The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 277: The Person in the Tree


The awkward atmosphere lingered for a while before Jiang Yixin finally spoke, "So, what are you trying to say by telling me all this?"

The little girl shrugged her shoulders, "Of course, I just want you to learn from it and try not to get beaten by me again. Honestly, every time I knock you down, I'm not happy either."

As she spoke, an uncontrollable smile crept onto her face, obviously insincere.

Jiang Yixin gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words, "I believe you're really unhappy, and one day, you'll be even more unhappy."

"I'll be waiting to see." The little girl nodded and then grabbed a can of beer intending to open it.

Xiao Feng snatched it away, "Why drink so much? Isn't chatting more fun?"

Joking aside, the little girl already caused enough trouble when sober, but if she got drunk, who knows what eye-opening things she might do.

The little girl stuck out her tongue and pouted, "Boring, not even allowed to drink happily. You all carry on, I'm heading upstairs to sleep."

Yawning, she stretched lazily.

However, just as she spread her arms, several pieces of makeup dropped from her, hitting the floor with a "clattering" sound.

Xiao Feng and the others were stunned. Even now, she hadn't forgotten to hide Jiang Yixin's makeup?

Jiang Yixin's face darkened. She had thought the girl had changed her ways. So, returning the makeup was just a ruse, wasn't it?

The little girl awkwardly smiled, picked up the makeup from the floor, and said, "Sorry, it's a habit."

Everyone was speechless, such a peculiar habit was unheard of!

As the little girl bent down to pick up the dropped makeup, Xiao Feng glanced down, peering through her loose neckline, and his eyes widened.

Wow!

Oh no, it was because he saw the inside of her pajamas filled with sewn pockets, apparently well-prepared.

One had to admit, the little girl went to great lengths to hide Jiang Yixin's makeup, even modifying her pajamas.

After picking up the makeup, the little girl sighed, full of regret, and rather dejectedly left the room.

Just as the door closed, Jiang Yixin immediately reached under the pillow, pulling out a premium membership card, eyed Xiao Feng, then Du Qingyue, "Do you think this card could be fake? Or expired?"

"..." Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

The next moment, Jiang Yixin punched the bed in frustration, "I should have known she wouldn't have any good intentions!"

Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue looked at each other and left one after another.

It seemed the war between the little girl and Jiang Yixin was far from over.

Back in the room, Xiao Feng looked mischievously at Du Qingyue, "I always keep my word. When I say I'll give you special treatment, I mean it."

"No need." Du Qingyue panicked, a bad premonition arose.

Sure enough, as the feeling emerged, her lips were sealed in a kiss, as if it were drawing all her strength away.

Slowly, she felt a large hand start to wander over her body, like being scorched by fire, eventually expertly reaching behind to undo her bra clasp.

However, at that moment, a knock on the door sounded.

Xiao Feng frowned, "Who is it?"

"Xiao Feng brother, it's me." The little girl's voice echoed from outside the door.

The daze in Du Qingyue's eyes dissipated. She quickly tidied her clothes and hair, pushing Xiao Feng away.

Xiao Feng walked to the door, annoyed, and saw the little girl outside, clutching her quilt, looking flustered and frightened.

"What's wrong? Did you see cockroaches or mice?" Xiao Feng's tone softened, the girl's look wasn't as if she was joking, something must have happened.

But the little girl responded with a furrowed brow, "Not cockroaches or mice, a person."

"A person?"

"When I pulled the curtains just now, I saw a shadow 'whoosh' past my window," the little girl vividly described with gestures, "Initially, I thought I was seeing things, but then I noticed..."

"Noticed what?" Xiao Feng immediately inquired, "Don't leave us hanging at a time like this."

The little girl clutched the quilt tightly, "I saw a light point on the tree outside the window, which faces Big Sister Jiang's room."

Xiao Feng patted the girl's shoulder reassuringly, "You sleep here tonight, I'll go check it out."

"Be careful!" Du Qingyue expressed her concern.

Xiao Feng nodded his understanding and then exited the room.

If it weren't for Su Yuzhuo's warning, Xiao Feng might have thought the girl was joking, but the two incidents connected, indicating a definite problem.

Xiao Feng went up to the second floor and knocked on Jiang Yixin's door.

"Why... why are you here?" Jiang Yixin seemed surprised and a bit hesitant. Was it appropriate to let him in so late?

But before she could come up with an answer, Xiao Feng walked in and leaned against the wall to turn off the light.

Jiang Yixin's heart tightened; coming to her room late at night and turning off the light first thing—what was he planning?

Her heartbeat quickened, and she started moving towards the door, continually reminding herself that he was her best friend's husband, and she shouldn't betray her friend!

Just as she resolved herself, she saw Xiao Feng approach the bed and use two fingers to carefully lift a corner of the curtain, as if diffusing a bomb.

Jiang Yixin immediately sensed something was off and resisted asking Xiao Feng what was happening, quietly waiting for his next move.

She watched as Xiao Feng slowly crouched down, pulled a knife from his boot, then swiftly yanked open the curtain and window, and like a hawk hunting its prey, he flew out.

From opening the window to leaving the room, the whole process took less than two seconds!

Jiang Yixin's heart tightened, and she quickly ran over to see, only to hear a "clang" sound.

Such a sound was often heard in movies and was unmistakably the sound of weapons clashing together.

Simultaneously, there was a muffled "thud," like something heavy falling from a height.

On the street, Xiao Feng, holding a knife, had the wind slightly lifting the corners of his coat, looking quite like a romantic drama hero.

Opposite him, a person entirely clad in black, save for a pair of visible eyes, knelt on one knee on the ground, raising their head to confront him.
