At that time, Lu Jiaojiao was given by Su Ruoyun to Jiang Chenghai, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Household, as a concubine.

Jiang Chenghai was already in his fifties, older than Old Man Lu, but he was extremely fond of beauty.

In his backyard, he had already taken dozens of beautiful concubines, yet he was still not satisfied.

By the time Jiang Chenghai had reached this age, his abilities in that aspect were naturally not as good, but he was particularly persistent in his desires.

Many of his concubines had died in bed, countless in number, but he still showed no restraint.

His three sons were even more depraved than he was.

However, with his father, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Household, backing them, no one in the capital dared to trouble them.

Among Jiang Chenghai’s three sons, the third son was the most unruly and the boldest.

He had been involved with more than half of the concubines in Jiang Chenghai’s harem.

Although Lu Jiaojiao couldn’t be considered exceptionally beautiful, she was particularly delicate, especially her pair of shy and timid eyes, which looked like a frightened little deer, making her especially alluring.

Therefore, on the first day she entered the manor, she was targeted by Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chenghai was also greatly tempted by this new concubine.

On the first day she arrived, he wanted to indulge her, but unfortunately, he was called away by his wife, so he couldn’t enjoy her that day.

What Jiang Chenghai didn’t know was that, as soon as he left, Jiang Chao snuck into Lu Jiaojiao’s room.

Lu Jiaojiao was cleaned up and wrapped up like a cocoon, lying helplessly on the bed, unable to move. When Jiang Chao entered, she was startled.

She had never seen Jiang Chenghai and didn’t know she had been sent to him.

She thought Jiang Chao was the one who had been sent to her, so when she saw him, she panicked.

However, since she was unable to move and her mouth was blocked, she wanted to struggle but was afraid that the bedclothes would come undone, revealing her naked body.

Jiang Chao saw the beauty’s eyes filled with tears, looking at him, and immediately felt a pang of pity.

He swiftly removed the object blocking her mouth and, in a somewhat urgent tone, spoke.

“Don’t cry, little beauty, I haven’t even bullied you yet. There will be plenty of time for you to cry later,” Jiang Chao said with a smirk, his eyes full of possessiveness.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen women cry before; he had encountered many at Tianxian Building, and every one of them had served him well.

But this was the first time he had encountered a woman who started crying before he even touched her.

She looked at him with teary eyes, her lips trembling.

Before she could even speak, she appeared to be deeply wronged.

Jiang Chao walked over and lifted her up in his arms. “Little beauty, serve me well, and from now on, I’ll protect you.”

Following him is definitely better than being tainted by that old man. He thinks of himself as charming and elegant, but he’s much better than that old man.

“Please, let me go. Wuwu, don’t come any closer.”

Jiang Chao just got closer to her, and she was so scared that she tried to retreat everytime.

But how could Jiang Chao let her off so easily?

He directly placed a light peck on the corner of her lips, a kiss as fleeting as a dragonfly touching the water, but it only made Lu Jiaojiao cry even harder.

This was the first time Jiang Chao had encountered such a crying little girl.

It was rare for him to be patient, so he comforted her gently, “Don’t cry, once you enter the Jiang family, you can’t escape. Be good and listen to me, maybe I’ll treat you a bit better. Otherwise… I’ll just hand you over to the old man to enjoy.”

Jiang Chao had only spoken the truth, but it really frightened Lu Jiaojiao.

She pouted, choking on her sobs, too scared to make a sound.

Tears swirled in her eyes, yet she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Her pitiful appearance made Jiang Chao feel an unbearable itch in his heart.

Perhaps truly worried that Jiang Chao would hand her over to the old man to be mistreated, Lu Jiaojiao no longer dared to cry.

She simply stared at Jiang Chao with her large, tear-filled eyes.

Jiang Chao was a playboy, how could he resist such temptation?

He immediately stripped her naked and pressed her under him.

Lu Jiaojiao struggled and cried, her tears bursting like a dam, sobbing.

Jiang Chao was annoyed and kissed her lips directly.

The girl was fragrant and soft, like a peeled egg.

It was the first time that Jiang Chao met such a fascinated girl, so he couldn’t help but feel pity for her.

The little girl had her lips sealed, her body trembling slightly, until Jiang Chao noticed that she couldn’t breathe properly, almost fainting from the kiss. Only then did he release her.

“Little thing, can’t even kiss properly?”

Jiang Chao gently pinched her chin, his eyes full of desire.

Lu Jiaojiao’s eyes were reddened at the corners, her lips a deep, almost dripping red.

The broken, battered look of someone who had been mistreated only made Jiang Chao lose control.

“Please, let me go,” She begged tremblingly.

Although Jiang Chao couldn’t wait to possess her, for the first time he wanted her to be willing, rather than possessing her physically.

“Then if you kiss me obediently, I will let you go today.” Jiang Chao’s big hands gently slid from her back to her waist, as if stroking the finest silk.

Finally, the hand holding her slender waist suddenly tightened.

Lu Jiaojiao pressed against his chest, but did not dare to move too far away, because she was naked at the moment.

“You…really going to let me go?” Lu Jiaojiao couldn’t believe it, but still looked at him with hope in her eyes.

Jiang Chao nodded, with a sly smile on his face, “Just like I kissed you just now, if I am satisfied with your kiss, I will let you go today. I will keep my word.”

Although Lu Jiaojiao was afraid, she was more afraid that Jiang Chao would really do something to her.

She tightly grasped the bed sheet that had fallen to her waist, trying to cover her body.

The big hand that stayed on her waist was like a branding iron, burning her whole body and making her tremble.

He sat on the bed, and she half-knelt in front of him, with his arms tightly around her slender waist. She raised her head carefully and kissed the slightly raised thin lips.

The young girl’s awkward and clumsy movements made Jiang Chao feel hot all over.

This girl was not just a young and innocent girl, she was simply a little demon who wanted to kill him. It was the first time that Jiang Chao wanted to possess a girl so strongly.

However, he wanted her heart more than her body.

He put one hand on her waist and the other hand on the back of her neck, turning the passive into active, guiding the young girl with awkward kissing skills to go deeper step by step, until the girl was out of breath, Jiang Chao was willing to let her go.

However, Jiang Chao was also trustworthy.

That day, he did not touch her, but told her before leaving that his name was Jiang Chao.

Lu Jiaojiao thought she had narrowly escaped a calamity, but little did she know that the person in question was not the one she was supposed to marry.

The next day, Jiang Chenghai drunkenly entered Lu Jiaojiao’s room.

Startled, Lu Jiaojiao screamed. Jiang Chenghai, not expecting such a strong reaction from her upon seeing him, froze for a moment.

Once he recovered, he quickly began undressing himself.

“Beauty, why aren’t you coming over to help your master change?”

Jiang Chenghai was always firm in his commands within the manor. Though he showed some patience with this new concubine, he couldn’t afford to be too lenient.

“Who are you? I don’t know you. Get out!”

Lu Jiaojiao was so frightened that she retreated to the edge of the bed.

Fortunately, she was dressed today, so compared to the situation yesterday, it was much better.

Jiang Chenghai glanced at Lu Jiaojiao before walking toward her. “Little beauty, I don’t have much patience. You’d better behave, or you’ll suffer some physical punishment.”
