Chapter 628 - 652: Embarrassing Incident
Xu Shanshan leaned back languidly in her chair, unable to hide the flush of post-coital radiance. To a married woman, it was obvious that Shanshan had just been intimate with a man. However, Michelle was still an innocent girl and could only tell that Shanshan looked somewhat different at the moment—more beautiful and with a certain womanly charm, yet she was completely clueless about why Shanshan appeared so.
Sipping a glass of red wine, Shanshan said with a smile, "You know what I said, Michelle? I just wanted to see who would come here to mix with my brother-in-law."
Michelle looked at Xu Shanshan skeptically and said, "That doesn’t sound right. Although I didn’t hear what you and Brother Li were saying, I felt that there was something off between the two of you. You were both speaking in such hushed tones. If it was just a normal visit with Brother Li, why did you both talk so quietly?"
Michelle was not as cunning; she was much more innocent and inadvertently revealed her thoughts. Shanshan, feeling assured, said with a triumphant smile, "My relationship with my brother-in-law has always been close. Of course, if I have any mischief in mind, I couldn’t broadcast it. Would I want others to hear? I didn’t know you were in the room, so why would I need to avoid you?"
"So you were... just kidding?" Michelle still felt there was something amiss.
"Of course! Today, Xiaofei was spouting nonsense, and she forced sister to agree to Su Yiyi. My brother-in-law is such a catch, and with so many eyes on him, sister can’t watch him all the time. As his sister-in-law, I can’t stand by and let others bully my sister. After all, she’s my brother-in-law’s rightful wife; if I don’t help her, who will?" Shanshan said, looking genuinely indignant.
At Shanshan’s words, Michelle grew uncomfortable. Her crush on Li Yifei was common knowledge, and although she hadn’t made overt moves, she did sneak into his room that evening. To put it kindly, it was just a chat, but less kindly, a girl visiting a man’s room in the dead of night was bound to arouse suspicion.
"Cough cough... Shanshan, I really just wanted to chat with Brother Li, nothing more," Michelle hastily explained.
