Chapter 24 Sharing a Bed

Yu Xiangwan didn't know how to refuse.

So she threw this difficult problem to Lu Yingzheng.

There is an old saying that whether the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is good or not depends mainly on the son.

She is a fake daughter-in-law, but she is actually a daughter-in-law.

[In order to prevent myself from having greedy thoughts, I didn’t even open it, for fear that I might have greedy thoughts.]

"Your mother gave it to me. It has nothing to do with me. I gave it to you as soon as I saw you."

Lu Yingzheng couldn't help laughing when he saw Yu Xiangwan handing the wooden box to him with his eyes closed.

He weighed the wooden box and found it was quite heavy.

“I didn’t even know there was something like this in my house.”

"My mother is very confident in you."

Yu Xiangwan: "That's right, I just feel too confident."

"Luckily I'm a good person."

Yu Xiangwan was bragging to himself when he suddenly felt weight in his hands again.

She looked down.

How did the box return to my hands?

She looked at Lu Yingzheng with confusion and bewilderment.

Lu Yingzheng: "I trust you, too."

Subconsciously, he was not worried that Yu Xiangwan would embezzle this thing.

"I'm worried about myself." Yu Xiangwan stuffed the box back and crossed his hands over his chest.

She refused: "Don't give it to me again. You give it to me and I give it to you. If you lose it, it will be a heavy loss. Do you understand?" x|

[I won’t get involved in your Lu family’s affairs.]

Lu Yingzheng thought Yu Xiangwan was troubled.

However, Yu Xiangwan's next words made him laugh and cry.

[It’s not for me. To put it bluntly, it’s for the Lu family’s “daughter-in-law”. It’s just the right to use, not the ownership.]

[So, this story proves a truth. Things should belong to you first! ]

[In the future, I will work hard to earn money and buy myself a lot of antique jewelry. ]

Yu Xiangwan had already turned around, and he gave her an admiring look.

This time, she was right.

Usage rights and ownership rights are not the same.

But all this is based on her conscience.

She has a conscience like her mother, which is why she wants to keep it well.

It's so heartless that they sold it for money and future generations won't know about it.

However, since she didn't want to, he didn't want to force her.

Yu Xiangwan was relieved to see that Lu Yingzheng stopped pushing it, and used the excuse of going out to take a shower to avoid suspicion and let Lu Yingzheng put the things away.

Taking a shower in a strange house, Yu Xiangwan finally felt the reality of being married.

She realized belatedly that she and Lu Yingzheng would be lying in the same bed tonight.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough.

It is impossible to sleep in separate beds openly under the eyes of the elders.

She and he must have slept together before joining the army.

Yu Xiangwan was relieved.

Under the watchful eyes of his elders, Lu Yingzheng certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

When Lu Yingzheng saw Yu Xiangwan lying on the bed, his hand that was wiping her hair was slightly stunned.

Yu Xiangwan glanced over.

Lu Yingzheng was wearing army green long-sleeved shirt and trousers. He had an upright posture, tall stature, long legs and a good figure.

[It's just... I dress quite conservatively. ]

[Tsk tsk, I thought I could see eight-pack abs. ]

[Even if it doesn't work, it's good to take a look. 】

Lu Yingzheng concealed his expression by turning around.

What kind of lewd words are these!

Sure enough, she is still so... misbehaving!

This brave woman!

Lu Yingzheng looked down at his clothes and thought, well, they were safe.

In an atmosphere of mutual vigilance on both sides, the room fell into darkness, with only two faint breathing sounds remaining.

Yu Xiangwan found it difficult to find his bed.

She tossed and turned for a while but couldn't fall asleep.

[Ah, I can't sleep, is Lu Yingzheng asleep? ]

[It's so boring, the night is long, how about chatting? ]

Yu Xiangwan asked tentatively in a low voice: "Lu Yingzheng, are you asleep?"

Lu Yingzheng was helpless.

How could he fall asleep when he could hear her thoughts the whole time?

"No, what's up?"

Yu Xiangwan's tone became excited.

"Great, you're not asleep either, let's chat."

Lu Yingzheng: “…Okay.”

"What do you want to talk about?"???

Yu Xiangwan: "Wake me up early tomorrow and I'll make breakfast for Aunt Yu."

She didn't want to make breakfast for Zou Erhua after her wedding, but was willing to make it for Aunt Yu.

【Auntie Yu is sincere to me, and I am sincere in return.】

Lu Yingzheng was slightly moved.

Yu Xiangwan seems to be... not bad.

"No, I'll get up and help you. After all, you're just pretending, so you can just say you did it when the time comes."

Lu Yingzheng just wanted to agree to a marriage with Yu Xiangwan, and he did say that they wanted to pretend to be a couple in front of others, but privately, he did not force Yu Xiangwan.

Yu Xiangwan turned around in the dark and said, "It's not because of you. I just wanted to make it for Aunt Yu to make her happy."

【Don't be so self-indulgent. 】

Lu Yingzheng: ...

He is not being overly sentimental.

Forget it, it’s easiest to just agree to it.

"Besides, I'm definitely not doing this alone, so you can't be lazy."

"When I'm at home, my brother helps me prepare the food."

"A real chef always takes action at the last minute, understand? You are my assistant chef."

Lu, the new assistant chef, Ying Zheng: "So, you only need to do the last step?"

So what's the difference between doing it with him?

Yu Xiangwan agreed without any psychological pressure: "Yes."

“It’s called division of labor and cooperation.”

What else could Lu Yingzheng do? If he didn't agree, he would be afraid that he wouldn't be able to have breakfast until noon tomorrow.

"So what should I prepare?"

Yu Xiangwan: "What does Auntie like to eat?"

Lu Yingzheng: "Noodles."

He thought of the chewy fish balls he had last time, pursed his lips, as if savoring the taste, and added, "My mother praised the fish ball soup you made last time."

My mother really praised it highly.

Besides, he thought it was good.

"But if we don't catch any fish, it will be too late tomorrow morning," Yu Xiangwan worried.

"Leave it to me." Lu Yingzheng said immediately. He was helping in the kitchen anyway.

Lu Yingzheng thought about the method of fishing and was about to ask how many fish to catch when he heard steady breathing sounds from the side.

He gently touched his forehead.

No wonder it suddenly became quiet. ???

Just when Lu Yingzheng was about to go to sleep, something touched his arm without him noticing.

Then, the soft touch comes over a larger area.

His arms were suddenly grasped.

Lu Yingzheng's body froze.

He stiffened his neck and turned his head.

Just in time, the moonlight shone in through the window, allowing him to see the scene clearly.

Yu Xiangwan pressed her face against his biceps, her hands tightly grasping his forearm.

She was sleeping soundly, unaware that she was hugging his arms.

If Lu Yingzheng hadn’t been able to hear Yu Xiangwan’s thoughts and confirm that Yu Xiangwan was really asleep.

He almost wondered if Yu Xiangwan was deliberately getting close to him...

Lu Yingzheng exhaled slowly.

For some reason, he didn't want to wake up Yu Xiangwan.

He carefully pulled his arm out. This simple action seemed more strenuous to him than training.

When he was almost successful, Yu Xiangwan seemed to be able to track him and suddenly grabbed his palm which was about to be fully extended.

He even put his palm against her face!
