Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Murong Fei Wants to Turn on the Light

If Qin Tian was nervous, Su Xuejiao was even more so at this moment.

Qin Tian’s mouth was pressed against her back, and at this time, except for her bra, she wasn’t wearing anything on her upper body!

Feeling her body heat up, but because Murong Fei was in the room, Su Xuejiao could only endure it, taking deep breaths and maintaining a calm demeanor.

She could even feel Qin Tian’s breathing now; his slightly nervous, even breaths heated her back with a warm airflow, a sensation that was a bit tingling and strange.

In the room, Murong Fei had no idea there was a man hiding there, let alone that this man was her fiance in name. Without her mobile phone, she groped her way slowly to Su Xuejiao’s bed and sat down.

Feeling Murong Fei sit on the bed, Su Xuejiao and Qin Tian grew even more nervous.

”Xuejiao, I just heard you yell out; why are you yelling so late?” Murong Fei asked curiously after sitting down.

”I, I...”

Su Xuejiao was at a loss for words but then had a sudden flash of inspiration and said, ”The light in my room was flickering just now, it was so scary, I couldn’t handle it, so I shouted out. Sister, did I disturb you?”

This quick-witted answer was sensible and plausible, causing Qin Tian, hidden beneath the blanket, to look at Su Xuejiao with new respect. He wondered why such a clever girl like Su Xuejiao never excelled academically.

But then Qin Tian was not surprised, realizing that although Su Xuejiao was smart, her mind was never really on her studies, thus her grades were always below average in her class.

”How could the light break?” Murong Fei wondered, ”I remember we had someone change the lights on the second floor three months ago, and they’re broken already?”

Murong Fei spoke with doubtful suspicion and was about to get up.

Su Xuejiao, sensing trouble, quickly grabbed Murong Fei who was trying to get up, and said, ”Sister, where are you going?”

At that moment, Su Xuejiao’s heart clenched, realizing Murong Fei was about to check the light, and if that happened, it would be disastrous!

Just a moment ago, Su Xuejiao had simply turned off the light and then claimed it was broken.

If Murong Fei turned on the light and saw Qin Tian hiding under her blanket, and her in just her underwear, then...

Such a scenario was almost unbearable to imagine for Su Xuejiao; even if nothing had happened between her and Qin Tian, Murong Fei might not believe it.

If that were the case, she’d truly be unable to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Growing more nervous by the moment, Su Xuejiao held tightly to Murong Fei’s hand.

”I’m going to check what’s really wrong with this light. This light is a top-tier product manufactured by a Murong Group subsidiary; if it has a quality issue in less than three months, I need to conduct a spot check at the company tomorrow,” Murong Fei declared.

At these words, Qin Tian felt speechless. Murong Fei, truly a workaholic, was linking the situation to product quality issues and thinking about tomorrow’s work arrangements at such a time! Murong Fei indeed lived up to her reputation.

”Forget it, sister, it’s just a light, it might be a fluke,” Su Xuejiao insisted tightly, very aware of the consequences if she let go of Murong Fei’s hand and the latter turned on the light.

”What are you doing? I’m just checking the light; why are you so nervous? Xuejiao, let go,” Murong Fei gently said, ”Work matters cannot be neglected. Especially issues with our company’s product quality; this could damage our reputation, and I wouldn’t want such matters to hit the newspapers because of this.”

As she spoke, Murong Fei’s other hand tugged at Su Xuejiao’s arm holding her wrist, urging Su Xuejiao to let go.

”Sister, aren’t you making too much of a fuss...”

Su Xuejiao was reluctant to let go, but given Murong Fei’s resolute attitude, she had no choice but to allow Murong Fei to rise and turn towards the switch by the bedside.

”It’s all over now...”

With a furrowed brow, Su Xuejiao felt as if the sky were falling, thinking that her sister might get angry, assuming she had had an affair with her own bodyguard, and this... how had it come to this?!

Just when Su Xuejiao felt the world was about to collapse, Murong Fei reached for the switch at the bedside and pressed it—

Click!

Hearing the sound, Su Xuejiao became even more nervous and tightly closed her eyes.

Silence!

A few seconds of silence!

”What’s going on?”

Murong Fei said, ”The company’s highest-quality lamp, broken after just three months? What’s going on here!”

After the silence, Murong Fei’s somewhat angry voice could be heard.

But this voice took Su Xuejiao by surprise.

She opened her eyes, and the room was still pitch dark!

What’s going on, didn’t my sister turn on the light?

Su Xuejiao was stunned, and inside, she felt extremely shocked and curious; the room’s light was clearly working, as she had just turned it off. Why didn’t her sister turn it on?

Su Xuejiao was utterly baffled, while Murong Fei at this time paid no attention to these details, instead feeling some anger towards the company’s product quality issues with the lamp.

”Forget it, I’ll deal with this matter tomorrow.”

The depressed Murong Fei collected her emotions and returned to the bedside.

”Sis, don’t worry too much about the company’s matters,”

Su Xuejiao, who hadn’t turned on the light, now felt much better and advised Murong Fei.

”Don’t worry about my affairs, let’s talk about yours,” Murong Fei said.

”My affairs?”

”Yes. Recently, your grades have been slipping; what exactly is going on? Xuejiao, your grandfather and I have high hopes for you, don’t let us down.”

Murong Fei spoke mildly, ”That stubborn temperament of yours needs to change. Ah, it’s also our fault for spoiling you too much, and now that you’ve grown up, we can’t control you anymore. But I hope you grow up soon and come to understand things sooner. You’re only in high school now, and for college, you must get into a better university, which will help your future, understand?”

”Oh, I understand, sis,” Su Xuejiao responded.

Murong Fei was taken aback, somewhat surprised. Usually, if she spoke to her like this, she’d definitely come back at her with some twisted logic.

She hadn’t expected that today Su Xuejiao wouldn’t say anything and seemed to be actually listening, which astonished Murong Fei greatly.

”It’s good that you understand, heh, if you are sensible, it saves a lot of trouble for your grandfather and me,” Murong Fei smiled contentedly in the dark room.

”Sis...” Su Xuejiao sounded discontent.

”Let’s not talk about your studies, Xuejiao. I want to ask you, how is Qin Tian?” Murong Fei changed the subject.

”Sis, what kind of question is that, ’how is Qin Tian?’ Are you asking if brother Qin Tian is doing well, or if brother Qin Tian is treating me well?” Su Xuejiao asked confusingly.

Upon hearing this, Murong Fei was taken aback and exclaimed, ”Xuejiao, what did you call Qin Tian?”
