nThe next day, Lihua quickly dragged Jiang Lanying to her room and asked,

"So, what happened? Did you talk to Jiang Li?

"

nJiang Lanying lowered her head.

"Li was tired so…

"

nShe pursed her lips.

"All excuses! He is just running away from the conversation.

"

nLihua patted her shoulders and smiled.

"I am proud of you that you took this step towards this communication. It's really needed to solve your misunderstandings.

"

nJiang Lanying hesitated.

"I think I should stop here, Lixue. Li was uncomfortable and I realized that with his expression. I-I don't want to pester him.

"

nLihua smiled and gently held her hand.

"I won't force you, Jiang Lanying. If you want to end this here, then sure you can. But I just want to ask you, will you be really satisfied to live like this for the rest of your life? You love Jiang Li so much and I... definitely feel that he likes you too.

"

nLast night, Lihua thought about it a lot and concluded that she shouldn't tell her about how it was Jiang Li who had urged Wei to turn the marriage proposal in his favor.

nOf course, Jiang Lanying had to know this fact because then she would realize that Jiang Li didn't marry her out of any pressure but by his own will. She wouldn't feel that he was forcing himself to live with her.

nBut instead of Lihua or Wei telling her this, she felt that it would hold more emotions if Jiang Li confessed this to her himself. Jiang Lanying had to hear this from his mouth, not through someone else.

n

"But there is something that is stopping him from expressing himself. Don't you want to know his troubles and try to fix them?

"

nHearing that, Jiang Lanying went into deep thought. If there was something bothering him, then as his wife, she wished to share his troubles.

n

"When Old Madam was furious about the child, didn't Jiang Li stand up for you and face her and tell her not to bother you anymore?

"

nShe nodded.

n

"En. That means he cares about you. He doesn't hate you or thinks of you as a burden. Don't you wish to solve your misunderstandings and have a happy marriage with him? You definitely want that, right?

"

n

"...Yes.

"

nLihua grinned and pinched her cheek.

"That's why don't hesitate. You have to fight for your love and rights!

"

n

"But what should I do? Li doesn't want to talk about it. How will we know then?

"

n

"Hmm…

"

nLihua touched her chin. An idea hit her and she gleamed.

"It's time to spy!

"

n---

nJiang Corps.

nIn the CEO's office, Wei was working in his office with Fu Renshu when the door opened. As soon as Wei's sight on his wife who stepped, he immediately threw the files on the table and appeared before her akin to lightning.

n

"Lixue.

"

nLihua didn't even understand when she landed into Wei's warm embrace. He tightly hugged her, burying his face in the crook of her neck.

"You are here.

"

nFu Renshu -

"...

"

nBoss doesn't even read any reports that quickly compared to how he just rushed towards her.

nLihua giggled and patted his back.

"It's only been three hours.

"

nWei kissed her forehead and said,

"Without you, even three hours feels like three days.

"

nAn imaginary arrow struck her heart. She kissed him back on his cheek and smiled.

"Don't say such cute words or I won't be able to leave from here.

"

nWei seriously said,

"I don't want you to. I was thinking if I could take you with me to the office every day. Then I won't miss you.

"

nLihua beamed.

"It's a nice idea! I will get to see your Godly handsome face every second of the day and admire it.

"

nFu Renshu sobbed.

nNo, Boss. You cannot do that! If she comes here every day, you will never work! You will spend the whole day cuddling her!

nA slight cough came from the back. Jiang Lanying awkwardly stood behind her seeing Wei's public display of affection.

nFu Renshu was surprised to see her.

nMrs. Jiang Lanying?

nJiang Lanying smiled and politely greeted.

"Hello, Wei. S-sorry for disturbing your work.

"

nWei just slightly hummed.

nLihua said,

"Wei. We came here for an important mission!

"

nWei curiously asked,

"What is it?

"

n

"We want Jiang Li's itinerary for the day.

"

nFu Renshu blinked his eyes.

"Mr. Jiang Li's schedule? For what?

"

n

"To spy on him!

"

n

"...

"

nShe pulled Jiang Lanying forward and said,

"If we know where Jiang Li goes and what he does, we might be able to figure out what is bothering him that is keeping him distant from Jiang Lanying. Your cousin doesn't leave any choice with us. He is too stubborn to reveal anything.

"

nFu Renshu's mouth twitched.

"You want to spy on your own cousin-in-law?

"

nLihua stood tall.

"In the name of love!

"

n

"...

"

nWei nodded.

"Renshu will give all his schedule.

"

nBoss!

nShe grinned and pecked his cheek again.

"Hehe, I knew that Wei will help me.

"

nWei felt dissatisfied, so he shamelessly pulled her and crashed his lips on hers into a passionate kiss. Jiang Lanying coughed hard and quickly looked away with a bright red face.

nFu Renshu was already used to this. It always happened whenever Lihua was within his perimeter.

nLihua was stunned and she felt her brain cells rapidly deplete into nothingness.

nAh, ah, hubby! There are people here!

nWei pulled back when he was finally satisfied with eating his wife's lips. A peaceful smile laced his lips as if he just got his oasis in the desert.

nLihua covered her face and had no courage to face Fu Renshu and Jiang Lanying.

n

"Wei you…

"

n

"What?

" He tilted his head.

n

"S-send me his schedule once we get it. Time to leave. Bye!

"

nShe quickly pulled Jiang Lanying away and ran with full speed.

n

"Lixue!

" Wei's shoulders drooped in sadness seeing her go.

nFu Renshu could only shake his head.

n---

nOutside, Lihua and Jiang Lanying ran as if somebody was after their life. She finally stopped only when she bumped into someone.

n

"I am sorry-

"

nShe gulped seeing Jiang Li standing in of her, looking at her and Jiang Lanying in shock.

n

"Lanying. What are you doing here?

"
