Su Liumeng noticed the little one’s expression and gave an awkward smile.
I cleared my throat and tried to smooth things over. “Alright, alright. Let’s go to sleep.”
Si Zhiruo did not leave. Instead, she looked at me meaningfully.
“Mom.”
“There’s still one more thing you haven’t said.”
My body stiffened. Instinctively, I wanted to avoid it. “Let’s sleep first. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
Too many things had happened today.
And discussing something so important with Su Liumeng on top of that.
I was afraid my emotions would not be able to bear it.
At least give myself a little time to adjust.
Seeing the two of us speaking so solemnly, Su Liumeng’s heart skipped a beat, and an uneasy premonition suddenly rose within her.
She saw Si Zhiruo nod toward her, then spread her hands with an innocent expression.
Su Liumeng immediately formed a guess.
Could it be—
Was it related to what Si Zhiruo had discussed with her?
Their plan had already been very detailed. Si Zhiruo would take the lead in uncovering the secret buried deep in her own heart.
After all, it was impossible for a person to suddenly lose most of their basic emotions.
Since they already had a result—and it was something inconvenient to say directly—
Then it could be inferred that the worry Si Xinyan had always hidden in her heart
Must be extremely important.
Something that would cause a violent emotional fluctuation once spoken aloud.
It might even affect herself.
With nervous emotions, Su Liumeng slipped under the covers.
Si Zhiruo moved a little closer to the wall, covered with a smaller floral blanket printed with several cute cartoon kittens.
At this moment, she curled up beneath the blanket, only a small dark head exposed.
You could just see the kitten ears on her pajama hood.
The three of us each had our own blanket.
Su Liumeng looked at the girl gradually curling into a ball, hugging her knees, her slender figure heartbreaking to behold. She quietly lifted a corner of her own blanket and, without making a sound, slid most of her body in from the edge of the floral blanket beside her.
Sensing someone slipping into my blanket, my body stiffened inexplicably. My pale toes curled nervously.
“Xinxin, baby.” Su Liumeng’s breath brushed against my neck. I instinctively glanced forward. Our daughter was already fast asleep, breathing steadily without any disturbance.
“What are you doing?” I whispered reproachfully.
“Lower your voice. Our daughter’s already asleep.”
“I missed you.” Su Liumeng buried her head against me and took two deep breaths at my neck. “I haven’t seen you in days. I missed your scent.”
My heart softened.
Then I suddenly thought of something. “There weren’t any shameless women pestering you these past few days, were there?”
As the only rightful partner, I had to keep my instincts sharp.
“Of course not.” Su Liumeng immediately surrendered. “Now that I already have my baby, how would I dare get close to anyone else?”
My eyes shifted. Pretending to be generous, I relaxed my tone. “Actually, it’s fine. You’re so outstanding. Wanting to find a second wife would be understandable. I’m not a narrow-minded person. Of course I would respect your choice.”
What kind of question was that?
Faced with such a deadly trap, how could Su Liumeng dare continue along that line?
In an instant, she felt as if something terrifying were staring at her from behind.
In the darkness, it was as though a bright, watchful eye was carefully observing every change in her expression.
Su Liumeng did not hesitate. “I would not dare.”
She hurried to correct herself. “Not that I would not dare. It’s just that with you, my heart is already full. There’s no room for anyone else.”
“You are the moon in the sky. Loving you alone is enough for me.”
She even added a bit of flattery. “To be favored by a fairy like you, I should already be overwhelmed with gratitude. How could I insult you by liking someone else?”
“Among countless waters, I will take only one ladle. Yours is enough.”
“So cheesy.” I shoved her lightly. “Go to sleep.”
With a soft snort, the girl’s little face flushed slightly, clearly pleased by the sweet words.
Seeing that she had successfully passed the test, Su Liumeng’s back was already damp with cold sweat.
She did not bring up the topic Si Zhiruo had hinted at before bed.
If baby had not said it yet, then she was not mentally prepared.
There was no need to rush.
When the time came, she would know.
I nestled against Su Liumeng’s chest, my long lashes trembling.
After emotions were stirred, it was easy to feel something deeper.
Especially in such a quiet environment.
An inexplicable feeling spread through my heart.
It was a strange emotion, suddenly flowing from my lower abdomen.
My mind grew a little out of control. I inexplicably thought of the last time I was with her, how I had been flipping back and forth like a fried egg.
Sure enough.
Someone who had never experienced anything before
Was completely different from someone who already knew what it felt like.
Though I hated to admit it, it seemed not as uncomfortable as I had once imagined, just as Su Liumeng had described.
After all, that night I had been very restrained, practically without any reaction.
And yet, at the very end, I still let out a soft sound I could not control.
Thinking was one thing.
But I only let my mind wander a little.
After all, I had only recently left behind my innocence. There was no way I could boldly talk about it like Su Liumeng did. So I simply kept my increasingly flushed face buried in her arms.
And besides, it was not like I was that expectant.
I curled my lips slightly.
My mind wandered to what Su Liumeng had once said—that this was normal for couples.
That everyone was an adult, and having certain physical needs was a perfectly normal reaction.
Why feel ashamed?
What was so terrible about acknowledging one’s own desires?
I also thought of how, before she had even started dating me, she had already bought a pile of items for her room.
You certainly acknowledged your desires.
But did you have to buy that many things?
I felt flustered, especially thinking that every time she did those things, she was imagining me.
So.
Had I always been the source of Su Liumeng’s uncontrollable desire?
At the thought of that, my whole body grew even hotter—so hot it felt abnormal. Su Liumeng even sensed the change.
She paused, then seemed to realize something.
“Baby, are you feeling stirred up?” She was a woman too. She knew that during certain points in the monthly cycle, stronger desire was a normal physical reaction.
I bit my lip stubbornly. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
And yet, it really did seem to be exactly as Su Liumeng suspected.
The main thing was that I already liked her.
Tonight had also been my emotional low point. With her taking care of me like this, I could only grow more dependent on her.
It was all Su Liumeng’s fault for whispering so many sweet words to me.
I secretly poked at my own fingers, inwardly grumbling.
Su Liumeng chuckled softly, her palm slowly moving downward. “It’s fine if baby will not admit it. The body does not lie. I will know with just a touch.”
My long legs suddenly clamped together under my nightgown. My straight back jolted as if electrified. My small hand quickly grabbed her wandering hand. My voice was barely louder than a whisper, tinged with a hint of pleading. “Do not. Do not fool around. Our daughter is right beside us.”
Hearing the girl’s pleading voice, the emotion and sweetness within it were obvious. Si Zhiruo’s temperature rose slightly as well.
With Si Zhiruo right there, she did not dare go too far and challenge Si Xinyan’s already taut nerves.
“Then let’s not mess around. Otherwise I will not be able to control myself.”
I pressed my lips together and nodded, still defending myself weakly. “You were the one who crawled into my blanket.”
“Yes. It was my fault for causing trouble. Not baby’s.”
“Hmph.”
“As long as you know you were wrong. I cannot possibly be wrong anyway.”
“Yes, yes. It is all my fault.”
Su Liumeng was utterly indulgent.
