Chapter 126

Chapter 126

“What?”

Xiao Wanling was stunned.

She stared at Su Wanqiu in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard.

Su Wanqiu wasn’t angry about her being with Uncle Xu. Instead, she encouraged it.

She even told her not to worry about her feelings when she was with Uncle Xu.

In other words, she was telling them to be more open about their relationship.

Xiao Wanling was dumbfounded.

Su Wanqiu smiled.

“You’ve been with Xu Hao. You know how powerful he is, right?”

Xiao Wanling hesitated before nodding.

More than just powerful—he was unbelievably strong.

“To be honest, being with him every day has started to scare me…”

Recalling her experiences in the past few days, Su Wanqiu shuddered.

She could barely handle it. How could she last till morning?

Xiao Wanling’s heart trembled.

Now she understood why Su Wanqiu wasn’t against her being with Uncle Xu.

It turned out that Su Wanqiu had already been conquered by him.

Su Wanqiu continued,

“You should’ve figured it out by now—I couldn’t handle him before, and now that I’m pregnant, I need someone to help.”

“I’m expecting a baby, so… Wanling, do you get it now?”

If Xiao Wanling didn’t understand by now, she’d be a fool.

Su Wanqiu had never been able to match Uncle Xu before.

Now that she was pregnant, and with Uncle Xu being so strong, how could she just leave things as they were?

And then she happened to find out about her and Uncle Xu…

So she wanted to bring her into this “battle.”

Xiao Wanling felt conflicted, but she nodded.

She could hear the sincerity in Su Wanqiu’s voice.

She felt both surprised and excited.

Now that she could be with Uncle Xu, she no longer had to fear Su Wanqiu catching them or feel guilty about it.

Of course… that didn’t mean they could act recklessly.

After all, the other girls were still in the house.

Especially her best friend, Xu Hongzhuang.

They couldn’t let her find out.

Su Wanqiu was pleased.

Xu Hao was too powerful. Xiao Wanling alone wouldn’t be enough.

There was also her good friend, Yao Xinrui.

But she didn’t mention Yao Xinrui just yet, worried that she’d scare her away.

When the time was right, she’d introduce them and let them get to know each other.

Maybe they could play cards or mahjong together in the future.

A thought suddenly crossed Su Wanqiu’s mind.

She wasn’t very familiar with her daughter’s best friend.

And since Xu Hao was home today, she needed to restrain herself.

Why not use this chance to bond with Xiao Wanling?

“Wanling, earlier you said you had to leave—was that because you realized I had caught you sneaking out?”

Su Wanqiu asked with a teasing smile.

Xiao Wanling’s face turned red in an instant.

That was exactly the case.

“In that case, it’s already late. Why don’t you stay the night?”

Su Wanqiu glanced at the darkening sky and suggested,

“You’re a young woman—going home alone at night isn’t safe. Just stay here. The villa has plenty of rooms.”

“This… I don’t want to impose…”

Xiao Wanling’s heart pounded.

If she went home, she’d be alone anyway.

Wouldn’t it be better to stay at the Xu household, where it was lively and where she could see Uncle Xu?

Before, she always went home every night.

Mostly because she was afraid of facing Su Wanqiu and being found out.

But now that Su Wanqiu had given them the green light, she had nothing to worry about.

Xiao Wanling hesitated.

Su Wanqiu smirked and added,

“If you stay the night, after Hongzhuang and the others fall asleep, you can come to our room…”

“What?!”

Xiao Wanling’s eyes widened, her mouth forming an “O.”

Her heart skipped a beat.

She looked at Su Wanqiu differently now.

She never expected her best friend’s gorgeous stepmother to be this… bold.

In the end—

Unable to refuse Su Wanqiu’s invitation, Xiao Wanling shyly agreed to stay.

When she returned to the living room and announced that she wasn’t going home that night, the other girls were a little surprised but didn’t ask too many questions.

They all welcomed her warmly.

After all, having more people around made the house feel livelier.

If only the other three sisters were home too, it would be even better.

Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi felt frustrated.

No matter what tricks they used, their eldest, second, and fourth sisters refused to take the bait.

The betrayal of their four sisters made them wary.

They started to believe that Xu Hao was dangerous.

They were even hesitant to return home to see their sisters.

That was only part of the reason.

The other reason was that they were too busy with their own work.

They were at critical points in their careers and couldn’t leave.

Xiao Wanling’s watery eyes discreetly glanced at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao looked confused.

Su Wanqiu raised an eyebrow at him, giving him a knowing look.

Xu Hao understood immediately.

He couldn’t help but sigh—this woman had truly been conquered by him.

“Wanling, didn’t you have something urgent to take care of at home?”

Xu Hongzhuang approached her best friend and asked curiously.

Xiao Wanling snapped out of her thoughts and pretended to be upset.

“What? Hongzhuang, are you saying you don’t want me to stay at your house?”

“Of course not.”

Xu Hongzhuang rolled her eyes.

“Honestly, I’ve been meaning to tell you—going home alone at night isn’t safe. And you’d just be alone there anyway…”

Xiao Wanling thought to herself,

If you had invited me before, I wouldn’t have dared to stay.

It’s only because your mom invited me that I agreed.

Thinking about why Su Wanqiu had insisted she stay the night, Xiao Wanling suddenly looked at her best friend with a strange expression.

“What’s with that look?”

Xiao Wanling steadied herself and played it cool.

“Nothing. It’s really not a big deal—just a rental issue. I had someone take care of it.”

“Then that’s fine…”

Xu Hongzhuang was genuinely concerned about her best friend.

If only she knew what was actually going through Xiao Wanling’s mind…

She would have ripped her apart.

I treat you as my best friend, I care about you…

And you’re thinking about my dad?

Oblivious to this, Xu Hongzhuang excitedly suggested,

“Wanling, let’s sleep together tonight! I have so much to tell you.”

Xiao Wanling hesitated.

“This… isn’t a good idea, is it?”

Xu Hongzhuang looked at her like she was crazy.

Did she hear that right?

Back when they rented an apartment together in school, Xiao Wanling was the one who insisted on sharing a bed, saying they could chat and strengthen their friendship.

All through college, they spent many nights talking about life, love, and secrets.

But now?

She was saying it was inappropriate?

Of course, it was inappropriate.

Xiao Wanling thought to herself,

I still have to knock on your parents’ door later…

If I sleep with you, how would that even work?

Realizing her reaction might seem odd, Xiao Wanling quickly covered it up with a laugh.

“I was just worried that now that you’re older, you might have some secrets. What if I overhear you sleep-talking… heh heh…”

Though she directed her words at Xu Hongzhuang, she was actually nervous about revealing her own secret.

What if she talked in her sleep and suddenly blurted out—

“Uncle, you’re so bad…”

Or something even more scandalous?

Wouldn’t her best friend chase her down with a knife?

“I don’t have any secrets…”

Xu Hongzhuang replied, but then she paused and gave Xiao Wanling a suspicious look.

“Wait a minute… could it be that you have some secret you don’t want me to find out?”

Xiao Wanling’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

How did her best friend guess so accurately?!

She forced a calm smile.

“Of course not! Fine, fine, let’s sleep together.”

[Ding… Su Wanqiu feels curious. Emotion value +741…]

 [Ding… Xiao Wanling blushes. Emotion value +852…]

While tension simmered in the Xu household, things weren’t peaceful at Xia Qingge and Li Yunshu’s apartment either.

Xia Qingge, having heard that her best friend had taken leave, called a few times out of concern.

After work, she rushed home to check on the situation.

By the time she arrived, Li Yunshu had already finished cooking and was waiting for her.

Xia Qingge pressed her for details.

Li Yunshu, feeling guilty, brushed it off, saying it was just a mild cold and that she was already fine.

But Xia Qingge wasn’t convinced.

Was it really just a cold?

A small illness that kept her from going to work?

She didn’t buy it.

Then, after dinner—

She noticed something.

As Li Yunshu cleared the dishes, she walked with an awkward posture, occasionally furrowing her brows.

A lightbulb went off in Xia Qingge’s mind.

As someone with experience, she immediately understood what was going on.

She found it both amusing and infuriating.

She was upset that Li Yunshu had kept it from her, making her worry all day.

Her eyes gleamed with mischief.

She suddenly had an idea.

She was going to get a little payback for all that unnecessary concern.

Xia Qingge helped clean up after dinner and then sat on the couch to watch TV.

Casually, she asked, “Yunshu, where were you last night? You didn’t come home.”

Li Yunshu tensed up.

“N-no… I didn’t go anywhere. Didn’t I tell you? I stayed home and rested all night.”

“Really?”

Xia Qingge looked doubtful.

“But… when I went to your place to find you, your parents said you weren’t home.”

Li Yunshu panicked.

Her mind went blank, completely forgetting that Xia Qingge didn’t even know where her house was.

She scrambled to come up with an excuse, but before she could, Xia Qingge suddenly leaned in and asked teasingly,

“Yunshu… you didn’t go do something bad last night, did you? Like… meeting up with some man?”

Li Yunshu’s face turned pale.

“N-no way! You’re overthinking it.”

“Yunshu, you look guilty. That makes me even more suspicious.”

“There’s really nothing! You know me—I’ve never even been close to any guy.”

Li Yunshu shook her head frantically, trying to defend herself.

“Oh? Is that so?”

Xia Qingge smirked playfully.

“But there is one man. Not only have you been close to him, but you’re very close…”

“Who?”

Li Yunshu looked completely confused.

Xia Qingge blurted out—

“Uncle Xu.”

Buzz…

Li Yunshu’s mind went blank, ringing like an alarm.

She bit her tongue lightly to snap out of it, her guilty eyes darting away.

“You’re overthinking. Uncle Xu is someone I respect the most. How could we possibly…?”

Of course, she felt guilty.

She had just scolded Xia Qingge yesterday for talking about Xu Hao in her sleep, warning her not to get involved with him.

And yet, before the day even ended, she was the one who ended up with Xu Hao.

If Xia Qingge found out, wouldn’t she be ridiculed for the next two and a half years?

“Oh really? But I still don’t believe you.”

Xia Qingge tilted her head and thought for a moment.

“I have an idea. There’s a way to prove your innocence…”

“What way?”

Li Yunshu’s eyes lit up with hope.

She really didn’t want Xia Qingge to find out the truth. She just wanted to bury the whole situation and move on.

“Obviously, a body check.”

Xia Qingge’s eyes roamed over her, up and down.

“If you just go to the bedroom and let me check, I’ll believe you.”

“No way!”

Li Yunshu immediately objected, her voice sharp.

Was she kidding?!

A body check?

Wouldn’t she be exposed instantly?

Seeing how flustered her friend looked, Xia Qingge figured that if she pushed any further, Li Yunshu might actually pack up and leave.

So, she changed the subject and laughed.

“Hahaha… I was just messing with you! What do you think I am, a pervert? Why would I need to check your body?”

The next morning—

Xu Hongzhuang woke up and nudged her best friend, who was still fast asleep.

Strange.

Xiao Wanling had always been an early riser, the kind to wake up, make tea, and enjoy a peaceful morning.

Since when did she start sleeping in?

“Don’t bother me… just let me sleep a little longer…”

Xiao Wanling swatted her hand away, turned over, and went right back to sleep.

Xu Hongzhuang sighed helplessly and got up to wash up.

By the time breakfast was ready, Xiao Wanling finally stumbled out of bed, still half-asleep.

Luckily, she had taken Xu Hao’s cleansing pill, which boosted her energy.

Otherwise, she really would have slept until noon.

After breakfast, she noticed Xu Hao and Xu Feiyan standing in the courtyard, facing each other with intense expressions.

Curious, she asked, “What are they doing?”

Xu Hongzhuang glanced outside and explained, “Feiyan is probably challenging Dad again.”

“What’s going on?”

“Feiyan loves martial arts. She thinks she’s invincible just because she has some skills. Dad put her in her place once, then started training her. She must’ve been practicing for a few days and now thinks she’s ready to win again.”

Xiao Wanling’s eyes lit up.

Grabbing her best friend’s hand, she pulled her outside.

“We have to watch this! How could we miss such a great show?”

In the Courtyard—

With Xu Feiyan back, an open space had been designated as a training ground.

Xu Feiyan wasn’t weak—breaking stones was no challenge for her.

To prevent her from accidentally demolishing the house, they set up this area so she could train freely.

On the Training Ground—

Shi Qing and Hua Yi, the two referees, took their positions.

“Same rules as always. Fifth Sister, since you’re challenging Dad, have you decided on a punishment if you lose?”

Xu Huayi stepped forward.

Xu Feiyan shot her mischievous little sister a glare, feeling utterly speechless.

They used to put it nicely, calling it a friendly wager for the winner.

Now, they outright asked her what punishment she had in mind…

As if her loss was already guaranteed.

But this time, she had come prepared.

She had to win against Xu Hao—just once—to reclaim her dignity.

Thanks to her younger sister’s instigations, even her eldest sister had abandoned her. She had to win to prove them all wrong.

“I haven’t thought about it—because I won’t lose. You guys can decide.”

“Maid outfit, bunny girl costume, JK uniform… take your pick.”

Xu Feiyan was confident, completely unfazed.

She even hoped her sisters would come up with something even more outrageous.

After all, she had already experienced it before.

She wasn’t afraid.

But if she did win…

Just imagining Xu Hao dressed as a maid, serving her tea, pouring water, and even washing her feet—she could barely hold back her laughter.

“Feiyan, your sisters really go this far?”

Xiao Wanling, watching for the first time, was stunned by what she just heard.

She turned to her best friend.

“What do they mean?”

Xu Hongzhuang was finding it harder and harder to understand this friend of hers.

“It’s the punishment Huayi and the others came up with for the loser.”

“Whoever loses has to wear the assigned outfit and follow the winner’s orders—serving tea, massaging legs, whatever they say…”

“Oh.”

Xiao Wanling let out a relieved oh.

So it was just that.

She patted her chest to calm herself down.

That had seriously shocked her for a second.

And why had her mind gone elsewhere?

Well… it had been influenced by last night.

When she went knocking on Su Wanqiu’s door, Su Wanqiu had opened her wardrobe…

Inside was an overwhelming collection of outfits, an endless array of questionable clothes—

She had been absolutely dazzled, unable to look away!
