Chapter 2099: Chapter 2102: I’m Not His Woman
Maimai lowered her head, touching her belly, "I don’t care, I want to eat hairy crabs."
Her thoughts drifted to the distant past, back when they swam to Zhejiang in China. Sheng Sheng personally caught the hairy crabs, catching many, and the whole night, the two sat around at a fisherman’s house eating them. Those moments were truly joyful, like a long-lost and precious postcard hidden in the deepest corners of her heart.
Sheng Sheng chuckled, "No hairy crabs, but I’ll take you to eat seafood."
Then he restarted the car. Just as they pulled out of the parking lot of the Western restaurant, a call came in. Sheng Sheng glanced at it and directly pressed the hands-free button, then tossed the phone to Maimai.
Maimai played the part of his little helper, "Hello, who is it?"
Qingqing’s distressed voice came through the phone, "Brother Sheng Sheng, I’m already back at the base. Don’t tell my parents, I swear I’m back. If you don’t believe me, I’ll send you a picture on-site."
Maimai heard Qingqing’s distressed tone and instinctively gasped, her eyes bulging as she looked at Sheng Sheng, holding her breath and saying nothing.
As for Sheng Sheng, his voice was extremely cold and somber, sending shivers down one’s spine.
That voice was completely different from the one he usually used when speaking to her, carrying a certain "defy me, and you’re asking for trouble" attitude, saying, "Then stay put at the base."
"You’re not going to tell my parents, right?" Qingqing tried to suppress her temper. In front of Sheng Sheng, she dared not be arrogant; being caught in a trap was a very unpleasant thing, yet she couldn’t explode, only kicking a nearby tree stump repeatedly.
Sheng Sheng simply said, "Depends on your performance!"
Qingqing was super frustrated, gritting her teeth, "Why do you always belittle me? I’m not inferior to the men at the base! Whatever they can do, I can do even better than them."
"So what?" Sheng Sheng said dismissively, "This is my territory. I don’t want women who don’t listen to orders and act on their own."
"You..." Qingqing really wanted to retort, but ultimately held back.
Maimai listened to their conversation, covering her mouth and laughing. It’s rare to hear Qingqing so humbled. Qingqing truly is fearless, yet why does she act like a mouse in front of a cat when facing the turtle egg?
"Then what’s the point of me staying at the base?" Qingqing grumbled in frustration.
"If it’s pointless, you can go home."
"I’m not going home. This is what I love to do. I don’t want to be like those girls, constantly surrounding themselves with makeup, comparing whose lashes are longer. That kind of life is worse than death for me. I like passion, challenges, and life at the base!" Suddenly Qingqing yelled into the phone, "Maimai, are you there too?"
"Ah? I’m here." Maimai thought to herself, ’I’m not a traitor, Qingqing, you better not go back on your word and keep your promise to give me your precious.’
"Since you’re there, why don’t you help me talk to Brother Sheng Sheng? Ask him not to sideline me?" Qingqing spoke candidly.
Maimai blushed at the words, but she wasn’t one to get awkward easily; she had a thick skin, "I’m not his woman, how could I influence him? Besides, girls should like pretty clothes and good makeup. You better be careful or you won’t find a husband in the future, hmph!"
