Chapter 437: Seventies: The Mature Husband 37

Afterward, Tang Wan returned to Li Cheng's house and began packing her things.

Sister Juan was very reluctant to see her go, but Tang Wan had already made up her mind, so there was nothing she could do to stop her.

Before leaving, Tang Wan gave some snacks to Sister Juan's children. Seeing her face light up with a smile, Sister Juan eagerly lent a hand and helped her move her belongings.

Fortunately, Tang Wan didn't have many things. Once her bedding and washbasin were moved, there wasn't much left.

After arriving at the Xue family home, Xue Xingtong eagerly took her to the room he had prepared for her.

As soon as Tang Wan entered, she saw a wooden table covered with a layer of brand-new white tablecloth. A bouquet of roses had been placed in a chipped vase on top of it.

She immediately looked at Xue Xingtong in delight. “Tongtong! Are these for me?”

Seeing how much she liked them, Xue Xingtong felt relieved. Then, somewhat embarrassed, he nodded. “Mm.”

……

“I really like them. Thank you!” Tang Wan immediately said.

“It's good that you like them.”

Then he said to Tang Wan, “Sit and rest for a while. I'll make your bed.”

“Mm!” Tang Wan nodded and picked up a rose to smell it.

After all, at a time like this, very few men knew to buy roses for women. Yet Tongtong actually knew to give her flowers!

It seemed that this rough-and-tumble man actually had quite a romantic side to him!

Soon, Xue Xingtong efficiently made Tang Wan's bed.

Then he cleared his throat and, with his ears turning red, took the medicine from his pocket and handed it to her. “This… this is medicine I bought this morning. It can prevent you from getting pregnant.”

Hearing this, Tang Wan froze for a moment.

This guy had even thought of this?

For a moment, Tang Wan couldn't help twitching the corner of her mouth.

But then she accepted the medicine and nodded slightly. “Mm! You really thought this through.”

She knew that he was worried that if she became pregnant, it would be bad for her reputation.

……

After Tang Wan accepted the medicine, Xue Xingtong pursed his lips, poured her a cup of hot water, and handed it to her.

“Wanwan, I promise this will be the first time and the last time.”

“I believe you.” Tang Wan smiled and nodded before swallowing the white pill.

After she finished taking the medicine, Xue Xingtong said seriously, “We'll have meat tonight. You need some nourishment.”

“Pfft!” Tang Wan couldn't help laughing.

This guy—she wasn't sick!

But by evening, when she smelled the rich aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen, Tang Wan still couldn't help saying, “It smells so good!”

In an era when supplies were so scarce, being able to eat a meal with meat really was an especially happy thing.

……

After dinner, the dragon-and-phoenix twins took their baths, and Xue Xingtong sent them off to bed.

Then he himself carried a bucket of hot water into Tang Wan's room.

But once he entered, he was reluctant to leave.

Seeing this, Tang Wan couldn't help saying, “Tongtong, if you don't go out, how am I supposed to bathe?”

Xue Xingtong looked at her with burning eyes, then said, “I'll go out now. Take your time.”

Then he slowly shuffled out of the doorway and stood beneath her window.

Tang Wan: …

Heh!

Men!

After sleeping together once, he'd finally revealed his secretly lecherous nature, huh?

Still, she really had to admire how fiercely he'd managed to restrain himself before!

If she hadn't made that big move, who knew? He might still be holding himself back now.

……

After bathing, Tang Wan changed into her pajamas.

She had just opened the door to pour out the water when she discovered that the Xue family's courtyard had become pitch-black, while Xue Xingtong was standing right outside her door.

“Tongtong, you…”

Xue Xingtong took the basin from her hands and poured out the water. He set it against the wall, then immediately slipped inside, kicking the door shut with his right foot and twisting the latch with his left hand.

Then he looked at Tang Wan with burning eyes, bent down, and lifted her up with her legs parted around him.
