“Cousin-in-law, I didn’t do it on purpose, I’m sorry,” Tang Ning said pitifully.
“It’s okay,” Ye Xiong grabbed some paper towels, wiped his face clean, and said generously, “I’ll go take a shower and come back down to continue drinking.”
Damn, this dummy really took a big loss.
Ye Xiong trudged upstairs, quickly showered and changed clothes, and came back down after ten minutes.
When he saw the table full of empty skewer sticks, he was stunned.
Could these two female tyrants really eat that much? In such a short time, they’d devoured dozens of skewers?
Don’t you know how to share, or have any manners? I drove over ten kilometers to buy that.
With sharp eyes, Ye Xiong saw a big chicken wing left in front of Yang Xinyi and quickly pounced on it.
But before he could reach it, Yang Xinyi had already stuffed the last wing into her mouth, took a bite, and said, “Ye Xiong, where did you buy this barbecue from, the taste is off.”
Ye Xiong felt like crying; this was just too bullying!
“Wife, street food is really dirty, those guys don’t wash their hands, sweat drips onto the meat, the oil is gutter oil, the meat is from dead cows… in short, it’s as dirty as it gets, do you still want to eat it?”
Ye Xiong’s eyes gleamed with hope as he badmouthed the barbecue.
He felt so disgusted he could spit out the saliva in his mouth—he now expected her to vomit the food she’d eaten.
However, Yang Xinyi didn’t stop eating; she actually ate with even more gusto.
“Go on, keep eating, I’m listening,” she said.
“You’re not afraid of the dirt?” Ye Xiong asked, incredulous.
“I deal with a dirty man like you every day, what’s a little barbecue?” she retorted.
Her point was, Ye Xiong was much dirtier than the barbecue.
Yang Xinyi used to be obsessive about cleanliness, so what’s with her current behavior? Not a single trace of her neat freak self.
Ye Xiong was deeply hurt. He glanced at the beer on the table, which was untouched. He had wanted to find an opportunity to get his wife and sister-in-law drunk and have a wild night, but ended up losing troops along with his lady.
His stomach growled with hunger. With no other choice, Ye Xiong opened a bottle of wine and drank it sullenly.
Spurt!
Tang Ning, sitting beside him, finally couldn’t hold back her laughter and said, “Cousin-in-law, look here, ta-da!”
Tang Ning took out a bag from under the table and opened it, revealing about twenty skewers of barbecue.
“Tang Ning, you’re the best, you deserve a reward. I’ll take you flying tomorrow,” Ye Xiong said excitedly.
“These are what your cousin left behind. I’m not that kind-hearted. If it weren’t for her stopping me, I would have finished them all,” Tang Ning said.
Ye Xiong looked at Yang Xinyi and smiled, “Wife, you’re really great!”
Her heart fluttered at his simple three-word phrase!
A woman’s life pursuit, in summary, is nothing more than these few words.
Due to gender reasons, women ultimately cannot focus on careers like men do. They need love, need to manage a home, and need to bear and raise children. Even the most capable career women long for a strong pair of arms.
The man before her, although shameless, turned out to be quite exceptional upon closer interaction.
There were times when he indeed touched her heart.
Like when he would move her scissors away during sleep; or when she fell ill, just a phone call and he would return immediately to take her to the hospital for treatment.
If it wasn’t for her, he didn’t know what would have become of him by now.
This man had extraordinary abilities; looking at how he handled the poisoning incident at Mingyang International Hotel, turning a nearly bankrupt establishment into a thriving one, and how he managed to save Tang Ning in such a short time, it was evident that he was capable and reliable.
Women were certainly not lacking in his life, Du Yuehua and even his close friend Xiao Fangfang seemed to have a bit of a crush on him.
If only he weren’t such a jerk.
“Wife, why are you staring at me like that? Have you discovered that you’re kind of falling for me?” Ye Xiong said with a laugh.
“Get lost.” Yang Xinyi’s recently kindled affection plunged straight down.
“Brother-in-law, aren’t you stating the obvious? Who do you think my cousin is? She’s the undisputed number-one beauty in Jiangnan. Even I feel inferior to her. If she didn’t like you, why would she have married you?” Tang Ning interjected.
“She liked me before, and she likes me even more now.” Ye Xiong chuckled, his eyes rolling around before he suddenly added, “Your cousin really is excellent, she has two great traits, but as a woman, she inevitably has flaws. As a man, I have a strength that just happens to fill her gap. Together, we’re a perfect match.”
“What two great traits, one flaw, what strength…” Tang Ning listened in confusion and asked, “Brother-in-law, your words sound so profound, why don’t I understand a thing?”
“If you really don’t understand, you’ll naturally get it once you’re married,” Ye Xiong laughed heartily.
Slap!
A hand slammed heavily onto the table as Yang Xinyi roared furiously, “Go to your room and sleep right now.”
The sudden outburst startled both of them. Tang Ning couldn’t comprehend why her cousin had suddenly become so angry.
“I’m going, I’m going right now.” Ye Xiong quickly stood up and scampered off, shouting as he ran, “Wife, I’ll be waiting for you in bed.”
Yang Xinyi nearly choked on those words.
Next, Tang Ning was also sent by Yang Xinyi to sleep upstairs.
Yang Xinyi started cleaning up the mess on the table. Previously, she would have detested these dirty and greasy things, not even willing to touch them, but now, it didn’t bother her at all. Moreover, she felt that it was perfectly normal for a woman to do these tasks.
She would have to do the same once she got married.
As Yang Xinyi was tidying up, she remembered what had just happened and couldn’t help but laugh, a look of happiness spreading across her face.
Upon returning to her room, Yang Xinyi got ready to take a shower, only to discover a man lying on the floor—who else but Ye Xiong?
“What are you doing in my room? Roll over to your own room and sleep,” Yang Xinyi scolded.
“Tang Ning hasn’t left yet. If she finds out we’re sleeping in separate rooms, she’ll surely suspect something,” Ye Xiong responded with staunch logic. “You wouldn’t want her telling your younger aunt or your dad, and you know how devious this girl is, she loves eavesdropping on others.”
Yang Xinyi thought he had a point, telling herself that Tang Ning would leave in a couple of days so she could endure it a little longer.
After clearing up, Yang Xinyi began sweating a bit and thus went to the bathroom to shower.
However, with Ye Xiong in the room, it was inconvenient for her to bathe, so she said, “I’m going to take a shower now. You should leave first and come back in half an hour.”
“Wife, you go ahead, I absolutely won’t peek,” Ye Xiong said.
“Are you leaving or not?” Yang Xinyi’s icy glare returned.
“I’m leaving, alright?” Ye Xiong said with a sullen face, dejectedly walking out and carefully closing the door behind him.
Yang Xinyi entered the bathroom to shower, unaware that the grease was tough to clean off, taking quite a while to do so. After the shower, she found to her dismay that she had forgotten to bring her pajamas in with her.
Fortunately, she had acted quickly and made Ye Xiong leave; otherwise, she would have been at a great disadvantage.
Yang Xinyi congratulated herself on her prudence and opened a small crack in the door, seeing that Ye Xiong wasn’t in the room, she dashed naked towards the door, planning to lock it and then get dressed at her leisure.
Just as she reached halfway, the door suddenly swung open.
Ye Xiong’s mouth fell open wide, almost wide enough to fit an egg.
