Based on the evidence he had gathered, Sheng Qingyi wasn’t the one who had threatened An Xiaxia .
But there was no doubt that Sheng Qingyi had been involved .
Most likely, that “mysterious caller” was in fact two callers!
“That person threatened you into leaving me, didn’t they?” Sheng Yize said languidly . “And you were forbidden to tell me about it?”
An Xiaxia’s mouth fell open . “How do you know that?”
“I guessed . ” Sheng Yize shrugged and An Xiaxia eyed him in reverence . “You’re brilliant!”
After a moment, she asked gingerly, “Do you think me… stupid? I was threatened so easily…”
“You are . ” Sheng Yize’s remark was merciless and An Xiaxia replied with grievance, “But they threatened me with my family . If I didn’t break up with you immediately, a car was going to ram the one my brother and dad were in…”
She didn’t have any choice at that time .
Sheng Yize snorted . “Anyway, I wasn’t the most important person to you and I was dispensable . Sigh… you heartless woman!”
“No, it wasn’t like that!” An Xiaxia shook her head repeatedly . “You’re very important to me!”
“Am I?”
“Yes!”
“Prove it . ” He smiled wickedly .
An Xiaxia was so anxious that she almost had tears in her eyes . “What proof do you want?”
“If a drumstick and I fall into the water at the same time, which one will you save?” Sheng Yize asked casually .
Pfft —
That question again .
An Xiaxia remembered that last time, her answer had been to let Sheng Yize save himself and get the drumstick out for her .
Saying that now would definitely earn her a good spanking .
Jabbing the tips of her index fingers together, she said, “I’ll save you . ”
“I see~” Sheng Yize pressed on . “What if it’s me and cheesecake?”
An Xiaxia gritted her teeth . “You!”
“Sweet and sour spare ribs?”
“Hm… you…”
“Strawberry milkshake?”
“… You . ”
Sheng Yize listed over a dozen of An Xiaxia’s favorite food and An Xiaxia reluctantly chose Sheng Yize each time .
Seeing that Sheng Yize was greatly pleased, An Xiaxia moved closer, fawning over him . “Honey, can’t you see I love you so much? All the food in this world is nothing compared with you~”
“Good girl . ” Sheng Yize pinched An Xiaxia’s cheek and grinned . “I was going to take you to a nice restaurant, but since you’ve been so good, let’s go back home to your all-nourishing soup . ”
An Xiaxia’s heart sunk at the mention of that .
Lately, Sheng Yize had been learning from the mother-in-law of Gu Zichen, his good friend, and had been making her all sorts of nourishing soups .
Of course, that was putting it in a nice way . Alternatively, one could call it: British cooking…
The soup was very nourishing, alright, but the taste… it lingered…
“Sheng Yize…” An Xiaxia was practically sobbing . “Any chance for me to choose a different husband now?”
“Nope . ”
“I really don’t want to have them anymore…” She looked like she was going to cry . Amused, Sheng Yize led her to the door, but something dawned on him and he turned back, leaving a line on the blackboard in his elegant handwriting .
He had switched to using his left hand after his right one got injured . Standing in the doorway, An Xiaxia watched as his left hand moved gracefully, the mild light casting a pretty glow on his face .
“The spring river flows, the spring forest prospers, and the spring breeze blows — they are nothing compared with you . ”
Something seemed to click in her head . A million emotions rushed in, overwhelming her .
Their eyes met, and they decided never to look away again .
