Chongzhen rushed into the house and closed the door.
"You..." Wang Tingmei was about to scold when she suddenly saw Chongzhen's face.
He was so frightened that his whole body went cold and he was like a wooden chicken.
"Don't talk, just continue watching the fun." Chongzhen leaned over to Wang Tingmei's ear and whispered.
