After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

Without Gu Yu, the little dumpling, to mediate, Lin Hao was unsure how to get along with Gu Liunian.

Although she defied Lin's mother today, which was unusual for her, it doesn't mean she has the courage to completely expose herself. Therefore, her behavior in front of Gu Liunian cannot be too different from that of the original owner.

The problem is that she has no memory of the original owner and has no idea how to avoid arousing Gu Liunian's suspicion.

While Lin Hao was still struggling with her decision, Gu Liunian, who had finished washing up, frowned as he looked at the person still sitting motionless in front of the dressing table.

He asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?" As he asked this, he was thinking, "Is she still worried about her mother?"

"Ah, no!" The person, who was lost in thought, was startled by the sudden sound and answered instinctively.

"Since you're alright, why don't you go wash up?" Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to have anything really wrong, so Gu Liunian asked casually.

"Ah, um, I'll go right away, I'll go right away!" Lin Hao said, hurriedly beckoning Fu Cui into the bathroom.

Seeing the person who looked like they were being chased by a dog, Gu Liunian raised an eyebrow. It seemed that during his absence, his little wife had undergone some changes that he was unaware of.

When Lin Hao finally came out after dawdling for half an hour, Gu Liunian was leaning against the headboard, reading a book in his hand.

That was a storybook that Lin Hao was reading during the day. It was about a poor scholar who failed the imperial examinations repeatedly and a beautiful fox spirit. The content was rather... erotic!

She had clearly tucked it under the blanket, afraid that Gu Yu, the little dumpling, might accidentally find it.

Can anyone tell her why it's in Gu Liunian's hands now? And Gu Liunian, what kind of look is that? Why is he looking at her like she's a scoundrel?

Ahem, although this book isn't exactly serious, what single woman in her late twenties hasn't read a few books that depict fairies fighting? That's perfectly normal! Definitely!

Gu Liunian looked at Lin Hao with amusement. She had just taken a bath, and her whole body was still steaming with moisture. Her big, watery eyes darted around, and her cheeks were flushed. The blush spread and mingled with the water droplets dripping from her hair, extending deep into her inner garment...

Gu Liunian's eyes darkened, and he said in a slightly lower, husky voice, "You like this?"

Lin Hao nodded subconsciously, but when she realized what she had done, she immediately waved her hands frantically: "No, no, I don't like it, I don't like it at all, I don't know what this says."

As she spoke, she tried to snatch the storybook from Gu Liunian's hands.

However, Gu Liunian pulled her into his arms with a sudden force.

"If you like this, you don't need to read the storybook. You can tell me, hmm?" With the lingering sound of "hmm," the warmth of his breath clearly reached Lin Hao's earlobe and neck, causing a string of tiny goosebumps to rise on that spot.

Lin Hao froze completely, stammering, "No, no, I don't like it!" Her voice was trembling with a sob. She tried to break free from Gu Liunian's embrace.

But Gu Liunian easily neutralized her strength. He hugged Lin Hao even tighter and reached out to stroke the blush on Lin Hao's neck.

"Here, and here, why are they all red?" His fingers moved slowly as he spoke, and wherever they touched, it was as if the skin was on fire.

Finally, the finger lingered on the full, rosy lips, gently caressing them.

In a daze, Lin Hao found herself lying on the bed, with Gu Liunian hovering above her. Before she could say anything, a passionate kiss was already upon her.

……

Lin Hao felt that Gu Liunian must be a demon, or at least one who practiced the evil art of absorbing yin to replenish yang. Otherwise, why would he be able to go out to work so early, while she could only stay in bed recuperating and couldn't even move around much?

God knows, faced with the little bun's concerned gaze, she was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.
