My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 469: Guan Xiaoguan Enters the Door

Zhang Lei and Guan Xiaoguan chatted and laughed all the way, joking around, and before they knew it, they had arrived at their doorstep. Just as they were about to go inside, Zhang Lei suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing that he hadn't told Ye Shuqin about Guan Xiaoguan yet, and a wave of panic washed over him.

Seeing his sudden change in expression, Guan Xiaoguan quickly asked with concern, "Zhang Lei, what's wrong?"

Zhang Lei forced a smile and tried to appear calm: "N-nothing."

After saying that, he steeled himself and walked into the courtyard, while Guan Xiaoguan beside him curiously looked around. They only encountered a few people in the front yard, but when they pushed open the door to the middle yard, dozens of people suddenly rushed in, startling Guan Xiaoguan. All eyes turned to them, and Guan Xiaoguan instantly tensed up.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Lei reached out and took Guan Xiaoguan's hand tightly, then laughed loudly at everyone, "This is Guan Xiaoguan, she's part of our family now."

Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes in unison.

Ye Shuqin smiled and stepped forward, took Guan Xiaoguan's hand, and said gently, "You must be little sister Guan? Come, sit here and get to know everyone."

After saying that, she handed Guan Xiaoguan over to Ye Shuhua and asked Ye Shuhua to show her around the house so she could get familiar with the place.

Then, Ye Shuqin looked at Zhang Lei with a smile: "Honey, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

The two quickly arrived at the backyard. Zhang Lei was smiling at Ye Shuqin when suddenly a hand grabbed his waist and twisted his flesh, making him wince in pain. He quickly begged for mercy, "Wife, my good wife, I was wrong, okay?"

Ye Shuqin looked at him, both angry and amused: "Honey, you're really something. You were only gone for one day, and you brought back another sister the next day. At this rate, won't I have more than a hundred more sisters by the end of the year? Our whole family might as well sleep on the floor."

Zhang Lei quickly smiled apologetically, "It was an accident, honey, it really was a complete accident. Let me explain, I was just trying to help."

He quickly recounted Guan Xiaoguan's ordeal in detail. However, Ye Shuqin only believed about 10% of his account.

"Honey," Ye Shuqin said calmly, "from now on you'll stay home and take care of the children. There are so many children, and the one I'm carrying yet. We can't be working hard at home every day while you're out having fun."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei immediately put on a pitiful expression and looked at Ye Shuqin: "Wife, aren't you going to ground me?"

Ye Shuqin smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a six-day work week with one day off now. You can stay home and look after the kids for six days, and then go out and have some fun on the seventh day, how about that?"

Zhang Lei quickly grabbed her arm and pleaded, "Wife, please be kind, one day is too short."

Ye Shuqin glared at him immediately: "No bargaining, just one day. Otherwise, you can carry all the children on your back and take them out with you, and see if you dare to act recklessly again."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei immediately raised his hands in surrender. He smiled ingratiatingly, "Wife, give me some face. It's Xiao Guan's first time here; seeing me like this would damage your manly dignity, wouldn't it?"

Looking at his grinning face, Ye Shuqin said helplessly, "Then we'll see how you perform."

Zhang Lei quickly and attentively massaged her shoulders and legs, saying ingratiatingly, "Don't worry, honey, I'll stay with you during this time." As he spoke, he leaned close to Ye Shuqin's ear and whispered, "Let's try to have another daughter."

Ye Shuqin's cheeks flushed instantly, and she spat out, "You scoundrel, who wants to have a daughter with you?"

Zhang Lei laughed even harder: "Of course it's my smart, beautiful, generous, gentle, virtuous and kind eldest daughter-in-law."

Ye Shuqin's lips unconsciously curled up as he coaxed her, and she scolded, "Alright, enough with the smooth talk. Hurry up and go to the Intermediate Court, don't make Xiao Guan feel uncomfortable."

The two returned to the central courtyard, where they found Guan Xiaoguan already chatting enthusiastically with everyone. Hearing that she had previously lived in the United States, everyone curiously gathered around, asking about her experiences abroad, creating a lively atmosphere. Seeing this, Zhang Lei gave Ye Shuqin a knowing smile.

Evening arrived in the blink of an eye, and Guan Xiaoguan, still in high spirits, kept talking nonstop in Zhang Lei's ear. Zhang Lei reached out and pulled her into his arms, smiling as he asked, "It seems you really like this home."

Guan Xiaoguan sat in his lap, her face flushed, and nodded gently: "Before, I was basically all alone at home, and I didn't have many friends or classmates. I never dared to imagine having so many people together in such a lively atmosphere before."

Zhang Lei put his arm around her and said gently, "I'm glad you like it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Xiaoguan suddenly broke free from his embrace, quickly brought over a foot basin, and squatted down to wash Zhang Lei's feet.

Seeing this, Zhang Lei couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Did Shuqin say something to you?"

Guan Xiaoguan smiled sweetly: "Sister Shuqin is so good to me, and she even told me the rules of our family. You are our man, our pillar of strength, and serving you is what we should do. I will definitely abide by this first rule."

After saying that, she began to wash Zhang Lei's feet very carefully.

After washing his feet, Zhang Lei smiled and carried Guan Xiaoguan to the bed: "Husband and wife are one. You washed mine, so I have to wash yours too."

Guan Xiaoguan panicked immediately and repeatedly declined, saying, "Zhang Lei, no, I can do it myself."

Zhang Lei gently pressed her down: "What, you can wash me, but I can't wash you?"

Guan Xiaoguan said shyly, "But..."

"No buts." Without waiting for a reply, Zhang Lei gently took off her socks. Looking at her pair of fair and slender feet, he couldn't help but gently touch them, making Guan Xiaoguan whimper softly from the ticklishness.

Zhang Lei joked, "These feet are so well-formed, they're flawless."

He gently placed her feet in the water and patiently began to wash them. It was the first time Guan Xiaoguan had been cared for so tenderly by a man; her heart was pounding and her cheeks were burning.

After washing his feet, Zhang Lei turned off the light and looked at Guan Xiaoguan, who was nervously lying in bed. A smile appeared on his lips: "Didn't you say you learned a lot in America? How come you're at a loss when it comes to actually putting it into practice?"

Guan Xiaoguan huddled shyly under the covers: "How could I? I would."

Zhang Lei gently hugged her from behind: "Okay, you use your method, and I'll use mine. Let's see which one is more suitable."

After a night of tenderness, an hour later, Zhang Lei looked at Guan Xiaoguan, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion beside him, and shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "She's all talk and no action." He looked at Guan Xiaoguan, who was as docile as a kitten in his arms, gently hugged her tighter, and gradually fell asleep himself.
