203 — Wife, When Will You Call Me Honey?
He sighed. He had always know his boss was crazy, but the frightening frigidity he felt him radiate on their way here was on another level.
The closer they got, the colder he became, until the temperature in the car almost rivaled the one outside, in the snow. He had never seen him so furious, so violent.
Tong Zhian, who had grown closer to his boss in the past few weeks, could not say anything during the ride at all. One thing was clear. The person that was going to bear the brunt of his anger was not going to end well.
He could only hope his boss would not become a murderer. But if he really became one, would he be able to stomach prison food? With his arrogant and narcissistic behavior, wouldn't other inmates trample him to death?
Thinking up to here, he sighed again. It was better to just focus on the snow.
Just as Tong Zhian was worrying about the possibility of residents being snowed in, Gao Tinghua came out wiping his fingers one by one with a white handkerchief.
"Make sure she gets sent to Chairman Li tonight. Contact his men and inform them in advance." He ordered after entering.
Hearing this, Tong Zhian heaved a sigh of relief. That meant the person was still alive. His boss had not become a murderer and didn't have to go and learn good behavior in prison!
His voice was almost nasal as he replied loudly with feeling, "Yes Boss, understood!"
Gao Tinghua narrowed his eyes at his enthusiastic display of emotion, but he did not probe. He leaned his head against the seat.
Looking at her face twist in pain as her eyes turned bloodshot, his anger had been assuaged, at least most of it.
The little left was directed at himself.
It had occurred to him that he deserved to be punished too. If he hadn't found out about his relationship to Pei Yueran, he would have done something unforgivable to her. Just the thought chilled him.
He was well on his way to becoming a beast due to lust and obsession. It was a sobering thought.
His brows furrowed, then loosened. What was done was done, but he planned to try making amends anyway he could.
Having made up his mind, he said to Tong Zhian, "Go to my parents' house."
Tong Zhian responded merrily.

Li Chuanmo received a call while escorting Su Qianhua and Jiang Philip to their car. He picked it and listened, then said, "Got it," before hanging up.
"Ranran, see you tomorrow, we need to go shopping! Boss Li, I had a really nice time. Thank you for having us." Su Qianhua said as they got to the parking lot.
Pei Yueran nodded helplessly. Although shopping with Su Qianhua was like getting caught in a whirlwind, she had no choice but to agree. Hopefully, the pregnancy would slow her down a bit.
Li Chuanmo nodded with a straight face before saying, "You're welcome. You're my wife's best friend after all, and it's her house too."
Su Qianhua giggled at his words and her friend's corresponding shyness, while Jiang Philip muttered jealously, "Not because she's my wife? Has our friendship all this years been a lie?"
Su Qianhua gently shoved him with her shoulder, telling him to keep his mouth shut. Jiang Philip almost stumbled due to that "gentle" shove.
After they said their goodbyes, the Jiangs drove off, while Pei Yueran turned to go back into the house to get her things.
Li Chuanmo put a hand on her shoulder, stopping her, "Bei Fengxue is being sent back. Do you want to go see her?"
Pei Yueran shook her head slowly, "I see. No, I don't want to see her. I would have wanted to if I didn't know her, but now that I know who she is, her motive is pretty evident. I'll leave her in your hands."
Li Chuanmo nodded in understanding.
She then looked at him, saying gently, "Please, do not do anything drastic. Let the police handle things and don't take matters into your own hands, leaving a handle for others to grab into in the future."
Li Chuanmo cradled her cheek lovingly in his hands, "Alright, I'll listen to you." He knew she was saying it for his own good.
"Since you aren't going with me, then let me drive you home." The way he said it made it obvious that he had made up his mind to do just that, so Pei Yueran didn't argue. "Thanking Chairman Li then."
Li Chuanmo raised his brow so high that it almost disappeared, making Pei Yueran laugh. The crisp sound tickled his heart.
"What did you call me, WIFE?" His emphasis was too blatant.
"Chairman Li," Pei Yueran repeated with an "innocent" look, her eyes curved.
"Wife, when will you call me Honey?" Li Chuanmo asked with hot eyes. So hot infact, that Pei Yueran felt scalded.
"La-later. Let's talk about this later."
So Chairman Li identified a new goal that day: Make my wife call me Honey before the end of our honeymoon!

The first time Gong Anwei found out that his boss had mafia tendencies was a few months ago. At the time, he had just started working for him and had not grasped his nature.
He agreed that the assailant deserved to be punished, but he didn't agree with his boss's methods of taking law into his hands.
Concerning Fu Mengyao the mastermind, he had even thought, "although that lady did something wrong, she was a lady after all, and wasn't even psychologically sound. What if she only made a mistake?"
Now his boss was still unfathomable, but he understood that he didn't do things without thinking, and he wasn't a cruel person by nature.
Infact, after witnessing the state the Young Miss was in this time when his boss rescued her, Gong Anwei didn't know when he started thinking about suitable torture methods.
By the time he reacted, he hurriedly deleted the search entry on Baidu. He didn't want them to start recommending weird articles like "hundred methods of inhumane torture (tried and trusted)", or something.
He consoled himself by saying it wasn't that he had a bloodthirsty nature, it was only because that woman was too evil.
It made him realize that indeed, hell had no fury than a woman scorned.
As he drove along, the scenery changed, the surroundings becoming more and more deserted.
He shuddered. But how did his boss attract such strange women in fact? One directly wanted to murder the Young Miss, while the other even planted herself near the Young Miss and planned to destroy her life.
They were too scary ah!
Thankfully he had not attracted any strange woman recently. His girlfriend was gentle and lovely. He made up his mind to be a plain, boring man who wore thick glasses.
He could not afford such dangerous affection!
