Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Because the weather was cold, Xia Yingying wore a lot of clothes, and Lu Ziren had a hot body, so he also wore a thin cotton coat.

Lu Ziren closed his eyes, feeling Xia Yingying in his arms, and he was reluctant to let go.

He was afraid to hug her any longer, and he was even more reluctant to leave, so he let go of Xia Yingying and pressed a kiss on her forehead with his hot lips. Xia Yingying's forehead was cool because of the morning air, and when Lu Ziren's kiss reached her forehead, it felt like a fire was burning.

After Lu Ziren let go of Xia Yingying, she was still in a daze.

This was the first time in her life that she experienced a kiss from the opposite sex.

She felt her heart pounding wildly, and her whole body was burning like a fire because of the kiss, almost melting her. Her head was buzzing until Lu Ziren got on the horse, the sound of horse hooves stepped into the mist, and Lu Ziren's back gradually disappeared. Only then did Xia Yingying wake up from the shock.

It was still early and there was nothing to do, so Xia Yingying took a leisurely walk back to her room to take a nap. As soon as she lay down, the scene of Lu Ziren kissing her just now kept replaying in her mind. She blushed, rolled around in her arms, and her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Lu Ziren kissed her today. Does this mean he likes her?

Xia Yingying lies on the bed, searching for every little detail of her time with Lu Ziren, and unexpectedly discovers that Lu Ziren seems to care about her a little. Is this love?

Xia Yingying's heart was pounding.

Xia Yingying was a single person in her previous life. After coming here, she was directly promoted to the role of wife and mother. She has never experienced what love is like.

In modern times, she has always played the role of a good girl since she was a child. There were also male classmates in middle school who passed her notes, but she only wanted to go to college and turned a blind eye to those notes. After that, no boys wrote her notes.

She could fall in love when she went to college, but she had always felt inferior due to family reasons. She liked a senior in her class, but she never had the courage to confess her love to him. In the end, that crush died in the womb. After she started working, she didn't like any of the men, so she remained single.

After coming here, she, a single dog, was directly promoted to a wife and mother. She was also trying hard to adapt to her role as a stepmother, but she was slow to adapt to the role of Lu Ziren's wife. In her opinion, they had no feelings for each other, and she had always treated Lu Ziren only as a cooperative work partner.

But when Lu Ziren kissed her just now, she found that she didn't hate Lu Ziren. Does this mean that she likes Lu Ziren a little bit in her heart?

Xia Yingying was lying in bed thinking about it, and it was already dawn when she figured out that she had feelings for Lu Ziren.

Song Ruyi's voice came from outside the door, and Xia Yingying also got up and helped prepare breakfast.

After breakfast was ready, Lu Haojie saw that Lu Ziren hadn't come, so he asked Xia Yingying: "Mom, why didn't Dad come to eat noodles?"

Chen Yi did not look at Xia Yingying. He had also heard the conversation between Lu Ziren and the third prince this morning. He also heard the noise when Lu Ziren left.

"Your father has already left this morning for the military camp. Don't worry. Your father only left after eating noodles."

"Oh." Lu Haojie then remembered that Lu Ziren was leaving today.

He clearly didn't feel anything yesterday and was even happy thinking about eating delicious food. But today, as he couldn't see Lu Ziren, Lu Haojie was visibly depressed.

"Mom, the New Year is only one month away. Will Dad come back during the New Year?" Lu Haojie took a few mouthfuls of noodles and raised his head to ask.

Xia Yingying was also stumped by Lu Haojie's question. Lu Ziren was in the military camp defending his country, so it was probably unrealistic for him to come back for the New Year.

Xia Yingying didn't want to discourage Lu Haojie's enthusiasm, but she didn't dare to give him too much hope. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If Lu Ziren didn't come back, Lu Haojie would be very upset.

So he laughed and said, "It depends on whether your father has a holiday. If he does, he will definitely come back."

At this moment, Lu Haojie also understood the implicit meaning of Xia Yingying's words and did not ask whether Lu Ziren would come back.

After dinner, Song Ruyi washed the dishes, while Lu Haojie and Chen Yi helped Xia Yingying tidy up the store.

When Xia Yingying saw Chen Yi, she said to him,

"Brother Chen, if you help me work in my shop now, I will pay you three taels of silver a month in the future, okay?"

Before, Xia Yingying calculated Chen Yi's wages day by day and asked Lu Ziren to give them to Chen Yi, but now that Lu Ziren is not around, Xia Yingying contacts Chen Yi directly. Xia Yingying is afraid of trouble, so she decides to pay the wages once a month.

After Chen Yi put the tiger skin cake in the cupboard, he raised his head and touched his head, "Sister-in-law, I am just helping you beat eggs now. The wages are a bit high. I am still eating and living at your house. There is no need to pay me such a high wage."

Chen Yi felt uneasy about receiving such a high salary.

Except for the first day when Xia Yingying opened the shop, and helping her out when she was making pastries yesterday, the rest of the time he went to help out in Xiuniang's inn.

"But you've already helped me most of the way by helping me beat the eggs," Xia Yingying insisted.

Beating eggs is hard work.

Chen Yi shook his head repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, this is really not right. I have seen how hard it is to run your pastry shop. An accountant in the county town only gets two taels of silver a month, and you give me three taels at once. This is unfair. I don't often help in your shop. I eat your food and live in your house, but I still want to take so much salary. Am I, Chen Yi, such a heartless person?

Since sister-in-law mentioned the wages today, I will also be honest with her. When Brother Lu's comrades come in a few days, I will go to Xiuniang's store to help out. She is too busy over there, and she just wants to hire a waiter. "

After Chen Yi finished speaking, a blush appeared on his dark skin, but because his skin was dark, it was difficult to see without careful observation.

When Xia Yingying saw Cheng Yi and Xiuniang before, she felt that the relationship between them was a bit ambiguous. She thought that it might take some time for Chen Yi to win the beauty. However, she didn't expect that Chen Yi acted so quickly and successfully got under Xiuniang's nose, intending to meet her every day.

Seeing this, Xia Yingying curved her eyebrows and said to Chen Yi jokingly, "I didn't expect that you, Brother Chen, are so quick to take down Xiuniang so quickly."

When Chen Yi heard Xia Yingying say it so clearly and openly, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment and his face turned even redder.

"No... I'm just going to help. She... she hasn't agreed to be with me yet."

Chen Yi was good-looking and of a rather large build. Xia Yingying was used to seeing Chen Yi's ferocious look, so when she saw Chen Yi being so shy and hesitant in falling in love, the expression on her face suddenly fell.

"Well, keep working hard and try to let me drink at your wedding earlier." Xia Yingying said to Lu Ziren, suppressing the goose bumps on her body.

Chen Yi's whole face was bright red, and he looked like he was drunk.

Song Ruyi opened the door and prepared to welcome the guests. When she passed by Chen Yi, whose face was dark red, she began to persuade him.

"Chen Yi, did you drink alcohol this morning? Why did you drink as soon as you woke up? This is very harmful to your health."

When Chen Yi heard what Song Ruyi said, his face turned even redder. He said to Xia Yingying, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to Xiuniang's place to help her decorate her house." Then he ran away in a hurry.

Seeing Chen Yi leave so quickly, Song Ruyi shouted at the top of her voice, "Hey, Chen Yi, you're still drunk, why are you leaving now?"

Seeing this, Xia Yingying hurriedly pulled Song Ruyi's sleeve to stop her from talking: "Chen Yi is not drunk, he has a lover. If you shout like that, won't the neighbors know about it?"

When Song Ruyi heard that Chen Yi had a lover, she immediately became excited and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Xia Yingying stood by the counter, wiped the counter with a rag, and said mysteriously, "You will know after a while."

"Hey, girl, you have to tell me anyway, so tell me first." "Please vote"
