When her husband crossed the street, she asked, “Weren’t you in the car?”
“Little Han can handle it,” said Shi Jiajie. “We have to train him, it’s easy for him to become a famous private detective in future.”
“He’s too arrogant, maybe after he is settled.”
“How about the investigation?”
“So-so.”
“Wife, there’s something I don’t know whether to speak to you about.”
“what’s that?”
“Do you have any secret you are hiding from me?”
Li Jiaxue frowned at his words, “No.”
“Really?”
“Don’t interrogate me,” Li Jiaxue was displeased. “We’ve investigated a number of cases in which one cheated the other or even both cheated. We must be sure about the importance of sharing the secrets. I have no secrets towards you. But if you misunderstand me, don’t make a riddle out of it, instead tell me.”
“You’ve been in touch with Lin Yunan.”
“How do you know?”
“I checked your call records.”
Hearing this, Li Jiaxue shouted as her eyes widened, “Are you crazy?”
“Good reaction, I really want to know why you’re in touch with that guy,” he said, “I’ve checked your conversation. When Li Ze left at the Dicos, you received a call from him. I don’t know the relationship between you two, but it must be a complicated one, otherwise you wouldn’t have had to contact him secretly.”
“Are you suspicious of me having an affair with him?”
“That’s not what I mean. I just want to know why you interact with him secretly.”
“You are suspecting me,”
“That’s impossible.”
“If you don’t think it’s possible, why did you checked my call records?” With her hands crossed on her chest, Li Jiaxue said angrily, “From the moment you checked it, you have already stopped trusting me.”
“The key point is the reason you interacted with him secretly!”
“Even if I had to get in touch with other people, then its strictly a business relationship.”
Shi Jiaxue was so angry by her quick retort.
Although he was usually gentle to her, Shi Jiajie was really furious because his wife kept in touch with Lin Yunan without his knowledge. He wanted to argue with her, but he didn’t know how to approach the matter, because she is an incorrigible person.
He sighed, “I just want to hear the relationship between you two.”
“I helped him with some things, so he’s my employer.”
“If so, why can’t I be informed? I’m the boss and I have the right to know everything about our missions.”
“I’m afraid you’ll spread it out after you get drunk.”
“I promise I won’t. Please tell me the investigation he requested.”
“I have to keep it a secret,” said Li. “This is part of my contract with him.”
“You’re an investigator, while I’m the boss, so I have the right to know everything about our business. Anyway, I’m your husband, shouldn’t I know what you’re doing for him? Or are you helping him on something else instead of investigation? Don’t think I didn’t know you’d called someone in Beijing.”
“So you suspect I’ve been with him since I went to Beijing?”
“I just want to know who you called!”
“That was only a number I saw on an ad,” Li Jiaxue said, “I wanted to have a relaxation in Beijing. There was luckily a travel agent ad in the airport with a phone number attached to it. I planned to travel around the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. However, there was no answer when I dialled the number. I immediately got back to Xiamen on the plane you booked, afraid that you were worried. In fact, I take the trust between couples seriously, but I really do not expect you to suspect me. If I knew you’d be like that, I’d really have been in Beijing for three days.”
“Can we have a talk?”
“You didn’t trust me first,” Li Jiaxue said, “Since the firm’s inception, how much have I sacrificed for this firm? If I hadn’t been there, the firm would have gone bankrupt. I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong to you, so please don’t suspect me. As for the relationship between Lin and me, I don’t want to mention it. He was the prince of the JiaMei Underwear, and the investigation is confidential, so I don’t want to get into trouble by revealing it. Hubby, if you really believe me, then please don’t ask me about the details regarding the investigation. However, if you don’t believe me, you can send someone to follow me, or you can continue checking my call records. I haven’t done anything wrong whatsoever.”
Shi Jiajie was furious that he couldn’t reason with her.
Since he couldn’t ascertain his wife had an affair with Lin Yunan, he said, “Okay, it’s my fault. I’m sorry.”
“Have you had dinner?”
“I just ate burger.”
“If you aren’t full, I’ll accompany you to dinner.”
“There’s food at home, we could have dinner at home,” Shi Jiajie hugged his wife around the waist. “Let’s go for shopping!”
“As an apology?”
“Yes, I’m a fool, how can I suspect you?”
“I don’t have need for clothes, moreover am not interested in shopping anyway,” Li Jiaxue said after a pause, “Why don’t you accompany me to the pet store? I have an urge for a kitty.”
“It’s lazy,”
“Do you want it to work for you?”
“Well…”
Looking at her husband’s somewhat silly appearance, Li Jiaxue tittered.
As Li Jiaxue and Jiajie approached the pet store, Li Ze was teaching Liu Yuou how to paint.
As for Weiwei, she was sitting on the floor with her wooden blocks.
Liu Yuou will participate in the head sketch group. Of course Li Ze was teaching her relevant information.
“The frame picture was the key point in head sketch. The first step of painting is to strengthen the foundation of the frame. First, you have to find the right position on the picture to figure out the head, chin and shoulders with simple straight lines, and then, pick out the eyebrows, and the eyes. At last, the nose and mouth. Remember to observe and compare.”
Liu Yuou said after he spoke, “Teacher, theory is not as important as practice. How about we get started?”
