Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

Niu Dazhuang stepped onto the big black rock, stood on it, and looked at the scenery in front of him: "It's not bad. Look, there's a persimmon tree on that mountain over there. The bright red persimmons are really beautiful."

"Dazhuang, sit next to me and talk to me!" Bai Hongyan wasn't interested in looking at the scenery.

Niu Dazhuang also noticed that she was acting strangely today. She's always been a cheerful person, so what's wrong with her today?

Bai Hongyan ignored him, her eyes lifeless as she stared at the white grass in front of her. Regardless of whether Niu Dazhuang was listening, she began to mutter to herself: "Niu Dazhuang, what a rustic name. When you first came to my unit to handle the procedures, I noticed that you were different from others. Although you were polite on the surface, there was a bit of cunning and confidence in your eyes."

Subsequent interactions confirmed this; I hadn't been wrong. But as our interactions became more frequent and intense, it seemed as if your image began to linger in my mind.

The men in my workplace are all cowards—all talk and no action. They clearly like looking at me, but they're always sneaking around. I despise men like that the most.

He wanted to talk to me more, but when we chatted alone, his eyes darted around, as if he was afraid of what others would say.

Who would want a man who lacks responsibility? But you are so different. You look at me so openly and boldly, and when you come to my office, you're not hesitant or afraid of gossip! I'm slowly starting to fall for you…”

Niu Dazhuang grinned slyly: "Is this a confession?"

"I guess so. Today I want to put an end to our relationship. I fell for you, and even thought about how I could marry you. I knew it was impossible, but before I could even try, you gave me a rude awakening."

I can accept that you and Yu Li had a bit of an ambiguous relationship before, but I can't accept what happened between you and Sister Wan here that night.

"But things are good now. She won't have to feel guilty about stealing someone else's man anymore. Dazhuang, treat Wan-jie well." With that, Bai Hongyan got up to leave.

Niu Dazhuang wouldn't let her have her way, so he reached out and grabbed her: "Bai Hongyan, you're being too unfair. You feel better after saying that, but you can't just leave me like this."

"What do you want? I don't think I can do what Sister Wan did."

"How is Sister Wan?"

"Still playing dumb with me? The night you went hunting, you weren't here..." Bai Hongyan stopped mid-sentence, too embarrassed to finish.

Niu Dazhuang, so wicked, asked, "What's wrong with being here?"

After hesitating for a long time, Bai Hongyan finally blurted out, "You two were doing marital relations! Don't deny it, I heard it with my own ears. Since you and Sister Wan have consummated your marriage, I'll step aside, okay?"

"Why make things difficult for yourself? Isn't it better to follow your nature? You used to not care what others said! Why did you chicken out when it came to it?"

"How am I a coward? I just don't want to compete with Sister Wan for her man?"

With a slight pull, Niu Dazhuang drew her into his arms, pressed his head against her forehead, and said domineeringly, "If it weren't for your arrogance, would you have missed out on that person back then? Some people, once missed, are missed forever. Do you still want to miss out?"

Niu Dazhuang's words struck a chord with Bai Hongyan, touching the softest spot in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hongyan's eyes immediately welled up with tears, which involuntarily streamed down her face.

"I don't want this to happen either, but you have a lover at home, and now you're involved with Sister Wan. What am I supposed to do?"

"Su Wan is smarter than you in this respect. Don't overthink things. Cherish the people in front of you and live each day to the fullest."

My heart is big enough to hold both of you without any problem.

"You shameless bastard, you still want to..."

"Shh...don't speak, open your heart, follow your inner feelings..."

Niu Dazhuang held the person in his arms, feeling the coolness of the autumn wind and listening to the rustling of the wind blowing through the white grass...

Niu Dazhuang started by kissing his forehead...

How could Bai Hongyan, this little chick, resist the methods of Niu Dazhuang, this old eagle on the kang (heated brick bed)? In no time, she was completely subdued...

With a cry like that of a deer, Bai Hongyan bid farewell to her twenty-five years of girlhood...

Niu Dazhuang is experienced, gentle in his movements and speech, and only scratches the surface...

"You big bad guy, you still got your way." Bai Hongyan nestled in Niu Dazhuang's arms, gently complaining.

"Hehe, from the first time I saw you, I never intended to let you go. You are the woman I most want to get."

"Didn't you ever put any effort into treating Sister Wan?"

"As for Su Wan and me, well, it's just fate playing tricks on us. Every time I meet her, as you know, how could an ordinary worker like me dare to hope for the favor of the company's higher-ups?"

"I didn't believe it at first either. How could Sister Wan have taken a liking to you? Tell me! What a cruel twist of fate!"

"It was during the last heavy rain that we got stuck on the road..." Since they were all on the same side, Niu Dazhuang had nothing to hide and told the whole story in great detail.

Bai Hongyan blushed deeply upon hearing this, and then she put her little hand...

I was passive just now, but when I took the initiative, I was startled.

"Just now... just now you were..."

"Don't be afraid, look, Su Wan is perfectly fine now."

"This...this is way too exaggerated! You're just trying to lie to me?"

"What did I lie to you about?"

"It hurts so much! You just said that you and Sister Wan spent several days and nights tormenting each other in the cave. Does Sister Wan have a masochistic fetish?"

"I'm not lying to you. Didn't you hear it the other day? You could tell Su Wan sounded a little unhappy?"

"Then why am I in so much pain?"

"Every woman is like this the first time; she'll get used to it and the bitterness will eventually turn into sweetness."

"Okay, I'll believe you for now. Dazhuang, what do you say about me having your baby?"

"One isn't enough! We must heed the nation's call and have a whole family!"

"Get lost! Do you think I'm a rabbit, giving birth to litters of babies?"

A woman who truly loves another will never refuse to have his child; in fact, she'll be very proactive. In her eyes, bearing a child for the man she loves is a concrete manifestation of their genuine love.

"By the way, don't tell Sister Ting about this, it'll make us both feel awkward!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Whatever you say, I'll do!"

The two had so much to talk about that they didn't return until the sun was about to set.

Once she got to the dormitory, Bai Hongyan went to bed, pulled the covers over herself, and fell asleep without eating dinner.

Yu Li brought the food back to her.

Su Wan sat down by her bedside and touched Bai Hongyan's forehead: "You were fine this afternoon, why are you lying down as soon as you got back?"

The cycle of karma is truly wondrous. Just a few days ago, Bai Hongyan said these words to Su Wan, but this time, only a few days later, their roles have reversed.

"Sister Wan, I already told you, I'm fine, I just feel weak all over, I'll be fine after a night's rest."

"Are you on your period?"

"no."
