"So are you saying that I came into this house, successfully hacked into your security system and tampered with the surveillance cameras? How… incredible."
"Right. If that's what really happened, it is incredible. Even though it was tampered with, the system didn't catch it… It's incredible that someone was able to obtain secret information from both Huang and RJ. Just by the facts alone, don't you think the culprit has connections with both households?"
"Jun Shang-ssi, RJ is my family's business."
"It's just that you seem to really want this divorce."
Xiao didn't say anything. Suddenly, she began to chuckle.
"Even if I wanted a divorce, I wouldn't go this far to get one. No, I couldn't even if I wanted to."
Was that true? But why did he continue to find her so suspicious?
"Tell me."
Jun Shang grabbed the liquor cup, its contents sloshing dangerously, and threw it back into his mouth in one shot.
"Even though you and Ming Yin were so close, in the 2 years we've been married, you two have never openly contacted each other. So why are you contacting each other so secretly like this?"
Xiao's pale face was looking back at him. To be honest, she was very shocked. She never thought Jun Shang would dig into their relationship so quickly and so accurately. It was almost as if he always had his suspicions, and in order to confirm his suspicions, he had purposely caused his plans to become twisted in order to lay down a trap.
Don't waver.
Xiao grabbed her liquor cup and thought to herself.
Xiao and Ming Yin would both die if she wavered now.
"Must I tell you word for word?"
"Yes, I need to hear it word for word in order to understand."
Damn it. Xiao raised her liquor cup and threw it back in one shot. Whether it was the strength found in alcohol or the power in her lies, she needed more of it now.
"He's the man I love. Ming Yin."
A cold smile spread across her lips.
"I left the man I loved to marry another man. How could I just contact him so casually? I only contacted him because there was a chance I'd be getting a divorce. My phone could have been bugged, so of course I used a different phone. Stealing money in order to obtain a divorce… I'd never be able to do something so bold. I'm sorry, but you've made a wrong guess, Jun Shang-ssi."
Jun Shang's face became frigid. However, Xiao didn't stop. She couldn't stop.
"Love?"
He asked as if he'd never heard that word before.
"Yes."
"You love Ming Yin?"
"Yes, that's right."
Xiao's hand holding the liquor cup began to tremble. She quickly placed it back down and clasped her hands together. She made a bold statement, thinking that it would let her off safely for today. Jun Shang would never expect something like love from her anyways. She almost laughed at the thought.
"Now you tell me something, Jun Shang-ssi. You're not living with me because you like me, isn't that right? If it wasn't for this old-fashioned contract marriage, wouldn't you have wanted to live with the woman you wanted?"
"The woman I wanted?"
This was turning out to be a fun conversation. The woman he wanted? Who was she talking about? If he tried to recall a woman he wanted, it was…
The woman in front of him. The woman that was already his woman. No one but YunXiao came to mind.
Suddenly, the liquor cup that he was raising to his mouth stopped in the air.
What?
What did he think just now?
What did he… Just now…
"I'm talking about Secretary Rong, Jun Shang-ssi."
The harsh voice pierced through his shock.
"What?"
"Secretary Rong. Your lover, Rong Ming."
What did she say?
It was now Jun Shang's turn to stare in confusion at Xiao.
Rong Ming? What kind of joke was this? Rong Ming and Jun Shang were friends. Just friends. A friend he didn't even view as a woman. No matter how beautiful her figure was… He didn't want to be crude, but she wasn't the type of person that made his cock stand up in attention.
"Where did you get the idea that Secretary Rong is my lover?"
At Jun Shang's confused words, Xiao's face reddened. Jun Shang was even more dumbfounded.
What kind of person does she think I am?
It was true that their marriage was arranged. However, he wasn't the type of man to fool around with a woman that wasn't his wife. He did lust for YunXiao, but more than that, he had enough work to drive him crazy. He didn't have time to keep a mistress, satisfy his desires with her, and take care of her. He's never seen a man make that kind of decision and live his life properly.
He was so shocked that he couldn't even think of words to say. His mouth twisted. He was annoyed with all this nonsense. He already had a headache about the whole Tokyo fiasco, but all this love nonsense was almost laughable.
"What proof do you have to make this claim?"
Xiao couldn't speak anymore.
"Aren't you saying this because you have something to back it up?"
If she told him that she saw Rong Ming leave his bedroom that night, she would be admitting to tampering with the surveillance system. Xiao grit her teeth.
"It's just a feeling."
"What? A feeling?"
How ridiculous.
However, there was another problem. While Xiao was chattering away about this, Jun Shang was becoming more dangerous.
Ahh, does she know?
