"It's okay for Wanwan to lie to me, but don't let yourself get fooled too."

Shen Jingwen's question was too direct, and Ning Wan didn't have a chance to respond. All she could hear were those words that couldn't be said to outsiders.

But, shouldn't she be the one who suffers more in this kind of situation?

Ning Wan was slightly stunned, and was defeated by Shen Jingwen's slightly scrutinizing gaze. The smile on her face also slowly faded. After a long while, she lowered her head and defended herself:

"Anyway, I didn't lie."

"And weren't you scared just now?"

Ning Wan refused to give in, her head tilted slightly, her eyelashes trembling, and her red lips slightly pursed.

Shen Jingwen sighed silently and looked at Ning Wan, whose expression had become extremely unnatural because of his words.

Did she know that she was the one who suffered in this kind of situation, and that he backed off just because he didn't want her to think he was frivolous?

I guess he didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have the courage to kiss him.

Just thinking about the reason she mentioned.

Afraid?

She really found an excuse for herself that couldn't be any worse.

Perhaps she didn't know that when she felt a possessive desire for him, he, as a fellow human, could also sense this feeling.

"Nature is the result of Heaven; emotion is the essence of nature; desire is the response of emotion. If we pursue desire as if it were attainable, we will inevitably be subject to emotion. If we regard it as possible and then express it in a way that will lead to knowledge." (Quoted from Xunzi)

Shen Jingwen spoke calmly, as if he was just talking about an ordinary matter, and there was not even any ups and downs in his tone, calm and elegant.

Xiao Qi in Ning Wan's sea of ​​consciousness frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then began to cheat with his fingers. After a while, he got the translation of the previous sentence (roughly speaking):

It is human nature to pursue one's own desires. It is emotionally inevitable. Acknowledging one's desires and putting them into practice is a sign of intelligence.

Xiao Qi looked at the answer in disbelief, then looked at the serious male protagonist and clasped his hands together:

—'Snap'—

It thought it was some profound truth, but now it sees that the male protagonist's mind is not innocent either.

But the host has given such a good opportunity. Is this the time for the male protagonist to lecture on theoretical knowledge?

No matter how good the words sound, they can never compare to the truth that comes from practice!

Ning Wan is not an unlearned good-for-nothing. Although he is lazy and likes to read memorials at ordinary times, he is still willing to learn when he is serious.

Therefore, she had studied and learned the Ning family's business skills. She could do accounting and also had some knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Shen Jingwen's words seemed innocent, but in fact they seemed more like an allusion to her.

But when these flowery words were combined into a sentence and pronounced from Shen Jingwen's mouth, Ning Wan no longer wanted to worry about what he meant.

She only felt that a holy light fell on Shen Jingwen's head, like "Buddha's light shining everywhere", making her feel ashamed of herself, and any improper thoughts had nowhere to hide at this moment.

She shifted her eyes slightly, and twirled the corner of her sleeve with her fingers somewhat unnaturally: Hey, it's really a lot of trouble to have a boyfriend.

Shen Jingwen's eyes never left Ning Wan, and he even moved closer.

Ning Wan didn't hide, but raised her head and looked straight at him.

She wanted to see what Shen Jingwen wanted to do.

In a moment, the originally shy Shen Jingwen had already lost his youthfulness. One hand fell on her waist, and the other hand fell on the back of her neck. With a little force, he hugged her forcefully.

The burning sensation in her chest made Ning Wan lose consciousness for a moment.

Shen Jingwen imitated her just now, and whispered to Ning Wan's ear, word by word, with a smile:

"Wanwan, what you just did had nothing to do with fear."

"Look, you obviously like it too. Your mouth can lie, but your heart can't. So why did you lie to me and say you were scared?"

Shen Jingwen was extremely patient, lowering his voice with a hint of tenderness.

But in fact, he was like a beast locking onto its prey, wanting only to watch it struggle to death. He pretended to be indifferent, but kept teasing it, letting it think it still had a chance to survive, and then gave it a fatal blow in the end.

Unfortunately, Ning Wan was still kept in the dark at this time. She had no idea about the danger of Shen Jingwen and had no idea that the other party had begun to weave a net and try to gain her complete trust.

"Are you afraid that I'll hurt you?"

The ambiguous words made Ning Wan stiffen, but in return she received a chuckle from the other party.

It wasn't until a kiss fell on the neck that Ning Wan realized that Shen Jingwen was in danger at this moment.

Shen Jingwen's kiss was very light and did not linger, but the hand on the back of Ning Wan's neck exerted a little force, half-forcing Ning Wan's head to lift up.

"Does it hurt?"

Ning Wan shook her head subconsciously.

The smile on Shen Jingwen's face deepened, and the hand on the back of his neck loosened slightly. He pretended to be unintentional and asked:

"So Wanwan is still afraid?"

Ning Wan still shook her head, and was even forced to say aloud: "I'm not afraid."

The first answer is sincere, but the second answer is insincere.

Shen Jingwen's current state is obviously not right. If she doesn't comply, Shen Jingwen will probably kiss her until she is no longer afraid.

Although he got a satisfactory answer, Shen Jingwen was not satisfied in his heart, and even felt a little regretful. However, looking at his extremely well-behaved fiancée in his arms, he was reluctant to make things difficult for her.
