“What?!”

What is this?!

“Hubby…”

“Yes?”

“Hubby…”

“Yes?”

“Hubby…”

Her voice became more pleading and petulant at each turn, until his lips hooked into a smile. “Yes?”

“I, er…”

“What is it?”

“I…”

“You don’t want to go?”

“It’s not that… I… erm, school is about to start soon, and also, my grandma’s birthday feast is coming up soon. I have to help out at home…” She was glad that she need not face him directly or she would definitely be exposed through and through.

“You found a good excuse.” He could not help praising her.

“…”

Was he exposing her?

Just when she felt cornered and was desperately trying to find some justification for herself, the man commented, “Be a good girl and do what you need to do at home.”

Her eyes lit up. Will this do, too? Quickly, she nodded in acquiescence. “I’ll definitely be a good girl!”

“Alright.” The man hung up the call after that.

PA Wang was dumbstruck by what he had just heard.

Was CEO trying to humor his wife just now?

I didn’t know the President could be this patient!

The girl collapsed on the couch with relief after putting down the phone. “What a scare!”

“Hey, I can see that Bao the Lord dotes on you! He gave in to you despite knowing that you were lying!” Her friend had nothing but praise for him. It looked like he had won her over.

She got up from the sofa. “I have to say that he really is good to me.”

Her friend reacted instinctively. “Then you have to hold tight to him!”

“Ha… ha…” The girl could only laugh dumbly in response.

This was when Li Meng recalled the unfortunate situation her bestie had been ensnared currently. With a tinge of sorrow, she changed the topic inadvertently. “I’m feeling hungry now. What about you? What do you want to eat?”

“I want to enjoy good food today. Only food can comfort my hurting heart.” She was the kind whose appetite remained good regardless of the circumstances she was in. In fact, food was the motivator for her.

“What do you want to eat? It’s my treat today!”

“Let’s have stewed goose! I was thinking of checking out the stewed goose in that famous store!”

“Can you still go out looking like this?” Her friend glanced at her swollen face.

“Call to reserve a table first while I apply a cold compress. We can go over once the swelling subsides.”

“That’s a good idea.”

At the restaurant, Mu Huan received a call from the lead host while eating.

Once dinner was over, they headed straight to the meeting place to see him.

He was concerned at once when he saw her. “Your face…”

The girl replied with indifference, “It’s nothing much. This is minor.”

“A friend told me that my boss is looking for me now so I want to leave this place tonight.” Although the clubhouse owner suffered a few strikes this time, he remained powerful. Thus, he wanted to leave before it was too late.

“I’ve arranged for someone to prepare your passports. The money is ready too, although it isn’t much…”

“I know you did your best. Besides, you’ve helped me so much so I shouldn’t take your money in the first place. But I really need some quick cash now, so just pretend that I’m borrowing the money from you for now. I’ll return it to you one day!” With her help, he and his sister managed to escape safe and unscathed. To be honest, he felt bad about taking her money, but he promised himself he would return double the sum to her one day!

“You can repay me when you make it rich one day. But don’t push yourself too hard, it’s not easy making a living overseas. It’s more important to take care of your sis and yourself!”

He looked at her, full of gratitude. The girl standing before him was also having it tough, but that did not stop her from being kind to them.
