No one wants to be constantly misunderstood, especially by their own wife.
If this basic trust is lacking...
How can one live through the long decades ahead?
Ran Xiangsi was forced to look into his eyes, her thoughts floating for about three seconds, then she mimicked his serious manner, and inquired, "Can you trust me unconditionally as well?"
"You really can’t let yourself be at a disadvantage for even a moment..." Xing Chen let out a laugh. Seeing her pressuring so relentlessly, not allowing herself to lose any ground, he suddenly felt like he had no way to handle her.
"Exactly, trust must be mutual." Ran Xiangsi didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.
That’s just her personality, whatever she receives, she returns in kind.
"Alright." His thin lips parted slightly, agreeing to her.
He couldn’t refuse her request.
Seeing that Xing Chen had agreed, Ran Xiangsi nodded too, almost in a reciprocating manner, saying, "Then I agree with you too."
The initial promises were made lightly.
Who knew, when it came time to truly fulfill them, how difficult it would be.
Years later, when Xing Chen looked back at this period, who would have expected that this tall, sturdy man could also shed tears?
The two of them took a step back, set aside their pride, and finally reconciled.
Ran Xiangsi seemed already used to Xing Chen’s embrace, snuggling obediently in his arms for a nap.
Her index finger playfully touched the collar of his white shirt, suddenly remembering the instigator of this whole mess, she found it puzzling and asked Xing Chen.
"We have resolved our issues, but Lou Xinyu... I still don’t understand, how could she possible sleep with someone without knowing who they were?"
To mistakenly identify someone like that, Ran Xiangsi was quite impressed.
What on earth was Lou Xinyu’s brain made of?
Regarding this, Xing Chen had never really cared.
He didn’t care about Lou Xinyu’s issues.
But if she and the Lou Family wanted to make trouble for him, then naturally he wouldn’t just sit around and let them have their way.
"Whether she really misidentified someone or it was a scheme set up by the Lou Family, it’s still an unknown." Xing Chen said coldly. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet
He thought about things more broadly, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so calm from the start.
Ran Xiangsi nodded in confusion, thought for a moment, and then added, "Actually, I think she is quite pitiful. I feel like she genuinely mistook someone. She seems to like you a lot; if she knew that man wasn’t you, wouldn’t she go crazy?"
After all, women are women, and at this moment, Ran Xiangsi began to sympathize with Lou Xinyu a bit.
To reach this point and still survive safely in this brutal world until her twenties, it’s hard not to pity her.
"You sympathize with her?" Xing Chen squinted his eyes, looking at Ran Xiangsi with a slightly meaningful gaze.
Ran Xiangsi really wanted to nod...
But under the oppressive influence of Xing Chen’s scary gaze, she immediately changed her mind, "No sympathy! She’s my rival! If she dares bother me again, humph! I’ll expose her affair with that other man and see how she’ll live with that!"
"Very good." Xing Chen finally nodded in satisfaction, "Remember your own stance. Mrs. Xing should have the demeanor of Mrs. Xing!"
He was teaching her to exercise her rights, and nurturing her possessiveness.
After all, Xing Chen also needed to feel desired and valued by the one he loved.
