Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

chapter 15

Liu Sisi finally came to her senses after the accident. At the moment, she was soaking in the wooden barrel placed in the bedroom, nervously scrubbing her body.

Suddenly, she remembered the special touch she felt when the other’s large hand brushed against her back…

Ah! Liu Sisi, you dirty girl!

Liu Sisi covered her flushed cheeks with her hands in embarrassment. It was just too humiliating that she actually remembered that scene. Could it be that she was really unsatisfied with desire?

How embarrassing!

She eventually finished her bath after much dawdling, quickly put on her clothes, and went back to bed, covering herself tightly with the quilt. She curled up in the corner of the bed and pretended to sleep, eyes shut.

I can’t see anything! I can’t see!

While Liu Sisi was bathing, Di Yelei had already taken care of the stink snake. He swiftly cleaned up the room, poured out the water from the wooden barrel, swept the floor, and then went into the kitchen to drain the bamboo shoots and leave them to dry. He then went to the room of the two children, and after checking on the sleeping children, he returned to his room.

Listening to her heavy breathing and looking at Liu Sisi pretending to be asleep, he couldn’t help but chuckle. He removed his clothes and went to bed.

Liu Sisi’s body was tense, fearing that he would touch her again. To her surprise, Di Yelei did not cuddle with her to sleep like he did last night; instead, he lay down on the outer side, fully clothed, and fell asleep quickly.

Without any further moves, Liu Sisi’s heart felt a mixture of relief and disappointment, especially as the strong masculine aura of the man kept going up her nose, challenging her sensitive nerves and making it difficult to control herself. With wide eyes in the darkness, she found it hard to fall asleep.

Am I really such a dirty girl? Liu Sisi felt annoyed!

“Don’t move around, do you want to sleep or not?”

Di Yelei didn’t want to talk, but he couldn’t help it. Liu Sisi was too unconscious and didn’t understand a man’s heart.

Men are visual creatures; the lingering feelings of that tender embrace and the blurring beauty of the scene in the hot water were still present in his mind.

At the moment, this soft and fragrant body lay within his reach. She was his legitimate wife, and yet, he had to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor and not do anything.

What’s worse, the little woman next to him seemed to intentionally tease him, constantly turning her soft body as though challenging his willpower.

“Ah? I… I’ll sleep right away.”

Liu Sisi hurriedly closed her eyes, her cheeks burning red. It was just too humiliating!

That night, Liu Sisi kept her body stiff and dared not move. She barely fell asleep at dawn.

As soon as she fell asleep, Di Yelei got up.

He carefully pulled open his arm that had automatically wrapped around her and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Looking at the dark circles beneath the sleeping woman’s eyes, not only had he not slept for several days, but it seemed she was not feeling well either. This couldn’t go on; even an iron body couldn’t withstand it.

He went out and properly washed, made breakfast, and hurriedly drank a large bowl of porridge before leaving the house. When he returned with a large bundle of bamboo, the sky was already bright.
