Cough cough cough...
Chen Xuan hastily straightened Lin Wanxi's body, retrieving his hand with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"In the heat of the mont, I didn't think much," Chen Xuan forced a smile.
Lin Wanxi blushed, "I understand, I don't bla you."
"You just need to be careful. The Zheng Family certainly won't let you off easy."
Chen Xuan waved dismissively, "There's no need to worry about . Don't you know my strength by now?"
"But as for you, if the Zheng Family dares to trouble you again, call imdiately."
"Okay." Lin Wanxi softly humd, falling into silence.
Suddenly, both fell into an awkward silence, unsure of what to say next.
"Um... you should go back. No need to go out of your way to see off."
Chen Xuan forced a smile, waved, and drove away.
Lin Wanxi watched Chen Xuan's departing figure, feeling uneasy.
Unconsciously, they seed to beco the most familiar strangers, an invisible gap forming between them.
Unable to chat and joke like before, Chen Xuan no longer showed his unserious side.
Instead, he was polite, making her feel a little uneasy.
Alas!
Finally sighing helplessly, Lin Wanxi turned back to the living room, her mood heavy.
Chen Xuan felt the sa!
Throughout the journey, his heart was filled with lancholy, unsure of how things would turn out between him and Lin Wanxi.
Arriving at the rented apartnt downstairs, Chen Xuan hid his sad emotions and returned inside.
"Where did you go?" Su Linlang asked with a smile.
Chen Xuan smiled and replied, "I had so matters to attend to."
Su Linlang didn't press further, "Wash your hands and eat. I just finished cooking."
"School ended a bit late today, must be starving?"
Chen Xuan rely shook his head and smiled, not saying much.
During the al, Su Linlang noticed and said, "Chen Xuan, you seem troubled, care to share?"
Knowing he couldn't hide it from her, Chen Xuan confessed.
Ah?
Su Linlang exclaid imdiately, "Chen Xuan, shouldn't you hurry back to Lin Wanxi's side?"
"If the Zheng Family causes trouble, and you can't get there in ti, it'll be too late if anything happens."
Chen Xuan was amused, "Linlang, you want to go back to Lin Wanxi?"
"Is there an issue? She's your wife; you two haven't completed the divorce procedure." Su Linlang looked at him.
Chen Xuan's expression was odd, "I an, aren't you a little jealous? You're pushing towards Lin Wanxi?"
Su Linlang smiled bitterly, "I have no right to be jealous. I only feel guilty towards Lin Wanxi."
"I also know you can't let her go, and you're considering my feelings, which is too much to ask of you."
"Linlang, don't say that, I..."
Before Chen Xuan could finish, Su Linlang raised her hand to stop him, "No need to say more. I fully support you on this matter."
"Also, I have my own selfish reasons! You've already angered the Zheng Family, staying with could involve too."
"I don't want to live in fear with you, so take care of this matter and when you wish to return, I'll welco you back."
Chen Xuan was filled with endless gratitude, recognizing Su Linlang's intentional words to ease his conscience in protecting Lin Wanxi.
"Linlang, you're truly a rare woman! So understanding!"
"Always thinking for , never for yourself!"
"Because of this, I swear I'll treat you well for life, never letting you suffer."
Su Linlang smiled gently, "Alright, I've noted your last words."
"After dinner, go, don't let Lin Wanxi and her parents worry all night."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Chen Xuan felt relieved having such a magnanimous and understanding woman in his life.
After dinner, Su Linlang personally saw him downstairs, waved goodbye with a smile.
Chen Xuan kissed Su Linlang, "I'm off, take care."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself, don't worry about ."
"Drive safely."
Su Linlang waved with a smile.
Chen Xuan drove off, Su Linlang imdiately called her father Su Dahai, "Dad, this is the first ti I'm asking you for a favor..."
anwhile.
Lin Zhiguo's family of three sat in the living room, faces filled with worry.
"Humph, what kind of man is Chen Xuan! He crippled the Zheng Family's young master and acts like nothing happened."
"Just leaves us worrying! Not even formally divorced from Wanxi, and already ignoring us!"
Zhang Ru complained angrily.
"Alright, enough with the words!"
Lin Zhiguo said sternly, "Back when Chen Xuan was around, you were unhappy with him, and now you bla him for leaving us in trouble."
"Behaving like this is hardly becoming!"
Zhang Ru retorted unhappily, "I can't speak now? Chen Xuan is clearly soone who abandons old for new, not a good person!"
"If he had any conscience, he wouldn't leave Wanxi unattended, placing us in danger!"
"Wanxi, tell , does Chen Xuan have a conscience? Does he truly love you?"
"Mom, please stop talking, let have so peace, alright?" Lin Wanxi sighed with frustration, her heart filled with bitterness.
Just then, Chen Xuan drove into the yard.
"Chen Xuan? He's... back again?" Lin Zhiguo said in shock.
Lin Wanxi also widened her eyes, hurriedly looking outside...
