Chapter 102: Pretty Widow 24: The Beautiful Widow Who Kills Her Husband
"Ma'am, you got up really early today."
The housekeeper walked over to Wu Lan's side, followed her gaze towards the potted plant, his expression changed slightly, and he frowned, "I'll have Xiao Chang take care of it later. Madam, please go and have breakfast first."
Wu Lan nodded and looked back as she walked towards the dining room. She noticed the housekeeper squatting next to the flower pot, muttering something: "Strange...just yesterday..."
He wanted to hear more clearly, but Li Yiche suddenly appeared and pulled him to a corner.
"Good morning, baby."
In Li Yiche's eyes, there were only him and Wu Lan in the corner. But in Wu Lan's eyes, there were more than just the two of them, there was also Shen Yulin.
Wu Lan stole a glance at Shen Yulin's gloomy face, swallowed carefully, and corrected him righteously: "You have to call me sister-in-law, not baby."
Without waiting for Li Yiche to speak, he pushed the person away and sat at the dinner table, no longer looking at Li Yiche.
Wu Lan was worried that if this person said something else and Shen Yulin heard it, it would be troublesome. She had to get away from this big trouble as soon as possible.
"Xiao Lan, good morning."
It was another intimate name. Wu Lan looked at Li Chensen who was walking over, and was secretly glad that the other party did not say such an overly ambiguous name.
"morning."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Chensen sitting next to him. He stretched out his long hand and touched his hand under the table, as if they were having an affair.
Wu Lan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly pulled his hand back.
But as soon as he pulled his hand back, Li Yiche pulled his other hand over and rubbed the back of his hand in a somewhat ambiguous manner.
"Sister-in-law, your hands are so small and soft, how come hitting someone hurts so much?"
Such words would inevitably cause the listeners to have related associations. Wu Lan pulled his hand back tremblingly. Before he could reply, he heard Shen Yulin ask in his ear: "Wife, when did you hit him?"
He didn't dare talk to Shen Yulin in front of the two brothers, for fear of being regarded as a psychopath talking to himself.
Wu Lan pretended not to hear and picked up the milk on the table and took a sip. Just as she put it down, a hand reached out from the side.
Li Chensen wiped Wu Lan's mouth with a tissue, and his words were filled with tenderness and a smile that was hard to conceal: "It got on your mouth, let me wipe it for you."
Now, Wu Lan didn't dare to look at Shen Yulin anymore.
After finally finishing her breakfast and waiting for Li Chensen and Li Yiche to leave, Wu Lan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing Chang Lizheng carrying the withered potted plant towards the back garden, he quickly followed and asked, "What should we do with this?"
Looking at the withered and yellow leaves, Wu Lan remembered the hot coffee she had spilled last night and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Can he be saved?"
Chang Li placed the potted plant on the stone table in the garden. He scooped up the soil in the pot with his gloved hands, observed it for a while, and shook his head. "It can't be saved. We need to replace it with a new pot."
"Want to buy a new one?"
"Well, let's go buy some new pots and some fertilizer."
Chang Li took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can. After washing his hands in the small sink, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Madam, are you interested in flowers? Do you want to go with us?"
"You can pick the one you like."
Wu Lan was a little tempted, but it was not because he wanted to pick the one he liked, but because he felt guilty, thinking that it was because of him that the flower died.
Without thinking too long, he nodded in agreement.
After returning to his room and changing his clothes, Wu Lan went downstairs and saw the housekeeper on the phone. He wanted to tell the housekeeper, but seeing that the call could not be ended for a while, he had to gesture to the housekeeper and go out.
Chang Li had already prepared the car and parked it outside.
After getting in the car, Wu Lan fastened her seatbelt, looked out the window at the greenery and cars constantly passing by, and asked, "How far is that place?"
"It's about a forty-minute drive. You can take a nap if you're tired."
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."
Wu Lan had just woken up and was in good spirits. He chatted with Chang Li from time to time, and soon they were halfway through the journey.
"Ma'am, I suddenly feel uncomfortable in my stomach."
Chang Li's voice sounded somewhat painful, and his tall body was hunched over, looking unusual.
"W-What's wrong with you? Why don't you pull over?"
"I think I have a stomachache. There's a gas station up ahead. I want to stop there and use the restroom."
Wu Lan looked ahead and saw a gas station about two hundred meters away. There was also a convenience store there. "Okay, let's go over there."
After the car stopped, he saw Chang Li running towards the bathroom at a rapid pace. It seemed that he was really about to reach his limit.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Wu Lan slapped away the big hand that had been holding him and said to Shen Yulin, "You're holding me too tight. I can hardly breathe."
Even though Shen Yulin was pushed away, he hugged her back the next second, not wanting to be separated for even a second.
He touched Wu Lan's face, his tone a little sour: "Are you familiar with this Chang Li? We have been chatting with him all the way."
"I talk to you, but you don't respond."
Sometimes, Wu Lan felt that Shen Yulin was not very smart.
There were only two living people in the car. If he talked to Shen Yulin, Chang Li would definitely think he was talking to himself and would probably be regarded as a mentally ill widow after losing her husband.
Glancing at Shen Yulin unhappily, Wu Lan said, "I'm not familiar with him. I'm only familiar with you."
These light words immediately soothed Shen Yulin's sour and uneasy heart.
Of course, my wife is only familiar with him. He is the most important person to her, and no one else can compare to him.
Shen Yulin suddenly felt his heart soften, and his heart began to beat, as if he had come back to life.
I kissed this soft, white, pretty little face hard, and then slowly kissed the corner of her mouth, wanting to kiss inside.
Wu Lan immediately understood Shen Yulin's intention. He turned his face away and slapped Shen Yulin away. "Let's kiss each other again when we get home. You'll make my lips red again later."
Shen Yulin listens to his wife very much and does whatever his wife says.
But he wanted to ask for some sweet treats, "Besides kissing tonight, how about trying three fingers?"
"I'll lick it open for you, it won't be uncomfortable..."
Before Shen Yulin could finish his words, he received a slap in the face from his wife.
His beautiful wife glared at him with a blushing face, her eyes filled with spring water, and she looked both shy and awkward. "If you keep talking, I won't let you kiss me."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
Wu Lan glared at Shen Yulin again, and when he saw that he had finally behaved himself, he snorted and raised his chin.
Not long after, Chang Li came back, but he was accompanied by a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask.
"Ma'am, this is my friend. He's an employee of the flower base we're going to later. Just call him A'Deng."
Chang Li introduced Wu Lan, "I ran into him when I came out just now. He said his car broke down and he couldn't drive it. He asked if we could give him a ride."
"I'm thinking of the same destination for us, so I wanted to ask for your advice. My stomach still hurts a bit, so I might not be able to drive anymore. Ah Deng can drive, so he can take us there."
While Chang Li was speaking, Wu Lan secretly looked at the young man named A Deng.
Because the other person was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, he couldn't see his face clearly. He could only see that the other person had single eyelids and was looking down at the ground.
Since they were going to the same destination, Wu Lan had no reason to refuse. Besides, Chang Li couldn't drive right now, so A'Deng was obviously the best driver.
But no matter what, A Deng was a stranger, so Wu Lan was still a little wary.
He asked 2720's opinion in his mind, but for some reason the system remained silent. The two people in front of him were waiting for his answer, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.
A Deng sat in the driver's seat, and Chang Li sat with him in the back seat.
"Ma'am, there was something under the passenger seat, so I sat in the back."
"It's okay."
Chang Li's explanation dispelled Wu Lan's doubts.
Soon, the car started again.
Wu Lan looked at the time on the car screen and felt that if she moved quickly, she should be able to return to the Shen family before 12:30 noon.
Because there was a stranger in the car, Wu Lan felt a little shy and did not chat with Chang Li like before. She just looked out the window silently.
He glanced at Shen Yulin inadvertently and found that he was staring at A Deng in the driver's seat with a serious expression.
I really want to ask Shen Yulin why he stares at people like that, his eyes are so weird and creepy.
Wu Lan pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Seeing that Chang Li didn't notice him, he quietly nudged Shen Yulin and asked in a low voice, "Why are you always looking at him?"
Shen Yulin: "I think he looks familiar."
Wu Lan looked at A Deng curiously, and looked at the other person's figure carefully. He seemed a little familiar, but she felt that she was overthinking it.
Without looking at A Deng again, he shifted his gaze to look out the window, and suddenly heard Chang Li say, "Madam, your necklace fell off."
Turning around, he saw the necklace with a ring on it lying in Chang Li's hand.
Ever since this necklace fell off two days ago, the connection between the necklace has become very loose and it will fall off if you are not careful.
"Thanks for picking it up for me."
Without the ring, Wu Lan could not see Shen Yulin. He planned to put it back on, but Chang Li clenched his fist.
"Your necklace is a little loose, let me help adjust it."
Wu Lan was surprised to find that Chang Li could adjust the necklace. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
The car was still moving and the cabin was very quiet.
Wu Lan always felt that the temperature inside the car was a little high, but seeing that Chang Li and A Deng had no reaction, she began to suspect that it was her own problem.
My mouth is a little dry and I want to drink some water.
Mineral water is usually available in the car. After Wu Lan asked Chang Li for a bottle of mineral water, she gulped down a few sips and the feeling of thirst finally disappeared.
"Madam, is this ring his?"
Wu Lan leaned back in his chair and watched Chang Li adjusting his necklace. He frowned a little dizzily and hummed.
"It seems that the lady really loves the gentleman. She even wears the ring all the time."
Suddenly, he felt that Chang Li's voice was a little strange, but Wu Lan didn't want to think about the reason. He felt a little dizzy now, probably because of motion sickness.
Shen Yulin noticed Wu Lan's abnormality almost immediately. He patted Wu Lan's face and said anxiously, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"
But Wu Lan couldn't hear Shen Yulin's voice, he could only feel the cold touch on his face. Thinking that Shen Yulin was playing with him, he raised his soft hand and slapped him away.
"Madam, do you really love Mr.
Chang Li’s question was really strange. Wu Lan raised her eyelids and looked at him, and found that Chang Li was lowering the car window.
"Do you love him?"
Wu Lan is Shen Yulin's wife. For the sake of her image, she has to admit that she loves Shen Yulin in front of outsiders.
Unexpectedly, when Chang Li heard this, he threw the ring in his hand directly out of the car window.
Wu Lan was stunned for a moment, and tried to stand up and look back. The ring was gone, and he collapsed on the seat due to exhaustion.
"Xiao Chang, you, why are you..."
Wu Lan looked puzzled and wanted someone to stop the car immediately, but no matter how many times she asked, the car kept moving forward.
"Ma'am, you are tired. It's time to get some sleep."
His vision became a little blurry, and the last thing Wu Lan saw was Chang Li approaching him with something similar to an eye mask.
Then, everything went dark.
"Just have some sleep."
Chang Li's voice gradually faded until it could no longer be heard.
*
On the other side, the ring was thrown out.
Before he could react, Shen Yulin's soul was pulled out of the car by a mysterious external force, and he watched helplessly as the ring that fell to the ground was run over by the front wheels of a large truck.
After the truck passed by, the ring broke in two.
Shen Yulin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if something was pulling it, and everything went dark in front of his eyes.
He closed his eyes and tried to move in the direction the car was leaving. He was only thinking about Wu Lan and was worried that Wu Lan would be hurt.
Suddenly, a rapid dripping sound rang in my ears, along with the voices of many medical staff.
"The patient's heart rate is too fast..."
"It still doesn't work. My blood pressure now..."
The noise made Shen Yulin's head hurt even more, and his body felt like it was hit by an electric current. Amidst the continuous pain, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The light above his head made his vision blurred, but Shen Yulin still remembered one thing.
Something happened to Wu Lan!
