Chapter 149: Bullying Her

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangnian felt a mix of pride and emotion.

This reserved and deep man had completely opened up to her, willing to share the feelings he had kept hidden in his heart.

At the same time, she also felt some dissatisfaction.

She pushed away Cheng Jingmo’s hand, which was tracing her features, and said, “Cheng Jingmo, you men are so realistic! Even though you like me, as soon as you knew there was no future for us, you went off to find someone else!”

Cheng Jingmo frowned, looking at her in confusion.

Yu Xiangnian continued, “After I went abroad, you went on dates with Wu Xiaomin!”

Cheng Jingmo corrected her, “I didn’t date her; I only met her four times through an introduction by the political commissar.”

“See! You remember that so clearly!” Yu Xiangnian pouted, displeased. “If she had been as pretty as me, you would have definitely fallen for her and might even have gotten married.”

“That wouldn’t have happened,” Cheng Jingmo’s voice was very gentle. “I couldn’t be interested in anyone other than you.”

Yu Xiangnian pouted, not believing him.

Cheng Jingmo took Yu Xiangnian’s hand and kissed it. “I really wouldn’t. I went on those dates to force you to come back.”

“Huh?”

Cheng Jingmo patiently explained, “Over the years, many people have tried to introduce me to others, but I didn’t meet any of them. I agreed to the political commissar’s introduction because I knew Yu Xiangyang would definitely tell your parents that I went on blind dates. Your parents, worried that I might end up with someone else, would naturally pressure you to come back.”

As expected, he was right.

During that time, Yu Xiangyang frequently inquired about his progress with Wu Xiaomin.

And indeed, Yu Xiangnian returned after three months.

“You even schemed against Yu Xiangyang! How could you be so scheming!” Yu Xiangnian pinched Cheng Jingmo’s ear. “Since you don’t want anyone but me, why didn’t you just wait for me to come back?”

“I didn’t want to wait any longer,” Cheng Jingmo gently caressed her face, looking at her with deep affection.

“Xiangnian, after you left, I was so anxious that you filled my dreams. I wanted to make one last effort. If you didn’t come back, I would have given up. I wouldn’t marry anyone else, but I couldn’t live on fantasies alone; I had to face reality.”

“You were dreaming about me?” Yu Xiangnian chuckled. “Did you have a spring dream?”

Cheng Jingmo’s tan face turned even darker, “…”

Yu Xiangnian leaned in with a smile and whispered near his ear, “Were the things from last night practiced a hundred times in your dreams?”

Cheng Jingmo flipped her over and pressed her beneath him. “There are still many things left to try from the dream.”

Saying that, he eagerly kissed Yu Xiangnian’s lips.

“Mm…” Yu Xiangnian took the chance to catch her breath and said, “I still have something to say.”

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Cheng Jingmo’s hands were already becoming restless, igniting passion.

At the crucial moment, Yu Xiangnian took out something she had just bought today from under the pillow.

“I’m not planning to have children for now,” Yu Xiangnian said, her breathing uneven. “We’ll use this from now on.”

Cheng Jingmo had only heard about such things before; it was his first time seeing one in person.

He looked shocked and somewhat embarrassed, “I don’t know how to use it.”

Yu Xiangnian didn’t laugh at him. She kissed his lips and reassured him, “I’ll help you.”

Yu Xiangnian’s hands were smooth and soft as they touched him.

He became even more embarrassed.

That night, Yu Xiangnian couldn’t sleep.

When the first military horn sounded, Cheng Jingmo was kissing her sweat-drenched hairline with great reluctance.

Yu Xiangnian fell asleep the next moment.

After getting up, Cheng Jingmo dressed Yu Xiangnian in pajamas and pants, washed up quickly himself, and went to exercise.

He proved with his actions that Dong Minghao was wrong.

Even if he didn’t hold back, he could maintain this pace.

After breakfast, he took a shower and then woke up Xiao Jie.

As they ate breakfast, Xiao Jie asked, “Uncle, did you argue with Aunt last night?”

Cheng Jingmo replied, “No.”

“I heard her crying when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.”

Cheng Jingmo seemed to hear Yu Xiangnian’s soft murmuring.

The sound was as gentle as water and very pleasing.

He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment and said, “She didn’t cry.”

Xiao Jie, looking serious, said, “Don’t bully my aunt.”

Cheng Jingmo replied, “I would never bully her.”

How could he bear to bully her!

Yu Xiangnian, exhausted from last night, slept until the afternoon.

When she got up, her legs were so sore she could barely stand.

She thought to herself: A man who’s just started his passion is truly frightening. Out of ten, he used five.

Even more frightening was that shortly after dinner, Cheng Jingmo urged Xiao Jie to go to bed.

Before going to sleep, Xiao Jie looked at Yu Xiangnian with some concern. “Aunt, if Uncle bullies you, let me know, and I’ll help you.”

Cheng Jingmo: “…”

Had Xiao Jie started to trust Yu Xiangnian over him after just three months away?!

Yu Xiangnian was taken aback, her fair face turning pink.

She guessed that Xiao Jie must have heard noises last night.

“Thank you. Your uncle didn’t bully me. He was just showing me how much he loves me, and I told him the same.”

Hearing this, Xiao Jie felt reassured and obediently went back to his room.

Once Xiao Jie was in his room, Yu Xiangnian also felt relieved.

But as she turned around, she met Cheng Jingmo’s intense gaze.

Yu Xiangnian looked at him warily. “Cheng Jingmo, don’t look at me like that!”

Her legs were still sore!

Cheng Jingmo’s eyes were filled with tenderness. “Xiangnian, you’re better at educating children than I am.”

Their future children would surely be very well-raised and outstanding under Yu Xiangnian’s guidance.

“Of course!” Yu Xiangnian said, not at all modest. After a pause, she lowered her voice and added, “We should keep the noise down from now on.”

“Okay,” Cheng Jingmo said. “Let’s go back to the room, and I’ll help you massage your legs.”

When he came back from work, Cheng Jingmo noticed that Yu Xiangnian was walking awkwardly.

He could tell without thinking that she had been through a lot last night.

Yu Xiangnian: “…”

So, the reason for urging Xiao Jie to go to bed was actually to help her with her sore legs. She had misunderstood!

In bed, Yu Xiangnian lay flat with her legs resting on Cheng Jingmo’s lap.

Cheng Jingmo sat, carefully massaging her legs.

“Your technique is good, and the pressure is just right,” Yu Xiangnian said with her eyes closed and a contented expression. “By the way, during the time you were away, your family sent a telegram.”

She didn’t see Cheng Jingmo’s eyes flicker as he asked, “What did they say?”

Yu Xiangnian replied, “They asked about your well-being. I replied to them and also sent three months’ worth of money.”

“Thank you,” Cheng Jingmo said. “How did you know the address?”

Yu Xiangnian, not wanting to discuss how she had arranged for assistance, simply said, “I have my own methods.”

“Cheng Jingmo, let’s go visit your home,” Yu Xiangnian said, enjoying the massage with her eyes closed. “You haven’t seen your family in ten years. I should also meet your parents and family.”
