"Dad, please help me issue an announcement to clarify one thing."

"From the beginning to the end, my heart has only been with my wife. Those rumors are nothing but nonsense. What's worse, the rumors that I had a crush on someone before marriage are completely fabricated."

"I don't want my wife, Xiao Miaomiao, to be misunderstood in the slightest." His tone was filled with deep worry about misunderstandings and deep love for his wife.

"I'm really sorry that you had to witness this. If only I could have foreseen that there would be such groundless rumors.

I would rather stop a taxi for her and send her away safely than let her take advantage of me out of my momentary kindness and cause us trouble." Li Jingcheng's words revealed an indescribable grievance and self-blame. He knew very well that he was really misunderstood this time.

Mr. Li on the other end of the phone was still immersed in confusion. He quickly responded, ready to calm down this unprovoked storm for his son. He thought secretly in his heart and asked someone to go and check what was going on.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to verify the situation right away, and a formal announcement will be issued later." Li's father agreed calmly.

Just after hanging up the call with Li's father, Li Jingcheng's cell phone rang again, and Jiang Lin's name flashed on the screen.

Needless to say, he knew in his heart that this call was undoubtedly related to the news just now.

Li Jingcheng glanced at Xiao Miaomiao who was sitting quietly, then stood up politely, walked aside and answered the phone.

"Jiang Lin, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation of what happened. Otherwise, my brother and I don't mind going to pick them up in person. After all, the Jiang family is more than enough to raise three more children."

There was an unquestionable firmness in Jiang Lin's words. Although he was inclined to believe that this was just a misunderstanding, things had come to this point and he couldn't help but think more deeply about it.

"Huang Yun went abroad before you got into the car accident." Jiang Lin easily found out her whereabouts with his extensive network of contacts.

"Huang Yun and I have never had any connection in the past, and we will have no connection in the future." Li Jingcheng's tone was firm and unquestionable.

"Well, with the sudden dramatic turn of events today, you'd better give the Jiang family a reasonable explanation as soon as possible. In addition, does Miaomiao... already know about this?" Jiang Lin's words showed more concern for Xiao Miaomiao's emotions.

Li Jingcheng sighed softly and nodded, "She already knows."

"What are you going to do next?" When Jiang Lin heard that Miaomiao already knew about this, his brows furrowed slightly, and the worry in his heart became more and more obvious.

"I have already told my father and posted an announcement on the company's official website. I will explain everything in detail later."

"That day, I was just sending Yichen's two brothers to the airport. On the way, I happened to meet Huang Yun who happened to be returning home, so I gave her a ride. There was no other intention."

"She and I are just acquaintances. We can't say we have a deep friendship, and we've only talked a few times." Li Jingcheng didn't care about Jiang Lin's nervousness, knowing that he did this because he was concerned about Xiao Miaomiao.

"You'd better explain it clearly to Miaomiao in person. If there are any misunderstandings, tell them honestly and resolve them in time, so as not to let them become stumbling blocks in your relationship in the future." Jiang Lin was still worried and reminded her earnestly.

"Yes, it's all thanks to Miaomiao that she opened up to me first, so I know about this. I won't let her suffer any injustice."

There was a barely perceptible hint of gratitude in Li Jingcheng's words. His gaze gently turned to Xiao Miaomiao in the room, his eyes full of relief.

Fortunately, she was willing to face herself directly and seek a clear answer, rather than burying her thoughts deep in her heart and letting them become an unsolvable mystery.

Otherwise, he would be really worried, fearing that he had not done enough to make her doubt and no longer fully trust him.

Huang Yun, who was standing by, couldn't help but take out his mobile phone after hearing what Li Jingcheng said. He touched the screen with his fingertips and typed in the familiar name - Li Jingcheng.

The scene changed, and indeed, there appeared the heartwarming scene of him escorting her home in a gentlemanly manner that night, as if even the pixels were telling the story of that unknown warmth.

She had never expected that there would be such a wonderful coincidence in the world. Not only did someone happen to capture the scene, but also uploaded it to everyone.

"Sister-in-law, please don't take it personally. This time I really begged him to give me a ride." Huang Yun scratched his hair unnaturally as he spoke, his eyes showing a bit of trepidation and a hint of pride.

"Sister-in-law, you don't think there's anything between Jing Cheng and me, do you?"

At first, Xiao Miaomiao did have a cloud of misunderstanding in her heart, but after a moment of hesitation and recalling Li Jingcheng's usual character and style, the doubts gradually dissipated. It seemed that such a misunderstanding was indeed a bit illogical to him.

"I was too suspicious. I apologize. Li Jingcheng is definitely not such a frivolous person. He once told me frankly that he had never had a crush on anyone in the past. I still believe him on this point."

Huang Yun was secretly anxious. He really didn't want to see Xiao Miaomiao continue to be immersed in misunderstandings, but he didn't expect that she would play by the rules so unconventionally. For a moment, the smile on his face seemed a little forced and awkward.

"Oh? Did he really say that?" The ding-dong sound of the microwave oven rang out at the right time, interrupting Huang Yun's thoughts. Her eyes involuntarily turned to Xiao Miaomiao, who was still sitting at the dining table leisurely enjoying breakfast, and her feet involuntarily moved towards that side.

"Let me help you get the milk out." Before Huang Yun finished speaking, his hand had already reached into the microwave and steadily took out the warm milk.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Miaomiao didn't think much about it, but stood up instinctively, wanting to do it herself.

"No need, I can do it myself." Xiao Miaomiao opened her red lips and reached out to take the milk from Huang Yun's hand. The two people's movements were subtly intertwined at this moment, like a silent contest.

Just when Xiao Miaomiao was about to touch the cup of warm milk, Huang Yun's gaze suddenly turned to Li Jingcheng who was about to step into the room. Then, an unexpected move happened - she actually splashed the milk in her hand towards her cheek.

"Ah——!" A sharp and abrupt scream broke the silence in the room. Huang Yun's body swayed, and he staggered and fell on the cold ground. His face was mottled with milky white marks, making him look extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, Li Jingcheng just stepped over the threshold, and what came into his sight was Xiao Miaomiao holding an empty milk cup, staring at the yellow clouds on the ground in astonishment.

There was a subtle sense of awkwardness and confusion in the air.

Soon after, Li's grandparents and mother also returned, and their eyes all fell on this scene at the same time.

Xiao Miaomiao seemed to be frozen there, while Huang Yun was sitting on the ground in an extremely embarrassing posture, with undried milk stains on his face.

The elders all frowned slightly at the same time, secretly speculating about this sudden "accident" in their hearts.

Huang Yun slowly raised his face, looked at Xiao Miaomiao with somewhat earnest eyes, gently covered his cheeks with his hands, and there was a hint of grievance in his voice.

"Sister-in-law, everything I said is true. Jing Cheng just sent me home out of kindness. There is nothing wrong between us. Why don't you believe me and even throw the warm milk on me?"

"Jingcheng, and the grandparents and aunt of the Li family, please don't blame my sister-in-law. She did this impulsively because she cared too much about Jingcheng."

"Actually, the milk isn't very hot." Huang Yun said as he took a deep breath, as if he was enduring some discomfort. His hands were still tightly covering his cheeks, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

She thought to herself that she wanted to see how Xiao Miaomiao would respond to this action, and secretly looked forward to the next scene.

When Huang Yun first met Xiao Miaomiao, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged quietly into his heart like an undercurrent.

It was all because of Xiao Miaomiao's beauty, which was like the first light of dawn, which made people's hearts sway and a little fearful.

Fortunately, she was not the spoiled young lady he had imagined, and the surname Xiao did not seem to have anything to do with those prominent families.

Thinking of this, Huang Yun secretly calculated that if Xiao Miaomiao made the slightest move, she would pretend to be wronged. Then, everyone in the Li family would definitely stand on her side. After all, she always had a firm grasp of the wind direction in this mansion.

Just as Huang Yun was thinking about it, Li Jingcheng quietly walked into the chaos.

Xiao Miaomiao was not a stupid person. The initial shock had passed, and her mind was as clear as a mirror at this moment. How could she not know Huang Yun's little thoughts?

She lowered her eyes slightly and her gaze fell on Huang Yun lying on the ground. She felt mixed emotions in her heart, but also had a sense of inquiry.

"Are you okay? Did you accidentally get scalded by the heat?" Li Jingcheng's eyes were full of concern. He turned to Xiao Miaomiao, with a hint of barely perceptible anxiety in his tone.

However, Xiao Miaomiao seemed to be immersed in other thoughts and did not notice this concern that belonged to her alone. She mistakenly thought that Li Jingcheng's greeting was directed to Huang Yun who was standing beside her.

Huang Yun noticed this subtle scene and quickly looked up, his eyes met Li Jingcheng's, and a comforting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, Jingcheng, I'm fine, it was just a small accident, and my sister-in-law didn't mean it, so please don't blame her." Her words were gentle and considerate, trying to dissolve the subtle embarrassment and misunderstanding in the air.

Li Jingcheng ignored Huang Yun who was slumped on the ground, and carefully pulled Xiao Miaomiao's hand over, "I'm asking you a question, is your hand burned?"

Li Jingcheng wiped the milk off her hands.

Huang Yun, who was about to reach out thinking that Li Jingcheng would pull her up, looked at him in disbelief. Shouldn't he be concerned about her?

Li Jingcheng frowned when he saw the faint red mark on Xiao Miaomiao's hand. He shouldn't have left just now.

"What are you still standing there for? Go get the burn ointment." Li Jingcheng shouted at the standing servant.
