422 Old Wang, Isve Grown Up! (2/2)

Li Wan'er seemed oblivious to Wang Baole's rage. Before she left, she reiterated the fact that she was holding firm to her views. If Wang Baole didn't handle the matter, she would report her views to the Governor and get the Governor to make a decision.

She's crazy. She's a completely different person from last night. Does this Li Wan'er have a sister or something? Wang Baole, in his anger, began to grow suspicious. The attitudes of Li Wan'er in the day and during the night were simply too drastically different.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Baole sent a voice transmission to Li Xiu. He found out that besides Li Wan'er, Li Xiu had no other sisters. Wang Baole simply couldn't figure out what Li Wan'er was thinking.

He carried his bewilderment and doubt with him. That night, as Wang Baole was about to meditate, he heard a knock at his door. He saw through the array formation Li Wan'er standing at his doorstep. He was stunned.

What's the meaning of this? She fights with me with that cold attitude of hers in the day, then at night… Wang Baole was on the verge of anger. He snorted and unlocked the gates. He was about to say something, but Li Wan'er was already strolling in and heading for the secret chamber. She turned the lights off…

Wang Baole was dazed once again. He stood, bewildered and lost, outside the door. After a long while, he shut the door and turned towards the secret chamber. There was a strange expression on his face. He thought about how aggravating the other had been in the day. Then, he snorted and stomped into the secret chamber…

The night passed.

The days passed in this manner. The relationship between Wang Baole and Li Wan'er grew ever stranger. They continued to bicker in the day due to their differences in opinion over administrative matters, but when night arrived… Li Wan'er would turn up punctually—every time. She would head for the secret chamber without a word and turn the lights off.

Wang Baole finally resigned himself to Li Wan'er's behavior. He vented his frustrations with Li Wan'er in the day on her at night. Li Wan'er didn't seem to mind Wang Baole's behavior…

Finally, one night, inside Wang Baole's secret chamber, in the dark, his voice, filled with anger, rang out.

”Just follow my orders to handle the matter of Liu Daobin!”

Li Wan'er was silent. She seemed to be controlling herself.

”You're not saying a thing? I'm going to make you say something!” Wang Baole snorted. He did something, and soon, Li Wan'er's breathing quickened rapidly. It could be heard loudly and clearly even outside the secret chamber. Finally, she was reduced to a trembling mess. She seemed to have fallen into a daze.

”I'm going to say it again. Just follow my orders to handle the matter of Liu Daobin. Are you going to do as I said?” Wang Baole roared in a low voice. Li Wan'er's voice trembled. Her consciousness seemed to be slipping away, and her voice shook as she spoke.

”I'll… I'll do as you said…”

Wang Baole was immediately filled with satisfaction and snorted. Li Wan'er kept her word. When they met again the next day, despite her cold and expressionless face, she didn't bring up the topic of Liu Daobin again. She followed Wang Baole's instructions and didn't blow the matter up. She didn't pursue it further.

This finally allowed Wang Baole to piece together the way to interact with and engage with Li Wan'er. The two of them continued this strange dance. It was during this time that Chen Mu acquired his access rights to the array formation. He paid Li Wan'er another visit at her office.

This time, he wasn't here for resources and support, but to soothe the tensions between the both of them. He had even prepared a gift for Li Wan'er and invited her to have dinner with him.

Li Wan'er turned down Chen Mu's invitation directly, with no expression on her face.

”Wan'er, let bygones be bygones. We're engaged, after all. This is a fact that can't be changed.” Chen Mu smiled. He ignored Li Wan'er's refusal. He never cared for her anyway. He only intended to soothe the tensions between them after obtaining his access to the array formation. He had been residing in the new city for quite some time and had been steadily growing hot and bothered watching Li Wan'er's beautiful face and her curvaceous figure.

As he spoke, Chen Mu got to his feet and came to Li Wan'er's side. He reached for her hand.

Just as he was about to touch her, Li Wan'er's face darkened. Her cultivation erupted and immediately drove Chen Mu back. For the first time, her eyes flashed with a harsh light. She said coolly.

”Mayor Chen, please control yourself!”

”Me? Control myself? Li Wan'er, I'm just trying to hold your hand, but you won't even allow that. Wang Baole touched you all over in that cave!” Chen Mu erupted in rage, his facial features contorting into a gruesome expression. He was about to step forward. However, this time, Li Wan'er didn't continue to hold herself back and slapped Chen Mu!

”Scram!”
