Vice Captain Lu and his wife were unceremoniously kicked out by Captain He after trying to borrow a motorcycle. They faced considerable public embarrassment. Meanwhile, Captain He and Xinyan enjoyed a meal, with Xinyan complimenting his cooking, before He Jinxuan eagerly doted on her. Elsewhere, a wealthy man pushed his subordinates to find a woman skilled in acupuncture, while also preparing for a medical examination.

Xinyan stirred and found it was already mid-morning.

Recalling their late-night activities before finally sleeping, a blush crept onto her face, and she pulled the quilt up to hide it.

She found this newly awakened man quite difficult to resist, though she secretly enjoyed it.

As she replayed the sweet memories of the previous night, the door creaked open.

He Jinxuan approached the bedside, asking, "Yanyan, you’re awake?"

A little embarrassed, Xinyan feigned sleep and remained unresponsive.

He Jinxuan gently reached out and pulled the quilt down, remarking, "Hiding under there will make you uncomfortable."

Xinyan opened her eyes to find He Jinxuan gazing at her with affection. She playfully inquired, "What time is it?"

He Jinxuan leaned in and kissed her forehead. "It's eight-thirty, still early. Are you hungry?"

She hadn't considered her hunger until he mentioned it, and at that moment, her stomach audibly growled.

Xinyan's face flushed with embarrassment. He Jinxuan looked at her fondly and asked, "Do you want to eat in bed, or would you prefer to get up?"

Xinyan wrapped her arms around He Jinxuan's waist and replied, "Let's get up. What if someone visits later, and everyone in the family compound thinks I'm a lazy wife?"

He Jinxuan chuckled softly. "As long as I love you, who cares what anyone else thinks."

His words brought a wide smile to Xinyan's face, and she held him even tighter.

He Jinxuan whispered in her ear, "Were you too tired yesterday? Do you want me to give you a massage?"

Hearing this, Xinyan playfully spun him around 180 degrees. "I already told you I couldn't take anymore, yet you wouldn't stop. How dare you ask now?"

He Jinxuan embraced her, pulling her close. "It's just that my wife is too alluring; I couldn't help myself. I'll apply some ointment for you later."

When Xinyan heard him, she buried her face in his chest, finding his words too forward. She quickly declined, "No need."

Sensing her shyness, He Jinxuan leaned in to whisper something, but Xinyan promptly covered his mouth with her hand.

They held each other closely, and in what felt like a moment, it was already past nine o'clock.

Suddenly, a loud knocking at the door startled them both.

Xinyan quickly pushed him away, exclaiming, "Look at what you've done."

He Jinxuan responded indulgently, "Alright, alright, it’s my fault. I’ve chosen your clothes, so get dressed, and I’ll go open the door. No need to rush."

With that, he stood up and brought the selected clothes over.

Fortunately, it was summer, and Xinyan dressed quickly.

By the time she was dressed, He Jinxuan had already tidied the bed.

Seeing Xinyan was ready, he said, "Sit at the stone table and wait; I'll bring the bowls."

Xinyan shot him a look and gestured towards the door. "Aren't you going to open it?"

She then went directly into the washroom, thinking to herself, 'Who is being so indiscreet here?'

With that thought, she splashed some water on her face.

When she emerged, she heard He Jinxuan asking the visitor, "Were there any injuries?"

Sensing movement behind him, He Jinxuan turned around.

Xinyan noticed everyone had solemn expressions and asked, "What happened?"

Upon asking, she realized the visitor was Shen Shichang, the husband of the woman living across the way.

He Jinxuan drew her closer. "This is Brother Shen, Shen Shichang from across the courtyard."

Xinyan nodded to the visitor. "Hello, Brother Shen."

Shen Shichang also nodded at her. "Hello."

After witnessing the two finish their greetings, He Jinxuan finally explained, "Vice Captain Lu and his wife borrowed Zhai Songyuan's brother-in-law's motorcycle, and an accident occurred."

Xinyan reacted with disbelief. "What?"
