If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

"Tsk tsk, what's so special about that? Aren't all men like that? It's just that other men with a sense of shame usually wait a year or two after their wives are gone before going out to find someone else, but this one found someone in just over three months."

"No, a normal search wouldn't be this fast. They probably started searching even before his wife died."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense without evidence."

"Hmph, I really look down on them, ptooey."

Lin Fengjiao, with a red veil covering her head, was carried on Shen Qingshu's back. Through the gap, he looked at the people standing by the roadside, their strange gazes falling on her.

She couldn't quite put her finger on the look in his eyes, but it was definitely unsettling.

My arms tightened instinctively.

Shen Qingshu felt the arm around his neck tighten and subconsciously said, "Wife, relax. Are you trying to strangle your man? Silly girl, what's wrong? Are you too nervous?"

Lin Fengjiao shook her head: "No, it's just that those people were looking at me so strangely."

"Yes, they're probably just curious. After all, it's rare for someone my age not to be married. They all suspect I have some kind of hidden illness. At first, they were very enthusiastic about introducing me to potential partners, but later they stopped paying attention to me."

"Now that they see I've actually married a beautiful wife, they're definitely envious and jealous. They'll probably talk bad about me to you later. You can't trust them, my dear wife."

"Over the past few years, I've turned down a lot of people for my wife's sake. Those people just wanted to take advantage of my position as a purchasing agent."

Lin Fengjiao didn't doubt his words at all, and accused him with a stern face: "Yes, yes, I remember. They really went too far. They can't stand to see others doing well."

"Qingshu, don't worry, I only trust you."

"That's good, my wife is really smart."

The restaurant was packed. After dropping off his bride, Shen Qingshu called for the banquet to begin and led his men directly to his father-in-law's table, saying respectfully, "Father, please have some tea."

"Don't worry, I will definitely live a good life with my wife and raise our two children well. I will not let you down."

The former father-in-law glanced at it expressionlessly, seemingly stung by the red color, and felt a sharp pain in his heart as he thought of his daughter who had died young.

He hummed in agreement: "Live a good life. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, tell me. I won't stand idly by, especially regarding the two children."

The two continued their back-and-forth conversation, while Lin Fengjiao listened from the side, completely bewildered. She didn't quite understand what they were talking about. Wasn't her father-in-law someone else? Why was she calling this person, who looked like a leader, "father"?

One table after another was toasted with drinks.

When it was over, Lin Fengjiao was so hungry that her stomach was growling. She hooked her arm around Shen Qingshu's, picked up her chopsticks and ate something to tide her over, then whispered in his ear.

"Qingshu, why did you call that person 'father'?"

Shen Qingshu used the excuse he had prepared beforehand: "It's like this, that man is a leader in the factory and also my benefactor. I owe my success to him, so I've recognized him as my godfather."

"I have to give him gifts during holidays and festivals, just like having another father figure in my life. Whether I can get to his position in the future depends on my godfather's promotion."

"Otherwise, think about it, I'm just an ordinary person with no status or background. How could I have such a good life in the factory?"

Lin Fengjiao met his honest gaze, nodded somewhat shyly, and said, "Oh, I see. I thought... what about the two children? He seems to care about them a lot."

Shen Qingshu nodded: "Yes, my godfather is good to my sister and me, but you know what happened to my sister, it was too tragic. My godfather just hopes that I can take good care of the two children."

"If I don't take care of the children, and leave them to my sister, her life will be completely ruined. She simply can't afford to support two children. My godfather is worried that my sister might do something drastic."

"I see. Don't worry, you can focus on your work from now on. I'll take care of the kids at home and won't let you get distracted."

"Yes, my wife is the most caring."

Lin Fengjiao's face flushed red instantly, and she said shyly, "Brother Qingshu, you're so mean! I want to eat that chicken leg, will you give it to me?"

Shen Qingshu indulged him, saying, "Alright."

After the wedding banquet, the twins were taken away by the old woman. Shen Qingshu took them directly back to the bridal chamber. As soon as the door closed, he couldn't suppress the burning passion in his eyes and pulled them against the wall, lowering his head to kiss them.

"Mmm, mmm~~"

Lin Fengjiao's eyes were glazed over from the kiss, and she felt incredibly shy. "Brother Qingshu is so good at kissing, it feels so good."

Shen Qingshu pressed her down onto the red sheets, his hands bracing on either side of her, his breathing heavy: "Wife, is this alright?"

He closed his eyes and whispered an "Mmm".

Everything spiraled out of control after that. The two of them struggled all afternoon, but Lin Fengjiao cried and begged for mercy to no avail. She eventually fainted and when she woke up, she felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.

The person next to her was fast asleep, and when the snoring came, she was a little dazed. She slowly sat up, and the aches and pains in every part of her body made her groan softly.

She carefully got out of bed and went to the bathroom, her mind uncontrollably replaying the scenes from the afternoon. She was the one who got it. Brother Qingshu was so gentle outside the bed, how come he was so... in bed?

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Lin Fengjiao felt a sudden pang of sadness and began to sob softly.

She came out after calming down, and just as she lay down on the bed to sleep for a while, the man behind her came back to her, forcing himself on her despite her refusal, as if he couldn't hear her cries.

Shen Qingshu pinched her chin, his eyes filled with obsession: "Wife, am I better than Jiang Lie? I'm asking you another question."

"Brother Qingshu, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"Are you drunk? Let me get you some water. Can you calm down a bit? Please don't continue. It really hurts."

Before Lin Fengjiao came, her mother told her that the first time would hurt, but she didn't say it would hurt this much. Couldn't she have let her rest for a while? What's wrong with Brother Qingshu?

Shen Qingshu grabbed the man and flipped him over, brazenly asking again and again, "Am I better than him? Ha, that useless thing of his hasn't touched you in three years."

"Why isn't my Gillian Chung saying anything? Is she not satisfied with me yet? Hmm!!"

By the time it was over, it was completely dark. Lin Fengjiao's fingers trembled slightly, and she couldn't get up at all. Her lips were a little chapped, and she was exhausted.

The door creaked open, and Shen Qingshu walked in. He met her eyes and saw the fear that flashed across them. He glanced at the bloodstains on the side and said guiltily, "Wife, I was wrong. I was a little drunk and confused."

"Don't be angry with me, okay? Here, let me feed you some water."

After she drank half a glass of water, he took out a box from his pocket, took out a gold earring from inside, and carefully put it on her: "Wife, I just missed you so much that I couldn't control myself."

"I will definitely be more careful in the future, please forgive me this time."
