I wish you peace and love

Feeling the endless loneliness emanating from the man beside him that seemed to drown out everything, Lin Yan couldn't help but pause, then whispered to comfort him: "Brother Che, in my opinion, I don't think sister-in-law meant that. She probably just asked that because she misunderstood you, and her purpose was to confirm the truth of the matter."

However, after hearing these words, Lu Xiche just had an indescribable bitter smile on his face.

Seeing this, Lin Yan quickly continued, "And my sister-in-law just asked me what you are busy with, Brother Che!"

"Really?" Lu Xiche raised his eyes and asked as he almost heard these words.

"This is true, my sister-in-law really asked me what I was doing."

Lu Xiche was very surprised. He didn't expect Yun Xi to ask him what he was doing.

Does this mean that she actually misses him too?

Lin Yan saw the look on Lu Xiche's face and continued, "Brother Che, think about it. If my sister-in-law didn't care about you and didn't trust you at all, how could she lower her face to ask about my situation? It's obvious that my sister-in-law has doubts in her heart, but she is embarrassed to ask you directly for confirmation, so she uses this method to euphemistically express her worries and concerns!

"So, Brother Che, you really don't need to worry too much about this matter, let alone have wild thoughts. How could sister-in-law love you so much that she would easily stop trusting you? Moreover, if sister-in-law really has a grudge and refuses to believe that this is just a misunderstanding, then I will definitely stand up and explain the whole thing to sister-in-law clearly, so that she will understand that there is indeed no improper relationship between you and Xiaoya."

"She doesn't even want to believe my explanation, so how can she believe you?" Lu Xiche turned his head slightly, glanced at him with icy eyes, then opened his thin lips and said coldly.

"No way? Is it really that serious?" Hearing this, Lin Yan's face was full of suspicion.

After a brief pause, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked cautiously, "Brother Che, how did you explain it to my sister-in-law?"

Lu Xiche looked ahead expressionlessly. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke and repeated what he had said at the time word for word: "I have nothing to do with her, please don't misunderstand me."

After saying this, his expression returned to its previous cold and frosty look.

"Is that so?" Lin Yan asked in disbelief, eyes wide open.

"Yeah." Lu Xiche was very frugal with words and only uttered a simple syllable from his nasal cavity in response.

"That's all?" Lin Yan felt his jaw almost drop in shock. He really couldn't imagine that Lu Xiche only said a few words about such an important matter.

"That's all." This time, Lu Xiche's tone was still cold.

Faced with such an answer, Lin Yan was completely speechless, and couldn't utter a word for a long time: "..."

After a while, Lin Yancai finally looked disappointed and said to Lu Xiche, "Brother Che, you should at least be more serious when explaining this kind of thing!?"

"Isn't this serious enough?"

Lin Yan: "..."

With such little talk, it’s really a miracle that Shen Yunxi could stay with him for so long without them quarreling!

"You're not serious at all! Just a few dry and stiff sentences, it's simply the standard official answer! No wonder sister-in-law refuses to believe you no matter what you say. If it were me, I would definitely not believe it either!!"

"What can you do?"

Finally got to the point.

Lin Yan was at his ease, looking at him solemnly, and said seriously, "Women need to be coaxed!"

"Cheer?"

Lu Xiche was in deep thought.

How to comfort someone when you can’t even contact them?

Go back and coax her? He wanted to, but he had just returned and couldn't leave until things here were resolved.

"Yes, you have to coax her. Not only do you have to coax her, but you have to coax her seriously."

"You have to explain it seriously, instead of not clarifying the misunderstanding right away and telling her I'll explain it to you when I have time."

After listening to this, Lu Xiche felt as if his heart was being gnawing at by countless ants, and he became extremely annoyed.

It would be fine if there was no coaxing, but with this one, I feel like I won the first prize.

Yun Xi was so angry. If he had known that she would be so serious, he would have explained everything clearly and plainly yesterday, even if he had to put aside everything he was doing.

Lu Xiche lowered his eyes without saying a word, and he looked as if he had lost all his energy and vitality.

Seeing this, Lin Yan at the side couldn't help but speak again: "Also, you must not let her feel that she is not that important in your mind."

Lu Xiche suddenly raised his head, looked at Lin Yan firmly, and answered decisively: "I won't let her have such an illusion!"

However, having said that, Yun Xi was very angry at the moment. What could he do to make her contact him willingly?

This question was like a heavy rock, making it difficult for him to breathe.

After finally finishing his meal, Lu Xiche anxiously took out his cell phone and quickly dialed Shen Yunxi's number.

But this time, the tone that came was no longer the familiar busy tone, but the cold tone of the other party's phone being turned off.

Hearing this voice, Lu Xiche's already extremely bad mood instantly fell to the bottom, and his irritability became more intense.

If the current situation continues to develop, if I don’t find a way to resolve it as soon as possible, I’m afraid I’ll lose my wife.

After careful consideration, Lu Xiche decided to return to China tomorrow morning. No matter how important the things here were, in his heart they would never be as important as his beloved wife!

…………

On the morning of the second day, Lu Xiche was originally preparing to return home early in the morning, but because he had a fever again in the middle of the night, he couldn't get up this morning.

On the other hand, Lin Yan was unaware of these situations.

He dialed Hong Chen's number.

A rapid telephone ring suddenly rang, instantly waking him up from his short sleep.

Hong Chen suddenly opened his eyes, fumbled for his phone in panic, and groaned in his heart.

After the call was connected, Lin Yan asked what happened: "Hong Chen, how is Brother Che today? Is he okay?"

On the other end of the phone, Hong Chen's slightly tired voice slowly sounded: "The master had a fever again in the middle of the night last night, and couldn't get out of bed this morning..."

Hong Chen has not left since the doctor left last night. He was worried that his master would feel unwell again at night, so he just waited quietly from midnight until dawn.

Staying up late for a long time made Hong Chen feel extremely sleepy. At this moment, he was as sleepy as a dog.

"Why do you have a fever again? Is it serious?" Lin Yan asked worriedly.

"The fever was quite severe. Luckily the doctor came to see him last night and gave him medicine, and his fever went down. He should still be feeling very uncomfortable this morning, and he is still sleeping."

"That's good. If anything happens, notify the doctor immediately."

"Ah."

…………

After taking a flight for more than ten hours, Shen Yunxi finally arrived in New York, his body almost falling apart.

After getting off the plane, she turned off the airplane mode on her phone, and a lot of messages popped up immediately.

There were multiple call requests from Lu Xiche, including messages and voice calls from Lin Yan.

Lu Xiche didn't even need to guess, he must have called to apologize and explain.

But, why did Lin Yan call me???

She became suspicious and immediately opened the WeChat interface to take a look. The next second, after seeing the content clearly, a look of panic and uneasiness suddenly appeared on her originally calm face.

The first voice call was made at 10 o'clock last night.

Not only did Lin Yan call her, he also sent her a message telling her that Lu Xiche had fallen ill after catching a cold after drinking a lot of alcohol after quarreling with her.

She was on a plane and had turned on airplane mode so she couldn't see or reply.

Since Shen Yunxi was on a plane at the time and her phone was in flight mode, she was unable to receive or reply to these messages.

Lin Yan probably thought that she saw the message and thought it might be about Lu Xiche and deliberately didn't reply, so she sent another message at 6:30 this morning.

"Brother Che is ill and has a high fever. He is bedridden. His condition looks serious. Sister-in-law, if you see this message, please reply immediately."

Without time to think carefully, the anxious Shen Yunxi didn't care about many other things. She quickly called Lin Yan back without thinking.

Almost instantly, Lin Yan answered the call.

Before Shen Yunxi even had time to open her mouth to speak, Lin Yan's anxious voice came over impatiently: "Sister-in-law! You finally answered the phone! My heart is about to jump out of my throat!"

"How is your brother Che doing? My phone was on airplane mode, and I just saw your message after I got off the plane. I really didn't mean to not reply."

"Hong Chen told me this morning that his fever had subsided, but he was still dazed and lying in bed, unable to get up. As for the current situation, I'm not too sure. I'm busy at the company right now, and I really can't spare the time to visit Brother Che at his home."

However, just one second after Lin Yan subconsciously answered Shen Yunxi's question, he suddenly came to his senses as if he realized that he seemed to have missed something important.

After he re-read what Shen Yunxi had said in his mind, he was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Wait... what do you mean you got off the plane? You turned on the flight mode and can't reply? Where did you go, sister-in-law?"

"I'm in New York. I just got off the plane."

"What?" Lin Yan couldn't believe it and confirmed again, "Sister-in-law, you came to Country M?"

"Yeah." Shen Yunxi responded softly, with a hint of urgency and concern in her voice: "Lin Yan, please send me Lu Xiche's address and house number as soon as possible, I'll go see him."

In fact, Shen Yunxi was still secretly angry in her heart and didn't want to take the initiative to find him so soon.

However, when she heard Lin Yan say that Lu Xiche was sick, the worry in her heart instantly took over, and she couldn't wait to go and check on Lu Xiche's condition in person.

"Okay, no problem, I'll send it to you right away."

After hanging up the voice call, Shen Yunxi immediately received the detailed house number and specific address information from Lin Yan.

Not only that, Lin Yan, who was very thoughtful, was worried that when Shen Yunxi went to Lu Xiche's house, Hong Chen would be out and no one would open the door, so he even sent her the house password.

After receiving this key information, Shen Yunxi did not delay at all. He quickly picked up his luggage, hurried out of the airport gate, and hailed a taxi to go straight to his destination.

Along the way, she kept urging the driver to drive faster, wishing she could fly to Lu Xiche immediately.

After about half an hour's drive, we finally arrived.

After paying the fare, Shen Yunxi picked up her luggage and quickly got out of the car, then quickly went upstairs and arrived at Lu Xiche's door.

Looking at the closed door in front of her, she didn't have time to calm her slightly nervous mood. She directly entered the password to open the door and pushed her suitcase in.

The interior of the house was quite spacious. After Shen Yunxi stepped into the house, he quickly scanned the surroundings.

Just then, a young man with a gloomy face walked out of one of the rooms.

This person is none other than Hong Chen, the second-ranked master under Lu Xiche.

Just as he raised his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman carrying a suitcase suddenly appearing in front of him. His heart was shocked and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

At first, Hong Chen thought that some daring person had dared to break into a private house without permission, but when he looked closely, he found that the person standing in front of him was actually his master's wife!

In an instant, the expression on his face changed from surprise to joy, and then was quickly replaced by astonishment.

"Madam, you...shouldn't you be in China? How come you suddenly appear here?" Hong Chen asked in astonishment, his words full of disbelief.

However, Shen Yunxi had no time to respond to his question at the moment. She was extremely anxious and interrupted him with a look of anxiety: "Don't worry about it for now. Tell me which room your master is in? I want to go see him right away!"

Hong Chen was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Shen Yunxi to be so anxious, but he quickly came to his senses and nodded in response: "Yes, Madam, please follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly in the direction he had just been in, leading Shen Yunxi to Lu Xiche's room.

"This is the room." Hong Chen said softly, reaching out to push open the closed door in front of him.

At this moment, Shen Yunxi, who had been following behind him, suddenly called out to him: "Wait..."

Hong Chen's hand, which he had just extended, suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at Shen Yunxi in confusion, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Shen Yunxi pursed her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment as if she had some concerns before asking, "Is your master awake?"
