But Cao Jianjun also knew that he couldn't afford to take any chances.

He possessed Huang Xi because the environment and the person there wouldn't affect his own family.

Xia Jie directly threatened her family. Zhou Hui had just given birth, and if he found out, the worst that could happen was that her family would be destroyed.

Therefore, Cao Jianjun really wouldn't dare to make this joke.

He knew Zhou Hui's personality very well; she was a fiery person with strong likes and dislikes.

Imagine back then, when her parents-in-law were still alive, Zhou Hui protected herself only because he was her husband, and most importantly because she felt she had done nothing wrong.

That's why Zhou Hui dared to repeatedly confront her biological mother, even going so far as to sever ties with her.

When it comes to right and wrong, Zhou Hui will never be ambiguous.

Thinking about this, Cao Jianjun felt incredibly awesome for having withstood Xia Jie's test.

"Cao Jianjun, you're so damn handsome."

Unable to resist praising himself, Cao Jianjun stubbed out his cigarette, stepped on the gas, and drove home.

If you haven't done anything wrong, you'll walk with boundless energy.

As the saying goes, "One should frequent brothels far away and gamble nearby."

Cao Jianjun doesn't consider himself a particularly fickle person, but he would never play with fire on his own doorstep.

The car leisurely arrived downstairs. After getting out of the car, Cao Jianjun bought some food at the fruit shop and carried it upstairs.

at this time.

It was already past five in the afternoon, the sky was full of sunset colors, and the day was about to end.

When she got home, the nanny and her sister-in-law had taken the baby out for a walk, leaving Zhou Hui alone sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"Honey, you didn't go out either?"

Cao Jianjun put the fruit he bought downstairs aside, washed his hands, and asked.

"Xia Jie sent it back?"

Zhou Hui leaned against the sofa armrest, her legs curled up, and looked Cao Jianjun up and down.

"Yes, it's been sent back."

"Are you alright?"

"No."

Cao Jianjun couldn't bear his wife's gaze, so he deliberately made up an excuse: "Hey, I was just being pressured too much by her mother, and I felt a little upset, so I secretly drank a little too much at noon."

After saying that, Cao Jianjun sat down opposite Zhou Hui and casually turned on the television.

however.

Zhou Hui's eyes remained fixed on Cao Jianjun, as if she were meeting him for the first time, looking him over from head to toe, from left to right.

Cao Jianjun was already worried about being discovered, and being stared at like that made him feel uneasy.

"Cao Jianjun!"

really.

Zhou Hui's eerie voice came through.

Cao Jianjun tried his best to appear innocent: "What's wrong? Honey, are you hungry? You didn't eat well at noon, so... I'll make you something? What would you like to eat? Your husband will cook..."

As he spoke, he got up and prepared to go to the kitchen.

"come over!"

Zhou Hui's face darkened, and she beckoned to Cao Jianjun with her finger.

That's terrifying!

Cao Jianjun swallowed hard, his smile more like a grimace: "Wife, stop it. I smell like sweat. Should I go take a shower?"

"I asked you to come over!"

"..."

There's nothing we can do about it.

Cao Jianjun pursed his lips awkwardly, like a child who had scored zero on a test, and walked up to his mother with a bit of guilt.

"Wife, you..."

Cao Jianjun wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly, Zhou Hui suddenly reached out and grabbed Cao Jianjun's collar, pulling him towards her.

Then, Zhou Hui brought her nose close to her husband's clothes and sniffed them. Immediately, her eyes rolled upwards, and she glared at him coldly.

Finish the calf!

What are you afraid of?

Cao Jianjun closed his eyes and let out a desperate sigh.

"roll!"

Zhou Hui shoved Cao Jianjun away forcefully again, her face flushed, and said angrily, "Do you think I can't smell it? How long are you planning to keep it from me?"

"Wife, wife..."

Cao Jianjun panicked.

He saw with his own eyes that Zhou Hui's eyes were brimming with tears as she left, and immediately sat down and went over to her.

"Go away!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hui kicked her, saying, "You smell like another woman. I find you disgusting."

"Cao Jianjun, I really didn't expect that now that you've made a contribution and been promoted, you even want to have a few more wives?"

"I was wondering why Xia Jie had been acting so strangely lately. Last time she came, she said she was embarrassed to see me..."

"Tell me, when did you two start dating?"

"Was it when I was pregnant? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why?"

"If you had told me sooner, I would have aborted the child and let you two be together."

As Zhou Hui spoke, she became increasingly distraught, bursting into hysterical sobs and screams, her chest heaving violently.

damn it.

Cao Jianjun felt heartbroken seeing this, so he took off his shirt and threw it aside.

Then, he took out his phone, found the call log, and handed it to Zhou Hui.

"Wife, look for yourself..."

"I left the hotel at what time, and then I called Li Dawei to ask where they were staying."

"I just want to send Xia Jie back. If you don't believe me, you can go find Li Dawei."

"Also, the smell on me is because I hugged Xia Jie."

Cao Jianjun certainly couldn't tell the truth.

Not to mention that if he really told Xia Jie what happened today, Zhou Hui would hate Xia Jie to death, and she might even refuse to believe that he didn't touch Xia Jie.

Therefore, Cao Jianjun would never stand up for Xia Jie's confession to him.

“Xia Jie shared an apartment with Li Dawei and Zhao Jiwei, and there were security cameras downstairs.”

"Oh, by the way, we also have a dashcam in the car. Do you want to go back and check it?"

"When I arrived downstairs at Li Dawei's place, Xia Jie was already completely drunk and unconscious..."

"I had no choice but to carry her upstairs."

"How about I take you to check the surveillance footage? How long I stayed upstairs and the time it took for me to come in and out will match up."

Cao Jianjun also adopted a self-righteous attitude: "I just don't understand. If I had known it would be like this, I should have asked the director to pick up Xia Jie. How could you have thought of this?"

Zhou Hui felt a little guilty after hearing this nonsensical explanation.

Her intense emotions subsided slightly, and she looked at Cao Jianjun with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Really?"

"Honey, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Cao Jianjun felt wronged: "How many years have we been married? Is it because I'm leaving that you're overthinking things?"

Zhou Hui fell silent.

She pouted and looked at Cao Jianjun with teary eyes, just like a wronged child.

"How about I don't go to the provincial department?"

Cao Jianjun began to shift the blame: "I'll make a phone call to the provincial leaders and stay in Balihe."

"From now on, I'll stay by your side and the baby's side, and we'll live a good life together, okay?"

"do not want!"

Zhou Hui gradually realized that she had gone too far.
