Chapter 141: Hidden Secrets!
After all, he knew his own situation well. Even though he had married a young, beautiful wife, now that he was middle-aged, he had no choice but to admit—his physical condition was steadily declining. By the time he finished his daily affairs, he was already mentally and physically exhausted by nightfall.
Originally, his plan was to make a bit of effort, have Feng Yin give birth to a son, and then raise him properly to inherit the family business.
Feng Yin had the same goal. A mother’s status rises with her son—what had she married Li Yansheng for, if not for his wealth?
But one hand couldn’t clap on its own—and unfortunately, Old Li just couldn’t deliver!
They’d been married for five whole years now, and aside from sleeping in the same bed at night, he hadn’t laid a finger on her.
But the Li family’s status in Binhai meant that Feng Yin didn’t dare step out of line—not even a little. If people heard, they probably wouldn’t believe it: five years of marriage, and she was still a pure and untouched maiden.
Of course, Li Mengyue didn’t know any of this. At the moment, her full attention was focused on the voice on the other end of the call—Ye Xiao.
“Hello? Is that you, Xiao Xiao? Ah—no, I didn’t mean anything by that—Xiao Xiao, you finally decided to call me!”
Li Mengyue’s voice was flustered, her words coming out in a jumbled rush.
“That’s right~ Useless Big Sis~ Been so long—did you miss me?”
Ye Xiao tilted her head as she listened to Mengyue’s voice over the phone. Something felt a little off.
She was clearly the one at fault, yet from the sound of it, the one apologizing as if she had done wrong was Mengyue.
Ye Xiao didn’t quite get it. But as long as she didn’t show weakness—so what if she was wrong?
When all those older sisters had come charging at her so aggressively, didn’t they have any fault in the matter?
Besides, if they hadn’t come on so strong that day, how could that perverted lolicon have gotten her way?
“Xiao Xiao, I’m sorry. It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have pushed my problems onto you. I just… I panicked when my dad suddenly said I had to go through with a political marriage. Please don’t ignore me, okay? I’ve had over twenty days to reflect—I really shouldn’t have treated you that way…”
Li Mengyue’s voice was soft and sincere—genuinely apologetic.
A question mark slowly rose over Ye Xiao’s forehead.
If I’m the one typing a question mark, it’s not because I’m confused—it’s because I think YOU are.
What was all this now?
That said, the time she’d spent playing around with Sister Mengyue and Sister Qingyue in that little “threesome adventure” was the most intense experience she’d had—no exaggeration.
But such trivial matters? Ye Xiao wouldn’t hold them against anyone.
After all, these big sisters—they were Ye Xiao’s wings!
Without them, she could never take flight.
“How could I ever be mad at you, Sis? I’m too busy feeling sorry for you~ Why don’t we just meet up, Useless Big Sis Mengyue~ No time like the present!”
It had been a while since she’d seen this strong, physically capable big sister. Ye Xiao genuinely missed her a little.
At one point, Ye Xiao had even thought this big sister was a bit dense—maybe even a short-tempered, muscle-headed jock-type.
Who knows what had been going through her head over the past twenty-odd days?
Had she just… changed personalities?
Was self-PUA (Psychological self-abuse) trending now?
“Xiao Xiao? You really mean it? That’s great!”
“Of course I mean it, Useless Big Sis! I’d never lie to a pretty big sister~”
I only let pretty big sisters experience joy deep into their soul~
“Then let’s meet at Hongxiu Teahouse! Xiao Xiao, have you eaten? It’s still dinner time—we can eat together there!”
Li Mengyue was suddenly full of energy, speaking excitedly.
Xiao Xiao—so small, so fragrant, so soft!
Over twenty days! She’d endured more than twenty days without Ye Xiao—did anyone know how she had survived them?
Only Wu Ma and Mengyue herself knew what those days were like.
“Then it’s settled—see you soon, Useless~ Big~ Sis~”
After hanging up, Ye Xiao’s lips curled into a slight smile. She’d originally thought this encounter with Li Mengyue might be as dull as with the other big sisters—but now it looked like there might be a pleasant surprise waiting.
Meanwhile, on Li Mengyue’s end, the moment the call ended, she rolled out of bed, threw open her wardrobe, and seriously began pondering what outfit to wear for meeting Ye Xiao.
Wu Ma, having just reported to Feng Yin about Mengyue’s situation, sneaked back to spy on her again.
Was Miss really in a relationship now?
If the report she’d just tattled on was wrong, she’d be in trouble. But if it turned out to be true, Madam would definitely reward her generously later.
She crouched outside the bedroom door—looking every bit like she was spying, yet trying not to be obvious.
“Wu Ma? What are you doing out there? Come in and help me pick an outfit!”
A woman in love had zero IQ. Li Mengyue quickly noticed Wu Ma’s presence but didn’t think too much of it, calling her in directly.
“Ah… Miss…” Wu Ma was startled on the spot.
“What are you spacing out for? Hurry and help me!” Li Mengyue said as she dragged Wu Ma in from outside.
Having just tattled, Wu Ma was feeling guilty and avoided eye contact.
But seeing that Mengyue just wanted help picking clothes, she relaxed a little.
“Miss, I’m just an old lady. What do I know about fashion for young people?”
“True that!” Li Mengyue nodded seriously. What Wu Ma said made a lot of sense.
Wu Ma was already in her fifties. The outfits she’d pick—would Xiao Xiao even like them?
“Then you go do your own thing.”
Hearing this, Wu Ma let out a deep sigh of relief. But she was now absolutely certain—Miss was definitely in love!
Wu Ma might not be up-to-date with fashion, but after serving Li Mengyue for so many years— If Miss so much as stuck out her little butt, Wu Ma would know what kind of fart she was about to let.
Having narrowly escaped trouble, Wu Ma awkwardly backed out of the room.
Meanwhile, Li Mengyue went into deep contemplation. It was January—cold weather. The outfit had to be stylish, elegant, and most importantly—something Ye Xiao would like.
That… was the real challenge.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit her: if men liked Romantic Seduction-brand stockings, would a girl like Ye Xiao like them too?
With that thought, Li Mengyue pulled a brand-new pair of black Romantic Seduction sheer tights from her wardrobe and slid them on.
Then she layered long pants on top and applied a light touch of makeup.
On the surface, it looked simple—but hidden underneath was a secret surprise!
After carefully checking herself in the mirror a few times and making sure everything was perfect, Li Mengyue grabbed her car keys and rushed out the door, afraid Ye Xiao might be kept waiting.
