“Ding Ding, Lan Lan, I’m counting to three. If you don’t go to bed, you’ll see what I’ll do to you,” Shen Mei yelled angrily and savagely.

Lan Lan had never seen her mother so furious, and she was suddenly scared. She stood up and tried to pull Ding Ding with her to go upstairs.

But Ding Ding didn’t want to; their mommy hadn’t arrived yet.

“Ding Ding, if you don’t listen, I’ll lock the villa’s main gate, and your teacher won’t be able to come in anymore,” Shen Mei said coldly and ruthlessly.

Hearing this, Ding Ding also got scared and reluctantly muttered, “Hateful,” then allowed Lan Lan to pull him upstairs.

Shen Mei finally felt satisfied, glanced at her watch, and realized that Li Zhenting would be back soon. She hurriedly went upstairs to dress up.

Li Zhenting returned home around half-past seven.

As soon as he entered the living room, he noticed that the lights in the hall were ail off, and only the nightlight in the corridor was on.

There was no sign of the housekeepers, servants, or even their two children.

Normally, at this time, Ding Ding would be sitting on the couch playing, and Lan Lan would shout “Daddy” and run towards him with open arms, laughing.

But now the whole house felt eerie and gloomy, creating an unsettling atmosphere.

He furrowed his brow and started heading upstairs.

As he reached the landing, a captivating fragrance filled the air, incredibly alluring.

“Zhenting.” Shen Mei was standing at the corridor entrance, eagerly welcoming him with shining eyes. She ran over and clung to his arms, her face adorned with a dazzling and coquettish smile.

“Meimei, let go.” The woman’s soft body pressed tightly against him, brushing sensually against him, and the intoxicating fragrance grew increasingly potent. Li Zhenting was momentarily dazed, lost in a haze of desire, but he quickly snapped back to reality and pushed her away.

“Zhenting, you must be hungry, right? I’ve prepared a lavish dinner for you.” Shen Mei paid no attention to his rejection. Instead, she took his arm and led him to her room.

In the bedroom, the soft pink lights swayed, and the enchanting fragrance hung in the air.

Li Zhenting had to take several deep breaths to stabilize his emotions. When he finally looked up, he almost sprayed blood from his nose.

Before him, the woman was wearing a sheer nude-colored gown adorned with diamonds, exuding a seductive and alluring charm. Her entire body shimmered, especially certain sensitive areas that tantalizingly peeked through.

Any normal man, at this moment, would willingly submit to her allure, consequences be damned.

Shen Mei smiled faintly, her eyes filled with seduction and coquetry as she occasionally appraised Li Zhenting. Tonight, this dress was her secret weapon to capture him.

She believed she would successfully captivate him.

However, her disappointment came swiftly.

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Zhenting pushed her hand away, his expression indifferent.

She would never understand that what Li Zhenting truly loved was not this kind of seductive and provocative allure, but rather a connection of souls. Especially after this period of time, his favorable impression of her had plummeted to its lowest.

“Shen Mei, please sit down. 1 came here today with something to ask you.” Li Zhenting’s expression remained stoic as he led her to sit on the sofa.

“Zhenting, what’s the matter?” Shen Mei’s face slightly changed, but she continued to ask with great coquetry.

“Shen Mei, there’s something I’ve wanted to confirm all along, and 1 hope you can be truthful about it,” Li Zhenting’s voice grew solemn as he slowly began.

This was the reason he had agreed to see her tonight.

As Shen Mei listened to the man’s indifferent tone, an inexplicable chill washed over her, and her romantic allure waned.

Nevertheless, she maintained her appearance of meekness and compliance.

“Zhenting, go ahead. I promise to be completely honest,” she cooed.

“Good.” Li Zhenting nodded and suddenly asked, “Shen Mei, I have to ask you, when my eyes were injured that year, did you really save me and take care of me all that time? Was that girl really you?”

Shen Mei was taken aback, never having imagined that he would bring up this question. It was also the question she dreaded the most.

“I…” Her face turned pale, and she stammered..
