"What??? Xuexue's mom was taken away by her divorced live-in son-in-law?"
Gu Lingfei was utterly dumbfounded.
"Wait, let me process this!"
Gu Lingfei rubbed her temple with one hand, just hearing this news alone felt absolutely mind-blowing!
As Ji Ningxue's best friend, she was well aware of her marital situation. She also knew that Ji Ningxue's mother constantly gave Xiao Chen, the live-in son-in-law, a hard time every day.
But damn... in the end, Xiao Chen gave up on Xuexue and went after the wicked mother-in-law instead? This plot is just downright absurd!
"No way... If that's really the case... then if you marry Ji Ningxue in the future, wouldn’t you have to call Xiao Chen 'father-in-law'?"
Jiang Che scoffed. "Call him father-in-law? Not a chance. Even Yaoyao’s dad is just 'bro' to me. If I don’t call him 'old man,' it’s already me being nice. What right does Xiao Chen have?"
Not stuffing Xiao Chen into Brother Qiang’s harem was already an act of mercy!
"Alright, Sister Lingfei, stop gossiping about this. You must be tired after a long day at work, right? Let me give you a foot massage~~~"
Jiang Che pulled one of Gu Lingfei’s slender legs onto his lap and started kneading it.
Gu Lingfei shot him a helpless glance. This little troublemaker’s energy was truly boundless—where did he even get so much stamina?
......
At the Xiao Family residence.
Ever since returning from the concert, Xiao Sisi had been distracted.
For instance, even though it was already late at night, she still couldn’t fall asleep.
Her mind was completely filled with thoughts of that handsome blond guy.
"What’s... wrong with me?" Xiao Sisi frowned, her beautiful eyes troubled. She kept replaying the intimate moment from earlier in her mind.
Even now, just recalling it made her heart race.
Though it was embarrassing to admit, she had genuinely never seen such a good-looking guy before.
Tossing and turning in bed, Xiao Sisi couldn’t calm down.
"No way... Do I actually have feelings for that blond who kissed me out of nowhere?"
After a moment, she shook her head violently. "Impossible!"
After some hesitation, she finally took out the business card Jiang Che had left her.
With a nervous heart, she sent him a text:
"Can we talk?"
"About being your girlfriend... I’ll think about it first."
After sending it, she stared at her phone screen, blinking her big, pretty eyes.
One minute passed—no reply.
Five minutes later—still nothing.
At this point, Xiao Sisi was no different from those desperate guys waiting by their phones for a reply from their crush.
Fifteen minutes later, a sudden notification snapped her out of her daze.
[Ding! Your battery is below 10%. Please connect the charger...]
Xiao Sisi: "......"
She thought it was a message from the blond guy.
"Hmph, what a jerk! He says he wants to pursue me and be my boyfriend, but he can’t even reply to my text? My first kiss was wasted on him!"
Xiao Sisi clenched the corner of her blanket in frustration. That had been her first kiss with a boy!
And even though that blond claimed it was his first kiss too, his technique was way too smooth—no way that was his first time!
After coming home, the more she thought about it, the more she realized she’d probably been tricked.
But... strangely, she didn’t hate the feeling of being deceived. Instead, there was a faint sense of anticipation.
It was like those pretty girls who go to bars alone—they know it’s a sketchy place, that getting drunk could lead to being taken advantage of, or worse, waking up with an incurable disease.
Yet the thrill of it all still gets them hooked.
"Sis, who are you texting?"
Xiao Wanwan, fresh out of the shower, bounced over to Xiao Sisi’s side. The younger sister wore nothing but a thin pink nightgown—completely see-through—with bare feet and damp hair dripping onto her porcelain skin.
She was the very picture of a freshly bloomed lotus.
"N-no one! Just... Xiao Chuan," Xiao Sisi lied, hastily putting her phone down.
"Xiao Chuan?" Xiao Wanwan narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing her sister.
"Liar!!! Sis, have you forgotten we have a psychic connection? You can’t fool me! You’re totally lying!"
Xiao Wanwan lunged at her sister, snatching the phone from her hands.
"Hey! Don’t grab my phone!" Xiao Sisi protested, both embarrassed and annoyed.
In the scuffle, the strap of Xiao Wanwan’s nightgown slipped, revealing a glimpse of her delicate frame.
But when Xiao Wanwan saw the messages on the phone, her entire world shattered.
Jiang Che’s contact name was simple—just three characters: "Darling!"
Since Xiao Wanwan hadn’t saved his number, the chat screen displayed his ID as... "Darling."
In an instant, Xiao Wanwan’s scalp went numb.
An indescribable rage surged through her!!!
"Sis!!! Who the hell is this man???"
Her tone was practically accusatory.
For Xiao Wanwan, the ultimate sis-con, her sister was her most sacred treasure. Xiao Sisi was supposed to be flawless—her beloved elder sister, untouchable by any filthy man or worthless trash!!!
No!!!
"Wanwan, it’s not what you think! He’s not my 'darling'!"
"No! I don’t believe you! Sis, you can’t lie to me! That’s not what you’re really thinking! You’re lying again!"
The more she tried to explain, the worse it got.
Even the truth was getting painted black.
Xiao Sisi had no choice but to put her phone aside and discipline her sister.
If she didn’t teach Wanwan a lesson now, the girl would grow completely out of control.
...
"Hah, Xiao Sisi’s really impatient, huh?"
Late at night, Jiang Che tossed his phone aside. He’d been in the middle of an intense battle earlier and hadn’t had time to reply.
Of course, even if he’d had the time, he probably wouldn’t have responded immediately.
He knew women too well—the more attention you give them, the more they take it for granted.
Guys who sit by their phones waiting for their crush to reply rarely win her heart.
It’s like taming a hawk—the less you acknowledge it, the more it might come to you, asking why you’re ignoring it.
Of course, there’s also the risk she’ll just lose interest and cut ties.
But that wasn’t a problem for Jiang Che. A skilled hunter never puts all his eggs in one basket.
Do you even understand the weight of being a playboy?
With a smirk, he sent Xiao Sisi a single "." and tossed his phone aside again.
"Bai Jie!!! When did you sneak under the covers again???"
Jiang Che was at his wit’s end. He truly had no idea how to deal with this obsessive little girl.
Fortunately, Jiang Che took her in just in time—otherwise, who knows if this little girl might have turned into some kind of yandere.
Bai Jie, who was sneakily munching on a peach, got caught red-handed by Jiang Che.
