Li Zhenguan’s mood seemed to lift a bit. He turned his head to ask, his voice lowered because of the stranger in the driver’s seat: “Really? You really won’t go to such places in the future?”

Wang Zhao’s temple throbbed. Meeting Li Zhenguan’s glistening gaze, for the first time she doubted herself. What kind of impression had she left on Li Zhenguan that made him so distrustful of her words? Or was she actually the kind of woman who particularly liked going to bars and nightclubs?

“I won’t go,” Wang Zhao said decisively, feeling the need to explain herself a bit. “Today I received a call from Xu Yingchun. I went over and had a few drinks. I left before their performance ended. Next time they invite me, I’ll definitely ask clearly. As long as it’s a place like that, I definitely won’t go. Okay?”

Li Zhenguan had lowered his voice to speak, and Wang Zhao had also lowered her voice to reply, so the two were very close, shoulders touching.

She turned her head to look at the young man.

Li Zhenguan didn’t respond, looking down at the phone in his hand. He was actually considering when to bring up the text message he had received earlier.

This text message might not have been sent by Chen Fangli, but as long as Wang Zhao had even a hint of doubt in her heart, it would be his victory.

“Still not happy?” Wang Zhao asked, seeing no reaction from Li Zhenguan. Mainly because she also felt that what she had done wasn’t quite right. If it were in her previous world, if a husband who had obtained a marriage certificate and was about to get married went to a bar to watch strippers perform, Wang Zhao would definitely smile and tell him to get lost.

Now putting herself in that position, Wang Zhao also felt a bit guilty. She couldn’t help but rub her nose, sighed, and cursed Xu Yingchun that unreliable one again in her heart.

Li Zhenguan looked up. The light in the car was very dim. If they were sitting in the Li family’s car, Li Zhenguan would definitely be acting coy and spoiled now, because the driver in the front seat couldn’t see or hear. But now there was another unfamiliar woman driving the car, so Li Zhenguan was unwilling to show this side of himself. He just pulled Wang Zhao’s sleeve, indicating for her to lower her head.

Then he called her name softly.

Wang Zhao couldn’t help but soften her heart. She felt it was the fault of the night, the fault of the dim light in the car, the fault of the grievance in Li Zhenguan’s voice. How could there be such a person whose mere calling of her name could make her heart melt, unable to help lowering her own standards.

“Wang Zhao, will our wedding proceed normally?” Li Zhenguan asked in a low voice. His voice seemed to contain a lot of uncertainty, and also fear.

The shadows made the young man’s expression unclear, his originally delicate features seemed to be covered with a layer of gloom, his brows and eyes dimmed considerably.

At this moment, Wang Zhao hadn’t thought too much. When they got their marriage certificate before, the whole process from entering the marriage registration center to walking out was too fast, so fast that Wang Zhao didn’t have a sense of reality. At that time, holding the two red books in her hand still felt like a dream. After that, they still went on as usual, nothing changed, but once the wedding is held four days later, life afterwards will never be the same.

Perhaps this is the sense of ceremony that Chinese people trust.

Wang Zhao also had trepidation, unease and uncertainty in her heart, but she was a person who could hold herself together, believing in the principle that things will work out when the time comes, and that once something is done, it will definitely be done well. She wasn’t showing as much anxiety as Li Zhenguan was now.

So she smiled: “We’ve already got the certificate. Even if the wedding doesn’t happen, we’re already considered… wife and husband. Thinking about it this way, what are you still uneasy about?”

Li Zhenguan said: “I received a text message in the afternoon, I don’t know who sent it.”

Wang Zhao’s hand involuntarily curled up a bit, she casually made an “mhm” sound with a rising tone, indicating a question.

She was afraid that at this moment, something else would appear that was beyond her control, especially since the original body might still have secrets she didn’t know about, maybe another bomb.

“The content of the text message was: She’s at The Shell,” Li Zhenguan repeated the content of the text message in a low voice.

At this moment, he wanted to look up to see Wang Zhao’s expression when she heard this, but he was lowering his head now, and the light in the car was too dim. If he raised his head, the movement would be too abrupt and instead reveal his own expression to Wang Zhao. So Li Zhenguan restrained his movement, only quietly listening to Wang Zhao’s heartbeat.

But he found no change, it even slowed down a bit.

Just as he was feeling confused and uneasy, the voice beside him came over, somewhat carelessly: “Who sent it?”

Li Zhenguan then raised his head, turned his face to look at Wang Zhao’s expression, but happened to meet her gaze, a pair of calm eyes coming into view.

Li Zhenguan slowly shook his head: “I don’t recognize this phone number, and when I called back, it showed the phone was turned off.”

So it was premeditated.

As Li Zhenguan had guessed, Wang Zhao also thought this number was most likely sent by Chen Fangli. But, on second thought, Wang Zhao felt it was unlikely. Chen Fangli looked like quite a refined young man, not the type who would do such a thing. Could it be one of the original body’s pursuers?

Thinking this way, Wang Zhao felt the matter became more complicated. All along, it couldn’t be that an invisible lunatic had been stalking her, right? Otherwise, how would they know she went to The Shell tonight?

And why would they send the message to Li Zhenguan?

Thinking this way, the possibility of Chen Fangli became greater again.

Wang Zhao had a guess in her heart, but didn’t tell Li Zhenguan. She only said, “It might be some scammer who sent it, no need to pay attention. You just need to prepare well for the wedding after you go back today. We probably won’t see each other for these few days. If there’s anything, just call me.”

Li Zhenguan withdrew his gaze from Wang Zhao’s face and slowly nodded.

Forty minutes later, they arrived at Li Zhenguan’s home. It was too late now, so Wang Zhao simply didn’t go in, just sending Li Zhenguan to the door before preparing to leave.

“Go to sleep early after you get back, it’s almost eleven o’clock now,” she said after Li Zhenguan entered the door, and also exchanged a few polite words with Zhang Shu on the side before leaving.

However, before leaving, Wang Zhao still asked Li Zhenguan for the phone number that sent the text message, saying she was still a bit uneasy and wanted to call and check it out, after all, one can’t be too careful.

The designated driver was still sitting in the car. Wang Zhao got in the car, this time she didn’t sit in the passenger seat but in the back seat.

After the car slowly drove away from this hillside villa, Wang Zhao slowly dialed this phone number.

As the car drove away, villas passed by the car window one by one. Along with the sound of the wind, Wang Zhao also heard the sound of the call connecting.

Not turned off?
