241: Chapter 241 I'd like to see who dares to go out! - 2

At eight forty, that same door was pushed open again.

This time, it was their future daughter-in-law who emerged.

Sun Na had changed out of her previous bulky cotton-padded clothes and into a figure-hugging dress that accentuated her curves. She wore sheer black stockings and small heels, with a full face of expertly applied 'no-makeup' makeup, giving her an overall look that was both pure and seductive.

"Auntie..."

Sun Na spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Please let Haoxuan go. I'll go with him, and I'll keep an eye on him. I promise he won't drink or cause any trouble, okay?"

Zhao Yumei's gaze passed over her and caught sight of Lin Haoxuan peeking out from inside the room, his face full of anticipation. Her brows immediately furrowed even tighter.

"Na Na, don't cover for him! Don't I know my own son? The moment you get downstairs, he'll ditch you and slip away on his own! Look at that sneaky look on his face—does he look like he's going to do something proper?"

She raised her voice, shouting towards the door, "Lin Haoxuan! Come here! Call that 'friend' of yours right in front of your mother! Put it on speaker!"

Behind the door, Lin Haoxuan's face instantly fell. He pulled his head back in and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang!"

The smile on Sun Na's face stiffened for a moment. She cursed inwardly, "You coward, ruining my date with Brother-in-law," but on the surface, she had to maintain her obedient demeanor.

"This... Haoxuan just told me it was an ordinary gathering. I didn't think much of it... Auntie, you have such sharp eyes, you see right through things."

Zhao Yumei smugly lifted her eyelids and snorted through her nose.

"You usually seem quite clever. How can you not figure out something so simple? If we were at home, going out to have some fun would be one thing. But here in Shengtian, where we don't know anyone, if something happens, won't it just be trouble for your Brother-in-law? Go back, go back."

Sun Na cursed inwardly again.

You Bastard! So your son can fool around all he wants at home, is that it?

Fine! I'm definitely putting this green hat on your Lin family!

She glanced unwillingly at Jiang Ye's tightly closed door, pursed her lips, turned, and went back into her room... Inside the room, Lin Wanxing absentmindedly scrolled through her phone. Before she knew it, it was already nine o'clock.

She secretly looked up at Jiang Ye, who was lying sprawled out in a ' big' shape on the big bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. She cleared her throat.

"Um... It's getting late. I'm going back to my room."

Jiang Ye lazily grunted an "Mhm" and casually waved his hand.

Lin Wanxing walked to the door, casually opened it, then turned back and added a reminder.

"I'll come find you at six tomorrow morning. Remember not to lock the door."

With that, she lifted her foot to step out, but as soon as her foot crossed the threshold, her entire body froze in Shengtian.

Under the dim corridor light, Zhao Yumei, wearing a white face mask with only her eyes exposed, sat upright in the chair directly opposite like a ghost, her eyes blazing as she stared fixedly at her.

Lin Wanxing's heart skipped a beat. Almost instinctively, she retreated back into the room and slammed the door shut with a heavy "bang!" Her heart pounded wildly.

Inside the room, Jiang Ye, who had been muttering, "I really can't stand this woman," heard the heavy slam and sprang up from the bed like a carp leaping out of water.

"Tsk, throwing a tantrum... You've already seen everything there is to see, what's there to be embarrassed about..."

He muttered to himself as he quickly stripped off his clothes and pants, tossing them onto the carpet.

"Speaking of which... hers... must be natural, right? I hear maintaining it artificially is a huge hassle, requires daily upkeep..."

Barefoot, he scratched his butt as he walked towards the bathroom, his mind still engaged in some rather unhealthy academic research.

"Hmm... I'll have to get a closer look when I get the chance, study it properly, see exactly how it's... Holy shit!!"

Just as he rounded the corner at the foot of the bed, Jiang Ye bumped right into Lin Wanxing, who was frozen at the door, her face bright red, her eyes looking like they could kill.

He was startled and instinctively used his hand to cover his key area. "You... didn't you leave?!"

"..."

Lin Wanxing's gaze, uncontrollably, followed from Jiang Ye's stunned face, slowly drifting downward... past his well-defined collarbones, over his budding pectoral muscles and clearly outlined abs, and then... all the way down... "Ah—!!!!!"

A short, sharp scream burst from Lin Wanxing's throat, echoing throughout the room!

Her scream was bad enough, but immediately, urgent knocking and Zhao Yumei's low, furious roar sounded from outside the door.

"Lin Wanxing?! Who are you yelling at?! Open the door! Open the door now!!!"

Jiang Ye felt like his head was about to split in two, his mind full of question marks.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was still screaming with her eyes closed, he sighed exasperatedly, took a swift step forward, covered her mouth with his hand, and whispered urgently.

"Stop screaming, for heaven's sake! How was I supposed to know you hadn't left! Why is your mom here? What's going on?!"

Lin Wanxing's mouth was covered, her hot breath hitting Jiang Ye's palm. She was both embarrassed and furious, her entire body rigid.

Then, she lowered her eyes to look at the hand covering her mouth... This hand... where had it just been... covering?!

"Jiang Ye—!!!"

A feeling mixing extreme shame and an inexplicable thrill instantly overwhelmed her reason. Furious, she directly opened her mouth and bit down hard on the fleshy part of his hand between his thumb and index finger.

"Holy shit!!!"

Jiang Ye grimaced in pain, sucking in a sharp breath. "Lin Wanxing, are you a dog?! Let go! Let go now!"

Seeing Lin Wanxing glaring at him with wide almond-shaped eyes, showing no intention of letting go and instead biting down harder, he quickly resorted to his trump card, speaking rapidly in a low voice.

"It's a misunderstanding! A complete misunderstanding! I didn't know you were still here! I was going to take a shower, what's wrong with that? Stop biting! Your mom is still listening outside! Everything will be exposed in a moment! All the money we spent before will be wasted!"

The words "exposed" were like a bucket of cold water, slightly dousing the flames of shame and anger in Lin Wanxing's heart.

Panting heavily, she reluctantly opened her mouth and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

"You! Go put your clothes on right now!"

Jiang Ye irritably shook his sore hand. "Put what on?! This is fine, just cover it up a bit!"

He let go of Lin Wanxing, quickly rushed into the bathroom, grabbed a towel, and hastily wrapped it around his waist, barely covering the key areas.

Outside the door, Zhao Yumei, hearing no response and faintly hearing her son-in-law's cry, immediately knocked more urgently, her voice rising.

"Lin Wanxing! Open the door! Do you hear me?! What's going on?!"
