After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

My condolences.

Li Xingyun nodded.

"I know it's all in the past."

Despite saying that, Li Xingyun's eyes quietly welled up with tears.

Gu Xiao knew that this person must be very important to him for him to treat someone who looked somewhat similar to that person so well.

Gu Xiao patted Li Xingyun's shoulder, a way of comforting someone that is unique to men.

After seeing Li Xingyun off, Shen Lu and Gu Xiao took the two little ones home.

A week later, it was heard that Gu Xiaohua's former mother-in-law could not accept that her son had been sentenced to death, and went mad in broad daylight, coming to her door with a knife.

He wanted to perish together with Gu Xiaohua's family.

Fortunately, Han Ping was at home that day and heard the cries for help in time, managing to subdue the crazed old woman.

He accidentally cut his left hand with the kitchen knife in the old woman's hand.

Fortunately, Han Ping was agile and the wound was not deep and did not expose the bone. He only needed to rest for a while.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lu specially prepared a highly nourishing soup and sent it to Han Ping.

They happened to run into Gu Xiaohua, who was delivering food.

She had clearly been crying; her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

"Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. Brother Han wouldn't have been hurt. He took the knife for me because he was protecting me."

Shen Lu knew that Gu Xiaohua was a sensitive and delicate person. Since childhood, Qin's mother had suppressed her, making her afraid to trouble others in the slightest.

She couldn't offer any comforting words, so she asked directly.

Why do you think Han Ping did that?

There is no such thing as good without a reason.

A man's willingness to risk his life to protect another woman is enough to prove everything.

Gu Xiaohua, who was still grieving just a moment ago, blushed immediately upon hearing Shen Lu's blunt and sharp question.

She's not some clueless young woman.

Even if Han Ping and her second brother had a very good relationship, it wouldn't be enough for him to go to such lengths for her.

However, Gu Xiaohua's inferiority complex prevented her from facing Han Ping's feelings directly, and also from confronting her own inner thoughts.

She twisted her hands and lowered her head to hide her emotions.

"I've been married and have a child. How could I possibly be worthy of someone as good as Brother Han?"

Gu Xiaohua's words were full of self-doubt.

"In any case, you need to seriously consider this relationship."

Shen Lu knew it was too early to say these things, but she just wanted Gu Xiaohua to be mentally prepared and to understand her own feelings.

Gu Xiaohua lowered her head and nodded slightly, her words full of sincerity.

"Okay, sister-in-law."

In the ward, Han Ping and Gu Xiao were chatting.

Han Ping's eyes lit up for a moment when he saw Gu Xiaohua come in.

Gu Xiaohua carried the thermos that Shen Lu had brought and poured a cup of chicken soup into the lid. She kept her head down and didn't dare to look up at Han Ping.

"This is a wild pheasant that my second brother caught in the mountains. Your sister-in-law made it into chicken soup for you. Please try it."

Han Ping took the lid of the teapot.

"Sigh, you can rest, I can do it myself."

Shen Lu's culinary skills are as captivating as ever.

The chicken soup was rich and fragrant, and it also contained nourishing ingredients such as goji berries and jujubes. The oil on top had been skimmed off completely.

"Your sister-in-law's cooking skills are truly exceptional."

Han Ping savored a sip of chicken soup, his face showing no resentment at the injury he had caused others.

"I'll bring it to you again next time."

No matter what, they owe Han Ping something. Even if that wasn't true, it's only right for friends to show concern for each other.

Han Ping, however, didn't hesitate at all: "I never expected that I would actually benefit from this misfortune."

Although Han Ping hadn't attended school for long, he was full of energy from traveling all over the country and easily enlivened the atmosphere.

Gu Xiaohua initially blamed herself for Han Ping being hurt because of her, but as he spoke humorously, the heavy weight in her heart gradually dissipated.

Seeing that the two got along well, Shen Lu said goodbye to Gu Xiao and left.

Knowing that it would be quite late when I got home, I stopped by a state-run restaurant on the way and ordered meat buns and three dishes: two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

Shen Lu had been helping to take care of Gu Xiaohua lately, neglecting the feelings of the two little ones. She spent a long time playing with them in the yard that evening.

After coaxing the two little ones to sleep, Shen Lu snuggled into Gu Xiao's arms.

The weather has been getting colder these past few days, but Gu Xiao's embrace is always warm and comforting.

During my period a few days ago, I was able to fall asleep at night only because Gu Xiao's hot, large hands were covering my stomach.

Thinking of this, Shen Lu felt a chill in her stomach. She grabbed Gu Xiao's hand and placed it on her stomach, which made her feel more comfortable.

The man leaned closer, his voice tinged with resentment.

"Only now you've finally thought of me?"

Shen Lu turned around, playfully punched Gu Xiao's chest, and said coquettishly, "Why are you, an adult, jealous of a child?"

"You're my wife, I'm not only jealous, I want to eat you..."

Gu Xiao pretended to grab Shen Luhao's wrist and bit it.

The force was extremely light, yet it still left a red mark on Shen Lu's delicate skin.

Looking up, I saw Shen Lu pouting, her eyes red-rimmed.

Shen Lu isn't a particularly delicate person, but she can't help herself when she's around Gu Xiao.

"Wife, does it hurt? Don't cry, bite back."

Upon hearing her words, Shen Lu smiled slyly, hooked her arm around Gu Xiao's neck, and bit down on his lips.

"Hiss!" Gu Xiao could tell at once that this little woman was faking it.

He held her close, deepening the kiss.

As the air in Shen Lu's chest gradually decreased, she struggled to escape from the man's embrace.

Taking deep breaths of fresh air, Shen Lu's mind went blank, and her legs felt as weak as noodles.

But this month, the man, having tasted the sweetness of love, became clingy again, and the deepening kiss sent electric shocks through Shen Lu's body.

Shen Lu's slender white fingers pressed against the man's broad, hard chest, struggling.

Gu Xiao finally took pity on the little woman in his arms and released her.

Shen Lu, her eyes reddening, glared at Gu Xiao with a coquettish look.

"Ugh, you're so fierce!"

The kiss came like a wolf that hadn't eaten meat in eight hundred years.

He was incredibly fierce, completely unlike how obedient he was to her under the bed.

Men are all like this: when they take off their clothes, they are beasts; when they put on their clothes, they are beasts in human clothing.

Having no experience with kissing, Shen Lu was almost suffocating. She haphazardly pushed and shoved the man's body with her hands, but his strong chest was as solid as a wall in front of her.

After finally escaping, Shen Lu's face was still blurry with tears from the suffocation she had just experienced.

Gu Xiao gently coaxed her, holding her in his arms like a newborn baby, patting Shen Lu's smooth back.

Once the person had caught their breath, Gu Xiao lowered his head and lightly kissed them intermittently, nuzzling their ear.

Shen Lu was pricked by his stubble and kept trying to dodge him in his arms.

Perhaps the two of them were making too much noise.

"Hmm..." The little guy sleeping beside him hummed softly.

The couple were so frightened that they froze on the spot, afraid to move.

In the instant Shen Lu was stunned, Gu Xiao swept her up in his arms.

"what……"

Shen Lu instinctively gasped, but swallowed her gasp for the sake of her two sleeping children.

"What are you doing...?"

Shen Lu gently punched the man who was holding her.

Gu Xiao smiled freely and whispered two words in Shen Lu's ear.

Shen Lu's face was proof that Gu Xiao could say such shameful things.

"Wife, let's go next door."
