Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: I Like It All

"What’s wrong?"

Miao Cuifen looked at Shen Nian, then at Lu Cheng, not quite understanding the situation.

Shen Nian held back a laugh. "It’s nothing, Mom. I’ve already talked to him. You can go make the bed now!"

"Alright, I’ll go get it ready then!"

With that, Miao Cuifen left, thoughtfully closing the door for Shen Nian and Lu Cheng on her way out.

Shen Nian turned to look at Lu Cheng. His expression was still frozen in the same way it had been when he heard what Miao Cuifen said. ’Anyone who didn’t know better would think he’d been terribly wronged!’

Miao Cuifen wasn’t letting Lu Cheng sleep in Shen Nian’s room because she had a problem with him. It was because of a local custom: a married daughter who returned to her maiden home could not sleep in the same bed as her husband.

In later generations, perhaps few people would still follow such a custom, but in this era, and in a rural village at that, everyone naturally abided by tradition.

If someone insisted on going against the custom, they would be scolded for being scandalous and indecent!

Therefore, even though Miao Cuifen truly hoped Shen Nian and Lu Cheng could deepen their bond, she had no intention of letting them sleep in the same room tonight.

Shen Nian had also suddenly remembered this custom, and seeing the frustrated look on Lu Cheng’s face made her laugh.

’Lu Cheng must have been thrilled at the thought of sleeping with me, only to have Mom pour cold water all over his plans. Of course he’s feeling frustrated.’

"Alright, don’t be upset. It’s just for one night!"

Seeing that Lu Cheng’s expression hadn’t changed even after Miao Cuifen had left, Shen Nian had no choice but to step forward, take his hand, and properly coax this man whose spirit had been crushed.

Lu Cheng wasn’t actually angry. It was just that Miao Cuifen’s words had created a rather large gap between his expectations and reality. ’Just a moment ago, I was thinking about how I’d get to sleep in Shen Nian’s room, holding her soft body!’

’And in the blink of an eye, this place was no longer his!’

"So, how are you going to compensate me?"

After Shen Nian held his hand and coaxed him for a while, the look on Lu Cheng’s face softened considerably.

’Oh my god, since when did my innocent man learn to proactively ask for compensation? That’s some serious progress!’

Still, as long as Lu Cheng wasn’t upset, Shen Nian certainly wouldn’t be stingy with a little compensation.

"Well, what kind of compensation do you want?"

Shen Nian asked, looking at Lu Cheng with her big, blinking eyes, looking utterly adorable.

The sight of her blinking eyes nearly melted Lu Cheng’s heart. Without a second thought, he looked at Shen Nian and said a single word.

"You."

"Huh?"

"The compensation I want is you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Cheng reached out, pulled Shen Nian into his arms, then leaned down and kissed her.

’God knows how long he’d been craving this. Having already tasted such sweetness, he was completely powerless against Shen Nian’s allure.’

Shen Nian hadn’t expected Lu Cheng to suddenly be so forceful with her.

"Mm, you’re so domineering."

Shen Nian mumbled.

"So, do you like me like this?"

Lu Cheng straightened up and looked at Shen Nian, asking.

Shen Nian looked back at Lu Cheng. She had to admit, those words really didn’t sound like something he would say. ’If I wasn’t standing right here in front of him, hearing and seeing it with my own ears and eyes, I probably wouldn’t believe it.’

"Mhm, I like it."

Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng and nodded. No matter what Lu Cheng was like, she liked him. In fact, she was starting to like him more and more.
