Chapter 5: Into the Tiger's Den Again
No.
A farce ended with the old man's angry reprimand.
Li Man curled up on his knees and hugged himself at the head of the bed, resisting the chill that came out of his heart.
Since Fu Yaojue can be regarded as a last resort, she naturally has a thorough understanding of the temperament and temperament of all of them, how could she not know that she has been looking for her mother's whereabouts.
But he never mentioned it, and he was completely ignorant.
He married her, maybe because he thought she slept well, maybe he chose a random tool man when he cleaned up his stepmother and younger brother, maybe he had both, but definitely not because he liked her.
He is so good at figuring out people's hearts, has he already seen through the careful thinking that she pretended to be coquettish before.
Li Manman's toes curled up into the bed, and he buried himself in his lap in embarrassment, revealing only a pair of red and shiny eartips.
Fu Yaojue's footsteps approached, Li Man moved, did not look up, and was picked up by Fu Yaojue and put on himself in the next second.
Li Manman met his smiling eyes and plunged into his arms, out of sight.
Fu Yaojue's hand touched her back and stroked gently, as if to comfort her, and like a cat's subconscious action.
Li Manman thinks that it is the latter, and all the warmth of this person has a purpose.
She didn't speak, Fu Yaojue didn't speak, and even hugged her and leaned on the head of the bed, while stroking her, while picking up a book on the bedside table and flipping through it.
The man's body temperature was high, and after a while in his arms, Li Manman saw the sweat, and couldn't help but want to get off him, but as long as she showed a little intention of leaving, the relaxed arm around her waist would immediately clasp her back into her arms.
Another casual warning from a man: "Don't move." ”
Li Manman gritted her teeth, since her careful thinking was seen through, she didn't bother to calculate, and said bluntly: "Fu Yaojue, can you do me a favor?" ”
Fu Yaojue chuckled, as if she had been waiting for her words for a long time, "Tell me about it." ”
Li Manman felt like a poor mouse being played by a bad cat holding down his tail, and said weakly: "I want to find my mother's whereabouts, can you help me?" ”
Fu Yaojue turned a page of the book, and her tone was flat, "The price? ”
Li Manman held his chest and wanted to stand up straight and watch him speak, but as soon as he exerted his strength, the person was forcefully pressed back.
"That's it."
"I want to look at you."
"Then don't talk about it."
"......" Li Manman gritted his teeth, broke the jar and let himself lean on his arms completely relaxed, and then said, "I don't have any money now, can I pay you when I earn money?" ”
Speaking like this, he is neither gentle nor sincere, nor can he express sincerity and determination, and whether he is up or down makes Li Manman very uncomfortable.
"For another one, I'm not a laborer."
"But you're my husband!" Li Manman was cheeky and said with a smoky red cheek, "You are my husband, isn't it natural for you to help me?" ”
Fu Yaojue was amused, she took the opportunity to raise her head and look at him.
"Fu Yaojue, as long as you help me find my mother, I promise to do three things for you without violating the law and the bottom line of morality." She put on a serious little face, letting the people in front of her understand her determination.
But Fu Yujue looked at her and laughed, and even pinched her tender and flushed cheeks.
Li Manman felt that he didn't intend to help her from beginning to end, and had been playing with her, so he immediately turned red with anger, pushed him away hard, and withdrew from his arms.
"What are you anxious about, did I say I won't help you?"
Li Manman looked at him suspiciously.
Fu Yaojue nodded her empty chest and motioned for her to come back.
Li Manman hesitated for a moment, decided to believe him again, and went back on his stomach.
Fu Yaojue hugged her and continued to read, "You don't have to worry about your mother's affairs, I've already asked people to find them, you are obediently my little wife, and your mother will naturally be fine." ”
Li Manman was keenly aware of the incorrectness in his words, "You're going to let me see my mother, right?" ”
"If you're obedient." Fu Xuanjue's gaze at her was cold and indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
Li Manman's heart was cold, what is the difference between this and going out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth?
