"I feel like you're becoming more and more of a jerk."
As Lu Linglong said softly.
Zhuang Wengang froze in place as he was about to turn the handle of the cubicle.
Then, a smile appeared on his lips. He turned his head, looked at Lu Linglong's delicate features, blinked, and said, "Even if I'm a scumbag, I'm a deeply affectionate scumbag."
After saying that, he turned the doorknob and walked out without waiting for Lu Linglong's reaction.
Lu Linglong stared blankly at his retreating figure.
Scumbag?
A devoted but scumbag?
Is there a difference between these two?
Doesn't this further prove that he's a scumbag?
Lu Linglong was completely bewildered, her face full of question marks.
In the end, all she could do was twitch at the corner of her mouth, her myriad thoughts turning into a bitter smile.
What else could she do?
Leave Zhuang Wen?
She hasn't made up her mind yet.
Don't leave Zhuang Wen?
But Zhuang Wen is her brother-in-law.
This relationship...
Never mind, he's a scumbag if he wants, and he's devoted if he wants. Let's leave it at that for now and think things through before dealing with our relationship!
Lu Linglong sighed in the end, then straightened her long dress again and prepared to leave.
But before she could even step out of the cubicle, she heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
Then, Zhuang Wen's figure appeared in front of her again.
Why are you back?
Lu Linglong was startled, then instinctively crossed her arms and looked at him warily.
"Mu Qimei is here!"
Zhuang Wen's face was a little pale. After saying this, he hurriedly pushed Lu Linglong back into the cubicle without saying another word.
Click!
He locked the cubicle.
Then, he squatted on the toilet seat, barely daring to breathe.
"What?!"
Lu Linglong belatedly realized what was happening, and her fair cheeks immediately turned pale.
"Shh!"
Zhuang Wen raised his index finger to her, silencing her.
Lu Linglong immediately shut her mouth, but stared at Zhuang Wen with a resentful and aggrieved look. Her beautiful big eyes seemed to contain a sentence: It's all your fault, you bad guy!
Zhuang Wen chuckled twice, then awkwardly touched his nose.
Two or three seconds later.
Crack!
The sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed from afar, growing louder as it approached.
Soon, they arrived at the women's restroom.
"Linglong, are you there?"
As expected, Mu Qimei's charming and gentle voice rang out.
Lu Linglong's face turned deathly pale, and she remained silent.
"Linglong, you're not here?"
Mu Qimei's questioning voice rang out.
Zhuang Wen gently poked Lu Linglong with his hand.
The latter then realized, "Oh, oh, I'm here."
His voice was slightly stuttering.
"Why did you take so long to go to the toilet? What happened? Did you eat something bad?"
Mu Qimei breathed a sigh of relief, giggled twice, and then reached out and turned the doorknob of one of the cubicles.
Whether intentionally or unknowingly, the cubicle she turned the doorknob into was the very cubicle where Zhuang Wen and Lu Linglong were!
Both Zhuang Wen and Lu Linglong's hearts jumped at the same time. Lu Linglong, in particular, got goosebumps all over her body. She looked at Zhuang Wen with a wronged and pleading expression, as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they could only turn into a resentful look.
"You're inside."
Mu Qimei released her hand and laughed somewhat shyly.
"Yes, yes, I'm inside. You can go to the other one."
Lu Linglong said hurriedly.
A few beads of sweat began to appear on her pale face.
Her two little hands were clenched tightly together, showing how nervous she was.
"good."
Mu Qimei walked towards another cubicle, asking as she went, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"W-What did you say?"
Lu Linglong was so nervous that she forgot what Mu Qimei had asked her earlier.
"Your memory is pretty bad, huh? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Mu Qimei went into another cubicle.
With a click, her cubicle was locked.
It was because of this sentence that Lu Linglong remembered what Mu Qimei had said earlier.
"I remember now."
Lu Linglong suddenly realized and said, "I did have an upset stomach last night and didn't sleep well either."
"Oh, what did you eat? You could have gotten an upset stomach."
As Mu Qimei asked the question, she unbuttoned her cheongsam.
"I just ate a little something, who knew my stomach wasn't feeling well."
While dealing with the situation, Lu Linglong opened the cubicle and then gestured to Zhuang Wen with her eyes to leave quickly.
Zhuang Wen took the opportunity to walk past Lu Linglong, but as they passed each other, he turned around and gently pecked Lu Linglong's lips before tiptoeing out of the women's restroom.
He made almost no sound during the process.
"Oh, I see. You should be more careful in the future."
Mu Qimei nodded and asked with concern, "Have you finished using the restroom?"
"Yes, I'm done."
Just as Lu Linglong was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that acting had to go all the way, so she pressed the toilet button, and the sound of water running filled the air.
But just before that sound of water began, another rapid flow of water rang out.
Zhuang Wen and Lu Linglong instantly understood what that sound was.
Zhuang Wen stumbled slightly, then, taking advantage of the moment when Lu Linglong flushed the toilet, he quickly left the women's restroom.
Lu Linglong's face flushed red as she glared fiercely at Zhuang Wen's departing figure.
"I'll wait for you."
As she spoke, Lu Linglong went to the sink, turned on the tap, and used water to clean up her smudged bright red lipstick.
...
After leaving the women's restroom, Zhuang Wen turned around and went into the men's restroom. He lingered inside for a while before finally coming out.
Back at the "Beautiful Skin Cosmetics" store, Mu Qimei and Lu Linglong were indeed back.
"Oh, you're just coming out too?"
Mu Qimei raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyes blinking like two black gems radiating light, as she smiled at Zhuang Wen.
My stomach feels a little uncomfortable.
Zhuang Wen simply said one sentence and didn't say anything more.
He secretly glanced at Lu Linglong and found that she was also secretly sizing him up.
But when she saw him looking at her, Lu Linglong quickly withdrew her bright eyes, like a frightened little rabbit.
This made Zhuang Wen's lips curl into a smile.
Mu Qimei, Lu Linglong, and Zhuang Wen looked at the store for a while longer.
At Mu Qimei's strong invitation, Zhuang Wen offered a few suggestions.
This earned him only Lu Linglong's merciless mockery.
After what happened in the women's restroom, she regained her usual charming yet aloof demeanor.
Zhuang Wen wasn't angry.
Because Mu Qimei did listen to him and adopted his small suggestion, and immediately instructed the renovation workers to follow Zhuang Wen's advice.
"Hey, it's getting late, let's go eat."
After looking around for a while, Mu Qimei was quite satisfied with the decoration, so she suggested that Zhuang Wen and Lu Linglong have dinner together.
After thinking about it, the two agreed since they had nothing to do that afternoon.
