Chapter 170 Seeking True Heart
Su Mi turned away and didn't look at him.
She obviously agreed like this.
Xiao Xuanjin turned her head so that she was facing him. "Tell me, what did you see?"
Su Mi didn't want to beat around the bush with him, "Who is that woman?"
"Which woman?"
What did he mean by this, was there more than one, "there are many?"
"There were quite a few in the box, but I couldn't even see their faces clearly."
Did you really not see clearly? In that photo, the two of them were so close.
Su Mi didn't believe him, "Nonsense, you guys are hugging each other."
"Hug? Do you believe it?"
Xiao Xuanjin entangled his fingers with her hair that was scattered on the side and explained patiently, "I don't need to lie to you. Do you think any woman can catch my eye?"
This is true. When he was in school, there were so many girls around him, but he wouldn't even look at them twice.
Su Mi could see the unattainable look in his eyes. Recalling his arrogant attitude in the past, she chose to believe him for the time being and made things clear. "Who is that person in the cheongsam?"
Xiao Xuanjin thought for a moment, "The woman who makes me prone to trypophobia?"
"What?"
Su Mi was confused before she realized that he was making fun of the dense polka dot patterns on the beautiful woman's cheongsam.
Even at this time, he still has the mind to joke.
Xiao Xuanjin confirmed it by looking at her expression, "Just because of her?"
"Someone sent me a photo in which you two looked quite intimate." When she said this, she bit her lip, her voice shrouded in bitterness.
At this moment she was like a fragile porcelain.
Xiao Xuanjin's eyes darkened. He touched her face and rubbed her eyelashes with his fingertips. "Photos? Then tell me, are you jealous now?"
She no longer cared about these things. She felt as if she had just woken up from a dream and would not think about anything.
Su Mi turned away, a tear slid down and soaked into her hair, "If you want to take revenge on me, you shouldn't use this method."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his fingertips wipe away the tears. His movements were very gentle, and his voice was low and hoarse. "Revenge? If I wanted revenge, would I still be here coaxing you now?"
"If I wanted revenge, would I still follow you back to Jiangcheng to take care of your family?"
"If I want revenge, wouldn't it be more direct to deal with Wan Tai now?"
Su Mi looked at him in surprise. He sneered, with darkness and mockery in his eyes, as if mocking his own misplaced sincerity.
She recalled what he had done during this period, and he felt that he had softened his edge and no longer hurt her.
This also made her almost forget what he really was like, and how reckless and uncompromising he would be when filled with hatred.
Thinking of this, she was afraid that she had angered him and whether he would do something. "I'm sorry."
She also didn't understand why she was the one who apologized in the end.
However, Xiao Xuanjin had lost interest. He sat up and turned his back to her without looking at her.
Su Mi stood up and looked at the back of his head, "Xiao Xuanjin, do you want to hear my true feelings?"
Without waiting for his answer, she continued, "When I saw that photo, I thought about everything that happened during this period. The only reason I can come up with is that you want to embarrass me in the same way, because even I subconsciously feel that I will not be forgiven."
She tentatively grabbed the hem of his shirt, her voice lowered a bit, "If what I said just now hurt you badly, I apologize, but... please believe that I didn't mean it. I just can't face my former self."
Xiao Xuanjin seemed to sigh lightly and turned to look at her, "Where's the photo? Show it to me."
"I can't see it. I'll ask someone to check it tomorrow to see who sent it."
She paused and asked, "But now you have to tell me, did you have any intimate actions with her tonight?"
Whether the photo is real or not remains to be proven, but the person involved, Xiao Xuanjin, is definitely aware of it.
"close?"
"Um."
"No."
"Has she ever been close to you?"
Xiao Xuanjin thought carefully for a moment, "If I have to say it, it's probably... she was pushed by someone and almost bumped into me, and accidentally spilled some wine. She came over to help me wipe it with a tissue, but I pushed her away."
The angle in the photo is so tricky, could it be from that time?
However, it is not impossible to create an ambiguous atmosphere with the lighting in the photo.
There is also a possibility that the photo was post-processed.
Su Mi thought that he smelled of red wine, but it was impossible for the perfume to smell like that just by touching him, especially since the smell was so strong.
"So you hugged her?"
"No."
"Did you ever leave your coat?"
"After I spilled the wine, I didn't wear it anymore."
This makes sense. Someone must have done something to his coat when he wasn't paying attention.
The person behind this really has good intentions.
That woman must have been sent by the other party.
Su Mi felt uneasy.
They always feel that there is an invisible and impenetrable net trying to bind them.
Xiao Xuanjin saw her worry and comforted her, "This matter is not directed at you, it is obviously directed at me. Don't worry, that person is only targeting me."
"Targeting you?"
"I've seen a lot of tricks like this."
Xiao Xuanjin paused for a moment, staring at her, "But I haven't gained nothing either."
"What?"
Xiao Xuanjin put his hands on her shoulders and said, "It's worth it to see you get angry with me because of a woman."
The straightforward look in his eyes was too obvious. Su Mi's face felt a little hot and she lowered her head.
Xiao Xuanjin touched the side of her face and said, "I have to thank the brother behind the scenes for helping me."
Su Mi also reflected deeply and had to admit that just now, when she saw the photo, her heart felt heavy as if a stone was pressing on it, just like the last time she saw someone chatting up him, the inexplicable possessive desire was at work, coming quietly but leaving traces.
"How can you be so kind as to thank the people who caused the riot?"
Xiao Xuanjin suddenly said, "Wife, I'm going back to Huacheng tomorrow."
"Ah, so soon?"
"Well, there's something to take care of."
Su Mi was a little absent-minded, "Oh."
Xiao Xuanjin smiled and raised his hand to hook her nose. "Why? Are you reluctant to let me go?"
It is a beautiful thing to follow your own heart.
Su Mi threw herself into his arms and said, "I'll come back to you when I'm done."
"good."
…
It was late at night, and Xiao Xuanjin couldn't fall asleep. He propped up his elbows on the pillow and looked at the woman sleeping beside him.
When he returns to Huacheng, he will ask her for a definite answer; there can be no further delay.
So as to avoid any more trouble.
His thoughts drifted away, thinking about the past. He believed that she had done it unintentionally. No matter what the reason was or who forced her, seeing that she had been trapped in it for all these years, suffering and unable to escape, he no longer wanted to pursue the matter.
But there is one thing he must confirm.
That is, when she had no choice but to do those things, did she ever really love herself?
Was it just his wishful thinking back then or did she actually waver?
Everything can be fake, but he just wants to find the true heart.
Including now, besides the words of compensation she said, is there anything else.
Does she still have any concern or attachment to him in her heart?
This was the last thing he wanted to hold on to.
It is also a step for him to inject flesh and blood into this relationship.
