"I believe you. I was just asking casually." Tang Wenya knew that this kind of thing needed to be caught red-handed, and he wouldn't admit it if she asked him like that.
She never expected that Xu Qingning would seduce her husband behind her back; she was truly shameless!
Xu Qingning kept saying she didn't acknowledge her as her sister, but when she mentioned Xiao Tingshen, she kept calling him "brother-in-law," which disgusted her.
“My parents said this morning that they won’t be back for dinner tonight, so let’s go to the cafeteria together!” Xiao Tingshen put away his books, took the lock from the windowsill, and prepared to lock the door.
System: "Host, he wasn't telling the truth. He did go to see Xu Qingning and they made an appointment to meet. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Xu Qingning will definitely come to him."
"Ting Shen, let's eat at home!" Tang Wenya had the same idea. She reached out and put her arm around his neck, saying sweetly, "I want to eat your plain noodles. Let's cook some noodles."
She'll settle the score with Xu Qingning when she arrives.
She also wanted Xiao Tingshen to understand that she and he were family, and that Xu Qingning was only trying to sow discord between them.
"Wenya, I'm tired today and don't want to cook." Xiao Tingshen felt that Tang Wenya was acting strangely today. She used to be very reserved and rarely took the initiative to come to him.
He would go to her house, take a walk outside, and then bring her back.
She was always very reserved whenever she came, and she rarely spoke.
This time, however, she insisted that he cook her plain noodles, which was very unusual.
"Then I'll make it for you." Tang Wenya smiled at him and went to the kitchen. Their kitchen was a small room separated from the living room by a partition, and it used a honeycomb briquette stove, just like hers.
Xiao Tingshen had no choice but to follow him inside. He took out half a pack of noodles and two dried scallions from the drawer. His family rarely cooked, so he hurriedly washed the pot and poked the stove with an iron hook.
Heat the pan with cold oil, sauté chopped scallions, add water, and simmer over low heat on a honeycomb briquette for about five or six minutes until it boils. Tang Wenya then put the noodles into the pot, covered it, and started cooking the noodles.
The kitchen smelled of scallions, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Tang Wenya's heart gradually calmed down. Looking at Xiao Tingshen's handsome features, her heart pounded, and she couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kiss his slightly cool lips.
She and he have already registered their marriage; they are legally married.
Even if you're very close, it doesn't count as overstepping your bounds.
No matter how many tricks Xu Qingning has up her sleeve, she can't possibly take him away.
She just wanted Xiao Tingshen to know that she was the female lead, the one most compatible with him.
Xiao Tingshen did not expect Tang Wenya to kiss him first. Although he felt a little resistant, he did not push her away and let her kiss him.
He resisted because he didn't want to be intimate in the kitchen; in his mind, such things required an atmosphere and emotions.
Soon, he went from resisting to taking the initiative. He was a normal man and found it hard to resist this gentle approach.
Tang Wenya hooked her arms around his neck, keeping a close eye on the sounds outside the door. When she heard footsteps, she felt a surge of excitement. Xu Qingning, you've delivered yourself to my doorstep.
"Oh my god, what's that burnt smell!" Liu Yuzhen strode into the kitchen, where her son and Tang Wenya were kissing, and black smoke was billowing from the pot.
Tang Wenya was surprised to see Liu Yuzhen. She hurriedly let go of Xiao Tingshen and said with a blush, "Auntie, you're back."
"Look what you've done!" Liu Yuzhen said with a dark face as she lifted the pot lid, looked at the burnt noodles inside, glared at the two men, and stormed out.
She felt that she wasn't a mean-spirited mother-in-law; it was Tang Wenya who went too far.
Not only did she come to my door looking for a man, but she also did this kind of thing in the kitchen. Doesn't she have any shame?
Xiao Tingshen was a little embarrassed and said to Tang Wenya in a low voice, "You go back first. I'll tell my mom that I want to eat noodles."
"Then I'll be going now." Tang Wenya was even more embarrassed and didn't dare to say goodbye to Liu Yuzhen. She fled out the door as if she were escaping.
As soon as she stepped outside, the night breeze helped Tang Wenya calm down. She and Xiao Tingshen had already registered their marriage, and Xiao Tingshen was her man. What was wrong with her kissing her own man?
Even if my mother-in-law catches us, so what?
As the female lead, she should have the ability to control the situation. She came here specifically to discuss Xu Qingning and Xiao Tingshen's date. Since Xiao Tingshen doesn't admit it, she'll give Xu Qingning a warning.
After finishing their meal, Xu Qingning and Yang Yuelan sat on the new kang (heated brick bed) and cut the newly dyed fabrics. The green and yellow fabrics could be combined in several ways, creating a fresh and pleasing look when laid out on the kang.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company.
Tang Wenya pushed open the door and walked in, standing in front of the kang (a heated brick bed). She asked Xu Qingning rudely, "Xu Qingning, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Qingning's hands continued moving, methodically cutting the fabric.
"Why did you ask Xiao Tingshen to meet you at the cafeteria?" Xu Qingning had seen Xu Qingning go to the cafeteria to buy food with her own eyes.
Xu Qingning can't deny this.
"Tang Wenya, did a donkey kick your head in the countryside?" Xu Qingning stared at her with wide eyes. "I live in the same courtyard as Xiao Tingshen. Do I need to go to the cafeteria to see him?"
System: "She's lying. She did ask Xiao Tingshen to meet her at the cafeteria."
"Qingning, I know you like Xiao Tingshen, but you're married now, and he's your brother-in-law." Tang Wenya glanced at Yang Yuelan, her tone softening. "What you're doing is unfair to Zhao Jingyu, unfair to me, and even more unfair to your parents and your mother-in-law. Qingning, wake up!"
Yang Yuelan was completely confused.
She spent the whole day with Xu Qingning, and didn't see Xu Qingning go to see Xiao Tingshen.
It's true that Xu Qingning went to the cafeteria to buy food, but at that time she also picked a small purple flower from the flower bed outside the cafeteria to use for dyeing fabric.
How could Xu Qingning possibly have dated Xiao Tingshen in such a short time?
"Sister, the one who should wake up is you, not me." Xu Qingning continued cutting without looking up, and said indifferently, "I advise you not to believe your garbage system. I have a man and a child, why would I go to Xiao Tingshen? If you don't believe me, call Xiao Tingshen over, and I'll confront him face to face."
System: "Host, Xu Qingning is trying to sow discord between us. What I said is true."
“Wenya, Qingning has been with me all day. We even went to the cafeteria together. She didn’t go to see Xiao Tingshen. You can’t just say things like that.” Yang Yuelan understood and her impression of Tang Wenya worsened. Her daughter-in-law wasn’t that kind of person.
"Auntie, one day you'll understand what kind of person your daughter-in-law is." Tang Wenya snorted and slammed the door shut as she left.
"She's a lunatic!" Xu Qingning said calmly, secretly delighted. This was too interesting. She would ask her brother-in-law out again tomorrow.
The main problem is that Tang Wenya's system is constantly monitoring her, which is too annoying, so she has to take action and destroy it.
On the way, Tang Wenya asked the system, "Does Xiao Tingshen's mother have a bad impression of me?"
"Yes, she said you're indecent," the system said truthfully, "offering yourself to men for sex."
"What did Xiao Tingshen say?" Tang Wenya felt a tightness in her chest. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law mainly depends on the man. As long as the man is on her side, everything will be fine.
"Host, I can't detect any information about the male lead, so I don't know what he said," the system said guiltily.
At night, Xu Qingning continued to speak to the air: "Brother-in-law, you've finally arrived. I saw my sister go looking for you this afternoon, so I didn't go. Did my sister suspect you?"
This time the system was not blocked and the message was promptly delivered to Tang Wenya.
Tang Wenya sat up abruptly in bed. She was going to the tenement right now to catch them in the act of adultery. It was too much!
"Wenya, what's wrong?" Jiang Yumei, who was sleeping next to her daughter, was startled when her daughter suddenly sat up.
Thank you so much, Bookworm Beibei, for the monthly pass!
