Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The night was extremely peaceful. Because the light in the room was dim, Li Junlan did not know that the sky had already brightened up until the sun was high up in the sky.
Li Junlan opened her eyes and realized that there was no one around her. She immediately felt lonely and empty. However, at this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open slightly. Xu Wenping knocked on the door.
Only then did Li Junlan realize that she was no longer in the bedroom from last night. She only knew that they had been passionate for a long time last night until she finally lost consciousness.
She could still vaguely remember the last thought in her mind.
‘Oh my god! Is this man made of iron?’
At this moment, Li Junlan looked down at her clothes when she saw Xu Wenping’s strange smile at the door. Then, her body and mind were instantly wrapped in shyness.
“What are you doing?”
Li Junlan pulled the blanket up. Although there was a hint of sweetness at the corner of her mouth, she still said stiffly, “Don’t think that I’ll have a good impression of you like this. Even if you get my person, you still won’t get my heart.”
Xu Wenping, who already understood Li Jordan’s personality, chuckled and did not continue to argue with this woman. He only said softly, “Get up for lunch,” “Lunch?”
Li Junlan was surprised. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. Only then did she realize that it was already afternoon. She hurriedly sat up from the bed and went to get her clothes. “I haven’t finished my work today!”
Even so, she still couldn’t find her clothes after searching left and right. After all, Li Junlan’s clothes weren’t very suitable to wear after last night’s battle.
Xu Wenping, who raised his eyebrows, once again enjoyed the scenery. Then, he threw in a set of clothes and said, “Wear this! I asked the housekeeper to buy the clothes according to your size, and your clothes have already been thrown into the trash can.”
Li Junlan’s face turned red when she heard that. She then remembered that the pair of jeans she wore yesterday was already wet.
“Humph!”
Li Junlan snorted coldly with an uncertain expression on her face. She picked up her clothes and closed the door with a bang.
Not long after, Li Junlan walked out of the door with a strange expression. She said to Xu Wenping, “Your aesthetic sense is quite good.”
She was wearing an ultra-short, tight-fitting white T-shirt and black bell-bottom pants with slits that reached her calves. To be precise, it was a pair of Korean slim-looking pencil pants. It was paired with a pair of comfortable white shoes that increased her height. It was simple and versatile. Most importantly, it was comfortable.
He was used to seeing Li Junlan’s valiant attire. At this moment, these two ordinary clothes accentuated her good figure even more. No, it should be said that the clothes she wore in the past were a little unnecessary for Li Junlan’s beauty.
With Li Junlan’s appearance, no matter what clothes she wore, she would look beautiful.
Although he was shocked, Xu Wenping only shrugged his shoulders. After all, this was not his taste. He only instructed Nami to prepare a set of clothes.
This was Nami’s judgment.
Li Junlan was a little happy, and her eyes showed it. As she walked out of the door, she whispered, “Is this your gift to me?”
“If you say so,” Xu Wenping said softly. Then, he reached out and put his arm around Li Junlan’s waist. The latter’s face turned red. She looked sideways at Xu Wenping, who was staring straight at her. She felt that this side profile was even more handsome.
She couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, ‘If only this man belonged to me alone.’
Her mind was filled with thoughts, and the nervousness from work just now was thrown out of her mind for a moment.
When the two of them arrived at the dining room, Xu Wenping’s mother had already prepared the dishes. The dishes were simple. There was a stir-fried vegetables, a ginger oil wheat dish, a mapo tofu, a green pepper shredded pork, and a simple seaweed egg soup.
Three vegetarian dishes and one meat dish represented Xu Wenping’s mother’s mood. If she was happy enough, there should be big fish and meat on the table.
Xu Wenping’s father was very pleased with himself. When he saw the two of them approaching and in such an intimate position, he immediately smiled and said, “Miss Li, come quickly, sit down and eat.”
“Thank you, Dad!” Li Junlan agreed.
Mother Xu’s expression was not good. When she saw Xu Wenping and Li Junlan sit down, she said, “I’m full!”
Mother Xu had mixed feelings. Previously, she was worried that her son would not be able to get a wife, so when she saw Su Yurou, she was the happiest.
In fact, she had never agreed to Old Master Li’s betrothal of his granddaughter to her son no matter what. However, since Old Master Li was an elder and there was no effect in rejecting him, she could only let him be.
Mother Xu’s final fantasy was that the girl would never agree. After all, it was a new society, and Mother Xu was still like this. She did not believe that a young woman would agree to be a ‘second wife.’
However, seeing the harmonious scene today, Mother Xu understood that no matter what she thought, it was useless.
“Miss Li, what are you going to do after dinner? If you really can’t do it, you can just stay at home for a few more days!”
Father Xu was very concerned about Li Junlan.
Li Junlan smiled as she ate. “It’s okay, Dad. My workplace is in the city. When I’m done with work, I’ll come back often to see the two elders.”
Mother Xu was gnashing her teeth.
This little mouth was really sweet.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Li Junlan turn to look at her and gently say, “Mom, daughter-in-law, just entered the door. Although we haven’t done anything yet, I’m still considered half a member of the Xu family. If there’s anything wrong, 1 hope Mom won’t be angry.”
She exploded.
Mother Xu felt as if flowers had bloomed in her heart and she had eaten the sweetness of honey. However, she was conflicted. Mother Xu seemed to have thought of something.
After smiling and nodding at Li Junlan, she looked coldly at her husband and said, “That’s right, old fart. Yesterday, your second son called and said that the old man’s health is not very good. He wants you to go back and take a look.” Mother Xu was talking about Xu Wenping’s Second Uncle. As for the old man, he was Xu Wenping’s grandfather.
Because Xu Wenping’s parents had become urban residents after working in their early years, they had been living in Jin Hai City. However, their hometown was actually in the countryside.
It was originally a small matter, but when he heard this, Father Xu’s face immediately darkened and flickered.
Mother Xu sneered.
Embarrassment flashed, and longing and worry flashed across his face. Father Xu looked at Xu Wenping and smiled. “Wenping, why don’t you go to the countryside to visit your grandfather first?”
“Although it’s a little disturbing your sweet period with the Li family’s young lady, the two of you can also go together…”
“I won’t go.” Li Junlan’s expression flickered. Although she was born in the Li family, she was in a difficult position..
