Wen Haowen returned to the room and saw Ning Shuqian sitting on the sofa sobbing away, not acknowledging Wen Haowen upon seeing him.

Recalling how he was lectured by the Old Man just now and hearing Ning Shuqian’s sobbing and crying sounds, Wen Haowen felt annoyed to the core. However, thinking of his baby in her womb and the fact that he did actually cheat on her last night, he suppressed his annoyance and said in a gentle tone, “Stop crying. You’re pregnant and crying is bad for your eyes. I was really just socializing with Director Wang and the rest and didn’t cheat on you.”

“The papers and magazines have already reported with a photo of you and another woman and you still say that you didn’t cheat on me?” Ning Shuqian’s depressed expression faded off a bit and her shoulders stopped shaking from crying, but she was still crying non-stop.

Seeing such a situation, Wen Haowen hurriedly explained in a low voice, “Shuqian, I was really just putting up a show. You have no idea how difficult Director Wang and the rest were. I’d already filled the table with fine wine and cuisines and even asked for the top hostesses of Jiayuan to keep them company. However, that bunch of old fools kept talking about other things and didn’t even give a definite promise after a whole night. I’m so vexed.”

Thinking about last night—how he enjoyed himself so much and ended up being tricked by Director Wang and the rest—his expression didn’t look good.

Hearing this, Ning Shuqian looked down, wiped her tears, and cried even harder. With a hoarse and sobbing voice, she grumbled. “You already know that Director Wang and the rest are lecherous and yet you didn’t raise your guards…”

Director Wang and the other few directors had all along been lecherous and indecent—Haowen was no match for them. Anyway, she had been married to Wen Haowen for so many years and he had indeed not cheated on her before.

Wen Haowen saw that she had calmed down and spoke with an even gentler voice, “Shuqian, I was careless this time. It’s my fault. We’ve been married for fifteen years and you should know what kind of person I am. Previously, in order to marry you, I even fell out with the Old Man. All these years, although I haven’t been gentle and caring towards you, at least I was faithful. Additionally, you’re carrying my child now. No matter how heartless I am, I won’t cheat on you.”

Ning Shuqian cried even harder, sending huge tear drops down her face non-stop. “That was previously. I’m afraid someone feels that I’m old and not as young and beautiful as the vixens out there and thus cheated.”

Ning Shuqian knew that she couldn’t kick up too big a fuss over this matter and should just let it pass after some crying and scolding. If she were to go overboard, Wen Haowen would also feel annoyed. Wen Haowen was the only one she could rely on—naturally, she wouldn’t be so stupid as to push him away.

Wen Haowen felt embarrassed in his heart as he had indeed thought this way previously. He hurriedly raised his hand and said, “I swear to heaven and earth that I’m faithful to you only. I know that you’re upset about the scandalous news arising during your pregnancy. If you’re unhappy, you can hit and scold me freely.”

Ning Shuqian cried in Wen Haowen’s arms. “Haowen, do you know that when I saw the papers and magazines this morning, it struck me like a bolt out of the blue. When I think of you and other women… my heart aches like it’s being stabbed by a knife. Those women are young and beautiful, I’m madly jealous…”

Hearing these words from the bottom of Ning Shuqian’s heart, Wen Haowen’s heart felt like it was being scalded by a hot iron. “Shuqian, I’m sorry. I was too careless this time and made you feel bad.”

Ning Shuqian only cried incessantly.

Wen Haowen didn’t know what to do. When he recalled that he had indeed cheated on her last night, he felt slightly guilty. He also recalled that a few days ago, Ning Shuqian had a nightmare, kept calling Ning Yuya’s name, and even mentioned it to him but was brushed away by him. Now that he was trying means and ways to coax Ning Shuqian, and, seeing that she was still unwilling to forgive him, he said, “Shuqian, it’s my fault this time. Why don’t I arrange for Yuya to come back to make it up to you?”

Ning Shuqian’s gazed softly at Wen Haowen, her gorgeous face had a pale charm and actually radiated a weak allure. However, she spoke in an extremely stubborn tone, “Don’t think that I’ll forgive you just by doing this…”
