"You keep talking about being filial, but you burn newspapers at the grave—you're just fooling the ghosts."

"Is this your way of showing filial piety?" the woman asked resentfully.

"Wife, you have to accept reality. The person is gone. Can revenge bring them back to life? Please accept my condolences." Chai Bairi sighed.

“Husband, I am a daughter of the Bai family, and the blood of the Bai family flows in my veins. Even if you don’t care about the Bai family, you should still help me out for the sake of our years of marriage.”

"They've all passed away, and they'll never bother you again. This is the last time. Let them die in peace and be reincarnated in peace."

"As a daughter, what's the point of living if I can't even avenge the massacre of my clan?" The woman looked around, then got up and rammed her head against the door.

With a thud, the woman fell to the ground.

Blood immediately gushed from his forehead.

Upon seeing this, Chai Bairi was startled and rushed over, squatting down beside him. "Wife, are you alright? Why were you so foolish?"

"Husband, I'm begging you, please?" the woman pleaded weakly, disregarding her own safety.

"Sigh!" Chai Bairi gave a bitter smile, his expression complex and indescribable.

"Alright, I'll help the Bai family one more time." Chai Bairi softened and agreed.

The woman was, after all, a mother of three, and after so many years, feelings had developed between them. Given this situation, Chai Bairi had no choice but to agree.

We can't just stand by and watch her die.

What will the three children think? Will they hold a grudge against him?

Sure enough, crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide are effective on men.

Throughout history, how many families have been ruined by women's willfulness and stubbornness?

Could the Chai family be one of them?

...

"Brother Changfeng, can I call you husband from now on?" That evening, Chen Qiqi looked blissful, her cute braids swaying back and forth.

My family has taken care of things; we've overcome the toughest hurdle. There's no reason for me to be unhappy.

"It's not the right time yet, it's still early." Li Changfeng shook his head.

He is currently feeling rather lost, unsure of how he should feel about Shen Qiqi.

accept?

What should I do about my senior sister? I've had extremely close contact with both my eldest and third senior sisters.

You won't accept it?

Shen Qiqi treated him with utmost sincerity and kindness, even at the cost of going against her family and falling out with them.

Li Changfeng was very distressed, his mind was in a mess.

Since returning from the Shen family, he has been preoccupied, as if a stone was stuck in his chest, and he has been lost in thought at least three times.

My mood seems to be even worse right now.

Damn!

Fuck it!

The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge; why worry unnecessarily?

Didn't I once aspire to be a scumbag? When I came down the mountain, I vowed to seduce all the beauties in the world and experience all kinds of charm. When did I become so indecisive and hesitant?

To hell with morality! Play around, have fun, and embrace whatever comes your way – that's the true nature of a man.

Isn't having more women a good thing? Who wouldn't want to have three wives and four concubines, enjoying the bliss of having multiple wives?

How did things get so chaotic because of Shen Qiqi? How did she lose her composure?

I'm laughing at myself.

If you had been so responsible and committed from the beginning, and accepted the senior sister's enthusiasm, why didn't you stop the third senior sister from rushing headlong into the fire?

It's clearly a tangled mess, why are you being so dramatic?

Li Changfeng, Li Changfeng, you better remember this: if you ever have such wild thoughts again, you must slap yourself three times to correct yourself and get rid of this bad habit.

Damn it, I'm so conflicted.

Do you remember when I first came to Jinghai? On her first day, Shen Qiqi came to my bedroom and framed me. I immediately pinned her down on the bed and kissed and tormented her.

Ye Zihan wanted to get rid of Du Yukun's entanglement by saying that he was her boyfriend, but at the same time he created trouble for himself. On the spot, he put his arm around her small waist and touched her perky buttocks. Where was his coolness at that time?

What about that carefree lifestyle back then?

Lost?

Or was it eaten by wild dogs and left to defecate in the wilderness?

One must never forget one's original aspirations.

Li Changfeng cursed himself inwardly for a while, and then gave himself a lecture.

You absolutely cannot let women bother you. There's no reason to turn someone away when they offer themselves to you. They're beautiful, what idiot wouldn't take a look?

Let's stop being idiots, starting with me.

There's nothing wrong with being a scumbag.

The prodigal son Kuku deceived one person after another.

"Is it too early? Young couples start calling each other 'husband' and 'wife' as soon as they start dating. Even teenagers call each other that. We've already met each other's parents, so it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with taking our terms of address a little further," Chen Qiqi said, pouting and looking aggrieved.

“That’s true.” Li Changfeng suddenly understood, and his mindset changed silently, giving him a sense of ease, like seeing the sun and moon after the clouds had parted.

He then wrapped his arm around Shen Qiqi's shoulder and moved closer to her.

"However, we can only shout it in private. After all, we haven't held an engagement ceremony yet, and we haven't met my elders. We don't want people to hear it and gossip."

Li Changfeng was just bluffing. Was it appropriate for Shen Qiqi to call him "husband" in front of Ye Zihan? Wouldn't she completely collapse in front of her senior sister and third senior sister?

"You said it!" Shen Qiqi's eyes lit up, filled with surprise and delight.

“Of course,” Li Changfeng said firmly.

"Hehe, give me a kiss, honey." Shen Qiqi said without any shame.

"Come here." Li Changfeng accepted the offer without hesitation and took the initiative to kiss her.

Four lips pressed together, one word: fragrant!

That's exactly the feeling I wanted; this is how it should be.

It seems I took the wrong path before, creating obstacles for myself.

Li Changfeng wanted to pursue things further, but Shen Qiqi broke up with him first.

"Brother Changfeng..."
