Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Digging a Big Hole

The next day, Chen Xuan woke up early in the morning.

Last night, he had slept in Han Jingting’s bedroom, but he hadn’t shared a bed with her; like at home, he had only slept on the floor beside her.

It wasn’t that Chen Xuan insisted on doing this; his main concern was that Han Jingting might suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and feel scared upon finding herself in a strange place.

However, it turned out that Chen Xuan’s worries were somewhat unnecessary because, throughout the night, Han Jingting hadn’t woken up at all and had slept straight until now!

Chen Xuan got up and came over to Han Jingting.

Truth be told, had he not already checked her pulse in advance, Chen Xuan would have been somewhat worried that she had sustained a brain injury, otherwise why would she have been unconscious for such an extended period.

At this moment, the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the French windows and fell upon Han Jingting.

Her otherworldly beauty seemed even more delicate and stunning at this moment.

Especially her slightly pursed red lips, they were tempting enough to stir the impulse to kiss her.

Unconsciously, Chen Xuan found himself very close to her lips, as if an indefinable force was luring him to come even closer.

Fortunately, over the years, the longing unattainable on a daily basis had fortified Chen Xuan’s self-restraint, and in the end, he did not do anything inappropriate.

Chen Xuan picked up the blanket that Han Jingting had kicked off and was about to cover her with it again.

However, just at that moment, the sleeping Han Jingting suddenly opened her eyes.

As their eyes met, Chen Xuan froze on the spot.

After a few seconds of silence, Han Jingting suddenly realised what was happening and demanded coldly, "What are you trying to do?"

"I...I wasn’t trying to do anything, I just wanted to cover you with the blanket..."

Although it was indeed the truth, Chen Xuan found himself speaking with an inexplicable lack of confidence.

Han Jingting naturally didn’t believe Chen Xuan’s words, but then she suddenly remembered something far more serious.

"Yesterday..."

Han Jingting vividly recalled falling unconscious while that Sun Ji was about to take advantage of her!

Chen Xuan saw Han Jingting’s concern and quickly said, "Don’t worry, I arrived just in time, they didn’t do anything to you."

Upon hearing this, Han Jingting finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for what you did yesterday..." Han Jingting said in a subdued voice, her head lowered.

This woman was always aloof, and now she was expressing her gratitude to him, which took Chen Xuan by surprise.

"It’s nothing, you’re my wife, and I was only doing what I should do. The people from that company have all been brought to justice, so you don’t have to worry about that anymore."

Han Jingting nodded, allowing her heart to finally settle down.

Then came a prolonged silence; the two of them, though husband and wife, suddenly found themselves at a loss for common topics.

"So, get up and get dressed, okay? I’ll go out first."

Chen Xuan then quickly left the room, somewhat easing the awkward atmosphere.

However, just as Chen Xuan had stepped out, he suddenly heard Han Jingting’s cry of surprise from behind him.

Thinking something was wrong, Chen Xuan hurriedly opened the door and re-entered.

"What’s wrong?"

Han Jingting looked at him with a frightened expression, "My clothes, how come they are..."

"Oh, I’m the one who changed them for you."

"You?"

"Yes, your clothes were all covered in blood yesterday, so I helped you change. The new clothes are beside you."

Han Jingting then really let out a sigh of relief; when she saw how she was dressed, she had feared that it had been those men from yesterday.

But then, Han Jingting remembered something else.

If the clothes I’m wearing were changed by Chen Xuan, doesn’t that mean he saw everything yesterday?

At that thought, Han Jingting’s pretty face instantly turned crimson.

Even though they were husband and wife, such an incident still embarrassed Han Jingting.

"You didn’t do that to me yesterday, did you?"

"Do what? What are you talking about?" Chen Xuan didn’t react immediately, but after a moment shook his head hastily, "Oh, that’s what you meant. I assure you, I absolutely did not touch you!"

However, Chen Xuan’s earnest response only made Han Jingting’s face grow even hotter, and she said annoyedly, "Alright, go out now!"

After Chen Xuan left, Han Jingting shyly covered her face.

That guy had seen her entire body, how embarrassing!

Then, Han Jingting’s gaze fell on the long dress beside the pillow.

A short time later, when Han Jingting saw herself in the mirror, she was somewhat surprised.

This was the first time this man had bought her clothes, and she had not expected them to fit so perfectly!

At the moment, Chen Xuan was busy preparing breakfast.

With a click, the bedroom door opened, and Han Jingting, dressed in a light purple long dress, walked out from the room.

The instant Chen Xuan’s gaze landed on Han Jingting, it was as if he was under a spell, unable to divert his eyes even slightly.

Beautiful!

The woman before him was extremely beautiful!

In that moment, Chen Xuan felt as if he had returned to the scene when he first met Han Jingting years ago.

She was as beautiful then as she was today!

"What are you looking at!" Han Jingting’s voice was cold.

Chen Xuan, startled, quickly looked away, "Oh, nothing. Breakfast is ready, come and eat."

Watching Chen Xuan’s busy figure, Han Jingting’s lips curved into an almost imperceptible smirk of triumph.

At the dining table, the couple sat opposite each other, just like any ordinary husband and wife.

This feeling, however, gave both of them an unprecedented sense of comfort.

"Your job really does make people envious."

Han Jingting, looking at the lavishly decorated Villa No. 1, commented profoundly.

Chen Xuan chuckled awkwardly.

"What’s there to envy? My job is just like a bank clerk. I count so much money every day until my hands are weak, but not a single bill is mine," Chen Xuan joked.

But Han Jingting didn’t laugh and continued to ask, "I didn’t get to ask you last time, who is the owner of this villa?"

"That... due to the client’s request, I need to keep it confidential," Chen Xuan tried to brush it off.

But Han Jingting was not willing to let it go just like that.

"Then let me guess, is the owner of this villa perhaps surnamed Zheng?" Han Jingting said meaningfully, looking at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan showed a surprised expression.

This villa was indeed a gift from the Zheng family to him, but how did this woman know?

Chen Xuan was completely unaware that his momentary lapse in reaction had dug such a big pit for himself.

Han Jingting had no idea about Chen Xuan’s relationship with the Zheng family; she merely suspected that the house’s owner was Zheng Qingxue and thought that Chen Xuan had already secretly gotten together with her.

Now Chen Xuan’s reaction had all but confirmed Han Jingting’s suspicions!

For a moment, Han Jingting’s complexion turned utterly cold, frosty with indignation.
