Soaking in hot springs takes a long time. It's already six o'clock, and knowing Ye Wangshu's personality, he'll definitely take them to enjoy food and drinks while soaking in the hot springs and chatting.
It will probably be 10 p.m. when it ends.
If it ends that late, his plans for tonight will be ruined.
So he sent Ling Shuangjiang a WeChat message: "Shuangjiang, I'm a little sleepy, let's go to the hot springs tomorrow."
Ling Shuangjiang quickly replied: "Didn't you rest well yesterday?"
Xie Wang: "Okay. You guys have fun, don't worry about me."
After typing that sentence, Xie Wang began to decorate their bedroom, scattering roses on the bed and preparing aromatherapy and soothing CDs.
Their room was a suite, with a bedroom on the inside and a living room on the outside, as well as a small bar and a gaming room; it was quite spacious. The only mahjong set in the entire courtyard was also in their room.
If he wasn't mistaken, Ling Shuangjiang would definitely come back to be with him within half an hour.
Then the two of them will have enough time to be intimate.
On the bed, on the sofa, on the balcony, in a gaming chair…
Xie Wang almost got a nosebleed.
After tidying everything up, Xie Wang's last task was to wash himself clean.
While drying his hair, he faintly heard footsteps outside the courtyard. He quickened his pace, hurriedly took off his bathrobe, revealing his muscular abs, and picked up a leather whip to greet them at the bedroom door.
"Xie Wang, are you asleep?"
Sure enough, Ling Shuangjiang returned.
Suppressing his excitement, Xie Wang hung the leather whip around his neck, leaned against the bedroom door, and gently pushed it open.
Every move was meticulously planned.
A drop of bathwater lingered on his abs and gently slid off.
"Master, you're back."
Behind Ling Shuangjiang, Ye Wangshu and Lin Yinci, who were about to get the mahjong tiles, were both stunned.
Seeing Ling Shuang blush with embarrassment, Xie Lin sighed, "Are you playing this elaborate game?"
Chapter 69 Happy New Year
Xie Wang was caught off guard by what he was seeing. He hurriedly put on his bathrobe and used one hand to close the bedroom door.
Seeing Lin Yinci awkwardly avoid his gaze, Ye Wangshu wished he could disappear into the ground. He felt utterly humiliated and regretted having given birth to this son.
"Yinci, let's go to my room first."
Ye Wangshu maintained his smile and spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Yinci smiled faintly and said, "Okay."
After the two mothers left, only Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Lin remained in the house.
Before leaving, Lin Yinci turned around and glanced at Ling Shuangjiang.
Ling Shuangjiang's face flushed red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Recalling Xie Wang's attire just now, he felt a headache coming on and wished he could go in, pat Xie Wang on the head, and ask him what he was thinking.
Xie Wang must have gone crazy for some reason, or seen something strange, to actually call him master?
What will Ye Wangshu think of him?
If you didn't know better, you'd think they did this all the time.
In her 23 years of life, Ling Shuangjiang had never experienced such an awkward situation.
And this was done in front of his most important family members.
Xie Lin sat with him on the sofa, his expression always showing a gossipy interest.
"Sister-in-law, do you regret it now?"
Ling Shuangjiang raised her eyebrows: "Regret what?"
Xie Lin: "I regret falling for my brother, this big dog."
Ling Shuangjiang sighed softly, struggling to speak about this embarrassing matter, "He was joking. He's never called me that before."
At that moment, the bedroom door was slowly opened.
Xie Wang had changed into normal clothes and walked behind Ling Shuangjiang.
Seeing Xie Wang's guilty and embarrassed expression, with his head bowed as if he were admitting his mistake, Xie Lin couldn't help but chuckle.
"Haha, brother, where's your whip?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Lin met Xie Wang's murderous gaze and said sullenly, "Sister-in-law, I'm taking the mahjong tiles and leaving now. Take care."
"Wait, I'll help you carry them." Ling Shuangjiang walked to the mahjong table, her voice low: "You can't carry them all by yourself."
Xie Lin glanced at Xie Wang and said, "I can carry it."
Ling Shuangjiang: "We're one short for the three of us. I'll go with you guys."
Just as the two were about to leave the room, Ling Shuangjiang was suddenly swept up in Xie Wang's arms.
Xie Lin opened his eyes wide and hurriedly left with the mahjong tiles.
Holding Ling Shuangjiang in his arms, Xie Wang placed him on the sofa and sensibly knelt on the ground.
Ling Shuangjiang covered her face: "Xie Wang, get up."
Xie Wang buried his head in Ling Shuangjiang's chest: "I won't get up."
"You!" Ling Shuangjiang opened her eyes and gently patted Xie Wang's head. "Get up first, the ground is cold."
Xie Wang rested his head on Ling Shuangjiang's chest, his eyes bright as he looked at her: "Little Shuangjiang, you are so beautiful."
Ling Shuangjiang was so amused by Xie Wang that she didn't bother to push him away. She sighed and asked, "What were you thinking?"
"I wanted to surprise you; young couples often do this."
"Is this how everyone does it?" Ling Shuangjiang knew that quite a few people did have this fetish, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You call me master, what should I call you?"
Xie Wang nuzzled against him: "Big dog."
Ling Shuangjiang couldn't help but smile.
"If Aunt Ye sees us like this, what will she think of us?"
Xie Wang: "My mom probably won't think much of it. I'm more worried about what your mom thinks of me."
Ling Shuangjiang: "How can I think of you? Your image in my mother's mind has probably already collapsed."
Xie Wang grabbed Ling Shuangjiang's fingers and kissed them: "As long as my mother-in-law continues to like me, it doesn't matter whether my image collapses or not."
Ling Shuangjiang sighed softly, gently kneading his ears with her fingers. "Doggy, don't buy these weird things next time."
Hearing this address, Xie Wang was somewhat excited, and a small flame of fervor ignited in his eyes.
"You've already called me a dog, isn't it a bit of a waste not to use this whip?"
As they were talking, Ling Shuangjiang was already being pulled into Xie Wang's arms and led into the bedroom.
The leather whip lay quietly on the bed.
Xie Wang handed the whip to Ling Shuangjiang and bit his ear, saying, "Master, please be gentle with me."
Ling Shuangjiang took the whip and smiled at Xie Wang: "Turn off the light."

The following day, a sumptuous breakfast was served in the courtyard's restaurant, featuring more than 30 kinds of Suzhou-style dishes. This was specially arranged by Xie Wang to make Lin Yinci feel at home here.
Ye Wangshu glanced at the doorway: "Xie Lin, where are your brother and Shuangjiang?"
Xie Lin, biting into an egg pancake, mumbled, "He's probably still asleep."
"Go and call them, it's already eight o'clock." Ye Wangshu looked at the sun outside. "Your brother arranged for us to go hiking on the mountain across the street this morning, and the car will be here to pick us up soon."
Xie Lin was taken aback and said reluctantly, "Me go and call him? Will I even be able to come back? He's so grumpy when he wakes up."
Ye Wangshu glanced at him: "Are you going or not?"
Xie Lin pouted: "Go away! Go away! Go away!"
After Xie left, Ye Wangshu helped Lin Yinci pick up some food and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"
Lin Yinci: "That's good. Xiao Wang knows I'm not used to sleeping on a hard bed, so he specially arranged for them to do that."
Ye Wangshu felt a pang of heartache just thinking about Xie Wang's embarrassing state. "That's good."
Lin Yinci smiled and said, "I really like Xiao Wang. He is cheerful, responsible, and can make Shuangjiang more talkative."
Ye Wangshu: "I still prefer a quiet and well-behaved boy like Shuangjiang. My two children have caused me so much worry since they were little, and they are both more troublesome than the other."
A moment later, Xie Lin hurriedly returned.
Ye Wangshu looked up: "Are they awake?"
Xie Lin: "I'm awake. My brother will be here soon."
When Xie Wang arrived, he was alone. Ye Wangshu was puzzled: "Where is Shuangjiang?"
Xie Wang: "I didn't sleep well last night and I'm not feeling well, so we won't go this morning."
Ye Wangshu stood up anxiously: "Where do you feel unwell? Then hurry up and call the doctor over."
Lin Yinci put on her coat and planned to go see Ling Shuangjiang now.
Xie Wang was at a loss for words and stood there quite embarrassed.
Last night, the two played until 3 a.m., and Ling Shuangjiang almost fell asleep in the end.
They were going hiking this morning, but Ling Shuangjiang's current physical condition definitely prevents her from going.
Xie Lin, with a knowing look on his face, quietly whispered something in Ye Wangshu's ear. Ye Wangshu's expression suddenly turned strange, and he glared at Xie Lin: "Then you can take some breakfast over to eat with Shuangjiang."
Lin Yinci asked, puzzled, "I'll go with you."
