Chapter 1684


Outside.


In the living room.


It was already past seven in the morning.


Fang Shuiling hurriedly ran out from the inner room, with Xie Ran closely following behind, holding her hand to comfort his startled girlfriend as they sat on the chairs.


"I"m afraid of rats," Fang Shuiling breathed out with lingering fear.


"I know, it"s okay now, it"s okay," Xie Ran patted her hand.


"I should put some rat poison under the bed," Fang Shuiling suggested.


Xie Ran agreed, "Yeah, the downside of living in a bungalow is too many rats and pests. If it weren"t for my brother-in-law stopping me, I would"ve killed it right then and there."


Kill it?


Who are you going to kill?


Dong Xuebing could guarantee that if Xie Ran had just lifted the bedsheet and seen what was underneath, the one who would be dead now would be Xie Ran.


Dong Xuebing was the last one to come out of the inner room. Just before closing the door, he glanced in the direction under the bed, then stepped out and securely shut the door. He breathed a sigh of relief; the danger signal had been temporarily lifted, but it still wasn"t safe. With Fang Wenping constantly under the bed, it was like a ticking time bomb. There was a risk of explosion at any moment. The key was to get Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling to leave as soon as possible. If they didn"t leave, Dong Xuebing wouldn"t be able to settle down here.


"What tea would you like?" Dong Xuebing asked.


"No need. Plain water is fine. We poured ourselves some just now," Xie Ran declined politely. Don"t bother, brother-in-law. Oh, we haven"t had breakfast."


"We"ll have some," Fang Shuiling said. "Brother Dong just woke up, he probably hasn"t eaten. I"ll go make some."


As soon as he heard that, Dong Xuebing felt annoyed and immediately stopped her. "No need; I"m not hungry."


Fang Shuiling smiled, "Don"t be polite. I"ll make breakfast quickly."


"I don"t feel hungry. I drank too much yesterday and still feel dizzy now. I don"t want to eat at all," Dong Xuebing paused and added, "I just want to go back to sleep."


That was a clear hint to leave.


Dong Xuebing wished they would leave now.


But Xie Ran pretended not to hear. "Brother-in-law, I know you"re still angry. We had good intentions. We didn"t want you and Aunt Fang to fight. It"s not good; you two are colleagues in the same unit. It"s unnecessary."


Dong Xuebing looked at him. "You"ve seen everything that happened. You all know. Did I want to argue with her? I"ve never cursed at her first. Isn"t it her who always starts picking on me? She"s stepping all over me. I could tolerate her jokes, but I won"t tolerate them anymore. I know what"s going on. You two should go back now. Let me sleep a bit longer."


Xie Ran clicked his tongue. "Brother-in-law."


"Go back, go back," Dong Xuebing waved his hand.


But Xie Ran didn"t leave. "You"re usually so courteous, polite, and respectful. Aunt Fang is just a female comrade. Why are you—"


"I"m polite to different people differently," Dong Xuebing interrupted.


Fang Shuiling also looked at him expectantly. "Brother Dong."


Bringing up old stories, the three of them bickered for quite some time.


Dong Xuebing"s mind was not here at all. He didn"t listen to much of what they said. Half of his attention was still under the bed in the inner room, on edge. After more than ten minutes of talking, seeing that Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling didn"t want to leave until this matter was cleared up, Dong Xuebing was extremely speechless. He tried to drive them away twice, but they still refused to move from their seats.


"Brother-in-law."


"Brother Dong."


The two of them started talking again.


Dong Xuebing was fed up, but he had no choice. He quickly waved his hand before they could speak again, "Alright, alright, I"m afraid of you now. Fine, I"ll do as you say. I won"t argue with Fang Wenping anymore or scold her. Even if she provokes me, I"ll endure it. But I won"t be nice to her. That"s impossible. That"s the most I can do."


Xie Ran laughed, "Brother-in-law is still generous."


Dong Xuebing pointed at him, "Don"t flatter me."


Fang Shuiling also felt momently happy, "I knew Brother Dong is the most reasonable. I"ll talk to my Aunt about it later. By the way, let me call my Aunt again. It"s already this late. Why can"t I reach her on her phone?" After saying this, she dialed again, "Unable to connect."


Xie Ran asked, "Is it out of battery?"


"It"s not a battery issue. It should prompt if it"s turned off. Right now, it says "unable to connect," it seems like there"s no signal," Fang Shuiling said strangely. "But my Aunt"s house usually has a good signal. Oh, I hope nothing has happened, Brother Dong. Did you send my Aunt back to the family compound?"


Dong Xuebing said, "Why don"t you believe me?"


"Why are you saying that, Xiao Ling?" Xie Ran also glared at his girlfriend.


Fang Shuiling stuck out her tongue, "No, no, I"m just worried. Maybe my Aunt went out or to a bar in the middle of the night."


Xie Ran pondered, "If you"re worried, I"ll take you to your Aunt"s family compound."


Fang Shuiling thought briefly, then nodded slightly, "Okay, I"ll make a few more calls on the way."


"Brother-in-law, we"ll leave now, not disturbing your rest anymore," Xie Ran stood up.


Fang Shuiling said, "Sorry, Brother Dong, I said the wrong thing earlier. Thank you for sending my aunt back yesterday."


"It"s nothing. If I didn"t send her, where else could I leave her? I don"t like her, but I won"t abandon her in a KTV," Dong Xuebing snorted. "One thing is one thing."


Fang Shuiling obediently said, "Thank you on behalf of my aunt."


"No need for her thanks," Dong Xuebing huffed. "If she doesn"t appear in front of me less in the future, I"ll be thanking the heavens. Okay, hurry up and go."


"We"re leaving," Xie Ran said. "You go back to sleep."


Dong Xuebing escorted them out of the north room. "I won"t be going out."


"You stay," Fang Shuiling said. "Don"t come out."


After they spoke, Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling disappeared inside the courtyard.


Dong Xuebing said he wouldn"t go out, but after they left, he still followed them up, leaning against the door and listening. After hearing the car driving away, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put the door bolt on the door frame, and locked the door with a click.


In the north room.


Dong Xuebing hurried back, opening the bedroom door.


Inside, it was quiet, with no sound coming from under the bed.


"Everyone"s gone, and the door"s locked," Dong Xuebing said. "Come out."


With a rustle, a hand emerged from under the bed, pus.h.i.+ng aside the sheets and crawling up. Fang Wenping"s eyes glared coldly at Dong Xuebing from the dark, gloomy s.p.a.ce, full of hostility.


Dong Xuebing frowned, "Don"t look at me like that. Can I be blamed for this? Who knows why those two suddenly came over early in the morning."


Fang Wenping said in a deep voice, "I will settle this score with you."


"I haven"t settled the score with you yet, and you"re already coming to me," Dong Xuebing snorted. "Fine, let"s settle it. I"m afraid of you, okay? Hurry up and come out."


Fang Wenping s.h.i.+fted her body, squeezing out.


Dong Xuebing ignored her and went back to drinking water, gulping down two big gla.s.ses. It had taken him a lot of effort to talk earlier, and now he was thirsty.


Thirty seconds pa.s.sed.


One minute pa.s.sed.


Turning around, Dong Xuebing saw that Fang Wenping still hadn"t come out.


Dong Xuebing became extremely impatient, "Are you coming out?"


"I d.a.m.n well need to get out too!" Fang Wenping was also angry, lying on the cold cement floor and staring at Dong Xuebing. She wriggled her body a few times, "Didn"t you see that I"m stuck?" When she was pushed in by Dong Xuebing, her hips and abdomen were already stuck, and it was very difficult for Dong Xuebing to push her in. Now, it"s even harder to get out. "What are you looking at? Come over and help me quickly. Pull me from the outside."


"You be polite, okay?"


"I can"t be polite, hurry up."


"Okay, okay, okay, I"m impressed by you."


Dong Xuebing didn"t bother to argue with her anymore. He slapped his forehead, went up, and squatted by the bed. With a low hand, he tried to pull Fang Wenping"s arm.


Once.


Thrice.


Five times.


It was stuck very tightly.


Still couldn"t get out.


Fang Wenping shouted, "Did you eat yet?"


"Just woke up, what am I supposed to eat? And you"re complaining I"m not strong enough," Dong Xuebing sneered, "and you"re talking about me."


Fang Wenping"s eyes turned cold, "Say that again, punk."


Dong Xuebing remembered what he had just said to Fang Shuiling and the others, so he didn"t argue with her anymore. "Fine, you hold in your stomach, I"ll continue."


"Hurry up," Fang Wenping urged.


"Don"t rush me. It"ll be done soon," Dong Xuebing exerted force.


Amidst the argument, Dong Xuebing finally grabbed Fang Wenping"s exposed thigh, forcibly peeled off her black stockings with one hand, and grabbed her bare waist with the other, pulling back fiercely. He finally pulled Fang Wenping"s lower body out with a snap, leaving him sweating profusely.


Fang Wenping was also covered in sweat. After she struggled to get up from the ground, her embarra.s.sed appearance made Dong Xuebing laugh, but then his eyes went straight again. The reason was simple—Fang Wenping was too dirty now, covered in dirt all over her body, face, and hair. After all, she had been lying under the bed for so long. Moreover, when her leg was rubbing against the bed, her black stockings tore in many places, such as the area above her white panties, where two large holes had appeared, and also on her thighs, where the stockings were torn in several places.


Looks very tempting.


Let"s not mention that appearance.


Dong Xuebing couldn"t help but take a few more glances.


Fang Wenping noticed, and her gaze became colder.


"Ahem." Dong Xuebing felt embarra.s.sed, pretended to s.h.i.+ft his gaze elsewhere, and then found a towel from the cabinet to throw to her.


Fang Wenping took it and draped it over herself. Although it didn"t cover all the exposed areas, it was pa.s.sable. She then sat on the bed, seemingly not embarra.s.sed about revealing so much in front of Dong Xuebing. There was not a trace of embarra.s.sment on her face. Fang Wenping acted maturely, "My clothes, shoes, and bag are all under the bed. Help me get them out."


"Get them yourself."


"My waist hurts, I can"t move."


"Fine, fine, fine."


Dong Xuebing was being kind to the end.
