"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts~~~"
"Mom, I was wrong. Hurry up and let go!"
"......"
Under Tang Chuan's repeated pleas for mercy, Xu Shuyun finally snorted coldly and let go.
Out of the corner of her eye she happened to catch Tang Rou's aggrieved little look, and her heart softened, and her heart softened; she felt she owed her daughter an apology.
After all, the other party had once nearly been violated by her nephew, leaving behind an indelible shadow.
Yet she herself wanted everyone to forgive Lin Xuan....
To Tang Rou, that was probably unfair and incomprehensible.
"Xiao Rou! Y-you... don't blame Mom; I have my difficulties too."
"It's just that your cousin really isn't the same anymore; I believe he has truly repented."
"Next time you see him, I'll have him apologize to you—just give him a chance and forgive him, okay!"
"......."
Faced with Xu Shuyun's earnest persuasion.
A trace of gloom flashed through Tang Rou's eyes, but on her face, she kept nodding again and again, putting on a wronged look of willing self-sacrifice.
Her eyes were slightly red???, tears glistening at the corners as she nodded in a sweet, soft voice:
"I leave everything to Honored Mother to decide! As for Cousin, I forgave him long ago; I've even always regretted....."
"Back then I shouldn't have resisted Cousin's outrage......."
"If at that time I had just let Cousin enjoy my body and defile my chastity, swallowed it all in silence, maybe Cousin wouldn't have cut ties with us."
"Wuwuwu... if it were some other little sister, she would surely choose to sacrifice herself for the family's harmony and endure it all quietly...."
"Thinking of it that way, it's all my fault instead, it makes me seem so petty, even less than other little sisters!"
"Please rest assured, Honored Mother! Next time Cousin wants to humiliate me, I definitely won't resist anymore and will just let him press me down and vent his beastly desires....."
"......."
Tang Rou took out a handkerchief and lightly wiped her tears, murmuring self-reproach nonstop.
For a moment, the scent of tea filled the air.
And this pitiable posture instantly made Tang Guo'an and his son beside her ache with distress.
Look, just look at that......
What a kind and pure angelic daughter (sister).....
???( ˊ?ˋ )???*.
For the sake of family harmony, this victim disregards her overwhelming grievance and is actually willing to sacrifice herself?!
Even if it means being ravaged by that beast Lin Xuan, she doesn't hesitate o(╥﹏╥)o.....
At this very moment.
The father and son, Tang Chuan and Tang Guo'an, once again saw holy light radiating from Tang Rou—dazzling!!!
And from the bottom of their hearts, they thanked the heavens for bringing such a gentle, kind angelic daughter (sister) to their side.....
Only Xu Shuyun at the side wore an odd expression, standing there in a daze.
She had heard quite a few similar lines from Tang Rou before.
Yet back then she hadn't sensed anything wrong; on the contrary, she had been deeply moved.
Yet this time, for some reason, it sounded rather grating to her, even giving her an uncomfortable feeling of "wanting to be both a victim and a saint".....
Xu Shuyun realized that ever since eavesdropping on Lin Xuan's inner voice.......
There had been a sense of clarity in her mind, as if a fog had been lifted.
Some things that had once seemed completely natural now appeared to be... a little unreasonable?!
"Alright! Xiao Chuan, Xiao Rou! It's getting late, you two go rest first! Whatever there is to talk about, we'll talk tomorrow!"
Seeing that she'd made herself so "wronged," yet Xu Shuyun still remained unmoved and didn't gently comfort her as she usually would.
Tang Rou's face stiffened, disbelief flickering in her pupils.
But she couldn't keep talking either, or it would seem a bit deliberate and affected, so after saying her goodnights she could only pull Tang Chuan along and turn to leave first.
"Honored Mother, Honored Father. Good night!"
Only when the backs of the Tang siblings completely vanished around the bend of the stairs......
Did Tang Guo'an finally frown, intending to ask in detail just what the hell Xu Shuyun was playing at tonight?!
But before he could open his mouth, Xu Shuyun brought over a steaming bowl of Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup and set it in front of him.
"Drink."
Smelling the pungent medicinal odor wafting from the bowl, Tang Guo'an was dumbfounded.
"Huh? (O_o) Th-this... what the heck is this???"
Upon hearing this.
Xu Shuyun glanced at her husband's crotch, a meaningful curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"This is something I specially stewed for you; I put in ox penis, seahorse, deer antler, ginseng, seal kidney and such ingredients—it can help warm and tonify your kidney yang."
"I think you've been under a lot of work pressure lately, maybe too worn out. Your body is a bit weak, not really up to it, so you need a tonic."
"Old Tang, I'm caring about you! Hurry and drink it while it's hot!"
"......"
Tang Guo'an: "——???!!!!!!"
"Nonsense?! Who says I'm not up to it! How can a man be 'not up to it'; my body is in great shape, okay?!"
"And with all those kidney-tonifying aphrodisiacs—you think I don't know what scheme you're hatching?"
"The abacus beads are practically snapping me in the face!!!"
"......."
Faced with his wife's penetrating gaze, Tang Guo'an felt uncomfortable all over, a constant unease as if he'd been seen through, so he could only use anger to cover his guilty conscience.
But Xu Shuyun couldn't be bothered with the old man's pride......
Under the threat of her half-smiling gaze, Tang Guo'an drank the bowl of tonic soup with tears in his eyes.
The next second, the "deficient but unable to take tonics" Tang Guo'an sprayed out two streams of nosebleed on the spot (￣ＴＴ￣).....
.......
Two and a half hours later, deep into the night.
Ever since drinking the tonic soup, Tang Guo'an felt his whole body burning; tossing and turning in bed, utterly unable to fall asleep.
Especially with his still-alluring wife lying beside him, who had even deliberately worn a little red camisole to seduce him before bed, making Tang Guo'an itch with desire even more.
But he knew the current condition of his body—his heart was willing but his strength was lacking......
For the sake of a man's pride, he would rather endure it for now; he simply couldn't accept having to face Xu Shuyun's disdainful, shocked gaze afterward, along with her sighing, complaining tone......
Finally, when he really couldn't take it anymore, Tang Guo'an sneaked a glance at Xu Shuyun.
Seeing that she was completely asleep, snoring like thunder, he slipped out of bed in the dark with practiced ease and headed for the study......
Two and a half minutes later.
Tang Guo'an had already taken off his pants, sat with his lower body bare at the computer desk.
Holding a few white tissues, he excitedly booted up the computer, quickly moved the mouse to the desktop folder labeled [SM Zone], and deftly clicked to play, all in one go.
The next second, the video began to show images...
