I keep scrolling through Douyin's treasure chests; they're showing me their loyalty.

Chapter 186 The Plan Failed

As for Zheng Yumeng, upon hearing Ning Xiuyang's words, her face flushed, her eyes flickered, and she did not respond.

Ning Xiuyang smiled and said loudly, "I probably won't be back tonight, so you don't need to wait for me for dinner."

"what?"

Shen Youyou and Zheng Yulu, who were carrying fruit out of the kitchen, were both stunned.

Tang Wei also looked disappointed.

Only Zheng Yumeng, upon hearing these words, had a hint of unspeakable regret flash in her lowered eyes.

"Brother, you're not coming back tonight?"

Zheng Yulu walked over quickly, grabbed Ning Xiuyang's arm, pouted, and her face clearly showed her displeasure.

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

Ning Xiuyang pinched her little face, then turned his gaze to Shen Youyou and Tang Wei, and said with a meaningful smile, "While I'm not here, you three better not bully Mengmeng."

"We don't have any!"

Shen Youyou and Zheng Yulu retorted in unison.

Zheng Yumeng's cheeks flushed again. She lowered her head and whispered, "Brother, be careful on the road."

"understood."

Ning Xiuyang smiled and agreed, picked up his car keys, and turned to leave.

As the security door clicked shut, the atmosphere in the apartment instantly became somewhat awkward.

The four girls looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke.

Zheng Yumeng, in particular, felt her heart pounding and her face burning. She felt both shy from being publicly called out by Ning Xiuyang and a little disappointed at not being able to seize the opportunity.

Zheng Yulu, on the other hand, looked annoyed.

She leaned close to her sister and complained softly in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Oh dear! It's all your fault, sister! You dawdled so long, look, brother isn't coming home tonight, our plans are ruined!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yumeng's face turned even redder, and she felt even more flustered.

plan……

Yes, they did have a plan.

A crazy plan that made her blush and her heart race whenever she thought about it.

After Ning Xiuyang left, the atmosphere in the apartment became somewhat somber.

Shen Youyou and Tang Wei returned to their respective rooms, seemingly still savoring the warmth of Ning Xiuyang's presence.

Only the Zheng sisters remained in the living room.

Zheng Yulu held her sister's hand and sat on the sofa, her face full of disappointment.

"Sis! What are you hesitating about?"

She lowered her voice, but the urgency in her tone was unmistakable.

"Look how good your brother is to you. He puts food on your plate when you eat, and he even told us not to bully you before he left."

"He clearly has feelings for you, so why are you too afraid to confess?"

Zheng Yumeng blushed and felt extremely flustered after being scolded by her sister.

She lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers, and whispered in defense, "Lulu, don't talk nonsense... Brother... he's good to everyone."

"How can that be the same?"

Zheng Yulu rolled her eyes. "The way he treats us is different from how he treats you!"

"Look, Sister Youyou is his woman, even her mother, Aunt Shen... Tang Wei is now his woman too, and you're the only one left!"

"We four sisters are one short, and we're just waiting for you to join! If you keep dragging this out, someone else will snatch our brother away!"

"I……"

Zheng Yumeng was rendered speechless by what she said.

A premature start?

It seems... they've almost run away.

Lulu, Shen Youyou, Tang Wei... one by one...

She felt as if something had ripped her heart out, leaving her feeling suffocated and uncomfortable.

Seeing her sister's distraught state, Zheng Yulu knew the time was right.

She leaned close to her sister's ear and said mysteriously, "Sis, tonight was supposed to be a perfect opportunity, but his sister ruined it."

"What...opportunity?"

Zheng Yumeng asked subconsciously.

A sly yet slightly shy smile appeared on Zheng Yulu's face.

She whispered in her sister's ear in a seductive tone:

My plan is... tonight, the two of us... will switch rooms.

"What?!"

Zheng Yumeng was struck dumb, shoving her sister away and staring at her in disbelief. "Zheng Yulu! You're crazy!"

Her voice was trembling, and her pretty face was so red it looked like it could bleed.

Want to change rooms?

She knew all too well what that meant!

Lulu wanted her to take her place, and then pretend she didn't know anything about it...

"I'm not crazy!"

Zheng Yulu wasn't angry when she was pushed away. Instead, she smiled and clung to her arm, acting coquettishly.

"Sis, think about it. When night falls, I'll have Youyou and Tang Wei tease brother, and then they'll both leave at the same time. When he's in a hurry, he'll only be able to come to my room to find 'me'. We look exactly alike, so as long as I don't say anything and you don't say anything, he definitely won't be able to tell us apart."

"Once the deed is done, you'll be his. Then he won't be able to deny it!"

Zheng Yulu's tone was full of excitement and encouragement.

"This...this won't do!"

"You're shameless!"

Zheng Yumeng shook her head frantically, her heart pounding like a drum, and glared at her younger sister with a mixture of shyness and anger.

Although she had inexplicable feelings for Ning Xiuyang, it was too shameful to use this method.

"Oh dear sister, how can this be called deception? This is called... going with the flow, creating an opportunity!"

Zheng Yulu persisted in her persuasion.

"Think about it, Aunt Shen and Sister Youyou can both do it, so why can't we sisters?"

"We're keeping the good stuff in the family!"

"Once we sisters are both your women, our voices will carry weight in this family! Otherwise, you'll always feel like an outsider, which is so uncomfortable!"

Zheng Yulu's words struck Zheng Yumeng's heart like a hammer.

outsider……

Yes, isn't she an outsider now?

Watching the three of them getting along so well with her brother, she could only sit awkwardly to the side.

"you……"

Zheng Yumeng was both ashamed and angry at her sister's explicit words, and raised her hand to hit her.

Zheng Yulu chuckled and dodged away.

"Sis, don't hesitate! Opportunity waits for no one!"

"Even though my brother isn't coming home tonight, we can save the plans for next time!"

"We'll make our move when he comes back to stay next time! I'll keep watch for you then, to make sure everything goes smoothly!"

Zheng Yulu winked mysteriously, her face full of excitement at "stirring things up".

Seeing her sister's state, Zheng Yumeng felt completely confused.

She didn't argue further, but blushed and fell silent.

In Zheng Yulu's view, this silence was tacit approval.
