strongChapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Discussion/strong

    “Bai Jingshan was actually understandable. When I found out the whole story, speaking objectively, Bai Jingshan’s actions can’t be considered unforgivable. It was just all too coincidental.” It’s not that An Zhiyuan was defending Bai Jingshan; it’s really just that Bai Jingshan’s situation had some unavoidable mischief involved.

    “You still say that! I haven’t even interrogated you about this. When did you find out? Haven’t you promised never to lie to me? Yet you kept such a big thing hidden from me. An Zhiyuan, I’m really disappointed in you.”

    An Zhiyuan’s face fell, feeling like he was plotted against by his father-inw.

    “Xiaoxiao, I truly had no choice. Bai Jingshan already confided in me about this. I couldn’t act like I hadn’t heard it. I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn’t tell you rashly. You have such strong resistance against your father; it’s not something I’m unaware of. I swear, this will be thest time I hide anything from you. From now on, I’ll bepletely transparent with Bai Xiao, holding nothing back.” He tightened her fingers in his palms—this was his wife, the person he loved the most.

    Bai Xiao sighed and told the shopkeeper what food she wanted, “You haven’t eaten either, right? Let’s eat here and then take some food back for big brother.”

    An Zhiyuan really did care for her, and she knew it. This man was overly afraid of hurting her; sometimes, An Zhiyuan seemed to care more about her than she did about him.

    She did trust him.

    “You’re not angry anymore?” An Zhiyuan asked nervously.

    Since discovering this matter, it’s like there has been a knife hanging over his neck, never falling, truly making him uneasy.

    “Why would I be angry? You’re also doing it for my good; am I that ungrateful? I was just upset at the time. But thinking about it, what else could you do? If I were in your shoes, I might have done the same.”

    “Not being angry is good! Being angry isn’t good—causes wrinkles, and then you won’t be pretty anymore. My wife’s beautiful face can’t be marred by this; that would be my fault then.” An Zhiyuan instantly brightened up and even dared to joke.

    “Second brother, Shang Kaiwen came to the hospital today.”

    If not now, it would have to be said sooner orter.

    “She came again? She never gives up; I’ll find someone to send her away.”

    An Zhiyuan hoped Shang Kaiwen wouldn’t disrupt Bai Xiao’s life; he knew perfectly well how much Bai Xiao disliked people from the Shang Family. Previously, he might have had some concerns—after all, the Shang Family might have been Bai Xiao’s father’s family—but now the truth hase to light, Bai Xiao had no connection whatsoever to the Shang Family. This is better anyway, to prevent Bai Xiao from regretting it one day in the future.

    He didn’t want Bai Xiao to bear a psychological burden.

    “She said something today, imed she dreamt that I had the ability for Eternal Youth.”

    An Zhiyuan’s face darkened; the fact that Bai Xiao’s secret was known by someone meant Shang Kaiwen absolutely couldn’t stay. Even if he couldn’t continue being a soldier, couldn’t keep working in the army, he couldn’t let anything happen to Bai Xiao.

    But now isn’t a good time. If something happens to Shang Kaiwen shortly after she spoke like this, some people might really suspect Bai Xiao, which would bring trouble onto oneself.

    “I made a fuss about it; everyone in the hospital knows about this matter.”

    Bai Xiao could see that An Zhiyuan was getting uneasy—probably in the same protective way as Bai Song.

    An Zhiyuan squeezed her hand on the table, “Eat something; people like her aren’t worth your attention. Whatever you do won’t be excessive. Don’t be afraid; I’m here, and whatever happens, I’ll handle it.”

    “Second brother, it’s okay—don’t be afraid either. I blew it up on purpose. Think about it; Shang Kaiwen came to threaten me with this mindset! If I kept it hidden, it would be something to hold against me—no matter what happens in the future, there would always be suspicion. If you really have nothing to feel guilty about internally, why let someone else lead you by the nose?

    It’s better to make a fuss from the start; even those with ill intentions would have to think: if I really have something, why am I so reckless? I’m not a fool; doing so doesn’t benefit me at all. Plus, I wanted to seize this opportunity to deal with Shang Kaiwen; she inadvertently gave me a chance.”

    In the previous life, no one would suspect her—because no one had ever encountered such inexplicable, science-defying things before! Who knows what might happen in the future, or if anyone else might be involved—Bai Xiao herself is unsure. But generally, people wouldn’t believe it.

    “You’re right! What you did is correct. Shang Kaiwen is digging her own grave. I understand what you mean; you don’t need to concern yourself with other matters. I’ll call Jiang Shaoqing and contact some of my friends. This issue isn’t big enough yet. We need to make the whole world see this joke and treat it as such, so no one will ever suspect you again.” An Zhiyuan, instinctively understanding, knew what to do.

    Bai Xiao truly is very clever! She handled the situation quite adeptly on the spot.

    Even Shang Kaiwen herself might start doubting whether she dreamt up something absurd.

    “It’s best if you don’t involve your friends in this matter. You and I must note forward about this issue, because some people with ill intentions will surely make associations. We must leave no room for any gaps.” Bai Xiao shook her head; she disagreed with finding An Zhiyuan’srades, having thoroughly considered it.

    The more meticulous the actions, the fewer future repercussions.

    An Zhiyuan added more food for her, “Eat up; I heard you just did a six-hour surgery today and must be exhausted. Eat more, and leave this issue to me; I have my ways, don’t worry, I’ll make sure no one can find any reason whatsoever.”

    Bai Xiao smiled lightly; having An Zhiyuan around certainly brings her peace of mind. He often foresees what she needs.

    Two heads are better than one.

    After finishing the meal, the two brought food to Bai Song. Upon seeing his brother-inw, Bai Song’s face darkened.

    “You dare toe see me? You traitor—you sold me out so smoothly, never considering you’d have to see me afterward.”

    He hadn’t forgotten how An Zhiyuan sold him out to Bai Xiao.

    “You still talk! It was almost because of you that Bai Xiao scolded me to death. You don’t know this matter wasn’t mentioned by me—it was Chunlu’s own mother who said it. So, could I find a way to shut her up?

    And you still have the nerve to me me. I’m the one who got hurt badly by you, you aren’t aware of Bai Xiao’s temper, especially when you’re in trouble—Bai Xiao would want to eat me alive.

    I’m taking the fall for you, and you’reining about me? Brother-inw, that’s really not right.”

    Bai Xiao smiled and gave him a light p, “You still talk, big brother! From now on, don’t conspire with An Zhiyuan to deceive me. Otherwise, I won’t let you off next time. Have you forgotten what you promised me?” An Zhiyuan’s skill in joking is increasingly agile—but whether it was her overlooking his nature when marrying him, or him revealing his true colors afterward, she couldn’t tell.

    Regardless, he’s far from that steady Captain An.

    Bai Song, somewhat sheepish, looked a bit guilty when his sister spoke up.
