Chapter 109 - Age Doesn't Matter

A week after, Bai Jingye and his mother were dropped at the airport by both Lu Mengjie and Han Yizhou. They were leaving back to the mainland and it was only right, as his 'wife' to drop her husband and her mother-in-law. Although that was just a pretense of course, an excuse to spend time with the other man after dropping them. If Bai Jingye was married to Lu Mengjie, what she was doing could be considered as cheating but they were not. 

Inside the car, on their way to the place where Han Yizhou had planned on bringing her, Lu Mengjie's phone began ringing.

"Who is it?" Han Yizhou, who was currently driving, inquired.

"It's teacher Qiang," said Lu Mengjie while staring at the phone's screen. It was not just a simple call but instead, it was a video call. It suddenly made her wonder why he was suddenly calling her?

Lu Mengjie wasn't worried when she accepted the call. It was safe to answer since the only person she was with was Han Yizhou. 

As the call went through, the face that greeted her on the screen was not Sloth but instead, Lust. Her cheerful, bright smile was seen the moment she saw her. She was currently disguised as a boy, a pretty boy. She was also wearing the same uniform of when they first met. Behind her were the layers of chocolates. Ah, she must be at work then.

"Sister Xue!" She exclaimed happily. "Did you miss me?"

The call was put on speaker so the couple could hear her loud and clear. Han Yizhou ended up eyeing the phone for a second when he heard the familiar feminine voice. Since he was currently driving, he had to return his gaze back on the street without mumbling a single word.

"You're… using Teacher's Qiang phone? Why are you calling through his phone?" She remembered giving her contacts to the both of them.

"I borrowed it!" Though judging from the mischievous look in her eyes, it was more like she stole it. "I lost my phone a few weeks ago so he finally allowed me to borrow his phone. Don't worry, I left a note so that he'll know that his phone is with me."

Yup. She definitely took his phone without his permission. Well, she was still in her teens, this naughtiness was only a part of her growing up. Her bubbly personality was something that was already a part of her. Her liveliness was actually contagious that Lu Mengjie couldn't help but think that she was like a little sister who was admiring her big sister.

"So what made you call me?" she thought that there must be a reason why she called her, right? If there wasn't then why go as far as to steal another person's phone?

"I just want to check on you," the girl replied with a small smile. She wasn't able to hide the uneasiness in her eyes and this was caught by Lu Mengjie.

Her left brow was raised as she had a dubious look on her face. There really must be something else. "Spit it out," she demanded, startling Lust at the sudden authoritative tone in her voice.

As time passed by, Lu Mengjie has been slowly reverting back to her old self. Lust noticed these changes if she based it on the last time she saw her. She was glad to see her this way to the point where her face brightened up but soon darkened at the reminder of something.

The shift in her expressions amused Lu Mengjie. Lust was so readable to the point that was entertaining to see her that way. She was tempted to tease her but it was not the time to do that. She noticed the anxious look in her eyes and she was going to find out the reason behind it.

"Um… actually, the reason why I called you was because…" She paused and was rather hesitant to continue. 

Lu Mengjie waited patiently. She knew that the teenager was going to spill it. She had no choice but to tell her. 

"Madam Red is in Japan," she finally said. 

Lu Mengjie knitted her brows in confusion. "Madam Red?"

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Lust further explained for her, "Madam Red is Gluttony, sister Xue. We also call her Madam G. She is one of the seven you've appointed."

Madam G? She remembered the woman she met at the department store last week. She addressed herself the same way on the note that was given to her. Madam G… G for Gluttony.

"Does she know that Mengjie is here?" This time, it was Han Yizhou who finally spoke, his eyes still locked in front, at the road.

"Eh? Is brother-in-law with you?" Lust asked, blinking a few times.

Lu Mengjie adjusted her phone just so the woman on the other side could see Han Yizhou driving. 

The moment Lust saw the man, her eyes sparkled and she instantly drooled for him. "Brother-in-law is so handsome! Sister Xue, if you and brother are going to have a son, give him to me, okay? I'll wait for him to grow up then marry him!"

Lu Mengjie: "..."

Han Yizhou: "..."

"Age doesn't matter when it comes to love. I'm also pretty confident that I will still be a pretty lady like Madam G! Sister Xue's beautiful genes mixed with brother-in-law's sexy genes, I'm pretty sure your baby will become the number one beauty in the world and I must have him if you're going to have a son!"

The couple was speechless at her brazen remark. At some point, Lu Mengjie couldn't help but see herself as the teenage girl. She must have infected her with her love for beauty in the past. It so happened that the last time Lust saw Lu Mengjie, she wasn't able to notice her baby bump because of the baggy dress that she was wearing. Aside from that, Lu Mengjie was the type of woman whose baby bump was small despite being months pregnant already. 

Han Yizhou cleared his throat to regain his composure. "Mengjie is-"

"If that's the case then you will have to wait for a long time until I get pregnant. Yizhou- Liwei here is infertile after all," she quickly interrupted, lying about her pregnancy since she was quick to notice that Lust may have been clueless about it.
