Even if he heard the man’s voice on the phone, he could not determine the identity of the man, let alone whether Wu Man had really betrayed him! The more Lin Ziqian thought about it, the angrier he got. The man beside Wu Man made him feel uneasy. The situation that was out of his control, coupled with the fact that he was reluctant to leave Wu Man, made Lin Ziqian look extremely pale.

What was the difference between marrying Wang Jiaojiao and offering her to his ancestors? Lin Ziqian thought to himself. He and Wang Jiaojiao were just playing around. If he really forced Wu Man to divorce him, what would he do if she found out that he was impotent on his wedding night with Wang Jiaojiao? If he played with Wang Jiaojiao like this, would the Lin family suffer? Thinking of this, Lin Ziqian became even more resentful, accompanied by a deep sense of panic.

His parents did not know that he had a hidden illness, and neither did others. For so many years, Wu Man had taken into account the fact of their relationship and did not make it public, but that did not mean that she would keep his secret after the divorce! Therefore, no matter what, he could not let Wu Man leave! Moreover, with a gentle and virtuous wife who could cook at home, Lin Ziqian would rather die than marry an unruly woman. When that time came, the Lin family would be restricted by others everywhere, and they would be at the mercy of Wang Jiaojiao!

Lin Ziqian’s heart was in a mess. Meanwhile, Wu Man, who had hung up the phone, also went to Li Dongsheng to settle the score earlier.

“Why did you interrupt on purpose?” she said unhappily. As she spoke, she reached out her hand to grab the neatly folded clothes by Li Dongsheng. For a moment, she was at a loss for words. After a pause, she said with a hint of anger, “You clearly know that the person on the phone is my husband.”

“So what? What are you worried about?”Li Dongsheng gently helped her button her shirt and comforted her gently. “I’m not afraid of Lin Ziqian. Even if he comes looking for me in the next second, you don’t have to worry.”

He helped her adjust her collar and continued, “Don’t be afraid of him. If you’ve been wronged, you can tell me. I’ll make the decision for you.”

Wu Man wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She wanted to flare up, but she couldn’t say anything because of the palm movement in front of her. When she thought about how Lin Ziqian had almost found out that it was all because of Li Dongsheng, she was even angrier and wanted to leave quickly.

So what if Li Dongsheng said that he would protect her? A man’s mouth was full of lies. Didn’t Lin Ziqian promise that they would be together for the rest of their lives? He said all kinds of romantic words, but in the end, he still had a mistress by his side, and he could still call her to ask if she had cheated on him! Moreover, even if Li Dongsheng was serious, as the mayor of a city, how long could he protect her?

The Lin family had power and influence, and now they had Wang Jiaojiao’s support. If they really joined forces, they could easily put him in a desperate situation.

Li Dongsheng’s words had caused trouble, but she herself had to bear the pressure and clean up the mess. She stood up and held her breath in front of his chest. Wu Man almost snapped out of it and staggered to the side of the bed. She was about to fall to the ground when Li Dongsheng pulled her into his arms again.

“How could you be so careless?” Li Dongsheng smiled helplessly. “Stay a little longer.”

“What are you doing?” Wu Man broke free from his embrace and sat by the bed to keep a distance from him. “I’m going to work.”

“It’s still early. Why don’t you eat before you leave?” Li Dongsheng invited her.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door. Wu Man did not know who was outside the door, but her heart suddenly tightened. She grabbed her jacket in a panic and put on her pants, ready to fight. Li Dongsheng patted her head and opened the door wearing only a bathrobe. It seemed like it was a deliverer.

Wu Man hugged herself nervously and looked carefully at the door. She watched Li Dongsheng close the door after taking a big bag of things from the person at the door. He smiled at her and said, “What are you waiting for? Come and eat..”
