Chen Xuan's heart sank instantly; this call really came at the wrong time.

Lin Wanxi and Ye Qingxian were sworn enemies, making his situation rather awkward at the moment.

If he answered, that wicked woman might say something reckless and worsen Lin Wanxi's misunderstandings.

But if he didn't answer, he'd look guilty, afraid to take the call in front of Lin Wanxi.

"What's wrong, Chen Xuan? Afraid to answer in front of me?"

Lin Wanxi crossed her arms and looked at him with a sardonic smile, "It's okay, I can step away. I won't eavesdrop."

"But you don't need to explain anything to me; I don't want to hear it."

"I haven't done anything wrong; why wouldn't I take the call?"

Chen Xuan pursed his lips and answered the call in front of Lin Wanxi, "Hello, Miss Ye, is there something you need?"

On the other end, Ye Qingxian paused for two seconds, "In the daytime, you call me 'little fairy,' but now I'm 'Miss Ye.' I bet Lin Wanxi is standing right next to you; that's why you called me that."

Sigh!

Chen Xuan almost gasped; what a clever little witch!

She made an accurate judgment just from one form of address.

"Miss Ye, let's not mess around. If you have something to say, please say it." Chen Xuan glanced at Lin Wanxi, who was expressionless as she looked at him.

Ha ha ha...!

Ye Qingxian laughed heartily, "Looks like I guessed right!"

"Are you fighting with Lin Wanxi? Are you under her interrogation?"

"Chen Xuan, a handsome man like you doesn't need to bother with such a bland woman."

"If she kicks you out, come stay at my place! I'll drive over to pick you up, as long as you say the word, I'll be there as fast as possible."

Chen Xuan secretly grimaced, this little witch was definitely doing it intentionally!

Clearly trying to provoke Lin Wanxi.

As for Lin Wanxi, her face was frighteningly dark, her eyes burning with anger.

"Ye Qingxian, you shameless vixen! Seducing someone else's husband, do you feel proud? Have you no shame?" Lin Wanxi shouted angrily.

Ye Qingxian immediately retaliated with ridicule, "Other people's husbands? I can't be bothered, but I'll definitely seduce Lin Wanxi's husband!"

"If Lin Wanxi lacks femininity and can't interest her own man, don't blame me for seducing him! Who asked me to be more charming than you?"

"Chen Xuan, isn't that right?"

Chen Xuan was very helpless, and said gruffly, "Ye Qingxian, you and Lin Wanxi have personal grievances. Don't drag me into it."

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!"

"Don't rush, I have one last thing to say."

Ye Qingxian quickly giggled sweetly, "Sister Zhang Lan asked me to tell you she's very satisfied with today's service. She'll arrange another meeting someday to go to my VIP room again."

With that, Ye Qingxian laughed coquettishly and hung up.

Damn it...

Chen Xuan clicked his tongue, the little witch took the opportunity to make trouble, making the matter even worse.

Lin Wanxi was already full of anger, "Chen Xuan, is this the explanation you want to give me?"

"You already slept with an old woman; what else is there to explain to me!"

"Lin Wanxi, do you really think I'm that kind of person? Any woman can sleep with me?"

Chen Xuan was getting a bit angry too, "Can't you tell that Ye Qingxian, that witch, is deliberately provoking you?"

Hmph!

Lin Wanxi snorted coldly, "I know Ye Qingxian's little schemes better than you!"

"But can you dare say you didn't do dirty things with rich woman Zhang Lan in a hotel room?"

"What dirty things did I do? Lin Wanxi, don't falsely accuse me!" Chen Xuan responded coldly.

Heh heh!

Lin Wanxi laughed colder, "Am I falsely accusing you? You and rich woman Zhang Lan made those disgusting sounds, do you think I didn't hear?"

"Chen Xuan, I don't want to hear any explanation from you, and you don't need to specifically explain anything to me."

"You're right, we're just contract spouses, and you can sleep with whoever you want. I have no right to interfere."

"You did indeed work hard to help the company open up new avenues; for this, I thank you! But at the same time, I look down on you! Using this way to achieve your goals makes me feel disgusted!"

Bang!

After saying that, Lin Wanxi slammed the door shut, directly shutting Chen Xuan out.

Chen Xuan felt inexplicable anger at this moment, all because of one phone call leading to a heated argument.

No trust at all between husband and wife!

Husband and wife...

Chen Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile, murmuring to himself, "What kind of husband and wife are we, without even the basic emotional foundation, let alone trust."

"Forget it, we were just a temporary arrangement, once I get the Jade Pendant and figure out where it came from, I should leave, there's no need to care about Lin Wanxi's misunderstandings."

Without saying more, Chen Xuan turned around, leaving to enter his own bedroom.

Their bedrooms were not just separated by a wall, but also divided their hearts, never able to come together.

There wasn't even an opportunity to calmly communicate with each other.

At night, with the lights off, Chen Xuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

"So annoying, why do I keep thinking about this issue."

"Let her think whatever she wants! Sleep!"

Chen Xuan forced himself not to think about Lin Wanxi's feelings.

On the other side of the wall, Lin Wanxi couldn't sleep either, furious and feeling wronged.

Even though there wasn't much deep emotion between her and Chen Xuan, he was her legal husband, and she couldn't tolerate his actions.

She also wanted to defend Chen Xuan, thinking it was all Ye Qingxian's sabotage and Chen Xuan wasn't like that.

But she couldn't convince herself.

Especially thinking back to the call, hearing Zhang Lan's tone made her heart ache.

"Chen Xuan, you're just a bastard!"

"When the company stabilizes, get as far away from me as possible!"

Lin Wanxi vented her sorrowful emotions, tears finally falling and soaking the pillow.

...

The next morning, Lin Wanxi's eyes were slightly red and swollen, clearly from crying the previous night.

Chen Xuan saw her haggard appearance and immediately felt softhearted.

He wanted to explain things properly to her, tell her the truth, but Lin Wanxi ignored him.

She directly grabbed her bag and drove out.

Chen Xuan looked helpless; let her go then.

Anyway, once Lin Zhiguo gives him the Jade Pendant in three days, he can leave.

And will have no further contact with Lin Wanxi.

At the same time, Zhou Ping'an learned that Lin Wanxi's company had opened up new avenues, and was furious.

Soon, he had his trusted subordinate investigate the truth.

"Damn it! It's that Chen Xuan again!"

"Today, kidnap Lin Wanxi for me; I must get rid of Chen Xuan!"
