Chen Xuan didn't give a direct response, but his impression of Ye Qingxian changed accordingly.

"Have you found any results from your investigation?" Chen Xuan looked at Ye Qingxian, changing the subject.

Ye Qingxian pursed her lips and shook her head slightly, "For now, I've only found this much, and haven't uncovered the real identity of the culprit."

"I feel that there are deep waters here; this isn't an ordinary vendetta, and the mastermind is also not average."

Chen Xuan didn't reply, as it was just as he had expected.

Three years ago, he had investigated secretly but didn't gain much, so how could Ye Qingxian uncover the truth?

"Qingxian, no matter what, thank you for everything you've done for me," Chen Xuan said softly.

Ye Qingxian giggled, "I don't want to hear your thanks, as long as you can see my true intentions."

"I will continue to follow up on this case, and once any new clues are found, I'll inform you immediately."

"Alright, let's leave it at that then."

Chen Xuan responded, "I'll take these documents with me for now. This matter must not be publicized, to avoid alerting the enemy."

"I understand, all investigations are conducted in secret and won't leak," Ye Qingxian nodded with a smile.

Chen Xuan said no more and turned to leave the office.

A-Xiu visibly sighed in relief and asked in astonishment, "Miss, why did you just tell Chen Xuan that the Jade Pendant isn't in your hands?"

"Doesn't this mean the bet with Lin Wanxi is over? And there seems to be no gain!"

Ye Qingxian sneered, "This bet with Lin Wanxi was just a ruse from the beginning."

"Chen Xuan has already learned the truth. Lin Wanxi is using this matter to test him. Do you think they can continue to get along?"

"It will inevitably lead to further emotional cracks! That's my biggest gain!"

A-Xiu smacked her lips, "You're right, but Chen Xuan is not ordinary; he just doesn't know the inside story."

"Once he detects it, and knows you've meddled with the Jade Pendant, who knows what the consequences will be!"

Ye Qingxian chuckled, "I know with Chen Xuan's wits, he will eventually find the flaws."

"But there's no need to worry; the moment I showed him the investigation documents, it was a remedial measure."

"His attitude toward me has clearly changed! As long as I continue to strive, I can surely win over his heart!"

"At that point, it will be the true moment of victory or defeat between me and Lin Wanxi!"

A-Xiu asked oddly, "Miss, are you really falling for Chen Xuan? Or are you just acting, making him so infatuated that he's willing to be at your service?"

Ye Qingxian only smiled and didn't answer.

...

After leaving Ye Qingxian's company, Chen Xuan smoked two cigarettes in a row.

Looking at the investigative documents related to him in his hands, his feelings were very complex.

He was also starting to get confused now, whether Ye Qingxian's sacrifices for him were genuine or if she was playing a bitter trick on him.

To acquire these documents, without spending a lot of mental and physical effort, would be impossible.

If Ye Qingxian was still acting, she was putting too much into it!

If Ye Qingxian was sincerely sacrificing for him, then it's rare for her to have such a heart.

After all, Lin Wanxi, his wife, had never sacrificed so much for him.

Chen Xuan shook his head, put the documents aside, and drove away.

After returning home, Chen Xuan calmly looked at Lin Wanxi, "The Jade Pendant is still with you. You intentionally said it was taken by Ye Qingxian to test me, isn't it?"

Lin Wanxi's delicate brows furrowed, "Is this what Ye Qingxian told you? Didn't she admit that the Jade Pendant was with her?"

Chen Xuan said expressionlessly, "Lin Wanxi, I just want to hear an honest answer now, is the Jade Pendant with you?"

Lin Wanxi frowned even more deeply, "Yes, the Jade Pendant is with me, and I didn't give it to Ye Qingxian."

Her thoughts raced, just what kind of game was Ye Qingxian playing.

Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, "I just don't understand, why do I have to be tested in this way?"

"To men, this is simply torture! It can make a person feel mentally and physically exhausted, damaging marriage and feelings, don't you understand?"

"Is that how you see it? Do you think I'm deliberately torturing you, making you feel bad, is that it?" Lin Wanxi's eyes were filled with resentment.

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "Lin Wanxi, let's not dwell too much on this issue."

"I'll just say one thing; if you want to have a good relationship with me, then open your heart and accept each other, don't do these pointless tests, okay?"

Lin Wanxi was a bit angry, "You're indirectly saying I'm pointless, aren't you? I'm just puzzled, what did Ye Qingxian say to you that made you come back and criticize me?"

"Do you believe what she said, and when it comes to me, it's deliberate torture and I'm pointless, is that it?"

Chen Xuan was very speechless, and directly put the documents in front of Lin Wanxi, "Take a look yourself!"

"These are all things Ye Qingxian did for me quietly. Setting aside her schemes, these investigation documents are the real deal!"

"Ye Qingxian's sacrifices for me are all concrete actions! You want me to make a choice? Tell me, how should I choose?"

Sigh!

Lin Wanxi was shocked, and quickly looked at those investigation documents.
