“Honey… I’m sorry.”

Zhu Lingling knew she was wrong, so she apologized immediately.

“Why are you apologizing?”

“I went to Chen Yuning’s home…because…”

“Honey, do you know why Chu and Mian can stay together in all these years?” Gao Ran asked.

“Why?”

“Because they trust each other completely…”

“I trust you, but…”

“Tell me what happened in the last couple of days. You and Huo Mian are hiding something from me.”

Gao Ran had his suspicions, but due to his big workload in the bureau, he hadn’t spared much thought on it.

But Zhu Lingling’s weird behavior, Huo Mian’s words in the bureau, and her attitude toward Chen Yuning had roused his suspicion. He was a smart police officer who was good at deductions, so he put the pieces together and knew something was up among Zhu Lingling, Huo Mian, and Chen Yuning…

Knowing her husband was smart, Zhu Lingling told him everything that had happened.

Gao Ran still looked expressionless when she finished.

“Honey, I indeed trust you. But when I saw the photos… and other things, I thought…” Zhu Lingling paused.

“You thought I cheated on you?”

Zhu Lingling nodded.

“I’m sorry, Honey. It’s all my fault. Mian and Qin Chu both know you’re in the dark. I misunderstood you.”

Zhu Lingling was guilty especially after Gao Ran defended her in front of Chen Yuning. She was finally convinced that she had wronged her husband.

“It’s not your fault. Little Chen is indeed a deep girl… I don’t believe it’s coincidence that she has so many clothes resembling mine…”

“Honey, you believe me?” Zhu Lingling was elated.

“Of course. You’re my wife. Do you think I’d believe an outsider?”

Pleased, Zhu Lingling leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

“Stop it. I’m driving… If we get in an accident, the traffic police officer would write on the report that the cause of the accident was the driver kissing while driving… As the chief bureau, I’d be humiliated…”

“Hahaha. Don’t worry. I’d say I forced you…” Zhu Lingling was in a great mood.

“Back off. Stop the nonsense…”

After they talked about the issue candidly, Zhu Lingling felt relieved.

Gao Ran had made it clear that he had no interest in Chen Yuning, just as Huo Mian had guessed.

“Honey, you won’t betray me, right? Even if you met a girl prettier and cuter than Chen Yuning, you’d not like her, right?”

“It’s hard to say. If you went mad again and changed my car, clothes, bought my shoes on Taobao, and deducted my pocket money, I might betray you…”

“Haha. I won’t do those things again. I’ve decided to increase your pocket money by 500 yuan from next month onwards.”

“500 is not enough. You must add at least 800…” Gao Ran mumbled as he drove.

“Haha. You are low maintenance…”

Zhu Lingling felt happy, knowing she had been imagining things.

“Honey, if that woman continues to shower you with her attention, what will you do? Will you submit to her antics…?” After she calmed down, she still thought Little Chen was a potential threat.
