The sky gradually brightened, and I hadn't returned home all night.
After pacifying Beauty Su, Lin Hai hurried back to the villa.
Climbing over the wall to enter the villa, Lin Hai gave a wry smile; he lived here but had no keys. If the community security found out, they would probably call the police right away and arrest him as a thief.
What kind of life is this, Lin Hai sighed deeply.
At this moment, the villa was eerily silent, seeming devoid of people.
Lin Hai glanced at the courtyard; the Maybach wasn't there, indicating President Ouyang had gone to work early, which made him feel relieved.
However, Ouyang Ruoshuang seemed to still be at home. Some curtains on the second floor were pulled, probably sleeping a beauty sleep. It's better not to wake her up; otherwise, she'd chatter non-stop for half a day.
Dragging his tired body, Lin Hai tiptoed closer to the villa and headed towards his room on the second floor.
A cold voice came from behind Lin Hai. He paused mid-step and turned his head with difficulty, only to see Ouyang Xiaoya's icy face staring angrily at him.
Forcing a smile, Lin Hai guiltily said, "Hehe, wife, you're up early."
"Tell me, what did you do last night?" Ouyang Xiaoya wasn't moved by Lin Hai's smile and asked indifferently.
"Wha—? Wife, I was sleeping in the room last night; I didn't do anything!" Lin Hai flatly denied, refusing to admit last night's events at all costs, for sh*t's sake, if Mrs. Ouyang found out, wouldn't that be like opening a huge can of worms.
"Really?" Ouyang Xiaoya's face read 'I don't believe you.'
Lin Hai chuckled nervously, constantly wringing his hands, he explained, "I just had a few drinks with the guys last night and got back late, didn't dare to disturb you, hehehehe."
Ouyang Xiaoya's face twitched, clearly extremely angry.
Lin Hai's forced smile came to a halt.
"I worked overtime until 3 a.m. yesterday, came back for a bath, and haven't slept all night since. You're telling me you were in your room yesterday?" Ouyang Xiaoya said with fiery eyes.
"Damn, busted." Lin Hai never even dreamed that Ouyang Xiaoya would have stayed up all night.
"Where did you get those clothes?" Ouyang Xiaoya pointed at the new clothes on Lin Hai. His security uniform had been ripped to pieces during his frenzy.
"Bought, bought them," Lin Hai said dryly.
"Who bought them for you? What's with the long hair on your shoulder? And what's with the scent of perfume on you?" Ouyang Xiaoya grilled him with several questions in one breath.
Her face was pulled down long, hands on her hips, her entire body exuded killing intent staring at Lin Hai.
"Eh, wife, don't be mad, the story... no, the way it happened was ..." Lin Hai quickly racked his brains for a story, embellishing what had happened last night.
Of course, he intentionally concealed the female lead of the story, saying he went to a bar with his buddies, encountered some thugs, and due to a man's dignity, knocked down several hundred people in a fit of anger, ending up being taken to the police station by a beautiful policewoman for questioning.
The hair naturally belonged to the policewoman, left behind unintentionally.
And because his security uniform got torn to shreds in the fight, he had to pick up a knockoff designer piece from the street stall. Not wanting to worry her, he sneaked back and only then told a little white lie in plausible defense.
"Really?" Ouyang Xiaoya paced back and forth, scrutinizing him.
Lin Hai nodded frantically like a pecking chicken, saying, "Really, cross my heart and hope to die."
"I don't believe it." Ouyang Xiaoya curled her lip in disdain.
Lin Hai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that the lie he made was impeccable. Why on earth wouldn't his dear wife believe him? Was there really a flaw in it?
"Just you, facing off against hundreds of people? And those thugs armed with weapons? They're utterly vicious and you, a mere security guard, dared to face them alone? Don't bullsh*t me!" Ouyang Xiaoya sneered.
"Oh, so you're questioning my taking on a hundred people alone? I'm relieved then." Lin Hai let out a sigh of relief, tweaking the numbers slightly in his previous lie to save face.
Hearing Ouyang Xiaoya's skepticism, Lin Hai puffed out his chest and proclaimed with his head held high, "Just a few hundred small fry. Back in the day, I fought entire troops on my own, dominating battlefields, looking down upon everything, winning the admiration of numerous experts and the cries of countless girls begging me to sweep them off their feet..."
"Keep boasting, and you're fired immediately."
The light words of President Ouyang deflated Lin Hai completely, he drooped his head in a crestfallen demeanor.
"Don't give me that look, acting all sullen like a little girl. How did I end up being your fiancée?" President Ouyang gritted her teeth in frustrated disappointment.
Lin Hai cheekily approached with a smile, subtly inhaling the fragrant scent of the beautiful CEO, and said, "Wife, in fact, I'm a perfect gentleman, and you'll gradually come to realize that."
As he said this, his hand mischievously started to wander.
"Ah!" Ouyang Xiaoya let out a scream, and before Lin Hai realized what he was doing, his hand that was initially going for an inappropriate touch had accidentally slid up the inside of Miss Ouyang's thigh along her stockings.
Lin Hai instantly recoiled his hand as if shocked by electricity, stunned and certain it wasn't deliberate.
"Scoundrel, beast, garbage, jerk, you're dead meat!" Ouyang Xiaoya's face turned a furious blush as she scolded and struck out with her hand.
"Sh*t." Lin Hai quickly raised his hand to block and, in one swooping bear hug, took Miss Ouyang into his embrace, hurriedly explaining, "Wife, I didn't mean it, honestly, I did it on purpose... Damn, that came out wrong!"
Lin Hai immediately wore a pained expression, knowing he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Innocent or not, he was now labeled a rogue.
"You! Jerk, let go of me!" Ouyang Xiaoya's pretty face flushed red, like a volcano on the verge of erupting, just an inch away from explosion.
"Wife, listen to me explain, it wasn't on purpose, I mean... spit, it wasn't deliberate, it was genuine, uh..." Lin Hai's face fell, realizing his explanation dug himself deeper into a hole.
Just then, suddenly, a gasp came from the staircase, "Oh my, brother-in-law, what are you doing? This is so embarrassing!"
Lin Hai and Ouyang Xiaoya in his arms both turned to look at the second floor's railing, seeing Ouyang Xiao with her face blushing and her tender hand covering it, peeking through a gap between her fingers at them.
The two silently exchanged glances and quickly let go of each other, stepping back to maintain a distance.
But Lin Hai's eyes carried embarrassment, while Ouyang Xiaoya, with a red face, glared furiously at him.
"That, uh, girl, if I say we didn't do anything, would you believe me?" Lin Hai weakly asked Ouyang Xiao, standing on the second floor, who clearly didn't believe him as she shook her head, then thought about it and nodded.
