Did this man have special ears that heard even things that people chose not to mention?

"What do you mean 'how did I know'? Is it not obvious?"

"What's so obvious about what I said?" Geniuses were really hard to phantom.

"The dear general wants to play. Tsk, I missed him too."

"Are you trying to say that General Yun intentionally stalked you and found out you bribed that man, so he used that man to frame you? He even went as far to kill him?" It seemed too far fetched even for General Yun.

Lu Aotian gave her a side eye. He was so disgusted. "Or else you think that I framed him instead? Hacked into his account and used it to send out money, then killed the man to pin it on him?"

When he said it like that, it made more sense if General Yun was the culprit. He was extremely mannerless. Probably the only thing he wouldn't do was making the earth explode.

"Does he want you jailed?"

"No. He just wants to get my attention."

Just wanted to get his attention by commiting such an explosive crime? Just how intense were their battles? Urgh... she'd rather not think about it. "Do you trust me?" he suddenly asked.

She leaned onto his chest. "Of course I trust my man wouldn't be so idle as to do such lowly things." before he could heave a sigh of relief she continued. "But what's the deal with forgetting who your wife in name was? Do you really think I'll buy that?"

"Whether you buy or sell it, it's the truth. Otherwise do you think I actually liked Yun Xuan and wanted to be with her?"

"Who knows, she was your original fiancée." She blinked her eyes and pouted jealously. She looked so adorable he reached out to pinch her cheek lightly.

"But I only love you. Whether in the past, present or future, I'll only ever love you. Don't you know that?" he carried the jealous woman onto his lap to placate her.

"You only know how to flatter me! Don't we look alike? Who knows if you fell in love with her, hmph!"

"That's impossible. My heart was already filled with you."

"But I was just a stand-in. Wouldn't anyone else prefer the original?"

He tousled her long hair. "Of course anyone would prefer the original."

"See?" she glared at him and wriggled away from his lap angrily.

"Hey, I haven't finished my statement...." ...but I only like you was what he had intended to say. But the girl had already stormed upstairs.

"Baby, open the door okay?" he said as he blew kisses from outside her room.

The little woman inside obviously just wanted to throw a tantrum for the sake of it. She was not even angry.

Anyway, it was his job as a husband to coax her when necessary. Who told him to spoil her too much? "Honey, if you don't open the door, hubby will kick it open and you won't like the outcome."

Wan Jia who was sitting on the bed slapped her forehead. What a naughty threat.

"Baby, it's okay if you don't want to open the door. I just wanted to inform you that Little Jia and I are going for a str..." he didn't even finish the word 'stroll' before the door was magically opened.

"Stroll? Where? Can I join you?"

"..."

"Heh, I didn't think the 'almighty' General Yun would miss me so much."

Lu Aotian was on a phone call with General Yun.

General Yun erupted. "You punk! You're just a child. You were probably still in your mother's womb when I rose into power. Show some respect!"

Lu Aotian sneered. "Since you know I'm a child, why don't you play with someone your own age?"

Up to date, Lu Aotian did not understand just what this man had against him. Why did he hate him so much?

"You're in no place to tell me what to do!" he roared into Lu Aotian's phone.

"Oh? Then I do have a right to tell you how to do it? I'll gladly teach you a little."

Since the man was so idle as to play with people of the younger generation, he would teach him how to play. "Your pity card was too lowly. Tsk, did you think you would drive a wedge between Wanwan and I using such a lousy act? Your tricks are becoming worse by the day."

"Thanks for the pointer, but it would only never work for you." he harrumphed coldly.

Lu Aotian cursed him softly. So that's what he wanted. The maniac was not trying to make him look like a criminal in front of Wan Jia, he was playing a pity card with his daughter. He wanted to gain her sympathy and make her hate Lu Aotian so that she would help him 'revenge' against him?

What was wrong with this man? He would disregard two whole innocent lives just to make his daughter think he was wronged?

"Maybe I should seriously teach you, Yun, some scheming tricks. In exchange, you can teach me how to sire many daughters with different women to use them for schemes." With that, he hung up.

It was priceless to imagine the look on his face right now. Heh, he obviously thought he had decieved everyone into thinking that he had only ever had one mistress. Did he think everyone was as stupid as him?
