Afraid of waking the two of them up.
Tang Manman simply put on her undergarments, grabbed the rest of her clothes and pants, and tiptoed out of the room as if fleeing.
After Tang Manman left, Xia Muzhu could no longer hold back.
She opened her eyes and glared with shame and indignation at Lin Yu, who was still pretending to be asleep but could barely suppress the smirk on his face.
She raised her small fist and punched him hard on the chest.
Only then did Lin Yu open his eyes with a cheeky grin.
Facing the ashamed and angry Xia Muzhu, he shamelessly leaned in and gave her a kiss.
Xia Muzhu really had no way to deal with him...
...
In the living room outside the bedroom.
Tang Manman hurriedly put on her coat. Without even bothering to fix her hair, her mind was entirely focused on escaping this awkward place.
But when she reached the tightly shut front door.
Tang Manman despairingly discovered that the door was actually locked!
No matter how she tried, she couldn't open it.
Damn it!
With just a little thought, Tang Manman knew exactly who was responsible for locking the door.
But at this point, Tang Manman had no other choice.
She couldn't possibly go back into the bedroom, drag Lin Yu out of bed, and give him a vicious bite, could she?
There was nothing she could do.
Tang Manman could only sit on the sofa and try her best to calm herself down.
At least she could make herself look calm on the surface!
Not long after, rustling sounds came from the bedroom.
It seemed the two had also woken up and were getting dressed.
Seeing this, Tang Manman immediately picked up her phone and aimlessly scrolled through mindless short videos to hide her inner turmoil.
A few minutes later.
The bedroom door was pushed open.
Lin Yu stepped out first, standing in the doorway and stretching lazily with a look of extreme satisfaction on his face.
Xia Muzhu was behind him, squeezing out through the gap between Lin Yu and the wall.
She did not even dare to glance at Tang Manman, who was sitting on the sofa looking at her phone. Keeping her head down, she walked straight into the kitchen.
The reason Xia Muzhu went into the kitchen wasn't that she was in a hurry to make breakfast.
It was because she felt she also needed to find a private place to calm down!
But Lin Yu didn't realize this. Watching Xia Muzhu enter the kitchen, Lin Yu said with utter shamelessness:
"Sister Zhuzi, I want to eat millet porridge!"
"Boil a few extra eggs!"
Xia Muzhu tripped over her own feet and nearly stumbled.
She turned her head and gave Lin Yu an annoyed glare, but in the end, she silently noted his request.
After Xia Muzhu entered the kitchen, Lin Yu went over and sat down next to Tang Manman.
With Xia Muzhu gone, Tang Manman stopped hiding her feelings. She hit Lin Yu in a huff and said angrily:
"Open the door right now!"
"I want to leave."
Lin Yu fully accepted Tang Manman's painless little punch.
He reached out, pulled Tang Manman into his arms, and said with a smile:
"Leave after eating breakfast."
"What's the rush?"
"No!"
"I want to leave right now!"
Tang Manman protested in a small voice, but under Lin Yu's forceful embrace, it all ultimately proved futile.
Lying in Lin Yu's arms, her shyness gradually faded away.
Lin Yu had never been one to play favorites. After coaxing Tang Manman, he kept her company for a little while longer, then used the excuse of checking on the food to go to the kitchen.
Tang Manman knew Lin Yu was going to that woman's side.
She didn't stop him; she just gave him a sidelong glance filled with a tiny bit of resentment.
Lin Yu left a kiss as compensation, and Tang Manman's tiny bit of resentment vanished into thin air.
Leaving Tang Manman, Lin Yu got up and went to the kitchen.
Seeing Xia Muzhu stirring the porridge with a spoon, Lin Yu leaned in and asked softly:
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xia Muzhu glanced at Lin Yu and shook her head, indicating that there was no need for him to show off his attentiveness here.
Xia Muzhu seemed to have figured things out by now; the shame and indignation were gone from her eyes.
There was only a trace of worry.
She put down the spoon in her hand, looked at Lin Yu, and said seriously:
"Once Little Shan wakes up, you are not allowed to fool around like this anymore."
"Little Shan cannot know about this matter for now."
"Otherwise, I'm worried that if he gets angry, it will affect his recovery."
Lin Yu nodded in deep agreement and said:
"I understand."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful from now on."
Actually, if possible, Lin Yu wished he could hide this matter from Xia Yueshan for the rest of his life.
When it came to matters of life and death.
Lin Yu hoped even more than Xia Muzhu that Xia Yueshan would never discover this twisted relationship!
After receiving Lin Yu's promise, Xia Muzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and the seriousness in her eyes was replaced by a touch of gentleness.
She reached out a finger, gently poked Lin Yu's forehead, and said somewhat helplessly:
"You, you're always stirring up this kind of trouble all day long."
After calming down, Xia Muzhu had already realized that nothing had happened last night.
Because there was plenty of glaring evidence right there.
It could be seen through at a glance.
She knew that Lin Yu did all of this just to make things more harmonious between her and Tang Manman.
Seeing Lin Yu try so hard, Xia Muzhu couldn't bear it and reached out to touch his cheek.
Honestly.
She had told herself to act more mature.
How could she still be so insensible?
Since she had already cleared things up with Lin Yu, what was the point of putting on airs and making a fuss?
At this thought, the gentleness in Xia Muzhu's eyes deepened. She smiled softly, looked at Lin Yu's face, and said in a gentle voice:
"I don't need your help here. Go out and ask her if there's anything she'd like to eat."
Hearing Xia Muzhu's words, Lin Yu raised his eyebrows in pleasant surprise, almost unable to believe his ears.
What did he just hear?
Was Sister Zhuzi showing goodwill to Tang Manman, planning to completely accept her?
"Okay, okay."
"I'll go ask right away."
Lin Yu couldn't hide his beaming smile and turned to leave as fast as he could.
However, before he could even step out of the kitchen, Lin Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned back around, returned to Xia Muzhu's side, and gave her a big, tight kiss before turning to leave once again.
This was just too great!
Xia Muzhu was willing to get along with Tang Manman.
His little life was finally saved!
Rushing over to Tang Manman in high spirits, Lin Yu plopped down beside her, wrapped an arm around her, and asked excitedly:
"Sister Zhuzi is asking if there's anything you'd like to eat."
"She'll make it for you."
"Just order whatever you want!"
"Her cooking is amazing!"
Tang Manman looked a bit surprised, clearly not expecting her to show such goodwill.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Manman shook her head and said:
"No need."
"I can eat anything."
Tang Manman was afraid of troubling Xia Muzhu and didn't want to add to her burden.
"Oh, come on."
"Just pick one, pick one!"
"Don't be so polite."
Lin Yu hugged Tang Manman's shoulders, shaking her gently as he urged her.
"Then..."
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Manman looked up and said:
"Then I want an extra egg too!"

Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement?
