Xu Qingcheng watched the two flirting and shrugged.

Who would have thought that the dignified and ruthless Lord of the Dark Night Pavilion, Mr. Jiu, would be so docile and obedient to his wife?

Men, huh?

There's no such thing as being averse to women.

Those who can remain reserved and aloof are simply those who haven't yet found a woman who can move their hearts!

Xu Qingcheng knew she couldn't stay any longer, so she vanished into the night.

The two people hiding in the corner stood face to face. Su Xi glared dangerously at the man, "You knew my identity all along?"

"yes."

Zhou Jingming honestly admitted it.

Su Xi punched him in anger, "You knew all along, yet you still deliberately played hide-and-seek with me, were you kidding me?"

Zhou Jingming held her hand, utterly helpless. "I'm the one who should be angry, but your temper flares up even faster than mine."

"What's there to be angry about?" Su Xi snorted.

As Su Xi, she is his wife.

As Xinglan, she is still his wife.

There's no difference!

"You're faking your identity and refusing to cooperate with me. I'm your husband, is this appropriate for you to do?"

Zhou Jingming's aggrieved tone amused Su Xi. "Just because I didn't cooperate, you teamed up with Xu Qingcheng to wait here and catch me red-handed? Zhou Jingming, you're really cunning."

"If I don't do this, when will you confess to me? Or are you planning to keep it a secret for the rest of your life?" Given Su Xi's temperament, she might actually do that.

Her years of working in obscurity are enough to prove how patient she is.

Su Xi said guiltily, "Whether I tell you or not isn't really that important."

“How can it not be important?” Zhou Jingming straightened her shoulders, his eyes seemingly holding sparks, looking at her tenderly and affectionately. “If you tell me, it proves you trust me; if you don’t, it means you don’t care about me.”

"Xi'er, I..."

Zhou Jingming no longer wanted to hide it; his mind was filled with thoughts of revealing his affection for her.

Just as he was about to speak, a cute child's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Brother, did you get Sister Xinglan's autographed photo?"

A tiny shadow came rushing towards them.

It was Lele who came looking for Zhou Jingming.

Su Xi hurriedly pushed Zhou Jingming away. Just as she was about to take off her mask, Lele recognized her at a glance, "Sister Xinglan."

"Wow! It really is Sister Xinglan! I've finally met her in person!"

Su Xi didn't have time to take off her mask, so she could only greet Lele, "Hello!"

Lele boldly approached and asked, "Sister, can I get your autograph? I want lots and lots of autographs to give to the children at the orphanage."

Su Xi nodded, "Of course."

After saying that, Su Xi took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote her name in the moonlight.

Lele stared at Su Xi's mask with admiration until Su Xi handed her a thick stack of autographed photos, saying, "They're all signed."

"Thank you, sister."

Lele was overjoyed.

Su Xi said "You're welcome," and pinched Lele's cheek. "I have things to do, so I'll be going now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared.

Zhou Jingming wanted to chase after them, but Lele grabbed his hand from behind, "Brother, are you kissing Sister Xinglan?"

The little guy looked from behind and saw the two of them standing very close, naively thinking it was something inappropriate for children.

“My brother has fallen in love with someone else; Sister Su Xi will be heartbroken.”

Although Lele also likes Sister Xinglan, her favorite is still Sister Suxi.

It's wrong for my brother to secretly be with Xinglan behind Su Xi's back.

Zhou Jingming smiled helplessly, bent down and picked her up, "No, that's not true. I only like Sister Su Xi."

"Really?" Lele asked, shaking her head.

As Zhou Jingming watched Su Xi's departing figure, he assured her, "Brother doesn't lie."

"Then let's pinky swear."

Lele held up her little finger.

Zhou Jingming and she got together.

The little guy said seriously, "We've made a pinky promise, and it'll last a hundred years. Brother, you're not allowed to bully Sister Xi'er. You have to love and protect her for the rest of your life."

Yes, it will.

Zhou Jingming's expression was extremely firm.

She was the woman he had loved since childhood, how could he bear to bully her?

"Brother asked Si Nan and Sister Hua Qing to come and play with you. I'm going out to take care of some things. I'll come find Lele later, okay?" Zhou Jingming's mind was completely focused on Su Xi. He wanted to catch up with her and have a proper talk with her.

Lele is a very sensible and well-behaved child, and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Jingming called Si Nan.

Soon after, Si Nan and Hua Qing came looking for him. Zhou Jingming handed Lele over to them and then went to find Su Xi.

Just then, Su Xi was about to go find Fu Yu when Xu Lang suddenly jumped out and blocked her way.

"Senior sister..."

Seeing Xu Lang's admiring look, Su Xi reached out to stop him from getting closer, "Where's Fu Yu?"

"Senior sister, your singing was amazing, and your dancing was absolutely divine, unmatched by anyone." Xu Lang reminisced about the performance, his face full of amazement.

He knew his senior could sing, but he had never seen her dance.

She's just as good as a professional dancer.

"I'm asking you where Sister Yu is?" Su Xi pinched her brow. So many years have passed, and her junior brother hasn't grown up at all.

"I'm still dealing with my fans and can't get away for a while. If my senior sister wants to chat, I have plenty of time. I can chat with her until tomorrow without any problem."

Su Xi's lips twitched. "You really have a lot of free time. I'll have Fu Yu arrange more gigs for you so you can create more value for the company."

She didn't have time to chat with him, so she pushed him away and tried to leave.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed by ahead.

Su Xi thought she had mistaken someone for someone else, so she rubbed her eyes and made sure she wasn't mistaken before calling out the other person's name.

"Lin Ye?"

Lin, who was waiting for someone not far away, looked up and was surprised to see Su Xi. "What are you doing here?"

Su Xi laughed, "I just came to join in the fun, what about you?"

"I came with a colleague. She likes Xinglan and wants an autographed photo." Lin Ye said, glancing around. "Jingming didn't come with you?"

Su Xi pointed behind her, "I brought Lele with me too, he's with us."

Upon hearing this, a hint of loneliness flashed across Lin Ye's calm eyes.

Previously, Su Xi treated Lele like a treasure and never allowed Lele to appear in public. Now, she actually brought Lele out to participate in Xinglan's fan meeting and entrusted her to Zhou Jingming's care so confidently.

It seems she really intends to settle down and live a good life with Zhou Jingming.

"It's fine." Lin also gave a wry smile, her head slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

Su Xi was a little unaccustomed to his behavior. "What's wrong with you?"

"without……"

Just as Lin was about to speak, a soft, melodious female voice interrupted, "Dr. Lin."
