Chapter 1683

Indoors.

Everything's settled.

After pushing Fang Wenping under the bed, Dong Xuebing felt a slight relief in his heart. He was much more relaxed now, so he went to open the door.

However, suddenly, there was a weight on his foot.

Dong Xuebing felt someone grabbing his ankle. When he took a step, he almost stumbled and nearly cursed out loud.

"What are you doing?" Dong Xuebing crouched down and whispered.

Fang Wenping's tone was even more aggressive than his. "My clothes."

Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead, realizing it just now. "I almost forgot."

"If my niece sees you helping me, you won't get away with it," Fang Wenping threatened.

Dong Xuebing clicked his tongue but went over to get Fang Wenping's dress and sweater from the chair. After looking around, he decided to toss them under the bed. It seemed like the safest place. He kicked her high heels under the bed as well. Once again, standing up, Dong Xuebing couldn't understand how things had turned out this way. They were enemies, but now they were working together. He shrugged it off, deciding to deal with the two outside before thinking further.

"Are you feeling better?" Xie Ran asked.

Dong Xuebing brushed off the dirt from his clothes. "I am fine now."

But before Dong Xuebing could react, Xie Ran pushed the door open, followed by Fang Shuiling. Dong Xuebing almost kicked them out of reflex. He had intended to take them outside, but unexpectedly, they barged into the room without asking.

Dong Xuebing was surprised. "Didn't I say to talk outside?"

Xie Ran didn't listen. "Sorry to disturb your rest."

Fang Shuiling also had something in her hand, which she placed on the table. "Brother Dong, we brought you some fruits and stuff. Sorry about yesterday."

Dong Xuebing asked, "Whose idea was it?"

"Mine," Xie Ran hurried to answer.

"It's mine," Fang Shuiling also said.

Xie Ran quickly grabbed her hand. "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

Dong Xuebing stammered, "Uh, yeah, there are mice. It's been a few days. It's okay, ignore them. I'm not afraid of these things anyway."

Xie Ran shook his head. "That won't do. I'll chase them out and kill them for you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Shuiling immediately backed away, standing near the door.

But Dong Xuebing hurriedly grabbed Xie Ran. "What are you doing? It's no big deal, just mice."

"They're annoying. Don't worry, leave it to me," Xie Ran boasted. "I have mice in the residential area where I live. I've already killed two." It was evident that Xie Ran was trying hard to show off, probably because he knew he had angered Dong Xuebing with last night's incident.

But Dong Xuebing didn't dare let him look under the bed. After all, Fang Wenping was there, half-naked.

And killing mice?

That would be disastrous.

Dong Xuebing became even more anxious. "You don't need to worry. I'll handle it later."

"But you're still worried," Xie Ran said, getting up from the bed and squatting. "Leave it to me."

"No, no need," Dong Xuebing was sweating bullets. Seeing him about to lift the bedsheet, Dong Xuebing was terrified and quickly pressed it back down. "Look, you've frightened Xiao Ling. Just forget about it. Once she leaves, I'll deal with it. Get up quickly and have some tea."

Xie Ran's shoes were already touching under the bed, and from Dong Xuebing's perspective, he could almost see a black stocking. His shoes almost kicked Fang Wenping's thigh.

At Dong Xuebing's words, Xie Ran glanced at his girlfriend, thought for a moment, and stood up. "Alright."

Fang Shuiling was on the verge of tears. Women are always a little afraid of mice. "Let's, let's go to the outer room."

Of course, Dong Xuebing was eager for that. "Yes, let's go to the outer room. I'll make some tea for you." With that, he quickly pulled Xie Ran out of the living room.

Phew.

That was too close.
