Chapter 155: The Belated Wedding Night - The Daily Gossip Life of the Sickly Young Lady in the Compound

Mother Li felt much more relaxed after chatting with Lin Qing!

"Man, I was about to lose it earlier, but after talking with you, I feel much better!" Mother Li said cheerfully.

"Don’t give me the credit!" Lin Qing shook her head. "When something’s bothering you, you shouldn’t just keep it to yourself. Talking it out with someone can really help!"

Mother Li thought for a moment and suddenly felt that what she said made sense. "You're right! It’s better not to keep things bottled up. Talking and chatting with others can prevent overthinking!"

"Hmm."

Lin Qing thought to herself that Mother Li had a tough job managing the compound!

With all the troublemakers in the compound stirring up daily drama, it's no wonder Mother Li felt distressed!

She was getting worked up again!

"I was hoping our compound could be a model this year, but with all these incidents happening one after another, I've had to give up on that idea!"

Lin Qing couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. Mother Li, are you sure? Are you sure this compound could be a model?

She thought they’d be lucky not to end up as a cautionary tale!

Lin Qing couldn’t even find a suitable excuse to brush it off and finally said stiffly, "Mother Li, that’s a bit of a stretch, don’t you think?" Not just a bit hard, okay? It's downright impossible!

Mother Li: "..." Can’t you at least try to comfort me?

Lin Qing gave her an innocent blink; she really couldn’t bring herself to say it!

Alright, Mother Li gave up!

Lin Qing and Mother Li talked for about ten minutes before Mother Li decided not to bother the young couple anymore and tactfully went home.

"Alright, let’s call it a day. We'll chat about other things when we have time!"

"Okay!" Lin Qing’s eyes sparkled; she knew Mother Li had a lot of gossip stored up!

Cen Xi returned to the bedroom from the kitchen only after Mother Li had left. "The water’s hot. Do you want to take a bath first?"

"Okay!" Lin Qing agreed happily but then remembered the gossip she had just heard from Mother Li. "Hold on, let me fill you in first, then I'll take a bath!"

"Alright! Go ahead!" Cen Xi could tell his wife was itching to share the gossip she had heard, so he usually wouldn’t refuse and just listened quietly.

After hearing the whole story, Cen Xi couldn’t stop twitching his mouth!

What can you even say about this mess?

The Su brothers seizing territory was wrong; the kids calling them nicknames was wrong; both sides fighting was wrong; the Su brothers pushing the kids into the manure pit was wrong...

In the end, it was the kids who got the short end of the stick, and it all started because the Su brothers seized the territory, so it's somewhat their own fault.

Lin Qing thought it over and felt that the Su kids deserved it no matter what.

Cen Xi thought so too.

After both had bathed, Lin Qing went to bed first.

"Brother Nan, you're back?"

"Mhm." Lin Qing looked at the man with joy, not noticing the depth in his eyes.

Cen Xi climbed into bed and hugged Lin Qing, "Qing Qing, you've finished your medicine!"

"Yeah!" Lin Qing nodded vigorously in his arms, feeling extremely excited!

"Do you remember what I told you earlier?"

"What?" Lin Qing was so thrilled about not needing medicine anymore that she’d forgotten what Cen Xi had said earlier.

"Since our Qing Qing is healthy now, shouldn’t we finally have our wedding night?" Cen Xi whispered in Lin Qing's ear.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qing’s ears turned bright red, and then her face and neck followed.

"You… you’re impossible!"

"Brother Nan…"

"What, did our Qing Qing forget?" Cen Xi teased.

After blushing, Lin Qing remembered what Cen Xi had said, and her face stayed red.

"No!" Lin Qing couldn’t admit she’d forgotten.

"That's good!"

With that, Cen Xi leaned in and kissed her.

"Mmm…"

Lin Qing tried to speak, but his kiss left her breathless.

"Qing Qing, anything else on your mind?" Cen Xi murmured.

Though Cen Xi’s tone was gentle, Lin Qing sensed a dangerous edge to it. She knew better than to bring up anyone else.

"No, nothing at all…"

"Good, let’s keep going."

Cen Xi leaned down again, silencing her with a kiss.

That night, Cen Xi finally got his long-awaited wedding night.

Cen Xi was incredibly attentive, and Lin Qing felt little discomfort. Seeing his restraint, she realized she’d been unfair to him before.

That night, Lin Qing transitioned from girlhood to womanhood.

Cen Xi was considerate in every way, not overdoing it. Since he had work the next day, he didn’t want Lin Qing exhausted, so they only made love once.

"Qing Qing, you awake?" Cen Xi asked as his wife blinked sleepily in his arms.

"Mhm."

"Are you feeling okay?"

"No." Lin Qing blushed, surprised he’d bring up last night so soon.

Cen Xi studied her, relieved she seemed fine, and got up to make breakfast.

"Alright! You rest a bit longer. I’ll go make breakfast, and you can eat when you get up!"

"Mm-hmm."

Before Cen Xi got up, he kissed Lin Qing’s eyes once more. The Lin Qing who had completed her transformation now had a subtle charm in her gaze that he couldn’t resist!

He wished he could keep such a sight all to himself!

Yet, Cen Xi also knew that Lin Qing was never just a woman who could stand behind him; she was a woman who aspired to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

As soon as Lin Qing stepped outside, she drew the attention of many.

Especially the more shrewd women, who noticed the flicker of allure in Lin Qing’s eyes and immediately knew that Lin Qing must have...

Though some were surprised that this young couple had only finally become intimate after a month, no one dared to ask directly—it was their private matter, and outsiders shouldn’t meddle too much!

A glint of realization flashed in the eyes of a few Mother Jiangs. They had long noticed that Lin Qing and Cen Xi hadn’t become intimate yet. But Lin Qing’s initial strong presence had kept them from speaking out. Now, seeing that the two had finally become intimate, it seemed the situation wasn’t what they had expected!
