Chapter 256 - 139: The Water Fed by Brother-in-law is Sweeter

Chapter 256: Chapter 139: The Water Fed by Brother-in-law is Sweeter

Xiao Wanqing supported Su Ran, who was walking with his legs splayed, as they made their way from the small alley to a late-night snack stall.

Seeing Su Ran’s walking posture, Xiao Wanqing held back her laughter.

Passersby cast curious glances their way, and two girls who walked past turned back to point and whisper.

’That guy’s walking bow-legged. Did he get a circumcision?’

’Probably. His girlfriend is so pretty, he wouldn’t want her to be sexually unsatisfied, hahaha~’

’For a man to go under the knife for his girlfriend, that must be true love.’

PFFT—

Xiao Wanqing finally broke and couldn’t hold it in, but she immediately reined it in, patting Su Ran’s face to comfort him. "Alright, my bad. I won’t laugh anymore. When we get home, I’ll take a good look and see if you’re hurt."

"Xiao Wanqing, you’re supposed to be a virtuous woman! Just listen to the shameless things you’re saying!"

Xiao Wanqing’s expression darkened. She extended her index finger. "Believe it or not, I could ruin you with one finger."

"You venomous woman!"

"Cut the crap. Just listen to me. Let’s go."

On the way, Su Ran listed all of Xiao Wanqing’s ’crimes’, even bringing up old scores—like the time her shoulder throw hurt him, and now this, and so on. Xiao Wanqing listened to him nagging more than any woman.

She nodded, admitting her fault.

"Fine, I get it, I was wrong. I won’t do it again. But you have to promise me one thing, or else I’ll have to hit you again."

"What is it?"

Xiao Wanqing saw Su Ran tactically lean back, so she laughed and pulled him close again.

"I didn’t say I’d hit you now. It’s just... You’re not allowed to call me by my full name."

"Aren’t names meant to be used?"

"I don’t like it when you use my full name."

"Then what should I call you?"

"Think carefully."

"Baby?"

"BLECH."

"Little cutie?"

"Tch."

"How about Wanqing?"

’Hah,’ she sneered inwardly. ’Playing innocent, are we? Just you wait, I’ll let you have your fill of pretending soon enough.’

So, she held onto Su Ran’s arm, supporting him as he walked with his legs splayed over to the late-night snack stall.

Su Ran looked at all the delicious food displayed at the barbecue stall, and his indecisiveness kicked in.

"Wanqing, grab whatever you like. My treat."

Xiao Wanqing instantly got into character, transforming in a second into a cute little sister-in-law who’d been coaxed out of the house by her brother-in-law. She said in a coquettish voice, "Brother-in-law, my sister won’t get mad that you snuck me out for a late-night snack behind her back, will she?"

Holy shit!

Su Ran was nearly struck dead by shock. He turned and leaned in close. "Don’t talk nonsense, so many people are watching."

Xiao Wanqing covered her mouth. "Brother-in-law, you can’t kiss me."

PFFT—

Su Ran was dumbfounded. When did Xiao Wanqing learn to be as mischievous as Aina?

The barbecue stall owner gave the ’brother-in-law’, Su Ran, a knowing smirk. ’They sure know how to have fun.’

Su Ran had no idea Xiao Wanqing was so vengeful. "Are you nuts?" Seeing she was about to pull another prank, Su Ran twisted open a bottle of juice and stuck it in her mouth. "Talk less."

GULP~

Xiao Wanqing took a sip and said blissfully, "Even water tastes sweeter when my brother-in-law feeds it to me."

PFFT—

Su Ran covered his face, giggling.

Xiao Wanqing grabbed a handful of large kidneys and handed them to the owner. "Owner, grill some large kidneys for my brother-in-law. It’s his favorite."

"Xiao Wanqing, you..."

"What is it, brother-in-law..."

Su Ran chuckled. ’A bit interesting. Messing with me, are you? Fine! We’ll see who’s afraid of who.’

With that, Su Ran immediately put on a fierce glare and berated her, "Little sister-in-law, can you stop trying to seduce me every day? Your sister and I have a great relationship. Can’t you have some self-respect?"

Ah, this—

Xiao Wanqing was left completely speechless.

"Ooh~" The owner’s eyes lit up. ’Now this is getting interesting.’

Su Ran gave a smug smile. ’Trying to compete with me? You’re too inexperienced.’

Once the barbecue was ready, Su Ran grabbed it and started walking off. Xiao Wanqing scurried after him, "Brother-in-law, wait for me... Brother-in-law..."

Su Ran grabbed her hand and pinned her against a wall.

"What are you doing?"

"Xiao Wanqing, you insist on calling me brother-in-law, right? Well, do you have an older sister? A cousin would work, too. I’ll make it happen for you."

Xiao Wanqing smiled brightly, raising her hands to wrap them around Su Ran’s neck. "There’s only me, your little sister-in-law. Do you like that?"

"I do. In that case, next time we’re... doing it, don’t moan ’Su Ran~ Su Ran~’. Change it to ’Brother-in-law~ Brother-in-law~’. It’ll be more exciting."

"Pervert! Hmph, let’s go."

It was just a bit of spice to liven up their life.

Xiao Wanqing helped Su Ran back to their apartment complex, feeling utterly blissful. In truth, women love having their beloved by their side.

’Sigh... so annoying.’

’This little puppy likes to drink milk from everywhere.’

"Wait, your shoelace is untied. You’re holding the barbecue, so it’s not convenient for you to squat down. I’ll tie it for you."

Xiao Wanqing handed the barbecue back to Su Ran, hitched up her down jacket, and squatted down beside him to tie his shoelace.

Some residents who were passing by saw this and started muttering...

’Isn’t that the Xiao Family’s daughter?’

’A woman tying a man’s shoelaces... Hmph, how disgraceful.’

If a man ties a woman’s shoelaces, people would say, "Oh, that man loves his girlfriend so much."

If a woman ties a man’s shoelaces, the keyboard warriors would despise a woman like that.

Xiao Wanqing paid them no mind, tying Su Ran’s shoelace willingly and with all her heart.

Su Ran glanced down at Xiao Wanqing and reached out to stroke her hair. He then tilted his head back and let out a long, contented sigh, "Haaaah~"

What the...

Xiao Wanqing yanked the lace into a dead knot. She shot her head up, looking both embarrassed and furious, her eyes full of murder. "What are you sighing about? What are you thinking about while I’m tying your shoelaces?"

"Is it wrong for me to even take a breath? Xiao Wanqing, ever since you slept with me, you’ve gotten more and more aggressive."

"Who slept with whom? You... In any case, that sigh of yours didn’t sound right."

"So now even my breathing is wrong, is that it?"

"I can’t be bothered with you."

Xiao Wanqing got up, walked a couple of steps forward, then came back and pulled on Su Ran, who was standing rooted to the spot.

"Let’s go."

They took the elevator upstairs and arrived at the Xiao’s House Entrance.

"Wait..." Su Ran stopped Xiao Wanqing. "Sister Wanqing," he asked, "in what capacity am I going in?"
