Shenhe took three steamed buns from the kitchen, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to her as payment for Li Yuetong.

By the door, Li Yuetong leaned lazily against the shoe cabinet, reached out to take the bag and looked inside. Her face turned slightly embarrassed, and she couldn't help but bite her lip.

"Mr. Shen...do you only have three steamed buns?"

"Hmm? You think it's not enough? You're still thinking about your husband and want to bring him more food back?"

Shenhe bent down, bracing his arms on either side of her body, trapping her in his embrace. There was no way she could escape. Their noses were almost touching, and the distance between them was only a fist's width.

It's that same oppressive pose again!

This made Li Yuetong's heart skip a beat. She loved this feeling so much! Oh no! It's sticky again.

She hurriedly shook her head, turned her pretty face away, and whispered in protest, "No...no, I'm yours now, I wouldn't have designs on anyone else. I just feel that after a whole day's work, it's a little embarrassing to only bring back three steamed buns..."

"Look at me," Shenhe commanded softly.

Li Yuetong obediently turned her head back.

Li Yuetong had just reached the door and hadn't even had a chance to knock when the door opened from the inside.

Li Wei looked at her, his voice filled with worry, "Wife, why are you so late?"

Li Yuetong dared not meet his gaze, hurriedly looked away, and forced herself to remain calm as she walked into the house.

Her father-in-law glanced at the bag in her hand, then lowered his head and sighed heavily.

The mother-in-law scrutinized her from head to toe, her eyes revealing a mixture of understanding and anger, yet she dared not speak out. In the end, she only glanced at her foolish son, who knew nothing at all, with a look of heartache.

Feeling flustered under such gazes, Li Yuetong handed her the steamed bun and just wanted to hide in the bedroom as soon as possible.

"How come there are only three steamed buns? You were gone all day and this is all you brought back?" The mother-in-law's voice was very dissatisfied.

Li Yuetong was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and felt guilty all she wanted to do was hide back in bed as soon as possible.

"Mr. Shen said that food is extremely important right now, and going out to find supplies is risking our lives, so I had no choice. He also said that we don't know when the power and gas will be cut off, which is why I came back late. I've been kneading dough all day, I'm exhausted, I'm going to sleep now."

Li Wei's eyes immediately filled with guilt, blaming himself for his incompetence, and he quickly protected her: "Mom, let Yue Tong go and rest. She's worked all day and must be exhausted."

Hearing Li Wei defend her, Li Yuetong paused, feeling a pang of shame. She felt she had wronged him, but... what's done is done...

"Hmph, silly boy." Li Wei's mother didn't say anything more, took the steamed bun, turned around and went to the kitchen to put it away.

Back in the bedroom, Li Yuetong didn't even change her clothes before lying down on the bed.

She didn't dare wear pajamas, afraid they would be too conspicuous and Li Wei would overthink things, especially since her period had just ended today.

Li Wei followed her in and saw that she had already lain down, so he carefully lay down on the other side and asked nervously in a low voice, "..."

"Yuetung, would you like... would you like me to massage you to help you relax?"

"No! Don't touch me..."

Li Yuetong reacted unusually strongly, shrinking her body towards the edge of the bed and turning her back to him. "I've worked all day, and my whole body aches. Please don't touch me."

Li Wei was a little embarrassed, his face turning slightly pale. Suddenly, he noticed a red mark on her neck, his heart tightened, and he said in a flustered voice,

"Yue Tong, you... what's that red mark on your neck? Did he... did he bully you?"

Li Yuetong's heart skipped a beat.

She saw more than one; she clearly saw no fewer than dozens while taking a bath at Mr. Shen's house.

Mr. Shen is a bastard.

She tried to remain calm. "No, Mr. Shen is a good person. He's stayed in the bedroom all day and hasn't been to the kitchen. I just accidentally got burned by the steam, it's nothing. Go to sleep, I'm very tired. Don't come near me tonight, my body aches."

Li Wei finally felt relieved, thinking he had been overthinking things, but then felt guilty towards his wife.

"Okay, I won't touch you. You get some rest. I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."

After saying that, Li Wei carried a new quilt out of the bedroom.
