“I cannot be alone with any woman besides my wife. I’d feel guilty for betraying her.
Xie Yi’s heart twitched in pain.
Deep down, his wife was still most important.
That woman was so lucky.
Xie Yi was puzzled and asked, “Don’t you need to spend time alone with women at work?”
Xie Xuning nodded. “No. There are women all around me at work. If spending time alone with a woman is unavoidable, I would bring someone else alone.
Xie Xuning always reminded himself of his position at any moment. Since he was married, he needed to keep his distance from other women.
The last time he would go to the park with Xie Yi was also because his guards were standing nearby.
“In that case, may I ask Mo Shi to accompany us?”
Xie Yi took one step back. She was only looking for a chance to confess her feelings to Xie Xuning.
“That will be fine. I will go make the arrangement.”
“Could we do it today?”
Xie Yi looked at Xie Xuning eagerly. She had to get everything settled today, or she would lose her final chance to be with Xie Xuning.
“Okay.”
Xie Xuning had no problem bringing someone to visit the Forbidden City.
“Let me put my stuff away.”
Xie Xuning nodded and stepped out.
Xie Yi took out a mirror from the drawer and patted her face with her hands.
She blushed, but he never noticed how red her face turned.
Her heart was beating so fast that Xie Yi felt as if it could stop at any moment.
Xie Yi opened her closet and glanced over the clothes inside. She took off her white gown. She had a white turtleneck sweater with the bottom tugged into her woolen skirt, along with a pair of high heels.
Xie Yi took out her comb and slightly combed her black and straight hair.
There was some static because of the winter weather, so she sprayed a little hair-care nutrient water onto her hair.
Xie Yi took another look into the mirror. Her lip color seemed to be a bit too light.
She took out some lipstick and applied it a little to her lips, but then she used a tissue to wipe off some of it because she seemed to have too much lipstick on.
Xie Yi buried her face in her hands and felt the warmth of her face. She couldn’t help but shut her eyes and take a deep breath.
‘Xie Yi, you are not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl anymore. What is the matter with you?’
People who fell deeply in love often acted this way. At times; such people would wonder whether or not they were ill.”
Her heart was pounding so fast.
When Xi Yi thought about visiting the Forbidden City with Xie Xuning, she felt that she was… becoming young again.
“Dr. Xie, are you ready?” Xie Xuning waited outside the door and asked.
Xie Yi took down her winter coat from the hanger and put it on before leaving the room. She took another glance at herself in the mirror.
‘Xie Yi, come on!’
‘Xie Yi, come on!’
‘Today, I must confess; I will not miss it!’
‘This is the man who touched your heart. If you miss him, you will regret it for the rest of your life!’
Xie Yi opened the door and walked to Xie Xuning’s side. “Let’s go.”
Mo Shi sat in the passenger seat. She secretly glanced at Xie Yi, who was sitting in the backseat. She could not help but think, ‘Dr. Xie seems to be more gentle and feminine today.’
