"Honey, I want hot pot." Don't let Xiao Dan's small appetite fool you. A girl's natural love of good food was something she lacked none of. In front of Li Yang, Xiao Dan was like a shape-shifting queen, vividly playing every kind of female personality.

What Li Yang liked most about Yue Xiaodan was precisely that—she knew what she should be like at any given moment. Her uninhibited behavior in bed also left Li Yang deeply enthralled, utterly intoxicated.

"Come on, honey. That's easy enough."

The two found a clean Hot Pot Restaurant and sat by the window. "You order, honey. I'm not picky." Li Yang did not care much for this kind of food, especially in such hot weather, so he was simply accompanying his wife for a few bites.

No wonder Xiao Dan had Li Yang so captivated. After being together for so long, she had firmly remembered all of Li Yang's preferences, including what positions he liked her to take in bed. Xiao Dan knew them by heart.

Before long, Xiao Dan had ordered several meat and vegetable dishes. She also got two bottles of beer for Li Yang and a bottle of orange juice for herself. While they waited for the food, Xiao Dan sweetly asked Li Yang,

"Honey, why don't you come home with me for the Mid-Autumn Festival and meet your father-in-law? My grandfather celebrates his birthday every Mid-Autumn Festival. It would be perfect for you to show your face at my home early." Xiao Dan looked at him with eager anticipation.

She now treated every day with Li Yang as if they were already married. Xiao Dan had grown used to slowly falling asleep at night in Li Yang's familiar embrace, surrounded by his familiar scent.

She had also become deeply addicted to the blissful peaks they reached after making love.

So now, apart from Li Yang, Yue Xiaodan's eyes could hold no other man.

She loved Li Yang more than he loved her. No matter what unreasonable demands Li Yang made of her, as long as he liked it, Xiao Dan would carry them out and cooperate without hesitation.

For example, at first she simply could not bring herself to do certain things for Li Yang, but now, whenever he wanted it, Xiao Dan would obediently throw herself into caring for him wholeheartedly.

Li Yang was not made of wood. Even the coldest stone could be warmed.

"Alright, honey. I'll listen to you. Don't worry." Li Yang smiled and patted his chest as he made his promise.

"Hehe, I knew my husband loved me most. Muah." Xiao Dan blew Li Yang a kiss, then gazed at him with a silly smile, her eyes overflowing with affection and sweetness.

Before long, all the dishes had arrived. The two fed each other as they slowly finished the hot pot. Xiao Dan was still like a kitten—she was full after only a few bites, and even secretly drank half a bottle of Li Yang's beer. In the end, she watched her beloved man clean every plate like a whirlwind, and her face blossomed with delight. Able to eat and able to work—that was her concise and accurate assessment of Li Yang.

Li Yang rushed to pay the bill, looking every bit the macho man. Xiao Dan naturally felt overjoyed to be cherished and cared for by him. Even the strongest women needed a man's love. No one was an exception.

"Honey, let's stroll around Freedom Street." Holding Li Yang's hand, Xiao Dan dragged him toward the night market to the north without giving him a chance to object.

With its low prices and wide variety of goods, Freedom Street was also the top choice for most young couples out for a walk.

After making a round, Li Yang bought Xiao Dan all sorts of little accessories and women's items.

Xiao Dan's Sassoon hairstyle had gradually grown into shoulder-length hair. Li Yang had previously said that he liked her with long hair, so Xiao Dan obediently began growing it out for him. She also followed his suggestions regarding the styles of clothes he liked.

Now, whenever Xiao Dan went out, she almost always wore the skirts and shorts Li Yang had bought for her. Li Yang liked her in stockings, so Xiao Dan now had at least twenty pairs in her room, enough to wear a different pair every day. She also had more than a dozen sets of sexy lingerie, all in styles Li Yang liked. Before, Xiao Dan's life had been plain and boring.

Ever since Li Yang entered her life, it was as if a new window to another world had opened before her ordinary days.

After buying several hair clips in different colors, Xiao Dan picked out a few styles Li Yang liked and bought them. They wandered around for a while longer before happily heading home together.

"Honey, carry me." Halfway there, Xiao Dan mischievously jumped onto Li Yang's back. Ignoring the strange looks from passersby, she laughed loudly. Li Yang obediently carried her home in the manner of Pigsy carrying his wife, running all the way as Xiao Dan's silver-bell laughter rang out from the bottom of her heart. Before long, the two returned to their little nest.

Li Yang placed Xiao Dan on the sofa, but the girl still refused to get off him, clinging to him and acting cute in every possible way.

"Honey, didn't you want me to wipe down the ceiling fan?" Li Yang casually said as Xiao Dan squirmed in his arms.

"Alright, honey. I'll get you some water." With that, Xiao Dan slowly climbed off Li Yang. Beneath her rolled-up short skirt, she wore the sheer lace panties Li Yang had bought for her, looking incredibly sexy and alluring.

Smiling wickedly, Li Yang smacked her pert backside. Xiao Dan immediately giggled and ran away, quickly changing into slippers and taking off her stockings.

After getting water for Li Yang, Xiao Dan moved over a small stool. She tugged her tight dress upward before sitting down to watch Li Yang while washing the underwear she had soaked in a basin during the day.

Being a woman really was not easy. This was the conclusion Li Yang had reached after living with Xiao Dan. If a woman was too sloppy, men would not like it; if she was too refined, she would suffer and tire herself out. It was still nice to have a man to cherish her. Xiao Dan was like that. With Li Yang by her side, no matter how troublesome things were, she was willing to endure them.

As the weather grew hotter, Xiao Dan had to change and wash her underwear every day. Li Yang joked that being a man was more comfortable since he did not have to go through so much trouble.

After teasing each other for a while, Li Yang quickly wiped the fan blades until they gleamed.

Once Xiao Dan had finished washing the underwear, she had Li Yang hang it up to dry indoors while she went to make the bed. Since the weather was hot, she put away the mattress pad and replaced it with summer sheets and a thin towel blanket, all brand-new. Once they were done, the two took simple showers. This time, Li Yang did not mess with Xiao Dan. He obediently washed her clean, then went to lie down on the bed.

Xiao Dan slipped a pink camisole over her bare body, while Li Yang lay there openly, completely naked. Xiao Dan ignored him, picked up the hair dryer, and quickly dried her damp hair. Then she put on a face mask, sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, and began reading sales books. She really did love studying.

Li Yang felt bored as he looked at Xiao Dan's smooth, delicate figure and caught the floral scent of her body wash.

Li Yang sniffed and lazily said, "Honey, I want to work out too. What do you think?"

"Of course you can, honey. I'd even love it if, when we're old, you could still make love to me. It's just that it'll be hard." Xiao Dan replied without holding back. After getting used to Li Yang, she had become much more uninhibited herself.

"I can do it. Come on, honey, supervise me. I'll start practicing right now." Li Yang sat up in one motion, looking eager to give it a try.

"Alright, honey." Xiao Dan was energized as well. For the sake of their lasting happiness, she was certainly motivated.

So, under Xiao Dan's supervision and cooperation, Li Yang first warmed up with thirty push-ups and thirty sit-ups.

Li Yang came up with a trick. For the push-ups, he had Xiao Dan lie beneath him, and every time he lowered himself, he kissed her once. The two had a wonderful time. For the sit-ups, he had Xiao Dan sit on top of him, and each time he rose, he kissed her once. It made Li Yang work even harder, while Xiao Dan laughed without stopping, constantly praising his performance and even taking the initiative to give him all sorts of little rewards.

"Alright, honey. From now on, every night before bed, I'll supervise you until you finish your workout before you can sleep. Got it?" Xiao Dan lay in Li Yang's arms, smiling as she watched him gasp for breath.

"Don't worry, honey. I'll increase the intensity in the future. Another day, I'll look online for exercises that can improve male performance, and I'll do them every day. I guarantee I'll make you cry out nonstop when we make love." Li Yang said openly.

"You're so annoying." Xiao Dan bit Li Yang's lip in dissatisfaction.

"Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore, honey. Let's sleep. Tonight, I'll just hold you while we sleep. I'll show you whether I have any self-control. I definitely won't be tempted by your beauty."

Xiao Dan burst out laughing and could not stop. "Alright, honey, let's sleep. I'll see whether you can really do it."

Li Yang then reached over the side of the bed to turn off the light, held Xiao Dan, and tucked the towel blanket around them. The two slowly fell asleep.

Xiao Dan had been feeling restless too. Faced with Li Yang's naked, vigorous body full of masculine hormones, how could she not be tempted? But seeing Li Yang sleeping soundly, she felt sorry for him. Her desire slowly faded, and she fell asleep in his arms.

Early the next morning, the two got up. Since they did not start work until nine, there was still plenty of time. After a night of rest, Li Yang had fully recovered. New skin was gradually appearing beneath the scab on his leg wound.

"Honey, I think it'll leave a scar in the future." Xiao Dan touched Li Yang's wound with her fingertip.

"It's fine. What's a little scar to a real man?" Li Yang looked unconcerned.

"Hehe, my husband is a real man." Xiao Dan praised him sincerely.

"Of course I am. You've tested it so many times already. How could I not be a man?" Li Yang said proudly.

"Get lost. All you know is how to sweet-talk." Xiao Dan pouted unhappily.

"Hehe, don't you just like it when I'm bad to you?" Li Yang grinned lewdly.

"Honey, I'll cook for you. There's still plenty of time." Xiao Dan leisurely kissed Li Yang and asked.

Since they had not exercised the night before, they had gotten up earlier than usual. Otherwise, they would definitely have stayed in bed until the last possible minute.

Just then, Li Yang's phone rang. It was his mother calling.

"What is it, Mom?" Li Yang casually asked as he wrapped an arm around Xiao Dan's slender waist.

"Your brother's wedding date was set a few days ago. It's next Monday. You need to come back two days early and help out." His mother said in her loud voice.

"Got it, Mom. Don't worry." Li Yang was very happy to hear that his older brother was getting married, and he could not help rubbing Xiao Dan's soft curves with his hand.

"Why don't you come home every day? Are you living with that girl?" His mother continued questioning him.

"Oh, no. Don't worry about it. I'll come back when the time comes. It's time for work, so I'm hanging up first."

Hearing Li Yang raise his voice too, Xiao Dan pinched him in dissatisfaction and sternly said, "Speak nicely to my mother-in-law, understand?"

Seeing how serious Xiao Dan looked, Li Yang could not help laughing.

"Oh, oh, oh, you already know how to side with outsiders." As he spoke, he grabbed at Xiao Dan's soft curves again to tease her.

"Of course." Xiao Dan swayed with laughter, twisting her body to keep Li Yang from grabbing her.

After fooling around for a while, Xiao Dan began cooking in her pajamas. There was already clean water in the room, so she did not need to go out into the hallway to fetch any. That was why she dressed so casually.

The landlord had thoughtfully left a small refrigerator in her room, which was just perfect for storing ingredients in the hot weather.

Xiao Dan first put on a pot of rice porridge. There was no need for steamed buns; she only needed to prepare a small cold dish before breakfast was ready.

Once it was done, Xiao Dan served two bowls of rice porridge and placed them on the coffee table. Then she walked to the bed, took off her pajamas, changed into her underwear naked in front of Li Yang, and put on her work dress. Since the weather had become hot, Xiao Dan changed into thigh-high stockings. She could no longer wear pantyhose, or she would feel too stuffy.

"Get up, honey. I'm going to wash up first." Xiao Dan then took her toothbrush and toothpaste outside and began washing up by the sink.

After the two finished their rice porridge, Li Yang also ate all of the cold dish Xiao Dan had made.

"I'll wash the dishes, honey. You rest." As he spoke, Li Yang took the initiative to clean up.

"Honey, I want to go too when your brother gets married." Xiao Dan reminded him with a pout.

"Sure. Just be smart about it and don't let Xu Rui's family see you." Li Yang casually suggested.

"Alright, honey. I guarantee I won't leave a single flaw." Xiao Dan laughed as she made her promise.

It was about time, so the two headed out to work together.

"Honey, I'll make rice for you at noon. Remember to come back early to eat."

"Got it, honey." Li Yang took the initiative to kiss Xiao Dan goodbye on the street, and then they went their separate ways to work.

It was June 1st. When Li Yang got to work, he checked the records of the sales orders he had made last month on the computer. The pay for Jiamei Appliances' self-operated staff was calculated from their base salary plus commission based on their monthly sales orders.

It did not matter whether the item was actually sold by you. As long as the sales order was placed using your employee number, it counted. This was why it was necessary to maintain good relationships with the manufacturers' promoters.

Because promoters could only sell products and did not have the authority to create sales orders, this was a unique feature of Jiamei Appliances' sales system.

Li Yang was quite popular in the Refrigerator and Washing Machine Department, and he was also one of the few men there, so he was favored by many of his female coworkers. Sometimes, they would even voluntarily use Li Yang's employee number to create sales orders, and the resulting commission naturally went to Li Yang.

Because of the big May Day promotion, the Refrigerator and Washing Machine Department had successfully completed the store's target.

Li Yang did the math and figured he would receive more than five thousand yuan in wages. He was immediately overjoyed.

Once I get paid, I definitely need to treat everyone to a meal to show my appreciation. There were only around eight to ten people in the refrigerator and washing machine departments combined, so it would not cost much. After making up his mind, Li Yang began waiting for that exciting day to arrive.

Before long, Zhang Mimi and Liu Yueyue came over to join in the commotion. The two of them were not well liked. Aside from the orders they made through their own sales efforts, they hardly had any others, and it infuriated them. As the saying went, like repelled like while opposites attracted. It really was true.

Working among a crowd of women, Li Yang was the happiest one.

After returning home for lunch, Li Yang told Yue Xiaodan about last month's wages while they were taking their nap. He also mentioned wanting to treat his coworkers to a meal.

"Honey, you're amazing." Xiao Dan happily kissed Li Yang hard with a loud smack. Beaming, she said, "I support your idea of treating your coworkers to a meal too. After all, you'll still need to rely on them to make money in the future."

"But you must always remember that you're a married man. You can't develop feelings for anyone else, understand?" Xiao Dan reminded him, giving Li Yang a kick with her foot.
