Chapter 334: The Clueless Huo Beichen

Ning Meng looked at the date, it was the end of the month.

It was no wonder she was back. The more she thought about her as Huo Beichen’s ex-girlfriend, the more she felt that she would need to defend her status for the days to come! This person could very well be a fake white lotus. She might pretend to be hit to the ground just so that Huo Beichen could hold this fake white lotus up and scold her before asking for a divorce…

Tsk, tsk!

As she thought of this scenario, strangely, Ning Meng felt a bit… excited. Whatever fake white lotus she may be, she had better not take it too far!

Just as Ning Meng was imagining the various possible scenes, she was interrupted by a series of notifications from her WeChat. A few people were chatting away happily in the Happy Idiots group.

Zhen Shanmei: [What are we eating tonight?]

Qi Shan: [Aren’t you watching your diet at night? @Zhen Shanmei]

Zhen Shanmei: [What do you mean? Are you saying that I’m so fat that no one would want me anymore?]

Qi Shan: [?]

Zhen Shanmei: [You’re the one that nobody wants! I’m in a really good mood now, OK? Don’t you know? There’s this Big V on the internet called “sourandsweet” who has a huge crush on me! I almost became a couple with him!]

Su Ye: [?]

Qi Shan: [???]

Li Shiyao: [???]

Zhen Shanmei: [What’s with you guys?]

Qi Shan: [Have you not seen the latest Weibo post from Lemon?]

Zhen Shanmei: [Yeah, I’ve not seen it. I was in a shower at that time. Let me go have a look.]

About two minutes later.

Zhen Shanmei: [Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Get out here! @Ning Meng]

Zhen Shanmei: [!!! How on earth are you sourandsweet? @Ning Meng]

Zhen Shanmei: [I’m so killing you!!! @Ning Meng]

Ning Meng rolled her eyes and remembered that Zhen Shanmei had privately chatted with her on her sourandsweet account. She knew that the latter would definitely be this embarrassed when she found out. Ning Meng decided to not waste time on this and sent the location of the hotel for their dinner that night.

Ning Meng: [Let’s eat simple tonight.]

Zhen Shanmei: [I remember now! You even ripped me off with a few luxury bags!]

Ning Meng: [Ah Mei, you’re the prettiest of the cubs for tonight.]

Zhen Shanmei: [You even cheated me of my feelings, I felt indebted to you!]

Ning Meng: [What are you wearing tonight? I’d better not wear the same clothes as you. Oh yes, what kind of nail polish are you wearing? I will be painting my nails in a bit.]

Zhen Shanmei: [I’m wearing black. Black accentuates a slim figure! My nails look like this now. [Image].]

Ning Meng: [Wow, that looks pretty. They match your slender long fingers.]

Zhen Shanmei: [Of course!]

Ning Meng had successfully managed to distract Zhen Shanmei into going off-topic. She laughed to herself and replied: [I’m going to do my nails now. Ah Mei, your eye for fashion will always be this fantastic.]

“!?”

At seven that same evening.

Everyone had gathered at the Charming Club’s private room. By half-past seven, the dishes had slowly come up one by one. Everyone was waiting for the only person who had not arrived, Huo Beichen. Ning Meng was starving and could not resist complaining. “Did you guys not tell Lord Chen the time to come?”

When she said this, the whole private room was so silent at that moment that one could hear a pin drop. After a while, Qi Shan asked, “Did you not tell the boss?”

“??”

She lifted her head with a wronged look on her face. “Aren’t you three working with him? Wouldn’t you have come together with him?”

Qi Shan replied, “I was working outside of the office today. I came straight here after that.”

Su Ye responded, “I came from home.”

Fei Bai echoed, “I wasn’t in the office.”

“????”

She anxiously picked up her phone and saw that Huo Beichen had sent her a text.

Loyal Dog Lord Chen: [?]

Loyal Dog Lord Chen: [Why are you not home?]

“!!!!”
