This stepmother is a bit crazy

From the first time he saw her, he had been trying his best to be patient and controlled, fearing that his hidden wolf nature would scare her.

Unexpectedly, it eventually got out of control.

Fortunately, having tasted the sweetness, he knew to brake in time and didn't eat her up, although he really wanted to.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth the loss if she were asked to go back to where she was.

Jiang Linran returned to the bedroom, closed the door, and hurried into the bathroom.

He held the sink with both hands, his heart beating loudly.

The familiar yet unfamiliar version of myself in the mirror was blushing as if she was drunk, and her body temperature was as hot as the heat in Africa.

Take a long sigh.

I'm not immune to him yet, but...

Thinking about those troublesome things, the surging blood in the body cooled down, and the mood became very irritable.

Turn on the faucet and apply cold water on your face.

After you've cooled down, take a quick cold shower.

Put on your home clothes, tie your hair into a bun, and go downstairs barefoot.

The luggage was still by the door, but the person was nowhere to be seen.

Weirdly holding on to the handrail and coming down.

"Xiaoran, come here."

Zhou Zekai came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a steaming bowl and walked to the dining table.

Smelling the fragrance, Jiang Linran, who had planned to take a rest if he wasn't there, suddenly felt his stomach growl at the right moment.

She was so embarrassed that she was about to say that she wasn't hungry, but swallowed it back.

The figure in front of her eyes flashed, and Zhou Zekai had come over to pick her up.

"let me go."

His heart jumped suddenly and reached his throat. Jiang Linran, who didn't know what he meant, beat him.

"Why not wear slippers?"

He looked at Jiang Linran's white feet dangling in front of his eyes.

Zhou Zekai wanted to hit her twice. He studied medicine himself, so he didn't know that girls can't catch cold?
  After taking a shower, in order to cool down, I stepped on the floor with my bare feet.

"I like it, what does it have to do with you?" Jiang Linran felt relieved after hearing this.

Zhou Zekai put Jiang Linran on the chair, walked to the shoe cabinet, opened it, brought her another pair of slippers, squatted in front of her, and put them on for her.

Jiang Linran's face felt hot again, and he screamed like a mosquito in a low voice.

"Once or twice, it's okay."

"Really just occasionally?"

He didn't know that she had this problem when she was in the camp. She liked to go barefoot after taking a bath.

Jiang Linran happened to think of this and bit his lip and stopped talking.

Zhou Zekai stood up and sat down next to her.

"Eat quickly or it will become lumpy."

He looked at the bowl, which was bigger than his face, filled with soup and noodles.

With a grimace on her face, she couldn't eat anything when she drank, even if she felt hungry.

"It's too much, I can't eat so much."

Zhou Zekai got up and went into the kitchen and came out with a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Remove half of it.

"The rest must be eaten. After drinking, it will be bad for your stomach if you don't eat something."

"I"

Jiang Linran, who wanted to say that he really couldn't eat it, found that he would compromise as long as he had Zhou Zekai's eyes.

After finishing the soup and noodles, I burped loudly.

It's okay now, no need to sleep anymore.

Although the stomach is full after eating, it also makes people energetic.

Zhou Zekai washed the dishes, tidied up the kitchen and came out.

"You rarely cook, do you?"

"Well, I usually do it when Niuniu comes back on weekends. By the way, Mrs. Qian now works as a cleaner in the company from Monday to Friday, and lives in the company dormitory. She only comes over for two days on weekends." Zhou Zekai sat down opposite her .

Just looking at her like this, even listening to her talking about homely things, made me feel extremely happy.

"Xiaoran, me"

"and many more."

Jiang Linran, who probably knew what Zhou Zekai would say, interrupted him.

Take a deep breath, sit up straight, pick up the pillow beside you, and hug it with your legs crossed.

"I know what you mean, I...I don't know how to say it, anyway, I don't plan to change my current lifestyle at the moment, I"

Jiang Linran, who interrupted Zhou Zekai, mustered up all his strength to speak out his thoughts in one breath.

"Well, I know, just do what you want to do. I'll come over to see you when I have time. I'm sorry, I can only stay in the capital and can't help you.

Xiaoran, don't be burdened. I don't want you to change your current life for me. Just live your life the way you like and feel comfortable. "

"But" Jiang Linran opened her mouth, but that was not what she wanted to say.

Seeing her frowning as she hesitated to speak, Zhou Zekai, who probably guessed what she really meant, pretended not to know.

Zhou Zekai, who didn't want to give her a chance to explain, walked to sit next to her, grabbed her hand sideways, and held it in his generous and warm palm.

"It's nothing, Xiao Ran, two people together don't have to stay together every day. Isn't it more meaningful for us to do our own things in our respective positions?

And, I know everything you did for them. "

He knew how many companies on both sides, as well as Yan Bingyang and others, had solved the problem of reemployment and reemployment of soldiers and personnel.

Jiang Linran thought for a moment. She knew her feelings for him very well. Even though they were suppressed because of those things in the past, they never disappeared.

"Let me think about it, okay?"

Now that Zhou Zekai said so, she was no longer being pretentious.

"Okay, I'll give you one night."

"What? One night, no, a week."

"Two hours."

"Six days."

······
  "One minute."

Jiang Linran snorted: "You might as well say it now."

"I think so." Zhou Zekai raised his hand and scraped off Jiang Linran's nose.

Jiang Linran was startled.

Pull out the hand that he held.

Suddenly sighing, his mood dropped, he lowered his chin and looked at the coffee table in front of him.

"actually, I,"

Jiang Linran organized his words and leaned back on the back of the sofa.

She turned her head, looked at him with a deep and complicated look, and then looked away.

His hands kept tugging at the pillowcase.

His voice was low and he spoke calmly.

"Actually, besides the fact that I don't want to change my current lifestyle, another reason is that I don't want to deal with anyone in your family except you.

Whether it is now or in the future.

I don’t want to see your mother, or even mention it.

I also don’t want to have a necessary connection with her because of the child in the future. I don’t want to embarrass myself, and I don’t want to see you in trouble. Can you understand? I can't repay kindness with kindness. I'm not a saint, and I don't have such a big mind. And just thinking about my child having to call her grandma one day makes me extremely uncomfortable. "

Jiang Linran finally shook off the heaviest burden in his heart.

This is the real her.

Zhou Zekai stretched out his arm, passed her shoulders, put her in his arms, and let her lean against him.

He knew that this was the real reason for her hesitation.

Thinking about what she had gone through, it would have been a problem if someone else could have endured it, let alone stood up as strong as she did.

Although she was a little different from people of this era and had broader knowledge, she was only eighteen years old and still a little girl when she came through.

These pressing things were like cancerous tumors in her and his hearts.
