My Secret Marriage : Meet With The Best One

Chapter 96 - ~Truth~

Mei looked at Qiao Xin with a questioning look. How could she not? This was a serious matter. At first, Mei was sure that her best friend had a secret relationship with Xiao Long. But how come when Xiao Long allowed her to take her home, Qiao Xin chose to go home with Xuan Cheng instead.

"Qiao Xin, what happened to this?" Mei asked with an annoyed expression on her face. How could she not? This is an out-of-line thing. "Didn't you want to be escorted by Mr. Han? How come now you chose to go home with Master Xuan instead? Have you gone mad?" asked Mei in a whisper? Since Mei couldn't scream, Xuan Cheng was walking with such enthusiasm in front of them. How not, getting the chance to escort Qiao Xin even though it was with Mei was a scarce thing, and Xuan Cheng would never waste that opportunity at all.

"Shut up, Mei. I just want-"

"Stop acting stupid, if you don't want to regret it!" upset Mei.

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Xuan Cheng in the end.

Mei and Qiao Xin looked at each other until Qiao Xin nudged Mei's arm for talking so much and made Xuan Cheng suspect them.

"No, it's just that Mei asked if I should stop by her apartment? Looks like it's true, I have to stop by her apartment first after we see your ornamental fish," said Qiao Xin.

Xuan Cheng seemed to be smiling. After the two got into the car, he cleared his throat, looked at Qiao Xin with an extremely embarrassed expression on his face.

"Actually, Qiao Xin. All my ornamental fish died, but I intend to buy some new ornamental fish. So after we buy ornamental fish later, how about we have dinner first?"

Qiao Xin, who was offered like that, seemed more reluctant. How could she not? Xuan Cheng had helped her from Xiao Long's figure she should be grateful to.

"Alright, looks like it's not a bad idea at all," Qiao Xin replied in the end. Now they headed straight for one of the restaurants, and then they entered it perfectly. Order some food menus and prepare to eat.

Xuan Cheng glanced at Qiao Xin's cellphone, and he seemed to be looking for a thousand and one ways to hold Qiao Xin's cellphone because he wanted to confirm what he had believed.

Xuan Cheng glanced at Qiao Xin's cell phone lying on the table, fortunately beside the cellphone, and there was mineral water that was still intact. Xuan Cheng tried to approach Qiao Xin while deliberately knocking the glass until the water spilled on Qiao Xin's cellphone.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Qiao Xin. I was totally unintentional!" Xuan Cheng said Qiao Xin looked panicked when she saw her phone that was in the water.

"How about this?" Qiao Xin panicked if who damaged her cell phone. It was inevitable, and Xiao Long would kill her ideally.

"Don't worry," Xuan Cheng immediately grabbed Qiao Xin's cell phone, which made Qiao Xin even more confused. "This cell phone is very sophisticated, it won't even break even if it's submerged in water for a few days, just dry it and everything will be fine," Xuan Cheng said again.

He immediately opened the case that Qiao Xin had bought, then tried to wipe Qiao Xin's phone with his handkerchief. His eyes were instantly fixed on the sentence on the back of the cellphone, 'Mr. Han's sweet wife', a ruling that clearly explained the relationship between Xiao Long and Qiao Xin.

"How, is my phone okay?" Qiao Xin asked in the end.

Mei, who had been watching Xuan Cheng's stiff facial expression, seemed to find it strange, yes, even Xuan Cheng had been odd since Xuan Cheng had brought Qiao Xin home.

"Oh, it's okay, Qiao Xin. Everything went normally," Xuan Cheng replied, handing the phone back to Qiao Xin. "It's a very expensive and good phone, so lucky if Tao got it for free. Moreover, the other cellphone was used by Xiao Long himself. It seems that Xiao Long doesn't like his wife very much," Xuan Cheng prodded.

Qiao Xin's expression turned frantic, but she still tried to remain calm. She should not look panicked, especially in front of the two people beside and in front of her.

"I don't know Mr. Han's personal matters, so I can't say much. Because it's none of my business," decided Qiao Xin, who immediately chose to eat instead of responding to Xuan Cheng's words. Seeing Qiao Xin's behavior avoiding the conversation made Xuan Cheng even more aware that something was wrong here, and Xuan Cheng would find out what was wrong.

"Actually, I feel sorry for Xiao Long. How not, at the age that he is now married is something a little forced. In fact, I didn't even know who his wife was until this moment."

Qiao Xin immediately choked. She even had to take Mei's drink because of Xuan Cheng's words.

"Qiao Xin, are you okay? Why are you acting really weird," Mei scolded. Qiao Xin just smiled stiffly.

"As far as I know, even though we are far away and even though he and I can't get along, I always get news from Xuan. Xuan even said that he who was always with Xiao Long was shocked too. Because during this time, Xiao Long barely had a girlfriend, but how come after Grandpa Han fell ill and was critical, suddenly news of Xiao Long getting married was all over the media. It was stupid that Xuan couldn't attend the wedding and banquet at that time because of his job, if he had been able to come, we would have introduced ourselves to Xiao Long's wife. Even until this second, when his wife was mentioned and we wanted to meet his wife, Xiao Long always dodged, Xiao Long never introduced us at all. What a very strange thing, a very secret marriage for a Mr. Han, and a very strange thing if the successor of the Han family business to hide the identity of his wife. Sometimes I even think that if Xiao Long is lying, he's not really in a marital relationship. Or instead he had a contract marriage with a woman, and the woman was hidden somewhere because he just wanted to please Grandpa Han only."

Qiao Xin seemed to be breaking out in cold sweat; she didn't expect Xuan Cheng to be this observant in dealing with Xiao Long's matter. Who highlighted even Xiao Long's marital relationship matters so clearly, it was inconceivable that Xuan Cheng would find out that Xiao Long's wife was her and that Qiao Xin would suffer more than this. However, what is there to be confused about now? Qiao Xin didn't know what to do after the kiss she had with Xiao Long, and now there was another new problem that almost drove her crazy.

"Why did you tell us Mr. Han's matter, Mr. Xuan?" asked Mei at last. Somehow Mei felt that Xuan Cheng had suspected something was going on between Qiao Xin and Xiao Long. That was why Xuan Cheng had been acting strangely and had constantly pressured Qiao Xin to this extent.

Qiao Xin couldn't help but be silent, and she didn't even think that her life would turn out this bad. How could she be the subject of gossip from Xuan Cheng so horribly? Qiao Xin would have no face if only Xuan Cheng knew that Xiao Long's wife was her.

"It's okay, Mei. It's just, I'm in a dilemma with Xuan, and we can't solve this problem at all. Because I consider you good friends that's why I share my thoughts with you. Who knows you guys have an idea so that Xuan and I can meet Xiao Long's wife."

Again, Qiao Xin choked for the umpteenth time. Even now, Qiao Xin's face was as red as a boiled shrimp. Her chest ached, her throat felt hot. She then glanced at Xuan Zheng with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Why are you so eager to meddle in your best friend's private affairs? Even you two are not good friends, you guys often argue right? I think that compared to you being too curious about your best friend's personal problems, wouldn't it be better if you wait for him to introduce his wife to you himself?"

Xuan Cheng immediately covered his mouth, and he had no idea that Qiao Xin's response would be this resentful to his words. It seemed Xuan Cheng had offended too profoundly and suppressed Qiao Xin too profoundly. Supposedly, Xuan Cheng shouldn't have kept bringing up matters like this to Qiao Xin. He only knew enough, and once he knew enough, he didn't even provoke trouble in the murky water.

"I'm sorry, Qiao Xin. I didn't mean it that way at all."

"What Qiao Xin said is true, Mr. Xuan. Just like me and Qiao Xin, we are already very good friends. But when one of us has a secret or personal problem that we may still be reluctant to tell, then we will not dare to force and pressure, especially if we come up with ideas for our friends to say it or for us to know about the problem, right? it's actually not good at all? silence is what we will do, while we are always by her side. After that, we will wait when our friend starts to melt and tell us the problem.. It is the best thing for one friend to another."
