Wen Wen looked at Shen Tulong's strong appearance and said weakly:

"How could you lock them both in the house? Is that really okay? After all, they are elders..."

Shen Tulong disagrees.

Wen Wen patiently advised: "If others knew about this, they would definitely gossip..."

In fact, Wenwen knew in her heart that the aunts and uncles were not doing a good job as elders, but she didn't want the situation to be too awkward.

Shen Tulong's tone was cold: "As an elder, you came to live in my house and gave me instructions in the middle of the night. I hate people who are nosy the most."

Shen Tulong walked straight back to the master bedroom:

"Don't worry about it. They gossip about me all day long in the village, taking advantage of their seniority. I don't want to give in to them all the time."

He put the quilt back on the floor.

"It's getting late, go to bed early."

Wenwen glanced towards the locked door, her expression filled with worry.

She whispered, "I just don't think it's right... Actually, even if we really took the blanket away, it wouldn't be a big deal. To put it bluntly, they're just suspecting we're making it up and not believing we're married. It's just for tonight, so let's just take it away."

"no!"

Shen Tulong retorted with a serious face.

"Let's put things in perspective. Even though we're not a real couple, if they really take the quilt from this room, what will we do if we get cold in the middle of the night? Why should we just go along with whatever they say?"

“They are the elders.”

"Even elders can't mess around."

Shen Tulong paused, looked at Wen Wen's worried face, and softened his tone.

"I originally made up an excuse today saying you were my wife, but I didn't expect them to believe it completely. I just wanted to give them a way out! I didn't expect them to push their buttons again and again."

Wen Wen: "One step back, and the world will be wider."

Shen Tulong hates to hear this kind of argument.

"If they were doing the right thing, I would naturally give them face, but they were clearly doing the wrong thing, so why should I back down?"

Shen Tulong sighed: "Have you always been getting along with others this way in your life? Don't you fight for yourself? Let others trample on your bottom line."

Wen Wen: "I mainly feel that... it's just a quilt, and besides, we're already in the wrong for acting together."

Shen Tulong snorted coldly.

"I'm willing to put on a show in front of them because I'm giving them face, because they took care of me back then. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't tolerate them at all."

Wen Wen: “…Yeah.”

Shen Tulong: "Also, we both know it when we play husband and wife, but to outsiders, you are my wife. These two came to get the quilt in the middle of the night, and insisted on taking it away even though you clearly said you were cold. They are clearly insulting me."

"If I really give in to them today, the whole village will know about it the next day. I don't want them to think that my 'wife' is easy to bully."

Wen Wen: “…”

It turns out that he had this consideration.

Wenwen suddenly felt something strange in her heart.

She had a vague feeling that he cared about her feelings.

Shen Tulong glanced at the dark sky outside the window and instantly returned to his previous cold state.

"Go to bed early, and leave in the afternoon after you finish your work tomorrow."

After saying that, he lay down his tall body on the mat on the floor and turned off the lights.

Wenwen lay on the bed, turned her head sideways and secretly opened one eye to look at his broad back.

Shen Tulong was lying on the floor, the moonlight outside pouring into the room, the faint light made his sturdy figure look like a small mountain.

Such a strong-minded and responsible man, does he really want to remain single all his life?

If he meets a woman he likes in the future, he will probably get married, right? What kind of woman does he like?

Wenwen felt that he would be able to take care of everything at home and take good care of his wife!

...The woman he married must be very happy.

Wenwen was thinking like this and fell asleep unknowingly.

She thought she would be nervous about being in the same room with the opposite sex, but she didn't know why, sleeping in the same room with Shen Tulong and listening to his shallow breathing, she had an inexplicable sense of security.

……

Next room.

The aunts and uncles who were locked up were a little angry.

"Are you really locking us in here?"

"Tu Long is too cruel!"

In fact, they knew Shen Tulong's strong personality. After pretending to cry quietly for a while, they quickly realized the situation and calmed down.

One of them sighed and said:

"Eh? Are we overthinking it? They are husband and wife, right? Otherwise, how could Tu Long protect her so much?"

Another person said:

"No! Think about it... With Tu Long's ability, what kind of woman can't he get? This girl looks so ordinary, she's definitely not his type."

"That's right. Wenwen has no looks and no figure. She's a timid and submissive punching bag. No one in our village would want her."

"I can't see any advantages in this girl at all."

The two of them whispered to each other in low voices.

"...Besides, we just knocked on the door and they were making the mat over there!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, look at their reactions. They weren't even wearing any clothes... I saw it when I opened the door. The mat was just rolled up! They must be a fake couple."

"Yes, it's 100% fake."

"Now he's locked us in this room. Believe it or not, they've already spread out their beds on the floor and are sleeping separately over there!"

Third Aunt sighed, "...but what can we do? Tu Long has always been strong. If we really provoke him, we can't afford it."

Sixth Aunt also looked embarrassed: "Yes, and besides, there's no way to explain Third Uncle."

"If this really gets to Third Uncle, he'll think we're causing trouble. Tu Long is rich and powerful now, and he's invested a lot of money in the village. There's really no benefit in going against him."

"But I really can't bear to be deceived by him about such an important matter as marriage."

The two sighed, feeling unwilling.

At this moment, San Gu suddenly thought of something.

"Since they're taking the initiative to play husband and wife, why don't we just add some fuel to the fire?"

Aunt Six was curious: "What kind of firewood?"

Third Aunt: "You'll know tomorrow."

The night passed like this.

Early the next morning.

The crowing of a rooster in a house in the distance woke Wenwen up.

When she opened her eyes, she found that the bedding on the floor was gone and Shen Tulong was no longer in the room.

The quilts and bedding were neatly arranged and placed against the wall.

Wenwen rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed.

At this moment, she heard knocking on the door next door.

The voices of the three aunts and six aunts were mixed with anxiety:

"Open the door quickly, we need to go to the toilet, open the door quickly..."

Wenwen got up quickly, fortunately the key was on the small cabinet next to her.

Wenwen opened the door for them while tidying up her clothes and hair.

"Third Aunt, Sixth Aunt, good morning..."

This greeting was quite awkward. The gossips in the room were obviously about to get angry but didn't dare to.

"Wenwen, you have to take care of your Tu Long! How can you treat us elders like this?"

"That's right, it would be horrifying if it got out."

The third aunt was dissatisfied: "We are here to celebrate your wedding, but we are locked up like this all night. If it gets out, people will say that you and your wife are abusing your relatives."

Wen Wen's face was filled with guilt, and she lowered her head: "I'm sorry, Third Aunt, Sixth Aunt, Tu Long has a very stubborn temper... He doesn't listen to me."

Aunt Six rolled her eyes quietly: That’s right, if someone with such a soft-hearted personality could become the head of Tu Long’s household and be his boss, that would be a miracle!
