CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 259: YIN SHIXIU’S AMBITION 2

"Alright, go to sleep."

Su Xiaomeng contentedly nuzzled against the back of his neck, the smile on her lips lingering without fading.

Marrying him, truly wonderful.

When Yin Shixiu carried the basically already asleep Su Xiaomeng back to the hotel, the hour hand had just passed twelve.

He was afraid they might run into guests who hadn’t left yet if they went through the front door, so they took the back door, crossing a small wooden bridge and directly entering the building where their room was located.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they crossed the wooden bridge, they heard a man’s teasing voice not far away.

The man’s voice was somewhat familiar...

Yin Shixiu originally didn’t want to interfere, but Su Xiaomeng wasn’t sleeping deeply. She heard the sounds of an unpleasant argument and groggily opened her eyes, "Uncle, what’s happening?"

"Nothing good."

"Let go of me! Let go of me!"

Su Xiaomeng blinked, waking up a bit because of the woman’s shout.

She got off Yin Shixiu quickly, "Let’s take a look."

In an instant, Su Xiaomeng dragged Yin Shixiu to the "center of the dispute."

The drunken man, with a flushed face, was pulling a young woman, looking like... harassment?

"Yin..."

Su Xiaomeng recognized the man but couldn’t recall his name immediately.

"Zijie, let her go."

Yin Shixiu’s voice turned cold and he let out a snort.

Yin Zijie swayed, squinted his drunken eyes, glanced at Yin Shixiu, then laughed a few times, "Fourth cousin! How, how come you’re here? Oh... cousin-in-law! Cousin-in-law, why is your outfit all muddy? Oh! I get it..."

Yin Zijie pointed at Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng, burped, and continued, "You two... went out to play! Cousin and cousin-in-law... Your courage is really... burp—too big!"

Seeing Yin Zijie’s attention diverted, the young woman tried to break free from his grip.

But as soon as she moved, Yin Zijie regained his senses and pulled the woman into his arms, trying to kiss her, "Little beauty, you were so attentive to me at the banquet... Why be reserved now?"

"Let go, let go!"

Before the woman finished speaking, Yin Shixiu already yanked Yin Zijie away and slapped him.

Yin Zijie felt a pain on his cheek, "Hit, hit me?"

"Sober yet?"

"Cousin, you actually hit me! This little slut was, was seducing me... burp!"

"I didn’t seduce him!"

The young woman quickly said! Her eyes were a bit red, looking quite aggrieved, yet her expression was determined.

Her gaze shifted from Yin Zijie to Yin Shixiu...

She knew him...

During the wedding ceremony in the day, her seat was positioned in a way that she couldn’t see clearly, but now from up close, she realized the groom was so handsome.

"You are..."

Su Xiaomeng examined the woman for a long while, then tentatively asked, "The daughter of the little aunt?"

Guo Tong quickly looked toward the sound, Su Xiaomeng, this girl younger than her... was today’s bride, her distant cousin niece in title.

Up close, not an incredibly beautiful person, but now a phoenix on a branch.

"Xiao Meng, I’m Guo Tong."

"I knew it! She looked familiar!"

"Burp... What? What are you doing?"

Yin Zijie was drunk as a mess, holding his face, pointing at them and asking.

Yin Shixiu took out his phone and made a call to Second Uncle.

Then he threw Yin Zijie to the side and said to Guo Tong, "Sorry, this is my cousin, poor behavior when drunk, he didn’t mean to offend you, I apologize on his behalf."

Guo Tong had a tall figure, standing nearly one meter seventy, with straight legs, a slightly exposed abdomen, and faintly visible abs.

Her shoulders were narrow and collarbones prominent, a model figure indeed.

Besides, she had a pretty face, easily memorable with her small face and long almond-shaped eyes.

At least from the bottom of her heart, Su Xiaomeng considered this cousin quite beautiful.

A young girl with a pretty face tends to be somewhat proud and self-satisfied, Guo Tong carried an air of arrogance.

Faced with Yin Shixiu’s gentle apology, she merely replied faintly, "It’s alright, I shouldn’t have assumed that chatting at the party meant I could drink with him, letting him misunderstand me as that kind of woman."

"Hmph... That kind of... Hmph, you—"

Yin Zijie was dizzy from drinking, yet his scattered attention continued to focus on Guo Tong.

Without a word, Yin Shixiu kicked Yin Zijie, shutting the disgraceful guy up.

Yin Zijie pouted, quite aggrieved...

"Brother, you’re so fierce!"

Yin Shixiu glanced at him, then turned back to Guo Tong.

"Sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Guo. It’s late now, which room are you staying in? I’ll have the hotel security escort you back."

Saying this, Yin Shixiu waved to the nearby patrolling security guard.

The guard quickly ran over upon seeing the gesture...

Yin Shixiu spoke fluently in Balinese rather than the general language, and the guard nodded repeatedly, then walked up to Guo Tong, bending slightly to politely ask her to walk ahead.

Guo Tong didn’t say much when leaving, only taking a couple extra glances at Yin Shixiu, then told Su Xiaomeng, "Xiao Meng, I’ll be going now, let’s not mention tonight’s incident to the family..."

"Alright."

Su Xiaomeng nodded in agreement.

When Guo Tong left, her back was still perfectly straight, giving off an impression of refined elegance.

Su Xiaomeng withdrew her gaze and nudged Yin Shixiu with her elbow, "Isn’t my cousin beautiful?"

Yin Shixiu glanced down at her, "Trying to set a trap for me?"

The caught-out Su Xiaomeng was visibly embarrassed for a moment.

"You women are all like this. If I shake my head, you’d say I’m not honest, if I nod..."

"Oh, come on, why think so much? Just asking casually, just asking casually..."

Su Xiaomeng laughed to cover up her guilty conscience, thinking that having a too-smart husband really has no benefits at all.

Her gaze fell on the sleeping Yin Zijie, and she quickly changed the subject, asking, "What about him?"

"Leave him here. Uncle and Aunt will come by in a bit."

"Hmm... isn’t that not so great?"

"He brought it on himself. We have to go back, Shuangshuang and Huanghuang should still be with Mom and Dad."

Su Xiaomeng glanced at Yin Zijie, considered for a moment, and still pulled Yin Shixiu, "Let’s wait for Uncle and Aunt to come before we go."

As she spoke, Su Xiaomeng had already sat down on a stone beside them. Yin Shixiu sighed, but as he looked down at his watch, they saw that Yin Zijie, who was sleeping a moment ago, suddenly woke up and pulled Su Xiaomeng into his arms, "Beauty... so cold, let me hold you, my dear young master..."

Veins throbbed on Yin Shixiu’s forehead, and he was about to reach out to pull the drunkards up and toss him out.

But before he could, Su Xiaomeng’s reflexes kicked in, and she raised her fist, hitting him with a punch and then a slap.

Yin Zihao was left dazed by the hits.

His face stung with a fiery pain, and he looked wide-eyed at Su Xiaomeng, who was standing up, breathing heavily and clearly frightened.

Su Xiaomeng swallowed. After all, he was drunk, and you can’t consider it intentional, plus he’s a relative...

"Well, um... reflex action, reflex action..."

She explained, and Yin Zijie stood there dumbfounded for quite a while before slowly breaking down into tears, the twenty-something-year-old man suddenly started crying!

"Bro... Fourth Cousin... she hit me, she hit me... boohoo..."

"Cough cough, come on, don’t cry..."

Su Xiaomeng scratched her head, wondering how this grown man could be as childish as a kid, despite having such a tough-guy appearance.

"Serves you right."

"Bro..."

Yin Zijie was just about to say something else when Yin Shaohuai and his wife hastily arrived.

Initially, Yin Shixiu hadn’t planned to call Uncle, considering it was too late and Uncle wasn’t young anymore.

Yet, Yin Zijie, whenever drunk, liked to act boisterously.

Oddly enough, no matter how uncontrollable his drunken antics got, they would immediately calm down as soon as Uncle arrived.

"Zijie!"

"Hic... ugh!"

Isn’t that something? Halfway through a hiccup, he heard his father’s voice, quickly covering his mouth to swallow down the rest of the hiccup.

Su Xiaomeng stood there, dumbstruck. That was really quite unbelievable.

Yin Shixiu briefed Uncle succinctly on what happened, emphasizing that Zijie was just drunk, rather than trying to flirt with Xiaomeng’s cousin.

After all...

Among the siblings and cousins in the Yin Family of the same generation, Yin Zijie was someone he understood quite well.

Of course, that had a lot to do with Yin Zijie’s shockingly straightforward and simple nature.

As for Guo Tong...

Yin Shixiu, holding Su Xiaomeng’s hand, bid Uncle and Aunt goodnight and went into the building together.

They first headed to Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin’s room. As expected, the two elders hadn’t gone to bed, sitting in their pajamas on the sofa, pretending to be displeased.

Su Xiaomeng gulped repeatedly, realizing she and Yin Shixiu might have overstepped.

"Did you have fun?"

Yin Shaohui asked, and Su Xiaomeng didn’t dare to respond...

She tightened her grip on Yin Shixiu’s hand.

Yin Shixiu cleared his throat and said, "Dad, this... you should know, it’s definitely more enjoyable than staying in the banquet hall playing nice..."

"You brat! Instead of learning the good, you go about learning the nonsense!"

Su Xiaomeng, hearing this from the side, felt a bit lost. What were father and son talking about?

Zhou Mengqin sighed, "If it weren’t for your grandpa and in-laws being present tonight, the situation would have been hard to handle. It’s not like you don’t know what kind of people attended, next time..."

Su Xiaomeng just lowered her head and listened to the lecture, while Yin Shixiu didn’t say much either. After the two elders had finished their nagging, they "chased" them out.

Leaving the room, Su Xiaomeng was still in disbelief, "Just like that?"

"...What else did you expect?"

"Well... I thought..."

Su Xiaomeng rambled on about how she thought Mom and Dad would seriously scold them, but it turned out to be just a superficial criticism.

Yin Shixiu chuckled in silence.

Then the two went to Su’s father’s and Su’s mother’s room, planning to take Shuangshuang and Huang Huang back home, but Su Ma decided to keep the kids there.

"A wedding night with two kids around just dampens the mood, doesn’t it?"

Su Chengji spoke, winking at Yin Shixiu.

Yin Shixiu chuckled, thanked him, and returned to their room with Su Xiaomeng.
