Following closely, anger appeared on Lin Wanxi's face, "Chen Xuan, what do you mean? Are you deliberately bringing this out to compare me with Ye Qingxian? Are you saying I'm not as good as her?"

At this moment, Chen Xuan felt incredibly exhausted, "Lin Wanxi, is that what I mean?"

"I just want you to see clearly how much Ye Qingxian has done for me and what you have done for me."

"If a couple wants to get along harmoniously, there shouldn't be groundless suspicions! And don't do things that damage the relationship!"

After speaking, Chen Xuan stood up, "Think about it yourself! How we go forward in the future between us."

Turned around and walked out the door, going out to get some fresh air.

Lin Wanxi's eyes instantly reddened, and she didn't know how she and Chen Xuan got to this point.

Originally, the two of them were doing well, and the relationship was steadily progressing; she was also willing to try to accept him.

The so-called test seemed just like a kind of emotional seasoning to her, harmless.

How did it instead... evolve into such a situation?

Lin Wanxi couldn't hold back the anger, and immediately took out her phone, dialing Ye Qingxian.

"Ye Qingxian, you slutty fox, what exactly did you say to Chen Xuan? You didn't keep your end of the bet, you're just a despicable person!" Lin Wanxi said coldly.

Ye Qingxian didn't care and sneered with contempt, "Lin Wanxi, your words are really brainless, and to think you're the president of the company."

"Between you and me, it's a competitive relationship. Everyone wins by their own ability, where's the notion of being despicable?"

Hmph!

Lin Wanxi snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't see through your tricks. It's just trying to make trouble between me and Chen Xuan so you can sit back and watch me make a fool of myself!"

"I will not let your scheme succeed! Don't even think about me divorcing Chen Xuan, letting you take advantage!"

"Haha, fine, then let's just wait and see who can really have the last laugh!" Ye Qingxian sneered and hung up the phone.

Lin Wanxi picked up that document and wanted to tear it up on the spot.

But she stopped as soon as she tore open a little corner.

She wanted to see what important information was in these investigation documents that made Chen Xuan value them so much.

After roughly going through it, Lin Wanxi's eyes showed an uncertain gleam—Chen Xuan's parents were brutally killed, the murderer unknown!

"Could it be that what Chen Xuan said before was all true? That Jade Pendant... is truly an heirloom of the Chen Family?"

Lin Wanxi hesitated, she had to investigate this personally, to come to a conclusion.

...

At that moment, Chen Xuan was wandering alone outside, easing the oppressive emotions inside.

In his heart, he was willing to live with Lin Wanxi all along and very much acknowledged her as his wife.

But now it seems...

Lin Wanxi's various actions had altered the essence of their once beautiful marriage.

He couldn't accept such a Lin Wanxi, it was too mentally and physically draining.

At this time, wanting to talk to someone, he immediately thought of the understanding Su Linlang, the only woman who understood him.

But contacting her at this time was inevitably inconvenient.

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly and never called Su Linlang.

However, Su Linlang called him instead.

"Chen Xuan, I'm really sorry to bother you, I just wanted to ask how to boil those herbs?"

"I'm not very knowledgeable, afraid of boiling them wrong and rendering them ineffective."

Su Linlang felt a bit embarrassed, feeling very uneasy.

Chen Xuan laughed helplessly, wasn't this just an opportunity heaven sent to him?

"What a coincidence, I was just about to call you."

"Don't worry, I'll come over to help you boil the herbs right away."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan rushed to Su Linlang's rental apartment at the fastest speed.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you, making you come over so late at night." Su Linlang, in her loungewear, opened the door for Chen Xuan.

"It's okay, I was just out for a walk anyway, haha."

Chen Xuan chuckled softly, "Let's boil the herbs first, curing illnesses is the priority."

The two went to the kitchen, where Chen Xuan personally boiled the herbs for Su Linlang with a serious demeanor.

Su Linlang watched from the side, lost in a trance.

Inexplicably, she imagined Chen Xuan as her boyfriend, personally boiling herbs for her, feeling very happy.

"Oh dear, what am I thinking?"

Su Linlang hurriedly shook her head, her face blushing, heart pounding.

"Teacher Su, what did you just say?" Chen Xuan turned to look at her.

"Ah? N-nothing, I just want to thank you for helping me with the herbs."

Su Linlang quickly waved her hands to cover up her feelings.

Chen Xuan smiled and continued with the task at hand.

Very soon, he finished boiling the herbs and let Su Linlang take them.

"It's so bitter, really hard to drink!" Su Linlang grimaced endlessly.

Causing Chen Xuan to burst into laughter, "Good medicine is bitter to the mouth but good for the illness! Just stick it out for a week, and you won't have to suffer anymore."

"Mm, meeting you is my greatest luck, a blessing from heaven." After saying this, Su Linlang realized her slip of the tongue and hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I mean you helping me with my illness."

Hahaha...

Chen Xuan laughed heartily, feeling truly relaxed when with Su Linlang.

Without Lin Wanxi constantly posing challenges, causing distress and confusion.

Nor the scheming nature of Ye Qingxian, requiring constant vigilance.

Unfortunately, Su Linlang was not his girlfriend, they were merely friends.

"Teacher Su, you've always been single, haven't you thought about getting a boyfriend?" Chen Xuan asked instinctively.
