However, Mu Chaoran did not ask any more questions: "Wife, you draw pictures every day and face the computer, you really need to protect your eyes."

Lin Xige lowered her head even more.

He clearly heard that her excuse was untenable, but he did not ask further questions, but instead changed the subject to avoid the main point. Does this also mean that...

He feels guilty.

Mu Chaoran also had something he was hiding from her, so he didn't ask her about her strange behavior, so that she wouldn't ask too many questions.

Both of them maintained their balance in tacit understanding, and neither of them tried to break it.

I really don’t know whether this is a tacit understanding or ridiculous.

Lin Xige felt even sadder.

She took a deep breath and stood up from his arms: "Why did you come back so suddenly, and so late?"

"Of course I'm done with my work and can go home." Mu Chaoran replied, "It's a bit of a rush to go back today. Mr. Xu wants us to stay overnight and leave tomorrow at noon or in the afternoon. But I thought you were alone at home, so I wanted to come earlier to accompany you."

"What are you busy with?"

Busy with dates, meals, and meetings?

What did Mu Chaoran say and do when he and that woman were sitting in a car?

Did he hold her hand or hug her?

How far has their relationship developed?

The more she thought about it, the colder Lin Xige's heart became.

The joy I felt when I first saw Mu Chaoran when I opened the door was so vivid and cheerful, but now, there is nothing left.

Why, why did you betray her...

But she was too cowardly to question it and carefully maintained her relationship with her husband, not wanting it to break down.

I'm so tired.

Mu Chaoran rubbed her hair: "Wife, of course you are busy with work."

He noticed something was wrong with her at first glance.

Mu Chaoran saw the loneliness, helplessness, fear and confusion in her eyes.

She must have something on her mind, which is why she ignored his messages.

Lin Xige is a person who cannot hide her thoughts. No matter how hard she tries to suppress them, they always show on her face.

It seems that Mu Chaoran needs to investigate carefully what happened during the time when he was away from Su City.

The problem is that the bodyguard did not report to him the abnormalities that Lin Xige encountered.

There were no strange people around her, and no strange things happened.

But...it's impossible for her to suddenly become like this.

Worrying about gains and losses, his eyes were filled with melancholy.

Lin Xige hummed, and suddenly threw herself into his arms again.

What a pity, it’s not as warm as just now.

She felt sad when she thought of other women snuggling in his arms like this.

"Hubby, do you love me?" Lin Xige asked, "No matter how long it takes, no matter what happens, will you love me wholeheartedly and protect me?"

Mu Chaoran answered without hesitation: "Of course."

"Love is a lifelong commitment, and it can only be given to one person, my husband."

"Yes. So, I gave it to you."

Mu Chaoran lowered his head and kissed her hair.

Lin Xige responded: "Me too, I gave you my only true heart, and I will never give it to anyone else, nor can I give it to anyone else..."

"I won't give it to anyone else either." Mu Chaoran tightened his arms, his palms against her back, "Wife, love is selfish and unique, and there is no room for a third person."

Lin Xige murmured what he had said: "There is no room for a third person..."

"Correct."

Lin Xige couldn't tell the truth from falsehood in Mu Chaoran's words.

Was he lying to her, coaxing her, or did he really have no affair with the woman in the restaurant?

"Hubby," Lin Xige asked tentatively, "If one day, a girl who is prettier than me, has a better figure than me, is more gentle and considerate than me, and has a better family background than me appears and pursues you, will you be with her?"

Mu Chaoran denied it without a second thought: "No. I only want you."

He acted without hesitation, which made Lin Xige want to be ecstatic and jump for joy.

She then asked, "No matter what happens, you will remain faithful to our marriage, right?"

"Of course, honey, this is the most basic." Mu Chaoran lowered his head and looked into her eyes. "When we got married, you said that what you can't tolerate the most is deception and betrayal. This is your bottom line."

"So you still remember..."

At that time, Lin Xige thought that no matter how deeply she loved Mu Chaoran, once he touched her bottom line, she would cut the Gordian knot and withdraw immediately, and would never sink again and again in such a messy relationship.

But now?

The slap in the face came so quickly.

Be it deception or betrayal, it seemed... as if Mu Chaoran had done it all.

And what about her?

Lost the initial straightforwardness and courage.

Love is such a terrible thing. It can change a person without anyone realizing it.

Lin Xige even looks down on herself now.

Mu Chaoran looked at her seriously and said, "I will remember every word you said. I will fulfill every promise I made to you. Not only in words, but also in actions, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Not only say it, but also do it.

He didn't know why Lin Xige was acting so abnormally for the time being. All he could do was to prove his sincerity over and over again.

He only loves her and will only have her.

Mu Chaoran exerted force with his arms, picked her up and carried her sideways, then walked quickly towards the bed.

After being apart for two days, he missed her terribly.

His kisses fell on her densely packed body. Lin Xige hooked her arms around his neck, but she felt unable to accept it. Both her body and mind were resisting his passion.

"Hubby, I... don't want to." Lin Xige said softly, "I want to rest."

Mu Chaoran stopped all his movements.

"Okay." He respected her and agreed.

Mu Chaoran turned over and got off her and slept beside her, but still held her in his arms.

The two people lay together quietly.

Couple's night talk.

"Hubby," Lin Xige rested her head on his arm, "Can you tell me what you do when you go on a business trip to Haicheng?"

"Meetings, meeting clients, socializing, etc. Honey, didn't I report all of this to you?"

He would send her messages every few minutes, with text and pictures, and he would even tell her what he had eaten for lunch.

Why now... is she asking questions?

Something is wrong, so wrong.

Thinking back to what Lin Xige said after she met him, about loyalty, about the only true love, about a better woman appearing...

Suddenly, Mu Chaoran had an idea in his mind.

Could it be that Lin Xige knew about his relationship with Han Jingjing?

In the past, when he came back from business trips, Lin Xige would never ask for his love like this, but would only express her longing for him.

He was more attached to her.

Apart from working, he did nothing else in Haicheng.

But this time, Mu Chaoran met Han Jingjing, and then Lin Xige's behavior changed.

But how did Lin Xige know that?
