But Bai Jiaojiao was still shaken: "Be careful, Ding Shifang is a crazy woman, she's capable of anything. Last time, last time," Bai Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment, then said, half-jokingly, "Last time I dreamt that Ding Shifang saw you help me and harbored resentment towards you. She was afraid that with your support I would overpower her, so she wanted to get rid of you too. I dreamt that she had someone drive a white sedan and run you over..."

"Alright, stop daydreaming. That car is so expensive, and it's a white sedan."

No matter how far-sighted Shen Heng was, he did not live to see what would happen in the future. After the reforms, the country's economy developed rapidly. In another ten years, the productivity of that time would be completely different from what it was back then, and a metropolis like Yancheng would be bustling with traffic.

"Just be careful."

Shen Heng saw that Bai Jiaojiao had been frightened to such an extent by Ding Shifang, which showed how hateful Ding Shifang was.

“I understand. I will be careful in everything I do for you. I’m still looking forward to spending my whole life with you two.” Shen Heng pulled Bai Jiaojiao to sit on his lap, and their eyes couldn’t help but turn to Bai Doudou, who was circling around in the yard.

Bai Jiaojiao thought to herself, "Right, I need to be careful with Dou Dou from now on. What if Ding Shifang tries to harm Dou Dou? Heng-ge, when we take Dou Dou out for a walk, don't let it sniff around everywhere. It's not good if it eats random things."

Shen Heng pinched Bai Jiaojiao's waist: "I know, I know, our Dou Dou can't get into trouble, otherwise her sister will be heartbroken."

When Bai Doudou heard her name called, she looked straight at the two of them.

Seeing Bai Doudou's silly appearance, Shen Heng couldn't help but laugh: "Look at this dog, it looks so silly."

"You're the silly one. Our DouDou is very smart. She's already learned to sit up."

Bai Jiaojiao stood up: "Let's go, it's getting dark and a bit cold outside."

"Okay, let's go back inside and talk."

Shen Heng carried Bai Jiaojiao onto the kang (a heated brick bed) to review his lessons, but Bai Doudou slipped in through the crack in the door, sat in front of the kang, and looked up at the two of them.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Heng snapped at it, then turned to pin Bai Jiaojiao down.

"No, you have to let DouDou out."

"It can't understand it."

"Why can't it understand? DouDou is very smart."

Bai Jiaojiao was too embarrassed to do that kind of thing in front of Bai Doudou, and Shen Heng couldn't do anything about it.

He had no choice but to get off the kang (a heated brick bed). He originally wanted to kick it away, but he found that the puppy had gained a lot of weight in the past few days and was so solid that he couldn't kick it anymore.

Shen Heng bent down to hug it, and Bai Doudou thought Shen Heng was playing with it, so it crawled under the cabinet and looked at him from inside, wagging its tail at him.

Shen Heng: "..." He's just making trouble for himself again. He shouldn't have kept this thing.

"Bai Doudou, come out here." Shen Heng said with a stern face.

White Bean couldn't understand, so it stuck out its tongue and became a cheerful puppy.

"You're not coming out, are you?"

Chen Heng rubbed his hands together.

"Heng-ge, don't bully it, be careful." Bai Jiaojiao lay down on the edge of the kang to see what Shen Heng was going to do.

Suddenly, Shen Heng stood up, flipped her over, and picked her up horizontally, saying, "If it won't come out, let's go outside."

"Heng-ge, what are you doing!" Bai Jiaojiao quickly hugged Shen Heng's neck, and Shen Heng, while holding her, also locked the bedroom door from the outside.

“Let’s go somewhere else today.” Shen Heng smiled mischievously and placed Bai Jiaojiao on the single sofa in the living room.

"No! This won't do..."

Shen Heng pressed down on him, placing his hands on the armrests of the sofa: "Why not? This isn't just anywhere, this is our home."

Bai Jiaojiao was so embarrassed that she couldn't push Shen Heng away.

Shen Heng thought he was a genius for coming up with such a good method.

He was incredibly proud: "Be good, or Brother Heng will have to punish you properly."

Bai Jiaojiao bit Shen Heng's neck. No matter what she did, Shen Heng always had something to say.

Bai Doudou was scratching at the door, wondering why her older sister didn't play with her.

“Dou Dou has figured it out. Let it out and we’ll go back. Heng-ge, let’s go to the kang (heated brick bed).” Bai Jiaojiao gripped Shen Heng’s clothes tightly.

"It's too late."

Shen Heng knelt in the middle of the sofa, letting Bai Jiaojiao's legs rest on the armrests on either side.

He pressed himself close to her and lowered his head to kiss Bai Jiaojiao's lips: "Don't be nervous."

Bai Jiaojiao's soles were numb. Because the sofa armrests were blocking her, she couldn't pull her legs back. She was pinned between the sofas by Chen Heng in an extremely shameful position.

"Hold me tight, Jiaojiao," Shen Heng kissed Bai Jiaojiao's face, already somewhat flustered, "Be good."

Bai Jiaojiao's eyes were red from holding back her tears, but there was nothing else she could do.

Bai Doudou scratched at the door all night but still couldn't figure out how she was able to sleep in the bedroom today.

Bai Jiaojiao was carried to the living room by Shen Heng, and then carried back by him.

"Let me wipe it for you, don't be angry." Shen Heng smiled shamelessly at Bai Jiaojiao, and then got kicked.

Shen Heng rubbed Bai Jiaojiao's feet in his palms and said, "They're so cold." He then quickly covered her with the blanket.

"Whose fault is it!" Bai Jiaojiao glared at him fiercely.

"It's my fault, it's my fault. I'll make amends immediately."

Bai Jiaojiao nestled in the blankets, only her red eyes showing.

Shen Heng, seemingly unaware of her embarrassment, continued, "I'll go wipe the sofa too; it got dirty earlier."

"..." Bai Jiaojiao pulled the blanket over her head, not even showing her eyes. "Make sure you clean yourself properly!" She didn't want to think about tonight's events every time she saw that sofa in the future.

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

Shen Heng touched Bai Jiaojiao through the blanket, then went to clean the sofa and took a shower.

Seeing Bai Doudou standing listlessly at the door, he surprisingly praised her: "You did a good job today, keep it up!"

"Waaah..."

Bai Doudou was quite confused when she was suddenly patted on the head.

However, it still couldn't recognize its true nature and started babbling incoherently.

Shen Heng found a thrill again. He thought to himself, "This house is quite big. Wouldn't it be better to go out into the yard and have some fun when the weather gets warmer?"

He pondered this in his mind, then returned to the bedroom, only to find that Bai Jiaojiao had gotten off the kang (a heated brick bed) and locked the door from the inside.

"Jiaojiao, stop it, open the door. I just got back today, I'm exhausted, I need to get some sleep."

Chen Heng sold his pitiful act.

But then Bai Jiaojiao said from inside the room, "Didn't Bai Doudou behave well? Why don't you sleep with it!"

Bai Jiaojiao could hear what Shen Heng was saying outside the courtyard right by the window.

Shen Heng, who was just gloating, suddenly couldn't even get into the house.

He squatted down beside Bai Doudou helplessly: "Your sister has such a bad temper, you can't be like her." He's a licensed professional, isn't it a bit unreasonable to not even let her into the house?

"Woof..." Bai Doudou was a kind-hearted dog. It didn't understand what Shen Heng was saying, but it still replied to him.
