"What is this supposed to mean?"
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the open door, his heart pounding fiercely.
Shen Xinhe was truly too captivating, just like a queen.
Among all the women he had encountered, she had her own unique appeal, and as Zhang Xiaoshan’s outstanding work, to taste her would definitely not disappoint.
And this was a promise Shen Xinhe had personally made to Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan had exerted so much effort to rescue her from Wei Bao’s clutches and even used extremely precious medicine to treat her; wasn’t it justified to expect some form of repayment?
Yet, glancing back at the room where his sister-in-law’s light was still on, Zhang Xiaoshan could only suppress the thoughts in his mind.
Although he was certain that if he really went to find Shen Xinhe to sleep with, his sister-in-law wouldn’t say anything, she would certainly be heartbroken.
And besides, why had he rescued Shen Xinhe in the first place?
It was true he had thought about taking advantage of Shen Xinhe, but most importantly, he saw her pitiable state and wanted to lend her a hand.
If he were to possess Shen Xinhe now, wouldn’t that be too purpose-driven?
"Forget it, just endure it."
After wrestling with himself for a while, Zhang Xiaoshan still returned to his own room.
But as he lay in bed, tossing and turning, he couldn’t fall asleep.
Even though it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival, his body felt unbearably hot.
He wanted to sleep soundly, but every time he closed his eyes, all he could picture was Shen Xinhe’s enchanting form in the kitchen.
Her skin was so smooth, her figure so tempting.
"Maybe I should go to Shen Xinhe?"
If he didn’t take care of it now, he would surely suffer to death.
With that thought, Zhang Xiaoshan got out of his room.
Standing in the courtyard, he looked at Shen Xinhe’s room, the door still wide open, with darkness enveloping its interior.
He stood at the doorway and peeked inside.
As expected, Shen Xinhe had shed all of her clothes, lying flat on the bed, with only a small covering over her stomach to ward off the chill, leaving the rest exposed.
Perhaps because she had been waiting for Zhang Xiaoshan for too long, she had fallen asleep.
Zhang Xiaoshan ogled her enticing body unabashedly, his eyes nearly popping out.
But what if he got discovered by his sister-in-law?
He tiptoed to the doorway of his sister-in-law Yu Xiuxiu’s room.
The light inside had already been turned off.
From within came Yu Xiuxiu’s even breathing.
"Sister-in-law." Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
Zhang Xiaoshan gently pushed the door, calling out softly.
To his surprise, Yu Xiuxiu hadn’t locked the door; a light push and it opened.
The sister-in-law was still sleeping soundly.
Yu Xiuxiu disliked sleeping in clothes, finding it uncomfortable...
Zhang Xiaoshan swallowed hard.
Summoning the courage, as if possessed by a ghost, he started walking towards Yu Xiuxiu.
Yu Xiuxiu must have been having some dream, her brows tightly furrowed, seemingly quite enjoying whatever it was.
Suddenly, Yu Xiuxiu called out in her sleep.
Zhang Xiaoshan jolted in shock.
But then there was silence once more.
"Could it be that I’m the one in her dream?"
A smile of delight appeared on Zhang Xiaoshan’s lips.
"She must be thinking of me."
Zhang Xiaoshan couldn’t help thinking of what Shen Xinhe had said.
Perhaps Yu Xiuxiu had just been putting on an act by sending him away before.
Women are reserved, and with the sister-in-law being older than him and taking care of him for so many years, a sudden change in their relationship would surely leave her feeling lost and nervous.
But he was a man; such matters should be initiated by him.
If only he could pierce through that thin veil once and for all, then Yu Xiuxiu wouldn’t have to hold back, right?
He boldly placed his hand on Yu Xiuxiu’s jade leg and slowly, tentatively started to move upwards.
