Life 1984

The Lunar New Year of 1997 is approaching.

There was a heavy snowfall in Gusu City.

Li Yunhai and Su Wan'er will wait until the snow melts and then go to Hong Kong together.

As for her daughter Xiao Min, she was left at the Su family and handed over to the Su parents.

On the eve of the return to China, Hong Kong coincided with the Spring Festival and was filled with the laughter of tourists from the mainland.

Li Yunhai brought Su Wan'er and quietly came to Hong Kong.

He didn't tell Linzhi and the others that he was coming.

Li Yunhai has more than one villa in Repulse Bay in Hong Kong.

He has several villas like that in Hong Kong, and even more houses. He and Su Wan'er live in a villa in Deep Water Bay.

Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay are not far apart.

Repulse Bay is located southwest of Deep Water Bay, only a few kilometers apart. It can be reached in a few minutes by car.

Deep Water Bay is closer to the city, and it only takes 20 minutes to walk to Ocean Park.

Because Guo Wanhua lived in Repulse Bay, Shen Xiulan and Lin Zhi also chose to live there.

Li Yunhai had already bought properties in Hong Kong a long time ago and had purchased houses in many prosperous locations.

As the name suggests, the water in Deep Water Bay is relatively deep, generally more than 15 meters deep, which is more suitable for adults to swim and dive, and the beach is also larger.

The water in Repulse Bay is much shallower, making it suitable for playing with children.

After Li Yunhai and Su Wan'er moved into the villa in Deep Water Bay, they received a call from Lin Zhi.

Among these women, only Linzhi was most concerned about his whereabouts.

Even though they were divorced, Lin Zhi's control over him never stopped, and it was even worse than before!

Before the divorce, if Li Yunhai was on a business trip, the two would only talk on the phone once a day at most. When they were busy, they would only talk once every two or three days.

Now, Linzhi greets you morning and evening!
Especially when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Lin Zhi called Li Yunhai almost three times a day, asking him where he was going to spend the New Year so that she could make arrangements.

Because the two were divorced, the elders in the family didn't know about it.

If only one person from each party goes home for the New Year, the adults will definitely ask.

If they hadn't discussed it beforehand, they would have been exposed.

Li Yunhai answered Lin Zhi's call.

Lin Zhi asked, "I kept calling you, why did you always turn off your phone?"

Li Yunhai said: "Because I'm on the plane."

Lin Zhi was confused and asked, "What were you doing on the plane? Where did you go?"

Li Yunhai said: "I'm in Hong Kong."

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "You've come to Xiangjiang? Where are you? I'll pick you up?"

Li Yunhai was silent for a moment, and said, "No need to pick me up, I'm already in the city."

Lin Zhi said happily: "That's great! I was just about to ask you, where are we going to celebrate the New Year this year? Will we go back to our hometown?"

Li Yunhai said lazily: "You're not going home, are you? You're just spending the New Year in Hong Kong."

"Sure! Anyway, we go home every year to spend time with the elderly, and they must be tired of us! Hehe, let's just spend a happy New Year outside! I'll prepare dinner and wait for you to come back."

"Linzhi, I——"

"Okay, I'm going to buy groceries now. Bye! Be careful on your way."

After saying that, Lin Zhi hung up the phone.

Li Quhai looked at his phone in astonishment.

Su Wan'er was still in shock at the luxurious villa in Hong Kong.

This ultra-modern luxury seaside villa refreshed her understanding of housing.

When Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi were talking on the phone, Su Wan'er pricked up her ears and listened.

At this moment, seeing Li Yunhai put down his phone, she walked over lightly, took Li Yunhai's arm, and said coquettishly: "You want to go see her?"

Li Yunhai put his arm around her waist and said, "I'll go see the kids."

Su Wan'er asked faintly, "What about me?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "Will you come with me?"

Su Wan'er was surprised: "You dare to take me to see her?"

"Don't you dare?"

"I don't know why, but I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know! I'm just scared! She is your ex-wife after all!"

"I got together with you after I divorced her. What are you afraid of?"

"I, I have no status! If you get a marriage certificate with me, then of course I won't be afraid of anything."

"Well, if you're scared, you can stay here. I'll go check on the kids."

"No, I'm here alone, I don't know anyone here, I'm even more scared. Forget it, I'll just go with you and take a look! Hey, how are you going to introduce me to her?"

"Haha! You are my girlfriend!"

Su Wan'er thought about it and felt that the title of girlfriend was quite nice.

girlfriend!
This is the name used by a man and a woman to be together openly before getting married!

If they are lovers, then they cannot be seen in public!

Su Wan'er smiled and said, "Okay! I will go to see Lin Zhi as your current girlfriend."

But then she became worried again: "Will your children accept me?"

Li Yunhai pondered and said, "If they knew you were my woman, they might not accept you, and might even regard you as an enemy!"

Su Wan'er was startled and knew that Li Yunhai was not joking.

Li Yunhai said: "So, I will only introduce you to Lin Zhi and say that you are my girlfriend. As for the children, I won't tell them your identity, okay?"

Su Wan'er nodded: "Okay. I have to buy some gifts for the children, right?"

Li Yunhai said: "Let's go buy it now."

They came to the city.

Su Wan'er was a little confused and didn't know what kind of gifts to buy for the children.

Those three children are all Li Yunhai’s biological children!
If Su Wan'er wants to be the queen in the future, she must learn how to get along with three children.

Deep down, she wanted to please these three children.

Li Yunhai said: "Just buy them the four treasures of the study. They will learn calligraphy and painting from you in the future. You buy them the brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, which will be exactly what they need."

Su Wan'er did as she was told and bought a lot of things, dividing them into several portions.

Li Yunhai said: "There are a few more children, you have to prepare gifts as well."

He was talking about the two children from Shen Xiulan's family and An An from Guo Wanhua's family.

The two bought gifts and then headed to Repulse Bay.

When we arrived at our residence in Linzhi, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yunhai shouted outside the door.

The eldest daughter, Li Yanxi, heard her father's call, ran out happily and opened the door for Li Yunhai.

"Dad is back!" Li Yanxi jumped up happily, hung on Li Yunhai's neck, and kissed him on the face.

Li Yunhai touched his daughter's head and said with a smile: "Do you miss me?"

"Yes! Of course I do! Have you missed us?" Li Yanxi smiled brightly.

Li Yunhai said: "Of course I did!" "Dad! Dad!"

Li Yanrui and Li Yanzheng ran out one after another, rushed over, and threw themselves into Li Yunhai's arms.

Li Yunhai hugged them and let them kiss his face as much as they wanted.

People who have children are like kites. No matter how far they go, the string is always held in the hands of their children.

Li Yunhai is not a cruel person who can give up everything and find another good person.

He can't let go of his children!

Every time he saw his children’s faces filled with joy when they saw him, his heart would become unusually soft.

Lin Zhi came out with a sincere smile on her face.

However, when she saw Su Wan'er was there, her smile gradually disappeared.

She had a strong premonition!

The relationship between Su Wan'er and Li Yunhai is probably not ordinary!
Su Wan'er gave the gifts to the children.

The children smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Su."

Su Wan'er gently stroked her hair, looked up and met Lin Zhi's eyes, and they nodded to each other.

Lin Zhi's eyes flickered, and she tried to suppress her unhappiness. She walked over, took Li Yunhai's hand, and said, "Yunhai, you're finally back! We've all been thinking about you!"

She acted particularly intimate, just to show it to Su Wan'er.

Su Wan'er really found it hard to accept.

Didn’t you say you were divorced?
Why are you still hugging me?

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "I'm busy working in Gusu! I've been too busy lately!"

Lin Zhi said: "I know you are busy, so I didn't disturb you."

Li Yunhai glanced at Su Wan'er.

Su Wan'er's face flushed and she picked her toes in embarrassment.

Li Yunhai gave her a deep look, and walked into the house with Lin Zhi and his children hugging him.

Linzhi and two Filipino maids prepared a sumptuous meal.

Filipino maids eat alone, but the meals they eat are the same as those of their employers.

While eating, Lin Zhi kept putting food into Li Yunhai's bowl and said, "Gusu's food doesn't suit your taste, right?"

Li Yunhai said, "It's not bad! Some of the dishes are delicious."

Su Wan'er said, "Sister Linzhi, don't worry. I cooked for him in Gusu, and he loves it!"

These words were obviously provocative and also declared one's own status.

Lin Zhi was not a pushover either, she smiled slightly and said, "Really? That's really too much for you! My Yunhai is a very picky eater! For the past ten years, he only likes to eat the food I cook. Even the delicacies from the mountains and the sea are not as delicious as what I cook. Men are like this, occasionally eating out for a few meals, they feel that the taste is a little special, but if you eat too much, you will get tired of it, and then you will miss the stir-fried dishes at home. Yunhai is from Xizhou, he is used to eating spicy food, Miss Su, I'm afraid you can't eat spicy food?"

Su Wan'er bit the corner of her lip.

Lin Zhi's words touched her sore spot!

Su Wan'er really can't eat spicy food.

Therefore, when she was in Gusu, she rarely cooked chili dishes, and even if she did, she only cooked them for Li Yunhai to improve his diet.

Although Li Yunhai didn't say it, he still missed the delicious food from his hometown.

Sometimes, Li Yunhai would take Su Wan'er to a restaurant and order Hunan cuisine.

Unfortunately, the peppers from other provinces are not as spicy as those from my hometown!

The stir-fried chili dishes don’t taste like that at all!
Even so, Li Yunhai ate with gusto.

Su Wan'er also realized that Li Yunhai still missed the chili dishes from his hometown.

The flavor of hometown is a habit engraved in people’s genes and is difficult to change.

Li Yunhai noticed the strong smell of gunpowder and said with a smile, “The dishes you cook are all delicious.”

Lin Zhi asked, "Then tell me, whose dish do you like best?"

Faced with such a life-threatening question, Li Yunhai responded easily: "Of course my mother's cooking is the most authentic! Don't you like it too? When you came to my house, you wanted to eat more!"

Lin Zhi burst out laughing and said, "That's true! I've been learning how to cook from my mom, but I'm still a little short of the mark! Next year when we go home, I'll have to learn from her and learn how to make our pig blood meatballs."

Su Wan'er had no chance to get a word in because she didn't understand the customs or cuisine of Li Yunhai's hometown.

She didn't even know what pig blood balls were.

The three children were even more considerate and caring towards their father, and put all the delicious dishes into Li Yunhai's bowl.

Li Yunhai also picked up some food for his three children.

In a trance, Su Wan'er felt that they were a family and she was an outsider.

Li Yunhai brought her here just to make her understand one thing: if she wanted to be with Li Yunhai for a long time, she must accept this atmosphere!
If Su Wan'er wants to monopolize Li Yunhai, then she will lose Li Yunhai!
Su Wan'er had no appetite. It wasn't because the food was bad, but because the atmosphere made it impossible for her to eat.

Li Yunhai ate with gusto and only put down his chopsticks after finishing three big bowls of rice.

He burped, touched his belly, and said with a smile: "This dish is really authentic, and these dried chilies are also very good! Very spicy!"

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "I asked my dad to send it to me from home! He knows we all like to eat the chili peppers at home! When the fresh chili peppers come out next year, I will go home and bring more."

The children have had their winter vacation.

After dinner, Li Yunhai arranged for Su Wan'er to teach the children together with Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi lives in Li's house and will not go home for the New Year this year.

In the Li family, Liu Ruyi was not considered a servant; she enjoyed the treatment of a visiting professor.

The Li family treated her like a VIP.

This is also the reason why Liu Ruyi can stay in the Li family.

Su Wan'er and Liu Ruyi taught the children music, calligraphy and painting.

Lin Zhi and Li Yunhai were chatting alone in the living room.

"Miss Su, are you going to stay in Hong Kong this time and be a tutor for the children?" Lin Zhi asked.

"Well, why don't you ask her? See if she's willing!"

"Otherwise, why did you bring her here?"

"What do you think? I'm a bachelor now, so I have to have a woman by my side, right?"

"What? She's your woman? No way?"

"Why not? She's very beautiful! It wouldn't be embarrassing for her to be my girlfriend."

"Hey, Li Yunhai, you better understand! If you keep playing like this, we can't get remarried!"

"Remarry? You're kidding, aren't you? Didn't you say you were going to remarry? If you can remarry, why can't I find another woman?"

"You know very well that I was just saying that in anger! But you are doing the real thing, right?"

"Yes! I've already done it! I'm divorced now, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to look for anyone, right?"

"Li Yunhai, if you keep doing this, you will destroy this family sooner or later!"

"Linzhi, you need to figure out who destroyed this family? Who asked for a divorce? And who said she wanted to remarry? You said you were just joking? But why do I feel like you were serious? When you said you wanted a divorce, I thought you were just joking! But you really did!"

"What do you want? You brought another woman to me. Are you trying to show that you are still attractive? You can find a younger and prettier woman than me, right? Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"

Li Yunhai said: "No. I don't have such thoughts! I am single now, and whatever I do is right, allowed, and legal. And you already know that I have a woman outside!"

Lin Zhi was stunned for a while, then said resentfully, "So what? How are we going to get along now? Are you going to sleep here tonight? Or go back to her place? Or go to Shen Xiulan's place? Give me a definite answer!"

Yes!

Where are you going to sleep tonight?

This is indeed a problem for Li Yunhai! (End of this chapter)
