“I just happened to be on the way.” Li Dongsheng’s words were reasonable and made Wu Man feel relieved.

“To tell you the truth, I was also the one who spoke on the phone just now. Wu Man was afraid that you would misunderstand, so she lied about the voice on TV,” Li Dongsheng added at the right time.

Wu Man was a little surprised. She didn’t expect him to help her cover up the lie, so she was grateful for that.

“I see…” Lin Ziqian looked at the red mark on Wu Man’s hand and said with heartache, “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.”

Wu Man was silent. This late apology was really cheap.

The man’s eyes were full of heartache, but he didn’t make Wu Man cry. She knew that the warmth was just a show for her. There was a knife hidden behind Lin Ziqian’s back, waiting for the right time to strike a fatal blow.

“Don’t blame me. I was too anxious just now.” Seeing that Wu Man did not respond, Lin Ziqian continued, “Can you forgive me?”

Wu man nodded. In fact, she did not have anything else to say. She admitted that she had underestimated this man. Now, she had seen through this man’s hypocritical nature. The more she saw, the more she felt that the time she had spent these few years was not worth it. She had given her most precious youth to this man in front of her, but the latter had abandoned her like a broken shoe. After so many years of love, it could not compare to one sentence from Wang Jiaojiao and her beautiful figure.

With Li Dongsheng’s explanation, the doubts in Lin Ziqian’s heart immediately disappeared. How could the mayor have taken a liking to Wu Man? There were so many people in the office, and there were many good-looking people. There were also many people with good figures. With so many single people, there was no need for him to find a married woman. Moreover, with the mayor’s foresight, he would never take a fancy to a woman who was too tired to meticulously dress herself up for housework.

Wasn’t he also attracted to Wang Jiaojiao because he found Wu Man too boring? Lin Ziqian thought to himself that Wang Jiaojiao’s clothes were very good. Bringing her out or socializing with others would be different. On the other hand, although Wu Man’s family was good, he could not introduce her to outsiders. Lin Ziqian believed that he was not the only one who would choose that. Even if Wang Jiaojiao and Wu Man stood in front of the mayor at the same time and forced the mayor to choose between them, the mayor might still choose the unruly and overbearing Wang Jiaojiao.

Men were all animals that thought with their lower bodies.

Looking at Wu Man’s outfit today, she was wearing a plain shirt. Her regular pants and coat did not make her look very ordinary. Her face was only set off by light makeup. If Wu Man was placed in a crowd, Lin Ziqian might not be able to find her even if he stood on his tiptoes and looked around. However, Wang Jiaojiao was different. When she came to his room yesterday, her clothes were so revealing that he wanted to fight with her until dawn.

“I still have to go to work, so I’ll take my leave first.” While Lin Ziqian’s mind was in turmoil and he was trying to curry favor with Li Dongsheng, Wu Man took the opportunity to interject. Her words stunned the two men at the scene, and Li Dongsheng felt a little reluctant to part with her. Since Lin Ziqian was there, it was not appropriate for him to ask her to stay. Lin Ziqian only realized that Wu Man was still standing on the side after talking for a long time.

However, her standing here did not affect him at all. Lin Ziqian only paused for a short while. He then pulled Li Dongsheng to talk about the world. Li Dongsheng had to answer because of his status, but his eyes were on Wu Man..
