Shi Mei caught sight of Mu Nanke walking away with Bao Gui in the distance and couldn’t help but gently shake her head.
"What are you looking at?"
A deep, mellow voice caught her by surprise.
Startled, Shi Mei instinctively turned around and her mask collided with the tall figure behind her.
The mask shifted slightly, and Shi Mei, frightened, immediately covered her face and hurriedly adjusted her mask.
Shi Lingyan watched her actions, his eyes dark and profound, seemingly chuckling, and yet perhaps not, "What are you afraid of, I won’t eat you?"
Shi Mei took two steps back, instinctively about to run, but then was blocked by Yun Du.
Yun Du looked at Shi Mei with a gaze full of resentment, "Still want to run, after so many times, I finally caught you now!"
"You guys are taking advantage of my predicament, should let me run for a bit, right?" Shi Mei adjusted her mask, then turned with some trepidation, "Mr. Shi, did you need me for something?"
"I came to have a heart-to-heart with the mother of my child; is that not allowed?" Shi Lingyan glanced at her and then tugged her hand, leading her straight to his car.
Shi Mei struggled to pull her hand back, but upon meeting Shi Lingyan’s gaze, she quickly faced the reality and confessed, "I...I lied to you last time, I wasn’t really pregnant."
Yun Du, who was behind them, heard this and became very angry, "I knew it, how could a pregnant woman run faster than us? Even with extraordinary talent, that would be too strenuous!"
Shi Mei: "Hehe, yes, yes, all fake, you can tell from how active I am that I couldn’t possibly be pregnant, so Mr. Shi, you might as well let me go, all this pulling and dragging is so unseemly..."
Shi Lingyan didn’t let her finish speaking and directly pushed her into the car.
Shi Mei sat down properly, watching Yun Du drive and Shi Lingyan who followed into the car, and said obediently, "Actually, I know I was wrong, I can apologize if you want, and I’ll try to compensate, but you don’t always have to suddenly find me, it scares me; I have no peace of mind."
If she knew fear, she wouldn’t continuously provoke him.
Now she knows fear when she’s caught?
"How many years have you been playing the lute?"
"Uh, a little over twenty years."
"I started learning when I became a fan of Tang Wu."
"Is that so?" Shi Lingyan pulled out a cigarette case and took one out, upon hearing this he lightly snorted, "Tang Wu has been in the spotlight for many years now, you seem to know her quite well?"
Shi Mei’s back was drenched in sweat.
Why bring up Tang Wu all of a sudden?
If she admitted she was Tang Wu, would he kill her to silence her?
Shi Mei’s gaze flickered, noncommittally saying, "Yes, I know her quite well, how else would I imitate her to stand out, hehehe..."
"Really?" Shi Lingyan’s gaze seemingly inadvertently glanced at her little finger, his voice slow, "Tang Wu has a small habit, when she talks, she likes to clasp her thigh, why haven’t you picked that up?"
Shi Mei burst out laughing, "Nonsense, what kind of ridiculous habit is that."
Shi Lingyan took a drag of his cigarette, smiling, yet his eyes deepened, "Even her tone of rebuttal, just the same."
