Because of this, Zhao Mengjin, holding a pillow, suddenly headed to the guest room of her young uncle and his wife. Normally, this young lady should have been staying in the guest room next to Mrs. Zhao, so that her own family elders could take care of her if needed.
Xiao Yebai opened the door to the room and saw his niece’s pitiful face looking up at him. For a moment, he couldn’t bring himself to turn her away. However, this was supposed to be the room where he and his wife could be intimate. How could they let a third wheel in?
"Are you looking for me, or your aunt?" Yebai asked.
Zhao Mengjin said softly, "I want someone to accompany me to sleep. You said it’s not convenient, didn’t you?"
So she was looking for his wife!
Xiao Yebai felt like he was going insane. Why did everyone like to cling to his wife so much?
Sticking to Nuannuan was Yebai’s exclusive right, didn’t they know?
Gu Nuan was straightening the bed inside the room, seemingly aware of what was happening at the doorway. But, this matter could only be decided by her husband since it involved his relatives.
Besides, the young one gets jealous over everything, and she didn’t want to deal with future troubles. It was best to let the youngster make her own decisions without regrets.
Seeing that his wife did not speak up, it was clear that he was left to handle this hot potato alone.
Xiao Yebai could only pout and temporarily stepped aside, giving up his spot to his niece. He said, "Only this afternoon. From tonight onwards, you’ll sleep by yourself."
"Thank you, young uncle!" Zhao Mengjin gave Yebai a sweet smile.
Xiao Yebai ruffled her bird’s nest-like hair: "Don’t just smile at men, okay? You’re grown up now, too enticing. Also, your hair is a mess, take care of it yourself after waking up. Don’t let your aunt comb it, Got it?"
Yebai even had to manage whom his wife combed hair for, otherwise, he would get jealous.
Gu Nuan was speechless in an instant.
Zhao Mengjin obediently nodded her head directly, not daring to compete with her young uncle’s preferences, no matter how many guts she had.
Xiao Yebai left the guest room.
Zhao Mengjin went over to Gu Nuan, calling out softly, "Auntie—" as if afraid Gu Nuan wouldn’t hear her, then brought her face closer to Gu Nuan’s.
Looking so pitiful, like a little abandoned puppy, no wonder her husband, who easily got jealous, had softened his heart.
Gu Nuan let out a sigh and said, "The bed is big enough, let’s sleep together."
Upon hearing her words, Zhao Mengjin quickly lay on the bed and pulled the quilt over herself.
She was practically a dog that had taken over the master’s bed and refused to leave.
In this respect, she and Yebai were almost cut from the same cloth.
Gu Nuan looked on and slapped her forehead.
With his wife’s side of the bed taken, Xiao Yebai went to his friend to mooch a bed.
Zhang Sanfeng’s guest room had two beds, initially to be shared with Tang Sili. With Xiao Yebai coming over, one of them had to share a room with Zhan Dapeng.
Tang Sili seemed to think without a second thought, standing up and being the first to volunteer: "It doesn’t matter where I sleep, I’ll go to Director Zhan’s." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
It was clear to everyone that Tang Sili was very afraid of his boss.
Xiao Yebai waved his hand, signaling him to sit down.
Tang Sili cautiously sat down.
"She wanted you to come along with her, what were you thinking?" Xiao Yebai asked.
This was precisely the problem that Zhang Sanfeng and Zhan Dapeng were considering. Xiao Yebai’s question was apt, given that he was Zhao Mengjin’s young uncle.
Tang Sili seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth lifting in a wry smile: "Mr. Xiao, you know my style of handling things, don’t you? I’ve seen many girls like her. At this age, they are in a phase of fantasy and rebellion. As a doctor, I understand things that others don’t."
