Xiao Mo took a step back, smiled faintly, and said politely, "Staying here would be quite inconvenient. I'm afraid I would tarnish your good name."
"Hehehe..." Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Xiang Niang covered her mouth and giggled. "Is it that you're afraid of ruining my reputation, Young Master, or are you afraid that I'll ruin yours?"
Her gaze was captivating, her voice growing softer. "You're overthinking it, Young Master. It's best you stay here. In fact, you can only stay here. This is the Grand Elder's will. Besides... if you're willing, Young Master, your time here could be absolute ecstasy."
With that, Xiang Niang waved the scented handkerchief in her hand, swaying her hips as she turned and left.
Xiao Mo watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but shake his head. He turned, walked back into his room, and closed his eyes to meditate.
Around noon, Xiang Niang called for Xiao Mo from the courtyard to come and eat.
Xiao Mo didn't refuse and had lunch with Xiang Niang.
