Zhou Mingli didn't ask about it again. The two went into their rooms separately, and after listening to Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao recite what they had taught them, they were allowed to go to sleep.
So much happened today. Jiang Ci was exhausted from getting caught in the rain and taking care of the elderly. After washing up, she just wanted to go to bed.
Zhou Mingli lay down next to her, not letting her fall asleep immediately, and asked, "Why did you suddenly touch me this afternoon?"
"What?" Jiang Ci didn't hear him clearly.
Zhou Mingli silently took her hand and placed it on his stomach.
The hard, muscular texture throbbed in Jiang Ci's palm, and she instinctively touched it.
There was no light in the room, and the rain outside seemed to be stopping.
"This afternoon, did you touch me like this to test what you were thinking?" Zhou Mingli felt the touch of her palms on his body, and the muscles in his waist and abdomen became more and more defined.
Jiang Cijue was speechless, and she laughed in exasperation at Zhou Mingli's serious words.
Zhou Mingli felt no shame at all at her smile. Since everything was out in the open, and Jiang Ci knew he liked her, what did it matter if he wanted to win over his wife? Would he have won her over if he had to be shameless?
Zhou Mingli, who suffered a divorce from his wife before transmigrating into the book, has already found the answer.
Seemingly worried about disturbing the two children who were fast asleep nearby, Zhou Mingli turned to the side, filling the small gap between them, and leaned close to her ear, whispering softly so that only the two of them could hear.
Jiang Ci's ears turned red from the heat he exhaled. After hearing his words, she kicked him in annoyance, "Have some shame."
Zhou Mingli looked at her calmly, only able to vaguely make out the outline of her face. "What I said is all true."
"Jiang Ci, you can continue to act recklessly now."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Zhou Mingli has broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The intense work over the past few days has made his six-pack abs quite prominent. Both of them had taken a shower and used the same soap because there was only one bar of soap at home.
Aside from the smell of soap, the only other scent on him was the fragrance of face cream left by Jiang Ci when she touched his abdomen.
The fragrance was faint, yet it intertwined with the scent on Jiang Ci's body.
Jiang Ci patted his chest and said meaningfully, "I don't want to get pregnant. Are you sure you want to keep holding back until we get condoms?"
She's an adult woman; it's normal for her to have her own needs.
Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Jiang Ci has calmed down and, when facing Zhou Mingli, has somewhat returned to the state she was in about four years after their marriage.
If you want to be happy, then you should be happy. Why suppress your needs? She's not an ascetic.
Condoms were scarce these days; you could only get one or two for free a year, and that wasn't even for the rural areas. Zhou Mingli couldn't get any even if he wanted to.
He frowned, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "I'll go to the city to get a tubal ligation in a while."
Jiang Ci almost spat out her drink. "Are you kidding me?"
Zhou Mingli countered, "You already have two children, do you want to have another one?"
Jiangci: Of course not.
Why would someone who has already experienced painless childbirth want to have another child on their own?
With that thought in mind, Jiang Ci raised both hands in agreement with Zhou Mingli's proposal.
Jiang Ci hesitated for a moment, "Is this kind of surgery possible now?"
Zhou Mingli: "It should be possible. Let's go to town and ask the doctor."
Jiang Ci was delighted and put her hands on his neck, pulling him up with a force.
Zhou Mingli's lips pressed against Jiang Ci's lips.
Jiang Ci loosened her grip slightly and breathed softly, "This is a reward for you."
Zhou Mingli paused slightly, but quickly reacted, cupped her cheek, pressed his lips to hers, and slipped into her mouth, chasing after her tongue.
Zhou Mingli's kiss was forceful and urgent, and Jiang Ci's fingers unconsciously grabbed his short hair and rubbed it in her hands.
Jiang Ci kissed Zhou Mingli too hard, accidentally making a soft smacking sound. She immediately patted him and said breathlessly, "Be gentle."
There were two children nearby; such intimacy was already going too far.
Zhou Mingli relaxed slightly, his chest heaving heavily. He glanced to the side and said in a hoarse voice, "We need to make another small bed to separate Yangyang and Miaomiao from us."
After saying that, Zhou Mingli held Jiang Ci's face and lowered his head to place wet kisses on different places.
Jiang Ci: "..."
Keep pinching his ears.
They performed tubal ligation and built a small bed for her.
This man was really starving.
...
At Zhou Gou's home.
After dinner, there was no entertainment at home. Wang Zhaodi had been very attentive these past few days, taking care of all the housework—cooking, cleaning, and laundry—she was incredibly diligent.
Zhou Gou didn't say a word to Wang Zhaodi, silently watching her work, and watching Zhou Huai standing aside, wanting to help Wang Zhaodi but not daring to.
He had a feeling that something was wrong, but Zhou Gou couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
That evening, Zhou Gou was preoccupied with Mr. Cheng's affairs and didn't notice that Wang Zhaodi was constantly giving his daughter meaningful glances.
Just before going to bed, Zhou Huai suddenly called out to him, "Dad."
Zhou Gou smiled kindly, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Huai kept rubbing his hands together, lowering his voice and trembling, "Please have another baby brother for me with Mom."
