"What did you say?" Xia Ningning said angrily as she glared at Ye Ming, "Who says I don’t understand? How could I not understand!"
Ye Ming completely ignored her and continued into the house, pulling Xu Lele along with him.
Seeing this, Xia Ningning grew even more furious and hurriedly followed, saying, "Ye Ming, why are you ignoring me? Is it because I exposed you, and you feel ashamed?"
Ye Ming simply responded, "Not at all, I just don’t have anything in common to talk about with you."
"You..." Xia Ningning was momentarily speechless, trying to figure out how to retort, when Xu Lele couldn’t help but chime in, "Come on, Ningning, didn’t you two agree to pretend to be a couple? Why does it look like you’re flirting? I’m really starting to think you’re getting serious in this fake act!"
"Of course, if you want to get serious about something, I certainly wouldn’t mind!"
Xu Lele’s sudden comment made Xia Ningning immediately shut up, her face turning beet red.
She couldn’t help but think of the image of herself with Ye Ming at the hotel, her mind beginning to wander.
Once inside, Xu Lele said to Ye Ming, "Ye Ming, we came here for a simple reason this time, just to have Ningning post a few more moments in her friend circle to solidify your status before you leave."
Upon hearing Xu Lele’s words, Ye Ming felt a bit puzzled and asked, "Leaving?"
Xu Lele was also perplexed and countered, "Aren’t you going to the Martial Department to become the Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad in a couple of days?"
Ye Ming was stunned on the spot; he hadn’t expected Xu Lele to know about this.
But then he realized that with their status, finding out about this wouldn’t be difficult.
Having witnessed the Xia Family’s intelligence network on several occasions, it seemed like no matter the issue, a simple phone call was all she needed to get updated, which made Ye Ming very envious, and he had often wished to have his own Intelligence Organization. freewebnσvel.cѳm
However, he remembered he had Feng Yun under his command, a network expert who could vie with the Martial Department, no less capable than the Xia Family’s Intelligence Organization, and he believed his own Intelligence Organization would be the most powerful in the future.
At that moment, Xu Lele took out the package she had brought, and began to pull out the clothes inside.
The sight of the clothes instantly made not only Xia Ningning’s face turn a deep shade of red but also caused Ye Ming to blush.
The item in the package was a set of couple’s pajamas.
"Le Le, what is this you’ve prepared? Didn’t I ask you to get couple clothes?" Xia Ningning timidly chided.
Previously, to make their pretend couple status more convincing, Xu Lele had come up with the idea that they could wear couple clothes for a photo shoot, which would significantly increase the persuasiveness of the ruse.
Because the previous moments posted hadn’t been convincing enough, Xia Ningning was still surrounded by a bunch of people, and she hadn’t achieved the effect she wanted, so she thought to have Xu Lele help her plan something.
Xu Lele happily agreed and even offered to take pictures of them in couple clothes, which Xia Ningning also agreed to.
But unexpectedly, Xu Lele had prepared couple’s pajamas instead.
What’s more, they were silk ultra-thin ones, which only very intimate couples would wear.
Xu Lele earnestly explained, "Couple’s pajamas must be more convincing than couple clothes, right? This way, the effect would definitely be reached, and nobody would bother you in the future."
"But..."
Xia Ningning’s cheeks turned a shy red, and she hung her head, speaking in a voice as fine as a mosquito’s, "But the couple’s pajamas you bought are too revealing, aren’t they? I think it’s a bit inappropriate, too embarrassing. I’m afraid that if others see it, they’ll get the wrong idea."
Xu Lele gave a hee-hee laugh and said as if it were the most natural thing, "Ningning, are you being silly? They’re couple’s pajamas, doesn’t that signify something? Besides, such pajamas will prove even more that you two have been sleeping together, completely dispelling others’ thoughts. Isn’t that the effect you wanted?"
In the end, under Xu Lele’s incessant persuasion, Xia Ningning finally agreed, albeit with embarrassment, and took the clothes to change into them.
Ye Ming gave Xu Lele a helpless look and also took his clothes back to the room.
He had thought about refusing, but he had once promised Xia Ningning to help, and indeed, the current approach would resolve things once and for all; they wouldn’t have to prove anything anymore, though the cost was somewhat high.
Ye Ming himself had nothing to lose. As a man, and one with a thicker skin at that, but what Xia Ningning was sacrificing was her reputation.
The fallout from this WeChat Moment post would be unimaginable.
Soon, Ye Ming had changed into his pajamas and come out.
Xu Lele’s eyes lit up, and she stared at Ye Ming with rapt attention, nearly drooling.
"Ye Ming, why do I feel like you’re so handsome today? Could I be mistaken?" Xu Lele couldn’t help but express her opinion.
Only then did Ye Ming remember that he had taken the Bone Sculpting Elixir before, which had strengthened his bones. Coupled with the Sky-shattering Stone Technique, his body’s toxins had been released, his skin had become much whiter, and his facial contours had grown more handsome—it was as if he had turned on a beauty filter.
With the enhancement of the pajamas, Xu Lele felt an impulse to pounce on him.
"Uh... maybe it’s just because you haven’t seen me in a long time," Ye Ming explained.
Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Xia Ningning also hurriedly ran out, wanting to see for herself.
When she saw Ye Ming in pajamas, her face also reddened, and her heartbeat sped up.
Indeed, as Xu Lele had said, there had been certain changes in Ye Ming compared to before.
"All right, you two sit together, and try to be a bit more intimate!" Xu Lele was already urging them, "Hurry up and take the photo. I still want to eat something delicious!"
Xia Ningning nodded, sitting next to Ye Ming with some difficulty.
Her pajamas were a summer style; the top was a short-sleeved shirt and the bottom was a pair of ultra-short shorts, her fair skin fully exposed to Ye Ming’s eyes.
Feeling the warmth of the girl next to him, Ye Ming’s heart also started to feel uneasy.
The two sitting together displayed a certain discordance, as if they were two people who didn’t know each other at all.
Xu Lele, seeing this, became a bit anxious, and pretended to be angry as she scolded, "You two are too cold like this."
"Ningning, you need to make some move."
Following Xu Lele’s direction, Xia Ningning placed her legs on Ye Ming’s thighs, with one hand on his shoulder.
After looking at them, Xu Lele nodded with satisfaction and said, "That’s more like it. Maintain that pose; I’m going to take the picture!"
After these words, Xu Lele pressed the shutter button and promptly posted the WeChat Moment, with the caption: I just want to wake up to see you every day!
