CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 281: AREN’T YOU GOING TO FLIRT ANYMORE?

As soon as the connection was made, a large face appeared on the screen, surrounded by darkness, with only the light of the phone illuminating her.

The little cutie was still dressed in her adorable bunny outfit, with her hair tied into cute ox horns on top of her head, resembling scoops of ice cream.

The little figure on the other side of the video seemed to be adjusting the camera, and then, after seeing the face on the phone screen clearly, she immediately smiled and called out, "Brainiac~"

Her voice was soft and sweet, tinged with the unique whimsy of a little girl, "Shi Mei misses you so much."

The screen was dark all around, but Shi Mei’s face was the only thing visible, cast in dim light.

When Shi Lingyan heard her voice, his already complicated mood grew even more troubled.

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, the little cutie pouted and said in a sweet voice, "Brainiac’s face is so white, did you secretly powder your face?"

Yun Du smiled, and Tang Jingming’s big head leaned in, asking, "My little cutie, do you still remember who I am?"

"Tang Baobei~" Her voice was soft and sweet, as if it had been dipped in honey.

Tang Jingming’s heart melted, and drunkenly he said, "Are you having fun in M Country?"

"It’s fun! Ye Bao takes me shopping every day, there are lots of black people dancing and singing, and so many pigeons flying up, it’s so beautiful!"

"When do you plan to come back?"

"I don’t know, Ye Bao said he wants to take me to see the doctor, once Shi Mei gets well, I can go back."

Tang Jingming wanted to say something else, but suddenly Yun Du pulled him away.

Unwilling to be outdone, Tang Jingming glared at Yun Du, which only resulted in him getting a slap on the head from Yun Du, who said, "It’s a couple’s video call, what are you butting in for? Hurry up, go buy some food!"

Tang Jingming: "But..."

Yun Du didn’t wait for him to finish, he forcefully pulled him away and headed towards the door.

Just as they were one step away from the door, Yun Du suddenly turned back to give Shi Lingyan a deep look, and said softly, "Boss, it’s good to have the little sister-in-law by your side."

Tang Jingming also said, "Indeed, it’s nice, little cutie is really sweet. Hey, what are you doing? Show some respect, don’t drag me like... Hey!"

Yun Du closed the door with a swift motion.

Shi Lingyan’s gaze then fell back to the phone screen. Shi Mei was puffing her cheeks at the camera, her little brows knitted, her eyes looking slightly swollen.

Shi Lingyan asked softly, "What’s wrong with your eyes, have you been crying?"

Shi Mei was startled.

He could tell even in the dark?

But she quickly puffed up her cheeks again, huffing, "Ye Bao won’t let me eat ice cream!"

Her huffy voice carried the unique, innocent petulance of a child.

Shi Lingyan relaxed a bit, the pallor around his eyes and brows seeming to ease, "It’s too cold for that, you shouldn’t eat it."

Shi Mei pouted as if she wanted to reach the sky.

"Why’s it so dark? Didn’t you turn on the lights?"

"No lights. Ye Bao said Shi Mei got fat, Brainiac won’t like a fat Shi Mei, whine, whine, whine!"

Shi Lingyan chuckled, resting against the pillow, his expression soft and warm, "Shi Mei."

"Brainiac~"

"You must learn to live well with Ye Tiao. In case you’re left on your own one day, you must learn to survive..."

"Then I can be with Tang Baobei, right?" Shi Mei said, grinning, tilting her head, her voice sweet, "and also with Ye Bao!"

"One day they will have their own families, and they won’t take care of you."

"Then what about you?" Shi Mei’s voice grew even lighter, "Don’t you want Shi Mei anymore?"

Shi Lingyan was at a loss for words.
