Madam Gu didn’t work, and usually had nothing much to do.

After staying here for two days, she also visited Qiao Wanqing’s vegetarian restaurant and sampled the dishes.

Coincidentally, the day Madam Gu visited, the weather was beautiful, though it was a weekday with few customers in the restaurant.

That day, a tour group of over 20 people arrived, along with some other scattered guests, unexpectedly creating a lively atmosphere in the vegetarian restaurant.

Although Madam Gu didn’t expect her daughter-in-law to have industrious hands, she was pleased to see the restaurant doing so well.

So, sometimes people’s thoughts are quite unpredictable.

On the day Madam Gu left, since she seemed to like the vegetables from her home, Qiao Wanqing asked if she wanted to take some back.

Knowing that Madam Gu had a cook at home, she could take the fresh ones back to cook.

Madam Gu didn’t refuse.

In addition to vegetables, Qiao Wanqing also prepared two plump chickens, a basket of goose eggs, and some chicken mushroom oil made last time for her to take back, so that Mr.Gu(Father of Yanqing) could also taste it.

Before Madam Gu got on the car, she hugged and kissed Kouko repeatedly, reluctant to leave.

Qiao Wanqing was pleasantly surprised by Madam. Gu’s affection for Kouko.

Delighted, she promised to bring Kouko over to stay for a few days in early July.

Reluctantly, Madam Gu finally left.

After Madam Gu’s car drove away, the three of them slowly walked back home.

Kouko was at an age where he loved playing and didn’t want to be held, running around on his own.

As Qiao Wanqing kept an eye on him, she said to Gu Yanqing, “Is it not good for us to do this?”

Madam Gu loved her grandson so much, and if they didn’t visit more often, Qiao Wanqing felt a bit guilty.

“Isn’t this how it always is?” Gu Yanqing turned to her, smiling ambiguously. “Or do you want to live under the same roof as your mother-in-law?”

“I definitely don’t want that!”

God knows how restrained Madam Gu felt these past two days. It was like she was a guest in her own home, rather than feeling at ease.

Although Madam Gu was not difficult to get along with, and with the playful little Kouko lightening the mood, she just couldn’t relax.

Even she couldn’t explain why.

“Late Evening,” Gu Yanqing called her.

“Hmm?”

“Thank you.”

Gu Yanqing could tell that during the past few days his mother was there, Qiao Wanqing had been doing her best to take good care of her.

Whenever Madam Gu found something uncomfortable or unfamiliar, she would patiently change it for her.

Qiao Wanqing walked quickly to him, put her arms around his shoulders, and playfully said, “Show me some real action.”

Gu Yanqing understood and leaned down to kiss her.

But just as he was about to touch her lips, Qiao Wanqing blocked his mouth with her hand.

Qiao Wanqing mischievously stepped back and said, “I meant a material reward, not you taking advantage of me.”

Gu Yanqing, amused by her teasing, asked, “What kind of material reward?”

“For example…”

“For example, washing the dishes for a week?”

Gu Yanqing hesitated.

“What,” Qiao Wanqing raised an eyebrow, “can’t you do that?”

“No problem, but,” Gu Yanqing moved closer, wrapping his arms around her waist, “I’m still going to take advantage of you.”

With that, he kissed her.

In broad daylight, kissing on the street made Qiao Wanqing feel particularly embarrassed, yet for some reason, a unique feeling surged from her heart, spreading throughout her body.

Gu Yanqing’s kissing skills had improved rapidly.

He used to bump into her teeth, but now he had mastered the rhythm completely, his wet tongue making its way in.

Just as they reached the door, he encountered her teeth blocking his invasion.

Gu Yanqing’s hand, which was wrapped around her waist, slowly moved down to her firm buttocks, giving it a mischievous squeeze.

Qiao Wanqing let out a small “Ah,” and his tongue immediately took advantage of the opening.

So shameless, Qiao Wanqing thought as she became dazed by the kiss.

Her oxygen-deprived brain quickly lost the ability to think.

Compared to their usual brief kisses, this one was hot and intense, as if he wanted to devour her.

Qiao Wanqing felt two surges of heat.

One surged upward, lifting her off the ground and making her feel like she was floating on a cloud.

She clung tightly to the man kissing her to avoid falling.

The other surged downward, like an electric current, heating her lower abdomen, making her legs weak, and causing a tingling, itchy sensation in a place she couldn’t describe.

She couldn’t help but tense up, letting out a few soft sounds between her lips, which only made the man kissing her want to treat her even more intensely.

When they finally broke apart, Qiao Wanqing was a bit emotional, leaning against his chest and catching her breath.

The feeling was so unfamiliar and made her inexplicably ashamed.

She never knew kissing could be so exciting and sensual.

“Beast,” Qiao Wanqing murmured.

Gu Yanqing was also breathing heavily.

He kissed her earlobe and said, “Only for you…”

They quietly embraced for a while until they calmed down.

Just as they were about to head back, they realized: Where was Kouko?!

The two of them were startled and quickly split up to search.

They finally found Kouko, who had turned into a little mudball, at the base of their wall.

This little guy had somehow managed to get back home on his own and happily played with the mud when no one was watching.

Qiao Wanqing, still shaken, hugged him tightly.

He had scared her to death.

Koko handed her a clump of mud and said, “Mommy, here.”

“This is dirty, you can’t play with it, be good,” she said.

Kouko looked up, his face also covered in mud, resembling a little kitten.

Qiao Wanqing shook Kouko’s little hand, letting the mud fall off. “Did you eat any of this? Open your mouth and let Mommy see.”

Kouko was still very young and couldn’t tell if something was good to eat or not.

Anything that caught his interest would go straight into his mouth to taste, and if it was bad, he’d spit it out.

Last time, a chicken wandered into the yard and left a mess, and Kouko tried to eat it.

That made Qiao Wanqing so angry that she obsessively cleaned the yard every day, worried that her son would eat something he shouldn’t while playing.

This time, Kouko obediently opened his mouth: “Ah~”

Seeing his mouth was clean, Qiao Wanqing felt relieved.

Gu Yanqing poked Kouko’s muddy cheek and said, “Little dirty monster!”

Kouko imitated him, poking his own face and saying, “Little… dirty… monster.”

This action made both of them laugh, and Qiao Wanqing took Koko to wash his face and hands.

Originally, asking Gu Yanqing to wash the dishes was just to tease him, but in the afternoon, Chen Feng delivered a dishwasher.

Probably worried that Qiao Wanqing might ask him to sweep the floor too, he also brought a robot vacuum cleaner.

Qiao Wanqing was amused by his actions. How much did he dislike doing chores?

However, she didn’t seriously expect Gu Yanqing to do any housework.

Someone like him, born to be in a high position, wasn’t meant to do these things himself.

She wasn’t foolish enough to test his love for her with chores.

In the evening, Qiao Wanqing put Koko to sleep and lay in bed herself, her mind drifting back to that morning’s kiss.

She couldn’t help but smile sweetly before closing her eyes to sleep.

Half-asleep, Qiao Wanqing felt someone climbing into her bed, startling her.

Just as she was about to speak, her mouth was covered, and she felt a familiar kiss.

It was Gu Yanqing!

How did he get in here?

But soon, Qiao Wanqing couldn’t think about how he got in anymore.

He pressed down on her, kissing her, but he was no longer satisfied with just kissing.

His hands roamed her body, and his hot breath moved to her burning earlobe.

His usually cool voice was now filled with intense desire.

“Late Evening, I want to…”

What he wanted was obvious.

Qiao Wanqing wanted to say she wasn’t ready, but it was like her throat was being squeezed, and she couldn’t speak.

She could only let him slowly unbutton her clothes…

After that, Qiao Wanqing couldn’t remember clearly. All she knew was that every cell in her body craved him.

Every touch elicited the most sensitive reactions, making her feel like her body wasn’t her own.

Only the pleasure was hers, rushing to her brain and taking her to the height of joy.

The man didn’t seem to go all the way, but he still brought her to an intense peak, making her whole body tremble…

“Mm.”

With a soft moan, Qiao Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes, seeing the dark ceiling above her.

The warm, dim light from the bedside lamp danced in her hazy vision.

Kouko was sleeping peacefully next to her, his little mouth slightly pouting as if someone had wronged him.

There was no sign of Gu Yanqing in the room.

This realization made Qiao Wanqing’s already flushed face turn even redder.

She, she, she… she had just had such an erotic dream.

The key point was, she never had such thoughts about Gu Yanqing.

Why did she have such an embarrassing dream?

Qiao Wanqing felt utterly embarrassed.

Although she had read many romance novels, it was all just reading.

She had never even watched those kinds of movies, so how could…

She buried her head under the covers, feeling too ashamed to face anyone.

After all… she was still a pure and innocent girl, even if she was starting to doubt it herself.

After feeling annoyed and embarrassed for a while, Qiao Wanqing got up and changed her clothes.

The result of this was that she didn’t sleep well all night.

The next day.

Gu Yanqing, who had been openly staying at Qiao Wanqing’s place these past few days, woke up earlier than usual.

Kouko was still asleep, and Qiao Wanqing was in the kitchen making breakfast.

Since it was summer, Qiao Wanqing was wearing a dress that highlighted her shapely figure, with a small apron tied around her waist.

Seeing her from behind, Gu Yanqing couldn’t resist walking over and hugging her from behind. “Good mor—”

He didn’t even get to finish his sentence before Qiao Wanqing abruptly broke free from his embrace.

She stepped back quickly, like she had been shocked, putting a safe distance between them.

“What’s wrong?”

Gu Yanqing, who had intended to be affectionate with his girlfriend in the morning, found her holding a spatula as if it were a weapon, signaling for him to stay away.

He found it amusing and asked.

“I…” Qiao Wanqing knew her reaction was too extreme, but thinking about that dream last night made her feel awkward and ashamed to face Gu Yanqing.

It was so embarrassing.

“I wanted you to check if Kouko is awake,” Qiao Wanqing made up an excuse.

“Okay,” Gu Yanqing agreed but didn’t leave immediately.

Noticing her dark circles, he frowned slightly, “Didn’t sleep well last night?”

“Y-yeah,” Qiao Wanqing’s voice was shaky.

Gu Yanqing chuckled, “Were you thinking about me?”

“…” Qiao Wanqing was mortified, feeling exposed.

She snapped, “Go quickly!”

Gu Yanqing, baffled by his girlfriend’s strange behavior, wondered what he had done wrong.

Maybe women really do have those days every month, as they say?

Yes, that must be it.

Gu Yanqing walked into Qiao Wanqing’s room and found that Koko was indeed awake.

Since the nights in the village were still a bit cool, Qiao Wanqing had put little socks on him for bed.

The socks were white with red toes.

Koukou, fascinated by the red toes, was holding his little foot and chewing on the red part when Gu Yanqing walked in.

The funny part was that Kouko’s body was so flexible that he could actually reach his little toes with his mouth, and he was happily chewing on them, drooling all over.

Gu Yanqing couldn’t help but laugh at the sight.

He walked over and picked Kouko up, “Baby, why are you so dirty?”

Kouko, enjoying his foot-chewing, wasn’t happy about being picked up.

He reached towards the bed, making “ah ah” sounds, indicating he wanted to go back to chewing.

When Gu Yanqing didn’t put him down, he started to cry.

Gu Yanqing had no choice but to put him back down.

He tried to take Koko’s socks off, thinking that without the socks, Kouko would lose interest.

But Kouko happily grabbed his little foot and stretched it towards Gu Yanqing’s mouth, clearly wanting to share his foot-chewing joy with his dad!

Gu Yanqing: “…”
