"Gurgle, gurgle..."
Coal Ball, free of wants and desires, was still somersaulting in the outer room.
Xie Jinhuan neatly tidied up the clothes and bedsheets, opened the window to air the room out, and even brewed a pot of fine tea, lest his elder sister-in-law come upstairs later and spot something she should not.
Before he had finished fussing, however, heavy footsteps sounded outside:
Thud, thud, thud...
Brimming with murderous intent!
?
Sensing trouble, Coal Ball hurriedly hid in the inner room to observe in secret.
Xie Jinhuan set down the teapot and was about to take a look when the door was shoved open.
Whoosh~
Then the black-clad swordswoman entered with her sword in hand and lunged straight at him.
Whoosh~
Xie Jinhuan felt she probably was not impatient to push him down again, but he still spread his arms to catch her:
"Huh?"
Thump!
Nangong Ye pinned Xie Jinhuan straight onto the tea couch, her slender brows bristling:
"When did you meet her? Why didn't you tell me?"
Her tone was like an icy female CEO catching Yellow Hair cheating on her-with her business nemesis, no less...
Xie Jinhuan knew the two women were rivals. It was perfectly normal for Big Ice Lump to burn with rage after getting caught. He explained:
"She said she was your senior sister and told me not to reveal anything, or I'd make an enemy of her..."
"She told you not to tell, so you hid it from me?"
"She's your senior sister. How would I dare offend her? Speaking of which, is she really your senior sister? I tried asking indirectly just now, but you wouldn't say either..."
However unwilling Nangong Ye was to acknowledge that Demoness as her senior sister, she could only grit her teeth and nod now:
"Yes."
