Chapter 616 - 616: A Better Way

In less than half a minute, the swarm of wasps swept through like a locust plague, vanishing as if they had never appeared.

However, Lone Wolf and Chen Feihu, who were lying on the ground gasping for air and covered in stings, could attest that the countless wasps really had been there.

"Hahahahaha, Old Chen, I really want to take a photo of you. With your current look, you wouldn't even need makeup if you were starring in a horror movie," Lone Wolf laughed while grimacing in pain.

Chen Feihu chuckled lightly, "As if you're much better than me. It's just a personal image, dare to take a selfie and post it on Moments?"

"Why wouldn't I dare." Lone Wolf retorted defiantly, "Let's take a group photo and post it together. Whoever doesn't post it is a wimp."

"Alright, get the phone, let's take it now."

"Let's do it, who's afraid of whom!"

With that, the two hooked their arms around each other's shoulders and actually lay on the ground starting to take selfies.

"..." Xue Nuofu.

"..." Du Qingyue.

"..." Jiang Yixin.

Are these two missing a few screws?

Already stung like this, and they still have the leisure to take selfies and post on Moments?

After a moment of silence, Du Qingyue seemed to suddenly think of something, turned her gaze to Xue Nuofu, and asked coldly, "Are those wasps poisonous?"

Xue Nuofu shook his head, indicating no, but inside he was grumbling, thinking that those two having fun with selfies down there must have poison in their brains.

"You're asking for something from Xiao Feng, aren't you?" Du Qingyue asked.

Although it sounded like a question, her expression gave the impression that she was quite sure her assumption was true.

Xue Nuofu nodded, "You're right, I am here to ask for something."

"It's not a guess, it's analysis," Du Qingyue said bluntly, "It's a simple reason: if you weren't here to ask for something, you wouldn't have stopped just in time."

Xue Nuofu paused, reassessing Du Qingyue from a distance, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Alright, I take back what I said earlier, your analysis is spot on."

Du Qingyue said calmly, "Since you know Xiao Feng, come in and have a talk if you have something to say."

With that, she opened the gate and made a welcoming gesture.

Upon hearing this, Lone Wolf immediately dropped his joking demeanor and got up from the ground, "Sister-in-law, you can tell just by looking, this guy is no good, don't be careless."

Jiang Yixin also quietly reminded, "Qingyue, letting him in does indeed seem risky."

Du Qingyue laughed, "You've seen what just happened, if he really wanted to harm us, what would this gate do?"

Jiang Yixin and Lone Wolf were left speechless, only able to close their mouths obediently.

Xue Nuofu also did not stand on ceremony, walking straight towards the villa.

Upon entering, he saw a coffee table in front of the sofa, its four legs apparently used as torches just a moment ago.

"Yixin, bring a cup of tea."

Du Qingyue sat down on the sofa first, while gesturing for Xue Nuofu to sit opposite her.

Xue Nuofu slowly sat down, his gloved hand resting on the armrest, his fingers rhythmically rising and falling as he said, "Why don't you continue to analyze, why am I looking for Xiao Feng?"

This was clearly putting someone on the spot.

But Du Qingyue was not angry, her expression calm as she said, "Firstly, you don't know Xiao Feng is not home, so you didn't contact him before coming.

Secondly, when I said he wasn't home, you didn't believe it, indicating your relationship with him isn't very cordial.

Or rather, you may have asked him for something before, but he never agreed."

Beneath the hood, Xue Nuofu's eyebrows furrowed instantly; this woman's insight was terrifying.

Although there wasn't much to analyze from, the few clues were enough, and having someone like this in Xiao Feng's house must mean a difficult life, right?

At the very least, it would be hard to hide private funds or anything like that.

Bah!

What nonsense was he thinking.

Just then, he heard Du Qingyue ask, "If it's convenient, can we see what you look like?"

This was not entirely out of curiosity; it was mainly Xue Nuofu's voice that made it hard to determine gender.

Consequently, Du Qingyue couldn't help but wonder, could the person be a woman?

And if it was a woman, what kind of request would she have for Xiao Feng?

As legally recognized spouses, Du Qingyue felt she had every reason to think this way.

Xue Nuofu hesitated, a hint of indecision flashing in his eyes.

But then he remembered Xiao Feng had already seen his face, continuing to hide would appear petty, moreover, as a man, what was there to be shy about?

With that thought, Xue Nuofu readily removed his hood.

"Pop!"

The sound of glass breaking shattered the air.

Jiang Yixin, who happened to be emerging from the kitchen doorway, was dumbfounded, staring at the person seated impressively on the sofa, not noticing the water glass no longer in her hand.

Du Qingyue frowned slightly, it really was a woman?

Such a reaction wasn't unusual, because when Xiao Feng first saw Xue Nuofu's face, he wasn't much calmer than Jiang Yixin and Du Qingyue.

A perfectly oval face, snow-white skin, exquisite features, giving an overall classical beauty.

Especially the charm in the brows, it's so naturally alluring, every frown and smile is enchanting!

Previously, Xiao Feng had mentally assessed Xue Nuofu and thought if she grew her hair a bit longer, she'd wield fatal attraction to men.

Now, Xue Nuofu's hair had grown to shoulder-length, the slightly forlorn expression combined with weariness in her eyes truly gave a "pitiful" imagery.

It took a full thirty seconds before Du Qingyue collected herself, suppressing the tumult in her heart as she asked, "Why are you looking for Xiao Feng?"

"I..."

Xue Nuofu opened his mouth, intending to speak honestly, but just as the words were about to spill, a sudden inspiration hit him, leading to a better plan.

But this plan... required a bit of a sacrifice.

After a bout of mental struggle, Xue Nuofu made up his mind, in order to lure Xiao Feng out, he was going all out!

He slightly lowered his head, bit his lips gently, wearing a hard-to-disclose expression, then placed a hand on his lower abdomen, rubbing it repeatedly.

"I get it!"

Du Qingyue said faintly, her face surprisingly calm.

Jiang Yixin took two steps back, incredulously watching Xue Nuofu's continued, suggestive action.

Could Xiao Feng really be that kind of person?

After taking out her phone, Du Qingyue opened WeChat's pinned chat, and started a video call.

She thought there might be no answer, or it might just not go through.

But after a couple of rings, it surprisingly connected.

On the screen, Xiao Feng's bright smile appeared.

"Honey, are you missing me?"

Du Qingyue took a deep breath, her eyes full of disappointment, "It's not me who misses you, it's this lady who does."

"Lady?"

On the other end of the call, Xiao Feng was obviously stunned, names flashing quickly through his mind, but he was too unsure to be confident.
