Chapter Eighty-Nine: Time to Change Shifts—Let Me Take Over!

“Ah, I’m so full. This is absolutely the most delicious meal I’ve ever had in my nineteen years of life! I’m so stuffed I can hardly even walk!” Cen An’an said lazily from the sofa, one hand on her belly, wearing a deeply satisfied look.

“And whose fault is it that you ate so much so fast? It’s not like anyone was fighting you for it,” Qin Mengxue said, also lying beside her.

At that moment, Xue Tianai was washing the dishes in the kitchen, and his heart was filled with utter frustration. Ever since returning to the homeland, he had completely taken on the image of a househusband.

Not only did he have to cook, he even had to wash the dishes. If members of Butterfly, or any other assassins or mercenaries, were to learn that the legendary God of Assassins, Phantom Butterfly, had fallen to the level of a cooking househusband… who knew whether their jaws would hit the floor.

Ah, the life of Xue was truly hard! Xue’s life was so difficult! Xue Tianai could not help but think back to his days in Europe. There, Sannomiya Yanyue cooked for him, handled the housekeeping for him, and even when he bathed, Sannomiya Yanyue sometimes came in to scrub his back and the like… Yet after returning to the homeland, his status had plummeted.

Still, perhaps this counted as an ordinary, simple life. Such quiet, peaceful days were not bad after all. There was less tension, life moved at a gentler pace, and in that way it could be called happiness… Xue Tianai comforted himself with that thought, though his hands never once stopped scrubbing the dishes.

“Sis, how did you ever capture the heart of a man like my brother-in-law? He’s handsome, he cooks so well, and he’s so gentle too,” Cen An’an asked playfully with a smile.

During dinner, Cen An’an had also taken a careful look at Xue Tianai. She had to admit that this brother-in-law of hers was truly, outrageously handsome. The so-called school heartthrobs from her own former school would have been utterly crushed in an instant before him.

“Uh… how did you figure I captured his heart?” Qin Mengxue asked, not quite knowing how to answer. A faint trace of confusion even flickered through her eyes.

Although the two of them had indeed been married for three years, they had only really known and interacted with each other for one week. Did Xue Tianai really like her?

If this had been a week earlier, she would never have bothered to think about such a question. But now, as her contact with Xue Tianai deepened, she had gradually begun to develop feelings for him as well. So whether or not Xue Tianai liked her had also started to matter a great deal to her.

“Wow, sis! Don’t you feel it? The way brother-in-law looks at you is so gentle. That gaze could practically melt an iceberg!” Cen An’an said, rolling her eyes.

Was that so? Qin Mengxue widened her eyes in surprise. The way she felt it, Xue Tianai only ever looked at her with lecherous eyes. Was there really any tenderness in that gaze, as An’an said?

But on further thought, Xue Tianai really was quite gentle. He got up early in the morning to make her warm, stomach-soothing breakfast. After dinner at night, he would clean up the bowls and chopsticks. At critical moments, he would step forward to protect her. Whenever she refused to let him touch her, he never did anything excessive, aside from often teasing her.

And Xue Tianai was so handsome, his figure was superb, and his cooking was flawless. Aside from being a little sharp-tongued, a little lustful, and a little careless, he was actually a pretty good person.

Ah! Had she perhaps already started to fall? That would not do! Qin Mengxue quickly pulled her thoughts back and said, “Not nearly as nice as you make him sound. If you ask me, he’s just a big lecher!”

“I don’t think brother-in-law is lecherous at all. The first time I met him, I was only wearing my underwear, and he didn’t take advantage of me at all. He even draped his jacket over me. If he were a lecher, he would have had no reason to put his coat on me in the first place!”

“Is that so?” Qin Mengxue still did not believe Xue Tianai was not a lecher, but at that moment she noticed another problem.

“Wait… hey? Why were you only wearing underwear at home? Even if your brother-in-law hadn’t been there, a girl can’t just wander around the house in her underwear!”

“I was only trying on your underwear, sis, and then I heard the door open. I thought it was you coming back, but I never expected your brother-in-law to come home first,” Cen An’an said, shaking her little head.

Then, with a wicked grin, she lowered her voice and said, “Sis, you’ve actually bought so many sexy undergarments now, even a little chest wrap. Are those for spicing things up with brother-in-law?”

“You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?” Qin Mengxue’s face naturally flushed bright red after hearing that, and she scolded her shyly. Those sexy undergarments and the chest wrap had not been bought by her at all, but by that bastard Xue Tianai!

“Hehe, sis, no wonder your bust has gotten bigger. So that’s what’s going on, huh!” Cen An’an said as if she had not heard the scolding, stroking her chin with an expression of complete understanding.

“Oh? Is that so? How come I haven’t noticed?” Qin Mengxue was taken aback by her words.

“Sis, haven’t you heard that when a woman is nourished by love, she becomes radiant all over, and even her body goes through a second development? Looks like those sexy chest wraps and undergarments were not bought in vain. Looking at the size of your chest, did you and brother-in-law perhaps do plenty of… that sort of thing?”

Just then, Xue Tianai had finished in the kitchen and stepped out, only to hear that very line. He was immediately stunned. His little sister-in-law was young, yes, but she was far too bold. How could she say something like that without even blinking?

Still, at that moment, Xue Tianai felt even more frustrated. He and Qin Mengxue were, after all, a married couple of three years. Let alone doing that, they had not even so much as kissed.

If his fierce little sister-in-law could lead Qin Mengxue a little in that direction, that would not be bad at all. Hehe. Then the blissful days of his future would be just around the corner.

Xue Tianai thought wickedly to himself, then sidestepped out of view, making sure the two women could not see him. He decided to watch and wait a little longer, and let his sister-in-law continue her performance, to properly guide Qin Mengxue.

Qin Mengxue was not foolish, nor was she a blank sheet of paper. Naturally, she understood the implication in Cen An’an’s words, and her face grew even redder as she said, a little embarrassed and indignant, “An’an, how can you spend all day thinking about such shameful things? You’re still so young! If you ask me again, believe it or not, I’ll spank you!”

“Hehe, sis, don’t be shy. You two are married now, after all. Doing that sort of thing is perfectly normal,” Cen An’an said mischievously. “Come on, sis, tell me secretly—how many times have you two done it?”

“You… An’an, aren’t you ashamed? How can you even ask that? You’re asking for a beating!” Qin Mengxue lunged straight at her and began to punish Cen An’an.

But Cen An’an had no intention of letting herself be slaughtered. She dodged Qin Mengxue’s attack with ease, then pounced back at her.

And then…

“Ah, An’an, what are you doing? Where are your hands going? You, you, you! Don’t grab my clothes!” Qin Mengxue cried out with a hint of allure in her voice.

“I told you, sis, you really have gotten bigger! No, I have to pull them apart and take a proper look. Just how much can a woman’s figure change after going through that kind of thing?” Cen An’an’s giggles followed.

“An’an, you little brat, what nonsense are you talking? Just wait till I properly deal with you! You, you, you, move aside first!”

“What are you saying, sis? If I move aside, you’ll be able to hit me, won’t you? That won’t do! With such a great figure, you can’t show it only to brother-in-law. I want to see it too!”

“Get lost! Hey, hey, hey, don’t take off my clothes!… Ah… An’an, you’re a total little vixen!”

“Tsk tsk, sis, your skin has gotten so fair and smooth now…”

“……”

Enough is enough! There was no need to endure any longer! Xue Tianai felt that the time had come for him to make his entrance, so he sprang out from where he had been hiding and roared, “An’an, let go of your sister now!”

His sudden shout made both women stop what they were doing and look over at him.

Cen An’an’s thought was: oh no, I got caught bullying my sister by brother-in-law. Will he be unhappy? Then he won’t give me pocket money, and he won’t protect me… That would be a huge loss!

Qin Mengxue’s thought was: Xue Tianai really is gentle. At a time like this, he actually rushed over so anxiously. He must be very worried about me, trying to save me from Cen An’an’s clutches!

“Let go of your sister. It’s time to switch shifts—now it’s my turn!” Xue Tianai added, green light practically shining in his eyes.

Cen An’an’s expression instantly brightened…

Qin Mengxue’s face darkened at once…
