The woman whose cheek he pinched turned visibly red, her fair face flushed, and her misty eyes moved around shyly and timidly, not daring to look him in the eye.

She's so adorable. If she had been like this from the beginning, without using those despicable and coquettish tactics, he might have taken the bait long ago.

Xiao Yunyu's burning gaze fell on her cherry-red lips. His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and a low, hoarse laugh shook from his chest: "Who was there laughing at the book just now? Wasn't it you?"

He called her in a long, teasing tone, with a hint of mischievous amusement: "Yun Qiuwu...be honest!"

Thinking of the cute little white flower persona she wanted to establish, Li Nian resisted the urge to pounce on him and pulled away his big, broad hand.

She took two steps back, turned around and climbed onto the couch, mumbling, "Forget it, I don't want it. Since my husband wants to see it, I'll give it to you."

Xiao Yunyu uttered a soft "tsk" and said leisurely, "I won't read this kind of thing, and neither can you." He casually stuffed the book into the drawer and said, "I've confiscated it."

Li Nian, who was lying on the couch with her face buried in the pillow, heard his movement and raised her head slightly to glance at the drawer.

It’s almost the end!

She just didn't believe that Xiao Yunyu would come back every day to stare at her? When he wasn't at home, she would watch!

The morning light is dim, the golden light of the morning glow fills the whole world, and the cool breeze brings the fragrance of lotus flowers.

Li Nian got used to sleeping in a big bed a few days ago, but last night she rolled over and over in her small bed out of habit, waking up several times and almost falling off the couch.

After washing up, she went to Li Sisi's yard and called her to go pay her respects to her mother-in-law together.

The temperature at this time is the most comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold, just right.

It seemed like a light rain fell late last night. Water droplets were still hanging on the broad green lotus leaves. The summer breeze blew, filling my nose with the fragrance of lotus flowers, accompanied by the picture of water droplets jumping and dancing on the lotus leaves.

"Hmm——" Li Nian stretched comfortably facing the lotus pond, feeling comfortable!

Xiao Yunyu looked at the petite woman stretching her short arms like a cat, her wide sleeves naturally sliding down with the movement, revealing her delicate and fair arms.

The fingers are short and slender, spread out like a kitten's claws, not sharp but extremely cute.

He curled his fingers that hung at his sides, and a wave of evil thoughts arose in his heart again.

The corners of his lips curved up, and he slowly put his lips close to her ear, and deliberately lowered his voice, sounding both naughty and lustful: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Li Nian was startled by his sudden voice, her body stiffened slightly for a moment, then she looked back confusedly, blinked, and asked doubtfully, "Is my husband still not out?"

The woman opened her almond-shaped eyes, like a cat that was suddenly disturbed. After being startled, she realized that it was her owner and relaxed her vigilance, meowing obediently twice.

Xiao Yunyu lowered his eyes to take in her expression. She had naturally affectionate peach blossom eyes with slightly curved corners, and her low, magnetic voice was so pleasant that it was almost unfair.

"Do you really want me to go out so that you can go back and secretly read last night's book?" Unfortunately, what he said was not pleasant at all!

Li Nian's heart choked, and she really wanted to roll her eyes at him and turn away.

But thinking of the life-extending task assigned by the system, she had to maintain her image as a little white flower.

Have you thought about what to do?

Then she turned half of her face away in grievance, pouted, and said softly, "What are you talking about, my husband? I'm that kind of person!"

Xiao Yunyu narrowed his eyes and said "tsk". This damn noise was both fake and cute.

He lowered his eyes to look at her, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and reached out to pinch the softness of her cheek, the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably: "Is it true? Don't you know it yourself?"

His grip wasn't very strong, so my cheek didn't feel any pain, but it was really annoying to have my face pinched again and again!

If it weren't for the system constantly reporting the increased lifespan value, she would really be... so annoyed. She couldn't even beat him!

Li Nian blinked, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness: "Husband, if you don't let me go, I'm going to miss the time to pay my respects to my mother-in-law."

After hearing this, Xiao Yunyu finally let go and said in a gracious manner, "Well, go ahead."

Li Nian rubbed the numb side of his face and couldn't help muttering in his heart: What's wrong with this person? If he can, he should kiss him! Pinching his face is useless. One second only adds one day of health!

But her face was full of smiles and a soft look: "Then my husband, I will go first!"

After saying this, he turned and left without a trace of nostalgia.

Xiao Yunyu watched her running fast with her short legs, and the hairpin on her head swayed with her movements, just like his thoughts at the moment.

On the one hand, he was annoyed that he had actually been bewitched by her seductive tricks, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but be tempted by her again and again.

Even before they got married, he still hated her very much.

Now, in just a few days, he has been seduced and wants to surrender.

Xiao Yunyu put his hands on his hips, looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond, feeling conflicted, annoyed and irritated.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have let her get close!

She was just a bastard girl who cared more about status and position, and she didn't really like him at all!

Xiao Yunyu stood by the lotus pond for a long time and finally figured himself out.

Finally, I came to the conclusion that this woman was a seductive demon. I must not get close to her again! I must not let her get what she wanted!

————

Li Nian trotted all the way to find Li Sisi. If she didn't hurry up, she would be late for paying her respects and would be punished by her mother-in-law to copy "Female Virtues" and "Female Precepts"!

The two best friends ran hand in hand all the way to Mrs. Xiao's yard, paid their respects according to the procedure, then went back to steal their dowries and continued to go to the pawnshop.

This time, the two of them went straight to their destination, saving themselves the trouble of comparing prices from three different stores. It didn't take them long to finish their dowry.

Li Sisi was strolling on the street holding Li Nian's little hand, when she suddenly heard a few men gathered nearby chatting and laughing.

"I heard that the top girl at Furong Tower will be getting married this afternoon. Should we go and join in the fun?"

"Do you have money? How dare you come forward?"

"Hey, I'm not eating. I'm just here to watch the fun," the man in blue cloth said with a sly smile. "Are you afraid your tigress will find out and skin you alive?"

"What a joke! I'm afraid of that bitch?" The man in gray clothes was full of disdain. "Let's go! Let's go after lunch this afternoon!"

The man in blue cloth smiled and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Li Sisi listened to their conversation and her curiosity suddenly piqued. "Niannian, let's go see some beauties this afternoon too?"
