Chapter 20 Late-Night Heart-to-Heart Talk, Wife's Unexpected Wall Slam
Zhao Tai's provocative display, resembling a peacock spreading its tail, ultimately turned into an embarrassing farce thanks to Lin Zhou's teasing remark about "lighting a match." After the live stream ended, Zhao Tai, his face dark with anger, checked into the village's only guesthouse, vowing to get his revenge in tomorrow's segment.
As night deepened, Peach Blossom Village returned to tranquility.
The lights were dim under the grape trellis.
Once the last staff member left the courtyard, the indicator light on the camera, which had been glowing red all day, finally went out.
Lin Zhou let out a long sigh of relief, then slumped unceremoniously onto the bamboo recliner, fanning himself with a large palm-leaf fan, feeling as if his bones were about to fall apart.
"Living off a woman is more tiring than carrying bricks."
He was just about to close his eyes and rest for a while when a shadow suddenly fell in front of him.
That familiar scent, with its faint, cool fragrance, instantly filled his nostrils. Lin Zhou squinted one eye and saw Su Qingge standing in front of him, arms crossed, looking down at him with a condescending gaze.
Under the moonlight, she changed into a long silk dress, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her bare face, even without makeup, was still breathtakingly beautiful, but her gaze at this moment was a little too sharp.
"Honey, are you captivated by my charm and want a late-night rendezvous, staying up so late?"
Lin Zhou teased with a grin.
Su Qingge ignored his banter, only slightly narrowing her beautiful phoenix eyes as she took a step closer.
"Lin Zhou, don't you think you need to explain yourself?"
"Explain what? Explain why I'm so handsome?"
"Don't give me that frisky smile!"
Su Qingge suddenly reached out, grabbed Lin Zhou by the collar, and forcefully pulled him up from the recliner, then shoved him backward.
"Thump!"
A muffled thud.
Lin Zhou's back slammed solidly against the rough wooden post of the grape trellis.
Before he could react, a slender, fair hand slammed heavily against the wooden post beside his ear, bringing with it a fragrant breeze.
Wall bang!
I still got pinned against the wall by my wife!
Lin Zhou was completely stunned.
The distance between them instantly shrank to less than five centimeters. He could even clearly count Su Qingge's long eyelashes and feel her warm breath spraying on his chin.
This experience of being completely overwhelmed by the queen's aura made Lin Zhou's heart skip a beat.
"Su Qingge, are you... trying to rape me?" His Adam's apple bobbed, and he instinctively tried to lean back, but found there was nowhere to retreat.
"Rob someone's virtue? You dare to challenge me?"
Su Qingge sneered, her stunningly beautiful face drawing closer, her eyes sharp as knives, as if trying to see through Lin Zhou's eyes to his very soul.
"Cooking, fixing houses, giving massages, and even that terrifying physical strength... Lin Zhou, we've been married for seven years, how come I never knew you had these abilities?"
"You used to burn your hands if I asked you to pour a glass of water, and you said you were afraid of heights if I asked you to change a light bulb. But now? You can not only turn wild vegetables into a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, but you can also carry me through mud with ease?"
Su Qingge felt increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, her eyes reddening slightly, and her voice trembling slightly:
"Have you been acting all along? For the past seven years, you've pretended to be useless and incompetent, watching me struggle and work myself to the bone, watching people mock me for marrying a gigolo. Did you find that amusing? Did you feel particularly smug watching me worry about you like a fool?"
These were the words she had been holding back all day.
From the "Hell's Kitchen" in the morning to the "God-level Massage" at night, every skill Lin Zhou displayed was a harsh blow to her understanding of the past seven years.
If he's really that capable, why would he comfortably live off a woman?
Unless, he did it on purpose.
Faced with Su Qingge's eyes, which seemed like those of a wounded little animal, Lin Zhou's playful smile gradually faded.
This is indeed an inexplicable bug.
You can't exactly say, "Your husband has been possessed by a ghost, and now I'm a cheater," can you?
"Um... honey, let me explain... no, I mean, I want to explain."
Lin Zhou's mind raced, trying to come up with a plausible excuse. "Actually, although I've been at home for the past seven years, I haven't been idle. I've signed up for online classes: New Oriental chef, Lanxiang excavator operator, and even massage..."
"Keep making things up, keep making things up."
Su Qingge clearly didn't believe a single punctuation mark. She leaned forward even further, her full red lips almost touching Lin Zhou's mouth, "Did Lanxiang teach you how to carry a suitcase with one hand?"
The two were now in an extremely ambiguous position.
Under the grape trellis, the moonlight was dappled.
Lin Zhou looked at the red lips so close to his face and smelled the intoxicating fragrance emanating from her body. The string of "reason" in his mind almost snapped.
"Honey, if you get any closer, I can't guarantee your safety."
Lin Zhou's voice suddenly became a little hoarse, and his eyes became deep.
Su Qingge was stunned, only then realizing how dangerous their position was.
Just as she was about to step back, Lin Zhou's phone, which was placed beside him, suddenly started vibrating wildly, breaking the romantic yet tense atmosphere.
"Buzzing—"
The screen lit up in the dim light, and the glaring nickname flickered like a ghost:
**My Favorite Yuwei**
The air froze instantly.
The temperature seemed to drop to freezing point in that instant.
Su Qingge's initially flustered and shy gaze turned completely cold the moment she saw that name, as if a thick layer of frost had formed over it.
"My dearest... Yuwei?"
She slowly uttered those five words, each one seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying a chilling aura.
Lin Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.
That damned white moonlight, why did it have to come at this time of year to deliver himself to the enemy?!
"No, honey, let me explain. This nickname was saved a while ago, and I forgot to change it..."
Lin Zhou frantically tried to grab his phone, but Su Qingge stopped him first.
"Don't move."
Su Qingge stared intently at the screen, a chillingly dangerous smirk playing on her lips. That smile lacked her usual aloofness; instead, it radiated a terrifying madness and ruthlessness.
"What? Feeling guilty? Or are you afraid I'll hear your sweet talk?"
"I……"
"Lin Zhou, weren't you quite the talker just now?"
Su Qingge's finger hovered above the answer button, her eyes coldly fixed on Lin Zhou, as if she were looking at a dead man.
"Since she misses you so much, even calling in the middle of the night to check on you, wouldn't it be incredibly rude of me not to let you two be together?"
After saying that, she didn't give Lin Zhou any chance to react and pressed the speakerphone button heavily with her slender fingers.
"beep--"
The call was connected.
Su Qingge held her phone between the two of them, slightly raised her chin, and mouthed to Lin Zhou in a silent manner:
"Go ahead. Let me hear what kind of mischief she's up to this time."
