Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 199 A forced marriage is never sweet, but it quenches thirst!
A car should get you home much faster than a bicycle.

As Liu Songyan left Shen Ruzhi's building, he had just locked his bicycle on his way home when he happened to see the three people standing in front of him, looking up.

Liu Changcun, the father, remained calm, while An Zhaoran, standing beside him, appeared somewhat embarrassed.

It is unclear what the group talked about in the car.

As a result, An Zhaoran's attitude towards him has changed significantly.

The youngest, Liu Wanqiu, displayed this even more clearly. Like a little adult, she held her head high and looked at her brother with disdain.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Liu Songyan was puzzled as to why his sister was looking at him so strangely.

Before he could figure out the reason, he heard his father speak.

"Let's go upstairs first. I have something to tell you later."

His tone was calm yet carried an undeniable air of authority. Even though Liu Songyan was usually composed and calm, his heart skipped a beat when he heard Liu Changcun's words.

The atmosphere became somewhat strange at this moment.

The four entered the residential building and climbed the stairs to their home.

They opened the security door and entered the house one after another.

As if they had planned it beforehand, An Zhaoran took Liu Wanqiu back to the room first. With the sound of the door closing, only the father and son remained in the large living room.

Upon entering the living room, Liu Changcun went straight to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

When he looked up at his child, Liu Songyan, who had come along, looked just like a child who had made a mistake, sitting to the side with his head down.

Waiting for my father to speak.

His gaze lingered on his son for a while before Liu Changcun raised his hand and tapped the table meaningfully. When he noticed Liu Songyan's gaze following him, he then touched the water glass on the table with his finger.

The father and son understood each other and did not speak. Realizing this, Liu Songyan silently took the cup, filled it at the water dispenser, and then returned to the dining table.

She gently placed the cup down and stopped in front of the man.

Liu Changcun raised his hand, picked up the water glass, and drank most of it in one gulp.

When the cup was put back on the table, he, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"There are some things I can't say in detail just now in front of your Aunt Wen."

After a slight pause, he spoke again, followed by interrogative words.

"You two didn't do anything wrong, did you?"

"..."

The father's words left his son speechless; he couldn't immediately understand what kind of mistake the father meant.

Thinking back to when they were at Shen Ruzhi's house, the two of them hugged tightly in front of the elevator.

Perhaps the mistake my father was referring to... is this?
His mind raced wildly until Liu Songyan considered this possibility. He silently observed his father's serious expression, and only after confirming it in his heart did he slowly nod.

"Made a mistake."

Upon hearing this, the man who had just been trying to remain calm immediately lost his composure. Although Liu Changcun knew that his son would never lie to him, he never expected that the other party would give such an honest answer.

And judging from his current demeanor, he doesn't seem to think he's done anything wrong.

Thinking back to when I took the initiative to invite my senior to send Shen Ruzhi, who was left unattended at home, to my house during the summer vacation.

Thinking back to what I had just witnessed, I realized that I shouldn't have judged people by their appearance.

After all, her son was handsome and had previously shown no interest in her senior's daughter.

Who could have imagined that in just a few months, these two would commit such a heinous act?

In an instant, Liu Changcun felt his head buzzing.

Where exactly did these two guys get their business?
Is it in my own home?
It seems unlikely, since there are always people at home. Even if they were incredibly bold, they would never do such a thing.

Since the possibility of their own home being ruled out means there must be another place?

Realizing this, Liu Changcun immediately thought of a possible place, since after his senior moved, she often drove home very late due to her busy work schedule.

Only the mother and daughter lived in the house.

With Wen Yunwei, the mother, not at home... wouldn't that huge new house become a place for these two to run wild?

His breathing became rapid, as if Liu Changcun was seeing Liu Songyan for the first time.

Although Liu Songyan used to be unruly at school, he was a well-behaved and sensible child at home. He thought his son would be more sensible than his daughter, but now it seems that he, as a father, was just being delusional.

He's been so busy with work lately that he's neglected his child's education.

Looking at Liu Songyan's calm demeanor.

As a father, Liu Changcun hurriedly adjusted his emotions, suppressed his anger, and then asked again.

"You spent the whole day with Shen Ruzhi, didn't you?"

"No."

"Ah? There's more?"

"Chi Jinhe went too."

Hearing from his son that there were other people present, Liu Changcun was so shocked that he was speechless.

He even gave his son some money before leaving home this morning to make sure he wouldn't run out of money while he went out to play.

In retrospect, it seems that he, as the father, underestimated the other party.

One Shen Ruzhi wasn't enough, they even dragged Chi Jinhe into it!

The conversation, which seemed completely nonsensical, proceeded extremely smoothly.

Liu Songyan mistakenly thought his father was referring to his hug with Shen Ruzhi, but he underestimated his father's quick wit.

Liu Changcun, however, did not object to the fleeting excitement of adolescence.

What he opposes is the unorthodox approach of going about things without any proper guidance.

The thought that these immature children had gathered together to do such a thing made Liu Changcun, who was particularly concerned about the children's character, feel that he could no longer remain calm.

His fists, resting on the dining table, were clenched tightly. He looked at Liu Songyan, who, though seemingly admitting his mistake, appeared indifferent, as if he were a dead pig that didn't care about boiling water.

He stood up abruptly from the chair, panting heavily, and began to unbuckle the belt buckle at his waist.

This behavior caught Liu Songyan's eye. He blinked in surprise, and after a few seconds, he asked in confusion.

"Dad... what's wrong?"

"I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget today!"

"Learn...learn a lesson? What do you mean?"

"How old are you? You haven't even grown all your hair yet and you're already making mistakes!"

He pulled out his belt, folded it over, and yanked it twice, the snapping sound echoing in the living room.

Behind the slightly ajar door, An Zhaoran, who witnessed this scene, could no longer sit still.

Although Liu Changcun was indeed educating her child, the actions she was about to take clearly exceeded her expectations.

To prevent the situation from escalating beyond expectations, An Zhaoran completely disregarded her eavesdropping behavior and hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

"Calm down!"

The words that slipped out did not bring Liu Changcun back to his senses, but instead elicited an angry response from the man.

"Calm down? How can I calm down? Pretend this never happened? Who knows how many times he secretly did it behind my back?"

"You can't do that!"

"He needs to learn his lesson!"

Liu Changcun's tone left no room for refusal; he had already wanted to do this since he first came to this world.

After all, Liu Songyan's hairstyle at that time was really strange and eye-catching, but because his son was too sensible at the time, he could not find a reason to make a fuss.

Now that the evidence is conclusive, Liu Changcun no longer needs to restrain himself.

Thinking of this, he immediately began to act, while An Zhaoran hurriedly stood in front of Liu Songyan, trying to stop this scene of a fierce father and a weak son.

"What... how many times has it been done?"

When the situation was out of control, the boy who was being shielded by An Zhaoran asked a question.

Upon hearing this, the two adults facing off immediately fell silent.

Liu Changcun looked through An Zhaoran in front of him at Liu Songyan behind him, who had said those words. When he saw the puzzled look on the other man's face...

"Now you're playing dumb, huh? Didn't you admit it yourself? You took her body!"

"what?"

With a glare, Liu Songyan snapped out of his daze.

What did I ask of her?

"..."

"..."

Time seemed to freeze. Upon hearing Liu Songyan's response, Liu Changcun, who was about to take action, immediately stopped.

An Zhaoran, standing in front of him, also looked behind him in confusion.

Only now, with the two adults staring at him, did Liu Songyan realize the problem.

"Dad, how could you think of me like that?"

Liu Songyan wasn't completely ignorant about topics related to the sexes, but he didn't understand them very well either. That's why he didn't realize the implication his father was making when he first asked him about it.

Now that he had come to his senses, even he, who was usually calm, showed a flustered expression.

As if she were trying her best to defend herself, she began to recount her entire itinerary for the day, including her trip with Shen Ruzhi and Chi Jinhe.

From the very beginning when Chi Jinhe invited them to go shopping at the mall, to today's trip to Ocean Park after shopping at the mall.

The explanation, word by word, came from the boy's mouth.

It is logical and well-founded, not something that is fabricated randomly.

Listening to the boy's righteous and stern narration, Liu Changcun, after sorting out the matter again, realized his preconceived notions.

Her gaze swept towards An Zhaoran in front of her, and she, who was also staring at the man, understood what was going on.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

The belt in my hand now seems superfluous.

"Dad, I don't hate Shen Ruzhi as much as I used to, but I know very well what I should and shouldn't do, and I would never do anything like that..."

"Cough cough."

Liu Changcun interrupted his child's speech with a light cough, now completely trusting the other party.

The atmosphere had already been built up to this point, and now that he had pulled out his belt, it was really not a good time for him to leave.

Behind the open room door, Liu Wanqiu was also cheering.

"Dad, teach him a lesson! Let him remember this!"

His fists were clenched and he waved them around, displaying an attitude of enjoying the spectacle.

Liu Wanqiu looked down on her brother, because although Liu Songyan would occasionally tease him, he always presented a hypocritical and cold demeanor.

During the summer vacation, Liu Wanqiu had already pointed out the abnormality in the relationship between the two. Liu Songyan refuted her righteously and even hit her on the head with chopsticks.

She had thought she had misunderstood her brother. But today, she witnessed the scene herself. When she saw her brother and Shen Ruzhi embracing tightly, she realized that all that pain she had endured during the summer vacation had been for nothing.

To her surprise, her own brother turned out to be such a hypocrite.

Perhaps out of a desire for revenge, Liu Wanqiu wholeheartedly supported her father's decision to teach the other party a lesson.

However, when she spoke, she didn't see her father take immediate action; instead, she saw her older brother, Liu Songyan, turn around and stare at her.

Feeling a little guilty under such gazes, Liu Wanqiu felt uneasy.

She had been waving her fists and cheering, but the flame burning in her heart seemed to have been extinguished by a bucket of cold water, and she wilted and weakened.

Her raised little hand slowly fell down, and under her older brother's gaze, she silently closed the open door.

To avoid his brother targeting him later.

Until the room door closed tightly again.

Liu Changcun and An Zhaoran, who had been looking at each other in bewilderment, managed to calm down and realized that it was just a misunderstanding. They both looked rather embarrassed.

Liu Changcun glanced at An Zhaoran in front of him, then looked at his innocent-looking son.

The belt in his hand was slowly handed over until it reached An Zhaoran, who was blinking.

"Um... put it in my bedroom."

"..."

Silently taking it, An Zhaoran pondered for two seconds before realizing what it meant, hurriedly said "oh," and then walked towards the master bedroom with the belt.

Once again, only the father and son remained in the living room. After the misunderstanding, Liu Changcun felt guilty towards his child for the first time.

He lowered his head and hesitated for a moment.

He looked at Liu Songyan again and began to speak with a smile.

"It's good that you didn't make a mistake. I knew you wouldn't do something like that."

"..."

"So, you three went to Ocean Park today?"

"Ah."

Do you have any money on hand right now? If not, I'll give you some more.

"It's enough."

"That's it..."

The conversation between father and son was no longer as natural as before. After all, they had just gone through such a farce, and it would be difficult to return to the same atmosphere they used to have in a short period of time.

Liu Changcun's awkwardness didn't last long; a few seconds later, he acted as if nothing had happened.

Looking at his own child, he spoke again.

"In short, your dad was worried that you would make a mistake, but you were able to control your desires... You are truly my son."

"dad……"

"Study hard, go wash up first. It's a rare day off, relax and have some fun."

The conversation between father and son ended there. Liu Changcun knew very well that ending it at this moment was the best outcome.

Regardless of Liu Songyan's response, he quickened his pace until he reached the master bedroom, opened the door, and entered.

As the door closed, Liu Changcun, who had entered the room, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I was still rational at the time, which prevented me from actually disciplining my child.

Thinking of this, Liu Changcun looked up and saw An Zhaoran staring blankly at him, clutching her belt and looking at him with a puzzled expression.

The two looked at each other in silence, neither willing to continue the conversation.

It wasn't until An Zhaoran realized what was happening that she first looked down at the belt in her hand before asking the question.

"Where... should I put this?"

"Throw it on the bed."

"Oh."

After giving an honest reply, An Zhaoran threw the belt onto the bed as if it were a hot potato.

Then she looked at the man standing in front of her, noticing the loose trousers around his waist.

Seeing that she had lowered herself to her hips, as if driven by instinct, she immediately stepped forward from where she was standing.

Raise your hands and pull them up by the sides.

Her gaze remained fixed on the man's waist, while she muttered something under her breath.

"It seems that educating children is not an easy task... Fortunately, Songyan knows how to behave."

"..."

As soon as the hands holding it on both sides let go, it immediately slipped down.

Upon seeing this, An Zhaoran frowned, as if she were having a serious argument with the pants, and pulled them up again.

Maintaining this posture, but with her eyes raised and her face tilted upwards, she looked in front of her.

Noticing that Liu Changcun was also watching her, she didn't realize what was wrong and started talking again.

"I'll go with you on the station's business trip next week. After all, this is a job my dad arranged for you, and I'm always worried he'll target you..."

Although An Junan seemed to have put aside his prejudices not long ago, his daughter An Zhaoran found the matter hard to believe.

There are plenty of people in the station who can be used, but they chose Liu Changcun to go on the business trip.

It will take about four days to go back and forth.

The thought of not seeing each other for so long was hard for An Zhaoran to accept, which is why she said she would accompany him on the business trip.

The two were extremely close at the moment, but An Zhaoran, who was slower to react, seemed not to realize that there was anything wrong with her behavior.

It wasn't until she noticed that Liu Changcun in front of her had remained silent for a long time that she belatedly looked down at him.

When she saw herself holding up her pants with both hands, she blinked frequently and realized what was happening.

He suddenly let go and immediately stepped back.

Only when she retreated to the edge of the bed, her calves touching the edge, did she hurriedly begin to defend her actions.

"I...I just wanted to help you, I didn't mean anything else!"

Liu Changcun did not respond to this, but simply took a step forward slowly.

His sudden approach immediately made An Zhaoran's heart beat faster.

Only then did she realize where she was, and subconsciously turned around to look at the bed that had already been made up.

Having already brushed up on the relevant knowledge, she is no longer the complete novice she once was.

As Liu Changcun drew closer and closer until he stood right in front of her...

The man didn't stop; instead, he moved even closer.

In her panic, she felt she had nowhere to retreat, and her body began to lean backward and fell straight down.

Her back was caught by the soft bed, but her hands frantically rose up and pressed against the other person, just as Liu Changcun was about to fall on top of her.

She turned her face away and muttered softly.

"Not now..."

Considering that there are two children in the family, and given An Zhaoran's conservative views, even though she has now confirmed her relationship with Liu Changcun, she is still unable to accept this behavior for the time being.

There was no warm environment, nor was there the right emotional atmosphere.

The fact that it was about to begin so abruptly made her feel extremely nervous.

However, the attempts to stop it did not seem to have any effect.

After An Zhaoran expressed his meaning, Liu Changcun, who was already bending down, only paused briefly before continuing his actions as if nothing was wrong.

Seeing this, An Zhaoran felt as if she had no choice but to close her eyes and cross her hands in front of her.

Her trembling eyelashes testified to the turmoil in her heart.

But after waiting for several seconds, they still didn't notice what the man would do next.

When An Zhaoran opened her eyes again, she saw Liu Changcun taking back his belt and tying it around his waist.

"..."

An Zhaoran seemed not to have reacted for a moment. After she came to her senses, she immediately struggled to sit up from the bed.

Looking at the man who seemed to be getting dressed afterward, I noticed the smile on his face.

"you……"

"What, are you a little disappointed that things didn't go as you expected?"

Before she could speak, the man's reply cut her off. An Zhaoran stood up from the bed and slowly approached the man in front of her.

"Things like that are only interesting when they are consensual. Forced relationships may quench thirst, but they are not sweet."

His gaze fell on An Zhaoran, noticing that the other woman seemed somewhat moved.

The entire day on Saturday left Liu Changcun feeling exceptionally fulfilled, especially seeing An Zhaoran looking at him now, which made him feel particularly relaxed.

Sure enough... no matter how long he looked at her, An Zhaoran in front of him still gave him a feeling of not being able to get enough of her.

After two clicks, the loose pants were stabilized again thanks to the belt.

Liu Changcun looked at An Zhaoran in front of him, noticing her blank expression as she stared at him in silence.

After staring at him for a few seconds, he spoke again.

"I know you've never experienced this before, so it's normal to feel scared. I won't overthink it, so don't worry."

"..."

The man's words reached the woman's ears without a single mistake.

This also made An Zhaoran, who was watching Liu Changcun, feel something unusual at this moment.

She had considered similar scenarios when their relationship was confirmed, but she never expected Liu Changcun to react this way when it actually happened.

Moved by this, An Zhaoran could no longer remain calm and stood before Liu Changcun.

She suddenly threw herself into his arms, proving her feelings through her actions.

The two finally parted ways after a long time.

After they caught their breath, they snuggled together once again.

Leaning close to the man's chest, An Zhaoran turned her face to feel the warmth of the moment, to feel the rapid beating of each other's hearts, and after a long while, she responded softly.

"Give me some more time..."

These words were spoken to Liu Changcun, and also to herself.

It seems that, in her view, it won't be long before she can overcome that mental barrier.

Once you take that first step...

Then there will be no more worries.
