I bring bad luck to my husband, you bring bad luck to your wife.

The period when Meng Dongqing misunderstood Liang Da was the most comfortable few days Liang Da had after his marriage.

Because of his work on ships, Liang Da spends most of his time away from home.

So once he gets home, he likes to stick his husband to him like glue.

Liang Da liked that wet, sticky kiss, the feeling of being able to devour Meng Dongqing.

Meng Dongqing was most annoyed by this and always dodged, which only made Liang Da more and more thirsty for her kisses.

Unable to get his satisfaction, Liang Da often found himself in bed with a throbbing pain in his temples from anger caused by Meng Dongqing.

"I'm your man, we're not having an affair, what are you afraid of?" Liang Da liked to pick up Meng Dongqing and tease him, enjoying the pitiful little husband's helpless appearance.

"I'll let you go once I've fed you enough." Liang Da always used this phrase to fool Meng Dongqing back then, making Meng Dongqing feel his giving while she was in a daze.

In this vicious cycle, Meng Dongqing grew increasingly afraid of Liang Da. Liang Da's temper also became more and more volatile.

Things started to improve after Meng Dongqing found Shuanghua Pavilion.

When Liang Da returned home, Meng Dongqing was still reluctant, but at least she wasn't angry with him anymore.

She even knows when to put a pillow under her lower back.

This progress delighted Liang Da. He asked his servants and found out about Shuanghua Pavilion, which led to his later cooperation with Duan Ziqiu.

Meng Dongqing was overprotected from a young age. His parents had a harmonious relationship, and he was their only child. He was also well-behaved and obedient.

Even after her father's unexpected death, Liang Da immediately stepped in to help, taking in the widow and her orphan and caring for them. He never let Meng Dongqing go hungry or cold.

Liang Da's wet nurse, who was also Meng Dongqing's biological mother, realized this, which is why she dared to entrust Meng Dongqing to Liang Da on her deathbed.

There could never be another man in this world who treated Meng Dongqing as well as Liang Da.

Liang Da is very confident about this, and there is no need for him to be modest.

When Liang Da realized that Meng Dongqing might have misunderstood his relationship with Duan Ziqiu, his first reaction when he was jealous was not to explain, but rather to feel relieved that he had finally gotten through it.

That day, Liang Da packed his things, preparing to board the ship the next day to deliver goods to the south.

As soon as I got back inside, I saw Meng Dongqing there, tears streaming down her face.

"What's wrong? Did someone at the old house upset you?" Liang Da has made money these past few years and no longer relies on the old house for a living, so he's very confident. Whoever makes his husband uncomfortable, he'll take action against them.

"No, they haven't dared to come over since you scolded them last time." Meng Dongqing wiped away his tears. He used to be someone who didn't like to cry, but lately he'd been in a bad mood.

"Then why are you crying? Are you reluctant to let me go out?"

Meng Dongqing remained silent.

"They really don't want me to leave." Liang Da was overjoyed.

"This trip is short, I'll drop off the goods and come right back, okay? Stop crying, I'm leaving now. Your crying is making me anxious." After finishing this trip, Liang Da can focus on spending the New Year with Meng Dongqing at home.

"Okay." Meng Dongqing had just found out she was pregnant.

The thought of not being able to serve Liang Da for so long made her wonder if Liang Da was really doing what he said before, putting all his effort into other things, or if he was really having an ambiguous relationship with Duan Ziqiu, as the servants had said.

Meng Dongqing felt terrible and couldn't control her tears.

"Come and wipe your face." Liang Da washed a warm handkerchief and wiped her husband's tears.

He held the person in his arms and comforted them.

"Next year I won't travel like this anymore, I'll stay home and spend more time with you. Or if you're willing to move around, you can come with me on the ship and visit some nearby places to see the scenery. But the conditions on the ship are harsh, unlike at home where you have everything, I'm afraid you won't be used to it." Liang Da felt the strangeness in his fingers.

Turning his head, he saw Meng Dongqing rubbing his fingertips, making Liang Da feel itchy.

"What's wrong? Is something on your mind and you don't know how to tell me?"

Meng Dongqing knew that Liang Da had a tough time. He was so young, yet the calluses on his hands were almost as thick as his father's at that age.

But he was really afraid of the feeling of becoming a "slut" under Liang Da's body; he didn't like that version of himself.

He had told Liang Da about this, and Liang Da always said: "Show me your flair, don't be embarrassed."

Liang Da's mind was racing from Meng Dongqing's teasing, and his breathing became heavy.

"Could my husband have pity on me and give me a good meal? I'm relying on this to get by on the ship." In Liang Da's bundle, besides his own change of clothes, there was also a set of Meng Dongqing's undergarments, which he would take out and touch when he couldn't bear it at night.

"Could you be a little gentler tonight?" Meng Dongqing was annoyed; he felt like his only value was in bed.

He didn't get along well with his mother-in-law. She was too lazy to teach him how to manage a household. His parents had passed away early, and he was raised by Liang Da like a useless person, knowing nothing.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't hurt you." After saying that, Liang Da went to get the ointment.

"I'm serious, the doctor said that if we're not careful, we could hurt the baby." Meng Dongqing knew from his anxious look that Liang Da was just trying to appease her.

Clang! That was the sound of the ointment jar falling onto the bed.

"What did you say?" Liang Da's voice was devoid of any guile, filled only with shock and lingering fear.

"In the evening, while you were busy, the old woman in the courtyard found a doctor to take my pulse. She said that although it was a little faint, I should be pregnant," Meng Dongqing said in a low voice, like a child who had done something wrong.

Liang Da did not board the ship the next day.

This was the first time in all his years of sailing that Liang Da had told his brothers that he had something to do and couldn't come.

After repeated confirmations, it was finally confirmed that Meng Dongqing had it.

"Amitabha, I finally have an heir. God bless me, please give me a healthy boy." Liang Da was straightforward and spoke without mincing words, which easily led to misunderstandings by Meng Dongqing.

"Do you dislike your daughter and son that much?" Meng Dongqing asked, somewhat disappointed.

"How can my daughter and son work on a boat, enduring such hardship?" Liang Da just liked boys. He hoped that his eldest son would be a boy so that he could support the family and protect Meng Dongqing and his younger siblings.

After the New Year.

The news quickly reached their family and they learned that Meng Dongqing was pregnant.

Then they sent over a young man and a maid.

They were supposed to be serving Meng Dongqing, but in reality, they were just trying to stuff people into Liang Da's room.

Meng Dongqing actually accepted it without thinking.

When Liang Da got home, he found two more people in Meng Dongqing's yard.

"Sent from the old house?" Even a fool could guess that they were up to no good again.

"Yes, the old lady brought it over, saying it was for taking care of your husband." The head maid in the courtyard knew Liang Da was angry and didn't dare to look up at him.

"Arrange for someone to take this girl to the eldest brother's room, and the youngest brother to the third brother's room. Just say that since it's the New Year, I don't have anything good to offer, so I'm sending these two things over to help the brothers pass the time." The Liang family is large and has many affairs. Even though I've managed to hide away, I still can't find peace and quiet.
