After learning that Wu Man had returned to the Lin family, Li Dongsheng was furious. He drove directly to the Lin family’s apartment building. When he arrived, it was already nine o’clock in the evening. No matter how much Wu Man loitered outside, she had to go home. At that moment, the phone rang. She glanced at the name on the screen and hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.
She could not understand why Li Dongsheng would call her at this hour? They were clearly… no longer related, right?
“Come downstairs. I’ll wait for you downstairs.” Li Dongsheng’s voice still sounded calm, but if Li Dongsheng’s assistant was present, he would definitely be able to tell that this was a sign of his mayor’s anger.
Wu Man immediately agreed. After hanging up the phone, she put on her clothes and prepared to go out. Lin Ziqian, who was playing with his phone, suddenly raised his head and asked her, “Where are you going?”
Wu Man, who had her back to him, was very unhappy. She said perfunctorily, “I’m going downstairs for a walk.” After saying that, she closed the door without waiting for Lin Ziqian to continue asking.
Lin Ziqian was cautious. Wu Man had never had the habit of taking a walk after a meal. He lit a cigarette and stood by the window to look down. From the south window of the living room, he could see the situation on the road not far below. He saw Wu Man exit the unit door and walk straight out.
An expensive Maybach was parked by the side of the road. Without hesitation, Wu Man opened the door of the passenger seat and sat down. Lin Ziqian immediately became suspicious.
After Wu Man sat in the seat, Li Dongsheng was not in a hurry to drive. Instead, he turned around and asked Wu Man, “Why did you go back to the Lin Family?”
While asking, he unconsciously clenched his hands that were on the steering wheel.
Wu Man opened her mouth. She wanted to say how Lin Ziqian threatened her, but the words that came to her mouth were, “You and I are not related. Why have I been staying at your place?”
As soon as she said that, she saw that Li Dongsheng had a pained expression on his face. At the same time, there was also a hint of disappointment. However, what really broke Li Dongsheng’s defense was what Wu Man said next, “We’re not divorced yet. Lin Ziqian is still my husband. It should be very logical for a wife to go home.”
She could not restrain herself from saying these words, but she had no intention of retracting them. She knew that sooner or later, she would have to draw a line between herself and Li Dongsheng. Li Dongsheng tiredly put one hand on his head and looked at Wu Man from the corner of his eyes. Wu Man was sitting in the passenger seat, looking straight ahead without even looking at him. Her eyes revealed a determination that he could not understand.
He could not suppress his anger, but to prevent scaring her, he still did not use a stern tone to talk to her. He could only grit his teeth and say each word. He squeezed out the question he wanted to ask. “Did he take advantage of you?”
“Tell me, did Lin Ziqian touch you?!” He was like an angry trapped beast. Facing his lover, he had offered his heart to her, but he had been hurt by her.
Wu Man did not answer. She turned her head away and looked silently at the night outside the window. Seeing that Wu Man did not speak, Li Dongsheng did not say a word and stomped heavily on the gas pedal. He drove all the way back to the house he had prepared for Wu Man. The expression on Wu Man’s face finally relaxed. She looked at Li Dongsheng, who was silent because of his anger, and inexplicably felt a sense of fear..
