Cheating on her husband's mistress? I seduced her third son.

Thank you everyone for the names you suggested for the kittens! They're all so lovely. It's a pity we can only use one, but that's okay! We can use the remaining names for the other kittens later on, hehe!

Suddenly, Shen Jibai thought of a name and tentatively asked, "How about Tangtang? Tang as in candy."

Su Yutang's eyes lit up, and she reached out to gently stroke the kitten's head.

Just then, the little guy let out a soft "meow".

"It seems it likes the name you chose, so let's call it Tangtang."

Shen Jinbai lowered his head, gently tapped the kitten's wet nose with his fingertip, and called out.

"Candy."

"Meow~"

Tangtang called out again.

Su Yutang really liked the name.

The two fed Tangtang cat food together and opened a cat treat. The little guy ate with purring sounds and his tail swayed gently with satisfaction.

Not long after.

The little guy has already gotten used to the new environment, and after eating and drinking his fill, he runs around the house.

Shen Jibai once again took on the role of chef, busily preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Su Yutang wasn't idle either; she helped out from the side.

As Shen Jibai was slicing fish, his gaze unconsciously drifted to her washing vegetables beside him. In a moment of distraction, the blade grazed his fingertips.

He was completely unaware, still quietly gazing at Su Yutang's profile.

After washing the vegetables, Su Yutang turned around and immediately saw the blood all over the cutting board, with bright red stains on the blade as well.

Her face changed: "Ji Bai! Your hand is bleeding!"

Shen Jibai then looked down and saw that the wound was not shallow and blood was seeping out. Strangely, he did not feel any pain.

Su Yutang quickly grabbed his hand and led it to the sink to rinse it, her tone both urgent and reproachful: "Are you stupid? You didn't even notice you were bleeding so much?"

Shen Jibai made an excuse: "I was just thinking about the argument with him and my mind wandered off. Sorry..."

Su Yutang looked up, her eyes filled with confusion: "Arguing? Weren't you two always getting along well? Why are you suddenly arguing?"

Shen Jibai was speechless for a moment.

He couldn't very well say that he got injured because he was so engrossed in looking at her.

It's even more unbelievable that his so-called other half was just a childhood friend he brought along as a front, so that he could legitimately stay by her side and not be denied even the right to get close to her.

Shen Jibai suddenly wanted to be selfish for once.

Even if it's just this once.

He raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Su Yutang's lips, and his voice lowered.

My partner... thinks my kissing skills are too bad.

He paused, met her questioning gaze, and asked cautiously, "Can...you help me?"

Su Yutang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"You're arguing over this? What a strange reason... Tell me... how do you want me to help you?"

Shen Jibai's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Could you... teach me how to kiss?"

He lowered his eyes and added in a low voice.

"Just like last time at the coffee shop."

Su Yutang was slightly taken aback.

She recalled that kiss from that day; it was indeed awkward at first, but later... his kissing skills were superb.

"Such amazing kissing skills and you still complain? What kind of god-like level of skill would it take to catch your partner's eye?!"

Su Yutang couldn't help but click her tongue twice.

"Is...is that okay?"

Shen Jibai's voice lowered even further, the last syllable trembling slightly, and he was too nervous to look up.

Su Yutang hesitated.

The thought of Shen Jibai kissing a man made her feel awkward.

But what can you do when he's her best friend?

And he's helped me so many times, always so considerate...

"Of course! I'll definitely help you with this!"

Shen Jibai's eyes lit up instantly.

"Th...thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for? With our relationship, saying thank you would be too formal."

Su Yutang took his hand, carefully disinfected it with iodine, and then picked out a cartoon band-aid and carefully wrapped it around the wound.

After treating her wound, she looked up at him.

"So when do we start?"

Shen Jibai looked at her bandaging his hand and felt a surge of emotion.

"Is it okay after dinner?"

Su Yutang readily nodded: "Of course, your hand is injured, I'll cook dinner."

Suddenly, in a dizzying moment, he picked her up and placed her on the sofa.

"Stay here and watch TV, don't move."

Shen Jibai's voice was domineering, but his eyes held a fatal tenderness. After speaking, he turned and went into the kitchen.

With Su Yutang's promise, Shen Jibai appeared extremely nervous and expectant in the kitchen.

That kiss in the coffee shop last time was too short; it simply wasn't enough.

This time...

He wanted it to last longer, much longer.

An hour later, the two finished their dinner.

Afraid of lingering bad breath, Shen Jibai quietly went into the bathroom, took out a new toothbrush, and brushed his mouth carefully twice, inside and out.

Only after confirming that he felt refreshed did he take a deep breath and return to Su Yutang's side.

Su Yutang was sitting on the sofa petting her cat when she glanced up at him and asked with a smile, "You didn't just go to the bathroom to brush your teeth, did you?"

Shen Jibai's ears burned slightly, and he admitted in a low voice, "I'm afraid... afraid it will affect the experience."

"Giggle~"

Su Yutang was amused by him, and immediately put down Tangtang and stood up.

"Okay, I'll go brush my teeth too. Wait for me a bit."

"Need not!"

Shen Jibai grabbed her wrist and gently pressed her back onto the sofa, urgently saying, "You don't need to go. Even if you ate garlic... you don't need to brush your teeth!"

Su Yutang patted his chest, moved.

"My best friend, that's so loyal."

As she spoke, she shifted her position, sitting down directly facing Shen Jibai, her eyes clear as she said, "Come on, let's begin."

The sky outside the window was already completely dark, and the city lights cast a hazy glow through the glass.

In the living room, a warm yellow light bathed the room, softly and ambiguously outlining the two figures.

The air conditioner was set to 26 degrees Celsius, neither too hot nor too cold, but Shen Jibai's back was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and his palms were gradually getting warm.

He took off his coat and casually draped it over the armrest of the sofa, leaving only a white printed crew neck T-shirt. The fabric clung to his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his heart was pounding so loudly it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.

He looked at Su Yutang's face so close to his, at her lips that were flushed red by the light, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

"Okay... let's begin!"

The two just stared at each other...

The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the increasingly clear sound of their breathing.

He watched the gentle curve of her lips, and his body leaned forward uncontrollably.

Su Yutang softened her breathing slightly and slowly approached him, following his movements.

...closer...

Their noses brushed together lightly, their warm breaths mingling, carrying a faint rose scent that made their fingertips tingle.

Shen Jibai's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to explode.

next second...

Their lips met completely.

Shen Jibai froze, then, as if a flame had been ignited, the long-lost touch instantly swept over all his senses.

This was his second kiss with Su Yutang, but he was even more nervous than the first time.

Tense, excited, ecstatic, and long-suppressed love all surged up at this moment, almost causing him to lose control.
