Seeing that his wife ignored him, Li Mu teased her with his hand and said angrily, “I am talking to you. Don’t pretend to be dumb. Tell me quickly. Why do you want to go to work?”

“You are not sincere. I don’t need your pretension.”

Lin Wan grumbled, rolling her eyes at her husband.

“I am sincere. I am just pretending to be calm because I am afraid that you will complain about my machismo again. Since you don’t care, then I must get to the bottom of it. Tell me quickly.”

“Do you really want to know?”

“Yes, I want to know!”

“Alright, I’ll tell you then. Our school has a new vice-principal. He is not only young and handsome but also has a very good personality. He asked me to go back to teach the choir, and I have already promised him.”

Upon hearing that, Li Mu’s face darkened, and he was not pretending this time.

“Are you going back just because he is handsome and has a very good personality? Are you fr**king in your right mind?”

“Oh, it’s not like that. I am not going back because of him.”

“No matter what the reason is, I don’t allow you to go back!”

“Honey, please don’t get me wrong. I am going back because I don’t want to have any regrets. The choir I taught has already reached the finals. I want to finish what I have started and draw a perfect end to my teaching career.”

“Didn’t you say that he is handsome and has a very good personality?” Li Mu asked unhappily.

“Yes, I said that, but I don’t mean anything else. I just want to say that he is not Wu Heping, so he will not deliberately make things difficult for me. Therefore, I will not be bullied after I go back.”

“What do you mean? Has Wu Heping bullied you before?”

“No, no, I am just making an analogy. Well, let’s put it this way. I should feel more comfortable when I go back this time.”

Li Mu’s face became even gloomier as he said peculiarly, “Yes, of course, you will feel comfortable when you are working with such a young and handsome vice-principal.”

“Why are you making something out of nothing? Is there something wrong with your brain?” Lin Wan said in a displeased tone.

“Yes, I am making something out of nothing. There is something wrong with my brain. Then how do you expect me to react? Do you want me to encourage you to date that vice-principal?”

“You… Okay, it’s all my fault. I’m the one picking a quarrel. I should have ignored your narrow-mindedness.”

Li Mu slammed his hand on the table and stood up from the chair. Then, he lifted the door curtain and walked out.

Before he left, he said, “Enjoy the meal yourself. I’m not hungry!”

Lin Wan was very satisfied. Playing tricks on her husband was her greatest pleasure. Seeing him got jealous and got mad because of her made her felt extremely pleased.

This might be the initial symptom of home phobia. Although Lin Wan had not officially become a full-time housewife, she was already worried that her husband would stop paying attention to her after her vitality gradually decreased.

Li Mu was indifferent when Lin Wan told him that she was going back to work today, which made her very angry. She thought that he was starting to ignore her. This was a situation that she absolutely could not accept. Therefore, she had to deliberately tease her husband.

Of course, she must know the limits. If she made her husband too mad, the loss might outweigh the gain.

Lin Wan hurriedly chased after her husband and dragged him back.

“Honey, are you really mad? It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t purposely anger you. Don’t worry. In my eyes, you are the most handsome man in this world. No one can compare to you.”

“Is he really not the reason that you are going back?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t even know who he is. I said that just to piss you off because you neglected me. Since you dared to neglect me, I just pissed you off!”

Lin Wan had gotten what she wanted. She had successfully played a trick on her husband once again, which had totally pissed him off. However, she had also paid a painful price for it.

In any case, Li Mu didn’t agree to let his wife go back to the school to work. He forced her to complete the resignation procedures immediately. Li Mu had felt a sense of crisis and didn’t want his wife to get involved with that young and handsome vice-principal.

Lin Wan had no choice but to promise her husband that she would complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful. It was already terrible that her career was going to end. Why did she do that? She obviously knew that her husband was a big jealously jar. Why was she still stirring up his jealousness?

She couldn’t do this again next time. However, when she saw that her husband was jealous because of her, her heart was extremely ecstatic. No, she could not let him go in her life.

Wang Shen didn’t know about these changes. He didn’t expect that Ms. Lin would go back on her promise after bickering with her husband.

He sat in the office pondering for a long time, with an intriguing smile on his face.

A soft melody sounded, and Wang Shen picked up the phone on the table.

“Hello, uncle, what’s the matter?”

“Are you convenient to talk now?”

“Yes, please go ahead!”

The man on the other end of the line asked, “Have you met Ms. Lin? How is it? Is that woman easy to deal with?”

“Yes, that woman is full of charm. I finally understand why Nan did that, but he is indeed an idiot. Lin Wan is very easy to deal with. You just need to be a little more patient and wait for a chance.”

“Do you also have that kind of thought? You’d better remember what Mr. Gou said. His golden words make sense.”

Wang Shen chuckled softly, which made him look even more charming.

“Uncle, can you trust your family member instead of your partner? I believe we don’t have to argue about who is more reliable, right?”

“Kid, you’d better not play with fire. You have also seen what had happened to Nan. Don’t do anything that will put yourself at risk!” the man warned in a serious manner.

“Uncle, am I that kind of b*st*rd? Don’t worry. I will treat her with sincerity and love her passionately. Even if she doesn’t accept me, she wouldn’t hurt me.”

The man fell silent for a while and did not continue the topic. Obviously, he had acquiesced to his nephew’s plan.

Perhaps, deep in his heart, he thought there was nothing wrong with it. All men love beautiful women. It was normal for his nephew to behave this way.

Even if Lin Wan didn’t agree, his nephew would also take the opportunity to bring their relationship closer. In any case, his nephew would have nothing to lose.

“I will leave this matter to you. I have made all the arrangements for the singing competition. After the finals, you can rest assured that your school’s choir will definitely be ranked in the top three.”

“Thank you, uncle. Also, there is one thing I would like to trouble you.”

“What is it?”

“Can you ask the organizing committee to add a Best Coaching Award? I want to personally present this award to Lin Wan at the award ceremony.”

The man laughed and cursed, “You brat. You have so many tricks up your sleeve. No wonder everyone calls you a chick magnet. Alright, leave this thing to me.”

After putting down the phone, Wang Shen happily went for lunch. After coming back from lunch, he took a short rest, then dressed himself up, and waited for the prey to arrive.

He was very confident that with his charm, he would be able to capture that beauty’s heart.

Although what Mr. Gou had said made sense, it was too inefficient. Wang Shen believed that the fastest way to make a woman trust him was to become her lover.

This was the most efficient method for him to win a woman’s heart. Once a woman had given her body to you, she would often give you her heart as well, unless she was a shameless slut.

Wang Shen had already met Lin Wan. From the way she spoke and carried herself, he concluded that this was a good woman that was very rare to find nowadays. She was not only beautiful and enchanting but also sincere and kind. Taking her down was equivalent to winning her heart.

Unfortunately, Lin Wan didn’t show up till the end of the choir training. She had just promised in the morning, but she broke her words in the afternoon. That was really fast! This made Wang Shen involuntarily doubted himself.

At the private detective agency, the boss was listening to Zhou Zijian’s report.

“Boss, I think Wu Heping’s death may have something to do with Lin Wan.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Half a month ago, Lin Wan went to Nanyun Resort Hotel for a dinner gathering. Su also followed her and found that she had gone to Room 209. Just when he wanted to get close to that private room, he was driven away by the waiter.”

“Su especially took a look around before he left. There were no guests seated in the rooms near that private room. However, guests were eating normally in the rooms that were located a little further away from it. It was as if someone had deliberately isolated Private Room 209.”

“This doesn’t prove anything. Do you have any other evidence?”

Zhou Zijian nodded and replied, “Yes, we continued to keep a close watch over them downstairs. Lin Wan came out about half an hour later. She looked very angry and was talking on the phone.”

“After a while, Wu Heping ran down nervously and hurriedly went to another restaurant. I sent Han upstairs to inquire about the situation and found that someone was carrying two young waiters out of the Private Room 209.”

The boss squinted his eyes and was quite surprised by what he had heard.

“Do you know what happened?”

“No, I don’t know what happened. These two people were already dead. We found out through our connections with the hospital that both of them died from myocardial infarction, a natural death.

“It’s interesting that they both died from myocardial infarction at such a young age. Please continue.”

“We divided the work. I monitored Lin Wan. Han and Su went and monitored Wu Heping. Each of us has found some interesting situations.”

The boss motioned him to stop for a moment and took out two cigars from the drawer. Then, he threw one of them to Zhou Zijian and stuck the other one into his mouth.

Zhou Zijian quickly got up, lit his cigar for him, and then lit his. The two men took a deep breath and spat out a cloud of smoke.

The boss nodded at him. Upon seeing that, the latter understood and continued, “I discovered that there was a strange man who should know Lin Wan. Lin Wan seemed to be very afraid when that man called out a name, Lin Dantong. She just ran off without responding after hearing that name.”

“She ran off?”

“Yes, she ran off in a fluster. I have never seen her react like this before.”

“That is to say, Lin Dantong is her real name. This discovery is very important. Have you found out about that man’s background?”

“Yes, he is the sales director of the business department of Dongyang Group’s Quest Mobile and a colleague of Lin Wan’s husband. He has just come to Shanyang recently.”

“What is his background?” the boss asked.

“We are still investigating. Based on the current information that we have got so far, he has a very powerful background. He is the eldest son of an influential family. He must have a purpose in Shanyang this time, but I don’t think it has anything to do with Lin Wan. He must met Lin Wan by accident. I believe he didn’t know beforehand that Lin Wan was also in Shanyang.”
