《SECRET MARRIAGE: WIFE SPOILING HUSBAND {BOOK 2}》A bet

"I don't know what enmity you have with Zhang Zhehan. Neither do I know about the misunderstanding between you both, but kidnapping me is not the solution." Li Xiaolu said trying to get him to understand that what he was doing is wrong.
"Misunderstanding?" Long Xun snorted.
"Because of him, my father was killed. Because of him, I lost my family. Do you think this is a misunderstanding?" Long Xun asked in a grieved voice.
Li Xiaolu was speechless. What... What is Long Xun saying? Zhang Zhehan was the reason behind him losing everything. What is exactly going on? Li Xiaolu didn't really believe in Long Xun's words and Long Xun knew that.
Pinching his arm he smiled, "Any way you don't know anything about my past with Zhang Zhehan so let's not talk about that."
"I might not know what happened but I know Zhang Zhehan. He is a loyal man. As far as I remember from what you had told me, you are his best friend. He won't betray his own best friend. I am sure that there is something that you are unaware of. There must be some hidden conspiracy." Li Xiaolu explained.
Long Xun rolled his eyes. What conspiracy? It was just plain greed. "Xiaolu, you are taking his side because he is your husband. But I will bring the truth in front of you and the whole world. Just like I exposed the Li family for you, one day I will expose Zhang Zhehan too."
Seeing that hatred and determination to destroy Zhang Zhehan in Long Xun's eyes, Li Xiaolu sighed. She didn't know about many facts related to the matter and hence she was quiet. After a long silence, she said, "You are wrong."
"About what?"
"Zhang Zhehan didn't fail in his job to protect me. You asked me why he didn't help me with my revenge. It's because he knew how much this revenge was important to me." Li Xiaolu replied.

She was reborn and only Zhang Zhehan knew about this. She knew that Zhang Zhehan could have destroyed the Li family within a few seconds but she stopped him. In her past life, she went through hell. She was betrayed. She was killed. She suffered so much then how could she let somebody else take this revenge on her behalf.
"You know Long Xun, what I wanted to do was to destroy the Li family with my one efforts and I was this close in achieving that but you interfered," she added.
"Regarding the other things, Zhang Zhehan is not a God. He can't predict the future. He is a human being just like everybody else. Yes, he has power, wealth, fame, and influence but that doesn't mean that he will know what will happen to me ahead of time."
"Long Xun for you he might look like a husband who failed to protect me but for me, he is a husband who is willing to listen to my words." Li Xiaolu smiled, "I don't want to be a weak woman beside him. I don't want him to constantly worry about me. I don't want to be a woman hiding behind him and using his power for my personal benefits." Li Xiaolu continued.
"Although I can't deny that what you said about today's kidnapping is correct. If someone else would have kidnapped me then I would have been tortured. But Long Xun, apart from you name one person who has guts to kidnap me right under Zhang Zhehan's nose?" she asked.
Long Xun laughed, "You are correct. In this world, only I can defeat Zhang Zhehan. But Li Xiaolu no matter how you try to explain it to me. That fact is that he failed to protect you and that is not going to change."

"If it was me, then this wouldn't have happened." Long Xun added.
Li Xiaolu shrugged. She knew that no matter what she says it would be useless. Everybody had their own perspective and she knew that after today, Zhang Zhehan was not going to listen to her anymore. Today's incident would have been a shock to him and he would be strict regarding her safety. She sighed on thinking about her future days.
"How about we make a bet?" Long Xun suddenly asked.

"A bet? About what?"
"Once Zhang Zhehan arrives here, what do you think he would do? Would he beat me for kidnapping his wife or would he hug me for seeing his long lost best friend after a very long time?"
"What would I get if I win?"
"What do you want?"
"I'll tell you once I win the bet." Li Xiaolu smiled.
"So sure of your victory?"
Li Xiaolu nodded. Her lips curled up in a smile as she replied, "He might have been your best friend but now he's my husband. We are two bodies, one soul. So I know him better than you."
Long Xun chuckled. These were the very same words that he had said earlier to her. "We will see."
Meanwhile, Gao Yifeng and Meng Xuimin quietly sat next to Li Xiaolu like two obedient kids. They didn't understand what was going on but they could make out a little from their conversation.
"After this conversation, I am feeling a little hungry. Let's go and have lunch." Long Xun said as he got up.
Li Xiaolu, Gao Yifeng, and Meng Xuimin quietly followed behind him towards the dining table. Li Xiaolu noticed that there were no maids in the house and all of the worlds were done by the bodyguards. She glanced at Long Xun and quickly took her seat.
"Xiaolu, today I especially told my chef to prepare all of your favorite dishes." Long Xun informed as he personally served Li Xiaolu.
Li Xiaolu thanked him and they began to eat their lunch. During the lunch, nobody spoke but once the lunch was over a bodyguard cane forward and he kept a few things on the table.
