“It’s okay; they want to put all the blame on Shu’er, but the evidence is there. Shu’er is innocent.”

Mei Yun’s tone was protective of Mei Shu.

Mei Mu listened, feeling a pang in her heart.

Before Mei Shu returned to the Mei family, she was the one who received their father’s wholehearted affection.

But now, everything had been taken away by Mei Shu!

“Dad,” Mei Mu held back the bitterness in her throat and choked out, “Dad, I miss you a lot.”

Mei Yun’s initially content expression when talking about Mei Shu froze for a moment. “The impact of the last incident on the Mei family was too significant. 1 can’t let you come back yet. Just stay there and don’t let your mother’s efforts go to waste.”

After speaking, Mei Yun hung up the phone without any hesitation.

He was not ready to forget everything Mei Mu had done with such a simple show of goodwill.

She needed to learn her lesson!

With a stern face, he tossed the phone back to Wang Yue and said coldly, “Let’s sleep.”

Wang Yue knew that he was still angry with Mei Mu. She anxiously clutched the phone, stared at Mei Yun’s cold back for a long time, and suddenly made a decision.

She hesitated before actively unbuttoning her pajamas and lifting the corner of the blanket, slowly moving closer to Mei Yun’s body.

The man had just finished showering, and his body was filled with the fragrance of shower gel. He took good care of himself. Despite being over fifty years old, his physique didn’t show the typical middle-aged flabbiness. Instead, it exuded the charm of a mature man.

He suddenly felt a hot body pressing against his arm.

He opened his eyes in surprise and met Wang Yue’s cautious gaze. “What are you doing?”

Wang Yue, soft and seemingly boneless, leaned against his body, her voice as gentle as possible. “Husband, 1 know I haven’t been doing well enough, and 1 haven’t made you satisfied. 1 want to make it up to you, to let you know that no matter what, my heart has always been with you.”

Mei Yun clearly didn’t know how to react, but he had no intention of resisting either.

Although he wasn’t sure if he loved Wang Yue, she was his wife after all. The two of them were sleeping in the same bed, and if something was going to happen, it seemed only natural.

During the dinner party, he had heard those voices from inside the guest room, which had piqued his interest. Now, with a woman leaning into his embrace, willing to engage in such activities with him, he was starting to have certain thoughts.

As a long-married couple, they were in perfect sync when it came to matters of the evening, and soon there were ambiguous sounds coming from the room.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Mei Yan went downstairs for breakfast and noticed the change in Wang Yue.

He slyly approached Mei Shu and, while nibbling on a steamed bun, whispered, “Sister, have Aunt Wang and Dad made up?”

Mei Shu, with a poker face, shot Wang Yue, who was smiling sweetly, a sidelong glance and said, “Even you noticed?”

Mei Yan scolded, “What do you mean, ‘even you noticed’? 1 have keen observation skills too, you know. Sister, I’m not like Third Brother!”

Mei Shu glanced over at Me Jjing.

He was holding a steamed bun in one hand and a bowl of soy milk in the other, eating happily. Occasionally, he noticed their mysterious glances and immediately stopped chewing, looking unnatural as he asked, “What’s wrong with me? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Mei Yan shook his head first, letting out a long sigh.

Mei Shu followed with a suppressed laugh.

Mei Jing, feeling uneasy from their reactions, forgot about eating. He sat up straight and asked, “What’s going on? What’s with the two of you and your expressions?”

“Why are you making a fuss so early in the morning?” Mei Yun entered from outside and sternly took his seat at the head of the table.

Mei Jing glared at Mei Yan, annoyed, and begrudgingly responded, “Dad, good morning. We’re not making a fuss; we were just talking.”

Mei Yun clearly had no intention of arguing with him. He reached for his breakfast, but Wang Yue had already prepared a set of utensils for him.

“Thank you,” Mei Yun said, feeling somewhat embarrassed about last night.

He awkwardly thanked her and began to focus on his own meal.

Wang Yue, trying to please him, smiled and said, “I am your wife, and doing these things for you is only natural. There’s no need for you to be so polite.”

As she spoke, she gently massaged his shoulders.

In front of the children, Mei Yun was a little embarrassed. He directly held her hand, sighed, and advised, “You should sit down and eat as well. We are family.”

Only then did Wang Yue sit down comfortably. She personally served a bowl of soy milk to Mei Shu and said, “Shu’er, in the future, just tell Auntie what you want for breakfast, and I’ll prepare it for you immediately. If you have any complaints about Auntie, feel free to tell me, and I’ll make improvements immediately.”

Had Wang Yue taken the wrong medicine?

Mei Yan looked at his sister in shock, but Mei Shu remained as composed as ever.

He truly admired Mei Shu’s composure.

In the face of such a nauseating display from Wang Yue, she could still eat!

Mei Shu gave Mei Yan a calming look and raised her eyes to smile at Wang Yue, “Auntie, I’m happy that you and Dad are so loving. Since Mom left, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen our home so warm..”
