"Can't I come?!"

Lin Yanwan was slightly angry. This was her husband's family home, and she had finally come back for a visit. How could you not welcome her?

"Hey, don't listen to his nonsense. Yan Wan can come whenever she wants and stay as long as she wants." Xia Shanshan quickly stepped in to smooth things over, and glared at Jiang Xia fiercely.

"I mean, this is a bit unexpected..." Jiang Xia scratched his head, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ignored him and continued talking to each other.

“Yanwan, these shoes of yours, though not new, are clean.”

"Yes, thank you, Auntie." Lin Yanwan blushed slightly, and slowly took off her sandals while holding onto the door frame, revealing her delicate and fair feet.

"Hmm, it seems there aren't any shoes suitable for Xiaoman. Well, Xiaoman doesn't need to take them off. She can just wear them into the house. It's fine, since we haven't swept the floor for several days anyway."

"Teacher Xia, I'll just go barefoot," Xiaoman said.

Xia Shanshan shook her head with a smile: "No, you'll catch a cold if you go barefoot, especially children. You know, cold starts from the feet."

"Oh! Xiaoman understands!"

Lin Xiaoman nodded emphatically, then dashed into the house, hugged Jiang Xia's leg, and rubbed her face against him, saying, "Brother Jiang Xia, I've come to see you~"

"Thank you, Xiaoman, for coming to see me. I'm so happy." Jiang Xia patted his sister-in-law's head.

Lin Yanwan walked into the house and looked around at the living room furnishings, as memories of the past slowly welled up in her mind.

In their past life, in order to help Jiang Xia pay off his debts, this house was eventually sold at a discount. From then on, their parents lived frugally, making a living by renting.

She sighed softly. Fortunately, in this life, the elderly couple could finally enjoy their retirement.

Xia Shanshan noticed her daughter-in-law's expression. The emotions in her eyes were very complicated, as if she had a strong feeling for this family, and she always gave Xia Shanshan the illusion that she was very familiar with this family.

Isn't this her first time visiting our home?

That's very strange.

"Okay, you guys play first. I'm going out to buy some groceries. Yanwan, we'll eat at Auntie's tonight. You can try my cooking." Xia Shanshan took a sip of water and chuckled.

"Sister, I also want to eat Teacher Xia's cooking. Mom's cooking hasn't been as good as it used to be lately," Xiaoman said, shaking her hand with longing eyes.

Lin Yanwan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, lingered on Jiang Xia's face for two seconds, and then nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Auntie."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."

The door slowly closed, leaving only the couple and the sister-in-law in the room.

"Brother-in-law, my stomach hurts a little, I need to go to the toilet," Xiaoman suddenly said, clutching her stomach.

Lin Yanwan raised an eyebrow: "Did you eat something cold at school again?"

"No, Xiaoman only ate one popsicle." She stuck out her tongue cutely, trying to get away with it.

"Well, I still ate it."

Jiang Xia chuckled: "You can't eat too many popsicles, or you'll get diarrhea, got it?"

"Got it!" Lin Xiaoman sniffed.

"You little rascal, will you do it again next time?" Jiang Xia pinched his sister-in-law's cheek. "Come on, your brother-in-law will take you to the toilet. See the toilet paper on your right?"

"Okay! Brother-in-law, go out and keep my sister company! She's been missing you a lot these past few days," the sister-in-law said in a low voice.

"Xiaoman, you're great! You'll get to watch the latest episode of Tom and Jerry as a reward later."

The two exchanged knowing glances, as if they had made some kind of secret deal.

After finally settling his sister-in-law in, Jiang Xia finally had the chance to hold his wife's hand.

"Baby, what brings you here?"

"Hmph, you don't want me to come? Then I'll take Xiaoman away right now." She said, pulling her hand away as if to leave.

"Oh, no way! I'm overjoyed! I'm just a little curious."

Jiang Xia quickly hugged her, and Lin Yanwan only struggled symbolically for a few moments before gently leaning against him, closing her eyes and inhaling his scent.

“I went to pick Xiaoman up from school, and she said she wanted to come see you, so my mom dragged us both over,” she said.

"You really didn't miss me?" Jiang Xia smiled and playfully lifted his wife's chin.

If she didn't want to, she had countless reasons to refuse her mother's invitation.

"Even if you don't come to see me for almost a week, I'll still eat well and sleep soundly. Why would I miss you?" Lin Yanwan hummed softly.

Jiang Xia heard the resentment in her tone and hugged her tighter: "I'm just in a hurry. If I were by your side every day, I would spend all my time visiting you, and the updates would probably be delayed indefinitely."

"So fake," she said.

"Really, now that you're here, my heart is completely focused on you. I can't concentrate on anything else." Jiang Xia kissed his wife on the cheek and leaned in to kiss her lips, but she dodged him.

"You're holding me, and you're thinking about something else?"

"Uh... does something risqué count?"

Her face flushed red: "You pervert!"

Lin Yanwan broke free from his embrace and sighed softly, "I must never let Mom and Dad suffer in this lifetime."

“I think you’re referring not only to your in-laws, but also to your parents-in-law.” Jiang Xia smiled slightly. “Don’t worry, since God chose us to come back, it’s so that we can repay His kindness.”

When he mentioned his parents, Lin Yanwan suddenly felt happy.

"Um!"

"Would you like to come and see my room?"

"What's so interesting about your room..." Despite saying that, she was still half-heartedly pulled inside by Jiang Xia, who then closed the door.

"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, Mom and Dad will be back soon, and Xiaoman is outside too." She was pinned against the door by Jiang Xia, her heart pounding.

Jiang Xia tilted his head and chuckled, "Can I take that as you wanting me to hurry up? Ideally, finish the fight within three minutes?"

Lin Yanwan wasn't some naive young girl, so of course she knew what this guy meant.

But three minutes is so short, not even enough time to take off her clothes. Besides, every time this guy makes love, he makes her completely exhausted before he's satisfied.

Three minutes?

Thirty minutes isn't enough!

Thinking of certain past scenes, her face flushed with embarrassment. She pushed him away forcefully and said angrily, "I'm going to tell Mom that you were being a pervert to me in a little while. Let's see if she beats you up or not."

Jiang Xia was dumbfounded.

"You're ruthless."

"Hmph, Comrade Jiang Xia, I've told you before, I'm not some naive little girl these days. You think you can trick me with sweet words and get my body? Dream on." She grabbed the cartilage and squeezed it hard, then quickly let go before getting angry and swelling up again.

Jiang Xia gasped a few times; he was truly being thoroughly manipulated this time.

He looked embarrassed and said, "I was just saying, baby, please don't take it seriously."

Lin Yanwan walked to his desk, picked up the scissors, snipped a couple of times, and then suddenly said with a smile.

"No matter how much nonsense you think, darling, from now on we'll call each other sisters."

(good evening)
