Lin Rou doesn’t feel comfortable with where the topic was heading. She took the initiative to help Li Yuhuan out of the situation, “Godmother, Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-In-Law are still young. If anything, you should rush Second Brother and Third Brother. They don’t even have girlfriends yet.”

Yun Zhi opened her mouth to reply, but Lei Hanping hurriedly jumped in before she could, “Yuhuan and I don’t have any plans to have children in the next two years. Even if we do, we’ll have to wait until I’m stable in the army,” He said, shifting most of the excuse to him, which held some truth. Due to the special nature of his job, he was not suitable for having children at the moment.

Although Yun Zhi wanted to have grandkids, she was an understanding mother and could see Lei Hanping’s point. After all, she knew firsthand how taxing his job could be. Her son had to go on missions now and then, and most of the time, these missions could be dangerous too. She sighed, “I’m not a stubborn old woman, you two can discuss it among yourselves. You can have children anytime you feel ready, just let nature take its course,”

Li Yuhuan was silent throughout the entire meal.

…

After dinner, Li Yuhuan returned to their small building first.

She was relaxing on the living room sofa when Liu Xi decided to give her a video call. They talked for a little while before she spot Lei Hanping finally returned. She gave him a look, signaling him that she wanted to put on a show in front of her mother.

Lei Hanping was very cooperative throughout the entire conversation. Or to be more precise, he was acting like his usual self.

Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law were getting along so harmoniously, Liu Xi was relieved.

After the video call ended, the smile on Li Yuhuan’s face immediately dropped from her face. She stood up from the sofa and walked upstairs. When Lei Hanping followed a couple of minutes later, he walked in on Li Yuhuan taking off her clothes. The bruises on her body were a stark contrast against her white skin. , especially the wounds on her knee, some that were still bleeding. He strode to the bedside table, took out the first aid kit, and found the hemostasis spray.

Li Yuhuan sat on the bed and watched Lei Hanping carefully apply the medicine to her wound. The anger that she had been suppressing for the entire day seemed to have disappeared in an instant, “I’m not in a good mood today, so I didn’t cooperate with your act with your family. I’ll adjust my mood quickly and play the role of your wife from tomorrow onwards. I won’t let your family suspect anything,”

“No need to act,” Lei Hanping put the ointment back into the first aid box before he faced her, “I’ve said it before, just be yourself. You don’t have to act or force yourself. And last night… I’m sorry, there won’t be a next time. From now on, I’ll stay at Pei Rongyu’s place when I’m drunk. I won’t come home and hurt you again…”

Realizing and feeling a little satisfied that they were on the same page, Li Yuhuan pulled up the blanket to cover her exposed body and picked up her laptop, her eyes avoiding his gaze, “Fourth Brother can come back, but… But don’t do it for too long. If you do, I’ll be in pain, because you…you’re just too big,”

Lei Hanping knew her well enough. If she could say something like that, it meant that she was no longer mad at him. He sat down and took the computer from her lap. Then, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and held her in his arms.”You’ve never seen a big one before?” He asked, his eyes locked onto hers.

” …” Could she admit that she had only seen his?

Feeling the heat rising to her cheeks, Li Yuhuan turned her face away, pointedly showing her back to him, “Fourth Brother, I’m sleepy,” She said instead.

Lei Hanping felt guilty. He didn’t let her sleep or rest the whole night, so he didn’t ask any further. He laid on his side and pulled her into his arms, turning off the lamp, “Go to sleep,”

…

Days quickly flew by, and before they realized it, New Year was approaching.

Lei Hanping’s eldest brother, Lei Jingfan, and his sister-in-law, Zhao Lu, came back to the main family house with their son. And on New Year’s Eve, his second brother, Lei Xiao, and his third brother, Lei Chen, also came back one after another.

It was Li Yuhuan’s first time spending the New Year with the Lei family. She felt a little out of place in front of them. Every time they ate in the main building, she would silently watch Lin Rou chat with everyone. Every time her sister-in-law, Zhao Lu, had something to say, she would pull her into the conversation, which made her feel a little grateful.

During the New Year’s Eve dinner, Li Yuhuan received a video call from her mother. She walked into the courtyard and saw her mother’s red eyes on the screen. She couldn’t help but want to cry too. On the other side of the video call, the Li family was also having their New Year’s Eve dinner. Her brother even teased her that she was likewater being thrown out1. Then her father swiftly knocked some sense to her brother.

Watching the lively scene on her phone, and thinking about her situation with the Lei family, Li Yuhuan felt isolated for the very first time.

After the video call with her family ended, Li Yuhuan received a text message from Song Ran, “Have you finished your New Year’s Eve dinner? Did you ask your husband if he would want to come and play with us?”

‘If they bring Lei Hanping along, how could they play then?’

Fortunately, Lei Hanping has his own plans. He had an appointment with Pei Rongyu and his other friends. He had even told her that he might not be back tonight.

He was probably afraid that he would get drunk again.
