So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

"For example, if I kiss you now, a deep and passionate kiss with your lover is the best way to relieve tension."

"...Sister Mo, your father-in-law might come out at any time. Wouldn't it be bad if he saw us doing this?"

Zhou You hesitated as he spoke, then took a few steps back, distancing himself from Ning Moxin who was getting closer and closer to him.

The relationship between Ning Chutang and Ning Moxin was so strained that Ning Chutang even went to him and asked him to leave Ning Moxin.

Ning Moxin kissed Ning Chutang right in front of him, and it was a deep, passionate kiss...

No matter how you look at it, it must have made him furious, right?

Wouldn't it be better if Father saw this?

A strange light flickered in Ning Mo's eyes. "Who knows what Father wants to do today? Maybe he wants to force you to leave me again."

Is Ning Chutang inviting Zhou You to her home a signal of goodwill?

Ning Moxin wouldn't be so naive. She knew better than anyone how stubborn her father was, and Ning Chutang would never change his mind easily.

She paused, her expression very serious, "We're using this method to tell him that our relationship is very good, so he won't think about breaking us up anymore."

"Sister Mo, I still don't think it's quite appropriate..."

"I think it's a good fit."

Ning Moxin raised a finger and pressed it against his lips to stop him from speaking. Her smile was very sincere. "Because I will not leave you. I want Father to understand this deeply."

She moved closer to Zhou You again, and simply stood on tiptoe to give him an unusually long kiss, not giving him any chance to speak.

Click~~

The security door was pushed open from the inside.

Ning Chutang stood behind the door, her face expressionless and devoid of any smile, watching the couple who were getting into the mood.

245. Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trivial matters.

The atmosphere became very still for a moment.

"Cough cough."

Ning Chutang waited patiently for a while, and seeing that the two of them, especially Ning Moxin, kissed even more earnestly and passionately after discovering his arrival, he couldn't help but cough heavily twice.

Slurp~~

His dissatisfaction had absolutely no effect on the two people who were being intimate.

"Cough cough." Seeing this, Ning Chutang coughed even more forcefully.

Ning Moxin simply hooked her arm around Zhou You's neck and changed her position, turning her back to Ning Chutang.

"..."

Ning Chutang's expression at this moment was indescribable.

He took a breath and asked in a calm voice, "Are you planning to just kiss this kid in front of me all day?"

Upon hearing his question, Ning Moxin took the initiative to separate from Zhou You. She bowed slightly to Ning Chutang, appearing elegant and poised.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Never mind... Come in, I have something to say. Qiyu has arrived."

Ning Chutang probably knew that getting angry wouldn't do any good, so she let the matter drop.

He turned around and walked into the house. Ning Moxin and Zhou You went into the house together. She first bent down to take off her own shoes, and then helped Zhou You change his shoes like a dutiful wife. She arranged them neatly and then pulled Zhou You to follow her father to the study.

In the study, Ning Qiyu sat alone on a solid wood chair, very quietly.

Ning Mengmeng had an important exam today, so Ning Qiyu didn't let her take the day off. Senior high school students should prioritize their studies.

When Ning Chutang returned with Ning Moxin and Zhou You, she turned her head and looked back and forth between Ning Moxin and Zhou You.

"sit."

Ning Chutang took the lead and sat down in the main seat. He then uttered a single word in a measured tone, which, combined with his expressionless face, naturally exuded a sense of authority.

Zhou You and Ning Moxin complied with his suggestion and each found a seat.

Before anyone else could ask, Ning Chutang spoke up, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable air characteristic of his style.

"Three conditions. If you cannot accept all of them, you must separate from Mo Xin immediately."

“Father!” Ning Moxin raised her voice slightly, “I have said before, please do not interfere in my love life anymore.”

Ning Moxin was very dissatisfied with her father's attitude that she should accept his arrangements for her marriage.

Ning Chutang ignored Ning Moxin and looked at Zhou You instead.

Zhou You pondered for a moment, then patted Ning Moxin's hand reassuringly.

"Sister Mo, let's hear what your father-in-law has to say first."

“Father-in-law?” Ning Chutang said without any politeness, “I’m not your father-in-law now.”

He paused, then began to speak on his own.

"The first condition, concerning your career, is that you must take my daughter's place and rise to a high position in the Ning family."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ning Qiyu's eyes as she listened in. Ning Chutang's words were essentially an invitation for Zhou You, an outsider, to assume a role similar to that of the 'head of the family'.

No wonder her father summoned her; as a direct descendant of the Ning family, she had the right to know.

“But I’m not in a hurry. We can wait until you graduate from university. Just promise me that you’ll follow my arrangements after graduation and not be like…” Ning Chutang glanced at Ning Moxin but didn’t finish his sentence, though the meaning was clear.

Zhou You frowned slightly after hearing this. Ning Chutang's first condition had both advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that with him helping you plan, your life won't be too bad.

The bad thing is that by treating you like a pawn, he completely stifles your other possibilities and deprives you of your 'freedom'.

"You're unwilling?" Perhaps Zhou You had been lost in thought for too long, Ning Chutang asked in a slightly cold voice.

"I……"

Zhou You glanced at Ning Moxin, who was about to stand up for him, and gently pressed her down.

For Teacher Ning's sake, this wasn't particularly unacceptable, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he asked a question.

"May I hear the remaining two conditions first?"

Ning Chutang looked at Zhou You quietly for a while, then continued, "The second condition is that your first child with Mo Xin must have the surname Ning."

"..."

This condition is actually much more excessive than the previous one.

Because Zhou You is an only child and Ning Moxin is not young, they will probably only have one child.

If Zhou You hadn't been in a special situation and agreed to Ning Chutang's condition, the Zhou family line would have ended.

"The third condition concerns Yun Mingyue and Chen Tangtang..."

Ning Chutang paused abruptly, raised her hand and waved, "You all go out first. I need to talk to Zhou You about this alone."

Ning Qiyu stood up, but Ning Moxin didn't move. She just looked at Zhou You and listened to him.

"Sister Mo," Zhou You thought for a moment, "I'll have a private chat with my father-in-law for a while, it's fine."

Upon hearing this, Ning Moxin nodded, but still earnestly instructed Zhou You, "Xiao You, you don't need to agree to any of my father's conditions. I am not his bargaining chip."

The two women left the study.

Looking at the young man her daughter had taken a liking to, Ning Chutang thought of the women around him, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

The reason he was willing to invite Zhou You to his home was partly because his daughter had made up her mind, and partly because of the many women around him who were interested in him.

Surrounded by those 'peach blossoms', the journey is, in a sense, also very valuable.

"Regarding Yun Mingyue and Chen Tangtang, I can give you a suggestion on how to handle the situation."

"I'd like to hear the details." Zhou You was genuinely curious about what Ning Chutang intended to say.

What's your suggestion? Didn't he want him to break up with his two other sisters?

Ning Chutang spoke without hesitation, and her words immediately caused Zhou You's expression to change.

"You can use them to obtain resources and help yourself get promoted."

"Since you can so easily fool and manipulate my daughters, I think it shouldn't be difficult for you."

Zhou You's face showed undisguised astonishment. He never expected that Ning Chutang would covet the wealth and power of Sister Hua and Sister Bing.

He took a deep breath, barely managing to calm himself. "You want me to use them?"

"What's the problem?" Ning Chutang remained unsmiling. "Anyway, you can still get along as usual. I just want you to ask them for some resources to help you get promoted faster."

Since Ning Moxin has already made up her mind to date her student, and even make her her lover, he might as well go with the flow and maximize his benefits.

If Ning Moxin can get what she wants, he can get what he wants too...

With the strong support of him, Yun Mingyue, and the Chen family, Zhou You might just become a truly top-tier figure.

The Ning family will also benefit from this and gain further opportunities.

Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trivial matters.

246. Don't keep trying to seduce Teacher Ning into committing a 'crime'.

Is Ning Chutang's idea wrong?

Zhou You didn't know, but he knew he didn't want to take advantage of the older sisters who cared for him so much, not at all.

At this point, he had to be thankful that he was someone who had a choice.

Because Sister Mo is a very independent older sister, not the kind of little girl who would be miserable if she left her father.

Therefore, although he hoped to gain Ning Chutang's genuine approval, he could actually completely ignore Ning Chutang's thoughts.

Ning Moxin would never leave Ning Chutang because of his thoughts.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree to your third condition." Zhou You said politely, but his voice was firm.
