Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 116: I'll Let You Fly, I'll Carry the Pain!

This morning, Li Mubai was delayed for quite a long time with Yun Wuyue. When he woke up again, it was already nine o'clock.

After getting dressed and tidying up the room, Li Mubai turned off all the utilities.

From today onwards, Yun Wuyue, who has already figured things out, should temporarily stop coming to take care of his business.

At least until Yun Wuyue, Yun Lingxing, Lin Jiayin, and Lin Jiajia sit down together to discuss Li Mubai's ownership, this house will not be of any use.

As for the place where Yun Nan taught Li Mubai to exercise his mind and body... it must be Yun's villa!

Yesterday, on the way to Xu Shiwen with Yun Lingxing, Li Mubai asked and found out that since Yun Wuyue took over Yunyu Group and it flourished, Yun Wuyue and Yun Lingxing's parents have already traveled abroad.

So... going to Yun's villa to exercise his mind and body, isn't that great?

Coming downstairs to Room 601, after ordering takeout, Li Mubai took a shower.

Xiaotong arrived just in time.

After opening the access control, the room door was knocked on after two minutes.

"I'm here!"

Having already perfectly resolved Yun Wuyue's problem, Li Mubai was in a good mood and greeted Xiaotong with a smile.

Xiaotong looked at Li Mubai's smiling face and forced out a smile.

Li Mubai is really too naive...

He actually believed all along that she was specifically sent to deliver orders to him...

He even bought her a cup of milk tea yesterday!

The milk tea was brought by her, so it naturally didn't lose its heat.

Knowing that the cup of milk tea belonged to her, it warmed her heart even more...

Xiaotong couldn't remember the feelings she had when she held that cup of milk tea and went back.

She only knew that now, every time she delivers food to Li Mubai, it is extremely agonizing.

Especially when she sees Li Mubai's smile.

It's one thing to deceive him by delivering food, but Xiaotong always recalls the time when she monitored Li Mubai's phone messages...

She recorded every word Li Mubai070 said and every word he sent, and handed them over to Lin Jiayin.

Although she's not monitoring anymore now, and Li Mubai doesn't know about this...

18.5...

This kind of betrayal-like guilt makes her conscience uneasy!

Li Mubai pretended not to notice Xiaotong's change and looked at her with concern, asking, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well today?"

Xiaotong shook her head absentmindedly.

"Is it because you haven't eaten yet? I ordered quite a lot this morning. If you don't mind, why don't we eat together?"

Once again, Xiaotong hurriedly waved her hand, her face turning red, abruptly...

She bowed deeply to Li Mubai.

Li Mubai put the takeout aside and hurriedly tried to help Xiaotong up.

"What's going on..." Li Mubai was surprised.

Xiaotong hung her head, not daring to look into Li Mubai's clear eyes.

"I'm... I'm sorry, Mr. Mubai, but I'm afraid I can't deliver food to you anymore in the future!"

Li Mubai's heart skipped a beat.

How could this be?

Was he too impatient for success?

According to reason, it shouldn't be like this... Xiaotong should be devoted to him, become his exclusive informant, and slowly reveal information about Lin Jiayin to him...

However, the next second, a huge stone fell in Li Mubai's heart, and he heard Xiaotong's guilty and trembling voice.

"I... I'm sorry, actually... I've been lying to you all this time!"

Her acting skills were top-notch...

Li Mubai's hand trembled as he held Xiaotong's hand... as if he had already guessed something, but he still forced a smile.

"You... you're joking, right? You were just delivering food to me, how could you lie to me?"

Xiaotong felt even more guilty...

She took a deep breath, and two little people in her mind were fighting fiercely!

On one hand, there was loyalty to Lin Jiayin, and on the other hand, there was the torment of deceiving Li Mubai's heart.

As Lin Jiayin's personal bodyguard, it was her duty to protect everything about Lin Jiayin and keep all her secrets!

But...

What she was even more afraid of was that after Li Mubai discovered everything, he might dislike her, or even resent her!

One punch, one jio.

The two little people fought back and forth, and in the end, these two thoughts prevailed over all others.

As if deflating, Xiaotong's face was filled with regretful tears, and she said in a low voice, "I... I'm sorry, I've been lying to you all along..."

"Ding! Xiaotong's blessing to the host's luck +19, host's luck value +5, protagonist Ye Feng's luck value -3."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving an 800 yuan reward!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Xiaotong's blessing to the host has reached the maximum value of 100, achieving the achievement [Promise in the Mulberry Grove]! Protagonist Ye Feng's luck value is reduced by 100!"

【Appointment in the Mulberry Grove】: Xiaotong's blessing to the host's luck will no longer decrease, and by continuing to increase the blessing, they can gain experience points in the skill of 【Hacker】.

"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully unlocking the secondary card eight of the 【Chang'e Illustration】, Xiaotong, and obtaining the super god-level skill reward - 【I'll Let You Fly, I'll Bear the Pain】."

【I'll Let You Fly, I'll Bear the Pain】: The host can selectively block any one or more senses of the gods/body at any time and under any conditions without any restrictions, 100% painless and injury-free!

Feeling extremely pleased, Li Mubai's god-level acting skills did not falter in the slightest.

Li Mubai took a step back, maintaining a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, and asked, "What did you deceive me about?"

"Well... actually... I am Mr. Lin's personal bodyguard. I have been responsible for monitoring certain aspects before. The advertisement email in your mailbox last time actually contained a plugin that I created. Originally, Mr. Lin only wanted to provide convenience in your daily life, but... your feelings for Mr. Yun made Mr. Lin afraid of losing you, so... I secretly monitored your phone and unintentionally revealed your information to Mr. Lin."

Li Mubai was slightly stunned.

At this point...

Xiaotong unexpectedly defended Lin Jiayin and took full responsibility for this matter.

But... it was enough.

After all, besides her parents, Lin Jiayin was Xiaotong's weakness (bdda).

Making this matter clear today was already a great betrayal to Lin Jiayin, and in a sense, Xiaotong had betrayed her parents as well.

And this was just to be honest in front of him.

With god-level acting skills, Li Mubai took deep breaths, staring at Xiaotong in disbelief.

"You... you... have been monitoring my private life all along? So there was no delivery, it was all... sent by Lin... Jiayin?"

Xiaotong's face turned pale, and she explained in a trembling voice, "It was Mr. Lin who was worried about you living alone... that your meals were unhealthy, so... he came up with this plan. Also... I haven't been monitoring you anymore. That day when you were kidnapped, I revealed your information to Mr. Lin, but the next day when you... went to the hospital, Mr. Lin ordered me to stop monitoring..."

...

A long silence.

Finally...

"Get out!"

Li Mubai pretended as if he couldn't control his emotions anymore and shouted sternly.

Xiaotong felt as if she had been struck hard, and her whole body trembled slightly. Then, she turned around slowly and left step by step.

After waiting for about thirty seconds.

Li Mubai took a deep breath, locked the door, and hurriedly went to the window to watch Xiaotong leave in a daze before closing his eyes and sitting back on the sofa.

Indeed... plans can never keep up with changes.

Xiaotong was willing to do anything to preserve Lin Jiayin's image in Li Mubai's heart, which Li Mubai hadn't expected.

Originally, according to his plan, Xiaotong would gradually feel self-blame and develop feelings for him.

Then, he would slowly extract information about Lin Jiayin from Xiaotong.

Who could have expected that Xiaotong would directly expose herself.

In order to maximize his own interests, Li Mubai had no choice but to do this.

After all, by doing so, Xiaotong would immediately go back and inform Lin Jiayin.

Lin Jiayin immediately began to analyze the reason behind Li Mubai's intense emotions.

After all, Li Mubai never used foul language before, and he was always very gentle with people. Moreover, their relationship had been quite good these past two days...

The reason for his intense emotions must naturally be because...

Li Mubai did not truly reconcile with her, Lin Jiayin. All the intimacy they shared in bed these past few days was just an illusion!

This outburst was just Li Mubai's inability to continue the act and his emotions being released.

Li Mubai had been accumulating disappointment these past few days, and suddenly it increased by 99.

Once enough disappointment had accumulated, it was time for true "revenge."

How could forgiveness be so easy? Lin Jiayin was involved with both Yun Wuyue and Li Mubai!

Both of them!

As for Xiaotong's feelings, Li Mubai no longer cared. Even if Xiaotong cried her heart out in front of Li Mubai, he only had one choice - to remain unmoved!

When the Crystal Palace was established in the future without any worries, then he could relax.

However, Lin Jiayin had finally made arrangements as well. Originally, Li Mubai thought that the two of them could still enjoy each other's company tonight...

Li Mubai reluctantly glanced at the room.

This room couldn't be used for the time being.

And...

The billions of dollars he received from Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin were now locked away in his account.

Most importantly...the food delivery app was gone.

He had to bid farewell to the five-star breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This was the most tragic.

Although Li Mubai had god-level cooking skills, who would want to cook when they could eat for free?

Li Mubai sighed and picked up his chopsticks, placing the takeout Xiaotong had just brought on the table.

He enjoyed his last five-star breakfast.

Starting tomorrow, he would have to cook for himself or buy food outside.

But...sacrifices were necessary for the peaceful establishment of the Crystal Palace.

As the scumbag master, the king of green tea, he still had some awareness!

Next...

Just quietly wait for "I Am a Singer" to start, and deeply pierce Xu Shiwen's heart. As for others, it's better not to provoke them.
