No matter how the food chain in the Xiao Family changes, in the end, the bottom is always where the men rotate. Whoever it is, it doesn’t matter much.

When going back to sleep at night, Wen Ran instinctively reached for Hongguo.

Instead of grabbing the soft, fragrant little girl, she ended up touching a head that felt like a hedgehog.

Oh.

She was married now.

Hongguo had gone next door to sleep with that little girl Chenxing.

On her bed lay Xiao Chenye.

"Wife," Xiao Chenye’s eyes gleamed, "Are we going to sleep now?"

Wen Ran: "..."

After a brief moment of thought, Wen Ran decisively decided to sleep.

Her own man, officially licensed, why not sleep?

"Lights out!"

"Sure thing!"

How should I put it?

Usually, during playful moments, a light touch could only feel the shape of his waist and abdomen.

Now, without the barrier of clothing, Wen Ran felt warmth upon touch.

She could even feel the vibrant pulse of his blood.

The two of them ended up doing some things that would not pass review. In less than three minutes, they were staring at each other in disbelief.

Wen Ran was dumbfounded, "No way, you, you..."

Xiao Chenye was all flushed, like a well-cooked prawn.

"I-I can explain."

Wen Ran turned over and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, "Hahaha, it’s okay, I understand, men sometimes feel inadequate, right? Maybe you’re just tired today and not in the best shape?"

Wen Ran felt that she was such a considerate wife, one difficult to find even with a lantern.

She hoped Xiao Chenye didn’t fail to appreciate her thoughtfulness.

However, the experience was...

Darn, it was quite disappointing.

Heartbreaking.

Xiao Chenye: "!"

As a man, this dignity cannot be challenged.

He quickly tore the quilt off. Wen Ran was caught off guard and yelped, "What are you doing?"

"Of course, doing it!"

"No," Wen Ran’s eyes widened, looking at Xiao Chenye’s wolf-like gaze, "Stop....um..."

Night.

The moonlight was bright.

Suddenly, the wind picked up, bringing in a patch of dark cloud.

The dark cloud covered the moon, and a gentle rain started, hitting the tree outside with a tinkling sound.

Hetao’s cries of missing home echoed throughout the night.

The next day, Wen Ran still woke up on time.

As she moved, her body felt sore, like when she had run an 800-meter test in college, exerting every effort but still finishing last.

Damn it!

Wen Ran frustratedly punched her bed.

Xiao Chenye, that beast, why didn’t he just kill her outright?

Wasn’t it just that she showed some misplaced kindness yesterday?

Was it necessary to be so exhausting?

After drinking a sip of spring water, all her fatigue vanished.

She slowly got up, and as she jumped twice on the floor, she instantly felt as if nothing happened to her.

Xiao Chengguang was recuperating at home, looking like an old man sitting under the eaves soaking in the sun.

With half-closed eyes, his leisurely demeanor really made one want to go up and give him a punch.

Minmin could already walk, but her speech wasn’t quite clear yet.

Seeing Wen Ran come out, her eyes lit up, and like a small missile, she shot straight toward Wen Ran.

When she reached her, she didn’t know how to stop, and it looked like she was about to crash into Wen Ran’s legs and make herself cry.

Wen Ran sidestepped and caught Minmin by the collar, lifting her up.

"Mama!"

At this moment, Minmin’s words were clear. The tone made Xiao Chenyue helpless, and Wen Ran amused, "I’m Mama, so who’s this?"

Minmin stared blankly in the direction Wen Ran pointed.

"Mama!"

Oh, dear child, you have a keen eye.

"Uncle! Mama!"

She quickly refocused and called out to Wen Ran. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Xiao Chenyue came over helplessly to explain, "I’ve told her that’s Auntie, but she hasn’t learned yet."

Being so young, she could only speak single words or repeat them.

"Very smart," Wen Ran lifted the child up, "She’s grown a lot, and now she feels heavy."

"Hahaha, you don’t even see what she eats over there, and there’s Gula, you know his nature."

Mentioning this, Xiao Chenyue’s eyes were full of tender affection.

She was quite satisfied with her current life.

"Sister, you’re truly blessed."

"Yes, I am," Xiao Chenyue had nothing to hide, "Watching the child grow day by day, Gula and I also support each other through life."

The gentleness on her face could not be concealed, "I’m thinking that when Minmin is a bit older, I should have a child with Gula.

He looks like a father figure; I should give him a child."

"Mm," Wen Ran nodded, "But about your marriage, you still need to..."

"Yes, we do," Xiao Chenyue explained, "We’ve already had a wedding over there, and we’ve registered.

Coming home this time is to let the parents see and know that I’m happy now."

"What?"

This news truly brought an explosive feeling to Wen Ran, "You, without a word, just, just married?"

"Well what else," seeing Wen Ran’s reaction, Xiao Chenyue laughed, "I’m an adult with a child already.

Do I still need to report everything to my parents?"

Wen Ran: "..."

Hiss, you don’t say, that sounds quite reasonable.

"You’re right," Wen Ran nodded, "So, when’s the wedding?"

"Well, it’s not something grand, just pick a good day and go through the motions," Xiao Chenyue didn’t want to dwell on her own matters.

Instead, she slyly winked at Wen Ran, "Speaking of which, how was your night last night?"

How was it?

It almost wasn’t humanly possible.

She suffered, but she was innately stubborn.

Upon hearing, her eyebrows relaxed faintly, "Oh, just the usual."

Xiao Chenyue: "?"

Could it be, her brother was just a pretty face, useless in actual combat?

Besides, seeing Wen Ran’s light steps this morning, it didn’t seem like she had a rough night...

Emm, Xiao Chenyue felt like she’d discovered something extraordinary.

Hiss!

This won’t do.

The eldest is half-dead, whether alive or dead is unknown.

The third one doesn’t look like he can find a wife while alive.

The fourth...

Only the fifth is left.

If he’s also not up to par, then the sky has fallen.

Wen Ran didn’t know, her two casual sentences caused half the sky to fall for Xiao Chenyue.

She muddled through it; there wasn’t much change in everyday life, just that Mrs. Xiao was visibly more irritable.

Watching Xiao Chengguang lying there leisurely, her heart hurt, but then she thought again, this brat didn’t inform home when something happened, and she became agitated again.

Often, while working, she’d suddenly storm over to Xiao Chengguang and scold him fiercely.

Over time, Xiao Chengguang became listless.

Feeling disheartened, "Sometimes I truly wonder, how did I possibly offend Mom?"

Xiao Chenyue: "Well, maybe by breathing."

Xiao Chengguang: "?"

Should he stop breathing then?
