Strange Behavior of Xena

The next morning, at the break of dawn.

There were many sparrows around, and they started chirping as soon as the sun came up.

In his sleep, Ren felt a bit hot and kicked off the blanket. He turned over to find a more comfortable position and placed his leg on something.

He sometimes had the habit of hugging a pillow while he slept.

But the next moment, Ren froze. This didn't feel like a pillow. He quickly opened his eyes.

Jada's figure came into his view.

She was still asleep, but after a night of tossing and turning, her clothes had slipped off her shoulder, revealing most of her skin. Her legs were barely covered by the blanket, and he could see a glimpse of her white underwear and a few strands of her hair.

Remembering the events of the previous night, Ren instinctively touched his waist.

As the saying goes, "A man's word can be unreliable," but Ren thought it should be, "A woman's word can be unreliable."

Jada had kept saying she was tired and didn't want to do anything, but in the end, she was more enthusiastic than he was. He even felt like his waist was strained.

Shaking his head, Ren just looked at Jada's profile.

Yes, my wife is beautiful!

Next, Ren reached out with his hand and placed it on Jada's chest.

"Hmm?" Jada murmured, then smacked her lips, "Don't mess around. Sleep, I'm still tired."

Saying this, she turned over, wrapped her leg around Ren, and hugged him like an octopus.

Considering how tired Jada had been the day before, Ren didn't want to disturb her. He felt the warmth of her embrace and slowly closed his eyes again.

...

When Ren woke up again, it was already 7:30.

"Yawn." Jada, who was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, yawned.

Yesterday had been exhausting, and she still felt sleepy.

"Didn't sleep well?" Ren asked.

"And whose fault do you think that is?" Jada glared at Ren, with faint dark circles under her eyes.

A man's word can be unreliable.

Last night, Ren had said he'd just cuddle, but then he went all the way. Men are such pigs!

"Is that my fault?" Ren blinked innocently.

"You didn't let me sleep last night. First, you said you'd just cuddle, and then, in the end…"

Jada trailed off, feeling too shy to continue.

After all, she was a woman and found it hard to say such things directly.

"Ha, in the end, you were more enthusiastic than me. They say women in their thirties are like wolves. The ancients weren't wrong," Ren teased, raising his eyebrows.

He had a cheeky look on his face.

!!!

Ren's smug look made Jada's eyes widen, her face turning red.

And he had the nerve to say women in their thirties are like tigers!

She was only in her late twenties!

"You pig-headed fool!"

Jada reached out and pinched Ren's waist, making him gasp.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Ren quickly surrendered.

The two playfully argued their way to the living room and stepped outside, seeing Yueyue happily watching anime and Xena, who had dark circles under her eyes, yawning.

Seeing Ren and Jada, Xena greeted them, "Morning."

"Good morning, Daddy and Mommy!" Yueyue said, taking a break from her show to greet them.

"Morning," Jada replied with a smile, but then she noticed the dark circles under Xena's eyes. "Didn't sleep well? You look tired."

She glanced at Yueyue. "Did she not let you sleep?"

"No, no," Xena quickly waved her hand. "Yueyue was very well-behaved and went to bed early. I was just thinking about something."

Xena smiled awkwardly, but inside, she was crying. She felt like she was going crazy.

Just thinking about the sounds from last night made her mind fill with images, making it harder to sleep.

No, no, just thinking about it now brought the images back.

Xena shook her head.

Seeing Ren and Jada looking so refreshed after their morning, Xena couldn't help but feel a bit irritated. They'd kept her up all night, and now they looked better than she did! How unfair!

"Really? It must be about the company. Sometimes I stay up thinking about work too," Jada nodded understandingly.

She knew Xena was a company owner, so she thought they might have similar experiences.

No, you don't understand!

Xena's inner voice screamed, but she nodded awkwardly, "Yeah, it's company stuff."

In fact, her company had been facing some issues recently. Their latest game had flopped, costing them quite a bit. But she wouldn't complain to others.

"Let's eat breakfast," Xena said, pointing to the table. "Breakfast is ready, so let's eat quickly. Afterward, I'll take you guys around to explore some more."

"Oh, okay." Ren and Jada, seeing Xena's reluctance, exchanged glances and communicated silently.

'What's wrong?'

'Maybe Yueyue was too noisy, and she didn't want to say it?'

'Could be!'

"By the way!" Yueyue, having finished her magical girl anime, turned to Ren and Jada with her hands on her hips, looking angry. "Daddy and Mommy, you said you'd get along! Last night, you were fighting again… mmph!"

Before she could finish, Xena quickly covered Yueyue's mouth, laughing, "Oh, Yueyue, let me show you something."

"…"

Ren and Jada froze, then exchanged glances before looking at Xena.

Xena's face was visibly red.

The truth was out!

Under the table, Jada's foot stepped hard on Ren's, her eyes glaring at him with a clear message: 'It's all your fault.'

No wonder Xena was acting so strange this morning. She had overheard everything last night!
