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
“Alright, I can teach you. I’ll teach you ninety percent of the Kung Fu skills I know. Don’t worry. It’s totally free of charge!”“Why ninety percent? Why are you hiding the rest of it from me? We’re married. How could you be that stingy to me?”“Wait. How forgetful are you? Don’t you remember that we’ve divorced because you asked to? I’m your ex-wife. How are we married in any way?”Lin Wan’s mocking embarrassed Li Mu so much that he could only argue irrationally. “Even if we’re not husband and wife, we’re still good friends, right? And you shouldn’t hide things from your friends. Teach me everything!”“Impossible!” Lin Wan rejected him without hesitation, “The ten percent left is for backup. I can’t teach it to you!”“Backup? What do you want to do?”“To beat you up! If you disobey me in the future, I’ll beat the crap out of you! If I teach you everything I know, I’m worried I can’t defeat you any
“Honey, don’t throw a tantrum. I was wrong about what happened before. I apologize to you with all my heart. Please forgive me and let’s remarry. Okay?”Li Mu pleaded in a low voice.“I'm not throwing a tantrum. In fact, my head is very clear. The fact that we've chosen to divorce means that something is seriously wrong with our marriage! If we remarry hastily, we might risk ruining our marriage once again. So, we both need to calm down and don’t remarry just for the sake of it.”“How are we not being calm? Well, at least, I'm being calm! We love each other and we have a child. Don't you want to give the child a complete family?”“Of course, I’ll give my child a complete family. But this complete family doesn't have to include you. I have the right to choose my partner again. You’re only the child’s biological father, not necessarily a father who he’ll grow up with.”Li Mu almost went mad. What the hell did she
“Mrs. Hong!” Aggrieved, Lin Wan called out her name.“Alright. Alright, little kid. That's exactly what I meant. Kun is right. You can't give up now. You have to continue to act mightily. But you definitely have to give in too. Just keep in mind that you’ll have to get the timing right. And now is definitely not a good time!” “Why go through all that trouble?” Lin Wan muttered in a small voice.“Now you think it's too much of a trouble. If you really think so, why did you get yourself into this mess in the first place? Lin Wan, think about it carefully. When he's mad, you give in. But when he gives in, you're mad. How do you think Li Mu would feel?”“How would he feel? He’ll feel my love for him!”“Nonsense. It’s clearly lunatic! Even if it’s love, this love of yours is bringing him down. What do you think you'll get out of this?”Mrs. Hong felt that she was turning into a relationship expert. Even
He Xiaoyu didn't believe a single word Li Mu said.Shaking her head bitterly, she said in a low voice, “When she's finally done torturing you, she’ll ask you to remarry her. She’s revenging you right now. And when she's done, it’ll be over for us.”Li Mu sighed and said nothing more. He knew what He Xiaoyu said was right. His fate was all in Lin Wan’s hands. Unless she took the initiative to let go of him, he would never be able to escape from her.“Li Mu, are you really afraid of her? Or are you just using it as an excuse? I want to hear the truth!”He Xiaoyu bowed her head, and her expression became forlorn.Li Mu knew that she began to suspect him. She had a point. He was a strong and healthy man. So it made no sense for him to act so lowly and obey his ex-wife. The way he kept giving in was indeed puzzling. He was constantly submissive towards Lin Wan. But he honestly did not know why either. W
Shen Xingyue grinned merrily and said something secretly to Li Mu, “Li Mu, I'm not married yet!”He Xiaoyu was so jealous that she almost flipped out on the spot. What did she mean by saying stuff like this to Li Mu? Was she trying to rekindle an old flame?She suddenly had a question in mind. Why was Shen Xingyue here? Wasn't she the commercial director of the Central Shina Region? Why did she come to the north?It was understandable for her to be nervous though. When they were in college, Shen Xingyue and Li Mu dated each other and were really affectionate. But like many campus couples, they did not escape the fate of breaking up upon graduation.The main conflict between the two of them was where to settle down after graduation. Both of them wanted to return to their hometowns and did not want to go to the city where the other lived. And neither could convince the other. In the end, they decided to break up on good terms.
