Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1570 - 1559: Unwholesome Tendencies

"What am I suspicious of!"Seeing Xu Xiaoqing still sobbing, Ning Fan said helplessly, "Then first tell me, how did this handbag come about?"

"I found it in Rose's room. It was originally a package, and I saw..."

Saying this, Xu Xiaoqing looked awkward and glanced guiltily at Ning Fan.

Ning Fan sighed and continued, "Did you see that it was addressed to me with my company as the recipient's address, so you opened it?"

Xu Xiaoqing said, surprised, "How did you know?"

"You fool. Can't you see it? This is one of Rose's tricks. Otherwise, it would have been sent out long ago. She figured you'd find this package."

"Hearing you say that..."

Xu Xiaoqing's expression suddenly changed, and she muttered to herself, "No wonder when Rose left, she specially reminded me to stay a few more days and keep an eye out for any items she might have left behind."

"Just like that." Ning Fan said with displeasure, "People set a simple trap, and you walk right into it."

"So I wrongly accused you?"

A hint of apology flashed in Xu Xiaoqing's eyes as she looked at Ning Fan, but then she suspiciously said, "But that night..."

"That night's events were, of course, part of the conspiracy."

Besides the fighting and spanking, Ning Fan explained everything that happened that night.

Xu Xiaoqing said incredulously, "You mean Rose tried to pay you to leave me."

Ning Fan said discontentedly, "When she couldn't buy me off with money, she used this trick to drive a wedge between us."

"So..."

Thinking of the earlier scene where she was crying and making a fuss, Xu Xiaoqing felt so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"What else!"

Ning Fan snorted unhappily, "You came in crying and fussing, leaving me baffled."

"Afan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"Hmph!"

"Brother-in-law, please forgive me."

"Hmph!"

"I'm your most considerate sister-in-law. You're so great, why be angry with a young girl like me."

"Cough... cough, I talked too much just now, my throat is a bit dry!"

Seeing Ning Fan stand up, Xu Xiaoqing quickly pushed him back down and then attentively said, "Brother-in-law, you rest; I'll get you some water."

"Here's the water, brother-in-law, let me help you drink."

After drinking a glass of plain water to soothe his throat, he looked at Xu Xiaoqing, who was smiling ingratiatingly, squatting like an obedient puppy.

Ning Fan said leisurely, "Xiaoqing, don't say I didn't warn you. Your groundless jealousy is quite alarming."

Xu Xiaoqing said awkwardly, "I... I was just in a hurry!"

"No matter how urgent, you should get the facts straight instead of acting indiscriminately."

Hearing these words, Xu Xiaoqing blushed deeply and stammered, "Actually, I'm not that jealous."

"You're not jealous?"

Ning Fan exclaimed in disbelief, then teased, "When you tip over this vinegar jar, the jealousy is almost sky-high."

"I'm really not like that. If it hadn't involved Rose, I wouldn't have been so angry."

"Really?"

"Really."

Xu Xiaoqing nodded, then said gloomily, "I shouldn't even be jealous."

She never forgot that she was the third party between Ning Fan and her sister.

Seeing Xu Xiaoqing's dejected face, Ning Fan nodded, "Brother-in-law believes you; don't be upset."

"Really? Will you think I'm being unreasonable?"

Ning Fan laughed, "No, considering how special the situation was."

Now Ning Fan somewhat understood the reason behind Xu Xiaoqing's behavior today.

The relationship between Xu Xiaoqing and Rose had always been tense.

Seeing these "clues" now, Xu Xiaoqing started imagining conspiracies, filling her mind with various conspiracy theories.

She thought Rose's reconciliation with her was meant to cover up her ulterior motives.

Believing she was being fooled and betrayed, Xu Xiaoqing got so angry.

Seeing peace restored, Xu Xiaoqing broke into a smile through her tears, "Brother-in-law, you're the best."

"Don't do this again in the future."

Xu Xiaoqing repeatedly nodded, promising, "No, definitely not. From now on, whatever brother-in-law says, goes."

"That's good."

Ning Fan smiled with satisfaction, "I really need to thank Rose."

Not only was he easily off the hook, but he also defused Rose's plotting and curbed Xu Xiaoqing's vinegar-drinking antics; truly a win-win.

"That damned Rose, I thought of her as a good sister, yet she tried to ruin our relationship."

Hearing this, Ning Fan nodded, "You're right. In the future, stay away from her. I think she's just craving love, often abandoned by men, so she's mentally twisted."

Getting angrier, Xu Xiaoqing put on a stern face, saying, "I want to call her and get to the bottom of this."

"Cough... there's no need for that."

Ning Fan quickly advised, "You won't see each other again; why tear each other apart?"

If Xu Xiaoqing made this call, it might reveal what happened that night.

"But I'm just not reconciled."

"You're a heroine. Just let it go and give her some face."

"Alright."

She said this, but Xu Xiaoqing's eyes darted around.

For a dear sister to scheme against her like this, if she could swallow this bitterness, she wouldn't be Xu Xiaoqing anymore.

At this moment, Ning Fan pricked up his ears, "Uh... Xiaoqing, it's work hours. Why don't you go back first?"

"Then I'll be off."

Deep in thought, Xu Xiaoqing left the office directly.

Ning Fan smiled smugly, "Thankfully, I'm alert. Otherwise, it would have been an Asura field."

Two minutes later, the adorable Lan Kexin sneaked into Ning Fan's office.

"Afan, I saw you checking in today."

As she spoke, Lan Kexin's ears turned a rosy red, as cute as a little rabbit.

"My little darling, did you miss me?"

Playing with her soft, tender hand, Ning Fan's wounded heart felt consoled.

"Mm!"

Lan Kexin let out a soft moan, her heart filled with endless shyness.

"I missed you too."

After embracing for a few quiet minutes, Lan Kexin gently asked, "I think I saw the second miss leave your office just now."

Ning Fan's heart tightened, and he laughed, "She just asked about Rose. You know she's good friends with the second miss."

"Oh!"

Lan Kexin didn't think much of it, just asked casually.

Ning Fan glanced out of the corner of his eye, suddenly going pale with fear.

The lingerie Xu Xiaoqing brought was still boldly laid out on the desk.

If he hadn't greeted Lan Kexin at the door, she would have seen it by now.

"Kexin, you're so beautiful."

"Really?"

Lan Kexin's pretty face turned blood red, glowing like a delicate rose.
