The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

With the divorce settled, they both felt a weight lift from their shoulders.

Upon returning, Yun Hao moved his belongings from the small, rented courtyard to the Educated Youth Quarters.

Xu Wenwan didn’t return with him. Instead, she went to see An Dongyang to tell him about the divorce.

An Dongyang was dumbfounded.

He hadn’t expected Xu Wenwan to get divorced so quickly. He’d thought about a future with her, even considered truly marrying her—after all, she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Still, the idea of getting married so suddenly made him a little reluctant.

So, Xu Wenwan asked her system for a potion spray. Anyone who smelled it would readily agree to her requests.

The spray was odorless, so An Dongyang didn’t react when he smelled it. But the moment she mentioned marriage, his heart pounded, and his mind was flooded with thoughts of how wonderful Xu Wenwan was.

"Alright, I’ll talk to my parents today."

The two spent the rest of the day acting all lovey-dovey before Xu Wenwan finally went back.

When she got back, the small courtyard was pitch-black.

She froze for a moment, a little dazed. Before, whenever she came home, the light in Yun Hao’s room would always be on. Now, being so abruptly alone, she found it a little hard to adjust.

She went inside, fumbling in the dark to light the kerosene lamp. She then realized there was no hot water. Yun Hao had always been the one to boil it; now that he was gone, there was none.

She had no choice but to boil the water herself.

She had just finished her bath and gotten dressed when she heard a commotion outside.

She immediately opened the door and stepped out.

A man was in the courtyard. He seemed to have just jumped over the wall and hadn’t gotten to his feet yet. Xu Wenwan looked at him and asked quizzically, "Who are you?"

The man hadn’t expected to be discovered. He grew a little nervous.

It was his first time climbing over a wall, and he wasn’t very skilled at it.

But when he saw that Xu Wenwan wasn’t screaming and was just staring at him with a clueless look, a fire ignited in his heart.

"My name is Gou Dan. I live on the west side of the village. You probably don’t know me."

Xu Wenwan nodded. "What are you doing here?"

Seeing that she really wasn’t going to call for help, the man could hardly contain his desire. "I heard you got divorced, so I came especially to... comfort you. Don’t you worry, I’ll be gentle."

Hearing this, Xu Wenwan didn’t refuse. She simply stated a condition.

"I like my men clean. Let me see your hands."

Hands?

The man glanced down at his hands and saw they were filthy. He rushed into the kitchen, scrubbed them several times, then dried them and came back out.

"Look!"

The man held out his hands for Xu Wenwan to inspect, his eyes practically glued to her body.

Xu Wenwan took his hands, and the man’s knees went weak.

The next moment, the system—which had been feeling stressed to the point of tearing its metaphorical hair out—suddenly felt much better as it sensed the fortune radiating from the man.

This man was bold and destined for some future success. Unfortunately, he was also lecherous. And tonight, a single moment of lust would cost him his entire future.

The system feasted comfortably, and the feeling of being drained by Xu Wenwan was finally alleviated.

Having absorbed the fortune of several people, a small, black-clad figure at the system’s core had become much more solid than before.

The man, whose fortune was being drained, had no idea what was happening. After less than five minutes of holding her hands, his body went limp, as if all his strength had been sucked away.

When the man collapsed, Xu Wenwan laboriously dragged him out and dumped him at the village entrance.

With her Power Pills and the system, she wasn’t the least bit afraid of going out alone at night.

Who knew if they were all drawn to Xu Wenwan, but for several days straight, men showed up at her door every night. Xu Wenwan didn’t spare a single one.

However, with all these men coming to her door, some unsavory rumors began to circulate.

But everyone pretended not to notice.

Meanwhile, An Dongyang had started a hunger strike.

「At the Xu Family home」

After returning, Village Chief Xu had fallen gravely ill. His high fever hadn’t broken for three days, and Liu Changshu no longer dared to prescribe medicine, telling them to take the man to the county hospital.

This terrified the family, and they rushed him to the hospital that very night.
