Li Yan’s smile became even more unnatural, but he still praised, “My wife is indeed the best. I’m so proud to have a wife like her.

In the past, Zhou Tian would have thought that Li Yan loved Zhou Xiaorou very much, but with Xia Wan’s reminder, he was constantly observing Li Yan’s expression, so he could tell that Li Yan’s praise for Zhou Xiaorou was only surface deep. If anything, there was more unwillingness in his eyes.

Zhou Tian could not help but sigh emotionally. He had been accepting Li Yan’s existence all these years, so he had neglected many things. Perhaps Li Yan had disguised himself well, but it was also because he had also trusted Li Yan too much.

At this moment, Zhou Tian had mixed feelings. He really hoped that Li Yan would not do anything that would make Xiaorou sad.

After saying what he needed to say, Zhou Tian left the clothes behind and left. That afternoon, Luo Xin and Li Yan took advantage of the time when Zhou Xiaorou and the child were asleep and conspired in the kitchen.

Luo Xin fanned the flames beside Li Yan. “Sir, you’ve worked hard at the unit for two years to get this opportunity to be promoted, but Sis Xiaorou just went through the motions and got to your current position. How ironic is that?

“Sir, everyone can see your ability. Do you have to go through so much trouble to get promoted, just because you don’t have a back door like Sis Xiaorou? Plus, her direct promotion is a huge blow to the new employees.”

Li Yan’s expression was very cold, and his words were full of dissatisfaction. “Do you think such thoughts never crossed my mind? But what can I do about it? Even my leader has no opinion. What do you want me to say?”

Luo Xin was very satisfied with Li Yan’s current att.i.tude. She turned to him and said, “If Sister Xiaorou is in poor health, then she naturally can’t work at the company. If that happens, you won’t feel awkward. Moreover, she still needs you to take care of her. She’s still a useless person.

Li Yan frowned slightly after hearing her words. I want her to collapse as soon as possible, but Dad and Rou both trust Xia Wan. Now, we have to taste all the food and drink before giving her anything. If we poison her, we’d be hurt too.”

Luo Xing was a scheming girl. After hearing this, she said, “It’s okay, Sir. In order to help you, it’s okay for me to be wronged a little. I asked that person in advance. Even if the dosage is a little heavy, I would only be weakened temporarily. However, if Sis Xiaorou and I take it at the same time, she would be very ill.

“She’ll be sent directly to the hospital. She might even die.

“No matter the outcome, the people in the hospital won’t be able to find out. If Sis Xiaorou dies, Sir, you can show your loyalty to her, and we can put on a show together. Zhou Tian will definitely think that you have deep feelings for her, and I will also treat her as my real sister.

“If you’re thinking about a new wife, I’m sure Mr. Zhou worries that she’d mistreat the child. So, when the time comes, all we need to do is reveal our relationship a little, and Zhou Tian will definitely hope that we can get married.”

Li Yan understood what Luo Xin meant. He had no objections to Luo Xin’s previous suggestion of drugging Zhou Xiaorou. He even felt that Luo Xin’s willingness to sacrifice herself was a n.o.ble act.

However, Li Yan did not agree with Luo Xin’s suggestion.

If Zhou Xiaorou died, his wife could be many people. It didn’t necessarily have to be Luo Xin. Luo Xin was poorly educated, and she did not have much knowledge. She could make good as a lover for fun, but if he were to consider her his wife, then she was completely unqualified.

But now, Li Yan still needed Luo Xin’s cooperation to set up this trap, so he hugged Luo Xin in his arms and said affectionately, “It’s a blessing to have met you in this life. I’ll have to trouble you with this matter. After it’s done, we’ll follow your plan. Don’t worry. I’ll make it up to you.”

After hearing his words, Luo Xin’s eyes were filled with satisfaction and grat.i.tude. After enduring for so long, she was finally about to get what she wanted.

“Sir, I’m willing to do anything as long as I can be with you. Don’t worry, Sir. I’ll treat your child well. I’ll treat her like my own..”
