“I asked my assistant to bring some breakfast over. I’ll go to work after I’m full,” Li Dongsheng said as he pulled out a small table from nowhere and placed it on the bed. “It’s on the way. I’ll drive you there later. Don’t worry, you won’t be late.”

Wu Man watched Li Dongsheng skillfully place the breakfast on the table. The aroma of the fried dough sticks and soy milk easily aroused her appetite. She could not help but swallow her saliva. She had to admit that Li Dongsheng had thought of everything thoroughly. The latter even picked up a bowl of porridge, scooped a spoonful, and served it to her mouth only after it cooled down slightly.

Wu Man chose to accept this kindness as compensation for his intentional interjection. What surprised her was that Li Dongsheng was very good at taking care of people. He had done everything he should have done during the meal and served her comfortably after a meal.

Where could she get such good treatment in the Lin Family? She was served leftovers, dishes, and clothes that seemed like they would never be finished.

“Thank you,” Wu Man said after struggling for a while. Li Dongsheng could clearly sense the alienation in Wu Man’s tone.

“We already have that kind of relationship. Do you still need to be polite between us?” Li Dongsheng chuckled. After Wu Man finished packing up, he drove her to the office again in the low-key car.

Wu Man looked at the familiar building and heard Li Dongsheng’s words before she opened the car door. “I’ll pick you up after work tonight. How about we go for a meal together?”

Wu Man’s breathing stopped. What was the difference between this and a date? Even if she wanted to get a divorce, she did not want to have an ambiguous relationship with any man in the short term. She looked at the busy office entrance. Li Dongsheng parked the car very close to it. After thinking about it for a while, Wu Man made up her mind. She bit her lower lip and said, “I said, that’s it.”

The smile on Li Dongsheng’s face froze. “What did you say?”

“I said, I don’t want to continue this relationship anymore.” She suddenly turned around, taking advantage of the moment when she had gathered her courage to get hot-blooded. She said each word clearly, “Don’t come looking for me anymore. I’m already married. There’s no possibility between us!”

“But your husband is not good to you,” Li Dongsheng looked straight into her eyes and said sincerely.

“That’s my own business.” In the end, Wu Man didn’t say it too harshly. She was afraid that she would offend him too much. If she didn’t get what she wanted, killing her would be easier than Lin Ziqian’s methods.

Li Dongsheng didn’t say anything and just looked at her. Li Dongsheng’s eyes were too gentle, making Wu Man feel that what she said just now was unreasonable. But Wu Man’s expression was resolute, as if she would not leave if he did not agree.

She had to make this matter clear! 

Li Dongsheng heard Wu Man earnestly give a long speech in front of him, saying that it would not end well if he messed with a married woman and so on, advising him to stop the loss in time and to stop contacting her. But Li Dongsheng did not say anything and only looked at her gently.

“Are you listening to what I just said?” Wu Man asked him. When she spoke, Li Dongsheng still had a gentle smile on his face. He stared at her without blinking and did not react to her words.

“I’m listening.” Li Dongsheng’s expression did not change. “I understand what you mean, and I respect your opinion. But if you really encounter any problems, come and find me. Don’t force yourself to handle it on your own.”

He was not worried at all when Wu Man said that they would never see each other again. As long as she was with Lin Ziqian, Wu Man, who was being suppressed and ostracized, would not be able to live without his help. The relationship between the two would only grow deeper and deeper and would not be severed just like that. So, he just had to wait and see. He would never give up..
