Chapter 22: Rabid Dogs
With that thought, she walked up to him and coughed slightly.
Lu Yucai froze slightly, his heart beating slightly. When he turned his head, he saw the face his heart had been craving to see. Ni Mengxue.
"I... how are you now?" Ni Mengxue asked cautiously.
Rather than answering her, Lu Yucai looked away and replied in a bitter tone, "Great, I guess. After all, spending time in this apartment all by myself was amazing!"
Ni Mengxue: Ugh... oh... looks like I have made my hubby angry.
"How can that be? I had asked Aunt Ruo’s husbands to stay by your side." She wasn’t lying.
Lu Yucai was depressed, and to prevent him from doing anything reckless, she had specifically chosen two of the talkative and gentle husbands of Aunt Ruo to accompany him.
"Sure. Whatever makes you sleep at night." Lu Yucai snorted, but his anger was apparent, making her delighted.
This... this was huge progress. He was expressing his dissatisfaction.
Suppressing her smile, she leaned near him and pecked his lips. "Is my hubby upset? I will apologise, okay?"
Seeing the tips of his ears turning red and how he didn’t back out but looked shocked, she heaved a sigh of relief. He doesn’t hate her touches or proximity!
"Mengxue! Don’t... you... dare... think... I will forgive just because... you kissed me! Do you get?" He snorted and looked away, but his red face and neck spoke volumes of the shyness he was feeling.
"Yes... yes. I even brought a gift for you as an apology." She grinned, making Lu Yucai pause and look at her expectantly.
Ding Dong! Just then the doorbell rang, and Ni Mengxue sighed, ’Just keep on interrupting like this, and I might never have sex, my little darling.’
"Ni Mengxue!" Lu Yucai shouted, this time more with shame and rage.
Ni Mengxue: Shit! Did I say it aloud again?
"I will go and check who is there at the door." Her escape couldn’t be any faster.
As she opened the door, she saw Feng Lian, a young woman with pink hair and a delicate aura; another woman wearing glasses exuding a stern aura; and Cai Shu.
"Hello, Miss Ni. I am Kong Airuo, the president of the Women’s Protection Association. She is Miss Cai Shu, the director, and this is my secretary, Gu Lin. We are here to investigate the complaint you filed against Miss Feng," the woman wearing glasses said.
Gu Lin, the pink-haired woman, suddenly rushed toward Ni Mengxue and held her hand.
"Xue’er, was there truly a need to file a complaint just because I ignored you for a few days? Do you know how much you have scared Miss Feng?"
Ni Mengxue arched her brow. Gu Lin? Wasn’t that the original owner’s best friend? A very hard character to discern, honestly.
She had saved the original owner and even helped the novel’s Ni Mengxue to settle in the base where they were residing.
There were many moments when the real Ni Mengxue wanted to die, but Gu Lin appeared like a ray of light and always protected her.
"So Miss Ni, did you file the complaint just because of this petty matter?" Kong Airuo frowned, looking displeased. "Alright then, I will fine you 10 medium-tier zombie crystals; just submit it to Miss Feng."
Gu Lin quickly grinned and said flatteringly, "Miss Kong, thank you for showing generosity! I will definitely treat you to a meal!"
"I want a written apology from her crippled husband, and he should be sent to the male correction centre!" Feng Lian suddenly demanded.
Male Correction Center was a living hell for every male. There, males are tortured to the point that they transform into an emotionless doll who will only obey their master.
Gu Lin quickly said, "Miss Feng, please give me some face! How about this? My friend will move out of here and let you stay in this apartment?"
"Alright, then I will be generous. But that cripple has to kneel for 3 days and 3 nights!" Feng Lian said haughtily.
"Okay! Okay! Thank you so much for your cooperation." Gu Lin bowed and turned toward Ni Mengxue, whispering, "Thank her now! And you better hand me something good! I have helped you so much this time!"
"Alright! I will take my leave!" Kong Airou said with a disdainful expression.
Lu Yucai’s heart tightened. Was he truly going to be punished again? But he hadn’t done anything wrong...
Ni Mengxue pulled her hands out of Gu Lin’s grasp and said, "Please go carefully! Remember to answer the suing notice you will receive!"
Her words were addressed toward Kong Airou, who froze, her eyes flashing with disbelief.
"What the hell do you mean, Ni Mengxue?"
"Eh? Looks like you know that I can speak. So why did you let your rabid dogs bark now and leave without listening to me? I almost thought you were in cahoots with them." Ni Mengxue grinned and looked relaxed.
