Girlfriend?
The manâs face sank instantly. He was about to speak up when the woman next to him covered his mouth with her palm.
âWhy wasnât I told that he has a girlfriend?â
The other party sounded displeased. âThis matter has nothing to do with you. Tell me the truth now. Why do you have his cell phone?â
Ye Erruo stroked the manâs chest like a purring kitten.
âHeâs sleeping next to me. Why do you think I have his phone?â
âSleeping next to you?â The girl on the other end of the line almost went berserk. âShameless sl*t! How dare you dope him! Do you know who he is? Youâll be killed when he wakes up.â
The woman in question stifled a snigger. âIâm so scared.â
This âgirlfriendâ of his was truly scary!
âB*tch! I wonât let you off if you dare do anything to Brother Jiangye.â
âAre you lecturing me as his girlfriend?â
âYou just wait and see!â The girl on the phone seemed to know the man very well. Other than Ye Erruo, he didnât have the hots for any other women and would definitely not touch any dubious female characters.
This b*tch must have drugged him!
âThatâs enough, Qing Ning!â The man pulled her hand away from his mouth and reprimanded the caller severely.
âB-Brother Jiangye...â Her b*tchy voice immediately turned sweet and soft.
Qing Ning?
Ye Erruo looked at him with a cocked brow. That was the girl whoâd had a childhood crush on her husband, wasnât it?
She had heard this from her former boyfriend. Qing Ning was the daughter of one of Grandpa Linâs good friends. When they had still been children, she had met Mo Jiangye and had visited the Linsâ residence daily ever since until sheâd gone abroad to study at fifteen years old.
âWho gave you permission to address me as your boyfriend?â He interrogated her frigidly.
The girl replied wryly, âI-I was afraid that this woman was up to no good so I thought I should throw in some threats.â
The lady on the bed sucked her lips before hooking her arms coquettishly around his neck and drawling, âHubby, we should have dinner now.â
Putting his arms around her waist, he reached for the tablet next to the bed and passed it to her. âYou can order what you like, but no more prawns.â
She glimpsed at him. Alright, Iâll order crabs instead!
âH-Hubby?â The voice on the other end of the line sounded incredulous.
âBrother Jiangye, are... are you married?â
âAddress me as âbrotherâ or Mo Jiangye.â He corrected her sternly.
Biting her lower lip, Qing Ning probed again, âAre... Are you really married?â
âYes.â
âHubby, what do you wanna eat?â She deliberately interrupted their conversation by constantly calling him âhubbyâ.
âIâll eat whatever you order.â His reply was soft and gentle.
âHow about raw oyster...â
âThatâs not allowed!â He cut her off tyrannically and deleted the item she had just clicked on the tablet. âYouâre not allowed to order any seafood. Get some tonic instead. This... and this...â He put his arms around her from behind and carefully went through the menu.
âWhy donât we simply order a candlelight dinner?â She teased him with a soft chuckle before she added loudly, âWeâll order some red wine too.â
âHow can you think of alcohol when youâre on your period? Ye Erruo, do you wanna die?â
The line hadnât been hung up. The man was too engrossed in ordering dinner for his wife to remember that he was on the phone. This childhood friend of his was too insignificant to be given a second thought.
âYe Erruo?â The caller let out an exclamation. How could that be? That woman was Ye Erruo?
The manâs eyes moved across the phone as he quipped, âDo you have anything else to say? If you donât, Iâll hang up now.â
âNo, no, no! Brother Jiangye, Iâm returning home tomorrow.â She had initially planned to return next week, but it looked like the situation warranted her immediate return.
âOh. Is there anything else?â
