Chapter 17 Lin Wan’s Explanation

Lin Wan’s analysis was right. Before this happened, Xiaoyu almost let go of Li Mu. After all, there were tons of other nice men out there. She did not want to become the other woman.

Although she felt reluctant, he was a married man. She could become friends with him, but she should not develop any affectionate feelings for him.

However, Lin Wan’s behavior made Xiaoyu have second thoughts. Since Lin Wan did not appreciate Li Mu, why couldn’t she take him away from Lin Wan?

In the past, she thought this way of thinking was immoral, but now, it seemed pretty reasonable!

How could Lin Wan cheat on Li Mu yet at the same time expect him to be loyal to her? Who did she think she was?

Since Lin Wan could not stay faithful, Xiaoyu thought she should let go of Li Mu as soon as possible.

Hence, she decided to not give up on this opportunity. Not only did she want to help Li Mu escape from a bad marriage, but she also wanted to make him hers using this chance.

...

After arriving at home, Li Mu slumped into the couch, and Lin Wan sat next to him.

Seeing Li Mu moving aside, Lin Wan moved closer to him, grabbed his arm, and looked at him with an aggrieved look.

Acting cute and weak was Lin Wan’s weapon. Every time Li Mu saw her behaving that way, his heart would soften.

Ignoring her, Li Mu pulled his arm away from her grip, took out a cigarette, and started smoking.

“Come on. Why are you smoking again?”

Snatching away his cigarette, Lin Wan put out his cigarette in the ashtray before hugging his arm again.

“Honey, you have to believe me. I will never betray you. I’d rather die than cheat on you.”

“Why did you lie?”

“My parents were here!”

Hearing that, Li Mu was stunned. What did she mean by that? Did that mean that he had parents-in-law? Instantly, his mind became a mess.

When they were dating, Lin Wan told him that her parents had already passed away. She said she was working in Shanyang alone, and she had no relatives.

Indeed, except for her colleagues and friends, he did not see any of her family members during their wedding.

Li Mu always thought that she was an orphan. Never did he expect she would suddenly have a cousin and even parents overnight.

“I’m getting confused. Give me some time to clear my mind!”

Li Mu sat up straight and looked at Lin Wan seriously, “So you’re saying that your parents are here in Shanyang?”

“Yes, and it’s not only them. My fifth uncle, fifth aunt, Mrs. Hong, and Brother Lin Kun are here as well.”

“Are they your biological parents?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, they’re m biological parents.”

“Wait a minute, I’m still very confused. Let me think about it. You told me that your parents passed on ago. How did they suddenly pop out of nowhere?”

“I have reasons for saying that. I can explain to you.”

“Go ahead then!”

Leaning her head against Li Mu’s shoulder, Lin Wan said softly, “Honey, I ever escaped my wedding.”

“Was your fiance that guy names Lin Kin?” Nervous, Li Mu asked.

“Why are you talking nonsense again?”

Lifting her head, Lin Wan continued discontentedly, “I told you many times that he’s my cousin, and there’s nothing going on between us!”

“Anyway, I don’t like him!” Li Mu mumbled.

“What did he do to you? You guys just met, and you beat him up so badly. My parents are going to complain to me if they find out.”

“Stop talking to him in the future. I hate him!” Li Mu ordered overbearingly.
