His Majesty is Scheming - C217

Ling Mengzhu was furious at his question. Did she look like the kind of person who would casually slap men? How many more? Why not just ask her how many fights she had? Also, was her relationship with a few men related to him? Don’t think that by climbing onto her bed, you would be able to control her personal life. She wouldn’t easily betroth herself to him.

“Why should I tell you? How many have you got to do with you? ” Ling Mengzhu pulled the blanket over her face and buried her face in it.

Long Zhenghao laughed, knowing that his question was a bit rude. He held her by the waist and got out from under the blanket. He smiled and said, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked you such personal questions.”

Ling Mengzhu continued to ignore him as the room suddenly fell into silence. It was also at this time that the rumbling sound of a stomach suddenly came from under the blanket. Ling Mengzhan’s face grew hot as she took the initiative, “Whose stomach is it that’s growling? It must be yours. ”

A woman who cared so much about her reputation! Long Zhenghao laughed even more heartily as he pinched the tip of her nose, “Yes, it’s my stomach growling. I’m starving. Can you wake up and accompany me to eat something?”

“I’m not accompanying you. You go out first, it’s best if you don’t let my mom see you. Hurry up.” Ling Mengzhu took the lead to get off the bed. She admitted that she wasn’t willing to part with him, but she couldn’t possibly spend the whole day in his arms, could she? Besides, she was starving.

Long Zhenghao smiled without saying a word. He got up and straightened his clothes as he opened the door and walked towards the door. As for not letting Mrs. Ling see this, it was too difficult. This was because he was waiting in the living room for him to come out from Ling Dreaming Pearl’s room.

She could completely understand why Ling Mengzhu was afraid of being seen by Madam Ling. Even the usually calm and composed him felt uncomfortable when he came into contact with Madam Ling’s ambiguous gaze. This was the first time he had ever come out of Ling Mengzhu’s room!

“Zhenghao, did you sleep well last night?” “My family’s bead sleeping condition is not good, I have already been kicked down by her several times, and I couldn’t move to this room until the end.” Mrs. Ling pointed to her bedroom with her chin, smiling widely.

Long Zhenghao nodded uncomfortably, “Not bad, she didn’t kick me off the bed. I have a way to treat her.”

“Method?” “What is the method?” Madam Ling’s interest was piqued. Inside the bedroom, Ling Mengzhu rolled her eyes in her heart. This shameless Long Zhenghao, how come he didn’t look like he did anything wrong? He actually seemed so calm.

As for the method to treat her, wasn’t it like an octopus that was holding her in its arms? If this continued, she wouldn’t even have a chance to kick him out of bed. Thinking of this, her face unconsciously turned red again. Her face had already turned red countless times today … She reached out to pinch it, hating herself for being so unpromising, always writing her emotions on her face for free.

Ling Mengzhu lingered in her room for a long time, and only when Madam Ling called her out for lunch did she slowly and quietly walk out. She had changed into her home clothes, and her long hair was tied up, revealing her long, white, and happy neck. This was a kind of fresh beauty.

When she finally mustered up the courage to walk out, Long Zhenghao was already sitting at the dining table. He was wearing his own clothes and had a warm smile on his face, as if nothing had happened last night.

Seeing him so relaxed, Ling Mengzhu felt indignant in her heart. Why was she so worried and blushing, yet he was completely fine? Wasn’t this man a little ashamed?

The house that had been swept up into a mess last night was returned to its original state early in the morning, cleaned and tidy as usual by Mrs. Ling. Before Ling Mengzhu could sit down, Madam Ling smiled and said, “Zhu Zhu, why are you looking so listless? Is everything all right the first night? Or are you not used to sleeping together with me right now? ”

“Mom, he was drunk last night, so he climbed onto my bed. We didn’t do anything, so don’t think too much. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Long himself.” Ling Mengzhan was anxious to explain, it was better than admitting!

“Yes, I prove that bead’s words are true.” Long Zheng raised a chopstick in approval.

“It doesn’t matter if something happened or not. The important thing is that the two of you can coexist peacefully. I didn’t think too much about it, you’re just overthinking it.” She didn’t think too much into it. She never thought too much about it, but always had this ambiguous smile on her face. Ling Mengzhu was about to faint.

She went to sit beside Mrs. Ling and began to eat. She was so hungry that she ate without a care in the world. Since there were no outsiders here, she didn’t have much of an image in front of Long Zhenghao and Madam Ling. There was no need to pretend.

Long Zhenghao put a piece of beef into her bowl and said, “Don’t just keep eating. Eat some food. Your aunty’s rice is very delicious.”

“Thank you. I’ll do it myself.” Ling Meng Zhu raised his eyebrows and quickly looked at him. He picked up the piece of beef and tasted it. The taste was indeed very good. However, under the gazes of these two people, she didn’t even have the slightest appetite to taste them.

She lowered her head and ate for a while. Then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Madam Ling’s neck which was covered by her clothes and said, “By the way, mom, isn’t your neck injured? How about now? Did you see a doctor? ”

Madam Ling waved her hands. “It’s fine. I’m just getting a little broken skin. Just now, Zhenghao had already applied medicine and gauze for me. I’ll be fine very soon.”

Ling Mengzhu was relieved. Her gaze turned to Long Zhenghao as she gratefully said, “Thank you.”

Long Zhenghao shrugged and said, “If you say that, it will only make my heart even more sad. Last night’s events happened because of me, so I should be the one apologizing.”

After last night’s incident, she almost forgot about the earth-shattering incident that happened last night due to this morning’s affair. She slightly frowned, looking at Long Zhenghao and asked, “They are the people who stabbed you last time, aren’t they?”

Those people who were chasing Long Zhenghao and wanted to kill him were always following him. Ling Mengzhan had always been afraid of them!

She was scared, but Long Zhenghao didn’t care at all. He was silent for a while before he answered, “It was indeed them, but you don’t have to worry. I won’t be so careless about them anymore.”

“But it’s easy to dodge a spear when it’s open. It’s hard to defend against an arrow when it’s hidden. It’s very dangerous when you’re like this.”

Mentioning this matter, Mrs. Ling’s question also came, “Who are those people? Why did he want to injure Long Zhenghao? And … What kind of poison did they look for? Why can’t I understand a thing? ”

Ling Meng Zhu and Long Zhenghao looked at each other as Ling Meng Zhu lowered her head and continued eating, obviously throwing the question to Long Zhenghao.

Long Zhenghao thought about it, then finally said, “Aunty, this is a prescription from the hospital. Maybe those people want to sell it for money, but don’t worry, I’ll be more careful in the future.”

“Yeah, I’m worried about you guys.” Mrs. Ling sighed as she spoke. It was best not to let something as dangerous as last night happen. She had lived a peaceful and quiet life all her life, so her heart really couldn’t bear the burden.

Long Zhenghao smiled, “Aunt, don’t worry. Nothing will happen to me. I won’t let anything happen to Zhu Zhu.”

Ahem …! Ling Mengzhu almost choked to death from the rice grains in her mouth. She was perfectly fine when she heard him say such touching words again. While coughing, she raised her head and said to him, “Take care of yourself. I don’t need you to worry about me.”

Long Zhenghao couldn’t help but laugh when he saw her bedraggled appearance. Only when Ling Mengzhu angrily glared at him did he open his mouth and say, “That won’t do, it’s all because of me. I have to be responsible for your safety.”

Ling Mengzhu was too lazy to argue with him, since she had already lost the competition. She could only lower her head and continue eating. There was a moment of silence at the dining table. After a while, Madam Ling suddenly thought of something and said, “That’s right, Zhenghao. Someone called you early this morning to take your statement at the service hall. You should come over later, right?”

“Alright, I’ll be there in a moment.” Long Zhenghao put down his bowl and chopsticks, took a paper towel to wipe his mouth, and said with a serious expression, “If I tell you guys to take a statement, then you guys say that you don’t know anything and just saw them barge in.”

“Yes, we really don’t know anything.” Long Zhenghao looked at Ling Dreaming Pearl and she met his gaze. She then laughed, “I don’t know either. I don’t know anything.”

In fact, she knew everything. Seeing how fake her smile was, Long Zhenghao said goodbye to them before walking out of the restaurant to the service room to take his statement. Just as Long Zhenghao left, Madam Ling narrowed her eyes and glanced at Ling Mengzhu as she humphed, “Little girl, are you playing dumb with me? You even said that you don’t like him. I think you like him a lot.”

Ling Mengzhan’s face turned red, turned white, and finally shouted with a red face: “Mom, how come you don’t care at all that your daughter has been eaten and wiped clean by a man? “I’m the one who’s afraid. You were the one who told me to sleep next to him last night.”

“I told you to lean on him to sleep, and I didn’t tell you to hug him to sleep on the bed. What’s more, I saw that you, the victim, had a glowing face and was quite happy.” Mrs. Ling looked at her beautiful face, which was clearly more moist and radiant than usual.

Ling Mengzhu choked on her words and nearly vomited blood. In the end, she still used the same method she used before. She quickly finished the bowl of rice, handed over the bowl, and threw it outside the dining hall before hiding in her bedroom.

Walking into the bedroom, Ling Mengzhu stared blankly at the messy bedding for a while, before going up to clean it up. There was still his scent left in the bedding, and a strange feeling passed through her heart, one that was warm and sweet.

Was it really as Madam Ling said? She, the victim, was still happy after being killed? Oh my god! How could he lose so much face? If Long Zhenghao found out, he would definitely make fun of her again.

In the afternoon, Long Zhenghao went to take notes. When Ling Mengzhu went downstairs to relax in the garden, she was actually waiting for Long Zhenghao to come out. Because he had been gone for too long, she should have taken notes.
