Ou Ming thought the same way. Shen Zhilie wants to come along?

He would much rather they find their own way with a map, but breakfast still had to be eaten.

"Let's finish our breakfast first. There's not much we can do if we happen to meet him." Yu Lili nodded in assent and took her bowl of porridge from the maid. She took a mouthful and said, "It's hot…"

"Be careful. Eat it slowly." Ou Ming took the bowl from her and passed her a paper napkin.

Yu Lili agreed, but didn't exactly slow down with her next few mouthfuls. When she was halfway through her bowl, the sound of stilettos was suddenly heard.

Shen Manting appeared. Her face was elegantly made-up, and she was clad in the latest spring wear from various luxury brands. Her pink skirt fitted her to perfection and outlined her beautiful figure very well. The silk scarf around her neck was especially tasteful.

Shen Manting's eyes darkened when she saw Ou Ming. As she turned her head and came face to face with Yu Lili, the expression on her face didn't change at all.

Yu Lili looked at Shen Manting and quickly moved her eyes off. Her line of sight landed on the silk scarf. She quickly looked down and continued with her porridge.

Shen Manting washed her hands and headed to the dining table. She picked a bun from the communal dish and began to eat.

Throughout the entire time, she greeted neither Ou Ming nor his wife and treated them as if they were invisible.

Yu Lili finished her bowl of millet porridge and tugged on Ou Ming's sleeve. She said, "Hubby, let's go."

Hubby… Shen Manting paused in her actions when she heard how Yu Lili addressed Ou Ming. Just as quickly, she regained her composure and resumed what she was doing.

Ou Ming was conscious of the imperceptible change in Shen Manting and knew exactly what Yu Lili was doing. He still played along with her and replied, "Yeah, sure."

When the husband and wife were finally out of the house, Yu Lili released a sigh of relief. "That was so awkward. Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have listened to Granny and stayed here. I dislike every single person living here."

She was referring to Shen Manting, and even more so to Shen Luo'an.

As luck had it, Shen Zhilie did not reside there. What she was truly thankful about was the fact that Shen Longyue and his wife had gone on a vacation and weren't in the Capital. Otherwise, the situation would have been even more awkward.

Ou Ming's eyes were affectionate as he asked, "Are you full yet?"

"No…" Yu Lili rubbed her tummy and smacked her lips. "Let's get something else to eat. The millet porridge was tasteless."

Ou Ming wanted to laugh as he exclaimed, "Why didn't you add some condiments to it?"

"The condiments weren't to my liking either. I feel like having some pancakes. Let's go! I know of a stall nearby that has really good pancakes. I'll take you there!" Yu Lili pulled Ou Ming by his arm in excitement. Soon enough, she thought of something and said, "I'd better let Shen Zhilie know that he doesn't need to come over to be our tour guide… Oh, Shen Zhilie sent me a message."

Shen Zhilie had sent her a message 10 minutes before: [The hospital is busy today. I can't leave. Have fun on your own! I'll take you guys out in the evening!]

Yu Lili was relieved when she read the message and said, "That's great! Let's go. We're on our own!"

Excitedly, she pulled Ou Ming along as she ran off. She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she suddenly felt as if someone was looking at them from behind. She turned to look and saw Shen Manting standing at the door, staring at them unblinkingly.

For some reason, the hairs on the back of Yu Lili's neck began to stand. An uncomfortable feeling consumed her as goosebumps appeared on her skin.

Shen Manting was just as weird as Shen Luo'an.
