"Hmm~"

When Jiang Ning woke up, she found the room to be dark.

A few drops of cool moonlight streamed through the dilapidated window, allowing her to barely make out her surroundings.

The old-fashioned canopy bed was covered with a yellowed and patched mosquito net. Next to the bed was a table with peeling paint. The exposed floor was rammed earth, and the walls were also mottled mud walls.

Oh my god!

Isn't this the house where I lived with Lin Chen back then?

"Ningning, were you having a nightmare?"

Hearing the noise, Lin Chen, who was lying on the bamboo mat on the ground, quickly got up and went to the bedside to lift the mosquito net.

Jiang Ning then felt a tall, imposing black shadow pressing down on her.

He had handsome, well-defined features, long, deep-set eyes, and a hint of concern in his gaze. His skin was slightly dark, and his brows held a touch of youthful innocence, clearly showing his appearance in his younger days.

She has truly been reborn!

Let's go back to their wedding night in 1976.

They got married because he rescued her from drowning and saw her private parts; they were forced to stay together due to public pressure.

At this time, she was filled with disgust and rejection towards him, so they did not share a bed on their wedding night or for a long time afterward.

For decades, they supported each other through thick and thin, until he stopped breathing, she realized that her love for him had already penetrated to the bone.

Thinking about her neglect of him, Jiang Ning felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and her eyes involuntarily filled with tears.

Lu Chen felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw her tearful and pitiful appearance.

What a beautiful girl! Her skin was fair, like jade without a single impurity, and her features were delicate and exquisite, like a fairy in a painting, otherworldly and refined. It was truly a waste for her to be paired with a rough man like him.

Driven by male instinct, he pulled her into his arms and gently coaxed her:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Jiang Ning's tears streamed down her face.

In her previous life, she was an innocent and carefree girl. Every time she experienced the loss of her child or a loved one, it was as if a rib was being pulled out of her body. He was the one who held her and comforted her.

Before her rebirth, she had burned those who had hurt them to death. This time, it was her turn to protect them and make them pay back double for the pain they had suffered.

Lin Chen thought he had really had some terrible nightmare, and felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe. He hurriedly and helplessly helped her wipe away her tears.

Rough fingers traced across her delicate skin, and her body shuddered as if electrocuted.

Jiang Ning felt his breathing become heavy, and his scorching breath hit her face.

So she wrapped her soft hands around his neck, her whole body hanging on him as if boneless.

"Ningning, you..." He looked at her in astonishment, grabbed her slender waist, and tried to push her away.

Doesn't she hate him?

He couldn't take advantage of her vulnerability and have sex with her when she was unwilling.

The next second, his thin lips were sealed by her soft lips.

His mind was instantly filled with dazzling fireworks, and his heart was burning with excitement.

The sweet taste he experienced on his tongue made him freeze.

"I want you!" she murmured through her lips, her movements deepening with each step.

She really does!

They are now legally married, but he neglected his wife on their wedding night. Is he even a man?

Lin Chen felt his body burning hot and took the initiative to kiss him.

His kiss was domineering and deep, leaving Jiang Ning limp and powerless.

An hour later, Lin Chen hugged Jiang Ning from behind. Seeing her as docile as a kitten, he couldn't help but bite her earlobe again.

"Lie down, I'll get some water to wipe you down."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Ning responded softly, her hair as black as seaweed, and she slightly rose.

"I'd like to have another glass of water."

Lin Chen got up happily and put on his shorts.

Jiang Ning blushed when she saw his firm, even skin, broad shoulders without an ounce of fat, and narrow waist.

Just now, he demonstrated amazing waist strength.

Lin Chen first brought her an enamel mug of water to drink, and then filled a basin with hot water to help her wash herself.

The two, who had just been so intimate, were now blushing with embarrassment. He reached under the covers and performed a series of actions.

After wiping, Jiang Ning pushed the enamel mug, now filled with spiritual spring water, towards him, and said coquettishly:

"I can't finish it, you drink it."

Lin Chen took the cup, seemingly catching a whiff of her lingering fragrance, and gulped it down in one go.

So sweet!

Was the water sweetened with honey today? It tastes exceptionally sweet!

Not only is it sweet, but it also makes you feel full of energy after drinking it.

He lay back down on the bed, his strong arm running through her hair, and resting under her neck as a pillow.

Jiang Ning turned to face him, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

His Adam's apple bobbed, his body throbbed with pain, and he pulled her into his arms again...

The next day, Lin Chen was awakened by the clanging and banging sounds outside.

He looked at the delicate body sleeping with her back to him, her body folded up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

I turned my head to look out the window.

It was just getting light, probably only around five o'clock.

What's wrong with Grandma? She usually gets up at seven o'clock, why is she up so early today?

He gently pulled his arm away from Jiang Ning's neck and prepared to put on his clothes.

Looking at the woman's smooth and beautiful face, he recalled the madness of last night, and his ears burned, his heart softened.

She is now his wife, his precious darling.

How he longed to hold her forever and sleep until the end of time!

As he was getting out of bed, he quietly leaned forward and gently kissed the corner of her lips.

Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, her languid, watery gaze looking at him with a smile.

Oh no, we've been caught.

Lin Chen bit his lip and grinned foolishly, "You sleep a little longer, I'll go tell Grandma to not make any noise."

Her fingers hooked onto the vest she was wearing:

"Okay, let's lie down and sleep a little longer!"

Her voice was soft and sweet, like a cat's paw scratching at his heart, tickling and tingling.

He couldn't help but pinch her chin and kiss her cherry lips.

She took the opportunity to climb her lotus root-like arms onto his chest.

She had to admit that even through his clothes, she could feel the bulging muscle lines on his body, and his straight thighs were strong and powerful when they wrapped around her.

"What time is it? Get up!" Grandma's scolding voice came from the main room.

The two parted with difficulty, their eyes still filled with reluctance.

Lin Chen told her to rest well and that he would deal with her grandmother on his own.

Jiang Ning covered herself tightly with the blanket, hiding her face which was so red it looked like it could bleed, looking playful and cute.

Even though her body ached as if she had been run over by a car, she softened into a puddle of water the moment she touched his skin, longing to be teased by him.

In their previous life, their marriage was more like cohabitation; they never truly relaxed and experienced intimacy. The successive deaths of their children left them both emotionally and physically exhausted.

In this life, everything can start anew; she wants to experience true happiness.

Just as she was lazily enjoying the future, the door was suddenly kicked open. Before Lin Chen could stop it, an old woman with silver hair rushed to the bedside and began to hurl insults at her...
