“Exactly. How about doing something more exciting?” Song Xinyu laughed at them, letting out a light “pfft” sound.
Song Xinyan counted on her fingers and felt that the timing was right.
However, this time, she did not intend to make a move herself.
Instead, she waited for Ji Mu to go and find the person.
Then he would discover an unsightly scene of Song Xinyu.
She waited quietly, anticipating the show.
Ji Mu, however, hesitated. His eyelids kept twitching.
He felt that something unexpected would happen.
So he paced back and forth, deep in thought.
Song Xinyu! Song Xinyu! Song Xinyu!
Why could he hear her thoughts!
Why could she predict future events?
She even shamelessly called him a lapdog!
Forget it. He would see how things unfolded.
He pinched himself, forcing himself to calm down.
Then he headed toward the dressing room.
Lin Ting finished speaking with Lin Ting and Mr. Ji and came out.
Along the way, he encountered several people from the business circle, who enthusiastically engaged him in conversation. Their words were so dense that he could not refuse.
This was exactly why he disliked attending such banquets—he would always get entangled with irrelevant people.
Finally, after dealing with them, he walked out and wanted to find Song Xinyu. However, after looking around, he could not find her anywhere.
Assistant Xi replied: “Miss Song’s dress was stained by a cake, so she went to the dressing room to change. It was inconvenient for me to follow her.”
He glanced at his watch. “But Miss Song has already been gone for more than half an hour.”
His tone carried concern, yet he still sought Lin Ting’s instruction.
Lin Ting asked: “Where is the dressing room?”
Assistant Xi pointed toward the direction not far away where Ji Mu had gone. “It seems Young Master Ji could not wait either and went to find Miss Song. President Lin, would you like to go as well?”
Ji Mu had arrived but did not rush in. Instead, he stood at the doorway, secretly listening.
The sounds inside rose and fell in waves.
It made one’s imagination run wild.
It made one’s face flush and heartbeat quicken.
Even he could not help but feel his ears turning red.
Song Xinyu! Don’t blame me.
If you must blame someone, blame yourself for bringing this upon yourself.
Who told you to shamelessly steal your sister’s man?
Since you liked climbing into beds so much, I will make sure you fall hard this time.
I will give you three handsome men so you can enjoy yourself thoroughly at once.
Let’s see whether Lin Ting will still want you after this.
With such dirty behavior, Lin Ting would certainly not be foolish enough to take in someone like you.
Ji Mu thought this as he raised his head—and saw Lin Ting walking toward this place as well.
Perfect!
Let Lin Ting see that Song Xinyu could climb into his bed, and also into other men’s beds.
The more Ji Mu thought about it, the more excited he became.
He even started looking forward to it.
So he put on a troubled expression and blocked the way in front of Lin Ting.
“Are you looking for Song Xinyu?”
“Is she inside?” Lin Ting had no patience for nonsense.
His brows furrowed. He clearly disliked being stopped at the doorway.
Ji Mu acted the part thoroughly, looking extremely troubled and even sweating slightly. “I suggest… you don’t look for her.”
“Why?” Lin Ting’s voice turned colder.
Could something have happened to Song Xinyu again?
“Move aside.” Lin Ting carried an overwhelming pressure of authority.
Ji Mu sneered inwardly. Lin Ting always acted so superior—once he saw his fiancée entangled with other men, would he still maintain that lofty attitude?
Outwardly, Ji Mu still blocked the entrance. “Lin Ting, Song Xinyu is inside, but I advise you not to go in.”
He maintained a “I am very conflicted, but I am doing this for your own good” expression.
This only angered Lin Ting further. “Move!”
At that moment, a suggestive “Ah~” came from inside the room.
It was clearly heard through the door.
Both Ji Mu and Lin Ting heard it.
The expressions on their faces became… quite fascinating.
Those who understood, understood.
Seeing that Lin Ting had heard it, Ji Mu stopped pretending and stepped aside, gesturing as if inviting him in.
Lin Ting pushed the door open.
Inside was pitch black.
But the lingering ambiguous atmosphere was nauseating.
The sounds inside had not stopped—in fact, they had intensified.
They were completely lost in the moment and had not even noticed the door opening.
Ji Mu leaned against the doorframe. He did not even need to enter to know how spectacular it would be once the lights were on.
However, both he and Lin Ting tacitly chose not to speak or turn on the lights.
Ji Mu thought Lin Ting was afraid.
So he waited for Lin Ting to do it.
During those tens of seconds, the words coming from inside were extremely provocative:
“Be more fierce…”
“Do you like it, brother?”
“Brother, isn’t it great?”
The vulgar teasing was enough to make one feel ashamed just hearing it.
Ji Mu smiled. He believed Lin Ting’s noble dignity would completely collapse tonight.
Since Lin Ting did not dare to turn on the light,
he would do it for him.
The lights suddenly turned on.
The movements inside immediately stopped.
“Damn it!”
Five men. Ten eyes met.
They stared at each other in silence…
Lin Ting looked at Ji Mu coldly. “Where is Song Xinyu?”
Ji Mu almost screamed internally. How would I know!
Immediately after, a scream sounded.
Song Xinyan covered her face and turned away, acting shocked. “Who is inside?”
She had already begun her performance. She only saw bare male figures inside.
Her lips curled into a satisfied smile before disappearing instantly.
Ji Mu quickly stepped in front of her, blocking her view. “Don’t look. It will dirty your eyes.”
He never expected three men to be involved like this.
But there was not a single woman.
Where was Song Xinyu?
He looked around frantically.
Then he saw Song Xinyu slowly walking over, linking arms with Madam Ji. The two were chatting happily.
Noticing Ji Mu’s gaze, she glanced back.
She sent a challenging look. Fool. Did you really think I would fall for your trap?
On the other side, Lin Ting looked at the chaotic scene of the three men inside and simply said: “Disgusting.” Then he walked out and closed the door.
He looked toward Song Xinyu standing on the steps not far away.
When had she become so close with Madam Ji?
Seeing Ji Mu and Song Xinyan’s clumsy acting, Lin Ting immediately understood—they had colluded to frame Song Xinyu.
He felt some concern, but not much.
He knew that Song Xinyu’s “return” this time meant she must have been fully prepared.
Just like how she could beat four men into pig heads on her own.
With that level of strength, what was there to worry about?
And indeed, when he saw her standing safely beside Madam Ji, he could not help but smile.
Song Xinyu was indeed fine.
Ji Mu instinctively asked: “Song Xinyu, why are you with my mother?”
“Weren’t you supposed to be in the dressing room?”
Song Xinyu smiled lightly. “Oh? Young Master Ji, did you want me to be in the dressing room?”
“By the way, what did you all see in there just now? Why did my sister scream?”
She asked knowingly.
Song Xinyan fell silent.
She had originally planned to escalate things and expose Song Xinyu’s supposed scandal with three men.
But in the end, there were only three men—no woman.
Song Xinyu had escaped their control.
Song Xinyan felt unwilling, but she could only say: “Nothing.”
Lin Ting added: “Probably something unclean.”
“Unclean?” Song Xinyu said innocently. “How could there be something unclean in a dressing room? Someone should clean it quickly then.”
She even pretended to call for staff as if being helpful.
Madam Ji, perceptive as ever, immediately sensed something was wrong. She said sternly: “What exactly is in there?”
This concerned the Ji Family’s reputation.
She quickly walked down to investigate.
Song Xinyu followed behind.
Ji Mu tried to stop her. “Mom, there’s nothing to see… just dirty stuff…”
But Madam Ji became more suspicious, glancing at her son, then at Song Xinyan, then at Song Xinyu, and finally at Lin Ting.
Seeing there was no way out, Ji Mu leaned into his mother’s ear and explained the truth.
Madam Ji’s expression changed instantly. “Nonsense!”
At that moment, the birthday host was also standing at the dressing room entrance, surrounded by important guests, drawing a crowd of onlookers.
Soon after, the door opened.
Three disheveled men walked out from inside.
