"Knock, knock, knock!"
Zhang Pingfan and Dou Youyou were just about to take a short break in the afternoon.
At this moment, the door was knocked.
Dou Youyou called out, "Who is it!"
"It's me, Mom!"
Dou Youyou quickly got up and opened the door.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"Ever since you started following Mr. Zhang, have you forgotten about your mother?"
Dou Youyou's face turned red.
"No, it's because the game is quite intense, and I spend a lot of time on it every day!"
"I know, and I also know what your dad did to you a few months ago. I've already criticized him, and now your dad is afraid to even raise his voice at you, lest you get angry with him again!"
Dou Youyou: "I've already forgotten, why are you still mentioning him? What is it that you're here for?"
Dou Youyou's mother glanced into the room, and Zhang Pingfan also walked out at this moment.
"Hello, Auntie!"
"Yes, young man, you do look quite good, and you possess unfathomable strength. I am very satisfied with Youyou being in your care!"
Zhang Pingfan smiled. This was the first time he had met Youyou's mother, and his impression of her was not bad.
She was very gentle the first time he saw her; she must be the virtuous wife and loving mother from the rumors.
"Auntie, please rest assured, I will not let Youyou come to any harm!"
"I am very relieved about that. Youyou has been spoiled by me since she was little, so she has a bit of a temper. Please be forgiving of her!"
"Auntie, please don't worry. In my eyes, she is just a little girl!"
Dou Youyou pouted and said, "I should be a little princess!"
"Heh, you, you only know these things. In the afternoon, your paternal aunt might come to apologize. Forgive them then. It's nothing major, and Tangshan has already received his due punishment. We shouldn't quibble with them! Otherwise, it would make us seem tasteless. There's no need to argue with people like them!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded and said, "If you say so. Actually, we haven't taken this matter to heart either. However, the old man is quite concerned. It's really not a big deal, and we weren't the ones injured!"
"It's good that you think that way. Then I won't disturb your rest!"
Saying this, she revealed a gentle smile and slowly withdrew from the room.
"Is your mother always like this? She looks so gentle and elegant, she must have been from a distinguished family in the past!"
"Yes, my maternal great-grandfather was a prominent landlord. Mom is a famous lady from Yijiang City!"
"No wonder. Forget it, let's not think about these things. Let's rest. I had a bit of wine this afternoon, and I'm really not quite used to it!"
"Mm, I can tell. You probably didn't have many opportunities to drink before, did you?"
Zhang Pingfan rubbed his forehead.
"Before, I could barely get enough to eat, where would I have had the money to buy wine?"
"Hehe, you didn't have it before, but you do now. If you don't like it, we won't drink!"
"Mm!"
Before long, Zhang Pingfan had fallen into a shallow sleep.
During this time, Dou Youyou's paternal aunt found Dou Youyou. Zhang Pingfan could feel Dou Youyou tiptoeing out of the room, but since they were at the Dou family's residence, Dou Youyou wouldn't be in any trouble, so Zhang Pingfan didn't bother.
With Dou Youyou's forgiveness, and after Dou Youyou said a few words to her grandfather, the punishment was reduced from the original 80% to 50%, and the duration was changed from three years to one year.
Tangshan didn't dare to say a word.
Besides nodding and apologizing, he didn't dare to say another word.
At the dinner table that night, Dou Chunlan, Dou Youyou's paternal aunt, and her family kept apologizing to Zhang Pingfan and Dou Youyou.
That night's meal finally had some of the festive atmosphere of the New Year, and the old man's face showed more smiles.
In Dou Youyou's room.
Dou Youyou helped the somewhat drunk Zhang Pingfan back to the room.
"If you can't drink, don't drink!"
Zhang Pingfan shook his head.
"After all, they are all your family. They toasted me, so I couldn't refuse every single one. If I did, I'd seem too cold, which would be bad for you and for me!"
"These people are really something. They said you couldn't drink, yet they still came up to you!"
Zhang Pingfan pointed at the bed and said, "It's alright, I'll be fine after a short rest!"
As he reached the bed, Zhang Pingfan fell onto it, accidentally pulling Dou Youyou onto the bed with him. Looking at Dou Youyou lying on top of him.
Smelling the fragrance emanating from Dou Youyou, and urged by the alcohol, Zhang Pingfan couldn't help himself and directly pinned her down and kissed her.
Smelling the strong scent of alcohol, Dou Youyou wanted to resist but found herself unable to. The other party's strength was too great, and she couldn't break free even with her own strength.
Zhang Pingfan's hands were fumbling, and in a few moves, he had removed Dou Youyou's coat.
Dou Youyou started to panic. Would her master really discipline her at this moment!
Dou Youyou wanted to resist but found herself with no room to do so.
Watching her clothes being torn off, one by one.
Dou Youyou conceded. Since she was destined to be her master's woman sooner or later, let it be today.
Dou Youyou pulled the quilt beside them and covered both of them.
She waited for Zhang Pingfan's next move with both anticipation and fear.
However, as soon as the quilt was covered, Zhang Pingfan seemed to have stopped his actions. He held her tightly, without any further movement.
Dou Youyou gently patted Zhang Pingfan's shoulder.
"Master? Master?"
But all she heard in response was Zhang Pingfan's steady sleeping breath.
Dou Youyou was instantly filled with shame and anger.
She bit Zhang Pingfan's shoulder fiercely.
She had already made up her mind, but you fell asleep at this moment! Have you considered my feelings at all?
Unfortunately, Zhang Pingfan was truly asleep. Even though he felt a slight pain in his shoulder, he just turned over, rolled off Dou Youyou, and continued to sleep.
Looking at the sleeping Zhang Pingfan, Dou Youyou felt an urge to punch him.
"Forget it, since I'm already his woman, it's not like it's urgent. You stinky master!"
Looking at the torn clothes scattered all over the floor, Dou Youyou felt a headache.
She could only ask for help on the spot and resolve it herself.
After learning the truth, Dou Junwan leaned back with laughter.
"It seems this Mr. Zhang is quite a gentleman!"
Dou Youyou said, "Alright, stop teasing me, okay? Hurry up and send me some clothes!"
"Got it, got it, wait for me!"
The next morning, Zhang Pingfan and Dou Youyou woke up.
Looking at Dou Youyou sitting by the bed, Zhang Pingfan gave a slightly awkward smile!
Because he always felt like someone was staring at him, and sure enough, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Dou Youyou staring at him.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"I wasn't doing anything. I was just watching to see when this gentleman would finally wake up!"
Zhang Pingfan immediately reacted and quickly looked down at his situation in the covers. Fortunately, he was fully dressed.
"You scared me to death! I thought I had done something shameful! Bah, how could I possibly do anything shameful!"
