Chapter 208: Acting Miserable
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Huo Jiuxiao could tell what Lin Wanli was thinking with just a glance. Perhaps he had heard her in the bathroom.
His little sweet wife was a contradiction.
“Take a shower first.” Huo Jiuxiao ruffled her hair and pushed her into the bathroom. He treated the wound that had just appeared today, then changed his clothes and went to the children’s room to see the little girl.
When he was in Diheng, he was the highest-ranking mission executor and was also the main examiner of Diheng’s S-rank bodyguard training. Since he was going to make a move, it was inevitable that he would suffer some superficial injuries. However, he did not show these to Lin Wanli.
When Lin Wanli came out of the bathroom, the lights in the bedroom weren’t on, but there were a few candles lit. Then, she saw Huo Jiuxiao sitting on the sofa with red wine and wine glasses.
“Want a drink?”
[I can’t hold my liquor. Don’t trick me.]
Although Lin Wanli thought so, she still rubbed her messy hair and sat down beside Master Xiao.
The two of them drank a little. After Lin Wanli drank a few glasses, her face was as red as blood. She leaned weakly on the back of the sofa and pouted.
“Since you can’t be a ruthless person, why are you forcing yourself like this?” Huo Jiuxiao tilted his head and asked Lin Wanli.
Lin Wanli opened her eyes lazily and thought to herself.
[Because I can’t get over it. I can’t forgive them, and I feel cold-blooded. I always remember the hurt in my previous life, so I would rather be ruthless than let go.]
[People who have been bitten and betrayed can’t let their guard down. After Huo Jiuxiao heard this, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.
“Ah Li…” said Huo Jiuxiao.
[Hmm?]
“Nothing.”
Originally, Huo Jiuxiao wanted to say that she could try to think about letting go. Now that she had a husband, she didn’t have to shoulder everything herself. However, he was afraid that if he gave her too much hope, his promise would become empty words in the end, so he swallowed the words that were in his throat.
[Actually, it’s fine. It’ll be over after I complain. Huo Jiuxiao, do you know what I like most about you?]
Lin Wanli hugged Huo Jiuxiao’s neck and found a comfortable spot on his chest to close her eyes.
[I like that you listen to me, but you won’t make any decisions for me. You won’t force your ideas on me. I like your tolerance and calmness. This makes me very relaxed and comfortable. I truly like chatting with you.]
However, Huo Jiuxiao had learned this from her. Because she had never thought of changing him. She understood all his emotions and respected every decision he made. Even though she was bleeding every time, she would still stand up and look at him with a relieved smile, saying that it was okay.
“You just like to chat?”
Hearing this question, Lin Wanli suddenly opened her eyes.
“Don’t you prefer to do it?”
Lin Wanli immediately bounced away from him, but it was too late. She was pulled back and kissed on the lips. Because they had drunk the wine, the fragrance of the wine made the two of them even more addicted.
After putting her on the bed, he called Song Huaishu. He ordered, “Go find someone. After you find them, arrange for them to be a volunteer in the new laboratory.”
Song Huaishu hung up the phone and replied through a message: “Master, what’s the name?”
Huo Jiuxiao replied, “Qin Huaijing.”
This person was trash everywhere, but he had an identity that was his death-exemption card. That was, he was Lin Wanli’s father.
Huo Jiuxiao was well aware of Lin Wanli’s heart troubles. Since she couldn’t let go of this inner demon, as her husband, he would naturally clean up the aftermath for her.
After putting down his phone, Huo Jiuxiao returned to his bed and hugged his little sweet wife back into his arms. He had long gotten used to this perfect hug and this person whose soul was connected to him.
After Linda returned to the Lin Group from the temple, she went to the old lady’s office to report.
“I gave the mother and daughter a number, but Ye Weiyin completely disagreed. She said that things are different now. If the DNA test between her and Lin Xueyi is successful, the Lin Group will suffer an immeasurable loss. So, she thinks that this number is too little.”
“How much did you raise?” The old lady asked as she stood by the window.
“One billion.”
After the old lady heard this, she sneered continuously and commented, “They’re really something. Even one billion isn’t enough for them. How greedy and annoying. I should have let her die outside back then, then there wouldn’t be such trouble today.”
“Moreover, she also said that she would only consider agreeing if you personally come forward and show your sincerity, Chairman. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined.”
At this point, the Old Madam had never thought that she would one day be manipulated by the Ye family’s mother and daughter. However, public opinion was not something she could consider now. Therefore, she could not care less about her heart attack. She said to her assistant, “Arrange a meeting as soon as possible. It seems that I have to deal with these two b*tches personally.” “I’ll do it right away, but Chairman, do you need a more professional team?”
“No need. I know those two b*tches better than anyone. They only want benefits.” The Old Madam waved her hand confidently.
Taixi’s matter was secondary. The most important thing was still her ridiculous reputation.
Of course, it would be wonderful if she could use Ye Zhenzhen to get Taixi’s cooperation.
However, the dream was too beautiful…
She had to wake up eventually.
After a noisy day, Zhou Tingyang finally mustered up the courage to return to his apartment. Xiao Qinke had called him countless times, but he never picked up. It was to test Xiao Qinke’s attitude towards him and see if Xiao Qinke was really loyal to him.
This was Mother Zhou’s idea. She thought that she understood women and felt that women could not be coaxed. The more you looked like you were leaving her, the more she would be reluctant to part with you.
Sure enough, Zhou Tingyang felt that his mother’s words were effective. He had disappeared on Xiao Qinke for more than ten hours. The moment Xiao Qinke saw him, her face was filled with worry as she asked, “Where did you go?
I couldn’t even find you. Do you know that I was very worried?”
“Ke’er, my reputation is ruined now. I don’t think I have a place in Jinchuan.
Why don’t you go back to your parents? I’m afraid you’ll be implicated by me.”
The second move was to act miserable.
This was also what Mother Zhou had taught him. If he wanted a woman to be loyal, he had to make her heart ache and feel guilty, arousing her desire to protect him.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Xiao Qinke quickly found a towel to wipe his face. She said, “I don’t mind. I love you as a person. Besides, my father is coming over to discuss our marriage soon. We’ve also paid the deposit for our wedding house. Don’t even think about abandoning me at this time.” “Does Dad really like me? I’m afraid that…”
“I’m here. We’re already married. Don’t worry. Besides, my father is a very reasonable person. He’ll definitely support us. Don’t listen to what’s happening outside. Don’t look at it either. I’ll help you get through all the difficulties..
When the time comes, we’ll settle the score with that b*tch, Ye Zhenzhen!”
