国产三级农村妇女系列

“How do you even know that word?” Li Zexin looked at his younger brother who was gloating.

“Brother.” Li Zexin turned to Li Zexuan. “You treat Ms. Lin like that too, you know?”

“Li Zexuan looked straight ahead. “Mr. Li likes her. You can’t disobey Mr. Li after all.”

!!

Li Zexin rolled his eyes at Li Zexuan. “Tsk…”

Li Zexuan was silent for a while. “Her words. She always says, “I am leaving!” or “I am back!”. It’s so annoying… but it’s also the best words I get to hear.”

Lin Wan always informed them when she went out and when she was coming back home. Li Yanchen never did that. He had never heard their father talk to them before he went on his business trips. They always heard it from Assistant Qin. Maybe because they lived in the school hostel, their father ever saw the need to meet them before he went away.

Li Yanchen’s whereabouts were always uncertain. Sometimes, when they came back for the holidays they would run into their father at home. Other times, they wouldn’t see him for months. Li Yanchen would not explain, and they would not ask either.

Li Zexin mimicked Lin Wan. “I am leaving! Don’t follow me! I am going to go up to my room to rest. Don’t disturb me!”

Lin Wan’s arrival had revived the gloomy atmosphere in the Li family.

Li Zekai laughed. “Brother, you are too good!”

On the second floor of the villa, the alarm rang at eight in the morning and woke Lin Wan. She was sprawled on the bed, struggling to get up.

After half an hour of internal struggle, Lin Wan decided to go downstairs for a walk.

Li Zekai stared at the bowl of noodles they had packed for Lin Wan. He touched it from time to time. “It’s not warm anymore! Why hasn’t Auntie Lin come down?”

Li Zexin was doing his homework on the coffee table. He heard his younger brother mutter. “God! Why don’t you just go up and call her? Stop whining.”

“Why don’t you go and call her then?”

“Madam.” Auntie Huang was cleaning the stairs when she saw Lin Wan coming down. She moved to the side.

Li Zekai jumped up from his chair. “Auntie, we bought some noodles for you!”

Lin Wan narrowed her eyes. She opened her mouth slightly. “Oh?”

“Madam, the young masters went out early in the morning to get some breakfast. They said that they met Du Xing along the way who insisted on treating them to some food. So, they ate a lot and packed a lot of food. They ripped her off her money. Du Xing couldn’t even enter the neighborhood and left in a huff,” explained Auntie Huang.

Lin Wan pinched Li Zekai’s cheeks softly. “Du Xing still hasn’t left?”

“She’s probably leaving now with her luggage for good. She insisted on buying us food,” said Li Zexin. “Brother is the smartest! A bowl of these noodles cost around 188 yuan. We bought around five of them.”

Lin Wan knew that Du Xing had ill intentions. Yang Ruoxi was right when she said it wasn’t easy to be a running-dog. Lin Wan finally understood what she meant. Even if Lin Wan and Li Yanchen’s marriage was a mutual agreement, it was still binding under the law. ‘If his sister-in-law openly poached him, wouldn’t it be too unsightly of her to do so?’

Lin Wan was amused. ‘Well, she asked for it. The noodles must be delicious.’

…

A strong wind blew in the West City. A storm was coming.

After sleeping for four hours at the hotel, Li Yanchen did not even bother to eat. He asked Secretary Ha to drive him to the airport for the flight.

He had arranged for Assistant Qin to drive Lin Wan to Xia Mo’s shop in the afternoon. However, he reached Yun City airport at two in the afternoon so he texted Assistant Qin to ask about her, hoping to meet her before she left for the shop.

Meanwhile, Lin Wan didn’t want to stare at her stepsons all day, so after lunch she had asked Assistant Qin to drive her to Xia Mo’s shop early this time.

Assistant Qin saw his boss’s text and replied, “Madam already left.”

“Then go back to the company and prepare for the meeting at three.” Li Yanchen frowned and turned to Secretary Han. “Let’s go to Chenxin.”

At The Sweetheart Inn, Xia Mo joked that ever since her stepsons had returned Lin Wan was more active at work. “Are you trying to make more money to raise your children?”

Lin Wan laid on the sofa, feeling like she had nothing to live for. “It’s too noisy at home now.”

“What about the interview? Have you thought about it?” Xia Mo asked, sitting down on the sofa beside her.

“I want to settle the reunion first before I think about it.” Lin Wan rubbed her temples and sat up.

As soon as the Sweet Little Circle went live, 5000 people joined in a few seconds.

[Yes! It’s on.]

[I even dream of Xiao Huan’s lips when I sleep. She must be a beauty.]

[Sister, give us a big surprise on Chinese Valentine’s Day.]

“Don’t force me. I will only show my face when I absolutely feel like it.”

Lin Wan’s eyes were on the bullet screen. She prepared the dough. When she was kneading the flour, her elbow knocked the camera which got tilted and exposed Xia Mo’s face.

Xia Mo was shocked. She held up a baking tray to cover her face.

Lin Wan quickly turned off the live stream in panic and adjusted the angle of the camera. When she turned on the live stream again, the netizens had already taken a screenshot.

[Ah, it’s Xia Mo! It’s really Xia Mo!]

[No, look! Xia Mo isn’t Xiao Huan. Xia Mo’s lipstick is red. Xia Mo is just an assistant.]

[I was wondering how Xia Mo was copying the recipe so fast! It’s because she has been baking together with Xiao Huan!]

[But who is Xiao Huan then? She is hiding in Xia Mo’s shop!]

[Xia Mo, please tell us!]

“I’m sorry.” Xia Mo and Lin Wan broke out in a cold sweat.

The netizens who lived near the shop decided to visit it. They knew that if they could reach the shop fast enough, they would find the person who wore pink clothes and pink lipstick. They could finally find out who Xiao Haun was.

[So, the secret lies within The Sweetheart Inn!]

It instantly became a hot topic on the headlines.

[Let’s all go to The Sweetheart Inn! Everyone, keep an eye out.]

[But Xiao Huan probably doesn’t want to be discovered. That is the whole reason why she always does the live stream anonymously. Isn’t it wrong for everyone to just rush to the shop and force her to reveal herself?]

...

[I won’t surround them. I just want to know. I won’t even make a sound.]

[Yes. I am just curious as well.]

[Then let’s promise. We won’t disturb or approach her when we see her.]

Li Zexuan jumped up with his phone in his hand when he saw the news.

“It’s Ms. Lin! She was wearing pink lipstick and pink clothes!” He was worried now. If he knew this, the netizens would surely recognize her too!

‘If everyone was planning to go to The Sweetheart Inn, wouldn’t Lin Wan’s identity be compromised, especially if she doesn’t want to reveal herself?’

She had hidden her true identity and streamed anonymously because she did not want to be recognized. Li Zexuan didn’t understand why she wanted to hide her talent, but she must have her own reasons for doing so. He had to help Lin Wan.

Lin Wan was still on the live stream and did not see the headlines. She did not expect the netizens to come and surround her.

Li Zexuan called Lin Wan a few times, but she didn’t answer. He was even more certain now that the anonymous live streamer was Lin Wan. He dialed Li Yanchen’s number.

After the meeting, Li Yanchen was discussing things with Secretary Han. When he saw his eldest son’s name flash on his phone, he accepted the call and put him on speaker.

“Bad news. Are you still in the office?” Li Zexuan asked.
