What had he done to upset her?
“Dear, what did I do wrong?”
Xu Xiyan crossed her arm as she sat primly on the bed. She deliberately pouted at him and said, “Huo Yunshen, do you know what your mistake was?”
Huo Yunshen shook his head.
“Okay, do a hundred push-ups first. Then I’ll tell you.” Xu Xiyan decided to keep him wondering first.
Huo Yunshen was really eager to know the reason. He said nothing and immediately went down on all fours and began to do push-ups.
His arms were particularly strong and one hundred push-ups were nothing to him. He did them without trouble and soon he was done.
He stood up from the ground and dusted his hands. “Okay, dear. Can you tell me now?” he said.
Xu Xiyan glared at him for a moment with her head c.o.c.ked to the side, then she asked, “Why didn’t you tell the truth when I had asked which department in JS you are from that day?”
Huo Yunshen was shocked. Could it be that… she had already known his ident.i.ty?
Oh no. Was his missus going to be angry with him?
Huo Yunshen came over placatingly and sat down beside her. “I said that I’m from headquarters, right?”
“Then why didn’t you tell me that you are… Zeus?”
She had started the first half of the sentence in a questioning tone, but the latter part of the sentence was spoken in a resentful tone.
She was upset that he had not told her the truth and had hidden such a major ident.i.ty from her. Is he even treating her as his family or not?
Now that Xu Xiyan had found his ident.i.ty out, Huo Yunshen decided not to hide from her anymore. He said to her sincerely, “I’m sorry, dear. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I was afraid that you would become worried if I told you about my ident.i.ty.”
“Is that really so?”
“Yes. Do you know how many people want my head as long I’m in this position? If I had told you in the beginning, I was afraid that I would scare you away. What woman is willing to marry a man who is constantly in danger?”
