Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1029: Did You Get the Flowers?

Ouyang Qian is planning to elope to the United States with someone?

Lai Wenyan’s first reaction was that it was absurd, unbelievable.

If you were to say some young guy is hanging onto Ouyang Qian trying to leech off her, Lai Wenyan might believe it a bit, for instance, the shameless driver in their family, Xiao Liang.

But those executives from Tianyi, if not fifty, are at least forty. Not only do they have worrying hair loss, but their beer bellies could pop off their belt buckles. Ouyang Qian has always been focused on self-care. How could someone who cares so much about her external condition fancy that group of bald, fat, greasy men?

Lai Wenyan still had confidence in this aspect.

However, Tang Li’s next words gave him a resounding slap in the face.

"Because the door was closed, Aunt Qian’s voice got quieter later, I couldn’t hear very clearly. It seemed like she mentioned something about ’a silver-like wax gun tip,’ referring to that executive. It seems Aunt Qian had no such intention, it’s just that the other party was overly eager but incompetent."

Tang Li’s later words went entirely unheard by Lai Wenyan.

In his mind, only the phrase ’a silver-like wax gun tip’ kept flashing.

These five words question a man’s capability and trample on a man’s dignity!

You know, once someone mentions ’a silver-like wax gun tip,’ others instinctively follow up with: ’nice to look at but useless’!

Was Ouyang Qian really talking about that executive?

He highly doubts it!

Holding onto his cellphone, Lai Wenyan felt a fire burning in his heart. He wanted to lash out, but couldn’t.

Though others didn’t know, he understood his physical condition, and as the initiator, Ouyang Qian was naturally aware as well.

These days, what masculinity does he have left to speak of?

According to the attending doctor’s statement, it had to recover gradually on its own.

Bullshit ’gradually’!

If it goes any slower, he’d be in a coffin!

Is it meant to be used in the afterlife?

It was an unspeakable pain in his heart that Ouyang Qian’s phrase ’a silver-like wax gun tip’ only added mockery and disdain to.

She even described him like that in front of their daughter, leaving him utterly humiliated!

News about impotent husbands having unfaithful wives is not uncommon in society.

Some women, even though their husbands are handsome, have affairs with people who look like butchers.

Lai Wenyan never expected such a situation to happen to him. Recalling Ouyang Qian’s changes in recent days, her sarcastic attitude and cold eyes when he couldn’t gather a hundred million, it was clear she no longer planned to make a good life with him.

Even the strongest marriage can’t withstand suspicion and doubt.

Moreover, Ouyang Qian had a record.

At the thought of Tripterygium wilfordii Polysaccharide Tablets, Lai Wenyan felt stifled, unable to vent his frustration. If Ouyang Qian really got involved with a company executive, these nights he wasn’t home, didn’t it open a door of convenience for them?!

Master bedroom.

On the chaise lounge, a laptop’s screen was lit.

The page displayed information on booking a flight ticket.

Ouyang Qian held a phone in her right hand, her left arm crossed in front of her as she talked with a travel agency.

"Don’t you have internal channels for booking tickets? I just need three first-class tickets to Vancouver tomorrow night. If first-class isn’t available, business or economy class will do."

"..."

"If it weren’t urgent, I wouldn’t be asking you."

Since deciding to leave tomorrow, Ouyang Qian was determined to get the tickets.

"If there’s no direct flight, a connecting one will do." After returning to the room, the more Ouyang Qian thought about it, the more she felt her daughter’s words made sense. Some matters are better dealt with early rather than late. Since Lai Wenyan couldn’t gather that one hundred million, who knows what might happen. Plus, with the online complaints, once an investigation begins, she and her daughter might get implicated, and by then, they wouldn’t be able to leave even if they wanted to.

The urgent task is to leave the capital, leave S country.

"There’s a flight to Siam’s Taipo the day after tomorrow at 2 AM." The travel agent’s voice came through the receiver, mixed with the sound of typing: "It lands there around 7 AM local time, just in time to catch a 9 AM flight from Napu International Airport to Vancouver."

"Book those two flights then."

Ouyang Qian made the decision: "I’ll transfer the money to you on WeChat."

After hanging up the phone and turning around, Ouyang Qian saw Lai Wenyan by the door.

The door she closed tightly with her back was somehow opened without a sound.

It was highly likely that Lai Wenyan overheard her phone conversation.

Realizing this, Ouyang Qian couldn’t help but clench her cellphone.

However, recalling that she only mentioned the flights and didn’t say it was she and her daughter going abroad, Ouyang Qian quickly calmed down. She turned to close the laptop, ready to take a bath.

Lai Wenyan had come upstairs to check if Ouyang Qian had called any man.

But the moment he opened the door, he heard: ’If there’s no direct flight, a connecting one will do.’

Direct flight, connecting flight, such terms apply only when you’re taking a plane.

Moreover, Ouyang Qian’s tone was quite urgent.

At this time, while he was busy with his councilman candidacy, Ouyang Qian, as his wife, ought to be supporting him both in and out of the family. It had always been the case in previous years. But now, she was hurriedly booking tickets to go abroad.

And from the implication of her words, she wasn’t going alone on this trip!

If, when he got out of the car, he still suspected Tang Li of driving a wedge between them, by now, he was fully convinced of Tang Li’s words about ’heading to the United States to build a love nest’!

After placing the laptop into the dressing table drawer, Lai Wenyan also entered the bedroom and sat on the bed, speaking: "After this election, I’m planning for our family to go on a holiday; Yuanyuan likes skiing, so let’s go to Norway."

These words received no response.

Lai Wenyan continued: "I came up to get your and Yuanyuan’s passports, I’ll give them to Jiang Yuan later, to let him book the tickets and hotels."

With a derisive smile, Ouyang Qian didn’t buy it and headed into the walk-in closet.

When she came out again, she found Lai Wenyan rummaging through the dressing table.

Ouyang Qian immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Lai Wenyan, what are you doing!"

"Where’s your passport?" Ouyang Qian’s several certificates had always been placed in the dressing table drawer, now they were missing!

"I need to go abroad for business next month, I left them at the company."

In the past, Lai Wenyan naturally wouldn’t have doubted this, but now the disappearance of the passport became another solid proof of Ouyang Qian’s infidelity!

Looking at his wife pretending to be composed, the smile on Lai Wenyan’s face faded away, leaving only a shadow of gloom: "Business trip? Or is it to go to the United States with that scumbag Yang Guozhu, being a sensational adulterous couple?!"

Ouyang Qian was incredulous: "Lai Wenyan, stop your nonsense!"

"Not Yang Guozhu? Then it’s Wang Congliang."

"..."

The commotion in the master bedroom was faintly heard by Tang Li in her room.

Right now, it clearly hasn’t reached a fever pitch yet.

Thinking Ji Ming should be back at Tan Palace, she sent a message to Song Baiyan to inquire.

[Did you receive the flowers?]

Meanwhile, at the Tan Palace, on the first floor in the President’s Office, Song Baiyan looked at the purple bouquet Ji Ming handed to him, turned it over in his hands, and recognized it as the twiggy bush commonly used as pig feed in rural areas.

"Madam suggested you brew tea with the roots of this flower."
