Chapter 1330: Xinxin, Don’t Cry, Trust Me

But no matter how long she waited, the call was never picked up.

Once, twice, a third time—no one answered.

Mo Chuxi had every reason to believe that those few dozen seconds of voice call history shown on WeChat had to be problematic.

The rain was coming down harder and harder.

Mo Chuxi stepped on the gas and sped all the way back to the manor.

It was already past nine thirty; downstairs in the living room, only the maids were walking back and forth.

Mo Chuxi went straight upstairs and turned the doorknob with a click.

The door opened, and she saw Yan Xinxin sitting alone on the bed. The cradle was empty; both of their sons were gone.

Mo Chuxi closed the door, ignoring the discomfort of her damp clothes, and quickly walked to the bedside.

"Xinxin."

"Pa!"

"..."

Completely off guard, Mo Chuxi took a solid slap from Yan Xinxin right across the face.

She lifted her bloodshot, tear-filled eyes, pressed her pink lips tightly together, and glared angrily at the silent man for a long while.

"Yes, I’m supposed to calm down and listen to your explanation, but Mo Chuxi, I can’t calm down at all. Even if you tell me this is just a misunderstanding, I still can’t calm down!"

Yan Xinxin raised her voice, and tears slipped from her eyes. She was forcing herself to hold back her anger, so her tone sounded heavily suppressed.

Hearing this, Mo Chuxi also realized how serious this was.

He lifted his hand, trying to take Yan Xinxin’s hand.

"Xinxin..."

"I don’t want to see you right now! Get out!"

"Xinxin, please calm down a little first."

"I want to calm down, that’s exactly why I don’t want to see you right now."

Yan Xinxin pushed away the hand Mo Chuxi reached out.

"Do you know why the babies aren’t in the room right now? Because I know I can’t control my emotions right now, so I had Mom and Dad take Little Buding and Little Yu Yuan away."

"Xinxin..."

"Get out, just get out! Mo Chuxi, get out!"

Crying, Yan Xinxin shoved away the man who was close to her.

Mo Chuxi let Yan Xinxin hit and curse him as she pushed him all the way to the door.

"Xinxin, I know I might have done some things wrong, but I want to tell you this: no matter what the person who picked up the phone said to you, don’t believe any of it."

Just as he was about to step out of the room, Mo Chuxi suddenly turned around, pulled Yan Xinxin into his arms, and held her tightly.

"Xinxin, Xinxin, don’t cry. Trust me, trust Brother Xi, okay? I know the person who answered your call might have said something really out of line, but you mustn’t take it seriously. Don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously..."

By the end, even Mo Chuxi’s voice was unsteady.

He didn’t know what Wen Xin had said to Yan Xinxin, but he was terrified—terrified that she was hurt, devastated, and even misunderstanding him.

The air stayed silent for quite a while. Just when Mo Chuxi thought Yan Xinxin’s emotions had finally calmed down, she broke free from his arms and lifted her tear-filled eyes.

"I believe you. I’ve never doubted you about anything, but I’m so upset, Mo Chuxi, I’m so upset!"

"Xinxin..."

"If one day you got a call, and the person on the other end told you..."

She wanted to lay out a hypothetical, but she couldn’t go on.

She looked at him, tears silently spreading down her face.

"Get out. I want to be alone and calm down."

"Xinxin..."

"I need to calm down and really think about why there would be some woman using my husband’s phone to answer the call I made to him, and then tell me that my husband is amazing, that she feels so good, that she’s crazy about my husband, and that if I, the wife, can’t satisfy you, the husband, you can always go to her!"

"..."

"Bang."

At the instant when Mo Chuxi froze at her words, Yan Xinxin shut the door and, crying, leaned her back against it.

Even if this turned out to be a misunderstanding, it still hurt her deeply.

Standing at the door, Mo Chuxi slowly unclenched his tightly balled fists.

"Xinxin, I know you’re standing right behind this door right now, and I know you can hear what I’m saying. There are only three words I want to tell you."
