Chapter 170 Seeking True Heart

Su Mi turned his face away and didn't look at him.

This was clearly her acquiescence.

Xiao Xuanjin straightened her head and made her face 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, there were more than one, "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 two were hugging each other."

"Hug? Do you believe it?"

Xiao Xuanjin entangled her hair with his fingers and patiently explained, "I don't need to lie to you. Do you think any kind of 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 previous arrogant attitude, she chose to believe him for the time being and made things clear, "Who is the one wearing the cheongsam?"

Xiao Xuanjin thought for a moment, "The woman who makes me prone to trypophobia?"

"What?"

Su Mi was confused for a moment before she realized that he was making fun of the densely packed 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 sadness.

At this moment she was like a fragile piece of 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 cares about these things. She just feels like she has just woken up from a dream and doesn't want to have any delusions about anything.

Su Mi didn't say anything, a tear slid down and soaked into her hair, "If you want to take revenge on me, you shouldn't do it this way."

After he finished speaking, I felt him wipe away my tears with his fingertips. His movements were very gentle and his voice was low and hoarse. "Revenge? If I wanted revenge, would I still be here to coax 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 he was mocking his own misplaced sincerity.

She recalled what he had done during this time. He had already restrained his edge and no longer hurt her.

This also made her almost forget what he really was like, and how he would be reckless and ruthless with hatred.

Thinking of this, she was afraid that she had angered him like this, and he might 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 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 the photo, I thought about everything that happened during this period. The only reason I could come up with was that you wanted to embarrass me in the same way, because even my subconscious mind felt that I would not be forgiven."

She tentatively grabbed the hem of his clothes, and her voice became a little lower. "If what I said just now hurt you seriously, I apologize, but... please believe that I didn't mean it. I just can't face my past 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 will 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 sex with her tonight?"

Whether the photo is real or not remains to be verified, but the person involved, Xiao Xuanjin, is definitely aware of it.

"Intimate?"

"Um."

"no."

"Did she ever get 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 wine on me. 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 that time?

However, it is not impossible to create an ambiguous atmosphere with the light in the photo.

There is also a possibility that the photo was processed in post-production.

Su Mi thought that he smelled of red wine, but it was impossible for the smell of perfume to appear just by touching him, especially when the smell was so strong.

"So you hugged her?"

"no."

"Did you leave your coat?"

"After I spilled the wine, I had nothing to wear."

That made sense; someone must have done something to his coat while 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 was feeling uneasy.

They always feel that there is an invisible and impenetrable net trying to restrain 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."

"To you?"

"I've seen a lot of little tricks like this."

Xiao Xuanjin paused for a moment, staring at her, "But I haven't gained nothing."

"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 he lowered his 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 when she saw the photo just now, her heart felt heavy as if a stone was pressing on it, just like the last time she saw someone chatting him up, and the inexplicable possessive desire was at work, coming quietly but leaving traces.

"How can you be so kind as to thank the troublemakers?"

Xiao Xuanjin suddenly said, "Wife, I'm going back to Huacheng tomorrow."

"Ah, so fast?"

"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 find you when I'm done."

"good."

…

It was late at night, and Xiao Xuanjin was still awake. He propped up his elbows on the pillow, looking at the woman sleeping beside him.

When he returns to Hwaseong, he will ask her for a definite answer. There can be no delay any longer.

So as to avoid too much trouble at night.

His thoughts gradually drifted away. He believed that she had done it unintentionally regarding the past. No matter what the reason was or who had forced her, seeing that she had been trapped in it for 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 was helplessly doing those things, she had never been sincere to herself.

Was it his will or was she hesitant at the time?

Everything can be fake, but he just wants to find the true heart.

Including now, apart from 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 grab.

It is also a stepping stone for him to inject flesh and blood into this relationship again.
