<h4>Chapter 590: Chapter 589, Lies That Come as Soon as One Opens Their Mouth</h4>


    Hearing her husband’s voice, Liu Shimei suddenly felt as if she were struck by lightning.


    After all, Haicheng had a poption of over two million.


    While not a massive number,


    it was certainly not small either.


    She never dreamed that she would run into her husband while having dinner with Xu Wendong.


    Even though she and Xu Wendong were just friends,


    as a married woman, doing so was indeed somewhat inappropriate.


    Zhang Jin strode forward, his face a bit grim.


    He had called his wife earlier to ask if he should pick her up from the train station, but she refused, saying she had dinner ns with a friend and it would be inconvenient for him toe.


    He thought the friend was a woman but never imagined it would be a young, handsome man.


    This gave him a foreboding feeling.


    Just as Liu Shimei was at a loss,


    Xu Wendong stood up warmly and said with a smile, "You must be my brother-inw, right? Hello, brother-inw, I’m Xu Wendong."


    Zhang Jin frowned slightly.


    He was familiar with his wife’s rtives on her maternal side, and he hadn’t heard of anyone named Xu Wendong.


    Xu Wendong seemed to have discerned what the other was thinking and said with a smile, "My cousin is a high school ssmate of Sister Shimei’s. She was worried about meing to Haicheng and specifically called Sister Shimei to show me around the city."


    Making it up as he goes?


    Liu Shimei was shocked by Xu Wendong’s words, internally eximing, "Good one!"


    She then regained herposure and said with feigned calmness, "Wendong is my high school ssmate Lili’s cousin. If I hadn’t known he wasing to Haicheng, it would have been fine, but since I do, shouldn’t I show some hospitality?"


    Changing the topic, she asked, "Didn’t you say you’d go out with Old Wang and the others to celebrate his promotion? Why are you here?"


    Zhang Jin sighed, "I don’t know what happened. The duck that was in my mouth flew away," he said, sitting at the dining table and asking the waiter for another set of utensils.


    Liu Shimei couldn’t help asking, "What happened? Did Old Wang’s deputy director position fly away?"


    Zhang Jin nodded, "I just got the news earlier. Apparently, Old Wang is very upset now and the original gathering was dissolved. So, I just thought toe here for some dumplings, and who knew I’d run into you two!"


    Liu Shimei felt relieved.


    Zhang Jin looked at Xu Wendong and curiously asked, "Wendong, are you here in Haicheng for work or tourism?"


    Xu Wendong answered, "I’m here for work."


    Zhang Jin nodded slightly, then poured a ss of wine and said, "Since your cousin and Shimei are ssmates, from now on, if you need anything in Haicheng, just find your brother-inw. Since I’m a local here, I might be able to help you a bit."


    "Come."


    "This is our first meeting; let’s drink to that."


    "Thank you, brother-inw!" Xu Wendong said, somewhat awkwardly lifting his ss.


    After a few rounds of drinks,


    Xu Wendong used the excuse of going to the bathroom to pay the bill.


    When Liu Shimei went to settle the bill after they finished eating, she was surprised to find Xu Wendong had already paid, showing an immediately displeased expression, "Wendong, I said I’d treat you. What are you doing?"


    Xu Wendongughed, "It’s just a meal. Does it matter who pays?"


    Liu Shimei shook her head helplessly.


    And so, the three left the dumpling shop.


    Zhang Jin suddenly said, "Wendong, since you just arrived in Haicheng, you probably don’t have a ce to stay yet. Why don’t youe home with us for the night and look for a ce tomorrow," he suggested with a burp.


    Zhang Jin’s alcohol tolerance wasn’t high, usually only up to three bottles of beer, but today he had over five, making his speech a bit slurred.


    Xu Wendong quickly said, "Thank you for the offer, brother-inw, but I can just find a hotel to crash for the night. There’s no need to trouble you."


    Liu Shimei, unconcerned, said, "If you go to a hotel, wouldn’t that be a p in the face to me and your brother-inw? It’s settled; until you find somewhere else, you’ll stay at our house."


    Unable to refuse such a generous offer, Xu Wendong could only agree.


    Afterward, Zhang Jin called a driver to take them back to the civil servant residentialplex with his car.


    The couple’s house had a three-room-one-living-roomyout, covering an area of more than a hundred square meters, and was decorated in warm tones, making it feel very cozy.


    "Wendong, I can’t do it anymore; I’m going to bed. Let Shimei show you around the house!" Zhang Jin, face full of drunkenness, staggered into the master bedroom.


    Liu Shimei shook her head helplessly, "He’s got a low alcohol tolerance yet insists on drinking so much," she said, finding a pair of slippers from the shoe cab and cing them in front of Xu Wendong.


    Then she led Xu Wendong to the second bedroom, "You can stay here for now; the bedding is all new."


    "Thank you, sister," Xu Wendong said sincerely in gratitude.


    "Meeting is fate, so why be so polite? I’ll go take a shower first, and you can batheter!" Liu Shimei gave Xu Wendong a seductive look, then turned and left the second bedroom.


    She didn’t even know why she invited Xu Wendong back home, just having a feeling that with this man around, life would have a sense of anticipation.


    After Liu Shimei left, Xu Wendong opened his suitcase, took out a pair of shorts and a tank top, nning to shower before going to sleep.


    Waiting until he no longer heard water running from the bathroom, he grabbed his change of clothes and went to the living room.


    Since only a few spotlights were on in the living room, the lighting was dim, and the bathroom light was very bright, he could vaguely see Liu Shimei’s curvaceous and sexy figure through the frosted-ss door.


    "This woman, she’s something, but I wonder if she’s smooth," Xu Wendong thought, his mouth dry.


    Momentster,


    wearing ace camisole dress, her cheeks slightly flushed, Liu Shimei came out of the bathroom, her skin smooth as jade, her whole body exuding the charm and allure of a mature woman.


    Because she had just showered, she was practically goingmando, with the faint outlines of her proud curves and those two pink rosebuds subtly visible.


    Seeing Xu Wendong sitting in the living room, she paused, then gave a charming smile, "You can bathe now!"


    "Oh, okay," Xu Wendong withdrew his impolite gaze, awkwardly carrying his change of clothes into the bathroom.


    Liu Shimei chuckled softly, turning off the spotlights to make the living room even dimmer, then sat on the sofa, her gaze fixed towards the bathroom.


    The dimmer the living room lights grew, the more pronounced the figure projected from the bathroom became, resembling, in some ways, a shadow puppet y.


    "Crap, ck thong?"


    Inside the bathroom, as Xu Wendong took off his clothes, he noticed a ck thong hanging inside.


    It deeply stimted him.


    Because he liked thongs like that.


    The reason was simple.


    Even wearing such a thong wouldn’t affect "that" kind of activity between two people!


    He took a deep breath, trying hard to control himself from thinking about that kind of thing.


    But his body responded uncontrobly.


    Raising a proud head.


    And this scene was just witnessed by the outside Liu Shimei, her pupils dted, tingling with fear, as she stared at the bulging, sturdy object. Inside, she couldn’t calm down for a long time: "How could this guy’s assets be so terrifying?"
