761 Coming Clean

Xi Chenxiao fell into deep thought when he heard Su Jin’s question. Xi Tian had sent someone to investigate the matter; it’s possible that something fell through the cracks. Moreover, the way Bai Xue did things was completely different from what he remembered about the young girl. Although she was very young back then, he could tell that their styles were very different.

After Xi Chenxiao ordered his men to detain Bai Xue, he gave Xi Tian a chance to redeem himself. Xi Tian was ordered to investigate Bai Xue’s background thoroughly to find out if she was really the girl from back then. If Xi Tian failed again, Xi Chenxiao would not be sympathetic; he would make Xi Tian wish that he was dead. Xi Tian rushed out immediately when he received the order, afraid that Xi Chenxiao would castrate him.

After a few days of investigation, Xi Tian kneeled before Xi Chenxiao in cold sweat. He did not expect his men to be so unreliable. He also did not expect that Bai Xue would bribe so many people, even fake evidence to get close to Xi Chenxiao. Xi Chenxiao was furious when he found out. He immediately ordered people to sever the tendons in all of Bai Xue’s limbs before sending her back to where she came from.

After doing all that, Xi Chenxiao was even more afraid that Su Jin would leave him. After all, he had done those things with Bai Xue the other night. But the strange thing was that Su Jin did not make any noise in the past few days and was leading a normal life. The more she acted this way, the more Xi Chenxiao was afraid that he would wake up one day and Su Jin would be gone.

In the evening when Su Jin returned home, Xi Chenxiao hugged her and asked, “Darling, please don’t leave me, okay?”

“Everything about Bai Xue has been investigated and dealt with.”

Su Jin smiled. She had long guessed that there was something wrong with Bai Xue, but she didn’t have any evidence then. The incident the other night was just an excuse for Su Jin. As for what happened that night, Su Jin had a wild night with Xi Chenxiao in the guest room while Xi Tian was drugged unconscious by Su Jin. As for Bai Xue, it was Yu Haiyang’s men who tortured her.

However, Su Jin dared not tell Xi Chenxiao all this because he would definitely punish her after he found out. But she couldn’t hold it back forever. Xi Chenxiao had been finding fault with Xi Tian every day, ready to castrate him at any time. After thinking it through, Su Jin decided that she would tell Xi Chenxiao everything.

Su Jin asked guiltily, “Hubby, what would you do to me if I lied to you about something?”

Xi Chenxiao was stunned; he looked at Su Jin in confusion. What had she been keeping from him? Could she have developed feelings for Xi Tian after that one night? If that was the case, Xi Tian must die. Su Jin could only belong to Xi Chenxiao.

Xi Chenxiao’s expression was gloomy, his eyes cold as he replied, “Nothing will happen.”

Su Jin studied Xi Chenxiao’s undecipherable expression. How could she believe what he said? But if she didn’t come clean, she would feel that she had betrayed Xi Chenxiao. This matter was of extreme importance, and it concerned her reputation. Although she didn’t care much about it in the past, she couldn’t ignore it now because she was Xi Chenxiao’s wife.

Su Jin continued guiltily, “Then, can you promise that you won’t wallop me?”

Xi Chenxiao was getting impatient. He suppressed the anger in his heart. What could make Su Jin so flustered? It must be something big. But nothing happened in the past few days except that night.

Xi Chenxiao frowned, unable to figure out what the matter was. He finally said, “Just tell me.”

Su Jin took a few deep breaths. She had to come clean if she wanted to live with a clear conscience. If she didn’t, this lie could drive a wedge between her and Xi Chenxiao. Su Jin prepared herself mentally as she looked at Xi Chenxiao guiltily. She even took a few steps toward the door before she said, “Hubby, actually, Xi Tian didn’t do anything to me that night.”

Xi Chenxiao was stunned on the spot, as if he was struck by lightning. What did Su Jin say? Xi Tian and her didn’t do anything that night? Then, how did they end up in the same bed? If nothing happened between Xi Tian and Su Jin, did it mean that nothing happened between Xi Chenxiao and Bai Xue too?

Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin in shock and said coldly, “Say that again.”

“What exactly happened that night?”

“How can you be so sure that nothing happened between you and Xi Tian?”

“Do you know what happened that night?”
