Chapter 278: Sleepless Night

Late at night.

After Liu Yunshuang ended her call with Wang Haoran, Liu Xinyao curiously asked her sister.

“Su Yuning… Sis, she’s the friend who’s older than me but younger than you, right?”

“……”

“Are you feeling proud?!”

With an expression of cool indifference, Liu Yunshuang gave Liu Xinyao two resounding slaps on her chest, making them bounce.

Liu Xinyao knew Su Yuning only by name and appearance. She didn’t understand why her brother-in-law was with her in the middle of the night.

“Why? Hmph!”

Liu Yunshuang scoffed coldly.

“What do you think?”

“…”

Seeing Liu Yunshuang’s expression, Liu Xinyao understood everything.

She couldn’t help but feel indignant for her sister.

“Ugh, brother-in-law is really something!”

“It’s one thing to be with your best friend, but calling you to listen in is just too much!”

“So evil!”

“…”

“I’m not a victim! Not at all!”

“It was I who sent Haoran to be with Yuning! You fool!”

Liu Yunshuang passionately rebuffed.

“Sis! How can you call me a fool?! I’m very smart, okay!”

Being called a “fool” to her face, Liu Xinyao pouted in indignation.

But instead of comforting her, Liu Yunshuang continued to scold.

“Aren’t you one?!”

“…I’m not…”

With a flushed face, Liu Xinyao weakly refuted, which only made Liu Yunshuang pinch her cheeks in frustration.

“You’re just a freshman!”

“So young and so…unrestrained! What will become of you in the future?!”

“Sis… you’re one to talk! You’re just the same!”

“Shameless!”

Clearly, Liu Yunshuang was a “do as I say, not as I do” kind of person. Liu Xinyao couldn’t accept this double standard.

“You…!”

Liu Yunshuang got angry upon hearing these accurate yet shameful words.

“Xinyao, you’ve really grown bold, daring to talk to me like this! You deserve a beating!”

Using her superior skills, Liu Yunshuang quickly pressed Liu Xinyao down and gave her a series of spanking slaps.

“Take that for being disobedient!”

“And for mocking me!”

The heavy slaps made Xinyao plead: “Sis, stop hitting me!”

“I won’t say it again next time, okay!!!”

Meanwhile, at Su’s residence…

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuning started discussing Liu Yunshuang with Wang Haoran.

“Yunshuang seems cold and aloof but she’s actually quite silly and doesn’t have much wit!”

“I’m sure she believed what I said!”

She looked at Wang Haoran with a smile, “Haoran, when you’re with Yunshuang… is she also shamelessly…”

Wang Haoran replied, “Of course she is! But Yunshuang is much braver than you!”

With that, Wang Haoran pulled Su Yuning closer. “Let’s do it again?”

With one sentence, Su Yuning’s face flushed instantly.

Blushing heavily, she nodded. “…Okay.”

In the hallway…

Gu Yan sneakily found a corner to settle down and kept a close watch on Wang Haoran and Su Yuning’s room door.

As to why he assumed the role of a nighttime guard again was quite simple.

Despite having confirmed that there was no cause for concern regarding the bathroom incident, the possibility that Wang Haoran had desires for his wife still lingered. What if he couldn’t restrain himself and launched a night assault…

Worried and unable to sleep, Gu Yan thought that with Wang Haoran leaving tomorrow, tonight would be his last chance if harboring any illicit intentions. He reasoned that rather than lying in bed worrying, he might as well take action!

So he decided—

To stand guard the whole night!

The night grew deeper and more silent, boredom creeping in.

Bored out of his mind, Gu Yan kept himself occupied by thinking about all sorts of things while keeping his eyes fixed on the door.
