Chapter 356 - 335: Nothing Is More Delicious Than Dumplings, Nothing Is More Fun Than~

Wu Yun shifted his body slightly toward Qi Fei and grabbed the cool, small hand, its palm a bit rough, stopping it from unzipping his pants.

Before Wu Yun could let go, he felt a light touch on his calf.

Wu Yun glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Liu Nana’s calf resting against his, her foot bobbing up and down on its toes.

Wu Yun let go of Liu Nana’s hand, took out his phone, and glanced at Qi Fei, who was engrossed in the movie. He quickly typed out a message: "What are you doing! Don’t mess around!"

After sending the message to Liu Nana, Wu Yun felt like a complete hypocrite. He wanted to be the infamous Cao Thief, but didn’t have the guts to go all in.

Though Liu Nana’s phone vibrated, she didn’t pull it out to check. She simply retracted her left hand, her calf occasionally bumping against Wu Yun’s as if by accident.

Wu Yun was feeling pent-up. Qi Fei had just gotten her period, so he’d gone a few days without any action.

On top of that, while others had tried to seduce him like this before, this was different. Liu Nana was his girlfriend’s sister-in-law, which added a unique, thrilling element to the situation.

Wu Yun was still holding onto a shred of reason and hadn’t completely lost his head. Fortunately, for the rest of the movie, Liu Nana didn’t do anything else too outrageous.

When the movie ended, Liu Nana’s expression was perfectly normal. She laughed and joked with Wu Yun as if nothing had happened at all.

Since Wu Yun had paid for the snacks that afternoon, Liu Nana used it as an excuse to treat them both to dinner.

During dinner, Wu Yun received a message from Liu Nana: "Little brother! Are you free tonight? Let’s chat about the novel alone! I want to get your opinion on something!"

Wu Yun looked at the message; it was all but explicitly saying she wanted to discuss a multi-hundred-million-dollar project with him tonight.

Wu Yun didn’t reply immediately. He just used his glasses to repeatedly check Liu Nana’s Affinity for him. To his surprise, it had already risen to 85!

Wu Yun hadn’t expected this.

Still, Wu Yun tested the waters: "Is it something we can’t talk about over the phone?"

Liu Nana shot him a look, a flirtatious gaze so potent it almost made him hard on the spot.

"I can’t explain it in just a few words. It’ll take at least an hour or two! Let’s talk alone!"

Wu Yun didn’t hesitate. He decided then and there to go meet her alone tonight. He would be the Cao Thief.

After dinner, Wu Yun used the excuse that Gao Qiang needed him for something that night and sent Qi Fei back to the villa first.

"Sister Na, should we take you home first?" Wu Yun asked, turning around from the front passenger seat after Qi Fei got out of the car.

At this point, Liu Nana dropped all pretense. She grinned, raised an eyebrow at Wu Yun, and said, "Take me home first. I’ll make an excuse to come out later."

Wu Yun asked, "Where should we meet then?"

"How about... I come straight to your place?"

"Uh... sure!" At home would be relatively safer, he reasoned. After all, he couldn’t forget what Liu Nana’s father-in-law did for a living.

After dropping Liu Nana off at her residential complex, Wu Yun had Hawkeye drive him home.

To handle any potential surprises, Wu Yun gave special instructions to his four-man team to watch Liu Nana as she entered the complex and see if anyone was following her.

To prevent any accidents, Wu Yun also spent 100,000 in the system to buy a one-time-use signal jammer. It had an effective radius of fifty meters and would last for twelve hours.

The signal jammer could not only block signals but also disable all types of pinhole cameras and recording devices.

At the same time, he bought a miniature lie detector, which was also a single-use item with a time limit.

The miniature lie detector was worn on his wrist like a watch. It would vibrate to alert him whenever the target told a lie.

With all these preparations complete, Wu Yun finally sent Liu Nana a message: "Let me know when you get to Huilu International. I’ll have someone bring you up."

’No way was he just going to give out his full address, even if he didn’t live in this apartment regularly.’

An hour later, Wu Yun got a call from Liu Nana, saying she was at the entrance of the complex.

"Wait there. My driver will pick you up shortly."

By now, the sky had grown completely dark. Liu Nana stood by the roadside holding a backpack. A moment later, she saw the familiar Rolls-Royce pull up.

After Liu Nana got in, the Rolls-Royce entered the underground parking garage through a different gate. After a series of twists and turns, it stopped at the entrance to one of the apartment buildings.

Hawkeye spoke in fairly standard Huaxia: "Ma’am! Please follow me! Our boss is waiting for you inside!"

As he spoke, Hawkeye watched Liu Nana’s expression closely.

Although the Huilu International complex wasn’t particularly luxurious, Hawkeye’s behavior made Liu Nana feel like she was passing through multiple security checks to meet a final boss.

Having taught herself psychology, she instantly understood Wu Yun’s thinking. ’He’s afraid of being caught in a honey trap!’

However, Liu Nana understood his precautions. He was something of a public figure, after all, and quite famous in the country. While an incident like this wouldn’t have a huge impact on Wu Yun himself, it would severely affect his relationship with Qi Fei—at least, that’s what Liu Nana believed.

Following Hawkeye to the elevator, Liu Nana’s heart began to race as they ascended. She could even hear the pounding in her chest.

This was her first time ever doing something like this—a hookup—and with someone she was connected to, no less.

Liu Nana wasn’t sure why she was doing it. Maybe it was because she hadn’t had a sex life in so long. Or maybe it was because she’d recently discovered her husband, Qi Yachuan, was cheating on her through his video calls and chats. Perhaps she just wanted revenge, which led to all this.

Qi Yachuan had no idea she’d studied micro-expressions and behavioral psychology. To her, his little tells were as obvious as a child’s games. She just hadn’t exposed him for the sake of their child.

If Qi Yachuan hadn’t been getting more and more outrageous recently, the thought of seducing her own brother-in-law would never have crossed Liu Nana’s mind.

The opening of the elevator doors jolted Liu Nana from her thoughts.

She followed Hawkeye to Wu Yun’s front door. After he rang the doorbell, the door was opened from the inside a moment later by Wu Yun himself.

"Sister Na! Please, come in!" Wu Yun said with a welcoming smile, then nodded to Hawkeye.

Hawkeye pulled the door closed before turning and heading back to the elevator.

Hawkeye pressed the transmit button on his earpiece. "Brothers, the boss is asking for a report. Anything to note?"

"Position one, all clear!" Da Xiong reported from an SUV staked out at the east gate after scanning the surroundings.

"Position two, all clear!" Caviar said from his car at the other gate.

"Tail is clear!" The report came from Poison Thorn, who had been assigned to the tail detail because he was the least conspicuous of the group.

"Looks like my plans to game online tonight are shot," Da Xiong grumbled, but his eyes remained focused, diligently scanning the area.

...

"Sister Na! I want to know why you’re doing this," Wu Yun said from the sofa, looking at Liu Nana, who sat on the same sofa with her legs crossed.

Liu Nana knew that if she didn’t make things clear tonight, Wu Yun would very likely refuse to "communicate more deeply" with her. "I’m doing it for revenge! Because he cheated on me!"

"Uh..." Wu Yun had many theories, but judging by Liu Nana’s score, she didn’t seem like the promiscuous type.

But he had never guessed this would be the reason.

Liu Nana continued, "So I thought about getting revenge! I found out Qi Yachuan was cheating a year ago, but Qi Ruixi was still little back then. So I endured it. But I also started writing novels again, so I could have my own income!"

"Luckily, I have some talent, so my novels are making money now. The royalties are more than enough for my child and me to live very comfortably in Jingyang."

The miniature lie detector hadn’t vibrated once, which meant Liu Nana was telling the truth. Wu Yun said, "Uh! Sister Na, why did you choose me!?"

Liu Nana’s eyes scanned Wu Yun like a detector. "Because you seem like a decent guy. And you’re easy on the eyes. I’m not just anyone! If I were, I’d have started sleeping around long ago!"

Liu Nana didn’t mind Wu Yun’s gaze and continued, "Besides, you’re capable. You could help my daughter and me if we ever found ourselves with our backs against the wall. Of course, we don’t need that right now!"

Just as Wu Yun was about to ask another question, Liu Nana’s expression turned serious. "Enough talk. Let’s get straight to the point."

With that, she stood up and took off her long down jacket.

...

"Sister Na! Is now really the best time to be calling Brother Qi?"
