697 Wont Be Disappointing (1/2)

Xin Zemin was trying to calm down Zhao Huan who had been crying for a while now. She herself didn't know why she was crying this much? Whether it was because of her worry for Xiu or was it because of her husband's reaction? But she had already accepted the fact that her husband cheated on her. It took her years to do so but in the end, she did come to terms with the truth.

Xin Zemin cupped her face and asked, ”Huanhuan, do you really think I can cheat on you? Like ever?”

She shook her head saying, ”I didn't but all the proofs...”

He tightened his hold around her shoulders as he went on, ”You forget all those proofs for a minute and tell me, do you really think I can ever do anything to hurt you?”

Zhao Huan contemplated his words. She indeed had never been hurt by him. In fact, he did everything in his power to make her smile. Always! She bit her lip and shook her head.

”Sister-in-law, he is trying to trick you. Don't fall for it,” warned Xin Zimen in a grave voice as he glared at his elder brother.

Xin Zemin didn't even turn to him as he continued, ”I'll answer all your questions as I said but I also need some answers.” He finally turned to his younger brother and added, ”I thought she was dead. I honestly had no idea about her. Why else would I keep it a secret from Huanhuan?”

”But isn't it you who tried to kill her and her mother, Carina Novell?”

He glared at his brother in rage, ”Why would I try to kill my own daughter?”

”Maybe to hide the fact that you cheated on your wife? After all, this information can ruin your position.”

Xin Zemin gaped in disbelief, ”Am I such a person in your mind? I'd choose power over my blood? Even if and I'm emphasizing on 'if' I had really cheated on my wife, I'd still not choose such a cruel method and kill my own blood. I have that much consciousness.” He took a deep breath and said, ”Forget it. I really need to see that girl first. I need to make sure she is fine and then I have to ask her questions. Only then I can come clean before everyone.”

He held Zhao Huan's hands again and enunciated, ”Let me say it again, I had no relationship with Carina Novell. In fact, I only met her once and that too in the presence of Wen Ai. Other than that, the woman doesn't even exist for me.”

”You're making it a whole lot confusing,” said Xin Zimen.

”I don't care. Let's head out to the hospital.”

Xin Zimen opened his eyes and sighed again. He really believed his brother's words for some reason. But something stuck in his mind. It was the name of his wife; Wen Ai.
