My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 438: Mistakenly Kissing Han Chunyan

Everyone laughed and joked. After an explanation, Han Chunming realized that Lou Xiao'e was just his sister's new friend. Looking at his sister's beautiful clothes, he said enviously, "Sis, when did you become so rich that you can buy such nice clothes?"

Han Chunyan said with a smile, "I didn't buy this. Xiao'e gave it to me."

Han Chunming was immediately filled with envy. Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Your brother is really interesting."

Han Chunyan said irritably, "It's him. He's always causing trouble and doesn't take his work seriously."

Han Chunming didn't stay for more than two minutes before saying, "Mom, Sister, I'm going out now."

Han's mother quickly asked, "Where are you going, Xiao Wuzi?"

Han Chunming said, "Mom, I'm going to go play with Su Meng."

Han Chunyan quickly called out to her mother, "Mom, don't mind him. He's always with Su Meng and doesn't know how to go to work properly. He's an adult."

Chen Xueru said with a smile, "Why isn't your brother at work?"

Han Chunyan shook her head and said, "No, it's too difficult to get a job now."

Chen Xueru said, "Why don't you have him come and help out at my shop?"

Han Chunyan quickly shook her head and said, "Forget it, with his personality, he definitely won't stay. If he ruins your shop's business, I can't afford to compensate him."

Chen Xueru thought about it and agreed, so she didn't bring it up again.

Soon, the three finished their conversation, and Han's mother said with a smile, "Don't leave today, have lunch at my house."

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said, "Auntie, don't bother. Let's go out to eat and have a good chat with Chunyan."

After thinking for a moment, Han's mother said, "Alright then, go and come back soon."

The three of them left quickly, and Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "Xue Ru, should we go home first? Let the husband be surprised. There's a really good hot pot place near our house."

Chen Xueru nodded and said, "That's fine too."

The three of them quickly headed towards Nanluoguxiang and got into a rickshaw. Han Chunyan said somewhat shyly, "How about we walk?"

Chen Xueru said with a smile, "Don't go. I'm heavily pregnant, but I'm not like you." Lou Xiao'e also said, "If you're with us today, just listen to us." Han Chunyan had no choice but to give up.

Soon the three arrived at the entrance of courtyard house number 89. Lou Xiao'e deliberately stood behind the two of them, while Chen Xueru took Han Chunyan's hand and quickly walked inside.

Zhang Lei, who was soothing the child, saw the two return and said with a smile, "You're back? What clothes did you buy? Did you have fun shopping?"

Chen Xueru said with a smile, "I'm so happy, so very happy. I also made a very, very good friend."

Han Chunyan was stunned when she saw the tall and handsome Zhang Lei walking towards her. She had originally thought that Lou Xiao'e and the others were marrying older men, after all, the dowry was generous and there were many wives. But the man in front of her was about the same age as her, and she was momentarily lost in thought.

Zhang Lei stepped forward, pulled the two women into his arms, and kissed them both. Chen Xueru was startled; the woman beside her wasn't Lou Xiao'e, but Han Chunyan. Han Chunyan, bewildered by the kisses, touched her face and angrily slapped Zhang Lei.

The slap stunned the entire courtyard; no one expected anyone in the house to dare hit Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei was also bewildered and asked, "Xiao'e, what's wrong?" His first thought was that Lou Xiao'e was sick.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e quickly ran over, rubbing Zhang Lei's face and saying, "Honey, honey, are you alright? Does it hurt?"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the two identical Lou Xiao'e. Ye Shuhua ran over and exclaimed, "Wow, amazing! They look exactly alike!" The others were speechless. In other families, it's two people who look alike, but in your family, it's three who look alike.

Han Chunyan, who had been kissed, ran outside crying. Zhang Lei, bewildered, asked, "What's going on?"

Lou Xiao'e quickly shouted, "Husband, hurry and chase after her! This is our new friend, Han Chunyan."

Upon hearing the name "Han Chunyan," Zhang Lei's mind went blank. Wasn't that Han Chunming's sister from "Under the Zhengyang Gate"? How come he's encountered a new plot twist?

Chen Xueru urged, "Husband, hurry up and go after her. She's a friend we just met today. Quickly coax her back."

Zhang Lei quickly ran outside and found Han Chunyan crying by a large tree outside the door. He went up to her and said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't know. It's just that you look so much like my wife."

Seeing that Han Chunyan was still crying, he pleaded, "Grandma, please, stop crying, okay? I hate it when you women cry. If you're still not satisfied, hit me a couple more times, hit this side, hit the other side so I can balance things out, okay?"

Han Chunyan chuckled and said, "Who wants to hit you? You're dreaming."

Zhang Lei quickly said, "You forgive me?"

Han Chunyan said irritably, "Who forgave you? I was just a guest at your house. Who gave you permission to kiss me?"

Zhang Lei said dismissively, "It's my fault, it's my fault. You can hit me or punish me as you please, just don't cry."

Han Chunyan looked at Zhang Lei, a hint of affection rising in her heart, but then she remembered how many wives he had married, and quickly suppressed the thought. Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Don't be angry, why don't you come home with me first?"

Han Chunyan said anxiously, "Who wants to marry you? Who wants to go home with you?"

Zhang Lei, bewildered, explained, "Aren't you Xiao'e and Xue Ru's friend? I'm inviting you to my house as a guest."

Han Chunyan blushed with embarrassment, realizing she had misunderstood. Zhang Lei noticed her awkwardness and said, "How about this, you come home with me first and chat with Xiao'e and Xueru. Don't cry here, okay? If you cry here, people will think I'm being a pervert and they might arrest me."

Han Chunyan said irritably, "You're just being a hooligan, you deserve to be arrested."

Zhang Lei quickly begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, I deserve it. Please, grandma, for Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru's sake, come back with me. They're waiting for me to coax you back, otherwise what if they won't let me sleep in their bed tonight?"

Han Chunyan said, "Shameless." Then she turned to leave.

Zhang Lei quickly said, "Didn't you invite me to your house? Hurry up and lead the way." Zhang Lei smiled and replied, "Okay, okay."

Soon, Zhang Lei brought Han Chunyan back to the courtyard. Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru had already told everyone what had happened, and everyone understood that the two just looked alike. Ye Shuqin stepped forward, took Han Chunyan's hand, and said, "Chunyan, I'm so sorry you had to suffer like this. I'll teach Zhang Lei a lesson later and make him apologize properly."

Han Chunyan whispered, "It's okay, he didn't do it on purpose." Everyone was secretly pleased and smiled at each other.

Everyone started chatting, while Zhang Lei idly played with the child. Just then, Lou Xiao'e popped out, pulled Zhang Lei aside, and said with a smile, "Honey, how about this gift?"

Zhang Lei asked irritably, "What gift?"

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "Han Chunyan, what do you think of her as your wife?"

Zhang Lei was stunned, imagining the scene of stirring up two hornets—it would be like kicking a hornet's nest! He pretended to be serious and said, "Don't talk nonsense, do you think they would agree to that?"

Lou Xiao'e curled her lip and said, "Pah, what a hypocrite."

Zhang Lei scratched his head and said, "What do you mean by being hypocritical? I'm just respecting women, okay?" As he spoke, he hugged Lou Xiao'e and kissed her.

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "Don't worry, husband, I'll definitely help you win her over."
