CHAPTER 71: CHAPTER 069: SO YOU WERE WAITING HERE [100 VOTES+]

——————-

"Is there a big bathtub in the house that a person can soak in?" Zhang Shanni had just asked, and as she was about to go take a look, she found that the man had already come in through the side door, carrying a wooden tub almost as tall as half of his body. Such a large tub would require moving out the smaller one that was stored in the cubicle to make enough space.

"I had it custom-made along with the wooden tubs; can you come and see if it’s suitable?" Xie Jingchen’s eyes sparkled with a smile as he watched his little wife approach, his voice low and powerful, with a husky and very pleasant tone.

"It’s big enough!" It really is huge, big enough for two adults to sit down comfortably!

"Wife, step aside a little, I’ll pour the hot water in."

"Oh, that’s going to take so much effort! Don’t we have water pipes for sale here? Otherwise, we could make bamboo pipes ourselves." Not having water pipes really is inconvenient!

"Water pipes? Those are difficult to come by. But bamboo pipes, we could go up the mountain and cut some to try."

"Great, I’ll go up the mountain and cut some tomorrow!" Now that her man is here, he can do the work for her. When he’s not around, even wanting to take a bath will become difficult!

"Silly, there’s no need for you to do that, your man is still here." Xie Jingchen chuckled and gave her a glance, seeing her serious, he felt very pleased, wishing she would rely on him even more.

"..." Zhang Shanni’s face flushed and she paused, whether it was her or the original owner, they were both accustomed to doing things themselves. Suddenly realizing she had a man who took care of everything for her, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Wife, try the water and see if it’s hot enough?" After pouring two buckets of hot water and more than three buckets of cold water, the water level had risen to eighty percent full. He tried it and felt that the temperature was just about right.

Hearing that, Zhang Shanni’s hand also reached into the water, feeling it slightly hot. It would be just right for soaking after she finished bathing, so she said contentedly, "It’s perfect."

"Then take your time washing, I’ll step out." Xie Jingchen left most of the hot water in the tub and carried the extra buckets out one by one, entering the kitchen through the side door and then casually closed the side door.

Zhang Shanni’s spiritual power followed him, and only after he left the room did her heart finally relax! Seeing that he had gone far away, she pushed the side door shut and locked it, then returned to the cubicle feeling at ease.

Taking advantage of the solitude, she quickly removed the ugly black makeup from her face, applied a homemade facial mask, washed her body quickly, and after finishing, casually threw the mask into the trash bin in her Space, scooped some water from the tub to cleanse her face, and washed her hair...

After all the cleaning was done, she added a drop of Pure Crystal Core Liquid Water into the tub and stepped onto the footstool and into the tub, sitting on the wooden seat inside. She closed her eyes comfortably; if only she had a jug of clear wine, life would be even more delightful...

The warm water relaxed her body, and the cozy warmth began to make her drowsy. Unwittingly, she leaned on the edge of the tub and started to doze off.

"Ch - Hick"

"Who?"

The sound of the wooden door being pushed open suddenly rang out, startling Zhang Shanni, who immediately opened her eyes wide. Her spiritual power saw the big man entering in the dark, and she was speechless with frustration!

Wasn’t the door locked by her?! How did this man open it?

"Wife, it’s me." Xie Jingchen casually put the little piece of wire back in his pocket and naturally walked into the adjoining washroom, just in time to see Zhang Shanni, with her fair skin, shrinking fearfully in the tub.

Fair skin!

Xie Jingchen’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, this morning he mentioned how someone could maintain a skin of contrasting black and white, and here she was waiting for him!

"You, you get out!" Zhang Shan Ni weakly called out from the tub. She looked at the man’s eyes and inwardly cursed; she was without her disguise now!

"Wife, isn’t there something you ought to explain to me?" At first, Xie Jingchen thought that busting in like this would mean he’d have to appease her afterward, but now, of course, he had no reservations and stripped himself clean within three seconds.

And before his little wife could protest, he warned her with squinted, naughty eyes, "Quiet down, Xiao San is back~~"

Zhang Shan Ni really wanted to roll her eyes. If it wasn’t for her spiritual power alerting her to his presence, which also made her aware of Xiao San doing homework next door, would she whisper so softly, be caught by him and so easily restricted? Pfft!

Damn it, she was wondering why the size of the tub was made so big, so he was waiting here all along!

"You, mmm!" Watching Xie Jingchen hop into the tub without hesitation, making the water rise to her neck, Zhang Shan Ni inwardly groaned while desperately struggling to free herself from his strong grip—

Pulling her into his embrace, Xie Jingchen quickly leaned down to kiss her fiercely.

Ever since he saw this tub, he’d been filled with such thoughts, who knew his little wife would give him such an ’unexpected’ surprise!

Zhang Shan Ni’s facial features were not bad to begin with. Just by looking the faces of her eldest and second sisters, you could tell her looks couldn’t be worse. Indeed, the original Zhang got into trouble because of her beauty, resented by her second sister, who then tricked her into tanning herself dark, which spared her a lot of disasters!

Right now, in Xie Jingchen’s eyes, Zhang Shan Ni’s face was still a bit dark, but it was just a bit deeper than the average yellow skin, not considered dark by the standards of a farming village. If she stayed indoors and took good care, she wouldn’t be any lesser than the city girls!

This made him feel a sense of urgency. He had thought that since his little wife was still young, it would be fine to wait a year or two before getting pregnant. But now, he figured he had to work really hard to get his little wife pregnant in the next few days so they could truly solidify their mistakenly assumed marriage.

"Mmm! Bastard!" Zhang Shan Ni was not as strong as he was, her struggles were futile, and it only made the man hold her tighter. Fuming with anger, she went on the offensive, imitating him, responding to his actions with her rough small hands—

Who’s afraid of whom, after all, they were husband and wife, and he was her man!

Since it came to this, might as well make the man happy and then perhaps he could forget about her deceptive little disguise!

When his large hands embraced her, she too imitated his actions, pressing hard on his muscular chest with her small hands. The palm felt the firmness of his chest muscles; she had wanted to touch him when she saw him shirtless chopping wood in the afternoon, so this was what it felt like...

"Wife, a little gentler." Did his little wife want to rub him sore? He wasn’t a rock...

"Woo, you’re one to talk, I’m in pain too! If one is in pain, let’s all be in pain together!" Zhang Shan Ni was only eighteen years old, still in her developmental stage, especially since she took over the original body, she’s been nourishing it with meat and Crystal Core Spirit Liquid these past few days, making her body incredibly sensitive now!

Damn it, without showing her claws, he really thought she was a sick cat!

Hearing her husband’s gasping voice, Zhang Shan Ni finally felt a bit better. Even the anxiety from being caught with her abnormality gradually eased.

Now that things had come to this, she could only use these events to gauge her new husband’s level of protection towards her!

Zhang Shan Ni bit down on his collarbone, finally feeling the helpless sensation of being ’forced to win’—

Ying wu wu, damn!
