My Wife, So Fierce! - Chapter 55

“Right.”

How could Zheng Yao possibly contradict her at a time like this?

It’s just that the thought of being seen completely naked by Shen Baiyi made her restless and uneasy. It felt strange, very uncomfortable, and she didn’t even dare to meet Shen Baiyi’s gaze.

“Last night!” she struggled to speak, “I didn’t do anything crazy while drunk, did I?”

As she spoke, she looked up at Shen Baiyi.

Last time, when she was dragged along by a drunk Shen Baiyi and taken advantage of, even though they pretended nothing happened the next day, she still felt uneasy for several days.

If what happened last night wasn’t a dream, then Shen Baiyi’s face should show some traces of it, right?

She looked carefully, but Shen Baiyi’s expression was completely natural, she even let out a light laugh.

Zheng Yao immediately felt as if facing a great enemy.

No way?

Did I really go crazy while drunk?

But Shen Baiyi denied it: “No.”

Zheng Yao: “…”

Why did she find that so hard to believe?

“Don’t worry, sister.” Recalling how beautiful her sister looked on the sofa last night, Shen Baiyi’s eyes curved with laughter. “Sister was very well-behaved last night, didn’t do anything crazy while drunk.”

Even later when she helped her sister bathe, her sister remained very obedient.

She had been well-behaved too, suppressing all her impulses for fear her sister would suspect something.

Aside from tasting the cherries, she hadn’t done anything excessive. She hadn’t even dared to use much force while playing with that soft area, afraid of leaving any marks.

Thinking this, she propped her chin on her hands, leaning on the table to carefully study her sister: “Sister is so cute when drunk.”

So obedient.

And so easy to bully.

Remembering the cherries she had tasted, the smile on her face deepened.

Being called cute by a girl several years younger made Zheng Yao feel embarrassed. She put on a stern face: “Don’t mention this matter again in the future.”

Shen Baiyi agreed quickly: “Okay, whatever sister says.”

Then she remembered the photos and videos she saw yesterday. Her smile faded slightly as she lowered her gaze: “Where did sister go to have fun yesterday? How come you came back so drunk?”

“With some friends.” Zheng Yao’s expression darkened at the memory of last night’s events, but she didn’t plan to discuss these matters with Shen Baiyi, brushing over it vaguely. “Didn’t drink much.”

Seeing this, Shen Baiyi lowered her head: “I see…”

She didn’t press further.

Actually, after calming down, she began to think Lin Weiwei was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between her and her sister.

If her sister had really done that kind of thing with someone else, why didn’t Lin Weiwei film it and send it to her, instead sending videos of other people?

She looked it up, it was called a king’s game. If you don’t follow the “king’s” demands, you have to drink. Since her sister came back drunk yesterday, she must have chosen to drink.

But for her sister to go to that kind of bar.

Why?

Was it really like Lin Weiwei said that her sister was looking for a girlfriend?

At this thought, she pressed her lips together and became unhappy again.

There were actually clues.

Her sister seemed to be going on dates with Dr. Zhuang more frequently recently, and the way her sister looked at Dr. Zhuang was completely different from before.

She hated it when her sister looked at others that way.

Shen Baiyi made no attempt to hide her gaze.

Feeling Shen Baiyi’s eyes fixed on her, Zheng Yao’s eyelid twitched. She couldn’t help asking: “Why are you staring at me like that?”

Shen Baiyi sighed and withdrew her gaze. Hearing this familiar question, her answer remained unchanged: “Sister is beautiful.”

Zheng Yao was left speechless.

Fortunately, Shen Baiyi didn’t continue staring. Instead, she stood up and said, “Sister, can we make dumplings for lunch?”

After a pause, she added, “Let’s make them together.”

Zheng Yao’s first thought was that it sounded troublesome. She furrowed her brows: “If you want dumplings, we can just eat out.”

Wouldn’t making them ourselves be too much effort?

“I want to make dumplings with you, sister.” Shen Baiyi’s voice softened slightly. “Is that okay?”

This request wasn’t unreasonable at all.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zheng Yao finally agreed: “Alright then.”

“Thank you, sister.”

A radiant smile spread across Shen Baiyi’s face. She headed to the kitchen, first taking out the prepared breakfast and placing it on the table before grabbing her phone: “Sister, I’ll go buy the ingredients.”

The market was quite close to home, so Zheng Yao nodded reassuringly: “Okay, be careful on the way.”

Shen Baiyi responded: “Alright.”

The thought of making dumplings with her sister at noon made Shen Baiyi’s excitement impossible to conceal.

But she never expected to run into an unexpected person at the market.

It was the girl with the red afro she’d met right after losing her memory.

At first, Shen Baiyi didn’t recognize who it was because that signature red afro had changed color.

The golden afro bounced with each movement, making her look like a golden-maned lion king.

If not for the lip ring, she probably wouldn’t have remembered this person at all.

This was the delinquent girl her sister had warned her not to hang out with, so Shen Baiyi ignored her greeting and tried to walk past her.

The next second, her arm was grabbed.

“Shen Baiyi, pretending we’re strangers now?” The girl’s face was full of displeasure.

Shen Baiyi’s expression turned cold as she shook off the girl’s hand. She took several steps back, her face full of vigilance: “Who are you?”

This directly made Jin Tong laugh in anger: “It’s ‘Sister Jin’ when you need something, and ‘who are you’ when you don’t, huh? Shen Baiyi, kicking away the ladder after using it?”

She kept calling her Shen Baiyi, clearly actually knowing her. Shen Baiyi pressed her lips together and remained silent, not making a sound.

Had she actually been close with someone like this before?

Her sister obviously didn’t know about this, and her sister didn’t like this person. Regardless of the past, she absolutely couldn’t get close to this person now.

But she still didn’t know what her previous relationship with this person had been.

So she maintained her cold demeanor, silently watching the other girl.

Seeing this, Jin Tong’s blood boiled with anger: “Remember when you first came here? No money, no place to go, couldn’t even compete with homeless people for a spot under the bridge. It was me, Jin Tong, who found you work. It was me, Jin Tong, who gave you a place to stay. Shen Baiyi, now that you’re all dressed up and proper, you want to kick me to the curb, is that it?”

Shen Baiyi’s eyes flickered slightly.

So she had lived at this Jin Tong girl’s place before?

In what capacity?

Friends or lovers?

No, it couldn’t be lovers.

“What do you want?” she asked expressionlessly.

This question stumped Jin Tong.

What did she want?

She didn’t really know what she wanted either. She just couldn’t stand Shen Baiyi’s current attitude of turning her back on their past.

And…

She gritted her teeth: “Fine, you can pretend you don’t know me. But don’t forget how much my grandmother helped you back then. She’s sick now, you should at least show some gratitude, right?”

Hearing this, Shen Baiyi finally felt some relief. Jin Tong had a grandmother. Perhaps it was the old woman who had taken pity on her and let her stay at Jin Tong’s place.

Rather than because she and Jin Tong had some kind of relationship or transaction.

“Sure.” She promptly took out her phone. “How much does the medical treatment cost?”

Her lavish manner surprised Jin Tong: “Did you strike it rich?”

“Didn’t you say it was a great kindness?”

Shen Baiyi raised an eyebrow.

These words left Jin Tong speechless. After hesitating for a long while, she finally said, “Then transfer five hundred yuan, consider it as nutritional expenses for my grandmother.”

As she spoke, she also took out her phone, her face full of dissatisfaction: “I’ve been messaging you during this time, why haven’t you replied?”

Shen Baiyi’s movements paused slightly.

After just a moment, she resumed her usual expression and opened the Alipay page, saying calmly, “Give me your Alipay account.”

Her attitude made Jin Tong furious, but one shouldn’t let pride get in the way of money. In the end, she honestly provided her account number.

“You sent me messages?” After transferring the money, Shen Baiyi asked casually.

“Of course!” Jin Tong said without hesitation, opening the chat interface with Shen Baiyi. “See for yourself, look how many messages I sent!”

Shen Baiyi took the phone, clicked into the WeChat profile information, her gaze lingering on the WeChat ID for a moment before subtly exiting.

She handed the phone back to Jin Tong: “My account was hacked.”

Jin Tong was speechless.

She quickly opened the scan function: “What’s your new account?”

“No need to add me.” Shen Baiyi said indifferently, “Thank you and your family for your care before. I’ve transferred the money, no need to contact me again in the future.”

Jin Tong’s face darkened, but just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the transfer of five thousand yuan and immediately swallowed her words.

She said awkwardly, “This is too much. If my grandmother finds out, she’ll scold me.”

“I have things to attend to, goodbye.” Shen Baiyi didn’t continue the conversation, nodded at her, turned and left.

Seeing her leave so decisively, Jin Tong quickly caught up: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll cling to you and extort money from you in the future?”

“Will you?” Shen Baiyi asked calmly.

She hadn’t worried about this.

Upon closer inspection, she thought Jin Tong wasn’t as bad as imagined. The other party was carrying only vegetables and meat, kept talking about her grandmother, and only asked for five hundred yuan.

She didn’t seem too bad.

Seeing Jin Tong stumped by her question, unable to respond for a long time, she lost patience. After putting her things away, she got on her bicycle and left.

Still, she remained cautious, taking several detours before returning to her apartment building.

She had been out for too long, and when she returned home, her sister inevitably asked a few questions.

Shen Baiyi: “I was comparing prices at different stores, so it took some time.”

Hearing this, Zheng Yao clicked her tongue: “So troublesome. I said we should just eat out, much more convenient.”

Putting down her things, Shen Baiyi turned and hugged her: “I just wanted to make dumplings with my sister.”

The move was too sudden. Before Zheng Yao could react, she was already embraced.

Shen Baiyi didn’t hug for long, keeping it just enough to catch Zheng Yao off guard and release her before she could respond.

She proactively stepped back, eyes curved in a smile: “I often heard Zhu Xiaofu say that making dumplings with family is very happy. I wanted to experience it too.”

She always knew how to make her sister soften.

“Alright then.”

With things put this way, Zheng Yao couldn’t refuse and swallowed the words she had prepared earlier.

Originally, she had planned to use the excuse that a friend needed her and hide outside for the day.

She had never made dumplings by hand before and wasn’t particularly interested in the process. But seeing how happy and excited Shen Baiyi looked, she couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of anticipation.

However, there was one thing she didn’t quite understand about Shen Baiyi: even though there was a meat grinder at home, Shen Baiyi seemed to prefer the most primitive method chopping the meat filling by hand with a kitchen knife.

Watching Shen Baiyi’s toned arm muscles move rhythmically before her eyes, Zheng Yao’s gaze flickered slightly.

Shen Baiyi had a strong grip.

Suddenly, her brows furrowed again. If last night was a dream, where exactly did the dream begin?

Did it start when Shen Baiyi carried her like a princess, or when they were kissing passionately on the sofa?
