Meimei: Gentle Hands

"Pretty good." Zhu Mei answered.

"Really?" Li Hua asked further.

"Yeah, I don't have to do anything, just play around every day." Zhu Mei answered truthfully.

"Didn't they make you do anything excessive?" Li Hua asked again.

"No," Zhu Mei shook her head.

Li Hua noticed the gaze in Zhu Mei's eyes. There was no evasiveness, and she examined Zhu Mei's body. There was nothing abnormal about the part outside the swimsuit.

She felt relieved.

Although she didn't know what that pervert liked exactly, it was fine as long as Zhu Mei was unhurt.

No, how could I think like this!

Li Hua was ashamed of her consoling thoughts. She grabbed Zhu Mei's shoulders and said to her, "Mei Mei, let's run away while he's still in the villa! Let's escape quickly."

"No," Zhu Mei refused Li Hua without hesitation.

"Why?" Li Hua was astonished. She had expected Zhu Mei to refuse, but she had expected it would be a reluctant refusal, not such a decisive one.

Such a straightforward refusal felt as if she was pulling Zhu Mei into doing something bad.

In the face of Li Hua's confusion, Zhu Mei touched her head and replied, "My hand is kind."

Li Hua couldn't understand how the hand could be kind, but she could see that Zhu Mei didn't really want to leave.

So she gave up the idea and felt relieved.

Li Hua didn't dare to imagine what would happen if they really ran away.

Then, she frowned and started thinking about why Zhu Mei didn't want to leave.

"Do you have any good friends to play with?" Li Hua asked Zhu Mei.

Zhu Mei shook her head. "No."

"What's there to be happy about?" Li Hua wondered.

Instead of revealing the reason that Xia Yu resembled Xiong Xiong, Zhu Mei thought for a moment and replied, "Because of love."

Li Hua couldn't help but take a step back, her eyes widened, and her mind was in chaos.

After a while, she sighed, and this might be the best outcome.

After spending an afternoon with Zhu Mei, Li Hua returned to the embassy.

For the next two days, Li Hua came over during the day. She saw Xia Yu pat Zhu Mei's head with her own eyes and confirmed that Zhu Mei was genuinely happy. She accepted Zhu Mei's explanation.

On the third day, it was time for Xia Yu and his party to leave Haiming City and return to the first district.

Instead of choosing to land in Afang City to settle Zhu Mei and the others, Xia Yu chose to descend in Yaoguang City.

Yu Ningmeng personally came to meet them. This was for the issue of the 232nd district's princes and princesses and also for the previously mentioned issue of the gradual freezing syndrome.

At four in the afternoon, the plane landed at the airport, and Xia Yu and his party walked down.

Yu Ningmeng looked at the group of people. Walking in front, hand in hand, were Xia Yu and An Siyao. Behind them were Kong Hanyue and the others. Further back were four unfamiliar faces.

Among the four unfamiliar faces, the first two were probably the prince and the princess.

Zhu Mengbing, the prince, was nothing to look at. Yu Ningmeng quickly ignored him and focused on Zhu Mei.

Even Yu Ningmeng, no longer a young age, couldn't help but sigh that the girl was truly charming.

Unfortunately, she hadn't fully grown up yet.

If she were a man, seeing such a woman, she would try everything to get her hands on her.

After sighing, Yu Ningmeng came before Xia Yu.

She separated the hands of Xia Yu and An Siyao, and took An Siyao's hand herself.

"How did you get so tanned?" She looked at An Siyao with concern.

Xia Yu thought: staying at the beach for seven days straight, it would be strange if she didn't get tanned. Moreover, An Siyao's previous skin color was somewhat sickly white, now it was a bit darker and looked healthier.

After blaming Xia Yu for a while, Yu Ningmeng ended the small talk, came to Zhu Mei, and handed over the identification documents and other materials: "You can go to various cities, but you must report before you go."

The housekeeper took the information, expressed his understanding, and invited Yu Ningmeng to dinner.

He saw the extraordinary status of Yu Ningmeng and wanted to win her over.

Yu Ningmeng bluntly refused.

Under normal circumstances, Yu Ningmeng would accept the invitation. After all, the royal family of a fallen kingdom is still a royal family, and they might be useful in the future.

Speaking of which, a recent idol project was very suitable for the two of them - the story of a prince and princess debuting as idols to save their kingdom was excellent material.

However, Zhu Mei was brought by Xia Yu, and she was An Siyao's rival in love. As An Siyao's aunt, Yu Ningmeng had to firmly express her stance.

Disregarding the necessary pleasantries, Yu Ningmeng returned to An Siyao's side coldly.

"What are you going to do next?" Xia Yu asked Zhu Mei and the others.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Yu Ningmeng was satisfied. Xia Yu's words meant that the four of them could decide their future and break away from Zhu Mei.

No matter whether he was genuine or not, at least on the surface, it was pleasing.

When asked about their plans, Zhu Mengbing and the housekeeper looked at Li Hua. Such decisions were made by Li Hua; Zhu Mengbing was a simple-minded man, the housekeeper only knew how to manage the household, and Zhu Mei had no ideas of her own. Only Li Hua was reliable.

Li Hua opened her mouth, about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhu Mei.

Zhu Mei grabbed Xia Yu's hand: "I'll go with you."

Yu Ningmeng was dumbfounded, not expecting the princess to be so shameless.

Li Hua and the other two were also shocked, not believing that Zhu Mei would throw herself into the net.

Kong Hanyue, Yuxue, and Liu Manman found it normal; in their opinion, after getting along with Xia Yu, it would be strange not to want to follow him.

Hu Lianglu didn't have interest in Xia Yu, she looked at him with a disdainful gaze.

An Siyao's face remained unchanged, but her slightly paused breath indicated that she was not calm.

Xia Yu was also surprised, thinking Zhu Mei was concerned about repaying her debt with her body, so he explained: "I've said before, bringing you here is only because a friend asked me to take care of you, you can live freely."

"I can do a lot of things." Zhu Mei tried to sell herself as she looked at Xia Yu's palm, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Then go do them yourself." Xia Yu said as he pulled his hand away.

Seeing Zhu Mei wanting to continue talking, Yu Ningmeng hurriedly intervened: "Ahem, how much money do you have left? I can sell you a villa."

She wanted to end this topic quickly and not let Zhu Mei continue bothering Xia Yu.

Zhu Mei took out her bank card and gave it to Yu Ningmeng.

"OK, let me take you to see the villa." Yu Ningmeng led Zhu Mei and the others, saying goodbye to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu and the others were going to An Siyao's villa, which wasn't on the same route.

"By the way," Yu Ningmeng suddenly remembered something and said to Xia Yu, "An Tianfeng asked you not to leave in a hurry. He will come to see you tomorrow."

Alarm bells went off in Xia Yu's heart; clearly, An Tianfeng was coming because of him and An Siyao!

What should he do when his father-in-law arrives tomorrow?
