Li Mengying’s voice was velvety soft, with the scented warmth of her breath brushing Chen Bin’s ear, making his bones feel a few ounces lighter.
However, before he had a chance to respond, Zhao Xinmei came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate.
Seeing the two of them together, her face instantly soured.
Nevertheless, in order not to let Li Mengying notice anything unusual, she spoke with an even tone.
"Dinner is ready, come and help yourselves to the dishes!"
It was rare for Zhao Xinmei to initiate conversation with him, so Chen Bin immediately stood up and ran into the kitchen.
While serving the food, he even started to flatter her.
"Mom, the food you cook is much more delicious than anything outside."
Zhao Xinmei acted as if she hadn’t heard, completely ignoring him.
With a light sigh, Chen Bin awkwardly walked out of the kitchen.
Once all the dishes were on the table, the three of them took their seats in turn.
Chen Bin knew Zhao Xinmei was still angry with him, so he only dared to sit diagonally opposite her.
Li Mengying took the seat next to Zhao Xinmei, which was directly opposite Chen Bin.
At the dining table, Zhao Xinmei was like a great Buddha.
Sitting there silently eating, her face void of any expression.
Seeing this, Li Mengying couldn’t help but push her slightly.
"Sister Zhao, you wouldn’t be putting on a long face because you didn’t want me to come over for a free meal, would you?"
"Not at all!" Zhao Xinmei spoke in a cold tone.
Li Mengying promptly picked up a glass, "How about a toast among the three of us?"
Zhao Xinmei seemed to realize that it wasn’t nice to show Chen Bin a cold face with Li Mengying present.
She could only heave a heavy sigh and lifted the wine glass in front of her.
Chen Bin too immediately picked up his glass and reached out.
The three glasses collided, making a crisp sound.
Chen Bin sipped his red wine while sneakily observing Zhao Xinmei.
Her face was still expressionless and frighteningly cold.
Seeing the mood, Li Mengying started to make conversation, actively seeking topics to chat about.
It didn’t take long for the atmosphere to gradually liven up.
Only then did Chen Bin find out that Li Mengying was Zhao Xinmei’s best friend and was twenty-eight years old.
She had married a wealthy businessman in Tianhai.
However, her married life was not as ideal as expected.
Seeing a smile finally appearing on Zhao Xinmei’s face, Chen Bin mustered the courage to pick up a piece of green vegetable and place it in her bowl.
However, Zhao Xinmei did not look at him at all.
She directly took the vegetable out of her bowl and threw it on the table.
In an instant, the atmosphere plunged back to freezing point.
Chen Bin dared not speak, only keeping his head down, continuously pushing the rice in his bowl around.
Li Mengying’s gaze darted back and forth between them, unable to help asking.
"Xiao Bin, brother, what on earth did you do to make your godmother so angry?"
Chen Bin dared not speak the truth, so after hesitating, he came up with an excuse.
"I... I accidentally damaged my mom’s limited edition handbag last time, so..."
Waving her hand, Li Mengying looked completely unbothered.
"Sister Zhao, whatever bag Xiao Bin has ruined, I will buy you a new one tomorrow!"
With a cold snort, Zhao Xinmei stayed silent, just staring quietly at Chen Bin.
Feeling guilty, the latter simply could not bear to look her in the eye.
Confronted with this abnormal atmosphere, Li Mengying really couldn’t take it anymore and started to complain.
"Sister Zhao, you know that besides coming to your house, my husband won’t let me go out alone at all, and now, when I finally manage to come here, you’re giving me the cold shoulder."
Hearing this, Zhao Xinmei let out an involuntary sigh.
Li Mengying’s husband, Zhang Zhen, owned a listed company and had assets worth over a hundred million.
It’s just that he was getting on in years and was not in good health.
Worried that Li Mengying would get into trouble outside, he often wouldn’t let her leave the house.
Even when she went out, he would install a tracking app on her phone to easily keep tabs on her movements.
Once, Li Mengying exchanged a few words with another man, and after being discovered by Zhang Zhen, he beat her half to death.
After finding out, Zhao Xinmei went straight to his door and cursed Zhang Zhen bloodily from head to toe.
Only then did he agree to let Li Mengying occasionally visit Zhao Xinmei’s house.
Thinking of her best friend being treated like a caged canary at home and barely getting out, she herself was starting to throw a tantrum.
This really wasn’t right.
Forcing a smile, Zhao Xinmei gave Li Mengying a glance.
"Stop being vain, who’s giving you attitude?"
Following that, she began to steer the conversation onto other topics.
Watching the two beauties getting along so harmoniously, Chen Bin found it to be a very pleasing sight.
But not wanting to ruin the mood, he dared not interject.
As time passed, Chen Bin suddenly felt something crawling on his calf.
He looked down to find it was Li Mengying’s delicate little foot.
Worried about Zhao Xinmei noticing anything odd, Chen Bin had no choice but to keep his head down, staring at the empty bowl on the table, pretending nothing was happening.
However, Li Mengying only escalated her actions, rubbing the sole of her smooth foot back and forth over Chen Bin’s crotch.
It didn’t take long for him to become as hard as iron down there.
This situation was a considerable stimulus for Chen Bin, both psychologically and physiologically.
Seeing that Chen Bin did not reject her, Li Mengying took the initiative to serve him some soup.
"Little brother Chen Bin, this is ginseng black chicken tonic soup. Your mom and I stewed it all afternoon, it’s very nourishing."
This touched Chen Bin greatly, and he couldn’t help but look toward Zhao Xinmei.
Seeing this, she quickly scoffed and started to explain.
"Don’t get me wrong, this was cooked for your godfather. Since he’s not back, you’re the one benefiting now."
Seeing Zhao Xinmei willing to talk to him, Chen Bin was ecstatic inside.
This was definitely a good start!
Without hesitation, he directly gulped down the soup from the bowl until it was all gone.
Besides being a bit greasy, it tasted quite good.
After seeing this, Li Mengying immediately served him another bowl.
Three bowls in, and Chen Bin felt his blood and energy surge wildly.
The fire of desire within him erupted like a volcano, shooting from his spine straight into his brain.
Eventually, he couldn’t help but grasp Li Mengying’s soft foot in his hand and softly caress it.
She glanced at him with flirtatious eyes, showing no intention of avoiding him.
If it weren’t for Zhao Xinmei’s presence, Chen Bin would have even thought of taking Li Mengying then and there.
In the following time, Li Mengying and Zhao Xinmei continued to drink and chat.
After finishing a bottle of red wine, both were slightly tipsy.
After they finished eating, Chen Bin prepared to help Zhao Xinmei, but she seemed to think of something terrifying and quickly shook off his hand.
"Get away from me, I don’t need your help!"
Chen Bin was so scared he trembled all over and dared not speak.
Watching the two women support each other back to their room, he then began to clean up the aftermath.
After washing the bowls, Chen Bin headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
During that time, he purposely glanced at the laundry basket, which was disappointingly empty.
This left him quite dejected.
It seemed that he would have to take care of himself tonight.
Back in his room, Chen Bin got out his phone and found the website he had bookmarked for years.
But after browsing through a few clips, they all felt bland to him.
None of the actresses were as beautiful as his godmother.
And his hand couldn’t compare at all to his godmother’s tender valley.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Bin forced himself to suppress the evil fire within, coercing himself to fall asleep quickly.
Just as he drifted between wakefulness and sleep, a figure stumbled into the room...
