Chapter 83: Stormy Winds and Heavy Rain

“Sisi, why did you take so long?”

Behind her, Di Yelei was smiling at her with an honest expression.

But it frightened Liu Sisi so much that she almost jumped!

“Ah! You…why is there no sound when you walk? Do you want to scare me to death!”

Liu Sisi kept patting her chest, annoyed.

When did Di Yelei come back? Did he see what happened just now?

Although there was nothing between her and that person, she couldn’t help feeling guilty, and subconsciously glanced around. She also missed Di Yelei’s gaze at the moment.

Di Yelei’s eyes darkened, and the muscles on his face couldn’t help twitching a few times, a touch of disappointment flashed through his eyes.

But soon, he put away his abnormal expression and quickly relaxed.

“What’s wrong? Sisi, your face is very pale, is it because you didn’t rest well last night? You should go back to your room and sleep for a while.”

He looked at Liu Sisi’s pale face with a pained expression and led her into the room by the hand.

“Just after you left, Uncle Land Officer came and saw the chaos in the courtyard. He immediately scolded everyone and demanded Second Brother take out 8 taels of silver. Second Brother wanted to delay the time and said he had no silver, but the Land Officer showed strong determination and wanted to search the room. With no choice, Second Brother had to take out the silver…I was worried about you and came back to see you while sending the silver back to you as well.”

While talking, Di Yelei took out the silver and handed it to Liu Sisi.

He looked at Liu Sisi’s face carefully: “I deliberately informed the Land Officer and came back first. Now Mr. Land Officer is accompanying Dad, and with him here, they dare not make any trouble.”

After saying that, he took out the five and a half taels of silver that Liu Sisi had lent to him and the 3 taels and 312 copper coins, and handed them to Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi looked up and saw the face full of cautious and pleasing expression, her heart suddenly softened.

In fact, among all the trouble, Di Yelei was the most innocent and contributed the most.

Caught between his family members, he was in a difficult situation.

It must not feel good for him!

“Why did you think of giving it to me? You keep it.” She refused to accept it.

Listening to the 8 taels of silver that Ms. Wang had spat out, she was happier than anyone else.

“No way! As the saying goes, ‘Men are money rakes, women are money boxes,’ you are my wife, and you should be in charge of the money. Whatever you want to eat or wear, just spend it. When I really need money, I will come and get it from you.”

Di Yelei said, forcibly stuffing the money into her palm.

“So you think I’m a moving money vault for safekeeping?”

Liu Sisi thought for a moment and put away the money: “Fine! Keep it here, and when you need it, just let me know. By the way, how is father? Is he feeling better?”

The two had already entered the inner room as they talked.

“Yeah! The old man is able to speak a few words now. Sisi, I want to take a nap. I haven’t slept since yesterday, and I’m very tired now.”

Only then did Liu Sisi notice that Di Yelei’s eyes were bloodshot, and he looked exceptionally tired.

Indeed, since Di Yelei went hunting in the mountain the day before, he had gone to the market without sleep, and then something happened to his father last night. He carried his elderly father on his back, running all the way and staying up all night until now. Even an iron body couldn’t bear it.

Seeing such a tired Di Yelei, Liu Sisi felt very distressed too.

“What are you still doing here? Hurry up and get some rest. If your body gives out, do you think anyone will take care of you?” Saying that, he quickly pushed Di Yelei toward the room.

Before Liu Sisi could react, she was already being pulled by Di Yelei towards the bedroom.

“Ah! Let go of me! It’s not good if the children see us!”

Liu Sisi tried to struggle, but fearing the two children would hear, she didn’t dare to speak loudly and could only respond in a soft voice.

“Both Xuan’er and Ying’er have gone back to sleep. Don’t worry! No one will disturb us.”

Lowering his head, he wanted to kiss Liu Sisi’s incessantly chattering little mouth…

“Ye Lei, don’t!…”

Liu Sisi’s small hand blocked his chest and quietly called out.

“How can you be like this? Is your health more important or the other things? Don’t you know how I felt when I saw you collapse earlier and couldn’t get up? I was so scared, I…”

Her words were hoarse and trembling, and as she spoke, her eyes turned red.

“But, I miss you. Sisi—will you accompany me to sleep for a while? I’m genuinely tired. Just hold you and sleep for a while.”

As Di Yelei spoke, he pulled her quickly towards the inner room.

His kisses were unusually passionate, his rough stubble brushing against her mouth and cheeks, making her constantly raise her head and twist her neck, trying to escape the awkward situation.

With a flick of his foot, the door to the inner room closed and was locked.

In two strides, he threw her onto the bed.

“Don’t… Ye Lei, you just said… It’s the middle of the day, don’t…”

Liu Sisi cried out in surprise, instinctively wanting to flip over and flee.

However, before she could escape, his tall figure pressed down on her, trapping her unfinished words deep in her throat.

Liu Sisi kept retreating, he advanced step by step, continuously pressing his entire body weight onto her.

“It’s more exciting during the day, isn’t it, Sisi? I’ve missed you, you teasing little kitten…”

A muffled cry came from her mouth, making him lose control of his mind. His burning heart felt suffocated, as if it was enveloped in a fog.

Di Yelei was infatuated by her!

The small woman on the bamboo mat lay in front of him with disheveled clothes, her slender swan-like neck covered in strands of damp hair, so pure and beautiful, yet so enchanting.

She was like a combination of a demon and an angel, making him utterly bewitched.

He released her and started to struggle to remove his own clothes, wanting more.

She was already limp as mud.

Even though the man in front of her had already let her go, she was so exhausted that she couldn’t move. She could only lie there quietly, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Her deer-like eyes opened, still covered in a layer of bewildered fog, and stared at the man undressing in front of her, frozen in place.

The next moment, the man’s muscular and sturdy body pressed down upon her.
