Chapter 386: Chapter 388-389 What are you stripping for?_1
Qiao Duo’er was woken up by Tan Zhenghong’s burning gaze, which she found impossible to ignore.
"What hour is it?" Qiao Duo’er asked.
Wait, was that really her speaking just now? Her voice... really hers, only hoarse.
Tan Zhenghong shook his head: "I don’t know either, who cares about that. If you’re still sleepy, just keep sleeping. I’ll stay with you."
"Stop looking at me." Qiao Duo’er closed her eyes again.
Tan Zhenghong moved even closer: "I’ll look at mine, you sleep on yours."
Qiao Duo’er pulled the covers over herself tightly: "I’ll be fine after a little rest. Go heat some water for me. I want to take a bath."
Tan Zhenghong complied immediately, and Qiao Duo’er breathed a sigh of relief. Acting spoiled with him really was most effective.
Tan Zhenghong hurriedly went to heat the water, indeed he had gone too far last night.
By the time Tan Zhenghong had prepared the bathwater and saw Qiao Duo’er getting dressed, he cheekily said, "Why are you dressing? You’re about to take a bath anyways."
"To guard against a pervert peeping." Qiao Duo’er said annoyed.
Tan Zhenghong touched his nose: "Don’t soak for too long, be careful not to catch a cold. I’m going to cook breakfast."
Qiao Duo’er responded and then stood up with her shoes on, but she found her legs trembling.
Tan Zhenghong quickly stepped forward and carried Qiao Duo’er to the bathroom, not even out of breath throughout the process.
Qiao Duo’er didn’t understand. Tan Zhenghong had been busy all of last night, yet today he was as lively as a dragon. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
As for her... she was so tired that she didn’t even want to move a finger.
Could it be that Tan Zhenghong’s body was extraordinary? Anyway, she was filled with envy and jealousy.
Only after Qiao Duo’er sat down in the bathtub did Tan Zhenghong feel at ease to go and cook breakfast.
In his mind, he was already thinking that he had to get his wife to exercise more in the future; otherwise, it would be very frustrating to always end things forcefully.
To be honest, he had thought about going until dawn last night, but he hadn’t expected her to fall asleep so quickly.
It was a good thing he had waited until their new house was built before thoroughly enjoying his wife. Otherwise, last night would have ended even earlier.
The leftover dishes from last night had been given to those who helped, but the kitchen was stocked with fresh vegetables, and meat hanging in the well, which should be enough for them to eat for two or three days.
This... must have been Aunt Huang, worried they’d be too tired, who had deliberately left it at their house.
How could she be so understanding?
Tan Zhenghong efficiently cooked breakfast: mushroom and chicken porridge, as well as scrambled eggs with Chinese chives.
After breakfast, Qiao Duo’er began to catch up on sleep, waking up only in the afternoon.
Walking around the yard, Qiao Duo’er saw Tan Zhenghong tidying up the vegetable garden. She also went over to help. With seven or eight mu of homestead land, they had to make full use of it.
"Wife, go and rest, leave this to me."
Qiao Duo’er shook her head: "I’ve almost slept for a day. If I don’t move around, I’ll turn into a pig."
"What’s wrong with that? I want to fatten you up, white and plump."
Tan Zhenghong glanced at his wife, who was already squatting down to pull weeds, evidently having no intention of going home.
Didn’t this mean he could carry on with his "work" tonight?
Now he worked with even more vigor, aiming to finish early so they could have dinner, bathe, and then head to bed.
After dinner, Qiao Duo’er dawdled in the bathroom.
She remembered that right before she entered, Tan Zhenghong gave her a meaningful glance, his eyes seemingly shining with a predatory gleam.
She had seen wolves in the wilderness that looked just like that; the difference was wolves were after meat, while what Tan Zhenghong wanted was her.
If she allowed him to succeed tonight, she’d surely sleep away another day.
Woo, she suddenly missed the abstentious Tan Zhenghong of the past.
She regretted running around the world looking for Star-of-Bethlehem, not realizing it would end up torturing herself.
As Qiao Duo’er’s mind was racing with thoughts, the bathroom door was pushed open, and a naked Tan Zhenghong came in.
Qiao Duo’er quickly averted her eyes and protectively covered her chest with both hands, afraid that if Tan Zhenghong saw anything he shouldn’t, his animal instincts would take over.
"Why are you undressed?" Qiao Duo’er chided.
"You wouldn’t come out, so I thought you were waiting for me to join you for a bath," Tan Zhenghong said, blinking innocently.
Then, with a step of his long leg, he was already seated opposite Qiao Duo’er.
