My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 636: Side Story 049 Has Mu Cidian’s Value Dropped This Much? (First Update)

It was deep into the night.

Mu Cidian had some trouble sleeping.

He was prone to insomnia, but tonight’s sleeplessness seemed rather different than usual.

He felt an unquenchable thirst and an inexplicable restlessness in his heart.

He tossed and turned in bed.

Eventually, feeling uncomfortable, he threw off his blanket and got up, intending to go to the living room for a glass of cold water to quench his thirst.

He opened the door to his bedroom.

It was very late by now.

The house was silent.

Mu Cidian headed for the kitchen, poured a glass of cold water, and drank it quickly, feeling somewhat relieved.

However, this relief was momentary. After finishing his drink, he felt a gnawing hunger.

He reluctantly drank two more glasses of water, but the feeling persisted. It did not alleviate his uneasiness, but rather seemed to upset his stomach.

He put down the empty glass, intending to return to his room and try to sleep again.

Just as he turned around,

he suddenly bumped into someone.

“Ah!” Lei Qian let out a soft cry.

Mu Cidian’s heart fluttered at her voice.

Lei Qian quickly stepped back, looking somewhat startled, “Mu Cidian?”

“Yeah,” Mu Cidian responded with a low voice.

“Are you also coming out for a drink?”

“Yeah.”

“Have you had your drink? Shall I pour some for you?” asked Lei Qian.

“No need. I’ve already had some.”

“Oh.” Lei Qian nodded.

Mu Cidian made to pass by Lei Qian.

Suddenly, Lei Qian grabbed his arm.

Mu Cidian froze.

Instinctively, he wanted to push her away, but his body remained motionless.

“I don’t know why, but I’m having trouble sleeping tonight,” Lei Qian said. “I didn’t want to disturb Auntie, so I came out here. Could you stay and chat with me awhile?”

Mu Cidian swallowed.

Lei Qian looked at him nervously.

In truth, she had been waiting for Mu Cidian in the living room all along.

She had waited for about two hours, not knowing whether or not he would come out. When he did, his steps seemed rushed, and she followed him unnoticed. Now, standing in front of him, she could feel his hot breath.

“I’m tired,” said Mu Cidian.

“Mu Cidian,” Lei Qian kept holding his hand, without letting go. “Could you keep me company for a while? I’m just feeling a bit scared. Auntie’s health is getting worse, I’m afraid…”

She trailed off, seeming choked up.

Looking at her in that state, Mu Cidian felt a strange attraction. Lei Qian looked so moving that he didn’t want to reject her.

All he felt was the warmth of Lei Qian’s small hand holding his.

A strange sensation made his heart race.

He never thought he could feel such a way towards anyone other than Xin Zaozao.

Yet, in that moment, he granted Lei Qian’s request.

They sat on the couch.

The distance between them was neither too close nor too distant.

He could smell the feminine scent emanating from Lei Qian.

He felt strangely restless.

Seemingly oblivious, Lei Qian spoke in the dimly lit living room, “Would you like some fruit? I can peel some for you.”

“No need.” Mu Cidian’s voice sounded different.

Lei Qian seemed nervous.

So nervous that she didn’t know what to do.

But she was trying to keep her cool. She asked, “Mu Cidian, how long do you think Auntie can hold up? You went to the hospital today. What did the doctor say?”

“The doctor didn’t say much. It’s still the same. It really just depends on her,” said Mu Cidian.

He made an effort to appear calm.

But the more he forced himself, the harder it seemed to calm down.

Right now, he even felt a sweat breaking out on his forehead. His view of Lei Qian was becoming blurred.

“You seem hot. Are you feeling okay?” asked Lei Qian.

Mu Cidian shook his head.

“But there’s sweat all over your forehead,” said Lei Qian.

And with that, she casually wiped his forehead with her hand, which only served to make his heart flutter even more.

Mu Cidian’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, uncontrollably.

Lei Qian wiped his sweat away, “I’ll turn down the air conditioning. You seem to be overheating.”

Mu Cidian did not argue.

He felt as though this heat was radiating from within him, and no amount of external cold could alleviate it.

Lei Qian went to lower the temperature of the air conditioning and came back.

The moment she came back, Mu Cidian abruptly stood up.

Lei Qian looked at him, perplexed.

Mu Cidian, whose voice had become hoarse and husky, said, “I’m going back to my room to rest. Watch some TV to pass the time.”

“Mu Cidian.” Lei Qian called after him.

Mu Cidian didn’t linger.

Lei Qian watched his retreating figure, hurriedly got up, and followed him.

Wan Quan had mentioned that the medication Mu Cidian was taking was very potent. No one could resist its effects on their own without potentially causing serious harm to their body. Lei Qian couldn’t allow Mu Cidian to hurt himself like that.

In the moment before Mu Cidian closed his bedroom door, Lei Qian purposefully tripped and fell into his arms.

Mu Cidian’s heart began racing even faster.

He felt a soft pressure against his body, igniting a desire to make it his own.

How could this be?!

He clenched his fists, restraining himself from touching the man in front of him.

He couldn’t possibly be so aroused.

No matter how much he missed Xin Zaozao, he wouldn’t allow himself to feel this way about any other woman.

Yet, in this moment, his burning desires seemed to override all reasoning.

All he could feel was Lei Qian writhing in his embrace, igniting waves of desire within him.

“Mu Cidian, you’re burning up. Are you running a fever?” Lei Qian asked.

As she said this,

Her hand deliberately moved over his body…

Mu Cidian’s throat bobbed up and down.

His reaction was such he could barely resist the temptation to take the woman before him…

No.

He couldn’t.

He forcefully tried to clear his head, and abruptly, he pushed Lei Qian away.

Lei Qian was taken aback.

She had clearly perceived Mu Cidian’s desire, yet he was still able to push her away.

Even those inexperienced in these matters would be able to feel the yearning in Mu Cidian’s heart, but he still pushed her back.

She stood in front of him.

Mu Cidian said, “It’s too late…”

“Mu Cidian, I know it’s late, I know you want to sleep, but can I stay with you tonight?”

Mu Cidian looked straight at Lei Qian.

“I know you want to, I don’t need you to be responsible, I just… Can it be a one night stand?” Lei Qian asked him.

Mu Cidian’s heart throbbed.

In that moment, looking at the woman in front of him, his heart pounded.

His eyes were bloodshot.

His body was constrained to the extreme.

Lei Qian saw that Mu Cidian was silent, his silence was generally a tacit agreement, so at that moment, she tremblingly let herself be bold.

Boldly, she unbuckled the modest nightgown she was wearing.

Mu Cidian looked at her.

Looking at the woman in front of him, bit by bit…

Mu Cidian’s heartbeat became more apparent.

Looking at the woman in front of him, he really desired her.

He just looked at her, watching her come closer and closer, letting her lean her entire body into his embrace.

His heartbeat accelerated as if it was about to jump out.

At that moment, he was restraining himself, as if he couldn’t hold back any longer.

The door of the room next door suddenly opened.

Wan Quan leaned on the door, took out her phone and took a couple of photos.

This scene, how fabulous.

A cold sneer appeared on Wan Quan’s lips.

It wasn’t that he wanted to break his son’s marriage, but if it wasn’t for Xin Zaozao, she would accept her son’s choice now.

She returned to her bed.

The short walk left her panting for breath.

She sent the two photos she took to Xin Zaozao.

After tonight.

Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao would be completely done!

Meanwhile.

Xin Zaozao was lying in bed, actually already asleep.

But due to some restlessness about a work related matter, she was suffering from insomnia.

The sound of a message alert had her grabbing her phone casually.

The moment she opened the message, her eyes freeze on the screen.

The picture showed a naked woman leaning in the arms of a man. The woman’s face wasn’t shown, but the man’s face was very clearly visible.

It was Mu Cidian.

The message was sent by Wan Quan.

She scoffed.

Wan Quan was ready to try everything just to keep her from being with Mu Cidian.

Would she care?

She didn’t care in the least.

Regardless of how many women Mu Cidian had been with, it was none of her business.

Just as she was about to put down the phone.

A new message arrived on her phone: “It’s Lei Qian. They’re together now.”

Xin Zaozao didn’t want to reply, she was not in the mood to deal with Wan Quan, but at this moment, she found herself replying still, “Your son’s value has dropped to this point?”

“What do you mean?” Wan Quan, seemingly infuriated by Zaozao’s response.

“Lei Qian has no money, no beauty, or figure. With your high expectations of your son, is he now only worthy of this kind of woman?”

“What are you smug about, Xin Zaozao! Lei Qian might not be the best, but she is a virgin, which makes her totally different from you who has been with countless men! Virginity is an asset, do you understand? You can’t compare to her. Besides, do you think my son is shallow? He is with Lei Qian because he is touched by her. Lei Qian has always taken care of me, virtuous and filial. Men will eventually choose this kind of virtuous wife and mother, unlike women like you, who are nothing more than tools for men to play with.”

“In that case, congratulations to your family.” Xin Zaozao replied cynically, “Congratulations on your impoverished life from now on.”

“Don’t get too cocky. My son is still young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I am sure, once you lose my son, you will regret it for the rest of your life. And my son won’t even look at you ever again.”

“Let’s wait and see.” Xin Zaozao turned off her phone decisively.

She didn’t want her eyes to be dirtied by Wan Quan.

She put down her phone, and closed her eyes to sleep.

The image of Mu Cidian and Lei Qian kept playing in her mind.

It was good in a way.

It would end cleanly this way.

She turned over, forcing herself to sleep.

…

At this moment in Mu Cidian’s room.

Lei Qian was actively entwining herself around him.

She could truly feel Mu Cidian’s heartbeat for her, she felt that tonight, tonight… she would become his woman.

She boldly went to kiss him.

Her lips barely approached, not yet touched his.

Her body suddenly hurt.

Mu Cidian harshly pushed her away.

He pushed her hard onto the floor.

“Mu Cidian…” Lei Qian fell to the ground, in pain, her whole body trembling.

Mu Cidian’s face was flushed, his body hot, but at this moment he felt ice cold.

He said, “Don’t come near me Lei Qian.”

“Why?”

“I’ve told you I will only love Xin Zaozao.”

“But what about Xin Zaozao?” Lei Qian asked him, weeping.

“That’s her business.”

“Mu Cidian, why do you have to do this for Xin Zaozao? Your body is in this condition now, why do you still think of Xin Zaozao? Xin Zaozao really doesn’t deserve your kindness!”

“What’s wrong with my body?” Mu Cidian’s gaze sharpened.

Lei Qian clenched her teeth.

“What’s wrong with my body?” Mu Cidian looked somewhat ferocious.

Tears streamed down Lei Qian’s face, she didn’t hide it anymore, she said, “Auntie made me give you a drug.”

Mu Cidian’s fist tightened.

He slammed his fist hard on the wall.

The loud noise woke up Wan Quan again.

She got up from the bed once more.

Walked to Mu Cidian’s room, looking at him still not touching Lei Qian.

Her eyes narrowed.

Lei Qian said, “Mu Cidian, you and Xin Zaozao will not be happy, even without Auntie, Xin Zaozao does not love you. If she loved you, she wouldn’t have treated you like this, why do you have to degrade yourself like this! As for me, I can love you very much, I can be anything…”

With that said.

She got up from the floor again, got up and walked towards Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian stopped paying Lei Qian any more attention.

All he knew was that his consciousness was becoming blurrier and blurrier.

He needed to leave now.

He hurriedly walked to the door.

As he passed by.

The door “slammed” shut.
