Li Tian’s words would usually cause two possible reactions. Either the woman would agree and say, “Mr. Handsome, get in the car” and the two of them would go off and do what they were supposed to do. However, if the woman was disgusted by what he had said, then she would just slap him and drive off.

However, Tang Wan reacted differently to the aforementioned possibilities.

She just laughed.

“Haha, kiddo, I’m not that easy. How about you tell me about your identity first, then let me think about it before giving you my answer?”

“My identity? What identity? I just had a fight with my wife, and I just wanted to look for a place to vent my frustration, what identity do I have?”

Li Tian said, puzzled. Was this a common procedure to get girls in the country? He had never heard of it.

She stretched her long and slim fingers, then twirled them around Li Tian’s shirt while gently stroking his body.

Li Tian was aroused by her actions. However, just when he thought things could finally escalate between them, Tang Wan abruptly spoke, “Missi handmade shirt, not to mention that it’s this year’s limited edition. This is easily worth 280,000 euros… You expect me to believe that you’re just asking me out of pure intentions? I don’t feel your sincerity in the slightest. I have things to attend to today, so goodbye.”

“Uh…”

Li Tian gazed bizarrely as Tang Wan drove away. He then took a look at his clothes again. Girl, do I really have such a high profile? No one recognized this shirt when I was overseas, but I was exposed by two people today.

“Pfft, so what if she recognized it. She even missed my South African diamond buttons!”

Li Tian exclaimed, as he continued to squat by the river with a cigarette in his hand.

It was too late to cry over spilt milk. He said that he wasn’t going to go back, unless Lin Yi came to beg him.

He was waiting for Lin Yi to come get him. At this point, he wasn’t even expecting her to beg him, just a simple apology would suffice.

However, since things didn’t go according to his plans, Li Tian suddenly thought of another person. He smirked and proceeded to make a phone call.

…

“Hello, father-in-law. Yes, it’s me, Xiao Tian.”

“Oh, everything’s fine. It’s just that one of Xiao Yi’s friends came over today. I think his name was Jia Jun.”

“Chen Jia Jun? Yes, that’s him. He was rude to me, and we ended up arguing. But, Xiao Yi seems to be close with him as she sided with him.”

“Father-in-law, I’m not complaining. I know that Xiao Yi isn’t satisfied with this marriage, so…do you want me to go to Li family to talk about this? Since we haven’t done anything, maybe we should just end this on good terms…”

“I know what you mean, sir. However, this is up to her and I. We can’t make ourselves suffer because of the wishes of the elderly. I haven’t even eaten a single meal today, and I’m still outside in the cold.”

“No, no. It wasn’t her fault. It was mine.”

“Okay, please don’t get mad at her.”

“No need, you don’t have to tell her to apologize to me, or to even come get me. I’ll just stay here by the bridge for a while…”

The phone call finally ended and Li Tian revealed a smug expression on his face.

He suddenly realised that his wife wasn’t that bad, as hooking up with other people had its challenges and risks.

He only needed to give Lin Yi’s father a call, and everything would be settled.

…

At this moment, Lin Yi was still in a daze in her room.

After Li Tian left, she didn’t even eat dinner. It was probably the sincerity in Li Tian’s words that touched her. She was feeling really unsettled after that incident.

Two hours had passed. Wang Ma even brought the food to her room, but she didn’t have any appetite at all.

Then, her phone rang.

If it was other people, she would have declined the call. However, the screen flashed “Lin Zheng”.

She had saved her dad’s contact as his name, not as “dad”.

“What?”

Lin Yi asked coldly, after picking up the call.

“What do you think you’re doing? You’re already married to Li Tian, why are you still hanging out with Chen Jia Jun? So what if the Chen family is a little powerful? Can they compare to Li family? Lin Yi, do you have something against me? Do you really want to witness my death to be satisfied?”

A man’s voice came from the phone, scolding Lin Yi fiercely.

“Jia Jun and I are just…”

“Just what? Don’t keep in touch with Chen Jia Jun anymore, do you understand? You’re already a part of Li family, so just stay put. Also, just hand over your company to Li Tian, you can just sit around at home!”

“Why? I’ve worked so hard for this company. Why do I have to hand it over to him?”

Upon hearing her father’s words, Lin Yi felt a gush of anger. Just because they were married? Just because his family was the prestigious Li family? Why did her years of hard work have to be given to him?

In her heart, she even thought that he wasn’t fit for it.

“Why? Just because you are Li family’s daughter-in-law! A small company worth only ten million dollars, and a working capital of less than a million dollars, aren’t you embarrassed!?”

“So what if it’s less than a million dollars? I’ve worked hard for each and every dollar. I know your Lin Group is big, but didn’t you get everything from grandpa?”

Lin Yi didn’t pull her punches.

“You… You really want me to die from anger, huh? I don’t care what you say, just apologize to Li Tian right now! Get him to come back! I’m in the midst of discussing a big business plan with the Li family. If there are issues between you and Li Tian, not only will our plans fall through, but the Lin Group will also suffer damages.”

Lin Yi’s father realised that his scolding wasn’t useful, so he changed his strategy.

However, Lin Yi was still stubborn.

“It’s even better if they find out about our issues, because I had never agreed to this marriage!”

“You… Lin Yi, I’m begging you, okay? As your father, I’m begging you to do this. Just sacrifice yourself a little, help me out please.”

“I can’t help you.”

“What do you want from me? Do you want me to kneel in front of you?”

“No need, I don’t want it!”

“Xiao Yi, just help your father this once.”

A woman’s voice abruptly resounded from the phone. After Lin Yi heard her voice, tears began to roll down her cheeks.

“Mum… I…”

“My poor daughter, I know this has made you upset, and as a mother, there’s nothing I can do to help you, I’m useless…”

“Mum, don’t say that. It’s not your fault, it’s mine… I was too reckless. I promise that I’ll get him to come back. If he doesn’t want to, I’ll beg him…”

Lin Yi began to tear up as she uttered those words.

She had a soft spot for her mother.

Because she was a girl, and because her mother didn’t have any children after giving birth to her, the Lin family had arranged for Lin Zheng to have another wife.

Although the laws didn’t allow for this, the Lin family had money, and they would do anything to have a boy.

When Lin Zheng was blessed with a son, Lin Yi’s status in the family went downhill, along with her mother’s. If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have to marry Li Tian as she would have had the power to reject the marriage.

Since young, Lin Yi’s personality had always been bold and unreasonable because of the environment she grew up in. It was after she had grown up that she began to feel guilty and started to suppress her feelings.

However, she couldn’t control herself today.

After hanging up on the call, Lin Yi looked out the window and she could faintly see a man’s silhouette by the bridge.

“Li Tian, I really underestimated you. I can’t believe you’re such a petty person. You’re even more shameless than I thought!”
