"If I told you that it was just you and me, would you agree?"

Xia Xiaoxiao fell silent. After some serious thought, she concluded that it shouldn't be true!

"Xiao Wen, you should tell me, what is your relationship with Xi Mu City now?"

Xia Xiaowang took his hand out from Lin Hao's palm and placed it under the table. He looked up into Lin Hao's eyes and solemnly spat out two words, "Husband and wife!"

Lin Hao's entire body was paralyzed on the chair. His expression became more and more unsightly, and he sneered. "Heh, I should have thought of that long ago."

"Big brother Hao, what's wrong with you? Didn't we say that you're only a brother and sister?" Looking at the depressed Lin Hao, Xia Xiaowang felt his heart ache. As his younger sister, she felt her heart ache.

Lin Hao didn't reply. He stood up and walked out the door by himself. Now that there was nothing he could say, he said, "Xia Xiaoling, I like you. It's the kind of love between men and women." He shouldn't have had any illusions. Right now, his injuries would only be more painful.

Only Xia Xiaoxiao was left in her seat with a bitter expression. "Brother Hao, you shouldn't have liked me."

Perhaps she had long since realized Lin Hao's feelings for her. It was just that she had been unwilling to admit it, always deceiving herself, and that had led to the situation today. How would she face him in the future? "And Jiang Lei, she always liked Lin Hao …" "AHH!" "So annoying!

"Who dares to annoy my wife!" As soon as Xi Mu Cheng climbed up the stairs, he heard Xia Xiaoling's shout. He entered the room and saw a petite figure rolling around on the bed with a pillow in her arms.

Xi Mucheng bent over and looked at Xia Xiaoxian who was frowning on the bed. He propped her up with both hands and said, "Didn't I accompany Jiang Lei on a blind date today? How did I make you unhappy?"

Staring at the man so close to her, Xia Xiaowang felt like she was about to die from guilt. It would be better if she didn't meet him, since lying in front of him was a real test of her abilities. She turned her head away from Xi Mu Cheng and tried her best to avoid looking him in the eye, forcefully changing the topic, "Uhh, aren't you having social gatherings today? Why did you come back so early?"

"Oh, I came back after I said what I needed to say. I'll be fine with Zifeng keeping an eye on me." Xi Mu Cheng stood up and took off his tie as he said, "Why are you so early? Did you succeed or fail?"

"Ugh …" "Of course he failed. Otherwise, how could he be so fast? He was just a fat uncle, looking like a nouveau riche." Xia Xiaoxiao was racking her brains to cope with the situation. She estimated that millions of brain cells had already been burned to death!

Listening to Xia Xiaoling's narration, Xi Mucheng smiled and said, "Isn't that best friend of yours who should like being a nouveau riche?"

"What are you talking about? Disgusting." Xia Xiaowang didn't like to hear people say that Jiang Lei was bad, so she expressed her dissatisfaction with Xi Mu City on her face.

Seeing Xia Xiaoling pout, Xi Mucheng felt unhappy. He walked over to the bed and kissed on his lips, "Alright, I said the wrong thing. Don't be angry, I'm going to take a bath first."

The CEO actually admitted her wrongs. Did she hear that wrong?! Xia Xiaoxiao felt that since yesterday, Xi Mu City had suddenly become gentle towards her. This man's thoughts were truly unfathomable …

Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let the heavens decide what to do with us. Sleep!

By the time Xi Mu Cheng came out of the bathroom, Xia Xiaoling had already fallen asleep. Lying beside his wife, he saw the bracelet on her hand smile faintly and lightly kiss her forehead, "Good night, my little girl!"

Three days later …

"Lawyer Wang, hello." Xia Xiaoxiao greeted the man sitting opposite her respectfully.

"Miss Xia, no, how do you do Madam Xi?"

This was the first time someone called her Madam Xi, so Xia Xiaoxiao felt a little awkward. "Lawyer Wang, you're too polite. You're older than me by a generation, you can call me Little Warm." A bright smile hung on his face.

Looking at the polite and dignified Xia Xiaoling in front of him, Wang Feng's nervous expression softened a little, "Xiaoling, is there anything you need from me?" A small warmth brought the two of them closer together.

"There's nothing else. I just wanted to ask, when there was a problem with the Xia family's funds, there was a period of time when they said they were allowed to pay back the money three months overdue. Why did they suddenly sue the Xia family?" Xia Xiaoxiao voiced her doubts in a series of sentences.

Looking at the puzzled Xia Xiaoxiao in front of him, Wang Feng was a bit worried. It seemed like Miss Xia didn't know about the events that had transpired, but whether she should say it or not, it would be troublesome if she said the wrong thing.

"Lawyer Wang doesn't have to worry about anything. I just want to know more to ensure the safety of the company. I don't have any other intentions." Xia Xiaoxiao saw the hesitation in Wang Feng's eyes, and she consoled him.

Wang Feng thought for a moment. He had lived most of his life, and he could tell with a glance if a person had bad intentions or not. Xia Xiaoxiao was not a scheming person, so there was no harm in saying so.

"Miss Xia, don't you know that the banks in the Xia family's arrears are under the control of the Xi group? That was the intention of the higher ups to allow the overdue payments. As for the prosecution later on, we were only following orders."

"Obeying orders? Whose orders? Could it be Xi Mu City?" Hearing this, Xia Xiaoxiao became even more anxious to find out the truth.
