Yao Le'er's mood included a hint of jealousy, and Xu Bin knew his plan was working. A little stimulation was effective after all.
"Aw, why are you kissing here?"
"My wife, I'll kiss you whenever I want. You go change, we're having hotpot for dinner."
Yao Nan giggled and went upstairs to change. Xu Bin sat in the living room and lit a cigarette. Xiao Miaomiao plopped down next to him and said to Yao Le'er, "Jump Jump, your sister's husband is different from how you described him."
"What are you going to blabber about now?"
Yao Le'er, surprised, tried to stop her, but Xu Bin pulled her back, holding her waist so she couldn't escape. He teased, "Miaomiao, what has this little girl been saying about me?"
Yao Le'er panicked, realizing how compromising their position was. She ended up lying across Xu Bin's lap, trying to grab Xiao Miaomiao:
"Shut up, you gossip! I'll tear your mouth apart if you dare say anything."
She was getting desperate, and her breasts, pressed against Xu Bin's crotch, felt his growing erection. Xu Bin, enjoying the sensation, pulled her closer, trapping her on his lap.
Xiao Miaomiao dodged her and smirked, "Oh, you don't want me to talk? Alright, let's see how sincere you are."
"You're threatening me, you little—"
Yao Le'er gritted her teeth.
"Why not? I have the guts."
Xiao Miaomiao, seeing Yao Le'er struggling, played along and sat on the floor, leaning in to tease her. Her blouse gaped open, giving Xu Bin a clear view of her cleavage. She wore a purple bra, half-cup style, revealing the top of her generous breasts, which heaved with her movements.
Xiao Miaomiao noticed Xu Bin's gaze but didn't mind, even acting oblivious as she continued to tease Yao Le'er:
"Jump Jump, unless you bribe me, I might just spill everything."
Yao Le'er was breathing heavily, her mind racing. She felt the intimacy of their position, her breasts pressed against Xu Bin's erection. She could feel it hardening, throbbing against her.
Seeing Yao Le'er's flushed face, Xiao Miaomiao smirked and crawled onto the couch, lying next to Xu Bin. She looked at him with a mischievous glint in her eye, then turned to Yao Le'er, her blouse still open, giving Xu Bin an unobstructed view of her deep cleavage.
"Sister's husband, hold her down. I'm going to spank her, and then I'll tell you everything."
"Xiao, you—"
"Sister's husband, let me go, I'm going to kill her—"
Yao Le'er struggled, her face reddening further as she felt Xu Bin's erection pressing against her breasts with each movement.
"Alright, alright, no more trouble!"
Seeing Yao Le'er's anger rising, Xu Bin intervened, releasing her. He asked, "Le'er, be honest, have you been saying bad things about me?"
Yao Le'er was flustered, and Xiao Miaomiao hugged her from behind, teasing, "What's wrong, cat got your tongue? You were quite chatty when you were gossiping."
"You, you just can't keep your mouth shut, can you?"
Yao Le'er was exasperated.
"Fine, fine, I won't say anything then!"
Xiao Miaomiao pretended to zip her lips.
Xu Bin understood their dynamic; Yao Le'er was the more dominant one, always in control. His impression of her as a shy, studious girl was wrong. Xiao Miaomiao was the more innocent and cute one.
Xu Bin was curious but saw Xiao Miaomiao's subtle signal, so he didn't press further.
Yao Nan came downstairs in jeans and a short-sleeved shirt, looking fresh and clean. The little drama ended, and the four of them took a taxi to a small hotpot restaurant farther away. It wasn't a chain restaurant, so the decor was simple, but the food was cheap and good.
They ordered the usual copper pot with mutton, nothing special. The price was about the same as elsewhere, and the meat was frozen, so there wasn't much difference.
After ordering, Yao Le'er couldn't help but ask, "Why did we come all the way here? There's a place downstairs that's just as good and cheaper than taking a taxi."
Yao Nan blushed slightly and happily said, "This place has the best chili oil. Your sister's husband remembers I like it here, so we always come here for hotpot."
Yao Le'er was taken aback but didn't say anything. Xiao Miaomiao covered her face, "Sister, think of us single high school girls. Eating dinner and seeing you two lovey-dovey is just mean."
Things got even worse when Xu Bin returned with a box, placing it on the table.
"What's this?"
Yao Le'er leaned in to look.
Yao Nan opened it, laughing, "It's mustard-styled sheep intestine from a nearby shop. It's so good, and your sister's husband always buys it for me."
Yao Le'er and Xiao Miaomiao exchanged looks of disbelief, but Yao Nan enjoyed her food, her face radiating happiness.
After a satisfying meal and some shopping, Xiao Miaomiao said she wanted to go home. Her eyes flickered with a hidden message that Xu Bin understood.
What was a good wingman? Yao Nan volunteered, "Honey, why don't you take her home? It's not safe for a girl to go alone."
Yao Le'er's eyes widened, but before she could protest, Xu Bin agreed, "Okay."
Yao Nan, being frugal, suggested using her small electric motorcycle. Xu Bin didn't mind and took the keys. Yao Le'er was anxious but couldn't say much, so she pulled Xiao Miaomiao aside to whisper warnings.
Xu Bin put on his helmet and got on the electric motorcycle. Xiao Miaomiao sat behind him, laughing, "Sister, I'll come again next time. Sister's husband takes me out for big meals, unlike Le'er, who's so stingy."
"I'm not stingy."
Yao Le'er, already nervous, snapped.
"You are. You take me to seafood places but only order seaweed and fish balls made of starch. Last time, you said it was the biggest chain, but it turned out to be Sand County snacks. For Cantonese food, you took me to pork rice..."
"You're cheap, and you deceive people's feelings."
