The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 202 - 98: Night Rendezvous at Xiao Chendong’s House
After eating and drinking their fill, Wen Ran and Bao Wenxuan said goodbye and left.
Mrs. Zhang followed them to the street corner, hesitating to speak.
Wen Ran held back a laugh, "Auntie, don’t worry, we won’t go around spreading what happened today."
Bao Wenxuan nodded along, "Yes."
Mrs. Zhang let out a sigh of relief, "That’s good, that’s good."
She gave an awkward smile, "Sorry, for letting you guys watch this spectacle tonight."
"It’s no big deal," Wen Ran gave Mrs. Zhang a thumbs up, "Your son-in-law is like this."
However, thinking that this couple would get married in a few days.
Wen Ran thoughtfully reminded, "On the day he marries Honghong, maybe he shouldn’t drink? Losing face in front of family is one thing, but if word gets out..."
At this, Mrs. Zhang broke out in a cold sweat, "Okay, thank you, Wen Ran, we’ll keep that in mind."
"Alright, I’m off, Auntie~"
The moon was crescent, Bao Wenxuan held Wen Ran’s arm, bouncing along the road, "Haha, Ranran, I think our current days are pretty good indeed."
"Yes, they are."
Thinking of Xiao Chenye and the others, Wen Ran’s eyes were filled with tenderness.
Going to the countryside was definitely a great gain.
They went their separate ways home.
When Wen Ran got home, Hongguo was studying, and seeing Wen Ran return, she quickly ran over to pour her some hot water, chattering away, "Sis, it’s better to wear an extra layer when you go out at night.
Even though it’s spring now, nights are still chilly."
"Yeah."
As Wen Ran soaked her feet, Hongguo stayed nearby, tilting her head to talk to her, "Sis, what’s really going on with Sister Xingxing?"
"What do you mean?"
Hongguo furrowed her brow, "Sister Xingxing said you guys asked for half a month off for her."
Regarding Xiao Chendong, Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran hadn’t planned to tell the children yet, so she calmly deflected, "She took leave to help out at home, don’t you see? Building a big brick house would take at least half a month."
Hongguo: "..."
She protested, "Sis! I’m not a child. With a house to build, Uncle and Aunt would just provide meals, there’s nothing much to help with.
Besides, Uncle and Aunt value education, so how could they let Sister Xingxing skip school to help?
It’s backward thinking, isn’t it?"
Wen Ran: "..."
Listening to Hongguo’s words, Wen Ran was a bit taken aback.
She chuckled, raised her hand to rub Hongguo’s head, "This little girl, you’re getting smarter and smarter.
Hmm? We can’t hide anything from you!"
Hongguo complained, "If you’re lying, at least put some effort into it, okay?"
Wen Ran thought about it; actually, it’s not bad if Hongguo knows. She can keep an eye on Xiao Chenxing, and if something’s off, she can inform us in time.
"Can’t really elaborate too much; just know Xiao Chendong’s got bad intentions."
Hongguo furrowed her brow, "They’re still born of the same parents, so what’s going on? If he doesn’t want to be close with family, that’s fine.
Can’t they coexist peacefully?"
"Some people are like that; they only remember their family when there’s something to gain."
"Hmm."
Seeing Hongguo nod obediently, Wen Ran advised, "After class, go find Star to play, keep an eye on her, and alert us if anything’s wrong."
"Okay, I got it."
The sisters soon went to sleep.
In the middle of the night.
Under the dark moon and high winds.
A small stone hit the ground.
Lying on the bed, Wen Ran opened her eyes and looked at Hongguo beside her, then quietly got up, put on some clothes, and sneaked out.
To avoid the loud sound of opening doors, Wen Ran climbed over the wall to get out.
Outside, watching this, Xiao Chenye: "..."
He took a deep breath, "You do this even at your own house?"
Wen Ran was puzzled, "What’s wrong with that?"
"That way when I leave, Hongguo won’t be locked in the house, you don’t understand," Wen Ran settled on the back of the bicycle, urging, "Stop dilly-dallying, let’s hurry up."
"Okay, okay."
Xiao Chenye pedaled hard, and the bike quickly sped off.
Chatting and laughing along the way, time passed swiftly.
At the canning factory’s dormitory, they parked the bike and went behind the building, not yet having time to pick up a stone to throw at the window.
Then they saw a room on the second floor suddenly light up with a pale yellow glow.
Wen Ran leaned forward to look, Xiao Chenye immediately covered her mouth and led her a step back, the two pressed close together, huddled in the corner.
They were very close.
Their breaths mingled, they could even hear each other’s heartbeat.
The insects chirped softly, Xiao Chenye’s breath on Wen Ran’s neck raised goosebumps.
She shrank her head.
Xiao Chenye gritted his teeth and swallowed, "Don’t move."
"Mmm mmm mmm~"
Wen Ran felt aggrieved, wasn’t that a false accusation?
When did she move?
In the night, even the slightest sound is magnified, Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran soon heard the sound of windows opening, followed by rustling noises.
And then...
Panting sounds.
In the dark, they exchanged a glance, Wen Ran removed Xiao Chenye’s hand cautiously to peek out.
She was startled.
Xiao Chendong, that lunatic, was climbing rocks instead of sleeping.
Xiao Chenye also saw, feeling a mix of heaviness and sigh.
He thought of the last time...
Li Chenggang was also sneaking away in the middle of the night, getting caught red-handed.
Not only was he cheating, but also plotting murder.
So this time...
Xiao Chendong quickly descended with the rope, looking around cautiously, found no movement, and stealthily rode off on his bike.
Xiao Chenye wanted to follow but was stopped by Wen Ran, "Even if not familiar, he’s still born of the same parents; if he finds you, then what?"
"Well..."
"I’ll go," Wen Ran’s face was full of excitement, "I’m not his sibling, even if I run into him at night, he wouldn’t see my face.
Even if he did see, he wouldn’t recognize me."
They hadn’t met more than three times and were quite unfamiliar.
"Okay," Xiao Chenye instructed, "I’ll follow behind you, be careful."
"Relax!"
Wen Ran hopped on the bike and rode off.
Xiao Chendong’s destination was clear; riding for ten minutes he arrived at a small decrepit house.
"Oh! You finally decided to come."
The one who opened the door wasn’t a charming young lady, but a burly man smoking a cigarette.
