Xu Mo found an ice pack.
Shen Manni anxiously stared at him, "Xu Mo, will it hurt a lot?"
Xu Mo replied like a silly goose.
"How would I know? I haven't sprained my ankle since I was little, but it might hurt a bit."
"The ice is very cold, you'll have to bear with it."
Hearing Xu Mo say this!
Shen Manni refused.
But the pain from her ankle made her struggle in agony.
Better a short pain than a long one.
After some thought, Shen Manni steeled herself and stretched out her slightly swollen ankle.
Her five plump, rounded toes curled inward adorably.
[These legs would be wasted not pedaling a tricycle]
Xu Mo unconsciously looked twice, as a beautiful woman's feet could be quite captivating.
He then pressed the ice pack against the swollen area.
"Hiss... Ah!! It hurts... hurts..."
Shen Manni drew in a sharp breath and pulled her ankle back as if shocked.
She really couldn't bear that initial pain.
Xu Mo looked helpless, "I told you the ice is very cold, just bear with it, it'll feel better soon."
Shen Manni shook her head like a rattle drum.
Her face full of rejection.
She wouldn't let him call an ambulance.
And now she wouldn't let him apply ice, it was really troublesome.
Xu Mo wanted to just throw the ice pack at her and let her do it herself.
Suddenly, Xu Mo had a good idea.
"Why don't you eat the noodles I made while icing your ankle?"
Shen Manni's eyes lit up, Xu Mo's noodles were truly delicious.
This way.
While enjoying the pleasure of good food, the pain would surely decrease.
Shen Manni contained her inner joy and nodded, "Let's do as you say."
What a little foodie.
Xu Mo secretly smiled.
It felt like coaxing a child.
Whatever works.
As long as it gets the job done efficiently.
Soon after.
Shen Manni held the bowl and chopsticks.
But her gaze kept falling on the ice pack in Xu Mo's hands.
"Stop looking, this is what I call the distraction technique."
"Focus your attention on the noodles, and soon you won't feel the pain."
Shen Manni nodded and started slurping the noodles.
Seeing her get into it, Xu Mo continued applying the ice pack.
Shen Manni's little foot trembled slightly.
"Mmm mmm mmm... it still hurts hurts hurts, you jerk Xu Mo!! You lied to me!! I hate you, you big liar!"
"Just endure it, it'll get better soon, focus on the noodles I made."
Shen Manni did as told with teary eyes.
The sound of noodle slurping grew louder and more urgent.
Slurp.. slurp.... gulp... sip.. sip.....
The noodles were too fragrant.
The delicious taste finally overcame the pain.
The next moment, Shen Manni couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.
"Xu Mo, you're really something, this method is quite magical and fresh, even a first-timer like me can feel its amazing effect."
"Does it still hurt now?"
"Not anymore, not anymore, and there's even a kind of pleasantly numb feeling, I guess this is what they call pleasure in pain."
"Hearing you say that, seems like my efforts weren't wasted."
Xu Mo smiled.
"Hmph, (・ω・) just giving you a little praise, look how smug you are, I've adapted now, you can press a bit harder," Shen Manni snorted lightly.
......
At the same time.
Shen's Mother had driven back to the Shen family villa.
The front door had a very smart facial recognition system.
One scan of the face and you could enter directly.
The living room was quite far from the entrance.
Neither Xu Mo nor Shen Manni noticed someone had come in.
Seeing the living room lights on.
Shen's Mother walked over, planning to greet her daughter.
As she was about to reach the living room.
She heard sounds coming from inside.
"Mmm mmm mmm... it still hurts hurts hurts, you jerk Xu Mo!! You lied to me!! I hate you, you big liar!"
"Just endure it, it'll get better soon, focus on the noodles I made."
Slurp... sip... sip.....
"Xu Mo, you're really something, this method is quite magical and fresh, even a first-timer like me can feel its amazing effect."
"Does it still hurt now?"
"Not anymore, not anymore, and there's even a kind of pleasantly numb feeling, I guess this is what they call pleasure in pain."
"Hearing you say that, seems like my efforts weren't wasted."
.....
"Hmph, (・ω・) just giving you a little praise, look how smug you are, I've adapted now, you can press a bit harder."
Hearing these suggestive words, Shen's Mother's face changed dramatically!
She blushed instantly.
This silly girl, was she deliberately trying to embarrass her?
Calling her back home late at night.
Then doing that kind of thing in the living room with some unknown boy.
They should at least go to the bedroom!
She couldn't understand young people's thinking, what on earth was going through their heads!
Too outrageous!!!
Shen's Mother vaguely heard Shen Manni call out 'Xu Mo'.
Her face showed an expression of shock.
Could there be another rich young man named Xu Mo in all of Magic City?
Her mind immediately went to.
The Xu Mo from the Xu family, their future heir, whom Shen Manni despised the most.
Regarding Xu Mo.
Shen's Mother had a very good impression of him.
He had brought many business deals to the Shen family.
In contrast, her daughter inexplicably rejected him completely.
Shen's Mother had previously thought about matchmaking the two.
But her daughter absolutely refused.
So she had given up!
But thinking about it now, it was terrifyingly suspicious!!
This was called dislike?
If she disliked him, why bring him home?
Shen's Mother listened for a while longer, her face burning red, then tiptoed back out of the villa.
Afraid of disturbing the two.
Shen's Mother moved very carefully and delicately.
Even when leaving.
She didn't take the car she had just driven back.
Instead, she walked step by step out of the villa complex.
Once outside.
Shen's Mother's face was crimson red, her heart racing!
Such a major event had occurred.
She hurriedly took out her phone to call Shen Cheng!
"Old Shen, your precious daughter has made it big!"
Shen Cheng had just finished showering at the hotel and came out looking confused.
"What are you talking about?"
Shen's Mother took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm her shocked heart.
So she just continued telling her husband.
"This silly girl called me to come home and rest!"
"Guess what she's doing? She's doing that kind of thing with some man in our living room!"
"What?!!" Shen Cheng stood up angrily.
His face and neck turned red with rage.
"Which family's brat is it? Or is it some random guy? I'll kill that son of a bitch."
Shen's Mother seemed very calm, saying with a smile.
"Don't get excited, Old Shen, it's good news! Good news!"
Shen Cheng was about to burst with anger, he had already started putting on his shoes, ready to rush back.
"Good news? I think you've lost your mind."
"It really is good news, that man is Xu Mo from the Xu Corporation." Shen's Mother revealed.
Hearing this.
Shen Cheng's movements stopped abruptly, his facial expressions changing repeatedly.
"How is that possible? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Regarding her husband's disbelief.
Shen's Mother's tone was full of complaint.
"It's true! That silly girl wants to play reveal-all with us!"
"Old Shen, let me tell you, when I got back to the villa and reached the living room. That girl was moaning and groaning, saying things like 'it doesn't hurt anymore' and 'the method works well' and such."
"Your daughter is too outrageous, just like you, you old fool!"
"You were so well-mannered when chasing after me, who knew you'd be so different after getting what you wanted."
Shen Cheng laughed heartily, Xu Mo's family was wealthy!
If Shen Manni could end up with Xu Mo.
Nothing could be better!
The hundreds of billions in losses would be nothing to the vast Xu business empire!
Not even worth mentioning.
"Oh my, wife, you're really misunderstanding me. Where are you now? You certainly can't stay at home, come to the hotel quickly." Shen Cheng was excited.
Shen's Mother's face was still flushed, "You shameless man! I didn't dare drive when I left, afraid of disturbing them, I'm outside the villa complex! Come pick me up quickly."
Shen Cheng was in such a good mood!
"Wife, wait for me! I'm coming to pick you up right now!"

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
