Chapter 17

Yao Nan got off work early, and when she got home, she was puzzled: “Honey, Mom suddenly called me and told me not to buy groceries, and even asked what you like to eat.”

This was indeed shocking. After all, ever since her daughter grew up, her mother-in-law rarely did housework. Cooking was always kept as simple as possible, and she usually found it troublesome. The responsibility of cooking at home had always fallen on Yao Nan.

The most terrifying part was that since their marriage, Shen Ruyu had never shown a good attitude. Xu Bin thought that unless there were guests, he rarely ate the food she cooked, and she certainly wouldn’t ask what he liked to eat.

“I gave her a gift!”

After sleeping all afternoon to recharge, Xu Bin stretched lazily and smiled mysteriously. “Wife, go change your clothes first, and then I’ll give you a gift.”

“So mysterious. Don’t tell me it’s flowers or something—such a waste of money.”

Yao Nan was actually quite excited when she heard this because she wasn’t one for rituals. Xu Bin was even more of a straight shooter, sometimes forgetting birthdays altogether. The concept of gifts had almost vanished from her mind.

Yao Nan happily laughed and ran upstairs, changing out of her old-fashioned and uncomfortable cheap office outfit. As she was picking out some home clothes, Xu Bin suddenly tossed a piece of clothing at her: “Wife, wear this.”

It was a black spaghetti strap dress, very sexy and short. Wearing it would not only reveal cleavage but also expose almost to the top of the thighs. This was Shen Ruyu’s nightgown.

Yao Nan blushed: “Why wear Mom’s nightgown?”

“I think you’d look really sexy in it.”

Under Xu Bin’s persistent coaxing, Yao Nan didn’t object. After all, it was normal for mother and daughter to swap clothes occasionally. The three sisters, however, had different body types, so swapping clothes felt awkward.

It was mainly because Yao Xin had a strong personality and wouldn’t let her two younger sisters casually wear her clothes, which made the sisters’ relationship less close.

Now, his lovely wife was even more beautiful than Suzuki Airi’s face and had a devilish figure. As soon as she put it on, Xu Bin instinctively swallowed hard and directly removed her bra, saying, “Why wear this at home? It’s so hot.”

Yao Nan playfully scolded him but cooperated, thinking that with only her mother and her husband at home, it was fine not to wear it.

Calculating the time when her mother-in-law would finish up and return, plus the time for grocery shopping, she should be back soon. Xu Bin was already thinking about how to complete the task, so he deliberately brought his wife downstairs to play around on the sofa.

“Wife, close your eyes!”

“Annoying, why so mysterious?”

Though she complained, Yao Nan closed her eyes with a face full of anticipation. Xu Bin gently kissed her, receiving a passionate response from her sweet little tongue.

During the tender and intoxicating kiss, Xu Bin grabbed her hand, and Yao Nan instinctively began stroking her husband’s erection through his shorts. Xu Bin burst out laughing: “You little pervert, always trying to take advantage of me.”

“It’s only natural for a wife to take advantage of her husband.”

Yao Nan said playfully, continuing to stroke through his pants.

Xu Bin enjoyed her increasingly lively and cheeky demeanor, glad that she was no longer the timid and submissive person she used to be. He grabbed her other hand.

Feeling a cool sensation on her wrist, Yao Nan opened her eyes in surprise and looked down to see a beautiful large gold bracelet on her wrist.

“Wow, it’s the Summer Cicada style!”

Yao Nan recognized it immediately, proving that this item was indeed popular lately.

Her face glowing with delight, she leaned against Xu Bin’s chest, admiring the gift with joy, but then quickly worried: “Honey, I’ve seen my colleagues wear very small ones. This one is so big—it must have cost a lot, right?”

“The best one, 36,000.”

Xu Bin held her, his hands roaming, and kissed her cheek.

“So expensive…”

Yao Nan was startled.

But Xu Bin immediately said that gold would appreciate in value over time, so she didn’t say anything to argue. She admired it fondly and suddenly asked, “Honey, did you give Mom the same gift?”

It wasn’t that she was particularly clever, but her mother-in-law talked about it every day until her ears were calloused. Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn’t have paid attention to such things.

“It’s too expensive!”

Yao Nan felt a slight pang of regret.

Xu Bin patted her butt and laughed, “That’s your mom! To curry favor with my mother-in-law, I’m willing to splurge. And here you are being stingy. If your mom found out, she’d definitely spank you.”

Yao Nan’s face turned red at his words, and she smiled sheepishly. Just then, the door suddenly opened.

Luckily, the two on the sofa were still fully dressed, but having witnessed the couple’s intimate moment yesterday, Yao Nan felt a bit embarrassed. She immediately jumped up and ran to take the groceries from her mother.

Shen Ruyu was also feeling uneasy at the moment. Seeing that her daughter also had a bracelet on her wrist, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that if her son-in-law only bought one for her and not for her daughter, it wouldn’t look right.

“Mom, do you like the bracelet Binbin bought for you?”

Yao Nan, a little embarrassed, lowered her head and made small talk.

“You need to talk to him about spending money so recklessly. Really.”

Though she said this, Shen Ruyu’s smile was brighter than a flower. Then she immediately turned serious and asked, “By the way, where did he get so much money?”

“Mom, let me tell you!”

“Let’s talk in the room. I need to change clothes.”

Mother and daughter went into the room together. Watching this pair of stunning mother-daughter beauties, Xu Bin couldn’t help but lick his lips.

Sure enough, effort brings rewards. At this moment, Yao Nan’s favorability had reached 92% (A lover who lets you do as you please, open to SM training).

Xu Bin wasn’t particularly interested in that. What made him happy was that his mother-in-law’s favorability had risen to 50%, a 10% increase, proving that this investment was well worth it.

However, the relationship with his mother-in-law wasn’t displayed yet, indicating that the system wasn’t entirely stable.

“Ding… Mother-in-law side quest to increase favorability completed. Reward: Skill—Enter a Woman’s Heart.”

“Ding… Wife’s favorability continues to rise. Reaching 100% will yield a major reward.”

Not stable and slow to respond—Xu Bin couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.

But the system wasn’t one to take it lying down and shot back: “Shen Ruyu’s favorability calculation didn’t start from when you gave the gift. It began from when she returned and experienced the entire afternoon, and only now has her mood stabilized.”

“Recalculate?”

“No!”

Xu Bin chose no, thinking the system was quite petty.

But the system had a point. The cumulative effect of showing off all afternoon only now took effect. She was probably also worried about where his money came from, and only now, with her mood stable, could the calculation be made. He had been too impatient.

Mother and daughter whispered in the room for a while before coming out. The mother-in-law had changed into a casual dress, and even with a bra on, her chest swayed mesmerizingly as she walked.

“Mom, let me help!”

“No need, I’ll do it myself. All three of you are clumsy. Go talk to your husband about not spending money so recklessly.”

The mother-in-law cheerfully pushed Yao Nan out of the kitchen. Yao Nan stuck out her tongue and ran over, hugging Xu Bin’s arm. “Honey, Mom just asked me why I was wearing her clothes. I said mine weren’t dry yet. I was so scared.”

“What’s there to be scared of?”

Xu Bin’s hands were already caressing her pert bottom through her clothes. He said in a low voice, “Wife, I’m feeling uncomfortable.”

After all the kissing and cuddling earlier, his erection had long been rock hard.
