28: The way she looks at our husband is almost tearing

Lu Ming openly admitted his concerns.

Zhao Li fell silent.

She was already very familiar with Lu Ming's information.

For most one-star life-type superhumans, becoming a part of the Night Watch Division was a huge leap, not an exaggeration.

However, upon hearing the news, he wasn't overly excited; instead, his first thought was the safety of his two wives.

She had seen many scumbags who abandoned their partners after gaining power.

A man as loyal and righteous as him, Zhao Li had never encountered before.

Coupled with her fondness for the Twin Sisters, Xu Youyou and Xu Lulu, she immediately patted her chest and agreed.

She suppressed her embarrassment and called her aunt to explain the situation.

Just as Zhao Li expected, that woman, Director Zhao, didn't care about such a small matter and was only focused on teasing her.

The voice on the phone was a bit lazy, mixed with a charming giggle: "Oh, so our Sister Li has finally matured? She's bringing that man home?"

Zhao Li's pretty face instantly flushed red.

"Auntie! What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhao Li's voice suddenly rose, "He's bringing his family! He has two wives!"

"Wow! A married man, good for you, Sister Li!"

Zhao Qingge's laughter grew more ambiguous, the end of her words drawn out long, like a feather tickling one's heart: "Is that Lu Ming really that fierce? You three..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Zhao Li decisively hung up the phone.

That woman was indeed getting old, her mouth full of suggestive remarks.

If she let her continue, the conversation would go completely off track.

Zhao Li secretly glanced at Lu Ming's family, finding them all busy with their own things, no one paying attention to her; only then did she secretly sigh in relief.

If they had heard what was just said, she feared she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Little did she know, her every move was within Lu Ming's spiritual perception.

He didn't expect the mysterious Director Zhao to be a woman, and such an unreliable one at that.

Lu Ming's mouth twitched, and he could only pretend not to know anything, tidying up his luggage... The Inner City and Outer City of Jiangcheng were separated by a four to five-meter-wide moat.

Crossing the bridge, they officially entered the Inner City.

What was called the Inner City, in Lu Ming's opinion, was merely equivalent to a small, eighteenth-tier city from his previous life.

By the time they arrived at Zhao Li's residence, dusk was approaching.

But things once again exceeded Lu Ming's expectations.

The Zhao Residence he imagined was merely a two-story detached villa built into the mountain.

Garden, swimming pool, bar... fully equipped.

It was many times better than his previous doghouse.

But, how could the dignified Director of the Night Watch Division live in such a small villa?

Shouldn't it be a grand estate covering dozens of acres, with more servants than weeds?

No wonder Zhao Li's expression was so strange earlier.

What was the difference between this and cohabitation?

However, since they were already here, with no rent to pay and a powerful bodyguard, there was nothing unacceptable about it.

Zhao Li chose a bedroom on the first floor and then called Xu Youyou and Xu Lulu to tidy up their belongings.

Watching Zhao Li busy herself.

Xu Lulu secretly tugged her sister's sleeve and whispered in her ear: "Sister, is Husband interested in Sister Li?"

Xu Youyou was startled by the question, then gently patted Lulu's hand and whispered: "Don't overthink it."

Despite her words, a ripple still stirred in her heart.

As Lu Ming gradually rose, her mindset had undergone quite a few changes.

In terms of daily life, she and her sister could still rely on Lu Ming for some care.

But in terms of career, the two sisters had become a complete burden to Lu Ming.

Fortunately, he hadn't abandoned them because of this.

And Zhao Li was both beautiful and capable, and her aunt was the Director of the Night Watch Division; if Husband could marry her, he would surely gain a great ally.

The more Xu Youyou thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

She was about to caution Xu Lulu not to be needlessly jealous.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lulu stared at Zhao Li's profile and chuckled: "Sister, Sister Li always has such a cool, serious little face; I really want to see how she looks when Husband teases her, hehe..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Youyou's cheeks instantly flushed, and she lightly pinched Lulu's arm, lowering her voice to chide: "You girl, what nonsense are you saying!"

Xu Lulu flinched from the pinch but still couldn't help winking at her sister, a mischievous smile on her lips.

She just found Zhao Li's serious demeanor very amusing.

"Sister, don't you want to find a helper? I've seen you faint several times..."

Before Xu Lulu could finish, Xu Youyou clapped a hand over her mouth.

Xu Youyou's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and her eyes darted around nervously, afraid Zhao Li might have heard.

"Keep your voice down!" Xu Youyou whispered, chiding in Lulu's ear, "Such matters require mutual affection; it's not something we can decide."

Xu Lulu blinked her big eyes and whispered: "But I feel like Sister Li isn't without feelings for Husband either; the way she looks at our Husband, her eyes are practically pulling threads..."

Clang.

The bucket in Zhao Li's hand fell to the ground.

"Sorry, I have something else to do; you'll have to tidy the room yourselves."

Watching her fleeing figure.

The Twin Sisters exchanged glances, a hint of mischievousness in their smiles.

The seed had been planted; it was just a matter of when it would blossom and bear fruit... Zhao Li remained somewhat distracted even during dinner.

"Her eyes are practically pulling threads when she looks at our Husband!"

Xu Lulu's teasing words kept replaying in her mind.

Was it really that obvious?

She had to admit, she did have some good feelings for Lu Ming.

The story of a hero saving a beauty, though clichéd, was incredibly impactful.

That day in the hospital basement, Lu Ming's figure, like a war god descending, was firmly etched in her mind.

Whenever she thought of it at night, Zhao Li's heart still secretly fluttered with joy.

But the thought that he was already a husband made her feel incomparably tormented.

Yet now, his two wives didn't seem to reject me?

Zhao Li's gaze, however, would occasionally drift towards Lu Ming, then quickly move away, landing on the rice in her bowl.

Her mind was a bit chaotic.

Is this... love?

Meanwhile, Xu Youyou and Xu Lulu, the instigators of all this, couldn't hide the amusement in their eyes when they saw her reaction.

Only Lu Ming felt somewhat bewildered.

However, after spending this time together, he also understood that this aloof older sister, despite her cool and distant face, was merely cold on the outside and warm on the inside.

He put down his chopsticks, glanced at the clock on the wall, and softly said: "It's getting late, Youyou, Lulu, we still have to cultivate later."

Xu Youyou and Xu Lulu's faces instantly turned crimson.

Zhao Li, unaware of the implications, was filled with awe.

Was this why Lu Ming could stand out?

He was truly too diligent! What he lacked in talent, he made up for with effort!
