"Misunderstanding?" Grace repeated.
What misunderstanding could there be? Xin Jie wasn't stupid... how could she be manipulated?
Seeing his wife's indifferent expression, Qin Yunxi knew she still harbored prejudice against Rong Jingyang. He patiently explained, "What PUA, what psychological manipulation, I swear, that's absolutely not something Rong Jingyang would do."
"The Rong family's upbringing is much stricter than mine."
"If you don't believe me..." He paused, then stood up. "I'll take you to Rong Jingyang to question him face-to-face."
"If he dares to lie or brush you off, I'll beat him to death!"
Grace was suddenly pulled by her husband, feeling a slight pain beneath her. "Ah—"
Qin Yunxi exclaimed, "Oops," and quickly scooped up his wife. He had almost forgotten how much she had suffered from his indulgence last night. "Sorry, sorry."
Grace glared at him. "Carry me back to the room, I need to get my phone."
She didn't believe Rong Jingyang, nor was she interested in seeing him. But since Qin Yunxi had said so, she would humor him.
"Okay." Qin Yunxi turned and headed upstairs. Knowing his wife was willing to help Old Yang mediate, he asked as he walked, "Who do you think is behind such a big misunderstanding?"
Grace said rationally, "A fly doesn't bite a seamless egg. What kind of cause leads to what kind of effect."
Qin Yunxi: "—"
Grace continued, "No matter who is behind it, Rong Jingyang is the key. If his actions hadn't disappointed Xin Jie so much, if he hadn't given Xin Jie enough security to withstand the storm, how could others have interfered?"
Qin Yunxi: "————"
Alright, his wife made sense.
Rong Jingyang hadn't treated Ruo Xin very well in the early stages... even he had felt a sense of crisis.
"Heh heh." He let out a dry laugh and decisively changed the subject.
His wife was terrifyingly rational. Trying to trick or deceive her would likely be an impossible task.
Fortunately, he had never intended to deceive her.
The couple arrived in the room. Grace picked up her charging phone and dialed Du Ruo Xin's number.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The call kept ringing, but no one answered.
When it automatically hung up, she looked at Qin Yunxi. "Xin Jie didn't pick up."
Qin Yunxi thought for a moment. "Send her a message saying Rong Jingyang has been arrested and is in jail."
Grace: "Okay."
Qin Yunxi grabbed his wife and kissed her passionately. "I'm going out for a bit. You stay home and rest well. I'll be back."
If it weren't for his wife's delicate condition, making it unsuitable for her to travel around, he wouldn't want to be separated from her so soon after their wedding.
He had to go and come back quickly!
The esteemed Mr. Qin was clearly playing the role of a henpecked husband.
He went to the FBI.
While it was difficult for others to enter the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, for Qin Yunxi, it was a place he could come and go freely.
In the detention cell, Qin Yunxi saw Mu Li. "Huh? What are you doing here?"
Mu Li gave him a knowing look. "Master Qin, I came to escort you out, but you refused to leave."
He said he wanted to stay a bit longer, perhaps hoping his wife would change her mind.
But staying another minute in the FBI increased his danger by one point. If Director Lei decided to resort to dirty tricks, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
Qin Yunxi patted Mu Li's shoulder. "It's fine, let him stay if he wants."
Mu Li: "..."
Qin Yunxi walked over and sat down next to Rong Jingyang. "I learned something from my wife. Do you want to hear it?"
Rong Jingyang glanced at him—speak your mind.
Sensing the unfriendly gaze, Qin Yunxi said haughtily, "Oh, you're so insincere. I don't want to tell you anymore."
Rong Jingyang said coldly, "Are you here just to mock me a little?" Or were you hoping he would beg you or something?
