The call between the two women was short since it wasn’t anything complicated. After a few words, Lin Wan placed her phone casually on the cupboard.
"I'll go to wash my hair first. You’d better get ready too, we're leaving in a few minutes."
Li Mu responded with a yes. Right after Lin Wan left, he immediately picked up her phone again and unlocked her phone’s graphic lock to look through his wife's phone call history.
Apart from him, the majority of those who had contact with his wife were her colleagues, while the rest were express packages and takeaways. There was also nothing out of place in terms of her call frequency.
He then checked her VChat history. All he could see were various groupchats with her colleagues and groups about makeup, fresh food, cakes and so on. These were all normal social groups and there were no strangers found in her list of friends.
The only noticeable change was that Lin Wan followed a postpartum care centre, and even asked them for advice on pregnancy preparation.
Li Mu couldn’t help but laugh. He was well aware that his wife is fond of children and wanted a baby of her own very badly. The two of them had also planned to have a child.
He just didn't expect she’d act so quickly. Not only did she plan to prepare for pregnancy already, but she even contacted a postpartum care centre.
Putting down the phone, Li Mu felt much at ease. However, he still felt something was out of place, yet he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was unusual.
After packing up, the two of them drove to Renaissance Hotel. Lin Wan wore a casual outfit and had her hair tied in a ponytail at the back of her head. This style of dressup made her look even more youthful and beautiful.
Ever since they left the house, Li Mu was constantly staring at her with a smirk. Lin Wan pouted, “Stop staring at me like that, we’ve been married for so long already, why are you still so thirsty?”
Li Mu whispered a few words in her ears, which made Lin Wan blush profusely. She glared at him while punching him on his arm.
After getting onto the car, Lin Wan asked out of curiosity, “Where’s your car?”
“It’s still at the office, I borrowed this car from Mr. Fang.” Li Mu answered casually.
“You’re really something huh, it's such a waste that you're not a detective!" Lin Wan taunted discontentedly.
“Duh, if my wife left me for another young fella, I’ll unleash my true powers. I can even turn myself into a killer instead of a detective.
“Nonsense! Let me ask you, if I was unable to explain myself clearly, what would you do?” Lin Wan asked seriously.
"Divorce!" Li Mu blurted out the answer without further consideration.
A howl could be heard out of the car spread immediately. Lin Wan did not go easy on her husband by pinching him twice under the ribs really hard, causing Li Mu to bare his teeth in pain, and the car to sway around side by side.
Luckily it was a Saturday, and there weren’t many cars on the road. Even so, a few cars behind them were startled and honked their horns at them.
"Holy sh*t, you crazy chick, are you out of your mind?" Li Mu opened his mouth to curse.
“Hey you, listen up. If you ever dare to file a divorce, I swear you’ll never get away with it. Try me if you dare!”Lin Wan responded defiantly.
"You’re so bossy and overbearing! I’m not allowed to file for a divorce even when you've done something wrong?" Li Mu defended himself.
Lin Wan grunted and responded slowly, “Firstly, I’ll never do anything wrong, so this isn’t a solid reason. Secondly, even if I really made a mistake, you have to forgive me. You’re my husband, you should tolerate me for who I am, including my flaws!”
“That depends? There are certain things that I’ll never be able to tolerate!”
"I know what you're referring to. Don't worry, I won't do anything wrong like that. If I really did, I don't need you to kick me out, I'll leave myself without you asking me to!
“Give me your phone!” Lin Wan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly ordered her husband. “It’s in my bag. Get it yourself. What do you want to do with my phone?”"I want to check what you and He Xiaoyu usually talk about.""Tsk, feel free to look through my phone as much as you like!" Li Mu said disdainfully. "There is nothing between us, so I have nothing to fear."Lin Wan started to look through her husband’s phone. After a while, she suddenly snapped at him, “Pull over now!”“What’s the matter?”“I asked you to pull over!” Lin Wan shouted angrily.Li Mu quickly stopped the car at the side of the road. Before the car came to a complete stop, Lin Wan hurriedly got out of the car and walked back while crying."What the f**k!" Li Mu cursed. He immediately stalled the car and got out to chase after Lin Wan. Grabbing hold of her hand, he asked, "What's wrong?
Despite Lin Kun’s provocation, Li Mu didn’t even bother to cast a glance at him.Instead, he said to Lin Wan’s parents calmly, “I think I’d better call you two uncle and aunt. Let’s do it this way. I’ll give you two a million dollars. You can treat this as the payment for selling your daughter to me!”“How insolent of you!” the fifth aunt yelled from the side. “How am I being insolent? Your husband quoted the price. The price he quoted for Lin Wan was one million. Since you guys quoted the price, why can’t I buy her?”“In your dreams! Our baby Lin Wan is worth far more than a million dollars.” The fifth aunt replied furiously.“Oh, then why don't you tell me how much Lin Wan is worth to you guys?”Li Mu had completely sidetracked the whole conversation. He was really a senior consultant of a reputable company. He was really good at grasping the opportunity and leading the conversation.
Li Mu walked into the office with apprehension when he went to work on Monday.From afar, he had already seen He Xiaoyu sitting at his work station, staring fixedly at the entrance.When she saw Li Mu, He Xiaoyu immediately sprang up from her seat and called out loudly, “Li Mu!”A few of the colleagues who had already reached the office immediately turned their heads to their side one after another and looked at them curiously.Li Mu quickly trotted over and said in a low pleading voice, “Ms. Yu, please spare me. If there is anything, let’s go outside and talk about it.”He Xiaoyu snorted and strutted out of the office.Li Mu hurriedly threw his bag on the desk and followed her out obediently. The two of them went to the garden downstairs, and found a place with not many people. Before Li Mu could sit down, He Xiaoyu had already begun to question him, “Lin Wan blocked me, right?”
Upon hearing Li Mu’s words of concern for him, Mr. Li chuckled and patted him on his shoulder.“Li Mu, thanks for thinking of me after you got promoted. Don’t worry. Thanks to you, I also got promoted to the general manager of the business department. I am only changing to another office. We will still be working together!”Li Mu immediately expressed his congratulations to Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan responded with a smile, “We will congratulate each other. Do you have time tonight? If you are free, let’s have a drink together?”"Okay, let's have a drink together!"Then, Li Mu stood up, preparing to leave the room. Just when he was about to walk out of the room, Mr. Yan suddenly reminded him, “Li Mu, Xiaoyu will be your subordinate in the future. You must take good care of her. Don’t tire her out!”There seemed to be a hidden meaning in these words, but Li Mu couldn’t figure it out in a moment. So, he just replied, “Alrig
He Xiaoyu’s questions made Li Mu hesitate for a long time.After much deliberation, he finally said to He Xiaoyu, “If that is really the case then I’ll definitely leave her, but the latter question...” “Why? Even if you leave her, you won’t be interested in me, either?” He Xiaoyu asked disappointedly.”“No, I don’t mean that. You think too much. I think we have to get along with each other first. After all, there was an only pure friendship between us previously. We may not be able to change this in a while.”Li Mu was very honest, and didn’t try to hide anything. He told her about all his thoughts truthfully without holding anything back.He Xiaoyu laughed and leaned her body towards him. Li Mu hurriedly moved to the side to avoid her, pressing his body tightly to the car door. “What are you avoiding me?” He Xiaoyu grumbled."Xiaoyu, I only said that there might be a po
Upon seeing the look on her face, Ms. Tian knew that Lin Wan must have forgotten about it. She couldn’t help but grumble at her again. Lin Wan immediately apologized to her, "Alright, alright. I have a lot of things to deal with lately, so I didn't have time to think about this. But I didn't forget this on purpose. This is my fault, okay?""Then do you agree or not? The other party is still waiting for your reply. Lin Wan, my student personally called you. Don't let her down."Lin Wan smiled gracefully and said to Ms. Tian, "Okay, I can agree to be her home tutor. But her parents have to agree to a condition of mine. If not, I won’t do it.”“Okay, tell me. What is your condition? They were pretty rich, so whatever you want, they can surely satisfy you,” Ms. Tian immediately responded.Her answer made Lin Wan a little unhappy. She suddenly felt that Ms. Tian was insolently rude, and the way she spoke made her fe
He Xiaoyu gave Mr. Tang a nod and the latter turned and left the room. After a while, he came back with an envelope and handed it to Zhou Zijian.“There are a few photos of the target inside this envelope. Mr. Zhou, you can take a look at them first. If you have any problem, please let me know.”Zhou Zijian opened the envelope and there were a few Li Wan's photos in it. After taking a glance at the photos, he put everything back into the envelope.He Xiaoyu had gotten the photos from Li Mu’s cell phone. She had a lot of opportunities to play with his phone, so it’s not difficult for her to steal a few photos of his wife from it.“Mr. Tang, may I know the direction of the investigation?”“This woman’s name is Lin Wan. I hope you can investigate her in detail and find out who she often interacts with and what she does when she is with those people. It’s best that you take photos as evidence. Do you understand what
Today was Li Mu’s first day taking up his post. All his colleagues were there to congratulate him, but oddly, Xiaoyu did not show up. That was somewhat unexpected.It was only until noon that Xiaoyu appeared. Immediately, she pushed open the door and walked into his office before sitting on the table, facing him.“Get out!” Frowning, Li Mu reprimanded, “Do you have nothing better to do?”Unfazed, Xiaoyu kept grinning at him.In the face of her stares, Li Mu felt uncomfortable. Subconsciously, he touched his face, “Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”“No. But I have to say...” Smiling, Xiaoyu answered.“Wait a minute. You’d better hold your tongue. I’m sure you don’t have anything nice to say!”“You look all smug right now!” Eventually, Xiaoyu said it. After that, she broke into a fit of laughter.Li Mu was somewhat amused as well. Helplessly, he respo
