Chapter 224 Youyou Goes Crazy
Chapter 224 Youyou Goes Crazy
"What are you afraid of? Mom is sleeping soundly." Ning Xiuyang's breathing became heavy as he rubbed against her fair and beautiful neck, leaving behind a series of delicate kisses.
The air in the kitchen quickly became ambiguous and intense. The sizzling sound of the eggs in the frying pan seemed to accompany the enchanting morning.
Just as Ning Xiuyang was about to turn her around for a deeper conversation—
"Buzz...buzz...buzz..."
A sudden, urgent video call ringtone broke the spring-like ambiance of the room, emanating from the coffee table in the living room.
The ringing sounded particularly jarring in the quiet morning.
Shen Yourong felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, her whole body jolted, and she instantly woke up.
Ning Xiuyang also stopped moving.
The two looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
Ning Xiuyang picked up his phone and saw the two big characters "Youyou" jumping merrily on the caller ID.
Shen Yourong also spotted the familiar nickname and her daughter's profile picture. Her pretty face drained of color in an instant, turning deathly pale.
It's Youyou!
Why would she video call so early in the morning?
Done!Done!
A tremendous panic gripped her heart in an instant.
She frantically pushed Ning Xiuyang away, her face filled with panic, her voice trembling: "Quick...quick, hang up! No! You...you hide!"
She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, completely losing her composure.
She couldn't even imagine the consequences if her daughter found out she was with her senior from her university, especially in her own home.
However, in stark contrast to her panic was Ning Xiuyang's unusually calm expression.
Far from being flustered, he even had a playful smile on his lips.
What's meant to come will come.
I just didn't expect this little girl to be so impatient.
He calmly made a "shush" gesture to Shen Yourong, who was on the verge of tears, and mouthed two words to her: "Don't be afraid."
Then, to Shen Yourong's astonishment, he leaned down and lightly pecked her trembling red lips, whispering, "I'm going to answer a call. You continue making breakfast and pretend you don't know anything."
This kiss was like a calming pill, magically soothing Shen Yourong's wildly beating heart.
She stared blankly at Ning Xiuyang, only to see him calmly pick up his phone, walk towards the living room, and casually grab a shirt from the sofa to put on.
He didn't answer the phone immediately. Instead, he switched his phone camera to the front and looked at himself to make sure that only he and the unfamiliar white wall behind him were in the frame.
After doing all this, he leisurely walked to a corner, with his back to the bedroom and kitchen, and calmly pressed the green answer button.
The video call connected instantly.
On the phone screen, Shen Youyou's beautiful face, tinged with a hint of resentment and scrutiny, immediately appeared.
She seemed to have just woken up; her hair was still a little messy, and she was wearing cute pajamas. But her big eyes were bright and piercing, like a little detective, as she sharply scanned Ning Xiuyang on the screen.
"Master~" she drawled, her tone full of coquettishness and a hint of barely perceptible probing, "You finally agreed to video call me?"
Ning Xiuyang leaned against the wall and lazily yawned: "What's up so early in the morning?"
"I missed you." Shen Youyou pouted, but her eyes subtly glanced behind Ning Xiuyang.
She glanced at Ning Xiuyang, then fixed her gaze on the background behind him.
The walls were white and undecorated; it wasn't a hotel room, nor did it resemble his apartment room.
Very strange.
But... why does it feel so strangely familiar?
Just as she was wondering, her gaze fell on the exposed wooden baseboard in the corner behind Ning Xiuyang.
That unique color, that slightly outdated style...
Shen Youyou's pupils suddenly contracted.
The expression on her face changed instantly from scrutiny and resentment to utter astonishment and shock.
This baseboard... how... how come it's exactly the same as the one in my house?!
She stared intently at the screen, her heart pounding, when a ridiculous thought, so absurd it seemed unbelievable to her, surged wildly into her mind.
The words Zheng Yulu said in the mall that day resurfaced in my mind.
Could it be that he really is with his mother...?
that……
She took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness, and asked, word by word, "Ning Xiuyang...you...what are you doing in my house?!"
This question was less an expression of anger and more a desperate cry of despair on the verge of collapse. She was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her fur standing on end, yet her voice was filled with disbelief and panic.
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something even more terrifying, her voice suddenly rose, and she screamed:
"What did you do to my mother?! Ning Xiuyang! You bastard!"
Faced with the girl's beautiful face in the video, distorted by extreme panic and anger, Ning Xiuyang showed not a trace of tension at being caught red-handed.
He didn't even twitch his eyebrows.
On the contrary, he watched Shen Youyou's almost collapsing expression with great interest, a wicked and amused smile curling at the corner of his mouth, as if watching a long-awaited show finally begin.
He slowly adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable on the sofa before lazily speaking.
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of mockery, echoing like a devil's whisper, and clearly reached Shen Youyou's ears through the phone.
"What's the rush?"
He chuckled softly, his eyes filled with a knowing, playful glint.
"Didn't I already... tell you about this last night?"
last night?
What did you say last night?
Shen Youyou's mind seemed to have been paused, and she went blank for several seconds.
Immediately, the words that had kept her tossing and turning all night, filled with anger, shame, and jealousy, exploded in her mind like dynamite thrown into boiling oil!
"I recently got one..."
original……
"what!"
Shen Youyou let out a short, desperate scream. She could no longer bear the shock that felt like the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. Her mind was in chaos, and her fingers swiped wildly across the screen before she hurriedly hung up the video call.
The world seemed to collapse at that moment.
She jumped out of bed like a madwoman, not even bothering to put on slippers. She grabbed a coat haphazardly and threw it over her pajamas, then stumbled out of the apartment building, her mind filled with only one thought.
Come back home!
She had to go home immediately! She wanted to see for herself if all of this was really true!
"Youyou... what's wrong?"
Tang Wei had just finished cooking breakfast and was about to call the Zheng sisters and Shen Youyou to eat together when she saw Shen Youyou rushing out in a hurry. She shook her head in confusion and then went to call the Zheng sisters.
