A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

Jiang Linwan was instantly embarrassed. Although there was still an empty room in their courtyard, she couldn't very well sleep in a separate room from Qiyue in front of Xiuwan.

And there weren't any extra blankets or quilts.

She gently patted Jiang Xiuwan's head: "Why? Don't you miss your aunt?"

"I want to, but Xiuwan is all grown up now. We used to live in the cowshed, and I don't want to share a bed with anyone anymore." Jiang Xiuwan said like a little adult, "You have to sleep in separate beds when you're seven, and Xiuwan is eight."

"Okay, then how about letting your aunt and uncle sleep together tonight?" Lu Qiyue squatted down, his face showing no emotion whatsoever, still with that calm and composed demeanor. He couldn't be happier looking at the little girl.

Jiang Linwan wanted to say a few more words, but Lu Qiyue pulled her in front of him and lowered his voice: "Do you want Xiuwan to know that we are sleeping in separate rooms?"

"Once we get back, Grandpa and the others will know. If Grandpa finds out you married me for their sake..."

Lu Qiyue didn't even need to finish speaking before Jiang Linwan quickly shook her head, smiled, took Lu Qiyue's arm, and said goodbye to Jiang Xiuwan.

I quickly washed up and went back to my room.

Upon entering the room, Jiang Linwan looked somewhat uneasy upon seeing that there was only one set of bedding on the bed.

"Or I might as well just sleep on the floor," Lu Qiyue said, feigning a frown.

The floor was concrete, and no matter how much you cleaned it, it was always covered in a layer of dust. Jiang Linwan immediately shook her head and refused. She quickly got into bed, took a pillow, cut the thin blanket in half, and pointed outside: "We each have our own blanket, and no one is allowed to cross the line."

Lu Qiyue chuckled and agreed, "Okay."

The lights inside were turned off on time, and the moonlight filtered through the cracks in the wooden windows, casting a soft, dappled glow.

The two lay on the same bed, with a clear boundary between them, each wrapped in their own thin blanket, neither of them crossing the line even slightly.

As Lu Qiyue felt the warm breath around him, his whole body tensed up, his eyelids heavy but he was wide awake.

He stared intently at the roof beams above him, trying to keep his breathing shallow and steady, but his wildly beating heart betrayed his nervousness.

Jiang Linwan was exhausted from the day and fell asleep quickly. Listening to her steady breathing beside him, Lu Qiyue slowly turned to his side and looked at her sleeping profile.

She slept soundly, her long eyelashes drooping, her cheeks flushed with a soft blush, and her small mouth slightly pursed. She looked gentle and obedient at that moment.

Just as Lu Qiyue was about to close his eyes, the little girl suddenly turned over, her warm and soft arms suddenly reaching out to wrap around his waist tightly. She then pressed her whole body against his chest, gently resting her head on his shoulder.

Upon feeling that soft touch, Lu Qiyue's body stiffened abruptly, as if the blood in his body had rushed to his head.

His Adam's apple bobbed heavily, and his hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly.

Sensing the changes in his body, and afraid of waking the little girl, he could only suppress the possessive desire surging in his heart, not daring to move at all.

He remained in the same position until the next morning. Lu Qiyue carefully got up, rubbed his slightly numb arms, quickly dressed, and disappeared into the night.

Jiang Linwan yawned and opened her eyes around 8 a.m., thinking of the letter from yesterday. She quickly entered her spatial dimension and opened the envelope.

Upon reading the contents of the letter, Jiang Linwan gripped the envelope tightly with her fingertips, her whole body trembling as her fingertips pierced the paper.

So the reason why Lu Chengyu was so greedy in his previous life, demanding money from his grandfather and the others, was all because of Chen Hongying.

The letter stated that the Jiang family had a lot of wealth, and the old man had given Jiang Linwan a portion of it, while secretly keeping some for himself, saying that Jiang Linwan might know about it.

Let Lu Chengyu force Jiang Linwan to reveal the location of her assets. If she refuses to tell him, Lu Chengyu should use Jiang Linwan to threaten the old man, who will then surely reveal the remaining assets.

No wonder Lu Chengyu was suddenly so nice to her for a while and kept asking about the Jiang family. So that's what he was up to.

The Jiang family had no remaining assets. A large portion of them were donated, and a small portion was given to Jiang Linwan, who then spent all of that money on Lu Chengyu's family.

They were insatiable and wanted more. For the sake of the property they didn't have, they harmed her father, causing the death or maiming of her entire family.

"Just going to jail is too lenient on her!" Jiang Linwan gripped the envelope tightly, her eyes filled with hatred.

"Auntie, dinner's ready!" Jiang Xiuwan's soft voice rang out. Jiang Linwan quickly got out of bed, pushed open the door, and walked into the living room to see the food laid out on the table.

Her eyes immediately turned red. Before, when she was at home, although Chen Hongying favored boys over girls, her grandfather and parents kept her in check, so Jiang Xiuwan didn't have to cook at all.

She's only eight years old now, and probably not even as tall as the cutting board. How did she learn to cook in just a few months?

"Little aunt, try Xiuwan's cooking and see if it's delicious. When Grandpa and the others come back late from work, it's always Xiuwan and her younger sister who cook for them." Her eyes were full of pride.

"Auntie, have a taste." Jiang Linwan said with a smile, picking up a piece of stir-fried clam. Her eyes were full of surprise: "Delicious! Our Xiuwan is amazing."

Jiang Xiuwan's eyes crinkled with laughter upon hearing this.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Linwan turned on the TV and took out a bunch of snacks from her spatial storage and gave them to Jiang Xiuwan.

She had just gone to the kitchen to wash the dishes when there was a knock at the door. Jiang Linwan wiped her hands and ran to open the door.

Then they saw Shi Dagang carrying a basket. When he saw Jiang Linwan, Shi Dagang smiled broadly. He glanced at the neighbors walking by and deliberately said, "Thank you so much, sister, for yesterday."

"If it weren't for you, my niece would probably be in the hands of human traffickers. My dad told me to take my niece back home."

After Shi Dagang finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Your grandfather told your niece to go back quickly, because he was afraid that if she stayed too long, she would be seen by someone with ulterior motives, which would implicate Commander Lu."

Jiang Linwan wanted to keep her niece at home for a few more days.

But considering his family's status, he finally looked at Jiang Xiuwan with longing.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Xiuwan ran out as a child. When she saw it was Shi Dagang and her aunt's red eyes, she hugged Jiang Linwan and said, "Auntie, don't cry."

We'll meet again later. I'm going back with Uncle Shi now.

"Okay, I'll come see you when my aunt has time." Jiang Linwan forced back her tears and turned to Shi Dagang: "Brother Dagang, wait a moment."

After she finished speaking, she went back into the house and took out a large package containing several bottles of malted milk powder, some medicine for dispelling dampness and cold, a large piece of pork, and several kilograms of flour and rice.

"Keep half of it, and ask Brother Dagang to send the rest to my grandpa and the others when he has time."

Shi Dagang nodded, picked up Jiang Xiuwan, and went out the door.

Jiang Linwan watched Jiang Xiuwan leave with reluctance, and turned to go back when a voice called out to her.

"Dr. Jiang!"

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Linwan quickly wiped away her tears, turned around, and saw Commander Yang's wife, with a heavily pregnant woman standing beside her.

The two of them walked towards her together.
