"Ji Hanyu, are you trying to kick me out just so you won’t continue to bother your dear wife?" Li Mingmo looked at Ji Hanyu with a look of heart-wrenching pain, as if Ji Hanyu had done something unforgivable to him.

Ji Hanyu: "Drunk people always say they’re not drunk, and people pretending to sleep can never be woken."

Li Mingmo: "..."

"Alright, what’s the mission you’ve got for me?" Li Mingmo got back to business, dropping the act.

Ji Hanyu: "My people found out that Number Three is in G City now.

I’m planning to go there too, but I’ll make a big deal out of it.

As for you, you need to go in disguise."

"OK... got it." Li Mingmo made an OK gesture, "So you’re in the open, and I’m in the shadows.

I’ll have my godfather arrange an overseas mission for me, of course, a fake one, just as a cover, but it has to look real."

"Then let’s get moving, make arrangements tonight," Ji Hanyu said, "I’m setting off for G City early tomorrow morning. Luckily, I have a project there, so it won’t seem too deliberate."

"Understood." Li Mingmo agreed and started getting dressed, "This time, I must catch that dog of a Number Three, or else I’ll be single for life."

Ji Hanyu: "..."

"By the way, you can meet Xi Wei in G City, but absolutely not as Li Mingmo and not with your identity," Ji Hanyu emphasized.

He knew that Li Mingmo understood, but when it comes to feelings, many things aren’t within rational control.

Moreover, Li Mingmo isn’t exactly the most rational person.

"Alright, alright." Li Mingmo said, "What are you worried about when I’m on the job?

Besides, why would I want to see Xi Wei? That girl has no heart, calls your wife and kid every day, but never calls me, not even a word of greeting, I definitely won’t go see her."

"Heh..." Ji Hanyu chuckled coldly, giving Li Mingmo an expression to read for himself.

Li Mingmo fumed: "...Damn, what kind of look is that? Are you openly, blatantly showing distrust in me?"

Ji Hanyu: "Isn’t it obvious enough?"

Li Mingmo: "..."

The next day, Ji Hanyu told Bai Haoxue that he was going on a business trip to G City.

Bai Haoxue calmly helped him prepare the luggage he needed, without showing the reluctance and frustration of the previous two times.

Ji Hanyu was displeased, and as Bai Haoxue turned to get clothes in the closet, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist: "Mrs. Ji, your husband is going on a business trip, shouldn’t you give me some attention?"

Bai Haoxue looked up at him with a smile, "What kind of attention does Mr. Ji require?"

"Like this?" Bai Haoxue stood on tiptoe and leaned in to kiss Ji Hanyu’s thin lips.

Ji Hanyu shook his head, still unsatisfied, "Mrs. Ji, your calm demeanor gives me the illusion that now you’ve caught me, you don’t treasure me anymore."

Bai Haoxue: "..."

This man, he’s really good at overthinking.

Besides, that line seems more suitable for a woman to say, doesn’t it?

"Ji Hanyu, you’re overacting!" Bai Haoxue continued to help him pack his clothes, "You’re just going to G City for a project, I don’t need to act like we’re parting forever with great reluctance.

And you’re out there making money to support the family, while I just need to be beautiful like a flower. I think our roles are pretty clear, and I quite like this arrangement.

So, Mr. Ji, go make money for the family, your wife here is very good at spending it."

Ji Hanyu: "..."
