The end of the marriage: the CEO's husband is too dangerous

Chapter 165

"Mom, what did you do? Why did you come back now?" Lin Xi couldn't wait to ask as soon as she entered the room, her small body was lying on the quilt, her eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity.

Mu Li smiled and walked forward, sat down on the edge of the bed, stroking her little head, "Mom just answered the phone."

"Mom is lying!" Lin Xi retorted immediately, "I have all your mobile phones, how do you answer the phone?"

"Isn't there a landline in the room? I don't have a mobile phone, so I can still use the landline to make calls." Mu Li smiled, couldn't help but gently scratched the tip of Lin Xi's nose, and called her fondly, "Little fool."

Lin Xi was immediately discouraged, and Xu Shi didn't want to admit that she was a "little fool", so she vented all her grievances angrily, and said angrily, "It's all my father's fault! He only asked me to ask for your mobile phone." , didn’t remind me that I still have a landline!”

Mu Li suddenly realized that it was him...

"Sure enough, you went away for a long time after answering the phone." Lin Xi pouted aggrievedly, "It's all because Dad didn't think carefully, and it's all his fault!"

Noticing Lin Xi's little emotions, Mu Li hurriedly put away his heavy thoughts, and gently embraced her, "Okay, just this time, okay? I won't be like this in the future."

Lin Xi raised her head from her embrace all of a sudden, and said very considerately and understandingly: "Mom, if you have something to do, you can deal with it, and you can answer the phone if you want. You are an adult, and an adult has many things to do!"

"It's just—" Those big bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and his small appearance became aggrieved again, "Can you tell me, I'll be very scared waiting here."

"afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid you won't come back after you leave!" The so-called Tongyan Wuji may often express the deepest thoughts in his heart. Lin Xi pursed her mouth, her small eyes were innocent and wronged, expectant and timid.

Mu Li's heart seemed to have been hit hard. For a long time, she didn't know what to say, she could only smile slightly to ease the awkward atmosphere, and once again pulled Lin Xi into her arms, hugging and coaxing her gently.

"Mom, you're not leaving again, are you?"

"Well, not anymore."

"I'm really afraid you're leaving again."

"No, I won't leave in the future, I will stay with you."

"You have to do what you say, and you can't lie to me."

"I definitely didn't lie to you."

……

In the middle of the night, a bolt of lightning suddenly cut through the darkness and broke into the room.

For five years, Mu Li had been sleeping very lightly. As soon as a bright white light flashed, she opened her eyes, and then several lightning bolts lit up.

Lin Xi beside her was curled up with a small body, nestled under the quilt like a small shrimp, sleeping soundly, and did not notice the sudden change in the weather at all.

Such a sleeping position made Mu Li feel pity and pity again. Even in her sleep, she felt so insecure.

Seeing and watching, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to touch Lin Xi's sleeping face, but at the moment of touching, there was a thunderous "boom" outside the window, which made Lin Xi groan uncomfortably.

Mu Li quickly gathered up the quilt and wrapped her more tightly, so that she could feel more warmth.

Lin Xifu fell into a deep sleep again, but Mu Li couldn't fall asleep anyway. She leaned against the head of the bed and stared at the darkness outside the window without blinking.

After the lightning and thunder, the raindrops began to fall, and it turned into a downpour in an instant.

Before summer, Rongcheng rarely had such strong rainfall.

Lin Xi twisted her body uneasily again, before she woke up, Mu Li put his hands on her curled up back, and finally she no longer frightened.

"There will be a heavy rain tonight, remember to protect the peanuts from the rain first." Looking at Lin Xi's sleeping face, this sentence rang in his ears for no reason.

That was the conversation between Lin Jinqian and Luo He at night. They seemed to be chatting casually, without saying a word, and Lin Jinqian said such a sentence for no reason.

There was simply no sign of it.

--It is going to rain.

In a trance, this sentence came to my ears again.

——If no one goes to the back mountain, when will it be discovered?

— will soon find out.

——Has anyone gone to the back mountain?
--It is going to rain.

It was the night of the [-]th birthday of the old man of the Lin family, a night that was destined to be restless, they accidentally ran into Hou Shan, and what Lin Jinqian said.

And tonight, he said something similar.

Will something happen again?

Lin Xi next to her was sleeping more and more soundly, the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and Mu Li's thoughts were getting heavier and heavier. In the dark, there was a feeling pulling her, as if something was about to happen .

While meditating, there seemed to be movement outside the door.

Mu Li couldn't help sitting up straight, staring at it with bated breath, the light from the aisle came through the gap under the door, and there seemed to be a figure shaking.

Mu Li lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked gently to the door, listened quietly for a while, and then opened the door.

The moment the door opened, the tall man came into view, and the light from the aisle shone from behind him, setting him off like a pine and cypress.

Lin Jinqian looked a little surprised, a little abrupt, and even more at a loss.

The four eyes met, the air was so quiet that only the sound of rain was left, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

It was Mu Li who broke the deadlock first, "Why don't you sleep?"

Lin Jinqian was brought back to reality by this question, and lowered his eyes as if deliberately avoiding her gaze, "It's raining outside, I'm worried that Xiaoxi won't sleep well, come and have a look."

"Oh." Mu Li responded, "Didn't you let me stay with Xiao Xi? What else is there to worry about?"

The low voice contained some complaints, how could Lin Jinqian fail to hear it?She was blaming him for teaching Xiaoxi to ask for her mobile phone and not allowing her to communicate with the outside world.

"Since you are with me, then I'll go back, and you should go back to rest soon." Lin Jinqian finally said only this, and then turned and went back to the room.

Mu Li didn't say anything to stop him, but stood at the door and watched him walk a few steps, then closed the door.

There was a soft door closing sound behind her, indicating that she had returned to the house, and the pace of leaving stopped almost at the same moment. Lin Jinqian turned around, staring at the closed door for a long time.

——After all this is over, I will send you to a distant place, no longer need to go to a distant place where you can't fall asleep in the middle of the night.

……

The room was pitch-black, only the occasional flashes of lightning breaking through the sky outside the window could bring a short-lived light.

Mu Li leaned against the door, her brown pupils were round and wide open, she didn't feel sleepy, and his stunned face seemed to be reflected in front of her eyes.

It's hard to imagine him showing a look of astonishment.

The more she thought about it, the more Mu Li got stuck in it without knowing it. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xi woke up dimly, and found that there was no one around her, and started to sob softly, pulling her out of the sluggish state. back.

……

Early this morning, Murray woke up to the repeated bombing of bells.

Perhaps it was because he slept too late last night, and later coaxed Lin Xi to fall asleep again and then fell asleep so deeply. Mu Li's biological clock, which usually wakes up naturally, has failed.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and reached out to touch the direction of the ringtone, but it was Lin Xi who handed her the phone, "Mom, your phone keeps ringing."

Mu Li replied in a daze, sat up and pressed the answer button, his still-awake mind had already forgotten to see who was calling first.

It wasn't until Du Sheng's anxious voice flew into her ears that she was woken up.

Du Sheng shouted anxiously, "What's going on? How did Lin Xuntai die on the way back to Rongcheng?"

His voice was too loud, so loud it was unreal.

Mu Li's eyes widened suddenly, and he saw clearly the surrounding decorations, and even more clearly saw that it was Lin Xi sitting by the bed, looking at her suspiciously.

There was Du Sheng's questioning again and again, and he asked in such a hurry that Mu Li couldn't hear anything clearly.

It wasn't until she recovered her lost voice that she seemed to regain her sanity. She asked Du Sheng, "What did you just say?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, the air was still, and then there was an explosion. Du Sheng cursed, "Muli! Are you still sleeping? Do you still want to find out the truth? Go find out quickly, why did Lin Xuntai suddenly die?" Returning to Rongcheng?!"

Returning to Rongcheng... Under the guidance of these three words, Mu Li finally remembered what the initial shout was.

She hardly hesitated anymore, and even more ignored Lin Xi's existence, she threw off the quilt and ran downstairs.

She ran so fast that she even forgot to wear her slippers, and she even forgot to put on a coat in the morning after the rainstorm. She clutched the mobile phone that she had hung up and ran downstairs quickly.

However, before going down to the first floor, standing on the stairs, she saw Lin Jinqian in front of the French window, with this morning's newspaper on his lap, and Luo He was standing in front of him, lowering his head as if reporting something.

And on the TV, the morning news is being broadcast——

"At [-]:[-] am today, due to the sudden heavy rain, the highway section of the airport collapsed, causing traffic congestion and paralysis. At the same time, a car was driving from the airport back to the city last night, because the road was slippery, and accidentally rushed out of the highway Fence."

"The incident caused two deaths and one injury. The deceased was the former executive vice president of Lin's Huanyu, Lin Xuntai and the driver. The injured was his father, Lin Yuan, the former vice president of finance of Huanyu. Lin Yuan is currently in a coma and is still in danger..."

Although they were far away, Mu Li, who was standing on the stairs, could still see clearly on the TV screen, the wreckage of the car that rushed out of the high-speed fence and fell into the mountain after the explosion.

Even with the rain washing away, the car still ignited beyond recognition.

The police sealed off the accident area, and Mu Li saw Du Sheng, wearing a raincoat, walking down the hillside himself...

"Okay, you go and deal with it first." Lin Jinqian's indifferent voice came from the frozen air, Mu Li looked away from the screen, and followed Luo He's figure.

When Luo He walked to the door, she suddenly yelled, "Assistant Luo Te, where did Ayan go? When will she come back?"

Luo He stopped, hesitated for a few seconds, turned around, and replied respectfully: "Ma'am, Ayan's aunt is ill, and she will go back to her hometown to visit, and it may take some time before she comes back."

"Is it serious?" Mu Li asked again, "How long will it take to come back, are you sure?"

Luo He hesitated, he silently cast his eyes on Lin Jinqian.

Lin Jinqian looked down at the morning newspaper on his lap, but didn't make a sound, let alone pay attention to it.

Therefore, Luo He pursed his lips, and said hesitantly: "After a while, she will come back. During this period, the wife will have to work hard to take care of the young miss."

Mu Li bent his lips, wanted to smile but couldn't, only showing a bitter curve, "It's okay, you go to work, Xiaoxi, I will take care of it."
