Seeing that Lin Wan was on the verge of making a scene, Li Mu hurriedly pulled her away.
Struggling to bring her back, the two of them went back to the bedroom and Li Mu pleaded in a low voice, “Lin Wan, we are divorced after all. And it's too much for us to sleep together last night. If Xiaoyu finds out, she might make a scene. I just went to see if she was awake. It’s nothing more than that.”
“What now? You don't want to take responsibility after making love with me yesterday? Did being with me last night make you feel guilty towards Xiaoyu? Are you regretting it?” Lin Wan asked coldly, her eyes filled with anger.
“Did I say I was not going to take responsibility? You have to give me some time. I just promised Xiaoyu that I’ll marry her and right after that I’m remarrying you. How do you want her to think of me?”
“I don't care what she thinks of you. She shouldn't be pestering a married man anyway. If she hadn't started it
Upon hearing those words, the door to Lin Wan’s room opened as she rushed out of the room. Anxiously, she asked Li Mu, “What happened to Dad?”“He had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital!”Li Mu replied without looking back as he ran out of the door.“Wait for me. I'll go with you!” Lin Wan did not have time to freshen up. She simply changed into a set of clothes, grabbed her purse, and followed along.He Xiaoyu and Mrs. Hong followed along too and the few of them rushed downstairs. Getting in the car, Li Mu turned on the hazard lights and sped towards the hospital.Halfway on the road, Mrs. Hong suddenly said, “By the way, Li Mu, Lin Wan, it's best that you don't let them know about your divorce. I'm worried that…”“Yes. Yes. Honey, we've never divorced. Keep that in mind. And don't let it slip!”“No worries. You’d better tell Xiaoyu not to call herself as your fiancee in front
“You’re in deep trouble!”Zhou Li sounded agitated.“Do you know who Lin Wan is? She is the Miss Lin from the Lin Family in the South Seas! I’m sure you know Mr. Gou. Everyone in your field does! Well, even Mr. Gou doesn’t dare to offend her. Now that you’ve caused her to divorce, how would she let you go just like that? Her people are looking for you everywhere. You'd better run now!”“Has she found you?”“Yes. Mr. Gou is helping her to locate you, too. He found me through Wang Shen and asked me about you. I'm sorry. I didn't dare to offend them and told them everything I knew. Wang Shen was the one who told me about Lin Wan’s true identity.”“It seems like this woman is now with Wang Shen. Wait. That’s not the point. The point is that even Mr. Gou must listen to Lin Wan’s orders. Gosh. Who on earth did I offend?” Zhou Zijian thought.“The Lin Family from the South Seas? What do they do for a livin
He Xiaoyu sat aggrievedly beside Li Mu, tears welling up in her eyes.Li Mu felt bad seeing her cry and comforted her, “Xiaoyu, don't think about it anymore. Let's just leave it for now. Both of us should stop trying to make things worse. At this point, our main focus is to treat my father’s illness. I will look for an opportunity to confess to my parents when he gets better.”“How long would it be?” He Xiaoyu asked uneasily.“Who knows? There's no way to predict the timing of things like this. All we can do is to bring him for check-ups regularly!”“Li Mu, in that case you must promise me to let me be in charge of arranging Dad's check-ups.” He Xiaoyu said in a serious manner.Li Mu frowned and responded unhappily, “Why? Do you think someone would lie to you?”“It’s not that. I just want to do my part and also take the opportunity to get closer with your parents. After all, I am your fiancee. I sho
“What is your relationship with Lin Wan?” Li Mu asked the question he was most concerned about.Cheng Feng choked back a sob and replied, “She was my fiancee!” Li Mu immediately remembered that Lin Wan had run away from an arranged marriage. “The world is so small. He hasn’t found Lin Wan but he runs into me first.” He thought.He Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. She didn’t look at Cheng Feng with anger anymore. Well, she definitely lived up to her name of being an experienced senior sales consultant. She got hold of what she could do next for the major breakthrough.Taking a few steps towards Cheng Feng, she slapped him hard across the face.“You lunatic. Li Mu and Lin Wan are already divorced. Why don’t you find a way to get her back? What’s the point of hitting Li Mu? He doesn't even know anything. What did he do to offend you?”Cheng Feng's jaw dropped and he stared at her blankly, muttering, “Divorced. Divorced?”
After moving out of the way, He Xiaoyu explained, “There are a total of five operating theatres inside. Li Mu should be in the third operating theatre. The lights are still on. So the operation is still going on. Don’t worry. He’ll be out in a while.”Lin Wan did not move anymore as she leaned against the door with her tears flowing uncontrollably. After another forty minutes, she became agitated all of a sudden.Hurriedly, He Xiaoyu who was aside asked, “Are the lights out?”“Yes!”“Don’t stand there. You’re going to block their way!”Lin Wan took a few steps back obediently. After about five minutes, the door to the operating theatre was opened and Li Mu was pushed out on the movable hospital bed.Lin Wan lunged towards him while the nurses stopped her immediately.“You’re his relative, right? Please calm down. You’re not allowed to touch the patient yet. Don’t worry. The operation wa
“There’s something else.”Lin Wan suddenly squirmed and Mrs. Hong couldn’t help but look at her curiously. She muttered to herself, “What's wrong with Miss Lin? Why did she become so shy all of a sudden for no reason?”“Are you up to no good?”“No. Well, yeah. Maybe a little!”Lin Wan bowed her head. It was as if she had wanted to say something but she couldn't do so. Her hesitation made Mrs. Hong anxious.“Hey. Just tell me if you have something to say. Why are you acting like that? Tell me what you need me to do. Don't worry. I can do it for you whether it's good or bad!”She suddenly realised what she said and hurriedly emphasized, “Except for killing Mr. Cheng! We can’t kill him. At least not for now!”“It has nothing to do with him. Can you… Can you lift part of the love spell that I casted on my husband?” Lin Wan's voice got smaller and smaller. And in the end, it became inaudible
Mrs. Hong’s words stunned Li Mu greatly. He looked at the woman in front of him in a daze, not knowing what to say.That made Mrs. Hong chuckle as she continued to say, “There was only one boy from the Lin Family’s lineage for Lin Wan’s generation. Unfortunately, he passed away long ago because of poor health. So you must take over and be the man of the family. You’re not thinking of letting your wife charge into the battlefield while you are sitting back and relaxing, are you?”Li Mu was scared to death and was at the brink of tears. Timidly, he said, “I can’t do it and I don’t know how to do it! I’m serious! Please don’t count on me! Please!”“What don’t you know? You don’t know how to be evil? Or you don’t know how to kill someone?” Mrs. Hong interrogated him.“Neither!” Li Mu answered honestly.“It’s alright. I’m here to teach you all that. You can learn if you don’t know how to do something bad and practice
Li Mu woke up because of his nature’s call. Upon opening his eyes, he found that Mrs. Hong was sitting by his bed as she dozed off. Judging by her expression, she seemed to be exhausted.“Mrs. Hong!”She woke up right away, reaching out to touch his forehead as she said with a smile, “Li Mu, you’re up? You should sleep more. It hadn’t been long since you fell asleep.”“Lin Wan isn’t here yet?”“No. She needs to cook, eat, and chat with your parents at home. She’ll probably take some time.”Li Mu understood what she meant. Although the two elders would fall asleep under hypnotization, they’d become suspicious upon waking up. Lin Wan needed to explain the situation to them first before she could put them to sleep comfortably.“In that case, could you get a caretaker for me?” Li Mu asked with slight embarrassment.Mrs. Hong didn’t understand why he requested for a caretaker, “Where can I f
