Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1535 - 1524: Upright Gentleman

"Ziyun, you should explain, what's going on here?"Among these eight people, Ziyun seemed to be the leader, so Ning Fan asking her was the best choice.

"This servant..."

"Hurry and speak."

"We wanted to serve you tonight."

By the end, Ziyun's voice was almost inaudible, her pretty face flushed with red like blood.

"Cough...cough..."

Ning Fan almost choked on her powerful words, couldn't help but ask, "Is this a custom you learned?"

In some ancient families, there indeed was such a custom, but Ning Fan had only heard of it and never imagined it would happen to him.

"No... it's not. We just wanted to repay Young Ning for saving our lives."

Ning Fan waved his hand and said, "No need. Just live well, and that will be the biggest repayment for me."

"Mm!"

Ziyun nodded and fell silent again.

"It's getting late. You all should rest early."

At this moment, Ziyun suddenly asked, "Young Ning, is it because you despise our lowly status and that we are not pure?"

"Don't overthink it. I don't need you to use your bodies to repay me."

Alright! Ning Fan admitted he did have a bit of a physiological cleanliness obsession, but he couldn't say it outright.

These beautiful maidservants, working hard like slaves in the Hu Family—he couldn't believe that nothing had happened.

"Actually, we are all pure."

If it weren't for Ning Fan's sharp hearing, he might have missed it.

"Really?"

Ning Fan instinctively blurted out, then quickly said, "Sorry, that's not what I meant. What I mean is..."

Not knowing how to explain, Ning Fan had to shut his mouth, maintaining an awkward expression.

Ziyun dispelled the awkwardness by explaining, "Young Ning. The Hu Family hasn't touched us."

Ning Fan swiftly followed up with, "Each of you is incredibly beautiful and charming, even I am moved. Could it be all Hu Family men are eunuchs?"

All the women joyfully asked, "Young Ning, do you really think we are beautiful?"

"Of course! You are top-class beauties."

Ning Fan wasn't just saying this to comfort them.

Using Ning Fan's discerning eye, these eight women were indeed exceedingly beautiful and youthful.

"Young Ning, didn't you say you were moved? Why not let us serve you tonight?"

Hearing the slightly complaining tone, Ning Fan turned his gaze to Cai'er, secretly pondering, "This little girl, you're small but bold, one day I'll definitely get you."

"Ziyun, what did you mean by that?"

"Young Ning, it's like this."

After listening to Ziyun's explanation of the situation, Ning Fan's face turned a bit strange.

He hadn't expected that besides boasting, the Hu Family could be so self-important.

In the Hu Family, being a servant meant not even having control over one's own body, not to mention life.

Given such stunning looks, the Hu Family men didn't even touch the meat at their mouths, which certainly wasn't because of some saying about not eating grass by the nest.

It was the Hu Family's rules forbidding the male members from having relations with maidservants.

One reason was for cultivation.

Alcohol is poison running through the intestines, lust is a knife scraping bones.

In the Hu Family's view, such indulgence damages the body's vital energy and affects one's foundation.

Thus, the Hu Family was a highly abstinent clan, preferring to cultivate energy except when it comes to procreation.

The second reason was to maintain pure bloodlines.

The Hu Family, being of the Miao ethnicity, only intermarried with Miao people, and to prevent bloodline issues, the family strictly enforced this rule with no exceptions allowed.

These two rules maintained whatever little dignity these maidservants had.

Young people, after all, are filled with passion, especially when faced with these beautiful maidservants, the fire of desire is kindled.

They held the power of life and death over these maidservants; forcing themselves on them would be as simple as eating or drinking.

If such things happened, the maidservants could report to the Hu Family Elders to protect their bodies.

On this matter, the Hu Family Elders were very attentive and handled it fairly.

But the premise was that the maidservant did not make a mistake.

There were Hu Family members who seduced maidservants, resulting in consensual relationships.

For maidservants daring to defile the Hu Family bloodline, the Hu Family's stance was always execution without mercy.

The sister mentioned by Cai'er, Sister Ping, was such a victim.

Seduced by a Hu Family member, she gave herself to him, only to meet a tragic end when the affair was exposed.

The Hu Family was never strict with their descendants; they only believed the descendant was seduced.

The maidservants lived in a quadrangular courtyard which was always under the watch of the Elders.

Plus, the Hu Family's younger generation, wandering with unsteady hearts, spent their days in practice and study, with no time for dalliance.

Therefore, enforcement was basically impossible.

So long as these maidservants didn't consent, no one could do anything against them on this point.

Consequently, these maidservants, whose lives were beyond their control, retained their last shred of dignity—chastity.

After listening to the whole reason, Ning Fan still didn't fully understand.

Soon, his confusion was explained.

"I heard the Hu Family previously planned to disfigure all the maidservants, but for some reason, the idea suddenly went no further."

"That's about right."

Ning Fan nodded secretly.

Though it was cruel, disfigurement was the best way to cut off the young men's physiological impulses entirely.

As to why the Hu Family was so "generous,"

Ning Fan found it easy to understand.

Good things, after all, are pleasing to the eye and soothing to the soul.

Any family surely wouldn't want to face disfigured servants.

The large Hu Family, aside from cultivation, relied entirely on maidservants for food, clothing, shelter, and transport.

To the Hu Family, these maidservants were the best logistical support.

Women care most about their appearance.

Exaggerating slightly, some women would rather die than accept disfigurement.

But one thing is certain: after disfigurement, they would be utterly demotivated.

Of course, the full truth of the matter was lost to time.

But for these troubled maidservants, the Hu Family's rule provided the last bit of solace.

"In that case, didn't I miss a great chance?"

The eight women came to serve him voluntarily, and thinking about having rejected them, Ning Fan felt a twinge of regret.

"Nothing to regret."

Ning Fan couldn't help but shake his head. Out of sympathy for the eight women, even if he had known earlier, he would still refuse.

A man can be romantic but not indecent.

No matter if it's by drugging, force, or deception, it's all considered indecent.

Ning Fan wanted genuine willingness, not temporary gratitude.

"Once you calm down for a few days, if you're still 'unrepentant,' I really won't be polite."

Ning Fan chuckled to himself, but maintained a serious expression and said, "That's a blessing in disguise."

"Indeed!"

Ziyun softly murmured, gazing at Ning Fan with eyes like autumn waters, bashfully asking, "Young Ning, then we..."

Seeing the eager expressions of the women, Ning Fan couldn't help but feel tempted.
