Liu Ergou quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, you're right, Yun Xi. It's my fault for not telling you in advance, so please forgive me, okay?"

Seeing Liu Ergou's perfunctory attitude, Liu Yunxi rolled her eyes. "Hmph, I can't be bothered to be angry with you!"

"But I'm telling you, you are not allowed to keep things like this from me anymore. Also, after you treat her grandfather, you come straight back. No more contact with Zhang Man, do you hear me?"

Hearing Liu Yunxi relent, Liu Ergou immediately assured her, "Don't worry. The moment I finish treating Zhang Man's grandfather, I'll come right back. I definitely won't linger over there!"

Seeing Liu Ergou's earnest expression, Liu Yunxi said nothing more and simply nodded.

Liu Ergou then started to ask, "Uh, Yun Xi, do you think we could still..."

Before he could finish, Liu Yunxi cut him off. "Still what? Forget it!"

"Someone had better hurry up and get ready so they can go see Zhang Man!"

With a huff, Liu Yunxi delivered her sarcastic parting shot and left without a backward glance.

Watching Liu Yunxi's retreating figure, Liu Ergou gave a wry smile. Liu Yunxi... she's such a little green-eyed monster! But she's awfully cute when she's jealous.

After watching Liu Yunxi leave, Liu Ergou went back to bed, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a nap. He had been incredibly busy lately.

However, when Liu Ergou opened his eyes again, it was already night.

Staring at the pitch-dark sky outside, he muttered to himself in astonishment, "No way! I only took a nap, how did it get dark already? Ugh, how am I going to sleep tonight?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, his stomach started to growl. Liu Ergou instantly realized he hadn't eaten all day; it was time for dinner.

With that in mind, he got out of bed and went to the kitchen to rummage for something to eat. After a thorough search, he came up empty. The kitchen was spotless, with nothing in it except for half a pot of leftover rice and a few eggs.

Staring at the leftover rice and eggs, Liu Ergou fell into deep thought. After a moment of consideration, he decided to cook for himself and make some egg fried rice.

Making egg fried rice was a simple task for Liu Ergou, who cooked frequently. A few moments later, the leftovers had been transformed into a pot of fragrant fried rice.

Just as Liu Ergou was about to dig in, he suddenly remembered that his sister-in-law most likely hadn't eaten dinner either.

At that thought, Liu Ergou got up, planning to ask his sister-in-law to eat with him. Soon, he arrived at her bedroom door.

He reached out, pushed the door open, and said, "Sister-in-law, I made dinner! Come out and eat with me! Tonight, we're having..."

Liu Ergou's words trailed off as he stared ahead in astonishment. Standing right in front of him was Xu Yulan.

Xu Yulan was wearing a pair of black stockings that made her beautiful legs look incredibly long and slender. Above, she wore a black lace camisole, its sheer fabric tantalizingly revealing.

The sight left Liu Ergou completely dumbfounded. He never would have dreamed that his sister-in-law would wear something like this; after all, she was known for her conservative style of dress.

Seeing Liu Ergou staring intently at her, Xu Yulan couldn't help but blush. She crossed her arms in front of herself. "Er... Er Gou..." she called out softly. "Um, could you please stop staring? You're making me shy!"

Xu Yulan's words snapped the dazed Liu Ergou back to his senses. The first thing he did was take a swift step into the room, then turn around and shut the door.

Looking at his sister-in-law, Liu Ergou tried to sound calm as he asked, "Sis... Sister-in-law! What's the occasion? Why did you suddenly decide to wear... this?"

Already shy, Xu Yulan became even more flustered by his question. The arms that had been covering her chest now moved to hide her face.

"N-No special reason!" Xu Yulan stammered. "I just... I just remembered I had this outfit! Um, Er Gou, do you think I look pretty in it?"

Her question immediately made Liu Ergou understand her intentions, and a smile spread across his face.

"Pretty? Of course, you look beautiful!" he said. "You're the most beautiful no matter what you wear!"

As he spoke, Liu Ergou quickly closed the distance between them and pulled Xu Yulan into his arms. The moment he embraced her, a fire ignited deep within him.

Gazing at the delectable woman in his arms, Liu Ergou's voice grew husky for some unknown reason. "Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful today! I... I can't wait any longer!"

Hearing his words, Xu Yulan shyly buried her face in his chest.

Seeing how shy she was, Liu Ergou gave a wicked chuckle. "Now, now, Sister-in-law, don't be shy. You're already dressed like this, what's there to be shy about? Come on, lift your head and let me get a good look at you!"

Instead of lifting her head, Xu Yulan only burrowed deeper into his embrace.

Her reaction made Liu Ergou burst out laughing. "Look at you, getting all shy again!"

"Alright, alright, stop being shy," he teased. "Now, you'd better confess. What's the special occasion? Why did you suddenly decide to wear this to seduce me? If you don't fess up, don't blame me for spanking you later!"

In response, Xu Yulan only hummed softly in his arms, saying nothing more.

It was that soft hum that made Liu Ergou suddenly realize what was going on.

It had to be because Liu Yunxi came to find me this afternoon. I was getting intimate with my sister-in-law when we were interrupted. She must be jealous.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou asked, "Sister-in-law, are you jealous?"

Xu Yulan remained silent.

Liu Ergou continued on his own, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law. You'll always be number one in my heart. No one can ever take your place. You can rest assured of that. You're the most important person to me, bar none."
