Pillow Wind 1

Lin Xingwen applied for a job at the teahouse and caught the eye of a wealthy matron, who took him as a live-in son-in-law. To his surprise, the matron was involved with another man; originally, he planned to endure it for the sake of money, but he didn't expect that the matron was genuinely trying to help him. To defend his home and protect his manly dignity, Lin Xingwen had to develop his own power, grow reluctantly, and protect the wealthy matron.

Wimpish son-in-law

I stepped further away from Zhou Xiaoxiao, but she advanced towards me step by step. Only when she was a mere step away did she come to a halt.


I knew Zhou Xiaoxiao had something to say. Sure enough, she began, "Mr. Lin, or Lin Xingwen, may I address you as 'Wen'?"


I took a step back, "Miss Zhou, that's going a bit far, please continue to call me Mr. Lin."


Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't seem annoyed and maintained a breezy smile, "You don't need to be so wary of me, Mr. Lin. I just feel that we share a common plight and probably have more to talk about."


I didn't believe that Zhou Xiaoxiao was here just for a simple chat. After all, anyone who could stand out among a host of women wasn't likely to be a pushover.


I looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao, my expression revealing nothing, "Miss Zhou's words seem off—the situations we are in are not the same. Saying we share a common plight doesn't seem quite right."
