She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 3 Staying Overnight
There was a "bang" sound, and the door was violently pushed open.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She raised her eyes and looked at the two people who broke in, "What are you making noisy about so early in the morning?"

"Sister, you just woke up? We are here to take care of you!"

Meng Wan stared at the beautiful face without makeup, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, "I heard there is a wild man hiding in this room."

"Where can I find a man here? Don't talk nonsense."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned and asked, but she felt so weak in her heart that she glanced around involuntarily.

She regretted it.

She shouldn't have let her adopted brother hide behind the curtain, and said it would be safer to jump out of the window.

"It doesn't matter if my sister doesn't tell you. I'll come find it myself." Meng Wan smiled contemptuously, unable to hide the malice in her eyes.

With that said, he walked straight to the closet, opened the door, and searched for it inch by inch. The meticulousness was shocking.

Seeing that the other party had finished checking the closet and was about to move towards the curtain, Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly spoke to stop him.

"Wan'er, how can you ignore the reason..."

Before she finished speaking, a big palm suddenly touched her back.

The warm touch made her scalp tingle with shock, and she almost screamed.

When did the adopted brother hide behind the bed curtain? !

Fortunately, Meng Wan and the two were busy looking for the 'wild man' and didn't pay attention to her side.

She quickly calmed down, leaned forward slightly, avoided the hand, and nodded slightly.

She knew her stepbrother was reminding her to calm down.

After searching around, only the bed tent was left unsearched.

Meng Wan winked at Chen Yuanli.

Chen Yuanli understood and walked to the side.

If there is someone hidden inside, with the two of them joining forces to block it, that person will have no way to escape.

"I forgot to tell my sister that I have already sent someone to guard the window. I'm sure not even a fly can fly out."

Meng Wan approached with a smile, her eyes fixed on the bed curtain.

Shen Jiaojiao was anxious. Seeing Meng Wan's hand on the bed curtain, she opened her mouth to stop him.

Meng Wan didn't give her a chance to speak and opened it with force.

The bed curtain was lifted up, drew an arc in mid-air, and then fell down again.

Shen Jiaojiao's face turned pale, she closed her eyes in shock, her fists clenched unconsciously, and she couldn't even feel her nails digging into her palms.

The next second, Meng Wan lost his temper and screamed.

"How come there isn't?!"

There was nothing behind the bed curtain.

Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, shedding all her strength. Cold sweat broke out on her back, especially the back that had been caressed by the man before. It was so stiff that it was almost cramping.

She originally thought that her sworn brother was just good at business, but she didn't expect that his martial arts skills were so strong that he could leave in an instant.

Now that she had calmed down, she was shocked to realize that a person with such a temper as her adopted brother was actually willing to hide for her. It was incredible.

She suppressed the thoughts swirling in her heart and turned her back to the two of them.

"I've looked and I've searched. Can you guys go out now?" He said, pulling the blanket over his head as if to see off a guest.

"Just because we haven't found it now, it doesn't mean we didn't find it last night!" Meng Wan glared at Shen Jiaojiao angrily.

Chen Yuanli frowned and advised: "Wan'er, don't make trouble."

He couldn't figure out how he could agree with Meng Wan's rude behavior and actually accompany her into his eldest brother's compound to catch an adulterer?

Even if I catch him, I still can’t catch him. What if the elder brother gets angry and pursues the case...

He shivered for life, he didn't want to be remembered by Meng Hui.

Meng Wan snorted softly, "Where am I causing trouble? It's obviously my sister who is uneducated and ordered us to be kicked out." She snuggled into Chen Yuanli's arms and acted coquettishly, "I'm just worried about her..."

"Chen Yuanli."

Three loud words interrupted Meng Wan's words.

Chen Yuanli's heart trembled, and he quickly let go of Meng Wan's hand.

In the past, when Shen Jiaojiao was angry, she would call him by his first name!
He knew he was in the wrong and quickly pulled Meng Wan out. After a few words of comfort, he trotted back in to apologize in person.

"Jiaojiao." Chen Yuanli looked at the woman on the bed and called out uneasily.

Although Meng Wan's return made her position slightly awkward, Chen Yuanli still cared about her after they had been together for so many years.

"Early in the morning, disturbing people's dreams." Shen Jiaojiao said angrily.

Chen Yuanli explained eagerly, "It's all because of the servants who come here and talk nonsense. I will punish him later!"

"Yes." She nodded and looked up at the man.

Her charming appearance and dignified manners are skillfully blended together, making her look like a noble fairy. People can't help but drag her down to earth.

Chen Yuanli's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly: "Did Jiaojiao sleep well last night?"

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned, these words...

Recalling her sleepless night last night, warm and delicate kisses fell on her body, and the gauze curtain cut the candle shadow into pieces...

Heat rose to his cheeks, and the temperature was frightening.

She pursed her lips and said decisively: "Not good."

"Then do you want to rest for a while?"

"No rush, let's talk first."

Chen Yuanli's heart moved, and he leaned forward with an earnest look on his face, "Last night...what did eldest brother tell you?"

How to say?
Shen Jiaojiao lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips in silence.

If Chen Yuanli hadn't had some reading skills and could be used by the Meng family, how could his sworn brother have reluctantly accepted this marriage?

But when he introduced Bai Ding to marry two daughters of the Meng family, how could his sworn brother not have any idea?
Apart from anything else, even Shen Jiaojiao felt uncomfortable.

The Meng family is the richest man in Lin'an City. She is the spoiled and raised daughter of the Meng family. Who is not worthy of her?
If Chen Yuanli hadn't been chosen by his adoptive father, who happened to be in need of help from the court, he wouldn't be worthy of being engaged to her.

However, Chen Yuanli's mind was not right. After getting involved with Meng Wan, he was unwilling to break off the engagement and pretended to be deeply in love...

Shen Jiaojiao suppressed the disgust in her eyes and said softly: "Brother-in-law said that I am married to you and asked you not to neglect me too much."

"That's right. When have I ever ignored you?"

Chen Yuanli rubbed his hands and looked embarrassed.

Shen Jiaojiao gave him an angry look, "Yuanli, we have been married for half a year and you have never entered my room."

Not only had he never entered the room, Chen Yuanli didn't even dare to say a few words to her.

All the good things he had done to her in the past were transferred to Meng Wan, and they circled around Meng Wan, the real daughter.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and reveal a sarcastic smile.

It can be seen that this man is not a good person.

Looking at it from another angle, Meng Wan's return is not a bad thing, at least it allows her to see Chen Yuanli's face clearly.

Chen Yuanli smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth with an excuse, "You also know that Wan'er has an extreme temper, so why don't I treat you well? My parents asked me to accommodate her more."

Then, he coaxed her softly, "I can't help you, so I'll stay in the east wing tonight."
