Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 395 Lin Chen's Daily Life

Lin Chen stepped out of the door and stood in the corridor. The sea breeze rushed towards him, carrying a salty and fishy smell.

The moon hung overhead, illuminating the deck with a blinding white light, as if it were covered in a layer of frost.

He didn't rush to leave, but leaned against the railing, took out a Dragon Tiger Golden Pill from his ring, and swallowed it.

He was thinking about what Liu Shengxue had just said.

To be honest, Shan Lingkongya's temperament and figure... are really something else.

Especially during dinner, when she bent down to pick up food, a bit of white skin was exposed at her neckline, and Lin Chen almost bit his chopsticks in half.

But what can he do?

Some things are not the same as thinking about them and doing them.

"Let nature take its course," Lin Chen muttered to himself.

Just then, I heard footsteps behind me, very light, like a cat stepping on the floor.

Lin Chen didn't turn around; he knew who it was just from the sound of the footsteps.

"Why aren't you asleep so late?"

Piao Piao emerged from the shadows, carrying a tray with a bowl of soup on it.

She was wearing a white nightgown, her hair was casually tied in a bun, and she wasn't wearing makeup, but her skin was glowing white.

"Brother-in-law," she said softly, "I was worried you'd be hungry tonight, so I made you a bowl of... soup."

Lin Chen glanced at her; Piaopiao lowered her head, her ears burning red.

He reached out and picked up the bowl, his fingertips deliberately touching Liu Sheng Piaopiao's fingers, causing Piaopiao to shudder as if she had been electrocuted.

"Thanks," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Piao Piao shook her head and turned to run away.

"Wait a moment."

Piao Piao paused, frozen in place, her back to Lin Chen, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Lin Chen held the soup, took a sip, and found it tasted pretty good; it warmed him up from head to toe.

This girl is so understanding!

Lin Chen sighed inwardly, then casually asked:

"What's wrong with you these past few days? You haven't been eating properly, and you've lost weight."

Piao Piao lowered her head and whispered, "No...no."

"Not yet?" Lin Chen chuckled. "Do you think I'm blind?"

Piao Piao bit her lip and remained silent.

Lin Chen finished his soup, put the bowl back on the tray, and walked over to Liu Sheng Piaopiao.

Piaopiao lowered her head even further, her chin almost touching her chest.

"Don't overthink it, just eat well and take care of yourself." Lin Chen sighed softly.

"When the time comes, I will naturally take you."

Piao Piao suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, her mouth agape, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Her face flushed red instantly, from her neck all the way to her ears, like a boiled shrimp.

Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw her expression.

"Alright, go back to sleep."

Piao Piao was stunned for several seconds before she reacted, picked up the tray, turned around and ran.

He ran a couple of steps, then stopped, glanced back at Lin Chen, his lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and ran off in a flash.

Even after she had run quite a distance, Lin Chen could still hear her footsteps, thumping like drums.

Lin Chen shook his head and turned to walk towards Yao Yao's room.

Lin Chen paused for a moment as he passed Shan Lingkongya's room.

A sliver of dim light shone through the crack in the door, and the faint sounds of people moving around inside could be heard.

Lin Chen stared at the door for two seconds, took a deep breath, and quickened his pace.

……

Yao Yao was lying on the bed reading a book, her two legs were raised and swinging back and forth, her toes were white and looked like two sections of lotus root.

She was wearing a thin nightgown, the material of which was very sheer. Moonlight shone through the window, illuminating her body and revealing her curves in a way that was both visible and hidden.

When Yao Yao saw Lin Chen come in, her eyes lit up. She threw down her book, jumped off the bed, pounced on him, and hugged his neck, hanging on him like a koala.

"My husband! You've finally arrived!"

Her voice was coquettish, and she rubbed her face against Lin Chen's chest like a kitten.

Lin Chen put his arm around her waist and patted her bottom: "Did you have fun fishing today?"

"So happy!" Yao Yao looked up, her eyes sparkling. "I'm going fishing again tomorrow! I want to catch one even bigger than today!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go fishing with you tomorrow."

Yao Yao squirmed and writhed in Lin Chen's arms, quite restless.

Her hands wandered restlessly over Lin Chen's chest, her nails lightly grazing his skin, making it tickle.

"My husband," she said, her voice lowering, with a hint of coquetry.

"You've been talking to Yagyu-neechan quite a lot lately, haven't you?"

Lin Chen looked down at her: "Jealous?"

"No, I didn't!" Yao Yao pouted. "I just... I just missed you too."

Lin Chen smiled and picked her up in his arms.

Yao Yao exclaimed in surprise, hugged Lin Chen's neck tightly, buried her face in his shoulder, and her ears turned red.

Lin Chen placed her on the bed, and the bed frame creaked.

Yao Yao lay on the bed, her hair scattered all over the pillow, her eyes watery as she looked at Lin Chen, her lips slightly parted.

Lin Chen leaned down and whispered something in her ear.

Yao Yao's face flushed instantly, turning red all the way to the roots of her neck, and she reached out and punched him lightly.

"You're so bad!"

Lin Chen laughed heartily.

The moonlight shone in through the window, illuminating the two of them.

About half an hour later, Lin Chen came out of Yao Yao's room.

Yao Yao lay on the bed, the blanket pulled up to her chin, revealing only her rosy face, her eyes half-open and half-closed, and a satisfied smile on her lips.

She mumbled something indistinctly: "Goodnight, my husband."

Then she turned over, hugged the blanket, and quickly fell asleep.

Lin Chen stood in the corridor, stretched his back, and then walked towards Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang's room.

When Lin Chen pushed the door open, the two sisters were still awake and were sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him.

The two were wearing identical nightgowns, pale blue, made of thin silk that shimmered softly in the moonlight.

Her hair was loose and draped over her shoulders, jet black and shiny, like two bolts of black silk.

Upon seeing Lin Chen enter, the two stood up and greeted him in unison, "Your Highness."

The sound was soft and gentle, like two clear springs merging together.

Lin Chen waved his hand: "Sit down, sit down, don't be shy."

He sat down in the chair, and Da Shuang immediately poured him a cup of tea. Xiao Shuang went behind him and started massaging his shoulders.

Xiao Shuang's technique is excellent; the pressure is just right, and when she presses on the acupoints, it feels sore and swollen, which is very comfortable.

Lin Chen took a sip of tea, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and enjoyed Xiao Shuang's massage.

Da Shuang squatted down in front of him and massaged his legs, one massage after another, with a very steady rhythm.

"Your Highness," Da Shuang said softly, "Are you tired?"

Lin Chen opened his eyes and looked at her.

Da Shuang's face was slightly flushed, her eyes were bright, and a gentle smile played on her lips.

"I'm not tired," Lin Chen said.

Da Shuang smiled, said nothing more, and continued to massage his legs.

Xiao Shuang, rubbing her shoulders behind her, suddenly whispered something:

"Your Highness, what do you plan to do about that Lady Shanling?"

Lin Chen, with his eyes closed, asked, "What? What should we do?"

Xiao Shuang hesitated for a moment: "But... will she... be like us in the future?"

Lin Chen didn't speak.

Da Shuang glared at Xiao Shuang, who lowered her head and dared not say another word.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, looked at Da Shuang, then at Xiao Shuang, and smiled:

"You two are quite nosy."

Da Shuang quickly said, "Your Highness, please forgive me, I didn't mean it—"

"Alright," Lin Chen interrupted her, "I'm not blaming you."

He stood up, walked to the bedside, and sat down.

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang exchanged a glance, then followed him and sat down on either side of him.

Lin Chen reached out and pulled Da Shuang into his arms.

Da Shuang leaned against Lin Chen's chest, her face pressed against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Lin Chen put his other arm around Xiao Shuang, who nestled in his armpit like a kitten.

"We'll talk about Yamanosuya later. Now—"

Lin Chen looked down at the two sisters in his arms, a smile on his lips.

"Now, mind your own business."

Da Shuang's face turned red instantly, and Xiao Shuang's ears also turned red.

Lin Chen waved his hand and turned off the light.

The room darkened, with only moonlight streaming in through the window, hazy and indistinct, like a thin veil.

The bed frame creaked and groaned for a long time.
