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
The fifth princess glanced towards He Xiaoyu's hand.Then he said, "That's right, it's it, I only have one piece of Ruyi on me, so I'm sure it can't be wrong."Master Kei also came over to recognize it, and after pondering it for a while, he said aloud, "Good, good, fellow monks, the old monk has thought of a way."Li Mu touched his head and asked in a humorless manner, "What idea did Master think of?""Monk Li, the old monk can now conclude that the function of these pillars is to instantly move, not to devour, which means that we will not be in danger if we touch them.""And then what, what's your idea?""The old monk's idea is a bit foolish, I think that we might as well touch these stone pillars and let them keep shifting us until they send us out.""Blind cat on a dead mouse?""Words are not enough, that's exactly what the old monk's idea was.""What kind of bullshit idea is that, you-"Li Mu was still about to say mor
It was dark outside, but there was light inside.It was only after careful identification that the crowd realized that those stone pillars would emit a faint ghostly light.Strange, why can't I find this feature out there.It wasn't a big deal though, and no one cared as they continued on in.Passing through a few more stone pillars, Li Mu subconsciously looked backward and was shocked, he couldn't help but call out, "Holy shit, where's the road we came from, we're walking in a straight line, how come we can't see the road anymore."The crowd hurriedly looked back, not so much, behind a large stone pillar blocking the front, where there is still the way to come.Li Mu pointed at the pillar and asked the others, "How did this pillar come to be here, and who saw how it came to be here?"All shook their heads.Li Mu continued to ask, "Master Kei, Princess Five, do you sense any changes in the formation?"The Fifth Princess was at a
Chi Feng retreated to the side and completely calmed down, poised and courteous, what a handsome beautiful boy.Li Mu was testing the width of the stone crevice, he stretched out his hand and was barely able to reach in, but his arm was unable to enter.Shen Xingyue also compared her measurements and shook her head towards Li Mu.The Fifth Princess laughed from the side, "You don't need to try, the gap is very narrow, with your stature you definitely won't make it."Chi Feng interjected, "This crevice is very strange, not to mention people, even ghosts can't get in."Reimu asked, "What do you mean?"Chi Feng replied, "As long as it's a living thing it can't get through, even if your body is like a piece of paper, you can't cross this gap.""So you've tried, have you managed to get through the gap?"Chi Feng shook his head and said, ''I've tried many ways to get through.I've been trying here for a long time, and there's been no g
Li Mu didn't completely agree with the old monk's words.He said directly, "There is some truth in the Master's judgment, it is very much like a war has taken place here.One thing that is not clearly explained though is that since it is a war then there are winners and losers, the loser quits and the winner stays.And what sense does it make that I see only wreckage and dilapidation, not the scent of human habitation?"Master Kei replied, "That war has destroyed this secret realm, and I'm afraid that the victors don't want it, so it's reasonable for the public to not be able to see the people."The crowd nodded their heads, thinking that the old monk was right, and that should be the reason.The Fifth Princess said to everyone, "Let's go, that place is very hidden, you need to go through secret passages to reach there, hopefully no one has noticed."The group hurried up the road and found a secret passage in a valley, through which they cam
Lin Wan and the girls had a very simple idea, with an infinite lifespan and a bright situation, why would they risk their lives to go to such a vicious place.Success, at best, will add to their careers, failure, will encounter life-threatening situations, how to look at it is not worth the loss, not worth doing.It was only because of Li Mu's great interest and always unwilling to settle down for a long time that they were forced to choose to go exploring.The purpose of the trip was entirely to keep him company, and there was no goal at all.They couldn't wait for Little Brother Li to give up on his original intention, and it would be best to return to the Su Clan's secret realm, that would be the best choice.The Fifth Princess shook her head helplessly and decided to hurry up and confess the truth, don't lose patience even with Li Mu in a while, and this heart will be completely dispersed."I'll start with the first secret place."A yawn
Before leaving the Su family, Gan Lu stole a visit to Li Mu and sincerely apologized.While congratulating her for finally being free, Li Mu repeatedly admonished her to be kind to others and not to do anything wrong, and Gan Lu repeatedly thanked her before leaving.At this point, the Su family's matter was considered to be satisfactorily resolved.Not long after, Su Yun two families big wedding, Yun Wanling married the younger uncle.Another period of time passed, and the Su family's second youngest grandmother reported that she was pregnant, carrying a pair of twins at once.October pregnancy, gave birth to a pair of big fat boys, the old lady can not close her mouth happily, Su family members are also raised eyebrows, each rejoicing.The Su family is even decorated with lanterns and large banquets, celebrating the fact that the Su family has a queen and does not have to worry about the problem of no one to follow in her footsteps.Li Mu
The Su family's old lady froze and didn't react for a long time.Reimu didn't say anything else, just looked at him quietly.The old lady pondered for half a day before she reacted to the flavor, her brow furrowed in embarrassment.She seemed a little uncomfortable, and a little moved.It was obvious that she was conflicted and didn't know how to make a decision.Lin Wan lost no time in saying, ''Elderly man, you have no one to turn to now, and your righteous son is your only hope.You should not be concerned about his status; since he has worshipped you, you are his mother, and he is your son Su Xi Mao."The old lady quickly said, ''Fairy is mistaken, I trust my son and know that he is a good boy and will definitely honor me.It's my eldest daughter-in-law I'm worried about, I don't know if she'll be happy about it, it's hard to ask for something like that, it's hard!"Li Mu laughed out loud and said to the old lady, "To tell yo
One day a few months later, the Su family's old lady invited Li Mu and the others over.The old lady's complexion was very bad, with no blood at all on her face, and when she saw the crowd, she immediately held back her left and right, and reluctantly smiled at them and said, "Here you are, all sit down!"Li Mu detected the words and knew that there was a situation, and deliberately asked, "Old lady, is there a result from the investigation?"The old woman nodded, a look of both pain and anger on her face.Li Mu sighed and said in a deep voice, "It seems that my analysis wasn't wrong, there really is something wrong with that merit law!"The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Not only is there a problem, as long as you practice that gongfu, not only will you lose your personnel ability, but you will surely lose your life in the long run.Moreover, the death was as if he was poisoned, my eldest son was not killed by poison, it was caused by prac
Seeing them all look sad, the Fifth Princess laughed, ''Sister Wan is right, with just a few of us, we definitely can't bring too many world stones with us.But it's not like there's no way to fix this thing."Little Brother Li's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Knowing that there is a good way, that's great, quickly, what should I do?""It's simple, we can start by seizing a secret realm and use it as our warehouse, storing all the world stones we find there.When you come back the next time, you can bring your chiropteran wolf with you and have it swallow all the worldstones, so that it won't be brought out."Li Mu vigorously slapped his thigh and shouted loudly, Lin Wan and the others also felt that this was a good idea indeed.Only Shen Xingyue frowned and asked, "Fifth Princess, how do you know that he has a chi wolf?"Lin Wan and the others were immediately alerted, yes, you even knew that we have chi wolves, how much do you really k
