In the inpatient ward, Li Mu put down the phone and smiled drily to He Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, Lin Wan seems to know her fault!”

He Xiaoyu was surprised to ask, “She knows? What did she say?”

“She said her family is her limits that nobody mustn't challenge, even if her clans. If she finds Lin Family hurts people, she will support any of my acts and not protect her clans.”

He Xiaoyu confused, “Why did she change her mind suddenly? She changed so quickly!”

“Not strange. After my leave, Lin Wan must have thought about it. Now she finally knows that only working together with us can keep our marriage long. There is no doubt that she and I need to work together.”

“I don't think so. Li Mu, you are cheated by your responsibility. You know you have trouble but you refuse to face it.”

Li Mu was silent. Seconds later, he said slightly, “Xiaoyu, sometimes the truth is not so important. We need to be stupid to live easily.”

“I agree with you that you can be stupid if she really knew her fault. But are you sure she didn't pretend to support you and then stood by her clans?”

“Pretend to compromise to me?”

“Yes. Her awareness might be the timely compromise. Don't forget that Lin Kun stays with you. So how can't she know you get the help of Shen Family?”

Li Mu signed and mocked himself, “You don't need to help me to see all things clearly. Just treat me as a fool!”

“Li Mu, I must remind you of everything. She is spoiling her clans while you are spoiling her. If you know your limits, then you won't divorce.”

Clearly, Li Mu didn't want to recall the old days. So he argued, “I didn't spoil her about that and she was the victim. Those villains used her kindness, but I didn’t spoil her.”

“How can you forget? Would a normal woman do that? Li Mu, why do you still pretend to be blind? You know the reason why she did that but you didn't want to know.”

Li Mu stopped arguing but He Xiaoyu didn't let it go. She wanted to break down all the excuses to remind Li Mu of the facts and then Li Mu couldn't pretend as a blind man.

“Li Mu, she despises you and doesn't care about your feelings. Now she seems worried to leave you. But in her real mind, you are not so important.”

Li Mu seemed bitter. He looked outside with some puzzles.

He Xiaoyu said softly, “I don't know why she worries to leave you. Maybe it is because of her experience in child time, and maybe is the desire to have you. But when she had you, she didn't mind your marriage. I can't understand it.”

Li Mu answered with the same feelings, “Yes, I don't understand too. We were happy and loved each other. But now, I don't know how it got to be like this.”

“I know why. You were happy because at that time she ran from her family and buried her identity in her mind. You were equal. She loved you, worried about you, and cared for you. So your marriage was happy.”

“I always miss that time. But since her family found her in Shanyang, she changed and cared less for my feelings.”

“Then, you know all the things. Smart as my senior fellow, who did the work with people's minds? How can you don't know her thoughts? But you are just pretending to be silly.”

“Not pretending but... You don't know. Maybe when you married, you would know.”

He Xiaoyu scorned, “Yes, I didn't get married. But I know that. If she wants to be stronger than her husband, she will need an obedient husband. She despised you and cared less for you, and then you had troubles. But your leaving didn't change her at all. She is still the householder of Lin Family.”

“Okay, then, what should I do?”

He Xiaoyu answered seriously, “I won't ask you to leave her in purpose. But I don't think you should remarry her soon.”

Li Mu nodded, “Easy. I will consider the remarriage thoughtfully and won't allow remarrying her until she's willing to change.”

“It's okay to give her another chance. But how long will you wait?”

“I don't know. Maybe soon or later.”

“Do you believe her?”

“Truth?”

“Yes.”

“I believe in her. And she will change for the love between us.”

Left the hospital, Li Mu drove silently. Shen Zixing looked at him now and then on the seat of the co-driver.

“Why? You keep looking at me.”

“Brother Mu, I heard your talk with Xiaoyu.”

Shen Ming'er added at the back, “I heard too.”

“Bad girls. Eavesdropping on our adult's conversation, how much did you hear?'

“A little.”

“All!”

“What the hell did you hear? I want the truth.” Li Mu pretended to be angry.

Then he got the same answer, “All!”

Dirty words came out of Li Mu. Then he warned, “All right. But don't tell your elder sister.”

“She is not our elder sister!” Shen Zixing was serious.

“How couldn't she be your elder sister? A little girl can't learn to forget your origin. Some days no seeing, then don't you want to call her elder sister?”

“She doesn't deserve it. She once told us that if there are troubles between Shen and Li Family, we should consider the trouble from Li Family. But when it happened to Lin Family, she was from Lin Family. She doesn't deserve to be the elder sister of Li Family. The household of Lin Family suits her more.”

“Yes, Brother Mu. As the household, Sister Xingyue must know what she should do and she would always support you. Or even if Sister Xiaoyu will do better.”

Li Mu scolded, “Bullshit! Care less about our adults, kids.”

“We are not kids.”

“Okay, you have grown up. But don't say bad behind your elder sister. She might do something wrong, but we need to give her a chance.”

“What if she doesn't know?”

“Then we just do what we should do and leave her. Nobody would hurt any others.”

He Xiaoyu was satisfied with the talks. She knew her senior fellow wanted to be silly. He did that for he had to do that. In a word, he didn't want to leave and he couldn't change the condition.

It was because Li Wan didn't care about him at all. No matter his capabilities or his family's powers, Li Mu was nobody in front of Li Wan. So unless Li Wan asked him to leave, he could do nothing but run secretly. Actually, he did that.

Was there any snobbery in the love? Of course! Or there wouldn't be the old condition of the comparative family power. With many gaps between couples, they could hardly remain a marriage. And that was the same reason why they ended up with divorce.

But now it was different. Li Mu's capabilities could compare with Lin Wan's. He was equal with her and he could consider his marriage equally. He could do what he wanted to choose right.

But he still pretended to be silly because of his love to her.

But everyone had seen Li Mu's changes and all known the fact. It was a pity that Li Wan, who needed change most, still lived in old days. Her little awareness stopped her steps.

He Xiaoyu believed Lin Wan would hurt Li Mu and then he would leave her even if she did nothing.

As Shen Xingyue, she had despised Lin Wan at first and thought Lin Wan would make herself an ex-wife without anyone's help.

But being different from Shen Xingyue, He Xiaoyu had regarded Shen Xingyue as her main enemy, a tough enemy with a powerful family and brilliant methods.

So she talked to Li Mu in case of reminding him of their agreement. And she could be the best as his wife in the future.

Li Mu got He Xiaoyu's words. Compared to Li Wan, Li Mu was more willing to live with He Xiaoyu. It was because that his life would be easier and happier with no intrigues.

He wasn't the boy to do everything for his love. His experience calmed him down. If he would choose between the love and the right again, now he preferred the right one.

I still loved you, but we didn't suit each other!

Backed to the hotel, Li Mu arranged the tasks and returned home with the Zixing sisters and Lin Kun.

After so many days' leave, there was ash everywhere in the house. So they swept up totally to return the cleanness and brightness. But there was still a void in Li Mu's heart.

Soon, Lin Wan hurried back to see Li Mu. But nobody talked more. There seemed something between Lin Wan and Li Mu.

Lin Wan was upset and started to blame herself.

On the way to reunite with Li Mu, she had told herself she needed to change herself again and again. But seeing him, she was used to be Madam Lin, which made the improved relationship harder.

She suddenly found that she still despised her husband and still wanted him as obedient honey.

But Li Mu's reaction astonished her. She knew what she had done totally wrong. Her husband hadn't listened to her obediently as he had been weak. How would he be able to obedient now since he was strong?

Finally, Li Mu stopped the embarrassment and invited Lin Wan to the bedroom to put forward his five suggestions.

One, their remarriage must base on the willingness of two of them but not the force to him. Now they didn't have to remarry.

Second, she had better to leave Shanyang for the place where she should be and clear out their relationship to her clans. Li Mu couldn't afford to be the household man of Lin Family.

Third, if it was truly Lin Family had hurt his family, no matter who would pay the price for the hurt. If she wanted to protect the guys, then they would be the enemy.

Forth, he would always be the father of his child but never be kidnapped morally by his child. So don't threaten him with the child. If she didn't want the child, she could choose abortion. Or it was okay for him to grow up the child alone.

Fifth, he couldn't be the only one to change. If she didn't want to live together, he would support her decision. But please leave him alone.
