The core issue is, Ning Yuhuan feels Xu Lin is too outstanding, and she doesn't match up to him.

Ning Yuhuan comes from a very ordinary family background.

"Don't overthink, okay? Isn't money meant to be spent? I don't lack money now, so my quality of life should improve. Otherwise, why earn so much money? What if I step out tomorrow and get hit by a car..."

Xu Lin didn't finish before the senior interrupted him.

"Don't say things like that!"

The senior quickly said, "You shouldn't say things like that! Confucius said one shouldn't talk about supernatural beings or spirits. You don't have to believe, but you should keep a respectful distance!"

Xu Lin is now quite skilled in translating ancient texts.

The quote refers to how Confucius didn't talk about mythical and supernatural events, didn't believe in them, but maintained that people should respect them. You don't have to believe, but you should not be disrespectful, so don't go around saying such things.

The senior was telling Xu Lin not to speak carelessly.

Xu Lin merely smiled faintly, "It's alright, I was just joking."

"Joking isn't allowed! Not even a sentence or a word!"

"Then I won't say it from now on!"

Xu Lin was playing with the other's hair, "Senior, do you want to eat steak? I'll make it for you!"

"Let me do it, I've learned how to make steak."

"You can make steak?" Xu Lin was surprised.

"I learned it at my aunt's house before, but it wasn't as expensive as the steaks in the fridge."

"It's all about the same!"

Xu Lin was also looking forward to it, "Senior, let me try your cooking skills!"

Actually, Xu Lin didn't know, Ning Yuhuan's cooking skills are quite good. For instance, she's often the one cooking at home, and her culinary talent shows through practice.

Making steak is quite complex, but fortunately, Xu Lin has no shortage of tools and ingredients here.

After fiddling around for about an hour, Ning Yuhuan finally produced a delicious, juicy steak that looked temptingly appetizing.

Even though the range hood was on all the time, the air was filled with the fragrant smell of steak.

"Hubby, try it!"

"It looks very nice!"

Ning Yuhuan used a steak knife to cut the steak into pieces, picked up a piece with chopsticks, and fed Xu Lin.

They don't bother with using forks for steak, opting to use chopsticks directly.

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!"

Xu Lin praised, "Senior, your cooking skills are impressive!"

"Of course!"

Ning Yuhuan was a bit proud after the compliment.

The time was around nine at night, and Ning Yuhuan, having cooked steak, felt she had an odor on her, so she went to take a shower.

As for Xu Lin?

He was already undressed and waiting in the room.

"Where are you?"

Rong Xiyi sent a message to Xu Lin, half an hour ago, while he was eating steak and hadn't replied.

"At the rental place."

"Then I'm coming over!"

"No! I'm here with the senior!"

Rong Xiyi did not reply, and Xu Lin did not think much of it.

Ning Yuhuan was taking a shower in the small bathroom on the second floor.

After the shower, she walked into the room with a mix of anxiety and nervousness.

"Why are you still dressed?"

Xu Lin pulled Ning Yuhuan over, embraced her, and quickly stripped her clothes off.

Ning Yuhuan's relatives were already gone.

"Turn off the light!"

Ning Yuhuan was still so shy, reaching out to turn off the light.

"If the light's off, you can't see anything. There's only bright light here, no dim light. If it's off, what if I get the wrong spot?"

"How could you get the wrong spot?"

Ning Yuhuan covered her eyes.

"Of course, you can't see. What if I end up in the wrong place? That's hard to explain."

Xu Lin let out a mischievous laugh; he didn't even have a desk lamp there.

"Then I'll turn on my phone's light."

"Dream on! Tonight with the light on!"

Xu Lin didn't care about anything else; Ning Yuhuan's relatives had left, and Xu Lin held on for several days.

Rong Xiyi doesn't count.

"Don't be so hasty..."

Ning Yuhuan felt helpless.

"Senior, do twin ponytails!"

"Alright!"

Ning Yuhuan had no choice but to do twin ponytails for Xu Lin.

However, half an hour later, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhuan were unaware that the downstairs door was pushed open, and Rong Xiyi stealthily came in, closing the door behind her.

Luckily, Xu Lin didn't lock it, or Rong Xiyi wouldn't have been able to get in.

But, she got in smoothly.

Upon entering, Rong Xiyi immediately heard the noises from upstairs.

She was all too familiar with it.

Then, she cautiously ascended the stairs, making no sound.

Xu Lin and Ning Yuhuan hadn't even closed the room door. When she was halfway up the stairs, Rong Xiyi saw through the doorway Xu Lin standing by the bed, with his back to the entry, presenting the powerful and imposing back that surpassed the so-called sculptures of Ancient Greece, while Ning Yuhuan was...

This sight made Rong Xiyi's face flush with heat, heart racing, and at the same time sparked complex emotions of anger, suppression, and discomfort intertwined.

For instance, she just wanted to barge in and slap Ning Yuhuan hard across the face, demanding she get out of this house.

Xu Lin is her man!

But Rong Xiyi forcibly held back; she didn't let anger cloud her judgment, knowing she had to be rational.

Otherwise, she could lose control of the situation, and Xu Lin might become furious and break up with her.

Thus Rong Xiyi refrained from acting rashly.

Rong Xiyi went into the adjacent guest room, locked the door, and remained silent.

She waited patiently.

Finally, past one o'clock at night, the other side went silent.

Ning Yuhuan was already asleep; Xu Lin was about to sleep too but intended to use the toilet first.

But when he returned, he yawned and spotted a girl standing inside the guest room door.

How does one describe this scene?

Xu Lin was nearly terrified when he saw in the dimly lit room, the door held an image of a girl with long hair draped over her shoulders.
