Chapter 456: Chapter 456 Zhao Xinlian’s Apology

It must be quite astonishing!

Picking up a mirror beside her, Zhao Xinlian looked at herself in the mirror and still couldn’t quite believe that this face, of all faces, could possibly be her own.

It was so tender it nearly resembled a baby’s skin.

Of course, there was a bit of exaggeration, but just like Chen Wei said, after using the Anti-aging Cream for a long time, skin age appeared at least ten years younger! Indeed astonishing!

Even for Hawk Faction, South Korea, and Sakura Country, celebrated as the great nations of cosmetic manufacturing and research, achieving such results would be elusive. Not even ten percent of this effect, many would argue, could be replicated without decades of development!

Not an exaggeration at all!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xinlian was slightly taken aback. "How could he have formulated such a product ahead of its time so easily, without spending much time?"

She had been too distracted previously to consider this point.

In Zhao Xinlian’s understanding, this Anti-aging Cream shouldn’t exist in this time period.

It would be like Great Xia suddenly announcing the successful research of Annihilation Spacecraft tomorrow, a leap too great in technology.

"Who exactly is this guy? What kind of unknown secrets is he hiding from me? Could he actually be an alien?" The more Zhao Xinlian pondered, the more her imagination ran wild, nearly getting out of hand.

"Alien? So you’ve always seen me that way, huh?"

"Ah!" Chen Wei’s voice suddenly rang out from the door, startling Zhao Xinlian who had been deep in thought.

Raising her hand, she patted her chest, still looking shaken, and glared, "Couldn’t you knock before entering? Don’t you know scaring people can scare them to death?"

"Rest assured, with my medical skills, as long as I don’t wish for your death, not even Lord Yama coming personally to claim your life would matter," said Chen Wei confidently.

"You really don’t have a problem making boastful claims without fear of biting your tongue," Zhao Xinlian didn’t take Chen Wei’s words seriously.

Once she had calmed down, she asked, "By the way! Didn’t you leave already? Why are you back?"

Bewilderment filled Zhao Xinlian’s eyes.

Jokingly she asked, "Could it be you need me to personally bring you foot-washing water and wash your feet before you can sleep soundly?"

"That’s a bit unnecessary," Chen Wei knew Zhao Xinlian was teasing and naturally did not take it to heart.

He arrived at the desk, picked up two bags, and placed them in front of Zhao Xinlian, "You’ve been so busy with work all day, you haven’t had a proper meal. It’s late and you might be weak and vulnerable, eat something more to nourish yourself. Don’t get worn out before our products have even sold."

Looking at the porridge, fried dough sticks, and soy milk Chen Wei bought for her, Zhao Xinlian stared at him, touched. To say that she wasn’t moved would be a complete lie.

However, her emotion did not last for a few seconds before it was completely shattered by Chen Wei’s next words, "If you break down, all this work will be on my shoulders, disturbing my peace and quiet."

"..." Zhao Xinlian’s lips parted slightly, and the words had already reached her lips, but she crushed them all and swallowed them back down.

She turned her frustration into appetite and began to eat heartily.

She told herself not to have any expectations of him. How could anything precious ever come out of a dog’s mouth?

She was truly a fool!

She quickly finished all the food Chen Wei had bought for her, savoring the last bit of soy milk at the bottom of the cup, wasting none of it.

"Burp..." Zhao Xinlian couldn’t hold it in and let out a burp.

"..." Her gaze shifted to Chen Wei, worried he might make fun of her.

As it turned out, Zhao Xinlian was overthinking it. Chen Wei wasn’t a child, and there was no way he would tease her over something like that.

Having eaten her fill, Zhao Xinlian suddenly felt much more relaxed, her fatigue lessened, and she was ready to get back to work.

At that moment, Chen Wei silently came up behind her and placed his hands on Zhao Xinlian’s shoulders.

Strangely enough, this time Zhao Xinlian wasn’t startled, but instead enjoyed it very skillfully.

Then she suddenly remembered that before they divorced, whenever she came home dragging from a busy day, exhausted to the bone, Chen Wei would always come up behind her like this and massage her to help her relax.

That sensation was truly too comfortable, and it had been too long.

After such a long time without feeling it, feeling it once again made Zhao Xinlian realize clearly that Chen Wei was not as worthless as she had imagined during those three years.

He had contributed a lot, only he didn’t speak of it every day, every moment, as if afraid others wouldn’t know.

He simply made his contributions in silence, silently took on burdens for her, and shared everything.

While she had seen nothing, only deeming him useless, thinking he did nothing, that he was not a man...

"Sorry about that," she blurted out unexpectedly from her mouth.

"Sorry?" Because it was so sudden, Chen Wei found it a bit hard to understand what she was trying to express.

"I think I might understand how you felt back then now. I take back what I said before, you are not useless, nor worthless. You are valuable; you did a lot for me, I just didn’t understand," Zhao Xinlian expressed her feelings.

She didn’t know why she had chosen to open up to Chen Wei at that moment.

Maybe because her body was too relaxed?

Zhao Xinlian really couldn’t pin it down.

"It’s all in the past," Chen Wei responded with those four words, suggesting that Zhao Xinlian shouldn’t overthink it.

It’s all in the past...

Hearing these four words, Zhao Xinlian felt a complex whirl of emotions, a sense of loss, hoping to hear Chen Wei say it didn’t matter.

But then she thought, could three years of neglect and disdain be simply forgiven with a single sentence?

If someone had treated her that way, Zhao Xinlian would pay them back a hundredfold!

With Chen Wei’s current strength and status, the fact that he left her alive was enough for Zhao Xinlian to feel content.

She really shouldn’t ask for too much.

"How was it? My massage technique hasn’t gotten rusty, has it?" Chen Wei asked as he let go of her shoulders.

While moving her shoulders and hearing the faint sounds of friction from her bones, Zhao Xinlian responded, "Not only has it not gotten rusty, but it feels like it’s even improved quite a bit compared to before."

Supporting her neck and twisting it side to side, she continued, "After you finished massaging me, I feel like all the fatigue accumulated over the day has been swept clean away."

"Really now, you sure have a way with words," Chen Wei replied with a smile.

And then he walked away.

"Are you going back?" Zhao Xinlian immediately put down her pen and asked.

"What else? Do you want me to stay here and keep you company? You’re not afraid of being alone in the office, are you?" Chen Wei countered.

"If I wanted you to stay, would you agree?" As soon as she said it, Zhao Xinlian regretted it.

What in the world was she doing?
