No matter what request she made, Mu Yuansheng planned on rejecting it.

After dinner, Meng Ying stared at him intensely.

Mu Yuansheng wanted to escape.

Upstairs.

Mu Yuansheng walked into the bedroom.

Meng Ying wanted to follow him inside.

“Your bedroom is next door.”

“Are we going to sleep in separate rooms?” Meng Ying pouted unhappily.

Mu Yuansheng had seen women who would make the first move, but he had never seen a woman who was as shameless as her.

And this so-called shameless woman had become his wife.

“Yeah.”

“Why?” Meng Ying’s emotions were written all over her face.

She was obviously displeased. “You are my husband. Shouldn’t we sleep on the same bed?”

Mu Yuansheng was speechless.

Finally, under her pitiful gaze, he let her into his bedroom.

Meng Ying entered the room, beaming with joy.

She was about to jump onto the bed when Mu Yuansheng stopped her. “Go take a shower first.”

“Okay.”

Soon, Meng Ying was done showering.

She was wrapped in a towel.

Her hair was wet, and there were beads of water on her neck down to her chest.

Her skin was so fair that it looked as if it had been soaked in milk. The water droplets on her collarbone were like diamonds embedded. She was so beautiful that it was beyond comparison.

Her neck was elegant, her limbs were slender, and her figure was curvy and sexy.

Her innocent eyes were even more alluring.

Mu Yuansheng was a man, and it was reasonable for him to have some physiological reactions.

He avoided eye contact. “Blow your hair dry.”

“Help me.” Meng Ying requested in a tender voice.

Mu Yuansheng frowned.

Meng Ying pursed her pink lips and lowered her head, staring at her toes.

She acted as if she would not blow her hair dry if he did not help her.

In the end, Mu Yuansheng failed to resist.

He picked up the hairdryer to dry her hair.

He ran his fingers through her hair. His movements were awkward and he seemed to have tugged on her hair a few times.

He had never done anything so carefully before.

He held his breath and gave his full attention to the task at hand.

She had long hair with many split ends, so it would take some time to blow dry it.

It took about ten minutes to completely dry her hair.

“Thank you, Hubby.” Meng Ying smiled at him sweetly.

Mu Yuansheng put down the hairdryer and was dazzled by her smile. “Let’s go to bed.”

“Okay.” Meng Ying quickly crawled into his bed and blinked at him. “Hubby, I’ll wait for you.”

Mu Yuansheng almost slipped.

He went to the bathroom and stayed there for an hour.

When he came out of the bathroom, the woman was on her side with her dark hair spread out on the pillow.

He stood by the bed, feeling scared.

After hesitating for a long time, he lifted the blanket and tried to distance himself from her.

Being on the same bed as a woman was a first for him.

And she was a straightforward and provocative one at that.

Lying on the bed, he deliberately controlled his breathing.

He tilted his head to look at her and was reminded about the moment she woke up in the study early afternoon.

She didn’t look like she had just woken up from a nightmare.

Her eyes were obviously on guard, akin to that of a sleeping beast.

No matter how well she tried to hide it, she looked as if she was wary at all times and would immediately counterattack whenever danger was nearby.

The look in her eyes made him suspect that she wasn’t truly a silly person.

But if she wasn’t silly, why did she jump into a river?

If she had not been rescued in time, her life would’ve ended back then.

Mu Yuansheng had a lot of questions in his mind. But he knew that it would take him some time to answer them.

…

Meng Ying thought that she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but she didn’t expect that she would immediately fall asleep the moment she touched the bed.

When she woke up, there was no one beside her.

The towel on her body had long loosened up.

She calmly wrapped the towel around herself and stepped on the ground barefooted.

She pulled open the door and looked around.

No one was present.

She returned to her bedroom to change her clothes and went downstairs after washing up.

“Madam, breakfast is ready.” Auntie Lian welcomed her at the foot of the stairs.

Meng Ying walked towards the dining table.

Before she sat down, two men came down from upstairs.

The one walking in front was Mu Yuansheng, followed by a tall and sturdy man with good looks.

Of course, he was not as handsome as Mu Yuansheng.

“Hubby.” Meng Ying opened her mouth.

Her soft voice was filled with sweetness that could easily make a man’s heart tremble.

Mu Yuansheng had already known how charming she was, so he remained relatively calm. “This is Ah Da. He’ll accompany you whenever you go out in the future.”

Ah Da stood behind Mu Yuansheng and looked at her calmly.

Meng Ying pouted. “Why do I need him to accompany me? He’s not my husband.”

“Cough, cough!” Ah Da clenched his fist and placed it by his mouth before turning his head away.

Mu Yuansheng took a deep breath and breathed out slowly.

“I have work to do and can’t accompany you at all times. Ah Da will drive you if you want to go out.”

“Okay—” Meng Ying’s face instantly brimmed with a smile. “The husband is in charge of earning money to support the family, while I’m in charge of being as beautiful as a flower.”

Ah Da resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

She was indeed a fool. If she had a brain, she would definitely not say such things.

He started wondering why Mr. Mu insisted on marrying her.

Mu Yuansheng took out a card and handed it to Meng Ying. “Use this card if you want to buy anything. There’s no pin to it.”

Meng Ying took the card and looked at it. “Thank you, hubby.”

With lightning speed, she kissed Mu Yuansheng’s face and quickly left.

She waved the card around happily.

Ah Da was almost petrified.

The silly woman actually kissed the Ninth Master!

Most importantly, the Ninth Master actually allowed it!

Oh my god.

The Ninth Master was tainted by a silly woman just like that.

Ah Da’s heart ached so much that he almost wanted to clutch his chest and collapse onto the floor right there and then.

Mu Yuansheng clenched his fists tightly and endured it silently.

She was the wife he had married.

It was only right and proper for her to kiss him!

Slowly he unclenched his fists. “Keep her safe when you are with her outside.”

“Roger that, Ninth Master!”

…

Meng Ying leaned against the car window and looked at the traffic outside.

Compared to the dark Honesty World, this world was filled with lights at all times.

There was no bloodbath, no fights, and no need to worry about sneak attacks.

What a nice place…

When they reached the busiest area of Yu City, Meng Ying went into every shop on the shopping street.

Ah Da would have a few more bags in his hands every time they left a store.

She did not hesitate at all when it came to swiping the card.

Whenever she was tired, she would look for a coffee shop to order a cup of coffee and a dessert.

Ah Da did not follow her in and just stood guard outside.

At another table, three women were talking with each other.

“Is Meng Ying really dead? I haven’t seen her around in days.”

“I don’t think so. If she’s dead, her family would at least hold a funeral for her.”

“It’s good that she’s dead. She’s been pestering Young Master Lu all day. Looking at that ugly face of hers makes me nauseous.”

“If she was prettier, Young Master Lu would have eaten her up long ago. But no one can really bear to touch her with her face like that.”

“Hahaha, I’ve never seen such an ugly woman. Why is Meng Xin so pretty then?”

“Meng Xin and Meng Ying are not biological sisters. They have different fathers and mothers. Of course, their looks can’t be compared.”

“To be honest, it’s a little boring without Meng Ying as our plaything.”

“That’s true. I used to tease her like she was a cat or dog. It was really fun.”

Meng Ying stood up slowly and walked to their table.

She smiled sweetly. “Beautiful ladies, I heard that you like cats and dogs?”

An Xinyu glanced at Meng Ying. Women always feel envious and jealous looking at other beautiful women.

They had seen many beauties in the social circle of Yu City.

However, they simultaneously frowned when they saw her.

When did such a beautiful woman appear in Yu City?

Looking at her outfit, she must be from a wealthy family.

“Who are you?” Zou Jiao stared at her warily.

Meng Ying maintained her sweet smile.

Her facial features were so exquisite that they looked like they were drawn by the best artist of the contemporary world.

She looked at the coffee in front of Zou Jiao, picked it up, and sniffed it.

Zou Jiao frowned.

An Xinyu shouted unhappily. “Who are you? We don’t know you!”

Meng Ying raised her hand and splashed the coffee onto An Xinyu’s face.

Her actions were so unpredictable that it was impossible for them to guard against them.

Meng Ying used both of her hands.

She pressed Zou Jiao’s head with her left hand and Ni Yunqian’s head with her right.

Then, she beamed with a smile. “Let’s get to know each other again, shall we? This one’s Meng Ying—”

She pressed their faces into the cake at the same time.
