I transmigrated to the 1970s and became the female lead's vicious stepsister.

"Don't be angry, okay? I swear, I really don't like Gu Chenzhou." Su Lingwu raised her fair little hand and swore.

This man is terrifying when he's jealous.

Her lips were swollen and burning from all the kisses.

At such close range, her dark, moist eyes were full of flattery as she stared at him with such a soft and adorable gaze, and Fu Linchuan's heart melted completely.

His rough, large hands gently caressed her delicate face, which was as soft as tofu; he dared not use too much force.

My thumb traced across her swollen lips, which now resembled ripe cherries, tempting me to pick them.

Her small, delicate face was so adorable; Fu Linchuan felt like he was poisoned by her.

She was poisoned by someone named Su Lingwu.

Once you're hooked, it seeps into your bones and you can't quit.

"Forget him, and like me instead, okay?"

"I can give you so much more, whatever you want!"

Fu Linchuan knew that Su Lingwu's feelings for him were not nearly as deep as his.

Perhaps, to her, she was an unexpected intruder.

They forcefully entered her life and disrupted her plans.

Being together now is just going with the flow, not out of genuine affection.

He originally just wanted to take responsibility; Su Lingwu had saved him, and he should treat her well.

But now... his thoughts have changed.

He craved more.

He wanted a response from her.

Su Lingwu stared blankly into Fu Linchuan's eyes, as if a whirlpool was drawing her in.

Her experiences from childhood have taught her to be wary of everyone and to maintain a safe distance in order to avoid getting hurt.

She also discovered that she seemed incapable of loving someone.

Before she traveled through time, although many people pursued her, she never wanted to be in a relationship or get married.

After traveling back to the 1970s, not wanting to face the complicated relationships within the Su family, marrying Fu Linchuan was her first choice, as it would allow her to escape her family of origin as quickly as possible.

She never thought about how the two of them could develop a deep connection; they could simply treat each other with respect. Of course, she wouldn't refuse to fulfill the marital obligations she was supposed to.

To put it bluntly, it's all about physical attraction, not emotional connection.

Besides, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage being with someone of Fu Linchuan's caliber.

When fate brings us together, we gather; when fate ends, we part.

The beginning of a relationship is accidental, and its end is commonplace.

Gathering and parting are all predestined, gain and loss depend entirely on fate.

Relationships between people—family, friendship, and love—are never something that can be forced.

Before she transmigrated, she had few relatives and friends, and she wouldn't deliberately seek them out after transmigrating.

Xu Meili and Su Wu's care for her was something she hadn't expected, but she was open-minded and accepted the responsibility that came with this identity.

But she never imagined that Fu Linchuan would treat her like this...

Faced with such sincere and passionate feelings, I subconsciously wanted to escape, my eyes darted away, and my head tilted to one side.

"I……"

Fu Linchuan wouldn't allow her to escape. He turned her around with both hands and said, "Lingwu, give me a chance. I will prove to you that I am worthy of your trust and will not let you down."

"you……"

"Xiao Wu'er, are you home?" Before Su Lingwu could return, Xu Meili's voice came from the courtyard.

"mom!"

Su Lingwu pushed Fu Linchuan aside, opened the door, and sure enough, it was her biological mother, Xu Meili, who had arrived.

"Mom, aren't you at work? Why are you here at this hour?"

"You silly girl, your big day is in two days. I have to help you with the arrangements. I've asked the factory for a few days off. I'll go back to work after you leave. A few days won't make a difference."

"Look, Mom bought eight pounds of fruit candy and some red paper. We'll give each of our guests a packet with eight candies inside. How impressive will that be!"

She wanted her daughter to have a grand and dignified wedding, so that no one would look down on her.

She got those eight catties of sugar coupons by colluding with many people in the factory; she'll pay them back slowly later.

"And these melon seeds, I had to ask a lot of people to get them for me. They're all homemade and very fragrant. You should try some."

I grabbed a handful and put it in my daughter's hand.

A sour feeling welled up in Su Lingwu's nose and rushed to her eyes.

I picked up a couple and cracked them open. "Mmm, they smell so good, Mom."

"Of course, I only picked the ones from skilled craftsmen, and they're all big, plump sunflower seeds. We can't let people laugh at us for having such a happy occasion."

"What else is needed at home? Who should we hire to cook?"

"How's the preparation going? Have you arranged for the tables and chairs to be ready?"

"Mom, Dad asked Aunt to help with the arrangements."

As expected, everyone loves their own child. Xu Meili was just worried that she might overlook something and become a laughing stock, while Du Lijuan was thinking of just getting by.

"Mom, give them all to me, I'll put them in Xiao Wu'er's room." Fu Linchuan came out and took the things from his mother-in-law's hands.

"Lin Chuan, you've been suffering these past few days, staying in the old house. It's a good thing it's this time of year; if it were winter, you would have caught a cold."

"Cough cough..." Su Lingwu secretly pinched Fu Linchuan.

"Mom, I'm not wronged."

Fu Linchuan felt unusually guilty. For the past two nights, he had been sneaking into his wife's room every night and sleeping with her in his arms.

"By the way, Mom has tidied up the courtyard in the county town. You can go back there to rest on the wedding day. You need to catch the train to Beijing the next day, so it will be convenient to go there."

"Guoyao and I are staying at your maternal grandmother's house. I've sent Guoyao there now, so it'll be more convenient for us to come here these days."

Xu Meili made a point of giving her daughter and son-in-law space, after all, it was their wedding night, and they were both experienced, so Xu Meili knew exactly what to do.

Upon hearing his mother-in-law's words, Fu Linchuan's eyes immediately lit up. "Thank you, Mom!"

"mom!"

Su Lingwu never expected that her own mother would give her a room for her wedding night.

"That was originally your house. Guoyao and I have always lived in the west room, which is enough for us. The east room is reserved for you, so you'll have a place to stay when you come back."

Xu Meili thought that if the couple brought their grandson back in the future, they could stay there.

These past few days, Xu Meili has cleaned the house thoroughly, made new bedding, and bought some daily necessities. Her daughter is married far away, otherwise she would have taken all of these things to her husband's family.

"Mom, that yard was bought for you. Please feel free to live there. The reason we put Xiao Wu'er's name on it is to prevent the Zhao family from causing trouble. You don't need to be so polite. That's your home."

Fu Linchuan never intended to ask his mother-in-law for the house back.

He will buy his wife more and better houses in the future, and he doesn't care about this small courtyard.

"Good child, Mom knows your filial piety."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I need to go find your aunt and ask her how the preparations are going. What's still missing? Get ready quickly." Xu Meili came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

The two people in the courtyard looked at each other and smiled.
