Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In less than half an hour, he found out that she had swiped her ID card at a hotel three days ago, and there was no record of her checking out. After confirming Wu Man’s only place of residence for the past few days, Li Dongsheng immediately drove to the hotel. To his relief, Wu Man only had a single room. The moment he saw Wu Man, Li Dongsheng was completely relieved. “Do you plan to continue staying here?” Li Dongsheng asked as he stared at her busy back. She had been sleeping for the past few days and had not had time to boil the water in the pot. After plugging in the power, Wu Man’s hand that was holding the cup paused. “I don’t know. Maybe.” Li Dongsheng did not say much. Wu Man could confirm without thinking that he already knew that she had lost her job. “It’s not a good idea to stay here forever. Do you want to leave the hotel?” Li Dongsheng patiently enticed her. “I have an empty house in the city for you to live in.” Wu Man fell into deep thought. Li Dongsheng was right. Since she had lost her job, she had to pay back the money she had borrowed. Staying here was not a long-term solution. Wu Man, who was short on money, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you.” Li Dongsheng heaved a sigh of relief and drove Wu Man to a suite under his name. Everything was all prepared. She did not even need to carry his bag. She just needed to come. Wu Man sized up the suite. It was a duplex with a single house. It was hard to imagine that there would be such a quiet place in the city center with a small courtyard. If she lived here with someone she liked and raised a few pets, it would be very romantic. It could be said to be the ideal life.
Wu Man randomly chose a room to live in. It was a ten-minute walk from the supermarket. It was not cost-effective to order takeout, so she bought food and cooked. What surprised her was that the house did not seem as empty as Li Dongsheng had said. Every night, when Li Dongsheng came back on time, Wu Man had to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks. Occasionally, when Li Dongsheng came back from socializing, Wu Man washed his clothes that reeked of alcohol. It was thanks to Li Dongsheng that she had a place to go, so she tried her best to repay him. However, after a few days, the two of them seemed to be getting along just like an old married couple. When Li Dongsheng came back from work, he would ask her about her well-being and compliment her on her cooking. He could not hide the happiness in his eyes when he saw his clean coat. Lin Ziqian had never done any of these before. Before meeting Li Dongsheng, Wu Man had never experienced such a warm way of getting along with him. A few days later, Wu Man sighed heavily as she looked at her bank account balance that was about to run into deficit.
She had always been very clear-headed. Although the things in front of her were beautiful, the reality that she had to face after separating from them was still cruel. Li Dongsheng could not let her live like this forever, and she could not continue to have an ambiguous relationship with Li Dongsheng. When Li Dongsheng came back in the evening, he saw Wu Man sitting at the table and smiling at him. It was as if the warm spring water in March had melted his heart. The tiredness that had accumulated over the past few days was instantly swept away. During dinner, Wu Man explained her thoughts. “Well, I’ve thought about it for the past few days, and I don’t think it’s a good idea to continue like this.” She had thought it through. She couldn’t keep running away like this. Without a job or money, it would be difficult for her to move forward. Li Dongsheng couldn’t protect her for the rest of her life. She still had to rely on herself for the rest of her life. “I want to go to work, so I will go out and look for a job in the next few days.” After hearing this, Li Dongsheng’s eyebrows relaxed..
