The richest woman committed a crime with her child - Chapter 26

Luo Jiusheng lowered his voice as much as possible and said, “Miss Xu, do you know who she is or what her family does?”

“I don’t know. We don’t ask about such things.”

“Miss Xu, we usually live openly, but it’s necessary to be cautious. This Miss Wu and the big man beside her are not simple.”

Xu Mei had no intention of probing into Wu Mengying and Qiu Chigong’s background or motives, but she began to see Luo Jiusheng in a different light.

On the stage, Wu Mengying continued, “Before serving the dishes, I’d like everyone to participate in a lights-out game. In a moment, I will turn off all the lights in the restaurant. In the darkness, every situation you encounter will be sudden, so please be prepared and don’t get angry. Qiu Chigong, turn off the lights.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the restaurant was plunged into darkness.

The dozens of people inside the room became very noisy. There were those who cheered, those who took the opportunity to cause trouble, and those who flirted—everything you could imagine.

The scene became chaotic, even crossing the line at times.

“Miss Xu, should we move to the side?” Not long after the lights went out, Luo Jiusheng had already been touched by several people. Worried that someone might take advantage of the darkness to harass Xu Mei, he suggested.

But Xu Mei was no longer by his side.

As soon as the lights went out, she had been pulled away by someone.

That person gripped her wrist and took her upstairs.

As they went up, Xu Mei’s eyes hadn’t adjusted to the darkness, and she nearly tripped several times.

The sensation of that person gripping her wrist was familiar, his figure was familiar, and his presence was familiar.

It was Shen Youting.

The moment his hand touched her, she recognized him.

That’s why she allowed him to pull her along.

However, Xu Mei didn’t like being dragged around in the dark by a man who didn’t care about her comfort. “Shen Youting, it’s pitch black. I don’t want to walk anymore. Stop.”

She grabbed the tips of his fingers and playfully said, “My feet hurt. If you want to keep going, you’ll have to either carry me or hold me… Ah…”

Xu Mei’s body was suddenly turned around, and he pressed her against the wall. Her back hit the wall, causing her to let out a soft gasp. “Ah.”

“Xu Mei.” His voice, low and steady, unmistakably Shen Youting’s.

“You brought me upstairs to talk?” Xu Mei could feel his breath so close, and a teasing intention rose in her heart.

When she didn’t hear Shen Youting respond, she stood on her tiptoes, bringing her face closer to his, and cooed, “Have you gone mute?”

“Was it your left hand or your right hand that the fake man kissed?” Shen Youting’s voice, unlike his usual cold and indifferent tone when speaking to her, carried a heated intensity that swirled around her ears, unsettling her heartbeat.

Her heart pounded—thump, thump, thump—as if it were about to leap out of her throat.

She didn’t know why he was asking this, but his voice seemed to bewitch her into answering. “My right hand, the back of it.”

He took her right hand and raised it to his lips.

He pressed his lips against it.

A soft, warm, and moist sensation.

His breath was hot as he asked, “Like this?”

“Mhm.”

Though it was just a fleeting touch, Xu Mei felt overwhelmingly hot. From head to toe, every pore in her body seemed to scream with heat. Her body, as if drawn by some force, leaned closer to him uncontrollably. Her voice came out soft and delicate as she asked, “Shen Youting, what’s wrong with you?”

Just an hour ago, they had been arguing. He had humiliated her in front of Luo Jiusheng and wouldn’t let her eat.

But now… he had kissed her hand.

This should count as a man kissing a woman… right?

“Do you prefer being kissed by that fake man, or do you prefer me kissing you?” He leaned even closer, his thin lips almost brushing against her delicate cheek.
