The following morning when the servant brought the groceries home, she was astonished to find two pairs of men’s shoes on the rack. When she had left the night before, there were only two pairs of women’s shoes. What happened last night?
She made breakfast and was about to leave when four people came out of two bedrooms.
Startled for a second, she smiled brightly. “Lady, I have got the breakfast ready. You and you friends can have it now. I need to leave.”
Luckily, she had spotted four pairs of shoes and made four sets of breakfast, otherwise the guests would have starved.
Zhao Anan nodded expressionlessly. The moment the servant left, she started to push Mu Qing out. “Get out of here now. No breakfast for you. Go and eat wind on the street!”
Ning hadn’t expected that Zhao Anan would push off Mu Qing so early in the morning? Weren’t they… getting on well with each other last night?
Ignoring them, Jing Yichen brought Shangguan Ning to the table and said calmly, “Don’t mind them, let’s eat. Zhao Anan’s servant is paid highly by my aunt and what she has made should taste ok.”
Shangguan Ning whispered to him, “So, they always argue like this?”
Jing Yichen nodded. “Yes, it is lucky that Mu Qing has not been punched today.”
Shangguan Ning threw a worried look at Mu Qing. He looked so pitiful.
Mu Qing cried loudly. “What do you mean, Zhao Anan? You slept with me last night and now you want to throw me out? You are so fickle! You must take responsibility for me. I am not a disposable condom. I don’t want a one-night-stand. I want to have fun for a lifetime!”
Zhao Anan pushed him out of the door. “We had a one-night-stand. I am not asking you to take responsibility for me. Just get on with it.”
“I will take responsibility. I will take responsibility for your entire life!” Mu Qing didn’t want to let go of the door which he was gripping hard as he was pushed outwards.
Zhao Anan turned a deaf ear to what he said as she tossed his shoes out, and bit him violently on his hand. In pain, Mu Qing released the grip onto the door and Zhao Anan slammed it shut. She refused to open the door no matter how much the man outside knocked on it.
Zhao Anan came and sat at the table, picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started to gulp down food. Shangguan Ning gasped.
How could she be so doughty!
Some traces of kisses were still on her neck, indicating how crazy had the night been with Mu Qing. But she had driven away the man this morning and could still eat with a good appetite.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Zhao Anan showed her usual face. With her eyes on the crystal shrimp in front of Shangguan Ning, she asked, “Why are you not eating? I will take it if you don’t want it. It’s my favorite dish!”
She was about to pick up the shrimp with chopsticks when another pair of chopsticks clashed with hers and took the shrimp away.
“Honey, don’t your like shrimp most? Eat as much as you can!”
Zhao Anan glared at her cold cousin but dared not raise a hue and cry – Jing Yichen was quite intimidating.
She pursed her lips and turned to the sweet potato and yam pastry when her chopsticks failed once again – Jing Yichen had deftly picked up the pastry and added it to Shangguan Ning’s plate. “Honey, this is good for your health. Eat as much as you can.”
For the very first time, Shangguan Ning ignored Zhao Anan but said in a very sweet voice, “Thank you so much, my dearest husband! You are so nice!”
Zhao Anan couldn’t tolerate it any more. She banged the table and bellowed, “What is it going on? Are you showing off your love here to abuse me, the single woman?!”
Shangguan Ning finally turned to her and said innocently, “Your fiancé is just outside the door! How can you be a single woman? If you don’t allow him in, we will keep showing off our love in your house today. As for the breakfast… don’t eat it, because a single woman usually doesn’t need to be fed.”
Zhao Anan thought that she was really unlucky to have such a friend. Why was her best friend helping the scumbag Mu Qing?
She didn’t know what had he done to her the night before. He didn’t get tired. He did it so many times that she nearly died out of passion. She almost couldn’t get up in the morning because of lethargy in her whole body.
But under Shangguan Ning’s pressure, she had to go and open the door for Mu Qing. Otherwise this seemingly gentle and lovely Shangguan Ning might come up with an even worse method. She had been with Jing Yichen for too long to stay pure.
Mu Qing came in with a sunken face. The moment he caught sight of Zhao Anan, he put a silver needle into her exposed neck.
Within one second, Zhao Anan felt numbness in her arms and legs. She couldn’t move any more.
She screamed, “You scumbag! You lied about never using needles on me. Are you still a man?”
“You know pretty well that I am a man. In case you have forgotten, I have plenty of time to prove today that I am a man and one, full of vigor. If you are so eager, I can skip breakfast to prove my ability right now.”
Mu Qing picked up Zhao Anan and put her over his shoulders. Then he came to the dining table, and settled her on the chair.
“As for my promise about never using needles or drugs on you… just take it as a bag of wind! From today on, that promise doesn’t count anymore. You will never stay still if I don’t use any force on you. I dare you to shut me out next time, I will feed you such a drug that you will beg me until you can’t get off the bed for half a year. Try it if you don’t believe me! I am not a patient person, and I can’t allow my wife to stay away from me anymore.”
Unable to move, Zhao Anan got so angry that she almost bit off her own teeth. But she knew Mu Qing well enough to understand that no begging would work when he got angry.
She turned to her best friend for help, instantly. “Ning, see, it is you who forced me to let him in, and now he is using tricks on me. Come and help me pull off the silver needle. I feel so uncomfortable to have the needle inside me. I am so hungry but I can’t eat any more.”
Shangguan Ning looked at her with a smile. Then she said something that struck Zhao Anan like a blow. “You have finally fallen for our trap. I thought that Yichen and I hadn’t acted well enough. Anyway, now that you are completely under Doctor Mu’s control, my mission is complete. We are full now and will be off. You should enjoy your breakfast with your fiancé in peace.”
