Chapter 45: Chapter 0045 Eavesdropping_1
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Xiong was still worried that Tang Ning would tattle to Yang Xinyi, but when he got back to the room, he noticed that Yang Xinyi didn’t seem any different—apparently, she was too embarrassed to talk about it.
After all, it would be quite humiliating for her to bring it up.
“Wife, I’m going to take a shower.”
Ye Xiong came out of his room with clothes in hand and headed to Yang Xinyi’s room to shower.
“Stop right there.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t you dare use my bathtub, don’t touch any of my things, and especially don’t do anything disgusting in there,” Yang Xinyi warned.
“What counts as disgusting? Does taking a dump count?” Ye Xiong asked.
“You…” Yang Xinyi was almost driven mad by anger.
Ten minutes later, Ye Xiong emerged from the bathroom, dressed in his pajamas, and flopped down onto the bed.
“Get up, sleep on the floor.”
Yang Xinyi pointed to a blanket that had already been spread out on the floor, ordering him.
“Wife, the floor is too damp; it’s easy to catch rheumatism,” Ye Xiong pleaded with a pitiful look on his face.
Unfortunately, Yang Xinyi completely ignored him, climbed into her own bed, and began to sleep.
“I’m warning you, if you dare touch me, it’ll be either your death or mine,” Yang Xinyi declared in advance.
With no other choice, Ye Xiong had to sleep on the floor fully clothed.
Honestly, sharing a room with such a great beauty was new to Ye Xiong; how could any man sleep soundly in the same room with a great beauty?
Just as he was trying to force himself to sleep, he suddenly heard a soft sound of footsteps.
Ye Xiong’s hearing was incredibly sharp, and he knew right away that someone was eavesdropping at the door.
Recognizing the familiar footsteps, Ye Xiong couldn’t help but laugh.
This fool Tang Ning really thought that their marriage was a sham and had come to eavesdrop!
Thinking this, Ye Xiong played a small video on his phone, and the room instantly filled with ongoing sounds.
Yang Xinyi was about to fall asleep but was awakened by the noise. Just as she was about to grab the scissors and go after him upon realizing that Ye Xiong was watching porn, Ye Xiong pointed to the door and gestured her to stay quiet.
Through the crack in the door, Yang Xinyi saw a shadow, seemingly standing at the door listening in.
“Could it be Aunt and Uncle doubted us and specially came over to eavesdrop?” Yang Xinyi frowned.
However, at such a critical moment, she definitely wouldn’t argue with Ye Xiong; otherwise, they would reveal the truth about their sham marriage.
Just then, Ye Xiong suddenly shouted.
“Wife, your skin is so smooth…” In order to make it more realistic, Ye Xiong played the small video and yelled loudly.
Hearing his words, Yang Xinyi’s face turned crimson.
This guy was exaggerating too much; usually, it’s the woman who moans, not the man.
What am I even thinking about?
As Ye Xiong watched the small video and moaned, the sounds got too sensual. At first, Yang Xinyi listened, but after a short while, she couldn’t take it anymore, and covered her ears with the blanket to block out the noise.
Outside the room, a petite figure crouched near the door, listening with great interest.
“I never would’ve guessed that my cousin, always so cold and distant, could become like this. Could this be the repressed type the rumors speak of?” Tang Ning said, her face flushed.
“Wife, I’m going to get some water to drink,” Ye Xiong said and pretended to walk to the door.
“Oh no, Brother-in-law is coming out.”
Tang Ning was startled; if they found out she was eavesdropping, she would die of embarrassment.
She turned and fled in a hurry, and in her anxiety, she even lost one of her shoes.
Ye Xiong stepped outside and saw a shoe on the ground. He picked it up, brought it into the room, tossed it on the floor, and laughed, “Wife, your cousin is really something, sneaking over to eavesdrop. Good thing I reacted quickly, or she would have found out.”
“Alright, hurry up and go to sleep!” Yang Xinyi glanced at the time. It was already midnight, and she was dead tired.
At two in the morning, when humans enter deep sleep, it’s also the best time to get up to no good.
Ye Xiong got up from the floor and, like a monkey, stealthily slid to the side of the bed, lifted the blanket, and prepared to sneak in for some sleep.
He had his excuse all figured out. He would deny it to his death tomorrow that he had gone to bed to sleep.
Sleepwalking, that’s right, sleepwalking.
If sleepwalkers can be innocent of murder, then all the more for sleeping in a bed.
He gently lifted the blanket and smelled the unique body fragrance of a young girl. That scent made Ye Xiong linger and forget to return.
His wife’s body really was fragrant, indeed worthy of being the number one beauty of Jiangnan.
Just as he was about to lie down, he suddenly discovered that Yang Xinyi was holding something cold in her hand. On closer inspection, it was a pair of scissors.
Oh boy.
Instantly, Ye Xiong clenched his legs together and jumped off the bed, losing all his bile.
After dawn, he could use the excuse of sleepwalking for accidentally sleeping in the bed, but could Yang Xinyi use the excuse of sleepwalking to snip him off?
For the sake of the happiness of his lower half, Ye Xiong decided not to take the risk and obediently retreated.
Of course, before retreating, he took away Yang Xinyi’s scissors. Scissors could snip off himself, but they could also accidentally injure her.
The next morning, Yang Xinyi woke up and leapt out of bed.
“Damn, how could I have slept so deeply? I didn’t get taken advantage of, did I?” Yang Xinyi quickly checked her body and, seeing nothing amiss, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Her gaze fell on the table, where a pair of scissors lay. It must have been that guy, afraid that she would hurt herself, who had taken them out.
At that thought, a warm current suddenly welled up in her heart!
This guy, he wasn’t as bad as she imagined!
After washing up and getting dressed, she went downstairs. Her aunt and her family of three were already sitting there. Ye Xiong was chatting with them, laughter echoing through the hall.
This guy was really good at lifting spirits, able to stir up the atmosphere anytime.
“Xinyi, I didn’t expect Ye Xiong’s breakfast to be so delicious. Come and try it,” Yang Yueru exclaimed.
“Even with cucumber and soy sauce, he managed to cook up such a taste. I have to admit it,” Tang Jianjun nodded as well.
Tang Ning didn’t say anything, but his wolfish devouring spoke louder than words.
“Xinyi, if you hadn’t already married Ye Xiong, I would have wanted to snatch him away and introduce him to Xiao Ning!” Yang Yueru said with a laugh.
“Where, my aunt is too kind,” Ye Xiong laughed and gave Yang Xinyi a nod.
That clearly meant to say, did you hear that? Others treat your husband as a treasure, but you treat him like grass.
Yang Xinyi rolled her eyes as if she hadn’t seen a thing.
Seeing Tang Ning eating breakfast obediently, Ye Xiong couldn’t resist and said, “Strange, there was a slipper at my room’s door last night. I wonder which mouse dragged it there?”
Hearing his words, Tang Ning’s face instantly turned red with fear. She frantically made eyes at Ye Xiong, her look clearly pleading for him to let her off the hook.
It turned out that this daring young girl was so afraid of her own dad. No wonder she always acted like the obedient girl.
It seemed she too had her Achilles’ heel.
After eating, Yang Yueru and Tang Jianjun bid farewell. Tang Ning, however, did not leave but stayed behind, saying she wanted to play for a few more days before going back.
“Play for three more days at most. The college entrance exams are coming, so you must go home and study,” Tang Jianjun ordered.
Tang Ning nodded desperately.
As soon as Tang Guoping and Yang Yueru left, Tang Ning collapsed onto the sofa, almost in a state of exhaustion.
“Finally got those two old geezers out of here.”
“You shouldn’t talk about your own parents like that, shut your mouth,” Yang Xinyi scolded.
Unconcerned, Tang Ning turned to look at Ye Xiong, her eyes rolling again. “Cousin, I’ve got big news to tell you. Brother-in-law has come out of the closet.”
