Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten-Chapter 356: The Bedroom

The door to Lin Zhengran’s bedroom closed.

Under the covers, Jiang Xueli lay flat on the bed, hugging Lin Zhengran’s neck and kissing him.

She felt his hands slipping under her clothes, getting a bit frisky. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

“Zhengran…”

But they had barely kissed for a few moments before Lin Zhengran’s phone rang.

Jiang Xueli blushed, looking at him. “Your phone’s ringing… you should answer it.”

Zhengran glanced at his bashful Lily and said, “Just wait for me a sec.”

“Mm-hmm.”

He sat up on the side of the bed, and while he answered the call, Jiang Xueli quietly undid the clasp behind her back,

pulled out a certain piece of clothing, and set it on the nightstand.

Seeing that it was Pan Lin calling, Lin Zhengran picked up. “Hey, Pan Lin? What’s up?”

On the phone, Pan Lin said,

“President Lin, I followed up on your instructions and looked into the factory director’s disappearance. Turns out it’s pretty suspicious. People say he used to gamble a bit, but never played big.

Some suspect he lost a huge amount this time and ran off, but others say he never gambled that much, so it doesn’t add up. Lots of different stories.”

Zhengran thought for a moment. Based on what Uncle Jiang had said and his own understanding of the guy, this former boss had been running the factory in town for seven or eight years. For him to suddenly vanish was definitely odd.

“Who did he usually gamble with?”

Pan Lin answered while Jiang Xueli sat nearby, quietly watching Zhengran’s serious expression.

Then, her gaze suddenly drifted to a certain direction—

Her face flushed, and she bit her moist lips, then ducked into the covers.

Pan Lin continued,

“He mostly played cards with a regular group—Uncle Jiang and some of the other factory management. But since last month, he stopped playing at the factory and started gambling with someone named Brother Yang.”

“Who’s this Brother Yang? Alright, got i—” Zhengran suddenly paused mid-sentence.

He’d just felt something odd and looked down to see Lily, who was clearly up to no good under the covers. His brows furrowed slightly.

This girl… since when did she start picking up tricks from Wenwen?

“President Lin?” Pan Lin asked. “Why did you stop talking?”

“Mm. Got it. Look into this Brother Yang a bit. Let me know if anything comes up. I’ve got something else going on right now, so I’ll hang up.”

“Understood. I’ll report back once I find something. Talk soon.”

After ending the call, Lin Zhengran set down his phone and looked at the girl hiding under the blanket.

“Lily.”

Jiang Xueli peeked her head out, cheeks glowing red. “What is it? Silly Zhengran, lie down and rest for a bit. Let me help you relax~”

Zhengran smiled. “Are girls just naturally good at this? You’re kinda amazing.”

Jiang Xueli was too embarrassed to respond. “Of course not! I looked up tutorials just to make you happy, okay? Don’t ask! Dummy! Just lie down and close your eyes!”

Then she ducked back under the covers.

That afternoon, the bed in Lin Zhengran’s room saw quite a bit of action.

The two spent a long time being intimate, and since it was their second time, Lily handled it much better.

She didn’t immediately doze off afterward and instead lay on the pillow, gazing at him.

There was just a hint of sweat on her forehead, with a few strands of hair sticking to it.

“Zhengran… thank you, really.”

Lying on his side, Lin Zhengran gently caressed her cheek. “Still talking about that? Are we not done yet?”

Jiang Xueli blinked and pouted, “I’m not repeating myself. It’s just… you’re the only one who’s always there when things go wrong. It really moves me. I won’t let you down in the music competition at the end of the year—I’ll win first place, make the company a ton of money, and make you money too!”

Zhengran smiled helplessly. “The money’s not the point. Once you win, you’ll be famous. I’ll put more resources into promoting you so everyone knows about my Lily. When you become a superstar singer, I’ll be the guy dating the diva.”

Lily couldn’t help laughing. “That actually sounds really good. But now I’m curious—Zhengran, what exactly do you like about me? And don’t say it’s because I’m cute—there are tons of cute girls out there. Why pick me?”

“You’re full of weird questions today.”

She let out a playful hum, then proudly closed her eyes and said with a smirk,

“You know, I’m going to be a diva one day! A big star! Ordinary guys won’t even catch my eye. But…”

She opened her eyes and looked at him seriously.

“But compared to you, I still have a long way to go. You’re the one who helped me grow into who I am. That’s why I really want to know—what do you like about me? Just tell me already~”

Zhengran chuckled and leaned close to her ear, whispering something.

Lily’s eyes widened in surprise.

So that’s what made Zhengran fall for me? But… isn’t that something any girl could do? Don’t most people act like that around someone they love?

Zhengran laid back down, shaking his head. Even though his life in this timeline had been smooth, in his past life, he’d met many women.

“Nope. Girls like that are rare. But you, He Qing, Wenwen, and Jingshi—you all have that quality. That’s part of why I like you. But of course, the biggest reason is… you really are adorable. Who wouldn’t like that?”

Lily’s heart skipped again after hearing that. She huffed softly,

“Adorable? That’s just your opinion… no one else says that.”

“Want to take a nap? We went at it all afternoon—you must be tired.”

She slowly let go of his hand. “I’m okay… just a little tired. But I kinda like this kind of tiredness. I wouldn’t mind more of it.”

“You’re really a naughty one sometimes.”

“Ugh! You’re so annoying!” Lily dove into his arms and closed her eyes.

“I’m going to nap. Wake me up when we have to go back.”

“No problem.”

Twenty minutes later, downstairs in the apartment complex, Lin Yingjun parked his car and got out with Lin Xiaoli.

They were chatting casually.

But when they got in the elevator and reached their front door, Lin Xiaoli suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“Huh? Someone’s been here?”

Lin Yingjun was puzzled. “What do you mean? How can you tell?”

Lin Xiaoli gave her husband a knowing look. “I’m very sensitive to little details. Didn’t you smell just the faintest bit of shampoo in the hallway?”

Lin Yingjun sniffed. “Huh? Now that you mention it, maybe… but it’s really faint. Could’ve drifted in through the hallway window.”

“Hmph. Except I didn’t open the hallway window today. And this scent—it’s familiar.”

She winked at him and tiptoed through the door.

Quietly, she crept toward her son’s room, saw the closed door, then looked back at her husband with a smug grin.

See? Told you I was right.

Lin Yingjun gave her a thumbs-up. “Nice! You figured it out just like that.”

Lin Xiaoli pushed the door open with arms wide, beaming.

“Ranran! Why didn’t you tell your mom you were coming home? Come here and give Mommy a hug—”

Then she froze.

On the bed, Lin Zhengran was holding a clean, sound-asleep Jiang Xueli in his arms, glancing back with a finger to his lips.

Lin Xiaoli’s face instantly turned red. Without another word, she slammed the door shut and backed out at lightning speed.

From outside the room, she called out,

“Sorry to bother you! Mom and Dad are going to start cooking—keep the noise down, you two!”
