That reminded Lihua if she should tell Wei about Jia's truth or not. She felt strange. He had 'killed' Jia but now was telling the murderer himself that she was alive.

"Lihua."

His gentle voice broke her stupor. He pressed his hand against hers, and his black orbs peered into her with all their sincerity.

"I came to tell you that it won't be for longer."

She trembled.

"I have already started to corner Jiang Zhen. The first part is showing success."

"What is it?"

"Friction between him and Li Dong."

Her eyes slightly widened.

Li Dong's base is where sis is working undercover right now. Does that mean Wei knows about her?

"Renshu and Meng Ya are doing their jobs too."

She stiffened. Tears rimmed her eyes. "Yaya...? Y-You met Yaya too?"

"En. She is safe. You don't have to worry about her."

Words couldn't express how relieved she felt. She softly exhaled.

"Not just them, Mo Huojin and Xia Nuan are working from their side on the police side."

She was shocked by his words.

"Them? They agreed to cooperate with you?"

Wei nodded. "We have the same enemy. You are..." he hesitated, "S-Song Jia's sister too. Naturally, they want to help."

Mentioning Jia made his heart stop beating in fear. Everytime Jia was spoken of, it stirred the hatred within her for Wei.

Lihua now was confused if Wei was aware of the truth or not. He talked about Li Dong which should mean he might know about her working there. But now his expression seemed different. He was panicking.

Does he know or not?

She bit her lip. "Wei."

He stiffened, and a lump formed in his throat.

Will she push me away again?

"Do you know that..."

Just then, the door slightly opened, and they froze. Little Ruru came in, rubbing his eyes and cutely yawning. "Sleep with Lihua..."

Qingqing glanced at him with one eye and went back to her beauty sleep.

Ruru shut the door and trotted towards her, his teddy bear loosely hanging from his right arm.

Lihua's eyes rolled backwards in great relief.

It feels as if I won a war.

She instinctively thought it could be Shen Yang or Jiang Zhen, possibly noticing strange whispers coming from her room.

"Lihua..." Ruru lifted his arms as a gesture for her to hug him when he suddenly pulled a brake in his tracks.

His watery eyes locked with Wei, who was staring back at him with interest. Ruru stood frozen. He was the same man who acted crazily in the other villa when Jiang Zhen and Lihua came to meet him. The one who was locked up in his room.

Ruru widened his eyes in horror and immediately jumped to Lihua's side. He covered her belly with his small back and extended his arms sideways as if forming a barrier.

He didn't say a word, but his stance was clear in sending the message.

Back off.

Wei's beautiful brows furrowed.

Lihua's heart melted like a puddle of butter, and she hugged his back. "Aiyaaa, my Ruru is adorable and protective. You always remind me of Bobo."

He looked back at her questioningly.

Bobo?

"Bobo is also an adorable sweetie just like you! He is older than you. Hehe, you two are the same."

He obediently nodded. Though inwardly, he felt a sense of crisis coming.

Is Bobo cuter than me? Does Lihua like Bobo more than me?

He had numerous questions but right now, he had someone else to worry about.

Wei quietly asked, "He..."

"Oh," Lihua coughed. "I forgot to introduce you two. He is Jiang Ru. He is Jiang Zhen and Jiang Hua's son. Though I wonder how a monster like Jiang Zhen could have a cutie pie like him, yet he has...And Ruru, he is Wei, my husband-"

She froze as the 'husband' part accidentally slipped out of her tongue. She looked a little nervous and awkward. But Wei was over the moon. Imaginary flowers were blooming around his Godly handsome face.

She called me her husband...Her husband...

He felt he could hear violins and pianos in the background. His gaze softened and warmth greeted his face.

Lihua was at a complete loss.

Th-That...You are an idiot Lihua! You are dumb! Why did you suddenly forget that we have...

She looked away not wanting to remember about their divorce.

Ruru whispered. "Careful. Crazy man."

Wei - "..."

A surge of annoyance filled his chest. It was the same whenever he met Bobo.

He pursed his lips.

Why does everyone want to steal my Lihua away from me?

Lihua choked. "Ruru, it's alright. He is not a crazy man."

Ruru frowned and threw a suspicious glance at him. He turned and hugged her chest. "Don't like him."

"..."

Wei had the urge to grab the collar of his shirt and throw him out, who was tightly hugging Lihua. His small palms on her breasts made him grit his teeth.

"Isn't Ruru cute?" Lihua beamed.

Wei stiffened. His lips weren't smiling. "...Yes, he is."

Since Lihua said he is cute, he is cute.

He could never defy Lihua.

She said, "Thank God it was Ruru. If it had been someone else then...Wei, you shouldn't have taken the risk of coming here. Even if Chang Fang helped you, it's still dangerous."

He smiled hearing her concern. "I will be fine. I came here only when I was absolutely sure. I wouldn't put your safety in jeopardy."

Her heart skipped a beat.

"I was talking about your safety, silly..." she muttered.

Wei decided to leave now that he saw that Lihua and his child were safe. It pained him, but they needed more patience to end this war.

As he was about to go out through the window, Lihua asked, "Wei?"

He stopped and immediately turned. "Yes?"

historical

She lowered her gaze. "What Jiang Zhen said about you and my parents that day...is it true?"

He trembled.

There was a long silence.

"It is."

The corner of her eyes stung.

"But please give me a chance to explain once everything is over. Until then...I beg you not to hate me, Lihua," his voice cracked. "Please don't hate me."
