Chapter 459: Chapter 459 - 453: Is There Some Obsession with Bathing Together…

"Instead of worrying about the rapport between Mr. Jing and Mrs. Jing, why don’t you just count how many years of prison you might face in the future." A man’s voice, extremely cold and indifferent, sounded from the bedroom door.

Shi Dongyang turned his eyes in disbelief and saw Jing Jihan walking out from the bedroom door, immediately collapsing on the spot: "You..."

Jing Jihan did not look at him; instead, his gaze landed on Shi Su after coming out.

The little woman, who had been busy packing things in the bedroom, now held a safety hammer in one hand and a high heel in the other. Her hair was messy, and though she appeared calm, her accelerated breathing betrayed her, clearly showing that subduing a physically capable man wasn’t that easy. Her eyes were fierce and unyielding, and her hair stuck to the side of her neck, embodying a mix of silent resilience and disarray, a stark contrast to the sweet, bashful state she had inside just a moment ago.

Shi Su had already completed the recording of the on-site video segment, and everything from the past ten minutes was sufficient to form a complete piece of evidence to submit to the police.

She met Jing Jihan’s eyes, seeing the gravity within them, understanding that she had been too reckless just now and had stubbornly wanted to solve the problem herself. Despite him giving her enough trust and space without forcibly intervening, it was evident he was displeased.

Shi Su simply stood where she was without making a sound, maintaining her previous stance to prevent Shi Dongyang from suddenly getting up while she wasn’t paying attention.

After confirming that she was only slightly disheveled and otherwise unhurt, Jing Jihan finally glanced at Shi Dongyang.

Shi Dongyang hastily turned away, trying to avoid Jing Jihan’s gaze, as just one aloof and indifferent downward glance from the man imparted a silent but severe and sharp sense of oppression.

That glance was more knee-weakening than the ’weapon’ in Shi Su’s hand.

The police’s knock on the door had quickly arrived, with Shi Su holding onto Shi Dongyang, making it inconvenient for her to move. Jing Jihan stepped past the two to open the door.

Upon rushing in and seeing the scene inside, especially the lady who had called the police standing unharmed, brandishing a hammer, a few officers were immediately taken aback—

...

Shi Dongyang was taken away, and Shi Su promptly handed over the surveillance video to them.

To cooperate with the investigation and interrogation, she also got into the police car to explain the situation at the scene.

When she got off the police car, she saw Jing Jihan standing by the car, accompanied by someone who seemed to be a leader from the police station who had deliberately come over. She wasn’t sure what they talked about earlier, but upon seeing Shi Su, that leader looked at her with admiration and politely nodded, "Mrs. Jing, please rest assured. Regarding the attempted offender, the police will determine the severity of the circumstances based on all the evidence provided at the scene. We have understood Shi Dongyang’s situation, and if he intends to appeal against the sentencing and hire a lawyer, we will have to bother Mr. and Mrs. Jing to testify in court. As for the lawyer, Mr. Jing has already arranged it."

Shi Su understood that someone like Shi Dongyang, even if imprisoned, wouldn’t stay put and would certainly find ways to appeal and cause trouble.

She nodded, "Thank you, officer."

The person courteously smiled again and then respectfully nodded at Jing Jihan, "Well then, Mr. Jing, we’ll first transport him back and contact you later."

As two vehicles with flashing red and blue police lights drove away from the apartment complex entrance, Shi Su turned around to face Jing Jihan, saying nothing but merely looked up at him.

Although the man remained mostly silent, even the jawline that she could see when she looked up carried a hint of coldness.

"Are you really not afraid of dying?" He finally glanced at her, his gaze like frost and snow, very cold, yet helplessly restraining that chill because the person in front of him was her.

"I know it was indeed risky just now, but backing him down wasn’t my goal. Perhaps the situation with the Chu father and son inspired me. People like Shi Dongyang possess too many uncertainties, and the Imperial Capital the Shi Family is currently complex due to disputes over inheritance. Inevitably, I could get entangled in it. The best way is to let him serve time, at least for a few years, so he can’t come out and cause trouble again, and I can have some peace. Anyway, he did harbor malicious intentions towards me, so it’s not unjust at all."

Jing Jihan raised his hand and smoothed her hair that had been messed up by Shi Dongyang.

The man’s gaze towards her was calm.

But Shi Su could clearly feel his anger.

She raised her hand and gently tugged his sleeve, looking at him innocently like Shi Mianmian, "The situation was urgent just now, and indeed, my actions were risky and not thorough, not fully considering the dangers and consequences if things got out of control. I promise I won’t do that again. If anything happens, I’ll discuss it with you. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll hide behind you to ensure I’m completely unharmed!"

After finishing, she tilted her head and gave the man a peck on the jaw, "Really, it won’t happen again!"

Jing Jihan brushed her hair, seemingly a mix of exasperation and helplessness at her sudden childlike act of taking the blame and making amends, with a low sigh, "Does it hurt?"

"It’s nothing, maybe just lost a few strands of hair. My hair volume is good; I’m not lacking those few strands." Shi Su snuggled into his embrace, "I’ve mostly packed up my things, going back to the set this afternoon, and when we return to Nanshan Villa tonight, I’ll make you egg-braised noodles~"

Seeing his indifferent silence, Shi Su quickly raised two fingers, "I’ll add two eggs for you!"

She continued, "And two side dishes, I’ll cook tonight..."

Yet the man remained expressionless and unmoved.

Shi Su simply leaned into his embrace, her finger poking at his chest softly, "I’ll join you for a bath tonight..."

Sure enough, the man finally moved, raising his hand to hold hers, leaning down to kiss her hairline, then dropping a kiss onto the top of her head, his heart aching even if only a few strands were lost.

Shi Su looked up and smiled blissfully, "So does Mr. Jing have an obsession with bathing together? Or have been long drooling over my egg-braised noodles?"

The man’s kiss descended onto her lips, his voice hoarse and low, "Both."

The next day.

Shi Su spent an entire day on set making up scenes, finally wrapping up the key close-up shots that required her to reshoot by the evening, around seven o’clock.

After finishing, she drove directly to the commercial street in downtown Jiang City, circling near a row of high-end design centers for formal attire and selected one to enter.

Mr. Jing had arranged a family banquet for the weekend, which, though called a family banquet, was said to have invited quite a few friends and family.

According to Mrs. Jing, Mr. Jing intended to formally introduce Shi Su and Mianmian to friends and family, to have the child welcomed ceremoniously and warmly into the family, and to introduce all the friends and family to his little great-granddaughter. This family banquet was almost staged with the grandeur of Mr. Jing’s eightieth birthday bash in the past, not at all modest.

As the granddaughter-in-law of the Jing Family and Mianmian’s mother, Shi Su naturally needed to dress decently and appropriately, but it shouldn’t be like her usual attire for commercial evening parties outside, so she needed to order a set.
