Chapter 900: 900

Yu Lili was a good cook, and she was especially good at making Braised Pork with Brown Sauce . Ou Ming enjoyed eating it every time . It was a special dish that took time and effort to perfect, so Yu Lili didn’t make it very often .

Today, she had noticed that the pork belly was at a good price, so she bought some . It took over forty minutes to cook, and she had been busy in the kitchen . By the time the meal was ready, it was almost seven o’clock in the evening .

She glanced at the clock and gave Ou Ming a call . The phone rang for a long time and he didn’t answer . Yu Lili called again, and it took several seconds before he picked up .

This time, there was no noise in the background . The atmosphere that Ou Ming was in was quiet, and only his voice could be heard as he answered, “Hello?”

Yu Lili was annoyed and a little angry when she replied, “Why haven’t you come back?”

The background was a bit too quiet, and his voice was followed by an echo . “Later,” he said, “I am having dinner with my mother . She is not an easy woman to get away from, so I will have to stay a bit longer . ”

Yu Lili subconsciously thought of the phone call in the morning .

His home and his mother . Why do those things make me feel so uncomfortable?

She wanted to ask, but she was afraid that he would dislike her for caring too much . She hesitated and said, “All right, take your time . ”

“Well, remember to eat . ” Ou Ming felt a little sorry for advising her, then hung up the phone .

Yu Lili looked at the table full of food and suddenly felt very upset . She got herself a bowl of rice and ate it slowly .

…

Just as Ou Ming hung up, Shen Manting opened the door . She walked in and saw that he was surprised . “There you are, why are you in the utility room?” she asked .

“No reason . ” Ou Ming put his phone into his pocket . He didn’t even want to look at her, so he turned away . As he was on his way out, Shen Manting stopped him and pulled him back . “Ou Ming, I am your future wife . Can you at least try to be nice to me?”

Ou Ming turned to look at her with a faint smile and said, “Shen Manting, do you think I would be engaged to you if it wasn’t for my mother?”

“You shouldn’t say that,” Shen Manting said testily . “You know your mother’s condition . Do you think she would even be alive if you didn’t have my brother’s help?”

Ou Ming raised his eyebrows . He looked at her with the most contemptuous expression possible and asked, “Shen Manting, since you are so pretty, how is it that you took a liking to a man like me? According to you, you can find whatever kind of man you want . So why are you so set on staying with me?

“I just like you . You don’t think that I don’t know every time you go to the nightclub? You don’t think that I’ll check on it?” Shen Manting walked over proudly . She looked at Ou Ming straight in the eyes and said, “It’s just like checking on your mistress . There is nothing that you can hide from me because I know everything . ”

Ou Ming looked at her, disgust in his eyes .

She is always like this, thinking that she is superior to everyone else, showing no empathy for others . She is self-satisfied, aggressive, and arrogant . She doesn’t understand that I can see right through her . It is clear that she has little power because she relies on Shen Luo’an too much . She is a paranoid idiot!

However, he couldn’t tell her how little power Shen Luo’an would soon have over him . At least, not yet . With one last sneer, he walked out .
