"So, you came to the Xi Family to find that mistress from back then?" Xia Wanwan said, "Why didn't you tell me any of this?"
"I didn't want to start a conflict between us over this," Xi Muchen said. "I planned to handle it and tell you afterward. I wasn't going to keep it from you forever."
Xia Wanwan roughly understood what he was thinking; he was worried that her relationship with Xi Beiyang would affect them.
Xia Wanwan was somewhat angry, but more than that, she felt heartache and moved. She clung to the man's neck and looked up to ask, "Are you worried that my relationship with Beiyang will cause us to argue? Why didn't you consider that maybe I would be on your side?"
"It's not that I didn't consider it. I just wanted to avoid unnecessary conflicts," Xi Muchen explained. "I really couldn't be sure of your stance, but I knew it would put you in a difficult and conflicted position, and I was very sure that I wouldn't back down on this matter."
