He Ju was chopping vegetables and couldn't help but sigh, "Turns out I'm the fish that Si Hua has hooked…"
As he spoke, He Ju turned to look at Bai Yan, who was washing vegetables beside him, "Even my own brother is an accomplice."
Bai Yan laughed, "Hey, He Ju, don't act all innocent after getting a bargain. My gorgeous sister has been won over by you, and you're still not secretly thrilled?"
At Bai Yan's words, everyone burst into laughter.
He Ju joined in, "Right, right, I should be thanking you for giving me such a beautiful wife."
Song Xuan patted He Ju on the shoulder and shook his head, "It seems we've both been played. Ah, the days ahead are going to be tough!"
He Ju just smiled without a word.
Bai Yan roared with laughter, "Big Brother Song, you can't play innocent either. Yu Yan may be a researcher at the institute in the light and a tutor at your school in the dark, but she's no less beautiful than my sister. You've really hit the jackpot."
Fatty and Motor were green with envy.
Before Song Xuan could respond, Fatty chimed in, "Bai Yan, do you only have a sister? Don't you have a younger sister or something?"
Bai Yan teased, "Oh? You're eyeing my family again? Sorry to disappoint, but I really only have one sister. And even if I had a younger sister, I wouldn't give her to you, let alone He Ju…"
He Ju asked, "What do you mean by that, Bai Yan?"
Bai Yan laughed, "Because I think if I had a younger sister, she'd probably be a bit foolish, not as shrewd as my sister, and I can't let her be tricked by you guys…"
Motor protested, "Hey, clarify that, what do you mean by 'you guys'?"
He Ju added, "Yeah, Bai Yan, those words could get you punched!"
Fatty immediately rushed over and grabbed Bai Yan by the neck, "That's clearly a lack of trust in the brothers. Watch me take you down!"
Bai Yan was howling in mock despair.
The kitchen was filled with joy, and Si Hua and He Yuyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
These were the days they had both dreamed of.
Si Hua mentioned, "My parents are planning to come to City A."
He Yuyan replied, "That's great news. Now that you're married, it's indeed time for both parents to meet."
Si Hua, however, seemed a bit worried, "It's not that I'm concerned about my parents disapproving of He Ju, but you know our family clan isn't easy to get along with. As the direct heir to our family business, marrying He Ju means he now has a claim to half of my inheritance. This will definitely cause a stir. How could those people be happy about it?"
After pondering for a few seconds, He Yuyan said, "It's a tricky situation. Even if your parents support you and He Ju, you still have to deal with these people… But… I think you should take it one step at a time and deal with challenges as they come. There's always a way."
Si Hua scratched her head, "Guess we'll just have to play it by ear."
He Yuyan nodded, "Let me know if you need help."
Si Hua agreed, "Sure. And what about you? You and Little Song have been married for over two years now, any plans?"
He Yuyan, not lacking in wealth, with Song Xuan's parents both being government officials and her brother being a prominent businessman in City A, and Song Xuan himself busy with research projects and studies, didn't lack money either.
As Si Hua expected, He Yuyan whispered, "I'm trying to conceive, planning to surprise Song Xuan this year."
Si Hua wasn't surprised by He Yuyan's response.
Si Hua approved, "That's fantastic."
He Yuyan urged, "You should hurry up too."
Si Hua nodded with a smile and then quietly asked He Yuyan, "Do you have any… tips to share in that part?"
He Yuyan's eyes twinkled as she quickly pulled out her phone, "I'll order you a few sets of lingerie. As newlyweds, you should have some fun…"
Si Hua's eyes widened in shock, "You… you're into that?"
He Yuyan chuckled, "I don't know what Little Ju thinks, but I bet most men can't resist."
He Yuyan whispered, "And there's cosplay. Not just me, he wears it too. You might think Song Xuan is all serious with his glasses, but he's just as playful as I am in private. He's just shy, so usually, I'm the one who initiates…"
Si Hua felt numb listening, "Yu Yan, don't you think you should be a little more reserved?"
He Yuyan laughed, "What's the point of being reserved? Isn't marriage about trying new things? Look at Little Song, his life is all experiments and projects, no fun at all. So his only joy is his wife…"
Si Hua thought to herself, He Ju wasn't a prude, and he had his share of tricks in bed…
If she introduced new tricks, would He Ju… let her off easy?
Si Hua wanted to ask more, but He Ju came out, "What are you two chatting about? You seem happy."
Si Hua immediately clammed up, "Nothing, nothing…"
He Yuyan had already chosen the clothes, added them to the cart, and made the purchase, sending them to Si Hua's address.
He Ju tactfully didn't ask further, sensing they'd discussed something sensitive, noting Si Hua's flushed ears…
He Ju suggested, "Let's wash up and get ready to eat."
Si Hua ran over, tiptoed, and kissed He Ju's cheek, "Thanks, husband, for your hard work."
Song Xuan also emerged from the kitchen, and seeing the intimate interaction between He Ju and Si Hua, he averted his gaze.
Just as Song Xuan was about to head back into the kitchen, He Yuyan grabbed his collar, turned him around, and planted a kiss on his lips, "You've worked hard today. I'll take good care of you tonight~"
Song Xuan's eyes widened in shock. It was one thing for He Yuyan to be bold in private, but in front of others?
Embarrassed, Song Xuan blurted out, "He Yuyan?!"
He Yuyan was beaming with joy, "Be good, Little Song, you should call me 'wife'~"
Song Xuan was speechless, thinking, with a wife like this, I'm really in for it.
Although He Ju was usually thick-skinned, He Yuyan's words made him blush too, and he quickly led Si Hua away.
Si Hua, however, silently gave He Yuyan a thumbs up in her mind. She truly was a sister-in-arms; Si Hua herself wouldn't dare to flirt with He Ju so openly, for fear of inviting trouble.
Once He Ju and Si Hua had gone to the living room, He Yuyan pulled Song Xuan onto the balcony and closed the door, cutting off the view from inside.
Song Xuan jumped back as if he'd leaped ten meters, eyeing He Yuyan warily, "What are you planning to do to me now?"
He Yuyan sighed, "We're at Si Hua's place, what could I possibly do? You could at least call me 'teacher.' Why don't you trust me?"
Song Xuan's face flushed, "I'm telling you, you can't reveal our relationship in front of my classmates…"
He Yuyan smiled slyly, "Why not? We were married before I took the position at your institute. Plus, I'm just a part-time tutor, and I don't supervise you, so what are you afraid of?"
Song Xuan didn't respond, and He Yuyan moved closer, "You have to call me 'wife' first, then 'teacher.' Any problem with that?"
