Yang Ruxin scoffed and then withdrew her hand to continue making steamed buns.
"Otherwise, why would someone kiss me secretly while I was sleeping?" Gu Qingheng lowered his voice.
"You..." Yang Ruxin glared at him in an instant, "You were actually not asleep?"
"I was asleep, but I could feel it," Gu Qingheng spread his hands, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t know that certain people are so... hmm?"
"Gu Qingheng, don’t act cute after taking advantage..." Yang Ruxin reached out to wipe his cheek, smearing flour on his face.
"I did take advantage, and I still want more," Gu Qingheng grabbed Yang Ruxin’s hand, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her lips. After a long while, he finally sighed and let go, "See, isn’t it better to kiss like this?"
Yang Ruxin’s face turned bright red: "Let go of me quickly, someone might come by..."
Gu Qingheng knew when to stop; he kissed her forehead one more time before letting go of her hand. Then he continued wrapping up the dumpling-making with a lingering affection.
Let’s leave the sweet moments in the Yang Family’s courtyard aside for now. As for Widow Lü, ever since she returned home, she had been pondering her next move, not going out or seducing men anymore, which made the neighbors curious—could it be that she wanted to marry Old Yang Four and had turned over a new leaf?
But when news about the Yang Family came out, everyone was shocked again. Widow Lü hadn’t turned over a new leaf; she was scared.
However, after this incident, those men who had thought about seducing Widow Lü calmed down, afraid she might climb into bed with their brothers after getting involved with them, which would make for a troublesome dispute.
This left Widow Lü with much more peace, but thinking of Yang Ruxin’s ruthlessness made her fearful, and she hoped that the mysterious man would come quickly so she could return the silver to him and let him find someone else.
Of course, she never considered visiting the two men from the Yang Family who had been injured because of her.
But after waiting several days without seeing the mysterious man, another man showed up.
This man was none other than Wang Sheng.
"Why are you here?" Widow Lü watched Wang Sheng enter, not surprised, for the other men would come as soon as it got dark, finish their business, and leave; they still had their wives to sleep with. Only this man came after midnight and always climbed the wall and picked the lock.
"I missed you, you wanton woman," Wang Sheng said as he climbed onto the Kang bed, impatient, "Have you been alone these past few days, didn’t you miss someone taking care of you?"
Widow Lü rolled her eyes at Wang Sheng: "Not in the mood..." She genuinely looked down on this man but didn’t dare offend him because he was really capable of hitting her if displeased. So she thought it best to comply, since he was good in bed, had stamina, and generally provided her with food and other necessities generously after the act, which is why she kept hooking up with him.
"Still thinking about those two from the Yang Family?" Wang Sheng wasn’t offended and began to undress, "Let me tell you, those two are done for. Just give it up..." As he spoke, he crawled into the blankets and started to become restless.
Widow Lü rolled her eyes again and pushed his hand away: "I wasn’t thinking about them at all."
