Su Chen gently wiped the tears from Lin Wanxue's face. "Xue'er, I really can't agree to this. If Teacher Bai finds out I helped detoxify her, things will be so awkward between us when we meet. Besides, Teacher Bai wouldn't want this either."
At his words, Lin Wanxue began crying even harder. "Waaah, Su Chen, please just agree, okay? I'm begging you!"
Su Chen felt awful. Looking at Lin Wanxue, her face streaked with tears, made his heart ache.
He knew Lin Wanxue truly loved him, yet now she was asking him to detoxify someone else. How cruel was that?
"Come on, Xue'er, don't be sad. If there really isn't any other way, we can ask someone else to help. But no matter what, I absolutely won't be the one to detoxify her. I'm a man, and I'm your husband. How could I let your husband sleep with another woman?" Su Chen said firmly.

Buried in Su Chen's embrace,
