Chapter 16 An Ulterior Motive

After hanging up the call, Li Mu continued driving. And Lin Wan asked him with some displeasure, "It's Fang Qiang, right?"

"Yes."

"Did you tell him about it as well?"

Li Mu glanced at the rearview mirror and replied with an expressionless face, "Yes!"

"You!" Lin Wan sat up straight, "Why are you telling them everything? Is it necessary to let them know about the misunderstanding between the two of us?"

"They're my best friends, ok? When I don't know what to do, who else can I count on except for them?"

"Why don't you come to me and ask me for clarification?"

"Come to you? Are you at home then? Will you tell me the truth?"

Lin Wan got silent for a moment, and spoke in an injured voice, "I did lie to you. It's my fault. Honey, I'm sorry. But I did that for a reason."

"Okay. Tell me the reason when we arrive home instead of continuing to deceive me. Xiaoyu is right. You can't lie to me and you have to tell me the truth."

"I will definitely tell you the truth, honey. So, don't be angry with me, okay?"

Li Mu did not respond. And the car sank into silence again.

After a while, Lin Wan whispered, "Honey, I think, you should have fewer contacts with He Xiaoyu in the future. She has an ulterior motive!"

Li Mu suddenly gave birth to a sense of annoyance and wished to tell Lin Wan loudly, "If He Xiaoyu had an ulterior motive, it was you who offered her the opportunity. Why hasn't she gone too far before?"

But once these words were said out, they were too hurtful for her. So, he chose to keep silent.

Lin Wan did not get a reply from her husband and began to get a little anxious. Today, He Xiaoyu made her feel a strong threat.

Following her intuition, she knew that He Xiaoyu would never give up her husband. Since He Xiaoyu chose not to hide her feelings for Li Mu, then she would make every effort to win him. Now there was no possibility of being friends anymore between them.

He Xiaoyu was Li Mu's friend of the opposite sex. Before this, Lin Wan and she were getting quite well because she always minded the boundaries and never crossed the line.

And today, she completely crossed the line and even started to be aggressive.

Lin Wan was chagrined and blamed herself for being unthoughtful, bringing their marital relationship into a dangerous situation.

She could tell from her husband's expression that he didn't trust her. Once he couldn't be offered a good reason to let this whole thing go, their marriage was destined to sink into a desperate situation.

She felt fear and pressure, and of course, the biggest threat she was currently facing was from He Xiaoyu.

Now she was sure of He Xiaoyu's feelings for Li Mu. They were far from ordinary friendship.

Lin Wan had thought about He Xiaoyu's threat before. But she trusted Li Mu and his character. And she knew that her husband loved her single-mindedly, and had always harbored a strong faith in their love.

She believed that no matter how beautiful He Xiaoyu looked, her husband wouldn't cross the line.

For Li Mu, he couldn't tolerate marriage betrayal. It was precisely for this reason that he could not do anything wrong to her.

But for now, the situation was quite different.

Due to her own negligence, now her husband doubted seriously her loyalty which gave He Xiaoyu the opportunity to win her husband's love.

Such an outcome forced her to re-examine the relationship between her husband and He Xiaoyu.

Simply put, she could turn a blind eye ago. But now she absolutely couldn't. She had to eliminate her husband's doubts and get rid of He Xiaoyu's threat.

While she was thinking about how to eliminate this hidden problem, He Xiaoyu was back home thinking seriously about how to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
