Chapter 82: Pretty Widow 4: The Beautiful Widow Who Kills Her Husband
Trapped in the corner, Wu Lan realized how big the size difference between the two sides was.
The man has an upright posture, he must have been doing fitness exercises all year round, and he is lean and strong. Wearing a black suit, he looks even more broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, and has an endless sense of power.
The other person was very tall, and Wu Lan was only at the level of his chest, so she had to tilt her head back to look him in the eye.
Wu Lan's heart trembled when she bumped into those black pupils with a hint of playfulness.
His breathing was unsteady, and he spoke cautiously, "Excuse me...is there anything I can help you with?"
His wrist was still held by the man, who had his other hand resting on the wall behind him, leaving him no room to escape.
Trapped by a strange man, Wu Lan felt uneasy and a little scared.
From Li Yiche's perspective, the girl in his arms had a pretty pale face, and her black, curled eyelashes trembled slightly uneasily when she looked at him. Her dark, bright eyes seemed to be shining with water, and her eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.
He is extremely handsome, with delicate features, a small and straight nose, lips with a natural pink color, and an exceptionally slender white neck that is exposed when he tilts his head back.
Because of anxiety, even the action of swallowing saliva was very cautious, and the small Adam's apple rolled slightly.
Li Yiche stared at the small, almost negligible Adam's apple, then glanced at the pretty face whose gender was hard to tell, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his deep eyes.
His scrutinizing eyes slowly moved down and rested on the girl's flat chest.
Wu Lan could clearly feel that the other party was looking at her.
Such an aggressive look made him even more frightened. His pink and white fingertips clenched together nervously, and he subconsciously covered his chest with his hands.
"What's going on?"
There was a tremor in the clear and pleasant voice, and it was obvious that the person was suppressing his fear.
Li Yiche withdrew his gaze and looked into the girl's watery eyes again. The aggression in his eyes instantly dissipated, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He became very gentle, and the blatant aggressive look just now seemed to be Wu Lan's illusion.
"Sorry, I might have scared you."
Li Yiche said: "I just picked up an earring, it should be yours."
As he spoke, he loosened his hand that was supporting the wall and opened his palm, revealing a pearl earring of simple design.
Looking at the familiar earring, Wu Lan touched her ears on both sides and found that one had indeed fallen off.
"Yes, it's mine."
Realizing that the other party was just looking for the owner of the earrings, Wu Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to reach out to take them back, but the man suddenly clenched his fist and dodged.
"This earring is hard to wear, right? Let me help you put it on?"
This pair of earrings is a clip-on type and matches the clothes, which are the funeral clothes specially prepared for him by the butler.
Since it was her first time wearing earrings, Wu Lan hesitated for a long time. She either clipped them crookedly or it hurt, and it took her a while to finally clip them on successfully.
If he were to do it himself now, it would probably take a long time.
Considering that the funeral was about to begin, he couldn't waste time here.
Wu Lan thought about it and decided to accept the man's help.
"Then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble."
A smile flashed in Li Yiche's eyes. He released his hand that was holding Wu Lan's wrist and delicately put the pearl earring on the girl.
The posture of wearing the earrings caused the two of them to get closer.
Wu Lan could vaguely smell the faint scent of perfume on the other person. The bitter orange blossom and patchouli gave people a bold and wild feeling, which was very similar to the feeling the man gave him at the beginning, bold and uninhibited.
The other party's gentleness now is more like a mask.
Wu Lan's thoughts drifted away.
He didn't notice the posture of the two. From behind, he was almost completely embraced by the man, which was quite intimate.
At this distance, Li Yiche could also smell the sweet scent of the girl. He gently parted her soft hair and couldn't help but bury his face in the crook of her slender, fair neck to take a good sniff.
The hot and humid breath sprinkled on the white tip of the ear, which soon turned red due to its sensitivity, and the whole person trembled.
"Still not well yet?"
There was a hint of softness in the girl's timid voice, which brought Li Yiche back to his senses.
"alright."
He swallowed and said, "This is my first time helping someone put on earrings, so I'm not very experienced. Please don't mind."
Seeing the man consciously keeping a safe distance, Wu Lan finally let go of her anxiety and gave him a faint smile.
"Thank you."
Just as she was about to ask the man's name, the housekeeper's voice suddenly came from outside the bathroom, "Madam, the funeral is about to begin."
"Excuse me, are you there?"
"I see."
Seeing that the housekeeper was urging her, Wu Lan had no choice but to say goodbye to the man in a hurry and turned to leave.
He walked quickly and did not notice Li Yiche raised his eyebrows and murmured the word "Madam" in a low voice.
*
When Wu Lan returned to the scene, the funeral ceremony was about to begin.
This was Wu Lan's first time to experience a funeral, and she attended the funeral as a widow.
He didn't understand the funeral ceremony process, but fortunately the butler arranged everything very properly and there were no mistakes.
We are now in the memorial service.
It was said that a close friend of Shen Yulin was speaking on the stage. Wu Lan was standing below the stage, his wide black hat brim blocking his sight, so that he didn't know that many people were staring at him.
There were also a few people whispering among them.
"That should be Brother Yulin's wife. Although I can't see her face clearly, her overall temperament is really good. She must be a great beauty."
"His wife is so beautiful." The person who spoke also looked at Wu Lan and lowered his voice: "It's a pity that you didn't come to the wedding ceremony. His wife was wearing a wedding dress and was so beautiful that I was stunned. I didn't even react when someone fired a gun."
"Don't mention it. I happened to have something to do that day and couldn't go." After a pause, the man asked again: "So how beautiful is his wife? Do you have a photo?"
"I was so mesmerized that day that I didn't even remember taking any pictures."
He gave the man a sullen look and said, "Perhaps we could take this opportunity to go and have a chat with his wife?"
"Sure, sure."
"Hey, you said his wife was so beautiful, and he died so early, what will happen next..."
"I don't know about that." The speaker paused and nudged the other person with his elbow. "Look at everyone in the audience, who isn't peeking at his wife?"
"She inherited Brother Yulin's wealth at such a young age. I guess she will be targeted by many people. And I also heard that her husband died as soon as she got married. She is a bit of a jinx."
After saying that, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, do you think I'm capable? Will his wife suddenly fall in love with me?"
"Hmm... I think my chances are better. You're not as good as me, but I'm more lucky than you. I'm not afraid of bad luck."
The two of them spoke quietly, just loud enough for Li Yiche who was standing next to them to hear clearly.
He looked at the girl standing next to the butler, his eyes narrowed.
"So this is my sister-in-law..."
Li Yiche murmured, turned the tip of his shoe, and just as he was about to move forward, someone patted his shoulder.
"elder brother?"
Li Chensen glanced at Li Yiche and asked, "What are you mumbling about here?"
"nothing."
Li Yiche raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hidden meaning in his eyes, and said, "Let's go say hello to my sister-in-law."
"You go first, I'll go out and make a phone call."
Li Yiche shrugged nonchalantly, "Then I'll go first."
Feeling a little surprised that Li Yiche was so active in greeting people, Li Chensen glanced at Li Yiche's back and narrowed his eyes hesitantly.
With the housekeeper's introduction, Wu Lan realized that the man she met in the bathroom was Shen Yulin's younger brother.
After greeting the other party, the housekeeper told him that Shen Yulin's father had adopted two children a few years ago. Although they were adopted, the two children were actually the children of Shen's father's good friend. The friend died in a car accident, and the two children had no one to take care of them, so Shen's father decided to help raise the children.
But Shen Yulin did not have a deep relationship with the two brothers. They did not grow up together and only met during the holidays.
Later, Shen's father passed away, and the two children grew up and had not returned to the Shen family for many years.
"Li Yiche is the younger brother. He has a biological brother, Li Chensen, who is two years older than him."
Wu Lan nodded as she listened, and inadvertently met Li Yiche's eyes in the distance, then shifted her gaze in a panic.
For some reason, he felt that Li Yiche's eyes were a little scary, and he had the illusion that he was being stared at.
Shaking his head to get rid of these strange thoughts, Wu Lan thought that the other party might be meeting him for the first time, so he just looked at him a few more times.
After the memorial service, the body will be farewelled.
Shen Yulin's body was placed in a coffin covered with white flowers. He had a handsome face, very pale lips, and his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
Wu Lan stood by and kept looking at Shen Yulin.
2720【What have you been watching him do for so long?】
【Don't look at it, it's unlucky.】
Wu Lan pursed her lips and silently replied in her heart, "I felt that he was a little different from the day we got married, so I took a few more glances at him..."
2720 immediately asked [What's the difference? ]
[I can’t explain it, it’s just a little weird.]
This is a feeling. Wu Lan felt that Shen Yulin in the coffin was a little different, but she couldn't put it into words. She just felt that the other party seemed to be really asleep.
2720 [Stop imagining this. You know, the dead cannot be resurrected.]
Of course Wu Lan knew that once a person was dead, he was dead and there was absolutely no way he could be brought back to life.
He nodded silently, deciding not to think about it anymore.
Taking the white roses from the butler, Wu Lan walked forward, gently placed the flowers next to the body, bowed, and left.
Next, the guests came forward one by one, bowed, said goodbye to the body and laid flowers.
Soon, the entire funeral ceremony was over.
When we left, it started raining heavily outside. The wind and rain made the small trees beside us sway.
Wu Lan stood at the door, the hem of her black skirt was blown up, revealing a pair of white and well-proportioned legs underneath.
This slender figure effortlessly attracted a lot of attention. The beautiful face occasionally revealed from under the wide brim of the hat and the pitiful expression made people stop in their tracks.
Everyone wants to have such a beautiful widow.
There were quite a few people who were ready to make a move. Seeing the tall man in a suit approaching the girl, many of them gritted their teeth and hated themselves for being a step too late.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Wu Lan turned around.
His gaze lingered on the other person's unfamiliar handsome face for a moment, and before he could say anything, he heard the other person call him sister-in-law in a gentle tone.
Li Chensen stared at the girl's face, which was so beautiful that it made people feel pity. A warm smile hung on her handsome face, and her eyes were deep and calm, hiding the waves in her eyes.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Li Chensen."
"Nice to meet you."
