762 That Night

Su Jin smiled bitterly when she heard Xi Chenxiao’s question. She didn’t want to say anything at first, but she felt bad every time she saw Xi Chenxiao so miserable. She finally decided to come clean so she could rid Xi Chenxiao of this worry and prevent any irreparable rift between them.

Su Jin nodded as she said, “Yes. I noticed something was wrong that night as soon as we came home.”

“So, I made preparations.”

“I know everything that happened that night.”

Xi Chenxiao raised his head to look at Su Jin with his eyes wide. Since Su Jin knew, why did she keep everything from him? Couldn’t she just tell him? Damn Su Jin for making him think that he had done something to betray her that night.

Xi Chenxiao’s eyes were cold but not cruel when he said, “Then tell me everything now.”

Su Jin swallowed hard when she saw Xi Chenxiao’s murderous eyes. She couldn’t help but take another few steps toward the door, preparing herself to run away at any time. However, Xi Tian quietly appeared at the door and blocked her escape route. Xi Tian also wanted to know what happened that night. Why didn’t Madam say this earlier instead of having him worry about his life every day?

When Xi Chenxiao saw Xi Tian blocking the exit, he gave Xi Tian a look to tell him that he’s doing a good job. From the corner of Su Jin’s eye, she saw Xi Tian and knew that she wouldn’t be able to escape this time. But since she had already said so much, there’s no way she could avoid coming clean today.

Su Jin swallowed hard and said guiltily to Xi Chenxiao, “Hubby, should we talk about this in private?”

Xi Chenxiao shook his head. Of course not. Although Su Jin wasn’t very good at martial arts yet, she was very good at running away. Xi Chenxiao even suspected that she learned that from Yu Haiyang. Su Jin knew that she couldn’t run away, and her face was gloomy. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have mentioned anything.

Su Jin looked up and said slowly, “When we came home that night, I detected a light fragrance in the air.”

“But we’ve never used that kind of incense at home. So, I secretly took a universal antidote.”

Through Su Jin’s account, Xi Chenxiao and Xi Tian finally learned what happened that night. Both of them never thought that they had fallen into Bai Xue’s trap. Xi Tian was very relieved when he learned that nothing happened between him and Madam. His gloomy mood from the past few days brightened and he no longer need to worry about the chairman hurting him at any moment.

Xi Chenxiao felt the same way. He also heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that nothing happened between him and Bai Xue. However, he was unhappy when he thought about how Su Jin framed him. As for Su Jin asking Yu Haiyang to bring people over to give Bai Xue a taste of her own medicine, he thought it was the right move.

Xi Chenxiao stood up from his chair as he said in a cold voice, “Darling, in that case, should we go back to the room and have a good chat?”

Su Jin wanted to run away but Xi Tian was like a door god guarding the exit, not giving her any chance to escape. Su Jin rolled her eyes. What an ungrateful Xi Tian! She had just cleared his name but he’s now helping Xi Chenxiao? Su Jin had no choice but to nod and follow Xi Chenxiao back to their room.

After entering the master bedroom, Xi Chenxiao sat by the bed with a cold face. He looked at Su Jin with slightly angry eyes, upset that she knew what happened but kept everything from him, and caused him to blame himself for what happened between him and Bai Xue.

Xi Chenxiao cleared his throat before he said coldly to Su Jin, “Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?”

“For making me live in guilt the past few days.”

Su Jin looked at Xi Chenxiao’s angry face and lowered her head. She didn’t know what to do. Although she knew that Xi Chenxiao would punish her after she came clean, she didn’t know how he would punish her. Although she was in the wrong, she had no choice.

Su Jin replied guiltily, “Hubby, I’ll be good in the future. Don’t be angry anymore, okay?”

A smile appeared briefly at the corner of Xi Chenxiao’s mouth. He couldn’t let Su Jin think that he had let her off. How could she hide such a big thing from him for so many days? If she didn’t come clean today, Xi Chenxiao would probably be kept in the dark forever.

Xi Chenxiao got up and walked towards Su Jin. He then held her and said coyly, “I can stop being angry. But it all depends on your performance.”
