“Sir, every item in our bar is clearly priced. Please don’t say such things.” The waiter continued to smile, “Sir, if you can’t pay for the drinks, then I’ll have to call the police.”

His voice was a bit loud, immediately attracting the attention of people near the bar, who all turned to look over.

Mei Cheng couldn’t afford to lose face here. He directly called Feng Wei, asking her to transfer some money over.

After paying the bill, his attitude immediately became arrogant, “Do you really need to call the police over this little money? Damn, lousy place, I won’t come here again.”

The waiter accepted the money and still smiled, “Have a good day, sir.”

Half an hour later, Mei Cheng finally arrived home.

Feng Wei heard the movement and immediately sat up straight, even taking a moment to tidy her somewhat loose hairstyle in the mirror. When she saw Mei Cheng, she twisted her slender waist and buried herself in his arms, softly saying, “Darling, I’ve been waiting for you for so long. Why did you take so long to come back?”

“The company had some issues.” Mei Cheng’s attitude was very cold, but the strong smell of alcohol on him couldn’t be ignored.

Feng Wei pursed her lips, stepping away from him and picking up the honey water already prepared on the table, offering it to him, “Darling, have some of this first, then we can go to the dining room for dinner.”

As she spoke, her eyes glanced somewhat uncertainly in the direction of the dining room.

Mei Cheng certainly noticed her gaze.

Following her line of sight, he couldn’t help but smirk cynically.

He downed the drink in one go, then pulled Feng Wei who was only wearing a gauze dress into his arms, whispering, “Didn’t you say you had a gift for me? Is it yourself?”

His words became more and more suggestive, and his large hands began to untie the loose belt around her waist.

The gauze was incredibly smooth, and without the constraint of the belt around her waist, it quickly fell to the ground.

The silk nightgown underneath perfectly accentuated the curves of her body.

Mei Cheng poised himself to kiss her rising and falling chest.

Feng Wei hurriedly pushed him away, meeting his eyes filled with displeasure. She quickly grabbed the black box on the table, shyly saying, “Darling, this is the gift, the one you’ve always wanted to buy! Does it look good on you?”

Upon hearing this, Mei Cheng opened the lid with suspicion. After seeing the crystal clear thumb ring lying inside, he immediately became furious, “Where did you get the money to buy this?”

Feng Wei didn’t expect to only receive her husband’s interrogation. She quickly explained, “This is money I’ve saved up usually. I didn’t use any of your money!”

Mei Cheng’s anger subsided, replaced by excitement in his eyes, “How much money do you have left?”

Feng Wei hesitated, “None, I’ve spent it all on this gift. Darling, don’t you like it?”

Mei Cheng didn’t say another word. He took the thumb ring out and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he turned and walked out, “I really love it. I’m going to find a good buyer for it now!”

“Honey! This is the anniversary gift I gave you. Are you really going to sell it?” Feng Wei understood Mei Cheng well. Even if she was foolish, she realized something was wrong with her husband at this moment. She hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, “Is something wrong with the company?”

Mei Cheng, for the sake of the thumb ring, stopped in his tracks, held her in his arms, and soothed her, “Don’t guess randomly. I’ve been planning to expand the company lately. The working capital isn’t enough, so I used this thumb ring to cover it.”

“But, if the working capital is insufficient, can’t we just borrow from the bank?” Feng Wei asked puzzledly.

However, she didn’t know that her casual question happened to touch the nerve in Mei Cheng’s heart.

The fluctuations in their company’s stock price were too severe this time, and the bank reacted quickly, sending someone to investigate this afternoon and demanding a higher amount of loan collateral.

Where could he get money now?

As a result, his bank cards were frozen.

Those employees, who usually treated him with respect, were now eager to push him into the abyss, draining the last bit of money from him. That’s why he couldn’t even afford a drink at the bar earlier.

Feng Wei’s question completely hurt his male pride, and the pleased expression he had just now disappeared completely from his face.

He pushed Feng Wei away, his expression fierce and impatient, “Things that shouldn’t concern you, you shouldn’t meddle in. I’m already generous enough to feed you. Do you dare to interfere in my business?”

Feng Wei, pushed by him, accidentally lost her balance and fell to the ground. She couldn’t help but shed tears, “Darling, I’m just concerned. We’ve been married for many years. Even if I have no credit, I still put in the effort, right?”

Her tears only made Mei Cheng more impatient. Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden knocking on the door from outside.

Feng Wei was startled, her eyes still filled with tears as she instinctively looked in that direction.

Mei Cheng ignored her, pushing her aside to go open the door himself.

Standing outside was a man in a suit, with a sturdy physique.

“Mr. Mei, I didn’t expect you to be home. I’ve come to see your wife. You see, she just borrowed five million from us.. Since we’re all old friends, I’ve transferred the money to her first, but you still need to sign the IOU, right?”
