Chapter 489

Mentioning the Lin Family, there was a hint of coldness in Shu Xia's tone, "They indeed want to use me to find you for help, wanting you to help their company get out of its predicament."

The shamelessness of the Lin Family is constantly hitting new lows.

Qiao Muting chuckled with a cold tone, "They have quite some nerve. Given their capabilities, if they hadn't been conducting illegal business in the shadows, they wouldn't have reached their current scale. It's only natural that they are collapsing now."

"It might bring you some trouble, sorry." Shu Xia frowned; thinking of the Lin Family, who were like a stubborn plaster, the hatred in her heart kept churning.

Qiao Muting did not care, "People who want to cause me trouble have been endless since I can remember. In my eyes, the Lin Family can't stir up any waves and doesn't count as trouble."

Shu Xia knew that Qiao Muting was telling the truth, "Thank you."

"You and I are husband and wife; there's no need to say thank you for some things." Qiao Muting looked at Shu Xia with deep eyes.

The sense of irritation that had originally existed in his heart surged up again because of her polite "thank you."

She was overly distant toward him.

Seeing Qiao Muting's suddenly darkened expression, Shu Xia couldn't quite tell if he was feeling annoyed.

Since she couldn't tell, she stopped thinking about it.

With delicious food in front of her, she just needed to enjoy it to her heart's content.

The two of them continued to eat quietly.

After the meal, Shu Xia suddenly thought of something; she had been so busy these past few days that it had slipped her mind.

While Qiao Muting went to wash the dishes, she called Jiang Ye.

"Mom, is Big Brother bringing his girlfriend home in the next couple of days?"

Previously, it was said that she should also go home to see Shu Xuan's girlfriend.

She was very curious about what kind of fairy could make Shu Xuan have a change of heart.

Jiang Ye said with a smile, "I knew you had a lot going on recently and were busy with work, so I didn't call to tell you. Your big brother's girlfriend has also been very busy these past few days, so they pushed the time back. They will come home over the weekend, but I'm telling you in advance."

People are in high spirits when they have happy events; with Shu Xuan's relationship settled, Jiang Ye was already looking forward to when the wedding would be held.

She chatted with Jiang Ye for a while longer before ending the call.

It seems everyone is very busy lately.

Seeing the sister-in-law is not something that needs to be rushed.

She trusted Shu Xuan's taste; the girl who could make Shu Xuan like her must be very outstanding.

Just as she put down her phone, Qiao Muting walked out of the bathroom; he was used to only wrapping a bath towel around himself in front of Shu Xia.

But Shu Xia was not used to it; one look was enough to make her face flush and her heart race.

His physique was truly alluring.

Seeing this, Qiao Muting curled his thin lips, "It's not like you haven't seen me with nothing on, why are you still shy?"

They did it almost every night, and she was so familiar with his body, yet she still didn't seem to be able to adapt.

Shu Xia didn't understand how a person could be so different in public and in private; who could tell that Qiao Muting, in private, could make one's heart race just by speaking?

Too blunt!

"You don't understand this; it's human nature. If you were wearing nothing, I would definitely stare at you without blinking," Shu Xia retorted, refusing to be outdone.

What she feared was this half-covered, half-exposed state that stirred up fantasies.

Qiao Muting chuckled, "How do you want to stare?"

Shu Xia even forgot to swallow her saliva, watching helplessly as he pulled the bath towel from his waist.

Then, every part of his body was clearly revealed without any covering.

Shu Xia's gaze uncontrollably shifted downward.

"Are you satisfied with what you see? Shu Xia, you are very good at seducing people, making me have the urge to sleep with you," Qiao Muting said again.

Shu Xia hurriedly averted her gaze, "When did I seduce you? Don't talk nonsense."

The experience of last night was still fresh in her memory; she wanted to rest today!
