Aromatic Flesh

Chapter 25.2: Step-Brother's Toy (2)



In fact, that was exactly what he viewed her as… Just someone with the same alluring and pretty face as the bitch that caused his mother’s death.

But though he viewed her as such, he had not revealed his true feelings to their parents. He had always worn the ‘kind and gentle elder brother’ mask when he was among others, easily keeping his reputation and trustworthiness in check.

He understood that his father took Mother Shen as his new wife because Father Shen needed a woman to take care of his household and his only son. Shen Rong could not determine how much actual love his father had for Mother Shen, but it was none of his concern because this new mother of his understood her position in this family.

She was somewhat pretty, but she would not go to great lengths to decorate herself like a peacock to attract and impress Father Shen. This was why, though Shen Rong hated his new stepmother for taking the title of Madam Shen, which belonged to his late mother, he had not taken any actions against Mother Shen.

But that was not the case for his new stepsister, who was so effortlessly pretty and charming. His hatred for her grew as weeks passed, together with the darkness within his heart.

And behind everybody’s back, when he was sure that no one would see, he would always flash her an extremely handsome smile as he mouthed silently – “Little Bitch.”

He would then grin in satisfaction when Gu MingYue’s facial expressions stiffened awkwardly.

Ever since she arrived at this household, Gu MingYue had tried everything she could think of to improve her relationships with the Shen Rong, but after crashing into the same wall1, she had no other choice but to admit that she was running out of ideas.

Her methods were unfavorable to this situation, as if everything she had done or tried were blocked by an invisible barrier. And as time passed, not only did the young man’s attitude towards her not change, it actually worsened further as his disgust towards her grew and grew.

He revealed the darker side of him unreservedly to the sister that he deemed a natural slut, who already knew how to please him, a man, at such a young age.

His stepsister was born a seductress, as she was very well versed in using her advantages to please another person.

She would definitely grow up to be a slutty fox spirit2, like the bitch who destroyed his family. He was sure of it.

This was why her actions disgusted him, and he would feel nauseous every time she tried to work her charms on him. He was beyond convinced that, though at such a young age, she was already a sly and cunning person.

On the other side, Gu MingYue’s confidence was heavily severed as she failed countless times trying to acquire his affections. She had no choice but to slow down on her plans, because in the two years since she arrived in this world, her relationship with Shen Rong had worsened to a state of pure hatred for each other.

No matter how worried she was about this world’s mission, she would not act rashly as it would only cause more problems to her. So for now, she would take action one step at a time, according to live situations.

Though, one thing for sure, the fact that Shen Rong was willing to reveal his hidden dark side towards her, meant that, to him, she was at least different from everyone else. Gu MingYue wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing, nor could she confirm if he was aware of this.

But no matter, at least in the two years that she had ‘wasted’, she still managed to secure a corner in his heart, no matter positive or negative…

In two years’ time, Shen Rong will meet the world’s heroine, and she would be the only person in this world to truly enter his heart…

Thankfully, this means I still have time. Gu MingYue comforted herself, not caring if she was in denial or whatnot.

But time waits for no one, and all a person could do was sigh as time slips through one’s fingers unnoticeably again.

Gu MingYue completed her Second Year’s finals and it was time for the summer holidays! Father Shen and Mother Shen had plans to travel around the world, and in this modern world, where traveling was extremely convenient, Gu MingYue accompanied her parents as they visited countries upon countries, experiencing different customs and ways of different ethnic groups.

This was a whole new experience for her, and it broadened her horizons and her knowledge of the world.

And of course, during the long summer trip, it was inevitable for the stepsiblings to interact with each other, and both of them secretly competed with each other with no intentions to lose.

Recently, Shen Rong realized that his naturally alluring sister had been maintaining a noble and inviolable expression for the past year. But though she had a calm and dignified demeanor, it did nothing to help quell her naturally coquettish and glamorous appearance, in fact, it was completely incompatible. It was giving others a sense of mystery, which would often arouse a man’s desire to conquer the said woman.

She had been extraordinarily calm recently towards his constant provocations, even more so when she was faced with unexpected situations, as if nothing could arouse her interest or catch her attention.

It was as if everything he did was nothing but childish and ridiculous.

Shen Rong hated this feeling of being ignored, but every time he realized that, deep inside, he wished that he could grab her attention, his face would suddenly change and he would scoff at his foolish thought.

In truth, it wasn’t that Gu MingYue didn’t care about his pranks and provocations, it was because she did not have a way to stop it, so the only thing she could do was to try to ignore it the best she could…

Translator’s Notes:
