But how to operate it?
When Qi Tianchen pushed open the door and entered, he saw her sitting there motionlessly, her fingers constantly drawing circles on the table.
His complexion did not look too good. He purposely used a lot of strength to close the door, but Bai Mei did not react at all.
Qi Tianchen was a little infuriated. The couple had been together for many years and he knew that this was the expression she would have whenever she tried to be naughty.
He asked angrily, "Bai Mei, what are you doing now?"
Bai Mei was shocked by the sound. She stood up and made a big noise.
She tried to force a smile. "You think too much..." I... "I don't think about anything …"
Qi Tianchen sneered and said coldly, "Bai Mei, I know how you feel after sharing a bed with me for so many years! Did you just eavesdrop at the door of the study? "
"I... "No …"
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it. I don't want to ask you what you heard, but I'm warning you! "It's an eventful time now, so you'd better stay at home and not go anywhere. If I find out what kind of crazy things you did behind my family's back, I definitely won't let you get away with it!"
Qi Tianchen looked at her with a gaze filled with disgust. He simply hugged his pillow and walked outside.
Bai Mei saw the situation and quickly stood in front of him, "Tian Chen, where are you going?"
He disdainfully pushed her away and said, "I don't want to see an ugly woman like you who has the guts to even kill my nephew's wife. Who knows, if I make you unhappy, you might even stab me a few times in the middle of the night!"
"Tian Chen, we're husband and wife. How can you say such things?"
Bai Mei's lips quivered and her whole body trembled when she heard his straightforward words.
"Go away. If you dare to do any more bad things, we husband and wife will have reached the end …"
Qi Tianchen tried to shove her again, but seeing that her body had crashed into the wall, he gave her a cold glance before leaving with his pillow.
When Bai Mei saw her husband sitting so coldly on the ground, she felt even more pained in her heart.
Mu Lele. This was all because of Mu Lele!
This woman was a scourge. Not only had she bewitched her daughter, but her husband was still so cold and detached. Why hadn't she died?
'Kill her! I must kill her! '
This thought took root in her mind like wild grass, raising the value of her hatred once again.
"..."
Mu Lele hadn't seen Li Xiao for a few days. She wasn't sure if it was just an illusion or not, but she felt that Li Xiao had purposely left time behind for her during these past few days.
Every day, he would leave before she had even woken up. At night, she would sleep in a daze when she heard the door open.
When she got up that morning, Mu Lele wanted to bask in the sunlight on the balcony. When she saw the cigarette butts on the floor, she was slightly stunned.
The air was still filled with the smell of tobacco smoke. Thinking of the man's sigh she had heard in her sleep last night, her heart gradually became heavy.
So this wasn't her misconception, Li Xiao really did avoid her on purpose.
Mu Lele touched her stomach for six months. She didn't leave as she sat on the hanging chair on the balcony.
He looked into the distance at the towering buildings and the patrol that was smaller than ants. He suddenly felt tired.
No matter what the reason was, Li Xiao intentionally avoided him and smoked here in the middle of the night. This was the disrespect between them due to their relationship.
In the long run, their marriage would be a red light.
However, she could probably guess the reason for his actions.
Now that Smith was in China, O'Brien and Luther didn't have the time to care about her under David's leadership, so it was a good opportunity for the Chinese military to capture Smith.
Of course, he would have to rely on this free bait to store the net!
Li Xiao must have sensed something in this. If he followed the command of the Chinese military, he would be letting down his own country, and if he chose to do so, he would be letting down his country.
No matter which one he chose, he wouldn't be able to easily get past the hurdle in his heart.
Mu Lele felt that she should properly communicate with Li Xiao. After all, escaping was also not an option.
At night, when the clock hands pointed to twelve o'clock, there was still no sign of Li Xiao returning home.
There was only an orange night-light left in the living room. Mu Lele was leaning against the sofa, suppressing both physical and mental exhaustion as she waited for him to return.
At half past twelve, just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard the sound of a lock being unlocked in the doorway. She sat up straight.
Li Xiao deliberately lowered the volume of his footsteps and the sound of the door closing before he lowered his head and walked inside. For a moment, he didn't notice Mu Lele, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Ah Xiao …"
Hearing the familiar voice calling his name, Li Xiao's body instantly stiffened. When he turned around, he saw his wife looking at him with a torch-like gaze. He forced out a smile and asked, "Yue Le, why aren't you sleeping at this time of the night?"
"Then why did you come home so late?"
"I …" Li Xiao was momentarily at a loss for words. He quickly responded, "I'm sorry, Le Le Le. I have to train a batch of new recruits for the next few days, so I'm rather busy. Next time, you go to sleep first. Don't wait for me."
Mu Lele did not say anything after she finished listening. Instead, she stood up and walked in front of him, using her nose to smell the scent on his body.
"The smell of smoke on your body is especially strong. You must have smoked more than one box of cigarettes. Ah Xiao, you're busy with work and you still have time to smoke?"
"Music..." "I …"
Mu Lele took his hand and placed it on her stomach. At that moment, the baby in her stomach seemed to have sensed something and suddenly moved.
Feeling the obvious movement of the fetus, Li Xiao looked up at her in surprise and surprise. "Le Le, the baby is moving!"
Mu Lele softened. "En …" "The baby is greeting you. She's worried about you even though it's so late …"
"Music..." "I …"
He once again lowered his head in disappointment. "I'm sorry …"
She hugged him for a while and softly said, "Xiao Xiao, can you not say that you are sorry? These three words hurt our feelings the most, can we talk about it? "
"You purposely avoid my good baby every day. We're all very sad."
Li Xiao once again fell silent. When Mu Lele saw that he didn't say anything, she took out a bottle of red wine from the wine shelf and passed him a cup. Then, she swirled the cup in her hand.
"Xiao, escaping cannot solve the problem. I hope that you can discuss it with me. After all, we are family, right?"
Under the dim light, Li Xiao drank the wine that she passed to him in one gulp. After pouring a cup for himself and drinking it again, he slowly opened his mouth.
"Le Le, the final plan to annihilate Smith has been completed. They need... Your help... "
So it was like that!2
"Chief Li Hua told me to set a time for you to undergo secret training as soon as possible … "Tell me, how could I bear to do that?"
As Mu Lele looked at his dejected expression, a faint feeling of heartache arose in her heart.
He continued, "Even a child in China knows it's dangerous to send a pregnant woman to deal with a grown man, and Smith is a dangerous criminal."
"What will you do with the baby if he's desperate?"
"Le Le, your mother is right. Even if we wanted to avoid talking about it, there will be a day when we will face a choice. And I really can't make up my mind to make a choice …"
I'm not a good husband and father. I can't provide you and your baby with a stable life. Furthermore, I am not a qualified subordinate, because I cannot complete the orders given by my superiors! "
"These few days, not only have I been avoiding you, I've also been avoiding Chief Li Hua. I can't give you guys any responsibility, do you think I've really failed?"
Mu Lele quickly hugged him and comforted him. "Xiao, don't say that …"
She knew that no matter what he chose, his heart would be filled with pain, but … This is not an unsolvable problem.
He lightly patted Li Xiao's back and finally made a decision. "Xiao, we must keep our promises!"
Li Xiao's body stiffened. He knew what his wife meant by this.
Previously, they signed a contract with Li Hua for the sake of Mu Ru and now, it was time for them to fulfill their promise.
She had made the decision for herself.
"But …" "Le Le …"
Mu Lele interrupted him, "But there's no 'but'. You can't go back on your word, can you?"
"I know you're worried about me and the kids, but I don't look too threatening with my belly. Wouldn't Smith be able to lower his guard?"
"As long as I'm careful and have your cooperation, I believe that nothing will happen to me."
She went on to advise him, "Besides, David is in China now. Can he watch Smith hurt my life? "So, Xiao, there's no need to be conflicted. We need to set a good example for our baby."
"It's a good habit for her to keep her word when she's in her mother's womb …"
Mu Lele's words made Li Xiao's heart ache. They all knew that these words were meant to comfort each other. How could the dangers of a pregnant woman facing a madman be clearly explained in a few words?
"Xiao, after this matter is over, let's return back to A City! "I don't like the oppressed life in B City. I especially miss the days when we gambled together, and I especially miss the pleasure you gave me when you helped me gobble down those impure people."
"You can continue to be the president of ARES while I will be the successor of the Mu Group. We will create a huge business empire and provide our children with a carefree life, alright?"
When Li Xiao saw the smile on her lips, he forced out a smile. I will submit my transfer report to my superiors when it is over. "
The next day, Li Xiao looked a little haggard. Mu Lele was also a little dispirited, but they still appeared in Li Hua's office.
Li Hua stood up and asked with a serious expression, "Xiao Xiao, Le Le, you know what it means to stand by my side, so have you two decided?"
