I don’t know if it was because I was too full or the man’s technique was too good, but I felt sleepy after a while.

Just at this moment, the water in the kettle boiled, Lingchuan let go of her feet, stood up and went away.

Shao Mo was feeling sleepy and didn't care about the other person. She just lay down on the sofa.

After a burst of splashing water, she felt something approaching her with a heat, and she instinctively opened her eyes.

It turned out that the man had wrung out a hot towel and was preparing to wipe her face.

Seeing that she was awake, Ling Chuan explained carefully: "Wife, I have some hot water. Wash your face first, then soak your feet in hot water so that you won't feel cold when you sleep at night."

Shao Mo was originally sleepy and didn't want to wash her face or feet, but the water was brought in front of her. Her mysophobia was aroused and she felt uncomfortable all over if she didn't wash.

She stood up and took the towel, "I can do it myself."

After she finished wiping her face, Ling Chuan immediately took the towel, put it in the basin, scrubbed it, wrung it dry, and then handed it to her.

This cycle repeated itself over and over again. After she had wiped her face, neck and hands, Ling Chuan immediately brought her hot footbath water for her to soak her feet.

Afraid that she would feel it was too hot, he also fetched a small basin of cold water, ready to add it to the hot water at any time.

Soak your feet in the steaming hot water bucket, the heat enters through every pore of your feet and spreads to your limbs, washing away all the fatigue in your body.

Shao Mo was soaking her feet while looking at the man sitting opposite her.

"Go down to your room and rest. I'll go to sleep after I soak my feet."

Ling Chuan looked at her, his eyes slowly turning red.

The voice he spoke was a little hoarse, with a hint of tears, "Wife, I know I was wrong. It's all my fault. Can you forgive me? I promise I won't drink anymore."

Seeing that Shao Mo didn't say anything, Ling Chuan didn't continue, "Wife, I'll clean up the floor after you fall asleep and leave."

Hearing this, Shao Mo ignored him, went back to the bedroom after soaking her feet, and locked the door.

In the living room, Ling Chuan's face darkened when he heard the clear sound of the door being locked behind him. He immediately stood up and took the bucket to the bathroom to pour out the water, washed it clean, and then carefully sealed the various sugar cakes and pastries that Shao Mo had bought to prevent them from getting damp and affecting the taste.

After doing all this, he did not leave. Instead, he turned off the lights in the living room, then sat alone on the sofa, staring blankly out the window where snowflakes were flying.

God knows how remorseful and self-blaming he felt when he saw the steak, red wine, flowers and candles in the trash can.

What he regretted even more was that he agreed to have dinner with Ma Xuebin. At the same time, he was also glad that his wife showed up in time, otherwise, he really couldn't imagine the consequences.

If he really did something wrong to his wife, even if she didn't beat or scold him or blame him, he would want to kill himself.

Thinking of this, Ling Chuan suddenly remembered something, got up and left.

In the bedroom, Shao Mo was not asleep.

Habit is a terrible thing. Even if she was angry with him, she would still feel at ease when he was around. If he was gone, she wouldn't even be able to sleep.

That night, Shao Mo tossed and turned for a long time before she could barely fall asleep.

On the other side, Ma Xuebin and Wanyuanbai couldn't sleep all night.

Wanyuanbai was fine, as he had no prior knowledge of Ma Xuebin sending a woman to Lingchuan, so it was easy to explain to Shao Mo.

Ma Xuebin was in a miserable situation. He believed that there was no cat that didn't steal fish in the world. In order to please and win over Ling Chuan, he specially arranged for Linda Wan to send Ling Chuan back to the hotel.

This is great. The flattery has backfired. The Shao family is angry. Not only will he lose his job, he may not even be able to survive in the country.

After receiving Linda Wan's call, Ma Xuebin immediately called Wan Yuanbai for help, but what could Wan Yuanbai do since he was far away in Jiang City?

For a woman, her husband and family are her bottom line, and what Ma Xuebin did just touched Shao Mo's bottom line. He didn't even have the face to plead for Ma Xuebin.

Wanyuanbai tried to call Lingchuan a few times, but without exception, Lingchuan did not reply.

In fact, Ling Chuan didn’t deliberately not reply because he was angry, but he was busy coaxing his wife and had no time to care.

The next day, Shao Mo was awakened by the dazzling white light outside the window.

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was all white outside the window. The roofs, streets, trees, and flower beds were all covered with a thick layer of snow.

There was heating in the hotel room, so Shao Mo didn't feel cold. She got up and walked to the window, admiring the snow scene for a while. When she opened the room, she saw the man curled up on the sofa in the living room. She was stunned.

Ling Chuan was awakened by the sound of her opening the door. He quickly opened his eyes and sat up from the sofa.

"Wife, are you up? I bought soy milk, steamed buns, scallion pancakes, and pot stickers..."

Shao Mo glanced at the oil paper packages on the coffee table that were already completely cold without a trace of heat. They were so cold that she had no idea when he bought them.

Ling Chuan obviously realized that the breakfast was cold, and explained as if to remedy the situation: "Wife, I'll go buy some hot ones. What do you want to eat?"

"No, we'll go out for dinner later and talk about what happened last night."

Ling Chuan's face was a little stiff. He was obviously resistant to what happened last night. To be more precise, he was afraid.

Now you know you are scared, why didn't you do that before? Such a beautiful woman came to you on her own initiative, you must be in a good mood! Shao Mo complained in her heart, and didn't give the man a good look. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she didn't care whether the man washed or not, she picked up her bag and went out.

As soon as the two walked into the hotel lobby, they were stopped by a strange-looking man.

"Mr. Ling, Mrs. Ling, good morning."

"Who are you?"

Shao Mo was not in a good mood and her tone was not very polite.

Ma Xuebin immediately introduced himself.

Knowing that the man in front of her was the culprit who got Ling Chuan drunk yesterday, Shao Mo became furious.

"It turns out to be Manager Ma. I have heard of your name for a long time."

Hearing the sarcasm in Shao Mo's tone, Ma Xuebin quickly replied, "I don't deserve it, Mrs. Ling, I am guilty. I shouldn't have forced Mr. Ling to drink last night, and I didn't play the role of a good host afterwards. I almost caused a misunderstanding between you two. It's all my fault, Mrs. Ling, you can hit me if you want, it's absolutely my fault."

Ma Xuebin discussed with Wan Yuanbai for a whole night and finally decided that Ma Xuebin should apologize first, take the responsibility, and attribute the whole thing to a misunderstanding. This would not only absolve him of his guilt, but also make Ling Chuan look good, and at the same time make Shao Mo calm down.

The two of them had a good plan. If Shao Mo was an ordinary housewife, she would probably have used this as an excuse to cover up the matter.

Unfortunately, Shao Mo has never been one to tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, and she has the confidence and ability to do so.
