Chapter 404: 409 Dragon and Phoenix Bring Good Fortune_1

"Heh..." A scoff escaped from Lin Xiangwan, increasing in its frostiness. "I haven’t even begun my investigation, and you’re already making excuses and arguments as though you’re guilty, right?"

Qin Muchuan’s brows were furrowed as if he was a hairy caterpillar. Despite his frustration, he didn’t dare show any displeasure to his wife. He maintained a weak smile. "How can that be? I didn’t mean that. What I meant was, the cleaning staff must be women. It’s pretty normal for them to accidentally lose a hair or two during their work, right? So, I wanted to remind you in advance, just in case...you misunderstand. You agree, right?"

"Don’t worry, I have sharp eyes. I am considerate of my husband, and I am a reasonable woman too. I won’t let a guilty person escape but I also wouldn’t wrongly accuse an innocent one. If you haven’t been sneaky behind me, how could I wrongly accuse you? Surely I wouldn’t deliberately offend you - make you upset, and then carelessly go out and keep a multitude of women, right?" Lin Xiangwan stated clearly.

Qin Muchuan secretly let out a sigh of relief. "Great, my dear, it’s good you understand this."

"What?" Lin Xiangwan’s eyes narrowed, she struck an intense gaze at him. "So, your plan is, if I wrongly accuse you, you’ll retaliate by keeping a whole string of lovers against me?"

"No...No..." Qin Muchuan denied panic-strickenly. "I wouldn’t dare think like that!"

"Then why did you say it was good that I understand?" Lin Xiangwan pointed at her nose, asking him displeasedly. "This is clearly a threat, isn’t it?"

"What j-j-joke are you making?" This time, Qin Muchuan was truly stuttering, his stutter uncontrollable.

Lin Xiangwan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. It was fun to be able to exercise her authority. It felt great!

If she didn’t enjoy this moment thoroughly, then when?

"Hmm..." She continued to keep a serious face. "You’d better watch your words then, so you won’t give me a chance to take advantage of you. Right?"

Qin Muchuan trailed behind his wife, suppressing a self-mocking smirk and respectfully replied. "My love, your reminder is very accurate - truer words were never said. Some things do inevitably slip out of one’s mouth. I’ll be more vigilant in the future!"

He too was laughing inside. The feeling of listening to his wife’s words, the feeling of being teased by his wife was quite nice, in fact.

All these years, he was the one who teased others, not a soul dared to tease him.

Letting his wife lead the conversation and finding a way to match her - It felt good, very good!

Soon, they arrived at the master bedroom of the villa.

It was the room where Lin Xiangwan and Qin Muchuan were staying this time. The room faced the sun, and had a large floor-to-ceiling window.

The window was closed, with the air conditioner running in the room. "Why didn’t you open the window?"

"The air here is very humid. If we open the window, the bedding will feel damp pretty quickly, so we usually keep the window closed," Qin Muchuan explained.

"Oh..." Lin Xiangwan nodded.

Qin Muchuan continued. "All the wood here is of excellent quality, especially the wardrobe, which is made of Dalbergia."

"Oh..." Hearing this, Lin Xiangwan reached out and touched it.

The wood was very hard and naturally shiny. Although she didn’t understand different types of wood, she could tell from the delicate touch that it was high-quality. "Honey, don’t you think it’s a little wasteful to put such good furniture here without anyone living in it?"

"It won’t always be unoccupied!" Qin Muchuan replied.

Lin Xiangwan sprung to life as if she’d been zapped with electricity. She latched onto his comment. "See, I knew that someone lived here. You said no one did, but now you’ve slipped up, haven’t you?"

"I’m dizzy!" A helpless Qin Muchuan closed his eyes, cursing his mind and mouth. Why was he so stupid? Why was he always saying the wrong things?

He was now beginning to doubt himself. Was he always so foolish in the past?

During his high school graduation exam, was it a divine intervention that allowed him to score full marks in math, 145 in Chinese, and ace English?

Otherwise, he couldn’t explain why he kept making mistakes in his conversations?

Lin Xiangwan narrowed her eyes, pointing towards his nose. "You see, you see, you cannot even make yourself clear, can you?"

Qin Muchuan touched his nose, his voice pleading a bit. "Dear, how about we start inspecting the room right away? What do you think? If you really find something, it will not be too late for you to criticize me, right?"

Pretending to consider his remark, Lin Xiangwan nodded. "When you put it that way, there is some scientific truth to it. At least this way, we can save time and work more efficiently. If you indeed have anything to hide, I’ll reprimand you all at once."

"Yes...yes..." Qin Muchuan dared not say anything else, he just followed his wife.

Lin Xiangwan reached the side of the bed and first checked the sides of the bed head.

There were only bedside cabinets on both sides of the bed head, they were also made purely out of wood. The nostalgic color made it hard to estimate their age. But, the design had a classical flair. There were spots where the paint had chipped off.

Lin Xiangwan squatted down to feel the areas where the paint had come off. "Why is the paint off here?"

"Oh...this is to match the room’s design and purposely create a nostalgic feel," Is what Qin Muchuan answered. Afterward, he quickly closed his mouth, not uttering a single extra word.

"Oh, you intentionally created some fake antiques, right?" Lin Xiangwan understood and nodded.

"Well, if you put it that way, it’s correct!" Qin Muchuan immediately closed his mouth. He didn’t dare to say that these bedside cabinets were from the Republic of China era, from the house of a warlord. The nostalgic style was intentionally created by the former owners, it definitely wasn’t his doing!

These bedside cabinets were genuine antiques!

Lin Xiangwan proceeded to the bottom of the bed. The huge bed seemed fine, especially the dragon design on the headboard. However, when she looked further down she noticed something and her expression turned sour. "Why is the dragon tightly pressing against the phoenix? What does this mean?"

Qin Muchuan smirked, casting a suggestive glance at her. "Wife, you should understand the symbolism here, right?"

"Indecent!" Lin Xiangwan harshly blurted out the words and shot him a sharp glance. "Why would they carve these on a bed? Seeing these everyday, I really question what you think about. Don’t you have any healthy thoughts?"

Qin Muchuan shook his head, still maintaining a friendly smile. "Dear, you definitely can’t blame me for this. If there’s anyone to blame, blame the designer, wouldn’t you say?"

Lin Xiangwan, who appeared very confused, stared at him. Her finely-shaped eyebrows were furrowed more intensely than his caterpillar-like ones.
