Although she and Lu Yanzhao were nominally husband and wife, their relationship was delicate, and they might even divorce in the future. Listening to their indescribable, ambiguous sounds, she felt incredibly, incredibly, incredibly embarrassed!

Just then, Lu Yanzhao's leg went numb, and he lost his balance, stumbling forward and bumping into Gu Nanjiao.

In such an environment, even the slightest touch would be magnified infinitely. Gu Nanjiao felt as if the places he touched were being massaged on her acupoints, tingling and burning hot, impossible to ignore.

She tried to move her foot, but accidentally bumped into some grass, making a rustling sound. Gu Nanjiao was startled and quickly froze in place. Fortunately, the two were so engrossed in their battle that they didn't notice the noise.

The two were very close, Lu Yanzhao's breath was right next to hers, and his warm breath brushed against her neck, bringing an indescribable tingling and numb sensation, like a small electric current shooting straight into her heart.

Gu Nanjiao held her breath to barely suppress the discomfort.

Gu Nanjiao's legs were numb from squatting, and she was about to give up when the session finally ended.

Gu Nanjiao was really curious about who this man was, and he even had some good kidneys!

As Yang Meiqin dressed, she said, "You rascal, you're about to marry the teacher's daughter, and you still come looking for me!"

Lu Yanping was breathing heavily and his face turned ugly when he heard Yang Meiqin say that: "Don't mention that pig in front of me!"

Yang Meiqin said sarcastically, "Then you still have to get married, can you go against your mother's wishes?"

Lu Yanping's face turned ashen. He said, "Hmph, if I don't want to marry, no one can control me."

Yang Meiqin sneered: "None of what you men say is true. In the end, you still marry her, don't you? Saying you won't marry anyone but me? Humph, I don't believe it!"

Lu Yanping glanced at Yang Meiqin sideways: "When it comes to ruthlessness, you, Yang Meiqin, are the worst. Everyone says that prostitutes are ruthless, humph! What about your Master Wang? Can't satisfy you? You're like a bewitching charm, leading me to you. I haven't forgotten that beating I got, it was your doing."

These words seemed to hit Yang Meiqin's sore spot, and she immediately became angry: "You still have the nerve to come to me, old lady."

Mentioning Master Wang, Yang Meiqin couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. They say a man's words are deceitful, and it was certainly true. He'd been calling her his sweetheart in bed, promising to take her into his household as a concubine, but what happened? He'd turned his back on her the moment he laid down his pants, and left without a trace. So much time had passed, and he hadn't come looking for her. Her anxiety grew, which was why she'd resorted to this desperate measure of seducing Lu Yanping outside the home, hoping to try something new and keep him hooked. What if Master Wang really didn't remember her? At least Lu Yanping would be infatuated with her and might marry her.

Isn't marriage the best outcome for a woman? Even if she's a widow who runs a business, she still dreams of one day having a stable home where she can be a wife and mother. Even becoming a concubine is better than growing old and losing her beauty, only to be forgotten after death.

Lu Yanping chuckled lewdly, reached out and groped her twice, then sniffed her: "It's all because you're so... wanton, you almost made me die on you. If I had to marry a pig, I'd rather marry a vixen like you."

Yang Meiqin curled her lips: "You men are all the same. You say you won't marry her, but in the end, you still listen to your mother and obediently marry Huang Qingqing."

Yang Meiqin continued, "Lu Yanzhao is a perfect example. Back then, Gu Nanjiao stripped naked and climbed into his bed, but he threw her off. He felt disgusted just looking at her. Now, he's still completely infatuated with that bitch, calling her 'wife' so affectionately."

Gu Nanjiao, whose legs were numb, was stunned. She was already embarrassed enough about eavesdropping on a live sex show with Lu Yanzhao. Now, the female lead was bringing up her past embarrassing scandals. This made it impossible for her to ignore Lu Yanzhao standing beside her.

Gu Nanjiao kept her head down, her face flushed. She wanted to dig at the ground to see if she could carve out a three-bedroom apartment.

Upon hearing Yang Meiqin's words, Lu Yanzhao looked to the side with some unease. Gu Nanjiao lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought, and her expression was unreadable.

That jerk, why does he have to bring up such a sore spot? Gu Nanjiao had finally started to improve things with him and stopped mentioning divorce, but then...

What if Gu Nanjiao brings up the past again?

At this moment, Lu Yanzhao harbored hatred for Yang Meiqin.

Lu Yanping scoffed: "Look at you, so sour. You're jealous because the two of them are getting along so well. Wasn't it you who gave Gu Nanjiao the idea that men only think with their lower bodies and that once the deed is done, men are just lapdogs at their feet? Now, as long as you serve me well, I'm willing to be your lapdog too."

After saying that, Lu Yanping pressed down on Yang Meiqin again.

"Hate……"

Yang Meiqin's charming voice came again...

Gu Nanjiao, standing to the side: Damn it, not again? Is this never going to end?!

Lu Yanzhao, standing to the side: I can't believe you can play like this...

Just as Gu Nanjiao's legs were so numb she was about to fall asleep, the two finally finished and left.

Scratching the mosquito bites on her neck, Gu Nanjiao slowly stood up. She couldn't fall, or Lu Yanzhao would think she had ulterior motives!

On the way back, neither of them spoke. When they were almost home, Gu Nanjiao tried to ease the awkwardness by saying, "Your cousin is pretty amazing!"

She regretted it as soon as she said it. She... she's terrible at finding topics to talk about. What kind of things did she say?

Lu Yanzhao glanced at her, said nothing, and pulled the cart into the house.

Seeing the two return together, Lu's mother felt immensely relieved. But when she saw the two large bags on the cart, she couldn't help but ask, "What's this? Where have you two been?"

Gu Nanjiao gestured for Lu's mother to be quiet, then whispered in her ear, "Mother, we went to the back mountain to get saltpeter for making ice. We were afraid someone would see us during the day, so we had to go at night."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Mother Lu understood immediately!

After moving the saltpeter to the cellar, Gu Nanjiao began to wash up!

When she entered the room, Lu Yanzhao was already sitting on the bed. When he saw Gu Nanjiao come in, he glanced up at her, then quickly lowered his head again to continue reading the book in his hand.

Gu Nanjiao lowered her head to pack her clothes, and after she finished, she planned to go to bed.

Seeing that Gu Nanjiao was still tidying up, Lu Yanzhao put down the book in his hand and asked, frowning, "What are you tidying up? Why don't you come and go to sleep!"

"They're here!"

As soon as Gu Nanjiao lay down, Lu Yanzhao rolled over and pressed down on her, staring intently at her with a strange mix of emotions in his eyes.

Gu Nanjiao's face was flushed, and her heart was pounding. Sure enough, tonight's live battle had provoked Lu Yanzhao, and now she was in trouble.

Lu Yanzhao stared intently at Gu Nanjiao, his voice languidly hoarse: "Actually, I'm even more capable than my cousin!"
