Not long after, Aunt Wang brought over a bowl of dumplings.
"Wanwan, thank you! I'm so grateful to you today, otherwise I..."
As Wang Sao spoke, she began to sob softly again. Seeing this, her two children quickly ran over and hugged their mother.
"mother!"
Aunt Wang hugged her two children, feeling a deep sadness once again.
Xiang Wanwan handed her a tissue.
"Sister-in-law, this is Chen De's problem. You must not back down. Even if it's for the sake of the two children, you must persevere."
Aunt Wang wiped away her tears with a tissue, then looked up at Xiang Wanwan and nodded vigorously.
“I know. I just told Chen De that if he insists on having that woman, I’ll go to their leader’s place and make a scene. Then I’ll see if he’s still so smug.”
"Yes! I support you! That's it."
Chen De is a regimental commander, and if his reputation is bad, he probably won't be able to hold onto his position.
He's served in the military for so many years and finally got promoted; he certainly wouldn't throw it all away for a woman.
Moreover, Wang's wife had already arrived on the island with her two children, which many people on the island had seen.
As long as Sister Wang doesn't back down, he has no other choice!
Aunt Wang talked to her for a while longer before taking the child home.
After eating dumplings, Xiang Wanwan prepared to wash up.
She saw that there were lights in the room, but it seemed like there was no electricity during the day; no matter how she pressed the buttons, they wouldn't turn on.
Around 7 p.m., the phone suddenly came back on.
Xiang Wanwan felt relieved; thankfully, there was still electricity at night!
Otherwise, it would be quite frightening for her to be home alone in such darkness.
After electricity was available, Xiang Wanwan started washing up. Since there was no firewood at home and she didn't know how to start a fire, she could only use cold water to wash up quickly.
By the time she finished washing up, Lu Jingnian still hadn't returned.
Lying on the bed in the master bedroom, Xiang Wanwan was somewhat lost in thought, smelling the scent of that man.
She recalled Lu Jingnian's indifference towards her during the day. From now on, she would treat him like an NPC. As long as he didn't go too far, she could cook for him at home.
As she was thinking, the room suddenly went dark—the power had gone out!
I checked the time by the moonlight; it was nine o'clock.
Great, it turns out that electricity is only available here from 7 pm to 9 pm.
Xiang Wanwan thought she would have trouble sleeping on her first night on the island, but she actually fell asleep while smelling Lu Jingnian's scent.
When Lu Jingnian returned, it was already 10 p.m.
He subconsciously slowed his steps, pushed open the bedroom door, and the bright moonlight slanted into the room, illuminating the woman on the bed.
Lu Jingnian looked at her curled up on the bed, her skin fair and delicate, like a porcelain doll.
He just stared at it, momentarily lost in thought, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.
Suddenly, Xiang Wanwan turned around and threw off the blanket covering her.
Lu Jingnian walked over quietly and carefully covered her with the blanket.
In fact, his feelings towards his wife were quite complicated.
They got married three years ago because their families arranged it and his mother urged them to. After the marriage, he came to the island, and the two of them hardly ever saw each other.
His impression of Xiang Wanwan was still from three years ago; in his memory, she had a bad temper and was spoiled.
But when I saw her today, she seemed different from before.
He watched for a while longer, then suddenly Xiang Wanwan kicked off the blanket she had just covered herself with.
Because it was summer, Xiang Wanwan was wearing a silk nightgown, and when she kicked it off, her snow-white thighs were completely exposed.
Lu Jingnian looked at the white hair in front of him and suddenly felt a tightness in his throat.
Then he pulled the blanket over her gently. As he covered her up, his fingers accidentally touched Xiang Wanwan's skin, and Lu Jingnian quickly withdrew his fingers.
After doing all this, a light sweat appeared on his forehead. He smiled self-deprecatingly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He prided himself on his excellent self-control, but he almost lost it here!
