Heaven-sent Wife: Good Morning, Mr. Mayor

Lin Ziqian still had a doting expression on his face, as if Wu Man was the one who was being unreasonable.

“We’ve been married for so many years, what’s there to be shy about?” Lin Ziqian said as he moved closer to Wu Man, who was sitting by the bed. He opened his arms and was about to wrap them around the slender waist of the person in front of him. Usually, at this time, as long as he said something nice to liven up the atmosphere, then she would do something that she shouldn’t do; the first step of developing a relationship was completed.

Wu Man didn’t seem to notice Lin Ziqian’s hand reaching out. Just as he was about to hug Wu Man, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Lin Ziqian stopped awkwardly in mid-air. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to hug or answer the phone. However, Wu Man just turned her head and stared at him expressionlessly.

“I’m going to take a call.” Lin Ziqian felt a little guilty from her stare. He smiled awkwardly and took out his phone from his pocket. He quickly got up and ran to the toilet to answer the call. He didn’t see who the caller was when he answered the call. When the voice on the other end of the line questioned him, he realized that it was his mother who called him.

“Why didn’t you come home?” Mother Lin who was on the other end of the phone was very angry. What a joke. Wu Man, who was supposed to cook at home, had run away. Logically, they should have gone out to eat, but Lin Ziqian, who was the “wallet”, didn’t come back either. What was going on? “Where are you now?”

Lin Ziqian tightened his grip on the phone. He hesitated and said in a low voice, “I’m at the Wu residence.”

Hearing this, Mother Lin almost fainted. She let out a scream as if she had heard something terrible. “Get back here! How can you go to such a place! You’re driving me crazy!”

“Mom, I’ll stay at home for one night. I’ll go back tomorrow morning.” Lin Ziqian’s voice was a little dry. He couldn’t explain his intentions to his mother. He could only hope that the person on the phone could understand.

“You’re not allowed! Not to mention staying for the night, not even for a minute! Call a cab right now and come back!” Mother Lin couldn’t contain her anger. She sat on the sofa at home, slapping the coffee table and shouting loudly, causing the things on the table to clatter. “Look at what you look like now! What would others think if they saw you? They will come to me and say that you look like someone who married into the Wu Family! You’re shameless, and I’m shameless! Get your a*s back here!”

Hearing the ugly words “married into”, Lin Ziqian also frowned. To a man, it could be said that he was incompetent. “Okay, Mom, I got it.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ziqian frowned. The process of developing a relationship had to be put aside for now. It was more important to go home. He didn’t want to become a son-in-law who married into the family like what Mother Lin said.

When he returned to his room, Wu Man had already packed up and was ready to sleep. It was just past midnight, and Wu Man, who had already been pestered by Lin Ziqian, unexpectedly heard the latter say goodbye. “I’m sorry, Wu Man. I can’t accompany you tonight. The boss of the company asked me to change a plan. I have to go back and work overtime tonight.”

This was the excuse that Lin Ziqian had found. Wu Man, who was lying on the bed, was thinking in her heart that he was going to meet the unruly Wang Jiaojiao. Wu Man perfunctorily said two sentences, and Lin Ziqian, who got the answer, breathed a sigh of relief and simply packed his things.
