Chapter 475: Chapter 476: Adapt to Circumstances

The ones who came in were Song Xiaoru and Miao Xuanxuan, no, I should say it was Miao Qingqing, and the one on the bed was the real Miao Xuanxuan.

Song Xiaoru’s mouth twitched slightly, and she said in a dry voice, "Dongzi, Xuanxuan, you two..."

"Ah! Brother-in-law, what are you doing!" Miao Xuanxuan on the bed let out a loud cry of alarm, and then with a kick, she sent Song Xiaodong flying from the bed to the floor.

"Xuanxuan, are you Xuanxuan?" Song Xiaodong exclaimed in surprise, and this was not feigned. He truly hadn’t recognized that this was Miao Xuanxuan, so his expression was both shocked and horrified.

Wrapped in a blanket, Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes brimmed with tears as she said with a sob in her voice, "Brother-in-law, how could you take advantage of me while I was asleep? You... how can you face my sister after doing this?"

The sobbing of Miao Xuanxuan, the astonishment of Song Xiaodong, plus the two important words "asleep" and "taking advantage," allowed Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru to immediately fill in the blanks about what had happened.

Miao Xuanxuan was tired and had simply come to this room to sleep, since this had been her room before, so it was nothing out of the ordinary to come sleep here out of habit.

Then Song Xiaodong came back and saw Miao Xuanxuan lying on the bed, mistaking her for Miao Qingqing, so he went over to cuddle, and just at this moment, Song Xiaoru and the others returned home and walked in on this scene.

They put two and two together, and Song Xiaodong instantly understood what Miao Xuanxuan meant, scratching his head in embarrassment, saying, "Sorry, sorry, how could I know it was you, Xuanxuan? I thought Qingqing had come back. It’s been several days since I’ve seen her, so I just came straight to the bed, but I had only just touched you when you woke up. That...it’s nothing serious, right?"

Miao Xuanxuan wiped her eyes and said even more aggrieved, "What do you mean it’s nothing? Stinky brother-in-law, you just wanted to take advantage of me, hmm, you big bully, you scoundrel."

Song Xiaoru’s mouth twitched slightly. She didn’t believe that nothing had happened between Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan, because she knew about the history between Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan. If it were really a case of mistaken identity with Miao Xuanxuan unaware, then Miao Xuanxuan would not have shown such an exaggerated response of feeling so aggrieved; it was clearly an act.

But of course, Song Xiaoru would side with her own brother and couldn’t just say it out loud, so her face suddenly darkened as she said, "Dongzi, what exactly happened? If you have been bullying Xuanxuan, I can’t let you off the hook."

Song Xiaodong said with a wronged expression, "This is mine and Qingqing’s room. Whoever lies on the bed, I naturally assume it’s Qingqing. They are twins, how could I tell them apart?"

At this point, Miao Qingqing’s stern face softened as she said, "Let it go, Xuanxuan. Your brother-in-law didn’t really do anything to you. Was it necessary to react so strongly?"

Miao Xuanxuan immediately glared with exaggerated outrage, exclaiming, "Hey, Sister, he came to bed and hugged me dressed like this, and you’re telling me I’m overreacting? Are you even my real sister anymore?"

Miao Qingqing cleared her throat and said, "We’re naturally easy to mistake for one another, but what were you doing sleeping in our bed to begin with? You can’t blame your brother-in-law for that."

"You... you’re really like a woman who has married out, like water that’s been poured away, all set on taking your husband’s side, hmph, I’m so angry I could die," Miao Xuanxuan fumed, leaping out of bed before storming out, stomping up the stairs.

Song Xiaoru shook her head, saying, "I’ll go and talk to Xuanxuan," and left too, closing the door behind her.

Song Xiaodong got up and said awkwardly to Qingqing, "Qingqing, this..."

Miao Qingqing gave Song Xiaodong a cold look, saying, "I know, it’s not your fault. That girl Xuanxuan, really, what was she doing coming to sleep in our room? It’s only natural you made a mistake. Just be more careful next time. At the very least, make sure you recognize the person before you hug them. Otherwise, what would happen?"

"Yes, yes, next time I will definitely ask to make sure. If I don’t, even if I see you lying here, I won’t get into bed."

"Pfft, it’s not that serious. Just ask when you’re not sure. It’s not such a big deal, and it’s definitely better than making a mistake."

"Yes, yes, thank you, dear wife, for being so magnanimous. I thought you were going to be mad at me."

"I’m not the unreasonable, nagging type. Whatever should be done will be done. Okay, I’m going to change my clothes now and check on Xuanxuan later. Once she’s calmed down, you can apologize to her."

"Alright, alright," Song Xiaodong quickly agreed, also letting out a sigh of relief. This incident almost got exposed. Luckily, Miao Xuanxuan reacted quickly and managed to handle it.

Miao Qingqing began changing her clothes, and Song Xiaodong hugged her from behind, saying, "Wife, I really missed you, or else I wouldn’t have been so impatient just now."

Miao Qingqing’s body softened, and she said, "I know, stop it, we’ll talk about it tonight."

"Mmm, then just a kiss for now."

After a brief moment of affection, Song Xiaodong let go of Miao Qingqing, who had changed her clothes and went upstairs to talk to Miao Xuanxuan.

Xiao Yingying slid right in, gave a thumbs-up, and said with a giggly grin, "Impressive, even after Sister Qingqing caught you, you still managed to bluff your way through."

Song Xiaodong wiped away a bead of sweat and said, "At that moment, I really thought it was Qingqing. If Xuanxuan had given me a heads up, I would have been attentive, and naturally, this wouldn’t have happened."

Xiao Yingying chuckled and said, "If she had reminded you, then it wouldn’t have been as thrilling, would it?"

Song Xiaodong then asked, "Right, where did you go just now? I didn’t see you."

"I ran upstairs to water the flowers and turn over the soil for them. I’ve been upstairs the whole time."

"No wonder then. I thought there was no one else at home."

After more than half an hour, Song Xiaodong and Miao Qingqing came downstairs with Miao Xuanxuan.

As soon as Miao Xuanxuan came down, she gave Song Xiaodong a glare. Song Xiaodong hurriedly pretended to chuckle apologetically and said, "Xuanxuan, I’m sorry, okay?"

Miao Xuanxuan tilted her chin up proudly and said, "Hmph, I’m not going to pay attention to you anymore, you stinky brother-in-law."

"Don’t ignore me, okay? If brother-in-law has done something wrong, he’ll accept the punishment. Tell me what you want, and I’ll buy it for you."

"Who cares about your stinky money? Don’t I have my own money to spend?" Miao Xuanxuan said, tilting her chin up again haughtily.

"Alright now, don’t be unforgiving when you’ve won," Miao Qingqing intervened to smooth things over.

Only after putting on quite the act did Miao Xuanxuan wave her fist, looking fierce, and said, "Humph, you’d better remember this, make sure to recognize people properly next time. If you mistake someone else for me again, you’ll see how I’ll deal with you."

Song Xiaodong chuckled inwardly, but outwardly he cooperated with Miao Xuanxuan, saying, "Yes, yes, I will make sure to recognize people next time, and if I step out of line with you again, Xuanxuan, you have every right to deal with me."

"Pfft..." Xiao Yingying, however, couldn’t help laughing out at an inappropriate time.
