Su Linlang nodded slightly, "I understand what's going on now. From a psychological perspective, as per my understanding, your friend's wife is caught in an emotional dilemma."

"In this situation, it's hard to avoid pitfalls, such as self-doubt. She's uncertain whether her husband genuinely cares for her or has ulterior motives."

"Adding the external factors of interference and provocation, it's easy to develop a mindset of anxious overthinking. Externally, it manifests as you've mentioned, perpetually creating choices to probe."

"To put it simply, it's a way to gain self-security and self-validation."

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up immediately, "You mean, this situation arises because the woman has developed feelings for the man?"

Su Linlang nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's definitely the case."

"If she hadn't developed feelings, she wouldn't be acting unusually at all; she would simply ignore the other's existence coldly."

Chen Xuan felt relieved; it turns out that's what it was all about.

Doesn't that mean Lin Wanxi has genuine feelings for him? Ha ha ha.

"Professor Su, you truly are a psychology expert! Straight to the point, hitting the mark!" Chen Xuan praised with a smile.

"You're giving me too much credit. I've just studied psychology; I wouldn't call myself an expert." Su Linlang waved her hand with a smile.

"Regardless, I thank you on behalf of my friend."

Chen Xuan raised his glass with a smile, "To you, Professor Su, I toast!"

"No need to be so polite. I'll still need to rely on you for my treatment." Su Linlang smiled warmly.

After lunch, Chen Xuan didn't linger much longer and stood up to say goodbye.

After seeing Chen Xuan off, Su Linlang felt inexplicably melancholic.

The more she interacted closely with Chen Xuan, the more she realized he was excellent in every regard, an ideal husband candidate.

She also developed a fondness for Chen Xuan, but unfortunately, he already had a family, making it destined to be a missed connection in this lifetime.

Su Linlang shook her head slightly and sighed, deciding not to think about it anymore to avoid unnecessary distress.

...

After leaving Su Linlang's apartment, Chen Xuan drove directly to Ye Qingxian's cosmetics company.

Forcing his way into Ye Qingxian's office, no one dared to stop him.

"Chen Xuan, what brings you to see me today?" Ye Qingxian greeted him with a cheerful smile.

Hmph!

Chen Xuan huffed lightly, "Ye Qingxian, I know all about the tricks you pulled a few days ago."

"Did you forget what I warned you about? Or did you really think I wouldn't kill you?"

Ye Qingxian had anticipated this day would come and showed no fear.

Instead, she said with a smile, "Chen Xuan, I don't deny it, but I wasn't playing games with you."

"It's a showdown between Lin Wanxi and me, or rather, a bet we made! I did use some tricks, but from a business standpoint, it's justifiable."

"I was simply winning the bet my way. In plain terms, it was my rivalry with Lin Wanxi, which she also agreed to, right?"

This left Chen Xuan momentarily speechless.

"Regardless of anything, your antics were meant to disrupt the relationship between Lin Wanxi and me."

"You have sinister intentions and are up to no good!" Chen Xuan said coldly.

Ye Qingxian laughed heartily, "That's right, I did want to come between your relationship, ideally have you two part ways."

"That way, you could come into my arms, and I become your wife. Wouldn't that be great?"

Chen Xuan gave a cold smile, "Ye Qingxian, I've told you before, I don't like manipulative women!"

"Your words are a bit one-sided!"

Ye Qingxian revealed a coquettish grievance, "I am a scheming woman, but not with you. I genuinely love you and want to be with you."

Chen Xuan waved his hand with a stern face, "All I can say is, don't waste your efforts!"

"Even though I don't understand your exact motive, your love for me is definitely not pure!"

"You still suspect me of ulterior motives?" Ye Qingxian looked at him angrily, "Must I prove it with my death?"

"Fine, I'll prove it to you! Today, I'll risk my life to make a statement!"

Saying this, Ye Qingxian directly opened the window, climbing onto the windowsill as if she was going to jump.

Chen Xuan was instantly shocked, not expecting Ye Qingxian to take such a drastic action.

By the looks of it, she was really ready to jump!

"What a crazy woman!"

Chen Xuan hurriedly reached out to pull her back, "Get down quickly! You're taking this too far!"

"You don't believe in my sincere feelings? This is the only way I can prove myself." Ye Qingxian's eyes reddened, filled with a sense of grievance.

"Come down first." Chen Xuan pulled Ye Qingxian down from the windowsill.

As a result, Ye Qingxian lost her footing and fell towards Chen Xuan.

"Ah!"

Ye Qingxian let out a startled cry.

Chen Xuan hurriedly caught Ye Qingxian, and the two of them fell together onto the office floor.

Ye Qingxian seized the opportunity to wrap her arms around Chen Xuan's neck, looking utterly frightened, "I was scared to death..."

"Let go!" Chen Xuan said in a low voice; perhaps the fall was accidental before, but this was definitely deliberate.

"I won't let go!"

Ye Qingxian wore a mischievous look and suddenly kissed Chen Xuan's lips firmly.

In an instant, Chen Xuan's eyes widened as a surge of electricity coursed through his entire body…
