Han Xiao’s expression soured as if he had swallowed something foul. He threw two hundred-yuan bills onto the table and turned to leave.
What kind of mess was this? If he lingered for another second, the cashier would definitely call the police and have him arrested for indecency.
After delivering the items to the door of 803, he dialed Ling Yucheng’s number.
The call was answered and hung up after just one ring. He stood by the door, waiting patiently.
A moment later, the door opened.
“President, here are the things you asked for,” Han Xiao said respectfully as he saw the person approaching, bowing his head.
Ling Yucheng took the items and said, “You’ve worked hard. I’ll give you an extra ten percent bonus this month.”
Han Xiao’s eyes lit up, and all his negative emotions vanished.
Ever since the President found his wife, his salary had been skyrocketing!
He said gratefully, “Thank you, President. I will definitely…”
Before he could finish.
With a “bang,” the door slammed shut in front of him.
Xia Wantang had already fallen asleep. Ling Yucheng filled a hot water bottle and gently placed it on her abdomen. Fearing it might be too hot, he kept adjusting it.
He took care of her with utmost care. Seeing her sleeping soundly, he felt deeply content.
Throughout the night, Xia Wantang only felt a warm sensation in her abdomen, as if gentle sunlight was slowly enveloping her.
She felt completely at ease and experienced unprecedented comfort.
By the time she woke up, it was already broad daylight.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, falling onto the pink duvet, dazzlingly bright in the dimly lit room.
At that moment, she felt something slide from her abdomen.
Looking down, she saw a hot water bottle.
It was still emitting a faint warmth, and its fuzzy texture was very comfortable.
So, the warm feeling in her abdomen last night was because of this?
No, it was because of Ling Yucheng.
This was the most comfortable period she had ever experienced, so comfortable that she had almost forgotten about it.
Stepping out of the room, she found Ling Yucheng on the balcony, hanging out the bedding.
It was still early, only about six-thirty. Aunt Ou wouldn’t be back that soon; she would be out buying groceries at this time.
So, this stained bedding… had Ling Yucheng washed it?
When a man could do so much for you, what in life couldn’t be overcome?
At this moment, Xia Wantang felt like the happiest person in the world.
She ran forward and hugged Ling Yucheng’s waist from behind, pressing her face against his back.
“Yucheng, thank you.”
Ling Yucheng’s lips curved in pleasure, and he chuckled, “Then, when you’re feeling better, you’ll compensate me properly.”
He emphasized the word “compensate,” and Xia Wantang immediately understood his meaning.
Two blushes crept up her cheeks, and Xia Wantang quickly let go.
Why was this man always thinking about such things?
Ling Yucheng grabbed her hand, which was trying to escape, and slowly turned around, looking down at her with eyes full of tenderness.
“Wife, for being so good, can you help me out tonight?”
Xia Wantang struggled for a moment but couldn’t break free. She saw his handsome face drawing closer and was forced to close her eyes.
His cool lips lightly touched hers, and the kiss deepened. They were lost in each other, kissing passionately.
The sunlight on the balcony was just right, enveloping them in its warmth, their embrace deep and fervent.
“Slap.”
Aunt Ou opened the door and walked in, carrying several bags filled with fresh vegetables.
Her casual glance fell upon the couple embracing passionately on the balcony. Her old face flushed, and she quickly averted her gaze.
Her footsteps were extremely light as she hurried into the kitchen.
Young people had so much energy; they couldn’t wait even in the early morning. It seemed she would have to prepare some tonics for the young master from now on.
A long while later.
Xia Wantang’s body trembled slightly as she pushed Ling Yucheng away, panting.
Ling Yucheng’s eyes regained their clarity, but a lingering desire remained in his gaze as he looked at Xia Wantang.
If her body allowed it, he would have possessed her right there and then.
But according to the internet, women’s periods usually lasted seven days, and they should wait two or three days before intercourse.
This meant he couldn’t touch her for ten days every month.
With her period as protection, Xia Wantang wasn’t worried about Ling Yucheng doing anything.
It was just that it was so early in the morning, and she hadn’t even brushed her teeth yet. Did he not mind the smell?
“Young Master, Wantang, what would you like for breakfast?”
Aunt Ou’s sudden greeting startled Xia Wantang, making her almost lose her soul.
Ling Yucheng, however, calmly turned towards the sound, as if he had known Aunt Ou was there all along.
He instructed, “Tangtang is having her period. Keep the meals light.”
Xia Wantang was in a state of disarray, completely petrified.
Why would he mention such things so openly?
And when had Aunt Ou come in? Had she been there all along?
Did she see what just happened?
“Don’t worry, Young Master, I’ll make some brown sugar water later.”
Aunt Ou had gotten the picture. Her gaze swept over the bedding hanging on the balcony. No wonder it had been washed after only one night.
She then added, “I’ll wash the bedding for you. During this special time, you shouldn’t touch cold water, nor should you get tired.”
Xia Wantang lowered her head even further, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
She said softly, “I didn’t wash this.”
Aunt Ou didn’t quite understand at first. After a brief pause, she seemed to disbelieve it.
If she didn’t wash it, then… her gaze shifted to Ling Yucheng.
Her heart grew even more anxious. She said urgently, “These are all my responsibilities. Next time, please leave it to me, or I won’t be able to accept the Ling family’s salary with peace of mind.”
Ling Yucheng could only say, “I understand, Aunt Ou. It won’t happen again.”
Hearing him say that, Aunt Ou finally relaxed and turned to head into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
…
The Wen Family.
“I’m moving out. If you don’t agree, I won’t go to school anymore,” Wen Xuanyuan said, crossing her arms with great determination.
Her mother and father sat on either side of her.
Her mother tried to persuade her, “Xuanyuan, why do you suddenly want to move out? Aren’t you living comfortably here at home?”
“Exactly, we’re not at ease with you living alone as a young girl!” her father also expressed his opposition.
Wen Xuanyuan became even more angry. “What do you mean suddenly wanting to move out? I’ve said it before, but this time I’m resolute. If you don’t let me move out, I won’t go to class.”
“Be good, Xuanyuan. Don’t make a fuss, okay?” her mother pleaded earnestly. “No matter how good it is outside, it’s not as good as home. You’ll suffer sooner or later if you move out.”
“Your mother is right. As long as you don’t move out, I’ll agree to any other demands you have.”
Her father then took out his phone and immediately transferred a million yuan to Wen Xuanyuan.
“Go shopping, buy some clothes and bags. If it’s not enough, Dad will transfer more.”
“No, no, no!” Wen Xuanyuan stood up impatiently and said, “I’ll go on a hunger strike. If you don’t agree, I won’t eat.”
With that, she turned and went upstairs without looking back, locking herself in her room.
She sat on the bed, gasping for air in anger.
