Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 245 Xu Lin is endlessly exploited by the mature and powerful woman Jing Ni
"Do not be nervous."

I don't like to force people to do things they don't want to do.

Seeing that Yingge's breathing was getting faster, Xu Lin comforted her.

……

After a stick of incense.

Xu Lin arrived at the Xu residence as he had hoped.

Although it was already night, the mansion was still brightly lit.

Yan Lingji jumped off the carriage, walked quickly to the gate, and pushed open the wooden door.

The mature and elegant Jingni was teaching Cherry to read in the courtyard.

Following the sound, Jingni saw Yan Lingji and Xu Lin, and her eyebrows lit up with joy. She took her daughter Yingtao's little hand and walked towards Xu Lin.

Although Cherry is only a little over a year old, Jingni rarely holds her anymore.

In Jingni's opinion, this mother has many spoiled daughters!
"My husband, you're finally back."

Jingni's eyes gradually reddened.

Upon learning of this, Li Ji and Li Wu immediately walked quickly toward Xu Lin.

"Daddy."

Cherry tiptoed and placed her little hand in Xu Lin's hand, speaking in a childish voice.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin's eyebrows shot up with joy, and he immediately hugged Cherry into his arms.

Have you been behaving well lately?

"Did you make your mother angry?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"No."

Cherry shook her head.

She is usually very well-behaved; she doesn't cry or make a fuss.

After chatting for a while, Xu Lin began to introduce Yingge to Jingni and the others.

"Mistress".

Yingge faced Frightened Salamander and bowed.

Jingni waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite and that calling her "sister" was fine.

Yingge nodded and bowed to Liji and Liwu respectively.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jingni had Liji take Yingge to the backyard, where there were still many empty rooms.

"Thank you, Madam."

"I live outside..."

Seeing this, Yingge spoke up.

Before she could finish speaking, Jingni interrupted her.

What are you doing living outside?

"There are plenty of empty rooms in the backyard!"

Jing Salamander said.

Upon hearing this, Yingge had no choice but to go to the backyard with Liji.

Jing Ni, Li Ji, Li Wu, and Yan Ling Ji are all Xu Lin's women.

She works under Xu Lin and lives in the Xu residence. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?
Which room would you like to stay in?

Upon entering the backyard, Li Ji, dressed in a pale yellow dress, asked...

She had a very good impression of Yingge because Yingge was not only polite but also had a dashing air about him, much like herself!
"elder sister."

"I'm just your subordinate, is it appropriate for me to live here?"

"I'm asking in a low voice," Yingge asked.

"Suitable."

Li Ji replied without hesitation.

Yingge has a graceful figure, no less than hers, and it's clear that Xu Lin has already taken a liking to Yingge!

Although Li Ji is not Xu Lin's legal wife, she knows Xu Lin very well!

"I'm fine with whichever room I stay in."

Upon hearing this, Yingge spoke up.

"Then stay next door to me."

Lizzie suggested.

The parrot nodded.

After a quick wash and a bite to eat, Parrot Ge drifted lightly to the rooftop and began its night watch.

Xianyang was the capital of Qin, and Xu Lin was an important minister of Qin. Generally, no one would raid Xu's residence at night, so Yingge's task was not very tiring.

Jing Ni was massaging Xu Lin's shoulders at that moment.

Because Cherry usually goes to bed early, Jingni handed Cherry over to Liwu.

Having not seen Xu Lin for so long, tonight was like a long-awaited rain after a drought; how could she let it end so easily?

"When do you plan to go to Zhangtai Palace and Ganquan Palace, my husband?"

Jingni asked as she washed Xu Lin's hair.

"Not urgent."

"Let's talk tomorrow."

"Tonight, I belong to my wife alone."

Xu Lin replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Jingni's eyes.

Then Xu Lin was turned 180 degrees.

“I can wipe it myself,” Xu Lin said.

Although he has traveled through so many years, he still has not gotten used to being served.

Jingni ignored him and let Xu Lin bury his face in her chest.

Xu Lin always washes his hair very quickly, and he finishes drying it in just a few breaths, so it's not clean at all.

Although Jingni and Xu Lin are about the same age, Jingni looks a lot like Xu Lin's mother at this moment.

"lady."

“I am not Cherry’s brother.”

"How could I not understand how to wipe my hair?"

Xu Lindao.

He's suffocating!
It smelled nice and was warm, but it was stuffy.

"It's entirely possible."

Jingni answered softly.

Then she went back to the bedroom with Xu Lin.

"Madam, don't you prefer to be passive?"

Seeing that Jingni had tied up her hair, Xu Lin asked.

Did I ever say I preferred being passive?

A look of confusion appeared in Jing Ni Qiu Shui's eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, she began the 'body search'.

At this moment, Jingni and Xu Lin are just like the government officials and thieves!
"Madam, you've changed."

After being caught in a vulnerable position, Xu Lin said.

"People change."

"I used to be a top-tier assassin in the Luo Wang organization, and now I am the wife of Deputy Leader Xu and the birth mother of Cherry."

Jingni explained.

After she finished speaking, she made Xu Lin lie down.

"Speaking of cherries, something suddenly came to mind."

"I came up with a name for Cherry a few days ago."

"Cherry is just a nickname."

"Her full name is Lan Zhi, what do you think, Madam?"

Xu Lin gently stroked Jing Ni's cheek and asked.

The name Lan Zhi was not chosen casually by him.

The word "orchid" comes from the poem "Zhenwei" in the Book of Songs, Zheng Feng. "Men and women are holding orchids" ("orchid" refers to the orchid). The orchid symbolizes the virtues and elegance of a gentleman.

The character 沚 (zhi) comes from the poem "蒹葭" in the Book of Songs, specifically the section "溯游从之，宛在水中沚" (going upstream to follow it, it seems to be on a small islet in the water). It refers to a small island in the water, echoing the aquatic environment of the salamander, and also carries the meaning of tranquility and serenity.

The two characters together form the image of orchids growing on water, which not only embodies the vitality of vegetation in the character "林" (lin) but also subtly corresponds to the aquatic background of the character "鲵" (ni).

After speaking, Xu Lin began to explain to Jing Ni why he had given Cherry the formal name 'Lan Zhi'.

"it is good!"

After listening, Jingni readily agreed.

After having Cherry, she developed the habit of letting Xu Lin make the decisions.

After saying that, Jingni launched a new round of attacks.

Under the bright moonlight, the white of the startled salamander shone.

……

Half an hour later.

Jing Ni and Xu Lin drew.

Just as Xu Lin was about to give up and get a good night's sleep, Jing Ni suddenly launched a new round of 'siege'.

This caught Xu Lin completely off guard!

"Madam, could you please wait a moment?"

Xu Lin frowned.

Upon hearing this, the passing parrot couldn't help but chuckle.

This was the first time she had ever heard Xu Lin beg for mercy!
Xu Lin actually begged for mercy?
The mistress is truly amazing!

"Wait a moment?"

"Husband, didn't you say that delay would lead to unforeseen changes?"

Jingni blinked her bright eyes and asked.

Before Xu Lin could reply, she placed her hand on his chest.

At this moment, Jing Ni has become a completely bad woman, a stark contrast to her usual self!
"Husband, why are you sweating so much?"

Jingni gently asked as she wiped Xu Lin's sweat.

Her voice was as gentle as her actions!
At this moment, Xu Lin was like Jing Ni's 'male concubine,' being constantly exploited!
……

at the same time.

Bored, Parrot sat down on the roof ridge.

Although it was almost midnight, many residences in Xianyang still had their lights on.

Recalling Xu Lin's earlier pleas for mercy, Yingge smiled wryly.

Then she pressed her fair right leg onto her left leg.

"What laughing?"

Li Ji leaped to Ying Ge's side and asked curiously.

She was carrying a plate of barbecue in her left hand and two pots of tea in her right.
