Chapter 627: Chapter 628: So It Was You Who Did It

Miao Qingqing’s body trembled slightly, and she suddenly hugged Song Xiaodong tightly, as if she wanted to melt her body into his.

Song Xiaodong hugged her back and then whispered in her ear, "Qingqing, no matter what happens, you are my good wife."

Miao Qingqing’s body stiffened, then slowly relaxed, and she lifted her head and looked at Song Xiaodong, "Did Xuanxuan tell you?"

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Yes, she told me, and she also made her stance clear. In her heart, I am her brother-in-law."

Miao Qingqing’s mouth twitched slightly, and then she sighed softly, "But I always feel like you were snatched from her by me, and even more, through abnormal means, as if I had deceived you."

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "The one who deceived me was neither you nor Xuanxuan. We have all been deceived by someone else. Xuanxuan and I analyzed it, and it’s possible you both were hypnotized."

"Hypnotism?" Miao Qingqing paused for a moment and immediately said, "You mean, someone used hypnotism to transplant the memories that originally belonged to Xuanxuan into my mind, and then sealed the memories that were truly Xuanxuan’s?"

Song Xiaodong nodded again and said, "That’s roughly the meaning. I’ve found one of the top hypnotists in the world. I told him about this, and he said that such hypnotism could only be done in a state of complete relaxation, meaning the hypnotist must be very familiar with you both. However, Xuanxuan and I have thought about it for a long time and can’t think of such a person."

"Someone close to us?" Miao Qingqing was suddenly startled, immediately furrowed her brows and thought for a while, "The people Xuanxuan and I both know are our family and some relatives, but there are few relatives on my father’s side, and not enough on my mother’s side, so who could it be? It couldn’t have been you, right?"

"Pfft!" Song Xiaodong’s face darkened instantly, "Why would you think it was me?"

Miao Qingqing glared and said, "You bastard, taking advantage of my sister and then trying to take advantage of me; thus you used such a method. Plus, you are a doctor, the most capable of such means, allowing you to monopolize both of us sisters."

Song Xiaodong was dumbstruck, and after a long while, said, "What you said does sound quite reasonable. The way you put it, I do seem like the biggest suspect."

"So what else do you have to say?" Miao Qingqing glared at Song Xiaodong.

"Wife, I’ve been wronged. To do this, it would have to start from two years ago. Would I really be so scheming?"

"Hmph, after you took advantage of Xuanxuan, you wanted to deny it and pull up your pants, so you hypnotized her to make her forget everything that happened."

"And then?" Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Qingqing with a face full of horror.

"And then... after you came back and met us, you harbored ill intentions, deliberately transferring those memories to me and tricked me into sleeping with you."

"I’m quite cunning," Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched.

Miao Qingqing rolled her eyes and said, "Exactly, after I let you succeed, you weren’t satisfied. At that time, you intentionally let Xuanxuan recover her memories so you could directly handle both the elder and younger sister, achieving both at once."

Song Xiaodong wore a bitter smile and said, "Qingqing, if I weren’t part of this game, and I were an outsider, I would definitely believe your analysis. It really makes sense."

"Look at that... you bastard. I knew it, you had thoughts about Xuanxuan and you always wanted to keep it from me. You’re utterly shameless." As Miao Qingqing spoke, she fiercely bit down on Song Xiaodong’s shoulder.

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, this was a complete setup. Miao Qingqing’s words seemed to bait out his thoughts about Xuanxuan; he had thought that Miao Qingqing was somewhat slow in matters of the heart, but she turned out to be cunning, and he was no match for her.

Song Xiaodong had no choice but to brace himself and said, "Hey, hey, Qingqing, don’t bite. I was just following your train of thought, you really led me down the garden path."

Miao Qingqing released his mouth and huffed, "If you didn’t have those ideas, could I have led you down that path?"

"This..." Song Xiaodong felt guilty and smiled bitterly, "Alright, I admit it, any man seeing you would probably have those thoughts, but people always have some self-control, and my self-control isn’t bad."

"Not bad my foot, ever since you met me, you’ve been a big pervert, you’ve been taking advantage of me from the very beginning, always a big ruffian."

Song Xiaodong was speechless and smiled wryly, "But after we got together, haven’t I restrained myself? We can’t always see the present through the past."

Miao Qingqing snorted and ignored Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong gave a dry laugh but wasn’t really scared because Miao Qingqing was still nestled in his arms, which meant she wasn’t truly very upset, "Qingqing, the most important thing right now is to find out who harmed us. I feel this matter is really important. Whoever it is, their scheming is too deep, and we’re still being played in the palm of their hand, which is really annoying."

Miao Qingqing also shifted her focus and said, "I don’t understand either. Going through such trouble must have benefits for him. But as it turns out, it feels like only you will benefit, otherwise I wouldn’t have said what I said just now."

Song Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said, "If anyone is to benefit, it must be me alone; it seems no one else benefits. But if we think from another angle, could this be intended to exploit the relationship between us and then provoke conflicts with others? Like with the recent Sun family and the relationship between us and the Su family suddenly became confrontational."

Miao Qingqing was stunned, then also frowned in deep thought. After a while, she said, "It’s not impossible. But who would do this? Who has a reason and motive? Most importantly, it has to be someone we know well. The pool of candidates is very small yet, frustratingly, we can’t figure out who it could be."

Song Xiaodong also felt overwhelmed and said, "Anyway, that guy will be here in a few days to check on you, and maybe then we’ll find out who did this. By then, all the truths will likely come to light."

Miao Qingqing suddenly hugged Song Xiaodong and said, "I suddenly feel scared of the truth being revealed. I feel like it’s something I can’t accept."
