Chapter 109 - Lost in Love

The snake looked terrifying.

Although it was some distance away, Zhang Xueying was still shaking with fear.

“Chen Yang, what should we do?” Zhang Xueying said with a hint of tears in her voice.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get it out for you,” Chen Yang comforted her and then pressed the snake’s head with the broomstick.

While the snake entangled with the broom, Chen Yang’s other hand swiftly struck, grabbing the snake firmly behind its head.

Held in Chen Yang’s hand, the snake immediately coiled up.

Seeing the snake in Chen Yang’s hand, Zhang Xueying screamed in fright.

“Chen Yang, throw it far away, please.

I’m scared it’s too close,” Zhang Xueying said.

“Okay,” Chen Yang nodded, then turned and left Zhang Xueying’s home, throwing the snake far away before returning.

“The snake is gone.

I’ll check the cabinet again, just in case there are more,” Chen Yang said.

Zhang Xueying nodded repeatedly, “Okay.”

Chen Yang stepped forward and started searching through the wardrobe.

Fortunately, there were no more snakes in the wardrobe, but Chen Yang didn’t stop looking.

He continued to search through Zhang Xueying’s wardrobe.

Because inside this wardrobe were all Zhang Xueying’s private clothes.

Some stockings, some lace-trimmed garments…

things like that.

Seeing her things being rummaged through by Chen Yang, Zhang Xueying’s cheeks turned beet red…

Chen Yang, engrossed in browsing, suddenly felt warmth from behind as Zhang Xueying suddenly embraced him from the back.

“Chen Yang, why don’t you stay over tonight?” Zhang Xueying’s soft voice whispered in his ear.

Chen Yang was slightly stunned, then remembering his last encounter with Zhang Xueying, he nodded decisively.

“Okay.”

Seeing Chen Yang agree, Zhang Xueying moved from behind to front, burying her head in Chen Yang’s chest.

Feeling the warmth from Chen Yang’s chest, Zhang Xueying felt incredibly happy…

even though she was not yet his woman.

The two embraced for a long time.

It wasn’t until it was quite late that they ended up in bed.

In bed, Chen Yang made no moves, but he could feel Zhang Xueying, in his arms, shifting her body and shedding all her clothes…

The initially warm clothes against his chest suddenly turned into smooth skin, making Chen Yang momentarily distracted.

Simultaneously, his blood began to surge uncontrollably.

Before he could react, lips pressed against his.

In that moment, Chen Yang’s mind went blank…

Instinctively, he wanted to strip all his clothes off and then do that.

But just as he was about to act, he suddenly came to his senses!

“I can’t do this!

Zhang’s husband has just died, and Xiaoxiao is still young.

How can I take advantage of her vulnerability?” the self-doubting voice inside Chen Yang pulled him back from his confusion.

He abruptly opened his eyes and stepped back.

“Xueying!

We can’t do this,” Chen Yang suddenly said sternly.

The already delirious Zhang Xueying heard this and was visibly shaken, then she also took a step back and began to sob softly.

“Chen Yang…

you despise me,” Zhang Xueying sobbed.

She had been so forward several times, but Chen Yang had never reciprocated, making her doubt herself.

But Chen Yang shook his head, looking upset, “No, it’s not that.

I’ve told you, there is a hurdle in my heart that I can’t get over!”

“Xueying, I understand your feelings, and I like you too!

But Xiaoxiao is young, and Zhang’s body is not yet cold.

I just can’t get over it,” Chen Yang said.

At these words, Zhang Xueying sobbed even louder.

At this moment, her heart was full of regret, grievance, and a profound sense of loss.

She really liked Chen Yang and wanted to become his woman, but his consistent rejections truly disheartened her.

Hearing Zhang Xueying’s increasingly loud sobs, Chen Yang felt terrible.

He also realized that his sudden gesture of stepping back had hurt Zhang Xueying’s feelings.

So, he moved forward and embraced Zhang Xueying again.

“Xueying, I didn’t mean anything else.

I just can’t get over that hurdle right now.

Give me some time, will you?

Once I overcome it, I promise to make you my woman and ensure Xiaoxiao grows up carefree,” Chen Yang said earnestly while holding Zhang Xueying.

Hearing this, all of Zhang Xueying’s inner turmoil suddenly dissolved.

She tried to press closer to Chen Yang’s chest, feeling the warmth he provided.

“I understand, Chen Yang…

I can wait…

Whenever you want, I can be your woman,” Zhang Xueying lay on his chest and said, moved.

“Hmm!”

Chen Yang nodded heavily, then just held Zhang Xueying like that.

Unknowingly, both of them fell asleep.

By the time they woke up again, it was already the next day.

Chen Yang opened his eyes groggily, only to find that Zhang Xueying was no longer on his chest.

He got up and smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.

Just then, Zhang Xueying came in from the kitchen outside with two bowls of fried rice.

“Chen Yang, you’re awake,” Zhang Xueying’s face immediately turned red when she saw Chen Yang.

“Yes,” Chen Yang smiled and nodded, then got out of bed.

“Go wash your face, and then have breakfast,” Zhang Xueying came over and hugged Chen Yang as she spoke.

Chen Yang hugged Zhang Xueying back, then went to the kitchen to wash up.

During breakfast, Chen Yang noticed the bags and packages placed on the floor.

“Have you packed everything?

Are we ready to go over today?” Chen Yang asked.

“Yes, Xiaoxiao can’t be apart from me; even a night without me is pushing it,” Zhang Xueying nodded.

She had come back from her parental home this time just to pick up some clothes.

They had to return to Mao Tou Village today.

“Then I’ll take you later!

There’s no bus service to the village, and it’s inconvenient,” Chen Yang said.

“Or maybe…” Zhang Xueying wanted to politely refuse, but then she remembered what Chen Yang had said the previous night and blushed as she nodded.

After finishing the meal, Chen Yang took Zhang Xueying back home.

He also sent a text message to Wu Kexin on the way, telling her he would be back late and would pay Aunt Zhang later.

After receiving a confirmation reply from Wu Kexin, he pushed out his electric tricycle and took Zhang Xueying to Mao Tou Village.

More than thirty minutes later, Chen Yang’s electric tricycle reappeared in Mao Tou Village.

At that time, Mao Tou Village was buzzing with demolition noise.

The demolition crew, seeing Chen Yang, didn’t dare to provoke him.

Because of the last incident with Wang Long, they still remembered it clearly.

After dropping Zhang Xueying off at the entrance of Mao Tou Village, Chen Yang didn’t go any further.

“Xueying, whenever you want to come back, just give me a call, and I’ll come to pick you and your daughter up,” Chen Yang said with a smile as he helped Zhang Xueying unload her bags and packages.

Hearing Chen Yang say this, Zhang Xueying blushed once more.

“Okay.”

After unloading her things, Chen Yang watched Zhang Xueying enter the village, then turned around to head back.

Once back in Liuhe Village, Chen Yang went straight to find Wu Kexin.

Seeing Chen Yang, Wu Kexin immediately asked, “Where did you run off to this early in the morning?”

“Yesterday Xueying came back, so today I just helped her return to her parental home,” Chen Yang replied.

Hearing this, Wu Kexin didn’t say anything more.

“Let’s go, I hope Aunt Zhang is still at home,” Wu Kexin knew Chen Yang’s purpose, so she didn’t delay.

She led Chen Yang straight to Aunt Zhang’s house.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhang hadn’t gone out to work in the fields yet today.

“Aunt Zhang, Chen Yang and I have come to pay,” Wu Kexin said with a smile as she entered Aunt Zhang’s house.

Seeing Chen Yang and Wu Kexin, Aunt Zhang immediately welcomed them in.

After discussing for a while inside Aunt Zhang’s house, Chen Yang finally decided to rent for five years.

Two thousand a year, just ten thousand for five years.

Chen Yang gave Aunt Zhang ten thousand yuan, then left with Wu Kexin.

“You don’t sign a contract, aren’t you afraid of any disputes arising later?” Wu Kexin asked curiously as they walked back to the village.

She had prepared a contract for renting Aunt Zhang’s land.

But Chen Yang was against signing any contracts, which struck her as odd.

Chen Yang smiled at her question and said, “Rural people aren’t like city folks with all those schemes.

Aunt Zhang is old; there’s no need for her to cause any trouble with me.”

“I see,” Wu Kexin was slightly stunned, not expecting Chen Yang to trust Aunt Zhang so much.
