Chapter 635: Chapter 638: Dreaming

Late at night, in the study of the Li family's mansion in Yandu, a small area was illuminated by a lamp, and three figures leisurely surrounded the desk.

A small tea table held a steaming pot of white tea, and the rich aroma filled the air, bringing a sense of peace and intoxication.

Li Mosheng sat in his chair, holding an evening paper in one hand and his personal purple clay teapot in the other, occasionally taking a small sip without saying a word. Li Yunpeng, sitting across from his son Li Dun, wore a heavy-hearted expression, his eyes filled with a bit of reproach.

Li Dun pretended to know nothing, tapping his crossed legs and closing his eyes as if in a mock nap.

Finally, Li Yunpeng couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke, "Do you really like that girl from the Tang family?"

Li Dun opened his eyes and nodded, "Didn't I just say that? You both should have heard it clearly."

"You..." Li Yunpeng looked conflicted, shaking his head and sighing, "You, you, I've introduced you to so many good young ladies, but you insist on choosing that Tang Xin. Don't you know she's not as simple as she seems on the surface?"

Li Dun shrugged, "I know. I wouldn't think that a woman who looks at me with disdain and even hatred the first time we meet would be just a pure young girl taking care of elders in her family. I also know that she might be hiding some unspeakable secrets."

"Then why do you still want to pursue her?" Li Yunpeng frowned.

"Because of the feeling. I can feel that I like her," Li Dun said with a smug smile.

"Don't joke around like that!" Li Yunpeng couldn't help but raise his voice a few notches.

"Alright, alright," Li Mosheng finally put down his newspaper, somewhat helplessly saying, "I wanted you two to accompany me for a quiet moment, but you're here talking about all sorts of things and shouting."

Li Yunpeng, losing his usual calmness, anxiously said, "Father, how can I not be anxious about this kid's lifelong matters?!"

"When you married your wife, I was anxious too, but you still married her and had the kid you now call a fool, didn't you?" Li Mosheng joked.

Li Yunpeng's face flushed with embarrassment, quickly saying, "That's different. Back then, it was just that our families were not well-matched, but Tang Xin is..."

Li Yunpeng wanted to say more, but thinking of the hidden secret, he held back.

Li Mosheng shook his head, "What's the difference? The men in our Li family, if they like someone, not even nine oxen can pull them back. Since Dun'er likes Tang Xin, should we lock him up and stop him from seeing her?"

Li Dun laughed, "The old man understands. Besides, even if you want to lock me up, you can't."

Men often act on impulse, and regardless of any post-act guilt, they tend not to consider much else when in the heat of the moment.

Tang Wan seemed to be dreaming sweetly, suddenly raising her head with a pure and sweet smile. Her unadorned face combined the charm of maturity with the freshness of youth, creating an extraordinarily captivating allure.

Yang Chen couldn't resist and pecked her plump lips, "Mwah."

Feeling as if she had been bitten in her sleep, Tang Wan woke up, groggily opening her eyes and gradually realizing where she was and what had happened. Blinking her eyes, she showed no hint of shyness. After all, she wasn't at an age to be coy, and having adapted to last night's events, she had grown notably more confident. Especially realizing her body was more vigorous than she had imagined, she was less concerned about disappointing her young lover.

As Yang Chen kissed her, Tang Wan wrinkled her delicate nose and kissed him back on the corner of his mouth.

"Did you sleep well?" Yang Chen asked softly, pulling Tang Wan closer.

"I don't know when I fell asleep, but waking up feels like a dream," Tang Wan said lazily with her eyes closed.

Yang Chen smiled, "Why does it feel like a dream?"

"Because everything feels too perfect, like it's not something I deserve," Tang Wan replied.

Yang Chen fell silent, not quite understanding her meaning, or perhaps thinking Tang Wan's standards were simply too low, while he, as the man, was getting too much benefit.

"Yang Chen," Tang Wan opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes a bit hazy, "I miss you."

Yang Chen was surprised, "I'm right here beside you. Why do you miss me?"

"Even when you're in front of me, I still miss you, very much," Tang Wan said, wrapping her arms around Yang Chen's waist. "I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. Ever since I gave birth to Tang Tang, I've been hoping to meet a man I love. A man who, when I wake up in the morning, I'd be lying in his arms. Although I told Grandpa I didn't mind not marrying, as long as I had my daughter and brother, that was enough. But I was just being stubborn."

Yang Chen gently patted Tang Wan's fragrant shoulder with one hand, saying nothing.

"You know, I really want to melt you into my body right now, because just the thought of getting up makes me reluctant," Tang Wan said wistfully.

Yang Chen grinned and said, "That sounds a bit scary. What do you mean by 'melt'? I think it would be faster if I just eat you up."

Seeing Yang Chen's mischievous smile, Tang Wan quickly realized what he meant and shook her head, "No way, it's already daylight. What if Tang Tang comes looking for me?"

"That girl is very sensible. She knows her mother needs a man more than a daughter at this moment," Yang Chen chuckled, pulling back the covers...

But just then, they heard Tang Tang's sweet voice calling from outside the door, "Uncle! Mom! Time to get up!"
