Chapter 178: Catching You

Back to Chapter List
The Huang family couple were truly worried. When they tried to call their daughter, the phone showed "no service." At the Eighty Electronic Bookstore, they called several relatives, all of whom said they hadn't seen Huang Xiao Zhi. With no other options, they decided to call Fang Fei and Wang Yu Jia. Wang Yu Jia was out shopping with her mother at the moment. She had just hung up with Huang Zhi's phone when Fang Fei called back. The first thing the elder sister asked was, "Yu Jia, do you think Xiao Zhi might be at your husband's place?" How could one possibly guess? When she picked up the call from Huang Zhi, Wang Yu Jia had already thought of this—though she wouldn't reveal Qin Feng's address. Intentionally stepping away from her mother, Wang Yu Jia lowered her voice and said, "Fei姐, Xiao Zhi is definitely there. She's been taking sick leave several times recently just to spend more time at her husband's place. Do you think they've reached that point—just hugging and touching, or have they gone further?" "She's got guts!" Fang Fei exclaimed, "After all, that's my brother-in By the way, my mom mentioned that my sister has been staying at home very infrequently lately—she must be living with her husband now. No way! As the official cousin-in-law, I really need to go over and give Huang Xiaozhi a warning so she can pay more attention. Wang Xiaoniu quickly added, "I'm going too. Xiaozhi has definitely gone too far. I'm going to join Xiao Fei to confront her together." After saying this, the girl made up a story for her mother, left her alone, and took a taxi straight toward her home. The two young women arrived at the community gate almost simultaneously. With Fang Fei's sharp mind, she couldn't fail to sense what her close friend was thinking—yet, with so many people, she simply had to endure. The two girls marched boldly toward Qin's villa. Inside the villa, Huang Xiaoniu was drenched in sweat, having nearly exhausted all her strength in the fierce battle—she no longer even remembered how many times she had reached the peak. Qin Feng was deeply impressed by the young girl's endurance—she outperformed Mei Hui and Fang Fang, holding her own for over an hour without faltering. Fortunately, Qin Feng himself was even more resilient; otherwise, it was far from certain whether he could secure her. Huang Xiaoniu looked satisfied, breathing lightly and drawing circles with her fingers on his chest, occasionally lifting her head to gaze at him with sparkling eyes. "What would you like to say?" Qin Feng gently held her close. After thinking for a moment, Xiaoniu smiled sweetly. "It's not much, really. I just feel so sweet inside. Uncle, from now on, I'll be yours. Will you love and care for me?" "Of course," said Qin Feng, beginning his declaration of love. "No matter who it is—your parents or anyone else—no one shall ever harm you. If they argue again, just come to me. I'll give you the keys to your home. Even when I'm away, you're welcome to visit anytime." "Um, your brother-in-law is really kind—kiss!" The little girl gave him a deep, enthusiastic kiss on the face. It made sense why so many older men liked young women—women of that age were less complicated, more straightforward, and far easier to please. Who would want a partner who was constantly thinking deeply and analyzing everything? "By the way, will your mother forgive your father?" He started worrying about the yellow-bodied man now, since his daughter had already settled with him—after all, it was only natural to think about the future of his mother-in-law. The young girl replied without hesitation, "She'll definitely forgive him, but Dad will have to pay a heavy price. For instance, he'll transfer all his savings and shares into my mother's name, because my mother once said, 'Men who find a third wife have no rights.'" Indeed, as the saying goes, "Know your mother best through your daughter"—the girl had guessed perfectly. The yellow-bodied man was almost completely out of the running, and he must be regretting not having saved much for himself these years. Ding-dong… The doorbell rang, and both of them jumped in surprise. As for who will come by to visit, could it be Huang Fat and his wife? If it really is them, what then? That's what Qin Dashi is worried about. The young girl doesn't see it that way—she's never mentioned her brother-in-law to her parents, and she's actually more afraid that it'll be her two closest friends showing up to catch her out. They exchange a glance. Qin Feng turns on the monitor, where Fang Fei and Wang Yujia appear on screen. "Did you invite them?" he asks, breathing a sigh of relief—after all, as long as it's not Huang and his wife. Huang Xiaozi quickly shakes her head, saying, "How could I possibly invite them? Brother-in-law, do they know something?" "Well, what can we do then? Can you get up and go? Should I go alone to open the door, or shall we go together?" he proposes with a cheerful smile. The young girl quickly pulls the thin blanket over herself, only her small head peeking out, saying, "Of course you go alone to open the door. Don't tell them I'm here, Brother-in-law—please, you must help me." Qin Feng straightened his shoulders, got off the bed, dressed in his outer robe and slippers, and went downstairs to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, Fang Fei expressed her dissatisfaction: "What's going on? We've been waiting this long—what were you doing, Brother-in-law?" Looking at Wang Yuji, she found him pressing his nose against his chest, constantly sniffing the air. Clearly, the two girls had planned this out together—no wonder Huang Xiao'niu was hesitant to come down; these three truly were inseparable, so well acquainted with one another. "I was still sleeping," Qin explained openly, "I had to get up, dress, and then come down—so it naturally took longer." The two girls grew even more uncertain—was Huang Xiao'niu really not here at all? As they entered, Wang Xiao'niu gently pulled at Fang Fei's sleeve and whispered, "I can smell the delicate fragrance that Xiao'zi loves—apple-scented, I'm certain. It's definitely on Brother-in-law's person." This confirmed that Huang Xiao'niu had definitely been here. Whether she had left now would require further investigation. The two girls exchanged a glance and nodded in unison. Wang Yujia hugged his arm, cooing, "Uncle, I'm thirsty—would you mind getting me a drink?" "You know where the fridge is; just go get it yourself," Qin Feng replied. "But I specifically asked you to do it! How about we go together?" Wang Xiao Niu's big eyes sparkled with electric energy. Such requests from a beautiful young girl are rarely turned down, and Qin, the young noble, was no exception. "Alright! Then, what would you like to drink, Xiao Fei? I'll get it for you too." "No thanks, Uncle—I'm not thirsty," Xiao Fei said, heading toward the sofa. As soon as the two entered the kitchen, Xiao Fei quickly ascended the stairs and rushed straight into the master bedroom. Hmm, no one there? The air carried a strange scent—somewhere between almond-flavored drink and fishy aroma, with a hint of apple-scented girl's perfume. The bed was a mess. Could it be that they'd mistaken the two for the cause of the issue? Yet, the apple-scented women's fragrance was definitely Vanessa's favorite. With a look of curiosity, she turned around and suddenly noticed that the door to the study across from her was slightly ajar, a quiet smile playing at the corner of her lips.
