After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

"Then we can relax for a while." Su Xiaoxi smiled excitedly after hearing this.

However, that excitement was mixed with melancholy.

"Yes." Nangong Che responded, but his eyes remained on Su Xiaoxi's back.

He found that Su Xiaoxi seemed to be much thinner than before after not seeing him for nearly half a year.

He remembered that her round face before was now sharp and thin.

"By the way, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops?" Su Xiaoxi suddenly looked back and asked doubtfully. According to their character, they should not give up easily.

Nangong Che was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "We don't win every time, the Beirong people are cunning."

"Oh..." Su Xiaoxi responded, and then continued to wipe the medicine bottle without any doubt.

However, she always felt something was weird, and to what extent she couldn't describe it at the moment.

Night fell quietly, and Su Xiaoxi sat on the bed alone, her head spinning rapidly, looking for various clues.

"What are you doing?" Just when Su Xiaoxi was trying hard to think about what was strange, Cheng Shubai pushed open the door and walked in.

Hearing the voice, Su Xiaoxi quickly came to her senses and said, "You're back."

"Yes." Cheng Shubai walked into the room and put the food box he was carrying on the table.

Opening the food box, the aroma hit her nostrils, and Su Xiaoxi suddenly felt hungry.

"Eat." Cheng Shubai brought out a bowl of rice and handed it to Su Xiaoxi.

After taking over the job, Su Xiaoxi started gobbling it down without saying a word, regardless of her image.

"Slow down." Seeing Su Xiaoxi looking ugly when eating, Cheng Shubai frowned and reminded.

Su Xiaoxi said vaguely while devouring it, "I'm hungry."

Cheng Shubai shook his head helplessly, took the chopsticks and began to eat with Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi ate too quickly, choking on a mouthful of food and coughing several times.

"Drink some soup." Seeing this, Cheng Shubai quickly handed the bowl to Su Xiaoxi's lips and took a spoonful of it to Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi originally refused, but Cheng Shubai insisted on letting her drink it. She couldn't resist and could only drink it reluctantly.

"You..." Su Xiaoxi was about to ask, but Cheng Shubai interrupted her, "Stop talking nonsense, drink the porridge first, and then you will have the strength to eat."

Cheng Shubai's tone was obviously domineering and commanding.

So, Su Xiaoxi had to obediently lower her head and drink the rice porridge in the bowl.

After Su Xiaoxi drank up all the rice porridge, Cheng Shubai put away the empty bowl and then went to fill up another bowl.

Looking at Cheng Shubai's busy figure, Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so nice to me?"

These words have actually been held in her heart for a long time.

She wanted to know what Cheng Shubai's intention was. When Cheng Shubai heard this, his footsteps visibly paused.

Then the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he glanced sideways, looking at Su Xiaoxi with his dark and deep eyes, and said in a low voice, "No reason is needed."

"Oh!" Su Xiaoxi pouted, but her heart was still filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, sir." Su Xiaoxi said sincerely.

Cheng Shubai did not speak, but stretched out his hand to touch Su Xiaoxi's forehead, as if to test whether her fever had subsided.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxi felt warm in her heart. Perhaps, apart from her parents, only Cheng Shubai would be so considerate to her in this life.

"Ms. sir, have you liked me for a long time?" Su Xiaoxi blinked and asked with a smile.

She really wanted to know what was the reason that made Cheng Shubai be so considerate to her.

Cheng Shubai looked at Su Xiaoxi with a dull expression, "What do you think?"

Su Xiaoxi shrugged and said she didn't know.

"My lord, tell me, I can't guess." Su Xiaoxi pulled Cheng Shubai's sleeves and acted coquettishly, completely forgetting that her current appearance was completely different from her usual appearance.

Cheng Shubai looked at Su Xiaoxi's outfit and felt helpless.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Su Xiaoxi asked again, as if she wanted to confirm something.

"No." Cheng Shubai denied.

Su Xiaoxi's eyes widened instantly and she looked at Cheng Shubai in astonishment.

He actually said he was not stupid?Doesn't he think he is quite stupid?

"Since you're not stupid, why weren't you willing to tell me your true identity when we got married?" Su Xiaoxi thought about this question all the way.

From the beginning of Cheng Shubai's marriage to her, she felt that he was too enthusiastic about her.

"Do you want to know?" Cheng Shubai asked.

Su Xiaoxi nodded. She really wanted to know. She wanted to know why Cheng Shubai helped her so much.

"I think." Su Xiaoxi nodded sincerely.

"But I don't want to tell you." Cheng Shubai's tone was indifferent, as if he was just describing an extremely ordinary thing.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi was relieved and her face fell.

"I don't care. If you don't tell me, I'll be relying on you."

After saying that, Su Xiaoxi hugged Cheng Shubai's arm and leaned on his shoulder.

Cheng Shubai looked at Su Xiaoxi's movements, a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but still did not answer Su Xiaoxi's question.

"Why don't you speak? Tell me quickly."

"Sleep." Cheng Shubai said coldly.

"No." Su Xiaoxi stubbornly raised her head and stared at Cheng Shubai.

This guy definitely has a story.

Cheng Shubai sighed, and then slowly said, "Once upon a time, I was just like you, and I was also a playboy."

"But my parents hope that I can become a pillar, so I chose to join the court as an official." As he spoke, Cheng Shubai's eyes turned red.

"Later, when I met you, I realized that the person I liked was you."

When he said these words, Cheng Shubai's eyes were full of nostalgia and tenderness.

Listening to Cheng Shubai telling his story, Su Xiaoxi felt sour in her nose.

What Cheng Shubai said was very simple, but just this short sentence was enough to shock her heart.

Cheng Shubai's love story did not last long. Soon after, Cheng Shubai was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in prison.

Su Xiaoxi couldn't imagine how much injustice Cheng Shubai had suffered.

"Do you regret marrying me?" Suddenly, Cheng Shubai stared at Su Xiaoxi with burning eyes and asked.

Su Xiaoxi was startled. Does she regret it?Of course she has no regrets. If it weren't for Cheng Shubai, she would have turned into ashes at this moment.

"I have no regrets. Thank you for saving me." Su Xiaoxi looked at Cheng Shubai sincerely and spoke from the bottom of her heart.

Cheng Shubai looked at the girl in front of him, her eyes were open, she didn't lie to him.

"Xiao Xi'er, thank you for trusting me." Cheng Shubai's tone was filled with doting.

Su Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Which of us follows the other? We are husband and wife."

Cheng Shubai pursed his lips and smiled.
