Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 848: Chapter 848: How is your husband’s physique?

Di Yelei returned home very late that night.

Upon his return, he saw Liu Sisi sleeping soundly on the recliner beside her.

Nowadays, it was early winter, and fortunately, there was underfloor heating inside the room, so there was no risk of catching a cold, but it still made Di Ye Lei feel helplessly concerned.

“Sisi, Sisi, how come you’re asleep here?”

While speaking, he bent down to pick her up and then placed her at the head of the bed.

As soon as her body touched the bed, Liu Sisi woke up.

...

“Ye Lei? Have Elder Di and the others returned to the mansion? What did you all discuss?”

“You’re so sleepy you can’t even keep your eyes open. Whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow,” Di Yelei didn’t say much but instead pulled up the quilt to cover her.

“I’m not sleepy anymore…” Liu Sisi struggled, trying to get up.

“You may not be sleepy, but I am. Go to sleep now, be good!”

As Di Yelei spoke, he took off his coat and lay down beside her, lifting the quilt to cover them and wrapped his arms around her waist, his large hands gradually moving downward…

“Don’t…”

Amidst her drowsiness, Liu Sisi caught the main point, “My period has started; don’t do this…”

A flicker of annoyance passed through Di Yelei’s eyes. She was not pregnant again, it seemed his plans had fallen through once more.

A few years ago, he hadn’t been by her side, leaving Sisi to mourn alone in front of the tomb, guarding an empty bedchamber. Now that he had returned to the capital, successful and honored, he naturally hoped to proliferate his lineage and add new members to the family.

Lingering fondly over her lower abdomen for a moment, he then pulled her fully into his arms and gently kissed her forehead.

“It’s late; sleep now!”

As he spoke, he casually extinguished the light.

Although it was brief, Liu Sisi caught the look of annoyance in Di Yelei’s eyes. She couldn’t help but laugh, finding a comfortable position in his arms and falling deeply asleep.

The next morning, Liu Sisi felt a little lazy to get out of bed. Ever since she had given birth to triplets, she always felt sleepy when her period arrived, and her eyes would swell, too. She had seen a doctor, but despite years of taking remedies to bolster her health, the improvement was marginal at best.

Di Yelei strode energetically into the room after practicing martial arts in the backyard of the Marquis Mansion. He felt his skills would dull if he went even a few days without practice. Seeing her still lazing in bed, he smiled and didn’t wake her but turned to go to the bathroom instead.

When he came back, he was wearing only underwear, drying the beads of water on his head. As he shook off the droplets, he saw Liu Sisi gazing at him with blurred eyes, which immediately amused him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

The teasing in his voice instantly made Liu Sisi blush, “Who, who’s looking at you? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”

No sooner had she spoken did she remember the double entendre in her words. Immediately becoming even more embarrassed, she hastily pulled the quilt over her head.

Suddenly feeling a weight on her, Liu Sisi found the quilt yanked away as Di Yelei looked at her with raised eyebrows, his face sporting a mischievous smile, “Oh? When have you seen it before? Do tell your husband all about it?”

“Go away! I need to get up.”

Liu Sisi hurriedly pushed him away, trying to free herself from his embrace, but with a casual scoop of his arm, he pinned her arms down, rendering her immobile.

“Don’t rush. I’ve already given orders to Ms. Gao to prepare some food to bring here. Let’s lie down a while longer,” Di Yelei was unwilling to let go.

“Stop it, what if Ms. Gao comes in later and sees us, how would that look?”

Liu Sisi, being thin-skinned, naturally didn’t want others to see them.

Di Yelei, however, deliberately teased her, “I won’t let go unless you answer me where you’ve seen it before, then I’ll release you.”

“I… Where else could I have seen it?”

Where else could she have gone to see another man’s body? Even if in her previous life she’d seen plenty of male models at fashion shows, Liu Sisi would never admit to having laid eyes on another man’s physique. If she really said that, the jealous man in front of her might turn the world upside down.

“Hahaha! How is it? Your husband’s physique is good, isn’t it?”

Di Yelei laughed proudly, showing off his muscular build to Liu Sisi, but he still got up as he had agreed.

Not to mention, Di Yelei’s physique was indeed impressive; his bronze skin exceptionally healthy, his inverted triangle of an ideal proportioned body was comparable to Michelangelo’s David statue, his long black hair cascading like a waterfall over his tightly packed muscles, exceptionally strong and powerful…

As Liu Sisi scrutinized him with her eyes, he not only did not retreat but also purposely struck an archer’s pose, winking triumphantly at her.

“What do you think? Is your husband’s physique to the Princess’s satisfaction?”

Watching Di Yelei flaunting his muscles, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“It’s nothing but a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Can it grow another mouth?”

“Hey, you say that, but I’m definitely not going to grow another mouth. However…” He deliberately dragged out his speech, leaning toward Liu Sisi’s ear: “For those upper and lower lips of yours, your husband can certainly satisfy…”

“You… You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!”

Liu Sisi’s face was burning with embarrassment; she was utterly speechless. When had this terrible Di Yelei started spouting such indecent words?

Forgetting everything else, she grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it straight at him.

“Ow! Sisi, don’t hit me, I was wrong, okay? I won’t say those crude words ever again, alright? Ow!”

Di Yelei hastily dodged.

“I, I’ll teach you to run your mouth, to talk nonsense!”

Seeing her first strike miss, Liu Sisi grabbed the pillow again and the books beside it, one after another, targeting him with each throw.

“Stop hitting…”

Di Yelei hopped and dodged about, unwittingly moving close to the door, nearly colliding with Ms. Gao who had just come in with food.

“Ah! Old Master Marquis, Princess!”

Ms. Gao’s exclamation snapped Liu Sisi back to her senses. She quickly put down the jadeite cabbage she was holding, coughed lightly a few times, and then shrank back under the quilt.

So embarrassing!

How was she to live on after such a rash side of her was witnessed by the servants?

Fortunately, Ms. Gao was quick-witted. She promptly set the food on a small table to the side, then retreated and considerately closed the door behind her.

The moment the door closed, Di Yelei couldn’t help but laugh out loud; his laughter grew louder and louder, causing Liu Sisi to peep her head out from under the quilt.

“Hey! Have you laughed enough?”

“Hey! You laugh that long, are your teeth still white?”

“You bastard Di Yelei, it’s all your fault! You’ve utterly embarrassed me, I’m telling you, this matter isn’t over, don’t think you’ve won…”

The house was filled with Di Yelei’s unrestrained laughter and Liu Sisi’s exasperated chastising.

On this early winter morning, a bit of liveliness was added.

Not long after, scattered light snow began to fall outside, and the first snow of early winter finally arrived on time.
