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
A few days after the party, the school officially entered its semester breaks. Lu Jiaxue pestered Lu Fangliang almost every day to ask about her mother’s whereabouts. He could only comfort his daughter while asking around for help to find Lin Wan.He felt troubled because of this. But another matter also confused him a lot. Zhou Zijian had disappeared too, causing his plan to chase after Lin Wan to come to an end.Two days after the competition, they were still in contact with each other. But after that, he couldn’t be reached anymore. Lu Fangliang found it strange as their plan was progressing smoothly. He even planned to pay Zhou Zijian in advance and strengthen their cooperation even further. However, the man disappeared! What did that mean? Did he not want his money anymore?While he was pondering on the matter, he saw the video as well. It shocked him a lot. He quickly got someone to ask around and found out that Lin Wan had divorce
Lu Fangliang’s mind went blank as he sat down numbly.He hadn't seen Kang for some time as he wasn't able to find him. It wasn’t until he heard that Kang and his family passed away in a fire did he and some of his other friends help out with the funeral.Lu Fangliang only got to his senses after a long time and mumbled, “Is this Kang? Uncle, what happened?”“He was killed and beheaded. They personally sent his head over to me. I’m still keeping this with me, so I could always use it as a warning to the younger generation like you. Be a man of low profile. Otherwise, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later!”“Uncle, what on earth happened?”“You don't need to know anything more about it. That matter has nothing to do with you. All I want you to know is that you and Kang have offended the same person!”These few words scared Lu Fangliang out of his wits! Speechless, his mouth was wide open as he
“You’ve chosen to trust her sophistries again. Aren’t you a little too gullible?”He Xiaoyu said angrily and did not hide her anger and disappointment. She thought that Li Mu would be able to stand his ground this time and leave that flirty woman for good. It was unexpected that he would back out once again.“It's not as simple as you think. I'm scared that…”“What on earth are you scared of?”Li Mu hesitated and refused to speak. He Xiaoyu asked again, “Well! Speak up! What are you afraid of? What is it that’s so hard for you to say?”“I'm scared that your life would be in danger!” Li Mu said after mustering up his courage.He Xiaoyu went silent. He Xiaoyu wasn’t dumb and had picked up quite some hints. Lin Wan and Mrs. Hong were both extremely strong and skilled, which was very suspicious already. On top of that, she had fallen asleep for no reason twice. This was unexplainable either. She had pon
