“Alright, I can teach you. I’ll teach you ninety percent of the Kung Fu skills I know. Don’t worry. It’s totally free of charge!”
“Why ninety percent? Why are you hiding the rest of it from me? We’re married. How could you be that stingy to me?”
“Wait. How forgetful are you? Don’t you remember that we’ve divorced because you asked to? I’m your ex-wife. How are we married in any way?”
Lin Wan’s mocking embarrassed Li Mu so much that he could only argue irrationally. “Even if we’re not husband and wife, we’re still good friends, right? And you shouldn’t hide things from your friends. Teach me everything!”
“Impossible!” Lin Wan rejected him without hesitation, “The ten percent left is for backup. I can’t teach it to you!”
“Backup? What do you want to do?”
“To beat you up! If you disobey me in the future, I’ll beat the crap out of you! If I teach you everything I know, I’m worried I can’t defeat you anymore!”
Li Mu would’ve cursed at her if it hadn’t been for the sake of his fear of being beaten up. However, he still couldn’t hold his temper back and pointed at the door, “Get the hell out now!”
Lin Wan ignored him and looked at him cheekily for almost ten minutes.
“Honey, do you know? When I first hit you, I was so nervous and felt so bad for you! But when I hit you for the second time, I started to feel numb and felt nothing. In the end I got more and more excited as I hit you. I’m not the weak wife you can bully anytime anymore. I can finally get my own way and be my own boss!”
Li Mu who was going to be in tears closed his eyes.
Lin Wan laughed delicately and kissed him on his lips. “Don’t be so hot-tempered! I’m just kidding! I can never have the heart to beat you again. I felt so bad when I beat you up that day. I don’t want to feel that way anymore.”
“Don’t beat me up ever again!”
“Well, of course! I’ll never beat you up again. But bear in mind to not challenge my limits! Or else, I can’t promise you that I won’t beat you up again!”
“You mentioned there was something you’d like to tell me just now. Go on!”
“Oops, I almost forgot! Here. Have a look at it yourself!”
Lin Wan passed Li Mu the bag as he asked curiously, “What is this?”
“Take a look at it!”
Li Mu fished out the jewelry box and understood what was going on right after he opened it. He couldn’t help but asked, “What is this? You got back the gift you gave to them?”
“Yeah! The two of them set me up and ruined my marriage. They don’t deserve this gift at all. Of course I had to get it back from them!”
“Did you go meet them again?” Li Mu asked furiously.
“No. No. It was Mrs. Hong who handled all this for me. I hate them to death. How on earth would I still want to meet them?”
Lin Wan comforted her ex-husband out of habit before it dawned upon her that they were divorced. She said angrily, “Why are you yelling at me? I’m not your wife anyway. I have the right to meet whoever I want! Who do you think you are to control who I meet?”
Li Mu realized what he said and acted casually. “I’m not trying to control you. It’s just that I’m worried you’ll be at loss. Especially that little girl. She’s totally a drama queen! I’m worried that you’ll fall into another trap like how you did before if you’re not cautious enough!”
“Don’t worry. They’ll never have the chance to set me up anymore. It’s already a miracle for them to be alive now. Don’t even mention about setting me up.”
Lin Wan didn’t give a d*mn. Shocked, Li Mu took some time to get back to his senses. However, he decided to play smart and not ask what really happened to the two of them.
After knowing Lin Wan’s true identity, he knew very well that those who’ve offended her would never have a happy ending. Lu Fangliang and his daughter had most possibly paid the price for what they’ve did. However, they could only blame themselves for everything they’re in right now. Li Mu really couldn’t care less.
“You’re asking them to return a gift you’ve gifted them earlier? This is not the manners of a generous lady.” Li Mu asked both seriously and jokingly.
“It doesn’t work like that. It doesn’t matter how expensive the gift is if the other party is a true friend. But I don’t want to spend even a single cent on someone who set me up. I’m not that generous. I can’t treat my enemies well when they treated me otherwise.”
Li Mu nodded. He was happy with what Lin Wan said. He had always yearned to see her completely cutting off ties with Lu Fangliang and her daughter.
To be honest, he was always worried that Lin Wan would not cut off ties with that little girl. If that really was the case, he would never remarry Lin Wan even if it meant being beaten to death by her.
“If you were aware that they had ill intentions but still didn’t cut off ties with them, what were you trying to imply? Why did you still want to be in a relationship with someone who set you up and ruined your marriage?” Li Mu thought to himself.
“If that's the case, it would be better to not remarry than have a huge quarrel in the future. It’d be better to just live our own lives. I’ll marry Xiaoyu and you’ll go be that kid’s stepmother. Let’s breakup and move on with our own lives!”
Li Mu played with the necklace for a while before putting it away and returning it to Lin Wan.
“It's really exquisite. I’m not too good in stuffs like this but it does looks pretty fancy. Keep it. You can gift it to others later!”
Lin Wan took the necklace out again and put it on her palms. Calmly, she looked at Li Mu and asked softly, “Don't you want it?”
“No!”
Lin Wan shook her head sadly and raised her hand without warning, as if she was about to throw it to the ground.
Li Mu’s eyes were focused on her ever since she had asked that question. When he saw that she was about to release her anger by hurling the necklace, he hurriedly grabbed her arm.
“What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?”
“I'll throw it away if you don't want it. It's that simple!”
“I want it. It’s worth fifty-eight million! Why not? I'll take it!”
Lin Wan laughed heartily, “Didn’t you say you don't want it?”
“I’ll have it for the sake of my parents! You can gift it to them. I’m sure they’ll be overjoyed!”
Lin Wan's eyes lit up. This was a great idea. After all, this necklace had a special story behind it. Hence it was understandable that her husband was reluctant to wear it. But giving it to her in-laws would solve this problem. Plus, she could also use it as a form of honor and respect. So it would be a win-win.
She nodded her head and agreed profusely while complimenting her husband on how smart he was.
“Honey, you're so clever. I'll do as you say and give the necklace to them. There’s exactly one for each of them. What about the small one left though? Do you have any more ideas?”
“You fool. Leave that for our baby girl as her birthday present!”
Lin Wan nodded shyly and was delighted. Suddenly she exclaimed, “Ah!”
This exclaim was so sudden that it startled Li Mu. And even He Xiaoyu who was in the corridor heard it clearly. She hurriedly pushed the door open and rushed in, asking nervously, “What's wrong? What happened?”
Li Mu also asked her what was wrong, while Lin Wan said nervously, “I haven't had my period for some time now!”
What period? Li Mu didn't quite get it. But He Xiaoyu knew what she meant immediately. Her heart dropped, as a bad feeling emerged in her head.
“How long has it delayed?” Panicked, she asked.
“Definitely more than a month. This won’t do. I'll go do a checkup now!”
Lin Wan stood up and was about to go out when Li Mu finally understood what was going on. He hurriedly called out, “Wait. I'll go with you!”
He Xiaoyu hurriedly held him down and scolded, “Nonsense. Your wound hasn’t healed yet. You must rest in bed now. I will accompany her!”
The two women left the ward in a hurry. And Li Mu lied on the bed with anticipation. He was unable to say what kind of emotions he was feeling now. He was excited, yet worried. He also sensed a hint of fear.
“It’s strange though. Why the fear? Am I afraid of becoming a father or am I not ready to be one yet?” He thought.
Shaking his head, Li Mu forced himself not to think too much. He fixed his gaze on the door of the ward, hoping for Lin Wan to be back soon.
Time passes slowly whenever you’re waiting. Li Mu who was lying on the hospital bed and unable to move was so anxious that every minute was a torture to him.
After a full hour had passed, Lin Wan returned in tears with the test results. Upon entering the ward, she threw herself directly onto Li Mu who couldn't help but let out a stifled grunt.
Lin Wan hurriedly got up and leaned towards the pillow. She hugged Li Mu's head and choked back a sob, “Honey, a baby. We're having a baby!”
“Let me see the report!” Li Mu shouted excitedly.
Lin Wan held up the test results and looked at it with him. The results were clearly written black and white: early intrauterine pregnancy!
Li Mu did not understand what these words meant until Lin Wan explained to him. It turned out that a pregnancy that was earlier than 12 weeks was considered an early pregnancy, which was a very common medical term.
So he really did have his own child now! Li Mu grinned and couldn't help but kiss Lin Wan passionately.
He Xiaoyu sighed and walked out of the ward with a sullen look.
She knew that her chances were slim. In fact, she had no hope anymore.
Li Mu was a responsible man who would certainly choose to remarry Lin Wan for the sake of the child's happiness. This unborn child had already tied the knot of his biological parents tightly together.
Li Mu and Lin Wan were so excited by the news of the baby that they almost cried with each other. However, when Li Mu immediately asked her to remarry him, Lin Wan rejected him!
Li Mu was completely baffled by her actions. What did she mean? So did she want to get back together with him? Why were her words and actions so inconsistent? He was completely confused. What kind of scheme she was playing?
Lin Wan calmed down and told him calmly, “I won't choose to remarry because of the child. On the contrary, because of the child, I need to seriously consider whether there is still a need for us to get back together. If you can't be a good father, I'd rather not remarry!”
Li Mu looked at her dumbfounded. Deep inside he was utterly confused. What was wrong with this woman? Was there something wrong with her hormone secretion? Or was she out of her mind? Why was she so moody and inconsistent these days? He couldn’t understand what was on her mind at all!
Actually, Lin Wan had no other choices. After all, what Mrs. Hong told her still haunted her from time to time.
She knew that Mrs. Hong had a point. She was the head of the Lin Family, and her dowry to Li Mu had already made her family mad. If she remarried that easily, it would mean that she didn’t treat her marriage seriously. And her family would definitely look down on her.
Hence, she had to put on a show. She could also use this as a revenge to her ex-husband. “Let’s see if he still had the guts to divorce me that easily in the future!” She thought.
