Chapter 289: Unreasonable
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ben observed Wu Mei’s expression carefully, not missing any details.
Wu Mei felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ben. Casting him a puzzled look, she asked, “Did I say something wrong? K has never shown mercy to me. If it wasn’t for benefits and leads, who would be willing to interact with him?”
After hearing what she said, Ben narrowed his eyes and finally nodded. “He still has other leads, so we can’t stop contacting him for now.”
“You’ll have to work a bit harder.”
Wu Mei answered reluctantly, “Fine. I’ll do my best.”
When she turned around and walked towards Li Nanchen with her back facing Ben, her expression darkened.
Did Ben believe her? Of course not.
It was difficult for them to truly trust each other.
Ben let her off for the moment, but once the seed of doubt was planted, it would be hard to eliminate it completely.
Wu Mei was frustrated. When she reached Li Nanchen’s side, Li Nanchen held her waist roughly, bringing her back to her senses.
“Let’s go home first,” Li Nanchen suggested.
The rest of the matters were handled by the police. In addition, K was in charge of this case, so it wouldn’t be of much use for them to stay.
Wu Mei shook her head. “Shall we go see K?”
Li Nanchen’s expression instantly became rather expressive. Hearing Ben’s mocking sneer, his heart seemed to burn with anger.
Wu Mei said in a low voice, “K said that he has a lead.”
Li Nanchen suppressed the anger in his heart. Knowing that K might have what they wanted, he could only suppress the frustration in his heart.
After they got into the car, they received a message from the police officer in charge of K’s safety.
K’s injury had already been treated. It was merely a surface wound, just that it looked frightening.
Wu Mei relaxed a little and asked about when K might wake up. The answer she got was that it was “uncertain”.
“K lost a lot of blood. When he wakes up, we’ll still need to wait,” Wu Mei said helplessly.
There was no better way to handle this than to wait.
Wu Mei turned to look at Li Nanchen. “Nanchen, if he stays in the hospital, will he be plotted against?”
Given Mo Li’s viciousness, she even dared to make a move in the police station, let alone the hospital.
Naturally, Li Nanchen did not know the answer either. His expression was slightly cold and he did not answer Wu Mei’s question.
Wu Mei finally realized that Li Nanchen was in low spirits and even looked gloomy. She quickly stood in front of him and asked, “Nanchen, are you alright?”
“Since he’s fine, let’s go home first.” Wu Mei’s words echoed in Li Nanchen’s ears. Everything she said was about K, making his head from listening.
He and Wu Mei were inseparable, as if they were glued together. Neither of them wanted to leave the other.
Only Li Nanchen knew clearly in his heart that Wu Mei always felt a sense of closeness to K. If there were any clues, she would immediately think of K. This made him very uncomfortable.
His tone was cold. He only wanted to bring Wu Mei home as soon as possible.
Wu Mei temporarily let go of her worries about K and looked at her wrist that was tightly held by Li Nanchen. She said to the chauffeur, “Stop the car by the roadside first. I have something to tell Nanchen.”
The chauffeur had just replied with a “okay” when Li Nanchen coldly said, “You’re not allowed to stop. Head home.”
Wu Mei was certain that Li Nanchen was angry but she did not quite understand and could not be bothered to argue with him. She leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes to relieve her stress.
Until they returned to the Li Family’s villa.
Wu Mei felt the car stop. Groggily, she rubbed her eyes as Li Nanchen carried her.
She immediately sobered up and said anxiously, “Grandpa and Mom are at home. Put me down quickly.”
Li Nanchen carried her into the villa with a cold expression on his face. Without even changing his shoes, he headed upstairs.
Wu Mei did not struggle anymore and took the initiative to wrap her arms around Li Nanchen’s neck. She looked into his eyes and asked, “Why are you angry?”
Li Nanchen looked at the serious Wu Mei and felt a surge of anger. He tightened his grip on her and did not let go of her even after returning to the room.
“Say something!” Wu Mei held Li Nanchen’s face and kissed him, but Li Nanchen turned away from her.
Her expression turned even worse. After she was carried onto the bed, she nimbly dodged to the side and placed a hand on Li Nanchen’s shoulder. “If you don’t tell me, don’t touch me.”
Li Nanchen was in a terrible mood after being rejected. There was a hint of suppression in his voice as he said, “You only discuss things with K. Even Ben found out about your relationship with K, it goes to show how overboard you’ve gone. You guys didn’t even try to hide it.”
Wu Mei frowned. “K probably didn’t keep it a secret and leaked…”
Li Nanchen kissed her harshly on the lips. She could not say a word and could only struggle to push Li Nanchen away.
Li Nanchen pushed her black and seductive top up and wrapped it tightly around her hands. He wrapped her hands tightly together and lit her entire body up on fire.
“Nanchen, let’s clear the air first.” Wu Mei panted heavily. She shook off her shoes and instinctively wrapped her legs around Li Nanchen’s waist. However, she still tried to reason with Li Nanchen.
“K has many relevant leads. I need him to help me…”
Wu Mei sucked in a deep breath and tried her best to relax as she took Li Nanchen in. She shrugged off her shirt and touched Li Nanchen’s chest.. “Be, be gentler.”
