Chapter 182 Has Mom Turned into a Little Lazy Bug?

**Chapter 182: Has Mom Turned into a Lazybones?**

After settling things with Qi Yunyang’s sister and brother-in-law, Su He crossed another worry off her list.

Indeed, having connections really pays off.

She owed it all to her husband, Dr. Fu—she’d have to treat him right later.

The renovations were coming along too, and Su He went to check on the progress—the bathroom was nearly finished.

Old Yu and his son had prioritized the bathroom before moving on to the shopfront.

Painting the walls and laying floor tiles outside would go quickly.

The bathroom was the holdup because Su He wanted a proper toilet installed, which took extra time.

Before she knew it, Saturday arrived.

Su He had been worn out from Fu Tinghua’s antics the night before, so she couldn’t drag herself out of bed.

Dr. Fu’s reasoning was that since the next day was a day off, why not let loose a little?

As an ex-overworked grunt, Su He actually found his logic convincing and agreed.

Now, looking back, she saw right through Fu Tinghua’s game—he used his pretty-boy charm against her.

Next time, she absolutely couldn’t just go along with whatever he said. She’d been spoiling him rotten.

By the time Su He woke up on Saturday, sunlight was pouring into the room.

She winced as she moved—every muscle ached.

If she ever believed Fu Tinghua’s words in bed again, she’d eat her hat.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Fu Tinghua walked in, locking eyes with Su He’s glare.

Dr. Fu couldn’t help but feel guilty—he’d really overdone it last night.

“Feeling okay?”

Sitting down by the bed, he gently brushed away a few strands of hair from Su He’s face.

Su He turned her face away and said, “You go back to the village by yourself today. I’m not going.”

Serves him right for wearing her out.

Sure enough, Fu Tinghua’s expression changed the moment he heard her words.

“I was wrong.”

He admitted fault first.

After a moment of thought, he added, “If you don’t want to go, then don’t. I got carried away last night.”

Su He found it odd that he didn’t insist on her going with him. Now that was weird.

“Really? I don’t have to go with you?” she asked again.

"Mmm, your health is the most important. I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in the future."

Fu Tinghua couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. He had always been a composed and self-restrained person.

But once he fell into the whirlwind of love, he always wanted to stay with Su He, to see her every day.

To—possess her.

He wasn’t a particularly lustful person by nature, yet he always lost control in bed.

Seeing Dr. Fu’s genuinely remorseful expression, Su He felt like she might have pushed the joke too far.

"I was just teasing you, why so serious?"

Su He placed her hand on Fu Tinghua’s face and gave it a soothing stroke.

Fu Tinghua grabbed her hand, pressing it against his cheek, and changed the subject. "Hungry?"

"I'm starving." She really was.

"Mm, what do you want to wear today? I’ll get it for you." Fu Tinghua made his way to the wardrobe.

"Something plain for the village."

Fu Tinghua glanced back at Su He, hesitating before saying, "You’re not feeling well. Maybe you should stay in the city."

Hearing this, Su He couldn’t help but snort with laughter.

"Dr. Fu, you're so easy to tease! I’m just a bit achy. I'll loosen up once I move around."

Seeing that Su He wasn’t joking, Fu Tinghua relaxed.

He selected some dark clothes from the wardrobe and returned to the bedside.

"Don’t joke about your health in the future. You'll worry me."

Under his earnest gaze, Su He felt a little guilty.

"Alright, I get it. But it's your fault for getting carried away last night," Su He muttered.

"I'm sorry. I'll go easier next time."

After saying this, Fu Tinghua pecked Su He’s lips and added, "Get dressed first. I'll wait for you downstairs."

By the time Su He finished getting ready and went downstairs, Zai Zai and Niu Niu were waiting excitedly in the living room.

"Mommy, Mommy!" Niu Niu ran toward Su He excitedly.

"What’s all the excitement about, sweetheart?" Su He couldn’t help but chuckle.

"We get to go play with Ya Ya and the others! Come on, Mommy!" Niu Niu urged impatiently.

They had been waiting all morning—Mommy was turning into a sleeping beauty, sleeping in later every day.

Su He: "..."

She threw a look at Fu Tinghua, who was watching her with amusement, then quickly reassured Niu Niu, "Just let Mommy brush her teeth, and then we can go."

As Su He headed to the kitchen to wash up, Fu Tinghua turned to Niu Niu and said, "Mommy just woke up and hasn’t eaten breakfast yet. You shouldn’t rush her like that. Do you want her to go hungry?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Niu immediately shook her head vigorously.

Fu Tinghua gently patted his daughter's head and reassured her, "Be a good girl and wait here a bit."

With that, he disappeared into the kitchen to find Su He.

Watching their father's back as he walked away, Zai Zai patted his younger sister and said, "Mom and Dad are really close now. We shouldn't disturb them too much."

Niu Niu didn't quite understand but said, "Ever since Mom stopped sleeping with us, she wakes up later and later each day. Now it's always Dad who wakes us up. Brother, do you think Mom has turned into a sleepyhead?"

Zai Zai: ...

This silly sister—he really couldn't explain things to her.

After Su He finished brushing her teeth, Fu Tinghua immediately handed her a damp towel to wipe her face.

"Alright, let's go. We shouldn't keep the kids waiting."

Once she was done washing up, Su He tried to rush out to the living room but was pulled back by Fu Tinghua.

"Have breakfast first. There's no need to hurry this much," Fu Tinghua said with concern.

Oh right, she had just said she was hungry.

"The countryside is definitely more fun. In the city, they can only play in our own yard," Su He sighed during breakfast.

"They'll adjust," Fu Tinghua knew Su He was worried about their two children.

After breakfast, the family of four headed out.

Chen Wan'er stood outside the car, watching Zai Zai and Niu Niu longingly.

How nice it must be to have both parents around.

Even though she didn't like her own father, soon it would just be her and her mom left.

She really envied Zai Zai and Niu Niu—her uncle and aunt were such great people.

"Bye, Auntie! Bye, Wan'er sister!" Niu Niu was bubbling with excitement about going back to the village.

And this time, Dad was driving their own car.

From now on, they'd have their own car to ride in—no more being jealous of Liangchuan's family for having one.
