On the other side, Lin Ruoxue, after working in the office for over an hour, felt her body slightly numb, so she stood up to stretch a bit.
She made herself a cup of coffee and took it to the window to enjoy the view of the blue sky and white clouds, instantly feeling much more relaxed.
It was then that she suddenly rembered she had forgotten to ask Su Chen what he had been up to early in the morning.
She was really becoming forgetful! Lin Ruoxue sowhat annoyed, smacked her own head.
"Forget it, as long as he's not getting into trouble, let him be,"
Lin Ruoxue murmured helplessly.
.....
In the following days, Su Chen led a mundane life without anything special happening, except for a visit to Tang Yun's ho for dinner over the weekend.
He really didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist the strong insistence of Tang's mother, Pei Rou, and had to agree.
Of course, once there, Tang Yun's parents treated him completely like their son-in-law, their warmth growing ever more imnse, making Su Chen felt so uneasy that he hurriedly ate his dinner and escaped back ho.
During this ti, Ye i also called to say that she would be visiting the headquarters of Ali Corporation to discuss further cooperation.
Ye i mainly wanted Su Chen to accompany her, as Ali Corporation was backed by the Phillip Family, and since it was in a foreign country, she felt quite nervous.
Su Chen didn't imdiately agree but told her he'd see if he had ti and if so, he would accompany her.
Of course, these days, he still went to the estate to cultivate daily, as the True Yuan there was so rich it would be a waste not to make good use of it.
Su Chen felt that after so ti, he might progress to the Qi Refinent Eighth Layer, but how soon that would happen, he couldn't be sure.
The longer he spent cultivating at the estate, the more Su Chen realized the extraordinary nature of this place.
He initially thought the rich Yuan Qi here was because the estate was close to Jiangyang Lake, but now he was starting to doubt this theory.
Indeed, places near a water source do tend to have a bit more Yuan Qi, but it shouldn't be as thick as it was here, especially considering Jiangyang Lake was just a small lake.
Although he had his doubts, he hadn't yet found the reason, or rather, he hadn't taken the ti to look into it properly.
However, what sowhat exasperated Su Chen was that Xu Xinran seed to be getting more comfortable living here, almost to the point where she felt too content to think of leaving.
Su Chen had asked her several tis when she was going back, and she always vaguely replied that it would be soon.
Su Chen didn't really have a solution, so he just let her be.
Xia Qiuru's mood had clearly worsened these days, always wearing an irritated expression, and whenever Su Chen encountered her at the group, he could feel her unhappiness.
But Su Chen dared not say anything, as he knew from Xu Xinran why she was unhappy, and asking would only add to the embarrassnt, though seeing Xia Qiuru like this made him quite uncomfortable too.
As ti passed, Su Chen's own mood beca more and more anxious, as the ti of Eniel's arrival was drawing nearer.
Ti flowed like water, moving forward incessantly, naturally not pausing for Su Chen's personal desires.
Ti quickly ca to next Tuesday, and Su Chen's nerves stretched to the limit, because the Sloley Group's delegation would arrive in Jianghai tomorrow.
That night, Lin Ruoxue also ca ho early because she wanted to rest well and be in top shape to welco the Sloley Group's delegation.
Since Lin Ruoxue had co ho early, they naturally had dinner together.
After dinner, Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue casually sat on the couch and started chatting, with Wang Ma having already prepared Lin Ruoxue's favorite honeydew lon, cutting it into pieces and placing it on a plate on the coffee table.
As for Lin Ruoxue's previous declaration of never eating honeydew lon again, naturally, Wang Ma took it as a joke or a statent made in anger.
"Wife, what ti is the Sloley Group's delegation arriving tomorrow?"
Su Chen asked as if casually pondering.
"10 o'clock."
Lin Ruoxue replied, although she found it strange that Su Chen was asking about work-related matters.
"Oh."
Su Chen made a sound of acknowledgnt and then fell silent again.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Ruoxue also felt that Su Chen was sowhat different from usual. Normally, he would have already started getting frisky, and wouldn't just sit there quietly like he was now.
"Wife, may I ask you a question?"
After a while, Su Chen suddenly spoke.
"What's the question?"
"I an, what would you do if one day you found out I did sothing to wrong you?"
After Su Chen asked this question, he felt his heart tighten, and his heartbeat even stopped for a mont.
"Like what?"
Lin Ruoxue tilted her head curiously and looked at him.
"Like, like if I actually cheated today, what would you do?"
Su Chen didn't even dare to look up and et Lin Ruoxue's eyes.
"You, you really went out fooling around last night?!"
Lin Ruoxue suddenly stood up, her body trembling as she pointed at Su Chen and shouted at him sternly.
"No, no."
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
Su Chen quickly pulled her back to the sofa and swore:
"Absolutely not. After marrying you, I've definitely not been involved with any other won!"
Here, Su Chen was careful with his words—what he said applied to the ti after their marriage; as for before they were married, that was...
"Then what did you an by what you said just now?"
Lin Ruoxue had cald down a bit, but her tone was still sowhat cold.
"I ant 'if'. If, you understand? It never really happened."
Su Chen paused and then continued:
"If sothing like this happened in the future, what would you do?"
Hearing Su Chen's question, Lin Ruoxue really asked herself that internally:
If Su Chen really had a relationship with another woman, what would she do?
But after thinking for a while, she had no answer.
If it were the Lin Ruoxue of the past, the answer would be obvious—for soone as clean as her, of course, it would be an imdiate divorce!
But now, she seed unable to do so easily. As for whether she would split up with Su Chen because of it, she didn't know.
However, just the thought of separating from Su Chen made her heart ache faintly, even making it difficult for her to breathe.
"I don't know."
Lin Ruoxue shook her head and spoke, her expression becoming desolate, which made Su Chen's heart ache.
"I was just asking casually."
Su Chen gave a warm smile:
"All right, go take a shower and get so rest early."
"Okay."
Lin Ruoxue nodded her head and then went upstairs...
