Chapter 21: Regarding Means, She’s Still a Little Naive

Shen Yuchu furrowed her brows, her beautiful lips moving slightly.

Lin Xuan watched her, finally slowly leaning towards Shen Yuchu’s cheek. His warm breath sprayed onto her face.

Huff, huff…

Lin Xuan himself felt short of breath.

She was his wife.

She was his spouse.

Yes, she was his.

Therefore… therefore everything about her was his.

Lin Xuan leaned closer, slightly parting his lips. His throat was dry, as if he desperately needed something to moisten it.

Lin Xuan slowly approached her, propping himself up with one hand to prevent Shen Yuchu from suddenly waking up.

Huff, huff…

He looked at Shen Yuchu up close, his breathing extremely rapid. He slowly moved towards Shen Yuchu’s lips, inching closer, then slowly closed his eyes, slowly opening his mouth to kiss…

“Mmm~” Shen Yuchu frowned and made a sound.

During their quiet moments, their breathing was so subtle that the slightest sound from one could stir the other’s heartstrings.

Upon hearing Shen Yuchu’s sound, Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw Shen Yuchu’s magnified face.

Gulp…

Shen Yuchu’s face had already tilted to the side.

After opening his eyes, Lin Xuan looked at Shen Yuchu’s head tilted to the side, slowly raising his hand. He pursed his lips at her, gently placing her head on his pillow.

To prevent her from tilting her head again, he gently repositioned her head.

After straightening her head, his large hand rested on the tips of her hair.

His fingers gently held her hair. Lin Xuan just looked at her.

He didn’t know why, but he was so captivated by Shen Yuchu now…

Shen Yuchu slightly furrowed her brows, seemingly sleeping restlessly.

Seeing her frown, he reached for his small blanket nearby and covered her with it.

Knowing she was injured, he glanced at her foot. When he turned to look at her injured foot, he saw her posture was quite unique.

She had one leg raised. She was wearing a slitted sheath dress, and even with the blanket covering her, her posture inevitably exposed…

【Thud】!

Lin Xuan’s nose felt hot, and a stream of blood flowed out.

The next second, he quickly covered his nose and rushed out of the bedroom…

In the bathroom, the sound of washing soon followed.

After a while, Lin Xuan finished washing. He supported himself with both hands on the sink, his head wet, water on his face dripping from the tip of his nose.

What was wrong with him?

Why was he having a reaction?

Why did he just have those thoughts about Shen Yuchu?

Gulp—

Lin Xuan swallowed again, finally calming himself down after a long time. Once again, he turned on the faucet and washed his face.

At this time, the door to the house opened.

Hearing someone enter the house, Lin Xuan grabbed a towel, quickly wiped his face, and then came out.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Li Chunqiu holding a basket with many vegetables: celery, green vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, and a piece of pork…

Li Chunqiu naturally changed her shoes. After entering, she acted like the ‘mistress’ of the house.

“Lin Xuan, I’m back. The sanitation team wasn’t busy, so I went to the market and bought some vegetables.”

It wasn’t that the sanitation team wasn’t busy; she specifically swapped shifts with someone. Because she heard that Lin Xuan had brought someone home.

She thought about buying some things, anyway, these things weren’t for her use, her money and food stamps.

These were Lin Xuan’s, subsidies for their mother and daughter.

Li Chunqiu now desperately wanted to establish the image of a “virtuous wife and good mother.”

After entering, she saw Lin Xuan wiping his face with a towel.

This towel was the earthy yellow towel she had recently changed.

She preferred this color, so she changed all the colors she could in the house.

Just like the towel Lin Xuan was holding now, it was also from her.

Lin Xuan looked at Li Chunqiu, wanting to say something, but then heard Li Chunqiu say: “I heard she came and was injured.

I bought these vegetables and meat. I’ll cook today. Tell me what she likes to eat. I’ll make it. The food cooked at home is definitely cleaner than outside!”

Li Chunqiu continued talking, going to the kitchen and taking out the pork.

She also took out the celery and knelt there, straightening each stalk.

Lin Xuan looked at Li Chunqiu diligently picking vegetables in the kitchen, then at his bedroom.

Shen Yuchu’s ankle was injured and indeed needed care.

He couldn’t take care of her all the time, so if Li Chunqiu could take good care of her, it would be good!

“Uh… she likes…”

Right, what did she like?

Lin Xuan tried to think, only remembering the scene of ordering food on the street half a year ago.

“Make some braised pork. Do you know how to make twice-cooked pork? Right, make tomato and egg soup with those tomatoes!”

“And go to the market again, buy garlic chives, eggplant, and beef.

Then, make garlic chives stir-fried pork, braised eggplant. Also, make celery stir-fried beef! Cook a pot of rice, that should be enough.”

Li Chunqiu: “…” She was just being polite, why was Lin Xuan taking it seriously?

On such a hot day, he was making her run to the market again? Just to buy vegetables for that ‘injured woman’?

After buying them, she still had to cook these delicious dishes for her?

What did Lin Xuan mean? Was he playing with her?

Even with Lin Xuan’s money and food and meat stamps, she didn’t want to go!

After buying a bunch of things, she had to cook for that woman, acting as her maid?

Thinking of this, her eyes quickly rolled. No, she couldn’t just sit idly by.

That woman was fine in the meeting room, but she sprained her ankle shortly after leaving.

She sprained her ankle, and Lin Xuan happened to see it, and he carried her back!

It seemed that she sprained her ankle on purpose!

She deliberately wanted to act pitiful and take the opportunity to stay at Lin Xuan’s house!

Humph~

Since she could use this method, why couldn’t she?

If it’s about a woman’s methods, the one inside is still too naive. Don’t think that lying in bed gives you the right to act however you want, and expect her to be a maid serving her?

Don’t even think about it!

Don’t look at who Li Chunqiu is!

Li Chunqiu thought, her eyes rolling again. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the kitchen knife on the cutting board.
