Chapter 359: Chen Xueru Accepts Yu Haitang

Looking at Yu Haitang, whose cheeks were flushed and who was at a loss for what to do, Zhang Lei felt a sudden urge to tease her. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Haitang, you saw it too. Those are private things between Xue Ru and me, the kind of fun that only married couples have. If you don't have those feelings, then don't talk nonsense."

These words seemed to provoke Yu Haitang, who immediately raised her head, her eyes both shy and defiant: "Who said I wouldn't dare!"

She strode to the door, clicked it shut from the inside, then turned back to close the window, making sure no one would break in, before returning to the bedside. She closed her eyes tightly, as if making a tremendous decision, her voice trembling slightly but unusually firm: "I'll wear it for you to see."

Seeing that she was serious, Zhang Lei quickly stepped forward to stop her, pleading with a wry smile, "No, no, no, I was just joking with you, I'm scared, okay?"

But Yu Haitang was determined this time, shaking her head and refusing to give up. Looking at her bold yet innocent appearance, Zhang Lei's heart couldn't help but beat faster, feeling that this girl's temperament was really too fierce.

After changing her clothes, when she looked up again, her face was flushed with shyness, and she softly called out, "Brother Zhang Lei..."

Zhang Lei felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and subconsciously touched his nose, finding it indeed a little hot. Looking at the charming Yu Haitang before him, he said in a hoarse voice, "You're... playing with fire on purpose."

Looking at Yu Haitang, whose eyes were shy yet stubborn, Zhang Lei's teasing thoughts had long since transformed into burning emotions that he could no longer suppress. He stepped forward, gently embraced her, and tenderly carried her to the bedside.

Yu Haitang trembled slightly, but did not flinch. She simply lowered her eyes, her cheeks flushed, and quietly leaned against him, looking completely trusting.

Zhang Lei leaned down and whispered gently in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

His movements were slow and deliberate, tinged with a touch of caution. What began as a little awkwardness gradually gave way to deep affection. Though shy, Yu Haitang mustered her courage, gently approaching and nestling into his arms, her voice barely a whisper: "Brother Zhang Lei..."

Zhang Lei's heart softened, and he reached out to gently embrace her. He felt that the person in his arms was soft and warm, and all his suppressed restlessness turned into deep-seated pampering and tenderness.

(38,000 words omitted here... 108 different kinds of clothing images...)

Watching Yu Haitang try on each of the unique new clothes, Zhang Lei couldn't help but sincerely praise, "Haitang, you have a great figure, you look good in anything."

Yu Haitang nestled in Zhang Lei's arms, blushing and lowering her head, whispering, "Brother Zhang Lei, if you like it, I'll wear it for you every day from now on."

Zhang Lei smiled and agreed, his eyes full of appreciation. Just as he was carefully examining the room, the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".

Yu Haitang froze in fright. She clearly remembered that she had closed the door just now, but now she felt helpless and her cheeks flushed red.

Zhang Lei turned around and saw that it was Chen Xueru who had entered. He was immediately embarrassed and quickly said, "Xueru, let me explain, this is a misunderstanding..."

Chen Xueru remained unusually calm, gently closing the door behind her, her tone indifferent: "It's alright, we're all family, no need to be nervous."

She stepped forward, her gaze falling on Yu Haitang, and smiled faintly: "I didn't expect you to have such a good figure, no wonder he likes you so much."

After saying that, Chen Xueru turned to look at Zhang Lei, with a hint of reproach: "Honey, I was wondering why I never had enough of the clothes I made. Turns out you're the one who uses them up so quickly."

Zhang Lei became increasingly embarrassed: "It really was just an accident, we haven't..."

Chen Xueru gently interrupted him, her smile warm yet resolute: "Don't I know what you're thinking? From the first moment I saw Yu Haitang, I knew she would be part of our family sooner or later."

Yu Haitang's face flushed, and she couldn't say a word.

Chen Xueru patted her shoulder, her tone calm yet earnest: "You've tried on the clothes, and your feelings are clear. From now on, just follow him closely and serve him well."

After saying that, Chen Xueru turned and walked out, turning back before leaving to say softly, "You guys continue, I won't disturb you."

The door closed gently, leaving only the still embarrassed Yu Haitang and the helpless yet relieved Zhang Lei in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Haitang and Zhang Lei slowly walked down the stairs.

Chen Xueru downstairs had already had food prepared. Seeing the two of them come down, she smiled gently and said, "You must be tired. Come and have something to eat."

Zhang Lei helped Yu Haitang sit down slowly, and Chen Xueru thoughtfully pushed a bowl of stewed chicken soup in front of her: "This was specially stewed for you, drink some to nourish your body."

Looking at the gentle Chen Xueru, Yu Haitang softly thanked her, "Thank you, sister."

Chen Xueru replied with a smile, "Sister Haitang, thank you for your hard work."

She turned to look at Zhang Lei, who was grinning foolishly to the side, and deliberately put on a stern face: "You can just eat the pickled vegetables."

Zhang Lei immediately made a face: "Honey, you're not really going to only let me eat pickled vegetables, are you?"

Chen Xueru glanced at him: "What else do you want to eat? Didn't you eat quite a lot upstairs?"

Zhang Lei quickly begged for mercy with a grin, "That's different, at least give me a steamed bun, wife."

Chen Xueru reluctantly handed him a large white steamed bun. Zhang Lei looked at it expectantly and asked, "Can I add some sliced ​​meat?"

"Take it yourself."

"Would you like some more lettuce?"

Chen Xueru was amused by him and let him do whatever he wanted.

Zhang Lei added slices of meat, lettuce, and some pickled vegetables to make a simple roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and took a big bite. After a few bites, he felt thirsty, so he ladled out a bowl of chicken soup. Just as he was about to drink it, he remembered Chen Xueru and immediately handed it to her first: "Xueru, you should have some too."

"Sit down and eat quickly," Chen Xueru said reproachfully, but a smile played on her lips.

Zhang Lei knew he was in the wrong, so he was very careful throughout the meal, constantly putting food on the two women's plates and trying to keep them happy. He knew that Chen Xueru wasn't blaming him, which was already exceptionally magnanimous.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhang Lei stretched.

Chen Xueru looked at him and slowly said, "Honey, I'm not blaming you, but you haven't told Yu Li yet, have you?"

Zhang Lei nodded.

"You two should talk to Yu Li about your own issues. I'm not going to take the blame for you."

Yu Haitang immediately stepped forward: "Sister Xueru, I will talk to my sister."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Zhang Lei: "I don't know what's so lucky about you. We're all following you, and you're still out there flirting with other women."

Zhang Lei quickly assured him, "I will definitely discuss this with you in advance next time, so it won't be so sudden again."

Chen Xueru said irritably, "Do you even believe what you're saying?"

Zhang Lei scratched his head awkwardly, then quickly hugged her and gently comforted her, "You're pregnant now, don't overthink it, don't be angry." After saying that, he gently kissed her on the cheek.
