Chapter 48 Get Out
The two sisters skipped and hopped hand in hand to a hot pot restaurant.
The shop is very simple. In a small plastic shed, there are a few copper pots set up on the ground, and customers sitting on small stools gather around the bubbling, steaming tables.
They used to come to this shop all the time; Feng Manman's face was the owner's recipe.
She then pointed to Lu Zhenyu beside her and asked, "Sister Liu, what kind of dish do you think she should order with that face?"
The kind-looking proprietress looked over and suddenly froze.
"This is... Zhenzhen!" The proprietress slapped her thigh. "When did she get back? So she's not leaving this time!"
Upon seeing her old friend again, Lu Zhenyu was overwhelmed with indescribable emotions. Her eyes, slightly red without her realizing it, welled up as she nodded. "I came back a while ago and don't want to leave."
The proprietress was genuinely happy to see the pretty young woman again after many years, and she even paid out of her own pocket to add two more dishes for her.
"Hey girls, wait here, I'll serve you the food right away."
While waiting for the food, Lu Zhenyu glanced around and remarked, "This place really hasn't changed at all."
Feng Manman knew perfectly well why nothing had changed, but she wouldn't say it.
She cupped her face in her hands and leaned closer with a grin, "Zhenzhen, since you're out here, why don't you come stay with me tonight? It's been so long since we slept in the same bed."
Knowing she would be in trouble, Xiaomeng still dared not fail to remind her, "Miss Feng, our mistress has instructed that the young mistress cannot go anywhere except her maternal home."
"..."
Feng Manman slowly glanced over, sizing the person up and down, her eyes blazing with murderous intent. "So... you were sent by Old Lady Zheng to spy on my sisters?"
Feeling a little nervous under her gaze, Xiaomeng pursed her lips, lowered her head, and dared not speak.
"Do you know what happens to people who annoy me? Especially the Zheng family..."
Xiao Meng was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe. She kept her eyes down, afraid that she would be tied up and thrown into the river by the two bodyguards behind Feng Manman at any moment.
Lu Zhenyu smiled helplessly, reached out and pulled the person who was standing there stiffly to sit down next to her, "Don't scare her, she's timid to begin with."
Feng Manman blinked and giggled, pushing the bowl in front of her over. "Don't worry, I won't eat or hit anyone. As long as you take good care of Zhenzhen, it doesn't matter who sent them."
Seeing that Xiaomeng was still sitting there stiffly and reservedly, Lu Zhenyu explained, "She's been like this since she was little. She used to pretend to be a gangster to scare the thugs outside the school, but she's just a paper tiger."
Feng Manman disagreed, "I was clearly doing a service to the people, okay? Besides, Shen Jingsi is the real paper tiger. He acts like a big brother in front of others, but he's a coward behind your back. I'm much better than him."
Listening to the two sisters chatting casually, Xiaomeng, who had been sitting awkwardly to the side, gradually relaxed a bit.
The copper pot was brought out, and Feng Manman helped her mix the ingredients. She looked at the motionless Lu Zhenyu and said, "Young Madam, what flavor do you like? I'll make it for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Manman grabbed her arm and pulled her away, saying, "She likes to eat plain food, just ignore her."
The three girls had flushed faces and beads of sweat on their noses after eating hot pot.
Feng Manman, who finished eating first, looked at Lu Zhenyu, who hadn't put down her chopsticks, and suddenly sighed, "Zhenzhen, the way you are right now makes me think that you've finally lost your husband."
Realizing what she had said, she quickly covered Xiaomeng's ears, "This is inappropriate for children! You didn't hear anything, you didn't hear anything, you didn't hear anything~"
I'll say it three times because it's important.
Suddenly being touched so intimately by the young lady, whose hands were so fragrant and soft, Xiao Meng felt uncomfortable for a moment. She pursed her lips shyly and continued eating obediently.
Lu Zhenyu must have eaten a lot; after taking off her coat, you could already see her slightly protruding belly under her knitted skirt.
After finishing her meal, she elegantly wiped her mouth and patted her tummy, saying, "I've been a bit unrestrained lately; I can't do that again."
Feng Manman immediately retracted her previous statement, "No, please don't! Just eat as much as you want. I have plenty of money; I'll save it all for you to buy delicious food."
People need to gain a little weight and become a bit rounder to keep good fortune in check, so please don't go back to your previous state.
It's terrifying; it always gives her the feeling that this person might die at any moment.
Xiaomeng was initially quite cautious and reserved while eating, but after being fed by her two sisters on either side, she gradually opened up.
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Lu Zhenyu ordered several more plates of meat and pickled cabbage for her.
When we were about to pay, the proprietress said, "It's already been paid for."
Lu Zhenyu was surprised, "Who got married?"
“It’s Zhenzhen’s brother.” The proprietress gestured with her hand, “The money he deposited with me five years ago, I reckon you can live off it for another twelve or thirteen years.”
At the entrance of the bustling night market, the Cullinan sat quietly under an old locust tree.
The passenger, Siwei, had his long legs draped over the side of the car, comfortably reclining with his arms crossed. He glanced at the three girls emerging from the plastic shed, then snapped a piece of chewing gum in his mouth with a snap.
He looked at Shen Jingsi, who was propping his head up with his hand and staring straight ahead in the driver's seat, and said, "If Erzhihua knew that her fiancé, who doted on her during the day, was following married men around at night instead of sleeping, wouldn't she just faint from anger?"
The man's thin lips curved slightly. "You can give it a try."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Siwei sneered. "Not to mention how you've bewitched her now, she's stuck with that annoying look. I'd rather die than let her know."
The whole "turn back before it's too late" thing is just an act.
By day, she pretends to be a reformed playboy, but by night, she climbs through windows and becomes a mistress.
This is the "real business" that the heir of the Shen family, who oversees the vast Shen Group and whose net worth is immeasurable, is busy with every day.
Regardless, the Commandant truly admired this brother; he was genuinely impressed.
As that beautiful face gradually came into focus, something inexplicably occurred to him.
He looked over with a sly smile and said, "I'm telling you, you took all the precautions when you were the adulterer, didn't you?"
Shen Jing stared intently at the beautiful figure in front of the stall, then said, "Why don't you check it for me yourself next time?"
"Get lost!" Siwei glared at him disgustedly. "I'm just reminding you to be more discreet in bed. What if you two end up with a baby right now? What will you do then?"
Do you have children?
Shen Jingsi laughed out of the blue, "That's perfect."
The officer frowned. "What's so good about it?"
The man raised an eyebrow, a hint of malice hidden in his lips. "In that case, she won't be able to divorce her husband and marry me even if she doesn't want to."
Oh ho?
Is it really possible to use a child to advance one's career in this way?
The officer nodded earnestly, "I've learned something, I really have."
Eating well and sleeping well—that's Lu Zhenyu's mental state lately.
When Feng Manman and I returned to the Shen family home, it was already three in the morning. After a quick wash, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
In her sleep, she felt as if her body had suddenly been lifted into the air, but she couldn't open her eyes, so she grabbed onto something.
Shen Jingsi paused in his act of bending down to put the person in bed, and looked at the girl who was hooking her arms around his neck.
Her face was flushed from sleep, and her tongue unconsciously licked her lips twice, her mouth slightly pouting, which made his eyes overflow with tenderness.
"Be good, go back to bed and sleep."
The girl, still half asleep, mumbled a "hmm" through her nose, but didn't let go of her hand.
Afraid of waking her up, Shen Jingsi could only lie down next to her.
The two squeezed into one quilt, which quickly warmed up. The sleeping girl, wanting to stay warm, snuggled closer to him.
In the dim light, Shen Jingsi, who was lying on his side with his head propped up, felt the softness of the body in his arms, and the fire in his abdomen was slowly being stirred up.
He frowned slightly and helplessly restrained the person with his arm. "Don't move anymore, or I'll eat you up."
A single sentence roused the person buried in his chest; his thick, curled eyelashes brushed against the half-exposed chest muscles twice, and his head peeked out.
The night was too dark to see clearly, but the girl called out sleepily, "Shen Jingsi?"
A familiar "hmm" sounded above her head. Still half asleep, Lu Zhenyu felt reassured and snuggled closer to him.
"I'm cold, hold me."
Shen Jingsi obediently pulled the person into his arms, but a mischievous smile played on his lips. "But baby, I'm so hot."
Seeing that she didn't speak, he leaned close to her ear and whispered very softly, "Do you know how torturous it is for a man to be able to touch and see you but not have you?"
The person in my arms seemed to have woken up, because their eyelashes were fluttering.
A moment later, she suddenly pushed him away, pulled her body out of the burning heat, turned her back to him, and then scurried to the edge of the bed while still holding the blanket.
This unexpected action left Shen Jingsi bewildered, and he followed her closely, pulling her into his arms from behind.
"What's wrong? Haven't come to see you for a few days, are you not used to sleeping with me?"
Lu Zhenyu, with her eyes closed, frowned slightly and coldly shook off the hand on her waist.
"Get out of here."
"What?"
Shen Jingsi thought she had misheard, until she raised her voice and repeated, "I told you to get out."
