Shen Tian Er couldn't help but weakly punch the man's shoulder, but Mu Beiming only kissed her lips more forcefully.
"Umm, my brother is here! You shameless guy, I still want to live! There will be no good days ahead!"
Mu Beiming pulled back slightly, then deliberately leaned in to kiss her a few more times.
Shen Jinghui remarked, "I can't even bear to look outside! My eyelids are twitching; this guy is definitely doing it on purpose!"
Although he was indeed older than her, with his status as Da Jiu, if he wanted to marry her sister, he had to acknowledge it!
"Has your brother never been in a relationship? Hurry up and find him someone! Single dogs don’t understand love!" Mu Beiming's eyes sparkled with mischief as he continued to caress her soft lips.
Shen Tian Er was still dazed from the kisses. It was only now that she realized how awkward her position was, tightly held by him. Panicking, she struggled to push him away and attempted to get off his lap.
Her cheeks flushed bright red as she muttered, "You big pervert!"
In a good mood, Mu Beiming playfully nipped at her soft ear and said, "Only a pervert towards you!" He had never reacted so quickly before!
"Have you had someone before? Do you have a girlfriend? How many?" Suddenly, a nerve in Shen Tian Er's brain tightened!
However, this wasn't the right time to discuss such matters, especially with someone lurking outside! If they didn’t go out soon, who knew how many more would come calling?
Sure enough, as Shen Tian Er finally got down, her third brother Gu Xiaobai appeared.
"Are you ready to fight me?"
Mu Beiming found it amusing watching the two brothers-in-law; they really thought he was the main event! Both were dressed comfortably in sportswear, looking ready for a showdown.
Were they preparing to back up their sister? But he hadn’t done anything yet!
"Fighting you might not be the best idea right now. Tonight, if you dare come again, you certainly have guts!"
"It’s late now; don’t call my sister out at midnight again! At least until you two sort things out, I won’t give you a chance!"
"Starting tomorrow, the curfew at home is set for eight o'clock. During the day, report your whereabouts every half hour. Shen Tian Er, you better behave!"
Shen Tian Er exclaimed, "Brother, are you sick? Are you crazy? Or do you just have a girlfriend deficiency? Why are you staring at me?"
"Of course! If I don’t keep an eye on my little brother’s girl, who will protect her from being devoured?" Shen Jinghui said indignantly.
Mu Beiming laughed heartily. "Am I that easy to guard against?"
"Alright! It's cold outside, hurry up. Let's set a time for the next few days; I will come to visit. Leave our issues to me, okay?"
Mu Beiming's words were not a question but rather a reassuring statement, like a calming balm that settled in Shen Tian Er's heart. She found herself unable to resist his confidence and increasingly admired the man before her.
Before leaving, Shen Tian Er couldn't help herself; under the watchful eyes of her two older brothers, she gave Mu Beiming a big hug and even planted a sweet kiss on his lips. Compared to the passionate kiss they shared in the car earlier, this moment felt even more stirring to Mu Beiming, as if his heart had been gently stirred.
Sometimes, feelings surge like a dam bursting, overwhelming and unstoppable! Mu Beiming realized that all his previous hesitations were merely signs of his own surrender.
The next day, Shen Jingyu and Su Xing nearly overslept. The alarm rang incessantly with its piercing sound as Su Xing struggled to get out of bed. Shen Jingyu knew he had been a bit excessive the night before, but the excitement had been beyond his control.
So that morning, amidst Su Xing's reproachful glances, Shen Jingyu took on the role of a human pillow. He helped her wash up, personally assisted her in changing clothes, and then half-embraced her as they went to the ancestral home to pay respects and offer tea to their grandparents.
After completing their tasks, they barely had time to rest when Mu Beiming made a grand entrance for a visit, accompanied by his parents since the Shen family was on holiday. The three of them arrived together!
Oh! By the way! After some gossiping with her friends, Su Xing learned that Mu Beiyao also considered himself part of Mu Beiming's family and insisted on making an appearance as well.
Thus, that noon, the Shen family's dining room was bustling with activity. The newlyweds surprisingly took on the role of distinguished guests from their families.
Watching Mu Beiming's family of four respectfully catering to Shen Huai Min's family of four, Shen Jingyu and Su Xing felt life was becoming increasingly vibrant. They knew they would have more family moments like this in the future.
It seemed their pasts of lonely childhoods were finally turning into something beautiful.
Shen Tian Er spent that morning in a bit of a daze; she hadn't expected Mu Beiming's family to arrive so soon after their meeting last night.
Mu Beiming's mother presented her with a family heirloom emerald, speaking so plainly that it left no room for criticism. "Sweetheart," she said, "Mu Beiming is a fool; he made you suffer last night. I gave him a good talking-to! This gift is my apology! He'll spend his life serving you—how about that?" Mu Beiming's mother whispered this sweetly into Shen Tian Er's ear.
This little daughter-in-law was completely charmed by her words.
Under the attentive care of Shen Tian Er and Mu Beiming, she hardly caught what their parents and elders were discussing.
In any case, they both ended up with an opportunity for a smooth relationship! There were no excessive promises made; they simply gained everyone's support.
As the days passed, Su Xing's belly grew rounder, and the workload that Shen Jingyu had quietly reduced became significantly lighter. Su Xing spent her days idly, with no enjoyment other than gossiping.
Shen Tian Er was busy with her romance, coming home late every night, while Gu Tongtong was still oblivious to love, full of talk about strong women and virtues, focusing on her career. Occasionally, she would join Su Xing in discussing Shen Tian Er!
"Place your bets, sister-in-law! Do you think my sister will marry first and then have kids, or will she get pregnant before marriage?"
Su Xing's eyes widened in shock. "Tian Er is staying out all night? When did this happen? How come I didn't know? She's been home every day; how could I miss such crucial information?"
"Isn't it because Mu Beiyao is getting married? Her future mother-in-law took her in under the pretense of helping!"
"Who doesn't know that mothers-in-law always favor their sons? If my sister can stay at her house, then Mu Beiming must be up to something!"
Su Xing remarked, "Little girl, it's not that you're clueless; you truly understand everything! If your sister wants to marry him and wants to do it soon, he has to make a move. But I estimate that Mu Beiming won't act recklessly. If something goes wrong, he won't have a good explanation, right? Your older brother has probably warned him!"
Gu Tongtong chuckled. "Sister-in-law, don't you know that my brother is busy all day with military matters and learning how to be a good dad? The rest of his time is spent taking care of you and keeping you company. When has he ever cared about us adopted sisters?!"
Su Xing sighed. "Looks like I have to enlighten my man again! The little sisters are all complaining!"
