Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 731: Chapter 725: Jing Yuan’s Thoughts

“Everyone’s gone, what are you still looking at? If you’re really that reluctant, go catch up to him and tell him you love him. But do you dare?” The person who had been hiding in the shadows approached Jing Yuan after Jing Xin left and spoke those somber words.

“Whew, you scared me to death! When did you get here, Second Brother?” Jing Yuan clutched her chest, breathing heavily.

‘I’ve been here since you came in.’ Jing Peng looked up at the retreating figure and spoke slowly.

“Ah.” Jing Yuan was startled. Did that mean he had heard everything she said to her big brother? Had he also seen the expression on her face and the thoughts she had just now? That must have been why he said those things to her.

“That’s right. I saw everything. I never thought that my little sister could be such a lovesick fool.” Jing Peng’s thoughts went to her shy and blushing face just moments before, making him feel murderous.

“Second Brother, you…” Jing Yuan didn’t dare to look up at her second brother. People said that he was a useless person, but she knew that wasn’t true. He had a heavy heart and she was even afraid of him. He didn’t have the same gentleness as her big brother; he was somewhat gloomy. But he was good-looking too.

...
“Go back to your room. If you dare meet with Big Brother again, I’ll make sure you understand the consequences.” Jing Peng reached out and stroked her head, specifically where Jing Xin had just touched her, as if he was trying to erase something.

“Okay.” Jing Yuan was somewhat afraid of Jing Peng at that moment, so she didn’t dare disobey him.

“Mmm, that’s better.” Jing Peng reached out to her face, picked up a lock of her hair, and pinned it behind her ear. He then brushed her earlobe with his hand, but the movement was so quick that it seemed accidental, giving Jing Yuan a strange feeling in her heart.

Jing Yuan looked up at Jing Peng but couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Touching her earlobe, she returned to her room puzzled. After watching Jing Yuan leave, Jing Peng didn’t stay long either and walked away.

After leaving the Jing family, Jing Xin planned to return to the city to see his wife and son. However, he hadn’t walked far when he suddenly stopped and hid in the corner of a nearby wall.

“How’s it going with the matter?” A man’s voice came out.

“That old bastard is too cautious and won’t tell me anything. So, I haven’t found anything yet.” Jing Xin heard Mrs. Jing’s voice.

Jing Xin raised an eyebrow, thinking that there seemed to be quite a few secrets in the Jing family. Jing Xin observed the surroundings, which explained why they dared to have a rendezvous here. This was an uninhabited house, far from the Jing’s residence, and located in a remote area that nobody came to. If it weren’t for him wanting to take a shortcut, he would have never come this way.

How fortunate he was to come this way. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known about this “play” involving his adopted mother.

“We need to hurry up. We can’t drag this out any longer. If Jing Xiaonan and Jing Xin find out, we won’t be able to find anything.” The man spoke, having heard Mrs. Jing.

“Don’t worry, I’ll speed up the process.” Mrs. Jing’s current appearance was completely different from the one in the city or when she first met Jing Xin. He wondered what this matter was that made them so concerned.

“Good. What’s Peng’er up to lately?” The mysterious man asked after receiving Mrs. Jing’s response.

“Peng’er has been learning to do business outside recently. Don’t worry, he’s doing well.” Mrs. Jing’s tone softened when thinking of her son.

“That’s good. If there’s anything in the future, don’t come looking for me like this. Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain if we are discovered.” The man’s indifferent voice sounded again.

“But I miss you.” Mrs. Jing’s coquettish voice abruptly entered Jing Xin’s ears, startling him so much that he almost collapsed. What a quick change.

“What, that old bastard Jing Xiaonan hasn’t been satisfying you?” The mysterious man reached out and grabbed Mrs. Jing’s chin.
