Chapter 173: Marital Intimacy - A Sickly Sister-in-law's Daily Life in the Compound

After Su Shengnan stopped bothering her, Lin Qing's life went back to normal.

Another Friday evening.

"How about we head to my parents' place tomorrow afternoon?"

"Sure! We’ve got some meat and milk powder coupons left at home. Let’s buy some to bring back!" Lin Qing checked the coupons she had and replied.

"Alright!" Cen Xi usually went along with her decisions.

"You’re so sweet!" Lin Qing put down the coupons and leaned into his arms.

Cen Xi had already opened his arms when she moved closer, and he held her tightly the moment she came into his embrace.

"Since I’m so good, shouldn’t you repay me?" Cen Xi’s eyes sparkled with mischief.

"What do you want in return?" Lin Qing looked up at him, her gaze lingering on his neck and the clear line of his jaw. She watched his Adam’s apple bob as he spoke.

"Promise you’ll do whatever I ask?" Cen Xi’s words seemed to carry a certain charm.

"Mmm." Lin Qing felt captivated by the moment.

When Cen Xi glanced down, he happened to see her entranced expression. Hmm, his wife seemed into it!

"Tonight, let's..."

Lin Qing blushed furiously after hearing him. "You’re impossible!"

She gave his chest a playful swat, but to him, the force was nothing. It only stirred him up more.

Cen Xi held her even tighter, and Lin Qing could feel the heat radiating from his body.

Lin Qing’s throat felt dry, and she pushed him slightly. "It’s getting warm in here!"

"So, are you in or not? Didn’t you say you wanted to repay me?" Cen Xi pressed on.

"You’re such a handful!" Lin Qing pouted.

"No take-backs!"

"Ah!" Cen Xi scooped Lin Qing up effortlessly. "Mmm~"

Lin Qing wanted to speak, but her mouth was already sealed.

Lin Qing eventually gave in. She and Cen Xi tried a new position, and whether it was due to the stimulation of the new position, Cen Xi was particularly excited and passionate that night. Their antics went on longer than usual.

"I said no more!" Lin Qing, in her daze, waved away Cen Xi’s hand as he tried to wipe her face, mumbling in a hoarse voice.

"Alright, alright! No more, no more!" After finishing, Cen Xi cleaned Lin Qing and then held her as they fell asleep.

But not long after, Lin Qing felt too hot. Without even opening her eyes, she tried to push away the furnace beside her. Of course, Cen Xi wasn’t willing to let go of the soft and fragrant person in his arms, so he held her even tighter.

In her dream, Lin Qing mumbled softly, "It’s so hot!"

The next day, Cen Xi woke up refreshed and energetic, while Lin Qing woke up early, feeling drained from the heat.

Lin Qing got out of bed and had just taken two steps when she almost lost her balance and had to sit back down on the bed.

"It's all your fault!" Lin Qing pouted at Cen Xi, blaming him.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, all my fault!" Cen Xi sheepishly rubbed his nose. He had been controlling himself well before, but last night he got a bit too excited and ended up going a couple more times.

"Why are you the one putting in all the effort, but I'm the one who's exhausted?"

Cen Xi didn't know either, but it didn't stop him from comforting his wife, "You've worked hard! Let me take care of you!"

"Humph!" Lin Qing snorted in annoyance.

Cen Xi was true to his word; he took care of her just as he promised!

That morning, Lin Qing didn't leave the bedroom before going to work. Cen Xi brought a basin of water to serve her for washing up, and breakfast was brought to the bedroom, with Cen Xi personally feeding her.

After all that, Lin Qing felt much more comfortable and finally stopped looking upset, which also put Cen Xi at ease.

Lin Qing took a while to adjust in the room, so she kept her composure once she left the house. Although she still felt a bit uncomfortable after walking a distance, at least she could ride a bicycle after leaving the yard.

Cen Xi had made a few adjustments to the family bicycle, adding a soft cushion to the back seat with lots of cotton and fabric scraps, making it much more comfortable for Lin Qing to sit on.

After getting on the bicycle, Lin Qing pinched Cen Xi's side again, "It's all your fault! Humph!"

Cen Xi didn't even frown, his smile still bright. Well, there's no helping it; he had to put up with his wife's whims, it was indeed a sweet burden!

When they arrived at the factory, Lin Qing still walked a little awkwardly. Cen Xi wanted to support her, but Lin Qing pushed him away.

"Humph! Let go!" Lin Qing looked around at the coworkers coming to work and absolutely refused to let him support her.

Wasn't this making it obvious something was up?

Cen Xi knew her thoughts, but he still felt bad, "It's nothing!"

After some back and forth, they inevitably bumped into an acquaintance, "Cen Gong, what's the matter?"

Lin Qing's ears turned red immediately, too embarrassed to know what to say, she just looked down.

Cen Xi, however, explained generously, "It's nothing, my wife accidentally sprained her foot this morning, it's no big deal!"

"Oh, oh!" No wonder he needed to support her!

Lin Qing didn't expect him to explain it that way, she glanced at him, but at least it helped ease her embarrassment, and the blush on her face gradually faded!

With Cen Xi's explanation, their behavior seemed much more normal, after all, married couples didn't have so many taboos, and others wouldn't gossip, so Lin Qing didn't resist anymore!

"Qing Qing, are you okay?" Wang Jiaojiao asked as soon as she arrived at the office.

"Huh? Why do you ask?"

"Didn't you sprain your foot? How is it? Are you okay?"

"Uh..." Lin Qing suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Well, I didn't sprain my foot! Where did you hear that?"

"Ah? I heard a lot of people talking about how good the relationship between you and Cen Gong is on my way here! You sprained your foot and Cen Gong supported you all the way to the office!" Wang Jiaojiao directly repeated what she had heard on her way.

Lin Qing's face turned bright red with embarrassment!

"I really didn't sprain my foot!"

"Oh! Then why were you being helped over here?"

"..." Lin Qing tightly closed her mouth.

Finally, looking at Wang Jiaojiao's bright, curious eyes, she stammered, "It's nothing, really!"

Tang Xihua, who was beside Lin Qing, teased, "Oh! Just stop asking! You'll get it once you're married! Don't ask so much now!"

Lin Qing’s face turned beet red at this point!

"Why do I have to wait until I'm married to know?" Wang Jiaojiao kept pushing!

"Ah, I told you not to ask, just think of it as their couple's private matters!" Tang Xihua said, laughing herself.

Wang Jiaojiao looked a bit embarrassed!

"Hahahaha!" All the married women in the room burst out laughing.

Lin Qing wished she could just disappear!
