Zheng Niannian closed her eyes and proactively removed her clothes.
Having chosen this path, she would not give up halfway.
Because from any angle, Mu Baicheng was the most ideal candidate for a husband, without a doubt.
Moreover,
she was just an ominous person who had lost her husband.
In the past, she did not believe in fate.
Nor did she feel inferior just because her husband had died.
But later, she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were.
In this circle,
if a man lost his wife, he could still marry a woman from a family of equal social status, even a pure and spotless young lady from a wealthy family, especially a man of noble birth like Mu Baicheng.
There were countless people outside eyeing him with desire.
What about women?
If a woman’s husband died, she might even be labeled as ill-omened.
She might even be barred from returning to her parents’ home for the New Year.
Over these years, Zheng Niannian had desperately longed for a home; she hoped to spend New Year’s Eve with family rather than watching the lights outside the window all alone.
But was she unwilling to marry men who were less capable or from a lesser family than herself?
Now that she had finally encountered Mu Baicheng, Zheng Niannian could only hold on to him tightly.
Mu Baicheng was not only from a good family, but his character was also one in a hundred.
Though he still had someone else in his heart for now.
But Zheng Niannian believed that once they registered their marriage, Mu Baicheng would definitely concentrate on her.
Thinking of the days after the marriage registration, Zheng Niannian’s smile became even more evident; she embraced Mu Baicheng, and they both fell onto the bed.
The curtains were drawn.
In the dim light, two figures collided.
...
Lin Guixiang was packing things to take abroad.
Lin Wu was doing her homework in a corner of the living room.
With a serious look in her eyes.
The sunlight streamed through the window, casting a faint glow on her face, adding a touch of coolness.
Ding-ling-ling—
Just then, a series of urgent phone rings erupted.
With her right hand writing and left hand answering the phone, Lin Wu said, "Hello."
"Sister Lin, it’s me."
Xue Jinghao’s voice came through the phone.
"What’s up?" Lin Wu asked.
Xue Jinghao then said, "Are you up for some barbecue tonight?"
Lin Wu glanced at the remaining homework, "No."
No?
Xue Jinghao’s face was a picture of confusion; Lin Wu’s favorite was barbecue, so was the sun rising from the west today?
"Why not?"
"I haven’t finished my homework."
Xue Jinghao was momentarily stunned.
Perhaps because Lin Wu usually seemed so independent, he had forgotten that Lin Wu was not only a high school student but also one who was about to take the college entrance exams.
"Come on, Sister Lin~" Xue Jinghao’s voice was sultry, "If you can’t finish, Third Brother and I can help you write it."
"The handwriting will be different."
"We can imitate it," Xue Jinghao continued, "We guarantee that your teacher won’t be able to tell. Just bring your backpack with you. Besides, it’s just a barbecue, it won’t take too much time."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu seriously considered it while biting her pen.
Xue Jinghao’s words made some sense.
How long could a meal take?
Besides, she had already been catching up on homework all afternoon. A beautiful and kind fairy only wanted to reward herself with some barbecue; what was wrong with that?
"Send me the address," Lin Wu said.
"Okay! I’ll send it to you on WeChat right away."
After hanging up, Xue Jinghao looked at Lu Ye excitedly and said, "Third Brother! It’s settled! Sister Lin will join us for the barbecue."
Lu Ye snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, his voice still as cold as ever, "Unnecessary."
He seemed as if he didn’t care whether Lin Wu would come or not.
Xue Jinghao: "..."
Before Xue Jinghao could speak, Lu Ye added, "I’m not going to help her with her homework."
"Third Brother, do you actually like Sister Lin or not?" Xue Jinghao asked.
Lu Ye couldn’t be bothered to answer the question, but his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes were deep.
Lin Wu immediately packed her homework into her backpack, "Mom, I’m going out for barbecue tonight."
"Alright, but come back early," Lin Guixiang said.
She never interfered with her daughter’s circle of friends because she knew her daughter was sensible.
Many times, Lin Wu was even more decisive than her, the mother.
With that, Lin Guixiang put down the things in her hands and picked up the car keys, "Xiao Wu, let me drive you."
"Yes, please," Lin Wu nodded.
Lin Guixiang put aside the things she was handling and picked up the car keys.
The gourmet spot discovered by Xue Jinghao was always in some obscure little corner.
This was a farmstead.
Located on the outskirts of Qing City.
It took an hour’s drive.
Fortunately, Lin Guixiang was not busy today.
