Chapter 121: Chapter 121: So You Got Angry Out of Embarrassment?

Cheng Yi suddenly laughed, stroking her cheek with the pad of his finger, "It seems I was overthinking."

Xinan pouted, somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude, "You’re so concerned about what she said to me, could it be because you did something unspeakable behind my back with her?"

At that time, Xinan and Cheng Yi were still husband and wife. Had it been in the past, she definitely wouldn’t have asked such questions to his face, because she had the family to consider, and had to think carefully before she spoke.

But now, Xinan could say these things in a joking tone.

Cheng Yi playfully flicked Xinan’s nose, "What are you thinking about? I’m just afraid of you being wronged."

Xinan snorted coldly, "As if you didn’t wrong me enough back then?"

Even though he clearly liked her, he still had to embarrass her in front of so many people, even though he clearly liked her, he still had to act as if he didn’t care, even though he clearly liked her, he still had to play act with Yang Shuyu to provoke her...

Cheng Yi was the biggest fool in the world!

Now when Xinan thought back on these things, she felt an inexplicable anger welling up inside her. If it hadn’t been for what happened later, she might never have realized that Cheng Yi liked her.

Sure enough, Xinan was still the same grudge-holding girl from before. No matter how the world changed, her heart remained unaltered.

Cheng Yi sighed softly, ruffled her hair, pulled her close, and whispered, "Nannan, I’m sorry, it was all my fault before."

"You were indeed bad. I was almost angered to death by you, and then you forced drinks on me in front of so many people!" Xinan got angrier as she spoke, her eyes ablaze, "Do you know how long I threw up after returning? I almost vomited out my stomach!"

Listening to Xinan, Cheng Yi’s eyes were filled with self-reproach and guilt, "I know all about it."

Xinan looked at him doubtfully; Meng Qiu had been the one taking care of her the whole time, so how did he know?

Then she heard Cheng Yi continue, "The day Han Jibai and Ran Shasha got engaged, I saw Han Jibai helping you put on earrings in the hotel, and I felt really awful... So in a fit of urgency, I said a lot of things that hurt you, but I regretted it later, and I’ve wanted to apologize ever since, but you went to the south to shoot a film, thousands of miles away from me."

His voice grew lower, "During that time, I missed you a lot, but I couldn’t find a proper reason to see you, so I used visiting Yang Shuyu as an excuse to go there. In truth, I never intended to make things difficult for you at the dinner that evening; even though I was so close to you, you wouldn’t even spare me a glance."

"So you got angry out of embarrassment?" Xinan asked.

Cheng Yi chuckled lightly, "I guess so, but my real intention wasn’t to make you drink. I just wanted you to look at me more, to give me some attention, to put it another way... I wanted you to show some softness towards me, but you didn’t; without a word, you drank down the whole bottle. You really made me feel a mix of love and hate."

"How did you know I threw up all night then?"

"Afterwards, I asked Lu Jiang to bring you some medicine, and he told me."

Xinan thought for a moment; although she was dazed that night, she indeed remembered someone knocking on the door, and shortly after, Meng Qiu brought her a glass of water with something to take.

She just hadn’t realized that the medicine was sent by Cheng Yi through Lu Jiang.

Xinan cleared her throat, but still felt a blockage in her heart, "But you also sent medicine to Yang Shuyu the next day."

"Yang Shuyu?" Cheng Yi was stunned.

"Yes, the next morning, not only medicine but also milk and other things," Xinan said, her memory sharp, and her tone growing acid.

Reminded by Xinan, Cheng Yi roughly recalled the incident. He lowered his head, gently touched her hair, and said quietly, "Fool, those things were originally for you..."

"For me?" Xinan blinked, surprised. They were actually for her, but why were they with Yang Shuyu?

Cheng Yi hummed an affirmation, explaining, "I was worried you’d have a stomach ache after drinking, so I bought medicine and milk early in the morning, but when I arrived on set, I saw you chatting and laughing with another male actor, and I felt upset. Just then, Yang Shuyu came over and asked what I had, so I just handed them to her."

The male actor? Xinan recalled, then understood Cheng Yi meant Li Yu. She moved her lips and asked, "Just because I was laughing with another male actor, you got angry?"

Xinan was almost amused by the pettiness of Cheng Yi; it was the first time she felt he could be so trivial.

"Yes, when it comes to you, I seem to get angry very easily."

Because his heart was fully occupied by Xinan, and at the time he didn’t know she liked him, so whenever he saw any other person of the opposite sex approaching Xinan, he became especially sensitive.

Xinan paused and then spoke slowly, "So how did you meet Yang Shuyu?"

Cheng Yi didn’t really remember that well; at the time, he was just looking for a reason to see Xinan, so he randomly chose a female actor as an excuse. In other words, it was merely by chance that it was Yang Shuyu.

Cheng Yi had no impression of her on his first visit to the crew to see Yang Shuyu; he didn’t remember where he had met her before.

It was only later, when she brought it up herself, that Cheng Yi slowly recalled that there was such a person, but still couldn’t match the face.

"A few years ago, at a social gathering," Cheng Yi replied.

"One meeting, and you visited her on the set?" Xinan pressed on, relentless.

Only then did Cheng Yi realize that Xinan’s behavior was clearly out of jealousy!

His heart instantly felt as if it were filled with honey, sweetly content, "Back then, I just wanted to find a female actor as an excuse, and it just so happened Yang Shuyu was the person."

At last, Xinan understood the whole matter. She calmed herself down and spoke, "Alright, I got it."

Seeing that Xinan’s mood seemed much better, Cheng Yi’s spirits lifted too, "Your questions are done, now it’s my turn, right?"

"What questions do you have?" Xinan asked, puzzled.

Cheng Yi quietly looked at Xinan for a while before asking, "On the night just a week before you confessed to me, when I misunderstood that you kissed Han Jibai, how did he happen to appear outside the Xi’s Villa?"

Cheng Yi had always been puzzled about this because it was quite late that night, and Han Jibai wouldn’t be at the Xi residence for no reason, especially alone with Xinan.

So... his intuition told him something must have happened that night.
