Si Mei

Chapter 228 The Noble and Elegant Cat

Song Ni did not completely finish watching Li Jing's impromptu performance in the end, and was even mocked by Su Jingxi on WeChat. What could Song Ni do? She couldn't do anything. Tan Zheng was like this; when he was jealous, he always found a way to make her stop doing things that made him jealous. Last time, he simply carried her away from the performance venue, and this time, he kissed her in front of so many people. The consequence of this was that Song Ni still kicked Tan Zheng out of the room that night. Tan Zheng, holding the doorknob, couldn't turn it open: ... The man put his hands on his hips, stared at the locked door for a long time, and asked, "Baby, aren't you afraid of sleeping alone in such a big room?" The soundproofing of the door was very good, and Tan Zheng had to get very close to hear anything inside. "I'm perfectly comfortable sleeping alone, so you can sleep in the guest room!" The guest room? This was his home, why should he sleep in the guest room? As they had just moved in, Tan Zheng didn't know where all the room keys were, so he pondered for a moment and went downstairs. Fortunately, Song Ni liked spacious balconies, so he had specially instructed people to perfect the master bedroom's balcony during the renovation. Tan Zheng stood downstairs, contemplating whether to climb up from the ground floor or go to the adjacent room upstairs and then climb over. Just then, Song Ni came out wearing a red slip dress, holding a glass of red wine. She leaned casually against the railing, graceful and charming, as if she knew he was downstairs, and looked straight at him, then curled her lips into a smile. A回头一笑百媚生 (a single backward glance can evoke a hundred charms), but Song Ni's direct gaze was even more alluring to Tan Zheng. Song Ni's usual nightgowns were very simple, white or pink, but she rarely wore such a bright red. It was probably during a moment of deep passion that Tan Zheng accidentally let it slip. He thought Song Ni looked most stunning in red dresses, and he liked it the most. Now, Song Ni was standing on the balcony in a red dress, high above, a smile on her lips, her eyes like shimmering autumn water looking at him. Tan Zheng unconsciously swallowed hard. He had never seen this red dress in Song Ni's wardrobe; had she bought it specifically? Song Ni seemed to notice the infatuation in Tan Zheng's eyes and raised her wine glass to him. "Have a good night." She smiled brazenly and provocatively, clearly taking revenge for Tan Zheng deliberately tempting her a few days ago and then withholding himself. Tan Zheng suddenly smiled. His little girl was truly clever when she was clever, and truly naive when she was naive. Did she really think locking the door would stop him? Song Ni sighed and took out a set of keys. "Ah, the keys are here." She still remembered how Tan Zheng had used a key to open the door when she had locked herself in the Linjiang apartment before! This time, she had been cautious and asked the housekeeper for the keys before he left. Tan Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing the girl's somewhat triumphant expression, his eyes full of indulgence and amusement. He said, "Baby, you'll regret this." Regret? Hearing this, Song Ni just snorted proudly. Why would she regret it? Tsk, why was the wine so good today? It was the middle of winter, and it was too cold outside. After standing for just a minute, Song Ni felt cold. Drinking wine didn't warm her body. She had gone to such lengths to annoy Tan Zheng, standing on the balcony in a slip dress in the middle of winter. Thinking this, Song Ni returned to her room, found a thick blanket, and then went back to the balcony to lie on the lounge chair, looking at the night sky. A few scattered stars dotted the black night sky, possessing a rare beauty. When Tan Zheng looked over from the adjacent room, this was the scene he saw. Song Ni, wearing a red dress, was covered with a white blanket. She wasn't covered very tightly, and her slender neck was exposed. The bright red and pure white intertwined, creating a visual feast. Song Ni's languid posture was very much like the noblest and most elegant cat in an animated film. Tan Zheng's gaze shifted down to her exposed ankles, the lines of her slender ankles particularly distinct, bony yet alluring. And this noble little cat, occasionally shrinking its neck from the cold wind, still haughtily raised its wine glass, swirling it, and taking sips from time to time. It truly looked supremely comfortable and enjoyable, so much so that she hadn't even noticed him arriving. Tan Zheng curved his lips, and when he saw Song Ni's shoulders shrink again, he finally spoke. "In the middle of winter, you're taking advantage of your good health to cause trouble?" Song Ni, who was drinking, was startled by this voice, and the wine in her hand spilled, drenching her. The white blanket was stained red, and her collarbone was also soaked in red. Song Ni turned around abruptly, her eyes widening, her pupils constricting, when she saw Tan Zheng standing right behind her. "How did you get in?" Tan Zheng just smiled and said nothing. Seeing the open window of the adjacent room, Song Ni understood everything. Good heavens, Tan Zheng had learned to climb walls and balconies? She really hadn't expected Tan Zheng to go to such lengths. She had locked the door, made sure there were no other doors to enter, and even clutched the keys in her hand. She had even subconsciously estimated that the possibility of jumping from the adjacent room was too low. Oh, she was wrong, it was too low for *her* to jump. If Tan Zheng came, it wouldn't be difficult at all, especially with those long legs. In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through Song Ni's mind. When she met Tan Zheng's smiling eyes, her heart trembled. Just now... what had Tan Zheng said downstairs? He said she would regret it. Hehehehe... She did regret it a little now. Song Ni unconsciously pulled the white blanket around herself, now wishing she could wrap herself up completely. Tan Zheng liked to see her in red dresses, and he had been so jealous during the day... Song Ni suddenly felt cowardly. The last time she secretly returned to Xingcheng to watch Li Qiao's competition, she was caught by Tan Zheng on the spot. The jealous man ignored her coquettish pleas and simply carried her to... It was over, and it happened to be Lan Ting. Song Ni blinked her eyes, then stared intently at Tan Zheng, a smile forming on her lips. "Husband, your legs are so long, and you're so agile." With that, while Tan Zheng was momentarily dazzled by Song Ni's smile, Song Ni immediately threw off the blanket and nimbly ran towards the room. Just as she was closing the door, a foot suddenly came across, blocking it. Song Ni: ... It's over, it's over, Tan Zheng really got into the room. Did this dog man already think about how to get in when he was downstairs? And he even dug a pit for her. But what was agonizing was that in such an emergency, Song Ni could still spare some thought for the foot Tan Zheng used to block the door. Why had she used her hand to block the door in Yancheng? Speechless, truly speechless. Song Ni forced a smile. "Husband, does your foot hurt?"
