Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"Sister~" Shang Guokang called out uncertainly.

"Hmm, Xiaokang. How are you feeling?" Shang Yanfang asked Shang Guokang with concern.

"I'm fine, sis. Where is this?" Shang Guokang looked around in confusion.

"This is my home!" Shang Yanfang thought Shang Guokang had gone mad from the cold when she heard his question.

"Sister, your belly..." Shang Guokang only then noticed Shang Yanfang's large belly and asked in confusion.

"I'm pregnant!" Shang Yanfang touched her belly, her face glowing with maternal love.

Shang Guokang sensed something was wrong. In his memory, his sister didn't have any children. What was going on?

"Sis, what time is it now?"

"Around seven o'clock in the evening."

"I'm asking what year it is, what month and day it is?" Shang Guokang looked at his older sister expectantly.

Shang Yanfang also sensed something was wrong. Her younger brother's condition was exactly the same as when she first transmigrated. But since her younger brother recognized her immediately, Shang Yanfang guessed that he must have been reborn.

"Alright, alright. Xiaokang, have something to eat, we'll talk again later." Gao Jianguo came in carrying a bowl of rice porridge.

"Eat up! We'll talk about it later," Shang Yanfang said, looking at Old Master Chen, who was sitting to the side staring at them.

Shang Guokang also felt a little hungry, so he picked up the rice porridge on the table and started drinking it.

"Alright, sis. You can talk now." Shang Guokang said after finishing his porridge in a hurry.

"Let's go to our room! Don't disturb Grandpa's sleep," Gao Jianguo said to the two siblings.

“Okay. Grandpa, you go to sleep first, we won’t disturb you.” Shang Yanfang said to Grandpa Chen.

"Alright, you two chat." It was also time for Grandpa Chen to go to bed, so he readily agreed to their suggestion.

Gao Jianguo gently supported Shang Guokang, and the three of them returned to another room.

"Xiao Kang, did you dream about something?" Shang Yanfang looked at Shang Guokang with sharp eyes.

Shang Guokang glanced at Gao Jianguo with evasive eyes, "Don't worry, Xiaokang. This is your brother-in-law, we won't hurt you."

Shang Yanfang noticed Shang Guokang's concerns and said, "Don't worry, Xiaokang, I won't hurt you." Gao Jianguo added, trying to reassure his brother-in-law.

"Yes, sis. I was dreaming," Shang Guokang said, mustering his courage.

"Was it a bad dream?" Shang Yanfang asked, staring into her younger brother's eyes.

"Yes, yes." Shang Guokang was now having trouble distinguishing between dreams and reality.

"Can you tell me what you're doing in your dreams?" Shang Yanfang asked in a voice so gentle it could drown you.

Shang Guokang seemed to be bewitched and said, "In my dream, after you went to the countryside, our family was doing well for the first year and we kept in touch. But from the second year onwards, you rarely wrote home, and later we didn't even have any news about you."

Your parents came here to look for you, searching for a whole week, but they had no news of you. Then they went back home, and their health deteriorated day by day. Then they passed away.

After my parents passed away, I rarely went home and lived with a few friends. In a minor fight, we accidentally killed someone. My friends all ran away, but I was the only one caught, taken to prison, and executed.

As Shang Yanfang listened to her younger brother's slow narration, she gently stroked Shang Guokang's big head.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaokang. Dreams can turn over." Shang Yanfang's voice rang in Shang Guokang's ears, like a large hand that could soothe all pain.

Shang Guokang's emotions gradually stabilized.

"Sleep well, Xiaokang. You'll feel better after a good night's sleep." Lying next to his sister and listening to her gentle voice, Shang Guokang felt incredibly safe and fell asleep again.

"Wife, let Xiaokang fall asleep soon!" Gao Jianguo said, looking at his brother-in-law who was already fast asleep.

In Northeast China, the large kang beds can easily accommodate seven or eight people, while the smaller ones can comfortably fit three or four.

"Okay, go to Grandpa's room and get his bedding roll." Shang Yanfang looked at her sleeping younger brother and felt a pang of heartache.

"Go to sleep!" After settling Shang Guokang in, the couple lay down.

"Honey, I'm a little hungry." Shang Yanfang looked at Gao Jianguo apologetically. She hadn't eaten properly all day because she was worried about Shang Guokang.

Now that Shang Guokang is awake, she feels a little hungry.

"What do you want to eat?" Gao Jianguo looked at Shang Yanfang with a doting expression.

"Let's eat snail rice noodles!" Shang Yanfang looked at Gao Jianguo expectantly.

"Okay, take it out, I'll cook it for you," Gao Jianguo said, playfully pinching his wife's nose.

"I want more meat." Shang Yanfang took out two bags of snail rice noodles and a box of mutton rolls and handed them to Gao Jianguo.

Gao Jianguo took the things, glanced helplessly at his increasingly obese body, and sighed in resignation.

He's gained almost ten pounds in the past few months from eating and sleeping with his wife, and his abs aren't as defined anymore.

His wife was starting to complain, but to ease her guilt about cheating, he was determined to keep her company. However, he secretly made sure to continue exercising.

He knew perfectly well that his wife was someone who cared about her appearance and figure; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so fond of his eight-pack abs every time they made love.

"Alright, honey. Dinner's ready." Shang Yanfang was already getting sleepy from waiting.

Gao Jianguo woke up immediately when he was called, but he couldn't fall asleep because he was hungry.

"Mmm~ Honey, I'm sleepy."

"Sweetie, your favorite, the snail rice noodles are ready. Get up and eat some before we go back to sleep." Gao Jianguo adored his wife's cuteness.

"Hmm~Okay~" Shang Yanfang responded verbally, but did not make any move.

Gao Jianguo kissed his young wife's face several more times before bringing the snail rice noodles closer to Shang Yanfang.

The irresistible aroma of snail rice noodles immediately filled the room, successfully waking Shang Yanfang and Shang Guokang up with its mouthwatering smell.

"Brother-in-law, what's that smell? It's awful." Shang Guokang asked Gao Jianguo, who was standing to the side, through the dim light of the kerosene lamp.

"Xiaokang, you're awake? How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Shang Yanfang heard her younger brother's voice and, who had just been refusing to get out of bed, sat up abruptly.

"Wife, don't rush, slow down." Gao Jianguo was scared half to death by his wife's actions. This was a pregnant woman who was six months pregnant.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm fine. But how did I end up in your room?" Shang Guokang seemed to have no memory of anything after waking up.

"Are you really alright?" Shang Yanfang looked at Shang Guokang with a suspicious gaze.
