Chapter 69 "Be My Lover"

Inside the guest room.

Zhou Lang found a brand new set of bedding and also took an unopened bathrobe.

Shen Wanrou placed her hand on her chest, still looking like she hadn't calmed down yet.

She looked at Zhou Lang with pleading eyes. Seeing this, Zhou Lang understood and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Don't want to sleep right away? How about we talk some more?"

"Um…"

Although she had asked him to stay in the room under the pretext of chatting, Shen Wanrou didn't know how to start the conversation, so the two of them just sat there quietly.

However, this gradually calmed Shen Wanrou down.

As Zhou Lang looked at the still-shaken married woman, he noticed that the rise and fall of her chest was more noticeable than usual.

Shen Wanrou's hair was also a little messy, with a few strands of hair falling loosely.

Zhou Lang thought to himself, if this were a scene from a Western movie or TV series, after a tense and exciting sequence, the male and female leads would be alone together in a room, and what would happen next would be—

The man and woman looked at each other, and then suddenly one of them stood up and hugged the other.

They started biting each other without warning, and the intensity was definitely comparable to a battle...

Then, for no apparent reason, she started taking off her clothes, while her lips remained connected.

The scene shifts, oh my god, Slovakia, and the woman starts oh ho ho ho ho ho...

"Ahem." Zhou Lang coughed lightly.

Different national conditions, different national conditions...

"Sister-in-law," Zhou Lang said, trying to make conversation, "I'll take Xixi to the shop tomorrow morning and pick her up in the afternoon to practice for her driving test. I mentioned to you before that the pay at Speedway is pretty good. Why don't you come with us to check it out in person? It'll give you another option."

Shen Wanrou nodded gently, and Zhou Lang continued, "If you're getting used to living in Shushui City, wait and see what Shu Nan thinks. If she quits her job to prepare for the exam and comes back to Shushui to live with you—we can rent you a new place instead of the old one."

Shen Wanrou looked somewhat worried: "Shu Nan is overthinking things... She wants to get back on track to making money as soon as possible. She's afraid that not working to prepare for the exam will only add to my burden."

"Don't worry about living expenses," Zhou Lang said. "We've got a group of friends here; helping her out is no problem at all."

Shen Wanrou glanced at him briefly. "This group of friends" was just an excuse; she knew Zhou Lang's true intentions.

He could support his younger sister for a period of time, allowing Shu Nan to focus on her exams without distractions.

He could consider the money a loan, and if her relationship with Zhou Lang deepened, he didn't intend to ask for it back.

"You've helped me so much. There's absolutely no reason for me to trouble you again with my sister's living expenses... that would be too much to ask..."

Zhou Lang's gaze lingered on Shen Wanrou's elegant face: "Then let's find a reason to make this seem plausible."

Shen Wanrou's breathing became slightly rapid.

He...he wants it?

Zhou Lang understood Shen Wanrou's concerns. As a woman deeply influenced by traditional family education, she had always adhered to the concept of being a good wife and mother in her previous life... However, after entering marriage, her ex-husband was not a good person and she had no children, which made her concept fall apart.

Now that he's divorced, his mindset is on the verge of shifting from "fulfilling the task of getting married and having children" to "living for himself."

To expect her to suddenly express her feelings or even expose her breasts like a heroine in a Western movie... would be a bit too hasty.

Moreover, if she were to accept Zhou Lang, it wouldn't just mean changing her mindset to one of free love after divorce, but also accepting the fact that she could date a man who already had a girlfriend and be his lover.

Therefore, Zhou Lang would not have revealed this meaning rashly if the system had not indicated that the success rate was over 95%.

As for now...

Shen Wanrou pursed her lips.

She couldn't actually find a reason to refuse Zhou Lang; the only problem was that she was concerned about Su Ying'er's feelings... In this respect, Zhou Lang gave her the impression that he had a way to handle things.

"Sister-in-law, I understand how you feel. You have many concerns about accepting a relationship right away."

Zhou Lang said with a smile, "Then I hope you can understand my feelings to some extent. If things continue to be so vague and ambiguous, then even if several more years pass, there will be no progress."

"We don't have to do it all at once, but at least don't deny it, let alone say you didn't mean it that way."

"I..." Shen Wanrou knew that she couldn't fool them tonight.

Zhou Lang's timing was perfect. If it had been a few days earlier, she might have wavered. But if he had been so eager to confront her feelings, she might not have agreed at all...

She frowned, closed her eyes, and said with a defiant tone, "Yes, I felt that way too. You... you can call me frivolous or unreserved, but after spending time with you these past few days, I couldn't help but fall for you..."

As soon as Shen Wanrou finished speaking, Zhou Lang opened his arms and embraced her.

"Wanrou," Zhou Lang said, "that's how men's possessiveness and desire for ownership work. If you only express your affection for me, then it's not frivolous."

"So soon you're already your mistress..." Shen Wanrou nervously clutched the back of his shirt. "Aren't you just a promiscuous woman?"

"Since I have feelings for you, I definitely have to steal you away before you meet anyone else." Zhou Lang stroked her hair, which was styled in a bun. "You're divorced and single now, and you want to be carefree and have fun, but you can only be with me. Can you do that?"

"Isn't that a must..." Shen Wanrou said softly. Once she has made up her mind about a relationship, she will not give up easily unless she is betrayed and hurt deeply.

Feeling Zhou Lang's hand moving around, Shen Wanrou trembled slightly: "Mmm... Zhou Lang..."

Zhou Lang gently patted her warm back: "Some things are better left until you can fully immerse yourself in them and enjoy them. Tonight, it seems, will leave you with a tense and unsettling memory."

"Thank you..." Shen Wanrou lowered her head. Zhou Lang's embrace and these words finally made her tense body relax.

"Then you should get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Zhou Lang's money-power system also popped up a notification at this moment.
