Chapter 1371: 1371

He was finally gone . Following Shen Luo’an’s departure, Shen Manting’s heart felt empty . In the darkness, the decadent scent of sex pierced her nostrils . She laid spread out on the soft, big bed as tears trickled out of the corners of her eyes .

It’s about time he went to Ye Youyou . I’ve had enough of living my life this way .

–

Yu Lili’s steps were hurried . She turned her head back . When she saw that Shen Luo’an had returned to the room long ago, she let out a sigh of relief . She picked up her phone and gave Ou Ming a call . The call connected quickly . He sounded very alert . It was obvious that he wasn’t asleep yet . “Hubby, where are you?” she asked .

Ou Ming’s surroundings were quiet . The rice timbre of his voice came through the phone . “I’m at the office . You can sleep with Granny Shen tonight . I’ll sleep here . ”

Yu Lili had not recovered from her shock . When she heard Ou Ming’s voice, she felt victimized as she said, “How could you leave without telling me? I knocked on your door just now, and it was Shen Luo’an who came out . I had such a fright!”

“Huh… Didn’t you go out with Granny Shen? I didn’t want to spoil your fun either,” Ou Ming replied . “After all, Shen Manting was once my fiancée . I felt that it would be inappropriate for all of us to be under one roof, so I came to the office to work overtime . ”

Ou Ming very rarely gave such a detailed explanation . After he spoke, he felt that he had said too much . “Let’s go up the mountain tomorrow . ”

“OK…” Yu Lili pouted her lips . “Come pick me up tomorrow . ”

“Alright . ” Ou Ming chuckled as he said, “Go to sleep . It’s late . I can’t talk for long, I still have some work to do . ”

“Sleep early . Don’t stay up too late working,” Yu Lili said .

“Yes, my dear and honorable wife,” Ou Ming replied .

Upon hearing her husband’s carefree and playful tone, Yu Lili’s nerves settled . She called out, “Hubby…”

“Hmm?”

“Good night . ”

“Mm . ”

…

The next day, Ou Ming got up early . He drove an Audi A8 that had the license plate of the Capital, and he reached the Shen residence at 8 a . m .

Yu Lili had just woken up when she received Ou Ming’s call . She hurried to wash herself up . By the time she was done, more than half an hour had passed .

When she emerged from the bedroom, she found Ou Ming in the dining room partaking in breakfast . His face broke out in an affectionate smile when he saw her approach, and he quickly waved at her .

Yu Lili quickened her steps as she headed toward him . She saw what was prepared for breakfast . There were buns with various condiments, as well as noodles and millet porridge . She was a typical northerner, and these dishes did nothing to whet her appetite . She asked, “Is it tasty?”

“It’s alright . ” Ou Ming held out the bun that he had already taken a bite out of . “Would you like some?”

Yu Lili turned her head away in disdain . The maid quickly asked, “Miss Wen, what would you like to eat? Let me serve it to you . ”

“I’ll have some millet porridge . Thanks,” Yu Lili answered . She turned her head to look around and asked, “Where’s my dad?”

“Mr . Wen has gone out with Sir and Madam . He said to tell the both of you to have fun,” the maid said as she ladled the porridge into a bowl . “Young Master will be home later to bring you around . If there’s anywhere you’d like to go, you can have him take you there . ” The young master she was talking about had to be Shen Zhilie .

Yu Lili nudged Ou Ming inconspicuously and said, “I think it’s better if we go on our own . I don’t feel good about making Shen Zhilie take us around…” Just the thought of having Shen Zhilie accompany them to the temple to pray for a child was enough to make her cringe with awkwardness .
