Li Meien looked at Li Hou and smiled. “You too, Butler Li. Doudou is now the eldest daughter of the Wen family. As the butler, you should take the lead and call her Young Mistress. Do you understand?”
“Yes, ma’am.” Li Hou faced Wandou and called her “Young Mistress.”
“Okay, if there’s nothing else, you can leave. Don’t stay here. There are still many things to prepare for tomorrow’s birthday party. Go get busy!”
Li Hou stared at her for a few seconds before leaving.
Li Meien turned to Wan Dou. “That’s enough, Young Mistress. Are you satisfied now?”
Wan Dou smiled and went back to her room. Behind her, Li Mei’en’s smile was gone, and her half-narrowed eyes shot a cold dagger-like glare.
After Wan Dou closed the door, she turned and went downstairs to look for Li Hou.
Li Hou was instructing a few servants to prepare the things when Li Meien came over and said, “Butler Li, come here for a while. I have a few things to confirm about the banquet tomorrow. Take me to the warehouse.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Li Hou followed Li Meien to a storage warehouse on the first floor.
After entering, Li Mei’en immediately locked the door and turned around. He reached out to touch Li Hou’s face and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Li Hou said as he grabbed her hand.
“That wretched girl is simply lawless! Don’t worry, I’ll help you settle this score tomorrow,” Li Mei’en said, his heart aching.
“It doesn’t matter to me. I just feel bad for Xiaoyu. Her leg is already so injured.”
“My heart hurts too! But what can we do? We have to endure it for the future.”
“I can’t take it anymore.”
Li Hou suddenly pressed Li Mei’en against the wall and kissed her madly. The two of them had been sneaking around like this, hoping that their relationship could see the light sooner.
When the two of them came out of the warehouse, no one could tell what they had done inside.
When they were outside, Li Meien said, “Butler Li, go make the arrangements and rest early. I don’t want anything to go wrong at tomorrow’s banquet.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Li Meien went straight upstairs to the master bedroom. Her husband, Wen Zhehan, was leaning against the bed frame, reading a book.
“Where have you been? What took you so long?”
“Oh, I went to see Xiaoyu. Then I went to check the warehouse to prepare for tomorrow’s banquet.”
“Mm.”
Wen Zhehan expressed his understanding and did not ask further.
Li Meien let out a sigh of relief and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Li Mei’en stood in front of the mirror and looked at his body carefully. Fortunately, there were no signs of ambiguity.
After taking a shower, Li Meien came out of the bathroom and returned to the bed. “Zhehan, it’s getting late. Go to bed early!”
“You sleep first. I’ll read some more.”
“Alright!”
Li Meien lay down to sleep. In fact, she did not have much feelings for Wen Zhehan. The two of them were in the same bed and had different dreams.
Wen Zhehan had always treated her with a lukewarm attitude. That was why when he could not satisfy her sexual needs she needed to seek satisfaction from other men.
As for why she chose Li Hou, it was because Li Hou had always loved her. He had made many sacrifices for her and had waited for her for so many years without any regrets. He even thought of ways to help her marry into the Wen family.
