Wooing my Bodyguard Wife

Chapter 277 Outside Her Room

40 Minutes Before The Knock…

"What the hell? They're breaking up again?!"

Xue Ning's family were seated in front of the TV, watching Night Market Lovers. Tai Cheng stabbed an apple slice with a toothpick, angrily chomping on it as he watched the couple on the screen break up for the umpteenth time under a huge rainstorm, due to misunderstandings generated by the main couple's parents.

"Mom, Dad, can we change the channel? Why are you so invested in this garbage?" Tai Xuan lamented, a hand inching towards the remote control - but his mother swatted his errant hand and hissed at him, as though Tai Xuan suddenly decided to support Mayor Poh's attempts at wooing her.

"This is not garbage, this is quality entertainment. A hallmark of our culture." Yue Niang argued, shooting her son an angry glare. "Youth these days have no taste!"

"How does this show count as having taste?" Tai Xuan whined. "Come on, Ming Guang, support me here."

"I have no opinion," Ming Guang said, as he pretended to be very busy with feeding Wei Yan at the door, as though he was a toddler incapable of holding a spoon. Wei Yan initially was wholly against being spoon fed like an invalid by his superior, but then Mrs Li had pointed a threatening toothpick at him and told him he could either suck it up or eat off the floor like a dog.

So he sucked it up and swallowed his pride along with the food, all while cursing Sun Jingwei! If he didn't interfere, he would be the one sitting cosily in the living room with the rest of the family!

Come to think of it, where was Sun Jingwei? Shouldn't he be done with the dishes by now?

"Where is Sun Jingwei?" Wei Yan demanded petulantly. "I bet he's breaking all your plates in the kitchen. Better go take a look before we're all eating off the floor like dogs!"

"I'll go and check." Xin Yu said, rolling her eyes. She really wanted to swat Wei Yan on his head for his immaturity!

She walked to the kitchen, expecting disaster. Instead what she saw was a pile of perfectly washed dishes, and there was only Xue Ning left in the kitchen, chewing her lip anxiously.

"Hey Meimei, did your boyfriend make you wash the plates alone?" Xin Yu asked, frowning. What a scumbag!

"Of course not," Xue Ning's tone was offended, as though the very thought of Jingwei doing something like that was unthinkable. "He did all the washing, I only dried. Now he's bathing. But can I ask you for help?"

"With?"

Xue Ning took a quick peek outside of the kitchen to make sure that no one (especially her brother) was eavesdropping. She needed absolute privacy for this!

"Sister-in-law, can you help to distract everyone… for like an hour? At least?" Xue Ning asked hopefully, her eyes shining.

"Why?"

"I… IwanttosleepwithJingwei," Xue Ning exhaled, the words escaping from her in a mad rush. Xin Yu blinked, not understanding a single thing.

"Can you repeat that? I didn't hear you properly."

Xue Ning gave her a shifty-eyed look and whispered, "I want to sleep with Jingwei."

"Like… tonight? Right now?" Xin Yu exclaimed, and was hurriedly shushed by Xue Ning. Xue Ning took another quick look; thankfully no one had come running after her.

"Yes! In my room!" She blurted out. "I prepared everything already, but I need to make sure no one misses us!"

"You should have just gone to the motel room since he's already staying there," Xin Yu scolded, even as a smile began to grow on her face. Her sister-in-law was growing up! Finally! From swearing off men, love and sex, to actively bagging all three at once. She was so proud, she nearly wanted to cry.

"But I want to show him my bedroom," Xue Ning protested, her ears turning red. "It's a part of me… I mean -"

"I get it," Xin Yu said, patting her adorable sister-in-law on her cheek. "Aigoo, you have really grown up. Fine, I'll do my best to help you bang your boyfriend."

"Don't put it like that!" Xue Ning squawked, her face now flaming red to join her ears.

"Don't be so shy! Just go for it! You cannot waste time!" Xin Yu instructed. "Just like what I did to your Ge - I pushed him down - "

"Oh my god, please don't tell me," Xue Ning interrupted, recoiling with a look of abject disgust on her face.

Xin Yu laughed. "Fine, fine, but don't be this shy with your boyfriend okay? Better hurry up to your room first now!"

"Thanks Sister-in-law. No matter what my Ge says, you're still my favourite in-law!"

"I'm your only in-law," she pointed out, feeling strangely touched anyway. "Now make sure you have fun with my future brother-in-law!"

Xue Ning nodded, scuttling quickly to her room. Xin Yu hid a laugh and went back to the living room.

She wondered if Xue Ning managed to get protection - of course she would. Her sister-in-law was the smarter of the two siblings. As long as Xue Ning didn't take the condoms from the bathroom, things would be fine. Those expired a long time ago!

"The dishes are fine, Wei Yan. It's so nice of you to care about them." Xin Yu said as she sidled on the couch, next to her husband who was still grumbling about the show.

"Then where is Sun Jingwei now?" Wei Yan asked.

"Showering." Xin Yu said curtly, not wanting to continue talking with him. She turned back to the TV and asked. "So what did I miss?"

"Nothing really, this show is so slow nothing happens!" Tai Xuan grumbled. "Look! She's still crying in the rain!"

"It's emotional!"

As the family continued to bicker over the TV, Xin Yu took note of the time, and kept one eye out for Wei Yan who had just finished eating his dinner. This man was sure to create problems for the couple!

Sure enough, the moment he swallowed his last mouthful, Wei Yan started opening his big mouth.
