Chapter 54 I want it, I want it very much, I want it especially!

Jiang Ning couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her cheeks. They were much smoother and more hydrated than before. If she continued using the product, the results should be quite good.

"Alright, let's go eat."

The two entered the main room. Shen Mo and Commander Li were chatting, while Sister-in-law Li was peeling eggs for Zhiqi.

After the two girls sat down, Shen Mo handed them two bowls of rice that he had prepared.

Li Xingyue accepted it, somewhat flattered.

Li Xingyue is in college, and Commander Li hasn't seen his daughter for a while. As he ate the rice in his bowl, he said to his wife, "Our Xingyue seems to have gotten a bit fairer, huh?"

Sister-in-law Li felt the same way. She had glanced at her eldest daughter when she came home to put her things away, and she didn't look as fresh and youthful as she does now.

The thought of her daughter becoming fair-skinned made Sister Li's eyes light up, and she also remembered whose credit it was for her daughter's transformation.

Sister-in-law Li looked at Jiang Ning with even more kindness and kept putting food on Jiang Ning's plate, mostly meat dishes.

If Jiang Ning hadn't stopped them in time, the food in their bowls would have piled up like a mountain.

She looked at her bowl with a hint of helplessness.

Shen Mo looked at her with a doting smile, then said to Sister-in-law Li, "Sister-in-law Li, you eat it yourself, my wife can't eat that much."

Sister-in-law Li also realized what was happening and started eating her meal properly.

After the meal, as Commander Li and his family left, Jiang Ning handed two enamel mugs to Li Xingyue, saying, "I've already explained the method to you. You should apply it every day, and this should be enough for you to use on your face for a month."

"Just make one cup of this for drinking every day. Don't overdo it. This jar will last you one or two months."

"Thank you, Sister Jiang." Li Xingyue expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

Sister-in-law Li was displeased with the way she was addressed. "What are you calling her? I call her 'little sister,' and you call her 'older sister.' Doesn't that mess up the family hierarchy? You should call her 'auntie.'"

Li Xingyue turned to look at Jiang Ning's bright and youthful face, but she couldn't bring herself to call her "Auntie." She then turned to her mother and said, "Sister Jiang is only three years older than me. Wouldn't calling her 'Auntie' make her sound old?"

These words left Sister Li speechless.

She thought about it and agreed. The age and generational gap was indeed hard to explain. Sister Li waved her hand and said, "Never mind, call me whatever you want. Sister Jiang doesn't mind, right?"

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

Commander Li and his family went back.

Shen Mo was boiling water in the kitchen, while Jiang Ning was washing clothes in the yard. Although Shen Mo had taken care of all the housework, she couldn't just do nothing.

Just as she finished washing the clothes, there was a knock on the gate. Jiang Ning went to open it.

It was Sister Li knocking on the door.

As soon as Jiang Ning opened the door, Sister Li grabbed her hand and stuffed a ten-yuan note into her hand.

When Jiang Ning saw that it was money, she refused, saying, "Sister-in-law Li, what are you doing?"

Sister-in-law Li said, "The whitening cream you made for my daughter, which she applies and drinks, must have had a cost, right? How could my family take it from you for free?"

The cost of making almond paste and three-white paste with ginger and lemon is not high, but the process is time-consuming and laborious.

Although it took a lot of effort, whitening skin isn't something that can be achieved overnight. Jiang Ning pushed the money back, saying, "Sister-in-law Li, I really can't accept this money. You can give me the money when Xingyue's skin really shows results."

"Besides, I have other plans. Xingyue is in college. If she turns white, she'll be my living advertisement. I also plan to make money from it."

Sister-in-law Li was convinced by Jiang Ning's words, and she hadn't expected Jiang Ning to want to make money in this way.

"Alright, then feel free to spray my girl's face."

A girl's talent is important, but her looks are equally important. If she didn't trust and know Jiang Ning's character, Sister-in-law Li really wouldn't have dared to let Jiang Ning test her daughter's face.

With nothing important to do for the next period of time and a job secured, Jiang Ning decided to treat everyone to a meal.

When Shen Mo applied for this courtyard, Yang Zhengtu and Qian Feng put in a lot of effort, and Jiang Ning also became familiar with Sister Li's family.

That evening, Jiang Ning told Shen Mo about it, "Shen Mo, let's treat everyone to dinner tomorrow. Yang Zhengtu and Qian Feng helped a lot when we moved in, right?"

Shen Mo had actually wanted to bring this up for a long time. In many places, people would invite relatives and friends to a housewarming party after moving into a new house, but Jiang Ning had been thinking about divorce, so he had kept this matter to himself.

He was very happy to hear Jiang Ning bring it up herself.

“Okay, then I’ll invite them over tomorrow,” Shen Mo said.

Jiang Ning: "Calculate how many people there will be tomorrow, and I'll see how much food we need to buy."

Yang Zhengtu and Qian Feng are both single and have never married, while Commander Li's family has four members. Shen Mo also mentioned a few other people he was on good terms with.

Jiang Ning calculated that there were about a dozen people, not enough for one table.

If one table isn't enough, then have two.

Jiang Ning walked to her desk, took out a notebook, and wrote down the cooking ingredients she needed to buy for tomorrow. After finishing, she went to bed and snuggled into Shen Mo's arms.

Shen Mo smelled the fragrance of the chimes emanating from his arms, and his wife lay so obediently and softly in his embrace.

Jiang Ning was still thinking about tomorrow's menu; she wanted to treat Shen Mo's friend well.

Feeling uncomfortable in her current position, she rolled around in Shen Mo's arms and found a more comfortable spot.

"call--"

The breathing above her head suddenly became heavier, and hot air poured out. Jiang Ning seemed to notice and raised her head slightly, her lips touching his slightly stubbled chin.

Shen Mo felt something soft touch his chin. Before he could react, he felt a chill on his abdomen, as if something was trying to sneak under his clothes.

Jiang Ning didn't think much of it; she just wanted to touch something. Just as she touched his abs, her hand was suddenly pressed down.

The warmth beneath his palms grew increasingly intense, and the breathing above his head became heavier.

In the darkness, Shen Mo's eyes changed...

Half of my body was numb.

"young married woman......"

Jiang Ning could easily tell that Shen Mo's address of his wife was laced with desire.

The veins in the hand that was gripping her through her clothes looked like they were about to burst.

Jiang Ning hadn't actually thought about that matter, but now that things had come to this, she felt it was about time.

A faint blush crept onto her cheeks. "Shen Mo, I've made up my mind."

Jiang Ning struggled to free herself, then turned in the opposite direction...

Shen Mo now deeply regrets agreeing to his wife's offer to treat him to dinner today.

Just as Jiang Ning was about to climb up, Shen Mo caught her again, his heavy tone full of restraint, "Wife, we have important business to attend to tomorrow."

Jiang Ning didn't expect that Shen Mo could still hold back at the last minute.

She suddenly doubted her own charm, "Don't you want to?"

"I want to, I really want to, I especially want to!" Shen Mo's tone became more and more intense with each word.

"But if you don't want to lose face in front of Sister Li and the others tomorrow, let's wait until tomorrow night, okay?" Shen Mo's eyes were slightly red, and he called softly, "Ningning."

If he actually does it tonight, his wife will definitely blame him tomorrow and won't let him touch her for a long time. In the end, he'll be the one who suffers more.

Jiang Ning felt a chill run down her spine when he called her "Ning Ning".

He understood the implication in his words: "I'll only allow you this once, it won't get that serious."

"Not enough." The man's voice was somewhat deep.

"Cough cough—" Jiang Ning choked on her saliva. She really hadn't thought much about it. After all, she had heard that the first time would hurt a lot, so she just wanted to try it out.
