When Shen Xizhou’s name was uttered by her , Shi Ning’s annoyance flared. “No,” she retorted sharply.
“Then who is it?” Mu Tiantian pressed, a hint of confusion in her voice.
“Qin Heye!” Shi Ning exclaimed, exasperated. “We’ve been married for three years; the marriage certificate was issued by the state!” Of course, Mu Tiantian knew Qin Heye was the name of the husband on Shi Ning’s marriage certificate. But to hear Shi Ning admit to him being her husband, and acting so obedient about not going out, was utterly astonishing for her —more shocking than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
Mu Tiantian’s voice cracked. “Did you quarrel with Shen Xizhou? I even suspect you’re not my little Ningning. Come to Dihua Club; let’s meet and talk!”
Shi Ning paused. Dihua Club. It was where she’d been drugged last time, and the culprit remained unknown. Mu Tiantian had been present at that ill-fated party. Shi Ning didn’t refuse. “Well, call other friends too.”
After hanging up, Shi Ning pondered for a moment, then called Qin Heye. He answered immediately, a testament to his attentiveness.
Shi Ning cut straight to the chase. “Qin Heye, I want to go to the Dihua Club.”
A frown audible in his voice as , Qin Heye refused instantly. “No!” Then with , a softer tone he continued , “Your foot has just healed, don’t run around.”
“It’s healed for ages , there’s no problem for me walking,” Shi Ning insisted, wiggling her ankle. It had been fine for two days, but Qin Heye had insisted on two more days of rest for the minor sprain.
Still, Qin Heye’s response was firm: “No.”
Shi Ning let out an indignant huff. “Qin Heye, I’m just informing you, not asking for your opinion!”
A moment of silence stretched across the line, followed by Qin Heye’s calm, yet heavy, voice. “Really?” The single word carried immense pressure, palpable even through the phone.
Shi Ning fell silent, glancing at the online comments scrolling before her.
[Recently, Shi Ning has been good to Qin Heye, and the big villain has also become tough. I love to watch him being so domineering to her. This is my big villain.]
[It’s not that he is tough now. Qin Heye has always been like this, domineering, cold and ruthless. It’s just that he has always been respectful and gentle to Shi Ning. This kind of Qin Heye is his nature.]
[Shi Ning was the one who celebrated the divorce at the Dihua Club last time and was drugged. As long as he still wants his wife, he will definitely not agree to Shi Ning going there.]
[In front of Shi Ning, the big villain who has his way is easy to talk to. As long as she acts like a spoiled child, let alone going to the Dihua Club, even if it’s to the moon, he will go to build a rocket right away for her trip.]
The comments enlightened Shi Ning. Qin Heye was far too reserved. His inability to articulate his feelings openly was a recipe for misunderstandings. So, he wanted her to act spoiled to get what she wanted? While she technically didn’t need his permission to go out, giving him a sense of security was undoubtedly the smart play.
Shi Ning softened her voice, letting it drip with sweetness. “Hubby~ Let me go, I promise to be back soon.”
Silence again on the other end, then Qin Heye’s voice, tinged with a peculiar ambiguity: “Say it again?”
Shi Ning, puzzled, looked to the barrage for guidance.
[I’m laughing to death, how can the villain be so cute, he was so happy to be called husband by the female supporting role that his soul almost flew away.]
[What’s even cuter is that he hurriedly clicked on the speaker, he was seriously discussing cooperation! Clicking on the speaker just to show off that he has a wife!]
[I’m dying! The female supporting role, who needs strong love feedback, is a great match for Qin Heye.]
Shi Ning understood. Qin Heye, that stoic man, simply wanted to hear her call him ‘husband’ again. How simple! Why couldn’t he just say it directly? His “Say it again” had made her think she’d said something wrong, something that had touched a nerve. Thank goodness for the comments, otherwise, she’d never decipher his thoughts.
Shi Ning’s voice became even softer, sweeter. “Husband~~”
“Yeah.” Qin Heye’s tone lifted slightly. “Okay go, but come back early.”
Shi Ning beamed. “Then I’ll go, bye. Muah.” She hung up, with a playful joy in her heart.
On the other end, Qin Heye gazed at his phone, the corners of his lips subtly curved upwards. Across from him, the project manager stared in stunned disbelief. The man known as the Iceberg President, Qin Heye, had actually smiled—a smile that looked like a melting iceberg.
“The relationship between Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin is so good, it’s really enviable,” the project manager ventured.
Qin Heye gave a low hum. “Sign the contract.”
“Huh?” The project manager blinked, then eagerly handed over the contract and pen. “Okay, okay, you sign here, and here…” The contract was signed swiftly.
The project manager watched Qin Heye leave, remaining in a daze for a long moment. “I have been running around the company for three months and still couldn’t sign the contract, but today it has been just signed so easily?” Whoever said that Mr. Qin was hard to talk to, she would be the first to disagree!
Dihua Club. Shi Ning headed straight for their usual Box 999. As soon as she settled in, the door opened. A woman with voluminous curly hair, clad in a tight, midriff-baring outfit and towering heels, the epitome of a sexy queen, appeared in the doorway,it was undoubtly Mu Tiantian.
“Tian…” Shi Ning began to call out, but then she saw Mu Tiantian’s bewildered expression as she looked at her, then backed out of the room. Shi Ning was confused.
Moments later, Mu Tiantian pushed the door open again, stepping back to double-check the box number. “999 is right.” She stared at Shi Ning. “…Beauty, did you go to the wrong box?”
Shi Ning grabbed a cherry tomato from the table and playfully tossed it at Mu Tiantian. “Are’nt we sisters? You’re so blind you can’t even recognize me?”
Mu Tiantian caught the tomato, let out a delighted squeal, and rushed to Shi Ning, embracing her in a tight hug and burying her face in Shi Ning’s nape, as if giving her a full facial cleanse. “Ahh! It’s my Ningning baby!” She pulled back, holding Shi Ning’s face. “I’m sorry, baby, I didn’t recognize you.” Mu Tiantian then planted two loud kisses on Shi Ning’s cheek. “mUa, mUa.”
[Wow, Mu Tiantian’s name and voice are so sweet, and the contrast is so big. I thought she was a 1.55 meter tall, chubby face, super cute soft girl, but I didn’t expect it to be a royal sister!]
[Really big! So beautiful! I also want a beautiful sister to stick to me, give me a face cleanser! I can even suffocate in it!]
Shi Ning was used to Mu Tiantian, who, despite her outwardly cool demeanor, was incredibly warm and enthusiastic towards her. Sometimes, almost overwhelmingly so. “Don’t kiss me, your saliva is all over my face,” she complained, trying to pull away.
Mu Tiantian ceased her barrage of kisses but kept Shi Ning’s face cupped in her hands, inspecting her. She noticed Shi Ning was wearing only lipstick, no other makeup. “It’s rare that you’re not wearing makeup, so what’s wrong with me kissing you a few more times? You still dislike my saliva!” Her eyes narrowed playfully. “Huh? Are you getting bolder?”
Shi Ning leaned her left cheek forward playfully. “No, no, Your Majesty the Queen wants to be treated equally, and this side also wants it.”
“M Ua!” Mu Tiantian readily obliged with two more enthusiastic kisses.
The two friends bantered for a while. Shi Ning felt a growing certainty that Mu Tiantian couldn’t have been involved in drugging her.
[Shi Ning looks very cold and domineering, but in fact she is a real soft girl. She likes kissing, hugging and acting coquettish the most. She is a good match for Mu Tiantian who likes to kiss soft girls.]
[In order to save Shi Ning, Mu Tiantian was deceived by a scumbag and went to Myanmar alone. She suffered inhuman torture and came back crazy and unconscious. I felt distressed and wanted to support the love between the two sisters.]
[The pattern has been opened. Now it is a monogamous system. The villain is the husband and Mu Tiantian is the wife. Perfect!]
