Chapter 97 New Neighbours?

Zhang Wei, who was desperately trying to cling onto his few remaining moments of sleep, was abruptly awoken by the sound of Yu Lei's lively footsteps. She seemed unusually happy, bounding towards him without a care in the world.

"Did something happen?" Zhang Wei mumbled groggily, his eyes heavy with sleep.

It must be noted that today, he was unable to have a proper sleep due to a series of events.

To his surprise, Yu Lei hopped onto his lap, nodding vigorously with an infectious enthusiasm. "Husband, I've found the perfect target for you!" she exclaimed, leaning in close to whisper into his ear, hoping their conversation would go unnoticed.

Zhang Wei's eyebrows furrowed with suspicion as he processed her words. ".... A princess? Are you absolutely certain?" he questioned, his skepticism evident in his tone.

Yu Lei's head bobbed up and down twice, her sparkling eyes brimming with confidence. "One hundred percent! All you have to do is capture her before she escapes. These princesses are in desperate need of a strong hand to dominate them!"

She looked at Zhang Wei with hopeful anticipation. "Do you need any assistance in luring her?" she asked, her voice filled with excitement.

Amusement danced across Zhang Wei's face.

Even though he didn't fully believe Yu Lei's claims, he couldn't resist the temptation to investigate their new neighbors.

"Do you think I'm so pathetic that I require your help to seduce a few women?" he responded, narrowing his gaze at her while his hands involuntarily gripped onto her soft buttocks.

Yu Lei panicked, desperately attempting to free herself from his grasp as she felt something pressing against her backside. "Zhang Wei, please let go! It still hurts," she pleaded, her words tumbling out in a rush.

A mischievous glint flickered in Zhang Wei's eyes as he teasingly questioned her. "Oh, so you're suddenly not interested in helping me anymore?"

"No, no, I dare not!" Yu Lei quickly shook her head, petrified at the thought of digging her own grave.

Finally taking pity on her pitiful expression and teary eyes, Zhang Wei decided to cease his playful torment.

However, he couldn't resist lightly grazing her breasts and squeezing her supple buttocks, continuing to tease her despite no longer being playful.

Finally, Yu Lei collapsed onto Zhang Wei's body, completely unable to bear any more. Her face was red and haggard, her breath ragged.

"Haaa..."

As Zhang Wei looked at her with mocking eyes, she couldn't help but let out a small spit of frustration.

"Bah~" she couldn't bring herself to meet his gaze any longer, curling up into a ball on his lap.

But then, a sudden thought crossed her mind, and she lifted her head, her eyes staring intently at him. "I think you should reward me!" she suggested, her determination taking on an unexpected intensity.

"Hm? Reward for what?" Zhang Wei stopped rubbing her breasts, his curiosity piqued.

"I made your lover so comfortable, don't I deserve a reward!" She protested, throwing her hands up in the air.

Zhang Wei's eyes glimmered with a profound light. "So you pretended earlier for that?" he asked, suspicion lacing his words. Yu Lei simply nodded, unapologetic.

Finally, Zhang Wei understood why she had initially acted tough with Rose, before ultimately laughing it off. It had all been a performance, meant to ease Rose's anxieties.

Of course, Yu Lei had conveniently left out some of the details, like how she had practically scared Rose to death when she left.

[Host.]

'What?' Zhang Wei's curiosity piqued as the system's voice echoed in his mind.

[It's nothing.] The system hesitated, deciding against exposing Yu Lei's good deeds at the last moment.

Zhang Wei felt a wave of confusion wash over him. It wasn't the first time the system had acted this way, leaving him puzzled. Over time, he had grown accustomed to the system's strange behavior.

Letting out a sigh, he shifted his gaze to the enthusiastic woman sitting on his lap. "What do you need?" he inquired, his tone laced with both amusement and anticipation.

Yu Lei, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, averted her gaze and began tracing circles on his chest with her finger.

"Hm?" Zhang Wei's interest was piqued. He bullied her until she finally spoke up.

"I-I need a child!" The words tumbled out of Yu Lei's mouth, leaving Zhang Wei dumbfounded.

As the weight of her words settled, Yu Lei's eyes grew slightly moist, a hint of fear glimmering within them. Although she had decided not to trouble him with this matter before, circumstances had changed for her. In this new environment, she sensed an impending crisis that needed to be avoided as soon as possible.

Zhang Wei stared at her, his mind filled with a mix of emotions. The room was enveloped in an uncomfortable silence, each passing moment fraught with uncertainty.

"Not just Rose, but you won't trouble any women near me, including Leng Mei?" Zhang Wei's voice broke the lingering silence, his tone carrying a mix of caution and concern.

"I won't!" Yu Lei responded emphatically, taking his hand in hers as a gesture of her sincerity.

Zhang Wei nodded, a sense of satisfaction washing over him. "In that case, I'll consider it," he replied, his voice measured.

"Really? MUA~" Yu Lei squealed with delight, unable to contain her excitement. She leaped into his arms, showering his face with playful kisses, leaving behind a series of red lipstick marks as a whimsical memento of her affection.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but chuckle at her exuberance, enjoying the momentary lightheartedness that enveloped them.

He simply nodded to her excited words, his expression calm and collected. Deep down, he knew that Yu Lei wouldn't let go of this matter easily, so he might as well entertain the idea of starting a child with her.

However, he understood that certain preparations were necessary before taking such a step.

"Then, can I stop taking the pills?" Yu Lei whispered, her voice tinged with hope and vulnerability.

"Yes," Zhang Wei's agreement brought a smile to Yu Lei's face, but it quickly faded as he continued speaking. "Although it won't make a difference. With my abilities, I made sure last night that you wouldn't end up getting pregnant."

"..."

Yu Lei's face fell, her world seemingly losing its vibrant hues in an instant.

The happiness that had bloomed within her was now tinged with a bittersweet realization.

"Let's go!" Yu Lei abruptly stepped down from his lap and grabbed his hand, attempting to drag him towards the bedroom once again. "We need to make a baby urgently!"

Zhang Wei's figure remained firmly planted on the couch, unperturbed by Yu Lei's eagerness. "Weren't you just in pain a few moments ago?" he questioned, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"It doesn't matter! I can endure it!" Yu Lei spat out defiantly, determined to seize this opportunity.

Hurt?

What nonsense was Zhang Wei spouting? If it meant missing out on this chance, enduring a week in a hospital bed was a small price to pay in Yu Lei's eyes.
