Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 708 - 709: On the Verge of Death (5)

"The voice is too soft, I can’t hear~"

Shi Mei gritted her teeth, turned to glance at Wang Lu, who was still looking at her, and raised her voice slightly, bringing the microphone closer as she cooed, "Ah Ling~"

"So it sounds good just like that?" Shi Lingyan clicked his tongue lightly, "Not pleasant enough, try another one."

Shi Mei, gritting her teeth again and unable to restrain herself, raised her voice, "Shi Lingyan!"

Her voice carried a hint of angry warning.

Shi Lingyan seemed to see her expression at that moment.

Tightly clenched teeth, glaring ahead, but with an air of helplessness.

Thinking of her appearance, Shi Lingyan laughed softly, deliberately taunting, "Even worse now."

Shi Mei, her teeth clenched, asked, "Then what do you want to hear?"

"I don’t know~" Shi Lingyan leaned back in his chair, looking content, his gaze falling upon a photo on the table; his eyes curved in a smile as he spoke softly, "Is there nothing else that sounds nice to call out?"

Shi Mei finally caught on.

This guy, he probably wanted her to call out those two words, right?

With a light snort, she said, "Why don’t you give me a hint?"

"How do you want me to remind you?" Shi Lingyan’s voice was low, as if right beside her ear; then he kissed the microphone, "Like this?"

Shi Mei’s entire body went weak, as if he were right there with her, her heart filled as if infused with honey, biting her lower lip, she couldn’t help but lift the corners of her lips and said, "Hubby?"

Hubby.

The two words she hadn’t heard in so long, three to four years since she last heard them, and now as they were uttered once more, Shi Lingyan’s heart suddenly warmed.

Shi Mei waited two seconds, no sound came from the other end, but instead, a complaint came from behind her, "This outfit is so tight, it’s really awkward..."

Hearing that, Shi Mei turned to look.

Just as she was about to speak, Shi Lingyan’s voice came through the phone, "You go ahead and get busy."

Shi Mei: "???"

That’s it?

She had called him hubby, and this was his response?

Shi Mei hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat angry, "Just like that?"

"Be a good girl, go on," Shi Lingyan’s words carried a hint of coaxing, then, he actually hung up the phone... hung up?

Dongfang Xuyan had finished his call too, seeing her standing there with her phone, her expression like someone who had been bullied, he teased, "What’s wrong, did you have a fight with your Mr. Shi?"

Shi Mei chuckled vexedly, "Who fought with him? It’s so nonsensical!"

Better than fighting anyway!

She calls him hubby, and he tells her to get busy?

Doesn’t he even know how to reply to his wife?

Not a bit of good news shared, isn’t this just hooliganism!

The more Shi Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. Holding the phone, she walked over to the side and upon seeing the people coming out in their outfits, she announced, "Ten people, two in a group, let’s draw lots."

She brought out the already-prepared drawing container, "Red is for me, blue is for Dongfang, black is for Cheng Yan, yellow is for Xu Zhan, orange is for Wang Lu."

The others were still complaining about their outfits: "This color is really ugly."

"This is too uncomfortable to wear, it’s suffocating the chest, it’s so tight."

"It’s even wedging up too..."

Seeing that they had no intention of stepping forward to draw lots, Shi Mei grew impatient, "If you don’t take off your underwear and stuff so many layers of sponge, who else is going to feel tight? The one with the wedgie, those are normal trousers, not high-waisted. If you don’t like the clothes we chose, go and custom-make your own. Now come and draw lots. Everyone’s time is valuable; we don’t have time for you to throw princess tantrums."

Dongfang Ren had been putting up with them for a long time; hearing this, he gave Shi Mei a thumbs up.
