"You dare!" Su Xueli gritted her teeth.
Wei Mingshen said aggrievedly, "Why can you complain when you're wronged at my house, but I can't complain when I'm wronged at your house? Where is justice?!"
Su Xueli glanced at the children who had come out to play after eating their fill and whispered a scolding to him, "Shut up, there are people outside."
Wei Mingshen got even more excited, "If you want me to shut up, come over and rub my head to lull me to sleep."
Su Xueli rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're getting too big for your britches, aren't you? You're so annoying."
As he spoke, he sat on the edge of the bed and began pressing his temples.
Wei Mingshen grinned with his eyes closed, "My wife is the best."
This guy's smile was even more captivating, and Su Xueli couldn't resist pinching his cheek.
"Hmm, you're flirting with me!" He opened his eyes and grabbed her hand.
Su Xueli felt like she'd been caught red-handed. Her face flushed, and she shook off his hand, saying, "I was just teasing you, so what?"
Wei Mingshen blinked and said helplessly, "Let them flirt with me, what can I do? It's your room, and your bed, I can't complain."
Su Xueli patted him with a smile, "Are you still going to sleep or not? If you're not going to sleep, I won't massage you anymore. Go out and talk to your sisters-in-law."
"Don't go!" Wei Mingshen grabbed her hand.
"Why are you babbling nonsense to those stupid women? Just stay with me."
He closed his eyes as he spoke.
Su Xueli felt a pang of tenderness and continued to massage his temples.
"Oh, the young couple are so affectionate. They've been hiding inside talking again since we last met," came the teasing voice of the eldest cousin's wife from outside.
Su Xueli said to the outside, "He drank too much and has a headache. I'll massage it for him and let him sleep for a while, sister-in-law."
The eldest cousin's wife came in, striking up a conversation, and looked at Wei Mingshen on the bed, saying, "New son-in-law, your cousin asked me to call you over for a drink. How come you're so weak? You're lying in bed after just a few drinks? Hehehe..."
This is clearly a case of watching someone make a fool of themselves.
Su Xueli replied, "Sister-in-law, my Mingshen doesn't drink much, and I don't allow him to drink too much either."
My cousin's wife chuckled lewdly for a while, then covered her mouth and whispered, "You really shouldn't drink too much. You two know that; it's bad for the baby..."
Su Xueli's fingers froze on Wei Mingshen's temple, and Wei Mingshen frowned slightly.
She then smiled slightly and said to her eldest cousin-in-law, "You're right, sister-in-law. Go out and tell your cousins that Ming Shen has a headache and wants to sleep for a while. Let them eat and drink to their heart's content."
The eldest cousin's wife glanced greedily at Wei Mingshen's handsome face one last time, then chuckled and left.
As soon as she left, Wei Mingshen grasped Su Xueli's hand and said gently, "Xueli, thank you."
Su Xueli asked, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for protecting me and treating me like your own husband."
His tone was very sincere, and Su Xueli's heart stirred, but she remained silent.
She realized that she was unconsciously protecting him, just like in her past life.
Thinking of this, her heart sank again, and she said retaliatoryly, "What do you mean by protecting you? Don't flatter yourself, I was just protecting my own face."
This guy wasn't discouraged at all, and even said with a grin, "Protecting your face is protecting my face, we're one."
“Who’s one with you?” Su Xueli said through gritted teeth.
"Go to sleep, or I won't rub your skin anymore."
Wei Mingshen dared not speak again, and obediently closed his eyes and shut his mouth.
This guy has excellent sleep quality; he falls asleep the moment his head hits the pillow, so he started making snoring noises after a while.
Su Xueli let go of his hand, looking at the man who had filled her small bed completely, and felt a mix of emotions again...
