"Besides, you called me frivolous so loudly in the grocery store. You knew my feelings for you, but you still embarrassed me in public. Who else can I go to to vent my grievances and anger except you?"

Speaking of this, Xu Xiufang seemed to be really hurt and sighed deeply.

"There were so many people in the grocery store at that time. Have you ever thought about how much harm your words would cause to me?"

There was a gleam of hurt in her eyes, a kind of pain that comes from being misunderstood and betrayed, which makes people feel pity for her.

Xu Xiufang gently wiped away the tears that did not exist in the corners of her eyes, with a bit of silent sorrow and self-comfort.

Her movements were gentle and delicate, as if she was caressing a dream that she didn't want to wake up from.

Ma Chang looked at her actions and felt dizzy.

He felt that Xu Xiufang seemed thinner than usual, and that subtle change made his heart ache.

Although Xu Xiufang's figure is a little plump, she has an indescribable charm.

But today, she changed into a soft Dacron shirt, which fit tightly against her round and white skin and gave off a faint soap scent. Compared with her previous image, it was a world of difference, which made Ma Chang couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Ma Chang's mind drifted away unconsciously, and an image of a gentle country emerged in his mind.

"Well, I will naturally keep your matter in mind and pay more attention to it in the future. Why don't we go into the city now and find a quiet place to rest for a while, what do you think?" He said, his tone full of concern.

Xu Xiufang was pushing an old bicycle and walking side by side with Ma Chang on the river bank, but she didn't realize that all this was seen by Xie Yi who was rushing to the construction site.

Xie Yi's face turned gloomy in an instant.

There was a barely perceptible shyness on Xu Xiufang's face, and she responded softly.

Ma Chang couldn't hide his inner excitement, with an intriguing smile on his face.

Xu Xiufang suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, fearing that she would accidentally reveal the feelings that she had hidden for so long.

She continued her eloquence: "In fact, you don't have to go out of your way to buy clothes. Learning how to manage the household and budget carefully is the most important thing."

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chang's heart felt like a spring breeze blowing through him, and he was almost overwhelmed by this sudden happiness.

"You are so considerate. I will make it up to you later." Ma Chang's voice was full of gratitude and joy.

All of this was seen by Xie Yi who was following closely behind. The anger in his heart grew more and more intense, almost to the point where he could not control himself.

He impulsively wanted to step forward and question several times, but stopped due to various considerations.

What if this was just a misunderstanding? If I were so reckless, I would probably be blamed by Xu Xiufang.

After all, the two were on the verge of divorce, and she was still obsessed with taking her three children away.

Reason eventually overcame impulse, and Xie Yi decided to observe secretly first. If he really found evidence of infidelity, he would use this as an excuse to completely sever the relationship, and the children would have no reason to leave him.

Ma Chang tried hard to suppress the urge in his heart, quickened his pace, and headed towards the city with Xu Xiufang.

Xiaoxi Village is not far from the city center. Just cross the old bridge to reach the bustling farmers' market.

To find a hotel, you need to travel between busy streets and narrow alleys.

Xie Yi followed them, ready to catch any suspicious clues at any time.

Suddenly, Xu Xiufang pointed to an inconspicuous alley and said, "Accommodation here may be much cheaper."

Ma Chang knew it, but his self-esteem and face did not allow him to compromise easily.

"Let's find a place with better conditions."

He looked around the empty alley, fearing that something unexpected might happen here, and he would be the only one to suffer.

Moreover, according to the plan, Zhou Xiaoyun and Xie Fei had agreed to set a "trap" at Sunshine Hotel at 8:30.

"Come with me, the Sunshine Hotel will be more suitable for us. There is a bathtub there to relax."

Ma Chang thought that as long as he stepped into the hotel's door, everything would go smoothly.

Even though he was extremely anxious, he was able to endure it temporarily.

Xu Xiufang keenly captured the subtle changes in Ma Chang's attitude.

Recalling her previous suggestions for saving money, Ma Chang's ecstasy at that time was in sharp contrast to the sudden change now, which made her feel confused and uneasy.

"You are such a responsible man."

She whispered, then raised her delicate little fist and tapped lightly on Ma Chang's solid chest.

On the side, Xie Yi witnessed this scene and was furious, but he forced himself to remain calm. He swore that he must expose Xu Xiufang's true face today.

When Ma Chang saw that Xu Xiufang had no objection, he was secretly delighted, as if success was already in sight.

He couldn't wait to pull Xu Xiufang and hurried towards the Sunshine Hotel, calculating in his mind the upcoming reward of one hundred yuan, which was all thanks to Xie Fei's generosity.

As they gradually approached the city center, the narrow alleys were replaced by bustling street scenes, and Xu Xiufang couldn't help but slow down her pace.

The tempting smell of pancakes wafted in the wind, suddenly sparking her wit.

"Doctor Qin, I haven't eaten anything since this morning, and my stomach is growling with hunger." She blinked, looking innocent.

"That's easy. I'll go buy two buns and we'll eat while walking." Ma Chang thought he had found a solution. He felt that such an arrangement would not delay the trip and would temporarily relieve Xu Xiufang's hunger.

Xu Xiufang pouted, looking dissatisfied. "There's a bun shop next to my house. I see it every day and I'm tired of eating it."

Ma Chang suddenly felt torn, "So what do you want to eat?"

Xu Xiufang smiled slyly, with stars twinkling in her eyes, "I want to eat the brown sugar glutinous rice cake from the shop next to No. 1 Middle School. It's sweet and sticky, and it's a delicacy that I must eat every time I go to the city."

One China?

That's several blocks away from here. Time is tight, so how can we have time to take a detour?

The agreed time of 8:30 was approaching, and the consequences of being late were no joke. Ma Chang was extremely anxious.

"How about we wait until we're done before eating?"

He suggested, and as he spoke he took Xu Xiufang's hand without saying a word and quickened his pace.

Xu Xiufang, who was being held tightly, became more and more certain that there must be some secret behind this sudden invitation.

She told herself that it was not a good time to escape. Only by going deep into the tiger's den could she find the person behind the scenes who was manipulating everything.

Although she had shown some affection to Ma Chang, Ma Chang was usually unruly and had no time to care about these trivial disputes.

Unless there is an irresistible interest behind this action.

Xu Xiufang secretly wondered if all this was secretly planned by Zhou Xiaoyun?
