Without any intention of teasing He Xiaoyu, Li Mu spoke sincerely and heart-warmingly. Speechless, He Xiaoyu took a bite of her apple. Who knew if she would take his advice seriously?
“Alright, if I listen to you, will you come back to work?”
“I will if you listen to me, but ...”
“No buts. It’s a deal!” He Xiaoyu reached out her pinky finger. “Pinky swears. Whoever breaks the promise is a brat!”
Li Mu hesitated for a while, but eventually, he smiled and promised her.
“Although I made a promise to you, you’ll have to give me some time. My wife already knows about my resignation. I will have to get her permission before I go back to work.”
“No excuse. What else do you want to do if you’re not going to work? Lying around and doing nothing? She can’t even afford to pay her car loans with that pitiful salary of hers!” He Xiaoyu said disdainfully.
“She already resigned too,” Li Mu replied.
Mr. Nan’s body went limp and collapsed directly on the ground. Then he knelt on his knees and begged sobbingly, “I don’t know. I really don’t know. Mr. Gou, please save me. Please save me!”“Don’t move and wait for me to go over. Whether you live or die really depends on your luck!”Hearing that, Mr. Nan dropped his phone on the ground. Fear had made him unable to take a hold on himself as he cursed, “Wu Heping, f**k your ancestors! You f**king got me into all these troubles!”…Li Mu drove to the car park of Nanyun Resort Hotel. After getting out of the car, he searched around and didn’t find any trace of his wife. Just when he was about to call Lin Wan, he saw a tall and well-built man walking over in despair. The man didn’t seem to notice him when he walked past him. “Ah, isn’t that Cheng ... What is his name?” Li Mu muttered to himself. Seeing that the man was about to go far, he hurrie
Mr. Gou had returned to his villa. Upon seeing him, the young man who was sitting in the living room immediately stood up and greeted him. After helping Mr. Gou to sit down, he then smiled and said, “About Nan, I’m sorry to bother you.”“If you all don’t want to bother me, then stop making any troubles. If you all are sensible, I don’t have to take care of your mess at all.”“Mr. Gou, you are right. Nan is indeed outrageous this time. With his wealth and status, he still used these kinds of dirty tricks to take down a woman. He deserved to be punished.”Mr. Gou squinted his eyes and didn't respond to his words. Instead, he asked, “I believe you have something to say to me. Quit beating around the bush, and say what on your mind is!”“I can’t hide anything from you. Then I’ll get straight to the point!”Mr. Gou gave a hum and said nothing. “Mr. Gou, Nan has indeed done something wrong this time, and he has
Li Mu returned to Dongyang Group and walked into Quest Mobile’s business department. When everyone saw him, they all greeted him respectfully.This Li Mu was no longer what he used to be. He was now the general manager of Quest Mobile’s business department.Li Mu was as pleased as punch when he walked into the general manager’s office. He was overwhelmed with mixed emotion because Mr. Yan hadn’t sat in this office for too long before it became his office. There were two office desks in the office. The desk in the middle of the office must be his. There was another smaller desk near the door, which obviously belonged to his assistant, He Xiaoyu.Li Mu felt a little frustrated. Why did He Xiaoyu have to share an office with him? This made her look like she was his wife.He immediately decided that if there was nothing special, he would try not to stay in the office as much as possible. He would go to several department
Lin Wan opened the cake box, and Li Mu helped her put on the candles, “Honey, make a wish!”“It’s not even my birthday today. Why do I have to make a wish?” Lin Wan blushed. Although she said that, she still looked very happy.Li Mu lit up the lighter.“Why can’t you make a wish today? All of our friends are gathered here today. It’s such a good day. I’m sure your wish will come true!”The Fang couple, who were standing aside, chimed in. They kept egging her to make a wish.“Alright then,” Lin Wan closed her eyes, put her hands together, and made a wish.After blowing out the candles, Lin Wan said happily, “Thank you, honey. Let’s have some cake.”“Let me cut the cake. The first piece is for Lin Wan. Thank you for always caring for Li Mu.” Fang Qiang cut a piece of cake and placed it onto Lin Wan’s plate.“The second piece goes to my wife. Please have mercy on me ton
Listening to Lin Wan’s words, Li Mu felt somewhat displeased. After all, Fang Qiang was his best friend. His wife’s behavior was indeed offensive, but he thought Lin Wan didn’t have to make a big deal out of it.However, Du Xinzhu’s words were very hurtful. Lin Wan was already being very nice for not lashing out at Du Xinzhu right on the spot. He would be a b*st*rd if he kept on arguing with her.“Come on, honey. Let me kiss you. I’m sorry that you had to hear those words. Let’s just ignore her. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf. Come on! Let’s have some fun together!”While saying that, he shoved himself closer to Lin Wan.“Go away! Don’t kiss me! I’m still angry!”Lin Wan tried to push Li Mu away, but she was trapped under him instead. Moments later, she started panting, “What are you doing? Stop it. Hey, the curtains are open!”“It’s okay. Nobody will see us!”“No! Draw the
The phone kept ringing. Lin Wan hesitated, but she picked up the call anyway.“Hello?”“Hi! Am I speaking to Ms. Lin?” A man’s voice came from the other side of the phone. He had a charming voice, and it was pleasant to the ears.“Yes, I am. Who is this?”“Oh, I’m the new vice-principal. I’m Wang Shen. Ms. Lin, can you come to the school now? There’s something I would like to talk to you about.”The new vice-principal? Lin Wan was taken aback. That was too soon. It wasn’t that long after Wu Heping passed away, and there was already a replacement.Besides, she barely knew this person and the reason he wanted to meet.“Hi, Mr. Wang. If it’s okay for you, I prefer to talk over the phone.”“Ms. Lin, please forgive me for being so sudden. I still hope you could come to the school. We should talk about this in person. Don’t worry. It won’t take up much of your time.”
Seeing that his wife ignored him, Li Mu teased her with his hand and said angrily, “I am talking to you. Don’t pretend to be dumb. Tell me quickly. Why do you want to go to work?”“You are not sincere. I don’t need your pretension.”Lin Wan grumbled, rolling her eyes at her husband. “I am sincere. I am just pretending to be calm because I am afraid that you will complain about my machismo again. Since you don’t care, then I must get to the bottom of it. Tell me quickly.”“Do you really want to know?”“Yes, I want to know!”“Alright, I’ll tell you then. Our school has a new vice-principal. He is not only young and handsome but also has a very good personality. He asked me to go back to teach the choir, and I have already promised him.”Upon hearing that, Li Mu’s face darkened, and he was not pretending this time. “Are you going back just because he is handsome and has a very good
The boss took a few puffs of smoke and said unhurriedly, “It’s getting more and more interesting. You guys keep a close watch on that man. It’s best if you can find out about Lin Wan’s secret from him. If there is not enough manpower, I’ll assign a few more people to you.”“Thank you, boss. Don’t worry. That man is looking for Lin Wan all over the world. He is in a very bad state now, so it’s easy to get him to let his guard down. I have confidence that I will be able to get Lin Wan’s secret out of him.”“Okay, is there anything else?”“Yes. Su and Han had been watching Wu Heping. He once went out to make a phone call during that dinner. They were far away, so they couldn’t hear him clearly, but he must have asked something about Lin Wan and those two waiters.”“In other words, Lin Wan has something to do with the death of the two waiters?”“Yes, boss. That’s what I think.”“Well, then, why did you say tha
