After dinner, Jiang Yanxin still took over the task of cleaning the dishes. Yang Yang, still thinking about whether the little rabbit found its mother, cuddled up to Chen Wan and asked her to tell a story.
Chen Wan patiently held Yang Yang in her arms and told her the story of the little rabbit.
Jiang Yanxin kept an eye on Chen Wan’s expression. It seemed that Chen Wan genuinely liked her daughter, which made Jiang Yanxin start to believe that the current Chen Wan was different from the previous one.
Even if the previous Chen Wan had gained abilities, she wouldn’t have been so kind to Jiang Yanxin and Yang Yang. She might have formed a small team like Zhang Qiang, made herself the leader, and surrounded herself with many Omegas. She certainly wouldn’t be holding Yang Yang and telling her stories, as the old Chen Wan had truly wanted to abandon Yang Yang.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yanxin felt a chill in her heart. Who exactly was this person now? She couldn’t ask directly. Even if she knew, she had to pretend she didn’t. This Chen Wan didn’t seem to have any ill intentions towards her and her daughter. If she found out that Jiang Yanxin knew she wasn’t the real Chen Wan, it might bring trouble or even danger to them. The best course of action was to act ignorant, ensuring their safety.
After cleaning the dishes, Jiang Yanxin saw Yang Yang still clinging to Chen Wan and didn’t say anything. She sat on the sofa opposite them, watching Chen Wan play with Yang Yang.
Jiang Yanxin was now almost certain that Chen Wan had changed. Since she had to get along with this new Chen Wan, it was beneficial that Chen Wan liked her daughter. She was willing to sacrifice more for her daughter’s sake. After all, as an Omega without abilities, she couldn’t protect Yang Yang in this harsh world.
Yang Yang, unaware of her mother’s thoughts, was happily playing with Chen Wan. She really liked the current mommy, unlike the previous one who always wanted to abandon her, scolded her, and complained about her eating too much. The current mommy was so kind, even telling her the story of the little rabbit.
Children are easily won over by a bit of kindness from adults, and Yang Yang was no exception. She felt that mommy was very good to her and liked her even more.
After playing with Yang Yang for a while, she got sleepy.
Jiang Yanxin went over to hold Yang Yang, intending to put her to sleep. Yang Yang, with half-closed eyes, still snuggled up to Chen Wan and said, “Mommy, remember to tell me another animal story tomorrow.”
Chen Wan gently coaxed her, “Okay, mommy remembers. Now be a good girl and sleep. The little rabbit has gone home to find its mommy, and our little sunshine should find mommy to sleep too.”
“Okay~” Yang Yang nodded her little head and was carried to bed by Jiang Yanxin.
Chen Wan, exhausted from the day, went to the bathroom to freshen up and prepared to sleep on the top bunk. Just as she was climbing up, she heard Jiang Yanxin’s voice.
“Are you just going to sleep like that?” Jiang Yanxin looked at Chen Wan with a probing gaze.
Chen Wan was puzzled. She didn’t have anything else to do, so she asked, “What else should I do? I just washed up.”
Jiang Yanxin’s pink lips pressed into a straight line, and her usually cold eyes were even more devoid of warmth. She stared directly at Chen Wan, as if trying to see something in her eyes. Finally, Jiang Yanxin looked at the half-asleep Yang Yang in her arms and sighed, “Wait for me on the sofa. I’ll come to you after I put Yang Yang to sleep.”
Chen Wan retracted her foot from the ladder, still a bit confused about what Jiang Yanxin wanted to discuss at night, but she nodded in agreement, “Alright, I won’t sleep yet. I’ll wait for you over there.”
Jiang Yanxin nodded at her, then looked tenderly at Yang Yang. After about ten minutes, when Yang Yang was asleep, Jiang Yanxin hid a fruit knife under the pillow, carefully covered Yang Yang with a coat, and got up to head to the small dining area.
The small dining area was behind the bathroom, creating a blind spot from the bed area, so Jiang Yanxin couldn’t see what Chen Wan was doing.
In fact, Chen Wan wasn’t doing anything; she was genuinely tired and was just zoning out on the sofa.
Hearing footsteps, she smiled at Jiang Yanxin and asked, “Is there something you need to tell me?”
Jiang Yanxin snorted lightly and looked sharply at Chen Wan. “It’s something you wanted to do. Did you forget?”
Chen Wan thought hard but couldn’t recall. She lightly tapped her fingers on the sofa beside her and straightforwardly asked, “What is it? I really can’t remember.”
Jiang Yanxin stood in front of Chen Wan, gritting her teeth. She had been so direct, yet Chen Wan was still playing dumb. Was Chen Wan waiting for her to make the first move? She couldn’t believe Chen Wan didn’t know what she was talking about. After all, the sexy lace panties in the box were given to her by Chen Wan, clearly for what was about to happen.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yanxin unbuttoned her jeans. For Yang Yang’s safety, she had no choice but to compromise with Chen Wan, even if the request was unreasonable. She had to endure it until she became strong enough to be independent and take care of Yang Yang.
In this world, both body and dignity were cheap. Being bullied by Chen Wan alone was better than being humiliated by many. With this thought, Jiang Yanxin steeled herself and took off her jeans, leaving only the panties Chen Wan had given her at noon.
Chen Wan’s eyes widened at Jiang Yanxin’s actions. She had been a bit drowsy, but now she was fully awake. She didn’t understand what Jiang Yanxin was trying to do. Before she could ask, Jiang Yanxin straddled her lap, sitting face-to-face, their faces very close.
Chen Wan was even more at a loss. She was straight! Who could save her? She panicked and wanted to push Jiang Yanxin away but was afraid of hurting her due to her strength. “Let’s talk this out. What are you doing? Can you get up so we can talk properly?”
Jiang Yanxin snorted and looked at Chen Wan, thinking her current behavior was fake. She had given her such clothes and was now pretending to be innocent. Jiang Yanxin didn’t want to play along. She wanted to get it over with and go back to Yang Yang. She lifted her shirt to take off her T-shirt.
Chen Wan quickly stopped her, being careful not to hurt her. As a single person, she couldn’t handle Jiang Yanxin’s actions. Her ears were already red, and she hurriedly explained, “No, let’s talk properly. Don’t take off your clothes.”
Jiang Yanxin’s hands were held down, and she coldly looked at Chen Wan. “Talk properly? Isn’t this what you wanted? Stop wasting time. Let’s get it over with so I can go back to Yang Yang.”
“No, no, no! I really don’t have any other intentions. Please don’t take off any more clothes,” Chen Wan pleaded, feeling helpless. She had handled many difficult tasks in her past life, but this situation was beyond her. Who could save her and explain that she was a decent person?
Jiang Yanxin grew impatient. If Chen Wan was playing dumb, she would spell it out. “Aren’t the panties I’m wearing the ones you gave me? What now? You don’t want to admit it? Didn’t you want to see me wear them? Why are you pretending to be innocent? Are you going to do it or not?”
Chen Wan shook her head desperately. She was straight! She glanced down and saw that Jiang Yanxin was wearing very little. Blushing, she explained, “I just grabbed them randomly. I didn’t mean anything by it. Please, don’t take off any more clothes.”
Jiang Yanxin stared into Chen Wan’s eyes, trying to see if she was lying. But Chen Wan’s ears were burning red, and she didn’t seem to be lying. So, had she misunderstood? Jiang Yanxin’s ears turned red with embarrassment. She was now straddling Chen Wan’s lap, wearing only panties, and her hands were still held down by Chen Wan.
She had come here with determination, but now, after all this hesitation, her courage was gone. Her ears visibly reddened. Seeing Chen Wan’s firm stance, she struggled to free her hands. “Let go. If we’re not doing it, I’m going back to Yang Yang.”
Chen Wan realized she was still holding Jiang Yanxin’s hands and quickly let go, crossing her arms over her chest defensively, as if afraid Jiang Yanxin would take advantage of her.
Jiang Yanxin glared at Chen Wan, feeling furious. She, an Omega, hadn’t said anything, but Chen Wan, an alpha, acted like she was being taken advantage of.
Ignoring Chen Wan, Jiang Yanxin picked up her pants and hurried back to bed to be with Yang Yang. She faced the wall, covering herself with a jacket, her face as red as a blooming summer flower. She cursed the fake innocence of the new Chen Wan.
After this incident, Jiang Yanxin was even more convinced that Chen Wan had changed. Chen Wan’s expression of being taken advantage of still made Jiang Yanxin’s teeth itch with anger. Fine, if Chen Wan wanted to act like a gentleman, she would see how long she could keep it up.
Chen Wan sat up, still shaken. Even a horde of zombies hadn’t made her this nervous. Jiang Yanxin had really scared her. It was the first time someone had sat on her lap. Jiang Yanxin was soft and smelled nice.
Just thinking about it made Chen Wan’s face burn. Damn it, she was straight. What was there to be shy about? It was just someone sitting on her lap. How pathetic!
But even after scolding herself, Chen Wan couldn’t calm down. Especially when Jiang Yanxin had spoken so close to her, the warm breath on her face still made her heart itch. Chen Wan decided to mentally repeat “I am straight” ten times before going back to sleep.
