“Yeah?”

Tang Li looked at him in surprise, wondering what could bring such a busy person over.

She had a bad feeling about what was gonna happen.

The old man was apparently pleased, saying to them, “Go ahead. I’ll take a rest.”

Qi Yihan stood up and walked toward Tang Li.

Without a moment of hesitation, she turned around and walked out first.

The two of them went to the villa next door.

Butler Zhang, who was watering the plants in the courtyard, was surprised to see them come in at this point in time. He stood goggling at them and didn’t even notice that his clothes were all drenched by the water.

Qi Yihan suddenly looked at him and said, “Get out.”

Butler Zhang trembled at the order and left at once after turning off the water.

The two of them walked into the living room. Tang Li looked at the serious man sitting opposite her and asked first, “Why are you looking for me?”

Qi Yihan looked at her and said in a low voice, “In the future, if you dare do that kind of despicable thing to me again, we’ll divorce.”

Tang Li didn’t know what to say to that. She felt like the book was always trying to make her a character everyone hated.

Looking at the man who was obviously angry and was about to burst with anger, for some reason, she felt irritated. She stood up and walked over to stand in front of him.

Qi Yihan was really tall. As he sat there, he raised his head slightly to look at her. Though Tang Li stood in front of him, she was still not strong enough to suppress his violent and fierce aura. If it were anyone else, they would have been suppressed by his aura.

As the successor of Taoism, Tang Li was already a master in her teens, respected by everyone. She had seen all kinds of people and was not afraid of his aura at all. Instead, she leaned forward and looked into his eyes. With one hand on the sofa beside him, she said in an especially domineering manner,

“Huang Hao is indeed the person I sent to spy on you, but back then, I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life with you… But now, I want! We’re going to spend the rest of our lives together, so I won’t do anything to harm you and make you divorce me.”

The two of them were so close that they could see the subtle expressions on each other’s faces. A faint fragrance mixed with the smell of the laboratory wafted into his nose. Looking at the woman in front of him, Qi Yihan didn’t expect her to talk back when she should’ve been ridden with guilt. But for some reason, he started to believe in everything she said.

He looked right into her eyes without saying anything.

Tang Li had almond-shaped eyes. There was a glint in her eyes, and when she narrowed her eyes, there was an indescribable sharpness.

At this moment, she was staring at him angrily.

Seeing that Qi Yihan was silent, Tang Li thought that he did not believe her words. She pressed her other hand on his shoulder unhappily and said, “Anyway, I didn’t ask him to do what he did today. Yesterday, I told you that you would meet a lot of girls these two days… And you should also ask yourself why these women are throwing themselves at your feet.”

Qi Yihan was speechless, thinking to himself, “So in the end, it is my fault?”

After saying that, Tang Li retracted her hand and straightened her body. “I’ll make some antidotes for you. You can bring them with you, so you won’t get killed by poisons. This way, I won’t have to worry about you getting killed by wicked people.”

“…”

Qi Yihan was finally certain that this woman really did not want to divorce him

So, why didn’t she want to divorce him?

Looking at her in the eyes, he did not see a single bit of love.

“I can give you whatever you want as long as…”

Qi Yihan did not say the last few words, but Tang Li understood. She said seriously, “I want to be your wife!”

With that said, she crossed her arms and lifted her chin slightly. She looked like a queen. “Anyway, you promised me that as long as I treat your father, we won’t get a divorce. If something like this happens again in the future, just remember that I don’t mean it, and I will try to be a better wife!”

Although the Host had caused so much trouble, since she was in this body now, she would have to clean the mess.

Qi Yihan looked at her, his fingers twitching and his expression complicated.

This woman was too different from what he remembered.

Could it be that she had always been acting in the past, and this was her true nature now?

Qi Yihan fell into deep thought because of the drastic change in his attitude towards her. Seeing that he was still silent, Tang Li became even more frustrated and was about to ask him to say something.

Suddenly, Qi Yihan’s phone rang.

He took out his phone. What the other party said to him was inaudible, but he suddenly froze and replied, “I’ll be right there.”

Then, he put away his phone and looked at Tang Li seriously. “I hope this will not happen again.”

With that said, he stood up and left.

Tang Li watched him leave. She sat on the sofa and rested her chin on her hand, thinking about what else the Host had done that would make him divorce her.

After thinking for a while, she covered her forehead and muttered, “I wonder if she did anything good.”

In fact, the Host was not evil by nature. However, many people around her were making her do stupid things to piss off Qi Yihan, so Tang Li was not sure what kind of surprises were in store for her.

She walked out of the villa and was taking a stroll in the neighborhood.

At that moment, the neighborhood was packed with cars everywhere. Tang Li suddenly recalled that not a single person from the Qi family had come to visit the old man so far, and she was certain that Qi Yihan must have done something to stop them from coming.

After she walked for a while, a car suddenly drove past her and then pulled off the road. The car window rolled down where a man with a short-sleeved black t-shirt and big eyes looked out.

Seeing her, the man was surprised. “Tang Li, why are you here?”

Tang Li looked at the man in the car, and the information about this person automatically appeared in her mind. His name was Ouyang Yi, and he went to the same high school with the Host. He had been pursuing the Host from the first year of high school to the third year of high school. However, this person was not the type that the Host liked, so he was rejected every time.

But this person was not someone who gave up easily. He went on trying and trying.

According to the original storyline, it was this benefactor who helped the Host get back on her feet after being suppressed by Qi Yihan.

However, Because Ouyang Yi was from a military family, the author did not dare to write much about him and only mentioned him casually.

As for how Qi Yihan dealt with this person, it was not written in the book at all.

“Ouyang Yi.”

“What? It’s been only a few years since we last met, and you don’t recognize me anymore?”

After saying that, he opened the door, got out of the car, and strode to her.

Because he went to a military school, the two of them had indeed not seen each other for a few years.

He liked her exactly because of the fact that she always ignored him.

“What do you want?” Tang Li did not intend to catch up with him. However, seeing the righteousness in him, she kindly reminded him, “You will face a bloody calamity soon. Be careful.”

Ouyang Yi, who was just thinking about catching up with his crush, was rendered speechless.
