A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Sister Jin would never entrust her slightly tipsy daughter to a man she barely knows.

So even though Huang Yuejin was very helpful, she still followed him all the way, and only returned with Huang Yuejin by flashlight after sending her daughter back.

Zhuang Qingxiang also firmly rejected Shi Peiran's proposal.

She had finally managed to get her son back, how could she possibly leave him to be cared for by someone else?

Even though she was a little dizzy after a few drinks, she still wanted to sleep with her children in her arms.

Three children, not one can be missing!

The family of five had just returned home when Zhuang Qingxiang was already on the verge of collapse.

Lu Congyue suppressed a laugh, helped the person onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and went to give the three children a bath and wash. After tidying up the three children and carrying them onto the kang, the three children surrounded Zhuang Qingxiang, chattering away, with the two boys occasionally letting out excited screams.

Zhuang Qingxiang covered her head and groaned in pain.

The atmosphere at home was so oppressive after Xiao Chenglin went missing a while ago. Xiao Luyue was taking care of Xiao Donghua and we got used to everything being quiet. Now that things have suddenly returned to how they were before, it's really hard to bear.

"Am I sick?" she asked, covering her head. "I was so desperate for my child before, but now that he's back, I feel like I'm going crazy from all the noise."

Looking into her hazy eyes, Lu Congyue felt his heart pounding with excitement.

"Yueyue." He greeted Xiao Luyue with a smile, "Keep an eye on your little brother, go to sleep, and don't disturb Mommy. Mommy is exhausted these days and needs a good rest."

For two little kids, the older sister's influence can sometimes be greater than that of their parents.

As soon as Xiao Luyue spoke, the two little brats bent over and closed their eyes, behaving obediently like the mischievous monkeys from before.

Zhuang Qingxiang was drowsy, and the room fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of a few people breathing.

Lu Congyue tiptoed out of the house, packed his luggage neatly, and returned to the bedroom after he finished. The three children were all fast asleep.

Lu Congyue kissed each of them once, finally kissing Zhuang Qingxiang on the forehead.

Zhuang Qingxiang stirred.

Lu Congyue smiled slightly and picked the person up by the waist.

"Huh?" Zhuang Qingxiang was half asleep when she was suddenly awakened.

"It's hot, aren't you going to take a shower?" Lu Congyue said in a low voice.

Zhuang Qingxiang loves cleanliness. In this hot weather, she definitely can't sleep if she doesn't take a shower. He knows that very well.

Zhuang Qingxiang realized that Lu Congyue had returned, and immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and hummed in agreement.

The soft, sweet, nasal voice infuriated Lu Congyue, who said in a hoarse voice, "I haven't washed yet either, let's go together."

In the past, Zhuang Qingxiang would have scolded him for being shameless, but today, whether it was because they had been apart for too long or because of the alcohol, she not only didn't object, but even nestled in his arms and replied, "Okay..."

Lu Congyue paused, put her down, and pressed her lower back against his body.

"Or we can shower together later..."

Zhuang Qingxiang looked up at him, her eyes misty, appearing unusually obedient and docile, her body also incredibly supple, pressing tightly against him.

Lu Congyue's breathing became heavier.

I guessed she'd do this when I saw her drinking, and sure enough...

"Have you missed me these days?"

His hands rubbed against the thin summer clothes, the warmth of his palms burning even through the fabric.

Zhuang Qingxiang made a few ambiguous noises, leaned softly against him, and softly replied, "I miss you, I miss you so much."

Lu Congyue held his breath and, in his haste, took the person before even entering the west room.

Zhuang Qingxiang was held by him, clinging to him like a vine and making soft moans. Lu Congyue coaxed her to bite the clothes he hadn't had time to take off, covering her mouth with her moans.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Lu Congyue's first time was both urgent and fierce.

Afterwards, both of them were still wearing their clothes, but they were panting heavily. Zhuang Qingxiang's eyes were red with grievance as she protested softly that she had hurt her.

Lu Congyue quickly carried the person out, gently coaxing them all the way to the bathroom.

We agreed to take a shower together.

While taking a bath, Zhuang Qingxiang was much more awake, her face flushed red. She tried to kick him out, but Lu Congyue turned the tables on her.

"You just agreed to shower together, and now you're going back on your word?"

"So what if I change my mind?" Zhuang Qingxiang bit her lip. "It's not illegal. What are you going to do to me?"

Lu Congyue grabbed someone directly: "You can try."

Zhuang Qingxiang bit her lip and let out a muffled groan.

Lu Congyue then calmed down, biting her ear and saying, "I still prefer the you from before, obedient, doing whatever I ask..."

Hearing what was said next made Zhuang Qingxiang blush crimson from head to toe.

But he had her completely under his thumb, leaving her with no energy to get angry.

When Zhuang Qingxiang came out of the bathroom, she had no strength left and let Lu Congyue carry her into the west room.

She didn't resist.

After all this time, she knew he wasn't done tonight.

Sure enough, Lu Congyue seemed to be making up for all the time he had missed these past few days, tormenting her over and over again, coaxing her to please him, which then led to even more intense treatment.

By the time it was over, it was well past midnight.

Zhuang Qingxiang never expected that while she was holding the child to sleep, she would end up being held and slept by Lu Congyue.

Even when he was asleep, even when it was hot, he couldn't bear to let her go, and they slept together in this sticky embrace until the three children knocked on the door outside.

"Mommy, Daddy!!"

Xiao Luyue's clear voice, accompanied by the two little kids calling "Mommy, Mommy...", made Zhuang Qingxiang suddenly open her eyes with a start.

The man behind her let out a muffled groan and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.

Zhuang Qingxiang blushed and struggled, "The children are awake, it's time to get up."

"You've been working hard all night, rest a bit more." Lu Congyue muttered as he kissed her twice, then cleared his throat and called out, "Yueyue, take your little brothers to wash up first. Mom hasn't woken up yet, don't disturb her."

Xiao Luyue sighed, took one of her younger brothers by the hand, and walked into the yard, lecturing the two ignorant little brats like a little adult.

"Mom gets drunk and can't wake up when she drinks. Mom is so silly. Dad doesn't do that."

"You two be good and listen to your sister. Don't disturb Mommy, or Daddy will be angry if Mommy is woken up."

Listening to the child's murmurs, Zhuang Qingxiang covered her face, feeling too ashamed to face anyone.

Lu Congyue, however, took the opportunity to lift the person up and hold them down, chuckling lightly, "Yueyue is sensible, which saves us a lot of trouble."

This time, Lu Congyue didn't dare to make a fuss for too long, fearing that the children would come knocking on the door again and it would be difficult to appease them.

The whole thing was so fast and intense that Zhuang Qingxiang was so exhausted that her arms gave way, and she collapsed weakly onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Lu Congyue quickly helped her get ready and dressed, and teased her that her physical strength had declined again and that she lacked exercise.

When the two of them went out, Zhuang Qingxiang's cheeks were flushed, and when the sunlight shone on them, she looked like a rosy and beautiful flower.

Little Lu Yue blinked: "Mommy looks so pretty today."

"Isn't Mom usually pretty?" Lu Congyue asked deliberately.

Little Lu Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Mom is usually pretty, but she's even prettier today."

Lu Congyue nodded proudly: "That's because Dad came back."
