Her In-Laws Were Rich and Powerful 3

Tong Lu quickly let go of the strap.

Leng Yejin tied up his nightgown and gazed at her with an arrogant look on his face. His gaze was so dangerous that it was as if it could reduce her to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Tong Lu quickly raised her hand and swore, “I didn’t see anything. Really, I didn’t.”

The fact that she was in such a hurry to profess her innocence gave her away. Leng Yejin shot her a cold glare. “What difference does it make? You have already touched it, anyway!”

He did not bother to be polite at all as he stated the truth, and Tong Lu became so embarrassed that she could not utter a single word.

She widened her eyes. She really wished that she could disappear at that instant. “May I know where Shanshan is?”

“The third room to the left on the first floor…”

“Thank you, good night.”

Before Leng Yejin could finish speaking, Tong Lu shot upstairs. She was in a hurry to flee the scene.

Leng Yejin furrowed his eyebrows a little as he stared after her petite body. The second part of the sentence that he did not have a chance to finish uttering was: “but that’s my room”.

Tong Lu went to the room and hurried to the bathroom. She stood in front of the sink and washed her face.

There was no helping it. She was not so mentally strong that she could stand in front of her brother-in-law right after having sex with him and talk about the fact that she had touched his body. Her cheeks were so flushed right now that it was as if she might burst into flames at any moment, and she was trying to lower her body temperature by washing her face with cold water.

Tong Lu threw herself into the bathtub. She looked around and realized that the bathroom was really huge. It was bigger than both her room and Shanshan’s room combined. The bathtub was really comfortable too, and her body felt like mush as she lay in it. She did not even feel like getting up.

But why was the bathroom full of male toiletries?

*Bang, bang, bang!*

Someone suddenly started knocking on the bathroom door. Tong Lu immediately sunk her entire body and asked anxiously, “Who’s there?”

“Miss Tong, Young Master Jin doesn’t like it when other people use his bathroom, especially his bathtub. He’s a germaphobe.” Secretary Yu’s voice rang out from outside the door. “If you’re inside, please do not use the bathtub.”

Tong Lu was at a loss for words.

“What… What if I’m already using it?”

Tong Lu felt dizzy. This was his bedroom? No wonder the bathroom was filled with male toiletries. Moreover, those toiletries were not brand new. They had obviously been used. There was a glum expression on Tong Lu’s face. She quickly switched on the shower and washed off all the foam on her body. She then…

“Secretary Yu, are you still outside?”

No one responded to her.

“Secretary Yu, I was careless, and I forgot to bring a towel in. Can you get it for me? It’s in the bag beside the bed.”

No one responded.

“Secretary Yu, can you hear me?” She did not know if anyone was outside. If there was no one outside the bathroom, she would just walk out naked to get her towel.

But Tong Lu did not dare to do that. She gritted her teeth. ‘Whatever. I’ve already used his bathtub anyway, so I might as well use his bathrobe too. It’ll just be a crime upon another crime.’

Tong Lu opened the door and looked at the bedroom. Shanshan was already awake, and she was joyfully waving her arms around as she lay in a man’s arms. The man’s expression was not as cold as usual. Instead, there was a loving expression on his face as he sat on the couch. This man was definitely Leng Yejin!

This gave Tong Lu a shock. ‘He had been in the room all along? Shit.’

Leng Yejin narrowed his eyes when he saw that she was wearing his bathrobe. Because of how long the bathrobe was, she was wrapped from neck to toe. If she were to wear a turban right now, she would have looked like an Arabian woman.

“Didn’t I tell you that you’re not allowed to use my stuff?”

“But I forgot to bring a towel in. I called out multiple times, but you didn’t get it for me.”

Shanshan blinked, and she cleverly tried to lighten up the atmosphere. “Mum, look, doesn’t dad look as handsome as he does in photos?”

Tong Lu forced herself to calm down. “Shanshan, he’s not your dad. He’s your uncle.”

Shanshan pouted. “He’s my dad!”

“He’s really not…” Before Tong Lu could finish speaking, Leng Yejin cut her off with a solemn expression. “I’ve already completed the adoption paperwork. From now onwards, Shanshan is my daughter!”
