"Honey, Mom says we're not getting any younger and thinks it's about time for us to have a kid. Can I sleep in bed with you tonight?" Lin Haoxuan asked nervously, standing at the edge of the room.
The room was dimly lit, revealing a woman lying on the bed, clad in a deep V-neck lace nightdress. Lin Haoxuan could vaguely see her.
"Honey..."
Seeing no response, Lin Haoxuan called out again.
At this moment, the woman stretched lazily, her bosom barely concealed under her clothing, and caught Lin Haoxuan's attention.
Combined with her seductive red lips and enticing eyes, Lin Haoxuan, the young virgin that he was, stood captivated. If it wasn't for his last shred of sanity, he might have already swept her off the bed!
"Do you like it, darling?" The woman's voice was incredibly soft and gentle. Lin Haoxuan felt his bones go numb, and he nodded excitedly.
In the past, Chen Ya treated Lin Haoxuan somewhat like a master treats a servant. If Lin Haoxuan ever fell slightly short of expectations, she would roar like a tigress.
However, her sudden gentleness today felt a bit unusual to Lin Haoxuan.
But soon, all his awkwardness was swept away.
Now he was ready for the clouds to part and reveal the clear moon: henceforth, he and Chen Ya could become true husband and wife!
"Whatever are you doing standing there? Come and sit here with me quickly!"
The woman patted the bed beside her, clearly amused as she spoke.
Without giving it much thought, Lin Haoxuan walked to the edge of the bed. Just as he was hesitating whether to sit, the woman pulled him up onto the bed, laying beside her.
The memory foam mattress was soft and comfortable. As he lay on it, his entire body instantly relaxed.
"Hubby, do you think I'm pretty?"
The woman leaned in closer, her hand roaming all over Lin Haoxuan's body, starting from the upper part and gradually moving down...
Caught off guard, Lin Haoxuan struggled to keep his composure.
In the next moment, overcome by passion, he held the woman tightly, about to kiss her, when suddenly the room door was kicked open.
"Lin Haoxuan, you beast, how dare you lay a hand on my sister!"
A furious roar echoed in the room. Lin Haoxuan instantly had a bad feeling. This voice was too familiar; it sounded like Chen Ya.
Who was in the bed?!
Just then, the room's light turned on revealing his mother-in-law Ning Xueli and his wife Chen Ya standing at the door!
Filled with shock, Lin Haoxuan was about to bow his head and see who the person in his arms really was when he was slapped hard across the face.
"Lin Haoxuan, you're worse than a beast, even going after your own aunt!"
What...
Lin Haoxuan froze, trying to comprehend what exactly was happening.
By the time he regained his senses and clearly saw the face of the person on the bed, it was surprisingly Chen Yan, Chen Ya's younger sister!
Chen Yan bore a striking resemblance to Chen Ya, almost an 80% likeness. Since the room was dark before, he had mistaken her for his wife unwittingly.
However, what would Chen Yan be doing in his and Chen Ya's room? And she just called him husband…
It was manifest she was setting him up!
Click!
At that moment, Ning Xueli had already photographed everything in the room with her camera.
Pointing her finger at Lin Haoxuan in fury, she scolded, "Lin Haoxuan, our Chen family has treated you well. Yet, you would do something like this! Can you face us without guilt!?”
Five years ago, Lin Haoxuan was homeless, living on the streets, until he was saved by Chen Ya's grandfather and taken into the Chen family.
Later, the Chen family patriarch even arranged for his granddaughter Chen Ya to marry Lin Haoxuan, making him a son-in-law living with his wife's family.
However, these five years, Lin Haoxuan's life in the Chen family was nothing better than that of a dog.
He had to do all the dirty and tiring work, and even his wife, Chen Ya, was cold towards him, not willing to let him lay a finger on her.
Even sleeping in the same room, Lin Haoxuan could only sleep on a makeshift bed on the floor.
But, owing his life to the old Chen, Lin Haoxuan silently accepted his fate.
Today, as usual, he was washing the dishes when he heard his mother-in-law, Ning Xueli, call out to him, "Haoxuan, you and Xia Ya have been married for five years, it's time you have a child. Go to Xia Ya's room now, I've arranged everything for you."
Lin Haoxuan, hearing these words, was greatly moved, but also had doubts.
His mother-in-law has always disapproved of him, why has she suddenly become so understanding today?
"Why are you still standing there, opportunity only comes once, hurry up and go!"
Under Ning Xueli's repeated urging, he finally plucked up the courage to enter the room, unaware that it was all a trap!
"You, you guys actually set me up!"
Lin Haoxuan was livid.
"What nonsense are you shouting, who set you up!?"
Ning Xueli exploded with rage, "I found it strange why you would leave your dishes half washed and rush back to your room. When I followed you, to my surprise, you were committing such a heinous act!"
Chen Yan, standing on the side was sobbing as she spoke, "Mom, sis, you must stand up for me. I was just looking for a book in the room when Lin Haoxuan burst in, pinned me to the bed, and tried to assault me, saying that because big sister hasn't consummated the marriage with him, he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to vent it out on me!"
"I tried to resist, if it wasn't for you two I would've been violated by this beast!"
"You must help me, kick this beast out, or else I'm afraid I can't come home anymore…"
After finishing, Chen Yan burst into a louder cry.
Chen Ya gazed at Lin Haoxuan with an icy expression, coldly stating, "Lin Haoxuan, what do you propose we do about this!?"
Lin Haoxuan clenched his fists, keeping silent.
At this point, no matter how much he explained, it was useless. He had only himself to blame for being careless!
"Things have already gotten this far, what more is there for me to say? I'll leave the Chen family then!"
Once these words were spoken, three women had delighted looks on their faces.
"Finally, you understand. What are you still doing standing there? Pack up your things and get out of the Chen family. Looking at you disgusts me!"
Chen Ya coldly huffed and spoke ruthlessly.
Upon hearing his wife's words, Lin Haoxuan grew cold in the heart. He didn't respond, just silently started packing up his belongings.
The Chen family had once shown him kindness, which was why he worked tirelessly like an ox and a horse for the past five years, never uttering a word of complaint.
But he could no longer tolerate being framed.
And it was his wife, mother-in-law, and younger sister-in-law who had conspired to set him up.
Even if he could avoid this trap, they would definitely lay an even bigger one next time.
Forget it, since they disliked him so much, he would do them the favor. It was also doing himself a favor.
"Wait, take this trash back!"
Chen Ya pulled at a thin string around her neck and tossed the jade ring hanging from it back to Lin Haoxuan. "Keep it and get out of the Chen family. From now on, we have no relation with each other!"
Lin Haoxuan caught the jade ring, his expression serious.
The jade ring was sent to him by a mysterious person via delivery when he turned eighteen.
Apart from this ring, there was also a note, with a sentence on it:
"Young Master, congratulations on coming of age."
