Lin Shen caressed Lin Ping’s feverish cheek and whispered in her ear.

"You’re wearing a wedding dress. What should you call me?"

"Hubby~"

Lin Ping murmured knowingly, her voice filled with shyness yet tinged with a hint of pleasant surprise.

A fiery glint flashed in Lin Shen’s eyes at the sight of her devastatingly beautiful, bashful expression.

「Midnight.」

The sounds from the next room woke Anan from a deep sleep.

It also happened to be the time she usually woke up in the middle of the night, so she obediently rolled out of bed, planning to go to the bathroom.

However, as she passed the master bedroom door, the melodious, bird-like sounds from inside made Anan a little confused. After rubbing her sleepy eyes, she suddenly seemed to think of something and immediately began to knock anxiously on the door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—!

Instantly, the sounds inside the master bedroom stopped. A moment later, Lin Ping’s slightly breathless inquiry came from within.

"Is that you, Anan?"

"Mommy, are you okay?"

"Mommy’s fine."

A moment later, the master bedroom door cracked open, revealing half of Lin Ping’s flushed, smiling face. She then reached a hand through the gap to pat Anan’s head and remind her,

"Go on to the bathroom. After you’re done, remember to go straight back to your room and sleep, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy."

Anan nodded obediently.

When she came back from the bathroom, she found the master bedroom door was closed again.

This time, however, it was silent.

「12:30 AM.」

Inside the master bedroom.

The wedding dress that was supposed to symbolize purity was now strewn messily on the floor, piled with several pieces of intimate apparel.

On the bed.

Lin Ping lay quietly on top of Lin Shen. Her pretty face was as gorgeous as a ripe peach, but her beautiful eyes were hazy and dazed.

She gently caressed the firm pectoral muscles her cheek was pressed against, murmuring self-reproachfully under her breath.

"Darling, am I terrible at this?"

"Why would you say that?"

Lin Shen hugged her delicate body tightly, constantly stroking her smooth back to comfort her, which only made Lin Ping feel even more guilty.

"I feel like I’m a very inadequate lover..."

"I was very satisfied with your wedding dress outfit today."

Lin Shen gave a wicked smile, his handsome look making Lin Ping’s heart flutter.

Then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she requested in a soft, pleading voice,

"Darling, can we not do this at home next time? Anan almost walked in on us today. It scared me to death!"

"And whose fault was that, may I ask?"

Lin Shen teased, giving Lin Ping’s flushed, pert bottom a light slap.

"It was because a certain someone was being so loud."

"I was not!"

Lin Ping protested, her pretty face flushing slightly, but when Lin Shen produced the evidence, her explanations seemed exceptionally pale and feeble.

"Hear that?"

Lin Shen’s lips curved into a slight smile.

"Remember not to be like that next time."

"Mmm..."

Lin Ping lowered her head, a little shy.

’She thought she had controlled herself well, but in her hazy state of mind, it seemed she still couldn’t hold back.’

Seeing this, Lin Shen chuckled lightly.

"It just means the soundproofing in this house isn’t good enough. How about we get a new place?"

’A new place?’

Lin Ping looked up in confusion, and Lin Shen took the opportunity to propose,

"Yes, this apartment is too small. It’s only a little over forty square meters, which is very limiting for Anan’s development."

"The environment in this old residential complex is also quite dirty and messy. Being so close to the community center and the street, it’s incredibly noisy, and the water and power go out from time to time."

"Besides, it’s a twenty-minute drive to either the Cat Cafe or the kindergarten. If you ride your bike, it’s at least an hour. It’s just too far."

"Mmm..."

Actually, everything Lin Shen said were real, everyday problems. Lin Ping herself had considered moving to a new place more than once to give Anan a better environment to grow up in.

But a decent apartment would cost five or six thousand a month, which was completely unaffordable on her salary.

So, left with no choice, she had to put the matter off again and again.

Perhaps sensing the conflict in her heart, Lin Shen stroked her smooth back and chuckled.

"Don’t worry about the rent. I’ll find a place for you. You just need to be ready to move at any time."

"Huh?"

Lin Ping’s expression froze for a moment, then her heart was suddenly enveloped by a deep warmth. She said softly,

"Darling, you don’t have to trouble yourself with this. You’ve already given me a salary of over ten thousand a month, which is more than enough for me to rent a nice apartment."

"It’s no trouble."

Lin Shen said magnanimously.

"After all, you’re my lover. It’s only natural that I find a warm, comfortable love nest for us."

"Darling..."

Lin Ping pressed her thin lips together, her limpid, beautiful eyes gradually misting over. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

’Lin Shen had brought her so much happiness and moved her so deeply today that she still felt like she was in a beautiful dream.’

’First, he bought her so many clothes and gold jewelry, and now he was going to help her find a new home...’

’What more could she ask for, being the lover of a man as wonderful as Lin Shen?’

"Thank you."

Lin Ping thanked him from the bottom of her heart, resolving to repay his kindness in her own way. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Even though her legs and waist were exceptionally sore, she still got out of bed and went to the closet to get the stockings Lin Shen had bought for her.

’Lin Ping knew very well what her lover liked.’

So, she decisively pulled a pair of thin, black pantyhose over her fair, full legs. She deliberately tore a hole in them, then asked Lin Shen with a seductive look,

"Hubby, is there anything else you want me to wear?"

"Mmm... go find a pair of high heels. And that qipao you sent me a picture of last time is quite nice. Put it on and let me see."

"Okay~"

’Tonight, Lin Ping was no longer shy or reserved.’

’Instead, she did her utmost to show off her seductive and sexy side, fully embodying the unique, mature charm of a young woman, determined to serve her man well.’

Especially to prevent her voice from getting too loud and waking Anan again.

She even deliberately picked up her underwear from the floor, balled it up, and unhesitatingly stuffed it into her mouth.

This made even Lin Shen pause, surprised that Lin Ping would go to such lengths.

Tonight, he had thoroughly experienced the Charm of this beautiful young woman, Lin Ping—whose affection level was clearly at 103%.
