Chapter 387: Taking Advantage
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The old bachelor in his thirties was called Chen Chuangen. His youth was spent in poverty, which made finding a wife untenable – a situation made worse by the need to feed and clothe his many younger brothers.
Years later, with his life back on track, Chen Chuangen was too old for the village girls who wanted younger men for husbands. Widowers or divorcees were his only options. However, such people were rare. Everything was made worse by Chen Chuangen’s bad reputation. Not even matchmakers could convince women to put up with him, and they would sooner go unmarried than marry him.
Being the sort of man he was, in the particular situation he found himself in, Chen Chuangen had all but given up on finding himself a suitable match. All he could do was watch those younger than him marry and have children, some of whom already have children in school! Widowers did not like him, divorcees shunned him, and the village’s young women looked down on him. It was not fair!
It fed into his lecherous habits, the way he ogled married women and young girls as if he wanted to take advantage of them, and it did him no favors. His breathing grew labored upon hearing Wu Lili’s words, sounding in short gasps. He did not hesitate, fearing someone else would snatch his opportunity. Puckering his lips, he pressed them against Sun Yunyun, kissing her with great familiarity.
No one could bear the awful sight the two of them made, and they quickly averted their eyes, hoping he would get on with it. They thought it wise to stop him at one point but eventually set the idea aside. He was trying to save Sun Yunyun, after all. No one wanted Sun Yunyun’s death on their heads.
On the contrary, those present actively told themselves that he was doing good, regardless of his intentions.
“No!” Seeing her cousin being taken advantage of by the old bachelor, Sun Xiaocao cried, tears streaming down her face. She tried to intervene, but Wu Lili stopped her, pulling her back.
“Are you trying to get her killed? What do you hope to achieve?” Wu Lili scolded sternly. “Chen Chuangen is doing his best to save your cousin; don’t look the gift horse in the mouth.”
Unlike Sun Yunyun, Sun Xiacao was a pure, innocent little girl who had not learned the foul tricks of her cousin. Wu Lili’s reprimand left her dumbfounded, and she apologized amid her tears. “I’m sorry, I was wrong. Saving people is more important.”
Meanwhile, the old bachelor continued having his way with Sun Yunyun, kissing and biting her lips till they were swollen and bloodied. Other than Wu Lili, who continued watching with great interest, everyone else had turned away, red-faced and embarrassed.
Several men grew envious of Chen Chuangen’s good fortune. Sun Yunyun was like a flower, and many young men hoped to snag her for themselves. Someone would have proposed to her long ago if it weren’t for the Sun family’s plans for Sun Yunyun and her goal to enter university.
While some were envious of Chen Chuangen, others were secretly gleeful.
The Sun family looked down on their neighbors, always going on about how Sun Yunyun would marry someone from the city. Whoever dared to ask for Sun Yunyun’s hand in marriage was asking to be humiliated by them. It was no secret that Zhu Yueju had chased away several suitors in the past for this specific reason.
This was the Sun family’s comeuppance: to be married to a wretched old bachelor.
“Argh…” Sun Yunyun felt her body’s inner temperature rise. She felt as if she were in the throes of a sensual dream. Since Su Wen stole her pendant, she had never dreamed of such wonderful dreams , and Hengyang no longer featured in any of them.
Now, she was finally dreaming again, experiencing sensations she had never felt before.
To her pleasant surprise, Sun Yunyun dreamt of Hengyang kissing her. In the past, before Su Wen had stolen her pendant, she used to dream of Hengyang similarly, but not once had they been so close as to be able to feel each other, let alone engage in any form of intimacy. In her semi-conscious haze, Sun Yunyun responded, pressing into those lips hungrily..
