After being bought by seven rough men and taken to the deep mountains, I was pampered.

Although Yunding Apartments has only been open for sale for one day, the reputation of "Langya Village being a money pit" has already spread throughout the county like wildfire.

People wanting to sneak into this "first mansion" to see something special are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

But they were all stuck at the gate.

Because there stands an iron tower there.

Qin Meng is the third son of the Qin family.

Normally, this simpleton would complain that even a short vest is too tight, but today, Su Wan specially ordered a black security guard uniform for him to make a good impression.

But this outfit... is just too sexy!

The high-thread-count cotton fabric, which should have been crisp and sturdy, was stretched taut by his granite-like muscles. The two buttons on his chest, in particular, seemed constantly on the verge of popping off, tightening and loosening with each breath, a sight that sent shivers down one's spine. His sleeves were roughly rolled up to his elbows, revealing bulging veins on his forearms, covered with a thin layer of sweat that gleamed wildly in the winter sun.

He held a "security check stick" specially made by Su Wan (which was actually just a smooth hardwood stick) in his hand, and when he stuck it at the door, he looked like a door god reincarnated.

"Get out of the way! I have money! I need to go inside and find my cousin who works as a nanny there!"

A fat, wealthy merchant tried to force his way in, waving silver notes in his hand and attempting to stuff them into Qin Meng's arms.

Qin Meng didn't even lift his eyelids; his large, bell-like eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if the person in front of him was just a wisp of air.

"My sister-in-law said that without a card, not even the King of Heaven can let you in."

The wealthy businessman grew anxious and reached out to shove Qin Meng, yelling, "You door-guard dog..."

"Snap." Qin Meng moved.

No one even saw how he made his move.

With his large, fan-like hand, he grabbed the businessman by the back of the neck, lifting the 200-pound fat man into the air like a plucked chick!

The wealthy businessman kicked his legs wildly in the air, his face turning a deep purplish-red.

A hint of disdain appeared on Qin Meng's honest face. With a flick of his wrist, the wealthy businessman was sent flying through the air in a graceful arc, landing directly in a snowdrift two meters away.

"I'm the security captain, not a dog."

Qin Meng clapped his hands and added in a deep voice, "Also, my sister-in-law made these clothes for me. Don't touch them with your dirty hands. If you damage them, you won't be able to pay for them even if you sell yourself."

The crowd that had been trying to take advantage of the situation fell silent instantly.

This isn't a security guard; it's a human-shaped catapult!

Just then, a faint aroma of rice mixed with the sweet scent of plum blossoms wafted out from the inner courtyard.

Qin Meng's originally fierce eyes lit up instantly, and his nose twitched twice, which was the puppy's reaction to smelling the bone.

"Third Brother."

A soft, gentle call, like a spring breeze and a gentle rain, instantly shattered Qin Meng's murderous aura.

Su Wan walked over gracefully, carrying an exquisite red lacquered food box. She had changed out of her formal gown for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and was now wearing a simple, plain-colored jacket and skirt, which made her waist appear even more slender and delicate.

"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law!"

Qin Meng immediately stood up straight, in a standard military posture (although his clothes were about to burst), his fierce expression instantly turning into a blush of embarrassment, and he didn't know where to put the stick in his hand.

"Why are you here at this hour? It's cold outside, and I... I'm not hungry."

But my stomach honestly let out a loud "grumble".

Su Wan covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "It's already noon. Even if you're made of iron, your stomach isn't. I made braised pork and brought it over especially for you."

As she spoke, she started to walk inside.

Qin Meng subconsciously stepped aside to make way, but then remembered something, and his dark red face instantly contorted into a bitter expression.

"Sister-in-law... um..." he stammered, his eyes darting away.

"What's wrong?" Su Wan stopped and tilted her head to look at him.

Qin Meng scratched his head, his voice barely audible, "That... Fourth Brother set the rule. He said... no matter who it is, everyone has to go through security checks. He said he's afraid... afraid someone might smuggle something and harm my sister-in-law."

Su Wan was taken aback, then a sly smile flashed in her eyes.

The fourth sister, that sly fox, certainly didn't expect to apply the rules to her when they were setting them.

But seeing the third brother's honest yet conflicted expression, she suddenly felt like teasing him.

"Since it's a rule, it can't be broken."

Su Wan opened her arms generously, and the wide sleeves slipped down, revealing a section of her fair wrist, which shone brightly against the black uniform.

"Come on, Captain Qin, let's check."

Qin Meng's computer crashed instantly.

His Adam's apple bobbed violently, making a "gulp" sound.

an examination?

Inspecting my sister-in-law?

Looking at the delicate, soft body before him, Qin Meng felt the wooden stick in his hand weigh an ounce. This was his sister-in-law! A goddess he wouldn't even dare to trespass on, not even in his wildest dreams!

"Then... then I'll begin..."

Qin Meng shakily raised the wooden stick.

He stood a good half-foot away, waving the stick around Su Wan.

The wooden stick shook like a sieve.

His gaze swept from his shoulder to his waist, but he dared not look at Su Wan at all, and could only stare at the snow on the ground.

Even so, the lingering fragrance around his nose was like a hook, making him feel hot all over, and his tight uniform was soaked with sweat.

"Third brother, your examination was far too perfunctory."

Su Wan suddenly took a step forward.

This step directly crossed into Qin Meng's defensive perimeter.

The distance between them instantly closed to within a fist's width. Qin Meng could even feel Su Wan's hot breath spraying onto the buttons on his chest.

The difference in body shape was brought to its extreme at this moment.

Qin Meng loomed over her like a mountain, while she wandered into a wolf's den like a little white rabbit.

"Third Brother, I really did have something hidden on me, didn't you find it?"

Su Wan tilted her head back, her watery eyes staring at him innocently yet alluringly.

Qin Meng froze, his body stiff as a stone, his breathing heavy like a bellows, his voice hoarse beyond belief: "Hidden...hidden what? A knife? Or poison?"

boom--!

Qin Meng felt like something had exploded in his head.

[Beep! Target Qin Meng's heart rate detected +200 (off the charts)! Reward: Space Ranch Cow +2 (This guy desperately needs to cool down)!]

The security check stick in his hand cracked with a "snap" from the unconscious grip he was applying.

He looked at Su Wan, who was so close to him, at those rosy lips, and only one thought crossed his mind:

This isn't his sister-in-law, this is a vixen who's going to kill him!

He wanted to back away, but he couldn't bear to part with the warm, soft body so close to him; he wanted to reach out and hug her, but he was afraid that his brute strength would hurt her.

That extreme restraint and desire intertwined in his eyes, burning them red.

Just when this ambiguity almost solidified into reality—

"call out--"

A flippant whistle suddenly came from the back of the group.

"Hey, this young lady's got some hot stuff! Security guard, is this your girl? How much for a night? Let me have a go?"

A spoiled young man dressed in brocade and holding a folding fan was staring lewdly at Su Wan's back, his eyes lingering on her waist and hips without restraint.

The air froze instantly.

Just a second ago, Qin Meng was blushing like a big boy in front of Su Wan, but in the next second, his aura changed drastically.

That kind of honest and simple nature that came from the bone vanished instantly, replaced by a violent and murderous aura that seemed to have rolled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He slowly turned his head.

Those eyes, which had turned red with shyness, now turned a bloodthirsty red.

"What did you say?"

Qin Meng's voice was terrifyingly deep, like a demon crawling out of hell.

The spoiled brat trembled at the look in his eyes, but emboldened by his numbers, he forced himself to say, "I said... this girl..."

"Snap!"

A crisp sound.

Qin Meng crushed the solid wood stick he used for "security checks" into powder with one hand!

Wood chips fell in a flurry, much like the chill in everyone's heart at that moment.

He walked step by step toward the纨绔 (playboy). With each step, the snow on the ground was compacted a little more.

The oppressive feeling caused the surrounding crowd to instinctively retreat like a tide, leaving only the playboy standing alone, his legs trembling.

"You... what do you want to do! My father is..."

Qin Meng walked up to him, looking down at him as if he were an ant.

He stretched out a hand, but instead of hitting him, he gently pinched the folding fan in the playboy's hand with two fingers.

"If you dare to glance at my sister-in-law again..."

"Bang!"

The priceless jade folding fan shattered between Qin Meng's two fingers!

"I'll gouge your eyes out and use them as bubbles to stomp on."

Qin Meng leaned close to the playboy's face, his hot breath carrying a strong killing intent: "Get lost."

"Wow--!"

The纨绔 (a spoiled, dissolute young man) finally couldn't hold back any longer. His eyes rolled back, his crotch instantly became wet, and he ran away crying and screaming as he tumbled and crawled.

"Who else?"

Qin Meng looked around.

This time, everyone lowered their heads and even held their breath, afraid of attracting the attention of this terrifying figure.

This is the Qin family's rule.

Anyone who dares to disrespect Su Wan is challenging the bottom line of this pack of wolves!

After dealing with the trash, Qin Meng's murderous aura instantly vanished. He turned around somewhat flustered, looking at Su Wan like a child who had done something wrong, afraid that his violent side had frightened her.

"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, I..."

Su Wan simply smiled gently.

She stepped forward, took out a handkerchief, and gently tiptoed.

Qin Meng subconsciously bent down to match her height.

Su Wan took a handkerchief and carefully wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead, her movements as gentle as if she were wiping a rare treasure.

"Third Brother was really impressive just now," she said softly. "From now on, if anyone dares to bully me, I'll call him Third Brother."

Qin Meng's heart melted instantly.

He grinned foolishly, a smile so innocent it was heartbreaking: "Yeah! I'm your sister-in-law's watchdog! Anyone who dares to touch her, I'll bite them to death!"

Su Wan playfully slapped his hard chest: "What are you saying? You're the third brother, the pillar of the family."
