A glint of light flashed in Shen Tangning's eyes.
...
Wang Zhi Ning strolled into the kitchen, looked around, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the sweet soup simmering on the stove.
With no one in the kitchen, she tiptoed forward, covered the lid with a handkerchief, took out the medicine bottle from her bosom, opened it, poured the medicine inside, and then slowly stirred it with a spoon.
As she did these things, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes:
She wanted to see how Shen Tangning could still act arrogantly in front of her when she saw her husband fooling around with another woman right under her nose.
The image of the other person's devastated expression unconsciously flashed through her mind, and she felt a surge of satisfaction. She picked up the sweet soup and headed towards Ruyi Residence.
It was already dark, and the lights in the bedroom were off. Chi Yan hadn't returned yet. When Ba Liang, who was guarding the door, saw her, he immediately became wary: "What are you doing here again?!"
He hadn't forgotten that it was because this woman had barged into the study that he had been scolded by the young master!
Wang Zhi Ning looked innocent: "I was ordered by the Madam to bring soup to the young master."
Ba Liang glanced at the soup bowl in her hand, not wanting to disappoint Madam Chi's kindness, and frowned, saying, "Just give it to me!"
She didn't insist, handed him the things, and even thanked him politely: "Thank you for your trouble."
After handing it over, she left decisively.
When Ba Liang came out and didn't see anyone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this woman had really been shameless and refused to leave, he really wouldn't know what to do.
As soon as she left Ruyi Residence, Wang Zhi Ning's eyes darkened, and she secretly began to make plans.
Shen Tangning's schedule was very regular. Generally speaking, after she rested, the servants in the courtyard would also go to rest one after another.
In addition, Chi Yan has been coming home very late lately, so at this time only Ba Liang, who was beside Chi Yan, was still awake in the study. However, Ba Liang's mind didn't seem to be working very well, so it wasn't difficult to get rid of him.
At midnight, Wang Zhi Ning saw Chi Yan return to the courtyard. She waited patiently for a while, and then saw Ba Liang go to the kitchen, seemingly to boil bath water for Chi Yan. Only then did she tiptoe towards Ruyi Residence.
——
After a busy day, Chi Yan didn't forget that he still needed to explain things to Shen Tangning. However, upon glancing around, he saw that the bedroom lights were already off, so he put his mind to it for the time being and planned to sneak in after he finished washing up.
Upon entering the study, he noticed a bowl of warm sweet soup on the desk and couldn't help but think:
Ba Liang certainly wouldn't be that meticulous. Could this have been prepared for him by Shen Tangning?
With a slight smile, he opened the soup bowl without any suspicion.
——
Wang Zhi Ning arrived at the study door, which was half-open. She bit her lip and quietly pushed it open. Chi Yan was lying on the low couch with his back to her. She noticed that the sweet soup on the table had been touched.
She forced a smile and slowly walked forward, knowing that time was precious. With each step she took, a piece of her clothing fell off, until she was left with only a thin undershirt.
"Young Master..."
Wang Zhi Ning climbed onto the couch and leaned closer, placing her hand on Chi Yan's shoulder and breathing softly against his neck.
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and when she saw who was in front of her, her smile froze on her face.
