Seven o’clock, in the Lin Family’s living room.

Mother Lin had just walked into the living room when she heard Father Lin’s furious outburst at the dining table.

“This Lin Wanli is really an evil person who came to collect debts!”

Mother Lin was shocked when she heard her daughter’s name. She subconsciously knew that her daughter had caused trouble again. She hurriedly walked up to Father Lin and helped him calm down.

“I got it. Let the public relations department inform the media and suppress the matter first.” Father Lin instructed over the phone. Then, he hung up angrily.

“What happened now? It’s Mom’s birthday today, and you’re already angry so early in the morning.”

“It was about yesterday’s incident, the media said that our good daughter rushed to give us gifts as soon as she came back and offended all the guests on the forum today.” Father Lin rubbed his temples as he felt a headache. “Xueyi, do you know how hard it was for me? Why was it that after two years, she still hadn’t improved at all, and the entire family had to clean up her mess?”

“But… Yesterday’s incident was not Ah Li’s fault.”

“Even so, how can you let your family’s dirty laundry out? Besides, I’m worried about her too. Am I wrong as a father?” Father Lin could not take it anymore and shouted at Lin Xueyi. However, after shouting, he realized that Lin Xueyi could not take it anymore and coaxed her, “Darling, I’m just angry. Don’t think too much about it.”

“But today is Mom’s birthday. Are you really not going to let Ah Li go?”

“Now that things have become like this, she will only make Mom unhappy. Moreover, we still have to coax that rich son of the financial group today. Don’t let her appear.”

Mother Lin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Father Lin patted her shoulder and said anxiously, “I still have a meeting in the morning. Be good and dress up at home. I’ll leave first.”

Mother Lin sighed. At this moment, she felt extremely conflicted.

However, Father Lin’s expression changed drastically when he stepped out of the house.

“This mother-daughter pair is getting harder and harder to please.”

…

Of course, Lin Wanli had arranged for Yan Qiu to expose the incident. Was it not a good time to find trouble early in the morning? The Old Madam probably could not celebrate her birthday in peace today!

It was eight o’clock in the morning, and the morning light was dazzling.

After Lin Wanli washed Youyou up, she wanted to knock on Huo Jiuxiao’s door. This person had been sleeping since yesterday, would anything have happened. But when she stood in front of Huo Jiuxiao’s door, she remembered that he did not seem to hear her at all.

So she gave Song Huaishu a call.

“Does your Master Xiao not eat or drink when he sleeps?”

“President Lin, Master Xiao will naturally find food when he wakes up. You don’t have to worry about him. Even though he cannot hear, he always said that it is too noisy. Moreover, whenever he went to crowded places and stayed for a few hours, he would have to sleep for a few days when he came back. Moreover, he had a headache.” Song Huaishu explained over the phone.

Lin Wanli hung up the phone and sighed.

She did not know what it felt like to be deaf for a long time. She felt uncomfortable just by covering her ears slightly. Therefore, it was normal for him to have some quirks and even some psychological problems, right?

[Can’t you open the door for me to see?]

Inside the house, Huo Jiuxiao, who was engulfed by darkness, was once again haunted by nightmares. In the long tunnel, the sound of a car speeding in pursuit could be heard. He was about to hit the overloaded truck in front of him, but a clear female voice pulled him back in time.

After the commotion, Huo Jiuxiao found his breath again.

Then, he lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He opened the door and pulled the person who was about to turn around into his arms.

“I’ve opened the door, and then?”

Lin Wanli was stunned and was about to answer when Huo Jiuxiao suddenly kissed her heavily and fiercely. Lin Wanli was almost dragged into his bedroom.

But what could he do? If he kissed her, the world would be quiet.

[Pain …]

Huo Jiuxiao only stopped when he heard Lin Wanli’s voice. He pressed her against the wall and said, “Don’t you know you can’t mess with men in the morning?”

Lin Wanli blushed and her makeup was smudged. She looked at him and said seriously, “I’m going out. I just wanted to make sure that you didn’t need anything.”

Huo Jiuxiao averted his gaze and forced himself to calm down. He then returned to his bed and said, “What if I need you to lie on it?”
