Girlfriend?
The man’s face sank instantly. He was about to speak up when the woman next to him covered his mouth with her palm.
“Why wasn’t I told that he has a girlfriend?”
The other party sounded displeased. “This matter has nothing to do with you. Tell me the truth now. Why do you have his cell phone?”
Ye Erruo stroked the man’s chest like a purring kitten.
“He’s sleeping next to me. Why do you think I have his phone?”
“Sleeping next to you?” The girl on the other end of the line almost went berserk. “Shameless sl*t! How dare you dope him! Do you know who he is? You’ll be killed when he wakes up.”
The woman in question stifled a snigger. “I’m so scared.”
This ‘girlfriend’ of his was truly scary!
“B*tch! I won’t let you off if you dare do anything to Brother Jiangye.”
“Are you lecturing me as his girlfriend?”
“You just wait and see!” The girl on the phone seemed to know the man very well. Other than Ye Erruo, he didn’t have the hots for any other women and would definitely not touch any dubious female characters.
This b*tch must have drugged him!
“That’s enough, Qing Ning!” The man pulled her hand away from his mouth and reprimanded the caller severely.
“B-Brother Jiangye…” Her b*tchy voice immediately turned sweet and soft.
Qing Ning?
Ye Erruo looked at him with a cocked brow. That was the girl who’d had a childhood crush on her husband, wasn’t it?
She had heard this from her former boyfriend. Qing Ning was the daughter of one of Grandpa Lin’s good friends. When they had still been children, she had met Mo Jiangye and had visited the Lins’ residence daily ever since until she’d gone abroad to study at fifteen years old.
“Who gave you permission to address me as your boyfriend?” He interrogated her frigidly.
The girl replied wryly, “I-I was afraid that this woman was up to no good so I thought I should throw in some threats.”
The lady on the bed sucked her lips before hooking her arms coquettishly around his neck and drawling, “Hubby, we should have dinner now.”
Putting his arms around her waist, he reached for the tablet next to the bed and passed it to her. “You can order what you like, but no more prawns.”
She glimpsed at him. Alright, I’ll order crabs instead!
“H-Hubby?” The voice on the other end of the line sounded incredulous.
“Brother Jiangye, are… are you married?”
“Address me as ‘brother’ or Mo Jiangye.” He corrected her sternly.
Biting her lower lip, Qing Ning probed again, “Are… Are you really married?”
“Yes.”
“Hubby, what do you wanna eat?” She deliberately interrupted their conversation by constantly calling him ‘hubby’.
“I’ll eat whatever you order.” His reply was soft and gentle.
“How about raw oyster…”
“That’s not allowed!” He cut her off tyrannically and deleted the item she had just clicked on the tablet. “You’re not allowed to order any seafood. Get some tonic instead. This… and this…” He put his arms around her from behind and carefully went through the menu.
“Why don’t we simply order a candlelight dinner?” She teased him with a soft chuckle before she added loudly, “We’ll order some red wine too.”
“How can you think of alcohol when you’re on your period? Ye Erruo, do you wanna die?”
The line hadn’t been hung up. The man was too engrossed in ordering dinner for his wife to remember that he was on the phone. This childhood friend of his was too insignificant to be given a second thought.
“Ye Erruo?” The caller let out an exclamation. How could that be? That woman was Ye Erruo?
The man’s eyes moved across the phone as he quipped, “Do you have anything else to say? If you don’t, I’ll hang up now.”
“No, no, no! Brother Jiangye, I’m returning home tomorrow.” She had initially planned to return next week, but it looked like the situation warranted her immediate return.
“Oh. Is there anything else?”
