nDing!

nAs she was still hugging her stomach in laughter, Ning Meng received a message.

nHuo Beichen: ?

n

n

nOh, she had not realized that her hubby had sent her several messages! And she had not replied to any of them too!

nCould it be that WeChat was experiencing some kind of signal error earlier? Or… perhaps she had left her phone in Ning Wentao’s office earlier and had just gotten it back…

nNing Meng: Lord Chen, I’m so sorry. I didn’t see your message earlier. Please forgive me! Hugsandkisses.jpg

nHuo Beichen then invited her to have dinner together.

n

n

nLooking at her watch, Ning Meng realized that it was the peak hour of the evening traffic. She was indeed getting hungry, not to mention, the lunch they had ordered in earlier was not that tasty, and so, she had only had a few bites.

nTo save her hubby some time, she replied: Gimme the address of the place you’re heading to. I’ll drive there.

nHuo Beichen: What do you want to eat?

nNing Meng’s mouth curved up to a smile after seeing her hubby’s intimate words.

n

n

nAfter giving it some thought, Ning Meng replied: Pickled Fish Fillet. Any good place that has that?

nThen, for a whole 5 minutes, she saw that the other side was typing.

nJust as Ning Meng was getting bored of waiting for her husband’s reply…

nHuo Beichen: Hold on.

nA few seconds later…

nDing!

n

n

nHe sent her a link to an address.

nNing Meng: Okay. Cya later. Tata~

nIn a few clicks, she had registered the address to her phone’s GPS. Raising her head to look at Ning Wentao, Ning Meng asked, “Dad… where’s that lesson you promised?”

n“??”

nNing Wentao was hoping to ask the same thing to the entire world. Where the hell had his “lesson” gone?!

nWhat happened to those compromising pictures and videos? What happened to those sharp-tongued bloggers and media companies?? Why had these “enemies” kept quiet even after they had released their press release for almost half a day?

nAs the corner of his mouth twitched, Ning Wentao said, “Perhaps… this lesson has been… canceled?”

n“…”

n

n

nNing Meng put her hands on her waist and complained. “Wait. So, you kept me here for an entire day for something that’s been canceled?”

nNing Wentao pouted. “What? What? What did I do? Aren’t you happy to be together with your dad for an entire day?”

n“Fine, fine. I’m happy alright. Now, I need to go. Bye-bye daddy.”

nAfter waiting for Ms. Ning Meng to leave with her friends, Manager Huang stepped forward to his boss and asked, “Sir. I… I don’t understand. What happened?”

nNing Wentao lowered his head to ponder over it for a few seconds.

nThen, he raised his head toward Manager Huang. “Perhaps… The God of Justice has struck our foes for us?”

n“…”

nNonetheless, Ning Wentao decided to not probe any further into this. He nonchalantly patted Manager Huang’s shoulder. “We’ll think of something if anything comes up later. Don’t worry, Huang.”

nHe was, after all, a very happy-go-lucky guy.

n***

nZhen Shanmei had left in her own car, thus, it was up to Ning Meng to drive Li Shiyao home.

nAfter sending Li Shiyao home, Ning Meng quickly walked back to her car.

nJust as she was about to start the engine, she received a voice message from Huo Beichen.

n

n

nHuo Beichen: “It’s not easy to find a car parking space there. Just park next to the school, there’s a small parking area there. We’ll meet at the school gate.”

nHis soothing voice echoed in her car, pulling the strings in Ning Meng’s heart. Unable to resist listening to it again, Ning Meng pressed on the “play” button again. After listening to her hubby’s voice message once more, she then fired up her car.

nHalf an hour later, Ning Meng had reached the school that her husband had mentioned earlier. After parking her car, Ning Meng stood next to the school’s gate, waiting for Huo Beichen’s arrival.

nIt was a famous high school, and the school’s tuition session that was meant to prepare its students for the upcoming national college entrance examination had just ended too. Thus, waves of high school students had started to flood out of the school gate.

nAs Ning Meng was playing with her phone, suddenly, a shy, timid boy’s voice floated to her ear. “Um… fellow schoolmate, where… where do you live? Perhaps I… I could walk you home?”

nRaising her head, Ning Meng saw a tall schoolboy standing in front of her. He appeared to be quite shy and nervous, his voice trembling as he spoke to her.

nMy, my…

nNing Meng could not help but beam up a smile.

nWas she being hit on by a little boy?

nFellow schoolmate…? How in the world did she look like his schoolmate?

nTilting her head, Ning Meng teased the boy with a smile. “I am waiting for my boyfriend.”

nSeeing her lovely smile, the boy got even more nervous. “Then… then… then I’ll walk you both home?”

n“!?”
