Mistakenly believing her whirlwind marriage husband's WeChat account was an AI-powered online d

No matter how you look at it, it's the same character.

Echo: [What does this sentence mean?]

Unbelievable! [Baby, my face mask is timed out. I'm going to do some skincare, I'll let you know when I'm done~]

Echo: [Okay, I'll wait for you.]

Wen Li hummed a song as she jumped out of bed, peeled off the face mask, poured the remaining essence from the mask packet onto her face, and gently patted it in.

Bo Yuchuan returned to his hotel suite, drank a cup of hangover tea, and leaned back on the sofa to rest with his eyes closed.

He opened his eyes as soon as his phone rang.

My wife sent me a voice message.

"Baby, you're so good. I'll love you forever, mua~"

A soft, sweet voice entered his ears, as if a girl were nestled in his ear, intimately embracing him and acting coquettishly.

Bo Yuchuan's throat tightened, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

He inexplicably clicked on the voice message and listened to it over and over again.

He was probably too drunk.

He could even hear his own heavy heartbeat echoing in the silent room.

……

That night, Bo Yuchuan had a rare dream.

He dreamed of his and Wen Li's child, a soft, pinkish-white dumpling with two little pigtails, its doe-like eyes blinking, so cute it melted anyone's heart.

When he woke up, the sound of the baby calling "Daddy" from his dream was still echoing in his mind.

Grandma called at noon.

"How are things between you and Xiaoli? My eyelids keep twitching, and I keep feeling like you're hiding something from me."

"We've been getting along very well lately, so you don't need to worry about it." Bo Yuchuan fastened his tie, his tone unusually cheerful.

"How could I not worry? Xiao Li went abroad with you all by herself, and she's unfamiliar with the place. I'm just afraid you won't be able to take good care of her. You should remember to spend more time with her. It's okay if you work a day or two later."

Bo Yuchuan paused in his action of fastening his watch, his expression changing slightly.

"What did you say?"

Wen Li came abroad with him? How come he didn't know?

"Once you're done with things overseas, you should bring Xiaoli back as soon as possible. I really miss her after not seeing her for so long." Old Madam Bo sighed. "That girl is too sensible. She's afraid I'll scold you on the phone, so she won't let me mention her to you."

Bo Yuchuan belatedly realized this.

His young wife seemed to be hiding something from him.

To avoid worrying his grandmother, Bo Yuchuan didn't expose her words.

After making the call, he asked his assistant to investigate where Wen Li was currently living.

"Mr. Bo, your wife has rented a one-bedroom apartment near the company and is currently living alone."

Bo Yuchuan frowned. "She doesn't live in Yunhai Bay?"

This is their marital home, although they have never lived together.

"No, I asked the maid at home, and the lady moved out of Yunhai Bay the day after you left the country. She told the maid and the old lady that she had already bought a plane ticket and was preparing to go abroad to find you."

In order to move out of Yunhai Bay, she actually used such a reason to lie to her grandmother.

Immediately afterwards, a sense of relief welled up in Bo Yuchuan's heart.

Fortunately, she stayed in China instead of actually coming to see him, but they didn't meet.

That way, at least we don't have to worry about her safety.

"You can go out now."

After his assistant left, Bo Yuchuan walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and dialed his wife's number.

……

Wen Li was slacking off in the restroom when her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number calling.

She walked to the end of the corridor and answered the phone. "Hey? Who is it?"

Bo Yuchuan glanced at the "Wife" contact name on his phone, his eyes narrowing slightly.

She didn't save his contact name?

"It's me," Bo Yuchuan's clear, deep voice came through the receiver, "Bo Yuchuan."

Wen Li's eyes widened in shock, and she almost dropped her phone.

Her mind nearly went blank, and she stammered, "Mr. Bo, why did you suddenly call me?"

Bo Yuchuan was taken aback.

After chatting so much on WeChat, he really didn't expect her to address him so formally.

Doesn't she usually like to call him "husband"?

She practically uses the word "husband" like a comma, so why doesn't she say it when she calls?

Bo Yuchuan loosened his tie with one hand. "Grandma called to tell me you came abroad to see me. When did that happen?"

The sky has fallen!

Didn't she tell her grandma not to mention her in front of Mr. Bo? How did she still manage to slip up?!

Wen Li's face flushed with nervousness, and she didn't know what to do with her hands.

She rubbed her face, trying to stay calm. "Um, I... I've changed my mind and decided not to go..."

Bo Yuchuan had anticipated her response, and his deep voice carried a hint of amusement.

"Why would Grandma think that you've been with me for the past six months?"

Oh no, we've been completely exposed.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, so long that Bo Yuchuan couldn't help but call her name.

"Wen Li, are you listening?"

"I'm here, I'm here," Wen Li quickly thought of a solution, but she had no ideas at all. She could only sheepishly admit her mistake, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to Grandma."

Bo Yuchuan pressed his temples. "I'm more curious about how you managed to keep it a secret for so long?"

Although Grandma is old, she is still quite senile.

If Wen Li doesn't produce some evidence, she won't believe it so easily.

The girl's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible: "I photoshopped the picture."

"What picture?"

Wen Li bit her lower lip. "I asked Doubao to Photoshop a picture of the two of us together, and then I sent it to Grandma..."

When she called her grandmother, she pretended that Mr. Bo was busy and not by her side, and then sent her a few photoshopped pictures to reassure her grandmother.

Wen Li knew this was wrong.

But she didn't want to live alone in Cloud Bay; that wasn't her home.

This was the only excuse she could use to move out.

Bo Yuchuan almost laughed out of anger.

He didn't even know whether he should praise her for being smart.

After a moment of silence, Bo Yuchuan asked in a low voice, "Why move out of Yunhai Bay?"

Wen Li's brain is overloaded, and she has completely read and replied randomly.

"The house there is too big; I'm scared to live there alone."

Bo Yuchuan: "..."

The man took a deep breath, his tone softening slightly, "I'll finish up my business overseas as soon as possible and come back to be with you."

Wen Li was stunned. "Huh?"

That's not necessary.

She's quite content with her current married-single status, but more importantly, she doesn't know how to face him.

Although they've been married for six months, she doesn't know him at all. What should she do?

When he gets back, they're not going to be lying in the same bed, are they? And even doing *that*... OMG! Help!

"I'm going to the UK tomorrow, and there will be a seven-hour time difference with China."

"Oh, okay," Wen Li replied hesitantly.

She scratched her ear, not understanding why he suddenly said that.

What country is he in? What is the time difference between him and China? What is his relationship with her?

They don't keep in touch.

After making the call, Bo Yuchuan was somewhat confused.

Why did Wen Li's attitude towards him change so drastically between WeChat and the phone?

Even though it's the same voice, the voice messages on WeChat sound so sweet and intimate, like a soft, coquettish plea.

But when she called him, she became unusually nervous and spoke to him in a much more polite and distant manner.

Echo: [Why didn't you call me "husband" when you called me on the phone?]
