Jiang Zao retorted, "Then why did I praise your skills in that area, saying you could do it seven or eight times a night? That's not true, is it?"

Lu Yanxun was stunned by what he heard and forgot to speak for a moment.

Jiang Zao noticed the change in him.

As if she had discovered a new continent, she teased him in a mocking tone: "I thought you would just give me a perfunctory thank you like before, but I didn't expect... as expected, men really care about this."

For some unknown reason, Lu Yanxun's ears began to feel hot.

He turned his head away, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to Jiang Zao anymore.

This woman...

hateful.

Jiang Zao sensed a feeling of "shame and indignation to the point of death" from his action.

She quickly realized she had crossed the line.

Oh no, she forgot again that Lu Yanxun was a victim of coercion.

Jiang Zao inwardly groaned, regretting that she had let her curiosity get the better of her.

She scratched her head awkwardly and tried to change the subject to salvage the situation:

"Oh, right, I also mentioned you and your childhood sweetheart. But you probably heard it too. I didn't bring it up myself; Ye Xiaolan asked me first. In that situation, I definitely didn't want her to look down on me, so I just made up a few things on the spot. If you mind, I apologize. I'm sorry."

Changing the subject was a good idea, and the heat behind Lu Yanxun's ear quickly faded.

"I don't mind," Lu Yanxun said calmly.

This tone made it impossible for Jiang Zao to discern any emotion.

Isn't that his ideal woman?

You don't mind at all?

Jiangzao felt as if her heart had been scratched by a cat's claws.

A gossipy mentality is at play.

She tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't resist.

But she didn't dare ask directly.

So, before asking, Jiang Zao gave him a heads-up: "Lu Yanxun, I have a question for you."

"Ah."

Jiang Zao cautiously sought Lu Yanxun's opinion: "What I want to ask you is about that Miss Su. If I ask, will you mind? If you mind, I won't ask."

"There's nothing worth asking about her, let's leave it at that for today."

Jiang Zao was still pondering how to ask the right question so as not to anger Lu Yanxun.

Before the conversation could even begin, Lu Yanxun abruptly cut off the topic.

The attitude was unyielding and firm.

Jiang Zao knew that she had once again crossed the line with Lu Yanxun's bottom line.

But there is no way.

Lu Yanxun's tone was already so forceful; she probably wouldn't get any more information from him if she asked any further.

They might not get away with it.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with her anyway, so I won't say anything.

Jiangzao, still harboring some lingering curiosity, gave up.

She lay back down on the bed, pulled the covers over herself, and closed her eyes.

This time, as soon as she closed her eyes, Jiang Zao really fell asleep.

Before Jiang Zao fell asleep, Lu Yanxun did not look at her.

He only turned to look at her when he heard her long, even breaths.

At this moment, Lu Yanxun no longer appeared calm and composed as before.

He stared blankly at Jiang Zao's face, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

This woman, why does she have so many questions?

Instead of taking a proper afternoon nap, they keep asking trivial and irrelevant questions.

It was too trivial and insignificant for him to even bother answering.

Actually, he is not a patient person.

Jiang Zao, fast asleep, was completely unaware that Lu Yanxun was watching her.

She slept soundly and had a sweet dream.

I dreamt that two little babies were hugging her legs and kept calling her "Mommy".

In her dream, Jiang Zao told them that she was not their mother.

But they insisted that it was true and kept pestering her to hug them.

The two babies, a boy and a girl, are exceptionally beautiful and adorable.

She looked like a little dumpling, all cuddly and adorable, and I kept calling "Mama, Mama" in her ear.

Although Jiangzao is not their mother, she is still very happy when she holds them.

My heart felt as sweet as if I had eaten honey.

Jiang Zao slept until evening.

She only woke up from her dream reluctantly when she heard someone calling her.

When I woke up, I saw my younger sister, Jiang Guo, standing by the bed, holding an apple and crunching on it.

"Sister, you're awake."

Seeing that Jiang Zao was awake, Jiang Guo sat down by the bed and took another bite of the apple.

She mumbled incoherently, "Why did you sleep so long? It's almost dark and you still aren't up. Sis, do you want an apple?"

"Where did the apple come from?" Jiang Zao had just woken up, and her voice was a little hoarse.

She remembered that there wasn't any at noon today; if there had been, her mother wouldn't have refused to give her any.

Jiang Guo replied obediently, "Uncle and Aunt came and brought apples to see you. Mom said my brother and I can each have one. Sister, the apples are so delicious, you can have one too. I've already washed them."

She hadn't eaten an apple in a long time, and this time she was only able to eat one because of her older sister.

Jiang Guo kindly handed a washed apple to Jiang Zao.

The apples were small, but they were bright red and juicy, and quite pretty.

Jiang Zao didn't like apples at all before she transmigrated, but now that she saw them, she actually felt a little tempted.

"Okay, I'll get up and eat."

"Oh." Jiang Guo nodded, then shouted towards the door, "Brother-in-law, my sister's awake! She wants an apple, come and pick her up!"

Jiangzao: "..."

She regretted saying she wanted to eat the apple.

"Just help me up," Jiang Zao said, speechless.

Jiang Guo shook her head and took another bite of the apple: "I can't. My parents told me not to touch you casually. Your brother-in-law can handle it. He also said to call him when you wake up."

"Then I won't eat it, you can have the apple." Jiang Zao pulled the blanket over her face. "I'm going back to sleep."

However, Lu Yanxun arrived very quickly.

Before Jiang Guo could even speak, he arrived.

Jiang Guo quickly jumped off the bed to make room for Lu Yanxun.

"Brother-in-law, my sister said she's not eating apples anymore, she wants to keep sleeping," Jiang Guo said to Lu Yanxun.

After saying that, he took a bite of the apple.

Jiang Zao, unable to bear it any longer, said: "Jiang Guo, can't even an apple shut you up?"

Jiang Guo blinked, wondering why her sister had suddenly gotten angry.

She chewed the apple quietly, somewhat puzzled.

"Guozi, you can go out and play first." Lu Yanxun told Jiang Guo to leave first.

Jiang Guo didn't want to leave; she wanted to talk to her sister.

But her sister seemed to be in a bad mood, so Jiang Guo didn't dare to stay any longer.

"Okay, sure." Jiang Guo obediently munched on her apple and went outside.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I was greeted by Jiang Bei, who was walking towards me.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Jiang Guo asked.

"I heard you call my sister awake, so Mom asked me to come and see if she's up yet." Jiang Bei was also holding an apple and eating it.

"Don't go. My brother-in-law is inside. My sister doesn't seem to be in a good mood," Jiang Guo said softly.

Jiang Bei subconsciously lowered his voice: "Huh? Why? Did my sister and brother-in-law have a fight?"

"I think so, but I don't understand either." Jiang Guo thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out. "How should I put it? It seems like my sister doesn't want to see her husband. Just now, when I called him over, she heard me and got angry and covered her head."
