Chapter 24: The Family That Freeloads

Gong Xinyi! Leng Xiyue was startled. When did he get here?

Why does it seem like this man gets more handsome every time she sees him? Is it because of the hero saving the beauty?

Lin Xue was intimidated by Gong Xinyi's presence, and also stunned by his unparalleled beauty.

After a brief pause, unwilling to let go, she said, "Who are you? Why should I let her go? She's a thief, she stole my gold bracelet, you know?"

"Don't make accusations without evidence!" Gong Xinyi glanced at the man and spoke coldly, "Lin Xue, right? I know where your gold bracelet is."

"Where?" Lin Xue quickly released Leng Xiyue.

The fact that Gong Xinyi could call out her name thrilled her. Clutching Gong Xinyi's hand, she cooed, "Handsome, did you see who took it?"

Gong Xinyi's gaze darkened as he pushed Lin Xue's hand away, pointing at the man's bag, "It's there!"

"Impossible! How could it be in my bag?" The man clutched his briefcase tightly, grabbing Lin Xue's hand, "Forget it, let's not look for the bracelet. My wife is coming, we better go. I'll buy you a new one next time."

"Wait!" Gong Xinyi swiftly snatched the man's briefcase and slapped it into Lin Xue's hands, "Open it! Check!"

Lin Xue, unwilling to suspect the man, opened the briefcase with a complicated expression and indeed found a gold bracelet inside, instantly causing an uproar.

"You heartless beast, I never dreamed it was you who took the bracelet! You just gave it to me yesterday, and today you secretly took it back. What's the meaning of this?"

The man looked at Lin Xue with disdain, dropping the act, "Lin Xue, do you even know what you are? Do you think you're worthy of such an expensive bracelet? Letting you wear it for one night was already elevating you. Give the bracelet back to me; it's for my wife."

"For your wife? Then why did you say you were divorcing her, even damn saying you'd marry me? You scumbag, I'll kill you!"

Lin Xue picked up a broom and lunged at the man.

"Stop!" Gong Xinyi timely intercepted Lin Xue, sternly rebuking, "Take your drama outside, don't dirty this place!"

"You trash, give the bracelet back!" The man snatched the bracelet back and quickly fled the scene.

"You jerk, the bracelet is mine..." Lin Xue furiously chased after him.

Seeing the two leave, Leng Xiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Gong, thank you. Please have a seat," Leng Xiyue hurriedly fetched a chair for Gong Xinyi.

Gong Xinyi did not sit down but went to the restroom to wash his hands with a large amount of hand soap.

"Mr. Gong is a germaphobe, do you have a clean room here?" Wang Li whispered to Leng Xiyue.

"Yes!"

Leng Xiyue led Gong Xinyi to the motel's best VIP room.

Gong Xinyi was still not satisfied with the room but didn't say anything, merely frowned and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Does your hand still hurt?" Gong Xinyi's voice was as smooth as jade.

"It hurts!"

It actually didn't hurt much anymore, but Leng Xiyue was worried that if she said it didn't hurt, Gong Xinyi would have her go back to work that night.

"If it hurts, why still do this?" Gong Xinyi's gaze was deep.

A very handsome person, yet his words made it hard to breathe.

"I... I'm financially tight, I need to work part-time." Leng Xiyue explained with a flushed face.

"Financially tight? Do you have many mouths to feed at home?"

"Yes." Leng Xiyue nodded.

Worried about revealing the secret of the six adorable kids, she quickly shook her head, "Not many, just me."

"Just you?" Gong Xinyi narrowed his dark eyes, it seems Wang Li was telling the truth, Leng Xiyue really does keep snakes at home.

It turns out the six freeloaders in Leng Xiyue's household are not humans at all!

This foolish woman! Gong Xinyi's gaze suddenly deepened.
