The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 688 - 688: Lackey of Three Surnames

  • Next Chapter

Arriving at the gate of his villa, Zhao Guo'an took out his key to open the door.

But just as he pushed open the gate, a short-haired "woman" swiftly walked out of the house.

The woman possessed striking features—willow-like eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, fair and delicate skin, a high nose bridge, and cherry-like lips.

When combined, it was hard not to be dazzled, amazed at how the Creator favored this person so much!

Most captivating was the natural allure in her brow, making it no exaggeration to say she could captivate and ensnare souls.

Upon seeing the woman, Zhao Guo'an's mind went blank, even forgetting the basic question of asking who she was.

Moments later, the woman spoke: "Excuse me, are you the owner of this house?"

Zhao Guo'an remained silent, seemingly still in a state of brain fog.

Zhen Jinghan, however, had reacted, turning her gaze to Zhao Guo'an, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation.

Standing in the middle of the group, Lin Zhiyan scrutinized Xue Nuofu.

Her intuition told her that this "woman" showing up at Zhao Guo'an's house was likely connected to Xiao Feng.

At that thought, a sense of discomfort brewed within her.

This playboy, how many female confidants does he actually have?

And the next moment, her intuition was directly confirmed.

She heard the woman ask, "Where is Xiao Feng? Did he come back with you?"

Only then did Zhao Guo'an finally snap out of it: "Uh... you're old Xiao's..."

"Friend," Xue Nuofu replied.

"Oh, friend," Zhao Guo'an continued nonchalantly, inwardly cursing Xiao Feng for stashing someone away in his home.

The key was that it was less than a hundred meters from where Du Qingyue lived, wasn't he afraid of getting caught?

Zhen Jinghan privately breathed a sigh of relief; from their dialogue, it seemed Zhao Guo'an didn't know the woman standing before him.

"Where's Xiao Feng?" Xue Nuofu asked.

He was anxious to meet Xiao Feng.

Zhao Guo'an cleared his throat and responded: "He has returned, right next door."

Xue Nuofu's eyes lit up and he immediately headed for the door.

"Wait!" Zhao Guo'an reached out to stop him.

"What's wrong?" Xue Nuofu slightly furrowed his brows, puzzled.

Yet just this furrowed brow briefly entranced Zhao Guo'an again.

This guy is practically a seductress!

Swallowing hard, Zhao Guo'an asked, "Do you know old Xiao is actually married?"

"Yes, I know," Xue Nuofu nodded, "And? What are you trying to say."

"..." Zhao Guo'an.

And then what?

What could anyone say?

Since the person knew Xiao Feng had a wife yet dared to openly show up, was this signal a confrontation?

At that thought, an indescribable excitement stirred in Zhao Guo'an, laughing inwardly, Old Xiao, it's finally time for me to watch you squirm.

"You're looking for old Xiao, right?" Zhao Guo'an enthusiastically said, "Come on, I'll lead you there."

"Thank you!" Xue Nuofu thanked him and followed Zhao Guo'an out the door.

But when passing Lin Zhiyan, Xue Nuofu paused, looking at Lin Zhiyan and said, "Why do I feel there's hostility in your gaze?

Is there something about me that you don't like?"

Lin Zhiyan was slightly surprised, "Hostility? We just met, how could I have hostility toward you? You must be mistaken."

"Perhaps," Xue Nuofu smiled and continued walking, ending the brief dialogue.

Zhao Guo'an swaggered, swinging his arms as he walked into Xiao Feng's villa, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Old Xiao, someone's looking for you."

Xue Nuofu pointed at the people moving boxes into the villa and asked, "Who are they?"

"Oh, just some miscellaneous stuff, you're not asking for old Xiao, let me call for him," Zhao Guo'an casually explained.

But before he could continue yelling for Xiao Feng, Du Qingyue walked out and greeted Zhao Guo'an, then looked at Xue Nuofu, "It's you."

"Yes," Xue Nuofu nodded.

Zhao Guo'an's eyes widened: "You two know each other?"

Du Qingyue and Xue Nuofu nodded simultaneously.

Zhao Guo'an's eyes widened further, this wasn't what he imagined.

Wasn't it supposed to be a hair-pulling, clothes-ripping catfight upon meeting?

How come their relationship seemed harmonious instead?

Then Xiao Feng also came out, slightly surprised to see Xue Nuofu, and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, after some time, you're even more beautiful than before."

Zhao Guo'an instantly turned his gaze to Lin Zhiyan, internally shouting "Flip out, flip out."

But once again he was disappointed when Du Qingyue showed no signs of anger, even playfully cast a reproachful glance at Xiao Feng, as if saying: why praise only her and not me?

For a moment, Zhao Guo'an was thrown into disorder, suspecting he might be dreaming.

To confirm his suspicion, Zhao Guo'an pinched a piece of his thigh hard.

"Hiss..." Zhao Guo'an winced in pain, inhaling sharply, but compared to his inner shock, the physical pain seemed secondary.

Knowing Du Qingyue's temperament well, how could she tolerate such a thing happening?

This isn't logical!

"Don't just stand there, come in and sit," Xiao Feng invited.

Xue Nuofu nodded with a cold face, yet even with an angry expression, there was an inherently pleasing quality.

Zhao Guo'an followed listlessly, but halfway in he was stopped by Xiao Feng: "Why are you tagging along? Settle things on your end first, then join for dinner."

Inside the house, Lu Yao and the little girl sat on the living room sofa.

The little girl peeled an orange while saying to Jiang Yixin, "Sister Jiang, let me give you the lowdown first: right now it's me and Sister Lu Yao against you alone.

So please mind your words and actions, or we won't hesitate to show you what real agony feels like.

Also, let me remind you, Sister Lu Yao may look quiet, but she's fierce in a fight, you'd be down in ten moves."

"Calling for reinforcements isn't impressive, let's fight solo," Jiang Yixin retorted angrily.

At that moment, Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue entered with Xue Nuofu.

The little girl and Lu Yao immediately fixed their gaze on Xue Nuofu's face, reacting similarly to Zhao Guo'an and the others before.

"Sister Qingyue, is this young lady your friend?" the little girl asked.

Xue Nuofu didn't react much, not finding anything particularly strange.

If the little girl had mistaken him for a man, that would have been odd.

"She's my friend," Xiao Feng answered.

Xue Nuofu stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am..."

Xiao Feng immediately interrupted, "Three surname slave."

"???" said the little girl.

"???" said Lu Yao.

Is that really someone's name?

And Xue Nuofu glared at Xiao Feng angrily, yet dared not say anything.
