After Divorcing, She Shocked the World

Chapter 149 - Tent In The Courtyard



"Wu Mei, don't think about using those dogma and principles to scare me! I came to the Li family to carry out a mission…"

"When carrying out a personal protection mission, I should have the person I'm protecting within my sight round the clock. Otherwise, will you be able to shoulder the responsibility if an accident or danger occurs?" Feng Yue questioned her eloquently.

Wu Mei couldn't be bothered to argue with her. She languidly leaned against the sliding door and said, "I can."

When she saw Feng Yue's shocked expression, Wu Mei nodded and said lightly, "I can be responsible!"

"The mission regarding the overseas organization assassinating Li Nanchen was personally assigned to me by the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense. I was personally appointed by Li Nanchen to carry out the mission!"

"Your mission in City B is to be on guard against the assassins of the Viper Organization overseas and go along with my plan…"

"I didn't pursue the fact that your rash visit to the Li Family's villa would increase the risk of exposure to the plan. Yet you're making a fuss about personal protection? Feng Yue, don't you think you're being ridiculous?"

After Wu Mei said that, a gust of wind blew past. Her hair fluttered in the wind, revealing the hickeys and traces of love-making on her neck.

Feng Yue immediately pointed at her and deliberately shouted in a voice that everyone could hear, "You hooked up with Li Nanchen yourself, yet you're wary of having others get close to him. Don't think that no one can tell that you have nasty intentions!"

"You relied on sleeping with a man to get into the Ministry of Defense to be a Special Agent. Do you really think you're capable?"

Fuming with anger, Feng Yue wanted to let everyone in the Li Family's villa see Wu Mei's true colors. However, the butler and maid stared at her as if they were looking at an idiot, their faces filled with confusion. Wu Mei's head hurt from all the shouting and she simply admitted, "That's right."

"I'm with Li Nanchen, but I don't need to be wary of you…"

"Because you are not even qualified to tickle Li Nanchen's fancy. You're no threat to me at all. Why should I lower myself to compare myself with you?" Wu Mei said mockingly. Feng Yue gritted her teeth in hatred and immediately threw the tent on the ground, preparing to fight her.

The butler and maid saw her actions and wanted to ask Li Nanchen to come over and take a look. However, Wu Mei gently shook her head to signal to them not to worry.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became tense. Feng Yue was about to throw a punch when she caught sight of Li Nanchen appearing at the sliding door. She recalled that she wanted to imitate Li Nanchen's gentle and obedient ex-wife to gain his favor and attention. She immediately stopped what she was doing and tidied her black hair.

Wu Mei was stunned. Seeing her 180-degree change in attitude, she turned around and saw Li Nanchen's dark expression and felt amused.

Feng Yue took the initiative to run to Li Nanchen's side. Seeing that the bandage around his waist was bleeding, her eyes were filled with anxiety as she asked, "President Li, is your body alright? Do you need me to help treat it?"

"It's so cold outside and your injuries haven't recovered yet. Try not to come out and be caught in the wind, or else…"

Li Nanchen lowered his head and coldly glanced at her. Then, he pushed Feng Yue, who was blocking his way, aside and walked straight to Wu Mei's side. He hugged her in his arms and said in a low voice, "Shall we go back and continue what we were doing just now?"

Looking at his aggrieved and pitiful expression, Wu Mei recalled the two stray golden retriever dogs she had met by the side of the road. They looked somewhat similar to Li Nanchen.

Pointing at Feng Yue, she said, "Stop fooling around. I still have to arrange for the Special Agent sent by the Ministry of Defense to stay here. Otherwise, if she lodges a complaint with the higher-ups, I will face demotion and punishment."

Wu Mei deliberately imitated Feng Yue's tone as a smile flashed across her eyes.

Li Nanchen lifted his eyes impatiently to glare at Feng Yue. Feng Yue's body froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "President Li, I was assigned to protect you. Do you think I should stay in the room next to yours? That will be more…"

Wu Mei was somewhat in admiration of Feng Yue's stubborn and never discouraged character. When she met Li Nanchen's gaze, she raised her hand to wipe off the traces of lipstick on his thin lips. "She's asking you…"

Li Nanchen held Wu Mei's slender fingers and looked at Feng Yue coldly as he said, "All matters in the villa are arranged by Wu Mei."

"Wherever she asks you to stay is a direct representation of my attitude and decision."
