Chapter 427 : Pffft Haha

In the restroom on the 14th floor of Tianyu Building, Su Qi, who had just displayed such bravado, was now awkwardly using the facilities. Her delicate ears strained to hear the conversation among her three wives outside.

"Sister An Ning, Sister Zijin, please take good care of your little sister from now on. Don't bully me, okay?" Wang Yun said playfully, hopping on one foot as she addressed her scowling sister and her best friend. Her demeanor was lighthearted, a stark contrast to her earlier seriousness during the confrontation. She showed no signs of being someone about to leave her job; instead, she seemed as jubilant as a lottery winner.

It's worth noting that Yang Zongfan had already been taken away by Officers Lin Hao and Zhang Ru.

"Oh my, I'm going to fall!" Wang Yun, noticing her sister and friend's stony faces, decided to play the sympathy card. She pretended to lose her balance, tipping towards her sister.

Although Wang Zijin saw through her sister's ploy, she couldn't let her fall. She had no choice but to catch her.

Caught in her sister's arms, Wang Yun embraced her fully, planting a kiss on her cheek before saying, "My sister is the best. Oh no, I should say 'big sister' now. After all, in terms of seniority, you're the first wife, right?"

Wang Zijin vigorously wiped her cheek where her sister had kissed her, expressing her disgust. Her emotions were in turmoil. Her earlier decision to have Xiao Xiaoxiao spy on her husband and sister showed her wariness of their relationship. After all, since renting out the Green City Community, her sister, as the landlord, had grown quite close to Su Qi.

The results from the voice recorder, honestly, were both unexpected and yet somehow predictable. Considering how her sister had just injured her foot protecting her husband, Wang Zijin was at a loss for how to handle the situation.

Most frustratingly, her sister was incredibly persistent. Wang Yun was now like a piece of chewing gum, constantly calling her "Sister, Sister." While it felt odd to Wang Zijin, it also reminded her of their childhood. She found it difficult to fend off her sister's shameless tactics.

What annoyed Wang Zijin most was that her anger was visibly fading in the face of her sister's relentless charm offensive.

Wang Yun, observing her sister's softening expression, knew from years of experience that although Zijin remained silent, her anger had likely dissipated significantly.

She then turned her attention to her sister's best friend, An Ning. Hopping on her left foot, she approached An Ning and said, "Sister An Ning?"

An Ning, seeing the coquettishly smiling Wang Yun in her sexy professional attire calling her "Sister An Ning," involuntarily shuddered. Being neighbors, An Ning had often fallen victim to this cunning big sister's schemes. Each time the devious Wang Yun used this sweet, coquettish tone, it inevitably preceded some sort of trap.

If it wasn't An Ning herself who fell into these traps, it was either her best friend, her own brother An Dong, or most frequently, her best friend's brother Wang Zicheng.

This time, however, An Ning had seen through the ploy early. After all, at the end of the voice recording, Wang Yun had referred to An Ning's husband as her own.

Watching Wang Yun hop towards her on one leg, An Ning deliberately took a step back, using body language to express her displeasure.

Unfazed by this reaction, Wang Yun called out to Su Qi in the bathroom, "Hubby, your first wife is bullying your little wife. Are you going to do something about it?"

Hearing Wang Yun's words, Su Qi, who had just finished using the restroom and was about to come out, felt her legs weaken. How was she supposed to respond to this? It felt like any answer would be the wrong one!

However, hiding in the bathroom indefinitely wasn't an option. After all, Su Qi had already been in there for twenty minutes. Come to think of it, this was the longest bathroom visit since her transformation.

Although Su Qi was apprehensive about the confrontation that awaited her outside, she didn't want to worry her wives by making them wait too long. So, she emerged from the restroom.

Today was the first day of her special period, and she had just been through the intense incident of throwing things at Yang Zongfan. Honestly, Su Qi felt drained of energy. As she left the bathroom, each step felt wobbly, as if she were walking on cotton.

While using the restroom had provided some relief, the cramps associated with this special time couldn't be solved by a single bathroom visit.

An Ning had intended to interrogate her husband thoroughly about the situation when he came out. However, seeing her husband emerge in such a weak state, she hesitated.

Su Qi's usually fair complexion was now ashen, almost sickly pale, which paradoxically gave her a sort of fragile beauty that stirred protective instincts. Seeing Su Qi with her head lowered, looking like a child afraid of punishment for misbehavior, An Ning's heart softened. Without further questioning, she took her husband's arm to prevent her from falling.

Feeling the softness of An Ning's arm, Su Qi felt even more guilty, unsure how to explain her relationship with Sister Wang Yun. After all, explaining to Wife Zijin seemed manageable—the sisters had a good relationship, and Xiao Xiaoxiao liked Sister Wang Yun too. But dealing with Wife An Ning seemed more challenging.

As these thoughts swirled in her mind, Su Qi suddenly had an epiphany. Now that her relationship with Sister Wang Yun was exposed, didn't that mean she no longer needed to keep the surprise for Wife Zijin a secret? Couldn't she now find an opportunity to win over Wife Zijin and then work together to gain Wife An Ning's acceptance of Wang Yun?

In that moment, Su Qi felt incredibly clever.

Due to the recent harassment incident, although Wang Yun and Su Qi hadn't formally resigned, no one would stop them from leaving now. After all, Vice President Yang had already confirmed Wang Yun's resignation in front of everyone earlier.

As for Su Qi, the small assistant, she didn't care much about losing that bit of salary. Let them deduct it if they wanted.

The four of them took the elevator down to the B3 parking lot. Since Wang Yun's injured foot prevented her from driving, and despite Wang Zijin and An Ning's displeasure with this "witch" who had "stolen" their husband, they had to ensure her safe return home.

Fortunately, they had come in An Ning's Mercedes G-Class today, which could comfortably seat all four of them. Su Qi, eager to discuss the "surprise" with Wife Zijin and strategize about getting Wife An Ning to accept Wang Yun, deliberately chose to sit in the back seat with Zijin.

As the car slowly drove off, Su Qi's mind raced, momentarily distracting her from her stomach pain.

Wang Zijin, observing her pitiful husband clutching her stomach, felt a mix of anger at her sister's actions and sympathy for her husband. After all, who could stay mad at their own husband?

After a moment's thought, she gently pulled Su Qi's small frame closer to herself and began to softly massage her belly.

Feeling Wife Zijin's gentle caress, Su Qi became even more convinced of the deep bond between Zijin and Wang Yun. After all, if she were truly angry, would she be rubbing Su Qi's stomach like this?

Su Qi inched closer to Wife Wang Yun, and once she deemed the distance sufficient, she tilted her head up and whispered her surprise and plans into Wife Zijin's ear.

Wang Zijin, being socially adept, sensed something amiss when her husband mentioned knowing that she and her sister had the best relationship. However, she didn't interrupt Su Qi, choosing to listen further.

Su Qi, interpreting this silence as tacit approval, continued with growing confidence.

When Wang Zijin heard her husband say that her childhood wish was to like the same person as her sister, she finally understood the source of her unease. Her husband had been deceived!

Still, Wang Zijin didn't stop Su Qi. She wanted to hear if her husband had anything else to reveal. After all, now her husband seemed to believe they were all in the same boat.

As a result, Wang Zijin's expression gradually darkened.

Especially when she heard about the "big surprise" her husband had secretly prepared for her, her face became so expressive it could have starred in a "face-changing" performance!

When Su Qi finally finished explaining her grand surprise and strategy, she looked up at Wife Zijin, only to realize something was off.

Why were her eyes narrowed like that?

Wang Yun, sitting in the front passenger seat, noticed her sister's changing expression and guessed what her naive little husband might have said.

Although her foot still ached, she couldn't help but find the scene utterly amusing. Pffft haha...
