Chapter 130: Chapter 99: The Matriarch’s Demeanor

At the thought, Tan Hua couldn’t resist biting Qi Sheng on the chest.

"Messing around with other girls is one thing."

"But you even dared to hit on a married woman like Sister Miduo."

"It’s a good thing her ex-husband was a bit of a creep."

"Their sex life was terrible, which is why things didn’t blow up into a huge mess."

"I’ll let the thing with Sister Miduo slide, but don’t be so impulsive in the future."

Tan Hua traced a few circles on Qi Sheng’s chest with her fingernail.

After all, she was worried that if Qi Sheng went too far, he’d really get himself killed by a jealous husband.

"Ahem, you found out?"

Qi Sheng felt a little awkward. He thought he had done a pretty good job keeping it a secret.

"Hmph. A woman’s intuition is always sharp."

"Every time I mention you, the look in Sister Miduo’s eyes gets weird."

"It’s the same look I get when I think about you. It would be weirder if there was nothing going on between you two."

Hearing Qi Sheng admit it with his own mouth, Tan Hua didn’t know whether to praise herself for her sharp intuition or not.

’Thinking about a certain someone’s prowess... and his incredibly short cooldown period...’

Tan Hua decided she needed to recruit some backup.

’Miduo’s been married before, so she won’t challenge my place in Qi Sheng’s heart.’

’She can help share the... pressure, and I don’t have to worry about her stealing my boyfriend.’

’This is a deal worth making.’

Qi Sheng was also very eager to experience the double pleasure of being with both Miduo and Tan Hua.

But at a time like this, he definitely had to play it cool.

"I’m fine with whatever. If you’re really that scared, you can have Miduo come over and keep you company."

Seeing Qi Sheng play innocent after getting exactly what he wanted, Tan Hua rolled her eyes at him.

"Fine, forget it. I’ll call Xu Ying over instead."

"Xu Ying?"

Qi Sheng almost burst out laughing.

"Whatever you say."

’Silly girl.’

’Your two good-looking colleagues have long since been served up on a platter for me.’

Although Qi Sheng hadn’t officially slept with Xu Ying yet, he’d already given her an allowance.

If he wanted her, would Xu Ying really say no?

To be more precise, Xu Ying was dying for him to ask.

It was just that Qi Sheng was too busy to collect the... benefits he was due.

"Wait, you and Xu Ying... you didn’t, did you?"

Tan Hua sensed something was off from Qi Sheng’s expression.

She wracked her brain but couldn’t figure out when the two of them could have possibly gotten together.

’On second thought, Xu Ying really has changed a lot recently.’

’She used to be so listless at work, with no energy at all, just going through the motions to survive.’

’But recently, Xu Ying was like a whole new person.’

’She came to work every day brimming with energy, and our colleagues even teased her about being in love.’

’So that’s when Qi Sheng must have gotten close to her.’

At this thought, Tan Hua shot Qi Sheng a reproachful look.

’And to think she and Xu Ying were such good friends.’

’The two of them ganged up to hide it from her. She was so mad she could die!’

"Ahem, let me be clear. Nothing has happened between Xu Ying and me."

Seeing that he couldn’t hide it any longer, Qi Sheng decided to just explain the whole situation.

"Xu Ying and I had just made things official back then."

"That night, after you fell asleep, I was planning to go find Xu Ying in the nanny’s room."

"But I didn’t expect Miduo to be the one in the bed. And after that..."

After hearing the whole story, Tan Hua was stunned silent for a long time.

’Wow, talk about dramatic.’

"Forget it. What’s past is past."

Tan Hua heard that Qi Sheng had bought Miduo an apartment.

It was still being decorated, so she didn’t mind too much.

It was Qi Sheng’s money; how he chose to spend it was his business.

Besides, the mansion Qi Sheng had bought for her was worth almost twice as much as Miduo’s apartment.

"Since the apartment at Renheng Riverside Bay isn’t finished yet, they can just stay here for now."

"Come to think of it, we’re practically comrades who’ve fought in the same trenches."

As she said this, Tan Hua couldn’t help but laugh.

’When you thought about it, the three of them really were bound by fate.’

’Working at the same store, bagged by the same man... some "sisters" they turned out to be.’

"Darling wife, it’s getting late. Are you all rested up?"

At this point, anything Qi Sheng said would be the wrong thing, so he decided to let his actions speak for him.

Of course, Tan Hua knew exactly what was on Qi Sheng’s mind.

’This guy just wanted to wear her out, forcing her to get used to the idea of being with Xu Ying and the others.’

"Hmph. Just wait until you’re thirty. Don’t blame us when we’re the ones wearing you out then."

Tan Hua was now eagerly awaiting the day she could finally turn the tables and be the one in charge.

’When that day came, she would definitely make Qi Sheng understand.’

’That having too many women isn’t necessarily a good thing.’

But how could she have known that her boyfriend’s Physique would only grow stronger and stronger?

With a Physique of just 85, a one-on-three was no problem at all.

If his Physique reached Max-Level, even another ten women wouldn’t be an issue.

...

The next day, Qi Sheng took Tan Hua to work.

Miduo was busy sorting stock with the other staff when Xu Ying happened to spot Qi Sheng.

Xu Ying was thrilled, almost forgetting that their relationship had to be kept secret.

Fortunately, a knowing look from Tan Hua beside her instantly jolted her back to her senses.

Xu Ying quickly turned her head and pretended to be busy, her heart pounding with nervousness and fear.

"Huahua, good morning."

"Wow, President Qi is here too! What a rare honor."

"President Qi, when are we all getting together for a meal? We can all chip in to treat you."

As soon as the two of them entered the store, a group of pretty salesgirls enthusiastically swarmed them.

They fawned over the tall and handsome Qi Sheng.

In their social circles, Qi Sheng was about as top-tier as it got.

Naturally, they all wanted to get on his good side and secure a potential safety net for themselves.

"How about this: I’ll treat everyone to dinner tonight. I’ll have Miduo pick a place, and she’ll let you all know."

Qi Sheng was in high spirits from his recent good fortune, and made the generous offer with a grand wave of his hand.

"Wow, President Qi, you’re the absolute best!"

The salesgirls were quick to play along, showering him with sweet, flirtatious flattery that put him in an excellent mood.

’Well, it’s nice to keep life simple.’

’It’s just one meal. It doesn’t cost much, and it makes everyone happy.’
