Old Dong’s face was terrible, and he looked quite flustered. He was stunned for a moment before pleading with Qi Xi in a somewhat hoarse voice, “Xiao Qi, my wife doesn’t know yet. I was just temporarily blinded by lust. You absolutely have to help me keep this a secret.”
When faced with this reality, even though she wasn’t a party to this marriage, as a woman, and as a junior who had received much care from Old Dong, Qi Xi felt a sense of helplessness and defeat, as well as being deeply shocked. She didn’t understand why Old Dong would do such a thing, “Don’t you love your wife very much? Why would you do something that betrays her like this?”
After being exposed by Qi Xi, Old Dong stopped trying to hide it. He frantically grabbed at his hair, then slumped onto the office sofa, the calm façade he had been maintaining finally cracking.
