Chapter 573 Coaxed
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and tried to ease his tension.
After all, Xia Chuwei is quite powerful, and although he can handle her, it will be extremely difficult for him.
"Sister-in-law, this trip I went out to do was just to get some things done, I can't say I gained anything."
"Oh?" Xia Chuwei raised an eyebrow, her gaze drifting towards Shi Meitong. "This Miss Shi looks unfamiliar. Aren't you going to introduce her to your sister-in-law?"
Upon seeing this, Shi Meitong immediately stopped guessing.
These two are having an affair! Or... this kind of relationship!
Chen Xuan knew he couldn't avoid it, so he could only say, "Sister-in-law, this is Madam Shi Meitong. I met her by chance at the banquet. She encountered some difficulties, so I helped her out. That's how we got to know each other."
Xia Chuwei sneered: "A chance encounter? Offering help? Chen Xuan, you're really quite the kind-hearted one."
However, as she finished speaking, her face began to flush.
Pui pui pui, it's all Chen Xuan's fault, she can't even use idioms anymore!
Thinking of this, her voice suddenly rose: "Then I'd like to ask, do you still remember your promise to your sister-in-law? Do you still remember the responsibilities you bear?"
Chen Xuan lowered his head, pretending not to dare to look Xia Chuwei in the eye, and after a moment of silence said, "Sister-in-law, of course I remember. It's just that the situation was urgent at the time, and I really couldn't stand idly by."
Xia Chuwei stood up and paced back and forth in the room, saying as she walked, "Fine, fine, fine, so you can't just stand by and do nothing! Do you know how much harm your casual actions have done to me?!"
She suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Xuan: "Today you brought back Madam Shi Meitong, will you bring back even more unrelated people tomorrow?"
"No, sister-in-law, let me explain..."
Chen Xuan was about to explain when Xia Chuwei interrupted him:
"Alright, I don't want to hear what you have to say. Now that you've brought them back, make sure they're settled properly. But you'd better remember, there are some things you can't do recklessly."
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves, turned around and went into the inner room, leaving Chen Xuan and Shi Meitong standing there, the atmosphere so heavy it was hard to breathe.
"Hey Chen Xuan... this one is also... your creation? But why does she still have such a temper? With your personality, there's no way you'd give her the strength to speak..."
At this point, Chen Xuan covered Shi Meitong's mouth.
"You mustn't say such things!"
"Hmph! It's all your fault, you bad guy, I can't care about you!"
After being mentored by Chen Xuan for a period of time, Shi Meitong had long lost her initial fiery temper. Instead, she was gentle and tender when facing Chen Xuan.
"Alright, alright, wait here for me for a moment. I'll go back and talk to her properly!" Chen Xuan said.
"Then, then you should be careful too, don't... okay?"
"Alright, now you're meddling in my business!"
"Hmph, why can't I care? Right now, my belly is yours... Hmph!" Shi Meitong huffed.
"Yes, yes, my lady! Let me in and say a few words, is that alright?"
"Okay, go ahead."
Chen Xuan took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the inner room. Xia Chuwei had her back to him, her shoulders trembling slightly; she was clearly still angry.
"Sister-in-law..." Chen Xuan called softly, his voice tinged with caution.
Xia Chuwei, however, seemed not to hear and remained motionless.
"What's wrong? Are you angry?"
"Angry? What do I have to be angry about? After all, you already have a wife!" Xia Chuwei's voice was icy. Clearly, she had overheard Chen Xuan's conversation with Shi Meitong outside.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan casually set up a soundproof array, then slowly approached, attempting to explain, "Sister-in-law, please don't take what Miss Shi and I said just now to heart. It's not what you think..."
"How was that?"
Xia Chuwei turned around abruptly, her eyes reddening, and said angrily, "Not what I think? Then what is it? You're about to become a father, how do you expect to explain yourself?"
Chen Xuan was speechless for a moment, knowing that anything he said at this moment would seem pale and powerless.
Seeing Xia Chuwei's heartbroken appearance, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. As if possessed, he stepped forward and hugged Xia Chuwei tightly.
Xia Chuwei froze at first, then struggled violently: "Let go of me! What right do you have to hug me?"
Chen Xuan hugged her even tighter, gently resting his chin on Xia Chuwei's shoulder, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. But in my heart, you have always held a place."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuwei paused in her struggle, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably: "You're lying to me! If you have feelings for me, why are you with her..."
“Sister-in-law, I admit that I had an inappropriate relationship with Meitong. But that doesn’t mean my feelings for you have diminished in the slightest. You will always be the most important person in my heart.”
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's admission, Xia Chuwei struggled violently, trying to break free from his grasp: "Let me go! What do you take me for? After doing something like this, you think you can just brush it off with a few words?"
Chen Xuan did not let go; instead, he pulled her even closer until their bodies were almost touching.
He lowered his head, his lips close to Xia Chuwei's ear, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, you know me, I'll definitely handle this matter perfectly for you!"
After saying that, Chen Xuan added, "You're the eldest son's wife 'here'!"
Xia Chuwei trembled upon hearing this, wanting to resist, but her body gradually became weak and powerless under Chen Xuan's breath. She bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with conflict and struggle: "You...how could you do this to me..."
Chen Xuan didn't respond, but instead expressed his feelings through actions. He slowly lowered his head, bringing his lips closer to Xia Chuwei's.
Xia Chuwei's eyes widened, and she instinctively tried to dodge, but Chen Xuan held her tightly in his arms, leaving her nowhere to escape.
The moment the two came together, Xia Chuwei felt a jolt of electricity coursing through her body, and all the anger and grievances in her heart seemed to transform into endless emotions.
After a long while, Chen Xuan slowly released Xia Chuwei, pressed his forehead against hers, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, please forgive me this time, okay? I promise I will never make you sad again."
Xia Chuwei's eyes were red, and her cheeks were flushed. She raised her hand and gently punched Chen Xuan's chest: "You bastard... how could you..." Although she was still scolding him, her tone had lost its previous harshness.
Chen Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Chuwei's attitude had softened.
He hugged Xia Chuwei tightly, as if trying to meld her into his own body: "Chuwei, I will prove with my actions that no one can match your place in my heart."
