Chapter 176: Chapter 174: It’s Over Before It Began

Lin Yanwan had a dream. It felt as if Jiang Xia was sleeping right beside her; even with each subconscious breath, she could smell his familiar scent.

In the dream, she was hugging Jiang Xia, one leg lifted and resting on his stomach just like she used to. The soft touch, the warm skin...

It all felt so real.

Watching his wife’s face gradually turn crimson, Jiang Xia wore a strange expression. She was hugging him so tightly, and her hands were starting to wander. ’What on earth is she dreaming about?’

’It couldn’t be...’

Her smooth calf brushed against him. Jiang Xia sucked in a breath, trying his best not to think about any lewd images. He held his wife without moving, pretending to be asleep.

Lin Yanwan let out an unconscious, soft hum. The desire to find pleasure in her dream slowly began to grow within her.

’After all, even if I had a baby with him in a dream, that guy wouldn’t know a thing anyway.’

In her daze, she felt that this dream was particularly realistic, as memorable as their wedding night.

But compared to her past ignorance and shyness, she was now thoroughly experienced.

Suddenly, a faint, barely audible moan sounded beside her ear. Lin Yanwan’s body stiffened.

Her eyes were still closed, but her hands began to move about. An image formed in her mind—the quilt, the blanket, her own leg, and the person next to her was...

She held her breath, her eyelids struggling to open a tiny slit. A blurry figure slowly came into focus. She froze completely, her mouth gradually falling open. Before she could jump up and scream, Jiang Xia pressed her down and sealed her lips with a kiss.

Gazing at Jiang Xia’s handsome, sunny face, Lin Yanwan’s heart hammered in her chest. ’So that wasn’t a dream just now, but something that was actually happening?’

’Then the things I did to him in my dream... they didn’t really...’

At that thought, her face instantly flushed scarlet.

After calming herself down, she forcefully pushed Jiang Xia off her. More than whether her dream had mirrored reality, she clearly wanted to know why Jiang Xia was in her bed right now.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, speechless.

In her mind, no matter how bold this guy was or how many tricks he had up his sleeve, he wouldn’t dare sneak into her bed to cuddle with her right under her parents’ noses.

"Mom and Dad already left for work. It’s just me, you, and Xiao Man at home," Jiang Xia said with a light chuckle.

Lin Yanwan’s face twitched. ’No wonder he’s suddenly so bold.’ But who runs to their girlfriend’s bed first thing in the morning? He was in such a hurry.

"I dreamed about you last night, so I took a shower first thing this morning," Jiang Xia said shamelessly.

A bashful look flickered in her eyes. ’You’d better just be talking about a shower.’

"Pah! That has nothing to do with me."

"How does it have nothing to do with you? It’s not like I can control what I do in my dreams. It’s just like how you were just getting handsy with me in your dream. I refuse to believe you didn’t feel a thing," Jiang Xia said righteously.

’In other words, as if he didn’t know his own wife’s body?’

"Say that again!"

Lin Yanwan, blushing, bit his arm. ’Everything he’s saying... isn’t it all his fault anyway?’

’Who would have thought the very person she was longing for would be sleeping right beside her pillow?’

Seeing his wife’s excessively shy appearance, Jiang Xia’s face broke into a radiant smile. ’When it comes to that stuff between men and women, once you start, it’s like jumping off a cliff. And don’t give me that "reborn as a young girl with no needs" nonsense. Weren’t you pretty skilled just now?’

He grabbed his wife’s wrists and slowly pressed closer. A sudden panic bloomed in Lin Yanwan’s heart, and her body instinctively stiffened. She didn’t know if she should push him away or tacitly allow him to continue.

The atmosphere between them gradually spun out of control. Their warm breaths brushed against each other’s faces. She sighed silently, as if opening her heart completely, and slowly closed her eyes, her lashes trembling with nervousness.

’Anyway, this body will be his sooner or later.’

Just as Lin Yanwan had prepared herself to give him everything, a knock suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Jiang Xia was startled. He thought his mother-in-law had come back. In a fluster, he scrambled off the bed, the front of his shorts looking as if nothing had been going on at all.

"Sister, where’s Mommy~?" Xiao Man’s groggy voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Xia’s face twitched violently. ’So it wasn’t his mother-in-law coming back at all, it was his little sister-in-law ruining his fun!’

’What perfect timing.’

Lin Yanwan glanced at him silently. All her passion had been doused with cold water in an instant, and she couldn’t help but want to laugh.

’Anyway, I gave him the chance, but he didn’t seize it. Who can he blame for that?~’

Just now, she simply hadn’t recovered from the afterglow of her dream and had been moved by the atmosphere. It wouldn’t be so easy for him to take advantage of her and try any funny business in the future.

"Serves you right!" Lin Yanwan said with a grin.

She straightened her slightly messy nightgown, got out of bed, and walked over to the wardrobe, changing into clean clothes right in front of Jiang Xia without any hesitation.

’Letting him watch right now is probably more torturous than killing him.’

Jiang Xia felt a lump of frustration in his chest. ’In the future, I’ll definitely make her give me ten or eight kids, or this isn’t over!’

"Thank you, my dear, for your mercy~"

Lin Yanwan audaciously planted a kiss on his cheek, then swayed her slender waist over to the door. Xiao Man was still in her cute cat-print pajamas, looking adorable with her sleepy eyes.

"Sister, Mommy’s gone," she said with a pout.

"Mommy and Daddy went to work. Be a good girl, Xiao Man. Come, let Sister give you a hug~" Lin Yanwan crouched down and lovingly stroked her little sister’s head.

"Mmm, hug."

Xiao Man threw herself into her sister’s arms, intending to be a little clingy for a while, but then she saw her brother-in-law was actually in her sister’s bedroom.

Her eyes went wide, her little head filled with big questions. ’Did Brother-in-law not go home last night? Did he spend the night in Sister’s room?!’

’So, they must have secretly made a baby, right?!’

She took a breath, deeply convinced that this was a huge secret that not even Mom and Dad knew about!

’But why does Brother-in-law’s gaze feel so weird right now? It’s like he wants to eat me.’

At this thought, Lin Xiaoman hugged her sister tightly.

"What’s wrong?"

"Brother-in-law is so scary today," Xiao Man whispered.

Lin Yanwan paused for a moment, then realized what was happening. Jiang Xia was probably sulking, and Xiao Man had keenly sensed it.

’Come to think of it, are kids really this sensitive? They can pick up on even the slightest emotional shift.’

"Don’t overthink it, Xiao Man. Your brother-in-law is just hungry." She hugged her sister and shot a glare at Jiang Xia.

He felt so wronged. Although his little sister-in-law had indeed ruined his fun, he wasn’t so deranged as to get angry at her.

"Mmm... Sister, Xiao Man’s tummy is hungry too!"
