Xu Musen cleared his throat and rubbed her head, "Alright, alright, you just rest well these next few days, and I'll take you shopping for some clothes later."
An Nuannuan nodded happily.
"By the way, Yao Mingyue will be coming over later, and... try not to provoke her too much. She has a temper, let's just avoid any unpleasantness."
Thinking about the impending shared meal, Xu Musen couldn't help but remind her.
An Nuannuan listened and nodded, "I'll try my best."
"? What do you mean 'try your best'? You didn't invite her here with some ulterior motives, did you?"
Xu Musen couldn't resist pinching her cheek.
"Because... I can only guarantee that I won't be unhappy with you. I can't guarantee that about other people..."
An Nuannuan's speech was muffled as her cheek was pinched, but her firm tone made Xu Musen burst into laughter.
"Then for my sake, can you not get angry with her?"
"Your sake... What is she to you that I have to give her face? She must be really amazing..."
An Nuannuan muttered under her breath, having apparently learned to be sarcastically passive-aggressive, especially with such a serious tone.
Xu Musen couldn't help but laugh inwardly; he obviously preferred the Nuannuan who had developed her little personality over the previous silly and dazed one.
It's because he cared that he got jealous.
"Nuannuan, you're the lady of the house. You should possess the grace of a hostess, not stoop to her level. Behave magnanimously—that should be doable, right?"
Xu Musen tried a different approach.
Indeed, An Nuannuan, sensitive to the keywords she loved to hear, hummed in acknowledgment.
Xu Musen, smiling, pinched the corners of her mouth again. He felt that ever since they had fully committed to each other,
Nuannuan seemed to have grown livelier, which was probably a sign of newfound confidence.
Even if they fought or argued in the future, all Nuannuan had to say was, "You think you can undo what's been done and return my maidenhood?"
Then Xu Musen would be unable to stay angry. A woman's innocence, that was her strongest leverage and confidence.
"Xu Musen, I want to eat cake tonight!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?"
Xu Musen asked with a smile; of course, Nuannuan didn't really need to lose weight since she naturally had a bit of baby fat.
And the weight she did have was all in the right places.
Of course, girls always have a skewed perception of their weight.
Some girls who barely weigh a hundred pounds start lamenting that they're too fat after gaining a pound or two from a meal.
Then there are those slightly plump beauties who weigh more than they are tall, claiming that's what a healthy figure looks like.
Xu Musen didn't judge, because he liked neither too thin nor too fat; Nuannuan was just right for him.
Speaking, An Nuannuan still looked down somewhat self-consciously; she thought she was too plump in some areas.
But it seemed like Xu Musen liked it that way.
Recalling last night, she still felt like she hadn't washed off all the drool...
Blushing, she nudged him again, "Then it's okay for me to lose weight... I read online that there are surgeries for liposuction at the hospital."
Xu Musen immediately disapproved, looking at An Nuannuan seriously, "I absolutely forbid you from doing anything that harms your body, understand?"
An Nuannuan simply looked at him, saying nothing.
"What I mean is, I'll like you no matter what. Besides, they say a family's prosperity relies on whether the wife is plump or not!"
An Nuannuan gave her own verdict.
Xu Musen was taken aback, but then he too couldn't help laughing along with An Nuannuan.
"Alright, I'll go start preparing dinner."
Although their new home only housed the two of them, it never felt cold or empty.

Just the floor cleaning robot quietly flashing its red light in the corner before heading off to recharge itself.
Yao Ming Rong had already arrived at the complex and was picking out some items in the store.
She was clutching her new phone – her third resurrection in the digital world – and let out a cold laugh, "As if I'd stoop to your level... What a scumbag!"
Right now, the glint in Yao Ming Rong's eyes was almost as red as that of the robotic vacuum.
After picking up some fruit among other things, she approached the checkout where the friendly owner recognized her, "Eh, weren't you here a few days ago? Where's your boyfriend?"
Yao Ming Rong was in a foul mood. After dropping that bombshell and paying, she left with her purchases.
The shop owner was baffled, watching the irate departure of the young beauty and then chuckled.
Youthful spats are always so cute. The angrier they are, the deeper the affection, really. True breakups and divorces are quiet departures – not full of yelling and shouting. This sort of fury usually settles in a few days, then they're back to walking hand in hand.
Standing at the door to the flat, Yao Ming Rong took a deep breath before finally knocking.
The door opened, and the person behind it was An Nuannuan.
At the moment, she too was wearing a cute apron, seemingly in the middle of baking, her pale cheeks speckled with white powder.
for a moment, their eyes met – rivals filled with mutual hostility.
Yet An Nuannuan smiled sweetly, "You're here, welcome to my house."
Yao Ming Rong then managed to rein in her emotions, offering a graceful smile, "Sorry to impose."
