At this moment, Sister Lan's face was completely flushed, spreading right to her earlobes; it was clear that she heard Shu Ya's loud scream just now.
"Sister Lan, is there anything the matter at this late hour?" Hao Jian asked, pretending to be unaware.
"Did you just peep on me while I was bathing?" Sister Lan asked sternly.
"How could that be? Do I look like that kind of person?" Hao Jian put on an aggrieved expression, attempting to bluster his way through.
"You don't seem like that kind of person," Sister Lan shook her head.
"Hehe… Sister Lan is so wise!" Hao Jian was secretly delighted, not expecting Sister Lan to be so easily deceived.
"You are exactly that kind of person!" But Sister Lan's next sentence was just like that.
Sister Lan said nothing but pushed the door open and walked in, then she saw Shu Ya sitting on the sofa, playing with her fingers, completely indifferent.
"Shu Ya, was it you who screamed just now?" Sister Lan asked.
Hao Jian shook his head vigorously behind Sister Lan.
"Yeah." Shu Ya responded as if she hadn't seen.
Hao Jian instantly covered his forehead, sighed inwardly, and felt an urge to strangle Shu Ya.
"Where did he peep at me from?" Sister Lan asked, her face ugly.
Shu Ya remained silent, but pointed at a wall in the bathroom.
Sister Lan immediately entered the bathroom and then saw a small hole in the wall, which perfectly allowed a view of the opposing bathroom. Not only was the hole concealed, but the angle of the view was exceptionally good.
Sister Lan's face reddened even more in the bathroom, turned around furiously, and glared at Hao Jian, "How many times is this now?"
Just thinking that she had been watched by Hao Jian every time she bathed, Sister Lan was indescribably ashamed and angry.
If it weren't for the fact that he had saved her before, she would have considered calling the police.
"Just once, really, today was the first time," Hao Jian quickly defended himself, obviously lying.
"Nothing but nonsense." Shu Ya played with her fingers, casually dropping this remark.
Hao Jian gritted his teeth, his face turning completely dark.
"Aren't you going to be honest? Do I need to call the police?" Sister Lan stated angrily.
Upon hearing this, Shu Ya too was startled; she just wanted to play a prank on Hao Jian, not get him jailed.
If Hao Jian were to end up in jail, then her entire plan would be ruined.
"No, no, no, let me count." Hao Jian had no choice but to admit defeat and began counting on his fingers.
"One, two, three, four." Hao Jian counted seriously, and then stopped at four.
Sister Lan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that it was lucky it was only four times and not too bad.
But Hao Jian's next sentence was, "Should be around forty times, I guess."
Sister Lan and Shu Ya were petrified, Shu Ya especially at a loss for words, realizing that the guy was a habitual offender.
"It seems I had better call the police." Sister Lan was furious inside, considering that Hao Jian had only been living there for just over twenty days, and she bathed twice a day—morning and evening. This meant that this guy was watching her almost every day, without fail!
Curse a thousand curses!
"Sister Lan! Dear sister! I realize my mistake now, please spare me! I'll never dare to do it again after this!"
Hao Jian suddenly shouted out, "Sister Lan, look at me, I'm not even thirty yet, still have my best years ahead of me. I have an eighty-year-old mother above, and a crying son below."
Sister Lan was amused by Hao Jian's ridiculousness, having never really intended to call the police. She knew what kind of person Hao Jian was—though slightly lecherous, he was the type who had the desire but not the guts. The scare was only to teach him a lesson, to stop him from perpetually engaging in nonsensical acts.
"Laughing? If there's laughter, there's hope!" Hao Jian thought to himself and started chuckling along.
"What are you laughing at?" Sister Lan snapped.
Then Hao Jian dared not laugh anymore.
Shu Ya was dumbfounded and thought to herself, could it really only be Sister Lan who could tame this bastard?
"I'm not saying this to scold you, but you already have a girlfriend. How can you still be so fickle? And your girlfriend is so beautiful, doing this kind of thing in front of her, aren't you taking her too lightly?" Sister Lan completely adopted the tone of an elder.
"She went behind my back with someone for a 5P, I don't want her anymore; Sister Lan is better, a virtuous wife and good mother," Hao Jian said with a glance at Shu Ya, then he grinned apologetically at Sister Lan.
"You bastard, you were the one who had a 5P! I'm going to kill you!" Shu Ya freaked out, lunged forward with claws bared. This guy just wouldn't stop, even brought that up as a topic.
And just like that, Hao Jian was forced to start his cohabitation journey.
The next morning, Shu Ya got up to brush her teeth and wash up, but as soon as she opened the door, she heard a singing voice.
"Brusha, Brusha, Eh Eh! Brusha, Brusha, Oh Oh."
Shu Ya rubbed her sleepy eyes, only to see a guy enjoying a "bubble bath" in the bathtub, playing with a rubber duck in his hands.
Seeing Shu Ya come in, Hao Jian was also stunned.
The next instant, their eyes locked, both petrified.
"Ahhh... you're peeking at me, oh my god... I can't live ..."
The scream tearing through her eardrums was Shu Ya's.
Shu Ya quickly retreated, slammed the door shut, and only after doing all this did she feel as if she had just woken from a dream.
Her mind was a bit messy now. According to the usual routine, wasn't it her turn to scream first?
"You shameless thing!"
From inside came the cursing voice of Hao Jian, seemingly very aggrieved.
Shu Ya was also angry: "A grown man, do you really have to be ?"
"Grown man? What's wrong with being a grown man? Although I am a man, can't I have the heart of a young girl?" Hao Jian said despondently.
For some reason, Shu Ya found herself at a loss for words.
After hesitating for a moment, Shu Ya decided to go down and brush her teeth, not wanting to bunch up with this scoundrel.
After brushing her teeth and having breakfast, Hao Jian drove Shu Ya to her office. Of course, there was no breakfast for Hao Jian.
Sister Lan's response was, "People who do bad things don't deserve breakfast."
Hao Jian sat in the Mercedes-Benz, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his demeanor somewhat profound as he puffed smoke.
Before long, he saw Shu Ya in professional attire coming downstairs.
At this moment, Shu Ya, wearing a white striped shirt with a blue blazer over it, and light grey trousers, looked smart and capable, yet still appealing - a true power woman, which easily ignited one's desire to conquer.
"Sister looks so beautiful!" Tongtong pointed at Shu Ya and said to Sister Lan.
Sister Lan smiled faintly, thinking to herself she hadn't guessed wrong, Shu Ya was no ordinary person, but why such a girl would fall for a scoundrel like Hao Jian? It was completely baffling.
"Tongtong, be good, sis will bring you something tasty when I come back," Shu Ya said as she pinched Tongtong's cheek:
"By the way, what do you want to eat?"
Shu Ya really liked Tongtong, this little girl was charmingly cute and mischievous!
Tongtong thought for a moment, then said with a smile:
"Sister Shu Ya, I want to drink Xu's old yogurt!"
"Okay! Sister will buy it for you after work!" Shu Ya pinched Tongtong's little cheek again and said with a laugh.
Just then, Hao Jian coughed dryly, his face full of a cheeky grin:
"Sister Shu Ya, I want to drink milk too!"
