Lu Qingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and cold sweat trickled silently down his back.
As Mu Shaohua approached in her ten-centimeter high heels, he could clearly hear his own heart pounding.
Like prey pinned to the spot, Lu Qingzhou's heart tightened subconsciously with each crisp sound of heels striking the floor.
"Honey, why haven't you mentioned this 'romantic past' before?"
Mu Shaohua's voice was as gentle as honey, and her warm breath brushed against his ear, making his temples throb.
He desperately wanted to escape by pretending to pee, but unfortunately, Mu Shaohua had him firmly in her grasp.
Who would have thought that Leng Yue was such a wicked woman, actually revealing his embarrassing moments from high school at this time!
Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Qingzhou caught sight of Su Qingyao slowly unbuttoning her shirt, her fair collarbone gleaming coldly under the light, and his breath hitched.
"Looks like we need to keep up with the times—laser engraving is all the rage now, how about we get a 'personal companion' tattooed on the back of your neck too?"
Su Qingyao's fingertips carried a faint coolness as they brushed past behind Lu Qingzhou's ear, causing him to instinctively flinch and bump into Leng Yue's arms behind him.
Seeing their aggressive gazes, he gave a dry laugh: "That, that was just youthful ignorance... don't take it to heart." His voice trailed off.
"I don't know any better?"
Mu Shaohua suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him almost nose-to-nose. Her warm breath brushed against his flushed cheeks. "Do you want me to draw a heart on your butt too, to relive our high school days?"
Her other hand had already touched his lower back, startling Lu Qingzhou so much that he reflexively jumped away, his heel hitting the coffee table.
Leng Yue chuckled softly from behind, "Let's relive it."
Lu Qingzhou turned around and met Leng Yue's ambiguous smile, and immediately felt a surge of anger that made her teeth itch. This little brat was clearly doing it on purpose!
Next time I help her with her homework, I'll definitely give her some good geometry problems.
Seeing Lu Qingzhou's burning gaze, Leng Yue hurriedly hid behind Zhang Ruoshui and even stuck out her tongue at him in a provocative manner.
Lu Qingzhou wanted nothing more than to rush over and pick up the "culprit" and teach him a lesson, and was about to take action.
But his mother, Zhang Ruoshui, casually remarked, "You silly girl, you always bring up the things you don't want to talk about."
Lu Qingzhou was overjoyed; finally, someone was speaking up for him.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Ruoshui abruptly changed the subject, a sly smile flashing in her eyes:
"Listen to me, everyone, this isn't me, as the mother, trying to stir up trouble. Since Yueyue has already spoken out, I think you guys must be feeling a bit resentful. To be fair, why don't you all put a mark on him? I support that."
This isn't mediation; it's clearly adding fuel to the fire!
Lu Qingzhou felt like crying but couldn't shed a tear; her heart was ice-cold.
Hearing this, Leng Yue, the culprit standing behind her, burst into laughter. She immediately turned around, grabbed a marker from the bookshelf, and ran back excitedly: "How about I draw an upgraded version for Brother Qingzhou? This time, I'll draw a star that shines!"
Lu Qingzhou was on the verge of a breakdown. Looking at Zhang Ruoshui with ill intentions, he rolled his eyes and said, "Are you really my mother? You're always doing things that harm your son."
Zhang Ruoshui spread her hands, feigning innocence, "There's nothing I can do, son. You've angered everyone. I'm just trying to balance your relationships with your wives. I'm protecting you."
Lu Qingzhou almost vomited blood. To call stirring up trouble into protecting him was truly beyond words. "Thank you so much. I should have just sent you back."
Zhang Ruoshui laughed heartily and waved her hand, "Daughters-in-law, do whatever you want, don't worry about my feelings."
Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua exchanged a glance, then stepped past Lu Qingzhou and began searching around.
After a moment, Lu Qingzhou looked at the props in the hands of the group and felt numb.
Su Qingyao was holding a syringe that Zhouzhou used to play with; it was a normal-sized syringe.
But seeing the oversized syringe in Mu Shaohua's hand, Lu Qingzhou's lips twitched violently. 'Damn it, are you trying to give me a shot? This is utterly outrageous!'
He immediately protested: "I can accept Yueyue taking a pen, but Qingyao, you've gone a bit too far."
The two did not respond to his words, but were met only with their meaningful sneers.
As the three women closed in, forming a pincer movement, Lu Qingzhou looked at their ambiguous smiles and couldn't help but think to herself: "These aren't virtuous and kind women; they're clearly three female demons!"
At this moment, Lu Qingzhou suddenly felt that the central air conditioning in the living room seemed to have malfunctioned.
His face flushed red, and he raised his hands in surrender: "I was wrong! I promise to hand over all my 'marking rights' from now on!"
Just as Leng Yue was about to step forward and add fuel to the fire, Lu Qingzhou glared at her and scolded her impatiently, "It's all your fault, go play somewhere else."
Leng Yue's eyes instantly welled up with tears, looking as aggrieved as a child whose toy had been taken away. She turned to Zhang Ruoshui, tugging at her clothes and pleading, "Mom, look at him, he's being mean to me."
Zhang Ruoshui immediately straightened her face, her eyes like ice: "You brat, you dare to yell at my daughter-in-law in front of me? You've got some nerve!"
Seeing her mother-in-law backing her up, Leng Yue immediately smiled. Her change of expression was as fast as an Oscar wink.
Holy crap!
Lu Qingzhou felt a throbbing pain in his temples, and his heart was filled with despair.
This is blatant provocation! It was clearly Leng Yue who caused him trouble, so how did he become the sinner?
He opened his mouth helplessly, but couldn't even utter a word of explanation. He felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire, and the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.
