As Zhu Juntang and Bai Hui began patting Liu Chang'an, Zhang Xinhan came up behind Su Mei and Zhong Qing, just in time to hear Su Mei say with the corner of her lips slightly raised, her tone neither warm nor cold, "Your little cousin really knows how to have fun."
"Liu Chang'an's body is practically one of the world's finest things. It's only natural for a young girl just awakening to love to be unable to resist wanting a taste of it," Zhong Qing said with a smile.
"I saw her with Liu Chang'an at Gao Dewei's house. Back then, she insisted on dancing on that little rocking boat, and sure enough, she fell into the water. Naturally, falling into the water meant getting soaked, and Liu Chang'an pulled her out. Even the way she looked while drowning was just right." The memory remained vivid for Su Mei. Every time she saw Bai Hui, she seemed to recall that scene.
Perhaps it was because, when Su Mei had still been a young lady of the Su Family, she had also fallen into the water at South Plum Garden and caught a chill. Even when he returned from Argentina, she had not recovered, making him dote on her terribly.
Back then, she had calculated the date of his return before choosing the right time to catch a chill at South Plum Garden. She had worried that if she fell into the water too early, she would probably be well by the time he came back.
But if she fell in only a few days before his return, it would seem too deliberate, and he might see through her intentions—that she could hardly wait for him to visit her first thing after disembarking. She had spent quite some time pondering it.
