This was almost like a knife stabbing into the heart, and Shen Ruyu was so angry that she almost lost her mind.
However, Xu Bin saw this as an opportunity. Casually raising his wine glass and taking a sip, he said, "Yanzi, I am a son-in-law who married into the family because my mom asked me to. I love my wife, so I agreed."
"Your mother scolds me because she loves me, just like how teachers scold you because they care. Going to Xinhui Real Estate to be a security guard is simple too; I don't want to be detached from society. At least this way, I maintain some social skills. The pay is a bit low, but that's not important to me."
"Being a security guard, interacting with the lower classes of society, and dealing with those bitter and sarcastic women, it's all good for me."
*Ding...*
*"Attractiveness towards the seductive mother-in-law: 77%. Everything is permissible except sexual intercourse."*
Xu Bin knew he had done the right thing. Seeing the jealous look in Yanzi's eyes, he knew that his mother-in-law felt better.
The root of the problem was that Yanzi, this attractive widow, had a son and held onto the old tradition of looking down on women who had daughters. Even though times had changed, some old thoughts persisted.
Xu Bin immediately sneered, "A filial son or a son-in-law is enough. Having ten sons who are not filial is useless."
These words were quite provocative, and Yanzi's face turned a bit pale.
Normally, Shen Ruyu's personality would seize this opportunity, but this time, she took a different approach: "Son-in-law, you're wrong. Yanzi's son is still in school, so it's too early to talk about filial piety."
"Even if it's a mediocre university, he's still a student. But now, university graduates earn less than construction workers. Yanzi, you should consider your son's employment prospects."
Yanzi immediately rolled her eyes and said, "None of your business. You've been idle all your life, so what right do you have to talk?"
Shen Ruyu smugly replied, "I may be idle, but I'm beautiful and lucky. I was taken care of by my husband in my youth and now by my son-in-law."
Listening to these women's sarcastic remarks was entertaining. Xu Bin and his wife, Yao Nan, exchanged smiles, finding it amusing.
After the meal, Xu Bin generously booked a four-person massage room in the recreation area and ordered massage and foot reflexology services.
Yanzi worried, "It's so late. What if there's no place to sleep in the lobby?"
The rest area in the Ocean World is free for overnight stays, and many people choose to stay there because it's more cost-effective than a hotel. The downside is that you have to secure a spot in advance, or you might have to pay for a room.
The chairs in the Ocean World rest area are large and comfortable, but there are limited numbers, creating a sense of scarcity. If you can't find a spot, you'll have to pay for a room.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Bin said, "Don't worry, I've already booked a sea-view room for tonight."
"That's so expensive!"
Shen Ruyu winced at the thought.
The Ocean Hotel is a five-star luxury hotel, and everyone rushes to secure a spot in the rest area because the rooms are so expensive. A sea-view room sounds extravagant.
Xu Bin explained with a smile, "Mom, don't worry about saving money when we're out. The rest area is noisy and crowded, with people snoring and drunkards. It's safer to stay in a room."
Even the usually frugal Yao Nan agreed, "Yes, Mom. Xu Bin has considered everything. It's important to get a good night's rest."
They enjoyed the foot massages, body massages, and ear cleaning. Despite her initial reluctance, Shen Ruyu also enjoyed the experience.
Next, the three women indulged in facial cleansing and mask services. Taking this opportunity, Xu Bin entered the system.
He casually picked a code and extracted the second blind box reward.
*Ding...*
*"Little Sister Task Reward x2 Activated."*
*"Congratulations, Host! You have received a functional reward: Emotion Display."*
*"This skill, when used on a task target, will instantly display their emotional state, assisting in the completion of the task."*
Xu Bin opened his eyes and felt two new items in his inventory: Male Confusion Incense and the Emotion Display.
Looking at his wife and mother-in-law, both silent with face masks on, he felt no need to use the skill on his wife, as he already knew her well. His relationship with his sister-in-law was progressing smoothly, and his mother-in-law's affection was rising. The only one left was his distant relationship with his sister-in-law, Yao Xin, whose task line had not yet opened.
Thinking for a moment, Xu Bin used the skill on his mother-in-law, Shen Ruyu.
Instantly, her affection rate showed 75%, with additional notes: Comfortable, Relaxed, Proud.
After their pampering session, they felt so relaxed that their steps were light and airy. It was almost midnight when they returned to the room. Yanzi furrowed her brow and said, "You only booked one room?"
Shen Ruyu, already in the middle bed, glared at her and snapped, "You're not sleeping on the floor, so what's the big deal? If you want to sleep alone, book your own room."
"Whatever, I'm not picky!"
Yanzi lay down on the bed near the bathroom and sneered, "I've seen it all. If they want to be intimate, let them. I'll just watch."
Shen Ruyu retorted, "You wish! You're almost menopausal, so act your age."
Xu Bin adjusted the temperature and closed the curtains, leaving the room in dim light. He then said with a smile, "Mom, Yao Nan has to get up early for work. We're going to sleep now. You and Yanzi can chat."
With that, Xu Bin pulled his wife into the bed, and under the covers, he started to undress. "Honey, it's uncomfortable to sleep in clothes. Let's take them off."
Earlier, Xu Bin had noticed that they were all wearing bras. His wife, Yao Nan, was conservative, but he didn't expect the other two to be so modest.
"It's uncomfortable to sleep in a bra. Come on, we're covered by the blanket!"
Yao Nan hesitated slightly, but since they were both in bras and it was uncomfortable, she reluctantly complied, blushing as she took off her bathrobe and bra, placing them aside. Xu Bin quickly followed suit, undressing completely and placing his clothes on a nearby chair.
Compared to Yao Nan's shyness, the other two women were more open, especially after drinking so much red wine. They chatted freely, and it seemed they might talk all night.
Finally, in bed, Yao Nan bit her lip and panted softly as her husband embraced her from behind, his hands exploring her now D-cup breasts. After a few moments of caressing, her nipples hardened, and her body grew hot.
