“What’s wrong, darling? Why are you looking at me so strangely?”
Seeing Xu Fei still trying to keep things from her, Lin Qingxue gave a helpless smile and said.
“Your man has already told me everything, how long are you going to keep hiding it from me? The real estate company and the jewellery shop aren’t really yours, are they?”
Now Xu Fei understood, it must have been Wang Qiang who let something slip while he was away.
Continuing to hide it was no longer possible, so Xu Fei gave an awkward smile.
“Well… it’s not exactly what you think…”
Before Xu Fei could finish explaining, Lin Qingxue gently hugged him from behind, whispering in his ear.
“Actually, I don’t care what you’re thinking, okay, darling? The most important thing is that our family can be happy together!”
“You don’t need to pretend in front of me just to save face, got it?”
Her words were like a warm spring breeze, soothing Xu Fei’s heart, he suddenly felt the luckiest thing in his life was finding such an understanding wife.
So he turned and tightly held her hand.
“You’re right, darling, I was overthinking things before, I won’t act tough for no reason anymore!”
With Xu Fei and his wife reconciled, there was no need for Wang Qiang to keep apologising.
“Mr. Xu, I…”
“You what? No need to keep apologising, don’t you know you’re sitting here like a massive third wheel?”
Wang Qiang slapped his forehead in realisation, quickly stood up, bowed, and said.
“Right, right, I’ll leave now, sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Xu…”
Seeing Wang Qiang’s somewhat comical demeanour, Xu Fei and Lin Qingxue couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
As dinnertime approached, just as Xu Fei was discussing with Lin Qingxue where to eat.
A phone call suddenly came in.
“Who’s that?”
Lin Qingxue asked, Xu Fei looked at the phone helplessly and showed it to her.
The call had no caller ID, only showing it was from Beijing.
“No worries, take it, darling, it might be someone wanting to talk business!”
Lin Qingxue knew, as a businessman, it was normal to get calls from unknown numbers.
So Xu Fei answered the phone, but the voice on the other end surprised him.
“Is… is this Mr. Xu Fei?”
“That’s me, who’s this?”
The voice on the other end paused briefly, as the person, thrilled to have reached Xu Fei, nearly jumped with excitement.
Calming their excitement, they continued.
“It’s me, Mr. Xu, I’m Hua Ling! You saved my life at the airport that day, have you forgotten?”
With Hua Ling’s reminder, Xu Fei recalled the events at the airport.
To be honest, Xu Fei had saved countless people in his life, so that day’s incident wasn’t particularly memorable to him.
“There was something like that, but it’s been a while, I’d forgotten!”
