Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 812: Deeply Rooted Love (257)

The bedroom door was open, so he just walked right in.

"What are you doing here?!" Jun Xiangyi had just come out from removing her makeup in the bathroom.

Xu Mohan noticed her red eyes, and his usually cold tone softened a bit, "Tonight, it was my tenth brother’s fault. Don’t take it to heart."

"Sorry, I’m petty, and I can’t just let it go." She sat down in front of the vanity, "Your brother doesn’t know any better, it’s not your fault."

Xu Mohan stepped forward, "Are you going out?"

"To find my boyfriend. Thinking it over, he believed your brother’s words too easily, can’t blame him entirely. I’ve been married to you for years and you don’t know me. He’s only met me twice, it’s understandable that he doesn’t know me well. Can’t be too harsh on him." Jun Xiangyi thought maybe she should give Wu Xun another chance. After all, he’s just an ordinary person with little life experience and doesn’t really understand her.

"Then go ahead, I’ll head back."

"Xu Mohan."

"Hmm?"

"Can you answer a question truthfully?"

Xu Mohan naturally placed both hands behind his back, "Ask."

"If Nan Yuesheng’s daughter hadn’t poisoned Mo Lingqi and Bai Sha’s child but had poisoned your two children instead, what would you do?" She looked at him, "This hypothetical could very well have become reality earlier. If she asked for your forgiveness for her daughter, would you compromise because you love her?"

"No." He replied bluntly, "I would avenge my son by personally killing Ningyi."

"But if you did that, wouldn’t it destroy your relationship with Nan Yuesheng?" she pressed on, "You love her so much, wouldn’t you regret it?"

"She should also try to see it from my perspective. Besides, it’s not just my son. It’s her son too."

Jun Xiangyi looked at the mirror as she drew her eyebrows, "I think I won’t ask you again why you fell in love with Nan Yuesheng. Sometimes a person who isn’t much in the eyes of others is a treasure in the eyes of the man who loves her. I really wish I had such a man, one who thinks I’m good even if the whole world doesn’t."

She stood up, not bothering to apply lipstick or eyeliner, only putting on skincare products and drawing her eyebrows, and put on a long trench coat.

She and Xu Mohan went downstairs almost at the same time.

As they stepped out of Jun Xiangyi’s home, they happened to see Nan Yuesheng approaching with an umbrella, looking like she was heading to Long Yubei’s place to find her.

"What are you doing here? I couldn’t reach you on the phone, and when I called the tenth brother, he said you’d already returned."

"Had a few words with Jun Xiangyi."

Nan Yuesheng stepped forward and took his arm, "What’s there to talk about with her?"

"Tonight, my tenth brother messed up her and her boyfriend’s plans."

"Really? He didn’t mention anything to me. Did they get into a fight?"

"No, but Jun Xiangyi was upset to the point of tears."

Nan Yuesheng laughed, "I thought her spellcraft was much stronger than the tenth brother’s and they’d end up fighting. Never thought she’d cry, such a rare thing. Was it for you to see?"

"No way, she didn’t cry in front of me. I went to her place and heard it from Goddess Jun Li."

"Oh..."

Outside, the rain poured down, accompanied by thunder, with few people and cars in sight. Goddess Jun Li, veiled in black with a headscarf, stood in the black market, a place completely opposite from outside, bustling with noise and activity.

Her figure moved through the crowd, quickly taking an elevator down to the basement.
