Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Wang Xiulian's questioning voice carried far on the night wind.

Four young women blocked the road completely; everyone was there, waiting for an explanation.

Surrounded in the middle, Bai Li, seeing the situation was turning bad, started spouting nonsense:

"Mom, look at what you're saying, how could I dare!"

"I was just visiting my neighbor. We see each other all the time, so I just went over to say hello, purely out of politeness."

Bai Weiguo stood silently in the shadow of the streetlight.

No one knows a son better than his father. He knows this little rascal all too well; he's definitely not up to any good!

Comrade Lao Bai's face twitched violently, his lips pressed into a thin slit, like a powerful but unyielding warrior.

Although he was struggling to hold it in, he knew in his heart that if he turned up even a fraction of a pixel's width of his mouth, his wife, who was in the midst of a menopausal rage, would definitely chop him into mincemeat on the spot.

Zhang Qian moved forward slightly.

She came with Bai Li and Li Mengmeng last time, so she naturally knew that Li Mengmeng lived next door.

Zhang Qian lowered her voice and whispered closer to Bai Li:

"Brother, you're making up lies without even blushing. Are you really that calm right now?"

Bai Li remained expressionless and calmly uttered two words:

"Wrapped."

This overly calm demeanor made Zhang Qian frown.

Lying is not a good habit. Although she was willing to be used by Bai Li at will, she did not want to be lied to in the future.

However, she had a sharp eye and scanned downwards under the streetlight, immediately noticing something amiss.

Zhang Qian pointed to the cuff of his trench coat and pressed for an answer:

"If you're so calm, why are your hands shaking?"

Bai Li, with his hands in his trench coat pockets, answered seriously:

"Deer."

Lin Xiaoshuang, Li Jiaxin, Chen Tingting and a few others stood not far away.

All four people heard these words clearly.

Lin Xiaoshuang rushed up and pinched Bai Li's arm hard, angrily scolding him:

"Have you done something wrong? Otherwise, why are your hands trembling? Confess!"

Bai Li, shameless and brazen, basking in the death stares of the four young women, casually remarked:

"The neighbor's cat is too fierce; I got scratched while petting it."

This outrageous lie made all four girls both angry and amused.

When Chen Tingting got angry, she opened her tongue pierced mouth and shouted:

"Auntie! Don't believe him! We all heard from Zhang Qian that the villa next door belongs to his female classmate! He went there late at night to see other women!"

This statement was the fuse of a powder keg.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiulian was alarmed.

He searched around for a weapon, grabbed a branch from the roadside green belt, and pounced on Bai Li.

"I'll beat you to death, you little brat! I'll beat you to death!" Wang Xiulian swung the tree branch in her hand, making a whooshing sound, aiming specifically for Bai Li's buttocks:

"How can you face Tingting and those other good girls? How did I raise you? To be loyal to one person!"

Bai Li was beaten so badly that he jumped up and down on the spot, howling at the top of his lungs:

"Ouch! Ouch! Don't hit me! Mom, be gentle, it hurts!"

In reality, this amount of force applied to a body enhanced by the Kidney Strengthening Talent is no different from a tickle.

But to appease my mother, I had to maintain a proper attitude.

Wang Xiulian persisted, becoming increasingly agitated with each blow: "I might as well kill you, so you won't go out and cause trouble for others!"

The beating didn't last long.

The four energetic young women standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore.

They came from humble backgrounds and lacked a sense of security. Having received immense kindness from Bai Li, they were already completely devoted to him.

How could I just stand by and watch my sweetheart get beaten up?

Lin Xiaoshuang's soft, adorable baby face was full of anxiety. She was the first to run over and hug Wang Xiulian's arm tightly.

Zhang Qian and Chen Tingting quickly surrounded Bai Li and stood in front of him, while Li Jiaxin spread her arms wide to protect him.

"Auntie, please stop hitting her." Lin Xiaoshuang's eyes were red as she turned to look Bai Li up and down, her heartache impossible to hide.

"Big brother, are you hurt?"

Wang Xiulian, panting, dropped the branch in her hand, looked at the four maids blocking her way, and scolded them with exasperation:

"You girls, how come you spoil him even more than I do? I've been beating him since he was a kid, he's tough as nails, you can't break him!"

Bai Li hid behind the girls, pretending to rub his lower back.

As Wang Xiulian turned to pull Bai Weiguo away, Bai Li bent down and whispered to Lin Xiaoshuang and Zhang Qian in an extremely serious tone, reporting the extent of their injuries:

"He is injured."

Lin Xiaoshuang was startled and quickly looked up to ask:

"Where are you hurt?"

Bai Li gestured behind the famous figure:

"His buttocks were split in two, with a long slit in the middle."

Lin Xiaoshuang was stunned for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, her pretty face turned bright red.

Zhang Qian couldn't hold back anymore, feeling both annoyed and amused. She reached out and pinched Bai Li's soft waist hard, scolding him playfully:

"You're still being sarcastic at a time like this!"

Wang Xiulian turned around and saw that her daughters-in-law were not angry anymore, but were flirting with Bai Li. She was relieved and took the opportunity to back down.

"Hmph, you'd better remember this lesson and watch yourself from now on!"

Wang Xiulian dusted off her hands and explained the purpose of her trip:

"Your father and I came to see you. We haven't been to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds before. We came here today specifically to familiarize ourselves with the place. Now, let's go back quickly."

Bai Li walked ahead and pressed the fingerprint lock on Villa No. 1.

The gate was pushed open to both sides.

The living room has a high ceiling, and a dazzling crystal chandelier is lit up.

The floor, paved with imported marble, is so shiny it reflects light like a mirror.

Bai Weiguo and Wang Xiulian stepped across the threshold, and the couple stopped in their tracks.

"Goodness..." Bai Weiguo swallowed hard, his rough hands, honed from years of handling wrenches, rubbing back and forth on the hem of his clothes.

"How much does this cost? Xiaoshuang and the others said there's a swimming pool on the fourth floor?!"

Wang Xiulian stared in disbelief, completely forgetting about scolding her son. She pulled Lin Xiaoshuang and the others around the living room, touching and looking at everything, praising it repeatedly.

After the initial shock, ordinary people still have to go on with their lives as usual.

"Alright, stop staring. It's so late, you guys definitely haven't had dinner yet." Wang Xiulian rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the open kitchen, which was even bigger than the master bedroom of an average family.

Lin Xiaoshuang, unable to stay still, quickly took off her coat.

Beneath the tight-fitting base layer, her youthful and energetic body was incredibly alluring.

In order to present a good image of being a virtuous wife to her future mother-in-law, Lin Xiaoshuang grabbed a basin and started pouring water and kneading dough.

This inexperienced young woman had no idea what fermentation was, and she didn't add any yeast. She simply kneaded the water and flour into a hard, lumpy dough, then stuffed it directly into a steamer and cooked it over high heat.

She happily imagined Bai Li praising her cooking skills.

The remaining three women, not to be outdone, joined the battle in the kitchen.

Soon, the sounds of pots and pans clattering came from the kitchen, filling the mansion with a warm and inviting atmosphere.

This is the living room side.

Bai Li poured her father a cup of hot tea, and the two sat on the sofa and chatted.

Bai Weiguo held his teacup, blew away the foam, and glanced at the busy figure in the kitchen.

"You little rascal," Bai Weiguo put down his teacup, leaned forward, and started a conversation between men.

Comrade Lao Bai earnestly began to explain profound principles:

"Let me tell you, a gentleman may be attracted to women, but he must do so in a proper way."

"It's your blessing to have such wonderful girls by your side who are devoted to you."

Bai Weiguo tapped the rosewood tabletop: "But everything has its order of arrival. Since they got together with you first, you have to try to get their consent later, understand? Like what just happened."

"A family should live in harmony. If you can't fit in, don't force Tingting and the others to agree. Do you understand?"

The implication was crystal clear.

If there really are other women outside, don't openly bring them into the house and cause trouble in your backyard.

Bai Li sat there, and after hearing this, nodded in agreement with a serious expression.

"Okay." Bai Li agreed readily, then added the second half of the sentence:

"If they don't agree, I'll come secretly."

This incredible answer left Bai Weiguo speechless.

Old Bai was stunned for several seconds, then pointed at Bai Li's nose and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You brat..."

"What's wrong with the child? He's a grown man, stop pointing fingers!"

Wang Xiulian came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of steaming hot stir-fried dishes, just in time to see Bai Weiguo pointing at Bai Li.

Her motherly protective instincts kicked in, and she glared at Bai Weiguo, mistakenly thinking he was scolding Bai Li.

Several young women also came out carrying bowls and chopsticks.

The treatment was reversed too quickly.

Bai Li, who was just getting beaten up on the roadside, has suddenly become the family's top priority for protection.

Bai Weiguo was speechless and could only cough twice before obediently picking up his chopsticks to eat.

The long table was covered with food.

Braised pork, stir-fried greens, and the big white steamed buns that Lin Xiaoshuang had been busy making for half a day.

Steaming hot, with an excellent presentation.

Li Jiaxin was starving.

She tied her purple hair into a ponytail, then casually reached out and grabbed a large steamed bun, taking a big bite without thinking twice.

"Boom!"

A crisp sound of hard objects colliding rang out on the dining table.

Li Jiaxin was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She felt like her back molars were about to be retired on the spot.

Chen Tingting, who was sitting to the side, looked at her suspiciously.

She reached out and picked up the dough that Lin Xiaoshuang had kneaded herself.

Chen Tingting squeezed it and found that the feel was not right.

She then took the steamed bun and slammed it twice on the solid wood dining table.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The voice was deep and extremely hardcore.

The entire dining table was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Bai Li's action of picking up food froze in mid-air.

Li Jiaxin covered her cheek and stared at Lin Xiaoshuang:

"Damn, Xiaoshuang, did you throw a brick at me?"

Chen Tingting put down the weapon-like steamed bun and turned to look at Lin Xiaoshuang, whose face was flushed red:

"Xiao Shuang...did you show this steamed bun porn? It's so hard."
