Xu Mengyu turned over and lay flat on the bed, the sensation on her face lingering for a long time...

"You've completely ruined morality, what are the others supposed to do?" Xu Mengyu's voice subtly changed as she stared blankly at the square white light in the bedroom.

Zheng Tianming lay on his side on the bed, her loose hair brushing against his face, making him feel a little itchy: "All you do is tattle."

“Yes, I’m not capable.” Xu Mengyu turned around. He was really good-looking, with delicate features, especially the eyes under his sword-like eyebrows, which were like a wild leopard about to hunt, full of wildness and aggression.

She has a strong possessive and conquering desire; the more he rejects her, the more exciting and challenging it becomes for her...

"I was just trying to see someone's thighs, but I didn't get to, and you even kissed me. I'm so pissed off," Xu Mengyu said, sitting up and pouting.

Zheng Tianming didn't even want to expose her. Was all she wanted to see just now thighs?

"What are you doing?" Zheng Tianming didn't expect Xu Mengyu to suddenly pull back the covers. He frowned and his voice was a little deep.

Xu Mengyu turned her head and stared at Zheng Tianming's legs: "I can't sleep because I feel wronged. Take them off and let me see."

After saying "problem," Zheng Tianming turned around immediately.

With an alluring fragrance wafting from her breath, Xu Mengyu blinked her innocent eyes and smiled at him. Before he could react, a light kiss landed on his nose.

"Bai Qin? There's no such thing as a free lunch. How come I didn't know?" Xu Mengyu brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Zheng Tianming flipped her over and pinned her down, his large hand resting on her waist. Their breathing became unsteady, and soft kisses fell from her neck down to her chest.

Xu Mengyu's entire body flushed an unnatural pink, making the whole room feel warmer. He knew he couldn't touch her waist, so his hand never left it...

Zheng Tianming knew that she was just acting on a whim or couldn't resist wanting to "use" him. She had always been this kind of woman, but he couldn't resist her.

Xu Mengyu held Zheng Tianming's head, her left leg curled up. The moment the bean entered her mouth, her bones went limp, and most of her strength was instantly drained away.

Zheng Tianming braced himself on the bed, his arm muscles tense...

Xu Mengyu looked at Zheng Tianming with seductive eyes, her knees shifting slightly, followed by a muffled groan: "Brother, do you think Xiao Tianming has been missing me?"

Zheng Tianming sucked on Xu Mengyu's lips, his tentative kiss revealing his caution, until he received a response, at which point he poured all his passion into the kiss.

The two were kissing when the doorbell rang...

After Xu Mengyu came to her senses, she put her hand on Zheng Tianming. At first, she didn't want to get involved, but the doorbell kept ringing, and the ambiguous atmosphere came to an abrupt end.

Zheng Tianming got up, wearing only pajamas, his loose pajama bottoms revealing his silhouette. He picked up the cigarette pack from the bedside table and went out.

Xu Mengyu straightened her clothes. She must be crazy!

A mother and daughter stood at the door. The little girl was holding candy, and the woman beside her was carrying a pot—yes, a soup pot...

The man across the door peered through the crack in the door at the little girl. Only when Zheng Tianming opened the door did he turn his gaze away and walk to the sofa, where he drank and watched the football match.

"Uncle Zheng," the little girl said, handing the candy directly to Zheng Tianming. "Good evening."

The woman looked at Zheng Tianming with a helpless expression: "I'm sorry to bother you so late. I made some soup, and Xiaoying insisted on bringing it to you."

Grandma is right. How will we know there won't be any results if we don't try? Zheng Tianming seems like the kind of man who is responsible and has a strong sense of duty. The key is that Xiaoying likes him very much.

Zheng Tianming patted Xiaoying's head: "It's so late, it's best not to wander around." This area is very unsafe, and if the mother and daughter go out at night, something bad might happen.

"It's alright, there are police officers patrolling downstairs," the woman said as she walked towards the kitchen.

Zheng Tianming had helped the old lady move her things before, and the woman came over once to express her gratitude.

Xiaoying held Zheng Tianming's hand and whispered, "Uncle Zheng, you're so tall!" Then she tilted her head back and chuckled.

Xu Mengyu has difficulty walking, but she seemed to hear the voices of other women and children, so she came out in her wheelchair.

The woman was dressed in her loungewear; after all, it was summer. She wore a long slip dress with a light jacket over it and was busy getting bowls in the kitchen.

Zheng Tianming stood in the living room, next to a little girl with a cute, round face and a messy little bun.

"ah!"

The woman hadn't expected anyone else to be home; she was so focused on getting the bowls that she was startled to see a woman in a wheelchair.

Xu Mengyu gave Zheng Tianming a meaningful look: "And this is, your sister-in-law?"

Zheng Tianming lowered his eyes and frowned.

"No, no." The woman shook her head repeatedly, looking at Xu Mengyu with an embarrassed expression: "My name is Jiang Qiu, and I live in the next unit. Brother Zheng helped my grandma before, so we can only be considered acquaintances."

Xiaoying looked at Xu Mengyu and said, "Pretty sister." Then she let go of Zheng Tianming and walked over, asking, "Is your leg broken?"

Xu Mengyu smiled and said, "Yeah, it's broken."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zheng Tianming's voice was deep, clearly dissatisfied with Xu Mengyu's answer.

Jiang Qiu looked at Xu Mengyu and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't quite put his name into words: "Aren't you that famous star, the one who plays the senior sister of some sect in fantasy dramas?"

“No, I’ve had plastic surgery.” Xu Mengyu said, extending her hand: “Hello, I’m Zheng Tianming’s sister, my name is Zheng Linxi.”

"Hello, hello." Jiang Qiu didn't think much of it. These days, aren't there many people who get plastic surgery to look like celebrities? But she looks too much like one.

Zheng Tianming didn't expect Jiang Qiu to bring the child over so late at night: "It's getting late, I'll take you home."

We can't let them go back alone.

Jiang Qiu pulled Xiao Ying along, saying, "Don't bother, it's just a short walk. Remember to drink the soup while it's hot."

"Let my brother deliver it. He's got nothing better to do anyway," Xu Mengyu said, glancing at Zheng Tianming. She knew Zheng Tianming all too well.

Jiang Qiu glanced at Zheng Tianming furtively. It would be good to be alone, but leaving her sister, who had difficulty walking, at home didn't seem quite right. "It's okay, there are police officers patrolling outside. I'll go now."

"Uncle Zheng, give me a hug," Xiaoying said, reaching out her hands.

Zheng Tianming picked up the child and said, "Let's go." He glanced back and said, "You should go to bed early. I brought the key, so you don't need to open the door." He was afraid she would open the door for bad people, that she was heartless.

Before, when I asked her to call me "brother," she was like a mute, but now she calls me "brother" all the time!

Xu Mengyu knew exactly what Jiang Qiu was thinking; otherwise, why would she deliver a pot of soup in the middle of the night? But it was so late, and it wasn't safe for her to be alone with the child.

If Zheng Tianming has that intention, no one can stop him.

Zheng Tianming carried Xiaoying downstairs, with Jiang Qiu beside him. After hesitating for a moment, she casually brought up a topic: "Your sister is really beautiful, like a big star."

There were no streetlights in the neighborhood, and it was pitch black everywhere. Jiang Qiu took out her phone and turned on the flashlight, which Xiao Ying had brought when she arrived.

"Hmm." Zheng Tianming didn't want to chat. He resented Xu Mengyu pushing him away, just like on the deserted island.

She can pull it over if she wants to use it, and push it away if she doesn't.

As they went upstairs, Jiang Qiu, wearing slippers, tripped. Zheng Tianming, holding Xiao Ying in one arm, supported her with the other.

Jiang Qiu's heart was pounding in her throat: "No, I'm sorry." She was so nervous she stammered, but she was a salesperson...

"Uncle Zheng, Grandma said you'll be my dad from now on," Xiaoying said with a smile. She was at the age where she was learning to speak, and she imitated whatever people said.

Jiang Qiu's face immediately turned red: "Children say the darndest things. Her grandma was just teasing her. Don't take it seriously."

Zheng Tianming did not answer. After arriving at the destination, he put Xiaoying down and said, "Don't wander around. Even with patrols, they may not be able to cover everyone."

"Okay, I got it. You should go back now, your sister is still at home." Jiang Qiu said, opening the door.

After going downstairs, Zheng Tianming went to the convenience store. While buying cigarettes, he saw the "household goods" section and hesitated for a moment...

Xu Mengyu, sitting in her wheelchair, was video chatting with Xu Lu on her phone: "Don't cry, baby, Mommy's okay, really." She then held the phone closer, showing Xu Lu her face: "Look, haven't you gained weight?"

Xu Lu sat on the sofa, his eyes and nose red. He spent every day online cursing his mother: "Mom, when will I be able to see you again?" As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.

The maid beside him was wiping his face with a handkerchief.

Seeing her son cry like this, Xu Mengyu's heart broke. Her eyes were red as she said, "Don't cry, Mom is thinking of something." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Seeing this, Xu Lu tried to hold back her tears, but as soon as she opened her mouth, tears streamed down her face: "Mom, I promise I'll be a good girl and stay with you for a bit before I go home, okay?"

He knew it was wrong, that he wasn't a good boy...

Xu Mengyu nodded. Xu Lu had no father since he was a child, and she spent limited time with him, so he matured very early.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and she knew Zheng Tianming had returned, so she quickly hung up the video call.

As soon as Zheng Tianming entered the living room, he saw that Xu Mengyu's eyes were red, clearly she had just been crying, and she was still holding her phone in her hand: "When people don't know the truth, they often think they are on the side of justice."

Xu Mengyu looked up, puzzled as to why Zheng Tianming had suddenly said that. Then, a thought struck her, and she understood...

It's not that he can't speak properly, it's that he doesn't want to.

It turns out that kissing works.

Zheng Tianming lifted her from the wheelchair. He didn't understand the entertainment industry, let alone what she was going to do next. Seeing that she remained silent, he didn't continue.

Back in bed, Xu Mengyu's mind was filled with thoughts of Xu Lu. He was probably still crying, and the maid said he hadn't eaten properly for two days.

She tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The environment here was terrible and dangerous. If things really got too bad, she'd have to go back...

But going back would definitely involve taking a plane, and getting photographed by paparazzi would be a problem. She's not afraid of that abroad, where paparazzi can't take pictures of her.

She's in the eye of the storm, and her enemies are hoping she can't take it anymore and will die immediately.

Zheng Tianming glanced at the trending topics on his phone and, sure enough, they were still digging into Xu Mengyu's past, including photos of her going to the hospital and coming out of the gynecology department. He wondered how they had managed to take those photos.

There's also a video of her slapping a female star on set, and even some of her usual Weibo posts have been dug up and amplified endlessly.

It feels like everyone is having a party, with the goal of "upholding justice".

"I'll go home tomorrow." Xu Mengyu was still more worried about her son. The area was too unsafe, and children had gone missing there. She couldn't risk her son's safety.

Zheng Tianming put down his phone, not understanding why he would say that out of the blue: "No." He refused directly: "Don't wander off. I promised Uncle Xu and Aunt Li."

Xu Mengyu pursed her lips; going home would only cause trouble for her family: "..."

This is really worrying, but there's always a solution, and she can definitely do it!

"What are you doing? You're so lewd, touching people's thighs." Xu Mengyu pinched Zheng Tianming's hand. What kind of person is he? So indecent.

Zheng Tianming, with a stern face, lay down and still looked at Xu Mengyu: "Take your legs off me."

"Oh, then go ahead and touch it." Xu Mengyu acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water. It hurt when her feet touched the blanket, but it was comfortable to carry it like this.

Zheng Tianming directly removed Xu Mengyu's legs from his body, spoiling her.

"hiss--"

Xu Mengyu gasped, wincing in pain.

Zheng Tianming sensed something was wrong, got up and took a look. Xu Mengyu had just stepped on the bed and rubbed against him, with scabs of blood still on them. It would be strange if it didn't hurt when she scraped against the blanket.

Logically, the wound on her foot should have healed long ago, but because the things she stepped on were germs, and the area was large, and it was on the sole of her foot, it naturally healed slowly.

"No, don't touch it, it hurts." Xu Mengyu struggled to prevent Zheng Tianming from touching the wound on the sole of her foot.

Zheng Tianming got up to disinfect the utensils: "Who told you to be dishonest?"

Xu Mengyu bit her lip. She was quite touched by his comforting words just now, but now she was taking it back. Wasn't he the one who took the initiative to pounce on her?

This would be her fault for being dishonest: "..."

When it came to bandaging the wound, Xu Mengyu insisted on doing it herself, saying she would be even more frightened if she didn't watch.

Zheng Tianming sat to the side, but Xu Mengyu tried to remove the scabs hanging on the skin several times without success. Just as he was about to reach out, Xu Mengyu simply ripped them off.

Xu Mengyu trembled in pain as blood flowed down her soles onto the bed, tearing off tender flesh and creating a small gash.

"I fucking said you're reckless, and you still won't admit it." Zheng Tianming quickly used the cotton ball he had prepared to stop the bleeding, so ruthless to himself.

Xu Mengyu was in so much pain that she broke out in a sweat and lay down on the bed: "Wasn't the problem solved?"

"You should learn something good." Zheng Tianming said, and Xu Mengyu kicked him on the shoulder with her toe.

After treating her wound, Xu Mengyu picked up her phone and glanced at it. Before she knew it, she almost threw the phone away.

Zheng Tianming was packing up medical supplies when he happened to see it. He squinted and wished he could throw Xu Mengyu out of the house immediately.

The kind of person who doesn't care whether she lives or dies.

Xu Mengyu looked up and met Zheng Tianming's deep eyes. She licked her lips and said, "Um, I'm telling you, I didn't ask to see it, do you believe me...?"
