After the Divorce, I Unlocked a Perfect Life

"Did you prepare a fun new gadget?"

"Guess."

"I’m sure you did."

Lin Jiang got up, swept Xu Lin up by the waist, walked into the bedroom, and placed her on the bed.

"You can start your performance now."

"It’s not time yet, but you’ll find out."

Lin Jiang was completely baffled. Just then, Xu Lin sat up, went to the closet, took out a pair of stockings, and slowly pulled them onto her legs.

Xu Lin held out for the first half, but by the second, she had gone completely limp.

"Come on."

"Hm? Is it safe today?"

"I’m using something inside. From now on, you don’t have to hold back."

As she spoke, Xu Lin actively moved to meet Lin Jiang. "This is the little surprise I prepared for you."

"Isn’t this a bit reckless? This sort of thing is bad for your body."

"It’s not as serious as you think. Besides, I like this feeling too. This is the only way to really enjoy it to the fullest."

As she spoke, Xu Lin looked back at Lin Jiang, her face charming and flushed.

"Hurry up. I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since you messaged me."

Lin Jiang didn’t hold back any longer and gave in to Xu Lin’s wishes.

The moment it was over, Xu Lin lay prone on the bed, an expression of pure satisfaction on her face.

...

The next morning, when Lin Jiang opened his eyes, he heard the sound of Xu Lin cooking outside.

After washing up, he went to the kitchen and hugged her from behind.

The moment he touched her, Xu Lin let out a soft gasp.

"I’m cooking. Don’t mess around."

Xu Lin tilted her neck up, letting Lin Jiang bury his head against her collarbone.

Lin Jiang reached out, turned off the gas valve on the stove, then lifted Xu Lin’s nightgown and began his morning exercise.

...12,843 characters omitted here...

Their "battle" began in the kitchen and ended on the sofa.

After so many rounds of "playing cards," Lin Jiang had discovered that sometimes, leaving clothes on was more interesting and felt even better than being naked.

Just like Xu Lin at this moment, who was still wearing her nightgown and cleaning herself up.

Pulling out a few tissues, Xu Lin prepared for a quick wipe-down before taking a shower.

But just then, the sound of a door opening echoed through the apartment.

Xu Lin jumped in fright. Forgetting about wiping herself, she quickly pulled down her nightgown and straightened her hair, trying to look more presentable.

At the same time, the door opened, and Zhao Wenxuan and his maternal grandmother, Wang Xiazhi, appeared at the doorway.

"Uncle Lin, you’re here too."

Zhao Wenxuan walked over happily, holding an Ultraman figure in his hand.

But Wang Xiazhi stood at the door. Seeing the state they were in, she knew exactly what they had been doing.

But as an elder, she could only pretend she didn’t know anything.

After all, he had bought this apartment and helped her daughter a lot with her career. It was only natural for things to happen between a man and a woman.

"Xiaojiang, you’re here," Wang Xiazhi said with a smile, breaking the silence.

"Auntie," Lin Jiang replied with a polite nod.

Wang Xiazhi nodded, then tactfully called over to Zhao Wenxuan.

"Why don’t you let Grandma take you out to play for a while? It’s such a nice day, don’t stay cooped up at home," Xu Lin said, hoping they would leave quickly so she could go clean up.

"I’m not in a hurry. I have something I want to talk to Uncle Lin about."

Wang Xiazhi also knew that Zhao Wenxuan liked playing with Lin Jiang, so for a moment, she didn’t know how to persuade him.

"Go play with your Uncle Lin for a bit then, but don’t cause him any trouble."

After saying this casually, Xu Lin hurried off to the bathroom.

"Got it."

"Have fun with your Uncle Lin."

Wang Xiazhi also went to the bathroom, intending to say something to Xu Lin.

As soon as she entered, she saw Xu Lin wiping her thighs. There was a distinct smell in the air.

They were both adults, and given Xu Lin’s actions, she knew at a glance what she was doing.

"Mom, why did you come in?"

Even though it was her own mother, she was still extremely embarrassed to be caught doing something like this and quickly pulled her nightgown down.

"You’re a grown woman, how can you be so careless? What if there’s an accident? Do you want to have another baby?"

Wang Xiazhi wouldn’t meddle in *that* sort of thing, but she would definitely bring up the issue of safety.

"It’s fine. I took precautions. There won’t be an accident."

"I remember you two used to fight about this. You refused to use that thing no matter what. What made you change your mind?"

"I’m doing it willingly now, so there’s no need to worry so much."

Xu Lin looked at Wang Xiazhi and said, "Mom, you’re not going to meddle in this part of my life too, are you?"

"I won’t meddle in you young people’s affairs. You have your own mind, so it’s fine as long as you’ve thought it through. But you must get regular check-ups."

"I know. I studied medicine, how could I not know about this stuff?"

"As long as you know what you’re doing, that’s fine. I won’t interfere in other things, but this is no laughing matter."

"I know. You should go out now. I’m going to take a shower."

"Mm."

Coming out of the bathroom, Wang Xiazhi went to the kitchen. Lin Jiang and Zhao Wenxuan were playing in the living room.

"Uncle Lin, are you busy with work? I want to ask you for a favor."

"A favor? Why so formal?"

Zhao Wenxuan’s expression was unusually serious. Lin Jiang figured he probably wanted to buy something that Xu Lin wouldn’t get for him.

"Did a new Ultraman model come out? Where do they sell it? I’ll go buy it for you."

"It’s not a new Ultraman. My school is organizing a summer camp. I want to go, but my mom doesn’t have time to go with me. Do you have time? Please come with me."

’Here’s my chance.’

"When does the summer camp start?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"You guys must be on summer break now, right?"

"It started yesterday. The summer camp is right after. All my classmates signed up. I’m the only one who didn’t."

Zhao Wenxuan looked gloomy. The Ultraman toy in his hand didn’t seem so great anymore.

Lin Jiang thought about his current tasks; they were mostly taken care of.

The only thing left was to discuss the group’s organizational structure with Shen Qingqiu.

But that wasn’t urgent. He could go with Zhao Wenxuan, or maybe persuade Xu Lin to go with him instead.

"Has registration for the event closed?"

"I don’t know if it’s over or not. We can ask Teacher Qiqi. She’s going too."

’If Jiang Xiaoqi is going too, then this won’t be a problem.’

"Not a big deal. Leave it to me. I’ll try to convince your mom first, but I have one condition."

Zhao Wenxuan’s eyes lit up.

"Uncle Lin, what’s the condition?"

"Your grandma and grandpa miss you very much. You should go stay with them more often and spend more time with them."

"No problem! I’ll just go live at Grandma’s house from now on and not come back."

"Erm... you don’t have to go that far. It’s okay to come back and stay here sometimes too. This is your home, after all."

"As long as I can go to summer camp, I’ll do anything."

"Alright, leave it to me."

Just then, Xu Lin finished her shower. She came out wearing a pure cotton nightgown with a towel wrapped around her hair.

"Mom..."

Zhao Wenxuan threw his arms around Xu Lin.

"What’s wrong?"

Zhao Wenxuan didn’t say anything, looking at Lin Jiang instead.

Xu Lin also looked between the two of them. She had a feeling they had been plotting something.

"The school is organizing a summer camp. Why aren’t you letting him go?"

As soon as she heard "summer camp," Xu Lin understood what was going on. She put on a stern face and looked at Zhao Wenxuan.

"Why did you talk to your Uncle Lin about this? If I don’t agree, do you think he can take you?!"

"Mom..."

"It’s not a big deal. Don’t scare him."

Xu Lin didn’t respond to Lin Jiang, keeping her eyes fixed on Zhao Wenxuan.

"Zhao Wenxuan, have you forgotten all your manners? Who told you you could say anything!"

As she spoke, Xu Lin lifted her foot and took off her slipper.

"If I don’t discipline you for three days, you’ll be tearing the tiles off the roof. You’re getting way too bold."

In Xu Lin’s view, this was an issue of upbringing, something she absolutely could not indulge.

"Uncle Lin."

Zhao Wenxuan ran behind Lin Jiang. "Uncle Lin, help! My mom’s going to hit me!"

"Calm down, calm down. You were the one in the wrong here. You can’t take your anger out on the child."

Lin Jiang could understand Xu Lin’s feelings. If he had done something similar as a child, he would have gotten a beating too.

’But times are different. Using the old generation’s methods is a bit outdated now.’

"It’s not that I won’t go with him. I have a business trip to Beijing the day after tomorrow. I just can’t make the time."

Xu Lin’s anger hadn’t subsided. If Lin Jiang had been a step slower just now, her slipper would have already landed.

This was the disadvantage of being a single mom. The moment something came up, she couldn’t get away.

"I can just go with him. You focus on your work. I’m pretty free recently anyway," Lin Jiang said.

"You still have a lot to do. I don’t want to waste your time. Just let him stay home."

"Everything’s pretty much taken care of. You don’t have to feel burdened by it," Lin Jiang persuaded.

Xu Lin put her hands on her hips and looked at Lin Jiang. "Go on, spoil him then."

"Don’t I spoil you too?"
