Chapter 261: Next Time, I Won ‘t Be Absent
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After putting away his ruthless side and returning home, Master Xiao returned to being that leisurely and lazy man.
When he entered the bedroom, he saw Lin Wanli drying her hair. He walked behind Lin Wanli and took the hairdryer from her hand. Then, he played with her long hair behind her.
The fragrance wasn’t strong, but it was penetrating. Huo Jiuxiao endured it until her hair was dry before he bent down and sniffed Lin Wanli’s hair.
[Does it smell good?]
Lin Wanli asked as she combed her hair.
Huo Jiuxiao picked her up and placed her on the dressing table. He lifted her chin and looked into her sparkling eyes. He said, “President Lin, you’re ruthless again today. You should teach me a lesson too.”
Things between the two of them had always been stormy and high-spirited. When the battlefield was over, Lin Wanli could not even lift her fingers. She warned him, [I’ll grab my baby to sleep in the middle tonight.] “Do you think that it will be safe just because little Youran is in the middle?”
[Huo Jiuxiao!]
It was rare for Master Xiao to be in a good mood. He agreed to his little sweet wife’s request and carried his daughter between the two of them. However, little Youran had already fallen asleep with her little butt up, so there was less excitement.
The husband and wife were lying on their sides. At this moment, Huo Jiuxiao pulled a blanket over little Youran. Then, he said to Lin Wanli, “Let’s have another child in two years. If you’re still willing.”
[Why not? I hope we have many children and grandchildren.]
“Doesn’t it hurt?” Huo Jiuxiao lifted his eyelids and observed Lin Wanli’s expression.
Lin Wanli froze.
“When you gave birth to Youran, the entire hospital was filled with your screams. I couldn’t hear it, but Song Huaishu did.”
[It hurts, but it’s worth it. Youran is worth it. You… are worth it.]
“Next time, I won’t be absent.”
Lin Wanli frowned and asked, [Weren’t you there?]
“Next time, I will accompany you and make sure you see me.”
The husband and wife looked at little Youran, who was sleeping soundly, and lay down separately. They also turned off the lights above their heads.
Lin Wanli didn’t know what Huo Jiuxiao had been busy with in Diheng these days. In fact, he was busy clearing all obstacles for her.
Huo Yu’an was grieving in the hot spring temple for a day when she heard the news that Lin Wanli had destroyed the Lin Group. If it was in the past, she would definitely hate Lin Wanli and think that she was simply a wicked woman who would not even let her own family off. However, after experiencing Xiao Huaixings betrayal, she suddenly understood why Lin Wanli would be so determined to walk down this path to the end.
Or perhaps, Lin Wanli’s actions had inspired her. Therefore, she did not plan to continue running away, nor did she plan to seek death and be tired of living.
She had seen a psychiatrist in France for so long and even tried the most painful treatment just to completely get rid of her inner demons and live a normal life with Xiao Huaixing. However, she did not expect that Xiao Huaixing did not care at all whether she was normal or healthy.
Last night, her best friend had sent a lot of photos of Xiao Huaixing and that female celebrity, and there were even some unsightly scenes in the hot spring.
Huo Yutan forced herself to look at the photo again and again until she could no longer feel any anger towards the photo.
Then, she left the hotel and went back to the house she shared with that man. She packed a few pieces of her luggage and took out the sleeping pills from the drawer. However, the bottle cap wasn’t tightened, so the pills spilled out. Huo Yutan squatted down to pick it up and realized that the pill was different from her sleeping pills.
Huo Yu’an put the pills back into the bottle and then put down her luggage. She took out disposable gloves from the kitchen and began to do various detailed checks at home. Then, under her pillow, she found a pool of chicken blood and a very strange-looking charm.
Huo Yutan wrapped them up with plastic wrap and put them all in her suitcase. Since Xiao Huaixing was going on vacation for a week, she would do all sorts of tidying up within that week.
The next day, she carried her suitcase to AFF’s office.
Lin Wanli thought she was going back to France. She asked, “Are you sure you want to leave with your current state of emotions?”
“There’s no need to thank me. Just live your life knowing what you should know.”
Huo Yu’an carried her suitcase to the reception area and sat down. She hesitated for a while but still mustered her courage. She turned around and asked Lin Wanli, “Can you help me?”
Huo Yu’an choked when she said this.
It was as if she could not hide her emotions if she said another word.
Lin Wanli looked at Huo Yu’an seriously and replied, “I know what you want. I know what happened to you, but I have to make it clear. I can help you, but I’m not a good person. If you need my help, don’t use morality to bind me.”
“How did you know?”
“Master Xiao said it. He said that everyone in the Jinchuan circle knows about Xiao Huaixing’s incident.” Lin Wanli answered her straightforwardly, “Some truths are very cruel. When you can be deceived, I hope that you will be deceived for the rest of your life. However, since you’ve been exposed, I hope you can face the bloody truth directly because running away and deceiving yourself won’t make the problem better. Bullying the person who betrayed you won’t make you kind either.”
“That’s all I have to say. Now, what do you need me to do for you?”
“I want to find out the entanglement between Xiao Huaixing and that celebrity, the purpose of marrying me, and what role the Xiao family plays in it.” Huo Yu’an said, “This week, I want to sort out these few things.”
“And…” Huo Yutan took out the pills and said, “I suspect that Xiao Huaixing drugged me, but I don’t know what the effect of this medicine is.”
“That’s simple. We’ll know after we get someone to investigate. As for the scandals of the artists, it’s not wrong to find the paparazzi in news outlets. However, things in the entertainment industry are complicated. I advise you to prepare all kinds of evidence before you fall out with them, just in case.”
“For example?”
“Have you ever thought that if Xiao Huaixing and that woman are real, then they have been together for a whole eight years, and you are just a third party who came out to steal her love? The audience won’t care if you’ve been cheated or not. They only know that it’s in this order. Then, in this case, you are the one who ruined someone else’s relationship.”
“To be able to become the top actress in the entertainment industry, she must have some tricks up her sleeves. In order to deal with the day when the matter is exposed, you must know how many connections she has planted on social media platforms and how many scenes she has acted in. If you don’t want to lose yourself, you must win this battle beautifully.”
“The most important thing is to get the evidence. Don’t let those fake feelings get in your way. ”
“You have to constantly remind yourself that he has a lover, but that person is not you! “
