You Want to Be a Disobedient Little Dog Too
In the end, Lin Meng sent in her leave request before Liu Yun called her. She was already at the hospital anyway, so taking the time off was convenient.
Liu Yun saw how sick she was—barely able to get out of bed—and approved the leave right away, telling her to rest until she was fully recovered before coming back to work.
For the first time in a long while, Lin Meng felt her boss had a human side.
The VIP ward service at the private hospital really was excellent. During her stay, her days were nothing but eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. She was pretty sure she'd been fine after two days, but under the "supervision" of both Yun Huaizhu and Su Yutang, she ended up staying the full week.
Even now, Lin Meng still felt like she was dreaming. She'd only gotten sick once, and somehow she'd ended up with the contact info of both members of that couple. She had to remember—in this world, she was just a bottom-rung office worker. Getting to meet either of them on an ordinary day was about as hard as reaching the sky.
Su Yutang had been suspicious about how Lin Meng knew her identity, but she hadn't done anything about it afterward.
……
Once Lin Meng recovered, she went back to her same old work-and-home routine. But now she had one more thing she absolutely had to do every day.
After she was discharged, just as Su Yutang had demanded, she had to start every day by expanding her vocabulary, then send Su Yutang "heartfelt" praise.
Lin Meng's praise included—but was not limited to—Su Yutang's well-deserved beauty, her flawless figure, and highly embellished, occasionally fabricated tributes to her noble character.
The current Lin Meng was practically the most loyal lapdog at the emperor's side. Su Yutang only had to say one thing, and Lin Meng would praise her three times over. Even the pickiest, most caustic AI couldn't have found a single fault.
Su Yutang was very pleased with Lin Meng's compliments. As time went on, she even began sparing a few extra words for this person, as if she were granting alms.
It had actually been a long time since Lin Meng had read that novel. Now she only remembered the major plot points; as for the minor details of how Su Yutang treated Yun Huaizhu, she couldn't recall them no matter how hard she tried.
Her daily messages with Su Yutang were also a good way to probe whether Su Yutang had done anything excessive to Yun Huaizhu. The moment she sensed any sign of it, she would find a way to stop it.
But after more than a month of chatting online, Su Yutang really didn't seem to have done anything to Yun Huaizhu. She rarely even mentioned Yun Huaizhu, as if Yun Huaizhu were some insignificant person.
And Lin Meng could tell: Su Yutang really didn't like Yun Huaizhu. Every time Lin Meng steered the conversation toward Yun Huaizhu, Su Yutang would be dissatisfied with her praise and make her send a dozen more messages.
Every time Lin Meng thought about how Su Yutang still hadn't changed, she couldn't help but sigh… Su Yutang's wife-chasing journey still had no end in sight.
Although Lin Meng could use her chats with Su Yutang to gauge her current attitude toward Yun Huaizhu, she couldn't stop the important plot points from arriving. She remembered that before long, the story would reach the part where Su Yutang was drugged at a banquet, and an irrational Su Yutang would force herself on Yun Huaizhu, even biting through Yun Huaizhu's gland.
Afterward, Su Yutang showed no pity for the battered Yun Huaizhu. Instead, she furiously cursed Yun Huaizhu for being shameless, accusing her of using such a scheme to plot against her.
Lin Meng had only met Su Yutang once in real life. In her memory, Su Yutang's eyes had been sharp and shrewd; she hadn't looked like a "genius" at all. But in that part of the novel, Su Yutang's IQ seemed to have been forcibly taken offline.
Su Yutang didn't even bother to investigate before dumping all the blame on Yun Huaizhu. Poor Yun Huaizhu was left physically and emotionally tormented, just like that.
So she had to stop this plot point from happening and clear up Su Yutang's misunderstanding about Yun Huaizhu!
……
At six-thirty in the evening, Lin Meng returned to her tiny rented apartment carrying takeout fried chicken and rice cakes, along with two cans of cola. When she sat down at the folding table and picked out a movie to watch while eating, her phone suddenly buzzed with a notification.
Scum Gong Su: [Why didn't you greet me this morning?]
Attached to the message was a sticker that read "You want to be a disobedient little dog too?"
Over the course of chatting with Su Yutang, Lin Meng had discovered that Su Yutang didn't actually dislike her that much. She would even send a few cute dog stickers.
Seeing this, Lin Meng put on one glove and typed her reply with her free hand: [Oh, oh, sorry, sorry! I woke up ten minutes late today and was almost late for work, so I forgot. How about I wish you a good evening right now? Your beautiful face is like the brightest pearl in the night—so dazzling I don't dare look directly at it.]
Scum Gong Su: [Work, work, work. What's the use of going to that shitty job every day? The pay is pitifully low. How about you come work for me? I'll definitely offer you a salary you're satisfied with.]
Lin Meng treated this as a joke: [My work experience is lacking and my abilities aren't up to par. I couldn't possibly take a position at a big company like yours. Would Your Majesty spare little Linzi?]
After reading that, Su Yutang immediately sent her a comforting sticker of a hand patting a dog's head.
Lin Meng could tell Su Yutang wasn't angry at all, so she tried probing from another angle: [By the way, has Zhuzhu been to your place recently? How many words did you say to her? Did you do anything with her?]
Meanwhile, far away on the twenty-third floor of a large flat in the city center, Su Yutang—soaking in a milk bath and sipping red wine—wore a smug smile.
Recently, every time this person mentioned Yun Huaizhu, she said things like this, as if warning her husband out in the world not to fool around with other women. It was really too cute.
Although Su Yutang was in a great mood, she still sent back a slightly displeased reply: [How many times have I told you? Don't mention irrelevant people when you're chatting with me.]
Seeing this message, Lin Meng hurriedly sent a sticker of someone kneeling and apologizing.
When Su Yutang saw Lin Meng's reply, she couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
Lin Meng had never imagined that an overbearing CEO who could torment her own wife to death would be so easy to appease. Maybe in this novel's world, she only tormented her own wife…
But since Lin Meng was here now, there would be no tormenting. A couple should just stay in bed together for three days and three nights without getting up!
