Chapter 257: Chapter 258 Looking at Each Other in Blank Dismay

Song Xiaodong had initially thought that the person entering was Song Xiaoru. Getting caught by his sister would be embarrassing, but certainly not a big deal.

But standing at the door was another Miao Xuanxuan!

No, that’s not right! There’s one on the bed and another standing at the door, so obviously one is Miao Qingqing and the other is Miao Xuanxuan.

Now that both of them were only wearing bikinis, Song Xiaodong really couldn’t tell which one was Miao Xuanxuan and which was Miao Qingqing.

Not only was Song Xiaodong baffled all of a sudden, but the one lying on the bed and the other standing at the door were both completely confused as well. With everyone silent, the room’s quietness reached an extremely eerie level.

Song Xiaodong’s brain whirred rapidly, glancing back and forth between the one on the bed and the one at the door, and then suddenly, he understood.

The one on the bed was Miao Qingqing, not Miao Xuanxuan at all. This room must have been where Miao Qingqing stayed last night, and during a visit to the bathroom in the middle of the night, Song Xiaodong had directly walked in.

And Miao Qingqing had been half-asleep at the time, completely unaware that someone else had joined her in bed. Since Song Xiaodong hadn’t dared to do anything, they both spent the whole night without disturbing each other.

No wonder she reacted so strongly in the morning, because she wasn’t Miao Xuanxuan.

Now Song Xiaodong was really bewildered. The previous evening, no, after midnight, it was only right to say before he fell asleep, he was entangled with Miao Xuanxuan, but upon waking up, he found himself tangled with Miao Qingqing. This truth was way too scandalous.

Miao Xuanxuan was the first to snap out of it. She turned and slammed the door shut and then, already fuming with anger, Song Xiaodong silently grimaced to himself. Just as he opened his mouth to explain, Miao Xuanxuan pointed at Song Xiaodong and accused, "Well, look at you two, so bold, sneaking around together like this. Miao Qingqing, didn’t you say you didn’t ’do it’ with Dongzi? Now I catch you in the act, what do you have to say for yourself?"

"I... Xuanxuan, listen to me. It’s not what you think at all. I don’t even know how it happened; this jerk just came onto my bed."

Miao Xuanxuan snorted, crossed her arms behind her back, and puffed out her chest, saying, "You don’t know? Hmmph, I just saw you kissing, and you still won’t admit it? Miao Qingqing, you’re really being stubborn here. Do I need to watch you go at it before you’ll admit it?"

Miao Qingqing felt utterly at a loss for words. It was one thing for Miao Xuanxuan to see her and Song Xiaodong in the same bed, but what was worse was getting caught while he was actually kissing her. Anyone would have thought the same as Miao Xuanxuan did.

"Song Xiaodong, you bastard!" Miao Xuanxuan glared at Song Xiaodong and said fiercely, "Now that you and Miao Qingqing have gotten this far, you owe us an explanation. Let me tell you, we Miao family members are not to be bullied, we’re not to be toyed with, and don’t think you can hit it and quit it without consequence."

Right now, Song Xiaodong was completely stupefied, thoroughly bewildered by Miao Xuanxuan. Shouldn’t she be furiously settling scores with him? Why did it seem like she was taking up for Miao Qingqing?

Miao Qingqing stood there with her mouth agape, also overpowered by Miao Xuanxuan’s presence. It felt as if she had done something wrong and was caught red-handed. At that moment, she really wished she could just disappear into a crack in the floor—it was embarrassingly humiliating.

The best way to deal with a woman’s embarrassment and awkwardness is to deflect. Even someone like Miao Qingqing, a top executive type of woman, couldn’t escape this instinct. With a mix of shame and anger glaring at Song Xiaodong, she said, "You bastard, you better explain this to me right away."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, Miao Qingqing asking him to explain was practically admitting that their relationship here was unclear; how could a woman become so foolish at times like these.

But what mattered the most was, how could he explain and to whom? He had been rolling in the sheets with Miao Xuanxuan before going to sleep last night, could he now say he mistook Miao Qingqing for Miao Xuanxuan in his drunkenness?

That wouldn’t just enrage Miao Qingqing, but Miao Xuanxuan would tear him apart as well.

"Hey, Song Xiaodong, don’t you think you owe us Miao family members an explanation?" Miao Xuanxuan glared at Song Xiaodong, her eyes filled with a killing aura, which made Song Xiaodong’s heart pound uncontrollably.

Song Xiaodong coughed dryly and looked at Miao Xuanxuan with a pained expression, saying, "Xuanxuan, didn’t we both drink too much last night? I also don’t know how I ended up sleeping in this room."

Miao Xuanxuan snorted and said, "That’s not the point, I’m asking you what happened just now, don’t tell me you guys slept together and nothing happened."

"It was this guy who forced me just now, did you come over because you heard me calling out? I only found out he was in my bed this morning," Miao Qingqing quickly explained.

"Oh... you’re saying last night you both didn’t know there was someone else in the bed? Hehe... do you think I would believe that?"

Miao Qingqing frantically said, "It’s true."

Miao Xuanxuan glared and said, "Fine, even if I believe that you didn’t know there was someone else in the bed last night, what about just now? Was it an unexpected surprise, and then you couldn’t help but want to do it? I’m telling you, Miao Qingqing, could you please keep your moaning down? This isn’t your own house, you know. I could hear everything clearly from the next room."

"Moaning..." Miao Qingqing’s face turned pitch black. She had clearly been struggling and yelling out, how did it turn into moaning.

Miao Xuanxuan took two steps forward and said, "Song Xiaodong, I’m warning you, now that you’ve done this with Miao Qingqing, you’ll have to take responsibility for her in the future. If you dare to treat her badly, I won’t let you off."

Song Xiaodong frowned and hurriedly said, "Xuanxuan, we can’t just rashly matchmake here. Qingqing and I truly have nothing between us, I just mistook her for..."

Miao Xuanxuan’s expression changed, and she immediately interrupted Song Xiaodong, exclaiming, "Mistook her for what? Don’t look for any excuses. Are you still a man? Brave enough to do it but not to own up?"

Miao Qingqing’s face darkened, feeling that things were really getting out of hand, and said, "Alright, alright, we can handle this ourselves, you don’t need to worry about it."

"That would be for the best." Miao Xuanxuan herself felt a bit guilty, as she caught the implication in Song Xiaodong’s words just now and didn’t dare to press further.

"Hey, Miao Xuanxuan, don’t you think the way you’re dressed... isn’t very appropriate?" Miao Qingqing looked at Miao Xuanxuan and suddenly realized a problem.

Miao Xuanxuan looked down at her bikini and was momentarily speechless.
