“Speaking of which,” Lin Ziqian lowered his head and took a bite of his food before continuing, “Wu Man came home yesterday. It’s not a problem for her to come back often. However, you two have your own lives, so I will take her home tonight. We won’t stay here and cause trouble for the two of you.”

Wu Man was shocked and quickly looked up at her parents. She didn’t come back at all last night. With Lin Ziqian’s words, if her parents raised any more questions, wouldn’t she be exposed?

Wu Man’s parents looked at each other. They had been married for decades and had a good relationship. They knew what the other party was trying to say. Wu Man didn’t come back last night. Looking at Lin Ziqian’s appearance, he didn’t know where Wu Man had gone. But they were husband and wife. Why didn’t the husband know where his wife had gone when she went out?

The old couple kept their mouths shut. Let the young people solve their own problems. It would be wrong to say too much, lest their unintentional words ruin the harmony of their daughter’s family.

The old couple tacitly did not respond. Wu Man glanced at her parents and then said to Lin Ziqian, “I don’t want to go back. I want to stay here for a few more days.”

Ever since they had eaten, she had not given Lin Ziqian any good looks. She had been eating silently with a cold face. At this moment, her face was even colder, and there was anger in her eyes. Lin Ziqian did not know if she had taken the wrong medicine today or what, but he ignored Wu Man, who did not look well. “It’s okay. Then I’ll stay here for two days to accompany you.”

“There’s no need!” Wu Man’s tone was stiff, and there was a hint of impatience on her face.

She couldn’t resist Lin Ziqian’s persuasion. Even though Wu Man clearly didn’t agree with Lin Ziqian staying here, Mother Wu, who didn’t know the situation, arranged for the two of them to stay in the same room for the sake of their daughter’s harmonious relationship.

Wu Man’s head was in a mess. After dinner, she saw Lin Ziqian happily carrying the blanket that Mother Wu gave him into her room. Her anger had reached its peak, and she had nowhere to vent it. This was her bedroom before she got married. It was the place where she had lived since she was young. She felt uncomfortable staying here with a man who had a mistress. Even if she stayed there for a few nights, she would still feel uncomfortable. She tried her best to tell herself to ignore this person. Wu Man walked into her room, but before she could close the door, Lin Ziqian followed her in.

“Is this the room you lived in when you were young?” Lin Ziqian looked around. He looked at the photo on the cabinet and wanted to take it down and rub it.

Wu Man snatched the photo and growled angrily, “Don’t touch my things!”

“Look at what you’re saying. We’re a legal couple. Your things are my things,” Lin Ziqian raised his chin and said righteously. “We’ve been married for so many years. This is the first time I’ve seen a photo of you when you were young. You were quite cute.”

“You don’t have to decide what I do.” Wu Man was very upset. Lin Ziqian’s appearance was like a piece of sticky candy that couldn’t be chased away.

Lin Ziqian wanted to use this opportunity to cultivate a relationship. When the time came, he would use Wu Man to win over the mayor. Facing Wu Man’s dissatisfaction, he simply had an attitude that said, “You can make me pamper you however you want”. If she didn’t know that this man had someone else, she might really be deceived by his facade..
