Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 577 - 596 Collective Criticism of Shen Mengqi

The busy person in the kitchen didn’t immediately answer the question from outside, but waited until they finished cutting the strips of meat. Only then did they respond to the query from outside: "Nannan didn’t eat much tonight, and she hasn’t had much of an appetite lately. I’m making her a light dish of meat and vegetable noodles."

Shen Mengqi outside the door was moved to tears by this statement and quickly stood up to approach the kitchen doorway: "Young Master Lin, you’re definitely one of the last good men left in the world. Now, I can definitely trust An Nan in your care."

Facing Shen Mengqi’s easy betrayal, a few men behind her simultaneously rolled their eyes in resignation, silently grumbling in their hearts that nowadays, it seems a man’s worth is judged by whether he can cook.

At the same time, they thought of their own inability to cook and all four men’s handsome faces twisted in unison, each heart filled with questions. Is it true that they can’t get a wife because they can’t cook?

Perhaps feeling too much disappointment in their hearts, the four men stood up ready to take their leave, not forgetting to drag the reluctant Shen Mengqi away with them.

Downstairs at the Champs Elysees, in Rocky’s room.

The four men surrounded Shen Mengqi and began to criticize her: "You little rascal, what did we say when we first went in, how could you betray so easily? Where’s your spirit, where’s your dignity as a police officer, you’re simply an embarrassment to us!"

After Rocky’s criticisms, Ying Chen followed suit: "Exactly, exactly, it’s just a bowl of noodles that you didn’t even get to eat, and you betrayed us, it’s so shameful."

Jiang Yu Kai simply gave her a disdainful look, his voice full of weakness: "Miss Shen, shouldn’t we start calling you Miss Narrow-minded from now on? A man goes into the kitchen and you let him win you over, how embarrassing."

With continuous criticism, Shen Mengqi looked aggrieved, finally setting her sights on the only one not speaking, Ouyang Lei, as if accusing him: "Go ahead and criticize me, hurry up, hurry up."

Yet Ouyang Lei did not grant her wish, only smiling indifferently, as if speaking to himself: "Having someone like that to protect her, Nannan’s future should be happy, so now I’m at ease."

For some reason, after hearing his murmured words, Shen Mengqi suddenly became furious. She felt a surge of intense fire within her that she couldn’t express, and at the same time, her expression turned icy as she stared stupefied at someone, one word at a time: "Ouyang Lei, what is this supposed to mean? What is the point of this kind of blessing from you? You obviously like An Nan, why do you never speak, never fight for it? Are you planning to regret this for the rest of your life?"

Her shouting took everyone by surprise, and the room instantly became silent and suffocating, with several disapproving voices speaking simultaneously.

"Meng Qi, that’s no way to talk," Rocky’s voice had a touch of seriousness.

Jiang Yu Kai also put away his usual playful demeanor: "Shen Mengqi."

Even the most childish, Ying Chen, now wore an uncharacteristic seriousness: "Mengqi, don’t say that."

Shen Mengqi stood there, as if she didn’t hear any of them, her gaze icy and furious at the man in front of her whose face was gradually turning pale as she continued her accusations one word at a time: "Ouyang Lei, you’re just a coward. You obviously like An Nan, but you never dare to say it."
