So Xing Zheng had a woman he’d been wanting for years but hadn’t gotten?
His harem was truly vast. In just this short time, she already knew of two.
Moreover, his flippant tone and words were exactly like Xing Zheng’s.
Lin Mei muttered to herself, birds of a feather flock together. Xing Zheng’s good friend was as much a scoundrel as he was.
No wonder Xing Zheng had slept with her so easily. He was probably used to it.
Thinking about it, he and his fiancée were quite happy cheating on each other, each with a vast expanse of green fields over their heads.
Lin Mei pretended not to hear, "The noodles are ready."
Xing Zheng, holding his phone, got up and walked towards Lin Mei. They went to the dining room together.
There was only one bowl of noodles on the table. Xing Zheng asked her, "Aren't you hungry?"
Lin Mei: "Not hungry."
Xing Zheng took a bite of the noodles and praised Lin Mei's cooking, "The noodles you made, Lin Mei, are very delicious."
The innocent words took on a suggestive tone when spoken by him. Lin Mei was losing patience. "Are you satisfied, Mr. Xing? Can I leave after you've eaten?"
The man ate a few bites, put down his chopsticks, and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin. His gaze roamed over her wantonly, and his words were loaded with meaning, "My stomach is full, but other places aren't."
Lin Mei was uninterested. "You have plenty of fish in your pond, Mr. Xing. You can find someone else to satisfy you."
Xing Zheng raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "For example?"
Lin Mei blurted out, "For example, that hot and sexy beauty at the pub, or the one you've been wanting for years but haven't tasted!"
"Eavesdropping on my WeChat? You know exactly how many fish are in my pond," the man suddenly hooked her ankle, leaning in. "Still saying you're not jealous? Your mouth is so stubborn, do you want me to find a way to soften it for you?"
Lin Mei pushed him, emphasizing, "I'm afraid of getting dirty."
"If you're afraid of getting dirty, why did you come to me to sleep with?" The man gripped her chin, his dark eyes flashing with a dangerous light, like a wolf. "Regret it?"
Lin Mei wanted to say "yes," but Xing Zheng proved to her with his actions what "it's too late" meant.
From the dining room to the living room, and then to the guest room.
On the bed, Lin Mei's face was pressed into a soft pillow, her entire being enveloped by the man's burning pheromones.

When it was over, Lin Mei got up to get dressed. Just as she reached for her underwear, Xing Zheng snatched it away.
Lin Mei tried to snatch it back a few times, but Xing Zheng was quick, and she couldn't get it. Annoyed, she said, "Give it back to me!"
Xing Zheng played with the piece of fabric in his hand, smiling faintly. "This one today is also nice. I'll take it."
"I need to take a taxi home later!" Lin Mei looked at him as if he were crazy.
Xing Zheng curved his lips. "Simple, stay with me."
Lin Mei: "I don't have a habit of spending the night at a hookup's place."
Lin Mei stopped trying to get her underwear back and picked up her bra. Perhaps it was because Xing Zheng had angered her, but she fumbled with the clasp several times. Embarrassed and frustrated, Xing Zheng stepped forward and helped her fasten it, even playfully tugging at her shoulder strap.
Lin Mei managed to get dressed and went to the living room. Xing Zheng followed, impeccably dressed, holding her belongings.
Lin Mei: "Give them back to me."
Xing Zheng: "Then stay."
Lin Mei deeply regretted it. She shouldn't have spoken to this scoundrel.
Never mind. She remembered there were convenience stores and supermarkets outside the villa area. At worst, she could go in and buy disposable underwear.
Lin Mei picked up her bag to leave. Her phone suddenly rang. She took it out, and the screen clearly displayed the name "Li Min, Chen Qi's Mother."
Xing Zheng also saw it. "Auntie (Chen Qi's mother)."
His long fingers were still playing with the piece of fabric, like a child with a new toy. He pursed his lips and reminded her, "Your future mother-in-law's call. Aren't you going to answer?"
Of course, she couldn't not answer. Lin Mei took a few steps back before answering, "Auntie, is there something you need?"
"Lin Mei, is Chen Qi with you? Jingjing is in trouble. I've been calling Chen Qi, but his phone is off!"
Li Min's voice was anxious. Lin Mei frowned upon hearing this. "What happened to Chen Jing?"
Li Min: "The police station called saying she's suspected of selling... There must be some misunderstanding. Jingjing isn't that kind of person! We old folks aren't in Nanjiang. You and Chen Qi must help your sister..."
"Which police station is she at? I'll go take a look." Seeing how anxious the old lady was, Lin Mei couldn't just stand by.
Xing Zheng listened to the entire phone call. Seeing Lin Mei rushing to leave, he grabbed her. "Don't you want your things?"
Lin Mei had no mind for flirting with him now. "I have something to do."
Xing Zheng: "Going to clean up the mess for your boyfriend's sister?"
Lin Mei: "..."
"Friendly reminder, it's hard to get a taxi in the villa area." Xing Zheng returned the underwear in his hand to her. "Let's go, I'll give you a ride."
