As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels

Chapter 9.6

Seeing that Ning Xirong’s expression had turned stiff as if she had eaten a fly, Fan Yuan laughed to himself, thinking, wanting to seduce his family’s man, you do have some guts.

He patted Yan Rui’s broad and thick shoulder and deliberately raised his voice, “Big Brother Yuan, let me down ba. You must be tired from carrying me on your back all the way. Blame it all on my bad health, it only drags others down.”

Yan Rui was more than aware of his little ideas. He gently put Fan Yuan down and rubbed his head, carrying a yearning look of deep love, “Big Brother Yuan is not tired. As long as Qi’er is happy, even if your body is not well for your entire life, Big Brother Yuan is willing to take care of you. As long as I am here, no one can mistreat you.”

Ning Xirong was still playing the zither, but her playing was clearly less smooth or stable than how it was previously, coming out messily and practically out of tune. It could be seen that her emotions were already in complete disarray.

Fan Yuan’s stomach was about to cramp from laughing! He held back his laughs and nodded in a reserved manner, speaking in a touched voice, “Big Brother Yuan, you are so good to me. As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything.”

As he finished speaking, he inadvertently swept his gaze over the female lead before blossoming into a brilliant smile, “Sister Xirong, what a coincidence! The song you played was truly unique, I couldn’t even tell what it was. Could it be that you came up with it yourself? So many brothers and sisters are here to enjoy the tea and the scenery, it is better not to not disturb everyone’s enjoyable mood.” With that, he pulled Yan Rui into the private room.

These words were clearly mocking Ning Xirong for coming out to show off despite her poor zither performance, disturbing others who were enjoying the tea and the scenery. Almost immediately, people started chuckling out loud, blatantly laughing at her.

The people who had the ability to reserve a private room on the top floor of Moon-gazing Inn were all powerful personages in the capital. However, these kinds of people were often of delicate bodies, being unwilling to withstand the crime of scaling the inn. After all, the 880 levels of staircases were too high, so only a handful of playful young ladies and young masters liked to come here. Naturally, they couldn’t stand Ning Xirong’s kind of pretentious attitude.

She had previously been in the limelight at the flower appreciation party that the Princess Royal had held, plus she was known as the most talented lady in the capital. According to the large amount of glory that she had, came as many people that hated her out of envy. Now that an opportunity had come, those people would naturally not let it go.

Ning Xirong heard the direct, yet indirect ridicule, and she inwardly cursed in hate at Ning Siqi for being this despicable. She was even more disgusted with the legendary cold-blooded General Yuan Ting. She had long heard that he was getting ahead in his years but hadn’t taken a wife yet, so she had thought that he was exercising self-control so as to protect himself from immorality, but he turned out to be a cut-sleeve!

Looking at his attitude just now, it was clear that he had already been charmed to the point of head over heels by Ning Siqi. It was meaningless to stay any longer, so she hurriedly instructed her maid to pack up her things before making herself scarce quickly.

Ning Siqi actually had a lot of guts to be so affectionate with Yuan Ting in public view, tainting the centuries-held unsullied reputation of the Ning Family. She wanted to see if Father would still let him go this time round.

*******************

As soon as they entered the private room, Fan Yuan sprawled over the table and roared with laughter. Yan Rui gently helped him rub his stomach while ordering the water to serve the tea and snacks.

The top floor was equipped with a separate kitchen, and coupled with the fact that there were few guests on this level, the efficiency of the service was extremely high. Very soon, all the food was already served.

Yan Rui fed him in small little bites and tested the temperature before feeding them into his mouth. Fan Yuan had gotten used to being served like this since a long time ago. As he opened his mouth to chew on the food, he played with the nine interchained rings made of warm nephrite jade that Yan Rui had gifted him.

While he himself had gotten used to this, others did not. The two little ladies serving tea girls shrunk into a corner with bright red cheeks, when they listened to their conversation, they had already thought it was a bit ambiguous. They didn’t think that once the two started interacting with one another, they would cause others to think wildly even more. They were almost the same as a newly-wedded couple.

Yan Rui didn’t like it when others stared at Fan Yuan. He waved his hand and said, “No need to serve us. You can both withdraw.”

The two girls quickly lowered their heads and rushed out of the door, with one of them commenting, “Young Master Ning is only 14 years old. He looks like a flower with red lips, white teeth and skin paler than snow. He’s so much better than that capital’s most beautiful lady, Miss Ning. No wonder a person who is so cold and unbending like General Yuan can’t help but soften either.”

The other whispered in a low voice, “But General Yuan is quite a bit older after all. I heard he’s already 27, just a few more years and he can even become Young Master Ning’s father. Don’t tell me…he has some kind of special hobby…….”

The little servant girl who had spoken earlier nodded, “That’s hard to say. General Yuan has always been eccentric. Having some special hobbies, that’s not entirely impossible.”

They hadn’t gone far to begin with, so every single word was transmitted into Yan Rui’s ears. At this, his expression seamlessly turned into a frown.

Fan Yuan was much more perceptive of his emotions. He turned his head and measured him up, thoughtfully asking, “Yan Rui, what’s wrong? In a bad mood?”

Of course, Yan Rui was in a bad mood. Let’s not mention when Fan Yuan could even get this body of his better, he was too young as well. He would have to wait four or five more years until he reached adulthood. Don’t tell him that he could only eat nothing during this period?

Fan Yuan stared at him innocently, the corners of his mouth stuck with pastry crumbs. Due to the fact that he had drank tea, his lips had become shining and moist, added on with the faint fragrance emanating from his body — his mind had practically become enthralled and muddled. A rush erupted in his heart and his body had already reacted first.

Fan Yuan, caught off guard, was pulled over by Yan Rui to straddle his lap. The man cupped his face and left heavy kisses on his lips. At first, he was just tasting, taking measured movements that barely scratched the surface by licking and grinding against his pink lips. However, Fan Yuan started feeling too comfortable and unknowingly let out a moan, and Yan Rui’s pupils darkened immediately. He took the opportunity to delve deep into his mouth, plundering for his sweet body fluids while entangling with his tongue. His actions became more and more rough, to the point that Fan Yuan was almost suffocating from his kisses, and his body also unknowingly became excited.

This body had never felt lust or sexual desire before, so now his entire body was radiating with an unbearable heat. Fan Yuan couldn’t help but murmur lowly like a wounded animal, praying for the hunter to show some pity and love. Yan Rui released his red and swollen lips and saw Fan Yuan slowly widening his eyes, revealing pupils that were completely watery, appearing charming and moving. Yan Rui knew that his boy was moved with emotion.

*******************

As the evening came around, Fan Yuan was afraid that Xu-shi would be worried so he complained that he wanted to go back. Yan Rui had no choice but to help him put on his clothes and send them back to the Ning Estate personally.

Seeing that they were about to reach, Yan Rui said, “Your system, number 10018, has been overhauled. It should be able to run again. You try to call for it in your mind.”

Fan Yuan nodded, and he suddenly thought of something. He asked, “You said that Xiao Wu had been maliciously attacked. Can you find out who did it?”

“It’s just an ant that’s not worth mentioning. Don’t worry. Since they dare to touch you, I will make them pay a thousand times more.” His tone carried an indiscernible emotion, but it made one feel cold.

Fan Yuan tactfully decided not to pursue the matter any longer. He glanced left and right to check that there were no people, before standing on his tiptoes and leaving a peck on Yan Rui’s cheek. With a sly grin on his face, he turned and walked into the Ning Estate.

A touch of a smile flashed through Yan Rui’s eyes, and then he turned around and said, “What’s the matter.”

A woman suddenly appeared opposite him with a pleasantly warm smile on her face. Even her voice made people feel like a spring breeze was blowing. “Is that person the one who makes you willingly fall into depravation?”

Yan Rui narrowed his eyes, “Ming Qi, you’ve overstepped.”

The woman quickly put away her smile, eyes drooped, “Hughes has defected. He let go of Yinyue and Mo Tianhe as well.”

Yan Rui’s face still no held expression. He was simply silent for a short moment before answering, “En.”

“When do you plan to deal with them?” Ming Qi said, “Among the ten senior law enforcers, half of them have already betrayed us, and Cheng Wei has gone to the source world but he hasn’t returned. We’re left with four people, I’m afraid that we have no way to fight against him.”

Yan Rui raised his eyebrows, “Wasn’t Hughes’ Yangxuan Mirror taken away by Li Yanlong? Now both sides should be equally matched in strength.”

Ming Qi suddenly jolted in shock, speaking as if it was unbelievable, “Unless he found out a long time ago!”

“You’re always indignant that you’re less competent than Li Yanlong. Now you should know where you have lapsed.”

Ming Qi didn’t agree with this view. Compared with Li Yanlong, she had never come into contact with Hughes. It was normal that she didn’t discover that anything was off.

She frowned, “Since you discovered it long ago, why did you not immediately get rid of this traitor.”

Yan Rui glanced at her calmly and said slowly, “Isn’t it interesting to watch these ants struggle and think that they have gained hope, but to turn out that they were merely in another abyss of despair.”

Ming Qi: “……” In fact, this was the real reason why she was less competent than Li Yanlong right? Because she wasn’t vicious enough!

On the other hand, Fan Yuan had gone back to his Fukang Courtyard. Before he could sit down and have a drink of water, he was invited to the ancestral hall by the housekeeper, saying that the master had something to ask him.

He laughed to himself, go to the ancestral hall for questioning? Did he take him for a child who was ignorant of the ways of the world? It was clear that this was playing at making use of the head of the family to lynch others through discipline. In the previous life, Ning Xirong’s reputation had been ruined by others and finally, she hanged herself in the ancestral hall, so she wanted him to die there too?

This woman sure moved fast. In the blink of an eye, she had gone to complain to the old man. This person Ning Zhe valued his reputation, so he was bound to denounce him. However, the so-called taint on the family ugliness should never be publicized, so he would seek to cover it up completely. No one would know about it except for his own confidants.

This way, things would be easier.

He called out softly in his mind, “Xiao Wu, are you awake?”

After a while, the familiar “Ding” sounded, “What request does Master have?”

Fan Yuan was silent for a moment, before asking uneasily, “Do you still remember me?”

Xiao Wu: “……”

“I heard you were sent for overhauling. Was your data cleared? Don’t tell me you lost your memory? Don’t the novels often have this, the protagonist falls ill and goes to get treatment, but they don’t remember their lover after that.”

Xiao Wu: “……”

Seeing that it didn’t answer all this time, Fan Yuan let out a little sigh of relief and said, “So aloof and cold, this should still be my family’s Xiao Wu!”

Xiao Wu felt that if it was a human, it would definitely give him a big roll its eyes. It wasn’t aloof and cold to begin with, it was speechless, OK!

But Fan Yuan was unaware that his family’s aloof and cold system was silently criticising him. He said happily, “Xiao Wu, a weird uncle and an ugly woman want to bully me later, you must help me ah.”

“Ding, what does Master need Xiao Wu to do?”

“There were quite a few rewards from the previous world, let’s exchange for some stuff first. Do you have any aphrodisiac? The best would be the kind that can dissolve in the air and immediately take effect. ”

“Ding……” Xiao Wu replied in a trembling voice, “Yes there is……”

Just to jog your memory (because I know I needed to), the senior law enforcers come in at Chapter 4.9 and 6.10!
