Chapter 2041 - 2044: I Think I’ve Offended Maimai
"These two kids are never home. To see them once a year, we have to schedule it. Did Maimai come back with you?
Why haven’t I seen that girl?" Ling Yin asked while walking. As soon as he received Hua Hua’s call, he rushed back,
asked the nanny, and the nanny said she saw only one person. Could it be that Maimai didn’t come back together?
Sheng Sheng: "..."
Sheng Sheng didn’t quite understand Ling Yin’s words, but suddenly felt a growing sense of unease.
As they walked downstairs, Sheng Sheng smiled, "Maimai should still be in class, right? I don’t know if she’s done.
If it’s convenient, I can drive to pick her up."
Ling Yin turned around, looking at Sheng Sheng.
Sheng Sheng felt that Ling Yin’s gaze at him was a bit strange.
He didn’t know what was on his face, so he wiped it and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Didn’t Maimai come back with you?" Ling Yin couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, just felt Sheng Sheng’s words didn’t add up.
Sheng Sheng’s heart started to race, and his left foot suddenly went weak: "I haven’t seen Maimai, but I’d like to pick her up from class. Can I?"
"Class?" Ling Yin’s eyes were full of suspicion.
Sheng Sheng maintained his calm: "Isn’t she attending school?"
"Hasn’t she been with you all the time?" Ling Yin’s question immediately followed Sheng Sheng’s words.
"I haven’t seen Maimai." Sheng Sheng said with increasing unease.
"Haven’t you been together this past year?" Ling Yin frowned slightly, "You kids play around and don’t even keep your phones on, nor do you report to your elders about your whereabouts, especially that girl Maimai, who hasn’t called home all year. If I weren’t sure she was with you, I really would have sent someone to bring her back."
Suddenly, Sheng Sheng stumbled, almost missing a step and falling down the stairs. Luckily, he reacted quickly, grabbing the stair railing to steady himself.
Ling Yin, watching his reaction, frowned even more but said nothing more, going downstairs first and asking the nanny to bring up some snacks.
He sat on the sofa, waiting calmly for Sheng Sheng to adjust his mood, handing him a cup of tea, "Have some tea."
Sheng Sheng said nothing for a long time, descended the stairs, and sat on the sofa, immersed in his bold instincts, teetering on the brink of losing control, until Ling Yin questioned him, he sat with his head in his hands.
Ling Yin crossed his legs elegantly, waiting for a while before asking, "What’s going on?"
Sheng Sheng put down his hands, sat up straight, his expression wanting to cry, "I did something stupid."
Ling Yin didn’t ask what stupid thing he did. Seeing his unpleasant expression, he went over to open a bottle of wine, poured two glasses, and offered one to this young man to calm his nerves.
Sheng Sheng held the wine glass and said, "Thank you."
Then, he tossed his head back and drank it in one gulp, placing the glass down before miserably saying, "I think I offended Maimai."
Ling Yin, thinking something serious had happened, felt relieved after hearing this, and smiled, "Let’s hear it."
"I really offended Maimai," Sheng Sheng confirmed with certainty: "I didn’t know she was Maimai."
"Who?"
"Selena." Sheng Sheng sank into the sofa, "She never said she was Maimai. I didn’t know Selena and Maimai were the same person."
