Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Sleeping Under the Bed Again!

"What a strong smell of alcohol, one could think a wine jar has come to life—you’ve been really into it, so the business must have gone well?"

When Lin Fan pushed open the bedroom door, Ning Mengyao was already seated at the vanity.

Seeing Lin Fan return, a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

She had just come in and already smelled the heavy alcohol on him.

"I did drink quite a bit, but there’s no movement on the project yet, though it should be taking shape soon, I guess."

Lin Fan looked at Ning Mengyao in the mirror, her figure graceful.

From this angle, he could clearly see her slender waist that could be easily encircled with his hands.

And her silhouette, shaped like a gourd.

It always led to endless daydreams.

"Drinking so much without any progress—imagine if there were progress, would you then soak yourself in a wine jar? Do you think just drinking can clinch a deal? If that were the case, there’d be no need for qualifications, just a drinking contest would suffice," she teased.

Even though she somewhat detested the smell of alcohol on Lin Fan,

Ning Mengyao also confirmed from another perspective what Lin Fan had said before.

The last time he didn’t come home at night was probably due to the alcohol too.

"It’s not as simple as you think. Alcohol is the bridge and the cup is the boat, prosperity at the dock brings wealth naturally. Even the shrewdest people can get confused at the table; chances are some fool might get happy and give me fifty million on the spot. Otherwise, us poor working stiffs would be squeezed dry by the capitalists."

Lin Fan smiled wryly as he sat down on a chair.

"So, you have a complaint about me?"

Ning Mengyao pouted.

"Dare I complain? You are my goddess of wealth, holding my lifeline. Would I dare to have an opinion?"

Lin Fan said with a wry smile.

"It’s best if you don’t have any, and even if you do, it’s best to keep it to yourself. Hurry up and go take a shower."

Ning Mengyao suddenly felt in high spirits.

She got up with a smile and walked out.

"Dressed in pajamas, where are you planning to go?"

Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

"To find some alcohol to drink."

Ning Mengyao stuck out her tongue mysteriously,

Opened the door, and walked out of the bedroom.

"Looking for alcohol to drink in the middle of the night?"

Lin Fan naturally didn’t understand the implication of her words.

Though he hadn’t drunk enough to get drunk,

he did feel a bit hot.

So he stepped into the bathroom and showered himself with cool water to wash it off.

However, looking around, the black undergarments in the corner,

and the lingering scent in the air really made one’s imagination run wild.

"I wonder when this damned cohabitation will end so I won’t starve to death."

Lin Fan quickly dried off his body with a towel.

But just as he was walking out of the bathroom,

Ning Mengyao, returning once more, walked in with a bowl of something dark.

"Lan, it’s time to take your medicine."

Ning Mengyao handed over the bowl with both hands, not forgetting to give a mischievous smile.

"Is this considered plotting the murder of your own husband?"

Lin Fan took the steaming bowl of brown sugar water,

feeling a touch of warmth in his heart.

He hadn’t expected Ning Mengyao to have such a thoughtful side.

"If the poison kills, so be it, and if it doesn’t, it’s attempted murder. Dare you drink it?"

Ning Mengyao, with a facial mask on, gave him an ambiguous look.

Then turned and walked towards the vanity.

Gradually becoming accustomed to living under one roof,

she was also increasingly letting go.

"Of course, I dare to drink it. Not to mention brown sugar water, even if it were Mengpo Soup, I’d drink it."

Lin Fan laughed and swallowed the brown sugar water.

His stomach felt warm, and so did his heart.

Suddenly, he too felt like a married man.

But just as Lin Fan was about to thank Ning Mengyao,

her phone had already begun to ring.

"Hello, Qi Qi... You’re at the door... Alright, alright... then come on in... Yeah, I’m home alone!"

Ning Mengyao held the phone, her face full of surprise.

After finishing the call, she smiled, bending over.

She lifted the bedsheet directly.

"Li Qiqi is feeling down and wants to come over for a chat. She’s already at the door, so you better be aware."

"Hey, aren’t we being a bit too much? Which husband sleeps under the bed every day? Can’t you tell me in advance so I can go hide somewhere? Looks like I have to live under the bed every day. What’s this all about?"

Lin Fan’s face looked mournful as he helplessly put down his bowl.

He really didn’t know why Yang Linglong and Li Qiqi never gave him a heads up when they were coming over.

"Some people can’t even get a good night’s sleep, here’s a yoga mat for you. You’ll just have to put up with it for now. She’s not going to live here anyway, you just need to hide for a bit."

Ning Mengyao took a yoga mat and handed it to Lin Fan with a mischievous smile on her face.

For some reason, she always felt very happy seeing him in a pinch.

"So you were prepared for this?"

Lin Fan sighed helplessly.

He skillfully flipped over and crawled under the bed.

Despite some grievances in this kind of life,

it was still quite nice to occasionally overhear the explosive chats between the girls.

Especially since he really wanted to know what Li Qiqi, the girl he had slept with, would come over to talk about.

After smoothing the bedsheets, Ning Mengyao hurriedly opened the window.

After all, the strong smell of alcohol lingered.

She also didn’t know how she was going to explain it to Li Qiqi later.

"Senior sister, it hurts so much in my heart."

As the door was pushed open, Li Qiqi entered with a red face.

She even held a can of beer in her hand,

completely unaware of the residual smell of alcohol in the air.

"What are you doing? How did you start drowning your sorrows in alcohol? Did that toad bully you? Do you want senior sister to find someone to vent for you?"

Ning Mengyao quickly snatched the beer from Li Qiqi’s hands.

Her face full of astonishment as she looked at the drunken Li Qiqi.

Lin Fan under the bed was full of question marks.

How did he become the toad again?

"It’s not him bullying me... it’s me... not respecting myself..."

Li Qiqi’s big watery eyes filled with grievance as she sat down on the bed.

It was evident that she was indeed distressed.

"What happened? Could it be that this guy, under the influence of alcohol, did something? Qi Qi, don’t be afraid, it’s not your fault... How about we call the police and have him arrested? We absolutely cannot forgive this kind of behavior..."

Ning Mengyao looked at Li Qiqi with concern.

All sorts of conjectures swirled in her mind.

Only Lin Fan under the bed was really full of question marks.

Who had he offended?

"Senior sister, it’s really not his fault. Last night I took advantage of him while he was asleep... and slept with him secretly..."

Li Qiqi said with a mournful face and a belly full of grievances.

"You took the initiative last night... Why? Didn’t you say he was no good? How could you give something so important... to him!"

Ning Mengyao, looking bewildered, really didn’t know how to describe her feelings.

Li Qiqi’s words were just too explosive.

"I didn’t give it to him... Just simply slept together..."

Li Qiqi shook her head quickly.

Last night was indeed real sleep, but nothing happened.

"So you mean... you both slept together all night... and he didn’t touch you? Impossible, there’s no normal man in this world who can sleep next to a woman without any thoughts... Could it be he’s impotent?"

Ning Mengyao pondered for a moment.

She said with certainty.

Lin Fan: "???"

"No, it’s not like that. He was just too tired and fell asleep in my room. I was the one who secretly climbed into bed... But this morning, he told me he’s married!"

Li Qiqi pursed her lips as she spoke.

"This scumbag, he’s so malicious. Knowing he was married, he still went to sleep in your room. Isn’t that just deceiving your feelings intentionally? This kind of guy should be struck dead by lightning!"

Ning Mengyao cursed with an outraged face.

But Lin Fan under the bed looked completely innocent.

At that moment, he felt that he shouldn’t be lying under the bed.
