Thank You, Missus (3)

Xi Xiaye felt doubtful when she saw him like this. She just looked at him quietly as a warm light crossed her eyes.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them and returned to his usual calmness.

"It was a woman," he said quietly as he looked at her genuinely. "Xiaye, I'm not looking into who's at fault here, I won't deny what I've done in the past as well. If telling you these can help you understand the truth better, I'm more than willing to tell you…"

She was stunned for a moment as she blinked several times. After giving it some thought, she seemed to understand something. "A woman? You liked that woman before? Or was she someone who loved you?"

He suddenly laughed as he studied her with his quiet eyes when he patted her head. He shook his head and said, "Nope, we've just met a few times. How could that happen?"

She narrowed her eyes at him and said, "Who knows? It might be love at first sight!"
