âDad insisted that I accompany him out to try on suits today and made me try on suit after suit. Grandpa came halfway through it and pretended to be angry that we didnât invite him. Even Chang Yuan is in on it now. Heâs doing his best to reduce my work schedule,â Shi Nian told Yun Nan.
In return, Yun Nan shared, âToday, Miss Anâs eye lit up when I gave her the embroidery pieces my mother had prepared for me and told her to prepare a similar set for Fang Xi based on them. Chang Yuan aside, they even dragged Grandpa Gu Bei and Grandma Chen Yao into this. Everyone knows about it, and only us two are kept in the dark, or so they think!â
Yun Nan and Shi Nian laughed. This novel feeling of being both the main character and a bystander was too fun. After theyâd finished laughing, Yun Nan remarked, â1 wonder if theyâve informed Shi Ke and Xiang Yang. Xiang Yangâs really amazing; her work won another international gold medal. I wonder if sheâll return early to join everyone in their madness for our wedding. â
âShe probably will. Big Brotherâs mission is confidential, so letâs not count on him to show up. There have been a lot of people protecting us in secret recently, so I reckon that, once again, his mission this time isnât simple. That guyâs risking his life out there. Iâm always on tenterhooks during such times and donât dare to tell my family,â Shi Nian replied, patting Yun Nanâs shoulder somewhat apologetically.
âI think about it sometimes. We can live so peacefully because of people like Big Brother who are protecting us with their lives. Donât worry, I know whatâs important. Itâs fine as long as Xiang Yang comes back. We can spend more time with her; I always feel that itâs quite hard on her to be alone so often. We can help Big Brother make up for leaving her on her lonesome by treating her better,â Yun Nan stated.
Shi Nian kissed her and sighed softly, âWhat more can a man ask for with a wife like you? Iâm really afraid that God will think that he has given me too much and take back some of it or give me more suffering!â
Yun Nan glared at him and chided, âDonât say that! Knock on wood! If you feel youâre too blessed, then do more good deeds, help others more, and spread
Godâs kind intentions. Why curse yourself like that?â
Shi Nian smiled and pulled Yun Nan into his arms, embracing her tightly. âOkay, alright. Iâll listen and do as you say! A manâs greatest happiness is marrying a good wife! And listening to his wife is the basic principle of a good man!â
Shi Nian then reached his hand into Yun Nanâs clothes and got Yun Nan panting. The curtains shielded and concealed the steamy scene from view.
Xi Cheng opened his eyes. His entire body felt sore, and his head felt heavy. However, he still recalled the spectacular dream from last night. He hadnât let loose and enjoyed himself like that for a long time.
âMmâ¦â A soft moan came from where the pillows were. Xi Cheng turned around and saw a familiar face.
âAh! Why are you here?â Xi Cheng sat up and stared at Gu Man in shock. His movement pulled the blanket, exposing a good portion of Gu Manâs body. She was naked, and bruises and kiss marks covered her fair skin. Xi Cheng instantly understood what had happened.
Gu Man curled up and tried her best to grab the blanket and wrap herself in it. Her tears flowed before she even said anything. âXi Cheng, donât you remember? Youâyou were in a bad mood yesterday, so I drank with you.â
Gu Man reached up to wipe away her tears, revealing her creamy breasts, and uttered sadly, âItâs alright. Itâs fine if you donât remember. Itâs okay so long as I remember. Itâs my fault. Xi Cheng, I know you and Lin Yu are already married.
You canât do anything that will ruin your marriage. Itâs fine. Forget about this.
Nothing happened between us.â
Gu Man covered her mouth, trying to suppress her sobs, and the blanket slid down. Xi Chengâs gaze couldnât move away from her even if he wanted to, and his body heated up.
Xi Cheng reached out to hold Gu Manâs hand. âDonât cry. Iâm sorry, Gu Man. Iâm sorry.â
Gu Man took the opportunity to throw herself into his arms, crying, âXi
Chengâ¦â
With a warm and soft beauty in his arms, the fire in Xi Chengâs core abruptly ignited. He couldnât suppress the desire raging through him, even though he Imew this was Gu Man. âNo man can be the perfect gentleman in such a situation, and Iâm not a saint!â Just as that thought flashed through Xi Chengâs mind, he was already pressing down on Gu Man. Itâd been a long time since heâd had such a good time.
When the nurse came in to change the patientâs dressing, Lin Yu was carefully helping Han Yuan cut her nails. She smiled at the nurse and thanked her for her hard work. All the medical staff had a good impression of this young Madam Xi, so the nurse hurriedly said, âYouâre the one whoâs working hard. You can call a nurse to do things like cut nails and so on. You should take care of yourself and get more rest.â
Lin Yu sighed, âI canât stop worrying so long as my mother remains unconscious.. How can I be in the mood to rest?â
