Now a married woman herself, Wen Wan empathized with her mother's struggles over the years.
"What's there to be shy about? Mom's not an outsider. She's thrilled to see us happy, right, Mom?" Li Bin grinned, slyly withdrawing his hand from Shen Han's dripping cunt, eyeing her flushed, lustful expression.
His mother-in-law was clearly ravenous. His fingers, pulled from her cunt, were slick with sticky, glistening juices. When he'd probed her, her warm, wet, empty cunt had clenched, as if trying to swallow his finger whole.
"Exactly! My dear son knows how to treat his mom, unlike you, you little brat. I raised you for nothing—you treat me like an outsider!" Shen Han gazed dreamily at Li Bin, licking her lips with unfulfilled desire, her voice trembling awkwardly.
Being teased by her son-in-law beside her daughter set Shen Han ablaze, her body burning, itching unbearably, as if ants were crawling inside her.
Her longing for her son-in-law's body, mixed with the shame of betraying her daughter, left her trembling with guilt and torment.
On one side was the son-in-law she yearned for, who kept her awake at night, stoking the fire of her desires and promising a second youth. On the other was her beloved daughter, her closest kin.
Shen Han knew her actions were unethical, immoral, and utterly shameful.
She knew if her affair with Li Bin were exposed, she'd be condemned by all, ruined forever.
Yet she couldn't stop, unable to pull herself from this sinful path.
"Mom, what are you saying? I don't treat you like an outsider! It's just… doing this in front of you feels disrespectful…" Wen Wan pouted, feeling wronged, her heart aching at her mother's earlier needy, envious expression.
A devoted daughter, Wen Wan adored and obeyed her mother, hating to see her sad.
As the eldest, she was the most filial and attuned to her mother's loneliness, understanding her inner emptiness better than anyone.
Her father, often away on business, rarely shared a bed with her mother, maybe a few times a year.
At her mother's age, craving a man's companionship, living alone must be agonizing, Wen Wan thought, feeling her pain.
She knew her mother was lonely, yearning for a man's care.
"Mom… now that Li Bin's earning money and we're not struggling, why don't we ask Dad to stop doing sales and traveling? He could take an easier job, stay home, and keep you company… That way, our family can be together, happy. That's better than anything," Wen Wan suggested earnestly, looking at her mother.
Shen Han and Li Bin froze, startled by her sudden proposal.
Their first thought was whether Wen Wan suspected their affair, but on second thought, it didn't seem likely.
"Bin…Bin… why bring this up? Your… your dad's doing fine…" Shen Han blushed, flustered, stammering, "I'm fine too. I've been used to this for years. If your dad came back, we'd just fight. Keeping distance actually makes our marriage better."
Early on, Shen Han and her husband Wen Xingsheng had a decent relationship, but after she caught him cheating, and with his long stints away for sales, their bond faded.
Even when he was home, they slept apart, like strangers, with no intimacy for years.
They slept at opposite ends of the bed, each to their own.
In the past, Shen Han had hoped he'd stay home to be the family's anchor, even if their love had faded, for stability.
But now, entangled with her son-in-law, she wished her husband would never return.
If he did, sneaking around with Li Bin would be harder.
Besides, with her son-in-law as the family's true pillar, Shen Han was more than satisfied, trusting him to lead the household with confidence and peace of mind.
