Chapter 1005: Wives and Concubines, Taking Turns

Lin Lang's steps were a little staggering, but extremely steady, and he reached the bed in a few steps.

With a soft "creak" sound, Mu Xuelan was gently placed on the bed, her body sinking into the soft mattress, and the sheets wrinkled slightly with her movements.

She subconsciously clutched the bed sheet beneath her, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to burst out of her chest.

Looking up, she saw Lin Lang standing beside the bed, his eyes burning like two flames, staring at her intently.

The next second, Lin Lang leaned over and pounced on her, his movements a little anxious, like a prisoner who had been suppressed for a long time and finally saw the woman he had been thinking about.

"Hubby, look how anxious you are..." Mu Xuelan was amused by Lin Lang's anxious look and laughed softly, but before she could finish her laughter, he covered her lips again and blocked her laughter.

Lin Lang's kisses fell on her forehead, nose, cheeks, and finally back to her lips, with an undeniable possessiveness.

Mu Xuelan closed her eyes and completely immersed herself in this surging love. She could feel that Lin Lang's kiss was filled with cherishment and true love for her.

The air around the bed grew hotter and hotter, entangling the breathing and heartbeats of the two people.

Mu Xuelan's eyes sparkled with tears. She gradually loosened her hands that were clutching the bed sheet and instead hugged Lin Lang's back, feeling his warm body temperature, like a little animal that had found a safe nest.

The only sound in the room was the sound of each other's breathing, lingering and cloyingly sweet...

At noon that day.

In the huge restaurant of the Mu Mansion villa, only Zhou Mengyao and Pan Xiaoting were busy.

Not long after the waiter from the Li Hai Hotel left, more than a dozen exquisite lunch boxes printed with the hotel logo were placed one by one on the long dining table by two people.

The moment you open the lunch box, the rich aroma fills the restaurant.

The rich and sweet aroma of Shanghai-style braised pork, the fresh and tender fragrance of steamed sea bass, the elegant tea fragrance of Longjing shrimp, the oil-braised prawns that look delicious, the scallion-fried sea cucumber, braised abalone, and the refreshing aroma of several seasonal side dishes, all intertwined together to whet one's appetite.

Pan Xiaoting stared at the table full of dazzling dishes, her stomach couldn't help but growl twice. She pouted her rosy little mouth and pulled at the corner of Zhou Mengyao's clothes.

"Sister Mengyao, look how delicious this food is! I didn't have breakfast when I came here, so I look so hungry! But why haven't Brother Lang and Sister Xueman come out yet? They've been upstairs all morning. Are they going to toss and turn in bed until dark?"

Zhou Mengyao's eyes swept over the delicious food, but she felt like something was weighing on her heart, and even the aroma of the food seemed to fade a little.

She picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks from their packaging, unwrapped them, and handed them to Pan Xiaoting, saying with a feigned casualness, "Never mind them. The food will get cold if we wait any longer. Let's eat first."

Pan Xiaoting took the chopsticks, stuck out her tongue, and her eyes curved into crescents. "Is this okay? Would it be inappropriate for us to start eating first? Otherwise... I'll call Brother Lang and Sister Xueman and ask them how long it will take them to finish."

Zhou Mengyao had already picked up a piece of crystal shrimp dumpling with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. She chewed it carefully and said vaguely, "Why are you calling? Disturbing them at this time will obviously spoil their fun, right?"

"People who don't know the truth might think you're just trying to win my favor. Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. Let's just eat our own food. Filling our stomachs is the most important thing."

"Okay~" Pan Xiaoting drew out the tone, giggled, and without hesitation, picked up the chopsticks and reached for her favorite sweet and sour spare ribs.

She ate in small bites, her eyes sparkling. As she chewed, she couldn't help but exclaim, "The food at the Longhai Restaurant is really delicious. The ribs are just the right amount of sweet and sour, and the meat is so tender."

"It's just that the food at the Longhai Restaurant is too expensive. I usually can't afford to eat there, hehe..."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengyao picked up some food for Pan Xiaoting and said, "If Lin Lang doesn't have time to take you there in the future, and you want to eat at the Longhai Restaurant, just call me and I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this, Pan Xiaoting immediately raised her head, a smile blossoming on her face, and said sweetly, "Wow, Sister Mengyao, you are so kind! You love me even more than Brother Lang!"

Zhou Mengyao was amused by her and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You are my husband's little wife. If I don't love you, who will? The two of us are good sisters and family. What's the difference between us?"

Pan Xiaoting's smile deepened as she listened to this. She looked at Zhou Mengyao with curiosity and admiration in her eyes. "Sister Mengyao, honestly, how do you manage to be so open-minded?"

"If I were the daughter of a prominent family, with a fortune worth tens of billions to inherit, and if Brother Lang had so many women around him, I would definitely be jealous and angry a long time ago."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengyao's smile faded a little. She sighed softly and replied with a hint of self-mockery, "As for me, Lin Lang has worn me down little by little."

"At the beginning, I was competing with Chu Yiren for his affection. When I found out he was having an affair with another woman behind my back, I felt like needles were pricking my heart. I was extremely jealous and I hid away and cried many times."

"Later, as time went on, I gradually stopped getting angry and jealous."

Pan Xiaoting paused as she picked up the food. She blinked her clear eyes and looked at Zhou Mengyao, her tone filled with a bit of heartache: "Sister Mengyao, aren't you being too wronged by this?"

Zhou Mengyao picked up a piece of greens with chopsticks and chewed slowly, a faint smile on her lips: "Aggrieved? Maybe. But when it comes to love, there are no such things as having the best of both worlds."

"Lin Lang isn't a bad person, he just can't live without women because of all the beautiful women around him. If I keep pestering him, it will only make me uncomfortable, and he won't be happy either. Why bother?"

Pan Xiaoting listened with a serious look on her face. She stuffed another piece of scallion-fried sea cucumber into her mouth and said vaguely, "Brother Lang is really good. He has an indescribable energy that is very attractive."

Zhou Mengyao changed her tone and said with a smile, "Actually, the main reason I can tolerate Lin Lang having so many women is that he risked his life to save me twice. My life belongs to him, so why should I bother with him?"

Pan Xiaoting asked curiously, "When did Brother Lang save your life?"

Zhou Mengyao replied while eating, "I won't tell you in detail how he saved my life. Anyway, if Lin Lang can risk his life for me, I can die for him too."

After hearing this, Pan Xiaoting exclaimed, "Sister Mengyao, I never thought you and Brother Lang were in a life-or-death love."

Zhou Mengyao said proudly, "Of course. Lin Lang even saved my mother's life twice. Think about it, what's the point of me being jealous?"

"Arguing all the time not only hurts relationships, but also makes you upset. It's better to be open-minded and be together happily. That's more comfortable."

Pan Xiaoting nodded, smiled and picked up another piece of shrimp and put it into her mouth, savoring Zhou Mengyao's words while eating.

After a few seconds, she said with a smile: "Sister Mengyao, I want to learn from you and not be jealous of other women. This will save Brother Lang from worrying and myself from worrying too."

"Silly girl, you are very well-behaved, sensible and excellent. There is nothing you need to learn from me." Zhou Mengyao reached out and rubbed Pan Xiaoting's hair, with genuine warmth in her eyes.

Pan Xiaoting said with a giggle, "Sister Mengyao, since we are all family, I won't say such polite words. From now on, Sister Xueman and I will be good to each other and take care of each other in the Lin family. Not being bullied by Chu Yiren, the first wife, is better than anything else."

Zhou Mengyao smiled and said, "Silly girl, if Chu Yiren wants to bully you, no one can do anything to her. She only never embarrasses me because our two families are old friends and my father and her father were close friends."

"There was even one time when I was bullied by the son-in-law of the deputy mayor of Kyoto. It was Chu Yiren who stood up for me in Kyoto and broke his arm on the spot!"

Pan Xiaoting was stunned after hearing this and said, "No way? You and Chu Yiren are rivals in love, and she actually broke the arm of the son-in-law of the deputy mayor of Kyoto just to stand up for you?"

Zhou Mengyao replied, "Yes, I was also surprised at the time. I even couldn't understand why she would go to such lengths to make trouble for the Deputy Mayor of Kyoto just to stand up for me."

"Later I figured it out. Chu Yiren is protective of her man's concubine and can't bear to see her man's concubine being bullied. Even if she doesn't like me as a love rival, she can't let her man's woman be humiliated."

"From this, it can be seen that Chu Yiren's mind, scheming, and methods, and even her family background, are more suitable to be Lin Lang's main wife. From that day on, I decided not to compete with Chu Yiren for the position of main wife."

When Pan Xiaoting heard this, her eyes widened and she said fearfully, "Sister Mengyao, if Chu Yiren knew I was Brother Lang's mistress, would she send someone to kill me?"

Zhou Mengyao smiled and said, "No, Lin Lang has already reached a tacit understanding with Chu Yiren. As long as he feeds Chu Yiren, the excess public grain can be given to other concubines."

"Uh...Brother Lang is awesome!" Pan Xiaoting giggled, and the uneasiness in her heart dissipated a lot, and she started eating like a greedy cat again.

Zhou Mengyao was amused by the way Pan Xiaoting was concentrating on eating, and she also ate lunch with her with relish.

As the two were chatting and laughing, the door of the restaurant was gently pushed open, and Lin Lang walked out holding Mu Xuelan's hand.

The blush on Mu Xuelan's cheeks had not completely faded. When she saw the two people at the dining table, her eyes became evasive and she subconsciously shrank behind Lin Lang.

Lin Lang was quite calm and laughed loudly, "Hey, are you ready to eat? You didn't even wait for us."

Pan Xiaoting's mouth was full, and she called out "Brother Lang" vaguely. Then, realizing that the name was wrong, she quickly changed it to "husband."

Zhou Mengyao half-jokingly said, "Wait until you two are done with your lovemaking in bed? If we wait any longer, the food will get cold. Xiaoting and I will eat first."

Pan Xiaoting said with a smile, "Sister Xueman, you two should sit down and eat quickly. It's still hot."

Lin Lang took Mu Xuelan to the dining table and sat down. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. The three women at the table all looked at Lin Lang at the same time, to see who he would serve first.

Lin Lang wasn't stupid either. He started eating the sweet and sour spareribs himself, pretending to be dumbfounded and saying, "Why are you three looking at me like that if you're not eating any food?"

The three beautiful, lovely women said in unison: "Every time you eat with me, don't you give me the first dish you pick up with your chopsticks?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mengyao, Mu Xueman and Pan Xiaoting laughed at the same time.

The sunlight poured into the villa restaurant through the window, falling on the table full of food and on the family of four sitting around it. The air was filled with the aroma of food, and there was an indescribable, subtle atmosphere between them.

Lin Lang wolfed down his meal until he was half full. Then he stood up from the dining chair, took Pan Xiaoting's hand and said, "Baby, come with me to the bedroom. I have something I want to talk to you about alone."

Pan Xiaoting's face turned red all of a sudden. She knew very well why Lin Lang took her to the bedroom, and she hurriedly looked at Zhou Mengyao for help.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mengyao narrowed her eyes and smiled wickedly, saying generously, "Go ahead, you two can have a good chat in the bedroom. You must finish it before dinner. After dinner, it will be Lin Lang and I's turn to chat."
