"Yikes! Why's the house so wet? Mom, how'd you get soaked like that?" Wen Lan's concerned voice rang out immediately.
"Oh, the pipe came loose and sprayed everywhere. Your brother-in-law fixed it. I'm heading upstairs to shower and change," Shen Han, caught by Wen Lan, said shamefully, hurrying upstairs.
"Wow, that's wild! The kitchen's practically flooded!" Wen Lan peeked into the kitchen, spotting her sister and brother-in-law whispering. Pouting with a twinge of jealousy, she teased, "Sis, brother-in-law, you two planning a little bath-time fun?"
"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Help mop the floor!" Wen Wan grabbed a mop to start cleaning.
But Li Bin snatched it from her, saying, "You go rest. I'll handle it."
"Brother-in-law, since when are you so sweet to Sis? Not even letting her mop? Didn't you used to complain she wouldn't wash your clothes or clean?" Seeing Li Bin and Wen Wan so lovey-dovey, Wen Lan's jealousy spiked, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Your sister's pregnant. It's slippery here—dangerous! Help her out of the kitchen," Li Bin said, mopping the water near Wen Wan's feet while guiding her out.
"What?! Sis!! You're pregnant??" Wen Lan bounced excitedly, lively as a big white rabbit. "For real? Sis, you're gonna be a mom? I'm gonna be an aunt?"
"Of course it's real!" Wen Wan blushed happily, touching her still-flat stomach, already radiating a motherly vibe.
"Then Sis, go rest. I'll help brother-in-law mop," Wen Lan said, pushing Wen Wan to sit in the living room. Grinning, she grabbed a broom to sweep the water, sneaking a glance at Wen Wan resting, then whispered to Li Bin, "Brother-in-law, congrats on becoming a dad."
"Congrats to you too, future auntie," Li Bin nodded with a smile, checking Wen Lan's status and intimacy level above her head.
[Intimacy: 94%] [Current Status: Happy, Mysterious, Excited, Surprised, Jealous, Envious]
Her intimacy had dropped, showing it needed constant nurturing to maintain—or it'd slip.
Wen Lan's status made Li Bin smirk.
Her jealousy, envy, and possessiveness were good news for him.
Maybe he could use the sisters' little rivalry, stoking Wen Lan's jealousy to strain their bond, making her easier to seduce.
But what puzzled Li Bin most was Wen Lan's "mysterious" status—his first time seeing it.
"Wen Lan, something happen today? You seem extra chipper," Li Bin said, mopping the floor while fishing for gossip.
"You know me so well! I've got big news—super juicy!" Wen Lan giggled, lowering her voice mysteriously.
Seeing Li Bin lean in, she continued, "I went to hang with my bestie Yining today, and guess what? Wang Sicai, the big-shot rich kid, is chasing her!"
"What? Wang Sicai? After your friend?" Li Bin froze. Wang Sicai, son of a former billionaire, a true elite playboy, chasing Wen Lan's bestie?
"Real or fake? Is your friend just bragging? Wang Sicai's the 'national husband,'" Li Bin said skeptically. "Yining? You mean Sun Yining, that influencer who came over once? She's hot, sure, a total babe, but catching Wang Sicai's eye? That's a stretch."
"You don't believe me? I'm telling you, Wang Sicai's a total creep, hounding Yining nonstop, being a clingy pest, even threatening her. She's scared stiff, stuck between rejecting him and giving in. He's such a pain—'national husband'? More like a spoiled brat who plays with women thanks to his parents' money. No way I'd fall for a guy like that," Wen Lan scoffed.
"Wang Sicai's obsessed with your friend Sun Yining? No shit, for real?" Li Bin still couldn't wrap his head around it.
"Totally real! I saw their chat logs. Wang Sicai was like, 'I got an IV today—what kind? Missing you all night.' Made me wanna puke. We nicknamed him 'Greasy Pancake,'" Wen Lan laughed smugly, her tone dripping with disdain for him.
"A woman even money can't buy?" Li Bin's curiosity about Wen Lan's friend Sun Yining skyrocketed.
