Chapter 128

What if it was a trap, a test from Li Xinxin for him?

He had just exposed himself like that.

Wouldn't that make him a complete fool?

So, he put on a very aggrieved and distressed tone and said, "Daojun, Xinxin, stop talking in riddles. Where exactly did I go wrong? Just say it directly. I am truly sincere about wanting to marry you, Xinxin. Please, can you trust me?"

"You are the only woman I have ever felt this way about in my life. If I cannot have you, I would rather remain unmarried for the rest of my life!"

Acting!

You are still putting on an act for me!

Chen Daojun almost laughed out loud.

Then he coughed twice.

In a casual tone, he said, "Well... Uncle Cui, you aren't being honest. You say you haven't done anything wrong, so what is going on with that secretary at your company?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Cui Dongxu's expression changed abruptly.

From his original look of grievance and helplessness.

It instantly turned gloomy.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his tone was filled with suspicion and sharpness.

"Daojun, who did you hear this from?"

"It is completely a rumor!"

"I can swear that this is purely fabricated! It is a baseless matter!"

"I understand now. So, Xinxin, you must have heard this rumor from somewhere, which is why you misunderstood me. So that's how it is..."

Cui Dongxu put on an expression of sudden realization.

His psychological resilience was very strong; he was like an old fox.

He quickly hid the shock, doubt, and trace of panic in his heart.

He showed an apologetic face to Li Xinxin: "Xinxin, I'm sorry! Sigh, it's all my fault. It's my mistake for not handling the relationship with my subordinates well. I suppose someone in my company saw me being a bit too close to the secretary, and that's how the rumor started..."

"Please believe me, I am absolutely not that kind of person!"

"I know you surely won't believe my side of the story right now. You are still doubting me and don't trust me, so I think we should just forget about the marriage proposal for today."

"I will return to the company immediately and fire the secretary and the whistleblower who spread the rumor! Furthermore, in a few days, I will invite you to visit my company, and you can ask any of my employees whatever you like!"

"As long as they say that I really have a woman on the side or an improper relationship with my secretary, then you can scold me however you want, and I will never bring up the marriage alliance again."

"Is that alright, Xinxin?"

"I beg you, give me one more chance!"

Cui Dongxu was indeed a shrewd person.

His sincere apology slightly eased the intense disgust Li Xinxin had felt toward him after learning about his affair with the female secretary.

It lessened just a little.

But she still held this disgusting old man in contempt.

She only said coldly, "Leave. I don't want to see you!"
