"Hmph, don't sweet talk me with those honeyed words. Excited to see me? More like scared out of your wits to see me, huh!"

Lin Tong sneered, her tone carrying a touch of sarcasm and mockery, "Now, here's a perfectly legitimate chance to fool around with that vixen you fancy, and I've just caught you. You're probably hoping I'd vanish sooner rather than later, right?"

"Uh, my... my wife, what are you saying? How could I possibly think that way? There's nothing of the sort!"

Ye Xuan righteously declared, "I admit, I was with Liu Ying last night, but it was absolutely not fooling around or being reckless! It's an act that naturally flows when feelings run deep, and I will take full responsibility for her! But that's on another matter, I haven't forgotten you at all. In my heart, you've always been the number one woman, the woman I love most in this life! Please, don't think otherwise."

"The words sound nice, but who knows if they're just flowery deceit? You, I can't trust, nine out of ten things from your mouth are lies, and you have countless ways to trick women! Do you think I'm a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who's so easily fooled by you?"

Lin Tong scoffed, though she said she didn't believe him, her eyes obviously softened a bit.

This scene, naturally, did not escape Ye Xuan's observation. His eyes flickered slightly and he immediately reached out to grab her small hand, pulling Lin Tong into his embrace.

Noticing his actions, Lin Tong raised an eyebrow, thinking Ye Xuan was about to take liberties again, and was just about to resist when she heard Ye Xuan's emotionally charged words: "Wife, everything I've said comes from the heart. No matter the misunderstandings you have towards me or how you view me, I sincerely thank you! It's your generosity and broad-mindedness, overlooking personal grievances, that accepted Miaochan and Yumo, solving the biggest issue in my heart!"

"Besides, I also want to say thank you for traveling tirelessly to Wolong Mountain to find my master to save me. Having such a gentle, virtuous, and understanding wife is the luckiest thing in my life, Ye Xuan! With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for? Thank the heavens for gifting you to me!"

Ye Xuan continued passionately, "Moreover, aside from these thanks, I owe you an apology! The reason I didn't immediately tell you about Miaochan and the others is not to deceive you, but because I was worried you couldn't accept it and would leave me. What I didn't expect was your reasonableness and magnanimity, not only accepting them but also not blaming me!"

"I apologize! It was my narrow-mindedness before, always thinking you would mind and see you as a selfish, petty woman! That was my mistake, and I must formally apologize to you. Moreover, I guarantee on my integrity that I'll never hide anything from you again."

"Wife, everything I've said to you today is the absolute truth, not a single word false! There's no deception, so please accept my gratitude and apology, otherwise, I won't eat or sleep in peace!"

After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he slyly wiped the corner of his eye, as if his own words moved him.

Hearing this, Lin Tong was also very touched, her eyes even slightly reddening and becoming moist!

During this period, she made many concessions for Ye Xuan, bearing all the pain on her own, even sacrificing the right of a woman to exclusively enjoy love, allowing other women to share her husband!

For what? Isn't it just to gain Ye Xuan's heartfelt affection?

Although Ye Xuan treated her well before, deep down, she always felt there was a barrier between them, and they weren't genuinely honest with each other!

But now, the barrier between them has finally been torn open! Lin Tong felt that her sacrifice wasn't in vain and finally saw a return. How could she not be thrilled and happy?

In her stirred emotions, Lin Tong, not caring about her shyness, actively hugged Ye Xuan, murmuring, "Husband, I accept your gratitude and apology! And I'm happy that you were honest with me about all this! Truly! The compromises and sacrifices I've made for you before are all worth it!"

Ye Xuan hugged Lin Tong in return, secretly feeling relieved, and said solemnly, "Wife, since we are a couple, some things don't need to be overly spoken of. Our hearts feel the connection. But to reassure you, I must solemnly say, no matter how many women I might have, in my heart, you'll always be the first, the woman I love most!"

Between people, there's mutual respect, especially in a marriage. Lin Tong gave him enough respect, so of course, he should respect her in return.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tong was overjoyed, tears rolling down her cheeks as she leaned into Ye Xuan's embrace, speaking with tender affection, "Husband, thank you for your promise! Marrying you in this life... I have no regrets!"

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, hugging Lin Tong tightly for a moment before releasing her, facing her directly, hesitating slightly, he finally spoke, "Wife, there's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you, regarding me and Liu Ying..."

But before he could finish, Lin Tong waved him off, "No need to say it, I already know about you and her! Getting to where you are now wasn't easy for either of you; you've both been through a lot. Since you love each other, I understand."

Though she and Liu Ying had disagreements before, her impression of Liu Ying changed significantly after the previous incident when Ye Xuan was comatose!

Therefore, she won't interfere in this matter.

Besides, Liu Ying was willing to sacrifice herself to save Ye Xuan, and just for this point alone, Lin Tong cannot help but admire her! It was a great favor to their family, so Lin Tong naturally won't shut her out.

Surely enough, upon hearing Lin Tong's words, Ye Xuan's eyes brightened immediately. He laughed heartily, saying, "Wife, you're just wonderful! I knew you'd understand me; you truly are my good, obedient wife! Come, let's kiss to celebrate."

With that, he leaned in and planted a peck on Lin Tong's cheek with a smacking sound.

"Remember, if you dare go back on your words today, your good wife won't let you off easily!"

Lin Tong glared at Ye Xuan with her beautiful eyes, huffing coldly, then swung her little fist at him as a warning before getting up to leave.

"Let's go, get up quickly, and brush your teeth and wash your face! There are a lot of people outside, don't keep them waiting."

"Okay."

Ye Xuan agreed, promptly getting up to dress and groom himself.

Soon after, he followed Lin Tong downstairs.
