Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 707 - 708: On the Verge of Death (4)

This feeling made her somewhat uncomfortable. Wan Shi had met numerous people, yet there were very few who could make such an impression at first sight.

Especially considering how young this girl looked.

Feeling her face burn, Wan Shi uncomfortably said, "It’s just..."

"Then let’s begin," Shi Mei glanced at her phone screen, "We agreed on two o’clock, and now it’s already half past two. The half hour delay is all because you didn’t make things clear, and we won’t be refunding you for this half hour’s cost."

The pace of her speech was neither slow nor hurried, but it was precisely this composure that made Ma Jiaojiao feel all the more familiar.

And the others sensed the natural aura of leadership emanating from her, unconsciously turning to look at her, involuntarily ready to follow her lead.

Someone in the back, upon hearing this, spoke out, "It’s not entirely our fault, you played a part in this too."

Shi Mei glanced at the speaker, somewhat surprised.

Good, another familiar face.

Back when they were filming the competition in the backcountry, this person had sneaked into her room in the middle of the night. At that time, she had been wearing a mask and makeup, and had scared this person into fainting.

Her name seemed to be... Yu Qin?

"Yu Qin, let it go," Ma Jiaojiao interjected, "We’re not worried about such a small sum of money."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a ringtone sounded in the dance studio.

It came from the phone in Shi Mei’s hand.

Everyone looked over.

"Since that’s the case, go get changed quickly," Shi Mei said calmly, gesturing with her hand, "Otherwise, you’ll only be wasting more of your own time. Cheng Yan, take them to get the outfits we prepared."

Cheng Yan was Wang Lu’s close friend, but at this moment she also knew to present a united front. Upon hearing Shi Mei’s words, she nodded and led them to the changing room.

Only then did Shi Mei pick up the phone, her tone casual as she spoke, "Hello?"

"Mhm," Shi Lingyan responded, "Why did it take you so long to answer?"

"I’m busy. A few people have come, I’m preparing to teach them to dance for a few days."

Shi Lingyan hmm’d lightly, "Too busy with others, making your man wait for ages."

Shi Mei smiled playfully, "What’s the hurry, you called after not even two minutes, like you’re checking in."

"A fiancée as pretty as you deserves to be checked on."

"Stop it, I have to get busy now."

"Wait a minute."

"Hmm?"

Shi Lingyan’s voice carried a slight chuckle, laced with a bit of anticipation, "Didn’t you say you would call me something sweet? You haven’t done that yet."

"Where is there anything sweet to call you, I don’t know," Shi Mei, aware of the surrounding eyes on her, slightly reined in her about-to-spill-over smile and spoke softly, "What do you want to hear?"

"I don’t know," Shi Lingyan teased, "I’ve never been called anything sweet, so I don’t know what I want to hear. How about you try calling me a few things to see?"

Shi Mei’s smile deepened by several shades.

But suddenly turning around, she caught Wang Lu’s curious look. Clearing her throat, she said, "If you’re going to be like this, I’ll just hang up."

"Wait, you call me something sweet, and then I’ll tell you some good news."

Good news?

Shi Mei’s eyes lit up, "What good news?"

"What are you calling me?"

"Ah Ling~" Shi Mei’s voice softened by several degrees, but noticing the glances around her, she kept her voice very low, "So, what’s the good news?"
