Lin Shuang hadn’t quite figured out the implication of the message when his sister-in-law’s second message also came through.
"Brother-in-law, you wouldn’t want sister to find out either."
It seemed as if she was typing halfway and got ganked by sister Tong Yao.
Lin Shuang felt disrespected! Why was the threat so half-hearted?!
As a brother-in-law, he decided to be a bit tougher, "Hm? Find out about what?"
Mainly because he felt that his sister-in-law wasn’t clear on what exactly was going on in his room.
After all, she seemed as naive as her sister Tong Yao when she first arrived.
The sister-in-law replied, "Although I don’t know the specifics, you surely have done something to wrong my sister, haven’t you?"
Lin Shuang felt a bit guilty by his sister-in-law’s accusation... although Ayao pretty much allowed him, her master, to do anything.
But after all... he did wrong Ayao, who was wholeheartedly devoted to him.
There’s no helping it, there are just too many bad women out there coveting him!
Lin Shuang chose to surrender, "...Do you want to exchange it for ice cream again this time?"
But hadn’t he already promised he would finish all the ice cream?
The sister-in-law suddenly changed the subject, "Brother-in-law, the new house you moved to is pretty big, isn’t it?"
"Yes, it’s got three floors and ten rooms."
"It’s too big, brother-in-law."
Lin Shuang looked at the message, fearfully reclined back on the sofa.
What kind of loaded statement was that! Be clear about what’s big!
You can’t wash that kind of insinuation off even by jumping into the Yellow River.
Wouldn’t the little maid seize a kitchen knife and stir-fry him on the spot if she saw this?
The sister-in-law continued to send messages, "Sister can’t handle it all alone, I want to help her share some of the burden."
In fact, by this point, Lin Shuang no longer saw Ayao as a little maid.
She was his little girlfriend, his family.
Lin Shuang had thought about it, the new house was indeed too big, and Ayao couldn’t take care of it all by herself, so it was best to hire a cleaner to tidy up every other day.
He definitely wouldn’t let Ayao get tired~
"It’s fine, Little Dove, we can just hire a cleaning service later."
"Just the two of us, sister and me, is enough, brother-in-law."
Sister-in-law Tong Ge sent several messages in a row, "Sister told me all about the things between her and brother-in-law."
About the story of how her sister lost hope in life and was rescued by brother-in-law...
"I want to do some things to help sister, and express gratitude for brother-in-law looking after sister."
"So, in exchange for not letting sister know about that thing, let me become one of brother-in-law’s maids as well."
Lin Shuang looked at these messages and fell into deep thought.
Yay, so will the sister-in-law also call me ’master’?
Maid sisters? One wearing Rem’s costume and the other wearing Lum’s?
He already had Rem’s dress at home, Lin Shuang wanted to order a Lum’s outfit on the spot!
Hmm, Little Ling Meng probably has one, should ask her for a set...
But they are different sizes; probably won’t fit, the buttons would likely pop off.
Why did he tease Ling Meng’s airport again!
Little Ling Meng sneezed in the milk tea shop: is Master Lin missing me?
Forget it, better to calm down first.
"It’s fine, we are all family now, no need to talk about this."
When the little maid first moved in, she would keep accounts with him, thinking about earning a salary to pay him back.
Later on, when the accounts couldn’t be tallied, she ended up giving herself to him entirely~
Now, this maid-master thing... had become a little lovers’ play between the two of them.
So if the sister-in-law suddenly joined this play... it would be kind of weird!
The sister-in-law has already got everything sorted out clearly, "It’s great that you agree, brother-in-law. I’ll talk to my sister about it, so that’s that."
The conversation ended just like that, looks sister-in-law had planned it all along.
Lin Shuang stared at the chat box in a daze for a while, unable to fathom his sister-in-law’s thoughts.
He logged off, and just then Little Ling Meng sent him a message.
"Master, I just sneezed, were you thinking of me~"
Although he was just thinking about a flat chest...
Just admit whether you missed her or not!
Lin Shuang laughed and took a careful look at the photo she had sent earlier, which he hadn’t dared to scrutinize closely when he was with Xiao Han.
It’s indeed worthy of criticism.
He sent a message, "You look very pretty, Little Ling Meng."
"So does Master have time today to come see his beautiful and obedient disciple? Your poor disciple has been guarding the master’s gate alone for days!"
The tone sounds like she’s guarding an empty boudoir...
All that effort has gone in vain, casting a tender glow over the slow-flowing river~
Lin Shuang felt somewhat apologetic, "Your master is a bit busy today..."
He couldn’t possibly sneak out to see Little Ling Meng right now, could he?
It would make him incredibly busy! Yubing and the secretary last night, Xiao Han and Wanwan this morning, the little maid and sister-in-law in the afternoon.
Now add Little Ling Meng to the schedule, and it’s packed full!
Could he get some rest~
Thinking of this, Lin Shuang sent another message to Ling Meng, "Wait for your master, my good disciple."
Since everyone has been arranged for, he definitely needs to make time for Little Ling Meng too.
Can’t play favorites, have to spread the love fairly~
Lin Shuang decided to bravely enter the cave guarded by two witches for Little Ling Meng’s sake!
Master Lin is truly breaking his heart for his disciple.
He arrived at his bedroom door—now no longer his, as it had been taken over by two witches! It became the terrifying Witch Cave.
Just like Fairy Zixia took over the Water Curtain Cave and turned it into the Silk Cave.
—But Lin Shuang’s Silk Cave houses two Fairy Zixias.
No, double the terror!
These two have never been tender with their beatings, from childhood to adulthood.
Wishing they’d stamp him like Fairy Zixia did too.
Lin Shuang smiled and gently knocked on the bedroom door.
"Xiao Han? Wanwan? I’m coming in, okay?"
He waited but got no response, so Lin Shuang quietly pressed the door to the "Silk Cave" ajar and peeked inside to survey the situation.
At first glance, the two sisters were snuggled up sleeping soundly.
Seemed like there was a hint of citrus sweetness... Yeah, right!
Both beauties were in disarray, as if tired from fighting and then falling asleep together.
Just like when they were kids.
Even the reason for fighting was the same as when they were kids: fighting over Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang watched the two girls who grew up with him for a while, feeling very warm in his heart.
He leaned over gently and kissed each of them on the cheek.
Wanwan, as if sleepwalking, disgustedly pushed his face away, "...Xiao Han, you can’t beat Mommy..."
Yan Han mumbled in her sleep, "I already have Brother Shuang’s baby..."
Lin Shuang was both amused and incredulous: When did that happen! He himself had no idea!
He poked Xiao Han’s belly, then tiptoed out quietly.
