The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Chapter 289: There Is Only News About Sheng Hua And Fu Zhi

Li Nanli’s room was big.

He pushed the door open, and she saw that the room was painted in a clean mixture of black and white and seemed very tidy.

“You can use the bathroom I used just now. The water is ready, and you’re free to take a bath anytime you want,” Li Nanli said as he emerged from the bathroom. He was still wearing the white shirt, and the two buttons remained unfastened. Perhaps it was hot in the bathroom, as his neck and the tips of his ears were red. He grabbed a similar white shirt from his closet and said, “I don’t have any bathrobes, so you can wear my shirt for the time being.”

Fu Zhi did not notice anything at all as she took the shirt from Li Nanli’s hand. “Alright, I’m going to take a bath now. Don’t forget to bake a cake for me tomorrow.”

Li Nanli was quite surprised to see that she had not forgotten the things about her second brother. However, at the same time, he was relieved that she was just going to give him a cake only and nothing more.

Peeling his eyes away from her, he nudged his chin toward the bed and the black bed sheet and said, “Rest early.”

Fu Zhi went into the bathroom with Li Nanli’s shirt. Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped in her tracks. Turning her head around, she said, “Xiao Li.”

“Hmm?” Li Nanli looked at her.

“Have you been feeling too lonely recently?”

She pressed her lips tight as she tried her best not to accidentally hurt Li Nanli’s vulnerable heart. “Considering your physical condition, you should start a vegan diet and recite the holy names every day. Thinking too much will only add more damage to your already weakened body.”

Li Nanli was speechless.

Outside the villa, the rain continued to fall, creating a pitter-patter as it came in contact with the surface of the window. The noises of nature suddenly became loud and then soft, as if they were the crescendo and diminuendo of one vast, brilliant symphony. Li Nanli did not know what had gotten into his mind, but he swallowed the words that lingered on the tip of his tongue back into his stomach pit in the end. He went to take a bath towel from the closet and handed it to Fu Zhi.

“Okay, Aunt,” he answered, his voice sounding docile.

Fu Zhi nodded and went into the bathroom.

Li Nanli sat beside the bed and took a photo of the entire room, including Fu Zhi’s bag.

He checked the photo first before posting it in his WeChat Moments.

Very soon, Old Master Li video-called him. “You are still at the villa? Does the bag belong to Zhizhi?”

Old Master Li was now sitting in his study. He craned his neck as his eyes swiveled worriedly in their sockets. “You don’t have the WeChat numbers of those lunatics in the Fu Family, do you?”

Li Nanli replied to his questions one by one.

Tears immediately flowed out of his aged eyes when he heard what Li Nani had said. Then, he exposed his purpose for calling him. “Good, good, good. Judging by your progress, it won’t be long before you become the father of a son. After you marry Fu Zhi, make sure you treat her like a princess. You’ve always been a good grandson, but you have to do everything your wife says after you marry her. Then, when your wife passes away, you have to obey everything your son says. From the moment you tie the knot, your wife will be your sun, and you will revolve around her like the Earth. Make sure the Fu Family doesn’t find anything wrong with you and chase you back to the Li Family.”

Old Master Li made it look like he was giving away his daughter to some guy and was worried about her. As Li Nanli did not know how to reply, he received a Taobao link from his grandpa. “This ‘How To Become A Good Hubby’ book will teach you everything you need to know to capture the heart of your wife. Make sure you read through it and capture Zhizhi’s heart.”

Li Nanli did not want to talk to his grandfather anymore. After all, his main purpose for publishing the photo on his WeChat Moments was to show off to other people. He said, “I’m hanging up if you don’t have anything else to say.”

Upon seeing that his grandson was going to hang up, Old Master Li stopped fooling around and got down to business. “When are you coming back to the capital? That son of a swine from the Jiang Family is acting weird again. I heard that he’s going to develop some kind of black technology, and my people told me that he even invited Sheng Hua to his house...”
