Chapter 277: Despicable! Shameless! Vulgar!

Of course, as always, Meng Wange remained the composed and self-controlled Meng Wange.

The moment she heard the sound from Su Wanli’s stomach, she had already snapped back to her senses and forcibly suppressed that dangerous craving within her heart.

‘…Yes, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it’s not a perfect one.’

Gazing at Su Wanli, who still had her eyes tightly shut, Meng Wange took a deep breath.

‘I still haven’t solved any of my problems or overcome any difficulties.’

‘If I keep going in this hot-headed state, the outcome will definitely not be the one I hope for.’

‘Control yourself, suppress yourself, wait for the right moment, and then confess everything in your heart, Meng Wange.’

‘No matter how long it takes, that is the destination I will surely reach.’

‘But before that, I can still make use of this opportunity.’

‘…For example, to see Su Wanli’s true feelings deep inside.’

Meng Wange let out a soft breath, reining in her pounding heart.

She remained still in front of Su Wanli, waiting for the reaction that would come next.

As she had predicted, Su Wanli didn’t show any resistance to her touch.

There was no disgust in her expression.

Rather, she seemed… somewhat expectant?

‘…Thank goodness.’

‘That’s good.’

‘It’s not just my one-sided wish.’

‘Su Wanli might actually be looking forward to intimate contact with me.’

A genuine sense of relief settled in Meng Wange’s heart, and she was about to pull back.

But then… the black-haired girl in front of her seemed to actively lean closer toward her lips?

Realizing this, Meng Wange was slightly startled and instinctively pulled back.

‘Was that my imagination?’

No, it wasn’t.

After she dodged that advance, Su Wanli frowned gently, took a deep breath, parted her lips slightly, and moved even closer to Meng Wange.

In fact, if Meng Wange hadn’t withdrawn along with her movement, their lips would have already met.

So, was this what Su Wanli truly wanted?

Did she, deep down, harbor the same desire?

Should she feel grateful for that?

Or ashamed?

After all, she had never shown her true self in front of Su Wanli.

She had only relied on superficial disguises…

Before any deeper feelings could take root in Meng Wange’s heart, Su Wanli opened her eyes.

One second.

Three seconds.

Five seconds…

She stared blankly at Meng Wange’s lips.

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, the blush that had already tinged her earlobes spread rapidly across her entire cheeks.

“Th-that, Meng Wange, don’t misunderstand, I…”

“Pfft.”

No, this was wrong.

Faced with a shy Su Wanli, she should maintain her composure and politeness, helping to ease this awkward situation.

But…

How could she possibly hold it in?

“Pfft ha ha…”

With an uncontrollable surge of joy, the dangerous thoughts stirring in Meng Wange’s heart vanished without a trace, replaced by a strong sense of satisfaction.

‘…Good, that’s good.’

‘Very good.’

‘Su Wanli, just like me, wants to get close, to press our bodies together, and…’

‘…to leave her mark on my lips.’

“Pfft ha ha, hahahahahahaha——”

Meng Wange rarely got this happy.

No, not rarely.

This was the first time.

She was so delighted she couldn’t close her mouth, and even knowing that her reaction would only make Su Wanli angrier and more embarrassed, she simply couldn’t stop the corners of her lips from rising.

“…M-Meng Wange!!

What are you laughing at?!

Stop laughing already!!!”

“Cough… cough… S-sorry, Miss Su…”

Only when Su Wanli frantically grabbed her shoulders did Meng Wange finally catch her breath.

She lightly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, cleared her throat, and then bowed slightly to Su Wanli.

“It seems that before continuing your punishment, I need to take care of your hunger first.”

“None of your business!!

I’m not hungry!!

That was… that was you being hungry!!”

“Yes, sorry, I’m actually the one who’s hungry.”

Meng Wange smiled and nodded, then bent down to straighten the bedding on the bed before standing up lightly.

Her voice carried an indescribable lightness and gentleness.

“Miss Su, please rest in bed for a moment.

I’ll go downstairs and bring up the food from your car.

Please wait a little.”

“…Do whatever you want.”

Without even looking at her, Su Wanli turned her head to stare at the window and replied sullenly.

“Alright, I’ll be going now.

See you in a bit.”

Meng Wange’s fingertips lightly brushed over the back of Su Wanli’s head as if soothing a cat that was sulking from a distance.

Then she turned and walked straight out of the room.

Only after confirming that Meng Wange’s footsteps had completely faded away at the stairway did Su Wanli roll over on the bed and slam her forehead into the soft, fluffy pillow.

“…Uwaa, uwaaahhhh!!!!”

‘…So embarrassing!’

‘So incredibly embarrassing!!’

‘How did this happen?!’

‘The villainess image I worked so hard to maintain for the past ten days just fell apart in an instant!’

‘It was just a fake ambiguous atmosphere that Meng Wange casually created!’

‘And that meaningful smile of hers earlier—she definitely wanted to see this reaction from me, didn’t she?!’

‘And she laughed so loudly!’

‘Is it that funny to see me look foolish?!’

‘Vile!’

‘Shameless!’

‘Perverted!’

‘She used her own body as bait to make me unconsciously sink into that atmosphere, and I even almost offered up my first ki—’

Wait, hold on.

So, if my stomach hadn’t growled just now, what was Meng Wange planning to do?

At that distance, aside from kissing, there shouldn’t have been any other option, right?

Either way, I’ve already missed that chance.

Even if there were other options, I don’t have a way to test them now…

‘…Is there really no chance left?’

What if, before Meng Wange comes back upstairs, I repeat the previous steps and “kidnap” her again…

‘…Is there really no chance left?’

Su Wanli gritted her teeth and slapped her forehead hard.

‘Tch, what am I even thinking?!’

‘Look at my pitifully low Villainess Value!’

‘I still have to play the villainess step by step—at least get the Villainess Value up first and remove the debuff—’

‘…Huh?’

‘You’re saying I still had one bottle of Villainess Potion?’

Su Wanli viciously grabbed the White Dumpling out of her pocket and slammed it onto the floor.

“Then why didn’t you use it sooner?!

You should have used it before my Villainess Value dropped below eighty!!!”
