80s Marriage Swap: My Should-Be-Dead Husband Lives On-Chapter 146: An Unexpected Interloper

Lin Wen walked out of the office, still bewildered.

Hey, wasn’t I supposed to find Vice Jiang to learn about Wei Qing’s situation? How come I didn’t find out anything?

"Lin Wen, someone is looking for you at the door."

Lin Wen replied, "Oh, right away."

When Lin Wen reached the door, he found Wei Qing standing there, and his eyes lit up.

"What brings you here?" Lin Wen looked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing seemed a bit embarrassed: "I came to return something of yours."

It was Lin Wen’s jacket. The last time at the restaurant, he accidentally got his own clothes dirty, so Lin Wen lent him his jacket.

Wei Qing hadn’t returned it until now, and today he came specifically to exchange jackets.

Lin Wen took the jacket, and a faint fragrance immediately wafted into his nose, somewhat like Wei Qing’s scent.

"I washed it for you," Wei Qing said a bit stiffly.

Lin Wen: "Actually, there was no rush to return it."

His voice was a bit low, and Wei Qing didn’t hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Lin Wen: "It’s nothing. It’s a bit cold outside, why don’t you come inside and sit for a while?"

Wei Qing thought for a moment and then declined: "It’s fine, I won’t go in."

"Then let me take you back. It’s not very safe for you to go alone as a female."

Wei Qing initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Lin Wen’s expectant eyes, she nodded: "Okay."

Lin Wen immediately showed a smile.

"Wait for me, I’ll be right out."

Saying that, without waiting for Wei Qing’s reaction, Lin Wen ran off.

"Who is that, Lin Wen, is she your girlfriend?"

"Lin Wen, when did you get a girlfriend?"

"Lin Wen, you’re so disloyal."

Lin Wen: "Don’t talk nonsense, it gives a bad impression, she’s just a friend."

"Just a friend?"

"I don’t believe it."

"Just look at how happy you look."

Lin Wen: "Stop talking nonsense, I’m leaving."

Lin Wen hurriedly ran out and came to Wei Qing: "Sorry to keep you waiting, shall we go?"

Wei Qing nodded: "Hmm."

On the way, Lin Wen couldn’t help but say, "In the future, you can just call me and I’ll come to get it myself. It’s cold now, and it’s not very safe for you to come out alone."

Wei Qing didn’t say anything, she just nodded.

The two of them walked silently forward.

Halfway there, a man suddenly ran towards them.

Someone behind shouted, "Help, robbery!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wen instinctively chased after the man.

With just a few moves, he knocked the man to the ground.

Lin Wen pinned the man down, and the woman whose bag had been snatched quickly ran over.

"Comrade, is this your bag? Check if anything’s missing," Lin Wen handed the bag to the woman.

The woman took the bag: "Thank you, thank you, comrade."

The woman checked the bag, "Nothing’s missing, thank you, comrade."

Lin Wen: "It’s nothing, as long as nothing’s missing."

Wei Qing walked over: "Are you okay?"

Lin Wen shook his head: "I’m fine."

The woman looked at Wei Qing, glanced between the two of them, and said: "Comrade, your girlfriend is really nice, so many people around, and she’s the only one who helped me. Your girlfriend is really a good person."

Wei Qing’s face suddenly turned red.

Lin Wen didn’t immediately refute.

"Well, uh, I think I need to take this person to the police station."

Wei Qing, face still red, said: "No, it’s okay, I can go back by myself, you take him to the police station."

Lin Wen wanted to say he would be back soon, but he couldn’t let her wait in the cold wind.

And if he took her back home, he would have to make another trip, which was too tiring.

"Sorry, but you’ll have to go back by yourself," Lin Wen said apologetically.

Wei Qing replied: "It’s no problem, really."

After speaking, Wei Qing hurriedly left.

Lin Wen watched her back until she disappeared from sight, then forcefully dragged the man on the ground up.

"See if I don’t teach you a lesson when I get back!"

If it weren’t for this man, he could have escorted Wei Qing home. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The thief felt a chill down his spine.

"Up, let’s go!" Lin Wen whispered harshly.

...

Wei Qing hurriedly returned home and encountered Wei Lai, who was about to leave.

Wei Lai saw Wei Qing in a rush, her face red, and looked puzzled: "Where did you go? So rushed."

"Nothing, nothing."

Wei Qing brushed past Wei Lai, went upstairs, returned to her room, and closed the door in one smooth motion.

Back in her room, she lay face down on the bed, burying herself in it.

She recalled what the woman had said in her mind.

Girlfriend, what girlfriend, he’s not her boyfriend.

No girlfriend or anything.

"Oh dear, how annoying, I like Brother Jiang, not Lin Wen," Wei Qing said, patting her face.

"Xiaoqing? What’re you doing inside?" Ning Yayan knocked on the door and asked.

Wei Qing was startled and said: "Nothing."

"Really nothing?" Ning Yayan asked uncertainly.

Wei Qing: "Really nothing, mom, I’m a bit tired, I’ll rest first."

Ning Yayan felt a bit strange but didn’t press too hard, intending to check later in the evening.

Once Ning Yayan left, Wei Qing let out a sigh of relief.

Hope she didn’t hear what I just said?

As Ning Yayan went downstairs, she saw Wei Lai coming back.

"Why are you back?"

Wei Lai had left the house but turned back due to feeling uneasy about Wei Qing’s strange behavior.

"I came to check on Wei Qing."

Ning Yayan grasped Wei Lai’s hand and said: "Don’t you think your sister’s been acting strange these past few days?"

Wei Lai: "I think it’s a bit odd too."

Ning Yayan: "What’s your sister been up to lately?"

"I have no idea," Wei Lai had no clue about Wei Qing’s recent antics.

"And who has your sister been going out with these days? Do you know?" Ning Yayan knew Wei Qing didn’t have many friends here.

But Wei Qing had been going out a lot lately.

It puzzled Ning Yayan, but she couldn’t interfere too much.

As long as it wasn’t dangerous, it was Wei Qing’s freedom; after all, the child is grown up.

"I don’t know." Wei Lai shook his head.

Ning Yayan: "Why don’t you know anything?"

Wei Lai: "Mom, she’s not a three-year-old, I can’t watch her every minute, how would I know what she’s doing?"

"Just keep an eye on her these days, she’s your sister, show some concern."

"Alright, alright, I know, but I need to get going to deliver something to my eldest sister. I’m leaving now." said Wei Lai hastily as he left.

Afraid his mom might pull him back for another lecture.

"Hey, why leaving in such a hurry, really, all of you are so worry-inducing," Ning Yayan said looking towards the second floor.

Thinking she should find a chance to ask, just to feel at ease.
