Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Won’t Get Up Unless You Call Me Hubby

Jin Lilai was furious upon hearing this: “You want my wife to divorce me!?”

He had an expression like he was ready to eat someone alive.

The salesperson stepped back in fear: “A fake divorce! You guys would just be temporarily divorcing, and once she buys the house, you can remarry.”

Jin Lilai said: “What if she buys the house and then doesn’t want to marry me again!”

The salesperson laughed awkwardly: “That’s the time to test your marital love and trust, which, we really can’t comment on.”

Li Wanru looked at Jin Lilai somewhat conflicted.

Jin Lilai frowned: “You’re not actually considering really divorcing me, are you?”

Li Wanru said: “It’s just a fake divorce, what’s there to be afraid of.”

She then turned to Huo Tingdong, asking with concern: “Brother-in-law, if I follow the process she mentioned and I qualify to buy a house, will you really buy it for me?”

Huo Tingdong said: “If you qualify to buy a house, that’s a different matter.”

He never cared about these millions or tens of millions to begin with.

With his wealth, he really had no concept of money anymore.

Jin Lilai grabbed Li Wanru’s arm fiercely: “For the sake of a house, you want to divorce me, have you lost your mind!”

Lin Qi retorted sarcastically: “Men like you who can’t earn money and favor sons over daughters! I really don’t know what my sister saw in you. Divorcing you is her wise choice. Remarrying you, that would be foolish!”

Jin Lilai grew even more annoyed and shouted furiously: “What do you mean!? You are encouraging her to divorce me, is that how you should act as a sister? Haven’t you been educated? Don’t you know the saying ‘better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one marriage?'”

Lin Qi sneered coldly: “It’s precisely because I’m educated that I don’t agree with that! Men like you, the sooner she divorces you, the better! Forget about buying a house, she should leave you even without that reason! Why should she stay with you? For your poverty? For your coercion to have children? For your abuse and insults towards your wife?”

Jin Lilai: “You—-!”

Huo Tingdong impatiently said: “Stop arguing.”

He was annoyed and stood up, taking Lin Qi’s hand: “Let’s go.”

He didn’t want to listen to Jin Lilai’s endless rants.

If it weren’t for the relationship between Lin Qi and Li Wanru, he would never give someone like Jin Lilai the time of day.

Li Wanru saw Huo Tingdong about to leave and panicked: “Didn’t you promise to buy me a house? Why are you just leaving?”

Huo Tingdong said: “Wait until you’re qualified to buy the house!”

With that, he walked off with Lin Qi.

On the way back, Lin Qi was still fuming.

She didn’t have much affection for Li Wanru. Although Li Wanru always used “you owe me so much” as moral leverage, Lin Qi had indeed felt somewhat guilty before. But after today’s incident with Jin Lilai rushing to the hospital to take Lili away, she completely lost any pity for Li Wanru!

Even so, Li Wanru was a pitiful person, but pitiful people always have their hateful side.

She just feels pity for the misfortune and anger for the lack of fight.

Lin Qi said: “I don’t want to have anything to do with their family in the future.”

She looked at Huo Tingdong: “I want to cut off all ties with their family!”

Huo Tingdong said: “There are ways to deal with such people. You just need to not go soft when it’s time.”

Lin Qi said: “I was soft-hearted before, after all, she’s my real sister from the same parents. But now, after so many things, my feelings for her have also become complex.”

A spectator can see the game more clearly than the players.

She clearly knew that Jin Lilai wasn’t a good person for Li Wanru, Li Wanru must know it too.

But the saddest part for a woman is living a life without the courage to divorce.

She has come to understand that Li Wanru won’t willingly divorce.

Even if she wanted to divorce, Jin Lilai wouldn’t let her go.

Huo Tingdong said: “Jin Lilai is not someone to be trifled with; avoid any contact with him.”

People like him who are greedy for money will often do anything when there’s profit to be made.

Lin Qi nodded: “Okay.”

At the crossroads.

Huo Tingdong stopped the car and put it in gear.

He looked at Lin Qi meaningfully.

Lin Qi felt uncomfortable under his gaze, “Why… why are you staring at me like that?”

Huo Tingdong said: “At the sales center just now, didn’t you call me ‘husband’? Why have you stopped now?”

Lin Qi awkwardly said: “That was a… slip of the tongue!”

Li Wanru had previously referred to Huo Tingdong by constantly calling him “your husband,” leading to her own slip-up.

Huo Tingdong said: “Is this the first time you called me husband?”

Lin Qi recalled: “Seems like it is…”

Huo Tingdong said: “Sounds good, call me that from now on.”

He seemed quite pleased.

Lin Qi, however, chuckled and said: “We haven’t remarried yet; you’re at most my ex-husband.”

Huo Tingdong said: “Do I need to remind you again? We’re already in a trial marriage phase.”

Lin Qi: “…”

Huo Tingdong said: “When young people date, without a marriage certificate, without being married, don’t they also call each other ‘husband’ and ‘wife’? We should keep up with the times.”

Lin Qi said speechlessly: “The way you say it, it sounds like I’m so old! I’m young too!”

Huo Tingdong said: “That’s good, then call me that.”

Lin Qi felt she was being led around again.

This man, she hadn’t realized before how “silver-tongued” he could be?

Seeing Lin Qi looking somewhat overwhelmed and apparently unused to changing the way she addressed him, Huo Tingdong suddenly leaned in close, his lips parting slightly to whisper in her ear: “Wife?”

His breath was like the fragrance of orchids, the heat from his lips as if scorching her earlobe.

Lin Qi covered her ears sensitively, her face uncontrollably reddening to the base of her neck: “What… why are you getting so close?”

Huo Tingdong said: “Is it not okay?”

Lin Qi said: “You suddenly changing how you address me, I’m not used to it.”

But Huo Tingdong insisted confidently: “It’s fine, just call me that more often, and you’ll get used to it.”

Before he left, he had been annoyed by her inexplicable anger. Momo couldn’t stand it and suddenly told him, “Chasing your wife, what need is there for face?”

What need is there for pride in front of your wife?

Huo Tingdong asked: “Wife, don’t be angry, okay? I didn’t mean to stay out all night yesterday, I was at the company because of an overseas video conference, I didn’t sleep the entire night.”

Saying this, he rested his head on her shoulder, “I feel like I could fall asleep right now.”

Lin Qi tensed up, and seeing the red light about to turn green, she pushed him: “Don’t sleep in the car, drive home then sleep!”

Huo Tingdong rested on her shoulder, motionless.

“Huo Tingdong!” Lin Qi tensed up, “You’re not really asleep, are you?”

Is he playing possum with her?

Huo Tingdong said: “Call me ‘husband’.”
