The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 849 - 809: Apologizing to the Wife (1)

"Girl, well done. The people of H nation thank you." As soon as the senior official was pleased, he unconsciously adopted an official tone.

"I’m not doing this entirely for the H nation’s people. I’m well aware that I don’t have such lofty awareness. I interfered this time solely because the other party reached too far, even extending their hands over my family." Situ Xin said these words to convey to the senior official that she has no interest in these political matters. As long as they don’t harm her family and touch her bottom line. She will not partake in those political struggles and power-related matters.

Situ Xin’s words intended partly to reassure the senior official, telling him she wouldn’t compete with him over what he cares about, those things don’t concern Situ Xin. Second, it also served as a warning. It was to tell the senior official that you can do whatever you want, but if you touch her bottom line. Then sorry, Situ Xin won’t be lenient.

Just like that. This incident is a prime example.

The senior official clearly understands the implications of Situ Xin’s words. Yet, he wasn’t annoyed by the threats in her words, instead, her words greatly relieved him, as the heavy stone which has been weighing on his heart these days, has finally landed. Because he knew, if Situ Xin ever decided to vie with him for that position, he definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against her. After all, The Dark Division is not to be trifled with.

If today, Situ Xin hadn’t spoken these words, the senior official would start to be wary of Situ Xin, and would even contemplate eliminating the Situ Family, Loo Family, and Xiao Family. But now, Situ Xin had made it clear. His such intentions have also vanished. Speaking of which, choosing to deal with the Situ Family, Loo Family, and Xiao Family, is his last resort.

"Ha ha, I know. You, girl, just hate trouble. However, next time there’s a threat to our nation, you can’t just avoid helping, okay? That is your duty as a citizen of H nation." The senior official was in good spirits and laughed heartily over the phone.

This startled the secretary who had been with the senior official for many years. He had seen his boss laugh more than a few times, while dealing with foreign leaders or when facing the public, but he had never seen his boss laugh so heartily before.

"Alright, I won’t talk much now. My baby has woken up." Situ Xin didn’t want to chat more with the senior official. Talking to these politicians, especially high-ranking officials, is not an easy task, one could easily fall into their traps. Therefore, every time Situ Xin dealt with the senior official, she would be extremely alert. Situ Xin always felt like she had lost a lot of brain cells after finishing a conversation with him.

"Ah, I still haven’t seen your three little treasures; don’t forget me at their full moon celebration, I, as a grandfather, haven’t yet given them gifts." The senior official, seeing that Situ Xin posed no threat, started to think of pulling her closer.

"Sure, I’ll send you an invitation to my baby’s full moon celebration." When gifts and red packets were offered so straightforwardly, Situ Xin would not refuse.

Situ Xin finally finished the call with the higher-up. The moment she hung up, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

This made Xiao Muli, who was playing with the three little dumplings, turn his head towards his wife, Situ Xin. He chuckled and said, "Wifey, I never thought there’s someone in this world that you’d be afraid of. But seriously, do you need to be that nervous just from a phone call with the higher-up?"

After hearing Xiao Muli’s words, Situ Xin placed her mobile on the table, walked over, bent down, and joined Xiao Muli in playing with their three little darlings. Perhaps it was because of the three fruits that Situ Xin had eaten back then, their three kids were much more sensible than average children. Right now, they could even understand adult’s speech and respond accordingly. "You’re exaggerating, I’m not afraid of that person on top,"

"Then what about that long sigh after the phone call?" Xiao Muli casually handed a toy to his eldest son, Xiao Xuyao, while asking.

"That sigh doesn’t mean I’m afraid of the higher-up. It’s because dealing with people in politics, especially those in high positions, is mentally exhausting—they are deep thinkers, always plotting this and that. You see, while talking on the phone, he set so many traps, just waiting for you to step into one inadvertently and then he can pull the net tight. So, every time I talk to the higher-ups, I have to be fully alert to avoid falling into his traps. My sigh was because I felt tired, not because I was scared," Situ Xin explained with a smile, then continued, "If you talk about fear, it’s him who should be scared. He fears that I might vie for his position at the top. Hah, he thinks everyone else, like him, sees power as the utmost importance. I’m really not interested in that position. The higher you stand, the heavier the responsibilities and the more troubles you face. I’d rather spend my time with my family."

"Honey, I love hearing that," Xiao Muli said, making a coquettish pose, tilting his head, and leaning on Situ Xin’s shoulder.

Xiao Muli’s gesture made Xiao Xuyao and Xiao Xuyang look up and give him an unimpressed glance. Meanwhile, their daughter, Xiao Shiyao, didn’t even lift her eyes, focusing on her toy. Situ Xin smiled and lifted Xiao Muli’s head from her shoulder, saying, "Cut it out. You’re becoming more and more improper. Didn’t you see, even our sons and daughter are here. Be careful not to lead them astray."

"I’m only like this in front of you. You know how I am outside. And what about it if our sons and daughters are here? Showing our kids how affectionate their parents are isn’t leading them astray, it’s beneficial. It lets them know from a young age how loving their parents are," Xiao Muli spoke and leaned his head back on Situ Xin’s shoulder, then whispered in her ear, "Besides, our affectionate actions are lawful; we’re legally married. Honey, I miss you. How about tonight..."

Seeing the longing look in Xiao Muli’s eyes, Situ Xin’s face involuntarily blushed. Although she and Xiao Muli were legally married and had been intimate many times—even having children—Situ Xin still felt shy with Xiao Muli’s overly affectionate gestures.

Yet, Xiao Muli absolutely adored his wife Situ Xin’s shy, charming demeanor. Especially when it was just the two of them together in bed.

"Gosh, Xiao Muli, really. If you dare talk like this in front of our children again, you’ll be sleeping in the study for a month," Situ Xin threatened, flustered with embarrassment. Indeed, Xiao Muli’s timing and setting were inappropriate. If it was just the two of them, even Xiao Muli’s exaggerated gestures would have only made Situ Xin blush. But with others around, even if it’s just their newborn, oblivious babies, Situ Xin might just lose her temper.
