Cheng Xiao Kui's ears were itchy, and she instinctively backed away. "What...what happened to us?"
Brother, thanks for keeping me company! I just soaked my feet, they're not cold anymore!
When Si Muyang heard the word "brother," the surging passion in his body suddenly felt like it had been doused with cold water!
My heart, which was just hanging in suspense, is now completely dead!
Cheng Xiao Kui only treats him as a brother!
This idea kept playing in his mind over and over again.
He reached out and gently patted Cheng Xiao Kui's forehead, saying, "Sleep well, I'll protect you!"
Cheng Xiaokui nodded, turned around, faced away from Si Muyang, and closed her eyes.
Even now, her heart was still pounding wildly. What a close call! She almost actually forced herself on Si Muyang!
Forehead!
The yaoi fangirl is really into it; she can't stand pretty boys...
Fortunately, Cheng Xiao Kui has excellent sleep quality; she falls asleep as soon as she closes her eyes and doesn't even hesitate for two seconds.
Si Muyang listened to the faint, even breathing of the girl in the air, and he knew that Cheng Xiaokui was asleep.
He pressed his fingers to his throbbing temples. What a close call! He almost raped Cheng Xiao Kui…
How can this girl be so lecherous yet so cowardly?!
Why didn't they just do it back then?!
He didn't say no...
Si Muyang remained troubled until very late at night before finally falling asleep.
This was probably the hardest night he'd ever slept...
The next morning, Cheng Xiaokui was awakened by the loud, enthusiastic laughter of the aunties and grandmas who were working outside.
The aunties and grandmas are all very capable workers, and they are also very straightforward. They start working as soon as they arrive without any hesitation or sparing of their energy.
Of course, Cheng Xiao Kui also paid a high salary. These housewives who stayed at home all year round did not earn a penny and had to be mindful of their husbands' moods from time to time.
But things are different now!
Since they were able to earn money themselves, and even more than men, they have become more assertive and confident in their speech at home!
Cheng Xiao Kui opened her eyes and looked at the empty bed next to her; Si Muyang was not there.
She got out of bed to wash up, combing her hair as she went out of the room to ask the aunties and older women if they had seen Si Muyang.
The first woman to arrive told Cheng Xiaokui that when she arrived, Si Muyang was washing up in the yard. After seeing her, Si Muyang left with two of his soldiers.
To everyone else, Si Muyang and Cheng Xiaokui were a married couple; no one knew that they were actually divorced.
Today is the day Song Jingchuan goes to see Zhang Weidong. Cheng Xiaokui is wondering how much of a chance Song Jingchuan has of winning.
I didn't know until I thought about it, and when I did, I was shocked. My heart was hanging in suspense, and I felt like I was about to die.
She sat on a small stool, looking at the empire she had built from scratch.
With her family's wealth, she could become one of the richest women in the entire capital city in just a few years.
It's a pity she had so little time...
"Mommy! Mommy!"
Two childish voices came from outside the courtyard.
Immediately after, Cheng Xiao Kui saw He Xiao Long Bao running towards her!
A child's smile is the most healing medicine in the world.
Cheng Xiao Kui hugged Xiao Long Bao with one arm and held her little hand with the other.
It wasn't that she didn't want to hug Xiaolongbao; it was that Xiaolongbao wouldn't let her at all.
Xiao Long Bao always prides himself on being a little man, so he doesn't like being hugged.
Cheng Xiao Kui asked, "Why did you all come here? Where's Grandma? Did you come to tell Grandma?"
Lin Qiuru walked into the yard carrying a thermos and said, "I told them, I told them, I brought them here!"
You've only been here for a day, and they've been thinking about you so much at home, they've been nagging me about it until my ears are calloused!
Have you eaten? I brought you pork rib noodles! There are lots of pork ribs in it!
Cheng Xiao Kui stood up and ran towards Lin Qiu Ru. She grabbed Lin Qiu Ru's hand and said, "Mom, I missed you too! I missed you so much! What I missed most was your delicious cooking!"
Lin Qiuru reached out and flicked Cheng Xiaokui's nose. "I knew you were being greedy, you little glutton. Xiaobao, go get the small table, and get the bowls and chopsticks!"
The two children immediately obeyed and ran into the kitchen to find bowls and chopsticks.
Lin Qiuru poured the pork rib noodles from the thermos into a bowl, took out the pork ribs, and placed them on a plate.
Pork ribs boiled in water, topped with soy sauce, chili oil, and a sprinkle of garlic juice, are incredibly fragrant!
Cheng Xiao Kui slurped up a mouthful of noodles, drank a sip of soup, and ate a big bite of pork ribs. It smelled delicious!
She said to Lin Qiuru, "Mom, your pork rib noodles smell so good! I've never had such delicious pork rib noodles before!"
Lin Qiuru said, "It's inconvenient for you to cook here all by yourself. I'll bring you food every morning from now on."
As the aunties and grandmas skewered meat, they laughed and said, "Look at her, she's a rare gem among mothers-in-law."
"Aunt Zhang, Xiao Kui is a rare and wonderful daughter-in-law!"
"A daughter-in-law like this is hard to find even with a lantern; she's beautiful, has a great personality, and can earn money!"
"The house over there with Okra, Xiao Kui earned that money too, right? Tsk tsk, look at those two sisters. The older sister helped out, and the younger sister stood on her own two feet!"
Cheng Xiao Kui laughed and said, "I'm not that good. I'm just average, third in the world!"
Her words made everyone laugh.
Lin Qiuru lowered her voice and asked Cheng Xiaokui, "Did Muyang stay here last night?"
Cheng Xiaokui nodded and said, "Yes. Mu Yang said you asked him to stay with me. He was worried that I wouldn't be safe here alone."
You were so thoughtful! Last night we actually caught three thieves trying to break in through a window to steal money!
Lin Qiuru said, "You should keep your money in the bank. It's not safe to keep it at home! And it's not safe for you to live alone!"
I wonder if Mu Yang needs to live in the military camp every day. If he doesn't, that would be great; he could come back to be with you every day.
Cheng Xiaokui said, "No need. He said he'd get me two dogs. With two big dogs guarding the house, no one will dare steal anything from me!"
Lin Qiuru's expression changed, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly.
If Si Muyang were in front of her, she would definitely slap him across the face!
Why are you getting a dog?!
Can't he come by himself?!
Didn't a dog steal my spot?!
She still longed for the day when Si Muyang and Cheng Xiaokui would remarry!
After finishing breakfast, Cheng Xiao Kui went out with her mother-in-law to deposit money at the bank.
Both of them earn a lot of money every day now, so it's not safe to keep the money in their hands; it's better to save it!
Just as she and her mother-in-law reached the bank entrance, she unexpectedly saw a girl kneeling on the ground begging for food, and a few thugs picking up stones from the ground and slashing at the girl!
Cheng Xiao Kui ran over and chased away the group of rascals. She then reached out and pulled the girl who was huddled under the big tree.
"Young lady, are you alright?"
The girl weakly raised her head, her face covered in dust. It was clear that she had tried her best to comb her hair neatly, but it was still covered in dust.
When the girl saw Cheng Xiao Kui, she cried and said, "I'm alright! Girl, thank you for saving me. Do you need any help? Just provide food and lodging, I don't need anything else!"
She kowtowed to Cheng Xiao Kui as she spoke!
