Chapter 463: Chapter 463: You Have to Pretend Better (1)_1

"That’s right, I got off work early today and thought I’d pick up your dad on my way home. But I never expected that when I got to your dad’s workplace, I saw him chatting under the tree by the entrance with a woman, laughing so heartily. He didn’t even notice when I arrived," Loo Yaxin said, and Situ Xin could clearly hear the disappointment in her voice.

Situ Xin turned to look at her dad with an unfriendly gaze. Although she didn’t really believe her dad would do something to betray her mom, in today’s society, sometimes you don’t need to want to do something bad, it just happens that some rotten people stick to you, and what happens next can be unexpected.

Feeling wronged, Situ Haotian caught his daughter’s condemning look. Seeing his wife’s disappointed expression and tone, he suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong. "Honey, I didn’t mean to, I just didn’t expect you to come looking for me, so I..."

"Don’t make excuses. If it wasn’t intentional, that’s even scarier, it means you just don’t care about me anymore. Baby, and there’s more, even worse stuff," Loo Yaxin snapped at Situ Haotian, then turned to Situ Xin and said, "Baby, you don’t know, the worst part is, when I confronted your dad, the way he introduced me to that woman, I saw contempt and hostility in her eyes. But when I told your dad, he just wouldn’t believe it. He even said I was being paranoid."

"Dad, did this really happen?" Situ Xin was now completely on her mom’s side. Regardless of whether her dad had an affair with that woman or not, he shouldn’t have taken her side. In reality, Situ Haotian wasn’t really taking the other person’s side, but Situ Xin and her mom, Loo Yaxin, definitely didn’t see it that way.

Now, Situ Xin was speaking up for her mom, seeing how emotionally fragile she was. If she, as a daughter, didn’t support her at this moment, her mom’s heart would surely hurt even more.

"Baby, listen to me, that woman is just a new assistant at my job. We only have a professional relationship. Your mom is just being too suspicious," Situ Haotian quickly explained when he saw his daughter misunderstanding him too.

"I’ll have someone look into this matter, and it would be best if it turned out mom was just being paranoid. But if that new assistant really has some inappropriate intentions, or if there’s something improper between you two... Dad, you know what I’m capable of. So don’t blame me when the time comes," Situ Xin had an almost maniacal obsession when it came to infidelity.

"Alright, alright, go ahead and investigate, Baby. It’s good for you to look into it personally, so that your mom can be reassured by the final outcome," Situ Haotian knew his daughter’s temper very well, and he wasn’t at all bothered by her not-so-friendly stance towards him.

"With that settled, let’s leave this matter here for now. Mom, is that okay?" Situ Xin was very satisfied with her father’s attitude towards the situation.

"There’s another matter besides this one," Loo Yaxin’s outburst today wasn’t without reason. If it were just this incident, she wouldn’t have made such a big fuss.

"Another matter?" both Situ Xin and Situ Haotian asked in unison after hearing Loo Yaxin’s words.

"Yes, Baby, you don’t know. I was so angry I didn’t wait for your dad and went home by myself. But on the way, I actually received a call from your dad’s ex-girlfriend, telling me she’s back from abroad. She even suggested that we should all get together and explicitly asked me to bring your dad. What does that mean? Isn’t she obviously not over your dad and wants to rekindle something with him?" Loo Yaxin’s thoughts became more certain as she fumed.

"Dad, I didn’t realize you had such a rich love history," Situ Xin said in surprise upon hearing about her dad’s ex-girlfriend. She had always believed her parents had a good relationship and that her dad loved her mom deeply. She assumed her dad had only ever loved her mom.

"Baby, what nonsense are you talking about? There has always been only your mom in my heart," Situ Haotian wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself whether today was his unlucky day as trouble seemed to follow him. And he knew that his wife, Loo Yaxin, was very sensitive about that so-called girlfriend.

"Situ Haotian, where’s the nonsense? Aren’t you the one with the rich love history? Look, Han Mengying has come back to find you today," Loo Yaxin felt suffocated when she remembered the times she saw Situ Haotian with Han Mengying in the past.

"Yaxin, it’s not what you think between me and Han Mengying. Yes, I did date her for a while back then. But wasn’t I confused about my feelings for you at that time? Once I figured it out, that it was you I loved, I broke up with Han Mengying. I haven’t been in touch with her since. Really, I swear to you," Situ Haotian felt desperate to show his sincerity and prove his loyalty to his wife.

"You may not have been in touch, but look, she’s come knocking on our door. Han Mengying is so beautiful; maybe seeing her again would reignite old flames between you. Situ Haotian, what else do you have to say?" Loo Yaxin was speaking almost incoherently in her anger.

Situ Xin, seeing her mom’s vulnerability, understood the unusual reason for her behavior today. It turns out her mom was plagued by feelings of insecurity.

However, what puzzled Situ Xin was that her mom was considered a great beauty herself, otherwise, even with the help of her spatial abilities, how could she have become so stunningly beautiful? Logically, her mom had no reason to feel insecure.

Situ Xin became intrigued by Han Mengying. She was eager to see just how beautiful this woman was to make her mother, Situ Xin, feel so insecure.
