Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xi Chenxiao stared at the sky, exhaustion all over his face. He didn’t know what it felt like to miss someone until he left his girl. He had never thought that he could miss someone so much. Fortunately, his business here was almost done, and he would be home soon.
Xi Chenxiao said with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, “I’m afraid that when I hear her voice, I’ll fly back immediately.”
Bai Xue’s eyes filled with jealousy when she saw Xi Chenxiao’s reaction. She had spent a lot of effort to get close to Xi Chenxiao, but she did not expect him to already be married. He even seemed to care very much about this woman.
This was a little unbearable for Bai Xue but she still put on an envious face as she said gently to Xi Chenxiao, “Brother Xi, you’re too good to sister-in-law.”
Xi Tian looked at Bai Xue speechlessly. How did she tell from just once sentence from the chairman? How was he good? Xi Tian didn’t like Bai Xue from the very beginning. There’s no way she could compare to Madam but since they were out of the country, Xi Tian didn’t have the time to bother with these small things.
Xi Tian said respectfully to Xi Chenxiao, “Madam has been doing well recently. The case of Young Master Yu Haiyang has been thoroughly investigated.”
“Young Master Yu Haiyang’s innocence has been proven and he’s been released from the detention center.”
“Because of this incident, Old Master Yu felt very guilty and made Young Master Yu Haiyang the general manager of the Yu Corporation.”
“Chairman, the reason the tables turned for Young Master Yu Haiyang was because of Madam. Her efforts were praiseworthy.”
Xi Chenxiao could not help but smile when he heard this. He’s so proud of his girl. She had investigated everything so quickly and even made that brat Yu Haiyang the general manager of the Yu Corporation. She was really amazing. Xi Chenxiao quickly withdrew the smile on his face and nodded.
“Okay, I’ll reward her when I get home.”
“Xi Tian, I want to go home as soon as possible.”
Xi Chenxiao looked to the east as he spoke. His girl was waiting for him at home. He only came here because he couldn’t just let go of this girl from the past. Now that she had been rescued, he just had to treat her well in future. Xi Chenxiao’s longing for Su Jin grew stronger. He wished that he could appear immediately next to her.
Xi Chenxiao was silent for a moment before he continued, “Xi Tian, let everyone have a good rest now. We’ll start our journey home tomorrow.”
Xi Tian heard Xi Chenxiao’s words and immediately went to inform the rest of the team. Dissatisfaction flashed in Bai Xue’s heart, but her face was still as delicate and careful as ever. It was not easy for her to get close to Xi Chenxiao. She couldn’t just let all her efforts go to waste.
Bai Xue pretended to be worried as she looked at Xi Chenxiao and asked tentatively, “Brother Xi, will sister-in-law mind if I go home with you?”
Xi Chenxiao frowned. Would Su Jin mind if he suddenly brought a girl home to live with them? He thought more about Su Jin’s character and thought no. As long as he explained the matter clearly, Su Jin would be fine.
Xi Chenxiao’s brows relaxed, and he said with a smile, “She’s very nice and kind. She won’t mind.”
“When we get home, you’ll meet her, and I guarantee that you’ll like her.”
Bai Xue was even more unhappy when she heard this. Xi Chenxiao should have been hers alone. She had sacrificed so much and suffered so much humiliation, yet Xi Chenxiao was in love with someone else. Bai Xue couldn’t accept this but she continued to act careful as she asked, “Is that so?”
“I hope sister-in-law won’t mind.”
“You must tell me if she minds. I’ll leave.”
Xi Chenxiao’s mind was filled with images of Su Jin. Her every move and smile made him want to go home as soon as possible. He couldn’t wait to hug her and tell her everything, how he had missed her every day when they were apart.
There was a little warmth in Xi Chenxiao’s voice as he replied, “Don’t worry, your sister-in-law won’t mind.”
“It’s very late now. Let’s retire for the night.”
Xi Chenxiao then turned to go back to his tent. They were still in a primeval forest, so they could only sleep in tents. This was also the only way out of here. Bai Xue saw that Xi Chenxiao was about to leave and grabbed the corner of his shirt, her eyes fearful.
“Brother Xi, I’m scared. Can you not leave? Stay here with me for a while, okay?”
