She could deceive everyone about Chen Jingyi's house not being cleaned up yet, but she couldn't deceive Tang Rao.
You could say she could deceive everyone here, but in front of Tang Rao, if you want to be with him, you have to first learn loyalty.
"Wang Han, as the Family Head's wife, could you really be confused about this?"
Tang Rao left a remark and headed directly to Chen Jingyi's place.
To Wang Han, it was that light comment from Tang Rao that tore apart the disguise she had struggled to maintain.
Her once positive and progressive image lost credibility when fairness was not upheld in just one matter.
Chen Jingyi was in a deep sleep at midnight and instantly woke up upon hearing footsteps. When she heard knocking at the door, she quickly jumped up from the bed.
Luckily, she had slept in her clothes, and she also felt fortunate for not keeping Rao Linger too long at night.
"Tomorrow, I'll ask her to arrange a change of place for you."
Before Chen Jingyi even asked Tang Rao for clarity, Tang Rao already confessed to Chen Jingyi.
"What change of place?"
Chen Jingyi pretended to know nothing.
She initially thought Wang Han's actions were actually directed by Tang Rao, but seeing Tang Rao come to explain, she discarded that idea immediately.
"This place is not clean. You're someone from beside my mother; can't you see the death energy inside?"
Tang Rao was fairly aware of the abilities a maid beside Fang Fang should have.
"I thought none of you could see the death energy in the house; turns out you knew."
Chen Jingyi was easy to talk to, provided no one offends her. If someone provoked her first or stirred trouble, she wouldn't hold back.
"I only found out just now."
Speaking truthfully, Tang Rao sought out Chen Jingyi as soon as he knew, showing that he was quite concerned about Chen Jingyi's matters.
"No problem, we're just going through the motions anyway; it won't interfere."
The more Chen Jingyi said this, the more Tang Rao felt a deep, indescribable discomfort; what was Chen Jingyi seeking from Tang Rao other than being bullied by his women? Does she even care about her dignity?
"Maybe just settle at my place today and arrange a new place for you tomorrow?"
Tang Rao said this, altering the temporary stay here to staying at his place.
Looking at the time, it's almost dawn; going to Tang Rao's place now would mean not getting a good sleep, and Chen Jingyi didn't want to keep changing places like this.
"You go back; let's talk tomorrow."
Chen Jingyi's refusal put Tang Rao in a difficult spot. Being rejected by two women, since when did he become so disliked?
"No problem, I can just stay in the neighboring room."
With that, Tang Rao indeed walked towards the neighboring room.
The neighboring room was where Ling Er was staying.
Chen Jingyi had promised Rao Linger she could stay there but forgot to mention it wasn't guaranteed to be undiscovered.
"The next room is for the staff to stay; how can you stay there? Let me stay there, and you stay in my room?"
It was appropriate for Chen Jingyi and Rao Linger to stay in one room since they were both women; asking Rao Linger to stay with a man seemed too unkind.
"No need. You're a young lady; why stay in the neighboring room? You stay here; that place has a gloomy environment. I'm fine going there."
Once Tang Rao made a decision, not even a team of horses could stop him. Chen Jingyi was so anxious, worrying about Rao Linger's concern.
"Fine, I'll go stay at your place."
Chen Jingyi gritted her teeth and said it; she'd never considered herself noble-hearted but had a revelation at that moment.
"Figured it out? Or what?"
Tang Rao had called for so long, and Chen Jingyi didn't follow along. Yet when he mentioned staying next door, she hurriedly agreed to stay at Tang Rao's place; was she worried he'd suffer in a less favorable environment?
Was she feeling sorry for Tang Rao?
"Come on, even before entering, you already know how to care for your husband; you're a good wife."
Tang Rao was cheeky enough to almost pull the skin off his old face.
"Stop flattering yourself; we know what kind of person you are, don't we?"
Chen Jingyi spoke with the word 'we,' indicating it's not only her opinion.
"Wait, that's only your opinion; it probably has nothing to do with others."
Since they all had families, certain principles had to be clear between them.
What could Chen Jingyi say? Other than a simple 'Oh,' she didn't want to say more.
Chen Jingyi followed Tang Rao to his abode.
The Family Head's treatment certainly was better than others. Though others lived in houses not considered bad, Tang Rao's was definitely the most luxurious. The once minimalist man had now embraced luxury.
"Truly worthy of being the Family Head, look at this place; it's more grand than others'. "
Chen Jingyi's words were sour indeed, but they were quite true.
"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm quite conservative. Before we're married, it's best we sleep separately. If I sleep with you, they might criticize me for being irresponsible."
Did Chen Jingyi want to sleep with Tang Rao? Please, look at what kind of person he is?
Well, Chen Jingyi admitted Tang Rao's looks were decent, but his personality wasn't great. Nonetheless, she wasn't shameless. Even if Tang Rao wanted something to happen, she wouldn't consent.
Chen Jingyi slept in the wing room for just one night, and she fell in love with all the arrangements in Tang Rao's room.
The latex pillow, latex mattress, and natural silk quilt inside were things she had never seen or used before. After one night's trial, her sleep quality improved.
"Hey, are you awake? It's broad daylight outside."
Tang Rao called from outside while Chen Jingyi was still daydreaming in bed.
"Wouldn't you fancy our wing room and want to stay often?"
With no sound inside, Tang Rao called until he brought Chen Jingyi back from her fantasies.
Her first words upon coming out were, "Really, can I always stay here?"
Wishful thinking!
If anyone could stay long-term in the wing room, wouldn't Tang Rao's few small rooms be swarmed by his former women?
"I was just joking, don't take it to heart."
Tang Rao wasn't heartless; he treated all women the same.
"Though if you like the stuff inside, I can give you a set."
A set?
Chen Jingyi was about to ask for it but didn't expect Tang Rao to offer first.
"I didn't ask; you offered it yourself, so don't blame me for accepting."
She said worried Tang Rao might regret it, adding, "Remember what you say, and mean it. When I move to the new place, I expect to see those things."
Well, Tang Rao had plenty in stock; such things were insignificant to him.
