Chapter 122 "Wife"

Lin Shutang's alcohol tolerance wasn't great, and even if her body allowed it, she wasn't suited to drinking. That night, she didn't know how she got back to Luyuan, and slept through the night.

The next morning, when she woke up, Li Yansheng was no longer by her side.

During breakfast, Aunt Lu said, "My husband left for the company early. He left a message before leaving, saying he would have lunch at the company and that Madam didn't need to wait for him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shutang stopped chewing the bun and looked down at the millet porridge he was slowly stirring in his hand.

Seeing that Lin Shutang was silent, Aunt Lu knew that she was probably thinking about something, so she said, "Madam, I'll be busy now."

Then he left, leaving the space to Lin Shutang alone.

Lin Shutang's mind kept wandering to Aunt Lu's "Madam." She had been living in Luyuan for several months, and Aunt Lu calling her Madam now couldn't be her own decision, it must have been Li Yansheng's instruction.

Lin Shutang's heart was in a turmoil for the entire morning. He kept wondering what Li Yansheng's explanation meant, and how much of it was true and how much was false.

After lunch at noon, Lin Shutang sat in the yard looking at the flowers, with a glass of freshly squeezed grape juice on the small coffee table next to him.

The sun shone on his body, warm and comfortable. Lin Shutang was about to fall asleep in a daze. Aunt Lu's voice rang out beside him: "Madam, Madam."

Lin Shutang opened her eyes and saw Aunt Lu holding a cell phone. "Madam, it's Mr.'s call."

Reaching out to take it, he put it to his ear: "Hey, what's wrong?"

Li Yansheng didn't answer. He could hear a hint of fatigue in her voice and asked, "Are you sleeping?"

His voice was gentle and slow, and Lin Shutang unconsciously slowed down his tone as well: "No, what's wrong?"

Li Yansheng: "There's a document in the top drawer of the bedside table on the right side of the room. Please look for it. I'll have someone come get it later."

"good."

Lin Shutang hung up the phone, got up and went upstairs.

After arriving in the room, I walked over to the nightstand he mentioned.

Lin Shutang knew that Li Yansheng usually put the documents he would need the next day in this drawer, so she had never opened this drawer in all the time she had lived here. Today was the first time.

When I opened the cabinet, I saw the document inside. There was only this one copy, so there was no possibility of taking the wrong one. No wonder he didn't say what the document was.

Taking the document away, Lin Shutang saw the book underneath.

Lin Shutang had also bought The Great Gatsby because of its reputation. However, after buying it, he tried to read it several times, but he really couldn't get interested, so he couldn't finish it once.

She had never expected that a company boss like Li Yansheng would actually read novels. She had thought he only read economic books and magazines.

Lin Shutang picked up the book. It had a red hard cover and was of very good quality.

She flipped through a few pages and saw Li Yansheng's handwriting. It wasn't a comment about the book's contents, just a note of an address: No. 48, Huancheng South Road. The handwriting was rather sloppy, likely a random note from a message he'd received while reading.

Lin Shutang turned another page, and suddenly, something fell from the book, floating lightly, spinning a few times in the air before landing on the ground.

She bent down to pick it up, and when she saw the familiar words on it, her face seemed calm, but her brown pupils narrowed.

"Madam, Mr. Fan is here."

There was a sound outside the door. Lin Shutang didn't have time to think about it. He held the note in his hand, picked up the documents on the bed and went out.
