Chapter 709 Caught red-handed
Liu Hai twisted his ear and smacked him on his head. “Where have you been hiding, you brat!”
“Hah! Are you afraid of me revealing your dirty crimes? I saw everything! I witnessed with my own two eyes how you gobbled up four dumplings! FOUR!”
He pointed his finger at Leina and Ai next. “And you and you! Sneakily eating ice-cream and ramen. Betraying my dearest brothers!”
They narrowed their eyes.
“Proceed with caution, Nian or Jian might wonder where his twin had suddenly disappeared.”
Ai smiled. “Since you were hiding in the cabinet yourself, you are one of us. A culprit.”
Nian shut his ears and vigorously shook his head. “No, no, no! I am not any shady culprit. I just came here to innocently drink some water but what did I see? I saw Grandpa sneakily entering the kitchen and hogging all the dumplings to himself! Then my sister-in-laws came and betrayed my brothers!”
“What is that on your shirt?”
Ai grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards her until he almost stumbled. He sheepishly grinned. “Sister-in-law, this is so bold of you. I really do understand that I am very handsome, even more handsome than your husband but I am very loyal to my Xing Bi. Y-you should be loyal to Jun-cute too!”
*Crack*
Nian furrowed his brows. “Did you hear that cracking sound?”
Liu Hai squeezed his ear once again. “As if my granddaughter-in-law will fall for a buffoon like you!”
Ai smelled his shirt. “It’s sauce.”
“W-what sauce?”
Leina sneered. “Isn’t that the pasta sauce that Nuo cooked? So apparently, Liu Nian was enjoying some pasta all alone. How rude. You didn’t share it with us.”
“All f-false accusations!” He whispered.
Ai snickered. “So you are a thief just like us. I wonder what Mom would have to say to it.”
Cold sweats began to form on his forehead. Liu Hai gasped with horror. “You are the first one to steal food and you dare point your dirty fingers at us! That pasta was supposed to be mine!”
“So were the dumplings!”
“Oh stop it, you two!” Leina separated their cat fight and said, “The most important thing is that we are in this together. Naturally, we will cooperate and keep our mouths shut. Nobody saw anything.”
The other three bobbed their heads hard.
Nian began to drool at the sight of the delicious ramen and asked, “Can I have a bite, sister-in-law?”
Ai protected her bowl as if her life was locked in it. “This ramen is mine.”
“Just one bite please!” He cried.
Ai pursed her lips and with a magnanimous heart, shared a piece of the delicious fatty pork with him.
Liu Hai chuckled evilly. “This is life. Stealing food at 3 in the morning. What more do you want?”
“I know right,” Ai gulped in the zesty, tingling soup and said, “With our partners dead asleep, what can be more enjoyable than to fool them like this?”
The four laughed as if they belonged to some evil cult. But that “How dare you call me buffoon, you old buffoon!” He glared at him.
laughter was cut short as a bright burst of yellow light spread in the kitchen, which came none other than from the kitchen bulbs.
Liu Hai scrunched his brows and smacked Nian. “Why did you switch on the lights, you idiot?”
“You blind old man, am I not sitting right in front of you!?”
While they bickered, it was only Ai and Leina who realized the gravity of the situation as they saw two pairs of legs standing at the kitchen’s entrance. They didn’t dare to raise their heads and verify whose heads were actually attached to those bodies.
Leina urgently tugged onto Liu Hai’s clothes and whispered. “It’s not Nian who switched on the lights.” ｂ𝚍𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｎｔ
“…”
Nian blinked and felt a strange chill at his back.
*Crack*
“Hey, hey! I heard the cracking sound again! Did you hear it too?”
“If you turn just a little back, you will get to see the source of it.”
“Oh, really?” Nian grinned and merrily looked back only to recognize the horror standing before his eyes.
“A-A ghost! Jun’s ghost! And Jian’s ghost too!”
The tall figures of the two brothers towered over the thief gang as if some loan sharks had come to collect their debt.
Jun’s cold and frigid smile coupled with his cracking knuckles was the sign that doom was here. “Now it’s time to make you a ghost. What was that insinuation about Ai falling for you? Care to tell me that again?”
Nian cleared his throat and shamelessly pointed at Ai. “Well didn’t she grab my shirt and smell me like a hooligan first?”
Ai let out a betrayed gasp. She clenched her jaw, throwing killing beams towards Nian. “This is what I get for sharing my precious piece of delicious fatty pork with you!?”
She felt Jun’s razor-sharp gaze fell at her and she quietly slid the bowl towards Nian. “It was Nian who finished it.”
“Hawww!” Nian clutched his chest. “How can you be even more shameless than me, sister-in-law! I didn’t even touch that bowl!”
On the other side, Jian smilingly asked Leina, “Enjoyed the ice-cream, my dear wife? There is no use hiding the cup now.”
Leina, who was trying to get rid of the evidence, stiffened. But she then gave him a haughty look. “Are you proposing that I am a thief?”
“Do I really have to propose at this point?”
“Well then I will happy to reveal the ugly truth that it’s all your fault for cutting down on my eating ice-cream!”
Ai found her chance and swiftly joined her. “Yes, yes! Jun has been just like that. Not allowing me to have my cravings. In the end, the pitiful and helpless wives have to scrape up the food by themselves…Let’s go from here, Leina. It’s hurtful to see our husband’s diminishing love for us.”
“Yes, let’s go!”
Ai had a snobbish exit in her mind but soon, she realized that her big belly was in the way for her to stand up. Similarly, Leina’s stomach was so full that she couldn’t even lift her finger anymore.
“…”
Ai tried to lift herself more, but her pregnant belly had her butt glued to the floor. She pressed her lips inward.
“Where is that haughty, dramatic and hair-flipping-back kind of an exit you were going to give, Ai-chan?” Jun smiled.
