Hearing her words, Liu Ergou rolled his eyes but didn't say anything more. He simply drained the cup of water in one gulp, then stood up and turned to leave.
Feng Chunling, watching from the side, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from her forehead as Liu Ergou left. That was close. Thankfully, Yang Mei had gone straight to the kitchen for water when she got back. Otherwise, she would have definitely seen Liu Ergou getting dressed, and all hell would have broken loose.
Just as Liu Ergou's foot crossed the threshold, Yang Mei suddenly clutched her stomach, her face contorting in pain. "Oh, Mom, my stomach hurts so much!" Even as she spoke, she collapsed onto the sofa, clutching her abdomen.
