However, Su Chen sees Chen Qian just like a younger sister, so there's nothing extra on his mind.
It's purely out of fear that the young lady might catch a cold.
Just at that moment, the lights in the room suddenly snapped on.
"Wif... wife, why are you in Qian's room!" When Su Chen looked up, he immediately felt awful.
Because, to his shock, he saw Lin Xi sitting right next to Chen Qian!
What the hell is happening?
How did Lin Xi end up in Chen Qian's room?
Sneaking into Chen Qian's room in the middle of the night, how is he going to explain this?
"Well, wife, if I say I was worried about Qian catching a cold, that I came over to cover her with the blanket, would you believe me?" Su Chen said with a sorrowful face.
"Believe your sister!" The female CEO's roar almost shattered the glass.
Lin Xi was instantly furious.
"Su, have you no humanity? Qian is your aunt's daughter, still in high school, and you could bring yourself to lay hands on her!"
"Wife, listen to my explanation..." Su Chen pleaded, his forehead slick with sweat.
"Stop explaining, Su; I won't believe anything you say!" Lin Xi said, fuming with rage.
This is indeed hard to explain.
"Sister Lin, don't be mad, it was me who told Su Chen that I have a habit of kicking off the blankets at night..." Chen Qian said quietly at that moment.
"Even if that's the case, that's no excuse to touch her..." Lin Xi ground her teeth.
"Sister Lin, it wasn't me that Su Chen touched, it was you..."
Turns out, Chen Qian wanted to tell Su Chen that Lin Xi was there upon hearing his voice, but Lin Xi covered her mouth, not letting her make a sound.
She just wanted to see what Su Chen was up to.
Unexpectedly, when Su Chen came in, he headed straight for Chen Qian...
"Alright, since you were just concerned about Qian, I'll forgive you," Lin Xi said, though she didn't believe Su Chen but trusted Chen Qian.
Moreover, Su Chen doesn't seem like someone who can't control himself.
After all, he has been restraining himself for so long even with her, a great beauty, which proves his willpower.
"But there must be punishment!" Lin Xi said, changing her tone.
"Well, how about we punish Su Chen by not allowing him to stay in the villa tonight?" Chen Qian suggested softly after some thought.
"No way, wife, don't send me away in this freezing weather, I'll be frozen to death," Su Chen said with a look of pain upon hearing this.
"Hmph, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Banning you from the villa for one night is already Qian showing mercy. Hurry up and get out, or I'll call the police!" Lin Xi threatened fiercely.
Su Chen inwardly scoffed.
Call the police? I'm your husband, would that even work?
But he said out loud: "Alright, alright, please don't call the police, wife, I'm leaving immediately, right away!"
After saying that, he obediently left the villa.
"This Qian girl is pretty smart," Su Chen said to himself as soon as he stepped out, the miserable look on his face disappearing instantly.
He was just not sure how to leave the place.
And Chen Qian helped him out.
Chen Qian naturally understands Su Chen and knows Su Chen would not make a move on her.
The only reason he would come to her room at midnight is one, that Su Chen was climbing over the wall and leaving.
After all, the last time, he had scaled the wall to get in and was nearly caught by the female CEO.
That's why Chen Qian came up with such a method of punishment.
Meanwhile, Chen Shuo's people had already reached the outskirts of Red Building.
Red Building was booming with business today, filled with guests as usual.
Seemingly oblivious to the looming danger.
"Brothers, as long as we win today, from here on out, we'll be the true masters of Jiangdu's underworld, no longer under the thumb of a woman!"
