Shao Cixin once said that when she went out of tune, she was rearranging music.

Wen Zhihan felt that her logic was flawless. Rearranging music was the same as composing.

Wen Yu had not yet recovered from the word “composing.”

Composing?

Why didn’t she know that Shao Cixin could do this before?

Was it a new skill?

But before she could finish her thoughts, another sentence floated into her ear.

“Why are you calling your sister-in-law?”

Wen Yu: “…”

Sister-in-law, what a harsh title.

She retreated from the honorific and asked instead, “Why don’t you first tell me why you answered her call?”

Wen Zhihan smiled softly and said, “I am her wife. We live together. Her phone rang. I helped answer the call. Isn’t this normal?

“You can’t understand such simple logic? Then what were you doing when you were in school?”

“…”

Wen Yu was not in a good mood. “Stop being so aggressive, Wen Zhihan. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning!

“You are plotting against Cixin. All of your affection is fake, and you are simply trying to take advantage of her!”

Shao Cixin and Wen Zhihan’s marriage was destined to be a scheme from the beginning.

Wen Zhihan took advantage of Shao Cixin’s kindness and feelings of filial piety.

Wen Zhihan was nothing but a cunning fox who had been planning this for a long time!

When Wen Zhihan heard Wen Yu’s accusation, she calmly set her documents on the table.

Her red lips parted slightly, and she said slowly, “Really? Then tell me, how did I take advantage of Cixin?”

She was always so calm.

Wen Yu hated this aspect of her sister the most. It was like Wen Zhihan was invulnerable to all kinds of weapons and poisons.

Wen Yu bit her lip. She finally said in a negative tone, “You know very well what you’re doing. Do you need someone else to tell you?”

Wen Zhihan smiled. “I don’t need others to tell me what I’m doing, but you might.”

Wen Yu didn’t understand what she meant.

Wen Zhihan said calmly, “Wen Yu, have you settled the matter with Miss Tian?”

Wen Yu was stunned.

Wen Zhihan continued, “Have you finished the work I assigned you?”

Wen Yu: “…”

Wen Zhihan raised her hand to support her head, and her long pale fingers brushed over her beautiful eyebrows.

She closed her eyes like she was meditating.

“You haven’t even settled your own affairs, and you dare to point your fingers at mine? Who gave you the courage?”

Wen Zhihan’s tone was as gentle as the wind, but there was a hint of majesty that could not be ignored. It was a voice that made people dare not offend her.

Wen Yu: “…”

To be honest, she was a little afraid of Wen Zhihan now.

In Wen Yu’s last life, although they had a bad personal relationship, they were still related, so Wen Zhihan essentially ignored her and left her to fend for herself.

For many years, this was how the two of them were able to live in peace and harmony.

After Wen Zhihan slapped her, their relationship deteriorated. Every time they met, a cold air would linger around them. Yet, at the same time, nothing else ever happened.

This life was different.

Wen Zhihan started to take care of her.

Not only did she push Wen Yu into Guanglan, but she also strictly controlled Wen Yu’s monthly allowance and even the number of times she could go out!

Wen Zhihan’s attitude towards Wen Yu was also harsher and colder. She looked gentle on the surface, but in reality, she was a terrifying iron-faced Asura!

Her wife was gone, and her elder sister had also changed.

She didn’t expect that a rebirth could bring about so many butterfly effects!

“Who are you talking to?”

Shao Cixin’s voice suddenly came from the receiver.

Wen Yu couldn’t help but hold her breath, and the name she dreamed about day and night suddenly came to her lips.

Wen Zhihan opened her eyes.

Shao Cixin was wiping the water droplets from her hair while looking at the phone in Wen Zhihan’s hand with a raised eyebrow.

If she wasn’t mistaken, that was her phone?

Wen Zhihan handed Shao Cixin’s phone over to her. “It’s Wen Yu, your sister-in-law.”

Then she began to observe Shao Cixin’s reaction.

She didn’t want to see an expectant expression on Shao Cixin’s face.

She hoped that Shao Cixin had really given up on Wen Yu, and that there would be no more ripples in her heart upon the mention of Wen Yu’s name.

She hoped that Shao Cixin could let go of the past, start over, and accept a new life…as well as new feelings.

Shao Cixin looked at the phone in Wen Zhihan’s hand and rolled her eyes.

After two seconds of silence, she didn’t pick up her phone. She continued to wipe her hair, as she said, “Does she have something to say? Then let her say it to you. You’re her sister. What can’t she tell you?

“I have to dry my hair. I’m busy, and I don’t have time to answer the phone.”

Her response was satisfactory.

Wen Zhihan hid her feelings and brought Shao Cixin’s phone back to her ear. With a slight smile, she said, “Your sister-in-law is busy and has no time to answer your call.”

Wen Yu: “…”

Could something like wiping your hair be considered “busy???”

Forget it, she was too angry!

When she didn’t hear a reply, Wen Zhihan lifted Shao Cixin’s phone from her ear and took a look—Wen Yu had hung up.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, put Shao Cixin’s phone on the table, and turned to the person next to her who was focused on wiping her hair. “My apologies, Cixin. I answered your phone without your permission.”

Shao Cixin stopped what she was doing and looked at Wen Zhihan. She suddenly smiled. “Answer it. It doesn’t matter. I also believe our Zhihan is a sensible child.”

Wen Zhihan was slightly startled.

This was the second time Shao Cixin allowed her to step into her private realm.

The distance between them seemed to be getting closer and closer.

After realizing this, Wen Zhihan suddenly looked forward to the future.

Maybe one day, she could truly enter Shao Cixin’s heart and become the person she loved.

The two of them sat next to each other peacefully.

Shao Cixin dried her hair carefully and meticulously.

Wen Zhihan waited for her to speak.

She was waiting for Shao Cixin to ask what Wen Yu said, but she didn’t hear Shao Cixin speak up for a long time.

“Cixin,” Wen Zhihan couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you going to ask me what she said?”

Shao Cixin put down her towel, raised her hands to straighten her hair, and said casually, “Is what she said important? If it’s not important, it’s not worth listening to.”

Wen Zhihan lifted her head and looked at Shao Cixin. She gently smiled and began testing the water between them. “Cixin, what if I don’t think it’s important but you might think it’s important?”

What a profound statement.

Shao Cixin turned to face Wen Zhihan. There was no trace of abnormality in Wen Zhihan’s expression, as if she was simply asking for a “judgment” of what was important and nothing else.

But Shao Cixin didn’t think so.

Wen Zhihan had previously been resistant to the idea of Shao Cixin getting back together with Wen Yu, not wanting to deal with the burden of her wife’s previous relationship with her sister.

So Shao Cixin definitely couldn’t let Wen Zhihan believe she still had Wen Yu in her heart. This was not conducive to the development of their relationship!

Shao Cixin set her towel aside and slid closer to Wen Zhihan. Then she placed her hands on Wen Zhihan’s shoulders and stared into her eyes.

She vowed seriously, “Wen Zhihan, I solemnly declare that I don’t like Wen Yu anymore. She no longer has any place in my heart. Whether she is dead or alive has nothing to do with me.

“For certain reasons, I even hate her—no, despise her—and I don’t want to see her at all.

“So if you think what she said is important, then it’s important. And if you think what she said is not important, then it’s not important.

“Do you understand? Mrs. Shao.”

It was rare for Wen Zhihan to see Shao Cixin like this.

Like a fierce little puppy. As long as someone said something unpleasant to provoke her, she would bite them—showing no mercy.

Wen Zhihan thought she had upset Shao Cixin, so she said very gently, “Yes, I understand.”

Shao Cixin’s brows instantly relaxed.

Then she heard Wen Zhihan ask softly, “Cixin, can I know what those reasons are?”

“…”

Of course not.

At least not yet.

So Shao Cixin smiled slightly. “It’s a secret.”

Then she leaned forward and kissed Wen Zhihan, trying to divert the other person’s attention.

Wen Zhihan raised her eyebrows slightly, her movement charming and attractive.

Shao Cixin calmly argued, “You are too beautiful. I can’t withstand it, so I kissed you to show my respect for your beauty.”

After Wen Zhihan heard this, she pulled Shao Cixin into her arms and deepened their brief kiss.

Following the kiss, she gently pulled up Shao Cixin’s long hair and said, “I can’t help it either.”

Shao Cixin immediately smiled. Her peach blossom eyes curved. “Do you think I’m beautiful too?”

“Yes.”

“What a coincidence. I think I’m beautiful too.”

“…?”

Wen Zhihan once again developed a new understanding of how Shao Cixin’s brain worked.

It was always surprising…

Shao Cixin happily went to dry her hair.

After she finished blow-drying her hair, she took her phone back to the bedroom with her, humming a little tune as she walked.

Wen Zhihan liked beautiful people.

Wen Zhihan complimented her on her beauty.

Rounded up, this meant that Wen Zhihan was about to fall in love with her!

Wen Zhihan’s gaze drifted to Shao Cixin’s back as Shao Cixin left for the bedroom. She recalled the earlier events of the night and smiled.

If there were secrets, then so be it.

Everyone had secrets, including her.

Shao Cixin lay on the bed looking at her phone, mainly to see what Wen Yu said.

She really hoped that Wen Yu didn’t make Wen Zhihan angry by talking useless nonsense.

But judging from Wen Zhihan’s reaction just now, it seemed that…she wasn’t bothered?

Shao Cixin opened WeChat and clicked on her messages.

After Wen Yu made the phone call, she sent several DMs to Shao Cixin.

Every sentence reflected her concern for Shao Cixin and Shao Cixin’s “dangerous” situation.

[Scum]: Cixin, now that things have reached this point, I must warn you to be wary of Wen Zhihan!

[Scum]: She is not as simple as you think. Don’t take her for a good person. She is a sly old fox!

[Scum]: Featuring on a variety show and doing a live broadcast with you, those were probably her way of using the public’s attention to tie you up!

[Scum]: She has evil intentions toward you!

Shao Cixin’s eyes slowly fell on the last sentence, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Was Wen Zhihan plotting against her?

Wen Zhihan stayed in her study for a while.

She didn’t return to the bedroom until she was finished with her work.

Shao Cixin was lying on her side on the bed. When she saw Wen Zhihan coming in, she leaned her head against her elbow and looked at her.

Their eyes met in the silent air.

They both stopped what they were doing.

After holding eye contact with Wen Zhihan for a moment, Shao Cixin raised her hand and hooked her finger at Wen Zhihan. “Wen Zhihan, come closer to me.”

Wen Zhihan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. She looked down at Shao Cixin’s bright eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Shao Cixin scanned Wen Zhihan from top to bottom. Her gaze was direct and honest.

“Wen Yu told me something.”

“What is it?”

“She said…” Shao Cixin appraised Wen Zhihan seriously, “that you have evil intentions toward me.”

Wen Zhihan felt her heart rate seize for a brief second, but she remained unmoved on the outside, covering up her guilty conscience.

She should have guessed that Wen Yu would say those things to Shao Cixin.

It was just that Shao Cixin’s reaction…

Wen Zhihan looked at Shao Cixin’s peach blossom eyes, which were calm and steady.

The tense atmosphere between them made her feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she was being roasted alive. It was a torturous experience.

Not wanting to sit still and wait for death, Wen Zhihan took the initiative.

She leaned closer and looked at Shao Cixin with lowered eyes. When she spoke, her voice was as gentle as always.

“What do you think?

“Do you think I have evil intentions towards you…?”

The words fell on Shao Cixin’s ears.

She met Shao Cixin’s gaze, which was full of scrutiny.

Shao Cixin scanned Wen Zhihan from top to bottom, gauging Wen Zhihan’s reaction.

She looked like she was seconds away from pulling Wen Zhihan’s heart out just to take a look.

Shao Cixin said nothing.

Wen Zhihan felt her heart rate accelerating.

If Shao Cixin could really take out Wen Zhihan’s heart and see what was in it, Wen Zhihan would be defeated.

“Impossible,” Shao Cixin suddenly said firmly.

She lowered her hands, lay back in bed, and looked at Wen Zhihan leisurely.

“How could you possibly be plotting against me? It would be more accurate to say that I am plotting against you.’

Shao Cixin couldn’t think of what Wen Zhihan could do to her.

Moreover, after having been with Wen Zhihan for so long, she knew exactly what Wen Zhihan was like. She didn’t need Wen Yu to “inform” her.

Even if Wen Zhihan wanted to deceive her, she would have to be extremely skilled to deliberately maintain such a falsehood for so long.

Shao Cixin gently patted the back of Wen Zhihan’s hand and comforted her with an affirmative look. “I have been with you for so long, and I understand your character, so I won’t be so easily deceived.

“Don’t worry, I believe in you.”

Wen Zhihan: “…”

She couldn’t help but laugh softly.

She said in a low voice. “En, thank you for believing in me.”

It was a pity that she had already betrayed Shao Cixin’s trust.
