“I think Li Zhuangsheng is right. You are a guest, and it’s not appropriate for you to squeeze in with me. Besides, even if I really let you sleep with me, someone wouldn’t feel at ease.” Li Xiuyu said meaningfully, a smile playing on his lips. “I’ll clean up my room and give it to you. I’ll stay in Li Zhuangsheng’s room.”

Li Zhuangsheng and Qin Luanyu were both taken aback.

"You want to stay in my room?" Li Zhuangsheng asked with a slight look of disdain. "You know my study is small..."

"It's okay, we can still sleep if we squeeze in," Li Xiuyu said nonchalantly. "Or you can just sleep on the floor."

"Why should I sleep on the floor?!"

"Don't you like sleeping on the floor?"

Li Zhuangsheng was immediately furious. Was he rubbing salt in the wound again? He wished he could fight Li Xiuyu right there and then!
"Ahem, this is too much trouble for you. If you don't mind, I'll stay with Sister Xiuyu."

Qin Luanyu chimed in.

She thought to herself that the relationship between the two siblings seemed a bit too close... but as an only child, she thought that perhaps this was normal.

“Well then, I’ll give you my room and I’ll sleep in Li Zhuangsheng’s room.” Li Xiuyu looked at Li Zhuangsheng and grinned. “You can go and stay with Mengke. Although Xuanxuan might be a little noisy at night, you’re as quiet as a dead pig once you’re asleep, so a little noise won’t matter.”

"This...it seems to be the best solution!"

Li Zhuangsheng pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Hu Mengke's room was the secondary bedroom, with an ensuite bathroom, and not much smaller than the master bedroom. Given his current relationship with Hu Mengke, he didn't need to worry too much about it.

"Alright, it's decided then!" Li Xiuyu clapped his hands with a smile, settling the matter. "Let's go, Li Zhuangsheng, come with me to change the sheets!"

Qin Luanyu finally realized that Hu Mengke must be Li Zhuangsheng's girlfriend, and Li Xiuyu's idea was to let Li Zhuangsheng live with his girlfriend.

This is a very reasonable allocation proposal, but the question is, should Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengke live together...?

Qin Luanyu felt very uncomfortable. She looked at Li Xiuyu, but his face showed no unusual expression.

"Oh, haven't you told them about your situation yet?" Seemingly noticing Qin Luanyu's gaze, Li Xiuyu tilted her head and looked at Li Zhuangsheng with a hint of reproach.

"I already said that……"

"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing." Li Xiuyu pointed at Li Zhuangsheng and smiled. "Him? He just divorced his wife and immediately started hooking up with his sister-in-law. They're dating now."

"Yes... I know." Qin Luanyu nodded with a smile. "He already told me!"

"Did I tell you? That's good." Li Xiuyu grabbed Qin Luanyu's arm. "Come on, I'll take you to your room!"

If he can accept this, then this guy is really something else.

The three entered the room. Li Xiuyu wanted to take out new sheets and duvet covers for Qin Luanyu to change into, but Qin Luanyu said she didn't need them. However, Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu insisted.

“Although there’s not much to do around here, it’s relatively close to Nanjing, less than a two-hour drive. You can go to Nanjing when you have some free time,” Li Xiuyu said casually while making the bed.

“I plan to take her to the First Mountain tomorrow,” Li Zhuangsheng said. “Why don’t you get up too?”

"As for me..." Li Xiuyu glanced at Qin Luanyu, "We'll talk about it later."

Qin Luanyu smiled: "I think your place is quite nice. It's the ancient capital of Chu, a place blessed with natural beauty and talent, which is why it can produce such a great beauty as Sister Xiuyu!"

"She's not pretty at all, she looks like a man!" Li Zhuangsheng complained.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyu simply said, "As expected of someone from a big city, their manner of speaking and acting is quite different. Unlike some people, who are ignorant from small places and can't say anything nice."

“Aren’t you from a small town too!” Li Zhuangsheng retorted loudly.

"At least I'm better looking than you, so I'm the school heartthrob, and you can only be the school heartthrob's brother." "You...don't you know you shouldn't insult someone by pointing out their weaknesses?!"

"What's the point if you don't expose my shortcomings and start criticizing me? I know you're in a hurry, but hold on. Are you too embarrassed to admit your dark past in front of a pretty girl?"

Qin Luanyu laughed. The siblings' bickering was indeed very interesting, although she was a little jealous.

But it doesn't matter, they are siblings after all, and Qin Luanyu wouldn't be greedy enough to think that love can completely replace kinship.

The three were chatting and laughing in the bedroom when they heard the door close.

They walked out of the room, and Hu Mengke and Xie Jiangqing had already returned.

“Brother-in-law…” Hu Mengke smiled sweetly and stepped forward to hug Li Zhuangsheng.

"You're back!" Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the large bags Xie Jiangqing was carrying. "Why did you buy so many groceries when there's only one guest?"

"It's alright, it's rare to have guests, I'll cook some extra delicious food!"

Hu Mengke gently kissed Li Zhuangsheng on the cheek, and only after releasing him did she seem to notice Qin Luanyu.

"Ah, hello, hello! You must be Village Chief Chu. You're so handsome!"

Her gaze swept over the other person from top to bottom. The other person had an extremely rare and pretty face, and those long, exquisite legs were even more stunning under the black stockings.

"Hello, my name is Qin Luanyu... You must be my sister-in-law? You are indeed young and beautiful!"

Qin Luanyu smiled.

Hu Mengke's expression changed slightly, and she avoided eye contact with some embarrassment.

She was Li Zhuangsheng's sister-in-law... Even though she had the title of girlfriend, she was really just a shameless woman who seduced her brother-in-law.

Qin Luanyu's address of "sister-in-law" made her feel embarrassed and ashamed. After all, she could hear the teasing and mocking tone in the other person's voice.

She had intended to give the other party a hard time, but in the first round, she ended up suffering a hidden loss.

"Haha... Absolutely, Meng Ke is a super beautiful woman!"

Li Zhuangsheng patted Hu Mengke's arm with a smile. He was unaware of the rivalry between the two women. Although he felt a little awkward calling her "sister-in-law," he figured Qin Luanyu probably didn't mean it.

"Alright, brother-in-law...you sit with the guests first." Hu Mengke bit her lip and said softly, "I'll go to the kitchen to cook."

"let me help you!"

"No need, no need, Sister Jiang Qing can help me. Having too many people in the kitchen will only get in the way."

Li Zhuangsheng then stopped insisting.

……

"See? I told you, this woman didn't come with good intentions!" In the kitchen, Xie Jiangqing absentmindedly picked vegetables.

"Who exactly is this woman? How did she and my brother-in-law meet?" Hu Mengke bit her lip, looking worried.

"It seems she's one of his readers... Isn't Li Zhuangsheng a writer? Maybe she's just a little fangirl or something." Xie Jiangqing clicked her tongue. "Such a young age, not studying properly, skipping school to chase after celebrities at home. I never saw anything so charming about Li Zhuangsheng. Maybe she's been fooled by his sweet talk. Humph, Li Zhuangsheng just loves to lie!" (End of Chapter)
