If Shen Lu calls a halt now, then she's a fake modern person. She buried her face in Gu Xiao's firm chest and let out a muffled groan.

"Um……"

With his wife's permission, Gu Xiao's heart raced.

They wrapped Shen Lu tightly in a blanket to ensure no wind got in before carrying her out the door.

They carried the person to the next room and gently placed them on the bed.

The original folding bed has been put away and replaced with a 1.8-meter double bed.

The study is large enough to easily fit this double bed.

Although it's not as big as the bed next door, it's just the right size for two people to lie down close together.

Shen Lu has been busy taking care of Gu Xiaohua these past few days and hasn't noticed this change at home.

It seems that Gu Xiao had been planning this for a long time.

Shen Lu was still worried about whether the children were properly covered with blankets and was about to get up to check.

"Children..."

"The children are fine; now it's your man's turn to be cared for."

After saying that, Gu Xiao pressed down on him, his forceful kisses falling like raindrops.

Eyes, cupid's bow, neck...

The kiss moved downwards, Gu Xiao's thick, black hair brushing against his skin, sending a tingling sensation through him...

Shen Lu's slender, white fingers ran through the man's hair, caressing it.

Gu Xiao bit Shen Lu's fair and round earlobe and whispered a question in her ear.

Shen Lu's cheeks flushed, and she squinted her eyes, pretending to be calm as she nodded lightly. Her fair hands, tightly gripping the bed sheet beneath her, betrayed her.

In her dreams, she seemed to be a sailboat adrift on the sea, swaying with the waves.

The water was sometimes turbulent, sometimes gentle as water, captivating her and making her unable to extricate herself.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Lu looked as if she had been pulled out of the water, her hair plastered to her cheeks.

She lay on the man's broad chest, breathing heavily and trembling.

Crystal-clear teardrops still clung to her long, duck-feather-like eyelashes.

Recalling his misdeeds, Shen Lu bit his hard chest fiercely.

Gu Xiao let out a satisfied chuckle, which made Shen Lu's face flush.

"Bad guy!"

He tormented her until her back ached, and if she hadn't finally given up, the man probably would have continued.

She underestimated the man who had been starving for a long time. The physical discomfort made Shen Lu kick Gu Xiao.

Go get some hot water.

"We'll call later."

Before Shen Lu could react to what the man was saying, she was pulled into his arms again.

"Gu Xiao, you..."

The sound disappeared into the man's passionate kiss.

When Shen Lu woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight.

The moment she sat up, the pain from her lower body made Shen Lu gasp.

Gu Xiao, that shameless scoundrel!

In the end, I simply held her and cleaned her up.

Otherwise, that scoundrel will never be able to sleep with her again in his lifetime!

"Wife, you're awake?"

Hearing the commotion, Gu Xiao rushed over immediately.

"Breakfast is ready. Shall I bring it to you?"

Shen Lu, supporting her waist, glared at Gu Xiao as if she were being fierce.

"It's all your fault."

The child is still at home; what kind of situation is it for her to eat in bed?

Gu Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed as he felt her gaze, and he leaned over to massage Shen Lu.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze craned their necks to look inside, their faces full of worry.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

They couldn't find their mother when they woke up; their father said she was resting in this room.

The two little ones were terrified, thinking they had disturbed their mother.

Seeing her son's worried expression, Shen Lu waved to them.

"It's nothing, Mom is just a little tired these past few days, her back and waist are aching."

My mother has indeed been leaving early and returning late these past few days, and she looks very tired.

Upon hearing this, the two little ones immediately took off their shoes, got onto the bed, and knelt on either side of Gu Xiao to massage Shen Lu.

"Mom, what happened to your wrist!"

Xiao Yu pointed to the red marks around Shen Lu's wrist and asked.

Shen Lu blushed.

It was the bite he made yesterday when he was playing around with Gu Xiao.

"It's nothing, I was just accidentally bitten by a dog."

The two little ones were heartbroken. Their mother was so tired, and yet the dog was bullying her. That dog was so mean!

"What?! Which dog dared to bully my mother? I'll go avenge you!"

"It's okay, Mom has tamed that dog. He'll listen to me from now on, right, Dad?"

Shen Lu asked Gu Xiao with a smile.

Gu Xiao gave Shen Lu a dangerous look.

Meeting the children's worried eyes, he could only nod and say yes.

He was plotting how to punish this little woman who had compared him to a dog.

To maintain this white lie, Shen Lu could only obediently lie on the bed and let the father and his two sons massage her.

Gu Xiao applied moderate pressure during the massage, focusing on providing emotional support to the two little ones. Shen Lu stood up and sighed contentedly.

He rewarded the father and his two sons with a kiss each.

Gu Xiao had to go out, so he made sure to prepare lunch before leaving.

All day long, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze wouldn't let Shen Lu do anything.

He didn't go out to play, but stayed at home to take care of Shen Lu, afraid that Shen Lu would suffer any hardship.

Seeing the two little ones' bewildered expressions, Shen Lu's heart melted.

"My darlings, Mommy's okay now."

The twins shook their heads firmly and spoke to Shen Lu with serious expressions.

"Dad said that we are little men, and when Dad is not around, we have to support this family."

Shen Lu patted the two little ones' heads with satisfaction.

The next day, He Cunguang invited Shen Lu and his wife, along with Zhao Jingxue, to dinner at his home.

He Cunguang has already bought all the ingredients, but he still needs Shen Lu, the chef, to take charge of the cooking.

His home was also in the family compound, not far from Shen Lu and Gu Xiao's home.

The houses are the same size, but the layout is different.

He Cunguang lives alone; the entire room is as empty as a showroom.

It didn't resemble Shen Lu's home at all, which was decorated in a way that was very cozy.

"Xiao He, your house is too bare. You should get married soon."

To everyone's surprise, He Cunguang did not respond to the joke.

Instead, she lowered her head shyly, lost in thought.

He Cunguang and Zhao Jingxue were still busy preparing food in the kitchen.

This was Shen Lu's first time visiting He Cunguang's home. She looked towards the kitchen and noticed that He Cunguang and Zhao Jingxue seemed to be getting closer and closer.

As the two chatted, Zhao Jingxue was amused and laughed so hard she almost fell over.

Cut the lamb into pieces and soak them in cold water to remove the blood.

Then, Shen Lu added scallions, ginger, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns to the iron pot and boiled them.

After the water boils, skim off the foam with a spoon, then add cold water five times.

Finally, Shen Lu added longan, goji berries, and winter melon to the soup.

The two little ones could smell the rich and mellow aroma from afar.

After washing his hands, he excitedly circled around the pot.

"Mom, whose meat are we eating today?"

Xiao Yu's innocent question made the two adults burst into laughter.

"Whose flesh does this look like to you?" Zhao Jingxue retorted.

"I can't tell, but it smells like lamb!"

"You got it right." Shen Lu flicked Xiao Yu's nose.

Ozawa looked around and searched the yard for a while but couldn't find a satisfactory answer.

"Aunt Zhao, aren't you and Uncle He together yet?"

Zhao Jingxue's face flushed, and she stammered, unable to say anything for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.
