You're my wife, don't doubt it!

"But could you put the knife down first?" Shen Tianyun said.

"Oh, sigh." Xiao Yao said, casually putting down the knife, throwing off the blanket, and climbing into bed.

Then Shen Tianyun pushed him down.

"Could you please not just get into my bed without warning?" Shen Tianyun said. "Can't we just sit there and talk?"

“Okay, okay,” Xiao Yao said, “I’ve fished your stepmother out.”

"That's great news!" Shen Tianyun exclaimed happily, "Where's the stepmother?"

“We’re at the hotel,” Xiao Yao said. “Neither of us will be going home for a while, and we won’t be able to see you. I came back specifically to tell you about this.”

"Oh, what's wrong now?" Shen Tianyun's expression and voice revealed her great disappointment.

Xiao Yao gave Shen Tianyun a detailed account of the adventures in the "skyscraper," leaving the young girl completely bewildered. Then, Xiao Yao told Shen Tianyun that they could no longer live in this house and had to escape Shen Hongsheng's pursuit, hiding outside for a while.

“So it’s not convenient for us to meet,” Xiao Yao told Shen Tianyun. “This is the only thing I can’t let go of. Thinking about it makes me feel very melancholy.”

“Actually,” Shen Tianyun lowered her head and thought for a moment, “there’s something I don’t know whether I should say or not.”

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point," Xiao Yao said.

“I’ve spent more time with Grandpa than you have, right?” Shen Tianyun said.

It took Xiao Yao a second and a half to realize who "Grandpa" was: "Ah."

“I know him better than you do, right?” Shen Tianyun said.

"Probably," Xiao Yao said in the Shanghai dialect.

“Grandpa isn’t such an unreasonable or illogical person,” Shen Tianyun stated, offering her argument.

"Probably." Xiao Yao repeated the sentence.

“If you want to hide, then hide for a couple of days,” Shen Tianyun said. “I’ll come to your place to check on you from time to time. If Grandpa or his people come looking for me, I’ll talk to him and lay my cards on the table.”

“You need to be sure,” Xiao Yao said suspiciously. “I seriously doubt whether this is a good idea.”

Although she felt a slight urge to confront him in the "King's" palace, the shadow and the main body were not directly connected, and the main body might not know what the shadow knew...

"Oh, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, I know what I'm doing." Shen Tianyun waved her hand impatiently.

"Don't act rashly," Xiao Yao warned Shen Tianyun. "At least wait until your stepmother and I discuss it and reach a consensus."

“Of course we need to discuss it with the stepmother,” Shen Tianyun said, “but the opinions of our old mother are also very important.”

“Alright,” Xiao Yao said, “Let’s discuss it separately first.”

Shen Tianyun: "Mm."

Xiao Yao left his old phone with a newly purchased SIM card with Shen Tianyun so that she could contact him from the room in 04.

The boy packed up his valuables, including his bank card, change of clothes, ID card, gold and silver jewelry that Shen Jie would give him in the future, and a bunch of miscellaneous books and odds and ends. He put them in a large, opaque black plastic bag, hugged his daughter, and said goodbye for a long time before finally leaving.

When he went outside, he found that it had started pouring rain. With a temperature of 35.2 degrees Celsius and strong winds and thunder, Xiao Yao felt as if the whole world was being covered by boiling water.

Of course, it was impossible to hail a taxi. Xiao Yao was worried that Shen Jie would be getting impatient, so he wanted to call her, but then he remembered that he had already given his cell phone to Tian Yun, and the small shop at the entrance of the alley that provided public telephone service had not yet opened for business. He was in a situation where he could only cry out to heaven and earth in vain.

By the time we got back to the hotel in the western suburbs, it was already dawn, probably past six o'clock.

Xiao Yao got out of the taxi, soaked to the bone, and struggled forward through the rain curtain that was being blown about by the wind, carrying two large black garbage bags.

After swiping his card to enter the hotel suite, Xiao Yao could only hear the sounds of wind, rain, and thunder outside the window, but not the familiar snoring. His heart tightened, and he ran into the bedroom. There he saw that petite body lying quietly on the right side of the big bed. He breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take a shower and change his clothes first.

“Dog,” Shen Jie said, as expected, she wasn’t asleep. “Come here quickly.”

"I'll take a shower and change my clothes first," Xiao Yao said. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"She was asleep, then woke up again," Shen Jie said. "Come here quickly."

Helpless, Xiao Yao stripped off his wet clothes, shoes, and socks in the darkness, leaving them on the carpet, and jumped onto the bed wearing only his underwear.

As soon as I lifted the covers and crawled in, Shen Jie started making soft, whirring noises and wrapped herself around me like an octopus, clinging tightly to me.

Ah, I can't breathe...

"You're all wet and smell bad, like mold," Shen Jie complained.

"I got caught in the rain, and everyone told me to go take a shower first," Xiao Yao said.

After he finished speaking, his mouth was covered with a gag.

The boy became restless.

But he thought of Yu Luying.

She shouldn't be awake yet at this hour.

Yu Luying slept in the same double bed as Yu Lihua.

Xiao Yao felt that he should, and had an obligation to, remind Shen Jie of this.

But that would spoil her mood.

At this juncture, in this atmosphere, should I give in to her or remind her?

Regarding the fact that two copies of Chapter 258 were issued.

It's really annoying. My first post got approved, and based on past experience, I knew it wouldn't pass. So I deleted three sentences and reposted it, and then it passed.

Then my worst fear came true—it passed the final review again.

VIP chapters can't be deleted yet; I'll have to go to the editor tomorrow to delete one.

Please do not subscribe to both chapters...

PS: One chapter has been deleted. If you have subscribed to both chapters, you can check to get a refund... otherwise, contact customer service to apply for one.

I'm sorry to have troubled you.

Chapter 260 Xiao Yao is not being honest

2023-07-10

*This chapter is also known as "Three O'Clock in the Afternoon: A Spring Night".

Xiao Yao was having a tense internal struggle when Shen Jie suddenly pushed him away, curled up her small body, buried herself in Xiao Yao's arms, and mumbled, "Sleep!"

"Huh?" Xiao Yao said.

He was suddenly unsure whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or feel disappointed.

Why is that? You suddenly teased someone and then went to sleep.

As Xiao Yao was lost in thought, Shen Jie suddenly started yelling, "Why don't you hug me? I want you to hug me!"

"Okay, okay, hug me, hug me."

Xiao Yao carefully held Shen Jie in his arms, feeling her body pressed tightly against his chest. A warm breath emanated from her, and some of her exhaled breath brushed against Xiao Yao's face, making him feel comfortable and cozy.

The girl's hair gently brushed against Xiao Yao's cheek, lightly tickling his skin and giving him a pleasantly itchy sensation. He could feel her hair was soft and smooth, like delicate silk threads sliding down his eyelids.

Xiao Yao could clearly feel that Shen Jie had lost weight since returning home. Her bent body pressed against his chest, and her soft curves allowed him to feel every subtle change in her body—sometimes, he would touch some of her bones, which felt a little uncomfortable.

This was a feeling I'd never experienced before, because Shen Jie had always been the type who looked slim in clothes but had a muscular build when undressed. This feeling of being pricked—to be frank—was something I'd only ever experienced with Yu Luying before.

As a result, Xiao Yao felt a pang of heartache and resentment towards his father-in-law.

What happened? She lost so much weight after just one trip home...

We need to feed her back.

Xiao Yao's palm pressed against Shen Jie's, feeling the material of her pajamas. He could feel the delicate fabric gliding through his fingertips, against her soft skin. His palm gently touched her, tenderly and meticulously experiencing her.

"Hand." In the darkness, the girl opened her eyes again: "Sleep!"

"Okay, okay, go to sleep."

At this moment, Xiao Yao felt the intimacy between him and Shen Jie. His embrace was a solid harbor, making her feel safe and peaceful. Their bodies were tightly intertwined, as if their hearts were closely connected, conveying warmth and affection to each other. In this instant, Xiao Yao was filled with happiness and contentment, and he was willing to protect Shen Jie with his embrace until she woke up.

The exhaustion from a day and a night of hard work, coupled with the skyscraper adventure, finally overwhelmed Xiao Yao. It felt as if a large stone was sinking into his stomach, and his breathing became increasingly heavy. In the end, his consciousness, along with the stone in his stomach, sank into the boundless sea of ​​chaos...

……

……

……

No one knows how long they slept in the darkness.

When I woke up, I felt extremely thirsty.

Moreover, the room was still completely dark.

Xiao Yao felt he had slept for a long time. It was unlikely that it was still dark, but it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he had slept until the next night.

The bed he was on was empty and desolate. The girl in his arms was gone. The boy fumbled for his phone on the bed, trying to check the time, but he couldn't find it.

Ah, right, I had two phones. I returned one to my wife who bought it, and gave the other to my daughter. I don't have a phone myself right now.

So, where did the little girl run off to again? Xiao Yao was a little nervous.
