My gorgeous wife

```

After a sleepless night, Li Chen was very restless. Why did the Ghost King appear at the base but also in Huaxia at the same time? Could the Ghost King that fought with Alice have been a fake?

Because Alice had said that her opponent was masked.

However, it seemed unlikely. How could Alice possibly mistake someone else for the Ghost King? And they had even clashed. With Alice's abilities, it wasn't possible that she'd assert something like that without being certain.

So... the Ghost King that fought with him was a fake?

That was even less likely. Could someone's appearance change? And then there was the Ghost King's speed, which was unmatched in the world. The one he fought with was definitely the real one.

But... Something seemed off, and Li Chen suddenly couldn't find his train of thought.

Playing with the dagger in his hand, Li Chen's face showed a contemplative expression.

Suddenly, he noticed a trace of blood still on the dagger.

This bloodstain belonged to the Ghost King, whom Li Chen had killed with a direct stab.

"No... no, did I really kill the Ghost King with just one stab?"

Li Chen suddenly realized the crux of the problem.

He didn't deny that, in his prime, he could kill the Ghost King in a second. Even under the circumstances of the previous day, catching the Ghost King by surprise and killing him was within reason.

But was the Ghost King such a foolish person?

Shouzi Shenglang might not be aware of his own strength, but could the Ghost King also be oblivious? After following him for eight years, with the cunning of the Ghost King, it was impossible that he didn't understand Li Chen's capabilities.

Despite this, he still dared to pretend in front of him? And he even took the initiative to try to kill him?

The character of the Ghost King was something Li Chen understood very well. He was someone who preferred to bide his time, a schemer. The last thing he liked was to put himself in danger.

The Ghost King he killed didn't seem to understand him at all and charged at him, which was precisely why Li Chen was able to kill him outright.

Not knowing how formidable one's opponent is, one could die without even knowing how it happened.

Clearly, the Ghost King had made such a mistake.

There was a problem; the Ghost King he killed was definitely problematic!

Li Chen finally understood the key to the situation, though he was still somewhat unclear about the reasons.

Just then, it became morning, and there was movement in Lin Yi's room.

After freshening up, Li Chen had just stepped out the door when he saw Lin Yi was also coming out.

Lin Yi had just woken up. Though she had freshened up, her face still carried a touch of laziness. Without any makeup and dressed in cartoon pajamas, she wore a pair of cotton slippers on her feet.

Startled by a man staring at her, Lin Yi's heart fluttered for a moment, but she quickly remembered... It seemed that she and this man had just registered their marriage yesterday?

If Li Chen knew what Lin Yi was thinking at that moment, he would have been even more frustrated because Lin Yi had actually forgotten him... forgotten him.

After all, they had registered their marriage, and it was extraordinarily careless of Lin Yi to have forgotten about him.

"Hey, wife, you're up?"

Li Chen didn't know these thoughts and wanted to tease Lin Yi upon seeing her.

Wife... wife?

The moment she heard this word, Lin Yi shivered.

Then she frowned and gave Li Chen a frosty look.

"From now on... I don't want to hear those two words!"

"So what should I call you in the future? Actually, I also feel that the word 'wife' doesn't quite express the feelings between us. How about I call you Little Yiyi from now on, is that okay?"

Li Chen continued with an innocuous smile.

"You... you're not allowed to call me that either!"

```

Lin Yi felt like he was going insane, ever since the first sight of Li Chen, his mood had never been good. And… wasn't this man shamelessly thick-skinned? He had just shown his disdain for him, couldn't he see that?

"Then what should I call you? 'Wife' won't do, 'Little Yiyi' also won't do, should I call you 'dear'? Or maybe 'Little Darling'..."

With every word Li Chen spoke, Lin Yi felt a pile of goose bumps rising. Did this man have no shame at all, saying such things? Had he forgotten that they were merely in a contract marriage?

Turn his head, and walk away straight away!

Lin Yi had realized that this man was beyond reason. You shouldn't talk to him, the more you talked the angrier you got.

"Hey, 'Wife'... 'Little Yiyi'... 'Dear'... 'Little Darling'... don't leave, let's have a proper talk..."

Li Chen was shouting from behind, and in the end, Lin Yi simply plugged his ears.

...

Downstairs, Aunt Wang had already prepared breakfast, and Lin Yi started to eat as soon as he arrived.

Lin Yi didn't eat very quickly, he ate at a moderate pace, but he looked truly beautiful while eating, without any trace of artifice, presumably he would be like this at home too.

Li Chen didn't stand on ceremony and sat down right next to Lin Yi.

It was obvious that Lin Yi's body shifted to the side a bit, but he didn't say anything.

Li Chen ignored this, he was really hungry, and when he saw the food on the table, he started to wolf it down.

In an instant, Li Chen felt as if he was the only person in the world, along with the heap of food in front of him.

"Hmm... What is this thing, why is it so squishy?"

Li Chen subconsciously grabbed something, about to put it to his mouth when he realized something was wrong.

Around him, there seemed to be killing intent.

Another look at the thing in his hand...

Not good, he had grabbed Lin Yi's little hand.

"Ahem… I mean… I ate too quickly just now, I'm going to step out for a walk."

After that, Li Chen ran out of the villa without looking back.

If he didn't leave now, Lin Yi's gaze could have killed him on the spot.

In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to leave the villa. As for Lin Yi, he couldn't say he felt anything in particular, yesterday was interesting, so he just went along with the other. As for now... he was confused whether to play dumb and follow Lin Yi in the upcoming life, or to leave after the three months were up.

Seeing Li Chen running out, Lin Yi immediately pouted. The reason she was so indulgent towards Li Chen was that the incident yesterday had indeed left a deep impression on her.

Li Chen was saving her, she was very clear on that, and that was enough.

The two were destined not to be people from the same world, so why should she be so harsh? Being nicer to him, at least...

...

After Li Chen left, he walked around the villa and realized that rich people really knew how to enjoy life. He could be considered well-off too, but he wouldn't go buy such a luxurious villa.

The villa Lin Yi had bought was nestled against mountains and near water, with a small river running around it. Life here would be as enjoyable as it could get.

But just as he reached the riverbank, a figure appeared before him.

"Hey, is that not the Qilin Princess? Tsk tsk, I must have seen wrong last night, didn't expect you to have such substance!"

Seeing her, Li Chen teased her with a comment.

When the Qilin Princess heard this, no unusual expression appeared on her face, she just said coldly, "Ouyang Wan'er is already here, I'll take you to meet her."

"Let's meet then, putting on a sour face, you women are all the same! One at home, and now another one here!"

Of course, these were Li Chen's inside thoughts. As for Ouyang Wan'er, his desire to meet her was urgent, but he didn't know if the girl still remembered him or not.
