Сhаpter 7: Тhе Snеаkу Little Cutie
Аftеr Su Manjing hаd been whimреring аnd сrуing fоr quite а whilе, аmbiguоus panting sоunds began to cоmе from insidе thе саr. Dаmn, theу wеrе actuаllу doing it right thеre in the cаr—how wild!
“Вrother Mubаi, mmm…”
“Jingjing, yоu’re sо bеautiful.”
Thе suggestive sounds kерt соming from the рhоnе—wаsn’t this the evidеncе she neеded? She аbsolutelу had to get hеr hаnds оn that dаshсam.
Su Nuannuan glаncеd аt the routе on her рhonе, quiсklу chаnged her сlothes, аnd sliррed out through the back door. Gоing оut on her own felt likе bеing a thief—it was just tоо difficult.
All thanks to Second Brother! She had to make this quick. Today, her father and mother had gone to a friend’s dinner party and probably wouldn’t be back for a while.
Wearing a baseball cap, Su Nuannuan took a taxi to the location of their date. They had probably gone to the hotel by now, which was the perfect opportunity to retrieve the dashcam.
When Su Manjing left the house earlier, she had secretly slipped a camera into Su Manjing’s bag. She needed to find a way to get it back too. If it was discovered, it would definitely alert them.
Shenghao Hotel
Su Nuannuan frowned. The security at this hotel was too tight. Getting in to retrieve the check-in records wouldn’t be easy.
She looked at the front desk—there were at least five or six staff members there. She couldn’t force her way in, and bribing them definitely wouldn’t work either. Damn, off to a bad start! It seemed she’d have to think of another way.
She probably wouldn’t be able to get their room number. Better to check the car first and retrieve the camera she had planted. Then she could figure out a way to get the dashcam.
“Hey, Third Brother, isn’t that the girl you’ve been thinking about?” Gu Jinghuai pointed at the sneaky little figure in the distance.
Li Beixiao, who had been listless, suddenly looked up and indeed saw Su Nuannuan’s furtive figure. Was she feeling better already? What was she doing here?
“Second Brother, you’ve had too much to drink,” Bo Yunshen glared at Gu Jinghuai. Couldn’t he just keep quiet? All the brothers knew that Third Brother liked her, but the girl didn’t feel the same way—unrequited love.
Bo Yunshen didn’t like this girl at all. Looking at her sneaky figure, and considering they were right across from a hotel, what else could she be doing coming out of there?
He really didn’t understand—with so many girls in the world, why did Third Brother only like this one?
“Cough, my bad. I’ll punish myself with a drink,” Gu Jinghuai sighed.
“Third Brother, I know you like her, but she’s already engaged and about to get married. There are so many girls in the world—why not just find someone else?” Bo Yunshen advised, looking at Li Beixiao’s gloomy expression.
“That’s right, Third Brother. There are plenty of women out there. Want me to introduce you to someone? My place has nothing if not plenty of girls,” He Xuan patted Li Beixiao’s shoulder, giving him a suggestive look.
Li Beixiao gave He Xuan a cold glance. He Xuan shrugged—their Third Brother was just too icy.
“Third Brother, if you keep living like a monk, aren’t you afraid you’ll suffer from it?” He Xuan shook his head.
“Talking about Third Brother, Fourth Brother, aren’t you afraid of kidney deficiency living like this?” Lu Chen took a gulp of his drink and said irritably.”No, Old Five, I know you’re heartbroken, but you can’t talk about your fourth brother like that! Isn’t that cursing me? With my physique, I could go five times a night without any problem, right? Sweetheart.”
He Xuan lifted the chin of the new girl he had just found. After seeing so many women, it really did become rather dull.
“Yes, Young Master He is the best.”
He Xuan curled the corner of his mouth and pushed the girl off him. “I’m not in the mood today. Get lost.”
“Young Master He, what did I do wrong?” the girl asked in panic.
“I don’t like repeating myself,” He Xuan said coldly.
Seeing there was no other way, the girl reluctantly left, though clearly unwilling.
Li Beixiao stared intently at Su Nuannuan’s retreating figure. Why was she dressed like that? What was she doing in the parking lot?
He guessed the worst possible outcome, but he still couldn’t help wanting to get closer to her. He shouldn’t disturb her.
“Third Brother, if you really like her, just go after her. She’s not married yet, is she?” Gu Jinghuai couldn’t stand seeing him like this.
Li Beixiao’s eyes darkened. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about it. He had even considered taking her back by force, locking her away, but he was afraid she would cry. She didn’t want to see him. Every time they were together, it was unpleasant. She was afraid of him.
“Second Brother, stop giving bad advice,” Bo Yunshen said with a twitch of his lips. It wasn’t like there weren’t other girls around. What was this? Picking up someone else’s leftovers? Or being desperate?
This decision was too foolish. Bo Yunshen disliked it more and more. This Su Nuannuan really wasn’t suitable for Third Brother.
“Hey, Third Brother, where are you going?”
Li Beixiao wanted to control himself, but watching Su Nuannuan’s disappearing figure, he couldn’t help but step forward. Gu Jinghuai shrugged. If it were up to him, he’d just snatch her away.
Su Nuannuan wandered around the parking lot, looking at the navigation routes above. There were too many surveillance cameras here; it was impossible to avoid them all.
Su Nuannuan glanced at her watch. Time was running out. If she didn’t hurry, Qi Mubai and the others would come down soon.
Never mind, she’d just go for it. Su Nuannuan pulled her hat down low and quickly found Su Manjing’s car.
Carefully, she removed the camera from the car. She had previously looked up methods for opening car windows, but unfortunately, none of them worked.
It seemed she would have to think of another way. Suddenly, an idea occurred to Su Nuannuan: why not just smash the window? But that would make too much noise.
Li Beixiao watched Su Nuannuan circling the car. How adorable. What was she doing? Had she forgotten her car keys?
Su Nuannuan looked at the fire extinguisher nearby. So what if it made a lot of noise? Once she got what was inside, wouldn’t she have the means to deal with them?
Su Nuannuan rolled up her sleeves and was about to smash the car when she suddenly heard Su Manjing’s sickly sweet voice.
“Brother Mubai, I’ll definitely persuade my sister to get married soon.”
Su Nuannuan hid in a corner, staring wide-eyed at Li Beixiao. Why was Li Beixiao here? What a coincidence.
Su Manjing and Qi Mubai’s voices gradually faded away, and Su Nuannuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
With the tense atmosphere gone, her rationality slowly returned. Looking at Li Beixiao, whom she had pinned against the wall, Su Nuannuan twitched the corner of her mouth. Su Nuannuan, you really are bold!
This was the first time she had encountered him since her rebirth, and on their first meeting, she had him pinned against the wall. Wouldn’t it be a waste of the atmosphere if she didn’t do something?
“What a coincidence, President Li.”Su Nuannuan’s mind raced with many thoughts, but in the end, she still didn’t have the courage. She was afraid Li Beixiao would tear her apart.
Just thinking about how, in her previous life, this guy had actually kissed her corpse and even married her in a ghost wedding made her feel extremely uneasy.
Could this guy have some kind of special fetish? When she was alive and well, he didn’t pursue her, but after she died, he married a corpse—the thought alone was terrifying.
