Chapter 48 - 48: Reservation of The Sewer Package

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was already a bloody storm outside, but Yujing Peak was extremely peaceful.

Lin Wanli had a nap with Huo Jiuxiao. When she woke up, she just missed the Lin Group’s statement. However, Lin Wanli took her time. After giving Youran a bath, she sat on the bed and told her a bedtime story. After Youran fell asleep, she handed her over to Aunt Qi.

Yan Qiu brought dinner over and reported the progress to Lin Wanli, “This is the Lin Group’s statement.”

Lin Wanli took the phone and took a look. Then, she smiled calmly, “They’re in a hurry to offer a victim.”

“Then when do we counterattack?”

“Aren’t there two prime time slots in a day?” Lin Wanli raised her eyebrows. Yan Qiu immediately understood and nodded, “I’ll arrange it immediately.” “Then, has the gift for Old Madam Yue been delivered?”

“It has been delivered.” Yan Qiu replied, “But will she really contact us?”

“Yes.” Lin Wanli said firmly.

“Do we leave Master Xiao alone?”

“He’s still sleeping.” Lin Wanli answered casually, but it made Yan Qiu blush.

Lin Wanli found her reaction a little strange. Then it struck her. They were husband and wife. Who would believe that they did nothing when they slept together? Therefore, she did not stop other people’s imaginations.

“Let our enemies be happy for a while longer tonight. After all, there aren’t many such opportunities left.”

“Then have you and Master Xiao talked things out?” Yan Qiu couldn’t help but gossip.

“I don’t know.” Lin Wanli shook her head.

What was considered settled?

Ten minutes later, Lin Wanli quietly entered Huo Jiuxiao’s room with some food. The person on the bed was still buried in the blanket, sleeping soundly.

Perhaps it was a nightmare, but Huo Jiuxiao gripped the black blanket tightly. His brows were furrowed, and his forehead was soon covered in sweat.

Seeing that, Lin Wanli immediately got on the bed and hugged Huo Jiuxiao’s neck, pulling him into her arms. Because at that moment, Huo Jiuxiao was like a broken mirror.

In a daze, Huo Jiuxiao suddenly opened his eyes and saw the face right before him. He leaned over and started to kiss her fiercely.

When Lin Wanli could no longer breathe, he let go of her and whispered into her ear, “This is the only way to comfort a man.”

“Ok, I’ll remember.” Lin Wanli’s lips had lost color from the kiss, but it did not diminish her charm.

Then, Huo Jiuxiao propped himself up and looked at the clock on the bedside table. He then got up and walked to the bathroom. When he came out, he was

wearing a black bathrobe and handed a towel to Lin Wanli, “Dry my hair. I’m going out.”

Lin Wanli took the towel and followed him to the armchair. Huo Jiuxiao started to eat after he sat down while Lin Wanli squeezed behind him to dry his hair.

They each did their own things, and neither of them spoke. The quiet space, which should have been a little awkward, was unexpectedly harmonious.

A few minutes later, Lin Wanli’s feet felt numb. She wanted to get off the sofa, but her slippers were left on the other side.

Just then, Huo Jiuxiao quietly changed the side her slippers were on and continued to eat, as if the earlier scene was Lin Wanli’s illusion.

Lin Wanli looked at Huo Jiuxiao’s back, her throat burning.

“Being moved by such a small matter shows that you are easy to deceive in the eyes of sc*mbags.”

[But I’m just very happy.]

Huo Jiuxiao didn’t say anything else. He didn’t know if he should feel sad or pitiful. She’s a person who lacked love, yet she shamelessly said that she wanted to give him a lot of love. However, he didn’t mock her. After dinner, he changed into a set of black clothes and was about to leave. Before he left, he turned to Lin Wanli and said, “Just sleep here. There’s no need to wait.”

Song Huaishu leaned against the car door and waited for Master Xiao downstairs. When he saw him, he immediately went up to him. “Master, something big has happened. Everyone in Jinchuan is scolding

Madam now.”

[Sigh. Judging from Master Xiao’s expression, there’s a high chance that he won’t care. When will he start to court his wife seriously?]

He had a lot of thoughts for someone at such a young age.

Huo Jiuxiao snorted and got into the car. He didn’t answer Song Huaishu’s question but took out his phone to read the news.

Recalling the woman’s expression, Huo Jiuxiao locked his phone and suddenly said, “That reporter…”

Song Huaishu immediately turned to Huo Jiuxiao and asked, ‘Which reporter?”

“The one who wrote that trash post. Make arrangements for him.” After he finished speaking, Huo Jiuxiao casually unlocked his phone again and started playing a mobile shooting game, “After she counterattacks.” The arrangement Huo Jiuxiao mentioned was usually a sewer package.

After hearing Huo Jiuxiao’s words, Song Huaishu’s eyes lit up, “Got it.”

That reporter would never have thought that he was about to welcome a mixed doubles match. One could ruin his reputation, and the other…would make him fear for his life.

At the pier, at ten o’clock, a cool breeze blew. However, there were many old ships docked nearby. Coupled with the dilapidated state, there was a fishy smell that made people nauseous.

Huo Jiuxiao leaned against the car door and played a game. Soon, someone snatched his phone away, “I didn’t expect you to take over Secretary Weng’s son’s case and personally bail him out. I don’t believe that you’re interested. Do you have a reason?”

“No, I don’t.” Huo Jiuxiao looked at the person who came and snatched his phone back. He closed the game interface that showed that he was eliminated,

“I only want to know the investigation results.”

“The person who attacked you has something to do with the Huo Family. You’ve been away from the Huo Family for so many years. Why don’t your father’s wives plan to let you off?”

Huo Jiuxiao didn’t have much of an expression, as if he was already used to it.

Because the Huo Family was a dead knot.

As long as one party didn’t die, they must keep scheming against each other.

“Where is he?” Huo Jiuxiao asked.

The person turned around and searched in an old boat. Then, he threw a man tied up in front of Huo Jiuxiao. Huo Jiuxiao kicked the man in the next second and sent him flying onto the stone bench. Then, he moved closer and strangled the man’s neck. He only needed to use a little force, and the man could die anytime.

At that moment, Song Huaishu’s breathing tightened because he feared Huo Jiuxiao would kill him. If that happened, there would be no turning back.

[Master, you have a family. You have Madam and Little Miss. Can’t you think about them?]

Because of Song Huaishu’s inner thoughts, Huo Jiuxiao thought of Lin Wanli’s words.

Can’t you look at us?

In the end, he let go. At that moment, the remaining three people heaved a sigh of relief simultaneously. Then, Huo Jiuxiao stood up, dusted himself off, and ordered his subordinates, “Screw him up more. Send him to the Huo Family and tell them not to cross the line again.”

“What about you? When can you let go of your mother’s matter and live a normal life?”

Song Huaishu thought that Master Xiao was doing quite well in that aspect.

Didn’t he already get married and even have a daughter who was one year old?

Under the dim light, Huo Jiuxiao looked like a bottomless black hole.

His gaze was filled with laziness and annoyance, and his thoughts were the same. What was there to look forward to in the world?

He became even more irritable, especially when he thought of the Huo Family. Just as he was about to ask Song Huaishu to drive to the bar, Huo Jiuxiao’s phone screen suddenly lit up.

Lin Wanli sent him a message, “Huo Jiuxiao, if anything bad happens today, remember to come home. I can’t stop it from happening, but I can let you sleep well.”

Huo Jiuxiao looked at the message repeatedly and suddenly laughed.

The alcohol didn’t seem as attractive as Lin Wanli’s lips.

However, her wings could barely bear her weight, yet she was trying to copy others to fight the mountain fire?

On the other side, in the Lin Family’s villa.

After the incident, Father Lin had been feeling uneasy because the matter with the reporter had gone out of control. He had clearly called the other party to warn him not to expose Lin Wanli’s news. But not only did the other party not listen, he even caused the matter to become a hot topic in the headlines and went out of control.

“Huaijing, why aren’t you asleep yet? Do you still have a headache?” Mother Lin woke up in the middle of the night and saw her husband sitting on the bed. She quickly turned on the bedside lamp.

Father Lin quickly put away his phone because there were still chat records of him and Mother Ye….
