Chapter 406: 411 Severe Torture2_1

Lin Xiangwan wanted to get up from the floor.

"Don’t move yet!" Qin Muchuan stopped her. "Wife, please don’t move yet!"

"Why?" Lin Xiangwan glared at him and challenged his decision.

"I want to investigate the issue you suggested, to see if you are right!" Qin Muchuan declared seriously.

Genuine gold fears no fire. Mostly, her ideas were right so she wasn’t afraid of his scrutiny. "You can check for yourself if I am right," she suggested.

Qin Muchuan moved her hand aside and examined the lacquer surface himself.

The old lacquer should have been smoother and more wear-resistant than modern ones. Under constant use, it is plausible that the lacquer would be worn away.

Qin Muchuan smirked, ready to admit that maybe his wife was right.

Lin Xiangwan turned to him again. "Are you going to let go of me now?" she asked.

"Wait a bit more, let me investigate further!"

Studying historical issues was much more interesting than being interrogated by her.

"If you want to research, go ahead by yourself, let me go first!" Lin Xiangwan insisted.

Qin Muchuan, however, was enjoying this historical journey and the feeling of having a beauty in his arms.

Therefore, he was reluctant to let her go. "Wife, I must admit, your reasoning is pretty convincing!"

"Hmph..." Lin Xiangwan snorted in response. "I knew it, now you’re admitting it too, right?"

"What’s to admit? These bedside tables were bought at an auction by me. They were old as I told you, indeed from the time of the China period, used by some warlord back in the day." Qin Muchuan found himself obligated to explain.

If he didn’t explain, his wife might skin him alive.

A bit of drama was fun and entertaining, and a minor misunderstanding was tolerable.

However, this was a matter of principle. He couldn’t just accept everything she suggested, right?

"Antiques?" Lin Xiangwan finally asked, seeking clarity.

"Yes, antiques!" He nodded in agreement.

"Really?" She asked, uncertain of his claim.

"Yes, really. I even have the document from the auction company. Would you like to see it?" Qin Muchuan offered.

Lin Xiangwan was not an easy person to deal with. She liked to dig until she got to the bottom of any issue. "Yes, show me!"

"Wait a minute; there’s a photo on my phone!" He pulled out his latest model iPhone, found the file and photos related to the antique furniture.

Lin Xiangwan took a look and nodded repeatedly. "Not bad, pictures don’t lie, you passed the test!"

Qin Muchuan pulled back his phone and gave a wry smile. "Clearing my wife’s doubts is not as easy as it seems!"

"Ha ha..." Having finally dismissed her worries, Lin Xiangwan gave him a pleased smile. "Alright then, let go of me. I need to get up!"

Qin Muchuan wasn’t quite ready to let her go and gently held her closer, locking her in his grasp. "Wife, let’s investigate together. Let’s see how the lacquer surface got worn out, shall we?"

Lin Xiangwan forcefully pushed him away. "Annoying, can’t you be serious for once!"

Qin Muchuan eyed her earnestly. "My wife, I assure you, I’m quite serious..."

Lin Xiangwan gave him a look in return. "Your so-called serious thoughts are hardly normal right now!"

"Wife, you’re seriously wronging me. If a man didn’t have such thoughts, would he even be considered normal?" Qin Muchuan argued indignantly.

Lin Xiangwan rolled her eyes, knowing full well that this man could seize any opportunity for his benefit, even if it meant acting shamelessly.

"Get off me. I haven’t finished inspecting yet. I want to continue, stop interrupting me!" Lin Xiangwan pushed him away and made her escape from his embrace.

Qin Muchuan gave a disappointed smile. "Wife, when did you become as nimble as a mouse, making your way through even the smallest cracks?"

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan laughed sarcastically. "Being your wife, I need to acquire all kinds of skills. Otherwise, you’d have me at your full mercy!"

Qin Muchuan chuckled.

Lin Xiangwan continued to check the wardrobe, curious to see its contents.

Qin Muchuan lied on the bed nonchalantly, letting her inspect everything at will.

Indeed, besides the large suitcase that Lin Xiangwan put in this morning, there was nothing else in the wardrobe!

"Hmm..." She nodded in satisfaction. "Well done, this room has passed the inspection!"

"Hehe..." His expression remained stoic.

Lin Xiangwan sat beside him, grabbed his bathrobe collar, and asked, "Now tell me honestly, before I got here, did you specifically ask the cleaning staff to tidy up ?"

Qin Muchuan confessed with a nod. "No one has lived here for a while, so I asked them to do a thorough cleaning and change the bed sheets. It’s nothing unusual, right?"

"Unusual?" She questioned.

"The climate here is quite humid. If the sheets weren’t freshly changed, they would be infested with fungus and mites!"

Lin Xiangwan closed her eyes. "I suppose your explanation is reasonable!"

"Hmmm..."

She got up unwillingly to keep exploring.

He watched her from the bed as she left in haste. "Where are you going?"

"I’m going to check the other rooms. If you let me stay in this room, it must be safe here. But who knows about the other rooms!" Her suspicions were not entirely quelled.

In reality, she had convinced herself. Nevertheless, she was too curious about the place and wanted to take a look at each room to feel satisfied.

Qin Muchuan was feeling tired. Being subjected to such scrutiny by his wife was exhausting!
