Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 407: Xiaolu: I Am the Gift

"I... just wanted to give my husband a surprise, didn’t expect Sister Anniang to be here too." Yi Shiyin pressed her hand against her skirt hem, with a hint of panic and embarrassment in her eyes, and quickly let go, standing a bit straighter to pour tea for both of them.

Chen Mo placed his sister-in-law on Xiaolu’s bed, freed his hands, and took the tea Xiaolu handed over, drank it in one gulp, then casually placed it on the table next to him, reaching out to pull Xiaolu into his arms, ready for a big event.

Yi Shiyin wasn’t afraid to be seen by Chen Mo, after all, it was prepared especially for him, but now Han Anniang was here too. In a way, she was still an elder of Chen Mo’s, and if Han Anniang saw it, she would surely think she was an indiscreet woman.

She quickly took the initiative, grasping Chen Mo’s outstretched hands, slightly rose on her toes to kiss Chen Mo’s face, then said, "Husband, I... have my period."

She planned to muddle through tonight.

But lying on the bed with blankets, Han Anniang was stunned and said, "Xiaolu, didn’t your period just end a few days ago?"

Han Anniang and Yi Shiyin had a relatively good relationship; after all, when they were in Pingting County, they were alone together and had some understanding of each other’s cycles.

Being exposed, Yi Shiyin panicked even more, feeling extremely anxious and blurted out, "I... am tired, husband, I’ll serve you tomorrow."

Chen Mo frowned slightly, feeling that Xiaolu was acting a little strange tonight.

But since she said she was tired, Chen Mo naturally wouldn’t force it. His own woman, after all, you have to be considerate. He said, "It’s okay, just have a good rest tonight."

Chen Mo lowered his head and kissed Yi Shiyin’s forehead, then said, "By the way, Xiaolu, what is the gift you want to give me?"

"Yes, what is the surprise gift that you don’t even want me to know about?" Han Anniang asked curiously.

Seeing that she couldn’t muddle through this, Yi Shiyin was on the verge of tears in anxiety.

Chen Mo, seeing her not speaking, thought she had hidden it in the room and wanted to play a game with him.

So he glanced around the room, then started searching.

But after searching inside and out, even under the bed, he didn’t find anything resembling a gift, which made him, originally not particularly interested, extremely curious, "Xiaolu, what exactly did you prepare for me, bring it out for me to see."

Yi Shiyin clutched her skirt hem, her face seemed so red it could drip blood.

Han Anniang, seeing her like that, thought she was in trouble and quickly said, "Since it’s a gift prepared by Xiaolu especially for Erlang, I won’t look."

Saying this, she turned around, took a nearby blanket, and covered her head with it.

"Xiaolu, can you take it out now?" Chen Mo said.

Yi Shiyin bit her lip, took a deep breath, ’come what may,’ and gently removed the shell, whispering, "The gift... is me."

Chen Mo: "..."

"Husband... do you like it?"

"Not only do I like it, I absolutely love it." Chen Mo hugged Yi Shiyin off the ground and gave her two hard kisses on the cheek, whispering in her ear, "This is the best gift I’ve received."

Upon hearing this, Yi Shiyin sighed a long breath, tightly hugging Chen Mo’s neck, with tears flowing out.

As long as her husband liked it, everything was worth it.

"Xiaolu you..." Just then, an untimely voice sounded.

It turned out Han Anniang, seeing the room suddenly quiet down, couldn’t help removing the blanket and turned around to take a peek.

Originally, she just wanted to sneak a look.

But unexpectedly...

Yi Shiyin saw her cover blown, her eyes showing a look of wanting to cry without tears, helplessly covering up: "Sister Anniang, don’t look..."

"Don’t put it down, it’s painted beautifully, let me take a closer look." Han Anniang finally understood why Yi Shiyin showed a panicked look when she came over, apparently because of this.

She didn’t laugh at Yi Shiyin, instead praising it as nicely drawn.

"Really?" Yi Shiyin was stunned, the embarrassment in her eyes diminishing a bit.

"Of course, that’s a Ying Bird, right?" Han Anniang said.

"Uh-huh." Yi Shiyin nodded, then said, "If Sister Anniang likes it, I’ll have Xiaoling paint for you too."

Han Anniang: "..."

...

Just had two Tail-eyed Spirit Fishes for dinner and fish for a late-night snack.

But for Chen Mo to evaluate, the midnight snack fish was much more tender and delicious than the ones at dinner.

After leaving Yi Shiyin’s room, Chen Mo walked outside, waited for the scent on him to fade, and then slowly started heading to Xia Zhiyao’s room.

It was past midnight, the bright moon was absent, only the lanterns under the eaves shed dim and faint light.

In the room, Xia Zhi Ning looked at the oil lamp on the table, turned her head to glance at her sister who was making clothes in advance for the unborn child, covering her mouth as she yawned, "Sister, it’s midnight, you should sleep. You’re pregnant, can’t stay up late. That bastard should not come over, probably spending the night with another woman."

The words were full of jealousy and complaints.

Xia Zhiqing stopped her movements, saying, "That’s true, with Sister Wu Mi, Sister Xiaolu, and Sister Anniang ahead."

Saying this, she put down what she was holding, letting Xia Zhi Ning extinguish the lamp, preparing to sleep.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, soon the door knocked: "Zhiqing, have you slept?"

Xia Zhiqing delighted, just about to answer, Xia Zhi Ning preempted, "Asleep, go find them."

Saying this, she even moved to fasten the door shut.

Outside, Chen Mo heard Xia Zhi Ning’s words, couldn’t help but grin, pushed open the door, and walked straight in.

The deliberately slow Xia Zhi Ning watched Chen Mo walk in, immediately stepping forward to push him out: "Who let you in? Go out, my sister and I are going to sleep, don’t disturb our rest."
