Chapter 473 - 396: Brother! Are You Coming Over for Dinner Tonight?

The moment Wang Jiale walked in the door, she saw two pairs of shoes in the entryway. To her shock, one was a pair of men’s casual shoes!!!

Wang Jiale frowned at the sight of throw pillows, a uniform, and wet spots scattered across the floor.

’That’s not right. My mom isn’t a messy person!’

Wang Jiale took a few steps forward. Just as she was about to pick up a throw pillow from the floor, she heard a faint, intermittent sound coming from the master bedroom.

On instinct, she tiptoed over to the master bedroom door, where she could clearly hear the sounds from within.

"Hurry up! This drain is leaking again!"

Wang Jiale’s furrowed brow relaxed. ’Oh, so it’s a plumber!’

’But why do the sounds seem so strange? And it sounds like they’re not in the bathroom!’

After listening intently for a moment, Wang Jiale’s face instantly flushed bright red.

She might not have eaten the pork, but she’d seen the pig run. Between secretly watching "movies" with her roommates at school and occasionally walking in on her father and stepmother’s "evening exercise," Wang Jiale’s theoretical knowledge was extensive, to say the least.

The thought that her mother, who always acted like a professional career woman, had this other side to her, combined with the sounds from inside, made Wang Jiale involuntarily reach out and grab the doorknob.

Her mind flashed back to a Japanese "action" film she’d secretly watched with her roommates, sending her imagination running wild.

With a soft CLICK, the door came unlocked. It hadn’t been locked at all.

Wang Jiale pushed the door open a crack and peeked inside.

However, the room was so large that through the narrow crack, all she could see was the bathroom door.

Judging by the direction of the sounds, they had to be over by the head of the bed. To see anything, she would have to push the door open and go inside.

In the end, Wang Jiale couldn’t muster the courage. She took two steps back and gently closed the door.

It was her first time doing something like this, and Wang Jiale felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest. Her hands were trembling. She remembered from biology class that it was because of a massive rush of adrenaline.

PHEW!

The thrill of eavesdropping lingered until she was sitting on the sofa, and it took her a good while to calm down.

’No! I’d better go back to my room!’

Wang Jiale glanced toward the master bedroom, then hastily dragged her suitcase and stumbled back to her own room.

About ten minutes later, Wang Jiale emerged from her bedroom, now dressed in a JK-style uniform, and began putting the scattered throw pillows back on the couch.

As for the messy uniform on the floor, she simply picked it up and set it aside before pulling out her phone and scrolling absentmindedly.

’How are they still making noise after so long? I thought guys were only supposed to last between three and ten minutes.’

’Did I read a fake sex-ed magazine or something?’

’And you have to remember, the guys in those movies are hand-picked! They’ve got to have way more stamina than the average person!’

Just as Wang Jiale was lost in her wild thoughts, the master bedroom door creaked open.

Wang Jiale had no time to look away. A completely naked young man walked out of the room. He was powerfully built, with clearly defined abs and pecs.

But what caught her attention even more were his powerful thighs... and his familiar face!!!

’Holy shit!’

Wu Yun strolled casually out of the master bedroom, not expecting to find a beautiful girl of about seventeen or eighteen sitting on the sofa, staring right at him.

Caught completely off guard, Wu Yun instinctively covered himself and scrambled back into the room.

"What’s wrong? Weren’t you going to get some water?"

Seeing Wu Yun’s ghost-white expression, Zhou Shuwen, still flushed from "helping fix the pipes," asked in confusion.

"There’s someone out there! Didn’t you say you were home alone?" Wu Yun said, pulling on his pants.

Zhou Shuwen, who had been lounging on the bed, immediately shot up, causing the thin blanket draped over her to slip away.

"Oh, God! I forgot my daughter was coming today! I didn’t think she’d take a cab and get here on her own!"

Zhou Shuwen’s face flushed. This was the first time she’d ever been in a situation like this, and she tried to figure out how to handle it as she got dressed.

A moment later, a fully dressed Wu Yun was joined by Zhou Shuwen, who had changed into some loungewear. She led him out of the bedroom, where they found Wang Jiale sitting on the sofa with a peculiar expression on her face.

"Jiale! When did you get here!?" Zhou Shuwen asked, smiling awkwardly.

Wang Jiale glanced at Wu Yun, who was now drinking a glass of water, before replying, "Ages ago! Mom! No wonder you didn’t answer my calls. You were busy hiding a handsome guy in your love nest!"

Luckily, Zhou Shuwen wasn’t easily embarrassed. She was an open-minded mother, after all. She smiled and said, "Come, Jiale! Let me introduce you. This is your..."

Zhou Shuwen trailed off, hesitating. She didn’t know what her daughter should call Wu Yun.

"You don’t have to. I know him!" Wang Jiale said, standing up. The image of his muscular physique flashed through her mind, and she couldn’t help but gulp.

Zhou Shuwen was startled at first, but then it made sense. Given Wu Yun’s fame, it wasn’t surprising that her daughter would recognize him.

Thinking her mom was confused, Wang Jiale explained, "Wu Yun is super famous at my school! Our teachers are always comparing us to him!"

She looked over at Wu Yun, who seemed curious as well, and continued, "Our teachers say, ’Look at all of you! This man is only two years older than you, and you’re all still asking your parents for money! Meanwhile, he’s already one of the most famous tycoons in the country!’"
