After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

After Jiang Zhiyun finished speaking, she said to her mother-in-law, "You should eat too, Mother."

Yang Ge'er had already eaten a piece by himself.

Just as Zhang was mentally preparing herself to eat, she discovered that Xie Shuheng and Yang Ge'er had already taken a second serving.

Yang Ge'er's third chopsticks, fourth chopsticks...

They all rely on stir-fried pork intestines and braised pork.

Zhang was suspicious, but after taking a bite, she became completely obedient.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with not even a hint of the smell of intestines, it was indeed...delicious!

After the burst of juice, Zhang wanted to take more, but Yang Ge'er had already taken too much and took it all.

"It's delicious! Auntie~"

"Grandma doesn't like it, can Auntie make it for me next time?"

"Okay!" Jiang Zhiyun patted his head and smiled.

Xie Shuheng, for reasons unknown, felt a surge of competitive spirit and said to Yang Ge'er, "Since it was made by your aunt, how can your uncle not eat it?"

"Uncle is jealous~" Yang Ge'er was just like a little devil.

"No." Xie Shuheng paused for a moment before denying it.

Jiang Zhiyun felt that the child was too bold. Although he was Xie Shuheng's nephew, he shouldn't have said that. What if he touched a nerve and went crazy?

It's really childlike.

Yang Ge'er continued, "Uncle is lying. Before, Father would always try to compete with me for who was more important to Mother. Father said it was jealousy, a sign of how much he loved Mother!"

"So Uncle was just like Father."

Yang Ge'er added a ladle of water to his bowl without thinking: "Drink some water, Uncle. Otherwise it will be very sour."

Zhang laughed nonstop after hearing this.

I figured that after dinner, the tea my son drank would start to take effect.

We need to finish this quickly: "Eat up, it'll get cold soon."

"Yang-ge'er, after we finish eating, Grandma will take you out for a walk, okay?"

"Okay!" Yang Ge'er nodded with a smile; he loved going out to play the most!

After finishing his meal, Xie Shuheng took a cold shower and then went back to his room to rest.

Jiang Zhiyun was wondering why this person was using cold water to take a bath. She saw nothing wrong with it, and since it was already evening, she simply went back to her room to sleep.

When Xie Shuheng returned to the room, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his cheeks were still somewhat red.

Jiang Zhiyun found it strange and moved closer to him: "What's wrong? Did you eat too much spicy food tonight? You're feeling unwell."

"No." Xie Shuheng only felt a little hot all over, as if a fire was raging inside him.

He restrained himself, and Jiang Zhiyun didn't notice. She took a change of clothes and said, "The hot water is ready. I'm going to take a bath."

After a long day, my clothes were covered in dust.

"Ah."

His hands were already trembling a little, and he picked up a book from the side to read.

Not a single word went into her head, but she kept watching anyway, because her ears were so sensitive that the sound of water coming from her side always entered her ears very easily.

Xie Shuheng felt that he was strange.

But we must also exercise restraint.

He's going to sleep on the floor later.

That one thought almost made me fall into a daze and lie down.

Jiang Zhiyun fastened her clothes and walked into the inner room. Her long hair was still wet, and she was drying it.

Upon seeing Jiang Zhiyun's slender waist, he immediately turned his head away and remained silent.

Jiang Zhiyun: "..."

She really didn't know when she had become fond of Xie Shuheng, and why he was suddenly giving her attitude now.

She was determined to finish what needed to be done today; for the sake of her own life, she wouldn't allow Xie Shuheng to misunderstand her in the slightest.

Are you feeling unwell? Or are you dissatisfied with me?

Xie Shuheng's mind was in a mess, and even a casual remark from Jiang Zhiyun stirred up ripples in his heart.

Then he said, "Never."

"Get some rest. You sleep on the bed tonight, and I'll sleep on the floor."

Then, fearing she might misunderstand, he added, "It's cool."

That's the truth, it's really hot right now.

Jiang Zhiyun pinched her chin, thinking that this matter must be more than just a simple one.

The mother and son had just said they wanted to take things further, and now he wants to take a step back. Is he trying to see if she has any ulterior motives?

Jiang Zhiyun said, "Don't go down."

She curled up small and slipped past Xie Shuheng to the inside of the bed. She was still holding his hand, saying, "Let's rest here."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Xie Shuheng: "..." When have I ever been afraid of what she's doing? He's the one in danger right now, okay?

But this silly girl couldn't notice anything at all.

This left him somewhat helpless; the more things were like this, the more he needed to restrain himself.

Jiang Zhiyun gripped his wrist tightly, determined not to let him get down. Xie Shuheng nodded: "Yes."

"Then you should rest quickly, and so should I."

"Hmm." Jiang Zhiyun felt a little relieved, but in her heart she cursed Xie Shuheng as a "bastard," certain that he was testing her.

But falling asleep the moment her head hits the bed has been her instinct these past two days.

Xie Shuheng was about to get up while she was asleep.

At that moment, Jiang Zhiyun placed her hand on his abdomen.

Xie Shuheng was stiff all over, and he couldn't relax at all now.

Then Jiang Zhiyun went even further, hanging on to him like a clingy koala.

Xie Shuheng: "..." Just bear with it, just bear with it a little longer.

By the dim candlelight of the night, one could still make out Jiang Zhiyun's appearance and the corners of her lips.

As if drawn to her, he moved closer and closer to her lips.

Closer...closer...

Just as they were about to touch it, a cold wind blew in.

Xie Shuheng immediately stood up, disregarding everything, and quickly walked towards the wooden tub to pour cold water on himself.

Jiang Zhiyun felt that no one was around her and her hands were empty. She woke up slightly and saw movement outside the door. She recognized Xie Shuheng as the figure.

Then I could sleep peacefully.

Xie Shuheng soaked in the water for a long time before returning to his room. He tucked the bedding from the floor into a corner and only began to drift off to sleep when the rooster crowed.

Looking at Jiang Zhiyun, he felt completely satisfied.

In the stillness of the night, Xie Shuheng realized that sleeping where she could see him had, without her noticing, brought her a sense of peace.

If only things could stay like this forever.

When Jiang Zhiyun woke up the next day, she saw Xie Shuheng sleeping in the corner. She almost stepped on him while looking for him.

Right now... I just feel strange. Wasn't he in bed before he went to sleep? Could he be sleepwalking?

Jiang Zhiyun was thinking about how to drag him onto the bed, what if he would blame her when he woke up?

Who knew that Xie Shuheng would mutter to himself, "Yunniang."

Jiang Zhiyun heard it all clearly. The alarm bells were blaring. Was Xie Shuheng dreaming of killing her...?

He dreamt of himself, but Jiang Zhiyun didn't believe it could be a good dream, especially since Xie Shuheng was frowning.

She planned to lean closer to his lips, ready to hear more clearly, lest he say something bad.

Xie Shuheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of peach blossom eyes stared at her tremblingly, with long eyelashes that seemed to brush against her cheeks.

Then, when she was completely unprepared, Xie Shuheng moved closer to her.

This was the first time Jiang Zhiyun had such physical intimacy, and her surprise gave him an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Immediately, Xie Shuheng seemed dissatisfied.

He gestured for her to close her eyes, which only heightened the sense of surprise.
