Ji Yan, pressed down and panting, clutching his stomach, could no longer say what he had just said. How could he say it? The atmosphere was completely ruined by this little chubby boy!
Tang Tang knew Ji Xiaozhuo’s weight and was so scared that she quickly went to rub Ji Yan’s stomach. “Honey, how are you? Does your stomach hurt?”
Ji Yan felt comfortable being rubbed, so he simply took his hand away and let her rub it, but his eyes glanced at Ji Xiaozhuo, who was looking down guiltily. “Didn’t you leave? Why are you back?”
Ji Xiaozhuo’s little fingers were fidgeting. “I just thought about it carefully, and I think it’s too early for me to be a man. After all, I’m still a baby. I can be a man when I’m older.”
“Ha—” Ji Yan was so angry at this shameless little chubby boy. He had ruined such a good opportunity. He really wanted to spank him.
Ji Yan covered his forehead with a headache. For the first time, he felt that having a son was like being sent to collect a debt.
“Tang Tang, my head hurts.”
“Oh? Why does your head hurt again?” Tang Tang moved closer to Ji Yan and reached out to massage his temples. “How does this feel? Does it make you feel better?”
Tang Tang’s fingers were soft and her pressure was just right; it felt really comfortable, and he felt much better. Ji Yan decided not to argue with this chubby little boy, Ji Xiaozhuo.
“Honey, what were you trying to say to me just now?” Tang Tang asked softly as she massaged him. She had a feeling that what he was about to say must have been something important.
Ji Yan paused for a moment, glanced at the chubby little light bulb, and shook his head. “I’ll talk to you next time. It’s getting late, go to sleep.”
Hearing that he could finally sleep, Ji Xiaozhuo huddled up with his little pillow, feeling wronged. Tang Tang was about to let him sleep in the middle when the little guy grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear, “Mommy, I think Daddy wants to spank me. I can’t sleep in the middle tonight, it’s dangerous. Let’s switch places, and we’ll switch back when I’m safe.”
Tang Tang: “”
The sharp-eared Ji Yan: “Tang Tang, you sleep in the middle.” Did this brat think he really wanted to sleep in the middle?
Tang Tang hesitated for a moment. Although sleeping in the middle meant being very close to Ji Yan, which made her uneasy, she had no choice but to switch for Ji Xiaozhuo’s peace of mind. So that night, Tang Tang slept between the father and son.
Ji Yan reached out and turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness, but the faint fragrance of Tang Tang wafted clearly into his nostrils.
Ji Yan closed his eyes, suppressing the inappropriate impulses, and tried to regulate his breathing.
However, while he was suffering, the mother and child on the other side fell asleep within three minutes.
Ji Yan was both amused and exasperated. He reached out and touched Tang Tang’s waist. Seeing she didn’t move, he slowly pulled her close, until he completely embraced her. Inhaling the fragrance of her hair, he felt happiness overflowing his chest, and a smile curved his lips in the darkness.
He hadn’t understood love before, thinking it was just the melodramatic whining of bored people. His only feeling towards the girls who chased after him in school was annoyance; he wished they couldn’t see him. All his energy was devoted to studying and training, leaving no room for romance.
At an age when his peers were already married, he wasn’t particularly opposed to marriage. He just felt he could marry anyone, as long as they had a decent personality, were reasonably attractive, and didn’t mind that being a soldier meant he wouldn’t have time to care for a family. Later, he heard that his grandfather was secretly arranging a marriage for him with Gu Yiyi, a woman who valued family. He neither responded nor directly rejected the proposal, because he had heard that Gu Yiyi had a good personality and met his expectations for a wife in many ways.
However, this arrangement ultimately didn’t work out. That night, for the first time in his life, he was framed by a girl. This framed manipulates his life dramatically, and fate bestowed upon him an inescapable responsibility— Ji Xiaozhuo. He married her for the sake of their child, but they could never be like an ordinary couple, because she loved someone else. She framed him to get revenge on that person.
How ridiculous! But he wouldn’t let her have her way. He had long since severed ties with the Ji family.
When she learned this news, she was desperate and furious, and later became the person he loathed, so much so that he considered divorce.
However, fate sometimes likes to play tricks, catching people off guard at unexpected times. Like him, just as he was preparing to divorce her, a car accident caused her to lose her memory, transforming her into a completely different person— the kind of wife every man might dream of: gentle, lovely, simple, considerate, and virtuous, and most importantly, loving.
Such a woman might be almost extinct in this era, yet one still appeared, and this happened to be his wife. Initially, he was merely surprised by her change and tried to investigate, but ultimately treated her like a stranger, not investing much care or energy in her, and thus paying little attention to her various traits. The only difference between them was the shift from constant conflict to mutual respect.
Her appearance wasn’t attractive, her personality wasn’t attractive, her education wasn’t attractive, and her abilities were even less attractive. But this woman, seemingly unremarkable in every way, subtly permeated his life, making him feel the warmth of home and the care of a loved one. She quietly seeped into his heart without him even realizing it, making him care about her so much that even he, usually so oblivious to matters of the heart, couldn’t help but discover his feelings for her.
Some loves were passionate and dramatic, while others were mundane and uneventful. He belonged to the latter, yet his love possessed a joy and happiness no less intense than the former. Only after experiencing the taste of liking someone did he understand the magic of love; it could transform him into someone he never imagined he could be. For over thirty years, he had never imagined he would so desperately want to be with a woman, to hold her hand, to embrace her, to kiss her lips, and even, more profoundly, to possess her.
He once thought he wasn’t one of those lustful men, that the distance between them might be vast. But when he truly fell in love, he realized it wasn’t that he wasn’t lustful, but simply that the object of his affection hadn’t appeared yet. It seemed he too suffered from the common male ailment, unable to escape its allure.
However, there was no need to escape it.
Ji Yan slowly slipped his other arm under her neck, pulling her into his embrace, embedding her deeply within him. This position pleased him greatly, and he couldn’t resist gently kissing her ear before slowly closing his eyes.
In the middle of the night, Ji Xiaozhuo suddenly felt an urgent need to urinate. He instinctively reached for Tang Tang, calling out with his eyes closed, “Mommy~ Mommy~” But his mother wasn’t there. Ji Xiaozhuo squinted and reached for her again, but still couldn’t find her.
Mommy was gone!
Ji Xiaozhuo woke up with a start, his eyes widening. He crawled to the bedside lamp and turned it on. The light illuminated his face, and he froze. The next second, he was furious.
It was too much! Daddy had taken Mommy away and was holding her, preventing her from holding him! It was outrageous!
Ji Xiaozhuo immediately tried to pry Ji Yan’s hands off his mother, but he was no match for Ji Yan’s strength. He couldn’t budge her an inch, and instead of waking her, he exhausted himself.
Ji Xiaozhuo took a breath to rest, but the movement only made him feel the urge to urinate more. He decided to go to the toilet first and then think about what to do.
When the bathroom door closed, Ji Yan opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. Actually, he’d woken up as soon as Ji Xiaozhuo called for his mother, but he’d deliberately kept his eyes closed, wanting to see what the little guy would do next.
About five minutes later, Ji Xiaozhuo came back in his slippers, climbed into bed, and quietly watched his parents, who were tightly embracing, for a minute. Finally, there was movement. He reached out his little finger to poke Ji Yan’s face, calling softly, “Daddy, Daddy.”
He knew his father would wake up immediately at the slightest sound, and this poke would surely wake him. Then he could say he was scared and wanted to sleep between them. Sometimes admitting to being scared was okay, after all, he was still a baby.
But today, for some reason, Ji Yan didn’t wake up, still sleeping soundly. Undeterred, Ji Xiaozhuo boldly reached for his father’s ear, but still couldn’t wake him.
Ji Xiaozhuo was puzzled, not understanding what was wrong with his father tonight, but he didn’t want to wake his mother, who had just recovered from illness and needed more rest. So, feeling helpless, he reluctantly crawled back into bed to continue sleeping, snuggling tightly against Tang Tang and trying to squeeze his chubby little body into her arms. Once he was settled, he finally fell asleep again.
Ji Yan opened his eyes, smiled, and tucked the little guy in. He placed his large hand on the little guy’s belly and pulled both mother and child into his embrace.
The next day, when Ji Xiaozhuo woke up, his parents were nowhere to be seen. He still remembered what happened the night before and was still furious. He immediately yelled, “Mommy—”
Tang Tang, who was doing her daily beauty routine in the bathroom, was startled and rushed out. “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
Ji Xiaozhuo pouted when he saw her, looking incredibly aggrieved. “Mommy, you abandoned me last night! You want Daddy, not me!”
“Huh?” Tang Tang was completely confused. When did she abandon him? “Baby, what are you saying? How could Mommy not want you?”
Ji Xiaozhuo stomped his foot on the bed, making it shake. “Mommy, don’t lie to me! I saw it when I got up to pee in the middle of the night. Daddy cuddled you while you slept, and I slept alone. None of you take care of me!”
Ji Xiaozhuo’s accusations were so real, and he wasn’t a lying baby, so Tang Tang’s eyes widened in surprise, and her mouth gaped open.
When did she sleep cuddling with Ji Yan? How come she didn’t know? Could it be that she was restless in her sleep, trying to touch Ji Yan and then snuggling into his arms, and Ji Yan mistook her for Ji Xiaozhuo and hugged her?
The more Tang Tang thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Otherwise, could Ji Yan have hugged her on his own initiative? Impossible.
Oh no, she was such a woman! What would Ji Yan think of her? Would he think she wasn’t reserved enough?
Tang Tang was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn’t even consider any other possibilities.
Seeing his mother’s expression shift from frowning to blushing to feigning annoyance, Ji Xiaozhuo scratched his head in confusion. “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you even listening to me?”
Tang Tang immediately put down her hand, “I heard you, but Mom didn’t mean to. Mom just doesn’t sleep well, so she rolled into Dad’s arms.”
“Really?” Ji Xiaozhuo thought about it suspiciously, then realized it made sense. Dad had never hugged Mom before; last night was the only time. It probably really was an accident. So the little guy hugged Tang Tang’s neck and said, “Then Mom, you have to be good tonight. If you want to hug someone, hug me.”
Tang Tang nodded awkwardly, her face burning all day.
When it was time to sleep that night, Ji Xiaozhuo hugged his pillow and lay down between the two of them, spreading his arms and legs wide apart, like a silver river separating his parents.
Tang Tang, head down, focused on sewing, pretending not to notice Ji Xiaozhuo’s intentions. Ji Yan, knowing full well Ji Xiaozhuo’s intentions, also acted as if he didn’t, calmly reading his book. There was no exchange between them.
Seeing this, Ji Xiaozhuo gradually relaxed, completely believing that Tang Tang had indeed been up to something the previous night. He stopped watching, slowly closed his eyes, and quickly drifted into a sweet dream.
Now that they were alone, Tang Tang’s heart pounded as she thought about their embrace the previous night. She felt an inexplicable tension and unease spreading in the air, so she simply followed Ji Xiaozhuo’s example and went to sleep, believing that sleep would make her forget everything.
Ji Yan could easily see through Tang Tang’s little scheme, but he didn’t want her to run away. She clearly liked him too, yet always thought he didn’t like her, cautiously being kind to him without daring to speak directly, probably afraid of rejection. But if it had been before, he probably really would have rejected her.
If he suddenly told her he liked her now, would she think he was joking? Probably. So he had to slowly let her feel his affection before telling her directly, so she would accept it naturally.
Thinking of this, Ji Yan said softly, “Tang Tang, my chest hurts, come and rub it for me.”
Tang Tang, upon hearing this, didn’t care about her shyness at all. She immediately sat up, climbed over Ji Xiaozhuo, and crawled over to him, reaching out to rub his chest. “Is it here? Why does it hurt so much? Did you bump into this area during training today?”
Ji Yan sighed comfortably inwardly, but his face remained expressionless. “I was accidentally punched during a fight.”
Ji Yan wasn’t lying; he had indeed been punched, but it was nothing to him. It was the other person who was yelling in pain.
Now, bringing this up, Ji Yan honestly felt quite shameless. How could he do such a thing? But he had done it anyway, and he didn’t want to stop.
Love really does make people miserable. Tang Tang was terrified when she heard he’d been punched. The fists of those elite soldiers were incredibly powerful; she’d once seen a soldier smash a huge sandbag with a single punch, sending sand flying everywhere. A punch like that would hurt like hell.
Tang Tang reached out and started pulling at Ji Yan’s clothes. “Any injuries on your chest? Let me see.”
Ji Yan didn’t resist at all, readily taking off his pajamas shirt, and just like that, shirtless, he started his lewd act.
Ji Yan’s physique was undeniably impressive. He’d joined the army after graduating with his master’s degree at twenty-four, and this year marked his tenth year. Ten years of military service had long since shed his youthful naiveté, filling him with masculine charm. This was evident not only in his numerous scars, a testament to his honor, but also in his solid muscles: eight perfectly defined abs that could make any woman scream, plus that sexy V-line— it would make any woman swoon.
Of course, Tang Tang’s innate reserve prevented her from screaming, though her skin turned bright red, her cheeks almost bleeding. Fortunately, she was mindful of Ji Yan’s injury, which kept her from panicking too much. When she saw the large bruise on Ji Yan’s chest with traces of blood, she immediately forgot all her shyness and blushing, and rushed to find some medicinal wine to rub on it. Ji Yan usually ignored such minor injuries, but now, with Tang Tang carefully rubbing the medicinal wine, he suddenly felt that it was good to treat injuries.
“Does it hurt?” Tang Tang rubbed and blew on it, afraid he would be in pain.
Ji Yan felt incredibly comforted. Seeing her so worried, he didn’t dare to frighten her further, and stroked her cheek. “It doesn’t hurt at all, don’t worry.”
Tang Tang, however, felt he was deliberately comforting her. How could something so serious not hurt? It must be excruciating.
Ji Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and simply decided not to explain and just enjoy it.
Tang Tang massaged Ji Yan for half an hour without stopping. Seeing that she was tired, Ji Yan took her hand and told her to stop. “I feel much better. It’s getting late, go to sleep.”
“Okay, I’ll massage you again tomorrow.” Tang Tang was about to step over Ji Xiaozhuo to go back to sleep on his side when Ji Yan suddenly grabbed her.
Tang Tang was puzzled.
“Sleep next to me, that way you can massage my chest when it hurts.” Ji Yan said such a shameless thing without changing his expression. If Dong Li and Zhuo Ji were here, they would definitely shout that Ji Yan was possessed by a ghost.
Although Tang Tang felt embarrassed by what Ji Yan said, her heartache for him prevailed. She endured her shyness and lay down next to him, once again becoming the one sleeping between the father and son.
Ji Yan turned off the light and felt Tang Tang’s hand in the darkness. He gently massaged her wrist. Her wrist must be very sore from massaging him with medicated wine for so long.
Tang Tang bit her lip as he massaged her wrist, feeling a tingling, numb sensation travel from her wrist to every part of her body, almost making her numb. She was so glad Ji Xiaozhuo was asleep, otherwise the little guy would definitely think she was sick again.
Ji Yan continued to massage her tirelessly, making Tang Tang go from tense to tingling, from tingling to pleasure, from pleasure to happiness, and finally from happiness to falling asleep.
When Ji Xiaozhuo woke up again because he needed to pee after drinking water before bed, he saw his parents embracing each other sweetly, while he looked like a pitiful orphan.
Ji Xiaozhuo was furious again.
