Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After dinner, Lu Nuo was in her bedroom, preparing to open the gift that her third sister-in-law had given her.

Aunt Cheng walked in. “Does Nuonuo like Third Sister-in-law?”

Her daughter did not like to talk to the other sisters-in-law in the house. However, it wasn’t because she was afraid of any of them. The only person she was afraid of was Lu Beichen. BUt today, she actually took the initiative to chat with Tang Wei.

Lu Nuo was more mature and knew the pros and cons, but she sometimes had lower emotional intelligence, which was also a headache for Aunt Cheng.

Facing her mother’s question, Lu Nuo replied, “I don’t like befriending weaklings. Third Sister-in-law is different. She can even subdue Third Brother, so I think she’s a powerful person.”

Aunt Cheng revealed a doting smile. Her daughter has always felt that Lu Beichen was powerful. Now that the man had a wife who could conquer him, the little girl saw Tang Wei as an even more powerful person.

No matter which way you perceive it, it was really just the actions of a child.

Lu Nuo shook her head and said, “Mom, I realized that Third Sister-in-law is the only one who isn’t afraid of Third Brother. She even made Third Brother speechless today.”

“You little brat, your third brother is like that because he loves her.”

Lu Nuo asked again, “So when are they going to give birth to a younger brother or sister?”

The little girl didn’t understand family trees and thought that those younger than her were all her younger siblings.

“Pfft, they’re going to be your nephew and niece, not your siblings.” Aunt Cheng said with a smile.

She nodded her head in a half-understanding manner. “Oh.”

However, Aunt Cheng felt that her daughter was right. It seemed like it was a good opportunity to call the young couple back this time so that they could have a child as soon as possible. In addition, Beichen was out on a business trip for a month. This would definitely improve their relationship.

On the other side, in Qin Garden.

The two of them stood in front of the big bed, speechless.

“Can’t we just stay in the other rooms?” Tang Wei asked.

“That old man clearly wants a grandson. Naturally, he will lock all the other rooms.”

Tang Wei’s face was slightly red. She coughed lightly and said, “Didn’t you bring any extra keys?”

“Why would I bring any? Besides, if I ask for the keys now, people will think that we’re not on good terms.”

The man frowned, feeling a headache. “Let’s just sleep like this,” he said.

He tugged at the tie he had been wearing for the entire day.

Tang Wei looked at him. For the first time in her life, she felt that it was such a lustful act for a man to pull down his tie. She thought all those descriptions in novels were fake, but turns out she was wrong.

However, he said that they should just sleep on the same bed like this?

Tang Wei felt a headache coming on. “I’ll sleep on the floor. You sleep on the bed.”

“No.”

He refused without thinking. How could a man let his wife sleep on the floor? It would be beneath his demeanor as a husband.

Tang Wei looked at him in confusion.

No way, they really had to share a bed? Even the first time she slept with this man was when he was drunk, so it wasn’t as bad at that time. But now?

The next second, she saw Lu Beichen walk to the closet and take out the blanket.

Lu Beichen said, “If that’s so, then I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Tang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Alright.”

After saying that, she went to take a shower.

After he was done cleaning up, he looked at the bathroom that was still lit. He turned around and walked to the other bathroom.

Not long after, he finished showering.

He picked up a towel and dried his hair. He was wearing a gray bathrobe, revealing a large part of his chest and collarbone. He pursed his lips and covered his skin.

Lu Beichen inadvertently glanced at the bathroom that was, once again, still lit. He walked toward the door.

“Tang Wei?” He frowned as he knocked.

“Ah- Cough cough… Ah, I’m here.”

Tang Wei was taking a shower. Her voice was a little hoarse, so she coughed lightly.

She waited for a while but didn’t hear any sound from outside. She asked again, “What’s wrong? Do you want to take a shower? I’ll be done soon.”

Lu Beichen’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “I’ve already showered. Don’t shower for such a long time, it’s not good for you.”

“Oh.”

Tang Wei pursed her lips. She hasn’t even showered for long. Usually, it would take her about twenty minutes to finish showering. She could even calculate the time without looking at her watch. Alas, it was obvious that this Third Master Lu showered too quickly.

“Forget it.”

Tang Wei turned off the shower and wiped the water off her body.

When she was putting on her clothes, her hand paused. “Oh no!”

She didn’t take her pajamas into the shower with her. Did she have to go out with a towel?

She looked at the light yellow towel in the mirror that covered her breasts. She raised her hand and gently tightened the towel around her. There should be no problem now.

She decided to pick up another towel and put it on her hair to cover her face. This way, it wouldn’t be too embarrassing if she bumped into him when she walked out.

She gently opened the bathroom door and peeked out to see that the man wasn’t in the bedroom. She quietly walked to the other side of the bed. Tang Wei froze when she saw the man lying on the sofa outside.

The bedroom and the living room were connected to each other. It wasn’t built like this for just this floor, but also this whole residence.

Therefore, she could see Lu Beichen’s figure on the sofa.

Tang Wei’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly walked to the wardrobe.

After opening it, she was a little surprised to see the dazzling array of clothes inside. Did Lu Beichen buy all the clothes that were available in the mall?

She then looked at the luggage that Butler Ji had placed in the corner. If she moved the luggage at this time, it would definitely disturb the man. She decisively retracted her gaze and took out a set of pajamas from the wardrobe.

She was so focused on getting her clothes that she did not realize the man standing at the door and staring at her.

Lu Beichen’s eyes darkened as he said, “You…”

“F*cking hell!”

He had just said one word when the woman turned to look at him in shock.

Lu Beichen stood at the arched door, the question that he had yet to ask stuck in his throat. His eyes widened slightly. It was not because the woman was wearing a bathrobe that revealed a large part of her skin, but…

The man’s voice was so low that it seemed to be beside her ear, which really startled Tang Wei. She pinched her pajamas and placed them in front of her chest. Due to the shock, her eyes were slightly red and tears were faintly flowing out. After all, she had been holding her breath to look for clothes under the hazy light and had to be on guard against the man at all times, so she could not help but be a little sensitive and nervous. Any sound was much more audible to her ears at the moment.

When she realized that she had cursed, she felt like she had nothing to be embarrassed about.

The man frowned as she smiled coldly. He said, “I thought you fainted in the shower, so I came in to take a look.”

Then, his gaze stopped on the woman’s frightened face, which made her look like a weak little girl, provided that she didn’t say those two words just now.

Lu Beichen said in a teasing tone, “However, it sounds like your voice is quite loud and clear. I’m glad to see you didn’t faint.”

Tang Wei took a deep breath and swallowed her saliva. “Thank you for your meticulous observation.”

The man’s eyes were dark and he did not say anything more. He continued to stare at her with his burning eyes.

She pinched her pajamas and said, “Third Master Lu, do you feel uncomfortable sleeping outside? If you sleep inside here, then I…”

She watched as the man turned around and went back to sleep on the sofa.

With a sigh of relief, she put on her pajamas and casually went to bed.

“Good night, Third Master Lu.”

Tang Wei closed her eyes, not expecting him to reply.

Two hours later, Lu Beichen heard light snores coming from inside, his face filled with irritation. He looked through the sofa’s armrest at the outline of the big bed. Tang Wei was sleeping quite soundly and didn’t even take note of her surroundings.

Lu Beichen let out a soft snort. He got up and walked into the room under the light.
