Chapter 23 The Wife in Name
Knowing that Shangguan Yanting would not come back so early, Li Manrong didn't go back to the villa directly.Accompanied by Mo Linlang and Ouyang Xinxin for a lot of shopping, watching Ouyang Xinxin's crazy buying of famous brands, Mo Linlang and Li Manrong couldn't help feeling ashamed.

"Xinxin, no wonder you always say that you don't have enough pocket money. Of course it's not enough in such a way of spending." Mo Linlang complained.

Shaking the shopping bag in her hand, Ouyang Xinxin said with a smile: "Hey, money is spent after earning it. Even if my parents don't love me, I have to love myself, don't you think so?"

Ouyang Xinxin's family is also a well-known family in Ludao City.And to her, it's nothing.Because in the eyes of her parents, only her sister is the apple of the eye.And she is at home, like the existence of air.

Li Manrong nodded, and said in agreement: "Yes, no one loves us, we have to love ourselves. But you, you'd better save some for yourself. This way, no matter what you do, it will be convenient."

Ouyang Xinxin waved her arms, put her arms around Li Manrong's neck, and said with a smile: "Manrong, did Cousin Shangguan give you a credit card or something? Anyway, you are also his wife in name, so it shouldn't be bad for you. Sometimes you Gotta go to the party, remember to dress up."

With a slight smile on her lips, Li Manrong patted her on the shoulder: "Why do you need his card? We are not a real couple. If we really want to attend the party, I think he will take care of it."

Thinking about it, Ouyang Xinxin kindly reminded, and said: "Remember, don't fall in love with him. I heard that he is very ruthless to women."

Ruthless... Thinking of the scene when he applied medicine to her that day, Li Manrong's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, yes." Li Manrong said softly.

Holding her hands together, Mo Linlang said with emotion: "I don't know when I will be able to marry myself. It would be wonderful if I could marry an excellent man."

Hearing this, Li Manrong jokingly said: "I thought you would say that it would be nice to marry a tall, rich and handsome man."

After waving his hand, Mo Linlang raised his eyebrows and said, "Nowadays the tall, rich and handsome are unreliable, and those who are more skinny will cheat or something. Me, I just need to find someone who is good to me and looks decent. I don't need How rich, that's what I want."

Everyone has fantasies about the other half of their lives, Li Manrong suddenly worried, after the contract between herself and Shangguan Yanting ended, would she still find a lifelong partner?After all, when the time comes, she will become a divorced young woman, and thinking about it gives her a chill.

When Li Manrong finally returned home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.Seeing that the lights at home were still dim, she knew that Shangguan Yanting hadn't come back yet.Dragging his exhausted body back to the bedroom, he slumped on the sofa.

Eyes half-closed, lazily drooping hands casually.Thinking that he might not be coming back for a while, Li Manrong dragged herself towards the bathroom.In order to relieve the fatigue on her body, Li Manrong filled the bathtub with water, ready to take a good bath and enjoy it.

Be in the warm water temperature and watch the bubbles float on the surface of the water.Li Manrong was playing with bubbles, with an innocent smile on her face. "Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves. Taking a bath is really more comfortable." Li Manrong said to herself.

The whole body was slowly submerged in the water, and a feeling of suffocation came. Li Manrong held her breath for a few seconds, and then suddenly stretched out her head.The wet hair was dripping with water, Li Manrong raised her hand, pushed all the hair back, opened her eyes, and looked at the world surrounded by mist.

After staying in the bathtub long enough, Li Manrong got up and left.Looking around, I remembered that when I came in, I forgot to take my pajamas.Seeing a bath towel, Li Manrong casually took it off and wrapped it around her body.

Just as she was wrapping her head down seriously, the door of the bathroom was suddenly opened.Following the sound, Li Manrong instinctively raised her head.When she saw the man who suddenly appeared, Li Manrong's eyes were full of surprise.

The movements of her hands stopped for a moment, seeing that cold gaze, Li Manrong couldn't help shaking her hands, and the towel slipped from her hands.

It took a long time for Li Manrong to react.Take a quick small step forward, ready to bend down and pick up the towel.But he didn't want to slip his feet, and the whole person rushed forward in an instant.

Eyes widened in horror, Li Manrong felt that she was going to be sad.The expected pain did not come, Shangguan Yanting reached out and grabbed her.But because of inertia, Li Manrong threw herself directly into his arms.

Looking at her lovely and pitiful eyes, Shangguan Yanting suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.

Looking at the sudden situation in front of her in astonishment, Li Manrong couldn't react for a while.

Grabbing his palm, Li Manrong said in a daze: "Sir, don't you dislike women?"

Following these words, Shangguan Yanting's hands froze immediately.Looking at the confused girl in front of him, there was a trace of teasing on his lips: "Well, that might not be allowed."

Hearing this, Li Manrong's cheeks flushed instantly.And that little red face made people want to take a bite.In fact, he did.

Just when she thought that she was really going to be eaten up like this tonight, the phone rang abruptly.Li Manrong looked at him and said with a smile: "My phone..."

Shangguan Yanting didn't intend to get up at all, and was still lying on her body.But the phone kept ringing one after another, endlessly, without any intention of stopping.Seeing this, Shangguan Yanting frowned, and then stood up.

Just when his phone vibrated, Shangguan Yanting picked up the phone and walked out of the bedroom.Seeing this, Li Manrong immediately ran to the dressing room quickly, before she had time to wipe off the water stains on her body, she immediately put on her pajamas.

After tidying up, he grabbed the phone: "Lin Lang, thank you for your call."

On the phone, Mo Linlang was confused and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Thinking of the scene just now, Li Manrong's cheeks flushed red.But she didn't dare to tell Mo Linlang such words. "It's okay, I'm bored by myself. Lin Lang, why did you call me suddenly, what's the matter?" Li Manrong changed the topic and said.

It was only then that Mo Linlang remembered the purpose of the call, and quickly said, "That's right, didn't we say we were going to apply for a job..."

Mo Linlang was talking eloquently, while Li Manrong was listening quietly.Looking at the door inadvertently, seeing that he hadn't come back, Li Manrong was gradually relieved.Thinking of his last words, Li Manrong's ears felt hot.

On the other side, Shangguan Yanting took care of the phone call and didn't go back to the bedroom directly.Instead, he went to the guest room and rinsed himself with cold water.Thinking of the impulse in his heart just now, brows frowned instinctively.

Thinking of her being Ye Heng's daughter, Shangguan Yanting felt hatred in his heart.Even if she doesn't know anything about the past, she can't change anything.The reason why he married her was just to take advantage of her.

Coming out of the bathroom, Shangguan Yanting went back to the study, extinguishing the urge to possess her just now.Standing in front of the window, staring at the dark night scene outside the window, exuding a cold temperament all over her body.

Since his father's death, he has worked hard to make himself strong and take over all his father's businesses.For more than ten years, he never let up.Every time I think of my father's tragic death, I feel hatred.He told himself that Ye Heng's family would have to pay a heavy price!
Turning around, looking at the document on the desktop, Shangguan Yanting picked it up.It just records that Ye Tianqi appeared twice in China this year and once in Ludao City.According to previous investigations, Ye Tianqi treasured his sister very much.

Eyes narrowed slightly, Shangguan Yanting tightly held the information, with a bloodthirsty smile on his lips: "I don't believe it, I can't force you out." As long as there is a weakness, it can be used.

Taking out his mobile phone and pressing a series of numbers, Shangguan Yanting said indifferently: "I have something to do immediately. I want to see the effect before dawn."
