He grabbed Ming Mei's delicate hand and kissed it, asking, "Was it good?"
Ming Mei murmured softly, and Zhuang Zhixi teased, "You're not being honest!"
Ming Mei let out a soft laugh and then snuggled into his arms. Zhuang Zhixi kissed her forehead.
Ming Mei wrapped her arms around his waist and asked, "Are you tired?"
Zhuang Zhixi immediately perked up, saying, "Tired? I don't even know the meaning of the word. If you're up for it, I can keep going..."
Ming Mei poked him: "No way."
Even if he wasn't tired, she was. Seeing his hands start to wander again, Ming Mei, lying in Zhuang Zhixi's arms, changed the subject: "What did Bai Fendou want with you?"
Zhuang Zhixi knew Ming Mei was deliberately changing the topic, but he didn't call her out on it. He smiled and said, "He's worried that Chen Yuan might ruin his marriage and that someone might bring up He Lan's background."
Ming Mei sat up abruptly: "And then?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I think it'll be fine."
