Chapter 1046 - 1048: Xiang Yun’s Grand Wedding (5)
Boss Ma felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over his head upon hearing that, sending a chill down his spine. Previously, when he boasted to her about how much money he could earn and how capable he was by sharing the affairs of the inn, he never imagined that it would backfire and become a vulnerable spot she could tightly grasp!
Seeing Boss Ma’s defeated demeanor, Lady Bai reverted to her act of an innocent white lotus and delicately said, "Old Master, I have borne you a son already. Let’s not dwell on matters that don’t concern us. Lady Mo is old and lacks charm, unable to serve you well. Why would you still think of her? Would it not be wonderful for the three of us to live a good life together?"
Of course, it wouldn’t!
If Lady Bai hadn’t threatened him, Boss Ma might still feel a bit guilty towards her, but after hearing those words from her, all he felt was disgust and hatred. Living with such a scheming, sinister viper beside his pillow made it impossible for him to settle down and live peacefully with her!
However, as much as he despised her, he really didn’t dare challenge her. If she were to disclose his misdeeds of embezzling for personal gain, his career as the big shopkeeper would be over. Things could even escalate to legal proceedings!
Boss Ma had no choice but to remain quiet and dare not bring up divorcing his wife again, yet while he appeared calm, his mind itched annoyingly like a cat’s scratch. Lady Mo’s indifferent and efficient demeanor always loomed in his mind. She had been his wife for over ten years, yet he had never enjoyed such an allure from her, leaving him helpless and deeply frustrated!
This restless and agitated state continued for several days, and in a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of July. In two more days, it would be the grand wedding day of the daughter of the Marquis of Jian’an and the young master from the Second room of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. Jufude had already accepted Duke Li Guo Mansion’s order to prepare the banquet on the eighth day.
