Chapter 8

After putting down her phone, Lin Wanli took Youyou, who was still sound asleep, from Huo Jiuxiao’s hands and carefully placed her on the small bed.

That’s right. She was actually going home, not for a check-up.

However, she did not communicate with Huo Jiuxiao at all. She did not even look him in the eyes.

When Assistant Yan Qiu saw this, she asked Lin Wanli softly, “Aren’t you going to send Mr. Huo off?”

“No need.” Lin Wanli shook her head. She kept her promise.

Huo Jiuxiao, on the other hand, turned around to look at the woman who was guarding the bedside and clearly heard her thoughts.

[Should I set him free?]

Huo Jiuxiao did not say anything. He turned around and left the villa without looking back.

Because of mind-reading, he could know the dirtiest thoughts in the world, so he had long been used to the darkness of human nature and never paid any feelings to the people around him. However, this woman had been hugging the little bit of warmth that he had given her for two years, keeping him through every difficult night.

“Master Xiao, now that President Lin is back, does it mean that we don’t have to fly to France every week anymore?” The subordinate asked Huo Jiuxiao excitedly when he saw him leave.

Initially, his subordinates wanted to address Lin Wanli as Madam, but Lin Wanli did not acknowledge her identity. Therefore, everyone around Huo Jiuxiao called her President Lin.

“Bring my luggage here.” Huo Jiuxiao ordered.

Want freedom?

Dream on.

“Ah?” The subordinate was stunned. This was… Are they really becoming husband and wife?

Huo Jiuxiao did not repeat himself. He did not have a good impression of this ugly world, but Lin Wanli was very pure. Being with her allowed him to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. Therefore, although Lin Wanli was the one who started it, he had the final say when it would end. It would only when he said it ended.

…

In the kitchen, Lin Wanli made lunch for Youyou and warmed it in the pot before returning to the bedroom.

Looking at her daughter’s sleeping face, she said softly, “Mommy will be a little busy recently. Baby, you have to be obedient.”

“President Lin, do you really not need me to follow you?” Yan Qiu asked.

Lin Wanli shook her head. “I’m just a publicly acknowledged good-for-nothing for the time being. Why are you following me? Youyou has just returned to the country. Help me take care of her. I don’t trust anyone but you.”

In her previous life, the scene of Youyou being thrown into the trash can by the nanny was still vivid in her mind. In this life, Lin Wanli was very wary of the nanny. Even though she knew that the nanny Huo Jiuxiao hired would never betray her master, she still needed to be watched by Yan Qiu.

“Be careful.”

“No one will guard against trash.” Lin Wanli sneered.

“Sooner or later, we’ll let those people see your true identity. They’re not worthy!”

Lin Wanli looked at her daughter reluctantly before she drove away from the villa. The medical examination was just a cover. She just wanted to go home to take care of her daughter. At the same time, she wanted to create a trap for Ye Zhenzhen.

Of course, before she left, she asked the doctor to make all the preparations.

…

It was ten o’clock in the morning when she entered the Lin Family’s house again.

The atmosphere in the living room was heavy, and everyone was on guard. Father Lin sat on the sofa with his arms crossed in anger while Mother Lin looked at Lin Wanli worriedly.

In front of the three of them was a phone. The phone was playing a photo of Lin Wanli hugging and kissing the doctor.

“Wanli, tell me honestly. Did you disappear for two years or something else?”

Lin Wanli pretended to be confused. “I don’t understand what you mean, Father.”

“Did you really go missing or elope with a man?” Father Lin could not take it anymore and voiced out the doubts in his heart. “What trap? What rescue? You ran away with a man and now you’re finding an excuse to come home, right? What do you think your parents are?”

After hearing Father Lin’s words, Lin Wanli laughed in anger and asked, “Father, do you know how much it hurts to talk about me like this? Also, where did this video come from?”

“Don’t worry about this!”

“In other words, I just came back, and someone is already following me?”

“Following you? I’m just concerned about you. Otherwise, would I let you fool around with those shady men and then cause a ruckus in the Lin Family?” Father Lin stood up from the sofa and said agitatedly.
