Xu Yaozu slowly released his hand from Yang Chunqin's mouth, and whispered in her ear, "Don't make a sound!"

Yang Chunqin also leaned close to Xu Yaozu's ear and whispered, "What's wrong? Is there a thief?"

Xu Yaozu's eyes were unreadable in the darkness, and he gave a soft "hmm".

Trying to steal his daughter, isn't that being a thief? Xu Yaozu thought there was nothing wrong with that.

Yang Chunqin was naturally hot-tempered and easily angered. Upon hearing that there was a thief, she was furious. She jumped up, ready to rush out and catch the thief.

Xu Yaozu stopped him with lightning speed, but the movement aggravated his wound, causing him to hiss in pain.

Yang Chunqin's eyes had long since adjusted to the darkness. She wrapped her arms around Xu Yaozu's neck and whispered anxiously in his ear, "Why aren't you in a hurry to catch the thief?"

Xu Yaozu's ears were tickled by Yang Chunqin, and he suddenly felt aroused. It seemed like they hadn't been this affectionate in many, many years. Xu Yaozu's ears turned red for no reason, just like when they first got married.

After waiting for a while without hearing Xu Yaozu's reply, Yang Chunqin curiously moved closer to his face to see his expression. As soon as she got close, Xu Yaozu suddenly felt like a young boy with a fluttering heart.

I never expected catching a thief would give me such an extraordinary feeling.

Yang Chunqin's face was right in front of them, and their breaths mingled together.

Xu Yaozu couldn't resist quickly kissing Yang Chunqin.

Yang Chunqin was dumbfounded. Had this man lost his mind? How could he be so indecent at such a tense time?

Xu Yaozu was getting more and more into it. At this point, he didn't care whether Mu Jingheng was cheating or not. Anyway, he couldn't cheat on her, and his daughter's room wasn't just for her.

He pushed Yang Chunqin to the ground and then climbed on top of her.

Yang Chunqin shouted urgently in a breathy voice, "Thief! There's a thief!"

Xu Yaozu sealed Yang Chunqin's lips with his, and added, "Don't worry, he can't steal it."

Yang Chunqin was furious! What does this mean?

Then the room was filled with the warmth of spring.

Afraid of being overheard by Mu Jingheng outside the door, the two of them suppressed their voices, and strangely enough, the more they did so, the better it felt.

No wonder people say that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen affair; that must be what they're talking about, right?

The room wasn't very soundproof. Grandma Xu and Grandpa Xu were still awake. They hadn't heard Xu Yaozu and Yang Chunqin making any rustling noises, but the thumping of the bed was quite real. Grandpa Xu muttered, "At their age, they're still so careless. Aren't they afraid the bed will collapse?"

Grandma Xu glared at Grandpa Xu in the darkness, thinking to herself, "They're both equally bad, and they still have the nerve to talk about their son."

A fierce battle was raging here, Mu Jingheng was anxious, but the two old men were perfectly aware of the situation.

Grandpa Xu: "My daughter's wedding is coming soon."

Grandma Xu: "Yes! Time flies so fast, our little girl is about to get married."

Grandpa Xu: "Is the dowry all prepared?"

Grandma Xu: "That's about right. Luckily, Xiao Heng is still young, otherwise he wouldn't have been delayed until after the New Year!"

Grandpa Xu: "Who says otherwise! Look how anxious this kid is. What do you think he's upstairs in the middle of the night?"

Grandma Xu: "You should know this very well! Back when we first got engaged, didn't you often secretly come to see me?"

Grandpa Xu chuckled, reminiscing about his youth. Time really flies; how could a lifetime have passed in the blink of an eye?

Grandma Xu: "It's so good to be young. You have so much energy for everything you do."

Grandpa Xu: "Who says otherwise? Old woman, you've suffered so much following me."

Grandma Xu laughed: "Look at what you're saying, but it really is tiring, it's mentally exhausting."

Old Master Xu became interested and asked, "What do you mean?"

Grandma Xu: "After I married into this family, the neighbors never stopped causing trouble. They were always doing strange things. When I was young, I was impulsive. I know that she grew up with you and that you two were once engaged. I have an indescribable resentment in my heart."

Grandpa Xu: "That's just how she is. She's been pampered her whole life. Even though she's old, she's still like a child at heart. She's really lucky. When she was young, her parents doted on her like the apple of their eye. After she got married, Yao Dahai always thought of her best. If it were any other man, who could stand her lack of restraint?"

Grandma Xu: "Didn't you protect her your whole life too?"

Grandpa Xu turned to Grandma Xu and said, "Why do I smell something sour?"

Grandma Xu: "When I was young, I really cared about your attitude towards her, and she always liked to provoke me. You have no idea how painful it was for me."

Grandpa Xu: "I know, how could I not know? I was having a hard time balancing between you and my responsibilities back then. You know, her parents entrusted her to me on their deathbeds. I've always treated her like a younger sister, but seeing you so uncomfortable made me reluctant to let you go. So I asked Yao Dahai to take care of her. That kid is something else. He spoils his wife unconditionally. He indulges her as long as she's happy. I was thinking, fine, I'll spoil my wife too. When we start fighting, I'll just hand her a big broom and beat this guy to death."

Grandpa Xu laughed as he spoke.

Grandma Xu: "No wonder you kept tying big brooms to my house. I was wondering why you still liked tying them when we had so many brooms at home. Now I know why."

Grandma Xu smiled after she finished speaking.

Grandpa Xu: "Haven't you noticed that you can easily grab a broom? Especially by that wall, it's become a habit of mine over the years."

Grandma Xu: "Old man, you've put your heart into it."

Grandpa Xu snorted and continued, "It's a pity you never noticed."

Grandma Xu: "How come I didn't notice? Otherwise, why would I have calmed down and thought about the relationship between our two families?"

Grandpa Xu: "My wife, it is my blessing to have married you in this life."

Grandma Xu held Grandpa Xu's hand without saying a word.

Grandpa Xu turned to the side and pulled Grandma Xu into his arms.

How I wish time could slow down; life is just too short.

Mu Jingheng paced outside the door for half the night, and still angry, he went into his space and wrote a thousand-word letter of condemnation, accusing Xu Xinning of breaking her word and accusing Xu Xinning of no longer caring about him.

Then, when Mu Jingheng woke up the next day, he had dark circles under his eyes.

Xu Yaozu glanced at Mu Jingheng with a refreshed expression. If he weren't in such a good mood, he would have really wanted to beat the kid up.

Grandma Xu and Grandpa Xu gave Mu Jingheng a meaningful look, and then looked at Xu Yaozu.

Everything is fine!

Seeing Xu Xinning come downstairs, Mu Jingheng went up to her with a wronged look on his face.
