Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Can Drive You Mad_1 Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Can Drive You Mad_1 “Boss, are you okay?”
Huo Beijiang came back to his senses, his hand slipped into his trouser pocket as he shook his head and said, “I’m fine.”
Ning Di hesitated for a moment before saying, “Why don’t you explain it to Sister-in-law? I think she truly loves you. She’s just angry because you haven’t contacted her for such a long time. If you explain your reasons clearly, she will definitely forgive you.”
He had been following him all this way, only keeping his distance in the small park, out of politeness. He came over to ask only after he saw Sister-in-law leaving and Boss didn’t come out.
Moreover, during their time at the State Guest Hotel, she handled conversations and responses to others impressively, she didn’t seem like a woman who would create trouble without cause.
Huo Beijiang gave a wry smile and asked self-deprecatingly, “Explain what?”
Ning Di was taken aback.
“Should I explain that I suddenly have a fiancee in the Imperial City? Or should I explain that the man she’s been betrothed to since childhood has been concealing another identity from her?” Huo Beijiang replied coldly and seemed distant.
“No matter how important the reasons or matters were for me to leave her for over half a year, nothing can justify these two facts. If you were in my place, wouldn’t you be angry too?”
Ning Di looked awkward, “Uh… If it were me, I would probably give you a sound beating and tell you to disappear.”
“Exactly!” Huo Beijiang sighed, “I shouldn’t have rushed back before handling my affairs in Imperial City. It only added more troubles and worries for her.”
He had been too anxious, and he had missed her too much.
Huo Beijiang could not resist the torment and pain inside him. He felt that if he stayed in the Imperial City any longer, he would go mad. So he’d rushed back home, desperate to see his wife.
“Boss, don’t be too upset. You never agreed or approved of your supposed fiancee in the Imperial City. As far as we’re concerned, there’s only one Sister-in-law and that’s Jiang Nanfei. We’ll never acknowledge any other woman.”
Huo Beijiang cast him a cold glance, “What’s with the talk about ‘other women’? Since when did I have ‘other women’?”
“Uh…” Ning Di was a straightforward man who liked to tell it like it is, “You are indeed very attractive to women! Back in school, the female students who admired you could form a line three times around the playground.” They had always wondered; Boss had countless good qualities.
Yet his flaws were almost as many as his virtues. Yu Xiaoxiao once lamented, were those women blind? There were loads of ideal men out there, so why on earth did they like such a scoundrel?
Ning Di’s words made Huo Beijiang frown. Previously, he would have taken it as a compliment, but now it just felt like a burden.
“You’d better not mention this in front of your Sister-in-law, otherwise I’ll make sure you regret it.”
Ning Di hastily shook his head, “Absolutely not, but I’m worried that Yu Xiaoxiao and the others will.”
“Hmph!” Huo Beijiang scoffed, narrowing his eyes threateningly, “They wouldn’t dare.”
“So Boss, what do you plan to do?” Ning Di, usually a man of few words who solely focused on his own tasks and duties, felt compelled to intervene and felt keen to give some constructive advice.
With Sister-in-law being such a beauty and Boss not by her side, many men were bound to covet her.
He sneaked a glance at Huo Beijiang, remembered his boss’s jealousy and imagined him going insane with anger.
