Chapter 0033: The Sister-in-Law's Cover-up
However, this time, Li Bin had no regrets, nor did he have any intention of starting over with another social death rebirth.
Li Bin knew that the relationship between him and his sister-in-law, Wen Lan, would one day have to be brought out into the open!
Wen Lan, too, would one day have to face the fact that he was her brother-in-law.
Although his bold and reckless act just now had caused their intimacy to drop back to a familiar 69, a full 20-point decrease, Wen Lan now understood his feelings. Moreover, the kiss from moments ago was Wen Lan's first kiss. That kiss might have already planted a seed in Wen Lan's heart!
Intimacy could be increased again, but for this hurdle that had to be crossed, he might not be able to perform so well the next time.
As long as Wen Lan didn't resist him, his opportunities would only grow!
After all, they lived under the same roof, and there were often times when a man and a woman would be alone together!
As the saying goes, familiarity breeds affection. Li Bin refused to believe that his sister-in-law could reject him once, and then a second, or even a third time!
...
"Click, click, click..."
The sound of the garage door opening echoed. Li Bin quickly glanced at his watch. It was already 5 PM without him realizing it.
His mother-in-law and his wife, Wen Wan, returned home one after another.
Li Bin, somewhat nervous, walked downstairs and stole a glance outside Wen Lan's room, his heart filled with unease.
It had been satisfying, but if his sister-in-law, Wen Lan, couldn't come to terms with it, or if she told his parents-in-law or his wife, Wen Wan, out of guilt, then he would be done for!
If it weren't for the system that allowed him to be reborn after a social death, Li Bin really wouldn't have dared to face his sister-in-law and the rest of the family.
Just thinking about it was tense and thrilling.
The door to Wen Lan's room was tightly shut. Li Bin secretly listened for a moment, but there was no sound from within. Only then did he walk downstairs, his mind heavy with worry.
Given Wen Lan's personality, Li Bin could actually rest easy.
Wen Lan cared about her reputation, was proud, but also a bit timid and weak.
If this matter were to be spoken of, it would not only harm Li Bin but would also be extremely embarrassing for herself.
After all, she had been the one to initiate it.
"Wow! Honey, what's gotten into you today? Why are you dressed so handsomely? Today... you seem like a different person, all of a sudden... so much more handsome!"
As soon as Li Bin came downstairs, his wife, Wen Wan, looked at him in his new outfit with surprise and exclaimed.
Li Bin glanced at himself, only then remembering he was wearing the new clothes Wen Lan had bought him.
He had to admit, his sister-in-law had good taste. This new suit made him look much more energetic the moment he put it on.
Added to that was the 5-point increase in his appearance he'd received from taking his sister-in-law's first kiss, so it was no wonder his wife, Wen Wan, said he had become more handsome.
When he looked in the mirror earlier, Li Bin also felt he had become much better-looking.
"Oh? Really? Are you serious? If you like this look, darling, I'll buy a few more sets of casual clothes like this." Li Bin gave Wen Wan a playful wink and struck a pose, showing off.
"Huh? When did you buy these new clothes?" Wen Wan suddenly noticed that she had never seen the clothes Li Bin was wearing before. They were brand new, and their style was completely different from what he usually wore.
"Ah? I bought them today. There was no one home to cook, so I went with..." Li Bin said to his wife, Wen Wan, trying to act natural.
But in reality, his heart was already pounding with panic.
It was his first time cheating on his wife behind her back, and Li Bin instinctively felt the guilt of a thief.
After all, he had just done something wrong to his wife with her own sister. Pretending to be natural now was something Li Bin wasn't quite used to.
He was even more conflicted about whether to tell his wife that he had gone out to buy the clothes with his sister-in-law, Wen Lan.
"Brother-in-law, didn't you know I was home too? You went to the mall and didn't even take me with you? How could you? I was stuck at home having to order takeout!! How awful!"
Just as Li Bin was hesitating, unsure of how to answer, Wen Lan suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs. She walked down naturally while cutting in and speaking.
Li Bin was stunned for a moment, immediately realizing that his sister-in-law was covering up for him and reminding him how to answer.
And from the sound of it, Wen Lan was very clearly intent on hiding the fact that they had gone out together from Wen Wan.
"Ah? Wen Lan, you were home but you didn't come out. How was I supposed to know you were here? I thought you had gone out with Xiao Ting..." Li Bin turned back to look at his sister-in-law, Wen Lan, a little awkwardly.
What Li Bin didn't expect was that his sister-in-law's intimacy level had actually recovered! And it was even higher than it had been before the drop!
