Seeing Li Mu's face covered with charcoal ash, Lin Wan couldn't continue to keep a straight face and ask Li Mu to leave. She could only lower her head and burn the fire silently.
Seeing that Lin Wan did not make any other reaction, Li Mu moved closer to Lin Wan as if testing her.
Before Li Mu could get close, Lin Wan immediately turned her face away, frowning in disgust.
Lin Wan's reaction made Li Mu freeze in place, but Li Mu quickly reacted and pretended to pick up the dish next to Lin Wan to cover up the embarrassment just now.
The firelight from the stove reflected on the faces of the two people, and the atmosphere was silent for a while. Lin Wan kept observing the fire of the firewood in front of her with a mechanical cold face, while Li Mu kept waving the spatula to heat up the cold food.
Lin Wan looked at Li Mu's skilled appearance and could not hide her surprise in her eyes.
"Isn't he just good at eating, drinking and having fun? When will he learn to heat up the food?"
While Li Mu was heating the dishes, he kept observing Lin Wan's reaction. Seeing Lin Wan's surprised look, Li Mu raised his eyebrows with some complacency, and felt inexplicably proud in his heart.
In his previous life, after Lin Wan and Ruoruo passed away, Li Mu left this heart-breaking city and wandered around without a home.
In order not to go hungry, I slowly learned how to cook from being a complete novice. No matter how rich he is, Li Mu still cooks for himself. Only the smell of home can make Li Mu feel a sense of belonging.
...
...
Li Mu skillfully used a spatula to scoop up the shredded potatoes from the pot and put them on a plate. Holding up the hot food, Li Mu called Lin Wan, who was still staring at the fire in a daze.
"Wanwan, it's time to eat."
"Yeah." Lin Wan replied without even raising her eyelids.
Lin Wan skillfully used a shovel to scoop up the ashes from the firewood in the stove and covered the still burning flames. He stood up and brushed off the firewood ash that flew onto his body, walked to the sink to wash his hands, and followed Li Mu into the house at a leisurely pace.
At the dinner table, Li Mu took the initiative to pick up a piece of shredded potatoes with chopsticks and put it into Lin Wan's bowl. Lin Wan felt confused and ate the food in the bowl silently.
Li Mu looked at the lack of meat on the table and felt more and more guilty. He regretted so much why he even snatched the only 20 yuan left on Lin Wan's body and used it to play cards.
Thinking of Ruoruo and Lin Wan's thin bodies, Li Mu secretly decided to find a way to make money early tomorrow morning so that the mother and daughter could have meat to eat tomorrow.
Lin Wan looked at the food in the bowl and pulled a bitter smile. Thinking that there would be nothing to eat at home tomorrow, she gritted her teeth, looked at Li Mu with determination and said:
"Li Mu, let's get divorced!"
Li Mu, who was still planning how to make money tomorrow, froze in his tracks when he heard Lin Wan's words. He raised his head mechanically, looked at Lin Wan in disbelief and said:
"Why?"
"No reason, let's get a divorce. I don't want Ruoruo to live in this environment forever. From the moment you took away all the money we had left without caring about our lives yesterday, I had already given up. Please let us go."
As she spoke, Lin Wan covered her face and sobbed quietly.
Seeing Lin Wan like this, Li Mu walked forward and wanted to hug the woman in front of him tightly.
Lin Wan seemed to sense something. Seeing Li Mu approaching, she was frightened and took several steps back with a hint of pleading in her voice.
"Please, don't come over here."
Seeing Lin Wan's excited reaction, Li Mu stopped and looked at Lin Wan with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of guilt.
"Li Mu, let's let each other go, just for Ruoruo, okay?"
Seeing Li Mu suppressing his soft heart, Lin Wan pleaded in a low voice.
Seeing Lin Wan like this, Li Mu could no longer hold back his inner impulse, and stepped forward to hug Lin Wan tightly in his arms, and said softly: "Wan Wan, believe me, I will definitely let you and Ruoruo eat meat tomorrow."
Lin Wan, who was suddenly hugged by Li Mu, stiffened instantly, and her body trembled a little, as if she had thought of something.
Biting her lip, she said, "Let me go!"
Li Mu rested his chin on the woman's head in his arms and gently patted Lin Wan's back to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, Wanwan, trust me, okay?"
Feeling Li Mu's hand touching her back, Lin Wan suddenly broke free from the man's embrace and yelled at Li Mu: "Don't touch me!"
————————————————-
Maybe the noise outside the door was too loud and woke up Xiao Ruoruo who was still sleeping soundly.
Xiao Ruoruo rubbed her sleepy eyes, slowly opened the door, and shouted to Lin Wan: "Mom!"
Hearing Ruoruo's voice, Lin Wan instantly put away all her emotions, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and gave Ruoruo a gentle smile.
"What's the matter, Ruoruo? You just woke up. Be good and don't rub your eyes. It's bad for your eyes."
As he spoke, he picked up his daughter who was still rubbing her eyes.
"Mom, do you want to stop following Dad...Dad?"
Ruoruo vaguely heard in her sleep that her mother wanted to divorce her father. She looked at her mother with a sad look and asked.
Seeing her daughter like this, Lin Wan felt a little reluctant, but thinking of the harm that Li Mu had done to Ruoruo, Lin Wan still bit her lip and said to Ruoruo hesitantly:
"Ruoruo, be good. Mommy wants to ask you, if Mommy and Daddy divorce, will you forgive Mommy?"
When Ruoruo heard her mother say it herself, she couldn't hide her sadness and said in a tearful voice, "Mom, can you give Dad another chance? I believe he can get better."
When Li Mu heard his daughter say this, he was deeply moved, but felt more regretful.
"I once had such a happy family, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it only after I lost it. And because Ruoruo was a girl, I didn't pay any attention to her and even spoke ill of her."
"Thank God for giving me this opportunity. In this life, I will definitely let them live a good life that everyone envies."
I thought to myself.
Li Mu moved his feet and slowly walked to the side of the mother and daughter. He looked at them seriously and said, "I will definitely let you live a good life. I will slowly let you see my changes. I don't ask you to forgive me, but can you please not leave me?"
When Lin Wan heard what the father and daughter said, it was impossible for her not to relax at all. But Lin Wan did not rush to speak. Instead, she kept thinking about whether she should give Li Mu this chance, because Li Mu had deceived her too many times.
After thinking for a while, Lin Wan said in the expectant eyes of the father and daughter: "Li Mu, I'm giving you one more chance. If you still do this, I will take Ruoruo back to my parents' home immediately."
Hearing Lin Wan say this, Li Mu's eyes instantly became clear and he nodded without hesitation.
