Shi Mei: "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t ask?"
How can I possibly not ask about something this important!!!???
Shi Mei, feeling a bit disconsolate: "Ah, women."
Ye Tiao: So, what’s the situation now?
Shi Mei: "I need your help, but I haven’t come up with a complete plan yet, something that can perfectly avoid the Shi Family’s surveillance."
Shi Mei: "As long as you can get me out, that’s enough."
Ye Tiao looked at the text messages from Shi Mei and felt a surge of acidity in her heart.
Ling Yan is such a jerk!
Not a word said, and he’s hidden her all these years, and now he won’t even grant her the most basic freedom?
Tang Wu was his fiancée back in the day, after all!
And this is how he treats her now?
Ye Tiao’s eyes were sour as she asked, "What can I do?"
Shi Mei: "I’ll find an opportunity to go out, and then I’ll need you to ’bump into’ me."
No sooner had Shi Mei received Ye Tiao’s message than she heard faint footsteps outside the slightly ajar door.
But Shi Mei had been attentive to the possibility of these footsteps arriving. She immediately deleted all the messages, blocked Ye Tiao, and then rolled onto the bed in haste.
As soon as Ling Yan walked in, he saw Shi Mei lying on the bed.
Her pink slip only covered her round, full buttocks, her legs kicked up, swinging playfully back and forth under the warm light, blindingly white.
She was holding a comic book that he had casually brought back for her the day before, humming an out-of-tune nursery rhyme.
Ling Yan was used to such scenes, took off his suit jacket, and hung it on the rack.
Shi Mei seemed to notice Ling Yan’s return then, turned her head with a look of surprise, and called out, "Hubby, you’re back!"
Ling Yan gave a faint acknowledgment, loosened his tie, and headed for the bathroom.
Shi Mei watched Ling Yan’s retreating figure, bit her finger, thought for a moment, and suddenly came up with a perfect plan.
She climbed off the bed and scurried after Ling Yan, following quietly behind him without a word.
Ling Yan’s initial movement to enter halted.
He turned his head and saw Shi Mei’s suddenly radiant smile.
Her face was white with a blush of pink and looked endearingly cute.
It had to be said, Shi Mei might be silly, but she looked quite pretty.
And that smile had a curiously infectious charm.
Ling Yan’s body and mind relaxed slightly, and he asked offhandedly, "What do you want to do?"
Shi Mei tilted her head, beaming brightly, and said loudly, "I want to take a bath with hubby!"
Ling Yan, who had just relaxed, felt like he had been stepped on in an instant.
Shi Mei immediately lunged forward and clung to his arm, saying, "The book says only a husband and wife can call each other hubby, and taking a bath with hubby is the way to make a baby!"
Ling Yan frowned, "What on earth are you reading all day?"
"Um," Shi Mei clung to his arm without letting go, "it’s the book that hubby gave me, it says—ah... hubby, gentler, um... don’t...!"
Her perfectly pronounced cries, despite not having any discordant tone, made Ling Yan instantly aware of what she was implying.
"When did I ever give you such a book?"
Shi Mei instantly let go, hopped back onto the bed, and pulled down the comic book, saying, "Look!"
Shi Mei also smartly flipped to the page she was currently on.
One R-rated scene after another was depicted in comic book form, all blurred out with mosaic!?
