Chapter 62: Chapter 62: A Little Too Honest!

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

The sound of water in the shower awoke Ning Mengyao from her stupor.

She glanced at the empty space beside her.

She stretched lazily, feeling comfortable.

Only then did she turn and get out of bed.

She had gone to bed late last night and had also been frightened.

Ning Mengyao’s head still felt foggy.

Now, all she wanted was a shower to help her wake up.

"The sun has risen from the west... waking up so early!"

Still groggy, she pulled open the shower curtain and stepped inside.

Since she wasn’t wearing pajamas, she squeezed directly into the narrow bathroom.

They had known each other since elementary school and were used to this arrangement.

But as the water cascaded over her hair, a moment of clarity made her realize something was amiss.

"What are you looking at? Haven’t seen a beauty taking a bath before, huh? Hurry up and help me squeeze some shampoo!"

If it had been before, Yang Linglong would surely have taken the opportunity to be playful.

But unexpectedly, today she just stood there quietly.

Ning Mengyao, with her hair already wet, called out to the person behind her.

Feeling the cool sensation on her head, Ning Mengyao finally hummed in satisfaction.

"That’s better, it wasn’t all for nothing that I favored you last night."

As she began to wash her hair and body, she felt something was off about Yang Linglong today.

Remaining silent was definitely not her style.

"Have you gone mute? Say something!"

But she waited a long time and still no sound came from behind her.

After washing her hair, Ning Mengyao wiped her face and curiously turned around.

But when she clearly saw who was behind her, she instinctively stepped back in shock.

"Ah!"

Because standing behind her was not Yang Linglong.

It was an innocent-looking Lin Fan.

"Be careful!"

The shock was too much, and Ning Mengyao slipped, knocking her head against the nearby shower head.

Luckily, Lin Fan was quick to react, catching her icy, slippery shoulders in his hands.

"How come... it’s you!"

Ning Mengyao, held by Lin Fan, was now fully awake.

She looked dazedly at Lin Fan in front of her.

Only then did she remember that she already had a husband.

"Can you let go... please?"

Lin Fan gritted his teeth, his face a mask of pain, and pointed downwards.

During her frantic fall, she had instinctively grabbed onto something.

And it had nearly been the death of her.

"Ah... why are you here!"

Startled, Ning Mengyao quickly let go of her hold.

At the same time, she covered her chest with both hands, nervously unsure of what to do.

"If not here... then where? This morning... Yang Linglong left early... I just wanted to take a shower and have breakfast, but you... walked in like you were sleepwalking... I didn’t dare to speak!"

Lin Fan turned his body away in pain.

This one grab had been earth-shattering.

"Sorry... I thought it was Linglong... You... you’re okay, right?"

The frantic Ning Mengyao really didn’t know what to do.

She had barged in absent-mindedly, so she couldn’t blame anyone else.

And about that grab earlier.

She also knew she had grabbed somewhere she shouldn’t have.

It hadn’t caused any serious damage, had it?

"No harm done, luckily... I’ve trained... but you... quite honest!"

Lin Fan took a deep breath, trying hard to appear calm as he looked at Ning Mengyao.

That day on the mountain road, everything had happened so suddenly.

He hadn’t had a chance to see her clearly.

But just now, those five or six minutes.

That had definitely been a candid encounter.

"Ah!"

Ning Mengyao finally came to her senses.

With a scream, she turned and ran outside.

Being utterly exposed, she had no idea what to do.

"What are you screaming about so early in the morning?"

Just as she burst out of the bathroom, the door had already been pushed open.

Yang Linglong looked curiously at Ning Mengyao, whose face was flushed.

"It’s nothing... I saw a cockroach... where were you?"

Ning Mengyao quickly grabbed some clothes from the wardrobe and put them on.

She asked in a flustered manner.

"I’m on a diet to lose weight. I didn’t eat dinner last night and woke up hungry this morning, so I went out to buy some buns. Do you want to eat them while they’re hot? I’m going to take a shower first. This damn weather made me sweat a ton just walking out the door this morning."

Yang Linglong placed the soup-filled buns on the table.

She was already beginning to undress to take a shower.

"No, don’t!"

Ning Mengyao quickly grabbed her.

Lin Fan was still in the bathroom.

If she went in, all would be wasted.

"You’ve already showered, why are you worried about me wasting water? I went running, and I’m all sweaty and stinky!"

Yang Linglong looked at Ning Mengyao with confusion.

Her hair was still wet, awkwardly clinging to her head.

She looked quite disheveled.

"I... I just remembered a breakfast place... It’s really famous. How about we go try it out? If we are late, we might not get a seat... We can shower when we get back."

Ning Mengyao held onto Yang Linglong’s wrist tightly.

In her urgency, she could only scramble for excuses.

"I’m almost full already. Let’s go another day. I’m still sleepy too. I’ll take a shower and then get some more sleep."

Yang Linglong pouted.

On her way back, she had already eaten several buns.

"Oh, come on, it’s been so long since we had breakfast together. Just come with me."

Ning Mengyao blocked Yang Linglong’s path with her body.

She said loudly.

Clearly, she was speaking for the benefit of Lin Fan in the bathroom.

"Miss, my ears aren’t deaf. I can hear you."

Yang Linglong rolled her eyes at Ning Mengyao.

This woman had been acting weird since last night.

Who knows if it was because Tian Qi scared her.

Fortunately, just now,

She had gotten in touch with that mysterious phone number.

The person had agreed to meet her tonight.

"Alright, let’s go, let’s go. After eating, let’s go for a spa treatment too. Their techniques are great, your skin feels super smooth afterward. Now that you have a boyfriend, you should dazzle him a bit, make him fall even harder for you."

Ning Mengyao grabbed her purse and stuffed it into Linglong’s arms.

"I’m naturally beautiful, why would I need maintenance to charm him? He’s already head over heels for me, but since you want to go, I’ll come along!"

Yang Linglong pursed her lips and finally followed Ning Mengyao out of the room.

It wasn’t until everything quieted down that Lin Fan, wrapped in a towel, came out of the bathroom.

This night was truly exhausting.

"Women, huh!"

Lin Fan chuckled as he picked up his clothes from under the bed.

Just as he had dressed himself, his phone suddenly began to flash.

Looking at the mysterious number, he pressed the answer button.

"Confirm your identity!"

The voice on the phone, slightly cold, issued the command.

"Wolftooth’s direction, though dead still alive!"

Lin Fan recited the obscure passphrase.

"Password correct. We just received a distress call from one of the next of kin. Meeting time and place have been sent to your mobile. Please check."

The call ended, and a special SMS arrived on Lin Fan’s phone.

Looking at the strange mix of digits and letters that seemed like a mistake,

Lin Fan quickly deciphered the message.

"Beishan Park, eight o’clock tonight, code word: ’You look really pretty tonight,’ countersign, ’You filthy rogue!’"

Lin Fan rubbed his nose: "Yang Linglong, can’t you use your brain a bit? Who thinks of such a silly code?"
