Chapter 370: Chapter 243: A Great Situation?

Her anger usually faded quickly.

But this time, it didn’t. There was nothing but darkness, and the only sound she could hear was her own voice.

Thinking about it made Jiangg Yao feel even more wronged.

First, she kicked away the cumbersome quilt, then shoved her tear-soaked pillow aside. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time, sniffled a few times, stretched her stiff back, and spread her limbs out on the bed like a starfish.

The quilt clearly carried Chen Yuan’s scent. She wrinkled her little nose and sniffed. For some reason, she found it very pleasant. The bitter feeling in her heart slowly subsided with time. After a while, bored out of her mind, she started wriggling around under the covers.

At first, she hadn’t been that upset about being shut in the room. She thought her young master would come over soon and they could be intimate for a while. But after waiting and waiting for no one, she was getting restless.

’What is Chen Yuan doing anyway?’ she wondered. ’He couldn’t be in the living room being all lovey-dovey with my sister, could he?’

She sat up with a start, walked suspiciously toward the door, and pushed it open carefully, stepping outside the room.

The first thing she saw was Jiangg Ning and Chen Yuan gazing affectionately at each other. They were talking about something and seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, getting closer and closer.

Their shoulders were so close they would touch with the slightest movement.

The atmosphere was incredibly intimate.

"Hey!" she yelled. "Did you lock me in the room just so you two could flirt out here?"

Her shout made them both turn their heads.

Furious, Jiangg Yao stormed over, pushed her sister away, then pushed Chen Yuan away, and forcefully squeezed herself between them.

"We were just having a normal conversation."

"Like hell I believe that! You two were about to kiss! My eyes aren’t broken."

"We were not..."

Jiangg Ning’s eyes darted away. She quickly picked up her teacup and took a sip to hide her blush and awkwardness.

Jiangg Yao’s outburst snapped Chen Yuan back to his senses. He suddenly realized how dangerous the situation had just been. He had been unwittingly drawn in by Ningning, completely letting his guard down.

"It’s still raining outside. Doesn’t look like it’s going to stop."

To ease the awkwardness, Chen Yuan stood up and walked over to the balcony window.

Raindrops splattered against the clean glass, leaving trails of water. Fog had already clouded half the pane, and he had to wipe it with his hand to get a decent view of the scene outside. Looking down from above, the rain fell in torrents from the gloomy sky, blurring into lines that obscured the lights of the building across the way.

He guessed that some streets with poor drainage had probably already flooded into impassable streams. A tow truck, its eye-catching yellow-and-white stripes flashing, passed by below, likely on its way to a rescue on some flooded street. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He watched quietly for a moment, thinking.

’Will this rain stop in the next hour?’

’Being in the same room with these two sisters, especially with our history... it’s hard to guarantee something won’t happen. No matter how much self-control I have, I’m still a young man in my prime. Besides, as they say, even heroes have a weakness for beautiful women. I don’t know how long I can hold out.’

’Once the rain stops and they leave, all my troubles will be over, and I’ll finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief.’

...

Back on the sofa, the two sisters were in a tense standoff. One’s eyes were wide with anger, the other’s were narrowed. Whenever Jiangg Ning shifted even an inch to look at Chen Yuan, Jiangg Yao would move her body an inch to block her line of sight.

If her sister moved left, she moved left. If her sister moved right, she moved right. She wouldn’t give an inch!

"Why do you keep blocking me? Is this huge sofa not big enough for you to sit?" Jiangg Ning threatened in a low voice.

"There’s plenty of room. But I’m going to block you anyway. I won’t let you sneak glances at my boyfriend. I’ll make you feel the might of the official girlfriend at all times."

"Pfft," Jiangg Ning couldn’t help but laugh. She said mockingly, "Don’t make me laugh, Yaoyao. Did you cry yourself silly in your room? Nothing is set in stone yet. What makes you think you’re the ’official girlfriend’?"

"I don’t care. Chen Yuan is mine, period. I’m blocking you today. As long as I’m here, don’t even think about seducing him like you were just now."

"Didn’t you hear Chen? We were just having a simple chat. It’s not as sordid as you think."

"Yeah, a ’normal chat’~ Since when does ’normal chatting’ involve making kissing noises until your lips almost touch?! Who do you think I’m going to believe, my own eyes or you?"

"I don’t want to fight with you."

"You just want to act all pure and innocent!"

Looking at her provocative little sister, Jiangg Ning frowned, feeling annoyed. She had been having such a good conversation with Chen Yuan. She felt like their understanding of each other was deepening, and he had even started initiating topics himself.

But then her sister had to show up at the worst possible moment.

She had just asked if he wanted her to bring over a few of her potted plants, since his apartment was so plain. Chen Yuan hadn’t answered yet.

’This was my excuse to come over next time, and he was just about to agree!’

How could Jiangg Ning not be anxious?

Growing more and more irritated by being blocked, Jiangg Ning felt her patience wearing thin. She was on the verge of teaching her sister a lesson.

"This is pointless. In the end, it will be a lose-lose situation where nobody benefits. Why don’t we make a deal? Don’t bother me tonight. This is a rare chance for me to spend time with Chen. In the future, if you have a similar request, I’ll return the favor."

"I’m not listening, I’m not listening, I’m not listening!" Jiangg Yao shook her head vigorously. "I’m going to guard him with my life tonight, even if we both lose! You really pissed me off, so I’ll be happy to take you down with me!"

As she spoke, she lunged at her sister, pinning her arms. They both tumbled onto the sofa. Jiangg Yao then used her full, round bottom to sit firmly on her sister’s legs. The move was so forceful and heavy that Jiangg Ning couldn’t move at all.

Yaoyao also wrapped her long legs around her sister’s.

She was using her entire body to seal away the demon.
