Chapter 1353 - 774: Flirting With My Sister-in-Law in All Seriousness, Jiang Xiaosi Roaming the Night (Part 2)

"Your brother he..."

Jiang Shiyi saw her a bit annoyed and lowered his head to kiss her on the temple twice.

His soft, warm lips seemed to carry a burning heat, like a skilled and passionate hunter, setting her ablaze inch by inch.

Lin Luyou always thought she had strong self-control, but she really couldn’t handle such teasing.

She just felt dizzy, her legs weak.

People like Jiang Shiyi, usually serious and elegant, are the least expected to act like this in private. The greater the contrast, the harder it is to handle.

"Jiang Shiyi..." Lin Luyou raised her hand to push him, "Your brother is still outside."

"Jiang Shiyi?"

"Sen... senpai." Lin Luyou had to change the way she called him.

She thought this person probably had some weird obsession since how long had it been since they graduated, yet he still liked her calling him that.

Lin Luyou felt embarrassed, and just then, adding insult to injury—

Jiang Chengsi bumped into them!

Jiang Chengsi just wanted to say hi to them before leaving; he even had his coat on. He didn’t expect these two to have a few drinks and be doing whatever that was in the hallway...

If you want to be all lovey-dovey, can’t you go to a room?

What’s the point of doing it in the hallway?

Jiang Chengsi turned a corner and ran right into them, no way out for him, and of course, Jiang Shiyi and Lin Luyou saw him.

This old rogue, why are you pressing the girl against the wall?

My god!

Where are your hands?

I’m still at home, do you even regard me as a person, being so utterly shameless?

And how are you flirting so solemnly yet not feeling any shame?

Lin Luyou’s face was thoroughly embarrassed; she didn’t know how to react for a moment, but Jiang Shiyi was calm enough to press her head gently, pulling her into his arms, and turned his head to look at Jiang Chengsi: "You need something?"

"I..." Eavesdropping during the day, crashing in on two people’s good time at night.

Every encounter being so awkward was downright unlucky.

Most importantly, the ones who should be embarrassed are the two who were being lovey-dovey, but Jiang Shiyi looked calm as ever, instead, Jiang Chengsi, the one catching them, was at a loss for what to do.

"I... I was about to leave, just saying goodbye to you guys."

"I arranged to meet Zeyan for another drink, so I won’t disturb you anymore."

"Uh... carry on!"

Lin Luyou was even more embarrassed, wishing she could disappear, but Jiang Shiyi at this moment said something even more shameless: "I’m busy, won’t see you off."

"..."

Lin Luyou was stunned, Jiang Chengsi was floored.

Busy?

His brother’s choice of words was really powerful; the word "busy" alone led to wild imaginations.

**

When Jiang Chengsi left the house, closed the door behind him, walked a few steps, he realized he even forgot to change his slippers. After a clumsy rush, he finally left the house.

Under the pitch-black sky and fierce wind, he looked around and couldn’t figure out where to go?

On top of that, having had a few drinks, it wasn’t convenient for him to drive.

Having a home but unable to return, wandering at night? Is this something a real brother would do?

After thinking long and hard, he decided to crash at his second brother’s place for the night, having already given them a heads-up.

Jiang Yanting wasn’t exactly an easygoing person, but today he didn’t turn him down. When Jiang Chengsi got to his place, he didn’t even ask why he was coming so late.

"Uncle Four." Jiangjiang was rather excited, "Uncle Four, come tell me a story."

"Alright." Jiang Chengsi naturally liked kids and agreed.

"Both kids have taken their baths, just read them a few stories and put them to bed, they’re both yours now." Jiang Yanting was completely at ease, saying this as he wrapped his arm around Shen Zhixian and went back to the room.

Jiang Chengsi fully expected that crashing there meant helping put the kids to bed was normal, so he didn’t mind.

But when he asked the two what story they wanted to hear, Jiangjiang suddenly fished out a little notebook from his drawer.

"You haven’t finished your homework, have you?"

"No, this is my little ledger; last night my sister and I helped you, and I haven’t settled accounts with you yet."

"..."

"Yesterday we helped entertain Grandma and Grandpa, that’s one cost, and the cake for my younger brother was requisitioned, that’s another cost. I also invited Grandpa to my soccer game; I have to accompany him, that definitely needs to be accounted for too..."

Jiang Chengsi was dumbfounded.

This kid was actually using a story as a pretext to settle accounts with him?

Did his second brother not give him any pocket money? Why was he raised to be such a little miser?

Jiangjiang didn’t study as diligently as Taotao, often lazy in cram school, possibly due to boys having more of a playful nature than girls, even earning a perfect score in abacus calculation was rare.

Now he pulled out a little abacus and handed it to Taotao, "Sister, I’ll report the amounts, you calculate the total, let’s see how much Uncle Four owes us in total."

Jiang Chengsi’s head started to hurt.

The two kids, one reported numbers while the other moved the abacus beads, coordinating remarkably well.

However, Taotao showed a bit of conscience, "Brother, isn’t it too much? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate?"

"How about we give Uncle Four a two percent discount?"

Jiang Chengsi’s head throbbed; a two percent discount? Was that really significant, even his position as Uncle Four only earned him a two percent discount.

"I still think it’s a bit much." Taotao pursed her little lips.

In his heart, Jiang Chengsi thought, nieces are still the best, understanding and considerate of their uncle.

"Right, it’s not easy making money, and now having a girlfriend costs money too." Jiang Chengsi stated plainly.

Taotao nodded, "Then how about we give Uncle Four a five percent discount."

From two percent to five percent...

Taotao being so well-behaved, understanding, studious, gentle, it was surreal hearing her say something like this.

During the New Year, Jiang Chengsi had already been extorted for a sum by the two little fellows, and he truly didn’t dare give them any more. Being small in age but having a hefty sum, if they did something with it, his second brother would absolutely kill him.

So he tried negotiating with them:

"How about this, I’ll give you a little pocket money, the rest I can take you out for treats, or to an amusement park. Didn’t you always want to go to the aquarium? Or during a long holiday, I could take you to Disney."

The allure of amusement parks is considerable for kids, and the two little ones were genuinely swayed.

"Let me and my sister discuss." Jiangjiang took Taotao aside.

"Sister, didn’t you always want to go to Disney?"

"Mom and Dad said they’d take us during summer vacation, so why should we go with Uncle Four?"

"That’s true, but Uncle Four can take us for yummy treats."

"If we had money, we could go eat on our own, whatever we wanted."

"Seems like that’s the case."

...

The three of them were in one room, and the so-called discussion, Jiang Chengsi could hear their dialogue crystal clear.

He took a deep breath, suddenly feeling that this seemingly harmless little niece might actually be more scheming than Jiangjiang.

Eventually, Jiang Chengsi still had to give them money but set terms with them not to use the money for any mischief or anything. Jiang Chengsi mentioned he would later deposit the money into a bank card they had.

The bank card was under his name, and after coaxing the siblings to sleep, Jiang Chengsi logged into online banking to check.

The money he put in during New Year was untouched by the two, with no spending or transaction records whatsoever.

Asking for money without using it, what on earth were these two little devils planning?

He specifically asked Jiangjiang, why they kept shaking him down but didn’t spend the money. Jiangjiang’s response almost made him spit blood:

"Not using it now doesn’t mean we won’t need to spend it later, and if you offer up money, it seems inappropriate not to take some, mainly because..."

"Having money gives me a sense of security."

You little brat who hasn’t even grown all his hair, talking to me about a sense of security? Exactly how did my second brother torture you usually?
