Chapter 97 Chapter 97 I am the real husband
Six o'clock in the morning.
At dawn, a ray of bright light broke through the clouds, scattering bits of gold.
The streets are filled with the smell of fireworks, and vendors set up stalls to sell rice rolls, fish porridge, steamed buns, wonton noodles, shrimp dumplings... They are quick in their movements and welcome and see off customers.
The housewife who goes out to buy groceries carries an empty bag and then returns home with a bag filled with fresh vegetables, beef and chicken. Passing by them are office workers in suits and ties, each of whom is walking quickly with a briefcase in hand. They eat a few bites of the steamed buns they just bought from the breakfast stall on the way, and then wait in a hurry for the red light to turn green so that they can go to the shopping mall across the street to start a new day of work.
Vehicles were speeding in the middle of the road. Delivery trucks from newspaper and magazine companies were delivering the day's latest newspapers and periodicals to various newsstands. Piles of paper pages with a strong scent of printing ink were stacked up like towering hills, telling the citizens of Hong Kong the latest news of the day.
Five-cent coins with the Queen's portrait printed on them were thrown into the vendors' piggy banks by office workers, housewives buying groceries, and uncles drinking morning tea, who then took away a copy of the latest newspaper.
When I opened the newspaper, I saw that the front page headline was printed with the latest news from Huanyu, which has become a hot topic in Hong Kong recently.
[The person in charge of Huanyu may get divorced, the company will be split in two, and his wealth will be reduced by half]
News reports suggest that the person in charge of Huanyu Group may be facing divorce due to marriage changes, and Mr. Cheng, who does not have any prenuptial agreement, may have to give up half of Huanyu.
Citizens who read the newspapers were all shocked. Wouldn't this be adding insult to injury for Huanyu? !
The street newsstands were bustling with people, and there was constant heated discussion.
In the general manager's office of Tianxing Real Estate, there were also freshly-published newspapers with a faint scent of ink, being spread out and held in the hands of people.
When the newspaper was slowly put down, revealing the calm and serious square face of the middle-aged man, Liu Zhigao's eyes showed some doubt: "Cheng Wanting is getting a divorce..."
The secretary who couldn't suppress the smile on his face said excitedly, "Boss Liu, this happened suddenly. We have already sent people to inquire about it! But this time the news came with such force and without any warning. It looks like it has a big origin."
"I don't know whether it's true or not." Liu Zhigao knew clearly that Cheng Wanting had always been low-key in his life and work. Even if there was a real divorce, how could these magazines and newspapers dare to report it so widely.
He still had doubts and was worried that it was Cheng Wanting's conspiracy.
In less than half a day, the secretary brought the latest investigation news, which immediately dispelled Liu Zhigao's worries.
"Boss Liu, it seems to be true!" The secretary couldn't hide his excitement, as if he had seen the victory of his boss swallowing up the dying Huanyu. "All newspapers and magazines were afraid to publish gossip about Cheng Wanting, but this time it's different. It was Mrs. Cheng and her godfather Guo Changda who instructed them to do so. It seems that they are determined to get half of Huanyu's assets and divorce and leave. Not only that, our people were monitoring the area around the villa in the middle of the mountain and found that there was indeed movement in Cheng Wanting's villa."
"Oh?" Liu Zhigao asked with a hint of excitement, "What's going on?"
"Cheng Wanting's wife is moving away to a vacant villa in Phase 2 of Mid-Levels Villas, and is living separately from Cheng Wanting!"
Liu Zhigao's eyes lit up. If everything was true, then Huanyu would really be doomed! You will die even if you don’t die!
"Contact William and the others as soon as possible so that we can advance our plans for Huanyu!"
To take advantage of your weakness, we learned that Huanyu was struggling between the wolves in front and the tigers behind, and now it was facing internal collapse due to the change of equity and asset division caused by the divorce of the person in charge.
The stock market exploded when it opened that day!
How could the stockholders, who were originally still in a wait-and-see attitude, sit still? If they didn't sell their stocks quickly to stop the loss, would they have to wait until Huanyu's stock price completely fell below the limit and lose everything?
The panic in the stock market was like a hurricane, sweeping across the world in an instant and dragging the world into the abyss.
When Liu Zhigao was discussing the plan with the British investors, he heard from his subordinates that the Huanyu Group had just issued a statement, firmly denying the rumors of divorce of its leader Cheng Wanting, and condemning the release of this fake news.
Liu Zhigao originally had some doubts, but now he feels much more at ease.
"The more Cheng Wanting denies, the more this is confirmed. The equity division caused by the divorce is a fatal blow to Huanyu. He dare not admit it."
Several other major Hong Kong real estate developers echoed this: "Husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."
"Guo Changda's daughter is quite smart. Rather than watching Huanyu go bankrupt, she decided to grab a share first."
"How could a smart man like Cheng Wanting not sign any agreement before marriage? Is he really going to watch his wife divide his shares?"
"With Guo Changda as her backer, I don't think Lin Keying will suffer any loss. She will definitely be able to take a big bite out of Cheng Wanting."
......
Amidst the turmoil in the outside world, the woman at the center of public opinion lives a peaceful life alone.
In the past few days, there have been too many people coming to inquire about the news.
Lin Keying asked the security guards to intercept them one by one, and she stayed alone in the villa to rest, watching melodramatic TV dramas and reading gossip magazines to pass the time.
"Madam, a group of reporters wanted to come to the villa mid-mountain to take photos, but they have been asked to leave by the bodyguards arranged by the young master."
"Madam, several wealthy businessmen nearby also came to inquire about the news, but they were all sent back by Uncle Zhong."
Ah Mei diligently reported the latest situation to her wife, but she was still confused.
Yesterday morning, the wife suddenly wanted to separate from the eldest master!
The fact that they originally slept in separate rooms had escalated into living separately was already enough to give people a lot of food for thought, but this morning's newspapers were all reporting on the divorce of the eldest young master and his wife.
Looking at the servants and security guards who were arranged by the eldest young master to move with his wife to the vacant new villa in Phase 2 of Mid-Levels Villas.
Ah Mei fell into deep thought. Was she considered to be the one who was given to the wife after the eldest master and his wife divorced?
Lin Keying was half lying on the sofa, reading with great interest the article about her divorce that was written at the behest of herself and her godfather.
Sure enough, eating melons is delicious.
Even if it’s your own melon that you’re eating!
"Well, leave them alone. The young master will handle it." Lin Keying casually picked up a piece of Swiss milk chocolate and put it into her mouth. The rich fragrance melted away, and it was delicate and smooth.
After enjoying her own melon, Lin Keying went upstairs to take a nap. By four o'clock in the afternoon, when the Hong Kong stock market closed, Huanyu's share price had suffered a heavy blow.
Although she was the one who contributed to the situation, Lin Keying still felt secretly heartbroken.
It's all money!
The news that Lin Keying had moved to a new villa was specially monitored by Liu Zhigao and others. After the news reached the right people, Lin Keying had not seen Cheng Wanting for several days.
Since we are going to put on a show, we have to do it in its entirety.
When the facts of separation and no longer seeing each other are laid out before our eyes, and Huanyu's statement denying the divorce rings in our ears, everything only seems more real.
It’s just that the truth can sometimes be too much, so much so that even Lin Keying’s relatives and friends believed it.
After staying at home for four days to avoid the limelight, Lin Keying went to Xitian Building on the fifth day of their separation.
Sister He brought Tingting over, her face full of anxiety and worry, but she tried her best to endure: "Keying, how are you? I saw in the newspaper that..."
Lin Keying had been staying at home and refusing to see any visitors for the past few days. She kept everyone out, and it was only today that Sister He found the opportunity to come and show concern for her.
He Yating's face wrinkled into a ball, worried that Sister Keying was bullied: "Sister Keying, did Brother Cheng bully you?"
Otherwise, how could they get divorced?
Since it involved a major secret operation, Lin Keying naturally could not reveal too much, and only said vaguely: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Seeing that Lin Keying looked calm and composed, and even had gentle eyes when she spoke, Sister He and her daughter felt relieved.
After returning home, the two men of the He family came up to her and asked, "Is Keying okay? Are you really getting a divorce?"
After all, they all came from the mainland, and Lin Keying had helped her family so much, so the He family was naturally worried.
Sister He nodded and shook her head, not knowing whether Keying's current condition should be considered as a problem or not: "She told us not to worry, and she doesn't seem to care too much."
Tingting understood Sister Keying's personality, and she changed her mind as soon as she got home: "Even if Sister Keying is really divorced, it must be because she doesn't want to live with him anymore. I don't think there's anything to worry about. Sister Keying will definitely not treat herself badly even if she starts dating again or gets married in the future."
Sister He looked at her daughter and said, "You are right. Keying can make her own decision."
The news of the divorce between the boss of Huanyu Group and the boss of Xitian Building and Hongsheng Entertainment Company spread all over the streets and became known to everyone.
Many men who had business dealings with Lin Keying or had met her once were shocked and were ready to make a move.
British businessman Charles participated in the British capital alliance and turned his guns on Cheng Wanting, who had once cooperated with him but refused to continue the alliance.
He had close contacts with William, but he also became suspicious after learning about the divorce of Cheng Wanting and Lin Keying.
Taking the opportunity to discuss business at Xitian Building, Charles smiled and asked politely: "Ms. Lin, are you free to have dinner with me tonight?"
Lin Keying knew that Charles was in the circle of Liu Zhigao and William, so she did not answer directly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Charles, I have a dinner appointment tonight."
"Is it Mr. Cheng?"
"Female friends."
"Oh~~~" Charles probably understood something. There were endless rumors outside, but Lin Keying directly denied having dinner with Cheng Wanting. It seemed that the implication was that the marriage was really breaking down and it was difficult to save the situation.
Charles is attracted to Lin Keying, who is beautiful, smart and has a good mind in business. Previously, he was hindered by Cheng Wanting's influence, but now he feels that he has an opportunity. Why not develop a beautiful relationship with Miss Lin who is about to get divorced?
Lin Keying was keenly aware that more men were trying to approach her in recent days.
Each of them wants to test whether their marriage is in trouble.
Lin Keying was just thinking about how to get rid of those people with dirty words written on their faces when she found that the security guards of Xitian Building had taken action.
Got someone's order and intercepted directly.
Lin Keying: "..."
She could ruthlessly dismiss the inquiries from other unfamiliar people, but when Lin Keying accepted the invitation from her good friend Dr. Huo to have dinner with her, she was a little surprised.
Dr. Huo also saw the news about Lin Keying's divorce published in the newspaper, and was only concerned about whether she had been wronged in the wealthy family.
"I was worried when I heard about your engagement. I heard that life in a wealthy family is not easy, there are too many intrigues, and many people may not be happy after marrying into it. Such a complicated life may not be suitable for your personality." Huo Huachen admitted that he had selfish thoughts, but now he has let them go. "Later, when I heard that you really wanted to get married according to the engagement, I also had some immoral selfish thoughts, thinking that if you are not happy after marriage, maybe I still have a chance. But now seeing the report, I don't think it's going to happen. Keying, are you okay now?"
Lin Keying was eating black truffle foie gras. She was stunned when she heard the words, but she couldn't say it directly: "Doctor Xiao Huo, you are really honest. But as you can see, how am I now?"
Howard Chen looked at the woman opposite him. She had a smile on her face and her eyes were still bright. She didn't look like she was troubled by a divorce.
"Same as before."
Lin Keying did not talk much about her plans, and could only be equally vague: "You and Sister He are worried about me, but I'm really fine."
Huo Huachen knew that Lin Keying had always been independent-minded and would not change her decision, so he could only support her: "It's just that there are rumors out there right now. Are there a lot of paparazzi following you?"
"It doesn't matter." Lin Keying has capable people around her, and there are also bodyguards arranged by Cheng Wanting to send, "It won't bother me."
After finishing her meal with Howard Huo, Lam Keying drove away alone. Several paparazzi around her had been captured by bodyguard Sheng Tielan, and the films they had taken were confiscated.
In the end, the gossip magazines and newspapers did not publish any news other than the divorce of the leader of Huanyu, and the feedback obtained by the people Liu Zhigao sent to monitor gradually confirmed the news of the divorce.
Cheng Wanting and Lin Keying haven't seen each other for a week.
"Boss Liu, it looks like Huanyu is really going to fail. The two shareholders of Huanyu that we bought out also privately revealed that at the shareholders' meeting, Cheng Wanting did not deny the rumors of divorce." The secretary was excited when reporting the latest situation to Liu Zhigao, "This week, Huanyu's stock price plummeted. Although Cheng Wanting is spending money to maintain it, it can't stop the general trend."
Liu Zhigao took a puff of his cigar and was silent for a while before speaking: "Cheng Wanting is very capable, but we should wait and see. Let shareholders Zhao and Chen stir up trouble behind the scenes. Such a person who makes decisions affects the future of Huanyu. We should have some opinions. Huanyu should not be a one-man show for Cheng Wanting."
"Yes." Tianxing Real Estate has been very active in the past two years, secretly bribing two shareholders of Huanyu to leak the news, and now it comes in handy.
"As for the rumors of Cheng Wanting's divorce, the truth will be revealed at the Hong Kong government's joint chamber of commerce dinner the day after tomorrow. Cheng Wanting has never been absent, and Lin Keying and Guo Changda are also on the invitation list."
The secretary became excited: "Just look at how Cheng Wanting and Lin Keying behave at the dinner party and you'll know if their marriage is really changing."
++++
The Hong Kong Government Joint Chamber of Commerce is controlled by the British Hong Kong government and British financial groups. The invited businessmen are all well-known figures in Hong Kong. The dinner party attended by politicians and businessmen is a feast of fame and fortune.
Looking down at the thin invitation letter in her hand, Lin Keying understood that this was the Hongmen Banquet.
Even at the Hongmen Banquet, Lin Keying also carefully selected her battle robe, as she couldn't let Liu Zhigao and those British businessmen watch her.
7pm Sunday evening.
The sun sets in the west, the sky gradually darkens, neon lights twinkle, and lights on both sides of the river come on. As the giant cruise ship slowly sails, the sky becomes darker and darker, spreading out a stroke of thick ink, setting off the brilliant lights.
The dinner hosted by the Hong Kong Government and the Joint Chamber of Commerce was held as scheduled. The red-carpeted room was filled with toasts and the sound of the piano mixed with conversations in Cantonese and English, composing a magnificent melody on its own.
However, today's important person has not yet arrived, and the others are also not in the mood to drink brandy.
It was not until the actual controller of the Chamber of Commerce Committee, British businessman William and Chamber of Commerce member Liu Zhigao entered the venue that everyone naturally greeted the strongest representatives of Hong Kong businessmen and British capital.
"Mr. Cheng hasn't arrived yet?" Liu Zhigao took a sip of brandy and found it even sweeter. "As expected, there are so many people busy, it seems that they really can't handle everything."
Everyone laughed in agreement. Only Liu Zhigao dared to say such words that secretly mocked the recent mess of Huanyu.
"Mr. Liu really cares about Huanyu." A deep male voice came through the laughter. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall and straight figure coming towards them at the door of the hall.
It was originally expected that Cheng Wanting should be in a state of disarray or exhausted as he was running around to deal with internal and external troubles and the crumbling world.
However, the man's aura was still strong as he walked towards the crowd with great strides, looking dignified and energetic.
There wasn't even a bit of the anxiety that it should have been.
Cheng Wanting stood calmly in front of Liu Zhigao, confronting him at a distance of two meters. When he took off his black windbreaker and handed it to Yang Minghui, he said nonchalantly: "Boss Liu cares about me so much, how could I not come."
The more Liu Zhigao saw that Cheng Wanting looked like nothing had happened, the more proud he felt.
Haha, just pretending to be calm.
"Huanyu has been unstable recently. It is really a great honor for Mr. Cheng to take time out of his busy schedule to attend the Chamber of Commerce dinner. But..." Liu Zhigao pretended to look around and said meaningfully, "Why did Mr. Cheng come alone? Mrs. Cheng didn't want to accompany you?"
All the wealthy businessmen came to today's dinner with their companions. When they heard Liu Zhigao implicitly shift the topic to the rumors of Cheng Wanting's divorce, they all became excited, with countless pairs of eyes drifting towards the topic and their ears perked up.
"Mr. Liu cares about a lot of things." Cheng Wanting smiled slightly, "It would be better if he cared more about his own home."
When these words came out, everyone took a deep breath.
Recently, Liu Zhigao's gossip was exposed by paparazzi. The mistresses he kept outside and his original wife were fighting with each other over the air, which was quite lively for a while.
However, no one at the dinner party dared to mention it to his face, but Cheng Wanting, who could hardly protect himself, dared to do so!
Liu Zhigao felt humiliated and snorted coldly. He was about to retaliate angrily when he heard noise coming from the door of the hall again.
Guo Changda and his wife, wealthy businessman who had not attended a public event for a long time, came. They were dressed simply and had calm expressions, which was out of place with everyone else who was dressed so solemnly and carefully.
Next to them stood a woman wearing a loose black suit and straight black trousers. Her thick, fluffy long hair fell down her back like cascading seaweed. Her steps were neat and steady and powerful. As she walked, the matte white shirt underneath formed a sharp contrast with the black of her coat.
The extreme black and white coincides with Cheng Wanting on the field.
Lifting her eyes to look at the crowd, the woman showed no fear of being scrutinized by countless pairs of inquiring eyes. Instead, her almond-shaped eyes were bright, and she looked back at everyone in the audience, calmly and beautifully.
They discovered that Mrs. Cheng, Lin Keying, was even more stunningly beautiful than the few times she had appeared in newspapers and on TV, and their eyes moved back and forth in amazement and curiosity.
With all the gossip protagonists present, who wouldn’t be excited!
At the dinner party, people should socialize and exchange pleasantries, expand their network of contacts in the upper class world, and it is also a good opportunity to discuss business.
But at this moment, nothing is as eye-catching as the rumors of their divorce, and Cheng Wanting and Lin Keying appearing at the same occasion.
In the huge banquet hall, Cheng Wanting was talking with several wealthy businessmen in the left corner, while Lin Keying was chatting with Guo Changda and his wife and some old friends at the right window about seven or eight meters away.
Guo Changda and Zhao Fengzhen had many friends when they were working hard together, and they couldn't help but reminisce about the past when they met now.
Several wealthy businessmen saw that Guo Changda's daughter was bright and beautiful, but her words and deeds were well-behaved and sensible, and she always stayed by their side, which was a rare good quality among young people.
"Feng Zhen, you have good vision. You have adopted a capable daughter who is as charming as you were in your youth." Mr. Li from the electronic toy industry also came with his son to socialize. He was very excited to see his old friend.
Zhao Fengzhen looked at Lin Keying with satisfaction, then turned to look at his old friend: "Keying is indeed quite smart in doing business. Young people are very lively and are better than their teachers."
"Ms. Lin." Mr. Li's son gentlemanly took a glass from the wine glasses piled up in the hall and handed it to Lin Keying. "This is specially prepared by the Chamber of Commerce. Would you like to try it?"
During the dinner, everyone had a glass of brandy. Lin Keying took it with a faint smile: "Thank you."
Holding the wine glass, Lin Keying placed her red lips on the rim of the glass. As she tilted her head slightly to drink the brandy, she sensed a strong gaze coming from the left.
It was like a thorn in the side, but it was fleeting.
The entire dinner lasted for three hours. Lin Keying and her godparents greeted many businessmen. There were constant enthusiastic gazes from all around, but she did not exchange a single word with her husband Cheng Wanting.
Everyone who didn't dare to discuss it face to face was certain in their hearts that the marriage was changing, it must be a marriage change!
The young talents in Hong Kong were deeply attracted by this bright and attractive woman who was about to take away much of Cheng Wanting's property.
But no matter how passionate the looks were, no one dared to show affection to his wife in front of Cheng Wanting.
Even if Lin Keying is about to become my ex-wife!
Liu Zhigao and the British merchants, who were the most courageous in the field and who had the worst relationship with Cheng Wanting, were naturally not afraid.
Several people came forward to exchange a few words with Guo Changda and his wife, then turned to look at Lin Keying: "Ms. Lin, your Hongsheng Entertainment Company has produced a TV series that is popular throughout Hong Kong, and Xitian Building is also becoming more and more famous. It seems that you have really inherited the true teachings of Mr. and Mrs. Guo."
Lin Keying smiled and said, "You're too kind. It's just a small thing. When it comes to doing business, I can't compare to Mr. Liu's amazing methods."
It sounded like a compliment, but Liu Zhigao felt something was odd.
Before he could further investigate, the British businessman Charles placed his right hand in front of Lin Keying and leaned forward to invite her: "Ms. Lin, it's rare for you to attend the dinner today. Why don't you dance with me?"
There were seven or eight pairs of men and women dancing the waltz on the dance floor in the corner of the hall, including couples, lovers, and single men and women who were invited voluntarily.
However, the person Charles invited was Lin Keying, and her Cheng Wanting, who might become her ex-husband but is not yet her ex-husband, was still in the corner discussing business with someone!
The dinner suddenly became quiet, and only the piano music entered a passionate section. The keys jumped on the player's fingertips, flowing out nerve-stirring music.
Charles didn't seem to care about the looks, and even turned around to look at the tall man on the other side: "Mr. Cheng, I invite Miss Lin to dance with me, you shouldn't mind, right?"
Everyone at the dinner party gasped. This, this, this is too horrible.
British businessman Charles actually went to ask Cheng Wanting directly!
Everyone present knew Cheng Wanting's wealth and means, and Charles's move was undoubtedly a deliberate provocation!
The man who was discussing business with someone nearby looked up at Charles' provocation. His eyes were as deep as the sea under his sharp eyebrows, and his gaze was so strong that it was hard to ignore that it lingered on the center of the topic.
It was also the first time tonight that he openly looked at the face of a woman in a suit.
Charles' original intention was to suppress and test Cheng Wanting, his defeated general who was about to be defeated, and he also wanted to let the beautiful Miss Lin see who the winner was as soon as possible. The two were about to divorce, and Cheng Wanting was also going to go bankrupt, so he was celebrating his victory in advance.
However, Cheng Wanting, who was always serious, had not spoken yet. He just glanced over, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, but a cold light flashed in them, and a heavy sense of oppression enveloped the head.
Charles was also tall, but he felt creepy and his back went cold when he was looked at by the man.
The atmosphere was stiff and the banquet hall was completely silent. Everyone's eyes wandered as if they were watching a good show, but when they saw Cheng Wanting curl his lips, they were stunned. It seemed that the air froze.
The man's sharp jawline became even more sinister as the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
With steady and powerful steps, he walked from the corner to the crowd, with a heavy momentum, and stood in the triangle position between Charles and Lin Keying.
"Mr. Charles, do you think I mind?" Cheng Wanting's eyes were cold and his voice was deep, carrying a strong sense of oppression.
Charles' face was frozen. In this silent eye contact, he was shocked by this man who was about to go bankrupt and become a pauper.
Cheng Wanting's eyes were like the muzzle of a gun with a cold glow, aiming at his forehead and shooting a bullet. Charles was shocked and was actually defeated.
Everyone present was shocked at the confrontation between Cheng Wanting and the British businessmen, especially now that Huanyu was stuck in a quagmire and he didn't even know how to retreat.
And...does Cheng Wanting still feel insulted when his soon-to-be-divorced wife was invited to dance, or are the rumors of his divorce false?
"I'm the one who should mind." Lin Keying's clear voice cut through the silence of the banquet hall, and she smiled and declined Charles, "Mr. Charles, you invite beautiful ladies to dance everywhere, but I won't accompany you."
Charles was helpless and wanted to explain, but he heard Lin Keying supporting Guo Changda and his wife and preparing to leave: "It's late, the godparents need to rest, we'll leave first, good night everyone."
The woman at the center of the topic left gracefully, leaving only a tall and neat back to everyone.
Charles calmed down and when he looked at Cheng Wanting again, he started to suspect that the look he had just seen was an illusion.
The eyes of the person in charge of Huanyu Group are always calm, just like at this moment.
He deliberately provoked: "Mr. Cheng, once you get divorced, you won't be qualified to mind."
Cheng Wanting curled his lips and said, "You guys also believe fake news like divorce? It's really ridiculous."
During the dinner, everyone recalled the scene in which Lin Keying and Cheng Wanting had no communication just now. They just felt that Cheng Wanting was forcing a smile in an attempt to maintain the stability of Huanyu's stock.
This is what it means to try to cover up one's own guilt.
++++
After separating from her godparents, Lam Keying was driven back to her new home in Phase 2 of Mid-Levels Villas by a driver.
It's really tiring to be at the dinner party for two hours.
Those political and business celebrities were like cunning people. Every word they said was an attempt to test whether her marriage with Cheng Wanting was going to end. There was never a moment of peace.
"Madam, the bath water is ready." Ah Mei massaged Madam's shoulders, then filled the bathtub in Lin Keying's bedroom with hot water of suitable temperature, added a few drops of essential oil to relieve fatigue, and finally sprinkled rose petals on it.
Lin Keying nodded softly, asked Ah Mei to go and rest first, and then she took a bath and prepared to go to bed.
Take a relaxing soak in the bathtub, and your body and mind will finally be soothed.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Keying, wrapped in a bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom barefoot on the floor dripping with water, but was stunned when she saw the man sitting at the head of the bed in the bedroom.
"You, why are you here!"
Cheng Wanting, who hadn't been seen for more than a week, suddenly appeared in his bedroom late at night!
The man stood up and moved closer, staring intently at the woman's fair cheeks after bathing. Only her snow-white neck and slender wrists and ankles were exposed under her bathrobe.
"Hurry up and leave. What if someone finds you?!"
Lin Keying felt that it was not easy to act out a divorce drama, especially since people like Liu Zhigao were suspicious by nature and not so easy to fool, and she could not let all her efforts go to waste.
Cheng Wanting felt aggrieved, but he could only grit his teeth and comfort her: "Don't worry, I came here very carefully and won't be discovered."
Lin Keying: "..."
Why does it sound a bit aggrieved?
