Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 737 - 274: Liu Shishi’s Little Secret (2)

"Foot washing? Is he into that sort of thing?"

"Ha, it’s just an old man’s twisted hobby." Liu Shishi couldn’t be bothered to comment.

"Be careful, your man might end up going down the same path. Men are all the same in this regard."

"He won’t!" Yang Mi glanced at the pool not too far away, speaking with great certainty.

"Why?" Liu Shishi was curious about where she got such confidence.

"Because he’s never been to places like that. He finds them too crowded, dirty!"

"Oh, got it, he prefers keeping his treasures hidden away." Liu Shishi felt she had grasped the key point.

Yang Mi didn’t refute this.

Because she knew she was the "treasure hidden away" Liu Shishi referred to.

"Well, at least he’s not playing around, less likely to get sick." Liu Shishi hinted.

Yang Mi got it immediately, quickly asking with gossip, "Did your Mr. Wu go out and catch something dirty?"

"Yeah, it was just a couple of years ago. During that time, I slept apart from him. After he got treated, he didn’t go for foot massages or anything, but turned to fishing instead, never home all day.

I’ve gotten used to this way of interacting, and our feelings for each other have faded during this period."

Liu Shishi narrated calmly, as if the person she was talking about was someone else.

Yang Mi, on the other hand, asked curiously, "Can you... endure it?"

Women in their thirties are like wolves, in their forties like tigers—that’s no joke.

"What else can I do if I can’t endure? Go out and mess around too? Like other celebrity couples, each having their fun?" Liu Shishi quipped.

"Haha... that’s just the trend in the circle, nothing to be done." Yang Mi advised.

"Back when I got married, I really thought I’d met the man of destiny." Liu Shishi said with some self-mockery, not denying she was once a naive romantic.

"I heard back then you fell out with your parents?" Yang Mi asked.

"Yeah, the wedding news was everywhere, saying he looked more like a couple with his mother-in-law, which made my parents furious." Liu Shishi showed a hint of regret.

"I didn’t realize back then that my parents were truly looking out for me, considering my future. Sigh, I was too stubborn, too headstrong to listen to their wise counsel."

"I guess I brought this upon myself."

"You..." Yang Mi didn’t know how to advise her.

With her personality, she would definitely have divorced without hesitation.

When her ex-husband was exposed with a ’glow-in-the-dark script,’ she called him right away to discuss divorce, leaving no room for negotiation.

That’s just how fierce she was.

But this good friend of hers was the complete opposite.

She was referred to as ’as calm as a chrysanthemum.’

Tender and weak, with no courage to resist.

So, she decided not to say any more.

"Let’s go take a shower, we’re all sweaty." Yang Mi pulled her towards the basement bathroom.

The bathroom here was built to gym standards.

Individual stalls that could accommodate fifteen people showering simultaneously.

But, there’s no way to soak in a tub.

After their shower, they realized Liu Shishi hadn’t brought a change of clothes.

Yang Mi slapped her forehead, "I’ll go upstairs and fetch my clothes for you to wear."

She had just left when someone came into the bathroom.

Liu Shishi thought it was Yang Mi, "How did you come back so fast? Pass me the clothes."

A lotus-white arm stretched out.

Sun Dasheng was taken aback, thinking they had finished showering and gone upstairs.

Unexpectedly, someone was still inside.

Being a private place, the bathroom wasn’t divided by gender, it was unisex.

"Mimi, where are the clothes?" Liu Shishi asked.

Seeing that no one responded, she pulled open the curtain slightly, poked her head out and was about to speak, but she was stunned the next second, "Why is it you, where is Mimi?"

Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Sun Dasheng almost burst out laughing and pointed in front of her, "Pull your head back in, everything’s exposed."

Liu Shishi instinctively looked down and saw through a small gap that her body’s ’landscape’ was faintly visible.

"Ah?" She instinctively screamed and then quickly pulled her head back, covering the doorway tightly with the curtain.

"Can you go out for a moment?"

Quite polite indeed.

"Sure, don’t worry, I’m stepping out right away." Sun Dasheng turned around and left.

Once he left, her face was flushed and felt hot.

Was her body just completely seen by him?

She wasn’t the kind of young lady from the feudal era who would insist on marrying anyone who saw her body.

But having that kind of interaction with her good friend’s man at her home gave her a strange feeling.

She knew it wasn’t right, but her body indeed felt a sneaky sense of thrill—like the thrill some men feel when they have affairs?

Isn’t there a saying: ’The wife is not as good as the concubine, the concubine not as exciting as an affair, and an affair not as thrilling as what one can’t have.’

Ambiguity is the most comfortable way for men and women to interact.

It’s really not just some twisted reasoning.

"Shishi, Shishi... are you still in there? Say something, let me hear your voice!"

"Ah, oh, I’m here." Liu Shishi snapped back to reality.

"I called you several times and you didn’t respond, I thought something happened to you in there. You scared me to death."

Then she handed in a set of clothes, "Try this on and see if my size fits you. It should be fine since we’re about the same height and body shape."

"If it doesn’t fit, I’ll have someone buy you a new set from outside."

"No need, it’s great, fits perfectly." Liu Shishi came out wearing Yang Mi’s clothes.

Yang Mi’s eyes gleamed, "Shishi, I didn’t realize—you’ve developed here too?"

"Hey, stop touching!" Liu Shishi dodged continuously.

"Did you deliberately buy a smaller size before?" Yang Mi circled her, puzzled.

"Self-compression?"

"Did I... did I?" Liu Shishi was now uncertain.

Seeing her cute, confused look, Yang Mi understood and confidently said, "You must have experienced a second round of development here since having a child, but you’ve been wearing your old size without noticing. Surely you’ve felt it getting tighter in daily life?"

Yang Mi pointed at her chest.

"Seems like it," Liu Shishi nodded thoughtfully.

"Exactly, when you get home, throw out your old small clothes and buy new ones a size larger."

Before Liu Shishi could refuse, Yang Mi sternly continued, "You can’t keep constricting that area frequently. It’s the most susceptible spot for us women to develop issues. Wearing smaller clothes often can easily lead to problems."

"Really?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Yang Mi pulled out her phone, searched, and showed it to her, "Look, these are statistics from the World Health Organization, pretty authoritative, right? The top malignant tumor for us women is breast cancer, also known as the ’pink killer’. Realized the seriousness now?"

Liu Shishi broke into a cold sweat after reading; Yang Mi wasn’t just trying to scare her. "Thank you, Mimi, I’ll be more mindful of this from now on."

After lunch, Liu Shishi said her goodbyes and left.

Sun Dasheng arranged for a driver to take her, but she politely declined because Wu Qilong was already at the gate of the community.

As for why he didn’t come in, it was because external vehicles were simply not allowed entry; the community’s security was too strict.

"Mimi, what were you two whispering about just now?" Sun Dasheng asked curiously.

They seemed to have endless things to talk about; they hadn’t stopped even while eating, piquing his curiosity.

"Oh, nothing much, just chatting about some women’s health issues. Are you really interested in knowing?" Yang Mi raised an eyebrow at him.

"Ahem... why talk about that out of nowhere?" Sun Dasheng quickly changed the subject, "Well... the company will be quite busy soon, so I won’t have much time to spend with you."

Yang Mi was a bit unhappy but could understand, as he’d already spent a long time with her: "Got it, go ahead and get busy, I’ve got things at home covered."
