Chapter 246: Ding Qiunan's Voluntary Actions
Seeing herself pushed away, Ding Qiunan quickly covered her body in embarrassment. Zhang Lei, watching her in the darkness, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ding Qiunan hurriedly hid under the covers, her voice weak but firm: "I did it voluntarily."
Hearing this, Zhang Lei was speechless. He had only met Ding Qiunan the day before, and their relationship had developed so quickly. Suspicion arose in his heart, and he asked worriedly, "Qiunan, did Shuqi say something to you?"
Ding Qiunan gently shook her head: "It's not about Shuqi, it's my own feelings. I know you won't only have me as your woman in the future, but I just want to marry a capable man. Ever since I met you, and with how wholeheartedly you've helped me, I've decided you're the one."
Although Zhang Lei still had doubts, these were words spoken by Ding Qiunan herself. He remained silent for a moment, then nodded: "Alright then, as long as you don't regret it."
"I don't regret it." Ding Qiunan looked up at him, her eyes full of determination.
Seeing her shy and bashful appearance, Zhang Lei could no longer restrain himself and leaned down to pounce on her, instantly filling the room with a spring-like atmosphere.
(36,000 words omitted here... The scene is too beautiful to describe, please use your imagination.)
Two hours later, Zhang Lei looked at Ding Qiunan, who was slumped on the bed, and joked with a smile, "You haven't even secured a job yet, and you've already submitted to me like this. What if I lied to you and didn't actually get you a job? What will you do then?"
Ding Qiunan's voice was soft and languid: "What else can we do? I'm already yours. I don't care, I'm going to have you for life."
Zhang Lei raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Did Shuqi teach you that?"
Ding Qiunan, realizing her thoughts had been exposed, nodded slightly, feeling embarrassed.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Lei couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead, saying earnestly, "Don't worry, as long as you're my woman, no matter what happens in this life, I will protect you. But there's one thing you must remember: as women of the Zhang family, you sisters must never fight amongst yourselves. Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things; this is the first Zhang family rule I'm teaching you."
Upon hearing this, Ding Qiunan quickly nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I'm not a petty person, and I would never have any conflicts with my sisters."
After resting for half an hour, seeing that Ding Qiunan had recovered and regained her strength, Zhang Lei looked at her with a smile in his eyes and pounced on her again.
The next morning, Zhang Lei and Ding Qiunan, still snuggled in bed, opened their eyes to find Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua standing by their bedside. The three women smiled at the shy Ding Qiunan and the slightly angry Zhang Lei. Ye Shuhua stepped forward and teased, "Honey, did you sleep well last night?"
Zhang Lei quickly put on his clothes, looked at Ye Shuhua, and tapped her on the head: "Were you three doing this on purpose?"
Ye Shuqi stepped forward and said, "Honey, although we did contribute a little to this, we didn't force Ding Qiunan; it was all her own choice."
Ding Qiunan's face was flushed, and she was so embarrassed that she hid under the covers, not daring to peek out. Zhang Lei glanced at the three girls and waved his hand, "Alright, alright, stop staring. By the way, Shuqi, ask Qiunan for leave when you go to work."
Ye Shuqi nodded: "Don't worry, sir."
Not long after, the three girls finished breakfast. Ye Shuqi and Ye Shuhua went to work, leaving only Ye Shuqin to temporarily leave home under the pretext of buying groceries.
Only after everyone else had left did Ding Qiunan dare to peek out from under the covers and look at Zhang Lei. Seeing her like this, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Everyone's gone, come out now."
Ding Qiunan glared at him and said angrily, "Isn't this all your fault? Who told you to work so hard like a donkey last night?"
Zhang Lei scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "It's just that I haven't had meat in a long time, so I'm a little impatient."
Hearing his teasing, Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at him and tried to sit up, but her whole body ached and she couldn't muster any strength. Zhang Lei quickly stepped forward to help her, and with his help, Ding Qiunan finally managed to get dressed, but she still walked with a limp.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Lei moved a chair over for her to sit down: "Why don't you just lie in bed and rest? Don't get up today."
Ding Qiunan shook her head: "No need, I'm a doctor after all, I know my own body best."
Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, there's still breakfast in the pot. I'll bring it over for you, and you can sit here and eat."
Soon, under Zhang Lei's care, Ding Qiunan finished her breakfast. Looking at her gentle appearance, Zhang Lei felt that she was even more beautiful, not with the youthful innocence and coquettishness of a girl, but with the graceful charm of a young woman.
He looked at Ding Qiunan and said seriously, "Qiunan, you are my woman now. I'll go with you to meet your parents another day. No matter what, we can't be rude."
Ding Qiunan thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright then, but let's go back together after I've settled my work here."
"Okay." Zhang Lei agreed, but a question suddenly occurred to him: Ding Qiunan had become his woman, so what should he do about the marriage certificate?
He immediately communicated with the system using his consciousness: "System, system, are you there?"
The system immediately issued a notification: "Ding, host, I'm here."
"System, Ding Qiunan is my woman now. Can I get a marriage certificate with her? Will someone find out and report us?"
"Ding, host, there's no need to worry. No matter how many women you marry or how many marriage certificates you obtain, no one will suspect anything, and everything will be considered reasonable."
Hearing this, Zhang Lei was overjoyed and asked again, "Then, can I get marriage certificates with Shuqi and Shuhua as well?"
Thinking of this, he was filled with anticipation. Ding Qiunan, standing beside him, looked at him with a puzzled expression as he laughed inexplicably, asking, "Zhang Lei, what's wrong with you?"
"Ding, it's ready."
Zhang Lei met Ding Qiunan's questioning gaze and quickly coughed twice to cover it up: "Ah, it's nothing, I just thought of something fun."
Ding Qiunan, thinking he was plotting something again, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you ever going to stop?"
Zhang Lei was taken aback, then realized she had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "It's not what you think. Besides, it's daytime, and I'm not that thirsty."
Hearing this, Ding Qiunan finally felt relieved. She didn't want to be tormented anymore. Last night, she almost fainted from his torment. Everything she felt from Zhang Lei had refreshed her medical knowledge—a normal man wouldn't act like this. It should have ended in about fifteen minutes. But he was like an animal, tormenting her for so long.
Zhang Lei had no idea what she was thinking. If he did, he would probably proudly say that he had cheated, and that he was no ordinary person.
As the two were chatting, Ye Shuqin returned from grocery shopping. Seeing them, she smiled and joked, "Honey, it seems we have another family member, another sister."
Ding Qiunan blushed and lowered her head without saying a word, while Zhang Lei laughed heartily: "The more people we have, the more strength we have."
Ye Shuqin rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "You're having a good time, but poor Qiu Nan is suffering terribly."
Zhang Lei scratched his head awkwardly and laughed, "I'll be more careful next time, I definitely will be more careful next time."
Soon, with Ye Shuqin's help, Ding Qiunan sat back down on the bed in the bedroom. Seeing that they were about to discuss private matters concerning their daughters, Zhang Lei tactfully turned and left.
