Chapter 703: Having Met Sister Su

Upon hearing those words, Ning Xue felt as if struck by a bolt of lightning…

Her whole body froze instantly, her pretty face…… instantly turned deathly pale, without a trace of color.

Ning Xue's lips…… trembled slightly, yet she could not make a sound.

She widened her beautiful eyes, eyes% filled with disbelief and fear.

Ning Xue's whole body…… trembled uncontrollably, even the motion of kowtowing stopped.

Ning Xue's mind went blank, only Su Monong…… that absurd and harsh demand…… remained.

It kept echoing in her ears.

Ning Xue bit her silver teeth, fingertips clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, knuckles turning white.

Ning Xue's eyes…… were full of humiliation and hesitation.

Ning Xue's voice was as faint as a mosquito, she whispered:

"Director Su, this, this is okay?"

Ning Xue, she truly could not accept such an absurd demand……

But, the fear deep in Ning Xue's heart…… and her obsession with work, made her dare not refuse outright.

Su Monong lowered his gaze to look at her, the corner of his mouth curling up with a playful smile.

Su Monong's tone was forceful…… and carried a hint of unquestionable certainty.

Su Monong lightly nodded: "Of course it's fine. Don't dilly-dally, go fetch a foot-washing basin and help us wash our feet."

Ning Xue's body tensed, her face full of astonishment, she instinctively cried out:

"Ah? Wash, wash feet??"

Ning Xue, thought she had misheard.

Even if it were a humble plea.

She never expected ^Su Monong to make such a humiliating demand?

Ning Xue, for a moment, actually couldn't react in time.

Su Monong's face…… instantly darkened.

In Su Monong's eyes, a flash of impatience passed, he nodded again to confirm:

"Of course, help us wash our feet. How? Could it be that you still want to go back on your word? Still want to bargain with me?"

In Su Monong's tone…… was full of warning.

It seemed as if, as soon as Ning Xue said a single "no," she would immediately withdraw all leeway and outright fire Ning Xue.

Ning Xue trembled with fright, hastily putting away the astonishment on her face.

Ning Xue nervously nodded, her tone extremely humble:

"I dare not, Director Su, I'll go now, I'll go fetch the foot-washing basin."

Ning Xue said, hastily scrambling up from the ground.

Ning Xue disregarded her shame, quickly walked to the restroom^

Ning Xue carefully…… brought out a clean foot-washing basin, quickly walked back.

Ning Xue respectfully placed the foot-washing basin before Su Monong.

Su Monong glanced at the foot-washing basin, the playful smile at his lips deepened, his tone carrying a hint of criticism:

"Just having a basin isn't enough; I want to soak my feet in milk, that way they'll be nourished, otherwise it'd be a waste of these jade feet of mine."

Ning Xue, upon hearing that, froze again.

Ning Xue's face showed difficulty, her voice tinged with panic:

"Ah? But, Director Su, we don't have milk at home."

Ning Xue instinctively explained, her eyes full of helplessness, afraid to anger Su Monong again.

Su Monong's face instantly turned cold, his gaze sharp enough to be frightening.

Su Monong raised his hand, signaling Ning Xue to stretch her face forward.

Ning Xue trembled with fear, not daring the slightest resistance, she could only slowly lower her head, bringing her face close to Su Monong's.

Immediately after, Su Monong raised his hand and lightly slapped her.

Su Monong's force wasn't too strong, yet it carried an intense sense of humiliation.

The clear slap sound was especially harsh in the muffled living room.

"Useless thing!" Su Monong lowered his voice, his tone full of reproach,

"No milk, you can't think of a way? Order takeout! I want Guangming's 24-hour fresh milk, not a drop less, hurry up!"

Ning Xue's cheeks…… showed a faint red mark.

Ning Xue's eyes…… humiliation intertwined, tears swelled in her sockets but she dared not let them fall.

Ning Xue hastily nodded, apologizing humbly: "Sorry, Director Su, I was wrong, I'll order now, I'll order now."

Ning Xue said, hastily pulling out her phone, unlocking the screen, opening Meituan delivery.

Ning Xue's fingers trembled as she tried to search for Guangming 24-hour fresh milk.

But before she could find it, Su Monong's hand rose again, and he lightly slapped her once more.

Still, it was light but extremely humiliating.

"Who let you use Meituan?" Su Monong's tone grew icier, he whispered a reprimand,

"Want to waste my money again? Don't you know? Taobao Flash Delivery now has big coupons, it's much cheaper than Meituan—use Taobao Flash Delivery for me, hurry, don't waste my time!"

Ning Xue's delicate body shuddered from the blow, she hastily closed Meituan.

Ning Xue's fingers fumbled…… sliding across the phone screen.

Ning Xue opened Taobao, found the Flash Delivery function……

Ning Xue, trembling... searching for Guangming 24-hour fresh milk.

Ning Xue feared that she had done something wrong again, making Su Monong unhappy.

Ning Xue's fingertips kept trembling, making even typing difficult; her eyes were full of humiliation and fear, yet she could only obey meekly, daring not to utter a single complaint.

Lin Yuan stood aside, watching Ning Xue being humiliated time and again, his heart filled with guilt and helplessness.

He knew that Su Monong was deliberately making things difficult for Ning Xue, but he could not stop this domineering woman at all.

Ning Xue's fingers trembled as she quickly completed the Taobao Flash Delivery order.

Ning Xue repeatedly checked that it was Guangming 24-hour fresh milk before daring to put away her phone.

Ning Xue stood respectfully to the side, head lowered, not daring to even breathe...

She feared that Su Monong would find another fault.

While waiting for the milk to be delivered, Su Monong leaned on the sofa and glanced at Ning Xue standing aside.

Su Monong's tone carried a hint of impatience as she gave the command:

"Come over, don't just stand there dazed; first give me a foot massage—it'll let you practice your hands."

Ning Xue's whole body tensed, and she hurriedly walked over.

Ning Xue carefully crouched down and reached out her hand, intending to massage Su Monong's feet.

But she had never given anyone a foot massage before, and her technique was very unskilled.

Ning Xue's fingertips... stiffly rubbed Su Monong's jade feet randomly.

Ning Xue's pressure... was either too light or too heavy, and she could not find the proper acupoints at all.

Su Monong furrowed her brows, her voice full of dissatisfaction:

"Useless thing, you can't even give a foot massage? Lin Yuan, come over and personally teach her—show her how to do it comfortably, don't waste my time."

Lin Yuan heard this, his heart filled with helplessness.

Lin Yuan could only stop what he was doing and move to Ning Xue's side.

Lin Yuan took her hand and gradually taught her how to locate the acupoints on the sole.

Lin Yuan softly instructed her on pressure: "Here is the Yongquan point—use lighter pressure, press slowly; here is the Taichong point—apply a bit more force..."

Su Monong sat aside, watching coldly the whole time, occasionally scolding Ning Xue a few sentences:

"You're so stupid, I've taught you and you still can't do it..."

"Press a little harder, haven't you eaten?"

Su Monong's domineering and harshness left Ning Xue... trained to be timid and hesitant.

Ning Xue trembled all over, daring not to retort in the slightest; she could only obediently follow Lin Yuan's instruction, becoming ever more compliant.

Not long after, Ning Xue's technique... showed some improvement.

Ning Xue could accurately locate the acupoints, and her pressure gradually became appropriate.

Ning Xue, as she massaged, Su Monong gradually relaxed, a hint of contentment appearing on her face.

Just then, the doorbell rang—the milk had arrived.

Ning Xue quickly got up and ran to open the door, receiving the milk.

Ning Xue carefully carried the milk into the living room.

Following Su Monong's instructions, Ning Xue slowly poured the milk into the foot-washing basin.

Ning Xue... respectfully said:

"Director Su, the milk is poured; you can soak your feet now."

Su Monong slowly lifted her foot and extended it into the milk basin.

But as soon as her foot touched the milk, she jerked it back.

Su Monong's face instantly darkened; she raised her hand... and slapped Ning Xue.

Su Monong coldly rebuked:

"So cold, do you want to freeze me to death? How am I supposed to wash?"

Ning Xue staggered back a step, the red mark on her cheek becoming ever more obvious.

Although the slap didn't hurt, Su Monong hadn't used much force.

But the sense of humiliation was strong.

Ning Xue's eyes were full of panic, her voice trembling as she apologized:

"Yes... sorry, Director Su, I didn't notice..."

"Is sorry useful?" Su Monong shouted angrily, "Still standing there? Hurry up and add some hot water, adjust the temperature properly—if you mess up again, see how I deal with you!"

Ning Xue was so frightened her whole body trembled, and she hurriedly nodded.

Ning Xue quickly ran to the bathroom and brought a basin of hot water.

Ning Xue carefully poured the hot water into the milk basin...

As she poured, she used her hand to test the temperature, fearing to anger Su Monong again.

But Su Monong again extended her foot into it, then jerked it back.

Su Monong's face grew even uglier; she raised her hand and lightly slapped Ning Xue again.

Su Monong's voice was full of anger:

"Are you blind? The hot water is so hot, do you want to scald me to death? You can't even control the temperature!"

Watching Ning Xue being humiliated over and over, her face flushed, her whole body trembling...

Lin Yuan could no longer bear to watch.

Lin Yuan stood up and spoke out to stop her:

"Director Su, haven't you had enough? She's already very obedient—why must you torment her so?"

Su Monong heard the words, slowly lifted her head, her gaze icy as she glanced at Lin Yuan.

Su Monong's mouth curled…… a hint of mocking smile, her tone harsh as she rebuked:

"How? You damned man, after just a little while, you're already feeling sorry for this little fox spirit?"

Lin Yuan, stung by her harshness…… trembled all over with anger.

The anger in Lin Yuan's eyes could no longer be contained; his voice full of helplessness and fury, he gritted his teeth and said:

"You're utterly unreasonable!"

He simply could not tolerate Su Monong's unreasonable behavior, repeatedly humiliating Ning Xue without any restraint.

Su Monong was enraged by Lin Yuan's rebuttal, her face…… instantly turning even uglier.

Su Monong, raising her hand, swung it toward Lin Yuan's cheek, her eyes full of coldness.

She, obviously provoked by Lin Yuan's resistance.

But just as Su Monong's hand…… was about to touch Lin Yuan's cheek……

Lin Yuan raised his hand, grabbed her wrist in one grip, the force so great that Su Monong couldn't move at all.

As the two stood locked in tension, Ning Xue hurried forward……

Ning Xue pulled Su Monong's arm with one hand while frantically trying to stop them:

"Director Su, Director Lin, please stop arguing, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'll wash your feet right away, please don't be angry……"

Su Monong glared fiercely at Lin Yuan, straining to break free of his grip.

Su Monong's tone remained icy and domineering: "Let go of me! What are you standing there for? Ning Xue, wash my feet, don't waste my time!"

Lin Yuan looked at the coldness in Su Monong's eyes, then at Ning Xue's pleading expression; the anger in his heart gradually gave way to helplessness, and he could only slowly release his grip.

Lin Yuan stepped back, sat on the sofa, utterly helpless.

Ning Xue dared not delay, quickly kneeling down.

Ning Xue carefully grasped Su Monong's jade feet and placed them into a basin of milk prepared at the proper temperature.

Ning Xue, gently began to knead Su Monong's jade feet.

Ning Xue's movements were gentle and respectful, fearing to displease Su Monong again.

Ning Xue's fingertips still trembled, the red mark on her cheek not yet faded.

Ning Xue's eyes were full of grievance, yet she could only silently endure it all.

Not long after the washing, Su Monong suddenly leaned forward slightly, extending her slender fingers.

Su Monong, lightly pinched Ning Xue's delicate chin, the force not too strong yet carrying an irresistible dominance, forcing her to lift her head.

"Lift your head." Su Monong's tone was flat, yet carried an undeniable command.

Su Monong's eyes…… were full of amused amusement, staring straight at Ning Xue's face.

Ning Xue's body tensed, she hastily lifted her head.

In Ning Xue's beautiful eyes…… still glistened with unshed tears, a picture of pear blossoms with rain, delicate and pitiful.

Tonight, she had endured enough humiliation and grievance, yet could only silently bear it, lacking even the courage to resist, the sorrow in her eyes nearly spilling over.

Su Monong looked at her state, the corner of her mouth twitching into a cold sneer.

Su Monong's tone…… carried a hint of teasing: "You're really pretty, huh? Feeling wronged, right?"

Ning Xue quickly shook her head, the sorrow in her eyes almost impossible to hide, yet she forced back her tears, speaking weakly:

"No…… no, Director Su, I'm not wronged."

Ning Xue dared not admit her grievance, fearing to provoke Su Monong's reprimand again.

Seeing this, Su Monong couldn't help but laugh, her laughter full of amusement and calculation.

Su Monong, gently rubbing Ning Xue's chin, her tone softened somewhat, yet still carried an overpowering dominance:

"Sister gives you a chance to become one of us—how about it? Do you want to become Sister's own person?"

Ning Xue's pretty face froze, she was completely stunned.

Ning Xue's eyes…… were full of panic and tension, she instinctively lifted her head, gazing at Su Monong's amused smile……

Ning Xue, her voice trembling slightly, asked urgently:

"What…… what opportunity? Director Su, I, I want to become one of us, I really do!"

Ning Xue thought…… this was Su Monong's chance to forgive her, not to fire her.

Ning Xue, even without knowing what the opportunity was, quickly agreed.

Su Monong's red lips lightly pursed, the smile on her face growing more playful.

Su Monong she slowly leaned in, bringing her face to Ning Xue's earlobe.

Su Monong, extending her tongue tip…… lightly licked her cheek, then…… in a voice only the two could hear, whispered softly……

In the next instant, Ning Xue's beautiful eyes flew wide open, her whole body frozen stiff.

On Ning Xue's face…… was utter disbelief, her lips trembling slightly……

At that moment, Ning Xue's mind went blank; Su Monong's words were like a thunderclap, echoing repeatedly in her ears.

After Ning Xue processed it, her eyes were full of panic and hesitation.

Ning Xue, her voice trembling slightly, asked cautiously:

"Director Su, this…… this really, really possible?"

Ning Xue simply couldn't believe that Su Monong would make such a request.

Su Monong slowly straightened up, lightly nodded, her eyes full of certainty and amusement: "Of course, it's possible……"

Standing aside, Lin Yuan faintly heard their conversation, his heart filled with shock and resistance.

Lin Yuan quickly stepped forward, intending to speak out and refuse, to stop this absurdity: "No, Su Monong, you can't……"

But before he could finish his words, Su Monong turned around and grabbed Lin Yuan's collar……

Su Monong pulled him to face her, bent down, and covered his mouth……

Su Monong interrupted his unfinished words with a scorching, domineering kiss.

Ning Xue squatted on the ground, watching the scene before her, her eyes full of complexity and helplessness……

……

Tonight, destined to be a sleepless night……

……

The next dawn, just as the sky began to lighten…… Ning Xue woke up early.

After last night's lesson, Ning Xue became even more obedient and docile.

At this moment, Ning Xue resembled a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.

Ning Xue rose quietly, afraid to wake Su Monong and Lin Yuan, who were still sound asleep in the bedroom.

Ning Xue tiptoed into the kitchen and began busily preparing breakfast.

She fumbled yet earnestly busied herself, frying eggs, simmering porridge, warming milk, and carefully preparing a few side dishes……

Not long after, the kitchen…… filled with a rich aroma.

A lavish, exquisite breakfast was soon set out on the living-room table.

Ning Xue stood by the table, gently adjusting the hem of her clothes.

Ning Xue's pretty face still bore an undispersed blush, and her eyes retained a trace of fatigue.

Ning Xue nevertheless continued to wait respectfully for the two to wake up.

In the bedroom, Su Monong was the first to wake up groggily.

Su Monong stretched lazily, glanced at Lin Yuan, who was still half-asleep beside her.

A flicker of mischief flashed in Su Monong's eyes as she reached out to twist Lin Yuan's arm, her tone tinged with impatience:

"Wake up, don't sleep anymore!"

Lin Yuan winced, his brows furrowed as he blearily opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused and still heavy with sleep……

Lin Yuan turned over, wanting to keep sleeping, mumbling indistinctly: "Just a little more sleep, I'm so tired……"

Seeing this, Su Monong's face darkened slightly as she grabbed and pulled off Lin Yuan's blanket.

Su Monong's tone grew stricter: "It's already high noon—still sleeping? Get up now, don't be lazy!"

Lin Yuan shivered all over, instantly becoming a bit more awake

He sat up helplessly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and his voice full of fatigue and grievance said: "Last night…… I was exhausted; can I just sleep a little longer?"

"What's the big deal about being tired?" Su Monong said, hands on hips, her tone forceful and sharp,

"You're a man—shouldn't being tired be expected? Besides, wasn't yesterday easy enough for you? Do you know how many men envy you? You're blessed but oblivious, an ungrateful lout!"

Saying this, Su Monong didn't wait for Lin Yuan to retort; she grabbed his ear, not too hard but enough to wake him.

Su Monong hauled him up from the bed: "No excuses—get up, wash up, and eat breakfast!"

Lin Yuan winced from the pain but dared not resist, only allowing Su Monong to keep pulling his ear……

Lin Yuan followed her out of the bedroom with a helpless expression, his eyes full of resentment yet with nothing he could do.

Just as they reached the living room, they saw Ning Xue standing by the table.

Ning Xue quickly stepped forward and gave a slight bow.

Ning Xue's tone was respectful, tinged with a hint of nervousness: "I… I have met Director Su, I have met Director Lin."

Upon hearing this, Su Monong's face instantly darkened; she raised her hand and lightly slapped Ning Xue's face.

Su Monong coldly rebuked: "Still calling me Director Su? What did I tell you last night?"

A fresh red mark appeared on Ning Xue's cheek; her eyes flickered with complex emotion—resentment and shyness—but she dared not retort in the slightest.

Ning Xue hurriedly corrected herself, her voice growing more respectful: "I… I have met Sister Su, I have met Brother Lin."

Only then did Su Monong relax her grip on Lin Yuan's ear, reveal a satisfied smile, and step forward.

Su Monong patted Ning Xue's cheek, her tone softening a bit with a touch of playfulness:

"Now that's obedient. Little Snow, did you make all this breakfast?"

Ning Xue quickly nodded, speaking softly: "Yes… it was me who made it; I don't know if Sister Su and Brother Lin will like the taste."

"Mmm, it smells wonderful," Su Monong said, walking straight to the table, sitting down, and picking up her chopsticks to eat.

Su Monong ate while waving her hand at Ning Xue: "Come here, Little Snow, come to my side."

Ning Xue tensed all over and hurried over……

Before Ning Xue could react, Su Monong flung her arms around her and pulled her into an embrace……
