《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 10: Finding a Paramour
Advertisement
Wu Mei was the granddaughter-in-law that Grandpa Li had decided on. He had half forced Li Nanchen to marry Wu Mei and requested for this marriage to last for at least three years, unless Wu Mei was willing to get a divorce.
Looking at her side profile, Li Nanchen did not understand how a woman could change her attitude so quickly.
He was about to say something when Li Nanchen suddenly heard his phone ring.
Wu Mei looked back and frowned when she saw the name on the screen.
"Lin Piaopiao..."
That woman who kept seducing Li Nanchen and bullying the Host!
She clearly lusted after Li Nanchen, yet she always pretended to be pitiful and innocent. She was much more shameless than Wu Yi!
Wu Mei stared fixedly at Li Nanchen. Suddenly, she thought of something and approached him with a mischievous smile. With raised brows, she used her hand to tease his Adam's apple as she said, "President Li really knows how to play around. You're with your wife, but you're going to talk on the phone with your mistress?"
"Is she here to rush you to divorce me?"
Li Nanchen looked at her deeply. He did not speak, nor did he pick up the call. The ringing eventually stopped on its own.
Wu Mei languidly pushed Li Nanchen away and fiddled with her hair.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disrupt you from picking up your call..."
Wu Mei didn't look apologetic at all.
"I just want to tell you that even if it's a contract marriage, you can't seduce other people and cheat on me."
If word got out, wouldn't she lose face?
She did not want the headlines of the newspapers and media to be filled with photos of her "being cheated on"!

Wu Mei brows knitted together as she thought of something and added, "Otherwise, I'll also look for a paramour outside too!"
"..." Li Nanchen narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked at Wu Mei.
Does she know what she's talking about?
"Ring, ring, ring..." Lin Piaopiao called again.
Wu Mei shrugged and turned to look out the window. "Do you need me to cover my ears?" she asked.
"There's no need. We're not in the kind of relationship you think we are."
Li Nanchen took out a Black Card and placed it in her palm. He said, "Go and take a walk in the mall. The chauffeur will pick you up at night."
Looking at the credit card with no credit limit, she opened the car door without hesitation. She stood by the side of the road and waved at him through the window, sending him a provocative glance.
"Remember what I said." She swiped her thumb across her neck and mouthed the words to him before turning around and walking away in the opposite direction.
Li Nanchen looked at her back view through the rearview mirror. He lowered the soundproof divider and asked, "How has grandpa's health been recently?"
"Pretty good," the driver replied respectfully.
She added, "Ms Lin's father has been treating Old Master Li."
Li Nanchen heaved a sigh of relief. He stared at Lin Piaopiao's number and reluctantly called her back, "What's the matter?"
...
On the boulevard, falling flowers floated onto Wu Mei's shoulders.
Li Nanchen's car disappeared from her sight. Wu Mei kicked two pieces of gravel and continued to stroll around.
Casually pocketing the Black Card, Wu Mei bought a bottle of Coke and waited for the traffic light at the cross junction...
"Eh? Why am I here?"

She looked up and was stunned when she saw the familiar storefront.
This was the bar she was at last night when she had just woken up!
Thinking about the drugged alcohol and the blonde, Wu Mei changed direction and headed straight for the bar.
In her memory, this bar was quite safe. Why was she targeted?
There must be something fishy going on.
Since she had time, she did not mind finding out who was the person who wanted to harm her. Coincidentally, she was not in a good mood.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Wu Mei lifted her hand and knocked on the door.
Behind the dark glass door, a few figures could be vaguely seen. However, it was not opening hours yet, so no one opened the door for her.
Wu Mei tilted her head and pondered for a moment. Then, she put the cola aside, rubbed her palm and loosened her joints. Then, she raised her leg and kicked the door!
Clang!
The door crashed to the ground.
The few service staff who were smoking behind the door were so frightened that their faces turned pale. "You, you, you, who are you..."
"Where's your boss? Get him to come out, I have something to ask him."
Wu Mei picked up the cola and dusted herself off before swaggering in.
"Stop, you can't just enter..."
The attendant finally recalled that he had seen her last night. Just as he was about to stop her, he saw Wu Mei glaring at him coldly. He was so frightened that he dared not utter a word.
"Where is the surveillance room?" Wu Mei asked.
The waiter was so frightened that he surrendered immediately and pointed to the darkness at the end of the corridor as he told her, "Second room on the left..."

With me, Cloud, here even the sky were to fall dont you even have a slighest worry because i will definiteley protect you. This is my first time writing a story, i dont know if you guys will receive it well or not. I started to read LN from NU and RL, and it enchanted me. But unfortunately the author and translator are humans too so they couldnt keep up with my reading rate. From what i had read, i started to imagine what if the world like this, or what if this character had an ability like this or what if the decision the character made was different than the stories. All of that keep coming up as i read, and then a few weeks ago i started to write what i imagine into a new story. Through writing the story i learnt that making a story isnt as easy as imagine. I must think of name, plot, character personalities, the environment, etc. Then one day i decided, fuck it lets post it first and see how it is going to be. To tell you the truth i like chinese martial arts story better but i cant make chinese name since i dont know the language. I learnt from the internet that creating a random name in Chinese is dangerous so i make this story to be Japanese like western story. But i still want to add martial arts and cultivation element to it. I will write what my imagine is like, something will be changed along the way thats for sure but i hope you guys will understand it. Each chapter will at least have 1500 words but i am not so good at english so correct me if there is something wrong with my grammar. I post this so that i can share what i imagine. One last thing, i like OP Main Character and although i dont hate training plot but i dont like weak main character. I hope you like what i write, any critics and suggestion is welcomed so write it on comment section so we can discuss it with the others. Warning For you guys that dont like OP Main Character, bad language, violence, and maybe in the future there will be NSFW content, dont read it For those who seek perfection, you wont find it here Strategy, Business Management, Trickery not my forte so dont seek it here but i will try to make it if possible Character skills will randomly appear as i tried to think what op skill i want for my character so bear with it Plot will be good, well i hope so if not then bear with it

Tales of the Legendary Scholar
They meet in the most unlikely moment and turned their life around. Freidrech newly arrived in his own nation's capital city, which is so foreign to him compared to his village's idyllic and nondiscriminatory atmosphere, after he is forced to come. Now, he is facing a royal prince and tells him to bow. This draws out one of his late father's teachings from the deepest recesses in his mind. "The blood of your great ancestors runs in your veins. Don't easily bow down to anyone, or accept suppression by any being, not even from a monarch, unless you pledge your allegiance to him. Also, giving in to oppression is directly telling the oppressor that you're easy prey and open for manipulation." He is uncertain on how to face this oppression right now. Will he bows or not? What will he do to uphold his father's words while keeping his life safe? As for the prince, Theodrech has nothing to do with Freidrech, so he wishes to let this slip, but the boy opens his mouth and proposes the most ludicrous challenge he ever heard and triggers his curiosity. "I, Freidrech Goederf Gerboud, son of the late Village Chief Louvel Gerboud of Wrilon, will challenge you, Your Highness, to a battle of riddles… If you win, I will not only bow but be your servant for the rest of my life." This amuses the prince. It is the first he met a boy of the same age who is not intimidated by the air of authority he projects. Rather, this boy challenges him. "Why are you so headstrong? In fact, bowing to me is an honor. You saw the King's noble Knights. When they saw me, they bowed," says Theodrech, testing Freidrech. "Allow me to be forward, Your Highness. For me, bowing to a monarch does not guarantee loyalty. If I were you, I rather have men who stand straight in my presence but who got my back, than bowing men who are dreaming of my death," replies Freidrech. The prince’s curiosity increases. A huge smile is seen on his face. Prince Theodrech decides to take Freidrech under his wing. Little did they know, this boy who Prince Theodrech takes in as his confidant and friend in the most ridiculous fashion is someone indispensable in his life and the one who can help him succeed the throne when he almost believes he has lost. Thus, the Tales of the Legendary Scholar begins. ------ o ------ Old Synopsis: A famous ancient adage stated, behind a successful man is a woman BUT… In these lands, the monarchs are seeking not a woman to stand behind them but the man hailed as the Legendary Scholar.
