31: Chapter 31 Yingxue Can't Sleep, Sweet Daily Life

Su Yingxue carefully placed the tablet back into the hidden compartment.

She turned off the lights and lay down.

But when she closed her eyes, those images still flooded her mind.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.

A strange longing welled up from deep within her body, making her recall Lin Yun's warm embrace, his strong arms, and those lingering, passionate nights...

"Husband..."

Su Yingxue whispered, her hand instinctively caressing her lower abdomen.

"Baby, your father is with your new mother right now..."

She suddenly felt a twinge of regret.

Should she have "snatched" Lin Yun away tonight?

After all, she was the first wife, and she was pregnant...

But this thought only flashed through her mind for a moment.

Soon, she shook her head and whispered to herself:

"No, no, today is Sister Youqing's big day, I cannot be so selfish..."

Su Yingxue turned over and hugged her pillow tightly, trying to use sleep to dispel the longing in her heart.

However, the heat in her body became increasingly obvious, causing her to toss and turn, unable to sleep.

Moonlight spilled in through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating her restless sleeping posture.

Su Yingxue curled into a ball for a moment, then stretched out her legs, buried her face in the pillow, and then lay flat on her back...

Eventually, she couldn't help but sit up.

"Forget it, if I can't sleep, I won't sleep."

She muttered, turning on the light to take out the tablet again and opening the playback function.

However, this time, she didn't watch the content from the bridal chamber; instead, she pulled up some "private videos" of herself and Lin Yun.

These were recordings she had made using the same method, memories belonging only to the two of them.

On the screen, Lin Yun was gently holding her, whispering sweet nothings into her ear.

It was a night not long ago; the moonlight was beautiful, and the atmosphere was perfect...

As Su Yingxue watched, her cheeks flushed red again.

But this time, her eyes were filled with sweetness and happiness.

"Husband..."

She murmured softly, her fingers gently touching Lin Yun's face on the screen.

"I love you so much..."

The night deepened, and everything was silent.

The lights in both rooms had been on until late at night, but they were extinguished at different times.

The lights in the bridal chamber went out late at night, while the lights in Su Yingxue's room did not go out until the sky began to turn white at dawn.

This night, there were two brides.

One welcomed a new beginning in the bridal chamber.

One guarded the continuation of love amidst memories and expectations.

Far away at the other end of the manor, Wen Yan stood by the window, watching the two lights that had gone out one after another, an indescribable emotion welling up in her heart.

"This kid... he's still so full of energy."

She whispered to herself, the corners of her mouth curling up involuntarily.

Early morning.

Lin Yun felt an itch on his face, as if something soft was gently touching it.

He opened his eyes groggily, and what came into view was Shen Youqing's gentle smiling face.

She was lying on her side beside him, one hand propping up her head, while the fingers of her other hand were gently tracing the contours of his eyebrows and eyes.

Morning light spilled in through the gaps in the curtains, and her long hair was scattered across the pillow, giving her an indescribable, languid beauty.

"Are you awake?"

Shen Youqing asked softly, her eyes filled with the shyness and sweetness unique to a newlywed woman.

Lin Yun blinked, not yet fully awake.

He reached out and caught her mischievous fingers, holding them in his palm:

"Is my wife being naughty so early in the morning?"

Shen Youqing blushed and wanted to pull her hand back, but Lin Yun held it tightly.

She simply leaned in, nestling into his arms:

"Did Husband sleep well?"

"With my wife by my side, of course I slept well."

Lin Yun lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.

The two of them lay on the bed like this, chatting idly.

Lin Yun shared some funny stories from his childhood, and Shen Youqing shared some interesting anecdotes from when she was a teacher.

The sunlight slowly crawled across the room, bathing everything in warmth.

"It's time to get up."

Lin Yun said, checking the time.

"We still need to go pay our respects to Grandfather Lin Zhentian."

"Mm."

Shen Youqing responded but made no move to get up.

Lin Yun smiled and tapped her nose:

"What's wrong, you don't want to get up?"

Shen Youqing acted like a spoiled child for once, snuggling further into his arms:

"I just want to lie down for a little while longer..."

After they cuddled for a while longer, Lin Yun finally carried Shen Youqing to the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of water and low laughter came from the bathroom, and one could vaguely hear Shen Youqing's shy exclamations and Lin Yun's gentle soothing.

Half an hour later, the two of them walked out of the bathroom.

To Lin Yun's surprise, Su Yingxue was already waiting in the room.

"Yingxue? Why are you here?"

Lin Yun asked, somewhat surprised.

Su Yingxue was standing by the bed tidying the bedding; hearing his voice, she turned back with a playful smile on her face:

"I came to see if Husband and Sister Youqing were awake yet~ It seems I came at just the right time?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the two of them.

Shen Youqing had just finished bathing, her cheeks still flushed, her hair draped wetly over her shoulders, and she radiated the fresh scent of a bath.

Lin Yun, on the other hand, looked refreshed and clearly had rested well.

"Yingxue..."

Shen Youqing said, feeling a bit embarrassed,

"Why are you tidying the room yourself?"

"It was just a small task,"

Su Yingxue said with a smile,

"And I figured you two would definitely wake up late today, so I told the maids not to come in and disturb you yet."

She pointed to the refreshed bed:

"Look, I've already tidied it up, and I even changed the sheets."

Only then did Lin Yun notice that the messy bed from last night had become neat and tidy.

His heart warmed, and he walked over to wrap his arm around Su Yingxue's waist:

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife."

"It's no trouble~"

Su Yingxue said with a giggle,

"As long as Husband and Sister Youqing are happy, that's all that matters."

Shen Youqing also walked over and took Su Yingxue's hand:

"Yingxue, thank you..."

"Oh, we are all family now, why the thanks!"

Su Yingxue held her hand back.

"Let's go, Grandfather Lin Zhentian is already waiting in the dining room, let's not keep him waiting too long."

The three of them walked out of the room together.

In the hallway, the maids bowed respectfully when they saw the newlyweds and the Young Mistress coming out together.

In the dining room, Grandfather Lin Zhentian was indeed already waiting.

Seeing the three of them enter, the old man smiled until his eyes crinkled into slits:

"They're here, they're here, sit down, sit down!"

"Good morning, Grandfather."

The three greeted him in unison.

"What kind of morning is this? It's almost nine o'clock!"

Grandfather Lin Zhentian joked, but his tone was full of doting affection.

"But it's a wedding, so it's understandable, understandable. Come, let's eat, you must all be hungry, right?"

The breakfast was sumptuous, but it was filled with even more warmth.

Grandfather Lin Zhentian kept putting food on Shen Youqing's plate, muttering:

"Eat more, eat more, look at how thin you are. We are all family now, please don't be polite."

Shen Youqing nodded, touched:

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Su Yingxue would occasionally wink at Lin Yun, signaling him to take better care of Shen Youqing.

Lin Yun understood and carefully moved the dishes Shen Youqing liked in front of her, and even served her soup himself.

The breakfast was a happy and harmonious affair.

Grandfather Lin Zhentian watched this harmonious scene, filled with deep emotion.
