Chapter 315: Leaving Him Behind
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Nanchen instantly narrowed his eyes.?They are really unwilling to give up. Even when they have no chance of winning, they still want to fight.
Is there any meaning to this?
Maybe there was.
Li Nanchen placed his hands on her shoulders and said in a low voice, “You can leave this matter to me. I’ll think of a way.”
Wu Mei seemed to not have heard Li Nanchen’s words. She narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself, “With Yang Shan’s ability, there’s no way she could hire these people. It should be Wu Yi’s idea.”
She thought she knew Wu Yi quite well.
They were willing to spend this money. Seems like they are quite confident.
Li Nanchen sighed. “Wu Yi, is it? I’ll send someone…”
Wu Mei tossed her phone aside and stopped looking at her computer. She lifted her head and smiled at Li Nanchen. “It’s getting late.”
Li Nanchen’s eyes lit up as he gently held Wu Mei’s hand. “Yes, it’s getting late. My injuries are already…”
Wu Mei moved aside and let Li Nanchen have the desk. She hurriedly said, “You can handle the rest of the work first. I’ll go see Mom.”
She could not let Mother Wu notice the information on the Internet. She had to let her go to bed as soon as possible.
Li Nanchen stood rooted to the ground, watching Wu Mei run away. He sighed helplessly.
He seemed to have been left behind again.
Wu Mei walked swiftly along the corridor to Mother Wu’s room and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” said Mother Wu.
Wu Mei immediately pushed down the handle of the door. After pushing the door open, she first observed Mother Wu’s expression.
Mother Wu was very gentle and did not seem to be uncomfortable at all.
Mother Wu felt uncomfortable under Wu Mei’s gaze. She glanced at the clock on the wall and said softly, “Child, look at the time now. Why aren’t you resting?”
“I miss you, Mom,” Wu Mei immediately said coquettishly.
She threw herself into Mother Wu’s arms and grumbled softly, “Don’t you believe me?”
Mother Wu patted Wu Mei’s back and muttered, “You left Nanchen alone in the room again?”
“He needs to handle his work,” Wu Mei said sullenly.
She helped Mother Wu to the bed and they talked for a while until Mother Wu yawned. She quieted down too.
Mother Wu stroked Wu Mei’s hair and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m safe here. Go back and rest.”
“Alright!” Wu Mei said sullenly.
After Mother Wu lay down, she turned off the lights in the room and walked out.
In the dark, Mother Wu took out her phone and opened a trending article.
The article was regarding gossip about her and Wu Mei. The content was obviously fake, but it was well-written and was enough to smear their past.
Who would be so cruel?
Are they targeting her again?
In order not to worry Wu Mei, Mother Wu pretended not to know anything. However, she was already upset.
She decided not to rely on Wu Mei anymore. Instead, she would find a way to deal with what had happened on her own.
Wu Mei stood outside the door and massaged her temples. Her head was hurting.
Thinking that her mother had not seen the news on the Internet, she was temporarily relieved. As she walked back to her room, she was suddenly pulled by a strong force and pressed against the window.
Before she could see who this person was, she instinctively raised her hand and attacked swiftly, unwilling to admit defeat.
“Mei’er, it’s me,” Li Nanchen said softly.
Under the moonlight outside the window, Wu Mei saw the man’s face clearly. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “Mr Li, you scared me.”
Li Nanchen hooked her chin. “Ms Wu, you also hurt me.”
Hurt him?
Wu Mei did not think that she had injured Li Nanchen.
Her eyes were dazed and filled with uncertainty. She muttered, “Did I really hurt you?”
Wu Mei misunderstood that she had struck Li Nanchen’s wound and reached out to touch his waist, wanting to examine the gauze-covered wound.
Li Nanchen quickly pressed down on Wu Mei’s hand and reminded her in a hoarse voice, “We’re still injured. You can’t act recklessly.”
What he said…
Made it seem like Wu Mei was on the verge of losing control.
Wu Mei’s face immediately turned red. She raised her hand angrily and lightly punched Li Nanchen’s shoulder. “What are you talking about? Didn’t you say that I hurt you?”
Li Nanchen pressed down on Wu Mei’s hand and wrapped it around his waist. “Aren’t you hurting me by leaving me alone in the study?”
“You’re taking me less and less seriously.”
Wu Mei’s heart sank. Thinking back carefully, she also felt that she had gone too far.
She groaned and carefully avoided Li Nanchen’s injuries. She hugged him tightly. “From now on, I will focus all my attention on you. Mr Li, you have to receive my blows properly.”
“I couldn’t ask for more.” Li Nanchen kissed Wu Mei’s forehead, wishing he could fuse her into his bones.
Before he walked out of the study room, he specially checked his wound. It was not convenient for him to do any special exercise, so he could only suppress this thought.
He was on fire right now.
Wu Mei could feel his emotions rising and falling. She patted his back gently, as if comforting him.
Li Nanchen slowly exhaled and said through gritted teeth, “Wait a few more days. I won’t let you off.”
Wu Mei nestled in Li Nanchen’s embrace and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
