Shi Lingyan rarely had expressions that were very expressive.
Shi Mei caught the tiny curve at the corner of his lips and knew that his mood must be alright today.
With a giggle, she tightened her grip on his hand, shook his arm, and said, "So husband, can I have Ye Bao be my makeup tutor?"
Shi Lingyan subconsciously thought of the garish makeup that Shi Mei had on her face just moments ago.
Tang Jingming was taken aback, "Junior Sister, you want Sister Ye to be your makeup tutor? Why?"
Shi Mei tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Ye Bao said it’s our little secret, oh."
Tang Jingming had mixed feelings.
His gaze at Ye Tiao became sour.
In the past, he had spent a lot of money and time to buy Shi Mei’s favor!
And now, just by taking her into her room for less than an hour, Ye Tiao had elevated herself to the same level as him.
Not only that, but they even had their little secrets?
Meanwhile, Ye Tiao, smoking on the side, felt a bit faint-hearted when she heard this.
When did they have such a secret?
She didn’t have a clue about it at all.
But though she thought so inside, she still put on a look of profound mystery on her face.
Especially when she saw Shi Lingyan glance over, her "I’m the boss" expression was perfectly conveyed in that instant.
"No," Shi Lingyan said softly.
Shi Mei and Ye Tiao spoke up at the same time.
One sounded innocent, the other shocked and angry.
Shi Lingyan was concise: "She’s not a good person."
Ye Tiao exploded, "How the hell am I not a good person? Did I dig up your ancestors’ graves or steal your wife?"
Tang Jingming: "..." Does she not know if she’s going to steal someone’s wife?
And looking at her face just now, as if she had some deep-seated hatred with Shi Lingyan, who would dare to trust her with their child?
Shi Lingyan gave her a half-smiling look but said nothing; instead, he tugged at Shi Mei’s hand, "Let’s go."
Shi Mei was reluctant and tugged at Shi Lingyan’s hand, pouting pitifully, "I don’t want to."
"I’ll find you another tutor."
Shi Mei’s face looked about to cry, she sulked, "I don’t want another tutor!"
Shi Lingyan’s brows knitted.
Shi Mei seldom disobeyed .
Usually, whatever he said, she would respond softly and sweetly: okay~
But now, she was so insistent on Ye Tiao?
"I want Ye Bao!" Shi Mei repeated, puffing her cheeks and hugging Shi Lingyan’s arm, "I don’t want any other tutors!"
Shi Lingyan looked at Ye Tiao with meaningful eyes.
Ye Tiao suddenly felt a bit unsteady inside.
Especially knowing the true nature of Shi Mei, seeing her so convincingly flawless in her performance, she felt even more anxious inside.
But upon meeting Shi Lingyan’s gaze, she felt she couldn’t show weakness.
Trying to appear composed, she extinguished her cigarette. With a deep and mysterious face, Ye Tiao said, "Let’s have a talk."
Ye Tiao went to the study with Shi Lingyan.
About fifteen minutes later, Shi Lingyan emerged.
Tang Jingming asked eagerly, "How did it go?"
Shi Lingyan gave him a glance, didn’t answer, and walked away with Shi Mei.
Tang Jingming took one look and felt it was a lost cause.
But when he asked Ye Tiao, she said, "He agreed."
Tang Jingming was skeptical, "Really?"
"Then what did you say?"
"What’s it to you?" Ye Tiao pulled out a cigarette, covering the embarrassment on her face, "Anyway, it’s settled."
She had to sell herself short, garner a bit of sympathy, even if it was humiliating.
But as long as she could legitimately take Shi Mei out, what did face matter?
