"sorry."

The man's sudden and serious apology left Song Mai confused.

"Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"

Ji Fenghe looked out the window. Compared to the pain in his eyes before, his eyes were firm and sincere now.

"I was biased before. It was wrong of me to deliberately target you. I apologize to you and hope you can forgive me."

Song Mai looked at him and shook his head silently.

"It's all in the past. I don't take it to heart. You don't have to worry about it either. Some things are better to talk about."

It was true that Ji Fenghe was somewhat against her when she first entered Yunxing, but to put it bluntly, that was simply because he did not trust her work ability. And his targeting was just because he did not assign projects to her in a timely manner and had a bad attitude towards her, which did not cause her any real harm.

Later, as he gradually recognized his own abilities, his self-targeting attitude disappeared.

Including when she encountered a disaster in the Western Country before, he rushed back to help her.

Song Mai is not a person who likes to quibble. It is normal for adults to have misunderstandings and conflicts when working outside. As long as he doesn't go too far, it will be fine after talking it out.

At this point, she seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly explained:

"By the way, I want to make one thing clear. I really am not related to anyone."

Ji Fenghe didn't expect her to say that suddenly, and he suddenly laughed.

"I believe you."

The car stopped outside the man’s community gate.

"arrive."

Ji Fenghe thanked him and pushed the door open to get out of the car.

The man didn't leave until he saw Song Mai's car driving away.

Looking at the car lights lit up in the darkness, it seemed as if a light also lit up somewhere in his heart, illuminating a corner of his heart which had been pitch dark.

The man stood in the darkness for a long time.

After a while, he opened his thin lips and uttered two words silently:

"Thank you."

Everything seems to have a new beginning.

Because of sending Ji Feng off and wasting some time, when Song Mai got home it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and Chu Xing had already arrived home.

When Song Mai pushed open the door, the man was sitting in the living room watching the news. He didn't even turn his head when he heard the door open.

The air pressure in the living room was terribly low. Song Mai changed her shoes quietly and took off her coat and hung it at the entrance.

While observing the man's expression, he said:

"Why are you still sitting in the living room so late?"

And when did he usually turn on the TV?

At this time on weekdays, he is either working in the study or working overtime in the company and has not returned yet. Since moving into this house, this TV is just a decoration to him.

Chu Xing's voice was hoarse and dull.

"It's so late, didn't you just come back?"

Song Mai knew the man was unhappy when he heard it, and said quickly:

"Just this once, I promise, I won't do it again next time."

And it was because he said he had to work overtime today that she hung out with Lin Ran for a while longer, and she also met Ji Fenghe on the way back, otherwise she would never have gotten home at this time.

"Where did you go?"

The man ignored what she said, his slightly narrowed eyes full of danger.

Song Mai swallowed and spoke in a muffled voice.

"I had dinner with Lin Ran."

Her answer obviously did not convince the man. He supported his head with one hand and looked at the woman standing beside him with squinted eyes.

"Eating till now?"

Song Mai twisted her clothes, feeling guilty for no reason, and her eyes were a little vague when she looked at the man.

She didn't know why she felt guilty, but at this moment she had an inexplicable illusion that she had gone out to find someone else behind his back.

"He also sent the manager of our department home."

Chu Xing sneered.

"Send him home? You didn't think of picking me up from get off work, but sent another man home? Song Mai, you are really getting more and more capable."

He looked into Song Mai's eyes and spoke word by word.

The man's eyes were deep and sharp, and Song Mai didn't dare to look up.

She muttered quietly, "You were the one who said you wanted to work overtime, and I don't know when you'll get off work."

It’s not that she didn’t want to pick him up from get off work. Ever since she got a car, she had suggested that she could take him to and from get off work, but he always refused.

Moreover, he has never told her the address of his company, and never tells her when he will get off work every time he works overtime.

Now, just because she came back late because she sent Ji Feng home, he turned around and blamed her?

This is not the way to be jealous.

The man glanced at her:

"Is this the reason?"

Song Mai: “…”

Song Mai was speechless for a while after being asked by him.

She said with a stiff upper lip:

"This is not an excuse, this is a reason. It's not that I won't pick you up, it's that I don't know the address of your company, nor do I know when you get off work, so I can't pick you up. As for sending Manager Ji back, it was just a favor for him. He couldn't get a taxi, and I just happened to pass by. I can't just not help him. He helped me last time in the West Country, so I sent him back. It delayed him a little, but it's not too much, right?"

Chu Xing didn't insist on talking about why Song Mai didn't take him home.

He knew that he had indeed spoken without thinking out of jealousy, and that what he said was somewhat nonsensical and illogical.

And she was right, it was indeed him who made it impossible for her to pick him up, and it was not her problem.

But as for the second half of Song Mai's sentence, he pulled Song Mai over, let her sit on his lap, and stared at her without blinking.

"Don't forget, you're married, you don't need me to teach you what to do, ok?"

The man's voice ended with an upward sound, and his clear and pleasant voice was a little hoarse, which made him seem strong and seductive.

Song Mai's heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

Her face turned red all the way to her ears, and she stammered, "I just took him home."

She and Ji Fenghe only had the simplest relationship of superiors and subordinates. If their relationship was closer now and they could be considered friends, they were still just friends. She had never thought that her simple act of sending Ji Fenghe home would make Chu Xing so jealous.

Chu Xing's hand passed by her ear, and he pushed the loose hair on the woman's temples behind her ear, looking at her with burning eyes.

"Yeah, I know. Just a reminder. If you tell me anything, I'll be worried."

It was the first time for her to come home so late. If she hadn't replied to the messages he sent her, he would have thought something had happened to her.

Song Mai nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, I will tell you in time next time."

The man held Song Mai in his arms, but his eyes were as dark as ink, making it difficult to see his emotions.

If he remembered correctly, it was this Manager Ji who made Song Mai eager to hide when he was drunk when he ran into him last time when he was taking a hot spring bath in the West Country.
