Chapter 1003: 3 wives and 4 concubines, the envy of others

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the Mu residence, casting mottled shadows on the floor of the chess and card room on the second floor.

An automatic mahjong machine in the entertainment room was running, making a crisp and pleasant sound of shuffling cards.

Lin Lang sat leisurely on one side of the mahjong table, twisting the cards he had just picked up with his fingertips, his eyes occasionally glancing at Zhou Mengyao opposite him with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

Zhou Mengyao frowned slightly, as if thinking about which card to play, and her white fingers tapped lightly on the smooth dominoes.

Mu Xuelan next to her was elegant and played cards calmly.

Pan Xiaoting on the opposite side seemed much more lively, and her eyes lit up from time to time when she got a good card.

"Three cakes." Mu Xuelan gently pushed out a card.

"Four." Zhou Mengyao followed closely behind.

"Sixty thousand." Lin Lang's voice was gentle.

"Pong!" Pan Xiaoting was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She immediately brought the cards over with a smug smile on her face.

The game progressed slowly among the players as they played back and forth in a relaxed atmosphere.

Suddenly, Mu Xueman seemed to have thought of something. As she played her cards, she looked up at Zhou Mengyao, her tone filled with hesitation and curiosity: "Mengyao, speaking of which, I had a very unusual dream during my nap yesterday."

Zhou Mengyao looked up at Mu Xuelan and motioned her to continue.

"I dreamed that you and Lin Lang were getting married. It was a very lively scene, and I was your bridesmaid." Mu Xuelan's lips curved into a smile.

Zhou Mengyao's hand that was grabbing the cards suddenly stopped, her fingertips lingering on the card she had just picked up, and her heart skipped a beat.

She thought: No way? Could it be that Xue Man also entered Lin Lang's dream yesterday?

Before Zhou Mengyao could think any more, Pan Xiaoting, who was standing beside her, exclaimed in exaggerated amazement, "Wow! Sister Xueman, what a coincidence! I had the same dream yesterday!"

She leaned forward excitedly, her eyes sparkling, and spoke rapidly, "I also dreamed of being a bridesmaid for Sister Mengyao. That dream wedding was so grand!"

Brother Lang, dressed in a neat black suit and bow tie, appeared riding a legendary unicorn. The unicorn's mane sparkled in the sun. He was so handsome!

"Uh..." Zhou Mengyao was shocked after hearing this. She didn't expect that Pan Xiaoting also attended her and Lin Lang's wedding in her dream. She even remembered that she was a bridesmaid.

Lin Lang, with a smile on his face, looked at Pan Xiaoting and continued playfully: "And more,"

She seemed to have opened a chatterbox and couldn't stop at all. "What's even more exaggerated is that the witness is Chu Yiren!"

"And Uncle Zhou," Pan Xiaoting couldn't help laughing when she said this. "Uncle Zhou looked like an angel, flapping a pair of huge wings and flying down from the sky. He was chubby and had a beer belly, which was really funny. He looked like a fat angel with wings!"

Zhou Mengyao was both angry and amused. She reached out and gently patted Pan Xiaoting, covering her mouth with her hands and laughing, "You annoying guy! How can you say that about my dad?"

Pan Xiaoting, however, smiled and retorted confidently, "That's right. Uncle Zhou's angel costume looks like a fat man with wings. His beer belly is so obvious, it's so cute!"

Mu Xueman's smile gradually turned into surprise. She looked at Pan Xiaoting with an incredulous expression, "Xiaoting, how come what you said... is exactly the same as what I dreamed about? Even Uncle Zhou's appearance is exactly the same."

She turned to look at Zhou Mengyao, her eyes full of inquiry: "Mengyao, you...you didn't have the same dream, did you?"

Zhou Mengyao looked at the two people's surprised and expectant eyes, and the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a wonderful sense of connection.

She did not deny it, but just smiled and nodded slightly.

For a moment, the mahjong table fell silent, leaving only an atmosphere of surprise.

The three beauties looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

An identical dream appeared in the dreams of three of them at the same time. This was too bizarre...

Lin Lang had been looking at them with a smile on his face. Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat tense, he slowly spoke, breaking the silence: "It seems that Mengyao and I are not the only ones who remember last night's dream."

His voice was gentle, but like a stone thrown into a lake, it instantly caused even greater ripples in the hearts of the three people.

Pan Xiaoting was the first to react, her eyes widening. "Brother Lang, did you really dream of getting married to Sister Mengyao while you were taking a nap yesterday?"

Lin Lang smiled and nodded, tapping the table lightly with his fingertips: "Yeah, I had this dream too. I remember every detail of the dream very clearly."

Even the usually composed Mu Xueman couldn't help but gasp. "Four people...had the same dream? What the hell is going on?"

Zhou Mengyao looked at the three people around her and suddenly felt that yesterday's dream wedding was no longer an illusory illusion, but a real memory that not only belonged to her and Lin Lang.

Then, Zhou Mengyao grabbed a mahjong tile, gently placed it on the table, and said perfunctorily: "It's no big deal. You two are Lin Lang's concubines. The four of us have an emotional connection. It's nothing to share the same dream."

Pan Xiaoting was a little surprised that Zhou Mengyao would expose in public that she was also Lin Lang's concubine, and her face turned pale with fright.

She was so shocked that the cards in her hand fell to the table with a "bang". Her eyes widened. She first looked at Lin Lang, and then looked guiltily at her godsister Mu Xuelan who was sitting across the mahjong table.

"Xiaoting, actually Mengyao and I have known for a long time that you and Lin Lang are having an affair, but we just didn't say it out loud." Mu Xuelan looked at the mahjong tiles in front of her with a cold face.

"Uh... Sister Xueman, please listen to my explanation. This is not Brother Lang's fault. I was the one who seduced him. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't take your anger out on Brother Lang." Pan Xiaoting was so nervous that she almost cried.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Mu Xueman burst into laughter and said generously: "Look at you, don't be so nervous, I didn't say that you can't be Lin Lang's mistress."

After hearing this, Pan Xiaoting was surprised and said, "Sister Xueman, does that mean you don't object to my relationship with Brother Lang?"

Mu Xueman said sadly, "It's useless for me to object. Besides, Lin Lang has so many women, he can have one more like you. Now Mengyao, the three of us are allies on the same front. When we unite and compete for favor with other concubines in the future, won't we be more competitive?"

After hearing this, Pan Xiaoting wiped the sweat off her forehead and said with a chuckle, "I'm so happy to hear you say that, Sister Xueman. I can finally let go of my worries."

Zhou Mengyao laughed and teased, "Xiaoting, you're so scared that your body is still shaking. I can see that you're really afraid that Xueman will be angry with you."

"Uh...yes!" Pan Xiaoting smiled awkwardly and played the mahjong tiles.

In front of Zhou Mengyao and Mu Xueman, Lin Lang held Pan Xiaoting's hand at the mahjong table.

He said gently, "Don't be afraid. This invisible bomb you've been worrying about, Mengyao will help you break through the window paper and remove it today. From now on, just call me husband openly."

Pan Xiaoting shyly withdrew her hand and said embarrassedly, "No, how dare I act so impudently in front of Sister Mengyao and Sister Xueman? Please stop it."

Zhou Mengyao smiled and teased, "Come on, come on, don't control yourself. Let Xue Man and I hear it. Is it sweet for you to call Lin Lang your husband?"

After hearing this, Pan Xiaoting's face, which had just turned pale with fear, suddenly turned red again. She scratched her head and laughed awkwardly, "Don't...don't make trouble, Sister Mengyao. I'm a little embarrassed and ashamed right now."

Mu Xueman also joined in the fun and couldn't help laughing as she said, "Xiaoting, you weren't shy when you and Lin Lang rolled onto the same bed. Now, why are you shy about calling Lin Lang 'husband' in front of Mengyao and me?"

"Uh... Sister Xueman, what you said makes me so ashamed! I... I was wrong, please forgive me!" Pan Xiaoting begged for mercy at a loss.

Mu Xueman continued to smile and said, "I don't really blame you, and I can't say that. When I first realized that you and Lin Lang were having an affair, I was sulking for a few days."

"Later, I figured it out. It's better to keep good things in the family. If I give you to Lin Lang, we will go from being sworn sisters to being daughters-in-law of the Lin family. We will really become a family. It's pretty good." Mu Xueman is still very generous and sensible.

After hearing this, Pan Xiaoting finally dared to straighten her back and speak, smiling sweetly and happily, "Sister Xueman, it's really great that you think this way, hehe..."

At this time, Lin Lang finally spoke: "Baby, now that everything is clear, don't be shy, just call me husband."

Pan Xiaoting cast her gaze towards Lin Lang again, bit her red lips shyly, nodded slightly, and called out softly in a mosquito-like voice, "Husband!"

Lin Lang felt delighted after hearing this, but he said, "Your voice was too soft, like a mosquito's hum. I didn't even hear it. Xue Man, did you hear it clearly?"

Mu Xueman smiled evilly and shook her head, "I didn't hear clearly, Mengyao, did you hear clearly?"

Zhou Mengyao couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't hear clearly either. Call me husband again, louder this time, and show your full aura like the nine-ball goddess during the game."

Pan Xiaoting was urged by the two people, her cheeks turned as red as ripe cherries, and her hands were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt. She had never been so nervous even when playing in international competitions.

She secretly glanced up at Lin Lang, then quickly lowered her head. It was as if something was stuck in her throat. After a long while, she finally shouted with a trembling voice, a little louder than before: "Husband..."

The cry was soft and quick, with a hint of shyness in the ending, and it seemed to be blown away by the wind as soon as it came out of its mouth.

Lin Lang deliberately put on a stern face, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes: "Hey, that's right, but can you speak a little louder? My ears have been a little bit bad lately."

Pan Xiaoting was really at her wit's end. She took a deep breath, as if mustering up all her courage. Her face flushed red, and she called out in a soft but much clearer voice, "Husband..."

After shouting, she quickly lowered her head, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and her neck was completely red.

Lin Lang then responded with satisfaction: "Hey, my dear wife."

Zhou Mengyao was watching from the side with great amusement, and took the opportunity to joke, "Oh, that call of husband is so sweet that it makes my teeth melt. Xiaoting, why didn't you just call him like that earlier and stop hiding it?"

Mu Xueman couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, her eyes full of mischief: "That's right, look how shy you are."

Pan Xiaoting lowered her head even lower after hearing what the two said, her shoulders shaking slightly. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. She could only mutter in her heart, these two people are so mean.

At this moment, Lin Lang stood up from the chair, took Mu Xueman's hand and said, "Come on, honey, to reward you for being so generous and not blaming Xiaoting, your husband will take you to the bedroom now and reward you well."

After hearing this, Mu Xueman's face flushed instantly. She shyly slapped Lin Lang's hand away and whispered, "Stop it. Xiaoting and Mengyao are still here. What are you doing?"

Lin Lang took Mu Xueman's hand again, pulled her up, put his arm around her waist, kissed her pretty face, and said lovingly, "Mengyao specifically told me yesterday to spend time with you today to ease your longing for me."

Mu Xuelan felt warm in her heart after hearing this, and she quickly looked shyly at Zhou Mengyao.

Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly and said, "Go ahead, don't be shy. Xiaoting and I are going to the KTV to sing. You two just need to come out before lunch. I'll call and order food from the Longhai Hotel."
