Chapter 468: No Women in the Heart

Mu Yiting was determined to stay in Lin Nuo’s room, even going so far as to climb into his bed.

Just as she said, she divided the bed into a three-seven split.

Three parts for her, and seven for Lin Nuo.

It wasn’t exactly a defined boundary like the Chu-Han Contention; it was more of a casual arrangement. In the dead of night, crossing lines would be hard to discern.

When Mu Yiting initially arranged Lin Nuo’s room, she had already considered the bed to be a double, but not too spacious, specifically designed with their body types in mind.

Lin Nuo found this quite challenging.

If it were that little girl Ruo’er, it wouldn’t have been a problem—there was no pressure sleeping with her.

But now he was stuck with a master, which felt heavy. Everything was inconvenient.

For instance, reading some steamy stories before bed was out of the question with Mu Yiting there; if she scooted over to ask what he was reading, that’d be awkward.

Writing in his diary? Who writes diaries anyway? Yet, he wasn’t just any ordinary person.

He didn’t even remove his makeup before bed but would shower and reapply it, maintaining his image as the ruthless black market figure in Helong Hall.

Mu Yiting treated the place like her own room, lying back comfortably and even patting the bed, signaling Lin Nuo to join her.

“Young Master Ni, it’s getting late, you should rest soon.”

“Young Master, I’ll sleep on the floor.”

“Okay, if you’re sleeping on the floor, then I will too! I’ve never really tried sleeping on the floor before.”

“……”

Goodness, is she really determined to sleep next to me, Lin Nuo?

Lin Nuo thought to himself, Mu Yiting really had guts, climbing into the bed of her male subordinate.

Could it be that she suspected his identity and was here to investigate, lying in wait by the bed to rummage through his things while he slept?

Possible, but he was prepared for everything—after all, it wasn’t the first time a stranger had rummaged around at night.

Important items were locked up; if anyone tried to force it, an alarm would go off.

The last time that alarm rang was in Xuanyun Sect when Ruo’er accidentally triggered it by rummaging through a cabinet while cleaning. That noise was quite loud.

Lin Nuo sighed, thinking that if he pushed back against Mu Yiting’s insistence, it might raise her suspicions, so he agreed.

“Alright then, if Young Master has any abnormalities tonight, feel free to wake me. I’m always on standby.”

“This isn’t work; you don’t need to maintain a work attitude. Just come up already.”

Mu Yiting smiled, clearly impatient for Lin Nuo.

He even took another cup from the cabinet and handed it to her.

“Young Master, this blanket is clean; you can use it.”

“No need, I’ll just use yours. If it’s not yours, I won’t use it.”

“……”

Now that’s just too much! What do you mean you won’t use it if it’s not mine? Is she a freak?

Is she really going to go to this length just to keep tabs on me?

Of course, if it was an ordinary man, hearing such words would stir his heart. He’d be hopelessly captivated, obedient to her every command.

But Lin Nuo was not that easy to sway; no matter how friendly she tried to be, it would be futile.

He climbed into bed first, using that blanket for himself, each covering their own side, not interfering with one another.

Mu Yiting lay on her side, staring at Lin Nuo’s face with a slightly raised smile.

She’d rather count dumplings than miss out on watching his handsome face.

But Lin Nuo noticed her gaze from the side; it felt like he was being watched, and he was uncomfortable.

With a flip, he turned his back to Mu Yiting.

There, that gaze was gone.

Mu Yiting frowned; even if she was sleepless, she wanted to see Lin Nuo’s sleeping face, feeling at ease and joyful.

But now he had turned away, how could she see his sleeping face?

“Young Master Ni, can you turn back?”

“Young Master, it’s getting late, you should rest early.”

“Just turn back; you can rest after that.”

“That’s just my preferred sleeping position.”

Lin Nuo ignored her, continuing to face away. Facing her would only create problems; first, he’d feel uneasy with her staring at him, second, he wouldn’t be able to ignore her breathing. He wasn’t used to that at all.

Lin Nuo remained cold, even when Mu Yiting took off her outer garments to reveal her sexy, alluring nightwear and fair skin—he acted as though he didn’t notice.

No amount of alluring beauty would tempt him; he needed an interesting soul for that.

Mu Yiting was puzzled; this back-to-her was far from interesting. She tried to tease him.

She reached out her delicate right hand, lightly brushing his face, then leaned in to whisper in his ear:

“Darling, don’t ignore me~”

Yet Lin Nuo moved forward a bit, deliberately avoiding her.

She wouldn’t let it go, following Lin Nuo’s movements, intent on getting closer.

There wasn’t much room on the bed for both of them; if Lin Nuo shifted, he might fall off.

“Young Master, if you move again, I might fall off the bed.”

“Then if you don’t move, won’t that be better for me?”

“Young Master, please sleep well.”

“I’m right next to you. Are you really unmoved? Don’t you have any thoughts?”

“I do; I want to sleep.”

Lin Nuo covered his head with the blanket, thinking that women were troublesome—waking late at night and fussing about, even blowing into his ear, it tickled.

Mu Yiting threw her blanket aside, then lifted Lin Nuo’s blanket and crawled in, resting against his back.

They’re already engaged; now that it’s a long night, doing something intimate isn’t out of the question, so what’s Lin Nuo resisting? He’d clearly agreed to take on the responsibility but was still hesitant.

This was a rare moment for her to share a bed with him. She heard that men only needed a little teasing to ignite desire within, making it a lively night for them both.

She began to gently touch Lin Nuo’s body with her hands and feet, coupled with breaths on his ears — he would definitely be ensnared. The bed would become their battlefield tonight.

However, he was an emotionless villain, writing in his autobiography “Basic Qualities of an Excellent Villain,” with a reminder to guard against women, accompanied by a maxim: “No women in the heart, draw the blade naturally godlike.” He wrote this to remind himself.

“Young Master, I think I should sleep in the guest room.”

Lin Nuo couldn’t handle her anymore; her soft, smooth hands and feet gliding over him were driving him crazy. How could he rest?

“Hey, what’s wrong? Don’t!”

Mu Yiting panicked, feeling pushed away as if he was ignoring her.

“No, I disturbed Young Master.”

“No, no, you didn’t disturb me… Alright, don’t go to the guest room; stay here. I won’t disturb you, really, I won’t.”

Lin Nuo turned his back to Mu Yiting coldly and covered himself with the blanket again.

“Fine.”

He continued lying on his side. Honestly, no bed in the guest room could compare to this comfort; he wouldn’t sleep well there anyway.

Mu Yiting could only pout in frustration; how could Lin Nuo ignore his fiancée sleeping beside him? That’s just inhumane.

Soon, Lin Nuo’s breathing became calm and rhythmic, as if he had already fallen asleep.

Meanwhile, Mu Yiting didn’t dare to make any small moves; after all, Lin Nuo was sensitive. If he caught her, he might actually go to the guest room.

Keeping the room empty wasn’t great either.

Lin Nuo was vigilant; he had the ability to put himself into a light sleep state, waking at any sound.

But this time, he fell into a deep sleep.
