Chapter 138 Yu Heng, please be mindful of boundaries.
"Tsk," Yu Heng clicked his tongue, "Where's my mom? Does she know?"
"You're still worried about these things?" He Mengyao said sarcastically.
"Otherwise what?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. "Haven't you thought about how your parents would react if they found out you were in trouble?"
"That's all in the past," He Mengyao said with a slightly serious expression, but quickly added with a hint of teasing, "You're so worried, but it hasn't stopped you from having a great time here."
"You heard everything?" Yu Heng said.
"I overheard a bit," He Mengyao shrugged. "The part where you said you didn't want to be in a relationship, but wanted lots of women."
Yu Heng didn't speak. He couldn't figure out what He Mengyao meant. He hadn't expected that she had also been reborn.
"You really are something," He Mengyao laughed, her laughter devoid of emotion, "you haven't changed at all."
Yu Heng looked at her: "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says," He Mengyao said. "It was the same in our past life. Even after marrying me, you still had someone else on your mind."
Yu Heng frowned: "When did I ever think about someone else?"
"Shen Yueling," He Mengyao uttered the name, "You dare say you never had feelings for her?"
Yu Heng remained silent for a few seconds.
"I did think about it," he admitted readily. "But I didn't intend to do anything; I just wanted to live a good life."
"Yes," He Mengyao nodded, "You want to live a good life, but unfortunately we can't live together."
Yu Heng had no way to refute these words.
"So now," He Mengyao looked him up and down, "you're quite the player."
Yu Heng laughed: "I used to play fancy tricks too, but you just wouldn't cooperate."
He Mengyao glared at him: "You bastard! When have I ever not given in to you? What did you say you wanted to try and I didn't agree to?"
"Is passively lying down the same as actively cooperating?" Yu Heng lit a cigarette. "Last time I said I wanted to have sex in the wild, you absolutely refused."
He Mengyao blushed and lowered her voice, "I've never tried it!"
"You have to try it if you haven't tried it before," Yu Heng exhaled a puff of smoke, "otherwise, what's the point of cooperation?"
He Mengyao gritted her teeth and looked at him: "So you've found someone willing to cooperate? Shen Yueling? Or that little girl from earlier?"
"Are you jealous?" Yu Heng asked, looking at her.
"Who's jealous?" He Mengyao turned her face away. "Why should I care about you? We have nothing to do with each other right now, Yu Heng. Please be mindful of boundaries."
Yu Heng was amused. Knowing that He Mengyao had also been reborn, he became even more interested in her.
"Then why did you follow me here?" Yu Heng asked.
"I just wanted to confirm if you've also been reborn," He Mengyao said, "After all, we were husband and wife."
"Confirmed, then what?"
"That's all." He Mengyao turned to leave. "I'm going back."
"Wait a minute," Yu Heng called out to her, "What have you been doing these past few months?"
He Mengyao stopped in her tracks without turning around: "Enjoy my youth and work hard to make money."
"How much did you do?"
"Not much," He Mengyao turned her head, a smug smile on her lips, "just a few hundred thousand."
Yu Heng raised an eyebrow: "Several hundred thousand? Did you rob a bank?"
"Stocks," He Mengyao took two steps back, "You think I only do housework at home? I've learned so many things."
Yu Heng clicked his tongue. After two months of hard work, he only made a profit of a little over 100,000 yuan.
He Mengyao felt a little pleased looking at his expression.
In his past life, he thought she didn't work and didn't earn money, but what about now?
"Sure," Yu Heng said. "So, what are your plans next?"
"Keep making money," He Mengyao said. "If you ever need money in the future, you can borrow from me. For the sake of our past as husband and wife, I'll lend it to you if you beg me."
Yu Heng chuckled. When she was in a good mood, she would be quite cheeky, but usually a good scolding would do the trick.
Looking at his expression, He Mengyao felt a surge of satisfaction again.
"What's wrong, got a shock?" She tilted her head. "All your clubs and guilds, all that fussing around, they're not as lucrative as what I do, are they?"
Yu Heng stubbed out his cigarette: "You seem quite happy?"
"Of course!" He Mengyao said with a smile, "I'm so cool!"
Yu Heng said, "Then I'll show you what's what," and then suddenly pulled her close and was about to kiss her.
He Mengyao struggled and said, "What are you doing? Are you being a pervert? Am I going to call for help?"
Yu Heng asked, "Are you sure?"
He Mengyao was taken aback. Every time Yu Heng asked her this question, he was threatening her.
In the past, if she disagreed, he would always find other ways to torment her.
For example, deliberately ignoring her, or deliberately refusing to give her what she really wants.
But given the current situation, how could she possibly agree? People kept passing by!
"I'm sure! Let me go!" He Mengyao said, her voice a little weaker than before.
Yu Heng said, "Don't refuse to let me kiss you, or I'll go kiss someone else."
"Go ahead," He Mengyao said, feeling a lump in her throat, but still raised her chin. "I don't care what you do."
Upon hearing this, Yu Heng smiled and actually let her go.
"Then I'm off," he said. "Bye."
He Mengyao stood there, gritting her teeth as she watched his retreating figure turn and leave.
Damn it... she was planning to come over and wish him a happy birthday.
She stomped her foot and turned to walk in the opposite direction.
-
The party was still going on, but the night was already deep.
Yu Heng walked in the middle, with Shen Yueling on his left and Bai Xinran on his right.
The three of them walked towards the residential area without saying a word.
Bai Xinran occasionally glanced up at Yu Heng's profile, then quickly lowered her gaze again.
She knew that Yu Heng and Shen Yueling had a date tonight, and she should have sensibly gone back to her dormitory, but Yu Heng asked her to go back together, so she followed him.
Shen Yueling glanced at Bai Xinran out of the corner of her eye. She pursed her lips, and that indescribable emotion welled up inside her again.
Pushing open the villa door, the three people changed their shoes and went inside.
"Ah Ling," he said, "go back inside and wait a while."
Bai Xinran paused while hanging up her coat, then nodded: "Okay."
She didn't even ask why, nor did she look at Shen Yueling, and just turned around and walked towards her room.
Shen Yueling watched as Bai Xinran gently closed the door before turning to look at Yu Heng.
"Why does she listen to you so much?" Shen Yueling asked.
Yu Heng walked to the sofa and sat down: "Because I will be her master from now on."
Shen Yueling pursed her lips but didn't reply.
He walked to the other end of the sofa and sat down, placing himself one person's distance from Yu Heng, and asked, "Yu Tong confessed to you?"
Yu Heng turned his head to look at her: "How did you know?"
"Because she didn't go back," Shen Yueling said. "You rejected her, didn't you?"
Yu Heng leaned back on the sofa and sighed, "Mm."
"Did you tell him your thoughts?" Shen Yueling continued, "Did you say you didn't want to be in a relationship or anything?"
"I told her, but she didn't accept it, and then she left," Yu Heng said.
"Damn it," Shen Yueling muttered, "Yutong is such a nice girl, why does she like you?"
