"No way, if I let you go, your sister will kill ." Su Chen's face was a picture of agony.
"Brother-in-law, do you really have the heart to let your adorable little niece face that tigress?" Lin Shuang'er said pitifully.
Su Chen's face twitched, "Is that how you talk about your sister?"
"Brother-in-law, if you let go, I'll agree to any request you have, anything at all," Lin Shuang'er played her trump card.
Any request?
Su Chen's eyes widened at the words.
His gaze swept across his niece's youthful and vibrant body.
"Your brother-in-law I..." Su Chen was about to say that your brother-in-law is not that kind of person.
But the girl tiptoed up and pecked his face.
Then she continued to gaze at him with her pitiful eyes.
"Cough cough, your brother-in-law I am not unreasonable, just this once, never again," Su Chen coughed and said.
What else could he do?
The poor thing was in this state, he couldn't really let his niece fall into the hands of the tigress.
"Can I go now?" Seeing that Su Chen finally gave in, Lin Shuang'er blinked her sparkling eyes.
"Off you go, off you go!" Su Chen waved his hand impatiently.
Lin Shuang'er walked to the window, where a rope was hanging—it appeared she'd already prepared her escape route.
However, before going down, the girl suddenly turned back, a shy look on her face, looking at Su Chen.
"Um, brother-in-law, can you, uh, help grab that thing..." Just now, Lin Shuang'er had been searching for that very thing when Su Chen suddenly ca in.
Hearing this, Su Chen swallowed, thinking to himself that dear wife, I wasn't intending to rummage through your wardrobe on purpose.
Then he began to search.
In a drawer in the middle of the wardrobe, Su Chen found a stack of colorful toys.
It set his heart racing.
"Which is yours?" Su Chen rummaged for a long ti.
"Any will do, I share with my sister!" said Lin Shuang'er.
Knock knock knock.
At that mont, footsteps sounded.
"Not good, your sister is coming!" Su Chen quickly turned and warned Lin Shuang'er.
Luckily, by this ti, Lin Shuang'er had already put on her clothes.
Knowing that ti was urgent, Lin Shuang'er quickly threw on her jacket, then swiftly climbed down from the window, whispering, "Brother-in-law, could you pull up the rope for ?"
Su Chen quickly went to the window, and after Lin Shuang'er had climbed down, pulled up the rope and threw it down.
Just as Su Chen tossed the rope down.
Creak.
The door was pushed open.
Lin Xi walked in.
"Did you catch the thief?" Seeing the ss in the room, and even her drawer for private items pulled out, Lin Xi's pretty face turned ugly.
"No, the thief had run away when I ca in," replied Su Chen.
"Humpf, this property managent is getting worse. Even thieves can get into the villa area!" Lin Xi grumbled.
"Yes, yes, they should be complained about!" Su Chen quickly agreed.
Fortunately, there wasn't really anything valuable in the villa, of course, only in Lin Xi's eyes it wasn't valuable.
Lin Xi called for housekeeping, then she started to tidy up her room.
"That, wife, do you need my help?" Seeing Lin Xi picking up the trinkets he'd ssed up, Su Chen felt a bit guilty.
After all, he'd made the ss, so it was his responsibility to tidy them up.
Ah, really, it was out of guilt, definitely not for any other reason.
Only then did Lin Xi realize he was still there, looking intently at the trinkets in her hand, her face reddened, she gritted her teeth and said: "Get out."
"Wife, I really can help, everyone calls a folding wizard."
"Out, out!" Lin Xi pushed Su Chen out without discussion.
These were all her private items, and now all had been seen by Su Chen, which was so embarrassing.
Not being able to help his wife, Su Chen felt a deep sense of regret.
Back in his own room, he found it surprisingly neat; probably because the girl wasn't interested in his room, so it was spared.
Perfect, no cleaning necessary.
He opened his cellphone and found a text ssage.
It was from Lin Shuang'er.
There was nothing much, just a ssage to express her gratitude and to sternly remind him not to give her away.
With the joint efforts of the housekeeping auntie and Qiu Jinghan, by evening, the villa had once again beco spotless.
"This thief is really odd, didn't actually steal anything," Qiu Jinghan said with a strange look on her face as she served the dinner.
"Not that they didn't steal anything..." Lin Xi suddenly said.
"Oh, miss, did you lose anything?" Qiu Jinghan asked anxiously.
"No, nothing..." Lin Xi looked down and ate.
Although Lin Xi didn't say, Su Chen knew what Lin Xi had lost.
Naturally, it was that thing that was taken.
Because Lin Shuang'er had worn it and taken it away.
Lin Xi also felt strange; why did she not lose anything else but that specific item?
Could it be the work of soone with a peculiar fetish?
It seems she needs to be more careful in the future.
Early the next morning, Lin Xi got up early, even earlier than Qiu Jinghan.
Because she needed to sort out what she'd learned.
Although her mory was good, the entire process was very complicated, with more than thirty steps, and every step had to be free from error, otherwise, it would directly affect the dyeing and printing results.
So, she had to write it down right away.
She was still busy until it was ti to go to work.
"Uh, wife, I'm off to work then?" Su Chen called out to Lin Xi.
"Mhm." Lin Xi replied, not lifting her head.
Su Chen felt disheartened.
What he had actually wanted to say was, wife, since our workplaces are on the sa route, shall we take your car?
But Lin Xi clearly had no ti for him.
Alright, he would go to work on his own.
It's just as well, he got this job on his own rits, so he wouldn't be accused of nepotism.
People saying he got in through the back door didn't matter, what would really be annoying is if they said he was Lin Xi's kept boy-toy.
After all, with his current state, what credentials did he have to deserve Lin Xi?
