Her tone was light as the breeze, yet the man could keenly pick up a hint of dissatisfaction.
Inside the vast and quiet airport VIP lounge, Mu Yuchen held onto the railing with one hand while his deep gaze looked through the tinted windows at the landing airplanes. A faint curve flashed across his handsome face while he quietly listened to the woman's unhappy complaints. He did not immediately respond, so the two of them stayed quiet for a while.
Xi Xiaye waited for a while and when he did not answer, she asked softly again, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
He then chuckled, his deep voice as calm as water and containing a hint of warmth. "I'd like to hear what is it that made you doubt your husband's loyalty, Missus."
When she heard him teasing her, Xi Xiaye's gaze darkened. She leaned back against the chair as she casually took a book from the shelf on her side to hug to her chest. She said calmly, "Mr. Mu, we've been married for almost a year now. Tell me what do you think of me?"
Why was this girl suddenly asking him about her character now?
Upon hearing this question, Mu Yuchen was a little taken aback. His dark eyes froze for a while, then he asked her back, "What do you think?"
"I don't know. I just know that I'm not perfect. Don't you always tell me that I have poor EQ?" she complained.
Mu Yuchen frowned and did not say anything.
She paused, then continued, "Tonight, I went to join VP Wang's birthday banquet and I met someone. She really surprised me. Do you want to know who it was?"
Mu Yuchen leisurely lit up a cigarette and responded calmly, "Who?"
Xi Xiaye held onto the book with one hand as she looked at the lamp that shone beside her. She sighed gently. "I met Gu Lingsha, your previous fiancee. She's a really beautiful woman. If it were in the past, she would be the kind of beauty that could turn a country upside down. In fact, I can see that she's charismatic and quite capable too. She asked me how you were doing."
"What did you say then?" The man's tone was still calm and undisturbed on the other end, so she really could not tell how he felt.
"I really don't like the way she spoke. She's such a stunner, and yet you told me before this that she's... not as pretty as I am..."
Upon hearing her sad whining, his gently furrowed brows raised instead. His lips curved into an amused smile, yet his tone was still calm and stiff. "I thought you wouldn't ever feel threatened."
"What do you mean threatened? I just don't like her. I feel like she didn't come with friendliness, so I didn't speak much to her."
He chuckled out loud. "And here I thought something happened. It's okay if you don't like her. She can't force you to like her, can she? As good-looking as she may be, your Mr. Mu doesn't fancy her. Besides, who can compare to your charisma and looks?
"I don't want to explain much about Gu Lingsha. She's just an irrelevant woman. The fact that you could talk to me about the reason you're unhappy means that you have high self-awareness. It's great to rid of any unhappy suspicions or jealousy between us. I already knew about Gu Lingsha's return, so I'm not surprised, but I am worried about you."
It was rare for him to explain so much. To her amusement, his tone was low and he was not annoyed at all.
"Xiaye, we have a long way more to go. Whether or not we'll make the journey steadily depends on us. I have always trusted you, so I won't question you about your past. I always believe that your heart will only end up with me, just as you didn't question me about my past before. Back when I saw you sign the marriage papers, I admit I did feel mixed emotions since I gambled with marriage. I'm afraid of losing too."
