After following Yan Man into the apartment, Bai Jinghong finally pulled his gaze back.
He couldn’t help but look around the room.
It was a one-bedroom, one-living-room setup, more than enough for one person.
The room was also filled with various handmade decorations.
They were likely Yan Man’s usual hobbies.
Yan Man led Bai Jinghong to the sofa, and he sat down as she poured some water.
Then came the classic pose—legs pressed together primly, hands resting upon them.
Bai Jinghong swore, even if this mature woman weren’t Chen Lin’s mother, he’d still be stirred.
Her charm was simply overwhelming, the flavor of a mature woman incredibly potent.
At home, she wasn’t even wearing her inner garment, two little dots faintly visible through her shirt—damn near deadly!
What healthy, hot-blooded young man could possibly withstand this?!
“How should I address you?” Yan Man asked.
“Bai Jinghong!”
“Mr. Bai, I’m not sure what you meant just now…”
Bai Jinghong put on a show of lament and expertly lit a cigarette.
“Madam, allow me to say a few words.”
“When you were eighteen, you returned home with Chen Jianbin. But the Chen family looked down on you for coming from an ordinary background and refused to accept you, eventually throwing you out!”
“It was on that very rainy night that you, in a daze, had relations with Chen Jianbin and conceived a child!”
Yan Man was extremely shocked. How could this young man in front of her know about things that happened over twenty years ago?
He was only in his twenties himself!
“After that, you hid the birth of the child from Chen Jianbin. But the matter was exposed, and the child was taken away. Isn’t that right?”
Yan Man’s body trembled. She looked at Bai Jinghong in disbelief.
“You… how could you know these things?”
Bai Jinghong waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t rush. Hear me out.”
“When you went to Chen Jianbin afterward, didn’t he tell you he knew nothing about it?”
“In fact, that child was taken away by Chen Jianbin’s own father, who arranged for men to seize him. His whereabouts thereafter became unknown!”
“Chen Jianbin was a man of true love and loyalty to you. For that matter, he turned against his family, left the Chen family penniless!”
This was all pure fabrication from Bai Jinghong.
In truth, it wasn’t like that at all. But Chen Lin’s damned father had long since kicked the bucket, so Bai Jinghong could make up whatever the hell he wanted.
So much time had passed that no one could verify anything. Besides, Bai Jinghong was only saying all this to pave the way for his next step!
“Then what about my child?” Yan Man grew agitated, even grabbing Bai Jinghong’s hand directly.
Bai Jinghong immediately clasped her hand in his. He sighed, “I’m sorry, Madam, I don’t know. However, the reason I’ve come knocking today is to repay a kindness!”
“When Chen Jianbin was in his glory days, he helped my family!”
“Now, after so many years, our family has gradually risen. So I thought, this debt of gratitude must be repaid!”
“But Chen Jianbin is no longer with us. That’s why I used my connections to find you!”
Yan Man had no doubt about Bai Jinghong’s words.
After all, the fact that he could recount those past events proved he had investigated thoroughly. Otherwise, who would care about such things.
“Madam, you can rest assured. I am still doing my best to arrange people to help find that missing child of yours.”
The moment Yan Man heard this, she grew agitated once more.
“Okay, thank you. Thank you so much!”
“You’re too polite, Madam. It’s all what I should be doing!” Bai Jinghong flashed a charming smile.
“By the way, Madam, do you have anything to eat here? I haven’t had dinner yet!”
Bai Jinghong wasn’t one to stand on ceremony.
“Ah? Yes, I have. Hold on a moment, I’ll go make you something!”
Yan Man immediately stood up. Bai Jinghong seized the opportunity, subtly hooking his foot.
“Ah~”
A soft cry of surprise.
Yan Man’s body suddenly tilted, and she toppled straight toward Bai Jinghong.
He caught her in his arms, one hand seemingly unintentionally pressing right over her proud peak!
Her momentum landed her directly sitting in his lap.
Yan Man was dressed rather lightly. The sensation in his hand felt like it was touching the mountain peak itself.
Conditioned by reflex, Yan Man let out another gasp, her face blushing a deep, impossible red.
Her body even shuddered violently twice.
Such a strong reaction gave Bai Jinghong a clear understanding of the situation.
A beautiful, mature woman living alone—her heart is always lonely.
As the saying goes: at thirty, a woman is like a wolf; at forty, like a tiger; at fifty, she can suck the earth dry; at sixty, she can even inhale mice through walls.
Yan Man was right at that wolf-and-tiger age, incredibly sensitive.
“Madam, are you alright?” Pretending ignorance, Bai Jinghong supported her arm with one hand.
Yan Man’s breathing had clearly become ragged.
She shook her head gently. “I’m sorry, Mr. Bai. I was just in a rush and didn’t steady myself.”
“Understandable, understandable. Madam just heard the news and was a bit excited. It’s nothing!”
“By the way, how about I call you Sister Yan? Calling you Madam all the time makes you sound old!”
Bai Jinghong smoothly shifted the topic.
Yan Man, wanting to change the subject herself, readily went along with it. “I’m not exactly young to begin with.”
“What kind of talk is that?” Bai Jinghong’s tone turned serious. “Sister Yan looks like she’s only in her twenties or thirties. Where is this ‘old’?”
“If I didn’t know your background, and I saw you for the first time, I would genuinely be calling you ‘Big Sister’!”
While Bai Jinghong’s words were somewhat exaggerated, they weren’t too far from the truth.
After all, Yan Man was the protagonist’s mother. Although she was supposed to be physically weak…
…her looks and personality were all top-tier.
“Mr. Bai, you flatter me!” Yan Man felt a bit shy and bit her lip.
“Just have a seat for a moment, I’ll go make you a meal!”
Saying this, Yan Man hurried straight into the kitchen.
Watching her retreating figure, a wicked grin spread across Bai Jinghong’s face.
He then began to survey the layout of the room again.
He wandered over to the open bedroom door.
He glanced inside.
Although entering someone’s bedroom without the owner’s permission was an act of extreme poor quality and rudeness…
Bai Jinghong was inherently a man of no quality and no manners.
He had absolutely no scruples.
Once inside, the scent of the room made him feel a certain heat.
Especially on that large bed, where some intimate garments lay.
A black intimate chest garment was casually tossed at the foot of the bed.
Judging by the size, at least a 36D—truly majestic.
There was also a small, black lace-trimmed pair of panties, similarly tossed aside.
Otherwise, everything was quite tidy and meticulously well-kept.
Bai Jinghong did a circuit and returned to the small living room outside.
A computer was set up there.
Bai Jinghong sat on the chair and wiggled the mouse; the screen automatically lit up.
This sight genuinely caught him off guard.
That page was from a certain online shopping platform.
And the search terms left in the search bar were all adult… toys.
Something called “Suction Sir,” a “Long Tongue Pleaser,” and another thing that looked like a deer twisting its head—Bai Jinghong didn’t even recognize it!
After his initial surprise, Bai Jinghong’s expression became very neutral.
It was understandable. A woman living alone, especially at this age with no partner, naturally used such devices to satisfy her own desires.
Bai Jinghong clicked back to the desktop and found a folder there, its icon positioned right in the middle of the screen.
He opened it, and holy shit—it was full of images and videos.
The images were nothing special, but the videos were electrifying.
They weren’t long, all just small clips of a few minutes—Western, Japanese, Korean.
Pizza delivery guy, plumber, courier, teacher, boss, company president…
It wasn’t hard to imagine: when Yan Man used those devices, this was what she was watching.
Just the slightest imagination of Yan Man here before the computer was enough to make a man’s blood boil!
