97 Almost got caught.

Song Yan licked her swollen lips slightly and winced as pain shot through her, God. This was insane how was she supposed to eat with these? Will she still be able to use her lips after they were being sucked, nibbled and bitten like this? Heck, even when she was trying to touch them she couldn't stop hissing like an angry cat. Each time she sucked in a breath, she cursed Fu Yu Sheng again and again in her head.

That beast, was he trying to kiss her or was he trying to ravage her flesh and suck her soul? She couldn't even eat properly with her lips bitten like this!

Staring at her reflection in the mirror she once again touched her lips and clenched her fists when another wave of pain shot through her. Beast! Jerk! Bastard! Dog in human skin! This was literally too much! She breathed in and out and cursed Fu Yu Sheng again, she should have just slammed the door on his face and kicked him in the gut when he tried to take advantage of her, honestly what was she supposed to do now?

Sneaking inside her room earlier was hard enough, now was she supposed to keep her head bowed throughout the entire lunch? If so then even if her brother wasn't suspicious, he will end up getting suspicious!

" Mommy, what's wrong?" Because it was his summer holidays, Fu Chen was allowed to sleep in a little bit at the Song household, unlike the Fu family where his schedule was fixed beforehand. If they were still at home, Fu Chen would have to take a jog around the house despite what day it was, even if it was Sunday, he would have been dragged out of his bed by the old butler and even though he was allowed to sleep in the old habits that were engraved in his body were hard to break——- thus he woke up before seven.

When he woke up, he blinked and looked around to find his mother and was surprised when he realised that his mother was standing in front of the mirror with a strange expression on her face.

Song Yan literally jumped out of her skin, she hurriedly put her hands down and even though her lips were stinging, she smiled at Fu Chen. "It's nothing baby, why are you up so early? Why not sleep in a little bit more?"

Fu Chen shook his head and raised his arms asking his mother to pick him up silently. Now, that he was up, there was no way for him to fall asleep again and this was another habit that he learned from his time at the Fu mansion. Song Yan knew of his habits and even though she felt that it was such a shame that her son was raised as the second Fu Yu Sheng, all his habits were deeply engraved in her son.

Though it was a good thing that he inherited her cuteness or else what would have happened? She picked Fu Chen up in her arms and nuzzled her nose against his, temporarily forgetting that her lips were swollen.

Fu Chen with his sharp eyes noticed his mother's lips and even though he didn't understand why they were so swollen and red, he still tilted his head and asked, " What's wrong mother, why are your lips so red and puffy?"

Her smile paused as she let out another string of curses in her heart but nonetheless, she didn't let her smile fall and chuckled lightly as if her heart wasn't burning with anger. " Oh, this? Its nothing. It is a new beauty regime that is getting popular on the internet lately. I wanted to try it and that's how my lips got so red, Chen Chen would you like to try it too?"

Fu Chen stared at his mother's lips which were so red that they looked like they were bleeding and shook his head. There was no need for him to follow that kind of beauty regime, it looked so painful!

" Really that's too bad, anyway why don't you go and wash your face? I think we will be having breakfast soon," said Song Yan as she helped Fu Chen down on the ground and hurriedly changed the topic. Once the topic was diverted, Fu Chen forgot all about his mother's lips and rushed out of the room.

Kids were like this, easy to distract but that couldn't be said for the elders. Sitting at the dining table, Song Lingyan kept staring at Song Yan who was trying his best to not wince, curse or do anything that might cause her brother to be suspicious of her but Song Lingyan who was as sharp-eyed as an eagle pursed his lips and suspiciously frowned. " What's wrong with your lips why are they like this?"

Song Yan who was drinking soup almost choked after listening to her brother's question. She swallowed the soup in her mouth with great difficulty and placed the bowl down only then did she clear her throat to answer. "It's nothing, my friend sent me a new DIY trick that has been circulating on the internet these days, it looked pretty good to me, so I tried it. I never thought that it will be a fail like this, it was completely out of my expectations too." Though Song Yan was guilty, she still maintained her lie. There was no way around it, if she were to tell her brother that this happened because a dog name Fu Yu Sheng bit her, he might lose his mind and just go have a one on one fight with Fu Yu Sheng.

Her flippant tone was perfect and Song Lingyan finally dropped the matter as he took a bite of his rice cake. " You should take proper care of yourself. You are already a mother, so how can you be so gullible? You actually followed a DIY beauty hack from Internet? Don't you that most of them are just stupid tricks that are posted to get likes?"

Song Yan sighed inwardly, looks like her lie worked. Since there were a lot of beauty hacks that were getting more and more trendy these days. Her brother and sister in law should have believed her right?
