Chapter 156 - Grandmother will Teach You How to Coax a Man
The old house, once comprising only two or three rooms, now stood as a two-story building, a significant transformation from its previous state upon the arrival of guests.
The elderly couple resided on the ground floor, while Zhang Xiaolong, Chen Yaru, and others occupied the upper level.
Initially expecting to lodge alone due to Chen Yaru possibly sharing a room with Yang Jingjing, Zhang Xiaolong found himself pleasantly surprised by his wife's initiative, gladly accepting her company.
As the night settled, Zhang Xiaolong, slightly inebriated, quietly entered Chen Yaru's room, greeted by the alluring silhouette resting on the bed.
With gentle strokes, he tenderly explored her form.
Though seemingly asleep, she responded fervently to his touch.
Encountering her heightened passion, Zhang Xiaolong too felt a surge of excitement, swiftly dismantling any barriers between them.
Delicately tracing her skin, he treated it as if it were precious jade.
Recalling their first intimate encounter, Zhang Xiaolong's attentiveness remained unparalleled.
Sensing a subtle change in her skin's texture, he marveled at its newfound delicacy.
Though imperceptible to others, his keen senses detected the difference.
Noting Chen Yaru's slender waist and... enlarged breasts...
Zhang Xiaolong suddenly recoiled in shock, tumbling from the bed, oblivious to her proximity.
The door burst open, a voice fraught with concern echoing through the room. Geet latest novel chapters on novelbj/n(.)c/om
Liu Mei found herself torn between laughter and tears. She surmised her son and Chen Yaru had an understanding, but since they'd already decided on marriage, an early ceremony wasn't such a big deal.
What caught her off guard was her son's knack for enlisting his future wife's help in finding another woman, who willingly obliged.
“Darling, our family isn't one to dabble in affairs...” After a prolonged silence, Liu Mei finally spoke. She regarded Yang Jingjing with regret, “Honestly, when you lived here, I also envisioned you as my daughter-in-law. But when you left and didn't return, I let it go. I assume Xiaolong felt the same. Since matters have progressed to this point, let's not dwell on it further.”
“Auntie, I...” Yang Jingjing's head hung low, lost for words.
“Listening to you both, as a mother, I find myself quite pleased. If Xiaolong can have eight or nine lovely wives, won't I glow with pride?” Liu Mei teased, glancing at the embarrassed pair. Then, turning serious, she continued, “But think it through. Don't act on impulse. Even if Xiaolong agrees, it's just a title. How will you explain it to the family? Even if Yaru is fine with it, will the family accept Xiaolong being with other women?”
Chen Yaru was momentarily stunned. The future hadn't crossed her mind.
She and Yang Jingjing weren't foolish, but this situation seemed to paralyze their reasoning.
One could say that from the moment they saw Yeh Mei, they pondered. When Zhang Xiaolong faced the barrage of blind dates, they could no longer suppress their thoughts.
Hence, she confided in Yang Jingjing, believing her the best candidate. She didn't expect immediate agreement after hesitation.
At that moment, their minds swirled with visions of blissful days ahead. Marriage didn't factor in. They didn't ponder family approval or potential obstacles. Their focus was solely on their mutual happiness.
Contemplating this chaos, Chen Yaru reverted to the root question. Suddenly, she wept, “Will Xiaolong shun me again?”
Liu Mei tenderly brushed her hair, pained, “He was momentarily upset. What you thought of him was commendable. Even if he's angry, how could he harm you? Don't worry, I've resolved to be your mother-in-law. Fear not.”
“But...” Chen Yaru remained uncertain.
In other matters, she wouldn't waver. Yet, regarding Zhang Xiaolong's relationships, her judgment faltered.
“Silly girl, clueless about comforting a man? Let mother teach you!” Liu Mei chuckled, whispering advice into Chen Yaru's ear.
