《The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 It turned out that fate had been so cruel to me just so that I could meet you, who doted on me and loved me so much, one day. -Qiao Mu ~Preface~ Ten years ago, an eight-year-old little girl was walking behind an eighteen-year-old teenage boy. She vowed loudly, I dont know what love is, but I love you! Ill definitely marry you when I grow up! Many yearster, they met each other again. But the once obedient young woman smiled cunningly like a little fox and said, Uncle, you want me to marry you? Are you trying to get a sugar baby? .. At night, the stars were bright. A luxurious cruise ship glided on the water. Brightly lit, it was a splendid sight. The decor inside the cabin was resplendent, and therge space was divided into a few sections. One of the sections consisted of many private lounges, and the design of the ce was unique. It looked like a maze. Qiao Mu staggered back and forth on the long corridor. This was her second time walking around this part of the cruise ship. She looked at the wooden doors on both sides of the corridor. There was no way that she could tell which private lounge she hade from, as all the doors looked simr. It was her eighteenth birthday, and she was having a celebration with a few friends. They had made her drink quite a lot. It made no sense. She merely went to the bathroom. How did she even get lost? Qiao Mu was feeling dizzier and dizzier. She could not just keep going around in circles like this. She decided to head back to the bathroom and wait for her friends outside the door. They were bound to realize that she was missing ande looking for her. However, the moment she turned, she bumped into someones chest This made Qiao Mu even dizzier. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed the other partys shirt to prevent herself from falling down. Let go! A loud and clear voice rang out. She could smell mint. She raised her head and was met with a pair of hawk-like eyes. Those eyes were as ck as charcoal, and there was a hint of coldness in them. His gaze was extremely profound, like the boundless night sky. Qiao Mu subconsciously shifted her gaze away from that persons eyes, and only then did she notice how breathtakingly handsome he was. His facial features were so prominent that his face looked like a sculpture. His eyebrows were thick, and his nose bridge was tall and straight. His lips were thin and seductive. His face was so exquisite that it was basically perfect. And he was emanating such a cold and arrogant aura that he looked like a born noble. He was unbelievably handsome! However, that face kept swaying in her field of vision. Qiao Mu furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and wrapped her arms around the mans neck. She put all her weight on his chest and muttered, Stop shaking. Im feeling dizzy. The mans gaze fell upon Qiao Mus face. There was a flush on her cheeks, and she looked extremely innocent. The man narrowed his dark orbs a little, and there was a barely noticeable glint in his eyes. He shed a smile, and this gave his cold face a devilishly charming vibe. His lips were thin and sexy, and his voice was husky and maic. He asked yfully, Are you trying to seduce me? Qiao Mu was shocked. Before she could react to what was going on, his voice rang out beside her ears again. I am not interested in underage girls. Underage? Qiao Mu puffed her cheeks in annoyance and said, Its my eighteenth birthday today! So? His gaze was full of disdain, and because of this, Qiao Mu wanted to put up a fight. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, hooking her long and slim leg around his waist with a seductive expression. Which means that I am not underage, and that I have the right to seduce you! The man narrowed his dark orbs. There was something wild about his appearance, and he looked devilishly charming. Qiao Mu raised her chin and shed a mischievous smile. She was feeling pleased with herself when the man grabbed her thigh. This shocked her, and she froze. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 He rubbed her thigh with hisrge hand, going higher and higher until his hand was right beneath her thin underwear. She felt like a fire was burning within her, and his touch felt like electricity. She immediately blushed. He rested his hand on her a*s, and she was so shocked that she forgot to struggle. Her face was red, and her heart was beating rapidly. She did not show any reaction. This was when he grabbed her a*s with force and shoved her away! Qiao Mu did not expect this at all. She thought that she had encountered a p*vert who would take advantage of the situation. She did not expect him to push her away just like this. She lost her stability and staggered a few steps backward. The man arched an eyebrow and said yfully, Im not interested in girls with an underage body either. There was a breeze, and by the time Qiao Mu regained her senses, the man had already disappeared. Qiao Mu realized what had happened and widened her eyes. Embarrassed and furious, she turned and shouted, Youre saying that my body is underage? Are you short-sighted? But there was no one behind him. The man was nowhere to be seen. This was when someone called out anxiously, Qiao Mu, why did you take half an hour to go to the toilet? I thought that you had fallen into a hole. Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes to look at the person before her. She staggered forward. Xia Xia, do you think that my body has matured? What? Chi Xia did not understand what she meant, and she caught Qiao Mus staggering body. Why the heck did you walk around even though you are drunk? Qiao Mu rested a hand on Chi Xias shoulder, and she was in a daze as she lowered her head and rubbed her head against Chi Xias chest. Chi Xias chest was soft, unlike the muscr chest she had bumped into just now. Ugh this feels different. Chi Xia pushed Qiao Mus head away in disdain. Qiao Mu, why are you acting like a pervert with me? Dont tell me that you suddenly realized that youre lesbian after being alive for eighteen years! What the heck! I have boobs too! Stop being so full of yourself! Chi Xia was rendered speechless. .. After Qiao Mu returned to the private lounge, she felt annoyed due to the fact that someone had insulted her body, which she took a lot of pride in. Hence, she drank even more and became utterly drunk. Chi Xia got pretty drunk too. They supported each other as they staggered back to their room and copsed onto their respective beds. After a while, Qiao Mu got up and rushed into the bathroom. After she exited the bathroom, she staggered out of their room and they turned the corner. Someone was opening his room door. She walked over without being aware of it and entered the room. The moment Li Yan opened his room door, a figure rushed over and charged to his room right in front of him. His gaze darkened. He was about to stop the person from entering his room, but the moment he reached out, he recognized Qiao Mu. Its this girl again! Li Yan arched an eyebrow, and a hint of yfulness shed past his eyes. You wont stop until you manage to seduce me, huh? Qiao Mu blinked dumbfoundedly. She did not know where she was at all. She saw a pair of thin lips moving before her, and it looked extremely sexy. She hooked her arm around his neck, tiptoed and kissed him. The man narrowed his dark and profound eyes. His gaze was indecipherable Li Yan grabbed her chin and said in a husky and sexy voice, So, now that we are meeting for a second time, youvee up with a new way to seduce me? Qiao Mu did not reply. She smiled with her eyes narrowed. She then tilted her head, rested her head on his chest and fell asleep. Her bodycked support, and she slowly slid downwards. She was almost falling to the floor. Li Yan extended his arms and grabbed her petite body. He then threw her onto the bed. The young woman on the bed let out a contented sigh and roll over. She was in deep sleep. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 At dawn, illuminated by the morning sun, the cruise ship was enveloped by a golden halo. Qiao Mu sighed in contentment and stretched. But the moment she moved, she realized that there was something beside her She turned subconsciously and saw a persons body. She immediately froze. Copper skin, sexy abs and muscr legs A nket covered his crotch. Qiao Mu blinked. She only regained her senses after a long time, and she immediately turned pale. A man was lying beside her! She immediately became extremely confused. She lowered her head and realized that she was no longer wearing her cardigan, and that she was only wearing her tube dress. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was not naked Qiao Mus mind was in the mess. She could not remember what had happened the day before at all. She got out of bed in a flurry, picked up her cardigan from the floor and dashed out of the room. Qiao Mu did not look at the face of the man beside her from the beginning to the end. She did not realize that the man had woken up before she did either. He could see the way she panicked and how flustered she was. Li Yan watched as the petite figure fled the scene. He rose and rested his back against the headboard. There was a slight, yful smile on his face. He looked sexy and mysterious. .. Qiao Mu returned home from the cruise ship and locked herself in her room. She kept trying to recall what had happened the day before, but her mind was nk. After she fled the scene and went back to the room she shared with Chi Xia in the morning, Chi Xia was still asleep. She woke Chi Xia up and asked thetter about what had happened the day before, but Chi Xia only remembered that they had gone back to their room and slept after they got drunk. But why did she wake up in someone elses room? Qiao Mu tapped her head with force. She had just turned eighteen. Why was fate so eager to introduce her to the world of adulthood!? Fortunately, she did not lose her virgin*ty! Qiao Mu swore that she would never get drunk for no reason again. Someone knocked on the door, and a shrill voice rang out. Qiao Mu, why the heck are you hiding in the room the moment you came back? Everyone at home is super busy. Do you know what day tomorrow is? Youre the only one at home whos doing nothing! Qiao Mu got out of bed, opened the door and saw that Qiao Ya was standing furiously outside the room. She muttered, Big sister, you dont have to remind me about this. I have not forgotten that its Aunt Yuns birthday tomorrow. Hmph, whats the point of remembering if youre going to do nothing about it? Youre not involved in the preparations for her birthday dinner at all. Its so obvious that youre not her birth daughter! Qiao Ya snorted coldly and stared angrily at Qiao Mus bare, oval face. Qiao Ya was five years older than Qiao Mu, and she wore thick makeup every day. She did not look her age at all. Qiao Mu shed an innocent smile and nodded in agreement. Big sister, you make sense. Since Im not her birth child, of course Im not as caring and attentive as you. Aunt Yun must be very touched to know that she has a daughter like you whos earnestly preparing for her birthday party, so I dont want to mess things up. You Big sister, I had a little too much fun during my birthday party yesterday, and I didnt get to rest well. Im going to take a short rest now. Do you ahead and do what you have to, Qiao Mu said and shut the door. She did not care about how dark Qiao Yas expression was. Like what Qiao Ya had said, they did not share the same mother. Qiao Yas mother, Yu Tingyun, was their fathers official wife, which makes Qiao Ya their fathers legitimate daughter. And Qiao Mu was nothing but the daughter of the woman her father, Qiao Jiannan, identally impregnated when he was drunk. Qiao Mu had stayed with the Qiao family ever since she was five, and she was nothing but an illegitimate child who did not get to see the light of day at home. Fortunately, she had always been a clever girl and was able to navigate the hardships in life with ease. Qiao Mu sighed when she thought about Yu Tingyuns forty-fifth birthday party tomorrow. She hated this kind of asion as Qiao Ya was definitely waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 It was a beautiful night. The Qiao familys mansion was brightly lit, and people were walking in and out of the mansion holding gifts. A lot of rich and powerful people were invited to Yu Tingyuns birthday party, and it was a grandiose affair. Qiao Mu was standing at the balcony of her room. She was bored as she watched the people walking in and out of the mansion. Every time there was a celebration like this, she merely showed her face for a short while when she was supposed to. She knew where she stood, and she never saw herself as ady of the Qiao family. She always tried her best to give the spotlight to Qiao Ya. This was when a maid knocked on the door. Second young mistress, all the guests are here, and the master asked you to head downstairs. Qiao Mu hummed in acknowledgement and smoothed out the creases of her clothes. Only her father would remember her at a time like this. Qiao Mu went to the main hall, where the birthday dinner was held. She saw Qiao Jiannan and Yu Tingyun the moment she entered the main hall. They were holding hands and surrounded by a group of guests. They looked like they enjoyed a harmonious and loving rtionship. Mu Mu is here. Qiao Jiannan looked at Qiao Mu and said in an usatory tone, You never liked crowds since you were young, and you always hide in your room every time theres a celebration. Its Aunt Yuns birthday today. You shouldnt do this. Dad, Im here now, arent I? Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyun with a smile on her face. Aunt Yun, happy birthday. Yu Tingyun was an elegant woman. She smiled. Jiannan, since Mu Mu doesnt like this kind of celebration, you dont have to force her toe. Yu Tingyuns gaze fell upon Qiao Mus face. Qiao Mu had an innocent smile, and she radiated a pure aura. She was wearing a white, knee-length dress. Even though it was not a grand dinner dress, she looked child-like and innocent. Everyone who saw her would think that she was a pure and simple young woman. Afterall, she was only eighteen years old. But the more innocent Qiao Mu looked, the more Yu Tingyun disliked the sight of her. Qiao Mus attire was simple and tasteful, and together with her natural beauty, she attracted plenty of attraction. Standing beside Yu Tingyun, Qiao Ya was wearing a long, elegant dress. She saw that Qiao Mu was not holding anything and said with a smile, Mu Mu, didnt you prepare a birthday present? Big sister, you must be curious about what gift I have prepared. But its not the time for that yet. Ill bring the gift out in a while. Qiao Mu blinked mischievously. Qiao Jiannan chuckled. Go ahead and greet the guests. They looked like a harmonious family. Qiao Mu knew that Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya did not like her. Why would they like her? Her existence was proof that her father had cheated on his wife. Of course her stepmother and stepsister would dislike the sight of her. But Yu Tingyun was a forgiving woman. As the wife of a rich and powerful man, she had to pretend to be a caring mother to her step-daughter even though she disliked Qiao Mu. Hence, Qiao Jiannan thought that Qiao Mu enjoyed a good rtionship with her stepmother. Yu Tingyun was a very good actress, and she was able to uphold her image of a caring woman. Qiao Mu did not mind, and she had always yed along. Qiao Mu looked around, and she sneaked out of the main hall when she saw that no one was looking at her. There was a cab outside the mansion. The moment Qiao Mu walked out of the door, someone got out of the car. Xia Xia, I love you so much! Qiao Mu dashed over and tried to give Chi Xia a hug, but Chi Xia shoved her away. Cut it out. Why are you so troublesome? I cant believe that you forgot your stepmothers birthday gift in the dorm. The cleaner almost threw it away because she thought that it was trash! Hey, lower your voice. Its not thrash. Other people would think that Im being insincere if they were to hear this. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 There was a mocking look on Chi Xias face. I dont see any sincerity in this gift. You bought it for 10 RMB and simply wrapped it up. Pretending that something you bought from a novice knitter is a homemade gift. How shameless can you get? Qiao Mu twisted her lips and said defensively, No matter what gift I get her, she wouldnt like it anyway. She will just end up throwing it into the trash can. So, whats wrong with giving her a piece of trash? That way, the gift wouldnt go to waste. God, youre seriously cunning! Chi Xia said in exasperation. Qiao Mu was such a cunning fox, and her personality did not match her pure and innocent appearance at all. Chi Xia was Qiao Mus best friend, and they were extremely close. This was why Chi Xia knew Qiao Mu really well. Qiao Mu watched as Chi Xia left in the cab. She looked at the gift she was holding with a satisfied expression. Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind her. You look pretty happy for someone whos holding a piece of trash. Qiao Mu widened her eyes abruptly and quickly turned to look at the person who was speaking. She saw a towering figure standing beneath the shade. You Why are you being so sneaky? Trash? Shit! That person heard my conversation with Chi Xia just now! .. Li Yan had already entered the courtyard of the mansion when Qiao Mu exited the mansion. When he saw how sneaky she was acting, he decided to stand in the courtyard and take a look at what she was doing after he got out of the car. This little thing had seriously exceeded his expectations. He thought that he was only an innocent and naive young woman, and he did not expect her personality to be like this. Li Yan strode toward her, and his gaze fell upon the box she was holding. He arched an eyebrow. Im quite curious about what the piece of trash in this box actually is. Qiao Mu was so flustered that she did not know what to say. Damn it. She had always been a careful person, and her stepmother and stepsister had never been able to find any fault with her. How did she end up letting someone eavesdrop on her conversation with Chi Xia? And she did not even know who this man was! The towering figure walked closer to her. His face was illuminated by the yellow lights of the mansion, and she could kind of discern his appearance. He had ced both his hands in his pockets, and there was a slight smile on his face. He emanated an arrogant and noble-like aura. Qiao Mu furrowed her eyebrows a little. The man before her looked tremendously familiar. But she would never have forgotten a face like that if she had seen him before. At this moment, she did not have time to ponder about this sense of familiarity. She took a step forward, pointed at his nose and said fiercely, No matter who you are, you better not create trouble. Whatever you saw and heard was not true, and Im warning you to keep your mouth shut! Im the second young mistress of the Qiao household. You can try to tell other people about this and see if they would believe in what you say or what I say! Li Yan smiled when he heard Qiao Mus warning, but his gaze was cold. Second Young Mistress Qiao, you seriously have a bad memory! I have a bad memory? What is he implying? Qiao Mu decided to ignore him, and she left with the gift in her hands. She said before she walked away, Dont forget what Ive said. Keep your mouth shut if you dont want to get into trouble, or dont me me for making life difficult for you! Li Yan watched as the petite figure disappeared into the night. He narrowed his dark orbs, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes. I cant believe that this little thing really doesnt recognize me! She doesnt realize who I am even after meeting me twice! But shes very gutsy indeed. She actually threatened and warned me so fiercely! Well, Im interested to see how shes going to make life difficult for me! His thin lips curled up into a smile, and in the night, he emanated a wild and devilish aura. .. Qiao Mu sneaked back into the main hall from a balcony in the corner, and she could not get the face of the man she met just now out of her mind. He could be said to be the best looking man she had ever seen. He was practically a charming devil. Suddenly, a scene that she vaguely remembered shed before her eyes. She was about to put some thought into it when a voice jolted her out of her reverie. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Qiao Mu, why are you wasting time? Its time to give my mother her gift! Qiao Ya sounded rather pleased with herself to see Qiao Mu in such a flustered state. As a young mistress of a rich and powerful family, Qiao Ya had always put on a nice and polite front in front of other people. She only spoke fiercely and impatiently to Qiao Mu in private. Qiao Mu was used to Qiao Yas attitude. She hummed in acknowledgement and walked over with her precious gift. Qiao Ya looked at Qiao Mus gift box in disdain. She took the lead and gave her gift to Yu Tingyun. She had chosen to give her mother a unique bracelet. Yu Tingyun opened the jewelry box. Illuminated by the chandelier, the diamonds sparkled. It was an elegant and expensive-looking bracelet. Everyone was impressed by how exquisite the gift looked, and they were full of praises. Pleased with herself, Qiao Ya smiled. Mum, this bracelet has just beenunched, and Im the first one who purchased it. Let me put it on for you. All the guests walked over to take a look at the bracelet. Lady Qiao, this is such a beautiful bracelet. You have such a caring daughter. Yu Tingyun responded politely to the guests praises, but it was difficult for her to hide the happiness inside her. She was smiling ear to ear. Of course her daughter was the best. Qiao Mu twisted her lips. She then smiled and gave her stepmother her gift. She lowered her head a little shyly. Aunt Yun, this is my birthday gift for you. I knitted you a scarf. Its my first time knitting something, so the scarf doesnt look that good. I hope that you wont mind. Yu Tingyun took the gift and opened the box. There was a red scarf inside the box, and it was not really well-made. The design was simple too, and it looked like one of those cheap scarves sold at roadside stalls. Someone said, Lady Qiao, youre really a lucky woman. Second Young Mistress Qiao really put a lot of effort into the gift. Such a filial daughter is hard toe by. There was a smile on Yu Tingyuns face, and Qiao Mu was the only one who could tell the difference between her stepmothers smile when she received Qiao Yas gift and her smile when she received Qiao Mus gift. Qiao Yas expression changed. Maybe a filial daughter who gives her stepmother a handmade scarf is hard toe by, but is my expensive gift not worth mentioning!? Qiao Ya did not understand why someone would praise that ugly scarf! This had been happening ever since they were young. Throughout the years, Qiao Mu had been giving Yu Tingyun cheap gifts on her birthday such as drawings she drew herself and y animals she made. Even though they were cheap and ugly, other people would praise her for it. Qiao Mus head was lower, and she looked like an obedient young woman. This knitted scarf was made by her roommate, Yao Shu, for the guy she liked. As it was Yao Shus first time knitting something, she decided to knit a scarf for practice first. It looked a little unpolished, but it was not ugly. Yao Shu wanted to throw it away, but Qiao Mu asked Yao Shu to give it to her. Qiao Mu was pleased with herself for being so clever when a cold voice suddenly rang out. This scarf looks pretty good indeed. Qiao Mu rose and saw that a figure d in ck was walking over to them. There was a wild and yful smile on his face. Qiao Mu froze. This charming devil was here for the birthday dinner! Li Yans lips were curled up into a smile. If he did not hear the conversation just now with his own ears, he would not have imagined that the young woman before her was merely pretending to be obedient. Qiao Mu met eyes with Li Yan and immediately gave the other party a warning re. Li Yans smile became even wider, and he looked like he was interested to see how things would unfold. Yu Tingyun and Qiao Jiannan froze when they saw him. They did not expect Li Yan to show up. The Li family had migrated overseas ten years ago, and at that time, Li Yan was only eighteen years old. But ten yearster, the young man had be a legendary and powerful man. Everyone knew about him. The Li Corporation not only possessed assets and enterprises in the country, but also overseas. Globally, they were quite a force to be reckoned with. They could be said to be so powerful that they could control all the other enterprises in Beijing. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Li Yan walked forward. Cousin, I came in a rush, so I did not manage to prepare any gifts. Unlike Second Young Mistress Qiao, I dont have an invaluable gift for you, and I apologize for that. He emphasized the word invaluable, and to Qiao Mu, the word was like a ticking time bomb. Cousin? So, hes Yu Tingyuns brother Qiao Mu was utterly shocked. From what he could remember, Yu Tingyun did have a younger cousin. Yu Tingyun felt extremely honoured that such a rich and powerful man was attending her birthday dinner. Naturally, she was tremendously happy about it. She smiled and said very politely, Ah Yan, you dont have to be so courteous with me. The fact that youre here makes me very happy already. I wasnt even aware that youre back in the country. Li Yan How long has it been since Ive heard this name? It has been ten years! It felt so surreal to be hearing this name again after ten years. Qiao Mu had not thought about him for quite some time, to the point that she could not recognize him the first time she saw him earlier. This young man was Yu Tingyuns cousin, which meant that he was Qiao Yas uncle. Qiao Mu gazed at the mans devilishly charming face and recalled what he looked like ten years ago. From what she could remember, he used to be extremely handsome too. The years away had given him a mature and polished aura, and he looked even more captivating than before. Qiao Mu suddenly realized that she was in a dangerous situation. She had offended Tu Tingyuns cousin. He was Yu Tingyuns family member! Qiao Ya said enthusiastically, Uncle, its really you! Weve not seen each other for years. Im Young Ya. You do remember me, dont you? Li Yan looked tly at Qiao Ya and hummed in acknowledgement. There were no emotions in his voice. Qiao Ya immediately felt embarrassed. To make the situation less awkward, she decided to drag Qiao Mu into the conversation. Mu Mu, this is your uncle. Why arent youing over to greet him? So impolite! I remember that you used to follow him around all the time when you were young. Dont tell me that youve forgotten about him. Qiao Mu took a step forward. Her head was lowered, and she looked obedient. Hello, uncle. Hello? Li Yan lowered his head, and his gaze fell upon Qiao Mus face. She looked like an obedient big baby who was politely greeting someone older than her. Beneath her calm appearance, he could actually tell that she was shocked and anxious. Li Yan arched an eyebrow. Wasnt she very fierce just now? This little thing was drunk the first time they have met after ten years, and she tried to seduce him. When they met for the second time, she pointed at his nose and threatened him. And now, she was putting on an obedient front, and she even called him uncle. He did not like her to address him like this. Li Yan had recognized Qiao Mu when he met her on the cruise ship. It had been ten years, but her face almost did not change at all. She was just a grown up version of the child she used to be. The only difference was that she was no longer as childlike and naive as she was before. She had be moredylike. She was eighteen, and even though she was not that mature yet, she had grown a lotpared to when she was eight. She had be more beautiful, and her body was starting to look like that of a womans. Li Yan shed a slight smile and said slowly, Second Young Mistress Qiao had already greeted me when we were outside just now. Qiao Ya became jealous when he heard this. She was rted to him by blood, but he ignored him and decided to entertain an outsider! Qiao Jiannan said with a smile, Young Master Li, my younger daughter never liked meeting people, and shes shy. I hope you dont mind. The fact that an older person was calling him Young Master Li showed that Li Yan was indeed a force to be reckoned with. Li Yan smiled yfully. Shy? He did not think that this young woman was a shy person. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Qiao Mus head was lowered, and she said nothing. She could sense that Li Yan was looking at her, and this made her uncontrobly anxious. Qiao Mu truly felt that it was an unlucky day for her. Yu Tingyuns cousin brother was aware of her lie, and she had even threatened her. She wondered if he would be petty and call her out on her lie. Qiao Mu was nervous as she stood rooted to the spot, and she was thinking about what she should say if Li Yan ended up calling her out on her lie. But surprisingly, Li Yan said nothing else about the gift. Soon, Li Yan had be the center of attention and was surrounded by many people. Qiao Mu took the opportunity to flee. .. The night sky was full of stars. Qiao Mu stood on a balcony upstairs. Even though the night breeze was blowing on her face, she was feeling very anxious. For so many years, she had always been very careful when dealing with the members of the Qiao family. Her stepmother and stepsister did not like her, and she disliked them too. However, she always tried her best not to overstep her role so that she would not bring trouble to her father. She knew that Yu Tingyun and her daughter had been trying to find fault with her so that they had a legitimate reason to destroy her rtionship with her father. She had always handled things very well, and she never expected to slip up like this. Qiao Mu balled up her fist. She must not let this happen! Suddenly, someone opened the door. Qiao Mu immediately turned, and she saw Li Yan standing behind her. The moment Qiao Mu saw Li Yan, she charged fiercely towards him and pressed him against the wall. She raised her leg and stepped on the chair beside him, and she looked like a gangster. Im warning you. You better not spout nonsense and try to destroy my rtionship with my stepmother. Even though youre my stepmothers cousin, they wont believe what you say. You better know your ce and stay away from my family affairs! Qiao Mu thought that she was emanating a fierce aura that was enough to scare the man before her, but to Li Yan, she was nothing but an angry, powerless cat. Li Yan lowered his gaze to look at her, and he finally could not hold himself back anymore andughed out loud. Little thing, youre definitely full of surprises. This little thing had really exceeded his expectations. Qiao Mu was dumbfounded when she saw himughing. Was he panicking because he was frightened? But judging from how arrogant hisughter was, he did not seem scared at all. Li Yan narrowed his dark orbs and stoppedughing. In the very next moment, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her over. This time, he pressed her against the wall instead. What What are you doing? She looked vignt. Little thing, youre mistaken. I have something on you, and I should be the one whos threatening you. You have no right to act so arrogantly in front of me! Qiao Mus expression changed. She thought that she would be able to scare Li Yan into submission by being fierce, but this man did not buy it at all. He was as clever as a fox! Qiao Mu took the opportunity to raise her leg and kick his crotch. There was only a small distance between them, and the attack would have been sessful if it was not for the fact that the other party reacted quickly. He grabbed her leg and secured it beside him. Qiao Mu froze. She was wearing a dress, and she did not even wear stockings. Hisrge hand was wrapped around her thighs, and she could feel the scorching temperature of his skin. Li Yan smiled. Why? Since you werent able to threaten me sessfully, you decided to seduce me instead? What a bastard! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth. Ignoring the flush on her face, she smiled seductively. Uncle, you look like a decent man. Why would you resort to grabbing your nieces thigh? Uncle? Miss Qiao, why would a niece climb onto her uncles bed? What nonsense are you Qiao Mu refuted subconsciously, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized that something was not quite right. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Before she could recall anything, Li Yan had already removed his hand from her thigh. He said in a husky voice, Your threat doesnt work on me. What Ill do about the information I have depends on my mood. Im in a pretty good mood tonight, so Ill let you off the hook for now. Qiao Mu immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. If he brought this up after tonight, he would not sound as convincing. Li Yan turned and left. He stopped at the doorway of the balcony. His voice was cold with a hint of yfulness as he said slowly, And, I remember saying that Im not interested in girls with underage bodies. Underage bodies Qiao Mu widened her eyes abruptly. She was about to ask Li Yan about it, but thetter had walked away without turning back. A vague memory shed past her mind, and Qiao Mu stood rooted to the spot in disbelief. The man she encountered on the cruise ship was Li Yan! Not only did she toy with him when she was drunk, but she had also slept on his bed! .. That night, Qiao Mu had a very realistic dream. She dreamed about the day she first joined the Qiao family. There was a fifteen-year-old teenage boy there, and she was five that year. Everyone told Qiao Mu that that teenage boy was her uncle. But Qiao Mu did not listen to them and kept calling him big brother. One day, when he was eight, Li Yan migrated overseas with his family, and she no longer got to see her big brother who lived next door. Qiao Mu did not sleep well that night, and she looked tired when she got to campus. Amused, Chi Xia asked, Mu Mu, why do you look so worn out? Could it be that things didnt go well at your stepmothers birthday party? Qiao Mu pped the table forcefully and red at Chi Xia. Youre the one to talk! You didnt watch your words yesterday, and someone overheard our conversation. Oh, no! What happened after that? Qiao Mu sighed and rested her head on the table. All is well for now, but I dont know whats going to happen next. Whatever it is, someone has something on me now. Qiao Mu paused for a moment andnguidly gave Chi Xia a sidelong nce. I wanted to treat the person who knitted the scarf to a meal if things went well at the birthday dinner. But now that youve ruined things, you should be the one paying for the meal instead. Chi Xia was rendered speechless. She was kind enough to deliver the birthday gift to Qiao Mu. Not only did she have to pay for the cab, but she ended up having to treat Yao Shu to a meal too. What a friend! .. Qiao Mu was a first year university student, and she shared her dorm with two other people. Chi Xia was one of her roommates, and her other roommate was Yao Shu, the one who knitted the scarf. As they sat in the cafeteria, Yao Shu showed the two young women the second scarf she knitted. It looked a lot better than the first one, and she had obviously put a lot of effort into it. What do you guys think? This one looks a lot more exquisite, right? Do you think that he will like it? Qiao Mu said in exasperation, We dont even know which guy youre referring to. Why would we know if hell like it? I know right! Young Shu, who on earth is this guy you like? Chi Xia asked out of curiosity. Yao Shu shed a mysterious smile. Its not time for me to tell you guys about it. Im nning to confess to him, and Ill tell you guys who it is if things go well. Qiao Mu did not ask anymore questions. Yao Shu was an introvert, and the fact that she decided to confess showed that she was very into this guy. This was when Qiao Mus cell phone rang. Her expression changed when she saw the caller disy. She rose and left the table. Give me a moment. I need to pick up this call. The corridor was empty. Qiao Mu answered the call, and a female voice rang out from the other side of the line. Mu Mu, Im kind of short on cash right now. Can you send me some money? Qiao Mus expression became cold. She said in a low voice, I have no money. Stop pretending to be poor in front of me. Im only asking you for help because I have no other way. I owe someone 300,000 RMB because I borrowed money to gamble, and theyre going to kill me if I cant pay. Are you really so cruel that you dont mind seeing me die? Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Why the heck are you gambling again!? Didnt you say the other time that youll never gamble again!? Its only been a short while since then, and you managed to rack up 300,000 RMB in debt! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth, and her tone was extremely cold. No matter what you say, it doesnt change the fact that I have no money. Im only a student. Why the heck would I have 300,000 RMB? I have already given you the money that I have saved throughout the years before this, and I had to borrow money from my friend to give you 50,000 RMB the other day. I havent even paid all the money back yet! When the other party heard this, she was embarrassed and furious. Youre seriously heartless. How dare you tell me that you have no money! Since when are you so cruel? Or is it because after staying in the Qiao family for a few years, youve forgotten about me and think of that woman, Yu Tingyun as your mother instead? Mum, you Stop calling me mum. No daughter would leave their mother to die like this. Youre enjoying life as the daughter of the rich man and ignoring your birth mother who brought you into this world. Do you think that you would get to live such a luxurious life without me? Qiao Jiannan is so rich, and youre his birth daughter. Whats so difficult about asking for a few hundred thousand RMB from him as your pocket money? Qiao Mus heart slowly sank, and whatever pity she felt for her birth mother disappeared. So, should I thank you for selling me back then? The person on the other end of line was her birth mother, and she was a selfish woman who sold off her daughter for the sake of money! Qiao Mu suppressed the sadness in her heart, and she could hear her birth mother sobbing. Mu Mu, I only did that for your sake, as you wouldnt have been able to live such a luxurious life where you dont have to worry about food and money now. I really have no other choice right now. I dont want to do this to you either. Please, you must help me this time. You cant just do nothing while those loan sharks beat me to death, can you? Your father likes you very much. As long as you ask him for money, he would definitely This happened all the time, and Qiao Mu was already numb to her birth mothers words. Qiao Mu could not take it anymore and hung up. She leaned against the marble wall. The coldness of the wall seeped into her back, and her heart was cold too. Ten years ago, her birth mother, Zhou Jieru, sold her to the Qiao family. Yes, that was correct. She sold Qiao Mu for 1,000,000 RMB. Zhou Jieru was an avid gambler, and she used to ask for money from Qiao Jiannan again and again, saying that she needed it to raise her daughter. Qiao Mu knew that to Zhou Jieru, she was nothing but a source of ie. Since Zhou Jieru had Qiao Mu with her, she never had to worry about money. That was until one day, when Zhou Jieru owed someone 600,000 RMB from gambling. At that point of time, her daughter had be nothing but a burden for her. Hence, she decided to negotiate with Qiao Jiannan. She offered to give Qiao Mu to Qiao Jiannan in exchange for 3,000,000 RMB. Qiao Jiannan did not agree to this sum. In the end, because of how much Zhou Jieru needed money, she decided topromise and ask for 1,000,000 RMB. This was when she handed over custody of Qiao Mu to Qiao Jiannan. Now that Qiao Mu thought about it, if her father did not buy over her custody from Zhou Jieru for 1,000,000 RMB, she did not know what kind of horrible life she would be leading now. Because of Zhou Jierus problematic personality, Qiao Jiannan did not allow Qiao Mu to keep in touch with her. However, Zhou Jieru always asked Qiao Mu for money behind Qiao Jiannans back. Qiao Mu wanted to make up her mind to ignore Zhou Jieru, but that woman was after all, her birth mother. Qiao Mu leaned against the wall helplessly. They were talking about 300,000 RMB, for Gods sake. She was obviously not able to get this sum of money. Zhou Jieru had always thought that Qiao Mu was living a luxurious life with tens of thousands of RMB of pocket money. Her birth mother had no idea that she was merely an outsider in the Qiao family, and that her status waspletely differentpared to that of Qiao Yas. Qiao Jiannan liked her very much, but she was after all, an illegitimate child. Yu Tingyun would get upset if Qiao Jiannan treated her too well, and he had no choice but to care about his wifes feelings. Qiao Mu totally understood where Qiao Jiannan wasing from, and she had always been very sensible about it since she was young. She tried her best not to trouble her father by ying her role as an outsider of the family well to avoid upsetting Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Qiao Mu was not deprived of anything in life, but aside from this, she did not get much pocket money. She only had a little bit of savings, and that money was what she earned working part-time jobs during school holidays. Qiao Mu thought about things for a moment and made a call, Senior Han Su, I would like to ask you for a favor. The person at the other line sounded d. Mu Mu, its rare for you to take the initiative to contact me. Whats the matter? I heard that Shades of Darkness belongs to your family. I want to get a part-time job there. Can you help me out? Shades of Darkness was a high-ss nightclub. Han Su chuckled. A part-time job? Are you kidding? What are you going to work as? A bargirl? A dancer? Or Qiao Mu took a deep breath. As long as theres no hanky-panky, Im willing to do whatever brings the most money! .. Qiao Mu stood outside Shades of Darkness. She had put on thick makeup, with smoky eyes and red lipstick. She was wearing so much blusher that her cheeks looked unnaturally red. Her originally pure and beautiful face appeared dull and lifeless because of all that makeup, and she even looked a little indecent. This was how she made sure that no one would try anything funny on her. She had exined her situation to Han Su, and Han Su got her a job as a liquor promoter. Chi Xia was standing behind Qiao Mu, and there was a worried expression on her face. Mu Mu, have you really thought this through? Shades of Darkness isnt the kind of ce that you should be going to. Its going to be messy inside there. What if something bad happens to you? Youre nothing but a defenseless girl. Xia Xia, itll be okay. All the customers inside there are big bosses, and they wont be interested in someone who looks the way I do right now. For every bottle of liquor I sell, Ill earn more than what I used to get working for a month as a waitress. Theres no helping it. I really need money right now. I really think that we should leave. Ill think of a way to get you the money. Were talking about 300,000 RMB here. You have lent all your money to me the other time. Do you even have any money left? Chi Xia sighed. She knew about Qiao Mus birth mother, and she knew what a detestable woman she was. She saw her birth daughter as nothing other than a source of ie, and she never considered the fact that Qiao Mu might not be living a good life in the Qiao family. But Qiao Mu was too kind, and she could not bring herself to turn Zhou Jieru down. She gave all the money she got from working part-time to her mother, and even so, Zhou Jieru was not satisfied. Qiao Mu shot Chi Xia a reassuring look. Dont worry. Nothing bad will happen to me. Alright, Ill go in first. If Qiao Mu had a choice, she would not want to work in a nightclub either. She told herself that this was absolutely thest time she would be paying her mothers debts. Han Su had contacted the manager beforehand, so Qiao Mu went straight to the manager. The manager arranged things for her and reminded her not to offend any of the customers. This was because all the customers there were rich and powerful people, and it would be hard for her to pacify them if she were to offend them. Qiao Mu nodded a few times. Before she left, the manager said, Its inevitable that customers would try something funny on girls working as liquor promoters, so dont make a big deal out of it. But with the way youre looking now, I dont think any of them would be interested in you. Qiao Mu was rendered speechless. But well, this was what she was trying to achieve, anyway. Qiao Mu held a bottle of red wine as she knocked on the door of one of the private lounges. There were around five people in the private lounge. Qiao Mu looked around, and her gaze fell upon one of the customers. That person stood out among the rest of the customers, and there was a cold expression on his face. He did not seem affected at all by the fact that the people around him were trying to suck up to him. Was this breathtakingly handsome man not Li Yan? At that moment, Qiao Mu finally understood why people always said that enemies often cross each others path. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Qiao Mu immediately turned and left without hesitation. She said, Sorry for disturbing. Wait a moment. Before Qiao Mu could walk out of the door, a cold voice rang out. What do you work as? Qiao Mu lowered her head and said in a soft voice, I came to ask you guys if you want some red wine, but then I realized that you guys are already having it. So, I reckoned that you guys wont be ordering anymore red wine How do you know that we wont be ordering any? You didnt even ask us. Li Yan nced at the bottle of red wine Qiao Mu was holding. Lafite Rothschild 1982? How much? 120,000 RMB! Li Yan arched an eyebrow, and his gaze fell upon Qiao Mus face. As usual, he was expressionless, but his gaze somehow sent Qiao Mu into confusion. Qiao Mu did not understand this man. Compared to ten years ago, he had be even more unfathomable. A middle-aged man beside him said with a smile, Young Master Li, youre interested in Lafite Rothschild? I have two bottles in my collection. Ill send them over to you tomorrow. Li Yan smiled tly. I appreciate your kind offer, President Chen. But I feel like drinking it now. President Chen was taken aback. Li Yan mentioned just now that he would only focus on business matters today without drinking. President Chen looked at Qiao Mu, who was standing at the doorway, and raised his voice. Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring the wine over! Qiao Mu could not believe that she managed to sell one bottle of red wine so easily. She had even raised the price of the red wine by 20,000 RMB when Li Yan asked her about it just now because she wanted to flee the scene. She did not expect Li Yan to still want the red wine. If she had known that he was such a generous person, she would have said that the bottle of red wine cost 200, 000 RMB! Qiao Mu brought the bottle of wine over. She lowered her head to avoid Li Yans cold gaze and focused on opening the bottle of red wine. This was when someone grabbed her wrist. Qiao Mu turned and saw that the middle-aged man was holding her wrist. There was a perverted expression on his face. Miss, I see that you dont even know how to open a bottle of wine. Do you need my help? Qiao Mu felt nauseous. She almost shoved the middle-aged mans hand away out of reflex, but she recalled what the manager had said about not offending customers. She decided to put up with it for the time being. She reached out for a wine ss and stealthily withdrew her hand from President Chens grip while doing so. Qiao Mu forced a smile, Boss, its my job to open the wine bottle. You shouldnt snatch my job away from me. President Chen rubbed his hands together. This young woman isnt beautiful, but she had a pretty nice body. Her skin is soft and fair, and it feels really nice to the touch. President Chen reached out again, but Qiao Mu was able to react quickly, and she stepped aside to avoid the man. President Chens expression changed. Where are you going? Come and have a drink with me! Boss, we have a sales target to hit every day. I dont mind drinking with you, but I need to work. You can leave if you want to, but you have to finish this bottle of whisky first. President Chen ced half a bottle of whisky before Qiao Mu, and Qiao Mus expression froze. She could not help but curse President Chen internally. After finishing the whisky, she might not even be sober enough to step out of the door. Right now, she would not be able to leave the private lounge easily whether she drank the whisky or not. President Chen looked at Li Yan with a smile. Young Master Li, you dont mind some entertainment, do you? Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan without being aware of it, and there was a tiny flicker of hope in her heart that Li Yan would help her out. Li Yan was sittingnguidly on the couch, and he was tapping the armrest of the couch with his slender fingers in a rhythmic manner. He shed a slight smile. President Chen, your hobby is very unique indeed. President Chen did not know Li Yan well. He had only heard that Li Yan was a cruel and ruthless person who was merciless when it came to business matters. But after meeting him for the first time tonight, President Chen felt that Li Yan was merely a cold and distant person, and that he was not as scary as what was said in the rumors. Hence, after Li Yan replied with a nonchnt tone, President Chen thought that Li Yan agreed with what he was doing. Chapter 13 Chapter 13 President Chen was actually quite a clever man. If it was not for the fact that he was slightly drunk, he would have been able to sense the cold aura Li Yan was emanating. Even though Li Yan was smiling, his gaze was extremely icy. President Chen did not know one thing. Yes, Li Yan was cruel and ruthless, but he never let it show on his face. President Chen looked at Qiao Mu with interest. If you finish this bottle of whisky, I will buy so many bottles of liquor that you reach your sales target! Qiao Mu was taken aback. Really? As long as youre able to finish drinking the bottle of whisky, money isnt a problem for me. President Chenughed slyly. Yes, money isnt a problem for me, but will you be sober enough to leave? Qiao Mu knew that she was unable to escape the clutches of this man, and that Li Yan had no intention of helping her. But why would he help her? He could not recognize her because of the thick makeup, and even if he could, there was no reason for him to help her out. This man was no longer the teenage boy from ten years ago who would protect her at all cost. Aside from this, it was not a losing deal for her either. As long as she was able to finish the bottle of wine, she would get arge sum ofmision tonight. And right now, the money was very attractive to her. Alright! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and nodded. Alright? Li Yans fingers froze, and he narrowed his dark orbs. The emotions in his eyes could not be deciphered. Why is she so crazy about money? Even though this young woman before her was wearing thick and ugly makeup, it only took one nce for him to recognize her. And no matter how hard she tried, it was impossible for her to hide her pure and innocent gaze. Why would she work at this kind of ce? And she did not want to say no to such a bizarre request for the sake of making some money! Qiao Mu grabbed the bottle of whisky on the table, raised her head and started chugging the liquor down. She nned to finish it as soon as possible so that she could leave while she was still sober. The effects of the alcohol would take some time to start showing, after all. The whisky was dry and spicy, and she could not help but cough. Why the heck is it so spicy? What kind of whisky is this? After coughing for a short while, Qiao Mu continued to drink. But this time, before the liquid could enter her mouth, the whisky bottle had already flown off. In the very next moment, there was a loud bang. The whisky bottle fell to the floor and shattered. Qiao Mu looked at the man before her in a daze. There was a dark expression on his face, and he was staring at her with his hawk-like eyes. Does the whisky taste good? Qiao Mu ignored the burning sensation in her throat and shook her head without being aware of it. She pouted. Of course it doesnt taste good! Young Master Li President Chen was shocked as he looked at Li Yan, who had already risen from the couch. The man, who looked nonchnt just now, was wearing a dark expression, and he emanated an extremely horrifying aura. Li Yan gave President Chen a sidelong nce, and his voice was extremely icy. President Chen, dont go overboard. Certainly Youre right, Young Master Li. President Chen was so scared that his legs were turning limb, and he had no idea what was going on. He rose to pour Li Yan a ss of wine to lighten up the atmosphere, but he had only taken a step forward when he lost bnce and fell. He ced his hands on the floor to steady himself, but that part of the floor happened to be where the ss shards were. There was a loud and shrill scream. President Chen was about to curse the person who was stupid enough to cause him to trip, but the moment he turned, he realized that there was no one other than Li Yan beside him! Li Yan said nonchntly, President Chen, you have had a little too much to drink. The ss shards had pierced into President Chens palms, and blood was seeping out of the wounds. He grimaced in pain, but he had no choice but to force a smile. Please forgive me, Young Master Li. Ive indeed drunk a little too much. Sorry for the blunder. The private lounge immediately became silent. Qiao Mu stood rooted to the spot. Is he helping me out? Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Li Yan stode out of the private lounge, and before he left, he said coldly, Thats all for our business discussion today. President Chen, youll have to be responsible for your actions. President Chen was horrified. These words had practically sent him straight to hell. They indicated how tough his life in the business world was going to be in the future. He did not understand what he had done to offend this extremely powerful man. Li Yan stopped when he reached the doorway. He turned and looked at Qiao Mu. You dont want to stay here and continue drinking, do you? Qiao Mu regained her senses, and she quickly followed Li Yan. She felt dizzy the moment she stepped out of the doorway. She was starting to get drunk. Qiao Mu did not know if Li Yan recognized her, but her instincts told her that she must take the opportunity to flee the scene. Hence, after exiting the private lounge, Qiao Mu went toward the left when she saw that Li Yan was taking a right turn. Where are you going? A husky voice rang out from behind her. Qiao Mu raised her head and saw that Li Yan was standing beside her. His eyes were narrowed. Were you going to leave without saying a thing? Ive just helped you out. Shouldnt you thank me? His head was lowered as he looked at her, and there was an arrogant expression on his face. He was making it sound as though he had done an extremely good deed. Since he intended to help me, why didnt he do it in the beginning? Why did he have to wait until Ive drank so much whisky to act? She snorted and raised her head to look at him. Ive not even med you for ruining my business yet! If it wasnt for you, I would have been able to reach my sales target and get a handsomemision today Li Yans expression turned dark. He pressed her against the wall and grabbed her chin. Do you need money that much? Isnt the Qiao family treating you well? Why do you have to resort to earning money at this kind of ce? The Qiao family Qiao Mu had a sudden realization. As it seemed, he recognized her, or he would not have cared about whatever was happening to her. This was how the world worked. The more you did not want something to happen, the more it woulde true. Qiao Mu bit her lower lip and tried to fight the dizziness. She pretended to be clueless. What are you saying? Why dont I understand what youre saying? Li Yan narrowed his dark orbs. Qiao Mu, dont bother trying to outwit me. His voice was husky, and he was obviously giving her a warning. Qiao Mu wanted to pretend to be clueless until the end, but she no longer dared to do so. She chuckled and massaged her temples. She then pretended to have a sudden realization. Oh, uncle, its you! Sorry for not being able to recognize you just now, Im a little drunk She was not lying when she said that she was drunk. She was feeling the full effects of the alcohol now, and she felt like she was floating. She was trying her best to hold on to herst strand of consciousness. Li Yans expression was dark. Can she stop calling me uncle!? It was like she was trying to distance herself from him. Why are you working here? Do you need money? No, Im actually here to get some life experiences. To get some life experiences? Li Yans expression immediately turned cold. What kind of life experiences does she want? The experience of almost getting molested by a pervert? He narrowed his eyes and wrapped an arm around her waist. She was taken aback as he suddenly brought his lips to hers. He sucked her lips and stuck his tongue into her mouth. He then twirled his tongue around hers. Qiao Mu sucked in a sharp breath, and she was so shocked that she was unable to react. Is he kissing me!? Qiao Mu was blushing as she red at the handsome face before her. She opened her mouth and bit his lower lip with force. Li Yan merely froze for a moment before kissing her even more passionately, as if he was punishing her for fighting back. His breath was hot against her skin, and it was as if the heat was exacerbating the effects of the alcohol. Qiao Mu could barely breathe. The moment Li Yan let go of her, she shouted furiously, Li Yan, youre an asshole! Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Li Yan gently rubbed her lips with his fingers, and he said yfully, Didnt you say that you want to get some life experiences? How was it? Did you manage to gain something? Qiao Mu was rendered speechless. Of course not! Ive suffered huge losses instead, okay? Qiao Mu did not know whether it was because she was angry or because of the alcohol, but her body was heating up uncontrobly from the inside, and she felt tremendously bad. She kicked him forcefully and ran away. But she had only managed to take a few steps when her legs went limp, and she plopped down to the floor. Li Yan crossed his arms before his chest and lowered his head to look at her. Why? Have you forgotten how to walk? Qiao Mu felt that something was not quite right, and it was as if there was a fire burning in her body. She cut a pitiable figure as she raised her head to look at Li Yan. Is there poison inside that bottle of whisky? Why are my legs going limp? Drugged Isnt this little thing a little too imaginative? Li Yan found it amusing. He reckoned that the little thing had drank too much, and she was starting to act crazy. After all, he had seen her drunk before. However, Qiao Mus face was scrunched up because of how horrible she was feeling. She ced her hands before her chest, and it seemed like every breath was arduous for her. She really looked like she was in pain. Only then did Li Yan realize that something was wrong. He helped Qiao Mu up and asked with furrowed eyebrows. Where does it hurt? Qiao Mu pointed at where her heart was. Its beating really fast. I feel horrible. Her cheeks were unnaturally red, and her hands were burning hot. This was not how a drunk person should feel. Her consciousness was starting to slip away, and she clutched Li Yans clothes tightly as she was worried that he would leave her alone. Li Yan reached out and touched her skin. It was abnormally hot. His expression immediately became ice-cold. Damn it! President Chen is such a f*cker! He actuallyced the whisky with an aphrodisiac! Li Yan supported Qiao Mu as they walked towards the elevator. This was when someone walked over from the opposite direction. That person stopped in his tracks when he saw Qiao Mu. Mu Mu, what happened to you? Qiao Mu was in a daze as she looked at that person. Senior Han Su Han Su could tell that Qiao Mu was in an abnormal state. He froze for a moment when he saw the man beside Qiao Mu. He then smiled politely. Sir, it seems that Qiao Mu has had a little too much to drink. Do you mind letting me take over from here? Han Su knew that the man before him was Li Yan. Li Yan was extremely renowned in the business world, and everyone knew him. Even though this was their first time meeting, Han Su immediately recognized who he was. Li Yan arched an eyebrow when he heard what Han Su said. Do I mind? Who are you to her? I am her boyfriend. Since Mu Mu is drunk, I should not trouble you with her. Han Su smiled. He was the one who arranged for Qiao Mu to work here, and he could not just stand idly by as another man took her away. Boyfriend? Li Yans expression immediately turned dark, and his face was frighteningly icy. He grabbed Qiao Mus chin and said in a husky voice. Tell him who I am to you. Qiao Mu looked at the handsome face before her in a daze. Her consciousness was already slipping away, and she said without being aware of it, Youre my uncle. Li Yan shed a cold smile and looked at Han Su. Did you hear that? Han Su froze. Uncle? Li Yan is Qiao Mus uncle? Why would Qiao Mu be facing financial problems when she has such a powerful uncle? However, before Han Su could say anything, Li Yan had already helped Qiao Mu into the elevator. Right before the doors slid close, a warning rang out from the elevator. Dont let me catch you being anywhere near her again. Li Yan was obviously being extremely possessive, and Han Su was taken aback. Is this how an uncle should be acting? Chapter 16 Chapter 16 In the hotel, Li Yan helped Qiao Mu into a room. He then brought her to the bathroom and said, Wash yourself and regain your senses beforeing out. Li Yan was about to leave the bathroom when Qiao Mu tugged at his shirt. She was in agony as she bit her lower lip, she looked like she was in quite a daze. Dont go. Help me She felt like tens of thousands of ants were biting her skin, and she was in so much pain that she could barely breathe. She could no longer stop her body temperature from rising. She identally touched Li Yan, and his skin felt so icy that it felt like a drop of water in the desert. She did not want to let this feeling go. Qiao Mu could not bear the pain anymore. She went before Li Yan and started touching his chest. Li Yan looked at the woman before him. Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were ssy. Her lips parted and closed as she panted, and she looked like a delicious dish that was ready-to-serve. Li Yans body stiffened. He grabbed her wandering hands and said in a husky voice, Qiao Mu, do you know why youre feeling so bad? Qiao Mu bit her lower lip, and her voice was extremely meek. I was drugged. Li Yan stayed silent for a moment. At least theres still a hint of rationality in her. Qiao Mu, youll have to pay the price for asking for my help! Qiao Mu blinked dumbfoundedly. She could barely take the difort anymore. She grabbed his neck and brought her lips to his. Li Yan stiffened. He did not want to have s*x with her, at least not so soon. After all, she had just turned eighteen. However, this woman had taken the initiative to kiss him twice and seduce him. If he were to be indifferent to it, it would have meant that he was not a normal, healthy male. Moreover, the other party was a woman who had been tugging at his heart strings for ten years. To be precise, she was not a woman, but a teenage girl. In the very next moment, Li Yan carried Qiao Mu and ced her on therge bed. He then pinned her down with his hulking figure. His profound ck orbs darkened with desire. Little thing, do you know who I am? Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes and looked at the face before her. He was breathtakingly handsome. She chuckled and mumbled subconsciously, Big brother Li Yan froze. He felt as if the door to his heart was suddenly opened, and all his memories came flooding back. He clutched her chin and kissed her passionately. Qiao Mu, since youre giving yourself to me today, remember that Im the only man in your life from now onward! The moment he finished speaking, he immediately prated her and made her his. .. After they were done making love, Qiao Mu slept quietly as Li Yan sat by the bed and lit a cigarette. He exhaled a puff of smoke and lowered his gaze to look at the woman, who was sleeping soundly. She looked innocent and pure, and this made him want to protect her, just like how he used to ten years ago. Li Yan was already eighteen ten years ago. Unlike Qiao Mu who could not remember anything because she was too young, he could remember all the memories they shared very well. The first time he met young Qiao Mu, the little girl who looked like a doll was sitting under a tree and weeping. She told him that her mother did not want her anymore, and that even though her mother was not nice to her, she wanted to be with her mother. She sobbed as she asked him if she was not likable. She said that no one liked her. That was the first time Li Yan did not find a crying girl annoying. Instead, his heart ached. He rubbed her head and consoled her. Youre amazing, and you look like a doll. My mum had always wanted an adorable daughter like you. The girl, who was crying miserably, immediately shed a smile. Her eyes were watery as she blinked. Really? Big brother, youre such a great person! He only found out after some time that the little girl was the Qiao familys illegitimate daughter who had just started staying with them. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Li Yan thought that after being sold by her birth mother to her father, this illegitimate child would feel inferior and be withdrawn. However, young Qiao Mu was able to deal with the members of the Qiao household well. She continued living a carefree life even though her stepmother and stepsister were pretentious and bullied her all the time. She was only five years old at that time. Her family members told her that Li Yan was her uncle, but being the innocent little girl she was, she refused to call him anything other than big brother. She said to him behind everyones back, Big brother, dont tell my father and Aunt Yun about me crying. The members of the Qiao family dont allow me to talk about my mum, and Qiao Ya said that my mum is a bad woman. He nodded just to pacify her, but she asked him to make a pinky promise with her. She said that this was their secret. The cigarette had burnt out. Li Yan could feel its heat on his fingers, and this jolted him out of his reverie. He put out the cigarette. The little thing beside him squired a little and moved closer toward him. She had changed a lot after ten years. The only thing that did not change was that she was still capable of tugging at his heart strings. She had seeded. Again, she managed to seduce him! .. Qiao Mus eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she slept, and she parted her lips a little. She looked like she was having an unpleasant dream. She dreamed about the day her mother sold her off to her father. Her mother started haggling with her father as she wanted arge sum of money from him. She did not care that her daughter was there at all, and her words were mean and ruthless. After they settled on a price, her father held her hand as they walked away from her mother. She then dreamed about something else. She dreamed about how the big brother next door whom she liked very much suddenly disappeared. His whole family had moved away. She cried her heart out, and she felt as miserable as she did the day her mother sold her off to her father. Her heart ached as she opened her eyes abruptly. Only then did Qiao Mu realize that she was dreaming. Shey there in a daze. She often dreamed about her mother abandoning her, but this was the first time she had dreamed about Li Yan leaving. Her eyes were wet, and she realized that she had been crying. Perhaps, that memory hade back because Li Yan suddenly showed up in her life again. She did not expect herself to feel so sad. Qiao Mu was in a daze for quite a while before she came round. She sat up, and she froze when she realized that her whole body was aching. She was in neither her room in the Qiao familys mansion nor her hostel. She was in an unfamiliar ce! Qiao Mu immediately became so shocked that her heart skipped a beat. Her shoulders felt cold, and she finally regained her sensespletely. She realized that she was naked The memory of what happened the night before slowly flooded into her mind, and her face immediately turned pale. She and Li Yan She only remembered that Li Yan had ced her on the bed. After thatDamn it, why cant I remember anything? There was no one beside her. Qiao Mu did not know whether to feel relieved or disappointed. This was when the bathroom door opened. The man that she thought had left appeared before her. He was wearing a bathrobe, and he nced nonchntly at her. He did not look guilty and uneasy at all after taking advantage of the fact that she was drunk! Qiao Mu blinked as she looked at Li Yan, and her ears were red. No matter how upset she was, she could not change what had happened. Right now, she must appear calm! But the person before her was Li Yan, her stepmothers cousin. Technically, he was her uncle. Why was she careless enough to f*ck him? Erm no. Her waist was hurting right now, but he appeared nonchnt and unaffected. He was the one who f*cked her! Li Yan saw Qiao Mus facial expression. He tossed the towel he was holding aside and said tly, Youre awake. Lets talk about what happenedst night. Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Qiao Mu immediately became nervous. What is there to talk about? You did such a thing to me when I was drunk. What are we even going to talk about? You better not try to evade responsibility! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. You want me to take responsibility? He did not really expect this. For a moment, he did not know how to react to this little thing. Of course you must take responsibility. Theres no such thing as a free lunch in this world! Qiao Mu said firmly. She extended her hand. Im not asking for much. 300,000 RMB, and Ill forget whatever had happened. I promise that I wont hound you regarding this matter, and that Ill keep it a secret! Li Yans smile faded when he heard what Qiao Mu said, and his expression immediately became extremely icy. He narrowed his eyes, and his gaze was cold. 300,000 RMB? Was this what she meant when she asked him to take responsibility? She wanted money from him? When Qiao Mu saw his sudden change in expression, she shrunk subconsciously. Is 300,000 RMB too much for him? But with this mans worth, to him, 300,000 RMB is like what 3 RMB is to ordinary people. Hes not even willing to give me 300,000 RMB? But yesterday was my first time! Isnt he being a little too stingy? He did not used to be so stingy. Back when she was young, Qiao Ya deliberately ate a lollipop in front of her to show off. This made her extremely envious, and she was salivating. But she told Qiao Ya in disdain that lollipops caused tooth decay in children. That particr brand of lollipop caused more than 20 RMB, and that was a huge sum to a child. But Li Yan bought a lot of it for her, and she ended up having cavities. Qiao Mu decided to stop thinking about the past. She had not seen him for ten years, and even though they were very close, they were now strangers. This man before him was no longer the big brother she remembered. Qiao Mu straightened her back and cleared her throat. If you feel sorry about what has happened, you can give me 3,000,000 RMB! As expected, after she said that, Li Yans expression turned even darker. The aura he emanated was so cold that it could practically freeze people to death. Great! This young woman is still as good at pissing people off as ever. In fact, she needs a good smack! Li Yan forcefully pulled the bathrobe off his body. Just when Qiao Mu thought that he was about to pounce on her and do something indecent, Li Yan picked up his clothes and started putting them on. He was actually getting dressed in front of him just like that! Li Yan tightened his grip on his clothes, and the veins on his hands were bulging. His voice was ice-cold. Qiao Mu, listen up! I dont n to take responsibility! What!? Qiao Mu did not expect him to give such a straightforward reply, and she widened her eyes in disbelief. Li Yan, are you trying to dine and dash!? Li Yan was rendered speechless. To her, what he had done was uneptable. But she was only so shocked and stunned because he refused to give her money. If he were to pay her, there would no longer be anything between them. She had never thought of things from his perspective! Just a moment ago, he even thought that this young woman was merely being as straightforward to him as she used to be ten years ago. What she had said after that totally caught him off guard! Even though Li Yan was extremely furious, he was putting on his clothes very slowly. He slowly buttoned up his shirt with his long and slender fingers. 300,000 RMB is indeed too little for someones virginity. 3,000,000 RMB is still okay. After Li Yan said this, he could see that Qiao Mus eyes had visibly lit up. His expression darkened as he continued, Qiao Mu, based on the way things progressedst night, you were the one who initiated the s*x, and I merely helped you out so that you dont have to suffer the effects of the aphrodisiac. Youre the one who should take responsibility instead. So, you should be giving me 3,000,000 RMB! Qiao Mu was immediately rendered speechless, and she did not know what was going on. I should take responsibility? I should give him 3,000,000 RMB? Why is he so shameless!? After pausing for a moment, Li Yan added, Last night, it was my first time too. Qiao Mu did not say anything. First time? Hes obviously lying! Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Qiao Mu was seriously about to cry. She did not know that Li Yan was such a shameless person, to the point that he would bicker with an innocent young woman over such a matter! If it was not for that fact that she really needed money right now, she would not even engage in this conversation with him. She would definitely throw 300 RMB on the bed in a generous manner before turning and leaving gloriously. But even queens had to bend their backs every now and then. There was no helping it. She happened to desperately need money at the moment. Qiao Mu naturally knew that 3,000,000 RMB was only a small sum to Li Yan. So why was he doing this to her? She suddenly had an idea. Qiao Mu smiled and said, Uncle, dont tell me that you have fallen in love with me, and that everything that happened yesterday was part of your n. You deliberately set things up so that I entered the private lounge you were in, and you asked the man to make things difficult for me and drug me. You then pretended toe to my rescue so that I am indebted to you, and this way, you can make me mine. Am I right? Li Yans expression was as cold as ever while the young woman sitting on the bed looked cunningly at him like a little fox. The emotions in Li Yans profound dark eyes could not be deciphered. He said slowly, What if I say that youre right? What? Qiao Mu froze. She was just trying to turn the tables so that she seemed like she had been taken advantage of. She was merely making things up. She did not expect him to admit to it. Qiao Mu quickly tried toe up with a reply. This was when Li Yan said, You have an overactive imagination. He was leaning against the wall with his hands crossed in front of his chest. He appeared calm as he looked at her. If I wanted you, I could have made you mine the night you entered my room in the cruise ship. Why would I need to set you up? What Li Yan had just said was a great insult to Qiao Mu. She had taken the initiative to enter Li Yans room but managed to leave unscathed the following day. For Gods sake, she was a woman. This was not even the main point. The main point was that Li Yan had said in disdain that he was not interested in underage bodies! Since he was not interested in her, why was he so full of lustst night? Alright, this was merely her imagination. Qiao Mu did not actually remember what had happened. She only knew that her whole body was aching. Qiao Mu balled up her fists. Uncle, if other people find out that you had s*x with your niece, your precious reputation would be destroyed. Give me 300,000 RMB, and I will keep quiet about it. This isnt toorge a sum, is it? Shes talking about money again! Why is she so crazy about money!? Li Yan pursed his lips, and the aura he emanated was icy. You dont seem like an intelligent person. Youre talking about keeping your mouth shut, right? Are you trying to threaten me or yourself? I wouldnt mind at all if youin to your stepmother that her cousin had f*cked you. If you want, I can even talk to her on your behalf. Qiao Mu was rendered speechless, and her face was contorted. She felt as if she had just dug a hole for herself. If Yu Tingyun found out about what had happened between her and Li Yan, this stepmother of hers would have something against her. Things definitely would not end well. Qiao Mu chuckled to make the atmosphere less awkward. Why did none of her threats work on him!? Li Yan lowered his gaze to look at her. The Qiao family pays for your living expenses and university fees. What do you need 300,000 RMB for? Qiao Mus head was lowered, and she sounded a little upset. I want to buy luxury goods. Qiao Ya has a lot of branded clothes, handbags and jewelry. Im really envious. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 He knew what life was like for her in the Qiao family. It had been like this since she was young. Qiao Ya would get plenty of expensive stuff which she had to live without. Fortunately, she did not really mind. It was just that sometimes when she really wanted something, she would talk about it again and again to Li Yan. Big brother, what does the ice cream Qiao Ya is eating taste like? It looks really tasty. Li Yan would then reply, Its spicy. Ah? Its definitely not tasty, then. Li Yan would thenugh as he looked at her. Now that Qiao Mu thought about it, he was definitelyughing because of how stupid she was. She used to believe in everything he said. He would then buy her an ice cream, and she would eat it so messily that her lips were full of cream. She would then ask him, Big brother, do you want to give it a try. Theres some cream on my lips. Do you want to lick it? Qiao Mu was surprised at how good her memory was. She had actually forgotten a lot of things that had happened when she was young, but after she met Li Yan again, she could not help but recall a lot of memories she shared with him. When she regained her senses, she saw that Li Yan was walking toward him. She froze and looked vigntly at him as he approached her. She clutched her nket tightly. Li Yans expression turned dark. Her vignce had put him in an extremely bad mood. Li Yan stood beside the bed and leaned closer to Qiao Mu, supporting himself by cing a hand on the bed. Qiao Mu vigntly inched backward to keep a distance from him. His handsome countenance was right before her face. Whenever he was expressionless, his face was ice-cold, and he emanated an extremely icy aura that radiated from the inside to the outside. For some reason, this made her anxious. Li Ya said in a low voice, You want money so that you can buy luxury goods? Yes! Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. Is there anything else you want? Nothing else! At this moment, Qiao Mu forgot how anxious she was. She suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, and it was as if she could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Li Yans gaze fell upon her exposed shoulders. Her skin was as fair as a wless piece of jade, and it was tremendously soft too. His eyes darkened with desire. He picked up his suit jacket and walked out of the room after saying coldly, Come to mypany on Monday. Qiao Mu widened her eyes and said nothing. Does this mean that he has agreed to it? .. Qiao Mus entire body was aching as she left the hotel room. Li Yan had left after saying those words, and she did not have time to ask him if he would be giving her money when she headed to herpany on Monday. Just as Qiao Mu was about to exit the hotel, she saw Yao Shu in the hotel lobby. Qiao Mu walked over to her and asked, Young Shu, why are you here? Since she was showing up so early in the morning in the hotel lobby, she was probably checking out instead of checking in. Yao Shu blushed and smiled shyly. Mu Mu, I confessedst night, and he said yes! Qiao Mu froze and asked in astonishment. Yao Shu, dont tell me that you were staying with him herest night? Yao Shu was blushing, and she did not deny it. Qiao Mu immediately understood what was going on. Were things not progressing a little too fast? They were spending a night together right after they started dating? Erm, she did not seem to be a position toment on this. After all, Yao Shu was spending the night with her boyfriend, but Qiao Mu spent the night with her uncle Qiao Mus cell phone started ringing. It was a call from Han Su. Qiao Mu could vaguely remember that she had bumped into Han Su after she was drunk. She quickly answered the call. Han Su asked, Mu Mu, you were drunk yesterday, and Li Yan left with you. Is he really your uncle? Qiao Mu did not remember what she had saidst night. She replied, He is, Senior Han Su. Dont worry, Im okay. Thank you for your help, but I dont think that the nightclub is a suitable ce for me to work at. I wont be going there anymore. After Qiao Mu thanked Han Su, she hung up. However, she saw that Yao Shu was fixing her gaze on her. Mu Mu, you were talking to Senior Han Su, werent you? Are you very close to him? Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Qiao Mu replied, I got lost when I was registering for courses in university, and he helped me out. Thats how I met him. Ive been facing financial problemstely, so I asked him to get me a job at his familys nightclub as a liquor promoter. Why? Yao Shu smiled and shook her head. Nothing much. I was just thinking about how Han Su is a popr guy in our university, so I found it weird that he was giving you a call. So this is whats going on. I didnt expect Senior Han Su to be such a helpful person. Moreover, hes so handsome! Is he as handsome as your boyfriend? By the way, you have not told me who your boyfriend is yet! Yao Shu had liked the guy for a very long time, and Qiao Mu was starting to get curious. Yao Shu shed a mysterious smile. Its not convenient for him to date openly in the university, so we have to keep our rtionship a secret! Why is he being so secretive with his rtionship? They have already shared a room, for Gods sake. Isnt this guy a little too unreliable? But when Qiao Mu saw the blissful expression on Yao Shus face, she did not have the heart toment. She could not even deal with her own problems, and she obviously did not have the time to stick her nose into someone elses business. .. After Qiao Mu boarded the bus, she received a call from Chi Xia. The moment she answered the call, she could hear Chi Xia growling from the other end of the phone. Qiao Mu, youre finally answering my call. You were missing in action all night, and I was so anxious! If it wasnt for the fact that I contacted Han Su and learned that you have left with your uncle, I would probably have contacted the police so that they can search for you in Shades of Darkness. I thought that you encountered a pervert and was r*ped! Qiao Mu twitched her lips. Can you stop jinxing me? Whenever you say something good, they never happen. But everytime you say something horrible, theye true! Chi Xia froze. Dont tell me that you were really Ugh stop spouting nonsense! Oh, by the way, since when do you have an uncle? Hes my stepmothers cousin. Dont tell me that he brought you home yesterday, and you got interrogated by your stepmother. Youre thinking too much. Nothing happened at all. Ill be staying at home this weekend. Ill talk to you some other time. Qiao Mu had not evene to terms with everything that had happened. She absolutely did not want Chi Xia to know about it, as she did not know how that woman would react to it. Qiao Mu got off the bus and walked towards the Qiao familys mansion. The Qiao familys mansion was located in a wealthy suburb, and there were no bus stations around it. Hence, after getting off the bus, she had to walk for around twenty minutes to reach home. Qiao Mu had been staying in the dorm ever since she was in high school, and she went home every weekend. As she walked, a car behind her honked. Immediately after that, a white Mercedes-Benz stopped beside her. The window was wound down, and Qiao Ya was wearing a pair of sunsses as she looked at Qiao Mu. She looked like a high and mighty queen who was looking at a peasant. Qiao Mu, how many times have I told you this before? Wear a cap and cover your face when youre walking home. Youre the only person who would take a bus home in this area. If other people see you, it would be a disgrace for our family. A hint of coldness shed past Qiao Mus eyes, but she shed an innocent smile. Big sister, I know that youre driving an expensive car, but how could you look down on people who take public buses? Dad had been telling us since we were young that we shouldnt be arrogant and judge other people. Qiao Yas expression changed, and even though she was wearing sunsses, the disdain and hatred in her eyes could not be hidden. She had never seen anyone who was as shameless as Qiao Mu. She had always been infuriatingly shameless ever since she was young. No matter what mean words she spoke to Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu would always look at her with a harmless and innocent expression. This really pissed her off! She was just an illegitimate child, but she never knew her ce! Qiao Ya stepped on the elerator and drove away. Qiao Mu watched as Qiao Yas car disappeared into the distance, and as usual, there was a spring in her step as she walked. Qiao Ya was nothing but a woman with big bo*bs and no brains. Every single time, she tried to provoke Qiao Mu but ended up getting infuriated herself. Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The moment Qiao Ya entered the mansion, she tossed her branded handbag, which costs tens of thousands of RMB, aside. Her expression was dark as she sat on the couch. Yu Tingyun was sitting on the couch and reading a fashion magazine. She raised her head to look at Qiao Ya. Whats wrong? Did anything unpleasant happen at work? Why are you throwing a tantrum at home? Youve just started working at thepany. You should take it slow. No, mum. I met Qiao Mu outside. I feel annoyed whenever I see her. Can you stop her froming home? Qiao Yas eyebrows were furrowed. She really hated Qiao Mu. The smile on Yu Tingyuns face faded, and she said tly, You shouldnt simply say things like this. What if your father hears it? Hell get angry. Ive told you before not to make things difficult for that girl. You just need to remember that youre the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, and that you wont be affected no matter what Qiao Mu achieves. There was disdain on Qiao Yas face. What can she achieve? Shes just a beautiful but foolish girl, a shameless one at that. I feel annoyed whenever I think of her! Yu Tingyuns expression turned cold. Things would have been easier if Qiao Mu was really a beautiful but foolish girl. Yu Tingyun despised Qiao Mu even more than Qiao Ya. Qiao Mus existence was proof that her husband had cheated on her, and no woman would be able to withstand seeing her husbands illegitimate daughter every day. No matter how good her mindset was, she could not stop herself from feeling furious and disgusted every time she saw Qiao Mu. But she had no choice but to pretend to be a good-natured wife and stepmother who did not mind that her husband had made such a mistake. Qiao Ya was still talking about Qiao Mu, and Yu Tingyun cut her off a little impatiently. Stop talking about her. She onlyes home once a week. Just live with it, and shell be gone before you know it. They could hear the sounds of the door being unlocked. Qiao Mu was back. Qiao Mu greeted Yu Tingyun with a smile. Aunt Yun, Im back. Yu Tingyun obviously did not treat Qiao Mu as kindly as she usually did whenever Qiao Jiannan was around. She nodded indifferently and continued reading the fashion magazine she was holding. Qiao Mu did not mind. She said, not caring if Yu Tingyun was listening to her, Ill head to my room first. We can eat dinner together when dad is backter. Qiao Mu did not linger in the living room and went upstairs. Because of how tired she was after what happened the night before, she fell asleep the moment shey down on her bed. It was already evening when she woke up. After she went downstairs, she realized that her father was not back yet. Yu Tingyuns expression was cold as she said, Your father has an emergency business trip. He wont being home tonight. This was when Qiao Ya said, Someone really doesnt know her ce. She doesnt even know that shes not weed here. Young Ya! Yu Tingyun called out, but her tone was not usatory at all. There was disdain on Qiao Yas face. Mum, am I wrong? She doesnt belong in our family, anyway. She pollutes the air at home every time shes back. Qiao Mu clenched her fist, and a hint of anger shed past her eyes. She said slowly, Big sister, its not a problem for you to say something like this privately, but things wont end well if dad ends up hearing it. Aunt Yun, dont you think so? Qiao Mu could put up with a lot of things the members of the Qiao family did, but this was too much. She would be a pushover if she did not fight back! You! Qiao Yas expression was dark. Yu Tingyun said nothing as she looked at Qiao Mu. Is she a so-called beautiful but foolish girl? If she is, shes definitely being foolish at the right times! Qiao Mu grabbed her backpack. Aunt Yun, I have a ss tomorrow, so Ill be heading back to campus first. Qiao Mu opened the door and saw that someone was standing outside the mansion. The man outside the door was tall and muscr, and Qiao Mu could feel a slight breeze as she stood in front of the door. But the breeze was a little cold, and this made Qiao Mu stop in her tracks. It was Li Yan! Qiao Mu did not expect to see him again so soon. Did he not ask her to look for him on Monday? She immediately became anxious. She lowered her head and said politely, Uncle, why are you here? Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Both of Li Yans hands were in his pockets, and there was anguid expression on his face. Im just paying you guys a visit. Why? Second Young Mistress Qiao, am I not wee here? You know for a fact that youre not wee. Why are you still shamelessly showing up here!? Qiao Mu chuckled dryly. Uncle, you must be joking. The Qiao family wees you very much. Wee my a*s. If Yu Tingyun and her daughter were not behind her, she would have closed the door and locked this devil out without hesitation! Li Yan arched an eyebrow. Oh? Is that so? She said that the Qiao family weed his presence, but it was obvious that she did not want him there! This was when Yu Tingyun walked over and said with a smile, Ah Yan, dont just stand there. There were too many people during my birthday dinner, and I didnt have the time to talk properly to you. Come in and take a seat. Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the backpack Qiao Mu was holding. Second Young Mistress Qiao, are you going somewhere? Qiao Ya walked over enthusiastically. Uncle, just ignore her. She has something to do at campus, so she has to go back there tonight. Qiao Mu stood rooted to the spot, and she had no intention of leaving. Qiao Mus entire body had tensed up the moment Li Yan showed up. She did not remember him saying that he would keep what had happened between them a secret in the morning. She took advantage of him and asked for 300,000 RMB from him. Could it be that he regretted agreeing to it and was here to reveal what had happened to her stepmother? He had more than one thing on her! The next moment, Li Yan sauntered into the mansion and said coldly, Cousin sister, I came over because I have something to tell you. Qiao Mu panicked when she heard that. Her face turned pale, and she saw that Li Yan was turning and ncing at her. She could not decipher the expression on Li Yans face, but her heart sank. She could feel that her heart was beating rapidly. She clenched her fists. She did not know what Li Yan would say to Yu Tingyun if she were to leave now. Even though she did not feel like dealing with Li Yan, she was too scared to leave just like this. This was when Qiao Ya said impatiently, Qiao Mu, arent you leaving? Why are you still standing there? Qiao Mu put down her backpack. She then turned and returned into the living room. She smiled in embarrassment. I suddenly feel really hungry. Ill have dinner at home first before leaving. The moment she said that, Yu Tingyun and Qiao Yas expressions turned dark. Meanwhile, there was a nonchnt and barely noticeable smile on Li Yans cold face. This little thing was truly the most shameless person he had ever met. The members of the Qiao family obviously did not wee her presence, but she was able to endure staying with them, and she did it like it was the most natural thing in the world. She was definitely a crafty young woman, or she would not have been able to survive peacefully in the Qiao household for more than ten years with Yu Tingyun around. Yu Tingyun raised her hand and waved at the nanny. Go to the kitchen to make some food so that the second young mistress can have an early dinner. Qiao Mu quickly cut her off. Theres no need for that. Theres a guest at home, so please dont give me special treatment. I dont mind waiting for a while. After she finished speaking, Qiao Mu walked over to the couch and sat down opposite Li Yan. She ignored Yu Tingyuns dark expression altogether. Why does she have to make her dislike toward me so obvious? Shouldnt she at least put on an act? I dont remember my stepmother being such a bad actress. Now that dad isnt around, she cant even act properly anymore. Do they really think that I want to stay here and fake a smile in front of them? Im only here because Li Yan, that troublemaker, suddenly showed up! Yu Tingyuns expression was as gentle as ever as she looked at Li Yan. Ah Yan, why dont you stay here for dinner? We can talk as we eat. Qiao Mus heart skipped a beat, and she was really hoping that Li Yan would reject the offer. If she had to eat together with these people, she was afraid that she would throw up. Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Qiao Mu fixed her gaze on the man opposite her, and she tried to show her emotions using her eyes. She gave him a pleading look, hoping that he would have mercy on her and let her off the hook. She hoped that he would leave soon, as she would feel a lot less stressed that way. However, the man opposite her ignored her altogether. He said tly in a cold and husky voice, Sure. Qiao Mus heart sank immediately. Damn it, this man is obviously deliberately making things difficult for me! .. Yu Tingyun headed to the kitchen and enthusiastically instructed the nanny to prepare a feast. Qiao Ya sat beside Li Yan and tried to get close to him. She kept calling him uncle, as if she knew him very well. Qiao Mu was sitting opposite them, and she vigntly observed Li Yans every action. All right, she had to admit that this man was tremendously handsome. His facial features were exquisite and prominent. He also emanated a cold as well as noble aura from the inside out, and every single movement of his was elegant and kingly. When Li Yan was younger, he was also so handsome that he looked like a prince from a fairytale. However, he did not use to be so manly and mature. He had also acquired a cold and indifferent aura over the years. Even though there was always a faint hint of a smile on his face, there was a perpetual iciness in his dark orbs. Hence, Qiao Mu could not help but feel anxious every time she saw him. Qiao Mu was enjoying the sight of the handsome man before him. This was when she realized that someone was looking at him, and she could barely ignore it. She raised her head and met eyes with Li Yan. His gaze was fixed on her! Qiao Mu was shocked, and she immediately lowered her head to avoid his gaze. Qiao Ya was acting so enthusiastically that her body was almost touching that of Li Yans. Qiao Mu twisted her lips. So what if hes your uncle by blood? This was when Li Yan rose. Qiao Ya suddenly stopped speaking when she saw this. She raised her head dumbfoundedly. Uncle? There was a cold expression on Li Yans face as he said, I dont like people getting too near to me. Im a germaphobe. Qiao Yas face immediately turned red. No one had ever insulted her like this! She was the eldest daughter of the Qiao household, and everyone had always doted on her. She had plenty of admirers at school, and many of her colleagues also tried to please her all the time. She did not expect her birth uncle to insult her like this. This uncle of hers had never been fond of her ever since she was young. She did not mind if an ordinary person did not like her, but Li Yan had always been an outstanding person. Moreover, he was now one of the most renowned businessmen in Beijing. The Li family was a lot more powerfulpared to the Qiao family. Of course she wanted to get close to Li Yan! Qiao Mu burst outughing, but she realized that it was not the right time to do so and stopped immediately. Uncle, my older sister isnt dirty at all! How can you think that she isnt clean? The moment Qiao Mu said this, Qiao Yas expression became even darker. Qiao Mu, you better shut up! Li Yan looked at the young womans countenance, which was arrogant and innocent at the same time, and thought about what a little fox she was. Qiao Ya often bullied her when she was a little girl. When that happened, she would sadly tell Li Yan about it. However, she was now a cunning little fox who could easily defeat Qiao Ya. Li Yan turned and left. Qiao Mu could not help but feel pleasantly surprised. Uncle, are you leaving now? Li Yan turned and said something that disappointed Qiao Mu very much. Im heading to the bathroom to wash up. Qiao Mu twisted her lips and said, relishing in her stepsisters misfortune, Uncle, my older sister isnt a germ carrier. You dont have to do this. Qiao Yas expression changed, and she red furiously at Qiao Mu. Shut up. If you dont want to stay here for dinner just leave now. Stop being an eyesore here! There was an innocent expression on Qiao Mus face. Big sister, why are you so angry? Im just helping you out! I need to go back to my room to wash up too. Ille downstairs for dinnerter. Qiao Mu talked about how hungry she was as she headed upstairs. She was feeling pleased with herself. .. Qiao Mu did not return to her room. She headed sneakily to the bathroom and when she saw that there was no one around, she dashed into the bathroom. Chapter 25 Chapter 25 In the bathroom, Li Yan was standing with his back facing the door as he did his business. When he heard footsteps ringing out from behind, his expression immediately turned cold. When he turned and saw the person who had juste, his expression was no longer icy. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of yfulness in his expression. My dear niece, did you speciallye here to find me? Dont you think that youre being a little too eager? Qiao Mu was dumbfounded. She thought that Li Yan was only here to wash his hands. When she saw what he was doing, she quickly turned away, and there was a flush on her face. Li Yan slowly buckled up his belt and flushed the toilet. He then turned on the faucet to wash his hands. His movements were elegant and natural, as if he did not mind Qiao Mus presence at all. Only then did Qiao Mu turn back to face him. Even though it could be seen from the way she moved that she was angry, there was a smile on her face. She said with sincerity, Uncle, I need to talk to you. Hm? What kind of stuff do you need to talk to me about, to the point that you need to look for me in the bathroom so stealthily? Qiao Mu pouted. Was the thing that happened between them something that could be talked about out in the open? Qiao Mu blinked herrge eyes, and she cut a pitiful sight. Uncle, you asked me to look for you on Monday. You must not go back on your words. You cannot deceive an innocent and naive teenage girl like me. Please be merciful and let me off the hook! An innocent and naive teenage girl? Li Yan smiled. This description did not fit her at all. Qiao Mu could not decipher the expression on his face, and she said with an exaggerated tone, If my stepmother finds out about what happened between us, I wont be able to survive in the Qiao family anymore. They will beat me up. You cant just watch while Im abused to death like that, can you? Oh? Will they treat you so cruelly? Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. You have no idea. My stepmother is really horrible to me. She looks gentle on the surface, but shes actually evil. She abuses me all the time! How does she abuse you? She deprives me of food and drinks! Oh, no wonder you look like an underage girl even though youre already eighteen. Puberty wasnt nice to you. As Li Yan said this, he shot a nce at Qiao Mus breasts. Qiao Mu was rendered speechless. He was the one whom puberty was not nice to, okay? He was the one who looked underage. Was it fun for him to insult her again and again? Qiao Mu suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and nodded reluctantly. Yeah, thats why I couldnt grow up well. So, please have pity on me. Li Yan rested a hand on the door behind Qiao Mu and leaned in toward her. Did I say that Im going to go back on my words? Why are you all worked up? Or are you just taking this opportunity to seduce me again? Qiao Mu pressed her back against the door and said in a hushed tone, Uncle, youre thinking too much. By the way can you stay a bit further from me? I havent showered for two days, and my body is full of germs. You wouldnt want germs on your body, would you? Li Yan did not mind at all. Instead, his smile became even wider. His eyes wandered around her body. So, you didnt shower this morning, and my scent is on your body even until now? Little thing, are you that reluctant to wash off my scent? Li Yan! Qiao Mu really could not take it anymore, and her face was bright red from his teasing. This was too much! He was such a shameless person! Li Yan wrapped an arm around Qiao Mus waist, and their bodies were pressed against each others. He said behind her ear in a husky voice, I wont shun someone who belongs to me. Qiao Mu froze. Before she could ponder about the meaning behind his words, he suddenly brought his face closer to hers. In the very next moment, he kissed her! He twirled his tongue around his mouth in a domineering and possessive manner, to the point that Qiao Mu was almost out of breath. After a while, Li Yan pped Qiao Mus a*s and let out a low chuckle. If we dont leave the bathroom now, even if I say nothing, people will find out about our affair. Affair!? How could he use this term!? He sounded like she willingly got into a sexual rtionship with him! Qiao Mu really wanted to choke this man to death. Why was he always able to infuriate her so much with his words!? Chapter 26 Chapter 26 At the dining table, Qiao Mu ate silently with her head lowered. Yu Tingyun asked, Ah Yan, didnt you say that you have something to talk to me about? What is it? Qiao Mu froze, and she raised her head to look at Li Yan without being aware of it. She was extremely nervous, and she was clutching her chopsticks so tightly that her veins were bulging. Li Yan put down his chopsticks and nced nonchntly at Qiao Mu. He then said tly, I just want to tell you that Im about to move back into the Li familys mansion. The Li familys mansion was right beside the Qiao familys mansion. After Li Yans family moved away ten years ago, the mansion had been empty. But a butler had been keeping a watch on the mansion. When Qiao Mu heard that, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that what Li Yan wanted to talk about had nothing to do with her! But he would be staying right next to the Qiao familys mansion in the future, and he would be near to Yu Tingyun. He might do things that would put her at a disadvantage at any time! Just like how things were ten years ago, he would be staying in the Li familys mansion again. But he was no longer that big brother she knew. Yu Tingyun said with a smile. Thats great. Well be neighbors again. Oh, by the way, why are uncle and aunty noting back? There was a nonchnt expression on Li Yans face, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. However, there was also a hint of coldness in his eyes at the same time. My mum doesnt feel like returning to this country, as she would have to face the sad events that had happened. As such, she wont being back anytime soon. Qiao Mu did not understand what he was talking about. What sad events had happened? However, Qiao Mu noticed that right after Li Yan said this, Yu Tingyuns expression changed a little. Her eyes dimmed, and her smile became kind of awkward. Qiao Mu immediately became curious. Yu Tingyun had always been calm andposed, and she had always been able to face everything in life with the demeanor of an elegant and powerful woman. So, why did her expression change just because of something Li Yan said? Qiao Mu was a clever person, and she could sense that there was definitely an untold truth behind this. Even though Li Yan was Yu Tingyuns cousin, the two of them did not seem to enjoy a very close rtionship. Moreover, the two families had not been in touch for ten years. Well, this suited Qiao Mu very well! After the meal, Li Yan left the Qiao familys mansion. The moment Li Yan took his leave, Qiao Mu did not want to stay in the Qiao familys mansion anymore. She grabbed her backpack and left. The sky had turned dark, and there was no one in the area around the Qiao familys mansion at all. Qiao Mu walked quickly toward the bus station. The moment Qiao Mu arrived at the station, a ck Bentley Mulsanne stopped before her. Amid the night, Li Yans wild, yful and devilishly charming face appeared in Qiao Mus field of vision. Qiao Mu could not decipher the expression on the mans face. Li Yans gaze fell upon the metro card Qiao Mu was holding, and he narrowed his dark orbs a little. My dear niece, you are after all, the second young mistress of the Qiao family. Why do you have to resort to taking public transport? Qiao Mu let out a few dry chuckles. Uncle, its not like you dont know that I like to experience things in life. The way you gain life experiences is very unique indeed. Li Yan tapped his steering wheel in a rhythmic manner with his long and slender fingers. He said in a cold and undefiable tone, Get into the car. Qiao Mu wanted to say no, but she reckoned that she should not piss him off right now because he still owed her money. She entered the car reluctantly. The car moved slowly. It was silent inside the car. The man beside Qiao Mu was focusing on the road, while Qiao Mu was looking at him with her head turned. From the side, his facial features looked even more deep-set and exquisite. It was as if this man looked perfect from every angle. He was seriously a charming devil! All of a sudden, the man, who Qiao Mu had been fixing her gaze on, turned. Their eyes met, and Qiao Mu was flustered. He arched an eyebrow. Youve been looking at me since you entered the car. Am I very handsome? What a narcissist! Qiao Mu pouted. But when she recalled that she still needed money from him, she shed a wide smile. Of course you are. Uncle, youre the most handsome man Ive ever seen! Li Yans expression did not change. From the tone of her voice, he could tell that she was trying to get something from him. Chapter 27 Chapter 27 As expected, Qiao Mu looked at him. Her eyes were sparkling as she said, Uncle, I have sses on Monday, and I wont be able to leave campus. If its possible, can you give me the money now? Just give me a cheque. I dont mind the trouble. I can go to the bank to cash in the money. Li Yans expression immediately became cold. She was really crazy about money, was she not? She never talked about anything other than money. Was she really living such a horrible life? He recalled the way Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya treated her when she was at the Qiao familys mansion. Even though the two women did not make things too obvious as he was around, he could sense their aversion for her. The Qiao familys first young mistress drove an expensive car every day, and everything she owed, from the things she ate to the things she wore, were pricey. Her outfit every day cost at least a few hundred thousand RMB. However, the Qiao familys second youngest mistress had to resort to taking the public bus every day, and she was doing everything she could just for 300,000 RMB! It was no rocket science that her life in the Qiao family was not good. But never had he expected that she was living such a horrible life. The temperature in the car dropped. Li Yan fixed his eyes on the road ahead as he said, Since you dont have time, forget about the money, then. Qiao Mu waved forcefully and shook her head like a madwoman. No. Ill just miss my sses, okay? She did not understand his logic. He would be giving her the money, anyway. So what was the difference between giving it to her today and giving it to her tomorrow? Why was he so adamant about her heading to hispany? It was silent once again in the car. Qiao Mu asked out of curiosity, Uncle, why is the age difference between you and Aunt Yun so big? My mum is a lot youngerpared to Yu Tingyuns mother. Shes only around Yu Tingyuns age. Qiao Mu nodded in understanding. The fact that Li Yan was referring to Yu Tingyun by her name was further proof to Qiao Mus spection. Are things not going well between you and Aunt Yun? Li Yan arched an eyebrow. He could see that the young womans eyes were sparkling when she asked this question. He smiled. Why, is that what youre hoping for? No! Qiao Mu chuckled. I was just thinking that if things arent going well between the two of you, you wouldnt take her side and bully me together with her. We might be on the same team! Li Yan let out a softugh. So, are you trying to ruin things between me and my cousin sister? Its just a passing remark. Im just kidding, okay? Qiao Mu fixed her gaze on the man before her. He looked even more handsome when he wasughing. Compared to the way he usually just shed half-smiles, he looked absolutely stunning right now! Li Yan asked, Do they bully you a lot? I wouldnt exactly put it that way. Aunt Yun doesnt really treat me that badly. Shes just cold towards me when my dads not around, and Im used to it. Qiao Ya is a spoiled young woman, but it doesnt really bother me either. Ive never seen myself as the Qiao familys young mistress, anyway, and I dont expect to be treated like one. Qiao Mu spoke about it in such a nonchnt manner that it was as if she did not care about the things that were happening to her at all. But it was because all of those began when she was young. Adults definitely would not be able to stay calm if they were treated that way. Qiao Mu had to ept this as a fact of life ever since she was five. Before she was eight, at least she had him. But what happened after that? No wonder she had developed such a cunning personality. In fact, she was as innocent as a nk piece of paper when she was young. Actually, this was not really true either. Li Yan tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and he pursed his thin lips. The emotions on his face could not be deciphered. After a while, he said tly, If Im not mistaken, you said an hour ago that your stepmother is abusing you, and that shes very cruel toward you. Qiao Mu froze, and she let out a dry chuckle. I was just I was just trying to appear pitiful! Her cell phone started ringing all of a sudden. Qiao Mus expression changed when she saw the caller disy, and she rejected the call right away. Right after that, her cell phone started ringing again. She rejected the call again and set her phone to silent mode. Chapter 28 Chapter 28 She raised her head and met eyes with Li Yan. Qiao Mu smiled. Its just spam calls. How annoying! Li Yan did not say anything, and Qiao Mu breathed an internal sigh of relief. Li Yan stopped the car outside the hostel building of T University. Qiao Mu got out of the car and waved at Li Yan. Uncle, Ill see you on Monday. Li Yan watched as the petite figure disappeared into the night. He then averted his gaze and switched on the ignition. His cell phone started ringing. Li Yan answered the call, and a maic male voice rang out from the other end of the line. Big brother, we are all here already. Why arent you showing up yet? Im at the south end of the city. I wont be able to head over. The person at the other end of the line sounded stunned. It takes two hours by car toe here from the south end of the city. Big brother, what are you doing there? Li Yans voice was icy. Do I need to report my schedule to you? He was the one who asked them toe out to talk about business matters, okay? But in the end, he did not show up, and he refused to offer an exnation for his absence. How absurd! .. Qiao Mu returned to her dorm and saw that Chi Xia was the only one there. Qiao Mu asked, Xia Xia, why are you alone? Wheres Yao Shu? I have no idea. She didnte back at night for the past two days. Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mu. Werent you nning to stay the night at home? Why did youe back sote at night? My father is out for a business trip. Of course Im back here. Why would I want to stay home and look at my stepmother as well as my stepsister? Mu Mu, nothing bad happened to you, right? Chi Xia was referring to Qiao Mus time at Shades of Darkness. Qiao Mu smiled. Of course not. What could have happened to me? Alright, hurry up and go to sleep! Chi Xia was exasperated, but she did not press on. To Qiao Mu, nothing was a big deal. She had faced plenty of hardships ever since she was young, and she was always able to solve them by herself. What could be too difficult for her? Qiao Mu got changed and climbed onto her bed. She then switched on her cell phone. The one who called her when she was in the car was Zhou Jieru. It was no rocket science that she was rushing her daughter for the money. Qiao Mu could not let Li Yan know that she was still in touch with her birth mother as the Qiao family did not allow it. There were four missed calls and a very long text message on her phone. Qiao Mu did not bother to read it. Her mother must be eitherining about how tough life was or insulting and using her. Qiao Mu sent a short reply. [Im trying to get the money. Theres no use rushing me.] Zhou Jieru had asked Qiao Mu for money again and again, and she was already numb to it. But Zhou Jieru was going too far this time by asking for 300,00 RMB. What if she asked for 1,000,000 RMB next time? Qiao Mu clenched her fists. She told herself that this would be herst time helping her birth mother out! .. Monday, the headquarters of LSA Group. The skyscraper that housed the headquarters of LSA Group was a majestic building, with a golden and shiny exterior. The headquarters of LSA Group was located at a bustling business district at the capital of the country, and its many subsidiary branches could be found all over the country. They were practically in control of the economy of the country, and they were a force to be reckoned with indeed. Qiao Mu only realized as she stood before the skyscraper that even though Li Yan asked her to look for him here, he did not tell her which part of the building she should go to. Before she made the trip, she even went online to read up about LSA Group. She was stunned that Li Yan was such a legendary man in the business world. Compared to LSA Group, Qiao Group was really nothing. No wonder her father addressed Li Yan as Young Master Li. Qiao Mu was standing at the majestic main hall on the ground floor in a daze when a man walked toward her. The man stood before Qiao Mu, and even though he was handsome, he was expressionless. Nice to meet you, Miss Qiao. Im Lei Yi, Young Master Lis personal assistant. The young master asked me toe and get you. Qiao Mu nodded. She thought about how Li Yan actually put quite a lot of thought into things. But why did he have to make it so troublesome? He was just giving her money, was he not? He could have just asked his personal assistant to transfer the money to her. .. On the top floor, outside Li Yans office. Lei Yi opened the door and gestured for Qiao Mu to go in. Miss Qiao, the CEO is having a meeting right now. Hell be done with it soon. Please wait in the office for a short while. Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Qiao Mu entered the office and sat down on an empty couch. The office was spacious, and there was a table and a chair in the middle of it. A ck leather couch stood not too far away from the table. On her left, was a redwood cab with bottles of expensive liquor and pricey liquor sses inside. On her right, there was a floor to ceiling window, providing the office with ample sunlight. Even though the interior of the office was simple, it was obvious that all the furniture were expensive. Qiao Mu sized up the bottles of expensive liquor that she had only seen in magazines. She then went before the floor to ceiling window and looked down. From where she was standing, the people and cars on the streets looked like ants. Li Yan was so rich and powerful, and she could not help but to think about how makingparisons was the death of joy. Even though a member of the Qiao family, she had seen quite a lot of expensive things and attended many big events, her life was absolutely horriblepared to that of Li Yans! .. The moment Li Yan entered his office, he saw that Qiao Mu was leaning against the floor to ceiling window. Her eyes were bright, and she was looking around like a curious child. She looked really funny. This reminded him of the first time he had brought her to his house. She had said with an exaggerated tone, Big brother, your house looks like a pce. Its so beautiful! It must be great to live here! He said in exasperation, Doesnt the Qiao family mansion look like this too? She shook her head and furrowed her eyebrows. Is that so? Ive never paid attention to how the mansion looks because Im always so nervous when Im inside there. At that time, Li Yan was thinking about how silly this young woman was! Qiao Mu heard the sound of the door being closed and turned abruptly. She saw that Li Yan was sizing her up as he stood before the door. He was smiling, and he seemed to be looking at her like she was a joke. As if she was being caught red-handed, Qiao Mu blushed. She immediately sped her hands behind her back. She looked like an obedient junior school student as she said, Uncle, youre back! Yeah. Li Yan sat down on the couch and waved at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu walked over to him obediently. Uncle, about the 300,000 RMB Li Yan shot her a t nce and whipped out his cell phone to make a call. Lei Yi, carry the things I asked you to prepare into my office. The money needs to be carried? Is he about to give me cash? This was when Lei Yi, along with a few other men, carried boxes of items into the office. Even though Qiao Mu had not used luxury goods before, she could recognize the logos of luxury brands that were printed on the boxes. Soon, the coffee table was covered in boxes consisting of various luxury goods. Qiao Mu was immediately dumbfounded. Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a very ominous feeling about this. Li Yan grabbed a tea cup and took a sip. He said tly, The total value of these are more than 300,000 RMB. Qiao Mu was rendered speechless, and her expression changed. Fortunately, she was a mentally strong person. She suppressed her shock and pretended to be calm as she said, Uncle, this is not money. Didnt you want money just to purchase luxury goods? Shouldnt you be ted when you see this? Qiao Mu did not know what to say. Bloody hell! Of course Im not happy! I feel like crying, okay! Qiao Mu finally realized that Li Yan had yed a prank on her! Qiao Mu suppressed her sadness and anger. Uncle, I do like luxury goods. But I really dont feel happy at all when you give them to be just like that. You know, women enjoy the feeling of going shopping and buying the things they like. The most important thing for us is to be able to choose the luxury goods we want one by one and pay for them using our credit cards. So Cant he just give me cash! What an a*shole! Before Qiao Mu could finish speaking, Li Yan nodded in understanding. He rose and went to his office table. He then opened the drawer and took out a card. Qiao Mu was ted. She felt extremely sorry for thinking of Li Yan as such a horrible person just now. As it seemed, he was not ying a prank on her! However, after Qiao Mu ran over to Li Yan like a dog wagging its tail to its owner and took the card from him, her smile froze on her face. Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Qiao Mu held the card and shook it before Li Yan. She pretended not to know what the card was about. Uncle, what is this? Li Yan smiled, and there was a nonchnt expression on her face. Even though he knew that she was acting dumb, he exined patiently, Its a shopping card for a mall selling branded goods. With it, youll be able to enjoy the feeling of buying luxury goods that you like. You can use it as much as you want to. Qiao Mu was so exasperated that she almost died when she heard what Li Yan said. But he did not notice how frustrated she was and continued, My dear niece, are you satisfied with my performance? Li Yan, youre ptanking me! Qiao Mu could not take it anymore. She tossed the shopping card onto the office table and red at him with gritted teeth. I want money. 300,000 RMB! I dont mind if you give me a cheque, cash, or transfer the money to my ount! I dont want a shopping card! You promised to give me money! This man was too much. He had gone back on his words. He deceived her intoing over and gave her a pile of branded clothes and bags as well as a shopping card. What did he take her for? Li Yans facial expression became darker and darker. He narrowed his dark orbs and crossed his hands before his chest. When had I promised you money? Qiao Mu was so pissed that she was rendered speechless! All right, now that she thought about it, it was true that he did not ask her toe over for money! Qiao Mu was so pissed that she could hardly breath. She was only able to suppress her anger after quite a long time. It would not do her any good to get into Li Yans bad books. This man was even more dangerous than what she had expected. She must not infuriate her! Qiao Mu forced a smile. Uncle, you cannot do this to me. Im already yours, but youre not even willing to give me such a small sum of money. Dont you think that this isnt befitting of a renowned and powerful man like you? Li Yan sat down in his office chair. He raised his head to look at the cunning little thing. My dear niece, youre the one who said that as long as I give you 300,000 RMB to buy luxury goods, we would be even. Qiao Mu gritted her teeth. He wanted them to be even after giving her a pile of junk? Qiao Mu made up her mind and plopped down onto Li Yans thighs. She wrapped her arms around his neck. But things are not yet even between us, are they? Li Yan was calm and expressionless as Qiao Mu did this. She looked so innocent and naive, but she was willing to go to great lengths just for what she wanted. Well, he did want to see how far she would go for money! Qiao Mu practically did not care about her reputation anymore. She lowered her standards and decided to settle for less money. Uncle, if you think that Im not worth 300,000 RMB, you can give me whatever amount you want. But you should give me something to show that you appreciate me, shouldnt you? Whatever amount she wants? Wow, she would really go to great lengths for what she wants! Li Yans gaze darkened. His profound dark orbs were tremendously icy. His expression was also very dark. Qiao Mu was shocked by his sudden change in expression. Whenever Li Yan was not smiling, he had a natural coldness and aloofness about him. And right now, his lips were downturned, and together with how icy his ck eyes were, Qiao Mu felt a chill run down his spine. Qiao Mu immediately did not dare to say anything else. She squirmed as she sat on hisp and tried to flee. Li Yan narrowed his dark orbs. He wrapped an arm around her waist and forced her to look into her eyes. Qiao Mu, Im asking you for thest time. What do you want the money for? Uncle, I I really Qiao Mu was still trying to keep her secret from him, but halfway through the sentence, she decided to swallow her words. She felt that if she continued trying to exin herself, things would end horribly for her. Li Yan smiled, but his expression was cold. He uttered a warning, Even if you dont tell me the truth, I can get someone to investigate the matter. But things would end differently if I were to find out the truth after an investigationpared to if you juste clean with me. He paused for a moment before continuing, You should understand what Im talking about. Qiao Mu trembled violently! Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Li Yan most definitely sounded like he was warning Qiao Mu; his imposing aura sent a chill down Qiao Mus spine. Qiao Mu thought that her ability to counterattack had already reached the point of perfection after all these years in the Qiao family. Regardless of how Yu Tingyun and her daughter treated her, she could always handle them with ease. She had attained such capabilities after being bullied time and time again. But she waspletely powerless when she stood before Li Yan right at that moment. His words you should understand had an endless list of interpretations! But Qiao Mu really did not want to understand! Qiao Mus heart beat furiously as she lowered her head submissively, Uncle, youre so fierce. Im scared of you. It was true that she was scared. She was not afraid of his fierce attitude, but his propensity to capitalize on her trifling transgression! It was absolutely impossible for her toe clean. If the Qiao family knew about her sights on the three hundred thousand RMB, not only would Yu Tingyun be angry, she would be facing her fathers wrath too. Her father had clearly told her before that she was not allowed to meet her mother, the woman who had sold her off before! Li Yan squinted his ck eyes and retracted the coldness in his eyes. The little thing looked nervous. It seemed like she was truly frightened by him. But if he did not give her some warning, she would never remember that she was never allowed to lie to him! The corners of Li Yans lips curved up as his expression returned to normal. Say, what do you want to do with the money? She had already said she was scared, but he was still forcing her to confess! Did he still have any conscience left in him? Qiao Mu ground her teeth and abruptly leaped off Li Yansp. Her small face waspletely flushed with anger, as if only anger could drown out the fear at the very core of her heart. She pointed at his face, Li Yan, dont go too far! What rights do you have to question me? If worsees to worst, Id rather not have the money! Li Yans expression was once again frozen over like cold ice. The curves on the corner of his mouth were still there, but the smile had turned into something terrifying. Qiao Mu could not help but tremble. She knew that she had pulled thest straw and angered him, so she must take advantage of the situation and run away! Right at this moment, someone pushed open the office door. Li Yan, that batch of goods from South Africa The man who suddenly came in choked on his words when he saw the scene in the office. In the office, Li Yansplexion was ashen from anger, and standing opposite him was a furious young woman who was pointing at his nose? God, was he hallucinating? Which woman on earth possessed the faculties to treat this man like so? Qiao Mu turned around and saw the neer staring at them dumbfoundedly. To her, he was like an angel who made his timely appearance to save her! Qiao Mu took advantage of the situation as she turned around and ran outside, Ive said what I needed to say. Goodbye! Qiao Mu took a few steps forward before she turned around and returned. She quickly picked up the shopping card on the table and waved it before Li Yan, Its a waste if I dont take this. Now were even! It was as if ayer of cold frost covered Li Yans face. He pursed his lips while he looked at that little things unyielding arrogant attitude in front of him. The next second, Qiao Mu escaped the office with all the haste she could muster. Qiao Mu only started to rx when she arrived before the elevator. God, she almost thought she was going to die in Li Yans office without a chance of leaving his office again! This man had already known that she was not getting the money to buy luxury items. He did not expose her, but he was forcing her to her wits end so she coulde clean herself! He was simply too treacherous! She actually came over happily to get the money. She was truly incredibly stupid! * The atmosphere in Li Yans office was extremely tense. The man who barged in stood stiffly with one hand on the doorknob and carefully spoke up, Big brother, we can discuss the matter on another day. Ill leave you be first Li Yan looked up, his gaze cold, Why, Ling Xi, would you want to leave, having interrupted me already? Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Ling Xi felt shivers running down his spine. Big brother was actually addressing him by full name. Every time when this happened, it meant that this man was in an extremely foul mood. Judging from the current situation, it was pretty clear. Just when Ling Xi thought that he was going to be another persons scapegoat and get the brunt of Li Yans anger, the man opposite him started to speak up in his cold voice, Just say what you need to say! Ling Xi braced himself and moved forward, Big brother, something went wrong with the goods that are transporting to South Africa. Who do you want to send over to settle the matter? Those two are both upied with their work, so Then you go! Me? Big brother, I have something urgent going on in mypany, so Im unable to leave Ling Xi attempted to plead. No one wanted to handle that sort of troublesome matter. Those two bastards, Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi found excuses and pushed this onto him. It was precisely why he was here today, to free himself of this matter! Li Yan raised his eyebrow, So, you want me to go? Of course Ling Xi did not dare nod straightaway. If big brother wanted to go personally, of course, the others would not have any other opinion! Li Yans fingers were strumming very rhythmically on the table. His voice was deep and cold when he slowly spoke, Ling Xi, I just came back to Beijing from overseas. Im not even here for a hot minute and you already want me to leave again? Perhaps youre curious to know what its like being me staying overseas for a decade! Ling Xi was terrified. Dont, big brother, Im just simply asking for your opinion. Mypany will do fine without me for a month or two, but itll really copse if Im not there for a decade. Ill head back and pack up now! Damned, he just happened toe at the wrong time. He was really too unlucky! Ling Xi was extremely curious about the identity of that brave, beautiful young woman just now. Ling Xi could not hold back his need to gossip. He coughed lightly and asked, Big brother, is that beautiful young woman from just now an employee of yourpany? When did the employee hired by LSA have such a personality? Ling Xi had just finished speaking when he noticed that Li Yans face became even colder. His expression was obviously a reminder to Ling Xi that he was being a busybody! Ling Xi stopped his curiosity very tactfully and immediately disappeared from Li Yans sight before Li Yan spoke up. Ling Xi made a phone call outside of the office, You two bastards. Come to the Brilliant Dark Night to send me off! By the way, let me tell you a huge secret thats absolutely shocking! The voice on the other end sounded unenthusiastic, Is the shocking news about you? That youre transferred overseas by big brother and not allowed toe back for a year? Lu Jingzhi, dont jinx it! What I wanted to say is, Young Master Li, who stays clear of women, has a woman by his side now! * At night, in Brilliant Dark Night, the high-end private club. When Ling Xi entered the VVIP room, Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen had already arrived. Ling Xi sat down leisurely, Seems like you still have some conscience in you. Both of you are quite enthusiastic to send me off. Lu Jingzhi smiled faintly, You assume too much. Were only here to listen to First Young Master Lis shocking news. Su Chen leaned against the couch and nced at Ling Xi, I heard that big brother has a woman by his side now? You saw it with your own eyes? Ling Xi startedughing, Both of you are really into gossip. If you want to know, then one of you should go to South Africa to handle that batch of goods for me Forget about it, were not interested. Ling Xi was rendered speechless. Right at that moment, Li Yan pushed open the door and walked in. Ling Xi was surprised, Big brother, why are you here? To send you off! Li Yan had an indifferent expression on his face, but the tone of his voice sounded like he was here to send Ling Xi to the execution ground. Ling Xis smug expression immediately disappeared. Of course he could not gossip about this mans private matters before him. Soon after, Lu Jingzhi saidnguidly, Big brother, just now Ling Xi said that you have a woman by your side now. Is that true? Ling Xi cursed silently. This bastard actually dared to use him as an excuse! Chapter 33 Chapter 33 However, Li Yans expression did not change. He sat down on the couch and took a ss of wine poured by the server. He took a slow sip, his actions doing nothing to indicate any anomalies. When the other three people thought that the question would remain unanswered, Li Yan suddenly spoke with his deep voice, Is it strange to have a woman by my side? Erm As incredulous as he sounded, it was nheless uncharacteristic for him. Was it not odd to have this man of iron self-restraint, this man who never took a second nce at women saying that he had a woman by his side now? Was this not inexorably scary? Li Yan nced at the three of them as his face clouded over, What are these expressions on your faces? The three of them immediately turned their faces aside and tried their best to recollect themselves. Su Chen gave a light cough, Its not strange at all. Sure enough, the feng shui in our country is better. You never once had a woman with you in your ten years abroad, and you now have one when youre back! Lu Jingzhi nodded, We thought that Ling Xi was bluffing. Ling Xi snorted, I never bluff! Even Ling Xi was shocked by the reply. After all, he was also uncertain about the identity of that beautiful brave young woman. He only said that Li Yan had a woman by his side to keep the other two in suspense, but surprisingly, he had hit the mark. No wonder the big brother did not have a woman around him for so many years. It turned out that he liked women with fiery tempers. That arrogant and feisty temperament indeed stood out from the masses! Li Yan lightly tapped the wine ss with his finger,ckadaisically proceeding. Alright, lets talk about business! The other three people turned serious. Su Chen started to talk first, Big brother, the news of you returning to Beijing has a huge impact in the business world. LSA Group holds huge power, and its eyeing covetously at the market now. Recently, thepanies all around, including Qiao Group and Yu Group are stirring up amotion. Yu Group? Li Yan smirked, My uncle really raised a capable woman who is doing such a great job with the family business! The corners of Lu Jingzhis lips curved into a smile, Yu Tingyun is also considered to be an extraordinary character. She is the major shareholder of both Qiao and Yu Group. In these few years, these twopanies are also slowly merging into one! Ling Xi snorted disdainfully, Regardless of how brilliant she is, she is still just a woman. She only has one daughter who joined Qiao Group not long ago. She came to discuss a coboration with Ling Group, and shes practically a bimbo! If Qiao Group and Yu Group are passed on to her, bothpanies will soon go bankrupt! Su Chen stole a nce at Li Yan before he casually said, Isnt there a second young mistress in the Qiao family? Ling Xi seemed to be thinking otherwise. Second young mistress? Oh, that illegitimate daughter? The rightful first young mistress is already a mess, how is it possible for the illegitimate daughter to gain a foothold? Its already a surprise that Yu Tingyun allowed the illegitimate daughter into the Qiao family. As for inheriting the Qiao familys assets, thats another matter entirely! As Ling Xi dove into his analysis he did not notice Li Yans expression slowly turning gloomy. On the side, Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi exchanged a nce. Both of them felt that Ling Xis bbering mouth had gotten him into trouble again. Li Yans finger was tapping against the couchs armrest and his voice was ice cold when he spoke, I said lets discuss business. Is this business? Ling Xi was at a loss. He had simply said something, why did the iceberg suddenly change his expression? Most importantly, Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi seemed like they were rejoicing in his misfortune when they stared at him, as if he had gotten himself into trouble. Soon after, Li Yan once again spoke with a nonchnt tone, Ling Xi, since youre so bored and fond of gossiping about the family affairs of others, you can handle those few batches of goods in Africa before you return. He had once again addressed Ling Xi by his full name! Ling Xi was stunned, Big brother, Im sorry! This punishment was far too severe! Chapter 34 Chapter 34 At that very moment, someone pushed the door open. A sexily dressed woman stood at the entrance. She looked into the room and made a show of saying, Im sorry, I entered the wrong room. But this woman then acted to the contrary of her words. She took a step forward and said with a smile on her face, Ah, its the young masters. Im really sorry for bothering you. Im the daughter of Huang Group, and Ive once met all of you at a dinner party. May I The woman had a knowing smirk it was obvious that she had not entered this room by mistake. The men who were sitting here were all famous young masters in Beijing. Regardless of their identities and statuses, or their family backgrounds, they were all part of the Beijing elite. With much difficulty, she got news that these young masters were gathering at Brilliant Dark Night tonight. Of course she would not let this opportunity slip. The atmosphere in the room had just only plummeted because of Li Yans change of attitude and the blow that Ling Xi received. Ling Xi was aze with anger when he put down the wine ss and nced at the woman. He snapped, Do you have a death wish? The woman was left speechless. The woman was shocked, but she still braced herself to take a step forward. Ling Xis expression immediately changed, and he startedughing evilly, Do you believe that if you take another step forward, you will never walk again? Right at that moment, a bodyguard rushed in and dragged the woman away, I wascent. Ill take the punishment, young master. Ling Xi waved, If theres a next time, youll lose your job! Ling Xi only looked at Li Yan with a smile after the annoying woman disappeared, Big brother, you were joking just now, right? Li Yan nced at him before he stood up and walked out, Watch your mouth in the future. Im leaving. Ling Xi let out a sigh of relief. Li Yan had just left when Ling Xi furrowed his brows in confusion. He looked at Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen, Whats the matter? Why was big brother so angry? Didnt I just make a fewments on the Qiao familys matters? Although his cousin and niece belong to the Qiao family, I dont think hell get angry on their behalf. Lu Jingzhi raised his eyebrow and kindly reminded him, You didnt only mention both of them, you also mentioned the Qiao familys second young mistress. Whats wrong with that bastard girl? Su Chen had a mysterious look on his face, I advise you to not use the term bastard girl in the future. Otherwise, you wont even realize it after getting yourself knee-deep in shit. Ling Xi was at a loss. Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen seemed like they had left him out of a certain loop, and it made him extremely furious. It was not strange for Ling Xi to know so little. Ling Xi was the youngest among the four of them, but he was the earliest one who went abroad. Ling Xi went abroad three years earlier than Li Yan, and it was within those three years when a second young mistress appeared in the Qiao family. Although the Li family was rted to the Qiao family, the rtionship between the two families was not like how it was on the surface. Li Yan had always acted indifferent toward the Qiao family members, but Qiao Mu was the only exception. Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen had never seen Li Yan being so kind to a person. Li Yan would order Lu Jingzhi to buy a lot of lollipops from a specialty store just because the second young mistress of the Qiao family ate a lollipop. At that time, Li Yan had given Lu Jingzhi a bad headache. Lu Jingzhi wondered why the First Young Master Li was a pedophile. Why did he only set his heart on a ten year old child instead of any other human being?! But thankfully, that phase only went on for three years. After that, Li Yan went abroad and he was upied with his career and the expansion of thepanys influence overseas. So he no longer kept in contact with Qiao Mu. At that time, Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen felt that Li Yan was just a quick fling, and Qiao Mu was nothing special. Just now, Su Chen mentioned the second young mistress of the Qiao family on purpose to see Li Yans response. But his response had been most surprising. Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Qiao Mu was dejected when she returned to school. She had departed with?her heart filled with hope in the morning. She had initially thought that everything would go smoothly. Being in a most unttering position was not the conclusion she had in mind. The cell phone started ringing. Qiao Mus brows furrowed together when she saw the iing call. She hesitated for a moment before she answered the call. She really could not afford the money she did not even have three thousand RMB on her now, let alone three hundred thousand RMB. Qiao Mu wanted to make it clear to Zhou Jieru. The call had just connected when a hysterical voice screeched into her ear. You wicked girl, it has been so many days now. Where is the money? Are you messing with me? Youre asking me to wait for death if you dont give me money! How is it this difficult for you to give me some money? Isnt this just an easy task for you? Are you deliberately being unfilial to your mother?! Qiao Mu bit her lip and her fingers tightened around the cell phone, Ive already done my best. Im unable to give you three hundred thousand RMB. Its only three hundred thousand RMB. Why are you being so stingy? I saw on the newspapers that Qiao Group had just sealed a business worth a few million RMB a few days ago. Youre really bing more and more unfilial now. Did you use all the money that Qiao Jiannan gave you to buy those luxury items? You shouldnt be so materialistic as a young woman. Think about me, your mother, who you need to support! Zhou Jieru sounded unkind, as if she was a creditor demanding for debt money. She was upsetting Qiao Mu with her every word. Qiao Mu thought she had a very strong mental capacity, but she could not bear the pain of such a verbal assault from her own birth mother. Although Qiao Ya also always provoked Qiao Mu with various scornful words at home, Qiao Mu bore it quietly. However, this was unbearable. That woman on the other end of the phone was not a stranger, but her birth mother! Qiao Mu had a lot of things she wanted to say to refute this woman, but what was the point of it? This woman had always assumed that she was rich, and her retort would be regarded as ying self-pity! When Zhou Jieru did not get Qiao Mus answer, she continued to say impatiently, Why do you stop talking? Did I get it right? The loan shark has given me a few more days. You better quickly think of an idea, just give me one or two hundred thousand RMB for emergency purposes. Otherwise, youll have to collect my dead body! Zhou Jieru said that and directly hung up the phone. Qiao Musplexion turned pale. Zhou Jieru firmly believed that Qiao Mu would care about her, that was why she acted this way. In Qiao Mus memory, she had received very little maternal love, which was why she was unwilling to let go. Actually, Zhou Jieru was not this outrageous in the past. When Qiao Mu was still in high school, Zhou Jieru had already gotten in touch with her. At that time, Zhou Jieru had restrained herself. She would care a little about Qiao Mus life and study. Slowly afterwards, Zhou Jieru started to mention money. She would describe herself as pitiful, and Qiao Mu would give her money that she saved from her living expenses out of pity. In the recent year, Zhou Jieru started to be greedier. It started with a few thousand RMB, racking all the up to the three hundred thousand RMB now! Qiao Mus heart was throbbing in pain. Suddenly, someone interrupted her from behind, Qiao Mu? Qiao Mu turned around and saw Han Su standing behind her. Han Su raised an eyebrow as he stared at her, Why do you look like youre going through a break up? Qiao Mu hid her emotions and smiled with difficulty, Senior, how am I going through a breakup when you didnt dump me? Han Suughed, and his handsome face was extremely mboyant, Youre still able to joke, that means youre fine. By the way,st time at Shades of Darkness, I thought you were drunk and simply left with someone else, so I told Li Yan that Im your boyfriend. Did I cause you any trouble afterwards? Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Qiao Mu was stunned. Li Yan had not mentioned that to her. He was not her uncle, surely he was not interested in her matters, right? Qiao Mu lowered her gaze and smiled nonchntly, My family members have already lectured me. Thank you, senior,?for your help at the time! The two of them were chatting when Yao Shu ran over, What boyfriend? Mu Mu, senior, what are you two talking about? Both of you look so happy! Han Su nced at Yao Shu and then asked Qiao Mu, Is this your ssmate? Qiao Mu nodded, Senior, shes Yao Shu, Yao Shu was rtively reserved, so Qiao Mu thought that she knew Han Su when she nonchntly interrupted their conversation. Yao Shu was very puzzled when she asked, Senior, why does your voice sound a little different? Whats wrong with your throat? Han Su was confused, Im sorry I dont understand what youre saying. Yao Shu smiled as she gestured with her hand, Its alright. Senior, dont be so cold! Han Su shifted his gaze away from Yao Shu. He bade goodbye to Qiao Mu before he left. Yao Shu watched Han Su leave, her gaze was somewhat filled with disappointment. She then dragged Qiao Mu back to the dorm, and all she talked about was Han Su. Qiao Mu felt there was something wrong with Yao Shu. Qiao Mu would have thought that Yao Shu liked Han Su if Qiao Mu did not know that Yao Shu was already in a rtionship, and that her boyfriend could not be Han Su. Mu Mu, you seem like youre really in need of money recently. Do you need me to lend you some? Yao Shu asked. Its alright. I can still handle it. Qiao Mu did not like to be in the debt of another. She could not just go around and borrow money. Yao Shu was different from Chi Xia. She did not know this woman well enough tofortably discuss financial matters with her. .. Chi Xia was talking on the phone when Qiao Mu returned to the dorm. Chi Xia only hung up her phone after a while. Qiao Mu teased, You cant seem to stop smiling after you made an overseas call to Gu Cheng. Chi Xia rolled her eyes at Qiao Mu, Were maintaining a long-distance rtionship now. Its so hard to even make a phone call, and youre still teasing me! Gu Cheng was Chi Xias boyfriend, and he was currently studying abroad. The two of them got together back in high school. Qiao Mu had witnessed the start of their rtionship of course she knew how strong their rtionship was. After that, Gu Cheng did not attend local university, but chose to study abroad. When Chi Xia learned about his decision, she had not made a scene over it. Although she was really reluctant to part with him, she did not hold him back. At that time, Chi Xia had said very calmly, Just leave, Ill wait for you. If we break up midway, it only means that our loves not strong enough! If were still in love when you return, lets just directly get married! Chi Xia was really calm and pragmatic sometimes. Her rational treatment of her romance was further evidence. Qiao Mu did not know if four years time would change both of them she only knew that the rtionship between Li Yan and her had changedpletely after ten years. Big brother Once, someone had treated her as treasure. But that was in the past. Qiao Mu remembered when she was younger, Qiao Ya would alwayspare and fight over everything with her, including Li Yans presence. At that time, Qiao Mu was extremely close with Li Yan. She always trailed behind Li Yan, but Li Yan who was always cold and aloof did not reject her. Qiao Ya had been jealous and barked at Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu, you better dont think hes your biological uncle. Remember, youre just an outsider! Hes my biological uncle! In the face of Qiao Yas anger, Qiao Mu only shed an innocent smile. I know hes not my uncle, hes my big brother. Then Qiao Ya wouldin angrily to Li Yan, Uncle, look at Qiao Mu! Her skins thicker than a tree bark! Its so annoying that shes always bothering you! But Li Yan replied disapprovingly, Just dont stare at her if you think shes annoying. Qiao Ya, youre always bullying your own younger sister. Dont you think that youre being silly? Qiao Ya ran away crying, while Qiao Muughed happily. Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Qiao Mu came back to her senses when Chi Xia nudged her arm. Chi Xia red at her, What are you thinking? What did you do when you headed out today? Did you even attempt to think of a solution about the money? Qiao Mu shook her head, Ive already tried my best. Lets forget about it, Im not going to make things difficult for myself any longer. Chi Xia looked at her and said nothing. .. The next morning. Qiao Mu was just about to go to work when Chi Xia passed a bank card to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu was puzzled when she asked, Xia Xia, whats this for? Theres eighty thousand RMB in this card. Gu Cheng asked me to pass this to you. Hes also tight in his fundings because hes still tied up with his investment overseas, but he can manage a couple dozen thousand RMB for you. Just take the money to handle your emergency. Chi Xia smiled. Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock, You asked for money from Gu Cheng because of me? No, I cant take this money. Quickly return the money to him! Chi Xia ced the card into Qiao Mus palm, Just take it. I borrowed this from him, its not like Im not paying him back. Besides, Im his future wife. He wont fight me over this small amount. Alright, I know you feel bad if you dont care about that person. Quickly hand this money to her then. Qiao Mu felt a huge lump in her throat as she hugged Chi Xia, Xia Xia, youre really the best. Youre so selfless that I almost think that Im your true love instead of him. Chi Xia fiercely rolled her eyes at Qiao Mu and pushed her aside, What selfless act? This loanes with an interest. Even if you have to prostitute yourself, youll still have to pay me back in the future! Qiao Mu gripped the card in her palm, feeling upset. Chi Xia had already given her fifty thousand RMBst time. She could never fully repay this friend in her lifetime. Qiao Mu ced the card into her bag and unintentionally saw the shopping card she had gotten from Li Yan. Her eyes were bright as she stared at Chi Xia, Xia Xia, let me pay you the interest in advance! .. That morning, Qiao Mu went to the bank to transfer the money to Zhoue Jieru. One notificationter, Zhou Jieru replied that the amount was rathercking, but the money could stillst her for a while. After that, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia had lunch outside campus before dropping by a shopping mall that sold luxury goods. The shopping mall was infamous for a reason. Any item sold here cost at least five figures. Any random fabric that could be called clothing could cost a few dozen thousand RMB, and it was very normal for a jacket to be priced a couple hundred thousand RMB. Chi Xia stared at that shopping card and could not believe her eyes, Mu Mu, say it again. Where did you get this card from? Qiao Mu replied, My uncle gave this to me. Uncle? Your stepmothers younger brother? Why did he want to give you such an expensive shopping card? Dont tell me that old man is into you? Ahem Old man? Was Li Yan old? Although he was older than her by ten years, he could still be considered young, right? Qiao Mu said helplessly, Youre thinking too much. Anyway, just choose a gift! Im paying the interest in advance! Interest? Chi Xia was left speechless. Any single item around here could already clear Qiao Mus debt. Mu Mu, since your uncle is so rich, wouldnt your troubles be solved in no time if he simply gave you some money? My uncles not a generous person. This card was given to him by someone else. Its free, thats why he gave it to me. Chi Xia also stopped asking her questions. It was a rare opportunity for her to shop in arge shopping mall. The two of them strolled on all floors until finally Chi Xia found herself drawn to a backpack. The price was forty-nine thousand RMB. Chi Xia nced at Qiao Mu in uncertainty, Is this really just the interest? If I want this bag, you wont use this as an excuse to not return the money to me, right? Can you be more dignified? Wheres the generosity you had when you lent me the money? Chi Xia clenched her teeth and made her decision, Alright, I want it! After that, Qiao Mu swiped the card to pay the bill. Chapter 38 Chapter 38 At the same time, Li Yans cell phone vibrated as he was resting with his eyes closed in the car. He pulled out his cell phone and saw a transactional text message. His cold eyes narrowed as he said, Go to the luxury mall. Did that little thing believe that her audacity would go unpunished after her dramatic exit? .. Qiao Mu and Chi Xia were chatting as they walked out of the mall when Qiao Mu caught sight of a woman carrying many shopping bags. Qiao Mu froze in her tracks. Chi Xia was puzzled when she followed Qiao Mu gaze and saw a middle-aged woman who was holding multiple shopping bags, each filled with luxury goods. She was walking out of the mall with a smug look on her face. The woman wore delicate makeup but her clothes seemed outdated. However, her amazing figure despite her age produced a rather impressive presence. Chi Xia was stunned. She had seen this woman before because Zhou Jieru had once went to university to look for Qiao Mu. That was right, this woman was Zhou Jieru! Qiao Mus face gradually turned pale when she saw Zhou Jieru, and she was shocked when she saw the shopping bags in Zhou Jierus hands. The anger in her eyes slowly broke loose, and before the other person could notice her, she rushed forward and grabbed the womans wrist. Mother, why are you here?! Zhou Jieru was lowering her head to admire the results of her shopping when Qiao Mu suddenly appeared before her. Her expression froze while she hid the shopping bags behind her and smiled, Mu Mu, what a coincidence. Qiao Mu hauled the shopping bags over and questioned her, What are these? Where did you get the money to buy these? Be gentle! Dont pull my bags apart! Zhou Jieru immediately protected her shopping bags and red at Qiao Mu, Whats your attitude after seeing your mother after a long time? Youre bing more and more rude! Qiao Mus face was cold, Im asking you, where did you get the money to buy these?! Zhou Jieru smiled dismissively, Didnt you transfer some money to me today? So youre saying that the gambling debts are all lies? Im truly in debt, but recently my luck at gambling is good, so I earn back some money. Im not in a rush to pay back the rest of my debt. I just want to use the eighty thousand RMB that my daughter gave me to enjoy my life. Life is good when youre rich! Zhou Jieru was feeling pleased with herself. She did not show any hint of guilt when she faced Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu waspletely appalled! She had done everything she could possibly do, and she even threw away her dignity before Li Yan for money. For all that trouble, this truth was her only reward. She never even suspected Zhou Jieru was lying to her! Qiao Mu snatched the shopping bags from Zhou Jieru, Return all of these! Return these? Ive already bought it! Are you crazy? Qiao Mu, you cant stand the thought of your mother having a good life, right? You cane to the shopping mall and shop but I cant, right? Didnt I just use a little of your money? You really have no conscience! Qiao Mu felt as if she was suffocated. She took a deep breath but she still could not suppress the sorrow she felt within her. Chi Xia took a step forward and said angrily, Aunty, do you think what you said is reasonable? Qiao Mus your daughter, not your ATM! Its because shes my daughter, thats why its right for me to spend her money! You Chi Xia gritted her teeth in anger. How could there be such a mother in this world?! Just as she was about to say something, she noticed a tall figure walking toward them. Its quite lively here. The cold voice said. Qiao Mu raised her head abruptly, and herplexion turned paler when she saw the neer. Chapter 39 Chapter 39 All of the anger Qiao Mu had toward Zhou Jieru immediately turned into fear and horror when she saw Li Yan. Why was this man always showing up at the wrong time?! Qiao Mu did not know if he had heard their conversation just now. Right now, his gaze was sizing Qiao Mu up, making her terribly uneasy. Qiao Mu was already unable to deal with Zhou Jieru regarding the money. She took a step forward to get closer to Li Yan, Uncle, why are you here? What a coincidence! Uncle? Chi Xia was stunned. This was the uncle that Qiao Mu always talked about? God, the handsome man standing before them was actually so young! Li Yan raised his eyebrows nonchntly, Im just passing by, but it seems like Ivee across a good show. Zhou Jieru was not dumb. When she heard Qiao Mu address this man as her uncle, she immediately drew the connection to the Qiao family. Back then, Zhou Jieru had personally promised Qiao Jiannan that she would not meet Qiao Mu. She could not let the Qiao family know that she was in contact with Qiao Mu. Whos this? Li Yan nced indifferently at Zhou Jieru. Without waiting for Qiao Mu to speak up, Zhou Jieru straightaway said, I was just passing by, and these two youngdies had a little misunderstanding. Nothing serious, really. Dont let me get in your way. Qiao Mu was utterly disappointed. Her own birth mother just told others that she was just a passerby. Qiao Mus attitude toward Li Yan became cold and indifferent after Zhou Jieru left, Uncle, Ill leave first if theres nothing important. Get in the car! Li Yan said coldly. Qiao Mu took a step back, Im going back to campus with my ssmate. Do you need me to drag you to the car? Qiao Mu was left speechless. .. Qiao Mu remained silent in the car. She could not suppress her nervousness when the man was sitting so close beside her. She did not know if Li Yan had heard the conversion between Zhou Jieru and her just now. She could not tell anything at all from his emotionless eyes. Li Yan turned around to look at the figure that was sitting upright as the corners of his lips turned downward, My dear niece, are you afraid of me? No! Qiao Mu pretended to be calm as she shook her head. Youre not afraid? You left my office so arrogantlyst time, and youre actually not even a little bit afraid of me? You really have guts, huh! Qiao Mus expression changed abruptly as she started tough dryly, Uncle, I that time, it just happened that I was having mood swings. You know right, womens problems! Oh, I see. Li Yan nodded. Then was the conflict you had on the street because of your mood swings? That was Qiao Mu bit her lip and she did not know how to continue. She did not want to lie, and she did not want to call her birth mother a stranger. But she also did not want to let him know that that person was her birth mother. Li Yan lowered his gaze. Her ck yet bright eyes were flickering. Her lost expression seemed heartbreaking. Actually, Li Yan had already overheard the conversation when Li Yan walked over. That woman said Qiao Mu was her daughter, and it was right for her to spend Qiao Mus money. Some things instantly made sense to him. This witty little thing had always handled matters in the Qiao family with ease, and even Yu Tingyun and her daughter could not make things difficult for her. But she was going through so much for the birth mother who had once sold her off. At that moment, Li Yans disposition took a turn for the worst! Just when Qiao Mu was racking her brains to think of a solution, Li Yan suddenly changed the topic, Are you happy when youre using my card to shop? Where are the things youve bought? Qiao Mu let out a sigh of relief. When he mentioned the shopping card, Qiao Mu took the card out of the bag and passed it to Li Yan, I just bought a bag for my friend. Ill return the card to you now. Li Yans expression turned slightly colder, You took away my card so arrogantly that day, but youre returning it so meekly now? Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Qiao Mu could sense his annoyance. She blinked her big eyes and her expression was deadpan. Uncle, I was really impolite that day. Please dont be angry with me. I took some time to reflect after that. I promised Ill control my own mood swings in the future! Also, I dont want the money anymore. I dont want the luxury items either. I feel that young women shouldnt seek wealth, so Qiao Mu was somewhat nervous when she gulped, Uncle, can we just write off what happened between us? Write it off? Li Yan smiled nonchntly, How do you want to write it off? Are you going to suffer what Ive experienced, or are you going to lose what Ive lost? Qiao Mu asked subconsciously, What did you suffer and lose? She had politely expressed her kindness to him, but he did not buy that at all, and was now mentioning losses?! LI Yan smiled as he contemted, Does losing your virginity count? Losing her virginity? Ahem!! Qiao Mu red at Li Yan with her face flushed with embarrassment, Uncle, you cant joke about something like this! Its not funny at all. Do you think I look like Im joking? Im always very serious regarding my innocence! Qiao Mu was left speechless. Could he be any more shameless? Li Yan was very satisfied when he saw that the little thing was rendered speechless. He reached out to touch her face as he took the opportunity to take advantage of her, So just be good, dont try to write this off. What facy! Qiao Mu was extremely unconvinced. His innocence was important, but what about hers? She gritted her teeth when she suddenly smiled slyly, Uncle, is it really your first time? Yes. Wow, uncle. Youre so amazing. Youre still a virgin when youre 28, how do you manage to do that? Are you not interested in women? Or do you have any hidden diseases? Qiao Mu appeared really expressive and her tone of voice was melodramatic. Shepletely described Li Yan like he was an alien. Lei Yi, who was driving, tried hard to hold back hisughter. It was the first time anyone dared to make fun of the young master in such an imprudent manner. Lei Yi silently put on his earphones so he would no longer be party to such shocking conversation. Li Yans expression immediately darkened. This little thing wasughing rampantly. In just a short amount of time, her dispirited expression just took a 180! Li Yan smiled and reached out to grab Qiao Mus waist. He leaned in and Qiao Mu attempted to move away, but the space in the car was so small. Where could she possibly go? The face before her slowly inched toward her until it was very close to her. Qiao Mu could sense the heat radiating from his body, and she squirmed in difort. Immediately after, he spoke with his deep and maic voice, My dear niece, it seems like youll know better than anyone else on whether I have any diseases. Why? Do you want to verify again? Qiao Mus face was extremely red when she forcefully shook her head. Uncle, I was just joking. Dont be so serious! Her cheeks were extremely red and her big eyes appeared watery. She appeared extremely adorable that way. Li Yan squinted. The ck of his eyes grew deeper than ever. My dear niece, are you seducing me on purpose? Qiao Mu was at a loss of words. Qiao Mu lightly pushed Li Yan away as she gave a light cough. She stared in deadly earnest at him, Uncle, youre thinking too much. Although youre not my biological uncle, but ording to the rules, you are my uncle. If we continue like this, its nice that. Qiao Mu very tactfully held the word back. Li Yans expression darkened and his eyes were glinting coldly but his tone of voice sounded like he was relishing his words. Oh? My dear niece, it sounds like youre into the role y of a certain nature. Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Qiao Mu was speechless and her face waspletely twisted in shock. What more could she say? What else could she say?! Why could this man easily render her speechless with a single sentence regardless of her best lines?! Growing up in the Qiao family had sharpened Qiao Mus tongue. When she was encountering Yu Tingyun and her daughter, she could always gain the upperhand with little effort, especially when Qiao Ya tried to use words to attack her. In the end, Qiao Ya was always the one who suffered, and she was always the one who seeded! But, her advantage waspletely destroyed by the man before her. This was simply too embarrassing! As expected, Yu Tingyun and her daughter were not on the same level as this man! Qiao Mu felt that she was too embarrassed when she choked on her words because of him. She was thinking about speaking up to restore some of her dignity, Uncle However, Li Yan did not give Qiao Mu a chance to retort. He straightaway carried her onto hisp, and pulled her petite body into his embrace. He lowered his head to look at her, and her reflection was reflected in his eyes. With his thin lips, he said with a firm voice, Qiao Mu, it seems like I need to remind you that once you be my woman, you cant even think about other thoughts! Even if its really incest, you still belong to me till the end! Qiao Mu was at a loss of words. Damn it! What a pervert! Qiao Mu had only called him her uncle just to disarm him, but he was actually taking this seriously! His woman When did she be his woman? The mans gaze fixed intently on Qiao Mus face and it immediately made Qiao Mu nervous. His expression was dead serious. It seemed like he would kill her if she said no. Qiao Mu withdrew herself as she nodded timidly. She did not have the rights to shake her head at all! Li Yan was very satisfied with her behavior as his finger trailed along the bridge of her nose, Be good. This action Qiao Mu felt as if something was tugging on her heartstrings, and it was a feeling that she could not put into words. She almost said big brother aloud, but when she noticed the mans expression, the two words were stuck in her throat. Qiao Mu was flustered when she climbed out of Li Yans embrace. She was well-behaved when she sat aside, and her heart mysteriously sped up. When she was younger, Li Yan often ran his finger down the bridge of her nose, and she especially liked his touch because he would never treat anyone else the same way. At that time, although the big brothers expression was cold, his eyes were so warm and gentle. But the expression of the man before her right now was so cold that all other semnce of warmth had been cast out. Qiao Mus action made Li Yans expression turn even colder. He had only touched her, why was she frightened enough to flee from him now? She was so nervous, as if he would really have her for dinner. Was he really that scary? Where did that naive, clueless, and socially inept young girl go? Back then, it had been nearly impossible to scare her off she clung to him like an eel. Li Yan pursed his lips together. He really did not like to be pushed away by her! In order to ease her nervousness, Qiao Mus gaze shifted to the scenery outside of the car window, but she was shocked by the view. Uncle, why did you bring me home? The car already drove into the mansion area, and the Qiao familys mansion was right in front of them. Li Yan nced indifferently at Qiao Mus nervous expression as he raised his brows, They wont kill you, dont worry. Qiao Mu grabbed Li Yans hand, We cant let them know that we have such a close rtionship. Quickly stop the car, Ill get down from here. However, the car was still driving smoothly without listening to Qiao Mus instruction at all. The Qiao familys entrance was just before her eyes, but the car did not drive in. Qiao Mu was stunned, and then she saw the car drive into Li familys mansion! Chapter 42 Chapter 42 The owner of Li familys mansion had not returned in ten years, but everything in the mansion had been well-maintained. Li familys mansion was just next to Qiao familys mansion, but Qiao Mu had never entered Li familys mansion within these ten years. Qiao Mu looked at the mansionpound from the car, and every part of the mansion seemed so familiar to her. This mansion was once her happy ce. Get out. Li Yan interrupted Qiao Mus train of thought. Qiao Mu was puzzled as she raised her head, Uncle, why do you bring me to your house? If the neighbors see us, they will misunderstand! Indecent thoughts will be the first thing theylle up with! When are we not doing something indecent? Li Yans tone of voice sounded matter-of-factly. Qiao Mu was left speechless. Alright, there was indeed something indecent going on between them! Although the Li family and Qiao family were neighbors, their mansions were enclosed so no one could see anything in the mansions from the outside. But Qiao Mu still had lingering fears. After she got out of the car, she sneakily dashed into the mansion without waiting for Li Yan. Li Yan could not help but smile. He really could not do anything to this little thing. Qiao Mu finally let out a breath of relief after she entered the mansion. She rested her body against the ss door as she looked out from the inside. She watched as Li Yan walked over with steady steps. The slight twinkle in his eyes appeared as if he was mocking her mouselike timidity. He was tantlyughing at her! Second Young Mistress Qiao? Someone suddenly called out to her. Qiao Mu turned around abruptly and saw a man in his fifties or sixties was smiling at her. Are you Uncle Chen? Uncle Chen was the butler of the Li family. Qiao Mu had met him when she was younger. The butler nodded, Second Young Mistress Qiao, I knew its really you. Our young master had returned from overseas, so Second Young Mistress Qiao would definitelye over to pester the young master so he would y with you. Youre exactly like this when youre younger. Qiao Mus expression was somewhat unnatural. Pestered Li Yan? He was obviously willing to y with her, alright? At that moment, Li Yan entered the mansion and nced indifferently at the butler, Uncle Chen, ask the kitchen staff to prepare our dinner. The butler answered yes and then went to the kitchen. Qiao Mu was a lot more rxed after she entered thepound and wandered around in the huge living room. The Li familys mansion was a lot bigger than the Qiao familys mansion. Although the huge house felt somewhat empty, she still felt morefortable than she was in the Qiao familys mansion. Qiao Mu went up to the second floor and stopped before Li Yans bedroom before she pushed the door open to enter the room. All of the bedrooms furnishings were in ck and blue without any hint of warmth, and it gave off the same cold and indifferent vibes as Li Yan. Qiao Mu looked out from the balcony and she could see her bedroom in the Qiao familys mansion. When she was younger, she would always observe him from her bedroom. There was once when she happened to see him changing, and she called him happily to praise him, Big brother, you have an amazing figure! Ever since then, Li Yan would draw the curtains when he returned to his bedroom, and she no longer sessfully peeped into his bedroom again. She actually had so many memories just within the short period of three years. But Li Yans return this time would cause her a series of obstacles. She was barely coping with Yu Tingyun and her daughter, and she would definitely be pressured if Li Yan chose their side. Qiao Mu was lost in her thoughts so she did not hear the footsteps behind her. When she came back to her senses, an arm wrapped around her waist before she could turn around. Her body immediately fell into a?strong embrace. Her heart started to beat faster when she smelled the familiar mint. A low yet hoarse voice started speaking above her head, Little thing, what shameful thoughts are you having in my bedroom? Qiao Mu turned around and grinned, Im thinking whether you would help others bully me? Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Others? Qiao Mu, shes my cousin. What about you? Who are you to me? Li Yan lowered his head to look at the little thing, trying to read her mind again. Qiao Mu lowered her gaze. He was right. She was the outsider to him! She raised her head to look at him as she wrapped her arms around his neck with a smile, Didnt uncle just say that Im already your woman? By thisparison, am I not a little closer to you? She was throwing caution to the wind! It was obvious that the young woman was purposely pleasing him from her expression. Li Yan narrowed his ck eyes and a sudden hint of anger appeared in his eyes. He grabbed her waist and smiled coldly, You cant just say that youre my woman. Qiao Mu was stunned as she bit her lip, Uncle, then what reason do you have to not gang up on me with the others? Li Yans lips curved into a ridiculing smile and his expression was cold. She had racked her brains to prevent him from exposing her conducts ever since she saw him again. She never ever thought that he could protect her when she encountered troubles! She treated Yu Tingyun and her daughter with caution, like they were her enemies. She now treated him the same. His deep ck eyes darkened, and the arm wrapped around her waist suddenly propped her up. He then turned around and ced her onto the huge bed. His tall figure immediately pressed against her body, I will definitely protect you if you be my woman! Qiao Mus heart started to beat faster and she was somewhat panicking now, But weve already Is once enough? Qiao Mu bit her lip and her eyes showed that she was feeling hurt, I knew it, you just want to bully me with them! The anger in Li Yans eyes slowly disappeared after hearing what she said. He squinted his eyes, Qiao Mu, remember, Im the only person who can bully you! A hint of shock shed across Qiao Mus eyes, Li Yan, you The rest of her words were swallowed by the man who pounced on her. Qiao Mu widened her eyes but Li Yan did not give her any time to react before he deepened the kiss. The overbearing yet feverish male scent overwhelmed her senses. Qiao Mu only felt her breathing quicken. She was so stunned that she lost the ability to react. She actually forgot to adjust her breathing because she was too nervous. Her face was red because she was somewhat out of breath. Li Yan was very unsatisfied with her performance. He opened his mouth to bite her lip and she yelped in pain. Only then, she started to breathe normally. Then, the man took the opportunity to pry her unguarded mouth open and his tongue entered her mouth directly without any resistance. Qiao Mu let out a moan as her brain went nk. Finally, she realized her current situation. Qiao Mu began to resist his advances, but his fervent lips and tongue would not let her go, and she was overwhelmed in an instance. The man had no intention of letting her go. Qiao Mu was somewhat scared now. After all, thest time was an intoxicated mistake, but she was sober this time. Her mind was telling her she could not continue this muddled mess with him. Li Yan discovered that his body was easily turned on by this little thing, and he was acting somewhat out of control. He felt that Qiao Mu was extremely docile. But when Li Yan looked up, he realized that the young womans body was trembling nervously. She was biting her lip, and her eyes werepletely filled with timidity. He stopped in his action as his brows furrowed together. She was actually not resisting him at all even though she was this frightened and nervous? In a split second, Li Yans anger bubbled up in him as he sneered, Why? Are you afraid? I Uncle Qiao Mu was somewhat stuttering out of nervousness. She only acted so unrestrainedst time because she was under the influence of drugs and alcohol, to the extent that she could not recall the process at all. But this time was different. This time she waspletely clear-headed. That was why she was at aplete loss when she faced his sudden advances. He could sense her nervousness, Li Yan was angry when he saw her repulsion toward him. He leaned over to look at her, Just persevere to the end since you want to seduce me. Dont pretend to please me if you cant do it! After saying that, he got up and left the bedroom in huge strides. Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Qiao Mu bit her lips as her whole body went limp with relief. But the nervousness still lingered in her heart. His words had been filled with ridicule and disdain. She clenched her fists, feeling extremely upset. He had beenpletely unaware of her life in the Qiao family all these years. He had once given her three years of happiness, but she had been standing on her own feet for the following ten years. With the Qiao Family, she could not afford a single misstep. Why was he treating her like this when he only had this much leverage? .. Dinner was ready by the time Qiao Mu went downstairs. The butler saw her and said with a smile, Second Young Mistress Qiao,e and have dinner. The young masters waiting for you. Uncle Chen, I wont be eating here. Ill make a move first. Qiao Mu hung her head low as she headed for the entryway. He probably did not wish to see her after being so angry just now. However, before the butler could speak up, a deep voice could be heard from the dining room, Come and eat! Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks and felt extremely resentful. But her stomach was grumbling, so she hung her head and walked over. The man opposite her had a cold expression on his face, as if she owed him a few million RMB. He was the one who bullied her just now! All six dishes were served when Qiao Mu discovered that regardless of the dish being vegetables or meat, every dish had been stir fried without any red chilli in sight. She felt something tugging at her heartstring. She bit her lip and started to eat with her head down. He still remembered! He remembered that she could not eat spicy food. When she was younger, Qiao Mu could not take spicy food at all. She could not stand even the slightest bit of spiciness that came into contact with her tongue. Every time Li Yan brought her out to eat in a restaurant, he would specifically instruct the kitchen to keep chilli away from the dishes. In the following years after he left, no one would care about her taste buds, and she slowly got used to spiciness. She could even eat Sichuan cuisine now. Qiao Mu understood from a long time ago when facing things that she disliked, others would not adapt to her. She had to adapt to the ways of others. In the Qiao family, she had always tried her best to adapt. After so many years, she had already forgotten how it felt like for someone else to care. She had already forgotten about a small matter like her personal food preferences, yet this man actually remembered! Qiao Mu lowered her head and ate, but she was extremely upset. Why did he give her a carrot after hitting her with a stick? Qiao Mu. The man sitting opposite her called out to her. Qiao Mu stopped moving but she still remained in her position with her head hung low. Raise your head! Qiao Mu raised her head and revealed her red, watery eyes. Li Yans brows were furrowed together. Did he frighten her with his actions just now? He had already let her off the hook. What was she feeling upset about? Qiao Mu lowered her head once again. Before he could ask, she mumbled with a low voice, Im fine. Its just that these dishes taste too mild to me. Too mild? Qiao Mu pointed at a te of stir fried beef, Actually, this beef will be tastier if its spicy. She paused before she added again, I can take spicy food now. An unknown emotion shed through Li Yans ck eyes, Qiao Mu, youre crying because the dishes were too mild? Im not crying. Its just that the rice is too hot, and the steam got into my eyes. It was hardly persuasive. If you lower your head further down into your bowl, your head will be having a steam bath. Qiao Mu was left speechless by his tant sarcasm. Li Yan put down his chopsticks and said to the butler, Clear the dishes, redo them, with chilli this time. The butler was just about to respond when Qiao Mu immediately reached out to interrupt, Its fine. Its really quite tasty! Then, Qiao Mu picked the beef up with chopsticks and took one huge bite after another. Chapter 45 Chapter 45 After she finished her meal, Qiao Mu stood up and mumbled, Im going home now. Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu. He got up and picked his coat up. Ill send you home. You dont have to send me home. Its just next door, I can go back on my own. Qiao Mu waved her hand. He was acting as if nothing had happened in the bedroom just now. Li Yan ignored her rejection as he walked over to hold her hand and walk out, Qiao Mu, do you know that there are a lot of rag pickers who sleep nearby the wealthy suburb at night? I dont want to wake up tomorrow morning and find you abducted by someone else. Oh, Qiao Mu answered tamely. She really did not know about that. Li Yan sounded resigned. Youre really getting dumber as youre getting older. Qiao Mu grimaced and muttered with a low voice, Youre really bing fierce. What did you say? His sharp gaze swept over to Qiao Mu as she stopped her big eyes from blinking nkly. She snapped her jaw shut! After both of them left the mansion, the butler behind them shook his head in resignation. The security around the mansions were extremely strict. How would any rag pickers appear around here? Miss Qiao actually believed in the young masters off-handed lie. They still acted no differently from their childhoods. When they close to the gate of the Qiao familys mansion, Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks as she was worried that someone might spot them, Uncle, Ive reached home. You can go back now. Not till you pass through the doorway. Ill watch. Qiao Mu nodded and waved at him, Goodbye, uncle. After she said that, she ran away as quickly as she could. Li Yans lips curled into a smile. This little thing had slipped into her habit of calling him uncle. .. Qiao Jiannan was in his study when Qiao Mu returned home, and so she went over to greet him. She was just about to go back to her bedroom when she was stopped by Yu Tingyun at the corridor. Whats the matter, Aunt Yun? Qiao Mu was somewhat surprised. In private, Yu Tingyun would usually ignore Qiao Mu. Yu Tingyun had stopped her on purpose today. Yu Tingyun stood upright, and as before, her posture made her look like an aloof noble person. She said indifferently, I have something to say to you , Qiao Mu. Youre already an adult since youre 18 years old now. If you dont want toe back to this home, you dont have toe back in the future. Did not have toe back home in the future? The meaning behind her words was obvious. Qiao Mu gave a slight smile and she had a puzzled expression on her face, Aunt Yun, I dont really understand what you mean. Youre so smart, of course you can understand what I mean. I know you dont like to stay in this home. You did not have the ability when you were younger, but you can totally leave the Qiao family now that youre an adult. Yu Tingyun was speaking very slowly with a smile on her face, and it appeared like she was giving Qiao Mu very good advice. Why did the kind stepmother suddenly grow impatient? A hint of coldness shed across Qiao Mus eyes, but the smile on her face appeared extremely naive. She said very directly, Aunt Yun, I know what youre worried about. Rx, the Qiao family has raised me for so many years. I wont take anything that doesnt belong to me. Yu Tingyuns expression became stiff when her worries were mentioned aloud. Qiao mu yawned, Its quitete now and Im going to sleep. Goodnight, Aunt Yun. Yu Tingyun stared at Qiao Mus back as she left, and her eyes were filled with raw hatred. Yu Tingyun could not understand how others would think that Qiao Mu was pure and naive when she was actually a young woman, one capable of dark schemes? Since young, Qiao Mu had not caused any trouble in this household even once. Although Qiao Ya always bullied her, she would neverined to Qiao Jiannan. Her sensibility was totally unbefitting of a childs nature. Yu Tingyun remembered when Qiao Jiannan once went on a business trip, Qiao Ya had locked Qiao Mu in a room and starved her for a day. But after the incident, Qiao Mu only came to her and said, Aunt Yunt, please tell big sister to stop doing this in the future. If father knows about this, he will be very unhappy about it. How deep and dark was the mind that designed such words? But Qiao Jiannan had mentioned thepanys share today, and that Qiao Mu should enjoy the rights to own thepanys share as a legal adult. But Yu Tingyun did not intend to give Qiao Groups share to an illegitimate daughter! If she did not cut Qiao Mu off from the Qiao family now, Qiao Mu would covet everything from the Qiao family upon graduation! Chapter 46 Chapter 46 In contrast to Yu Tingyuns sleepless night, Qiao Mu had a very good sleep. She slept through the entire night. Upon waking up, Qiao Mu went downstairs to have a simple breakfast with a ss of milk and a piece of bread. Yu Tingyuns gaze toward her was even colder than before, but Qiao Mu did not pay it any heed. Actually, Qiao Mu was very grateful toward the Qiao family for raising her this many years. Although Yu TIngyun did not truly ept her as family, she couldpletely understand her position. So she always tolerated Qiao Yas bullying and Yu Tingyuns indifference, but they should be done with bullying her after so many years. She did not think that Yu Tingyun would be impatient enough to kick her out. Actually, she only had to wait for another two years for Qiao Mu to graduate. Qiao Mu would then leave the Qiao family like how it was supposed to be. Yu Tingyuns worries werepletely?unnecessary. .. When Qiao Mu walked out of the Qiao familys mansionspound, she heard an ear-piercing car honk behind her. She turned around and saw Qiao Yas white Mercedes-Benz. The car was very close to her. The road was so wide, so it was very obvious that Qiao Ya did this on purpose. Qiao Mu moved to the side of the road, but the car was honking even more aggressively. Qiao Mu, cant you just walk on the side of the road? A good dog will never block the path. Cant you just watch where youre going? Qiao Ya yelled disdainfully from the car. Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks and looked at Qiao Ya, Miss Qiao, youre my older sister. If you say Im a dog, arent you a big dog then? You! Qiao Ya ground her teeth in anger. At the same time, a Bentley Mulsanne slowly drove toward them. With a single nce, Qiao Mu could already recognize that the shy ck car was Li Yans car. Qiao Mus eyes brightened up as she waved toward the car, Uncle, can you give me a ride? Inside the car, Li Yans gaze fell onto the young woman leaning on the car window. She was blinking with her big eyes and staring directly at him, as if she was saying Please quickly agree, please quickly agree. Before Li Yan could say anything, Qiao Ya said in a very scornful voice, Qiao Mu, what are you thinking? Unclespany is not on the same path with your university at all. Can you not trouble uncle Get in the car! Li Yan straightaway interrupted Qiao Ya before she could finish talking. Qiao Mu ignored Qiao Yas horrified expression as she started grinning. She said while she opened the car door and got into the car, Theres a benefit of not driving a car, too. I get to ride in my uncles luxury car! After she finished talking, she mmed the car door loudly with an extremely arrogant attitude. Qiao Ya almost exploded out of extreme anger. Immediately after that, that ck car swiftly drove past her car. Qiao Mus mood was extremely good as she sat in the car. It had been a long time since she had such a carefree feeling. From the young womans smug expression, it was obvious that Qiao Ya had often bullied her. Li Yans ck eyes darkened at the thought. It seemed like his warning toward Qiao Ya when he left back then had gonepletely unheeded. Qiao Mu realized that she was going overboard with her smugness, and so she scratched her head in embarrassment, Uncle, thank you for the ride. How do you want to thank me? Isnt a verbal thank you enough? He only did her a small favor but he wanted her to thank him more ceremoniously. He was really pushing it too far! No. Li Yan nced faintly at Qiao Mu as the corners of his lips curved into a half-smile, You know what I want. Qiao Mu blinked dumbly for a moment before her face started blushing. She really did not want to know what he wanted, but why was she suddenly recalling the scene in his bedroom yesterday night Qiao Mu turned her face away toward the window and mumbled, I dont know. Are you sure? Li yan raised his brow and lifted her chin so she could meet his gaze, My dear niece, I thought we shared a mutual hobby! Hobby This pervert! The car came to a standstill when Qiao Mu pped his hand away and immediately got out of the car. She stood outside the car and red fiercely at him with her big eyes, Li Yan, youre a pervert! Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Li Yan looked at the arrogant little thing outside of his car as his lips curved upward. She wanted to leave after she was done taking advantage of him? There were no free lunches in the world! Li Yan reverted to his usual expression of ice when she disappeared from his sight. He picked up his cell phone to make a call, Lei Yi, I need you to look into this .. After Qiao Mu returned to university and attended two sses, she stayed in her dorm to sketch out some clothing designs. Fashion design was her major, and so she sold her hand drawn designs to fashion designpanies to earn some money. She did not care about rights of use as long as she was paid. Qiao Mu was busy with her task when Chi Xia moved closer to whisper into her ear. Mu Mu, you still havent told me about your uncle. Your stepmothers younger brother is too handsome! Dont interrupt me. If you want me to return your money to you earlier, you better be good and shut up. Chi Xia grimaced as she opened a bag of chips and started eating, Little Mu Mu, youve grown up. Youre actually keeping secrets from me. Qiao Mu was left speechless. Qiao Mus cell phone started ringing and she nced at the callers ID before she answered the call, Senior, whats the matter? Im indeed calling you for something. Han Sus clear and bright voice said through the cell phone, Mu Mu, I did you a favorst time. Shouldnt you return the favor? Senior, this obviously doesnt sound like a good thing when youre beating around the bush. Han Suughed, Actually Im going to a private banquet tomorrow night, and I need a femalepanion with me. Can you do me the honor and apany me? Qiao Mu was stunned, Senior, you should have a lot of suitable candidates around you, right? My time is so precious and yet you choose me! But youre the only one who owes me a favor. Alright. After all, he had helped her before, so it would be rude for her to reject him. After Qiao Mu hung up the phone, Chi Xia asked, Han Su? Why did he call you? Qiao Mu took a chip and put it in her mouth before she said, He needs a femalepanion. I agreed to his request because he helped me before. Help? He drove you into such a messy situation, and that counts as helping you? Han Sus known to be distant from everyone else, but why is he so enthusiastic toward you? Im certain he has evil intentions! Chi Xia was very opinionated about Han Sus favor. Qiao Mu shrugged helplessly. Im the one who asked for his help. Why do you me him? Alright, wasnt it all in the past? Chi Xia snorted as her brows furrowed together, Mu Mu, be honest. Is Han Su into you? If not, why would he be so persistent? The door was suddenly pushed open and Yao Shu was standing at the entrance. She asked nonchntly, What are you talking about? Whats wrong with Han Su? Chi Xia shrugged, Nothing. Im asking Mu Mu if Han Su likes her. Yao Shus expression changed, How is it possible? Han Su definitely doesnt like Mu Mu! Chi Xiaughed, Why are you so agitated? If not, does he like you? Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at Chi Xia, Even snacks cant shut your mouth up! Chi Xia and Qiao Mu continued to chat, and they did not notice Yao Shus face scrunching up. Yao Shu sat on the chair and took out her cell phone to text a message, Dear, whats your rtionship with Qiao Mu? Very soon, she got a message in return, Qiao Mu? Baby, dont tell me youre jealous? There are too many people who like me, but youre the only one I like. Yao Shu asked again, But why do you always turn off the lights every night when were together? You never look at my face, and you always treat me like a stranger when we meet during the day. Baby, youre thinking too much again. Isnt it more exciting this way? Dont you like it? Yao Shu blushed when she read the message. She raised her head to nce at Qiao Mu, and her eyes were filled with smugness. Han Su belonged to her! Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Top floor of the LSA Building. Lei Yi stood before the office desk as he spoke in his calm voice, Young master, Ive already investigated the matter as per your instructions. Zhou Jieru is indeed Miss Qiaos birth mother. She has a gambling addiction and she is deep in gambling debt. For the past two years, Miss Qiao has been helping her pay her debts. In the Qiao family, Miss Qiao does not have any other allowance, so most of her money was earned by herself. Zhou Jieru believes that her birth daughter is having a very well-off life in the Qiao family, so she frequently asks Miss Qiao for money. The Qiao family did not allow Miss Qiao to meet her birth mother, so the Qiao family members were unaware of these matters. Li Yan pursed his lips and his expressionless face kept radiating coldness. His long fingers tapped rhythmically against the table as he asked, Qiao Jiannan doesnt care about Miss Qiao when shes living like this? Qiao Jiannans unaware about this. Mrs Qiao is the one responsible for Miss Qiaos living expenses, and she only gives a fixed amount of living expenses. Lei Yi said. Li Yan knew that her life in the Qiao family was not smooth-sailing, but he did not think that her birth mother was such a massive burden! He leaned against his seat and said coldly, Keep tabs on Zhou Jieru, inform me if she contacts Qiao Mu once again. Yes, young master. Lei Yi answered. Lei Yi paused for a while before he continued, Young master, Second Young Master Su has organized a private banquet tomorrow night, and the second young master asked me to pass the message to you. Li Yan said coldly, Im not going. Lei Yi nodded. It was obvious that the young master was in a very bad mood, and so he left the office silently. After five minutes, Li Yans cell phone started ringing. It was a call from Su Chen. Li Yan picked up the phone and Su Chens husky voice could be heard through the cell phone, Big brother, youre not giving face to me by not attending my banquet. Im not free. Dont waste my time if you dont have anything else to say. From his tone of voice, Su Chen could tell that Li Yan was having a bad mood. Su Chenughed, I heard the northern suburbs have caught your eye. Ive invited the mayors son for you, if you donte, Lu Jingzhi will snatch the property rights from you. Goodbye! Hey, dont Su Chen held the phone listlessly as the other end beeped. Who got this guy so mad again? But even though he acted coldly, Su Chen was sure that Li Yan would still attend the banquet. .. Gold and Jade Hotel. One after another, many people started to arrive at the banquet hall. Su Chen looked at the man standing at the entrance and gave Lu Jingzhi a meaningful nce, I knew big brother woulde. Lu Jingzhi leaned on the couch andzily crossed one leg over another, If Ling Xi knows that the three of us are having fun together while hes suffering in South Africa, hes going to make a big deal out of it. Su Chen patted Lu Jingzhis shoulder, Dont get sofortable,e and help me greet the guests. This is your banquet, not mine. Despite Lu Jingzhis words, he still stood up and looked at Li Yan, who was walking over to them, Big brother, I thought that thend in the northern suburbs is mine! It wont be yours even if I donte. Li Yan said indifferently. He walked gracefully toward the couch and sat down. Lu Jingzhi shrugged disapprovingly. Even if he could snatch thend from anyone else, he could not snatch it from this man. He would not stand a chance. He had not addressed Li Yan as his big brother for so many years for nothing. Su Chen pointed to somewhere in the crowd, The mayors son is already here. Su Chen looked at Li Yan after he said that, only to find Li Yans gaze at the banquet halls entrance. His sharp, almond-shaped eyes narrowed dangerously. It seemed like this tiger had found its prey. Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi exchanged looks and together, stared at the banquet halls entrance Chapter 49 Chapter 49 They followed Li Yans gaze and saw a young man and a young woman chatting happily as they entered the banquet hall. The young man was the young master of Hans family. They had met before, and there was nothing wrong with him. As for the young woman in the long white dress beside him Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi were slightly stunned. They turned their gazes onto Li Yan once again, but saw that his expression had darkened. His eyes were burning with anger, as if he was going to burn a hole through that young womans body with his gaze. Li Yans gaze fixed intently on that figure in white. She was holding the mans arm with a smile on her face, and Li Yan knew that man. He was the man who had imed to be her boyfriend! Lu Jingzhi smirked and his expression was somewhat rogueish. Dont tell me, this beautiful young woman happens to be the big brothers woman that Ling Xi mentioned? Su Chens deep ck eyes squinted cryptically. It was obvious that Lu Jingzhi did not recognize the other persons identity. .. Qiao Mu followed Han Su into the banquet hall. Qiao Mu was wearing a long white dress, and her long, shiny ck hair gently draped over her shoulders. She did not dress mboyantly nor reservedly, and her beauty was just perfect Han Su lowered his head to look at Qiao Mu beside him. In normal times, Qiao Mu always acted carefreely and spoke ording to her own wishes, but right now at that moment, she appeared so magnificent. The aura from the core of her very bones was on full disy. She was just an eighteen year old young woman, but she could actually be this beautiful. Qiao Mu realized that Han Su was staring at her, so she blinked in confusion, Senior, whats wrong? Your dress really suits you, I have quite a good taste. Han Sus bright eyes were twinkling as he stared at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu chuckled, Senior, who else would boast like you do? Right, as youve said before, I just need to follow you after I go in. That youll bring me out the way you brought me in. Rx, do you think Ill leave you here alone? Han Su looked resigned. Since young, Qiao Mu had never attended any other events apart from Qiao familys banquets. Although she disliked rich peoples parties, she could not reject Han Su when she owed him one. Qiao Mu followed Han Su into the banquet hall. She unintentionally looked up and suddenly met a powerful gaze that froze her. With a sudden quiver, she noticed the man who was sitting on the couch in the corner. Although she was a distance away from him, Qiao Mu could clearly see how dark his expression was. The coldness deep within his ck eyes could not be held back by mere distance. Li Yan was actually invited! Qiao Mu thought the private banquet mentioned by Han Su was just some gathering between his friends. She did not think that the banquet was this grand! Why was she this lucky? Of all the people, Li Yan was here! At this time, Han Su also discovered Li Yans presence. He lowered his head to look at Qiao Mu, Isnt it your uncle over there? Without waiting for Qiao Mu to speak up, Han Su started to smile, Were encountering your uncle once again. Now your uncle will really think that were a couple. Lets go over to say hi. Qiao Mu was speechless. He looks angry enough, could he not make things any worse? .. On the other end, Lu Jingzhi looked at Han Su and Qiao Mu as they walked over, and he startedughing as he somewhat took pleasure in their misfortune, They still dare toe over? Dont they notice that the tiger is baring all its fangs? Su Chen felt resigned, Can you speak less and shut up. Just enjoy the show. Lu Jingzhi simply sat down and crossed his legs as he waited for the show to begin. But why did he feel that this young woman looked so familiar? A thought shed across his mind Then, the young woman stood before Li Yan. She stood respectfully and mumbled softly, Uncle Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Qiao Mu mustered up her courage before she walked toward Li Yan. She really could not bear Li Yans scary gaze, so she lowered her head respectfully. Could he stop ring at her? His scary gaze was so usatory. She blinked innocently. What did she do wrong? Was she not just returning a favor? Qiao Mu took a deep breath and smiled at Li Yan, Uncle, youre here too. what a coincidence! A coincidence indeed! The corners of Li Yans lips slightly turned upward. His voice was deep and charming, yet icy cold at the same time. He looked up to look at Han Su, and his gaze inadvertently fell onto Han Sus arm. Just now, his little things hand had been wrapped around there! Han Su could sense Li Yans coldness, and he was somewhat surprised. He still remained calm and collected when he said with a smile, Hello, Young Master Li. Im Han Su. Weve met before. Weve indeed met before. Youre her boyfriend, right? The word boyfriend sounded ice-colding from Li Yans thin lips. Han Su was stunned before he exined, It was a misunderstandingst time. Didnt Mu Mu exin to you? At that time, I didnt know you were her uncle. I only said that I was her boyfriend to help her out of the situation. Im just Mu Mus senior. Li Yans expression softened a little, but just slightly. Mu Mu? Lu Jingzhi was almost already certain about her identity after she called Li Yan uncle. In Beijing, Qiao familys daughter was the only person who could call Li Yan uncle. Qiao Ya, of course, would not receive such treatment. If it was not Qiao Ya, she must be Lu Jingzhi was somewhat uncertain when he looked at Su Chen. He said with a low voice, Su Chen, who is this young woman? Su Chen nced faintly at him, She is who you think she is. Lu Jingzhi was stunned. She was really Qiao Mu! It made sense after he thought about it. Over the years, not many women could earn a second nce from Li Yan, and Qiao Mu was the only one who could receive such attention from him. He did not expect the treatment from ten years ago to remain the same after all this while. Lu Jingzhi never saw Qiao Mu again after Li Yan went abroad, because Qiao Mu never attended any other events or banquets. Naturally, Young Master Lu, who could not remember womens faces even after meeting them, did not remember Qiao Mus appearance. It was normal for him to not recognize her. But Su Chen could recognize her with just one nce. Qiao Mus appearance had not changed much, and a while back, he happened to see a photo of Qiao Mu when she was younger. Most importantly, it was because of Li Yans response just now. In a huge city like Beijing, Qiao Mu was the only person who could sway Li Yans emotions. Su Chen stared at Qiao Mu. In his memory, the young girl always acted carefree and wild before Li Yan, but this young woman before them was lowering her head respectfully. She seemed terrified of Li Yan. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward. After Han Su greeted Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi, he said to Li Yan again, Young Master Li, Mu Mu is my femalepanion tonight. Dont worry, Ill send her back to the campus safely after the banquet ends. Ill bring her to the other side now. Qiao Mu smiled at Li Yan, Uncle, Ille find you in a while. The mans expression was so dark, and he was obviously angry. She did not dare leave him as it is. Li Yan watched as Han Su took Qiao Mu away, but remained silent. Lu Jingzhi was very curious when he asked, Big brother, ten years have already passed. Why are you getting your hands on Qiao Mu again? You acted really fast! Li Yan picked up a ss of red wine and swirled it around before taking a sip. His voice sounded indifferent as he said matter-of-factly, Im not the one who made the first move. Chapter 51 Chapter 51 They did not know that the young woman was always the one making the first move. Regardless of whether it was her intentional or unintentional approach to him ten years ago, or her idental approach ten years after, in short, she was always the one making the first move, every single time. To top it all off, this little things greatest weapon was her ability to feign innocence in spite of being the main culprit. Lu Jingzhi heard Li Yans cryptic words and was somewhat stunned. The man satnguidly on the couch, and his expression was cold as before, but from time to time, his gaze fell onto that figure in the crowd. Apart from Qiao Mu, no one else could get such attention from this man. Since he cared so much about her, then why Big brother, why didnt you tell Qiao Mu that you were leaving when you went abroad that year? Upon hearing that, Li Yans gaze darkened as he lifted a brow. He nced indifferently at Lu Jingzhi. He did not speak a word, but his gaze was a question, in and of itself. Lu Jingzhi crossed his legs, his expression masterfully neutral. After you left, I went to your house to get something for you. Qiao Mu ran over and asked for you. She clearly was unaware about your departure. Li Yan pursed his lips and an unknown emotion shed across his eyes. Su Chen, who was sitting beside him, noticed that and silently dragged Lu Jingzhi with him to entertain the guests. Lu Jingzhi was very reluctant as he followed behind Su Chen, Big brother hasnt answered me yet. Why did you bring me away? Su Chen red at him, You didnt mention this back then, so why are you mentioning it now? Are you trying to get yourself into trouble? Ahem Didnt I forget about it back then? Moreover, he always felt that Li Yan only deliberately acted like he cared about Qiao Mu back then to put on a show in front of Yu Tingyun and her daughter. The fact that he did not notify Qiao Mu when he left further confirmed this, so Lu Jingzhi had not taken it to heart. .. The guests became aware of Li Yans presence, and one by one, they came over to toast him. Li Yans gaze swept across the crowd from time to time to catch that figure in white as he dealt with those who came forward to toast him. She went to find him after he left? Did she not already know that he was leaving? Li Yan stared at Qiao Mus side profile. Although she was a distance away from him, he could still clearly see that she was smiling politely. Suddenly, her expression changed, and then he saw the man and woman show up in front of her. On the other end, Qiao Mu was apanying Han Su as he greeted his acquaintances. Suddenly, a familiar voice said, Mu Mu, why are you here? The voice sounded sweet and gentle, which was entirely unlike her usual sharp and unkind speaking style. Qiao Mu smiled at the person who came forward, Big sister, youre here too. Im apanying my friend to this banquet. Qiao Ya had an appropriate smile on her face, but there was an unnoticeable hatred deep within her eyes. She smiled as she looked at Han Su, Who is this? Is he your boyfriend? This is my senior. Qiao Mu introduced as she raised her head to meet Han Sus gaze. She exined, This is my big sister. Ever since Han Su knew that Li Yan was Qiao Mus uncle, he already knew that she was the daughter of the Qiao family. So he was not surprised when he met Qiao Ya. Han Su nodded politely toward Qiao Ya, and then turned his gaze toward the man beside her and smiled, Young Master Lin, long time no see. Lin Xian smiled as his gaze shifted toward Qiao Mu, Young Master Han is so lucky to have such a beautiful femalepanion! Young Ya, is this your biological younger sister? I didnt think that your younger sister would be on par with your beauty. Lin Xian stared lustfully at Qiao Mu, and Qiao Mu was very disgusted by his gaze. She did not know where Qiao Ya met such a tacky man. Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Qiao Ya realized that Lin Xians attention had shifted toward Qiao Mu. A hint of greed shed across her eyes as she smiled, Young Master Lin, my younger sister is still in university, so she rarely shows up for public events. No wonder! Its such a shame for such a beautiful young woman to fall into the oblivion that is university. As her big sister, you should expose her to more events like this for knowledge and experience. I have a private party in two days time. If its convenient for you, you can bring your younger sister with you to my party. Qiao Yas eyes brightened and she immediately answered without caring about Qiao Mus opinion, Of course were free to attend when Young Master Lins the one who invited us! Qiao Mu already guessed that the other persons status must be extraordinary after she noticed Qiao Yas bootlicking attitude. Qiao Ya always acted aloof and highly. If the other person did not hold any value to her, she would never lower herself like this. Han Su pulled Qiao Mu to the side and warned her, Mu Mu, the person just now is the mayors son. He doesnt have the best of personalities, so you have to watch your distance. Lin Xian was obviously interested in Qiao Mu judging from his behavior just now. Lin Xian was well-known for being a yboy, and there was nothing that he would not do in his life of dissipation. Moreover, he was the son of an official, so he was fearless in his wrongdoings, as his father would clear up his mess every single time. Qiao Mu nodded. The mayors son indeed had a powerful background! At the same time, Li Yan walked toward Lin Xian. Qiao Mu was somewhat surprised as she looked at Han Su, Senior, the mayors son is not the mayor, why does everyone need to give face to him? Youre unaware about this, but recently there is a plot ofnd in the northern suburb that holds a huge development value, and a lot ofpanies have their eyes on it. Thend directly belongs to the city hall, so the mayors official approval is needed to own thend. I believe its because of this matter that your uncle is taking the initiative to greet Lin Xian. Han Su exined. Qiao Mu did not understand business-rted matters. She only knew that both Qiao Group and Li Group seemed like they wanted this business deal. Qiao Mu watched Li Yan and Lin Xian as they clinked wine sses, and Qiao Ya had an awkward expression on her face as she stood by their side. Qiao Mu wanted tough at the scene. Li Yan certainly was not giving face to Qiao Ya again. Qiao Mu was somewhat tired, so she notified Han Su before she rested on the couch aside. She lowered her head to y on her cell phone to pass the time. A tall figure stood in front of her and the shadow loomed over her vision. She raised her head and saw Li Yans handsome face. Qiao Mus eyes crinkled in smile as she shifted over to give Li Yan a space to sit. Uncle, have a seat. Li Yan ncedzily at her as he sat down conveniently. He raised one of his long legs to cross over another leg, and his arm rested on the back of the couch behind her. His posture was extremelynguid as he stared indifferently at her. He just stared silently at her without uttering a word. Qiao Ya could not stand the silent treatment. He seemed even scarier when he was staring silently at her than when he was scolding her fiercely. Uncle In order to ease the tension, Qiao Mu thought for a while and said, You see, most of the men here have femalepanions but you dont have one. No one would dare to get close to you when youre wearing a cold expression on your face. Li Yan raised his brows indifferently as he spoke through his thin lips, My femalepanion was snatched away by another person. Whos so fearless?! Your senior. His voice sounded dull. Qiao Mu was left speechless. She immediately realized that she was the femalepanion he was talking about! The man before her suddenly got closer to her. Hisnguid expression had a hidden aura that was domineering and unruly, as his deep voice said one word after another, Qiao Mu, my woman can only be used by me. Others dont have the rights to touch whats mine. Do you understand? His words implied another meaning. Qiao Mus heart stopped beating as she nodded subconsciously. This man was serious about it. Speak! Qiao Mu immediately straightened up and sat upright, as she said earnestly, I understand! Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Someone suddenlyughed behind them, breaking the atmosphere. Lu Jingzhi slowly walked over with a smile on his face, Big brother, are you lecturing a student? Its so rare to see such an obedient student nowadays! Qiao Mus eyes were very hostile when she nced at Lu Jingzhi. She ignored the other person and turned to the side to look at Li Yan as she continued, Uncle, please dont be angry anymore. Her voice sounded coy when she pleaded. Her big eyes blinked as she stared intently at him, and her actions made her seem extremely obedient and adorable. The coldness on Li Yans face slowly dissipated from her attitude. He nced at Lu Jingzhi, who sat opposite them and showed no signs of leaving. It started to irk him. But Lu Jingzhi remained unaware of Li Yans ire. He continued regardless of the potential danger he was in, Qiao Mu, hes not your biological uncle, yet youre so used to calling him uncle. Qiao Mu stared at Lu Jingzhi in annoyance, Mister Lu, I dont think youre in a position to educate me. Cant you see that were having a conversation? Why do you interrupt us in such a rude manner? Dont you know that your actions are very annoying? Lu Jingzhi raised his brow nonchntly. In front of Li Yan, Qiao Mu was as obedient and sensible as a child. But she was apletely different person when she was facing him and she acted like she was covered in thorns. Lu Jingzhi crossed his legs, Miss Qiao, your temperament is as arrogant as usual. Youll suffer losses in the future if you continue to act like this. Suffer what losses? A low voice said slowly. Li yan nced indifferently at Lu Jingzhi, Tell me, what losses will she suffer? His tone sounded extremely strong and arrogant. Lu Jingzhi was stunned as he said helplessly, Big brother, its not good for you to indulge her. Li Yan looked up, Do you have any opinions? No! How did he dare have any opinions? Lu Jingzhi could only suffer in silence. Why did Li Yan take it so seriously when he was simply joking around? His unrestrained act in protecting Qiao Mu now was just the same as back then! Lu Jingzhi finally understood why Su Chen very tactfully did note over to butt in. No one could simply take advantage of Qiao Mu! Lu Jingzhi shook his head as he recalled those years. He had once believed that Li Yan would never really get together with Qiao Mu He also had moments where he made an error of judgement when he was younger. Qiao Mu felt a ripple of emotion. She could sense that Li Yan was protecting her. This familiar nostalgia was somewhat saddening, but she did not know how to react to it. But she could not hold back the warmth that oozed from the bottom of her heart. Although she did not want to admit it, she was extremely happy about this. Lets go. The man beside her stood up. Qiao Mu raised her head to meet his gaze, and then got up obediently and followed behind him as he went out. .. It was extremely quiet in the car. Qiao Mu lowered her head in silence. Some of her memories came back to her after she met his friends. Qiao Mu did not like Lu Jingzhi, and she always disliked him. When Li Yan went abroad, Qiao Mu was ill and bedridden. When she finally could get off her bed and ran to the Li familys mansion, she only saw Lu Jingzhi as Li Yan had already left by then. She remembered clearly when Lu Jingzhi stared disapprovingly at her, and very cruelly told her that she was unfit for Li Yan, that they were people of two worlds. He said that she was still young, and she would understand when she got older. Usually Qiao Mu, who was always optimistic, would not mind these words. But slowly, Qiao Mu realized that Li Yan had truly disappeared from her life.?After that, it was just as Lu Jingzhi said, Li Yan and her were indeed living in two different worlds. As Qiao Mu was lost in her thoughts, arge hand ruffled her hair, Your mind can still wander when youre beside me? What are you thinking? Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Qiao Mu tilted her head as she stared at the face that had remained as handsome as it did ten years ago. She could not hold back the confusion within her as she asked, Uncle, why did you go abroad without saying a word? Li Yans eyes slightly darkened as his cold gaze fixed on her face. This was her first time mentioning their past ever since their reunion. Twice even, she had failed to recognize him. Just like how they met for the first time on the cruise, the rtionship between them started because he had caught her doing something wrong. She did not mention the past, so he had not mentioned it either. There were some bad memories that he was unwilling to recall. His gaze fixed intently on her, and he sounded like he was questioning her, Youre only asking it now? Qiao Mu, do you even care? Qiao Mu clenched both hands into fists. She nervously waited for his answer, but she only got this in return. Did she even care? Just like what Lu Jingzhi said, she was just an insignificant child back then. Her heart throbbed in pain as she smiled indifferently, Just forget about it if uncle doesnt want to talk about it. After all, its already in the past. That pair of ck eyes suddenly darkened, and a hint of anger shed across his eyes. Her indifference had infuriated him beyond words. When he left without saying goodbye back then, was she also this indifferent? The atmosphere in the car turned cial. Qiao Mu lowered her head. She somewhat regretted plucking at the wrong string and ruining the atmosphere. The man beside her suddenly got closer, and before Qiao Mu could realize what was happening, he had sealed her lips with a kiss. Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock. His kiss was overbearing and powerful, as his lips and tongue did what he wished without restraint in her mouth, and she quickly lost resistance. The anger in Li Yans heart would not dissipate, as the heat swarmed up in his chest, he found it difficult to breathe. Kissing her fiercely with all his might seemed to remedy it. He suddenly bit her tongue in a punitive manner. It hurts Get out of the car! The low and hoarse voice sounded cold. Qiao Mu was stunned, and then only was she aware that she had already reached her university. She bit her lips and looked at him dejectedly. She saw the coldness in his eyes and forcefully wiped her red lips before storming out of the car. She could get out of the car if she pleased! What was the big deal? The car sped off the instant the door mmed. Qiao Mu stomped her foot angrily! .. The next day Qiao Mu woke up in a daze, only to be greeted by rumors going around the university. Someone had taken photos of her and Han Su yesterday when they attended the banquet and photos were uploaded onto the universitys forum. Han Su was the president of the student union, and though he had a lot of admirers, he always acted coldly toward those who confessed to him. Slowly, the number of people who were secretly in love with him increased. So naturally, the intimate photos of Qiao Mu and Han Su got the publics attention. Yao Shu showed the photos to Qiao Mu on her cell phone and asked expressionlessly, Qiao Mu, whats going on between you and Han Su? Qiao Mu nced disapprovingly at the photos, We just attended a banquet. Its nothing. The people online are too bored. Yao Shus expression was somewhat twisted when she asked nonchntly, But your lips were red when you came back yesterday. What about that? Qiao Mus mood turned for the worse when she remembered what Li Yan didst night, so she simply replied, Some bug bit my lips. After Qiao Mu said that, she saw that Yao Shu was standing motionless as she thought about something. Qiao Mu asked in confusion, Young Shu, are you alright? Yao Shu clenched her fist tightly as she forced a smile. Oh, Im alright! Chapter 55 Chapter 55 The gossip post regarding Qiao Mu and Han Su was taken down by thework administrator not long after. Han Su gave Qiao Mu a call to apologise, and told her that he would handle this matter without causing her any trouble. Qiao Mu was not particrly perturbed about the entire event. She just felt that something had gone wrong with Yao Shu since that night. But she also did not think too much about it. However, on the next day, Qiao Mu was called to the office by the department head. The department head was a middle-aged woman with old-fashioned sses. Judging by her appearance, she was not someone to be trifled with. Qiao Mu asked respectfully, Madam, why did you call me here? The department head had a serious expression on her face, Qiao Mu, you have had quite a lot of after ss entertainment recently. Dont forget that studying is your main task. Dont be influenced by the societys climate! Its very easy for you to go astray when you look past your duties as a student now! Qiao Mu was confused, Madam, I dont understand. Did I make any mistakes? She only got exposure from attending a banquet. It was unlikely for her to be called to the office because of that, right? This about your recent behaviors. Do you really not know what you did wrong? Have you ever thought about what would happen when the school finds out that you were spotted at nightclubs? Young people your age dont focus on your studies, but rely on your good looks to reap without sowing. I heard that you were extremely tight on cash recently, so you kept going to those indecent ces. Dont be so vain as a young woman. Does that look like the right ce to earn money? The department head stared regretfully at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu was stunned, Madam, who told you that? You still have the nerves to ask? You were not exactly discreet, werent you? A students parent saw you at the nightclub and reported you to the university. The parent said that our universitys morals are corrupted, and demanded that we deal with students like you in order to make an example for the other students! Youre really in deep trouble this time! How was this possible? Qiao Mu only went to Shades of Darkness once, and not many people could have spotted her, let alone some students parents? Qiao Mu furrowed her brows pitifully, Madam, you cant just go by conjecture and hearsay. I deny going to any nightclubs whatsoever. Besides, how can any random students parent recognize me? It is either a case of mistaken identity, I am being set up! Madam, you cant simply jump to conclusions! The department head pushed her sses and said with a cold expression, You dont have to quibble anymore. Ask your parents toe tomorrow, I would like to have a word with them! Qiao Mu instantly felt a chill in her heart. She wanted to continue her pleas, but the department head did not give her any chance to do so at all. Calling her parents over? It would be the end of her if her father knew about her wrongdoings! Her father did not have the time toe to the university, so her stepmother woulde instead. It was obvious that the consequences would be even worse! This single tip-off would open a barrel of worms! All her secrets and ndestine activities would be out in the open! If Yu Tingyun had the mind to find out, with a little investigation, she would discover that Qiao Mu was in contact with her birth mother. Qiao Mu definitely could not let such things happen! Right at that moment,Li Yan was the first person Qiao Mu could think of to ask for help. She hung her head dejectedly as she stared at her cell phone. She did not know Li Yans phone number at all. She had no means of contacting him even if she truly wanted to! Li Yan never contacted her again ever since that night when he had furiously sent her out of his car. Obviously, it was very unlikely to ask him for help now. Qiao Mu was extremely puzzled. Who was the person who reported her? Not many people knew about that. She did offend someone in Shades of Darkness, but it seemed like President Chen was very terrified of Li Yan. If he wanted to take revenge on her, he could straightaway do that to her. He did not need to use such a roundabout method. Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Qiao Mu had thought that she could deal with the matter easily. If she put on more pity-ys with her pleas she could have wiggled her way out yet.. But the department head was making things difficult. She said that the upper management of the university already knew about this. If she would not call her parents over, the university would. Qiao Mu was truly scared. She was at the end of her rope, so she had no choice but to seek Li Yan for help. Qiao Mu snuck into the Li familys mansion, but Li Yan was not at home. The butler noticed that she was somewhat anxious, so he said, Second Young Mistress Qiao, how about I give the young master a call. If we know when he returns, you dont have to wait in vain? Its alright, Uncle Chen. Im free anyway, so I can wait for a while longer. Dont worry about me, you can get on with your work. The butler did not dare to just ignore this important guest, so he kept serving fruits and desserts to Qiao Mu. This treatment toward Qiao Mu was better than the one she received in the Qiao family. Under regr circumstances Qiao Mu would have already dug in, but she was far too nervous at that moment. She was worried that Li Yan would not help her. After all, they had not parted with a happy note thest time. .. Inside Brilliant Dark Nights VVIP private room. Li Yan was ying mahjong with Su Chen and the rest. Li Yan had spent several consecutive nights with them to pass his time. This made Lu Jingzhi think that the big brother was still himself. Who said that man would spend all of his effort and time on the woman once he was in a rtionship? This was something only an undignified man would do! Li Yan tossed out a mahjong tile and Lu Jingzhiughed loudly, Ive won! Big brother, Im really sorry for winning twice. People always say if one will be unlucky at y when hes lucky in love. That saying is indeed true. It was rare for them to win money from Big Brother Li, he was quite the formidable yer. But they had won quite a number of times these past few nights. Li Yan opened the drawer of the mahjong table expressionlessly and took out a wad of cash before tossing it to Lu Jingzhi, Shut up and stop talking nonsense! This seemed to imply that he was not having luck in his love life. Lu Jingzhi was somewhat puzzled as he asked, Big brother, why dont you go and apany your niece? Your head isnt in the game right now. Li Yan pursed his lips in silence. Who knew where that little thing was enjoying herself now. She seemed to enjoy the absence of hispany. Su Chen nced at Li Yan and said indifferently, Big brother, I heard that Qiao Mu did not have an easy life in the Qiao family in the past years. Li Yans gaze fell onto the mahjong tiles, as his long arm reached out to take a tile. His expression was indifferent and calm when he said slowly, I know. Su Chen was stunned. He knew? He was acting this indifferent when he actually knew about it? This did not seem like his usual behavior! Back then, Li Yan would make Qiao Ya suffer more losses on other matters when she had just bullied Qiao Mu with words. LI Yan could not stand Qiao Mu receiving any mistreatment. Although he was only fifteen or sixteen years old back then with limited power, he still did everything he could to protect that young girl. It was obvious that Qiao Mu was having a hard life during his ten years of absence. But there he was, standing by the sidelines with folded arms. If Su Chen did not know Li Yans character and the importance Qiao Mu still held in his heart, Li Yans behavior would cause others to think that Qiao Mu was insignificant to him. However, Su Chen did not voice up his confusion when Li Yan continued with his indifferent voice, This is the punishment for her. Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen exchanged a nce, but both of them did not understand the meaning of Li Yans words. The three of them did not concentrate on ying mahjong, and Lei Yi, who was focused on ying mahjong won the round. Li Yan toppled the mahjong tiles, then stood up and left, I quit. Im leaving now. Lei Yi said, Young master, you still havent given me the money! Li Yan did not even look back, Youve won enough today. Dont be too greedy! Lei Yi thought to himself, Cant he just ept his loss and pay? Its not easy for me to win some. Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Lei Yi followed Li Yan to send him home, but the man held him back. Li Yan then drove himself back home. There were very little cars on the road at night, but Li Yan obeyed the speed limit. Of course he knew that throughout the years, Qiao Mu had a hard life in the Qiao family. That woman, Yu Tingyun was not what she seemed on the surface, whereas Qiao Ya was a spoiled rich girl who bullied others without caring about any repercussions. All of these were punishments for her. Li Yan thought that everything would change after ten years, but when they reunited and he fell into her trap once again, he then only realized that he would never be able to escape from her trap. He could write everything that happened back then off with one stroke. Back then, she was still young, so she did not know any better. But from now on, if she continued to behave badly Li Yan tightened his hands on the steering wheel. The young girl who was once obedient had turned into a clever and sly little fox. If she wanted to gain benefits from scheming, she better schemed toward the right direction! .. Li Yan entered the mansion and took off his coat before passing it to the butler. The butler said with a low voice, Young master, Second Young Mistress Qiao is here, and she has waited a very long time for you. Li Yan paused in his action of changing his shoes. He slipped on his slippers and looked at the empty living room, and asked, Where is she? The Second Young Mistress Qiao has waited for a really long time, so shes already fallen asleep on the couch now. That petite figure waspletely covered by the back of the couch. Li Yan walked over and then saw the figure who curled up on the couch. A nket was covering her body which was almost curled up into a ball. Her posture gave off a sense of extreme insecurity to others. Li Yan felt his heart throbbed in pain after he saw her appearance. Qiao Mu was not sleeping soundly, and she had many dreams through the mist of her sleep. She dreamt that Li Yan had returned, and he was unwilling to help her after she expressed her intention. Not only that, he wanted to bring her to Yu Tingyun to expose her. She suddenly jolted awake, and saw the man standing behind the couch after she raised her head. She was at a loss for quite a while beforeing back to her senses. She immediately leaped off the couch and straightaway threw herself into Li Yans arms. She cracked a wide smile with her eyes curved into half-moons, Uncle, youre back! Yes. Li Yan replied indifferently. Ive waited for you for so long! Her voice sounded like Li Yan had wronged her. Li Yan sat down on the couch and raised his head to look at her cordial and fawning attitude. He straightaway exposed her facade, Say, why are you looking for me? His cold attitude was just as she expected. It had already been a few days. No matter how angry he was, he should have calmed down by now, right? Qiao Mu did not dare sit down when Li Yan was sitting down. After all, she needed to ask for his help, so she could not be on the same level as him. She stood obediently before him with her head hung low, and she appeared pitiful and upset, Uncle, Im in trouble. Please help me. Li Yan gave her a side nce, Hmm? What trouble? I dont know who I had offended, but someone reported to the university that I was selling alcohol and beverages in Shades of Darkness. The university wants to have a talk with my parents about it. So? Li Yan raised his brows without batting an eyelid. Qiao Mu clenched her teeth fiercely as she was really angered by his indifferent attitude. She had already made it so clear to him, and he certainly understood her intention, but he was still pretending like he could not understand her! She raised her head and looked at him pitifully. Her big eyes were filled with her pleas, Uncle, can you please help me by going to the university and settle this matter for me? This young woman had already used honorific terms when she was begging him. Li Yan crossed his legs and leanednguidly on the couch. He looked up and stared at her, Qiao Mu, allow me to remind you that your parents are just next door. Did you enter the wrong house? Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Qiao Mu was left speechless. This person was really pushing her buttons! He was clearly protecting her from Lu Jingzhi before, and that familiar feeling onlysted for a while before he turned into the cold uncle in the blink of an eye! Qiao Mu endured the annoyance in her heart as she mumbled with a soft voice, I didnte to the wrong house! Im here for you! To ask me to handle your terrible mess? Mm-hmm! But I was also there when it happened. I saw you making mistakes and almost letting others take advantage of you with my own eyes. The person who reported you didnt falsely use you. You did do something wrong, and its right for the university to punish you. Qiao Mu was left speechless. He was clearly the bastard who took advantage of her! Also, Im not your guardian. Although Im ten years older than you, do you think Im old enough to be your parent? Qiao Mu was at a loss of words. Qiao Mu was certain now that the man was picking faults with her! He was absolutely doing this on purpose! His taunting and arrogant attitude made her extremely furious, but she did not have the guts to just turn away and leave. Her rationality was telling her that if she just left in a huff, she would close the door on herst solution. She did not have any other solutions apart from him. Qiao Mu hung her head in silence as she pouted upsetly, and she appeared extremely pitiful. She never made any mistakes since young not because she was naturally thoughtful and obedient, but because she did not want to taint her fathers reputation. Her existence had already smeared her fathers past. Her father had tantly ignored her and left her with her birth mother to survive on their own. But he still brought her back to the Qiao family under pressure. Regardless of how pleased Yu Tingyun and her daughter would be, how upset and disappointed her father would be if this incident was blown out of proportion? .. The young woman standing before him seemed like she had suffered an immense grievance. She appeared pitiful as she bit her lip in silence with tears welling up in her eyes. Li Yan slightly squinted as his deep ck eyes darkened a little. There was an undetectable emotion hidden deep within his eyes. He sighed and he sounded less indifferent, Why are you acting upset in front of me? Am I the one who bullied you? You dont want to help me! Her voice sounded like he was making a huge mistake by not helping her. Should I help when anyone justes and asks for my help? If thats the case, I would have died of exhaustion now! Its fine if you dont want to help me, but youre actually adding salt to my wound! Im just being truthful. Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, Qiao Mu did not want to argue with him any further. She definitely would not get the upper-hand in arguing with him anyway! She took a step forward and sat down next to him, as she lightly stroked him, Uncle, Im not just a random person. Im your woman. Li Yan nced at her, You only remember that youre mine after you get yourself into trouble? All the time! Stop being upset and feigning pity in front of me! But Im truly upset! Li Yans expression was cold as usual, and his voice sounded indifferent, Qiao Mu, dont think that Ill help you unconditionally. Qiao Mu was stunned as she suddenly felt a sadness in her heart. Back then, he used to treat her unconditionally well. He would always take her side and protect her. But it was different now! She nodded, I know, so Ill give you whatever you want. He instantly narrowed his ck eyes, Youll give? Apart from your body, what else can you give to me? Ill give it to you! She made the decision and nodded with her teeth clenched tightly together. But just as she finished saying that, the handsome face before her darkened. It was as if the word angry was clearly written across his face. Did she say something wrong again? Qiao Mu thought for a second before saying, I wont give it to you! But his expression was still very pissed. Qiao Mu was somewhat at a loss. She did not know what to do anymore. It was wrong to give him what he wanted, but it was also wrong to withhold what he wanted from him. What was she going to do? Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Qiao Mu hung her head and felt somewhat discouraged as she mumbled, Uncle, do you know that youre very hard to please? She was just asking him for a small favor! Why did he make things difficult for her like this? Li Yan raised his brow and a hint of contemtion shed across his cold eyes, Im very hard to please? Do you really remember who was actually pleasing the other person when you were lost in lust that night? Qiao Mus face immediately turned boiling red as she red embarrassedly at him, Pervert! This bastard! It was fine if he did not want to help her, but he was actually mocking her! Pervert? Qiao Mu, do you think its suitable for a pervert to y the role as your guardian to your university? Arent you afraid that the university will bring down the hammer? The meaning of his words was Qiao Mus eyes brightened, Uncle, youre willing to help me? Her eyes were twinkling brightly. She had been very upset a second ago, but she was bursting with life the next second. Suddenly, an ill-timed rumble came out from Qiao Mus stomach. She rubbed her stomach as her pretty face turned slightly red. Li Yan remembered that the butler said that she had waited for him for a very long time. He slightly squinted his ck eyes and asked, You havent had dinner? Yes. Qiao Mu nodded. She did not have the mood to eat right at that moment. Li Yan called the butler over and said, Uncle Chen, ask the kitchen to prepare some food. Young master, the food is already prepared so you can eat at any time. The butler said with a smile. Of course the butler knew that the young master would definitely instruct the kitchen to cook if he knew that Second Young Mistress Qiao had not eaten, so he had already asked the kitchen to prepare some food. Hence, they would be able to eat at any moments notice. Li Yan got up whereas Qiao Mu did not move from her seat. She started to act shamelessly, You still havent promised me to settle the matter yet, so I dont want to eat. Li Yan lowered his gaze to nce at her, So are you threatening me with your own health? You wont be threatened by it. You dont care about me at all! Qiao Mu mumbled angrily with a soft voice. What if I say that I care? The mans low voice sounded like a beautiful melody in Qiao Mus ears. She raised her head in shock as a hint of surprise shed across her eyes. Then that tall figure walked toward the dining room after saying three words with a firm voice, Eat your dinner! Qiao Mu grabbed the opportunity and followed smugly behind him, Uncle, youve agreed to help me already, right? I know youre the best! You certainly cant bear to see others bullying me! The department head said that Im a vain person who covet riches and honor! Your appearance will definitely give a good p on the other persons face and the other person will be taken by surprise! Li Yan stared at the tterer behind him and reminded her with a cold voice, Qiao Mu, dont be so pleased so soon. Alright. Qiao Mu immediately shut her mouth obediently. She definitely could not get dizzy with pride! .. Qiao Mu was satisfied with a hearty meal after dinner, but she did not dare to leave because she had not received an affirmative promise from Li Yan. She definitely could not return to Qiao familys mansion at that hour. She could only return to university, and she would naturally need Li Yan to send her back. However, Li Yan was watching television on the couch without showing any sign of sending her back. She only sat aside and waited for him to voice up. The television was showing a boring financial channel, and Qiao Mu was bored by the content. The iprehensible news sounded like a luby to her as her eyelids started to droop. Li Yans attention was not on the television program at all. He turned his head sideways to look at her. She was feeling sleepy and she straightaway fell asleep with her head tilted to the side in just a short while. She was like a piglet who could fall asleep at any time. Li Yan switched off the television. He stood up and carried her in her arms with careful motions before carrying her upstairs. Her body was very light, so light that he would only feel secure by holding her tightly in his embrace. Chapter 60 Chapter 60 The next morning. Qiao Mu woke up in the guest bedroom. She actually fell asleep beside Li Yanst night. Was she a pig? She remembered that she needed to call her parents to the office. It was the veryst day. Qiao Mu quickly tidied herself up and rushed out of the bedroom. However, Li Yan was not at home. The butler said that Li Yan went to thepany early in the morning. He also did not leave any messages to her, so Qiao Mu was unclear whether he was actually willing to help her. Qiao Mu braced herself as she reached the university. If?worse came to worst, she could plead and lie to the department head to extend the deadline for one more day. But when Qiao Mu met the department head once again, a smile immediately spreaded across the department heads serious face. Qiao Mu was at aplete loss when she faced this drastic change. The department head looked sorry when she said with a smile, Qiao Mu, Id misunderstood you, but why didnt you make yourself clear before? Im sorry for saying such inappropriate words to you before. Qiao Mu knew that Li Yan had definitely done something. She finally felt relieved. Qiao Mu was extremely curious how Li Yan managed to do that. Her cell phone started ringing and an unfamiliar number was showing on her cell phones screen. Qiao Mu answered the call, and the familiar voice on the other end of the phone sounded cold and deep, Youre in university now? Uncle! Qiao Mus voice sounded extremely happy. She thanked him sincerely, Thank you for helping me to settle this matter! The man on the other end of the phone seemed to enjoy the gratitude very much. Through the phone, Qiao Mu could sense that his attitude was not as cold. Qiao Mu immediately continued, Uncle, you dont even know how good the attitude our department head was toward me. She kept apologizing to me. What did you do to her? Nothing. I just said something to her. What did you say? Qiao Mu was curious. Li Yan smiled. He said with an indifferent tone to satisfy her curiosity, I said, do I look like I cant afford anything that my child wants? Qiao Mu was stunned. The department head had said that she went to the nightclub because of money, but Li Yans words could overthrow her argument entirely. Why did she have to worry about money if she had such a rich uncle? So it was definitely impossible for her to earn money in a nightclub. But who would have thought that such a rich man was actually very petty! Qiao Mu grimaced, Uncle, who is your child? Didnt you say that youre not old enough to be my parent? Thats because my dear niece likes to role y. So in order to satisfy your kink, I have no choice but to go along with you. pervert! My dear niece, if I really was a pervert, you wouldnt have been able to sleep soundly through the entire night. His words implied another meaning. Qiao Mu was left speechless as the corners of her mouth started to twitch. Was he taking credit for his sess? Save my number. If theres anything in the future, you can straightaway give me a call. Dont sneak into my house and wait for me again. He continued to say after a slight pause, Im going to go on a business trip for a few days. You better be good and dont get into trouble when Im not here. Uncle, youre overthinking. Im still alive all these years without you. Youre only gone for a few days, what can happen to me? Oh? Little thing, why do you sound like you have a huge resentment? Qiao Mu was speechless. What resentment! Li Yan chuckled, and hisugh made Qiao Mu feel even more ashamed and angry. The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became serious as he warned, Qiao Mu, remember what Ive said! Otherwise, Ill double my punishment for you when Ie back! Qiao Mu could sense the coldnessing from the man even through the cell phone. Everytime he called her by her name, it meant that this man was serious. Chapter 61 - 61: I Don ‘t Like Anyone Other Than You Chapter 61: I Don t Like Anyone Other Than You Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu did not dare to provoke him, so her tone softened instantly. She chuckled and said gently, Uncle, dont worry. Ill be good in school and study hard. I wont cause trouble! Its said that my niece has a lot of suitors. Her rumored boyfriend has even made it to the school forum. Let me think about who it isOh, right, its a kid with the surname Han. These words soundedzy, but the coldness in them was not concealed at all. Qiao Mu quivered. This mans neck was really long. It even reached into her school! Qiao Mu lowered her voice. Uncle, since hes a rumored boyfriend, then its all nonsense. They dont know, but dont you know? Other than you, I dont like anyone else! These half-joking words sounded very pleasant to Li Yans ears. The man was obviously satisfied with her words and said leisurely,Be good. Ill reward you when Ie back. His voice was a little softer and carried a trace of rare gentleness. It was as if he was sticking close to her ear and softly caressing it, causing Qiao Mu to be stunned for a moment. For some reason, she blushed. The sound of a key being turned came from the dormitory door. Qiao Mu panicked and immediately hung up the phone. Immediately after, the door was pushed open. Yao Shu entered and saw Qiao Mu holding the phone in a panic. Her face was slightly red and her expression was very unnatural. A trace of coldness shed across Yao Shut s eyes as she asked nonchntly, Mu Mu, who were you talking to on the phone just now? You hung up as soon as I came in. A friend. Why are you back? Dont you have a professional ss? Qiao Mu changed the topic. I came back to get something. Oh right, I heard that the school found out about you going to the nightclub. This is not a small matter. If it gets out of hand, you might be expelled. Are you okay? Yao Shu asked with concern. Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment before she smiled. Im fine now. After Yao Shu left, Chi Xia returned. When she saw Qiao Mu, Chi Xia shouted, Where have you been these past two days? Youre so mysterious. Did that womane looking for you again? No, Xiaxia, the school found out a few days ago that I was working at a nightclub. They asked me to hire my parents. I What? Before Qiao Mu could finish her sentence, Chi Xia interrupted in a panic, What should we do? Calling your parents is not a small matter. Dont tell me your family knows about this? It was normal for Chi Xia not to know about this. This incident had a negative impact and the school had not made it public. But why did Yao Shu know about Not many people knew that she went to the nightclub. Besides Chi Xia and Yao Shu, there was also Han Su who helped her. Qiao Mu didnt think too deeply about it and exined to Chi Xia with a smile, Dont panic. I havent finished speaking. Ive already solved it. I asked my uncle to help me. He happened to know that I went to the nightclub. He didnt tell you in advance because he was afraid that you would be worried. Oh, thats good! Chi Xia heaved a sigh of relief and blinked curiously. Qiao Mu, isnt your tall, rich, and handsome uncle a little too enthusiastic? How could such a busy person have the time to do such a small thing like this? He doesnt seem to be in cahoots with your stepmother! Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at her. Dont tell me youre interested in my uncle? If you dont keep your morals, be caretul that Illin to your Gu Cheng! Tsk, my Gu Cheng definitely believes me! As for you, dont fall into the trap of being tall, rich, and handsome. Qiao Mu ignored her. She remembered that she had just hung up on Li Yan, so she quickly sent him a message. Uncle, my phone ran out of battery just now. I didnt hang up on you on purpose.. Chapter 62 - 62: Dropping the Chain at the Critical Moment Chapter 62: Dropping the Chain at the Critical Moment Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus sudden hanging up made Li Yan very unhappy! This little thing had escaped at the critical moment! However, after a while, his phone vibrated. When Li Yan saw the content of the message, the corners of his mouth curled up. This was obviously a confession! His slender fingers tapped on the screen and quickly replied:What brand is your phone? It seems to have the ability to read Masters mind and choose to automatically shut down at the critical moment. Its a great help to Master. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched fiercely as she read the contents of the message. Just by reading this paragraph, she could feel the yfulness and ridicule of a certain man. Qiao Mu thought for a moment and quickly replied, Uncle, you have to believe me. Its really out of battery! A pitiful tearful emoji was added at the end of the text. Qiao Mu thought that the other party would not reply, but her phone soon rang. Next time you call me, make sure you have enough battery. I dont want to run into a situation where you drop the ball at such a critical moment again. Qiao Mu was speechless. If this continued, she would definitely be teased and bullied by him. She might as well put away the phone and not reply! On the top floor of the LSA-building. Li Yan did not receive a reply, but he was in a rare good mood. He could totally imagine the expression on the little girls face. He could not help but smile at the thought of her blushing from being so agitated by his words that she could not speak. At this moment, Lei Yi knocked on the door and came in. He happened to catch the smile on Li Yans lips that had yet to disappear. He was slightly stunned and looked away, pretending that he did not see anything. Young Master, you should leave for the airport. Li Yan stood up and picked up his coat from the hanger. He hung it on his arm and strode out. After walking out of the office, he paused and looked at Lei Yi. Keep an eye on Qiao Mu and the Qiao family while Im away. Yes, Young Master. Lei Yi replied. After Li Yan left, Qiao Mu went to ss every day as usual. After ss, she was busy earning extra money. She owed Chi Xia too much money, so she had to work non-stop to earn every penny. Qiao Mu was busy when she received Qiao Yas call. Qiao Ya never called her, so she was obviouslv uD to no good bv taking the initiative. After picking up the call, Qiao Ya said in her usual high and mighty manner, Qiao Mu, do you still remember Young Master Lin who was with me at the banquetst time? Young Master Lin is very interested in you. Youre really lucky to be invited by Young Master Lin. Last time, Young Master Lin said that he had a private party and asked me to invite you. You Im not interested! Qiao Mu interrupted Qiao Ya before she could finish her sentence. To be taken in by the second-generation official who only knew how to eat, drink, and y, saying that she was lucky? She really felt disgusted by Qiao Yas values! Qiao Yas tone changed. She was extremely annoyed by Qiao Mus attitude. Dont be ungrateful! Do you know who Young Master Lin is? Hes the mayors son. Do you know that the development of the Qiaos Enterprise depends on his word? As long as you get the favor of this young master, the Qiao Corporation will be able to get a big business deal. You dont know what thepany is like when youre not in thepany. Dont ruin my good thing! Sis, youre right. I dont work in thepany, so Im not in charge of thepany. Its your business what you want. Dont drag me down with you! Im going to ss now. Goodbye! she said coldly after a pause. Qiao Mu hung up the phone impolitely. Han Su had warned her that Lin Xian was not a good person, and it was even worse if he took a fancy to her. He didnt look for her for good things, but he thought of her for this kind of thing? Chapter 63 - 63: Qiao Ya, Who Had No Good Intentions Chapter 63: Qiao Ya, Who Had No Good Intentions Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu thought that this matter was over, but when she walked out of the school gate, she saw Qiao Yas car parked at the entrance. Qiao Ya got out of the car and stopped her. Qiao Mu, have you thought about what I told you? Sis, I told you Im not interested. Its useless for you toe and find me! Qiao Ya red at her angrily and anxiously. Isnt it just a gathering? Can I make you lose a piece of flesh? Do you know how important this is? In order to get the mayor to sign the approval document, Dad was so anxious that he was in a terrible state. You lived and ate in the Qiao family for so many years and provided for you to go to such a good university. When you were needed, you stood by and watched. How can you be so heartless? Qiao Mu sneered. Yo, you make it sound like you raised me. Aunt Yun has already decided to kick me out of the Qiao family, so why should I help you solve your problems? If Dad asked me for help, I could consider it, but youre not qualified! Qiao Yas expression was as unsightly as it could get. Qiao Jiannan had no idea about this at all. Qiao Ya was the one who approached Lin Xian, wanting to make a great contribution to thepany. Coincidentally, Lin Xian was so interested in Qiao Mu, so Qiao Ya wanted to push the boat with the current and directly push Qiao Mu into the pit. However, she did not expect him to reject her so straightforwardly! Qiao Yas face was livid with anger. Qiao Mu looked at her and said, Sister, I didnt enter thepany, so please dont think about me again if you encounter such things in the future! Qiao Mu left after saying this. Qiao Ya stood rooted to the ground and red at the back of the man. How could an illegitimate daughter live so freely? No matter what, Lin Xian was the mayors son. It was her honor to be able to take a fancy to her. Why was she pretending to be high and mighty? At this moment, a voice sounded from the side, Excuse me, are you Qiao Mus sister? Sorry, I overheard your conversation just now. Qiao Ya turned around and looked at the person who had just arrived. She asked impatiently, Who are you? Hello, Im Yao Shu, Qiao Mus roommate. Yao Shu smiled faintly. Sister, Qiao Mu has always been so condescending. Shes also like this in school, always offending people. Dont hold it against her. I know better than you what kind of person she is! Qiao Ya snapped back. She suddenly sensed something and sized Yao Shu up. You said youre Qiao Mus roommate? Is she not likable at all? This Were roommates. Even if shes difficult to get along with, Ill get used to her. Yao Shu lowered her head and whispered. Qiao Ya knew from her womanly instincts that Yao Shu definitely did not like Qiao Mu. Her tone was filled with hostility. It wasnt strange to think about it. An annoying person like Qiao Mu had a vicious mouth and no self-awareness, so it was normal for her to have many enemies! Qiao Ya smiled and her expression became more amiable. Yao Shu, right? Can you do me a favor? At night, Qiao Mu couldnt sleep, so shey in bed and yed with her phone in boredom. She opened WeChat and scrolled through her Moments. Suddenly, she remembered that Li Yans phone number was saved in her phone. She casually clicked on the add phone contact in WeChat. She did not have much hope at first, but she was surprised to find that Li Yan had opened WeChat! The WeChat name was L. Qiao Mu smiled slyly and added him as a friend. She was a little disappointed that the other party did not respond. She put her phone aside and was about to go to sleep when her phone rang. She clicked on it and saw that it was a message informing her that she had sessfully added him as a friend! Chapter 64 - 64-Anything! Shameless! Chapter 64:-Anything! Shameless! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu couldnt help but sigh. Li Yan was quite fashionable. He actually knew how to use a chat tool like WeChat! Qiao Mu immediately perked up andy on the bed, thinking about how to tease him. Who asked him to add strangers so casually! After thinking for a while, Qiao Mu greeted him first. Hi, handsome. The other party did not respond again. After three minutes, he replied, Blockhead? Do you know me? Qiao Mus WeChat ID was Wood. I dont know him! L: You dont know me, but you know Im handsome? Blockhead replied,lts just a form of address. You can also call me Beauty. L: Im sorry. I never say things that I dont mean. Qiao Mu was speechless. He didnt know who she was, so how could he be sure that she wasnt a beauty? He casually added friends of the opposite sex and even chatted with them. He even had the time to hook up with girls on a business trip. He did not have his usual cold image at all. This man was simply Too dirty! Qiao Mu pouted angrily and sent a shy emoji. Handsome, 419? Whats 419? Trante the three numbers in English. Ten seconds of silence, and then L, Alright,e on. Qiao Mu waspletely dumbfounded. This man was too casual! Instantly, he was very angry. He could not describe his emotions, but he was very unhappy! Qiao Mu was starting to suspect that the other party was not Li Yan, but the phone number was clearly his! Seeing that she didnt reply, the other party couldnt hold it in anymore and directly gave her a string of addresses. Imperial Hotel, Room 796. Qiao Mus expression changed again and again. She really did not know what to say, so she directly sent a string of dots over L: Do you need me to pay for the travel expenses? When Qiao Mu saw that he seemed to be very serious, she instantly felt a surge of anger in her chest! She threw her phone beside the pillow and buried her face in it angrily. This was too much! Who was the one who said it was his first time? She knew that his words could not be trusted. Such a casual man was simply How infuriating! Chi Xia, who was leaning against the headboard opposite her and reading a book, saw Qiao Mus puffed up face and asked in confusion, Whats wrong with you? Who provoked you in the middle of the night? Qiao Mu gritted her teeth in anger. As expected, all men are no good! .Chi Xia couldnt help butugh. Its as if youve been through a lot of men. Miss Qiao, let me remind you that youve never been in a rtionship before. Dont you think its unfair to say such things to your fellow men? Who said that she had never experienced a man before! Her phone rang a few more times. Qiao Mu took her phone and saw three messages. L: On the way? L: I dont have enough money for the travel expenses. I can pay you first. The third message was actually a transfer of 2,000 yuan from him to her on WeChat! Do you have money to spend? A randomizen directly transferred 2,000 yuan to the other party. It was simply too shameless! When she asked him for money, he had never been so generous and straightforward! Qiao Mu furiously tapped the screen to ept the transfer! He was willing to be deceived. It would be a waste not to ept it! Then, another message came.[2,ooo yuan is enough for the ne ticket and taxi fare from Beijing to S City!] Qiao Mu couldnt take it anymore and directly replied with seven words, Whatever! Shameless! You have no moral integrity! However, in the blink of an eye, she felt that something was wrong. She did not say anything, so how did he know that she was in Beijing? How did you know I was in Beijing? Qiao Mu asked hurriedly.. Chapter 65 - 65: I Have a Sense of Crisis Chapter 65: I Have a Sense of Crisis Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan looked at the silly message and the corners of his mouth curled up. He could imagine that her little face was scrunched up into a ball as she looked at her phone in shock. His fingers tapped on the screen and quickly sent out a message: Niece, Ive already received the money. Dont even think about going back on your word. Qiao Mu was instantly confused! He, he, heHe actually knew it was her? He knew from the beginning? So, he was deliberately teasing her? Qiao Mu hammered the bed surface with all her might. She was so embarrassed that she had nowhere to hide! Qiao Mu was puzzled for quite a while, but she still replied calmly, Niece? Handsome, are you a pervert? You actually fantasized about being with your niece My niece is a little pervert. Qiao Mu couldnt take it anymore and retorted, Youre the pervert! You pervert! Yeah, a big pervert and a little pervert. Theyre a perfect match. Qiao Mu was speechless. This bastard! Just as Qiao Mu was infuriated and her hair stood on end, she saw another line of text appear on the screen. Niece, you deliberately seduced me. Its really hard on you. Who was scheming? She was clearly just testing him! Qiao Mu sent a smiley face over and replied, Uncle, I was just joking with you. You actually saw through me! Hehe, youre so smart. This soft and fawning tone clearly meant that he had no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistake when he saw that the matter had been exposed. Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. The little girl was as sly as a little fox. Li Yan clicked on the functions on WeChat and found that the software was very convenient. Previously, he had heard from Lei Yi that the people in thepany were using WeChat to hand over work, video conferences, and so on, so he had asked Lei Yi to download one for him. After downloading it, his ount had been logged in, but he had never used it. He did not have any friends. Just now, when he was busy dealing with documents, his phone rang. He casually clicked on it and saw that someone had added him as a friend. He didnt see through this little thing calling him handsome, but this girl, who had always been well-behaved, dared to tease him in this way? Li Yan clicked on the video in his WeChat and dialed the number. Qiao Mu was waiting for his reply. It was a joke, so he probably wouldnt take it seriously. However, after a while, a video call appeared on her phone screen. She sat up quickly and hugged her phone for a few seconds. After confirming that the other party had not pressed the wrong button, she took her earphones and rushed into the bathroom under Chi Xias confused gaze. Qiao Mu calmed her breathing and epted the video call. She then smiled at the camera. Uncle, whats the matter? The man on the video screen had deep ck eyes, thin lips, and sharp facial features. He leaned backzily in his chair, his phoenix eyes closed and closed, and his long eyshes could be clearly seen. When he was in front of her, she did not dare to stare at him, but now, she did not have to worry at all. She stared at the handsome face on the screen without any scruples. 360 degrees without any blind spots. Even in front of the camera, he was still so handsome and eye-catching! The man raised his eyebrows, his eyes emitting a dangerous aura. He slowly said, Cant I see you for no reason? It seems that my niece provoked me first and didnt lure me into the trap. Im worried that youll go to someone else. This makes me feel very threatened. This light sentence instantly made Qiao Mu nervous. Even if this man wasnt by her side, she could still feel his powerful intimidation just by looking at his face through the video. However, thinking that he was far away from her now and could not do anything to her, the little nervousness in her heart quickly disappeared.. Chapter 66 - 66: Uncle and I Are in Love Chapter 66: Uncle and I Are in Love Trantor: 549690339 She coughed lightly andughed awkwardly. Uncle, I was just joking with you. I thought you would be bored when you went on a business trip, so I was just teasing you. Im not joking with you. Since youve epted my money, dont go back on your word. Qiao Mu was speechless. How could he be so shameless! The man continued to speakzily. Little thing, you really know a lot. I learned a new thing from you today. It seems that you often 419! Qiao Mus expression instantly darkened. Her small face instantly lost its arrogance. She blinked her big eyes pitifully and said, Uncle, dont use me. You know very well whether I often do that or not! She had clearly given her first time to him! Im not sure! After a pause, his dangerous voice sounded again.lf not often, then asionally asionally your sister! Just once! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and confessed honestly. Hmm? Thats right, with uncle That time. Qiao Mu mumbled in a very, very soft voice. Almost as soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, the mans expression instantly darkened. Even through the phone screen, Qiao Mu could still feel that coldness. She seemed to have identally provoked him again! Oh? A gloomy voice sounded. So thats 419! Qiao Mu quivered and quickly shook her head and waved her hands. No, no, Uncle and I are in love! Uncle, my brain is already in a dormant state at this time, so I cant wrap my head around it. What I said just now was nonsense! Li Yan watched her carefully exin and snorted coldly. His expression softened a little. Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief. In order to change the topic, she asked with a smile, Uncle, how did you know it was me? I dont have a photo of me on WeChat. I just casually said a few words and you guessed it was me! Because I can feel that you are my little pervert! Qiao Mu was speechless. Looking at her dazed expression, Li Yan chuckled and exined kindly, Idiot, you can find me through your phone contacts, but cant I find you through your phone number? Qiao Mu suddenly came to a realization and pped her own forehead. She was simply too stupid! How could she not have thought that they both had phone numbers? As long as she added him, he would automatically notify her that she was in his contacts list! Uncle, when are youing back? Qiao Mu asked with a smile. Did you miss me? Could she say that she didnt want to? Li Yan did not wait for her reply and said calmly, Go back the day after tomorrow. Niece, dont be anxious. If you dare to hook up with someone else and y some 419 No, no, absolutely not! Uncle, dont worry! Qiao Mu immediately interrupted Li Yan before he could finish. Li Yan was satisfied with her performance, so he let her go. Qiao Mu returned to her bed and finally heaved a sigh of relief. After this ordeal, she was both physically and mentally exhausted, and it was difficult for her not to feel sleepy. Chi Xia ced the book in her hand on the bed and looked at her in confusion. Mu Mu, why did you hide in the bathroom? You cant be Are you dating online? . Could an online rtionship hook up with such a domineering and rich CEO? Chi Xia saw her indifferent look and said seriously, Dont go astray. There are many scammers on WeChat. Look at Yao Shu, who has been acting mysterious recently. She didnte back tonight. Could she be dating online? Qiao Mu nced at the empty bed at the side and felt drowsy, so she didnt have the mood to care about others.. Chapter 67 - 67: Swindled to the Thief’s Nest Chapter 67: Swindled to the Thiefs Nest Trantor: 549690339 At the same time, in the room of the Imperial Hotel in S City. Li Yan stood on the balcony and leaned against the railingzily. His eyes were glued to the phone screen. There was a photo on his phone screen. He had casually taken a screenshot of Qiao Mu during the video call just now. In the photo, Qiao Mus eyes were narrowed and her lips were pouting. Her expression was extremelyical. Li Yan returned to his room and continued with his work. His mood for the night had been disturbed by this little thing. He was a little restless and wanted to finish his work immediately and go back to see his little thing. When Qiao Mu woke up the next morning, she received a message from Li Yan. It was a photo with two words, How ugly! Qiao Mu was already fuming early in the morning. She gritted her teeth in hatred as she looked at the screenshot! Too despicable! Who asked him to secretly take such an ugly picture? Qiao Mu was on her way back to the dormitory after ss when she received a call from Yao Shu. When Yao Shu was tutoring someone, she forgot to bring the materials. She had already arrived. If she came back to pick them up and rushed back, it would be toote, so she asked her to help deliver the materials. Yao Shus tone was very anxious. Mu Mu, I was really too careless. You took a taxi here. Ill reimburse the fare for the return trip. My family is very rich as a tutor and the fees they give me are not low. I dont want to be fired because of my negligence. You have to help me. Qiao Mu asked for the address. It was a vi in the suburbs, and it was indeed not close. It would take about two hours to get there and back, and the sky was about to turn dark. Since there was nothing else to do, Qiao Mu agreed. He went back to the dormitory to get Yao Shus things and took a taxi to his destination. When Qiao Mu arrived at the address Yao Shu gave her, she was about to call Yao Shu when she opened her phone and saw a message from Yao Shu. Mumu, Ive already informed this family. Come in and give me the things. Im watching the child do his homework and its not convenient for me to go out. Qiao Mu didnt think too much about it. She found the vi that Yao Shu mentioned, but the door was not closed. There were several luxury cars parked in the courtyard of the vi. Rock music could be heard ying in the house. This noisy atmosphere did not seem like an environment for children to study. Qiao Mu stood in front of the door and suddenly realized that something was amiss. She turned around and was about to leave when the door opened, and Qiao Ya appeared inside. Qiao Ya did not give Qiao Mu any time to think. She grabbed Qiao Mus wrist and dragged her into the house. Sis, what are you doing? Qiao Mu, since youre already here, dont leave! Qiao Ya smiled smugly and closed the door. Qiao Mu instantly understood, and her expression turned cold. Wheres Yao Shu? Shes not here. Qiao Mu, what kind of friend did you make? She knew what I was going to do and immediately said she wanted to help me. Your social rtions are really bad! Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered to waste her breath on her. She turned around to open the door, but Qiao Ya stopped her. Qiao Ya lowered her voice. Qiao Mu, its already this time. Dont be so ungrateful! The people here today are all young masters and daughters of rich families. Just deal with Young Master Lin and nothing will happen! Qiao Ya, thats enough! Let me tell you, youd better let me go. If I stay, Ill definitely mess up this situation! How dare you! Young Master Lin is upstairs, keep your voice down! Qiao Mu, I know you dont want to help me, but its true that thepany is in trouble. Thepany belongs to Dad, and youre a member of the Qiao family. You have an obligation to help! Qiao Mu sneered, finding it extremely ironic.. Did he suddenly remember that she was a member of the Qiao family? Chapter 68 - 68: The Woman Young Master Lin Fancy Can I t Escape Chapter 68: The Woman Young Master Lin Fancy Can I t Escape Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Ya continued to persuade her. Qiao Mu, you dont know thepanys situation. If thepany cant get this piece ofnd from the city government, itll be very difficult for it to develop. Im not lying to you. Thepanys situation has been very bad recently, and it needs this project! What can you do if you help me? I promise that as long as Im here, nothing will happen to you. As long as you apany Young Master Lin! Qiao Mu was disdainful. You promise? Will your promise work? Its not good for me if something happens to you. If Dad finds out, Ill be in trouble too! Qiao Ya red at her angrily. Im begging you, okay? Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly. She did not trust Qiao Ya. In such a remote ce, if anything happened, she would not have the chance to ask for help. At this moment, someone came downstairs. Xiao Ya, didnt you pick up your sister? Is she here yet? Young Master Lin is waiting for you! Qiao Ya responded and dragged Qiao Mu upstairs. Qiao Mu regretted it the moment she went upstairs. The room was filled with men and women, and it was a mess. The room was filled with smoke and alcohol, and the smell was extremely unpleasant. The man sitting in the middle of the sofa was Lin Xian. He had a cigarette in his mouth and a woman in his arms. The woman was dressed sexily and was snuggled in his arms. Seeing Qiao Mu walk over, Lin Xians greasy face was filled with smiles. He freed one hand and waved at Qiao Mu. Beauty, youre finally here. Come over quickly and sit with me. Qiao Mu felt disgusted. Qiao Ya pushed her from behind and reminded her softly, Youre already here. Dont cause trouble. Hurry up and go over! Faced with such a chaotic situation, Qiao Mu only wanted to leave as soon as possible. She coldly said, Young Master Lin, I still have sses at school. Ill go back first today. Qiao Ya secretly gritted her teeth and smiled. Her tone was filled with a hidden warning. Mu Mu, youre such a disobedient child. Young Master Lin is going to be angry if you reject him like this. This little stubborn temper is just what I want! Lin Xianughed. Little girl, isnt school boring? Come,e over here. Ill let you try something interesting. I guarantee that youll fall in love with it once you try it. In the future, youll stick to me every day. After Lin Xian finished speaking, he winked at the man standing beside him. The man took out a small box filled with bags of white flour. Master Lin, youre so biased. We want it too! Whats the rush? The game has just started tonight. Everyone has a share! Qiao Mus expression instantly changed when she saw this. Although she had nevere into contact with it before, she could tell at a nce that it was a drug! Qiao Mu took a step back, her face cold and disdainful. Young Master Lin, Im not interested in this thing. Youll be interested in it in a while. Ill make you love it to death. Lin Xian took a whiff of a bag of white flour, his face filled with enjoyment. Noisy cheers filled her ears. Men and women were screaming, and the music was boiling. The hellish atmosphere made Qiao Mu feel fear. You wont get addicted to this thing once. Qiao Ya said softly, not intending to stop him at all. Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock. She had always thought that Qiao Ya was just a spoiled young miss with a bad temper and a decent character. She never expected that she would say such words! Even if their rtionship wasnt good, they were still sisters. Qiao Ya actually pushed her into the fire pit with her own hands! Qiao Mus face was ashen. Young Master Lin, you guys have fun. Ill take my leave first. Qiao Mu had just turned around when someone blocked her way. One of the menughed at the top of his voice. Little girl, you have to satisfy Young Master Lin if you want to leave. Theres no one Young Master Lin cant take down! [A new day, rmended tickets Chapter 69 - 69: Shocked Chapter 69: Shocked Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus heart was already in a mess, but she pretended to be calm. Its illegal for you to gather together to take drugs. Move aside, Im not leaving. Im going to call the police! Call the police? The group of peopleughed as if they had heard a huge joke. Little girl, are you telling a joke? Even the police chief has to listen to Young Master Lins father. Do you think its useful to call the police? Qiao Mus face paled. Just because she had a backer, she could bewless? Qiao Mu was anxious and immediately rushed downstairs. However, she had only taken a few steps when two men lifted her up and dragged her to Lin Xian. Bastard, let me go! Lin Xian stood up and stared at Qiao Mu lecherously. His gaze swept over her from top to bottom before revealing a disgusting smile. He reached out to touch Qiao Mus face. Truly stunning. Even though theyre sisters, the gap between them is really huge. Tsk tsk, this little face is so clean that water can be squeezed out! Qiao Yas expression changed. She had thought that she would be done dealing with Lin Xian and that Qiao Mu would be fine even if she suffered a little. She never expected Lin Xian to take out such a forbidden item. Qiao Ya smiled as she stepped forward. Young Master Lin, since you like her, let her apany you. However, its fine if shes a white fan. She doesnt have the fortune to do so. That wont do. Such a beautiful girl, it would be a pity if we dont light her up. Everyone here today is going to get high. Lin Xian paused and looked at Qiao Ya. Including you! Qiao Ya forced a smile. She had heard that Lin Xian was actinz recklesslv, but she didnt expect him to be so reckless. If she had known earlier, she wouldnt have provoked him! Qiao Mu struggled with all her might and red at the group of people in front of her. You bastards! Lin Xian smiled sinisterly. You have such a bad temper. Youll get excitedter. Lin Xian handed the white powder to Qiao Mu, and Qiao Mu raised her leg and kicked Lin Xian. The other party was caught off guard and fell onto the sofa. Before anyone could react, Qiao Mu picked up the wine bottle and smashed it forcefully on the marble coffee table. She raised the broken wine bottle and waved it in front of her like a wild cat.He red fiercely at the person who was about to step forward. Donte over! Qiao Ya was shocked. Qiao Mu, what are you doing? Put down the bottle and apologize to Young Master Lin! she roared. Lin Xians expression was ugly. He stood up and walked toward Qiao Mu. I want to see what kind of waves you can stir up! The more you resist, the more it provokes me! Just as Lin Xian approached, Qiao Mu raised her wine bottle in shock and swung it at him. The sharp ss fragments scraped across Lin Xians face, instantly turning it into a pool of blood. Immediately after, a scream like a pig being ughtered sounded. Lin Xian covered his face and screamed. The scene instantly went out of control. Hurry up and catch her. F * ck, how dare she cut my face? Ill suck her to death with my ***. Dont even think about walking out of here today! Qiao Mu was so frightened that her entire body was trembling, and her mind was nk. She clenched her teeth tightly, brandished the wine bottle, and retreated bit by bit. Whoever wants to die,e over! Qiao Mus aura was extremely frightening, and her eyes were bloodshot. The people here were all young masters who had been pampered since they were young. Seeing that Lin Xian was injured, no one dared to step forward, afraid that they would be the next to be injured. The stairway was blocked, and Qiao Mu could not escape. She slowly retreated to the door of a room and quickly entered the room, locking the door from the inside. There were all kinds of shouts outside, the sound of banging on the door, and the sound of music. It was chaos. Qiao Mus face was deathly pale, and her legs went limp as she sat on the ground. She threw away the broken wine bottle in her hand and took out her phone with trembling hands. She opened her contact list and dialed a number.. Chapter 70 - 70: Li Yan, Save Me Chapter 70: Li Yan, Save Me Trantor: 549690339 The ice-cold phone pressed against her ear made Qiao Mus body tremble uncontrobly. In such a desperate situation, the only person she could think of to ask for help was Li Yan. The phone beeped. It only sounded for a few seconds, but it made her heart sink. The call was suddenly connected, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Qiao Mus eyes. She almost choked as she shouted, Li Yan, save me At the Capital Airport, Li Yan had just gotten off the ne. He finished his work in S City two hours earlier than nned. Li Yan walked towards the exit with steady steps. Lei Yi followed behind him and gave a detailed report on thepanys situation over the past few days. At this moment, her phone rang. Li Yan lowered his head to look at his phone. His deep and cold ck eyes were still cold, but there was a glimmer of light in the depths of his eyes. His thin lips curled up slightly, and his finger touched the answer button. This little thing, her call came at the right time. He told her to call him if anything happened. Could it be that she had caused trouble again? Just as Li Yan was about to speak, the moment the call went through, a panicked voice came from the other end.Li Yan, save me The phone was noisy. In an instant, Li Yans eyes darkened. The hoarse pleading voice on the phone grabbed his heart tightly. Qiao Mu frantically called for help on the phone, but just as she spoke, a loud bang sounded from behind her, as if something heavy had hit the door. She was so frightened that she lost her grip on her phone and dropped it to the ground. After the call ended, Qiao Mu did not know if Li Yan heard what she said. She bit her lip fiercely and tried her best to calm herself down. Just as she was about to call him again, the door handle fell off and the door was pushed open. Almost out of reflex, Qiao Mu picked up the broken wine bottle. Outside the room, there was a roar. Hurry up and drag her out! Damn it! If I dont torture her to death today, my surname wont be Lin! Qiao Mus face was deathly pale as she red fiercely at the person at the door. Even though she was trembling in fear, she still held onto the wine bottle tightly, as if she would stab anyone who stepped forward to death. A long stick suddenly reached in from outside the door and struck Qiao Mus arm, causing the wine bottle in her hand to instantly fall to the ground. Then, a group of people pounced forward and restrained her. Bastard, let go of me and get lost! Qiao Mu struggled as she was dragged in front of Lin Xian. Lin Xians pig-like face had already been bandaged. Heughed wretchedly and grabbed Qiao Mus hair. F * ck, if you offend me, forget about you, even your Qiao family will be in trouble. If you serve me wellter, I can give you a chance to turn over a new leaf! Qiao Mus eyes were bloodshot. Bastard, if you dare to touch me, Ill definitely perish together with you! When Qiao Ya heard that the Qiao family was going to suffer the same fate, her face instantly turned pale. She walked forward and gave Qiao Mu a tight p. Shut up! I told you to apany Young Master Lin, did you hear me? If you want to die, dont drag the Qiao family down with you! Qiao Mu red fiercely at Qiao Ya. Qiao Ya, you better pray that Im fine. If anything happens to me today, Ill definitely make you pay the price! Lin Xian waved his arm and shouted impatiently, Send her to the room and tie her up on the bed! Qiao Ya saw that the situation waspletely out of control and that the Qiao family would be implicated. She was so scared that she quietly slipped out of the vi through the back door. Qiao Mus heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. She struggled desperately in despair, and the strength in her body was slowly being drained away. At this moment, amotion came from outside. [Todays update is over. Uncle is about to make his appearance.. The girl who is silently watching the novel, do you dare toe out and make a scene?] Chapter 71 - 71: She Wanted to Kill the Person Who Bullied Her Chapter 71: She Wanted to Kill the Person Who Bullied Her Trantor: 549690339 At this moment, amotion came from outside. Immediately after, the door of the vi was pushed open. A group of men in ck barged in and surrounded everyone. The scene was instantly chaotic. Outside the vi, a helicopternded. The man in the cabin swept over like a storm. Almost the moment the helicopternded, the man had already jumped off the ne. The night was slightly cold, but it could not resist the bone-piercing chill on the mans body. The tall ck figure walked with firm and steady steps. Although he looked steady, the speed of his steps revealed his urgency. Qiao Mus mind was in a mess. When she saw a group of men in ck rushing in, shepletely despaired, thinking that they were Lin Xians subordinates. She only wanted to protect herself. Even if she died, she would never be humiliated! She used all her strength to break free from the person who was controlling her. She quickly rushed to the table, grabbed a pair of scissors, and aimed them at her neck. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the group of people in front of her. Her voice was almost hysterical. If you touch me again, Ill die here! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and gripped the scissors tightly. Her mind was tense and her entire body was trembling. As long as someone stepped forward, she would definitely not show any mercy. The group of people was shocked by Qiao Mus roar, and when they looked at the ck-clothed man who had barged in, they all turned to look at Lin Xian. Young Master Lin, why did you call so many people here? Its just a woman. Theres no need to make such a big scene, right? Lin Xian was shocked for a long time before he reacted. He pointed at the man in ck and said angrily,Whose people are you? How dare you barge into my private house! Lin Xian had just finished speaking when he saw a tall figureing up from the stairs. That figure swept past him like the wind. Qiao Mus mind was nk, and she couldnt hear any conversation. Her eyes started to moisten uncontrobly, but she gritted her teeth so that her tears wouldnt fall. Suddenly, she felt footsteps approaching. Her vision was blurry and she could not see who it was. Without thinking. she raised the scissors and stabbed it at her neck. It seemed like she was going to die here! However, before the hand holding the scissors could touch his neck, his wrist was firmly held. A low and slightly hoarse voice sounded beside her ear.Qiao Mu, its me! This voice Qiao Mus eyes widened abruptly, and her tears fell as she saw the familiar face in front of her. She didnt believe what she was seeing and was afraid that she was hallucinating. She didnt dare to rx for a moment and stared at him without blinking. Li Yan raised his hand to take the scissors from her hand, but she held it tightly. His heart twitched violently. Her face was as white as paper, her lips were pale, her hair was messy, and she looked very miserable. Her eyes were filled with panic and despair. Her eyes, which should have been as clean as water, were now filled with blood. Li Yans anger instantly reached its peak. That lively little thing was actually in such a state at this moment. It made his heart ache so much that he wanted to kill the person who bullied her! The little woman that he couldnt bear to teach a lesson was actually bullied to this extent by others? He lowered his voice and said slowly, Qiao Mu, Im here. Everythings fine now. Put down the scissors. It was Li Yans voice! Qiao Mu was certain that this was Li Yans voice! The face in front of him was indeed Li Yan! In an instant, all his tensed nerves rxed. Her body felt like it had been pulled out of her bones. All her strength had disappeared, and she fell limply to the ground. There was only one thought in her mind, Li Yan was here! She was safe! Chapter 72 - 72: Completely Enraged Young Master Li Chapter 72: Completely Enraged Young Master Li Trantor: 549690339 At this moment, Lin Xian roared, How dare you bring people to barge into my Ah! Lin Xian had just finished speaking when the pair of scissors that he had taken from Qiao Mus hand flew over and stabbed into his thigh. Following a ghostly wail and a wolfs howl, the group of young masters werepletely flustered. They were so scared that they did not dare to make a sound. Qiao Mu was startled and looked over when she heard the voice, but arge hand reached out in front of her eyes and blocked her vision. Then, his body was lifted up. Li Yan picked up Qiao Mus limp body and carefully held her trembling body in his arms. He pressed her face against his chest so that she would not be frightened in the slightest. His actions were extremely gentle. In the next moment, he raised his ck eyes, revealing a cold glint. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. Li Yans expression was frighteningly cold, and the cold air around him was threatening. Everyone could not help but shiver. Lin Xians leg was still tied with scissors. He was in so much pain that he did not dare to move. He hugged his thigh and knelt on the ground. He raised his head and red at Li Yan. Li, I think youre courting death. You know who my father is, yet you still dare to hurt me. Today, you offended me because of this woman. Dont even think about making a living in Beijing in the future! The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up, revealing a bloodthirsty coldness. He looked down at Lin Xian condescendingly. The mayors son? Your fathers proud status will soon be destroyed by a son like you who is dragging him down! Lin Xian was frightened by this coldness, but he still pretended to be brave and roared, What are you talking about? Didnt you alsoe to get close to me, the mayors son, for thend in the north of the city? If you provoke me, youre courting death. No matter how big the Li Corporation is, I can make it go bankrupt! Even if you save this b * tch now, Ill get her sooner orter! Li Yans pupils constricted, and his entire body emitted a dangerous aura. His voice sounded coldly, Seal his mouth. Lei Yi stepped forward and sealed Lin Xians mouth with tape. Two men in ck came to Lin Xians side and pressed him to the ground. Li Yan walked up to Lin Xian and lifted his leg. He stepped hard on the scissors that were stuck in Lin Xians thigh. The scissors that were originally only stuck on the surface instantly pierced deep into Lin Xians thigh. In an instant, the flesh and blood became a mess, and the sound of scissors mixing flesh and blood could be vaguely heard. Lin Xian whimpered, but he couldnt make a sound. His expression was ferocious and scary. Thank you for your reminder. A dangerous person like you really cant be left alive. A light voice slowly sounded, but it was as terrifying as a bloodthirsty Rakshasa. Lei Yi stood at the side and watched silently. It was rare to see the young master angry. This time, the young master was really angry. Li Yan felt the little woman in his arms trembling. He put away his coldness and carried her out. His footsteps did not stop. He only said, Gathering to take drugs andmit adultery. This is not a small crime. Beat him up and let Chief Sue over to take him away. The mayors son has broken thew, so he has to be treated equally. After Li Yan finished speaking, he had already left with Qiao Mu in his arms. The little woman in his arms was clutching his clothes tightly, and her nervousness was still there. Heughed softly, but there was no joy in hisughter. His cold voice sounded above her head. Little thing, you gave me such a big surprise as soon as I came back. It seems that you didnt take my advice seriously at all! [Its a new day. Suying is here for rmendation tickets again..] Chapter 73 - 73: Offended His Bottom Line Chapter 73: Offended His Bottom Line Trantor: 549690339 He had said that he was not allowed to cause any trouble after he left for a few days. Qiao Mu bit her lip and shrank into his embrace. Her face was pale, and she did not dare to move at all. She had yet to recover from the shock, and her heart was still beating wildly. Hearing the usation in his words, the grievance in her heart exploded in an instant, and tears flowed uncontrobly. Li Yan carried the little woman in his arms into the car. When he lowered his head, he saw her crying silently. She looked so aggrieved. When he thought of how she had stabbed him in the neck with a pair of scissors, his heart sank. He didnt dare to imagine what would have happened if he hade a stepter! Li Yan took a tissue and wiped her face. His tone was still unpleasant, but there was a hint of helplessness. You still know how to call me for help at a time like this. Youre notpletely scared silly. Qiao Mu bit her lip and couldnt hold it in any longer. She burst into tears. Li Yan, you bastard! Im already in this state, yet youre still ming me and ming me. Do you know that I was almost bullied by a bad person just now? I almost died, sob sobYou almost didnt get to see me. At that time, youll regret it for the rest of your life Li Yan narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous glint shed across his eyes. He lowered his head and sealed her lips. Make him regret it for the rest of his life? This little thing was really bold! Qiao Mus eyes widened as the overbearing kiss assaulted her face, tears still flowing out of her eyes. After the fright just now, Qiao Mu was like a frightened bird. When he touched her, she subconsciously struggled and her body tensed up. He hugged her tightly with both arms, but the strength of his embrace was very light, and she did not feel a trace of coercion. His tongue forcefully pried open her teeth and did whatever he wanted in her mouth, messing up her nerves. Her body rxed bit by bit, and her resistance and struggle gradually disappeared. She leaned weakly against his chest. After a while, he left her lips and stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his lips. His face was filled with disgust. Its so salty. Then, he took two tissues and wiped her crying face. He warned, Stop crying! Youre being bullied and youre not allowed to cry! Qiao Mu sniffled as she red at him, herrge watery eyes pitifully looking at him. Li Yan pressed her head on hisp and said in a low voice, Lie down quietly for a while and reflect on yourself. Reflect on what? With him by her side, Qiao Mupletely rxed. Shey obediently on hisp, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. Li Yan looked down at her face and narrowed his dark eyes. He took out his phone and dialed Lei Yis number. He said in an extremely low and cold voice, I dont want to see him standing in front of me alive again! Li Yan put away his phone. The coldness on his face did not diminish. He did not kill her because the little one was there. He did not want her to see the other side of him. She did not need to know how cruel he was. Those who vited his bottom line would only die! At the Li familys vi. Li Yan stood by the bed and looked at the sleeping Qiao Mu. Even in her sleep, she was still frowning uneasily, as if she was disturbed by a nightmare. All along, this little thing had been clever and slick. When facing him, she was like a little fox, so smart. Even if she was bullied, she would only pretend to be pitiful. She was so bold that she did not care about the consequences. He had always thought that she should be like this. Even if she was like a fox with a little scheme, she was still as lively as a little rabbit. This was the first time he had seen her cry so hard. She must have been really frightened by what happened tonight.. Chapter 74 - 74: It’s Only Right for Uncle to Save Me Chapter 74: Its Only Right for Uncle to Save Me Trantor: 549690339 Thinking about it, it made sense. Although she had been bullied in the Qiao family, she had never experienced such an unbearable experience. There was a reason for tonights incident. It was impossible for Lin Xian to directly call Qiao Mu to the vi in the suburbs. It was obvious that someone had pulled strings. Li Yans cold eyes darkened when he thought of Qiao Ya who was beside Lin Xian at the banquet that day. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. When Li Yan saw the iing call, his thin lips curled up coldly. His deep, cold eyes were filled with endless coldness. He went to the balcony and picked up the phone. Mayor Lin, is there something you need from me? Li Yan! How dare you! Mayor Lin Changhuas furious voice sounded from the other end of the phone. Youre so arrogant that you dare to talk to my son. I think youre courting death! If anything happens to my son, I want your Li family to be buried with him! Faced with Lin Changhuas anger, Li Yans tone was veryzy. Mayor Lin, youre really angry. I heard that the mayors son broke thew and was taken away by Chief Su. What does this have to do with me? Dont use Chief Su as an excuse. Even if I dont get along with him, you cant take advantage of the situation. Let me tell you, if you dare to touch my son, Ill make sure you cant stay in Beijing! Li Yan chuckled softly. Mayor Lin, I heard that your sons mental state was affected by drugs, which led to his self-harm. You cant pin the crime on me without evidence. You! Li Yan, no matter how powerful you are, youre still overseas! Lin Changhua roared in anger. This is my territory, just you wait! Your territory? Li Yans expression was unusually cold in the night. His voice was sinister. Mayor Lin, Ill wait and see. Id like to see if you can make the decision in Beijing! In the room, Qiao Mu suddenly woke up with a start, and a thinyer of sweat appeared on her forehead. After a while, she realized that she was lying on Li Yans bed. After making sure that the nightmare was over, he heaved a sigh of relief. Youre awake? A voice sounded from beside the bed. She turned her head and saw Li Yans expressionless face. Qiao Mus emotions had already stabilized. The series of events that happened tonight slowly squeezed into her mind. She looked at him with sincere gratitude. Uncle, thank you for saving me. And then? And then? Qiao Mu blinked herrge eyes nkly. Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. Little thing, do you think youll be fine just because you said thank you? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. He had done a good deed, so why couldnt he be more generous?! She looked at him innocently and said softly, Uncle, Im yours. Shouldnt you save me? This self-righteous tone Li Yan narrowed his long and narrow eyes and stared at her with a deep gaze. After a while, he said,You have a sharp tongue! The emotions on his face were unclear, and one could not see any anger, but Qiao Mu could vaguely sense a trace of unease. The mansrge handnded on her head and ruffled her messy hair. Go take a shower ande out for dinner. Qiao Mu nodded. Then, in the next second, she heard the mans cold voice again. After that, well settle the score properly! Settle ounts? What debt? Qiao Mus body instantly stiffened. She had already been bullied, yet he still dared to settle scores with her? [It ends today. It will be updated after midnight every night..] Chapter 75 - 75: How Should I Teach You a lesson? Chapter 75: How Should I Teach You a lesson? Trantor: 549690339 After Qiao Mu finished showering, the servants had already brought the dishes into the bedroom. She ate her dinner in high spirits, and she felt much more energetic. Thinking about everything that happened tonight, she still felt a little scared. After all, the other party was the mayors son, not someone ordinary people could offend! Qiao Mu was a little worried. She looked at Li Yan and could not help but ask, Uncle, what are you going to do if you offend the mayor? Li Yan leanedzily on the sofa with his legs crossed. He cast a sidelong nce at the worried little fellow and said nonchntly, You still have the energy to think about this. It seems that youre fine. You should worry about yourself now. Tell me honestly, why are you in Lin Xians private vi? Qiao Mu pouted and snorted coldly. Shes still not your biological niece! Li Yans eyes darkened. As expected! Qiao Mu, are you a pig? You went just because she told you to? Or are you willing to go there for the sake of the Qiao Corporation? Qiao Mu was unhappy when she heard that. She red at him with her big eyes and retorted, I was tricked. Qiao Ya and my ssmate conspired to trick me into delivering something. After I went, I found out that Qiao Ya had set up a trap, so I couldnt leave. Do you need me to help you deal with that ssmate of yours? Qiao Mu was stunned, and a cold glint shed across her eyes. Theres no need. Ill handle this matter myself! Thest time she was reported to the nightclub, it must have had something to do with Yao Shu. She didnt pay much attention to it at that time, but this time, Van Shil helped Oian Va lip in her She had always treated Van Shil as a friend but she didnt expect to be schemed against by her friend. Li Yan saw the determination in Qiao Mus eyes, but he did not say anything else. This was his little one. She would definitely take revenge and would not let herself be at a disadvantage. If she was bullied, she would definitely seek revenge herself! What bothered Qiao Mu was that Li Yan did not mention Qiao Ya. She was disappointed, but it was within her expectations. After all, she was her niece. He could not possibly help an outsider like her teach his cousins family a lesson, right? Just as Qiao Mu was letting her thoughts run wild with her head lowered, a tall figure approached her. She abruptly raised her head and met his bottomless ck eyes. She was shocked. In the next second, the mans arm reached over and she was scooped up, allowing her to sit on hisp. Her body leaned back out of habit, and she subconsciously hugged his neck. Qiao Mu was at a loss for what to do with such an intimate action. She was in a state of shock the entire night and did not notice that their contact was already overly intimate. However, in the face of such a situation, the man in front of her raised his eyebrows as if nothing had happened and casually threw a bomb.Since youre fine now, lets settle the score. Youve caused me so much trouble. Tell me, how should I teach you a lesson? Qiao Mus body stiffened, and she felt as if she was hugging a bag of explosives. It was extremely dangerous. She retracted her hand from his neck, but just as she did so, she saw the mans expression darken and she immediately stopped moving. She did not dare to look him in the eye and her gaze drifted back and forth unnaturally. Uncle, you cant bear to teach me a lesson. Oh? Little thing, where did you get such confidence from? The man leaned forward, and their bodies were even closer. His body was as hot as a furnace, and he was transmitting it to her, as if he wanted to melt her. Her face suddenly turned red.. Chapter 76 - 76: The Taste Is Really Not Ordinary Chapter 76: The Taste Is Really Not Ordinary Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was not used to this kind of contact. She subconsciously leaned back and tried her best to distance herself from him. However, therge hand that was holding her waist did not have the slightest intention of letting her go. Qiao Mu bit her lip and blinked her big eyes pitifully, putting on a weak appearance. Uncle, I havent even recovered from the shock. Can you not scare me? Even if you want to settle scores with me, can you wait until tomorrow? Hiding for one night was one night. Li Yan narrowed his charming eyes. This little fellow had no idea that a change in his expression could make him lose control. She thought she was smart and wanted him to let her go, but she did not know that this would only make her situation more and more dangerous! The mans thin lips moved, and his low and hoarse voice rang in her ear. Little thing, listen carefully. Every word I warned you was serious. If you be my woman, dont have any other ideas in your mind. Be good. Im not scaring you! Qiao Mu nodded sensibly. Uncle, Ill be good. He hade to give her a warning again for no reason! However, if he wanted to warn her, could he let her go first? Youre not allowed to call me uncle anymore! This form of address directly lengthened the distance between them by a hundred and eight thousand miles. Then what should we call it? Li Yan? Qiao Mu thought for a moment and called him by his name. Li Yans face darkened. Youre quite bold. Did I allow you to call me by my full name? Qiao Mus mind had almost stopped thinking as she muttered nkly, Mr. Li? Young Master Li? Young Master Yan? Li Suddenly, the man narrowed his eyes and interrupted her. What did you call me in the past? Qiao Mu was stunned and blinked herrge eyes innocently. I forgot.. Li Yans expression turned cold as soon as he finished speaking. The coldness in his ck eyes shot straight into her eyes. Qiao Mus entire body quivered, and she immediately called out, Big brother! Almost as soon as he said the word brother, Li Yans eyes darkened. He lifted her up and flipped her over, falling straight onto the sofa. Following Qiao Mus low cry, Li Yan urately kissed her lips in the next second. His kiss was overbearing with a hint of fanaticism. Unlike the kisses that stopped at a certain point in the past, this time, it was like a storm that had no intention of stopping. Qiao Mus heart was beating uncontrobly. Because she had showered, Qiao Mu was only wearing Li Yans T-shirt, which was so plump that it covered her legs. However, as she struggled, the hem of her clothes moved to her upper body, and the big hand easily barged in. His body suddenly froze. The heat from his hands seemed to be burning her. Qiao Musrge, watery eyes widened as she ced her hands between the two of them. Uncle, youWhat are you doing? What do you think I want to do? The corners of his lips curled up into a devilish smile. His ck eyes narrowed, and his voice was low and hoarse with a hint of yfulness. Little thing, your taste is really extraordinary. You still call me uncle at this time? Dont tell me you want to continue the role-ying to the end? Qiao Mus face instantly turned red, so red that it was almost dripping blood. This bastard! How could he say such shameless words! Moreover, she even used an expression that said that she was very upright and that the indecent person was her! What did you call me? A lowugh sounded beside her ear. It was arrogant and arrogant. Qiao Mu bit her lip and called out unwillingly, Brother Just as Qiao Mu finished speaking, Li Yans body sank and he directly possessed her. [Oh, rmendation tickets.. There are two more to update during the day Chapter 77 - 77: Little Thing Who Doesn ‘t Say What She Meant! Chapter 77: Little Thing Who Doesn t Say What She Meant! Trantor: 549690339 An unguarded attack! Qiao Mus body was so stiff that she didnt dare to move. Her entire body was flushed red, unable to conceal the shyness in her heart. Although it was the second time, the pain in his body was still the same, as if he was being torn apart. Qiao Mus tears immediately gushed out. Li Yan, you bastard!! What, you dont like it? The mans voice was hoarse, and there was a charming smile on his face. Or is it that I didnt satisfy your strong taste and made you very unhappy? Is that so, niece? Qiao Mu was speechless. The word niece carried a teasing tone, like a basin of boiling hot water being sshed at Qiao Mu. Immediately after, Li Yans kissesnded on her body, wiping away her tears and almost taking away her breath. The pain disappeared, and an unfamiliar taste filled all his senses. Li Yans breathing became heavy. He leaned over and whispered into her ear, Little thing, be good from now on. You already know the consequences of causing trouble. Do you still dare to do it? I wouldnt dare! You dont dare? Are you not satisfied with this punishment? Little thing, you dont mean what you say! The man seemed to be very satisfied with her performance. He bit her red earlobe and said in a seductive and hoarse voice, You dont like it? Qiao Mu bit her lip and stared at him with herrge misty eyes, refusing to speak. Hmm? Li Yan narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with danger. An undisguised threat. Qiao Mu wanted to cry but had no tears. She was like a fish on a chopping board that was at his mercy. The unwillingness in her heart instantly surged up. She punched him and shouted aggrievedly, Youre bullying me! Youre all bullying me! Bastard! The mans movements stopped, and Qiao Mu looked at him. Just when she thought that there was a sliver of hope for her to be saved, those infuriating, embarrassed, and furious words once again hit her ears. Little thing, yourprehension isnt very good. I dont mind exining to you. This isnt bullying, this is Pain, love! Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mus face turned red and she gritted her teeth. She knew that she had no chance of winning a verbal battle with him! Furthermore, he was at a disadvantage! Soon after, Qiao Mu lost all ability to resist. That man had no intention of letting her off. The deep voice sounded again. Call me! Uncle. Qiao Mu mumbled unconsciously. You little pervert! Immediately after, a wildughter sounded in his ears. This night was destined to be filled with excitement and passion. The next morning. Qiao Mu woke up in a daze. When her body moved slightly, a wave of soreness assaulted her, reminding her of everything that had happenedst night. This time, he remembered every detail clearly. Her waist was held in ce by arge hand, which wrapped around her body domineeringly. She looked up and saw a fair body. Honey-colored skin, firm and tight chest, well-toned abdomen Qiao Mu blinked her eyes and looked at it for quite a while before her face suddenly turned red. Her gaze moved up bit by bit. His slightly stubbled chin was very sexy, his thin lips were closed, and his nose bridge was straight. She looked up again His deep and dark eyes were staring at her! Qiao Mu instantly froze. He, he, heWhen did he wake up? Awkward, really awkward! Chapter 78 - 78: Reward and Punishment Are the Same Thing Chapter 78: Reward and Punishment Are the Same Thing Trantor: 549690339 His dark eyes were filled with sleepiness, as if he had just woken up. Qiao Mus mind spun rapidly, and then she lightly snorted. She very naturally closed her eyes and gently turned her body, mumbling indistinctly, Where is this? What time is it? Im so sleepy. The corners of Li Yans lips curled into a beautiful smile. The little fellow pretended to turn over and avoid his gaze. His hands around her waist tightened. He leaned forward and saw through her unceremoniously. Continue pretending! Oh? What? Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes and appeared to be in a half-awake state. She looked like she was in a daze and had yet to regain her senses. Li Yan chuckled softly. His thin lips pressed against her ear as he reminded her kindly, Niece, this is my bed. Qiao Mu stiffened, unable to continue pretending. Your sister! Of course, she knew that she was in his bed! However, could he not be so shameless? Qiao Mu felt ufortable when she heard him call her niece. Why did she feel that his tone was so evil after hearing him call her niecest night? Qiao Mu buried her face in the nket to avoid the mans approach from behind her. Then, her body slowly moved toward the bed, hugging the nket and almost getting off the bed. However, he did not get his wish. Just as she was about to reach the bed, the man behind her came up to her and flipped her over to hold her in ce. It was rare to see the little fellow react so shyly. Last time, she was asking for money and distancing herself from him. This time, he wanted to see what she would do. Qiao Mu pressed her hands firmly between the two of them and said incoherently, Little, little uncle, hehehe, its you! Its me? From your tone, you seem to think its someone else? Li Yans tone was obviously a little lower. No, absolutely not! Looking at my nieces reaction, Id think that youre really a 419. Qiao Mus face contorted. Damn it, youre still bringing this up! Is this endless? Qiao Mu was a little unconvinced, and the unwillingness to admit defeat surged up from the bottom of her heart once again. She pouted and chuckled. Uncle, I dont do it often. Up until now, Ive only done it twice. Twice? Li Yans cold eyes narrowed. Say it again! Qiao Mus entire body quivered. Even though this mans eyes were filled with endless danger, his sexy thin lips were slightly curved, and his half-smile was extremely frightening. She was frightened by his imposing manner and felt that the joke had gone too far! He quickly waved his hand and shook his head. Uncle, I was just joking. I didnt do it once. Really, not once! Do you want to have one in the future? I dont want to! Its enough for me to have my uncle! Good girl, you are indeed a little pervert. Qiao Mu was speechless. F * ck! She really wanted to tear Li Yans mouth apart! The man approached her dangerously again, and Qiao Mu tensed up as she looked at him warily. I remember saying before I left that I would reward you when I came back. He looked like he was asking for a beating. She could tell at a nce that she could not afford this reward. She shook her head vigorously and said sincerely, Theres no need, Uncle. I dont want a reward. That wont do! The mans hand started to move. Butst night That was punishmentst night! ..Are rewards and punishments the same thing? This hooligan! However, just as Qiao Mu was resisting fearlessly, her phone rang.. Chapter 79 - 79: Act Like A Hero Saving The Beauty Chapter 79: Act Like A Hero Saving The Beauty Trantor: 549690339 The ringtone of the phone broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the room. Li Yan was indifferent. He stared at Qiao Mu calmly as if he was sizing up the fish on the chopping board and figuring out how to eat it. Uncle, its a call for you, Qiao Mu reminded him softly. The man narrowed his eyes. Niece, you dont seem very willing to ept the reward I gave you. But I remember thatst night, you clearlyVery fanatical! Fanaticism! This bastard! Which eye of his saw that she was crazy?! The corners of the mans lips curled up. Or is it that my niece only likes harsh punishments and is not interested in rewards? Li Yan! Qiao Mu couldnt take it anymore, and she red at the man who wasughing arrogantly with a red face. When this face was serious, it was very scary, but when it was not serious, it was simply asking for a p! Li Yan could not help but chuckle when he saw her angry and embarrassed look. You little pervert, you know how to be shy. .PQiao Mu gritted her teeth in anger. This man was simply shameless to the extreme! The phone stopped ringing. Two secondster, it rang again. Li Yans coquettish eyes were filled with a seductive smile. He nced at the little womans fuming appearance and slowly turned over to sit at the side. Without his weight, Qiao Mu felt that her breathing was smoother. The man beside her picked up his phone and leanedzily against the headboard, looking extremely charming. This man was always so elegant. The way he answered the phone was so eye-catching. The soft silk nket covered the area below his abdomen, and the lines of his tight chest muscles were perfect. Just sitting there, he was like a painting, impable. Qiao Mu unconsciously recalled the feeling of touching himst night, and she could not help but gulp. * Cough * What was she thinking! A cold gaze suddenly swept over, followed by a yful voice, Why? Are you regretful that I dont reward you? Qiao Mus face turned red, and she immediately retracted her gaze and dashed into the bathroom as if she was escaping. Li Yans lips curled into a smile as he watched the little fellow flee. He picked up the call. Su Chens voice came from the other end of the phone. Big Brother, you finally picked up the phone. Last night, you just came back from a business trip and crippled the mayors son. That gave me a shock. Previously, he was just being polite with the mayors son for thend in the north of the city. In the blink of an eye, it had be like this. Li Yans tone waszy. You came early in the morning to disturb my sleep just to gossip? Sleep? Big Brother, my second uncle didnt sleep wellst night because of what happened to you. Arent you being too unkind to sleep in? Uncle Su is too excited to sleep. Thinking that his arch-enemy of many years is about to step down, it would be strange if he could sleep. Su Chen was speechless. lnese words were too gloating. Big Brother, youve only just returned and youre already attacking the mayor. Arent you a little too anxious? After all, we dont have any direct conflict with the mayor, so we can get by on the surface. Originally, we didnt want to hinder each other. I didnt want to fall out with him, but now hes in my way! Qiao Mu? Su Chen was stunned. He thought for a moment and asked, I heard that you put on a heroic actst night. Was the other party Qiao Mu? Li Yan raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, It seems like Lei Yis mouth is leaking air. I have to help him sew it up. Was there a need to ask Lei Yi about this? After this incident, Su Chen had already guessed what was going on. But thinking about it, besides Qiao Mu, there was no one else who could make Young Master Li so angry.. Chapter 80 - 80: You Can I t Abandon Me Chapter 80: You Can I t Abandon Me Trantor: 549690339 The other party was the mayors son, and he was a little angry. Young Master Lis protective thoughts were even more powerful than before. Li Yan got up and slowly put on his sleeping robe. Then, he said into the phone, Ill go over to Lin Changhuas side myself. Gather all the dirty deeds he has done for me. Big brother, let Lei Yi do this. You dont need me, right? You must be too free to gossip. Ill find something for you to do. Li Yan did not give Su Chen a chance to reject him and hung up the phone. When Qiao Mu went downstairs, Li Yan was having breakfast in the dining room. She sat down opposite him and watched the man eat his breakfast elegantly. When she was in the bathroom just now, she vaguely heard him mention what happenedst night on the phone. It must have been very troublesome. Uncle, Qiao Mu couldnt help but ask, didst nights incident cause you a lot of trouble? Its good that you know. So, one punishment isnt enough. ..Could he stop thinking about such things? A beast in human clothing! Li Yan nced at her and said calmly, You should be worried about yourself. If the mayor asks the Qiao family for you, do you think the Qiao family will hand you over? Qiao Mus face paled when she heard that. She had just escaped from a dangerous situationst night, so she could not take a scare. Qiao Mu was furious when she saw Li Yan acting as if nothing had happened and turning hostile after sleeping with her. She did not have time to think about it. She stood up immediately, ced her hands on the dining table, and leaned forward. Uncle, Im yours! In other words, he had protected her once, so he had to protect her until the end. Qiao Mus actions were too sudden, and her Im your woman was practically shouted out loud. Even the butler at the side could not help butugh. Uh It seemed a little embarrassing! It was fine if he ttered Li Yan in private, but this kind of thing was indeed not presentame. Li Yan looked up and sized up the little girl. The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. He stared at her for a while before he slowly said,Youre using this as a shield. Qiao Mu smiled obsequiously. Then Uncle, you cant abandon me! It depends on your performance. ..This man really deserved a beating! Qiao Mu took a sip of porridge and said nonchntly, Even if this matter is to be settled, its Qiao Yas fault. It has nothing to do with me. An idea shed through her mind and she couldnt help but ask, Uncle, if you had to choose between me and Qiao Ya, who would you choose? Li Yan raised his head and saw the little woman staring at him with bright eyes. She was looking forward to his answer. What do you think? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Was there a need to ask? Of course it was Qiao Ya, who was rted to her by blood! She lowered her head and ate her porridge silently.How would I know what youre thinking! Li Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a long time. Then, the corners of his lips curled up. Little pervert, Im not interested in my niece. Qiao Mus almond-shaped eyes widened. He actually called her a pervert in front of others! This was simply too much! Eh, he didnt seem to be biased towards Qiao Ya at all! Qiao Mus mood instantly improved. Qiao Mu thought for a moment and said, Uncle, if-and Im saying if-I fall out with Qiao Ya, even if you dont stand on my side, can you not help her bully Chapter 81 - 81: It’s Best If You Can ‘t Survive Chapter 81: Its Best If You Can t Survive Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan did not directly answer Qiao Mus question. Instead, he nced at her indifferently and asked, Fall out? What do you want to do? She has her mother to protect her. What do you have? I have you, Uncle. Qiao Mu subconsciously replied. She looked at the iprehensible smile on Li Yans face and pursed her lips. I cant count on you either. Youre family! After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she felt a hint of coldness sh across Li Yans eyes, and a chill emanated from the depths of his eyes. Qiao Mus body stiffened as she realized that she had gotten carried away! This man had only treated her a little better, and she had forgotten that he was someone she could not afford to offend! Although he had indeed been helping her, those things had not affected Yu Tingyun and her mother. What if one day, she and her stepmother stood on opposite sides? She wasnt sure if this man would stand on her side. Just as Qiao Mu was about to be frozen by the cold light, he spoke indifferently. His tone contained a hint of mockery and faint anger. Youre quite self-aware. Qiao Mus heart suddenly sank. Although she had already expected the answer, she still felt very disappointed when she heard his merciless blow. She felt wronged and snorted. Your family is not a good person! Li Yan narrowed his dark eyes and stared at Qiao Mu with his deep gaze. The atmosphere instantly became tense. Qiao Mu lowered her head and didnt dare to speak. Then, she heard the mans voice above her head, and he berated her with an unclear emotion, How rude! Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Whats with the fierceness! Indeed, the man in bed and the man out of bed werepletely different people! Qiao family. Qiao Ya did not sleep well that night. She could not suppress the nervousness in her heart. She had no idea what happened after she sneaked awayst night. It would be fine if Qiao Mu was satisfied with Lin Xians service, but if Lin Xian was not satisfied in the end, the Qiao family would really be implicated. Moreover, if Qiao Mu was tortured to death by Lin Xian, how could she wash away her involvement? Qiao Ya also did not expect things to develop to this extent. She originally thought that Qiao Mu would at most suffer a little loss and that it was nothing. The Qiao family had raised her for so many years, so it was only right for her to pay a little price for the Qiao Corporation. Who knew that the wretched girl would resist desperately and pretend to be noble and virtuous, not even caring about her life. If she angered Lin Xian, the consequences would be unimaginable! Yu Tingyun went downstairs, and Qiao Ya confessed to Yu Tingyun in fear. Yu Tingyuns expression changed. Dont you know that girls temperament? How can you be so rash? Even if you want to be quick, couldnt you have discussed this with me beforehand? The other party is the mayors son, and Qiao Mu represents the Qiao family. If were not careful, the Qiao family will also be implicated! Mom, I didnt expect things to develop to this extent either. Dont me me for now. Think about what to do. I didnt expect Lin Xian to be a drug addict. Qiao Mu might not survive after being in his hands for one night! Its best if you cant survive! Yu Tingyuns gloomy voice rang out. Qiao Ya was shocked. Her mother, who had always been virtuous and beautiful, actually had a sinister expression on her face. Yu Tingyun noticed that she had lost herposure and exined with a cold face, Think about it. If Qiao Mu only caused a ruckus at the gathering and offended Lin Xian, the Qiao family would be in trouble! However, if anything happens to Qiao Mu, the Qiao family will be at a disadvantage. Perhaps the mayor will feel guilty and give that piece ofnd in the north of the city to the Qiao family. Losing Qiao Mu and obtaining arge project was a profit! Chapter 82 - 82: Mother and Daughter in Collusion Chapter 82: Mother and Daughter in Collusion Trantor: 549690339 Moreover, it was not a big deal for the daughter of a despicable woman to be tortured to death like this. Most importantly, the Qiao family would be peaceful in the future! Qiao Ya thought about it and felt that it made sense. She still said worriedly, But no matter what, I cant get away with it! Yu Tingyun red at Qiao Ya, who looked like a good-for-nothing, and said coldly, You just have to pretend that you dont know. Ill take care of your father! When Qiao Mu returned home, the Qiao family of three was having breakfast. As soon as she entered, she heard Qiao Jiannans voiceing from the dining room. Yesterday was Friday. Mumu didnt go home this weekend either. Give her a call after dinner. Yu Tingyun smiled and said, She must have forgotten to go home because she was ying with her friends. The child is old enough to not be so strict. Mumu is very sensible. Qiao Mu snorted coldly in her heart and said with a smile, Daddy, Im back. The three people in the restaurant looked at Qiao Mu at the same time with different expressions. Qiao Yas expression was extremely unsightly as she sized up Qiao Mu. When she saw that Qiao Mu was unharmed, a hint of surprise and panic shed across her eyes. At the same time, she revealed unconcealed disgust. Since she was fine, it meant that she had served Lin Xian well yesterday, so Lin Xian let her off! Yu Tingyun red at Qiao Ya, reminding her not to expose herself! Qiao Jiannan smiled helplessly. I just mentioned you and you came back. This child is so insensible. He didnt even call home. Qiao Mu smiled mischievously, and her eyes inadvertently swept past Qiao Ya. Daddy, dont me me. I almost didnt make it back! What happened? Qiao Jiannan asked hurriedly. Yu Tingyun smiled and interrupted the conversation. Mumu, you know that your father is worried about you, but youre still joking with him. Aunt Yun, how did you know I was joking? Qiao Mu raised her eyebrows and looked at Yu Tingyun provocatively. Yu Tingyun stood up and walked toward Qiao Mu. Mumu, lets not talk about this for now. You came back just in time. Come upstairs with me, I have something good for you. A cold glint shed across Qiao Mus eyes. This mother and daughter pair were indeed colluding! She wanted to see what Yu Tingyun was up to! Yu Tingyun went upstairs and entered her room. She closed the door and looked at Qiao Mu expressionlessly. I heard about what happenedst night from your sister. Sister? Qiao Ya brought me to that kind of ce, and you still have the cheek to call her my sister? Qiao Mu, what happenedst night has already happened. Theres no point in getting angry. Even if Qiao Ya went overboard, you must remember that as long as your surname is Qiao, you have the responsibility to help the Qiao family solve their problems! Yu Tingyuns tone was full of self-righteousness. She didnt think that Qiao Ya had done anything wrong. Qiao Mu curled her lips mockingly. Aunt Yun, if I remember correctly, you wanted to chase me out of the Qiao family not too long ago. Dont you find it ridiculous to say these words now? But didnt you choose not to leave? Qiao Mu, since youve chosen to stay in the Qiao family, this kind of thing will happen frequently in the future. Your existence must be beneficial to the development of the Qiao family. Since youve chosen to live the life of a socialite, you have to pay the price! The life of a wealthy family is not enjoyed for nothing. Even if you get married in the future, your partner will have to be me, your nominal mother, to arrange a family marriage for you! Yu Tingyuns tone was aloof and emotionless. Qiao Mu, you have no other choice! The corners of Qiao Mus lips sank. This was the first time she had spoken so directly about her expected attitude. She sneered.. Daddy doesnt know about this, does he? Arent you afraid that Ill tell on you? Chapter 83 - 83: Counterattack Chapter 83: Counterattack Trantor: 549690339 Yu Tingyun smiled and shook her head. You dont know how toin. If you did, you would have said it downstairs. I watched you grow up. Youre a very sensible child. Even if you dont care about Xiao Ya and me, you care about your father. You wont make him unhappy. Qiao Mus heart sank bit by bit. Yu Tingyun knew what she was thinking, so when Qiao Ya bullied her and attacked her tantly, this woman would always stand by and watch. Yu Tingyun knew that even if she was bullied, she would notin. She would just swallow it silently! Her attempt to appease them made them bully her even more! After a pause, Yu Tingyun continued, If your father Imew that you helped thepany acquire thend in the north of the city, he would definitely be very happy. Qiao Mu, it was worth it for you to sacrifice one night. Isnt everything fine now? Yu Tingyuns words were extremely disgusting. Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly and suddenlyughed. Aunt Yun, youre right! Yu Tingyun stared straight at Qiao Mu. Her beautiful face was smiling very proudly, without the slightest hint of sadness. No matter how he looked at it, it was disgusting! With Lin Xians yboy style, it was already a miracle that she didnt go to the hospital after a night. After being abusedst night, she could still go home as if nothing had happened. It seemed that this wretched girl was just like her shameless mother. She was a slut to her bones! Qiao Mu turned around and opened the door. Just as she was about to walk out, she suddenly stopped in her tracks as if she had thought of something. She turned around to look at Yu Tingyun. Oh, right, Aunt Yun, I forgot to tell you. Ive already offended the mayors sonst night. Perhaps the mayor is thinking of a way to deal with our family at this time. Qiao Mu smiled innocently when she saw Yu Tingyuns gradually changing expression. She continued, Who asked me to be a part of this family? Its inevitable that Ill identally implicate the Qiao family. So, Aunt Yun, youd better think of a way to solve this matter quickly. My father doesnt know about this, so I can only trouble you! Qiao Mu! Yu Tingyun gritted her teeth as she said those two words. Her usually calm expression changedpletely! Sincest night, Lin Xian had been hiding his involvement in drug abuse. Only the police knew about it, and the outside world had not heard anything about it. The mayor, Lin Changhua, was furious. His only precious son had suddenly been beaten up and sent to the police station! Lin Changhua came to the police station aggressively to demand his sons life. When he saw his sons unrecognizable appearance, he could not catch his breath and almost fainted. He couldnt bear to touch it himself. He had been pampered since he was young, but in one night, he had been crippled by someone else! Lin Changhua mmed the table. Call your bureau chief over. I want to ask him why he didnt arrest the person who hit my son! A middle-aged man walked over. His attitude was very polite, but his tone was very stiff. Mayor, who should be arrested and who should not be arrested? I will handle this fairly. Are you interfering with the work of the police station? Su Hui, dont think that I dont Imow that youre protecting Li Yan. Hand Li Yan over to me. You cant protect him. I dont believe that he can get away with it in my jurisdiction! Lin Changhua said angrily. Get away scot-free? A light voice sounded, and then a tall figure appeared at the door. Li Yan put his hands in his pockets and walked into the police station. In the chaotic scene, he looked very calm andposed. It was as if he had entered his own garden.. Chapter 84 - 84: I Want You to Step Down Chapter 84: I Want You to Step Down Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan stood in front of the furious Lin Changhua. Mayor Lin, you cant just say whatever you want. May I know what kind ofw Ive broken? Li Yan! Are you tired of living? How dare youy your hands on my son! Lin Changhua pounced over, but before he could get close, he was stopped by Lei Yi. Li Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled. Mayor, I dont understand what youre saying. Ive always been aw-abiding citizen. What does your sons matter have to do with me? Lei Yis mouth twitched. Yes, Young Master was indeedw-abiding. Good! Very good! Youre in cahoots! Lin Changhua angrily took out his phone and dialed a number. Bring someone to the police station immediately! What?! Lin Changhua said angrily after he put down the phone. A police chief dares to climb over my head?! Upon hearing this, Su Hui stepped forward. Mayor, since the criminal is your rtive, I have already informed Secretary Liu about this matter. Lin Changhuas expression changed. Secretary Liu and him, the mayor, had always been on good terms on the surface, but they were enemies in private. This Su Hui was on the Secretarys side. Clearly, they had discussed it and deliberately targeted him! Mayor, we have something to talk about. How about we talk inside? Li Yan said calmly. Lets talk here! Surnamed Li, even if you beg me, I wont let you off! Lin Changhua red at Li Yan with fire in his eyes. Li Yans lips curled into a smile, and his eyes were cold. He nced at Lei Yi, who handed the documents in his hands to Lin Changhua. Lin Changhua took a look at it and his expression changed drastically. I wonder why the mayor wont let me off? Li Yan asked nonchntly. The files in the folder were all evidence of Lin Changhuas crimes! Greed, corruption, bribery, tax evasion, and naturally, raising a mistress. Lin Changhua raised his head and red at Li Yan angrily. He gritted his teeth and his expression was extremely ugly. Li Yan, Im not interfering with you. Why did you do this?! Li Yan sneered. That was true beforest night, but your son offended mest night. Its a fathers fault for not teaching his son. Shouldnt the mayor pay for what your son did? No matter how angry Lin Changhua was, Li Yan still had something on him. There were too many people around, so Lin Changhua could only swallow his anger and ask to talk in the office. After closing the door, Lin Changhua threw the documents on the table and asked, Li Yan, what are you trying to do? I can promise you anything you want! I want you to step down. Li Yan spat out the words that could scare people to death. In your dreams! Lin Changhua roared. Li Yan walked to the sofa and sat down leisurely. Your son warned mest night that he wanted me to lose my footing in Beijing. If you dont step down, Ill be in danger! Lin Changhuaughed coldly. You sure are arrogant. Id like to see if you can do it! After all, Lin Changhua was a mayor who had seen the world. In his eyes, Li Yan was just a young man who was about the same age as his son. Even if he had evidence, it was impossible to force him to step down. Li Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Lei Yi, who was standing at the side. His tone seemed to be asking, The mayors son was arrested for taking drugsst night. He has been hiding too well until now. Isnt it time for him to let the outside world know? Lei Yi said respectfully, Young Master, Ive already revealed the news to the major media before I came. Not only did Lin Xian gather to take drugs, he also gathered to rape and attempted rape. Although the current charges are not serious, once this matter is made public, those victims who were suppressed by the mayor will probablye forward. At that time, it will be difficult for the mayor not to be implicated.. Chapter 85 - 85: Provoking a Terrifying Person Chapter 85: Provoking a Terrifying Person Trantor: 549690339 After a pause, Lei Yi continued. The mayor just called to call someone to the police station. Im sure the media will soon report that the mayor used his personal power toe to the police station to interfere with official business. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. He looked at Lin Changhuas ugly expression and said calmly, With the mayors power, its not difficult to cover up his corruption. However, in a wealthy neighborhood in the city center, theres an adult and a child. Its impossible to erase them. Li Yan paused for a moment before he said calmly, Mayor, what do you think? Lin Changhuas expression was as unsightly as it could get. Li Yan had investigated all the women and children he kept outside. This was obviously his fatal weakness! No matter how unwilling Lin Changhua was, he had to lower his head. Young Master Li, if my son has offended you, I will apologize to you on his behalf. I will not interfere with his actions. Please stop now. Stop? Li Yans lips curled up coldly. Unfortunately, its toote. Ive already handed this information to Secretary Liu. What happens next has nothing to do with me. Lin Changhuas face instantly turned purple. He had already dealt with this matter. What was the point ofing here today? Li Yan stood up and walked out elegantly. When he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks and looked behind him coldly. Mayor Lin, Im here to confirm with you whether this is your territory or not! Lin Changhuas heart skipped a beat. He felt like he had offended someone he shouldnt have! Lin Changhua had more or less heard of Li Yans deeds overseas. In business, he was involved in both the ck and the white. Both the ck and the white seemed to be doing well, but he did not expect him to be so ruthless! During the weekend, Qiao Mu hid in her dormitory and didnt dare to go out. She was worried that her enemies woulde knocking on her door. Although Li Yan did not take Lin Xian seriously, the mayor was not someone that ordinary people could offend! However, two dayster, when she was surfing the inte, she suddenly saw a piece of news. The mayor of this city was suspended and was being investigated ! Qiao Mu stared at the headline in disbelief. She tugged at Chi Xia beside her and asked, Xiaxia, quickly turn on your phone and see if this message is a rumor! Chi Xia was baffled. She went online to confirm and replied, lts true. Isnt this kind of newsmon? What kind of expression is that? Is the mayor your rtive? Qiao Mu shook her head stiffly. Im thinking that I seem to have offended an extremely terrifying person. It was impossible to say that the mayors resignation had nothing to do with Li Yan! This matter was too terrifying. She had always thought that Li Yan was just a powerful figure in the business world, but she did not expect him to be so powerful! Now that her crisis was finally resolved, why did she still feel that she was in a dangerous situation? It was too scary to think of how she did not know her limits in front of that man who could turn the world upside down with a flick of his finger! Chi Xia was ying a game and asked casually, Who did you offend? Mumu, youve been acting weird recently. Also, Yao Shu hasnt been back tor two days. Do you have to be so mysterious about having a boyfriend? At the mention of Yao Shu, Qiao Mu snorted coldly. Id like to see if she has the face toe back and face me! Chi Xia looked up at Qiao Mu. Before she could ask anything, the door was pushed open. Yao Shu carried her bag into the house and nced at Qiao Mu as if nothing had happened. You should be the one whos too ashamed to face anyone! Qiao Mu expressionlessly walked toward Yao Shu, raised her hand, and unceremoniously pped her. With a crisp pa sound, Yao Shu and Chi Xia were both stunned.. Chapter 86 - 86: You Have to Take This Slap Chapter 86: You Have to Take This p Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia jumped up and walked over. Whats wrong with you two? What happened? Yao Shu covered her face, her eyes filled with anger. Qiao Mu, what right do you have to hit me?! Qiao Mu curled her lips into a cold smile. You know the reason yourself! Yao Shu, regardless of whether you know where you lied to me, since youre involved in this matter, you have to ept this p! Yao Shu pushed Chi Xia, who was standing in the middle, away and red at Qiao Mu angrily. I did it on purpose. So what? Even your sister wants to harm you. It shows how dirty you are! Filthy? Yao Shu, how have I let you down? Youve targeted me again and again? I was reported to the nightclub. It must be your masterpiece, right? Chi Xia was stunned. She didnt know anything! Yao Shus expression changed. You deserve it! Youre someone elses third party, and you still have the cheek to be so self-righteous! A third party? Qiao Mus expression turned colder. It was simply baffling! Yao Shu saw Qiao Mus nk expression and continued, Stop pretending. Im telling you, Han Su is mine. Hes my boyfriend. He doesnt like you at all! Qiao Mu felt like she had heard the funniest joke in the world, and sheughed sarcastically. Are you delusional? Chi Xia was confused and could not help but confirm, Yao Shu, Han Su is your boyfriend? Even if he is your boyfriend, what does it have to do with Mu Mu? Ask her. She knows that Han Su has a girlfriend, but she still seduced someone elses boyfriend. Shes so shameless! Yao Shu angrily pointed at Qiao Mu. Dont you like men? Your sister said that there are plenty of men there. Im helping you! Yao Shu was very emotional andpletely lost her usual quiet self. Yao Shu, dont go crazy here. Its ridiculous! Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered with her. Since she had clearly seen this persons face, there was nothing more to say. How can you be so shameless! Yao Shu gritted her teeth in anger. She packed her things and left with her bag. Qiao Mus mood turned sour after Yao Shus ruckus. Chi Xia walked up to Qiao Mu and asked in confusion, What exactly happened? How would I know? Han Su and I are innocent. Ever since Yao Shu fell in love, she became abnormal. I only just found out that she schemed against me again and again! Qiao Mu didnt know the reason at first, but now she knew that it was because of Han Su! Chi Xia was also very puzzled. If Yao Shu and Han Su were really dating, how could their rtionship be hidden? Chi Xia suddenly thought of something and asked, You just said that Yao Shu and Qiao Ya lied to you. Whats going on? Qiao Mu thought that the matter was over and did not want Chi Xia to worry, so she did not say anything. Since she asked, she could only briefly tell her what happened that night. Chi Xia was furious when she heard that. She could not help but curse, These scumbags! Giving her a p is considered letting her off easy! After a pause, Chi Xia stared at Qiao Mu with a scrutinizing gaze. No wonder you were so surprised when you saw the news just now. That uncle of yours is too amazing! Tell me honestly, the person you secretly sent a message to and called a few days ago, was he your uncle? Qiao Mus expression was a little unnatural. What do you mean by sneaky? Im obviously doing it openly! Alright, fair and square! Compared to the tall, rich, and handsome uncle, Han Su is nothing. Yao Shu is really good at framing people! Dont talk about Senior Han Su like that. This is just what Yao Shu said. Its not confirmed yet! Besides, Han Su had never told her that he had a girlfriend, so she didnt believe what Yao Shu said. [Todays update is over. See you tomorrow at oo:oo. Dont forget your rmendation ticket..] Chapter 87 - 87: Infiltrating the Enemy Chapter 87: Infiltrating the Enemy Trantor: 549690339 The sky was already dark, and it was time for dinner. Seeing that Qiao Mus mood was affected, Chi Xia dragged her out for dinner. Qiao Mu was still thinking about what was going on between Yao Shu and Han Su when she looked up and saw Chi Xia looking at her with a very ambiguous gaze. That gaze seemed to want to see through her. Whats wrong? Whats with that look? Qiao Mu, it suddenly urred to me that you didnt deny your abnormal rtionship with your handsome uncle. Chi Xias tone was filled with excitement. Qiao Mu was stunned, and she snapped back, 0ur rtionship is very normal. Dont make wild guesses! What is considered normal? Thats not your biological uncle. Arent you a little too close to your stepmothers younger brother? Qiao Mu really wanted to say that her rtionship with Li Yan was no longer as simple as just being a little close. Qiao Mu coughed lightly and stopped in her tracks. She looked at Chi Xia with a serious expression and tried to mess with her thoughts. What do you know? This is called infiltrating the enemys inner circle and building a good rtionship with the enemy so that there will be fewer obstacles in the future. Besides, Li Yan is such a powerful enemy. If we can pull him into our camp and use him, wouldnt that be killing two birds with one stone? Qiao Mu had just finished speaking when a car horn sounded from behind her. She did not turn around and merely leaned against the sidewalk. Just as she was waiting for Chi Xia to exaggerate her wisdom, she saw Chi Xias dazed expression. Qiao Mu smiled and said proudly, Are you shocked by my shrewd battle n? Dont worshiD me too much! Chi Xia pointed behind Qiao Mu and said uncertainly, Mu Mu, why do I feel that the person in this car looks so much like your stepmothers younger brother? You must have seen wrongly. How could Li Yan He appeared near her school! Before she could finish her sentence, Qiao Mu had already seen the person Chi Xia was talking about. His expression froze instantly! In the ck car, the mans deep ck eyes stared straight at her. It was clearly afortable night in spring, but at this moment, she felt like she had entered the depths of winter. There was a chill from the inside out. Qiao Mu couldnt help but shiver as she looked at the man in the backseat in disbelief. She blinked again and again, and it took her a while to confirm that her gaze was correct. When did this car stop behind her? He probably didnt hear what she said just now, right? Qiao Mu took a deep breath and reminded herself to calm down before saying, Uncle, why are you here? You? Li Yan raised his eyebrows and a cold look shed across his face. This little thing would only call him you when she needed his help or when she made a mistake! Qiao Mu felt extremely guilty under that fierce gaze. Just as she felt that she was about to be cut into pieces by his gaze, she heard him spit out two words in a t tone, Get in the car! Qiao Mu really did not want to get into the car. Her rationality told her that if she got into the car now, the consequences would be unimaginable! But She didnt dare to refuse! Qiao Mu turned to look at Chi Xia and secretly signaled for help with her eyes. However, the other party revealed an expression that was even more obsequious than hers. She smiled and waved her hand.Mu Mu, leave quickly. Dont worry about me! In the end, Chi Xia even added fuel to the fire and leaned in front of Qiao Mu, encouraging her softly, I wont dy you from infiltrating the enemys base. Good luck! Qiao Mu was speechless. What could she say! How did he end up with such a bad friend who liked to cause trouble and help! Qiao Mu braced herself and got into the car.. Chapter 88 - 88: How Should I Punish You? Chapter 88: How Should I Punish You? Trantor: 549690339 The car drove steadily. The atmosphere in the car was terrible. Qiao Mu did not speak and waited for Li Yan to speak first. However, the other party did not seem to have any intention of taking the initiative to speak. He sat at the side like a statue. Qiao Mu finally couldnt hold it in any longer. She broke the ice with a cough and tilted her head to look at the stone sculpture. Uncle, why did youe near our school? Was he looking for her? Passing by! These two simple words made Qiao Mu speechless. Qiao Muughed dryly. Its too much of a coincidence to bump into someone just passing by! It is indeed a coincidence. Li Yan lowered his gaze. This was the first time he looked at Qiao Mu in the eye ever since she got into the car. Qiao Mu finally felt a trace offort. She no longer needed to be treated coldly. However, in the next second, the mans thin lips parted slightly and he said something that put her under a lot of pressure. If I hadnt met you by chance, I wouldnt have had the chance to hear your detailed battle n! The coldness seeped into his bones. Qiao Mus face slowly turned pale. He heard it! He actually heard it! How unlucky was she? She had casually said a few words on the street and he had overheard her? At this moment, Qiao Mu really wanted to jump out of the car and hide far away! It was impossible for her to escape, so Qiao Muughed awkwardly. Uncle, hehehe, I was just joking with my friend. I was really just casually saying it. You can take it in one ear and leave it in the other. Dont take it seriously! Li Yans eyes turned sharp, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. He leaned over and approached her. Infiltrating the enemys inner circle? Then isnt your sacrifice a little too big? Qiao Mus entire body trembled, and the corners of her lips twitched, revealing an expression uglier than crying. Uncle, I didnt sacrifice myself. I did it willingly! Is that so? But when I think about it, why do I feel that you deliberately nned it? Little thing, did you drug yourself the first time and then take the opportunity to Seducing me? No! She was so wronged! Hmm? Li Yan narrowed his eyes. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with this answer. .. Yes! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and braced herself to admit! He raised his broad hand and ced it on Qiao Mus head, rubbing it twice. The mans tone was cold and seemingly yful. How should I punish you? Qiao Mu was already speechless. The mans coquettish eyes suddenly darkened as he red at her. Qiao Mu, didnt I remind you not to have any evil thoughts? If I find out, you wont be able to bear the consequences! Qiao Mu stiffened and immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice. I didnt! Uncle, believe me. I wouldnt dare! She didnt think much of it in the past, but now she really didnt dare to. Ever since she found out how terrifying he was a few hours ago, she didnt dare to provoke him even more. Dont dare? It wasnt that he didnt want to! This answer made Li Yan very dissatisfied! He wasnt trying to force her with threats or promises. She just wanted to remind her to be obedient! The little thing looked nervous and sat at the side timidly, looking like a frightened deer. A hint of displeasure shed in his dark eyes. He was only slightly more serious with her, why was she so afraid? Wasnt she very bold? Where was his arrogance from before? He sighed helplessly and gave up on teaching her a lesson for the time being.. He did not want the little thing to be afraid of him! Chapter 89 - 89: I ‘m Very Good, Don’t Be Fierce Chapter 89: I m Very Good, Dont Be Fierce Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was still sitting upright, waiting to be taught a lesson, but she could clearly feel that the mans coldness was gradually dissipating, and his sense of danger was no longer as intense. Qiao Mu quietly raised her head and coincidentally met the mans gaze. She chuckled. Uncle, Ill really be very obedient. Dont be fierce with me! Hmm? How dare you disappear with me? Qiao Mu was stunned and quickly shook her head. No, Ive been obediently staying in the dormitory for the past two days and didnt go anywhere. Its just that I lost my phone that night, so I didnt contact you. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she secretly nced at Li Yans expression. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with this answer, and she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She was under a lot of pressure! Her little heart was very fragile. Couldnt he be gentler to her? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes at Li Yan and could not help but ask, Uncle, did youe specially to look for me today? Li Yan nced at her. She was still acting all reserved just now, but now that he was giving her a little face, she would climb up thedder. Looking at her expectant eyes, he gave her the same answer.lm just passing Qiao Mu secretly pursed her lips. Even if he said he was passing by, she had to believe him! She felt a little smug in her heart. He must havee to her school to look for her because he couldnt contact her on his phone! At this moment, Li Yans phone rang. He answered the call and said, 111 be there soon. Qiao Mu looked at him in confusion. What was he up to next? Soon, the car stopped. Li Yan got out of the car, and Qiao Mu followed suit. The car stopped in the parking lot of the Abundance of Gold Hotel. In front of them was a golden hotel signboard with shing neon lights and gorgeous decorations. Abundance of Gold and Jade was thergest hotel and restaurant in the capital. The dining and amodation facilities were linked together, and the entire building upied arge area in the district. Many business events and grand banquets were held here. The banquet that Qiao Mu attended with Han Su thest time was also held here. Although Qiao Mu had already guessed her purpose foring here, she s asked, Uncle, what are we doing here? Li Yan lowered his head and nced at the little one. Other than getting a room, were here to eat. What do you think were doing here? Qiao Mu was speechless. Pretend she didnt ask anything! F * ck! So what if he politely replied that he was here for dinner? In a private room filled with gold and jade. A table of people were chatting, waiting for the man who was thest to arrive. Lu Jingzhi looked at the time and said helplessly, Treat us to a meal. Why arent you here at this hour? Are you trying to starve us to death? Su Chen looked at Lei Yi. Where did your master go? He actually didnt bring you along. Young Master went to do some private matters. Lei Yi replied simply. Personal matters? What private matters could Young Master Li have? Su Chen smiled at the middle-aged man beside him. Second Uncle, dont be picky. You know that my big brother has been busy with his private matters recently because of that incident. The man that Su Chen addressed as Second Uncle was Su Chens uncle, Su Hui, the chief of the police station. Li Yan was treating them this time to thank Chief Su for his help. Su Hui smiled indifferently. Im an elder. Naturally, I have to amodate you youngsters. At this moment, the door was pushed open by the waiter. Li Yan finally appeared. Qiao Mu thought that she and Li Yan were the only ones eating, so when she opened the door and saw the people inside, she was stunned. Li Yan entered the room, and Qiao Mu followed closely behind him. She braced herself and stepped into the room. At the same time, she could feel everyones gaze on her.. Chapter 90 - 90: Disappointed by the Coldness! Chapter 90: Disappointed by the Coldness! Trantor: 549690339 Why didnt he tell her in advance that there was someone else eating with him? If she knew, she would never havee! That was becauseShe came out of the dormitory to look for food at night. She was only wearing a casual T-shirt and loose jeans with holes in her knees. She looked at the few people in the room. They were all dressed up. Although they were not as formal as suits, these men were dressed casually. Unlike her, she looked like a student who could not be seen in public! It was too embarrassing! When Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen saw Qiao Mu following behind Li Yan, they were slightly stunned. So this was the so-called private matter! He brought this girl with him. Could it be that this Young Master Li was afraid that she would cause trouble again after leaving him? There was an indescribable feeling when the two of them stood together. One was tall and straight, while the other was petite and delicate. Although the contrast was obvious, they were surprisinglypatible. After Li Yan entered the room, he asked the waiter to add a chair. Then, he walked to the table and looked at Su Hui. Uncle Su, Im sorry for beingte. Its not toote! Su Huiughed, and his gazended on Qiao Mu. Ah Yan, this is? Uncle Su, shes the girl I took away that night. I have to thank you for helping me with the rest of the matter, Li Yan said calmly as he sat down. From Li Yans words, Qiao Mu understood that Uncle Su was also involved in that incident. Qiao Mu very consciously smiled and introduced herself. Hello, Uncle Su. Im Qiao Mu, Little Uncles nephew! Pfft Lu Jingzhi could not help butugh. Nephew? This self-definition was too Qiao Mu looked over in puzzlement. Did Lu Jingzhi dislike her? She introduced herself, yet he stillughed out loud and smashed the ce! However, why did Li Yans expression suddenly turn sour? Su Huiughed out loud. Miss Qiao, you call Ah Yan uncle, but you call me uncle like Ah Yan. Isnt this seniority a little wrong? * Cough * It really didnt seem right! Could it be that he had to call her grandfather? However, the other party was only in his fifties. He really couldnt call him grandfather! Qiao Mu smiled awkwardly and helplessly nced at the man beside her. However, the mans expression was cold as if someone had offended him. Su Chen broke the silence with a chuckle. Second Uncle, dont worry about seniority. My big brother doesnt even mind. This awkward opening was finally over. After that, Li Yan did not say another word to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu felt neglected and a sense of loss welled up in her heart. He had brought her here, but in the end, he did not speak to her at all. He did not even look at her, making them look like strangers. Qiao Mu felt indignant as she ate the delicacies. Finally, she couldnt hold it in any longer. She secretly reached out her hand under the table and touched his hand on hisp, hinting at him not to be so cold to him. Just as her hand touched him, he held it back. Then, the man finally turned his head and gave her a look. Qiao Mu immediately smiled at him ingratiatingly, but the man asked nonchntly, Why are you touching me? Why are you touching meHis voice was neither loud nor soft, and everyone present could hear him clearly! Qiao Mus face flushed red almost as soon as Li Yan finished speaking. F * ck! In front of so many people, he did not give her any face and said that she had touched him! How thick-skinned was he to say such things as if it had nothing to do with him? Moreover, he was still holding her hand tightly as he spoke. The gazes of the people at the table shifted to Qiao Mu once again, and Qiao Mu felt her face burning hot. [Its a new week. Girls, dont forget your rmendation votes. The update ends today..] Chapter 91 - 91: If You Win, It’s On You, If You Lose, It’s On Me Chapter 91: If You Win, Its On You, If You Lose, Its On Me Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus lips twitched, trying her best to hide the unnatural expression on her face as if she was exining to everyone. Uncle, um, I identally touched you. Li Yan bent down slightly and approached her. He spoke slowly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, Niece, how dare you touch your uncle in front of others! Qiao Mu was speechless. Could she tear his mouth apart? No matter how angry or embarrassed Qiao Mu was, she had to pretend that nothing had happened in front of others. Qiao Mu forcefully pulled her hand back and lowered her head to eat, no longer paying attention to this big pervert! After teasing her, Li Yans expression became slightly better. He was angry because she imed to be his nephew in front of others. This little thing really knew how to use the excuse of her uncle to deal with things! Didnt she want to pull him into her battle camp for her to use? If she really had such intentions, she would not be so slow! After the meal, Chief Su left. Lu Jingzhi had nothing to do. He looked at Li Yan and said casually, Big brother, we need one more yer. Stay and y cards. Lu Jingzhi estimated that with Qiao Mu around, Li Yan would have left with his little nephew, but he was not rejected as he expected. Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu. You know how to y cards? I guess so. Qiao Mu nodded. She had yed games on mobile games before. Then go y with them. Li Yan said calmly. Qiao Mu was stunned. She leaned closer to Li Yan and asked softly, ls it for entertainment or for real money? I dont have money to lose! Li Yan was speechless. Was money the only thing on this little fellows mind? Li Yan nced at her. We havent even started ying yet and youre already thinking that youll lose? Dont you have any future? Qiao Mu pursed her lips unhappily and muttered softly, Gambling requires capital. Without capital, of course you will feel guilty. Lu Jingzhi walked over and smiled. Little nephew, you dont have to worry. If you lose, your uncle will pay for it! Qiao Mu red at Lu Jingzhi. Whos your nephew?! Lu Jingzhi shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He did not want such a troublesome nephew. Only people like his eldest brother were willing to worry about this! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up slightly, and his mood seemed to have improved. He rubbed her head and generously said what Qiao Mu liked to hear.lf you win, its on you. If you lose, its on me. As expected, Qiao Mus eyes instantly lit up. She had never thought that such a dream would fall on her head! Since he had already said that, how could she not ept his good intentions? The group moved to the mahjong room in the inner room. When Qiao Mu learned the number of yards she was betting on, she lost herposure. How was this ying cards? This was obviously a gamble. Big gamble! Alright, she was indeed inexperienced and too country bumpkin! Since someone was paying, Qiao Mu happily sat down to y cards. The man who paid for her waszily sitting on the sofa behind her. He wasnt very close to her, which was exactly what Qiao Mu wanted. He wasnt that nervous this way. However, after ying a few rounds in a row, Qiao Mu lost miserably! It was either she touched herself or she lit a cannon for someone else. Why was her luck so bad? She had originally hoped to make a fortune! Li Yan sat at the side. His gaze did not fall on Qiao Mus cards, but on her face. The little fellow stared at the cards in front of him seriously, frowning slightly, as if calcting which card to y.. Chapter 92 - 92: A Good Hand of Cards Chapter 92: A Good Hand of Cards Trantor: 549690339 Her little hands were still tapping on the table from time to time. The way she was thinking did not match her clean little face. Her reaction speed was not slow, but after all, luck and experience still yed a big role, but it seemed that she did not have either today. When Qiao Mu fired another shot, Lu Jingzhi put down his cards and smiled. Big Brother, are you in a good mood today, so you sent your little nephew to give us red packets? This card game is really good! Qiao Mu was speechless. Dont humiliate me like this! Li Yan found it funny when he saw the little boys unhappy expression. After 20 minutes, Qiao Mu could no longer remain calm. She turned around and waved at Li Yan, who was watching calmly. Her big eyes were full of pleading as she discussed in a low voice,Uncle, can youe over and sit beside me? Hmm? My luck isnt very good. If youe over and sit, you might be able to improve my luck! Li Yans lips curled into a beautiful smile. He stood up slowly and sat down beside her. Qiao Mu red at Li Yan worriedly. Dont order me around. Just sit there obediently! Alright. Li Yan replied in a good-natured manner. This action made the other three men feel very surprised. This was the first time she had seen someone giving orders in front of Li Yan. Moreover, he was so good-natured that he would do whatever she said. It was simply unbelievable! Just look at the way he was looking at Qiao Mu. It was as if he had frozen over when he was eating just now, but in just a short while, he was already so gentle! Every time she saw Li Yan and Qiao Mu interact, she would be shocked. The way they interacted was too unbelievable. It waspletely different from the past, but it was also somewhat simr. Back then, Qiao Mu was never afraid of Li Yan, and Li Yan was never fierce to her. He always had a good temper. But now, it hadpletely changed. While the others were distracted, Qiao Mu suddenlyughed loudly and mmed her cards heavily on the table. Draw yourself! Self-touch? It had been more than half an hour since the game started, and this was the first time Qiao Mu had won. The three of them subconsciously looked at her cards at the same time, and then a trace of surprise appeared in their eyes at the same time. Because Qiao Mu cheated! Lu Jingzhiughed and pointed at Qiao Mus cards. I said, your cards As Lu Jingzhi was speaking, he suddenly felt a cold light sweep over him. He raised his head and met Li Yans gaze. It was filled with warning and threat. Lu Jingzhis words stopped abruptly. Su Chen and Lei Yi naturally felt it too. Whats wrong with my cards? Qiao Mu asked in confusion. Su Chen said nonchntly, lts okay. You yed your cards well. Indeed. Lu Jingzhi replied, Yes, you did well Thats great! Whats so good about it! There was no distinction between three and four stripes. It was only considered a joke if there were three stripes, but she had four stripes! Qiao Mu took the money and turned to look at Li Yan with sparkling eyes. Uncle, I won. Did you see that? Youve really brought me good luck. Once youe over, Ill win! Looks like my good luck begins now! Her tone was filled with joy, as if she was proud of herself and was asking Li Yan for credit. Most importantly, Young Master Li was leaning back in his chair with an indifferent expression and a smile on his lips, as if he was truly happy for Qiao Mus Hu card. Qiao Mu did not know that Li Yan was the only one who catered to her with respect. The other three men were all praying that their little nephew would not mess things up again. Young Master Li still dared to y cards at such a level. Wasnt he tantly scamming money? [Young Master Li, is it really good for you to spoil your little nephew so willfully? There are still two chapters left to be updated during the day. Ill rmend you..] Chapter 93 - 93: You Treat Her Too Well Chapter 93: You Treat Her Too Well Trantor: 549690339 After that, the three men figured out what Young Master Li was thinking and could only make it difficult for them to fulfill Young Master Lis wish. Even if someone won, they would continue to y silently, waiting for Qiao Mu to win. Lu Jingzhi really regretted his foul mouth. Why did he ask Young Master Li to y cards? In the end, the three of them were ying house with a little girl! Su Chens assistant arrived. Su Chen stood up and asked his assistant to y cards for him. He couldnt y this kind of game. Lu Jingzhi red at Su Chen. This man was really prescient. Why didnt he think of calling his assistant over? Li Yan poured a ss of red wine in front of the wine cab and leisurely watched Qiao Mu win happily. Su Chen walked over and leaned against the wine cab. He followed Li Yans gaze and his gazended on Qiao Mu. Su Chen nced at Li Yan and said calmly, That night, she must have been frightened, right? Im sure youve never experienced such a scene before. Li Yan swirled the wine in his hand without batting an eyelid. After hearing about Li Yans actions that night, Su Chen realized Qiao Mus importance. It was said that when he found out about Qiao Mus ident at the airport that day, Li Yan immediately sent a helicopter to the destination as fast as possible. Such a small matter could have been resolved with just a few words, but he had done it himself. Thinking of this, Su Chen couldnt help but say, Brother, youre too good to her. She paused in her movements as she swirled her wine ss. Her deep and dark eyes were emotionless as she looked up at Su Chen. Do you have a problem with that? Su Chen smiled faintly. I wouldnt dare. Its just that shes from the Qiao family after all. Li Yans seductive eyes were slightly raised. His expression waszy and one could not tell his emotions. After the mahjong game ended, Qiao Mu returned with a full load and was extremely happy. On the way back, Li Yan personally drove the car. The little guy beside him was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He looked like a money-grubber. Qiao Mu was indescribably excited. Her backpack was filled with her spoils of war. She had struck it rich tonight! She worked part-time to earn extra money. She could earn at most one or two thousand yuan a month. Tonight, she had earned tens of thousands of yuan by ying cards! He could now pay back part of the money he owed Chi Xia. Qiao Mu looked up and saw Li Yans gazending on her backpack. She tightened her grip on the backpack as she looked at him with a slightly guarded expression. Li Yan looked at her good-for-nothing appearance and said helplessly, I wont fight with you. I said that if I win, its yours. Its yours. Qiao Mu grinned and moved closer to Li Yan enthusiastically. Uncle, youre so good to me! This little things requirements were really low! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he turned his head to look at her. Oh? Then shouldnt you perform well? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes and nodded sincerely. You should perform well. Why dont I give you half of the money I won today? The mans long and narrow eyes seemed to contain a smile. Little thing, do you know what youre best at? Qiao Mu looked at him with a puzzled expression. Then, she saw the mans thin lips move, and he indifferently spat out two words, Act dumb! * Cough * He still had the nerve to expose her! How could she not y dumb with such an ambiguous hint? Just as Qiao Mu was chuckling innocently, a deep voice slowly sounded. Since youre so sincere in wanting to give me half, Ill ept your kindness. Why was this man so insensible! She was just being polite with him.. She didnt really want to give him the money! Chapter 94 - 94: If You Don ‘t Want to Die, Sit Down Chapter 94: If You Don t Want to Die, Sit Down Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus small face scrunched up into a ball. Her expression was extremely unwilling, but her tone softened. Uncle, you dont need this bit of money. If a man is too stingy, no woman will like him. Its okay, as long as you like it! I dont like you! Qiao Mu subconsciously replied. This man was really narcissistic. Almost at the same time as she finished speaking, the mans eyes darkened, and the temperature in the car instantly dropped. It was as if the weather in June had changed! Qiao Mu instantly became nervous, as ifDid he say something wrong? Qiao Mu clenched her fists and subconsciously gulped to ease the stiff atmosphere. Dont like it? Very good! Li Yans thin lips were tightly pursed. His well-defined facial features outlined a cold and hard line. His deep ck eyes stared ahead. He did not need to speak to feel the terrifying pressure. She was finally willing to tell the truth? All this while, she had been fawning over him. Because she was afraid that she would be threatened by him, she had no choice but to curry favor with him. The little girl who used to like him wholeheartedly and pester him was now forced to get close to him! Anger surged in her heart. As expected, she was still the same as before. As long as it was beneficial to her, she was willing to do it! He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and turned to look at her, his eyes filled with warning. Qiao Mu, as my woman, you have no right to say that you dont like her! But I dont like it! Qiao Mu raised her chin. She had finally decided to go against him. How could he be so overbearing and unreasonable?! The mans lips curled into a devilish smile. Its okay. I will make you fall in love with me! . Ive never seen someone as narcissistic as you! Qiao Mu had just finished speaking when the car suddenly sped up and flew out with a whoosh, causing her to somersault. She red angrily at the man who was driving. Why did you suddenly drive so fast?! If you dont love me, Ill die with you. Qiao Mu was speechless. Was he threatening him with death? However, why was there no trace of a yful smile in his eyes when he said this? His face was so serious that it was rare to see it. His expression was very stern,pletely different from when he was fierce towards her! Li Yan, are you serious Before Qiao Mu could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard the sound of a collision from behind the car. Immediately after, the car lost its bnce and shifted to the side. She turned her head abruptly and saw arge truck behind her. It was following closely behind. The collision just now must have been the truck kissing her butt! Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock. ThisWhat was going on? Uncle, did the brakes fail? Qiao Mu stared intently at the truck behind them. However, the road was so wide. If he failed, could he not follow so closely? She suddenly reacted and pointed behind her in panic. Uncle, did you offend someone Shut up! Li Yan held the steering wheel with one hand and pressed her body down with the other. His voice was cold. Sit tight if you dont want to die. Hold on tight! Qiao Mu pursed her lips and took a deep breath. She only realized the severity of the matter after seeing Li Yans reaction! Uncle, even if you have any enemies, dont drag me into this. Why dont you let me off the car and settle your own matters? Oh? You mean, you want me to stop the car now? If they stopped the car now, the two of them would be crushed into meat patties at the same time! Qiao Mu didnt dare to speak anymore. She bit her lip tightly, and the panic in her eyes was unconcealed.. Chapter 95 - 95: Die with Me, Are You Afraid? Chapter 95: Die with Me, Are You Afraid? Trantor: 549690339 The car sped along at high speed. In order to avoid the truck chasing after them, the car scuttled back and forth on the wide road, shaking Qiao Mu until she wanted to vomit. There was no time to see the scene outside the car clearly. It shed past his eyes in an instant. The scene was very thrilling. Qiao Mu gripped the safety armrest tightly. Her breathing became erratic, and she was unable to calm herself down. Did she use up all her good luck ying cards tonight? Why did she have to encounter such an unfortunate thing! Li Yan nced at the pale little thing and smiled. He turned the steering wheel skillfully and said in a gloating tone, Little nephew, it seems like you dont like me and have been punished by the heavens. Thats why the heavens want us to die together as punishment. Qiao Mu looked like she was about to cry. Uncle, can you concentrate on driving? At this time, could he not joke around? Could he not tell that she was really afraid? Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes and lowered his voice. Die with me. Are you afraid? I dont want to die! As long as you say that you love me, you wont die! Almost as soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Qiao Mu shouted without hesitation, love you! Li Yan sneered. He was not sincere at all. This little thing was willing to say anything to save her life! Bang! They collided again! The car jolted and flew to the side unsteadily. Qiao Mus face turned even paler, and she shouted in exasperation, Ive already said that I love you, Li Yan. If you dont keep your word, I wont believe you anymore! Dont be nervous, hold on tight! Li Yans voice was neither hurried nor slow. He gently held Qiao Mus hand, and Qiao Mus heart instantly felt at ease. At the same time, the car sped up. Li Yan quickly turned the steering wheel. The car made a sharp grinding sound on the ground. Then, it made a sharp turn. The car shook violently. It sessfully shook off the truck and turned to the sidene. With a bang, the truck behind the car crashed into the roadside fence. Everything returned to normal. Li Yan looked at the little thing beside him, who was so scared that her face was pale. The hand on herp was clenched tightly into a fist, as if she had not recovered from her nervousness. Her heart softened inexplicably, and she felt a faint heartache. She should not be experiencing such a scene with him. To him, this was nothing. It was a normal thing, but when had she ever had such a thrilling experience? Qiao Mus arm reached over and gently pulled her petite body into her embrace. Her body stiffened, and she raised her head to look at him. Are you alright? Yes, its all in the past. Qiao Mu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a narrow escape! When she recalled how the car had bumped violently just now, Qiao Mu immediately grabbed Li Yan and checked him. Are you hurt? Li Yan was stunned. He looked at the little things nervous face and his eyes darkened. He could not tell what he was feeling. At this moment, Lei Yi rushed over and stood outside the car. Young Master, Im sorry Imte. Li Yan looked at Lei Yi and his eyes darkened. Find out who sent them! Yes. The back of Li Yans car had been damaged by the truck and could not be driven anymore. On the way back, Li Yan and Qiao Mu sat in Lei Yis car. Qiao Mu regained her senses and sat as close to the car door as she could to Li Yan, as if she had thorns all over her body. Li Yan nced at her. Ever since he got into the car, this little thing had been keeping a distance from her. It was as if he was a virus, and she wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.. Chapter 96 - 96: Can I Not Be Your Person? Chapter 96: Can I Not Be Your Person? Trantor: 549690339 The atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Qiao Mu lowered her head and gripped her seatbelt tightly. She still had lingering fear when she recalled the thrilling scene just now. She raised her head and looked at the man beside her. Her expression was calm as if nothing had happened. Only then did Qiao Mu realize that she really did not understand this man at all. Uncle, do you have a lot of enemies? she asked, biting her lip. Quite a few. That casual tone made it seem as if he was not talking about his own matters. Li Yan looked down at her. Are you afraid? Qiao Mu straightened her back. Afraid? What was there to be afraid of? Ive been through ups and downs before. Im not afraid of these small waves! Oh? Was that so? It doesnt matter, youll have the chance to experience real storms in the future. Li Yans casual words extinguished Qiao Mus arrogance in an instant. She had to be stubborn for a moment. Could he not expose her? How could she not be afraid of such a scene? All this while, although she was in danger in the Qiao family, it was all a battle of wits! Compared to this kind of danger that could kill someone at any time, it was simply not presentable. She had always known that Li Yan was very powerful, but she did not expect his identity to be soplicated. How could a simple businessman be silenced by others? The little thing looked like it wanted to escape, which made Li Yans expression turn colder. Qiao Mu, let me remind you, dont try to get any ideas! If you be my person, you naturally have to bear a certain risk! His tone was overbearing and domineering, and his superior attitude made Qiao Mu feel a hint of rebellion. She raised her head and red at him. Then can I not be your woman? In an instant, the air pressure in the car dropped to its lowest. Li Yans lips were pursed into a thin line. His sharp ck eyes stared at Qiao Mu for a long time before the corners of his lips curled into a cold arc. Sure! Qiao Mu was startled by this affirmative answer. But then, the mans voice sounded again.The Qiao familys vi is right in front. Shall we go and talk to your stepmother? Qiao Mus expression changed drastically in an instant. This bastard! Threatening her again! Qiao Mu lowered her head and ignored him. Suddenly, her chin was mped by the man, and she was forced to look up to meet his gaze. Qiao Mu, theres no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world. Since youve chosen to be with me, you have no right to go back on your word halfway! Qiao Mu couldnt help but spit. Shameless! Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes and said with a hint of cruelty, Theres nothing that I cant get. You either want to be with me willingly, or youll be forced to be my bed partner! Bed partner! Li Yans words were like a knife stabbing into her heart, causing her heart to ache. It turned out that she was just a bed partner! Qiao Mu smiled sarcastically. I want to ask Young Master Li, are you willing to fall out with your cousin for the sake of your bed partner? Li Yan red at her coldly. That depends on the value of the bed partner! Qiao Mus chest was so heavy that she could not breathe. She gritted her teeth so hard that she did not reveal the slightest emotion. The car stopped, and Qiao Mu got out of the car without looking back. She rushed into the Li residences main gate. She had no right to make a choice, so she had to be obedient, alright? Li Yan looked at the petite figure, his face scarily dark. He knew that this little thing had been forced to be with him from the beginning. She knew that if he didnt stand on her side, she would have no chance of winning if she fell out with Yu Tingyun. Therefore, she had been trying to please him against her will and did not really want to be with him.. Chapter 97 - 97: She Really Dared to Run! Chapter 97: She Really Dared to Run! Trantor: 549690339 This little thing had always chosen things that were beneficial to her under harsh conditions. She was like this now. Ten years agoThat was also the case! He clenched his fists tightly. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, enough to show his suppressed anger. It was extremely quiet in the car. Lei Yi, who was sitting in the drivers seat, did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that he would identally ignite the mine. Lei Yi had been by Li Yans side for many years. Although he did not grow up together with Su Chen and the others, Lei Yi had been working under Li Yan for so long that he naturally had a grasp of this young masters thoughts and temperament. All these years, Li Yan had never had a woman by his side, let alone be so attentive to a woman. Before Qiao Mus appearance, Lei Yi had always felt that this man was an emperor who was born to be independent. His career would forever be his everything, and he would never be distracted by a woman. However, that night when Qiao Mu was in trouble, Lei Yi realized that this man would also be anxious for someone. The concern hidden under his emotions was something that people who didnt know him well wouldnt be able to detect. However, could the young master really win her over by treating her with such an attitude? After all, Qiao Mu was only an 18 -year-old little girl! Inside the house, Qiao Mu sat angrily on the sofa. After a while, the door opened behind her, and Li Yan entered the house. Qiao Mu thought to herself that she must fight the supreme demon to the end. Even if her resistance was futile, she had to mess with him and let him Imow that she was not easy to bully! HoweverThe man behind her didnt get close and went straight upstairs! Qiao Mu stared at the tall figure on the second floor in shock and gritted her teeth in anger. He was still ignoring her, so she should be the one angry! The tall figure disappeared, and Qiao Mus arrogance waspletely extinguished. What right did she have to be angry? She was just a bed partner! Qiao Mu felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen as a warm current gushed out. She realized something and immediately went to the washroom to confirm that her period was here. It came too suddenly. Qiao Mu did not have sanitary pads, and a certain man was currently giving her a cold war. She did not want to take the initiative to go up to him. After thinking about it, she could only go out and buy them herself. It waste at night, and there were no supermarkets nearby. Qiao Mu regretted it the moment she stepped out of the door. Li Yan had said that there were scavengers sleeping on the streets nearby. When she thought of this, her hair stood on end. Qiao Mu thought about it and decided that it was safer to return to the Qiao family. At this moment, in the study room upstairs, smoke filled the entire room. Li Yan smoked one cigarette after another. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts, but he still could not calm the frustration in his heart. He wanted to strangle her to death whenever he thought about how she wanted to leave him. Ten years! He had waited ten years for her to be his. Did she think that he would let her go just like that? Li Yan knew that Qiao Mu liked to y tricks, but her heart was pure. She had never experienced anything as risky as tonight. He had no intention of putting her in danger at all. He had only said those words to her in the car to scare her. However, she really thought that she would not have a good life with him! Li Yan lit up another cigarette and his gaze inadvertently fell outside the window. A petite figure was sneaking toward the door. His eyes instantly darkened! She really dared to run! Li Yan pursed his lips and strode out of the study. He went out like the wind and caught the little woman who was about to escape. Where are you going? Qiao Mu was nervously looking around the main entrance, worried that she would bump into the Qiao family. Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from behind her, giving her a fright.. Chapter 98 - 98: Is This Auntie? Chapter 98: Is This Auntie? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu turned around and saw the man in the darkness. She pursed her lips. I want to go home! Go home? Li Yans eyes glinted coldly as he strode over to Qiao Mu. Have youpletely forgotten my warning to you? You still dare to sneak away? The mans tone was so cold that it made Qiao Mu shrink her neck subconsciously. Why was he so fierce! How was she sneaking away? He didnt care about her. Her period was here, so she could only think of a way herself! Qiao Mu angrily pushed him away and turned to leave. However, before he could take two steps, he was pulled back. Before she could steady herself, she felt a hand on her waist and another on the back of her head. She was pinned in his arms and her lips were sealed. Oh Bastard! His kiss was extremely rough and it rubbed against her lips, making her feel extremely ufortable. His tongue invaded her mouth forcefully, as if he wanted to swallow her whole. She pushed him hard, but it was useless. At this moment, a car drove over and stopped outside the Li familys gate. Qiao Mus eyes widened abruptly as she pounded his chest. They were standing by the gate, and the car behind them was most likely from the Qiao family! Li Yan turned around and faced the door with his back. He wrapped his arms around Qiao Mu and protected her petite body in front of his chest. Outside the door, a surprised voice sounded. Uncle, youre? It was Qiao Ya! Qiao Mu instantly tensed up. Its over, itll be bad if Qiao Ya sees it! Qiao Mu obediently hid in Li Yans embrace and stared at him pitifully, Compared to Qiao Mus nervousness, Li Yans expression remained unchanged. The mans lips were pressed close to her ear. Qiao Mu could feel the hot air from his mouth hitting her face, causing her ears to unconsciously turn red. Immediately after, a mans voice sounded in her ear.Arent you going home? You can leave now. As he spoke, he pretended to let go of her hand. Qiao Mu stiffened. Without even thinking, she directly hugged his waist tightly and shook her head vigorously at him. Qiao Mu knew that she was a good-for-nothing. As long as she was threatened by him, she wouldpletely admit defeat! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. His cold and mocking voice rang out. Why are you so nervous? If your stepmother finds out that youre with me, wouldnt that make us even closer? ..Oh my god, can you stop teasing me? If Yu Tingyun found out, she would tear her apart. Li Yan was her uncle in name! The crime of seducing her uncle was enough to chase her out of the Qiao family! Behind him, Qiao Yas voice sounded again. Uncle, this isAuntie? Qiao Mu was speechless. Auntie your sister! But thinking about it, if Qiao Ya called her auntie, it would actually be quite satisfying! Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan, and she could vaguely sense that the corners of his lips curled up faintly when he heard this form of address. Immediately after, her head was pressed against his chest. The man tilted his head slightly and spat out a word coldly. Get lost! That voice was devoid of warmth, but it also contained a trace of displeasure and annoyance. Qiao Mu felt a little d that this was not directed at her. She could totally imagine how awful Qiao Yas expression was at this moment. Soon, the car started and drove into the Qiao familys main gate. Qiao Mu was about to heave a sigh of relief when she raised her head and saw Li Yan looking at her with a cold expression. It was obvious that this little episode did not change the topic.. Chapter 99 - 99: 1 1 m Helping You Keep Watch Chapter 99: 1 1 m Helping You Keep Watch Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu embarrassedly released her hand from his waist, and a warm current gushed out from somewhere. She immediately had a bad feeling. She immediately remembered the purpose ofing out. She did not care if Li Yan was still angry or not. She said anxiously,Uncle, I really have to go home today. Hmm? Li Yan frowned slightly. Im on my period. I didnt prepare that. Its not convenient to go out and buy it sote, so I want to go home and get it. Hearing this, Li Yans furrowed brows slowly rxed. This little thing was not trying to take the opportunity to slip away. Li Yan didnt say a word and led Qiao Mu into the courtyard. Qiao Mu was a little anxious. Hey, Little Uncle, do you understand what Im saying?! However, Qiao Mu soon knew what Li Yan wanted to do because she was stuffed into the car. Uncle, theres really no need to go through so much trouble. Ill just go home Shut up! Actually, she really didnt find it troublesome. It was just that she was afraid that it would be toote to find the supermarket and buy things! Qiao family. The moment Qiao Ya entered the house, she mmed the door angrily. Yu Tingyun frowned unhappily. Your father is upstairs. Whats wrong with you? Youre a girl. Cant you be moredylike? Mom, do you think Li Yan is my biological uncle? Why does he dislike me so much? Qiao Yained. Yu Tingyun was startled. What happened? Did you offend him? How would I dare to provoke him? I have such a powerful uncle. I cant wait to get close to him, but he doesnt treat me as his nephew at all! When I saw him hugging a woman in the Li familys courtyard just now, I thought he had a girlfriend and wanted to go over and get to know my auntie, but he told me to get lost! Qiao Ya was furious. She had never been so embarrassed before! Girlfriend? Li Yan has a girlfriend? Yu Tingyun was stunned. Yeah, the two of them are quite close. Qiao Ya snorted and looked at Yu Tingyun. Mom, why dont we have a good rtionship with the Li family? With such a rtive in our family, we should be able to bask in some light. Yu Tingyuns face turned cold. Do you have any ambition? The Qiao family and the Yu family are two bigpanies. Do we need to take advantage of others? He has a bad attitude towards you. Maybe he quarreled with his girlfriend and you just happened to hit a snag. Dont think too much about it! But I keep feeling that our rtionship with uncle is not close at all. How many people want to curry favor with someone of uncles status? If . Alright! Yu Tingyun interrupted her unhappily, her expression ugly. Seeing this, Qiao Ya didnt dare to say anything more. There were very few cars on the streets at night. Li Yan drove the car and looked for a 24-hour supermarket. After Qiao Mu got into the car, she kept looking around. In the end, she directly knelt on the seat and faced the back of the car. Li Yan saw her moving around like a rabbit and asked, What are you doing? Its not convenient for my body. Is this positionfortable? No! Qiao Mu red at him, then said seriously, lm helping you keep watch. If theres an emergency behind the car, I can report to you in time. Li Yan was speechless. So this little guy was still thinking about the truck! He turned to look at her. Sit properly! Oh. Qiao Mu was obedient. Hisrge hand rubbed the top of her head, and his cold tone softened a little. What happened tonight was an ident. It wont happen again. Qiao Mu was stunned. Only then did she realize that he was exining to her.. Chapter 100 - 100: You Can ‘t Bear to Rub Me Chapter 100: You Can t Bear to Rub Me Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu replied with an oh again. Since he said it was fine, then it must be fine! Actually, she had always believed in his words. Although this man was very unreliable, he should be able to do what he said. The car stopped. Li Yan took out his wallet from his pocket and handed it to her. Go buy it. Qiao Mu grabbed his wallet and opened the car door. Just as she was about to step out, she felt that something was wrong under her butt, so she retracted her leg. She looked at the man awkwardly. Uncle, can you help me buy it? Hmm? I feel like my pants are dirty! Li Yans gaze drifted toward Qiao Mus butt. When he saw her troubled expression, his coquettish eyes narrowed slightly as if he was smiling. Qiao Mus face turned slightly red. This was truly too embarrassing! However, would he help her buy such things? As she was thinking, the man had already taken her wallet from her hand and opened the car door to get out. When Li Yan entered the supermarket, he saw a huge variety of sanitary pads on the shelves. He then remembered that he had forgotten to ask her what brand she used. He stood at the side and looked around for a while before locking onto the most expensive brand on the shelf. This was the first time he had bought such a thing. After reading the various descriptions of the day and night use, the omnipotent man frowned slightly. He didnt know which type was morefortable, so he simply took a few packs of each. When Li Yan was checking out with the shopping basket, the cashier saw the basket of sanitary pads and looked at Li Yan, who had a calm expression on his face. She wanted to ask him something, but when she saw his cold face and his attitude of keeping strangers away, she could only pay the bill silently. Qiao Mu, who was in the car, was wondering why Li Yan had been gone for so long when she saw a tall figure walk out. When her gazended on the bag in his hand, Qiao Mus first reaction was that he had bought some food for her while he was at it. However, when Li Yan handed her the bag, she realized that it was full of sanitary pads. Is it enough? the man asked. Qiao Mus face darkened. Uncle, this is not enough. Do you want me to die from excessive blood loss? A crack appeared on Li Yans face. Although it was only for an instant, he returned to being cold, but Qiao Mu still caught it with a nce. Finally, there was something that he, Young Master Li, did not know about! Qiao Mu flipped through the different types of sanitary pads and said in an indifferent tone, Uncle, arent you too nice to your bed partner? The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. Oh? So you have masochistic tendencies? I understand. Ill satisfy your requests in the future and torture you as much as I can. Dont misinterpret her meaning, okay? Qiao Mu was indignant. Uncle, your bed partner has lost its function at this stage, yet youre still treating her so attentively. How can you bear to torture me! Other than what you think, the role of a bed partner is also to warm the bed! Qiao Mu was speechless. She had lost countless battles of words! He was simply looking for abuse! When she returned to the Li residence, Qiao Mu rushed into the bathroom in a sorry state. She took a shower and tidied herself up beforeing out of the bathroom. Li Yan sat on the bed and made a phone call. asionally, he would let out an okay as he listened to the person on the other end of the phone. Qiao Mu looked at the man leaning against the headboard. He was wearing a loose sleeping robe, and the belt around his waist was not fastened, faintly exposing his firm chest. He had one leg propped up, and his arm waszily resting on his knee. His entire person was veryzy, and that posture looked sexy no matter how you looked at it.. Chapter 101 - 101: Do You Want Me to Comply With You? Chapter 101: Do You Want Me to Comply With You? Trantor: 549690339 This mans casual pose was perfect. A man who looked like this was really a scourge! Just as Qiao Mu was sizing up a certain man, a gaze suddenly swept over. She did not manage to avoid it in time and was caught red-handed peeping! The man raised his handsome eyebrows and stared straight at Qiao Mu with his cold and charming eyes. The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile. His expression was clearly devilish and devilish, yet he could still reply with a hmm into the phone in a serious manner. Qiao Mu was a little embarrassed by his stare. She red back at him, then slowly climbed onto the bed andy down beside it. After a night of torment, she was very tired. After lying down, she closed her eyes and almost fell asleep. Just as she was in a daze, arge hand covered her waist. The burning body behind her leaned over and immediately woke her up. The mans deep voice rang in her ears. Little thing, I asked you to warm the bed and you slept close to it. Do you want me to amodate you? Qiao Mu turned around in shock, but before she could meet his gaze, her lips were already sealed. His scorching lips came at Qiao Mu without any warning and swallowed her without giving her the slightest chance to react. Her lips were like a beautiful delicacy, making him extremely addicted to eating them. He wished he could rub her into his body. A certain part of his body felt unusually ufortable and he had no choice but to leave her lips. The little things face was red as she panted heavily. Her big, watery eyes blinked. That look was very tempting! The color of his ck eyes darkened. Li Yan pressed her little head into his arms and said in a hoarse voice, Warm my bed obediently! His body was abnormally hot. His body temperature was transmitted to her through contact, making her feel as if she had a fever. Her heart was beating faster and faster. She could clearly feel their heartbeats merging together. Her heart was beating wildly, while his was steady and rhythmic. Who was warming whose bed? Her body rxed bit by bit. She moved slightly in his arms and identally touched a part that she shouldnt have touched. Instantly, his body stiffened and he did not dare to move. Even though she was very nervous, she was still very tired, so Qiao Mus breathing soon became even. However, Li Yan did not fall asleep so easily. The soft fragrance in his arms was like jade, and his nose was filled with a pleasant fragrance. It was like a waking medicine, making his body that was ready to attack unable to rx at all. He took a deep breath and looked down at the little girl in his arms. After the little thing fell asleep, her entire body was soft and her little face was as delicate and clean as a babys. The little mouth that was pressed against his chest opened slightly and smacked unconsciously. There was also a faint whimper from her nose, just like a little pig. Li Yans heart meltedpletely. This face was almost identical to ten years ago. Back then, this little thing was just so cute. At that time, she was tired of chasing him around, so she sat beside him and leaned against him, snoring away. After he fell asleep, there was still a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth. He had always been a clean freak, but he did not feel dirty. He even had the urge to kiss him. Of course, Li Yan could not bear to do such a perverted act. However, one day, Qiao Mu returned from kindergarten and excitedly told him that she saw a man and a woman hugging and kissing each other on the street. At that time, Qiao Mu had tied her hair into two ponytails and pouted. Big brother, I also heard that girl say that since she kissed her, she had to be responsible for her.. Does kissing mean that the two of them will definitely be together? Chapter 102 - 102: You Have to Be Accountable to Me! Chapter 102: You Have to Be ountable to Me! Trantor: 549690339 Looking at the little things infatuated face, Li Yan nodded and replied, Mm. Then, he saw the little girls eyes shining brightly. She ced her small school bag on the table and shouted,Big brother, I drew a very beautiful painting today. Come and take a look! Little Qiao Mu was lying on the table with a painting in her hand. She kept waving at Li Yan, but Li Yan had no choice but to go over. Just as he raised his head to look at her and was about to ask her what she was drawing, the little face in front of him immediately moved closer. Then, their first kiss was gone. Li Yan did not even have the time to savor the soft touch when he saw the little girl jump far away. She stared at him shyly, but her eyes were filled with pride after she had seeded. Big brother, you stole a kiss from me. You have to take responsibility! The little girl left behind this sentence and covered her face as she ran away. Li Yan was speechless. Li Yan did not know whether tough or cry. This little girl had clearly nned it out. Be responsible for Li Yan really wanted to take responsibility for her. However, when the Li family was preparing to move, he wanted to take her away, but he overheard her conversation with Qiao Ya The little thing in his arms moved slightly, interrupting Li Yans train of thought. The touch of his body was very real, so real that he did not want to let go. He gently stroked her hair and tucked her messy hair behind her ear. Her pitch-ck eyes darkened. A low and hoarse voice rang out beside her ear, Qiao Mu, youd better be obedient! Qiao Mu, who was in her sleep, seemed to hear something, and with a grunt, she burrowed into that sturdy chest. After breakfast the next day, Li Yan handed a phone to Qiao Mu. At the same time, he warned, Dont leave your phone with you in the future. I dont want to be unable to contact you again. Qiao Mu looked at the nouveau riche phone in her hand, which was the same model as Li Yan but in a different color. She nodded heavily. Dont worry, Uncle. Ill definitely cherish this phone and treat it as the most precious gift youve given me! Li Yan nced at her indifferently. I said Ill give it to you? Borrowing! Take good care of it. If you lose this, you wont be able to afford it. Qiao Mu was speechless. You dont have to stay in the school dormitory for the next few days. Ill pick you up every day, Li Yan said. Why? Isnt that inconvenient? Qiao Mu had just finished speaking when she received a cold re. How do you know that its inconvenient for me? Qiao Mu secretly pursed her lips. Alright, this man must have thought that she yed a good role in warming the bedst night. Li Yan sent Qiao Mu to school and watched her enter the school gate. Then, he picked up his phone and dialed Lei Yis number. Send someone to keep a close eye on Qiao Mu and clean upst nights matter. This kind of thing must not happen a second time! Qiao Mu met Han Su at school. She walked over to greet him and couldnt help but ask, Senior, let me ask you a personal question. Are you in love? Even if he was harmed by Yao Shu, he had to let her understand the reason, right? Han Su was slightly stunned, but then he smiled. Mu Mu, are you going to confess to me or introduce me to a girlfriend? Forget about introducing a girlfriend. I think youre quite suitable. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at him. Senior, Im serious. Are you dating Yao Shu? Who is Yao Shu? Han Su was baffled.. Mu Mu, when did you be so nosy? Where did you hear this news? Chapter 103 - 103: This Person Is Not Han Su Chapter 103: This Person Is Not Han Su Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu smiled. Senior, youre not deliberately hiding your rtionship, are you? Whats so shameful about being in a rtionship? Yao Shu told me personally that youre secretly dating her. Han Su frowned slightly. Are you kidding me? Who was Yao Shu? I dont n on dating before I graduate. Han Sus tone was serious. When he mentioned Yao Shu, his eyes were very unfamiliar. Qiao Mu believed in Han Sus character, not to mention that such an irresponsible behavior was something that even a man with a little bit of character would not do. But at the same time, he couldnt figure out that Yao Shu didnt seem to be making up a story. If he didnt really misunderstand that there was something between her and Han Su, he wouldnt have helped Qiao Ya plot against her. She couldnt just suffer a loss for nothing. This matter was simply ridiculous! Qiao Mu parted ways with Han Su in confusion and walked into the teaching building. Coincidentally, she bumped into Yao Shu. Yao Shu shot Qiao Mu a sarcastic nce. I thought you were too ashamed toe to ss. I heard that the mayors son was doing something shameful in his private residence. Qiao Mu, I remember that you were among them that night. Qiao Mu narrowed her cold eyes. Yao Shu knew what that ce was for, but she didnt feel guilty at all! At this moment, Qiao Mu realized that the roommate she had spent half a year with was so unfamiliar! Yao Shus face was full of disdain. Why are you ring at me? After doing something shameful, why would he be afraid of others saying it? You pretend to be pure, but youre actually very cheap! Qiao Mu raised her hand at Yao Shu and sneered. What? Do you want to be pped by me again? Yao Shuts expression changed. She was ady, and she could notpete with Qiao Mu! Yao Shu turned to leave, but Qiao Mu stopped her and asked coldly, Am I really dating Senior Han Su? You already know! I asked Senior Han Su. He said he doesnt know anyone! Yao Shus expression changed and she red at Qiao Mu. Dont try to sow discord between us! Yao Shu angrily took out her phone and dialed a number. She then handed the phone to Qiao Mu. If you dont give up, Ill give you a quick death! Looking at Yao Shus confidence, Qiao Mu took the phone and ced it by her ear. A male voice sounded, Baby, we just got togetherst night. You miss me so soon? This voice Who are you? Youre not Han Su! Qiao Mu questioned coldly. Yao Shu snatched the phone, but the call ended. Yao Shu, this person is not Han Su. What did you say? Qiao Mu, how badly do you want to interfere with us? How can you say such a thing! Yao Shu turned around and left angrily. Qiao Mu frowned. She could tell that Han Sus voice was not the same person! In the afternoon, Qiao Mu took out her new phone and went online. It was only then that she realized that Lin Changhua had been fired from his job after the investigation results were out. Immediately after, news of Lin Xians death spread like wildfire on the Inte. The court was epting the case, so Lin Xian would not be given a light sentence. Seeing this message, Qiao Mu felt a littleforted. She opened WeChat and sent Li Yan a message.Uncle, thank you. Actually, she was still very reasonable. She would never be stingy with what she should be grateful for. She didnt know what Yu Tingyun and her mother would think when they saw the news. They would definitely think that she had been bullied by Lin Xian that night, just like Yao Shu. They would never have thought that she was saved by Li Yan. Qiao Mus expression turned colder at the thought of that mother and daughter.. She would not let this matter go just like that! Chapter 104 - 104: Mistaken the Person You Love Chapter 104: Mistaken the Person You Love Trantor: 549690339 In the afternoon, after Qiao Mus ss ended, Li Yan came to pick her up punctually. After getting into the car, Qiao Mu was a little absent-minded. She lowered her head, her mind wandering off somewhere. Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu indifferently. Little thing, youre suddenly thanking me for nothing this morning. What do you want to thank me for? Qiao Mu raised her head and met the mans gaze. She grinned. Of course Im thanking Uncle for helping me deal with the person who bullied me. And then? What? Shouldnt you express your gratitude? Of course! But its not convenient for me now! Qiao Mu muttered softly. Then, the man chuckled. What are you thinking? Did I say that I wanted you to express your feelings in that aspect? He was usually a simple person, but his mind was always in a mess. Really Youre such a hypocrite! Qiao Mu was speechless. Youre the one pretending to be serious! Your whole family is a hypocrite! It was clearly his tone that was ambiguous and implied something. Other than this, what else could she show?! Qiao Mu pouted and turned her face to the side. She didnt continue the conversation. All she knew was to tease her! The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. He thought of something and asked, Have you settled your personal grudge with your ssmate? Qiao Mu knew that he was referring to Yao Shu lying to her. Qiao Mu turned to look at Li Yan. Uncle, do you think its possible for a woman to get the wrong person in love? Its possible. Li Yans tone was indifferent, and Qiao Mus eyes lit up. Immediately after, the mans voice sounded again.This woman is sick. . Qiao Mus lips twitched. Alright, what he said did make sense. No matter how she thought about it, she couldnt figure out why Yao Shu would think that Han Su was her boyfriend! The mans sharp gaze swept toward Qiao Mu, and he raised his eyebrows. Why? Did you get the wrong person in love? Qiao Mu was stunned and shook her head vigorously. Uncle, Im not sick! Only then did the man retract his gaze in satisfaction. He did not forget to reach out and rub her little head, rewarding her with a word,Be good. Sometimes, this man was like coaxing a child. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Did he still think that she was as easy to coax as a five-year-old girl? It was night. The hotel room was pitch ck. The curtains blocked everything outside the window. In the dark room, there was nothing but the sound of passionate exercise. After a while, a womans voice rang out,Honey, can we turn on the lights? Every time were together, its always dark. I want to see you. Baby, dont be a wet nket now. Dont you think our game is very exciting? the man said. Why are you being so mysterious? From the first time we were together, we spent our time in the dark. Can you turn on the lights? Be good, dont mess around. I told you that before we go public with our rtionship, well be together in this way. Arent you also very excited? Im about to graduate soon. When the timees, well definitely be fair and square! But Yao Shu still wanted to say something, but the man started to work harder, making her not have the mood to think about it. Qiao Mu said that the person on the phone wasnt Han Su, but Yao Shu naturally didnt believe her. How could the man she was with every night not be Han Su?! They had been together for so long, but Yao Shu had never doubted this mans identity. When she sent Han Su a message, she was invited to the hotel room. The room was dark, and when she entered, someone pounced on her. In the dark, she confessed to him and was quickly epted by him. What made her happy was that he said that he had noticed her a long time ago. Chapter 105 - 105: Thoughts of Leaving Chapter 105: Thoughts of Leaving Trantor: 549690339 Then, that night, they naturally had sex. He said that his family did not allow him to date in school, so he hid his rtionship as a stranger during the day and went back to being a couple at night. However, in this rtionship, other than calling and texting him on the phone, she could only spend the night in this dark hotel room. Every time he woke up in the morning, the person beside him would disappear. He was very busy. Sometimes, he would just rush over and leave after he was done. She had a crush on Han Su for a long time and finally got him. She was especially afraid of losing him, so she could only ept everything about him. However, Qiao Mu took advantage of this hidden rtionship, which made her very angry. Yao Shu felt extremely pleased when she thought about how Qiao Mu had already been defiled by that Lin Xian. That dirty woman could forget about snatching her man! For the next few days, Qiao Mu was obediently picked up by a car and sent to school. Li Yan seemed to be very busy, leaving early and returningte. Most of the time, Lei Yi was the one who picked her up. In fact, although they lived under the same roof, they did not have many chances to meet each other. Qiao Mu could not understand why Li Yan wanted her to stay in the Li family. It was a rare moment of peace, and Qiao Mus period had passed. Qiao Mu had nothing to do in the afternoon. When she returned to the dormitory, she saw Chi Xia listlessly shopping online. Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mu and rolled her eyes. Youre finally willing toe back. Do you know that Ive been alone in the dormitory these past few days? Ive been so lonely! Qiao Mu smiled and replied, Isnt this what you wanted? You can call your husband overseas without being disturbed. Usually, Chi Xia would be smiling smugly at this moment, as if she was in love. However, at this moment, she was supporting her chin and looking listless. Mu Mu, do you know how many exchange students our school has? There was France Korea Taiwan, and Hong Kong, but there was no United States! If theres an United States, Ill definitely fight for it. Then I can be in the same country as Gu Cheng! Chi Xias eagerness to pursue her husband across the ocean made Qiao Mu feel helpless. Suddenly, a thought shed through Qiao Mus mind, and she asked, What are the requirements for applying for an exchange student? I dont know! I didnt ask if there was any United States. After Chi Xia finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Mu. Hey, dont tell me youre thinking of something? Qiao Mu nodded. This is a good opportunity. It would be even better if we could go and note back! Qiao Mu didnt have many aspirations. She only wanted to leave the Qiao family after graduation. Being an exchange student was a very good opportunity. After leaving this ce, she could live her own life freely. Chi Xia frowned. Mu Mu, dont be like this. Gu Cheng has already left me. If you leave too, Ill really be alone in the future! Its not even a sign yet. I dont think I can apply for it. You can ask Han Su about the conditions to apply for an exchange student. Hes from the Student Union and is in charge of these things. He might even have a back door. Even if she was reluctant, Chi Xia still respected Qiao Mus opinion. Qiao Mus eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. Qiao Mu called Han Su and told him her thoughts. Han Su smiled and said, Youve found the right person. I can help you with this, but I cant give you a definite answer. As for the specifics, we can only confirm it when youe back during the summer vacation. You can take advantage of the summer vacation to find apany to intern your major. It will be of great help when you go there. Qiao Mu hurriedly expressed her gratitude. If she could really leave, that would be great! Chapter 106 - 106: Those Who Bully Her Will Get Retribution Sooner or Later Chapter 106: Those Who Bully Her Will Get Retribution Sooner or Later Trantor: 549690339 With this thought in mind, Qiao Mu felt that she waspletely motivated. It happened to be Friday, so she went straight back to the Qiao familys house. Before Li Yan came to pick her up, she took the bus. Li Yan was in his office dealing with work when Lei Yi knocked on the door and entered. Young Master, the person who followed Miss Qiao just reported that Miss Qiao took the bus home. Li Yans hands paused and he raised his eyebrows. Go home? Back to the Qiao family. Lei Yi exined clearly. Li Yan pursed his lips. This little thing made her wait for him to pick her up every day. How dare she disobey him! Lei Yi looked at Li Yan and said, Young Master, the matter with Lin Changhua has been settled. Miss Qiao has someone following her. She wont be in danger. Thest time he was rear-ended by a truck, it wasnt done by business people. If it was really those people, they wouldnt have done it so easily. After an investigation, they found out that Lin Changhua had sent someone to do it. Now that Lin Changhua hadpletely fallen, he no longer had the ability to do anything. However, the young masters expression seemed to still have some concerns. Lei Yi could not help but sigh. The Young Master who had always been indifferent to everything was really too concerned about someone. Li Yan looked at the time expressionlessly, turned off hisputer, and walked out with his coat. Lei Yi was stunned. It was only five oclock, and Young Master had already gotten off work? When Qiao Mu returned to the Qiao family, Qiao Ya was the only one at home. Qiao Ya looked at Qiao Mu in annoyance. Why did youe back? Come back andin! Qiao Mu sat down on the sofa and spokezily. Qiao Yas expression changed, and she snorted. Qiao Mu, dont scare me. Do you think Im scared? Lin Xian is already in jail, and you only want toin? Arent you afraid that Dad will find out about your embarrassing incident and chase you out of the house? Yes, Im very curious. Who will Dad kick out of the house when he finds out? Qiao Mu picked up the apple on the coffee table and took a bite. Now that Lin Xian is in prison, Ive already taken my revenge. Sister, do you think Im especially lucky? I dont need to do anything, and someone will help me deal with that scum. The heavens are still biased towards me. Those who bullied me will get their retribution sooner orter! You! Qiao Ya was so angry that she gritted her teeth and sneered. You believe in karma? I dont know how many times I have to suffer retribution after so many years. Let me thinkl locked you up in the house and starved you for a day. I made you fall off the swing. Oh right, there was also a more serious incident. I pushed you into the cold pool in the middle of winter, causing you to be sick for more than a week and almost burn to death. Qiao Ya smiled smugly. Qiao Mu, tell me, wheres the retribution? Qiao Mus expression instantly darkened. He clenched his fists tightly to suppress the anger and sadness in his heart. In Qiao Yas eyes, her painful memories were like a joke. Even when she mentioned them, she looked happy. Qiao Mu threw the apple in her hand at Qiao Ya, and with a scream, the apple fell beside Qiao Yas feet. Qiao Mu smiled apologetically. Sister, my hand slipped All this while, Qiao Mu had never resisted. She would silently endure it when she was hit and never bicker with Qiao Ya. Qiao Ya turned pale with fright when she suddenly resisted, and she angrily roared, Qiao Mu, youve grown bold. Hurry up and apologize to me! Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered with her and went straight upstairs. After lying in the room for a while, Qiao Mu vaguely heard Qiao Jiannan and Yu Tingyun return downstairs, so she prepared to go downstairs. When she walked out of the room, she saw Li Yan in the corridor! Chapter 107 - 107: Uncle, Let’s Talk It Out Chapter 107: Uncle, Lets Talk It Out Trantor: 549690339 When Qiao Mu turned on her phone in her room, she saw a missed call from Li Yan. Perhaps she did not hear it when she was on the bus. She wanted to call Li Yan back, but she heard some noise downstairs. She put away her phone and went out, thinking that she would call Li Yan back after she was done with her business. The purpose of her return today was to discuss with her father about her internship at the Qiao Corporation during the summer vacation and prepare for her application for an exchange student next semester. However, Qiao Mu never expected that the moment she stepped out of the room, Li Yan, a living person, would stand right in front of her. She was so shocked that her mouth unconsciously gaped open, and she was stunned on the spot for a few seconds before she could react. The mans sharp gazended on Qiao Mu. His expression was indifferent, but the danger in his eyes was familiar to Qiao Mu. He opened his mouth and asked nkly after a while, Uncle, why are you Here? You can be here, but I cant? A light sentence came out of the mans mouth. . This was her home. It was normal for her to be here. Li Yan strode forward as if nothing had happened and inched closer to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu subconsciously retreated. From her angle, she could see the servants walking around downstairs, but she could not see them from downstairs. However, this was the Qiao family. What was he doing so brazenly? Qiao Mu couldnt help but be nervous and gulped. Uncle, donte any closer. Lets talk things out! Why didnt you answer my call? Didnt I say that I cant be uncontactable? Li Yan forced Qiao Mu against the wall and pressed one hand against the wall behind her, his dark eyes staring at her. Um, I put my phone in my bag. I didnt hear it. It was true that she didnt hear it, but she did see the missed call. However, of course, she couldnt admit that she didnt reply immediately when she saw the missed call. Oh? Is that so? Li Yans tone waszy as he nced at Qiao Mus pocket. Qiao Mu looked down and saw the phone sticking out of her pocket. She wanted to bite her tongue off. She smiled awkwardly and said, Uncle, um, my phone was in my pocket. I forgot when you called me. I really didnt mean to not pick up your call. Little thing, you did manage to keep your phone with you, but you ignored my call. Do you think I should reward you? At this moment, the man had already leaned over. His face was pressed against her, and he was less than five centimeters away from her. Qiao Mu held her breath. Normally, she would just have to deal with him. However, this was the Qiao familys house, and he woulde at any time. This tense atmosphere made her not have the mood to deal with this man. Qiao Mu grabbed the corner of his shirt and stared at him pitifully. Uncle, lets talk things out. Can we not talk about it here? Why are you so nervous? This is your house. What can I do to you? It was because this was her house that she was afraid, alright? Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching the corner. Qiao Mus eyes widened, and she did not have time to think. She pushed Li Yan away, turned around, and fled to her room. She wanted to lock Li Yan outside the door, but this man followed closely behind and stood at the door of the room, making it impossible for her to close the door! At this moment, Qiao Yas voice sounded from the corner. Uncle, are you there? She did not have time to push him away, so she could only drag the man into her bedroom and quickly put him behind the door. Whoosh! That was close! Chapter 108 - 108: Who Said You Can’t Be Mine? Chapter 108: Who Said You Cant Be Mine? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu leaned against the door and was about to heave a sigh of relief to ease her nervousness when she raised her head and saw Li Yan staring at her with a deep gaze. The atmosphere instantly became tense again. Li Yans lips curled up, and his ck eyes were glowing. Little thing, why did you take the initiative to drag me into your room? Are you that impatient? Qiao Mu was speechless. Which eye of his saw that she was impatient? She was clearly forced to do so, alright? There were still footsteps outside the door. Qiao Mu secretly red at Li Yan and mouthed silently, What are you doing here? What are you doing? Of course, youre the one whos disobedient, so Im here to teach you a lesson! His deep voice was very maic and pleasant to hear, but it carried a hint of danger. You secretly ran home andpletely forgot what I said? Qiao Mu pursed her lips indignantly. Did she need to sneak home? She wasnt his pet. She had her own freedom! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Why? Are you not convinced? Li Yans eyes darkened when he saw her pouting. This little thing was too seductive! She had no idea how seductive she was. Just one expression was enough to ignite his hidden fire, and he wanted to swallow her whole! As danger approached, Qiao Mu immediately smiled and shook her head. How would I dare, Uncle? Im very convinced! Of course, she was not convinced. If he lent her some courage, she would definitely let him see what it meant to be unreasonable! Li Yans coquettish eyes narrowed, causing Qiao Mu to instantly be nervous. There were still light footsteps outside the door. Qiao Mu was being pincered from both sides! At this moment, the man reached out and ced his hand on the door handle behind her. Qiao Mu was startled. He, he, heWhat was he trying to do! pfft! The man chuckled and teased, Why are you looking so scared? Im just teasing you! Qiao Mu was furious and red at Li Yan fiercely. Suddenly, a force wrapped around her waist and pulled her forward, pressing her body against a firm chest. Then, arge hand pressed against the back of her head, and the mans lips pressed against hers. Qiao Mus little heart thumped wildly when she saw this action. The kiss continued intensely. The unique scent of a man enveloped her from all directions. Qiao Mu only felt her body go limp, and her ears burned terribly. Qiao Yas voice came from outside the door. Uncle? Arent you here? Strange Didnt you say you were going to the bathroom? Where did she go? Qiao Mu suddenly sobered up. She nervously clenched her small fists and pounded them on his chest, but the man remained unmoved. A hoarse voice sounded in his ear, ls your period over? Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, she felt a chill. Her pants had been unbuttoned This bastard! Could it be that he really wanted to stay here Then, her body was lifted up and ced on the big bed. Qiao Mu lowered her voice, her tone trembling in panic as she warned in embarrassment, Li Yan, dont do anything rash! Hmm? I want my woman. This isnt considered fooling around! Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Qiao Mus body instantly stiffened as she red at Li Yan in horror. However, the man acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He looked calm and continued to do his own thing. Hey, well be discovered! Qiao Mu was so anxious that she almost vomited blood. Li Yans lips curled into a smile. Just admit it if you find out. Do you really think Im your uncle? Were not rted by blood. Who says you cant be mine? [Oh, rmendation tickets. The girls have always been awesome.. Muah Chapter 109 - 109: Can’t Escape From My Palm! Chapter 109: Cant Escape From My Palm! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was speechless. That was not the case at all, alright? If he was really found out that he was not a member of the Qiao family, who could control him? Even if Yu Tingyun was his cousin, with this mans status, it was impossible for him to interfere in his private life. But what about her! In this family, Yu Tingyun was her stepmother, but her stepmothers rtives were also her rtives! Her father was such a conservative person. If Yu Tingyun were to fan the mes, she would be in a terrible situation! Qiao Mu was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. She looked at Li Yan with pleading eyes. Uncle, let me off this once. I promise Ill definitely listen to you in the future! Li Yans lips curled up, and his expression was extremely evil. If I dont let you off, are you going to not listen to me in the future? This scoundrel! It was simply infuriating! The knocking stopped for a moment before it rang again. This time, it was very hard. Qiao Mu, what are you doing inside? I didnt hear you when I knocked. Are you deaf? Wretched girl, open the door quickly. Uncle is here. Are you hiding in the room? Youre really unpresentable and useless. Anyway, Uncle isnt here to see you. Youd better note out! Qiao Ya suppressed her anger and shouted outside the door. Qiao Jiannan was at home, so Qiao Ya did not dare to be so brazen. Qiao Mus heart was in her throat, and she was extremely nervous. Just when Qiao Mu thought that Qiao Ya had given up Imocking, Qiao Yas angry voice suddenly sounded again. You dare to ignore me? You wretched girl, are you trying to piss me off?! Qiao Mus nerves were tensed to the extreme. In this extremely tense situation, a certain man still stayed out of it, seemingly very dissatisfied with herck of concentration. He kissed her fiercely and captured all her attention. Bang! A loud noise came from the door. Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock. At the same time, the mans body sank and buried himself in her. NO! Qiao Mu widened her eyes and waspletely defenseless. Her low cries were already in her throat, but they werepletely blocked by his kiss. A thinyer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He did not know whether it was from nervousness or pain. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared at Li Yan angrily. She opened her mouth and bit the hand that was touching her face. It could not offset her fluctuating emotions at all. Perhaps it was because his anger had been vented, but the pain in his body slowly disappeared. Finally, her thoughts were taken away by the man bit by bit. She was like a small boat in the sea,pletely under his control. This was their third time! It was really a mistake that would cause eternal regret! In the midst of extreme danger and nervousness, Qiao Mu felt mentally and physically exhausted. After that, she saw the mans refreshed look and gritted her teeth as she cursed, Li Yan, you bastard! Little thing, you dont mean what you say. You clearly like it very much.. Shut up! Qiao Mus face flushed red as she red at him with her eyes wide open in embarrassment. Like your sister! Could he not be so shameless? Li Yansrge hand caressed Qiao Mus wet back. It was as if he had a magical power, and it was like an electric current that made Qiao Mu shudder. You What else do you want? Qiao Mus face was filled with nervousness and wariness. Why are you so nervous? Do you think Ill eat you up? He had already eaten her, alright? How thick-skinned must he be to say such words as if nothing had happened! Immediately after, Da Shuang pinched her cheeks. The mans tone was calm and his voice was low and hoarse. Little thing, dont think that youre safe just because youre back at the Qiao familys house.. The person I want, even if she runs to the ends of the earth, she cant escape from my grasp! Chapter 110 - 110: Didn’t See Uncle Chapter 110: Didnt See Uncle Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus body stiffened. Why did this mans casual words make her feel terrified? When she thought of her next n, Qiao Mus face could not help but turn pale. She secretly gritted her teeth. She wanted to see if he could control her! Qiao Mu hurriedly tidied up and sneaked out of the room. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one around. He suddenly felt guilty. She clearly came out of her room, so why was she sneaking around like this? She tidied her clothes and went downstairs openly. Li Yan was still in her room. She did not know why he came to the Qiao familys house, but he spent so much time in her room the moment he arrived. It would be strange if no one could find him! Downstairs, Qiao Jiannan was sitting on the sofa. Qiao Mu walked over and said with a smile, Daddy, when did youe back? I was lying in my room just now and fell asleep. I didnt hear youe back. Qiao Jiannan smiled. You deliberately went downstairs at mealtime, didnt you? Youre quite lucky. Qiao Mu chuckled, and Qiao Ya red at her. Mu Mu, youre really in a deep sleep. You didnt even hear me when I knocked on the door to call you! Qiao Ya had a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with anger. Sis, Im sorry. Ive been too busy studying recently and have been staying upte. I fell asleep just now and didnt hear anything. Qiao Ya cursed in her heart, but Qiao Jiannan reminded Qiao Mu to take care of her body out of concern, which made Qiao Ya even more unhappy! Yu Tingyun, on the other hand, had been standing by the side with a smile on her face. She looked like a skilled hostess. Have you seen Uncle? Qiao Ya suddenly asked. Uncle went upstairs. I dont know where he went! Qiao Mu feigned surprise. Ah? Is Uncle here? I didnt see him! Im here. A light voice sounded in the corridor. The man walked down the stairs calmly. Qiao Ya stood up immediately. Uncle, where have you been? I looked for you for a long time and thought you were lost! Lost? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Do you think your house is so big that Ill get lost? Although the Qiao family and the Li family were neighbors, the Li familys vi was much bigger than the Qiao familys. Qiao Ya choked until her face turned red. Qiao Mu lowered her head and secretly rejoiced. One word, awesome! Qiao Mu truly felt that Li Yans verbal skills were too cool when used against others! Of course, every time he made her angry, he would feel like pping her! Qiao Ya smiled awkwardly and changed the topic. Then what has Uncle been doing for so long? I smoked a cigarette on the balcony. He smoked this cigarette for almost an hour? Only this man could say such unconvincing words calmly. Qiao Ya was very puzzled. She had clearly checked the second floor, but there was no one on the balcony! Qiao Ya wanted to ask more questions but was interrupted by Qiao Jiannan. Young Master Li, lets go to the dining room to eat. Nani? Li Yan wanted to stay at the Qiao familys residence for dinner? Qiao Mus expression stiffened. Why didnt he go back to his own house? Why did he have toe over for dinner when she was home?! Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu indifferently and took in all the expressions on her face. He nodded at Qiao Jiannan and said in a very friendly tone, Brother-inw, Im your cousin by the rules. You called me whatever you called me when I was young. Its the same now. Qiao Jiannanughed out loud. Alright, Ah Yan, our family will not stand on ceremony! When Yu Tingyun heard this, the smile on her face deepened. However, seeing Qiao Jiannan lower himself to Li Yan, a junior, made her feel very unfair.. Chapter 111 - 111: Bite by a Wild Cat Chapter 111: Bite by a Wild Cat Trantor: 549690339 During dinner, Li Yan and Qiao Jiannan were chatting about work. Yu Tingyun was at the side, echoing their conversation. Qiao Ya was eating happily. Everyone in the room was in a good mood, except for Qiao Mu. Li Yans existence had be the focus of the Qiao family. All the topics revolved around Li Yan, and Qiao Mu could not get a word in at all. Qiao Mu silently lowered her head and ate her meal. She already had indigestion when she went home to eat, but with Li Yan in the mix, it was even more torturous! Uncle, the back of your hand is red. Whats wrong? Qiao Ya asked suddenly. Qiao Mu looked over when she heard that and saw a faint bite mark on the back of Li Yans hand. It seemed like she had bitten him earlier Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu indifferently and chuckled softly. Im fine. I was bitten by a stray cat. .. Qiao Mu blushed slightly and buried her head in her food. Uncle, being bitten by a cat is not a small matter, Qiao Ya said passionately. You must remember to get a shot! Li Yan nodded seriously. Indeed. It was rare for Li Yan to reply, and Qiao Ya felt ttered. However, she noticed that Li Yans gaze was sweeping toward Qiao Mu. Qiao Ya immediately pointed the spearhead at Qiao Mu. Mu Mu, why are you in such a hurry to eat? No one is snatching food from you. Uncle is here, so dont lower your head so low. Youre so rude! Qiao Mu grinned. Elder Sister, Daddy, Aunt Yun, and Little Uncle are talking about adult matters. I dont understand. I think its better for the two of us to keep our mouths shut while we eat. Otherwise, Little Uncle will find it annoying. Qiao Ya choked again. She was very angry, but she could not re up. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up slightly. His expression was calm as he said nonchntly, I heard that the Qiao family is also eyeing that piece ofnd in the north of the city? Qiao Jiannan was stunned. He smiled and said, Thats right. I was nning to develop a property. I didnt expect that I hadnt started on this yet. Mayor No, this happened to the former mayor. It seems that he hasnt been found yet. You havent started yet? Brother-inw, I heard that Miss Qiao has been busy with this matter and has been in contact with the son of the former mayor. Li Yans casual words made the faces of the people at the table change. What kind of person was Lin Xian? Ever since his crimes were exposed, arge number of celebrities who had indecent rtionships with him had been found out. Among them were many rich and powerful socialites. At this time, no one wanted to have anything to do with him. Qiao Jiannan didnt know that Qiao Ya was in private with Lin Xian, so when Li Yan said that, he looked at Qiao Ya with a dark face. Xiao Ya, is that true? Daddy, I Suddenly, the fire burned her body. Qiao Ya didnt know how to deal with it, so she subconsciously looked at Yu Tingyun for help. Yu Tingyun smiled calmly. Jiannan, how could Xiaoya have any dealings with people like Lin Xian? Where did Ah Yan hear about it? I heard from Chief Su, who was searching Lin Xians private house, that Miss Qiao was also there that night. Chief Su knew that she was my nephew and saw her slip away from the back door, so he didnt chase after her. Everyone who was present that night had taken drugs. If they were really taken away by the police, the Qiao familys reputation would be At this point, Li Yan paused. However, since Cousin said that theres no such thing, Chief Su must have misjudged the person. Qiao Jiannan and Yu Tingyuns expressions instantly turned ugly. Qiao Ya couldnt hold it in any longer and shouted in panic, I didnt! Dad, I Yu Tingyun red at Qiao Ya. Qiao Ya shut her mouth unwillingly.. Chapter 112 - 112: If He Wanted to Act, She Would Accompany Him to the End! Chapter 112: If He Wanted to Act, She Would Apany Him to the End! Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan was spouting nonsense! When she left that night, no police officers came. Even if they did, why wasnt Qiao Mu brought to the police station? Damn it, if she were to point out that Qiao Mu was present, she would not be able to get away with it either, so she could only bear with this usation. The atmosphere at the table sank. Qiao Jiannans face darkened. Although he did not say anything, his expression showed that hepletely believed Li Yans words. He did not re up because there were outsiders present. The atmosphere was in a deadlock. Qiao Mu stood by the side and silently watched the show. Wonderful! Li Yan was simply too awesome. He pushed Qiao Ya into the ditch so easily. Initially, Qiao Mu could only swallow this matter, but now, Li Yans two sentences had cleared her name, and her father found out about Qiao Yas evil deeds! A thought suddenly shed through his mind. Was Li Yan doing this to help her? Qiao Mu looked up at Li Yan. The mans eyes shifted slightly beforending on her. Li Yans eyes were indifferent. His tone sounded like a warning, but it also sounded like a warning. Second Miss Qiao, youre still young. You must remember that you absolutely cannot go to that kind of ce, understand? Qiao Mu was speechless. The man in front of her really looked like a serious elder, and Qiao Mu only felt three ck lines on her forehead! He ate her drylWipelWhy didnt she say that she was still young when she was clean? Since he wanted to act, she would apany him to the end! Qiao Mu nodded obediently. I know. Thank you for your concern, Uncle, but what are you talking about? That kind of ce? What kind of ce is that? Li Yan smiled. Its best if you dont know. You dont have to know. Qiao Mu had never realized that Li Yans acting skills were so good! Yu Tingyuns face darkened. She looked at Li Yan and then at Qiao Mu, feeling that something was amiss. Just as Li Yan said, if Chief Su recognized Qiao Ya, he would naturally recognize Qiao Mu as well. Qiao Mu was the main character that night, so where did she go then? Why didnt Li Yan mention Qiao Mu? Or perhaps, Chief Su mistook Qiao Mu for Qiao Ya, and Qiao Mu managed to escape and was not taken away by the police. This made sense. There was another possibility, and that was that Li Yan was helping Qiao Mu When Yu Tingyun thought of this, she immediately stopped thinking about it. It was impossible. How could a man as high and mighty as Li Yan treat Qiao Mu differently?! Even if Li Yan and Qiao Mu were indeed close ten years ago, Li Yan still left as he pleased. Clearly, he did not take Qiao Mu seriously! Yu Tingyun was so angry that she couldnt think of such an unrealistic idea! Moreover, Qiao Ya had seen with her own eyes that Li Yan had a girlfriend! The atmosphere was still stiff. The meal was about to end, and if Qiao Mu didnt talk about her matter, she would not have the chance. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Qiao Jiannan. Dad, I have something to discuss with you. Im going to have my summer vacation soon. I have nothing to do during the holidays, so I want to work in thepany for a month to umte experience. Is that okay? Before Qiao Jiannan could say anything, Yu Tingyun said, Yu Tingyun felt that her tone wasnt right, so she rxed. Mumu, youre still in school. Youre not suitable for the messy social life in the business world. Entering the business world too early isnt good for you. You should study hard when youre in school. Qiao Mu sneered in her heart. What a nice way to put it. Wasnt it because she was afraid that she would pose a threat to her mother and daughter after she entered the Qiao Corporation?! [Its a new day.. Please give me a good rmendation ticket Chapter 113 - 113: Intern at Li Group Chapter 113: Intern at Li Group Trantor: 549690339 Aunt Yun, but our mentor said that we must have work experience. Entering thepany for an internship is our holiday mission. Qiao Mu smiled at Qiao Jiannan and coquettishly negotiated, Daddy, just promise me! If it wasnt for the fact that she urgently needed internship experience to make ns for her goals, she wouldnt have wanted to enter thepany! Qiao Mu was waiting for Qiao Jiannan to nod his head when she heard the man beside her speak. His words carried a lot of weight as he spoke casually. If Second Miss Qiao wants an internship, you cane to mypany. The expression on Qiao Mus facepletely froze! Why did he have to interfere in everything? If she went to hispany for an internship, wouldnt she have to face him every day? Uh, just thinking about it made him feel that it was dangerous! Yu Tingyun smiled. Since Ah Yan has said so, Jiannan, its good to let Mumu go and gain some experience. As long as she didnt enter the Qiao Corporation, she would be fine anywhere! Qiao Jiannan nodded. Its settled then. Mumu, dont cause trouble for your uncle. Qiao Mu could only agree and thank Li Yan obediently, but she felt very ufortable. Yu Tingyun didnt want her to join the Qiao Group, so Li Yan helped his cousin to let her join the Li Group? The way Yu Tingyun looked at Li Yan confirmed Qiao Mus thoughts. Yu Tingyun smiled gratefully at Li Yan. She thought that Li Yan was doing this for her sake and was helping her because Qiao Mu was an outsider! Yu Tingyun felt relieved when she thought of this. She had always thought that Li Yans return this time would be detrimental to her Yu Corporation. She did not expect him to still treat her as his cousin! If Yu Tingyun knew that Li Yans true intention was to tie Qiao Mu to his side, would she be angered to death? Li Yan didnt care whether this was beneficial to Yu Tingyun or not. He was never a person who cared about others. After the meal, Li Yan finally left. The pressure in the Qiao family was very low. As soon as Li Yan left, Qiao Jiannan called Qiao Ya into the study, and Yu Tingyun followed suit. The soundproofing in the room was pretty good, but Qiao Mu could still hear the angry roars inside and Qiao Yas exnation. Qiao Mu happily took a box of yogurt from the fridge and drank it with a straw as she went upstairs. When she passed by the study, she slowed down and heard the conversation inside. Daddyl really didnt do anything shameful. I did it for thepany. I didnt know Lin Xian was that kind of person Jiannan, dont be angry at the child. She just wants to share your burden. She has good intentions. Its already happened. Its already a blessing that the child didnt suffer. Shes also very wronged. Dont lecture her anymore. Dad, Ill learn my lessonter and never make such a mistake again! Qiao Jiannan sighed. You! Ting Yun, this child is being protected by you, thats why he doesnt know how sinister the world is. If he doesnt know his limits, something will happen sooner orter! Shes learned her lesson this time. There wont be a next time. This child is very sensible. Alright, dont be angry. Qiao Mu returned to her room with an indescribable feeling in her heart. Ever since they were young, whenever Qiao Ya made a mistake, Yu Tingyun would always stand on her daughters side. No matter how angry Qiao Jiannan was, Yu Tingyun would always stop him. Yu Tingyun had never cared about Qiao Yas mistakes. Her daughter was always right. Just like this time, when she was pushed into the fire pit by Qiao Ya, Yu Tingyun didnt feel that Qiao Ya was in the wrong at all.. The mother and daughter pair were always so righteous in front of her! Chapter 114 - 114: Come Bite Me! Chapter 114: Come Bite Me! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu felt her heart ache. She threw the yogurt in her hand into the trash can, feeling a little disappointed for some reason. From the moment she stepped into the Qiao family, she did not dare to make a mistake. She knew that no one would stop her if she made a mistake. His phone suddenly rang. When Qiao Mu saw the iing call, she paused for two seconds before picking it up. The moment the call connected, she heard the mans deep and sexy voice. Niece, I helped you. Should you thank me? Qiao Mus tone waszy. Your niece is currently locked up in the study and getting scolded. Im sure she hates you to death right now! You heartless little thing! Li Yans voice was filled with reprimand, but his tone did not sound displeased at all. Why do you want to join the Qiao family? Li Yan asked after a pause. Qiao Mu was stunned, and a sentence that didnt go through her brain immediately jumped out. Why cant I go to my fatherspany? Uncle, are you questioning me on behalf of my stepmother? Youve already stopped me from entering the Qiao Corporation, why are you still asking this? Qiao Mu was in a bad mood, so her tone naturally turned sour. However, she felt a little regretful when she said it. Because there was no sound on the other end of the phone! Qiao Mu instantly tensed up, and only after a while did she hear the mans cold voice. Qiao Mu, are you a pig? Qiao Mu was speechless. Youre the pig! The mans tone was clearly not very pleasant. There was a coldness that she was familiar with. Qiao Mu pped her own forehead hard. Why did she provoke him for no reason?! Even if she was unhappy that he was helping Yu Tingyun, she couldnt show it! Uncle Qiao Mu was just about to salvage the situation when she was interrupted. Who is your uncle? I asked you to change the way I address you, and youpletely forgot? Li Yan lowered his voice. The mans tone was overbearing, unreasonable, and very domineering. Qiao Mu pouted indignantly. Uncle, I was too young and insensible in the past, so the way I addressed you was very impolite. Youre ten years older than me, so I really cant bring myself to address you like that now! The mans voice suddenly sank. It seemed to have a hint of a smile and was sinister. You mean, Im very old? Qiao Mu secretly nodded. Yes, yes, yes, thats right, thats what he meant! However, she said innocently, I didnt! Little thing, do you know that the curtains in your room are not closed? Qiao Mu abruptly nced outside the window and was instantly startled. She ran to the window and saw Li Yan standing on the balcony of his room. He knew everything in her room like the back of his hand! Of course, that included her arrogant nod just now Qiao Mu had the urge to give herself a p. Why did she need to be pped so badly? It wasnt easy for her to be arrogant for once, yet she was caught red-handed by him! Qiao Mu pretended to be angry, hoping to divert his attention. Li Yan, how dare you peep at me! Otherwise, how would I know that a certain someone is two-faced? Li Yans tone was cold. Even trom a great distance away, Qiao mu COU1d still reel tne chill that assaulted her face. I just realized that Im very old! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth. In for a penny, in for a pound. Sheughed very arrogantly. Thats right, youre very old. Youre old and yet you dont admit it. Youre just deceiving yourself, you know that? Whats wrong? Are you angry? Come and bite me! Qiao Mu made a face at Li Yan in the distance. Her appearance was extremely arrogant. Li Yan stood on the unlit balcony, his entire body shrouded in shadows. Qiao Mu could not see his expression, but she could feel that the mans coldness was irresistible.. Chapter 115 - 115: The luckiest thing in the past was meeting him Chapter 115: The luckiest thing in the past was meeting him Trantor: 549690339 This man finally choked on her words! He would also have this day! Qiao Mu was extremely pleased with herself. Although Li Yan was 28 years old and in his prime, he was indeed an old man in front of her, alright? Qiao Mus courage grew at the distance, and the cells that had been suppressed to the point of not fearing death in her bones instantly became active. She kept making funny faces at the window. Then, he arrogantly snorted at the phone. Is the old man angry? Come and bite me, bite me, you cant bite me anyway! Li Yan leaned against the railing of the balcony and squinted at the arrogant little thing opposite him. She stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes in a mischievous manner. There was no need to mention how arrogant she was. This was the first time the little thing had been so bold in front of him! The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. His handsome face was extremely evil and charming, but it also emitted a cold aura. Qiao Mu. His thin lips parted slightly, and his deep voice was light and nonchnt, but it contained a trace of coolness, waking Qiao Mu from her beautiful dream. Youd better pray that tomorrow doesnte. Qiao Mu was speechless. Her tone was as if she would die tomorrow! Qiao Mus smug smile instantly froze. She was so pleased with herself that she forgot that he couldnt do anything to her at the moment. She forgot that once she left the Qiao familys house, she would be at his mercy! How could she be so stupid! However, it was toote for regrets! Qiao Mu made up her mind and switched off her phone. She drew the curtains and cut off all contact with Li Yan. Tomorrows matter could be discussed tomorrow. Now, he would let her be arrogant with dignity until the end! Li Yan, who was on the balcony opposite them, looked at the closed curtains. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His flirtatious eyes were exceptionally dazzling in the night. This little things courage was getting bigger and bigger! Qiao Mu fell onto the bed, her heart thumping. She really needed to have a good mental fortitude to be arrogant in front of Li Yan! After her excitement, Qiao Mu gradually calmed down, but she could not fall asleep no matter what. She did not know if it was because she was frightened by Li Yan or because he mentioned her childhood memories. Li Yan asked her to change the way she addressed him, but what else could he be other than her uncle? The big brother of the past was no longer around. The big brother next door had been sealed in her memory after he chose to disappear without a word. In the past, Qiao Mu had always thought that the luckiest thing that happened to her when she came to the Qiao family was meeting Li Yan. Those three years were the best for her. No one had ever treated her so well. She naively thought that this was a blessing from the heavens after being cruel to her. But in the end, he realized that it was just a beautiful dream. From then on, Qiao Mu realized that no one could save anyone in this world. She could only rely on herself! Qiao Mu did not sleep well that night. It could be said that she did not sleep much at all. She had been praying that she would bete the next day. She fell asleep in a daze and suddenly woke up to look at the time. In the end, when the sky was slightly bright, he quickly got out of bed, packed up, left the Qiao familys house, and returned to school. She was really worried that meeting Li Yan early in the morning would threaten her life, so she could only hide in the school. When Qiao Mu returned to the dormitory, she was surprised to find that Chi Xia had been making overseas calls from under the covers early in the morning. These two jetgged people were really going all out in their rtionship. Why are you back so early? Chi Xia asked curiously. Qiao Mu fell headfirst onto her small bed, so sleepy that she could not even open her eyes. She mumbled, Continue, I want to catch up on sleep.. Chapter 116 - 116: You Must Help Me This Time Chapter 116: You Must Help Me This Time Trantor: 549690339 Early in the morning, Li Yan called Qiao Mu, but her phone was switched off. Was this little thing deliberately avoiding him? She dared to be so arrogantst night, and now she knew she was afraid of him after waking up? When he arrived at thepany, Lei Yi reported the days work as usual. After he finished, he paused and said, Young Master, you asked me to keep an eye on Miss Qiaos mother. Yesterday, there was some movement over there. Hmm? Li Yan stopped what he was doing and looked at Lei Yi. Zhou Jieru was cklisted at the underground casinost night and lost a lot of money. Lei Yi reported. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and tapped his long fingers on the table. Young Master, Lei Yi asked, that gambling den is within our territory. Do we need our men to step in? The fingers tapping on the table stopped and the man slowly said, No need. Qiao Mu returned to sleep and slept untilte in the morning, feeling refreshed. Chi Xia was no longer in the dormitory. Ojao Mu rubbed her stomach and went out to look for food. Just as she was about to leave, Yao Shu returned to the dormitory to get her things. The two of them met face to face. Qiao Mu didnt stop and was about to leave when Yao Shu spoke. Yao Shuts tone was a little calmer, but it was also a little boastful. Qiao Mu, please dont disturb Han Su and me in the future. Were doing very well now. Im already pregnant with his child. Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock. Youre pregnant? Yes, can you give up on Han Su now? Qiao Mu frowned. Youre still in school. Are you nning to keep the child? I havent told him yet. I think hell be as happy as I am. This is our child. Even if I have to suspend school, Ill still give birth to the child. Yao Shu ced her hand on her abdomen and smiled. Qiao Mu still felt that there was something wrong with Yao Shu and Han Sus rtionship, so she couldnt help but ask, Yao Shu, is your boyfriend really Han Su? Yao Shuts expression changed. What do you mean? Qiao Mu, why havent you epted the truth? Are you trying to break us up? Youre thinking too much. Han Su and I are just friends. Qiao Mu had nothing to say to Yao Shuts attitude. Qiao Mu walked out of the campus and kept thinking about Yao Shu. Having gotten pregnant before marriage, Yao Shu really believed that Han Su was her boyfriend. But why did she feel that something was wrong? Qiao Mus head hurt from thinking about it, and she shook her head. She had only taken a few steps when she saw a person standing not far away. Qiao Mus expression instantly turned cold. She turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Zhou Jieru immediately caught up with her and stopped her. Mu Mu, dont go. I have something to ask of you. Qiao Mus attitude was extremely cold, and her voice was extremely cold. I cant help you! Thest time was thest time I gave you money. I wont be cheated again! Mu Mu, its true this time. If you dont help me, Ill really die. I identally owed arge sum of moneyst night. If I dont pay it back in a day, theyll cut off one of my fingers. If I dont pay it back in three days, theyll.. Qiao Mu flung Zhou Jieru away, her eyes filled with rage. Enough! Ive heard these words too many times. No matter what you say, I wont give you a single cent! Qiao Mu! Do you still treat me as your mother? Im really desperate this time. Im not lying to you. I have an IOU in my hand. The stamp is real! Zhou Jieru hurriedly took out the IOU and stuffed it into Qiao Mus hands. Mumu, I beg you, help Mommy. You must help Mommy this time. Im really going to die! Qiao Mus eyes widened abruptly when she saw the IOU. Five million? [Its a new week. Id like to rmend you to vote Girls who are silently reading novels, do you dare toe out and make a scene? Ive read thements on the movie.. Why do I find that there are always those few figures every day? Girls who are hiding, hurry up ande out!] Chapter 117 - 117: Uncle Is The Most Handsome Prince Charming In My Heart Chapter 117: Uncle Is The Most Handsome Prince Charming In My Heart Trantor: 549690339 The IOU looked very formal. There were handprints and seals, so Qiao Mu could not tell if it was real or fake. It was true that Zhou Jieru had always been a gambler, but it was always a small gamble. The 300,000 yuanst time must have been added to the story to swindle more money. She didnt have the capital, so how could she not stop after losing millions? Qiao Mu threw the IOU to Zhou Jieru and said coldly, 1 dont even have 50,000 yuan. Dont think that you can swindle money from me with this IOU. Because of you, I owe tens of thousands of yuan outside and havent paid off yet. I wont pay for your gambling debt anymore! She did not even warm up the tens of thousands of yuan she had won from ying mahjong. Instead, she went straight to the bank and gave it to Chi Xia. She owed Chi Xia 130,000 yuan and only managed to pay off less than 50,000 yuan. When Zhou Jieru heard this, she became agitated and her voice became sharp. Qiao Mu, why are you so heartless? Do you want to see Mom die with your own eyes? They said that if I couldnt pay them back in three days, they would sell me overseas to make money for them until I paid them back! Do you know where Ill be sold to? He might as well die! Theyve already cut off one of my fingers. Mumu, believe me. You have to help me Zhou Jieru stretched out her hand. Qiao Mu noticed her bandaged finger, and her face instantly turned pale. Not far away, Yao Shu watched everything silently. She smiled coldly and took out her phone to call Qiao Ya. Sister, I saw Qiao Mu and a middle-aged woman pulling and tugging at each other. The other party seemed to be asking her for money After Zhou Jierus ruckus, Qiao Mu returned to the dormitory without eating. She really wanted to harden her heart and ignore it, but she couldnt convince herself. Even if Zhou Jieru didnt fulfill her responsibility as a mother, she couldnt watch her mother walk into a dead end! But Five million! To a student like her, this was an astronomical figure! Qiao Mu bit her lip. There was only one solution she could think of! She held the phone in her hand and stared at Li Yans name in the address book. Finally, she dialed it! If she was not really desperate, she would not have asked Li Yan for help. But now, who else could she ask for help other than him? Qiao Mu nervously listened to the toot sound on the phone. After a while, the call was connected and she heard the mans maic voice. Youre finally willing to turn on your phone and call me back? Qiao Mu nervously swallowed her saliva and lowered her voice. In a negotiating tone, she directly said, Uncle, can you do me a small favor? To him, this was nothing. Hmm? Li Yan, who was on the phone, raised his eyebrows slightly. Little thing, you didnt call to apologize to me. You want my help? Qiao Mu was speechless. How could she forget that she had provoked this manst night when she was so nervous? She seemed to be avoiding him! Qiao Mu coughed lightly and chuckled. Uncle, wasnt I joking with youst night? I thought I would sleep it off. When people are old, they usually dont joke around. Hehehe, youre not old at all! His uncle was young and handsome. Even if he was 38 years old, he would still be a male god in the eyes of women, let alone 28 years old! Those boys who havent grown up yet cantpare at all. Uncle is a real man. Even if Uncle is 80 years old, hes still the most handsome Prince Charming in my heart! Li Yan was speechless. The little thing was truly unparalleled when it came to bootlicking.. Chapter 118 - 118: It’s Time to Show Sincerity Chapter 118: Its Time to Show Sincerity Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans tone seemed to contain a smile. Oh? I didnt know that my image in your heart was so good. Yes, yes! But, who was the person who stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes at mest night? Uncle, were too far apart. Youre mistaken. Actually, I was pouting and blowing kisses at you. If one were to say that ones tone could express ones emotions, Qiao Mus current tone was like that of a shy young girl expressing her feelings. Her every word was spoken without a blush or a heartbeat. Li Yan chuckled softly, but there was no humor in hisughter. Qiao Mu instantly felt a sense of danger. Little thing, I didnt sleep well the whole night because of you. Do you think you can send me away with a few words? Qiao Mu was speechless. You have to pay a price for being arrogant. If I let you off so easily, you might call me old this time, but next time, youll mock your man for not being good at certain aspects. Qiao Mu held her breath in her throat and didnt choke to death. F * ck! She knew that she wouldnt be able to hear anything good from him. Could he not say such dirty words to an innocent girl like her? Qiao Mu endured it again and again. Uncle, she asked gently, then how can you let bygones be bygones and help me with a small favor? Asking for help over the phone is too insincere. Alright then! What he meant was that he wanted her to beg him! Qiao Mu was not confident that Li Yan would definitely help her. If he did not even give her 300,000 yuan, then there was no way he would give her 5 million yuan! No matter what, this was herst life-saving straw. She had to grab it! After weighing the pros and cons, Qiao Mu once again sneaked into the Li residence. Li Yan had yet to return, so Qiao Mu ran straight into the kitchen. When she was rummaging through the fridge for ingredients, the butler walked over and asked with concern, Second Miss Qiao, if youre hungry, Ill get the chef to cook. You dont have to cook personally. Qiao Mu raised her head and smiled at the butler. Im not cooking for myself. Uncle Chen, you dont have to worry about me. The butler instantly understood and didnt disturb Qiao Mu anymore. Qiao Mu rummaged through the fridge and saw beef. She decided to fry the steak. She had never cooked it before, so she wanted to practice first. She cut the beef into many pieces and marinated it ording to the instructions on the gourmet website. She opened the fire, added butter, and put the marinated beef into the pot to fry. The steps were very simple, but he couldnt control the fire well. Qiao Mu fried a few pieces to taste. Either the heat was not enough, or it was overcooked and not tender enough. To an ordinary person, as long as the taste was good, they could eat it however they wanted. However, Li Yan was so difficult to please, so of course, he had to be medium-well. Qiao Mu could not bear to throw away the test subjects that she had fried, so she stuffed them all into her stomach. Her stomach, which had starved for an entire day, was suddenly opened. Finally, after working for half an afternoon, Li Yan returned home. Ever since he ended the call with Qiao Mu, Li Yan had been thinking about how the little thing would show her sincerity. However, the little thing didnt move even after work. He only made things difficult for her a little, and she gave up? This was not the little things style. However, when he returned home, he saw a pair of womens shoes by the shoe cab. The butler took the coat from Li Yan and said respectfully, Young Master, Second Miss Qiao is here. Shes in the kitchen now. The kitchen? Li Yan narrowed his eyes and walked into the kitchen. He saw a busy little figure in the kitchen. The little fellow was wearing an apron, and her long hair was tied up with a hairpin. She ran around the kitchen very nimbly, as if she was busy with something. The butler stood behind Li Yan and said, Miss Qiao came in the afternoon. She has been busy in the kitchen until now to make dinner for Young Master. [All the kids are good. See you at o oclock..] Chapter 119 - 119: Wagging Its Tail to Please Its Master Chapter 119: Wagging Its Tail to Please Its Master Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans ck eyes stared at the figure in the kitchen. His expression was as cold as ever, and no emotions could be seen. Qiao Mu looked at the dinner she had prepared in high spirits. She carried the steak and spaghetti out of the kitchen and ced them on the dining table. Then, he set up the cutlery and poured a ss of red wine. Everything was ready, so he ordered it in satisfaction. She looked up and saw Li Yan returning. Uncle, youre back. We can eat now! Qiao Mus big eyes sparkled. She enthusiastically went over and grabbed Li Yans hand, bringing him to the dining room. This is dinner I prepared for Uncle. Hurry up and eat. The little fellow was extremely enthusiastic. His small face was smiling, and his big eyes were almost squinting into a line. He looked like a puppy wagging its tail to please its master. Looking at the food on the table, it seemed that this little thing had really put in a lot of effort to please him. Li Yan sat down quietly. When he saw that there was only one steak on the table, he looked up at her. Arent you going to eat? Qiao Mu sat down next to Li Yan and smiled a little embarrassedly. I did a lot of exercises in the afternoon, and Ive finished them all. Im already full. Li Yans ck eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at Qiao Mu for a while before he retracted his gaze nonchntly. Qiao Mu looked at the mans expression nervously. He didnt seem to be very happy that she was cooking for him. Alright, she admitted that this mans emotions were not something that ordinary people could understand. Therefore, she was not sure if she had made him feel her feelings by doing this. The man picked up his knife and fork and slowly cut the steak. Even a simple action was so elegant. Then, the man forked a piece of steak and put it into his mouth. He paused for a moment before he continued eating. Qiao Mu observed the mans expression. Actually, she wasnt sure if the steak was delicious or not. She had used all the steaks that she had marinated previously to test her hands. This piece was remarinated, so she had not tasted it yet. Li Yan swallowed the beef, then picked up his wine ss and downed the red wine in one gulp. Qiao Mu hurriedly refilled his cup and asked expectantly, How is it? Is it delicious? Li Yan continued to cut the steak and nced at the little one. Youre sending me away with just a piece of steak? Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan with deep affection. She crossed her arms and ced them on her chest. This is my token of appreciation! Li Yans lips curled up, and his charming eyes shed. After swallowing a piece of beef, he downed the red wine in one gulp. Then, he threw her four words,You have a glib tongue!. Qiao Mu chuckled and did not refute or defend herself. It seemed that this man was quite satisfied with her performance! Seeing that the atmosphere wasnt bad, Qiao Mu spoke at the right time, Uncle, dont be angry with me. I have a bad habit of not saying what I mean. I envy you for being tall, rich, and handsome. You have a good personality and a good temper. Thats why I offended youst night and said something I shouldnt have said. On the ount of my sincerity, please dont lower yourself to my level! F * ck! These words were as hypocritical as they could be! Good personality, good temper? How heartless must he be to say such words! Li Yan raised his eyes and nced at her. His tone was neither salty nor indifferent. Qiao Mu, youve really put in a lot of effort to please me. Qiao Mu nodded subconsciously, but she immediately felt that something was amiss.. Why did this mans tone sound like he was mocking her? Chapter 120 - 120: Can You Lend Me Some Money? Chapter 120: Can You Lend Me Some Money? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu couldnt care less and directly asked, Uncle, are you satisfied with my sincerity? Its passable. Even though it was only two words, Qiao Mu still saw hope. Just as she was about to strike while the iron was hot, she heard the man say, Get me a ss of water! Alright! Qiao Mu immediately poured a cup of water and handed it to Li Yan. At this moment, Li Yan had already finished the entire te of beef. He took the water from her hand and gulped it down. Qiao Mu noticed that the man ate a te of beef and drank a lot of red wine. Could it be that the red wine was very delicious? Qiao Mu could not help but feel curious. She picked up Li Yans wine ss and took a sip. He identally drank too much, and a spicy feeling burned in his mouth and stomach. This red wine was not delicious at all! Li Yan nced at her and raised his eyebrows. Why? Do you want to drink? Do you want to recall what you did when you were drunk? Qiao Mu was speechless. As expected, she could not rx for a moment in front of this. If she rxed a little, he would find an opportunity to insult her! Li Yan stood up and walked towards the sofa. Qiao Mu followed closely behind him and took two steps before looking at the butler. Uncle Chen, theres still arge piece of marinated beef in the kitchen. Let the chef cook it. Have dinner. Thank you, Second Miss Qiao, the butler smiled. Li Yan stopped in his tracks when he heard this, but he did not show any signs of surprise. Twenty minutester, the butler was preparing to eat in the side hall. The butler put the beef into his mouth and quickly spat it out with a frown. He quickly poured water into his mouth. This steakWas there something wrong with his sense of taste, or was there something wrong with the young masters sense of taste? Why did the young master eat an entire te of salty steak? No wonder the young master drank and drank at dinner On the other side, Qiao Mu snuggled up to Li Yan and grinned obsequiously. Uncle, can you do me a small favor? Li Yan raised his eyebrows and waited for her to continue. Can you lend me some money? After a pause, Qiao Mu hurriedly emphasized, Im not asking for it from you this time. Im borrowing it, and Ill return it. How much? Qiao Mu swallowed nervously. Five million! The mans expression did not change. Clearly, this number did not affect him much. Of course, she knew that five million yuan was nothing to him, but the most important thing was whether he was willing to lend it to her! Li Yans gazended on Qiao Mu. How are you going to pay me back? Qiao Mu was stunned. Thats right, how was she going to return it? This wasnt a hundred thousand or eighty thousand. She would work hard to earn money and pay it off. However, five million was a sky-high price for her! She had only thought about how she could make him lend her money, but she had forgotten how she was going to return the money! Li Yan looked at her little face. The little thing had her head lowered, and her face instantly darkened. She was still in high spirits just a moment ago, but she was listless all of a sudden. Hisrge hand hooked her chin and made her raise her head to look at him. The low voice was filled with a questioning tone.Qiao Mu, what do you want this money for? Qiao Mu pursed her lips and did not say anything. She had no intention of lending it to him, so he asked her what the money was for! Li Yan narrowed his eyes and pinched her chin slightly. She still had no intention of telling him the truth. She still did not want to rely on him now. She had only borrowed money from him because she had no other choice! Youre hurting me! Qiao Mu frowned. Why? Didnt you want to borrow money? Are you going to give up so easily? [Girls, continue to pop up. Suying will love you very much The girls who voted silently should also be praised. Thank you for all your support! As for adding updates, it will take some time. The website doesnt allow it yet, so dont be impatient..] Chapter 121 - 121: Three Years Was Enough To Make Her Devoted Chapter 121: Three Years Was Enough To Make Her Devoted Trantor: 549690339 Ive been so attentive to cook for you personally, but youre not even moved. What else do you want me to do? Her tone was slightly aggrieved. Li Yan let go of her chin and stared at her with a deep gaze. His voice carried a hint of coldness. You know what I want. Qiao Mu was stunned and immediately replied, dont know! Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the mans voice rang out, I want you! He was high and mighty, as if he was staring at his prey. That attitude made Qiao Mu very ufortable. Her heart was ufortable, but she felt a burning pain in her stomach. She gritted her teeth and looked at him reluctantly. Uncle, Im yours! Li Yans deep eyes narrowed. Qiao Mu, remember this. If its not sincere, I dont care! Qiao Mus eyes darkened, and she clenched her fists tightly. He still had the cheek to be sincere! He spoke as if he was sincere! Li Yan lowered his gaze to look into Qiao Mus eyes, as if he wanted to see something in her eyes. However, thoserge eyes were dull and dull, and all the light had disappeared. After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind. She slowly loosened her grip and looked up at him. Uncle, you lent me money. Ill return it myself! Qiao Mu couldnt be so heartless as to not dare to ignore Zhou Jieru. Anyway, whether she wanted money or not, she couldnt escape from his hands, so she might as well benefit from it! This suggestion made Li Yans eyes turn cold. His expression was as cold as the winters twelfth lunar month, and ayer of frost covered the depths of his eyes. Qiao Mu stared at him nervously. He didnt say anything, so she didnt know if he had tacitly agreed! How about a million dors each time? she asked after some thought. The man suddenly sneered. His cold eyes did not hide his sarcasm. Do you think youre that valuable? 500,000 yuan each time? 100,000! Qiao Mu only said 100,000 through gritted teeth. Even if it was 100,000 once, she would have to do it 50 times! The man still did not respond. He leaned back on the sofa with a smile on his lips. He sized her up like he was watching a joke. Qiao Mu steeled her heart and went all out. Three years! Until the three years after I graduate, I will be with you obediently. Is that okay? Good! The silent man finally spoke. Three years was enough! Three years was enough for her to be with her wholeheartedly! They had been together for three years, and he had not made her fall for him. This time, he would not give her the chance to have any evil thoughts! This man agreed so readily, so why did Qiao Mu feel like she was digging a hole for herself? Three years was neither too long nor too short. It was worth it for each of them to take what they needed! Suddenly, the ck shadow in front of her pressed down on her. Qiao Mu raised her head abruptly, and she was already lifted up by arge hand. You Why? What do you think? A few secondster, Qiao Mu was thrown onto the big bed. The man pressed himself against her without giving her a chance to react. Li Yan should be happy that this little thing was finally willing to be with him obediently. However, a nameless anger was burning wildly in his heart. Qiao Mu felt dizzy, and she kissed him fiercely. The tall figure enveloped her and she felt very ufortable. The pain in his stomach gradually intensified and spread bit by bit. It hurt, it really hurt! Chapter 122 - 122: A Thoughtfulness That Was Hard to Perceive Chapter 122: A Thoughtfulness That Was Hard to Perceive Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu wanted to push the man away, but she could not muster the strength. Li Yan, let go of me. I feel ufortable. Ufortable? Hearing this, Li Yan became even angrier. He touched her and made her feel ufortable? Li Yan raised his head and red at her furiously. However, when he saw her pale face, he immediately stopped what he was doing. She frowned and her face was pale as if she was in pain. Li Yan pulled Qiao Mu up and hugged her. Qiao Mu, whats wrong? Where do you feel ufortable? My stomach hurtsUncle, I feel terrible. Qiao Mu bit her lip and looked at him pitifully. Dont tonight, okay? Li Yans heart sank! Her pleading tone made his heart ache. What did she take him for? A diligent beast? She was not feeling well, but he did not care about her difort? Did she really think that being with him was just a transaction? Li Yan could not suppress the anger in his heart. However, when he saw the pain on her face, he could not do anything to her. He could only torture himself! Qiao Mu endured the pain and looked at the mans expression. Why did he look so awful? Could it be that she had ruined his mood and made him unhappy? Suddenly, the man let go of her and got off the bed. Then, she saw him holding his phone and making a call on the balcony. Qiao Mu curled up in difort. Soon, Li Yan returned to the room and sat down beside her. She felt a warmth in her stomach. Arge hand came up to her and gently rubbed her stomach. Qiao Mu was stunned. She raised her head and met Li Yans gaze. The man looked down at her. Although his expression was cold, there was a gentle light in the depths of his eyes. This strange yet familiar gaze stunned Qiao Mu for a moment. Then, she heard the mans cold voice. Hold on for a while. The doctor will be here soon. This sentence was not very considerate and gentle, yet it made Qiao Mus nose inexplicably sour. Tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and pressed her face against the pillow, letting out a muffled hmm. How long had it been since she had been cared for? This mans words made her lose control of her emotions. What a good-for-nothing! Therge hand on her stomach was still gently caressing her, making her feel much morefortable. This man had never been so considerate. The room was very quiet. Qiao Mu raised her head and couldnt help but reconfirm. Uncle, did you agree to lend me money? Shut up! Li Yan said coldly. His tone was extremely displeased. Even a stomachache couldnt stop her from thinking about these messy things! Qiao Mu pursed her lips and seized the opportunity to say, Ill take it that youve agreed. Youre not allowed to regret it! The man leaned over and approached her, his tone full of threat. Qiao Mu, do you want me to seal your mouth? Qiao Mu immediately shut her mouth tightly, not daring to speak again. Soon, the doctor arrived. The doctor first measured Qiao Mus temperature, then asked Qiao Mu what she had eaten and drunk in the past day, and Qiao Mu answered truthfully. He took out the thermometer and confirmed that he did not have a fever. The doctor said to Li Yan, Mr. Li, this youngdy has not eaten for a day. She suddenly ate a lot of steak and drank a little red wine, which stimted her stomach. In addition, she has a high fever, causing indigestion. Ill prescribe some stomach medicine and anti-inmmatory medicine. Then, Ill eat some porridge for the next day and youll be fine. Li Yans expression was a little angry as he listened. Because of the matter of money, it seemed that it was on fire! Li Yans eyes darkened.. Chapter 123 - 123: She Won’t Be Swindled This Time Chapter 123: She Wont Be Swindled This Time Trantor: 549690339 The doctor prescribed the medicine and left. Qiao Mu obediently took the medicine andy down to rest. Li Yan sat quietly at the side, hisrge hand gently caressing her stomach as if he wanted to ease her pain. Her heart was filled up in an instant. Perhaps when one was sick, ones willpower was weaker, and their nerves were easily affected. Why was it this man again? Qiao Mu remembered that Qiao Ya had once pushed her down, and she had scratched her knee. She had secretly hidden in a corner and was bruised, and Li Yan had seen it. Li Yan had a scary expression on his face. He carried her home and asked the doctor to apply the medicine for her. That was Qiao Mus first time seeing a doctor. When she caught a cold, her mother only gave her some medicine, but Li Yan called the doctor because of her small injury. At that time, Qiao Mu couldnt hold back her tears. It wasnt because of the pain, but because she felt that someone cared for her. This was a feeling that she had never experienced before. At that time, Qiao Mu was only seven years old, and she blindly relied on him. She felt that he was her prince. At the thought of this, Qiao Mus eyes turned sour, and tears uncontrobly flowed down her face. Qiao Mu sniffed and desperately held back. Why was he so casually nice to her again? However, she would not be fooled this time! When Li Yan saw her tears, he frowned slightly and lowered his voice subconsciously. Whats wrong? Does it still hurt? Yes. Qiao Mu bit her lip, not wanting to reveal her thoughts. Li Yan scooped up Qiao Mus body and held her in his arms. The medicine will take effect soon. It wont hurt much longer. Youll be fine after you sleep. Qiao Mu raised her head from his embrace and red at him with her big eyes. She immediately blurted out, Uncle, arent you too good to your bed partner? Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, You still know your duty. Youre useless now. If you continue to be sick, wont my five million go down the drain? So get well quickly! Qiao Mu snorted. How shameless! Qiao Mu felt extremelyfortable in his embrace. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep. Li Yan gently ced her on the bed and looked at the little one who was sleeping soundly. Every time he looked at her obedient appearance after she fell asleep, it would remind him of her from ten years ago. In fact, ever since they had parted ways that year, she had only been a silhouette in his heart. Ten years had long since faded away the feelings he had for her over the past three years. Back then, he had also thought about it. Forget about such a heartless little thing. However, she could not forget it. When they met again ten yearster, he realized that she was even more torturous than before. Li Yan realized that the feelings he had for this girl back then were not as deep as before. Now, he finally realized that he had only fallen in love with her back then. Now, his heart was truly moved. When Qiao Mu woke up the next day, her stomach no longer hurt. The doctor instructed her to only eat porridge, so Qiao Mu obediently ate a bowl of porridge. Then, she looked at the man opposite her as if she was expecting something. Li Yan browsed through the news that day, then put down his phone. He looked up and met Qiao Mus gaze. He saw through her thoughts at a nce and said indifferently, I will ask Lei Yi to transfer the money to you. Qiao Mu nodded vigorously when she heard that. After some thought, she said after some discussion, Uncle, I only have one request. Hmm? This little thing still dared to make requests? Thats right.. Can you not ask me about the use of this money? And dont investigate me, okay? Chapter 124 - 124: Don ‘t Want to Acknowledge the Money After Taking It? Chapter 124: Don t Want to Acknowledge the Money After Taking It? Trantor: 549690339 Alright. It was just one word, and Qiao Mu instantly heaved a sigh of relief. However, Qiao Mu did not know that Li Yan already knew everything about her. Qiao Mu waited the entire morning before the money finally arrived. She hurriedly went to the bank and transferred the money to Zhou Jieru. When Zhou Jieru received the money, she immediately called. Her tone was filled with excitement. Mu Mu, I knew you would think of a way. You took out such arge sum of money so quickly. You really saved my life. The luckiest thing in my life is to have you! Hearing these words, Qiao Mu felt her heart turn cold. She coldly said, This is thest time. There wont be a next time. If you owe another gambling debt, even if you lose an arm, its your own fault. I wont care about you anymore! Aiya, why is your mouth so poisonous? Mom really wants to thank you Zhou Jieru was in a good mood after receiving the money. She was about to say something to Qiao Mu in a good mood when the call was suddenly hung up. Zhou Jieru snorted coldly and cursed into the phone, This wretched girl, what are you so arrogant for? If it werent for me, would you have the glorious identity of a young miss today? You dont know how to be grateful! However, this girl was much more capable than she had imagined. She could get so much money. It seemed that the Qiao family treated this girl well. Her decision back then was really far-sighted! This time, Qiao Mus heart waspletely cold. She hung up the phone and directly cklisted Zhou Jierus number. She had already done enough. In order to pay off her gambling debts, she had even lost herself. There would definitely not be a next time! Qiao Mu left the bank and was about to return to the Li family home when she received a call from Yu Tingyun on the way. She said that she had something to ask her and wanted her to go home. Yu Tingyun never called her on her own ord. A sudden call was definitely not good news. Qiao Mu felt that something was amiss. In order to prevent Li Yan from getting angry at her when he returned home, she sent him a message. Uncle, Im going home. Ill go to your ceter. [Are you sure you dont want to deny it after taking the money?] Qiao Mu was speechless. I swear to God, Qiao Mu replied innocently. It was my stepmother who asked me to go home. Then, there was a short message: Go early ande back early. Why did Qiao Mu feel that Li Yans Chinese wasnt very good? She was going back to her own home. Why did he make it sound like she was going out to visit? When Qiao Mu returned to the Qiao familys residence, she felt that the atmosphere wasnt too good. Only Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya were in the living room. Qiao Jiannan was not there. Aunt Yun, why did you ask me toe back? Qiao Mu asked nonchntly. Yu Tingyun didnt say anything. Qiao Ya stood up abruptly and said angrily, Qiao Mu, youre really sinister. Youve been pretending to be in our house for so many years! What do you mean? Qiao Mu looked at Qiao Ya expressionlessly. Tell me, are you colluding with your cheap mother to cheat our familys assets? If I hadnt found out that youve been in contact with that b * tch, I dont know how long I would have been deceived by you! I didnt expect that our family would raise an ingrate. I knew that you, this b * tch, were not a good thing! Qiao Mu was originally a little flustered, but after hearing Qiao Yas scolding, her expression darkened. Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyun coldly. Aunt Yun, is this why you called me back? You guys just gave me such a ridiculous usation. I want to ask, what property did I cheat of? All these years, other than the living expenses that I should have, what other assets have I taken from the Qiao family? [A rmendation ticket Chapter 125 - 125: The Nature of a Stepmother Chapter 125: The Nature of a Stepmother Trantor: 549690339 Yu Tingyun stood up and red at Qiao Mu coldly. Since you know that the Qiao family is the one who raised you, youre still spending the Qiao familys money and siding with outsiders! Qiao Mu, arent you afraid that your father will be sad when he finds out? Qiao Mu said calmly, Aunt Yun, I dont understand you at all. Youll understand after reading this! Yu Tingyun handed the phone to Qiao Mu. On the screen was a photo of Qiao Mu and Zhou Jieru outside the school. Qiao Mus heart skipped a beat, and she immediately heard Yu Tingyuns voice. Qiao Mu, I dont care what youre thinking, but I wont let you covet everything that belongs to the Qiao family. Since youre in contact with this woman, your father wont side with you this time! Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly. She had done nothing, yet Yu Tingyun had already viewed her as a thorn in her side. When she was young, this woman was not so afraid of her. Now that she had grown up, Yu Tingyun could no longer sit still and insisted on chasing her out of the Qiao familys residence before she was satisfied! Qiao Mu was indeed nervous when faced with a woman like Yu Tingyun, who had deep thoughts. However, she could even handle that wolf Li Yan, so how could she pale in front of Yu Tingyun?! Qiao Mu smiled. Aunt Yun, what does this photo mean? In the photo, my expression was one of rejection. This action was obviouslv to shake her off. MV father did not allow me to interact with her, but she came to look for me. Was this my fault? Isnt it too hasty to convict me so casually? It seems that I have underestimated you. Yu Tingyun sneered, took out a bank card from her bag, and ced it on the coffee table. This photo isnt very convincing, but I remember that woman is a gambler. I caught you stealing my card because of her. I wonder if this is convincing? Qiao Ya agreed. Thats right, I saw it with my own eyes! Qiao Mus expression was extremely ugly. She didnt expect Yu Tingyun to do such a despicable thing. This mother-daughter pair was really shameless! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth. Aunt Yun, do you have to be so ruthless? You can only me yourself! Qiao Mu, if youre smart, you should stay far away from the Qiao Corporation. Dont even think about entering the Qiao Corporation to get your inheritance. With a mother like that, I definitely wont let you destroy our family! Qiao Mu found itughable. Was this person suffering from persecutory delusions? And he was seriously ill! She wanted to intern at the Qiao Corporation to prepare for the exchange program. Even if she exined, this woman would not believe her. Was this considered falling out with Yu Tingyun? Although their rtionship wasnt good in the past, they never had such a direct confrontation. Qiao Mus voice was cold. Dont even think about pinning the me on me for something I didnt do! Even if you tell my father, he wont believe you without evidence! After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the door. She was about to escape when her wrist was suddenly grabbed. Before she could turn around, a force pulled her from behind and she was thrown onto the sofa without any warning. Feeling dizzy, Qiao Mu frowned and red at Yu Tingyun. What are you doing?! I caught you stealing and you want to leave? If you leave, I wont be able to exin it to your father! Yu Tingyuns lips curled up coldly. Her virtuous look had long disappeared, revealing a rare sinister expression. Even Qiao Ya was stunned when she saw this.. Chapter 126 - 126: Yu Tingyun Losing Her Image Chapter 126: Yu Tingyun Losing Her Image Trantor: 549690339 Although Qiao Ya was surprised that Yu Tingyun would suddenly be so excited, she immediately became excited. Mom, should we call Dad and ask him toe home early? Yu Tingyun red at Qiao Ya. You go upstairs first! But I told you to go upstairs, did you hear me? Yu Tingyuns face was cold, and Qiao Ya didnt dare to say anything more. She red at Qiao Mu in frustration before turning around and going upstairs. Qiao Mu smiled sarcastically. Aunt Yun, are you worried that your daughter will change her mind about her mother after seeing your vicious look? Shut up! Yu Tingyuns face darkened and looked extremely ugly. Qiao Mu, why dont you stop while youre ahead?! I gave you a chance to leave the Qiao family, but you insisted on staying and even wanted to enter the Qiao family! Back then, that b * tch Zhou Jieru didnt get her way, but she stuffed you into the Qiao family to destroy my family. I want to see if you guys have the guts! Qiao Mu was stunned. As far as she knew, Zhou Jieru and Qiao Jiannan had only made a mistake once after they were drunk. Even if Zhou Jieru became pregnantter on, it was impossible for Zhou Jieru to affect the Qiao family from her standpoint. After all, she and Qiao Jiannan had no feelings for each other. Regardless of whether Yu Tingyun believed it or not, Qiao Mu still said, Actually, you dont have to be so impatient. I never wanted to destroy anything. Your worries are unnecessary! Let me tell you, your existence is the greatest destruction! Youre just like your mother. No, youre even more scheming than her. All these years, youre really good at pretending. Youve endured it all because you wanted to get the Qiao familys assets! As expected, I caught evidence of you being in contact with that b * tch! If you bring this matter to your father, youll be kicked out of the Qiao family! Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyun coldly. Since you cant ept me, you shouldnt have brought me to the Qiao family back then! Do you think I want to? It was all because of that b * tchs tricks! Do you know how Ive survived all these years? Every time I see you, it reminds me of that b * tch. This scar has been hurting for thirteen years! Yu Tingyuns tone was very agitated. When Zhou Jieru was mentioned, her emotions were almost crazy. Yu Tingyun looked at Qiao Mus face. Although this face did not look like Zhou Jierus, it was still countless times prettier than Zhou Jierus when she was younger. Her seductive and foxy appearance was extremely ring! Only God knew how she had lived all these years! All her emotions were suppressed under the surface, and she was about to explode! She would not give Qiao Mu any chance to enter the Qiao family when she saw here of age! Qiao Mu took a deep breath. If you want to make a fuss about these things, you should make a fuss with my father. Youre pretending to be virtuous in front of my father, yet youre acting crazy here. Dont you think its ridiculous? You If you want toin, I cant stop you. My father is back, so you can tell him whatever you want. Ill leave first! As soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, Yu Tingyun grabbed Qiao Mu and dragged her upstairs. Dont even think about stepping out of the house before Jiannanes back today! You better reflect on yourself in the room and wait for him toe back to punish you! Let me go! Let go of me! Oiao Mu frowned and struggled. but Yu Tingvun held onto her wrist tightly. Qiao Mu had already been dragged up the stairs. She had only eaten a bowl of porridge the entire morning, and her stomach was already weak. She did not have much strength left in her body, so she could not break free from Yu Tingyun. At this moment, a familiar cold voice sounded at the door, Whats going on? It hasnt even snowed outside, and youre already having a snowball fight in the house? Chapter 127 - 127: A Life-Saving Grass Appeared in Time Chapter 127: A Life-Saving Grass Appeared in Time Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu knew that escaping now was the best solution. If she was locked up and waited for her father toe back, Yu Tingyuns disguise would definitely make her an indelible criminal. It wasnt that she hadnt been grounded before. When she was young, Qiao Ya deliberately locked her in her room for an entire day and starved her for the entire day. Yu Tingyun had seen everything. It could be said that everything Qiao Ya did in the past was caused by Yu Tingyun. No matter how evil a ten-year-old child was, what could he do? Yu Tingyun was secretly hinting at Qiao Ya. When Qiao Ya did that, Yu Tingyun pretended to be angry and lectured Qiao Ya. With Qiao Yas temper, she would always me Qiao Mu for the scolding after she was lectured by Yu Tingyun. In the future, she would treat Qiao Mu even worse. Yu Tingyun was a hypocrite, and no one except Qiao Mu would understand her true nature! When Qiao Mu was dragged up the stairs and saw Qiao Yaing out of the room to help catch her, she felt a little hopeless. However, she suddenly heard Li Yans voice. Li Yans appearance was like a life-saving straw, giving the drowning Qiao Mu a glimmer of hope. Qiao Mu took the opportunity to shake off Yu Tingyuns hand and took a step back. Yu Tingyun looked at Li Yan, and the vicious expression on her face disappeared instantly. She tidied up her clothes as if nothing had happened. Ah Yan, Im dealing with family matters. Qiao Mu took advantage of Yu Tingyuns words to rush down the stairs. She looked at Li Yan with pleading eyes. Li Yan stood at the door and did not step into the house. His deep eyes swept past Qiao Mu indifferently, and with just one nce, he shifted his gaze away. The corners of the mans mouth curled up slightly. Since youre dealing with family matters, I wont disturb you. After saying that, Li Yan turned around to leave. Qiao Mus heart suddenly sank. This man had no intention of meddling in other peoples business! Qiao Mu saw Yu Tingyuns eyes sh with coldness the moment Li Yan turned around. There was a hint of smugness in her expression, as if reminding her that she was an outsider and Li Yan would not care about her! Qiao Mu suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe. She did not know if it was because of her current situation or because Li Yan had turned around and left so heartlessly. However, at this moment, the man who had already turned around stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head slightly and swept his gaze toward Qiao Mu again. His tone was light and indifferent as he said, Oh right, regarding Second Miss Qiaos internship at mypany, we need to make some preparations in advance. Second Miss Qiao happens to be here today, soe over with me. After a pause, the man looked at Yu Tingyun and said, Cousin, you can deal with family matters at any time. You dont need this time, do you? Qiao Mu felt that she had just fallen into a low point when she saw a glimmer of hope. Just as Li Yan finished speaking, Qiao Mu had already rushed to the door. She turned around and red at Yu Tingyun coldly, her tone unable to conceal her coldness. Aunt Yun, it seems that well have to discuss our matter another time! Yu Tingyuns expression changed slightly. She didnt know if Li Yan was doing this intentionally or not. It would be best if it was unintentional, but if it was intentional, then was he helping Qiao Mu? No! It was absolutely impossible! If Li Yan really wanted to help Qiao Mu, he could have simply taken her away. Yu Tingyun knew very well that with Li Yans status, he would not put her, his cousin, in his eyes if anything happened! Presumably, Li Yan really had something to discuss with Qiao Mu! Yu Tingyuns expression darkened when she thought of this.. She actually let Qiao Mu escape! Chapter 128 - 128: Do You Feel Bad For Me? Chapter 128: Do You Feel Bad For Me? Trantor: 549690339 After leaving the Qiao familys residence, Qiao Mu silently followed behind Li Yan. After falling out with Yu Tingyun, Qiao Mu still had lingering fears in her heart. Her situation would be even more difficult in the future. Qiao Mu lowered her head and stared at the mans heels. This was the first time he had helped Yu Tingyun! In the process just now, he did not show any obvious favoritism towards her, as if he had unintentionally helped her out of her predicament. Now that she thought about it, this man seemed to be thinking about her situation, and Qiao Mus heart was instantly filled with gratitude. This feeling was like going back to many years ago, when Qiao Ya bullied her, and he was always on her side. The two of them walked silently into the Li familys courtyard. Li Yan lowered his gaze to look at the girl behind him. From his angle, he could only see her long eyshes fluttering. She kept her head lowered and no one knew what she was thinking. She did not even notice that he was staring at her. When he recalled the scene he saw when he entered the room, his expression darkened. He had always thought that Yu Tingyun would not fall out with Qiao Mu no matter how much she refused to ept her, but he did not expect that woman to lose her cool. Li Yan stopped in his tracks, and Qiao Mu, who was behind him, bumped into his shoulder. She raised her head abruptly and met his gaze. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at her. Whats wrong? Arent you quite powerful when youre facing me? Why did you be so weak in front of your stepmother just now? No way. Qiao Mu pouted and blinked her big eyes at Li Yan. She could not help but ask, Uncle, why did youe to the Qiao family? Li Yan turned around and continued walking forward. He strode into the house and turned back to look at Qiao Mu, who was following closely behind him. I told you to go ande back as soon as possible. If I dont go over, it looks like you wont be able to return. Qiao Mu was stunned. So he went to look for her on purpose? How was that possible? He was not a prophet, so how could he know what happened when she returned to the Qiao family? Qiao Mu followed Li Yan into the house, and a servant brought tea over. Qiao Mu was quick with her eyes and hands, and she immediately served a cup of tea. She eagerly handed it to Li Yan. Uncle, thank you for helping me. Li Yan lifted his eyelids and saw that the little one had returned to her usual servile appearance. He did not take the teacup from her hand and sized her up. Are you hurt? Qiao Mu shook her head without a second thought, but the moment she shook her head, it immediately turned into a nod, and she let out an aggrieved En. Where are you hurt? Qiao Mu raised her hand and pointed at her stomach. Here. Li Yan narrowed his eyes, thinking that her stomach was hurting again. He ced the teacup in her hand on the coffee table and was about to say something when he heard the little thing say pitifully, My stomach hasnt had any oil for a day. Im starving. Li Yan was speechless. He suddenly had the urge to p this little fellow. Li Yan asked the butler to bring a bowl of porridge over, and Qiao Mu gently sat down beside him. Uncle, are you very worried about me? I was bullied by my stepmother. Do you feel sorry for me? Qiao Mu sensed that this man actually did not intend to stand on Yu Tingyuns side. During this period of time, she was certain that he was not that close to Yu Tingyun, and this was definitely advantageous to her! Li Yans gaze was fixed on the mischievous little thing in front of him. Her big eyes were shining, and it was obvious that she was scheming something. His thin lips curled up slightly, and the look in the depths of his eyes made people feel a chill down their spines. This little thing had just fallen out with her stepmother, and now she was plotting against him? [Continue to update during the day, rmended tickets Chapter 129 - 129: You Have the Duty to Protect Me Chapter 129: You Have the Duty to Protect Me Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu waited for a while, but Li Yan did not reply. He stared at her without admitting or denying, but his gaze made her hair stand on end. Qiao Mu grinned. Uncle, since youre not saying anything, Ill take it that youre tacitly agreeing! Li Yans eyes darkened as he raised his eyebrows slightly. So? Qiao Mus heart leaped with joy, and her eyebrows curved even deeper. She smiled like a little fox. So In the three years that Ive been with Uncle, can you stand on my side and not let me be bullied by bad people? As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Mu saw those ck eyes darken a few degrees, making her heart tremble. She swallowed nervously and emphasized, As long as I graduate in three years and have a job, Ill be able to rely on myself. Ill leave the Qiao family and never be afraid of being bullied by my stepmother again! Li Yans eyes turned cold. When the timees, will you get rid of me just like how you got rid of the Qiao family? Qiao Mu was stunned. They had agreed on a three-year deadline, and when the time came, they would just break up. Was there a need to get rid of them? Qiao Mu licked her dry lips and whispered, Uncle, isnt it a little inappropriate to discuss this now? Im your woman now, so you have the responsibility to protect me. If anything happens to me, dont you think the five million you spent on me will go down the drain? Uncle definitely wont do a losing deal, right? Li Yan had experienced the little things eloquence before. She clearly had a favor to ask of her, but she said it as if it was his duty. It was as if he was really wrong if he did not do as she said. Qiao Mu actually couldnt figure out Li Yans personality. She stared at him with her big eyes, waiting for his response. At this moment, the butler came over with the porridge. Li Yan nced at him indifferently. Drink the porridge. You havent agreed yet Qiao Mu was just about to retort when the mans warning gaze swept over. Qiao Mu immediately shut her mouth and obediently ate her porridge on the coffee table. Qiao Mu had no appetite at all as she drank the in porridge. She looked up at Li Yan and could not help but say, Uncle, can I have a normal meal? To you, this is normal. My stomach has recovered. You can only eat porridge today! Youre right. If you dont take good care of your body and something happens to you, Ill be the one who suffers! Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, she dug her own hole again! Qiao Mu silently ate her porridge when Li Yans phone rang. He got up and went to the balcony to answer the call. The call went through. Lei Yi reported, Young Master, the matter has been settled. The person who sent the message to Qiao Ya has been found to be pregnant after investigation. The school will deal with this person tomorrow. Li Yan hummed in acknowledgment and said in a cold and emotionless voice, Yu Corporation is too free. Find something for Yu Tingyun to do. When Li Yan returned to the living room, he saw Qiao Mu blinking her big eyes and looking at him. She then said pitifully, Uncle, Im not full yet. He had porridge in the morning, porridge in the afternoon, and porridge at night. Just thinking about it made his stomach hurt! Even if his stomach wasnt sick, he was starving! Li Yan looked at her scrunched up face and said generously, lf youre not full, go get another bowl of porridge. I dont want porridge. I want to eat the main course. Is that okay? What do you think? I said yes. When she saw the mans cold face and his expression that said that there was no room for discussion, Qiao Mu took the initiative to move forward. Uncle, I want to get better as soon as possible too. Im so hungry that Impletely powerless. Impletely ipetent as a bedmate.. Ill me myself for this! Chapter 130 - 130: Taking Someone’s Money to Help Someone Eliminate Disaster Chapter 130: Taking Someones Money to Help Someone Eliminate Disaster Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus face didnt turn red nor did her heart skip a beat when she said this. For the sake of a meal, she was willing to go all out. Qiao Mu had always been shameless. It was no big deal for her to say something against her will for the sake of the goal in front of her. As for her responsibility in bed, she would talk about it after she had eaten her fill! Li Yan seemed to be very interested in her words. The corners of his mouth curled up. You me yourself? Qiao Mu nodded heavily. Thats right. Taking someones money to help someone eliminate a disaster, I understand this logic! Youre really sensible. Qiao Mu couldnt hear the emotions in Li Yans indifferent words. She had already asked for food so shamelessly. If he still didnt agree, he would be too disrespectful! In the next second, the man raised his hand and pinched Qiao Mus cheek twice with hisrge hand. A yful smile appeared on his lips. I want to see how thick your skin is. Its indeed very thick. No wonder your stepmother was so angry at you. Qiao Mu was speechless. F * ck! A tant humiliation! Qiao Mu angrily raised her hand to smack the hand that was pinching her face, but before she could touch his hand, he had already retracted it. It was simply too infuriating! Then, Li Yan took his phone to the balcony to make a call. Qiao Mu red at his back angrily. He didnt give her food, so she went out to eat by herself! Qiao Mu took out her phone and sent Chi Xia a message. Call me when you see the message! Li Yan was making a call to the doctor. He quickly hung up and returned to his room. Li Yan nced at the unhappy little thing and looked at the butler. Uncle Chen, lets make noodles for dinner. Qiao Mu was stunned. She could eat dinner now? Before Qiao Mu could rejoice, Li Yan said, thought about it and decided not to let you me yourself. Qiao Mu was speechless. Was he deliberately trying to make her unable to digest this meal? Qiao Mu was finally satiated, and her stomach was no longer ufortable. However, she still had to take her medicine on time. The medicine was ced in Li Yans room, and Qiao Mu returned to her room to take her medicine. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Li Yan walking in. The man leaned against the door andzily sized Qiao Mu up. Why? Youre so impatient to crawl into the room after youve just eaten? Qiao Mu was speechless. Impatience your sister! Just as Qiao Mu was thinking about how to deal with Li Yan, Chi Xias call came in just in time. The call went through and Chi Xias voice came through, Cant you call me when youre looking for me? Are you so stingy that you cant even bear to pay for your phone bill? What? Qiao Mu deliberately raised her voice and said into the phone in an incongruous manner, Theres an evening self-study tonight. Do you have to go back to school? Was it important? But I cant go back now! Huh? Chi Xia was confused. What are you talking about? Where are you Alright, I understand. Ill go backter. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she ignored Chi Xias confusion and hung up the phone. Qiao Mu put down her phone and looked at Li Yan with a troubled expression. Uncle, I have to go back to school tonight. I have something to do at school Li Yans lips curled up, and his eyes were cold. Why? Do you want to be irresponsible for your words now? I really have something to do Little thing, do you know that ying tricks in front of me is not a smart move? As Li Yan approached, Qiao Mu retreated step by step, quickly forcing her into a corner. He lifted her chin and leaned closer. Even if you want to leave, you have to fulfill your duty as a bed-half first. Youre the one who said that youd take someones money to solve their problems. [Do you guys think its better to update it every day all at once, or to update it twice?] Chapter 131 - 131: Yao Shu Was Fired From School Chapter 131: Yao Shu Was Fired From School Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu shrunk her head. She could feel the mans breath hitting her cheeks, causing her face to blush. When she took the initiative to approach him, she didnt feel anything. Why did her heart beat faster every time he leaned towards her? She pursed her lips and stared nervously at the mans face in front of her. She reminded him, Uncle, its still early Its gettingte. Im already sleepy. Qiao Mu was speechless. Why were his eyes glowing and staring at her like a beast? However, Li Yan did not give Qiao Mu any more time to think. He pressed his lips against hers, hooked his long arm around her petite body, and fell toward the sofa. Following Qiao Mus low cry, the mes in a certain mans body were instantly ignited, and it became uncontroble. The temperature in the room instantly soared. The kissndedpletely, and wherever it went, it evoked a trace of numbness, causing Qiao Mu to involuntarily tremble. Even though she had experienced this unfamiliar feeling a few times, she still could not control it. A flirtatious sound came from the room. Qiao Mu only felt the air in her nostrils getting thinner and thinner, and only a mans unique scent remained. Soon, all of his consciousness was taken away. After an unknown period of time, just when Qiao Mu thought that everything was over, a certain man once again raised his saber and went into battle. He did not have the slightest intention of letting her off so quickly! Seeing Qiao Mus flustered expression, the man curled his lips and consoled her in a low voice. I spent money to buy a bed and a half, so I naturally have to properly examine it to see if the money was worth it. After a pause, he pressed his lips against her ear with a hint of seduction. So, lets take it slow tonight. Qiao Mu was speechless. Test your sister! Youve already taken advantage of me enough, and now youre shamelessly talking about testing me! That night, Qiao Mu made full use of the bed. Behind her, a certain man asked angrily, Arent you going to school? Shall I send you there? Qiao Mu could only use her mouth to exert strength, and she fiercely ground her teeth, really wanting to bite him. She had already been eaten by him, so why was she still going back to school? He knew the answer! Besides, how could she have the strength to get out of bed now that she was so exhausted? The next day, Qiao Mu slept untilte in the morning. When they arrived at school, there was only one ss left in the morning. Qiao Mu sneaked into the ssroom and Chi Xia red at her. Youve been neglecting your worktely. Something big happened when you didnte this morning! What is it? Qiao Mu asked casually. Yao Shu was expelled from school. Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock as Chi Xia continued with an exaggerated expression, Shes actually pregnant. The school found out and expelled her! Qiao Mu knew that Yao Shu would definitely pay the price for this matter, but she did not expect it to be so straightforward. Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mu. Why arent you surprised that shes pregnant? Yao Shu told me before. She told you? Didnt you guys have a bad rtionship? Is she going to show off her pregnancy to you? Qiao Mu shrugged. She thinks that this is a good thing. Shes very happy that the person she likes is pregnant, so we dont have to worry about her. In the afternoon, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia went to have lunch outside the school and saw Yao Shu moving her things out of the school. Chi Xia was puzzled. Why hasnt the person she likes shown up yet? Yao Shu saw Qiao Mu from afar and immediately threw away the things in her hands before pouncing toward Qiao Mu. Fortunately, Qiao Mu reacted quickly and dodged the arm that was swinging toward her in time. Yao Shu, what are you doing? Chi Xia asked angrily.. Chapter 132 - 132: Her Partner Was Not Han Su Chapter 132: Her Partner Was Not Han Su Trantor: 549690339 Get out of the way! Yao Shu red at Qiao Mu with bloodshot eyes. Qiao Mu, youre too sinister. You reported my pregnancy to the school and now Im expelled. Are you happy now?! Qiao Mu frowned. Its your own fault that you were fired. Dont me it on me. Do you think everyone else likes to y dirty tricks like you? I only told you about this. Who else could it be? Yao Shu pushed Chi Xia away. Qiao Mu, dont be too smug. Ill be the Young Mistress of the Han family from now on. Lets see who can be smug until the end! Chi Xia couldnt stand it anymore. Yao Shu, are you done? Mu Mu did offend you. Even if youre dating Han Su, what does it have to do with her? I advise you not to be so angry if you want to keep the child! You! Yao Shu was so angry that her face turned red. Qiao Mu took out a pen and paper from her bag, wrote down Han Sus phone number, and handed it to Yao Shu. This is Han Sus phone number. Yao Shu, Han Su told me personally that hes not dating you. You can call him yourself. Do you need to give me his phone number?! The call you madest time was not Han Sus voice. Call this number. Qiao Mu had already done what she could. She did not hate Yao Shu, but she felt that it was quite a pity that the originally quiet girl had suddenly changed beyond recognition. Yao Shu looked at the phone number on the paper and smiled coldly. Alright, if you still dont believe me, then Ill call him in front of you! Yao Shu took the phone and entered the number, then dialed the number. However, this number was not the number of her husband that she had saved in her phone. Soon, the call was connected, and a maic male voice came through.Hello, Im Han Su. Yao Shu held her phone in shock and didnte back to her senses for a long time. She would call Han Su every day. He would whisper sweet nothings in her ear every night. Yao Shu knew his voice very well. However, the voice on the other end of the phone was apletely different person. Yao Shu suddenly remembered that she had seen Qiao Mu and Han Su together once, and she had gone over to greet them. At that time, Han Sus voice was the same voice on the phone. The voice on the other end of the phone sounded again. Hello? Are you there? Who are you? Yao Shu could barely hear her own voice as she said mechanically, You Youre not Han Su! Qiao Mu and Chi Xia looked at each other and felt that something was off about Yao Shu. Qiao Mu took the phone from Yao Shus hands and said into the phone, Senior Han Su, its me, Qiao Mu. Han Suughed. Mu Mu, who was that person just now? Shes Yao Shu. Ive mentioned her to you before. Shes my ssmate. Yao Shu? Han Su sounded confused. At that moment, a car stopped in front of them. The door opened, and Han Su held her phone in her hand. Qiao Mu noticed that Yao Shut s eyes widened in disbelief the moment she saw Han su. The next second, Yao Shu pounced on Han Su and grabbed Han Sus clothes with both hands. Han Su, its me! Im Yao Shu! Han Su frowned, and her face turned cold. She took a step back. Youre the one that Mu Mu said she was dating? Excuse me, do we know each other? Yao Shu shook her head in disbelief. She quickly took out her phone and dialed her husbands number in her contact list. Soon, the other party picked up. It was a familiar voice, and there was some impatience in it.Didnt I tell you not to call me during the day? Im very busy.. Chapter 133 - 133: You Must Chase After Mumu Chapter 133: You Must Chase After Mumu Trantor: 549690339 How can this be, how can this be Yao Shu mumbled to herself and then ran away out of control. Qiao Mu was now certain that the boyfriend Yao Shu mentioned was really not Han su. Han Su looked innocent. Mu Mu, is your ssmate mentally ill? I dont know whats going on either. Qiao Mu shook her head. Chi Xia smiled. Senior Han Su, I thought you were really a scumbag. I misunderstood you. Han Su shrugged indifferently. Are you going out for dinner? Lets go together. Tell me whats going on while youre at it. Since someone was treating them, there was naturally no reason not to go. In the dining room, Han Su understood what was going on and sighed. Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved. Otherwise, I would have been treated as the childs father! Chi Xia put the food into her mouth and smiled, No, Mumu believes that your character wont be that bad. Han Su looked at Qiao Mu and joked. Its a pity that I dont n on dating before graduation. Otherwise, with Mumus trust in me, I would definitely woo Mumu! Qiao Mu picked up a piece of spicy stir-fried chicken and chewed it delicately before replying, Senior, I dont n on dating before graduation either. Thats good. I can wait for you to graduate. Qiao Mu was speechless. Chi Xia came to his rescue at the right time. Senior, dont even think about Mu Mu. Mu Mu is already taken! Oh? If you dont n to fall in love, how can you be taken? Qiao Mu lowered her head and ate, ignoring these two useless people. She thought that when she returned to the Li family home at night, Li Yan would not let her eat too much because of her weak stomach, so she would eat more of her favorite food for lunch. She didnt like spicy food when she was young, so she never had spicy dishes when she ate at the Li familys house. asionally, she woulde out to eat Sichuan-style food, which was quite satisfying. Just as Qiao Mu was eating with her head lowered, Chi Xia nudged her with her elbow. She looked up in confusion and was shocked to find Li Yan standing right in front of her. Qiao Mus mouth widened exaggeratedly. Was she seeing things? There were not many people in the restaurant. When Li Yan entered the door, he saw a familiar figure at first nce. She seemed to be eating happily and was smiling at the man opposite her. That smile was very natural. Li Yans dark eyes darkened when he saw the rxed state she was in when she was with a friend. She was always like a little fox in front of him. She was either scheming or bootlicking. She had never been so natural before. At this moment, she was just an 18-year-old girl chatting happily and eating happily. Ling Xi, who was behind him, shouted, Big brother is too stingy. I went to that godforsaken ce for more than a month. When I came back, I had to be treated to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. I came to a ce like this for a meal. Im really not valued! Lu Jingzhi nced at Ling Xi. Please get this straight. Its your third brother today. My treat! Ling Xi scoffed. Youre the third in line. Youre indeed a mistress. Youre not presentable. Even though the people behind him were chattering non-stop, Li Yan could still hear the conversationing from the table. You must get Mumu. I dont n on dating before graduation. I can wait for you to graduate. Every word was heard clearly by Li Yan. It was as if there was ice and snow in his ears, causing Li Yans eyes to turn as cold as winter.. Chapter 134 - 134: Meal, Chance Encounter with Uncle Chapter 134: Meal, Chance Encounter with Uncle Trantor: 549690339 He stopped in his tracks. The little thing raised its head slowly and looked at him in surprise. Uncle? Qiao Mu was stunned for a few seconds before she softly called out. Why was he here? Why did she suddenly feel that this huge city of Beijing was so small? She could see him everywhere! Qiao Mu only took a nce at the man before she noticed that he did not look well. Qiao Mu immediately reflected on herself. This diligent beast was clearly very satisfiedst night, and he left as soon as he woke up. She was sure she didnt make him unhappy! Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu with a cold and handsome face, and his thin lips moved. Are you eating? Yes, Im eating with my ssmates. Qiao Mu exined. Ling Xi stared at Qiao Mu from the side. After a few seconds, he finally remembered and pointed at Qiao Mu in realization. Youre Eldest Brothers Before Ling Xi could finish his sentence, Li Yans cold gaze swept over him. He immediately shut up. Han Su stood up and greeted Li Yan. Then, he asked politely, Mr. Li, do you want to join us? Alright. Han Su had just asked when Li Yan agreed readily. Everyone else was stunned. Ling Xi didnt know what was going on. Wasnt it just a simple weing party for him today? Why did Yang want to eat at the same table as others? Before Ling Xi could say anything, Lu Jingzhi had already dragged her away. Lets go. Why are you still standing here? Do you want to sit at the same table as them? Ling Xi nced at Li Yan. This man seemed to be in a good mood at first, but it seemed like his expression changed after entering the restaurant. There was indeed something fishy going on! Ling Xi and Lu Jingzhi went to the private room upstairs. Ling Xi said excitedly, Did you see that? That little beauty just now is the one I saw in Big Brothers officest time. Shes Big Brothers woman! After Ling Xi finished speaking, he frowned when he saw that Lu Jingzhi was not interested at all. Why arent you gossiping anymore? Wait, what happened in the month I was gone? Downstairs, at the long table for four, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia sat on one side, Li Yan and Han Su sat on the other side, and Li Yan and Qiao Mu sat opposite each other. The originally rxed atmosphere instantly turned heavy because of Li Yans participation. Mr. Li, Han Su said with a smile, what else would you like to order? Please add more dishes. We do need to add more dishes. Li Yan nced at the dishes on the table. They have a strong taste. Theyre all Sichuan dishes. They dont suit me. These words were spoken lightly, but Qiao Mu could hear the smell of gunpowder. Was he unhappy that she ate spicy food? So Mr. Li doesnt like spicy food. Han Su continued, It seems that Mu Mu doesnt like spicy food like you. Qiao Mu was speechless. He wasnt her father, so why should she take after him? Han Su knew Qiao Mus status in the Qiao family, but he did not know that Li Yan was actually a rtive of Qiao Mus stepmother. He thought that Li Yan was Qiao Mus biological uncle. The Li family and the Yu family had not interacted for many years, so it was normal that he did not know about their rtionship. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, and he looked at Qiao Mu with a faint smile. Yeah, not like me! Qiao Mus lips twitched and she smiled, She enthusiastically added a piece of chicken for Li Yan. Uncle, eat this. Its delicious. Delicious? Looking at the te full of red peppers, I feel my stomach burning before I even eat it. I think my stomach will hurt after eating it. Qiao Mu was speechless. He was speechless! Chi Xia silently felt the unpleasant atmosphere. She looked at Li Yan and then at Qiao Mu. Then, Chi Xia whispered into Qiao Mus ear, It seems like youve sessfully pulled a powerful enemy into your camp! Chapter 135 - 135: You Haven ‘t Made Uncle Your Friend? Chapter 135: You Haven t Made Uncle Your Friend? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus smile froze. She red at Chi Xia and warned in a low voice, Dont give me trouble! Chi Xia ignored Qiao Mus uneasiness and continued to tease her. Havent you made your uncle one of us yet? Youre too inefficient! Hes a ready-made tall, rich, and handsome man. Its a waste not to want him! Qiao Mu was speechless. This bad friend, could he not give her more trouble? Li Yan was ordering food from the menu when he heard the two people whispering to each other. When he heard Chi Xias words, he turned his gaze to Chi Xia and took a proper look at her. This ssmate of Qiao Mus had quite good taste. Chi Xia did not know that Li Yan had already ssified her as a worthy friend of Qiao Mus just because of what she said. Li Yan added three more dishes. When the dishes were served, Qiao Mu realized that these three dishes were all light vegetarian dishes. Qiao Mu looked at the te of stir-fried broli, then looked at the red Spicy Boiled Fish. Indeed, thetter was more appetizing. She moved her chopsticks and just as she picked up a piece of Spicy Boiled Fish, she felt a cold gaze sweep over her head and her movements immediately froze. The man opposite her looked at her with a sharp gaze, a faint smile on his lips as he quietly gazed at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu was about to put the fish meat into her bowl, but in the next second, her hand that was holding the chopsticks turned and ced it into Chi Xias bowl. Xiaxia, dont you love Spicy Boiled Fish? Eat more! Chi Xia was slightly stunned. Since when did this girl treat her so well? She had never taken the initiative to pick up food for her! Qiao Mu secretly sighed and resigned herself to her fate as she picked up a stalk of Chinese broli and started eating. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up slightly, and the coldness on his face dissipated a little. Thinking of their conversation just now, Li Yan turned to look at Han Su. Young Master Han seems to be very familiar with my Mumu. Cough- Qiao Mu violently choked. The food stuck in her throat, and she started coughing uncontrobly. She quickly took a sip of water to stop her coughing. She wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue to hide her embarrassment. What did Li Yan say? My Mumu? This man was simply too thick-skinned. When did she be his?! Han Su looked at Qiao Mu and smiled. Mu Mu, no ones snatching it from you. Eat slowly. Li Yans expression turned cold as soon as he said that. Only then did Han Su answer Li Yans question. Mr. Li, I am indeed quite close to Mu Mu. Oh, youre so familiar with her that you want to pursue her? Han Su was stunned. He could vaguely feel the coldness in Li Yans eyes when he said that. This reminded him of the first time he met Li Yan. This man had coldly told him not to appear in front of Qiao Mu again. Han Su had treated Li Yans attitude at that time as protection for his child. Although Han Su felt that something was wrong, he didnt think too much about it. He just exined, Mr. Li, I was just joking. Mumu and I are just friends for the time being. Temporarily. This word was used very well! Li Yan pursed his lips and looked at the little thing who wanted to stay out of it. Qiao Mu had no choice but to raise her head and smile at Li Yan. Uncle, I dont n on dating before graduation. You dont have to worry about my studies. Li Yans deep ck eyes lifted slightly. It was impossible to tell if he was satisfied with this answer. The atmosphere of the meal was stiff. After the meal, Qiao Mu took out medicine from her bag and consumed it. What medicine is this? Chi Xia asked. Are you sick? Stomach medicine. My stomach wasnt feeling well two days ago, but its fine now.. Chapter 136 - 136: Won’t Fall In Love Before Grading Chapter 136: Wont Fall In Love Before Grading Trantor: 549690339 Han Su frowned when he heard that. Mu Mu, you have a weak stomach, but you stille here to eat Sichuan cuisine. You should take care of yourself. Qiao Mu quickly nced at Li Yan. Although she was answering Han Sus question, she was speaking to Li Yan. Its because Xiaxia wants to eat it. Shes too greedy! Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia was innocent. She was the one who wanted toe, but now she had pushed it away! Qiao Mu got up and went to the bathroom. As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, a strong arm wrapped around her, and shended on a firm chest in the next moment. She panicked. Then, she smelled a familiar minty scent that belonged to Li Yan. Qiao Mu raised her head and smiled with narrowed eyes as she called out, Uncle, why are you here? Li Yan pressed Qiao Mu against the wall, lowered his head, and kissed her on the lips. The tongue went straight in, menacingly. Before Qiao Mu could react, the man had already acted recklessly in her mouth! This man was getting more and more impudent. He was doing evil things to her regardless of the asion! Qiao Mu pressed her hands against her chest and pushed him hard before she could catch her breath. Uncle, why did you kiss me the moment you came up?! Li Yan narrowed his eyes and stuck out his tongue to lick her lips. I want to taste if its chili in your mouth. Qiao Mus expression stiffened, and her face turned red. Her entire body went limp from his frivolous actions. As expected, this man was unhappy because she ate spicy food. Qiao Mu didnt dare to rx and exined in a low voice, only ate a little. I know my stomach is not good, so I didnt dare to eat too much. I thought you couldnt eat spicy food? I told you, you can eat now. Yes, not only can it eat, but it can also eat very much! Li Yans tone was cold, as if he was very dissatisfied with her change. Raising his eyebrows, the man changed the topic. Are you happy that someone wants to pursue you after you graduate? Qiao Mu had an innocent look on her face. I didnt! Uncle, that was just a joke. Dont take it seriously. Is that so? But I think that kid is very serious. Uncle, youve misunderstood. Were really just friends. I swear, no matter what, well always be friends! As she spoke, Qiao Mu raised her hand and made an oath. But you said that you wont date before graduation? Yes, yes. Qiao Mu nodded to express her sincerity. Dont worry, Uncle. I definitely wont fall in love. Qiao Mu thought that Li Yan would be very satisfied with her words, but she realized that the mans face had suddenly darkened, and his eyes had darkened. His expression was obviously unhappy. Just as Qiao Mu was at a loss as to what she had said wrong, she heard the mans voice. Qiao Mu, if you dont date before graduation, then what are you and me? The mans sudden question stunned Qiao Mu. The words half of the bed almost jumped out of his mouth subconsciously, but it was stuck in his throat. Based on Qiao Mus experience, she would definitely not have a good ending if she said those two words at this time. Qiao Mus nimble mind spun quickly as she looked at Li Yan with a smile. Uncle, were true love! After a pause, Qiao Mu saw that the mans expression had eased up a little. She smiled shrewdly like a little fox. Uncle and I have skipped the vulgar step of dating and directly entered the highest and deepest stage of our rtionship. [There will be two updates today. The remaining two chapters will be updated during the day..] Chapter 137 - 137: Uncle versus Little Loli Chapter 137: Uncle versus Little Loli Trantor: 549690339 The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, and his sharp eyes seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. His thin lips moved, and he spat out three words. tterer! His clear and cold voice did not contain any displeasure. Qiao Mu knew that he was very satisfied with her answer. Qiao Mu grinned and slyly smiled. Uncle, dont you like a bootlicker like me?! Looking at the little things smile, Li Yan said hoarsely, 1 like it too, vixen. Qiao Mu was speechless. This hooligan! Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes and continued smiling. Uncle, you werent happy just now. Are you jealous? Li Yans fingers gently caressed her lips. His voice was still low and maic. Yes, I am jealous. Qiao Mu was stunned, and the man only paused for a moment before speaking again. So how should I punish you? Qiao Mu was speechless. This time, he was really shooting himself in the foot! She had wanted to take advantage of him, but she did not expect that she would fall into a pit instead! Qiao Mu awkwvardly smiled and changed the topic. Uncle, um, my ssmate has been waiting for me for a long time. I should go back. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, and hisrge hand pped Qiao Mus butt. Lets go. Ill teach you a lesson when we get back tonight! .. This pervert! Qiao Mu returned to the dining table and feigned ignorance as she asked, Wheres my uncle? He left right after you left. He probably went to his friends ce. Chi Xia replied. Oh, Qiao Mu replied. As expected, Li Yan never returned. Upstairs, Su Chen entered the private room and said, Why did you decide to eat here? Working all day is already very hot, but I still have to eat Sichuan cuisine. My body cant take it. Big Brother asked me toe here, Lu Jingzhi replied. They had already booked a table at the Abundance of Gold and Jade Hotel in the afternoon. However, Li Yan suddenly asked toe here on the way. The quality of the lunch was immediately lowered. Su Chen saw that there were only Lu Jingzhi and Ling Xi and asked, Wheres Big Brother? Ling Xis expression was ambiguous. Shes downstairs having dinner with her little lover. Didnt you see? When Su Chen arrived, Li Yan was not at his seat and he did not see him. He was about to speak when Li Yan walked in. Big Brother, is Qiao Mu downstairs? Su Chen asked as he looked at Li Yan. Li Yan raised his eyebrows and tacitly agreed. Su Chen smiled. This fate is really not shallow. We even met each other over a meal. Are you sure this is fate and not man-made? Lu Jingzhi asked faintly. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like a coincidence. Li Yan must have known that Qiao Mu was here, so he had changed the location of the meal to this ce at thest minute. Li Yan sat down nonchntly and nced at Lu Jingzhi. Why? You want something, but you dont take the initiative to offer it, and youre waiting for GOCI to arrange an opportumtyg Lu Jingzhi could not refute. This Young Master Li had his eyes on his prey. It was really scary when he took the initiative. He wondered if he had scared his little nephew. Ling Xi, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, Why do I feel like Ive left your circle after leaving for less than two months? Who can tell me who Qiao Mu is? Could it be sister-inw? Su Chen smiled faintly and exined kindly, Qiao Mu is Yu Tingyuns stepdaughter, Eldest Brothers little nephew, and also the little lover you mentioned. . Wait a minute, this rtionship is too messy. I have to slowly sort it out. This is too explosive! The few of them ignored Ling Xi. This news was indeed difficult to digest.. Chapter 138 - 138: Are We True Love? Chapter 138: Are We True Love? Trantor: 549690339 After a while, while everyone was eating and chatting, Ling Xi finally spoke up and shouted excitedly, Big Brother, no wonder you havent had a woman for so many years. Its not that youre not interested in women. It turns out that you have such a strong taste and like toy your hands on your young nephew. Su Chen was speechless. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Could it be that this fellow had been thinking about this matter all this while? Li Yans gaze was as sharp as a sword as it swept across Ling Xi. Ling Xi was too excited to stop the car and continued toment, didnt expect Big Brother to be so secretive! In the real-life version of an uncle against a little Ioli, that Qiao Mu looked like a high school student, and even Big Brother could do it! While Ling Xi was still sighing, he suddenly heard Li Yans voice, No. 3, theres nothing that hasnt been resolved. Let No. 4 handle it. I think hes more well-behaved overseas. Lu Jingzhi: There are a lot of things to do overseas. Why dont we treat this weing dinner as a farewell dinner? Ling Xi was speechless. He was just too excited and said a few more words. He dared to do it and not let others say it! Qiao Mu waited for an entire day, but there was no news from the Qiao family. Presumably, Yu Tingyun didnty her cards on the table with Qiao Jiannan because she wasnt confident. When Qiao Mu was surfing the inte with her phone, she identally saw that the cosmetics brand under the Yu Corporation had excessive lead and mercury content and was reported. Yu Tingyun was now in charge of the Yu Corporation. Yu Tingyun must be in a terrible situation now, so she naturally didnt have the energy to deal with her personal affairs. That night, after Qiao Mu returned to the Li residence, a certain man was indeed very stingy and did not let her off, torturing her thoroughly. Behind him, he even said that if he was jealous again, the punishment would be even heavier! After that. Qiao Mu called Qiao Jiannan with the excuse that she was about to take her exams. She said that she would not be going home for the time being and that she had to make full use of her time in school to revise her lessons. Simrly, Qiao Mu used this reason to deal with Li Yan. Its a good thing to pay attention to your studies, Li Yan said. Take your homework home to revise in the future. If theres anything you dont understand, Ill teach you. Qiao Mu was truly at her wits end. It was the weekend. Qiao Mu had nned to go shopping and have a meal with Chi Xia, but she was stopped at home by Li Yan. There was a pile of documents on the desk in the mans study. He then cleared a corner of the wide desk for Qiao Mu. Li Yan said to Qiao Mu while he was handling his official business, The exams areing soon. Be good and stay at home to revise your homework. .. Uncle, Im almost done with my revision. Theres no need to be so nervous over the weekend. The man raised his head and nced at her. Why? Dont you want to intern at mypany? Youll be fired after two days in mypany. Dont expect me to open the back door for you. If youre fired and dont get an internship certificate, you wont be able to hand in your homework at school. Dont be shameless and beg me. This mans mouth was really vicious. Did he have to attack her so mercilessly? He believed her when she said that the counselor had arranged the internship homework. Qiao Mu sat down to revise indignantly. Why did she feel like this man was bored from work and had asked her to apany him? After a long while, Qiao Mu was really not in the mood to revise her lessons. Sheid on her desk in boredom, then stuck her head out to look at Li Yansputer screen. She wondered what he was busy with that made him so focused. Li Yanpletely ignored her and continued to type on the keyboard seriously. His slender fingers danced quickly. His fingers were slender and long, like the hands that yed the piano. Qiao Muzily propped her chin and tilted her head as she asked, Uncle, are we really in love? Chapter 139 - 139: In This Life, You Are My True Love Chapter 139: In This Life, You Are My True Love Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan never expected Qiao Mu to study hard. She arranged for him to be by her side only to keep herpany. Therefore, the little thing next to him kept looking at this and that. He pretended not to see it and continued working. However, the little thing suddenly said this. Li Yans fingers that were typing on the keyboard stopped. He looked up and swept Qiao Mu with his sharp gaze. The little thing in front of him blinked its big eyes and looked at him with bright eyes. There was a hint of craftiness in its bright eyes. It was obvious that it was plotting something. He wondered what this little fellow was up to. Li Yanzily leaned back in his seat and looked at Qiao Mu without batting an eyelid. Qiao Mu felt guilty from his stare, so why did she have to put on such a mysterious expression? If she wasnt, then she wasnt. What was so difficult about throwing two words at her? Tsk, she couldnt even take advantaqe of him! Just when Qiao Mu thought that Li Yan would not answer her question, the man suddenly spoke with only one word, Yes. Qiao Mu was instantly stunned. Was he answering her question? Did he mean that they were truly in love? Li Yan raised his eyebrows and stared at her with his dark eyes. A trace of affection shed in his eyes as he said in a low voice, Qiao Mu, listen up. In this life, youre my true love. Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu was stunned. Li Yans response waspletely unexpected. It was like a bomb exploding in front of her eyes. She stared at his cold and handsome face. His eyes were filled with affection. In his eyes, she was like a rare treasure. His gaze never moved away from her for a moment. If there wasnt a hint of yfulness in the depths of his ck eyes, Qiao Mu would really think that this man had suddenly fallen in love with her. After being stunned for a while, Qiao Mu looked touched and pounced on Li Yan. Uncle, youre so good to me! Li Yan looked down at the little thing in front of his chest and narrowed his eyes. The yfulness in his eyes disappearedpletely and his voice rang in her ear, And then? And then What did Qiao Mu want to say? She had just acted out a romantic drama with him and had forgotten her initial goal? Qiao Mu thought about it and suddenly smiled. Uncle, since youre so good to me, how much do you n to pay me for my internship at yourpany? After a pause, Qiao Mu immediately said sensibly, You dont have to give me too much, but if you give me too little, itll be a little unkind to our rtionship, dont you think so? Yes. Qiao Mu was delighted and blinked at him. So, I wont give you a sry. Qiao Mu was speechless. The smile on her face froze. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up and he kissed her on the lips. Talking about money hurts feelings. Our true love is priceless! . F * ck! Qiao Mus face was flushed red. He had taken advantage of her, and she had not benefited at all! It was so difficult to y tricks in front of him! Li Yan hooked his arm around the petite body in his arms. You havent even joined mypany and youre already talking about sry? Now, lets talk about what happened before we entered thepany. Qiao Mu was puzzled, and then she heard the mans voice. Before you enter thepany, you have to go through an assessment. As for you, you dont have much ability, so you can only get in through the back door. Im going to give you your first lesson now and teach you how to get in through the back door. Qiao Mu instantly had a bad feeling when she saw the mans face pressing down on her.. Chapter 140 - 140: Wait for Me Here Obediently Chapter 140: Wait for Me Here Obediently Trantor: 549690339 In the next second, Qiao Mu was ced in Li Yans arms, and the mans lips pressed against hers. Qiao Mu felt a warmth on her back, and herrge hand lifted her clothes and reached inside. Qiao Mus body stiffened. This man was really going to act like a hooligan at any time, and he had no moral integrity at all! However, Qiao Mu did not dare to refuse! It was broad daylight. What if he was serious? Li Yan nced at the little things flushed face and narrowed his eyes. Although she was already his, she was still very nervous every time they were intimate. Her body was very stiff as if she was being forced by him. Li Yans eyes darkened. He tightened his grip on her waist and forced her toe closer to him. What, after seducing me, you want to pretend to be innocent? I didnt hook Lure you. Qiao Mus hands were pressed against his chest, secretly pushing him to keep a distance. Since were truly in love, isnt it natural for us to do such things? Qiao Mu secretly gritted her teeth. An animal that thinks with its lower body! Did he know what true love was? True love was caring for the other party with ones heart connected to the other. Always thinking about such things was not true love! Li Yans lips curled into a cold smile as he supported Qiao Mus body and ced her on the desk. Then, he leaned over and pressed his lips against hers before kissing her again. This time, it wasnt as gentle as before. It was a punishing kiss, and he did whatever he wanted in her mouth. Qiao Mu was shocked and embarrassed as she stared at the face that was inches away from her. She hurriedly shouted, Uncle, Ill be a good boy and review my lessons. I wont disturb you anymore! Im giving you a lesson again! Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu felt that she would not be able to avoid it this time when she saw the unconceble emotions in the mans eyes. At this moment, Li Yans phone rang. Li Yan paused for a moment and picked up the phone. He asked impatiently, What is it? As soon as the call connected, Ling Xi could tell from Li Yans tone that he was not in a good mood. However, he still said in a light tone, Big Brother, its the weekend. Should we have some fun? Im not free! Just as Li Yan was about to hang up, he heard Ling Xis annoying voice again. But were already at your house! Then, Li Yan heard the doorbell ring. Qiao Mu was nervously maintaining her original posture as she observed Li Yans expression. Then, she saw him toss his phone aside and his gaze fell on her again. Qiao Mu tensed up once again and subconsciously shrank her neck. The feeling of being stared at like prey by him was extremely bad. She really could not rx in such an embarrassing ce! Qiao Mus body lightened as Li Yan carried her from the study table and ced her on the chair. He lowered his head and bit her lips as a punishment. His low and hoarse voice rang in her ears. Wait for me here obediently! Li Yan strode out of the study, and Qiao Mu instantly heaved a sigh of relief. He had something to do? If she didnt leave now, was she really going to wait for him toe back and eat her? Downstairs, Su Chen, Lu Jingzhi, and Ling Xi entered the room openly. The weekend was really boring. The three men didnt know what to do, and they couldnt even get together to y mahjong. In the past, when Li Yan had not returned to the country, they could only pass the time by themselves. Now that Li Yan had returned to the country, they naturally had to gather together for some leisure and entertainment. The three of them changed their shoes and saw Li Yaning down from upstairs. He pursed his lips and looked cold. From his cold eyes, it could be seen that they were not very wee.. Chapter 141 - 141 Hiding a Mistress in a Golden House Chapter 141: Hiding a Mistress in a Golden House Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan went downstairs and nced at the three of them. His voice was cold and indifferent. Are you guys very free? Ling Xi nodded. Im indeed quite free. Brother, you dont have to stay at home alone on the weekends, do you? Its so boring to stay at home. You wont go out even if I call you, so we came to apany you to kill time. Li Yans face was cold. Yourpany is fine. Do you need me to arrange something for you? The goods in the Middle East are progressing very smoothly. Whats going on overseas now? Lu Jingzhi followed them into his house and took off his coat. He waved at the butler, Uncle Chen, clean up the mahjong room upstairs. We are going to y mahjong. Big Brother, youre chasing us away? Su Chen suddenly spoke. Are you hiding a mistress in your golden house? After Su Chen finished his sentence, everyones gaze fell on Li Yan. Li Yan raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. He did not intend to exin himself in the face of their doubts. At this moment, the sound of the door opening came from the room upstairs. The few of them turned their heads to look but did not see anyone. Then, they heard the sound of the door closing. Qiao Mu stayed in the study for quite a while. She did not know where Li Yan had gone, so she wanted toe out and check on the situation. However, when she opened the door to the study, she heard the conversation downstairs. Only then did she know that Li Yan had not gone out. Someone hade to her house. Qiao Mu hurriedly closed the door and hid in the study. There really is a woman hiding! Ling Xi eximed in surprise. Do I need to hide? Li Yan got up and walked upstairs. Seeing that the three of them had no intention of leaving, he said, Wait for me upstairs. Li Yan opened the door to the study room and saw the little one peeking behind him. Uncle, someone ising from your house. Can I go out and look for my friends? No. Didnt I tell you to wait for me obediently? Do you want to lock me in the room? Li Yans expression was cold when he saw the little things unhappy face. However, his tone became softer. Were ying cardster. You cane over and collect the money. After a pause, he added,lf you win, its yours. There was nothing else that made Qiao Mu happier than this piece of news. She had to take advantage of this! His originally listless face instantly brightened up as he nodded vigorously. Then, Uncle, you must win money. At this moment, in the mahjong room, Lu Jingzhi was ying mahjong in his hands. He looked at Su Chen and said, Second Brother, do you think the person hiding in the room is Qiao Mu? Su Chen nced at Lu Jingzhi. Arent you asking the obvious? Who else could it be? Lu Jingzhi frowned slightly. Lets not y mahjong anymore. If Yang gets that girl to y mahjong for him again, we will be the ones in trouble. The three of them walked out of the mahjong room and saw Li Yan walking over. Indeed, Qiao Mu was following behind him. Lu Jingzhi was the first to speak. Brother, lets discuss it. Lets y pool. Its very tiring to sit still while ying cards. Ah? Before Li Yan could speak, Qiao Mu was already unhappy and asked directly, Then do you want to y pool for money? Lu Jingzhi was speechless. She was really addicted to winning money. They were just having fun to pass the time, okay? It wasnt like he specialized in gambling! Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the little one. When she heard that they were not ying cards, she looked like she was about to leave. He said coldly, If you win one round, youll get 10,000 yuan. Qiao Mus eyes instantly lit up. This was much more worthwhile than ying cards! Just like that, what was originally a purely entertaining activity suddenly turned into gambling because of Qiao Mus words.. Chapter 142 - 142: The Strongest Among You Chapter 142: The Strongest Among You Trantor: 549690339 The few of them moved to the billiard room. Qiao Mu had lived in the Li residence for so many days, and only then did she realize that the Li residence was really well-equipped. The third floor and first floor were filled with all kinds of gyms, and there were all kinds of indoor sports programs avable. Qiao Mu was not very interested in billiards. She was more interested in winning money. The four of them were ying pool, and Qiao Mu was sitting on the sofa by the window, basking in the sun and eating fruits. She was leisurely and carefree, as though she was waiting to collect her money. Although the four men were all handsome and extraordinary, Qiao Mus gaze was still fixed on Li Yan. He raised the club, bent down, and got into position. His eyes were focused on hitting the ball. His series of movements were elegant and noble, making people unable to look away. Such a man seemed to be a natural king. He could control everything in his hands and simrly, he could hold her tightly. My eyes are staring straight at you. A voice suddenly sounded beside her. Qiao Mu turned her head and heard the other party continue, 1 havent introduced myself. Im Ling Xi. We met in Yangs office before. Yes. Qiao Mu nodded. Why do you call him Big Brother? she asked. Ling Xi crossed his legs and exined, Hes the boss, and Im the fourth. Of course I have to call him big brother. Qiao Mu was curious. You guys are ranked ording to age? Li Yan is the oldest among you? When Li Yan, who was ying quietly, heard this, he lost the ball that he should have won. The oldest? This little thing still dared to call him old! Ling Xi couldnt help but want tough. Big Brother was only 28 years old, and they were all the same age. It had only been a few months. Even if Big Brother was the oldest among them, he couldnt be considered old, right? We are ranked ording to ability. The one beside you is the weakest. Su Chen raised his pole and smiled. Ling Xi was speechless. In terms of martial arts, Ling Xi was indeed no match for Li Yan, but he was on par with Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi. He was ranked the youngest after a single mistake. Back then, they were still young. After Li Yan beat the three of them up, he got the title of boss and let the three of them rank on their own. As for the ranking method, it was rock-paper-scissors. Qiao Mu was not interested in whether Ling Xi was weak or not. She blinked her big eyes and asked, Then is Uncle the strongest among you? Li Yan walked up to Qiao Mu and nced at the bunch of grapes in Qiao Mus hands. He bent down and opened his mouth slightly. Did this man not have hands? Although Qiao Mu didnt really want to serve him, she still obediently put the grapes into his mouth when she thought about how he was helping her earn money. Li Yans lips curled up and he leaned close to her ear. His voice was low and brushed past her ear like a feather.You should know very well whether your man is strong or not. Qiao Mu was speechless. This hooligan! Qiao Mus face reddened unnaturally. In order to hide her awkwardness, she picked up a few grapes and stuffed them into his mouth. Uncle, eat more. Be good. Li Yan looked down at her. Do you want to y? Qiao Mu felt bored sitting there, so she nodded. But then she thought, But what if I lose money? With me teaching you, you wont lose. Then, Qiao Mu happily followed Li Yan to the pool table. Ling Xi was dumbfounded. This was simply unbelievable. He had never seen Young Master Li treat a woman with such an attitude. When they found out that there was a woman hiding in the house, Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi immediately identified her as Qiao Mu. At that time, Ling Xi was very surprised, but now it seemed that Qiao Mu was indeed extraordinary! [Todays update ends Chapter 143 - 143: Not Giving My Little Nephew Pocket Money Chapter 143: Not Giving My Little Nephew Pocket Money Trantor: 549690339 Due to Qiao Mus participation, the oue was indeed affected, but Li Yan still won 10,000 yuan in the end. However, the three men didnt bring any cash. If they didnt bring cash to gamble, wouldnt they be ruining the ce? Qiao Mu was worried that these rich people would forget about the small amount of money they owed in the blink of an eye, so under her strong request, Ling Xi, who had lost money, could only ask his assistant to send the cash over. Qiao Mu happily took the money and put it into her bag. When Ling Xi saw it, he said sarcastically, Big Brother, you dont even give your little nephew pocket money? Does this little money have to make her so happy? Li Yan nced at Ling Xi disapprovingly. How can taking your own money be the same as taking someone elses money? Of course Im happy to hold the money I won. Ling Xi was speechless. Qiao Mu was speechless. This man was too good at talking. Qiao Mu silently swallowed a stomach full of bitterness. These people really thought too highly of her status. Who would have thought that she was actually with him to repay her debt! The group was about to leave, and Qiao Mu was still happy about winning money when she suddenly heard Qiao Yas voice from outside the door. Brother Chen, are you here to look for my uncle? Qiao Mu instantly tensed up. She couldnt afford to go upstairs, so she hid behind the wall and secretly watched the scene outside. Qiao Ya looked at Su Chen with bright eyes. Her face was filled with joy and enthusiasm. She looked like a shy young girl who was waiting to be released. Su Chen opened the car door and nced at Qiao Ya coldly as if he was looking at a stranger. Miss Qiao, please call me Mr. Su. Chen Qiao Ya wanted to say something, but Su Chens eyes turned cold. She immediately changed her words.Mr. Smith, Im just about to go out. Can you give me a ride? Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Why? The Qiao family doesnt even have a car? Are the Qiao family and the Yu family about to go bankrupt? Qiao Yas expression turned ugly. Su Chen ignored her and got into the car, closing the door. Qiao Ya bit her lip and looked like she had suffered a great grievance. Because there were others present, she could only grit her teeth and endure it before leaving reluctantly. Lu Jingzhi walked to Su Chens car and knocked on the window. He teased, Second Brother, you really dont know how to be tender to the fairer sex. Her eldest brother was taken over by thatss Qiao Mu, so why arent you moved after so many years? If you like it, you can keep it. Su Chen started the car and stepped on the elerator. After saying that, the car had already driven far away. Inside the room, Qiao Mu seemed to have watched a good show. When Su Chen was with Li Yan, he felt that this person was easy to get along with. Now, it seemed that these two were really brothers. Their mouths were as poisonous as his! Qiao Mu wanted tough when she recalled Qiao Yas expression earlier. If Qiao Mu had not seen the scene just now, she would have almost forgotten that Qiao Ya used to like Su Chen. Back then, Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi often came to the Li family home. At that time, Qiao Mu was always pestering Li Yan, so she hung out with the three big boys. Every time Su Chen was around, Qiao Ya would definitelye over to join in the fun and would always circle around Su Chen. Just like how Qiao Mu was always pestering Li Yan, Qiao Ya was especially warm towards Su Chen. The only difference between them was that Qiao Mu could get Li Yan to give her a good look, while Qiao Ya would always stick her warm face to a cold butt. The Qiao familys eldest daughter, who had always been high and mighty, had always been arrogant. She had always lowered her head to Su Chen to please him, but he did not fall for her tricks at all. [Ill update a chapter first. A new week.. Ill give you a rmendation ticket Chapter 144 - 144: Was She Different To Him? Chapter 144: Was She Different To Him? Trantor: 549690339 Just as Qiao Mu was in a daze, her phone suddenly rang. Qiao Mu took out her phone. When she saw the caller ID, she narrowed her eyes and hesitated for a moment before answering the call. His tone became colder. Yao Shu, why are you looking for me Qiao Mu had just opened her mouth, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted. A weak and sobbing voice came from the other end of the phone. Mu Mu Im sorry, Im really sorry. I was wrong. I misunderstood you! Qiao Mu was startled and frowned. Whats wrong? Mu Mu, youre right. That bastard is really not Han Su, my child If its not Han Sus, then why do I still have this child? I dont have the face to live! Yao Shu lost control and shouted. Qiao Mu was shocked and quickly asked, Calm down. Tell me, where are you? Li Yan, who was standing at the side, noticed that Qiao Mus expression was a little off when she answered the call. He was about to ask her what was going on when he saw her put on her coat after hanging up the call and preparing to leave. Qiao Mu shouted at Li Yan while changing her shoes, Uncle, I have something to do. Ill go out for a while! Stop! Li Yan strode forward and grabbed the little thing that was about to run out of the door. Seeing her anxious face, he happened? Its urgent. Ill report to you when Ie back. Qiao Mu was about to leave after saying that, but she was stopped just as she stepped out of the house. Ill send you there. This little thing, why didnt she tell him if there was an emergency? He had just heard her call the name Yao Shu. If he remembered correctly, this person did not have a good rtionship with the little thing. The car stopped outside the hotel, and Qiao Mu immediately rushed into the hotel, but she was caught by Li Yan who was following behind her. Qiao Mu was as anxious as a grasshopper on a hot pan, and she was extremely nervous, but a certain man said nonchntly, Dont be rash. Walk slowly. Dont fall. Uncle, this is going to kill someone. Can you not be so calm? Have you forgotten how she treated you? She doesnt think about you and schemed against you time and time again. What does her life or death have to do with you? Li Yans eyes were filled with coldness. In Li Yans eyes, other than Qiao Mus matter, the other peoples matters were nothing. Whether they were dead or alive had nothing to do with him, let alone the little thing who had once harmed him! Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan in astonishment. This man really did not care at all. He could remain so calm and detached from others crisis. Qiao Mu knew that this was the mans nature, The moment she saw how cruel and merciless he was when he attacked Lin Xian, she knew that he was not as simple as she thought. After that incident, Qiao Mu found out about Lin Xians condition on the Inte. There were media reports that Lin Xians lower body was crippled, and even the root of his illness had been crippled. The public information was that Lin Xian hadmitted suicide due to drug overdosage, but Qiao Mu knew that all of this was done by this man. This man could take a persons life with just a flick of his finger. Qiao Mu looked up at Li Yan. Uncle, do you really not care about other peoples matters? If I had to worry about everyones matters, I would have been overworked and exhausted. What about me? Qiao Musrge eyes stared at Li Yan as she asked word by word, lf I was the one in a terrible situation today, would you still be so calm? Actually, there was no need to ask this question, because she had already seen it. That time, Lin Xian had killed someone else for her.. Did this prove that she was different from others? Chapter 145 - 145: Yao Shu Suicide Chapter 145: Yao Shu Suicide Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was uncertain. She could not see through this man, and she wanted to know just how important she was in his heart. The elevator was moving up, and it was very quiet. Qiao Mu suddenly felt a little nervous. Her deep and gloomy eyes met hers, and as usual, she couldnt understand the expression in them. It was only a few seconds, but it felt very long. Qiao Mus sudden question made Li Yan narrow his eyes slightly. There was a rare seriousness in the little things eyes. This was the first time she had started to care about their rtionship. Suddenly, the elevator door opened. Qiao Mu snapped back to her senses. When she thought of Yao Shu, she immediately rushed out of the elevator and ran toward the hotel room. She was a little disappointed that the man did not answer. However, Qiao Mu did not notice that the moment she turned around and ran away, Li Yans thin lips moved slightly, and the words that were about toe out of his mouth were forcefully stopped. Li Yan looked at the petite figure and his eyes darkened. He shook his head helplessly and stepped out of the elevator after a while to follow behind her. Could it be that in this little things heart, other peoples matters were always more important than his? Qiao Mu found Yao Shuts room, only to see a group of people surrounding the door, looking inside with different gazes. Qiao Mu hurriedly rushed over and heard the discussions of the people around her. Why would such a young girl slit her wrist andmit suicide? Whats there to get over? If it werent for the hotel staff passing by, Im afraid no one would have noticed. Young people nowadays have poor mental fortitude. Theyre so desperate over a small matter that they treat their lives as a joke! Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock. Slit her wrist tomit suicide?! He turned around and looked into the room. He was shocked to see Yao Shu lying in a pool of blood. Her face was as pale as paper and she was lying there motionless. The white towel wrapped around her wrist was already dyed red. Qiao Mu only felt a wave of dizziness, and her legs went limp. She lost her bnce and staggered forward. His body did not fall down and was caught by an arm. Li Yan stood behind Qiao Mu and nced around the room before pulling her into his embrace. His broad shoulders blocked her line of sight, preventing her from seeing such a bloody scene. The medical staff rushed over with a stretcher, and a group of people carried Yao Shu onto the stretcher. Qiao Mu hurriedly went forward and grabbed a doctor. Is she alright? The doctors voice was emotionless. Even a second of dy could be life-threatening for her. Please dont hinder our work. Qiao Mu leaned weakly against Li Yans chest. If she had realized that the person with Yao Shu was not Han Su, she would have let Yao Shu recognize the truth earlier. Perhaps things would not have developed to this point. Li Yan gently patted Qiao Mus back, and his deep voice sounded in her ear with a hint offort. lts alright. These three simple words made Qiao Mu feel more at ease. That night, Yao Shu was rescued in the hospital and her life was not in danger. She had lost too much blood, causing her to fall unconscious. Miraculously, her child still had signs of life. Qiao Mu finally heaved a sigh of relief. She didnt know if Yao Shu was happy or sad about this child. After a night of torment, Qiao Mu almost copsed. On the way back, Qiao Mu leaned weakly against the car seat, all her strength drained away. Suddenly, arge handnded on Qiao Mus head and gently rubbed it. Qiao Mu raised her head and met the mans gaze. His bottomless ck eyes seemed to want to suck her in.. Chapter 146 - 146: I Won’t Let You Feel Grievance Chapter 146: I Wont Let You Feel Grievance Trantor: 549690339 The mans thin lips moved, and his clear and indifferent voice rang out, full of dominance. Qiao Mu, if it were you, I wouldnt let you encounter such a situation. If you were with me, I wouldnt let you suffer unless youre disobedient. Qiao Mu was stunned for quite a while before she realized that he was answering her question in the elevator? She didnt know how she felt. Sometimes, his attitude towards her made her feel that she was different, but sometimes, his indifference made her believe that she was just a bed and a half. Qiao Mu did not harbor any hope for Li Yan. Back then, she blindly believed that she was different to him, but in return, he had heartlessly left. Qiao Mu would not suffer the same loss again. However, after hearing his words, a certain part of her heart seemed to have been forcefully torn apart, and her sealed emotions were leaking out bit by bit. Qiao Mus lips twitched, and she revealed a smile to cope with him. Uncle, you really dote on me. Ill be good! Qiao Mus attitude caused Li Yans expression to instantly darken. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, pursed his lips, and the coldness in his eyes deepened. When she asked him that question in the elevator, he couldnt hide the joy in his heart. He thought that she had finally opened her eyes and had feelings for him. So, even if he didnt respond to her at that time, he still wanted to tell her that if it was her, he wouldnt have let her face such a situation. With him around, she wouldnt be wronged. However, she had given him such an attitude! Very good! The car stopped at the Li familys courtyard. Li Yan pinched Qiao Mus chin and said coldly, Qiao Mu, my love for you depends on your performance. If your performance doesnt satisfy me, you wont be treated so well! Qiao Mu was so stunned that before she could react, she heard the man coldly spit out two words, Get out of the car! Qiao Mu got out of the car, and just as she closed the door, the car beside her started up and drove out of the courtyard in a puff of smoke. Li Yan stepped hard on the elerator and the car sped off into the distance. However, he still could not suppress the anger and disappointment in his heart. The car suddenly stopped by the roadside. Li Yan took a deep breath and took out a cigarette. He lit it and took a deep puff. The fire in his chest had nowhere to vent, making it difficult for him to breathe. Although this was not the first time he had run into a wall in front of Qiao Mu, perhaps he had greater hopes this time than before, which was why he lost control like this. Li Yan finally understood. This little thing was not a person with a heart. Just like back then, she was only using him when she got close to him. Thats right. If he hadnt identally overheard Qiao Mu and Qiao Yas conversation, he would never have known that the girl who pestered him like a dog skin ster all day actually had a motive. Li Yan exhaled the smoke in his mouth and leaned back in his seat. His ck eyes narrowed, and his dark eyes blended into the night sky, emitting an endless chill. From the very beginning, her goal was not simple, just like ten yearster! The car disappeared, and Qiao Mu stood rooted to the ground in a daze, unable toe back to her senses for a long time. Hisst sentence made the little fluctuation in her heart disappearpletely. Perhaps it was because Qiao Mu was extremely exhausted after a night of torment, but she quickly fell asleep after lying down. However, she felt very uneasy in her sleep.. Chapter 147 - 147: The Rabbit Was Resisting Too Chapter 147: The Rabbit Was Resisting Too Trantor: 549690339 Perhaps she was frightened by tonights bloody scene, but after falling asleep, Qiao Mus nightmares kepting. She had just fallen asleep in a daze when she was suddenly jolted awake. In front of her was endless darkness, and Qiao Mu curled up under the nket. Footsteps approached from outside the room, and the door opened immediately after. Qiao Mu saw a tall shadow standing at the door. He paused at the door for a moment as if he was sizing up the dark room. Then, he closed the door and approached her. Qiao Mu shut her eyes without a word and listened to the trivial sounds of clothes being taken off. Then, she felt the nket being lifted and the man lying down beside her. There was a faint tobo smell on his body that covered up the minty fragrance. Qiao Mu was facing Li Yan at the moment. After a while, she saw that the man did not move, so she slowly turned her body over with her back facing him. When she turned over, her legs moved slightly and identally touched the mans body. She immediately retracted her feet and kept a distance from the man beside her in a fit of pique. This action caused the pair of eyes in the darkness to darken a little. The anger in his heart that had yet to calm down suddenly surged up. Li Yan moved slightly and wrapped his arm around Qiao Mus slender waist, using his actions to dere his sovereignty domineeringly. Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and twisted her body, causing his arm to slide down from her waist. As if he was going against her, Li Yan tightened his grip on her waist once again. This time, Qiao Mu could not break free from his grip no matter how hard she tried, so she simply stopped moving and gritted her teeth angrily. Why did he have to do whatever he wanted while she had to be obedient? Even a rabbit would resist after being suppressed for a long time. Moreover, she was not as obedient as a rabbit! There was a slight gap between the two of them. Li Yan hooked his long arm and pulled Qiao Mu to his chest, and the two of them stuck together. Qiao Mu closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Suddenly, she felt a wave of heat at her ears and heard the mans voice. What, you want to annoy me? Ive reminded you that your treatment will depend on your performance! Qiao Mu turned around and red at Li Yan indignantly. She could not help but resist. There are 30 days in a month, and I have to go to work and have holidays. Even if you want me to perform well, you should at least give me time to rest, right? Im not in a good mood now and dont want to be obedient. Cant I apply for a leave? Li Yan narrowed his eyes coldly. Say that again! To apply for leave? Did she really treat being with him as a mission? I said, I want to take a vacation, I want to restOh Before she could finish her words, Li Yans lips had already sealed her mouth. Qiao Mu pushed him away forcefully, but this only further infuriated Li Yan. He deepened the kiss, nibbling at her as if he was kissing and biting her. Qiao Mu only felt pain on her lips, and all her arrogance vanished in an instant, reced by fear. Li Yans actions did not show any mercy to the fairer sex and carried a hint of punishment. Even his caressing made Qiao Mu feel pain and difort. Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and refused to respond to his kiss. However, she heard the man coldly chuckle. You dont like it? Qiao Mu, who said that we were true love? Who was the one who confessed to me that he loved me? And who was the one who swore to marry me? Qiao Mus eyes widened abruptly. She was caught off guard and lost her ability to react for a moment. The hand on her waist tightened, and the mans lips pressed against her ear. He lowered his voice, and every word he said emitted an icy coldness from the depths of his heart.. Qiao Mu, have you always been so irresponsible with your words? Have you never been responsible for your own words? Chapter 148 - 148: I Have Never Failed To Get What I Want Chapter 148: I Have Never Failed To Get What I Want Trantor: 549690339 This woman had stubbornly told him that she would marry him when she grew up. She had said that she loved him! At that time, he asked her disapprovingly, Do you know what love is? She raised her chin and her big eyes sparkled. Li Yan could clearly remember how she replied firmly, Big brother, no matter what love is, I love you! No matter what love is, I love you . When he thought about it again, he really felt that it was very ridiculous. She was really the same as back then. She could say irresponsible things to him without blushing or jumping! Thinking of this, Li Yans anger grew even more intense. Qiao Mu clenched her teeth tightly and coldly replied, When did I say I wanted to marry you? Why dont I remember? In the darkness, Qiao Mu could clearly feel the bone-chilling coldness emanating from Li Yan. She clenched her fists tightly, and a cold smile curled up on her lips. He still had the face to mention what happened back then. If he had note back to awaken her memories, she would have long forgotten about him! Back then, she treated him as her only support and loved him wholeheartedly. She was only seven or eight years old at that time. Although she did not know what love was, she was naiVe enough to marry him! But then? Then, the Li family moved. She only found out about such a big thing until he disappearedpletely! Those three years of memories were too beautiful to be real for her. What right did he have to mention them? Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes. He was angered by her words. Very good! Its okay if you dont remember. Ill help you remember! As soon as the man finished speaking, his body moved forward and pierced through Qiao Mu defenseless. It hurt! His body felt like it was being torn apart! Qiao Mu let out a low cry and was so angry that she wanted to curse out loud, but her lips were firmly kissed, leaving behind only the sound of resistance. In the past few times, this man had always attacked her when she was ready. He had always been concerned about her feelings. He had never felt anything other than pain like now! After a long while, Qiao Mu finally had a chance to catch her breath. She opened her mouth and cursed, Li Yan, you bastard! Get lost! Li Yan sneered. Compared to Qiao Mus pain, his ck eyes were filled with endless desire to forget, as if he wanted topletely possess her. After a while, just as Qiao Mu was shouting that she was tired and weakly enduring everything he did, she heard the man say forcefully, Qiao Mu, remember, youre mine. Ive never failed to get what I want. No matter how much you resist, you can only be mine! Qiao Mus heart sank bit by bit, and she bit down on the mans lips in a vengeful manner, as if she wanted to return all her pain to him. Li Yan did not seem to feel any pain and allowed her to bite him. Qiao Mu only let go of her teeth when she smelled a hint of blood. Qiao Mu curled her lips coldly and retorted recklessly, Li Yan, there are only three years between us. Itll pass in the blink of an eye! The man suddenlyughed softly, his low and hoarse voice carrying a hint of cruelty. Youre really naive. Let me tell you, if I want it, I wont let go even if it takes 30 years. Qiao Mus face instantly paled. Qiao Mu nearly died from anger! After the incident, Qiao Mu fell into a deep sleep. Her brows were slightly furrowed as she slept, and she seemed to still be in great pain. After venting his anger, Li Yan did not feelforted at all. It was as if his heart had been emptied, making him feel ufortable.. Chapter 149 - 149: To Him, She Was Planning to Spend Her Life With Him Chapter 149: To Him, She Was nning to Spend Her Life With Him Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan had never put in so much effort for anything. He had never wanted topletely possess someone so badly. Ten years ago, he had only wanted to protect that little girl from the bottom of his heart. But now, he had truly given his heart to her. But who knew that this little thing wouldnt buy it! The phone on the bedside table vibrated. Li Yan looked at the caller ID and picked up the call. Third Brother, whats the matter? Big Brother, we just received news that the goods that were sent to the Middle East a few days ago were intercepted halfway. That batch of goods is expensive. Who do you think should go over? Lu Jingzhi discussed. In the past, when Li Yan was overseas, he would usually settle the troubles of such underground organizations personally. However, after he returned to the country, it was obviously impossible for him to go overseas to handle such trivial matters. Needless to say, whoever asked would be involved in this mess. Even if Lu Jingzhi had already epted that this matter was his, he still asked symbolically. After Li Yan heard Lu Jingzhis words, he lowered his gaze to look at the little woman who was sleeping soundly beside him. His dark eyes darkened slightly as he said coldly into the phone, 111 go. For a moment, Lu Jingzhi thought that there was something wrong with his hearing. This kind of thing would take at least ten days to half a month. Was he really sure that he could let go of his nephew? Soon, Lu Jingzhi noticed that Li Yans tone was not right. In order not to get into trouble, he hung up the phone. Just as Lu Jingzhi hung up the phone, Ling Xi called. Ling Xiughed gloatingly. Third Brother, tomorrow Ill treat you to a farewell party. Dont say that Im not considerate. No need. Ling Xi pretended to be regretful. Theres not enough time? Then Ill have to wait until you return to China before I throw you a banquet to reward you. Lu Jingzhis voice waszy. Im not going anywhere. Why are you holding a farewell party for me? Oh right, I forgot to tell you that Big Brother said that he would personally go to the meeting this time! Ling Xi raised her voice. What did you say? How is that possible? When did big brother be so considerate to you? How did you do it? Lu Jingzhi smiled faintly. I didnt do anything. I was just lucky enough to catch up with my brother and his nephew. They had a conflict. Ling Xi was speechless. They were still fine in broad daylight. Why did they have a conflict in such a short period of time? Besides, even if there was a conflict, did Big Brother need to go abroad in a fit of anger? Ling Xi couldnt help but gossip. If Yang doesnt want to see his nephew, he can just disappear. Why did he hide overseas? Big Brother wont be influenced by a little girl and make such a decision! Wont he be affected by that girl? It seemed like Ling Xi still did not understand that this Qiao Mu was not just a temporary interest to Li Yan. He nned to spend the rest of his life with her. When Qiao Mu woke up the next day, she only felt that her entire body was aching terribly, especially a certain part of her body. She felt a burning sensation. Even after her first time, she had never felt such pain. She got up and saw an ointment on the bedside table. It was an ointment specially used for injuries. Qiao Mu snorted coldly in her heart. What was this? She wouldnt appreciate a p and a sweet date! After she was done packing, she went downstairs but did not see Li Yan. The butler said that Li Yan was on a business trip. Qiao Mu was indescribably happy when she heard this news. Finally, she was temporarily free. [Lets add one more. Girls, you have to give me good rmendation votes. This is the motivation for Suying to write..] Love the mud Chapter 150 - 150: Why Did You Give Birth To Me Back Then? Chapter 150: Why Did You Give Birth To Me Back Then? Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan left without a word, and Qiao Mu returned to her dormitory that very day. Qiao Mu did not go to the hospital to visit Yao Shu again. After all, there was a conflict between her and Yao Shu. Perhaps Yao Shus mood would be affected if she saw Qiao Mu. ording to the other students, Yao Shus mood had stabilized after she woke up and she was recovering. In the next few days, Qiao Mu focused on her revision to prepare for the exam. Qiao Mu was studying in the library when Chi Xia sat down beside her and said, 1 just came back from the hospital. Yao Shu is being discharged today. Are you sure you dont want to see her? No, if she doesnt want to see me, shell think that Im there to see her make a fool of herself. Chi Xia thought about it and agreed. Then, she said, 0h right, Ive already booked a ne ticket to United States in half a month. Ill leave after the exam. Qiao Mu was stunned. Youre going to look for Gu Cheng? Well, he was too busy toe back during the holidays, so I went to look for him. But I didnt tell him that I was going to surprise him! At the mention of Gu Cheng, Chi Xias face was full of smiles. She was so happy, as if she could see her boyfriend tomorrow. Qiao Mu propped her chin up and nced at Chi Xia. When did Gu Cheng get such good fortune in his life? How could he trick you into joining his pirate ship?! Chi Xia corrected him seriously, Wrong, its not a pirate ship, its a luxury cruise ship. Our Gu Cheng has great potential! Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered with her and continued to revise her homework. In the evening, Qiao Mu returned to the dormitory building and bumped into Yao Shu, who hade to move the rest of her luggage. Yao Shus face was still pale, and her wrist was still wrapped in gauze. It seemed that she had been discharged from the hospital before she had fully recovered. Yao Shu looked at Qiao Mu very calmly. Qiao Mu, Im going back to my hometown. I dont think well have the chance to meet again in the future. Qiao Mus gaze fell on Yao Shus stomach. Yao Shu lowered her head to look at her stomach and twitched her lips. This child was lucky enough to stay, but Ive already decided that I wont give birth to this child. Qiao Mu was stunned. Have you thought it through? Yao Shuughed bitterly. Do you even need to think about it? That man is a liar. If I hadnt caught him with another woman in the hotel room that day, I wouldnt have given birth to his child! It could be seen from Yao Shus expression that she had no attachment to this child at all. It waspletely different from when she thought it was Han Sus child. It was normal for the child of someone she didnt like to stay. Looking at Yao Shu, Qiao Mu thought of Zhou Jieru. Back then, Zhou Jieru and Qiao Jiannan made a mistake after drinking. Zhou Jieru was very young at that time and had no feelings for Qiao Jiannan. She could have given up the child and started her own life again, but why did she give birth to her? If Zhou Jieru was like Yao Shu now, determined not to have children, then she would not exist in this world. Back in the dormitory, Qiao Mus mood seemed to be affected by Yao Shu. She was in a daze for a while, then she took out her phone and removed Zhou Jierus number from the cklist. She then dialed Zhou Jierus number. The phone rang and was quickly picked up. Zhou Jierus voice sounded on the other end, Mu Mu, its rare for you to take the initiative to call me. Could it be that you suddenly have a conscience and want to ask me how my life is? Qiao Mus voice was low as she directly asked, Mom, you had no feelings for Dad back then.. Why did you give birth to me? Chapter 151 - 151: She Had Dignity Chapter 151: She Had Dignity Trantor: 549690339 There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Zhou Jierus sharp voice sounded, You heartless child. I painstakingly carried you for ten months to give birth to you, and youre asking me why? Qiao Mus grip on her phone tightened, and her voice turned colder. Yu Tingyun said that you wanted to enter the Qiao family back then. Did you n to use me from the very beginning? Yu Tingyun is a b * tch. You dont trust me, but you trust her? I should have been ruthless enough to abort you back then. I wouldnt have stayed single for the rest of my life and be so miserable now! If Zhou Jieru was so cruel as to sell her daughter, why would she be reluctant to abort the child and let the child be a burden to her? If it was just a simple scam, she could use the abortion as a bargaining chip to ask the Qiao family to give her arge sum of money. Yu Tingyun was a person who cared about her reputation, so she would easily take out a sum of money to settle this matter. Qiao Mu had never thought about what happened back then. Now that she thought about it, she felt that many things did not make sense. In the following period of time, Qiao Mu practically ran back and forth between the ssroom, library, and dormitory every day. Her life could not be any more normal, and it was as in as before. Half a month had passed, but there was no news from Li Yan. This man did not call her or send her a message. It was not like him at all. However, no news was the best news. If she went on a business trip and didnte back for more than half a month, then three years would pass very quickly if she went on a few more business trips in a year. Finally, he passed the exam. Soon, Qiao Mu was faced with a problem. The holidays were about to start. What happened to the internship at Li Group? She couldnt even see Li Yan now! She opened WeChat and sent Li Yan a message.Uncle, when are youing back? She sent the message, but the other party did not respond. Qiao Mu angrily put away her phone and threw a tantrum at her for no reason. Then, she went on a business trip without a word and did not contact her or pay attention to him. This man was simply too much! Half of the bed also had dignity! Chi Xia was packing her luggage. She looked at Qiao Mus sullen expression and asked, What are you doing? Hurry up and book a taxi. If I miss the flight, I wont be able to leave. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Big Sis, its only ten in the morning. Your flight is at five in the afternoon. You wont be able to reach the airport in seven hours? Maybe theres a traffic jam. Qiao Mu was speechless. He couldntmunicate with a woman who was in love. After packing their luggage, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia had a simple lunch. It was still early, but Chi Xia insisted on leaving for the airport. Qiao Mu had no choice but to apany her to the airport. When they arrived at the airport, the two of them strolled around the luxury stores in the airport. Chi Xia bought a tie for Gu Cheng generously. Dont you think its cheaper to buy these luxury goods overseas? Qiao Mu couldnt help but give him a blow. Are you rich? Chi Xia looked nonchnt. These are limited edition. What if they dont have this one? I havent given the tens of thousands of yuan you gave me back to Gu Cheng yet. I wanted to save up 80,000 yuan and give it to him together, but now it seems that I can only dy it for a while. Chi Xia carefully ced the gift box into her bag, thinking that she would give it to Gu Cheng as a gift when they met. Qiao Mu looked at Chi Xia silently. Back then, when Gu Cheng chose to go abroad, Chi Xia was so calm that Qiao Mu thought Chi Xia did not have such deep feelings for Gu Cheng. But now, it seemed that the more he cared, the more rational he was.. Chapter 152 - 152: She Was Not Disappointed Chapter 152: She Was Not Disappointed Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu did not receive any messages from Li Yan. The messages she sent were like a grain of sand thrown into the sea, disappearing without a trace. Initially, she did not feel anything when she did not contact him for half a month. However, when she did, she could not contact him. Her heart was very.. Annoyed! Thats right, he was annoyed! She would never admit that she was a little disappointed! After Chi Xia left, Qiao Mu was the only one left in the dormitory. It was extremely boring. Qiao Mu couldnt take it anymore. At night, shey under the covers and sent Li Yan another message. Uncle, why didnt you reply to my messages? Uncle, did you not see it, or did you pretend not to see it! Uncle, even if you dont want to talk to me, shouldnt you keep your promise? Uncle, Im already on vacation. Wheres the internship? Uncle Dont tell me youve uninstalled WeChat? Li Yan, if you dont reply to me, Im going to go back on my word and not pay you back! Qiao Mu sent one message after another. In the end, Qiao Mu gave up and sent a bomb with a poop emoji. What he meant was, Ill blow your face up. In Country F, Li Yan had been busy dealing with the matters at hand since the day he arrived. Li Yan, Su Chen, and the other two had developed a powerful underground organization overseas and made some secret deals. The goods in his hands were intercepted by the enemy organization. Although this kind of thing wasmon, the amount of goods this time was huge and expensive. Li Yan spent a few days to deal with it. However, Li Yan, who had never suffered a loss, naturally had to pay back several times over. Therefore, Li Yan had blocked all the routes that the other party used to transport goods. Since the other party had cut off one of his routes, he would cut off all of the other partys routes. After negotiating for a few days, the two sides finally had a face-to-face negotiation. In the empty room, there was a long table. Li Yan sat at one end and a blond man sat opposite him. The atmosphere was extremely tense. At this moment, Li Yans phone in his pocket vibrated non-stop. He took out his phone and opened WeChat. What he saw was a bunch of messages. After half a month of no contact between them, that little thing finally took the initiative to contact him, but it came with a purpose. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and heard the blond man opposite him say, Boss Li, why are you so half-hearted? Are you not satisfied with the 20% profit I gave you? Li Yan put down his phone and looked at the other party coldly. 40% interest. Theres no room for negotiation. Either I release the goods and both of us will make a profit, or we keep wasting time. The longer we waste time, the less Ill lose. Situ, I dont have time to beat around the bush with you. Whether the goods arrive on time is a matter of your integrity. Theres a war going on over there. This is a long-term big customer. Situ Zhengs expression changed. His face was so dark that it was scary. However, Li Yan leaned back on the sofa nonchntly and waited for Situ Zheng to nod. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Theckey standing next to him smashed his gun on the table and red at Li Yan. Dont refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Our boss is giving you face by giving you 20% of the profit. If you dont want to take advantage of it, then quit Li Yans lips curled up as he narrowed his cold eyes. A bloodthirsty glint shed in his eyes. In the next second, a short knife was hung on his waist and he threw it at the talkativeckey. With a sh of the knife, the sharp tip of the knife urately pierced through theckeys fingers. Then, a cold voice came out of his thin lips.Who gave you the right to shout in front of me? [Todays update is finally over. Suying is taking anti-allergy medicine and has been feeling sleepy. She cant concentrate. She wrote a chapter for more than two hours. She wrote and deleted it. Forgive me..] Chapter 153 - 153: When Is Li Yan Coming Back? Chapter 153: When Is Li Yan Coming Back? Trantor: 549690339 Theckey reacted and was so scared that his hands were trembling. Just as he was about to say something, Situ Zheng said coldly,Get lost! Im here. Who allowed you to talk? Other people might not know who Li Yan was, but Situ Zheng Imew. In this path, those who could survive were not to be fled with. If Situ Zheng had not been schemed against by his subordinates, he would not have provoked Li Yans business. If he had known that the goods belonged to Li Yan, he would definitely not have touched them! Now, he was forced into a corner by Li Yan. Situ Zheng looked at Li Yan and said, Boss Li, the new underling isnt sensible. Dont be calctive. Its just that interest is indeed too high. I cant earn anything at all. ording to the rules, the maximum profit for business transactions is 30%. Rules? ording to the rules, my goods have already left the port, and people in the same trade cant do anything to them unless pirates have the right to do so. Does Boss Situ want to change his profession to be a pirate? Situ Zheng was choked by Li Yans words. In order not to offend Li Yan, he gritted his teeth and said, Alright, then its a deal. From now on, we dont owe each other anything! Li Yan smiled and pushed the contract in front of Situ Zheng. Of course, I dont want to have another enemy. After the discussion, Li Yan got into the car and took out his phone. Just now, his phone vibrated twice in his pocket. When he opened WeChat again, he did receive a new message. Li Yan narrowed his eyes when he saw the expressions of the bomb and poop on the screen. It seemed that this little thing had forgotten the lesson from that night in half a month! Ouyang, book me the earliest flight back to China, Li Yan said coldly. The man driving the car replied respectfully,Yes, Boss. At this moment, a loud bang exploded behind the car. The car jolted and the tires skidded on the spot. Behind the car was another car. The person in the car was shooting at the car with a pistol. Ouyangs face darkened. Boss, Situ Zheng went back on his word? Qiao Mu waited and waited, but Li Yan did not reply. Finally, she received a call. It was not from Li Yan, but from his assistant, Lei Yi. When Qiao Mu picked up the call, she heard Lei Yis voice. Miss Qiao, Young Master asked me to arrange for you toe to thepany for an internship. Ive already made the arrangements. Miss Qiao cane over at any time. Qiao Mu was stunned, and she asked in confusion, Excuse me, is Li Yan back? Young Master is handling some matters overseas, Lei Yi exined. Something happened and he hasnt returned yet. So that was the case. But no matter how busy he was, he should be able to see her messages, right? Alright, even if he saw it, there was no need to reply to her. I want to go for an internship tomorrow, is that okay? Qiao Mu asked again. Sure, this is my number. Miss Qiao, call me when youe to the office tomorrow. Qiao Mu finally heaved a sigh of relief after resolving a matter on her mind, but she still felt a little upset. Qiao Mu, who had always slept well, had insomnia that night. She did not know if it was because she was too excited about going to work tomorrow or because Li Yans disappearance made her feel ufortable. Then, the next day, Qiao Mu arrived at LSA-Enterprise with two dark circles under her eyes. Lei Yi led Qiao Mu into the elevator, and it was very quiet inside. Qiao Mu looked at Lei Yis expressionless face and could not help but ask, Assistant Lei, UncleUm, when is President Liing back? [Thank you for your tips, girls. I can see all your support, but the prerequisite is that you have to show up.. Oh, rmendation tickets, love mud cute Chapter 154 - 154: Young Master Is Injured Chapter 154: Young Master Is Injured Trantor: 549690339 Lei Yi nced at Qiao Mu indifferently. Im not too sure about Young Masters matters. Young Master was supposed to return today, but something suddenly happened yesterday. Lei Yi paused for a moment, as if he was considering whether to continue. In the end, he still said, Young Master is injured. Are you injured? Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock, and her tone suddenly became urgent. Whats going on? Where are you hurt? Is it serious? Miss Qiao, Young Masters condition wont be reported to a subordinate of mine. As for the details, you can ask him yourself when hees back in the next few days. I can only say that Young Masters life is not in danger. Lei Yi spoke very calmly as if he could not see Ojao Mus anxious and flustered expression at all. There was no danger to his life .. It would have been fine if Lei Yi did not exin, but the scope of his words was too broad. Qiao Mu had no idea how serious his injuries were! His mood suddenly became terrible, and he could not suppress his nervousness. Li Yan was so powerful, so he shouldnt be too seriously injured, right? Thats right! It was definitely nothing serious! Qiao Mu consoled herself in her heart, but her heart was still uneasy. Judging from Lei Yis expression, Li Yans injury was amon urrence. There was nothing to make a fuss about. Qiao Mu had long known that Li Yan was not an ordinary businessman, but it was too unsafe for him to be hunted down so easily and get injured so casually! Qiao Mu took a deep breath. Why should she worry about him? She was not worried! Scourgests for a thousand years, but he wont die anyway! Lei Yi had been observing Qiao Mu the entire time. She had her head lowered and her brows furrowed with a worried expression. Was he being too harsh? He had already said that his life was not in danger. He just wanted to attract her attention. He did not expect her to be frightened. Lei Yi wanted to exin further, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He only said, Miss Qiao, Ill arrange for you to work in the design department. You major in fashion design. Ourpany doesnt have a fashion design department. The design department mainly includes architectural and interior design. Your internship is mainly to umte experience, which will be helpful to you. After exiting the elevator, Qiao Mu followed behind Lei Yi and nodded absentmindedly. Miss Qiao, the design department is just up ahead. Qiao Mu suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked up at Lei Yi. Assistant Lei, can you lend me your phone? Lei Yi turned to look at Qiao Mu, who hurriedly exined, My phone ran out of battery. I just made a call. Lei Yi didnt probe further and passed the phone to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu took her phone and went to a no-mansnd to call Li Yan. Actually, she was worried that Li Yan would ignore her if she called him with her phone! After a few rings, the other party finally picked up the phone. The voice on the other end was a little noisy. A low and cold voice sounded, What is it? Qiao Mu gripped her phone tightly. The familiar voice sounded full of confidence. How did it sound like she was injured? Seemingly not getting a response, the mans voice rang out again, Lei Yi, are you here to waste my time? Hearing the mans cold tone, Qiao Mu hung up the phone without thinking. He could talk and get angry. It seemed like nothing had happened. Qiao Mu returned the phone to Lei Yi. The moment the phone reached Lei Yis hand, it rang. Qiao Mu was shocked. She wanted to stop Lei Yi from picking up, but she was a step toote. Lei Yi had already picked up the call.. Chapter 155 - 155: Only a fool would care about him! Chapter 155: Only a fool would care about him! Trantor: 549690339 When Qiao Mu heard Lei Yi call her Young Master, she immediately waved her hand at him, hinting him not to say that she was the one who called. But Young Master, I lent my phone to Miss Qiao just now, Lei Yi said. The corners of Qiao Mus lips twitched fiercely. Assistant Lei, can we not be so loyal? Then, Lei Yi passed the phone to Qiao Mu. Miss Qiao, Young Master wants you to answer the phone. Qiao Mu felt like she had done something wrong and was caught red-handed. What was the big deal of calling Li Yan secretly and hanging up without a word?! Qiao Mu braced herself and took the phone. Sheughed awkwardly. Uncle, you were looking for me? Arent you the one looking for me? Li Yans voice was still cold and clear. Youre using someone elses phone to call me. Qiao Mu, could it be that you just want to hear my voice to express your longing? Qiao Mu was speechless. Yearning your sister! She did not miss him! Qiao Mu didnt know what to say and could only reply with an En. But then, the man sneered. Youre too slow to react. You havent contacted me for half a month, and you only realize that you miss me now? Qiao Mu bit her lip when she heard his sarcastic words, and her tone instantly turned unpleasant. She said stiffly, 1 came to thepany for an internship today. I called you to thank you, but the signal was bad just now. You didnt seem to be able to hear me, so I had to hang up! No need to thank me. Ive already received themission before I left! Qiao Mu bit her lip hard. Was he referring to the things he did to her that night as payment? Qiao Mu suddenly felt so stifled that she couldnt breathe. She immediately stuffed the phone into Lei Yis hands, not wanting to say another word to Li Yan. She already regretted calling Li Yan. She had wanted to find out more about his injury, but now it seemed that she had worried too much! She must be crazy to worry about him! Watching Qiao Mu walk away, Lei Yi felt like the phone in his hand was a hot potato. How was he supposed to deal with it if Qiao Mu threw it at him? Lei Yi could only raise the phone to his ear and bite the bullet. Young Master, Miss Qiao left her phone and left. In an instant, Lei Yi felt that familiar coldness. Even through the phone, it was still very cold. Li Yans face darkened when he heard the call. She actually dared to hang up on him! His originally irritable mood suddenly became worse. The anger in his heart surged bit by bit. After a few days of not training, this little thing was really getting more and more arrogant! Immediately after, he heard Lei Yis voice. Young Master, Miss Qiao asked me when you wereing back just now. I identally let it slip and let her know that you were injured. In an instant, Li Yan narrowed his eyes. The expression in his ck eyes deepened, and his cold and charming face darkened. Was she worried about him? Li Yan hung uD the Dhone and stood bv the window. The mans tall body stood upright. There were no signs of injuries on his body. Only hisrge hand that was hanging at the side was bandaged. It was only a superficial wound. There was a knock on the door, and Superintendent Ouyang walked in. Boss, the person who tried to assassinate us is already at a loss as to who ordered it. Li Yan did not even turn his head.Book me a ne ticket back to China, he said directly.Youll handle this. Superintendent Ouyang was stunned for a moment. After the attack yesterday, Boss said that he would stay for a few more days to find the mastermind behind the scenes and deal with him personally.. But now that he had already caught the mastermind, this old man didnt care? Chapter 156 - 156: Intern at Li Group Chapter 156: Intern at Li Group Trantor: 549690339 Lei Yi brought Qiao Mu to the design department, and a tall woman in high heels walked over with a smile. Assistant Lei Te, what brings you to our department? Manager Ye, this is an intern who just arrived. Shes going to intern in the design department. Lei Yi handed the information on Qiao Mu to Ye Lin. Qiao Mu smiled and politely said, Hello, Manager Ye. My name is Qiao Mu. Please take care of me. Ye Lin shifted her gaze and sized up Qiao Mu. The corners of her lips curled up. Assistant Reiter is really timely. It just so happens that our department has been quite busy recently, so he arranged interns for us. Lei Yi spoke indifferently, his words hinting at something. Qiao Mu is still a student and will only be interning in thepany for a month. Ill have to trouble Manager Ye to take care of the neer. Ill leave her to you. Ill go and get busy. Li Yan did not say that he had to take special care of Qiao Mu, so Lei Yi did not go too far. After all, in such apetitivepany, beingbeled as a backdoor would incur the jealousy of others. After Lei Yi left, Ye Lin looked at Qiao Mus information and raised her eyelids. Major in fashion design? Qiao Mu, interior design and real estate design arent as simple as fashion design. Since youvee to our department, youd better work hard. I hate people without ability the most. If you cant do a good job, you can leave immediately. Qiao Mu nodded. Dont worry, Manager Ye. Ill work hard. May I ask what I need to do? She hade for an internship because she wanted to umte experience. It was not a bad thing to have a strict boss. Ye Lin pointed to a corner. Thats your desk. Look through the documents on the table and get to know thepany first. Qiao Mu introduced herself to the people in the design departments office before sitting down at her desk. When she saw the documents on the desk, she felt a headacheing on. The female employees gathered together and whispered, Who is this Qiao Mu? A university student who doesnt specialize in the right field. Isnt this forcing trash into our department?! He probably got into thepany because of the higher-ups. What Manager Ye dislikes the most is those employees who have no ability and go through the back door. I wonder how long this university student who doesnt know anything can stay. But Oiao Mu was personally arranged by Assistant Lei Te, and Lei Yi is the CEOs direct subordinate. We cant afford to offend him! Some people wanted to say something, but Ye Lin threw the document on their table. Its working hours. Why are you daydreaming?! Ye Lin nced at Qiao Mu before coldly retracting her gaze. The corners of her lips curled up in disapproval. During lunch break, Qiao Mu got up and stretched her waist, her eyes hurting from reading the documents. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. Qiao Mu turned around, and a female colleague said with a smile, Qiao Mu, ording to the rules, new employees have to treat their department colleagues to a meal to improve mutual understanding. Youll have to pay for lunch today! Qiao Mu realized that the others were all looking at her. There were so many people in the department, and anything they ate would cost more than a thousand yuan. Her wallet could not withstand her torture. She smiled embarrassedly. I really cant do it today. I have something to doter. Theres still a long time. Ill definitely treat you guys to a meal another day! Qiao Mus phone rang and helped her out of the predicament. Her colleagues went to the cafeteria to eat in disappointment.. They were afraid that their new colleagues would be fired before they could treat them to a meal! Chapter 157 - 157: Did Your Man’s Heart Go Wild? Chapter 157: Did Your Mans Heart Go Wild? Trantor: 549690339 The caller was Han Su. Qiao Mu picked up the call and heard Han Su say, Mumu, Ive already gotten the information for the exchange student registration. The registration will start during the holidays. Qiao Mu was delighted. Senior, you have to leave me a copy of the application. Ive already started my internship during the holidays, and I only have time to look for you to fill in the information on the weekends. Where are you doing your internship? Li Corporation. Just in time. Im nearby now. It should be your lunch break now. Come out and have a meal. Good! In the dining room. Qiao Mu filled out the information and handed it to Han Su. Senior, do you think I can pass the application? Han Su looked at the application form and smiled.l dont think its possible with your conditions, but with my help, the chances are 90%. Senior, if this matter ispleted, I will definitely thank you properly! Han Su looked at Qiao Mu with a smile.Even if it doesnt work out, shouldnt you treat me to a meal to express your gratitude? Another treat Qiao Mu looked troubled and chuckled. Senior, its not that Im insincere, but my wallet cant withstand the test. Ill definitely treat you to a meal when I get paid! Girl, youre so poor. Qiao Mus internship did not go as smoothly as she had expected. In the afternoon, she was still reading her documents when Ye Lin called out to her. Qiao Mu, you spend your working hours reading documents. Do you think this is school? Could it be that thepany is paying you to study? Qiao Mu stood up and looked at Ye Lin, asking politely, Manager, what do I need to do? You didnt arrange any other work for me. Work needs to be arranged? Dont you know how to ask your colleagues? The others are all so busy. If they have endless work on their hands, you can help them solve it. As soon as Ye Lin finished speaking, someone passed a pile of documents to Qiao Mu. New colleague, help me make two copies of these documents. Qiao Mu nodded and went to do it. After a while, another pile of documents was ced on the table beside Qiao Mu, and a soft voice sounded, Manager Ye asked you to make copies of these. You need them for tomorrows meeting. Manager Ye said that you have to finish making copies today. The other party paused and then said, Thats how neers go. Its your first day at work, and youre an intern. You need to get used to it slowly. Qiao Mu was originally buried in her work, but when she heard this, she raised her head to look at the other party. It was a delicate and pretty youngdy who looked to be only a few years older than her. She should have just graduated not long ago. The other party saw Qiao Mu staring at her and smiled. Im Tang Jiajia, your colleague. Qiao Mu smiled back. Thank you. Its fine. Leave this to me. So be it. Just treat it as umting experience for self-reliance after graduation. Qiao Mu finally managed to finish her chores before she got off work. After returning to the dormitory and having a simple cup of instant noodles, Qiao Mu remembered that Chi Xia had not contacted her after he went to United States. He had not called her after he arrived! Qiao Mu dialed the number, but no one picked up for a long time. Was he sleeping? Qiao Mu called again. Just as she was about to give up, the other party picked up. Qiao Mu instantly heaved a sigh of relief and grumbled, Chi Xia, youve grown up. You didnt even tell me that youre safe when you arrived. Did your heart go wild when you saw your man? After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she didnt show off her affection as she had expected, and the other end of the phone fell silent.. Chapter 158 - 158: An Unguarded Meeting Chapter 158: An Unguarded Meeting Trantor: 549690339 Xiaxia? Qiao Mu called out, feeling that something was amiss. Oh, Im fine. My phone ran out of battery and I forgot to call you. Im already here. Dont worry. Chi Xias voice was very soft. There was not a trace of joy from seeing her lover. Why do I feel like youre very listless? Qiao Mu frowned slightly. Did you see Gu Cheng? No, after I got off the ne, I found a hotel to stay in for the night. I have to rest well before I go see him, right? Alright, I wont talk to you anymore. I have to pack up and get ready to go out. After Chi Xia finished speaking, she said goodbye and hung up the phone. Qiao Mu did not think too much about it. She thought that Chi Xia was in a hurry to meet Gu Cheng, so it was normal for her to hang up on her impatiently. She was relieved to know that Chi Xia had arrived safely. The next day, Qiao Mu slept until eight oclock. Shezily woke up and turned over, intending to continue sleeping. However, she suddenly thought of something and abruptly sat up. Oh no! Were going to bete! Qiao Mu hurriedly washed up and rushed out of the dormitory. Beingte for work on the second day was really digging her own grave. She could totally imagine how Ye Lin would educate her. When Qiao Mu exited the subway, it was already 8:40 pm. She was destined to bete today. Qiao Mu rushed to thepany and waited for the elevator. She was thinking about how to deal with Ye Linter and hoped that her superior would not be too harsh on her. There was amotion in the hall behind her, but Qiao Mu was in no mood to pay attention to it. She anxiously stomped her feet, hoping that the elevator would descend quickly. Qiao Mu felt the two people chatting at the side suddenly quieten down, and then she heard a voice. Good morning, President. President? Qiao Mu was stunned. She subconsciously turned around and happened to face the man behind her. Qiao Mus mouth was agape in an exaggerated manner as she looked at the other party in astonishment. He, he, heWhy was he here? He actually returned to the country! Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu, who was so shocked that her mouth could fit an egg. When she saw him, she looked surprised but not happy. Qiao Mu immediately lowered her head and whispered, Hello, President. When did hee back? Yesterday, Lei Yi had told him toe back in a few days. The elevator beside her opened, and the man in front of her stepped into the elevator. Qiao Mu followed closely behind and entered the elevator with her head lowered. Then, Qiao Mu realized that the people waiting for the elevator outside were all standing still and looking at her with surprise. Qiao Mu immediately felt that something was wrong. This elevator didnt seem to be the staff elevator! Just as Qiao Mu was about to step out of the elevator, Lei Yi, who was standing at the elevator entrance, silently pressed the button for the floor, and the elevator closed. Qiao Mu felt a headacheing on. She had openly taken the CEOs private elevator and so many pairs of eyes were staring at her. Wasnt she courting death? Qiao Mu grabbed Lei Yis arm that was pressing the elevator button and said, Assistant Lei, wait a moment. Ill go down first. Before Lei Yi could say anything, he felt a cold light sweep over. The arm that Qiao Mu was grabbing felt a chill, and Lei Yi immediately took a step back, putting some distance between himself and Qiao Mu. Lei Yi reminded her, Miss Qiao, the elevator has already gone up. Qiao Mu stood silently at the side with her back facing Li Yan. The reflective walls of the elevator allowed her to see Li Yans expression clearly. The man stood there coldly, his thin lips slightly pursed. From the side, the lines of his handsome face were clear and deep. They hadnt seen each other for more than half a month, but the moment they met, he put on an aloof expression as if she owed him money! Uh . She did owe him money! Chapter 159 - 159: Eat More Chicken Feet Chapter 159: Eat More Chicken Feet Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus gazended on Li Yans hand, and only then did she realize that his hand was bandaged. It turned out that Lei Yi was telling the truth when he said that he was injured. Qiao Mu raised her head and looked at Li Yan. The man seemed to have sensed her gaze, so he tilted his head slightly and finally looked her in the eye. Qiao Mu pointed at that hand and asked softly, Uncle, are you seriously injured? Li Yans expression had been extremely cold ever since he entered the elevator. Qiao Mu stood there silently with the back of her head facing him,pletely ignoring him. He wished he could push this little thing to a corner and teach her a lesson. Li Yans expression darkened when he saw that the elevator door was about to open. At this moment, Qiao Mu spoke. Her low voice sounded like she was trying to test him out. It seemed like she was being careful, which made Li Yans expression turn better. It was only then that Li Yan realized that his cold treatment had caused her to feel conflicted, making her not want to get close to him. This little thing was concerned about him when she found out that he was injured. She was not heartless. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she only received an apathetic gaze in response. Just as she was under immense pressure from being stared at, she suddenly heard the man say only two words, lts serious. Qiao Mu was stunned. She furrowed her brows and subconsciously grabbed his hand. Let me see whats going on. Li Yan felt a sudden warmth on his hand. He lowered his head and saw the little thing holding his hand. Her movements were very gentle as she sized it up carefully. An indescribable emotion spread in his heart, slowly eliminating the coldness that had umted in Duo Ri. Are you a medical student? Li Yan nced at her. Can you understand whats going on? Qiao Mu smiled awkwardly and let go of his hand. What did the doctor say? Take care of it and nourish it more. Li Yans attitude was still cold and aloof, but his tone was a little softer. The corner of Lei Yis mouth twitched. More nourishment? Did this sound like something Young Master Li would say? Such a small injury was amon urrence for Young Master Li, and he had the cheek to say it was serious. However, Qiao Mu took Li Yans words to heart. When the elevator door opened, Qiao Mu remembered that she waste and immediately rushed out of the elevator. She took two steps and turned back to look at Li Yan. Little Uncle, use your body to make up for your injury. Your hand is injured, so eat more chicken feet. Li Yan was speechless. When he looked up and saw Lei Yis amused expression, his eyes turned cold. Whats wrong? Do you have something to say? Young Master, I just think that if you really want to make your injury look more serious, you can put on a cast or something. Li Yans face darkened. He looked down at his bandaged hand and raised his eyebrows coldly. Do you think Im exaggerating? If the wound gets infected, my hand might be crippled, and you still have the mood to gloat! Lei Yi was speechless. Lei Yi had been by Li Yans side for many years. Only now did he realize that Young Master Li also had a tsundere side! .. Qiao Mu bumped into Ye Lin the moment she entered the design department. Ye Lins eyes were filled with anger. Qiao Mu, what time is it now? Why are you onlying to work now? Half a day is almost over. Why didnt youe back in the afternoon? Manager Ye, Im sorry. There wont be a next time. Qiao Mu lowered her head and apologized. Do you think that were in school? Yourete for ss, so you can just deal with it casually? If theres a next time, you dont have toe again! Ye Lin threw the documents in her hands onto the table. Arrange these. We need them for the meetingter! Ye Lin turned around to leave, but she suddenly thought of something and nced at Qiao Mu.. Go make me a cup of coffee and send it to the meeting room! Chapter 160 - 160: Someone Dared To Order His Little Thing Around Chapter 160: Someone Dared To Order His Little Thing Around Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks. Ye Lin had an assistant, but she didnt use it, yet she had to order her to do such a thing. Clearly, she was deliberately making things difficult for her! Since she had just entered the workce, Qiao Mu had an attitude of enduring as much as she could. When Li Yan passed by the entrance of the design department, he identally saw Qiao Mu being lectured with her head lowered. Then, he heard someone asking her to make coffee! He stopped in his tracks and took a few more nces at the design department. Someone dared to order his little thing around? Ye Lin suddenly saw Li Yan standing outside and immediately suppressed her anger. She walked over quickly in her high heels and said respectfully, Good morning, President. Li Yans dark eyes swept across Ye Lin coldly. Half a day has passed. Its gettingte. Ye Lin looked a little embarrassed. President, I was disciplining the intern who just arrived. Im sorry for making a fool of myself. Lei Yi followed behind him and smiled faintly. Manager Ye, youre already so angry early in the morning. You should drink more chrysanthemum tea to cool down. Thank you for your concern, Special Assistant Lei. The intern you sent over yesterday is not very worry-free. Ourpany has strict regtions, so its only right for me to go up and take care of her. As Yeh Lin spoke, he nced at Li Yan. She had intentionally mentioned that Lei Yi had sent the interns over. If Qiao Mu had relied on Lei Yi to get in through the back door, then the CEO would not just ignore it! Hearing this, Li Yan curled his lips coldly and spat out words that were devoid of any warmth, lf you cant even take care of a neer, then you dont have to be the department manager anymore. I dont hire employees who only know how to be arrogant and throw tantrums! Ye Lin looked at Li Yan in shock. Li Yan had already left. Ye Lin clenched her fists tightly. Ever since she entered thepany, she had always performed well and had climbed to her current position step by step. She had always received praise, but because of Qiao Mu, she was reprimanded by the CEO! Qiao Mu looked in the direction Li Yan left and was slightly stunned. Was he helping her? Ye Lin red at Qiao Mu, suppressed her anger, and coldly said, What are you looking at? Go to work! In the meeting room, Ye Lin wasmanding in front of the screen. Thepany has just developed this area in the northern suburbs. Thepany ces a lot of importance on this project. All thepanies under the LSAG Group wille up with a n for theyout of thisnd. We have to get the design rights. In the next month, we will focus on this matter Qiao Mu flipped through the information. This piece ofnd was the one that Qiao Ya had said she wanted to obtain with all her effort, but it was eventually taken by Li Yan. Suddenly, two stacks of documents were thrown in front of him, and Ye Lins voice sounded above his head. Qiao Mu, these two are confidential documents. Destroy one and input the other into theputer. Send the electronic version to my email. After a pause, Ye Lin emphasized, Dont get it wrong. These files arent backed (Liao Mu picked up the red folder and confirmed again. Manager, do you need an electronic copy of this document? Yes, I have to get it done today! Ye Lin said coldly, a trace of coldness shing in her eyes. Qiao Mu was busy typing the entire morning. During lunch break, Tang Jiajia walked over. Qiao Mu, go eat. You can work when youre back. Qiao Mu shook her head. You go first. Im not hungry yet. Ill go eat after I finish typing this page of documents. Ye Lin nced at Qiao Mu and sneered. This kind of ipetent person was only fit to do work without any technical content! At the same time, in Li Yans office. Lei Yi sent lunch to Li Yans office and reported, Young Master, Miss Qiao is still busy. She hasnt had lunch yet. Li Yan looked up and nced at the lunch beside him. He said calmly, Prepare another serving and send it over. Dont add chili. [Todays update is over Chapter 161 - 161: The Boss Deliberately Made Things Difficult Chapter 161: The Boss Deliberately Made Things Difficult Trantor: 549690339 While Qiao Mu was still typing non-stop in front of herputer, Tang Jiajia ced a bag on her desk. Qiao Mu, this is the takeout you ordered. I happened to bump into the delivery man on my way back, so I helped you sign for it. Qiao Mu was stunned, and her expression was a little puzzled. At this moment, the other colleagues returned and gathered around her. Hey, Xiao Qiao, you ordered so much food. Can you finish it all by yourself? This is a takeout bag from First-grade Restaurant. Xiao Qiao, youre too extravagant. Youre so rich, why arent you treating our colleagues to a meal? Ye Lin came back and interrupted them with a dark expression. If you guys are fine, hurry up and think of a n. If you want to chat, wait until you get the project! Her colleagues dispersed at once, and Qiao Mu entered the pantry with the takeout. There were two dishes and one soup. The meat was indeed very rich. Initially, Qiao Mu thought that she had delivered the wrong meal, but when she saw that there wasnt a single chili in the lunchbox, she knew who had delivered it. Although Li Yan already knew that she could eat spicy food, he still maintained the habit of not adding spicy food every time they ate together. There was once when they were having a meal at the Li familys house, she had even protested to him. In the end, he had said unreasonably that eating spicy food was not good for the body and that it was good not to eat chili. Since his taste had changed, he would change back. At that time, she thought unhappily that she was no longer the person she used to be. Why did she still treat her with her old habits? Qiao Mus stomach grumbled as she looked at the sumptuous dishes, but her heart felt as if it had been filled with warmth. He took out his phone and sent Li Yan a message. Uncle, thank you. Qiao Mu was about to start eating when Ye Lins voice sounded from behind her. Qiao Mu, what time is it now? Are you still eating? Didnt you see that the other colleagues have all returned from dinner to prepare for work? Didnt I say that its a busy time now? Why are you still so rxed? The moment Ye Lin came up, she gave Qiao Mu a scolding. A trace of coldness shed across Qiao Mus eyes. Ye Lin had made things difficult for her time and time again, yet she really treated her like a rabbit to be bullied? She had made a mistake and it was only right to teach her a lesson. She had no reason to refute, but Ye Lin insisted on finding trouble for no reason. She could not tolerate it! Qiao Mu smiled faintly as she looked at Ye Lin. Manager Ye, its lunch break now. Whichpany rule forbids employees from using their lunch break freely? I just finished my work. Cant I even take the time to eat now? I made the rules! Youre my employee, so you have to listen to me! If everyone disobeys orders like you, how can I manage such a big department? Then, Manager Ye, do you need to call your colleagues who havent returned yet toe back to work? Does Manager Ye still have to pay us overtime pay out of his own pocket? You! Qiao Mu curled her lips and smiled innocently. Manager Ye, Ill do my job well, but you have to let me fill my stomach first, right? Ye Lin gritted her teeth. Do your job well, and I wont find fault with you! Qiao Mu watched as Ye Lin walked out of the pantry in exasperation, but it didnt affect her appetite in the slightest. Next, Ill answer the girls questions. Q: Can you add more? Its so hard to catch up every day. Suying: The website has a rule that only four chapters can be updated per day. Most of the other free novels have this amount of updates. Im really tired of chasing after them. Ill fatten them up before reading them Of course, I wee you toe and urge me to update every day. Who knows, you might add more chapters without any warning? [Q: When will the misunderstanding be resolved? Its tiring to watch the male and female leads struggle like this.] What happened to the favorite novel? Suying: This is a love story. Does it have to be intimate with each other every day? The misunderstanding was only temporary. He had to follow the plot a little bit before he could open his heart, right? Dont worry, it wont take too long. Tell me, which story doesnt have any misunderstandings? From the beginning to the end, theres no misunderstanding at all. Dont you feel tired of watching it? Keep watching patiently. The rest will be exciting. All kinds ofments are wee.. Love Ni Meng Chapter 162 - 162: Qjao Mu Was Schemed Against Chapter 162: Qjao Mu Was Schemed Against Trantor: 549690339 After Qiao Mu finished her meal, she was about to continue working when Li Yan replied with a text. Move your fingers and type a few words. I dont ept such insincere thanks. Qiao Mu was speechless. She sent him a thank-you message to tell him that she had received the takeout. She did not expect him to reply to her message. After reading the text message for quite a while, Qiao Mu put down the work at hand, got up, and walked out. There was less than an hour left before the lunch break ended. Qiao Mu arrived at a nearby supermarket and hurriedly ran to the fresh meat section to buy a bunchChicken feet. Qiao Mu weighed it and was about to leave when she saw the pig trotters on sale. She hesitated for a moment before buying another one. Using the shape to make up for the shape, the pig trotters were also considered pig hands, right? Although Li Yan was quite overboard with her sometimes, she would let him off for the time being on ount of his injuries. She had no right to be calctive. Even if she did not want to admit it, her three years had indeed belonged to Li Yan. She was not someone who would not admit it after taking money. Qiao Mu rushed back to thepany and ced the things she bought into the refrigerator in the pantry before continuing her work. When it was almost time to get off work, he finally finished his work and sent the electronic version of the information to Ye Lins email. He got up and stretched his bodyfortably. Suddenly, the door to the managers office was pushed open, followed by Ye Lins shout,Qiao Mu, what are you doing? You sent me the electronic version of the document that I asked you to destroy. Are you ying with me? Qiao Mu furrowed her brows. Manager Ye, Ive sent the information you requested to your email as per your instructions. Are you saying that my eyesight is bad? The information I received was clearly useless. Dont tell me that youve been sorting out these trash all day! Ye Lins face was livid, and a hint of scheming shed in her eyes. Qiao Mu suddenly had a bad feeling. You were the one who told me that the information in the red folder needed to be in electronic form Before she could finish speaking, Ye Lin angrily interrupted her. Qiao Mu, youre still trying to quibble! What I told you was that the information in the red folder is scattered, and the blue folder is what I need. Didnt I remind you that these documents are not backed up and are very important? How can you make such a low-level mistake! Qiao Mus expression instantly turned cold. In order to prevent making a mistake, she had even confirmed it with Ye Lin, but now, Ye Lin had directly reversed the truth! Ye Lin sneered. You have nothing to say? Even a primary school student wouldnt make such a low-level mistake. The design proposal that our departmentpeted for this time relied on this information. What do you think we should do? Qiao Mus face was cold as she looked straight at Ye Lin. Manager, since this matter is so important, we should investigate whos right and whos wrong. What do you mean? If its not your fault, how can it be my fault? Do you think Im stupid enough to ask you to destroy important documents? Qiao Mu did not give in at all. Who knows, Manager Ye might identally say the opposite? There are surveince cameras in the meeting room. Wouldnt we know who made the mistake if we pull out the surveince cameras? Ye Lins expression changed drastically. She did not expect that Qiao Mu, a seemingly innocent and unsophisticated college student, would actually retort her so calmly! Her colleague could not help but interrupt. Whats the point of investigating? Whats the point of wasting time on this kind of thing? Qiao Mu, dont shirk your responsibility! Thats right! How could Manager Ye make such a low-level mistake? Qiao Mu, hurry up and admit your mistake. Her colleagues kept talking to each other. Suddenly, Tang Jiajia whispered, Even if we check the surveince cameras, we can only see the images but not hear the sounds. We cant find anything. [Unable to continue the content of the previous chapter. Please delete the bookshelf and add it again..] Chapter 163 - 163: It’s an Honor to Meet the President Chapter 163: Its an Honor to Meet the President Trantor: 549690339 Upon hearing this, the sneer on Ye Lins lips deepened. I think Qiao Mu knows that the surveince cameras are useless, so shes finding such an excuse to absolve herself, right? She was just a little girl who hadnt even left school yet. Lets see if she could cure her! Qiao Mu looked at the expression in Ye Lins eyes and finally understood that this person was doing this on purpose. He had wanted to scheme against her from the very beginning! Qiao Mu would never allow others to bully her. In the Qiao family, she was bullied by Qiao Ya for the sake of the Qiao familys peace and for her own survival in the Qiao family, so she had no choice but to endure it. However, who was Ye Lin? At a time like this, she would not swallow her bitterness and endure her grievances just because the other party was suppressing her! Qiao Mus eyes were filled with endless coldness as she turned to Tang Jiajia. Jiajia, youre right. Theres no sound in the surveince camera, but you can see the shape of your mouth through the surveince camera. Wouldnt you know what you said with just one look? Qiao Mu was so determined to look at the surveince footage that the others were all puzzled and unsure of what was going on. Ye Lin looked at Qiao Mu in disdain. The backup of ourpanys surveince cameras is kept in the headquarters. Are you going to let everyone in thepany know that our design department is useless because of your dereliction of duty? If other departments find out about this kind of low-level mistake, you wont feel embarrassed, but I wont! Then what does Manager Ye want to do? You have to be punished for your mistakes. Ill tell you the truth in your internship report! Qiao Mu clenched her fists. The internship report was a condition for her to apply for an exchange student. If she were to write down such a low-level mistake, her work experience would be tarnished! Qiao Mu looked at Ye Lin coldly. Manager Ye, I didnt admit that I made a mistake. Dont be in such a hurry to add more charges to me! Dont tell me youre feeling guilty and dont dare to check the surveince cameras? You Ye Lin was about to say something when a cold voice interrupted her from the door. Its really lively here. Looks like the design department is too free. Did thepany pay you guys toe here and chat? A voice attracted everyones attention. Qiao Mu looked over in a daze. Li Yan was standing at the door. His tall and sturdy body was stiff, and his cold gaze swept past her indifferently before quickly sweeping past her. Immediately after, Li Yans thin lips moved. Who can tell me whats going on? Ye Lin felt that Li Yans gaze on her was extremely cold. Although Li Yan usually acted high and mighty in thepany and kept people away, he was rarely so scary at this moment. Ye Lin paused for a few seconds before she smiled and said,President, the new intern made a mistake. Im disciplining her. Im sorry to disturb you. Oh? What mistake? Li Yan dragged an office chair to his side and sat down leisurely. He had no intention of leaving at all. This action stunned everyone present. How could the CEO care so much about such a small matter in the design department? Ye Lin was delighted. Li Yans performance clearly showed that he valued the design department! However, before Ye Lin could say anything, Qiao Mu quickly walked up to Li Yan and grabbed his uninjured hand. She shook his hand and said, Hello, CEO. Im a new intern. Its my honor to meet you in person. Qiao Mus actions made everyones jaws drop. In thepany, no one dared to take the initiative to approach Li Yan, but she actually went up to him and shook his hand, even greeting him in all seriousness! Ye Lin was so angry that her eyes widened. Soon, she began to gloat.. Chapter 164 - 164: The CEO Appears, (Mao Mu Is Dead! Chapter 164: The CEO Appears, (Mao Mu Is Dead! Trantor: 549690339 This Qiao Mu was really not reserved. Did she think that she could make the CEO take a second look at her with her looks? What a dream! It seemed like Qiao Mus internship days in thepany wereing to an end. Li Yans eyes shed. He did not expect this little thing to pounce on him and touch him in front of so many people. She held his hand passionately, her face full of smiles. That fawning expression was really a vivid representation of an employee trying to please his boss. Li Yan raised his eyebrows, and his coquettish eyesnded on Qiao Mu. He asked cooperatively, Name? Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he finally responded. She let go of his hand and answered seriously, Qiao Mu. When did thepanys standards for hiring employees be so low? If every employee saw me shaking hands with me like you, then my hand would be like this hand Li Yan raised his bandaged hand and slowly said, Cripple. Qiao Mu was speechless. Wasnt it just a shake of her hand? Did he have to be so disgusted? It was fine if he was mean to her in private, but he did not give her any face in front of so many people! A hint of joy shed across Ye Lins eyes. This Qiao Mu was dead meat! Li Yan raised his eyelids. Whats the matter? Dont tell me that you just want me to remember your name. Qiao Mu lowered her head and said sincerely, President, please uphold justice for me and Manager Ye in a fair and just manner. Qiao Mu nced at Ye Lin and continued, ln the meeting room this morning, Manager Ye arranged work for me. However, after I finished it, Manager Ye said that I was wrong, so I wanted to check the cameras in the meeting room to confirm who was wrong. If I was wrong, Im willing to take responsibility. I didnt do anything wrong. I hope Manager Ye can apologize to me. Ye Lins expression changed. Qiao Mu, are you joking? Lets not talk about whether its your fault or not, but youre really rude to trouble the CEO for such a small matter! Ye Lin smiled and looked at Li Yan. President, dont take her words seriously. Ill take care of the design department! Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes. The CEO hasnt said anything yet. Why is Manager Ye so agitated? Li Yan watched as the little thing revealed her fox nature. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He took out his phone and dialed Lei Yis number. Get someone to send the surveince video of the design department today to the design department. Ye Lin widened her eyes in shock. The situation had changed all of a sudden! At this moment, a colleague came up to Ye Lin and whispered, Manager Ye, the CEO values our department so much. Qiao Mu is in trouble now. Shes digging her own grave! Yeh Lins face tensed up. Who was the one who dug his own grave? Soon, the security guard sent the surveince footage over. The surveince camera could only capture Qiao Mus mouth as she spoke. Ye Lins back was facing the camera. From the way Qiao Mu mouthed her words, it could be seen that Qiao Mu was asking Ye Lin if the red document needed an electronic version. Although she did not know what Ye Lins answer was, she could vaguely tell that Ye Lin nodded. Qiao Mu looked at Ye Lin. Just a moment ago, she was still so determined to push the me onto her, but now, she was finally deted. Ye Lin felt her face burning hot. She had never been so embarrassed before. She endured the awkwardness and smiled in embarrassment. Qiao Mu, I misunderstood you. Recently, Ive been staying upte all day because of the design proposal in my hands, so my memory isnt very focused. Dont be angry. At the same time, he admitted his mistake and made himself sound so professional. [Todays update is over N ] Chapter 165 - 165: Did I Allow You to Touch Me? Chapter 165: Did I Allow You to Touch Me? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Its good that things are clear. I dont mean to me Manager Ye, but Im an intern after all. Leaving a record of my mistakes will have a huge impact on my future work. Qiao Mus humble attitude made the other colleagues have a good impression of her. Although she was an inexperienced university student, she was still a good person. Ye Lin suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled back. Then, she looked at Li Yan apologetically. President, its my fault for wasting your time on such a small matter. Li Yan stood up and tidied his clothes elegantly. He did not even look at Ye Lin. This matter is not a small one. It seems that the workload of the design department is too heavy, causing Manager Ye to be overworked and even have a poor memory. In that case, you dont have to be responsible for the design n for the development of thend in the north of the city. Ye Lin could not believe her ears. Her eyes widened. She was determined to win this project, but Li Yan had disqualified her from participating with just one sentence! Li Yan turned around and walked out. Ye Lin did not give up and went forward. She was a little agitated and grabbed Li Yans hand. Just a while ago, Li Yan had expressed that he did not like to be shaken by others. Now, Ye Lin had offended the heavens again. The others thought that Ye Lin would also be mocked by Li Yan, but they realized that they were too naive. The moment Ye Lin came into contact with Li Yan, he felt a chill around him. He swung his arm and threw Ye Lin away. Immediately after, a cold voice sounded, Did I allow you to touch me? Ye Lins face instantly turned pale! They both went to shake Li Yans hand, but their attitude toward Qiao Mu waspletely different from how they treated Ye Lin! Qiao Mu was stunned as well. Indeed, there were times when one had topare themselves with others to feel bnced. When she saw Li Yans attitude toward Ye Lin, Qiao Mu felt that when she shook Li Yans hand, he was only mocking her a little. He was simply too gentle! President, I was wrong. Please give me a chance Although Ye Lins expression was extremely ugly, she could not help but plead. If something as boring as today happens again in the future, I wont just take away one of your projects! Li Yan walked to the door with steady steps. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and turned around to nce at the group of people who were standing still. Its time to get off work. Why are you still standing there? Qiao Mu knew that these words were directed at her. When Qiao Mu walked out of thepany, she saw Li Yans car parked at the side. She stared at the car for a while. Li Yan was clearly in the car, but the car had no intention of leaving. Qiao Mu walked over and obediently got into the car after seeing that there was no one around. The car door closed and the car started. Li Yans voice sounded beside her. Getting into my car and still sneaking around? Is it very shameful? I just dont want to trouble Uncle, Qiao Mu subconsciously exined. Li Yans eyes darkened. She was the one who did not want to get into trouble! This woman had been neglected for half a month, but she had not improved at all! Qiao Mus gaze fell on the injured hand. She suddenly thought of something and asked Li Yan, Uncle, can we go back to thepany? I left something at thepany! Li Yan nced at her indifferently and told the chauffeur to turn back. Qiao Mu returned to the design departments pantry and hurriedly returned to the car with the things she bought in the afternoon. Qiao Mu ced the bag by her feet. Li Yan nced at it and asked, What is it? I prepared it for you. [A new day, rmended votes Active! ] Chapter 166 - 166: If I Die, My Debts Will Be Solved Chapter 166: If I Die, My Debts Will Be Solved Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan couldnt help but take a few more nces at her. This was the first time this little thing had given him something. Could it be that she had prepared a gift for him? However, looking at the ordinary stic bag, there must not be anything good inside. At this moment, Qiao Mu answered Li Yans question. Didnt the doctor ask you to take more supplements? I specially bought chicken feet and pig trotters for uncle! Li Yan was speechless. Alright, he was indeed thinking too much. In the elevator in the morning, she said that she wanted to make up for it with the shape, and she really bought these things. At the thought of this, Li Yans eyes darkened slightly. This little thing still had some conscience. She even knew how to care about him. After returning to the Li familys residence, Qiao Mu carried the shopping bags to the kitchen. As she walked, she said, Uncle, wait a moment. Ill be done soon. Thinking of the steak she madest time, Li Yan went forward to stop her and handed the bag in her hand to the butler. Let the kitchen cook it. The chef knows how to preserve the nutrients. Qiao Mu thought about it and nodded. She lowered her head and saw that his hand was holding hers. She subconsciously broke free from him. Uncle, I thought you didnt like to let others shake hands? Li Yan held her hand again and led her to the sofa. At the same time, he said calmly,lts time to get off work now. Why? Have you forgotten your identity after not seeing you for a few days? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. How could she dare to forget! ncing at his bandaged hand, Qiao Mu could not help but ask, Uncle, how did you injure your hand? I was stabbed. Li Yan casually replied, but after he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Mus terrified expression. She was staring at his hand, and her voice was trembling as she spoke. Uncle, is your hand a knife wound? Did he bleed a lot? This is not enough! The back of his hand was so thin, the knife must have pierced through it! Just thinking about it made Qiao Mu tremble with fear. Li Yan realized that he was being a little too serious, so he changed his words and said,lts just a cut on the back of my hand. It was bandaged in time, so I didnt lose too much blood. Qiao Mu instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Li Yan narrowed his eyes at her nervous expression, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. Qiao Mu, what are you nervous about? Li Yan asked after a while. If I die, your debt will be paid off automatically. Qiao Mus eyes lit up a little when she heard that the debt would be automatically cleared. She could be instantly destroyed. She didnt have such a big grudge against him, right? It was not enough to curse him to death! Qiao Mu raised her head to re at him and said very seriously, Uncle, you cant die. If you die and I get bullied, who will help me? Li Yans charming eyes raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Youre not stupid. Qiao Mu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw him staring at her, she immediately stood up. Uncle, Ill go to the kitchen to see how the food is There were pork trotters and chicken feet for dinner. They had agreed to nourish Li Yans body, but after the meal, Qiao Mu was left with a pile of chicken feet and bones. Seeing that Li Yan wasnt eating, Qiao Mu handed the chicken feet to him. Uncle, eat it. I bought this especially for you. Li Yan nced at the pile of chicken feet and bones. Are you sure you bought this for me? Qiao Mu smiled embarrassedly. Theres a lot anyway. Its enough for us to eat together. Li Yan was not interested in chicken feet at all. He could not eat meat, so he only ate the bones, so he did not eat them at all. However, it was at least the little things good intentions. Li Yan ate a piece of pork trotter, but he only bought one pork trotter in total. Li Yan realized that Qiao Mus gaze was darting toward the pork trotter as she nibbled on the chicken feet.. Chapter 167 - 167: This Girl Is Hiding From Him Chapter 167: This Girl Is Hiding From Him Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu didnt want to fight with Li Yan for food. After all, he was injured. She reminded him as she gnawed on the chicken feet, Uncle, eat more pork trotters. Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu indifferently and put some vegetables into his mouth helplessly. The doctor said that I want to eat something light. The pork trotters are too greasy, so you dont have to prepare these for me in the future. Qiao Mus eyes lit up, and she said regretfully, Uncle, why didnt you say so earlier? Its a waste if you dont eat it. Ill take care of it! Then, Qiao Mu unceremoniously swallowed all the tonics that she had prepared for Li Yan. Li Yan lowered his head and looked at his bandaged hand. It seemed that his wound was not in vain. Late at night, it was time for the two of them to be alone again. After more than half a month of freedom, Li Yan returned, so Qiao Mu could only stay at the Li residence. Qiao Mu hid in the bathroom to take a shower. She applied the shower gel once, and after she was clean, she wiped it again. This process repeated many times, so she simply filled the bathtub with hot water and took a bath again. Qiao Mu dilly-dallied and refused to go out, but the people outside could no longer wait. Li Yan was on the phone on the balcony, trying to understand the news from overseas. After he was done, he hung up the phone and returned to the bedroom. However, the little thing did note out after entering the bathroom. Li Yan looked at the tightly shut bathroom door and frowned slightly. Presumably, this girl was avoiding him. Li Yan felt a little frustrated. The night before the business trip, the little one cried and shouted at him, scolding him and begging him. However, he lost control at that time and caused her harm. The next morning, he checked her private part. It was so red and swollen that it was almost bloodshot. One could imagine how painful it was. He could have waited for her to wake up before setting off, but he did not want to face her, so he left without saying a word. In the past half a month, Li Yan had wanted to call her countless times. However, every time he opened his contact list, he would put his phone down. He had been waiting for her to take the initiative to contact him, but when she did, he did not know how to treat her. Actually, he didnt want to be sarcastic to her, but he was worried that after doing such an outrageous thing to her, she would have even less of a good impression of him. He could only use that attitude to hide his emotions. Li Yan knew very well that Qiao Mu had never been willing to be with him. In the beginning, she was threatened by him and had no choice but to curry favor with him. Now that she was in debt, being with him became her mission. Clenching his fists tightly, Li Yan stood outside the bathroom door for a while before knocking on the door. There was a knock on the door, and Qiao Mu tensed up immediately. Then, Li Yans voice came from outside. You took this shower for more than an hour. Were you cultivating in there? Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu coughed lightly and said in a low voice, Uncle, Im taking a bath. Wait a moment. If you donte out, Im going in. Youve been in there for so long. Arent you afraid ofcking oxygen? Ill be right there, Ill be right there! Qiao Mu knew that she couldnt drag this out any longer, so she stood up from the bathtub and prepared to send her cleansed body into the beastly beasts mouth. Perhaps it was because she had been soaking in the bathtub for too long, but after standing up, she felt dizzy. Her legs went weak as she stepped out of the bathtub, and she fell to the ground. Hiss Qiao Mu only felt a pain in her leg, and she couldnt help but let out a low groan as she sucked in a sharp breath. There was a soft carpet outside the bathtub, so she wouldnt feel any pain if she fell on it. However, Qiao Mu, who was already dizzy from the bath, had ack of agility in her legs. Her leg that hadnt stepped out of the bathtub slipped, and her knee heavily hit the bathtub wall.. Chapter 168 - 168: You I re Really Stupid Chapter 168: You I re Really Stupid Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan was standing outside the door when he heard a faint thud and Qiao Mus low cry. He frowned and knocked on the door. Qiao Mu, whats wrong? Qiao Mu grimaced in pain. She sat on the carpet and rubbed her knees to relieve the pain. When she heard Li Yans voice, she quickly said,lm fine. I just fell Before she could finish, the bathroom door was pushed open. Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock. She lowered her head and saw her naked body. Ignoring the pain, she grabbed the bathrobe at the side and put it on as quickly as she could. Qiao Mus face waspletely red, and herrge eyes stared straight at the man who was approaching her. Uncle, why did youe in? Im really fine. She wanted to stand up, but her body was light and she had no strength left. Damn it! After soaking for so long, his body was so weak! At this moment, Li Yan had already walked up to Qiao Mu. He lowered his head to look at her. Her face was flushed, and it was unknown whether it was due to shyness or the heat from the bath. Her wet hair was casually tied to her shoulders, and herrge, watery eyes were glistening. Half of her slender legs were covered by the lower hem of the bathrobe, and there was still a thinyer of water droplets on her skin. The scene in front of him was like a vivid painting, causing Li Yan, who had been thirsty for more than half a month, to lose hisposure! The temperature in the foggy bathroom was extremely high. Li Yan felt a little suffocated. His body instantly tensed up. He pursed his lips and suppressed the fire in his body. He spoke softly. Although he wanted to act as if nothing had happened, his voice was unusually low and hoarse. Did I really say it correctly? Are you out of breath? Youre already lucky that you didnt faint in the bathtub after soaking for more than an hour. Qiao Mus face was still red. Uncle, you can go out first. I can do it myself. Li Yan ignored her words. He bent down, picked her up, and strode out of the bathroom. Qiao Mu subconsciously moved in his embrace, but she was frozen in ce by a cold re from above her head. After she was ced on the sofa, Qiao Mu breathed in the fresh air outside the bathroom and felt much morefortable. Then, she watched Li Yan enter the bathroom again ande out very quickly with a towel in his hand. Thank you, uncle As Qiao Mu spoke, she raised her hand to take the towel from his hand. However, he did not pass the towel to her. Instead, he directly used the towel to dry her hair. Qiao Mu was stunned. The mans movements were neither light nor heavy, and his strength was very suitable. He carefully wiped her hair from the top of her head to the ends. The man stood beside her, so she couldnt see his expression. She wanted to look up at his face, but just as she moved her head, she was stopped by the man. Dont move around. If you dont dry your hair, do you want to catch a cold? Qiao Mus heart wavered. Actually, ever since she was ravaged by him that night, she had been a little resistant to being close to him this time. That was why she hid in the bathroom tonight and did not want toe out to face him. She was worried that he would be like that night and vent his anger on her for no reason. However, this man was like a schizophrenia. He was good to her one moment and fierce to her the next! Just as Qiao Mu was in a daze, a mans voice suddenly sounded from above her head. His tone carried a hint of schadenfreude. Qiao Mu, you can make yourself look so pathetic just by taking a bath. Youre really Youre so stupid.. Chapter 169 - 169: Gentle, Sudden Change Chapter 169: Gentle, Sudden Change Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was speechless. She Imew that he would definitely make fun of her! The hand that was drying her hair finally stopped. Qiao Mu raised her head and saw Li Yan bringing a hairdryer over. He plugged it in and started drying her hair. Qiao Mu stared at Li Yan in a daze. By the time she reacted, he had already dried her hair. The little things silly look made Li Yan feel a little helpless. He could not help but remind her, You have strength now? Theres still water on your body. Go wipe yourself and take off your sleeping robe. Take off your robe Qiao Mus eyes instantly widened, and her face reddened unnaturally. He saw her expression clearly. From her shy look, it was obvious that she had misunderstood him. Li Yan patted her head gently. What are you thinking about? Your pajamas are wet. Go change into your pajamas. Qiao Mus face turned even redder. Who asked him to not speak clearly! Qiao Mu was about to get up, but when she moved slightly, she felt a burst of pain in her knee. She lost her bnce and fell back onto the sofa. Whats wrong? Li Yans expression darkened, and he frowned. Qiao Mu, are you a pig? Why didnt you say so earlier that youre injured! Its fine, Uncle. I just touched it. Qiao Mu smiled nonchntly, but she saw that the mans face was still tense. Li Yan lifted the nightgown that was covering her knees and saw that her Imees were red. She had knocked them, but they were slightly swollen and did not break. Li Yan red at Qiao Mu and warned, Sit down and dont move! Ill get you some ointment. Theres really no need, Uncle. Im not that noble. By the time Qiao Mu finished speaking, Li Yan had already walked to the door. When he heard her words, he turned around and red at her, signaling her to shut up. This little thing did not know that she would always be so precious in his heart. She did not take it seriously even though she was injured. This made Li Yan angry and helpless. Perhaps when he was not around in the past, she was already used to bearing everything alone. It did not matter if no one loved her in the past. In the future, he would make up for everything that shecked. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yans departing back, and she did not know what to feel. How could this man be so shameless! When he wanted to treat her well, he did not give her any mental preparation. Who knew when he would pour cold water on her again? Downstairs. Li Yan rummaged through the medicine box to find some ointment. The butler heard themotion and walked over. He asked, Young Master, what are you looking for? Its a swelling ointment. I knocked my knee. Li Yan said calmly. Young Master, the bruise on your knee will disappear in two days. If its not broken, you dont need to apply ointment. Its not that serious. The butler had watched Li Yan grow up. Although Li Yan was the young master of the Li family, it wasmon for him to have conflicts since he was young. A boy was not that delicate. Why did he have to apply ointment today? When the butler saw Li Yans expression turn cold, he suddenly realized something and changed the topic. If its Ms. Qiao, you have to apply some ointment. After all, shes a girl. You have to take it seriously. After he finished speaking, he saw that Li Yans expression had improved a little. Then, Eldest Young Master took the ointment and went upstairs. The butler looked at the tall figure who was walking quickly, as if a second of dy would ruin the n. At home, Li Yan had always been in azy and rxed state. This was the first time he was so anxious. The butlerughed. If he was uncertain of Qiao Mus importance in Li Yans heart before, he could see it clearly now. It seemed that it was time to let Madam know about this.. Chapter 170 - 170: Is She Very Important to Him? Chapter 170: Is She Very Important to Him? Trantor: 549690339 After Li Yan left the room, Qiao Mu naturally could not sit there obediently. She came out of the bathroom in a sorry state and put on a bathrobe without even wiping her body. At this moment, she was ufortable all over. Most importantly, she was not wearing any underwear! The bathrobe was open, and she might be exposed if she was not careful. She quickly walked to the cab and found the underwear she had prepared beforehand. Just as she was about to change into it, Li Yan had already returned. What are you doing? Didnt I tell you not to move? A cold voice sounded, and Qiao Mu quickly turned around and hid her underwear behind her. Qiao Mu smiled and kicked her legs, saying indifferently, Uncle, it doesnt hurt anymore. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and strode over. He picked Qiao Mu up and ced her on the bed, warning, lm here. Ill apply the medicine for you. Qiao Mu held the small piece of cloth in her hand and subconsciously pulled down her nightgown to prevent herself from revealing herself. Qiao Mu felt that she was being too cautious after she did this because Li Yan did not notice if she was exposed at all. His gaze was fixed on the swollen area on her knee. He was kneeling on one knee in front of her, gently holding her leg with one hand and rubbing the ointment on her injured part with the other. He lowered his head, and Qiao Mu had the chance to size up the man in front of her wantonly. He was especially serious and meticulous when it came to the simple act of applying the ointment. All along, he had given her the impression that he was either cold or evil. It was rare to see him so serious, as if he was treating something precious. Precious Qiao Mu was stunned by her own thoughts. She actually had such an illusion! These little nudges were really nothing to Qiao Mu. When had she ever been protected like this? Looking at the scene in front of him, his heart seemed to be filled with memories that he had almost forgotten. This feeling was so familiar that it made her want to cry. Alright, the swelling will go down in a while. Li Yan put away the ointment and looked up as he spoke. He then saw Qiao Mu looking at him with tears in her eyes. He frowned slightly. Whats wrong? Does it hurt? Qiao Mu bit her lip and grunted. If she said it didnt hurt, then why was she crying?! Li Yans heart softened instantly. He sat down beside her and hugged her in front of his chest helplessly. He patted her back gently and said, Dont cry. Didnt you just say that youre fine? Do you have any future? It would have been fine if Li Yan did not speak, but the moment he did, Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes, and the tears that had umted in her eyes fell with a plop. Qiao Mu sniffed, feeling embarrassed. She hated crying the most, but she kept losing herposure in front of him. Pushing him away, she muttered softly, Uncle, Ill go change. She raised her head to look at him and realized that his gaze hadnded on her chest. There was a hint of strangeness in his deep ck eyes. Qiao Mu followed his gaze and looked down. She was shocked to find that the nightgown on her chest had opened, revealing that deep hook. Her face suddenly turned red and she quickly tightened her nightgown. Under his gaze, she felt ufortable. Li Yans gazended on Qiao Mus hand. He raised his hand and pulled out the unknown object in her hand. Then, he saw a pair of boxers. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, and his smile was extremely bewitching.. Qiao Mu, why arent you wearing this? Why are you holding it in your hand? Chapter 171 - 171: I Won’t Hurt You Again (1) Chapter 171: I Wont Hurt You Again (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu only felt blood rush to her head, and her face was burning hot. Give it back to me! She wanted to snatch back the embarrassing thing in his hand, but unfortunately, Li Yans eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He raised his hand a little higher. Li Yans gaze shifted downwards and looked at a certain part of her body. Then, he looked at the thing in his hand. He seemed to have understood something and the smile on his lips deepened. Little thing, dont you think that you have to take it off even if you wear it? You dont want to do anything unnecessary, so you might as well not wear it? .. (Xiao Mu felt a little hot under his gaze, and her big eyes red at him in embarrassment and anger. Dont spout nonsense. I didnt have the time to wear it! Hurry up and return it to me! Li Yan shook the small piece of cloth in his hand, and with a gentle flick of his arm, he tossed it out right in front of Qiao Mus eyes. Qiao Mu panted angrily. When she saw the mans teasing expression, she really wanted to pounce on him and strangle him to death! However, the current situation was very disadvantageous to her! She stood up and was about to pick up her pitiful underwear, but just as she stood up, a strong arm suddenly hooked her waist and brought her back to the big bed. In a sh, she had already fallen down. Then, a tall figure covered her and pressed her under him. Uncle, what are you doing? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes warily. The atmosphere suddenly changed. What do you think I can do? The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up, and his devilish face looked like a demon. The man lowered his head and pressed his lips down with a hint of fanaticism. In the past, when he was not having sex, Li Yan did not think that he was very keen on this kind of thing. When a woman approached him, not only did he not feel interested, he would even feel disgusted and not interested at all. However, ever since he had fallen for this little things trick, he had been out of control. He hadnt been with her for a few days. Tonight, with her gentle provocation, the fire in his body burned out of control! Qiao Mus body stiffened, and her sleeping robe was unbuttoned without any warning. Then, she felt the big hand move down bit by bit In an instant, her entire body tensed up, and her face was so red that it was almost dripping blood. This man! This was simply too presumptuous! She opened her mouth and found her voice after a long time. She shouted in a very embarrassed and angry tone, Li Yan, where are you touching! This bastard! Li Yans hand stopped, and his bottomless ck eyes narrowed slightly. The gaze he used to look at Qiao Mu darkened a little. His thin lips moved and he said in a low and hoarse voice, Did you apply the medicine here on time? Qiao Mu was still at a loss from embarrassment and anger when she heard this sentence above her head. She was slightly startled, and she bit her lip and turned her face to the side without saying a word. He even knew that he had hurt her! Whats the use of giving her ointment after hurting her? Looking at her rejection, Li Yan asked again, Does it still hurt? It hurts! He spat out a word angrily. She had already recovered after more than half a month. She said that it hurt because she wanted him to feel guilty and stop him from continuing. However, would he really feel guilty? Would he let her off just because she was ufortable? If he was so considerate, she would not have hurt him that time! After thest time, Li Yan could clearly feel that Qiao Mus body was extremely stiff when she faced him. That secret rejection made him feel extremely ufortable. Before he could pull the little thing closer, an impulse pushed her away.. Chapter 172 - 172: I Won ‘t Hurt You Again (2) Chapter 172: I Won t Hurt You Again (2) Trantor: 549690339 Hisrge hand gently caressed the top of her head. Li Yan stared into her big eyes and slowly said, Qiao Mu, such a thing wont happen again. I wont force you in the future, and I wont hurt you again. This low and light sentence seemed to have been casually uttered, but Qiao Mu could feel the firmness in his tone, as if he was making a promise to her. Qiao Mu was stunned as she met those deep eyes. The man who was teasing her earlier suddenly became serious. Qiao Mu bit her lip. This is what you said. You cant go back on your word! Yes. After hearing the mans reply, Qiao Mus body gradually rxed. Just trust him this once! Li Yan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the little womans blushing face. His eyes darkened and his big hands started to y tricks again. The little thing had rxed, but his body remained tense. Just as Qiao Mu rxed her nerves and her heart settled down, she realized that the man who was still boasting so confidently just now had started to continue! Qiao Mus eyes widened. Uncle, what are you doing? You just said you wouldnt force me! Well, I wont force you. Ill make sure youre willing to be naked in front of me. Youre so passionate, how can I not satisfy you? Qiao Mu was speechless. He could not catch his breath and was almost angered to death! This bastard! Big liar! Suddenly, Qiao Mu btedly thought of something and hurriedly shouted, lsnt your hand injured? Above her head, the mans lowughter rang out, and his tone was extremely annoying.This small injury is more than enough to satisfy you. .. This cold-blooded and inhumane beast! After a night of torment, Qiao Mu almost woke upte the next day. After breakfast, Lei Yi came to deliver the documents early in the morning. Li Yan did not go to the office in the morning. He had to go out to do something. Qiao Mu looked at Lei Yi with a smile. Assistant Lei, are you going back to thepanyter? Can you give me a ride? You cant. Before Lei Yi could speak, Li Yan spat out three words coldly. Looking at the little thing smiling at others, her good mood in the morning was gone! Li Yan stood up. Take my car. Ill send you off. But, Qiao Mu said considerately, Uncle isnt going to the office, right? You dont have to trouble yourself to send me there. Its just like Assistant Leis car! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. You dont want to trouble me, or you dont want to sit in my car? Qiao Mu chuckled when her thoughts were seen through. She enthusiastically moved closer to the man. Uncle, think about it. If others find out that I entered thepany through your connections, itll affect your fair and just image. But Assistant Lei is fine. Its fine if others see me. Oh? Why is he fine? Becausel dont care about him. I only care about how other people view uncle! Lei Yi was speechless. Was it really okay to say that in front of him? Did they not consider his feelings? Hearing the little things obsequious words, Li Yans lips curled up and he said directly, Then Ill get Lei Yi to pick you up to work in the future. Yes, uncle, youre the best! Qiao Mu happily got into Lei Yis car, but she immediately saw Li Yan following behind her. Before she could react, the man had already gotten into the car. Qiao Mu blinked and reminded him, Uncle, you got on the wrong car! No, I havent. The man leaned back in his seat and said leisurely,ln the future, Ill also take Lei Yis car to work. Qiao Mu was speechless. In the end, she was still going to work with him. She just changed her car! [Todays update ends Chapter 173 - 173: Are You In A Relationship With Assistant Reiter? Chapter 173: Are You In A Rtionship With Assistant Reiter? Trantor: 549690339 The car stopped outside the Li Corporation. Qiao Mu got out of the car and waved at Li Yan, who was in the car. Uncle, you can go back to your work. After closing the car door, Qiao Mu watched as the car slowly started before she entered thepany. Not far away, a red car that was about to enter the underground parking lot stopped. The window was rolled down, and Ye Lin curled her lips in disdain as she watched Qiao Mu get out of the ck car. Qiao Mu actually alighted from Lei Yis car. It seemed like these two people really had an affair! Assistant Lei Te, who was only under one person in thepany, dared to bring his lover into thepany. He really didnt care about thepanys rules! Qiao Mu sat down at her desk, and Tang Jiajia came over. Mu Mu, you offended Manager Ye yesterday. Shell definitely continue to target you, so youd better be careful. Qiao Mu smiled. Its fine. Ill just do my job conscientiously. Tang Jiajia whispered, That may be the case, but shes still your boss. You wont be so lucky to be seen by the CEO every time you get into trouble. Its better to be careful. Although its not your fault that you lost a big project, shell definitely me you. Okay, thank you, Jiajia. Ill be careful. As Qiao Mu spoke, she heard a voice from the side. Whats the use of being careful? If she really wants to target you, you cant hide from her. A youngdy has just started her internship and already met such a boss. Youd better pray for yourself. Qiao Mu had studied the information of her colleagues in the design department and knew that the woman in front of her was called Sun Ning. She was in her thirties and was an old employee of thepany. Her rtionship with Ye Lin wasnt very harmonious. Qiao Mu looked at him and politely said, Sister Sun, thank you for your reminder. Sun Min ced the documents on the table and nced at Qiao Mu. You dont have to be afraid of her. Shes just pretending to be virtuous. She doesnt like people who rely on connections to get into thepany. Didnt she also get in through the back door? When she was a neer back then, if it wasnt for the care of the previous manager, she wouldnt be where she is today. At the end of the day, shes just afraid that another person with connections will squeeze her out of the managers position. Qiao Mu was stunned. Right at this moment, a cold and furious voice sounded from the door. Sun Ning, who are you talking about! Sun Ning smiled disapprovingly. Manager Ye is here. Im talking about a ssmate of mine. Hes reminding Xiao Qiao to work hard in the future and not think about getting promoted through messy means. Ye Lins expression was extremely unsightly. She shot Qiao Mu a cold nce before walking into the office in her high heels. After that, Ye Lin did not deliberately target Qiao Mu anymore. Ye Lin was no fool. Even if she disliked Qiao Mu, she could not continue to make things difficult for Qiao Mu after what happened yesterday. After Ye Lin arranged work for Qiao Mu, she said very kindly, Qiao Mu, yesterdays incident is already in the past. You still have to do your work well. Qiao Mu nodded. I will, Manager. A scheming look shed across Ye Lins eyes as she smiled and said, By the way, are you dating Assistant Reiter? I was really shocked when I saw youing to thepany in his car this morning! Manager Ye, youve misunderstood Qiao Mu exined. Before he could finish, Ye Lin interrupted him. Dont be nervous. Although theres a rule in thepany that employees cant fall in love, there are still many people who fall in love in secret. Besides, youre not an official employee of thepany. As long as you dont interfere with work, I wont interfere in your private matters.. Chapter 174 - 174: The Thoughtful Young Master Li Chapter 174: The Thoughtful Young Master Li Trantor: 549690339 Xiao Qiao, I didnt expect you to be Assistant Lei Tes girlfriend. No wonder he personally sent you to our department! Assistant Reiter is one of the most sought-after women in thepany. So hes hiding such a beautiful girlfriend! Qiao Mu was speechless. Since she said this, Qiao Mu did not exin further. Fortunately, she did not take Li Yans car to thepany this morning. Otherwise, she would have exploded! At noon, when the design department was about to go for lunch, someone came to deliver food at the door. The delivery man carried a dozen bags and asked, Whos Qiao Mu? Come and sign for this. Everyone looked at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu was busy recording the data on herputer. When she heard that someone was delivering food to her, her first reaction was that Li Yan had prepared lunch for her again. However, the next second, she felt that something was wrong. All her colleagues in the office stood still and looked at her in unison. Then, Tang Jiajias voice was heard. Mu Mu, why didnt you tell us that youre treating us to lunch today? Ah, Xiao Qiao, its the food from First-grade Restaurant again. Youre too polite to treat us to such an expensive lunch. Qiao Mu smiled. After she signed for the takeout, she asked her colleagues to get one each. Then, she took her phone into the pantry and dialed Li Yans number. Uncle, did you order takeout for me? Qiao Mu asked directly when the call connectea. The manszy voice sounded faintly, lf it wasnt me, who else could it be? Could it be that you still have a hidden admirer that I dont know about and are using this method to express goodwill to you? Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, she was just confirming it. If she identally signed for someone elses takeout, she couldnt afford to pay! Uncle, Qiao Mu said sweetly, Ive made you spend money. Ive already spent a lot of money on you. This isnt the least bitcking. Qiao Mu knew that this man would not politely ept her good intentions, but she was still quite happy inside. She hung up the phone and happily went to eat. Qiao Mu brought a lunch to Ye Lins office. Manager Ye, Ill treat everyone to lunch today. This is prepared for you. Ye Lin nced at the food and smiled. It seems that Assistant Reiter is really considerate of you. He even thought of this kind of thing for you. Although Ye Lins attitude was a little friendlier than before, Qiao Mu still felt that she was being entric. She smiled in response, put down her things, and left. After this meal of goodwill, everyones attitude toward Qiao Mu became much better. If Qiao Mu had a problem that she did not understand, they would help her out, and work went much smoother. Before they got off work, they had a small meeting. Ye Lin distributed the documents in her hands to everyone. Although my mistake has caused our department to lose a big project, we still cant rx. The project in our hands now is the design of a luxurious and wealthy district. Although its half the size of thend in the north of the city, we still have to do it well. Each of you prepare a design proposal for me. At this point, Ye Lin paused and looked at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, do you have a problem? Qiao Mu shook her head. No problem! Alright then. Give me all the ns in two days. After work, Qiao Mu got into Lei Yis car, but Li Yan was not in the car. As if he could read Qiao Mus mind, Lei Yi said indifferently, Miss Qiao, Young Master has a social engagement tonight. He wants you to go home and wait for him. Qiao Mu looked at Lei Yi and could not help but ask, Assistant Lei, do you have a girlfriend? Chapter 175 - 175: My Hands Are Inconvenient, I Need to Serve Them Chapter 175: My Hands Are Inconvenient, I Need to Serve Them Trantor: 549690339 Lei Yi nced at Qiao Mu through the rearview mirror. Miss Qiao, why are you suddenly asking about this? Qiao Mu smiled. The people from the design department saw me riding in your car and mistakenly thought that we were dating. If they heard some gossip, please dont mind. Lei Yi was speechless. It didnt matter whether he minded or not, alright? If Young Master knew about this, he would definitely die a horrible death! When Li Yan arrived homete at night, he thought that Qiao Mu was already asleep. However, when he pushed open the door, the room was bright. Inside the house, Qiao Mus petite body was slumped on the sofa. She held a pen in one hand and a drawing in the other, and she was currently drawing something on the paper. The little thing bit the tip of the pen and frowned, as if it had encountered some difficulty. Li Yan walked in, and Qiao Mu only noticed him at this moment. She grinned and said, Uncle, youre back! What are you doing? Li Yan took the opportunity to sit down beside her. His gaze fell on the small notebook in her hand. There were messy drawings on it. Qiao Mu pouted and weakly said, lm thinking of a design n. I dont know much about theyout of themunity and building design, so I dont know where to start. Li Yan curled his lips. This girl was worrying about work. Which project? he asked. Its the luxurious and wealthy district in the city. There must be vis and high-rise buildings inside, all prepared for the rich. Li Yan thought for a moment to confirm which project she was talking about. Then, he took the pen from her hand and drew a rectangr shape on the paper. The tip of the pen tapped on the paper. This is the shape of themunity. The high-rise buildings cant block the view of the low-rise vis. They cant make the residents who live in the vis feel oppressed. Youve lived in this generations rich district since you were young. As long as you add your personal experience from the perspective of the residents, it wont be so difficult. As Li Yan spoke, he drew on a piece of paper with a brush. Qiao Mu was greatly inspired by his simple words. It was really strange. She had a headache all night and did not know how to do it, but he easily pointed it out. Li Yan looked down at her. Do you understand? Yes, yes! Qiao Mu nodded. Uncle, youre really smart! Li Yans lips curled up, and he hit her rudely. Youre too stupid. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. So what if she was smart! Li Yan tugged at his tie and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt. He leanedzily on the sofa with his hands spread out and red at Qiao Mu. Take off my clothes. Qiao Mu was speechless. Seeing the man spread out his hands like a lord, waiting to be served, Qiao Mu fiercely spat in her heart. Just as she was unwilling to do anything, she saw Li Yan raise his bandaged hand. Its inconvenient for my hand. Qiao Mu stared at his injured hand. She really wanted to remove the bandage and see if he was injured! When he did such intense exercisest night, his hands were not inconvenient. He was very flexible from beginning to end. Why couldnt he even unbutton his shirt now? Qiao Mus face could not help but turn red when she thought ofst night. She unwillingly went to unbutton his shirt. He was wearing a ck shirt that was stered to his chest. Every time he unbuttoned a button, his fingers would touch the hot temperature under the fabric. The warmth of her body was transmitted through her fingertips, causing Qiao Mu to feel her entire body heat up. After finally unbuttoning a few buttons, Qiao Mu retracted her hand. Just as she was about to distance herself from him to get some fresh air, her wrist was grabbed. The mans deep and maic voice sounded.And pants. Qiao Mu was speechless.. Chapter 176 - 176: The Little Thing Is Especially Obedient Today Chapter 176: The Little Thing Is Especially Obedient Today Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus face turned red. She really wasnt shy, she was hot! The man in front of her had his shirt open, and his muscr abs were half-covered. He looked simplyToo tempting! Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Under the mans gaze, her hands trembled as she unbuckled his belt. He undid his belt and unzipped his zipperLi Yans body tensed up as he watched the little things every move. That hand was trembling slightly. The more careful she was, the more likely she would identally touch him. Qiao Mu immediately heaved a sigh of relief when she unbuttoned her pants, but the small tent that entered her sight immediately froze her. He, he, he Qiao Mu immediately averted her gaze. Her chin was suddenly hooked by arge hand, and she was forced to raise her head to meet his gaze. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up into a devilish smile. Little thing, I only asked you to help me take off my clothes. What was your reaction? He looked at me as if he wanted to eat me up. Qiao Mu was speechless. Eat your sister! How shameless was this man? He was simply shameless! Qiao Mus eyes widened in embarrassment and anger, and her face was flushed red. She could not say a single word to quibble. Especially when the man in front of her had his shirt open in front of her, and he looked like he was at her mercy. It was as if she really wanted to eat him! Qiao Mus mind raced. She thought for a while before revealing a pure and harmless smile. She pointed at the small tent. Uncle, do you want to go to the bathroom? I heard that when a man wants to pee, this ce will bulge. Dont hold it in anymore. Hurry up and go! Li Yan was speechless. No one couldpare to this little thing when it came to pretending to be innocent. Just as Qiao Mu was feeling proud of her quick-wittedness, she saw a certain man stand up. She thought that she had already escaped, but the man directly dragged her to the bathroom. Lets go together. Huh? My hands are inconvenient. Help me bathe. Without a chance to retort, she was already dragged into the bathroom. Inside the bathroom, the steam was still rising. Qiao Mu wiped Li Yans body with a wet towel with her eyes closed. That man clearly still had one hand that he could move, but he did not do anything and allowed her to serve him. Finally, Qiao Mu finished wiping his body simply and prepared to withdraw. She said softly, Uncle, Im here. Youre too embarrassed to pee. Ill go out first. Dont hold it in anymore. After saying that, Qiao Mu saw Li Yans lips curl up into a beautiful smile. Immediately after, she heard his low and hoarse voice, which wasced withughter, Little thing, why are you so obedient today? Since youve reminded me time and time again not to endure it, I cant bear it anymore! Then, a certain man pressed Qiao Mu against the wall and leaned his tall body against her. Qiao Mu did not have time to react to this sudden change. Li Yan could not wait any longer. With a tug of his hand, he directly tore off Qiao Mus pants. At the same time, Qiao Mu felt a warm current gush out, and her lower abdomen ached slightly. And thenBoth of them froze. Li Yan looked at his pants, which had been dyed red, and his face turned ashen. Qiao Mu took a while to react before she pulled up her pants and pushed Li Yan away with a blushing face. Get out! Get out now! Li Yan was pushed out of the bathroom. He stared at the tightly shut door. The mes in his body could not be suppressed anymore. He sighed helplessly. It seemed that God was deliberately torturing him! [Todays update ends Chapter 177 - 177 Defeat in the Battle of Words! Chapter 177: Defeat in the Battle of Words! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu patted her head as she showered. She simply wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it, making herself disappear into thin air. There would not be a second person who would encounter such an embarrassing situation. She was simply too slow. Previously, she had felt a little pain in her lower abdomen and did not pay much attention to it. However, it just happened to be at this time! No, why was she so conflicted here? The one who should be furious should be the man outside, right? Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh when she thought of Li Yans expression just now. He must be furious, right? At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Qiao Mu immediately opened the door a crack and poked her head out. Then, she saw Li Yan holding a sanitary pad and clean clothes in his hands. Li Yan stuffed the thing in his hand into Qiao Mus hands with a cold expression, then turned around and left without saying a word. Puff . Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh out loud. She was in a great mood and felt like she had vented her anger! Li Yan had always wanted to do something to her directly. It was one thing to know that she was not in good health and be mentally prepared. However, he was about to seed just now and was caught off guard. It would be strange if this mans expression was good! Qiao Mus smile made Li Yan, who was about to leave, stop in his tracks. The man turned around and looked at the little thing who was gloating. The corners of his lips curled up bit by bit, and he narrowed his eyes with a half-smile. Qiao Mu, dont tell me that you dont know about the abnormality in your body. You clearly know that its inconvenient, but you still dont reject me. Just how badly do you want to eat me? The smile that had yet to vanish from Qiao Mus face instantly froze. The tiny bit of good mood that had surged out earlier was now as fragile as ss, shattering into pieces with a pa sound. She racked her brains for a long time, but she could not think of anything to say against him. She bit her lip and closed the bathroom door in embarrassment. She really wanted to smash the sanitary pad in her hand on that face that deserved a p! She had lost again in the battle of words! For the next two days, Qiao Mu still rode Lei Yis car to work. Of course, no one knew that Li Yan was in the car. When it was time to hand in the design proposal, Qiao Mu was still very confident in her own proposal. She had been listening to Li Yans opinions humbly for the past two days, and she had learned a lot. However, in the meeting room, Ye Lin directly rejected her proposal. Qiao Mu found it hard to ept. Manager Ye, may I ask whats wrong with my proposal? Why dont you consider it? Too childish. Its unrealistic to let your imagination run wild. Ye Lin sent Qiao Mu away with a simple sentence. Sun Ning took Qiao Mus proposal and looked at it before saying indifferently, Although this n is not mature enough, the idea is good. It will be perfect with a little improvement. Ye Dingning sneered. Are you the manager or am I the manager? If I had the same ability as you, I would be an ordinary employee like you and wouldnt be in this position! Sun Nings face darkened and he smiled coldly. Indeed, I cantpare to Manager Ye in certain aspects. Ye Lin ignored Sun Nings words with a cold expression and looked at Qiao Mu. Although I dont want to interfere in your private matters, Qiao Mu, I still have to remind you that having connections doesnt mean you have the ability in thepany. Qiao Mu had put a lot of thought into this proposal, and most of it was to ask for Li Yans opinion beforeing to a conclusion.. Did Ye Lin mean that the big boss above did not have the ability? Chapter 178 - 178: She Needed to Lower Her Fire! Chapter 178: She Needed to Lower Her Fire! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus attitude was very good. Manager Ye, if you have any opinions, feel free to say it. I can change it. Ye Lin did not even raise her head. If I had the time to give you advice, I would have made one myself. After the meeting ended, Sun Ning patted Qiao Mus shoulder. Take it easy. Shes the manager after all. Qiao Mu was very indignant. At this moment, her phone vibrated and she received a message. She opened WeChat and saw that Li Yan had taken the initiative to send her a message. What do you want to eat? Qiao Mu knew that he was asking her what she wanted to eat for lunch. For the past two days, Li Yan had asked Lei Yi to order food for her from restaurants outside. After lunch yesterday, she had casually told Li Yan that she was tired of eating the same dishes every day. However, today, this man had asked her in advance! Qiao Mu instantly felt ttered. After thinking for a while, he quickly typed a line of words and replied: Bitter gourd! I need to calm down! In the CEOs office, Li Yan looked at the words on his phone screen. It was said that women would be angry and have a bad temper during their period. It seemed that he had to calm the little thing down. At this moment, the internal line of the phone rang. Li Yan picked it up and heard Lei Yis voice.Young Master, Yu Tingyun is on the first floor. She wants to see you. Oh? Why is she here? Recently, the Qiao Corporation has been in the spotlight. It seems that she cant sit still anymore. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table. He said coldly, Let her in. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Li Yan answered and Yu Tingyun pushed the door open. Li Yan looked at her indifferently. Cousin, why are you here today? Yu Tingyun smiled and said, Yan, Im here today on behalf of the Qiaos Enterprise to discuss cooperation with the Lis. The real estate in the north of the city is now in the Lis hands. I wonder if the Lis can sign the contract for the sale of construction steel to the Qiaos factory. Yu Tingyun lowered her tone. As an elder, she had put down her airs in front of Li Yan. Since she coulde, she was confident that Li Yan would at least give her face. Li Yans lips curled up slightly, and he said in an indifferent tone, Cousin, its not that I dont want to give you face, but the Li Groups steel factory is thergest in the country. Its impossible for a businessman to use someone elses instead of his own goods. The words someone elses family hit Yu Tingyuns face directly, making her look very ugly. She had never expected Li Yan to reject her so decisively. He did not give her any face at all! Yu Tingyun had always been arrogant and never bowed her head to anyone. This time, she had never bowed her head to a junior for the sake of the Qiao family! After all, Yu Tingyun was a scheming person. Even though she had lost face, she still maintained herposure and smiled indifferently. Its okay. Im not making things difficult for you. Since its inconvenient, then forget it. Li Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. His tone was calm and indifferent. Cousin, youre still the same as before. Youre still working hard for the Qiao Corporation and the Yu Corporation. Unlike my mother, she never had the time to care about the family business. Hearing this, Yu Tingyuns smile froze. The man in front of her had a smile on his face, and he looked calm. She wasnt sure if he was hinting at something. Yu Tingyun smiled. Thats because Aunt is lucky. I cantpare to her. After a pause, Yu Tingyun stood up and said, Ah Yan, I still have something to do at thepany. Ill go back first. Qiao Mu and Tang Jiajia went to the washroom together, and Tang Jiajia kept consoling her to be optimistic. When the two of them came out of the washroom and walked to the elevator, Qiao Mu saw the person waiting for the elevator. [Oh, rmendation votes! Girls, when youment, remember to give it a five-star rating Chapter 179 - 179: Getting Close to Li Yan for the Qjao Corporation Chapter 179: Getting Close to Li Yan for the Qjao Corporation Trantor: 549690339 Yu Tingyun! Ever since she fell out with this woman at the Qiao familys residence, she had never returned to the Qiao familys residence. She did not expect to see her here! Yu Tingyun also saw Qiao Mu. At this moment, a ball of fire was burning in her heart. Although she did not show it in front of Li Yan, how could she not be angry when she was humiliated?! At this moment, Qiao Mu appeared before her eyes, and her mood worsened! Qiao Mu merely nced at Yu Tingyun indifferently before casually telling Tang Jiajia as she walked past. Qiao Mu! Just as Qiao Mu thought that she was a stranger, Yu Tingyun called out to her. Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks and told Tang Jiajia to go back first. She then turned to Yu Tingyun and asked in an extremely cold tone, Is there anything you need? Yu Tingyun smiled. Your father often talks about you when youre not home. Qiao Mu sneered. Aunt Yun, can we stop pretending? Theres no one around here. Why are you pretending to be friendly with me? Yu Tingyuns expression darkened. Qiao Mu, since thats the case, Ill be frank with you. Because you offended Lin Xian, the Qiao family didnt get the real estate in the north of the city and suffered a heavy blow. The Qiao family needs the Li familys help. The Qiao family is your fathers lifes blood and sweat. The Qiao family raised you, you have to remember to be grateful! Youre working at the Li Corporation now. I hope you can put your little tricks in the right ce! You mean, you want me to beg Li Yan to help the Qiao family? As Qiao Mu spoke, she could not help butugh, as if she had heard a big joke. Aunt Yun, are you mistaken? Li Yan is your cousin. You begged him, but he didnt even give you face, so why would he help me? If Yu Tingyun had achieved her goal by looking for Li Yan today, would she still need to talk nonsense with her? She must have not gotten any benefits from Li Yan, so she had ced her thoughts on her, right? Qiao Mu finally saw how hypocritical Yu Tingyun was! When he wanted to chase her out of the Qiao family, he could be so heartless. In the blink of an eye, he felt that she was of value. Then, he pretended that nothing had happened in the past and wanted her to disregard the past and work for him? Yu Tingyuns gaze sized up Qiao Mu from top to bottom before she said meaningfully, As long as you have the heart, its not impossible. Hes not your biological uncle. Its precisely because of this that you can get closer to him, isnt it? Qiao Mus expression turned cold, and she clenched her fists tightly. Then, she heard Yu Tingyun continue, Qiao Mu, I remember that you liked Li Yan very much when you were young. You were especially close to him. Youre so smart. You could do it in the past, and you can do it now. After Yu Tingyun finished speaking, she stepped into the elevator and looked at Qiao Mu. As long as you do this well, I wont make things difficult for you in the future. Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart. Yu Tingyun was really shameless. Today was an eye-opener for her! Qiao Mu clearly remembered that when she was close to Li Yan back then, this woman called her in front of her and said to her like a mistress, Qiao Mu, remember, Li Yan is my cousin and your uncle. He can only be your uncle for the rest of his life. I wont allow you to have any thoughts about my cousin! It was then that Qiao Mu realized that Yu Tingyun was not as benevolent as she appeared to be. Hence, Qiao Mu was very worried that Yu Tingyun would find out about her rtionship with Li Yan many yearster. However, this insidious woman wanted her to get close to Li Yan for the sake of Madam Qiao! Chapter 180 - 180: Coaxing Young Master Li into submission Chapter 180: Coaxing Young Master Li into submission Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was in a terrible mood after meeting Yu Tingyun. When she received her lunch, she seemed to feel Li Yans love ! Lunch was still two dishes and one soup, stir-fried bitter gourd, bitter gourd sd, bitter gourd rib soup. Qiao Mu was simply touched beyond words. Li Yan was really too good to her! She finished her lunch with tears in her eyes. Then, she received a call from Li Yan. Your anger has subsided? the man asked calmly. Qiao Mu pouted. No! 01% wno asKec1 my little nepnew to De so angry( Its all because of you! Me? Qiao Mu snorted and deliberately said, Thats right. You said that the proposal I designed was pretty good, but our manager said it was terrible. You must be fooling me! Li Yan chuckled. Come to my office. Ill help you cool down. . Uncle, there are so many people in thepany. They will see us. They all went to eat. Qiao Mu put down the phone and sneaked out of Li Yans office, only to see Lei Yi alone. Lei Yi led her to the office, and she sneaked into the office. In the office, Li Yan was sitting on the spacious sofa. When he saw her enter, he waved at her. Qiao Mu eagerly went over and was about to sit down beside him when the man hooked his arm and pounced forward, directly sitting on his thigh. The mans lips curled up slightly. You havent had a design proposal? Yes. Qiao Mu nodded. Li Yans arm wrapped around Qiao Mus waist and tightened slightly. His tone was heavy as he said, I heard that Lei Yi sent his little girlfriend to the design department. Its not difficult for Lei Yi to favor his girlfriend in his own name. Qiao Mu could sense that Li Yans tone was sinister. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold. How could Qiao Mu ignore Li Yans feelings regarding this matter?! How could this man tolerate his woman being treated as someone elses girlfriend? Wasnt this challenging Young Master Lis dignity? Qiao Mu immediately turned on herckey mode and stood up aggressively. Uncle, whos the one gossiping about such unreliable things? Ill go and find them and tell them that Im the CEOs woman. Ill make them take the right ce! From Qiao Mus stance, it seemed as if she really wanted to find someone to reason with, but she only had a stance, not any action. Li Yan looked at her without batting an eyelid. When he saw that she was still standing there after she finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows slightly. Hurry up and go. .. Qiao Mus body stiffened, and her tone instantly softened. She awkwardly curled her lips. Uncle, arent you going to stop me? Why should I stop you? Since youre so sincere, I naturally have to give you a chance to show off. Qiao Mu was speechless. Wasnt this just asking for trouble? Qiao Mu grinned and sat back down on Li Yansp. She was as obedient as a puppy that recognized its master. Actually, Ive thought about it. This might not be a bad thing. If others think that Im dating Assistant Lei, I wont receive special treatment, and I wont be bullied as someone with no background. Dont you think so, Uncle? Hmm, that makes sense. Uncle, dont be angry, right? The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. It was rare to see the little thing being so obedient. This was very beneficial to him. Hisrge hand patted her butt lightly. Youre bing more and more sensible. Qiao Mu giggled and rubbed herself against Li Yans body as if she had be excited. She was so obedient! [Todays update ends..] Chapter 181 - 181: Yes, Sir! Chapter 181: Yes, Sir! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest, her fingers fiddling with the corner of Li Yans shirt. After some thought, she raised her head to look at the mans face. Uncle, I saw my stepmother just now. Li Yan looked up. Did she bully you again? No, she showed me a clear path. Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes and smiled. Uncle, your cousin wants me to get close to you for the sake of the Qiao Corporation. If I ept her suggestion, she wont bully me. Do you think I should do as she says? Li Yans smile deepened, and his handsome face became even more arrogant. He tightened his grip on Qiao Mus waist, and his thin lips moved slightly.Arent you trying to get close to me now? Youre so close to me. How else do you want to get close? Qiao Mu blushed. This man was really indecent! The smile on her face became even more ingratiating as she wrapped her arms around Li Yans neck. So, Uncle doesnt hate being approached by me and is willing to help me achieve my goal? Li Yan nced at the smiling face. What? Do you really want to help your stepmother? Im not that considerate. Its just that the Qiao Corporation is my fathers business after all. Uncle, if its just a small matter, please help me. Thats easy for you to say! Qiao Mu immediately ttered him. Of course its light. Whos Uncle? Such a small matter is nothing to you. Li Yan nced at the overly enthusiastic little thing. What satisfied him was that she did not n this matter in her heart. Instead, she confessed to him directly. She had improved a lot! The smile in Li Yans eyes disappeared and his tone was filled with warning. This matter is indeed not difficult, but remember, Im not a busybody. You have to be obedient and dont let me find out that youre still up to something! Qiao Mu was stunned. She didnt expect him to agree so readily, and she didnt think too deeply about it. She quickly jumped out of his embrace and stood straight in front of him, saluting him. Yes, sir! After work, Qiao Mu wanted to go back to the dormitory to get a change of clothes. She did not ask Li Yan to send her a car and took the bus back to the school dormitory area. After getting off the bus, it was a ten-minute walk. As it was the holidays, there were not many people around the school. Qiao Mu was walking when she suddenly heard rapid footsteps behind her. Before she could turn around, the bag in her hand was snatched away. Qiao Mu panicked. Before she could react, she suddenly saw a slender figure blocking the robber. She quickly rushed forward and was about to warn the other party to be careful when she saw the other party punch the robber in the chest and kick him away. The robber threw his bag away and got up to escape. Everything happened too quickly, and Qiao Mu was so shocked that her mouth was agape. The girl opposite her looked about the same age as her, and she did not seem to have the strength to tie up a chicken. She did not expect her to be so powerful! He was simply too handsome! The girl picked up the bag on the ground and handed it to Qiao Mu. Her expression was cold, and her tone was arrogant. Hey, are you scared silly? Qiao Mu took the bag and smiled. Thank you, youre amazing! If it werent for you, my bag woman have Deen spatcpea away: This is nothing. This kind of person can be dealt with in a few moves! The girl waved her hand and frowned slightly. I didnt expect to encounter such a thing as soon as I got off the ne! Only then did Qiao Mu realize that there was a suitcase not far away. She looked at him and asked, Where are you going? Im going to T University. Do you know where T University is? The driver left me here and then left.. Its so irresponsible! Chapter 182 - 182: Did He Dump You? Chapter 182: Did He Dump You? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu pointed at the entrance of T University across the road. Isnt that T University? So its here! Ive been looking for it for a long time! The girl was delighted, and her face that was still cold and aloof a moment ago now flushed red as if she was exining to Qiao Mu, Um, Im blind. ..Wasnt this too blind? Qiao Mu smiled. Im Qiao Mu. Thank you again. Dont be so polite. My name is Baby Guan. His tone was very forthright. Baby GuanThis name sounded cute and weak, which did not match the cold goddess in front of him. Qiao Mu, are you a student at T University? asked Baby Guan. Qiao Mu nodded. Yes, its the school holidays now. What are you doing here? Im an exchange student from Hong Kong. Ill being to school next semester. The airport is close to here, so I came over to get to know the way. Exchange student? Qiao Mu was stunned. Since the exchange students from other schools were already here, why was there still no movement from her side? Looking at Baby Guans luggage, Qiao Mu asked, Youre from Hong Kong. Do you have rtives here? Im not really a rtive, but I do know someone. Its gettingte. If you know where University T is, Ill be leaving first. Baby Guan waved at Qiao Mu. Before Qiao Mu could wave goodbye, the other party had already left in a hurry, dragging his luggage. After this incident, Qiao Mu no longer dared to stroll around leisurely. She quickly returned to the dormitory, but when she reached the entrance, she realized that the lights in the room were still on. His originally frightened mind suddenly became nervous. Could it be a thief? Could it be that she was in trouble today and would either encounter a robber or a thief? There were also other students in the dormitory building who had not returned home. Qiao Mu mustered her courage to push open the door, but what she saw was Xiaxia? Qiao Mu called out in surprise and walked into the room. Why are you back? Arent youing back before school starts? Chi Xia sat by the bed with her head lowered. Therge suitcase was ced by her bed, as if she had just entered the house. She raised her head, and Qiao Mu noticed that her eyes were red. She appeared listless and lifeless. Qiao Mu was stunned. She stepped forward and asked, Xiaxia, whats wrong? Dont scare me! Mu Mu, Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mu and her eyes instantly turned moist. I broke up with Gu Cheng. Qiao Mus eyes widened in disbelief, and she quickly clenched her fists in anger as she angrily said, You went all the way to find him to give him a surprise, but he dumped you? Chi Xia bit her lip and tried not to let her tears fall. She choked, No, I suggested it. Qiao Mu knew very well that Chi Xia loved Gu Cheng so much. If Gu Cheng had not done something wrong to her, she would not have broken up with him! Seeing Chi Xias sad face, Qiao Mu did not have the heart to ask further. She went forward to hug her and gently patted her back. Cry if you want to. That scumbag isnt worthy of your attention. Just forget about him after youre done crying. Chi Xia hugged Qiao Mu and could not hold it in any longer. She sobbed loudly. As he cried, he cried,Mumu, he has a fiance He has a fiance and is still with me! If his fiance hadnt seen me when I went to his school and told me the truth, I would still be in the dark. He wanted me to wait for him to graduate, wait for him to reject the marriage, he said he only loved meBut I cant be the third party. I cant be with him anymore [Thank you for your rmendation votes, girls Chapter 183 - 183: You Will Meet a Better Man Chapter 183: You Will Meet a Better Man Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus heart ached when she heard Chi Xias cries. She finally understood what was going on. She didnt expect Gu Cheng to be such a jerk! No one knew better than Qiao Mu how much Chi Xia liked Gu Cheng. In the face of such feelings, no words offort would work. Qiao Mu could only silently pat her back and cry with her. After a long while, Chi Xia finally calmed down. Then, she became the calm Chi Xia again. Chi Xia wiped away her tears and smiled nonchntly. Im fine now. Ive thought it through these past few days. Since hes not responsible for our rtionship, theres nothing left for us to miss. Even though she said that, Qiao Mu looked at the smile on Chi Xias face. It was uglier than crying. Qiao Mu sighed. How did she manage to endure such a sudden blow these few days? Chi Xia was emotionally unstable, so Qiao Mu could not leave. She took her phone to the bathroom to call Li Yan. Soon, the call was connected, and the mans voice was heard on the other end. Are you done packing? Li Yan told her to pack her things and call him to pick her up. Qiao Mu spoke in a low voice and discussed it nicely, Uncle, I cant go back today. My friend has broken up with her boyfriend and is emotionally unstable. I want to stay and apany her. After saying that, she was worried that he would not believe her, so she added, Its Chi Xia. Youve met her. Im not lying to you. There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before Qiao Mu let out a sigh of relief after she heard an mm in an unpleasant tone. On the other side, in the corridor of Glorious Dark Night. Li Yan stopped walking towards the elevator. After hanging up the phone, he turned around and returned to the private room. In the room, the three men were getting up from the mahjong table when they saw Li Yan, who had just gotten up and left after a phone call, return. Brother, arent you leaving? Lu Jingzhi asked. Im not leaving. Lets continue ying cards. Li Yan sat down at the mahjong table. After Chi Xia finished crying, she calmed down and stood up, Mu Mu, lets go out for a drink. Qiao Mu frowned slightly. Even though she knew that drinking wouldnt solve the problem, she could only agree to apany Chi Xia to vent her frustrations when she saw how listless Chi Xia was when she was awake, as if she had lost her soul. Half an hourter, the two of them arrived at Glorious Dark Night. Qiao Mu and Li Yan had been here before, so they knew that the security system here was very good and that there would not be any chaos. Although the price was slightly higher, the safety of the two girls came first. After booking the room, Chi Xia clinked her wine ss with Qiao Mus. Her lips twitched as she revealed a bitter smile. Mu Mu, celebrate my return to being single. From now on, I want to bid farewell to my past and have nothing to do with Gu Cheng anymore! The two of them clinked their sses, and Qiao Mu nodded before saying very seriously, Xiaxia, youll meet a better man! If Gu Cheng was a responsible man, he would have settled the issue of his fiance before getting together with Chi Xia. A man like that was not worthy of Chi Xias devotion. Chi Xia raised her head and downed the wine in one gulp. She felt bitter in her heart. Then, he drank one ss after another, as if he wanted to get drunk and relieve his worries. Chi Xias alcohol tolerance wasnt high. After two bottles of beer, her face had already turned red and her tensed nerves had rxed. She leaned back weakly on the sofa and smiled foolishly. When Gu Cheng went abroad, although I rationally said that if we couldnt go on, we would break up, I never thought that we would end so quickly . Chapter 184 - 184: Getting Drunk and Causing Trouble Chapter 184: Getting Drunk and Causing Trouble Trantor: 549690339 Mu Mu, I really didnt expect this. Its not that we cant stand the test of time. I hope that weve changed our hearts. At least we were sincere in the past! But why did he have a fiance from the very beginning? Ive always been kept in the dark by him. I always thought that he would never lie to me. I trusted him so much Chi Xia sobbed softly. Perhaps she was drunk, that was why she said those words. Qiao Mu sighed, and her mood became very gloomy. She had once trusted her big brother so much and believed that he was the best person in the world to her. However, in the end, he still disappeared without a word. No one had made any promises to anyone. Many things could change at any time. Chi Xia soon became delirious from the drunkenness and could not stand steadily. Qiao Mu helped her to the washroom. When they reached the door, Qiao Mu waited outside while Chi Xia went in herself. Ling Xi, who was walking behind, was in a good mood. I won big brother today. I lost ten thousand dors in poolst time, but I made it back ten times over today. It seems like big brothers nephew isnt around, so big brother wont be so lucky. Su Chen smiled. Big Brother isnt in the mood tonight. Hes just bored and wants to kill time with us. Looks like youve been neglected by your little nephew? As she spoke, Li Yan stopped in his tracks and stared at a certain spot. The group followed his gaze and saw a slender figure leaning against the wall. Who else could that person be other than the little nephew that he had just mentioned? Li Yans eyes were so cold that they could freeze. This little thing who kept saying that she would stay in the dormitory to apany her friend was actually fooling around in this ce at this moment! Qiao Mu lowered her head and yawned, feeling extremely sleepy. She heard the sound of footstepsing from the bathroom door, and when she looked up, she saw two men walking out of the mens bathroom. Then, Chi Xia walked out unsteadily. Two men were standing in front of the sink washing their hands. They wereughing and talking drunk. It seemed that they had drunk a lot. Just as Qiao Mu was about to help Chi Xia up, Chi Xia pushed away the man standing by the pool and said angrily, Get lost, I dont want to see you. I said dont appear in front of me again! Chi Xia was so drunk that she thought it was Gu Cheng whenever she saw a man! The man red at Chi Xia. How dare you push me? Who are you?! Qiao Mu was shocked and quickly went forward to apologize. Im sorry, Im sorry. My friend is drunk. She got the wrong person because she was heartbroken. Big Brother, please dont take it to heart. The man looked at Qiao Mu, then at Chi Xia, andughed. Yo, youre heartbroken. The two beauties are in a bad mood. Do you want to have a drink with us? Before Qiao Mu could say anything, Chi Xia held a puddle of water in her hands and sshed it on the mans face. Bastard, get lost! Get lost! I think youre tired of living! The mans expression was ugly. He wiped the water on his face and raised his arm at Chi Xia. Trouble! Qiao Mu pushed the man away and tried to run away with Chi Xia. However, just as she turned around, her arm was grabbed. You want to leave so easily? You dare to provoke me? You dont want to live anymore! The man roared angrily. At the same time, he raised his arm again and swung it down mercilessly. Qiao Mus face paled as she watched helplessly as the arm fell. Wouldnt her face swell up from this p? However, the arm did not fall. The man suddenly flew out of her sight. [Todays update ends Chapter 185 - 185: Is This Your Dormitory? Chapter 185: Is This Your Dormitory? Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan looked at the perverted hand that was grabbing Qiao Mus wrist, and his eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light. He strode over, raised his leg, and mercilessly kicked the other partys chest. The man screamed and was kicked far away. Qiao Mu raised her head and was slightly stunned when she saw the person who had arrived. She then called out in pleasant surprise, Uncle! Li Yan lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on Qiao Mus face. Her cold face, sharp gaze, and murderous aura emanated from her entire body. The trace of happiness that had just surged out of Qiao Mus heart was instantly shattered. She suddenly realized something terrifying, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him. She didnt know if she was lucky or unlucky to meet him in such a situation! At this moment, another man pounced on Li Yan in anger. He waved his fist at Li Yan and shouted angrily,You f * cking dare to hit my brother? Ill let youAh . Before he could finish his sentence, Li Yan grabbed the arm that was swinging at him and twisted it forcefully. The sound of bones dislocating could be heard. The man hugged his dislocated arm and screamed in pain. You Wait here, Ill call someone over! Su Chen and a few others walked over. This Young Master Li was extremely unsettled whenever he encountered something rted to Qiao Mu. He had rushed over at a flying speed just now, directly leaving them far behind. Su Chen looked at the man on the ground and smiled. Oh, I was wondering who it was. Isnt this the Tang familys young master? Second Young Master Su! When the man saw Su Chen, his face lit up. Su Chen had dealt with his father before, so he would definitely help him with such a small favor! Su Chen only nced at him indifferently and said to Li Yan, Big brother, this man is Tang Huas son. Tang Hua has dealt with our goods before. Big brother! The two mens expressions changed when they heard this. Su Chen was the famous Second Young Master in the capital. Lu Jingzhi and Ling Xi were both people that they could not afford to offend. However, to be called big brother by Su Chen, it was obvious that the other partys identity was not ordinary. Ling Xi took a step forward and frowned in disgust. How dare you touch my brothers woman. You must be tired of living. Get lost! It was not strange that the other party did not know Li Yan. Most of Li Yans activities were overseas. He had just returned to the country not long ago, and he was only the CEO of LSAE in the country. Therefore, how could these people with a background in the underworld know that he was the boss who ranked ahead of Su Chen? After dealing with the two of them, Li Yans gaze finallynded on Qiao Mu again. There was a hint of undisguised coldness in his gaze. His deep voice sounded, and there was a questioning tone in his voice.Arent you in the dormitory? Is this your dormitory? Qiao Mu gulped nervously and looked up at Li Yan with a smile. I was in the dormitory when I called, but Xiaxia was in a bad mood, so I went out with her. As Qiao Mu was exining, Chi Xia pounced over and hugged Qiao Mu, muttering, Where is this? I want to drink! Li Yans face darkened. He felt that Chi Xia was a hindrance, so he dragged her away from Qiao Mu and tossed her aside. Qiao Mu was shocked. She was afraid that Chi Xia would lose her bnce and fall. The next second, she saw Chi Xia jump into Su Chens arms and hug him, continuing to shout, Come, lets go drink.. Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu really wanted to find a hole for Chi Xia to hide in and pick her up after she saw who it was, alright? Chapter 186 - 186: A Sincere Apologize Chapter 186: A Sincere Apologize Trantor: 549690339 Su Chen looked down at the woman in front of his chest. He could smell the stench of alcohol and frowned in disgust. He wanted to throw the drunk woman to the person beside him, but Lu Jingzhi and Ling Xi quickly took two steps back and refused to take over. Second brother, youre really popr with women! Ling Xi gloated. Su Chen pushed Chi Xia away, but Chi Xia suddenly hugged him tightly. She buried her face in his chest and started crying, You dont want me anymore. How can you not want me?! Gu ChengBoohoo, you bastard! I hate you to death! Chi Xias sudden cry stopped Su Chen from pushing her away. However, Chi Xia bent down and pressed her face against Su Chens clothes. She retched and then.. He vomited! Everyone was stunned as they watched Chi Xia puke all over Su Chen. After she was done, Chi Xia pushed Su Chen away and ran to the sink. Su Chens face was extremely ugly and green. He quickly took off his coat and threw it on the ground in disgust. Fortunately, the clothes inside were not dirty, but he still felt ufortable all over. Big brother, Ill be leaving first. After saying that, Su Chen walked away. As he turned around, he saw Chi Xia lying in front of the sink. That gaze was too terrifying! Qiao Mu took a step forward and hugged Li Yans arm in a fawning manner. She asked softly, Uncle, did Xiaxia get into trouble? Youre the one who caused trouble! Li Yan looked at the little thing coldly. She still had the mood to care about others! Qiao Mu was very innocent. Lu Jingzhi and Ling Xi were ready to leave after watching the show. When he passed Qiao Mu, Lu Jingzhi smiled and said, Qiao Mu, its fortunate that that woman is your friend. Otherwise, how could we let her off after vomiting all over Second Brother! Ling Xis tone was filled with schadenfreude. Yes, I still have to give face to Sister-inw. However, when Second Brother left, his expression was as if he had stepped on shit. Just thinking about it makes me want tough. Qiao Mu was speechless. Where is sister-inw? On the way back, Chi Xia sat in the back of the car and fell asleep. Qiao Mu carefully looked at the man driving and whispered, Uncle, can you drive with your hands? Why dont I drive? The man nced at her coldly. You want to drink and drive? I didnt drink. Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes and lied. She only drank one cup. The car suddenly stopped, and Qiao Mu thought that Li Yan really wanted her to drive. However, the next second, the man leaned forward and pressed arge hand on the back of her head. Li Yan narrowed his eyes. Is that so? Then let me verify if youve been drinking! His lips pressed against hers. Qiao Mus eyes widened. Chi Xia was still in the car! The man asked for a kiss without a care. Qiao Mu did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that he would smell the alcohol. After a while, the man let go of her and licked his lips in disgust. It tastes terrible. Qiao Mu was speechless. Why did you kiss me for so long when the taste is bad! And he kissed her so passionately! Then, her chin was hooked, and the mans deep voice sounded,You came to a ce like this in the middle of the night and didnt report to me? Hmm? Youre really bold! If Im not here tonight, how are you going to clean up the mess?! Qiao Mu lowered her head guiltily and sincerely admitted her mistake. Uncle, I was wrong. I was only thinking about helping Xiaxia solve her worries and didnt think too much about it. I promise there wont be a next time. Dont be angry, okay? Qiao Mus attitude was sincere. Li Yan snorted coldly and continued driving without saying a word. [Continue updating during the day Chapter 187 - 187: Definitely Double the Compensation! Chapter 187: Definitely Double the Compensation! Trantor: 549690339 Although Li Yan was still driving with a cold face, Qiao Mu knew that he would not argue with her. Actually, this mans temper was not that bad. He was still very understanding and reasonable! The car stopped outside the dormitory area, and Qiao Mu took the opportunity to discuss, Uncle, Xiaxia has been feeling downtely. I need to spend more time with her, so can you You want to apany her, so you cant apany me? Li Yans tone darkened. Qiao Mu, all your time is mine. Since when did I give you the right to arrange your own time? Im just discussing with you! No! He rejected her without giving her any face. Uncle Qiao Mu leaned forward and hooked her arm around Li Yans arm in a fawning manner. She shook it gently. Just give me a few days off. Ill definitely make it up to you doubleter! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be very interested in her words. The corners of his mouth curled up. How are you going to make it up to me? Qiao Mu steeled her heart and braced herself to say, Whatever Uncle wants, Illpensate him! Li Yans eyes shed with a hint of ambiguity. He scratched her nose and said, Alright, Ill wait for you to perform well. Qiao Mu blushed and immediately jumped out of the car to wake Chi Xia up. She then dragged Chi Xia and fled. On the second day, Xia Tianchi woke up andpletely forgot what he didst night. When Chi Xia heard aboutst nights embarrassing incident, she was extremely annoyed and patted her head, What have I done? I even vomited on a stranger and almost caused trouble. Fortunately, I met your uncle! Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at Chi Xia. Lets see if you dare to get drunk again! Chi Xia leaned on the table and looked at Qiao Mu with her chin in her hand. She asked, Mumu, how are things going with your uncle? Why are you suddenly concerned about me? Do you want to hear some tragic things from me to seek some psychologicalfort? Tsk, are you living a miserable life? I see that youre getting along well with your uncle. Qiao Mus hands paused, and she said nonchntly, lts not what you think. Looking at Qiao Mu, Chi Xias tone became serious. Mu Mu, although Li Yan is ten years older than you, uncle boyfriends are the most popr nowadays. Mature men are the most reliable. Gu Cheng, for example, has yet to stabilize his career. How can he have the ability to control his own feelings? First love doesnt have a good ending. Ill admit it! But Li Yan is such a good man. You have to open your eyes wide and look at what youre doing! Qiao Mu burst intoughter. How did you be a rtionship expert overnight? Im serious. Dont take it lightly! Qiao Mu sighed helplessly and asked in a low voice, Xiaxia, if Gu Cheng seeds in his career and bes a mature man like Li Yan, will you choose to get back together with him? Chi Xias eyes darkened. After a while, she shook her head. No. An expected answer. Yeah, you wont, and neither will I. It was said that first love never ended well, but Chi Xia did not know that Li Yan was her first love. Ten years ago, her first love was shattered. Chi Xia did not understand what Qiao Mu meant and sighed. There were some things that no matter how much she said, it would be useless. If they were destined to be together, they would not lose each other no matter how hard they tried. If they were not fated to be together, what was the use of paying more? On Monday, Chi Xia packed her luggage. Have you decided to go home? Qiao Mu looked at her and asked. Chi Xia smiled. Dont worry, its just a loss of love. Its not like the sky is falling down. Dont worry about me, Ill be fine.. Chapter 188 - 188: Do Well Chapter 188: Do Well Trantor: 549690339 When Qiao Mu arrived at thepany, it was already noon. She took the whole morning off and only came to the office after Chi Xia returned home. However, when she saw Ye Lin, she felt that Ye Lins expression was very bad, especially the way she looked at her. She did not like her at all. Qiao Mu moved closer to Tang Jiajia and asked, Did something happen? I didnt offend Manager Ye. Tang Jiajia replied softly, This morning, Manager Ye showed the design proposal for the luxurious and wealthy district to the president, but he rejected it. The president was very dissatisfied and said that our design department couldnt even do a small design proposal well. Then, the president made a few suggestions. Guess what? Qiao Mu was speechless. Dont keep me in suspense, okay? You wouldnt have thought that the CEOs suggestions fit perfectly with the ideas in your proposal! Tang Jiajia said excitedly. In other words, it was Manager Ye who personally rejected your proposal. Isnt she pping herself in the face? Qiao Mu was stunned. She had casuallyined to Li Yan about the proposal, but she did not expect him to use this method to help her salvage the situation! Uncle is simply awesome! At this moment, Sun Ningughed and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, Xiao Qiao, I didnt expect you to be so amazing. The proposal you came up with was almost the same as what the CEO wanted. It seems that I have the same taste as the CEO. Unfortunately, Manager Ye insisted on using his position to pressure others. In the end, he lost face in front of the CEO. Ye Lin looked at Sun Ning coldly. Its working hours. Who told you to talk nonsense here? Manager, its still lunch break, Sun Ning replied. Qiao Mu silently sat in her seat, not wanting to get involved in the dispute between these two people. Ye Lin red fiercely at Qiao Mu. Ever since Qiao Mu came to thepany, she had caused her to repeatedly make mistakes! Dont think that having Lei Yi as a backer is foolproof. She doesnt believe that she cant get hold of them! After work, Qiao Mu received a call from Li Yan asking her to look for him in the parking lot. In the underground parking lot, Qiao Mu was looking for Lei Yis car when she saw the warning light of Li Yans car shing. She opened the door of the backseat and got in. Li Yan, who was sitting in the drivers seat, turned around and looked at the sneaky little girl. He said coldly, Cant you see your man sitting in front? Why are you moving back? Qiao Mu chuckled. I want to enjoy it. The feeling of Uncle being a chauffeur will definitely be great! Actually, she was afraid that the people in thepany would see her sitting in front! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. You want me to be the driver? I think I need to have a good talk with you. Li Yan said as he opened the car door and got out of the car. Then, he moved to the backseat. After sitting down, Li Yan scooped the little thing up and ced it on hisp. He said in a low voice, Little thing, youve taken a few days off, and no one has warmed my bed every night. Now is not the time for you to take advantage of me. Its your turn topensate me! Qiao Mu immediately felt that something was wrong and chuckled. Uncle, can we go home first? The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. He had no intention of letting her go. Didnt you say that I can have anything I want? I cant wait for you to perform well now! Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, a person has to be honest and keep his word! Qiao Mu raised her head and kissed Li Yans lips. She then discussed in a low voice, Uncle, lets go home first. Li Yans eyes narrowed, and he immediately grabbed Qiao Mus head and kissed her heavily. [Todays update ends Chapter 189 - 189: Ye Lin Caught Into A Good Thing Chapter 189: Ye Lin Caught Into A Good Thing Trantor: 549690339 After not seeing her for a few days, he smelled the familiar scent on her body. He could not help but want to eat her immediately! Qiao Mus eyes widened. This man was truly a hooligan who could act regardless of the asion or the time! Qiao Mu was on tenterhooks, worried that someone would see her. Li Yan seemed to be dissatisfied with her distraction and deepened the kiss. The mans maic breath lingered around the tip of her nose. Qiao Mu had no idea when she realized that she could no longer dislike this mans touch. Feeling his forceful demands, her body softened bit by bit. Li Yan hooked his arm around her slender waist and tightened his grip on her, pressing her against him tightly. His deep voice rang out beside her ear.Little thing, your good performance is to do nothing and let me do whatever I want? Qiao Mu was speechless. He also knew that he was doing something outrageous! Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes pitifully, her eyes full of pleading. Uncle, can we go home? Li Yan smiled. You cant wait to go home and show me? . She really wanted to shut this man up! Why was everything that came out of his mouth so annoying? Li Yan was rather satisfied with Qiao Mus performance. He opened the car door and patted her butt. Go sit in front. Qiao Mu was delighted. She finally escaped from Li Yans clutches and jumped down from hisp. Just as she jumped off the car, she bumped into Ye Lin, who was getting her car from the opposite parking lot. The two of them stared at each other across the car and were both stunned. Qiao Mu only felt that enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road, so why did Ye Lin have to bump into her! Li Yan, who was about to get out of the car, was stopped by Qiao Mu, who was standing motionlessly at the door. He nced at the person on the other side and sat quietly in the car. Ye Lin looked at Qiao Mu in disbelief, then at the ck Bentley Mulsanne. Her eyes widened in shock. Qiao Mu, why are you in the CEOs car?! This was Li Yans private car, yet Qiao Mu actually got out of it! Seeing Qiao Mus flushed face and slightly swollen lips, it was obvious that she had done something in the car! Li Yan had never been close to women, and there had never been any rumors about him being with any woman. His rtionship history was so clean that he did not seem like a normal man. How could Ye Lin believe that Qiao Mu and Li Yan were having an affair? Since she had already been exposed, Qiao Mu did not feel embarrassed. She nced at Ye Lin indifferently and greeted her as if nothing had happened. Manager Ye, youre really dedicated to your job, getting off work sote. Ye Lin stared at the dark figure in the car. She couldnt see clearly who the person in the car was, but seeing Qiao Mus self-righteous manner, she gritted her teeth in hatred. Wasnt Qiao Mu with Lei Yi? At the thought of this, Ye Lin suddenly understood something. The shock on her face gradually faded, and the corners of her lips curled up. Qiao Mu, the person in the car isnt the CEO, right? Ye Lin had a feeling of excitement as if she had something on him. Her gaze fell on the dark car. Isnt that right, Assistant Reiter? Qiao Mu was speechless. Was this Ye Lin a joke? She was clearly sitting in Li Yans car with him. Which eye of Ye Lins saw that the man in the car was Lei Yi? Qiao Mu lowered her head and met the mans cold and charming ck eyes. She blinked her eyes reassuringly, indicating for him to calm down. Since there was a misunderstanding, then let it be! Before (Liao mu could speak, she Immediately pearal ye Lins gloating voice. Qiao Mu, I didnt expect you and Assistant Lei Te to be so fond of ying with fire. You even did this in the CEOs car.. If the CEO knew that Assistant Lei Te brought you to his car, what would the consequences be? Chapter 190 - 190: You Take Auntie’s Seat Chapter 190: You Take Aunties Seat Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu finally understood that Ye Lin did not believe that she would hook up with a big shot like Li Yan, so she immediately thought of Lei Yi when she encountered this matter. Qiao Mu looked at Ye Lin as if she was watching a joke. If Ye Lin knew that the Mr. CEO she was talking about was in the car, would she be so shocked that her jaw would drop? Why arent you talking? Assistant Reiter has the guts to do it, but dont you have the guts to take responsibility? Ye Lin looked at the car with disdain. She opened her car door and sat in. I didnt mean to ruin your fun. I wont disturb you anymore. You guys continue. Ye Lin started the car and snorted at Qiao Mu. She had thought that Li Yans car was parked beside her and she could use the excuse of greeting him to get closer to him in private. However, who would have thought that she would see such a disgusting scene! It seemed like he had really underestimated Qiao Mu. She was so good at seducing men at such a young age, yet Lei Yi, a calm and cold person, actually couldnt help but follow her in the CEOs car She was indeed a vixen! However, it was still beneficial for her to get hold of such a thing today! Once Ye Lin left, Qiao Mu immediately lowered her head to look at the man in the car. Uncle, hes already gone. Li Yan looked up and his gaze fell on Qiao Mus face. He stared at her with a deep gaze. Are you that afraid that others will find out about our rtionship? There was a hint of displeasure in the mans tone. Qiao Mu stiffened and shook her head vigorously. No, Uncle. I just didnt want to trouble you. Youre really considerate. As the man spoke, he got out of the car and flipped over to pin Qiao Mu against the car. I dont mind the trouble. Qiao Mu was stunned. Before she could react, Li Yan had already let go of her, opened the front door, and sat inside. Did he mean that he didnt find her troublesome? In the eyes of outsiders, he was her real uncle. They were family. No matter what, it wouldnt be good for others to know about this rtionship, right? He didnt mind. Did he not care about his reputation? Thinking about it, it made sense. When did a person of his status take other peoples opinions seriously? That night, Qiao Mu was forced to perform well many times, and she really did not dare to say such reckless words again! Li Yan looked at the woman in his arms and asked in a deep voice, Little thing, my woman was mistaken for someone elses. Tell me, am I very useless? Thats not true! Uncle is the best! Since your stepmother has already schemed for you to use a honey trap on me, should we make it public and fulfill her wish? Qiao Mu was startled. No! Hmm? Qiao Mu lowered her gaze and muttered softly, Uncle, youll abandon me one day. I dont want to be looked down upon by others at that time. Who dares to look down on you? Li Yans eyes turned cold. Qiao Mu bit her lip and remained silent. Li Yan nced at her and sighed helplessly. Qiao Mu, did I say that I would not want you? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Is there a need to say that? One day, youll marry an auntie. We only have three years. Li Yan narrowed his eyes, and a hint of displeasure shed across his eyes.Little auntie? She really called me that easily! How dare she mention three years? Did she count the days she spent with him? Li Yan twirled his fingers around her hair and said in a deep voice, Qiao Mu, if youre so capable, then turn three years into thirty or sixty years.. You can take the position of auntie yourself! Chapter 191 - 191: Yes, I Like You (1) Chapter 191: Yes, I Like You (1) Trantor: 549690339 The mans tone was low and deep, and his eyes were fixed on her. There was no sign that he was joking at all. Qiao Mus eyes dimmed slightly, and the corners of her lips twitched into a smile. Uncle, Im not that capable. Li Yans cold eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips curled up. He was clearly smiling, but that smile made Qiao Mu feel terrified. Based on Qiao Mus understanding of this man, she knew that this was a sign of his anger. She wasnt sure if he was joking with her or testing her thoughts. Qiao Mu felt the need to rify things for herself, so she sensibly said, Uncle, dont worry. Im not trying to pry into Aunties identity. I know my ce. Ill be with you obediently. Qiao Mu noticed that Li Yans expression instantly darkened after he said that. It was even uglier than before. Qiao Mu felt very innocent. Why was everything she said wrong? Li Yan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Only then did he rationally not get angry at this heartless little thing. He narrowed his eyes and stared into those big eyes. He said word by word,Qiao Mu, what if I give you the right? Qiao Mu was stunned. Give her authority? What rights? Immediately after, the mans voice sounded again, and as if he had seen through Qiao Mus thoughts, he emphasized, 111 give you the right to spy on my aunts identity! A hint of astonishment shed across Qiao Musrge eyes, and a certain memory in the deepest part of her mind shed by. She tugged at the corners of her lips and asked with a faint smile, Uncle, do you have a bad rtionship with my stepmother? Li Yan frowned slightly when he heard that. In the next second, he understood what she was thinking! This woman! She really wanted to anger him to death! Li Yan exhaled and red at her coldly. Yes, havent you already seen through Qiao Mu bit her lip and said softly, If youre with me just to anger Yu Tingyun, theres really no need to do this. In the past, she couldnt ept this, but now, Yu Tingyun cant wait for me to hook up with you. Its good for the Qiao corporation ana ror ner. Li Yans face darkened. It was indeed like this! Although he had already expected her thoughts, hearing it from her mouth still made him very angry! Li Yan pursed his lips, his face ashen. Qiao Mu, do you think youre that useful? Using you to anger Yu Tingyun, do you think Im ying a childs game? Did she think that he was with her to use her against Yu Tingyun? Did she think that she was just a chess piece to him, that he would use her when he needed her and throw her away when he no longer needed her? He really wanted to pry open her head and see if it was a pile of tofu dregs inside! Qiao Mu pursed her lips without a word. Even if the effect was very small, it could still be of some use! Didnt he treat her well with this intention back then? Back then Qiao Mus eyes dimmed. When she learned that Li Yan had moved, she went to ask Yu Tingyun, the only person rted to the Li family, but Yu Tingyun said, The Li family has moved out of the country and will nevere back! Qiao Mu was very surprised, and then she heard Yu Tingyun say as if she was talking to herself, lts best if you nevere back. Its best if you dont see it, so as not to worry me! After that, Qiao Mu hid under the big tree that Li Yan often went to, feeling sad. Qiao Ya ran over and arrogantly said to her, Qiao Mu, do you think uncle really likes you? Youre really too stupid. Actually, uncle doesnt have a good rtionship with my mother, so hes close to you just to anger my mother.. Youre just being used! Chapter 192 - 192: Yes, I Like You (2) Chapter 192: Yes, I Like You (2) Trantor: 549690339 At that time, Qiao Mu was so agitated that she didnt believe Qiao Yas words, but Qiao Ya smiled cruelly and said, 0therwise, why didnt he tell you when he went abroad? He doesnt care about you at all. Youre just an illegitimate child. What right do you have to make uncle like you? Initially, Qiao Mu couldnt figure out why Li Yan would disappear without a word. However, after hearing Qiao Yas words, although she didnt want to face it, she was convinced in the end. Today, after so many years, Qiao Mu had been observing the rtionship between Li Yan and Yu Tingyun. After so many incidents, she was sure that their rtionship was indeed not good. However, Li Yan got together with her again. Qiao Mus mood immediately soured when the past was forcefully revealed. She also wanted to know why he still liked to y such childish games after so many years. Suddenly, her chin was grabbed by arge hand, and Qiao Mu had no choice but to raise her head to meet that pair of deep and fiery eyes. Then, a low voice with a hint of anger sounded,Qiao Mu, do you think I need to beat around the bush when I want toy my hands on someone? Im not interested in childrens games, whether its the Yu Corporation or Yu Tingyun. If I want to deal with them, Ill use a brainless pig like you. Do you think Im more stupid than a pig? Qiao Mu was speechless. Did his mouth have to be so vicious? How was she stupid? What right did he have to call her a stupid pig? Wait a minute Qiao Mus mind spun, and a hint of surprise shed across her eyes. Did he mean that he didnt use her and was with her, and that it had nothing to do with Yu Tingyun? Qiao Mu blinked herrge eyes in astonishment. After reacting for a long time, she clearly understood what he meant. He Was he exining to her? Qiao Mu felt as if her heart had been stirred by something, and she couldnt describe the feeling. Although he had a fierce and cold expression on his face and said those words to her in anger, she believed him in her heart. This man was no longer the young man from ten years ago. If he would have done such a childish thing ten years ago, he had no reason to do so now. She had seen this mans decisiveness and ruthlessness. Whatever he wanted to do, he would definitely go straight to the point. Why did he need to spend so much effort on her? If he was using her, it seemed like he had been helping her all along! At the thought of this, Qiao Mus bad mood instantly disappeared, and was reced by a small sense of joy. Even if he had only used her back then, wasnt it different now? Qiao Mu looked at that cold face. This was the first time she felt that he was actually quite handsome when he was angry! Feeling a little smug in her heart, Qiao Mu opened her arms and wrapped them around Li Yans neck. She took the initiative to lean in and asked with a serious expression, Uncle, do you like me? Li Yan looked up coldly. He could not deny the little girls sudden question. The little girls sudden change meant that she was not so stupid that she could not be saved! Qiao Mu saw that he didnt reply and couldnt wait to conclude, Just admit it. You like me! The coldness in Li Yans eyes gradually dissipated. The corners of his lips curled up into a devilish smile. His voice was so maic that it made people intoxicated. Thats right, I like you. Li Yans straightforward admission waspletely out of Qiao Mus expectations. Hence, Qiao Mu waspletely stunned when she heard the words Thats right, I like you.. Chapter 193 - 193: That’s Right, I Like You (3) Chapter 193: Thats Right, I Like You (3) Trantor: 549690339 An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. Even ten years ago, no matter how good Li Yan was to her, he had never said the word like to her. She had said it so casually, and it made her feel that his attitude was very frivolous! Just as Qiao Mu was staring nkly at Li Yan, she saw the man flip over and press her under him. The big hand was not obedient. His low and deep voice was full of charm as it sounded in her ear, I like you. Cant you feel it? As he spoke, thatrge hand pinched a certain protruding part of her body. This action made Qiao Mu blush all of a sudden. The little bit of joy that had just appeared in his heart was instantly turned into ashes! Qiao Mus face flushed red as she widened her eyes. Li Yan, what are you doing? Prove that I like you! A certain man seemed to want to express his feelings very much, and he was even more active in expressing his feelings. This bastard! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth. She knew that he wouldnt say anything nice. The like he mentioned was in this aspect?! Then, without giving Qiao Mu a chance to react, a certain man began to prove his love with his actions! Qiao Mu wanted to cry but had no tears. This insatiable beast! Qiao Mu realized that she absolutely could not chat with him after doing this kind of thing in the future. She might be eaten again if she said something wrong! After the incident, Qiao Mu was practically exhausted. She fought back her sleepiness and narrowed her eyes at the man beside her. Does the matter with Little Aunt still count? Li Yan was full and in a good mood. His thin lips curled up slightly. Why? Are you interested? Will the treatment be better if I sit in Aunties position? So this was what this girl was thinking! Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. The treatment will be different. Its just that its not appropriate for you to call me uncle. If youre really thinking about this identity, then change the way you address me! Huff huff- Just as Li Yan finished speaking, Qiao Mu had already closed her eyes and was snores hypocritically. Li Yan was speechless. This little thing! Li Yan felt helpless. Forget it. If he did not want to change it, then so be it. After a while, it felt good to be called uncle by her. Qiao Mu was originally pretending to be asleep, but because she was too exhausted, she really fell asleep after pretending. Feeling her breathing gradually calm down, Li Yan looked at her clean little face, and his eyes darkened slightly. Hisrge hand gently stroked her fine hair, and his deep voice rang out in the quiet room. Qiao Mu, Ill never use you, so dont have such crooked thoughts about me. Whatever you want, just tell me, and Ill give it to you. If you think youre smart enough to scheme against me, dont me me for punishing you too cruelly! Li Yan was greeted with silence. Li Yan lowered his head and nted a light kiss on Qiao Mus forehead. Qiao Mu seemed to sense his gentleness as she humphed and burrowed into his embrace. The next day, Qiao Mu arrived at thepany. Even though Ye Lin had seen through her good deed, Qiao Mu still continued to work as usual without a guilty conscience. In Ye Lins eyes, Qiao Mus calmness was an arrogant and conceited attitude. In the morning, Lei Yi passed by the entrance of the design department. Ye Lin walked up quickly. Assistant Lei Te, I have something to tell you. Lei Yi looked at Ye Lin coldly and asked, What is it? Ye Lin looked into the design department and inadvertently nced at Qiao Mu before smiling at Lei Yi. Assistant Lei, I want to talk to you about what happened in the parking lot yesterday.. Chapter 194 - 194: Ye Lin’s Smart Aleck Chapter 194: Ye Lins Smart Aleck Trantor: 549690339 The parking lot? What does Manager Ye mean? Lei Yi didnt understand at all. In Ye Lins eyes, Lei Yis performance was a deliberate act of feigning ignorance. Ye Lin smiled and didnt beat around the bush. She directly pointed it out, Assistant Lei Te, Im sure you know what you and Qiao Mu did in the CEOs car after work yesterday. Even Qiao Mu, a girl, admitted it. How can you, a man, hide in the car? Hearing this, Lei Yi understood what was going on. Of course, only the CEO was sitting in the CEOs car. It was obvious that Ye Lin had mistaken the CEO for him! The corners of Lei Yis mouth twitched. The young masters woman had been mistaken as his girlfriend. It was already very unfortunate for him to be dragged into the muddy water by a scapegoat like this, but now, he was even mistaken as the one in love with Qiao Mu in the car! Lei Yi felt a headache when he thought about the cold and disdainful attitude his young master had towards him recently. Ye Lin smiled. Assistant Reiter, if the CEO finds out that youve done such a thing, Im afraid it wont be good, right? He had made a mistake, and it was such a despicable mistake. Lei Yi was the special assistant of the CEO. He would definitely not lose face! Lei Yi smiled coldly. Since Manager Ye is so enthusiastic, then go and tell the CEO. Yeh Lins expression changed, and she continued to threaten, Assistant Lei Te, stuffing your girlfriend into thepany is neither a big nor a small matter. Even if you dont mind, what about Qiao Mu? Lei Yi understood Ye Lins meaning and asked directly, Manager Ye, just tell me your purpose! Ye Lin saw that the other party had taken the bait and smiled. Assistant Reiter, I dont have any ulterior motives. Its just that the design qualification for the real estate in the north of the city has been revoked by the president. I want to ask you to help me hand over the design qualification for this project to our design department. This matter wont harm thepany. You wont make things difficult for me, right? Lei Yi looked at Ye Lin coldly and did not respond. He turned around and left. Ye Lin curled her lips smugly. Being able to threaten a character like Lei Yi would save her a lot of trouble in the future! In Li Yans office, Lei Yi tactfully told Li Yan about this. Even though he had tried his best to distance himself from Li Yan, Li Yan still treated him coldly. Li Yans lips curled up slightly. Assistant Lei, youve been very lucky with women recently. Everyone in thepany is talking about you and your girlfriend from the design department. Lei Yi was speechless. Li Yan tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said nonchntly, Agree to her request. Lei Yi was stunned. Young Master was not easily threatened, not to mention that the other party was someone like Ye Lin who was not presentable. Immediately after, Li Yans lips curled up coldly. Shes in charge of such a big project. If she doesnt do it well, shell bear the consequences. Lei Yi understood and nodded. Lei Yi was very efficient. In the afternoon, the design department received a notice to hand over the project to Ye Lin. She would lead the design department to design a good n. Yeh Lin was in an extremely good mood. She generously said, Everyone will have to work harder in theing month. Ill treat everyone to dinner tonight. The design department was in an uproar. Ye Lin looked at Qiao Mu and said enthusiastically, Qiao Mu, you muste tonight. Qiao Mu did not know why Li Yan had given the project to Ye Lin again, but she was not interested in Ye Lins invitation at all. She tly rejected, lm not going, Manager Ye. I have something to do at home tonight.. Chapter 195 - 195: The Standard to Hook Up with a Tall, Rich, and Handsome Man Is Appearance! Chapter 195: The Standard to Hook Up with a Tall, Rich, and Handsome Man Is Appearance! Trantor: 549690339 Its a rare gathering, how can you be absent? Ye Lin said with a smile. I dont mind if you bring your family along. After all, your family members are also employees of thepany. Qiao Mu wanted to continue refusing, but Tang Jiajia persuaded her, Go on, Mu Mu. Lets have some fun. Manager Ye is treating us. Dont reject him. Just treat it as apanion. Qiao Mu nced at Ye Lin and didnt refuse. At night, Qiao Mu informed Li Yan beforehand and got his permission before having dinner with the design department. After the meal, Ye Lin said that she wanted to invite everyone to karaoke, so the group went to Glory of the Dark Night. In the private room, someone said, Sister Lin, youve really spent a lot of money today. A ce like the Glorious Dark Night is very expensive. This is my first time here. Its nothing, Ye Lin said nonchntly. My boyfriend is a VIP member here. He can get a huge discount. Everyone was surprised. Someone said enviously, Sister Lin, your boyfriend is amazing. The members of Glorious Dark Night arent open to the public. I heard that you have to spend more than six figures a year to be a VIP! Ye Lin smiled modestly. Its nothing. He just apanied a client here to have fun a few times. He can only earn money if he is willing to spend money with the client, right? Sun Ning scoffed and said sarcastically, Manager Yes boyfriend is indeed amazing, but men often go to ces like this. Its inevitable that theyll be attached to flowers and nts. Manager Ye, you have to keep an eye on him. After all, hes not married yet. Dont let anyone miss such a good boyfriend! The smile on Ye Lins lips deepened. She was very confident. Thank you for your concern. Im not worried about this. A sessful man must socialize. If I suspect him because of this, Im being too careless. Manager Ye is really knowledgeable. Sun Ning curled his lips and sneered. Then, his gazended on Qiao Mu. Xiao Qiao, do you have the right to participate in this topic? I wonder if you need to worry about Assistant Reiter? A man of his status like Assistant Reiter helps the president solve his problems all day long. He also has a lot of social gatherings. I think Assistant Reiter is already a WIP customer here, right? Qiao Mu was eating fruits and chatting with Tang Jiajia, so she ignored the argument between Ye Lin and Sun Ning. She didnt expect Sun Ning to suddenly change the topic to her, and everyones gaze shifted to her. Qiao Mu felt a little ufortable. Sun Ning was obviously deliberately using her to suppress Ye Lin. Qiao Mu raised her head and nced at Sun Ning. She smiled faintly and coldly replied, lm not sure either. VVIP membership costs seven figures a year! Assistant Reiter is so powerful, he must have reached it! Yes, yes. Assistant Reiter is handsome and capable, and the CEO especially values him. Qiao Mu, youre really amazing to be able to take Assistant Reiter down! Qiao Mu, there are many single women in our department. Quickly teach us how to hook up with tall, rich, and handsome men! The group of people who were envious of Ye Lin for having a good boyfriend immediately changed the topic to Qiao Mu. Ye Lins expression changed, but Sun Ning smiled very happily. A steady man like Reiter never flirts with female employees in thepany. Hes especially good at dealing with people. Qiao Mu, youre really lucky. Qiao Mu felt a wave of disgust in her heart. Initially, she had a good impression of Sun Ning and would help her with a little work, but now it seemed that he was just using her to deal with Ye Lin. Seemingly noticing Qiao Mus dilemma, Tang Jiajia smiled and said, Stop making a fuss. Let me tell you, the first criterion for hooking up with a tall, rich, and handsome man is his looks! Mumu is young and beautiful.. Shes a perfect match for someone like Assistant Reiter! Chapter 196 - 196: Could It Be That the President Likes Men? Chapter 196: Could It Be That the President Likes Men? Trantor: 549690339 After Tang Jiajia finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Qiao Mu. They had to admit that Qiao Mu was truly ridiculously beautiful. Her palm-sized face was as clean as a piece of white paper, and her big ck eyes were as clear as clear water. Her looks were really not something that ordinary people couldpare to. Initially, she thought that Qiao Mu had hooked up with a tall, rich, and handsome man, but after taking a closer look, she suddenly felt that Lei Yi wasnt a good match for her. At first, she thought that Qiao Mu must have some tricks up her sleeves to get into thepany through her connections. However, after interacting with her for a while, she realized that she was as easy to get along with as she appeared to be. She would ept any job that was given to her. Even if Ye Lin always made things difficult for her, she did not use her rtionship with Lei Yi to do anything in private. Knowing that Tang Jiajia was helping her out, Qiao Mu smiled and said, Jiajia, do you mean that I only have good looks? Of course not. Youre only 18 years old. You dont even need to go to university yet. Your potential will be limitless in the future. Assistant Reiter is really brilliant. Hes already taken over you so early. No one can have any ideas about you in the future! Qiao Mu burst intoughter. Only now did she realize that Tang Jiajia was so eloquent! After Tang Jiajia changed the topic, no one asked about Qiao Mu and Lei Yis rtionship anymore. Ye Lin coldly looked at Qiao Mu. Her glory had been snatched away by Qiao Mu, so she was very gambling in her heart. She lightly smiled and said, Assistant Lei Te is indeed amazing, but my boyfriend isnt as amazing as him. He has to be responsible for the presidents diet and daily life, from work to private life. I cant find a boyfriend like Assistant Lei Te. Hes so busy and doesnt have time to apany me. After Ye Lin finished speaking, Sun Ning smiled and said without Qiao Mu saying anything, The president trusts Assistant Reiter, thats why he put him in an important position. In thepany, Assistant Reiters status is equivalent to the vice president. Its only right for a man to be busy. In thepany, everyone knew Lei Yis status. Ye Lins words meant that Lei Yi was just an assistant and nothing special, but Sun Nings words blocked her meaning. Suddenly, someone said, Career-oriented men are especially likable. For example, our CEO. I wonder what kind of man he likes! Forget it. President, dont worry about it. Just take a look from afar to satisfy your craving. However, Im very curious if you have a girlfriend. The CEO is so perfect. No woman can match him! If he has to have someone he likes, I hope that the other party is a man so that he can feel more bnced! President has never had any scandals with any woman. Could it be that he really likes men? Qiao Mu was speechless. This group of people was really too gossipy. If Li Yan heard these words, they would probably lose their lives. What nonsense are you talking about? Ye Lin said coldly. How could the CEO like men?! Manager Ye, why are you so agitated? Everyone was just joking. Could it be that Manager Ye still has some fantasies about the president? Sun Ning smiled. Im not married yet. Even if I have any intentions, is it against thew? Ye Lin retorted rudely. You, on the other hand, are a few years older than the CEO and are already married. You dont have any chance at all. Sun Nings expression changed. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Lin stood up. Im going to the washroom. Ye Lin walked out of the private room and walked to the corner. However, she saw Li Yan walking towards her. She was so excited that she stopped in her tracks. Ye Lin smiled warmly. President, what a coincidence.. Youre here for business? Chapter 197 - 197: The Cold-looking Man’s Smile Was So Gentle Chapter 197: The Cold-looking Mans Smile Was So Gentle Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan shot a cold nce at Ye Lin. It was just a nce, but it was as if he did not see anything. He took steady steps and walked past Ye Lin without stopping for a moment. Ye Lins expression turned ugly after being hit by Li Yans attitude. Although she knew that Li Yan had always been a cold person and would only nod coldly when greeting her in thepany, he was toozy to even nod outside thepany. She stood at the side like air. She clenched her fists tightly. Just as Ye Lin was adjusting her awkward mood, she saw the man walking past her stop. Ye Lin was delighted and said with a smile, President, whats the matter? Li Yan took two steps forward and remembered that the little one was having dinner with the design department today. He stopped and turned to look at Ye Lin. Manager Ye, why are you here? Ye Lin was extremely excited. Li Yan actually cared about why she was here! Ye Lin was still smiling. President, Ill treat the people in the department to some entertainment today so that they can focus on the big project at hand. What Ye Lin meant was that in order to increase the efficiency of the design department, she would pay for the meal out of her own pocket. Seeing that Li Yans expression did not change, Ye Lin probed, President, if you dont mind, you cane and join us. Alright. This simple word stunned Ye Lin. Ye Lin was just saying it casually. She did not expect Li Yan to attend their gathering. She just wanted to perform well in front of Li Yan, but who knew that Li Yan would actually agree! What did this mean? Li Yan attached great importance to her design department! Lei Yi, who was standing behind him, said, Young Master, I have something to do. I want to go back first. Assistant Reiter, Ye Lin kindly hinted, l everyone from the design department is here. Shall wee together? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Lets go sit together. Lei Yi felt a headacheing on. Everyone in the design department thought that there was something going on between him and Qiao Mu. If he followed them, wouldnt he be asking for trouble? At this moment, Li Yans phone rang. He took out his phone and opened WeChat. When he saw the content of the message, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His tough and cold face instantly warmed up. Ye Lin was stunned. She had never seen such an expression on Li Yans face. How could a man who was always cold and distant smile so gently? Could it be that Li Yan really had someone he liked? No way. Such a perfect man, even she did not dare to have any thoughts that she should not have. How could a woman arouse his interest? Perhaps the person who sent him the message was his mother! Of course, Ye Lin did not know that the person who sent Li Yan the message was Qiao Mu. In the private room, Qiao Mu hugged her phone in boredom and sent a message to Li Yan. Uncle, are you home? Im so bored. Tang Jiajia was the only one she could chat with. Tang Jiajia had gone to sing, and she was bored alone. She wanted to end the game as soon as possible. Very soon, Li Yan replied with a line of words: It wont be boring in a while. Qiao Mu furrowed her brows in confusion. What did this mean? At this moment, the door was pushed open. Ye Lin returned. The people in the room looked at the door and instantly fell silent. Qiao Mu was still looking down at her phone and studying the meaning behind Li Yans words. She did not notice that the atmosphere was a little off at all. President President! Suddenly, someone called out, his voice filled with shock.. Chapter 198 - 198: Young Master Li Was Full of Jealousy Chapter 198: Young Master Li Was Full of Jealousy Trantor: 549690339 Only then did Qiao Mu raise her head and follow everyones gaze, and thenHe was also stunned! Li Yan had actually appeared in front of her? At this moment, she immediately understood the meaning of the text message! Ye Lin smiled. I saw it outside. President, President knows that were having a gathering. He came over to have a seat. The group of people stood up and greeted Li Yan. Li Yan walked into the room with an indifferent expression. His gaze swept across the room andnded on Qiao Mus face. The corners of his lips curled up as he said indifferently, You guys continue. Dont worry about me. Qiao Mu lowered her head uneasily when Li Yan stared at her in public. She looked at the content of their conversation before continuing to send him messages in all seriousness.Uncle, why are you here? Li Yan felt his phone vibrate, but he ignored it. He strode over to the sofa, and someone stood up to give up his seat in a fawning manner. However, Li Yan didnt even nce at it and walked straight to Qiao Mus side before sitting down leisurely. That seat was originally Tang Jiajias. Tang Jiajia went to the front to sing, so the seat became empty. The people in the room thought that Lei Yi woulde over and sit next to Qiao Mu, but they did not expect Li Yan to be sitting there. Lei Yi, who was standing at the side, quietly found a seat further away and sat down, drawing a clear line. Ye Lin coldly nced at Qiao Mu. Why did she get to take all the good stuff! A female colleague came up to Ye Lin and asked softly, Sister Lin, how did you get the CEO toe over? How can we invite the CEO to a gathering like this? Ye Lins lips curled up and she smiled disapprovingly. No matter what, Im still the manager of the design department. The CEO will still give me this bit of face. Sun Nings expression turned cold. Although he felt that Ye Lin would not have such a high status, not everyone could invite someone like Li Yan. Could it be that the CEO really had something to do with Ye Lin? Sun Ning frowned. If Ye Lin really caught the CEOs eye, then she would have no ce to stand! In order to probe Ye Lin and Li Yans rtionship, Sun Ning smiled and said, Manager Ye, the CEO is here. Shouldnt you pour him a drink? Ye Lin smiled as she walked towards Li Yan and poured him a ss of wine. President, we dont have any good wine here. Please dont mind. Li Yan nced at her indifferently and said coldly, 1 dont drink. This cold attitude that did not give her any face made Ye Lins expression a little awkward. Sun Ning smiled coldly. She was really thinking too much. Why would the CEO like someone like Ye Lin? When he looked at Li Yan and Qiao Mu sitting together, Sun Ning suddenly realized that one of them was extremely handsome while the other was beautiful. They were quitepatible! Ye Lin also noticed it. Although she did not want to admit it, Qiao Mus face was so beautiful that it made people jealous! Feeling stifled, Ye Lin said to Lei Yi on the other side, Assistant Reiter, what do you want to drink? Why dont you get Qiao Mu to pour you a ss of wine? Lei Yi was speechless. Qiao Mu was speechless. He really brought up a sore spot! After Ye Lin finished speaking, Li Yans eyes darkened slightly, and a chill spread out. Only Qiao Mu and Lei Yi understood why. Qiao Mu smiled awkwardly. Manager Ye, dont joke around. Im not a drinking partner. Lei Yi immediately stood up and said indifferently, lm going to the washroom. If he stayed any longer, he would probably die a miserable death! Li Yan crossed his legs. His voice was faint, but it contained a hint of coldness that was hard to fathom. Manager Ye, Lei Yis influence is really big.. He even made you specially send someone to pour wine for him? Chapter 199 - 199: A Girlfriend As Stupid As A Pig Chapter 199: A Girlfriend As Stupid As A Pig Trantor: 549690339 Other than Qiao Mu, who was the person involved, no one else would understand the coldness hidden in Li Yans words. Ye Lin smiled warmly. President, what would you like to drink? Ill pour it for you. Upon hearing this, Li Yan merely raised his eyelids and ignored Ye Lin. Ye Lin felt extremely awkward being ignored by Li Yan in front of so many people. Qiao Mu silently watched the show. No matter what, Ye Lin was a woman, and this Young Master Li was too disrespectful. Seeing Ye Lins embarrassed expression, Qiao Mu felt greatlyforted. It seemed that there were not many people who had such a good mental fortitude and could handle Li Yan with ease like her. Li Yan took out his phone and opened WeChat. When he saw the message that the little one had sent him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His fingers tapped on the phone screen a few times. Perhaps it was because Li Yans expression had warmed up a little, someone took the opportunity to muster up the courage to ask, President, are you texting your girlfriend? As soon as he asked this question, someone else said,How is that possible? How can the CEO have a girlfriend? I saw the CEOs name on the list of golden bachelors in a magazine previously! Everyones gaze fell on Li Yan, including Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes, extremely curious about how he would answer. Li Yan slowly sent out the text message. He raised his head and raised his eyebrows slightly. His thin lips moved. Do I have to report to you guys that I have a girlfriend? These words were said lightly, as if he was indirectly admitting that he already had a girlfriend. Qiao Mu was slightly stunned. He did not deny that he had a girlfriend, as this was not his style. As if seeing that Li Yan was in a good mood, someone asked,President, there are many people in thepany who adore you. I think Presidents girlfriend must be very outstanding! Li Yan nonchntly nced at Qiao Mu, and she immediately lowered her head to look at her phone guiltily. Then, she heard the man beside her say in a low voice, Not considered outstanding. Qiao Mus grip on her phone tightened, and her heart suddenly wavered, causing her to lose her cool. Was he talking about her? She had always been by his side and had already moved into his house. She was sure that there were no other women by his side. So, he was talking about her? Li Yans answer made the group of people even more impudent. Someone ttered, There must be something special about a woman that the CEO likes! Qiao Mu nodded in agreement. Of course, she was special! Li Yan took in Qiao Mus nod, and the corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile. Shes indeed very special. Shes as stupid as a pig. Everyone was speechless. Qiao Mu was speechless. F * ck! She wasnt sure if he was talking about her just now, but in the blink of an eye, she was sure that it was really her! But why didnt he feel happy at all? Was he joking on purpose to make everyone happy? He always said that she was as stupid as a pig. Could he be any more overboard? Ye Linughed when she heard this. She was very disappointed when she heard that Li Yan had a girlfriend. However, she was sure that Li Yan was joking. Who would say that about their girlfriend? Qiao Mu was a little unwilling to give up and revealed a gossipy expression. She looked at Li Yan and asked, President, are you joking? Your girlfriend is definitely not as bad as you say. Otherwise, why would you like her? [Todays update is over. Ill continue tomorrow.. Please rmend me Chapter 200 - 200: Being Teased in Public Chapter 200: Being Teased in Public Trantor: 549690339 Although she knew that she was not his girlfriend, since he was talking about her, she had to at least regain some face! Li Yan raised his eyebrows and stared at Qiao Mu with a heavy gaze. Oh? Do you think its bad? But I think that stupidity is her strength. Qiao Mu was speechless. Although they could not tell if the girlfriend Li Yan mentioned was real or just a joke, there were still people who ttered him. They say that when two people are together, theyplement each other. The CEOs IQ is unparalleled. Naturally, you dont have to be too smart to find a girlfriend! Yeah, the CEOs girlfriend is really blessed. The CEO can handle everything. She doesnt need to use her brain. The other party must be a young miss from some family, right? The CEO is so protective of her. He must care about her very much! Qiao Mu pursed her lips. What a bunch of bootlickers. Feeling Li Yans ambiguous gaze sweeping over, Qiao Mu lowered her head and continued to pretend to look at her phone. It was only then that she saw the message he had sent her. Do you still feel bored? The corners of Qiao Mus lips twitched involuntarily. It was no longer as simple as being bored, but rather, uneasy, alright? At this moment, she suddenly sensed a male scent approaching her. Qiao Mu raised her head and was stunned to discover that Li Yan was approaching her. Li Yan was very dissatisfied with Qiao Mus cold attitude in public. The more she deliberately kept her distance from him, the more he wanted to tease her. He leaned over to her side and leaned his face close to her ear. His lips were almost touching her ear as he said in a low voice, Your man is right beside you, yet youre using your phone to send a message. Have you ever thought about how your man feels? Qiao Mu frozepletely! Such an intimate action was normal for two people to interact in private, but this was a public ce! He looked around the room and saw that everyone was looking at them in surprise. Ye Lin stared at this scene with an ugly expression. Li Yans lips curled up slightly. His facial expression could not be seen clearly in the shadows, nor could she hear what he said. However, looking at it from this angle, it was like a couple whispering. Li Yan, who had never been close to others, had always treated others coldly. However, at this moment, he took the initiative to approach an employee! Qiao Mu panicked, and under everyones shocked and confused gazes, she stood up. She smiled nonchntly and looked down at Li Yan. President, why didnt you tell me earlier that you were thirsty? I was sitting next to you and Im sorry for not serving you well. After saying this, the others slowly recovered from their shock. It turned out that they were not whispering. It was just that the CEO was thirsty and wanted to drink water! Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. This little things reaction was really fast. When he saw her hand over a ss of water, the corners of his mouth curled up and he raised his hand to receive it. As hisrge hand held the cup, he wrapped around Qiao Mus hand as if he was teasing her. His fingers lightly rubbed against her hand, and Qiao Mu instantly felt like she was being taken advantage of by a pervert! Qiao Mus hand trembled when she was teased in front of everyone. She was caught off guard, and she let go of the cup before Li Yan could even hold it. The cup fell to the ground and the water spilled out. Li Yan moved to the side elegantly and quickly. Although he reacted quickly, his pants were still drenched. Qiao Mu was shocked. She immediately took a tissue and wiped Li Yans pants haphazardly. She cursed him in her heart and apologized, lm sorry, President. I didnt do it on purpose! Qiao Mus actions shocked everyone again! Where was she wiping? Chapter 201 - 201: The Man Behind Qjao Mu Is Actually Li Yan! Chapter 201: The Man Behind Qjao Mu Is Actually Li Yan! Trantor: 549690339 Where was she wiping? Her hand was actually touching the CEOsCrotch! This girl was usually quite reliable, but he didnt expect her to use such a method to seduce the CEO! Everyones gaze fell on Li Yan, waiting for his next reaction. Li Yans eyes narrowed slightly, and he grabbed the hand that was groping around. Qiao Mu looked up at Li Yan in confusion, only to hear him say coldly, 111 do it myself. Qiao Mu was stunned and immediately withdrew her hand. His attitude instantly turned cold. She had identally wet his pants, so was he angry? How petty! Qiao Mu pursed her lips, and Li Yan stood up immediately after. He lowered his head and nced at his wet pants before striding out of the room. Where are you going, President? Ye Lin asked hurriedly. The washroom! He coldly threw out these three words and left. The moment Li Yan left, the atmosphere in the room became heated. Tang Jiajia moved closer to Qiao Mu and whispered, Mu Mu, youre too bold. How dare you touch the CEO so impudently just now! Hmm? I was helping him wipe his pants! Qiao Mu was very innocent. There was nothing wrong with her helping him wipe his pants in the sudden situation just now, right? What kind of person is the CEO? No one dares to touch him, but you still dare to wipe his pants. Didnt you see how cold his face was when he went out just now? He must really mind you touching him, but fortunately, he didnt do anything to you. Li Yan was angry. It was obvious that she had wet his pants, not because of her touch. If this little touch could make that man reject her, then why did he seem to enjoy bemg Intimate with her every night( Qiao Mu, you already have Reiters help. Are you still going to have ideas about the CEO? Ye Lin said coldly. Whats wrong with young people these days? Theyre really restless! Qiao Mu smiled nonchntly. Manager Ye, you seem to be especially enthusiastic towards the CEO. I only identally drenched the CEOs pants. Do you have to be so angry? Without waiting for Ye Lin to speak, Sun Ning smiled and said, Thats right. The person who was trying to curry favor with the CEO just now seemed to be you, Manager Ye, right? Didnt you just say that the CEO came because of you? But I dont think the CEO likes you that much! Ye Lins expression instantly turned extremely ugly. She sneered, If the CEO didnte because of me, could it be because of you? The atmosphere in the room was very bad. Qiao Mu came out to get some fresh air and waited for Li Yan while she was at it. She begged this man to hurry home. There was no sign of Li Yan in the corridor, so Qiao Mu strolled leisurely. When she passed by a door, it suddenly opened. Before she could react, a force swiftly dragged her into the room. Shocked, he was about to shout when a maic and familiar voice sounded in his ear.lts me. When Qiao Mu saw the mans face clearly, she heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Uncle, you scared me to death! You still know fear? Li Yans lips curled into a smile. He leaned his petite body against the wall and leaned his head close to her face. You were pretending not to know me just now. Little thing, are you addicted to having sex with me? Qiao Mus face instantly turned red. What stealing! Did he not learn Chinese well enough? How could he use random words! Recalling what he said in the private room earlier, Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes at him.. Uncle, do you really have a girlfriend? Chapter 202 - 202: The Man Behind Cüao Mu Is Actually Li Yan!2 Chapter 202: The Man Behind Cao Mu Is Actually Li Yan!2 Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, What do you think? If your girlfriend isnt me, then were really having an affair. If your girlfriend is me, then were not having an affair! Qiao Mu grinned, and a glimmer of light shed across herrge eyes. Uncle, are we considered to be having an affair? The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. The little thing had be smarter. She was indirectly asking about their rtionship! His arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to him. His lips were almost touching hers. His thin lips moved, and the hot air from his mouth blew onto her face. Such an ambiguous action made Qiao Mus face flush red, and she felt her entire face burning hot. Immediately after, the mans low and hoarse voice almost sucked her lips as he said only two words,Not really. Qiao Mus eyes instantly widened, and her brain was so slow that it lost its ability to react. There was only one word echoing in his mind, No! If it wasnt an affair, did that mean that she was the girlfriend he was talking nhnllt? Looking at the face that was so close to her, she wanted to get to the bottom of it and ask more questions. However, just as she opened her mouth, the mans kiss suddenly came, as if he wanted to swallow her up. Qiao Mu only felt her head go dizzy. This kind of kiss was not something she had never experienced before, but at this moment, it made her feel as light as a feather. Just as Qiao Mus body went limp from the kiss, the mans voice rang in her ears again. Little thing, you seem to like the feeling of stealing the clear. Since thats the case, then Ill reluctantly cooperate with you this once. This man was simply shameless! Her body lightened, and by the time Qiao Mu reacted, she had already been lifted up and ced on the bar counter. His scaldingrge hand reached directly into her clothes. Qiao Mus body stiffened, and the mans lips pressed against hers again. Mm Uncle! Not here! Why? Werent you touching me in public just now? Werent you impatient? Qiao Mu wanted to cry. Uncle, if you want to be a hooligan, lets go home and y, okay? Not good. Youre the only one allowed to be a hooligan to me at any time. Isnt this unfair? Hisrge hand pinched her waist, and Qiao Mus body instantly went limp, and she could not even sit properly. She bit her lips tightly and red at him with a red face. Her eyes were filled with anger and pleading. Li Yan looked at her pitiful appearance and his body suddenly tensed up. Just now in the private room, this little thing touched his crotch without restraint. If he hadnt stopped her in time, he was afraid that she would have aroused his interest. She really had no idea how attractive she was to him! Although he really wanted to teach her a lesson on the spot, if he really did anything to her on such an asion, she was afraid that she would be so thin-skinned that she would definitely be angry with him afterward. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. After Qiao Mu left the private room, the more Ye Lin thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. Qiao Mu followed closely behind Li Yan. Could she be up to something? Then, Ye Lin walked out of the room and suddenly saw Qiao Mu being dragged into the room by a ck shadow. She did not see who the man was, but she knew without thinking that it was definitely Lei Yi! These two people really did this kind of thing regardless of the asion. They had pretended to be strangers in the room just now, and now they had finally exposed themselves! Ye Lin had been pacing outside the door for a long time. She had caught hold of these two people again, so she could not let them off just like that. [There are two more updatester..] Chapter 203 - 203: The Man Behind Qjao Mu Is Actually Li Yan!3 Chapter 203: The Man Behind Qjao Mu Is Actually Li Yan!3 Trantor: 549690339 Ye Lin raised her hand and knocked on the door. However, when she knocked on the door, a voice suddenly sounded behind her. Manager Ye, what are you doing? Yeh Lin turned her head abruptly and realized that the man behind her was Lei Yi! If Lei Yi was here, then who was the man in the room? For such a long time, the two people in the room did note out. They must be doing something shameful! Ye Lin quickly suppressed her thoughts and smiled at Lei Yi. Assistant Reiter, why are you here? Qiao Mu isnt with you? Lei Yi looked at Ye Lin expressionlessly. Manager Ye, youd better not keep your eyes on Qiao Mu. Shes not someone you can afford to offend. When Ye Lin heard this, she could not help butugh out loud. Assistant Reiter, are you threatening me? Dont forget that you still have the CEO above you. Dont even think about using your status to suppress me! I believe that the CEO is fair and just! Lei Yi nced coldly at Ye Lin, turned around, and left. How could you let Lei Yi go at such an exciting time? Assistant Reiter, dont you want to know where Qiao Mu is now? Ye Lin asked. Lei Yis footsteps did not stop as Ye Lin continued, 1 just saw Qiao Mu enter this room with a man. Assistant Reiter, is Qiao Mu really worth it for you to treat her so well? She was very scheming in seducing the CEO in the room just now. I think shes just using you as adder to climb up, right? Hearing this, Lei Yi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ye Lin. Ye Lins hand had already grabbed the door handle. Let me give you a piece of advice. Its best if you dont open this door! Lei Yi said coldly. Ye Lin curled her lips disapprovingly. She did not take Lei Yis words seriously at all. She twisted the doorknob downward and pushed the door open with force. And then The two bodies hugging each other in the room stopped at the same time. The lights in the room were not turned on. Ye Lin stood at the door for a while before she got used to the darkness inside and saw the two people inside clearly. She widened her eyes in shock and looked at Qiao Mu in disbelief. The man with Qiao Mu was actuallyLi Yan? How was this possible? How could it be Li Yan! Inside the room, Qiao Mu was startled by the sudden intrusion of the person. When she saw the person, she immediately pushed Li Yan away and jumped down from the wine cab to tidy her clothes. She red at Li Yan fiercely, telling him to ignore the situation. Now, she had been discovered! Ye Lin opened her mouth and only managed to speak after a long time.President President? Li Yan slowly patted the creases on his clothes. He raised his eyes and looked coldly at Ye Lin. His voice was cold and sinister. Who allowed you to barge in? Ye Lins legs went weak from that re. She turned to look at Lei Yi. Assistant Reiter, isnt Qiao Mu your girlfriend? Lei Yi did not say anything. He only felt that Ye Lin was very stupid. He still did not understand what was going on! Ye Lin thought that Lei Yi did not dare to show that he had a rtionship with Qiao Mu in front of Li Yan, so she red at Qiao Mu angrily. Qiao Mu, as Lei Yis girlfriend, you seduced the CEO! How could she be so shameless and do such a dirty thing! Ye Lin felt a wave of crazy jealousy in her heart. She had always looked up to Li Yan, a lofty figure. Even if she had the intention to spy on him, she would never dare to do anything. However, she did not expect that she would be seduced by a little girl like Qiao Mu! Qiao Mu looked at Ye Lins stance of standing up for Lei Yi and kindly exined, Manager Ye, Ive never admitted that Im Assistant Leis girlfriend.. Chapter 204 - 204: The Man Behind Qjao Mu Is Actually Li Yan! Chapter 204: The Man Behind Qjao Mu Is Actually Li Yan! Trantor: 549690339 Ye Lins eyes widened abruptly. Only then did she realize that Lei Yi did not show the slightest bit of surprise when he saw this scene. He looked as if he was used to seeing Qiao Mu and Li Yan together! No! That was definitely not the case! There must be a mistake somewhere! Ye Lin had been certain of the rtionship between Qiao Mu and Lei Yi from the very beginning, but she had never personally witnessed the two of them together! Even thest time in the parking lot, she only saw Qiao Mu and did not see clearly who the man in the car was! Now that he thought about it, Li Yan must have graced them with attending their gathering because Qiao Mu was there! She even told others that Li Yan was giving her face! She was like a fool, threatening Lei Yi while pretending to be smart. Unknowingly, she had already offended Li Yan! She had targeted Qiao Mu time and time again. She thought that Qiao Mu was Lei Yis girlfriend and posed no threat to her, but how could she have expected that the man behind Qiao Mu was Li Yan! Ye Lin finally understood what Lei Yi meant when he said, Shes not someone you can afford to offend ! Since their rtionship had been exposed, Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Manager Ye, Im sorry to have shocked you. I hid this rtionship because I didnt want to get special treatment in thepany. However, you seem to have been paying close attention to my affairs, so you still found out. Following Qiao Mus words, Ye Lins expression became increasingly unsightly. The subordinate who was usually under hermand was now very arrogant! Ye Lin clenched her fists tightly and suppressed the hatred in her heart. She looked at Li Yan, unwilling to face reality. President, ourpany has a rule that we cant date in thepany. As the president, shouldnt you set an example? After saying this, Qiao Mu felt that there would be a good show to watch. If Ye Lin was tactful enough to pretend that she didnt see anything and walked away quietly, then todays matter would be forgotten. Unfortunately, she really did not understand Li Yans character. How could he let others teach him how to do things? As expected, Li Yans lips curled into a sinister smile. His expression was even colder than when he was not smiling. It was extremely cold. His thin lips moved and spat out two words, So? Ye Lin looked into those ck eyes and felt her legs go weak. She had no confidence, but she still braced herself and said, President, in order to prevent others from gossiping, shouldnt you ask Qiao Mu to leave thepany? Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu tilted her head to look at Li Yan. That expression was truly too frightening! Li Yan narrowed his eyes. If Im not mistaken, are you threatening me? The mans voice was bone-chilling like the Rakshasa from hell. Ye Lins face turned pale. Then, she heard Li Yans voice again.Ye Lin, I can hire you and fire you at the same time. If you dont know your identity, I can make you remember it! As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lins legs went weak and she took a step back. Her body leaned weakly against the wall and she almost fell to the ground. Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand and walked out of the room. When she passed by Ye Lin, Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her. Manager Ye, youll help me keep what I saw a secret, right? After all, Ill only be interning in thepany for a month. You dont have to chase me away. Ill leave after the internship. You dont have to go through so much trouble. Ye Lin only felt a lump in her chest that suffocated her, but Li Yan had already left with Qiao Mu. [ 5 Ill continue tomorrow. Im looking for rmendation votes..] Chapter 205 - 205: Do I Have an Aunty? Chapter 205: Do I Have an Aunty? Trantor: 549690339 The car drove on the road. Qiao Mu looked at the man driving beside her and asked, Uncle, why did you hand over the big project of Chengbei Real Estate to Ye Lin? Li Yan said calmly, She used your rtionship with Lei Yi to threaten him, so I took the opportunity to fulfill her wish. Qiao Mu was sweating profusely. Ye Lin was truly stupid. Although she did not understand Li Yans motive for doing this, she was sure that Li Yan was not that kind. Ye Lin was really asking for trouble. Qiao Muughed and rubbed her face against Li Yans body. Uncle, you always say that Im stupid. Now, do you realize that theres someone even dumber than me? Li Yan looked at Qiao Mus little face that was pressing against his and kissed her. Be good, dont be so impatient to send yourself to my mouth. Well y hooligan when we get home. Qiao Mu was speechless. y your sister! Cant we have a good chat? Qiao Mu took out her phone and was about to y a game when she realized that her phone had run out of battery. She sneaked her hand into Li Yans pocket and felt for his phone. Just as she was about to steal it, the mans gaze swept over. Little thing, do you think that its better to be sneaky all the time? F * ck, Qiao Mu suddenly recalled what he said about stealing a sunny day, and her expression instantly became unnatural! She took out his phone and took it out openly. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. He really liked to tease this little thing. There were no games on Li Yans phone, so Qiao Mu scrolled through it out of boredom. Suddenly, she saw WeChat and clicked on it out of curiosity. There were very few friends in his WeChat contact list. To be precise, there were only two. One was her, and the other was a woman named Little Red Riding Hood. Qiao Mu was stunned. Just as she was extremely curious about the other partys identity, she saw a message from Little Red Riding Hood. Baby, what are you doing? Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes slightly. Treasure? Someone actually called Li Yan baby! The message was sent tonight, and the message was read. However, Li Yan did not reply to the other party. In that case, the other party was not important, right? If it wasnt important, why would he add her as a friend? Li Yan was not someone who would casually add others as friends! Qiao Mu instantly felt a little upset, and her good mood from before was gone. She stared at the message for a long time, and with an unknown mindset, she directly replied, Your baby is on my bed! Qiao Mu raised her head and nced at the man driving beside her. She snorted and called out mischievously, Treasures? The sudden voice made Li Yan raise his eyebrows slightly. He turned to look at Qiao Mu, and his gaze swept across the phone in her hand. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said indifferently, What are you studying with my phone? Could it be that you want to see if Ive done anything behind your back? Qiao Mu blinked. Then did you do it? Im very satisfied with your performance. I dont have the energy yet! Li Yan smiled ambiguously. Qiao Mu snorted. Pervert! Qiao Mu looked down at her phone and realized that the other party had actually replied! Little Red Riding Hood, [You actually hid your woman from me!] This tone was really the style of a hostess! Qiao Mu bit her lip, and her grip on her phone tightened. She looked up at Li Yan. Uncle, do I have an auntie now? He had clearly said that she was his girlfriend tonight and that their rtionship was not an affair.. It was open and aboveboard, but now, such a woman had appeared! Chapter 206 - 206: Provoking “Auntie” in Public Chapter 206: Provoking Auntie in Public Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu had never thought that Li Yan would have another woman besides her. Although their rtionship was unclear, at least he only treated her well! She did not expect that there would be someone who was closer to him than her. If the other party was not special, why would he allow others to call him baby? Thinking about how good this man was to her, how vicious he was to her, and how shameless he was to her, she felt suffocated. Qiao Mu secretly exhaled to ease her suppressed emotions. She looked up and met the mans gaze, waiting for his answer. Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu indifferently and took in her expression. The corners of his lips curled up. Why do you suddenly ask this? Who is this Little Red Riding Hood in your WeChat? Could she be my auntie? Qiao Mu felt very ufortable inside. Although she wanted to show that she didnt think much of it, it was inevitable that her tone would be a little harsh. After he finished speaking, he felt suffocated in his heart and pursed his lips in disgust. Its so disgusting for a grown man like you to be called baby by her! Perhaps Qiao Mu herself did not realize that her tone was full of jealousy. The smile on Li Yans face deepened. His ck eyes stared at her small face as if he wanted to see every expression on her face. This little thing was really adorable when she was jealous. Qiao Mus heart sank bit by bit before she could get a reply. There was no need to reply at all, he had already tacitly admitted it! He lowered his head and replied to Little Red Riding Hood:Your baby has more than one woman. Do you still need to hide this kind of thing? Little Red Riding Hood replied, [My baby has never messed around with men and women.] My. Home. Treasure. Shell! This form of address made Qiao Mus mood extremely terrible! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth. Youre not by his side. How do you know what he did? Qiao Mus phone rang shortly after she sent the message. The caller was an unknown number, and it was from the United States! She was indeed Li Yans woman in United States! Qiao Mu had the urge to throw her phone out of the window. She suppressed the frustration in her heart and looked up at Li Yan. Uncle, its inconvenient for you to answer the phone while driving. Ill help you answer it! After saying that, she picked up the phone without his permission. Li Yan tilted his head to look at Qiao Mu, but he did not stop her. This little things performance today was truly beyond his expectations. Qiao Mu picked up the call and said with a smile, Hey, who are you looking The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds before a female voice sounded.You were the one who sent me a message just now? Oh, so youre Auntie! Hello, Uncle is driving and cant answer the phone. Auntie? Thats right. Li Yan is my uncle. Arent you my aunt? Ive only heard of goddaughters and godsisters. This is the first time Ive heard of someone taking in a godnephew? The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. The other party was discussing this issue with her very seriously! She nced at Li Yan. She thought that Li Yan would take the phone away angrily, but the man beside her was smiling as if he was watching a good show. Li Yans reaction made Qiao Mu feel that something was very wrong. On the other end of the phone, her aunties behavior was even more abnormal! Qiao Mu thought for a moment and said provocatively, Aunt, it looks like you really dont know Uncle very well. Uncles tastes are extraordinarily heavy! After saying this, Qiao Mu shot Li Yan a provocative look, and her heart was filled with delight.. Chapter 207 - 207: I Don I t Mind You Showing Your Affection to Others Chapter 207: I Don I t Mind You Showing Your Affection to Others Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan felt a little helpless. This little thing really had no restraint. If he continued, it would really be difficult to handle. The car stopped in the courtyard of the Li familys vi. Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu and smiled. I dont mind you showing off your affection to others, but you have to find the right partner before you do so. Qiao Mu was stunned. Before she could understand what Li Yan meant, she heard him say, Give me your phone. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. He couldnt bear to listen anymore. Was he trying to protect his aunt? She bit her lip and stuffed the phone into Li Yans hands. She opened the car door and left without looking back. She was not going to be a third wheel in the car. She was not going to disturb their romance! Li Yan narrowed his eyes as he watched the little one leave angrily. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up bit by bit. That handsome face revealed an extremely evil smile in the night, like a demon. Li Yan only retracted his gaze after a few hello sounds came from the phone. He ced the phone to his ear and said calmly, lm here. The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely serious. Mr. Li, did you really sleep with your little nephew? . Shes not my nephew. Thats not the main point, okay? The main point is whether you slept or not. Dont change the topic! The other party raised his voice and confirmed again, Yes or no? Yes. A simple word immediately caused the other party to scream. Its that Qiao Yes. How old are you now? 18 years old. Li Yan answered all his questions. Oh my god! Shes only a 19-year-old girl, and youre already attacking her. How did I give birth to such an inhumane son?! The womans voice immediately became excited, but there was no anger in her voice. In the next moment, she became very excited. But I have to be honest, son. You did a great job! He should have struck first! As expected of my good baby! Li Yan was speechless. Then, the womans voice sounded again. But whats wrong with auntie? Dont tell me you havent taken her down yet! . Mom, are you here to gossip about my private affairs? What private matters do you want to have in front of me? Your IQ is high but your EQis low. Do you want me to teach you a few moves? Mom, I still have something to do. Im hanging up. Wait, Ill say onest thing. Just now, the youngdy said that your taste is too strong. You have to take it easy. Shes only 19 years old. It wasnt easy for you to get a girlfriend. Dont scare her away. Li Yans face darkened and he hung up the phone. He knew that he shouldnt have allowed that little thing to spout nonsense! Qiao Muy on the bed, feeling extremely depressed. Li Yan had called for so long and still hadnte back. How much did they have to talk about for so long? Or was he trying to exin her identity to her? The more she thought about it, the more ufortable she felt. What was there for her to be angry about? They were not in a proper rtionship anyway. She had long known in her heart that she would not mind such a thing! However, even if they were not clear about each other, he could not have a girlfriend and still be with her! Wouldnt she be the third party? Qiao Mu felt suffocated. Thinking about how he was good to her and how he would be good to others, she felt her heart tighten. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Qiao Mu was stunned. She turned around to look at the tall figure at the door.. Chapter 208 - 208: Replacing Chapter 208: Recing Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu merely nced at Li Yan before retracting her gaze and closing her eyes to sleep. Li Yan did not mind Qiao Mus cold attitude at all. He was in a good mood as he looked at the petite figure under the nket. All this while, this little woman had always consciously treated herself as his bed and had never revealed any thoughts to him. Although he was angry and wanted to force her every time, the effect was not obvious. He had always thought that this little thing was really heartless and did not feel good about him at all. If it wasnt for the misunderstanding just now, he wouldnt have known that the little thing, who had always acted like she didnt care about him, would have such an intense reaction. It seemed that if he didnt provoke her, she wouldnt improve at all! Li Yan walked to the bedside and sat down beside Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu felt his approach and immediately pulled the nket over her head. Li Yan was helpless. He lifted the nket and revealed her little head. As if she was angry with him, he had just pulled the nket down when she covered her head again. Pulling it down, covering it, pulling it down again, covering it again. The two of them repeated the same action endlessly, as if they werepeting on whose patience was better. Qiao Mu couldnt take it anymore. She widened her eyes and red at Li Yan. What are you doing? I want to sleep, dont disturb me! Her attitude was very bad, but Li Yan was not annoyed. The corners of his lips curled into a faint smile as he stared deeply at Qiao Mu. Why? Are you jealous of your aunt? Qiao Mu was speechless. How could he be so bold and shameless to mention the word auntie! Qiao Mu snorted. Her tone was very unfriendly, and her expression was very unfriendly, but she forced herself to put on a very respectful attitude.l wouldnt dare! I was worried that Uncle would be angry at me for contradicting Auntie! Li Yan smiled faintly and said teasingly, lts okay. Shes very magnanimous. Shes not angry. Qiao Mu bit her lip. He was actually smiling! He was smiling happily. Did that auntie really have such an influence on him? She clenched her fists tightly under the nket and pulled the nket over her head again. She did not want to look at that handsome face when he smiled! Li Yan smiled helplessly. He was really like a child who had yet to grow up. He could tell at a nce that he was angry. This was his little thing. Just like ten years ago, her emotions were always on her face. When she was happy, she would smile happily, and her big eyes would narrow into crescents. When she was unhappy, she would pout her face in anger. Every time she threw a tantrum with him, she would clearly say that she hated him very much, but when she looked at him, she would look forward to him coaxing her. When she first started dating him, she was always scheming to please him. But gradually, she became more and more like the past. Li Yans heart softened instantly. He pulled the nket down and ced his hands on both sides of her head. Qiao Mu, let me tell you a way to vent your anger. Li Yans deep voice rang out, and Qiao Mus tightly shut eyes slowly opened. Then, she heard the mans low and deep voice, Take over! Qiao Mu was stunned. After a while, she reached out to Li Yan. Give me your phone. Hmm? Qiao Mu just couldnt bear to see Li Yan mention that woman in front of her so confidently. The more he treated her like this, the angrier she became. It was still the same sentence, even half a bed had dignity! Chapter 209 - 209: Officially Declaring War Chapter 209: Officially Dering War Trantor: 549690339 Why didnt he take her feelings seriously at all! What right did he have to tease her like this? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes and revealed a provocative smile. Uncle, didnt you encourage me to rece him? Then Ill officially dere war on auntie! Li Yans long and narrow eyes contained a hint of a smile as he handed the phone to Qiao Mu and said indifferently, You can dere war, but you should change the way you address her and call her Grandaunt. . Great aunt? Qiao Mu was so angry that she almost suffocated to death! This was simply too much! Was she supposed to cry and beg her to give up? Qiao Mu jumped up from the bed and pushed Li Yan away. She pointed at him angrily. Li Yan, you shouldnt bully people like this! Aunt is aunt, not grandaunt. Why should I be bullied by you? Dont I just owe you some money? Li Yan frowned slightly. This woman! She was getting bolder and bolder. She dared to be so arrogant in front of him. Li Yan sighed helplessly and looked up at the little woman who was standing in front of him aggressively. Sit down. I wont! Sit down! Qiao Mu raised her chin and swore to die! Li Yan was really at his wits end and said helplessly, Qiao Mu, youre really a pig. You Qiao Mu was about to retort, but Li Yan interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. Yu Tingyuns aunt? If shes not your great-aunt, then what is she? As Li Yan spoke, Qiao Mu was already prepared to retaliate, butJust as he was about to counterattack, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Yu Tingyuns aunt? Great aunt? Qiao Mu reacted in a daze for quite a while before an idea shed in her head and she suddenly reacted Her arrogance was slowly dissipating, and Qiao Mu asked with ack of confidence, Li Yan, dont tell me that person is your mother! Qiao Mu already had an answer the moment she asked the question, but she was still not sure. It was only when she saw Li Yan raise his eyelids as a silent admission that she waspletely stunned. so She Imew it. How could this man allow another woman to call him baby? Why didnt she think that the other party was his mother! However, his mother named him Little Red Riding Hood. This was too In an instant, all her arrogance disappeared and she knelt on the bed. Heavens! It was really her great-aunt. What did she say to her great-aunt? This man was obviously doing it on purpose. It was clearly just a matter of a sentence, but he refused to tell her and let her imagine it herself! Qiao Mu really had the urge to cover her face and crawl into the hole! Li Yan waved his phone in front of her and asked in a good mood, Do you still want to make a call? Hit your sister! Like a deted balloon, Qiao Mu silently crawled back into her nket. Li Yan leaned forward and hugged her petite body from behind. He said in a deep voice, Qiao Mu, you told my mom that I had a bad taste and attacked my own nephew. Then, you threw a tantrum at me. Do you think this matter will pass just like that? Qiao Mus face flushed red bit by bit. Although she was so embarrassed that she couldnt show her face, the restlessness and difort she felt just now instantly disappeared. The mans voice sounded again. Little thing, with your bad behavior, youve already offended me. How can you still sit in the position of auntie? Qiao Mu was speechless. [Happy Christmas Eve, its almost o oclock.. Happy Christmas, girls Chapter 210 - 210: Always Joking, I Will Take It Seriously Chapter 210: Always Joking, I Will Take It Seriously Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu really wanted to p him when she heard the mans mockingughter! Too much! Who wanted to be auntie? She didnt! Qiao Mu buried her face in the pillow and ignored the man who was teasing her, pretending to be dead without moving. However, he was secretly delighted. When she found out about her aunts existence, she was so angry that she almost went crazy. She was so depressed that she could not breathe and felt very ufortable. She had never harbored any fantasies about Li Yan, but when it came to matters rted to his other half, she really could not ept it! Qiao Mu raised her head and met those deep eyes. There was a faint smile in those flirtatious eyes, and those devilish eyes seemed to want to suck her in. Her heart skipped a beat. She raised her arm and took the initiative to wrap it around his neck. Uncle, even if its not me, can you not look for Auntie for the time being? Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of being rejected by him. Why? Li Yan narrowed his eyes and rubbed his face gently with hisrge hand. He looked at her with a heavy gaze. I dont want to be a third party, Qiao Mu lowered her eyes and said softly. Li Yans eyes shed, and the look in his eyes deepened. This woman! How could he say such words at a time like this! Since when did he want her to be the third party? He was furious, but he noticed that her big ck eyes were dimming. Instantly, her heart softened. He knew that this girl was very insecure. Because of her childhood experiences, although her appearance was strong, her heart was very fragile and sensitive. This little girl had been very lovable since she was young. He wanted to hold her in his hands and protect her. How could he let her suffer any grievances? Li Yan cupped her small face and asked with a deep gaze, Why cant it be you? She had never thought of bing his real woman! Why was she still not willing to think about it in depth even after he had said so much? Was she too slow, or did she not want to be with him forever? She only said not to look for auntie for the time being, so she nned to let him look for auntie after they parted ways? Ha! Dream on! He never nned to let go of her in this lifetime! Li Yan lowered his head and kissed her pink lips fiercely, sucking hard. Oiao Mus eves widened. Before she could react to what he meant. her liDS were sealed. There was a hint of gentleness in his kiss, as if he wanted to melt her. Qiao Mu felt her mind go nk, and her thoughts gradually became chaotic. After an unknown period of time, the man finally let go of her. Panting heavily, she pressed her hands against the mans chest and red at him angrily. Uncle, you always joke with me like this. Ill take it seriously! Her words sounded pitiful, making Li Yan angry and helpless. When had he ever joked with her? She had never felt that he was serious! Li Yan pulled with his big hand and removed the obstacle between the two of them. As his big hand moved, he said, Then take it seriously! Qiao Mu blinked herrge eyes in astonishment, unable to digest this sentence for a long time. He wanted her to take it seriously! What if she took it for real and he left after that? What if he did not want her anymore? Qiao Mu felt her heart sink once again. She bit her lip, and she suddenly had the urge to y with fire. Why did she have to worry so much? Right now, as long as he was good and protected by her, it was enough! At the thought of this, she grinned. Uncle, Im really going to take it seriously. Almost as soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, the corners of Li Yans lips curled up into a devilish smile. He straightened his body and directly possessed her! [Happy Christmas Ill updateter tonight..] Chapter 211 - 211: Your Father Is Sick Chapter 211: Your Father Is Sick Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was caught off guard. She widened her eyes and pped the bed hard. Li Yan, if you want to start, can you tell me in advance?! Immediately after, the mans low and hoarse voice sounded in her ear. You should be happy. Your man has no desire for you! This beast! That night, Qiao Mu somehow ignited a certain mans fire and practically used all sorts of methods to demand from her. This man was even crazier than usual. It was as if he wanted to swallow her whole. All kinds of postures exhausted her! Later on, after an unknown period of time, Qiao Mus body was already extremely weak until she finally fell asleep. After intense exercise, Qiao Mu sessfully overslept the next day. When he woke up, it was alreadyte in the morning. She immediately got up and prepared to go to work, but she was stopped by Li Yan. Compared to Qiao Mus listlessness, Li Yan was refreshed. He looked at Qiao Mu, who was in a flurry, and said indifferently, lve already approved a day off for you. You dont have to go to work today. Oh, Qiao Mu replied and listlessly fell back onto the bed, preparing to catch up on her sleep. His body was aching badly and he had no strength at all. Li Yan, this beast, was really helpless when he red up! Qiao Mu wanted to go back to sleep, but her phone rang. It was Yu Tingyun. After staring at the caller ID for a while, he finally picked up the call and said, Hello? Then, he heard Yu Tingyuns voice. Qiao Mu, go home. Your father is sick. Qiao Mu was startled, and her sleepiness disappeared in an instant. She hurriedly asked, What happened to my dad? If youre worried about your father, go home and see him yourself! Qiao Mu rushed back to the Qiao familys residence, and Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya were both there. Yu Tingyun saw her and asked in surprise, 1 just called you. Why did youe back in such a short time? After Qiao Mu hung up the phone, she came straight over from the Li residence. She was worried about her father, so she couldnt care about anything else. Without answering Yu Tingyun, Qiao Mu asked directly, Aunt Yun, is my father alright? The doctor said that hes been working too hard recently. Hes depressed and under too much pressure. His body cant digest it for a while, so he fell sick all of a sudden. He needs some time to recuperate. Qiao Mu realized that not only her father, but even Yu Tingyuns face had lost its usual vigor and was much more haggard than it had been a few days ago. She had never cared about thepanys affairs. When Yu Tingyun mentioned the Qiao Corporationst time, she thought that she was exaggerating. Now, it seemed that she was really in trouble! What made her feel strange was that she had mentioned this to Li Yan before. Li Yans attitude was that he had agreed to help her. Why was there no progress? Just as Qiao Mu was feeling puzzled, she heard Yu Tingyun speak again. Qiao Mu, when I asked you to do it, did you think it through? Your father is already in this state. Dont tell me you still n to leave Mrs. Qiao in the lurch? Qiao Mus expression turned colder, and she coldly said, Aunt Yun, you really think too highly of me. If you cant do it, how can I? You want me to get close to Li Yan, but do you think hes the kind of person whose judgment will be affected by a few words from me? Yu Tingyuns gaze fell on Qiao Mus face, and the corners of her lips curled up. Her tone was matter-of-factly as she said, lsnt your greatest asset your body? The Qiao family raised you up, and now its time for you to repay the Qiao family. Even if you dont care about me, dont you care about your father? Your father is really good to you! Chapter 212 - 212: She Doesn I t Look Like Her Father Or Her Mother Chapter 212: She Doesn I t Look Like Her Father Or Her Mother Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Ya said disdainfully, Qiao Mu, dont put on such an arrogant expression. Youve already been vited by Lin Xian a long time ago. This kind of thing is very normal for you. After all, a woman will have a second time after her first time. Its already too good for you to be with a man like Uncle! Qiao Mus eyes darkened at the mention of Lin Xian. You still have the cheek to mention Lin Xian? Qiao Ya, I really dont know how you became like this! After a pause, Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyun and said, Aunt Yun, if I remember correctly, you reminded me that Li Yan wasnt someone I could mess with. Now that Im with Li Yan, do you agree? Yu Tingyun smiled sarcastically. Qiao Mu, what dream are you having? What kind of person is Li Yan? If you really have the ability to be with him, then I really have to give you my blessings! Im afraid that if you get close to him, he will help Mrs. Qiao, which has already shown your role vividly. Do you think you still have other influence on him? Qiao Mu clenched her fists. Very good! She would wait for Yu Tingyuns blessings! Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered with them and went straight into the room to meet Qiao Jiannan. In the room, Qiao Jiannan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his hand on an IV drip. Even when he was sick, Qiao Jiannan was still in high spirits. Although he was middle-aged, he maintained his appearance very well. From his face, one could tell that he must have been very handsome when he was young. If he hadnt been so handsome back then, Yu Tingyun, who was from a wealthy family, wouldnt have married him! Perhaps Qiao Mu had inherited Qiao Jiannans genes for being beautiful, but she never looked like Qiao Jiannan since she was young. Qiao Jiannans shadow could hardly be seen on her face, but no one in the Qiao family would raise this question. Because she did not resemble her father, she definitely resembled her mother. Her mother was definitely not allowed to be mentioned. However, the strange thing was that Qiao Mu was not like Zhou Jieru. Perhaps she had grown into her current state because she hadbined the strengths of Zhou Jieru and Qiao Jiannans invisibility. Qiao Jiannan opened his eyes as if he had heard a voice. When he saw Qiao Mu, he smiled. Mumu, youre back. You havente home for a long time. Qiao Mu sat down beside the bed. Dad, Ive been too busy with my internship recently. I heard from Aunt Yun that your body was overworked because of thepanys matters. Did thepany encounter some difficulties? Its okay. You dont have to worry about thepany. My health is fine. I just need to rest for a while. You just have to go to school. Qiao Mu felt terrible inside. She smiled at Qiao Jiannan. Dad, thepany will definitely be fine. Dont work too hard. You must rest well. Qiao Jiannan nodded and raised his hand to pat Qiao Mus head. The child has grown up. She knows how to care about her father. Qiao Mu pouted. Ive always been very sensible! Yes, Mumu is the most sensible! Qiao Jiannans eyes were filled with love, and Qiao Mus heart felt extremely warm. She had been in the Qiao family since she was young. Although she had not been treated as carefully as Qiao Ya by her mother, Qiao Jiannan was a verypetent father to her. She did notck the fatherly love that she should have. She did not have a good mother, but at least she had a good father. Hence, Qiao Mu was very grateful to Qiao Jiannan, so how could she leave the Qiao family in the lurch! After Qiao Mu left the Qiao familys residence, Qiao Ya went up to Yu Tingyun and asked, Mom, will Qiao Mu help the Qiao Corporation? Yu Tingyun smiled and said with certainty, 0f course! Chapter 213 - 213: Yu Tingyun l s Purpose Chapter 213: Yu Tingyun l s Purpose Trantor: 549690339 Yu Tingyun was very clear about Qiao Jiannans position in Qiao Mus heart. If she wasnt confident that Qiao Mu would do her best, she wouldnt have made such a request. Qiao Ya furrowed her brows, feeling a little indignant. But Uncle treated Qiao Mu differently in the past. Uncle is such an outstanding man, but if he was really seduced by Qiao Mu, wouldnt she be taking advantage of him?! Who do you think Li Yan is? It was still uncertain whether Qiao Mu would seed in this matter. Even if she had the means to make Li Yan help the Qiao family, how many days could Li Yans interest in herst? Besides, shes a member of the Qiao family after all. My aunt wont agree to Li Yan being with her! Yu Tingyun was full of confidence. She told Qiao Mu to get close to Li Yan. If she could do it, it would be of great help to the Qiao family. If she couldnt do it, the Qiao family wouldnt suffer any losses. Regardless of the oue, if Qiao Jiannan found out that Qiao Mu was approaching her uncle in name, Qiao Mu would be doing her best for nothing! Yu Tingyun thought that she hadplete control over this matter, but she had no idea that Qiao Mu had already gotten together with Li Yan. When Qiao Mu returned to the Li residence, Li Yan was still at home and seemed to be waiting for her. When he saw her, the man lifted his eyelids. Did you get bullied by your stepmother after you went back? Qiao Mu was stunned. Was he concerned about her? The next moment, she nodded her head heavily and sat down beside Li Yan. Uncle, my stepmother is interrogating me why she hasnt done anything to you yet. Didnt you promise me to help the Qiao Corporation? But my father fell ill because of thepany. Li Yan put down theptop in his hand and opened his arms to wrap his petite body in front of him. Your stepmother just asked you to get close to me, so I immediately helped the Qiao Corporation. Are you trying to make her think that Im easy to take the bait, or are you trying to hint to her that weve actually been in a rtionship for a long time? Qiao Mu thought for a moment and felt that his words made sense. She should have spent a lot of effort to get close to Li Yan and ask him for help. How could it be that easy? Yu Tingyun would definitely be suspicious if this matter was settled so easily. He looked up at his handsome face and grinned. Uncle is still the smartest! He rubbed Qiao Mus head with hisrge hand and cast a sidelong nce at her. Im so considerate of your situation, shouldnt you perform well? Think about how to thank me! Qiao Mus lips twitched. Uncle, didnt I do enoughst night? Her body was still sore, and he still had the cheek to let her perform! Li Yans handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of a smile shed in his eyes. Little thing, whats in your head? Youre still so young, dont be so indecent. Is this the only way you can express yourself? Qiao Mu was speechless. F * ck! The most indecent person still had the cheek to say that she was indecent! She was clearly following his train of thought, but she was actuallyughed at by him! Then, she heard the mans voice. Treat me to a meal? How can it be a simple way to thank me? You didnt even consider it and insisted on thinking in that direction. Youre really a pervert. Seeing that evildoers devilish smile, Qiao Mu really wanted to pounce on him and strangle him to death. In a beef noodle restaurant near T University. Qiao Mu took the menu and ordered a few dishes before generously handing it to Li Yan. Uncle, what else do you want to eat? Order whatever you want. Dont say Im stingy! Li Yan nced at the price list on the menu with a cold expression. The most expensive price on the menu was not even a fraction of the price of a cup of tea that he usually drank.. Chapter 214 - 214: Treat Me to a Dinner Chapter 214: Treat Me to a Dinner Trantor: 549690339 This little thing had generously agreed to treat him to a meal, but in the end, she had brought him all the way to a small noodle shop near her school. Seeing that Li Yan did not respond, Qiao Mu smiled and handed the menu to the waiter. Ive already ordered a lot of dishes anyway. Ill order moreter if theres not enough! The facilities in the small noodle restaurant were very simple. Li Yans tall figure could not hide his noble temperament as he sat there. He was a little out of ce in this small restaurant. Qiao Mu rested her chin on her hands and smiled at Li Yan while waiting for the dishes to be served. Uncle, the food here is delicious, especially the river snails. Theyre my favorite. You should be happy that Im sharing such delicious food with you. Why are you pulling a long face? You dont even appreciate it! Li Yan looked at the little ones happy and rxed expression and asked helplessly, Do you oftene here to eat? Thats right. Youll know how delicious it is in a while. Qiao Mu was brimming with confidence. Very soon, the beef noodles and a few side dishes were served. There were spicy stir-fried river snails, skewers, fried mushrooms, and home-cooked cold dishes. Li Yan looked at these things that did not have much nutrition and finally understood why this little thing was so thin. It would be strange if it could get fat if it ate these things often! Qiao Mu enthusiastically added a piece of fried mushroom for Li Yan. Uncle, try this. Its fried mushroom. Its delicious! Mushroom? Li Yan nced at it and frowned. Li Yan hated mushrooms the most. Whether it was the taste or the appearance, they were not appetizing. He almost never touched it, and the people around him knew his habits and would not order dishes with mushrooms in front of him, but Qiao Mu did not know that. When he raised his head, he saw Qiao Mu looking at him with great anticipation, waiting for him to taste it. His furrowed brows slowly rxed, and he picked it up as if nothing had happened and put it into his mouth. Is it delicious? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes and asked. Under Qiao Mus watchful gaze, Li Yan chewed slowly. He picked up a cup of water and took a sip before nodding. It tastes pretty good. Immediately after, Qiao Mu grinned very happily and even more enthusiastically added a few pieces of fried mushrooms for Li Yan. Uncle, if you like to eat, then eat more! I also like to eat this! The corner of Li Yans eyes twitched as he said calmly, lf you like it, then eat more. Its okay. Its my treat today. I dont care! It was rare for Qiao Mu to be so confident in front of Li Yan. Actually, Qiao Mu chose to eat here to save money. She also thought that those expensive dishes were not worth mentioning in front of Li Yan. She might as well bring him to a ce he had never eaten before and eat some fresh food. As expected, it was to his liking! After the meal, Qiao Mu ate and drank to her hearts content. She then called the waiter to pay the bill. The waiter handed the bill to Qiao Mu and said with a smile, Its a total of 78 yuan. Ill charge you 75 yuan. Qiao Mu nodded and paid. Then, she proudly said to Li Yan, Uncle, isnt it satisfying to eat such an affordable meal? Li Yans lips curled up. Yes, youre not even an auntie yet, but you already know how to save money for me. You know how to be frugal. Not bad. Qiao Mu blushed. She was trying to save money for herself, alright? How shameless! Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand as they walked out of the noodle shop and looked down at her. However, its good to know how to save money, but I hope that next time youll treat me to a meal to thank me. Dont act so cheap. Qiao Mu pouted.. This is my sincerity! You cant use money to measure it! Chapter 215 - 215: Ye Lin’s Plan Chapter 215: Ye Lins n Trantor: 549690339 After Qiao Mu rested for a day, she went back to work the next day. When Ye Lin saw Qiao Mu, it was as if the previous incident had never happened and she continued to be busy with her own matters. Ye Lins arrogance did not allow her to lower her head to Qiao Mu. Even though she knew about Qiao Mus rtionship with Li Yan and even though she had lost face in front of Li Yan, she was still Qao Mus superior! Li Yan did not make things difficult for her at work. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and handed the project of Chengbei Real Estate to her. This meant that Li Yan recognized her ability to work. Qiao Mu was merely Li Yans woman. Her career was more important to Li Yan, so she did not need to worry about Qiao Mu. In the following days, the design department was busier, and Qiao Mu often had to work overtime. As long as Li Yan did not have any social events, he would wait for her in thepany until she got off work and then go home together. Moreover, the treatment of the design department was obviously much better. When they worked overtime, Lei Yi woulde and deliver supper to reward everyone. Everyone thought that Lei Yi was fawning over Qiao Mu and benefited from Qiao Mu, but only Ye Lin knew that while it was true that he benefited from Qiao Mu, the person who arranged for the food to be delivered was Li Yan! The better Li Yan treated Qiao Mu, the more anxious Ye Lin felt, and the more she hated Qiao Mu! During lunch break, a colleague suddenly stared at Ye Lins neck and said in surprise, Sister Lin, I think Ive seen this ne in a magazine before. Is it the same one? Ye Lin touched her neck and smiled faintly. Youre really sharp-eyed. This ne is a limited edition design that was released in the summer. My boyfriend gave it to me. I remember that this ne is very expensive. Sister Lin is so lucky. Your boyfriend treats you so well! The ttery of others made Ye Lins vanity rise bit by bit. Sun Ning smiled disapprovingly. Im also very curious. Who is Manager Yes boyfriend? Hes so rich but has never met him before. Could he be some old man? Ye Lins expression turned cold. Sun Ning continued, Xiao Qiao, Assistant Reiter oftenes to deliver lunch and supper to you. Hes so good to you. He must have spent a lot of money to buy things you like, right? At the mention of Qiao Mu, everyone was extremely curious. After all, they really wanted to gossip about this office romance. Qiao Mu raised her head and nced at Sun Ning. Sun Ning had nowpletely treated her as a target to suppress Ye Lin. As long as Ye Lin said something, Sun Ning would always mention her! Qiao Mu retracted her gaze nonchntly and said indifferently, lm still in school. I dont need these jewelry. A hint of disappointment shed across Sun Nings eyes. He had wanted to use Qiao Mu to deal a blow to Ye Lin, but Qiao Mu refused to cooperate! Ye Lins gaze was sizing up Qiao Mus body. There was nothing valuable on her body. It was said that when a man cared about a woman, he had to be willing to spend money on the woman first. However, Li Yan, who was a spendthrift, did not buy Qiao Mu such expensive jewelry. It was obvious that Li Yan did not really care about Qiao Mu! At the thouzht of this, a trace of delight surged in Ye Lins heart. In the end, Qiao Mu was not that important. She was just lucky to hook up with Li Yan! Since Qiao Mu could hook up with him, why couldnt she? The corners of Ye Lins mouth curled up, and her eyes were filled with scheming. There was still half an hour before work ended, so Ye Lin called Qiao Mu to her office. Qiao Mu, go and deliver a document. President Chen is apanying a client at the hotel. You have to hand it to President Chen personally. The design department will be working overtime tonight. After you deliver the document,e back and continue working. Ye Lin handed the document to Qiao Mu.. Chapter 216 - 216: She’s Not Worse Than Qjao Mu Chapter 216: Shes Not Worse Than Qjao Mu Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu nodded, took the document, and left. Ye Lin looked at Qiao Mus back and picked up her phone to make a call. When the call connected, Ye Lin smiled and said, President Chen, Ive already sent someone to send the document over. Once you sign it, well consider this project a sess. A hoarse male voice sounded from the other end.Little Ye, didnt youe personally to send him off? Did you send someone to deliver the documents because you dont want to see me? If I dont see you, I wont have the motivation to sign this contract! Ye Lins expression was cold, but her tone was very enthusiastic. President Chen, look at what youre saying. Im just too busy to get away. I guarantee that the colleague who will deliver the documents will definitely satisfy you. Shes an intern from our department and hasnt graduated from university yet! Suddenly, loudughter came from the other end of the phone, and he repeatedly said, Okay! President Chen, please be patient and teach the intern some things she doesnt know. After hanging up the phone, Ye Lin smiled coldly, her eyes shing with the cold intent of revenge. She really wanted to know if a man like Li Yan would still care if someone else touched the thing he liked! Ye Lin touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, then picked up the documents on the table and went to Li Yans office. In the office. Ye Lin ced the documents in her hands on the desk and looked at the handsome man in front of her. She smiled and said, President, this is the proposal Ive made for the vi area in the north of the city. Please take a look. Li Yan nced at the document and said without looking up, This project proposal will only bepleted half a monthter. Have you finished it? Yes, CEO. I worked hard for a few nights to make this. If youre not satisfied, Ill go and modify it. Li Yan looked up coldly. Manager Ye is really dedicated. Ye Lin smiled shyly and stared straight at Li Yan. Her voice was soft and gentle. As long as the CEO is satisfied, I can do anything. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up coldly. His long and narrow eyes shed with disgust. You can leave now. Ye Lin did not expect Li Yan to be so cold. She had made it very clear that she would give Li Yan anything he wanted. In the past, she did not have any thoughts about Li Yan because she thought that a man like Li Yan was too high and mighty to be approached- He was not someone she could have any thoughts about. However, when she found out that Li Yan was rted to Qiao Mu, she could not suppress the turmoil in her heart. Why could Qiao Mu do it, but she couldnt? Who wouldnt want to get close to such a man? Ye Lin did not give up. She clenched her fists and said in a low voice,President, arent you going to take a look at the proposal? If you have any objections, you can tell me now. Ill take it back and revise it. Get out! Dont make me repeat myself! Li Yans tone was cold. Ye Lin gritted her teeth and her expression was extremely ugly. Li Yan actually ignored her! At this moment, Li Yans phone rang. He picked up the call and listened to it quietly before hanging up. His cold eyes swept across the woman opposite him. Ye Lin was about to turn around and leave dejectedly. She was still unwilling to give up. She turned around very slowly, not wanting to disappear from Li Yans sight just like that. Stop! Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind her. Even though this voice was cold and without any fluctuations, Ye Lin was still secretly happy. Although she was not as beautiful as Qiao Mu, she was superior to Qiao Mu in terms of temperament, talent, and ability.. It was impossible for Li Yan not to admire her! Chapter 217 - 217: Li Yan’s Cruelness Chapter 217: Li Yans Cruelness Trantor: 549690339 As expected, this man was only cold on the surface. In fact, he was just an ordinary man! Ye Lin stopped in her tracks and looked up at Li Yan. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked with a smile, President, whats the matter? Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes. He stood up and walked elegantly to Ye Lin. Ye Lins heart beat nervously as she watched the man approach. Such a charismatic man, regardless of status or power, stood at the top. Anyone who saw him would be tempted! Soon! She would be his woman very soon. As long as he walked in front of her and hugged her with both hands, she was confident that he would fall in love with her! Ye Lin maintained her smile as she watched Li Yan walk up to her step by step. Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes slightly. His expression was as cold as ever, but the words that came out of his mouth were bone-chilling. Did you ask Qiao Mu to deliver the documents to President Chen? Ye Lins eyes widened in shock. She did not get what she had hoped for and only got this sentence! It was actually Qiao Mu! Could it be that the call he received earlier was rted to Qiao Mu? At this moment, Qiao Mu had already entered CEO Chens room. Even if she was unwilling, she would not be able to escape CEO Chens grasp. Everything was going ording to her n. As long as this man paid more attention to her, she would rece Qiao Mus position! CEO, Ye Lin said with a smile, is there anything wrong with me assigning Qiao Mu a job? As soon as Ye Lin finished speaking, she saw the corners of the mans mouth curl up. For some reason, the other party was smiling, but that smile made Ye Lin feel bone-chilling. Ye Lin could not help but tremble. She could not understand this mans emotions at all! However, she had finally gotten close to him. How could she give up? Gritting her teeth, she took a step forward and was about to get close to him when she saw the man raise his arm. Before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her neck. Ye Lin lowered her head, her face instantly turning pale. Li Yan was holding a fountain pen in his hand. The sharp tip of the pen was pointed at Ye Lins neck. As long as he used a little force, it would pierce through her fair skin. Ye Lin widened her eyes in panic and said in disbelief, President, youWhat are you doing? Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes and the corners of his lips curled up. He had a half-smile on his face, and his gaze was extremely frightening. What do you think will happen if this pen pierces in? Ye Lins face was pale and she was trembling in fear. Without waiting for Ye Lin to speak, Li Yan increased the strength in his hand. His voice was as terrifying as a messenger from hell as he said word by word, Theres an artery here. Once its punctured, your blood will gush out like tap water. It wont stop. A few minutes is enough to kill a person. As Li Yan spoke, the pen in his hand moved gently. His expression was calm as if he was pinching someone to death. To him, it was an extremely normal thing. Ye Lins face was filled with fear. She felt her vision darken. The man in front of her was so terrifying that she wanted to escape, but her feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and she could not move at all. She believed that this man was serious. He looked like he could crush her to death in the next second! Ye Lin was so scared that her forehead was covered in ayer of cold sweat. She suppressed her fear and forced a smile.President, dont scare me. I dont know what I did wrong. Oh? You dont know? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. He held the fountain pen and jabbed it hard. The tip of the pen pierced into Ye Lins skin.. Chapter 218 - 218: You Should Be Lucky That Qjao Mu Is Fine Chapter 218: You Should Be Lucky That Qjao Mu Is Fine Trantor: 549690339 A faint trace of blood appeared, but Li Yan remained unmoved. The strength in his hand was still increasing. Ye Lin was in so much pain that she felt like she was about to suffocate. She could no longer hold on and said in panic, President, I was wrong. I wont do it again. Please let me go! What did you do wrong? I We shouldnt have let Qiao Mu deliver the documents! Li Yans ck eyes narrowed, and his expression darkened. Ye Lin, you should be d that Qiao Mu is fine. If anything happens to Qiao Mu today, dont even think about walking out of here! Ye Lins legs went weak. She tried her best to stand up straight, afraid that if she identally moved, the fountain pen would poke deeper. Dong Li bit his lip and cried, President, it wont happen again. There wont be a next time. Please dont hold it against me. I wont dare to do it again! Li Yan seemed to be satisfied with this answer. He put the fountain pen away and looked down at the red tip of the pen. He raised his hand and threw the fountain pen into the trash can. After Ye Lin felt the sharp object on her neck disappear, her legs went limp. She covered her neck and fell to the ground weakly. The fear in her heart was still lingering. The mans terrifying appearance just now was deeply imprinted in her mind. At this moment, she finally realized what kind of terrifying person she had provoked. This man was indeed not someone she could mess with. She actually dared to approach him recklessly! Li Yans cold eyes swept across Ye Lin, and the corners of his mouth darkened. Ye Lin, remember this. Qiao Mu isnt someone you can provoke. If I find out that youre targeting her again At this point, the mans tone paused, and then his voice was filled with bloodthirsty majesty. Can you imagine what kind of ending you will have?! Ye Lin looked at the man in front of her. She almost suffocated and could only nod her head in panic. Get lost! After saying that, Ye Lin got up and stumbled out of the office. Li Yan suppressed his anger and dialed Qiao Mus number. Very soon, the other party picked up and said in a brisk voice, Uncle, are you off work? Im outside now and can only return to thepanyter. Hearing her voice, Li Yans expression softened a little. He asked, Where did you go? I went to deliver the documents, but when I arrived, I found that the other partys CEO had already left. I made a wasted trip. Qiao Mus tone was still a little gloomy. Li Yan pursed his lips coldly. If the people he sent to follow Qiao Mu had not found Qiao Mus whereabouts and gotten rid of President Chen beforehand, who knew what would have happened to his little woman! There was a knock on the door. Li Yan answered and hung up the phone. Then, Lei Yi walked in. Lei Yi ced the documents on the table. Young Master, this is the information you asked me to gather. Li Yan took the document and looked at it a few times. Have you checked it thoroughly? Yes. Qiaos Group has been declining in recent months, Lei Yi reported. Its because Yu Tingyun has done something to it. Li Yan raised his eyebrows and waited for Lei Yi to continue. Two months ago, Yu Tingyun secretly transferred all the cooperation from the Qiao Corporation to the Yu Corporation. Because of our secret suppression of the Yu Corporation, the Yu Corporation was in danger. However, Yu Tingyun asked the Qiao Corporation to help fix the loophole, so the problem now is the Qiao Corporation. Li Yan listened as he read through the documents. His lips curled up coldly. For the Yu Corporation, Yu Tingyun would even drag the Qiao Corporation down with her! Things were done so densely, no wonder Qiao Jiannan didnt notice.. Chapter 219 - 219: All the traps Chapter 219: All the traps Trantor: 549690339 Lei Yi continued, The Qiao family has a family rule. Children who have reached the age of 18 have the right to get thepanys shares. Yu Tingyun must be wary. After all, the Qiao Corporation belongs to Qiao Jiannan, and the second daughter of the Qiao family deserves the shares. If the Qiao Corporation is defeated, the Yu Corporation has nothing to do with the second daughter of the Qiao family. So, since one of them has to be defeated, Yu Tingyun will naturally choose to defeat the Qiao Corporation. Li Yans eyes were cold. Theres another aspect. Qiao Enterprise is in trouble, and Qiao Mu can be used by her. That woman is really scheming! Looking at Li Yans cold face, Lei Yi asked, Young Master, should we interfere in the Qiao Corporations matters? If they helped the Qiao Corporation, it would mean that they were helping the Yu Corporation. They had suppressed the Yu Corporation with their own hands, but now they wanted to save it? Li Yans fingers tapped rhythmically on the table as he said coldly, Hand over the cooperation in the construction materials of the real estate in the north of the city to the Qiao family. Lei Yi was startled. This answer was within his expectations, but also beyond his expectations. Then, she heard the man continue, We have to do things in a roundabout way. We have to let Yu Tingyun think that I changed my mind to help the Qiao family. We cant drag Qiao Mu into this. Although he had promised Qiao Mu that he would help the Qiao family, he would not let Qiao Mu get involved in his feud with Yu Tingyun. Now was not the time to publicize his rtionship with Qiao Mu. If Yu Tingyun knew how important Qiao Mu was to him, who knew what kind of outrageous things that woman would do to Qiao Mu! Qiao Mu had no idea what Ye Lin had done to her. She returned to thepany and handed the document to Ye Lin, exining the reason. Without waiting for Ye Lins responsibility, Ye Lin said with a good attitude,l understand. Leave this to me. You dont have to worry about it. Qiao Mu looked at Yeh Lins pale face and the red spot on his neck, and asked in surprise, Manager Ye, why is your neck bleeding? Ye Lins expression froze and she covered her neck. Its fine. You can go out. This time, Ye Lin was indeed frightened. She did not expect Li Yan to be such a terrifying person. She also did not expect that Li Yan would protect Qiao Mu to such an extent! At the thought of this, Ye Lins face turned even paler. Fortunately, Qiao Mu was fine. If anything had happened to Qiao Mu, her fate would have been even worse! [Todays update is over. All the chapters that should be added have been added. Tomorrow, there will still be 5 updates. Suying wanted to say that she broke her promise for not updating on time yesterday. After Christmas, it was already 12 0clock when she came back. She had only updated two chapters by 2 oclock. If she really couldnt take it anymore, she would leave a message saying that she would make up for it during the day. However, some readers who were still reading in the middle of the night had a lot of opinions. Suying was really sorry, but please understand each other. Seeing that some readers called Suying a liar, Suying was really shocked. Suying knew that she had never done what she said in the past. Many of her old readers had a lot of opinions, so now she tried her best to do what she said! Up until now, the missing updates have been made up. I hope girls donte out and say that Suying is looking for an excuse to call Suying a liar when Suying asionally has something to update. Suying promised that, regardless of whether it was during the free period or after it was released, as long as the number of updates was promised, if there was something that did not update enough on the day, it would definitely be made up the next day. The previous mistakes would not be repeated.. Thank you for supporting suying! Thank you for your tolerance and understanding!] Chapter 220 - 220: Each With Their Own Purposes Chapter 220: Each With Their Own Purposes Trantor: 549690339 In the following period of time, Qiao Mu worked smoothly. Qiao Mu would asionally return to the Qiao familys residence to visit Qiao Jiannan. Qiao Jiannans body was fine, and with Li Yan starting to help the Qiao Corporation, thepanys situation did not seem so bad anymore. Qiao Mu returned to the Qiao familys residence and was about to leave when Yu Tingyun stopped her. Qiao Mu, you didnt do anything I asked you to dost time, Yu Tingyun said straightforwardly. Li Yan only helped the Qiao family out of respect for me. I need your help now. Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyun coldly. Aunt Yun, dont tell me you want me to seduce your younger brother again? Li Yan doesnt seem to like you. I cant me you. I overestimated you. Yu Tingyuns words were full of sarcasm. She paused and continued, I need you to give me a copy of the design proposal for Chengbei Real Estate. Youre in the design department. This is very simple for you. Qiao Mu frowned. What do you need this for? Dont worry, it wont affect you much. The development of the northern real estate of LSAG Group is a very important matter. The Qiao Corporation will also participate in the recruitment of the design proposal. If the Qiao Corporation is selected, it will be of great help to the development of the Qiao Corporation. You want to giarize?! Dont make it sound so harsh. Im just borrowing from it. Anyway, the final proposal will be checked by the Li Corporation. Whoever passes the proposal wont affect the Li Corporation, but it will be of great help to the Qiao Corporation. Your fathers health has just recovered. You should know how important the Qiao Corporations health is to your father. Qiao Mus face was cold. This woman was really shameless enough to use her father to threaten her! Qiao Mu didnt give Yu Tingyun a reply and left immediately. Qiao Ya overheard their conversation from upstairs and said indignantly, Mom, I have connections in the Li Group too. I can do this. Theres no need to let Qiao Mu do it! Yu Tingyuns lips curled up coldly. Its a waste not to use a ready-made resource. Its not easy for Qiao Mu toe in handy, so its time for her to perform well. Qiao Ya secretly gritted her teeth, and a trace of scheming shed across her That night, at the Li residence. Li Yan had yet to return from his social gathering, so Qiao Mu was lying on the bed reading some documents. Her phone rang. Qiao Mu looked at the caller ID and picked up excitedly. Xiaxia, why are you calling me sote at night? Youve been home for so long and youre finally willing to call me! Chi Xia smiled. Im just worried that Ill disturb you and your uncles private time! You called to make fun of me, right? Qiao Mu was helpless. She was initially worried that Chi Xia would go into a dead end, but after hearing her rxed voice, she was finally relieved. Tell me, Chi Xia asked again, Hows your rtionship with your uncle? Give me some positive energy. Qiao Mu flipped over and sat on the headboard. After thinking for a while, she briefly exined how Yu Tingyun had asked her to get close to Li Yan. Chi Xia yelled at her in response. This old woman is too shameless. She can even think of such a thing! But its just right. If she finds out that youve been in love with her brother for a long time and that shes been kept in the dark, shell be furious! Qiao Mu pursed her lips. I clearly had no choice! Chi Xias tone suddenly turned serious. Mu Mu, are you really not serious about Li Yan? I think he treats you quite well. Who is Li Yan? If he doesnt like you, he wont protect you everywhere. Qiao Mu looked up at the ceiling and then smiled into the phone. Xiaxia, you dont understand. The rtionship between the Li family and the Yu family isplicated. Li Yan and I just get what we want and have our own goals. Were not going to fall in love.. Chapter 221 - 221: Using Each Other Without any Feelings Chapter 221: Using Each Other Without any Feelings Trantor: 549690339 The other end of the phone fell silent. After a while, Chi Xias voice sounded, Mu Mu, are you really with Li Yan because he is Yu Tingyuns younger brother and you want to recruit your enemies into your camp? No. Qiao Mu sighed softly. It was not just that. The matter between her and Li Yan was tooplicated. If it was possible, she naturally did not want to provoke him. The situation now waspletely out of her control. As soon as Qiao Mu said that, Chi Xia raised her voice. So, you still have feelings for Li Yan, right? I knew it. You cant be like a block of wood. How can you not make a move on such an outstanding man! Qiao Mu felt a little helpless. Xiaxia, youre too excited. I havent finished speaking. Whats wrong? Dont tell me that you dont have any feelings for Li Yan at all! Qiao Mus heart was in a mess. She was a little confused by Chi Xias question. She had never thought about this problem, nor did she need to think about it. Back then, she had already fallen in love once, and in return, she had only been hurt. How could she make the same mistake twice? However, when she thought about how Li Yan had been treating her better and better recently, the feeling was bing more and more like the past. She was at a loss. Qiao Mu tightened her grip on her phone and said indifferently, I cant exin the situation between me and Li Yan in a few words. He has his own goals, and I have mine. He doesnt get along with Yu Tingyun, so I took advantage of the situation. If Li Yan stands on Yu Tingyuns side, I wont be able to turn the tables. Chi Xia sighed. No matter what, dont make things difficult for yourself. Just be with Li Yan now. Yes, of course I want to be good with Li Yan. I want to be so good with him that Yu Tingyun got so angry that she had a nosebleed when she found out the truth! As soon as she said this, the man who had already walked out of the bedroom stopped in his tracks! His handsome face suddenly darkened. The bedroom door wasnt closed tightly, so the sounds from the room could be heard clearly. When Li Yan went up to the second floor, he vaguely heard Qiao Mus words. The closer he got _ the clearer he heard them It turned out that she had always felt that being together with him was just taking what they wanted and using each other emotionlessly! This woman! This woman! Li Yan pursed his lips tightly and clenched his fists tightly. Although he knew that she had ulterior motives and was mentally prepared, when he heard her say that she was only with him to anger Yu Tingyun, he could not suppress the anger in his heart! He had warned her many times that he could let bygones be bygones and not try to scheme against him in the future! However, she did not learn her lesson! He had always thought that the time they had been together had made her dispel those thoughts that she should not have. She was still just using him and being with him! Li Yan stood outside the door like a statue. He did not move at all, and his face was terrifyingly dark. Immediately after, Qiao Mus voice sounded in the room again. Yu Tingyun wants the design drafts for the Li Real Estate development. This is making things difficult for melts just a design proposal. Whats the big deal? Li Yans pupils constricted, and his eyes were filled with endless coldness. She had still schemed against him! This woman had crossed his bottom line time and time again! Li Yan did not know how long he had been standing outside the bedroom. The woman in the room had already hung up the phone. Then, the phone in his pocket vibrated. It was a message from her.. Chapter 222 - 222: Her Purpose Has Not Changed in Ten Years Chapter 222: Her Purpose Has Not Changed in Ten Years Trantor: 549690339 Uncle, when are youing back? Im sleepy. Li Yan gripped his phone tightly. The veins on the back of his hand bulged as if he wanted to crush the phone. This woman! On one hand, she did not take him to heart, but on the other hand, she was still concerned about his whereabouts. If he had not heard her words with his own ears, he would have thought that she really cared about him! After Qiao Mu hung up the phone, she sent Li Yan a message. After sending the message, there was no response for a long time. After a while, she called the other party, but there was no response. He didnt reply to his text messages or pick up his phone. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Although he would ignore her messages when he had some conflicts with Li Yan, they had been getting along very well recently. Whenever she sent him a message, he would always reply as quickly as possible. Sometimes, he would call her back directly if he found it troublesome to reply to her messages. Perhaps he was busy and didnt have time to bother with her. Qiao Mu put down the phone, turned off the lights, andy down. She recalled Chi Xia asking her if she would help Yu Tingyun get the design proposal. This was already considered stealing. Even if Qiao Enterprise was her fathers blood and sweat, she would not do anything. But she would still help Yu Tingyun. It was just a design proposal, right? If Yu Tingyun wanted a proposal, then she would personally make a proposal and give it to her. Regardless of whether this proposal was eventually adopted by the Li Group, she had a clear conscience. Qiao Mu stretchedzily and closed her eyes to sleep. Li Yans legs were stiff as he stood outside the bedroom. The dim yellow light from the corridor shone on his face, making him look even more gloomy and cold. The woman in the bedroom seemed to have fallen asleep. He took out a cigarette, leaned against the corridor railing, and smoked. The smoke swirled around his fingertips and went around his hair, making his cold and handsome face even more mesmerizing. He tried his best to suppress his anger and resisted the urge to rush into the room to vent his anger on the little woman. He had said that he would not force her or hurt her in the future. He was worried that he would lose control of his emotions the moment he stepped into the room! No one had ever restrained his temper like this. He had always handled everything with ease, but she was the only one who was not out of his control! Ten years ago, when he discussed with his parents that he would bring Qiao Mu overseas, he heard Qiao Mu personally tell Qiao Ya her motive for approaching him. Ten yearster, he still heard the same words. She was with him just to anger Yu Tingyun! Everyone had their own goals. This was her goal! But what was his purpose? She must have thought that he was with her to deal with Yu Tingyun. This woman always tried to twist his meaning! Li Yan felt a heavy feeling in his chest. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, but he still could not suppress his anxiety. What should he do with her? Suddenly, the door opened. Li Yan looked up and saw Qiao Mu walking out in her loose pajamas and slippers with her hair disheveled. Her eyelids were half-closed, and her slippers were on the wrong side of her feet. It was obvious that she was still asleep. While Qiao Mu was still in a daze, she felt extremely thirsty. There was no water in the bedroom, so she got up in a daze and prepared to go downstairs to drink some water. When she opened the bedroom door, she smelled the pungent smell of tobo. She frowned and looked up to see the man standing at the door. He was shocked.. Chapter 223 - 223 -Each Taking What They Need Chapter 223: -Each Taking What They Need Trantor: 549690339 The man stood in the shadows. The light shone on his body. At first nce, he was a dark shadow. Qiao Mu blinked. When she saw the mans face clearly, she heaved a sigh of relief. Uncle? Qiao Mu took a step forward. As she was still not fully awake, her first reaction was to get closer to him when she saw him. She naturally wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against her chest with her eyes closed in a daze, treating him like a bed. He muttered, Why are you standing here? You didnt even enter the room when you came back. Qiao Mus actions made Li Yan freeze. Her voice was low and soft, and she soundedzy and sleepy. Her body leaned against him softly, and her movements were so natural. His heart was suddenly pulled. The resentment and anger that had been umted in his heart could not be released at this moment towards this little woman. Li Yan frowned slightly. After a while, he said, lm smoking outside. Ill go back to my room in a while. Why are you out? Oh? Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest and almost fell asleep. She suddenly forgot what she was doing outside and looked up at him pitifully. Dont smoke in the middle of the night. Im so sleepy. Uncle, lets sleep. Li Yans eyes darkened as he stared at her fair face. After a while, his thin lips moved and he replied, Alright. Then, he put out the cigarette butt on the cigarette box, bent over, picked her up, and strode into the room. The little bit of anger in her heart waspletely shattered by her actions. Lying on the bed, Qiao Mu took the opportunity to burrow into Li Yans embrace and continued to sleep in a daze while hugging him. As if she had thought of something, she narrowed her eyes and asked, I sent you messages and even called you, but you ignored me. There was a hint ofint in his tone. He did not know if it was because she was in a daze that she was acting so obediently or if she was doing it on purpose. After listening to her words, he couldnt help but think about what she had done to him. Was it all for her purpose, to deliberately get close to him? Li Yans eyes darkened as he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. The moment he thought of the reason why she relied on him and cared about him, the anger in his heart burned wildly. Suppressing the raging anger in his heart, Li Yan lowered his voice and said slowly, Qiao Mu, do you mind if I ignore you? Yes Qiao Mu snortedzily. It was impossible to tell if she was replying in a drowsy state or if she was really responding to him. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yans eyes narrowed. He cupped her face and kissed her fiercely. Qiao Mu, you better really care! You must care. Even if you dont care now, one day, you will truly care! The kiss became more intense. It was as if he wanted to swallow her whole. His arms hugged her tightly and refused to let go. Qiao Mu was originally in a half-asleep state and almost fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw a face right in front of her. The mans sudden action made her subconsciously want to push him away. Uncle, Im so sleepy. Its already sote today Li Yansrge hand reached into her clothes and proceeded to the next step without any exnation. Qiao Mu felt extremely ufortable being disturbed in her sleep. The mans actions were not gentle, making her feel ufortable. She struggled for a moment, and her reaction seemed to have made him unhappy. She increased the strength of her hand. Uncle, it hurts Qiao Mus small face scrunched up.. Chapter 224 - 224: Qjao Mil’s Concealment Chapter 224: Qjao Mils Concealment Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans movements paused. When he saw the little womans ufortable expression, his movements softened a little in the next second. Her rough movements gradually became gentle, but every move she made was filled with extreme possessiveness, not allowing Qiao Mu to resist at all. Smelling the faint smell of tobo on the mans body, it was as if she was refreshing and no longer sleepy. The mans lips pressed against her ear. Qiao Mu, you must wait for me toe back in the future. Youre not allowed to sleep alone! Alright. Qiao Mu, remember, Im your man. Im your everything. Im the only one in your heart! Yes. Qiao Mu replied nkly. Qiao Mu The man seemed to want to fuse this name into his bones and blood as he repeated it over and over again. Gradually, Qiao Mu only felt her thoughts bing more and more chaotic, and then she gradually fell into a trance, On the weekend, Qiao Mu slept in for a long time. She dragged her tired body downstairs. The butler had already prepared breakfast. Seeing that the house was empty, Qiao Mu asked, Miss Chen, did Uncle go out? Young Master is working in the study. Uncle Chen replied. Qiao Mu nodded and snorted in her heart. She slept in, but he woke up early to work. He had clearly tortured her to deathst night, yet he still had the energy to work early in the morning! He really wasnt human! Qiao Mu was having breakfast when Li Yan came down from upstairs and leisurely sat down opposite her. Uncle, do you want some? Qiao Mu asked politely. Do you think Im like you, a pig who only starts eating breakfast in the middle of the afternoon? Qiao Mu was speechless. Li Yans broken mouth was really annoying! She didnt even think about who caused her to sleep in! Li Yans cold gaze swept across the little face whose eyes were swollen from sleeping. When he thought of how she had cried and cried pitifullyst night, his body suddenly tensed up. This woman was really a vixen! Li Yans eyes darkened as he said coldly, You went back to the Qiao familyst night? Qiao Mu nodded as if nothing had happened. Then, she heard the mans voice continue to ring out, Did anything happen? Qiao Mu stopped eating and looked up at Li Yan. She blinked her big eyes and smiled. Uncle, youre really more concerned about me now. Im just making a trip home. What can happen? My stepmother cant bully me. If she bullies me, Ill immediately run to you andin so that you can teach her a lesson! Qiao Mus words were spoken naturally, and there was nothing unusual about them. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and a cold smile appeared on his face. Thats good. Qiao Mu felt that Li Yans gaze was filled with deep meaning, but she could not understand it at all. She shook her head. Perhaps she was overthinking things. Li Yan worked at home for the entire day. Qiao Mu stood guard in front of him and studied the design proposal seriously. If she did not understand anything, she would ask the man beside her. Qiao Mu asked Li Yan for his opinion as she thought about the n. She then adopted his suggestions to perfect her own n. Li Yan looked at her and said calmly, You really put in a lot of effort into your internship. This isnt even your major. Are you nning to change careers after graduation? Qiao Mu pursed her lips unhappily. You have to be good at your job. Uncle asked me to go to thepany for an internship, but he didnt hire me to serve tea, right? Im so dedicated, but you dont praise me. Instead, you insult me! Li Yan nced at the outline of the proposal that Qiao Mu had drawn up. You seem to have put a lot of effort into the development of Chengbei Real Estate. This proposal isnt something an intern like you should be involved in.. Chapter 225 - 225: Does She Have a Heart? Chapter 225: Does She Have a Heart? Trantor: 549690339 Im just gaining knowledge and umting experience. Uncle, dont worry about me. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she paused and asked nonchntly, Uncle, is thepany recruiting design proposals for this project? As long as otherpaniese up with a good n, it might be adopted, right? Li Yans ck eyes shed and he nodded. Why? Do you have an idea? Qiao Mu shook her head vigorously. No! Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu and clenched his fists tightly. If she really did as Yu Tingyun said At the thought of this, Li Yans eyes darkened. He really wanted to see if she was really heartless! Qiao Mu exhausted her brain and copsed onto the sofa to rest. She took out her phone to y and realized that it was on silent. There was a missed call and a few WeChat messages. The call was from Han Su, but the call didnt go through. He sent her a WeChat message. Mumu, I have good news for you. Your exchange student application will be finalized soon. Although we havent received the notification yet, there shouldnt be any idents. With the internship certificate, youll be treated very well there. Qiao Mu stared nkly at the message. During this period of time, she had been doing her internship every day and had actually forgotten about the exchange student matter. If it werent for Han Sus sudden reminder, she would have forgotten the purpose of her internship! Han Su had told her this news in advance because he was very confident. This meant that there was a 90% chance of getting an exchange student! She was originally looking forward to the notification and leaving the Qiao family as soon as possible. But why was he not as surprised as he had expected? Qiao Mu looked at the man in front of his desk, who was working seriously with his head lowered. Could it be that she had gradually gotten used to her current life because of his protection recently? He pped his head hard. What a good-for-nothing. He actually wavered! This was her only way out! Yu Tingyun was a scheming woman, and she was difficult to deal with. If she continued to stay in the Qiao family, perhaps one day, she would really arrange a marriage alliance for the Qiao family! Even if her father protected her, Yu Tingyun would definitely find a way to get rid of the obstacles. Even if Li Yan was protecting her now, he might change his mind at any time. For her future, this was the best choice. But If this man knew what she was thinking, she would be in trouble! She had agreed that her three years would be his, but she was prepared to leave without a word! Qiao Mu bit her lip, her mind in aplete mess. Due to thenguage barrier, it was difficult to apply for a ce overseas. Therefore, she applied to a university in Hong Kong. Even if she went to a university in Hong Kong, it would not prevent her from interacting with Li Yan, right? If he wanted her to continue fulfilling her obligations, she would have no problem at all! Qiao Mu instantly felt that she was indulging in wild fantasies. Why would this man travel so far just for a bed and a half? After reading Han Sus message, Qiao Mu replied after a while, Senior, if this quota is approved, will there be a chance to reject it? Mu Mu, have you changed your mind? Han Su replied quickly. When Qiao Mu thought of how Han Su had gone through so much trouble to help her settle this matter, she immediately replied, No, I was just asking. Senior, thank you for your trouble. Anyway, the results had note out yet. With so many people fighting for a few spots, it might be impossible for her to get a spot. The misunderstanding between the two of them ten years ago was caused by Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya. When Li Yan deals with Yu Tingyun, the misunderstanding will naturally be resolved. There will be a turning point next, so it wont be tooplicated.. Chapter 226 - 226: He Spoiled Her Too Much Chapter 226: He Spoiled Her Too Much Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu temporarily put the exchange student matter aside. There was still some time before the holidays ended, so she would talk about it when the time came. Right now, Qiao Mu was focused on the design proposal. During the weekend, Qiao Mu had a headache thinking about the design proposal. Li Yan wanted to go out for dinner, so he brought Qiao Mu along when he saw that she was bored alone. Uncle, where are we going to eat? Qiao Mu asked on the way. Why dont we go to the noodle shop in our school? Li Yan nced at her coldly. You want me to go there to discuss business? It turned out that he wanted to talk about work. She thought that they were eating alone. When they arrived at the restaurant, Qiao Mu followed Li Yan into a private room. Su Chen was already waiting for them. Su Chenined helplessly when he saw who it was. Big Brother, youre alwayste. Its not a good habit to make people wait. After Su Chen finished speaking, he saw Qiao Mu following behind Li Yan, and the corners of his mouth curled up. So you brought along a burden. Qiao Mu looked at Su Chen. She thought about how Chi Xia had vomited all over him thest time, so she didnt mind the teasing in his words. Mr. Su, Im really sorry about what happened to my friendst time, she said politely. Su Chens smile froze. Can you not mention this to me before we eat? Do you want me to lose my appetite? Qiao Mu was speechless. It seemed that this matter had a huge impact on Su Chen. After so long, he still had a trauma! After sitting down, Su Chen handed the menu to Qiao Mu. Miss Qiao, order whatever you want to eat. Its your uncles treat today. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan beside her, and the man said indifferently, What do you want to eat? After obtaining approval, Qiao Mu ordered the dishes one by one. The price of each dish here was more than ten times more expensive than a meal at the noodle restaurant near her school. Qiao Mu would turn her head to look at Li Yan with an inquiring look every time she ordered a dish. Li Yan nodded his head cooperatively and agreed to all of them. After ordering a few dishes, Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan and asked, Just the three of us? Yes. Li Yan replied. Then order six dishes. Thats already a lot. As Qiao Mu spoke, she handed the menu to the waiter and obediently sat at the side to wait for food. Su Chen, who was sitting opposite him, silently observed the way the two of them interacted. Li Yan clearly had a cold expression on his face and did not seem to care much. However, based on his understanding of this man, his behavior showed that he cared a lot. In fact, Li Yan was a very reserved person in the past. People like them who had been pampered since they were young would not take others seriously. Even if he met someone he cared about, he would show it in a different way. Just like now, in Su Chens eyes, Li Yan was already spoiling Qiao Mu to the extreme, but Qiao Mu did not seem to feel it. Very soon, the dishes were served one by one. Qiao Mu started eating by herself while Li Yan and Su Chen were talking about some topics that she did not understand. Although Li Yan and Su Chen were brothers and they even nned the underground organization together, the Li Corporation and the Su Corporation were both businesses of their own. When they encountered some cooperation, they would sit down and discuss it seriously. When they were almost done chatting, Su Chen took a sip of tea and picked up his chopsticks to eat. Only then did he see Qiao Mus order. The six dishes were quite sumptuous with meat and vegetables, but there was one dish that Li Yan hated the most, stir-fried meat with mushrooms. Su Chen couldnt help but nce at Li Yan. Qiao Mu had clearly asked for his opinion when she ordered the dishes just now, yet he agreed without any objections? This was really puzzling. [A new day, Ill give Suying a rmendation ticket Chapter 227 - 227: He Won’t Allow Her to Cross His Bottom Line Chapter 227: He Wont Allow Her to Cross His Bottom Line Trantor: 549690339 What kind of person was Li Yan? He would never give up just for anyone. Even if the entire table of dishes was to his liking, as long as there was one dish that he did not like, he would never ce it on the table. Therefore, those around him who knew his taste would not order dishes that he did not like. Especially mushrooms! Li Yan had once said that mushrooms were like fatty meat when eaten. It affected ones appetite just by looking at it. However, at this moment, he allowed this dish to exist under his nose. When Qiao Mu saw that the two of them had stopped, she took the initiative to add more food for Li Yan. Uncle, eat this fried mushroom. Its delicious. You like fried mushrooms, so you must like this dish too. I specially ordered this for you. Su Chen was speechless. How could he not know that this mans taste had suddenly changed? Moreover, this was not the first time. They had eaten fried mushrooms together before! Su Chen watched quietly, waiting for the mans reaction. When Li Yan heard that, he lowered his head and looked at the mushrooms on his te. His expression did not seem to change as he hummed in agreement. Seeing his cold attitude, Qiao Mu seemed dissatisfied and advised, Uncle, dont just talk about business. Eat a few mouthfuls first. Seeing the little woman blinking her big eyes at him with concern, Li Yan picked up his chopsticks, picked up a mushroom, and put it into his mouth. The man chewed slowly, and Qiao Mu lowered her head to eat her own food in satisfaction. Su Chen was stunned as he watched from the side. He really ate it! Su Chenughed. I want to try it too. This dish looks delicious, isnt it, Big Brother? Li Yan looked up coldly. He raised his eyebrows slightly at Su Chens hint. Since you like it so much, Ill leave this te to you. Su Chen was speechless. Did he have to be so ruthless? Qiao Mu stood up. Uncle, Im going to the washroom. Li Yan nodded, and Qiao Mu left the room. Su Chen took the opportunity to tease the man opposite him. Big Brother, I really didnt expect you to eat mushrooms. Its as if youd eat a poison to please Qiao Mu if she gave it to you! Li Yan stopped drinking his tea. He had never thought of pleasing Qiao Mu, but he could not help but want to satisfy her when he saw her look of anticipation. As long as it was something he could ept, she could be willful as she wished, but he would never allow her to cross his bottom line! Before Li Yan could speak, Su Chen thought for a moment and said, Recently, the Qiao Corporation and the Yu Corporation have been in a mess. I heard that the Qiao Corporation wants to participate in the bidding for the design proposal of the Li Corporation. I know. Li Yans expression was indifferent. Seeing his reaction, Su Chen said, Qiao Mu is a member of the Qiao family after all, and she happens to be working in the design department of the Li Group. What if she has thoughts that she shouldnt have? Li Yan narrowed his eyes and his thin lips moved. There wont be such a what if! ? She paused for a moment before her voice deepened. If she dares to do this, she wont be treated like this again! He had given her a very good choice. If she did not choose, then dont me him for being cruel! Qiao Mu walked out of the bathroom and bumped into Qiao Ya. Qiao Ya frowned when she saw Qiao Mu. Why are you here? Why cant I be here? Why are you here? Why am I here? Im here to entertain guests! Qiao Ya looked at Qiao Mu with disgust in her eyes. Qiao Mu, dont tell me youre dating and are here on a date? Youre thinking too much. Im also here to socialize! After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she turned around and left. She came with Li Yan and did not want Qiao Ya to see her.. Chapter 228 - 228: Falling in Love Is Like Being a Thief Chapter 228: Falling in Love Is Like Being a Thief Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Ya watched as Qiao Mu left. She was just a small intern, what kind of social interaction did she need? Out of curiosity, Qiao Ya followed behind Qiao Mu and saw her enter a private room at the side. The expenses of this grand hotel were not something that ordinary people could afford. Could it be that Qiao Mu had hooked up with a rich man? Qiao Ya strode over and stood outside the private room that Qiao Mu had entered. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. Qiao Mu had just sat down for a while when someone knocked on the door. The room had a mahogany door with ayer of ss in the middle. Through the ss, people outside could not see inside, but people inside could see outside. Qiao Mu saw the person standing outside and looked at Li Yan. Uncle, its Qiao Immediately after, Qiao Yas voice came from outside the door. Qiao Mu, I know youre inside. Who are you meeting? Why are you hiding like this? Li Yan nced at Su Chen. Su Chen was helpless and said unwillingly, Big Brother, do you have to be a thief when youre in a rtionship? Qiao Mus lips twitched, and she could not help but look at Li Yan. How were they dating? Li Yan met her gaze and raised his eyebrows. Little thing, dont you want to be a thief? If you want to talk to me openly, then open the door. The man had a half-smile on his face. It was hard to tell if he was joking or serious. Qiao Mu grinned and leaned closer to him, saying in a low voice, 1 still like it this way. Its exciting! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. As if to stimte her even more, he kissed her on the lips. Qiao Mu froze and immediately turned to look at Su Chen. Fortunately, Su Chens back was facing them, so he did not see them! This man really acted like a hooligan regardless of the asion! Qiao Ya refused to give up and knocked on the door, thinking about who Qiao Mu was with. If Qiao Mu had any evidence against her, it would be easier to deal with that wretched girl in the future! Just as he was about to open the door and enter, the door to the private room suddenly opened. When Qiao Ya saw the person who opened the door, she was shocked and stood rooted to the ground with her eyes wide open. Brother ChenWhy is it you? Su Chens tall figure stood at the door, blocking out the entire private room. He raised his eyebrows coldly. Miss Qiao, I dont want to repeat the same words. Dont try to be familiar with me. Qiao Ya blushed awkwardly and immediately changed her words. Mr. Smith, why are you here? As Qiao Ya spoke, she tiptoed past Su Chens body, trying to get a better look at the situation in the room. However, Su Chen took a step forward and closed the door behind him,pletely blocking her view. Su Chens actions were obviously hiding something, but she had seen Qiao Mu enter this private room with her own eyes! Could Su Chen and Qiao Mu Qiao Yas eyes widened in shock. These two were on a date? Miss Qiao, do I need to exin my personal matters to you? Su Chen asked coldly. Personal matters In an instant, Qiao Ya confirmed her thoughts! There was really something between the two of them! Qiao Ya took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm. Mr. Su, I saw my sister enter this private room, so I came over to take a look. Youre mistaken. But Su Chen was a little impatient. Miss Qiao, do I know you well? His cold words were like a merciless p on Qiao Yas face, making her feel a burning pain on her face. He actually didnt give her any face! Qiao Ya clenched her fists tightly and looked straight at Su Chen. Weve known each other since we were young.. Arent we close? Brother Chen, dont you know how I feel about you? Why are you so cold to me? Chapter 229 - 229: Could It Be That You Are Infaithful? Chapter 229: Could It Be That You Are Infaithful? Trantor: 549690339 Facing Qiao Yas deep affection, Su Chens lips curled up in disdam. Move aside, I dont have time to talk nonsense with you! Qiao Yas expression froze. She had never been humiliated like this before. It was fine if she had run into a wall in front of Su Chen, but this time, it had something to do with Qiao Mu! After all, he was young and his mental fortitude was not good enough. He was so agitated that he could not hold it in any longer. He lost control and asked, Brother Chen, did Qiao Mu sow discord in front of you? Dont listen to Qiao Mus nonsense. Compared to her, Im clearly more familiar with you, so why are you going on a date with Qiao Mu alone?! Su Chen couldnt be bothered with her. He waved at the waiter beside him. Please call the security guard over. Shes blocking my way. Qiao Yas expression changed again and again. She red angrily at the door behind Su Chen and reluctantly turned around. Qiao Mu! She had been against her since she was young, and now she was even trying to snatch the man she liked! When she was young, she had snatched her uncle away and tried to sow discord between her and her uncle, causing him to ignore her. Now, she had shifted her target to Su Chen! Just as her mother had said, Qiao Mu had hidden all her schemes! She would definitely make that wretched girl pay the price! Inside the room, Qiao Mu listened to the conversation outside, and she could imagine how awful Qiao Yas expression was. Qiao Ya liked Su Chen and misunderstood that her rtionship with Su Chen wasnt simple. Now, this youngdy would definitely target her even more. Qiao Mu pushed her chin with both hands and sighed. So many years have passed, but Qiao Ya still likes Su Chen? Shes really loyal! Upon hearing this, Li Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Qiao Mu. Could it be that youre not faithful? Qiao Mu was instantly stunned. Then, the mans voice was low and deep as he questioned,So, youve used your feelings on many people over the years, right? Thest two words were spoken very softly, enough to show the mans displeasure. Qiao Mu immediately understood the meaning behind his words. He was alluding to their past! When Qiao Ya liked Su Chen back then, she happened to like him too. Now that Qiao Ya still liked Su Chen, she Qiao Mu tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled as she pretended to be careless. Im not. Uncle, Ive just be an adult. I dont have puppy love! Not puppy love! Li Yans eyes darkened. In other words, she had never been in love before she became an adult! He raised his hand and pinched her chin. His thin lips moved and he spat out a sentence that was unclear of his emotions.You only know how to y dumb! Im stupid to begin with! Qiao Mu smiled mischievously when she saw the displeasure on the mans face. Uncle, Im also very devoted. I only have feelings for you! Oh? Is that so? These words werepletely intentional to please him. It was obvious that he was ackey. Li Yans face darkened. He leaned over and was about to touch her lips when the door suddenly opened. Cough Su Chen coughed dryly, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere in the room. Li Yan paused in his actions and shot a sharp nce at Su Chen. He felt that Su Chen was an eyesore. How could Su Chen have known that his brother would be so agitated? What couldnt he do at home that he couldnt bear to do during a meal? If he had known that this was the situation in the room, he would definitely not havee in and be a third wheel! Li Yan let go of Qiao Mu and stood up with a cold expression. He walked out without turning back. Qiao Mu was stunned. Why was this man so unpredictable? Why did he suddenly change his attitude? Su Chen saw Li Yan walking out of the door. He wanted to say something, but before he could, the man had already disappeared. He said that he would treat today. Was it public or private? What did he mean by leaving without paying? Su Chen then looked at Qiao Mu, who was jogging behind Li Yan, and shook his head helplessly. Li Yans ability to make him uncertain had not changed at all.. Chapter 230 - 230: Don’t torture yourself Chapter 230: Dont torture yourself Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu did not follow Li Yan into the car. The man walked so quickly as if he was going to leave her behind. The car was extremely quiet. Qiao Mu nced at the man driving. Uncle, did I make you unhappy? She said that she was only loyal to him, and then he changed his face. She thought that pleasing him would make him happy. Actually, she wasnt trying to please him on purpose. Ever since she was young, she had only had feelings for him. She wasnt lying. These two days, this mans temper had been hard for her to fathom. The way he looked at her was always unfathomable and she could not understand it. Alright, she had never understood him. Li Yan did not say anything, and Qiao Mu did not know what to say either, but she still did not want him to be unhappy. After some thought, he couldnt help but exin, Uncle, Ive really never been in love. What Qiao Mu meant was that she had never dated anyone all these years. However, when Li Yan heard her words, it was as if she was emphasizing that they were not in a rtionship. Whether it was back then or now, it had nothing to do with love! The atmosphere in the car dropped. Li Yan tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His lips were pursed tightly, and the lines on his face were extremely cold. The bandage on his hand had been wrapped for more than half a month, but it had not been removed. It was so tight that his palm felt ufortable. Whether it was driving or doing things, he was in the way. He just wanted this woman to treat him better for the sake of his injury, so he pretended that his hands were not flexible. At this moment, he felt that it was very troublesome! He mmed on the brakes and stopped the car by the roadside. Qiao Mu pounced forward without any warning. She turned to look at Li Yan and saw him removing the bandage on his hand. He pulled the gauze down roughly. His brows were tightly knitted, and his expression was extremely bad. Qiao Mu was shocked and grabbed his hand to stop him. Uncle, what are you doing? Let go! Your hand is injured. You cant open it! Qiao Mu nervously grabbed his two hands that were moving about. She met his cold eyes that shed with a cold light and timidly said, Uncle, if youre in a bad mood Hit me, dont torture yourself. Li Yan paused. She was really nervous as she stopped him. He said that his hand was a knife wound, so she thought that he was seriously injured and might have hurt his bones. Therefore, for the past half a month, he had been bandaging his wound. She did not suspect anything at all. This woman! She would rather let him hit her than let him hurt her? Li Yan narrowed his eyes and held her hand. He pressed her against the seat and leaned over to kiss her. The kiss was punishing. Hisrge hand reached behind her and lifted her up, cing her on hisp. In the narrow space, the two of them were pressed tightly together. QIao mu nad a Dad teenng. Uncle, were In a car! Li Yansrge hand gently brushed across her back. His voice was extremely seductive. Didnt you say that you didnt want me to torture myself? Then I can only torture you! Qiao Mus body stiffened. As the two of them were entangled, the white gauze slipped from Li Yans hand. There were only a few shallow wounds on the back of her honey-colored hand, but they had already healed. Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment. Didnt he say that he had a knife wound? Where was the knife wound? The next second, she suddenly understood something. Qiao Mu widened her eyes. Li Yan, where are your injuries? Li Yan looked up coldly. Im going to remove the gauze, but you insist on stopping me and want me to torture you. I can only satisfy you! Qiao Mu was speechless. He suddenly felt like he had been cheated! Then, the man continued to move. F * ck! They were in a car! [Todays update is over. All of youe out and pop up. There are more girls popping up. Add one more update..] Chapter 231 - 231: Can You Be A Little More Forgiving To Me? Chapter 231: Can You Be A Little More Forgiving To Me? Trantor: 549690339 Although they were on the street, there was no one around on the way to the Li Familys vi area. Not a single car came in half an hour. There was very little room for movement in the car, and Qiao Mu could hit her head if she moved slightly, so she could only be at her mercy. A certain man was originally in a bad mood, but after some exercise, his temper was obviously better. Even his actions tofort her were a little gentler. He was indeed a beast! Qiao Mus face was red as she half-reclined on the reclined chair. She had maintained the same posture earlier, and her legs were a little stiff. How could he do such an embarrassing thing! Li Yan looked at the little woman and gently stroked her slightly messy hair with hisrge hand. His voice was low and hoarse after he was satisfied. Qiao Mu, if you make me angry again in the future, youll end up being abused. If you like to be abused, you can provoke me. Qiao Mu was speechless. What did she do to offend him? The man started the car and suddenly added, Even if you like to be abused like this, dont provoke me on purpose and let me abuse you. .!! Could he be any more shameless? Silence returned to the car once again. Qiao Mu saw that the mans expression had improved a little, so she inched closer to him and took the opportunity to curry favor with him. Uncle, can you not always be angry with me in the future? Can you be a little more tolerant and generous to me? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Are you saying that Im petty? He was stingy to begin with! Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Of course, she didnt dare to nod. She chuckled and said, 1ant say anytmng. uncle, aont De so sell-conscious. Li Yans expression darkened as soon as he finished speaking. Qiao Mu seemed to have found something to use against him, and she pointed at him boldly. Look, look, you changed your face again! You still say that youre not stingy. Is this a sign of generosity? Li Yan was both angry and helpless after hearing her words. He was clearly furious, but he could not re up. He grabbed her hand and red at her coldly. Do you know what it means to take an inch and take a yard after taking a mile? I know! Qiao Mu nodded. Seeing that he wasnt angry, she smiled like a little fox. Im just pushing my luck now! This little woman! It was as if she had figured out his temper. She was so arrogant in front of him, but he couldnt get angry. Qiao Mu stared at his injured hand and could not help but ask, Uncle, your hand has already recovered. Why is it still bandaged? The doctor said that we cant see the wind. We have to wrap it up. Only a ghost would believe his words! He was clearly lying to her on purpose! I wont be fooled again! A week passed, and the design departments proposal was finallypleted. They only needed to wait for it to be reviewed on the day of the bidding. After all, Qiao Mu was an intern. Ye Lin did not let her participate in such a big project. It was better not to let her participate. She would focus on her own n. When it was time to get off work, Qiao Mu received a text from Li Yan, saying that he was still in a meeting and that he wanted her to wait for him. Everyone in the design department had gotten off work at the same time. Qiao Mu sat in front of herputer and sent the proposal she had designed to Yu Tingyun. She had already tried her best to help the Qiao family and did not do anything against the Li family. This proposal was personally made by her. In the end, whether it was selected or not, she had tried her best. Qiao Mu drank some tea and came out to see Sun Ning, who had already left, return. Sun Ning answered the phone while looking around. He looked a little sneaky.. Chapter 232 - 232: Qjao Mu, Don’t Disappoint Me Chapter 232: Qjao Mu, Dont Disappoint Me Trantor: 549690339 Then, he heard Sun Ning speak into the phone, 0kay, I know. This matter is very simple for me. I just need to defeat her Manager Qiao, were taking what we need Sun Ning was about to leave with his bag when he turned around and saw Qiao Mu. He was shocked. Xiao Qiao, why are you still in thepany? Qiao Mu smiled when she saw Sun Nings flustered expression. Ill leave in a while after Im done with my work. Sister Sun, why are you back? Sun Ning concealed his flustered expression and said as if nothing had happened, Its nothing. I came back to get something. Ill be leaving first. Qiao Mu looked at Sun Nings back as he left in a hurry and was a little puzzled. Just now, Sun Ning called Manager Qiao. Also, what did he mean by everyone taking what they needed? Just as Qiao Mu was deep in thought, her phone rang, interrupting her train of thought. Looking at the caller ID, she picked up the phone and asked, Uncle, are you done with your meeting? Yes. Mm. The sound came from the entrance of the design department. Qiao Mu raised her head, and that tall figure appeared before her. She grinned and quickly walked over. There were not many people in thepany after work hours, so Qiao Mu followed Li Yan into the elevator. Qiao Mu looked up at the man beside her. Uncle, youve been very busy recently, havent you? She always gets off workte. Yes, the design proposal for the development of the citys north property will soon be open for bidding. It will be very busy after the real estate isunched. As he spoke, Li Yan looked down at her. Did you participate in the proposal of your design department? Qiao Mu shook her head. No. How could an intern like me participate in such a big project? I just watched them work from the side. Li Yan narrowed his eyes. Oh? Werent you always designing the n? Yeah, but it has nothing to do with thepanys n. They wont adopt my n. Qiao Mu said nonchntly. Actually, she did not deliberately hide this from Li Yan. After all, she had mostly asked for his opinion on this proposal. It wasnt a shameful thing for her to help her father design a proposal for hispany. She didnt know if her n would be adopted. If the Qiao Corporation didnt win the bid, then it would be as if nothing had happened. If the bid was sessful, she would show off to Li Yan that she had made it! If he could help the Qiao Corporation, he wouldnt be angry that she secretly made ns for the Qiao Corporation. Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu with a heavy gaze and did not say anything else. She had never told him about what Yu Tingyun had asked her to do. In fact, he would have helped her if she had asked him directly. However, she wanted to solve it herself! The elevator went straight to the parking lot. Li Yan walked straight to the car. Suddenly, he felt a warmth on his hand. He lowered his head and saw the little woman holding his hand naturally and being led by him. Li Yans heart wavered, and his eyes darkened. Qiao Mu, dont disappoint me! Yu Corporation. Yu Tingyun opened her email and received the design drafts from Qiao Mu. She looked at it carefully. Although there were many essence in this design n, it was still a little unfamiliar. The design department of the Li Corporations head office gathered elite talents. Everyone was very experienced. The proposal they came up with was naturally impable. They would not embarrass themselves at theirpanys bidding meeting with such a crude proposal. Could it be that Qiao Mu had given her the original n that had yet to be revised? At this moment, Qiao Ya walked in with a face full of joy. [The update will be added on the second day. Girls, continue to be awesome. The rmendation votes have risen to the top 30 this week..] Chapter 233 - 233: Plan Stolen Chapter 233: n Stolen Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Ya saw Yu Tingyun frowning and asked, Mom, its already time to get off work. You still have to work overtime. Dont tire yourself out. Yu Tingyun sighed. I have to look after the Qiao Corporation and the Yu Corporation. How can I not be tired? Just thinking about the Qiao Corporations recent matters gives me a headache! Qiao Ya came behind Yu Tingyun, pinched her shoulder, and asked tentatively, Mom, the Li Real Estates bidding is starting. Has there been any movement from Qiao Mu? He just sent me the proposal. Theputer showed this. Yu Tingyun pointed at theputer screen and said, That girl obviously doesnt want the Qiao Corporation to get the bid. We have to modify the proposal ourselves! Qiao Ya was stunned. She moved closer to theputer to take a look, then smiled smugly. Mom, youve been deceived by Qiao Mu! Yu Tingyun looked at Qiao Ya. Qiao Ya took out a document from her bag and handed it to her. This is the real proposal. Fortunately, Ive prepared it beforehand. Ive already said that its impossible to count on Qiao Mu! Yu Tingyun was stunned. She skimmed through the proposal and asked in surprise, Where did you get this? Ive told you that I have connections in the Li Group. That person happens to be in the design department and he doesnt get along with the manager of the design department. If the design departments proposal is leaked, the manager of the department will naturally be in trouble. Of course, that person is willing to help us. Qiao Ya smiled proudly. It was rare for her to do something that satisfied Yu Tingyun. She spoke with undisguised pride. Yu Tingyun was very happy. My precious daughter is so capable! That wretched girl Qiao Mu actually dared to fool me! As she spoke, Yu Tingyuns tone became doubtful. There are many differences between these two projects. Since the one youre holding is the final version, what did Qiao Mu send me? It must be a preliminary version, used to test the waters. In the end, it was not hired. Yu Tingyun shook her head. The version Qiao Mu gave me has many essential parts, but this final version doesnt use them. Qiao Yas eyes lit up. Mom, in that case, why dont webine the two ns? At that time, we will definitely win the bid! Yu Tingyun smiled, obviously agreeing with Qiao Yas suggestion. On the day of the auction, Qiao Mu went to work as usual while Ye Lin brought a few people to the auction venue. In the afternoon, Ye Lin returned. As soon as Ye Lin entered the design department, she threw the document in her hand onto the table and roared, Everyone, put down what youre doing ande over! The atmosphere suddenly changed. Whats going on? someone asked in confusion. Manager Ye is so angry the moment hees back! He must have lost the bid. He didnt win the bid that hispany held. How embarrassing! But our n is already very good. Werepletely confident! While everyone was discussing, a colleague who went to the auction said, Our n is indeed very good, but someone else has made it even more perfect. 70% of it is our n, and the 30% that has been modified is even more exciting! Do you think Manager Ye is angry because he lost the project? Its because someone stole our proposal and gave it to the Oiao Corporation! Everyone was shocked! Qiao Mu was also stunned. The Qiao Corporation had really won the bid! However, she had clearly given her proposal to Yu Tingyun.. Who had secretly given the proposal to the Qiao Corporation? Chapter 234 - 234: Making Qjao Mu a Scapegoat Chapter 234: Making Qjao Mu a Scapegoat Trantor: 549690339 Ye Lins face was livid as she said, We will get to the bottom of who betrayed thepany. The CEO has already found out about this. If the CEO investigated personally, that person will be sued! Sun Ning sneered. Manager Ye, who are you trying to scare? Dont forget, youre also a member of the design department. If something like this happens, you cant avoid suspicion either. Ye Lins face darkened. Are you saying that I leaked the proposal to otherpanies? Sun Ning, did you take the wrong medicine? What good would it do me to do this? Isnt this shooting yourself in the foot? Thats hard to say. I heard that a few days ago, you went to the CEOs office and were chased out in a sorry state. Maybe Manager Ye didnt get a good deal from the CEO and wanted to find another ce to stay? At the mention of this matter, Ye Lins expression turned ugly. Qiao Mu listened silently. She didnt know about this. Could it be that Ye Lin had done something to Li Yan in private and was punished? No wonder Ye Lin did not make things difficult for her during this period of time! Ye Lin red at Sun Ning. Youre really good at spreading rumors. I think youre the one who really has such intentions! Youre fighting with me for the position of manager, but you cant win against me, so you want to use this method to frame me? Youre delusional. The CEO will definitely investigate this matter! You Sun Ning was about to quibble when her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, her expression changed slightly. She walked to a corner where no one was around to pick up the phone. After picking up the call, Sun Ning lowered his voice.Manager Qiao, why are you calling me at this time? Were in a mess here! Augh came from the other end of the phone. Then, Qiao Yas voice sounded.What are you panicking for? Im here to help you. We need a scapegoat for this matter. Dont you have an intern named Qiao Mu in your department? You just have to push this matter to her. Sun Ning frowned. How can I do that? I did this to destroy Ye Lin. If I push the me to someone else, how can I deal with Ye Lin? It seems that youre still not smart enough. Ye Lin is the department manager and shes in charge of this case. What reason does she have to leak confidential documents? If you insist on pushing the me onto her, it will only make others suspicious of you. But then again, no matter who did this, Ye Lin didnt keep thepanys secrets well and will also be punished. In the end, wont you be the one taking advantage of her? Sun Ning thought about it and smiled. Manager Qiao is really thoughtful, but Qiao Mu was not involved in the nning of this project at all. What reason did she have to push the me onto her? How could a small intern attract Manager Qiaos attention? Qiao Ya sneered. Havent you noticed that both of our surnames are Qiao? Sun Ning was stunned, but he quickly understood what the other party meant. Qiao Mu watched as Sun Ning spoke softly on the phone. She suddenly recalled that day after work, Sun Ning sneakily came back to get something and even called Manager Qiao over the phone. Manager Qiao! Qiao Ya was a manager in the Qiao Corporation! At that time, she did not think too much about it. Now that she thought about it, something was wrong. Sun Ning and Ye Lin were not on good terms, so there was indeed a reason for them to do this. Qiao Ya needed to design a n, and Sun Ning needed to defeat Ye Lin. In this way, just like what Sun Ning said on the phone the other day, they would each take what they needed! Sun Ning hung up the phone and came back. Qiao Mu looked at Ye Lin and thought for a moment before saying, Manager Ye, on the day the n was finalized, I saw Sun Xiao Qiao! Sun Ning suddenly interrupted Qiao Mu.. Chapter 235 - 235: Splashed With Dirty Water Chapter 235: Sshed With Dirty Water Trantor: 549690339 The spearhead changed and instantly pointed at Qiao Mu. I suddenly remembered that one day, after work, I came back to get my things, only to see Xiao Qiao loitering around the office alone. She clearly had nothing to do, but she didnt get off work. Why was that? Sun Nings words made everyone look at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mus eyes narrowed. It seemed like the other party wanted to frame her! Since she was working with Qiao Ya, Qiao Ya hated her to death and would definitely nder her! Moreover, Yu Tingyun had asked her to do something, and she had used her own design proposal to impersonate her. How could the mother and daughter let this matter go? Sun Ning struck first, so she was in a passive position in this matter! But she didnt do it, so who could frame her? Qiao Mu raised her chin slightly and said indifferently, Sister Sun, you also said that you returned to thepany after work. Isnt your whereabouts suspicious? Im just an intern. Why would I do such a thing? Besides, I havent even participated in the project proposal. Where do I start? It does make sense, but ever since you came to thepany, Manager Ye has been making things difficult for you. Its inevitable that you hold a grudge. Sun Ning said and looked at Ye Lin. What do you think, Manager Ye? Sun Nings eyes were filled with provocation. Ye Lin was targeting Qiao Mu in every way, so she would definitely grab hold of Qiao Mus weakness and not let go. However, Ye Lin unexpectedly said, lf you want to talk about having a grudge against me, Sun Ning, your grudge is even greater, right? Dragging me down wont do Qiao Mu any good, but itll do you a lot of good. If I step down, do you think the managers position will be yours? If it was not long ago, Ye Lin would definitely not let go of Qiao Mu! However, Ye Lin knew very well that Qiao Mu had no reason to do so. With Qiao Mus rtionship with Li Yan, there was no need for Qiao Mu to interfere with thepanys matters if they wanted to deal with her! Sun Ning calmly sneered. Qiao Mu really wont get any benefits? Qiao Mus surname is Qiao. Dont you think that Qiao Mu has something to do with the Qiao Corporation? A cold glint shed across Qiao Mus eyes. The crowd was stunned, and a wave of discussion broke out. They both have the surname Qiao. Could they be rtives? That cant be. If Qiao Mu is rted to the Qiao Corporation, why would shee to ourpany for an internship?! Maybe its for this project proposal? When Qiao Mu came to thepany, it just so happened that thepany had signed a contract with Chengbei Real Estate! So, Qiao Mu came with a motive from the very beginning? As the discussion continued, Tang Jiajia couldnt help but say, Dont spout nonsense without evidence- How could Oiao Mil do such a thing?! Sun Ning sneered. Jiajia, Qiao Mu didnt deny it herself, so why are you so agitated? Well know if theres any rtionship after we investigate! Ye Lin did not expect this either. She was stunned for a moment and then asked coldly,Qiao Mu, is this true? If Qiao Mu was rted to the Qiao family, perhaps Li Yan was also kept in the dark? She did not dare to do anything to Qiao Mu after suffering a loss at Li Yans hands thest time. However, if Qiao Mu was really the one who did this, Li Yan would not let her off. If that happened, Li Yan would no longer protect her! At the thought of this, Ye Lin felt a sense of revenge. Qiao Mu clenched her fists. At this moment, she had no words to defend herself. If she admitted to her rtionship with Mrs. Qiao, then she was tacitly admitting it. At this moment, there was amotion at the door. President! Someone eximed. Outside the door, Li Yan and a few others happened to pass by. A middle-aged woman stood beside him. She had a cold expression and a noble face. [Im done with the fifth update. Ill continue updating tomorrow.. Im asking for all kinds of support Chapter 236 - 236: The Person Who Leaked The Secret Was Qjao Chapter 236: The Person Who Leaked The Secret Was Qjao Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan nced coldly at the messy design department. His cold face was expressionless. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan and subconsciously clenched her fists. He already knew about this matter, so he couldnt possibly think that she did it, right? NO! He would definitely believe her. Li Yan did not stop walking. Just as he was about to walk past the design department, Sun Ning immediately stepped forward. President, weve already found the person who leaked thepanys secrets. That person is Qiao Mu! Li Yan stopped in his tracks. The people behind him also stopped. His cold gazended on Sun Ning, then turned to Ye Lin. Manager Ye, is this how you manage the design department? Is this a workce or a market? Ye Lin panicked and lowered her head to apologize. President, Im very sorry. Im investigating the leak of the design proposal. After saying that, Ye Lin looked at Sun Ning. This matter hasnt been investigated yet. Dont talk nonsense! At this point, Sun Ning could no longer hold back. Manager Ye, the matter is clearly clear, so why are you still protecting Qiao Mu? Although Qiao Mu was the one who did this, Manager Ye cant get away with it either. Ye Lin lowered her eyes and smiled coldly in her heart. She advised him kindly on the surface, Sun Ning, stop talking. Dont speak without evidence. Sun Ning didnt know about Qiao Mu and Li Yans rtionship, and Ye Lin wished that Sun Ning would be more direct and overboard with his words. She didnt need to do anything personally as Sun Ning told her everything. Ye Lin had been warned by Li Yan, so she did not dare to act rashly. In front of Li Yan. she only needed to be a good person. As for exposure Oiao Mus bad deeds, she would leave it all to Sun Ning! No evidence? Because of Manager Yes negligence, your subordinate stole the proposal that we worked so hard toe up with. You still want to defend her? Sun Ning did not listen to her advice at all. It was not easy for Li Yan to be present, so she had to take the opportunity to push all the me onto Qiao Mu. Sun Ning pointed at Qiao Mu and said to Li Yan, President, shes the one who leaked thepanys secrets. This Qiao Mu is rted to the Qiao Corporation. She came to ourpany to steal trade secrets for the Qiao Corporation. If you dont believe me, you can investigate. Li Yans eyes were as cold as theke in the twelfth lunar month. Qiao Mus heart tightened. She stared at Li Yan and denied, It wasnt me! She was not afraid that others would misunderstand her, but she did not want Li Yan to not believe her. From the moment Yu Tingyun ordered her to do so, she had never thought of stealing the proposal. She was indeed involved in this matter, but she waspletely different from stealing! Just because you say its not you, its not you? Sun Ning pressed. I clearly saw you sneaking around after work that day! Qiao Mu frowned. The wicked were the first toin. She was clearly waiting for Li Yan that day! Qiao Mu anxiously met Li Yans gaze, only to realize that his gaze was abnormally cold. Lei Yi observed Li Yans expression and scolded angrily, The CEO will handle this matter. What are you doing here? Cant you see that the CEO is receiving customers? Sun Ning sneered. Assistant Lei Te, you finally couldnt resisting out to protect Qiao Mu. Everyone knows that Qiao Mu is your little lover. She used your rtionship to sneak into thepany! At this moment, the middle-aged woman beside him smiled faintly. President Li, I didnt expect to encounter such a lively matter today. The womans gazended on Qiao Mus face and paused for a moment before coldly retracting her gaze. President Li, you seem to have something to deal with, so you dont have to send me off. Ill be leaving first.. Chapter 237 - 237: As Long as He Believes Her Chapter 237: As Long as He Believes Her Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan nodded and nced at Lei Yi. Lei Yi understood and took a step forward. Director Shu, please. Ill send you downstairs. Shu Xinyu nodded and walked past the entrance of the design department. In the end, she nced at Qiao Mu again, her eyes full of scrutiny. Being stared at, Qiao Mu couldnt help but look back, but when she looked over, the other party had already averted his gaze. Someone who could talk casually in front of Li Yan must be a big client. The group left, leaving Li Yan alone. Sun Ning quietly waited for Li Yan to deal with this matter. Then, he heard a cold sentence. You, leave your post from now on. Li Yans tone was bone-chilling. When Li Yan said this, Sun Ning had his head lowered. As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Ning raised his head in surprise. He was curious whether the person who was forced to resign was Qiao Mu or Ye Lin! No matter who it was, it was a good thing for her. If it was Qiao Mu, then Li Yan believed her, and there was no need to investigate this matter! If it was Ye Lin, then she had achieved her goal! However, when Sun Ning looked up, she realized that everyones eyes were on her. She was stunned. Then, she heard Ye Lins voice.President, Sun Ning is indeed a bit talkative, but he doesnt have to resign, right? Ye Lin did not expect Li Yan to be so ruthless. While she was secretly happy, she was also very d that she did not say anything just now. Sun Ning froze. She was the one who was going to resign? Sun Ning stared at Li Yan in disbelief. President, its clearly Qiao Mu and Ye Lins fault. Why do you want me to resign?! How can you be so sure? You saw it with your own eyes? Li Yans lips curled up coldly. Ill get to the bottom of this matter. No one can think of distancing themselves from this. If Qiao Mu didnt do it, then you and your career can forget about having a foothold! Everyone was shocked. This time, they truly experienced Li Yans domineering aura. Li Yan turned around and was about to leave when he paused and said, Mypany doesnt need people who gossip! If I hear any more gossip, pack your things and leave! Li Yans performance made Qiao Mu feel more at ease. He believed in her! It didnt matter if others misunderstood her, as long as he believed her! Qiao Mu thought that she would definitely confess to him when she got home and exin everything clearly! Outside the Li Groups building, Shu Xinyu got into the car and dialed a number. She said calmly, Find out the background of Qiao Mu, who works in the Li Groups design department. The person on the other end of the phone responded and quickly reported the results. President Shu, this Qiao Mu is the daughter of Qiao Jiannan, the chairman of the Qiao Corporation. Biological daughter? Yes, to be precise, shes an illegitimate daughter. Qiao Jiannan had a child with someone else outside. She was raised by the Qiao family since she was young. The person on the other side paused and asked, President Shu, why are you suddenly asking about this person? Its nothing. I just feel that she looks a little familiar. She looks like a friend of mine. Shu Xinyu said lightly and then hung up. Recalling Qiao Mus face, Shu Xinyus cold expression softened. It was just a coincidence. However, the Qiao family really had the means to send their daughter to the Li family to do such a shameful thing! That Qiao Mu was extremely scheming at such a young age. She even hooked up with Li Yans personal assistant! A cold expression shed across Shu Xinyus face, and she did not hide the disgust in her eyes.. Chapter 238 - 238: He Doesn ‘t Believe In Myself Chapter 238: He Doesn t Believe In Myself Trantor: 549690339 In the evening, Li Yan had to attend a social gathering. Qiao Mu stayed at home untilte at night, but Li Yan still did not return. It was 12 0clock, but Li Yan did not call or send a message. Ever since themotion in the office today, she had not seen Li Yan. Even when he had a social gathering at night, it was Lei Yi who called to tell her. Qiao Mu stared nkly at her phone for a while, but she still did not make the call. Suddenly, the sound of a car engine came from outside the window. Qiao Mu immediately jumped down from the sofa. When she ran to the balcony, the car had already sped past the vi without stopping. Qiao Mu sighed dejectedly. She squatted on the balcony and rested her chin on her hands as she stared nkly at the empty courtyard. All of a sudden, she felt like she was being neglected, and her mood became low. At this moment, a ck Bentley Mulsanne was driving on the street. In the car, the man sitting in the back seat had his eyes closed and leaned backzily. However, his entire body was emitting an extremely cold aura, like a deep winter night, filled with frost that could not be dispelled. Suddenly, the man narrowed his eyes and said in a cold and deep voice, Hows the investigation going? Lei Yi, who was driving, nced at the man through the rearview mirror and said carefully, I checked Miss Qiaosputer. She did send an email to Yu Tingyun. At this point, Lei Yi could clearly feel the temperature in the car drop a little. He immediately added, However, we cant confirm the content of the email. Maybe the email has nothing to do with the design proposal. Maybe? His deep voice carried an oppressive coldness. Lei Yis body quivered. Young Master, I will investigate this matter as soon as possible and prove Miss Qiaos innocence. Li Yan pursed his thin lips slightly. The lines on his face were still firm and cold. Wheres Ye Lin? Yeh Lin has already investigated this matter thoroughly. This matter has nothing to do with her. After all, doing this will not benefit her at all. She will not take such a big risk to frame Miss Qiao. Lei Yi paused and observed the expression of the man behind the car. He could not help but ask, Young Master, you dont trust Miss Qiao? Li Yans cold and charming eyes darkened. Under the dim light in the car, they seemed even darker. He didnt believe Qiao Mu? No! He did not believe in himself! He had always been arrogant and conceited. Everything was in his own hands, and he could not tolerate the slightest uncertainty. However, she was the only exception. She was like a weakness that the heavens had arranged for him, making him helpless! When he heard the contents of Qiao Mus phone call and learned about Yu Tingyuns arrangements for her, he did not express his opinion and waited for her to make a decision! He had always held onto a glimmer of hope, hoping that she would not disappoint him this time! However, when he saw the design proposal that Mrs. Qiao took out, he was already certain that she was involved in this matter. Many of the ideas in that proposal were his opinions! During this period of time, she had been busy. It must be because of this matter. At the thought of this, he clenched his fists tightly. As long as there was a little uncertainty, it was enough to make his chest suffocate. The car stopped. Li Yan looked at the lights in the house and narrowed his eyes slightly. As soon as Li Yan got out of the car, he saw a ck shadow jump up from the balcony. Then, a delicate voice rang out in the quiet night sky..Uncle! Chapter 239 - 239: Am I Too Forgiving to You? Chapter 239: Am I Too Forgiving to You? Trantor: 549690339 That petite figure stood in the shadows of the balcony. The light behind her bloomed, making it look so surreal. Li Yan stood where he was, his long and narrow eyes narrowed as he quietly watched the scene in front of him. Was this woman waiting for him? Qiao Mu did not know how long she had been squatting on the balcony as she listened to the sound of cars passing by. There were not many cars in this wealthy district, but it was alreadyte at night, yet there were still cars passing by from time to time. She had thought that it was Li Yans car several times, but she had waited for nothing every time. Leaning against the railing, she almost fell asleep in a daze. Then, she heard a car drive into the vis courtyard. Qiao Mu immediately sobered up and jumped up. However, she had squatted for too long and her legs were numb. She lost her bnce and almost fell. She kicked her legs and limped to Li Yan. Uncle, youre back! The woman in front of him smiled like a flower and stumbled over. His gaze swept across her feet. What happened to your feet? Qiao Mu smiled and said disapprovingly, 1m fine. I just went numb from squatting. Are you numb from squatting? She had been waiting for him on the balcony? She had been living with the Li family for a while. Every time he came homete, she would either fall asleep or watch TV in her room. She had never been so passionate and silly as to wait for him on the balcony. His heart suddenly fluctuated, and his emotions were suppressed in his chest. After stepping into the house, Li Yan took off his coat, and Qiao Mu immediately went forward to catch it and served him attentively. Li Yan looked at her every move coldly. Her solicitous ttery made his suppressed emotions explode in an instant, and his anger surged! Only when she did something wrong or had something to ask of him would she be so attentive! His initial uncertainty was confirmed by her performance! His gaze darkened as he looked down at her. Qiao Mu, are you trying to please me and make up for your mistake by doing something wrong? Qiao Mus warm face was immediately stered to her cold butt. The mans cold attitude made her momentarily confused. She shook her head in a daze. Uncle, I didnt. No? Li Yans face darkened. Are you saying that you didnt participate in the design proposal, or that you didnt deliberately curry favor with me? Qiao Mus eyes widened in astonishment when she heard his words. He They thought that she had stolen the design proposal! He still did not believe her! How could he suspect her? She had no reason to do this! Or was he angry because she had designed a n to give Yu Tingyun a gift without telling her? The mans expression was cold. He raised his hand and held her chin. Do you think that Ill let you off just because youre trying to please me? He paused and his voice became even more gloomy.lf you want me to stand on your side and deal with Yu Tingyun, I agree! You want me to help Madam Qiao, I will help! Qiao Mu, when have I ever mistreated you? Youre one on the surface, but youre another in private! I told you not to try to scheme against me. Am I too lenient to you that you think you can do whatever you want in front of me? Li Yans eyes pressed on Qiao Mu, and the depths of his eyes emitted an extremely cold light. His words struck her heart word by word. His voice was bone-chilling, and it made Qiao Mu feel extremely pressured. At this point, she felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. So, she was so unbearable in his heart. Although she had never felt that she was noble and upright, after such a thing happened, he had directly convicted her! Chapter 240 - 240: Li Yan, I Hate You! Chapter 240: Li Yan, I Hate You! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus heart sank bit by bit, and she clenched her fists tightly. The words that he wanted to exin were stuck in his throat. She lowered her head and denied in a stiff tone, I didnt scheme against you! They did not dare to act recklessly! I dont even have time to curry favor with you, so how dare I offend you! Li Yans eyes darkened, and his face darkened. His thin lips curled up into a mocking sneer. Since you want to please me, then you have to act to my satisfaction and help Yu Tingyun do things behind my back. Qiao Mu, youre still as cunning as before! Li Yan only felt his anger burning. He had lost his mind from Qiao Mus provocation, and every word that came out of his mouth became cruel. His heart felt heavier and heavier, as if a knife had stabbed into his heart. This heartless woman! Back then, he had stabbed her with a big knife, and now she still hadnt changed her bad habits! Li Yans words made Qiao Mus face instantly turn pale. Her chest felt like it wascking in oxygen, and even her heavy breathing became difficult. Her methods werent any worse than before? What right did he have to say such words? Taking a deep breath, she bit her lip and looked at him. Uncle, what do you mean? Dont tell me you dont know what I mean! Li Yans malicious eyes seemed to be on fire. I gave you a chance, but you just ignored it! Since you want to be with me so much by pleasing me, Ill satisfy you! Qiao Mus entire body stiffened. The man pressed closer, and the bone-piercing coldness made her shiver uncontrobly! She had always known that this man was terrifying when he was angry, but he had not really been angry with her for a long time, so she had forgotten how terrifying this man was! Just as Qiao Mu was in a daze, the man directly leaned forward and pressed Qiao Mu against the sofa, his tall body pressing down on her. Qiao Mus body stiffened, and her face turned even paler. Uncle, what are you doing The mans eyes were bloodshot, and Qiao Mus unwilling expression further infuriated him. She was so unwilling, yet she still wanted to get close to him and please him! Didnt you want to please me? Ive been tricked by you time and time again. Are you secretly happy in your heart? Do you think Im a fool whos been deceived by you? Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock and shook her head in panic. Uncle, thats not it, dont be like this Hiss Qiao Mu only felt a chill on her body, and she lowered her head in panic. Her t-shirt was forcefully torn apart! Hisrge hand took control of her body and lowered his head to gnaw on her neck. With a strong possessiveness, he seemed to want to crush her! Qiao Mu stared at the man in front of her in horror and struggled with all her might. Her voice trembled uncontrobly.Li Yan, you said you wouldnt force me again! Upon hearing this, the mans body froze. Qiao Mu held onto a sliver of hope, but it waspletely useless. In the next second, his body moved and almost tore her apart! Qiao Mus face instantly paled as she gritted her teeth and roared, Li Yan, you bastard! You liar! Get lost, get lost! Liar? Qiao Mu, were about the same! Qiao Mu was in so much pain that she almost suffocated. Her hands clutched at his chest forcefully, as if she wanted to return the same amount of pain he gave her! Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the mans expression did not change. Her resistance further infuriated him. Qiao Mu, promise me that you wont make any more mistakes and Ill spare you! I didnt do anything wrong! Li Yan immediately narrowed his eyes. Then, he heard the womans hysterical resistance.Li Yan, I hate you! [I wont continue to abuse you. There will be a big change in the next two days.. Trust me Chapter 241 - 241: Never Let Go Again Chapter 241: Never Let Go Again Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan, I hate you! Li Yans body froze as soon as he finished speaking. She raised her head and suddenly realized that her ck eyes were covered with ayer of mist, and her eyes were filled with hatred. That hatred was like a sharp weapon, stabbing him fiercely! Her heart was clenched into a ball! Li Yan felt as if all the anger in his body had been sucked away. All his crazy actions stopped in an instant. Damn it! Qiao Mu wiped away the tears that had yet to flow and red at the man before her, unwilling to give in. Even if her body could not resist him, she would still silently resist! Li Yans expression was ugly. She was like a hedgehog with thorns. Her stubborn and unyielding attitude made her treat him as an enemy! The pressure in his chest was unbearable. He withdrew from her body and vented on her. He did not feel any pleasure at all. He only felt that his heart was even more empty and helpless! When had he ever been so defeated? Even ten years ago, it was not like this! She had thought that she had reached her limit when she cared about someone back then, but now she realized that it was only because of her youthful feelings. Even if he were to encounter the same thing as back then, he would never let go of her again! But Must she torture him to death? Would she die if she cared more about him? Did she think that he couldnt do anything to her, so she dared to hide everything from him and make her own decisions? Li Yan felt even more depressed when he thought of this. He really couldnt do anything to her! Even if he hurt her, he would only be in more pain than she was! He sighed and hugged her tightly in his arms. His tone was unusually dejected and frustrated. Qiao Mu, is it so difficult to promise me that you wont make any more mistakes? Hearing his words, Qiao Mus nose turned sour, and the grievance in her heart swept over her, The emotions that she had suppressed for a long time suddenly exploded. The tears that she had held back when she was in the most pain just now fell down. She bit her lip, her face pale. Her tone was stubborn, with a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat, and there was even a faint sob in her voice. Im not wrong! Looking at her big, watery eyes, Li Yan took a deep breath and lowered his head to kiss her eyes, taking away the salty tears. The body in his arms suddenly froze. Even though she tried her best to hide it, he could still feel itHer entire body was trembling! She was afraid of him! Realizing this, Li Yan felt as if his chest was blocked by something. Every breath he took was painful! During this period of time, he had finally managed to close the distance between him and her. This time, all his previous efforts were in vain! Li Yan stood up and carried her petite body before striding upstairs. Qiao Mu silently shed tears, and she was soon ced on therge bed. There was a burning pain somewhere. She stared at the man beside her warily, afraid that he would suddenly go crazy again! Suddenly, the man opened her legs and her body froze. Then, his voice rang in her ear,Does it hurt? His voice was very low and deep, with a hint ofHeartache? Qiao Mu bit her lip tightly, and her tears that had yet to dry faintly flowed out again. Suddenly, she felt a chill down there and realized that he was applying medicine for her. Li Yans face was tense as he looked at the red and bloody area. However, he was very gentle when he applied the medicine. After applying the medicine, he changed her messy clothes. The little woman resisted silently from the beginning to the end. Her petite body was curled up under the nket with her back facing him. He hugged her from behind.. He would never allow her to reject him! Chapter 242 - 242: She Was Actually Cold and Violent to Him! Chapter 242: She Was Actually Cold and Violent to Him! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus body tensed up. She waited for a while, and only rxed after seeing that the man didnt make any other movements. Suddenly, a mans voice rang in her ear.Qiao Mu, dont anger me anymore. There was a faint sigh in his tone of voice, which stunned Qiao Mu. How could he do this! He had been as crazy as a wild beast just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he was hugging her so carefully, as if he was afraid that she would be hurt at all! Qiao Mu only felt dizzy. After torturing herself for the entire night, she was now overwhelmed with sleepiness. She could no longer tell if his attitude toward her was an illusion. When Qiao Mu woke up the next day, she received a notice from Ye Lin that she was temporarily suspended for investigation! Although it was sudden, he was not surprised. Based on Li Yans affirmation of her crime, she thought that she would at least be fired and her internship record would be marked with a dark history that could not be erased. Although she didnt want to go to work anymore, she couldnt ept the fact that her internship was over and she suddenly encountered such a thing! If she was unwilling, she would not make things difficult for herself. Qiao Mus stomach grumbled as she went downstairs to eat. Everything was as usual except for the man in the room. Li Yans expression was ugly. Afterst night, this little woman no longer resisted him openly. Instead, her every move was filled with rejection towards him. She actually used cold violence on him! After Qiao Mu finished her meal, she silently walked past Li Yan and headed for the door. Stop! ? Where are you going? Li Yan asked coldly. He could not take it anymore and went forward to stop her. Im a sinner now. Am I not allowed to go out? Young Master Li, do you still want to ground me? Qiao Mus tone sounded gentle, but there was a hint of rebellion hidden beneath her words, enough to make the mans expression turn even uglier. Her calling him Young Master Li was a great insult to Li Yan! This woman! He clearly knew that she had not repaid him, yet he still dared to be so arrogant! He didnt have the slightest self-awareness to make a mistake! Qiao Mu, youre not allowed to go anywhere before this matter is investigated! Li Yan said in a deep voice. You have to stay under my nose until I prove your innocence! What if Im not innocent? Didnt you already confirm that I did itst night? If you find out that I stole the design n for the Qiao Corporation, will you finish what you didnt finishst night? Obviously, she was still holding a grudge for what happenedst night! Li Yans eyes darkened and his thin lips moved. I wont! Qiao Mu was stunned. She couldnt help but resist for a moment. She never thought that she would get a response from him, but his no didnt seem credible to her at all! Sincest night, she no longer believed what he said! Qiao Mu looked up at Li Yan. Then please find the evidence, President Li. Dont let a liar like me get away scot-free! Calling him Young Master Li and then President Li pushed Li Yan a hundred thousand much away! Her every word was filled with resentment! Only then did Li Yan realize how vengeful this little thing was! Although her words were full of thorns, he was helpless! Last night, he was indeed too impulsive. After a night, he had already calmed down. Although he knew that she was involved in this matter, he did not believe that she was the one who had stolen and leaked the secret. She stubbornly refused to admit her mistake, presumably because she really did not do it. However, she was so agitated by her attitudest night that she lost her mind, causing the scene to go out of control. [Todays update is over. Im asking for all kinds of support. Finally, everyone, Happy New Years Day.. Everything will be beautiful in the new year Chapter 243 - 243: Grounded Chapter 243: Grounded Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu and lowered his voice. If you didnt do it, I wont use you wrongly. Now, stay at home obediently. As expected, she was grounded! Qiao Mu snorted in her heart. If she didnt want to go out, then so be it! He didnt believe her, so there was no point in exining. She was just waiting for him to investigate the matter and see if he would still be so righteous towards her! Qiao Mu turned around and was about to head upstairs, but her cold attitude made Li Yan frown. He asked coldly, What are you doing? Im not going out. Ill go upstairs, okay? Are you worried that Ill jump off the building and escape? Dont worry, I wont lose my life! After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she walked upstairs,pletely treating Li Yan as air. Whatever he said, she had no right to resist. She had to be obedient, alright? Looking at the figure in the corridor, Li Yans face darkened. Was this little thing trying to anger him to death? It was only then that Li Yan realized that her fawning over him was not infuriating. The most infuriating thing was her cold attitude towards him. That kind of alienation from the inside out made him angry, but he had no way to vent it! Qiao Mu was simrly extremely depressed. She returned to her room and immediately crawled into bed to sleep. She slept until noon. Qiao Mu opened her eyes andzily stretched her arms. She turned around and saw a certain man sitting on the sofa in the room. He was flipping through documents with his head lowered. There was a pile of documents on the coffee table in front of him. Did this man treat the bedroom as a study? He said that she had to go under her nose, and he really did what he said. He even had to watch her sleep! The man seemed to have heard themotion. He looked up and met her gaze. Qiao Mu nonchntly retracted her gaze and turned her back to him, pretending not to see anything. Li Yan put down the documents in his hands, got up, and walked to the bed. Time to get up and eat. Im not hungry. Just as she finished speaking, Qiao Mus stomach grumbled disappointingly, and her face turned red. Why couldnt she fight back?! Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. I didnt say that I was going to torture you. I didnt give you food. You dont have to reflect on yourself. Qiao Mu secretly gritted her teeth. I didnt do anything wrong, so why should I reflect on myself?! As if she was determined to be angry with him to the end, she lifted the nket and got out of bed in a muffled voice. Go eat! Qiao Mu felt extremely ufortable cooped up in her room the entire day. What made her even more ufortable was that Li Yan followed her closely. She was watching TV in the living room while he was reading documents in the living room. She went back to the bedroom to y with her phone, and he followed her back to the bedroom to continue reading his documents! Qiao Mu felt suffocated and flustered being watched by him! At night, after dinner, Qiao Mu curled up on the sofa in a bad mood. Chi Xias call came in time to share her worries. Qiao Mu repliedzily, Hey! Chi Xia asked in puzzlement, Young miss, whats wrong with you? The sky has just turned dark, and youre already asleep? I havent woken up all day. As Qiao Mu spoke, she nced at the man beside her and said into the phone, Xiaxia, when are youing back? I broke thew and have been monitored. If you donte back, Im afraid it will be difficult for us to meet again. Li Yan paused in his actions as he flipped through the documents. He frowned slightly. Chi Xia was stunned. Whats wrong? Trouble again? Dont you have an omnipotent uncle? Dont mention this person to me. I dont have an uncle who doesnt recognize anyone. Almost as soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, the man opposite her swept his cold gaze over in displeasure.. Chapter 244 - 244: Sooner or Later, You I ll Get Sick from Boredom Chapter 244: Sooner or Later, You I ll Get Sick from Boredom Trantor: 549690339 Feeling the mans icy gaze, Qiao Mu ced her legs on the coffee table, her feet swaying leisurely. In contrast to the mans coldness, Qiao Mu wasnguid and at ease, as if the words she had just said had nothing to do with him. Then, Chi Xias exmation could be heard from the other end of the phone, Mu Mu, the person who grounded you is your uncle? Qiao Mu raised her eyelids and nced at a certain man, and she grunted in response. This is too much! Youre grounded? How can a grown man be so petty! Right? I think so too. I havent gone out all day today, and Im in a bad mood. Do you think Ill get early menopause if I continue like this? Qiao Mus tone was full of bitterness. As she spoke, her symptoms seemed to worsen, and she no longer had the strength to speak. The person on the other end of the phone paused, and his tone became helpless. Mu Mu, why are you being so pretentious? Dont tell me your uncle is right next to you? Qiao Mu was speechless. This bad friend! He was not worried about her condition and even dared to say that she was pretentious! Was she being pretentious? She was angry at the man opposite her for calling him a beast! Let him malign him! Let him bully her! He couldnt resist openly, but he couldnt let her anger him in a roundabout way! Qiao Mu didnt reply, but Chi Xia finally understood. Mu Mu, your uncle is already very good to you for letting you act so arrogantly in front of him. Be content! Qiao Mu was speechless. Chi Xia was a bad friend to the end! She did not know how much Li Yan had gone overboard with her, yet he still wanted her to be content! Qiao Mu snorted. Hurry up ande back. When I get depressed, Ill still need you to enlighten me! Its a little difficult for someone like you to have depression. Chi Xia said sarcastically. Alright, I wont talk about fun with you. Ill continue to be depressed! After hanging up the phone, Qiao Mu nced at the man opposite her. Seeing his gloomy expression, her mood instantly lifted. Suddenly, Li Yan threw the document on the coffee table and said coldly, Are you depressed? Qiao Mu pursed her lips and remained silent. The mans expression darkened. He stood up, walked around the coffee table, and walked toward Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu was stunned. She immediately retracted her foot from the coffee table and hugged her legs as she stared at him warily. What are you doing? Donte over! Her face was filled with wariness, causing Li Yan to stop in his tracks. Damn it! Was he that terrifying? Since she was afraid of him, she still dared to beat around the bush to anger him! Just as Qiao Mu was looking at Li Yan nervously, Li Yans phone rang, and she instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Although she resisted him secretly, she was still very afraid of him. After all, he was like a demon when he went crazy. However, she could not continue to pretend to please him! Li Yan felt frustrated when he heard his phone ring. He answered the call with a cold face and said in a deep voice,What is it? Ling Xis voice came from the other end of the phone, Big Brother, theres an entertainment program at my bar tonight. Are youing? No! The cold voice replied. Brother, arent you bored staying at home all day? If it were me, I would have fallen sick from boredom! Suffering from boredom? Just now, the little thing said that she was about to suffer from depression. Li Yans eyes darkened, and he lowered his gaze to nce at Qiao Mu. That little thing averted her gaze to the side and deliberately ignored him. That made Li Yan angry and helpless. This woman! [Continue to updateter] Chapter 245 - 245: There Are Followers Wherever You Go Chapter 245: There Are Followers Wherever You Go Trantor: 549690339 In order to avoid danger, Qiao Mu got up and returned to the bedroom while Li Yan was still on the phone. She had only taken a few steps when a mans voice suddenly sounded behind her. Where are you going? Go back to your room and sleep! Qiao Mu kept walking forward. Li Yan put down the phone and said calmly, Youve been sleeping all day. How can you fall asleep so early? Yes! It was better than facing him here! Li Yans casual words carried a hint of temptation as he said slowly, Then go to sleep. I have something to do and I have to go out. You said that you were bored and I wanted to bring you along to relieve the boredom. Since youre sleepy, Ill go out mysell. Just as Li Yan finished speaking, Qiao Mu suddenly stopped and turned to look at him. Youre bringing me there? Arent you going to sleep? Qiao Mu snorted. If she didnt want to go, then so be it. She still felt ufortable being with him! She went upstairs angrily. Qiao Mu sat by the bed, and the man behind her followed her into the changing room to change his clothes. Going out to fool around in the middle of the night, his days were really carefree! Li Yan changed his clothes. When he came out, he saw a certain little woman looking like a little resentful woman. Her big eyes were following him around. Li Yan looked at her helplessly. If you want to go, then change your clothes. I dont want to go. Ill still be monitored by you if I go out. Its better to stay at home. Li Yans face darkened. She was really stubborn. She clearly wanted to go out and rx, but she refused to give in to him. Her voice turned colder. If you didnt remind me, I would have forgotten. Since Im spying on you, how can I leave you alone at home? Go change your clothes! Qiao Mus eyes widened in anger. Youre really treating me like a criminal?! Li Yan did not reply. He threw the clothes hanging on the hanger to her. Change into them. Dont waste time! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth in anger. She knew he wasnt so kind as to take her out to relieve her boredom! Outside Bar 76. Qiao Mu got out of the car and followed behind Li Yan. Qiao Mu pursed her lips as she looked at the huge bar signboard in front of her. His nightlife was really rich! After entering the bar, what entered his sight was a unique environment. Elegant singing entered his ears. Qiao Mu looked towards the stage and realized that the woman singing on it was the popr singer Ni Lele! For a bar like this to have a celebrity sing in it, it was obvious that they had a strong backing. Just as Qiao Mu was absentmindedly sizing up the beauty, she suddenly felt a warmth on her hand. Only then did she realize that the man walking in front of her had slowed down and was holding her hand. Qiao Mu subconsciously swung her hand, but she received a cold re. She raised her head and met the mans warning gaze. She said confidently,l thought a pervert was taking advantage of me! Li Yan was speechless. He didnt say anything along the way. The first thing he said was indirectly calling him a pervert! Ling Xi and the others were sitting at the table closest to the bar counter. The three men sitting there lit up the bars atmosphere. Fortunately, the light in the bar was dim, otherwise, the surrounding womens spying gazes would be obvious. Lu Jingzhi was slightly stunned when he saw the tall figure walking over. Xiao Si, didnt you say that Yang is noting? Thats right, big brother must be Before he could say anything, Ling Xi saw Li Yan appear in front of him. Then, he saw the person beside Li Yan. Ling Xi smiled.Now, no matter where Big Brother goes, hes following him around. Hes almost sticking to me! Qiao Mu pursed her lips.. Did he think that she came willingly? Chapter 246 - 246: The Two of Them Are Bickering Chapter 246: The Two of Them Are Bickering Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan nced at Ling Xi and the other two. You guys are really bored. You have a lot of time for entertainment every day. Ling Xi smiled. Isnt there an entertainment program today? As the boss, of course I have toe and support you! In the end, they were just idle. Young Master Li naturally wouldnt feel bored with women, but the few of them were different. They worked every day and it was so boring! Li Yan sat down, and Qiao Mu silently sat down one seat away from him, maintaining a distance. Li Yans expression darkened instantly. At the same time, the other three men instantly understood that these two were fighting! Looking at Young Master Lis face, it was so gloomy that it seemed like the weather was about to change. The originally happy atmosphere was suddenly disrupted by him. Ling Xi nced at the two of them and was truly a little worried about Qiao Mus safety. However, Qiao Mu did not think much of it and just sat there obediently. No matter when or where, she would continue the cold war until the end! Li Yan coldly nced at Qiao Mu. Come and sit. Qiao Mu concentrated on the person singing on the stage and pretended not to hear anything. This arrogant attitude really made people secretly sweat for her. She looked at Li Yan again and saw two big words written on his cold face:Awkward! However, how could the word awkwvard exin Young Master Lis current mood? It was simply the prelude to a storm! Who would dare to ignore Young Master Li like this? Before Qiao Mus appearance, anyone who dared to affect Young Master Lis mood would only be dead! However, not many people had the ability to provoke this big Buddha. Just as the three people who were watching the show thought that Li Yan was about to explode, they realized that the mans face was only cold and he did not get angry! Not only could he sessfully anger Young Master Li, but he could also make him endure and not get angry. This was really a powerful ability! Big Brother, what do you want to drink? Su Chen asked to ease the atmosphere. Only then did Li Yans gaze leave Qiao Mu. He coldly spat out two words, Anything! Qiao Mu looked at Ling Xi. Mr. Ling, youre the boss. Can you treat me to a cocktail? As soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, Ling Xi felt a certain mans cold gaze sweep over. This Qiao Mu, dont drag him down with you if you dont know your ce. She came with her uncle, but she did not let her uncle give her anything to drink. Instead, she came to find him through his narrow-minded brother! Ling Xi braced himself and waved at the waiter before cing the wine menu in front of Qiao Mu. What do you want to drink? Order it yourself. Qiao Mu flipped through the wine list and looked at the beautiful cocktail designs on it. She ordered several cups one after another. As if sensing Li Yans thoughts, Lu Jingzhi said, Big Brother, theres almost no alcohol content in the cocktail. You wont get drunk. Li Yans eyes shed and he snorted coldly. Do I need you to tell me that? Do you think Im a fool? Puff . Ling Xi almost couldnt hold it in andughed out loud. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Alright, he shouldnt have provoked a certain man when he was on fire. He couldnt bear to lose his temper at his own woman, but he implicated the people around him. Whats so great about dating? Soon, five cocktails were served. Qiao Mu picked up a cup and took a small sip. The taste wasnt bad, and she drank it in one gulp. Then, the second cup, the third cup When she picked up the fourth ss, arge hand reached over. Then, she heard the mans deep voice. You drank this as a drink? Dont drink so fast! [Todays update is over. Recently, the update time has been a littlete.. Please rmend it Chapter 247 - 247: I Don I t Like Other People Touching My Things Chapter 247: I Don I t Like Other People Touching My Things Trantor: 549690339 Was he concerned about her? Qiao Mu nced at the mans extremely awful expression, but in the end, she still grunted and put down the wine ss. Actually, this man was really good to her sometimes, but when she thought about how he had done evil deedsst night and how he did not care about her when he was angry, she felt very wronged. So what if he was nice to her asionally? If something really happened, he would still turn his back on her! At this moment, a slender figure walked over. Qiao Mu looked up and realized that the person was the singer Ni Lele. Ni Lele was born into a talent show and rose to fame in a single leap. Qiao Mu quite liked the songs that she sang, and she sang them quite well. Ni Lele stood beside Ling Xi and smiled, Young Master Ling, Im honored to be invited to liven up your bar today. I hope there will be such an opportunity in the future. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. This was just a bar and could not bepared to a big stage. Wasnt Ni Lele being too humble when she said she felt honored? Ling Xi nced at Ni Lele and smiled faintly. Whether theres a chance in the future or not, thats up to the manager of the bar. Ive never cared about how this ce is run internally. It was obvious that he was not interested in her. Ni Lele smiled awkwardly and nced at the four men at the table. All of them were handsome and extraordinary, and their power was greater than the sky! Being in the entertainment industry, he naturally had some understanding of these rich single men. Before this, Ni Lele had tried to approach Su Chen, Lu Jingzhi, and Ling Xi, but they were all cold and uninterested in her. She did not expect Li Yan toe after that, so she would not let go of the opportunity to get close to him. Qiao Mu looked at Ni Lele, who was standing right in front of her with an amiable look. She smiled and said, Miss Ni, your song was very nice, especially when you sang the Heavenly Queens song, Fleeting Years. It was so tasteful! Qiao Mu suddenly spoke, causing Ni Lele to be slightly stunned. Only then did he notice that there was another woman at the table. Ni Lele saw her sitting alone at the side. There were empty seats on both sides, so she must not be an important character. He only took a nce and did not even bother to show a smile before shifting his gaze away. Qiao Mu was stunned. Wasnt the difference in attitude too great? She wasnt chasing after a celebrity. She was just expressing her preferences. She was directly ignored by the other party! Li Yan looked coldly at the little thing being ignored. A cold light shed in the depths of his eyes. He raised his eyelids and looked at the person who did not know what was good for him. Li Yans actions made Ni Lele smile. Ni Lele picked up the cocktail that Qiao Mu had yet to touch and toasted Li Yan with a smile. Mr. Li, Im very happy to meet you today. Its my honor to have you listen to my song. Another honor? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. She didnt think much of being liked by her, but Li Yan felt honored upon hearing it? Why was she honored? Decisive negative review! I wont listen to this person sing anymore! Ni Leles behavior made the three men who were silently watching the show gloat at the same time. Finally, someone hade knocking on the door! However, before Li Yan could speak, he saw Qiao Mu stand up. Qiao Mu snatched the cocktail away from Ni Leles hand impolitely. Her warm attitude from before had long disappearedpletely. She smiled coldly at Ni Lele. Sorry, this ss of wine is mine. Im a germaphobe and dont like others touching my things! There was a hint of dominance in her tone.. Although she was talking about wine, her attitude was as if she was saying that this man was hers! Chapter 248 - 248: The Little Woman Finally Couldn ‘t Hold It In Chapter 248: The Little Woman Finally Couldn t Hold It In Trantor: 549690339 As soon as Qiao Mu said this, everyones gazended on her at the same time. That pretty face looked like a high school student. She was so obedient and cute that there was no dignity to be seen. However, the words she said, her cold gaze, and her high and mighty attitude were so domineering! Qiao Mu had been together with a character like Li Yan for a long time, so she was more than capable of dealing with a character she disliked. Li Yan looked at the little woman in front of him, and his eyes shed slightly. The coldness in his eyes softened a little after hearing his words. She actually said that she had mysophobia? Where was her obsession with cleanliness? When she was with him, she was sloppy. How could he tell that she was a clean freak? Ni Lele was the most embarrassed. Someone was snatching a ss of wine from her! The next second, the wine ss in Ni Leles hand was snatched away. Qiao Mu took the wine ss and nced at the cocktail that had been touched before tossing the ss and wine into the trash can under the table. Qiao Mu raised her chin and said arrogantly, Ive been touched and theres bacteria. I dont want to drink anymore. Ni Leles expression changed. Who was this woman? How could she be so arrogant? Qiao Mu, why did you throw away the cup as well? Ling Xi asked in a provocative tone. The cups are not disposable. If there are bacteria, they should be disinfected. The crystal cups here are all expensive. Disinfect? These words made Ni Lele feel awkward. Didnt she just touch her wine ss? It wasnt dirty! When Ling Xi spoke up for Qiao Mu, Ni Lele thought that Qiao Mu and Ling Xi had some kind of rtionship, so she said sensibly, Young Master Ling, Im very sorry. Its my fault. How much is this wine ss? Put it on my tab. Qiao Mu pursed her lips and sat back down on the chair. Whoever brought me here will be responsible forpensating me! Little girl, who brought you here? Ni Lele asked with a smile. Qiao Mu nced at him. Youre here to check the household register? Why should I tell you? Qiao Mu was a person who would return 10 points of respect when others respected her. If others were disrespectful to her, she could not expect her to give them a good look. When she was being unreasonable, even Li Yan would be angered half to death, not to mention that the other party was not even half a finger of Li Yans! Ni Lele was very sessfully provoked by Qiao Mus straightforward attitude and felt extremely awkward. At this moment, a waiter passed by with a ss of wine in his hand. Ni Lele took a ss of wine and continued toasting Li Yan. This time, Ni Lele did not touch Qiao Mus wine. Li Yan sat there without batting an eyelid. Ni Lele raised her ss to him, but he did not respond to her. He raised his eyes and swept them over Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu only felt a wave of annoyance in her heart. What kind of gaze was that? The more he looked at her like that, the more she ignored him. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, and a faint smile appeared on his cold face. The little woman who had been cold to him for the entire day was finally about to lose her cool! Li Yan leaned backzily on the sofa and swirled the wine ss in his hand. Qiao Mu thought that he was going to respond to Ni Lele. Qiao Mu looked at Ni Lele. He cant drink it. Dont tempt him intomitting a crime. Ni Leleughed. Little girl, you really know how to joke. I only toasted Young Master Li with a ss of wine. How is that a crime? This call of little sister, little sister made Qiao Mu feel extremely ufortable. Qiao Mu raised her arm and unceremoniously separated Ni Lele from Li Yan. She coldly replied, Hes driving hometer.. Isnt it a crime to drink and drive? Chapter 249 - 249: Qjao Mu ‘s Black-bellied Chapter 249: Qjao Mu s ck-bellied Trantor: 549690339 Ni Lele sensed Qiao Mus hostility and immediately understood that this woman was also eyeing Li Yan! Seeing that Li Yan did not say anything, Ni Lele became more confident. She lowered her head and looked at Li Yan. Young Master Li, if youre drunk and dont have a chauffeur, I can help you. No need! Qiao Mu was the one who said this. Qiao Mu took a sip of her cocktail and calmly said, Miss Ni, I told you that Im a germaphobe! I dont like people touching my things, and I dont like strangers being my chauffeur. Ni Lele was stunned. She was Li Yans chauffeur. What did it have to do with this girl? Seeing that the other party still did not understand what she meant, Qiao Mu truly felt thatmunicating with this kind of person was too tiring. Qiao Mu pointed at Li Yan. Miss Ni, this is my uncle. Im going home with him. If you want to be his chauffeur, arent you going to be my chauffeur? Ni Lele suddenly realized that the woman in front of her had a powerful background! She had identally made Li Yans nephew herpetitor! Ni Lele instantly smiled warmly. Little girl, dont be angry. You dont like your uncle drinking, so I wont toast you anymore. I wasted your cocktail just now. Can I make it up to you? Qiao Mu sneered in her heart. His expression changed so quickly. Did he really think that she was as easy to fool as a child? She nodded. Sure. Order whatever you want. Ni Lele handed the wine list to Qiao Mu as if she was an acquaintance. Just as the men who were watching the show were guessing that Qiao Mu would reject Ni Lele next, they saw Qiao Mu unceremoniously take it and happily order several cocktails. What was puzzling was that Qiao Mu was still very much against that woman getting close to Li Yan just now, yet she epted the other partys benefits in the blink of an eye? Only Li Yan could see that the little things eyes were shining with a hidden scheme! Qiao Mu ordered a few cups of expensive cocktails and slowly drank them. Then, she turned around and said to Ling Xi, Young Master Ling, your cocktail is so delicious! Ling Xi was speechless. He did not understand what Qiao Mu meant at all. Ni Lele was left out in the cold. Qiao Mu turned around and saw that she had not left, so she pretended to be surprised. Why are you still here? Ni Leles lips twitched awkwardly. She did not want to waste time with Qiao Mu anymore and looked at Li Yan again. Young Master Li, what would you like to drink? Ill order some drinks for you. Li Yans gaze was fixed on Qiao Mu the entire time. When he heard her voice, he raised his eyes slightly and swept his cold gaze over. Name? Ni Leles expression froze. She was a popr singer and her songs had been ying all over the streets recently, but Li Yan did not know who she was! Ni Lele gritted her teeth and smiled.Young Master Li, my name is Ni Lele. Im Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a cold voice.Do I know you? Ni Lele was stunned. Then, she heard the mans voice. Miss Ni, who gave you the right to stand by my side and not leave? Ni Leles face turned green and white after hearing Li Yans words. She looked extremely ugly. Her gaze shifted to Qiao Mu, and she smiled. Young Master Li, your niece likes to listen to me sing. Can I sing a song for her? Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu raised her head and revealed an innocent smile. Miss Ni, my youngest uncle hates me listening to vulgar songs the most, so dont sing for him. Also, you seem to be mistaken. Im not his biological nephew.. Chapter 250 - 250: Uncle Is Just My Favorite Name For Him Chapter 250: Uncle Is Just My Favorite Name For Him Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu gulped down a few free cocktails in one go and kindly exined, Uncle is just a pet name for him. As for our rtionshipTell me, which uncle and nephew live together? Ni Lele was speechless. A pet name? What did a pet name mean? It was not strange that her uncle and niece were living together. What was strange was that Qiao Mus tone when she said this was filled with ambiguous hints! Qiao Mus words immediately rendered Ni Lele speechless! If Ni Lele still could not react at this moment, she would really be extremely stupid! She lowered her head to look at Li Yans calm expression. He was not angry at Qiao Mus words. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips! Ni Lele instantly felt as if she was being yed by a little girl. She red at Qiao Mu with a flushed face and could only silently swallow her loss. Ni Lele couldnt afford to lose face anymore, so she turned around and left. Immediately after, Qiao Mus voice sounded from behind her.Miss Ni, thank you for the cocktail. Its really delicious. Dont forget to pay! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, and his eyes sparkled. His dark eyes, which had been silent for the entire night, were now covered with ayer of warmth because of Qiao Mus performance. Puff Ling Xi finally couldnt hold back herughter. Qiao Mu, look at how badly youve bullied that beauty! Qiao Mu drank her cocktail nonchntly. I helped you promote so many expensive cocktails, shouldnt you thank me? Thank you, Sister-inw! Ling Xi cupped his fists. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes. Young Master Ling, using random titles will kill you. Im a guilty person now, and this title of yours will make someone think that Im coveting this position. If thats the case, Ill die unjustly! Hearing this, Li Yan frowned slightly. This womans performance was not bad just now, and now she said such words to anger him! He was still holding a grudge! Looking at Li Yans expression, Lu Jingzhi smiled and whispered to Su Chen, This Qiao Mus ck-bellied level is really bing more and more simr to a certain man! Su Chen shook his head helplessly. Big Brother spoils her too much. She said that she is a guilty person. Is she referring to the Qiao Corporations bid? Second Brother, do you think Eldest Brother will still indulge Qiao Mu after we have concrete evidence? This is not something you should worry about. Su Chen paused and changed the topic. I heard that your fiance came to you from Hong Kong? You still have the mood to care about Big Brothers private life? Lu Jingzhis face darkened. Second Brother, youre really bringing up the sore spot. Youre ruining my good mood! Ling Xi leaned over. What fiance? Since when did MO have a fiance? Call me brother! Little San is so friendly. Ling Xi smiled and changed his words. Third Brother, whats up with your fiance? When are you getting engaged? Dont tell me shell get married earlier than Justin? Lu Jingzhi sounded impatient. Dont worry, I definitely wont! Ive never taken this marriage seriously! Since you want to break off the engagement, you should tell your family about it as soon as possible. Dont make thingsplicated, Li Yan said calmly. Lu Jingzhi nodded and Li Yan continued, Youre not young anymore. You should think about this so that your family wont rush you. Su Chen was speechless. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Ling Xi was speechless. Was this what Young Master Li said? Young Master Li, who had not been close to women for 28 years, had never cared about his love life. Now that he had a little nephew, he actually started to rush them! At this moment, a cocktail ss fell to the ground with a crisp sound and shattered. [New week, give Suying a rmendation ticket..] Chapter 251 - 251: We’re Not Cold War Anymore Chapter 251: Were Not Cold War Anymore Trantor: 549690339 On the other side, Qiao Mus small face was slightly red. She held her chin in one hand and a straw in the other. Cocktails of various colors were ced in a row in front of him. Qiao Mu put the straw into the wine ss and drank all the wine in one go. As if it was fun, he finished the first cup and then the second. After a while, there were several empty cups on the table. Just as she was drinking one cocktail after another, the straw identally touched the ss and the ss fell to the ground. The four men looked over. Qiao Mu looked at the shattered ss by her feet and was momentarily unable to react, her face filled with innocence. She just felt that it would be a waste not to drink the free cocktail. Anyway, she was bored alone and could not chat with a group of men. She could only entertain herself. Lu Jingzhi smiled. Brother, you should take care of your wife first! She got drunk without looking at him. Qiao Mu, youre here to cause trouble today, arent you? Are you going against my wine ss? Its really a headache to have to serve this little ancestor every day. Qiao Mu was speechless. Why couldnt she understand what they were talking about? Looking at the empty ss in front of Qiao Mu, Li Yans cold gaze swept towards Lu Jingzhi. Didnt you say that you wouldnt get drunk without alcohol? Lu Jingzhi coughed lightly. Who knew that your little nephews alcohol tolerance was so low that he could get drunk after drinking this kind of wine? Qiao Mu held the straw and was about to continue drinking when she suddenly felt someone grab her wrist. She looked up and met his deep eyes. Lets go home, Li Yan said coldly. Oh. Qiao Mu was not drunk, but she was a little dizzy. She felt as if she was floating on air, and just like that, she was led out by Li Yan. On the way, Qiao Mu was in a daze, but she still clearly knew that she was in a cold war with the man beside her. She had been wronged for the whole day. Under the influence of alcohol, she could not control her emotions. She really wanted to pounce on the man and strangle him, asking him why he had wronged her! Li Yan noticed that Qiao Mus face was flushed red. He frowned slightly and reached out to touch her forehead. Why is your face so red? Are you really drunk? Qiao Mu was stunned when the warm handnded on her forehead. She pped the hand away.Dont touch me! Li Yans eyes darkened. Qiao Mu bit her lip and hatefully said, Liar! This big liar! He had clearly said that he would not bully her anymore! Qiao Mu! Li Yans face darkened. Are you trying to anger me again? Qiao Mu grunted and sullenly turned her face to the side. Her tone was indignant as she softly muttered, Hes already like this even though he didnt anger me. If he did, wouldnt I die a miserable death? The little womans tone was full of resentment. She had been like a spiky hedgehog the entire day. The car stopped. Qiao Mu got out of the car and headed straight into the house, but she was stopped by Li Yan. Li Yan hugged her petite body in his arms and said helplessly, Little thing, Im not angry at you for the mistake you made back then. Were not going to have a cold war anymore. The mans voice was low and deep, like the cool night breeze, causing Qiao Mus entire body to quiver. She looked at the man in front of her in shock, thinking that she was hallucinating. But He wasnt angry at her for the mistake she made back then? Qiao Mu only felt a stifled breath in her chest as a ball of fire burned in her chest. What had she done? Regardless of whether it was now or in the past, what did she do wrong? Why was he so high and mighty, acting as if he had forgiven her? [The matter from ten years ago has begun to be revealed. Young Master Li will soon know that it was a misunderstanding back then. We will continue to updateter..] Chapter 252 - 252: You ‘re Just Using Me Chapter 252: You re Just Using Me Trantor: 549690339 If he said he wasnt angry, then he wasnt angry. If he said he would forgive, then he would forgive! What right did he have? This man was always like this. He could do whatever he wanted. No one else had the right to control his mood! Just like how he treated her well when he wanted to, but when he didnt want to, he disappeared without a word! In an instant, all the alcohol rushed to her head, making Qiao Mu dizzy. He felt that every breath he took was burning. Sincest night, she had been suppressing her emotions. When she heard Li Yan mention what had happened back then, her emotions suddenly became agitated. She took a deep breath and curled her lips into a sarcastic smile. Li Yan, I dont need your forgiveness. I didnt do anything wrong! Whether its back then or now, its all right! Li Yans eyes darkened. He kept backing off andpromising with this little woman. He didnt care about the past and didnt care about all her mistakes, but what he got was her attitude! This woman! Did she not feel that she had done anything wrong by approaching him with a motive? Li Yan looked at the blushing woman with a cold face. He narrowed his eyes, lifted her face, and pressed it against hers. The kiss was punishing. There was a sweet taste in her mouth. Such a soft and delicious mouth could always say things that made him mad. Qiao Mu let out a grunt as she pounded Li Yans chest with both hands. Then, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on his reckless tongue. Li Yans brows paused for a moment. Then, he deepened the kiss, not giving her any chance to resist. Because of the alcohol, Qiao Mus body felt light and weightless. At this moment, her body no longer had any support, and she leaned against Li Yans chest. Suddenly, the mans authoritative voice rang in her ears, Qiao Mu, dont provoke my temper again and again! When Qiao Mu met that ice-cold gaze, the grievance in her heart multiplied. She bit her lip and red at his cold face angrily. Li Yan, you liar! You didnt keep your word! You always bully me and never care about my feelings. What do you take me for? After saying that, Qiao Mu grumbled aggrievedly, Thats right. Youre just using me. Why would you care about me? Li Yan narrowed his eyes. What did you say? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Youve been using me since we were young. In order to anger Yu Tingyun, you deliberately got close to me. I was still like a fool, thinking that the big brother next door was really good to meSo it was just a scam! Li Yans face darkened. She was clearly the one who had used him, but she was the one whoined first! It was rare for this little woman to show such an aggrieved look. Her watery eyes seemed to be covered in ayer of mist, and she looked extremely serious. Half of Qiao Mus current state was driven by alcohol. If it was any other time, she would never mention the incident from back then in front of him. After the two of them got together, they seemed to have a tacit understanding not to mention ten years ago. To him, that was a very bad memory, and she never took the initiative to mention it. Li Yan suddenly realized that something was wrong. Ten years ago, Li Yan was about to move and was busy with school matters, so he did not see Qiao Mu for many days. Suddenly, one day, when he returned home, the butler told him that Qiao Mu was waiting for him in the Qiao familys backyard. He thought that he should tell her about moving. If she agreed, he would bring her along! Chapter 253 - 253: Regret Ten Years Later Chapter 253: Regret Ten Years Later Trantor: 549690339 Ten years ago, Li Yan was about to move and was busy with school matters, so he did not see Qiao Mu for many days. Suddenly, one day, when he returned home, the butler told him that Qiao Mu was waiting for him in the Qiao familys backyard. He thought that he should tell her about moving. If she agreed, he would bring her along! He had thought that she would nod happily and agree to his request. But When he arrived at the Qiao familys residence, he overheard the conversation between Qiao Mu and Qiao Ya. Qiao Mus small face flushed red with anger as she shouted in exasperation, Big Brother likes me. Didnt you say that he dotes on you more because hes your biological uncle? You tried to please him, but he ignored you. However, no matter what I say, he is very concerned. You cantpare to me in this aspect! Qiao Mu, youre really scheming! Qiao Ya said disdainfully. Dont be so smug just because uncle likes you! If Uncle finds out your motive for getting close to him, lets see if he will still like you! Are you going toin? Qiao Mu scorned. Tell him that I deliberately got close to him and used him as my backer to not be bullied! You definitely wont tell him. Im afraid he wont believe anything you say! At that time, there was a huge outdoor pool beside Qiao Mu and Qiao Ya. The reflection of the water in the pool hit Qiao Mus face, making her small face look extremely unreal. Li Yan stood not far away and watched for a while before he finally turned around and left. He left for ten years. At that time, Li Yan did not find it strange that Qiao Mu had already lost control of herself from anger before he arrived. He also did not notice the sinister smile on Qiao Yas face when he turned around. After all, he was young and not that calm. After hearing that sentence, his heart sankpletely. After that, Qiao Mu did note to the Li residence to look for her again. Li Yan had calmed down for a few days. He wanted to find Qiao Mu and rify things with her. Even if she had ulterior motives, he had to ask her clearly. However, the person he saw was Qiao Ya. Qiao Ya reluctantly walked up to him. Uncle, I heard that youre moving? I heard from my mother that I didnt believe her and wanted to drag Qiao Mu to ask you, but who knew that Qiao Mus attitude was especially cold when she found out that you were going abroad. She even said Say what? Li Yan asked in a deep voice. If you say that you want to move out, then you have no value. Qiao Ya said innocently, then asked with a puzzled look, Uncle, what does this mean? I asked my mother, but she only said that Qiao Mu was too scheming and that she didnt want me to learn from her. Thinking of this, Li Yan should have been angry, but now he felt a trace of regret If only he had not been blinded by anger back then, if only he had been a little calmer and gone to see Qiao Mu, perhaps everything would have been different! At that time, he also thought that she was scheming, but how was that possible? At that time, she was so naive and ignorant that she would believe him even if he tried to fool her. How could such innocence be faked? He had only overheard her and Qiao Yas exasperated conversation and had already convicted her. He did not even question her personally and just left! Up until now, he had never regretted any decision he had made, but the regret in his heart at this moment made him unable to calm down. Looking at the little woman who was getting more and more unconscious, Li Yan scooped her up and entered the house. The little woman kept mumbling the word liar as if he was the culprit. If she really thought that he was worthless after using him, why did she think that he was with her to anger Yu Tingyun? How did she know that the Li family and the Yu family were not on good terms? He seemed to have a clue about many things. Li Yans eyes turned cold, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile. [There will be a total of four chapters updated before 12 0clock today. I will be saving up my drafts recently. Starting from this Friday, I will update five chapters a day for six days. I will make up for the missing chapters.

He said in a low voice, Qiao Mu, lets talk. Qiao Mu opened her eyes in a daze. Talk about what? How did you lie to me? Big liar! Li Yan frowned when she called him a liar. After drinking, the little thing became bolder. It said whatever it wanted to say. Usually, no matter how unhappy it was, it would only beat around the bush. However, the more stubborn she was, the more it showed the grievance in her heart. All these years, she had always thought that he had used her. That was why she refused to open her heart to him! Li Yans voice sank as he looked at the delirious little thing. He asked in a low voice, Qiao Mu, what did I lie to you about? What did he lie about? Qiao Mu blinked nkly. Suddenly, the corners of her mouth ttened, and she bit her lip aggrievedly. Ayer of tears appeared in herrge eyes. She raised her hand and pointed at her chest. Her pitiful look made ones heart ache. She did not speak. Li Yan sighed and said helplessly, Did I lie to you about your body? Qiao Mu shook her head, but she quickly nodded vigorously and mumbled, Your heart is gone, and your body is iplete! My heart! Qiao Mus body curled up into a ball bit by bit, and her tears fell with a plop almost as soon as she finished speaking. Li Yans chest throbbed as if it was being pulled by an invisible hand. He had never felt so excited and happy before. His cells were rolling in his body, making him unable to control his emotions for a moment. This was the first time he had heard such pleasant words from her mouth. This was something that she would never say when she was sober. This little thing was so stubborn and stubborn. She was never willing to admit defeat in front of him. Li Yans coquettish eyes sparkled, and his tone was a little helpless. Little thing, if I had known earlier, I would have gotten you drunk a few more times. Perhaps everything would have been resolved. Qiao Mu pushed Li Yan away, her voiceced with tears. Go away, dont touch me. I hate you, I hate you to death! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Youve already given me your heart, yet you still hate me? That was in the past. My heart is still mine now! Qiao Mu pouted and red at Li Yan with her big, tearful eyes. She waspletely rebellious! If you give it to me, dont even think about getting it back! Li Yan lowered his head and covered her mouth. Hisrge hands started to move. Didnt you say you hated me? Ill prove to you if you really hate me! Thatrge hand reached into the clothes with familiarity and controlled everything. Qiao Mu was groggy, and she felt her entire body go limp as all her senses were taken away. The injuries from a few days ago had already disappeared. However, because Li Yan was too eager, she frowned in difort. It hurts She bit her lip and mumbled. She felt a little ufortable, but she had no idea what she was doing. Li Yans movements paused for a moment, but he quickly became gentle. From the beginning to the end, Qiao Mu felt like a small boat in the ocean, without any ability to resist and could only rise and fall with the surging waves that came crashing toward her. After that, Li Yan touched her wet face. This girl was obviously still drunk. She had a problem with being drunk. She had a ckout and could not remember what happened that night. She wondered if she would remember what she had said and done tonight when she woke up tomorrow. His phone rang. Li Yan took it and looked at the caller ID. Then, he stood up and went to the balcony to answer the call.. Chapter 255 - 255 -You’re Taking advantage of Her! Chapter 255: -Youre Taking advantage of Her! Trantor: 549690339 The call went through, and Lei Yis voice came from the other end. Young Master, the matter has been investigated. Sun Ning, a staff member of the design department, is in contact with Qiao Ya. The two of them have worked together on projects before, but they are not familiar with each other. Before the bidding, the two of them were in close contact. Sun Ning and Ye Lin are not on good terms. I think Sun Nings goal is to defeat Ye Lin. Li Yan listened without saying a word. Then, Lei Yi continued to report, The proposal that Miss Qiao sent to Yu Tingyun is another design proposal. It seems tnat MISS QIao macle It nerselt. Hegaramg tne leak or tne proposal, MISS Qiao is innocent. Li Yans face darkened and he said coldly, Since they dared to steal the n under my nose, Ill make them pay double the price! You mean to deal with the Qiao family? Dealing with Madam Qiao? Li Yan turned around and nced at the little woman in the room. If he really did that, that little thing would probably fall out with her again. He wouldnt do anything to make things difficult for her! His thin lips moved and spat out two words, Yu Corporation! He paused for a moment before continuing. Attack the Yu Corporation in advance. We cant drag the Qiao Corporation into this. I want to acquire the Yu Corporation as soon as possible! Yes, Young Master! When Qiao Mu woke up the next day, she only felt a headache and was groggy. Subconsciously, she wanted to get up and get ready for work, but she quickly realized that she had already been suspended. He moved his body slightly and found that his waist was being controlled by an arm. She looked up and saw his face right in front of her. The mans face was too close to Qiao Mus, so she was momentarily unable to react. The scenes fromst night surfaced before her eyes. Even if Qiao Mu wanted to forget, she remembered them clearly! She wished she could find a hole to hide in. Didnt she say that she would never get drunk again? Why did she always cause trouble after drinking? What lousy cocktail? It must have been mixed with bad alcohol. Otherwise, how could she get drunk after drinking so little? Uh, alright, she drank quite a bit. Qiao Mu nced at the face in front of her. Her movements were very gentle as she tried to remove his hand from her waist. However, when she moved slightly, that arm tightened its grip on her waist and pulled her body toward him. Qiao Mus body stiffened. Just as she was staring at the face in front of her to see if he had woken up, she saw his thin lips move slightly, and then she heard his voice.What are you doing so early in the morning? Qiao Mu was speechless. Youre the one whos not honest! When she thought ofst night, Qiao Mu pushed him with a red face and pretended to have amnesia as she red at him. You, you, you What did you do to me? Li Yans eyes slowly opened. His tone waszy and sleepy, but there was also a hint of mockery.You dont know what I did to you? Dont act like its your first time. !! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth in anger! Her big eyes widened and her tone was very unhappy. You took advantage of mest night and bullied me again! You promised not to force me, but you cant keep your word every time! His voice was low and heavy, with a hint of drowsiness. Are you sure I took advantage of her? Instead of you taking the initiative to seduce me? Nonsense! If you dont remember, how do you know that Im talking nonsense? Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and pushed him away while hugging the nket. She had forgotten that she was still in a cold war with him. Dont think that the cold war ended just because he took advantage of herst night! Chapter 256 - 256: Qiao Mu, Let’s Make Up Chapter 256: Qiao Mu, Lets Make Up Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan sat on the headboard and pulled Qiao Mu into his embrace, letting her lean against his chest. He said domineeringly, Qiao Mu, I allowed you to be willful for one day. Its time youve caused enough trouble. Qiao Mus heart sank. He had always felt that she was willful and unreasonable! He had misunderstood her without any evidence and had set a crime against her, yet he still wanted her to be obedient and please him as usual? She could not do it! Qiao Mu bit her lip and turned her face to the side. She didnt speak and ignored him, silently protesting. In front of him, she had no human rights at all. She could only swallow her anger! Seeing the little thing like this, Li Yan said helplessly, Stop messing around with me. Cant you be more obedient? All of a sudden, his tone sounded like he was coaxing a child, and she could not get used to it for a moment. How could he be like this? One moment, he was fierce as if he wanted to eat her up, and the next moment, he was calm as he said these things to her! Her tone was very stiff as she said angrily, If you want a bed that doesnt have a temper and is obedient, you can buy a doll that cant talk. Why did youe to me? Li Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at her. Qiao Mu, you know that I dont purely treat you as my bed. Qiao Mu was stunned. She bit her lip and muttered, dont know! If it wasnt half of the bed, then what was it? Sometimes, he was so fierce to her that he even treated her better in bed! Li Yan sighed and lifted her up with hisrge hands. He let her sit on hisp and wrapped his arms around her tightly. Qiao Mu felt awkward in this position. His tall body enveloped her like a father hugging his daughter. Just as she was about to break free from his embrace, she heard the mans low and deep voice slowly ring in her ear.Qiao Mu, lets reconcile. Qiao Mus body stiffened, and she raised her head in astonishment to meet those deep eyes. He stared at her with a heavy gaze and then said again, What happened in the past is in the past. Little thing, dont be so awkward anymore. The mans words struck Qiao Mu like a cool breeze, causing her to instantly quiver. When he told her not to be angry with her, his tone was so high and mighty, as if not being angry with her was a great gift to her. But at this moment, his attitude waspletely different! Qiao Mu had always felt that Li Yan had always been arrogant and arrogant, and he did not put anyone or anything in his eyes. When he faced her, he was so domineering and overbearing that it was ridiculous. When had he ever taken the initiative to make peace with her in such a humble manner?! The man in front of herWhy did such a huge change happen overnight? What happened in the past was in the past? In the past, including ten years ago? Including how he lied to her ten years ago? Qiao Mu didnt know what she was feeling, but she bit her lip tightly and still didnt voice her thoughts. She had clearly umted a lot of resentment in her heart over the past two days. She thought that she had long given up on him and would never forgive him! But why did she soften when he said that he only coaxed her a little? Why was she still as stupid as she was back then? No matter what he said, she would always be coaxed into submission? Qiao Mu clenched her fists, feeling indignant. She raised her head and met the mans deep gaze. His dark eyes were like a deep pool, sparkling with stars. There was a hint of gentleness that she was familiar with and unfamiliar with Qiao Mu raised her chin. If you want to reconcile, fine.. Apologize to me! Chapter 257 - 257: We’re Even Chapter 257: Were Even Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu arrogantly raised her chin, as though she was waiting for him to admit defeat and apologize. That arrogant look on her face made it seem as if she would not reconcile with him if he did not apologize. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up slightly into a devilish smile as he slowly said, Alright.. Qiao Mu was stunned, and then she heard the man continue, Ill apologize with my actions. Before she could react, she saw the mans tall body pressing against her. She hurriedly pushed him away. How is this an apology? You took advantage of mest night and now you want to take advantage of me! Little thing, you really dont want to admit your mistake. Last night, you clearly said that you wanted it! Qiao Mu blushed. I I dont want it! I want to hear you say Im sorry, I was wrong! Say what? Im sorry, I was wrong! Be good, admit your mistake. I forgive you. Admit your sisters mistake! Qiao Mu went back to sleep after exercising the entire morning. When she woke up, it was already noon. When she went downstairs, Li Yan was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he saw her, he waved at her. Come here, lets talk about the design proposal. Qiao Mu walked over, her attitude very improper. Still talking? Didnt they say that the past was in the past? You still want to settle scores with me? Li Yan pulled Qiao Mu to sit down beside him and questioned her seriously, Yu Tingyun asked you to do something. Why did you hide it from me? At the mention of this matter, the resentment in Qiao Mus heart began to bubble again. I didnt n to help her do anything shameful. She wanted to help the Qiao Corporation, so I made a design proposal and gave it to her in my own name. Whats wrong with that? But youre so good. Youre using me without distinguishing right from wrong! Li Yan red at her. Youve been hiding it from me from the beginning. How am I supposed to believe you? Are you still being reasonable? Its not like I wanted to hide it from you forever. I was nning to tell you the truth after this matter was over, but you didnt give me a chance to confess. Youre simply too unreasonable! Li Yans face darkened when he heard her words. He thought about the whole story and admitted defeat helplessly. I wont hold this against you. If you hide anything from me in the future, Ill punish you double! Qiao Mu snorted indignantly and muttered softly, You clearly didnt believe me first! If I didnt believe you, do you think I would tolerate you being so arrogant in front of me? Little thing, you still dare to be cold and violent to me. You ignored me the whole day! Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Although his actions made her feel wronged, she was also wrong in some ways. After some thought, Qiao Mu generously said, Forget it. Were even now. I forgive you. Li Yan was speechless. This little thing really knew how to take advantage of others! After lunch, Qiao Mu had her fill and asked, Uncle, when do I go back to work? Li Yan put down his chopsticks and said calmly, You dont have to go. Ill give you a design certificate and let you report to school. Why? I clearly didnt do it. Why do you want me to be suspended? Li Yan leaned back in his seat with azy expression. Dont you want the person who framed you to pay the price? They deliberately pushed the me on you. Ill let them think that theyve seeded! Qiao Mu was stunned, but she instantly understood. Although the matter had been investigated and her innocence had been cleared, Li Yan was not someone who would let others scheme against him. Someone must have paid the price! At the thought of this, Qiao Mu broke into a grin and went over to Li Yans side.. Uncle, are you nning to deal with your cousin? If thats the case, then I love you to death! Chapter 258 - 258: You Know How to Save Money Before Getting Married Chapter 258: You Know How to Save Money Before Getting Married Trantor: 549690339 The little thing began to fawn over him again. After this incident, her enthusiasm was very useful to him. He had really had enough of being alienated by her. Even if she still did not improve, it was good to maintain this attitude. He raised his hand and pinched her fair and tender face. He curled his lips and asked, How can you love me to death? Love isnt something that you cant say, its something that you can do. I dont mind you using your actions. Love me to death! Qiao Mu was speechless. This pervert! He had just been serious for a while, and now he was being indecent again! Qiao Mu smiled and steered the topic back onto the right track. She blinked her big eyes and asked, Uncle, what do you n to do? This is not something you should care about. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. If she didnt care, then she didnt care. She was just waiting to watch a good show! Li Yan looked at the little thing and said leisurely, In order to make up for you being bored all day yesterday, Ill go shopping with you in the afternoon. Qiao Mus eyes instantly lit up, and she asked in disbelief, Youll apany Yes. Qiao Mu hugged Li Yans neck excitedly when she received the mans response. Uncle, youre the best! Qiao Mu hadnt gone shopping for a long time, so she was extremely excited, especially when there was such a shy man standing beside her. She really did not expect Li Yan to apany her to shop! Li Yan did not expect that the shopping mall that the little one had specifically asked to visit would be as messy as a shopping mall! Perhaps it was the weekend, but the mall was crowded with people. There were loudspeaker announcements everywhere. Looking around, one could see people haggling in every store. Li Yans face darkened. The little thing beside him was looking around for something she liked. It seemed like she often came to such ces. Although Li Yan knew that this little thing was not doing well, he did not expect her to live a civilian life in the Qiao family. She was worlds apart from Qiao Ya. She was living such a terrible life, but he had never heard a singleint from her. It seemed that this was her life. The stream of people squeezed over and separated the two of them. Li Yans brows furrowed slightly as he grabbed Qiao Mus hand and dragged her out. Uncle, thats the exit! Qiao Mu was stunned. Li Yan red at her. You brought me to a ce like this? We dont even have an air-conditioner. What can we buy? There are many good things here. You have to be patient. My clothes are very tasteful, right? They were all bought here! Qiao Mu proudly looked at her t-shirt and jeans as she praised herself without blushing or jumping. Li Yan shot a nce at her and hit her rudely.l dont think so. Its obvious that its from a street stall! Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, it was originally a street stall item. In the blink of an eye, Li Yan brought Qiao Mu to arge shopping mall. Qiao Mu nced at the man beside her and whispered, Uncle, the things here are too expensive. Actually, the cost is very low. Its not worth it at all. Looking at the little things useless appearance, Li Yan said helplessly,lll pay. Buy whatever you want. Qiao Mu was delighted, then she pouted and said, Even if youre paying, I dont want you to waste it. Upon hearing this, Li Yans lips curled up. His words were filled with mockery. What? You already know how to save money for me before we even get married? Crossing the door Could he not make it sound so ambiguous? Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and snorted. Then I wont save money for Little Uncle. Ill buy everything I want today! Be good! Chapter 259 - 259: I Don ‘t Like Being Called Nephew Chapter 259: I Don t Like Being Called Nephew Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu entered a shop and saw a dazzling array of clothes. They were alldylike outfits,pletely different from the T-shirt and jeans she usually wore. Li Yan took a few pieces of clothing and handed them to Qiao Mu. Go and try them on. Qiao Mu obediently entered the fitting room and changed into a new set of clothes before walking out. She walked around Li Yan and smiled sweetly. Uncle, do I look good? Li Yan looked at the little girl in a pink dress. She was as fair as a porcin doll. This was what a neen-year-old girl should look like. He nodded. Next. Qiao Mu went into the fitting room again and changed into another set for the man to look over before letting her change into the next set. She had to admit that Li Yans taste was indeed very good. The clothes did not look very beautiful when hung on the rack, but when worn, it felt different. After trying on three sets of clothes, Li Yan said to the salesperson, All wrapped up. The clothes of this young brand were considered mid-grade and above in this mall. The three sets added together would cost more than five figures, and it would be close to six figures. Li Yan bought it without even blinking, and the salesperson became enthusiastic. She immediately showed off the popr clothes. Sir, this is thetest summer style. It suits thisdys petite figure very well. Li Yan nced at the tank top and hip shorts in the salespersons hands. His thin lips moved. Too old-fashioned. The salesperson was speechless. This was clearly thetest model. How was it old-fashioned? Then, the salesperson took out another set. This dress is also a new style. Li Yan raised his eyelids and sized up the length of the dress. It was not even as long as his T-shirt. He said coldly, Too childish. The salesperson smiled and said, This dress doesnt look childish on your nephew. Your nephew is only a high school student, right? It will definitely fit you! Nephew . This word made Li Yans eyes darken. He was already used to Qiao Mu calling him uncle, but he really disliked hearing others call her his nephew! Damn it! As expected, he should have let the little thing change the way he addressed her! Qiao Mu came out of the fitting room and happened to hear the salespersons words. She smiled and held Li Yans arm. Uncle, this dress is pretty. Ill definitely look like a high school student in it. Why dont I try it on? Li Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard Qiao Mus words. He bent down and whispered into her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, I dont mind you wearing it at home as a nightgown. Its very convenient for you to do things! (Xiao Mus face instantly turned red. This pervert! The salesperson looked at the ambiguous expressions of the two of them and was a little confused. Werent these two people uncle and nephew? Why did they look like a couple? Li Yan coldly nced at the sales assistants probing gaze and wrapped his arm around Qiao Mus slender waist. That domineering action did not require any words to exin everything. How could an uncle be so intimate with his nephew? The sales assistant immediately understood and apologized with a smile, Sir, Im sorry. I said something wrong. So thisdy is not your nephew. Only then did Li Yans expression soften a little. He suddenly regretted bringing Qiao Mu to try on the clothes here. The little thing looked like a child to begin with.. If he put on some clothes that made her look younger, wouldnt the difference between her and him be even greater? Chapter 260 - 260: As Long as She Likes It Chapter 260: As Long as She Likes It Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the little thing. She seemed to be very satisfied with the clothes. Li Yan felt helpless. If the difference was big, then so be it! As long as she liked it! Li Yan swiped his card at the counter, and Qiao Mu watched as he took out a ck gold card and swiped it elegantly. Every action was extremely cool! Li Yan turned around and saw the little one staring at the card in his hand with bright eyes. She looked like a money-grubber. This little thing was quite knowledgeable! Qiao Mus small head leaned over, wanting to carefully examine that expensive ck gold card. Li Yan waved it in his hand. You want it? Qiao Mu really wanted to nod, but she still shook her head and said in all seriousness, No merit, no reward! However, I quite like this card. Uncle, if you make me angry next time and you cant coax me, its okay. As long as you give me this card, I wont be angry with you anymore! Li Yan was speechless. This little thing was still negotiating with him! Li Yan took the bag of clothes from the salesperson and nced at the scheming little thing. He said without giving her any face, Dont even think about it. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Even if he didnt agree, there was no need to reject him so straightforwardly, alright? Qiao Mu reaped a bountiful harvest in the afternoon. She had bought almost a years worth of clothes. After leaving the mall, the sky had already darkened. Li Yan drove Qiao Mu to the restaurant for dinner. The car stopped. As Li Yan walked toward the dining room with Qiao Mu, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him. Qiao Mu? Qiao Mus body froze. This voice She turned around and saw Zhou Jieru! Qiao Mus first reaction was to shake off Li Yans hand. However, just as she shook off his hand, she felt a chill from beside her. Li Yans eyes darkened as he looked coldly at the middle-aged woman opposite him. A cold glint shed across his eyes as he stood at the side without batting an eyelid. Zhou Jierus gaze sized up Qiao Mu and Li Yan before she smiled. Mu Mu, I saw you from afar and thought I had mistaken you for someone else. Who is this person beside you? Zhou Jieru only saw Qiao Mu getting out of the luxury car with a man, and she could not hide the surprise in her heart. No wonder this girl would give her five million yuan in one go. So she was a tycoon on the list! It has nothing to do with you, Qiao Mu said coldly. How can it have nothing to do with me Zhou Jierus tone suddenly became sharp. This wretched girl, shes already a tycoon on the list, yet she had no conscience and forgot about her own mother! Zhou Jieru took a step forward and was about to say something when she saw Li Yans face. Wasnt this the man she met outside the mallst time? Qiao Mu said that he was her uncle, Yu Tingyuns younger brother! But these two people were clearly holding hands just now! Zhou Jieru widened her eyes in surprise. She soon realized that this girl was really scheming. She had actually managed to seduce Yu Tingyuns brother! Zhou Jieru smiled sensibly. Its okay, Mu Mu. Well contact each other another day. Ill leave first. After Zhou Jieru left, Qiao Mus mood suddenly dropped. She nced at the man beside her, and she could clearly feel that the mans expression had be very bad. She carefully held his hand again, but he red at her coldly. Qiao Mu, you can shake me off if you want to, and you can hold my hand if you want to. Who gave you such a great privilege? Qiao Mus voice was extremely low as she defended herself without much confidence, Uncle, I didnt do it on purpose. I identally shook him off.. Chapter 261 - 261: Who Is That Woman? Chapter 261: Who Is That Woman? Trantor: 549690339 identally? Li Yans lips curled up coldly. Qiao Mu, who is that woman? An unfamiliar person. Qiao Mu had just finished speaking when she felt the mans expression darken. His stern face emitted a chill. Someone unfamiliar? This woman was still nning to hide it from him! Li Yans voice sank a little. Qiao Mu, dont test my memory. I remember you saying that she was a passerby thest time. Is she someone youre not familiar with this time? Qiao Mu thought that Li Yan would not remember Zhou Jieru, whom she had met once. She did not expect that he would remember Zhou Jieru even though she was just a passerby! Just as Qiao Mu was at a loss for words, Li Yan suddenly let go of her hand and strode into the dining room alone. Qiao Mu stared nkly at her hand that was raised in midair. She had let go of his hand just now, and now he was letting go of hers? Wasnt this man too vengeful? She quickly followed behind the man and sat down in the dining room. Back then, Qiao Mu was worried that Li Yan would find out about Zhou Jierus identity because she was afraid that he would stand on Yu Tingyuns side and harm her. Now that she had ruled out this possibility, she was not afraid that he would find out, but she felt that there was no need to mention her private matters to him. The man opposite her seemed to want to have a cold war. If she didnt speak, he wouldnt say a word. Ordering, serving, and eating, the atmosphere was very depressing. Qiao Mu felt extremely depressed after eating the delicious meal. After the meal, the two of them walked back without eating anything. They were speechless along the way. After returning home, Li Yan went straight to the study and left Qiao Mu alone in the living room. Qiao Mu felt that the tables had turned. She had just ended her cold violence towards him, and in the blink of an eye, it had be her being neglected. She finally tasted the feeling of being neglected, and it was truly ufortable. Qiao Mu stared at the big and small bags of todays shopping results at the door and did not feel happy at all. She remembered that time when she borrowed five million from him. She begged him not to interrogate her, not to investigate her, and to give her time to confess to him. From then on, she had no intention of confessing. She had never nned to be honest with him. She had always thought that with their rtionship, they were just taking what they needed. There was no need for them to be honest about their private matters. Actually, if Li Yan wanted to know about her, he could have done a little investigation and found out everything. However, he had been waiting for her to confess to him! Qiao Mu bit her lip and seemed to have made a decision. She immediately ran into the kitchen, brewed a pot of tea, and went outside the study. In the study room, Li Yan was sitting in front of his desk. He leaned back in his chair with his eyes slightly closed. He could not hide the frustration in his heart when he thought about how much that little woman had not told him. He had always given her a chance, but she just didnt take it seriously! What should he do to make her open up to him? Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Li Yan opened his eyes and saw the little thing that had angered him enter carefully. Uncle, have some tea and calm down. Qiao Mu obediently carried the cup of tea to Li Yans side. She put down the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to him. Her every move was like a virtuous wife. Li Yan was angry and helpless when he saw it. If she didnt want to be honest with him, what was the use of doing so many things to please him? Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu coldly and said indifferently, Put it down. You can leave now. What kind of attitude was this? She came in to admit her mistake! Chapter 262 - 262: From Now On, You Have Me (1) Chapter 262: From Now On, You Have Me (1) Trantor: 549690339 Uncle! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and stood at the side with her head lowered. After a while, she finally spoke in an extremely low voice. The woman I met outside the restaurant is my mother. Qiao Mus sudden and straightforward exnation of the other partys identity made Li Yan narrow his eyes. Seeing Li Yans calm reaction, Qiao Mu continued, Actually, theres no need to confess anything. I originally nned to stop contacting her in the future. Why? Li Yan asked calmly. My mother is a gambler and has always treated me as a money tree. The five million I borrowed from you was for her. When I saw her just now, I shook off your hand because I didnt want her to think that I was with a rich man and ask me for money again. As she spoke, Qiao Mu raised her head and nced at Li Yan. She raised her small hand and gently tugged at the corner of the mans shirt. She said in a soft, fawning voice, Uncle, dont ignore me. Hearing her exnation, the anger in Li Yans heart dissipated bit by bit. This little thing had finally confessed to him! Come here. Li Yan waved at Qiao Mu, and Qiao Mu obediently went forward. She wrapped herrge hands around her waist and ced her on hisp. Li Yan looked down at her. Do you know what it feels like to be left out? Qiao Mu nodded. This man was indeed vengeful. However, what made her feel strange was why he wasnt surprised at all when she mentioned her mother. Just as she was thinking about it, her big hand gently rubbed against the top of her head. A domineering voice sounded from above her head. Dont hide anything from me in the future. Qiao Mu paused for a moment before nodding in the end. Li Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the little thing. His tone softened and he asked in a low voice, Has your mother always treated you like this? Qiao Mu was startled by his words, but she smiled nonchntly. Mm, Im used to it. Even though she tried her best to hide it, Li Yan could still see the sadness in her eyes. It was something he had never seen before. This little girl had longed to live with her mother since she was young, but reality was so cruel to her! All this while, this little thing was either arrogant or ackey in front of her. Even when she was bullied and unhappy, she had never been as upset as she was now. She thought about how she had been bullied by her stepmother and used by her biological mother as a tool to earn money all these years. But where was he every time she was sad? Back then, he had mistakenly thought that she was using him to get close to her. That was why, over the years, whenever he thought of her, he would treat it as a punishment for her despite knowing that she was not doing well. He righteously punished her for getting close to him back then! Li Yans heart twitched violently, and he tightened his grip on the little womans arm. His low and hoarse voice sounded slowly, as if he was making a promise. Qiao Mu, from now on, you have me. From now on, you have me This sentence was as heavy as an oath, causing Qiao Mu to bepletely stunned. Stunned, she met his gaze, and her heart started beating faster. Even ten years ago, when he was so good to her, he had never made a promise. Later on, she thought that his purpose was to use her, so why would he make those unrealistic promises to her? However, this was the first time he had spoken to her so formally. From now on, she had him! Even if Qiao Mu wanted to treat his words as a joke, her heart still sank uncontrobly.. Chapter 263 - 263: From Now On, You Have Me (2) Chapter 263: From Now On, You Have Me (2) Trantor: 549690339 She lowered her head and leaned against his chest. Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. Uncle, dont be so good to me. I She was afraid that she would not be able to leave him in the future! She could not bear to be abandoned by him again. Ten years ago, she was only eight years old and was so childish that she did not know what love was. But now, if she was moved again and was betrayed again, it would be like taking her life! Li Yan sighed. Silly girl, youre my woman. If I dont treat you well, who else would I treat well? His words sounded so serious that it was impossible to tell that he was fooling her. Her heart slowly calmed down, and she cast aside all her uncertainty. She looked up at him and grinned. Just like he said, the past was in the past. No matter what happened in the past, it did not matter. No matter how things changed in the future, at this moment, he was really good to her! Even if it was just a spur of the moment! On Monday, Qiao Mu went to thepany to pack her things. Although she was suspended willingly, in the eyes of the people in thepany, she had done something shameful and was being investigated. After packing up, Tang Jiajia walked over and said reluctantly, Mu Mu, this matter hasnt been investigated clearly. Its too unjust for you to leave like this. Qiao Mu smiled. Its alright. Im just here for an internship. Its over anyway. Just as Tang Jiajia was about to say something, she was interrupted by a sneer. Qiao Mu, the higher-ups have already suspended you from your position, yet youre still spouting nonsense. If this matter had nothing to do with you, why would they suspend you? Qiao Mu saw Ye Lin walking over arrogantly and smiled back. Manager Ye, Ive finally resigned. You finally dont have to treat me like a thorn in your side anymore. Ye Lins expression changed. This Qiao Mu had already been chased out of thepany, yet she was still so arrogant! Initially, Ye Lin thought that nothing would happen to Qiao Mu with Li Yan protecting her. However, she did not expect Qiao Mu to be suspended before her internship even ended! This meant that Li Yan did not take Qiao Mu seriously at all. When she thought of this, Ye Lin felt much more carefree and finally vented her anger! Qiao Mu hugged the storage box and was about to leave when Ye Lin stopped her. Wait a minute, I want to check your things. After all, youre guilty of stealingpany documents. If you take something you shouldnt and leave, Ill have to take the me for you! Qiao Mu frowned. She had been here for less than a month, so the things she could take away were pitifully few. They were nothing more than the ns she had designed herself. Ye Lin wanted to make things difficult for her on purpose, so she generously put down the storage box and allowed Ye Lin to inspect it. Ye Lin simply flipped through it and smiled. I didnt find anything. You can take it away. Qiao Mu curled her lips coldly and left with her things. After taking two steps, she turned around and nced at Ye Lin. Manager Ye, I have to correct you. Its not that thepany suspended me, but that Im willing to leave when my internship period is over. Anyway, Ive already gotten my internship certificate. Also, the matter of stealing thepanys secrets has not been investigated yet. I think that after the investigation is done, Manager Ye will not be so free. No matter who did this, as the person in charge, Manager Ye has to bear a certain degree of responsibility. If Manager Ye has the time to care about someone like me who is about to leave, he might as well spend some time thinking about how to deal with thepanys punishment. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, Ye Lins expression instantly turned extremely grim. Watching Qiao Mu leave without even turning back, Ye Lin felt the artery on her neck throb, and the wound on it started to hurt again.. Chapter 264 - 264: Your Uncle Is Pretty Good To You Chapter 264: Your Uncle Is Pretty Good To You Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus life suddenly became like a fish in water. After her internship, Chi Xia returned from her hometown. After Qiao Mu asked for Li Yans permission, Li Yan sent a chauffeur to send her to the station to pick Chi Xia up. Chi Xia walked out of the train station in high spirits. She waspletely different from when she left. Qiao Mu realized that her worries were unnecessary. Chi Xia was such a rational person, and one month was enough for her to get over the breakup. On the way back, Chi Xia satzily in the car. Mu Mu, it seems like your uncle treats you quite well. Ive been enjoying such good treatment. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at Chi Xia disapprovingly. They only sent a car to pick you up. Arent you making a big fuss out of nothing? Yo, your tone is different now. Qiao Mu helplessly changed the topic. Oh right, why did youe back early? Thepany is having a school anniversary in two days. Our schools 120th anniversary is held during this holiday. Dont tell me you forgot? Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, she had indeed forgotten. Chi Xia suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Qiao Mu. Whats the result of the exchange student you applied for before the holidays? Qiao Mu was stunned. She had not been in the mood to care about this recently. Ever since Han Su sent her a message saying that she had a higher chance of passing, she had not asked about this matter. If she had been so enthusiastic about this matter back then, she would have called Han Su every day to ask about the results, but she hadpletely forgotten about it! Seeing Qiao Mus expression, Chi Xia asked in confusion, Are you disappointed because you didnt apply, or are you hesitating because you applied? You dont seem very interested in this matter! Qiao Mu sighed. Its said that Im very likely to get a spot, but Xiaxia, I dont know why Im not happy at all. This was clearly the opportunity she had been looking forward to to to leave the Qiao family, but now she was hesitating. Qiao Mu raised her head and saw Chi Xia staring at her with bright eyes. Her gaze seemed to want to poke a hole in her body as she sized her up. What are you looking at? Qiao Mu was baffled by the stare. Mu Mu, you are hesitating. Chi Xia ced her hand on her chin and pretended to be deep in thought as she analyzed seriously, Youre not leaving because you cant bear to leave the Qiao familys mother and daughter, nor can you bear to leave me. I dont have that much influence yet. The change in the past month must be because of your uncle, right? Chi Xias half-joking words stunned Qiao Mu. Although he had vaguely sensed something in his heart, he still felt unprepared when someone poked him. Seeing that Qiao Mu was stunned and did not refute, Chi Xia suddenly felt that the situation was more serious than she had imagined. If it was anything else, regardless of whether it was true or not, Qiao Mu would definitely deny it first. However, she did not have any intention of refuting! Chi Xia patted Qiao Mus shoulder helplessly. Alright, lets not dwell on it. We have to wait until the application results are out first. Who knows, we might not be able to pass? Qiao Mu was speechless. Why do I feel like youre gloating? Chi Xiaughed. Im happy! From my standpoint, of course, I dont want you to stay. If you leave, Ill be all alone. How pitiful would that be? Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at Chi Xia, but she hoped that Chi Xias words would be verified. If she really couldnt pass, she would give uppletely! Forget it, let nature take its course! Chapter 265 - 265: Do Well Chapter 265: Do Well Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu had dinner with Chi Xia before sending Chi Xia back to the dormitory. She only returned to the Li family homete at night. She sat down on the sofa and saw the coffee tableProof of internship! Footsteps sounded from upstairs, followed by a mans voice. The internship certificate you wanted has been prepared for you. You can go to school to report your work. Li Yan had always thought that this was a holiday assignment arranged by her school. This internship certificate was clearly the most important preparation she had made for her departure! While Qiao Mu was in a daze, Li Yan had already walked over and satzily beside her. He spread his arms and hugged her. What are you thinking about? Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest and said softly, Uncle, our school is holding an anniversary celebration in two days. Chi Xia ising back from her hometown, and Im worried about her staying alone in the dormitory. I want to go back and stay for a few days. No! Almost as soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, the mans words of rejection rang out. Uncle! Qiao Mu pouted and arched her body against Li Yans body, acting coquettishly to please him. Li Yan nced at the little thing who was leaning against his chest like a soft little rabbit. His heart softened. He wrapped his arms around her and supported her body so that she could sit on hisp. This posturelt was simply too embarrassing! Coupled with the mans ambiguous gaze, the atmosphere changed all of a sudden. Then, a mans voice sounded in her ear. lts not that I cant promise you. Its just that well be separated for so long. It depends on your performance. It has only been a few days Just a few days? The man raised his eyebrows. Are you too confident in your mans self-control, or do you think that your mans needs are very low? A few days is nothing to me? Qiao Mu was speechless. Wasnt it just a few days off? Why did the problem escte to such a high level? Fortunately, Qiao Mus skin was already slightly thick after being edified by a certain pervert all day long. She rubbed her head against his chest and said, Uncle, Ill definitely make it up to you when I get back. Just let me settle the school matters first. What if you go back on your word after the deed? I wont. I always keep my word. Since youre so sincere, then theres no need to wait untilter to make up for it. Just perform well now. After he finished speaking, the man spread his arms andzily leaned back on the sofa, as if he was waiting for Qiao Mu to perform well! His attitude was like an emperor waiting to be served by his beloved concubine, causing Qiao Mus face to instantly turn red. He was simply too shameless. He actually wanted herTaking the initiative? Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and kissed the man on the lips. Her voice was sweet and sweet.ls this okay, Uncle? Li Yan raised his eyelids. Do you think Im a three-year-old child thats easy to fool? . How could a three-year-old kid be as lecherous as him! Although they had done intimate things before, Li Yan had always taken the initiative, and Qiao Mu was always half-hearted and half-eaten clean. Even though Li Yan forced her to do all kinds of embarrassing poses every time, she was just a little girl who had never seen the world when it came to such things! It was really difficult for her to take the initiative to perform! Qiao Mu had a feeling that it would be very difficult to escape once she entered a wolfs den. He had to make things difficult for her over such a small matter. He was really too much! Qiao Mus dawdling made Li Yan a little impatient. The little thing sat on hisp and bit her lip awkvvardly. Her little face was scrunched up and her calves would rub against him from time to time, making his body tense up. [Ill start updating today. Ill update five chapters before midnight..] Chapter 266 - 266: Forced to Teach a Class Chapter 266: Forced to Teach a ss Trantor: 549690339 Every action of this little thing was consuming the water in his body, making his body extremely tormented. Did she really not know how to please him, or was she deliberately torturing him in this way? Li Yan suppressed the raging fire in his body and stared at the innocent face in front of him without batting an eyelid. Qiao Mu hesitated for a moment before she steeled her heart and raised her hand to tug at Li Yans tie. Anyway, whether she took the initiative or not, she would not be able to escape his demonic ws tonight. She tugged at his tie in a flurry, but she could not untie it. Then, he used too much force and got stuck! Li Yan felt his neck tighten and he frowned. Little thing, are you trying to strangle me to death? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes pitifully. Uncle, I didnt do it on purpose. About that, I really wouldnt Wont what? Do you not know how to untie a tie or pick beans? Qiao Mu was speechless. Dont say it so tantly! With Li Yans help, the tie was finally pulled off. Qiao Mu continued with the next step. Her hands trembled as she unbuttoned her clothes, one button after another Usually, this man would take off her clothes skillfully and quickly, but why wasnt she that domineering when it was her turn? It wasnt easy for her to take the initiative. Wasnt her performance a little too clumsy? Her fingers identally touched the mans skin, and the scorching heat instantly passed through her fingers to her. Staring at the firm and tight abdominal muscles in front of her, she instantly felt her mouth go dry. Qiao Mu bit her lip and nced at the man who remained calm and collected. Compared to his calmness, her actions were like a pervert, hesitating on how to make a move while facing the delicacies! He was simply too useless! Looking at his figure every day was still not enough! Qiao Mu lowered her head with a flushed face when she suddenly saw a small tent erected somewhere She looked away stiffly and blinked her big eyes helplessly. Uncle, what happened next? Li Yan narrowed his eyes and tried his best to make his voice sound normal. However, he could not hide the hoarseness in his voice. Little thing, havent I taught you enough lessons? Do you still need me to teach you such a small thing on the spot? In an instant, Qiao Mus face flushed red. Could he be any more shameless? Could his words be any more explicit? Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and drew circles on her firm chest with her finger. Her voice was extremely low and sounded extremely innocent. Uncle, I really dont know how to do it. You should teach me. Almost at the instant Qiao Mu finished speaking, she felt her vision blur. Li Yan picked her up and strode upstairs. Qiao Mu was so dizzy that she had yet to react when she was already ced on therge bed. Immediately after, a tall figure pounced on him. Qiao Mu only felt her breathing be difficult. Then, she heard the mans low and husky maic voice, which carried a hint of temptation. Little thing, learn from me. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future for you to perform well! Qiao Mu was speechless. That night, Qiao Mu once again experienced how terrifying a man could be when he went crazy! It was as if he wanted to make up for the losses in the future. He did not give her any time to rest the entire night. After the incident, Qiao Mu almost fell asleep, but she heard a certain man warning her by her ear, You can go back to school, but you have to report your whereabouts at all times. Report your sister, shes not a criminal! Chapter 267 - 267: You Must Know Your Trace Like the Back of Your Hand Chapter 267: You Must Know Your Trace Like the Back of Your Hand Trantor: 549690339 One message per hour. What did you eat, what did you do, where did you go? I must know everything! ..No, no! If I cant contact you, Ill give you ten times the lesson I gave you tonight when Ie back! Ten times Qiao Mu was shocked by this number! Finally, she could no longer pretend that she did not hear him and continued to sleep. She forced herself to open her eyes and muttered, I understand, Uncle. Be good. Due to the severe depletion of her essence energy, Qiao Mu dragged her exhausted body back to school the next day, using the excuse that she had something to attend to. The campus was bustling with activity as if the school had just reopened. Everyone was busy preparing for the anniversary celebration. Qiao Mu spotted Han Su in the crowd at a nce. He was like a spring breeze, standing on the steps and instructing his ssmates to arrange the flowers. Han Su turned around and noticed Qiao Mu. Then, he walked up to Qiao Mu with a faint smile. Mu Mu, youre here too. Theres too much going on in school right now. If youre free, lend a hand. Dont just stand there and watch the show. Alright, senior. Yes. Qiao Mu nodded and asked, Senior, are you in charge of the student council? Didnt you graduate already? During the holidays, the new president of the student council hasnt been elected yet, so Ive been paying more attention. After all, its my alma mater. Not to mention that I just graduated, even the seniors from the previous years havee to help organize it. During the anniversary celebration, youll meet many outstanding seniors from previous years. As Han Su spoke, he suddenly thought of something important and said, Right, Ive been quite busy recently. I didnt ask you about your application for an exchange student. Ill let you know when the results are out. Qiao Mu was stunned. When she remembered that the internship certificate was still in her bag, she tightened her grip on her bag. In the end, she still took out the internship certificate. Senior, this is the internship certificate you wanted. Han Su took it and noticed that Qiao Mu did not look too good. He thought that she was worried that the application would not be approved, so heforted her with a smile, Dont worry. With me around, the results wont be bad. Before Qiao Mu could say anything, Chi Xias voice sounded from behind her. Senior Mu Mu isnt worried that the results wont be ideal. Hes just afraid that the results will be too ideal! Han Su was puzzled. What does that mean? Qiao Mu red at Chi Xia. Chi Xia shrugged. Im just joking! Qiao Mu and Chi Xia were arranged by Han Su to be part of the weing team to wee the graduates of the previous years on the anniversary celebration. Qiao Mu took selfies as she helped arrange the scene. She took pictures of the lively scene behind her and sent them to Li Yan. She remembered Li Yans words. She did not want to be punished by him when she went back! The photo was sent out, and very quickly, there was a one-word reply:Be good. Qiao Mu seemed to have received encouragement. She took a few pictures of herself and her surroundings before sending them over. Chi Xia rolled her eyes helplessly. Miss, are you here to work or to film? Ive never seen you like taking selfies so much in the past. Why did you suddenly be narcissistic? Qiao Mu didnt think much of it and continued filming. At this moment, in the top-floor conference room of LSAG Group. Li Yans phone vibrated from time to time as he was in the middle of a serious meeting. In the quiet conference room, the vibration was very abrupt. Li Yan casually picked up his phone to check the WeChat message sent by the little one. When he saw a series of photos, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. In the photo, the girl was wearing the new clothes he had bought. She was smiling so much that her eyes were narrowed into a line. Her hair was blown against her cheeks by the wind. Her smile was innocent, like a girl under the age of eighteen.. Chapter 268 - 268: You Have to Pay the Price for Provoking My Woman (1) Chapter 268: You Have to Pay the Price for Provoking My Woman (1) Trantor: 549690339 He moved his fingers and replied with one word:Be good. He put down his phone and it started vibrating again. Thepanys rules stated that cell phones in the meeting room must be muted and vibration mode was not allowed. If someone elses cell phone was detected, the consequences could be imagined. However, the other party was the CEO. Not only was the CEO allowed to make sounds on his phone, but he could also y with his phone as he pleased during the meeting. Not only was he ying with his phone, but the most shocking thing was that he was smiling as he looked at his phone! Thats right, he wasughing! Although the curve of the corner of his mouth was faintly discernible,pared to his usual expressionless face, the smile that could not be hidden in his eyes was simply too obvious! Everyone was extremely shocked. Usually, they wouldnt be able to see this scene. Ye Lin, who was standing at the side, silently watched this scene. A trace of coldness shed across her eyes! She had a feeling that the person who sent Li Yan the message was Qiao Mu! What kind of powerful means did that Qiao Mu have to make a man like Li Yan care so much about her?! When Ye Lin was investigating the theft of the design proposal, she was surprised to discover that Qiao Mu was actually an illegitimate daughter! With thisyer of rtionship, Qiao Mu was very suspicious! After the meeting ended, everyone left. Ye Lin stood up and went to Li Yan. President, I have something to report to you regarding the theft of the design proposal. Li Yan did not leave the meeting room immediately because Qiao Mu kept sending him messages. He was looking down at his phone when he heard Ye Lins words. His eyes didnt even look up. His thin lips moved and he spat out a word.Speak. Ye Lin bit her lip and reported respectfully, The suspects who leaked the design n are Sun Ning and Qiao Mu. Sun Ning is in contact with Qiao Ya, the manager of the Qiao Corporation, and Qiao Mu is the daughter of the Qiao Corporation. The n might have been leaked by these two people. After Ye Lin finished speaking, she observed Li Yans expression. Then, she saw the man, who had been lowering his head, raise his head. His eyes, which were initially filled with warmth, lost all warmth the moment he raised his head. His deep ck eyes emitted a cold light thatnded on Ye Lins body like ice. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. His smile was extremely cold. Manager Ye, even if you didnte to me, I would havee to talk to you about this. Ye Lin was so nervous that she could not breathe. This man was clearly smiling, but that smile was different from the smile when he was facing the phone just now. For some reason, he was clearly smiling at this moment, but it made her panic! Li Yan slowly stood up and his cold gazended on Ye Lin. He said indifferently, The results of my investigation arepletely opposite to yours! From what I know, the person who is in contact with Manager Qiao seems to be Manager Ye. In addition, Sun Ning reported you. In order to frame her and Qiao Mu, you nned such a thing. As expected, you killed two birds with one stone. Sun Ning and Qiao Mu, who were at odds with you, left one after another. Ye Lins face instantly turned pale. How was this possible? How could she do such a thing! However, Li Yan did not give Ye Lin a chance to retort. He said coldly, lve already investigated the matter. Leakingpany secrets is not a small matter. From today onwards, youre fired. Ye Lin shook her head in a panic. President, it really wasnt me.. I was framed! Everything was done by Sun Ning! Chapter 269 - 269: You Have to Pay the Price for Provoking My Woman (2) Chapter 269: You Have to Pay the Price for Provoking My Woman (2) Trantor: 549690339 Oh? Didnt you just say that it had something to do with Qiao Mu? Why are you only ming Sun Ning now? But dont worry, Sun Ning has also been fired. Li Yans voice was like a messenger from hell, causing Ye Lin to instantly despair! President, Im really innocent. I have evidence here As Ye Lin spoke, she looked at the mans unmoved expression and instantly understood something. She widened her eyes in disbelief. Youre deliberately making me take the me? This matter definitely has something to do with Qiao Mu, so you asked me to take the me for her! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Youre right to take the me, but its not for Qiao Mu. This lesson is to tell you that you must pay the price for provoking my woman! Ye Lin refused to ept the truth. Even if you want to deal with me, you can fire me with just one word. Why wait until now? Do you think firing you is your punishment? What I want is for your career to bepletely destroyed! Li Yan said coldly and turned to leave the meeting room. Ye Lins legs went weak and she fell onto the chair. Destroy her careerpletely? Suddenly, Ye Lins eyes widened. If she was fired for leakingpany secrets, nopany would dare to hire her in the future! She had only been targeting Qiao Mu in every way and had not caused Qiao Mu any harm, yet this man was treating her so cruelly! At this moment, Ye Lin finally understood that Li Yan was not someone she could afford to offend! Thest time this man stabbed her artery with a fountain pen, she remembered the horror. Why didnt she learn from her memory? If she had treated Qiao Mu better, perhaps she wouldnt have ended up like this! No! Perhaps, even without what happenedter, this man would still treat her like this sooner orter, because she had indeed gone overboard with Qiao Mu previously! However, she was unwilling! In the blink of an eye, it was the anniversary celebration. Qiao Mu and Li Yan hadnt seen each other for a few days. Qiao Mu called Li Yan early in the morning. The call went through, and the mans pleasant voice sounded. Little thing, you called me so early. Did you miss me? Narcissistic! Qiao Mu automatically ignored his words and said with a smile, Uncle, today is the first day of our schools anniversary celebration. Its very lively. Do you want toe and take a look? Are you going to perform something? . No, but Im in the weing team. If youe, youll see me when you enter! Li Yan listened to the little things energetic tone and thought about his schedule for the day. He said calmly, lf were done today and theres still time, well go over. Alright then. He was so busy, so he probably wouldnt be free. Qiao Mu and Chi Xia arrived at the registration counter. Early in the morning, people were already arriving one after another. They stood at the front desk and registered the seniors who had graduated many years ago. On the information sheet, under the upation column, the lowest upation was a department manager, and some had already be the CEO of arge enterprise. A famous school was indeed extraordinary! Qiao Mu was arranging her documents with her head lowered when she felt a figure blocking her way. Before she could raise her head, she heard a female voice.Qiao Mu, what a coincidence. I thought we wouldnt meet again. The one who spoke was Ye Lin! Enemies really met on a narrow road! She didnt expect Yeh Lin to graduate from the same university as her. Qiao Mu revealed a professional smile and handed the information sheet to Ye Lin. Miss Ye, please fill in your information. You need to fill in your name, your grade, and your current upation.. Chapter 270 - 270: Insta-killing Qiao Ya Chapter 270: Insta-killing Qiao Ya Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu handed the documents to Ye Lin and went to receive the others. Ye Lin coldly looked at Qiao Mus back. When she saw the upation column on the information sheet, her hand that was holding the fountain pen paused for a moment before filling in the position of manager of the design department of LBA Group. While Qiao Mu was busy, Chi Xia nudged her and whispered, Mumu, look whos here. Qiao Mu raised her head and saw Qiao Ya walking in wearing a bright red strapless dress that reached her ankles. She was wearing a pair of 10-centimeter high heels, and she was holding a shiny diamond-studded clutch bag in her hand. She looked as if she was here to attend a dinner party. Chi Xia could not help but say, Is your sisters brain missing a string? Youre here to attend the school anniversary and youre dressed like a mistress. Qiao Mu was speechless. As she spoke, Qiao Ya walked over. The moment she saw Qiao Mu, she frowned. Qiao Mu, why are you working as a guard here? Thats enough. Please think about your identity before you do anything. Youre always doing things that embarrass the Qiao family! Qiao Mu shrugged nonchntly when she saw Qiao Yas haughty attitude. Is participating in the schools anniversary celebration an embarrassment to our family? Then why did Miss Qiaoe to attend the school anniversary? Youre dressed so formally. You must attach great importance to this event, right? Dont you have any manners? Im your sister, and you dont even call me sister! As soon as he said this, Ye Lin, who had not gone far, stopped in her tracks and watched the show. Qiao Mu handed the documents over. Senior Sister, fill in the information. Ever since the incident with Lin Xian, Qiao Mu had never called Qiao Ya Sis again, and she did not even bother with formalities! You Qiao Ya was about to say something when Chi Xia leaned over and said with a smile, Miss Qiao, calm down. Youre dressed like ady. Dont act like a shrew and affect your image. The people who were waiting to fill in the information behind them all sized up the situation here. Qiao Yas expression changed again and again, but in the end, she still managed to calm down. She was dressed up today to suppress the crowd! She hade with a mission. The students of T University were the target ofpetition from all the majorpanies. She wanted those juniors to be proud of her and treat the Qiao Corporation as their first choice after graduation! Qiao Ya nced at the information sheet and said coldly, Its not convenient for me to bend over with my clothes on. Qiao Mu, fill it in for me. You know my information better than anyone else. Chi Xia frowned. Did Qiao Ya really think of herself as the empress dowager? Qiao Mu took the fountain pen and filled in the information. Then, she heard Qiao Yas proud voice. Hes currently the general manager of the Qiao Corporation. Soon, hell be the chairman of the Qiao Corporation and the Yu Corporation. Qiao Mu was helpless. Qiao Ya was really childish to death, acting like a nouveau riche. She really did not know who was the one who was embarrassing the Qiao family! Chi Xiaughed. Miss Qiao, isnt it a little too early to fill in the position of future chairman? Early what? The Qiao Corporation will be mine sooner orter! Qiao Ya snorted coldly. As far as I know, Mumus father and stepmother are less than fifty years old. Youre so anxious to take the chairmans position. Are you trying to usurp the throne, or are you cursing your mother to die early and give up her position for you? Puff Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh out loud. Chi Xias eloquence could easily kill Qiao Ya when she got serious! As expected, Qiao Yas face had already turned red from anger after Chi Xia finished speaking. She red at Chi Xia and Qiao Mu, who was gloating at her misfortune, trying her best to suppress her anger. Damn it, if it werent for the fact that there were so many people present, she really wanted to pounce on the two faces in front of her and tear them apart! Chapter 271 - 271: What Exactly Is Qjao Mu and Su Chen ‘s Relationship? Chapter 271: What Exactly Is Qjao Mu and Su Chen s Rtionship? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Ya had been pampered since she was young. Whether it was in school or at work, she was surrounded by people. Because of her good family background, she was surrounded by people who spoke well of her. Since she was young, Qiao Ya had only ever been bullied by Qiao Mu. Her ability to retaliate was not worth mentioning at all, so she could only be angry when Chi Xia choked on her! Just as the situation was turning stiff, there was a suddenmotion. Everyone looked over and saw a man dressed in leather shoes standing in the crowd. When Qiao Ya saw who it was, her eyes lit up and her anger disappeared instantly. Brother Chen She had just opened her mouth when she was met with a cold gaze. Qiao Ya immediately changed her words.Mr. Su, I didnt expect you toe. However, what greeted Qiao Ya was only a breeze. In the blink of an eye, Su Chen had already walked past her,pletely ignoring her bright red figure. Qiao Yas consecutive bad experiences made Qiao Mu gloat over her misfortune. She turned to Su Chen and asked in surprise, Mr. Smith, are you also a graduate of our school? Su Chen stopped in his tracks and smiled faintly at Qiao Mu. I was invited to give a speech. This smile infuriated Qiao Ya. Su Chen actually smiled at Qiao Mu! What was the rtionship between these two people? Qiao Mu nodded. Then you can go in directly. Just as Su Chen was about to leave, his gaze suddenlynded on Chi Xia, who was beside Qiao Mu, and his eyes flickered slightly. Qiao Mu noticed this action. Thinking of the embarrassing incident between the two of them, Qiao Mu secretly poked Chi Xia with her elbow and reminded her softly, I This is Su Chen. Hes the one you vomited on when you were drunk that night! Chi Xia did not understand why he was staring at her. Could it be that such a handsome man had fallen in love with her at first sight? Out of politeness, she smiled politely at Su Chen. Then, she heard Qiao Mus words, and her smile froze. Only then did she realize that the other party was looking at her with an unfriendly gaze. He did not hide it at allDisgust! Chi Xia rubbed her head awkwardly and held Su Chens hand with both hands. Mr. Su, Im really sorry aboutst time. I didnt mean to drink too much. Please be magnanimous and dont take it to heart. Su Chens expression darkened. He lowered his gaze and looked at Chi Xias hands that were holding his. That gaze made Qiao Mu feel as if she had returned to that night when he looked at the vomit on his body. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. It looked like this incident had left a lingering shadow on this Eldest Young Master! Let go! As Su Chen spoke, he flung Chi Xias hand away, his tone filled with undisguised disgust. Chi Xia was speechless. Alright, she was indeed in the wrong. If someone had vomited on her, she might have shown even more dislike for the other party. Qiao Mu stepped forward to help him. Mr. Su, this matter is already in the past. Xiaxia has apologized. Can we just let it go? Qiao Mu had known Su Chen since she was young. Su Cen was much more polite to her than Lu Jingzhi, but that was for Li Yans sake. This was indeed Xiaxias fault, so she needed to make up for it. Su Chen snorted coldly. Forget it, Qiao Mu. Dont let her appear in front of me in the future. Just watch Disgusting! Qiao Mu was speechless. Chi Xia was speechless. The man left after saying that. Chi Xia grumbled unhappily, Even if I feel nauseous, can you hold it in and not say it? If you say it out loud, itll make me feel nauseous too! Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at her. Come on, puking all over me, and youre still being reasonable? Qiao Mu had just finished speaking when she saw Qiao Ya ring at her with fire in her eyes.. Qiao Mu, what exactly is your rtionship with Brother Chen?! Chapter 272 - 272: Qjao Ya Was mocked in Public (1) Chapter 272: Qjao Ya Was mocked in Public (1) Trantor: 549690339 Brother Chen? Didnt he ask you to call him Mr. Su? Miss Qiao, can we be more reserved? Why dont you feel embarrassed when youre throwing yourself at others? Qiao Mu! You Just you wait, Ill settle the score with youter! Qiao Ya gritted her teeth in anger. She stomped her foot and chased after Su Chen. Ye Lin, who was watching the show, watched Qiao Ya leave. This woman was really brainless. She had lost her career because of this woman. It was really not worth it! Ye Lin curled her lips coldly, and a trace of scheming shed across her eyes! The registration area was finally quiet. Chi Xia asked, Qiao Ya likes Su Chen? Yeah, shes very loyal. Ive liked her since I was young. Chi Xia thought about it and sighed. You already have your uncle. Otherwise, if you managed to snatch Su Chen away, it would be a fatal blow to Qiao Ya! Qiao Mu was helpless. She jokingly said, Thats a good idea. Im out of luck. Why dont you help me snatch it? I have no chance! He wants to throw up just looking at me. Hes really a bad thing after drinking. He ruined my beautiful image! From your tone, you sound quite regretful! Chi Xia rolled her eyes. Regret your sister! Qiao Mu continued to tease him. My sister is you, so youre the regret. Chi Xia was speechless. She was just regretting that her image was ruined, alright? Su Chen came to the principals office, and the principal served him tea and water enthusiastically. President Su, its our honor that you epted the invitation. Su Chen smiled faintly. The principal and my second uncle are old friends. This favor is nothing to me. After Su Chen finished speaking, his gaze fell on the pile of documents on the table. Exchange student application list? The only reason he noticed it was because Qiao Mus ID photo was attached to the document! Su Chen pointed at the document and looked at the principal. Principal Sun, is this the name list of our schools exchange students this year? Yeah, Ive been too busy with the anniversary celebration recently, so I didnt manage to deal with the schools matters. Its all piled up there. Why is President Su interested in this? The principal asked. Su Chens lips curled up as if nothing had happened. Qiao Mu had applied to be an exchange student, and Big Brother definitely didnt know about this. It seemed like Big Brother would be in danger again soon! After Qiao Mu finished her work, she could finally walk around the campus with Chi Xia. The campus was very lively. Every club had prepared a performance. As soon as they entered the building, they saw Su Chen standing on the stage and giving a speech on the huge disy screen. A group of people sat around the stage. Eighty percent of them were girls, and all of them were listening attentively to the business speech that they could not understand. As expected, they were all looking at handsome men. Soon, Su Chens speech came to an end. He didnt stop and came down from the stage. Then, a red figure appeared in front of him on the screen. Qiao Ya was dressed in bright red, which caught the attention of everyone. No one who came to attend the schools anniversary celebration was more mboyant than her. The huge screen was fixed on Su Chen and Qiao Ya. Qiao Ya stood in front of Su Chen shyly and asked gently, Mr. Su, theres something I dont understand about what you said on stage just now. Can you exin it to me? After all, they were in front of the camera, so Su Chens attitude was slightly restrained. He didnt ignore Qiao Ya and nodded coldly, indicating that Qiao Ya could continue. Chapter 273 - 273: Ya Was mocked in Public (2) Chapter 273: Ya Was mocked in Public (2) Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia looked at the screen and sighed, This woman is really thick-skinned. When she ignored her, she ran to the camera and pestered her. Qiao Mu smiled. She also felt puzzled. Qiao Ya was such a prideful person, so why was she so unwilling to turn back in front of Su Chen? Was this true love? On the screen, Qiao Yas face was filled with joy. She clenched her fists excitedly and said gently, Mr. Su said that when you encounter apetitor, you should retreat in order to advance. You should first grasp the opponents shorings and then make a move. May I ask how you should grasp the opponents shorings? Su Chens lips curled up slightly. He turned his head and looked at the camera. Please stop filming. What Im about to say is private. Everyone was stunned. What was he going to say next? Then, the screen changed to another program. The crowd started discussing. Im so envious. That woman is so lucky to have Su Chen whisper to her! Yeah, I want it too! If only we were there, we could hear their conversation! I dont know. If we rush over now, we might be able to make it. Lets go over! Chi Xia was also a little excited. I didnt see Qiao Ya get hurt. Its so unfair. Even though Qiao Mu did not understand Su Chens character, she thought that Su Chen and Li Yan were the same type of people. Based on their personalities, they would definitely say something extremely cruel next. At the interview venue, Qiao Ya was so nervous that her face turned red. Just as she was looking forward to Su Chens reply, she heard Su Chens cold and distant voice. Qiao Ya, I cant teach you anything about work experience. With your past work experience, if you want to grasp the opponents weakness, isnt it just using your beauty to get close to the opponent? Youre very experienced, so why are you asking me for advice? Su Chen had just finished speaking when there was a moment of silence around him. The next second, everyone started to mor. Everyone looked at Qiao Ya. There was mockery and mockery, causing Qiao Yas face to turn from red to purple, then from purple to white! Su Chens words were ruthless and urate. Faced with Qiao Yas repeated attempts to get close to him, he did not have the good temper to y around with her! Qiao Ya stood still for a long time after Su Chen left. Being ridiculed by the man she liked in front of so many people Ye Lin, who had been hiding behind a pir, walked up to Qiao Ya with a smile. Miss Qiao, I feel sorry for you. Su Chen has gone too far. He made you suffer such humiliation! Qiao Ya was in a fit of anger when someone suddenly came knocking on her door. She said impatiently, Who are you? Its fine if youre here to tter me, but hurry up and disappear from my sight! Ye Lin smiled sarcastically. Miss Qiao, after hearing what Su Chen said just now, who else woulde and suck up to you? You Miss Qiao, if you want to get angry, you have to wait until I finish speaking, right? Im Ye Lin, the manager of the Li Corporations design department. When Qiao Ya heard that, she looked at him with disdain. So its you, the design manager? It should be an ex, right? I heard that you were just fired! Ye Lins expression did not change. Indeed, its all because of you and Sun Ning! Miss Qiao, now is not the time for you to gloat. Li Yan has already found out who did this. He has already fired me. It is only a matter of time before he finds you. Dont you think about how to respond? Qiao Ya did not think much of it. Who are you trying to scare? Qiao Mus suspension exins everything.. What does it have to do with me?! Chapter 274 - 274: Giving Miss Qjao a Meeting Gift Chapter 274: Giving Miss Qjao a Meeting Gift Trantor: 549690339 Looks like Miss Qiao is really innocent. Do you think Qiao Mu was fired because she took the me? Even so, its still because Mrs. Qiao asked her to do it. In the end, Li Yan still has to deal with Mrs. Qiao! What exactly do you want? Qiao Ya frowned. Li Yan was her uncle, and they were rtives. Even if Mrs. Qiao was in the wrong, he would not do anything to his rtives! Ye Lin smiled and deliberately provoked Qiao Ya. I saw Su Chen getting especially close to Qiao Mu after he left. You two are sisters, so why is Su Chens attitude towards youpletely different from hers? Seeing Qiao Yas expression change, Ye Lin continued, When Qiao Mu was still in thepany, she had been trying to get on our presidents good side. She wouldnt let go of anyone she could use. I dont like her at all. Actually, Im on your side, and I dont like Qiao Mu either. So? Qiao Ya remained calm, but her heart was already burning with mes. Qiao Mu still dared to seduce youngest uncle! It was fine if she seduced her uncle, but she was still not satisfied. She wanted to seduce the man she liked! Seeing that Qiao Ya had taken the bait, Ye Lin smiled and said, Miss Qiao, I can help you teach Qiao Mu a lesson so that shell learn her lesson. I can also help you deal with the Li Corporation. After all, Ive been working at the Li Corporation for so many years, and I know all the internal information inside the Li Corporation like the back of my hand. If you let me work at the Qiao Corporation, I can use everything I know to develop the Qiao Corporation! Qiao Yas lips curled up. She was very interested in this suggestion. She nodded happily. No problem! Then its settled. Today, Ill give Miss Qiao a wee gift. Qiao Mu! Qiao Mu and Chi Xia were strolling around the campus when someone suddenly called her name from behind. She turned around and saw a slender figure waving at her. Oiao Mus eves lit un. Baby Guan?! Baby Guan nodded. I didnt expect to meet an acquaintance here. I heard that today is the anniversary celebration, so I came to understand the environment. I was about to leave when I saw you! Mu Mu, who is this beauty? Chi Xia asked as she looked at Baby Guan. This is the heroine I told you about before. She saved me on the street. Baby Guan, well be ssmates next semester. Qiao Mu then pointed at Chi Xia and said to Baby Guan, This is my best friend and ssmate, Chi Xia. Chi Xia pped her hands and looked at Baby Guan with sparkling eyes. So youre that heroine. You dont look like one! Baby Guan raised her chin. Doesnt look like what? Is it because Im born beautiful and dont look like a tomboy? As she said that, Baby Guan patted Chi Xias shoulder. Dont worry, Im ady by nature. Ill only take action when I have to! Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh. She thought of something and asked, You said you have rtives in Beijingst time. Are you living in a stable ce now? At the mention of this, Baby Guans expression changed. Not yet. Im currently staying in a hotel. My heartless rtive doesnt care about me. At this moment, a car stopped opposite them. The car could drive directly into the backyard of the campus. Then, a man got out of the car with his back facing them. He said impatiently to the people who came out of the building, Second Brother, you came to attend a speech and didnt drive. You still had to ask me to pick you up. Youre really a big boss! The person who spoke was Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen, who had just finished his speech, was walking towards them. At this moment, Qiao Mu noticed that Baby Guans eyes were wide open. In the next second, she ran straight towards Lu Jingzhi.. Chapter 275 - 275: Lu Jingzhi’s Fiancée Chapter 275: Lu Jingzhis Fiance Trantor: 549690339 Lu Jingzhi, you heartless man. Ive finally caught you! Baby Guan rushed in front of Lu Jingzhi aggressively. Her steps were light as she quickly and urately pushed the man into the car. Then, she lifted her foot and stepped on the tires of the car. From afar, a petite figure blocked the tall mans path. The mans body was forced to lean against the car. No matter how one looked at it, this scene was extremely awkward. Qiao Mu and Chi Xia were dumbfounded. Wasnt this too domineering? She just said that she was ady, yet she attacked just like that! Lu Jingzhi did not react in time. He was stunned for a moment before he looked at the woman in front of him and frowned. Who are you? Youd better give me a satisfactory exnation, or else dont me me for kicking you away! Try kicking me! Baby Guans attitude was extremely arrogant. She suddenly realized what Lu Jingzhi had just said and her eyes widened. You said that you dont know who I am? Lu Jingzhi looked at Baby Guans face. Do I have to know? Good! Very good! Lu Jingzhi, you heartless man, you dont even remember your fiance! Baby Guan was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed her finger at Lu Jingzhi, looking as if she had been wronged by a heartless man. Fiance? Not only Lu Jingzhi, even Su Chen, who was walking over, was stunned. It seemed that Third Brothers trouble hade! Qiao Mu and Chi Xia walked over to watch the show. When they heard the word fiance, they were stunned. Baby Guan was Lu Jingzhis fiance? It turned out that the rtive that Baby Guan was talking about was Lu Jingzhi! Qiao Muughed gloatingly when she saw Lu Jingzhis pale face. Young Master Lu, Baby Guan has been in Beijing for a month and still has no ce to stay. Youre really ipetent as a fianc! Lu Jingzhis face darkened as he nced at Qiao Mu. How did these two people know each other? Also, was this woman in front of him really his fiance, Baby Guan? To Lu Jingzhi, Guan Baobei was indeed a stranger. She was the fiance that his parents had arranged for him to marry before he was born. When he went to Hong Kong for a business trip, his parents had asked him to visit the Lu familys old friends. They had met once at that time and it was also at that time that he found out about the marriage between the two families. He didnt even remember what that so-called fiance looked like. When he was having dinner with her parents, she had been by his side. She had her head lowered from the beginning to the end, and her voice was soft. She was so gentle anddylike that she was so weak that she even swayed when she walked as if she was about to fall at any time. How could she be this wild and arrogant woman in front of him? The words she spoke would make his eardrums tremble. A month ago, when he heard that his fiance hade from Hong Kong to study and wanted to stay at his house, he moved out of his house and into his own private apartment, not giving her a chance to have sex. There was no one at home. Where would she find him? However, this fiance suddenly appeared! Baby Guan turned to look at Qiao Mu. Mumu, so you two know each other? However, I have to reintroduce myself. This handsome man is my fianc! Lu Jingzhi was speechless. At this moment, he was still very suspicious of this womans identity. Lu Jingzhi pushed Baby Guan away and said coldly, Dont talk to yourself. Did I acknowledge your identity? Sigh, you really wont give up until you see the Yellow River Just as Qiao Mu was watching Baby Guan argue with Lu Jingzhi in exasperation, her phone rang. It was Li Yan. Qiao Mu immediately picked up the call and called out to her uncle. Then, she heard the mans voice..Where are you? Chapter 276 - 276: Making Justice for Sister-in-law Chapter 276: Making Justice for Sister-inw Trantor: 549690339 Ah? Qiao Mu was stunned, but she immediately reacted. Uncle, youre here? You didnt invite me? Why do you sound like you dont believe it? The man paused and continued, lve already entered the side door. Where are you? Im at the side door. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she immediately saw a ck Bentley Mulsanne slowly driving toward them. Li Yan had just entered the courtyard when he saw a few people standing not far away. His little one was among them. The car stopped. Li Yan got out of the car and nced at the few people present. It seems very lively nere. Lu Jingzhi was having a headache when he saw Li Yan and asked, Big brother, why are you here? After she finished speaking, Lu Jingzhi saw Qiao Mu run over to Li Yan. He must be here for his nephew! Uncle, are you done? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes at Li Yan. He said that he woulde over once he was done with his work, so she thought that he would note. Li Yan nodded and rubbed Qiao Mus forehead with hisrge hand. Arent you going to stand outside in the sun? Qiao Mu shook her head. Theres a good show to watch. I dont feel that its too hot! Li Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He saw that Lu Jingzhis expression was ugly and there was a girl standing beside him. At this moment, Baby Guan was not in the mood to pay attention to the handsome man beside Qiao Mu. Her big eyes never left Lu Jingzhi, as if she was afraid that he would run away if she was not paying attention. Baby Guan took a step forward and held Lu Jingzhis arm. Lets go. Take me home. Well go to the hotel to get my luggage first. Let go! As he spoke, Lu Jingzhi swung the switch baby, and Baby Guan immediately held onto him. He swung the switch again, and the two of themHe had made his move! Both of them had a foundation in kung fu. Baby Guan raised her long legs and kicked Lu Jingzhis upper body while shouting, 1 told you nicely, but you didnt take it seriously. Do you have to make me do it? Qiao Mu was speechless. Do you think its good to make a move? Unfortunately, before her foot could touch Lu Jingzhi, she was pushed away and kicked again. Qiao Mu blinked. Wasnt Baby Guan too handsome? Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the little thing with his eyes shining. He was excited and asked helplessly, Whats going on? Su Chen smiled and exined, Big brother, this is third brothers fiance. Lu Jingzhi red at Su Chen when he heard that it was none of his business. Yang, Liu, dont just stand there and watch. Can youe over and help me? This woman is too unreasonable! A grown man hitting a woman, and youre still in the right? Li Yan said coldly. Qiao Mu secretly pursed her lips. Little Uncle was really a man of few words, as if he didnt want to fight with her! Not only did he move his hands, but he also moved his legs. His entire body was moving! Lu Jingzhi was furious. Young Master Li, who had always treated men and women equally, was actually still pursuing him for hitting a woman! Why was he acting like a gentleman in front of his little nephew? However, this thin and small figure was quite energetic when he fought. If it wasnt for the fact that he didnt fight with women, did she think she could survive a move in front of him? Baby Guan wanted to use her actions to conquer Lu Jingzhi, but when she suddenly heard Lu Jingzhi call her brother, she stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at the two men behind her and immediately went forward to introduce herself. Hello, Big Brother, Second Brother. Im Baby Guan, Lu Jingzhis fiance. Shut up! Baby Guan immediately felt wronged. Eldest Brother, Second Brother, look at his attitude.. You have to stand up for Sister-inw! Chapter 277 - 277: As expected, he was on the same path as her Chapter 277: As expected, he was on the same path as her Trantor: 549690339 The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. She thought that her skin was already thick enough, but she never expected that there was someone even thicker than her! Guan Baobei did not care about Lu Jingzhis expression at all and continued to y the role of his fiance to the end! Not only was her kung fu good, but her acting skills were also on point. Qiao Mu liked it no matter how she looked at it. They were indeed the same type! Li Yan did not care about Lu Jingzhis private matters. He was about to go to her school with his little one when he suddenly felt a warmth on his hand. He looked down and saw the little one holding his hand. Then, she said in a low voice,Uncle, thest time I was robbed outside school, it was Baby Guan who helped me. The robber even had a knife. Fortunately, Baby Guan was saved. I havent thanked her properly yet! Li Yan frowned. She had not told him about the robbery! After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she winked at Baby Guan. Baby Guan received her gaze and waved her hand. You dont have to thank me, but if you really want to thank me, can you help me educate Lu Jingzhi? Yes! Qiao Mu nodded cooperatively. He reallycks education! Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Was this Qiao Mu deliberately going against him? He was even helping Guan Baobei in front of his brother. Last time, his brother even urged them to get married. If his brother interfered in his private affairs, then his future would be dark! Li Yan looked up coldly and nced at Lu Jingzhi. What did I tell youst time? Ill give you a few days to settle this matter! Lu Jingzhi was forced to nod his head. He nced coldly at Baby Guan and said, Get in the car with me! Baby Guan was delighted and looked at Qiao Mu gratefully before she slipped into Lu Jingzhis car. No. 3, Su Chen said tactfully, go with your fiance first. Ill wait for my driver to pick me up. Lu Jingzhi cursed in his heart. It was all Su Chens fault. If he had not been the chauffeur, this would not have happened! After Lu Jingzhi left, it was finally quiet. Qiao Mu looked at the bright sun above her head. After watching the show, her stomach felt empty. She looked at the man beside her and rubbed her stomach pitifully. Uncle, Im hungry. Li Yans cold gaze swept across her small face. So you asked me toe here just to bring you out for dinner? Qiao Mu chuckled. Isnt this just a coincidence?! As Qiao Mu spoke, she waved at Chi Xia. Xiaxia, lets go. Uncle is treating us to dinner! Li Yans eyes darkened. This little thing really knew how to make decisions on her own. When did he say that he wanted to treat someone other than her to a meal? Chi Xia was very observant. She shook her head and said, I wont be the third wheel. You can go eat with your uncle. What do you mean by third wheel? Uncle is very generous. He wont abandon you. Li Yan was speechless. Then, Qiao Mu dragged Chi Xia to get into the car. She saw Su Chen beside her and asked politely, Young Master Su, do you want to join us? Li Yan stood at the side calmly. This little thing was really like a mistress. Su Chen shot Chi Xia a cold nce. He knew what he meant without saying anything. DISCId111. To Li Yan, having one more person was as troublesome as having two more people. There was no difference, so Su Chen said, Your chauffeur will take an hour to get here. Lets go together. You drive. Upon hearing this, Chi Xia prayed silently that she would not nod! However, Su Chen didnt nod. He just got into the car. Chi Xia wanted to cry but no tears came out. This man had clearly told her not to appear in his sight.. Wasnt he making things difficult for her? Chapter 278 - 278: The Shrimp Is Not Fresh For You Chapter 278: The Shrimp Is Not Fresh For You Trantor: 549690339 In the dining room, Li Yan and Su Chen sat on one side while Qiao Mu and Chi Xia sat on the other. When the food was served, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia started eating. They had been busy the entire morning and were both tired and hungry. Li Yan looked at the little things poor eating habits and frowned slightly. He reminded her, Eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you. Qiao Mu nodded and focused on the grilled prawns in her hands. The dried skin of the grilled prawns stuck to the meat and was very difficult to peel off. She found it strenuous, so she directly put the prawns into her mouth and spat out the skin as she ate. This prawn is too grilled. Its so hard to eat. Chi Xia was helpless. I think youre just tired of peeling the skin. Do you want me to peel the skin and feed it to you? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. If you were so considerate to me, I would be scared to death. Qiao Mu was eating when she saw Li Yan taking a grilled prawn and peeling it patiently. The mans fingers were slender and his movements were unhurried. The prawn that was particrly difficult to peel was peeled cleanly in his hands in just a few strokes. Qiao Mu stared at the prawn meat for a while before burying her head in her food. When Li Yan saw Qiao Mus eager gaze, a smile shed across his eyes. He ced the prawn meat on her te. You can eat it. Qiao Mu was instantly overwhelmed by the favor! When had Li Yan ever served her so well? Alright, although he was sometimes very considerate, the number of times he served her like this was very few! Uncle, why arent you eating? she asked uncertainly. Li Yan continued to peel another prawn as if nothing had happened. His voice was calm as he said, This prawn isnt fresh. Its for you. Qiao Mu was speechless. She knew that this man was not that kind. However, there were palm-sized prawns. They were clearly fresh and delicious, and the color was also good. How was it not fresh? Qiao Mu didnt care so much. She took the prawn meat and put it into her mouth, eating it to her hearts content. Immediately after, Li Yan peeled another prawn and handed it over. This isnt fresh either. Su Chen looked at Li Yans cold and aloof expression and smiled faintly. Big Brother, since the prawns are not fresh, should we call the manager to change the te? As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yans cold gaze swept over. Su Chen smiled and shut his mouth. He was nice to Su Chen, yet he was beating around the bush. How could Su Chen remember his kindness? Everyone else had clearly seen through it, but Young Master Li was thick-skinned and did not feel embarrassed at all. Chi Xia could naturally tell what Li Yan was thinking, so she smiled and said, Young Master Li, youre so considerate to our Mumu. Our Mumu? Li Yans eyes turned cold when he heard her address him. He nced at Chi Xia and asked, Whats your surname? Chi Xia noticed the change in Li Yans expression. She did not know what she had said wrong. Just as she was reflecting on her actions, Li Yan asked for her surname. His surname is Chi, Chi Xia answered honestly. Chi Xia, isnt Young Master Lis memory too bad? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Since your surname is Chi, how did Qiao Mu be your familys daughter? Chi Xia was speechless. So this was what Young Master Li cared about! Qiao Mu isnt from my family. Shes from your family, Young Master Li! Chi Xia immediately corrected herself with a smile. Li Yans expression softened after he was done with the ttery, showing that he was satisfied. Chi Xia raised her head and her eyes identally met the man opposite her. * Cough * The way this man looked at her really made her ufortable! When he was speaking earlier, he was still smiling and looked like he was bathing in the spring breeze. However, when he turned around and saw her, his face immediately turned into one of disgust.. Chapter 279 - 279: The Shrimp That Uncle Peeled Must Be Eaten Chapter 279: The Shrimp That Uncle Peeled Must Be Eaten Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu ate sixrge prawns in a row. The palm-sized prawns were enough to fill her stomach without eating anything else. Then, Li Yan peeled another prawn and brought it over. She really could not eat anymore. Uncle, Im full. I cant eat anymore. Qiao Mu looked at the prawn meat on her te. It would be a waste if she didnt eat it, so she directly ced the prawn meat on Chi Xias te. Xiaxia, help me eat this. Chi Xia suddenly felt a lot of pressure. If youre not going to eat, then let your uncle eat! Uncle thinks the prawns arent fresh. He doesnt eat fresh prawns. You should eat them. Chi Xia was speechless. Su Chen was speechless. Li Yan was speechless. This woman was really stupid! However, how could Chi Xia dare to eat prawns peeled by Young Master Li? She immediately ced the prawn meat back onto Qiao Mus te and said shyly, My stomach hasnt been feeling well recently, so I cant eat anything thats not fresh. You dont need this one. Dont waste it. Hurry up and eat it. Qiao Mu was speechless. He saw that she had eaten quite a lot just now! If you dont eat it, then throw it away! Li Yan said coldly. Qiao Mu nced at the mans expression before finally putting the prawn meat into her mouth. As she chewed, she said, Uncle peeled it. I have to eat it too! This hug was exactly what a certain man wanted. The meal ended. Li Yan hade to Qiao Mus school in the afternoon, but it was already packed. After lunch, he sent Qiao Mu and Chi Xia back to school and went back to work. The anniversary celebration continued. Chi Xia was tired and went back to her dormitory to rest. Qiao Mu was strolling around the campus alone when she saw Ye Lin surrounded by a crowd. The people surrounding Ye Lin were the current students. The other was the vice president of the student council, Tang Tian. After Han Su graduated, she might be the next president. Qiao Mu could hear Tang Tiansughter from afar. Sister Lin, youre really amazing. Youre already the manager of the design department not long after you joined LSAG. Youre my role model! Ye Lin smiled. As long as you work hard and have the ability, your talent will not be wasted. After you graduate, you will be just like me. Ill graduate next year and be able to work at the end of this year. When that timees, Sister Lin must help me. Ye Lin sneered disdainfully in her heart, but her expression was very gentle. She raised her head and suddenly saw Qiao Mu strolling around. Her lips curled up coldly. To enter ourpany, you have to rely on your ability. You cant go through the back door like some people. During the summer break this year, an intern came to ourpany. Speaking of which, its such a coincidence that shes a student in our school. After entering thepany, she didnt work properly and ended up leakingpany secrets, so she was fired. Who is it? How dare you do such a thing! Tang Tian also wanted to go to LSAE for an internship during the summer vacation, but she did not pass. That was when she met Ye Lin! Ye Lin looked into the distance as if she had identally discovered something. Her face was filled with surprise. Speak of the devil. Here he is. Look, thats the intern I was talking about. Qiao Mu? Tang Tian recognized Qiao Mu. You know each other? Tang Tian shook her head. I dont know her. She had a scandal with our president. It was all over the school forum. This Qiao Mu is definitely trying to make use of the president to hype herself up! someone beside her said jealously. Shes too scheming! She looks like a vixen! Ye Lin curled her lips coldly and said meaningfully, She did a lot of wrong things, but there were people protecting her. Maybe she had a backer. She did something wrong, but she didnt pay the price. It makes people feel very unfair.. Chapter 280 - 280: Ye Lin’s Lie Was Exploded Chapter 280: Ye Lins Lie Was Exploded Trantor: 549690339 After Ye Lin finished speaking, the surrounding people echoed,This is too easy on her! Its too unfair for people like us who dont have any background to use our looks to get to the top but dont take advantage of the opportunity! Thats right! Just looking at that vixen appearance made him angry! You look so innocent, but I dont know how dirty you are in your heart! The person who spoke deliberately raised his voice so that his voice was clearly transmitted into Qiao Mils ears. Qiao Mus expression darkened. She originally wanted to ignore him, but if she walked away silently, people would only say that she was guilty. He stopped in his tracks and swept a cold nce at the group of people. Youre badmouthing people behind their backs, and youre speaking so confidently. Arent you afraid of beingughed at for being uncultured? Tang Tian snorted. Were just feeling indignant for Sister Lin. Sister Lin has been managing the design department well, but you went in through the back door to stir up trouble. How shameless! Qiao Mus lips curled up. Oh? How can you be so sure that shes telling the truth? The vice presidents ttery is really amazing. You Tang Tians expression changed. Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a voice. Hey, isnt this Manager Ye? It was a male voice. Ye Lin turned around and saw the person who hade. A hint of panic shed across her face. The person was an employee of Li Corporation. Although they were from different departments, he knew her! Unfortunately, the person who came had been bullied by Ye Lin before. Seeing how Ye Lin was surrounded and looking very proud, the person smiled. So Manager Ye also graduated from this school. So is my girlfriend. Im here with her today. Oh right, I cant call you Manager Ye anymore. Youve been fired by thepany. Youre no longer a manager. Everyone was stunned. Qiao Mu was stunned. She actually didnt know that Ye Lin was fired. Ye Lins expression turned even uglier. Tang Tian frowned and said to the man, Hey, who are you? Who said that Sister Lin was fired? Im her colleague. Didnt Ye Lin mention this? Thats true. Its very embarrassing to be fired after making a mistake in thepany. The man seemed to be worried that others would not believe him, so he took out his business card and showed it to Tang Tian. After Tang Tian confirmed it, she looked at Ye Lin in disbelief. She was very angry. Just now, she had been ttering Ye Lin, thinking that she could use this rtionship after graduation. She did not expect Ye Lin to be fired long ago! Yeh Lins face waspletely lost. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head with a wronged expression. I didnt mention this matter because I believe that thepany will hire me back. They wont push Qiao Mus mistake onto me and make me bear the responsibility just because she has an unclear rtionship with the higher-ups. A cold glint shed across Qiao Mus eyes. She finally witnessed how disgusting Ye Lins face was! At this moment, the people who were disgusted with Ye Lin earlier instantly pointed their spearheads at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu really couldnt be bothered with this group of people and turned to leave. Ye Lin caught up to Qiao Mu not long after she left. Ye Lin grabbed Qiao Mus wrist and blocked her way. Qiao Mu, are you secretly happy that I was fired? If you want tough,ugh. Dont pretend like nothing happened! Qiao Mu looked at Ye Lin coldly. Youre overestimating yourself. Impletely uninterested in your matters. Your fate has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with you? You really dare to say that! If it wasnt for you, would I have be like this? You must really want to know why I was fired, right? Li Yan took revenge on me because of you. He pushed all the me of the design n being leaked to me. Not only did he fire me, but he also cut off my future. Its all because of you! At this point, Ye Lins emotions were very agitated.. Chapter 281 - 281: Falling Into the Water Chapter 281: Falling Into the Water Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes slightly. It turned out that Li Yan had noticed that Ye Lin had been targeting her in thepany. He had even attacked Ye Lin for her without her Imowing! Qiao Mu felt a little joy in her heart and smiled at Ye Lin. Thank you. If you hadnt told me all this, I wouldnt have known. Youre really shameless! Compared to Ye Lins twisted face, Qiao Mu smiled very smugly. Ye Lin, since you know that Li Yan is protecting me, you should know your ce and stop targeting me! After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she turned around and left. Ye Lin red at Qiao Mus departing figure. She indeed did not dare toy a hand on Qiao Mu anymore. Li Yan was not someone she could afford to offend! At this moment, Tang Tian walked over. Sister Lin, this Qiao Mu is too arrogant. Is her backer very powerful? Ye Lin looked at Tang Tian with a scheming look in her eyes. Isnt he just an old man in ourpany? She has some power in thepany, but shes nothing outside thepany. Its just that a person like me without a background cant win against her. If I had a little background, I wouldnt have let her be arrogant. Tang Tians eyes lit up. Sister Lin, leave it to me! The corners of Ye Lins mouth curled up coldly. She was really naive and ignorant. She did not need to do anything and someone would help her. Even if something happened, it had nothing to do with her! Qiao Mu stood beside the artificialke on campus, ready to call Chi Xia. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from behind her. She quickly turned around and saw a figure quickly passing by in front of her. Plop . Theke water sshed, and Qiao Mu jumped in fright. She turned around and saw someone fall into the water! HelpHelp! Someone pushed me into the water, please save me! The person in the water shouted loudly, and only then did Qiao Mu clearly see that it was Tang Tian! Tang Tian was clearlying for her just now. If she hadnt suddenly moved, she might have been the one who fell into the water! In an instant, Qiao Mu understood what was going on. She calmly stood by the shore. Senior Sister Tang Tian, who pushed you into the water? Theres no one else around! Theres only you and me here. Of course, you pushed me! Tang Tian pped the water with both hands and shouted, Hurry up and save me! Qiao Mu looked at Tang Tian coldly and watched as her body sank. She reached out her hand and said, Senior Sister, if you want to harm others in the future, dont use such a stupid method. If you fail to harm others, youll end up harming yourself instead. Tang Tian gritted her teeth and grabbed Qiao Mus hand. Her sinister voice rang out, As your senior, Ill teach you a lesson today! Qiao Mu was shocked. Before she could react, she felt the hand holding her forcefully pull her into the water. In the next second, a cold chill hit him, and his body was instantly enveloped by water. Qiao Mu instantly panicked and struggled in the water, not knowing what to do. In an instant, an overwhelming tear assaulted her and surrounded her. She did not know how to swim. Ever since she was pushed into the pool by Qiao Ya when she was young and almost drowned, she had been traumatized. She panicked and wanted to grab Tang Tian, but she was kicked further and further away from the shore by Tang Tian. Stop pretending. Do you think Ill believe that you cant swim? Tang Tian looked at Qiao Mu calmly. When she suddenly saw someone running over, she immediately started to beat around the bush in the water. A few people rushed over and pulled Tang Tian ashore. Vice President, why did you fall into the water as soon as we separated? Tang Tian bit her lip pitifully and red at Qiao Mu in the water. She pushed me into the water, but she identally fell into the water as well. Quick, call the police.. I was almost killed by her! Chapter 282 - 282: Where Is Uncle? Chapter 282: Where Is Uncle? Trantor: 549690339 Tang Tian took someone elses phone and dialed a number. She cried,Brother, I was pushed into the water. Someone wants to kill me. Hurry up and send someone over! Someone saw that Qiao Mu was still in the water and asked with a frown, Vice President, should we save her first? She doesnt seem to know how to swim! No need to save her. Shes just pretending not to know how to swim to avoid being suspected of pushing me into the water. If she likes to pretend, let her stay in the water for a while longer! Tang Tian said fiercely. Qiao Mu felt a chill in her heart when she heard Tang Tians words. She choked on the water and could only weakly say, Save me. However, the people on the shore surrounded Tang Tian and asked her questions. No one paid attention to her. Instantly, endless despair enveloped her. This feeling was exactly the same as ten years ago! At that time, Qiao Ya was the only one around her. She was desperately asking for help in the water, but she saw Qiao Ya standing on the shore with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She looked at her as if she was watching acrobatics, happy and happy. After that, she gradually lost consciousness. When she woke up, she was already by the pool with Qiao Ya and Yu Tingyun beside her. She was rescued by a servant. While she was still in a daze, she heard Yu Tingyuns indifferent and usatory voice, Qiao Mu, you almost drowned in the pool. Why are you so troublesome? Do you want to anger your father to death? She was almost killed by Qiao Ya, but in the end, it was her own fault! At the thought of this, Qiao Mu choked on the water and returned to reality. Her body no longer had the strength to struggle. Suddenly, someone noticed that something was wrong with Qiao Mu and shouted in rm, Look, she really doesnt know how to swim! Tang Tian panicked when she saw Qiao Mus pale face and pained expression in the water. She really thought that Qiao Mu was pretending not to know how to swim and was just trying to teach her a lesson! Mu Mu! An anxious voice sounded. Han Su walked over quickly, red at the people around him, and quickly jumped into the water. Qiao Mu felt her body sink bit by bit. Thest bit of consciousness she had told her that if no one came to save her, she would die! She never thought that she would be so unlucky. There were clearly people around, but they refused to save her! If something happened to her, would Tang Tian use her of causing her own death instead of harming others? No, she had her uncle. Her uncle would not watch her be wronged But where was his uncle? Suddenly, a force grabbed her waist and lifted her up. Qiao Mu groggily thought that she was actually hallucinating. Mu Mu! Wake up! A vague voice sounded in his ears. Qiao Mu felt that it was bing more and more real. She opened her eyes and subconsciously called out, Uncle As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Han Sus anxious and nervous face. When he saw her open her eyes, he seemed to be at ease. He heaved a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on his face. Qiao Mu took a while to react before she finally rxed. Senior, thank you, cough cough cough I thought I was going to die As the breeze blew, she felt a chill in her body, causing her to tremble uncontrobly. Han Su carried Qiao Mu. Ill bring you to change your clothes. Wait! Tang Tian stepped forward to stop him. President, Qiao Mu pushed me into the water. You cant protect her like this! Han Sus usually calm face instantly turned cold.. Mu Mu pushed you into the water? But what I saw was a group of people watching her in the water and almost drowning! Chapter 283 - 283: Entering the Police Station Chapter 283: Entering the Police Station Trantor: 549690339 She asked for it! President, you cant take her away. Ive already called the police. The police will be here soon! How could she let all her previous efforts go to waste when she was halfway done? She had already fallen into the water and suffered, so she naturally had to make Qiao Mu pay the price! Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu raised her head and swept a cold gaze at Tang Tian. Since you want to call the police to resolve this matter, then settle the score properly! Tang Tian met Qiao Mus gaze. That womans face was clearly pale and her weak lips were trembling, but the way she looked at her made her feel a little guilty. Realizing that she had no confidence, Tang Tian immediately straightened her back. What was there to be afraid of? Her brother worked in the police station closest to the school and was also the captain of a small team. As long as he entered the police station, Qiao Mu would not be able to exin herself even if she had a reason. At that time, it would be her world! Han Su frowned. Tang Tian was deliberately looking for trouble! Qiao Mu, who was in his arms, was trembling all over. If she didnt change her clothes quickly, she would definitely fall sick! Han Su was about to leave, but Tang Tian blocked his way firmly. The president had already graduated anyway, so she was not afraid of offending him! At this moment, the police arrived. The leader, a 27 -year-old male police officer, walked over with a stun baton in his hand andmanded, What happened? We received a report that someone was pushed into the water. Everyone involved, go to the police station! Qiao Mus entire body was icy cold, and her wet clothes clung tightly to her upper body. She wore thin clothes in the summer to begin with, so her clothes were wet and almost exposed. Han Su put her down, took off his coat, and draped it over Qiao Mu. He then said to the police, 0fficer, can you let her change her clothes before going to the police station? The police are catching criminals. How can they have so much free time? Cut the crap and get in the car! Han Su still wanted to say something, but Qiao Mu shook her head. Forget it, senior. Itll dry up soon. Ill go with you, Han Su said worriedly. The group got into the police car and left. Ye Lin, who was behind the crowd, looked at the photo of Qiao Mus downtrodden state on her phone with satisfaction and sent it out. Then, she made a call. Miss Qiao, are you satisfied? Youre really something to make Qiao Mu look so pathetic. This time, we can teach that wretched girl a lesson! Qiao Ya gloated. Then what did Miss Qiao promise me? Just wait for the news! Qiao Ya hung up the phone and stepped into the house. Yu Tingyun was arranging flowers on the balcony. When she saw Qiao Ya, she asked, Are you satisfied with your anniversary celebration? Qiao Ya angrily took off the hair essory on her head and threw it on the ground. Im so angry! Mom, Ive lost all my face! What now? I was humiliated by the person I like in front of everyone. Mom, whats wrong with me? Why doesnt Su Chen like me? Yu Tingyun put down the flowers in her hand. You dont care about your image when youre in trouble. Cant you be more mature? Wasnt it just a man? If you like it, your father will marry into the Smiths. Wouldnt you naturally be the young mistress of the Smiths? Qiao Ya was delighted. Really? You dont have to worry about the marriage. Your father and I will help you settle it! Qiao Yas worries instantly disappeared. She told Yu Tingyun about Ye Lin harming Qiao Mu and then asked, Mom, this person must be very useful to ourpany! No, shes someone Li Yan chased away. We cant use her. Because of the design proposal, Li Yan has already given us face by not expressing his stance. If we take her in, wouldnt we be deliberately going against him? We cant offend Li Yan because of this person.. Chapter 284 - 284: Quickly Lock Her Up! Chapter 284: Quickly Lock Her Up! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Ya thought about it and nodded. Anyway, she had only casually promised Ye Lin. Whether she fulfilled her promise or not was another matter. Qiao Jiannan came out of his room after a series of coughs upstairs. Ever since Qiao Jiannan fell ill, his health was not as good as before. He spent most of his time resting at home, and thepany was handed over to Yu Tingyun and her daughter. Qiao Jiannan smiled when he saw Qiao Ya. Youre dressed so beautifully. What event did you attend? Yu Tingyun nonchntly gave Qiao Ya a look. Qiao Ya understood and ran to Qiao Jiannan, Dad, I have something to tell you. Dont be angry. It wasnt me, it was Mumu. Qiao Ya nced at Qiao Jiannans expression and said cautiously, I just received news that Qiao Mu had an argument with a ssmate at school. In a fit of anger, she pushed the other party into an artificialke and almost drowned him. She was then brought to the police station! Qiao Jiannans expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly coughed violently. How could this happen? Go to the police station and get your sister out! Yu Tingyun stepped forward and patted Qiao Jiannans back. Sheforted him softly, Mu Mu is still immature. Dont get angry and ruin your health. Leave this matter to Xiao Ya, your sister. Dont worry about it. Sigh, Mumu has always been an obedient child. How could she do such a thing? Qiao Jiannan sighed angrily. Dad, dont worry. Leave it to me. Qiao Ya smiled coldly. If she caused trouble, she would let that wretched girl stay in the police station for a few days. When she was in a good mood, she would go and pick her up! Inside the police station, the air-conditioning was turned on. Qiao Mu did not feel too cold when she was basking in the sun outside, but her entire body was shivering from the cold the moment she entered the police station. Lets finish her statement. She needs to go back and change her clothes! Han Su urged. Tang Tian looked at Qiao Mus disheveled appearance and said to the police investigating the case, 0fficer Tang, she was the one who pushed me into the water. After she pushed me into the water, she identally fell into the water. Fortunately, someone passed by and pulled me out. Otherwise, I would have drowned! Tang Tian, I remember you know how to swim! Han Su said coldly. I was so frightened that I forgot what to do. After all, Ive never encountered such a thing! Qiao Mu controlled her trembling body and narrowed her eyes at Tang Tian. Do you think you can push the me onto me just because you have no proof? There will always be passersby who will see who pushed who! You Tang Tian felt guilty and her voice became sharper. Officer Tang, look at her. She still doesnt want to admit it. Hurry up and lock her up for a few days so that she can repent! Qiao Mu sneered. Did she really think that this police station belonged to her family and that she could lock up whoever she wanted? However, at this moment, the policeman opposite him said, Qiao Mu, Im imprisoning you on the charge of attempted murder. After the matter is investigated thoroughly, Ill decide that youve offended me! Qiao Mus eyes widened in disbelief. When she looked up, she saw Tang Tians smug smile. She immediately understood why Tang Tian was sowless. It turned out that she knew someone in the police station! Youw-enforcement officers are so careless! Han Su said angrily. You have no evidence. You have no right to lock him up! Power? I have the final say here! Tang Tians brother sneered and waved at the police officer standing at the side. Lock her up. The police officer grabbed Qiao Mus wrist, but Qiao Mu flung it away forcefully. Get lost, dont touch me! You still dare to be arrogant in the police station? Tired of living! With that, the police officer yanked hard and threw Qiao Mus petite body out. Bang! With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.. Chapter 285 - 285: Her Uncle Is Here! Chapter 285: Her Uncle Is Here! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was thrown out roughly by the police. Her body was already very weak from the cold, and her head was dizzy. She was thrown by a force, and her body lost bnce. Her back hit the corner of the table, and she fell to the ground again. It hurt! The pain in her back spread to her entire body. In an instant, all her senses were reced by pain, and she frowned in pain. Damn it! Although her body was in pain, her consciousness was not clear at all. She clenched her fists tightly and her fingers pinched her palms. She could not lose consciousness at this time! Mu Mu! Han Su quickly stepped forward and squatted down to help Qiao Mu up. Bang! Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and the decorative ss in the middle of the door shattered on the ground because of the violent collision with the wall. Qiao Mu was startled and subconsciously looked up. She vaguely saw a tall figure standing at the door. The mans back was facing the light. Although she couldnt see his face clearly, she still recognized who he was! Her uncle was here! Qiao Mus tensed heart waspletely relieved in an instant. She heaved a sigh of relief, and her body, which she had been holding on to, instantly softened and fell onto Han Sus chest. Li Yan walked in with heavy steps. The police officer who caught up with him shouted, Captain, I cant stop this person. He insisted oning in! The police officer who was rough with Qiao Mu stepped forward and shouted like a local hooligan, You f * cking rushed to the police station to cause trouble. Why dont you take a look at where you areAh . With a scream, she was kicked away. The moment Li Yan entered the house, he saw Qiao Mu lying on the ground. Her face was pale, and her lips were purple from weakness. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were wet. The anger he had umted along the way instantly reached its peak! She was still alive and kicking when she parted ways with him in the afternoon! Li Yans cold eyes were filled with a cold light, and a bloodthirsty killing intent shed in his eyes. He impatiently raised his leg and kicked the person who came to bump into him. This kick released all the anger that had been suppressed in his heart. He kicked the person directly into the wall opposite him! Tang Tian and her brother, Tang Lei, were stunned. Tang Lei quickly reacted and pointed at Li Yan angrily. Looking at Li Yans murderous aura, he could not help but stutter,You, you, youWho are you? Donte overMen, hurry up and take him down! Lei Tang was so scared that his legs were trembling. He did not dare to get close to Li Yan and could only shout with hisst bit of confidence. Li Yan strode forward, and Tang Leis legs instantly went weak from fright. However, Li Yan did not stop and directly walked past him to stand in front of Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu was leaning weakly into Han Sus embrace. Han Su protected her with both hands in front of his chest and looked down at her with concern. Upon seeing this, Li Yan narrowed his eyes and pursed his thin lips into a thin line. He did not say a word, and his tall body bent down to pull Qiao Mu into his embrace. His actions were domineering and powerful, but also very gentle. His every move was telling everyone that this woman was his! Han Su looked at his empty hands and then at Li Yans undisguised possessiveness. He frowned slightly. He had always thought that Li Yan was Qiao Mus uncle, but at this moment, Li Yans actions did not seem like an uncle at all! Tang Tian, who had been in shock, waspletely immersed in Li Yans handsome and domineering aura. She finally reacted after a long time. This man was here to save Qiao Mu! Could it beThis man was Qiao Mus backer? [Ill update a chapter after midnight and let my uncle appear.. Girls, please give me your rmendation votes Chapter 286 - 286: The Furious Li Yan Chapter 286: The Furious Li Yan Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan looked at the little thing in his arms and felt his heart clench. Damn it! She actually made herself look so pathetic! Qiao Mu felt herself falling into a firm and familiar embrace. She opened her eyes in a daze and happened to meet Li Yans gaze. The grievance in her heart swelled up like a sponge that had encountered water. It exploded in an instant! Uncle Just as she opened her mouth, her voice choked up. She bit her lip and controlled her emotions. He could alwayse at the right time, always appearing when she needed him the most! Ever since she was young, she had long been used to being wronged and bullied. Qiao Yas targeting and making things difficult for her made her build a thick wall in her heart, blocking all cowardice. Even if she was wronged and tortured, she could endure it! She knew that one day, she would have to endure it all. She faced everything with determination, but halfway through, this man appeared. The man who had abandoned her had returned to her side and be her support. Unknowingly, she had already gotten used to thinking of him first when she encountered difficulties! Before she realized it, she had already be dependent on this man. Just like back then! Qiao Mu wanted to stand up straight, but her back started to hurt when she moved slightly. Hiss The little thing in his arms groaned and frowned, causing Li Yans expression to darken. He looked down and realized that there was a red spot on the back of her clothes! It was blood! She was injured! Li Yans eyes instantly turned red like a furious lion. It was extremely frightening! He turned his head and nced at Tang Lei with his malicious eyes. Lei Tang had relied on his connections to be the captain of this palm-sized police team. He was idling around all day long, dominating this area, and felt that he was very impressive. The people he targeted were allmoners with no power or background. If he bullied them, so be it. When had he ever encountered such a strong counterattack? However, no matter how powerful the other party was, he was still alone! There was no movement outside. He had only brought one person with him and he stood at the door without moving. This immediately made Lei Tang feel more confident. While Li Yans attention was on Qiao Mu, Tang Lei quietly picked up the stun baton beside him and turned it on to the maximum before he quickly approached Li Yan. However, before the stun baton could touch Li Yan, the man seemed to have sensed something. He hugged the woman in his arms and moved to the side in a sh. The next second, Lei Yi, who was standing at the door, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lei Tangs hand. Lei Yis movements were extremely fast, ruthless and urate. With a backhand, he dislocated Lei Tangs arm. Lei Tang screamed like a pig being ughtered. He hugged his arms and fell to the ground. Li Yan gently picked Qiao Mu up and swept his cold gaze across the person who was screaming in pain. His bloodthirsty and gloomy voice rang out, Since he likes to use the electric baton, let him have a taste of it. Yes, Young Master! Lei Yi answered, picked up the electric baton, and electrocuted Tang Lei. Ah Lei Tang screamed in pain, his entire body twitching uncontrobly. Brother! Tang Tian screamed and shouted angrily, What are you doing? Its illegal for you to beat up a police officer. Stop it! Qiao Mu was leaning against Li Yans chest in a daze. She faintly heard Tang Tians words, and the corners of her lips curled up coldly. She even knew that it was illegal? Li Yan noticed that the little things expression had turned colder. He narrowed his eyes slightly. Young Master Li, this is the woman who framed Mu Mu, Han Su said.. Chapter 287 - 287: Stay Away From Her In The Future Chapter 287: Stay Away From Her In The Future Trantor: 549690339 After Han Su finished speaking, he felt Li Yans cold gaze sweep over him. His gaze was cold as ice, as if he had said something wrong. Li Yans gaze did not stop on Han Su. Instead, he turned to Tang Tian. His cold eyesnded on Tang Tians face. His sharp and deep gaze instantly made Tang Tians heart stop beating. This man was so handsome that it was suffocating. Tang Tians heart beat rapidly as he stared at her. Looking at Qiao Mu in the mans arms, Tang Tian instantly felt that she was an eyesore! Tang Tian took a step forward and pleaded, Please let my brother go! Li Yans thin lips curled up as his cold and deadly voice rang out word by word, Since youre pleading for him, then youll enjoy this treatment on his behalf. Tang Tians face instantly turned pale! Lei Yi held the stun baton in his hand and frowned slightly. Young Master, you really know how to give me a hard time. I dont like to hit women. Then let someone else rece him! Li Yan curled his lips coldly and nced at Tang Lei, who was almost unconscious. Li Yan left with Qiao Mu in his arms. The little woman in his arms was burning up. He did not have time to waste here. Han Su, who was standing quietly at the side, watched Li Yan leave. Then, he looked at the mess in the room and pursed his lips. Even if Qiao Mu was bullied, the way he retaliated was too ruthless! The rumor that Li Yan was bloodthirsty and heartless was indeed true! Han Su followed Li Yan and left. Inside the house, Lei Yis brows rxed as he threw the stun baton to Tang Lei. As a police officer, you should use this often. Do it yourself. You You want me to electrocute my sister? Lei Tang couldnt even enunciate clearly. So its your sister. Its fine if you dont electrocute her. Then electrocute yourself. Tang Leis expression was ugly. He held the stun baton in his hand hesitantly. He looked at Tang Tian and did not have the heart to do it. Tang Tian shook her head in panic. Brother, how could you electrocute me? You wont! Sister, Im sorry. If I dont electrocute you, Ill electrocute myself. My body cant take it anymore. If I get electrocuted again, Ill die. Please suffer for your brother As Tang Lei spoke, he gritted his teeth and touched Tang Tians skin with the stun baton. A heart-wrenching scream rang out. Qiao Mu faintly heard a scream, and her body trembled in Li Yans embrace. Li Yan ced Qiao Mu in the car. Han Su followed him and asked, Young Master Li, is Mumu alright? She will be fine. Han Su, you and Qiao Mu dont stand a chance. Stay away from her in the future! Li Yan said coldly as he turned around to nce at Han Su. Han Su was stunned. What does Young Master Li mean? Mumu and I are just schoolmates. No matter what rtionship you have with her, I wont allow you to get close to her again! Li Yans voice was extremely cold, as if he was dering ownership of his own things. Young Master Li, you have no right to interfere in Qiao Mus private matters. She has her own ideas about who shell hang out with and what friends shell make! Although the man in front of him was so powerful that he could notpare, his domineering and unreasonable aura made him unable to stand it. Li Yans face darkened and his lips curled up sinisterly. My thoughts are her thoughts! In the car, the groggy Qiao Mu groaned and frowned slightly, looking extremely ufortable. Li Yan did not say anything else to Han Su and got into the car. Han Su frowned as he watched the car leave quickly. He was now certain that Qiao Mu and Li Yan were not in a normal rtionship! If it was just his uncle, why was he looking at his nephew as if he was looking atHis woman? Chapter 288 - 288: Frightened Chapter 288: Frightened Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu didnt know when she lost consciousness, but she was in a daze. Her entire body was burning, and it was so hot that even breathing was strenuous for her. All sorts of noises could be heard. There were voices, footsteps, and all kinds of noisesing and going. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were especially heavy and she could not open them. Her body was originally hot, but she instantly felt cold. It was so cold that she could not help but shiver. An image shed in his mind, and he suddenly returned to ten years ago. He fell into the pool, and Qiao Ya wasughing arrogantly by the shore Dont Qiao Mu mumbled in a daze. Her face was flushed and her emotions were extremely unstable. Li Yan, who was standing by the bed, frowned. His eyes were filled with worry and heartache. After the doctor did a checkup, he looked at the mans cold aura and said cautiously,Mr. Li, the patient has a high fever because of a cold. The wound on her back was soaked in dirty water and caused an infection. Its not serious. As long as she receives an infusion to reduce the fever, she will recover soon. Li Yan pursed his lips and nodded, agreeing to the doctors infusion. When the doctor was ready to insert the needle, Qiao Mus hand moved uncooperatively and she kept muttering something, making it difficult for the doctor to do it. Li Yan sat down by the bed and vaguely heard her voice. DontSister, save mel didnt fall into the water, it was my sister who pushed meMumu is very obedient and didnt make a fuss Li Yans eyes darkened as he listened to her helpless cry for help. His heart clenched tightly. Hisrge hand gently caressed her forehead, and his low voice rang in her ear, Mumu, Im here. Be good. Youll be fine. Qiao Mu seemed to hear a voice in her sleep, and her emotions gradually calmed down. Li Yan watched as the doctor put on the IV drip and asked coldly,Shes just having a fever. Why is she so emotionally unstable? The patient fell into the water and had a fever. It might be because he was frightened, or it might be because he had a simr experience in the past that left behind some aftereffects. Thats why he reacted so excitedly. the doctor replied respectfully. After-effects? Li Yans face darkened when he thought of what she had said earlier. Had Qiao Ya pushed her into the water before? How much grievances had this little thing suffered? Li Yan had never known what regret was, but at this moment, he regretted leaving without saying goodbye all those years ago! Qiao Ya! Li Yans eyes shed with a bone-piercing coldness. He had to make Qiao Ya pay the price! Qiao Mu did not know how long she had slept, but it felt like she had slept for a century. When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar room. She got up and saw Li Yan leaning on the sofa opposite her. His eyes were closed as if he was asleep. He looked very tired, with ayer of stubble on his chin. The two buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned and casually opened. His originally docile clothes were full of wrinkles. The man who had always loved cleanliness and could not tolerate a trace of mess had made himself look so disgraceful. Even so, it still couldnt hide his handsome face. Instead, it made him even sexier. Qiao Mu moved her arm and felt the back of her hand hurt. Only then did she see the empty bag of medicine hanging at the side. She had just received an IV drip. She had fallen asleep, but this man had been by her side the entire time? Qiao Mu couldnt bear to wake him up, so she quietly got off the bed. Enduring the faint pain in her back, she took the nket and gently covered the mans body. However, her gentle movements caused the man to frown slightly. In the next moment, his wrist was grabbed. Hiss He happened to be holding the spot where she had been injected with the needle. Li Yan opened his eyes immediately. When he saw the person in front of him, he immediately let go and frowned.. Why did you get out of bed? Chapter 289 - 289: Rare Thoughtfulness Chapter 289: Rare Thoughtfulness Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu stared intently at his eyes that were filled with worry, and her heart tightened. She opened her mouth, but just as she was about to speak, she felt a burning pain in her throat. Uncle, have you been guarding this ce all this time? she asked softly, enduring the pain. Hearing her hoarse voice, Li Yan quickly got up and carried her in his arms. He strode towards the bed and replied in a matter-of-fact tone, If I dont watch over you, who do you want to watch over you? Qiao Mu leaned her face against the mans chest and caught a whiff of the faint smell of tobo. She conveniently hooked her arms around his neck. Uncle, how long have I been asleep? Ive been sleeping since I came back yesterday. Its been 24 hours. Li Yans tone was clear and indifferent. In the end, he added Qiao Mus familiar disdain.Youre like a little pig. No matter how I wake you up, you wont wake up. If it werent for the fact that you slept so unobediently, I would have thought . At this point, Li Yan stopped talking forcefully. He did not want to reveal the panic that he had never felt before. No matter how much he called her, no matter what he said to her, she ignored him, making him feel like he was about to lose her. Li Yan pursed his lips and lowered his eyes to look at his slightly pale face. His expression turned colder and his tone was filled with warning. Qiao Mu, you better remember that you belong to me. I wont allow anything to happen to you. You better take good care of yourself! The mans words were clearly overbearing with a trace of irrationality, but in Qiao Mus ears, there was a different kind of gentleness. She didnt know if she was crazy or not. Why did she feel that this mans words with a cold face made her feel very considerate? After Li Yan finished speaking, he saw the little thing in his arms blinking her big eyes and looking at him nkly with an ignorant expression. Li Yan frowned and ced hisrge hand on her forehead. Has the fever not subsided yet? He felt that her body temperature was normal and nced at her. Your reaction is so slow. Is your brain fried? Youre not smart to begin with. If you be stupid again, youll really be incurable. Qiao Mu was speechless. She had just thought that this man was very considerate, but why was he mocking her in the blink of an eye? With a gulp, Qiao Mus stomach issued an emergency signal. She blushed and rubbed her stomach in embarrassment. Li Yans lips curled up. You still know how to be hungry? Youre not that stupid. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Uncle, you have to maintain a good mood when youre sick. Youre always mocking me and saying things that hurt me. Itll affect my recovery. This little thing! She was as shrewd as a little fox. How was she stupid? She even knew how to use her current situation to pretend to be pitiful! Does your back hurt? Li Yan asked helplessly. Can you go downstairs yourself? No problem! Qiao Mu quickly stood up, but because she moved too quickly, she tore her wound and felt a burst of pain. Li Yan was staring at her. She was in so much pain that she wanted to grimace. She did not want him to notice, so she could only endure it. However, no matter how nonchnt she pretended to be, a certain man still saw through her thoughts at a nce and his expression changed. Qiao Mu smiled awkwardly. Uncle, Ill be careful. Stop for two seconds with every step you take and go downstairs in five minutes! Qiao Mu was speechless. It cant be like this, right? Qiao Mu had just taken two steps when she turned around and saw that the man did not follow her. She asked in confusion, Arent you going downstairs? Ill be down in a while. Li Yan said as he walked towards the bathroom. In the past 24 hours, he did not dare to leave her side except for going to the bathroom. When she woke up, he could change his dirty clothes and wash them.. Chapter 290 - 290: Becoming Cute After Waking Up Chapter 290: Bing Cute After Waking Up Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu went downstairs. Of course, she did not follow Li Yans instruction to stop for two seconds with every step she took. Did he treat her like a turtle? He even walked at the speed of a turtle! Upon seeing Qiao Mu, the butler came up to her with a worried tone. Second Young Miss Qiao, youre finally awake. Youve been sleeping for a day and a night, and youve given the young master quite a fright. Li Yan was frightened? Qiao Mu smiled. Uncle Chen, look at what youre saying. Its not that exaggerated. The butler sighed. Ever since you were carried back by Young Master yesterday, Young Master has been guarding by the side. He hasnt evene out of the room. Fortunately, Second Miss, your body recovered quickly and woke up. Otherwise, Young Masters body would have copsed. The butlers words instantly stunned Qiao Mu. Li Yan had been guarding her and had never left? When she thought of that mans stubble and wrinkled clothes, Qiao Mu suddenly realized what was going on. That man had always been unbelievably clean. He would shave every day. In her memory, ever since she got together with him, his handsome face had always been clean. This was the first time she saw him not shave! Was it because he was watching over her that he didnt take care of his image and didnt even change his clothes? Qiao Mus heart skipped a beat, and an unfamiliar taste enveloped her. At this moment, footsteps sounded from upstairs. Qiao Mu raised her head, and that tall figure entered her sight. The mans hair was wet and wet. He changed into pajamas, and his face, which was covered with stubble, was as clean as ever. In a short while, the fatigue from before was washed away. Qiao Mu clearly knew that this man had never cared about or cared about others. He had always been egotistical and did not care about the life and death of irrelevant people. However, he had stayed by her side when she was sick! If he didnt care about her, he wouldnt have cared so much about her! For a moment, something seemed to cross his mind. Why are you standing here? Why are you in a daze? Suddenly, the mans voice interrupted Qiao Mus train of thought. Qiao Mu stared at his handsome face in a daze as he walked toward her. Without thinking, she opened her arms and hugged the mans waist. Li Yans body froze. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the little thing in front of him. Her sudden action stunned him. In the past, when had she ever taken the initiative to hug him? Most of the time, he would get close to her to please her when he needed something from her. However, this kind of inexplicable situation had never happened before! Did her illness really burn her brain? Was that why he made such a move? Why did he find her more and more adorable after waking up from her illness? He didnt hate this kind of closeness at all. It could be said that he enjoyed it very much! Qiao Mus head heated up. After hugging Li Yan, she started to regret it. The servants in the room stared at them. What was going on with her sudden action? However, at this moment, she really wanted to hug him and get close to him. For a moment, Qiao Mu felt awkward. She looked up at Li Yan with her big eyes and pouted. Her tone was a little pitiful. Uncle, I cant stand anymore. My back hurts. Li Yan was speechless. This little thing! He raised his eyebrows. So youre hugging me to support your body? Qiao Mu smiled and coughed lightly. I want you to carry me to the dining room. Her soft and coquettish tone made Li Yan smile. [A rmendation ticket Chapter 291 - 291: Attacking the Yu Corporation Chapter 291: Attacking the Yu Corporation Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan carried Qiao Mu in his arms very gently, walked to the dining room, and ced her on a chair. The servants had already ced the dishes on the table. As Qiao Mu smelled the fragrance, her stomach started protesting even more arrogantly. Li Yan looked on helplessly as he eagerly buried his head in the food. From time to time, he would remind him to eat slowly. After eating and drinking to her hearts content, Qiao Mus spirit recovered bit by bit. She suddenly thought of something and looked up at the man opposite her. Uncle, thank you. If you want to thank me, quickly recover! Li Yan said calmly. Qiao Mu nodded. I will. Youre not allowed to go out for the next few days, the man reminded. You cant get exposed to the wind. Stay at home and rest well. Take your medicine on time. Qiao Mu listlessly replied with an oh before saying indignantly, Dont you have to exercise more to recover faster when youre sick? If you stay at home all day and cant breathe, it will get worse! Li Yan smiled and nodded. We do need to exercise, but there are many ways to exercise. We can exercise even if we dont go out. You can exercise without going out These words were as ambiguous as they could be! Even if Qiao Mu didnt want to think about it, she still couldnt help but be dragged into the ditch! She immediately blushed. This bastard, there were still people in the room. Why didnt he open the door when he spoke? Qiao Mu nced at the people around her who were busy with their own matters and did not notice them. She leaned forward and whispered, Uncle, can you not be so revealing in the future? Yes, I know. You like to be sneaky. Qiao Mu was speechless. This time, she could no longer say a word. Her face was about to burn. In the end, he cursed softly, Shameless! The man opposite her chuckled. Little thing, what are you thinking? Even if youre sick, you cant stop those unhealthy thoughts of yours. The exercise Im talking about is indoor exercise in the gym upstairs. You can do any exercise without going out. Are you thinking wrongly? . In Qiao Mus heart, a thousand f * cking mud horses were galloping wildly. In the afternoon, Qiao Mu recuperated at home while Li Yan went to thepany. Li Yan had just arrived at thepany when Lei Yi came up to him and reported, Young Master, weve already found out what happened to Miss Qiao yesterday. This matter is rted to Qiao Ya and Ye Lin. Li Yans eyes darkened. Have you done what I asked you to do to the Yu Corporation? Yes, Qiao Ya asked you out yesterday afternoon to discuss a coboration. Tell her toe to thepany to find me and arrange everything properly. I want to deal a fatal blow to the Yu Corporation as soon as possible! If Qiao Ya had not caused Qiao Mu to be injured time and time again, he would not have been in such a hurry to make a move. After all, the rtionship between the Li family and the Yu family wasplicated. Since they were courting death, he would fulfill their wish! As for Ye Lin Li Yan pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, Announce Ye Lins leak ofpany secrets to the reporters of the business magazines. I want her to be unable to survive in the business circle! Lei Yi nodded and went to do it. Qiao Ya received the notice that Li Yan wanted to meet her. She excitedly changed into a set of beautiful clothes and went to Li Corporation. After entering the office, Qiao Ya said enthusiastically, Uncle Li Yan frowned when he heard the way she addressed him. He felt disgusted when he heard this woman call him that! Li Yans cold eyes swept towards Qiao Ya in disgust. If youre here to chat with me, turn around and leave now! Qiao Ya panicked and immediately changed her words. President Li, Im sorry.. I thought Chapter 292 - 292: Making Qiao Mu Suffering in the Police Station Chapter 292: Making Qiao Mu Suffering in the Police Station Trantor: 549690339 What do you think? I dont have time to talk nonsense with you. Lets get straight to the point! Li Yans voice was extremely cold. It was as if he was sitting across from someone he hated. He could not even be bothered to look at him. Qiao Ya bit her lip and nodded in panic. President Li, Im here today to discuss a coboration with you on behalf of the Yu Corporation. Ive already looked at the project. Theres only one thing I want to say. CEO Yu should have reminded you that the business world is ruthless. If one party breaks the contract, no matter what our rtionship is, I will pursue it! Dont worry, President Li. Ourpany will definitely satisfy you. Thats good! Li Yan curled his lips coldly. Qiao Ya was very nervous from the beginning to the end when she saw Li Yans attitude. She was worried that Li Yan would mention the design proposal. However, Li Yan did not mention a word. As expected, he did not hold it against her for the sake of the rtionship between the two families! As long as the cooperation with the Li Corporation was done well, she would have made a great contribution to the Yu Corporation! After Qiao Ya left, Lei Yi came to the office. Young Master, weve already contacted the supplier. As long as Qiao Ya contacts them and works with them, the Yu Corporation will provide us with substandard goods. The penalty for breaching the contract is enough to take down half of the Yu Corporation. After a pause, Lei Yi asked with uncertainty, But will Qiao Ya really choose the supplier we arranged? Of course! Li Yan narrowed his eyes coldly. That shops goods are cheaper than the market price. Now that the Yu Corporation cant afford such arge capital flow, they will naturally choose cheaper goods! Yu Tingyun gave such a big project to her daughter because she wanted to lose the Yu Corporation! Qiao Ya left the Li Group building and called Yu Tingyun. Mom, the matter has been discussed! Yu Tingyun was delighted. Xiaoya, youre indeed my daughter. Since youre so capable, Ill leave this matter to you. Do it well. Yes! Qiao Ya answered happily. Suddenly, she thought of Qiao Mu and asked, Mom, Qiao Mu is still locked up in the police station. Do you want me to bring her back? No need. Let her stay in there for a few more days. Its a rare opportunity to teach her a lesson! But what did Dad say? Let me tell you about your father. Yu Tingyun hung up the phone and knocked on the door of the study. Qiao Jiannan was going through some documents when Yu Tingyun walked over and poured him a ss of water. She said in a low voice, Jiannan, Xiao Ya went to the police station to pick up Mu Mu, but the police station refused to let her go. They said that Qiao Mu deliberately harmed people and wanted to lock her up for five days. What did you say? Qiao Jiannans expression changed drastically and he looked worried. Why didnt you tell me earlier? Im going to call the police chief Jiannan! Yu Tingyun raised her voice. Mumu did make a mistake. She wont have any bad records in the police station. Ive already informed the police station, and they wont make things difficult for her. Shes unstable now, so its good to let her reflect on herself in there. Qiao Jiannan frowned and wanted to say something, but Yu Tingyun continued, Jiannan, I treat Mumu like my own daughter. I also wish her well. I watched her grow up. I dont like this child to go astray. Qiao Jiannans expression changed slightly. It was obvious that he had been persuaded! Yu Tingyun sneered in her heart. She had heard that the people in that police station were all like hooligans. This time, Qiao Mu was going to suffer! At this moment, Qiao Jiannans phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Qiao Mu! Yu Tingyun was stunned and shook her head in disbelief. Qiao Mu was clearly at the police station! Qiao Jiannan quickly picked up the phone, and Qiao Mus rxed voice immediately sounded from the other end of the line.. Daddy! Chapter 293 - 293: Qjao Mu Absolutely Cannot Be Left Alive! Chapter 293: Qjao Mu Absolutely Cannot Be Left Alive! Trantor: 549690339 Mu Mu? Qiao Jiannan sounded very surprised. You can make a phone call at the police station? Did you cause any trouble? Daddy will send someone to pick you up now! Qiao Mu had only not been home for a few days, so she called her father as usual. She did not expect her father to know that she had been sent to the police station! Just as Qiao Mu was about to speak, she heard Yu Tingyuns voice on the other end of the phone. I Jiannan, dont worry. Ive already spoken to the police. Mumu will be fine. Qiao Mu sneered. Dad, what is Aunt Yun talking about? I just went to the police station to make a statement. Ill be out soon. What can happen? Qiao Jiannan frowned. Didnt you make a mistake and get locked up in the police station? No, I was pushed into the water. Why should I be locked up? Qiao Jiannan red at Yu Tingyun the moment Qiao Mu said that. Yu Tingyuns expression changed. Damn Qiao Mu, she was actually fine! Qiao Jiannan calmly chatted with Qiao Mu for a while before hanging up the phone. He red at Yu Tingyun. Whats going on? You lied to me because you want me to die of anger earlier, right? Yu Tingyun instantly felt guilty, but her reaction was even more agitated than Qiao Jiannans. Jiannan, how can you think of me like that? I heard about this from Xiao Ya, and you framed me without even thinking about it. Havent you seen how Ive treated you and Qiao Mu all these years? I wanted this family to be good, but in the end, I was scolded by you because of a small matter! The anger on Qiao Jiannans face disappeared bit by bit. He sighed and said, Tingyun, I didnt mean it that way. I was just excited. But you cant treat me like that. Ive always treated Qiao Mu as my own daughter, and youve never known how to understand me. Have you ever thought about me? Qiao Jiannans arrogance was instantly extinguished. He gently hugged Yu Tingyun and said, Alright, Tingyun, its my fault. Dont be angry for the sake of my illness. Because of Qiao Mus identity, Qiao Jiannan felt that he had let Yu Tingyun down. As long as Yu Tingyun was wronged, Qiao Jiannan would lose all his confidence. Yu Tingyuny on Qiao Jiannans chest, a cold look shing in her eyes. She said softly, Ill find out what happened. Its a good thing that Mumu is out. Let her go home for a meal and ask her what happened. Alright, Ill listen to you. Qiao Jiannanforted Yu Tingyun. Seeing that Yu Tingyun had calmed down, he thought for a moment and said, Tingyun, Mumu has grown up. I want to transfer some of the shares of the Qiao Corporation to her name as aing-of-age gift. Yu Tingyuns body stiffened. She clenched her fists and suppressed the anger in her voice. Isnt this a little too early? Its not early anymore. Mumu has already celebrated her 18th birthday. Back then, Little Ya had the same thoughts. Now that Little Ya is very capable at work, I want Mumu to start getting involved in thepanys matters. Mumu will enter thepany sooner orter. Its good to have one more person to share the burden. Yu Tingyuns lips twitched. Lets ask Mumu for her opinion first. Good! Qiao Jiannan smiled and nodded. This wife of his had always been so understanding and virtuous that he felt that having such a wife in his life was really worth it! The more she behaved like this, the more Qiao Jiannan felt guilty towards her. After all, he was the one who had done something wrong back then. Qiao Jiannan didnt want the Qiaos Enterprise to be divided equally between his two daughters. He was still on Yu Tingyun and her daughters side and only wanted to give Qiao Mu a small portion of what she deserved. After all, Qiao Mu had a greedy mother, and the entirepany would belong to Yu Tingyun and her daughter in the future. However, Yu Tingyun didnt think so. Qiao Jiannans decision made her feel threatened. Qiao Mu absolutely could not be left alive! Chapter 294 - 294: Long Live Uncle! Chapter 294: Long Live Uncle! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu ended her phone call with Qiao Jiannan. She was toozy to think about how Yu Tingyun knew that she was in the police station. Fortunately, she had called her father in time. Otherwise, her father would have thought that she had done something wrong and locked her up! Qiao Mu did not leave the house for the entire day and obediently listened to Li Yan. She was bored to death in the house. She paced back and forth in the huge living room. The butler stepped forward. Second Young Miss Qiao, Young Master has instructed you to rest more. Its better if you dont walk around too much. Uncle Chen, dont listen to him. Its not like my leg is injured. Its fine to walk. Since Li Yan was not at home, Qiao Mupletely disregarded him. The injury on her back hurt a little, but it was not serious. It was just a cut on the corner of the table. Hearing Qiao Mus disapproving words, the butler could not help butugh. Presumably, she was the only one in this world who dared to go against Young Masters wishes. When Young Master became serious, even Madam could not do anything about it, yet she waspletely restrained by this little girl. Qiao Mu was tired from strolling around, so she sat down on the sofa and looked at the time. It was time for Li Yan to get off work. She took out her phone and sent a message. Li Yan was busy when his phone vibrated. It was a message notification. In the past, he would ignore almost all of these text messages. However, ever since he had the little one, he had developed the habit of looking at his phone at all times. Sometimes, when he saw an advertisement message, he could not help but feel a little disappointed. He turned on his phone and saw a message from the little thing:Uncle, I want to eat durian cake. Li Yans lips curled up. Before he could reply, the little thing sent another message.Theres a dessert shop near thepany. You can buy it there. Li Yans fingers tapped on the keyboard and he quickly replied, Why are you giving me the address? Did I promise to buy it for you? Im a patient, Qiao Mu said. Uncle will be extra considerate. Did you stay at home and rest? Li Yan asked. Of course, I must listen to uncle! Ill agree to your request on ount of your good performance. Long live Little Uncle! Li Yan shook his head helplessly. Looking at the line of words, he could imagine how happy the little thing must be. Li Yan raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He put down his work and turned off theputer. Lei Yi came in to deliver the documents. When he saw the man picking up his clothes and was about to leave, he asked, Young Master, where are you going? Get off work! Lei Yi was stunned. It was rare for Young Master Li to get off work early! However, before Li Yan could leave the office, his phone rang. It was an unknown number. He picked up the phone and immediately heard a roar from the other end.You unfilial son, I asked you to pick me up at the airport. Ive already gotten off the ne. Where are you? Theres a group of people picking me up at the exit, and Im the only one here. Are you trying to anger me to death.. Li Yans brows instantly furrowed. Before the other party could finish speaking, he interrupted, Mom, are you saying that youve returned to the country? Nonsense, Ill give you half an hour to race over! Li Yan was speechless. Li Yan hung up the phone and dialed the overseas number. The call was quickly picked up. His maic voice was slightly anxious. Son, your call came at the right time. Your mother is missing. She threw a tantrum at me and left a note. She ran away from home! Li Yan felt his temples throbbing. He said in a deep voice, Dad, my mom has returned to the country. What did you say? This woman is simply too restless. I was discussing business with a female boss, and she said that I had ulterior motives towards her.. She packed her luggage and left when I wasnt at home! Chapter 295 - 295: Since When Did You Know How to Understand Others? Chapter 295: Since When Did You Know How to Understand Others? Trantor: 549690339 Li Zheng had just finished his angry words when his tone suddenly changed. He asked anxiously, Your mother arrived safely? In order to prevent me from tracking her phone, she didnt even bring her phone with her. From the United States to China, its such a long journey. She has never left me alone. If anything happens Li Yan had no choice but to interrupt him. Dad, my mom is not a child. She has arrived at the airport safely. I cant talk to you anymore. Im going to pick her up. Without waiting for a reply, Li Yan put the phone away and strode out of the office. Lei Yi, who was standing silently at the side, finally understood. It turned out that the young masters mother had returned to the country. There was also a little nephew at home. Now, it was going to be lively! At the airport exit. The woman was wearing a long, elegant beach dress and a sun hat. Herrge sunsses covered half of her face. At a nce, one could not tell her age. Just as the woman looked down at her watch again, a ck Bentley Mulsanne stopped in front of her. The car door opened and Li Yan called out helplessly, Mom, get in the car. You unfilial son, youre finally here. Youre still obedient. Its exactly half an hour. I wont let you off even if youre a minutete! Yu Yiduo said angrily and got into the car. Then, she saw Li Yans furrowed brows and became unhappy. Why? Does your mothers return cause you trouble? Mom, before you do something like running away from home, didnt you consider whether Dad was worried? Yu Yiduo was stunned. She stared at Li Yan for a while and said in surprise, Are you my son? When did you be so understanding? Li Yan was speechless. Yu Yiduo snorted. Lets not talk about that old man. Lets talk about you. I sent you a message, but you didnt see it! What message? I didnt receive it. Li Yans tone was firm. Every time his phone rang, he would immediately check if the message was sent by the little one. Where had he received her message? Yu Yiduo immediately took out her phone. Youre still trying to deny it. I sent it sessfully! Li Yan nced at his phone screen and said calmly, lt was indeed sent sessfully, but I entered the wrong number. Aiya, its true! Son, I wronged you. Its all your fathers fault. I bought a phone card at thest minute, but your number wasnt saved in it. Forget it, I wont hold it against you. As she spoke, Yu Yiduo patted Li Yans shoulderfortingly. Li Yan had a helpless expression on his face. His gaze fell on the dessert shop by the roadside and he said to the driver, Stop the car. The car stopped and Li Yan got out of the car. He went straight into the dessert shop and soon came out with a bag in his hand. Yu Yiduo suddenly felt very warm. After not seeing him for a while, her son had be more and more considerate. He knew that her stomach had been wronged after eating a few meals on the ne, so he bought desserts tofort her. Li Yan got into the car. Yu Yiduo took the bag from Li Yans hand. Before she could say thank you, Li Yan moved the bag to a ce where she could not hook it. Then, Li Yan took out a cake from the bag and handed it to Yu Yiduo. Mom, this is for you. This was for her, so who was the one in the bag for? Yu Yiduos heart sank.. With her high EQ she only needed a second to realize that this dessert wasnt specially bought for her! Chapter 296 - 296: Qiao Mu, This Is My Mother Chapter 296: Qiao Mu, This Is My Mother Trantor: 549690339 Her son had suddenly be so considerate. It was actually taught by another woman! Yu Yiduo opened the box of desserts. A strong aroma wafted over. It was durian cake! In the past, when she was at home, her son would despise her even if she ate a durian. If it werent for her old man protecting her, this heartless son would have thrown her out of the house with the durian! But now, he actually took the initiative to buy her a durian cake! At this moment, in the Li family vi, Qiao Mu was staring at Li Yan with eager eyes. What time was it now? It was long past the time to get off work. She was still waiting for his durian cake! She was a patient now and needed special treatment. Could he give her a call if he didnte back? The sound of a car engine could be heard outside the door. Qiao Mu stood at the door, and as expected, she immediately perked up when she saw the familiar car. Suddenly, she thought of how Baby Guan had pushed Lu Jingzhi into the car in a domineering manner. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely arrogant. She wanted to have one too! Anyway, she was sick. Even if Li Yan was unhappy, he could not do anything to her! It was worth it to be able to act arrogantly in front of Young Master Li and be taught a lesson by him! The car stopped, and the door to the back seat opened. Qiao Mu quickly walked down the steps and aggressively pounced on him. Before Li Yan could react, he pushed Li Yan into the car and stepped on the tire. The series of actions were done in one go! Handsome! Domineering! Qiao Mu was secretly excited as she red at Li Yan coolly. Her fingers were still poking his chest.Why did youe back sote? Do you feel good about letting me wait for you? Aiya! It was too awesome! The way Li Yan was scared out of his wits was simply too exciting! Of course, Qiao Mus so-called shock was just her endless imagination. Li Yan did not expect this little thing to be so enthusiastic as soon as she arrived. It seemed that she had been bored to death at home all day. However, she was getting bolder and bolder by being so arrogant in front of him! He lowered his head and nced at the little thing. With just a cold nce at her, that arrogant aura was extinguished in an instant. After Qiao Mus performance ended, she immediately turned into ackey. She hooked her arms around Li Yans neck and chuckled.Uncle, wasnt I very handsome just now? I just wanted to demonstrate to you how Baby Guan treated Lu Jingzhi that day. Its a pity that you didnt see it with your own eyes! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Ive already experienced it myself. Its not a pity. Qiao Mu giggled foolishly. When she saw the bag of desserts in Li Yans hand, she hugged his neck in surprise. Uncle, youre the best! The little things reaction made Li Yan smile. At this moment, the car door behind her opened and closed. Qiao Mu looked over the mans shoulder and saw aA gorgeously dressed woman! Qiao Mus body instantly stiffened, and the smile on her lips froze on her face. She stared in shock at the woman who got out of Li Yans car! Who was this woman? Why was she sitting in Uncles car and going home with him? Uncle came back sote because of this woman? Qiao Mus mind was filled with question marks and astonishment. In her memory, she had never seen Li Yan give any woman special treatment! Li Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the little woman who was stuck to his body and lost her reaction. He patted her butt helplessly and reminded her, Let go of me first. Qiao Mu was stunned. She immediately let go of him and took a step back. Then. Li Vans voice rang in her ears- 0iao Mil. this is mv motherC Chapter 297 - 297: You Are My Great Aunt Chapter 297: You Are My Great Aunt Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu, this is my mother This is my mother My mother Li Yans words echoed endlessly in Qiao Mus ears. Qiao Mus eyes instantly bulged out of their sockets, not exaggerating at all. She turned her head mechanically to look at the woman who had already walked over. She clearly looked like a young woman. How could she be Li Yans mother? This woman was the Little Red Riding Hood whom she had confronted arrogantly over the phone? Compared to Qiao Mus shock, Yu Yiduo wasnt any better. When she got out of the car, she was initially wondering what Qiao Mu had be, but in the end, she saw a good show! That arrogant and arrogant son of his was pushed against the car by a fierce girl. That scene was really scary! However, before Yu Yiduo could recover from her shock, Qiao Mus expression seemed to have changed. In the blink of an eye, she had changed into apletely obedient girl! Could this be the legendary split personality? Dual personality? Before this, Yu Yiduo didnt expect the two of them to interact like this! Qiao Mu finally recovered from her shock and gave Yu Yiduo a deep bow. She said in a clear and loud voice, Greetings, Grandaunt! Great aunt Yu Yiduos mouth twitched. Even if she wanted to please her, she didnt need to call her grandaunt, right? Li Yan stood at the side and looked at the little things flustered expression. It was rare to see her react like this. His little thing was very cunning and could always deal with things smoothly. However, when she saw her great-aunt, did she have to be so shocked? Qiao Mu looked fearfully at the woman who was wearing sunsses and whose face couldnt be seen clearly. She couldnt see the other partys expression, so she waspletely at a loss. The other party sized her up through the sunsses and only walked up to her after a while. Qiao Mus lips twitched and she smiled awlwardly. Thisdy had offended her over the phone before she even met her. How could she not be nervous? Although she had seen Yu Yiduo when she was young, and in her impression, Yu Yiduo was more than ten million times friendlier than Yu Tingyun and treated her well, after so many years, she only had a vague impression of her. Moreover, things were different now. When they met again, she had be Li Yans woman. If thisdy was angry that she seduced her son, it was normal. However, Qiao Mu still didnt know that this great-aunt of hers was not within the normal range. Yu Yiduo stopped in front of Qiao Mu and lifted her hand to take off her sunsses. Qiao Mu then saw her aloof face clearly. His expressionless face and scrutinizing gaze instantly made Qiao Mu feel a great sense of pressure! As expected, thisdy was not someone to be trifled with! You called me Grandaunt? Yu Yiduo asked lightly. Qiao Mu nodded. Thats right. In terms of seniority, youre my great-aunt! Thats not a good way to address me. It sounds like ttery. Qiao Mu was speechless. Was her ttery that obvious? He had been seen through! Yu Yiduo looked at Qiao Mu disdainfully and asked coldly, Youre Qiao Mu? Yes, great aunt! Qiao Mu couldnt call her Great Aunt too casually! If were talking about seniority, then youre my niece. How did you end up with my son? Yu Yiduo raised her eyebrows and asked in a questioning tone. Get together Was this word really appropriate here? Qiao Mu continued to smile awkwardly. Then you should ask Uncle.. Chapter 298 - 298: The Best Mom Chapter 298: The Best Mom Trantor: 549690339 Following the topic, Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. Why was he standing at the side without saying anything? Shouldnt he help her out when her mother was making things difficult for her? Li Yan didnt reply, so Yu Yiduo continued to ask, 1 want to ask you! Aiya, thisdy is so fierce! Yu Yiduo looked at her ever-changing face and wondered if she was too fierce and scared her. How did she survive in front of her fierce son? Originally, she wanted to have a big battle between mother-inw and daughter-inw, but she did not cooperate! Mom, its about time, Li Yan finally said. Shes still sick. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan received a fierce re from Yu Yiduo. Look at how precious he was. The more he protected her, the more she wanted to cause trouble! Since she was a patient, Yu Yiduo moved the battlefield to the living room. Sitting on the sofa, she arrogantly nced at Qiao Mu and raised her chin. still remember how arrogant you were over the phone thest time! As expected, he remembered! Qiao Mu immediately admitted her mistake. Great Aunt, I was wrong. You cant me me for this. Im helping you keep an eye on Uncle and preventing him from casually dating some random women outside. With me around, those indecent women can forget about getting close to Uncle! Hearing this, Li Yans lips curled up. Yu Yiduo looked at her fair and small face. Perhaps it was because she was sick, but she looked even fairer. She couldnt help but pinch her face. He wanted to continue making things difficult for her, but he really couldnt pretend anymore. If you want me to not be angry, I can forgive you, unless Qiao Mu blinked herrge eyes at her great-aunt. Her great-aunt stood up coldly and walked toward her, causing her to involuntarily stand up as well. Then, she raised her hand and ced it on her face. And thenHe pinched it. Before Qiao Mu could react in a daze, she heard her aunt finish her unfinished sentence If von let me pinch you _ Ill forgive you Qiao Mu was speechless. Youre already doing it, alright? That demonic w was wantonly kneading her face. One hand wasnt enough, so he used both hands! This What was going on? Why did the atmosphere suddenly change? Yu Yiduo pinched it and sighed, Your skin is so supple that it looks like water will ooze out of it with a pinch. Your skin is so good that its full of colloid. Its just like when I was young! Sigh, my skin is drooping now. Looking at your good skin, Im really envious and jealous! Qiao Mu was speechless. Why did she feel like she was going to crush her face? Even though she was being pinched, Qiao Mu could not help but say, Your skin doesnt droop at all. It looks about the same as mine! These words were not ttery. Looking at Yu Yiduo up close, she was really young and beautiful. How could she possibly have a son as old as Li Yan? Not to mention that she was Yu Tingyuns aunt. Yu Tingyun took good care of herself. Compared to Yu Yiduo, Yu Tingyun was miles away! Hearing this, Yu Yiduo was instantly overjoyed. She cupped her cheeks with both hands. Really? Actually, I think so too. I was just being humble just now. Mumu, you really know me too well! . Thisdy was too funny, right? He was still cold just a moment ago, but now he was calling her Mu Mu intimately? Li Yan looked at the little girls pale face that was pinched until it was red. He stepped forward and stood between the two of them. He turned around and said to Yu Yiduo, Mom, you must be tired from the flight. Take a rest first.. Chapter 299 - 299: If You Feel Indignant, Tell Me Chapter 299: If You Feel Indignant, Tell Me Trantor: 549690339 Im not tired. When I saw Mumu, I was instantly energized! Yu Yiduo pushed Li Yan away and pulled Qiao Mu over, taking the opportunity to pinch Qiao Mus face. Li Yan, who was standing at the side, was instantly ignored. Qiao Mu was a little unable to adapt to her great-aunts sudden change. Fortunately, her adaptability was extremely strong, and she became familiar with her great-aunt in a short while. Until the end of dinner, Li Yan was like an outsider. Although it was a good thing that his mother liked the little thing, she liked it a little too much andpletely hindered him! Finally, the man couldnt take it anymore and said, Mom, its already veryte. You should sleep. Aiya, Im not in a hurry. You even have to control your mother. Mumu is so thin that her chest is almost touching her back. It must be because you often bully her and control her too strictly. Youve really wronged our Mumu. As Yu Yiduo spoke, she even lightly patted Qiao Mus shoulder, as if she could empathize with Qiao Mus grievances. Qiao Mus heart instantly warmed up, and the little bit of unfamiliarity she had in her heart instantly vanishedpletely. She felt extremely wronged, but she still shook her head symbolically. Great Aunt, I dont feel wronged Look, you still say you dont feel wronged. You look like youve been suppressed to the point that you dont dare to refute! Yu Yiduo sighed and gently patted Qiao Mus hand. Her heart ached for her. Mumu, Li Yan is just like his father, a hard rock. Youll only suffer if you go head -on with him. If you feel wronged,e and tell me Just when Qiao Mu thought that the empress dowager would reprimand Li Yan for her sake and be her backer, she heard the empress dowagers next words. Although I cant help you with anything, I can apany you and speak ill of him behind his back to help you vent your anger! Qiao Mu was speechless. In an instant, Qiao Mu felt her bodypletely petrified before it began to crumble bit by bit andpletely shatter. Was this really Li Yans biological mother? He did not even dare to teach his own son a lesson. He could only vent his anger by saying bad things behind his back Qiao Mu raised her head to look at the man beside her. Although the man was looking down at his phone, the slight frown on his face revealed his emotions. With such a top-notch mother, Uncles life must be quite interesting, right? However, this mother was clearly so cheerful and lively that everyone loved her. Why was the son she raised so ck-bellied, sinister, and evil? He always had a cold face and did not like to smile. He did not inherit the sunny and cheerful genes at all! Could this be the legendary Chang Can? Li Yan could not stand it anymore and swept his cold gaze over. Mom, you dont need to rest. Your grandniece needs to rest. Shes a patient now. If you dont want to chat with no one tomorrow after chatting for the whole night, then let her sleep early! But its only eight oclock now Yu Yiduo sounded reluctant. Its gettingte. She hasnt taken her medicine yet. As he spoke, Li Yans gaze swept toward Qiao Mu and reminded her, Go upstairs and take your medicine! Qiao Mu replied with an oh and stood up obediently. She said to Yu Yiduo, Im going upstairs to rest first. Ill apany you tomorrow. Go, go, be good! Yu Yiduo looked at Qiao Mus obedient appearance like a little white rabbit, overflowing with love. She couldnt help but want to pounce on Qiao Mu and ravage her little face. Unfortunately, her heartless son did not want her to upy his little rabbit! He really couldnt be kept when he was old! Chapter 300 - 300: Give Birth to a Granddaughter to Play With Chapter 300: Give Birth to a Granddaughter to y With Trantor: 549690339 When Yu Yiduo saw Li Yan stand up, she immediately jumped up and rushed upstairs before him. Son, Ill go check if your nephew is taking his medicine on time! . Mom, you should sleep! Li Yan sounded very unhappy. Yu Yiduo turned around and looked at her son. Sheughed and said, You forgot that I have jetg. I slept the entire flight, so Im not sleepy at all! Qiao Mu had just taken her medicine when she heard a knock on the door. She turned around and saw Yu Yiduo standing at the door. Yu Yiduo went forward and held Qiao Mus hand as she sat down by the bed. Little Mu Mu, you cant sleep, can you? Its okay. Ill chat with you. Its not convenient for Li Yan to be here just now. Now, lets talk about womens private words. Private words 1alK about wnat( Great-aunt Qiao Mu had just opened her mouth when Yu Yiduo interrupted her. Dont call me grandma. This form of address is too awkward. Change it. . Grandma? Just as Qiao Mu finished shouting, Yu Yiduos face was instantly filled with smiles. Her eyes swept across Qiao Mus abdomen. Mu Mu, you really understand my thoughts. How did you know that I want to be a grandmother? The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched fiercely. Why was Yu Yiduos smile so evil? Yu Yiduo started toin, You dont know, but I really like daughters. Back then, I had hoped that I would have a daughter, but I didnt expect to have a boy. I was so disappointed! After that, I wanted to have a daughter, but Sigh, its all tears! Qiao Mus curiosity was instantly piqued, and she subconsciously asked, Whats wrong? Yu Yiduo sighed sadly and said embarrassedly, lm the only one who knows how hard it has been for so many years. Its my regret to not have a daughter in this life. If it werent for Ah Yans fathers poor health, I would have given birth to eight or ten children a long time ago! Qiao Mu was stunned. This great aunt told her such a private matter just like that? Li Yans fatherNo? For a moment, Qiao Mu truly believed it. Then, she heard Yu Yiduo continue, so, Little Mu Mu, youre so cute and beautiful, and my son is so handsome. You and him are a match made in heaven. Why dont you give birth to a granddaughter for me to y with as soon as possible so that I can end my regrets for the rest of my life? y around These words sounded like a henying eggs! Qiao Mu immediately reacted. So this great aunt was deliberately lying to her, and she almost fell for it! How could she have imagined that someone would joke about her husbands privacy! Qiao Mu sighed cooperatively, and her tone was extremely downcast. Great Aunt, you dont know, but actually, your son, he No! Yu Yiduo was still immersed in the grief she had created, but when she heard Qiao Mus words, her eyes widened. How is that possible?! Its true! Is this hereditary? Yu Yiduo was speechless. Outside the door, a certain mans expression was gloomy. His handsome face was tensed up, and his expression was as ugly as it could be! This woman! She was really rebellious. How dare she say such words! He took a step forward and entered the room. His eyes were cold as he sized up the two women who were chatting happily in the room. You guys have a good chat! A frosty voice rang out, causing the two women to freeze. Qiao Mu raised her head to look at the man at the door. His tall figure was leaning against the door frame, and his expression wasnguid.. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but that smile was so cold that it was terrifying! Chapter 301 - 301-Two Days Without Fighting Chapter 301:-Two Days Without Fighting Trantor: 549690339 Finished! Eggs! It was over! What did she just say? She didnt say anything! He definitely didnt hear anything! Thats right! He didnt hear it! Li Yan stared at Qiao Mu for a few seconds before shifting his gaze to Yu Yiduo. He raised his hand and waved the phone in his hand. His voice was cold as he said, Mom, my dad called. I was on speaker just now. Coincidentally, he heard everything you said. Yu Yiduo was shocked. The next second, the mans voice came from the phone, You restless woman, how dare you insult my dignity behind my back? If I dont beat you up in two days, Ill tear apart the roof tiles! Just you wait, Ill fly back immediately to settle the score with you! Running away from home counts! Run away from home? Qiao Mu blinked. So, this great aunt secretly returned to the country? However, what bothered her was that Li Yans fathers temper was really not ordinary! Alright, it would be strange if he didnt get angry after being insulted by his wife! At the thought of this, Qiao Mu nced at a certain man, and her eyes met his icy cold gaze. She immediately shrunk her head and lowered it. Yu Yiduo stared at Li Yan angrily and pointed her finger at him. She mouthed silently, How dare you scheme against your mother! Li Yan raised his eyebrows disapprovingly and ced the phone in Yu Yiduos hand. Yu Yiduo immediately lowered her voice. Hubby, you heard wrong. I didnt say that! You still want to quibble? Do you think that not only is my body not good, but my ears are also broken? If it wasnt for my heartache and reluctance to let you suffer, would the Li family have only one son? Didnt you want to give birth? Alright, its not toote to survive now Yu Yiduos expression changed, but in front of her future daughter-inw, she couldnt lose face. She straightened her back and shouted into the phone, Li, who are you yelling at? I havent forgotten that you went to seduce your business partner. Not only did you not admit your mistake, but you also acted arrogantly in front of me. Do you not want to live a good life anymore? Didnt you say that my body cant do it? Since I cant, how can I seduce others? Yu Yiduos confidence was verycking, and she immediately left the room with her phone. Outside the room, Qiao Mu could faintly hear Yu Yiduos pleading voice. Hubby, calm down. Im not angry with you anymore. Dont be angry either. Im just thinking about the future generations of the Li family. Its worth it to sacrifice your reputation so that the Li family can continue to have descendants Qiao Mu was speechless. She had never expected Li Yans parents to be like this! This was really a family of living treasures! Just as Qiao Mus attention was still on the content of the call, she faintly felt an iceberg beside her begin to melt. The surrounding cold air spread out, and she could not help but shiver. She raised her head timidly and smiled at the cold face. Uncle, your mother is really interesting. His cold eyes narrowed bit by bit. Youre not bad either! Qiao Mu didnt know how to respond. In any case, whatever she said now would be wrong. The mans expression was too frightening! She immediately opened her mouth wide and yawned. Rubbing her eyes, she said pitifully, Uncle, Im sleepy. It seems like the medicine is taking effect. These words were hinting to him that she was sick and injured. Even if he wanted to settle the score with her, he had to let her off on ount that she was a patient! To Qiao Mus surprise, Li Yan did not vent his anger on her.. InsteadHe turned around and walked out! Chapter 302 - 302: The Little Thing’s Dissatisfaction Chapter 302: The Little Things Dissatisfaction Trantor: 549690339 Could it be that this mans self-esteem had been hurt and he did not want to face her anymore? When did he be so vulnerable? Unfortunately, in the next second, Qiao Mu realized that she was indulging in wild fantasies! Li Yan did not step out of the room. Instead, he walked to the door and closed With a click, the door was locked! . What was he trying to do? Was he going to beat her up behind closed doors? Qiao Mu instantly tensed up. Seeing the man approaching her step by step, sheughed dryly. Well, Uncle, your parents seem to be quarreling. Do you want to go over andfort your mother? Li Yans lips curled up coldly. I cant interfere in their matters. I only want to interfere in your matters now! Qiao Mu panicked and involuntarily retreated. The mans lips curled into a faint smile. His sinister and evil appearance was really scary, alright? Suddenly, the smile on his face widened. He lifted his hand and hooked it around her chin, looking at her darkly. Your body cant take it, can it? Qiao Mu only felt her legs go weak and almost fell to her knees. She retreated to the side of the bed and had nowhere to retreat to, so she hurriedly jumped onto the bed and burrowed into the nket. She pulled the nket over her entire body and stared at him with her big eyes. She admitted her mistake without any backbone. Uncle, I was wrong. I didnt do it on purpose. Please dont hold it against me, okay? Li Yanpletely ignored Qiao Mus pleas and walked to the bedside unhurriedly. He leaned closer to her and spoke in a cold and masculine voice, Little thing, I didnt know that you were so dissatisfied with my performance! Qiao Mu shook her head and mumbled with a red face, Uncle, Im very satisfied! Is that so? Satisfied isnt something that can be said with words. Since youre so dissatisfied, I dont mind showing you a good performance. The mans words made Qiao Mu blush. Before she could respond, his tall body pressed against her, not giving her a chance to hesitate. Qiao Mu sensed his seriousness and immediately tensed up. She red at him pitifully and reminded him, My back is injured! This reason was like a gold medal that was thrown out. She thought that he wouldnt be able to do anything to her then. However, the man chuckled disapprovingly. Its okay, then lie down! Qiao Mu was speechless. This beast! She was injured, but he still refused to let her go! Most importantly, his mother was in the room next door. Although their rtionship was ambiguous, was it really okay for them to sleep together openly in front of his great-aunt? Where was her nieces image? Next, Qiao Mu no longer had the energy to think about these things The mans low and hoarse voice rang in her ears.Little thing, is your mans body alright? Qiao Mus face was flushed red. She buried her face in the nket and refused to make a sound, but the mansughter above her head was so mboyant that it was asking for a beating! It seems like I really cant. Dont worry, Ill continue to work hard! .. Work hard your sister! This bastard! At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Qiao Mus body instantly stiffened, scaring Little White so much that it instantly turned from red to white. Outside the door, Yu Yiduos ambiguous voice sounded, Son, Mumu is still sick. You guys should rest early! Li Yans eyes darkened. Was his mother unwilling to see him have a woman? She had to go against him! Yu Yiduo, who was standing outside the door, said to the tightly shut door before returning to her room with satisfaction. Let him scheme against her! She hade over to dy his good things.. When his biological son needed revenge, he had to take revenge! Chapter 303 - 303: You Are A Member Of The Li Family Chapter 303: You Are A Member Of The Li Family Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu felt that she had lost all her face and could no longer face anyone! A certain man seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and did not treat her as a patient at all! She finally realized that a mans dignity could not be hurt! That night, Qiao Mu paid a painful price for saying the wrong thing! The next day, when Qiao Mu went downstairs with her severely injured waist, she saw Yu Yiduo looking at her ambiguously. Qiao Mus small face flushed red. Although she wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, she could not do it! Yu Yiduo smiled slyly and leaned in front of Qiao Mu, whispering, Little Mu Mu, you dont look too good. Did you sleep tootest night? Looks like my sons health is quite good! As she spoke, Yu Yiduo patted Qiao Mus shoulderfortingly. Qiao Mu silently fled into the dining room and buried her head in her meal. Li Yan looked at the little things flushed face and said calmly, Mom, my dad is already on his way back to China. Hell be back to pick you up soon. Yu Yiduo mmed the table hard and said arrogantly, My freedom in life is in my own hands! Li Yan looked up. I thought you didnt likeing back to China? Dont you want to leave? I really dont want toe back. The air here smells ufortable, especially when Im so close to that woman. I cant sleep well at night! Yu Yiduo paused and looked at Qiao Mu. She reached out to pinch Qiao Mus cheek and smiled. However, seeing that she raised my daughter-inw so lovingly, Ill stay here and apany Little Mu Mu! Qiao Mus chopsticks paused. She finally understood that the woman Yu Yiduo was talking about was Yu Tingyun! Looking at Yu Yiduos expression when she mentioned Yu Tingyun, he knew that their conflict was deep! Yu Yiduo saw Qiao Mus dazed reaction, and she was afraid that Qiao Mu would misunderstand, so she immediatelyforted her, Be good, Little Mu Mu. Ive always been a person who makes a clear distinction between kindness and hatred. I wont implicate you. Youre a member of the Li family. You have nothing to do with that Yu guy! Your surname is Yu too. Cough, that seems to be the case! However, after so many years, I have long regarded myself as someone with the surname Li! As Yu Yiduo spoke, she suddenly pulled a long face and red at Qiao Mu warningly. What did I tell you yesterday? He wanted to change the way he addressed her! Youre going to marry into our Li family in the future. If you keep calling me great-aunt, others will think that youre fooling around with my son Mom! Li Yan interrupted her helplessly. Bah! Bah! Bah! What did I say? Dont teach our Little Mu Mu bad things! Qiao Mus face darkened. This great aunt really treated her as her future daughter-inw! However, it was clearly not like that. She nced at Li Yans dark expression. Was he unhappy? After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Mu exined in a low voice, Aunt, actually, Uncle and I are not what you think Li Yans eyes shed coldly when he heard that. He raised his head slightly and looked at the little thing who was about to exin. This mouth that needed to be taught a lesson. If he didnt say something that angered him, he wouldnt be at ease! Yu Yiduo was an experienced person. Seeing the expressions of the two, she immediately understood what was going on. After all, Li Yan was her biological son. She knew her sons character very well. He was cold and aloof, but he only knew how to act cool. Back then, when Little Mu Mu was especially warm to him, he had always looked indifferent.. Now, he had not improved at all! Chapter 304 - 304: I’ll Protect Your Woman! Chapter 304: Ill Protect Your Woman! Trantor: 549690339 Little Mu Mu, what if its not what I think? Yu Yiduoughed. Alright, I understand. Dont exin. An exnation is a cover-up! Qiao Mu was helpless. Yu Yiduo had misunderstood her rtionship with Li Yan. They were not at the stage where they were talking about marriage, but Yu Yiduos attitude made her speechless. It was a fact that she was living with Li Yan now. No matter how much she exined, it would not be clear. Alright, Yu Yiduo continued, I told you to change the way you address me, but you didnt listen. You kept calling me grandma. Am I that old? If you cant, just call me Mom. Its just a matter of time! Qiao Mu almost choked on Yu Yiduos words. She coughed lightly and still called out, Auntie. Although Yu Yiduo was disappointed, she quicklyforted herself. Anyway, calling her mom was just a matter of time! After the meal, Qiao Mus phone rang. It was a call from Yu Tingyun. Her expression turned cold. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the pnone ana s, Hello. Yu Tingyuns voice came from the phone. Qiao Mu,e home for dinner tonight. I have something to do and wont be returning It was your father who asked me to contact you. You should give him an exnation about you being sent to the police station! Qiao Mu could only agree. After hanging up, Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. Uncle, Im going home today. Li Yan nodded and said calmly, Go early ande back early. . Alright, its the early return again! Ill go home with Mumu! Yu Yiduo stood up immediately. Li Yan frowned. Mom, you dont have to see her. What are you afraid of? She needs my sons help in her business now. Am I afraid that she will bully me like before? Yu Yiduo patted her chest arrogantly. Dont worry, leave your woman to me. Ill protect her! Qiao Mu didnt know whether tough or cry. When Yu Yiduo said that she was bullied by Yu Tingyun, Qiao Mu was momentarily surprised, but she quickly calmed down. Yu Tingyun was definitely capable of doing such a thing! Although Yu Yiduo was Yu Tingyuns aunt, the two of them were about the same age. Moreover, Yu Yiduo was so carefree and innocent. A hypocritical woman like Yu Tingyun would do anything! When Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo arrived at the Qiao familys residence, Yu Tingyun was the only one at home. On weekdays, Yu Tingyun was sitting in the living room and reading documents. It was obvious that she had deliberately stayed at home to wait for someone! Hearing the door open, Yu Tingyun put down her documents and stood up. Just as she was about to say something, a light voice came from the door. After so long, I didnt expect the decorations in the Qiao familys vi to not change at all. Its still so Shabby! Yu Tingyuns body stiffened. She turned to look at the person in disbelief. Her pupils constricted, and the shock in her eyes turned into disgust! Yu Yiduo looked around the room and her eyes fell on Yu Tingyun. Why are you so surprised to see me? Yu Tingyun smiled. Auntie, when did youe back? Dont call me aunt. I dont have a niece older than me. Yu Yiduo looked disgusted. Ive been away for ten years. I shoulde back and see how miserable some people are now! Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh when she saw Yu Tingyuns extremely ugly expression. She secretly gave her a thumbs up. This great aunt was simply too awesome! 120 likes! Qiao Mu finally understood that Li Yan had inherited his venomous tongue from his mother! Although it wasnt very convincing to say that Yu Tingyun was down and out, it was undeniable when it came from Yu Yiduo.. Chapter 305 - 305: Yu Tingyun I s Bane Chapter 305: Yu Tingyun I s Bane Trantor: 549690339 No matter how glorious Yu Tingyun was, she was nothingpared to Yu Yiduo. On the surface, Yu Yiduo had a husband who loved her and a son who was so powerful that no one couldpare to her. She was in her forties, but she still had the innocence of a twenty-year-old girl. No matter what, she was the envy of all women! Yu Tingyun worked so hard to be a strong woman and protect her image as a good wife and mother. She was so insidious and hypocritical that people hated her. She also had a disappointing daughter. Compared to her, the difference was like heaven and earth! Yu Yiduo came prepared, but Yu Tingyun was caught off guard and was shocked by Yu Yiduos appearance. Thinking of the woman who was bullied and chased out of the Yu family back then, she was now so glorious that she was jealous. The anger in her heart could not be suppressed! Although the Li family was very powerful ten years ago, there was only Li Zheng at that time. If the Li family wanted topete with the Qiao and Yu families, they might not have much of an advantage. At that time, Li Yan had only just revealed his edge, but nowThings were really different now! Yu Tingyun knew what was most important at the moment. She couldnt offend Yu Yiduo! Suppressing her anger, Yu Tingyun smiled and said, Auntie, look at what youre saying. Although were about the same age, ording to seniority, I should call you Auntie. I was young and insensible in the past. Please forgive me. Heh, you were still young when you were thirty. Youre indeed insensible. It seems that myte brother didnt teach you well. I cant me him. He didnt teach himself well, so its normal for his daughter to be unable to teach well. Yu Yiduo smiled and said those infuriating words. My father has already passed away. Why are you targeting him? Yu Tingyuns face instantly turned ashen, and her face tensed up. She turned her gaze to Qiao Mu and asked with a gloomy expression, Qiao Mu, why did youe back with auntie? Just as Qiao Mu was about to speak, Yu Yiduo beat her to it and said, We met at the door. When I saw her back, I thought that this girl was your daughter. But when I saw her beautiful face, I was sure that she was definitely not your daughter. How could you have such a beautiful daughter? Qiao Mu was speechless. These words were really vicious! However, it was too moving! It was so pleasant that Yu Tingyuns face turned red with anger! This was Yu Tingyuns nemesis! Yu Yiduo sat down on the sofa leisurely, not intending to leave. Yu Tingyuns expression was ugly, but she couldnt chase him away. Looking at Qiao Mu, Yu Tingyun said coldly, Qiao Mu,e upstairs with me. I have something to tell you. She wanted to make it clear to Qiao Mu before Qiao Jiannan returned home that she absolutely would not allow Qiao Mu to obtain the Qiao Corporations shares! Qiao Mu nced at Yu Yiduo and indifferently said, Aunt Yun, there are guests at home. Its not good for us to go upstairs like this, right? I have something important to tell you! But I have nothing important to tell you. Qiao Mu refused without giving him any face. Yu Tingyun clenched her fists. She couldnt let Yu Yiduo see her dirtyundry! Yu Tingyun was furious when she saw Yu Yiduos thick skin and refusal to leave. This woman was still the same as before. She was an eyesore! Yu Tingyun already hated Qiao Mu for being alone at home, and now that Yu Yiduo was here, she was so angry that she wanted to go crazy! In contrast to Yu Tingyuns anger, Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened and looked down at their phones. Chapter 306 - 306: Cute Aunt Chapter 306: Cute Aunt Trantor: 549690339 She looked up at Yu Yiduo. She didnt look at her, so she added her as a friend. Just as he passed, he received a message. Little Red Riding Hood: Mumu, your stepmother looks terrible. I feel so happy to see her like this! Aunty, Blockhead said, I really admire you for making Yu Tingyun so angry! Its nothing! After my verification, your rtionship with her is indeed very bad. Im relieved now. Shes indeed a member of the Li family! Qiao Mu was speechless. On the other side, Yu Yiduo was gloating over Qiao Mus misfortune, making Qiao Mu not know whether tough or cry. Then, he looked at Yu Tingyun, whose face was as ugly as it could get. Qiao Mu lowered her head and sent a message. Auntie, Yu Tingyun looks like she wants to chase me away. Little Red Riding Hood: She wouldnt dare. She has a favor to ask of my son. Even if shes angry, she has to endure it! I cant leave. I promised my son that I would protect his woman! The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. This great aunt was really too adorable! Yu Yiduo really wanted to brag to Yu Tingyun that Qiao Mu was her future daughter-inw, but unfortunately, she couldnt say it now! What a pity! Yu Tingyun didnt like such a cute little girl. She really didnt know her ce! Thinking about it, it made sense. Yu Tingyun was a disgusting woman, and anyone she liked was equally disgusting! Yu Tingyun couldnt help but find a topic. Auntie, we havent contacted each other all these years. How have you been? Yu Yiduo saidzily, Its alright. I just eat, drink, and have fun all day. My husband and son can make money, but they dont need me. All I can do is spend money. Unlike you, you only know how to make money. Youre a sessful woman. Youre better than me in everything since you were young. Yu Enterprise is really thriving under your management! After Yu Yiduo finished speaking, the smile on Yu Tingyuns face disappeared and her lips sank. These words sounded like praise, but they were bragging and mocking! For a woman, who wouldnt want to find a husband to dote on and enjoy the good times every day? Even if Yu Tingyun liked to be a strong woman, Yu Enterprises current situation was not good at all. Otherwise, she wouldnt have thought of ways to cooperate with Li Enterprise! Although Yu Tingyun had tried her best to prevent Yu Yiduo from inheriting Yu Enterprise, she still managed to get a portion of the shares. She received dividends every year, so she knew that Yu Enterprise had been going downhill for the past two years! If it wasnt for the Qiao Corporation, who knew what Yu Corporation would have be! Right at this moment, Qiao Mu indifferently echoed, Thats right, Auntie. You also think that Aunt Yun is very powerful, dont you? Aunt Yun is more capable than any man. Shes my fathers right-hand man. Whether its work or life, she takes care of it very well! More capable than a manA right-hand man It was really ironic to use these two words on a woman! Yu Tingyun was so angry that she almost wanted to curse at him without caring about her image! Suddenly, Yu Yiduos phone rang. She answered the call and called out, Hubby. Yu Yiduo was shocked by what the person on the other end of the phone said. Youve arrived at the capitals airport? Alright, alright, Ill pick you up immediately! When Li Zheng returned, Yu Yiduo had no choice but to retreat. As soon as Yu Yiduo left, Yu Tingyuns expression changed without any concealment, and she shifted all her anger onto Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, youre really something. Youre already speaking up for Yu Yiduo the moment you saw her. Do you think you can get close to Li Yan by sucking up to her? Dont forget that when I asked you to lure Li Yan, he didnt take the bait at all! [Todays update is over.. Well continue tomorrow Girls, move your fingers and give me five points of praise Chapter 307 - 307: Go or Not Go! Chapter 307: Go or Not Go! Trantor: 549690339 Looking at Yu Tingyuns disgusting face, Qiao Mu really wanted tough. Aunt Yun, its fine if you hate me, but you cant even ept your own aunt. Dont you think youre very pitiful? Qiao Mu! Yu Tingyun was so angry that her chest heaved up and down as she red fiercely at Qiao Mu. Her virtuous image had long vanished. She picked up a document from the coffee table and threw it in front of Qiao Mu. Sign this contract! Contract? Qiao Mus eyes turned cold. Whats this? I want you to reach an agreement with me. You cant take away a single part of the Qiao familys assets! Qiao Mu looked as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world and found it extremelyughable. The Qiao family belongs to my father. Regardless of whether I want the family assets or not, why should I reach an agreement with you? Even if you want me to agree, isnt your attitude too bad? Is this the attitude you have when you ask for help? Beg you? Qiao Mu, you owe me this. For so many years, you, an illegitimate daughter, ruined my originally happy life. If you have a conscience, dont even think about taking a single cent from the Qiao family! Qiao Mu smiled coldly and picked up the document on the coffee table. Without even looking at the contents, she tore the document into two! Yu Tingyuns face turned ashen following Qiao Mus actions! Qiao Mu, you really dont know whats good for you! Yu Tingyun took a deep breath and said, I know you applied for an exchange student at school. Since you want to leave, Ill grant your wish, but you dont appreciate it! Qiao Mus pupils constricted. Yu Tingyun actually found out about this! Yu Tingyun continued, This contract allows you to give up the Qiao familys assets, but I can give you a sum of money. As long as your exchange student quota is approved, you can live in Hong Kong with this money until you graduate. After you graduate, if you need it, I can find you a job in Hong Kong. Isnt that what you want? As long as you leave the Qiao family, I can help you with anything! So that was how it was! Yu Tingyun couldnt wait for her to leave. This was too beneficial for Yu Tingyun! Qiao Mu had never thought of fighting over anything, but it was one thing for her to be willing, and another for others to force her! Qiao Mu turned around and walked upstairs, coldly saying, Dont even think about interfering in my life! What do you mean? You dont want to leave? Yu Tingyun roared at Qiao Mus back. Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks. Ignoring Yu Tingyun, she went straight upstairs. Yu Tingyun stared at Qiao Mus back with a twisted expression. She gritted her teeth and took out her phone to call her assistant.Go and do something for me Inside the room, Qiao Mu leaned against the door and looked up at the ceiling. For so many years, she had been bullied by Yu Tingyun and her daughter in the Qiao family. All she wanted was to leave the Qiao family and live her own life when she grew up! He was determined to leave, but why did he feel so emotional when he heard Yu Tingyuns question, You dont want to leave? Facing this question, she really hesitated! Her phone rang, and Qiao Mu sighed. She turned on her phone and froze when she saw the message. The message was from Han Su. It was a simple sentence: Mu Mu, congrattions. The results of your application are out. Youve received an exchange student spot! This was really adding to the chaos, and it had to be at this time! She had not figured out what she was thinking just now, but at this moment, she received such a definite result! Before this, she had thought that if she could not get the spot, she would not be able to leave even if she wanted to! However, there was no maybe! At this moment, she only had one problem:Run, or not run! Even if he wanted to, he didnt want to! Chapter 308 - 308: There Are No ‘If’s Chapter 308: There Are No Ifs Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu gripped her phone tightly. She didnt know how to respond to that message, so she decided not to reply. Shey on the bed, her heart felt like it was being crushed by a huge stone, so heavy that she couldnt breathe. She never thought that one day, she would hesitate to leave the Qiao family! Her phone rang. Qiao Mu picked up a pillow and buried her head in it, not wanting to bother with the phone. However, it seemed that the other party was deliberately going against her and kept ringing. She impatiently took out her phone from her pocket and answered the call without looking at it. Who is it?! he asked in a very unpleasant tone. After she finished speaking, the other party did not say anything. This made her frown Im hanging up if you dont say anything! she said with her eyes closed. Just as Qiao Mu was about to lose her patience, she heard a low and maic voice from the other end of the phone. I havent seen you in two hours. Your temper has gotten worse. Qiao Mus body stiffened, and she abruptly raised her head to look at the caller ID. It was indeed Li Yan! F * ck! Why did he have such a bad attitude towards Li Yan? Qiao Mu immediatelyughed dryly. Uncle, I was just about to catch up on sleep, so I didnt see the caller ID, so I didnt know it was you. You should really catch up on your sleep. Come back early after you catch up on your sleep. The mans voice carried a hint of a smile, and his tone was extremely ambiguous. When Qiao Mu heard it, she couldnt help but blush and her heart beat faster. This man was always so indecent. Every word he said was full of hints! However, she gradually got used to him being like this. Compared to his fierce attitude towards her, she preferred him being like this. Qiao Mu realized that Li Yans attitude toward her had unknowingly improved a lot! In the beginning, she was only cautious and cautious towards him. She was careful not to anger him. Slowly, she would asionally be willful in front of him. When he was angry, the timidity in her heart was not so deep. Their rtionship was constantly changing! Just now, Li Yans words of e back early had made her heavy heart even heavier! She took a deep breath and asked nervously, Uncle, what if I donte back? Not going back? Li Yans tone still carried a faint smile. In an instant, his voice became softer. Do you think Ill give you this chance? Qiao Mus heart tightened. This answer was within her expectations. To Li Yan, everything was in his hands. She was just a small character. How could she escape from his control? However, she still insisted, 1 mean, what if I have this chance? What will happen to Uncle? Qiao Mu really wanted to know how Li Yan would react if she really left. There was no sound from the other side, which made Qiao Mu even more nervous. Her heart beat faster, and in the next second, the mans voice rang out. There were only four words, and they were filled with a cold chill. There are no ifs! There were no ifsHis firm words shattered all of Qiao Mus imaginations! The mans voice rang out immediately after. Little thing, why are you suddenly asking this question? What are you thinking? No! Qiao Mu immediately denied it without thinking. Even through the phone, she could feel the coldness emanating from the man opposite her. Hmph! Li Yan snorted coldly.. That better be the case! However, even if you have any thoughts, I will crush them for you! Chapter 309 - 309: She Had Been Planning to Leave! Chapter 309: She Had Been nning to Leave! Trantor: 549690339 After being warned by Li Yan, Qiao Mu became even more frustrated. After hanging up the phone, she was in a daze. A voice in her heart said,Qiao Mu, admit it. You dont want to leave at all! Qiao Mu knocked hard on the bed surface and sighed. Her mind was a mess as shey on the bed. Feeling sleepy, she unknowingly fell asleep. After an unknown period of time, Qiao Mu was awakened by a knock on the door. Outside the room, there was amotion as a servant shouted from outside, Second Miss, something happened to Sir! Qiao Mu abruptly opened her eyes and stared nkly in the direction of the door. She was unsure if she was dreaming or if she was actually listening to reality. Then, the voice outside the door sounded again, repeating the same content.Second Miss, something happened to Sir! Qiao Mu immediately got off the bed and rushed to the door. She opened it and asked, What happened to my dad? Sir was in a car ident. His high blood pressure acted up and hes in the hospital. The servant said nervously. Qiao Mus eyes widened, and her legs went weak as she held onto the door frame. Is my father alright? Its just a small car ident. Its not serious, but he didnt take his medicine in time for high blood pressure, so he was hospitalized. Madam has already rushed over Qiao Mu didnt have time to finish listening and immediately rushed out of the room. On the way, Qiao Mu clenched her fists nervously. In the Qiao family, she only had her father as a rtive. She had always thought that her father was in his prime, and she had never thought that anything would happen to him! Qiao Mu rushed to the hospital. When she saw that Qiao Jiannan was not injured and was lying on the hospital bed, chatting with Yu Tingyun, her anxious heart finally rxed. When Qiao Jiannan saw Qiao Mu, he smiled and waved at her. Mumu, youre here. Look at how pale your little face is. You must have been frightened by me, right? Qiao Mu took a step forward. Daddy, how did you get into a car ident?! Didnt Uncle Li, Daddys chauffeur, have twenty years of driving experience? Why are you driving so carelessly! You cant me Old Li. A car suddenly crashed into me, but fortunately, it braked in time. My arm was hit, but its not serious. Its just that my blood pressure rose and I didnt find any medicine. Sigh, this is how old people are! Qiao Mus heart ached when she saw Qiao Jiannans dissatisfied frown. She could not help but say, Daddy isnt old. Hes still young! Jiannan, have you called the police? Yu Tingyun asked. The other party is driving so carelessly. He might be drunk driving! At this time of the evening, I dont think it was drunk driving. I called the police, but Old Li saw that the other partys car didnt have a license te. He ran away without stopping after hitting someone. It seems like he deliberately came to hit me. Qiao Mu frowned.Daddy, we must get to the bottom of this matter. Yu Tingyun nonchntly changed the topic and said to Qiao Mu, You can go back first. Ill stay behind to take care of your father tonight. Aunt Yun, let me stay. No need. Your father is used to me taking care of him. She absolutely would not let Qiao Jiannan and Qiao Mu be alone, nor would she give Qiao Mu any chance to peep at the Qiao familys assets! Qiao Mu apanied Qiao Jiannan in the hospital for a while before leaving. When she returned to the Qiao familys residence, the sky was already dark. When he passed by the Li familys vi, the lights were still bright. He thought about how Yu Yiduo said that she was going to pick up Li Yans father at the airport in the afternoon. The family of three must be reunited at this moment! At the same time, in the Abundance of Gold and Jade Hotel, four men were eating and talking about foreign business. Big brother, when I went to check on our goods, I happened to find a big secret. Im sure youll be interested! Ling Xi smiled.. Chapter 310 - 310: She Had Been Planning to Leave! Chapter 310: She Had Been nning to Leave! Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan nced at Ling Xi. Before he could ask, Ling Xi said impatiently, lts rted to the Yu Corporation! The cosmetics under the Yu Corporation are shipped back from abroad through smuggling channels. The volume of goods is not just ordinary! Lu Jingzhi sneered. Yu Tingyun is really bold. How dare she evade taxes! Why dont you take a look at your own ability? You dont have the ability to deal with the aftermath, but you still dare to y with fire! It seems that Yu Tingyun has nowhere else to go. The Yu Corporation is just a shell on the surface. It will fall apart with a slight touch. As Su Chen spoke, he looked at Li Yan. Big Brother, Uncle and Auntie have returned to the country. Are you prepared to make a move on the Yu Corporation? Li Yan smirked coldly. Do we need to prepare to deal with Yu Tingyun? I didnt do anything because I wanted to give her more time to struggle on at deaths door. I want to see what she can do when she has no other way out! It was too easy to make her lose everything. What he wanted was to let Yu Tingyun slowly enjoy the feeling of losing something! Looks like the Yu family will soon change hands. After Ling Xi finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and immediately changed his words, said the wrong thing. It should be returned to its original owner! Su Chen looked at Li Yan and asked with a smile, Big Brother, why didnt you bring your little nephew here today? Have you been getting along well with your little nephew recently? Li Yan raised his eyes and nced at Su Chen. When did you be so nosy? Su Chen shrugged. Im just asking. It seemed like this man was still unaware of Qiao Mus entry. Forget it. He did not want to interfere in their matters. On the way back after the dinner, Li Yan was wondering if Qiao Mu had returned from the Qiao family when he received a message from her. Uncle, my father is hospitalized. I have to stay at home tonight and wait for the letter. I cant go back. Li Yan immediately dialed the number, and Qiao Mu quickly picked it up. Uncle, did you see my message? Yes. When are youing back? Li Yan replied calmly. The man spoke so naturally, as if the Li family was her home. Uncle, your parents are back. Its not good for me to stay at your house, right? They dont live at home. Huh? My mom doesnt like to live here. She lives in another ce with my dad. Qiao Mu entered the bathroom to fill up the bathtub as she listened to the call. Just as she was about to say something, her hand suddenly slipped and her phone fell to the tiled floor. Shocked, she quickly picked up the phone. Then, she saw that the phone screen was covered in spiderweb-like cracks. The screen had shattered! She had smashed the phone that Li Yan had lent her! The call continued, and a mans voice came from the phone.Whats wrong? Whats that sound? Qiao Mu was on the verge of tears as she mumbled pitifully, Uncle, I made a mistake. Please forgive me! Hmm? The soft voice on the other end made Li Yan have the urge to appear in front of her. This little thing really knew how to seduce people! I just smashed my phone screen, Qiao Mu said nervously. But you cant me me. I was too engrossed in talking to you and identally fell to the ground. So, can you not let me pay? She couldnt afford it! The corner of Li Yans eyes twitched. This little thing really made him helpless! When he gave her the phone, he had casually said that he was lending it to her. She had really thought that he would make her pay for it! Even if she wasnt in front of him, he could imagine how pitiful she looked with her face scrunched up. He sighed helplessly and lowered his voice, You dont have to pay for it. Bring me the phone tomorrow. Ill get someone to fix it. Okay, thank you, Uncle.. Youre so nice! Chapter 311 - 311: She Had Been Planning to Leave! Chapter 311: She Had Been nning to Leave! Trantor: 549690339 The next day, Qiao Mu woke up early in the morning and headed to the hospital with the soup that the nanny had made. She calcted the time and rushed out before Li Yan went to work. She could just hitch a ride. Just as she left the house, she saw Li Yans car drive out. She waved at the car and it stopped. She quickly got into the car. Li Yan looked at the thermos box in her hand and asked, Go to the hospital? Qiao Mu nodded and took out her phone from her pocket. She handed it to Li Yan. Uncle, phone. Li Yan looked at the broken phone screen and then at the little one who was smiling foolishly. She looked like she had done something wrong and he could not help but want tough. Qiao Mu did not sleep well that night. After sitting beside Li Yan for a while, she felt her eyelids grow heavy. She tilted her head and fell asleep. Looking at the little things tilted head in the air, Li Yan pressed her head on his shoulder, and the corners of his mouth curled up. The car stopped outside the hospital, and Qiao Mu woke up in a daze. She rubbed her eyes and mumbled sleepily, Were here? Li Yan nodded and reminded him, 1 didnt bring my phone with me today. Go home early. I understand, Uncle. Ill go in first. Qiao Mu got out of the car and waved goodbye before leaving, quickly entering the hospital. In the hospitals inpatient department, Yu Tingyun was standing in front of the window when she identally saw Qiao Mu alighting from a car. Her expression instantly changed. That car belonged to Li Yan! This Qiao Mu is really shameless. Shes as despicable as her mother! After Qiao Mu went upstairs, Yu Tingyun blocked her at the door of the ward and said sarcastically, Qiao Mu, youre quite resourceful. Youve already gotten into Li Yans car. Are you going to sleep with him next? Qiao Mus expression darkened. Since she saw him, she couldnt be bothered to exin. Didnt you think that Li Yan wouldnt fall for my trap? Then why are you so nervous? Me? Nervous? What a joke! Qiao Mu, Li Yan isnt someone you can mess with. Im just waiting to see your show! Yu Tingyuns face was as ugly as it could get. Qiao Mu felt nauseous just by looking at her, so she carried the thermos into the ward. After Li Yan arrived at thepany, he ced Qiao Mus phone on the table and dialed the internal line. Qiao Mus phone suddenly rang. It was a message notification. Li Yan picked it up and opened WeChat. The text message was from Chi Xia. It was an unimportant message. Just as Li Yan was about to put down his phone, he identally saw Han Sus name in the chat history. His long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his slender fingers opened Han Sus chat log. The moment he saw the chat log, his eyes shed with a cold light. The call connected, and Lei Yi said, President, you were looking for me? Li Yan did not seem to have heard Lei Yis voice. He stared at the chat log and clenched his fist. The veins on the back of his hand bulged. On the screen was a message from 1C1an Su: Mu Mu, congrattions. The results of your application are out. Youve received an exchange student spot! Exchange student? This was thest message! The date was yesterday! Li Yan instantly understood the ins and outs of the matter! Every word on the screen was enough to make Li Yans anger reach its peak! The little thing who had been obediently by his side had actually nned to leave long ago! She had been secretly nning to leave, and even the internship was part of her n! At the thought of this, Li Yan pursed his lips tightly.. His face was filled with anger! Chapter 312 - 312: She Had Been Planning to Leave (4) Chapter 312: She Had Been nning to Leave (4) Trantor: 549690339 Lei Yi didnt get a response and asked, President? Are you there? Li Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the ups and downs in his heart. He said coldly, Find out the exchange student quota for T University immediately! Lei Yi did as he was told and did not hang up the call. Soon, Lei Yi replied with a cautious voice, President, Miss Qiao is one of the exchange students at T University. She has applied to be an exchange student at the University of Hong Kong for a year. After a year, she can apply to enroll in that school. After Lei Yi finished speaking, the other end of the phone fell silent again. He could feel the faint chill even through the phone. Suddenly, a lowugh came from the other end of the phone. Theughter was so cold that even Lei Yi, who was already used to this mans temper, could not help but shiver when he heard thisugh. This man was really angry! The cold voice said word by word, Cancel the quota! Yes, CEO! Li Yan held Qiao Mus phone, and the joints of his fingers bulged. He could faintly hear the cracks on the phone screen getting worse. After a while, his lips curled up coldly. There was a hint of mockery in his cold smile. He actually thought that woman was willing to be with him! Little did he know that she had been plotting how to leave without him knowing! Very good! Qiao Mu, you heartless woman! After Qiao Mu left the hospital, she made a trip to the school. After the schools anniversary celebration ended, the number of people returning to school gradually increased. School was about to start. The two-month holiday would pass in the blink of an eye. If she wanted to be an exchange student, she would have to register at a university in Hong Kong before school started. For the past two days, she had been having a headache over this matter. Was it so difficult to decide whether to leave or not? Standing under the scorching sun, Qiao Mu suddenly felt that she had never been so indecisive before. Didnt she just want to get rid of Yu Tingyun? She had been in the Qiao family for thirteen years. Could it be that she couldntst three years? As long as she waited for another three years, she would be able to live a free life after graduation! Moreover, she still had Li Yan! Her uncle Qiao Mu made a decision in her heart. She was about to call Han Su when she remembered that Li Yan had her phone. After figuring things out, Qiao Mu instantly felt relieved. When she returned to Li Yan, she watched television while waiting for him to return. He waited until night fell. After Li Yan entered, Qiao Mu immediately went up to him. Uncle Li Yans cold gaze was fixed on Qiao Mu. His tone was dark as he interrupted Qiao Mu, Why are you here? Qiao Mu was stunned. She smiled. Im back now that everythings settled at home. Li Yan changed his shoes expressionlessly, took off his coat, and strode upstairs. The mans cold attitude stunned Qiao Mu. She stared nkly at the tall figure and quickly followed him. When Qiao Mu entered the room, Li Yan had already changed into his pajamas. The man stood there, and his entire being was shrouded in a gloomy aura, making people not dare to approach him. He was clearly fine during the day. Could it be that something bad happened at work? Qiao Mu took a step forward, and her gaze fell on the phone that popped out of his pocket after he took off his pants. She asked in a low voice, Uncle, is my phone fixed? Upon hearing this, Li Yan looked up at Qiao Mu. She had a smile on her face, and she looked extremely obedient. This look deeply stung his eyes. Was she used to putting on such a fawning expression in front of him? She looked so obedient that he thought everything was real! Chapter 313 - 313: She Had Been Planning to Leave! Chapter 313: She Had Been nning to Leave! Trantor: 549690339 The corners of Li Yans lips sank slightly as he threw his phone onto the bed without saying a word. Qiao Mu picked up her phone and realized that the screen was still broken. She said in surprise, Uncle, why is the phone Before he could finish, his words were stuck in his throat. She swiped open her phone and saw Han Sus WeChat chat page on the screen! Qiao Mus body instantly stiffened, and a hint of uneasiness shed in her eyes. She looked at Li Yan in panic, but her eyes met the mans cold and stern gaze. Li Yan took in her panic. His dark eyes narrowed coldly, and his sharp eyes became even gloomier. Li Yan took a step forward and held her chin. Do you have anything to say? Qiao Mu bit her lip. Facing the mans straightforward questioning, she did not know how to exin herself. She opened her mouth, and her voice was a little anxious. Uncle, listen to me first. Good! Tell me! The mans malicious eyes were sharp and deep, and Qiao Mu panicked from his stare. Just as she was thinking about how to exin herself, she heard the man chuckle. Hisughter was dark and sinister, and his voice suddenly sank. Why? You have nothing to say? The smile on the mans face disappeared. His voice was bone-chilling and full of sarcasm. Thats true! What can you say? Tell me how you nned this. From the start of your internship, no, perhaps even earlier, youve been preparing to leave. Finally, your n seeded, right? Qiao Mu bit her lip tightly. She wanted to shake her head, but this was indeed her n before this. She nned to prepare everything without him knowing and leave without him Imowing. This was her n! But Who knew that the moment the n seeded, she would actually go back on her word! Meeting that pair of malicious eyes, Qiao Mu denied with a pale face, No, uncle, its not like that No? The mans eyes were instantly filled with anger. Not what? Qiao Mu, you still want to deny it at this point? Do you think Im as stupid as a fool and still believe you? Ha! You were never willing to be with me from the beginning. For the sake of your n, you were willing to sacrifice yourself to please me. Youve always treated being with me as a deal! The mans words were like a sharp sword that stabbed deeply into Qiao Mus heart, making her suffocate. Without giving her a chance to catch her breath, hisrge hand grabbed her chin and forced her to look him in the eye. Qiao Mu, youre a heartless woman! Qiao Mus heart skipped a beat. The mans gloomy eyes were filled with anger, and there was a kind of emotion that she could not understand in his deep, pitch-ck eyes, as well as something that was difficult to detect Disappointed. Qiao Mu looked at him in astonishment and felt suffocated. She clearly had a lot of things to exin, but she did not know how to start. All of this was caused by her! Qiao Mus silence caused Li Yans eyes to slowly turn silent. The anger in his heart had been suppressed for an entire day until now, and it almost burned his body. He tightened his grip on her chin, bent down, and kissed her on the lips. Rather than a kiss, it was more like a bite. With violent anger, he almost swallowed the woman in front of him! Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock. Pain filled her entire body, making her flustered and at a loss. She pressed her hands against his chest and subconsciously wanted to push him away. However, this struggle only angered the angry man. The current Li Yan made Qiao Mu feel extremely terrifying and unfamiliar.. Chapter 314 - 314: Completely Cutting Off Your Thoughts of Leaving (1) Chapter 314: Completely Cutting Off Your Thoughts of Leaving (1) Trantor: 549690339 Even though he had lost control in the past, he had never been like a wild beast at this moment. He could not feel a trace of rationality at all! The pain on her lips quickly disappeared, and soon after, she felt a sharp pain in her neck. Qiao Mu let out a low cry and struggled even harder. Qiao Mu knew what was going to happen next because of a simr experience in the past. She couldnt help but tremble when she recalled the experience of being hurt by him. She pushed him hard. This resistance made the man even angrier. He grabbed her head again and kissed her fiercely. Qiao Mu opened her mouth and forcefully bit down on his tongue. Not only did she fail to stop the man from continuing, she even made him more agitated. The stench of blood spread in the air. Li Yan felt like he was about to go crazy from anger. He kissed the woman in his arms fiercely, and blood filled his mouth. He paused and met Qiao Mus frightened and panicked gaze. His heart tightened. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, and it was so oppressive that he could not breathe. Li Yan narrowed his eyes when he saw the trace of blood on her lips. He finally let go of her. Without his support, Qiao Mu felt all her strength being sucked away, and her legs went weak as she fell to the side of the bed. She panted heavily, trying to dispel the fear in her heart. The man beside her stood quietly at the side, making her unable to suppress the nervousness in her heart. Li Yan felt as if a handful of sand was stirring in his chest. He turned around and walked out without saying a word. That tall figure was covered in ayer of anger. For some reason, Qiao Mu felt that his proud and arrogant back seemed so lonely when she looked over. She subconsciously raised her hand and grabbed the corner of his shirt. She bit her lip and called out, Uncle Li Yans body froze, and his cold eyes swept toward Qiao Mu. He raised his hand and pushed away the hand that was grabbing the corner of his shirt. His thin lips moved, and he spat out cruel and heartless words, Qiao Mu, Illpletely destroy your thoughts of leaving! If you be my woman, dont even think about getting rid of me! Qiao Mus face instantly turned pale, and the man had already left the room inrge strides in the next second. With a bang, the moment the door was mmed shut, Qiao Mu felt as if her heart had been hollowed out, and it hurt. Her body slid down from the bed bit by bit. She hugged her knees and curled up at the corner of the bed. Li Yans words were repeated in her ears over and over again. He said, Qiao Mu, you dont have a heart at all! When he said this, she clearly saw the disappointment in his eyes. That man would actually reveal such a lonely expression! However, how could she not have a heart? Otherwise, where did the pain in her cheste from? He gritted his teeth tightly as scenes from the past reyed in his mind. She thought back to when she had met him at Yu Tingyuns birthday party. She had threatened him aggressively, but this man had responded to her yfully. At that time, she thought that this person was very frivolous. But in retrospect, he had treated her specially from the beginning. How could such a high and mighty man allow others to be so arrogant in front of him? Later, she had sex with him after drinking. When she woke up and found out that it was him, she was extremely annoyed and relieved. She had thought that he would stand on Yu Tingyuns side, but when she was bullied by Yu Tingyun, bullied by bad people, or met with danger and difficulties, he would always appear at the most critical moment to help her out! She had always thought that they were in a business rtionship, but if it was just a business rtionship, why would he treat her so well? Chapter 315 - 315: Completely Cutting Off Your Thoughts of Leaving (2) Chapter 315: Completely Cutting Off Your Thoughts of Leaving (2) Trantor: 549690339 At the thought of this, Qiao Mu felt an unbearable pain in her heart. It turned out that she had already fallen for him again without her knowing! Qiao Mu did not know how long she had been squatting at the corner of the bed. She moved her stiff legs and picked up her phone that had been thrown to the side. She took out Han Sus phone number and dialed it. The call went through and Han Sus voice sounded, Mu Mu, I was just looking for you. Qiao Mu took a deep breath and whispered, Senior, I wanted to tell you about the exchange student. I cant go to Hong Kong as an exchange student. I My family doesnt agree. Han Su sighed and smiled. Thats what I wanted to tell you. Originally, your quota was approved, but today, I received a notice from the school that your quota was canceled. I didnt know how to tell you, but this is perfect. Qiao Mu was stunned. She knew without thinking that it was Li Yans doing. That man really meant what he said. He didnt allow her to leave, so he blocked all her paths. She didnt know if she should be happy that he cared about her or angry at his rudeness. Senior, Qiao Mu said apologetically, Ive troubled you for the past two months. Ive made you work so hard for nothing. Im fine. Han Su paused and lowered her voice. Mu Mu, are you the one who doesnt want to leave? If its because of other reasons, I can help you. Even if the quota is cancelled, I can think of other ways. Hearing Han Sus concerned words, Qiao Mu felt warmth in her heart. She smiled and said in a rxed tone, Senior, thank you so much. I dont need it. I dont want to leave. There was no sound on the other end of the phone. After a while, Han Su said, The person who stopped this matter is Li Yan. Mu Mu, you and him Han Su hesitated and didnt say anything, but Qiao Mu smiled faintly. She didnt feel that there was anything to hide, so she said straightforwardly, Li Yan is not my biological uncle. Han Su sighed. He should have noticed it earlier. After thinking about it, he couldnt help but say, Mu Mu, if you want to Senior, Im fine now. Thank you for your concern. Qiao Mu realized what he was about to say and interrupted him. Perhaps Han Su thought that she was forced to be with Li Yan and wanted to help her out. She only treated Han Su as a friend. She had no intention of leaving Li Yan. Even if she wanted to, she could not drag Han Su into it. After hanging up the phone, Qiao Mu went downstairs. Li Yan had indeed left. Qiao Mu thought that she would definitely exin everything to him when he returned. Although it was her n from the beginning to the end, she wanted to tell him that she did not want to leave. Even if he didnt stop her, she wouldnt leave. However, Li Yan still did not return at midnight. Qiao Mu leaned against the headboard and unknowingly fell asleep. The next morning, she was woken up by the ringing of her phone. When she opened her eyes, the bed was empty. She was lying on one side, and the nket on the other side had not been touched. It was the same as it was before she went to bedst night. Qiao Mu picked up the phone and answered the call. Chi Xias cautious voice sounded from the other end, Mu Mu, youAre you alright? Qiao Mu was stunned by Chi Xias anxious and concerned tone. Did Chi Xia know about her rtionship with Li Yan? But how did she know? Im fine, Xiaxia, Qiao Mu said in confusion. How did you know? Chi Xias voice suddenly became agitated. How would I know? Everyone knows, how can I not know! You still say that its fine? When I saw the news this morning, I was so angry that I almost vomited blood! Li Yan is such a jerk. I thought he was a good man. Since you didnt have any feelings for him, its good that we split up now! Chapter 316 - 316: Completely Cutting Off Your Thoughts of Leaving (3) Chapter 316: Completely Cutting Off Your Thoughts of Leaving (3) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu furrowed her brows, realizing that something was wrong. Xiaxia, what exactly happened? What? You actually dont know? Chi Xia screamed. She realized that she was too impulsive and wanted to p herself. Um, Mu Mu, actually___ Dont be agitated first. Lets keep our hearts calm and not be sad because of that man What exactly happened? Qiao Mu interrupted Chi Xia. Hey, you should read the news yourself. Todays headlines! Qiao Mu hung up the phone and immediately opened the webpage. Her heart tensed up. Something that made Chi Xia so angry was obviously not a good thing. As expected When she saw the headline, her eyes widened in shock. The womans identity was mysterious. She was intimate with Li Yan. Their rtionship was unknown. She was the first woman to be exposed! Qiao Mus hands trembled as she held onto her phone. Through the cracked screen, she read every word on the screen. There was an entire article about Li Yan and that mysterious woman on the webpage. At the bottom of the report, there were photos of the two of them going in and out of hotels and private vis! It was like a slide show, one after another. From entering the hotel, to leaving the hotel, to getting into the car, to entering the vi, the series of events were clearly captured! The woman next to Li Yan had short hair, a hat, and a pair ofrge sunsses. It seemed that she did not want to be photographed secretly, so her face waspletely covered. She was wearing casual shorts and a T-shirt. Her petite figure stood beside Li Yan and held his arm intimately. There was also a photo of Li Yan opening the car door for the woman. Before the woman got into the car, she even wrapped her arms around Li Yans neck.. They looked as intimate as a couple in love. Their expressions could not be seen clearly. In the photo taken at night, only their outlines could be seen. If it was taken clearly, they might be able to see their happy expressions. Qiao Mu took a deep breath. She felt her breath burning hot, burning her chest to the point of stinging pain. She had been with Li Yan for so long, but she had never thought that he would have another woman besides her! She had always thought that even if their rtionship was ambiguous, she was his only woman! However, after he leftst night, he actually spent the night with another woman! Was he taking revenge on her? Taking revenge on her for using him, taking revenge on her for leaving? That was why he had to expose such a thing to her! Staring at the private vi in the photo, Qiao Mus heart twitched violently. When she thought about how he was with another woman, she felt as if she was suffocating. He kissed others like he kissed her, hugged others like he hugged her. Even the kindness he treated her with was given to others as well, even better than how he treated her..At the thought of this, Qiao Mu threw her phone away with a pale face. Li Yan, you bastard! To think that she had given up on the idea of leaving and wanted to be with him! In the end, he still yed her like a fool like he did back then! She was really stupid. She had been deceived once, and she had to repeat the same thing again! Qiao Mu stood up angrily and packed up all her belongings. She packed them up and left.. She didnt want to be with him anymore! Chapter 317 - 317: Making Things Worse (1) Chapter 317: Making Things Worse (1) Trantor: 549690339 At the same time, in the private vi that had been exposed online. Two men were fighting. One of them was Li Yan, and the other was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Although the man was already middle-aged, his facial features were still handsome and imposing. His high-spirited appearance was somewhat simr to Li Yans. Li Yan sat on the sofa expressionlessly. The angry man opposite him pointed at him. You bastard, how dare you create a scandal with my woman! Li Yan lifted his eyelids. Do you think I want to? Youre still being reasonable! Hurry up and rify everything! Li Yan stood up and turned to leave without saying a word. His attitude seemed to have angered the man behind him. The man picked up a pillow and threw it at him. Did you hear that? Ill give you five minutes. After five minutes, I want those messy rumors to disappearpletely! You had a conflict with your own woman and came to affect our love life. Not only did you kidnap my wife, but you also caused such a thing. Do you want to anger me to death so early in the morning? Li Yan stopped in his tracks. He tilted his slender body slightly and dodged the pillow that was thrown at him. He turned to look at the man, his tone not any better. Old Mr. Li, it was you who made your wife leave in anger. You asked me to pick her up in the middle of the night, and I sent her back If youre angry, dont vent it on your wife. I dont have the patience to listen to you throw a tantrum here! You How dare you call me old! Im only twenty years older than you. Am I old? Li Zheng rolled up his sleeves in anger. Come over here. Lets have a fight and see if Im worse than you! Li Yans tone was indifferent. If you cant even keep an eye on your own wife, what can you do here?! Li Zheng choked. He pointed at Li Yans back and snorted coldly. As if youre very powerful. I heard that you were chased out of the house by the child you raisedst night! Li Yans expression turned ugly at the mention of this. He corrected her coldly, Shes 18 years old. Shes an adult. Shes not a child! Youre only 18 years old. Whats the difference between you and a child? Your taste is really strong. You like this type. Look at yourself. You cant even subdue a woman. If youre done ying, stop it. Dont embarrass your father! Youre useless. I inherited it from you! Also, change your attitude. Shes your future daughter-inw! Li Zheng was stunned. He did not expect Li Yan to be so direct. He waved his hand and said, I dont admit it What are you not admitting? Before Li Zheng could finish his words, a fierce voice sounded from upstairs. Yu Yiduo came downstairs in her pajamas. Li Zhengs face turned serious. Whats so good about being a daughter of the Qiao family? Both you and your son are possessed by the Qiao family. The Qiao family can forget about entering our Li family! You didnt argue enoughst night. Are you looking for a fight again? Yu Yiduo put her hands on her waist and widened her eyes. What are you talking about? Ive already decided on my daughter-in w. If you dont agree, Ill kick you out of the Li family. Ill live with my son and daughter-inw. Li Zheng was so angry that his face turned red. You! Youre really rebellious. Youre rebelling against the heavens for a son of the Qiao family! Just as Yu Yiduo was about to argue, Li Yans cold voice rang out, Mom, tell Dad how the news this morning was created. Dad, you should discipline your restless wife. Li Yan said and walked out of the vi. Behind him, Yu Yiduo shouted, Son, Im helping you.. Dont you know that its the opposite? Chapter 318 - 318: Making Things Worse (2) Chapter 318: Making Things Worse (2) Trantor: 549690339 After Li Yan left homest night, he received a call from Yu Yiduo. Yu Yiduo and Li Zheng had just reconciled for a while before they started arguing again. Li Yan did not want her to see his and Qiao Mus state, so he sent her to the hotel. After Yu Yiduoined, Li Yan finally found out that the reason for their quarrel was also rted to Qiao Mu. Yu Yiduo was showing off her cute daughter-inw to Li Zheng. When Li Zheng found out that she was Qiao Jiannans daughter, he immediately disagreed and would never allow the Qiao family to enter the Li family. Before Yu Yiduo married Li Zheng, the Yu family had arranged for her to marry Qiao Jiannan. However, Yu Tingyun had taken a liking to Qiao Jiannan and snatched the marriage away. Yu Yiduo didnt have any feelings for Qiao Jiannan. She hadnt even met him before, but when Li Zheng found out about their rtionship, he felt awkward. When they were young, Li Yan and Qiao Mu were close, and Li Zheng could not be bothered to care, However, his son wanted to marry the Qiao familys daughter, so didnt this make him feel a knot in his heart? Therefore, Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo started arguing and Yu Yiduo ran away from home in a fit of anger! At that time, Li Yan was in a terrible mood and did not have the mood tofort his mother over such trivial matters. He was already used to the two of them quarreling all day long. After that, Yu Yiduo couldnt stay in the hotel any longer. She said that she wanted to go home and even disguised herself. She got a short-haired wig from somewhere and put it on. She even said that she was still 18 flowers after putting on makeup. She wanted to make the old man at home realize that she was in danger and treat her well in the future. If she didnt treat her well, she could still find a 30-year-old lover when she went out! Then, this happened early in the morning. Li Yan didnt know that Yu Yiduo had called the reporters. The reporters had been waiting for them in advance to take such detailed photos of their itinerary. In fact, the main reason Yu Yiduo did this was because she could tell that Qiao Mu and Li Yan were not officially dating. Based on her experience, she knew that as long as she created some scandals and misunderstandings for her son, the results might be very different! However, what Yu Yiduo didnt know was that the two of them were having a conflict. This wasnt helping them, it was making things worse! Li Yans mood was gloomy for the entire night. Just as he left his parents ce, he received a call from the butler, saying that Qiao Mu had packed her things and left! In an instant, the anger that had not been suppressed surged again! Had she forgotten all about the warning she had given herst night? She still dared to leave him! Qiao Mu took the bus to school. Halfway there, the bus suddenly braked, and the people on the bus tumbled. Then, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and hung up. He should be in his sweet spot right now, yet he was still in the mood to call her! The other party refused to give up. If she continued to fight, she would hang At this moment, the car moved to the side as if it wanted to bypass the obstacle in front of it. However, just as it moved, it suddenly braked. The people in the car started to stir. Qiao Mu sat in the back and could not see what was happening in front of her. She only heard someone say, How can you drive like this? The road is so wide, but youre blocking the bus! Rich people are always so domineering when they drive. Theyre the masters when they drive a Bentley. If they get rear-ended, he wont be solely responsible! What? Is that car very expensive? How ignorant.. A Bentley Mulsanne, this configuration costs tens of millions! Chapter 319 - 319: Making Things Worse (3) Chapter 319: Making Things Worse (3) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus body stiffened when she heard the discussions. She stood up and looked in front of the car. Indeed, she saw that familiar car. The phone rang again. She picked it up and heard the mans voice giving orders.Get out of the car! No! Qiao Mus tone was stiff as she rejected him straightforwardly. The mans tone was gloomy and he sneered. Ill give you one minute. I dont mind going up and pulling you down! Li Yan! Qiao Mu was so angry that she almost roared, but the other party hung up the phone right away, not giving her a chance to speak. Qiao Mu knew that Li Yan was capable of doing anything. She could not afford to lose face if the man who was being discussed online early in the morning was seen pulling her on the bus! She did not want to be the second person to have a scandal with him! After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Mu got off the bus and got into Li Yans car. She had just closed the car door when the car sped out. The man gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. The veins on his hands were bulging, which was enough to tell his emotions at this moment. Then, the mans cold and angry voice was heard.Qiao Mu, who allowed you to leave without a word? My warning to youst night didnt work, did it? Qiao Mu recalled that before he leftst night, he told her that he had given up on the idea of leaving! At that time, she thought that he cared about her and did not want her to leave. He only used extreme methods to keep her. Now that he thought about it, he was just being possessive and could not ept her leaving him of her own ord! He clearly had another woman, but he refused to let go of her! Her heart suddenly began to ache. She bit her lip hard and looked at him. He was still wearing the same clothes asst night. Her eyes seemed to be stung as she turned to the side. Qiao Mus silence made Li Yan even angrier, and he said in a gloomy voice, Speak! I have nothing to say! Qiao Mu stubbornly refused to look at him. When she thought of the scene in the photo, she felt disgusted with him from the bottom of her heart! What right did he have to be so confident? Did he think she was blind or deaf? Everyone knew about his affairst night, but he didnt exin anything and med her! Ha! What was there to exin? There was no need for her to exin to him, right? Qiao Mus nothing to say made Li Yans anger reach its peak. He mmed on the brakes, and Qiao Mus defenseless body arched forward, almost hitting the front car window. Before she could sit properly, arge hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her against the seat. Qiao Mu felt dizzy, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Li Yans icy cold face right before her eyes. He leaned closer, and a faint scent of female perfume spread across the tip of her nose. It was like refreshing water, stimting her brain. She pushed him away and said angrily, Dont touch me! What did you say?! Li Yans voice was suppressed to the lowest level. His low and hoarse voice was filled with suppressed anger. Her eyes were filled with undisguised disgust. Before this, even if she rejected him, she had never looked at him with such disgust! Hisrge hand grabbed her chin and his voice was bone-chilling. Why? Blocking your way? Are you toozy to even pretend to please me now? Qiao Mus chin was pinched until it hurt faintly. She frowned. Li Yan, what exactly do you want? Youve already canceled my exchange student quota, so I cant leave.. Are you going to imprison me and torture me? Chapter 320 - 320: Let Me Go (1) Chapter 320: Let Me Go (1) Trantor: 549690339 You want to leave so badly? Even if youre with me, you dont want to stay? Yes! Qiao Mu answered without hesitation. Would she stay and be one of his women? She didnt care! Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes and a cold glint shed across them. He curled his lips sinisterly. Very good! Qiao Mu, dont me me for not giving you a chance! Qiao Mu turned her face to the side, looking as if she was looking at him with disdain! Li Yan was furious. He held her chin and kissed her lips fiercely. The more she hated him, the more he wanted her to get used to it! This kiss made Qiao Mu struggle intensely and forcefully push him away. As if she had been touched by something dirty, she raised her hand to wipe her lips and red at him angrily.Get lost! Dont touch me! Dont touch you? Why, do you feel disgusted now? Do you need me to remind you that there is no part of your body that I have not touched? Do you need me to demonstrate it again? Li Yans words made Qiao Mus face instantly turn pale. Li Yan was filled with anger and refused to let her go. He kissed her again! This time, Qiao Mu was even more agitated. She struggled with both her hands and feet, desperately avoiding his kiss. Get lost, bastard. Dont touch me with someone elses mouth. I find it dirty! Li Yans body froze and he suddenly looked up at her. What did you say? At this moment, he realized that something was wrong. Qiao Mu took the opportunity to push him away and forcefully wiped her mouth, wanting to wipe away the marks he left behind. She wiped her mouth again and again, refusing to stop even when her lips were red. As she wiped, her eyes became moist. Li Yans heart tightened. He grabbed her hand to stop her from continuing to wipe. However, just as he grabbed her hand, she flung him away forcefully like d VuuS. Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly and held back her tears. Even though she pretended to be strong, her voice could not hide her grievance. Dont touch me with a hand that youve touched before! I find you disgusting. I hate you to death, bastard! Dont even think about making me serve you with other women. You dont have to threaten me. Even if I die, I dont want it! Even if she had to die, she didnt want to be with him! These words were as hurtful as they could be. They pierced straight into Li Yans heart, making him feel that unfamiliar pain. However, he sensed that this was not the main point. More importantly, he thought he had another woman! Li Yans eyes darkened as he stared intently at the woman in front of him. She stubbornly lifted her chin. Her eyes were clearly filled with tears, but she refused to let her tears fall. It was as if crying for him was not worth it. Her words instantly cleared his mind. It turned out that she had misunderstood! She had misunderstood the scandal this morning, which was why she had resisted him so fiercely! Li Yan did not take this matter seriously at all. After the scandal spread, he did not think that she would misunderstand. He thought that she would recognize the woman who was with himst night at a nce. Therefore, he did not even mention this matter, thinking that it waspletely unnecessary! However, she had taken it for real! Because she misunderstood that he had another woman, she packed her things and left early in the morning. That was why she hated him so much and said those words that made him angry! There was a reason for all of this. She did not mean it! Li Yan stared at her with his dark eyes and asked word by word,Qiao Mu, do you mind if Im with another woman? Chapter 321 - 321: Let Me Go (2) Chapter 321: Let Me Go (2) Trantor: 549690339 Did she care? Qiao Mu bit her lip hard. When she heard the mans words, the grievance in her heart gushed out uncontrobly. In the blink of an eye, the tears in her eyes finally flowed down uncontrobly. She could clearly feel that she had fallen for him. She did not know when she had fallen in love with him. Perhaps her love for him had never changed since ten years ago. However, when she realized that she had fallen in love with him, she realized that he was a big jerk in the blink of an eye! Thinking about how he had entered the hotel with that mysterious womanst night, entered the private house, and did something intimate that she could not imagine, her heart ached! How could he be so shameless as to pretend that nothing had happened and continue to pester her without saying a word! Clenching her hands tightly, she took a deep breath and said fiercely, 1 care! Because I feel disgusted. When I think of you touching me with someone elses hand, I feel so disgusted that I want to vomit! She was clearly trying to say something to provoke him, but her chest hurt so much that she could not breathe. She pressed her hands against her chest and tears kept flowing out. As if she felt that she hadnt made herself clear enough, she sobbed and shoutea, YOU pastarcl! snameless! snameless! what cio you take me torc Youre with me and youre still looking for other women. If you want to have fun, Ill fulfill your wish. Let me go. You can do whatever you want. I wont care! Her words pierced Li Yans heart like a sharp sword. She kept saying that she wanted to leave. Even if he did not do anything wrong to her, the pain of being hated and rejected by her was real. Li Yan frowned as he looked at the little woman lying limply on the seat. She was curled up into a ball and was so sad that her nose was dripping with tears. She sobbed without caring about her image. She was so sad because he was with another woman. Did this mean that she actually liked him? Li Yans eyes shed, and he reached out to wipe her tears. Qiao Mu, this is a misunderstanding Take your hands off me! The moment his palm touched her cheek, she pushed him away frantically, refusing to let him touch her. Immediately after, vicious words were thrown at him.Li Yan, dont make me disgust you. I beg you, let me go She cried and begged. Deep in her eyes, she really wanted to get rid of him and stay away from him. It was as if she didnt even want to look at him! Li Yans hands froze in mid-air for a few seconds. The light that had just lit up in his pitch-ck eyes was instantly extinguished at this moment! He was really daydreaming. How could she care about him? If she really cared, she would not have secretly nned to leave and had no intention of staying for him! If he hadnt found out, she might have disappeared without a word! Li Yans expression darkened at the thought of this. He clenched his fists tightly and started the car after a while. As the car started, the mans cold and domineering voice reminded him word by word,Qiao Mu, you can only be mine in this lifetime! Qiao Mus body stiffened, and her face instantly paled! Even if he had another woman, did he not n to let her go? What did he take her for? One of his many pastimes? Bastard! She must be blind to fall in love with him! The car stopped at the Li familys vi. Li Yan got out of the car while Qiao Mu sat in the car without moving. Li Yan opened the passenger door and was about to reach out to hold her hand when he saw her expression of rejection.. He paused and said coldly, Get out of the car! Chapter 322 - 322: Let Me Go (3) Chapter 322: Let Me Go (3) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu sat there without moving as if she hadnt heard anything. Then, the man beside her threatened coldly, Do you want me to carry you out of the car, or do you want to get out of the car yourself? Or if you want to live in the car, I dont mind sleeping with you in the car at night! Hearing the mans shameless words, Qiao Mu raised her eyes and red at him. In the end, she still got out of the car angrily. She was carrying the small bag that she had packed when she left the Li family. It was filled with some of her clothes. At this moment, she did not look good. The tears on her face had dried up, and her cheeks were covered in tears. Her eyes were slightly swollen, and her hair and clothes were a little messy. Coupled with the small bag in her hand, she looked like she was fleeing from famine. Li Yan turned around and walked into the house. After taking a few steps, he realized that the person behind him was still motionless and did not follow him. He said coldly,Go home! Go home? Qiao Mu found itughable. This was not her home! However, she knew that she had to do what this man wanted her to do. If she didnt do it herself, he would do it for her, so she could only follow him obediently. After entering the house, Li Yan asked the butler to prepare lunch. Qiao Mu stood at the door and did not move. Li Yan turned to look at her and frowned slightly. She had no intention of putting down the bag in her hand. It was as if she was about to take her things and leave at any moment! He approached her and reached out to take her bag, but she avoided him. This is mine! Qiao Mu hugged her things tightly, as if he could not touch anything that belonged to her! Li Yans eyes darkened. You took something from my house and you still im its yours? These are all my things. I bought them all with my own money. I didnt take any of the clothes you bought for me. Theyre all in the closet! She wanted to cut ties with him! Li Yan tugged at his tie in frustration. His voice was filled with anger.Qiao Mu, do you need me to remind you that even you are mine, so what else is yours? Qiao Mu raised her chin angrily. Im not! Youre not? The person who took my money back then and vowed to exchange it for three years, wasnt it you? Qiao Mu choked, and all her arrogance was instantly extinguished. Li Yan was right. She had taken his money and had to repay it with herself. That was why he was pestering her and not letting go. If she let go, she would suffer a loss! Qiao Mu only felt a sour feeling in her heart, and the mans voice immediately followed. 0pen the bag! I said, this is all mine! If you dont believe me, go upstairs and check if there are any clothes missing in the wardrobe. You can even take them to your next bed partner! In the end, he added in a fit of pique,lm just afraid that they dont have a good figure like mine and cant wear it! Li Yan was unable to vent his anger when he heard her speak like a child. This little thing had not gotten rid of her childish personality. Li Yan was both angry and helpless. Qiao Mu, do you have to talk to me like this? I dont want to talk to you at all! Li Yans face darkened as he stared at the woman who had rejected him. After a while, he said coldly, Go upstairs and change your clothes. Lets eat. Im not eating your food! Qiao Mu, dont challenge my patience! Did this woman really want to intimidate him? Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and went upstairs angrily. After entering the room, Qiao Mu stood in front of the mirror and looked at her disheveled appearance.. She felt that she was too useless! Chapter 323 - 323: Let Me Go (4) Chapter 323: Let Me Go (4) Trantor: 549690339 What was there to be sad about? She had already experienced his betrayal once anyway, so she should have been numb to it long ago! However, her heart still ached! Qiao Mu went downstairs and ate her lunch without a word. She felt as if she was once again living her life as a prisoner. After the meal, she sat on the sofa and turned on her phone. Almost all the websites were filled with scandals about Li Yan and the mysterious woman. Who was that woman? This news had been exposed for a few hours, but Li Yan did not step forward to stop it. With his ability, it was easy for him to clean up the fake news, but he did not! What did this mean? It was obvious! Qiao Mu clicked on a video. It was taken when the reporter followed Li Yan into the hotel. She deliberately turned up the volume. The sound of wind could be heard on the phone. The reporter followed the car in front and reported, The two people in the car in front seem to be hugging each other. That woman is really dishonest. Young Master Li is driving and she still wants to get close to himYo yo, he kissed her! Finally, the car stopped and the two of them arrived at the hotelThey held hands and went in Qiao Mu clearly didnt want to see it, but she couldnt help but be curious about what he didst night. However, when she saw the blurry and flirtatious image in the video, her heart started to twitch violently. Li Yan listened from the side and frowned slightly. Damn it, although he knew that his whereaboutsst night had been exposed, he did not expect it to be so ridiculous! What kissing? What holding hands? It sounded like a couple. No wonder this little thing misunderstood! Which media outlet dared to fabricate the truth like this? He would definitely turn this media outlet upside down! Taking a deep breath, Li Yan took the phone from Qiao Mus hand and turned off the video. He then threw the phone on the coffee table roughly. The phone was already a defective product. With this fall, it probably couldnt even make a call! Qiao Mu raised her head and looked at him. Why? You cant bear to listen to what youve done? Isnt this called being angry out of humiliation? Qiao Mu! Li Yan red at her warningly. After a while, he sighed helplessly and said coldly, The womanst night is my mother! Qiao Mu was stunned. In the next second, she suddenlyughed. Every time sheughed, her heart would ache. She didnt know if she should feel honored that this man would actually open his mouth to exin to her and actually treat her like a three-year-old child! Fortunately, she had met Yu Yiduo before. Otherwise, she would have believed his words! Even if Yu Yiduo was fashionable, she was apletely different person from the woman in the photo. One had long hair and the other had short hair. The woman in the photo was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. No matter how one looked at it, she was a woman in her twenties! Most importantly, the shadows of the two people in the car in the video were obviously kissing! Afterughing enough, Qiao Mu felt tears welling up in her eyes. She raised her head and red at him. Li Yan, why dont you say that the man only looks like you and not you? This excuse is more convincing! Li Yans eyes darkened. She did not believe it! At this moment, Li Yan finally realized that this womans intelligence had really been eaten by a uog. He was about to say something when his phone rang. He picked up the phone in frustration and wanted to hang up the call. When he saw the caller ID, he paused and picked up the phone. He went to the balcony to answer the call. Ouyang, what is it? Boss, the business deal in the Middle East is waiting for you to negotiate.. When are youing? Chapter 324 - 324: Her Heart Hurts So Much (1) Chapter 324: Her Heart Hurts So Much (1) Trantor: 549690339 Im not free. Go find Chen Chen! Li Yan said coldly. Dont, boss. The other partys boss specifically wanted to talk to you. It was decided a month ago. If it was the second in charge, this matter would most likely fall apart! Think of a way to solve it yourself! Boss, this is a big deal worth tens of millions! Li Yan frowned and looked at the woman in the room. She was too agitated to listen to his exnation. In the current situation, if he were to be with her, she would only feel more and more repelled. Li Yan retracted his gaze and said into the phone, Book me a ne ticket! After returning to the house, Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu and said indifferently, lm going overseas for a business trip. You stay at home obediently. He had just finished speaking when he saw Qiao Mus eyes brighten. It seemed that his departure was a very happy thing for him. Li Yan suppressed his anger and reminded her coldly, Dont even think about leaving. Even if you go to Hong Kong to study, I can still catch you! Qiao Mu, I mean what I say! Qiao Mu snorted coldly and turned her face away from him. Hurry up and leave. If you leave, you wont have to face his stinky face all day! Although Li Yan really wanted to have a good talk with Qiao Mu, she was so agitated that she would not listen to anything he said. There was no rush in this matter. The little thing could not be pushed too quickly. He would give her time to calm down! Li Yan set off for the airport. On the way, he sent a message to Yu Yiduo, Mom, go and exin what happenedst night to Qiao Mu. At this moment, Yu Yiduo was catching up on sleep when her phone rang. Li Zheng took it and saw Li Yans message. A smile appeared on his cold face. He moved his fingers and deleted the message. Qiao Jiannans daughter, why would he need his wife to exin? He could just leave this matter to him! On the second day after Li Yan left, Qiao Mu took her things and prepared to return to the dormitory. Just as she stepped out of the door, she saw a car driving into the vipound. Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks. Li Yan had just left yesterday and was back today? She looked at the license te and realized that it was not Li Yans car. The car stopped and a tall figure got out. The man looked to be in his fifties. He exuded a solemn aura. He had a serious face and strong facial features. He did not look old. He was handsome, mature, and charming. There was also a hint of domineering aura. Suddenly, the mans gaze swept over. Qiao Mu stood where she was and watched as the man approached her. May I know who you are? Li Yans father. Li Zheng sized up Qiao Mu. Someone who could freely enter and leave the Li familys vi was most likely not an outsider. Qiao Mu had already somewhat guessed his identity, so she was not surprised when she heard Li Zhengs words. She smiled and bowed politely. Hello, Uncle. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the other party sizing her up. She didnt know if she was overthinking it, but Li Zhengs gaze was very unfriendly, making her feel a little creeped out. Li Yan was the type who was cold and distant when he was serious, but he would not show any other emotions. However, the emotions in the eyes of the man in front of him could be seen at a nce. A voice in her heart told her that Li Yans father did not like her! At this moment, she heard the other partys voice.Are you the canary that my son raised? These words were like a resounding p to Qiao Mus face, causing her polite smile to instantly freeze.. Chapter 325 - 325: Her Heart Hurts So Much (2) Chapter 325: Her Heart Hurts So Much (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu did not know the other partys in tentions. Even if the other party did not like her, she still smiled politely. Uncle, my name is Qiao Mu. Uncle, Li Yan isnt home. He went on a business trip, she said after a pause. Li Zhengs sharp eyesnded on Qiao Mus face, and he raised his eyebrows. She did not show any displeasure at his sarcasm, and she straightened her back and maintained a smile at him. Her words and actions were still considered generous and appropriate. From the looks of it, she did not look like a vulgar vase. Thinking about it, it made sense. With his sons taste, how could he fall for a vase? Although Li Zheng didnt hate her personally, she was Qiao Jiannans daughter. Naturally, he couldnt let the daughter of the person he hated the most marry into the Li family! Li Zheng looked at Qiao Mu disdainfully. You dont have to tell me about my sons whereabouts. Im here to look for you today. Qiao Mu, lets talk. Without giving Qiao Mu a chance to speak, Li Zheng continued, Lets talk about when youll leave the Li family. Qiao Mu was stunned. She finally understood the other partys intentions. As expected, they came with ill intentions! Qiao Mu wiped away the smile on her face and raised her head to look straight at Li Zheng before bluntly saying, Uncle, what do you want to say? Please say it. Im in a hurry. I have to go to schoolter. Li Zheng was slightly surprised by Qiao Mus neither servile nor overbearing attitude. A neen-year-old girl was so calm in front of him. This kind of performance was beyond his expectations. In a hurry? Li Zheng sneered. Thats good. Im in a hurry too. Ill make it short. You saw the newsst night, right? I dont know what youre thinking. Since you know that Li Yan has another woman, are you still willing to be with him? Maybe he didnt tell you clearly. The woman who was exposed is his fiance, the daughter-inw of our Li family. Qiao Mus body stiffened, and her eyes widened in disbelief. Li Zhengs words were even more shocking than yesterdays news. Qiao Mu froze on the spot and lost her ability to react. Li Yan actually said that his fiance was his mother. He could even make up such a lie. What else was true? He clenched his fists tightly and pretended to be calm as he looked at Li Zheng. Uncle, do you have anything else to say? If not, Im leaving. Li Zheng frowned. The girl in front of him was a little pale, but she was calm and did not show any panic. He put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, Qiao Mu, its impossible between you and Li Yan. Li Yan might not have told you this, but the Li family and the Qiao family have grudges against each other, so its impossible for them to get married. I hope you wont pester him. As long as you leave him, you can name any conditions you want! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth, and her knuckles turned slightly white. She smiled sarcastically. Uncle, youre mistaken. The person being pestered is me. If its possible, I hope you cane forward and persuade your son. Since he already has a fiance, I, Qiao Mu, am not a casual person. Please let me live! She bowed politely. Im sorry, I still have something on. Ill be leaving first. Li Zheng looked at Qiao Mus back and frowned slightly. That back looked frail and weak, as if it would copse at the slightest gust of wind. She clearly looked like she had suffered a great blow and was very sad, but she straightened her back and walked away from his sight with firm steps.. Chapter 326 - 326: Her Heart Hurts So Much (3) Chapter 326: Her Heart Hurts So Much (3) Trantor: 549690339 Before he met her, Li Zheng had a bad impression of Qiao Mu. It was because her surname was Qiao and his wife kept calling her daughter-inw, which made him feel even more awkward. He always felt that Yu Yiduos fondness for Qiao Mu was more or less due to Qiao Jiannan. He had minded Qiao Jiannan for so many years. When he thought about how his wife had almost married that man, how could he let the two families be inws? Thus, he took the opportunity to show Qiao Mu his power today, but her reaction was beyond his expectations. In his impression, every neen-year-old girl was impetuous and smug, but Qiao Mus words and actions were polite and courteous. Even if he said something overboard, she did not lose herposure. There was no pretense or falsehood. He was straightforward and genuine. It seemed that Qiao Jiannan had raised her daughter well. When Li Yan mentioned her to him, he mentioned her as his daughter-inw. It seemed like that kid was serious. Forget it. Since that was the case, he would not interfere. As for what he said just nowJust treat it as a test for them! Li Zheng did not know that this test of his had almost caused Qiao Mus heart to ache! Qiao Mu didnt know how she managed to walk out of the Li residence. Her legs were already numb and she couldnt feel anything. She walked mechanically, Li Zhengs words echoing in her mind. Li Yan had a fiance! What should she do? Her heart hurt so much! Suddenly, a car horn sounded behind her. She didnt turn around. Immediately after, there was the sound of brakes. She heard Qiao Yas shocked voice.Qiao Mu, why did youe out of the Li n? Qiao Mus body instantly stiffened. In the past, every time she left the Li familys residence, she would look around at the entrance to see if there were any cars passing by. Just now, she was not paying attention, and she actually came out so openly! When Qiao Ya saw that Qiao Mu didnt respond, her tone became extremely furious. Qiao Mu, you actually went to uncles house to seduce him? Youre really shameless to do such a thing! Its a pity that your uncle already has an aunt. The news has spread to everyone. You dont have a chance! Did you also see the news, so you couldnt sit still and wanted to take a gamble? I heard from my mother that she asked you to seduce Uncle, but Uncle didnt take the bait. After finding out that Uncle has a lover, not only did you not find a hole to hide in, but you also found a ***! I really dont know what to say about you Have you said enough? Qiao Mu interrupted him impatiently and red coldly at Qiao Ya, who was gloating. Get lost! Dont block the way! Oh, youre angry from embarrassment? I just want to see how thick-skinned you can be. Did you send yourself to Uncles bed and then be ruthlessly chased out? How pitiful! As Qiao Ya spoke, her tone changed and became vicious.Qiao Mu, wake up. Uncle is no longer the uncle from back then. No matter how good he was to you back then, its all in the past! Look at your listless appearance. I like to see you like this. Can you shed a few tears for me to see? Im so happy! It was rare for Qiao Ya to see Qiao Mu in such a dejected state. In the past, Qiao Mu could easily retort every time she dealt with her, and that attitude was simply infuriating! It was not easy to get a chance to humiliate her. How could Qiao Ya not seize the opportunity? The words she said were as cruel as they could be! It was too satisfying! Qiao Yas arrogant words pierced straight into Qiao Mus heart, mercilessly tearing a hole in it.. The events that had happened in the past few days instantly made her unable to breathe! Chapter 327 - 327: Her Heart Hurts So Much (4) Chapter 327: Her Heart Hurts So Much (4) Trantor: 549690339 He clenched his fists tightly, his fingers digging into his flesh as he tried to calm himself down. She could not show her sadness in front of Qiao Ya. It would only make Qiao Ya more arrogant! Looking at the white car, she took a step forward and kicked the door hard. Bang The car door instantly caved in! Qiao Mus kickpletely vented all the anger and sorrow in her heart. Immediately after, Qiao Ya screamed, Ah Qiao Mu, are you crazy? What are you doing? Arent you happy? Its boring for you to be happy alone. I want to be happy with you too. Yes, Im very happy now! Qiao Mu sneered and left immediately. Qiao Ya quickly got out of the car and saw the obvious big footprint on her beloved car. The car had been stepped on until it caved in. Her heart ached so much that she stomped her feet! She pointed at Qiao Mus back and shouted through gritted teeth, Qiao Mu, stop right there! Come back! Im going toin to Daddy, you wretched girl! Qiao Mu didnt stop walking. She turned around and nced at Qiao Ya, whose face was contorted. Goin. Ill also tell Daddy about the good things youve done to me! You You bitch! Qiao Mu moved back to the school dormitory andpletely cut off all contact with Li Yan. She had left her phone at the Li familys house. Even if Li Yan wanted to contact her, he could not. Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mus listless expression and could not help but ask, Mu Mu, what do you n to do next? Qiao Muy on the bed and turned over. Well take it one step at a time! Chi Xia sighed. Sigh, were so pitiful. Were in the same boat. Were really best friends. If were going to break up, well break up together! Qiao Mu burst intoughter. Thats right, she was considered to have fallen out of love now! At this moment, the door was unlocked. Then, the door was pushed open and a voice sounded, Room 519. This is the ce. Thats right! Qiao Mu raised her head and was slightly stunned when she saw a slender figure standing outside the door. When the other party saw the person in the room, he was also stunned for a moment. He was the first to Mu, what a coincidence. I was assigned to your dormitory! Baby Guan carried tworge suitcases into the house and sat down on a chair to rest. Im your new roommate. Ill take care of you in the future Eh, the atmosphere in this room isnt very good. Whats going on? Qiao Mu smiled. Baby, were really fated. Baby Guan raised her chin. Yeah, if I were a man, I would take you in since were fated to be together. Unfortunately, Im not a gay and I already have someone I like. Were not fated to be together in this life. Qiao Mu was speechless. Chi Xia burst outughing. Wee, wee, Guan Baobei. You still remember me, right? Thest time I saw you, you were so handsome! Can you teach me a few self-defense moves? Baby Guan flicked her hair and looked valiant. Its a littlete to learn now. Its okay. Well be in the same dormitory from now on. Ill protect you! Chi Xia was so touched that she cried. Did that mean that she would have a female bodyguard in the future? Baby Guan was cold and lively. With her joining the dormitory, the atmosphere was not so gloomy. After asking for the reason, Baby Guan eximed, lt cant be that strange, right? My previous roommate was also heartbroken. Everyone who lives in this room is heartbroken. I dont want to be heartbroken! Qiao Mu patted Baby Guans shoulderfortingly. No, I believe that youll bring the atmosphere of our dormitory up.. Chapter 328 - 328: Qjao Mu Left (1) Chapter 328: Qjao Mu Left (1) Trantor: 549690339 Of course, I have a fianc! Although I havent taken him down yet, with my abilities, good things areing! Baby Guan added. Qiao Mu was a little stunned when she saw Baby Guans determination to love without hesitation. They were clearly the same age, but the difference was so big. When she was young, she did not hide her feelings in front of Li Yan. If she wanted to hug him, she would shamelessly snuggle into his embrace. If she wanted to kiss him, she would always find a way to do so. If she liked him, she would say it out loud. If she wanted to be his wife, she would say that she would marry him She had thought that she might have a chance to fulfill her initial wish after breaking up and reuniting. Reality gave her a hard p! Baby Guan looked at Qiao Mu as she packed her clothes. Mumu, when I went to the academic affairs office to report, I identally saw your name list for the exchange program. Do you want to leave? Qiao Mu nodded, then shook her head. Anyway, I cant leave now. Looking at Qiao Mus listless expression, Baby Guan put down the clothes in her hands and pped her hands. You want to go to Hong Kong, right? Let me tell you, the streets of Hong Kong are full of hooligans, and the public security is especially unsafe. Its just like in police and bandit movies, which is why Im practicing such martial arts to protect myself. Its terrible there. Youll definitely regret it when you go there! Chi Xias mouth twitched. Baby, do you think were just some ignorant trash? Youre bullying us because we havent been to Hong Kong. Youre lying to us! Baby Guan smiled awkwardly. Suddenly, she thought of something and her eyes lit up. Although Mumu cant go to a university in Hong Kong, we can go to the University of Hong Kong. Anyway, theres still a week before school starts. Ill take you guys there for a week to rx! Baby Guans tone was very heroic. Before Qiao Mu and Chi Xia could say anything, she dialed the number. Hello, Big Brother, help me book three ne tickets. I want to go home! Qiao Mu and Chi Xia looked at each other. Wasnt this a little too much of an action freak? After hanging up, Baby Guan said arrogantly, Hurry up and pack your things. Well set off in a while! Country K. Li Yan had just finished his business meeting and was about to leave. No need. Li Yan stood up and curled his lips. His expression was cold as he said, Mr. Murong, if our first cooperation is sessful, I will definitely invite you to my banquet. Ive auctioned off a high-quality item at the auction. I wonder if Boss Li is interested? If you need it tonight, I can give it to you. The man snapped his fingers and a woman walked out from the room at the side. She was dressed sexily and walked towards Li Yan with graceful steps. Western women were very sexy and charming. This woman was definitely great in all aspects. Li Yans gaze swept across her and the corners of his mouth curled up coldly. Mr. Murong is really picky. Unfortunately, its not my preference. As Li Yan spoke, his eagle-like eyes stared at the hand that was reaching over. He said coldly,lf you want your hand to leave your body, try stretching it forward. The womans movements froze. She did not give up and continued to stretch forward. Just as she was about to touch the corner of Li Yans clothes, Murong Chao shouted in a timely manner,Get lost! Didnt you hear what Boss Li said? You really dont know whats good for you! Li Yan retracted his gaze coldly. At this moment, his phone rang. He picked up the call. The next second, his voice was extremely cold and filled with abnormal anger..What did you say? Chapter 329 - 329: Qjao Mu Left (2) Chapter 329: Qjao Mu Left (2) Trantor: 549690339 The mans voice was extremely low as he questioned each word. There was a trace of disbelief in his voice. His state of being about to explode made Lei Yi on the other end of the phone shrink his neck involuntarily. Fortunately, Young Master Li was not in front of him! After pausing for two seconds, Lei Yi carefully repeated, Young Master, Miss Qiao went to Hong Kong today. The joints of Li Yans hand that was holding the phone turned blue. The anger on his face was obvious. He waspletely different from his calm and steady appearance just now. She actually went to Hong Kong? Before he left, his warning to that woman waspletely useless! She actually dared to sneak away! Li Yan realized that he had lost control of himself. He put down his phone and nodded at Murong Chao, signaling him to leave. Then, his tall body strode out of the door. Murong Chao was surprised to see Li Yan like this. Li Yan was famous for being a smiling tiger. When he was in business, no matter what kind of situation he was in, he would definitely be able to keep his cool. He would either be expressionless and not show his emotions, or he would curl his lips. A smile that was not a smile was enough to judge a persons life and death. His loss ofposure just now was really shocking! Murong Chaos men came up to him. Boss, Boss Li is not interested in the woman we arranged for him. It seems that this person is really blind! Thats hard to say. Did you see Li Yan on the phone just now? Its really rare! Its just a phone call. Maybe something happened in business. Is there anything different? The subordinate was puzzled. What do you know? What kind of person is Li Yan? When have I ever seen him get angry over winning or losing in business? Obviously, this is not business. Murong Chao curled his lips. Go and check it out. Maybe we can find something on Li Yan. We have to be careful when working with this man. Countless people have suffered at his hands. We should be prepared! Murong Chaos lips curled up, and his phoenix eyes were filled with a smile. His eyes were full of schemes. Li Yan got into the car with a frighteningly cold expression! She held the phone in her hand and continued to talk. If Li Yan did not hang up, Lei Yi would not dare to take the initiative to hang Finally, Lei Yi couldnt stand this oppressive cold violence and took the initiative to speak, Young Master, should we take Miss Qiao Pleasee back? It would have been fine if Lei Yi had not opened his mouth. However, the moment he opened his mouth, Li Yans voice became even gloomier. No need! Keep an eye on her and give me her location! Yes, Young Master! After hanging up the phone, Lei Yi took a deep breath and looked at the man opposite him. Fourth Young Master Ling, you forced me to lie to Young Master. If Young Master finds out, you will bear all the consequences! Qiao Mu was clearly going to Hong Kong to y, yet she had to mislead Young Master! Ling Xi waved his hand. Dont worry, I have someone backing me. I wont get into trouble! Ling Xi picked up his phone and smiled. Auntie, I did what you asked me to No matter how powerful Big Brother was, was he as high as the Empress Dowager? He had the empress dowager backing him up! Meanwhile, on the other side. Li Yan pursed his lips and felt his heart burning. Why couldnt that woman behave herself? Qiao Mus phone was switched off the entire time. She seemed to have deliberately cut off contact with him so that he could not reach her! Li Yan picked up the phone and dialed Yu Yiduos number. The call was quickly picked up and the other partys cheerful voice sounded, Hey, son, have you settled your rtionship? Li Yan ignored Yu Yiduos question and asked directly, Mom, I asked you to exin to Qiao Mu.. Did you go? Chapter 330 - 330: Qjao Mu Left (3) Chapter 330: Qjao Mu Left (3) Trantor: 549690339 Yu Yiduo was stunned. When did you ask me to exin? I didnt! Son, Im not criticizing you, but your mothers EQis even higher than Leifeng Pagoda. How did she give birth to a son with such a low EQ? Youre so good that youre not like me. Youre like your father. Just your IQ alone, but your EQis like a duck egg Li Yan frowned and interrupted Yu Yiduos chatter. Mom, please dont give me more trouble with your high EQ! If your daughter-inw is scared away because of you, dont even think about having grandchildren in this lifetime! These words were an undisguised threat! Yu Yiduo immediately shouted, You brat, how dare you scare your mother! If vou run awav. then chase me back. Anvwav. I onlv acknowledge Mu Mu as mv daughter-inw. Otherwise, youll be single for the rest of your life! If you continue to make a fuss like this, its not impossible for you to be a bachelor for the rest of your life! Sigh You brat, if you scare me again, Ill get your dad to beat you up! Just as Yu Yiduo finished shouting, a rough male voice sounded, Bastard, how dare you bully my wife? Hurry up ande back. Ill teach you a lesson! Who are you calling a brat? Thats my son! Honey, Im protecting you Li Yan hung up the phone when he heard the affectionate voice on the other end. She unbuttoned two buttons of her shirt in frustration and rubbed her eyebrows. Superintendent Ouyang, who was driving, looked at the mans every move through the rearview mirror and felt that something was wrong. Superintendent Ouyang immediately understood when she heard him talk about daughter-inw and grandchildren over the phone. Boss is in love! Although the man behind the car did not look good, Superintendent Ouyang could not help but say, Boss, you found sister-inw for us not long after returning to the country? This efficiency is really extraordinary! Li Yans cold gaze swept across Superintendent Ouyang, causing her to instantly feel uneasy. It was obvious that he had said something wrong! Looking at the mans expression, it seemed like that sister-inw was not very worry-free! Li Yans thin lips moved and he said coldly, Book me a flight to Hong Kong. I want to leave immediately! Ouyang was stunned. Big Brother, we havent finished our business here. What kind of person is Murong Chao? Hes full of schemes and plots in business. You have to keep an eye on him personally! Ive done everything. Whats the use of keeping you? Ill leave this matter to you! Li Yans words were so casual that Superintendent Ouyangs face fell. This was a huge deal worth tens of millions. Wasnt Boss being too irresponsible? In the past, Boss would handle everything personally and never cked off in his work. However, ever since he put all his efforts into the LSAG Group, he did not like to care about these foreign stalls! These four heads of the family were all capitalists in the country. Did they really think that they were clean businessmen? Superintendent Ouyang felt that she was like a wild child who had been let loose. She did not want to care about anyone! Sigh! Bad luck! Hong Kong, in a hotel. Qiao Mu, Guan Baobei, and Chi Xia checked into the hotel right after they got off the ne. Qiao Muzilyy on the sofa. After leaving the familiar Beijing and moving to a new city, she felt that her breathing had be much smoother, and her mood was especially rxed. Stretching her back, she tilted her head and mutteredzily, lf only I stayed here and didnt leave. Suddenly, a clear male voice with a hint of a smile sounded, You just arrived and youre already thinking about when to leave. Girls cant be so pessimistic. Qiao Mu was stunned. She raised her head to look at the door, and a man appeared in her line of sight.. Chapter 331 - 331: Mistaken for Uncle (1) Chapter 331: Mistaken for Uncle (1) Trantor: 549690339 The man smiled. His face was amiable and his facial features were well-defined. He was so handsome that people could not help but take a few more nces at him. Although Qiao Mu was already used to handsome men like Li Yan, she still felt a little absent-minded when she saw the man in front of her. This man was apletely different type from Li Yan. Li Yan often smiled, but the smile in his eyes did not reach his eyes. Even if he smiled, it could not hide his cold temperament. However, the man in front of her was different. When he smiled, he was really smiling. It was like a spring breeze, making people feel veryfortable. Qiao Mus gaze sized up the mans body. He was wearing a white shirt, business suit pants, and shiny ck leather shoes. His attire was very overpowering. Qiao Mu poked Chi Xia, who was resting with her eyes closed, and asked in a low voice, Are all the hotel waiters in Hong Kong so good-looking? Chi Xiazily lifted her eyelids. At first nce, the mans attire was indeed simr to that of a hotel waiter. However, when she looked at the brand of the clothes, the corner of her mouth twitched. She said to Qiao Mu in a very soft voice, That shirt costs five figures. Could he be a nouveau riche? Youre dressed so tacky! Qiao Mus voice was very soft, but it still reached the mans ears. He chuckled softly. Thank you forplimenting my good looks, but do I look so tacky? Qiao Mu smiled awkwardly. She was a little embarrassed that she had been overheard! Big brother! Aftering out of the washroom, Baby Guan called out to the man and introduced him to Qiao Mu and Chi Xia, This is my big brother, Guan Yunxiang. Qiao Mu met Guan Yunxiangs gaze and smiled. Hello, Big Brother Guan. Im Qiao Mu, and shes Chi Xia. Im sorry, we didnt mean to say that just now. Chi Xia nodded. Its our bad taste! Baby Guan waved her hand dismissively. Forget it, dont be so humble. Its normal for you to misunderstand. My brother always dresses in such a vulgar way, like hes selling a house. He has no taste at all! Qiao Mu couldnt help but want tough. It wouldve been fine if Baby Guan hadnt mentioned it, but now that she said it, it really looked alike! However, with that face and that refined temperament, even if it was a tacky set of clothes, it immediately set off a different vor on him. How can you insult your big brother like this? Guan Yunxiang had a helpless expression on his face, but he didnt look unhappy at all. No matter how he looked at it, he was a warm man. Guan Yunxiang looked at his watch and said gently, Lets go. Ill bring you guys around first. Youre Babys friends, so youre guests in Hong Kong. Time is tight today. I heard from Baby that you guys want toe and see the universities in Hong Kong. Ill bring you guys there tomorrow. Since he was here to rx, he naturally had to have some fun. In the afternoon, Guan Yunxiang drove the three girls around the streets and alleys of Hong Kong and ate delicious food. In the evening, the three of them were full and didnt even have dinner. It was a little early to go back to the hotel at eight oclock, so Baby Guan suggested, Brother, can you bring us to your bar to y? Children cant drink. Guan Yunxiang had just opened his mouth when he was refuted in unison, We are not children! Alter saying tnat, tne tnree or tnem 100Kea at e otner anaugnea. Guan Yunxiang shook his head helplessly. Alright, Ill take you there. But, you can only drink drinks. After reaching an agreement, the few of them went to the bar. After arriving at the bar, Guan Yunxiang ordered three cocktails. Qiao Mu looked at the color of the cocktail and recalled thest time she had a cocktail, Li Yan was right beside her.. Chapter 332 - 332: Mistaken for Uncle (2) Chapter 332: Mistaken for Uncle (2) Trantor: 549690339 At that time, she was angry with Li Yan because he misunderstood her for leaking the design proposal. She was very angry and had a cold war with him. That night, a woman approached Li Yan. She could not stand it anymore and was very unhappy. At that time, she did not understand why, but now that she thought about it, she had already unknowingly treated Li Yan as her man! She did not allow other women to get close to her man. He was hers alone! However, he already belonged to someone else! He had a fiance. He had nothing to do with her anymore! At the thought of this, Qiao Mu felt a sour feeling in her heart. She raised her head and downed a cocktail in one gulp. Guan Yunxiang nced at Qiao Mu and took away the empty ss in her hand. He handed her a ss of champagne and said, You should drink this. Qiao Mu raised her ss and downed it again. She smiled at Guan Yunxiang and said, Actually, I can hold my liquor very well, unlike Xiaxia. After she got drunk, she vomited all over a strange man. Every time that man saw her, he looked like he had stepped on shit. Its funny just thinking about it. Qiao Mu, shut up! Chi Xias eyes widened. Could she not mention her past? Qiao Mu refused to give up and said to Baby Guan, Baby, youve seen that man before. Hes Su Chen, Lu Jingzhis second brother! Baby Guan nodded. I know him. Oh my god, Xiaxia, youre lucky to have puked all over a handsome guy! I want to vomit all over Lu Jingzhi too. Hes a germaphobe. If he doesnt mind being vomited by me, he must have fallen in love with me! Chi Xia was speechless. Qiao Mu was speechless. How much did this child love Lu Jingzhi? Chi Xias phone rang. It was an unknown number. She answered the call with a Hello , but the other party did not reply. Who is it? Speak! Chi Xia asked impatiently, but the other party still did not reply and hung up. Harassment call? Qiao Mu asked. Yeah, Ive been getting callstely. I hate it! Just as Chi Xia finished speaking, another call came in. She answered the call and said fiercely, 1 say, is there any point in making harassing calls? Say something if you have the ability! There was still no sound from the other party. Just as Chi Xia was about to hang up, she heard a familiar male voice, Xiaxia Its me. Chi Xia froze with her phone in her hand and her mouth was still open. After a while, she hung up the call as if nothing had happened. Qiao Mu nced at Chi Xia. You can just block him directly. Why waste your energy? Then, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia toasted each other one ss at a time. After that, Baby Guan joined in, and the three of them drank to their hearts content. After Qiao Mu downed a few sses of wine, she felt a little dizzy and got up to go to the bathroom. He was just boasting about his alcohol tolerance, but now he was dizzy. She walked out of the bathroom with her head lowered and identally bumped into a tall figure. He felt dizzy and suddenly smelled a minty fragrance. This familiar smellQiao Mu instantly froze. Uncle She subconsciously called out to him. When she looked up, she did not see the familiar face. Guan Yunxiang looked down at her with a smile in his eyes. Uncle? Qiao Mu, Im not your uncle. Qiao Mu suddenly sobered up and immediately took a step back to put some distance between them. Big Brother Guan, Im sorry. I got the wrong person. You got the wrong person? Your uncle? This is the first time Ive heard someone call me their rtive when theyre drunk.. Chapter 333 - 333: Wanting Freedom (1) Chapter 333: Wanting Freedom (1) Trantor: 549690339 The corners of Qiao Mus lips twitched, and she forced a smile back, but she felt very down. She clearly wanted to get rid of Li Yan and did not want to get entangled with someone elses fianc. However, she was thinking about him when she was not paying attention! Qiao Mu, when did you be so useless! The same man had suffered twice and still did not learn his lesson! Guan Yunxiang looked at the conflicted face of the woman in front of him and smiled. Alright, dont just stand there like a fool. Youre quite simr to Baby. No wonder you became friends in such a short time. When Qiao Mu saw Guan Yunxiangs extremely gentle expression when he mentioned treasures, the haze in her heart gradually swept away, and she blurted out without thinking, Big Brother Guan, dont tell me you have a sisterplex? Guan Yunxiang was speechless. Seeing that he didnt say anything, Qiao Mu took it that he had tacitly agreed and patted his shoulder in understanding. Its not embarrassing to have a sisterplex. Baby is both handsome and beautiful, and can be both a tomboy and a sweet girl. Its normal to have a sisterplex. Guan Yunxiang turned his head to look at the little hand on his shoulder. His phoenix eyes narrowed, and his eyes shed. Soon, they became gentle. No one had ever patted her shoulder so casually. After that, Qiao Mus mind gradually cleared up and she stopped drinking. On the other hand, Chi Xia drank quite a bit. After returning to the hotel, Chi Xia and Guan Baobei were sound asleep in the suite, but Qiao Mu could not fall asleep no matter what. She took Chi Xias phone and logged into her WeChat. She thought about how she had topromise in the Qiao family all these years. She thought about how Li Yan already had a fiance but still pestered her endlessly. She thought about what Li Zheng had said to herShe took a deep breath and typed in a line of words in her Moments. I want freedom! The next day, Guan Yunxiang brought Qiao Mu and the others to the University of Hong Kong. The luxurious building was not inferior to Capital University at all. The campus was open for visitors, and Chi Xia was taking pictures of the school. Qiao Mu did not bring her phone with her, so she remembered that she had left her camera in the car. After asking Guan Yunxiang for the car keys, she turned around to retrieve her camera. She took the camera and happily took photos of the scenery outside the school. Just as she was about to enter the school, she turned around and bumped into the person behind her. The fragrance of mint wafted up to the tip of Qiao Mus nose, causing her to momentarily lose focus. Guan Yunxiang and Li Yan were actually using the same mens perfume. Every time she smelled this scent, she would think that it was Li Yan beside her. Sighing, she smiled nonchntly and looked up. Big Brother Guan, why do you always block my Before he could finish, his words were stuck in his throat. Qiao Mu stared at the man in front of her in astonishment, as if she could not believe what she was seeing. She blinked several times before she was sure that she was not seeing things! The face in front of him was indeed Li Yan! Of course, Qiao Mu knew that it was not a coincidence. This man clearly knew her whereabouts, and she was being watched closely by him! His first reaction was to turn around and run. However, before he could even lift his foot, his wrist was grabbed. Li Yan pursed his lips and stared at the face that he had not seen for a few days. Although it had only been a few days, her chubby face had be thin. She was already very thin. Ever since she got together with him, he had clearly fattened her up bit by bit, but she had actually lost weight so quickly! When he saw her from afar, she was holding a camera and happily taking photos. The smile on her face was bright and bright. But now? The moment she saw him, her expression changed! Chapter 334 - 334: Want Freedom (2) Chapter 334: Want Freedom (2) Trantor: 549690339 This strong contrast made his chest feel heavy. How could this woman provoke him? What did she just say? Brother Guan? She was actually calling someone else affectionately! She was clearly smiling happily when she called out to that man. However, when she saw that it was him, her smile immediately disappeared! Did she not want to see him that much? Qiao Mu subconsciously tried to shake him off when he grabbed her wrist. However, she could not shake him off no matter how hard she tried. Her face was flushed red as she red at him fiercely. Li Yan, let go! Li Yans thin lips were pursed into a thin line. The curve of his lips indicated that his anger had almost reached its peak. A simple action and sentence from her was enough to set off a huge wave in his heart! Very good! When they met again, the only thing she said to him was to let go of her! Hisrge hand held her wrist tightly and said coldly, Come home with me! Come home with me? If she had heard such words before, she might have been a little touched. However, at this moment, she felt that it was ridiculous! She had no home. His home was not hers at all! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth in pain. Im not going back! At this moment, a voice came from behind him. Qiao Mu, why didnt youe back after taking your camera for so long Guan Yunxiang paused when he turned the corner and saw this scene. He looked at the two people not far away. His gaze fell on the two peoples hands that were pulled together, and he was slightly stunned. The mans face was covered with ayer of coldness. His entire body seemed to be emitting anger, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by a few degrees. The anger on the girls face was no less than hers. She seemed to despise the hand that was holding her wrist. She wanted to shake it off but it was useless. Guan Yunxiang walked forward with a smile on his face. He gently extended his hand to Li Yan. Boss Li, long time no see. Li Yans long and narrow eyes narrowed coldly. He finally understood who Qiao Mu was referring to when she called him Big Brother Guan ! Qiao Mu was slightly surprised when she saw Guan Yunxiangs calm andposed expression when he faced Li Yan. In her opinion, very few people could be so calm in front of Li Yan. Moreover, Guan Yunxiang seemed to be a gentle and warm man. His personality was not lethal. However, when he stood in front of Li Yan, he did not feel inferior at all. Li Yan didnt return Guan Yunxiangs hand that had shed past him. Instead, he said coldly, his tone filled with hostility, Master Guan, could it be that all your business has been snatched away and youre so free that youre here to stroll around the campus? Guan Yunxiang smiled faintly. We seem to be the same. Why is Boss Li so free toe to my territory to y? Li Yan narrowed his malicious eyes. Im here to pick up my woman! These words were filled with the right to dere and possess. Every word was telling the other party that Qiao Mu was his woman! Qiao Mu red fiercely at Li Yan and tried to shake her arm off him, but his grip tightened. Li Yan ignored Guan Yunxiang. He stared at Qiao Mu and repeated, Qiao Mu,e home with me! His tone sounded like he was discussing something, but it was also very forceful. Qiao Mu knew that no matter how she resisted, it would be useless. She bit her lip tightly and did not give him any response. Her attitude of not giving in at all exined everything! Such a performance had sessfully angered Li Yan. Ill say it again. Come home with me! Ill say it ten times. I wont, I wont! [P.S.: I need to finish updating 20 chapters before 12 0clock. Tomorrows update will be in the afternoon. Suying doesnt have any manuscripts saved. Recently, I can only write and update at the same time. Let me rx for a few days and save up the manuscripts. When the timees, the daily update volume will be released.] Also, this is just a small transition. Its not a torture. There will be a turn for the better soon..] Chapter 335 - 335: Qiao Mu, Come Home With Me (1) Chapter 335: Qiao Mu, Come Home With Me (1) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans dark eyes darkened. Qiao Mu raised her chin and red at him. Even in the face of that stormy face, she still resisted recklessly. Guan Yunxiang looked at Qiao Mus slender arms. Under Li Yansrge palm, they were faintly red, and the joints of Li Yans fingers had already turned blue. One could imagine how much force he had used. It was as if he would not let go of her even if he crushed her bones. This was the first time Guan Yunxiang had seen someone treat this bloodthirsty man with such an attitude. Suddenly, she was curious about the rtionship between the two of them. Who was Li Yan? In the business world, there was nothing that he could not handle. However, he was so angry because of a woman. This Qiao Mu was even more interesting. Not only did she resist, but she was also determined to die. Her slender wrist was extremely fragile, but no matter how much strength Li Yan used, she would not yield. If this continued, Qiao Mus wrist would probably be broken. Guan Yunxiang took a step forward and calmly raised his hand at Li Yan again. Boss Li, Ive been holding my hand here for a long time. Shouldnt you be polite and shake my hand? Qiao Mu watched as Guan Yunxiang stubbornly raised his hand. Even if Li Yan did not respond to him, he still calmly waited for him to shake hands with him. If Li Yan wanted to shake hands with Guan Yunxiang, he would have to let go of her wrist. This action was obviously to help her out of the predicament. Qiao Mu looked at Guan Yunxiang gratefully. It warmed her heart that someone was willing to help her in front of Li Yan. Li Yan looked up coldly with a gloomy expression. Master Guan, I didnt expect you to be so nosy! Young Master Li, you must be joking. Its just that youre being rude to a girl. Im afraid youre too ungentlemanly. You can be swift and decisive in business, but using the same method on women will only backfire. Guan Yunxiang smiled. Thank you for your reminder, Master Guan. However, how I treat my woman is my own business! Li Yans patience waspletely exhausted. He dragged Qiao Mu and was about to leave. Young Master Li, Qiao Mu came with me, Guan Yunxiang spoke again. You should ask for my opinion if you want to take her away like this, right? Li Yans lips curled up coldly and he smiled darkly. Did Master Guan not understand what I said? Shes my woman. I dont need to report to anyone where I take her! Qiao Mu could feel the murderous aura emanating from Li Yans body. It was as if Guan Yunxiang was going to tear him apart if he continued to pester him. She couldnt drag Guan Yunxiang into this because of her own matters. People who offended Li Yan usually didnt have a good ending. Even if Guan Yunxiang seemed to have a strong background, she couldnt drag him into this. Guan Yunxiang still wanted to say something, but Qiao Mu looked at him and forced a smile. Big Brother Guan, thank you. Im fine. Help me tell Baby. Guan Yunxiang looked at Qiao Mus stubborn little face. Alright, contact me if you need anything. You dont know my number, so you can look for Baby. Qiao Mu nodded gratefully. Li Yan narrowed his dark eyes gloomily when he heard her address him as Big Brother Guan. He suppressed his anger as he watched the interaction between the two of them and dragged Qiao Mu into the car withrge strides. Outside the car, Guan Yunxiang watched the car leave. The signature smile on his face disappeared, and a trace of interest shed in his eyes. It turned out that a man like Li Yan had a woman that he cared about. The rtionship between these two people really made him very curious.. Chapter 336 - 336: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (2) Chapter 336: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (2) Trantor: 549690339 In the car, the atmosphere was gloomy. Qiao Mu felt that the pain on her wrist had already gone numb, and she couldnt take it anymore and said, You can let go of me now! Im already in the car. I cant run away! For some reason, Qiao Mu felt that she was tired of living. She actually dared to defy Li Yan so fearlessly. The mans face was dark and scary, but the unwillingness to admit defeat in his heart did not allow her to lower her head. What right did she have to lower her head to him? She had to resist him to the end even if she had to die! Li Yan felt like he was going to go crazy from anger. The anger in his chest was so suppressed that he could not bear it. This woman really wanted to anger him to death! He let go of her hand and his gaze fell on her red wrist. His eyes narrowed and his tone was filled with anger. Why didnt you say it was painful earlier?! Her wrist was so red that it looked like it was dripping blood. It made Li Yan frown. She had been resisting him just now, and the strength in his hand had increased uncontrobly. He had actually injured her wrist like this! Qiao Mu carefully raised her injured wrist with one hand to protect it. She curled her lips coldly. Young Master Li, dont you know how much strength you used? So youre ming me for hurting me? Li Yan pursed his lips and was rendered speechless by her words. After a while, he asked coldly, What happened to Guan Yunxiang? Why are you with him? Qiao Mu lowered her head and did not respond. Speak! Its none of your business who Im with, right? Its the same as whoever youre with has nothing to do with me! Li Yan was provoked by her words, and his chest hurt faintly. Qiao Mu, do you have to go against me like this? I wouldnt dare! She said she didnt dare, but her tone and attitude didnt seem like she didnt dare at all. Qiao Mus wrist was burning with pain, and she could feel the pain seeping into her bones. However, no matter how painful it was, it could notpare to the pain in her heart! She had finally adjusted her state of mind and did not want to be troubled by his matters. However, in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of her and she had no choice but to face those terrible things! The car arrived at the hotel. In order to prevent Li Yan from using violence again, Qiao Mu could only consciously follow him into the hotel room. Inside the hotel, Lei Yi had already rushed over. However, if he told the young master the details now, he would probably lose his life. He could only pretend that he didnt know anything. Everything was done by Ling Xi! Lei Yi sent the first aid kit to the two of thems room. In order not to get into trouble, he quickly left the scene. After entering the room, Qiao Mu stood motionless at the door. Li Yan walked forward with a dark face and wanted to pull her to the sofa to sit down. However, her arm moved as if she was disgusted and afraid, refusing to let him touch her. Clenching his fists tightly, he gave up on touching her. He stood beside the sofa and said to her,Come and sit down. Qiao Mu walked over and sat down. She didnt dare to use her life topete with him. The pain on her wrist reminded her that if she disobeyed this man and he went crazy again, it wouldnt just be a small injury on her wrist! After sitting down on the sofa, Li Yan opened the first aid kit and took the medicine and the sofa. He lifted Qiao Mus hand and applied the medicine on her. In just a short while, her wrist had already be red and swollen. One could imagine how ruthless he had been to her! If she refused to ept him, he would be provoked by her until he lost control, but wouldnt he push her further and further away by doing so? [PS: Ill update two chapters first. I wont update the chapters one by one. Ill update all eight chapters at the same time in the evening..] Chapter 337 - 337: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (3) Chapter 337: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (3) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan frowned as he gently wiped the potion. The medicine was applied to the red and swollen area, and it seeped into the skin in a stimting manner. A burning pain spread. Qiao Mu couldnt control herself for a moment, and she took a deep breath. Li Yan looked up at her. Does it hurt? His tone was low and carried a hint of concern. It waspletely different from his previous fierce and angry attitude. He suddenly became gentle. Qiao Mu bit her lip. He had always been like this. 1C1e would give her a p and then give her a sweet date to eat, treating her like a pet. When he wanted to treat her well, he would smile at her, but when he wasnt interested in treating her well, he would act like he wanted to eat her up! Qiao Mu bit her lip and said stiffly, lt doesnt hurt! It was as if the heavens were punishing her for lying. The burning sensation enveloped her entire wrist, causing her to clench her fists tightly in pain. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew against her wrist. Qiao Mu lowered her head and was stunned. Li Yan had his head lowered as he blew on her wrist. Qiao Mu only felt her chest tighten, and an indescribable emotion assaulted her face. She thought of when she was young. Li Yan fell while ying basketball and scraped his knee. She blew air on his wound and said that it would not hurt anymore. At that time, he had even teased her, saying that this was a crooked logic and that it had no effect at all. She was not convinced and kept blowing at his wound, asking him if it was no longer painful. She would not stop until it was effective. Then, she lost her bnce and identally leaned forward. Her lips were on his injured knee as she kissed him. His knees were smeared with purple medicine. With this kiss, the medicine directly rubbed onto her mouth, making her look very embarrassed. Finally, he admitted that this method could indeed reduce the pain. At the thought of this, Qiao Mu felt the cool breeze on her wrist intensify. Her heart ached as she watched the mans every move. Her big brother had passed away a long time ago. This man was her uncle. Perhaps soon, he wouldnt even be his uncle anymore! He was just a stranger who wouldnt have a future with her! Qiao Mu moved her arm, wanting to retract it, but she was stopped by the man. Li Yan held her palm and reminded her, Put on the gauze first. The man in front of her waspletely different from the man who was in a rage just now. One was delicate and gentle, and every move was careful, afraid of hurting her. The other was like a wild beast, ignoring her feelings! Qiao Mu watched as he carefully bandaged his wound. Her nose turned sour and her eyes became moist. He didnt know if it was his wound or his heart that hurt. After the wound was bandaged, Qiao Mu silently withdrew her hand and sat there with her head lowered, not making a sound. Li Yan looked at the little woman in front of him. Her entire body was exuding a sense of alienation, refusing to let him take a step closer. He sighed and said helplessly, Qiao Mu,e home with me. No! Her tone was still stubborn. She only came here to rx and y for a few days. She would naturally go back before school started. He was not even willing to give her such a little freedom! Li Yans eyes darkened. Do you really want to stay here? You did everything you could toe to Hong Kong to study behind my back, and now youve finally achieved your goal. Do you want to get rid of the Qiao family or me? Qiao Mu was stunned, and she raised her head to look at him in astonishment. She came to Hong Kong to study? Her n had long been crushed by him. How could she achieve her goal? Could it beDid he think that she came to Hong Kong to study? Chapter 338 - 338: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (4) Chapter 338: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (4) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu vaguely realized that this man was so angry because he had misunderstood her purpose foring to Hong Kong. He had really overestimated her ability. He had blocked her way, so how could she leave whenever she wanted? There was no longer any exnation between them. It was his business how he wanted to think of her. So what if he exined it clearly? It still couldnt erase the fact that he had betrayed her! Qiao Mu stubbornly refused to reply. Li Yans face was cold. Qiao Mu, do you want freedom so badly? Want freedom? Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment before she instantly understood. He had seen her WeChat Moments. The man took out his phone and opened WeChat. He clicked on his Moments and found the message she sentst night. He threw his phone on the coffee table in front of her. Only God knew how he felt when he saw this message! This woman was constantly thinking of getting rid of him and gaining freedom! Qiao Mu looked at the phone screen. The man raised his hand and tapped on the sentence on the screen with his slender fingers. His lips curled up coldly. You wanted to show me this sentence? If you want freedom, you can tell me directly. Theres no need to beat around the bush! What did he mean by that? Could it be that if she told him, he would fulfill her wish? Then, Li Yans voice rang out again. Im telling you right here, youre delusional! You can only be mine for the rest of your life. You can only have freedom if youre with me! Dont even think about leaving me! Qiao Mus chest stiffened. The tiny bit of expectation that had initially surfaced waspletely shattered by Li Yans words! Her brain must have been kicked by a donkey to think that this man would be merciful and give her freedom! Qiao Mus heart was filled with uneasiness. She red at him, unwilling to give up. Li Yan, you dont have the right! Dont you think its ridiculous to mention the word power in front of me? If you want to leave me, pay me back the money you owe me first! Li Yan was really furious with her, that was why he used money to tie her up. Qiao Mu clenched her fists and sneered. Youll let me off after I pay you back this money? I think your father will be happy to help me pay back this money! Her father wanted her to leave him, so she could state any condition she wanted. It was only five million yuan, and her father would definitely help her without blinking! Li Yan frowned. My father looked for you? What did he say to you? I have no obligation to deliver the message! Li Yan immediately felt that something was wrong. He sent a message to his mother to exin to Qiao Mu, but she did not know about this and did not receive his message. On the other hand, his father went to Qiao Mu and said something to her. Thinking of Li Zhengs feelings for Qiao Jiannan, Li Yan did not need to think to know that that man must have gotten involved in his matters! Li Yan was deted. He looked at the petite woman in front of him and said, Qiao Mu, this is all a misunderstanding. Qiao Mu snorted coldly, looking as if she didnt believe it at all. Li Yan sighed and rubbed the top of her head with hisrge hand. His tone was no longer as angry as before. Ill give you a few days. If you want to y here, Ill apany you. You can do whatever you want. Once youre done ying, well go home. After ying enough, he would go home. These words were so considerate. If it werent for this series of events, Qiao Mu would really be moved to death. In her current situation, she had had enough fun and was going back to her hellish life, right? No, life in hell had already begun.. Chapter 339 - 339: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (5) Chapter 339: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (5) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus vacation life instantly turned into a prison life under surveince. His every move could not escape Li Yans surveince. After having lunch in the hotel, Li Yan looked at the listless little woman and said, You want to go to Hong Kong? I didnt manage to go shopping in the morning. Ill apany youter. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Young Master Li is really considerate. Arent you afraid that others will be jealous when you treat me so well? Someone else? Who dares? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. His attitude was as if no one could stop him from being good to her. However, in Qiao Mus eyes, she only felt extremely disgusted. He was really shameless. He had a fiance, but he still treated her well. Thinking about it, it made sense. His fiance could not control him. It seemed that his fiance was only in name. Even if it was in name, it was something that many women envied. To her, it was something that she could not touch at all! When they arrived at Hong Kong University, Qiao Mu entered the campus. Li Yan followed behind her, keeping a certain distance between them. Qiao Mu took a series of photos of the school, but she was not in the mood to appreciate them. She would slowly appreciate the photos when she was in a better mood in the future! Li Yan looked at the little woman in front of him. Although she was taking pictures non-stop, there was no sign of happiness on her face. It waspletely different from when he saw her in the morning. At that time, she was smiling happily. She looked at the camera lens and sized up the fresh scene in front of her. She could not hide the smile on her lips. Was she that unhappy to be with him? This woman, what did he have to do to make her be with him willingly? While Qiao Mu was taking photos, she heard people passing by whispering to each other. She turned her head and saw the girls who were passing by secretly staring at Li Yan, whose face was red. Wow, hes so handsome. Why is there such a handsome guy from our school? Could it be our senior? I think its more likely that hes a professor. How can a mature man like him be a student? Thats right, thats right. I didnt expect Hong Kong University to have such a handsome professor. Im so happy to be able to study at Hong Kong University! Qiao Mu snorted. Thats right, he was indeed a professor. Call Beast! With a good appearance, there was no need to worry about people being smitten. However, no matter how good-looking she was, what was the use? Her character was bad and extremely bad! Li Yan noticed that Qiao Mu was looking in his direction, so he strode toward her. This action made the girls around him even more excited. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Then, she saw a girl mustering her courage to approach Li Yan, thinking that she was going to greet him. Li Yans cold expression was a huge psychological test for her to greet him. But He did not greet her as he expected. He only saw the girl pass by Li Yan and identally bump into Li Yans shoulder. Her delicate body fell to the ground. Li Yan stopped in his tracks. Before he could react, the other party waved his hand sincerely. Its okay. I know you didnt do it on purpose. Can you help me up? What a low-IQway to strike up a conversation. It was really a mistake to try to attract Li Yans attention in this way. Qiao Mu watched the scene unfold, but Li Yan expressionlessly nced at the woman sitting on the ground. His brows did not even twitch. It was as if he had seen a piece or trasn on tne ground ana was not Interested In Demg a good citizen. He threw the trash into the trash can and walked away in the next second. The girl sitting on the ground had an ugly expression on her face.. The people who were watching the show at the side snickered and praised the man for being too handsome! Chapter 340 - 340: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (6) Chapter 340: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (6) Trantor: 549690339 This kind of man didnt have any pity for women. How was he handsome? Li Yan walked up to Qiao Mu, and his expression softened a little. Are you done filming? No! Qiao Mu threw out these two words and continued walking forward. All sorts of envious and jealous gazes were cast from the surroundings. Qiao Mu was very innocent. She was the victim, alright? After that, Qiao Mu took photos and strolled around aimlessly. The man behind her did not disturb her because he was on the phone the entire time. They were discussing something very seriously and seemed very busy. Qiao Mu, who was at the side, said very considerately, Young Master Li, if youre busy, you can go back to Beijing. You can get someone else to monitor me. You dont have to do such tiring work yourself. Li Yans face darkened. He was ying with her, but she thought he was spying on her! Keep a close eye on Murong Chao. Thats all for now. Li Yan said into the phone. Then, he hung up. He looked up at her. What did you call me? He kept calling him Young Master Li. It was so stiff and emotionless that it made him feel very awkward. Young Master Li! Li Yan frowned. Change the way I address you! Qiao Mu did not think much of it and continued to take photos without giving the man any response. Li Yan unhappily hooked his arm around Qiao Mus waist and pinned her in front of him. I told you to change the way I address you. Let me go! She pushed him hard. asionally, people would pass by. He was thick-skinned and did not care about his image, but she could not do it! What did you call me? Li Yan narrowed his eyes and hooked her chin. He inched his face closer to her. I have the patience to wait for you to change the way you address me. Lets continue this stalemate. Qiao Mu was speechless. Shameless! Bastard! When the man spoke, the hot breath from his mouth hit her face, making her blush unwillingly. She clearly rejected him from the bottom of her heart, but why was she blushing?! Useless! She pushed him hard. His tall body was gentle and unmoving. He hooked his arm around her waist and she could not break free. Li Yan, are you done yet? she said angrily in a low voice. Call me like before! Although he didnt like the way she called him uncle at first, he had already gotten used to it after being called uncle for so long. Every time she called him softly, he felt veryfortable. Qiao Mu snorted coldly. In the past? How long ago was the past? In the past, she still called him Big Brother! Seeing that the man refused to let go, Qiao Mu finally gave up resisting and called out stiffly, Uncle! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, and his cold face softened a little. Be good. Dont call me that rudely in the future. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes. Did he really treat her like her uncle and demand her respect? Pervert! After leaving Hong Kong, Qiao Mu left without saying goodbye. Chi wanted to give Chi Xia a call. She reached out her hand to Li Yan. Let me use your phone. Li Yan handed her the phone and she picked it up to call Chi Xia. Xiaxia, its me. Qiao Mu answered. Then, Chi Xias worried voice rang out, Mu Mu, I heard from Brother Guan that you were taken away by Li Yan? Are you alright? Did he do anything to you? Qiao Mu felt much better after hearing Chi Xias concern. She smiled and said, lm fine. I just cant y with you guys anymore Are you guys going for a feast tonight? Thats great. I want to go tooForget it, you guys eat. After hanging up the phone, Qiao Mu felt listless. She thought about how peaceful Chi Xia and the others were living, and then she thought about herself. She had to face an iceberg all the time, so she could not muster up any energy at all! [I couldnt help but update four chapters in advance. There are still four chapters left. Itll be evening..] Chapter 341 - 341: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (7) Chapter 341: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me (7) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan listened to the conversation just now. When he saw the listless look on the little womans face, he said calmly,What do you want to eat? Ill bring you there. I dont want to eat. Qiao Mu mumbled, not in a good mood. Didnt you say that you wanted to have a big meal on the phone just now? Li Yan asked coldly with a sullen face. Qiao Mu really wanted to say that it depended on who she ate with! Eating with him would make her lose her appetite! However, he did not dare to say it. It wasnt easy for this man to keep his temper in check. She didnt want to get into trouble. When she had to endure, she had to endure! I want to have dinner with Xiaxia and the others. Qiao Mu hesitated for a moment, but she still said it. Looking at the mans cold expression, she immediately said to herself, know you definitely wont agree. You cant wait for me to cut off contact with the outside world and be monitored by you all day! Li Yans eyes darkened and he looked displeased. When did I say that I would cut off your connection with the outside world? I didnt treat you as a criminal, but youre self-aware! Humph! Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Thats what you think! Chi Xia is here too? Li Yan asked. Qiao Mu nodded and said in a rather unpleasant tone, I was only caught by you because I was with Chi Xia and Baby Guan. Do you think I cane to Hong Kong to y by myself? Baby Guan? She must be Guan Yunxiangs sister. So she was with Guan Yunxiang because of Baby Guan! However, Li Yan immediately caught the main point. She said that she was here to have fun in Hong Kong! Could it be that he wasnt here to be an exchange student? Li Yans gaze swept across Lei Yi who was driving. Lei Yi instantly felt a great pressure! What was Young Master Li looking at him for? His original words were to tell him that Qiao Mu had gone to Hong Kong. He didnt say anything, and he was the one who thought of everything that would happen next. Come to think of it, Young Master Li was really patient. He mistakenly thought that Qiao Mu was here to attend school, but after meeting her for so long, he actually didnt manage to get the truth out of her. Madam Li came up with this move to provoke Young Master into taking the initiative to take a step forward and confess to Qiao Mu, thus breaking all misunderstandings. However, did Madam Li really understand her son? Didnt she know that her son was so coquettish that what he did waspletely out of her n? The two of them were in a stalemate for the whole day. Miss Qiao was really amazing. She was actually able to make Young Master Li lower his head under such circumstances. Whether it was thepany in the country or the business abroad, they were all busy. There were frequent idents overseas, but this old man just kept apanying this young miss regardless. In Lei Yis eyes, this was a new record for a good man! Young Master, weve arrived at the hotel, Lei Yi said as the car stopped. Qiao Mu was the first to open the car door and was about to alight when she was stopped by Li Yan. She turned back to look at him. What was he doing now? Didnt you want to have dinner with Chi Xia and the rest? the man asked calmly. Qiao Mu was stunned, and her heart leaped with joy. She almost revealed her happiness, but she quickly concealed it and probed, You agree to let me eat? Yes. The mans response made Qiao Mu instantly burst with joy. She was d that she had not reached the point where she was isted from the world! After Qiao Mu told them the location, the car continued driving. Li Yan knew that this little thing was actually very happy. She was very happy just by asking her to eat. Although she concealed her happiness and did not want to show it in front of him, he could see at a nce that her big ck eyes had suddenly turned from listless to energetic. He still liked her like this! Chapter 342 - 342: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me 8 Chapter 342: Qjao Mu, Come Home With Me 8 Trantor: 549690339 On the way there, Qiao Mu called Chi Xia beforehand and made an appointment to have a meal together before rushing to her destination. When they arrived at the hotel, the sky was already dark. Qiao Mu opened the car door and was about to alight when she saw the man beside her alight as well. You dont have toe down, she said, staring at him nkly. I can go in myself. It meant that he had arrived and he could leave. Li Yan did not stop. He got out of the car and closed the door. He looked at her as if nothing had happened. Did I say that Ill only let you eat alone? So, he was going to have dinner with her? Qiao Mu was still in a daze when Li Yan walked to her side and held her hand as they walked into the hotel. She subconsciously wanted to shake him off, but she failed after two attempts. Her wrist was still hurting, so she could only give up resisting and let him hold her hand as she walked in. Outside the private room, there was a man and two women. Upon seeing Qiao Mu, Baby Guan was the first to speak. Mu Mu, youre finally here. Youre too unreliable to leave halfway. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Yan beside Qiao Mu. The three people in the room were stunned for a moment. Qiao Mu felt the change in the atmosphere, but Li Yan held her hand as if nothing had happened and led her into the room. When his gaze swept past Guan Yunxiang, a hint of coldness shed across his eyes. Do you mind if I join you? Mind! These words were what Qiao Mu was thinking. Guan Yunxiang smiled faintly. Young Master Li really came uninvited. I came to Hong Kong to apany my woman. Since she came to eat, I naturally have to apany her. After a pause, Li Yans lips curled up. Tonights meal is on me. Chi Xia noticed that Qiao Mus wrist was bandaged and asked, Mu Mu, what happened to your wrist? Qiao Mu smiled. Im fine. I was hurt by someone. Its not serious. He had just left and was already injured. It was obvious who had caused this injury. Chi Xia knew that it was Li Yan, but she frowned as if she did not know anything about it. Whos so cruel? Does he have violent tendencies? This is too much! Chi Xia then looked at Li Yan. Young Master Li, you didnt even take good care of Mu Mu. Since you cant, why dont you return Mu Mu to us? Li Yans sharp eyes swept across Chi Xia. He had thought that Qiao Mus ssmate was not bad, but at this moment, he felt that this person was really too much of a hindrance! Qiao Mu wanted tough. These words were too well said, but unfortunately, Li Yan did not buy it. Li Yan curled his lips and raised his eyebrows. When did she belong to you? Whats with the return? This man was constantly announcing his ownership. Chi Xia gave up arguing. She could not afford to offend Young Master Li! Baby Guan did not know about theplicated rtionship between Qiao Mu and Li Yan. She asked Chi Xia in a low voice, Isnt Li Yan Qiao Mus uncle? Thest time I saw them, they were pretty good. Why did Mumu seem so unhappy? They used to be on good terms, but now that were no longer friends, the injury on Mu Mus wrist was caused by Li Yan. Hes such a bully! Chi Xia said angrily. Baby Guan frowned. She had initially weed Li Yan since he was Lu Jinzzhis older brother. However, so what if they were close? She despised men who were violent to women the most. She would cklist them! When the menu was brought over, Guan Yunxiang took it and handed it to Qiao Mu. What do you want to eat? Take a look. Baby Guan held her chin and deliberately provoked him.Brother, youre too biased. Your biological sister is still here.. Why do you only have Mu Mu in your heart? Chapter 343 - 343: Other Than Her, He Had No Other Woman (1) Chapter 343: Other Than Her, He Had No Other Woman (1) Trantor: 549690339 Guan Yunxiang smiled faintly. Youre even jealous of your own friend. If you care so much about your brother, then dump your fianc and apany your brother! I dont want to apany a bachelor like you! As she spoke, Baby Guan looked at Qiao Mu. Mumu, my big brother is still single! These words were suggestive. Qiao Muughed. Guan Yunxiang really had a serious sisterplex, to actually not allow his younger sister to get married. Li Yans eyes darkened when he saw the smile on Qiao Mus face. This woman was smiling so happily in front of Guan Yunxiang! Guan Yunxiang looked at Li Yan and said, Young Master Li, I heard that youre discussing business with Murong Chao. Instead of keeping an eye on his whereabouts, youre here ying around. You really dont have to worry about Murong Chaos character. Li Yans lips curled up slightly. In the business world, I dont trust anyones character, including you, Master Guan! Qiao Mu silently listened to their conversation and finally understood that the two of them had business dealings. It was no wonder Guan Yunxiang was so calm and collected when he faced Li Yan. It seemed that Guan Yunxiang had a powerful background. Looking at his calm appearance, it was really hard to tell. Guan Yunxiang smiled nonchntly. If thats the case, why are you still so free to stay here with your woman? Dont tell me shell run away if you dont look at her? Li Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Qiao Mu. Do you know how to run? Qiao Mu was stunned when the topic was suddenly thrown to Qiao Mu. Of course she would run, even if the chances of her escaping were minuscule! However, she definitely couldnt say that directly. It wouldnt do her any good to gain Young Master Lis face. She met Li Yans gaze and said unwillingly, No! Li Yans lips curled up as he nced at Guan Yunxiang. Master Guan, youre overthinking. Guan Yunxiang smiled without saying a word. It was obvious that Qiao Mu was unwilling to be with him, yet he still acted as if nothing had happened. He really admired this man! After the main course ended, Baby Guan ordered three portions of ice cream. When it was served, Qiao Mus portion was directly put aside by Li Yan and left out in the cold. Qiao Mu was unhappy. Why arent you letting me eat? Li Yan calcted the time and said calmly, Your body cant eat cold food. Sensing Li Yans gaze sweeping downwards, Qiao Mu immediately understood that he was hinting that her period was about to arrive! Her period had always been punctual. It was the same date every month, and there was not much difference between before and after. Li Yan actually remembered it! However, wasnt he not here yet? There were still a few days left! Seeing Chi Xia and Baby Guan enjoying their meal, Qiao Mu raised her hand to take it, but Li Yan stopped her. Too much! Baby Guan saw this and continued to stir up trouble. Young Master Li, youre being ungentlemanly by treating Mumu like this. You wont even let her have an ice cream. If Lu Jingzhi treats me like this, I will kick him and teach him a lesson. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. Indeed, a tough woman was different. However, if anyone dared toy a hand on Li Yan, there would only be one oue-death! Li Yan nced at Baby Guan coldly. He took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Jingzhi, Get your fiance back to Beijing immediately! When Lu Jingzhi saw the text message, he was very puzzled. Why was this man so involved in his fiances matters? He had finally gotten rid of that woman and had a few days of peace. Wasnt she deliberately making things difficult for him? Lu Jingzhi called Lei Yi and asked about the situation. Then, he understood that Baby Guan was with Qiao Mu and had be a third wheel! Lu Jingzhi had no choice but to call Baby Guan. When are youing back? You miss me? Baby Guan was stunned.. Chapter 344 - 344: Other Than Her, He Had No Other Woman (2) Chapter 344: Other Than Her, He Had No Other Woman (2) Trantor: 549690339 Youreing home after just a few days. Im worried that your parents will think that Im abusing you. Come back quickly! You abused me! Alright, I knew you missed me. Since you miss me so much, then continue thinking about it. Ill go back when Im done ying! After saying that, Baby Guan hung up the phone. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Anger! What kind of woman was this? When he was cold to her, she would stick to him passionately. When he was more proactive towards her, she would still be energetic! After putting down the phone, Baby Guan saw Qiao Mu and Chi Xia looking at her in surprise. She shrugged nonchntly and said, Men cant only be hooked like this. Learn from me. Qiao Mu was speechless. Chi Xia was speechless. This was really a book of knowledge! Previously, when he saw how enthusiastic Baby Guan was towards Lu Jingzhi, he thought that she had no principles in front of Lu Jingzhi. He did not expect her to have such a personality! After the meal, they were about to leave. Guan Yunxiang thought of Oiao Mu and asked with a smile. Oiao Mu. Li Yan is your uncle? Qiao Mu was stunned. She didnt know why Guan Yunxiang would suddenly ask such a question. Seeing Qiao Mus reaction, Guan Yunxiang already had an answer. The smile on his face deepened as he teased, Your rtionship is quite interesting. Its just a form of address, but youre really uncle? It cant be that heavy, right? The corners of Qiao Mus lips twitched fiercely, and she hurriedly exined, lts just a form of address! Brother Guan, youre thinking too much! Li Yans eyes darkened when he saw what the two of them were talking about. He strode over and held Qiao Mus hand. Guan Yunxiangs smile deepened. This mans possessiveness was really extraordinary! However, for a person who had been rolling around in the dark world to put such a weakness on the surface, was he not afraid of being targeted? This was a fatal weakness! After returning to the hotel, Qiao Mu was a little nervous because she realized that she would be sharing a room with Li Yan. After Qiao Mu came out of the shower, Li Yan went into the bathroom to take a shower. Shey down nervously by the bed. The thought of sleeping in the same bed as this man made her feel extremely conflicted. When Li Yan came out, he saw Qiao Mu curled up as if she was asleep. However, her eyelids would twitch from time to time, which meant that she was pretending to be asleep. His eyes darkened. Was this woman afraid? Afraid that he would do something to her? Li Yan lifted the nket and got onto the bed. He felt his body, which was originally by the bed, shrink back as if he wanted to get as far away from him as possible. He suppressed the emotions in his heart and reached out to her. And then The body that was pretending to be asleep suddenly jumped up. What are you doing? Qiao Mu, do you hate me that much? The mans voice had a hint of anger in it, and Qiao Mu did not dare to say anything. She was afraid that she would end up in a very miserable state if she angered him. Li Yan sighed helplessly. Qiao Mu, are you so against me because Im with another woman? If I say that I dont have any other woman besides you, will you still be so disgusted with me? Other than her, there were no other women? How could this be possible? Could it be that he and his fiance did not have sex? Even so, she was indeed his fiance! Qiao Mu snorted coldly. Its still the same! She didnt want a man who didnt belong to anyone else! It was still the same! Whether he had other women or not, she hated him! Li Yan felt a sharp pain in his chest. Did this woman know how hurtful her words were? [PS: Todays 10 chapters will end. Misunderstandings happen very quickly. Dont you think that the Cold War these past two days is not cruel at all?] Ill continue to update tomorrow..] Chapter 345 - 345: Li Yan’s Sadness Chapter 345: Li Yans Sadness Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu thought that she would be punished by him if she recklessly said those words to anger him. In bed, she had no confidence at all in this state. She carefully sat at the side. The man suddenly lifted the nket and her entire body stiffened. Just as she thought that the man would do something, she saw the tall figure turn over and lie down. His back was facing her, and the lines of his back were broad and strong. He was exuding a cold anger and a faintLonely. Qiao Mu was stunned. Why did he feel that the mans aura at this moment seemed to be sorrowful? Her heart tightened as she stared nkly at his back for a long time. She felt indescribably sad. What did he want? He was the one who betrayed her, but how could he act like this? Her heart ached when she saw him. This man had always been high and mighty in front of her. She had always been bullied by him. He was always so arrogant and calm. When had he ever been like this? Qiao Mu bit her lip, and her nose turned sour, and her eyes uncontrobly became moist. She hugged her knees and buried her face in her knees as tears fell silently. Li Yany on his side with his eyes wide open. The emotions he was suppressing in his heart almost swallowed him whole. He was worried that he would lose control again after being angered by her. He could only adjust his emotions and calm down. However, the woman next to him sat there motionless. He could vaguely hear the sound of sobbing. It was very, very soft. If it wasnt for the fact that the room was too quiet, he wouldnt have heard it at all. Li Yan turned to the side and saw Qiao Mu hugging herself into a ball as tears streamed down her face. The lights in the room were not turned off. The tears at the corner of her eyes were wet on her pajama pants, allowing him to see them clearly. Frowning, he sat up and reached out to hug her, but his arm froze in mid-air. She didnt like him touching her. If he touched her, it would only make her feel disgusted. He sighed and helplessly put down his arm. Qiao Mu, I didnt bully you. Why are you crying? Qiao Mu instantly became agitated when she heard his words. Youre bullying me! Youre bullying me! You have a fiance, but you still wont let me go. Youre two-timing. You bastard, why wont you let me go! It was like this ten years ago, and its still the same ten yearster. Did I owe you something in my previous life that you have to torture me like this?! She red at Li Yan with her big eyes and pped his chest with both hands, trying to vent her anger. Li Yans frown deepened when she mentioned ten years ago. He opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace, enduring her struggles and punches in his arms. He gently stroked her hair and said word by word, Qiao Mu, believe me. Whether its ten years ago or now, Ive never done anything to let you down. Qiao Mus body froze, and she cried out, 1 dont believe it! Youre still lying to me! Qiao Mu,e home with me. Ill give you an exnation. He knew that if he exined, she would not believe him. She would think that he was lying to her. She would only believe what she saw and what his father said to her. She would only believe himpletely if he exined it to her personally. This little thing had never felt a sense of security. He could not let her have any doubts about him! Qiao Mu did not listen to Li Yan at all. She just kept watching and venting her anger. She was originally resisting and punching Li Yan in his arms, but her strength was slowly used up. Sheid in his arms and cried silently.. Chapter 346 - 346: He Actually Dislikes Her for Being Dirty Chapter 346: He Actually Dislikes Her for Being Dirty Trantor: 549690339 After that, she had no more strength to cry and fell asleep in Li Yans arms. Li Yan gently hugged the little woman in his arms. This was the closest they had been recently. Although the clothes on his chest were soaked with snot and tears, it was a luxury to be able to hug her quietly like this. Li Yan carefully let the woman in front of his chest lie down. He wanted to change his clothes, but just as he moved, her petite body leaned against him and continued sleeping. She sighed. Didnt she say that she hated him and didnt want to get close to him? Why did she subconsciously want to burrow into his arms when she was asleep? Actually, this woman was so sad because she cared about him, right? Li Yans eyes darkened when he thought of Old Master Li and his wife, who had made things soplicated. He would not let this matter go just like that after torturing his little one to this state! The next day, Qiao Mu woke up groggily. She only felt pain in her eyes and her eyelids were swollen and ufortable. She rubbed her eyes. Recalling the scenes fromst night, she felt a headacheing on. Damn it, why did she fall asleep in Li Yans armsst night! She turned her head and saw the man sitting beside her with aputer on hisp. She didnt know what he was busy with. He nced at her indifferently. Youre awake? Get up and wash up. Ill bring you downstairs for a buffet. The man had an indifferent expression on his face, as if everything he had done to her after she fell asleep in his armsst night had been erased. Qiao Mu got angry just by looking at it. She got up and sat by the bed, picked up the hotel phone, and dialed the internal line.There are clothes to be washed in room 1788. Im here to pick them up. Under Li Yans gaze, Qiao Mu put down the phone and went into the bathroom to change out of her pajamas. Soon, the room service knocked on the door. She handed the pajamas to the waiter and raised her voice.Wash this set of pajamas for me. It has to be disinfected. Its too dirty! These words were obviously full of hints and were deliberately said for a certain man to hear. Last night, she slept in his arms while wearing these clothes, meaning that he was the bacteria. Upon hearing this, Li Yans hand that was typing on theputer keyboard paused. He looked up at the little woman who was stirring up trouble. He put theputer aside, got up, and began to take off his pajamas. Qiao Mus eyes widened when she saw him shamelessly taking off his clothes in front of the waiter. Fortunately, he entered the bathroom before he took off his pajamas. When he came out the next second, he was wearing his pajamas and threw them to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu looked at the pajamas in her hands and red at the man in front of her with confusion and dissatisfaction. Then, the man said, You should wash it well. There are snot and tears all over the pajamas. There are too many bacteria. Also, kill the bacteria on the bedsheets. Qiao Mu was speechless. Her face instantly contorted. She thought he was dirty, but he was not polite at all and even thought she was dirty! He was ruthless! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and shook Li Yans pajamas. However, it was indeed inconceivable that he could sleep in clothes with her snot and tears on them! Qiao Mu went into the bathroom to wash up. Li Yan took his phone and went to the balcony to make a call. The call went through and Yu Yiduos voice came through, Son, have you settled my daughter-inw? Mom, let Dad answer the phone. Li Yan didnt answer Yu Yiduos question. His tone was serious. Yu Yiduo snorted unhappily and handed her phone to Li Zheng. Li Zheng could sense that it was not a good thing. He waved his hand. Im not picking it up.. Say Im not here! Chapter 347 - 347: Curse No Progeny Chapter 347: Curse No Progeny Trantor: 549690339 Li Zhengs voice was clearly heard by Li Yan. Li Yan snorted. Dad, I havent told you anything yet. Why are you hiding from me? When Li Zheng heard that, he immediately snatched the phone over and said angrily,Brat, you dare to say that I have a guilty conscience? How am I guilty? Im not hiding from you. I just dont want to talk to you! Do you think I want to talk to you? Im just telling you not to interfere with my private matters! Obstruct? Did that girl Qiao Muin to you? You havent even entered our Li family, yet youre already so restless What did you say to her? Tell me the truth! You cant control what your father wants to do! I cant do anything about it. Im just here to remind you that if you dont want to die without descendants, you can continue to interfere in my matters! No descendants! These words were an absolute threat! When had Old Master Li Zheng ever been scared like this, and by his own son! Li Zheng was immediately enraged. You bastard! Youre really ruthless! Cursing me to have no descendants? Isnt that the same as cursing you as well?! If you only put your mind on your wife in the future and dont care about me, the curse will be ineffective. If you insist At this point, Li Yan paused. He did not sound like he was joking. Li Zheng didnt wait for him to speak and immediately shouted, Alright, alright. Didnt I just talk to her? I dont have any intention of breaking you up. I wont care about your matters in the future. Hurry up and let your mother and I have grandchildren. If we can have grandchildren, Ill reluctantly ept it even if my daughter-inw is a pig! Although Li Zheng had already epted this daughter-inw in his heart after talking to Qiao Mu, how could he be gentle under Li Yans threat? Even if he epted her, he would have to belittle her! However, Yu Yiduo protested, What are you talking about? Your daughter-inw is the pig My daughter-inw is not a pig! Yu Yiduo snatched the phone away and continued to ask with concern, Son, did you take down Mumu or not? Do you want Mom to give you some advice? Li Yan said calmly, Mom, I dont think you have the energy to care about me. You should take care of my dad. My dad told your daughter-inw that the person in the scandal is my fiance. If your daughter-inw is scared away, its all his credit . Li Yan hung up the phone after he finished speaking. He did not care what kind of world war would happen on the other end of the phone. He had made him and his little woman take a detour. He had to find something for the couple to do! Li Yan brought Qiao Mu to a buffet. Qiao Mus mood improved a little because of the delicious food. However, Li Yan kept talking on the phone throughout the meal. Listening to Ouyangs report on the other end of the phone, Li Yan said coldly,Since Murong Chao wants to y tricks, destroy his old camp and keep an eye on him. Dont let him do anything sinister! Boss, arent youing back to take charge of the situation yourself? I really cant handle this kind of thing alone! Whats the use ofining here? I cant leave with the things I have on hand. Call Chen Chen over to deal with this matter! Boss, what are you busy with? I heard from Lei Yi that youre not at the headquarters at all. Whats more important than this tens of millions of yuan deal? Superintendent Ouyang was very puzzled. Although he couldnt inquire about Bosss private matters, he couldnt help but ask.. Chapter 348 - 348: Secretly Taking the Initiatives to Hug Him Chapter 348: Secretly Taking the Initiatives to Hug Him Trantor: 549690339 Even if he was tired here, he had to know what important thing Boss was doing, right? He asked Lei Yi, but Lei Yi had a sincere attitude of protecting his master and did not reveal a word! It was really unfair! He let Lei Yi get close to the simple and trivial matters in thepany, but he had to fight and kill overseas! Boss left in such a hurry. Could it be that he had been seduced by some brilliant woman and was not doing his job properly? If that was the case, that woman was really too terrifying! Even someone like Boss could take the bait! Li Yan ignored Superintendent Ouyangsints and hung up the phone. After he left, major changes had taken ce in the foreign affairs. Murong Chao, who had always been good at scheming, wanted to find loopholes in the cooperation to threaten him. He would slowly settle the score after he settled Qiao Mus matter! After that, Li Yan apanied Qiao Mu 24/7 and brought her to visit some ces of interest in Hong Kong. At night, Qiao Mu began to be cautious again. After Li Yanid down beside her, he nced at the little woman. You dont need me to hug you to sleep? Qiao Mu ground her teeth when she heard this. Theres no need! I identally fell asleep in your armsst night. I slept very badlyst night. Its best for us to each have a nket and separate ourselves! No, its best to sleep in separate beds! Li Yan was not annoyed. This little thing really did not mean what she said. I dont mind if you sleep on the floor, he said lightly. . This was simply too much! Youre the one who should be sleeping on the floor, Qiao Mu huffed. I dont want it! Li Yan sighed when he saw that the little woman had her back to him and was unwilling to get close to him. Qiao Mu, lets see how long you can be stubborn! Soon, Qiao Mu fell asleep. Li Yan gently turned her body around and let her head rest on his arm. He wrapped his arms around her waist. Perhaps Li Yan had gone overboard, but Qiao Mu groaned and opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw the mans face in front of her, Qiao Mu was stunned for quite a while before she finally realized that she was in his arms at this very moment! She was clearly sleeping with her back facing him. Why was she lying in his arms? Damn it, why was she so dishonest in her sleep! She instantly felt embarrassed and annoyed! She moved subconsciously, trying to break free from his embrace. However, when she moved slightly, the man seemed to have noticed it. His arm around her waist tightened and he held her firmly in his arms, not allowing her to move. The room was dimly lit by the wallmp, so Qiao Mu could vaguely make out Li Yans face. He closed his eyes and slept quietly. His cold face was unusually gentle when he was asleep. The face in front of him was as handsome as a demon, enough to mesmerize all living beings. This man was still so domineering when he was asleep! Being held in his arms made her heart feel a little ufortable. Did he also hug others like this? However, he had said that he had no other woman besides her. He had said that he would give her an exnation when he returned! Even though she said she didnt believe him, there was still a trace of anticipation in her heart. Maybe Was it really just a misunderstanding? Qiao Mu remained in Li Yans embrace for a moment before she finally gave up struggling. She decided to let her enjoy his embrace for the time being. It would only take a while. After a while, she would leave his embrace. Qiao Mu gently wrapped her arms around Li Yans waist and buried her face in his chest, smelling his unique scent. Then, unknowingly, she fell asleep. However, Qiao Mu did not notice that when she took the initiative to hug Li Yan, a hint of a smile appeared on her handsome face.. Chapter 349 - 349: I Like You So Much (1) Chapter 349: I Like You So Much (1) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan opened his eyes and saw that the little woman in front of his chest had fallen asleep in his arms. The arm that reached out to his back was gently hugging her. This action made his mood soar. There had been an earth-shattering change! This woman! She still looked like she was rejecting him, but she was taking the initiative when he was unaware! The smile on her face deepened when she thought that she did not hate him at all. If it wasnt for this misunderstanding, he wouldnt have known that this little woman cared so much about him! He pulled his arms back and hugged her tightly in his arms. Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Early morning. Qiao Mu woke up in a daze and felt herself in a firm embrace. She suddenly opened her eyes. Last night, she had only wanted to lie in his arms for a while before breaking free. Why did she fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes? Seeing that the man was still asleep, she carefully tried to remove the hand on her waist, but she could not move it! That arm seemed to be attached to her waist. She couldnt take it away! Immediately after, a devilish voice sounded above his head. What, youre destroying evidence early in the morning? Qiao Mus eyes widened, and only then did she realize that the man had already woken up! She pressed her hands against her chest. What evidence? Let go of me! You took the initiative to crawl into my arms to sleep and wanted to escape before I woke up. You wanted to do it without leaving any traces. If this isnt destroying evidence, what is it? The mans voice wasnguid, and the hand around her waist tightened instead of loosening, causing Qiao Mus body to press tightly against his chest. Qiao Mus face instantly turned red, and she raised her voice to hide her shyness. However, she only uttered three weak words, 1 didnt! No? Then why are you in my arms? I was sleeping well in my seat. Why did you run from the bedside to my side? Qiao Mu wanted to say that he was the one who took the initiative to hug her, but Li Yans words blocked her words! He was right. She was originally sleeping by the bed, but now she was sleeping in his position and hugging him. His position did not move, so it seemed clear who was hugging who! But Of course, Qiao Mu could not admit it! She tried hard to break free from him, but the man seemed to be deliberately going against her and refused to let go of her! Li Yan! She let out a low cry and pushed his chest with both hands. What did you call me? His low and hoarse voice rang in her ear. Qiao Mus body stiffened. She felt that the atmosphere was a little off, so she unwillingly called out softly, Uncle. Her voice was soft as she called him uncle. It brushed past Li Yans heart and made his heart melt. His body had been neglected by her for many days. Now that he was hugging her, his mouth instantly felt dry. He chuckled as if nothing had happened. Be good. Since you want to hug me to sleep, you dont have to be so sneaky in the future. Qiao Mu was speechless. Who would want to hug him! She moved slightly in his arms and identally touched a small tent somewhere. She felt ufortable. She red at him with a red face and pushed him away with all her strength, then quickly fled. Qiao Mu rushed into the bathroom and panted heavily. It was too scary just now! Li Yan sighed helplessly. This little thing was really torturous! After that, Qiao Mu and Li Yans rtionship seemed to have improved a little, but it also seemed to have not. Just like that, the two of them continued to maintain a distance, but their rtionship was a little closer than when they were in the cold war.. Chapter 350 - 350: I Like You Very Much (2) Chapter 350: I Like You Very Much (2) Trantor: 549690339 This statested for two days. Li Yan suddenly got busy. He had nned to go out, but after receiving a phone call, he had a video conference in the hotels study and had note out. Qiao Mu watched a movie in her room out of boredom. Li Yan bought her a new phone. With a phone, it was much more convenient. She messaged Chi Xia and found out that Chi Xia and Baby Guan were going back tomorrow. Guan Tianxiang was treating them to a farewell dinner tonight. Li Yan came out of the study in the afternoon and sat down beside Qiao Mu. He said in a low voice, lm going out to do something. Be good and wait for me in the room. Dont run around alone. Oh. Qiao Mu yed mobile games and responded without even raising her head. I might be back a littlete. If youre hungry, order your own food. A littlete? Qiao Mus eyes lit up. Howte? Li Yan got up to change his clothes. He did not notice the little womans thoughts and replied calmly, Im not sure. I can onlye back after Im done. Why? Are you afraid of being alone? I was just asking. Qiao Mu said nonchntly. After Li Yan left, Qiao Mu immediately began to move. The hotel they were staying at was not far from Chi Xias hotel. After changing her clothes, she sneakily found Chi Xia and Guan Baobei to freeload! Guan Yunxiang saw Qiao Mu and smiled. I thought you were being watched by your uncle and couldnt get away. Did he let you out alone? Im free, Qiao Mu said nonchntly. I can do whatever I want! Guan Yunxiang smiled but did not say anything. Others might not know, but he knew very well that Li Yans situation abroad was already very serious. Murong Chao had tampered with the transaction, yet Li Yan still refused to resolve such a huge matter. Wasnt this all to keep an eye on Qiao Mu? That man could put aside such an important matter for a woman. It seemed that this Qiao Mu was extraordinarily important to him! During dinner, the three women drank some wine. She originally wanted to toast Guan Yunxiang and thank him for his hospitality, but Qiao Mus alcohol tolerance was too low, so she identally drank too much. Perhaps it was because she had been too depressed with Li Yan for the past few days, she could not stop drinking. Qiao Mu leaned on the table and felt dizzy. Suddenly, someone helped her up, and a familiar fragrance lingered around her nose, making her feel even more dizzy. She leaned against the mans chest weakly and muttered softly, Uncle, youre here Guan Yunxiang paused and supported his limp body with his hand. He smiled faintly and said, Qiao Mu, Ive already contacted your uncle. Hell be here soon. Hmm? Arent you my uncle? Qiao Mu blinked herrge eyes in a daze and sniffed. When she smelled the familiar sound, she grinned. No, youre my uncle. Youre that bastard Li Yan! Guan Yunxiang looked at her. Her red face seemed to be covered with ayer of blush, making her fair and tender face look especially attractive. She called him uncle in a sweet voice. Suddenly, her face scrunched up. I dont want to go back with you. Youre a big jerk! Guan Yunxiangs expression was indifferent. Qiao Mu, if you want to stay, I can let you learn here. Qiao Mu did not hear what the other party said clearly. She wrapped her arms around the mans neck and grinned as she blinked. Uncle, let me tell you a secret. You definitely dont know! As she spoke, she tiptoed and whispered into his ear, 1 like youReally, you dont know how much I like you! [PS: There are 4 more] Chapter 351 - 351: I Like You So Much (3) Chapter 351: I Like You So Much (3) Trantor: 549690339 I like you so much Guan Yunxiang lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. She was confessing her love carefully, as if she was telling him a huge secret. Guan Yunxiang had never liked others to get close to him, but the woman in his arms was moving around in front of his chest, and he actually didnt feel disgusted! When he heard her say I like you so much , he actually felt a little absent-minded. If she did not address him as uncle , it would have sounded even more pleasant. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Li Yan red at the scene in the room. Qiao Mu was hanging on Guan Yunxiangs body, and the two of them were intimately sticking to each other! The anger in his heart instantly boiled. Especially after hearing what she said just now! What did she say? She said to Guan Yunxiang,l like you! She actually hugged another man and said that she liked him? He strode forward and pulled Qiao Mu into his embrace. Guan Yunxiang! How dare you touch my woman! As he spoke, Li Yan raised his fist and swung it at Guan Yunxiang. Guan Yunxiang reacted quickly, but the fistnded even faster. Even though he dodged to the side, his face was still grazed by the fist. Then, the fistnded again. This time, Guan Yunxiang sessfully dodged it. He took a step back and looked at the furious man. Young Master Li, why are you so impulsive to attack without asking clearly? I didnt do anything to her Li Yans eyes were dark and bloodthirsty. He did not listen to Guan Yunxiangs words at all. His mind only stopped at the scene just now. She hugged this man and confessed to him! The woman in his arms reeked of alcohol. He realized that she was drunk! At this moment, she humphed and rubbed her chest against his chest. She pouted and muttered, UncleDont move! Then, the little woman climbed up his neck and leaned against him weakly. Li Yans body froze. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her dazed expression. She looked like she had no idea where she was at this moment! Did this woman think that Guan Yunxiang was him? The bloodthirsty light in his eyes instantly disappeared, and the man who was originally covered in frost slowly faded away. So, the sentence I like you was meant for him? Li Yan shot a cold nce at Guan Yunxiang before he wordlessly picked Qiao Mu up and strode away. Guan Yunxiang smiled faintly and looked down at the creases on his clothes. His eyes darkened. The feeling of that small body in his arms just now was not bad! Li Yan carried Qiao Mu into the car and looked at the drunk woman. He hooked her chin and questioned her with a frown, Qiao Mu, why arent you obedient! Who allowed you to drink? Qiao Mu grunted. She only felt that her ears were very noisy, so she leaned into his embrace and pped his mouth with her hands. Be good, dont disturb my sleep. The pnded squarely on Li Yans mouth. Half of his face was hit hard, and a crisp sound was heard. Lei Yi, who was driving in front, suddenly felt the atmosphere change. In the narrow space of the car, it was as if the oxygen had been sucked away. A dangerous aura emanated from Young Master Lis eyes, and Lei Yi realized that Qiao Mu was in trouble this time! He actually dared to hit Young Master Li! In this world, there was actually a woman who dared toy a hand on Young Master Li! If it was anyone else, they would definitely be dead, but if it was Qiao MuHe probably wouldnt have a good ending either. Qiao Mu did not know that she had gotten into trouble. After pping Li Yan, she hooked her arm around his neck and snuggled into his embrace, trying to find afortable spot to lean on.. Chapter 352 - 352: I Will Always Be Yours Alone (1) Chapter 352: I Will Always Be Yours Alone (1) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans face darkened. Qiao Mu was a drunkard at this moment. It was not like he had never seen her drunk and crazy appearance before! Li Yansplexion was extremely bad on the way, but Qiao Mu, who was drunk, did not notice it at all. After returning to the hotel and entering the room, Qiao Mu hung herself on Li Yans body. Li Yan looked at her drunken state and said coldly, Qiao Mu, you better give me a reason to calm down! Otherwise, after you sober up tomorrow, well slowly settle the score for everything you did tonight! The mans fierce words made Qiao Mu frown. She pouted and red at him unhappily. Why are you being so fierce? Arent you so fierce to me because I like you? Li Yans body stiffened and his eyes narrowed. What did you say? She said that she liked him? Li Yan mulled over this sentence over and over again. The man, who was at the peak of humanity in terms of both intelligence and reaction speed, had be sluggish because of Qiao Mus words. Qiao Mus face instantly turned deste. Li Yan, you bastard. I owe you, thats why Ive been deceived by you time and time again. Whats so great about you? If it werent for the fact that I like you, you wouldnt have gotten your way! Ten years ago, I liked you. You left after you used me. Ten yearster, I fell in love with you again, but you had a fiance. I dont want you anymore. I dont want to be deceived by you anymore! Hearing her heartbreaking cries, Li Yan felt both heartache and joy. This woman actually confessed to him! He had never thought that he would hear this little woman say such words of love to him so straightforwardly. His heart suddenly felt like it was filled, making him ecstatic. The little woman in front of him squatted down and curled up into a ball. Her voice was pitiful. It hurts. What should I do? It hurts so much. Li Yan immediately bent down and became nervous. Where does it hurt? Qiao Mu pointed at her chest. It hurts here. Im about to die from the pain. Uncle doesnt want me anymore. He has another woman Li Yans heart tightened. Her words made his heart ache so much that he felt like he was about to suffocate. He picked her up and ced her by the bed. He said word by word, Mumu, its not that I dont want you. I dont have any other women. Ill always be yours alone! Qiao Mu looked at the man in front of her nkly. She heard him call her Mu Mu, but her uncle had never called her Mu Mu in such a friendly manner! She must be dreaming. He said that he would always be hers alone Qiao Mu felt a lump in her throat, and tears uncontrobly gushed out. Uncle, I like you. I really like you What should I do? Im afraid I cant leave you! Almost as soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, Li Yan lifted her head and kissed her. There were tears at the corner of her lips, salty and astringent, making his kiss even crazier. The kiss moved down rapidly like a me. Every ce it touched became hot. He had never wanted to have her like he did now. He wanted to rub her into his body! This woman was his! It would always be his! Qiao Mu frantically grabbed onto the clothes in front of his chest. The familiar feeling slowly engulfed her, making it difficult for her to breathe. Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around his neck and took the initiative to kiss him. She was eager and nervous as she asked him for it. If it was a dream, then he would let her indulge in it for once! Chapter 353 - 353: I Will Always Be Yours Alone (2) Chapter 353: I Will Always Be Yours Alone (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus initiative made Li Yan pause. All along, this woman had always been passive and had never taken the initiative. But at this moment, she took the initiative to kiss him back. She hugged him with both hands and refused to let go, as if she was worried that he would run away. The mes in Li Yans body burned even more vigorously. In the next second, he swallowed the woman in his arms. His lips and teeth gnawed on her corbone as his domineering voice rang out again and again. Qiao Mu, youre mine. Youre mine for the rest of your life! The woman in a daze could only reply with a light snort, which was enough to make the man lose control even more. That night, the two of them were extremely crazy. The next day. When Qiao Mu was in a daze, she only felt her entire body ache. This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling instantly chased away her sleepiness. She abruptly opened her eyes and stared nkly at the ceiling of the room. At his waist, there was a powerful hand holding him. Qiao Mus mind was nk. After she got drunkst night, her memories started to blur. It seemed like she was brought back to the hotel by Li Yan, and then What happened after that? The images in her mind could not be organized. She did not know which was real and which was an illusion after she was drunk. Her body was so stiff that she did not dare to move. She was afraid that if she turned her head, she would see a scene that she did not want to see. However, the feeling of her body told her that she wasnt wearing any clothes! She moved her arm slightly and indeed, she touched the smooth and hot skin of the man beside her. Li Yan was also naked! Qiao Mu had no choice but to face reality. She turned her head and indeed saw that the mans upper body was bare. The nket covered his chest, exposing his honey-colored body! Her heart skipped a beat. Then, she saw the man open his eyes. There was a hint of sleepiness in his eyes. Qiao Mu was shocked and immediately grabbed the nket to escape to the side of the bed. She looked at him warily.You, you, youWhat did you do to mest night? Who could understand what Li Yan was feeling right now? The woman who was as passionate as firest night had woken up and asked him in shock what he had done to her! This woman had cked out again after drinking! Li Yan nced at her indifferently, then lowered his head to look at his naked body. His voice was a little hoarse from just waking up. What do you think we did? You took advantage of me being drunk to As Qiao Mu spoke, she picked up a pillow and threw it at Li Yan. You bastard, I told you not to touch me! Li Yan dodged the pillow and narrowed his eyes. He asked in disbelief, You really dont remember what happenedst night? If I had a shred of consciousnessst night, I wouldnt have let you seed! Li Yan sat up and leaned his sexy body against the headboard. He did not care that his actions had already freed his body from the nket. He just sat therezily and gave her a hint. You were the one who attacked mest night! Nonsense! How was this possible? How could shey a hand on him! However, at the same time Qiao Mu refuted, an image that seemed both real and illusory appeared in her mind, causing her confidence to instantly wane. Could it be that she really couldnt control herself after getting drunk? Qiao Mu blushed when her gazended on the mans body. She turned her face away and said with disgust, How could I take the initiative? I dont like it when youre not in a hurry! Disdain? Li Yans face darkened. This woman was still stubborn after what happenedst night? How long did she want to y with him? Chapter 354 - 354: I Will Always Be Yours Alone (3) Chapter 354: I Will Always Be Yours Alone (3) Trantor: 549690339 After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she hugged the nket and quickly ran into the bathroom, looking extremely disheveled. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at the red spots on his chest. They were densely packed and there were more marks than before. It was enough to prove that he had been a pervertst night! Beast! Damn it! He actually forgot about it! However, she seemed to have some impression of him. Qiao Mu stood under the shower head and vigorously cleaned the marks on her body. She had clearly rejected him for so long, yet she messed up after getting drunk! There were many things that she did not understand. He said that he would give her an exnation, but she was still confused! If he really touched another woman and still wanted to touch her again At the thought of this, Qiao Mu washed her body even harder. She stomped her feet and slipped, causing her to identally fall to the ground. She sat on the ground, her butt almost falling apart. It was so painful that she grimaced and her eyes almost fell out. Damn it! It was all Li Yans fault! In the bedroom, Li Yan really did not know how to exin to that stupid woman. He regretted not taking a video camera to record everything that happenedst night. If he told her now that she had confessed to him, she probably wouldnt believe him! She sighed helplessly. At this moment, her phone rang. The call went through and Su Chens voice sounded, Big brother, something happened. Murong Chao knows where you are. I didnt send anyone to stop him. Li Yans expression turned cold. I understand. Superintendent Ouyang has already rushed over. Leave the matters here to him. Big brother, you have to be careful. Su Chen reminded him. Li Yan was alone, so there was nothing to worry about, but he still had Qiao Mu by his side. Murong Chao probably sent people to Hong Kong to find out his elder brothers weakness. With Qiao Mu around, it would be very inconvenient for them to move. Okay, Li Yan replied and hung up the phone. Then, he dialed Lei Yis number. Book a ne ticket and return today. At this moment, the bathroom door opened. Li Yan looked up and saw Qiao Mu walking out with red eyes. Did she just cry? This woman was crying because she had sex with himst night? Li Yan suddenly did not know how to suppress the frustration in his heart. Was this woman with a double personality? She liked him to deathst night, and now she hated him to death this morning! He stood up and strode towards her, his voice filled with anger.Why are you crying? Are you that aggrieved? Qiao Mu was stunned. She was about to say something when she saw his naked body standing in front of her. She immediately turned her face to the side with an unnatural expression. Hurry up and put on your clothes! He was deliberately going against her. He grabbed her hand and ced it on his chest, forcing her not to hide. Didnt you have a good time touching mest night? Why are you so shy now? You, youBastard! Hooligan! Qiao Mu pushed him away and ran away. He was simply shameless! Li Yan looked at her coldly. The excitement fromst night hadpletely turned cold this morning. If this continued, he would definitely be tortured to death by her! After Li Yan washed up and put on his clothes, Qiao Mu curled up on the sofa and yed with her phone. He packed his clothes and then her things. Her things were all over the ce. He tidied them up one by one and put them into the suitcase. Qiao Mu stared nkly at the mans unbelievably virtuous manner. In the past, this Eldest Young Master was always high and mighty and was always served, but now, he was actually helping her pack her luggage! [PS: 10 updates are over. Its eventer today. Please update earlier tomorrow..] Chapter 355 - 355: I Want to Be His Only One (1) Chapter 355: I Want to Be His Only One (1) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan packed his luggage and called someone toe and pick it up. Only then did Qiao Mu realize a problem. Are we going back? Yes. Li Yan responded and looked up at her. Why? You cant bear to leave? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. She was not reluctant. School was about to start, and Chi Xia and Baby Guan had already gone back. There was no point in staying here any longer. When Ouyang came to carry the luggage, he finally met the scourge beside Li Yan. The so-called scourge was that Superintendent Ouyang felt that she was not a good woman since she could confuse Boss Li into not doing his proper job. It was different from what she had imagined. It was not the type of seduction. On the contrary, she looked like a high school student who had not graduated. Superintendent Ouyang thought that Boss was definitely not serious. She must be ying around with this kind of person. Qiao Mu could feel Ouyang Shuo sizing her up. This was the first time she had seen this person. He had golden hair and had the scent of a Western man. He looked like he was of mixed blood. Why does this person keep staring at me? Qiao Mu asked Li Yan. Li Yan nced at Superintendent Ouyang coldly. Superintendent Ouyang felt a chill run down her spine and immediately lowered her head. On the way, Superintendent Ouyang drove the car while Li Yan and Qiao Mu sat in the backseat. As the car drove on the road, Qiao Mu realized that there were cars following behind them, trapping their car in the middle. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan nervously. Did something happen? He hadnt said that he would leave today yesterday, but he suddenly left at thest minute. Moreover, there were people following him around, so Qiao Mu couldnt help but think too much. Your man is here. What can happen to him? Li Yan asked nonchntly. Qiao Mu snorted, and Ouyang immediately said, Miss Qiao, dont worry. Even if something happens, Boss will be here. He wont let anything happen to you! As expected, there was still something! Ouyang Shuo had just opened his mouth when Li Yan red at him coldly again. He shut his mouth resentfully. At this moment, Ouyangs phone rang. He answered the call twice and hung up. His expression became serious. Big Brother, our people have lost Murong Chaos men! Li Yans eyes darkened. Isnt Hong Kong still Murong Chaos territory? Cant you even keep an eye on a person? This time, it seems like Murong Chao hase personally, Ouyang said under pressure. Murong Chao came personally? Li Yan pursed his lips. It seemed like Murong Chao was not letting him go! Qiao Mu listened to the conversation in bafflement. She didnt know what was going on, but she could vaguely sense that things werent that simple. Right at this moment, the car in front of them suddenly made a loud collision sound. Qiao Mu was shocked to see the two cars in front of them colliding into each other. The car suddenly braked. Suddenly, with a bang, the ss in front of her car cracked. She looked at the person who got out of the ckmercial car in shock. In his hand wasA pistol? Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment. Immediately after, arge hand reached over, and in the next second, she entered a firm embrace. Li Yan pulled Qiao Mu into his arms, preventing her from seeing the scene outside the car. He said coldly to Superintendent Ouyang, Give me five minutes to resolve this matter! Alright! Superintendent Ouyang immediately took out two guns from the cars storage cab and quickly got out of the car. Her expression became rxed. It was obvious that this was amon urrence for him. When the enemy was hiding in the dark, they did not know where they were going, so they were worried about ying tricks.. However, when they appeared openly, there was nothing to worry about! Chapter 356 - 356: I Want to Be His Only One (2) Chapter 356: I Want to Be His Only One (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu could only hear the loud banging sounds outside the car and all sorts of chaotic noises. She leaned into Li Yans embrace and could not see anything. She was so flustered that she did not know what to do. She wanted to get up to see what was going on, but the mans arm was wrapped around her, preventing her from moving. She had long known that this man was not simple, but she did not expect him to reach the point of using a gun! Wasnt this just a bunch of gangsters? A single move could take a persons life! Qiao Mu clenched her teeth tightly. Did that big hand that was hugging her often do things like de light and blood shadows? Li Yan seemed to have sensed her fear. He raised his hand and gently stroked her head, again and again. His movements were very gentle, as if everything outside the car had nothing to do with them. Dont be afraid, its fine, he said in a low voice. Qiao Mu looked up at him. Li Yan, you Have you killed anyone? Li Yan was slightly stunned. He narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Are you scared? He didnt deny that Qiao Mu already knew the answer. Although she didnt know what he had done other than the Li Corporations business on the surface, it was definitely beyond her imagination. Loud noises could be heard outside the car, but it was very quiet inside. At this very moment, Qiao Mu actually didnt feel afraid. She didnt know if her courage had grown stronger after being together with him or if it was because she felt very at ease in his embrace. He suddenly felt a sense of indulgence in his heart. Perhaps it was because he had been suppressed for a few days, but at this moment, his mood was finally released. She suddenly grinned. Im not afraid. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the petite womans face. Suddenly, a smile bloomed on his face. Qiao Mu met his gaze andughed even more wildly. You must think that Im crazy, and I also think that Im abnormal. Uncle, if we die like this, would we bemitting suicide together? At least well die together. At that time, youll be mine alone! Li Yans heart tightened when he heard her negative and crazy words. It was as if his heart was stuffed and he could not suppress it. He suddenly hugged Qiao Mus tace and kissed her lips tiercely. This woman finally admitted that she wanted to be with him! Outside the carriage, there was a bloody battle. Inside the carriage, there was a crazy entanglement. Qiao Mu had never known that there were such restless cells active in her blood. She had never been so clear about her own thoughts. She wanted this man and wanted to be his one and only! Qiao Mu was kissed until she could not breathe. After a while, she pushed him away and panted as he continued, saying breathlessly, Wait a minutel havent forgiven you yet! Li Yans lips curled into a devilish smile. Youre about to die for love with me. Shouldnt you kiss me enough? Qiao Mu was speechless. She was just saying that. He really wanted her dead! Li Yans eyes narrowed, and his voice deepened. Qiao Mu, you were with mest night. Why are you so reluctant to wake up? Why are you crying in the morning? Qiao Mu was stunned. He was still thinking about this matter! Just as he was about to say something, he heard someone knocking on the car window. Then, the person outside coughed. Boss, its all settled. If we dont rush to the airport now, itll be toote. Superintendent Ouyang, who had settled the matter, was shocked when she saw the scene in the car. The two of them were really looking for excitement. Under such circumstances, they kissed passionately in the car! It seemed like he had really misunderstood Qiao Mus character. She might look innocent, but she was really hot on the inside! No wonder Boss was so smitten by her! Chapter 357 - 357: Uncle, Don’t Leave Me (1) Chapter 357: Uncle, Dont Leave Me (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu snapped back to her senses when she suddenly heard a voice, and her face instantly turned red. The indulgence from before disappeared instantly. She felt her face burning up and pushed Li Yan away forcefully. She wished she could find a hole to hide in. Li Yan could not help but want tough when he saw how shy the little woman was. This girl probably really had two personalities! Li Yan turned around and looked at Superintendent Ouyang, who was outside the carriage. His expression immediately changed and returned to his cold expression. He got out of the car and saw the mess on the roadside. Are you done? Ouyang nodded. Yes, but I didnt see Murong Chao in person. Clean up all the traces. This is not our territory. Dont cause trouble. Find Murong Chao as soon as possible and tell him to forget about such underhanded tricks. If he wants to negotiate, he has to do it with me personally! Li Yan had just finished speaking when Qiao Mus scream rang out from behind him. She turned her head abruptly and saw a man holding a dagger in his hand as he dragged Qiao Mu out of the car on the other side. Li Yans face darkened instantlv. He walked around the car and approached it. If you dont want to die, let her go! The man pulled Qiao Mu back. Boss Li, were just following orders. Our boss only wants this woman youre protecting! Qiao Mus face turned pale as she looked at therge knife swinging in front of her. Li Yan strode toward her, but she steeled herself and bit down hard on the arm in front of her. The man felt pain and tightened his grip on Qiao Mus arm. You f * cking Ah With a scream, Qiao Mu felt her vision blur, and a force pulled her out. Soon after, she fell into a sturdy chest. Li Yan took advantage of the other partys distraction to grab Qiao Mu and kick her in the chest. He pulled Qiao Mu into his embrace and consoled her in a low voice, lts okay, its okay. Qiao Mu panted heavily, calming the fear in her heart. Superintendent Ouyang was stunned. She had never seen her boss so gentle. He was actually so careful and protective of a woman. It was really a miracle! At this moment, the man who had been kicked to the ground by Li Yan got up, held a dagger, and quickly rushed toward Qiao Mu Qiao Mu did not realize what was going on at all. She only felt Li Yans body sway as he hugged her. Then, she heard Li Yan grunt, and the surroundings turned into a mess. She saw the man at the side being kicked down by Superintendent Ouyang again. She saw Superintendent Ouyang looking at Li Yan in panic Her hands suddenly became wet, and a warm liquid dripped onto the back of her hands. She looked down nkly and saw that her hands were red! Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock. She was stunned for quite a while, and only reacted when Ouyang rushed over. Li Yan was injured! Qiao Mus face instantly paled. She grabbed onto him tightly, and her vision blurred. Uncle, where are you hurt? Dont scare me Li Yans lips twitched and he forced a smile. If you continue to scratch my wound, Im afraid something bad will happen! Qiao Mu let go of her hands in a panic, her hands hanging in the air, not knowing where to put them. He said that she was grabbing his wound? Her hand was grabbing his waist. Qiao Mu lowered her head and saw that the clothes in front of him were dyed red. She could not tell where he was injured at all! Boss, I didnt do my job well! Superintendent Ouyangs face was filled with guilt and regret. She was only focused on looking at these two people and did not notice that persons actions. Li Yan pursed his lips and did not respond to Ouyang Shuo. He only smiled when he saw Qiao Mus nervous and pale face. Im fine, little thing. Why are you panicking? Uncle, dont get hurt.. Lets go to the hospital! Chapter 358 - 358: Uncle, Don I t Leave Me (2) Chapter 358: Uncle, Don I t Leave Me (2) Trantor: 549690339 On the way to the hospital, Qiao Mu held onto Li Yans hand tightly. Tears kept flowing out as she mumbled, Uncle, dont let anything happen to you. Dont scare me. I cant let anything happen to me. I still have so many things I havent told you Li Yan endured the pain and looked at the little woman. What do you have to tell me? Could this little thing be confessing to him again? Qiao Mu bit her lip tightly and controlled her trembling voice as she sobbed, Actually, I didnte to Hong Kong to study this time. I just came to have fun. I just wanted to rx. I didnt want to sneak away. Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. Why did you sign up for the exchange program behind my back? Do you want to leave me that badly? No, at that time, I really wanted to leave, butter I dont want to leave anymore. I changed my mind. I thought that this matter could be treated as if nothing had happened, but you identally found out. I wanted to exin to you, but you have a fiance, so I cant be with you. As she spoke, Qiao Mus tears welled up even more fiercely. She raised her arm to wipe away her tears, but when she saw the mans clothes getting redder and redder, she was so frightened that she did not dare to speak. After hearing Qiao Mus exnation, Li Yan finally felt a littleforted. The pain in his wound worsened. He closed his eyes to ease the pain, but the little things frightened voice rang in his ears. Uncle, dont sleep. Dont close your eyes. Open your eyes and talk to me! Li Yan was speechless. This little thing was really making a fuss over nothing. Did it think that he was going to die from such a small injury? When he opened his eyes and saw her pitiful face covered in tears and snot, his heart suddenly softened. This little injury made him realize that it was worth it for the little one to be together like this. Qiao Mu had long been devastated by the blood red. In order to prevent Li Yan from falling asleep, she kept talking, Oh right, Uncle, I didnt cry this morning because of what happenedst night. I just fell in the bathroom and cried from the pain. I dont despise you anymore. Really, I really dont despise you. You must be fine! She sniffed hard. Uncle, why dont you dump your fiance and be with me? Can you let me be your fiance? I dont want to leave youl dont want to share you with other women. If Im your only one, you can only have me! You said it yourself. Ill be yours for the rest of my life. Dont let anything happen to me. You cant abandon me Qiao Mu rambled on nonstop. She did not know what she was saying either. There was too much she wanted to say, and all of it was suppressed in her heart. At this moment, she could not care so much. She just wanted him to know her feelings! Nothing could happen to him! She didnt want to leave him! Li Yan could not describe what he was feeling at that moment. Although the pain in his body made him a little absent-minded, her words pierced straight into his heart, giving him a warmth he had never felt before. If he had known that his injury would result in the little thing confessing to him so straightforwardly, he would have used this trick a long time ago! She had probably said all the beautiful words of her life at this moment. Li Yan closed his eyes again when he thought of her confessionst night, which disregarded her image. Qiao Mu yelled at him again. Li Yan looked at her weakly. Do you like me? Yes! Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. Say you like me. I like you! Qiao Mu did not hesitate at all. She immediately answered after he finished speaking. Say you love me.. Chapter 359 - 359: Uncle, Don ‘t Leave Me (3) Chapter 359: Uncle, Don t Leave Me (3) Trantor: 549690339 I love you, Uncle! I love you, so dont leave me! Dont leave me alone! Qiao Mus heart was in a panic, and she confessed without caring about her image. There was nothing that she could not say now. She loved him! She just didnt want to leave him! Superintendent Ouyang, who was driving, quietly listened to the conversation between the two people behind the car as if no one was around. It was as if he waspletely invisible. Superintendent Ouyang was focused on racing and did not have the time to see what kind of scene the two people behind the car were in. However, listening to the conversation, she couldpletely associate it with a big movie about life and death! Wasnt he just stabbed by a knife? The injury was not deep at all. For people like them who were often injured, it was nothing at all. It was just that the bleeding was a little scary. After that, they just needed to transfuse some blood. It was fine if Qiao Mu didnt know, but how could Boss not know the severity of his injuries? Qiao Mu was so sad and worried, yet Boss didnt even console her tenderly and even pushed her a mile and asked Qiao Mu to say nice words. Since when did Boss need to act pitiful to win a womans affection? This man was really too much! Behind the car, Li Yan chuckled softly. Just as heughed, his wound started to hurt from the vibrations. He endured the pain and looked at her. Qiao Mu, what I want is a heartfelt confession. You dont have to say whatever I tell you to say. Li Yan felt that she would do whatever he asked her to do, so he started to push his luck. Qiao Mu blinked nkly and hurriedly said, lm sincere, Uncle. I really love you. You have to hear me clearly. I love you, I love you As if feeling that simply saying these three words wasnt enough, Qiao Mu began to prove it with her actions as she spoke. She bent down and kissed Li Yans lips. She clumsily and carefully pecked his lips and repeated firmly, Uncle, I love you! Li Yan felt an itch on his lips. It was not enough for her to kiss him lightly. He wanted to deepen the kiss, but she left his lips. He looked at her tear-stained face and smiled. I understand. I know? She confessed to him, and he replied with, I know! Although he was a little unhappy, he was injured and it was normal for him not to respond to her. Under Qiao Mus incessant nagging, they finally arrived at the hospital, and Li Yan was pushed into the operating theater. Qiao Mu waited with difficulty outside the operating theater. She clenched her fists tightly and ced them on her legs, but she still could not control the trembling of her hands. Superintendent Ouyang saw that the girl sitting on the lounge chair was so nervous that her face was pale and her legs were trembling. However, she pretended to be calm and waited quietly. He looked a little pitiful. Thinking of Bosss injuries, Superintendent Ouyang stepped forward. Miss Qiao, Bosss life is not in danger. You dont have to worry. His life was in danger! These four words made Qiao Mus face turn even paler. She suppressed the nervousness in her heart and nodded. Yes, yes, hell be fine. Superintendent Ouyang looked at her. She did not seem to be listening to his exnation at all. This woman really cared about the man in the operating theater. She was different from the woman who used to try her best to get close to Boss. No wonder those women couldnt tolerate Bosss discerning eyes. It turned out that they had sharp eyes! It was fine if he didnt y, but once he yed, he found such a serious girl. At this moment, the lights in the operating theater went off, and the door was opened.. Chapter 360 - 360: Uncle, Don’t Leave Me (4) Chapter 360: Uncle, Dont Leave Me (4) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu abruptly stood up and quickly rushed to the doctor to inquire about the situation. The doctor took off his gloves and said, The patient has already stopped bleeding and lost a lot of blood. He just needs to recuperate for a while. Dont get out of bed for the time being. Qiao Mus anxious heart finally calmed down when she heard the doctors words. Just as she was about to enter the ward, Superintendent Ouyang stopped her. Ms. Qiao, Ill go in and report to Boss about the important matters first. No matter how anxious Qiao Mu was, she still endured it. Since the doctor had already said that she was fine, then she was fine. She could finally heave a sigh of relief. Superintendent Ouyang entered the ward and saw Li Yan lying on the bed. When she saw him enter, her gentle eyes returned to normal and became cold. Superintendent Ouyang muttered in her heart. Was there a need to be so obvious? Wheres Qiao Mu? said Li Yan. Miss Qiao is outside. Boss, let me tell you about the current situation. Im worried that after Miss Qiaoes in, you guys will be lovey-dovey and dy the official business. As Superintendent Ouyang spoke, she felt a cold gaze sweep over. She immediately said seriously, Lei Yi is still searching for Murong Chao. Murong Chao has brought two groups of people to intercept our people. Its only one of them. There might be another group of people with Murong Chao. Boss, youre not feeling well now. Do you want to stay in Hong Kong for the time being to resolve this matter? Li Yans eyes darkened as he looked at the bandages on his abdomen and arms. His injuries looked very serious and terrifying. If the little thing saw this scene, she would definitely cry again. It was indeed not safe to stay here. He could not let the little thing stay here and take risks with him. Moreover, with her around, it was not convenient for him to do things. He was always worried about her. Send someone to send Qiao Mu to the airport discreetly and leave before thest flight today, Li Yan said after some thought. Miss Qiao wants toe in and see you. Dont let her in. Send her away. Tell her that my injuries arent serious. Ill go back after I recover. Tell her to leave first. Superintendent Ouyang was stunned. She didnt understand what Boss meant. He didnt even want to see her face, and he wanted her to leave? The youngdy had been waiting outside anxiously for so long! Superintendent Ouyang did not say anything else and left the ward. Just as he opened the door to the ward, Qiao Mu immediately walked up to him and prepared to enter. Superintendent Ouyang closed the door apologetically and smiled at Qiao Mu. Miss Qiao, you cant go in. What? Qiao Mu was puzzled. Boss wont let you in. Bosss injuries arent serious. Hell be fine in two days. Dont worry. Boss instructed me to send you to the airport. You can go back first. Qiao Mu was stunned. What does that mean? Why didnt he meet me? Is he injured so badly that he doesnt want me to see him? Let me in. Ill go in and see him. I want to stay with him. Im not leaving! Superintendent Ouyang stopped Qiao Mu. Im sorry, Miss Qiao. It was Bosss orders. He told me to let you go, and I was just following his instructions. Boss is really fine. Didnt the doctor say that hes fine too? You can leave first. How could Qiao Mu be willing to leave? She was worried about his safety because she wanted to see him. If he wanted her to leave, she would! She pushed Superintendent Ouyang away forcefully and was about to open the door when Superintendent Ouyang stopped her. Let me in! Superintendent Ouyang was helpless. Miss Qiao, why are you so unpredictable? Boss hates disobedient women the most. He hates being pestered by women the most. Why are you doing this? If he wants you to leave, then leave first. [There are 4 more] Chapter 361 - 361: He Doesn I t Want Her Anymore? Chapter 361: He Doesn I t Want Her Anymore? Trantor: 549690339 Being pestered by a woman? Qiao Mus face instantly paled! She stood rooted to the ground in a daze and looked at the tightly shut door. What did this man mean? In order toplete Li Yans mission, Superintendent Ouyang continued, Lets go, Miss Qiao. Bosss words are an imperial edict. Just do as he says. If he asks you to leave, then leave. Boss has a lot of things to deal with here. Well talk about the rest after he returns. Qiao Mu bit her lip, and the worry in her heart was instantly reced by anger. This bastard, he was a bastard! Qiao Mu kicked the ward behind Superintendent Ouyang. Li Yan, why dont you go to hell! What did he take her for? At this time, he just let her go. Didnt he know that she was very worried about him? Or did he not care at all? He didnt care if she was worried about him! Qiao Mu stared angrily at the door before swiftly turning around and walking out. Superintendent Ouyang looked at the woman in front of her in shock. She was too bold to offend Boss like this! Li Yan, who was in the ward, heard a furious shout. He frowned and got up to see what was going on. However, the movement tore open the wound that had just been stitched. The cup on the table was swept to the ground by him, making a sound. Superintendent Ouyang was about to chase after Qiao Mu when she heard the voice in the ward. She hurriedly said to the person beside her, Follow Miss Qiao and send him to the airport safely. Report back after boarding the ne! Superintendent Ouyang entered the ward and saw that the mans bandages were dyed red. She said in surprise, Boss, why are you out of bed? What happened? Wheres Qiao Mu? Superintendent Ouyang pressed the emergency bell to call the doctor as she said, Miss Qiao has already left. Ive arranged for someone to send him off. Im just a little unhappy to hear that you want her to leave. Uh, it seemed that it was not as simple as being unhappy. Li Yan frowned. It was normal for the little one to be unhappy. He would have a good talk with her when he got back. Qiao Mu sat on the way to the airport, looking extremely pale. Her pale face was devoid of blood, as if she was the one who had lost too much blood. If Li Yan was not injured, she would have barged in and questioned him! How could he do this! He had just passed through danger and he was chasing her away! At the thought of this, Qiao Mus heart fiercely twitched. Tears silently flowed down. Did he not want her anymore? After knowing her feelings and after she confessed to him, he actually dared to abandon her! Did he lose interest in her because he felt that she was no longer challenging him after she confessed to him? When she confessed to him, he did not respond to her at all. He only said, I understand! Qiao Mu bit her lip and felt conflicted. She suddenly raised her head and stared at the driver. I want to go back. I want to go back to the hospital! The driver didnt seem to hear anything and continued driving silently. Stop the car, do you hear me? The chauffeur finally spoke, Miss Qiao, Im just following orders to send you to the airport safely. Please cooperate! I want you to stop! I want to go back! Qiao Mu shouted. At this moment, the car suddenly came to a stop. Of course, the driver didnt stop voluntarily. There was a car in front of him. Qiao Mu instantly tensed up. Could it be that she encountered the same situation as before again? Dont speak, Miss Qiao, the driver said immediately. Dont expose your identity. At this moment, the car door was opened, and a few people outside stared at Qiao Mu.. Chapter 362 - 362: He Doesn I t Want Her Anymore? 2 Chapter 362: He Doesn I t Want Her Anymore? 2 Trantor: 549690339 The man in the lead walked to the car door and saw Qiao Mu. He asked, ls this the woman? The man had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was clearly a Westerner, but he spoke fluent Chinese. Boss, it should be right. This car came from the hotel. someone reported. Should be? Youre just not sure? The chauffeur frowned and looked at them. What are you guys doing? This is the hotels car to send guests to the airport. If you dont move away, Im going to call the police! At this moment, Qiao Mu was already extremely nervous. From the looks of it, she was indeed Li Yans enemy! The tears on her face had yet to dry, and the umted tears in her eyes fell. She clenched her fists nervously. What are you doing? Murong Chao looked at Qiao Mu disdainfully and said in a gloomy voice, Youre Li Yans woman? Which bastard is Li Yan? Dont bother me. Cant you see that Im in a bad mood? Hong Kong men are all bastards. I came all the way here to find my lover, but in the end, I was dumped. Why are you stinky men such bastards! As Qiao Mu spoke, she covered her face and started crying. Murong Chao raised his eyebrows and looked at his subordinate. Are you sure its this barbaric woman? Why would Li Yan like this type? Qiao Mus body stiffened. When she heard the words Why would Li Yan like this type? , her anger deepened and directly hit her explosive point! She couldnt care less who the other party was. She red at him angrily. Who are you? Who are you calling barbaric? Murong Chao looked at Qiao Mu and smiled. If I didnt look closely, I wouldnt have realized that this little face is quite pretty. Are all Asian women like this? Crying sadly while throwing a tantrum? Its quite interesting. The corners of his subordinates mouth twitched. Boss, were here to look for Li Yans woman. Why do you like this chick? Since Boss is interested, why dont we bring it back? Qiao Mu was already extremely nervous, but she pretended to be calm. Youre not human traffickers, are you? I want to call the police! Call the police? How childish! Murong Chao smiled sarcastically. He was about to sav something when a car suddenlv st0DDed beside him. Immediately after, the person in the car got out. When he saw Murong Chao, he smiled and walked over. I didnt expect it to really be Boss Murong. I thought I had misjudged him. Murong Chao regained hisposure when he saw who it was. Young Master Guan, why are you here? What a coincidence! It was Guan Yunxiang! Qiao Mu was stunned. She looked at Guan Yunxiang with a joyful expression, but she did not show it because Murong Chao was present. Im going to the airport to pick someone up, and I happened to pass by this road. Hong Kongs Fengshui has been really good recently. Not only Boss Li, but you too. You didnt even tell me you wereing here. Thats too unkind. As Guan Yunxiang spoke, he looked at Qiao Mu in the car and raised his eyebrows. This is? Murong, how thirsty are you to intercept a woman halfway? This is my territory. Youre too arrogant! Qiao Mu noticed that Guan Yunxiangs expression no longer had the warm and affectionate smile she had seen before. Instead, a faint smile hung on his face, and there was an additional coldness. Murong Chao smiled. Im just looking for someone. Ive found the wrong person. Even if Im thirsty, wouldnt I die of thirst if I came all the way here to find a woman? After Murong Chao finished speaking, he nced at his subordinate, who then closed the car door. Watching the car leave, Guan Yunxiang stopped smiling. Murong, ording to the rules, you are in my territory. As long as you dont mess with me, I wont care about your grudges. Please be more efficient when you do things. Murong Chao smiled wickedly.. As long as Young Master Guan says so, Ill know what to do! Chapter 363 - 363: He Doesn I t Want Her Anymore? 3 Chapter 363: He Doesn I t Want Her Anymore? 3 Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu arrived at the airport with a sorrowful heart. She should thank Guan Yunxiang properly for meeting Li Yans enemy just now. Unfortunately, she did not have Guan Yunxiangs contact information. Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. It was an unknown number. When Qiao Mu picked up the call, she heard Guan Yunxiangs voice. Are we at the airport? Brother Guan! Thank you so much for what you did just now. Otherwise, I would have been dead! Qiao Mu said gratefully. No need to thank me. Youre Babys ssmate. Its my duty to take care of you. However, you cried so hard in the car. Did Li Yan dump you? Guan Yunxiangs words instantly made Qiao Mus mood sink, and she didnt know what to say. He was right. She had been dumped by Li Yan! Guan Yunxiang chuckled. Alright, Im just joking. Its not easy for you toe to Hong Kong. Dont leave with such a sad face. Yes, thank you, Brother Guan. The announcement prompted her to board the ne. Qiao Mu bid farewell to Guan Yunxiang and went to board the ne. In the hospital, Li Yans wound was bandaged again and hey on the hospital bed. Lei Yi rushed over to report the situation. As Murong Chao had intercepted Qiao Mu halfway, his whereabouts had been exposed. At the same time, Superintendent Ouyang received a call. Qiao Mu had sessfully boarded the ne. He put down the phone and told Li Yan, Boss, Miss Qiao has already boarded the ne. Li Yan nodded with a cold expression. When he thought of Qiao Mus near-death encounter, he said coldly, Keep a close eye on Murong Chao. Send someone to snatch the goods from abroad and destroy his camp in South Africa! Since he was insatiable, then he would make him suffer a loss! I wont give him a single cent! Superintendent Ouyang was stunned. Boss, theres no need to be so ruthless, right? It was normal to encounter such a thing in business. He could just retaliate directly against Murong Chao. Not only did he want to snatch the goods, but he also wanted to destroy the warehouse. This counterattack was too ruthless! Li Yan looked at Ouyang Shuo coldly. Did I suffer my injuries for nothing? Hmph, he dared to touch my woman. This time, I wont let him know what he should and shouldnt do. There will be a next time! Lei Yi knew that this man didnt care about himself, but since he dragged Qiao Mu into this, he was truly enraged! He nodded and saw Superintendent Ouyangs surprised face. He dragged Superintendent Ouyang out of the ward. Superintendent Ouyang looked at Lei Yi in surprise. Whats wrong with Boss? You dont have to do this for a woman, right? This kind of action seems to be venting personal anger for that Qiao Mu! Lei Yi nced at Ouyang. Youre not stupid. You can tell that Young Master is venting his personal anger. Ouyang frowned. To do this for a woman Wait, youre saying that Qiao Mu isnt our future sister-inw, right? Lei Yi did not deny it. He looked at Ouyang as if he was saying, You only noticed it now? Superintendent Ouyangs eyes widened as she red at Lei Yi. Why didnt you say so earlier? I always thought that Boss was just looking for a little girl to y with! Looking at Ouyangs fussy expression, Lei Yis eyes were filled with disdain. When has Young Master ever yed with women? Do you think hes like you? Ouyang was speechless. Oh no! Its a big deal! Superintendent Ouyang punched her other palm. I think Ive offended my future sister-inw! Lei Yi was puzzled. Superintendent Ouyang exined the situation outside the ward. Then, Lei Yi smirked gloatingly. You didnt just offend Sister-inw. Just wait for Young Master to punish you! Ouyang was so regretful that his intestines turned green. He really did not treat Qiao Mu as the mistress of the house back then. He thought that Qiao Mu was not important when he saw Li Yan chasing her away. In the end, he was blind! Now, he was in trouble! Chapter 364 - 364: He Doesn’t Want Her Anymore? Chapter 364: He Doesnt Want Her Anymore? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu returned to the school dormitory with two dark circles under her eyes. There was no one in the dormitory. She fell asleep on her small bed. She was extremely tired after the sad journey on the ne. After some time, she was woken up by the noise. She opened her eyes and saw Chi Xia sitting by the bed. Mu Mu, when did youe back? Why did Young Master Li let you go back to the dormitory by yourself? Did you get your freedom? Qiao Mus eyes dimmed, and she grunted, Im free. She waspletely free. That damned man didnt want her anymore! Before she went to Hong Kong, she had the idea of getting rid of Li Yan. However, when she came back, she had the idea of being with him, but he had dumped her! The more Qiao Mu thought about it, the more ufortable she felt, and shey on the bed without moving. Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mu in confusion. What do you mean by freedom? Are you twopletely separated? Or did you reconcile? Why do you look like youve fallen out of love? Baby Guan crossed her arms in front of her chest and said faintly, think she just broke up. Chi Xia was stunned and sighed heavily. She did not know what to say. Qiao Mus situation was simr to hers. She had also found out that Qiao Mu had a fiance. However, she had the ability to break up with Gu Cheng, but Qiao Mu did not have the ability to get rid of Li Yan. They were all the same. It was impossible for the other party to have a fiance and still be entangled with this man. Even if she was sad, she had no choice but to let go! Suddenly, Qiao Mu sat up in agitation. What right does he have to dump me whenever he wants to? What does he take me for? He wants me and kicks me away whenever he wants to. What right does he have?! Tears welled up in her eyes. I was nning to snatch him away from his fiance, but he didnt want me anymore! Chi Xia was stunned. Did she say that she nned to snatch Li Yan back from his fiance? Chi Xia was stunned when she saw Qiao Mus sad expression. She thought that Qiao Mu would let go. But he made such a decision! Chi Xia had never thought about this. When she found out that Gu Cheng had a fiance, she let go of him without hesitation. As expected, Mu Mu was still different from her. She had no choice but to face reality, but Mu Mu wanted to fight for it. Qiao Mu had been losing things since she was young. She had lost too much and was already used to things that did not belong to her slipping away from her hands. Now that she had such thoughts, it meant that Li Yan was really important! Baby Guan had a straightforward temper and said bluntly, Didnt Li Yan treat you badly? A man like that isnt worthy of your love. Although its good to fight for him, there are so many good men out there. You can change your partner. Why dont you change to my brother? My brothers conditions are not inferior to Li Yans at all! If youre with my brother, I can still call you sister-inw! Chi Xia was helpless. Baby, why do you look like youre promoting a product? Dont make things worse. You still have to call me sister-inw when Im with Li Yan, Qiao Mu said listlessly. Uh, thats true. Baby Guan thought about it and said honestly,Actually, I think Li Yan wouldnt have dumped you if he could go to Hong Kong to look for you. Qiao Mu lowered her head in silence. She could only think of one reason, and that was because she confessed to him, and he got his way. He felt bored and dumped her! NO! She definitely did not want to be so unclear. She picked up her phone and called Li Yan. Even if they could not meet, they could still talk! [Todays 10th update is over. Ill say it here. As long as thest chapter of the day doesnt say todays update is over, then todays update isnt over. Chapter 365 - 365: The Truth About Li Yan’s Departure (1) Chapter 365: The Truth About Li Yans Departure (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu nervously dialed Li Yans number. As the phone rang, her heart began to beat faster. She took a deep breath and quietly waited for the other party to pick up the call. She was already mentally prepared. As soon as the call was connected, she would ask him why he had to treat her like this! As long as the call was connected However, the slow toot sound suddenly turned into a busy tone. A mechanical female voice sounded from the phone.lm sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavable In an instant, Qiao Mus boiling heart seemed to have stopped. Did he hang up on her? Now, he was not even willing to pick up her call? She did not give up and continued to call, but the other party had already turned off his phone! Qiao Mu stared at her phone in a daze. The pain in her heart spread as if there was an invisible hand tightly gripping her throat, preventing her from breathing normally. Li Yans actions hadpletely shattered thest glimmer of hope she had in her heart! He really didnt want her! He didnt even bother to pick up her call. He might have cklisted her phone! He said that he wanted her toe back first and that he woulde back after he was done with his business. In fact, it was just an excuse to shirk. He didnt even bother to say a word to her personally and wanted someone else to tell her. If this wasnt a change of heart, what was? No, he never had feelings for her! From the beginning to the end, she was the one who had feelings for him! In the ward of a Hong Kong hospital. A nurse was cleaning up the ward. The man in this ward was not only rich but also powerful. There were many guards outside the ward. He seemed to be a very powerful person. She finally managed to get close to this ce. When she entered, she did not see the mans figure. She only heard the sound of water in the bathroom. She looked at the unfolded nket on the bed and walked over to make the bed. Suddenly, she felt a vibration under the pillow. She reached out to touch it, and her finger identally touched the screen. She hung up the call. She casually ced her phone on the table beside her. Just as her phone was in mid-air, she heard the bathroom door open. In a moment of nervousness, her phone fell to the ground. The nurse picked up the phone in a panic. The phone was broken! Li Yan came out of the bathroom and saw the nurse holding his phone. His face darkened. Who allowed you to touch my things? Mr. Li, Im here to clean up the ward. Get out. Theres no need to clean up here! Li Yan opened his mouth to chase him away. The nurse held the phone carefully. Mr. Li, um, I identally broke your phone. Im sorry, Im sorry. How much is this phone? Illpensate you Put down your phone and get out! Li Yan interrupted with a dark face. The nurse was shocked. She looked at the scary face and could only leave in the end. Li Yan nced at his switched off phone and thought that Qiao Mu should have gotten off the ne by now. However, she actually did not call him to inform him! This little thing must be angry with him because he asked her to go back first and was unhappy. Li Yan did not think too much about it. He put on his coat and prepared to go out. Lei Yi happened toe in. When he saw that the man had put on his clothes, he was slightly stunned. Young Master, you cant be discharged from the hospital with your current condition. Its fine. Ill be careful not to pull my wound. Ill go see Murong Chao first! Li Yan said as he strode out of the ward. He wanted to go back and see his little woman as soon as possible after he settled the matter! Chapter 366 - 366: The Truth About Li Yan’s Departure (2) Chapter 366: The Truth About Li Yans Departure (2) Trantor: 549690339 At this moment, Qiao Mu was lying on the bed in difort, her heart aching like hell. She couldnt understand how that man could be so heartless. He was like this back then, leaving as he pleased. Now, he changed his face as he pleased! This bastard! Suddenly, her phone rang. Qiao Mu was shocked. She picked up her phone and answered the call without even looking at the caller ID. Uncle, you finally Before he could finish, he heard a sarcasticugh from the other end of the phone.Uncle? Qiao Mu, what kind of daydream are you having? Qiao Mu was stunned. Qiao Ya! Why is it you! Qiao Ya sneered. If it werent for me, how would I know that youre still thinking about Uncle? Uncle already has a fiance, yet you still havent given up on him. Youre dreaming about Uncle calling you. Youre really shameless! Qiao Mus expression darkened, and her tone turned colder. If you have something to say, say it! I dont have time to talk nonsense with you! Yeah, youre not free. Youre using all your time to dream! I cant be bothered to talk nonsense with you. You disappeared for a few days and I couldnt get through to you. If I didnt find out that you changed your number, I would have thought that you were kidnapped by human traffickers! Im here to inform you, unfilial daughter. Dad has been discharged from the hospital and wants you to go home! After Qiao Ya finished speaking, Qiao Mu immediately hung up the phone. Qiao Ya wanted to curse at the person who hung up the phone. This wretched girl. She knew that she had evil intentions, yet she still dared to dream of getting her uncle! Qiao Ya ran to Yu Tingyun and said angrily, Mom, Dad asked Qiao Mu toe back today. Will he continue to talk about what he wanted to talk about before the car ident? Qiao Mu is getting more and more cunning now. How can we let her get the Qiao Corporations shares! Yu Tingyun smiled taintly. Dont worry, Ive already settled this matter. Your father wont give Qiao Mu any shares for the time being. Mom, how did you do it? Qiao Ya widened her eyes in surprise. Whats so difficult about that? Dont forget that Qiao Mu has an insatiable mother. As long as your father finds out that Qiao Mu is actually still in contact with that mother of hers, he wont take the Qiao Corporations shares and take a risk on Qiao Mu! Yu Tingyuns expression was cold, but a hint of pleasure shed in her eyes. Qiao Ya was overjoyed. She was finally at ease! Qiao Muposed herself and returned home. When she passed by the Li familys vi, her mood sank again. She walked to the Qiao familys door and was about to turn when she heard Qiao Yas unhappy voice.Why did youe to my house? Hurry up and leave! Miss Qiao, you cant turn your back on me like this. Weve discussed this before. You promised to let me work at the Qiao Corporation. Ive been waiting for your news for so long, but you didnt even hear from me. If I didnte to look for you, what do you want me to do? Qiao Mu listened to the conversation. This voice belonged to Ye Lin! How could Ye Lin be in contact with Qiao Ya? When the design n was leaked, it was clearly Sun Nings doing. Qiao Ya and Ye Lin should be enemies. Qiao Yas voice rang out again, sounding very impatient. Youre really ridiculous. I did agree to your request, but after verification, youre not qualified to enter ourpany with your ability. This is your own problem. Youd better give up. The Qiao Corporation isnt that easy to enter! Ye Lin sneered. I know, youre going back on your word. Back then, you promised me some benefits so that I could teach Qiao Mu a lesson during the school anniversary. Youre really a sinister person. The Qiao family doesnt have any good people. Qiao Mu is like this, and so are you.. How disgusting! Chapter 367 - 367: The Truth About Li Yan ‘s Departure (3) Chapter 367: The Truth About Li Yan s Departure (3) Trantor: 549690339 Dontpare me to Qiao Mu! Why dont you take a look at yourself? You still have the right to call me disgusting? Hurry up and get lost! Qiao Ya turned around and was about to leave when Ye Lin grabbed her in exasperation. The two of them started to pull each other. Qiao Ya shouted for the security guards toe over before she got rid of Ye Lin. Then, she stomped her feet in anger and entered the courtyard. Qiao Mus expression turned cold. It turned out that Qiao Ya had a part to y in pushing her down during the school anniversary! Ye Lin had no other choice but to look for Qiao Ya. No wonder Yu Tingyun knew that she was in the police station. This mother and daughter pair had really used all sorts of methods against her! Qiao Mu entered the vis courtyard, and Qiao Ya was tidying up her clothes at the door. When Qiao Ya saw Qiao Mu, she had a look of disdain on her face. I told you toe back. What are you doing back so early? Dont you know that no one in this house wees you? Qiao Mu sneered. Qiao Ya, I heard your conversation with Ye Lin just now. I really have to thank you for taking care of me! Qiao Ya was stunned, but she did not feel embarrassed at all. She red at Qiao Mu righteously. Youre wee. Ill take extra care of you in the future! Qiao Mu felt that Qiao Ya was truly hopeless. She was extremely evil. When she was young, Qiao Ya was mischievous and childish, but now, she was truly evil to the bone, and her tone was vicious. Qiao Mu went up the steps and was about to enter the house when Qiao Ya mocked her from behind. Qiao Mu, are you still thinking about uncle? Just now, he called me uncle so enthusiastically on the phone. It was as if he was calling me spring. It was disgusting! Shut up! Qiao Mu lost control of her emotions when she heard Qiao Yas words. Yo, are you angry from embarrassment? Qiao Ya sneered and suddenly thought of something. Oh, right, I heard that you went to Hong Kong. Im sure you dont know about the recent news in the maind. Uncles fiance has been exposed. Did you know? The other party is really a beauty. Only such a perfect woman is worthy of uncle! The moment he said this, Qiao Mus footsteps, which were about to enter the house, suddenly stopped. Li Yans fiance was exposed? Qiao Ya handed the phone to Qiao Mu. From the looks of it, you really dont know. Take a look for yourself. Uncle went overseas some time ago to apany his fiance. Uncle is really considerate. Im sure he loves his fiance very much, right? Li Yan went abroad with his fiance? Qiao Mu widened her eyes in disbelief. Even though she did not want to lose herposure in front of Qiao Ya, she still could not help but turn pale. She looked at the image on her phone. The woman on the screen had pretty short hair and was boarding the ne with Li Yan in the VIP area. Qiao Mu felt a sharp pain in her heart. The woman in the photo looked a little familiar. Qiao Ya smiled. This woman is a cellist. Shes already famous in the art world at the age of 20. Shes from a prestigious family and has been performing overseas for a long time. Uncle apanied her and the two of them went overseas for a vacation. Uncle apanied her overseas for a week and didnt return home. Now, the two of them are still on vacation. How envious! Qiao Mu was originally immersed in sadness, but when she heard Qiao Yas words, she was slightly stunned. Li Yan apanied her for a week? Are you still on vacation? How was this possible? Li Yan was clearly in Hong Kong now. He had arrived in Hong Kong a few days ago and was with her 24 hours a day! Qiao Mu looked at the photo at the bottom of the report. It showed Li Yan and that woman shopping. There was something vaguely wrong with the intersection between the two of them in the photo.. Chapter 368 - 368: The Truth About Li Yan’s Departure (4) Chapter 368: The Truth About Li Yans Departure (4) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was very good at photo design. She could tell at a nce whether the photos had been photoshopped or not. She realized that the series of photos below had been tampered with. If one was not a professional, they would not be able to tell! Upon seeing this, the gloom in Qiao Mus heart instantly lessened. She then looked at the first photo of the two of them at the airport. There was no interaction between them and they were both walking through the VIP passage, one in front and the other behind, as if they were strangers. Qiao Mu immediately understood that this was just that womans hype! Qiao Mu sneered when she saw Qiao Yas smug and boastful expression. She raised her phone and threw it away forcefully. Qiao Yas eyes widened as she angrily pointed at Qiao Mu. Are you crazy?! My hand slipped and I identally dropped it. Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Qiao Mu, you just cant ept that you have an auntie. Its just a phone, so its fine if you smash it. I know youre delusional, but just give up. Hell never be yours! Qiao Yas expression was twisted, and she fiercely wanted to see Qiao Mus face change color. Unfortunately, Qiao Mu had already calmed down by now. She coldly looked at Qiao Ya. Thats right, Im just delusional. Im just a little luckier than you, and you dont even have the capital to be delusional. Hes your biological uncle! Oh right, I forgot. You have someone you like. Its Su Chen, right? You talk as if youve found true love. Whos the one whos been hit by a wall in front of Su Chen time and time again? I dont know why youre so arrogant here. Qiao Yas expression changed drastically. She originally wanted to provoke Qiao Mu, but her face turned red from Qiao Mus provocation. Seeing that Qiao Mu was about to enter the room, Qiao Ya roared angrily, Qiao Mu, dont you want to know why Li Yan left without saying goodbye ten years ago? He was so good to you back then, but he suddenly disappeared for no reason. Have you never figured it out? Qiao Mu frowned. What are you trying to say? Back then, Qiao Ya had told him that Li Yan had used her to anger Yu Tingyun! Why did Qiao Ya bring this up at this time? Qiao Ya smiled smugly. Im sure youll be very interested in this matter. Its the truth behind Li Yans departure back then! The truth behind Li Yans departure? Qiao Mu felt her breathing be uneven. Perhaps Qiao Ya was deliberately teasing her by mentioning this, but she still couldnt control her curiosity and felt a little nervous. Could it be that Li Yan had left for another reason? Qiao Ya sensed the change in Qiao Mus expression and smiled. Qiao Mu, do you still remember when I pushed you into the pool back then? After so many years, I wonder if you remember what you said to me back then. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. How could she not remember? All these years, that day was like a scar that would never heal, imprinted in her heart! Qiao Ya continued, At that time, you were so agitated by me that you deliberately said that you approached Li Yan to anger me. You said it so happily, but you didnt know that at that time, Li Yan was not far behind you. I used your name to invite Li Yan to the garden in advance and then induced you to say those words. He heard it. When Uncle heard you say those words, he must have been furious, so he turned around and left. Thats why he didnt see the scene of me pushing you into the water! Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock.. So, Li Yan didnt suddenly disappear because he misunderstood her?! Chapter 369 - 369: The Truth About Li Yan’s Departure (5) Chapter 369: The Truth About Li Yans Departure (5) Trantor: 549690339 Seeing Qiao Mus stunned expression, Qiao Ya felt extremely carefree and delighted! She just wanted to anger Qiao Mu to death and make this wretched girl regret and die of grief! Qiao Mu, actually, Li Yan didnt give up on youpletely because of this matter. When you were having a fever for days, he came to look for you. Unfortunately, I stopped him. I added fuel to the fire and said a few words, but hepletely left. Hahaha, just thinking about this makes me very happy. The two of you were actually deceived by me for so many years! Qiao Yaughed wildly, as if she had done something worth being happy about. The corners of her eyes were creased fromughing! Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly and resisted the urge to punch Qiao Ya in the face! So this was the truth! Li Yan left with disappointment in his heart! At that time, Li Yan felt the same way as her! Hence, Qiao Ya was lying when she said that Li Yan approached her to anger Yu Tingyun! She and Li Yan had misunderstood each other for so many years! It turned out that after meeting him again, not only was she against him, but he must also have a knot in his heart! Even so, he was still with her and treated her well! Qiao Mu took a deep breath. She didnt know if she should be happy or angry after resolving this knot in her heart after so many years. If that was the case, why did Li Yan not want her anymore? Qiao Mu felt her head was in a mess. She was at a loss when she learned the truth at this time! Qiao Yaughed gloatingly. Qiao Mu, feel as sad as you want. Its toote to do anything now. Li Yan has a beloved fiance, so he wont take you seriously at all. So what if he finds out the truth about what happened back then? Could it be that he dumped his fiance and got together with you? Why not? Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly. If Li Yans feelings for her were real, what was one fiance? He would not want ten of them! But He was not even picking up her calls now! Because of this matter, Qiao Mu did not even enter the house and directly left. She wanted to calm down. She seemed to have seen Li Yan, and her heart was in a mess. Qiao Mu left in a hurry, but she didnt see the person hiding behind the door. Ye Lin ended the video recording and looked at the clear picture and conversation on the phone. She smiled coldly. Qiao Ya, you dont have the ability to scheme against me. Now that you have something to use against me, Ill make sure you die! Qiao Mu walked toward the bus stop in a daze. Suddenly, a car stopped beside her. A ck Bentley! Qiao Mus eyes lit up. Could it be that Little Uncle had returned? She went forward in surprise and saw that the person who got out of the car was Li Zheng! In an instant, all the joy disappeared. What was Li Yans father doing now? Was he going to continue persuading her to leave Li Yan? Li Zheng identally saw Qiao Mu. When he thought of Li Yans curse that he would die without any descendants, he became even more concerned about Qiao Mu. In order to ensure that his grandson had a future, Li Zheng decided to tell Qiao Mu about this misunderstanding. Miss Qiao, Li Zheng said as he looked at Qiao Mu, the matter about me looking for you thest time, actually Uncle! Qiao Mu opened her mouth and interrupted Li Zheng. She lifted her chin and looked straight at Li Zheng with a firm tone. I didnt think it throughst time. Now, Ill officially tell you my thoughts. If you still want to persuade me to leave Li Yan, I can only disappoint you. I will never leave him.. No matter what grudges our families have, they cant stop my feelings for him unless Unless he doesnt want me anymore! Chapter 370 - 370: He’s Back (1) Chapter 370: Hes Back (1) Trantor: 549690339 Li Zheng looked at Qiao Mus determined gaze. This girl looked no different from an eighteen or neen-year-old girl. Girls at this age were mostly frivolous and impatient. They only had a decent appearance, but they did not have any shrewdness or inner qualities. However, after two interactions, Qiao Mu gave him apletely different impression. She had the delicate appearance of an eighteen or neen-year-old, and she also had a mentality that was rarely seen at her age. It could be seen from her confident attitude when she faced him. However, Li Zheng never expected Qiao Mu to say such words. Her attitude waspletely different from thest time. Last time, she kept asking him to persuade his son to let go of her. Now, she would not leave his son! Even though he had already epted Qiao Mu as his daughter-inw in his heart, Li Zheng still snorted and said with a rather unpleasant attitude, Your rtionship changes really quickly. If you dont like her today, youll like her tomorrow. Is my son someone you can dump just because you want him? After Li Zheng finished his words, he saw that the originally firm face in front of him had be deste bit by bit. Could it be that he was being too harsh? Just a few words had dealt a blow to her confidence and made her retreat? This Qiao Mu was not as resolute as he thought. Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly, and her tone lowered a little as she spoke in a rather dejected manner, didnt dump him. He dumped me. Uncle, just as you said, he has a fiance. If he really doesnt want me anymore, I wont pester him! Li Zheng suddenly understood. So it was what he said to her before. She thought it was true! Li Zheng was about to say something when Qiao Mu suddenly raised her head and stared at him. Uncle, please dont interfere in our matters. Please respect Li Yans choice! After she finished speaking, Qiao Mu bowed to Li Zheng. Uncle, I still have something on, so Ill be leaving first. Goodbye! After saying this, Qiao Mu turned around and left. She was worried that if she continued to speak, she would be less and less confident. She did not have much confidence to begin with. Li Yan did not want her anymore, but she still said these words to his father. Perhaps in Li Yans fathers eyes, she was a joke! Li Zheng looked at Qiao Mus back view as she left in a hurry and shook his head. Forget it, he couldnt be med for not exining. It was Qiao Mu who didnt listen to his exnation. Qiao Mu had been waiting for Li Yan to call her back, but there was no news from him! She did not receive any news from Li Yan even after school started. It had been nearly ten days since Qiao Mu returned from Hong Kong, and she had been attending sses all day long. The anticipation in her heart had be disheartened. Finally, she could not take it anymore and went to Li Yanspany to look for him. She wanted to ask if Li Yan was at the front desk, but she saw Lei Yi. Lei Yi had returned, so Li Yan must have returned as well! Qiao, why are you here? Assistant Lei, is Li Yan here? I want to see him! Qiao Mu inquired. Did Young Master not contact you? Hes still in Hong Kong dealing with some matters and hasnt returned yet. He didnte back? Then why did youe back? Its like this. I have something to deal with at thepany, so Ill be back first. Young Master will probably be back in a few days. Lei Yi looked at Qiao Mus disappointed expression and recalled Ouyang Shuos words. He continued, Miss Qiao, Young Master has been in a lot of trouble recently. Please wait patiently for Young Master toe back. If you have anything to say, you can ask Young Master face to face. Qiao Mu was stunned.. Lei Yi meant that as long as Li Yan didnt tell her personally, she couldnt take it seriously? Chapter 371 - 371: He’s Back (2) Chapter 371: Hes Back (2) Trantor: 549690339 On the weekend, Qiao Mu was dragged to a banquet by Baby Guan. It was a private banquet of the Lu family. Baby Guan said that she would be officially announced as Lu Jingzhis fiance tonight. Qiao Mu thought that she could ask Li Yans brothers when he wasing back at such an important asion. After arriving at the banquet, Baby Guan went to look for Lu Jingzhi. Qiao Mu was bored and strolled around the banquet when she saw Ling Xi. Ling Xi smiled and walked up to Qiao Mu. Sister-inw, why are you loitering around here alone? Why didnt youe with my big brother? Qiao Mu was stunned. Li Yan is back? You dont know? Ling Xi frowned. Big Brother will be attending this banquet today. Didnt he tell you when he came back? Qiao Mus heart instantly turned cold. Li Yan did not contact her when he returned! Ling Xi realized that he had said something wrong. He coughed lightly and said, Well, actually, I dont know exactly when my brother will be back. I only know that he will be here tonight. Qiao Mu only felt her throat burning. Since Ling Xi said that Li Yan woulde, she would wait here! Beijing Airport. Li Yan got off the ne and got into the car. Lei Yi drove and reported the recent matters of thepany. At the end, he said, Young Master, Miss Qiao went to thepany to look for you. I told her that Jin Jin will be back in a few days. Li Yan raised his eyes. Murong Chao is still restless. Let him keep an eye on Qiao Mu. I dont know what he can do, so we should be more careful for now. After this matter waspletely resolved, he would tell her clearly that he would endure it for two days. Young Master, if Miss Qiao knew that you were back and hid it from her, would she misunderstand? Lei Yi asked. No, shes not that petty. Li Yans words came naturally. The little thing had already confessed to him and knew her feelings. He had never felt so at ease before. Even if he was busy with other things, he was very assured of her. Young Master is thinking too much about women! Suddenly, a cold gaze swept over. Lei Yis body stiffened and he immediately retracted his gaze to focus on driving. Behind her, the mans voice sounded darkly, Lei Yi, I remember that you told me that Qiao Mu went to Hong Kong as an exchange student? Lei Yi was speechless. F * ck! Why did this man suddenly mention this when he was unprepared? Lei Yis expression did not change. Young Master, I didnt say that. I just wanted to tell you that Miss Qiao has gone to Hong Kong. Fourth Young Master told me about this. When I found out, I immediately told you! If Young Master wanted to pursue the matter, he would me it all on Young Master Ling! Li Yans lips curled up and he snorted coldly. Ling Xi is quite bold. He even dared to bribe the people around me! Lei Yi was speechless. There was no bribery at all, alright? He was loyal to the heavens! Lei Yi immediately changed the topic. Are your injuries alright? Li Yan kowtowed. Its Uncle Lus birthday party today. Of course I have to go. At the banquet, Qiao Mu waited anxiously. Ling Xi was also bored, so he sat beside Qiao Mu. Suddenly, Ling Xis phone rang. He opened his phone and looked at the message. It was from Lei Yi:Young Master knows what you instructed me to do. Hes about to arrive at the banquet. Ling Xi put away his phone and stood up. Qiao Mu looked at him in confusion, only to see him smile and say, 1 suddenly remembered that I have something to do.. Ill leave first! Big brother is here, send my regards! Chapter 372 - 372: He’s Back (3) Chapter 372: Hes Back (3) Trantor: 549690339 After Ling Xi left, Qiao Mu sat alone in anxiety. Seeing the peopleing and going, she got up and wanted to take a stroll in the side hall. She walked around and saw Baby Guan in the corridor. Baby Guan was knocking on a door and shouting, Lu Jingzhi, are you inside? The banquet is about to start. Why are you hiding in the room? Immediately after, the door to the room opened. From Qiao Mus angle, she couldnt see who opened the door, only to see Baby Guans expression suddenly change. Who are you? Baby Guan asked angrily. Why are you in Lu Jingzhis room? Baby Guan took a step back. The person in the room walked out. It was a woman in a sexy dress. One of the straps of the dress slid down her shoulder, and her breasts were faintly discernible. The womans face was slightly red, and there was a hint of awkwardness on her face. When she saw Baby Guan, she hurriedly tidied her clothes and ran away. Baby Guan grabbed the woman and threw her onto the ground. She continued to ask,Speak! What did you do in the room? At this moment, Lu Jingzhi walked out of the room. Compared to the womans disheveled appearance, Lu Jingzhi was dressed neatly. There was not even a crease in his clothes. Baby Guan looked at the woman and then at Lu Jingzhi. She was so angry that her face turned red. Lu Jingzhi, youre in the room You bastard! Lu Jingzhi frowned and nced coldly at the woman who had fallen to the ground. Get lost! The woman got up and ran away in her high heels in a panic. Then, Lu Jingzhi looked at Baby Guan as if nothing had happened. Thats enough. Dont cause trouble. Lets go to the front hall. Faced with Lu Jingzhis calmness, Baby Guan gritted her teeth in anger. She raised her arm and threw a punch at Lu Jingzhi. Lu Jingzhi reacted quickly and grabbed her fist. Baby Guan, its my dads birthday party today. Dont mess around! Stop fooling around? Am I making a scene? Lu Jingzhi, youre a beast. You know that today is Uncles birthday party, but you still did such a thing. How can you let me down? Lu Jingzhis face darkened and Baby Guan raised her leg to kick him. As the gown was in the way, she tore the hem of the gown from the soles of her feet to the base of her thighs and then kicked Lu Jingzhi. As Lu Jingzhi blocked her attack, he said angrily, Baby Guan, what are you trying to do! Bastard! Are you letting me down? Ive been here for two months, and Ive rarely seen you. If you dislike me, just say it. You actually hid it from me and slept with another womanShameless! Lu Jingzhi grabbed her long leg that was about to kick him again and said impatiently, just despise you, okay? Baby Guans movements froze and she retracted her leg, her face slightly pale. Lu Jingzhi looked down at her slender and fair legs. He frowned as he took off his coat and tied it around Baby Guans waist, trying to cover her exposed parts. Woman, can you be more peaceful? What day is it today? Dont give me any trouble! she grumbled impatiently. Baobei Guan took a step back, tore off the clothes around her waist and threw them on the ground. She sneered,Alright, I wont cause you any trouble. From now on, well go our separate ways! Baby Guan turned around to leave, but Lu Jingzhi stopped her. Where are you going? None of your business! She pushed Lu Jingzhi away and left in big strides.. Chapter 373 - 373: He’s Back (4) Chapter 373: Hes Back (4) Trantor: 549690339 Around the corner, Qiao Mu saw Baby Guan walking over. When Baby Guan noticed her, she said embarrassedly, 1 didnt mean to peek. Its nothing. I didnt do anything shameful. Baby Guan raised her chin, her expression normal. Qiao Mu bent down and tied a knot on her skirt to cover her exposed spot. Its better to go and change your clothes first. As she spoke, Qiao Mu raised her head to look at Baby Guan, only to see that Baby Guans eyes were covered with ayer of mist. Baby Guan raised her arm and wiped away her tears. No need. Lu Jingzhi gave me a loud p in the face so tantly. This image is nothing! Baby Guan strode into the front hall with Qiao Mu following behind. On the stage, Papa Lu was speaking. Today, I would like to make an announcement. Jingzhis fiance As she spoke, Baby Guan went up on stage and said bluntly, Uncle, Auntie, thank you for your love for me. Ten minutes ago, I was indeed Lu Jingzhis fiance. From this moment on, I am no longer. On behalf of the Guan familv, I will cancel this marriage. This is the decision that Lu Jingzhi and I have reached! Qiao Mu, who was below the stage, was stunned when she heard this. Baby Guan did not hesitate at all. Such a big matter was decided just like that! Qiao Mu turned her head and looked at Lu Jingzhi, who was beside her. He had a gloomy expression on his face and his ck eyes were staring at Baby Guan with anger in them. Qiao Mu felt that why did their marriage seem like a childs y? Baby Guan was always so arrogant. Everything she did seemed to be a temporary interest. If Qiao Mu had not seen her crying just now, she would have thought that she did not really love Lu Jingzhi at all. Just as she was thinking, Qiao Mu turned around and saw the man at the entrance. She stared at the tall figure in shock. This manHe had indeed returned! Baby Guan got off the stage and walked to Qiao Mu. Lets go, Mumu. Qiao Mus gaze was fixed on Li Yan, but Baby Guan did not notice it. She only wanted to leave this ce as soon as possible, so she grabbed Qiao Mus wrist and walked out. Qiao Mu was stunned and did not respond. When she passed by Li Yan, he only nced at her once before letting her leave as if nothing had happened! It was as if they were strangers! After leaving the banquet hall, Qiao Mu still did not react in time. He really pretended not to know her! His heart ached. At this moment, a car stopped in front of him and Lei Yi got out. Miss Qiao, please get in the car. Young Master asked me to wait for you outside. Wait for me? He was clearly looking at her as if she was a stranger just now! Miss Qiao, if you have any questions, get in the car and wait for Young Master toe out. Ill be leaving first then, Mumu, said Baby Guan. Baby Guan! Stop right there! As soon as Baby Guan finished speaking, Lu Jingzhis roar came from behind her. Baby Guans expression turned cold. She called a taxi and left immediately, shaking off Lu Jingzhi. This damned woman! Lu Jingzhi looked furious. Qiao Mu stood in front of the car and hesitated for a moment before getting in. As she sat in the car, she could not understand why Li Yan would do this. Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind. Li Yan was acting like he didnt know her in front of others and was interacting with her in private. Could it be that he wanted to be with her secretly? At the thought of this, Qiao Mus face paled. She clenched her fists tightly and ced them on her legs. She gritted her teeth to suppress the uneasiness in her heart.. Chapter 374 - 374: He’s Back (5) Chapter 374: Hes Back (5) Trantor: 549690339 If he really had such thoughts and wanted to develop her into a secret lover so that she would not hinder his fiance This bastard! If he really dared to do this to her, she would die with him! At the banquet, Li Yan left impatiently after congratting Father Lu. He hadnt seen his little woman for many days, and he had only taken a quick nce at her just now. Because he had many ears and eyes, he didnt want to get too close to her and be targeted. After all, it wasnt safe for him to be by his side right now. He had nned to look for her after everything was settled in two days, but after seeing her, he couldnt wait any longer. He couldnt suppress the urge to pull her into his arms! At the same time, he realized that his little woman did not look good. She seemed to have lost some weight and looked very bad. Could it be that she was so worried about him that she could not eat or sleep well? The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. He recalled the little things confession that day, and no matter how bad his mood was, he felt very happy. Qiao Mu was waiting nervously with her head lowered when the car door suddenly opened. She jerked her head up and saw that familiar figure get into the car. A cool breeze blew into the car from his body. Then, he sat down at the side and closed the door. Drive, he said to Lei Yi. Qiao Mu sat stiffly without moving and looked at the man in front of her. The man she had been missing and worried about all day had finally appeared before her at this very moment! Li Yan got into the car, but he did not receive the expected hug. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the little one. Why arent you saying anything? What do you want me to say? Li Yan, what do you mean? Qiao Mu had wanted to calmly question him. Even if she received a sad response, she would still pretend to be calm and not embarrass herself. However, the moment she opened her mouth, her tone was a little resentful, and she could not control the emotions in her heart. Li Yan frowned. He felt that something was wrong with the little things tone. He reached out to hold her hand on his knee and asked,Whats wrong? Are you angry with me? Dont touch me! Qiao Mu flung him away. Li Yan, make yourself clear. Dont even think about touching me again! Li Yan did not expect such a reaction from her. He narrowed his eyes. Qiao Mu, what happened? Tell me clearly. What happened? Qiao Mu found itughable. Everything was arranged by him, yet he asked her what happened! She red at him angrily. Li Yan, dont think that youre so great just because I like you! Even if I like you, you have no right to bully me like this! If you want to chase me away, then chase me away. If you want to summon me back, then I have to be obedient, right? I have dignity, and you want me to be your lover in private! What did you say? What did he mean by chasing her away? What secret lover? At that moment, Li Yan realized that something was out of his control. If everything had developed as he had expected, this little thing would not have been so agitated. When you were in the hospital, you asked Superintendent Ouyang to chase me away, but you didnt tell me when you came back. Even if you dont want me anymore, is it so difficult for you to tell me yourself? Since you dont want me, why are you looking for me now? And youre even sneaking around. If you want to develop me into your secret lover, Ill die for you! Qiao Mus emotions were agitated, and the emotions that she had suppressed for too long instantly erupted at this moment. Li Yan frowned after hearing her words. The misunderstanding will be resolved tomorrow.. Continue to ask for rmendation votes, month votes -J Chapter 375 - 375: Uncle, I’m Sorry (1) Chapter 375: Uncle, Im Sorry (1) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan looked at the little woman without batting an eyelid. So, you think Im sad because I dont want you anymore? She red at him angrily when she heard him describe her pain in a light tone. Im not sad! Im not sad! Dont think that just because I confessed to you, I have to be with you. Dont think that just because I like you, you can order me around. Li Yan, let me tell you, my feelings must be clean. If theres even a little impurity, I dont want it! Dont even think about making me the third party in your marriage! Li Yan was helpless. She even brought up the third party. This little womans imagination was really rich! At this moment, Li Yan was in a good mood. The more angry and sad the little one was, the more she cared about him. Leaning back in his seat, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and nced at her indifferently. If theres anything else you want to say, just say it. Qiao Mu was stunned. What did he mean by this? Was he asking her to say what she wanted to say, and then she could leave? From then on, the two of them went their separate ways. He chose his fiance and did not want her anymore? Qiao Mu bit her lip hard. She had never felt such humiliation before. She had already confessed her feelings like this, yet she was met with such a cold attitude from this man! The corners of his lips were still curled up into a faint smile. His expression was calm and did not take her sadness seriously at all. It was as if he was watching a joke! The anger in her heart instantly burned. She shouted angrily, Stop the car! I want to get off! I dont want to talk to you anymore! Bastard, let me tell you, I dumped you. Dont be so arrogant! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. You still want to dump me? Did I give you the right? Why are you the only one who can dump me and not you! When did I say I was going to dump you? Thats what you mean! How can you be so smart? I dont even know what I mean, but you know what I mean? Qiao Mu was exasperated. He was still beating around the bush with her at a time like this! Li Yan looked at her angry face and reached out to pull her into his embrace. Alright, calm down. Lets talk Let go of me! Who allowed you to touch me? Let go! Qiao Mu struggled reflexively and resisted a few times in his embrace. Suddenly, she heard the man grunt in a slightly suppressed voice. She froze and suddenly remembered that he was injured! She looked up and saw the man frowning slightly, as if he was in pain. She wanted to get out of his arms, but his arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, not allowing her to move. She could only lean against his chest motionlessly. This injury was clearly endured for her. He could get hurt for her, so how could he just say that he did not want her? Smelling the scent on the mans body, Qiao Mu felt her nose turn sour and wanted to cry. In the next second, tears flowed out. In the past few years, no matter how much Qiao Ya bullied her, she had already trained herself to be a protective shell and never shed a single tear. She thought that she was strong enough to not cry, but ever since she got together with him, her tear nds were like an open valve that could easily lose control. The worst thing about this man was that he treated her well and was cruel to her at the same time! Qiao Mu raised her head and red at him with tears in her big eyes. Go away. When you chased me away and didnt want me, I already didnt like you. If I knew you were so shameless, I wouldnt have liked you at all! Li Yan frowned when he saw her giving way to him. His heart softened when he saw her tearful face. He felt his heart ache when he thought about how she had been misunderstanding him all this while.. Chapter 376 - 376: Uncle, 1 1 m Sorry (2) Chapter 376: Uncle, 1 1 m Sorry (2) Trantor: 549690339 Hisrge hand gently wiped her tears and said helplessly, Alright, stop crying. I wont tease you anymore. Dont touch me, I hate you! She pped his hand away, and then she saw the face approaching her. Mm Almost as soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, Li Yan cupped her face and kissed her lips urately, stopping her from saying anything. Qiao Mus eyes widened as she looked at his face that was inches away from her. She tried to push him away with all her might, but when she saw his frowning expression of enduring the pain, she did not dare to use any more strength, afraid that she would touch his wound. At this moment, she still cared if he was injured or not. He was really hopeless! His tongue went straight into her mouth and did whatever he wanted. She opened her mouth and bit his lips hard to stop him from continuing. However, the man did not feel any pain at all. Instead of retreating, he advanced! She couldnt be pushed or bitten, so Qiao Mu burst into tears of frustration as she was kissed. Li Yan was stunned. He quickly stopped and pulled the little woman into his arms. He patted her back gently. Be good, dont cry anymore. You bully me, bastard! You only know how to bully me! Qiao Mu wailed loudly, no longer caring about her image. She was just sad and upset, and her heart felt terrible. Li Yans heart ached as he hugged her and whispered, Mu Mu, I didnt abandon you. Trust me, okay? Qiao Mu continued to bawl her eyes out. After a long while, she stopped crying in a slow manner and blinked herrge, watery eyes at him. What did you say? Did he just call her Mu Mu? Li Yan looked at her dumbfounded expression and said helplessly, 1 didnt abandon you. Youre mine. How can I abandon you? Qiao Mu blinked her eyes nkly. She could no longer tell which of his words were true and which of his words were deceiving her. She pursed her lips and sobbed, What about your fiance? If you want your fiance, dont be with me. If you want to be with me, dump your fiance! Good! Li Yan smiled and patted her head. Lets go home first. Thats not my home! Li Yan felt helpless when he saw how stubborn the little thing was. This little woman who refused to admit defeat actually confessed to him. He should really be d that he was so important to her. Qiao Mu was truly exhausted from crying. Although she did not want to be so close to him, she really did not want to move in his embrace. As she hadnt slept well for a few days, she was a little sleepy after crying enough in his arms. In a daze, she heard the mans voice above her head.lf you still want your grandson, go home in half an hour and exin everything to me. Grandson? Qiao Mu frowned in confusion. Who was Li Yan talking to on the phone? Li Yan hung up the phone after saying that, ignoring the reaction of the person on the other end of the phone. If it werent for his parents who were dragging him down, things wouldnt have taken such a big detour and made his little one so sad. Li Yansrge hand gently stroked Qiao Mus hair. Even though he had taken a big detour, he had gained quite a lot. When the car arrived at the Li family vi, Qiao Mu fell asleep in a daze. Looking at her quiet face, Li Yan could not bear to wake her up. He gently carried her out of the car, and Lei Yi quickly said, Young Master, you havent recovered from your injuries yet. Wake Miss Qiao up. After Lei Yi finished speaking, Li Yan red at him coldly. Im not that weak. Lei Yi immediately shut up. He was really a busybody! At this moment, a car drove into the courtyard. The sound of an emergency brake made Li Yan frown slightly. He lowered his head to look at the little woman who was still sleeping soundly, then turned to look at the person who came.. Chapter 377 - 377: Uncle, I’m Sorry (3) Chapter 377: Uncle, Im Sorry (3) Trantor: 549690339 When the ck car stopped, the door to the passenger seat opened. Yu Yiduo jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped. What are you so anxious about? Li Zheng asked with concern. Do you think your grandson will run away?! Lei Yi, who was standing at the side, instantly understood what was going on. When they were in the car, the young master had called the old master and mentioned his grandson. Therefore, the young master had deliberately lied to them! Instantly, ayer of cold sweat appeared on Lei Yis forehead. This cold sweat was for Ouyang and Ling Xi. Young Master wouldnt even let his own parents off. It seemed that Ouyang and Young Master Ling were going to be in trouble! Yu Yiduo was wearing a short-haired wig, a hat, shorts, and a t-shirt. This was the same outfit she wore when she was photographed with Li Yan that night. In order to exin things to Qiao Mu simply and clearly, she even wore a wig. She rushed to Li Yan and said in surprise, Son, is Mumu really pregnant? Li Yan carried Qiao Mu into the house and reminded her softly, Mom, lower your voice. Shes asleep. Oh, oh! Yu Yiduo nodded her head vigorously, unable to hide her happiness. Li Yan carried Yu Yiduo upstairs into the room. Yu Tingyun followed closely behind and chattered on in a low voice, Aiya, why does Mumu look so haggard? I havent seen her for a few days. Why did she lose so much weight? This cant do. She needs to take good care of her body! Li Yan carefully ced Qiao Mu on the bed and covered her with a nket. He said coldly, lsnt this all your credit? Yu Yiduo chuckled. Son, Im helping your rtionship improve by leaps and bounds. Look, isnt the result obvious? You brought my grandson out in an instant! Li Zheng, who was standing at the door, snorted. Youre quite obedient. I said that as long as I can have grandchildren, Im willing to have a pig daughter-inw. You really did it! Hearing this, Yu Yiduo was unhappy. She stood at the door and pointed at Li Zheng. I dare you to say that again. Hurry up and leave. Dont disturb my daughter-inw! In her sleep, Qiao Mu vaguely heard the sounds of conversation around her. She opened her eyes in a daze and was stunned when she saw her current surroundings. She turned her head and saw Li Yan standing by the bed. There was someone else beside him. When she saw that Dersons back. Oiao Mus eves instantlv widened. The woman in the room was Li Yans fiance in the photo. She was dressed exactly the same, and Qiao Mu recognized her just by looking at her back. She sat up abruptly and pointed at the back of the man, ring at Li Yan. Why is she here?! Qiao Mus furious roar shifted everyones attention to her. Li Yan nced to the side without batting an eyelid. Then youll have to ask her herself. Qiao Mu was already gasping for breath from anger. At this moment, the woman turned around, and her vision blurred. She saw the other party swiftly rush to the bedside and grab her hand. She was disgusted and shook him off forcefully. Just as she was about to say something, she heard him shout with a smile,Mu Mu. This voice Qiao Mu finally saw the womans face clearly, and her eyes widened once again. Li Yans mother? Qiao Mu was instantly stunned. She opened her mouth and stammered, Ah.. Auntie, why? Is it you? Yu Yiduo took off her hat and wig. See? Its indeed me. Sigh, Mumu, Im sorry for letting you misunderstand Ah Yan.. Chapter 378 - 378: Uncle, 1 1 m Sorry (4) Chapter 378: Uncle, 1 1 m Sorry (4) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu waspletely unable to describe her current feelings. She found it hard to digest this fact! The fiance that she had set her eyes on for so long was actually Li Yans mother? Li Yan had told her before that the person in the photo was his mother, but he couldnt tell what Yu Yiduo looked like in the photo at all. Most importantly, one had long hair and the other had short hair! In addition, Li Yans father came to herter and said that that person was Li Yans fiance. She was even more convinced! However, at this moment, the situation changed drastically! Yu Yiduo gently patted Qiao Mus back andforted her. Dont be angry. Dont be angry at a time like this. Its Aunties fault. Dont be angry with Ah Yan. He actually cares about you very much! Yu Yiduo was worried that if Qiao Mu didnt n to keep her grandson after the two of them had a conflict, wouldnt she be the main culprit? Therefore, she keptforting him and saying good things. As he spoke, he red at Li Zheng who was standing at the door. Li Zheng coughed lightly and said, Qiao Mu, actually, Im telling you. Li Yan has a fiance. He just wants to test you. Right now, its more important for you to take good care of your body. Qiao Mu blinked in a daze. This treatment had suddenly increased by hundreds of times! She raised her head and looked at Li Yan, who remained calm and collected. All this time, she had misunderstood her. There was really no such thing as a fiance! Since he didnt have a fiance, then there wouldnt be any messy things after that. He had always been alone with her. He had always been hers! Qiao Mus mood instantly leaped from the bottom of the valley to heaven. This feeling was a joy that she could not suppress. All the gloom instantly disappearedpletely! However, what did he mean by asking her to take care of her body? She was in good health. Li Yan should be the one taking good care of her. He should be the one who was injured! Qiao Mu realized that she was sitting on the bed rudely in front of the two elders. She immediately got up and wanted to get off the bed, but Yu Yiduo stopped her. Mumu, lie down obediently. Dont get out of bed. Your body needs more rest. Qiao Mu was puzzled. Auntie, my body is fine. I dont need to rest. The one who should rest is Little Uncle. Hes injured. Yu Yiduo shook her hand. Dont bother about him. You are the most important thing now. Take care of your body and give birth to my grandson. SunZi? Qiao Mu was confused by Yu Yiduos words. Where did this grandsone from? She suddenly remembered that Li Yan had mentioned the word grandson on the phone in the car. She looked at Li Yan in confusion. What grandson? Qiao Mus confused expression and her face of ignorance made Yu Yiduo immediately sense that something was amiss. She asked for confirmation, Arent you pregnant? Qiao Mu was instantly dumbfounded! She shook her head vigorously. Auntie, Im not pregnant! Li Zheng, who was at the door, frowned and red at Li Yan. What exactly happened? Li Yan smiled nonchntly. What do you mean what happened? When did I say she was pregnant? Im just saying that if you donte and exin clearly, dont even think about having a grandchild in the future. Qiao Mu was speechless. Yu Yiduo was speechless. Li Zheng was speechless. You bastard,e out with me. How dare you fool your father! Li Zheng roared angrily. Li Yan followed him out nonchntly. Outside the room, Li Zhengs roar could be heard. In the room, Qiao Mu looked at Yu Yiduo awl?vardly. Who knew that Li Yan woulde up with such a trick to deceive his parents! This was simply too ruthless! Chapter 379 - 379: Uncle, I’m Sorry (5) Chapter 379: Uncle, Im Sorry (5) Trantor: 549690339 Yu Yiduo sighed. Sigh, I knew it. I dont have such a good life. How could I have a grandson so early? Mu Mu, this is all my fault. Dont be angry with me. No, Auntie. You dont really want to separate us. Its just a misunderstanding. Its all in the past. Qiao Mu said considerately. Then youre not angry at Ah Yan? Yu Yiduos eyes immediately lit up when she saw Qiao Mu nod after asking. She patted Qiao Mus hand and said earnestly, ln that case, you have to work harder and let Mom and Dad have grandchildren as soon as possible. Dont let us be surprised for nothing. You know that were old and our psychological endurance is too weak. If you provoke us like this, well easily get sick! Qiao Mus lips twitched. How should she respond to this? At this moment, Li Yan returned to his room and said calmly, Mom, if you dont leave now, your grandson might have to be born one more day. Qiao Mu was speechless. This man was shameless! How could he say such words! However, Yu Yiduo understood immediately. She stood up and walked out, saying, Alright, I wont dy your rest anymore. Rest early! Yu Yiduo waved her hand and left. When she walked out of the room, she even closed the door. The corners of Qiao Mus lips continued to twitch. Did he have to do this!? She was very thin-skinned, alright? Silence returned to the room, leaving Qiao Mu and Li Yan alone. Qiao Mus emotional ups and downs were soothed at this moment. At this moment, he truly felt the happiness in his heart. After the extreme sadness and pain, it felt very different to experience this kind of mood again. This man had always been hers! Uncle. She looked at him and called out softly. The man merely raised his eyebrows and looked at her calmly. Do you believe me now? Qiao Mu nodded. When she thought of all the earth-shattering things that had happened recently, the outrageous words she had said to him when she was angry, and how she had repeatedly hurt him with her words and resisted him with her actions, she felt extremely guilty. She got out of bed and walked to him. She took the initiative to hug his waist and looked up at him. Uncle, Im sorry. This apology came from the bottom of her heart. Her soft voice caressed Li Yans heart like a feather, making his heart soften. He raised his arms and wrapped them around her body, sighing. Silly girl, when did you be so sensible? You even know how to apologize. How could he be angry with her? He couldnt wait to feel sorry for her. How much had she suffered these past few days? How sad was she without him knowing? At this time, she still came to apologize to him! His little thing was really bing more and more sensible. Qiao Mu pouted. Not only will I apologize, but Ill also confess! Actually, youve benefited from my confession. Hmph, youre lucky! Li Yan chuckled softly. Qiao Mu was familiar with his devilish smile. Great, her uncle was back! Immediately after, a mans voice sounded in her ear.Youve indeed earned it. In that case, Ill reward you properly. Before Qiao Mu could react, she had already flown into the air and was carried up. In the next second, she was ced on therge bed. The man leaned forward with a burning breath. Qiao Mu suddenly thought of something and stopped him. Uncle, youre still injured! This injury wont stop me from rewarding you. Qiao Mu was speechless.. Chapter 380 - 380: Sorry, Uncle (6) Chapter 380: Sorry, Uncle (6) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was a little breathless from the mans scorching breath. In her memory, she hadnt been so intimate with him for a long time. The only time was when she was drunk and half-asleep. She had finally untied the knot in her heart. At this moment, it was as if she was hugging him like this. Suddenly, she remembered that Qiao Ya had told her the truth from ten years ago. She ced her hands in front of her and wanted to talk to him. Uncle, I have something to say. Its What are you talking about? Lets talk after Im done rewarding you! The man was a little impatient as he kissed her chattering lips. Qiao Mus head felt heavy and her body felt a little weak. Faced with the mans domineering aura, she could not help but blush. Li Yan chuckled softly. Little thing, werent you quite passionate and open thest time? Why are you so shy now that your confession is sessful? Qiao Mu was speechless. Youre the one Whos passionate about it, but Im not! Still not admitting it? Its okay if you dont remember what happened that night. Let me help you remember. After you were drunk, you really opened my eyes. You confessed to me and pushed me down at the same time. I didnt know that you had this side to you.. Shut up! Dont spout nonsense! Qiao Mu red at him with a flushed face and pushed him away angrily and shyly. Just as the two of them were entangled, Qiao Mu identally touched a bandage wrapped around his lower body, which was loosely piled around his waist. Startled, she quickly took off his clothes, but the man chuckled. Why, are you so impatient? Uncle, your bandages are undone! Qiao Mu immediately tensed up. She flipped over and sat up, pressing the man down on the bed. Qiao Mus heart ached when she saw the bandage around his waist. Dont move around. The bandage is so serious. You have to rest well now! Be good. Its just a small injury. Its not a big deal. He knew that she would be worried when she saw the bandages. You still say youre fine? Do you think your body is made of iron? Hurry up and lie down. Call the doctor to rebandage the bandages. Li Yan sighed helplessly when he saw how anxious the little one was. Then, under Qiao Mus strong request, Li Yan could only call the family doctor over. A moment of spring night was worth thousands of gold, but it was wasted just like that. The doctor rushed over and took off the bandages on Li Yans body and put on a new one. Qiao Mu stood at the side and looked at the scar left behind on her honey-colored skin. Her heart ached. That scar had yet topletely heal, and she felt pain just by looking at it. After the doctor finished bandaging the wound, he could not help but remind her, Mr. Li, your wound still needs to heal slowly. Its better for you to do less strenuous exercise recently. Qiao Mus attention was all on Li Yans injury. After hearing the doctors words, she did not quite understand the hint in his words, so she quickly asked, Doctor, what does strenuous exercise include? The doctor cleared his throat. Including all kinds of exercise. All the strenuous exercise? Qiao Mu reacted for a moment and identally saw a hint of a devilish smile on Li Yans handsome face. She immediately understood what the doctor meant and was so embarrassed that she could not raise her head. It waste at night, and the bandage had been removed on the bed. One did not need to think to think that he had done something! Li Yan nced at the woman who was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He nodded at the doctor and said seriously, I understand. After the doctor left, Li Yan waved at Qiao Mu. Come and sit. No, the doctor said that you cant do strenuous exercise. Qiao Mu stood rooted to the spot and did not approach.. Chapter 381 - 381: Sorry, Uncle (7) Chapter 381: Sorry, Uncle (7) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan smiled helplessly. Little thing, whats in your head all day? Getting close to me is for you to exercise? Youre getting more and moreplicated. Qiao Mu was speechless. Not pure your sister! Qiao Mu sat down by the bed with a red face. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the bloodstains on the gauze that she had taken out from the trash can, and her small face instantly fell. Her fingers gently drew circles on his bandages. Uncle, does it hurt? Yes, it did hurt at that time, but after hearing your affectionate confession, it didnt hurt that much. So if you want tofort me, confess again. Li Yan grabbed her naughty little hand and looked at her with a smile. Qiao Mu red at him with her round eyes. Li Yan, youre pushing your luck! Youre too much! Laughing softly, he patted the bed beside him. Come up and sleep. Qiao Mu stood up and walked out. In order to help your body recover earlier, Ill sleep in the guest room from today onwards. Li Yan was speechless. Before he could speak, the little woman had already opened the door and left. The next day, Qiao Mu did not have sses and stayed at home to apany Li Yan. Qiao Mu was surfing the inte on her phone. When she saw that the post about Li Yan and his fiance on vacation a few days ago had been hyped up again, she handed her phone to Li Yan. Uncle, look at how loving you and your fiance are. His tone was a little sour. Although she knew that it was just hype and had nothing to do with this man, she felt ufortable that her man was considered another womans fiance. Li Yan nced at the screen and raised his eyebrows. He picked up his phone and called Lei Yi. Clean up all the reports about my fiance. The corners of Qiao Mus lips curled up when she heard the mans words. She suddenly thought of something and tilted her head to look at Li Yan.Uncle, you dont have a fiance. Why are you sneaking around with me like a thief, afraid that others will find out? Li Yan lifted his eyelids and nced at her. You have the cheek to say that? Who was the one who had been sneaking around with me from the beginning? You finally know how it feels? Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, this was her tant revenge! Li Yan opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace. He said calmly, Theres been some trouble with business recently, and I dont want to drag you into it. So dont expose our rtionship in public. Qiao Mu immediately understood. So this was the reason! It was probably because of this that he asked her to leave first in Hong Kong. Qiao Mu sat cross-legged on the sofa. Uncle, when I was rushing to the airport in Hong Kong, I was stopped by someone. I was almost kidnapped, but Big Brother Guan just happened to appear and save me. I didnt expect Big Brother Guan to be so powerful. Hes really hidden! Li Yan frowned. Youre praising another man in front of your man. Are you testing my temper? She kept calling him Brother Guan. It was so intimate that it made him very unhappy. Qiao Mu chuckled and blinked her big eyes. Uncle, are you jealous? Youre too petty! Youre allowed to be jealous of my fiance, but Im not allowed to be jealous? Qiao Mu was stunned. She did not expect this man to admit that he was jealous so straightforwardly! She ced her hand on his forehead and tested the temperature on her forehead. Eh, he didnt have a fever! This was not like Young Master Lis normal behavior at all! Li Yan saw through her thoughts and raised his eyebrows. He pressed her down on the sofa and kissed her lips.. Chapter 382 - 382: Uncle, I’m Sorry 8 Chapter 382: Uncle, Im Sorry 8 Trantor: 549690339 As Li Yan had been on a business trip for a long time, there were a lot of things waiting for him to handle in thepany, so he went to thepany in the afternoon. After Qiao Jiannan was discharged from the hospital, Qiao Mu did not return home. Thest time, she left without even entering the house. This time, she took advantage of Li Yans absence to return to the Qiao familys residence. Qiao Mu entered the study room and saw Qiao Jiannans haggard face. Ever since he was discharged from the hospital, he was not as good as he used to be. When Qiao Jiannan saw Qiao Mu, he no longer had his usual amiability. Instead, his expression was a little serious. Mumu, I have something to ask you. Are you with Does your mother have any dealings with you? Qiao Mu was stunned and lowered her head. Dad, I did have some dealings with her, but weve already broken off contact. Qiao Jiannan sighed. Mumu, I know youre a kind child. Shes your mother after all, but shes a gambler and greedy for money. She has a bad nature. Im doing you a favor by not letting you hang out with her. I know, Dad. I promise I wont have any contact with her in the future. Ive also made it clear to her that she shouldnte looking for me again. Thats good. Youre now 18 years old and have reached the age to give you shares of the Qiao Corporation. If you have any dealings with her, even if I want to give you shares, Tingyun wont agree. Since youve cut off contact, its time to settle this matter. After Qiao Jiannan finished speaking, Yu Tingyun, who was standing outside the door, had a gloomy expression on her face. As expected, even if she tried her best to stop it time and time again, she could not stop it from happening. Yu Tingyun stormed into the bedroom. No, she had to think of something! In the study room, Qiao Mu looked up at Qiao Jiannan. Dad, lets talk about thister. Im still in school. If you give me the shares now, Im worried that Aunt Yun will be unhappy. Everything will be more logical after I graduate. In fact, she didnt want to push herself into the fire pit. Yu Tingyun had always regarded her as a thorn in her side. If she got the Qiaos shares, she didnt know what kind of treatment she would receive in the future. Although she had Li Yan as her backer, she did not want to cause trouble for herself. After all, she had never wanted to take anything from the Qiao family. Qiao Jiannan looked at Qiao Mus serious expression and sighed. Alright, well do as you say. Whats yours will be yours sooner orter. Theres no rush. Thank you, Daddy. Qiao Mu smiled. Qiao Mu left the study and was about to go downstairs when she heard Yu Tingyuns voice from the master bedroom. The door to the room wasnt tightly shut, so Qiao Mu stood outside and watched Yu Tingyun angrily talk on the phone. Is there a problem with our cooperation with the Li Corporation? Whats going on? Hurry up and think of a way to remedy it Qiao Mu didnt stop. Just as she was about to walk past, she heard Yu Tingyun continue, Also, find all the information about Qiao Mu and that slut. We cant just let this matter go like this I thought that Jiannans car ident and being hospitalized would end this matter, but I spent so much effort. The car ident didnt happen for nothing As Yu Tingyun spoke, she turned around and saw Qiao Mu standing at the door. Her eyes widened in shock. Yu Tingyun red at Qiao Mu. You You actually stood outside my room and eavesdropped. What did you hear? Qiao Mu sneered. Madam Yu, you actually treated my fathers car ident as something beneficial to you. You really did everything you could to stop me from getting the Qiao Corporation shares! Yu Tingyuns expression darkened. Qiao Mu, dont think that youve already seeded! I wont let you take a single cent from the Qiao family! Since I chose to send you to be an exchange student, dont me me for being rude if you dont take this path! Hopeless! Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered to waste her breath on her, so she turned around and left. Yu Tingyun picked up the phone nervously.. Have you settled the car ident? Dont cause trouble for me! Chapter 383 - 383: Qjao Mu Was Not Clean For A Long Time (1) Chapter 383: Qjao Mu Was Not Clean For A Long Time (1) Trantor: 549690339 After Qiao Mu left the Qiao familys residence, she directly turned into the Li familys courtyard. At this moment, the sound of a car engine approached. She thought it was Li Yan. She looked over and saw Qiao Yas car. Qiao Mu immediately hid in the courtyard. Immediately after, Qiao Yas car stopped at the entrance of the Li familys residence and honked continuously. Qiao Ya got out of the car and shouted into the courtyard, Qiao Mu, I see you! Get out here! How dare you get close to uncle? Dont embarrass the Qiao family! Qiao Mu turned a blind eye to it and hid behind a big tree. Then, another car drove over and stopped at the entrance. The car window rolled down, revealing Li Yans face. Qiao Ya smiled and went up to him. Her tone was very attentive.Uncle, youre back! What are you doing here? Li Yan said coldly. Qiao Yas tone became excited. Uncle, I saw Qiao Mu go in just now. This Qiao Mu is really too shameless. She seduced Uncle time and time again. When Uncle isnt at home, she would secretlye to look for you. Uncle, hurry up and chase her out! Who do you need to care about who enters my house? Li Yans face darkened. Move aside! Uncle, you already have a fiance, and you love your fiance so much. How could you fall for Qiao Mus trap! Back then, Qiao Mu had a motive. She used all sorts of methods to get close to you, and shes been using your rtionship to attack my mother and me. Shes been scheming ever since she was young. Uncle cant be deceived by her appearance! Li Yan raised his eyes. So, youre teaching me how to differentiate right from wrong? The mans eyes were filled with endless coldness, causing Qiao Ya to shiver uncontrobly. Immediately after, Li Yan spoke again. His words were sharp and venomous. What right do you have to interfere in my private affairs? Look at yourself in the mirror first. Donte out and embarrass yourself. Qiao Yas expression changed drastically. Uncle, Im your nephew. How can you say that about me?! Qiao Mu is just an outsider! Get lost! Li Yan did not hide the disgust in his tone. Qiao Ya clenched her fists unwillingly. She originally thought that Li Yan would not take Qiao Mu seriously since he had a fiance, but she did not expect him to not stand on her, his biological nephews side! Whats so good about that Qiao Mu! Why did Li Yan treat her so well when she was young? Qiao Ya gritted her teeth, her expression fierce. Uncle, dont be fooled by Qiao Mu! Dont you Imow that Qiao Mu has long been dirty? She has no sense of propriety in her private life, and the former mayors son, Lin Xian, has long ruined her. Shes only innocent on the surface Qiao Mus expression darkened when she heard Qiao Yas crazy and vicious words in the courtyard. This Qiao Ya was truly disgusting to the extreme. In order to belittle her, she would say anything vicious! Fortunately, Li Yan was aware of this matter. Otherwise, if Qiao Ya were to say it out loud, her image would bepletely ruined! Qiao Ya thought that she had said something incredible and Qiao Mus secret. She had said it so happily that Li Yan would feel disgusted by Qiao Mu after hearing her words. However, when she met the mans gaze, she could not continue speaking. Then, Li Yan opened the car door and got out. At this moment, the mans expression was gloomy with a bloodthirsty chill. Even from a distance, Qiao Mu could still sense that this man was angry.. Chapter 384 - 384: Qjao Mu Has Been Dirty For A Long Time (2) Chapter 384: Qjao Mu Has Been Dirty For A Long Time (2) Trantor: 549690339 The man got out of the car, and Qiao Ya could not help but take a step back. She saw the man walking towards her. His eyes were as cold as ayer of frost, and the bone-piercing coldness almost prated her. Uncle Qiao Ya opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she was so shocked by the pressure that she couldnt say a word. The man raised his hand and Qiao Ya shrunk her neck, afraid that he would use violence on her. Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes. He raised his hand and pinched Qiao Yas chin hard. His gaze seemed to be pinching something that he hated. He did not hold back at all. Qiao Ya felt so much pain that she wanted to scream, but she did not dare to make a sound. She had long known that Li Yan was a terrifying person, but she had always thought that he was her uncle. She did not expect this man to not give her any face at all! Just as Qiao Ya felt as if her jaw was about to be crushed, the cold man in front of her moved his thin lips. Li Yan said word by word, his tone carrying a warning, You dont want your mouth anymore? If I hear you say something I dont want to hear from your mouth again At some point, a dagger appeared in Li Yans hand. Qiao Yas face instantly turned as pale as a sheet of paper. Li Yan pinched her chin with one hand and shook the dagger with the other. The cold de tapped Qiao Yas lips twice. The edge of the de was so sharp that it seemed that a slight cut would cause blood to flow. Li Yan pointed at the dagger and said coldly, lf you cant control your mouth, then Ill help you! Li Yan let go of her hand. Qiao Yas legs went limp, and her body fell to the ground like a ball of soft mud. Li Yan put the dagger back into his pocket and strode into the Li familys courtyard. In the courtyard, Qiao Mu was dumbfounded. Although she had seen Li Yans frightening appearance many times, she was still shocked to see him treat Qiao Ya like this. Fortunately, he had never treated her like this before. Even if he was very fierce to her before, he had never been so cruel to her. Qiao Ya, who was outside the door, saw Li Yan leave. She was so scared that she ran home quickly, not even caring about the car. Li Yan walked into the courtyard and nced at the big tree at the side. He said calmly, Come out, have you had enough of the show? Qiao Mu poked her head out to look at Li Yan and chuckled. She then walked up to the man and said, Uncle, you were so scary just now! The coldness on Li Yans face hadpletely disappeared. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. Dont you want me to teach her a lesson? Hmph, she deserves to be taught a lesson! Qiao Mu snorted and carefully observed the mans expression, but she didnt notice anything unusual. She opened her arms and hugged his waist, exining, Uncle, Im not using you. Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the little womans obedient appearance. The corners of his mouth curled up. I Imow. You dont know! Qiao Mu thought that he did not understand what she was trying to convey, so she looked up at him and continued to exin, I mean, ten years ago, I didnt get together with you for any reason. I didnt y any tricks. I didnt get close to you for any purpose! Li Yan sighed when he saw how anxious the little woman was to exin herself to him. Yeah, me too. Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment, but in the next second, she grinned. Yes, he too! At that time, they were both so innocent. They just wanted to be together with each other, and there were no impurities! She tiptoed and kissed her gently on the lips. Uncle, thank you for believing in me. [The 10th update is over. Ill continue updating tomorrow.. Please support me Chapter 385 - 385: You Will Regret It For The Rest Of Your Life Chapter 385: You Will Regret It For The Rest Of Your Life (1) Trantor: 549690339 When Qiao Ya returned home, her face was still pale and she had not recovered from the shock. Little Ya, are you sick? Yu Tingyun asked. Why do you look so pale? Mom, Im in trouble. I just provoked uncle! He looks like hes going to kill someone! Yu Tingyuns face darkened. Why did you provoke him? Let me ask you, in the cooperation with the Li Corporation, what tricks did you y in private? The goods you provided to the Li Corporation were not up to standard at all! Qiao Ya panicked. I just want to save some money for thepany. The Yu Corporation is having financial difficulties now. If we can save some money on the supply of goods, it will be of great help to us. I asked for your opinion, and you agreed. I agree to save money, but how can you give such poor quality goods to the Li Corporation? This is a breach of contract. If the Li Corporation finds out, our Yu Corporation will be finished! Yu Tingyun was so angry that her face turned purple. In fact, she had tacitly agreed to this, but she didnt expect that something would really happen! Yu Yiduos return to the country was a huge threat to her. She didnt know how the other party would spy on the Yu Corporation. At this time, the Yu Corporation couldnt make a mistake! Mom, I just saw Alright! Do you still think I dont have enough troubles? Dont bother me! Yu Tingyun interrupted impatiently. Qiao Ya looked at Yu Tingyun in shock. Her mother had always been elegant and gentle to her. This was the first time she had treated her so badly! He clenched his fists tightly. It was all Qiao Mus fault. Everything was caused by Qiao Mu! At night, Qiao Mu was preparing to go to the guest room to sleep. Li Yan stopped her. Ill sleep in the bedroom tonight. I woke up from the coldst night. Stay here and warm my bed. Qiao Mu was speechless. Warm the bed? It was such a hot day, and he still had the nerve to say that he woke up from the cold. Li Yan met her questioning gaze and said confidently, Im injured. My waist is not good. I cant get cold. You can turn on the electric nket. The heat wont kill you! Artificial heating is safer and more environmental friendly. With a bed warmer like you, do I need to waste electricity to turn on the electric nket? F * ck! So her purpose was to save electricity and money! As she spoke, Qiao Mu was already brought into the bedroom by Li Yan. He spoke with a look of concern for her, You dont have to be unwilling. If my back is affected in any way, youll regret it for the rest of your life. Qiao Mu was speechless. She really had no chance of winning against this man! Then, Qiao Mu was tricked into sleeping with him. Due to Li Yans injuries, Qiao Mu did not dare to get too close to him for fear of identally bumping into him while she was sleeping. However, a certain man stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. Little thing, youre so far away from me. Im asking you to warm the bed. Please be more professional. Qiao Mu raised her head from Li Yans embrace and reached out her small hand to the mans back. She patted his back gently and said pretentiously, Be good, let me carry you. Ill protect your waist. Be good and sleep. Li Yans eyes twitched. This little thing dared to tease him! The hand around her waist tightened, and his lips pressed against her ear. The mans words were extremely ambiguous, causing Qiao Mus body to stiffen. When she met his gaze, she clearly saw the familiar expression in his eyes. She immediately became alert and slowly left his embrace.. Uncle, what are you doing? Dont do anything rash! Chapter 386 - 386: You Will Regret It For The Rest Of Your Life Chapter 386: You Will Regret It For The Rest Of Your Life (2) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan flipped over and stopped the little woman from leaving. Qiao Mu red at him. You said before that your waist isnt good! So, youre here to verify if my waist injury is serious or not. If its serious, Ill need to move my muscles and bones. Qiao Mus face flushed red as she bit her lip and said, The doctor said you cant do strenuous exercise. ThenAre you here to exercise? As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, he flipped over and the two of them switched positions. Qiao Mu was above, and Li Yan was below. This embarrassing posture made Qiao Mu feel ufortable. She wanted to escape, but even though the man was injured, he was still dozens of times stronger than her. And then Uh, there was no then. The man used his actions to prove how good his waist was. Although he had given her the initiative, she had not put in any effort at all, alright? Was this mans injury real or fake? Why couldnt she feel that his waist was injured at all? After a long exercise Qiao Muy in Li Yans arms in a daze. Although she was extremely exhausted, she did not forget to use her hand to check if his bandages had been removed. Li Yan chuckled and grabbed her little hand that was moving around. Theres no need to check. You cooperated very well. The bandage is still on. . Cooperate your sister! Li Yan held the little woman in his arms and gently stroked her back. Soon, the little woman in his arms breathed steadily and fell asleep. The phone on the bedside rang. It was an email notification. He picked up his phone, opened his email, and received an anonymous email. The content was a video. Li Yan was about to delete it when he saw a line of words below the video: President Li, Im sure youre very interested in this video. Li Yan lowered the volume of his phone and opened the video. He saw that the people in the video were Qiao Mu and Qiao Ya. Qiao Yas voice could be heard faintly in the video. Qiao Mu, do you still remember when I pushed you into the pool back thenl asked Li Yan toe to the garden in your name and then induced you to say these words so that he would hear itThats why he didnt see the scene of me pushing you into the water. When you were having a fever for days, he came to look for you. Unfortunately, he was stopped by me Haha, Im very happy to think of this. I actually lied to the two of you for so many years! After Li Yan finished watching the video, he put away his phone with a dark expression. Qiao Yas words provoked him. So, this was the truth back then! Everything was caused by Qiao Ya! Moreover, Qiao Ya had pushed his little woman into the pool. It was clearly the middle of winter at that time! No wonder Qiao Mu would spout nonsense and shout for help after falling into the water thest time! Li Yans heart felt as if it was being crushed by a heavy stone. His heart ached so much that he could not breathe! Li Yan pursed his lips as he looked at the little woman sleeping soundly in his arms. He should be d that this little woman was lying in his arms unscathed! Li Yan subconsciously tightened his grip on Qiao Mus arm. He had made a mistake back then and left her behind. In this life, he would never let go of this little woman again! The sleeping Qiao Mu seemed to be hugged too tightly as she groaned and mumbled in a daze, Uncle, pay attention to your wound Li Yans heart softened. He kissed her forehead gently. Be good. Go to sleep. Qiao Mu seemed to have heard his words. She rubbed her head against his chest and continued sleeping. How could he bear to let go of such a small woman! Chapter 387 - 387: Let Her Not Turn Over (1) Chapter 387: Let Her Not Turn Over (1) Trantor: 549690339 The next morning, Qiao Mu went to school. After sending Qiao Mu to school, Li Yan went to thepany. He called Lei Yi to his office and said straightforwardly, lts time to pull back the that we set for the Yu Corporation. Its the CEO! Also, the Yu Corporation has a batch of cosmetics that have been smuggled and evaded taxes. They should have entered thepany by now. After you collect the evidence, report it to the relevant departments. Lei Yi responded, and then the man continued, 1 want Yu Tingyun to lose her chance! Lei Yi nodded. It seemed that the young master didnt want to wait any longer. This meant that Yu Tingyuns death was imminent! Yu Corporation. In the chairmans office, Yu Tingyun was discussing a coboration with a client. At this time, she urgently needed a big coboration to remedy the situation. If the Li Group pursued the breach of contract, she could make up for theck of funds from another coboration. Suddenly, the assistant rushed in. He did not knock on the door and looked very flustered. Yu Tingyun frowned unhappily. Cant you see that Im busy? Why did he not know the rules? Whats so urgent that youre so flustered? Chairman, bad news! The people from the National Revenue Service are here! Hearing this, Yu Tingyuns expression changed and she stood up abruptly. The National Revenue Service? Ourpany has always paid taxes legally. What are they doing here? At this moment, the two people at the door had already entered the office. They looked at Yu Tingyun with professional expressions and said, Whether its legal to pay taxes or not, we need to investigate. Ms. Yu, we received a report that you imported a batch of goods under your own name and smuggled them into thepany. You didnt pay taxes legally. Please cooperate. Yourpany needs to be investigated. Yu Tingyun denied it excitedly. How is that possible?! Ourpany is operating legally. There must be a malicious report from a hostilepany. Please make an exception. Thepany has been busy recently, can you Sorry, you have to cooperate. The other partys staff did not budge at all. Yu Tingyuns expression was very ugly. She knew what she had done. She just wanted to dy for a few days to transfer the smuggled goods. If she were to investigate now, she would be finished! Yu Tingyun adjusted her state of mind and walked forward with a smile. Please take a seat. We can discuss this matter slowly. Ms. Yu, were here on official business. We dont have time to chat with you. The evidence of the informant isplete. Were just here to confirm whether its true or not. Yu Tingyuns expression changed drastically. It turned out that someone had already targeted her! The office phone rang. Yu Tingyun pretended to be calm as she answered the call. Then, she heard the secretarys anxious voice. Chairman, the Li Group just sent news that the goods we supplied to the Li Group are not up to standard. The Li Group is prepared to hold us ountable for breach of contract! At this moment, Yu Tingyun felt as if the sky was falling on her. Everything was falling on her, and she sat on the chair weakly. It was over! The Yu Corporation that she had single-handedly maintained was going to be finished at this moment! In the afternoon, Qiao Mu had lunch with Chi Xia and Guan Baobei after ss. When she turned on her phone, she saw thetest news. Yu Corporation was being investigated for tax evasion! Chi Xia curiously peeked at Qiao Mus phone screen and pursed her lips. Retribution begets retribution. Sure enough, its retribution! If she can do such a thing, the heavens will deal with her! What happened? asked Baby Guan. Who are you talking about? Mumus stepmother! Qiao Mu put away her phone and smiled faintly. Lets not talk about this anymore.. By the way, baby, have you resolved the misunderstanding between you and Lu Jingzhi? Chapter 388 - 388: Make Her Unable to Turn Over (2) Chapter 388: Make Her Unable to Turn Over (2) Trantor: 549690339 Hearing this, Baby Guan snorted coldly. What misunderstanding? The two of us have already said goodbye. We have nothing to do with each other in the future! Its probably just a misunderstanding, Qiao Mu advised. Dont you like him very much? Thats a thing of the past. Im just like this. I can treat you well, but if you dont have a heart and trample on my feelings, dont think Ill continue to give unconditionally like a fool. I have dignity! Chi Xia sighed. Do you need to be so clean and tidy? Youre just proving that our dormitory is haunted by bad luck. If you move in, youll be heartbroken! Baby Guan suddenly reacted. Thats right, I was infected by the two of you! Cough Qiao Mu coughed awkwardly and smiled. That has nothing to do with me. I didnt break up. Chi Xia and Baby Guan red at him. Qiao Mus smile was sweet, and she could tell what was going on at a nce. After disappearing for two days, her condition immediately changed after she returned. He was previously shrouded in a haze, but now, his body seemed to be shining with a halo. He was smiling so happily! Chi Xia was genuinely happy for Qiao Mu. It was great that she did not have to walk the same path as her. Suddenly, Chi Xias phone rang. Chi Xia frowned slightly and looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen before hanging up. Why didnt you pick up the phone? Qiao Mu asked in confusion. Recently, there have been too many harassing calls and advertisements. It will only waste electricity if you answer them. Chi Xia said calmly. Qiao Mu felt that something was wrong. Xiaxia, the harassment calls youve received recently, could it be No! What are you thinking? Its just a harassment call! Qiao Mu already understood Chi Xias reaction. It was indeed Gu Cheng! Before this, Qiao Mu would have advised Chi Xia to let go, but after her experience, she felt differently. She held Chi Xias hand and whispered, Xiaxia, since he cant let go of you and you cant let go of him, maybe theres still a chance. Chi Xia lowered her head and remained silent. A man, a woman who couldnt even give him a status, what kind of opportunity could there be? Baby Guan looked at Chi Xia with her chin in her hand. Isnt it just a man? If you dont want it, then change it to a new one. Whats the big deal? Look at me, Im so free and easy. A woman can like a man, but she definitely cant treat him as her everything. The more she takes him seriously, the more she will suffer! Qiao Mu was helpless. Its good that everyone has your mentality. Baby Guan was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang. When she saw the caller ID, she picked up the phone angrily. Lu Jingzhi, why are you still calling me? Let me tell you, I dumped you. We have nothing to do with each other now. Dont keep pestering me. Dont you think what youve done is very embarrassing? Qiao Mu was speechless. Chi Xia was speechless. This big sister was really too free and easy! After ss, Li Yan said that he would pick Qiao Mu up from school. Although Li Yan used toe and pick her up often, his mood waspletely different now. After ss, Qiao Mu packed her things and rushed out of the school. She saw a familiar car at a nce and got into it with a smile. She opened the car door and greeted him warmly. However, before she could finish her sentence, she saw that Li Yan was not in the car! Chapter 389 - 389: I Will Take Care of My Woman Chapter 389: I Will Take Care of My Woman Trantor: 549690339 Lei Yi could see Qiao Mus disappointment and exined, Miss Qiao, Young Master will be going home straight from the office. Young Master must have told you that its a special period now and that its best not to be with you in public. Thats why he asked me to pick you up. Oh, Qiao Mu replied. Her hopes were dashed. As the car drove, it was too quiet inside. Qiao Mu thought of something and asked Lei Yi, Assistant Lei, does that Ouyang not like me? When we were in the hospital, Li Yans original intention was to let mee back first to wait for him, but Ouyang looked like she was chasing me away, causing me to misunderstand! Lei Yi smiled faintly. Ouyang didnt Imow about Miss Qiaos rtionship with Young Master at that time. She thought that Young Master was Uh, he was just ying around, so he was a little more casual with you. However, Young Master has already taught him a lesson for this matter. At this moment, Superintendent Ouyang was probably very regretful of offending Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu nodded. She was very curious about what lesson Li Yan had taught Ouyang Shuo. As expected, her uncle doted on her and would not let her be bullied for nothing. Qiao Mu returned to the Li residence and entered. She saw Yu Yiduo and Li Zheng sitting on the sofa in the living room. Uncle, Auntie, youre back. She immediately greeted them respectfully. Yu Yiduo smiled. You should call me aunty, but mommy is more direct. We havent married yet. Its too early to change your mind. Li Zheng said coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yiduo red at him. Yu Yiduo beckoned Qiao Mu to sit beside her. Mumu, let me tell you a piece of good news. Your stepmother has received retribution for her bad deeds. She wont bully you anymore! Qiao Mu smiled. Ive seen the report on this matter on the Inte. The Yu Corporation only needs to pay a fine andpensate for tax evasion. Could the consequences be very serious? If she had money, why would she take the risk of evading taxes? The amount of tax she evaded is not something that can be solved by a fine. If she is sentenced, she will probably go to jail. Yu Yiduo sighed. Why did our Yu family have such a young seedling? He has been ying tricks since he was young, and now he has finally ruined himself. Li Zheng snorted coldly. Youre already showing her mercy by making a move on her now and letting her live peacefully for so many years. Are you still going to pity her? Have you forgotten how she treated you in the past? Of course I wont forget. Hubby, Im just sad! Yu Yiduo stood up and sat beside Li Zheng. Li Zheng hugged her and patted her on the back. Alright, let your son handle this. How did Yu Tingyun snatch the Yu Group away? She will return what you deserve to you soon. Qiao Mu listened silently from the side. Clearly, the grudge between Yu Yiduo and Yu Tingyun was not shallow. But Uncle, Auntie, is it really okay for the two of you to be so intimate in front of a junior like her? Qiao Mu was watching when Li Zheng looked at her. Qiao Mu, Yu Tingyun is your stepmother after all. Dont stand on the wrong side when something like this happens! Without waiting for Qiao Mu to speak, Li Yan, who had been silent all this while, said indifferently, Dad, just take care of your wife. Ill take care of my woman myself. Im just afraid that youll be bewitched by a woman! Are you talking about yourself? Li Yan retorted nonchntly. At this time, Yu Yiduo said unhappily, Shut up, both of you. You have to believe in your own judgment. The woman you choose will definitely not be wrong! Am I that kind of woman who cant tell right from wrong? [Theres still a new update in the afternoon. Its a new week.. Ill rmend you Chapter 390 - 390: She’s Just An Outsider Chapter 390: Shes Just An Outsider Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu thought that she was very obedient, so she nodded cooperatively. Then, she saw Li Yans gaze sweep over, and the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile. Qiao Mus face reddened for some reason when the man stared at her. Why did she feel that this mans gaze was soSeductive? Qiao Mu immediately stood up. Uncle, Aunty, Ill go to the kitchen to see what we should cook for dinner tonight. Yu Yiduoughed. Our Mu Mu is so sensible. I should really thank Yu Tingyun for raising our daughter-inw so well. Shes the only thing that Im satisfied with! Thank her? Li Yan snorted coldly, and his expression darkened a little. Qiao Mu would be better off without her. Ill settle the score with her for mistreating Qiao Mu all these years! Come to think of it, this child wont be doing well living with Yu Tingyun. Son, you have to treat Mumu better and make up for the suffering she has suffered all these years. Yu Yiduo looked at Qiao Mus back. Thankfully, Mumu is developing well. This face is like a beautys embryo. Looking at it now, I cant see Qiao Jiannans shadow at all. After Yu Yiduo finished speaking, Li Zheng nced at her. You still want to see Qiao Jiannans shadow in her? Looks like you cant forget your ex-fianc! I cant be bothered with you, you vinegar jar! Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo stayed at home for dinner. The four of them ate and chatted. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Yu Yiduo ate andughed while Li Zheng reminded her not to choke. In Qiao Mus memory, she had never had such a heartwarming meal with her family before. Every time he ate at the Qiao familys house, he would be in a very depressed state. With the attitude of being tortured, he would eat a meal that was especially indigestion. It was great that Li Yan had such a happy family. After dinner, Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo left. Auntie, its sote. Qiao Mu couldnt help but say, Just sleep at home for the night. No, its too close to Yu Tingyun. Ill have nightmares. With that said, Yu Yiduo smiled evilly and moved closer to Qiao Mu, saying softly, Theres another reason. If we leave, itll be convenient for you and your uncle to make grandchildren for me! I wont stay and disturb you! Qiao Mu was speechless. She wasnt even of the age to get married yet, and he was asking her to give birth to a child. Was that really a good idea? Qiao Mu could feel her face instantly turning red and smoke rising from Yu Yiduos teasing. She reevaluated Li Yans indecency-it was hereditary! After the two of them left, Li Yan pulled the little thing into his arms and asked in a low voice, What did my mom say to you just now? You look like you cant wait to find a hole to hide in? Nothing much. She said she didnt want to be too close to Yu Tingyun. Qiao Mu said nonchntly. And then? Theres no then! Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes and feigned ignorance to the end. When she met the mans bewitching gaze, she immediately changed the topic. Uncle, does Auntie have a huge grudge against Yu Tingyun? From your conversation, it seems like Auntie was bullied by Yu Tingyun back then, but Auntie is clearly an aunt, and Yu Tingyun is just a junior. Qiao Mu was a little curious. The Yu familys rtionship seemed to be very plicated. However, as soon as she asked that question, she saw Li Yans expression darken and a hint of coldness shed in his eyes. He seemed to dislike her mentioning this matter. Qiao Mu was stunned. This was their familys private matter, so of course they couldnt tell an outsider like her. After all, she was a member of the Qiao family. [The update iste. There are still four more updates. It will be updated around 8 or 9 0clock..] Chapter 391 - 391: Unhappy in a Pout Chapter 391: Unhappy in a Pout Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu lowered her head to hide the disappointment in her eyes. She originally thought that she had already been honest with him. However, when she thought about it, it was only her one-sided confession. He did not give her any response. Although their rtionship was much closer than before, perhaps it was just her wishful thinking. To him, everything might be the same as before, but she was immersed in happiness. When she thought of this, Qiao Mu felt a little ufortable. Soon, she looked up and smiled at him. Uncle, if you dont want to tell me, then dont. I wont ask anymore. Li Yan frowned slightly when he saw Qiao Mus forced smile. He wondered what this little woman was thinking about. Hisrge hand gently rubbed her head. Dont make wild guesses. I didnt. Qiao Mu mumbled, as if her thoughts had been seen through and she felt somewhat ashamed. As expected, the person who confessed his feelings first in a rtionship would always be at a disadvantage. Why didnt he respond to her one-sided confession? Qiao Mu pushed him away and sat down on the sofa. She tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, but she could not help but feel down. She had never felt so uneasy before. After facing her feelings, she became more and more sensitive. This feeling was really not good! Li Yan saw Qiao Mus reaction. Although she tried her best to hide her thoughts, all her thoughts were shown on her face. This little woman had never been good at pretending. Sighing helplessly, he sat beside her and ced her on hisp, hugging her petite body. If you want to know, Ill tell you. I dont want to know anymore! Qiao Mu pouted, clearly in a fit of pique. He clearly didnt want to say it just now. He clearly didnt want her to get involved in their familys matters! Looking at her, Li Yan could not help but want tough. This little thing was simply too cute. When she was angry, she could still sow discord in his heart. However, in Qiao Mus eyes, Li Yans expression was asking for a beating! When she was very unhappy, he was smiling! That handsome face had a hint of a smile on it. His originally good-looking face was now an eyesore. She really wanted to pull his cheeks and tear his smile apart! Li Yan leaned backzily on the sofa. His slender fingers tucked the stray hair on her forehead behind her ear before he said, lts not that I cant let you Imow. The past isnt a happy thing. I dont want you to get involved in the unhappy things. Qiao Mu was stunned. Was he thinking for her? But Uncle, I dont know anything about you. I dont know anything about your job, your business overseas, or your family. But you know everything about me. I dont want to be a canary and be protected by you. Thats not what I want. She still said what was on her mind. She kept it in her heart and felt very ufortable. She wanted to share everything with him. Although he was already so strong that he did not need her to interfere, she wanted to integrate into his life. Li Yan was helpless. I know. Ill tell you then. Dont pout like you owe me a huge sum of money. It would have been great if he had told her so quickly earlier! Only then did Qiao Mu put away her negative emotions and find afortable position in his embrace. Then go ahead, Ill listen! It was as if she was listening to a bedtime story, which made Li Yan feel a little helpless.. Chapter 392 - 392: It’s Great to Have Him! Chapter 392: Its Great to Have Him! Trantor: 549690339 Yu Tingyun is only three years younger than my mother. They grew up together, but they never got along. When they were young, the Yu family arranged a marriage for my mother. However, Yu Tingyun found out that she fell in love with my mothers fianc, so she snatched the marriage away. Qiao Mu was stunned. So, the wife my father originally wanted to marry was your mother? No wonder Li Yans father said that the Li family and the Qiao family had a feud. Li Yans father did not like her at first because her father was Qiao Jiannan, right? Mm. Li Yan saw Qiao Mus eyes brighten up. What a pity. Your mother almost became my stepmother. If Auntie was my stepmother, my childhood would have been so blissful! Li Yan red at her coldly. So, youll be happy even without me? If his mother became her stepmother, wouldnt they never meet again? Qiao Mu coughed lightly. Im saying if! Alright, Uncle, continue! Li Yan continued, From then on, Yu Tingyun had a strong backer, so she became even more hostile toward my mother. When my grandfather passed away, half of the assets in my grandfathers will were supposed to be given to my mother. However, Yu Tingyun took all of it and took it for herself. She even chased my mother out of the Yu family. ording to my mothers own description, she was in a very miserable situation at that time. It was only when she met my father that her situation changed. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. So auntie and I are in the same boat. We were both bullied by Yu Tingyun, but auntie was even worse off. I was lucky enough to meet you before I was kicked out of the house! A hint of coldness shed across Li Yans eyes, but his hand that was caressing Qiao Mus head was extremely gentle. I wont let you have such an experience. Qiao Mus heart warmed, and she snuggled into the mans embrace. It was great to have him! Qiao Mu was a little sleepy from listening to the story. She leaned into Li Yans arms in a daze and felt hisrge hand gently patting her back. She mumbled unconsciously, Uncle, dont disappear without a word again. Li Yans heart skipped a beat as he listened to her soft voice. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart. He carried her upstairs and said softly, Never again. The corners of Qiao Mus lips curled up in her sleep. It was unknown if she had really heard what he said. The atmosphere in the Qiao family was very gloomy. Yu Tingyuns face was pale. Jiannan, what do you think we should do? Qiao Jiannan red at Yu Tingyun angrily. Are you anxious now? When you did illegal things back then, did you discuss it with me? Its not just tax evasion, but also the cooperation with the Li Corporation. If you had told me before you did it, I wouldnt have let you do it! Whats the use of saying this now? Think of a way. Do you want to see my Yu Corporation go bankrupt? You want to see me go to jail? Yu Tingyun stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Jiannans hand, saying anxiously, Jiannan, please help me. The Qiao Corporation is now out of the crisis. Help me with the cash flow. Qiao Jiannan frowned. How can thepany have that much money? Do you think this is something that can be solved with just a few words? Yu Tingyuns expression changed. What do you mean? You just wont help me? Qiao Jiannan, do you have a conscience? All these years, Ive sacrificed so much for this family and the Qiao Corporation.. If something happens to me, how can you leave me in the lurch? Chapter 393 - 393: Sinister Woman (1) Chapter 393: Sinister Woman (1) Trantor: 549690339 Yu Tingyuns sudden change stunned Qiao Jiannan. Yu Tingyun had always been virtuous and noble in front of him. She was elegant in everything she did, but at this moment, she had lost control of her image! Yu Tingyun realized that she had lost herposure and immediately changed her attitude. Jiannan, I was really too anxious. Dont be angry with me. Can you just help the Yu Corporation? This is thepany my father left behind. We cant let something happen to it like this! Qiao Jiannan frowned. Do you know that if you want to use the Qiao Corporation to save the Yu Corporation, youre exchanging one thing for another. If you save the Yu Corporation, the Qiao Corporation will be courting death! How could Yu Tingyun not know? But as long as she could save Yu Enterprise, she didnt care! The Qiao Corporation belonged to the Qiao family, but the Yu Corporation belonged to Yu Tingyun. It belonged to her alone! Yu Tingyun looked at Qiao Jiannan coldly. So, youre not going to help me? Ting Yun, calm down first. We will slowly think of a way Enough! Yu Tingyun cut him off uncontrobly. Qiao Jiannan, why did I marry such an irresponsible man like you?! Thest time the Qiao Corporation was almost bankrupt, it was me who worked hard to get the Qiao Corporation and the Li Corporation to work together to save the Qiao Corporation! You only care about yourpany at a critical moment. Its only after so many years that I finally see what kind of person you are! Am I wrong? When I chose to marry you, I thought that you were very capable. But after so many years, the Qiao family has no room for development. Look at the Li family. Back then, the Li family was only slightly stronger than the Qiao family and the Yu family. Now, Qiao Yus two bigpaniesbined cant evenpare to half of them. We still need to cooperate with Li Enterprise to maintain our development. If Yu Yiduo can find a man like Li Zheng, how could I be blind to marry you?! Yu Yiduo was supposed to marry this man, but she had snatched him away. If If Yu Yiduo had married Qiao Jiannan, she might have be the current Madam Li! Yu Tingyun was so angry that she had lost control. She was facing bankruptcy and was under so much pressure that she almost broke down. She had no time to care about her image. Qiao Jiannan looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. Was she the Yu Tingyun he knew? She was actually throwing a tantrum here like a shrew! Qiao Jiannans face darkened instantly. Yu Tingyun, did you marry me because of my family background? If you want a man like Li Zheng, why are you looking for me? Youve really deceived me all these years. You Dont expect me to help you! At this moment, Qiao Jiannan received a message. He opened the message and saw that it was a record of thepanys funds during the crisis. Among them, Mr. Qiao was constantly transferring money to Mr. Yus name. At that time, Mr. Qiao was already half-dead, but she was still continuously transferring money to Mr. Yu! He recalled that he was not in good health at that time, and Yu Tingyun was in charge of thepany Qiao Jiannan felt dizzy. He pressed his hands on his chest and copsed on the sofa, gasping for air. You woman, what are you hiding from me? Yu Tingyun took the phone and her expression changed. At this moment, Qiao Jiannans breathing became difficult. He hurriedly took out the blood pressure medicine from his pocket. Yu Tingyuns face was covered with ayer of hostility. She rushed forward and snatched the medicine away as if she had gone crazy. Qiao Jiannans eyes widened as he reached out to grab Yu Tingyun. Yu Tingyun shook him off forcefully. Qiao Jiannan, youre the one whos unkind.. Dont me me Chapter 394 - 394: Sinister Woman (2) Chapter 394: Sinister Woman (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Jiannan struggled for a while and almost lost consciousness. At this moment, a servant came back from outside. Yu Tingyun was shocked and threw herself in front of Qiao Jiannan in a panic. Jiannan, whats wrong? Say something, quickly Call the ambnce! In the corner upstairs, Qiao Ya bit her lip with a pale face. She was so frightened that she did not allow herself to scream. She had seen everything that had happened downstairs. Her motherHow could this be? Qiao Mu was still in her sleep when she was woken up by Li Yan. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the man in front of her. She subconsciously snuggled into his arms. Li Yan looked down at her. Mu Mu, I have something to tell you. Dont be anxious. Whats wrong, Uncle? Qiao Mu opened her eyes. When she saw Li Yans stern expression, she immediately felt that something was amiss. I just received news that your father lost consciousness because of high blood pressure. He was hospitalized because he didnt lower his blood pressure in time. Qiao Mus eyes widened instantly, and she quickly sat up. Is my father alright? I dont know for the time being. Theyre being resuscitated. Just as Li Yan finished speaking, Qiao Mu jumped off the bed and ran out. Li Yan stopped her. Ill send you to the hospital. Qiao Mu nodded in a panic. Li Yans heart ached for her. At the hospital. Qiao Mu rushed over and saw Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya waiting outside the emergency room. She anxiously inquired about the situation, but the two of them sat there in a daze without saying a word, causing Qiao Mus nervous heart to rise to her throat. After some time, the door to the emergency room opened and the doctor came out. Yu Tingyun quickly came forward. Doctor, how is it? The patient is temporarily out of danger, the doctor said. But his condition isnt too good. He needs to stay in the hospital for observation. Yu Tingyun slumped back into her chair, out of danger. Doctor, Qiao Mu asked in a panic, my fathers health was quite good a few days ago. Why did it suddenly be so serious? The patient did not take medicine to lower his blood pressure in time. Logically speaking, the patient has high blood pressure, so the medicine should be carried with him. Didnt your family members supervise him properly? If you take the medicine in time to calm down, youll be fine. Qiao Mu red at Yu Tingyun. Did you say something to Dad? Something happened to yourpany and my father is worried. Cant you solve the problem yourself? Qiao Ya stepped forward and blocked Qiao Mus way. What right do you have to treat my mother with such an attitude?! After that, Qiao Ya held Yu Tingyuns hand and whispered, Mom, dont worry. Dad will be fine. Just now, her mother had only lost control of her emotions and snatched her fathers medicine. Her mother did not mean to harm her father. She definitely did not do it on purpose! When Daddy wakes up, everything will be the same as before! Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyun coldly. Yu Tingyuns face was pale and haggard. She looked like she was really worried about the people in the ward. Qiao Mus heart softened when she saw this. No matter how Yu Tingyun treated her, she was still true to her father. That night, the hospital needed someone to take care of the patient. Qiao Mu wanted to stay, but Yu Tingyun insisted on staying. Yu Tingyun sat on the chair beside the bed, holding Qiao Jiannans hand tightly. She looked very nervous and worried. Yu Tingyuns expression showed that she was more worried about Qiao Jiannans health than anyone else, and it made Qiao Mu think that she wanted to wait here for her father to wake up. However, Qiao Mu did not know that Yu Tingyun was worried that Qiao Jiannan would wake up with someone else. At that time, everything would be over! Sorry Imte today.. Chapter 395 - 395: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here (1) Chapter 395: Dont Be Afraid, Im Here (1) Trantor: 549690339 It was already midnight when Qiao Mu came out of the hospital. The night wind was cold. Fortunately, Li Yan had brought her a jacket before she left. Just as she was thinking about how to go back, she saw a car parked quietly in the parking lot of the hospitalpound. The car was parked at the spot where she had gotten out of the car when she came here. Therefore, she did not even need to confirm the license te to be certain that the car must belong to Li Yan! She had been in the hospital for so long that she thought he had gone back. This man had been waiting for her! He had no idea when she woulde out and just waited for her quietly! Qiao Mu quickened her pace and approached the car. A warm current surged through her heart. Qiao Ya walked out from behind. She frowned when she saw Qiao Mu and the car. Qiao Ya could not see the person in the car clearly under the night sky. She was still immersed in the shock of the night and had yet to recover. When she saw that Qiao Mu was being picked up and sent off by a car, she instantly felt a surge of anger. The fear that she had suppressed in her heart urgently needed to find an outlet to vent. Qiao Ya took a step forward and coldly looked at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, Dad is critically ill, yet you still have the mood to have an affair with a wild man! Not only did you seduce uncle, but you also hung out with other men in the middle of the night. Are you shameless? At this moment, Qiao Mu was extremely exhausted and depressed. She was extremely worried about her father and was not in the mood to bicker with Qiao Ya. Since Qiao Ya had bumped into him, she couldnt be bothered to avoid him. She opened the car door and got in. In the car, Li Yan sat in the drivers seat. When Qiao Mu got into the car, he bent down to help her fasten her seatbelt. His heart ached when he saw her pale little face. He caressed her face andforted her softly, lts okay. Your father will be fine. Qiao Mu bit her lip and nodded. The emotions that she had suppressed for a long time were finally released at this moment. She could not care less that Qiao Ya was still outside the car. She buried her face in his chest and grabbed his clothes tightly. Uncle, my father was fine a few days ago. Why did he suddenly be like this? The doctor said that he didnt take his medicine in time, but he always carried his medicine with him. Why didnt he have time to take his medicine? Why wasnt there anyone with him at that time? As long as we save her in time, she will definitely be fine. Im scared. Be good. Dont be afraid. Im here. Li Yan patted her head. His tone was very soft, as if he was coaxing a child. His voice was gentle to the bone. Just a few simple words calmed Qiao Mus flustered mood a little. He was here! She wasnt alone anymore. She still had him! No matter what, he would support her! Li Yan stroked her head silently, letting her vent her emotions. Could the heavens not bear to see his little woman happy? Why did they create sad things for her again and again? Qiao Ya, who was standing outside the car, was extremely annoyed that she was ignored. She could not see what was happening inside the car, but she could vaguely see two figures hugging each other. The anger in her heart burned wildly. Qiao Ya suddenly recalled that Qiao Mu and Su Chen had an ambiguous rtionship before, and she immediately suspected the identity of the man in the car! He was unwilling to let Qiao Mu off just like that! She wanted to see what capabilities Qiao Mu had and who she had hooked up with! If it really was Su Chen, then Qiao Mu was too sinister.. She even dared to seduce Li Yans brother! Chapter 396 - 396: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here (2) Chapter 396: Dont Be Afraid, Im Here (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Ya had never thought that the person in the car would be Li Yan. She wholeheartedly believed in Li Yans fiance who was exposed and thought that Li Yan and his fiance were very loving. Even if Qiao Mu really hooked up with Li Yan, he would only be fooling around and would not take Qiao Mu seriously! Qiao Ya strode forward to the drivers seat and opened the door. The door was locked and couldnt be opened. Qiao Ya knocked on the car window and said provocatively, Qiao Mu, whats so shameful about you secretly hiding your wild man? You failed to hook up with Uncle, so you changed your target to someone else? Open the car door. I want to see who you hooked up with! The noise outside the car disturbed the atmosphere in the car. Li Yan frowned and turned his head to the side to speak to the outside of the car. His voice was cold and filled with warning. Get lost! This voice Qiao Yas eyes widened in shock. Even though it was just two words, she could still tell that it was Li Yans voice through the car window! No! How was this possible? Why would Li Yan and Qiao Mu Qiao Ya immediately stopped thinking. It was absolutely impossible! Unwilling to give up, she leaned her face closer to the car window and used her hands to block the light as she carefully sized up the situation inside the car. However, when she took a look, she happened to meet a pair of malicious eyes. In the darkness, the terrifying gaze of a wolf pierced straight into her eyes. Qiao Ya screamed in fear and jumped out of the car window. The man in the car was Li Yan! Qiao Yas face turned pale and shepletely lost her reaction. Li Yan was the one who sent Qiao Mu to the hospitalte at night, which meant that the two of them were together at night! Qiao Yas eyes widened abruptly. She had seen Qiao Mu enter the Li residence that daylt turned out that she was not mistaken! Just as Qiao Ya was in shock and refused to ept reality, the car had already started and disappeared from her sight. Qiao Mu still felt uneasy when she returned home. Dont worry, Li Yanforted. Ill get the hospital to keep an eye on your fathers condition. Theyll inform me if theres anything. Uncle, thank you. Qiao Mu was extremely grateful. If she was alone, she would really be at a loss and not know what to do. Silly girl, why are you thanking me? He patted her head and whispered, Go to sleep. Rest well and go to the hospital to see your father tomorrow. Qiao Mu nodded and closed her eyes in peace. After Qiao Mus breathing stabilized and he confirmed that she was asleep, Li Yan got off the bed very gently and left the bedroom. Li Yan went to the study and dialed a number. After a while, Lei Yis groggy voice came from the other end of the phone. He had obviously been woken up. Young Master, its sote. Why are you looking for me? Send someone to keep an eye on Yu Tingyun at the hospital, Li Yan said in a deep voice. Especially when shes with Qiao Jiannan in private. Inform me immediately when Qiao Jiannan wakes up. The other end of the phone paused for two seconds, and then Lei Yis puzzled voice sounded, Young Master, are you suspecting that Yu Tingyun will harm Qiao Jiannan? That woman is capable of doing anything when shes mad. Qiao Jiannan fell ill at this time. Yu Tingyun was at home at that time, but Qiao Jiannan didnt take his medicine in time. It cant be a coincidence. For Yu Tingyun, the only one who could save the Yu family was the Qiao family. She Imew without a doubt that Qiao Jiannan would not risk the Qiao familys life to save the Yu family. Yu Enterprise was Yu Tingyuns lifeblood.. When she was at her wits end, she would do anything! Not to mention, the other party was Yu Tingyun! Chapter 397 - 397: You ‘re Jealous That I Have a Good Husband Chapter 397: You re Jealous That I Have a Good Husband Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu went to the hospital early in the morning, but Qiao Jiannan was still unconscious and had yet to wake up. Yu Tingyun seemed to have not slept all night and looked very haggard. Qiao Mu looked at her and said, Aunt Yun, go home and rest. Leave this to me. No need. Yu Tingyun said coldly and sat by the bed. At this moment, Qiao Mu felt that Yu Tingyun wasnt that bad after all. She only looked like an ordinary woman who cared about her husband. Qiao Mu didnt say anything else and silently stood guard at the side. She had already applied for leave from school and was waiting for her father to wake up. Yu Tingyun said coldly, What are you doing here? Im here, you can leave now! I want to wait for my father to wake up! Were not sure when hell wake up. Whats the use of you staying here? I just want to be alone with him! Yu Tingyuns expression was a little agitated, and Qiao Mu furrowed her brows. At this moment, Qiao Jiannan, who was lying on the hospital bed, made a sound. Qiao Mu was stunned. Daddy! Daddy, wake up! She hurriedly pounced over. YU Ilngyun starea at QIao nnan witn a gloomy race. sne cleea ner lists tightly and saw Qiao Jiannans eyelids move and slowly open. Qiao Jiannan saw Qiao Mu and opened his mouth. He was about to say something when Yu Tingyun pushed Qiao Mu away and held Qiao Jiannans hand, drawing his attention to her. Jiannan, youre finally awake. Ive been waiting for you all night. I was so worried! You Through the oxygen mask, Qiao Jiannans voice was very muffled, and it was hard to hear what he said. He stared at Yu Tingyun as if he had something to say. Yu Tingyun was panicking, but she still smiled. Jiannan, its me. Im Tingyun. Whats wrong? Qiao Mu was pleasantly surprised to see Qiao Jiannan wake up, and she quickly pressed the emergency bell. At this moment, the machine connected to Qiao Jiannans body rang. Qiao Jiannan red at Yu Tingyun with a flushed face. He wanted to get up, but he couldnt muster the strength. Suddenly, his body trembled a few times and he fainted again. At this moment, Yu Tingyun finally felt relieved. While heaving a sigh of relief, she red at Qiao Mu. Hurry up and call the doctor! Why are you standing there like a fool?! Qiao Mus heart sank again. Why did her father look so excited when he saw Yu Tingyun after he woke up? The doctor rushed over to save Qiao Jiannan, and this time, other symptoms appeared in Qiao Jiannans body. There was a problem with his liver, and he urgently needed a blood transfusion. Qiao Ya had already rushed over. The doctor came out of the emergency room and said seriously, The patients rtives should go for a blood test immediately. The patients health is in critical condition. He needs arge amount of blood! Qiao Yas face turned pale when she heard the word rge She whispered to Yu Tingyun, Mom, I dont have that much blood for Dad. Although I really want to save Dad, but Qiao Mu instantly flew into a rage when she heard that! Her father was critically ill, and Qiao Ya was unwilling to even donate her blood! You dont have to do a blood test, Yu Tingyun said. Your blood type is like mine. Your fathers blood type is different. Qiao Ya was stunned. She opened her mouth but didnt say anything in the end. She just nodded. Actually, she knew that she had the same blood type as her father. Her mother also knew, but she still said such a thing. She was really scared of blood. When she thought about how such a thick pillow had pierced into her blood vessels, her entire body trembled. She did not want to donate blood.. She really could not be med for not wanting to save her father! Chapter 398 - 398: He Can Give Me Everything, What About You? Chapter 398: He Can Give Me Everything, What About You? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus expression was gloomy. She had no time to bother with Qiao Ya and quickly went for a blood test. However, her blood type did not match Qiao Jiannans at all! In the end. he could only transfer blood of the same blood tyne from the blood bank. Yu Tingyun looked at Qiao Mu coldly. You didnt collude with the doctor on purpose, did you? You didnt dare to donate blood to your father, did you? Qiao Mu, your fathers life is in danger, and you still cant bear to part with that bit of blood of yours! The person who cant bear to donate blood should be your precious daughter! Qiao Mu found it strange and questioned coldly, Before my father fell ill, you were with him, werent you? Why didnt you let him take his medicine in time? Yu Tingyuns expression changed. What nonsense are you talking about?! I was upstairs, and Jiannan was downstairs. There were no servants at home, so I realized that something was wrong with him when I went downstairs. Fortunately, I called the ambnce in time, or else Jiannan would be in a terrible state! How dare you doubt me? Qiao Mu, the person inside is my husband! Why was my father so excited when he saw you when he woke up just now? Yu Tingyuns expression suddenly became deste. I was discussing with Jiannan how to solve the Yu Corporations problem. Jiannan wanted to use the Qiao Corporations funds to help the Yu Corporations turnover, but I didnt agree. If that happened, the Qiao Corporation would also be in danger. I think Jiannan wanted me to solve this problem as soon as possibleHis body is in such a state, yet he still has to think about me Yu Tingyuns eyes were filled with tears, and there was no trace of hypocrisy in her expression. Qiao Mu knew that Qiao Jiannan had always treated Yu Tingyuns affairs as his own business, so she did not suspect that Yu Tingyun was lying. It was not strange that Qiao Jiannan wanted to help the Yu Corporation. After the emergency treatment, the doctor said that Qiao Jiannan was still in aa for the time being. Yu Tingyun heard that the doctor said that she wouldnt wake up for the time being, so she left the hospital with relief and went to deal with thepanys matters. Since Qiao Jiannan was not around, she was in charge of the Qiao Corporation. She immediately transferred the Qiao Corporations funds to the Yu Corporation to make up for the breach of contract with the Li Corporation. When Yu Tingyun returned home, she bumped into Yu Yiduo, who was returning to the Li Familys vi. Yu Yiduo looked at Yu Tingyuns haggard face and smiled. I havent seen you for a few days, and youve aged by more than ten years. I thought I had mistaken you for someone else. Its not too much for me to call you aunt now. Yu Tingyuns expression was ugly. Yu Yiduo, did youe back this time to spy on my Yu Corporation? The current situation of the Yu Corporation was definitely rted to the Li Corporation! Someone reported me for tax evasion and happened to be at the same time as the Li Corporation for breaching the contract. How could it be such a coincidence! Its as if these two things are framing you. You deserve to bear the consequences for what you did! Yu Yiduo sneered. Also, the Yu Corporation was never yours! Youre delusional about getting the Yu Corporation! Let me tell you, no matter how powerful your son is, its useless. You cant take the Yu Corporation away! You really have the mood to throw a tantrum here. Your husband is hospitalized, but youre not apanying him in the hospital. Instead, you secretly embezzled the Qiao Corporations funds. If Qiao Jiannan finds out, hell be furious with you! Yu Yiduoughed. Are you jealous that I have a good husband? My husband is willing to use hispanys funds to help me. Are you jealous? Its said that a man cares about a woman and is willing to give her everything. Jiannan is like that.. In order to protect my Yu Corporation, he can care about nothing! Chapter 399 - 399: One in Heaven, One on Earth Chapter 399: One in Heaven, One on Earth Trantor: 549690339 Yu Tingyun paused and looked at Yu Yiduo with disdain. But you, no matter how rich and powerful Li Zheng is, hes willing to give you all his money? He would at most give you some pocket money. Even if you can spend money, can you spend an entirepany? A brainless woman like you only knows how to eat, drink, and y all day long. Do you really think youre so happy? Yu Yiduo, let me remind you out of kindness. Women like you are everywhere on the streets. Li Zheng is probably sick of you all day long. Who knows how many women younger and prettier than you he has outside? You should have been eliminated long ago. Tell me, what are you so proud of? Yu Tingyun said a lot of things in one breath, and she immediately felt very happy. Even if she wasnt happy, this woman couldnt be any happier. It was simply wishful thinking to think that she could beat her! Although Yu Tingyuns words were full of sarcasm and mockery, Yu Yiduo wasnt angry at all. This was pure envy, jealousy, and hatred! Yu Yiduoughed arrogantly. Yu Tingyun, dont tell me that you wouldnt want a status if you were in my position! Even if its just an empty title of Mrs. Li, you cant get it even if you want it! Yu Yiduos words deeply provoked Yu Tingyun! Even if Yu Tingyun didnt want to admit it, she was jealous of Yu Yiduo. When she found out that Yu Yiduo had found a man like Li Zheng, she almost died of anger! The woman who hadpletely lost to her was worthless, but she had turned around and be Mrs. Li! Comparing the two of them now, one was heaven and the other was earth! At this moment, Li Zheng came out of the Li Family vi. He frowned when he saw Yu Yiduo and Yu Tingyun together. What are you talking to this person for? Hurry up and go home. Yu Yiduo obediently walked towards Li Zheng. Yu Tingyunughed at her actions. Indeed, a woman who spent a mans money had no status at all. She had to obey Li Zhengs words! How could Yu Yiduopare to her? She had her own career, ability, and beauty. Qiao Jiannan had always been the one who gave in to her! Li Zheng saw Yu Yiduo walking over and asked, What are you talking to her about? Yu Yiduo smiled faintly. Its nothing. She said that I only have the title of Mrs. Li. Her man is willing to give her everything, but you only give me some pocket money to pass the time. She also said that you have a few young and beautiful women outside. Li Zheng frowned. You, woman, dont you know how to retort when others belittle your husband?! Ive given you all my assets and put them all under your name. If this is pocket money, its really enough! Also, I cant even handle a woman like you. How can I have any other thoughts! You dont have to exin to me. I dont know you well enough! Then why dont you show off your good husband! Showing off our love dies quickly. Weve been together for twenty to thirty years, and its only because I keep a low profile that we maintain the status quo. Those who im that their man is good, she knows very well what he really is. I dont want to show off to Yu Tingyun. Im afraid shell be jealous and set her eyes on my husband! Yu Yiduo and Li Zheng talked as they entered the Li Family vi. Yu Tingyun heard their conversation word by word. Yu Tingyun stood rooted to the ground, her face as green as a cucumber. At this moment, she realized that her bragging was a joke in Yu Yiduos eves! Chapter 400 - 400: It’s Enough That I Like You (1) Chapter 400: Its Enough That I Like You (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu stayed at the hospital for the entire day. At noon, Yu Yiduo came to deliver her lunch. Qiao Mu was extremely apologetic. Auntie, my father is sick and I have to trouble you. Im really sorry. Child, what are you talking about? Just wait for your father to wake up. Everything will be fine. You still have Li Yan and the Li family behind you. We are all your support. Yu Yiduo patted Qiao Mus shoulder. Thank you, Auntie. Qiao Mu was so grateful that she wanted to cry. She had always been used to having no one to rely on. Now that there were so many people who were thinking about her, even if the current situation was worse, she could still hold on! After Yu Yiduo left, Qiao Mu continued to guard the ward. Suddenly, Qiao Jiannans fingers moved. Qiao Mu looked up and saw Qiao Jiannan open his eyes. Daddy! Qiao Jiannan opened his mouth and said with difficulty, Mu Mu Dad, youre finally awake. Ill call the doctor now. Qiao Mu pressed the emergency bell. Qiao Jiannan seemed to be worried that she would leave and grabbed her hand. YuShe Qiao Mu immediately understood what he wanted to say. Dad, are you talking about Aunt Yun? Aunt Yun has gone home and is not in the hospital for the time being. I cantLet hereDont Qiao Jiannan tried to say something, but he couldnt hear clearly through the oxygen mask. Qiao Mu was puzzled and did not understand what he meant. Soon after, the doctor rushed over and said in a low voice, Dad, you should check your body first. Well talk about the rest when youre better. The doctor did a checkup for Qiao Jiannan and said that all his indicators were recovering. He only needed to be observed for a few more days before he would bepletely out of danger. During this period, he needed his family to stay by his side. Qiao Mu finally heaved a sigh of relief. She recalled Qiao Jiannans vague words. Cant let Yu Tingyune? What was the meaning of this? His father was still thinking about Yu Tingyun and didnt want her to worry about him? Just as Qiao Mu was thinking about this, Yu Tingyun rushed over in a panic. Once she entered the ward, she immediately interrogated Qiao Mu, Jiannan just woke up? Did he say anything? Qiao Mu frowned. Keep your voice down. My father just woke up for a while and then fell asleep again. Aunt Yun, what do you think my father can say? Why are you so nervous? Im worried about your father. Hes worried about me all the time. Im worried that hes still worried about the Yu Corporation when hes sick! After Yu Tingyun finished speaking, she red at Qiao Mu. You can leave now. Ill stay here! My dad said that you dont have toe to the hospital. Yu Tingyuns expression changed. She sat on the chair and stared at Qiao Jiannan, who was lying on the hospital bed, with a sad face.Jiannan, youre already in this state, yet youre still thinking about me. Why dont you think about yourself? You have to get better quickly. Only when you get better can I go back to work in peace! Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyun for a while before finally leaving the ward. When Qiao Mu was about to leave, she received a call from Zhou Jieru. Zhou Jieru had not contacted her for a long time, so why was she calling her at this time? After hesitating for two seconds, she picked up the phone and immediately heard Zhou Jierus excited voice, Mumu, I heard that Qiao Jiannan is in critical condition and is hospitalized. He might not be able to be saved? Qiao Mus expression immediately darkened when she heard that. She originally thought that Zhou Jieru would at least show some concern for her father, but she didnt expect Zhou Jieru to gloat over her fathers misfortune. She couldnt wait for something to happen to her father! Before Qiao Mu could speak, Zhou Jieru continued, lf Qiao Jiannan dies, wont you get arge portion of the inheritance? Mumu, your good days areing! No, its our good day! Chapter 401 - 401: It’s Enough That I Like You (2) Chapter 401: Its Enough That I Like You (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu hadpletely given up on Zhou Jieru. Her voice was cold and emotionless. Madam Zhou, my father will be fine. Dont curse him! Please dont contact me in the future. Whether Im good or bad has nothing to do with you! Qiao Mu, you dont know how to be grateful. I gave birth to you, raised you until you were five, and sent you to the Qiao family to live a good life. Even if theres no credit, theres hard work. Thest time I saw you with Yu Tingyuns cousin, I found out that the man is the CEO of LSAG Group. Hes very rich. I was afraid of disturbing your development with him, so I didnt contact you. I thought that you would think of me when you were rich, but you Qiao Mu couldnt bear to listen to the rowdy voice on the other end of the phone any longer, so she hung up immediately. Was this woman really her mother? Why was there such a mother in this world who did not care about her child at all! Sure enough, her father was right. Zhou Jieru was greedy and had a bad nature. Her father was right to forbid them from interacting! After so many years, she still dreamed of getting motherly love and satisfying Zhou Jierus greed again and again! Before she could put her phone away, it rang again. Qiao Mu answered impatiently, What do you want? Dont call me again! There was no sound from the other end of the phone. Qiao Mu was stunned. She nced at the caller ID, and her anger instantly vanished. Immediately after, the mans low and light voice sounded from the other end of the phone.Who are you angry with? Why are you transferring your anger to me? Qiao Mu coughed lightly. Uncle, I didnt do it on purpose. I didnt see that it was you. Li Yan did not ask further. Ive been guarding the hospital all day. What time will I be back tonight? he asked calmly. What do you want to eat? Ill get the kitchen to prepare it. I just left the hospital and was about to head back. Give me five minutes. Im nearby. Ill pick you up. Alright. Qiao Mu answered and hung up. soon, tne car stopped DY tne roadside, and (Liao mu got ln. The chauffeur in front was driving, and Li Yan was sitting in the back. Qiao Mu had just gotten into the car when his slender arms pulled her into his embrace. Qiao Mu struggled slightly, not caring about the chauffeurs feelings at all. However, Qiao Mus struggle was futile, and she could only lean against his chest. Uncle, are your injuries better? Ive been in the hospital recently and havent checked on your injuries. Havent you already verified it? Why, do you want to verify it again? The mans words were light and carried a hint of provocation. When Qiao Mu recalled how a certain man went into battle one night with a valiant aura despite his injuries, her face instantly turned red. Could he not be so indecent? He could bring the topic to another level with just a few words. Li Yan saw that the little womans tense nerves had rxed. The corners of his mouth curled up as he asked in a low voice, Who called you just now and annoyed you? Qiao Mu lowered her head, her fingers ying with the corner of his clothes. Her emotions were clearly a little lower. Its my mother. She heard that my father was hospitalized, so she thought that I would be able to get a share of the inheritance so that she could benefit. Uncle, why is my mother such a person? Its fine if shes greedy, but shes treated me as a money-making tool since I was young. At first, she asked my father for child support, but then she sold me to my father. Shes my mother and has never liked me.. Chapter 402 - 402: It’s Enough That I Like You (3) Chapter 402: Its Enough That I Like You (3) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan looked at her big eyes that were filled with sorrow. He said in a low voice, Qiao Mu, its not your fault that others dont like you. Thats their problem. Its enough that you have me to like you. Its enough that you have me to like you! Qiao Mu stared nkly at the man in front of her. It was the first time she heard such moving words from his mouth. The sadness in her heart disappearedpletely in an instant. She thought that these were the most touching words of love she had ever heard in her life! Qiao Mu wrapped her arms around Li Yans neck and said in a soft voice, Uncle, say thatst sentence again. Hmm? I didnt hear you clearly. Li Yan broke intoughter. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his thin lips moved. Youre pushing your luck! Qiao Mu pursed her lips. So what if he said it again! Couldnt she experience the feeling of being confessed to again? Humph! He couldnt even satisfy this small request of hers! Qiao Mu felt much more rxed after Li Yans advice. In addition, Qiao Jiannans health had improved today. The nervousness he had felt for the past few days had disappeared bit by bit. After dinner, Qiao Mu took some time off to read. Although she was not going to school, Chi Xia would email her the details of her sses every day. Qiao Mus legs were crossed on the sofa, and she was holding a pen and paper to design clothes ording to the requirements of the research project. Li Yan sat at the side and watched the little woman draw and draw. The way she was immersed in it was exceptionally charming. When this little thing became serious, it waspletely different from its usual sloppy appearance. Li Yan nced at the pattern on the cardboard. Its quite decent. Of course! This is my major. Do you think Im joking? I dont know how many of the fashion drafts I designed have been sold. There are bigpanies that ask me for them. Ive made a lot of money! So youre relying on your own money to live? What else? My mom asks me for money all the time, and the living expenses that Yu Tingyun gives me are not enough. Qiao Mu said nonchntly. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and pulled the little woman into his arms. Be good. You dont have to be so tired in the future. Its not tiring. This is my profession. I like it very much. My dream is to enter a bigpany in the future and be a great designer with an annual sry of a few million! The starting price of designing a piece of clothing is five figures! As Qiao Mu spoke, she excitedly spread out her five fingers and measured the number five. A lowugh rang out from the side, provoking Qiao Mus displeasure. She red at him. Are youughing at me for having great ambitions? No, its a good thing to dare to think! These words clearly did not take her ideals seriously! Her annual sry of a few million yuan was not even enough for this mans monthly sry, okay? She didnt even dare to think about the number of projects he had. It was normal for him to look down on her dreams! Li Yan patted the little womans head. Then hurry up and graduate. Be my personal designer. I guarantee that I can make your dreame true. I wont go through the back door! Qiao Mu pouted. Im relying on my own ability! Moreover, I have a big dream, which is to open my own clothing brand store. Its full of clothes that I design and register my own clothing brand! Sigh, I dont think theres much possibility of this happening. Its fine to let youugh at me. Li Yans eyes flickered as he looked at the little womans expectant look. She mentioned her dreams and her big eyes were shining brightly. She looked very energetic. The corners of his lips curled up. I wontugh at you. Continue to maintain your ideals. Qiao Mu chuckled and continued to bury her head in the design drafts.. Chapter 403 - 403: You Forced Me (1) Chapter 403: You Forced Me (1) Trantor: 549690339 That night, in the hospital. Yu Tingyun stared at the man on the bed without closing her eyes. When this man woke up during the day, he actually told Qiao Mu not toe to the hospital? If she allowed him to recover, this man would never let her off! Now that she had transferred all of the Qiao Corporations funds to the Yu Corporation, she still could not save the Yu Corporation. If Qiao Jiannan woke up at this time, everything she had done would be in vain! She must not let this man wake up and ruin her ns! Suddenly, Qiao Jiannans eyelids moved and his eyes opened. Yu Tingyun panicked and sat steadily on the chair beside the bed. When Qiao Jiannan saw Yu Tingyun, his eyes widened in anger. Yu Tingyun held his hand. Jiannan, youre awake? Ive been by your side for a long time, and youve finally woken up! You You woman, what are you doing! Qiao Jiannans condition had obviously improved, and his speech had be smoother. Jiannan, Im sorry. I lost my mind and did something out of control. Can you forgive me? Ive been looking forward to your recovery for the past few days. I really hope youre well! Yu Tingyuns face was full of pain, as if she was repenting for her mistakes. Qiao Jiannan used all his strength to shake off her hand. Youre delusional! Youre such a sinister woman. Dont even think about getting any benefits from me! Yu Tingyuns expression changedpletely. All the sadness and pain disappeared in an instant. She looked at Qiao Jiannan in despair and said, Qiao Jiannan, youre heartless. Dont me me! You What are you doing? Qiao Jiannan saw the strange and twisted expression on Yu Tingyuns face. He hurriedly reached out to press the emergency bell, but Yu Tingyun stopped him. Jiannan, its the middle of the night. The doctor needs to rest too. Dont disturb him. Yu Tingyun, how did you be like this? Was this woman his wife of twenty to thirty years? Why was it so unfamiliar? How did I be like this? When you had an illegitimate daughter after drinking, you should have known how much I hated you! Yu Tingyuns face was twisted. You brought an illegitimate daughter home and lived under my nose. Every day when I see Qiao Mu, I wish I could strangle her to death, but I have to pretend to be virtuous in front of you. Do you know how tired I am?! Qiao Jiannans eyes widened. Ive discussed this with you! You agreed! Which woman can really ept it? Do you really think Im that generous? I might as well tell you that when Zhou Jieru contacted me, I gave her arge sum of money in order to make you cut off contact with your illegitimate daughter and asked her to leave with the child. But who would have thought that this woman was insatiable? After losing all her money, she came to you to sell the child! Can I tell you about this? I can only treat it as Zhou Jieru scheming against me and silently endure it! In order to give you face, I had no choice but to ept your illegitimate daughter. Do you know how hard it was for me? Every day, I face the evidence of my husband betraying me. Im so depressed that Im about to go crazy! Qiao Jiannan felt guilty. Tingyun, Im sorry. You never told me. Besides, you were so good to Mumu. I thought you had epted her sincerely! Hahaha, treat her well? Qiao Jiannan, youre really blind! You have no idea how Qiao Mu was abused in private. Ive seen how Xiao Ya bullied her since she was young. I almost took her life when I pushed her into the pool! Shes really your good daughter. When she was bullied, she neverined to you.. The more she was like this, the more I let Xiao Ya bully her! Chapter 404 - 404: You Forced Me (2) Chapter 404: You Forced Me (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Jiannans expression changed drastically. You Whats wrong? Heartache? There are still a lot of things you dont know. By the way, I was the one who asked someone to do the car ident when you were hospitalizedst time. SighYou cant me me for this. If you want to me someone, me yourself for insisting on giving Qiao Mu the shares of the Qiao Corporation, so I can only think of a way to stop it. How can I let an illegitimate daughter snatch away what belongs to me? Qiao Jiannan was so angry that his face turned red. He pped the bed hard. You heartless woman, how can you be so vicious! The Qiao Corporation is mine, dont even think about getting a single bit! Yours? What can you do in your current state? Ive already transferred all the funds from the Qiao Corporation to the Yu Corporation. Its no wonder that Ive temporarily helped the Yu Corporation get through this. This can also be considered yourpensation for me over the years. Qiao Jiannans body started to tremble. Yu Tingyunforted him softly, Calm down, take a deep breath. You have to calm down. Jiannan, dont worry. I wont let your illegitimate daughter take the Qiao Corporation away. Ill make good use of the Qiao Corporation! Looking at Qiao Jiannan struggling to get up, Yu Tingyun sighed. I told you not to get agitated, but you insisted on making things difficult for your body. Ill help you. As she spoke, Yu Tingyun picked up the oxygen mask. Originally, Qiao Jiannans normal breathing relied on oxygen. Without the oxygen mask, his breathing became rapid and difficult. He stared at Yu Tingyun with his eyes wide open and his hands were holding her hands tightly. Yu Tingyun frowned and shook his hands off. Seeing that he had stopped struggling, she put the oxygen mask back to its original position. Seeing Qiao Jiannan lose consciousness, Yu Tingyun lost all her strength and fell back into the chair. This time, this man would never wake up, right? Yu Tingyun held Qiao Jiannans hand and said in a trembling voice, Jiannan, you cant me me, you really cant me me. You forced me, you forced me! Thats right! Im not wrong! I didnt do anything In the morning, Qiao Mu and Yu Tingyun switched beds. This time, Yu Tingyun did not insist on staying and quickly left the ward. Not long after Qiao Mu arrived, the doctor came for a checkup. After the checkup, the doctors expression instantly changed. Doctor, is something wrong with my dad? Qiao Mu asked uneasily. The patients condition worsened. Did the patient wake upst night? Why didnt the family inform the doctor when his condition worsened overnight? Qiao Mu was stunned. Her condition worsened? She was fine yesterday, and the doctor said that she could get better. How did she get worse overnight? Qiao Mu called Yu Tingyun, but she couldnt get through. If her father had woken upst night, Yu Tingyun would have told her, but Yu Tingyun didnt even mention it this morning! Qiao Mu panicked and was at a loss. After the doctor performed emergency treatment, he immediately gave the final notice. Half of the patients heart has died, and his condition hasnt been controlled in time. The only thing we can do now is to wait for the patient to wake up, but its also possible that he wont wake up. Family members, be mentally prepared. Wasnt this what it meant to be in a vegetative state? Qiao Mu weakly leaned against the wall and barely managed to keep herself from falling. She shook her head vigorously. No, my dad was fine yesterday! Why did it suddenly be like this? Its hard to say the exact reason, the doctor said seriously. [The 10th update has ended.. Ladies who are silently reading the article, do you dare toe out and ask for rmendation votes? If you girls are awesome, Ill add more updates tomorrow!] Chapter 405 - 405: Fake Paternity Test Chapter 405: Fake Paternity Test Trantor: 549690339 Mu Mu! Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind her. Qiao Mu turned around and saw Zhou Jieru standing at the corner of the corridor. Qiao Mus expression darkened. What are you doing here? Zhou Jieru stepped forward excitedly. Mu Mu, is what the doctor said true? Is Qiao Jiannan dying? You Qiao Mu had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by an angry voice. Qiao Mu, why did you let this b * tche to the hospital? Qiao Mu turned around and saw that Yu Tingyun had returned. Yu Tingyun had nned to leave as if nothing had happened before Qiao Jiannan was found out, but she saw Zhou Jieru at the door! She stared at Zhou Jieru, her eyes filled with anger.You bitch! Are you trying to take advantage of Jiannans poor health to let your daughter snatch the Qiao familys assets? Let me tell you, dont even think about it! Zhou Jieru snorted at Yu Tingyun. Qiao Mu is the daughter of the Qiao family. She has the right to get the Qiao familys inheritance! Inheritance? Jiannan is still fine, yet you curse him to die. You You and your daughter are too sinister! Yu Tingyun turned around and red at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, your father forbade you from interacting with this slut, yet you took advantage of her illness to join forces with this outsider to spy on the Qiao familys assets! Dont even think about getting your way! Jiannans condition is worsening now. Before he wakes up, none of you can think of getting a single cent from the Qiao family! Qiao Mu furrowed her brows and immediately felt that something was amiss. The doctor just confirmed the diagnosis. How did you know that my fathers condition worsened? Yu Tingyuns expression changed. She immediately rushed into the ward and threw herself onto the bed. Jiannan, you have to wake up. You cant let these two b * tches steal the Qiao familys assets. Qiao Mu was about to say something when Yu Tingyun raised her head and red at her coldly. Qiao Mu, your fathers condition will worsen if he finds out that youre hanging out with that slut. From today onwards, you dont have toe to the hospital anymore. The Qiao family has nothing to do with you! Zhou Jierus expression turned ugly when she heard that. What right do you have to chase Mumu out of the Qiao family? Qiao Mus surname is Qiao Yu Tingyun sneered. An outsider like you has no right to gossip about our family! If she was a member of the Qiao family, she wouldnt have coveted the Qiao familys assets with an outsider like you! She really didnt know if she was Jiannans daughter or not! You have a promiscuous private life. You might have found a random man and given birth to a child with Jiannan! Zhou Jierus expression froze. She pointed at Yu Tingyun and stuttered, You What did you say? You did a paternity test back then! The paternity test is also fake! Right now, Im very suspicious that Qiao Mu was sent by you to swindle money from the Qiao family. Qiao Mu, if youre not convinced, then wait until Jiannan wakes up! The premise was that Qiao Jiannan could survive! Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly, and a cold glint shed across her eyes. My fathers condition just worsened, and you cant wait to chase me out of the Qiao family! Yu Tingyun, the doctor said that my fathers condition wont suddenly worsen. Did my father wake upst night? If I find out that my fathers condition worsened because of you, I wont let you off! Haha, what a joke. Jiannan is my husband. Why would I harm him? As for you, Jiannan was still fine when I left this morning, but his condition worsened shortly after I left. Qiao Mu, did you join hands with this b * tch to anger Jiannan to death and get his inheritance? Let me tell you, delusional! Stop talking nonsense and leave with your mother. Dont disturb Jiannan! [I have something to do and have to update. Ill update first. Ill updateter..] Chapter 406 - 406: She Must Pay the Price Chapter 406: She Must Pay the Price Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu nced at Yu Tingyun coldly. Ill investigate this matter thoroughly! Recalling the doctors words, Qiao Mu felt that there was something wrong with Yu Tingyun, especially her behavior this morning! When Qiao Mu left the hospital, she saw Zhou Jieru following behind her and said coldly, The Qiao familys matters have nothing to do with you. Dont even think about robbing them in the chaos! Zhou Jieru was immediately annoyed. What do you mean by taking advantage of a burning house? Is this what you say to your mother? Why are you so heartless? You were chased out of the Qiao family by Yu Tingyun. Hurry up and think of a way! Zhou Jieru chattered on and on. When she raised her head and met Qiao Mus gaze, she was instantly stunned by the unfamiliar coldness in her gaze. This girl had been obedient since she was young, but now, she did not treat her as her biological mother! She really let this wretched girl live a good life for nothing! She had waited for so many years for Qiao Mu to finally get her inheritance, so how could she let go of such a good opportunity! Yu Tingyun was very uneasy after being suspected by Qiao Mu. She could not sit still and wait for death! After making sure that Qiao Jiannan would not wake up and was almost in a vegetative state, he was finally relieved. He hired a nurse for Qiao Jiannan and went to thepany. She had to empty the Qiao Corporation as soon as possible. Even if the Qiao Corporation could go bankrupt, the Yu Corporation could not! Qiao Ya entered the office and saw that Yu Tingyun looked very haggard. She was very concerned. Mom, your body wont be able to take it if you go back and forth between the hospital and the office. Little Ya, your fathers condition worsened this morning. The doctor is not sure when he will wake up. Mom can only rely on you now. Qiao Yas face turned pale. How could this be Yu Tingyun held Qiao Yas hand with a sorrowful expression. Qiao Mu and her mother appeared at the hospital this morning. Your fathers condition worsened after I left. They must have angered your father so much that his condition worsened. We cant let Qiao Mu do it! It was Qiao Mu again! Qiao Yas expression turned vicious as she qritted her teeth. Mom, what should we do? Qiao Mu has Li Yan as her backer. She wont really take everything away from us, right? Li Yan? Yu Tingyun was stunned. Mom, you dont know, but Qiao Mu hooked up with Li Yan. Qiao Mu stays at the Li family vi at night! Yu Tingyuns expression was as ugly as it could get. She did not expect Qiao Mu to be able to lure Li Yan into her trap! Li Yan clearly had a fiance, and he was still with Qiao Mu. He wondered if Yu Yiduo knew about this. Presumably, that fiance was arranged for Li Yan by the Li family. If Yu Yiduo knew that her son had another woman behind his fiances back, and that woman was her stepdaughter, she would definitely be furious! A scheming look shed across Yu Tingyuns eyes. Xiaoya, we must not let Qiao Mu get the Qiao familys assets. She must have used some means to make your fathers condition worse, and hes almost in a vegetative state now. We must make her pay the price and receive legal punishment! Qiao Ya looked at Yu Tingyuns vicious expression and nodded nkly. In the evening, when Li Yan returned home, he saw Qiao Mu curled up on the sofa, hugging herself into a ball. She looked extremely dejected. The butler stepped forward and said, Young Master, Miss Qiao has been sitting on the sofa listlessly ever since she came back from the hospital. I wonder if something happened to her. Qiao Mu, who had her head lowered, heard the sound. She raised her head and saw the man standing at the door. She immediately jumped off the sofa and walked over to him.. Chapter 407 - 407: You Have to Learn to Depend on Me Chapter 407: You Have to Learn to Depend on Me Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was barefooted, and she did not even have time to put on her slippers. She directly threw herself into Li Yans arms and hugged his waist tightly, pressing her face against his chest. Uncle. Li Yan looked at her feet stepping on the cold floor and frowned slightly. He picked her up and ced her on the sofa. Qiao Mu silently leaned into Li Yans embrace and tightly hugged his waist, refusing to let go. After a while, she looked up at him. Uncle, my father will wake up, right? Yes, hell be fine. Ill get the best medical institution to help him wake up as soon as possible. As long as he has hope, hell definitely get through this sadness. Uncle is right, so I have to be strong. Even if Yu Tingyun kicks me out of the Qiao family, I cant give up! Qiao Mus tone was extremely firm, and the uneasiness she felt earlier instantly disappeared. Li Yan stroked her head. His little woman was always so strong. The more difficult the times were, the harder it was to defeat her. It was Yu Tingyuns misfortune to have provoked her! Qiao Mu looked at the man beside her. Uncle, help me. Alright, what do you want me to do? The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. This little thing still knew how to rely on him at such a critical moment. Qiao Mu calmed down and recalled the series of events that had happened. 1 want to know why Yu Tingyun would harm my father. When my father was hospitalized, the servants said that they saw Yu Tingyun and my father together when they got home. Also, my fathers condition had obviously improved during the day yesterday, but Yu Tingyun stayed with him for the whole night and suddenly worsened. I keep feeling that something is wrong. Theres no need to investigate this at all. While your father was hospitalized, Yu Tingyun had already emptied the Qiaos Enterprises funds and transferred them all to Yus Enterprise. Yus Enterprise needs topensate Lis Enterprise for breaching the contract, as well as the penalty for tax evasion. They need a huge sum of money. Only Qiaos Enterprise can help her tide over this crisis. Qiao Mu was stunned. So, for the sake of the Yu Corporation, its very possible that she Its not possible. This woman can do anything. You should be mentally prepared. Li Yan reminded him solemnly. Then what should I do now? Li Yan ced Qiao Mu on hisp and wrapped his arms around her. What you need to do now is to have dinner, have a good sleep, and rest up. Leave the rest to me. But Mu Mu, you have to learn to rely on me. In the past, without me by your side, you couldnt resist them and could only be bullied. But now, you have me. Ill help you solve the things that you cant do anything about. You just have to take good care of yourself. Then, trust me! Qiao Mus heart warmed when she heard the mans words. She felt a warm current flowing through her heart, melting her ice-cold heart in an instant. Thats right! From now on, she had him! She was no longer alone when she was in trouble. She had a strong pir behind her that gave her enough strength! She wrapped her arms around his neck and nodded. Uncle, I believe you! The next day, Qiao Mu received a call from Qiao Ya. She said that Qiao Jiannans condition had worsened again and asked her toe to the hospital. Qiao Mu rushed to the hospital. When she arrived at the ward and saw that there were many people in the room, she immediately had a bad feeling. There was an attending doctor in the ward, as well asTwo police officers! Qiao Mu was stunned. What was going on? In the next second, Qiao Yas voice was heard. Officer, shes Qiao Mu. Shes the one who harmed my father! [Next, Im going to torture Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya..] Chapter 408 - 408: Framed (1) Chapter 408: Framed (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu frowned. Qiao Ya, what are you talking about? The police officer looked at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, Ms. Yu reported to the police that you did something that threatened Mr. Qiaos health when he was in critical condition and unconscious. As a result, Mr. Qiaos condition worsened and hes still in aa. Qiao Mu was stunned. She looked at Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya and immediately understood that these two people wanted to frame her! When she was suspecting Yu Tingyun, Yu Tingyun had already started to frame her! Qiao Mu calmly clenched her fists. What a coincidence. I also suspect that someone did something to my father, and the person I suspect is Yu Tingyun. Before the police officer could speak, Qiao Ya scolded angrily, Youre really the first toin. You suspect my mother. Do you have any evidence? Then what evidence do you have to suspect me? Officer, Yu Tingyun is more suspicious, isnt she? The doctor said that if the patients family noticed that something was wrong with the patient, they should inform the doctor in time. It wouldnt have caused such serious consequences! Qiao Ya was about to say something when she was interrupted by the police. She looked at the doctor and said, When did you realize that the patient was in critical condition? The doctor nced at Qiao Mu. When I came to check on the patient, Miss Qiao Mu was the only one in the ward. Miss Yu wasnt around, so the patients exact time of illness is unknown. It could have happened at night or in the morning. What we can confirm is that the patients condition was under very good control before this. However, the sudden deterioration of his condition is very likely due to some kind of stimtion. His heart couldnt take it and caused his entire body to be paralyzed. However, the patients family members didnt realize that the patient had woken up. So, someone is lying? the police officer asked. Yu Tingyun looked pained. I stayed by Jiannans side that night. Although I slept for a while, I held his hand andy on the bed. If he moved slightly, I would wake up. If he had any reaction, how could I not know? Yu Tingyuns voice was a little shaky and choked with sobs. She looked extremely sad. She nced at Qiao Mu and continued, I didnt know that Jiannan woke up, but it was only when I went to the washroom. I had a stomachache that night for some reason, and I only ate the dinner Qiao Mu gave me. What made me angrier was that I left the hospital and saw Qiao Mus mother in the hospital. When that woman heard that Jiannans condition had worsened, she asked Qiao Mu excitedly if Jiannan was dying. That woman has always been greedy. If she did anything to Jiannan in order to let Qiao Mu get the Qiao familys assets, she would definitely be able to do something to him.That was too vicious! If she wanted money, she could have told me directly. Why did she let Qiao Mu harm my husband As she spoke, Yu Tingyun cried sadly. Qiao Ya gently patted her back andforted her in a low voice. The two of them looked really pitiful to others. However, Qiao Mu felt a chill run down her spine as she listened to Yu Tingyuns every word. This woman was extremely vicious! At this moment, Qiao Mu was certain that Yu Tingyun had something to do with her fathers ident! So, youre saying that Ive been waiting here in the middle of the night, waiting for you to go to the bathroom. What did I do to my father? Qiao Mu asked coldly. How would I know what you did! Qiao Ya looked at Qiao Mu and said fiercely, Ive already contacted your school and found out that you didnt spend the night in the school dormitory or go home.. If you werent hiding in the hospital, where else could you be? Qiao Mu, could it be that theres someone who can prove that youre not in the hospital? Chapter 409 - 409: Framed (2) Chapter 409: Framed (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was furious, and her tone was cold. Why do I have to prove that Im not in the hospital? The person lying on the hospital bed is my father. What reason do I have to harm him? Dont go too far! Yu Tingyun wiped her tears with a tissue and said weakly, also want to know. Shes your father. How can you be so cruel? Qiao Mu, arent you holding a grudge because your father didnt give you the Qiao Corporations shares? Why didnt he give you shares? Isnt it because youre in private with your creedv mother?! As Yu Tingyun spoke, she looked at the police officer and said, Officer, everything I said is true. You can go and investigate. I just hope that you can give us an exnation so that my husband wont be lying in bed for no reason and wont be able to wake up. Qiao Mu felt that Yu Tingyun was wasting her acting skills by not acting! Her sad and tearful words immediately made everyone sympathize with her and subconsciously believe her. Qiao Mu could sense that the gazes of the people in the room were filled with coldness, disgust, and disbelief as if she had already been convicted of murdering her father. This girl is too ruthless, isnt she? the nurse muttered. Shes only eighteen or neen years old, yet she can do such a vicious thing. Anything can happen in a wealthy family, another nurse said. Theyre really risking their lives to snatch their assets! The police frowned and red at the nurse, chasing all the unrted people out of the ward. The police officer looked at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, you have to understand your current situation. If you cant find an alibi and no one can prove that you werent at the hospital that night, then youre the biggest suspect! Qiao Mu nced at Qiao Ya. The expression in Qiao Yas eyes seemed to confirm that she had no alibi. Qiao Ya must have known that she was with Li Yan and thought that Li Yan would note forward to prove it. Moreover, her rtionship with Li Yan could not be made public, so it would cause her to be in a terrible situation. This mother-daughter pair was really meticulous! However, they had overlooked the rtionship between Li Yan and her! They would never believe that she was already together with Li Yan! Before Qiao Mu could say anything, Qiao Ya already lost her cool. Qiao Mu, just admit it honestly. What did you do to Daddy? If you take the initiative to plead guilty, the crime can be reduced. If you refuse toply, you can wait to go to jail! Qiao Ya could not wait to see Qiao Mus terrified expression, but Qiao Mu was not as frightened as she had expected when she threatened her. Qiao Mu sneered. Do you think that you have the final say in thew? Do you think that whoever you send to jail will go to jail? I didnt do it. Even if I dont have an alibi, theres no evidence that I was there either. She paused and looked at the police officer. Officer, you dont suspect Yu Tingyun, who has been guarding the ward, but you believe their words and suspect me. Other than a one-sided statement, do you have any other evidence? The police officer frowned. Although theres no other evidence, youre the biggest suspect. If you cant prove it, you can onlye with us to the police station to investigate Before the police officer could finish speaking, a loud voice sounded at the door of the ward. What do you want to prove? I can prove it! As soon as she finished speaking, a slender figure appeared at the door. The woman walked into the ward with a smile on her face. Being a witness is such an important thing. Of course, I have to do it! [Theres still five more to watch. Dont be impatient..] Chapter 410 - 410: I’m Here to Be a Witnesses Chapter 410: Im Here to Be a Witnesses Trantor: 549690339 Everyone in the room was stunned. Qiao Mu knew who the other party was just by hearing his voice. Her dear grandaunt was here! Although she didnt show it on her face, she was very surprised. Why would Yu Yiduo appear at this time? Did Li Yan already know what Yu Tingyun had done? At this moment, Qiao Mu instantly calmed down and no longer felt uneasy. Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya were stunned. What was Yu Yiduo doing here? Suddenly, Yu Tingyun had a bad feeling. What did Yu Yiduo just say? She wanted to be a witness? She wanted to prove for Qiao Mu that Qiao Mu wasnt in the hospital that night? Did she know about Qiao Mu and Li Yans rtionship? Looking at Yu Yiduos energetic face, Yu Tingyun felt a wave of anger in her heart. She suppressed her emotions and said, What are you doing here? Our family is in such a mess, and you still want toe in and interfere? Yu Yiduo smiled faintly. Im here as a witness. That night, Qiao Mu was with my son, and my son is a little busy right now, so he asked me toe over and settle this. What a joke! Do you think this is a joke? Yu Tingyun looked at the police officer and said, Dont listen to this womans nonsense. She has a grudge against me. She will do anything to harm me! Yu Yiduo looked at Yu Tingyun sarcastically. You overestimate yourself. I dont have that much time to waste on you. Im here to help Mumu and watch you make a fool of yourself. Thats good too. Yu Yiduo patted Qiao Mus head and sighed. How could our Mumu have such a vicious stepmother? How could such an obedient child be framed? The police have to deal with this matter fairly! Uncle policeman The corner of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. Yu Yiduos attitude was too casual in such a solemn asion. The police officer looked at Yu Yiduo unhappily. Tell me clearly. Was Qiao Mu with you or your son that night? What did she do? She didnt leave at all that night. Officer, arent you asking a little too personal? Qiao Mu was with my son. What do you think she was doing all night? Sleeping, of course! Who would leave in the middle of the night? As Yu Yiduo spoke, she immediately became serious when she saw the police officers serious expression. There are surveince cameras outside our house. We know exactly when Qiao Mues home and when she leaves. You can send someone to my house to get the surveince recordster. As she spoke, Yu Yiduo handed her name card to the police officer. This is my sons name card. You can contact him when the timees! My son is definitely a good citizen who abides by thew. He will definitely cooperate with the police investigation! The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched a few times again. Good citizens who abide by thew..Are you sure its Li Yan? When the police officer saw the name card, he was stunned for a moment, but his attitude towards Yu Yiduo immediately became very enthusiastic. Li Yan, the president of the Las Corporation, actually had such a special rtionship with Qiao Mu! Due to the previous incident with the former mayor, everyone in the police station knew that Li Yan was very familiar with Chief Su of the police station. They could not afford to offend this man! In an instant, Qiao Mus suspicion was immediately cleared. What fight for property? With a man like Li Yan, why would she still need to pry into the Qiao familys assets? Obviously, Yu Tingyun had made it up! Yu Tingyuns face was already twisted. She never expected that Yu Yiduo and Qiao Mus rtionship would be so good! These two women, the two people she hated the most, how could they get along so well? Chapter 411 - 411: A Great Reversal Chapter 411: A Great Reversal Trantor: 549690339 She thought that Yu Yiduo would treat Qiao Mu badly because Qiao Mu was her stepdaughter, but she never expected it to be like this! Yu Yiduo seemed to have read Yu Tingyuns mind. She smiled faintly and said, Niece, thank you for raising my daughter-inw so well. No, thank you for being merciful and not crippling my daughter-inw. If my daughter-inw became like your daughter, she would be ruined. You Yu Tingyun gritted her teeth in anger! Qiao Ya was humiliated and could no longer hold back her anger. She red at Yu Yiduo and said, Who do you think you are? How dare you insult my mother and me like this? How can Qiao Mu, that slut, bepared to me! Who am I? Just as I expected, the daughter Yu Tingyun raised is really not presentable! Yu Yiduos smiling face immediately darkened. She took a step forward, raised her hand, and pped Qiao Yas cheek. A crisp and loud pa sound was heard, causing Qiao Ya to bepletely stunned. Qiao Ya came back to her senses and covered her face. She looked at the police officers with fire in her eyes. Hurry up and arrest her. Didnt you see that she hit me? Yu Yiduo sneered. Is it illegal for me to educate my niece? The police officer at the side immediately smiled and nodded. Of course its not against thew. Its only right to educate such an uneducated junior. A p is considered light. Qiao Yas expression turned extremely ugly! Since this is a misunderstanding, well take our leave first, the police officer said. Wait a minute, this is not a misunderstanding! The one who spoke was Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu looked at the police. Although Ive cleared the suspect, Yu Tingyun hasnt. Yu Tingyun is right. Someone must have harmed my father. Since she called the police, Ill have to trouble the police to help solve this matter! The police officer nodded. This is indeed strange. Yu Tingyun has be the biggest suspect. Yu Tingyun,e with us to the police station! Yu Tingyuns face was pale as she widened her eyes. In an instant, the positions of both sides changed! Originally, Qiao Mu was the suspect, and she had nned to punish Qiao Mu. But now, she was asking for trouble and getting herself into trouble! What evidence do you have? Yu Tingyun asked, pretending to be calm. Without evidence, I wont leave with you! If you have anything to say, talk to mywyer! Yu Yiduo sneered. The evidence will be there soon. Theres no hurry. Since youve done it, you dont have to worry about not finding evidence! Yu Tingyun felt extremely guilty. She had lost her confidence now that Li Yan was involved in this matter! She had originally thought that Qiao Mu was alone without a backer, so she could easily defeat Qiao Mu. However, Li Yan was not easy to deal with! Taking a deep breath, Yu Tingyun walked out of the door and said, lm very busy at thepany ana dont nave time to waste with you guys. when you have evidence,e and find me! But I believe that I didnt do it, so I naturally wont have any evidence! Suddenly, a cold and deep voice slowly sounded, 1s that so? Unfortunately, I found evidence. Yu Tingyun suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Li Yan, who was walking towards her, in shock. Found itEvidence? When Qiao Mu saw Li Yan, she went up to him. Uncle, why are you here? Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand and smiled faintly. Ive said it before. Leave this matter to me.. Chapter 412 - 412: Raising a Son Is for Another Woman Chapter 412: Raising a Son Is for Another Woman Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus heart warmed. The worse the situation was, the more she could feel how good this man was to her. He was always able to solve her problems at important moments. Unknowingly, she had a firm consciousness in her heart. As long as he was around, nothing would be a problem! Yu Yiduo stood at the side and watched as her son treated Qiao Mu so gently. She felt a surge of emotions in her heart. Her son, who had always been cold and uninterested in everything, would also treat a woman with care. She really envied her daughter-inw. Even she did not receive such good treatment in front of her son! As expected, raising a son was for another woman. However, when she thought about how she had treated other peoples sons so well over the years and how they would grant her every request, she felt a little better. Seeing her son showing off his affection in front of her, she couldnt wait to go home and look for her old man. However, Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya were not in the mood to enjoy Li Yan and Qiao Mus love. This was the first time Li Yan and Qiao Mu had publicly dered their rtionship in front of them. From the looks of it, the two of them had obviously been together for more than a day or two! At this moment, Yu Tingyun suddenly realized that she had been kept in the dark. Qiao Mu had been secretly seducing Li Yan! This woman really hid her true colors, just like her cheap mother! Yu Tingyun had nowhere else to go. Thinking of that bitch Zhou Jieru, she quietly took out her phone and sent a message. Although she was unwilling, she could only gamble on that greedy woman at this time! Li Yan raised his head, and the moment his gaze shifted away from Qiao Mus face, the warmth in his eyes immediately disappeared. His cold gaze swept toward Yu Tingyun. Yu Tingyun felt her entire body stiffen. It was the first time she had seen such a bone-chilling gaze! Although Li Yan had been very cold to her previously, he had never been so scary before. It made her shudder! Fortunately, I came in time. Otherwise, Mumu would have been taken away by the police and convicted! Li Yan looked at Yu Tingyun and raised his eyebrows coldly. You want evidence? I have the surveince camera of this ward here. I recorded everything that happened clearly! Yu Tingyuns expression changed drastically. No Impossible! There were no surveince cameras in the hospital ward! The hospital has no right to pry into the patients privacy! Did I say that the hospital installed surveince cameras? I asked someone to install the surveince cameras. My woman is in contact with a sinister person like you every day. Its normal for me to be worried about her. But who would have thought that they would capture an unexpected scene? Li Yans tone was neither hurried nor slow. Yu Tingyuns face turned paler with every word he said. Seeing the change in Yu Tingyuns expression, Li Yan curled his lips coldly. Whats wrong? Cant you continue pretending? What are you feeling guilty about? Ridiculous! I didnt do anything. Why would I feel guilty? Although Yu Tingyun was scared, she was a shrewd person who knew how to hide her feelings. No matter how guilty she was, she would try her best not to show it. As long as she didnt see the surveince footage, she would be able to keep her cool! However, Qiao Ya was not as calm as Yu Tingyun. She was so nervous that she didnt know what to do. Qiao Ya actually understood that if someone wanted to harm her father, it definitely wouldnt be Qiao Mu. Qiao Ya knew very well how filial Qiao Mu was to Qiao Jiannan. When Yu Tingyun had said those words to her and framed Qiao Mu, she had taken the opportunity to agree.. It was not because she truly believed that Qiao Mu had done anything, but because she wanted to help her mother and herself! Chapter 413 - 413: Li Yan, You’re Using Qjao Mu Chapter 413: Li Yan, Youre Using Qjao Mu Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu absolutely could not be left alive! However, who would have thought that things would turn out like this! Qiao Ya stood behind Yu Tingyun. She could see that Yu Tingyuns clenched fists were trembling after hearing what Li Yan had said. When she thought about how Yu Tingyun had snatched Qiao Jiannans life-saving medicine away at home, Qiao Ya felt a chill down her spine. Did her mother really do something to her father that caused him to be half a vegetable? Qiao Yas legs went weak as she fell back into the chair. It was impossible. Her mother would not be so heartless. She would not do anything overboard to her father! Qiao Mus expression darkened when she saw Qiao Yas expression. Qiao Ya, do you know something? I dont know! Qiao Ya shouted excitedly, Dont ask me, I dont know anything! I dont know! This way, it was obvious that he was confessing without being forced! Shut up! Yu Tingyun roared. Why are you panicking?! Qiao Ya grabbed Yu Tingyun in panic. Mom, you didnt hurt Dad, did you? You didnt hurt Dad, right? What nonsense are you talking about? How could I have such a good-for-nothing daughter like you?! Stand up, dont embarrass me! When Qiao Mu saw this scene, a cold glint shed across her eyes. Yu Tingyun had always been gentle and indulgent towards Qiao Ya, but now that she was in trouble, she didnt even care about her own daughter! How heartless was this woman? At this moment, Qiao Mu only felt that Yu Tingyun was extremely sorrowful. Her husband and daughter were worthless to her. In her eyes, there was only Yu Corporation and only fame and fortune! Qiao Mu gently held Li Yans hand and asked in a low voice, Uncle, what did the surveince cameras capture? What did she do to my father? Li Yan looked down at the little woman. I will hand the surveince footage to the police. She will be punished byw for what she has done! Yu Tingyunughed maniacally. Li Yan, do you think Im a fool? What surveince camera? Youre lying to me. Dont even think about making me admit my crime! Li Yan raised his cold eyes. So, you did it but youre not willing to confess?! You Dont think Ill take the bait! Yu Tingyun roared angrily. She saw a sneaky figure outside the ward and sneered. I know, Li Yan. You want to take my Yu Corporation away for Yu Yiduo. The Li family wants to take revenge on me and use Qiao Mu. You dont like Qiao Mu at all. Youre using her by being with her! After you defeat me, youll dump her! Li Yans pitch-ck eyes seemed to be covered with ayer of frost. Back then, he and Qiao Mu were sowed into discord like this, which resulted in them being separated for ten years. Did she think that after so many years, they would still be instigated by her? Sensing that Li Yan was losing control of his anger, Qiao Mu tightened her grip on his hand. The man lowered his head to look at her, and she smiled at him. Uncle, do you still remember what I told youst night? Li Yan was stunned. Last night, he told her to rely on him. She said that she believed him! The anger in his heart instantly dissipated. He smiled. I remember. Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyun and coldly said, Yu Tingyun, youre saying so much just to cover up your guilt. In your eyes, theres no true love thats worth believing. Thats why you dont believe in other peoples feelings. Youre really sad.. Chapter 414 - 414: You ‘re Not Qjao Jiannan ‘s Daughter Chapter 414: You re Not Qjao Jiannan s Daughter Trantor: 549690339 Im sad? Qiao Mu, youre the sad one! You were sold to the Qiao family when you were young. Its sad that an unwanted wild child like you lived shamelessly until now! Qiao Mu, dont think that you can get the Qiao familys assets. Dream on! Because youre not Qiao Jiannans biological daughter! Qiao Mu sneered. Youre really crazy. You only know how to bite people at a time like this! You dont believe me? You can ask your biological mother! Yu Tingyun looked at the door. Zhou Jieru, why are you standing outside and noting in? Qiao Mu turned around and indeed saw Zhou Jieru standing outside the door. Qiao Mu frowned. What are you doing here again? The Qiao familys matters have nothing to do with you! When Zhou Jieru heard this, she angrily shouted, Qiao Mu, since youre heartless, dont me me! Yu Tingyun is right. Im here to tell you that youre not mv daughter and Oiao Tiannans daughter! What did you say? Qiao Mu widened her eyes in disbelief. Mom, can you stop causing trouble? Dont call me Mom! Qiao Mu, do you still treat me as your mother? Now that youve hooked up with a rich man, you have endless money to spend. If you treat me as your mother, would my life be so hard now? I thought I could benefit from following you, but since you want to cut ties with me, I dont need to hide it anymore! Qiao Mu was stunned. Zhou Jieru did not look like she was lying at all. Zhou Jieru continued, Back then, I did have sex with Qiao Jiannan. Later on, when I got pregnant, the Qiao family gave me arge sum of money to have an abortion. I took the money and went for an operation. However, after I signed a gambling debt, I went to the orphanage to carry a child that was abandoned right after it was born. I pretended that I didnt abort the child and continued to ask the Qiao family for money. I didnt expect this trick to work. I was addicted to money! Qiao Mu shook her head. Impossible! Youre lying! Qiao Mu, if youre really my biological daughter, do you think Id sell you out? Qiao Mu took a step back unsteadily. Li Yan pulled the little woman into his arms and swept his cold gaze at Zhou Jieru.Even if Qiao Mu isnt your daughter, why did you mention this at this time? Could it be that this will benefit you? Zhou Jieru was stunned, then she said righteously, I just cant stand Qiao Mu being smug and not giving me any benefits. Why should I let her get the Qiao familys assets? Yu Yiduo watched silently from the side. This was the first time she had seen Zhou Jieru. She originally thought that Qiao Mu did not look like Qiao Jiannan and would definitely look like her mother. However, upon closer inspection, Qiao Mu and Zhou Jieru did not look alike at all. Or it could be said that Zhou Jierus appearance was not outstanding, but Qiao Mu was too beautiful. There was not a trace of Zhou Jieru or Qiao Jiannan on Qiao Mus face. Be it facial features or the shape of the face, there was no simrity at all. Yu Tingyun also noticed this. She had to admit that Qiao Mu looked like a vixen and was prettier than Qiao Ya since she was young. This was a great irony in Yu Tingyuns eyes. Could it be that this was true At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Lei Yis voice came from the door. Young Master, I just found out that Zhou Jierus ount received a transfer of three million yuan twenty minutes ago. Zhou Jieru was shocked and panicked. At the same time, Yu Tingyuns expression changed, and Lei Yis voice continued, Yu Tingyuns assistant transferred the money to Zhou Jieru. [Im sorry for updatingte today.. Ill kill Yu Tingyun in seconds tomorrow Chapter 415 - 415: What Was Exposed Was Not A Lie Chapter 415: What Was Exposed Was Not A Lie Trantor: 549690339 Yu Tingyuns expression changed. Before Qiao Mu could even feel the pleasure of being hit, her lie was exposed! Just now, she had sent a message to her assistant to bribe Zhou Jieru. Zhou Jieru had always been insatiable. As long as she was given money, she would do anything. In addition to Qiao Mus attitude toward her, she could not get any benefits from Qiao Mu, so she was easily bribed to nder Qiao Mu. However, Yu Tingyun did not expect that no matter how much she schemed, she would not be able to win against Li Yan! Li Yan had blocked her way and defeated her in an instant! When Qiao Mu heard Lei Yis words, she abruptly looked up at Zhou Jieru and said in disbelief, Mom, you were bribed by Yu Tingyun. Are you saying this to me for money? She had always known that Zhou Jieru was greedy for money, but she didnt expect it to reach this point! Since she was exposed, Zhou Jieru didnt feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she smiled very happily. At this point, I have nothing to hide. Anyway, you dont treat me as your biological mother, so lets go all out! Its true that I epted Yu Tingyuns money. Yu Tingyun gave me money and told me to lie, but Qiao Mu, everything I said is true! Qiao Mus face paled. Although she did not want to believe it, Zhou Jierus behavior showed that she really did not treat her as her daughter! She looked at the man lying on the hospital bed. Was this person really not her father? For so many years, she had always treated him as her only family. Although she had long given up on Zhou Jieru, her father had always been so good to her! Even if he knew that she was in contact with Zhou Jieru, even if he knew that Yu Tingyun would be unhappy, he still nned to give her a share of the Qiao Corporations shares because he treated her like a member of the Qiao family! Qiao Mus heart was in a mess, and she felt the arm around her waist tighten. She looked up nkly and met those deep eyes. His dark eyes were endless, but it made her feel very at ease. Qiao Mu still refused to give up and looked at Zhou Jieru. So, youve never treated me as your daughter all these years and have only been using me? Qiao Mu, no matter what, I raised you for five years. Your life wasnt good, and you were supposed to grow up in an orphanage. I was the one who sent you to the Qiao family and gave you a good life. You should thank me! Giving me some pocket money is nothing! Its because youre too selfish that I told you the truth. You asked for it! Zhou Jierus tone sounded so natural. Qiao Mus heart was inplete despair. She believed that this woman was not her biological mother! How could her mother be so cruel to her! Zhou Jieru was shocked when she saw Yu Tingyun still in a daze. Are you surprised? Yu Tingyun, since you gave me so much money, Im telling you the truth! All these years, how much money did I get from the Qiao family using Qiao Mu? In the end, you still want to bribe me with three million! Its not just you. Even Qiao Jiannan has been deceived by me for more than ten years. Its good that Qiao Jiannan doesnt wake up. If he wakes up and finds out about this secret, Im afraid hell be furious! Yu Tingyun stared at Zhou Jieru with red eyes. But we did a paternity test back then! Paternity test? You mean that strand of hair? I pulled a strand of hair from your daughters head and tested it. Itd be a wonder if hes not your biological father and daughter! Zhou Jieru seemed to be showing off her cleverness and spoke very happily.. Chapter 416 - 416: What a Big Joke Chapter 416: What a Big Joke Trantor: 549690339 Yu Tingyuns face darkened. So, all her pain all these years was caused by a fake illegitimate daughter? Mu, she wished she could strangle her. It turned out that all of this was a joke from the heavens! She had been tortured for so many years. Now that she knew the truth, was this a surprise or a huge blow to her? In order to prevent Qiao Mu from obtaining the assets, she had put in a lot of effort. Not only did she arrange Qiao Jiannans car ident, but even Qiao Jiannans situation today was also rted to Qiao Mu! If it were not for Qiao Mu, her rtionship with Qiao Jiannan would not have be like this! It was all because of Qiao Mu! Hahahaha Yu Tingyun couldnt help butugh out loud. Sheughed so crazily that she raised her head without caring about her image. Her face was twisted. After a while, she red fiercely at Qiao Mu. lts all your fault! Qiao Mu, its all your fault for ruining our Qiao family! But now, you wont get anything! You have nothing to do with the Qiao family. Dont even think about getting anything from the Qiao family! Qiao Mus expression turned cold as she took a step forward. The man behind her seemed to be worried and refused to let go of her hand. She shook her head at him to indicate that she was fine and left his embrace. Qiao Mu nced at Yu Tingyun and coldly said, lve never wanted to take away any of the Qiao familys assets. I originally nned to leave the Qiao family after graduation. Everything was because you were paranoid and deliberately wanted to chase me away. For your fame and fortune, not only did you target me, but you also caused my father to be like this! Yu Tingyun, how vicious are you to do such a sinister thing! What nonsense are you spouting! What evidence do you have to prove that I harmed him? Dont nder me! Also, hes no longer your father. Youre just a wild child. You have nothing to do with our Qiao family! Yu Tingyun had long lost her image, and her face was extremely distorted. She pointed at Qiao Mu. Get lost! All of you, get out! Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyuns crazed expression and felt that it was useless to say another word to such a person! Perhaps it was because Yu Tingyun had been pretending to be noble and virtuous all these years, but now she was crazier than anyone else. Li Yan nced at the policeman beside him. The policeman immediately understood and stepped forward. Yu Tingyun, regarding Qiao Jiannans murder case, pleasee with us to the police station! You want me to go with you, and Ill go? Do you think I dont know thew? If you have evidence, thene and arrest me with an arrest warrant! Qiao Mu nced at Qiao Ya, who was still in a daze. I think your daughter knows something. Qiao Ya, the police are right here. If you dont report what you know, its equivalent tomitting a crime! If you help your mother harm your father, you wont be able to get away with it! I dont know anything! Qiao Ya roared angrily, still in shock. Li Yans cold gazended on Qiao Yas face. Why? Do you want to go to jail with this crazy woman? Shes crazy, and youre crazy too? Prison Qiao Yas eyes widened. Li Yans gaze was so oppressive that she almost could not breathe. Yu Tingyun looked like she had gone mad. Her eyes were unfamiliar, and she had never felt so scared before! Her father was now lying on the hospital bed, and she did not know when he would wake up.. Her mother, on the other hand, seemed to have gone mad, making her afraid! Chapter 417 - 417: Everything Is Finished! Chapter 417: Everything Is Finished! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Ya waved her hands vigorously and hugged her head with both hands. She said in a panic, 1t has nothing to do with me! It really had nothing to do with me. I didnt see anythingMy mother didnt do it on purpose. She didnt take the medicine from my fathers hand. She didnt cause my father to be like this. Its not Yu Tingyun widened her eyes in disbelief and roared, Qiao Ya, shut up! What nonsense are you talking about! Qiao Ya was jolted awake by a furious roar. She raised her head in shock and realized that she had said something wrong! She shook her head vigorously. No, no, I didnt say anything! Qiao Mus expression instantly darkened. As expected, Qiao Jiannans ident was rted to Yu Tingyun! When Qiao Jiannans illness acted up, it was Yu Tingyun who snatched the medicine away, which caused his illness to not be suppressed in time! Yu Tingyuns face was pale. She took a step back and fell on the chair. She never expected Qiao Ya to see that scene! She had thought that everything would be wless. Even if she was suspected, as long as Qiao Jiannan did not wake up and she hired a goodwyer to help her file awsuit, she would be able to get away with it! However, Qiao Ya had miscalcted! The police officer said seriously, Yu Tingyun, your daughter has already confessed. What else do you have to say? I didnt do it! I wont admit it! Thene with us to the police station! The police officers took out handcuffs and cuffed Yu Tingyuns wrists. Yu Tingyun struggled with all her might. You have no right to do this. I want to hire awyer. I didnt do anything. Qiao Mu did everything. Its all her fault! I cant go with you. I still have apany to take care of. Qiao Corporation and Yu Corporation cant do without me! What right do you have to arrest me? What right do you have?! Yu Tingyun almost went crazy. She refused to take a step out of the ward. At this moment, Lei Yi received a call. Then, he came to Li Yans side and whispered something. Li Yans lips curled up coldly. Since everything hase together, lets make her face reality! Then, the two of them walked into the ward and saw Yu Tingyun. They took out the document and waved it in front of Yu Tingyun. Yu Tingyun, yourpany has been convicted of tax evasion. Due to the huge amount of money involved, it is suspected of breaking thew. We will officially deal with this matter. Yu Tingyuns face turned as pale as a sheet. All her resistance disappeared. She opened her eyes wide in despair and fell limply to the ground. It was over! Everything was over! Yu Tingyun was taken away by the police, and Qiao Ya was also taken away for questioning. The ward was quiet all of a sudden. Qiao Mus heart ached as she looked at Qiao Jiannan on the hospital bed. What did Yu Tingyun do to him? If he woke up and had to face so many things that he couldnt ept, would his body be unable to take such a huge blow? Li Yan looked at the petite womans thin figure and held her hand. Ill get the nurse to take care of him. Ill do everything I can to wake him up soon. Dont worry. Qiao Mu nodded. Her nose felt sour, and she had the urge to cry. She held it in and wanted to thank him, but she remembered that he had said that she did not need to thank him. In the end, she did not say it. Deep down, she knew how good he was to her! Fortunately, he was here at this moment! After the matter came to an end, Zhou Jieru also took advantage of the chaos to leave. Qiao Mu didnt know whether she should be d that she didnt have such a heartless mother or sad that she had be an orphan. From now on, she would not even have a father! How was she going to face Qiao Jiannan when he woke up? Chapter 418 - 418: Qjao Mu, Get Better Quickly Chapter 418: Qjao Mu, Get Better Quickly Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu had been in low spirits ever since she returned from the hospital. The events that happened one after another were too much of a blow to her. Then, she fell sick uncontrobly. She had a fever overnight and was delirious. She was admitted to the hospital. After a series of tests and blood transfusions, her fever finally subsided. In the ward, Yu Yiduo looked at the unconscious Qiao Mu with heartache. Its not easy for this child. So many things have happened recently. No matter who it is, its hard for them to digest it. Its really heartbreaking. Sighing, Yu Yiduo looked at Li Yan and warned, Son, you have to treat Mumu well. Dont think that Mumu doesnt have parents who love her, so you can bully her! If you dont treat her well, Ill be the first to not let you off! Mom, you dont have to say that. If he didnt treat her well, he wouldnt let her off either! Yu Yiduo snorted. I know. You can treat your mother badly, but you cant treat your woman badly! Im so jealous! Mom! Li Yan said helplessly. Alright, alright. I know you love your mother. Im just joking with you. I wont be jealous! Mom, you have Dad who treats you well. Do you still need to be jealous of your daughter-inw? Thats true! Wives are meant to be doted on, and mothers are doted on by fathers. I cant even digest how good your father is to me. Im not here to fight with my daughter-inw anymore. Yu Yiduo stood up and patted Li Yans shoulder. Take good care of Mumu. Ill be leaving first. Ill visit Mumu another day. After Yu Yiduo left, the ward became quiet. Li Yan sat by the bed and looked at Qiao Mus haggard face with a deep gaze. He reached out to gently touch her forehead and tucked the stray strands of hair behind her ears. His voice was deep and filled with suppressed emotions. Qiao Mu, get well quickly. Everything is in the past. The happy days have just begun. If you continue to waste your time in the hospital and make me worry about leaving you, Ill make you pay for my losses ten times over after Im discharged. Mumu, do you know that when you were sick, I felt worse than you? reaction. She sighed and thought to herself,l must teach her a lesson when she recovers. That way, she wont dare to fall sick again! In her dreams, Qiao Mu vaguely heard the mans voice beside her ear. The voice was low and deep, and it drifted past her ears, sounding so unreal. In his memory, Li Yan had always been calm and collected. He had never felt so helpless before. Qiao Mu felt a warmth on her lips, and it tickled lightly like a feather brushing past. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the handsome face in front of her. She blinked and did not react. His mind went nk. Was this the scene of a prince waking up a sleeping beauty with a kiss? Qiao Mu opened her eyes when she was caught off guard. Li Yan was caught off guard, so he moved away from her lips. His tightly knitted brows instantly rxed, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Youre awake? Qiao Mu opened her mouth and said, Big brother Li Yan narrowed his eyes as a glint shed across his eyes. She called him big brother? This familiar name almost melted his heart. Perhaps it was because she had rested for too long, her big eyes were clear and bright. When she looked at him now, she could almost see everything with a clean nce. In addition, her innocent look was exactly the same as when she was young. Li Yan was momentarily dazed, as if he had seen Qiao Mu when she was young.. Chapter 419 - 419: Memory Loss? Chapter 419: Memory Loss? Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans thin lips moved. What did you call me? Big brother. Qiao Mu called out once again, and her mouth curved into a grin. Her eyes narrowed into crescents, looking clean and pure. This little thing! All this while, he had asked her to change the way she addressed him countless times, but she stubbornly refused to call him Big Brother. Later, he understood that it was because she had misunderstood that he had left her behind, so she felt that he was no longer worthy of this title. And now, this little woman was willing to call him that! Li Yan smiled and patted her head. Good girl. Qiao Mu wrapped her arms around Li Yans neck. Big Brother, where are we? Why am I here? Youre sick. Youre in the hospital. Hospital? Qiao Mu frowned. Im sick? Why am I in the hospital? Why cant I remember? Eh, my mind is empty, I cant remember anything. Li Yan was still enjoying the little womans coquettishness. His voice was soft and sweet. It was rare for him to be so obedient. Suddenly, he heard her say this and was stunned. You dont remember? Qiao Mu frowned slightly and nodded. My mind is in a mess. I feel like I cant remember a lot of things. Big Brother, whats wrong with me? Looking at Qiao Mus expression, Li Yan felt a headacheing on. You know who I am? What else? Youre my big brother! My name? Big brother! Li Yans expression turned serious. Qiao Mu, dont joke with me! Big brother, whats wrong? Did I say something wrong? Did I make you angry? Qiao Mu was extremely innocent. Li Yan stared at her face. Although Qiao Mu would usually act coquettishly in front of him, she would never put on such a harmless expression. She looked more like a pure piece of white paper when she was young. Li Yan frowned. You really dont remember anything? Qiao Mu nodded, then shook her head. I remember you. Youre my big brother! Li Yan touched Qiao Mus forehead. Did you lose your memory or did you burn your brain? She only had a high fever of less than 39 degrees Celsius. Although she was unconscious due to some other symptoms, the medication was timely, so it was impossible for her brain to be damaged! So, this woman was acting with him? However, if it was really an act, it was too convincing. Li Yan pressed the emergency bell and sat at the side. His voice was deep and carried a trace of powerlessness. Qiao Mu, if I find out that youre teasing me, Ill go back and teach you a lesson. Ill make you learn your lesson! Qiao Mus body instantly stiffened when she finished speaking, but she quickly returned to normal. She blinked her eyes in confusion. Big Brother, why are you lecturing me? By the way, whats our rtionship? You dont know what our rtionship is, and you call me big brother? I dont know why either. My consciousness told me that I should call you that. Qiao Mu continued to ask, What exactly am I to you? Lovers. Li Yan said calmly. Qiao Mus eyes lit up. I actually have a lover as handsome as Big Brother? Im so blessed! Is that so? Li Yans lips curled up. Have you forgotten that Im already married? Qiao Mus expression stiffened, and the corners of her lips twitched. Youre married, so why are you still dating me? Li Yan caressed Qiao Mus face and said gently, Little thing, it seems like you really dont remember that youre my little lover outside of marriage.. Chapter 420 - 420: I Want To Be Quiet Chapter 420: I Want To Be Quiet Trantor: 549690339 An extramarital lover Qiao Mu was stunned. The corners of the mans lips curled into a devilish smile, but his tone was unprecedentedly gentle! He could actually be so gentle! How could he say so gently that she was his extramarital lover? Qiao Muughed dryly. This identity is really unexpected. Big brother must be joking with me. I definitely wont be someone elses lover. My character shouldnt be that bad, right? You dont remember everything, so how can you remember what kind of person you are? But my subconscious tells me that its not true. I wont be with a married man. Thats because you love me too much. Qiao Mu pouted and opened her arms to hug Li Yans neck again. Her voice sounded pitiful as she said, Big Brother, tell me that all of this isnt real. Are you ying with me? I know big brother is a very, very good person. He wont treat me like this. Be good, I have a lot of helplessness too. F * ck! Helpless your sister! It seemed that his disguise had been exposed! Fortunately, she didnt really forget everything. If she really lost her memory, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood when she heard his words! This was too much! Qiao Mu unhappily turned her face to the side and flipped over with her back facing the man. Her voice was filled with sadness and disappointment. I want to be alone. Who is Jing Jing? Qiao Mu almost couldnt hold back herughter. When did this man be so funny? Was her brain damaged, or was his brain damaged? Qiao Mu stole a nce at the man behind her and saw that he was sitting there calmly and looking at her with extreme patience. Was he not worried that something was wrong with her body? Humph! When she woke up from her illness, not only did he not take the opportunity to confess his love for her, but he also said something nice to make her happy. Instead, he actually said such words to provoke him! After a while, Qiao Mu angrily turned around and red at the man. I think my brain must have been fried before that I liked you. Dont even think about making me your little lover. I dont like you anymore! Li Yan narrowed his eyes. When he heard the words I dont like you anymore , a hint of displeasure shed past his eyes. However, he quickly said calmly, lf you dont like me now, youre the one whose brain is fried. Qiao Mu couldnt hold it in and blurted out angrily, Li Yan, youve gone too far! After she shouted, Qiao Mu saw the corners of the mans lips curl up slightly. He leaned over, scooped her up, and pulled her into his embrace. If you didnt lose your memory, how do you still know my name? You must have bullied me often, so when I was angry, I blurted out this name. Qiao Mu pouted. She didnt feel embarrassed even though her disguise was seen through. Li Yans expression darkened instantly- He looked fierce- Yom little thing. youre acting crazy the moment you wake up. Are you trying to scare me to death? Qiao Mu looked at the man and gently tugged at the corner of his shirt. Uncle, I was just joking with you. I just wanted to tease you. Dont be so serious! Li Yans expression did not improve. What did I say to you just now? If you lie to me, Ill go back and beat you up! Im a patient. You want to use violence on me? Ill beat you up when youre discharged from the hospital and recover! This man was obviously serious! Qiao Mus body stiffened and she chuckled. She leaned into his embrace and said in a soft voice, Uncle, I saw that you were too bored by guarding me, so I wanted to make you happy. Besides, even if I lost my memory, I wouldnt remember anything.. I only remember you, so you should be happy! Chapter 421 - 421: You Need A Teaching! Chapter 421: You Need A Teaching! Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans face was cold. Ill only be happy if I teach you a lesson! This little thing, did she know that she had really frightened him just now? How dare she pretend to be sick? Did she not know that he would be worried about her? However, although his actions were quite infuriating, calling him big brother just now sounded very pleasant. Qiao Mu bit her lip and innocently hooked her arms around his neck, calling out sweetly, Big brother, dont be angry with me, okay? Li Yans body froze. Although he could tell that she was acting coquettishly to him on purpose, he could not help but be provoked by her. Was she certain that he wouldnt get angry at her? Li Yan suddenly felt a sense of defeat. Looking at her pale face, he could not bear to be angry with her. He held her face in his hands and kissed her on the lips. Oh Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes and nudged him. Im still sick! However, resistance was futile. The man seemed to want to punish her in this way, kissing her passionately. At this moment, the doctor rushed over. She pushed open the door and saw the two of them hugging each other on the hospital bed. They treated the hospital as their own bedroom! The doctor coughed awkwardly, and Qiao Mus eyes widened abruptly. She pushed Li Yan away with a red face. It was so embarrassing to be watched while kissing! However,pared to Qiao Mus shyness, Li Yan appeared nonchnt. His expression was indifferent, as if he had been seen drinking a ss of water just now. He was calm andposed. He stood up and looked at the doctor. Come in for a checkup. Li Yan was cool and arrogant. It was obvious that he was still angry! Qiao Mu secretly pursed her lips. He was really petty to the extreme. She hadnt even bothered with him, yet he said that she was his little lover or something. The hospital did a series of checkups and asked Qiao Mu if she was feeling unwell. Qiao Mu groaned. Doctor, my throat hurts. This is normal. Drink more water and take anti-inmmatory medicine. Youll recover soon. Then, Qiao Mu pressed her hands on her chest. Doctor, my heart hurts. Whats going on? The doctor looked at the report. Heartache? There are no other symptoms in your body. Do you have any specific feelings? Also I feel dizzy and ufortable. Maybe its because you slept for too long. You just need to walk a little. Then my stomach doesnt feel well either. Maybe Im hungry My wrist hurts from the injection. Aiya, why do I feel ufortable everywhere? Doctor, whats wrong with me? Is there a problem somewhere? Qiao Mu kept looking for trouble. As she spoke, she nced at the man who was calmly standing at the side. He even had a serious expression on his face. Couldnt he show some concern for her? She did not believe that he could remain indifferent! Qiao Mu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the man behind her suddenly spoke up. Doctor, shes not feeling well all over. Shell be fine after an injection. Qiao Mu initially thought that the man was concerned about her, and the trace of anticipation she had initially harbored immediately turned into anger when she heard his words! He was ruthless! Li Yan saw that the little thing was not looking for trouble anymore. He lowered his eyes and looked at her, raising his eyebrows. You dont feel ufortable anymore? Im so angry at you that I feel like my blood is flowing smoothly! Be good. Li Yan patted her head. Your illness is easy to treat. You just need to be taught a lesson! Qiao Mu was speechless. This man was not giving her any face in front of the doctors and nurses! Chapter 422 - 422: I Need Care Chapter 422: I Need Care Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus face turned red from anger. After the doctor left, she sat up angrily and poked his chest with her finger. Tell me, why are you so petty? You cant even take a joke. If you continue to re at me fiercely, Ill cry for you! Then go ahead and cry. Qiao Mu gritted her teeth, and her expression suddenly changed. She clutched her chest with both hands. Uncle, I feel terrible here. Li Yans eyes darkened. If you continue to pretend, Ill teach you a double lesson when we get home! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and stared at him pitifully. Uncle, Im really not feeling well. Im really ufortable. Im not joking with you. Whats wrong? Li Yan frowned, but he could not help but go forward and hug her. Qiao Mu took the opportunity to lean against his chest. My illness is easy to treat. Take care of me a little more, be gentle and considerate to me, and give me more care. Then I wont feel so bad anymore. Qiao Mu! Qiao Mu shrunk her head and didnt dare to continue ying. Alright, Uncle, letS stop roonng arouna. rm starvmg. LetS eat nrst, 0Kayc Li Yan sighed helplessly. He really wanted to beat her up so that she would not dare to joke around with him like this in the future. However, looking at the little things mischievous appearance, how could he bear to continue being fierce to her? After Qiao Mu ate and drank her fill, she felt much better. She leaned against the bed and looked at Li Yan. Uncle, how is my father? After she finished speaking, her small face immediately darkened a little. She tugged at the corners of her mouth. I almost forgot. Hes no longer my father. In fact, given her current situation, she might as wellpletely lose her memory and forget all her troubles. She only needed to remember Li Yan! Li Yan rubbed her head and said in a deep voice, Even if youre no longer rted by blood, weve still been friends for so many years. I believe that hell still treat you like his daughter when he finds out the truth. Qiao Mu nodded when she heard the mansforting words. Li Yan continued, Hes receiving rehabilitation treatment. The doctor said that his condition is still optimistic. Theres a high chance that hell wake up. Dont worry, hell get better. What about Yu Tingyun? Qiao Yas statement states that she was indeed the one who stole the medicine when Qiao Jiannans high blood pressure acted up, causing his condition to worsen. However, she refused to admit that she harmed himter. However, she evaded a huge amount of taxes and was sentenced to four years in prison. Qiao Mu furrowed her brows. Shes still not pleading guilty at this point? Uncle, dont you have evidence? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. You mean the surveince cameras? I used it to trick her and make her panic. However, this womans desire to survive is too strong. She just wont take the bait. I see. But its okay, Uncle. When my father wakes up, everything will be clear! So, what you have to do now is to take care of your body! Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. On the second day after Qiao Mu woke up, Yu Yiduo rushed over in a hurry, carrying an insted lunch box and delicious food. Yu Yiduo held up the thermos container proudly. Mu Mu, I made this soup for you personally. Its delicious. Drink it while its hot. Li Yan nced at her indifferently. Mom, are you sure that her condition wont worsen if she drinks the soup that you made yourself? Qiao Mu was speechless. Uncle, can you not be so direct? Youll hurt me! [Theres an update today. Later..] Chapter 423 - 423: Never Touched Before Chapter 423: Never Touched Before Trantor: 549690339 As expected, Yu Yiduo felt embarrassed and the smile on her face froze. Qiao Mu hurriedly said, Auntie, Im really touched that youre able to cook for me personally. I believe that Aunties culinary skills are not as bad as what Little Uncle said! When Yu Yiduo heard this, she happily went over and pinched Qiao Mus cheeks. Mumu is still the best at talking, unlike my wooden son. He speaks as if he has gunpowder in his mouth and isnt likable at all. Only someone with Mumus good temper can tolerate him! Good temper Qiao Mu felt extremely guilty after being praised. As Yu Yiduo spoke, she opened the lunchbox and scooped out a bowl of soup for Qiao Mu. Here, drink it while its hot. Look at how skinny you are. Its good to nourish your body. Qiao Mu nced at Li Yan. From his words, it was obvious that she did not know how to cook. Then, was this soup really drinkable? Li Yan sat at the side, looking as if he was not going to get involved. He wanted her to settle it herself. Seeing Yu Yiduos enthusiasm, Qiao Mu could only ept it and bite the bullet to take a small bite. After all, this was her intention. After tasting it, he was stunned. He took another big gulp and looked at Li Yan in surprise. Its so delicious! Yu Yiduos eyes lit up. Right, right? Then drink more! Actually, dont think that I dont do much housework, but Im very virtuous! Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. Then, she heard Li Zheng, who was sitting on the sofa behind Yu Yiduo, slowly say, How can it not taste good if its made by the chef at home? Qiao Mu was speechless. Yu Yiduo was speechless. So, it wasnt made by Great Aunt herself! Yu Yiduo red at Li Zheng angrily. Will you die if you shut your mouth? I just want to show off in front of my daughter-inw and show off how virtuous I am as a mother-inw. Why are you humiliating me? The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. She really wanted to say, Great aunt, you really dont have to do this. Actually, were about the same. However, calling her daughter-inw sounded so awkward! They hadnt even married yet. Wasnt calling her daughter-inw a little too casual? What are you showing off for? Li Zheng said lightly. Shes not going to live with you in the future. If you want to show off your virtue, why dont you do it in front of me? Im happy to. Youre even jealous of your daughter-inw As Yu Yiduo was speaking, Li Yan interrupted her, Dad, Mom, if you want to fight, go home and fight. Dont disturb Mumus rest. Qiao Mu braced herself and finished the soup amidst the family of threes bickering. The warm soup warmed her heart. That was great! No matter what happened, she was not alone! Qiao Mu was still a little unustomed to this rare warmth. She had lost this habit ever since she was young, so it felt surreal to her at this moment. Yu Yiduo sat by the bed and held Qiao Murs hand, patting it gently. Mumu, although a lot of things have happened all of a sudden and you cant get used to it in a short time, you can vent your frustrations on me. Just treat me like your mother. From now on, Ill give you all the maternal love youve lost. Ill definitely not lose to Li Yan! Qiao Mus nose turned sour, and she had the urge to cry. Yu Yiduo continued, From now on, you are my daughter. I am your mother. I will never let you suffer any more grievances! The emotions in Qiao Mus heart were piling up like mountains and seas, making her feel touched like she had never felt before. She thought that she had really profited. Not only did she find a man like Li Yan who treated her well, but she also met a mother like Yu Yiduo.. Chapter 424 - 424: Happiness Is So Unreal Chapter 424: Happiness Is So Unreal Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu had always thought that her fate was especially terrible. From her birth to her growth, other than the three years when she met Li Yan, there was almost nothing worth remembering. She now understood that all the pain and hardship she had experienced in the past was to prepare her for the moment of happiness. Qiao Mu didnt know what to say. She opened her mouth, but all she could say was a word of thanks.Auntie, thank you. Silly child, why are you thanking me? Also, dont call me auntie. Its too distant. Just call me mom and treat yourself as my daughter! As soon as Yu Yiduo finished speaking, Li Zheng ridiculed her again, This is a mess. Did you acknowledge a sister for Li Yan? You want your daughter to marry your son? The originally emotional scene waspletely changed by Li Zhengs words. Yu Yiduo red at him. Can you shut up? Cant you see that Im trying to bond with Mu Mu? Qiao Mu was originally so touched that she was about to cry, but the scene changed at this moment, and she didnt know whether tough or cry. This family was really a living treasure. Although Li Zheng looked like Li Yan, who was cold and distant, he was really spoiled and spoiled in front of Yu Yiduo. He was already in his forties or fifties, but he still quarreled with her from time to time. At this moment, Li Yan had already stood up. You can leave now. If you stay any longer, the hospitals security guards will chase you away. Yu Yiduo was very unhappy. Son, youre disturbing me and my precious daughter! The words precious daughter made Li Yan frown. She was still calling him her daughter-inw just now, and now she was his daughter? Li Yan insisted on chasing her away. Yu Yiduo snorted and held Qiao Mus hand reluctantly. Good daughter, take good care of your body. Ille back tomorrow to bring you some soup of love. Feel free to call me if you want to eat anything. Qiao Mu couldnt help but nod, and then Li Zheng dragged Yu Yiduo out. When he reached the door, Li Zheng paused in his steps and looked at Qiao Mu. Ive already contacted a senior doctor from the United States to examine Qiao Jiannan. Theres no problem with him waking up. Hurry up and recuperate. If youre sick all day, Li Yan will have an excuse not to go to work to apany you, and Ill have to work at thepany all day! After Li Zheng finished speaking, he dragged Yu Yiduo away. Outside the ward, Yu Yiduos voice sounded, Whats with your impatient tone? Youre obviously concerned about Mumu. If Mumu doesnt have a nerve, hell think that you have a big opinion of him! There are already many opinions! Qiao Mu stared nkly at the door, feeling overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. Although Li Zhengs tone was not good, she knew that he was concerned about her! Moreover, he was willing to help Qiao Jiannan! He clearly had so many opinions about Qiao Jiannan, almost treating him as a former love rival, yet he was willing to make such a concession for her. Qiao Mu knew that Li Zheng had already epted her! Oiao Mu was suddenlv so touched that she didnt know what to do. She looked at the man beside her and threw herself into his embrace. Uncle, I want to cry. Li Yans attention had always been on Qiao Mu, so how could he not know why she was acting like this? He sighed helplessly and patted her gently. You werent this touched when I treated you well. Qiao Mu snorted. How could they be the same?! At this moment, she was too happy. She was so happy that it was unreal! [10 updates, more updates] Chapter 425 - 425: 999 Roses Chapter 425: 999 Roses Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus days in the hospital were simply too blissful. Every day, other than when she was having her checkups and taking her medicine, she was treated very well. Sometimes, it was quite boring. For example, at this moment, Li Yan was busy reading documents and ignoring him. Qiao Mu was ying games on her phone when she heard a knock on the door. She turned around and saw Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi walking into the ward. Lu Jingzhi looked at Li Yan who was working at the side and smiled. Franklin, are you treating the hospital as apany? When I saw Uncle Li, he was very dissatisfied. He said that you didnt do your job properly because of a woman. Lu Jingzhi took the opportunity to make fun of her. Look at Qiao Mus treatment. She had really ascended to the heavens in a single bound. Li Yan looked up and put down the documents in his hands. What are you guys doing here? Su Chen smiled faintly and nced at Qiao Mu. Were here to visit. Big Brother, you dont seem to wee us. Qiao Mu sat up and looked at the two of them who were empty-handed. Youre visiting empty-handed? Where is the sincerity? Lu Jingzhi smiled. We wouldnt dare toe empty-handed. Well be there soon. As they spoke, two people carried fruit baskets and flowers into the ward. When Qiao Mu saw that huge bouquet of roses, she could not even hold it with one hand. Most importantly, why were they red roses? Red roses are needed for a visit? When the roses appeared, Li Yans eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up. Who prepared this? Why is it so sincere? Sincerity was in quote marks! Obviously, Li Yans tone was sinister. How dare he give his little woman red roses? Su Chen spoke before Lu Jingzhi could, The fruit basket is mine. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. F * ck! He was the one who had prepared both of them, alright? After the two of them decided to visit the patient, Su Chen had told him to prepare the things for the visit. The two of them couldnt possibly take the same thing, right? Therefore, Lu Jingzhi asked his assistant to prepare a fruit basket and a bouquet of flowers. Of course, he did not specify what kind of flowers he was going to prepare or what kind of patients he was going to see. Wasnt this giving him trouble? Lu Jingzhi could clearly feel that Li Yans gaze was not very friendly. It was as if someone wanted to snatch his woman! Lu Jingzhi was very innocent. He coughed lightly and said, Well, the assistant took the wrong flowers. I was going to give them to someone else. Ill take them away now. Wait a minute. Qiao Mu hurriedly stopped him and smiled. Since youve already brought it here, dont take it away. Itll show how insincere you are. Put it down, I quite like it. I quite like it The corners of Lu Jingzhis mouth twitched. Qiao Mus words made Young Master Lis expression darken even more. Qiao Mu had never received roses before, and they were bright red and especially gorgeous. It would be a waste not to have them. She looked at Li Yans expression. Eh, why did he not look too good? Before Qiao Mu could think deeply, a voice sounded from outside the door. Yo, who are you giving such a big bouquet of roses to? It was Baby Guan and Chi Xia. Those mocking words naturally came from Baby Guan. Guan Baobei was standing outside the ward when she heard Lu Jingzhi say that he had taken the wrong flowers and that he was going to give them to someone else.. She immediately cursed this yboy in her heart! Chapter 426 - 426: Someone’s Contribution Chapter 426 - 426: Someones Contribution Trantor: 549690339 When Lu Jingzhi saw who it was, he frowned. Why are you here? If you cane, why cant I? Im here to see Mumu! Baby Guan took a step forward and walked in front of Lu Jingzhi. Move aside, I want to go over. The room was so spacious, yet she stood in front of Lu Jingzhi and waited for him to make way. It was obvious that she was looking for trouble. Lu Jingzhi endured it. He did not want to argue with this barbaric woman! Chi Xia followed Baby Guan into the ward helplessly. Suddenly, she felt a cold gaze on her. She turned her head and met Su Chens gaze. She froze. Why was the world so small? She could see this man everywhere! Since she had met him, Chi Xia could only smile politely at Su Chen and greet him. However, the moment she smiled, the man looked away. He was simply not giving her any face! Qiao Mu looked at Su Chen and Chi Xias indifference, then at Lu Jingzhi and Baby Guans argument, and felt a little helpless. Chi Xia walked to the bedside and sat down. She asked about Qiao Mus condition, and Qiao Mu smiled. Im fine now. Ill stay in the hospital for a checkup for two days, and then Ill be discharged. Ill be able to go back to school then! Its good to see that youre fine. I thought you would be very depressed. I didnt expect you to recover so well. Looks like its someones credit. Chi Xia nced at Li Yan. Qiao Mu curled her lips. Yeah, its all thanks to him. Look at how happy you are. Your appearance makes me full of hope for love Before Chi Xia could finish her sentence, Baby Guan patted Chi Xias shoulder. Xiaxia, weve met the wrong person, but dont be discouraged. Youll meet the right person soon. The whole room was filled with people. Chi Xia felt awkward. If you want to feel sorry for me, dont drag me into it. Whats there to be embarrassed about? Isnt it just a breakup? Baby Guan did not think much of it. Su Chen stood up and said, Big brother, its too noisy here. Ill be leaving first. Lu Jingzhi followed closely behind. Im leaving too. He stopped in his tracks and looked at Baby Guan. Its on the way. Do you need me to send you? No need! Whats our rtionship? Why do I need you to send me off? Chi Xia looked at Baby Guan and said, Baby, you go first. Im going to the supermarket nearby to buy something. I wont be going back with you. Baby Guan stood up. Alright, Ill be leaving first. I have a ride. Its a waste not to take it. Qiao Mu and Chi Xia looked at each other. They could tell what Baby Guan was thinking at a nce. After Baby Guan left, Chi Xia did not stay and left the hospital. The sky was gloomy and there was a faint sound of thunder. It seemed like it was going to rain. Chi Xia walked quickly to the bus stop. Suddenly, raindrops fell without warning. By the time she reached the bus stop, her thin clothes were already wet, and her body was wet and cold. Her phone rang. She stared at the bus, took out her phone, and opened the message. Xiaxia, the weather forecast says its going to rain in Beijing today. Remember to bring an umbre when you go out. Staring at the text on the screen, Chi Xia held her phone tightly and was in a daze for a while. Gu Cheng had been contacting her recently. He called her, but she didnt pick up and blocked him. Instead, he changed his number to send her messages. He was like a virus, barging into her life and interfering with everything she did at all times! Chi Xia thought that she had already let it go, but at that moment, she was feeling unusually depressed, perhaps because of the weather. The rain was getting heavier. Chi Xia crossed her arms in front of her chest. Suddenly, a ck car stopped right in front of her. [Ive added two chapters. Ill continue to add more tomorrow.. Wheres your support?] Chapter 427 - 427: Was He Appreciating Her Awkward State? Chapter 427 - 427: Was He Appreciating Her Awkward State? Trantor: 549690339 The car window rolled down and Chi Xia was stunned to see the man in the car. The person in the car was Su Chen! The mans gaze fell on her. He sat in the car that sheltered him from the wind and rain and looked down at her from above. It was as if he was watching her make a fool of herself, and it instantly made her unable to hide her embarrassment. This man saw her in such a sorry state and deliberately stopped the car to admire her? At this moment, the man in the car said coldly, Get in the car. Chi Xia widened her eyes in shock. He wanted her to get in the car? Just as she thought she was hallucinating, the mans voice sounded again. Do you want to stay here in the rain? Chi Xia suddenly realized that he had indeed asked her to get into the car. Didnt this man say that she was not to appear in front of him? Why was he so kind as to send her off now? Su Chen looked at the confused woman outside the car impatiently. He drove out of the hospitals parking lot and stopped at the intersection. Then, he saw a slender figure running quickly to the bus stop. She was drenched by the rain. She hugged her arms and hung her head. She looked very sorry. She looked like a puppy that wanted to be abandoned by the roadside. For a moment, he actually felt that this woman was quite pitiful. It was rare for him to be so kind and wanted to send her off, but this womans reaction was so slow. Seeing that the woman had no reaction, Su Chen started the car impatiently. If you want to get wet in the rain, then continue! Sigh Wait! Chi Xia finally reacted. She quickly stepped forward and opened the car door. In Baby Guans words, if there was a free ride, it would be a waste not to take it! However, when she stepped into the car, she saw the stains left by her wet shoes on the clean floor mat. She immediately felt very embarrassed. Her body was wet, and his car was clean and shiny. She felt like a clown. She was really embarrassed to sit in his car and dirty it. Su Chens gaze fell on Chi Xias foot and he frowned. Chi Xia could tell that the man was very impatient. She braced herself and got into the car. As soon as she closed the door, the car flew out. Where to? After Chi Xia told him the address of the school, there was no more movement in the car. The man drove quietly,pletely treating her like air. Actually, Chi Xia was a little ttered that this man would send her home. Thinking of her drunken mistake, he said in a low voice,Mr. Smith, Im really sorry about that time when I was drunk. Please dont hold it against me. Su Chens expression changed when he heard that. He turned to look at Chi Xia. Do you want me to throw you out of the car? Chi Xia was speechless. The mans expression was cold to begin with. When this matter was brought up, it was especially ugly. Chi Xia really could not remember how badly she had vomited that night to make this man so disgusted. In the car, the air-conditioning was turned on. Chi Xia was drenched and the cold air blew on her body, causing her to shiver. Suddenly, her phone rang. Chi Xia took out her phone, saw the caller ID, and hung up. However, the other party did not give up and continued to call. This time, it attracted the attention of the man beside him. Chi Xia couldnt take it anymore. She picked up the call and asked in a low voice, What exactly do you want? Xiaxia, dont treat me like that Gu Cheng, please understand that we have nothing to do with each other anymore.. Please dont disturb me again! Chapter 428 - 428: Is There Something Missing in Your Brain? Chapter 428 - 428: Is There Something Missing in Your Brain? Trantor: 549690339 Xiaxia, you cant forget me. I Imow you still love me, and so do I. Im trying my best to solve my familys problems. Give me some time. Chi Xia took a deep breath. Im sorry, I already have a boyfriend. Your matter has nothing to do with me! How is that possible? Youre lying to me, right? Xiaxia, Im going back to China. Can we meet and talk? He wanted to return to the countryWhat did his return have to do with her? He had his fiance, yet he still wanted to pester her? How selfish was this person? Chi Xia gripped her phone tightly and said coldly, My boyfriend is right next to me. Its up to you whether you believe me or not. Please donte and affect our rtionship! The person on the other end of the phone was still talking when Chi Xias hand that was holding the phone was empty. The phone was taken away. She looked up in shock and saw Su Chen cing the phone to his ear and speaking coldly into the phone, Who are you? After hearing Su Chens words, the other end of the phone fell silent. Su Chen sneered, You dont even have the courage to talk to me. Dont call me again! After saying that, he hung up the call. Chi Xia was stunned when she saw Su Chen answering the call for her. She snapped out of her daze and snatched the phone away. Why are you interfering in my business? Su Chens cold gaze swept over. I helped you get rid of your entanglement, and youre still unwilling? You said that your boyfriend is right beside you. Is there someone else besides me? Chi Xia choked and admitted that she was in the wrong. She gritted her teeth and didnt say anything. She lowered her head and became depressed. Yes, what she wanted was to cut ties with Gu Cheng! Su Chen looked at the woman who had lost her soul and narrowed his eyes. So, you got drunkst time because of this man? Its none of your business! You vomited all over me because you were drunk with another man. Its none of my business? It was as if the mention of this matter would remind him of the plot of that scene, and his eyes darkened. Chi Xia felt a little guilty and mumbled softly, lve already apologized many times. If you hold a grudge, why dont you spit it back? These words were as disgusting as they could get to Su Chen. He snorted coldly and was about to say something when he saw Chi Xia crossing her arms in front of her chest. Her clothes were thin, her lips were slightly pale, and her body was faintly trembling. He looked at the cold air blowing directly on her body and frowned. He raised his hand to turn off the cold air. Woman, is there something wrong with your brain? Cant you tell me if youre cold? You didnt open your mouth? Chi Xia was sitting in someone elses car and was too embarrassed to speak. When she heard Su Chens words, she was stunned. For a moment, her heart felt warm. The air conditioner was switched off. It was finally not that cold anymore. Chi Xia rxed. Mr. Su, thank you. There was no response to her words of thanks, and the car returned to silence. When the car arrived at the school dormitory area, the rain outside had already stopped. Chi Xia thanked him again and was about to get out of the car when Su Chen nced at the floor mat that Chi Xia had stepped on. Take it back and wash it before giving it to me. Chi Xia was speechless. Although Chi Xia knew that she was indeed a little dirty, she still felt embarrassed to be exposed by him. She thought for a moment. Mr. Su, why dont I give you some money and you can take it to dry cleaning? Im not short of money! Chi Xia could only ept her fate and take the floor mat away. She closed the door and the car sped away. Looking at the things in her hands, Chi Xia sighed. She really couldnt just take a free ride.

After she was discharged from the hospital, she went back to the Qiao familys house. Coincidentally, Qiao Ya was at home. When Qiao Ya saw Qiao Mu, she immediately threw the bag in her hand at Qiao Mu frantically. What are you doing here? Get lost! This is no longer your home! Qiao Mu, youre a bastard! Youre a liar! Youve been lying to my family for so many years! Now that youve ruined my family, youre a scourge! Qiao Mus expression turned cold. I came back to retrieve my things. Ill leave after I take them and wonte back again! What do you want? Everything here doesnt belong to you. Dont even think about taking anything away! Qiao Ya was already in a half-crazy state. Her mother was sentenced, her father was in aa in the hospital, and herpany was half-dead. She had always been a high and mighty heiress, but she had always lived under Yu Tingyuns protection. She didnt know what to do when she encountered such a change. Qiao Mu ignored her and went upstairs to her room to pack her things. She had nothing to take away. Just as Qiao Ya had said, everything here did not belong to her. She put the photo by the bedside into her bag, including a photo of her and Qiao Jiannan. Qiao Mu went downstairs and walked out of the house, with Qiao Ya rushing out behind her. Li Yan was waiting for Qiao Mu outside. When he saw here out, he quietly waited for her to walk over. Immediately after, Qiao Ya stormed out from behind him, and he strode forward. Qiao Mu, stop right there! What did you take? Dont even think about stealing our things! Qiao Ya shouted in exasperation. Qiao Ya had just finished shouting when she saw Li Yan walking over. His face turned pale and his legs went weak from fear. She lost control and pounced on him. Uncle, you cant treat my mother like this. Were family. You cant be instigated by that b * tch Qiao Mu! Li Yans expression was cold. He shook off Qiao Yas touch. Get lost! UncleYou cant treat us like this! Qiao Yas face contorted. She suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, Uncle, you dont know, but this Qiao Mu is very sinister. Not only did she seduce you, but she also had an ambiguous rtionship with Su Chen. Ive seen the two of them go on a private date to eat. This slut is really a slut to the bone. You must see her true colors! He wont even let go of the men around you. Who knows how many men hes with Qiao Ya kept calling him a slut, causing Li Yans face to darken. Without waiting for Qiao Ya to finish speaking, he kicked the other party away and mercilessly kicked Qiao Ya to the ground. Qiao Ya fell to the ground in a sorry state and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. What did she say wrong? Everything she said was true. Why did Li Yan refuse to believe her? What method did Qiao Mu use to make Li Yans soul turn upside down?! Li Yan narrowed his eyes coldly. If you dont want your tongue, just tell me. Ill settle it for you! Qiao Yas face instantly turned pale! Li Yans body carried a faint murderous aura, as if he wanted to tear Qiao Yas mouth apart! Qiao Mu stepped forward and held Li Yans hand. Uncle, forget it. Lets go. Li Yan retracted his gaze and looked at the little woman in front of him with a smile on her face. His anger was instantly suppressed as he held her hand and left. Qiao Ya looked at Li Yans transformation in disbelief. Her eyes were burning with madness as she gritted her teeth in hatred! This was unfair! Why did Qiao Mu end up in such a good state after destroying her home? Even the Yu Corporation that her mother had inherited had been snatched away by Li Yan. Now, the Qiao family was only an empty shell.. What should she do? Chapter 430 - 430: I Know You Don ‘t Love Me Anymore (2) Chapter 430: I Know You Don t Love Me Anymore (2) Trantor: 549690339 In the following period of time, Li Yan was especially busy. Yu Enterprise waspletely defeated by Yu Tingyun. Li Yan took advantage of the situation and obtained thergest share of the Yu Corporation. Yu Yiduo became the chairman of the Yu Corporation. After that, Yu Enterprise returned all the funds that Yu Tingyun had transferred from Qiao Enterprise, allowing Qiao Enterprise to tide over the difficulties for the time being. However, without Qiao Jiannans support, and with Qiao Ya who could not control the situation, Qiao Enterprise was in a very critical situation. At night, Qiao Mu stayed up all night waiting for Li Yan toe home. Recently, Li Yan had been leaving early and returningte, so she had not seen him for a few days and felt neglected. Looking at the time, it was already one oclock in the morning. She yawned. She had to go to school during the day and could not support herself at night. She had been waiting for Li Yan for the past few days, but in the end, she fell asleep unknowingly. She did not even know when Li Yan came back or when he left the next day. If the butler had not told her that Li Yan had left early in the morning, she would have thought that he had not returned for the entire night! Although she understood that he had been busy with the Yu Corporation recently, couldnt he wake her up when he returned home and saw that she was asleep? Qiao Mu unwillinglyid on the bed and almost fell asleep in a daze. She shook her head vigorously, trying to stay awake. The most painful thing in this world was to be woken up by an rm clock when you were sleeping soundly, and to be extremely sleepy and still hold back from staying awake. She took out her phone and sent a message to Li Yan.Uncle, Im going to take a nap first. Wake me up when Ie back. I have something to tell you. Actually, she just wanted to wait for him toe back and sleep with him. At this moment, on the top floor of the Li Corporation, Li Yan looked at the message sent by the little woman sote at night and sighed helplessly. Then, he looked at the pile of documents in front of him that he had to finish today and replied to her message, Be good and sleep early. I still have to go back in a while. Qiao Mu pursed her lips and stubbornly insisted. You must wake me up! Qiao Mu ced her phone aside and closed her eyes, falling asleep in an instant. Li Yan only came back at three in the morning. If he had been this busy in the past, he would have spent the night in thepanys lounge and continued working the next day. However, when she thought about how there was still a little woman waiting for him at home, how could she bear not toe back? Li Yan got on the bed and gently hugged her petite body in his arms. He did not wake her up and hugged her to sleep. When Qiao Mu woke up the next day, she was the only one left in the empty room. She looked at the obvious traces of someone sleeping beside her. She sat up angrily and he left without a word! This man was really too evil. After he came back, he hugged her to sleep and had an addiction, but she did not know anything and did not consider her at all! Qiao Mu took out her phone and sent a message. 1 know you dont love me anymore! A short while after the call was sent, her phone rang. Qiao Mus lips curled up slightly. Hmph, now you know fear, right? However, the caller wasnt the man he expected, but Yu Yiduo? Qiao Mu picked up the call and heard Yu Yiduos ambiguousughter. Mumu, 1 love you. How can Mommy not love you?! The expression on Qiao Mus face instantly froze. She picked up her phone and looked at it. It really seemed like she had hit a wall. She had sent the wrong message! He sent the message to Li Yan to Yu Yiduo! Oh my god, she really didnt do it on purpose! Chapter 431 - 431: I Know You Don’t Love Me Anymore (3) Chapter 431: I Know You Dont Love Me Anymore (3) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Muughed awkwardly. Haha, Auntie, Im just joking with you. I was ying Truth or Dare with my ssmate, and I wanted to send an ambiguous message to someone, so I thought of Auntie. Uh What a stiff reason. Why did she feel that the more she said, the worse it was? Is that so? ying games so early in the morning, Mu Mu, your life is pretty good! I heard that Li Yan has been so busy recently that he doesnt have time to apany you. I thought you would be unhappy, so I wanted to persuade him to spend more time with you. Since you have a rich life, I wont interfere in your matters. Qiao Mu was speechless. Great aunt, please intervene! Teach that insensible son of yours to treat me better! Although Qiao Mu was praying silently in her heart, she still had to pretend to be indifferent. Auntie, Uncle is busy, so its only right not to disturb him. Ill be obedient and sensible. Mu Mu is so obedient! Yu Yiduoughed. Alright, I know youre bored. When youre not in ss, can you take some time to go shopping with me? Okay, Auntie. I dont have any sses this afternoon. Then its decided! After hanging up the phone, Qiao Mu stared at the message and felt that she had lost all her face in front of Yu Yiduo! At the same time, Li Yan received a message on his phone. It was a screenshot sent by Yu Yiduo, followed by a message:Son, my daughter-inw sent the wrong message. I can feel that powerful resentment through the phone screen. You have tofort her! Li Yan looked at the screenshot and sighed helplessly. This little thing must be angry because she didnt wake her upst night. Li Yan picked up his phone and dialed the number. Soon, he heard azy and angry voice.Are you here to make fun of me? If you dare to say yes, Ill ignore you! She had just hung up on Yu Yiduo for a while when Li Yan called. Qiao Mu couldpletely guess that Yu Yiduo must have reported her. Li Yan chuckled and said in a good mood, No. Qiao Mu snorted. You still dare to say no? Youreughing at me! I wont be able to see you anyway. From today onwards, Ill move back to the dormitory and wont stay in the boudoir for nothing! Be good. Ill be done in the next few days. Ill make it up to youter. Qiao Mus eyes lit up. How are you going topensate me? Do whatever you want! Li Yan very generously handed over the authority to Qiao Mu. How could Qiao Mu be unhappy with such treatment? She immediately became excited. Alright, you said it yourself. Ill do whatever I want! In the afternoon, Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo went shopping. Yu Yiduo bought a lot of things in big and small bags. In a short while, Qiao Mu had several sets of clothes and essories. Auntie, I already have enough clothes, Qiao Mu couldnt help but say. Please dont buy me any more. Its okay. You dont have to be reluctant. I spent all of your uncles money. He doesnt have time to go shopping with you. Ill spend his money on his behalf, apany his woman, and help him love his woman. Qiao Mu was speechless. Can you stop mentioning that text message? Yu Yiduo said as she paid, Mu Mu, dont save money for men. If you save money, where will they have the motivation to make money? Whatever you want, just swipe your card! Qiao Mus lips twitched. What card? Where did she get a card? Yu Yiduo could tell that Qiao Mus expression was off, so she asked in surprise, Li Yan didnt give you a credit card, did he? Chapter 432 - 432: I Know You Don I t Love Me Anymore (4) Chapter 432: I Know You Don I t Love Me Anymore (4) Trantor: 549690339 Seeing Yu Yiduos surprised expression, Qiao Mu immediately said, Uncle gave me a shopping card, but I lost it. She did not lose it. She had returned it to Li Yan. Shopping card? Yu Yiduo seemed to have heard something unbelievable. She frowned. Why didnt I know that my son was so stingy? Whats the use of a shopping card? It cant be used as money. If his woman doesnt give him a proper credit card with unlimited spending, he still has the cheek to say that youre his woman. Poor Mu Mu, I feel unfair for you! Why dont you dump such an unreliable man as soon as possible? Be my daughter, and Ill find you a reliable one. Qiao Mu was speechless. Was this really Li Yans biological mother? Why did she look more like her biological mother? Then, Yu Yiduo ced the card in Qiao Mus hand. Here, this is from Mommy. Keep it well. Auntie, its useless for me to take this Listen to me. If you dont ept it, youre not giving me face. Such a good daughter-inw had to be suppressed with a ck gold card. That way, other men would not dare to approach her! Seeing Yu Yiduos serious expression, Qiao Mu had no choice but to ept it. After shopping with Yu Yiduo in the afternoon, Qiao Mu said, Auntie, you can go back first. I still have something to do. This ce wasnt far from Li Enterprise. Yu Yiduo saw through Qiao Mus thoughts with a nce and left with a smile. Qiao Mu went straight to the Li Corporation. Since Li Yan was not avable to see her, she would take the initiative to meet him! Downstairs, Qiao Mu gave Lei Yi a call, and he quickly came down to pick her up. After entering the elevator, Qiao Mu asked, Assistant Reiter, Uncle Is Li Yan particrly busy recently? Yes, there have been many things to do in thepany recently. In addition to the reorganization of the Yu Corporation and the overseas business, everything has piled up. The CEO has been working overtime until three in the morning every day. Hees to thepany at seven in the morning to continue handling things. Lei Yi exined in detail. Qiao Mu was stunned. He was actually going to be busy until three in the morning? No wonder she waited for him toe back every night after one oclock. When she was so sleepy, he was working hard! Not only that, he had already gotten up to continue working while she was sleeping soundly. He was busy untilte at night. Coupled with the journey back and forth, it would only take him three hours to get home and sleep! Qiao Mu felt upset. How desperate was this man? In the past, she had always seen him gloriously and arrogantly, as if he was always so bright and lived a prominent life that others could not envy. However, who could see him working so hard in private? The reason why he attacked Yu Group was mostly because of her. Although he was indeed not on good terms with Yu Tingyun and would have done it sooner orter, if he had not changed his mind at thest minute because of her, he would have found the easiest time to do it and would not have done it so hastily. In the past few days, all her dissatisfaction hadpletely disappeared. She only felt ashamed and heartache for that man. Lei Yi looked at Qiao Mus dim eyes and thought for a moment before continuing, ln the past, when the CEO was busy at a foreignpany, he would almost always finish his work and sleep directly in the office lounge, saving time on the road. These few days, no matter how busy he is, he has to rush back. Half of his rest time is wasted on the road. Qiao Mus heart tightened when she heard Lei Yis words. He went home every night, and she was the one waiting for him at home? Chapter 433 - 433: She Wanted to See Him Like Crazy Chapter 433: She Wanted to See Him Like Crazy Trantor: 549690339 He never woke her up because he did not want to disturb her sleep. This man was always thinking about her, but she was throwing a tantrum! At this moment, Qiao Mu wanted to see that man like crazy. The elevator door opened and she stepped out first. Then, someone called her name from behind. Qiao Mu? Qiao Mu turned around and saw Tang Jiajia. When she was in the design department, she only had a good rtionship with Tang Jiajia. Tang Jiajia smiled when she saw Qiao Mu. Its really you. Why are you here? I have something to do. As Qiao Mu spoke, Lei Yi came out of the elevator behind her. She saw Tang Jiajias expression of understanding. Tang Jiajia inched closer to Qiao Mu and whispered, I SO you came with Assistant Lei Te. Assistant Lei Te is so bold to bring your girlfriend to thepany. Its working hours now! Qiao Mus lips twitched. Alright, she had forgotten that Tang Jiajia still thought Lei Yi was her boyfriend. At this moment, Tang Jiajias expression changed, and she bowed her head respectfully behind Qiao Mu. Hello, President. Qiao Mu turned around and saw Li Yan walking toward the elevator. Although he went home every night, she had not seen him for a few days. At this moment, the man was just a few meters away from her. She could clearly size him up. That handsome face was still in high spirits. He was surrounded by people and still looked noble and extraordinary. However, he did not look too good. He had been workingte for many days, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that he slept less than four hours a day. Qiao Mu was upset. Suddenly, Tang Jiajia tugged at her from behind and said in a low voice, The president is meeting a client. Youre blocking the way! Qiao Mu reacted abruptly and immediately moved to the side. At this moment, the mans gaze swept over and seemed to have noticed her. He narrowed his eyes in disbelief, and after a quick nce, he shifted his gaze away nonchntly. Initially, Qiao Mu wanted to give him a surprise and go straight to his office to give him a fright. Unfortunately, he saw her just like that. Li Yan and the rest stopped in front of the elevator. The middle-aged woman standing beside him said, President Li, I hope we can work together next time. There will be a chance, President Shu. In two days, Mother will hold a banquet in the name of Yu Corporation. I will send someone to send the invitation to yourpany. I hope President Shu will attend. The other party smiled. I heard that the transformation of Yu Enterprise is all thanks to President Li. I naturally have to attend such a grand event. Only then did Qiao Mu turn her attention to the person beside Li Yan. This woman looked a little familiar, but she could not remember when she had seen her before. Qiao Mu asked Tang Jiajia softly, Who is this person? Its the CEO of Shu Enterprise, Shu Xinyu. She has a big business deal with ourpany. Tang Jiajia replied softly. Qiao Mu did not know much about the business world, and it was obvious that Shu Enterprise was not a smallpany. She could tell from Li Yans attitude toward her. The president of Shu Enterprise was another strong woman. Qiao Mu was sizing up the other party when Shu Xinyu suddenly turned to look at her. Qiao Mu was startled. It was somewhat impolite to retract her gaze at this moment, so she politely smiled and nodded at Shu Xinyu. The other partys expression was cold and he did not give any response. He turned to Li Yan and said, Then, President Li, Ill take my leave first.. Chapter 434 - 434: Uncle, Don’t Chase Me Away Chapter 434 - 434: Uncle, Dont Chase Me Away Trantor: 549690339 [The previous chapter identally repeated a chapter. The content has been modified. Those who have already purchased the chapter can read the new content without paying. If the content has not changed, delete the bookshelf and add it again.] Qiao Mu did not mind the other partys indifference. When Li Yan was sending off the client, she sneaked into his office. Seeing that there was no one around, she sneaked into Li Yans office and waited quietly for him to return. Qiao Mu stood by the door, her mood jubnt. Her youngest uncle was about to return. Suddenly, the office door opened from the outside. Qiao Mu couldnt wait for the man toe in, so she enthusiastically went to the door and pounced on him However, when she saw the person who opened the door clearly, she suddenly braked. However, it was still toote. Her body fell forward and she hit.. Lightning Wings! The person who opened the door was Lei Yi! Qiao Mus speed was too fast, and Lei Yi jumped in fright. Seeing that Qiao Mu was about to pounce on him, he hurriedly took a step back, wanting to dodge, but he still wasnt able to dodgepletely. As the two of them reacted at the same time, their bodies still touched a little. It was really just a little bit! Qiao Mu swiftly took a step back, and the lightning wings also swiftly retreated, thus avoiding this awkvvard situation. Li Yans face darkened when he saw this. Qiao Mu scratched her head awkwardly. I got the wrong person. I got the wrong person! Lei Yi felt his scalp go numb. Miss Qiao, its okay if youve got the wrong person. Can you consider my feelings? Li Yans gaze indifferently swept across Lei Yis chest, where Qiao Mu had just touched him. His gaze seemed to want to peel off ayer of his skin. Lei Yi was really innocent. Before Li Yan exploded, he quickly left the crime scene. Li Yan entered the office and closed the door. Qiao Mu chuckled at him and threw herself into his arms passionately again. She threw herself into Li Yans arms and hooked her arms around his neck. Uncle, are you surprised to see me? Li Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the little woman, enjoying her closeness. His expression was indifferent. Yes, I was indeed pleasantly surprised to see that scene just now! I didnt do it on purpose! Qiao Mus arm was hooked around his neck, and her body was practically hanging on his body. She rubbed against his chest and smelled the familiar scent on his body. Uncle, I havent seen you for a few days! When you see me, why dont you show some joy andfort me! Li Yan chuckled helplessly. He bent down and carried her in his arms. Then, he strode to the sofa and sat down. He hugged her in his arms. I can see you every night. Whats there to be happy about? Hmph, its not fair! To him, he could indeed hug her to sleep every night, but unfortunately, she could not feel it! Li curled her lips. Why are you looking for me at thepany? You missed me so much that you couldnt see me at night. Why did you have toe and see me during the day? Yes, uncle, I miss you! Qiao Mu burrowed into his embrace, not hiding her thoughts at all. Li Yans eyes darkened, and a hint of surprise shed across his eyes. He was just teasing her, but he did not expect her to admit it. This little thing was getting cuter and cuter! She was so cute that she wanted to eat her up! Qiao Mu thought of his busy schedule and immediately nudged him. Uncle, go ahead with your work. Dont worry about me. Ill watch you from the side and wont disturb your work. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Do you think I can still work if you look at me? Then what should we do? Youre not chasing me away, are you? Qiao Mus small face scrunched up. Without waiting for him to say anything, she tightened her grip on his arm and coquettishly negotiated, Uncle, just let me stay here. Dont chase me away.. Chapter 435 - 435: I Want to Stay With You Chapter 435 - 435: I Want to Stay With You Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan felt a warm feeling in his heart when he saw the little woman acting coquettishly to please him. All his fatigue was instantly swept away. This little thing was really getting more and more clingy. However, he enjoyed the feeling of being clung to by her. Her petite body squirmed in his embrace like a kitten, rubbing against him. Very quickly, the mes in his body were ignited. Li Yans body tensed up, but the little woman remained indifferent and continued to rub against him. She whined coquettishly,Uncle, I dont want to leave. I want to stay with you! Li Yans eyes narrowed. He could not suppress the fire burning in his body. He hooked one arm around her waist and pressed the back of her head with the other before fiercely kissing Qiao Mu on the lips. His body had been thirsty for a long time. He hadnt touched her since she was hospitalized! He apanied her all day in the hospital, but because she had not recovered, he had been holding it in and could noty his hands on her. After she was discharged from the hospital, he got busy and went home in the middle of the night. He could not bear to wake her up, so he could only endure IL. However, the little thing had actually delivered itself to his doorstep and ced it in front of his mouth for him to eat. How could he not eat it! Qiao Mu was a little dizzy from the kiss. His kiss was fiery and carried a hint of fanaticism. She hooked her arms around his neck and endured his demands. Suddenly, he felt arge hand reaching into his clothes. That scalding hand swept across and plundered, showing no signs of stopping. She suddenly opened her eyes and gently pushed him to stop him.Uncle, you cant! Hmm? The man narrowed his eyes, unable to hide his feelings. Qiao Mu red at him with a blushing face. You need to work. Im not here to disturb you. He was so tired and busy with work that he didnt even have time to sleep at night. If her appearance disturbed his normal work, wouldnt his workload at night increase again? I suddenly feel that a bnce between work and rest is more efficient. So, lets exercise now. Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu only felt her vision blur before she was carried by Li Yan and strode into the lounge in the inner room. Uncle, since you have time, hurry up and sleep. Your body will be ruined if you keep doing this! Tormented? Little thing, it seems that you have too little confidence in my body. Since you look down on me so much, I can only torture you to see if it can be damaged! Li Yan ced Qiao Mu on the big bed and then climbed onto it. Qiao Mus face was flushed red! What the hell! The torment she was referring to was the fact that he only slept for less than four hours every night! But what did he say? The torment that he was talking about was clearly colored! Then, a certain man didnt give her any reaction and used his actions to prove that he had good physical fitness. Qiao Mu was exhausted after an intense bout of sex. Perhaps it was because the two of them had not been together for a long time that a certain someone was like a hungry wolf and could not be controlled at all! However, despite such arge amount of exercise, he was still full of energy! If Qiao Mu had not been certain that he was exhausted every day and night, she would not have believed that this was the truth! Why was his stamina so good? Li Yan hugged Qiao Mu and refused to give up. Do you think your mans body is damaged? Why does it look like youve been tormented? Qiao Mu was speechless. As expected, a mans dignity could not be harmed! Wasnt she just worried about his health? He had to show off to prove his ability? Chapter 436 - 436: Don’t Be Alone Chapter 436 - 436: Dont Be Alone Trantor: 549690339 In fact, Li Yan did not mean to prove anything. Every time he met her, he would lose control, not to mention that he had suppressed it for so long this time. Li Yan leaned against the headboard while Qiao Mu leaned weakly against his chest. Her arms werezily wrapped around his waist, and her fingers were drawing circles on his abdominal muscles. Li Yan grabbed her little hand and reminded her, lf you still want to continue exercising, I dont mind you saying it directly. You dont have to pick me so subtly. Qiao Mus movements froze, and she retracted her hand with a red face. She raised her head to look at the mans expression and asked softly, Uncle, do you want to sleep? Im not sleepy. If youre tired, sleep for a while. Nonsense, you stay up sote every day. How can you not be sleepy? Qiao Mu raised her hand and caressed his face, feeling extremely distressed. Look at how pale you look. You even have dark circles under your eyes. If you continue to endure like this, your body will copse. Its fine if you worked so hard in the past, but now that you have me, you have to take care of your body. Its because of you that I have to work harder. Otherwise, how could I afford to raise you? Im very easy to raise! If you dont take good care of your body and get sick from exhaustion, Ill have to take care of you. Ill be at a disadvantage then. Cant you think about me? If anything happens to you, Ill really be a lonely person. How pitiful would I be then? Can you bear to? Qiao Mu sounded pitiful, but Li Yan knew that she was worried about him and did not want him to be too tired. The hand around her waist gently patted her and replied, Okay, in order to not let you be alone, Ill take care of my health in the future. This is my uncle! Qiao Mu grinned. Then take a nap to replenish your sleep. Ill watch over you! Li Yan lowered his head and looked at her ambiguously. Compared to sleeping, I want to sleep more You! Uncle, can we be more serious? Suddenly recalling something, Qiao Mu rested her chin on his chest and stared at him with her big eyes. Dont you think its a little weird for me to still call you little uncle when our rtionship as uncle and nephew is no longer the same? We dont have this kind of rtionship to begin with. If you dont like this form of address, then change it to the previous form of address. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Big Brother? But dont you think thats a strange way of addressing me? Were ten years apart, so youre already an uncle. Calling you big brother would be disrespectful! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. His smile was sinister. So, are you hinting to me that Im very old? Qiao Mu could vaguely sense that the man was unhappy, so she chuckled. Youre not old. Im just too young! Li Yan nced at Qiao Mus chest and nodded. Indeed, its quite small. Qiao Mu was speechless. Small your sister! Qiao Mu snorted and bit the mans abdominal muscles. Following her action, the mans body tensed up and he jumped up. He flipped over and pressed Qiao Mu into his embrace. Little thing, Ive warned you before. Dont hint at me if you dont want to continue! Youre so obvious. If I dont do something, Ill feel like Im letting you down. .. Uncle, I was wrong. Toote! After exercising again, Qiao Mu was already exhausted to the extreme. In a daze, she felt that a certain man was about to get up, so she hugged his waist and muttered softly, Uncle, sleep with me for a while. Be good, I want to work. Just sleep for a while, just a little while! Li Yan had no choice but to give up on the idea of getting up to work. He hugged the little woman to sleep. Work could be done at any time, but a little womans coquettishness was not something that could be done at any time.. Chapter 437 - 437: Admire Qjao Mu l s Ability Chapter 437 - 437: Admire Qjao Mu l s Ability Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan hugged the soft body in his arms and slept soundly. When he woke up, the little woman in his arms was no longer there. He frowned slightly. When did the little thing wake up? He actually didnt feel it. Li Yan got up and looked at the time. He had slept for two hours and it was time to get off work. He got up and was about to leave the lounge to look for the little woman when he heard the conversation outside. Miss Qiao, wheres the CEO? I have work to report. This was Lei Yis voice. Hes too tired and is sleeping. If theres anything you need, just tell me. When he wakes up, Ill tell him. Through the crack in the door, Li Yan saw the little woman sitting on his office chair with her back straight. Li Yan curled his lips helplessly, but his heart felt warm. This little thing had even participated in his work just to let him sleep a little longer, but could she understand? Qiao Mu obviously didnt understand. When Lei Yi heard her words, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he didnt want to report to her. Dont tell me if its a trade secret, Qiao Mu said considerately. If you identally leak a trade secret, dont me it on me. Lei Yi coughed lightly. Miss Qiao, its just some simple work. Id better wait for the CEO to wake up and report to him. He was worried that if Qiao Mu made a mistake in rying the message and there was a loophole, then Young Master Li would not me his nephew. He was the one who had failed in his duty! Alright then As Qiao Mu was speaking, the lounge door opened. She jumped up from her seat and looked at Li Yan with some dissatisfaction. Uncle, why did you wake up so soon after sleeping for such a short while?! Lei Yi was a little shocked by Qiao Mus attitude, but Young Master Li didnt think much of it. It was already surprising enough that Young Master Li slept during working hours, yet Qiao Muined that he didnt sleep enough! Lei Yi couldnt help but admire Qiao Mus ability to persuade a workaholic to go to sleep! Of course, Lei Yi did not know how much Qiao Mu had paid to let Li Yan sleep for such a short while. Her waist was about to break from exhaustion! Li Yan walked over, and Qiao Mu obediently gave up her seat. Ignoring the fact that there were outsiders around, he rubbed her head. If you dont wake up soon, this ce will be your territory. Qiao Mu chuckled. She suddenly remembered that Lei Yi was around, so she obediently walked to the sofa and sat down, not wanting to disturb him from his work. Li Yan nced at Lei Yi, and Lei Yi reported his work seriously. Qiao Mu looked at the time. It was time for dinner, so she took out her phone and ordered food on the food delivery website. Lei Yi left after reporting his work. Qiao Mu sat on the sofa without saying a word, not wanting to disturb the mans work. In the office, other than the sound of flipping through documents, there was only the sound of typing on the keyboard. Qiao Mu was so quiet that it was as if she did not exist. While Li Yan was working, he would look up at Qiao Mu from time to time to make sure that she was obedient before he continued working. The sky darkened, and there was a knock on the office door. Qiao Mu immediately went to open the door. The delivery man stood outside with a bag. This is takeout from Miss Qiao. Its 390 yuan in total. Alright. Qiao Mu took the bag and told the delivery man to wait a moment before she went to retrieve the money from her wallet. However, could she say that she had less than 200 yuan in her wallet? Li Yan had already stopped working. He watched as the woman took out the money, but he did not take it out for a long time.. Chapter 438 - 438: Do You Want to Embarrass Your Man? Chapter 438 - 438: Do You Want to Embarrass Your Man? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu awkwardly looked up at Li Yan and chuckled as she leaned over. Uncle, 390 yuan. Li Yan realized that his little woman was a pauper! He pointed at the clothes hanging on the hanger and said calmly, My wallet is in my pocket. Qiao Mu immediately went to look through her wallet. Fortunately, the man had cash in his wallet, and it was quite a lot. She counted four and handed them to the delivery boy. She said generously,Theres no need to look for it. The delivery man thanked him and left with the money. Li Yan shot a nce at the little woman. Just as he was about to say something, the sound of knocking on the door rang out again. Qiao Mu went to open the door again. She was here to deliver something again, and this time, it was fruits. Qiao Mu once again rummaged through Li Yans wallet to withdraw money and pay. Qiao Mu arranged the dishes and smiled at Li Yan. Uncle, its time for dinner. Li Yan walked over. You bought so much food. Are you treating this ce as your home? Yeah, I wont leave tonight. Ill work overtime with you! When youre especially busy in the future, Ille over to apany you after ss every day. This way, you wont have to go homete! Qiao Mu winked at Li Yan as if she was asking, Am I especially virtuous? Come and praise me. This little thing had be so sensible. However, she came over every day, and he could not guarantee that he would be in the best condition at work. He was worried that he would lose control and go to exercise with her without doing his job properly. How much money do you have in your wallet? Li Yan asked as they ate. At the mention of this, Qiao Mu said somewhat embarrassedly, Less than 200. Wheres Cary? Less than a thousand. After saying that, Qiao Mu snorted at the man. You still have the cheek to ask? You havent even given me my internship sry! Li Yan used to be with Qiao Mu every day, and he provided for all of her needs. Before that, their rtionship was very tense. Even It sne was given money, she would never ept it. Just as Li Yan was thinking about giving this little woman a card to solve her lifes difficulties, he saw Qiao Mu rummaging through her bag and taking out something. Qiao Mu took the ck card that Yu Yiduo gave her and waved it in front of Li Yan. Uncle, look, Im being kept! Li Yan looked at the number on the ck gold card and raised his eyebrows. If I remember correctly, this is my supplementary card. You remembered wrongly. This is a benefit given to me by someone who is supporting me. Qiao Mus smile was indescribably beautiful. However, in the next second, Li Yan stretched out his long arm and snatched the card away! Qiao Mu watched as the man put the card into his own pocket and widened her eyes. Thats mine! Youre not allowed to take other peoples cards! Auntie gave it to me, not anyone else. Give it back to me! This was Yu Yiduos gift to her. Whether she used it or not, it was hers! Other than me, everyone else is someone else. Qiao Mu was speechless. How could he be so overbearing! How unreasonable! Qiao Mu pouted unhappily. I want toin to Auntie! The man had a do as you please attitude as he peeled the meat of the crayfish and ced it into Qiao Mus bowl, continuing to eat as if nothing had happened. After the meal, Qiao Mu was filled with all sorts of dissatisfaction toward the man when the man pulled her into his embrace and stuffed a card into her hands. It was the same ck gold card, but the number had changed. Qiao Mu blinked, and then she heard the mans domineering voice. My woman, you want someone to give you money to spend? Are you trying to embarrass your man? Ill continue tomorrow. [The story of Chi Xia and Baby Guan will develop ording to the plot.. Do you guys want to watch it?] Chapter 439 - 439: Don’t Live off a Woman Chapter 439 - 439: Dont Live off a Woman Trantor: 549690339 The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. Was it really okay for Young Master Li to be jealous of his mother? He looked at the extremely heavy ck gold card in his hand. This card was not something that an ordinary person could have. It was enough to show Li Yans wealth! Qiao Mu hooked her arms around the mans neck and leaned her head against his chest. Uncle, actually, I can make money. One of my fashion design drafts can be sold for several hundred yuan. Its enough for my living expenses. I dont need this card for my daily expenses. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. So, you dont want to ept it? You can take the card your mother-inw gave you, but you wont ept your man s? Granny Why did he say this address so naturally? She pouted. When Auntie gave me this card, I couldnt reject her kindness, so I epted it. I didnt n to use it. Then you have the cheek to reject my good intentions? The mans tone was not very good. He was obviously unhappy. Why are you so petty! Take it. Whether you use it or not is another matter. If you need to buy some emergency things, what if your little treasury is not enough? Also, your fashion design drafts are your private copyrights. Dont sell them casually. Do you want to see someone elses name on your work? Li Yan had hit Qiao Mus weak spot. Of course, she did not want to sell the drafts she had designed. After she sold them, others would treat them as her own designs and take them for themselves. Naturally, she would not be happy. In the past, she had no choice but to use money. Now that she didnt have Zhou Jierus incessant demands and had lost the Qiao familys living expenses, it was inevitable for her to continue on this path if she wanted to survive independently. Although she was with Li Yan now, she did not want to spend his money all the time. If she relied on him financially, she would lose her status. She rubbed her head against his chest and whispered, Uncle, I still owe you five million. Although such arge sum of money is nothing to you, its still a loan. Even if were together, we cant just let it go, right? If you want me to continue spending your money without paying off this money, Ill feel very guilty. Li Yan frowned. He was very unhappy that she had calcted things so clearly with him. Did this little woman know that she was his woman now? It was only natural for her to eat his, use his, and spend his money? Because he wanted to give her the best of everything, she didnt need to feel guilty about epting all this! He lifted her chin and made her look at him. Qiao Mu, dont cut ties with me so clearly. Ill get angry. Im not cutting ties with you. I just dont want to be a woman. This was a matter of values. Living off a woman is a man! Then I dont want to be a rice worm raised by you. If she had no pursuit like this, she would be rejected by him sooner orter. Qiao Mus gaze was firm, which made Li Yan feel a little helpless. Since you want to put it that way, then the five million that I gave you, we agreed that well pay it off automatically after three years. So, as long as youre with me for three years, this amount of money will be offset. You dont have to think of another way to pay it back. Qiao Mus small face puffed up. Even though she knew that he was thinking for her sake and didnt want her to worry about this sum of money, she still snorted. Im not happy that youre telling me about this rtionship at a time like this! Three years? That was a deal in the past, but it was clearly not the case now! Im the one who should be unhappy! Li Yan red at her.. She still dared to be unhappy! Chapter 440 - 440: Must Obey Chapter 440: Must Obey Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu snorted again and poked his chest again and again with her finger. Li Yan, thats enough. You dont even give me any rights when Im with you. Were equals, so you have to respect me. I want to have the absolute right to speak like how auntie treats uncle! Li Yan lowered his eyes and nced at her. Youre quite ambitious. My mother married my father for decades to get to where she is today. I dont mind you being unreasonable with me again after thirty years! Qiao Mu was speechless. He was ruthless! She knew that she could not win against him in a debate! Li Yan wrapped his arms around her and looked at her with a deep gaze. Qiao Mu, what you want to do after graduation is another matter. But right now, youre just a student and you dont have a source of ie. You can totally rely on me. You dont have to calcte things so clearly with me. Im not forcing you to do things you dont like. Theres no room for discussion on this matter. You have to follow my wishes. If you dont rely on your man, who do you want to rely on? The mans words were unbelievably domineering. Every word and sentence revealed an iparable dominance, as if this matter was not negotiable. Qiao Mu pursed her lips and ignored the main point of his expression. She grabbed onto her pigtail. You know that Im still a student. How can you do that to a student? Li Yans lips curled into a devilish smile. You seem to have forgotten who attacked whom first! Qiao Mus face reddened. If he were to mention her first time, her first time was under the effects of drugs, alright? This man did not know how to give in to her. He had never given her the upper hand in a single sentence! She put the ck gold card into her pocket and gave up resisting. Ill take this card, alright? Be good. If you were so happy earlier, you wouldnt have needed me to teach you. Qiao Mu snorted and nudged him. Hurry up and go to work. Go to bed at 12 sharp. Ill wait for you. Dont stay upte! Li Yan got up and went to work. Qiao Mu was bored, so she took a pen and paper and started drawing. She drew a bunch of fashion design drafts, and time passed very quickly. It was much morefortable than waiting for him at home alone. Qiao Mu was already sleepy after exercising during the day. She rested her chin on one hand and stared at her phone with the other. Seeing that there were only a few seconds left until midnight, she started the countdown. 9, 8.. 3, 2, 1. Uncle, its 12 0clock. Lets go to sleep. Li Yan raised his head. You go to sleep first. Ill be back in a while. No! We agreed to sleep together! Qiao Mu moved a chair and sat down opposite Li Yan. If youre not sleeping, Im not sleeping either! Ill finish this document first. Then Ill wait for you. Qiao Mu was like a primary school student. She ced her hands on the table and sat upright, staring at Li Yan. Li Yan was really at his wits end with this little thing. With her stalking him like this, he could not even concentrate on his work. After continuing to work for a while, he saw that the little womans eyelids could not hold on any longer. Then, she supported her head with one hand and closed her eyes, almost falling asleep. Li Yan sighed as he looked at the remaining work. He turned off theputer, got up, and carried the little woman into the lounge. He knew that with this little woman by his side, his work efficiency would be greatly reduced. Qiao Mu opened her eyes in a daze. Are you done with work? Okay, lets sleep. After Qiao Mu was ced under the nket, shefortably groaned and hugged the man to sleep. [Recently, the efficiency at night has been too low. Ill update two chapters first and the rest in the afternoon..] Chapter 441 - 441: A Man Like Li Yan Won’t Be Serious Chapter 441: A Man Like Li Yan Wont Be Serious Trantor: 549690339 In the next few days, Qiao Mu would go to Li Yanspany when she had less sses. When her sses were tight, she could only stay overnight in the school dormitory. Every day was veryfortable and blissful. Qiao Mu had never known that she would have such a feeling. She wanted to be with someone every day and not feel bored. After a few days of busy work, Li Yan finally came to an end. He was about to go on a business trip. Qiao Mus sses were also getting more intense. She had to go to ss every day and self-study at night. In her free time, she designed some fashion drafts and prepared to make a collection to sell to fashion designpanies. Of course, this time, she had to note her own works. In the past, she had been under great pressure to protect her copyrights because of money. Now, she wanted to see if this path would work. She hoped that all her works would have Qiao Mus signature. Just like that, a busy week passed quickly. When Qiao Mu walked out of the teaching building after ss, she saw Han Su. Senior, why are you here? She was a little surprised. I came to do something. Mumu, I didnt expect to meet you again. We havent seen each other since thest time something happened to you. Han Su smiled apologetically at Qiao Mu. I didnt help you much when something happened to you. Senior, youve already helped me a lot. Ive troubled you for so long with the exchange student matter, and I havent thanked you properly. Qiao Mu felt ashamed. Han Sus gaze fell on Qiao Mus face. Herplexion was much better than before. Her smile was so rxed, and her expression was radiating radiance from within, making her even more beautiful than before. Han Su smiled. I remember you saying that you would treat me to a meal to express your gratitude after you earned your sry from your internship. Qiao Mu was stunned, but she nodded. Mm, then lets do it today. It was noon, and Qiao Mu and Han Su arrived at a restaurant near the school. Mu Mu, Han Su asked calmly while eating, you didnt be an exchange student. Do you regret it? Qiao Mu shook her head. I think its pretty good now. Now that he thought about it, it was fortunate that she did not leave. However, she knew that even if she really chose to leave, with Li Yans temper, he would still drag her back. The facts proved that he had already chased her all the way to Hong Kong. In the past, she thought that Li Yan did not let go of her because he was possessive and wanted to control her. Slowly, she realized that a man who could get anything would not waste his energy and time on something he did not like. Because you want it, you have to have it. This was a very simple principle. Han Su put down his chopsticks and stared at Qiao Mu. Are you together with Li Yan? Qiao Mu didnt expect Han Su to suddenly ask this question. She was stunned for a moment, but she smiled calmly and nodded. She didnt reply, but her expression and actions exined everything. The smile on Han Sus face disappeared. Mu Mu, a man like Li Yan wont be serious. Have you really thought it through? Qiao Mu was stunned. What Han Su meant was that it was a risk for her to be with Li Yan. Although she was a little unhappy to receive such a response, she still replied with a smile, Senior, thank you for your concern. I know what to do about my matters. At this moment, her phone rang. She lowered her head to look at the caller ID, and the smile on her lips slowly spread. Han Su saw the change in Qiao Mus expression and knew who the caller was without even guessing.. Chapter 442 - 442: Lying Chapter 442: Lying Trantor: 549690339 Previously, when Li Yan took her away from the police station, Han Su had always thought that Qiao Mu was forced to do so. But now, it seemed that she really liked that man. But who was Li Yan? Why would that man, who was so decisive in the business world, be with a little girl like her? Even if it was just a moment of love, when the love wore off, she would still be the one who was sad in the end! Qiao Mu picked up her phone and went to the side to answer the call. Uncle, why do you have the time to call me? Where are you? The mans deep voice sounded on the other end of the phone. Im at school. Im having lunch outside. Qiao Mu answered truthfully. With who? Qiao Mu nced at Han Su, who was not far away, and replied, ssmate. Li Yan was such a petty man. If he knew that she was having dinner with Han Su, he would definitely be unhappy. Therefore, in order to prevent him from getting angry, she directly fooled the person she was eating with. However, the person on the other end of the phone didnt let go of the question. A faint voice sounded, 0h? Male and female ssmates? Uncle, are you checking your household registration? Qiao Mu smiled and changed the topic. When are youing back? Youve been on a business trip for a week. Are youing back? There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before he said in a deep voice, Yes, Ill go back tonight. Really? Then Ill wait for you! Qiao Mu saw Han Su stand up and said into the phone, Uncle, lets not talk about it for now. Call me when youe back. After saying goodbye to Li Yan and hanging up the phone, Qiao Mu quickly went over to stop Han Su, who was paying the bill. Senior, we agreed that it would be my treat. It doesnt matter who pays for a meal. I ept your kindness. Han Su smiled. Qiao Mu was too embarrassed to argue with a grown man about paying about 100 yuan, so she could only nod. The two of them left the restaurant. Since they were going the same way, they walked along the sidewalk toward the school. Qiao Mu did not notice that a familiar car was parked on the opposite side of the road. In the ck car, the man looked at the back of the little woman outside the car. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression could not be seen. The atmosphere in the car was a little gloomy. Lei Yi, who was in front, felt a chill run down his spine. Young Master Li got off the ne an hour ago and rushed straight to T University. Thepanys high-level meeting was dyed because of his change of schedule. However, who would have thought that when they arrived at the school, they would unintentionally see this scene-Qiao Mu was having a meal alone with a man! Not only that, but Qiao Mu also did not confess honestly! ording to Young Master Lis temper, he would have gotten out of the car to expose him and question him directly, but he actually sat in the car without moving? Such a reaction was even more frightening! He was already back, but he still said that he would be back at night. What did he mean? Lei Yi was a little confused. Could it be that he had misunderstood Qiao Mu and that man? However, if there was nothing, why would he lie and not confess? Lei Yi saw Qiao Mus figure leave the corner and saw the mans gloomy expression through the rearview mirror. He braced himself and said, Young Master, Miss Qiao might just be having a meal with a ssmate. Its not like there arent pure friends among male friends. Lei Yi had just finished speaking when he felt Li Yans expression darken. He nced at him coldly and said coldly, Are you trying to exin to me, or are you adding fuel to the fire? From what you said, it doesnt matter.. I thought it was rted! Do I need your exnation? Chapter 443 - 443: Want to Give Her a Surprise Chapter 443: Want to Give Her a Surprise Trantor: 549690339 * Cough * Lei Yi felt awkward. He really regretted being a busybody. But did Young Master Li mean to believe Qiao Mu or not? At this moment, the man behind the car spoke again and spat out three words coldly,Back to thepany! Li Yan closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat without saying a word. Last night, Qiao Mu had even sent him a message asking when she would be back. At that time, he was indeed unsure of the exact time and only said that he would let her know when he was sure. He had not seen her for a week, but she had missed him so much. When he thought about how she missed him as well, he could not suppress the feelings in his chest. He wanted to hug her immediately and feel that fulfilling feeling. Therefore, he stayed up all night to settle the matter. After he was done early in the morning, he immediately booked a ne ticket and rushed back. He didnt inform her in advance because he wanted to give her a surprise. Thinking about how she would look when she suddenly saw him, he was quite looking forward to it. But He wasnt surprised, but the result surprised him. This little thing, when he was not around, she was still in the mood to eat with someone else, and it was Han Su, who he disliked! Most importantly, it was fine if she did this, but she didnt even tell him the truth and directly fooled him! Looking at his little woman talking andughing to another man, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed! It was as if a jar of vinegar had been knocked over, making his entire body suffuse with sour water. This little thing could really cause trouble for him! If he rushed in front of her, he was worried that he would lose control of his emotions and kick Han Su away from his woman. He knew that the little thing wouldnt be happy if he did that. Therefore, he suppressed his emotions and pretended that he didnt see anything and chose to leave! After a while, Li Yan opened his eyes and said, Send the gown to T Universitys dormitory in the afternoon and pick her up at the banquet tonight. Qiao Mu returned to the school gate and bid farewell to Han Su. Just as she was about to enter the school gate, she saw Chi Xia walking out. The two of them headed north and south respectively. Chi Xia did not see her as she walked towards the other end and stopped beside a ck car. Qiao Mu was a little curious, so she took a few steps closer to get a clear look at the man in the car. was it su Chen? The two of them had been in contact with each other in private. When did their rtionship be so good? Chi Xia stood by the car door and handed the ck bag to Su Chen. Mr. Su, Ive washed it for you. Ill leave it here. If theres nothing else, Ill be leaving. Su Chen nced coldly at the woman standing outside the car. Get in the car. Huh? I have something to tell you. You opened the car door and all the heat ran into the car. Oh, Chi Xia replied and got into the car. What did Mr. Su want to tell me? She didnt seem to have anything to say to this man, right? Theres a banquet tonight. Youll be my femalepanion. Su Chen said straightforwardly. Chi Xia was stunned. Mr. Su, we dont seem to know each other very well. Isnt your attitude a little Too much? Su Chen looked up. Help? Youre mistaken. This is yourpensation for vomiting all over me. Do you think this matter will be over? Not to mention thepensation for emotional damage, Ive already thrown away the clothes that you dirtied. So, you have no right to refuse. Mental damagepensationHe made it sound like it was a serious matter! Alright then! Even if that was the case, why did his attitude sound like that of a Chapter 444 - 444: I Missed You to Death (1) Chapter 444 - 444: I Missed You to Death (1) Trantor: 549690339 Before Chi Xia could reply, Su Chen continued, 111 pick you up in the evening. You dont need to prepare a gown. Chi Xia really felt that this man was strange. Did heck women? Why did he have toe all the way here to ask her to be his femalepanion? Didnt he despise her and dislike her? Or was he trying to take revenge on her? After Su Chen finished speaking, he saw that the woman was sitting still and said calmly, You can get off now. Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia got out of the car with mixed feelings and the car sped away. Chi Xia turned around and saw Qiao Mu standing behind her. She was shocked. What are you doing here? You scared me to death! If I wasnt here, why would I see you so close to Second Young Master Su? Qiao Mu looked at Chi Xia ambiguously. Tell me honestly, what happened? Nothing happened. Were clean. Qiao Mu blinked. I dont believe it! Let me guess, could it be that the heavens have made a matchmaker for two people who have never interacted with each other to be a couple? Chi Xia was speechless. Youre thinking too much! In the evening, Qiao Mu received Lei Yis call to deliver a gown to her. Qiao Mu changed her clothes and got into Lei Yis car. She asked, Assistant Lei Te, what time is Li Yans flight? Lei Yi wanted to say that he had already returned at noon, but in the end, he said nonchntly, Young Master is already in thepany now. He has a lot of things to do. He asked me to send you to the banquet venue. He will go directly from thepany. Qiao Mu nodded. He had already arrived at thepany, yet he didnt tell her! Why didnt he give her a call when he got off the ne? Sending a message is fine too! Forget it, she thought that she would be able to meet him in a while, so she didnt want to argue with him! The hall on the second floor of the Abundance of Gold Hotel was over a thousand square meters in size, forming a huge banquet venue. In order to celebrate Yu Yiduos acquisition of the Yu Corporation, Li Zheng held arge banquet to show everyone that the Yu Corporation had changed its face and invited almost all the famous people in the business world. The scale of the banquet was huge. Qiao Mu arrived a little early, so there werent many people. After entering the venue, she saw Yu Yiduo dressed in a red qipao, and she was walking around the venue in a mboyant manner, greeting the guests. When she saw Qiao Mu, Yu Yiduo smiled and walked over. Mumu, youre really beautiful today. You look like a little fairy in this white gown. As expected of my precious daughter! The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched, and she smiled. Auntie, youre the main character today. How can Ipare to you? Only when you wear the qipao can it show off its value and your temperament. Its simply overwhelming all the handsome men and beautiful women present! Hahaha, the same goes for you. Yu Yiduo and Qiao Mu started to tter each other, causing Li Zheng to be displeased. Alright, there are so many guests. You and your mother have to catch up. When youre done, you can go home and praise each other. Yu Yiduo patted Qiao Mus hand. Mu Mu, youre family, so I wont care about you. You can eat and drink here and wait for Li Yan toe over. Hes already on his way. Okay, Uncle, Auntie, you guys go ahead. Dont worry about me. Qiao Mu was indeed a little hungry. She picked up a small piece of cake from her te and sat on the sofa at the side, eating while waiting for Li Yan. More and more people gathered at the banquet venue. Qiao Mu took out her phone and sent a message to Li Yan.Uncle, when will you arrive? After a while, her phone rang. Qiao Mu saw Li Yans reply, and it was a simple four words: Look at the entrance.. Chapter 445 - 445: I Missed You to Death (2) Chapter 445 - 445: I Missed You to Death (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu turned her head and saw that tall figure walking in. The man was still in high spirits, and his entire body exuded a noble and extraordinary aura. He had just entered the venue, but he had already attracted the attention of others. Before Qiao Mu could go over, someone had already surrounded Li Yan and toasted him. Miss Qiao. A voice sounded from behind her. Qiao Mu turned around and saw a noble and dignified woman smiling at her. This woman was Shu Xinyu. She had seen her before at Li Yanspany. Excuse me, do you know me? Qiao Mu was a little surprised. Shu Xinyus actions were graceful and graceful. She smiled at Qiao Mu. I met you at Li Enterprise and happened to see you being used of leakingpany secrets. Oh, Im sorry, that incident seemed to be a misunderstanding. I heard that the Li Enterprises reply to the public was that the manager of your design department leaked the secrets. Qiao Mu suddenly recalled that this woman looked familiar thest time she saw her at Li Yanspany. She had met her before! However, just because of this incident, the other party remembered her? Qiao Mu smiled. Im sorry to make a fool of myself. Miss Qiao, the former chairman of Yu Corporation is yoursStepmother, something has happened to Yu Enterprise. Your stepmother doesnt seem to be on good terms with the Li family, but why are you here? Although Qiao Mu was unsure why the other party was telling her this, she still replied with a smile, lm not too sure about the elders. I came here with my friends today. I see. Shu Xinyu nodded and stared at Qiao Mus face. Miss Qiao, your father is Qiao Jiannan. Who is your mother? You look a little familiar to me. You look like a friend of mine when he was young. Qiao Mu was stunned. Like a friend of hers? However, she did not even Imow who her mother was. Im sorry, she said calmly. You must have mistaken me for someone else. My mother is just an ordinary woman. Is that so? Shu Xinyus eyes were in a daze. Qiao Mu kept feeling that the other party was looking at her with a strange gaze. It was a scrutinizing gaze that did not hide the fact that he was sizing up her face. At this moment, a slender figure walked over and held Shu Xinyus arm. Mom, what are you doing here? Eh, who is this person? Moms friend? Qiao Mu looked at her. The woman looked to be around 21 or 22 years old, and her beautiful and exquisite face was extremely outstanding. Although Shu Xinyu looked like she was in her forties, she had maintained her looks very well. She must have been very beautiful when she was young. When the mother and daughter stood together, they felt like sisters. This feeling was so good that Qiao Mu was a little envious. Shu Xinyu looked at the person who had just arrived, and her expression instantly turned gentle. No, its just a casual chat. Lets go, Ill bring you to meet Li Yan. Didnt you want to get to know him? Alright! Qiao Mu could clearly see that Shu Xinyus daughters eyes shed with surprise when she heard the name Li Yan. Then, the two of them walked up to Li Yan and greeted him. Shu Xinyu introduced them, President Li, this is my daughter, Ning Tongtong. I heard that the Li family is hosting the banquet tonight, so she insisted oning with me. She wants to get to know you. Mom, what are you talking about? You make it sound like Im a love-struck fool. Ning Tongtong blushed in embarrassment. She raised her head and smiled at Li Yan. Mr. Li, I admire your ability. Its my honor to meet you. [There are more updates..] Chapter 446 - 446: I Missed You to Death (3) Chapter 446 - 446: I Missed You to Death (3) Trantor: 549690339 Facing Ning Tongtongs enthusiasm, Li Yan only nodded his head lightly in response. At this moment, all of his attention was on Qiao Mu, who was a few steps away. The little woman today was dressed in a white gown, and she looked unbelievably clean and youthful. It made him have the urge to immediately pull her into his arms. He suppressed his impatience and looked at the woman opposite him without batting an eyelid. Ning Tongtong ignored Li Yans indifference and took out her business card from her bag. President Li, this is my business card. Im a fashion designer. I hope to have the opportunity to be your personal fashion designer. Ning Tongtong smiled confidently. The Li Group had a partnership with her familyspany. Based on this rtionship, Li Yan would not reject her without giving her face. Li Yan took the name card and did not even look at it. It seemed like he was not interested in anything at all. Shu Xinyu looked at the two of them and said, President Li, you guys chat first. Im going to the washroom. Qiao Mu, who was not far away, finally understood that Shu Xinyu wanted to matchmake Ning Tongtong and Li Yan. Qiao Mu really wanted to walk over and stand between the two of them, possessively dering to the outside world that this man was hers. But Li Yan seemed to be unable to interact with her in public. He was worried that his enemies would find trouble with her. Qiao Mu simply sat down on the sofa. Since she couldnt get close to him, she would just watch him from afar. Qiao Mus actions made Li Yans expression darken. Opposite her, Ning Tongtong felt that Li Yan had be even colder after Shu Xinyu left. However, such a mans attitude towards the opposite sex was even more charming. One look and it was obvious that he was not a casual man! Ning Tongtong was about to continue when Li Yan suddenly said with a cold face, 1 still have something to do. Excuse me. Ning Tongtong was stunned. The man in front of her had just finished speaking when he walked past her without giving her a chance to respond. Qiao Mu was looking at the man from afar when she suddenly saw him walking toward her. Did he not mind interacting with her in public? She subconsciously stood up and couldnt control her happiness. She grinned at him. Uncle Li Yan pursed his lips and held her hand without saying a word. Qiao Mu felt thatrge hand tightly wrapping around her small hand, and that sense of security made her heart feel extremely fulfilled. Her heart beat inexplicably faster as she quietly followed behind the man and walked out of the crowd. It was only a short one or two minutes, but it felt like a century had passed. Looking at the tall figure beside her, she really wanted to throw herself into his arms. However, in such an asion, she could only endure it. Finally, he held her hand and left the crowd. Qiao Mu originally wanted to give him a big hug, but she was too nervous to react. Qiao Mu felt that she was very funny when she realized her nervousness. Her reaction was like that of a young man or woman who had just fallen in love. There was no one around. After turning a corner, Li Yan stopped in his tracks and gave her a kabedon. His arm held her waist tightly and he kissed her lips fiercely. It was a defenseless kiss, but it was very passionate. Feeling the mans passionate breath, she closed her eyes and hooked her arms around his neck. She tiptoed and catered to him. The intimate contact at this moment made the longing in her heart erupt in an instant. It could not be stopped from surging out.. Chapter 447 - 447: Poisoned by a Little Woman Chapter 447 - 447: Poisoned by a Little Woman Trantor: 549690339 She really missed him! She didnt know why, but she had never felt this way before. When Chi Xia and Gu Cheng were together, they missed each other very much because they were separated for two days on the weekend. She could not understand how it felt and always thought that they were too pretentious when they were in love. At that moment, she truly experienced it for herself. It turned out that she could really miss someone so crazily. Words could not describe what kind of feelings she had. Seeing him now and being held in his arms was enough to make her heart bloom with joy! Li Yan did not hold back at all. He wished he could rub the little thing into his body. If it was not for the fact that the asion did not allow it, he really wanted to have her at this moment! This kiss carried a hint of punishment for the lie she had told him during the day! At the thought of this, he kissed her harder, but in return, the little woman moaned. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at his red and swollen lips. Only then did he restrain the urge in his heart and stop. Qiao Mus body leaned limply against his chest. She licked her burning lips and frowned slightly. Uncle, I cant face anyone anymore! Li Yans body tensed up when he saw her licking her lips. His thin lips moved and he said in a low and hoarse voice, Then I wont see you. Be good and go back to your room to wait for me! Qiao Mu blushed when she heard his ambiguous words. She red at him. Youre not serious! The man raised his eyebrows and tightened his grip on her waist. Youre not serious. Thats only for you! Qiao Mu snorted, but she felt very pleased inside. Although he was very indecent, this was her youngest uncle! He looked like a cold and gentlemanly man, but deep down, he was a wretched hooligan! No one would have thought that Young Master Lis nature was so indecent! Qiao Mus entire body hung on his chest. Uncle, when did youe back? You didnt even tell me when we got off the ne! Li Yan narrowed his eyes. When he mentioned this, the resentment in his heart was revealed. I think youre doing well when Im not around. Why do you care when Ie back? No! Qiao Mu pouted unhappily when she heard that. She hugged his neck tightly and said in a sweet voice, Uncle, I missed you to death! Her coquettish tone made Li Yans entire body feel refreshed. Li Yan had never liked women who acted coquettishly. However, when the same tone came out of his little womans mouth, it sounded pleasant no matter how he heard it! Moreover, he enjoyed it very much! Li Yan realized that he had really been poisoned by this little woman. No matter what she became, he would still like her! Pinching her toot cheeks, he pressed his lips against her ear and said ambiguously, 111 teach you a lesson when we get back tonight! Qiao Mus body stiffened, and her already flushed face instantly turned red. She gently pushed him. You should go back quickly. There are so many guests waiting for you! Li Yan let go of her and helped her adjust her gown. As my femalepanion, dont you n to enter the venue with me? Qiao Mu was stunned. Arent you not allowed to get too close to me in public? Li Yan finally understood why the little woman did not take the initiative to get close to him just now. It turned out that she cared about this! He sighed and said helplessly, The crisis has been resolved! Your mans efficiency isnt that low.. Chapter 448 - 448: What Is Your Relationship With Li Yan? Chapter 448: What Is Your Rtionship With Li Yan? Trantor: 549690339 In fact, it was all because Ouyang, who was far away overseas, was efficient, okay? Ever since Superintendent Ouyang found out that she had offended her future sister-inw, she had really gone all out to clean up all these people who were blocking her way to the open path. Qiao Mu stomped her foot. Why didnt you tell her?! She touched her lips and red at him with a red face. You should go back first. If I go out with you like this, people will know what we did. Ill go to the bathroom first. Alright. Li Yan curled his lips and turned to leave. Qiao Mu patted her burning cheeks and walked in another direction. But when he turned around, he bumped into Shu Xinyu. Qiao Mu was stunned. Shu Xinyu was standing at the corner, and she was unsure if she had just walked over or was already standing there. Could it be that she and Li Yan just nowShu Xinyu saw it? Qiao Mu felt awkward, but she braced herself and walked over. She nodded politely at Shu Xinyu, and just as she was about to walk past her, Shu Xinyu spoke up. Miss Qiao, whats your rtionship with Li Yan? Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mu with a cold gaze. She was much more distant than when she greeted Qiao Mu previously. Qiao Mu saw the other partys change. Shu Xinyu must have wanted to matchmake Ning Tongtong and Li Yan, but she was unhappy to see her with Li Yan. Qiao Mu did not feel the need to exin her rtionship with Li Yan to a stranger. She merely smiled faintly. Madam Shu, this is my private matter. In other words, it had nothing to do with others. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she turned around and entered the washroom. Shu Xinyus face was cold as she watched the figure disappear. She had heard from Ning Tongtong that Li Yan had brought Qiao Mu into the side hall, so she had walked over to take a look. Then, she saw two people hugging each other at the end of the corridor. Although they couldnt hear what they were talking about, their actions were enough to show that their rtionship wasnt ordinary. Li Yan, who had always been cold to others, was actually hugging a girl in private! Qiao Mu looked innocent, especially her face. When she first saw her, she was surprised for a moment. He did not expect her to have an ambiguous rtionship with Li Yan! It seemed that just because she looked so innocent did not mean that she was a simple girl! Qiao Mu touched up her makeup in the washroom and put on the lipstick that Li Yan had eaten clean. She only returned to the banquet hall when she could not feel any change in her expression. There were too many people in the hall, so she could not find Li Yan. He looked at the entrance and sawChi Xia! Chi Xia held Su Chens arm and walked in. Did these two people really get together? Chi Xia thought that she would attend a small banquet with Su Chen and leave after a simple formality. In the end, when they entered the hall, they realized that the scale of this banquet was really not ordinary! Did he not warn her beforehand to let her be mentally prepared? In the evening, he picked her up and brought her to the clothing store. He changed her into a gown and brought her here directly. On the way, this man did not say much. She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly saw Qiao Mu. Chi Xias eyes lit up. She raised her hand and was about to wave at Qiao Mu when the man beside her swept his cold gaze over. Chi Xia, youre my date now. Dont embarrass me. Chi Xias movements froze and she lowered her arms in embarrassment. Calmly, she said, Mr. Su, although I identally caused you some trouble, I dont owe you money. You dont have to treat me like this.. Chapter 449 - 449: Have You All Turned Your Fights Into Friends? Chapter 449: Have You All Turned Your Fights Into Friends? Trantor: 549690339 Su Chen lowered his gaze and nced at the woman beside him. The clothes that you dirtied arent money? Chi Xia pouted. She knew this man was holding a grudge! Chi Xia followed Su Chen inside. There were peopleing to propose toasts and Su Chen responded to them one by one. When this man faced others, he was neither overly cold nor enthusiastic. He had a faint smile on his face and looked calm. Chi Xia turned her head and saw Qiao Mu walking over. Qiao Mu sized up Chi Xia and Su Chen before smiling at Su Chen. Young Master Su, when did you get so close to Xiaxia? Are you guys turning hostility into friendship? Su Chen raised his eyebrows. You have the mood to meddle in other peonles affairs. Wheres my brother? How could he bear to leave you here alone? How would I know where he is? Dont change the subject. Xiaxia is my best friend. Qiao Mu then winked at Chi Xia ambiguously. Isnt that right, Xiaxia? Chi Xia felt helpless under Qiao Mus stare. Her gaze fell on Qiao Mus slightly red lips and she asked in surprise, Mu Mu, why is your mouth so abnormally red? Did you do something bad just now? Qiao Mu was stunned. She raised her hand to cover her lips with an unnatural expression. How is it abnormal? Your eyes are ying tricks on you! I wont disturb you anymore. Ill go look for uncle. Chi Xia burst outughing. She knew what was going on just by looking at Qiao Mus reaction. It seemed like she missed Young Master Li too much after being apart from him for a few days. Chi Xia was smiling when she raised her head and noticed Su Chens gaze on her face. Realizing that she had lost herposure, she immediately stopped smiling and said, I know. I want to maintain my image and not embarrass you. Are you very close to Qiao Mu? Su Chen asked indifferently. Yes. Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mus back as she left, and the corners of her lips curled up. Her face was smiling brightly. Weve been in the same school since middle school. What a bad rtionship. We havent been able to get rid of her for so many years. Many rtionships have been going on and off, but shes like a biological sister to us. Our rtionship has never changed. On and offAt this point, Chi Xia could not help but think of a certain man, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared. Su Chen narrowed his eyes and took in the changes in her expression. Why? Are you thinking of your heartbroken boyfriend? Chi Xias expression froze. She felt unhappy when she heard the slight sarcasm in his tone. Mr. Su, our rtionship is not at the point where you can pry into other peoples private matters. Please respect me! If you dont want others to say it, then dont show it. Chi Xia bit her lip as the waiter walked past her with a ss of red wine. She picked up the ss of red wine angrily and downed it in one gulp. Su Chen frowned. I dont want to be with a drunkardter! Chi Xia did not think much of it. After the cocktail party, well be even. You dont have to be with me! On the other side, Qiao Mu found Li Yan, who was greeting guests. When Li Yan saw Qiao Mu, he excused himself and strode toward her. What took you so long? If you donte over soon, the banquet will be over. Qiao Mu hooked her arm around Li Yans arm. I saw Xiaxia and Su Chening over just now, so I greeted them. Uncle, how did Su Chen hook up with Xiaxia? Li Yan nced at her helplessly. Why are you gossiping about other peoples matters? If you have that kind of thought, put it on your man.. Chapter 450 - 450: Mother-in-law’s Protection Chapter 450: Mother-inws Protection Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was about to say something when she saw Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong chatting with Yu Yiduo not far behind Li Yan. Uncle, Qiao Mu asked curiously, does Shu Xinyu want to introduce her daughter to you? The corners of Qiao Mus lips curled up when she heard these three simple words. Other than her, no one else would care about her youngest uncle! Qiao Mu stood beside Li Yan and instantly became the center of attention at the banquet. Li Yan had always been a lone wolf when he attended such events, and this banquet was organized by the Li family. Li Yans parents were present, and he had brought such a woman to his side under the watchful eyes of his parents. This meant that his status was not ordinary! Shu Xinyu nced at Qiao Mu, then smiled at Yu Yiduo. She pretended not to know and asked, Chairman Yu, I wonder which familys daughter is thedy beside President Li? Yu Yiduo didnt know how to answer. Qiao Mu had nothing to do with the Qiao family anymore, so it wasnt appropriate to talk about the Qiao familys daughter. After thinking about it, she replied, lm not too sure either. I usually dont ask about my sons private matters. Its obvious that President Li is very concerned about bringing thisdy to the banquet. Chairman Yu, its better for you to pay attention to her. After all, girls nowadays are greedy for fame and fortune. They have a lot of ambitions. Its better not to cause trouble for President Li. Since Yu Yiduo didnt know Qiao Mu, it meant that she didnt know about the rtionship between Qiao Mu and Yu Tingyun. It seemed that Qiao Mu was indeed scheming. Yu Yiduo smiled when she heard the other party hinting at Qiao Mus character. President Shu, youre overthinking. I believe in my sons taste. The kind of woman youre talking about wont catch his eye. If he cares about her, shes naturally outstanding. Im never worried that hell find me an indecent daughter-inw. The girl beside him is as beautiful as a fairy. They look reallypatible! Yu Yiduo was a protective person. How could she just stand by and watch when someone dared to target her daughter-inw? Shu Xinyu smiled awkwardly. Ning Tongtong, who was quiet at the side, smiled sweetly. Aunt Yu, girls nowadays cant just be judged by their appearance. Being pretty doesnt mean that theyre innocent. Oh? Little girl, I think youre very beautiful. Yu Yiduos straightforward praise made Ning Tongtong happy. However, she immediately realized that Yu Yiduo was mocking her for being beautiful but not innocent. Her expression changed instantly. Yu Yiduo raised her wine ss. President Shu, Im going over there for a while. Please make yourself at home. Excuse me. Once Yu Yiduo left, Ning Tongtong pouted unhappily. Mom, does she not like me? You dont give me any face at all. This Yu Yiduo has always been like this. Youre a junior, so its fine for her to be a little blunt. She protected Qiao Mu just now because Qiao Mu is Li Yans femalepanion and she didnt want to embarrass her son. You still have a chance. Shu Xinyu smiled gently. Mom, you just want to be Li Yans personal designer. You dont have any other intentions! Ning Tongtongs face was slightly red as she stared at Li Yan with bright eyes. She suddenly felt that the woman standing beside Li Yan was an eyesore. She looked at Qiao Mu and was slightly surprised. Eh, Mom, why do I feel that Qiao Mu looks a little like you when youre young from afar? Shu Xinyu was stunned. She looked at Qiao Mu. That girls every frown and smile truly surprised her. Perhaps there was such a coincidence.. Chapter 451 - 451: Can You Rest Assured If Su Chen Taken Her Chapter 451: Can You Rest Assured If Su Chen Taken Her Away Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was exhausted from apanying Li Yan to deal with the guests, so she sat down on the sofa to rest. After a while, Chi Xia walked over and sat down on the sofa. Wearing high heels is too tiring. Qiao Mu looked at Chi Xia with a smile. You still havent told me how the two of you ended up together! Watch your words. What do you mean were together? Im making up for the mistake I made after drinking. Its because you said how much I vomited that night that I felt guilty. Chi Xia pouted. Xiaxia, Su Chen is single. If its possible Qiao Mu was unwilling to give up. Before Qiao Mu could finish her sentence, Chi Xia interrupted her. No! Why did you deny it so quickly? Qiao Mu frowned. Xiaxia, its been a few months. You should give up now. Since youve decided to let go, hanging yourself like this isnt a solution. Chi Xias face darkened. I know, dont say it, Mu Mu. She was worried that she would not be able to suppress her emotions if she mentioned this matter again. Qiao Mu sighed and did not continue. There was a row of wine sses on the coffee table. The wine sses were filled with red wine for the guests to drink. Chi Xia picked up a ss of wine and downed it with her head raised. She was still feeling depressed, so she continued to drink the second ss. Qiao Mu raised her hand to stop him. Dont drink anymore. Have you forgotten how much you suffered after drinking too muchst time?! Its fine. I only need to get drunk once. I know what to do. Chi Xia swirled the wine in her ss and started drinking again. When Su Chen walked over, he saw a few empty wine sses in front of Chi Xia. Looking at her flushed face, he could tell that she had drunk quite a bit. Qiao Mu stood up. Young Master Su, Xiaxia identally drank a few more sses, but shes still conscious. Can you send her home? Chi Xia waved her hand. No need, I can go back by myself. How can that be! Qiao Mu helped her up and shoved her in front of Su Chen. Thank you, Young Master Su. Dont worry, Xiaxia wont throw up this time. She only drank a little. Su Chen caught a whiff of alcohol and furrowed his brows. He stared at Chi Xia for a while before finally taking her from Qiao Mus hands and helping her out. Qiao Mu walked to Li Yans side and asked worriedly, Uncle, can you let Su Chen send Xiaxia back to the dormitory? Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. Whats there to worry about? Are you worried that he will sell her? Be serious. Im just worried that Xiaxia isnt sober right now. If she gets drunk What about that? Li Yan chuckled softly. Little thing, do you think everyone is like you? Do you think theyll treat me so casually after drinking? Qiao Mu was speechless. Casually? He still had the cheek to talk about her! Shouldnt she be the one saying this? He was clearly the one who did whatever he wanted! Li Yans smile deepened when he saw the little womans flushed face. Alright, the banquet will end in a while. If youre tired, go sit on the sofa and rest. If you feel that its noisy here, you can go upstairs to the hotel room and wait for me! Thest two words were extremely ambiguous. Qiao Mus face turned even redder when she met those smiling eyes. She snorted and turned to walk towards the sofa. I dont mind the noise! This man was bing more and more undisguised. He could not even be serious for two minutes before revealing his true nature! Could they still y together happily? Chapter 452 - 452: Don ‘t You Feel Embarrassed Crying on the Street? Chapter 452 - 452: Don t You Feel Embarrassed Crying on the Street? Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia left the banquet hall unsteadily. When she walked out of the hotel, a gust of cold wind blew past her. Not only did she not wake up, she felt even more dizzy. She looked at Su Chen expressionlessly. Mr. Su, you dont have to send me home. I can take a taxi back myself. Are you sure you can do it? She looked drunk. Im not drunk. Why cant I? We agreed to not owe each other anything. Please dont look at me with disdain when you see me again in the future. Goodbye! Su Chen looked at her back as she turned around and left. He narrowed his eyes and walked toward the car. Chi Xia stood by the roadside and hailed a cab. Her ankle was hurting and her new shoes seemed to have caused blisters on her toes. She walked on the steps by the roadside and took out her phone to call a cab. However, just as she sat down, a car stopped in front of her. She looked up and saw Su Chens face in the car. Su Chen looked down at the woman sitting by the roadside. She was like an abandoned puppy, looking pitiful. This woman always gave him this feeling! Get in the car! he said coldly. No need! Chi Xia, there arent any taxis passing by here. Do you want to sit here for the night? Su Chen sounded impatient. The next moment, Chi Xia stood up. Instead of walking to the car, she walked along the road towards the intersection. Su Chen frowned. This woman was really insensible! He had never taken the initiative to send someone away, but he was rejected. Moreover, he was rejected twice in a row! He stepped hard on the elerator and drove past her. Chi Xia pouted as she watched the car drive away. He despised her, but she didnt like him! Every time he saw her, he would look at her with disgust. Didnt she identally vomit on him when she was drunk? She had already apologized! Why couldnt he understand how she felt when she was heartbroken? Lovelorn Chi Xia bit her lip. She did not know if it was because her feet were hurting too much or her heart was hurting, but her steps were very heavy. In the end, she stopped and squatted down weakly, trying to suppress the pain. She took off her shoes, and her toes were already covered in red blisters. She came to attend a banquet, how did she end up in such a sorry state? Suddenly, a sense of helplessness hit her, making her feel down. She remembered that in high school, there was a sports meet where she participated in a sprint. When she was exercising, she rubbed her heel. At that time, Gu Cheng held her foot with a band-aid and said sadly, Xiaxia, how could you be so careless? Dont you know that Ill feel sorry for you if you let yourself get hurt?! His heart would ache! However, he was really magnanimous. He already had a fiance, yet he still felt sorry for her? Did he know that when she found out that he had a fiance, her heart ached so much that she almost suffocated? Chi Xia bit her lip hard and her vision blurred. Suddenly, a car horn sounded beside her ear. She looked up and saw through her tears that the car that had just left had returned. She blinked and her tears fell. With no tears blocking her vision, she could clearly see that the person in the car was indeed Su Chen! The man stared at her with a sharp gaze, and no emotions could be seen in his dark eyes. Chi Xia was stunned. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, took off her shoes, and walked forward barefooted. Chi Xia, dont you feel embarrassed crying on the street without caring about your image? Su Chens voice sounded in the car. None of your business! Chi Xia quickened her pace and turned to the sidewalk, keeping a distance from the car. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain under her feet. She let out a low cry and raised her foot to see a ss shard on the road! Damn it! Why was she so unlucky! Chapter 453 - 453: Let Him Dislike Her! Chapter 453 - 453: Let Him Dislike Her! Trantor: 549690339 In the car, Su Chen frowned and raised his voice slightly. Im saying this for thest time. Get in the car! However, his words did not have any effect. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the woman limping away. Su Chen felt that his patience waspletely worn out at this moment. He opened the car door and got out of the car. He strode over to Chi Xia and grabbed her wrist. Chi Xia, I dont have the patience to waste my time with you! Chi Xias mood was already extremely bad. She was so embarrassed to be seen by this man in such a sorry state! She turned around in retaliation and made a vomiting sound in front of the mans chest. In the next second, Su Chens body froze. He stood there stiffly, not moving at all. Chi Xia raised her head and saw Su Chens face full of expressions. It was full of variety and was very interesting! Pfft She couldnt help butugh out loud. Then, she pushed him away and raised her head tough. Hahahaha I was just teasing you. I really left a shadow in your heart. Youre too funny Su Chen looked down at the clean clothes on his chest and then at the woman who was smiling wildly in front of him. She was still in low spirits just a moment ago, but now her face looked like it was blooming. He pursed his lips and scooped the woman up in his arms before walking to the car. Hey, what are you doing? Let me go! Do you think I want to waste my time here with you? Qiao Mu asked me to send you back. No matter what, shes my sister-inw, so youd better cooperate! As he spoke, Su Chen had already ced Chi Xia in the car and mmea tne door snut. Chi Xia pouted as she watched the man get into the car and start the engine. Arent you afraid that Ill puke in your car? Im warning you, dont ever say that word to me again! Su Chen gritted his teeth. Which word? Chi Xia blinked her eyes as if she didnt know what was going on. After a while, she seemed to have figured it out. You mean the word vomit, right? Vomiting Vomiting Why do you discriminate against this word! Su Chen was speechless. Shut up! Chi Xia was in a good mood when she saw the mans ugly expression! She wanted him to despise her! Su Chen nced at Chi Xia and threw a tissue to her. Wipe your tears. Dont let them fall into my car! The smile on Chi Xias face disappeared. She lowered her head and whispered, 1 couldnt help but shed a tear because my foot hurt too much! After saying that, she was worried that the other party would overthink, so she added, This pair of broken shoes is really too tiring. Dont think too much! Su Chen turned to look at her. Im not thinking about anything. Youre saying so much. Are you saying that theres no silver here? Chi Xia choked, pouted and turned her face away. The car fell silent. After a while, Chi Xia covered her mouth with a tissue. Ugh. Su Chens expression changed and he mmed on the brakes. Dont vomit in my car! Chi Xia removed the tissue from her mouth. Why are you so agitated? I just retched a little. Chi Xia! Su Chens anger had reached its limit! At this moment, he did not throw this woman out of the car. She should really be very d! Chi Xia wiped her mouth with a tissue and said nonchntly, Youre too sensitive. I dont throw up every time I drink. That time, I happened to catch up with your bad luck. Its really not my fault. Su Chen ignored her, toozy to say another word to this woman! Chi Xia leaned backfortably in her seat and fell asleep unknowingly.. Chapter 454 - 454: Secretly Kissing Him Chapter 454: Secretly Kissing Him Trantor: 549690339 The car stopped in the dormitory area of T University. Su Chen turned his head to look to the side and saw a woman with both feet on the seat. She hugged her legs with both hands and curled up on the seat, sleeping soundly. Her toes were red from the friction of her shoes and were covered in scars. He nudged her. Chi Xia, were here! Oh The sleeping woman grunted, turned her head to the other side, and continued to sleep. Chi Xia! Dont disturb me Su Chen looked at the woman sleeping soundly and then at her bare feet. He pursed his lips and started the car. He really felt that he was doing charity tonight. Tomorrow, he would definitely demand mentalpensation from his elder brother and send this woman Su Chen brought Chi Xia to his private apartment and carried her home from the car. The woman in his arms did not react at all like a pig! He entered the room and ced the pig in his arms on the bed. He was about to leave when his arm was grabbed. Dont go The woman on the bed groaned indistinctly and hugged his arm tightly, refusing to let go. Su Chen frowned. Let go! WhyGu Cheng .. Su Chens face darkened instantly. This woman treated him as her ex-boyfriend? He shook her off and left the room in big strides. That night, the banquet was not over until veryte, and Qiao Mu was so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes. Li Yan could not leave, and Qiao Mu could not take it anymore. She could only book a room in the hotel and sleep for a while. After Li Yan was done with his work, he returned to his room and saw that the little woman was sleeping soundly. He did not have the heart to wake her up. This little thing was still in the mood to sleep after being separated from him for so long! Hey down beside her, and the little woman leaned over in a daze, her body soft as she leaned into his embrace. Li Yan felt his body tense up. This little thing was starting to torture her again! At this moment, the little woman opened her eyes with a frown and rubbed herself against his chest. Uncle, I want Upon hearing this, Li Yan felt the blood in his body boil. However, before he could react, he heard the woman in his arms spit out two words again... Drink some water. She wanted water! The corner of Li Yans eyes twitched violently. He picked up the water from the bedside and brought it to Qiao Mus mouth. Qiao Mu raised her head in a daze and drank two mouthfuls of water ording to his movements. Then, she tilted her head and continued sleeping in his arms! Li Yan sighed helplessly. He turned off the lights and hugged the little woman to sleep. The next day, Qiao Mu woke up refreshed and stretched. It was rare to see that the man beside her was still there. She turned sideways to look at the mans sleeping face. His handsome features were impable. At this moment, his eyes were closed, and his long eyshes were even, casting a shadow on his eyelids. She raised her hand and gently touched his eyshes. Seeing that the man didnt react, she moved his eyebrows again. Then, she held his face and gently moved over to kiss his lips. It was just like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, but the man still did not react. She kissed him again as if it was fun. As if she felt that this kind of lip contact was too monotonous, she stuck out her tongue and licked his lips. As if she had done something bad, she immediately retracted her head after licking it and buried her face in the pillow in embarrassment. When the man still did not respond, Qiao Mu then boldly licked him again. He felt a sense of aplishment just thinking about being teased by her while he was asleep. He couldnt help butugh.. Chapter 455 - 455: I Know You Miss Me, I Miss You Too Chapter 455: I Know You Miss Me, I Miss You Too Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu happily teased the sleeping Li Yan. She stared at his closed eyes and tried to take advantage of him again. However, this time, her tongue had just reached out and did not touch his lips. In the next second, her lips were bitten. Qiao Mu froze, and then she saw the mans tightly shut eyes slowly open. Qiao Mu instantly felt a sense of shame as if she had been caught cheating, and her face instantly flushed red! Why did he wake up just like that? He didnt even put her on guard! However, the man did not give her any chance to react. He grabbed her waist with one hand and pressed the back of her head with the other. He flipped over and pressed her under his body. Kisses came from all directions. This man had just woken up. How could he be so crazy without any need to calm down? When she met the mans eyes, she was shocked to find that his eyes were dark and bright. He did not look like he had just woken up. He did not look sleepy at all. He had woken up long ago? Qiao Mu felt like she was being yed. Was he deliberately being teased by her? Damn it! She thought that he was extremely happy that she had stolen a kiss from him, but in the end, he was enjoying it quietly! Early in the morning, Li Yans body was set on fire. It could be said that the fire had not been extinguished the entire night. Actually, when she touched his eyshes just now, he had already woken up. He quietly closed his eyes and wanted to see what she would do while he was sleeping. However, he did not expect her to light a fire for him like this! Looking down at her flushed face, Li Yan chuckled softly. Youre so proactive so early in the morning. Little thing, weve only been apart for a few days and youre already so eager? I didnt! Be good. I know you miss me. I miss you too Thest word was buried between their lips. Qiao Mu was in a daze as she reflected on his words. This was the first time he had said such sweet words like he missed her, but could he not say it with a hint? However, in the next second, a certain man began to use his actions to prove how much he missed her! Then, he spent the entire morning on this embarrassing matter. Qiao Mu felt especially guilty. He was simply too depraved! The waiter brought lunch to the room. Li Yan returned to the bedroom and looked at the little woman who was sleeping soundly. He patted her face gently. Be good. Get up and eat. Yes Qiao Mu responded, but she had no intention of getting up at all. Im so tired, so sleepy, and so hungry! Eat first, then sleep. Seeing that the little woman did not react, Li Yan reached hisrge hand into the nket. If you want to continue lying on the bed, I dont mind continuing with what happened just now Before Li Yan could finish his sentence, Qiao Mu had already opened her eyes and red at him with a red face. Beast! Ill take it that youreplimenting your man! . How was this apliment! It was clearly a derogatory term! Qiao Mu pushed him away with a red face. Go out first. I want to get dressed. Li Yan nced at the outline of her body under the nket and chuckled softly. Tell me, which part of your body have I not seen and touched AhShut up, shut up! Qiao Mu shrieked and interrupted, her face as red as blood. Qiao Mu lifted the nket and covered her head to hide her shyness. The smile on Li Yans face deepened. This little woman was really shy. She was already so close to him, but she still blushed so easily.. Chapter 456 - 456: Sincere Apologize Chapter 456: Sincere Apologize Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan got up and left the bedroom, and Qiao Mu finally crawled out from under the nket. This beast had really broken the bottom line of beasts! Qiao Mu slowly got out of bed and identally saw a ne ticket pop out of Li Yans pocket on the clothes rack beside the door. He took it out casually and took a look. It was Li Yans return ticket from a business trip. He was about to throw it into the trash can when he noticed the time on the ticket. A flight at ten in the morning? It would only take an hour for Li Yan to fly back from A City. In other words, he would be back at 11 0clock. However, when he called her around 12 0clock, he said that he was not back yet! Qiao Mu frowned. He actually hid his return from her? She was about to take the ne ticket to question the person in question when she suddenly recalled the contents of his phone call. He asked her where she was, who she was eating with, and whether it was a man or a woman. She didnt pay attention at that time, but now that she thought about it, she realized that his tone and attitude were a little strange. Could it be..At that time, was he near her? He knew that she was with Han Su, which was why he asked so carefully. However, she answered vaguely, Then, the man left angrily! Qiao Mu was a little uncertain. ording to Li Yans personality, he would not just leave like that! When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw the man cing the dishes on the table and waving at her.Come over for dinner. Uncle, when did youe back yesterday? Hmm? Why are you suddenly asking this? I want to know. You didnt tell me. Qiao Mu stared at the man and then heard his voice. 1 got off the ne at noon. As expected! Li Yan thought that the little woman would be very unhappy and ask him why he was hiding it from her. However, things did not go as he expected. The petite figure walked around the table and came in front of him. Her soft body leaned over and hugged his waist. Uncle, I was wrong. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Hmm? I shouldnt have lied to you. Yesterday afternoon, I was having lunch with Senior Han Su. Because of the exchange student matter, I troubled him for so long, so I treated him to a meal to express my gratitude. When you called me, I didnt tell you the truth because I was worried that you would be jealous. I didnt lie on purpose, really! Qiao Mu exined, seemingly worried that he wouldnt believe her, so she raised her little hand. I swear, you have to believe me! Initially, Li Yan thought that since she had mentioned this matter, he would settle the score with her. However, he did not expect her to confess without being forced. She confessed to him to show her loyalty and her attitude of admitting her mistake was very sincere. Her big eyes were wide open as she stared at him, waiting for his response. The way she raised her hand to swear made him feel a little helpless. This little woman was really worried that he would misunderstand. In an instant, the little bit of dissatisfaction in his heart disappearedpletely. He raised his hand and patted her head. Eat first. Qiao Mus brows furrowed, and her small face scrunched up into a ball. Uncle, you dont believe me? His reaction was very abnormal! Why hadnt he mentioned anything about this sincest night? It was as if nothing had happened! Qiao Mu had witnessed this mans strong possessiveness, so she felt that his calm behavior was very off. Could it be that after he had won her heart, he did not take her seriously? Chapter 457 - 457: Taking Her Feelings into Care Chapter 457: Taking Her Feelings into Care Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan suddenly wanted to tease this little woman. What if I dont believe you? If you dont believe me, Illlm ignoring you! Qiao Mu snorted and turned her small face to the side, fuming. Li Yanughed. I should be the one angry. I should be the one ignoring you. Try ignoring me! Ill tell auntie and let her teach you a lesson, you unfilial son! Unfilial? Thats right. If you dont treat me well, Auntie will be unhappy. So you indirectly made Auntie sad. If thats not unfilial, then what is? Little thing, are you trying to use Mom to threaten me now? I wouldnt dare! If you ignore me, I wont want you anymore. When the timees, Ill acknowledge auntie as my godmother and be your sister. Ill find you a brother-inw and anger you to death! At this point, Qiao Mu was a little arrogant because she saw a certain mans expression change! How dare you! This little thing, it had been a long time since he had taught her a lesson. She was so arrogant in front of him and dared to say anything! Qiao Mu raised her chin. Are you scared? Do you still believe me? Li Yan pulled the little woman into his arms and said helplessly, lf I really didnt believe you, I wouldnt have pretended that nothing had happened when I saw that scene. Then why did you leave without saying a word when you saw me? Im worried that when I go over, Ill get Han Su in a fit of anger. Wouldnt that make you unhappy? He had restrained the anger in his heart and chose to believe her, which was why he had chosen to leave. Qiao Mu was speechless. Seeinz the mans serious expression, Qiao Mu wanted to take back her words. Who said that this man didnt take her seriously! His behavior meant that she cared about him even more! Because he was concerned about her feelings, he restrained his temper before he acted rashly. Compared to the man who would throw tantrums without listening to her exnation in the past, he hadpletely be a considerate and good man who cared for her! Qiao Mus heart instantly felt warm, and a sense of aplishment surged out of her. Qiao Mu hooked her arms around the mans neck and acted coquettishly. Uncle, youre so nice! Youre so good to me. I feel so unreal! A smile shed across Li Yans eyes as he said calmly, Unreal? Then lets go back to our room and review it. That more direct and true way of expressing yourself? Relive your sister! Qiao Mu immediately jumped down from the mans embrace and ate her meal obediently. After the meal, Qiao Mu and Li Yan were about to leave the hotel when Li Yans phone rang. He picked up the call and listened for a while before looking at Qiao Mu and saying softly, Mumu, the hospital called. Qiao Jiannan is awake. Qiao Mus eyes widened. She was caught off guard by the surprise! Half an hourter, Qiao Mu rushed to the hospital. The doctor came out of the ward after he finished his treatment and instructed, The patients condition is not stable now. We should avoid being agitated. If theres anything, well talk about it after his body has stabilized. Qiao Mu nodded and entered the ward. Walking to the bedside, Qiao Mu looked at Qiao Jiannans haggard face and said softly, Daddy, Im Qiao Mu. Mu Mu Qiao Jiannan grabbed Qiao Mus hand, and his voice became a little hurried. Wheres Yu Tingyun? Shes the one who caused me Dad, calm down first. Yu Tingyun was sentenced for tax evasion. She caused you to not get any evidence. Dad, dont worry about anything now. Take care of your body first.. Chapter 458 - 458: Qiao Jiannan Is Awake Chapter 458 - 458: Qiao Jiannan Is Awake Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus tone was very light when she mentioned Yu Tingyun, afraid that she would agitate Qiao Jiannan. Not only did she harm me, but she also Qiao Jiannan was extremely agitated. The woman he had lived with for more than twenty years had suddenly changed her temperament and almost caused his death. How could he not be agitated? Qiao Mu gently held Qiao Jiannans hand. Dad, the Qiao Corporation is fine now. Yu Tingyun will pay for everything she has done. As long as you recover, you can use her ofmitting a crime, so the most important thing now is to recover. Qiao Jiannan nodded. After all, he hadnt recovered much and soon fell asleep again. Qiao Mu walked out of the ward and stood in front of Li Yan. Li Yan patted her head. Weve been together for so many years. We wont break uppletely just because were not rted by blood. Dont worry. Yes! Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes and smiled. As long as Qiao Jiannan woke up, everything would be fine! In the next few days, Qiao Mu would visit Qiao Jiannan at the hospital every day. Due to the treatment being particrly effective, Qiao Jiannans body recovered very quickly. In a few days, he would be able to remove the oxygen mask and return to his normal state. That afternoon, Qiao Mu arrived at the hospital after ss and saw two police officers in the ward. When Qiao Mu entered the ward, she heard the police say, Mr. Qiao, youll be the witness for this matter, which will save us a lot of trouble. Well hand your statement to the court and let the criminal be dealt with. After the police officer left the ward, Qiao Mu was a little surprised. Dad, whats going on? The police contacted the hospital. When they found out that I had woken up, they came over to record my statement. I told the police everything that that woman had done to me, Qiao Jiannan exined. Dad, leave the rest to the police. Dont think too much about it. Sigh, I never thought that I would be deceived by Yu Tingyun for so many years. Mu Mu, thank you for your hard work. I brought you home with the intention of giving you a good life. If Yu Tingyun hadnt told me, I wouldnt have known how much youve suffered all these years. Qiao Jiannan looked guilty. Qiao Mu felt a lump in her throat. Dad, Im not suffering at all. Compared to living with Zhou Jieru, Im already very lucky to be able to stay in the Qiao family. At the mention of Zhou Jieru, Qiao Mu lowered her eyes. Theres something Ive been looking for an opportunity to tell you. Actually, Zhou Jieru Before Qiao Mu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a scream from the door. Daddy, youre awake! Then, Qiao Ya rushed into the room. Qiao Yas expression changed drastically when she saw Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, why are you here?! You made a mess of our family. Do you still want to use your fake identity to cheat the Qiao family of their money? Qiao Jiannan scolded, Xiao Ya, shut up! Its fine if your mother is against Mumu, but Mumu is your biological sister. Youve bullied her behind my back for so many years. Ill settle the score with youter! Daddy, dont be deceived by Qiao Mu! Shes not my sister at all! Shes not your biological daughter! What did you say? Qiao Jiannans eyes widened in anger. How dare you say such a thing! Qiao Ya pounced onto the bed and pointed at Qiao Mu fiercely. Dad, if you dont believe me, you can ask her yourself! You can do a paternity test.. Her cheap mother admitted it herself! Chapter 459 - 459: You ‘ve Never Been Alone (1) Chapter 459 - 459: You ve Never Been Alone (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Jiannan frowned. He did not believe Qiao Yas words at all. He pointed at Qiao Ya angrily. Get lost! How could I have a daughter like you? Ive woken up for so many days and you didnte to see me. Now that youre here, youre saying such disgraceful things. You Daddy! Im telling the truth! Dont be fooled by that b * tch Qiao Mu! Qiao Ya angrily pointed at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, why arent you saying anything?! Do you have no excuses? Qiao Jiannan was so angry that he panted heavily. He picked up the apple on the table and threw it at Qiao Ya. Youre trying to piss me off! Qiao Mu patted Qiao Jiannans back. Calm down, dont be angry. Listen to me Slowly! Seeing that Qiao Jiannans emotions had calmed down a little, Qiao Mu finally spoke, Actually, I wanted to tell you about this just now. You just woke up, and I was worried that you wouldnt be able to ept it, so I dyed telling you. On the day Yu Tingyun was arrested, Zhou Jieru admitted that she brought me from the orphanage to cheat the Qiao family of their money. Qiao Yas lips curled into a smile as she felt extremely happy! Qiao Jiannan widened his eyes in disbelief. What did you say? How is this possible? Qiao Ya shot Qiao Mu a disdainful nce and seized the opportunity to speak. Dad, Im telling the truth. This Qiao Mu has nothing to do with our family. Our family has be like this because of her! Shut up! Qiao Jiannan roared and leaned weakly against the pillow behind him. His eyes stared straight at the ceiling. Zhou Jieru lied to me for so many years for money! Then What about my daughter? Qiao Mu felt extremely ufortable in her heart. Before she could speak, she heard Qiao Ya disapprovingly say, What daughter? Dad, Im your only daughter! Zhou Jieru had a miscarriage back then! Qiao Jiannan couldnt stand the provocation and started coughing violently. Qiao Mu red at Qiao Ya coldly when she saw how angry Qiao Jiannan was. Dont you know that Daddys body cant be stimted?! Do you have to tell him in this way? Qiao Ya snorted. Im telling the truth! You seduced Li Yan, used him to attack Yu Corporation, and sent my mother to prison. Qiao Mu, its all your fault! You still have the cheek to pretend to be a good person here. Disgusting! Let me tell you, dont even think about getting a single cent from the Qiao family! Qiao Jiannan pressed his hand on his chest and shouted,Get lost! Get out! Qiao Ya was delighted. Did you hear that? Qiao Mu, hurry up and scram! Youre really thick-skinned, and . I told you to get lost! Qiao Jiannan red at Qiao Ya angrily. Get out! Qiao Ya widened her eyes in disbelief. Dad, are you kidding me? Im your biological daughter, Qiao Mu is the outsider! Are you out of your mind? You Qiao Jiannan was so angry that he couldnt say anything. He picked up the cup beside him and threw it at Qiao Ya. Get out! Qiao Ya jumped up high in fright. She red at Qiao Mu fiercely and walked out of the ward unwillingly! Her father was really muddle-headed. He was still siding with Qiao Mu at a time like this! In the ward, Qiao Mu watched as Qiao Jiannan panted heavily to calm himself down. With her head lowered, she said, You must hate me for being deceived for so many years. Qiao Jiannan closed his eyes. How can I not understand? This isnt your fault.. Its all that Zhou Jierus fault! If I hadnt made a mistake back then, I wouldnt have been deceived by Zhou Jieru! I didnt expect that my entire life would be ruined in the hands of two women! Chapter 460 - 460: You I ve Never Been Alone (2) Chapter 460 - 460: You I ve Never Been Alone (2) Trantor: 549690339 Sighing, Qiao Jiannan patted Qiao Mus hand. Child, thank you for taking care of me in the hospital these past few days. I know you were worried that my body wouldnt be able to ept this fact, so you didnt tell me. Actually, Ive asked the doctor, and the doctor said that the reason why I could recover so quickly was because the Li family invited a famous United States doctor. I also know that thepany relied on the Li family to maintain its current situation. I believe that the Li familys involvement has something to do with you. You didnt ignore the Qiao family just because were not rted by blood. How can I treat our father-daughter rtionship for so many years as if it doesnt exist? Qiao Mus nose felt sour, and she felt a wave of gratitude in her heart. Ive always been worried that youd think Im a liar after you found out. Im not an old fool. Mumu, no matter what, Ive always treated you as my daughter. Qiao Mus eyes moistened, and she couldnt help but call out, Daddy! Good child! Mu Mu, dont be calctive with Xiao Ya. This child isnt a bad person. Perhaps its because of her mothers matter that she was a little agitated. Dont take what she wants to say to heart. Yes, I will. Qiao Mu walked out of the ward, and Qiao Ya came up to her in a huff. Qiao Mu, what did you say to my father? You caused my mother to be like this, and you still want to snatch my father away! Qiao Mu looked at him coldly. Qiao Ya, you should wake up. The person lying in the ward is your father! Your mother almost killed him! You saw it with your own eyes. Everything shes doing now is the price she should pay. No one forced her! If you really want Dad to treat you well, thene to the hospital more often to take care of him in the future. Dont always talk nonsense! Qiao Yas face paled. She gritted her teeth as she watched Qiao Mu leave. Qiao Mu was right. Her mother had indeed harmed her father, but her family was destroyed just like that. She was unwilling to ept this! After Qiao Mu left the hospital, she went straight to Li Yanspany. After entering the office, she threw herself into Li Yans arms. Whats wrong? Li Yan put down his work and wrapped his arms around her body. He looked at her with a smile. Uncle, Ive confessed to my father. He still wants me as his daughter! Qiao Mu hugged Li Yans neck excitedly, and her eyes reddened. I still have rtives. Im not an orphan! Hearing her heartbreaking tone, Li Yan sighed. Silly girl, youre never alone. You still have me! Qiao Mu nodded, feeling warm in her heart. She felt that all her bad luck had been wiped out in the past decade or so, and she was so lucky now. Li Yan lowered his head and looked at her. He thought of something and said softly, Yu Tingyuns case has been closed in court. Qiao Mu was stunned. How did you decide? The charges of attempted murder and tax evasion added up to a total of seven years. Seven years! Yu Tingyun had paid the price for everything she had done. Ever since Qiao Jiannan woke up, he had not seen Yu Tingyun. Yu Tingyun was in prison, and Qiao Ya had repeatedly asked to see him. Qiao Mu was worried that Qiao Jiannan would be provoked again after he went. After all, Yu Tingyun would jump over a wall in a fit of anxiety, and she didnt know what she would say. Hence, Qiao Mu went to visit the prison on Qiao Jiannans behalf. Li Yan sent Qiao Mu to prison and asked worriedly, Shall I go in with you? Qiao Mu smiled and shook her head. Theres no need, Uncle. Im just here to visit Yu Tingyun on behalf of my father. She cant hurt me anymore. [Today is the New Year in the North. Happy New Year Suying is going home for the holidays. Come back and update tonight..] Chapter 461 - 461: He Doesn’t Put You in His Heart at All Chapter 461 - 461: He Doesnt Put You in His Heart at All Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu arrived at the visiting room. After a while, Yu Tingyun was brought out. The woman who had always maintained her noble temperament was now wearing a prison uniform and had long lost her previous luster. Yu Tingyun looked so haggard after not seeing her for a while. She seemed to have be a different person, as if she had aged ten years. Qiao Mu saw the other party looking over with anticipation, and when his gazended on her, his expression suddenly changed. Through the ss, Yu Tingyun had yet to sit down and kept looking behind Qiao Mu. Why is it you? Wheres Jiannan? Why didnt Jiannane? Qiao Mu said expressionlessly, My father wont being. He has nothing to say to you. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Ill pass it on to him. Qiao Mu, youre really amazing to be able to trick Jiannan into acknowledging a woman whos not rted to you by blood! You must have stopped Jiannan froming to see me. You asked Jiannan toe to see me! Daddy! Yu Tingyuns face turned ugly. A hint of coldness shed across Qiao Mus eyes. See you? Yu Tingyun, you almost killed my father. How can you face him? Yu Tingyun clenched her fists. I Imow youre here to make a fool of me, but dont be too smug for too long. Id like to see how long you can rely on Li Yan. Hell abandon you sooner orter. By then, youll be worthless! Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyuns jealous expression and said nonchntly, Thank you for your reminder. If you have nothing else to say, Ill take my leave. Wait a minute! Yu Tingyun sneered at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, I think theres something that youll be very interested in. You only know that I stole Qiao Jiannans medicine when he fell ill, but you dont know why he fell ill! Qiao Mu paused. My father was angered by you. Thats right. Part of the reason is that Im angry with him. The most important reason is that he received a message. Someone told him that I moved the Qiao Corporations funds, which caused his blood pressure to rise. Do you know who told him about this? It was Li Yan! Li Yan wanted to destroy the Yu Corporation, so he wanted to destroy my rtionship with Jiannan! Qiao Mu furrowed her brows. Thats what you wanted to say? Whats wrong with telling my father about what you did? Qiao Mu, Li Yan doesnt take you seriously at all. Perhaps he likes you now, but he doesnt take you to heart at all! Why was that message so timely? In fact, Li Yan had nned all of this. He knew that I was with Qiao Jiannan at that time, so he sent a message to add fuel to the fire. In order to avenge Yu Yiduo, he couldnt wait for me to kill Qiao Jiannan and then use me of murder. He didnt care about Qiao Jiannans life at all. He only wanted to achieve his goal! Yu Tingyun smiled happily. Qiao Mu, keep dreaming. Actually, youre not that important to Li Yan. Youre worthless in front of benefits! So, you dont have to be arrogant here! Qiao Mu looked at Yu Tingyun expressionlessly. Are you done? Im leaving now. You You dont believe me? Or do you actually only have benefits and no feelings for Li Yan? Qiao Mu, you slut, youll suffer retribution Yu Tingyun became more and more agitated as she spoke. She stood up and the prison guard immediately came forward to hold her down. Chapter 462 - 462: Time Will Prove Everything Chapter 462 - 462: Time Will Prove Everything Trantor: 549690339 As Qiao Mu walked out of the prison, her mind was filled with Yu Tingyuns crazy face and her words. She walked to the car by the roadside and opened the door. She saw Li Yan sitting in the car with aptop on hisp. His hands were typing quickly on the keyboard as if he was working. Even though this man was very busy, he still apanied her to the prison because he was worried that she would go see Yu Tingyun. She was actually swayed by Yu Tingyuns words. She raised her hand and pped her head hard. She must have lost her mind! Li Yan raised his head and saw Qiao Mu pping herself. He raised his eyebrows. Why? When did you start showing symptoms of self-abuse? Qiao Mu got into the car. My brain isnt clear. Knocking on it will wake me up a little. What did he say to Yu Tingyun? Li Yan closed hisptop and turned to look at her. Nothing. She wanted to see my father. She was just disappointed and angry that she didnt see him. Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans shoulder. Uncle, Yu Tingyun also said that you dont take me seriously and that youll dump me sooner orter. Li Yan looked down at the little woman. She rested her chin on his shoulder and blinked her big eyes at him. He raised his hand and caressed her nose. Time will prove everything. Qiao Mu was stunned, but she grinned and nodded vigorously. Yes, time would prove everything! She didnt need him to swear to her that he would be good to her forever. Vows that came out of his mouth would always seem frivolous. She didnt want to evaluate his feelings for her from other peoples mouths. She could feel it herself! In the evening, he returned to the Li family home. Before he entered the house, he heard Yu Yiduos voice, Why are you so selfish? Youre so happy to manage such a bigpany, but you dont let me participate. Im the chairman of Yu Corporation now. How can I continue to eat, drink, and have fun every day? I want to start a nine-to-five life, wake up early and sleepte. I want to manage my Yu Corporation myself! Im a man and youre a woman. How can youpare? Your greatest ability is to have fun. If you dont have that ability, dont think too much. Your brain is tired. You You look down on me! Im telling the truth. Also, the chairman is just a decoration. Do you think Im that busy as the chairman of the Li Corporation? Thepanys matters are all handed over to the CEO. The chairman should act like a chairman! Qiao Mu, who was standing at the door, twitched her lips and looked at Li Yan sympathetically. His father pushed everything onto him, so it would be strange if he wasnt busy! Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand and entered the house. Yu Yiduo immediately came up to him. Son, Mu Mu, youre back! You guys judge for me, isnt he especially unreasonable? Mom, this job doesnt suit you, Li Yan said helplessly. Just listen to Dad. You Are you my son or not?! Yu Yiduo snorted and looked at Qiao Mu. Mumu, what do you think? Youre on Mommys side, right? Qiao Mu thought about it and nodded. Actually, I think its a good thing that Auntie is ambitious. If you want to do it, you can give it a try. Yu Yiduos eyes lit up. Look, she is indeed my daughter. I have raised my son for so many years in vain! Li Zheng snorted. Career-minded? I don t want a strong woman like Yu Tingyun to be my wife. Qiao Mu was helpless. She looked at Li Yan. Indeed, this man had the same thoughts as her father. It seemed that women should eat, drink, y, and enjoy life every day. Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo started arguing again. [Later,ter, update before 12 0clock..] Chapter 463 - 463: What If You Don’t Want Me in the Future … 1 Chapter 463 - 463: What If You Dont Want Me in the Future 1 Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan and Qiao Mu went upstairs to change. Qiao Mu looked at the man beside her and asked, Uncle, dont you support your mother in developing her career? My mom is just a three-minute hot topic. My dad knows what kind of person she is. She lost interest after working for a few days, so he stopped her. Li Yan said calmly. But if you stop her like this, it will only make her feel rebellious and make her want to do it even more. Anyway, its just a temporary interest of hers. Why dont you let her give it a try? Shell give up after her poprity dies down. If we let her manage the Yu Corporation, doesnt that mean that she wont be returning to the United States for a while? Dont you think its disturbing our alone time if she stays here? (Xiao Mus lips twitched. Uncle, thats your biological mother! Is it really okay for you to dislike her like this? Qiao Mu hugged Li Yans waist. Actually, I still think that Uncle should respect Aunties thoughts. Auntie will only be happy if she gets what she wants. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. Youre already so considerate before you even get married? My mother didnt dote on you for nothing. Qiao Mu blushed and snorted. Of course! If you dont want me anymore in the future, Ill go and acknowledge auntie as my mother. Ill hug aunties thigh and have meat to eat! Little thing, youve settled your score. Unfortunately, you wont have the chance. Qiao Mu was stunned and blinked at him. He said that she had no chance. Did he mean that he would not abandon her, or did he mean that she had no chance to acknowledge auntie as her mother? After that, Li Zheng and Li Yan unanimously agreed to let Yu Yiduo develop her career. Yu Yiduo was overjoyed, so she decided to stay here tonight and sleep with Qiao Mu to talk about her career dreams. Yu Yiduos decision made the two mens expressions turn ugly. Only Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo chatted andughed the entire night. Li Zheng snorted at Li Yan. In the future, before you marry your wife, dont bring her home casually. Itll interfere with my wife and my life. Li Yan also snorted coldly. If you bring your wife home every night, you wont be able to marry your daughter-inw. His mother was hogging his woman all day long. It would be strange if he was hnnnvl However, Qiao Mu ignored Li Yans unhappiness. When it was time to sleep, she followed Yu Yiduo into the bedroom early to sleep. Yu Yiduo was in high spirits, and after speaking with fervor and assurance for a long time, Qiao Mu was half-asleep. Yu Yiduo was still talking to herself when the door was pushed open. She saw Li Yan standing at the door. Mom, Dad has something to say to you. Whats the matter? Well talk about it tomorrow! You can tell Qiao Mu about your career development. She wont understand. If you want to talk about it, talk to my dad. Yu Yiduo got off the bed and walked to the door to re at Li Yan. Go to the guest room and sleep. Ille back after Im done talking to your father. Just as Yu Yiduo left the room, Li Yan had already stepped into the room. He closed the door and locked it! Yu Yiduo was speechless. This darn child, hugging Mu Mu to sleep every day, he couldnt let her have it for even a day! Li Yan saw that Qiao Mu had fallen asleep, so he quietly climbed onto the bed and pulled the little woman into his arms. Qiao Mu thought that the person beside her was Yu Yiduo, so she opened her eyes involuntarily when she was hugged. When she saw Li Yans face, she called out uncertainly, Uncle? Mm. The mans deep voice traveled into Qiao Mus ears, instantly confirming that the person beside her was him. She snuggled into his embrace. Has Auntie left? His fingers casually wrapped around her hair and his tone was filled with dissatisfaction. You seem very happy that youre not sleeping with me.. Chapter 464 - 464: What If You Don’t Want Me in the Future … 2 Chapter 464: What If You Dont Want Me in the Future 2 Trantor: 549690339 No! Qiao Mu felt extremely wronged. She blinked and said coquettishly, Uncle, can I discuss something with you? Li Yan looked at her. It was obvious that she was trying to please him. It was definitely not a good thing. Uncle, she continued, I want to move back to the dormitory. I have too many sses every day. Its not convenient for me to rush back. Yu Yiduos incident made Qiao Mu realize that she could not just stay by Li Yans side all day long. She had to focus on her studies now. Only after she graduated would she have more confidence to do what she liked. However, just as she finished speaking, Li Yan frowned unhappily. Its not convenient? Whats so inconvenient about picking you up and sending you off? You dont know, but our school has evening self-study sessions. Many times, I skip ss and go home because its toote after the evening self-study sessions. Im with you all day and Im bing more and more of a rice worm. I want to finish my studies first. So, you think that being with me has caused you to fall? I dont mean that, but Im a student now. I have to put my studies first! You have to respect me like how uncle respects auntie! No! Uncle, we still have a lot of time together. Its not like were going to be separated now. We have two days together in a week. Just agree! Theres no room for discussion! He had been on a business trip for a week. He missed her so much that he wanted to fly back to see her. If he had to be separated every day, it would be aplete torture for him! Qiao Mus small face scrunched up. Uncle, you cant be so overbearing. Im still a student. If you dont let me study properly and stick to you all day, Ill be eliminated by society if I dont have a skill after graduation! You have me. You wont die. What if you dont want me anymore in the future? What should I do? Theres no such thing as a what-if! But who knows what will happen in the future? When Xiaxia was with her first love, she thought they would graduate together and get married, but they broke upter. There were too many examples like this. One of my male ssmates chased a girl from junior high to university. He thought he would only like this girl for the rest of his life, but not long ago, he found another girl! Li Yans eyes darkened. So, by giving these examples, youre saying that well take the same path as them? * Cough * Qiao Mu felt the mans expression change! She immediately shook her head. No, Im just saying what if! Alright, alright. Even if were together for the rest of our lives, I still have my own dreams to realize, just like Aunties career dream. This is the pursuit of life. After Qiao Mu said so much, Li Yan only heard one sentence. Even if we were to be together forever! Even if? This little woman still refused to believe that they would be together forever! She was still thinking that she would break up with him? Damn it! Why was she so annoying! Li Yan did not want to continue arguing with this woman. He turned around with his back facing her. Sleep! Qiao Mu stared at his back in astonishment. He actually turned around? This man would hug her every night when he slept, with his face facing her. Even when his face was facing her, his arms would still hug her domineeringly in his arms.. Therefore, his actions meant that he was angry! Chapter 465 - 465: Taking the initiative to attack Chapter 465: Taking the initiative to attack Trantor: 549690339 She was just discussing something with him, and he was ignoring her? He even left his back view for her! Qiao Mu stared at his back and snorted heavily. She turned around in a fit of pique and stood with her back to him! However, a certain man was still lying there without moving. He had no intention of responding to her. Qiao Mu only felt the resentment in her heart surge explosively in an instant like a proliferating bacteria! Qiao Mu was already feeling sleepy, but she was full of energy at this moment. After a while, she finally couldnt take it anymore and flipped over. She nudged behind Li Yan and hugged his waist. Uncle, just promise me! However, the man remained silent and did not give her any reply at all. Qiao Mu knew that he did not sleep because he was using this method to tell her his attitude! Qiao Mu climbed up andy on Li Yans body like a little frog. Uncle, please mind me. I didnt ask for anything too much from you. Its just a small request. Am I disturbing your ss? Li Yan asked. You have evening self-study. No matter howte it is, I can pick you up. Theres no discussion about staying in the dormitory! Uncle, this will be very tiring. I dont want to be a burden to you. I just want toplete my studies with the best results. Then think about it. This little thing had no idea that she was never his burden! Qiao Mu was truly infuriated by his cold attitude! Gritting her teeth, she tried to coax him. Facing the mans side profile, she lowered her head and licked his earlobe. Her tone was soft as she said, Uncle Li Yans body instantly tensed up after she touched him. This little woman was ying with fire! Qiao Mu saw that he had no reaction with his sullen face, so she opened her mouth and bit his lip. Then, she blew air into his ears. Uncle There was still no reaction! Qiao Mu continued to lick his neck. Uncle, just promise me. Its not like were separated every day. Distance is the only thing that makes us beautiful. I want us to be even more beautiful. Li Yan listened to the little womans sweet voice. Every time she touched him, his body felt even more ufortable. This was the first time this little woman had taken the initiative to pick his beans! She could make him lose control without doing anything, and at this moment, it was equivalent to taking his illness! Suddenly, there was a strange feeling in his chest, and two small hands began to touch his body! Li Yan controlled his breathing and nced at her. Youre using this trick just to live in a different ce from me? Separated from each other Did he have to exaggerate? He clearly didnt want to be separated from her, but why didnt he have any reaction when she attacked him like this? Qiao Mu had never taken the initiative before, so she never expected that her initiative to attack waspletely without any offensive intent! Instantly, he felt a sense of defeat! Qiao Mu did not give up and continued. She refused to believe that she waspletely useless to him! Just as Qiao Mu was touching Li Yan, the mans body suddenly moved and faced her. She directlyid on his chest. And thenShe felt it Li Yan hooked Qiao Mus chin and smiled. If you want me to agree, be more proactive. If your performance is satisfactory, I can consider it. Qiao Mus face instantly turned red, and she red at him angrily. Li Yan, dont go overboard! Youre the one who went overboard! Little thing, Im the one who takes the initiative every time. Its time for you to perform well.. Chapter 466 - 466: Poor Performance, Failed Chapter 466: Poor Performance, Failed Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan spread out his hands and looked at Qiao Mu, who was blushing, without moving. His attitude was as if he was sayingThe rest is up to you! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and threw caution to the wind. She clumsily began toy her hands on the man. She clumsily kissed his lips. She did not know where to ce her hands, so she could only randomly touch his body. Li Yans body was on the verge of losing control. However, a certain woman blinked her big eyes innocently and asked, Uncle, are you satisfied with my performance? Where is your performance? Do you think its over just like that? Even though Li Yan tried his best to restrain himself, his voice was still hoarse. Qiao Mu blushed as she unbuttoned her shirt. One, twoWhen he reached thest one, his hands were trembling so much that he could not untie it. Seeing the mans impatient and impatient expression, Qiao Mu consoled him considerately, Uncle, itll be done soon. Li Yan had already reached his limit. He suddenly flipped over and the two of them swapped positions. The mans deep voice carried undisguised affection. Your performance was too bad. Youre not qualified! Then, a certain man personally went to the battle! Qiao Mus eyes widened. He, he, heHow could he be so shameless! The next day, after Qiao Mu woke up, she went downstairs to eat. She looked at the man. Uncle, Im going back to the dormitory today. Tomorrow is Monday and I have to go to school as usual. We agreedst night. Who told you? Li Yans expression was indifferent. Tell me what time you finish ss every day. Ill pick you up. Li Yan, why are you so unreasonable? I wont talk to you anymore! Qiao Mu snorted and rushed back to her room. Yu Yiduo came out of the room and asked in confusion, Whats going on? Why are you quarreling so early in the morning? She wants to go back to the dormitory, Li Yan said calmly. She said that her studies are more important. I didnt allow it. Yu Yiduo sat on the sofa and sighed. Although I can understand that you dont want to be separated from Mumu, son, have you ever thought that Mumu is still a student? To her, studies are very important. Besides love, she also needs a career. Even if she is with you, you have no right to deprive her of the life she wants. Li Yan frowned slightly. After a while, he said, I know. I didnt mean to hinder her in any way. I just hope that he can focus on me. He doesnt need to study and earn money at the same time. After ss, she can go home and be with me easily. Yu Yiduo was stunned when she heard Li Yans words. This son of hers had always been very assertive since he was young. He had never told her about his worries, but now, he was directly talking about Qiao Mu. Yu Tingyun feltforted. Son, its a good thing that Mumu is so motivated. Dont be like your father, thinking that women should eat, drink, and y while men can earn money to support their families. Mumu must have a n for her future. What you should do is support all her decisions, not stop her! Shes only 19 years old. Dont let her have any regrets about her past in the future. Li Yan looked up. Mom, do you have any regrets? I, for one, couldnt be happier to be with your father in this life. However, if Yu Tingyun hadnt chased me out of the Yu family, perhaps I would have followed Yu Tingyuns career path. When I was young, your father wanted me to be happy and didnt allow me to manage thepanys matters. Now that Im at this age, Im just enjoying myself. Pausing for a moment, Yu Yiduo smiled. So, dont always stop Mumu. If she gets angry and doesnt want you anymore, where can I find such a good daughter-inw? [Todays update] Chapter 467 - 467: I Don ‘t Want to Be Your Rice Worm (1) Chapter 467: I Don t Want to Be Your Rice Worm (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was sulking in her room when Li Yan walked in. His tall figure sat down beside Qiao Mu. His mouth is almost pouting. Qiao Mu stood up without a word and walked to the balcony to sit down. She was ignoring him! He didnt keep his word and acted shamelessly and unreasonably. This was simply too much! Li Yan stood up helplessly and walked over when he saw the little womans stubborn look. Qiao Mu, dont be childish. Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and was extremely indignant. She only wanted him to respect her thoughts. In his opinion, she was just throwing a childish tantrum! She turned her face away aggrievedly and used her actions to prove how unhappy she was. Li Yan sat beside her and held her small hand with his big hand. Then, he flung his hand away forcefully. He held her hand again, and she shook it again. She red at him angrily. Go away, I dont want to talk to you! Li Yan frowned slightly and pulled the little woman into his arms. Qiao Mu struggled with all her might, but she was no match for Li Yans strong hands. Dont mess around. Didnt you want me to agree? You want me to agree to this kind of attitude? Qiao Mu was slightly startled, and her eyes lit up. You mean Uncle, do you agree? The little womans happy reaction made Li Yan frown. Do you really not want to be with me every day? Thats not true! But I cant neglect my job just because Im with you. Its the same reason why you dont care about yourpany because of me. We both have our own things to do. Qiao Mu stared at Li Yan with her big, bright eyes. Uncle, I dont want to be your rice worm. Li Yan felt a little helpless when he saw the little woman insisting on her own opinion. He did not know if he should be happy that his little woman was so motivated. I can promise you Just as Li Yan opened his mouth, Qiao Mus eyes lit up as she hugged his neck. Really?! Uncle, youre really the best! Youre so understanding and understanding Gentle, considerate, kind-hearted Alright, stop ttering me. This little thing could say anything good when she was happy, but when she was unhappy, she became terrible. Qiao Mu chuckled. I Imew Uncle was good to me! The happier Qiao Mu was, the more unhappy Li Yan was. She was actually so happy that she could not see him every day! His arms around her tightened. Dont be too happy. I have conditions. Please speak! Li Yan nced at her fawning manner. Youre not allowed to sell your fashion design drafts in the future. If youre short of money, you can tell me. Whether its your living expenses or school fees, you can give them all to me. Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest and nodded. Uncle, thank you. I wont sell my designs anymore. Ive already thought about it. I want to submit my designs to a bigpany under my own name. It doesnt matter even if the price is very low. At least this proves that its my work. In the past, she sold it to others privately to make money. Now, she no longer needed to go down that path. Yes, but dont be too tired. You spend more time thinking about me than you do working and studying. Alright! Cant she study hard?! Li Yan paused, and his gazended on Qiao Mus face. Since youve already agreed, shouldnt you do what you promised me? What is it? Li Yans lips curled into a devilish smile. I asked you to perform wellst night, but I wasnt satisfied with your performance. So, well continue tonight! Qiao Mu was speechless. This beast! Chapter 468 - 468: I Don ‘t Want to Be Your Rice Worm (2) Chapter 468: I Don t Want to Be Your Rice Worm (2) Trantor: 549690339 The next day, Qiao Mupletely moved back to the dormitory. Her life returned to normal, and she had sses every day. Her sses were very full. After ss, she spent all her time on fashion design. During this period of time, she had umted a lot of design drafts, and her works were more satisfying than before. Suddenly, she received an email from her previous buyer. He had sent it to her to buy her design drafts. Qiao Mu did not know who this buyer was. She had identally contacted this person called Little T on the website. She showed her work to him, and Little T was very satisfied to buy her work. At that time, Zhou Jieru had asked her for money in various ways, so she sent a draft to him with the mentality of trying it out. In the end, Little T really sent her money. After that, they worked together more often. Every time, she would draw a few drafts and send them directly to Little Ts email. Little T would ept them all and soon transfer the remuneration to her card. The demand was very high, so Qiao Mu guessed that the other party must be a designer from a certainpany who had used her work to pass off as her own. To Qiao Mu, it didnt matter who she sold her work to. The copyright was no longer hers. She was not interested in anything else as long as she received the money. But now, she no longer needed to go down this path, so she naturally wouldnt sell her drafts. Qiao Mu simply replied to the email, saying that she no longer wanted to sell her artwork and that there would be no more opportunities for coboration in the future. However, Little T quickly replied, Is there someone who offered a higher price than me? Your work has already be my unique style. I dont want you to sell it to anyone else. The price can be discussed. It was already very high for Qiao Mu to sell a manuscript for 500 yuan. She did not expect the other party to charge more. Qiao Mu replied: Its not a problem of money. Im not short of money now. Little T: You want to create your own work? You should know howpetitive this industry is. You wont be able to stand out if you use your own name. How about this? Ill give you a design n thats worth four digits. This is a very beneficial choice for you. Qiao Mu was a little surprised. It seemed like the other party really did notck money, but Qiao Mu still replied with two words: Im sorry. After a while, Little T replied, ln that case, I wont force you. However, I have to make it clear in advance that if our works meet in the future, you cant tell others that my works are bought from you. Alright, dont worry. Qiao Mu closed the email and continued drawing. After a while, Chi Xia and Baby Guan returned. Chi Xia looked at her upying the desk and said helplessly, Our dormitory has be crowded since you came back. Why dont you stay with your uncle? Baby Guan, who had just entered, said lightly, I think she was chased out by Young Master Li. Mu Mu is too pitiful. Qiao Mu red at the two women who despised her. Baby, I think youre the one who was chased out, right? Baby Guan snorted. I left willingly! Chi Xia was watching the joke from the side when Qiao Mu suddenly thought of something and asked, Xiaxia, did Su Chen send you back safely before thest banquet? I forgot to ask about this. Chi Xia was stunned and responded with a vague hmm . Baby Guan frowned. Which day did Mumu say? A few days ago, Xiaxia didnte back for one night and only rushed back the next day.. Chapter 469 - 469: I Don’t Want to Be Your Rice Worm (3) Chapter 469: I Dont Want to Be Your Rice Worm (3) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu widened her eyes and jumped up. Xiaxia, that night, you couldnt have been drunk Did you do something? Chi Xia really wanted to shut Baby Guans mouth. She coughed lightly at Qiao Mus fuss and said, Youre overthinking it. That night, I fell asleep in Su Chens car, but he couldnt wake me up, so he brought me to his house. I slept all the way until dawn. Nothing happened between us, so dont make a fuss! Is that really all? Qiao Mu didnt believe it. Chi Xia rolled her eyes. I really didnt do anything bad. I didnt expect Su Chen to be so upright. Chi Xia was speechless. Su Chen was traumatized by her every time he saw her. Even if he wasnt a righteous person, he should be scared off by her, right? Chi Xia changed the topic, Mu Mu, I just saw a message on the school forum. Key is going to hold a fashion design exhibition in the country. Qiao Mu was stunned. Key is holding a design exhibition in the country? When? The date is next week. Its going to be a big one. All the major designpanies will be participating. Oh my god! I have a chance to meet my idol! Qiao Mu was so pleasantly surprised that she almost jumped up. Suddenly, she thought of something and frowned. Such a grand design exhibition doesnt seem to be something that ordinary people can enter! Baby Guan nibbled on an apple. Dont you have your uncle? Qiao Mus eves lit up. and she immediately picked up her Dhone to make a call. At this moment, in the office on the top floor of Li Corporation. Li Yan leaned back in his seat while Lei Yi stood at the side. President, Ive been to the orphanage that Zhou Jieru mentioned. The current director came to the orphanage a few years ago. The director from back then has passed away. We havent found out about Miss Qiaos identity and background yet. Li Yan kowtowed. Find a way to contact the people who were rted to the orphanage back then. We must investigate this matter thoroughly. Lei Yi nodded. President, how should we deal with Zhou Jieru? Li Yans eyes darkened. Isnt she a gambler? Let her lose everything and leave Beijing! Lei Yi responded and went to do it. Bullying Young Master Lis nephew would naturally not have a good ending. Previously, he did noty his hands on Zhou Jieru because she was Qiao Mus biological mother. However, what awaited Zhou Jieru now was only one word:How tragic! Li Yan took out his phone and opened the photo album. He looked at the little woman on the screen. He had seen this photo on Qiao Mus phone, and when she wasnt paying attention, he had sent it to his phone. The little woman took a selfie without makeup. The picture had not been embellished at all, and it was unbelievably fair and cute. Ever since Qiao Mus identity was revealed, she had never mentioned her biological parents, as if they were not important to her at all. However, he knew that she still cared. His little woman yearned for kinship more than anyone else and wanted a happy family more than anyone else. He just wanted to find out her background and fill in the gap in her heart. Li Yan stared at the photo on his phone screen for a while, and a trace of resentment gradually rose in his heart. This little thing did not take him seriously at all. It was already Tuesday, the second day after they parted ways, but she did not call him at all. It was as if she hadpletely forgotten about him! He opened his contact list and was about to call her when he thought that she might be in ss and his call would disturb her. He could only give up the idea. They had only been apart for two days, but Li Yan already regretted letting his little one live a free life! She was free, but she had tortured him! Chapter 470 - 470: Li Yan’s Dissatisfaction Chapter 470 - 470: Li Yans Dissatisfaction Trantor: 549690339 There was a knock on the door. Before he could speak, the office door was pushed open. Li Yan paused. In thepany, no one dared to barge into his office directly. Qiao Mu was the only one who did not follow the rules every time. She did not even check if there was anyone in the office when she barged in and called him uncle. In an instant, a hint of anticipation rose in Li Yans heart. However, when he raised his head and looked at the person who had just entered the room, the expression on his face waspletely shattered. Li Yans change in attitude caused the person to have a lot ofints. Son, what kind of attitude is this? Your mother is not wee? No, Mom. Why are you here? Li Yan said nonchntly. Of course Im here to discuss something with you. Are you waiting for someone? Let me guess, it must be Mu Mu, right? But Mumu is still in school. She definitely wonte here! Yu Yiduo sighed. Son, you cant have been poisoned so deeply, right? Today is Tuesday. There are still three days before Mumu cane back Mom, lets get down to business! How could he not know that there were still three days? No, it should be three and a half days! Yu Yiduo shrugged. Im here to talk to you about the handover of work at Yu Enterprise. Im here today as the chairman of Yu Enterprise, so you should address me as Chairman Yu! Ive been letting Lei Yi take care of Yu Corporations matters. Chairman Yu, Im very busy now. You can look for Lei Yi directly. Li Yans words caused Yu Yiduo to reply with a disapproving Tsk . Youre quite busy. Youre busy thinking about my daughter-inw, arent you? Forget it, I wont disturb you anymore. Just as Yu Yiduo was about to leave, Li Yan stopped her. Mom, wait a minute. Take this back. What is it? Yu Yiduo looked over and saw Li Yan take out a ck gold card from the drawer. Didnt I give this to Mumu? Why do you have it? Are you going to confiscate this card? Why are you so stingy Mom, dont you think that youre pping your son in the face by giving me a woman card in private? Yu Yiduo smiled knowingly and took the card away. If you had expressed your gratitude to Mu Mu earlier, I wouldnt have needed to appear. At this moment, Li Yans phone rang. He looked down and saw three words on the screen:Little thing! This little woman finally remembered him! Li Yan picked up his phone but did not answer. He looked up at Yu Yiduo and said, Mom, you should get back to work. The cold expression on her face changed immediately when she saw the call. It was hard for Yu Yiduo not to know who was calling. She snorted disdainfully and left in her high heels! After Yu Yiduo left, Li Yan picked up the phone. Then, he heard the little woman call out with a smile, Uncle. You still know how to call me? Li Yan said calmly. I thought you had forgotten about me! How could that be! Why did she feel that this mans tone was filled with resentment? It must be her imagination! You dont have sses now? Yes, I have sses in the afternoon. Youre so free. Do you want me to arrange a part-time job for you? What part-time job? My personal secretary. Qiao Mu was speechless. She was not interested at all. Qiao Mu smiled and went straight to the point. Uncle, can you do me a small favor? Li Yans expression darkened when he heard that.. He realized that Qiao Mu did not call him because she missed him, but because she had a favor to ask of him! Chapter 471 - 471: You Are My Dearest Uncle Chapter 471 - 471: You Are My Dearest Uncle Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan snorted coldly. I wont help! Li Yans cold rejection left Qiao Mu unable to react. The mans attitude was obviously not right. Just as Qiao Mu was feeling extremely puzzled, she heard the mans voice. You want my help? Wheres your sincerity? Qiao Mu, weve been apart for two days, but you contacted me just to ask for my help. Your life is really quite fulfilling! Qiao Mu suddenly realized that this man was angry! Uncle, dont be unhappy! Qiao Mu said coquettishly. Even if I didnt ask for your help, I would have contacted you. Youre my dearest uncle. Ive always remembered you! Its useless to talk nonsense! Uncle Li Yan was both angry and helpless when he heard the soft and fawning voice on the phone. However, his tone was still cold. Do you think Im that easy to fool? Uncle, dont be so stingy. If a man is too stingy, he wont be liked by girls. I dont need others to like me. But I wont like you like this! Oh? Li Yans tone was gloomy. You dare not like me? Qiao Mu was speechless. He even threatened her! Uncle, I like you very much, but if you werent so stingy, I would like you even more! Li Yan was a little curious. What made you so eager to please me? Qiao Mu immediately became excited. Next week, the international fashion designer, Key, will being to China to hold arge-scale fashion exhibition. However, the admission quota is all privately set, so I want Uncle to help me get two admission tickets. He even wanted benefits! Qiao Mu pouted. Uncle, my people are all yours. What other benefits do you want? Father and son have to settle ounts clearly. I naturally cant help you for nothing. Qiao Mu was speechless. Where was the good man who would grant her every request? Qiao Mu was at her wits end. This matter was too important to her, so she steeled her heart and said, Name your conditions! Alright then! Ill remember it first and ask for benefitster. Qiao Mu instantly had a bad feeling when she heard the mans voice. Why did she feel like she had fallen into a pit? Forget it. This matter was so important anyway. A small sacrifice was worth it! As long as Li Yan promised, there was nothing that he could not do. Hence, Qiao Mu waited for Li Yans news with peace of mind. She turned on herputer and logged into the campus forum to search for news about Key. Key was the chief designer of Paris Fashion Week and the first designer in China to take charge of Paris Fashion Week. In the fashion design circle, he was like a king. Now, he already had his own brand, and it was an international brand! Not only was he young and handsome, but he was also very talented. The clothes he designed had a lot of personality. This was Qiao Mus only idol, and she had always regarded the Key as her goal. Although this dream was too far away, it was still possible to fantasize about it. Li Yan was extremely efficient. He called the next day and said that he had gotten three admission tickets. Uncle, can you get someone to send the tickets to our school? Qiao Mu asked excitedly. Not good! Li Yan rejected him immediately. If you want to get the tickets,e and get them yourself. Ill only keep them for 12 hours. If you donte and get them after that, just throw them away. Qiao Mu was speechless. Therefore, he wanted her to go to him to get the tickets before today.. Chapter 472 - 472: What Am I to You (1) Chapter 472 - 472: What Am I to You (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu only had two sses in the afternoon that day. After ss, she went straight to Li Corporation. Although she had agreed not to see him at school every day, they were still in the stage of being passionately in love. Their rtionship was still burning. She missed him very much after not seeing him for two days. Joe knocked on the person in the office, and the person inside responded. She pushed the door open and saw that the man in the room was working with his head lowered. Qiao Mu walked up to her desk and respectfully said, President, Im here to pick up my things. When he heard the voice, Li Yan raised his head abruptly. When he saw the little woman in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up evilly. Come and take it yourself. Qiao Mu walked over and was just about to approach him when he pulled her into his embrace. She could smell the familiar scent of the man. Qiao Mu leaned into his embrace. Uncle, wheres my ticket? Li Yans eyes darkened. Those papers are more important than me? Of course not! Qiao Mu immediately quibbled. Li Yan wrapped his arms around her tightly. Give me the benefits I promised you before giving you the tickets. Qiao Mu blinked and looked into the mans bewitching eyes. She suddenly had a bad feeling and braced herself to ask, Uncle, what benefits do you want? What do you think Im interested in? An extremely ambiguous voice rang out beside her ear, causing Qiao Mus body to involuntarily shudder. It was like an electric current, making her feel numb and numb. She blushed and pressed herself against his chest, not daring to reply. It was broad daylight! What hooligan was he trying to y again! Even if Qiao Mu did not reply, she still could not stop a certain man from continuing. Im quite satisfied with your performancest time. So, this time, I want you to take the initiative ten times. Ten times? F * ck! He was shameless! What did he mean by insatiable? He was talking about this man! Qiao Mus face flushed red, and she could no longer raise her head! She leaned against his chest and toot, Uncle, its broad daylight now. You still have to work! You make it sound like we didnt do it during the day. Didnt youe to mypanyst time and seduce me? .!! Please dont twist the truth, okay? Qiao Mu red at him with a red face. Hurry up and give me the tickets! An equal transaction. . Qiao Mu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Seeing that the man would not give up until he got something good, she blushed and kissed him. Uncle, give it to me! Her seductive tone and ambiguous words made Li Yans body tense up, and the smile on his lips became even more bewitching. He lifted her chin and looked at her with a smile. Be good. Dont be anxious. Ill Here you go! Qiao Mu was stunned. Immediately after, the mans face fell. When she realized what he was saying, she instantly felt ashamed! Without giving her any time to be shy, a certain mans passionate kiss came. Just as Qiao Mu was in a daze from the kiss, there was a sudden knock on the door, and her body froze. She pushed him nervously and whispered, Uncle, let go of me! Without my permission, no one will dare toe in. Li Yan seemed to be ying with fire. He ignored the knocking on the door and continued to kiss the little woman in his arms. Outside the door, Lei Yi knocked on the door, but there was no response from the office. Li Yan did not reply, so Lei Yi did not dare to enter without permission. Moreover, Qiao Mu was here just now! However, there was an emergency meeting in a while, so he had to remind the people inside. After a while, Lei Yi finally spoke. President, theres a meeting in five minutes. All the higher-ups have arrived.. Chapter 473 - 473: What Am I to You (2) Chapter 473 - 473: What Am I to You (2) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan paused and frowned unhappily. He had actually forgotten about this! Qiao Mu took the opportunity to jump down from Li Yans embrace and red at him with a red face. Uncle, dont be so careless! His body had long been set aze, and a certain part of his head was raised uncontrobly. His thin clothes could not cover the obvious small tent at all! Qiao Mu saw the mans ugly expression and immediately rushed to the door to open it. Uncle, you can leave now. Li Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm down his body temperature. However, it was easy to start a fire, but difficult to put out a fire. How could he stop for a while? When this little thing didnt appear in front of him, he missed her so much that he went crazy. However, after she came, she could torture him half to death. Li Yan sat quietly for a while and took a sip of cold water before he managed to extinguish the mes. Lei Yi waited for a long time outside the door. He had no idea what was going on between the two of them. One was sitting at the desk, and the other was standing at the door. Finally, Li Yan stood up and walked towards the door. Qiao Mu nced at a certain part of the mans body and gloated over his misfortune. However, when the tall figure passed by her, a warning and threatening voice faintly sounded, Be good and wait for me. If Ie back and see that youre not hereDont even think about getting tickets. Qiao Mu was forced to nod under the mans domineering gaze. After Li Yan left, Qiao Mu sat on his office chair out of boredom. She thought that her ticket might have been ced in the drawer. She opened the drawer and rummaged through it. She didnt see the admission ticket for the design exhibition, but she identally found a document. Qiao Mu was slightly stunned when she saw the contents of the document. It was a detailed report on Yu and Qiao Industries, and it recorded that Yu Tingyun had moved Qiao Industries funds many times. Qiao Mu suddenly recalled Yu Tingyuns words in prison, and her expression darkened little by little. Yu Tingyuns words echoed clearly in his mind. Li Yan doesnt take you seriously at all. In front of benefits, youre worthless Qiao Mu bit her lip and shook her head vigorously. It couldnt be. Even if Li Yan sent Qiao Jiannan a message, it was just a coincidence. It couldnt be like what Yu Tingyun said. It was definitely not Li Yans n! Half an hourter, Li Yan returned to his office. Qiao Mu stood up and gave up her seat to the man before sitting on hisp. Li Yan saw that the little woman had be so obedient all of a sudden, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Uncle. Qiao Mu looked up at Li Yan. I want to ask you a question. Hmm? For example, if youpare me to something, what am I to you? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes. She wanted to know how important she was to this man. Li Yan raised his brows, and under Qiao Mus expectant gaze, he spat out two words, Underwear. The corners of Qiao Mus lips twitched fiercely. Underwear? Why? I can wear it every day and night, sticking close to me at all times. Li Yans words were extremely ambiguous. Qiao Mu blushed and pouted unhappily. Im obviously asking so seriously. Can you not be so indecent? Qiao Mus mood was a little down. So, Im only that useful to you? Li Yan nced at her indifferently. Are you wearing underwear? Huh? Qiao Mus face instantly flushed red. I cant think of anything that can be carried around 24 hours a day.. Chapter 474 - 474: What Am I to You (3) Chapter 474 - 474: What Am I to You (3) Trantor: 549690339 24 hours a day? So, this manparing her to underwear was not just a frivolous act. He was trying to say that he could not leave her? However, just how perverted was this man? He still wanted her to stick to that part of his body 24 hours a day! Although Qiao Mu was no longer as disappointed, she still snorted unhappily. This analogy is too vulgar! Is there something indecent in your little brain? This man was the best at ming her when he was clearly the most indecent one! She pouted and said, You cant wear underwear at the age of 24. You have to take it off when you take a shower! Li Yans lips curled into a charming smile. Ill take you with me when I shower next time. That way, I wont leave you 24 hours a day. Qiao Mu was speechless. How could this mans mouth be so glib! He had wanted to ask about her importance to him, but he had fooled her just like that! Suddenly, a mans voice sounded in her ear.Little thing, should we continue what we havent finished before? Qiao Mu blushed and took the opportunity to beg for mercy. Uncle, Ill go home with you tonight. When he heard that the little woman wanted to go home with him tonight, the smile on Li Yans lips deepened. He patted her butt and said, Wait for me on the sofa. Ill get off work after Im done. Qiao Mu nodded and jumped down from his embrace. When Li Yan got off work and was about to leave, he handed three admission tickets to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu was ecstatic when she saw the expensive tickets. On the way back, Li Yan saw how excited she was and asked calmly, ls this design exhibition very impressive? Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. Thats right! Uncle, Key is a top fashion designer and my idol. He has a clothing brand called Key and is a very good designer internationally. Ive worked hard to make him my goal! Li Yan looked at the little womans face that was flushed with excitement. Girls of her age would chase after celebrities, but he had never seen her like any celebrity. This was the first time he had seen her talk about her idol. When she mentioned that person called Key, her big eyes sparkled and she was in high spirits. Li Yan narrowed his eyes. Is your idol a man or a woman? Qiao Mu was talking excitedly when she suddenly heard Li Yans question. She thought that he was interested in her idol, so she replied very naturally, Hes a handsome man. I never thought Id have the chance to meet him in person! Qiao Mu did not notice that Li Yans expression instantly darkened when he heard the word handsome. It turned out that she wanted the tickets to attend the exhibition not to admire the fashion show, but to see her handsome idol! Li Yans face darkened. You really dont have a chance. Ive changed my mind. Youre not allowed to go! Qiao Mu was stunned. Only then did she realize Li Yans transformation! She quickly reacted to what he had just said and understood what was going on. Suddenly, sheughed out loud. Uncle, youre jealous! Li Yan raised his eyebrows disapprovingly after being exposed by her. Thats right, Im jealous, so dont even think about going. Uncle, youre thinking too much. I simply admire his talent. No matter how handsome or powerful he is, hes miles away from you, okay? Qiao Mu hugged Li Yan tightly. When she saw that the mans expression had improved slightly, she smiled and said, Also, let me tell you a secret. Key is GAY. You know, many male fashion designers are very sissy. If you get jealous with him, it will lower your style! Qiao Mu silently apologized to Key in her heart. In order to appease the jealous jar in front of her, she could only say this. Ill continue updating tomorrow. Ill write Chi Xias storyter.. Chapter 475 - 475: Using Action to Prove Your Heart (1) Chapter 475: Using Action to Prove Your Heart (1) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan red at her coldly. Are you going to the fashion show or to meet your idol? Of course Im going to see the clothes he designed! He also wanted to visit his idol. Li Yan finally let Qiao Mu off after Qiao Mu tried her best to express her stance. She heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the scene outside the car. She was a little puzzled. Uncle, this is not the way home. Yes, Im eating outside. Qiao Mus eyes lit up. Then can I order what I like to eat? Li Yan nodded helplessly. What do you want to eat? I want to eat spicy stir-fried crab, curry crab, cheese prawns, and fried steak! Qiao Mu had eaten in the school canteen for two days, and her appetite was now very good. Li Yans lips curled up. Looks like you didnt get to eat well in school. Now you Imow the benefits of living with me? Its not toote to change your mind now. Uncle, you have to treat me well asionally so that I can feel it more. If you treat me well every day, Ill be numb. So, Ill torture you asionally to show off my kindness to you, right? Qiao Mu shook her head vigorously. Uncle wont bear to torture me! Im willing to. Li Yan paused and his tone immediately became ambiguous. Ill torture you when I get back tonight! Qiao Mu was speechless. For dinner, Qiao Mu had a seafood feast and all sorts of delicacies as she wished. After dinner, she ate dessert, and only wiped her hands with a tissue when her stomach could no longer take it. When she looked up, she saw Li Yan smiling at her. When she thought about how he had disregarded his image while eating, she blushed in embarrassment. Uncle, why are you eating so little? Okay, Ill wait to eat you when I get back tonight. The corners of Qiao Mus lips twitched, and then she saw the man beckon her. Come here. Qiao Mu was puzzled, but she still walked to his side and sat down. Li Yan lifted Qiao Mus chin. Theres sauce on the corner of your lips. Let me help you wipe it. As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed the corner of her lips. To be more precise, he licked it. His tongue licked the corner of her lips. It was so itchy that Qiao Mus face instantly turned red, and she actually forgot to react. .. This hooligan! The meal finally ended with Qiao Mu blushing. After the meal, the two of them went to the parking lot. Just as they were about to get into the car, two people alighted from the car beside them. President Li? A female voice sounded. Qiao Mu had already stepped into the car with one leg. When she heard a slightly familiar voice, she turned around and saw Shu Xinyu and a middle-aged man standing beside the car. Li Yan nodded politely when he saw the other party. Shu Xinyu smiled faintly and swept her gaze across Qiao Mu. CEO Li, you came to eat with your girlfriend? Qiao Mu recalled that Shu Xinyu had made up for her daughter and Li Yan during the banquet. She must have wanted to confirm her rtionship with Li Yan. Li Yan could tell that the other partys emphasis was on the word girlfriend. He had never liked to talk about his personal matters with others. The other party only had some business dealings with him, so he did not need to introduce Qiao Mus identity. After Shu Xinyu asked that question, the man beside her could tell that Li Yans attitude was cold. Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, he changed the topic.President Li is leaving after dinner. We wont disturb you anymore. President Ning, please. As Li Yan spoke, he had already opened the car door and got in. Li Yan got into the car and drove away. Shu Xinyu looked at Ning Yue unhappily. Why did you interrupt me just now? I just want to know whats the rtionship between that woman and Li Yan.. Chapter 476 - 476: Using Action to Prove Your Heart (2) Chapter 476: Using Action to Prove Your Heart (2) Trantor: 549690339 Ning Yue frowned. Who is Li Yan? Why are you trying to pry into his private affairs? Its all because Tongtong likes him. I want to see if the woman beside Li Yan is his girlfriend. Young people like to y. I think Li Yan is just ying around. Our Tongtong still has a chance. Shu Xinyu said as she held Ning Yues hand. Ning Yue was helpless. Youve spoiled Tongtong! Thats because shes your daughter! In the car, Qiao Mu lowered her head and remained silent. Li Yan did not answer Shu Xinyus question just now. Li Yans behavior made her feel a little ufortable. Suddenly, she felt a warmth in her hand. Arge hand held her, and the mans questioning voice sounded, What are you thinking about? Li Yan looked at her unhappy face and thought about what had happened earlier. The corners of his lips curled up. Are you unhappy? She puffed up her face. Her little face clearly said, Im angry,e andfort me quickly. However, she stubbornly denied it. Li Yan suddenly wanted to tease the little girl. He pulled her hand back and said calmly, Thats good. Its good that you dont have it? Qiao Mu turned to look at the man beside her. When she saw the faint smile on his lips, she knew that she had been yed! She snorted coldly. Tell me, do you have improper thoughts about that Ning Tongtong? Ning Tongtong? Li Yan repeated the name and only remembered it after two seconds. You mean Shu Xinyus daughter? At the previous banquet, Shu Xinyu had introduced Ning Tongtong to him, but he had forgotten about her in the blink of an eye. If Ning Tongtongs surname wasnt Ning, he wouldnt have thought of this person at all. Qiao Mu looked at him in disbelief. How could you forget such a beautiful woman just like that? How beautiful? I didnt notice. He had never cared about how the person she thought of looked. In his eyes, all other women were the same. Qiao Mu was very satisfied with Li Yans answer, but she still asked with a puffed up face, lf you didnt take a fancy to that beauty, then why didnt you admit our rtionship in front of Shu Xinyu? Li Yan smiled helplessly. Shes not my friend. Whats the point of telling her about our rtionship? Qiao Mu was about to say something when the car suddenly stopped. Then, she heard the man say in an ambiguous tone, Since you dont trust your man so much, I can only prove my feelings with my actions. Qiao Mu was puzzled. Then, she saw a five-star hotel outside the car. You What are you doing? Little thing, it seems that I havent tried my best enough. Thats why you think that I have the mood to pay attention to others. The best way to appease your suspicion is to take action! Qiao Mu was speechless. As he spoke, Li Yan had already gotten out of the car. He then opened the door to the front passenger seat and led Qiao Mu out. Qiao Mu shyly tugged at him. Lets go home! Li Yan smiled and led her into the hotel. Staying in a hotel was a verymon thing, but why did Qiao Mu feel so embarrassed that she couldnt face anyone? When he arrived at the front desk, Li Yan took out the hotels VIP card. Qiao Mu stood behind him with her head lowered, looking like she had a guilty conscience. Li Yan took the room card and led Qiao Mu into the elevator. Heughed and said, You look like youre confessing without a fight. Anyone can tell at a nce that were not doing anything good by booking a room. Qiao Mu raised her head and red at him. You still know that youre up to no good, yet you still have the cheek toe and get a room! Be good. Im doing this for you. Actually, the real reason was that Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo were in the Li Family vi. He didnt want Yu Yiduo to ruin his rare time with a little woman. [It needs to be updated around 11:30..] Chapter 477 - 477: Why Did You Throw Me Away? Chapter 477: Why Did You Throw Me Away? Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was so embarrassed that she couldnt even raise her head. Although it wasnt the first time she had stayed in a hotel with him, this time, she hade with a certain purpose! Just as she was walking to her room, Qiao Mu suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She furrowed her brows as she felt that she had eaten too much food for dinner, causing her stomach to churn. After entering the room, Qiao Mu immediately rushed into the bathroom. As expected, she had a stomachache. After a while, Qiao Mu came out of the bathroom and looked at Li Yan pitifully. Uncle, I have diarrhea. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Are you using this method to avoid what you should do tonight? I really have a stomachache. Qiao Mu rubbed her stomach. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and she immediately rushed into the bathroom. When Qiao Mu came out again, Li Yan realized that she was really having a stomachache. He originally thought that Qiao Mu would be fine after eating a little more, but she did not seem to be better even after going to the toilet a few times. Li Yan called the doctor toe over. The doctor did a check-up. As the spicy food and seafood had irritated his stomach, he took some stomach medicine and drank more water and rested more. Qiao Mu tossed and turned for the entire night before finally stopping her diarrhea after taking the medicine. Shey weakly on the bed, but her stomach still hurt terribly. Li Yans heart ached when he saw how upset she was. Youre not allowed to eat so much in the future. I didnt want to either! You made yourself sick. Its reasonable. Li Yan leaned against the headboard helplessly and let her lean against him. He rubbed her stomach with his big hand and asked, Are you feeling better? Yes. Qiao Mu leaned into his embrace, enjoying his gentleness. Ever since she was young, no one had ever taken such good care of her when she was sick. When she was young, Qiao Ya would asionally bully her and not let her eat, so her stomach was not very good to begin with. Every time her stomach hurt, she could only silently endure it. Therge hand on her stomach seemed to have the power to take away her pain bit by bit. She turned to look at him. Uncle, I used to hope that my mother would be by my side to take care of me when I was sick. But before I was five, Zhou Jieru only liked to go to the casino and splurge on the money she swindled from the Qiao family. She didnt give me any warmth. At that time, I didnt understand why my mother didnt like me at all. Now I understand that shes not my biological mother. At this point, she buried her face in his chest. Uncle, do you think my biological mother would treat me like this? Li Yan looked down at the little woman. This was the first time she had mentioned her mother to him ever since she found out the truth. Perhaps it was because she was sick, but she was especially fragile and made his heart ache. He patted her head and said, Yes, that wont happen. No mother doesnt like her child. Then why did she throw me away? Maybe she identally lost you. She might have been looking for you all these years. Li Yanforted her in a low voice. Qiao Mu raised her head, and herrge, watery eyes were covered with ayer of mist. She looked at Li Yan with uncertainty. Really? How could they bear to abandon you? Be good, leave this matter to me. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. Qiao Mu nodded, a tiny bit of hope rising in her heart. She never dared to think about it. Thinking about her biological mother abandoning her was more heartbreaking than having a mother like Zhou Jieru.. Chapter 478 - 478: I’ll Compensate You Next Time Chapter 478: Ill Compensate You Next Time Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans voice was extremely low as heforted Mu Mu, Mu Mu, this is not your fault. Dont let your imagination run wild. Qiao Mu looked at the mans concerned gaze, and her heart felt so warm that it was about to melt. He had always been pampered by others. He had never needed to estimate other peoples feelings, nor was he good atforting others. At this moment, he was using her own way tofort her. Qiao Mus nose turned sour, and her eyes became moist. She blinked and her tears fell. She rubbed her face against his clothes and looked up at him. Her voice was choked with sobs. Uncle, Im sorry. Hmm? Her sudden apology puzzled Li Yan. Then, the little woman said something that gave him a headache. Originally, you wanted toWell, but Im not feeling well right now. I didnt do it on purpose. Li Yan was speechless. The little woman, who was originally sad, now had a trace of apology in her eyes. She was sincerely apologizing to him! Li Yan really did not know what to say. He sighed helplessly. You should get better first. Qiao Mu nodded and continued to enjoy the mans caress. She fell asleep unknowingly. The next day, Qiao Mus body was still a little weak. She ate some liquid food at the hotels restaurant in the morning before Li Yan sent her to school. Before getting out of the car, Qiao Mu took the initiative to kiss Li Yan, which was a rare urrence. She blushed, feeling shy and guilty. Uncle, it was hard on youst night. Ill make it up to you next time! The corner of Li Yans eyes twitched. Before he could say anything, the little woman quickly jumped out of the car and ran away in embarrassment. On the weekend, Qiao Mu finally arrived at the fashion design exhibition. Qiao Mu, Chi Xia, and Guan Baobei arrived at the venue and saw a sea of people outside the venue, each holding a poster of the game. Baby Guan was puzzled. Isnt he just a designer? Why are there so many fans? Key isnt just a designer, Qiao Mu exined. Hes also a model. Furthermore, hes personally endorsing the clothing brand he designs. It was not strange that Baby Guan did not know about it. Only Qiao Mu majored in fashion design, Chi Xia majored inw, and Baby Guan majored in science. Baby Guan nursed her lips. Hes not bad. but hes just a little worse than Lu Jingzhi. At this point, Baby Guan suddenly realized that she had said something wrong. She coughed lightly and said, Although Lu Jingzhi is no longer rted to me, it is a fact that he is handsome. We didnt say anything, Chi Xiaughed. What are you feeling guilty about? I dont feel guilty! The three of them had just entered the venue when a voice interrupted their conversation. Baby Guan, why are you here? Speaking of the devil, the person who spoke was Lu Jingzhi. Baby Guan was stunned and snorted. Youre a strange person. What does it have to do with you where I am? Lu Jingzhi frowned. Come here, I have something to tell you. What do you want to say? Baby Guan stood rooted to the spot. Lu Jingzhi strode forward and dragged Baby Guan to the side. Your brother called me. He wants us to take back the annulment of our engagement. Ive thought about it. The annulment of our engagement is invalid. Lu Jingzhis words were met with a sneer from Baby Guan. Have you thought about it? Whats the use of you thinking about it? Im the one who doesnt want to marry a scumbag like you! Baby Guan, dont swear! I knew it! Why? From your stance, do you want to fight me? Qiao Mu and Chi Xia looked at each other as they watched the two rivals and entered the home court first.. Chapter 479 - 479: Fashion Design Exhibition Chapter 479: Fashion Design Exhibition Trantor: 549690339 The exhibition venue was a big circle with a catwalk in the middle and an audience seat on both sides. The exhibition hadnt even started yet, but the seats were already filled. Qiao Mu found the number of the entrance ticket and found a seat. It was actually the VIP seats in the front row. As expected, her uncle was very efficient! Qiao Mus attention waspletely focused on the booth. Just as she was about to sit down, Chi Xia suddenly tugged at her from behind and turned around to look at her without answering. Chi Xia pointed at the seat next to her and looked in that direction. She then realized that the man who was reading a magazine was Su Chen! Su Chen raised his head and wasnt surprised to see Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, I knew it. My elder brother doesnt have the artistic talent toe to the exhibition. He must have gotten the tickets for you. After saying that, Su Chens gazended on the person behind Qiao Mu. His gaze paused for a moment before he shifted his gaze away. Qiao Mu smiled. Young Master Su, do you have artistic talent toe to the exhibition? I was dragged here by Lu Xiaosan. Su Chen said lightly. Qiao Mu nced at Chi Xia and pressed her down on the seat next to Su Chen. She then sat down next to Chi Xia. Chi Xia secretly red at Qiao Mu, but Qiao Mu looked up at the sky and pretended not to see anything. Qiao Mus phone rang. It was Li Yan. She informed Chi Xia and went to the side to answer the call. Chi Xia sat stiffly in her seat. She recalled thest time she slept at his ce. He was not home the next morning, but he left her a set of clothes and shoes so that she would not have to wear a formal dress to school in the middle of the day. After struggling for a long time, Chi Xia finally turned her head. Just as she was about to say something, her eyes met Su Chens. Chi Xias shocked expression made Su Chen raise his eyebrows. Whats with your reaction? CoughUm, Mr. Smith, thank you for what happenedst time. Su Chen nced at her indifferently. You should thank me for sleeping like a pig. You should be d that I didnt leave you on the streets. Chi Xia was speechless. So, do you owe me another favor? When she heard that the other party had taken the opportunity to extort her, Chi Xia immediately retaliated, Mr. Smith, you brought me home. My reputation as a girl will be affected. Also, how would I know if you did anything to me while I was asleep? Su Chen looked as if he had just heard a joke. His cold gaze swept across Chi Xia. You tter yourself. K. Chi Xia was speechless. No matter what, she was still a beautiful girl. What was with his disdainful tone? She truly felt that this man had no other good points except for his good looks. Qiao Mu went to the quiet side hall to answer the call. Uncle, Ive arrived at the exhibition venue. Did you meet your idol? The mans voice was a little sour. Qiao Mu smiled. Not yet. Im here to see the fashion show, not to see him! Uncle, I already said that Key is GAY. Im not interested in him. Im interested in his work. Just as Qiao Mu finished speaking, the man who was walking past her paused in his steps. He couldnt help but nce at Qiao Mu a few more times, and the corners of his lips curled up yfully. Key is GAY? Why didnt he know that he was GAY? Qiao Mu finally put Li Yan at ease before she put away her phone and walked toward the venue. After making a turn, the two of them bumped into each other without noticing anyone. Qiao Mu took two steps back and saw that the other party was Ning Tongtong.. Chapter 480 - 480: Meeting with the Idol Chapter 480 - 480: Meeting with the Idol Trantor: 549690339 Im sorry, Qiao Mu apologized. When Ning Tongtong saw Qiao Mu, she was slightly taken aback before she smiled. You must be Miss Qiao. We met at the banquet. The other partys gentle attitude was beyond Qiao Mus expectations. Ning Tongtong should have known about her rtionship with Li Yan, but she did not treat Qiao Mu as a love rival. Ning Tongtong took out her business card. You might not remember me, but this is my business card. Youre here to attend the Key fashion design exhibition. Are you a designer too? Qiao Mu took the business card and replied with a smile, No, I havent graduated yet. I really like Teacher Keys works. Of course, I cant miss his fashion show. Ning Tongtong was about to say something when someone called out to her. She smiled and said, I have something else to do. Ill be leaving first. Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtongs back and thought that perhaps Ning Tongtong did not like Li Yan at all. She was overthinking things. When Qiao Mu returned to her seat, Baby Guan and Lu Jingzhi were already sitting there. The exhibition was about to begin, and the venue immediately fell silent. Very soon, the models walked out in their clothes. Every piece of clothing was of thetest style. It was their first time appearing in public. Qiao Mu kept taking photos with her phone until Key walked out in a white casual suit. He was leading all the models on the runway, looking very domineering. The exhibition ended. Qiao Mu immediately rushed backstage and happened to see Keying out of the changing room in casual clothes. Qiao Mu was excited. Hello, Teacher Key. My name is Qiao Mu, and Im a fashion design student. Ive made a fashion design draft. Can you take a look? Im not free. Keys back was originally facing Qiao Mu. As he spoke, he turned around, and when his gazended on Qiao Mu, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Qiao Mu was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something more, but Key suddenly said, Let me see. Qiao Mu handed the blueprint in her hand to Key. Key sat down on a chair with the booklet. After flipping through a few pages, he looked up at Qiao Mu. Did you draw all these yourself? Qiao Mu nodded. Key teacher, can you give me some pointers? Im not that free. Key finished reading all the drafts. Not bad. If you want my guidance, Ill give you a chance. Key took out a registration form from his bag. Ive organized a fashion designpetition. You fill out this registration form and get ready to participate in thepetition. However, the participants are all official designers. If youre afraid, you can choose not to participate. Qiao Mu took the form without hesitation, picked up a pen, and started filling in the information. The fashion designerpetition held by Key was an internal recruitment. Not just anyone could participate. If one could get into the top ten in thepetition, the major designpanies woulde looking for them directly. They would not have to worry about their jobs! Key took a look at the information and took a design drawing from the drafts. Alright, leave a design drawing as the registration work. You can go back and wait for the notification. Thank you, Teacher Key. Qiao Mu was about to turn around when Key looked at her indifferently. Right, theres one more thing. Teacher Key, please go ahead. Im not GAY. Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment and did not quite react. She suddenly recalled the contents of her conversation with Li Yan on the phone and immediately lowered her head in shame. Teacher Key, I was just joking about that. Please dont take it seriously.. Chapter 481 - 481: The Two Blueprints Are Similar Chapter 481 - 481: The Two Blueprints Are Simr Trantor: 549690339 Key leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed. This joke isnt funny at all. Or does my image make people think that way? Qiao Mu smiled awkwardly. Key teacher, Im really sorry. I worship you from the bottom of my heart. Youre the Prince Charming in my heart, the king of the fashion design industry. I really didnt mean to offend you, so please dont hold it against me. In her agitation, Qiao Mu identally revealed her thoughts. Although many male fashion designers were a little sissy, Key exuded the toughness of an Asian man. Whether it was his appearance or his speech, he had the unique charm of a man. He was about 30 years old and had an outstanding temperament. He was not as impetuous as young men. From the looks of it, he wouldnt even think of it as GAY. If it werent for the sake offorting her uncle, she wouldnt have said anything that would hurt her idol. Key raised his brows, and his expression was indifferent, causing Qiao Mu to instantly be nervous. She hurriedly said, Mr. Key, you cant disqualify me just because I said something that I didnt mean. I really like fashion design and I want to be as outstanding as you. Key smiled faintly. You dont have to be nervous. If I mind, I wouldnt have let you sign up. In front of your work, nothing else is important. Your work does have its own style. I wont let go of any talent in this industry. Qiao Mus impression of her idol instantly increased, and she bowed deeply. Thank you, Key teacher. Ill work hard and wont disappoint you. If theres nothing else, Ill take my leave first. Goodbye. Key nodded, and Qiao Mu turned to leave. When she reached the door, a woman walked past her into the lounge. That person nced at Qiao Mu before walking up to Key. Key, who was the girl who just left? Key took a sip of tea. I guess shes a fan. Fans? Your brainless fan actually sneaked into the backstage to ask for your autograph? No, shes a fashion design student. She came here to ask for advice with her work. I thought her work was not bad, so I asked her to sign up for thepetition. The woman was stunned. Your decision is still so casual. Thepetition you organized is so grand, yet you let a student participate. Youre afraid that youll be eliminated in the first round. How embarrassing would that be? Ive seen her work. Its not bad. Its cleaner and more casual than some designers work. It fits my style. This person is quite interesting. I heard her call someone and tell them that Im GAY. Key raised his head and looked at the woman beside him. Amy, where do you think I see a GAY? Amy frowned. You seem to be quite happy. Ive been your assistant for three years, and you dont have a woman by your side. Im starting to suspect it too. Dont I have a beauty like you by my side? Keyughed. Youre still talkative! Are we in that kind of rtionship? Amys face turned red. She red at Key as if nothing had happened and handed the folder in her hand to Key. This is the registration information of President Shus daughter, Ning Tongtong. President Shu is the investor of ourpetition. Ning Tongtong has to participate in thispetition. Fortunately, Ning Tongtong is quite talented in design. The clothes that were released in thetest autumn are all very good. Key took the folder and took out Ning Tongtongs registered work to take a Amy followed Keys line of sight and frowned.. These two drafts are so simr! Chapter 482 - 482: Who plagiarized whom? Chapter 482: Who giarized whom? Trantor: 549690339 Key nodded. Yes, although the techniques are simr, there are still many differences in the details. We cant tell who giarized who. Amy snorted. Is there a need to look? Ning Tongtong is considered a slightly famous designer and has produced several batches of branded clothing. This Qiao Mu must have imitated Ning Tongtong! Get both of them to sign up, Key said calmly. Well only know their true level during thepetition. No matter who giarizes, well know then. But, we better not offend President Shu. Keys expression turned cold. In this industry, no matter who it is, as long as they have the guts to giarize, I wont let them live! To Qiao Mu, this exhibition was extremely rewarding. Just as Qiao Mu was about to leave, Li Yan called her. This man had called quite frequently today, and this made Qiao Mu feel rather pleased. It seemed that he would only be more worried about her if she created a small threat for him. When she picked up the phone, she heard the mans deep voice.lts over? Hey, Uncle, how did you know? Wasnt this too punctual? Then, a mans voice sounded from the other end of the phone. Ill wait for you at the exit. Qiao Mu was stunned. He actually came? Chi Xia walked over. Lets go. Youve met your idol and you even got an unexpected reward. Lets celebrate. Qiao Mu put away her phone and smiled. Ill definitely treat you, but not today. Li Yan is waiting for me outside. Chi Xia pouted. Yo, your uncle is keeping a close eye on you. Is he worried that youll run off with your idol? Qiao Mu did not refute Chi Xias words. She waved at her and jogged away. Chi Xia was helpless. Someone approached her from behind. She turned around and said with a smile, Baby, its just the two of us left. This guy who forgets his friends when he sees women leaves just like that. Lets go eat Before he could finish, he turned around and saw the person behind him. It was not Baby Guan! The smile on Chi Xias face immediately disappeared and she smiled awkwardly. Mr. Su, can you not appear behind me like a ghost? I thought it was a treasure! Su Chen nced at her. Your friend was taken away by Lu Jingzhi just now. Chi Xia was speechless. Why are there so many guys around her who forget their friends when they see women! Su Chen took two steps forward and turned back to look at Chi Xia. Didnt you say you were going to eat? . Huh? Chi Xia was dumbfounded. Lets go. Im hungry too. So? Was he going to eat with her? Was there something wrong with this young masters brain? How could he eat with her? Su Chen stuffed his hands into his pockets and said matter-of-factly, Last time, I took you in for a night. Do you think Ill be fine with just a simple thank you? You have to thank me and treat me to a meal! Chi Xia really wanted to reject him, but Su Chen did not give her a chance. It was as if the matter was settled after he finished speaking and he walked out. Chi Xia braced herself and followed him. She felt that being with Su Chen was really stressful. Why was this man so arrogant in everything he did? It was as if she had to listen to him. The moment Qiao Mu stepped out of the door, she saw Li Yans shy car parked by the roadside. She walked over and saw that the driver was sitting in the drivers seat, so she opened the backseat and got in. The man in the car was flipping through some documents. When he heard Qiao Mus voice, he raised his head and nced at Qiao Mu before continuing to read the documents. Qiao Mu leaned over.. Uncle, why are you here? Chapter 483 - 483: One Step Closer to the Target Chapter 483: One Step Closer to the Target Trantor: 549690339 If I donte, what if you get seduced by your sissy idol? The mans tone was sour. Qiao Mus smile deepened. Uncle, do you know that youre simply too handsome when youre jealous?! Li Yan looked up at her. Then do you know that when Im jealous, Im not only handsome but also scary? Hehelf Uncle isnt scary, how can you bear to be fierce to me! As Qiao Mu spoke, she looked out the window and saw Chi Xia walking out behind Su Chen. Su Chens car was parked at the side. Su Chen got into the car and Chi Xia followed closely behind. These two people Li Yan noticed that she was not paying attention. He put down the document in his hand, pinched her chin, and turned her to face him. Im jealous. Is this how you treat me? Qiao Mu blinked and swiftly kissed the mans lips. Her face blushed slightly. Uncle, dont malign me! Li Yan felt as if his lips had been brushed by a feather. It tickled him, causing his heart to waver. Looking at the little womans shy and coquettish appearance, he had the urge to eat her up. Qiao Mu suddenly thought of serious matters. She hugged Li Yans wrist and said excitedly, Uncle, let me tell you something. I showed my work to Key. He invited me to participate in the fashion designerpetition he organized. He invited me personally, which means that hes very satisfied with my work. It seems that Ive taken a big step towards my goal of bing a top fashion designer! Li Yan lowered his gaze and looked at the excited little woman. His small face was smiling so brightly that it was almost blooming. When he mentioned his goal, his big eyes sparkled. If such a small woman were to destroy her dreams and stop her from moving forward, it would be equivalent to breaking her wings. Li Yan did not say anything, so Qiao Mu impatiently asked, Uncle, arent you happy for me? Hurry up and praise me! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. So, if you want to participate in thepetition, youll spend less and less time with me, right? It wont happen! Uncle is as important as thepetition. I wont side with either side! This little thing wasparing him to thepetition. She was telling him that stopping her from participating in thepetition was the same as separating them. How could he bear to destroy the little womans dreams? Every time she mentioned her goals and the clothes she designed, her eyes would shine with unusual confidence. Qiao Mu nced at Li Yan and asked uncertainly, Uncle, are you going to stop me? I only have this little dream. As the man behind me, you should support me silently! Li Yan was helpless. Your man isnt that unreasonable. He didnt say that youre not allowed to go. Uncle, I knew you were the best! At the entrance of the exhibition, Ning Tongtong had just walked out of the exhibition when she saw Qiao Mu get into a ck car. The moment Qiao Mu opened the door, Ning Tongtong clearly saw the mans face in the car. Ning Tongtong narrowed her eyes. Shu Xinyus voice sounded from behind her. Tongtong, youve been waiting for a long time, havent you? Ning Tongtong looked away and smiled. No, Mom, lets go. Hmm, what were you looking at just now? Mom, Qiao Mu came to the exhibition today. She seems to be a fashion designer too. Shu Xinyu smiled faintly. There are many fashion designers out there. In my opinion, you are the best. Your works are all exceptionally outstanding. No one can casuallypare themselves to you. Ning Tongtong smiled.. Mom, with your praise, Im even more confident in this match! Chapter 484 - 484: Buying Her Blueprint at a High Price Chapter 484 - 484: Buying Her Blueprint at a High Price Trantor: 549690339 Shu Xinyu looked at Ning Tongtong and asked with concern,How are your preparations for thepetitioning along? With Keys status in the fashion design industry, thepetition will receive a lot of attention. As long as you get results in thepetition, your worth will be several times higher than now. I did everything I could to get the investment rights to thepetition to create a better tform for you to show off. Mom, thank you. Ill definitely work hard! Shu Xinyu sighed. I believe you. Our Tongtong is the best. Ning Tongtongs eyes shed as she smiled in response to Shu Xinyus praise. Since it was the weekend, Qiao Mu followed Li Yan back to the Li familys residence. After returning home, Qiao Mu ate lunch and entered the study room. She turned on Li Yansputer and searched for information about thepetition. Since he was at a disadvantage and hispetitors were too strong, he had to be fully prepared. However, Li Yan was ignored. Li Yan stood at the door of the study and watched as the little woman stared at theputer. She did not notice his existence at all. He said coldly, How long are you going to be busy? Qiao Mu didnt even raise her head. Uncle, I need to do some research to prepare for thepetition. As Qiao Mu was speaking, she noticed that she had received a few new messages in her mailbox. She opened them and saw that they were from Little T. Hello, sorry to bother you again. I know youve decided not to sell your work anymore, but I urgently need a few drafts now. Please draw a few drafts for me onest time. You can name the price. Perhaps it was because he did not get a reply, the other party sent another message: Is 10,000 yuan for a draft okay? This price ispletely beyond your ability. I only want thest few portions. Please help me. This person must be crazy. Using 10,000 yuan to buy her work was almost a hundred times the previous price! She was very curious about what the other party wanted to do. Li Yan stood at the door and watched as the little woman stared at theputer and ignored him. He turned around and went downstairs to call the butler. Uncle Chen, pull the power switch at home. The butler was stunned. Although he did not understand Li Yans purpose, he still nodded and did it. In the study, Qiao Mu was about to reply to the email and reject Little T, but before she could send the message, herputer shut down automatically with a bang. Stunned, she pressed the power button, but theputer did not respond. At this moment, Li Yan walked in, and Qiao Mu said, Uncle, theputer is turned off. Why cant I turn it on? I just received a call from the powerpany. The electricity in the vicinity is being repaired. Theres a ckout during the day, Li Yan replied nonchntly. What? A power outage without any prior notice! Qiao Mu was very unhappy. Li Yan waved at her. You went into the study when you got home. You said youde back to apany me this weekend. Are you apanying me or theputer? Qiao Mu stood up and looked at the time. Uncle, to make it up to you, Ill make dinner for you, okay? The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he pulled the little woman into his arms. I can choose what to eat? Of course! As long as its not too difficult, theres no problem! Qiao Mu had just finished speaking when she saw the smile on the mans face deepen, and a trace of her familiar demonic charm appeared. Then, the mans voice sounded in her ear. lts not difficult. You dont have to do anything. Just lie down and wait for me to eat you. Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu red at him with a red face. Can you be more serious?! Little thing, you seem to have forgotten what you said after you had a stomachachest time. You must make it up to me next time.. Where is mypensation? Chapter 485 - 485: The Greatest Luck Was Meeting Him (1) Chapter 485 - 485: The Greatest Luck Was Meeting Him (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus face reddened as if she was the one who said that she wanted to make it up to him. Can we wait until tonight? she mumbled softly. Li Yan teased her with interest. What are you doing tonight? Qiao Mus face was burning hot. She opened her mouth and finally said something embarrassing, 111 make it up to you tonight! Li Yans lips curled up and he tapped her nose. Okay, Ill wait for you. Qiao Mu had just rushed out of the study when she heard the mans lowughter behind her, and she stomped her feet in embarrassment. Qiao Mu flipped through the menu and finally decided to make a very simple chicken curry rice. After asking the butler, the butler said that there was no curry at home. The butler was about to remind Qiao Mu that Young Master didnt like curry, but before he could say anything, Qiao Mu took off her apron. Ill go out and buy it! At this moment, Li Yan walked over. What do you want to buy? Buying ingredients for dinner. Qiao Mus eyes lit up. Uncle, shall we go to the supermarket? The little womans eyes were filled with anticipation, as if shopping in the supermarket was a very happy thing. He nodded and replied, Alright. Qiao Mu changed her clothes and went downstairs before happily following Li Yan out. When they arrived at the supermarket, Li Yan was pushing the cart while Qiao Mu was picking out delicious food and putting them into the cart. Li Yan looked at the bags of snacks in the car. Are these the ingredients you wanted to buy for dinner? Its rare for me toe to the supermarket. I bought this on the way! Eat less junk food. Uncle, I didnt eat such delicious food when I was young. Its okay to eat a little now. Qiao Mus words made Li Yans eyes darken, and he could only let her continue buying. This little thing knew that as long as she pretended to be pitiful, he would be helpless. When they arrived at the candy section, Qiao Mu was choosing delicious food when the man silently pushing the cart suddenly took a few items from the rack and ced them into the cart. Qiao Mu looked down and was stunned. There were a few lollipops. There were cartoon candies, star candies, and rainbow candies. All kinds of lollipops instantly dug out the memories in the depths of her mind. Li Yan often bought these lollipops for her when she was young. At that time, Qiao Ya would always wave beautiful lollipops that she had never seen before in front of her eyes. She would deliberatelye to her and say that Yu Tingyun had bought them. Every time Qiao Ya showed off her mother, she would also mock her mother for being a bad woman. Once, Qiao Ya deliberately threw the lollipops on the ground and crushed them. Then, she went back to her room and took out two new lollipops. She held one in each hand and licked it. At that time, she was so angry that she ran to Li Yan and cursed Qiao Ya for having tooth decay. Not long after, Li Yan took a bunch of lollipops and ced them in front of her. Qiao Mu was truly stunned. Those lollipops were bigger and prettier than Qiao Yas. In the end, Qiao Mus curse on Qiao Ya came true on herself. It was only until she had decayed teeth that Li Yan began to limit the number of lollipops she could eat. He only gave her one every few days to satisfy her craving. She used to believe what Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya had told her, thinking that Li Yan was really trying to get close to her with a purpose. At that time, she did not calm down and think about it. Her big brothers kindness to her could not be faked. At the thought of this, Qiao Mus nose felt a little sour. Uncle, you still remember. You were so silly back then. How could I not remember? You were clearly drooling, but you still pretended that you didnt care for it and bought it for you. YOU were even more arrogant tnan uaao ya. YOU were 11Ke a nouveau e, holding two in each hand. That good-for-nothing look was so funny. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up as he recalled the scene from back then.. Chapter 486 - 486: The Greatest Luck Was Meeting Him (2) Chapter 486 - 486: The Greatest Luck Was Meeting Him (2) Trantor: 549690339 Even Li Yan himself did not understand why he could remember every detail of the little thing after ten years. When he chose to leave, he had already believed Qiao Yas words of provocation. ording to his temper, he would have long forgotten about this heartless little thing, but he did not. Perhaps, this was the so-called fate. They were destined to be together. When Qiao Mu heard the mans words, tears welled up in her eyes for some reason. Those childhood days were truly too wonderful. She could not care less about the people around her as she pounced on Li Yans chest. Uncle, thank you. Thank you for holding me in the palm of your hand. Thank you for making my childhood more beautiful to remember. She was truly grateful that he had appeared in her life. To her, the luckiest thing about living in the Qiao family was meeting him. At this moment, Qiao Mu finally understood that all the pain she had gone through was worth it. In order to be with him, those were nothing. Li Yan lowered his gaze to look at the little woman. He hugged her gently and stroked her head. Silly girl, there are so many peopleing and going. Arent you embarrassed? People are going tough at you. Let them take a look. They wont be able to be pretentious. Qiao Mu grunted. Two girls passed by and saw this scene. They whispered, Look at this couple. One is tall and the other is thin. With such a height difference, they look so cute when they stand together! Aiya, Im so envious. Look at the way that man looks at her. Hes so gentle that hes about to melt. That girl looks like shes about eighteen or neen years old. Could this be the real-life version of an uncle and a Ioli? Uncle? Li Yans eyes darkened when he heard that. He swept a cold nce over and the two girls immediately kept quiet. They lowered their heads and quickly left. When Qiao Mu heard the others ments, she stopped being pretentious and raised her head with a smile. An uncle paired with a Ioli is indeed a match for us. Hmm? Qiao Mu noticed Li Yans displeasure and immediately changed her words. Not uncle, its big brother! Li Yan was satisfied and held her hand to continue shopping. After buying everything, the two of them went to the cashier to settle the bill. Qiao Mu stood at the side. After she scanned the price of the lollipop, she impatiently opened it and started eating. It was still the same sweet taste as when she was young. After paying the bill, Li Yan carried the bag in one hand and held Qiao Mus hand in the other as they walked out. When she reached the door, Qiao Mu stopped and pointed to the side. Uncle, I want to eat ice cream. The ice-cream aunt smiled at Qiao Mu and asked, Little girl, what vor do you want to eat? Tiramisu, Qiao Mu said. His aunt nodded and took a cone of ice cream. Qiao Mu took it from him, and Li Yan paid. Keep the change. Her aunt was overjoyed and felt the need to put in a good word for Qiao Mu as she held the money. She looked at Qiao Mu and smiled.This little girl is really beautiful. Shes a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Those who dont know better would think that you two are a couple. This handsome man looks so young. He doesnt look like an uncle at all. Puff Qiao Mu almost burst outughing. What did he mean by looking young? Little Uncle was only 28 years old, alright? She raised her head and looked at Li Yan. As expected, the mans expression darkened. Li Yan looked up coldly. Who said Im his uncle? Im her boyfriend! Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh and hurriedly dragged Li Yan away. The ice cream auntie was stunned. Why would a couple call each other uncle? Sigh, young people nowadays really have a variety of ways to fall in love! After getting into the car, Qiao Mu looked at the mans displeased expression and wanted tough, but she did not dare to. She held his hand. Uncle, dont be unhappy.. Chapter 487 - 487: The Greatest Luck Was Meeting Him (3) Chapter 487 - 487: The Greatest Luck Was Meeting Him (3) Trantor: 549690339 I dont want to hear this title again. Change it! Li Yans voice was deep. Every time someone thought that they were rtives, he could not help but get angry. This little thing was his woman, and he was her man! Seeing the mans serious expression, Qiao Mu changed her tone. Big brother. Li Yan snorted coldly. Qiao Mu raised the ice cream in front of Li Yan. Big Brother, do you want a bite? I dont want to eat. She leaned over and said, Big Brother, the ice cream is on the corner of my mouth. Help me wipe it off. Li Yan turned his head to look at the little woman. She was pouting with ice cream on her lips. She looked just like when she was young, as if she was asking for a kiss from him. Back then, she had tried her best to make him take the initiative to kiss her. He had endured it again and again before he did noty his hands on a little girl. Seeing her now, his body suddenly tensed up. He cupped her small face and kissed her lips forcefully. There was a faint sweetness between her lips and teeth, making him unable to stop! Although this kiss was extremely ordinary, it almost melted Qiao Mus heart. It was as if her wish of many years hade true. She had finally seeded in asking him for a kiss like when she was young. Qiao Mus head went dizzy, and the ice cream and lollipop in her hands fell onto herp. She screamed and hurriedly pushed Li Yan away to clean up the mess. How is it? Stupid enough. Qiao Mu was speechless. Cant you just say something nice to coax her? During dinner, Qiao Mu was busy in the kitchen while Li Yan stood outside and watched the busy figures with a slight smile on his face. The butler came out of the kitchen. Li Yan asked, Uncle Chen, what is she doing? Young Master, Miss Qiao is making curry chicken rice. After the butler finished speaking, he saw Li Yan frown slightly. However, he quickly acted as if nothing had happened. The butler realized that his previous worries were unnecessary. Miss Qiao had personally made it, and regardless of whether it was to the young masters taste, she would definitely not say the word no. It was just like the steak that Miss Qiao had cookedst time. It was so pungent that he had vomited it out after taking a bite and thrown it into the trash can. However, the young master did not find any fault with it at all. He silently ate the entire steak. Therefore, even if the curry that the young master didnt like to eat for dinner, it wouldnt affect the young masters appetite at all. Li Yan walked to the kitchen door and leaned against the door frame. He reminded her, Put less salt in it. My throat isnt good, so I cant eat too much salt. Alright! After thinking about it, Li Yan emphasized worriedly, Forget it, dont put salt in it. Just eat something light. He did not have much confidence in the little womans cooking skills. He could tolerate the taste, but the salty taste was indeed torturing him. Qiao Mu made an OK gesture to Li Yan as she busied herself. Dont worry. Leave it to me. I know what to do! Li Yan was speechless. Fortunately, she knew her limits. If she didnt, what could she do? Seeing that Li Yan was stalking her, Qiao Mu pushed him away unhappily. Im so nervous that I dont know how to do it if you keep staring at me. Go sit on the sofa and wait for me. Ill call you when Im done! Li Yan smiled faintly and left obediently. Finally, dinner was ready after half an hour of banging sounds. Qiao Mu came out of the kitchen with a bowl of curry chicken rice and greeted Li Yan affectionately, Big brother, its time to eat! Chapter 488 - 488: The Greatest Luck Was Meeting Him (4) Chapter 488: The Greatest Luck Was Meeting Him (4) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu had just finished shouting when the door opened from the outside. A puzzled voice sounded from the door. Big Brother? Immediately after, Yu Yiduo walked in. She looked at Qiao Mu, then at Li Yan, and smiled. Mu Mu, when did you change the way you address me? I havent seen you for a few days, and your seniority has risen by one level. Youve changed from a nephew to a sister? Qiao Mu was speechless. Li Yan stood up as if nothing had happened. Mom, why are you back? Yu Yiduo saw her sons unweing expression and pursed her lips. You cant keep a grown up. Dont worry, Im not here to disturb the two of you. Your father is waiting for me in the car. Im going to watch a movie with your father tonight and spend some time alone with him. I just came back to get some clothes. Its really inconvenient to leave them at home. Then move the clothes to your ce, Li Yan said calmly. So, youre openly chasing your mother away? I really raised you, this heartless son, for nothing! To think that I fed you with sh * t and pee! The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched fiercely. She had fed her son with a handful of feces and a handful of urine. Would her son like her, his mother? Yu Yiduo only noticed Qiao Mus apron when she smelled a fragrant aroma wafting out of the kitchen. She asked in surprise, Mumu, youre cooking personally? Qiao Mu nodded. Auntie, I made curry chicken rice. Do you want to eat with Curry? Li Yan doesnt like curry! Yu Yiduo blurted out without thinking. You dont like it? Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan in a daze. He did not even tell her. Li Yan frowned and red at Yu Yiduo. Yu Yiduo knew that she had said too much, so she smiled slyly. Actually, Li Yan didnt like it when he was young. He thought that curry was the same color as shit and it tasted terrible. After that, I forced him to eat it a few times and he fell in love with it! Qiao Mu was speechless. When Madam Yu came, she was full of sh * t and urine. Couldnt they have a good meal? Yu Yiduo happily went upstairs to get her clothes. Her son was holding back from eating the food that he didnt like to eat in order to appease women. Since he wanted to make Mu Mu happy, she would add insult to injury. She would make him more annoying and see how he could eat it! Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan walking over and asked uncertainly, Uncle, do you really like it? Okay, dont listen to my mom. Sit down and eat. Li Yan sat down leisurely and took a bite with his chopsticks to dispel the little womans suspicion. In the past, he had indeed lost his appetite when he looked at the color of the curry. Now that he tried it, it was not as bad as he had imagined. As for the little womans cooking, it was neither good nor bad. It was much better than he had imagined and he could eat it. Uncle, is it delicious? Qiao Mu asked nervously. Yes, its delicious. Only then did Qiao Mu let out a sigh of relief. She took a bite in delight, then nodded. Its indeed delicious! Yu Yiduo came downstairs and walked to the dining table to take a look. You sure have an appetite. Mu Mu is so virtuous! Li Yan looked up at Yu Yiduo. Mom, my dad is still waiting for you outside. What he meant was that it was time for him to leave. Yu Yiduo snorted and turned around to leave. However, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Qiao Mu with a smile. Mumu, life isnt a game. Although its good to have some fun in life, its better to y less role-ying games. Li Yan has a lot of demands. Dont always cooperate with him and let his evil scheme seed! * Cough * Qiao Mu nearly spat out a mouthful of rice. [Today is even worse. I wont abuse you during the New Year (So, youll abuse you after the New Year?)] I wont torture Mumu, dont worry..] Chapter 489 - 489: Xiaxia, 1 1 m Back Chapter 489: Xiaxia, 1 1 m Back Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus small face was flushed red from holding it in, and she did not know how to respond. She finally knew who Li Yans indecent behavior was like. It was indeed his biological mother! Li Yan red at Yu Yiduo. Yu Yiduo immediately turned around and left. You guys enjoy your meal. Im leaving! After Yu Yiduo left, she finally had a quiet meal. After the meal, Qiao Mu curled up on the sofa, and a business card fell out of her pocket. It was the name card that Ning Tongtong had given her earlier in the day. She hadnt looked at it carefully at that time, but now she saw that the name card said that she was a clothing designer from TANG. This brand should be abination of Ning Tongtongs Tong. Qiao Mu looked at the man beside her. Uncle, is Ning Tongtong a very famous designer? Why havent I heard of her brand before? I dont know. Why did you mention this person again? Li Yan asked calmly. I saw her at the fashion show today. She gave me her business card. Shes only three or four years older than me, but shes already be a designer for a brand. She must be very capable, right? Li Yan leanedzily on the sofa and wrapped his arm around Qiao Mus waist. In another three to four years, youll be even more powerful than her. She even said that she wanted to be your personal designer. She must be very capable. Otherwise, she wouldnt be so confident. I dont know if she has the ability, but Shu Xinyu is the boss of a fashion designpany. Its easy for her to promote a designer. Realization dawned on Qiao Mu. So he has a backer! Li Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her. You can have a backer too. I dont want to go through the back door. I want to rely on my own efforts to achieve results in thispetition. The little womans confident look made Li Yan smile. He stood up and carried the little woman in his arms, then strode upstairs. You shouldnt be thinking about this now. You should be thinking about how to make it up to me. Qiao Mu was speechless. This night was destined to not be peaceful. For Chi Xia, it was not a peaceful day. At noon, Chi Xia and Su Chen finished their lunch together. As they were leaving the dining room, they heard a voice, Xiaxia Xiaxia? This voice,ing from the clear male voice, was both familiar and unfamiliar. Chi Xia stood rooted to the spot for a while, not daring to turn around to verify the other partys identity. Seeing that Chi Xia did not turn around, the man rushed to her and grabbed her hand. Xiaxia, its me. Im back. Chi Xias face darkened. She flung his hand away forcefully. Gu Cheng, dont touch me! Su Chens eyes darkened. Gu Cheng? Was this her ex-boyfriend? Gu Cheng didnt notice Su Chen. He stared at Chi Xia and said, Xiaxia, I came back this time to exin to you. Listen to me, Ill definitely resolve this matter. Can you wait for me? He would definitely resolve this matter? It meant that it had not been resolved yet! Chi Xiaughed sarcastically. Gu Cheng, thats enough. I have nothing to do with you now. Please stop pestering me! Xiaxia Gu Cheng had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by a cold voice. What? Do you think I dont exist? Gu Cheng was stunned. Only then did she see a man standing at the side! Su Chen took two steps forward and pulled Chi Xia to his side. He looked at Gu Cheng coldly. You didnt seem to remember what I told you on the phonest time. Dont ever appear in front of her again! Su Chens words made Gu Cheng frown.. Chapter 490 - 490: We Said We Would Be Together For A Lifetime Chapter 490: We Said We Would Be Together For A Lifetime Trantor: 549690339 Gu Cheng looked at Chi Xia in disbelief. Xiaxia, you have a new boyfriend. Is that true? Although Chi Xia did not understand Su Chens intentions, she still nodded. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. It wont happen! Xiaxia, you only love me, just like me. I only love you too. We promised to be together for the rest of our lives. How could you date someone else?! Chi Xias face darkened when she heard Gu Chengs angry question. Gu Cheng, were already in the past. You have your fiance. It has nothing to do with you who Im with! Before this, Chi Xia had at least had some good feelings for Gu Cheng. Even though they hade to this end, she still believed that everything was still good. However, at this moment, he had an attitude that said that she had let him down! Gu Cheng was stumped by Chi Xias words. He looked at Su Chen and said rudely, Sir, Xiaxia and I are truly in love. If you know whats good for you, please dont pester Xiaxia. Chi Xia widened her eyes in shock. She never expected Gu Cheng to say such a thing. In the past, Gu Chengqian was polite. Why would he say such unreasonable words? Su Chen raised his eyebrows and moved his thin lips. My biggest w is that I dont know whats good for me. You said that youre in love. Do you want me to prove to you who shes in love with now? As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Xia saw the tall figure pressing down on her. Before she could react, her lips turned cold. She had been kissed! Chi Xias eyes widened as she looked at his face. She instinctively wanted to push him away, but her hand was grabbed. The man narrowed his eyes and looked at her. His gaze seemed to be saying that if she wanted to get rid of Gu Cheng, she had to cooperate with him. Chi Xia couldnt describe the sadness she felt at that moment. She made up her mind and closed her eyes. Su Chen looked at the fair face in front of him. Although she had her eyes closed and looked willing, he could see her resistance from her expression. Her lips were so soft that he could not help but feel it when he touched them. Su Chens eyes darkened as he ced his hand on the back of Chi Xias head and deepened the kiss. Chi Xia was caught off guard and widened her eyes in shock. She wanted to push him away, but she could not. This man must be crazy! Taking advantage of her on the street! After a while, Su Chen finally let go of the woman in his arms. He nced coldly at Gu Cheng, who was already shocked. No matter what happened between the two of you in the past, Im telling you clearly now that this woman is mine from now on! After Su Chen finished speaking, he held Chi Xias hand and left. Before Chi Xia could react, he had already led her into the car. The car started and quickly drove past Gu Cheng. Only then did she react and re at the man driving the car angrily. Su Chen, what are you doing? Who told you to kiss me? Su Chen did not think much of it. Im helping you. Why? Do you want to burn the bridge after crossing it? Chi Xias face turned red, either from anger or embarrassment. She pulled out a tissue and wiped her lips hard. This action sessfully earned Su Chens cold face. I havent despised you yet. How dare you despise me? His low voice was filled with a hint of displeasure. If you despise me, why did you kiss me? Chi Xia gritted her teeth. Did you forget that I vomited all over you? Arent you disgusted by me? Su Chen frowned. Why are you so unlikeable? I dont need you to like me! Su Chen narrowed his eyes.. So, you want that kid to like you? Chapter 491 - 491: You I re the Scum! Chapter 491: You I re the Scum! Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xias eyes dimmed and she stopped wiping her lips with a tissue. She lowered her head and stopped talking. When she thought of Gu Chengs words just now, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. He said that they had agreed to be together for a lifetime, but he did not give her the confidence to be with him for the rest of her life. He was so confident that she still loved him, but he did not know that when she found out that he had a fiance, she had already given up on him. He did not realize what he had done wrong. He kept saying that he wanted to solve the familys problems, but he did not really show her! At this moment, Chi Xia was not upset that Gu Cheng had a fiance. What really hurt her was Gu Chengs attitude! Su Chen lowered his head and looked at the man beside him, his eyes darkening. Chi Xia, that man just now was obviously a scumbag. Is it worth it to be sad for that scumbag? Chi Xias heart sank and she retorted, Youre the scum! Su Chen narrowed his eyes and mmed on the brakes. He turned to Chi Xia and smirked coldly. If thats the case, I wont let you down! Chi Xia stared at him. Before she could react, the man in front of her suddenly approached her, grabbed her head, and kissed her again! Chi Xias eyes widened in shock. This kiss was unlike the previous one where their lips did not touch deeply. Instead, it was a direct and direct one! Chi Xia was furious when she realized what had happened. She pushed the man in front of her away and quickly opened the car door to escape. Chi Xias mind went nk. This was the first time she had done it on purpose for Gu Cheng to see. Was this man really crazy? Why did he kiss her again and again? In the car, Su Chen frowned as he watched the woman flee in a panic. His fingers brushed across his lips, and his pitch-ck eyes darkened bit by bit, looking bottomless. Chi Xia walked aimlessly and wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. The corner of her mouth was numb from the pain. Her nose was sore and her vision blurred. She couldnt care less about the fact that she was on the street. She squatted down and buried her face in her knees, crying uncontrobly. Chi Xia did not know how long she had been crying, but she was tired from squatting. She stood up stiffly and continued walking along the sidewalk. She didnt realize that the car she thought she had ditched was following her not far behind. The man in the car stared at her lonely back. Shepletely ignored the gazes of others. Like an abandoned puppy, she cried silently and helplessly. Every time, he could see this woman in such a sorry state. After a while, the woman finally stood up and walked forward stiffly. After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped and stared at a bar by the roadside before walking in. Su Chen frowned slightly. Was this woman trying to get drunk in broad daylight? Other than the waiters, there were no other customers in the bar. Chi Xia sat at the bar counter and ordered a bottle of beer. When Su Chen walked in, he saw Chi Xia gulping down the beer from the bottle in her hand. She had already finished half of the beer in her hand. It was obvious that this woman was crazy and wanted to get herself drunk. Su Chen sat on the sofa in the corner and looked at the woman from afar. He didnt know why he was paying attention to this woman. He could have just left her here and left. Chi Xia finished a bottle of beer and ordered a second one. She then ordered a stronger foreign wine. [Ive been busy all day. I didnt watch the Spring Festival G on New Years Eve. Hurry up and update a chapter. Happy New Year, girls! Thank you everyone for your support of Suying. I can get more red packets and read more articles in the new year. Everything will go smoothly in the new year.. Happy and happy! Love the mud Chapter 492 - 492: I Won ‘t Let You Take Charge Chapter 492: I Won t Let You Take Charge Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia took a sip of the strong liquor and felt a spicy taste in her mouth. She could not help but frown. She endured the burning pain in her stomach and poured ss after ss into her mouth. She took out her phone and sent a message to Gu Cheng.Gu Cheng, its over between us. Goodbye! Staring at the message, Chi Xia took a deep breath and stood up to leave. However, she lost her bnce and fell onto the chair. His head was dizzy, and the object in front of him was shaking. At this moment, the man at the bar came out and held Chi Xia. Miss, are you alright? Chi Xia felt a man pressing against her. Although she was a little drunk, she could still feel a hand on her waist. That hand was pinching her waist a few times. Shocked, Chi Xia used all her strength to push the man away. The man was caught off guard and was pushed onto the bar counter. Heughed when he saw Chi Xia swaying unsteadily. Miss, youre drunk. Im helping you. Go away. Chi Xias head was getting heavier and heavier. She leaned against the bar counter and her consciousness was getting more and more blurry. The bar was empty in broad daylight. The man saw that Chi Xia was already drunk and became presumptuous. He grabbed Chi Xias hand and was about to help her up when his wrist was suddenly grabbed by arge hand. The strength of the hand was so great that the man suddenly turned his head to look to the side and happened to meet a cold face. Su Chen grabbed the mans wrist and flung him away. He nced at Chi Xia and helped her up with a cold face before striding out. Chi Xia pushed Su Chen as she looked up. When she saw Su Chens face, she gave up struggling and allowed him to take her away. Looking at the drunk woman, Su Chen frowned and threw her into the backseat. The car drove straight back to their residence and threw Chi Xia onto the bed. Just as they were about to leave, someone grabbed the corner of her clothes. Su Chen turned around and saw the woman on the bed. She looked at him pitifully. Dont go Su Chen paused and narrowed his eyes. Chi Xia got up and slowly climbed onto Su Chens neck. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Su Chens body stiffened when he saw her soft lips with a hint of passion. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman in front of him without moving. She was clearly disgusted by his kiss earlier, but now she took the initiative to kiss him! Su Chens body tightened and he grabbed onto Chi Xias head, turning from passive to active When Chi Xia woke up, she felt sore all over. His arm moved slightly, and his waist was pressed down by a heavy arm. She widened her eyes in shock and her heart skipped a beat. Her memory before she got drunk was very blurry. She only remembered that a man came up to her and pushed him away. Her consciousness became unclear. She turned her head with a pale face and saw Su Chens sleeping face! Why was it this man Su Chen opened his eyes and saw Chi Xias pale face. He narrowed his eyes. Youre awake? Why is it you? Su Chens eyes turned cold. Who do you think it is? Why, youve already forgotten how to be so proactive? Chi Xia bit her lip and sat up without saying a word. She picked up her clothes and put them on. Su Che grabbed her wrist, Chi Xia, dont you want to say something? What do you want me to say? I woke up on your bed after I was drunk. I dont want to know anything. Ill pretend that nothing happened.. Dont worry, I wont let you take responsibility! Chapter 493 - 493-Break Up Chapter 493:-Break Up Trantor: 549690339 Su Chens lips curled into a sinister smile as his fingers held Chi Xias chin.? so, you thought I was someone elsest night? Chi Xias face paled. Su Chen understood without saying anything. Chi Xia wanted to refute Su Chens question, but she did not know what to say. She knew that Su Chen was not Gu Cheng. She did not treat him as Gu Cheng. She just let herself go after getting drunk. However, when she woke up, she regretted it. Chi Xia gritted her teeth as her chin was pinched. She could not hold it in anymore and tears welled up in her eyes. She pushed away Su Chens hand that was pinching his chin. She opened her mouth and said in a choked voice, Why are you acting like youre at a disadvantage? I didnt force you. Were both willing to do this. After we sleep together, well part ways! Su Chen narrowed his eyes, grabbed Chi Xias head, and kissed her. Chi Xias eyes widened. Her vision was so misty that she could not see the mans face clearly. She pushed him away. Su Chen, you bastard! What? Youre the only one who can seduce me. Ive already satisfied you if you want it. Now that I want it, its your turn to satisfy me! As soon as he finished speaking, the mans hand reached into the nket, causing Chi Xias body to freeze. She shook her head hard and hit the mans back with all her might. She felt a sense of shame, and her tears flowed more and more fiercely. Su Chen felt a wave of anger in his heart. He thought about how she had taken the initiativest night. It wasnt just him. If it had been anyone else, she would have done the same. He increased the strength of his hand, but in return, the woman trembled. There was a hint of saltiness on her lips. He suddenly woke up and realized that the woman under him was crying with tears all over her face. This womanWhat did she take him for? Su Chen had never felt so angry before. She wanted it, but she rejected him so much if she didnt! He could have any woman he wanted, but this woman had treated him as a substitute! Su Chens face was cold as he sat up and looked at Chi Xia coldly. His thin lips moved and he said, Get lost! Chi Xia heaved a sigh of relief. She picked up the clothes on the floor and ran out of the bedroom in a sorry state During the weekend, Qiao Mu and Li Yan stayed at home and did not go out. In the afternoon, Qiao Mu received a call from a staff member of Key Studio, informing her to go to Key Studio tomorrow morning to understand thepetition process. The next day, Qiao Mu arrived at Key Studio excitedly. After entering the elevator, Qiao Mu pressed the button for the floor. Suddenly, the sound of high-heeled shoes ttering could be heard. Immediately after, a person pounced in front of the elevator to block the closing elevator door and quickly rushed into the elevator. Qiao Mu was looking down at her phone, but before she could raise her head, she heard a soft female voice. Miss Qiao, we meet again. This voice Qiao Mu raised her head and saw Ning Tongtong looking at her in surprise. She nodded politely. Hello, Miss Ning. Ning Tongtong saw the floor number on the elevator and was slightly stunned. Youre going to the 8th floor too? Miss Qiao, are you here to participate in the fashion designerpetition organized by Key? Ning Tongtong used the word also, which meant that she was also here to participate in thepetition. Ning Tongtong had her own brand in the fashion design industry and was supported by Shu Xinyu. She could be considered to be a little famous, but she still came to participate in thepetition. Without waiting for Qiao Mu to speak, Ning Tongtong immediatelyughed, and her tone was unquestionably certain. That shouldnt be possible. The participants of thispetition are all working fashion designers, and almost every designer represents the clothing brand behind them. My clothing brand, TANG, is mainly targeted at young girls.. Im sure you know about it, right? Chapter 494 - 494: She’s Not a Soft Persimmons Chapter 494: Shes Not a Soft Persimmons Trantor: 549690339 As she said this, Ning Tongtong straightened her back, and her words were full of bragging. Seeing Ning Tongtongs arrogance, Qiao Mu did not have the heart to say anything to attack her. She really knew nothing about Tongs. Perhaps it was because she rarely visited branded clothing stores and had never seen Ning Tongtongs designs. However, Ning Tongtong was right. Fashion designpetitions were not umon, but they were organized by Key personally. They were internationalpetitions, which was also the reason why Qiao Mu was so excited. Logically speaking, she was indeed not qualified to participate in such a grandpetition, but who would have thought that she would be so lucky! If they could get good results in thispetition, it would not only affect the domestic fashion design industry, but also internationally. After all, Key represented Paris Fashion to hold thepetition in China. Qiao Mu was wholeheartedly looking forward to the details of thepetition, so she did not pay attention to Ning Tongtongs words. The elevator door opened, and Ning Tongtong was the first to step out. She turned around and saw Qiao Mus lowered head and silent expression, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. Miss Qiao, dont be discouraged. Even if you dont have a chance to participate in thepetition this time, you might have a chance in the future. However, as long as I can win thepetition, the position of Young Master Lis personal designer will definitely be mine. Qiao Mu raised her brows when she heard this, and she met Ning Tongtongs provocative gaze. The corners of Qiao Mus lips curled up, and she very generously said, 1 wish you sess. Ning Tongtong looked at the smile on Qiao Mus face, and a hint of jealousy shed in her eyes. The girl in front of her was in high spirits, and her face was beautiful and dazzling. Ning Tongtong chuckled. Im sorry, Miss Qiao. I forgot that you have a special rtionship with Young Master Lit I shouldnt be saying this in front of you. Although he was apologetic, his tone was not apologetic at all. Instead, it carried a hint of provocation. Qiao Mu shook her head disapprovingly, and her tone was indifferent. Its alright. Everyone has some unrealistic dreams. I wont take it to heart. Qiao Mu was not a pushover. How could she turn a blind eye to a man who was openly spying on her in front of her and even used her best fashion design to pressure her? Since the other party was so confident, she did not mind pouring cold water on him. With her around, how could her mans position as a personal fashion designer fall into the hands of others? It would be hers sooner orter! Even if she wasnt now, this position had to be empty and wait for the day she had the ability to take it! Ning Tongtongs expression instantly turned ugly. She never expected that Qiao Mu would confidentlyugh at her for having unrealistic thoughts. What right did this Qiao Mu have? How could a college student like her, who had yet to graduate,pare to her status in the fashion design industry? Ning Tongtongs face darkened. Dont me me for not reminding you. Thepetition process is not open to the public. Its better for you to leave quickly. Ning Tongtong left this sentence and turned to head to thepetition hall. She was not sure about Qiao Mus rtionship with Li Yan, so she did not want to have a bad rtionship with Qiao Mu. However, she still could not stand Qiao Mu. When she saw Qiao Mu standing beside Li Yan at the banquet, she could not hide the jealousy in her heart. What right did a woman who could notpare to her have to stand by Li Yans side? Ning Tongtong suddenly recalled Shu Xinyu saying that Li Yans influence was starting to attack the Qiao Corporation. Qiao Mu was the daughter of the Qiao Corporations chairman, so Li Yan must have another motive for being with her! He was clearly a target to be used, but he really took himself seriously! Chapter 495 - 495: Disqualification Chapter 495: Disqualification Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu arrived at the venue of the preliminary round. There were over a hundred people waiting in the huge hall. Among so many people, it was indeed not easy to stand out. Right at this moment, Ning Tongtong appeared in front of her. The other party had a look of shock on her face, but Qiao Mu ignored her and found a seat to sit down. Ning Tongtong was stunned when she saw Qiao Mu. A notice was required to enter the venue of the preliminary round. There was only one possibility for Qiao Mu to be here-she was here to participate in thepetition! While Ning Tongtong was shocked, she recalled the words she said earlier when she thought Qiao Mu was here to watch thepetition, and she instantly felt like a joke! Why would Qiao Mu participate in thepetition? All the designers present had good results and were nominated by major fashion brandpanies. Qiao Mu was just a college student who had yet to graduate, so what right did she have topete on the same stage as them? At this moment, the organizer went on stage to give a speech and exin the process of thepetition. Thepetition was divided into three rounds: preliminary, semi-final, and final. The proposition for the first round of the preliminary round was: The contestants were to design two pieces of work that best reflected the proposition within a week and send them to the designated email address. The judges would review them and if they were not selected, they would automatically withdraw from thepetition. If they passed, they would advance to the semi-finals. The semi-finals required the contestants to turn their design concepts into clothes and model them on the runway. After passing theprehensive evaluation, they would advance to the final round. The contestants who could advance to the finals would naturally be signed by the major fashion brands. To Qiao Mu, the most attractive thing was that the winner of thepetition could join the studio of the Key brand and even participate in the winter fashion week in Paris, France. Qiao Mu had always been very confident in her profession, but she felt extremely pressured when facing hundreds of experienced seniors. After the introduction of thepetition procedures, Qiao Mu was about to leave when she saw Shu Xinyu appear at the venue. Ning Tongtong greeted her with a smile. When Qiao Mu reached the door, she heard Ning Tongtongs sweet voice. Mom, why are you here? Youre the investor. You dont have to appear in the preliminaries. Shu Xinyu smiled. I happened to pass by, so I came to take a look at the situation here. How is it? Are you confident in the preliminary rounds question? Of course. How can the preliminaries stump me? Ning Tongtong was very confident. Qiao Mu listened to their conversation and finally understood that Shu Xinyu was the investor. No wonder Ning Tongtong was so arrogant! Just as Qiao Mu was about to walk past the two of them, she heard Shu Xinyus voice. Miss Qiao, why are you here? Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Shu Xinyu. Hello, Director Shu. Im here to participate in thepetition. Mom, shes just a student. Letting her participate in thepetition is a great disrespect to other capable contestants, Ning Tongtong said. Shu Xinyus expression was cold as she looked at the secretary beside her. Why is the selection of contestants so rxed? The secretary immediately understood Shu Xinyus meaning and replied, President Shu, I will inform the person in charge of thepetition and have them strictly check and screen the unqualified contestants again. Qiao Mus expression darkened. President Shu, I passed the registration review with my work. You cant use your power to target me. Miss Qiao, youre so young, yet you still want to teach me? Shu Xinyu said coldly. Im just doing my job. I have the right to disqualify you from thepetition.. Chapter 496 - 496 Idol Came to Help Chapter 496 - 496 Idol Came to Help Shu Xinyus eyesnded on Qiao Mu, and she was extremely cold. A formal review? Thepetition is for capable designers. Miss Qiao, youre a student who hasnt graduated yet. Isnt it a waste of time to participate in thepetition? The other partys undisguised disdain made Qiao Mus gaze turn colder. She did not back down in her words. Director Shu, how do you know Im incapable? Are you questioning the judges who reviewed my work? Shu Xinyu sneered. Youre really sharp-tongued. Im indeed doubting, doubting how you obtained the qualifications to register? Qiao Mu felt a wave of anger in her heart. This Shu Xinyu was simply using her official position to take revenge for a personal grudge! Last time at the banquet, when Shu Xinyu saw her with Li Yan, her attitude instantly became very bad. It was as if Li Yan was Ning Tongtongs and she should not have seduced him! However, the other party was the investor and wanted to disqualify her. No matter how reasonable she was, what could she do? At this moment, a maic male voice sounded. I was the one who gave her the qualifications to register. Qiao Mu turned her head and saw a tall and sturdy figure walking over. It was a KEY! This was the second time Qiao Mu had seen Key in person. Today, Key was dressed in casual clothes and did not look as cold and aloof as those on the runway. He appeared extremelyzy and extraordinarily handsome! Qiao Mu could tell at a nce that the clothes Key was wearing were thetest autumn designs that he had personally designed. Key walked over, and his gaze indifferently swept past Qiao Mu beforending on Shu Xinyu. The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile. Director Shu, you seem to have a problem with my taste in choosing contestants? Chapter 497 - 497: 497-Waiting to Bloom Chapter 497 - 497: 497-Waiting to Bloom Trantor: 549690339 What was more important than being recognized by an idol? In an instant, Qiao Mus confidence in thepetition increased a little. At this moment, a womans voice sounded behind him. Key, why didnt you tell me that you left the office? Ive been looking for you everywhere. Amy walked over and was slightly stunned when she saw Qiao Mu in front of Key. She smiled warmly and said, Hello, Miss Qiao. Im Keys secretary, Amy. Qiao Mu looked at him. Hello, do you know me? Yeah, Ive seen your work. Its very unique. No wonder Key gave you special privileges and allowed you to participate in thepetition. Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Thank you. By the way, Ms. Qiao, I want to ask, do you really like Tong? Amy asked nonchntly. Qiao Mu was puzzled. Why do you ask? I didnt pay attention to this brand before. I only recently found out that Tongs is a brand designed by Ning Tongtong. Oh, its nothing. Im doing some research on the clothing market. I thought a young man like you would like a young brand like TANG. After a pause, Amy said, Miss Qiao, youre a contestant selected by Key. Were looking forward to your performance. Dont disappoint Key. I will do my best! Qiao Mus tone was firm. She would definitely not let go of such a rare opportunity. After Qiao Mu left, Key looked at Amy calmly. Didnt I say that well find out everything during thepetition? You dont have to be in such a hurry to find out. I was just asking casually to see Qiao Mus reaction. When I mentioned Tongs, her expression didnt change at all. She didnt have the guilty conscience to imitate Tongs design concept. This matter is very strange. If Qiao Mu really giarized, then this girls ups and downs are too deep. This time, youve misjudged her. Amyughed gloatingly. Thats hard to say, Key said. The design of the preliminaries limits the ability of the contestants. Its clear who has the ability and who giarized the design. Amy nodded. She seemed to have thought of something, and her tone was indifferent. On the way here, I heard people discussing that you didnt give Shu Xinyu face just now because of Qiao Mu. It seems like this Qiao Mu is quite special to you. This youngdy is indeed quite pretty. When did you be so nosy? Key nced at Amy. Im just using Qiao Mus incident to remind Shu Xinyu that even though shes the investor, Im still the one who decides thepetitions rules. If shes unhappy, I can change the investor. Ive already given her enough face by making an exception and letting her daughter participate. If she doesnt know her limits and thinks of herself as her boss, I wont buy it! Amy smiled. I thought you were doing this for the youngdy. However, Shu Xinyu should know what her position is in order to be the main sponsor of herpany in thepetition. Qiao Mu left Key Studio, her mind filled with thoughts about the preliminaries. A flower that was about to bloom was a process of growth. This design concept seemed easy to understand, but it was a little difficult to write. Since Qiao Mu did not have sses in the afternoon, she went to a nearby cafe to sit down ande up with a design for the preliminary round. The word budding reminded her of the night when she turned from a young girl into a woman Uh, a fuzzy memory! Up until now, her biggest regret was that she had slept with Li Yan under the influence of drugs! The most important transformation process waspletely unknown! Chapter 498 - 498: How Did You Feel the First Time Chapter 498 - 498: How Did You Feel the First Time Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu pondered for a long time before she took out her phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Li Yan. Uncle, do you remember how you felt the night we had our first time? Qiao Mu could imagine how Li Yan would reply to her in a frivolous manner as she stared at the message. She quickly deleted the message and pped her forehead. She shouldnt have asked that man such a question! Qiao Mu propped her chin up as she imagined the scene at that time. Actually, it wasnt that she couldnt remember everything. She could vaguely recall some scenes, but her actions didnt seem to have the shyness that a young girl should have. Thinking about the second timeQiao Mus face instantly turned red, burning hot. She picked up the coffee and took a big sip, almost burning her tongue. At this moment, her phone rang. It was Li Yan. Qiao Mu took a sip of cold water and answered the call nonchntly. Uncle, whats the matter? Is your matter over? The mans deep voice sounded faintly. Yes, it just ended. Im preparing for the preliminary round. Li Yan hummed in response and asked, Why did you withdraw the message that you sent me? Qiao Mu coughed lightly. Um, I sent it to the wrong person. Oh? Then who do you want to send it to? I didnt know that you had a hobby of sharing our first experience with others. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched fiercely. He actually saw the contents of the message! He was so busy with work, how could he have seen it so quickly! Before Qiao Mu could reply, Li Yan could imagine how embarrassed the little thing was. Li Yan leaned back in his chairzily and chuckled. Why are you suddenly asking this? Dont tell me that when youre alone, you like to recall every little thing that happened between us every night? Or did I not satisfy you recently and let you Dont talk nonsense! Qiao Mu quickly interrupted the man. Ahhhh! This bastard, how could he be so shameless! She must be crazy to ask him this question! Qiao Mu blushed and immediately changed the topic, saying seriously, 0ur proposition for the preliminary round is to be in the bud, so I just asked. I see. Then youre asking the wrong question. You should be asking how you were that night. Li Yans voice carried a hint of amusement. Without waiting for Qiao Mu to speak, he continued, Since you want to know how I felt at that time, I can satisfy your curiosity. To me, that night, you were like a piece of fat meat that was sent to my mouth. It looked quite appetizing. It just so happens that Im hungry. Its a waste not to eat. It would be a waste not to eat it This bastardpared her to a piece of fat meat! What state am I in then? Qiao Mu asked, concealing her shyness. You, use a few words to describe you. Qiao Mu was a little curious when she heard the mans deep voice. Immediately after, she heard a series of words.Passionate, open, crazy, and Hungry. Qiao Mu was speechless. Hungry your sister! Li Yan chuckled softly. Little thing, you should give up on using your own experience as a reference. The phrase budding doesnt seem to be reflected in you at all. If the topic of the next match is to be unable to endure hunger and thirst, its very suitable for you. Qiao Mu was about to go mad from anger. She huffed angrily. Im hanging up! Her angry voice was met with an even more unrestrainedughter from the man. Alright, I wont tease you anymore. When we get home tonight, we can reminisce about the first night. Qiao Mus face reddened, and she immediately refused, No! Im going back to the dormitory.. Goodbye! Chapter 499 - 499: Reliving the Mood (1) Chapter 499 - 499: Reliving the Mood (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu said and hung up the phone. If she went back tonight, wouldnt she be waiting to be bullied by him? On the other end, Li Yan shook his head with a smile while facing the busy tone. The phone rang and Lu Jingzhis voice could be heard, Big Brother, Little Four has returned to the country. Tonight is Glorious Dark Night. Are youing? Li Yan remembered that he would be alone when he went back at night, so he said, Alright. Lu Jingzhi was stunned. He did not expect Li Yan to agree so readily. He thought that Young Master Li would definitely reject him outright and go home to apany his little nephew. Qiao Mu sat in the cafe for the entire afternoon and simply came up with a few drafts, but she was still very dissatisfied. After leaving the cafe, she thought about Li Yansst words. He asked her to help her remember when she got home at night. A lingerie store. She hesitated for a moment, then braced herself and walked in. What do you need? the salesperson asked enthusiastically. The salesperson immediately understood and smiled. Miss, do you want sexy pajamas? What do you think of this one? Qiao Mus expression was a little unnatural when she heard the words sexy nightmare. When she saw the almost transparent chiffon nightgown in the salespersons hand, she felt uneasy. Shaking her head, she said, I dont want this kind. I want teenage pajamas, the kind thats a little conservative. Dont be too explicit. I want something more reserved. I know. Men nowadays dont like women who are too sexy. They look pure but are also scheming. Only by covering up their faces will they be more interested. The saleswoman looked at Qiao Mu as if she was saying that the youngdy was very knowledgeable! Qiao Mu was speechless. Big sister, can we not be so thorough? In the end, under the sales assistants enthusiastic promotion, Qiao Mu finally chose a nightgown that she was rather satisfied with. She quickly paid the bill and fled the scene. She had really put in a lot of effort for thispetition. Although she told Li Yan that he would not be home tonight, Qiao Mu still sneaked back to the Li family vi. In the end, she found out from the butler that Li Yan would not be home for dinner tonight. She was secretly d that she could prepare well this way. After dinner, Qiao Mu returned to the Qiao familys residence to have dinner with Qiao Jiannan. Qiao Ya did not go home. Qiao Jiannan was the only one in the huge Qiao family vi. After Qiao Jiannan was discharged from the hospital, even the servants in the house were fired. Only two or three people were left to take care of the vis hygiene and three meals a day. The originally lively home had be deserted. Mumu, how are you and Li Yan doing? Qiao Jiannan asked as he ate. Qiao Mu nodded. Daddy, were doing fine. Thats good. I havent asked about this. I was worried at first, but when I thought about how the Li family helped the Qiao family when I was hospitalized, I could see how much he cared about you. Qiao Mu smiled. Dad, dont worry. Well be fine. Qiao Jiannan put down his chopsticks. Mumu, have you ever thought about looking for your biological parents? Qiao Mus eyes dimmed. Its been so many years. How can we possibly find them just because we want to? If you have any problems, you cane to me for help. Whether youve found your biological parents or not, youre still my daughter. I support all your decisions. Qiao Jiannan patted Qiao Mus hand. Ill draw up the contract and officially transfer the shares of the Qiao Corporation that I wanted to give you to you. Dad is already old. I cant let you get nothing while Im still sober.. Chapter 500 - 500: Reliving the Feelings of That Time (2) Chapter 500 - 500: Reliving the Feelings of That Time (2) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu felt a lump in her throat. Dad, youre still young. Dont say such things. Yes, Im still young! Qiao Jiannan smiled. Lets invite Li Yan over for a meal some other day. Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. Her heart felt like it was filled with happiness, and she wanted to cry. At this moment, not only did she have love, but she also had kinship. When Qiao Mu returned to the Li residence, Li Yan was still not home. She stuffed her nightgown into the washing machine, then went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. After taking a shower, her nightgown was already dry. She put it on and stood in front of the mirror, sizing herself up. The nightdress was a spaghetti strap, revealing her shoulders and thighs. Thece on the hem of the dress looked pure and conservative, but there was a hint of restlessness. Qiao Mus heartbeat quickened bit by bit. She patted her slightly burning face and burrowed into the nket, but she still could not suppress the beating of her heart. In the past, she had always been passive and had to endure the mans demands. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to n everything. There was a little anticipation in her heart, waiting for that moment toe. Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh out loud in excitement when she imagined Li Yans reaction when he returned. At this moment, she was like a young girl waiting to bloom, weing the moment that belonged to her. Her joy was filled with shyness and unconceble anticipation. At this moment, Brilliant Night. Li Yan looked at Ling Xi, who had been missing for a long time, and said coldly, Little Four, youve been very dedicated recently. Youve handled the matters overseas cleanly. Why are you willing toe back? Ling Xi smiled guiltily. Brother, am I not using my actions to apologize to you? Ive reflected for so long. Please forgive me. After all, I was forced by your empress dowager. Due to Qiao Mus trip to Hong Kong and the fact that Ling Xi and Yu Yiduo had teamed up to deceive Young Master Li, Ling Xi flew overseas to avoid the disaster. Finally, after she was exhausted to death and learned that Li Yan and Qiao Mu were extremely loving, she mustered up the courage toe back. Originally, the empress dowager had vowed that she would take responsibility for the ident, but after the incident, she only cared about herself and did not have the mood to care about him. He could only me himself for trusting the wrong person! Li Yan snorted coldly. I dont mind you making a few more mistakes. That way, we canpletely hand over the matters overseas to you. Ling Xi was speechless. This was a tant threat! Ling Xi immediately changed the topic and looked at Su Chen, who was drinking quietly. Second Brother, its been a while since west met. Why are you drinking wine like water? Those who dont know might think that youre disappointed in love. After Ling Xi finished speaking, Su Chen red at him coldly. What? You still think you havent stayed abroad long enough? Ling Xi was speechless. Who did he offend? It was fine if these people didnt give him a wee dinner when he just returned, but each and every one of them seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and they were furious when they opened their mouths. Ling Xi approached Lu Jingzhi and asked in a low voice, What happened? Who provoked Second Brother? Lu Jingzhi shrugged. Youre asking me, but who should I ask? Eldest Brother was just enjoying himself in love. Could it be that Second Brother has also fallen for it? What about your ex-fiance who publicly broke off the engagement? Ling Xi asked. Ling Xi face darkened Are you deliberately looking for trouble? Alright, alright, I wont say anything else! Ling Xi stood up and said, Lets have a game of mahjong. Its said that those who are happy in love are unlucky in gambling. Brother, you should give us red packets.. Chapter 501 - 501: Reliving the Feelings of That Time (3) Chapter 501 - 501: Reliving the Feelings of That Time (3) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Muy under the nket and flipped through a fashion magazine. As time ticked by, she tossed and turned on the bed, but she could not wait for Li Yan to return. This man knew that she wouldnt be home tonight, so he fooled around outside untilte at night. Now, she had caught him, right? Qiao Mu took out her phone and sent a message to Li Yan. She probed, Uncle, are you asleep? Li Yan was ying cards to kill time. His phone rang. It was indeed a message from the little woman. The corners of his lips curled up as he replied, Im ying cards. I havent gone home yet. The corners of Qiao Mus lips curled up as she read the contents of the message. She was still considered honest. Send me a photo. I want to confirm if youre lying, she continued to pursue the matter. Li Yan was helpless. The other three people at the next table saw the man who was supposed to y his cards pick up his phone and face the mahjong table Take pictures! Ling Xis jaw dropped. This was the first time he had seen Young Master Li act like this. Big brother, what are you doing? Ling Xi asked in confusion. Do you even need to ask? Su Chen said lightly. Its obvious that hes reporting his whereabouts to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu is really capable to have brought Young Master Li to such a ce! Lu Jingzhi sighed. Li Yans expression was calm as he sent the photo out. After sending the message, he continued ying cards seriously. Very soon, Qiao Mu sent another message. lf Im not with you, youll only know how to y outside. Its already veryte. You should go home and rest early. Li Yan looked at the message. Without waiting for the game to end, he pushed the mahjong tile in front of him and stood up. Thats all for today. You can leave now. Lu Jingzhi looked at the good cards in front of him and frowned. Brother, even if you want to go back, can you wait until after this round? Im going to draw my own hand soon! Was there a need to be so impatient? Li Yan took his phone and left the room, leaving the three of them confused. After Qiao Mu sent the message, she only received one word:Alright. There was nothing else. She put down her phone and turned around helplessly. As expected, ns were not as good as changes. She had nned everything, but who would have thought that Li Yan would note back sote! Qiao Mu really couldnt take it anymore and fell asleep in a daze. When Li Yan returned home, his car was parked in the front yard. He quickly went to the bedroom and opened the door. He saw a little woman lying on the bed. This little thing actually came back behind his back! If he knew that she was home, why would he need to go out in the middle of the night to kill time? Qiao Mu was originally a light sleeper and was ready to wake up at any moment. When the door opened, she immediately opened her eyes and saw a tall figure walking toward the bed. She blinked and sat up from under the nket. She chuckled at him. Uncle, youre back! Due to Qiao Musrge movements when she stood up, the straps on her shoulders slid down her shoulders. The nightgown that was originally blocking her breasts had now slid down to her chest. Qiao Mu rubbed her eyes without noticing. She looked like a pure little white rabbit. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and the expression in his eyes deepened. He curled his lips and scanned her body. Why didnt you tell me that youre back tonight? I wanted to give you a surprise! Qiao Mu thought of her goal and shyly lowered her head. When she lowered her head, she saw her nightgown that barely covered her body.. Chapter 502 - 502 Reliving the Feelings of That Time (4) Chapter 502 - 502 Reliving the Feelings of That Time (4) Qiao Mu blushed and quickly pulled up her shoulder strap. She coughed lightly. Uncle, hurry up and wash up. Looking at the beautiful little woman in front of him, Li Yan felt his body stiffen. A ball of fire gathered in a certain ce, and he wanted to get rid of the little white rabbit immediately. Suppressing the fire burning in his heart, he got up and went into the bathroom. Qiao Mu heaved a heavy sigh of relief when the bathroom door closed. She lowered her head to look at her nightgown. Li Yan did not seem to notice that she had changed into her pajamas. She was hiding under the covers, so she could not see the sexiness of her nightgown at all. The sound of running water in the bathroomsted for a while before it stopped. Qiao Mu nervously jumped off the bed and dashed out of the bedroom in her slippers. When Li Yan came out of the bathroom, he realized that the little woman was gone. After a while, her slender body appeared at the door. Qiao Mu walked into the room with a cup of water and handed it to Li Yan. Uncle, are you thirsty? Im thirsty. Li Yan lowered his head and sized up Qiao Mu. She had covered herself with the nket just now and did not notice that the nightgown she was wearing was so short that it only covered her thighs. Her slender legs were almost exposed. From his angle, he could vaguely see the scenery under her clothes from her cor. The mes that had not been extinguished earlier instantly burned even more vigorously. Qiao Mu could feel Li Yans fiery gaze, and she passed the cup of water to him with a red face. She wanted him to drink some water, but the moment she did so, she happened to move in sync with the mans forward movement. The cup bumped into the mans chest, and the scorching heat almost burned her. She quickly retracted her hand, but the water in the cup overflowed and sprayed onto her nightgown. Chapter 503 - 503: Reliving the Feelings of That Time (5) Chapter 503 - 503: Reliving the Feelings of That Time (5) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Immediately after, the man chuckled softly. Your first time really took the initiative to make me feel at a loss. You really dont know how to be reserved at all by preparing such sexy pajamas for me. Qiao Mu was speechless. Not reserved your sister! As Li Yan spoke, he bit on the slipknot on Qiao Mus shoulder strap. With a gentle tug, the bowknot unbuckled, and the shoulder strap slipped off instantly. Initially, Qiao Mu wanted to quibble that this was just a very ordinary nightgown, but Li Yans actionspletely made her lose the ability to refute. Damn it! Who designed this strap? It was simply It was too convenient! Looking at the little womans red face, which was unusually alluring, his body tensed up. He was no longer in the mood to make fun of her and began their first time ! After that, a certain man went crazy, just like the first time, without restraint. As if to let the little woman achieve her goal and feel the feeling of first time he would ask her from time to time with concern, does it hurt? does it feel ufortable? do you like it? Although Qiao Mu knew that this man was doing it on purpose, it was still her first time experiencing his meticulous and gentle treatment. Usually, this man would never care about whether she was in pain or not. He would only say some dirty words to tease her! After the incident, Qiao Mu was already feeling drowsy. All her strength had been sucked away, so she could only stand still and let Li Yan help her clean her body. Li Yany down and pulled the little woman into his arms. He asked in a low voice, 1 worked so hard to cooperate with you. Did I create inspiration for you? Qiao Mu did not have the strength to respond to him. Her tone of selflessly sacrificing herself to cooperate with him was really asking for a beating! Before she could reply, Li Yan chuckled and kissed her forehead. Go to sleep. If you dont have any inspiration, lets do it again until we reach our goal. As your man, I will support you unconditionally. That night, Qiao Mu fell asleep in Li Yans arms contentedly. The next day, Qiao Mu returned to school and obediently attended ss. Even during ss, her mind was filled with design concepts. She couldnt help but blush when she thought about how she feltst night. In fact, the experiencest night was not without help. Initially, she thought that shyness should be as pure and conservative as a young girls dress. Afterst night, she could understand it from another angle. Qiao Mu immediately had a design concept, and she buried her head in her drafts. After three days of meticulous nning, Qiao Mu had already finished drawing the two design drafts. She then colored them on theputer, and instantly, two sets of perfect clothing renderings were presented. Chi Xia looked at her work and asked, This is your work for the preliminary round. What is the theme of thepetition? Qiao Mu said confidently, Its budding. What do you mean? Chi Xia was confused. Its literally the transformation of a woman. The first outfit is a little conservative and has the innocence of a young girl. The second outfit is a little sexy with a big V-neck behind it, revealing half of her back. This is the process of transforming from a young girl to a woman. How about it? Do you think Im doing it appropriately? The process of turning from a young girl into a woman Chi Xias expression darkened a little. She tugged at the corner of her lips and said lightly, lts pretty good. Qiao Mu sensed Chi Xias careless reply and looked at her in confusion. Xiaxia, whats wrong? You dont seem to be in a good mood.. Chapter 504 - 504: This Girl Is Interesting Chapter 504 - 504: This Girl Is Interesting Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia smiled nonchntly. Im fine. I didnt sleep wellst night and Im just not in the mood. You should focus on thepetition. Youve got such a good opportunity, so make good use of it. Qiao Mu sighed. Actually, I dont know if I can pass the preliminaries either. Im not confident. After all, thosepetitors are very powerful and more capable than me. I might be eliminated in the first round. Its rare to see you so unconfident in your profession. Mumu, you said that Key is very picky. Your work has been recognized by him, so what are you worried about? Dont worry, I believe in your ability! Chi Xia patted Qiao Mus shoulder. Also, even though you dont have any work experience, youve designed many sessful works. Otherwise, no one would spend money to buy your works. From this point alone, youre not inferior to those designers who only have a name but no real name. Perhaps among those famous designers, the person who bought your works became famous because of your works. Qiao Mu burst outughing after hearing Chi Xias words. How could that be? But thinking about it, I feel very confident.
Qiao Mu perked herself up again and checked the work she had designed. She then wrote down the design concept clearly and sent it to the designated email address for thepetitions review after organizing it. There were still two days before the final deadline, and Qiao Mu could not wait any longer. She wanted to know the results as soon as possible. Key Studio. Amy walked into Keys office with a cup of coffee and looked at Key, who was in front of theputer and reviewing the preliminary works with a serious expression. She handed him the coffee and said, From the looks of it, it seems that thepetitions work didnt satisfy you. Key rubbed his temples and took a sip of coffee. As expected, there are 120 contestants who passed the registration. Its good if half of them are left after the first round. Amy smiled. After all, all the works that are registered are the best works of the contestants. Its easy for them to pass the review. The preliminary round is a topic that is assigned to the contestants. Most designers in the market today are still unable to analyze the designated topic so flexibly and thoroughly. However, in the end, your requirements are too high. Key continued to review the works. Amy thought for a moment and asked, Oh right, have you reviewed Ning Tongtong and Qiao Mus works? No, I havent. Key nced at Amy. You care too much about these two people. Of course. Im very curious about whats going on with these two people. Alright, I wont disturb you anymore. You can continue the review Wait a minute. Key suddenly opened his mouth and stared at theputer screen. Just as Amy was confused, he saw the mans lips curl up and he chuckled. This girl is quite interesting. Amy knew that Keys expression meant that he was satisfied with his work. Curious, she stepped forward and looked at the work on theputer screen. She was a little surprised. Whose work is this? Qiao Mil. Its indeed rare for that girl to be able to create such a work. She actually analyzed the proposition of budding so thoroughly. Yes, shes the only one among the designs I reviewed today who dared to use two sets of clothing to express her design concept. Its exactly what I want. Those so-called famous designers have no idea why I want them to produce two sets of clothing. Qiao Mus works are so outstanding, but what about Ning Tongtongs? Amy asked. [It will be updated around 12..] Chapter 505 - 505: Passed the preliminaries Chapter 505 - 505: Passed the preliminaries Trantor: 549690339 Key flipped through the email and clicked on Ning Tongtongs work. Although it was not as perfect as Qiao Mus, itpletely matched the design style of the brand TANG, and it was quite fitting for the proposition. If Qiao Mus designs were inferior to Ning Tongtongs, it could be said that Qiao Mu had imitated Ning Tongtongs brand style, while Qiao Mus designs werepletely superior to Ning Tongtongs. With such design talent, it was impossible for her to giarize a small brand like Ning Tongtong. Key rubbed his chin. It seemed like a misunderstanding. Maybe it was just a coincidence. While Qiao Mu was sleeping soundly in the dormitory, her phone rang. A few days ago, she had stayed up all night to look for inspiration for her work, causing her biological clock to be in chaos.
She was woken up by the ringtone. She reluctantly picked up the phone and mumbled, Hello, Hello, this is Key Studio. Is this Miss Qiao Mu? A female voice sounded. Yes, I am Qiao Mu replied in a daze. Suddenly, she realized that the other party had said the words Key Studio. Her eyes widened and she sat up immediately. Hello, Im Qiao Mu. Miss Qiao Mu, youve passed the preliminary rounds review. Pleasee to Key Studio next Tuesday to prepare for the semi-finals. Qiao Mus sleepiness instantly disappeared. She waspletely unprepared for the surprise, and she was still floating even after the call ended. She really passed the preliminaries! Qiao Mu immediately dialed Li Yans number. When the call connected, Qiao Mu asked, Uncle, are you busy now? Im not busy. At the same time, Li Yan was in the middle of a high-level meeting. This phone call had obviously dyed the progress of the meeting, but a certain man was still talking on the phone in front of all the higher-ups in thepany without blushing or jumping. These few days, the little thing had been busy with thepetition and had no time to apany him. Fortunately, she had taken the initiative that night, which made him rather satisfied, so the resentment in his heart did not umte into a mountain. Whats the matter? he asked indifferently. Are you out of inspiration and looking for me to create inspiration for you again? Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu couldnt help but blush when she recalled her first time that night. Even through the phone, she could still imagine the evil expression on a certain mans face. However, Qiao Mu was wrong this time. Li Yan was as serious as he could be right now. Young Master Li naturally could not reveal his true nature in front of outsiders. Qiao Mu coughed lightly. Uncle, if youre not busy, can I treat you to lunch? The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he replied indifferently, Alright. Then go ahead and pick me up at noon. Li Yan hung up the phone and looked at the people in front of him with a cold expression. He said as if nothing had happened,Continue. At noon, Li Yan arrived at T University. Qiao Mu jogged out of the school gate, and when she saw a familiar car, she got in. Li Yan drove the car himself. As he started the car, he asked, Where to? Whatever you say! She was treating him, so he could eat whatever he wanted. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. I have the final say? Then lets go home. Huh? Help you find inspiration. Qiao Mu was speechless. Could he still have some face? Li Yan could not help butugh when he saw the shy look on the little womans face. He raised his hand and patted her head. I didnt see you so shy when you took the initiative. Li Yan! If you say it again, Ill be angry! Qiao Mus small face puffed up and turned red. Li Yan chuckled and changed the topic. Why are you suddenly treating me to a meal? Qiao Mu pouted.. I have good news for you! Chapter 506 - 506: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime (1) Chapter 506 - 506: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes as if she was saying, Quicklye and ask me. However, Li Yan did not ask. His thin lips curled up slightly with a trace of a devilish smile. He pretended to be thinking and said, Let me guess, what do you mean by good news? The man thought for a moment and slowly said, guessed it. Qiao Mus eyes lit up, and she raised her chin slightly in a haughty manner, looking as if she was waiting to be praised. Then, she heard the mans voice. It should be because my performance that night was so good that it gave you a lot of inspiration for yourpetition work. Thats why you have to treat me to a meal to reward your man for his excellent performance. Qiao Mu was speechless.
That was not the case at all, alright? Uh, although it did give her a little inspiration, that was not the main point! He did not mention the main point! Qiao Mu snorted when she saw the mans conceited expression. Whats so good about performing well? Hes so skilled and doesnt have the clumsiness thats expected of a first time. I can tell at a nce that hes a yboy. Hes not helpful to my creation at all! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Really? But why do I feel that you are more skilled than me? My woman is so proactive. If I dont act more skillfully, wont I lose face? I didnt take the initiative! You specially prepared a nightgown for me and deliberately nned for the entire night. If this isnt considered taking the initiative, then if you want to take the initiative, how surprised will I be? This bastard! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and red at him with a red face. I did n for the whole night, but unfortunately, someone didnt work hard and didnt achieve the effect I wanted. The n went to waste. The moment Qiao Mu said this, a certain mans expression instantly darkened. Qiao Mu was secretly pleased with herself. She couldnt let him have his way with words and always let her suffer. He was so agitated! However, Qiao Mu had forgotten that a mans dignity could not be harmed, especially Young Master Lis dignity. It was even more intolerable to provoke him. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up sinisterly. His dark eyes nced at the arrogant little woman. His cold voice sounded word by word, Its alright. Youve grown up. You know how to tell the truth now. It turns out that you were just pretending when you said you couldnt do it anymore. Now I know that youre not satisfied at all even though you said you couldnt do it! The smile on Qiao Mus face instantly froze. He was not angered as he had expected! She felt like she was digging a hole for herself When we get back tonight, Ill double my performance until youre truly satisfied, the man continued. If you tell me to stop, Ill take it as an encouragement to continue working hard. Bastard! Qiao Mu practically spat out these two words through gritted teeth. F * ck! She regretted saying something she shouldnt have. Li Yan smiled. Mmm, tonight, Ill let you truly see how much of a jerk your man is. Qiao Mu was speechless. He was simply shameless! Could she choose not to go home with him at night? Qiao Mu was extremely indigestion after lunch. She tried all sorts of ways to please a certain man and kept adding more food for Li Yan. Uncle, eat more. This is delicious. Try it. You should eat more to nourish your body. Otherwise, you wont even be able to satisfy your own woman. Qiao Mu almost bit off her tongue. She shrugged. Uncle, I was wrong. Dont be angry with me. Why would I be angry with you? If you want to me someone, me myself for not performing well.. Chapter 507 - 507: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime (2) Chapter 507 - 507: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime (2) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan! Qiao Mu red at him. Im just joking. Why are you so petty? Im just acting cute with you! Oh? She acted coquettishly and identally told the truth. Qiao Mu was deted and moved closer to Li Yan. Big Brother, dont be angry. Im talking about serious matters. Ive already passed the preliminary round. Arent you happy for me?
The way he called her big brother was getting smoother and smoother. Every time she tried to please him, she would call him big brother without hesitation. She knew that he would not be able to do anything if she acted coquettishly. As for thepetition, it was within his expectations. His little woman had a great passion for fashion design. He saw it all. That kind of love came from the bottom of his heart. She could sketch a beautiful sketch with a casual draw. Every time she drew the design sketch, her serious look shone. Although he was happy for her, he snorted coldly on the surface. Fashion design is as important as me in your heart. If you cant even pass the first round of thepetition, youre asking for a beating. Qiao Mu grinned. She could tell that he was no longer angry. She thought of what her father had told her thest time she went back to the Qiao familys house. She looked up at him with her big eyes and asked, Uncle, why dont youe home with me for dinner tonight? Li Yan narrowed his eyes. The home she was referring to was the Qiao family. This was the first time the little woman had suggested bringing him home. Qiao Mu looked at his confused gaze and pursed her lips when she saw that he didnt say anything. If you dont want to, then forget it. It was my father who said that he wanted me to bring you home for dinner. So, this isnt what you meant? You dont want to take me home? No! Im just worried that you dont want to. Im afraid that youll be put in a difficult position. Li Yan stood up and patted Qiao Mus head. Lets go. Where to? Since Im going to see father-inw, of course I have to prepare some greeting gifts. What if father-inw isnt satisfied and chases me out? Qiao Mu smiled when she heard this. So Young Master Li still has something to worry about. Li Yan curled his lips and did not say anything. Actually, this little thing did not know that everything rted to her was an unknown factor to him. In this world, he hadplete confidence in everything, but he was afraid that he would make a mistake if he was not careful. He had already missed it ten years ago. He could not afford to make another mistaKe. Although Qiao Mu kept saying that she did not need a greeting gift and that her father would not mind, Li Yan still did not listen to her. Qiao Jiannan didnt smoke or drink. There were quite a lot of supplements at home, so he didntck anything. However, Li Yan still put in a lot of effort. Li Yan had specially investigated Qiao Jiannans preferences and found out that he liked tea. When he returned home, he brought Li Zhengs precious ancient tea as a gift. Qiao Mu was a little worried that Li Zheng would fly into a rage if he found out. Qiao Mus heart warmed when she saw Li Yans meticulous preparations. This man had never put anyone in his eyes. He was always so high and mighty that only others looked up to him. However, he was trying so hard to please her father for her. Qiao Jiannan wasnt her biological father, but he was willing to lower himself like this. Qiao Mu looked at the mans tall figure and went forward to hug his waist. Uncle, thank you for giving me face. Silly girl, Im not giving you face. I should thank him for taking care of you for so many years. Qiao Mus nose turned sour, and she couldnt help but want to cry.. Chapter 508 - 508: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime 3 Chapter 508 - 508: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime 3 Trantor: 549690339 In the evening, when she arrived at the Qiao familys house, Qiao Jiannan was already waiting for her. After entering, Qiao Muughed and shouted loudly, Daddy, were back. Qiao Jiannan walked over and said helplessly, This child. Im not deaf yet. Youre shouting so loudly when you get home. Qiao Mu chuckled and moved aside. Li Yan handed the gift box to the servant beside him and looked at Qiao Jiannan. Uncle, I heard that you like tea. I prepared this for you. I came in a hurry, so please dont mind the gift.
As Li Yan spoke, his tall body bent down slightly. His expression showed respect for his elders, unlike his usual high and mighty self. Qiao Jiannan noticed that he had interacted with Li Yan before. Although he used to be Li Yans cousin-inw, Li Yan never treated him as a rtive in front of him. Even in the past, he had to call the other party Young Master Li. Before this, Qiao Jiannan did not expect Li Yan to treat him with such an attitude. It was different from the previous times. In front of him, Li Yan waspletely a junior. Qiao Jiannan nced at the gift Li Yan had brought. He was someone who knew tea, so he could tell at a nce that this ancient tea was expensive and had already gone extinct on the market. Even though he had drunk so many good teas, he had never tasted this ancient tea before. I asked Mumu to bring you home for a meal. What else do you need to bring? Qiao Jiannan said with a smile. Qiao Mu stepped forward and held Qiao Jiannans arm. Dad, he came to our house empty-handed. How could he have the cheek to eat our food? You, this child. Qiao Jiannan felt helpless. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with a smile. Qiao Jiannan sat down on the sofa and looked at Qiao Mu. Mumu, go to the kitchen and take a look. What do you want to eat for dinner? Get the kitchen to prepare it. Ill talk to Young Master Li for a while. Qiao Mu knew that Qiao Jiannan had something to say to Li Yan and did not want her to be present. She nodded and left. After all, the rtionship between Qiao Jiannan and Li Yan was a littleplicated, and Yu Tingyun was sandwiched in between. After Qiao Mu left, Li Yan spoke first, Uncle, Im a junior. You can just call me by my name. Qiao Jiannan nodded. I never thought that we would meet face to face like this. Uncle, Im very sorry about Yu Tingyun. I did do something to the Yu Corporation. This is a grudge between the Li family and her. I hope you wont implicate my rtionship with Mumu because of this. Qiao Jiannan sighed. I know. I was kept in the dark in the past. How can I not understand now? For someone like her, she deserved her fate. She cant me anyone else. He paused and looked at Li Yan before continuing, To be honest, I told Mumu to bring you home for dinner. I wasnt sure if you would reallye, so I thought . Do you think Im not serious? Li Yan opened his mouth to catch Qiao Jiannans words. Since Li Yan could tell what he was thinking, Qiao Jiannan did not hide it anymore. His expression became serious. Li Yan, I dont know what youre thinking. Although Mumu isnt my biological daughter, I wont let her be bullied. Shes still so young and inexperienced. If youre serious, give me a guarantee. Qiao Jiannan knew that Li Yan would not casually make promises. Since he could say it, it must be true. From the moment he entered the room until now, he could feel the atmosphere between Li Yan and Qiao Mu. They were like a couple, but a man like Li Yan still made him very uneasy.. Chapter 509 - 509: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime 4 Chapter 509 - 509: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime 4 Trantor: 549690339 Li Yan couldpletely understand Qiao Jiannans feelings as a father. Qiao Jiannans behavior showed that he truly cared about Qiao Mu and treated her as his own daughter. Li Yan looked at the slender figure in the kitchen. She was cutting fruits and arranging them on a te. She was very serious as she ced the fruits on the te piece by piece. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he met Qiao Jiannans gaze. Uncle, although Im not good at making promises, I can tell you clearly that if I get married in the future, I can only choose one wife, and shes Qiao Mu. As long as shes willing, I can marry her anytime. Qiao Jiannan was stunned. He had only said those words to Li Yan in exchange for him saying that he was serious about Qiao Mu. However, she did not expect Li Yan to make such a promise.
When young people got together, even if they really liked each other at the time, who could have imagined that they would not be together in the future? However, Li Yan was able to give an answer with absolute certainty. His tone and expression were not casual. One could tell how firm his attitude was. It was as if everything had to happen. When Qiao Jiannan saw that the man who was always cold and arrogant in the business world was looking at Qiao Mu with such a gentle gaze, as if he was looking at a rare treasure, the worry in Qiao Jiannans heart waspletely dispelled. Qiao Jiannan slowly said, Then Im relieved. Actually, I know that the Li Group has a lot to do with the stable development of the Qiao Corporation since I was hospitalized. To outsiders, the Li Group is the one who has their eyes on the Qiao Corporation. But I know that youve been helping the Qiao Corporation. As for thepany, my body is a little weak now. Mu Mu has no intention of managing thepany. As for my other daughter, she doesnt have the ability. Li Yan, if possible, I hope that the Qiao Corporation can rely on the Li Corporation. Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. You mean you want the Li Corporation to acquire the Qiao Corporation? I hope that the Qiao Corporation will be a subsidiary of the Li Corporation. All development will be managed by the Li Corporation, but we must maintain the title of the Qiao Corporation. If it werent for the help of the Li family, the Qiao family would have copsed long ago. If this continued, thepany would inevitably go bankrupt. The only way was to rely on the Li family. Alright. Li Yan immediately agreed. Qiao Jiannan was stunned. This matter was not beneficial to the Li family, but Li Yan did not even consider it. He originally wanted to voice out his doubts, but when he saw Qiao Mu walking over, he understood everything. This man had made all the concessions because of Qiao Mu. Daddy, Uncle, have some fruit. I cut it myself. Qiao Mu walked over with a te of fruits. Qiao Jiannan was stunned when he heard the term uncle. Why are you still calling me uncle? Qiao Mu was used to this form of address and blurted it out in a moment, forgetting that she should pay attention to how she addressed Qiao Jiannan. Li Yan smiled faintly and helped her out. Its alright. Mu Mu likes this way of addressing me. Let her call me that. Even though Li Yans reply was serious, Qiao Mu could not help but think a little off. At this moment, she actually recalled that he had always said that she liked cosy. Thinking of this, she couldnt help but blush. She quickly picked up the fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. She identally stuck it in her throat and coughed. Li Yan patted her back helplessly. No one is snatching it from you. Eat slowly. Coughlm just afraid that youll snatch it from me. Qiao Mu mumbled with a red face. Qiao Jiannanughed loudly. You guys chat first. Ill go upstairs to take my medicine. Ille down for dinnerter. Once Qiao Jiannan left, Qiao Mu stared at Li Yan.. Uncle, what did my father say to you? Chapter 510 - 510: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime 5 Chapter 510 - 510: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime 5 Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans lips curled up. What benefits do I get from telling you? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Hmph, I dont want to know! Although she said she didnt want to know, she was very curious. However, looking at the two of them, they seemed to be chatting happily. After dinner, Li Yan and Qiao Jiannan drank some wine. Although Qiao Jiannan was not in good health, the doctor allowed him to drink some medicinal wine to regte his body. Li Yan then drank a little with him.
Qiao Mu was initially worried that Li Yan was a very dull person and would be in a deadlock during the meal. She did not expect that the two men would have a very harmonious meal while drinking. After the meal, Li Yan directly drove Qiao Mu home under the pretext of sending her back to the school dormitory. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan and asked with concern, Uncle, are you drunk? Although he did not drink much, the medicinal wine was very strong and had a high alcohol content. He was not used to drinking that kind of wine and only drank it to match her father. A little dizzy. As Li Yan spoke, he fell onto Qiao Mus body. Qiao Mus body could not hold on any longer, and she was pinned against the wall. Qiao Mu quickly helped him to sit on the sofa. She looked at his slightly flushed face and frowned. If you cant drink it, then dont drink it. No ones forcing you! Li Yanzily leaned against Qiao Mus body, his arm smoothly wrapping around her slender waist and pressing his face against her neck. His voice was low and deep as he said, I cant even drink with father-inw. It makes me look insincere. The man narrowed his eyes, and his entire body was emitting drunkenness. His face was pressed against her skin, and the hot air from his mouth blew onto her face, instantly making her face hot. There was a faint smell of alcohol in his mouth. It was said that the smell of alcohol when drunk was very unpleasant, but at this moment, the smell on this mans body still made her like it so much that she could not reject it at all. Qiao Mu finally understood that when one liked someone, no matter how terrible the other party became, one would blindly like them. Seeing his groggy appearance, Qiao Mu took the opportunity to ask, Uncle, what did my father talk to you about today? Li Yan raised his eyes and saidzily, He asked me to take good care of you and entrusted you to me. Then what did you say? What can I say? He said that you were very insensible, liked to cause trouble, had a stubborn personality, and had a childs temper. He said that you were so terrible that no man would like you. He asked me to be more tolerant. Since I wanted you, I had to be responsible until the end. Seeing that he was so sincere, I reluctantly agreed. Qiao Mu was speechless. When she heard the first sentence, she was a little touched, but the more she listened, the more ridiculous she felt! She pushed him away. Im ignoring you! He must be pretending to be drunk with her! Qiao Mu stood up and was about to go upstairs when her wrist was suddenly grabbed. A strong force pulled her, and she fell onto Li Yans body. Be good, Im really dizzy. Dont go. Li Yan wrapped Qiao Mu in his arms, raised his head, and kissed her on the lips. Qiao Mu only felt a faint scent of alcohol spread from her lips, bringing with it a scorching temperature that almost melted her, as if she was drunk as well. After a while, Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest and panted. Li Yan did not seem to be faking it, so she stood up helplessly and carried him upstairs. She put Li Yan on the bed with all her might. Qiao Mu was about to leave, but Li Yan held her wrist tightly. Ill make you a cup of honey water, she said in a low voice. Li Yan narrowed his eyes at her. The corners of his mouth curled up as he released his grip.. Chapter 511 - 511: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime 6 Chapter 511 - 511: As Long as She Wills, I Will Marry Her Anytime 6 Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu went downstairs to brew a cup of honey water. When she returned to her room, she saw the man on the bed. His eyes were closed and he was lyingzily on the bed, as if he was asleep. Uncle? Qiao Mu called out softly, but the man did not respond. Qiao Mu ced the honey water at the head of the bed and sat down by the bed. Her fingers gently touched the mans cheek. After his eyes were closed, all the emotions in them were isted. Who could tell that such an ice-cold man was actually a beast at heart? Shameless without any lower limit! Qiao Mu couldnt help but curl the corners of her lips. She bent down and kissed him on the lips, saying very softly, Good night, Uncle.
As soon as she finished speaking, an arm appeared at her waist and wrapped around her. Qiao Mu was stunned. Then, her vision blurred, and she was flipped onto the bed. A lowugh sounded above her head. Little thing, you still like to secretly take advantage of me. Qiao Mu was stunned when she met the mans gaze. His pitch-ck eyes were deep and bright, and there was no hint of drunkenness in them. Even his body movements became more agile. The drowsiness and powerlessness from before hadpletely disappeared! Qiao Mu felt like she was being teased and red at him angrily. Youre not drunk at all! From the moment he entered the door, he had been pretending! Im really drunk. I was woken up by your kiss just now. I suddenly remembered that I had something important to do tonight. If I sleep like this, youll have a problem with me. Qiao Mu instantly felt a sense of crisis and red at him warily. What are you doing? Of course. The corners of his mouth curled up as he leaned over and pressed his face against her ear. His voice was low and seductive. F * Ck You! Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu felt her body instantly burn up when she heard his undisguised words. Could he be any more shameless? Could he be any more hooligan? Could he be any more petty? Didnt she just joke that he didnt perform well that night? Did he have to bear such a grudge? The man smiled devilishly. As he moved, he smiled and said,Be good, Ill create inspiration for you now! Ive already passed the preliminaries, I dont need inspiration anymore! Then lets prepare for the semi-finals. Let me think, what will be the theme of the semi-finals? Do you think its because the ball of desire is dissatisfied? Lust Beg No, no, no. Full! Dissatisfied your sister! This word was clearly referring to him! Without waiting for Qiao Mus response, Li Yan came to a conclusion. Then lets look for inspiration. And then There was nothing else. That night, it was just as a certain man had said. No matter how much she screamed and begged for mercy, in the end, a certain beast did not let her off. It seemed that he would not let her off until she was convinced and satisfied! Qiao Mu had sacrificed too much for thispetition. After that, Qiao Mu recuperated for a few days and finally recovered her vital essence to wee the semi-finals. Key held a press conference for thepetition. From the start of the semi-finals, all thepetition processes were open to the media. In the first round of the preliminaries, more than half of the contestants were eliminated, leaving only fifty contestants. Qiao Mu was somewhat overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. She actually stayed behind among so many people. The semi-finals were not as casual as the preliminaries. It was not as simple as just drawing a sketch. One had to make the sketch into a costume with real knives and guns and wear it on the model to disy. It could be said to be a small-scale individual show. For Qiao Mu, this was her first experience. [The update will only bepleted after 12 0clock. Try to update earlier tomorrow..] Chapter 512 - 512: Enemies Meet, Eyes Rage (1) Chapter 512 - 512: Enemies Meet, Eyes Rage (1) Trantor: 549690339 In order to let Qiao Mu wee thepetition with the best attitude and ease her nervousness, Li Yan treated Qiao Mu to a grand banquet the night before thepetition. Qiao Mu only had two good friends, so she only invited Chi Xia and Baby Guan. Li Yan went to fetch Qiao Mu from school while Chi Xia and Baby Guan sat in the car together.
Inside the car, Li Yan was driving, Qiao Mu was sitting in the front passenger seat, while Chi Xia and Baby Guan sat in the back. Previously, Chi Xia had med Qiao Mu for being stingy and not treating after passing the preliminary round. However, she was a little overwhelmed by Young Master Lis sudden invitation. Although Chi Xia knew that everything Li Yan did was for Qiao Mu, she still said politely, Young Master Li, thank you for treating us to a meal. Mm. Li Yan replied indifferently. His attitude was as cold as usual. Li Yans response was already very nice to Chi Xia. Perhaps he would not even bother to respond with an hmm to others. However, in Qiao Mus eyes, Li Yan was too cold. She pouted. She was embarrassed to be so cold to her friend. Li Yan saw Qiao Mus little actions. After a while, he nced at Chi Xia through the rearview mirror. I also want to thank you for taking care of Mumu. Chi Xia was stunned. Young Master Li thanking her was really hard for her to digest. Chi Xia was very gratified. From this, it could be seen how much this man cared about Qiao Mu. What about me, Young Master Li? Baby Guan asked. I also take good care of Mumu. Although I transferred here not long ago, in the dormitory, I treat Mumu like a younger sister. Qiao Mu was speechless. Can you not lie so confidently? Baby Guan was a pampered youngdy. Ever since she moved into the dormitory, she did not clean up the ce, did not tidy up the bed, and had snacks piled all over it. Every time there was a big check in the dormitory, Chi Xia would hurriedly help her tidy up. She still had the cheek to call herself a big sister. Of course, Li Yan did not know the truth. He only nodded and said, Thank you for your care. Qiao Mu watched as the man beside her nonchntly thanked her, and the corners of her lips faintly curled up. Her heart felt a tinge of sweetness. Even she rarely saw Young Master Li thank her, so when had he ever thanked anyone? Baby Guan smiled, Young Master Li, theres no need to thank me. I want to ask you for a small favor. Hmm? Arent you Lu Jingzhis older brother? Can you control him and tell him not to pester me? Hes so annoying. He keeps bugging me all day. When they were engaged, that man wanted her to stay as far away from him as possible. After the engagement was canceled, he shamelessly pestered her. He was really shameless! Qiao Mu was speechless. Li Yan was not a mother, so how could he care about such things? As expected.. I never interfere in his private affairs, the man said slowly. What he meant was that he would not help. Baby Guan stared at Qiao Mu and blinked her big eyes, hoping that Qiao Mu would put in a good word for her. Qiao Mu shrugged. This is your family matter. Its not appropriate for us outsiders to interfere, right? Baby Guan was speechless. What family matter? She had nothing to do with Lu Jingzhi anymore! Alright, she finally understood that Qiao Mu was a woman who followed her husbands lead. She would obediently nod her head at whatever her man said. She simply had no standing! Chi Xia nodded in agreement. You should solve your own problems. I see that youre having a good time with your husband. Are you sure youre not showing off your love? Baby Guan was speechless. [Cough cough cough You guys shoulde and read the article around 12 oclock every day. Recently, the update time is toote. You can also read it the next day..] Chapter 513 - 513: Enemies Meet, Eyes Rage (2) Chapter 513 - 513: Enemies Meet, Eyes Rage (2) Trantor: 549690339 Abundance of Gold and Jade Hotel. When Li Yan and his group arrived at the reserved private room, they heard a faint conversation in the room. Qiao Mu was a little puzzled. She didnt know that there was someone else here tonight, but she quickly realized that the only people he could invite were probably his brothers. The three men in the private room were sitting around the coffee table, ying poker to pass the time. When he heard the sound, Lu Jingzhi yed his cards andined, Brother, youre alwayste for meals. In just a short while, youve caused me to lose a lot of money.
After saying that, he raised his head to look at the door. His eyes shed when he saw the person standing behind Qiao Mu. Big brother, its fine that you brought sister-inw, but why did you bring two beauties? Ling Xi asked in surprise. Did you see us bachelors envious of you guys showing off your love, so you came to mediate the atmosphere? Thats not right. There are only two beauties. They cant be matched evenly! Qiao Mu was speechless. Matched? Why did he sound like a random cat or dog? Qiao Mu followed Li Yan into the house and smiled at Ling Xi. Young Master Ling, youre thinking too much. You dont have a share. Sister-inw, you cant say that. Maybe the beauty will take a fancy to me? Baby Guan rolled her eyes. Sir, our taste isnt that bad. When Baby Guan said this, she nced at Lu Jingzhi. How unlucky. She was here for a meal and she even bumped into this man. If she had known earlier, she would not havee! Ling Xi only knew that Lu Jingzhi had a fiance, but he had never seen Baby Guan in person. Seeing Baby Guans straightforward personality, he could not help but be interested. Little beauty, are you my sister-inws ssmate? Lets get to know each other Before Ling Xi could finish, Lu Jingzhi stood up and walked over like the wind, dragging the little beauty out of the room. In the room, only Baby Guans low voice was left. Lu Jingzhi, let go! Ling Xi was dumbfounded. He was the one who targeted him first. Wasnt Third Brother too impatient? No! It was clearly not the first time they had met. Fortunately, Ling Xi was smart enough to realize that this little beauty was Lu Jingzhis ex-fiance! Ling Xi sighed. Forget it, he couldnt bully his brothers wife. Since she was his ex-ex-fiance, he could only give up on the idea and shift his target to another beauty. Uh, this beauty seemed to be the woman who vomited all over Second Brother. Although she lost her image when she was drunk, she was unexpectedly so pure and lovely when she was sober. But why did she look so weird? Her face was red and she seemed very nervous? Was he very scary? No, she seemed to be looking at Second Brother who was behind him! Ling Xi suddenly felt very annoyed. It seemed that he was left alone. Chi Xia was originally standing at the back. When the door of the private room opened, she could not see who was in the room. When she heard Lu Jingzhis voice, she had a bad feeling. Li Yan had invited Lu Jingzhi, so there must be a man she did not want to see among them. She subconsciously clenched her fists. When Qiao Mu and Li Yan entered the room, there was nothing in front of her. She raised her head, and her eyes met with those pitch-ck eyes. Her body instantly froze. Ever since that night, she had been hypnotizing herself to forget about this matter. She would never have any interactions with this man in the future and would pretend that nothing had happened. However, she did not expect to see him again so soon! Chi Xia stood stiffly at the door.. She had the urge to turn around and leave, but if she did, it would be obvious that she was abnormal! Chapter 514 - 514 Enemies Meet, Eyes Rage (3) Chapter 514 - 514 Enemies Meet, Eyes Rage (3) Xiaxia? Qiao Mu turned around and saw Chi Xia standing still at the door with an unnatural expression on her face. She thought that Chi Xia had seen Su Chen and felt a little awkward at the thought of puking all over him. She then looked at Su Chen and smiled. Young Master Su, can you forget about your little feud with Xiaxia after this meal? Su Chen nced at Chi Xia coldly and smirked. I can let it go, but I dont know if she can pretend that nothing happened! Qiao Mu was puzzled. It was Xiaxias fault that she vomited all over him. Since he didnt care, why would Xiaxia care? Chi Xia raised her head and said something that only Su Chen could understand. Ive been pretending that nothing happened! Su Chens face darkened. Very good!
The more Qiao Mu listened, the more confused she became. She saw that these two peoples conditions were somewhat abnormal, but she didnt know what was abnormal. Their rtionship was clearly not bad before. If they attended the banquet together, their rtionship should not be so bad, right? Uncle, do you know whats going on with these two people? Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan and asked softly. I dont know. Li Yan acted as if it was none of his business and handed the menu to Qiao Mu. Order first and see what you like to eat. Qiao Mu flipped open the menu. I want to eat curry crab. She then looked at Chi Xia. Xiaxia, what do you want to eat? Im fine with anything. Chi Xia paused and said nonchntly, Dont you think curry is like vomit? Qiao Mu was speechless. Can you not be so disgusting? Why did she mention vomit? Clearly, there were people present who were very taboo about these three words. Chapter 515 - 515: Enemies Meet, Eyes Turn Red (4) Chapter 515 - 515: Enemies Meet, Eyes Turn Red (4) Trantor: 549690339 LuOh . Baby Guan opened her mouth to say something, but this action allowed the mans tongue to take the opportunity to enter her mouth and do whatever he wanted. The mans hot breath blew on her face. Baby Guan felt dizzy. She couldnt resist this kiss. However, he felt very unbnced. Why did he have to do whatever he wanted? She opened her mouth and bit his tongue with great force.
Lu Jingzhi narrowed his eyes and kissed her even more brazenly. He only stopped when Baby Guan was kissed to the point where she could not resist at all. He looked at her blushing face with satisfaction. Baby Guan, do you think this matter will work just because you said you want to break off the engagement? Our marriage is decided by our parents. Its not up to you to do whatever you want! Baby Guan was stunned. Youre the one who refused to acknowledge our wedding date. You said that you would cancel this marriage sooner orter. Lu Jingzhi, are you crazy? Lu Jingzhi frowned. I have the final say in the marriage. Its not up to you! Baby Guan gritted her teeth in anger. F * ck, what do you take me for?! Dont swear! I knew it! Damn it! Who do you want to rely on? I know that youve been plotting against me for a long time. If you perform well, I can fulfill your wish. Baby Guan was speechless. Bastard, Ill find a boyfriend tomorrow and let you be arrogantOh . F * ck! Was this man addicted to kissing her? After ordering the dishes, the cold dishes were served. The two people who went out had not returned yet. Qiao Mu knew that Lu Jingzhi could not do anything to Guan Baby, but she was the one who brought the baby here. If the two of them were to quarrel in the hotel, it would be her fault. However, the door was suddenly pushed open and two people came back. Lu Jingzhi was the first to walk in. He looked calm as he walked leisurely to the dining table and sat down. Behind him, Baby Guans face was slightly red and her lips were unnaturally swollen. It was obvious that the two of them had done something bad when they went out. Lu Jingzhi looked at Baby Guan behind him and patted the empty seat beside him. Come and sit. There were two empty seats in front of the round table. Li Yan and Qiao Mu sat together, Chi Xia sat beside Qiao Mu, and there was an empty seat between Ling Xi and Chi Xia. Su Chen sat next to Li Yan while Lu Jingzhi sat next to Su Chen. There was an empty seat between Lu Jingzhi and Ling Xi. In other words, Ling Xis hands were empty. One of them was connected to Lu Jingzhi while the other was connected to Chi Xia. Baby Guan rolled her eyes at Lu Jingzhi and sat in the empty seat between Chi Xia and Ling Xi. Lu Jingzhis expression was a little ugly. He stood up and walked behind Ling Xi. He patted Ling Xis shoulder and Ling Xi could only reluctantly switch seats with him. Poor him. Everyone was in pairs, and he was the only one left! Fortunately, his second brother didnt seem to get along well with the other little beauty, so his situation wasnt so awkward. Qiao Mu looked at Baby Guan ambiguously and teased, Baby, what happened to your mouth? Its like youre wearing lipstick. Baby Guan took a sip of water nonchntly. I was bitten by a dog. Pfft Ling Xiughed. Little beauty, youre right. Lu Xiaosan is born in the year of the dog. Her words made Baby Guans expression be unnatural. She said angrily, 1 was bitten by a dog. What does it have to do with him? Lu Jingzhi frowned. Baby Guan, youve turned a deaf ear to my words. Dont swear! I told you, its none of your business! Shall we go out and talk? As soon as he said this, Baby Guan felt a burning pain on her lips and immediately quieted down.. Chapter 516 - 516: There Is A Kind Of Infatuation Called Li Yan Chapter 516 - 516: There Is A Kind Of Infatuation Called Li Yan Trantor: 549690339 The dishes were all served. Looking at the dishes on the table, Ling Xi said, Who ordered the stir-fried mushrooms? Big Brother doesnt eat mushrooms. Hurry up and leave. Li Yan had always had a lot of problems. If he did not like to eat, he would not allow others to eat. Therefore, if he did not eat, he would not be able to serve the food. This had always been their habit. However, after Ling Xi finished speaking, he felt Li Yans cold gaze sweeping over. He immediately reflected on himself. But he didnt say anything wrong! Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan in astonishment. Uncle, you dont eat mushrooms? Why didnt you say so earlier?
He had eaten with him many times, but he had never said that he didnt like it. Li Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her. The corners of his lips curled up. That was in the past. Ling Xis mouth twitched. Did he change his taste just like that? At this moment, Ling Xi realized where he had gone wrong. It turned out that his brothers nephew had always thought that he liked to eat mushrooms. His brother really loved the house and its crow to the extreme, changing his eating habits just like that. Although Li Yan said so, Qiao Mu already understood. He had never liked to eat it, and he epted it because she liked it. In that instant, Qiao Mu felt a warmth in her heart, and she was indescribably touched. Why was this man so good to her? Qiao Mu called the waiter over and said to him, Take the stir-fried mushrooms away. Li Yan was helpless. He raised his hand and caressed Qiao Mus head. You like it, so you dont have to change your taste for me. You can change for me, so why cant I change for you? Qiao Mu waved at the waiter, indicating for him to take the dishes away. Actually, she did not particrly like stir-fried mushrooms. It was just that she had eaten with Li Yan a few times and he would eat it every time. She thought that he liked it, so when she ordered, she subconsciously ordered stir-fried mushrooms. Thinking about it carefully, she did not know what he liked to eat. This man had always catered to her. She had always epted his kindness and wanted to respond to everything he had. Baby Guan said while eating the crab, Theres a kind of infatuation called Li Yan, and theres a kind of luck called Qiao Mu. As expected, all good men belong to others. Im so envious. Lu Jingzhis face darkened. Baby Guan raised her hand and pointed at the other three men. Now I know why hes the big brother and you guys are the little brothers. You guys should learn from your big brother. Look at how much he dotes on women. Look at you guys. No wonder the three of you are single! Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Su Chen was speechless. Ling Xi was speechless. What did Li Yan and Qiao Mus disy of affection have to do with the three of them? Chi Xia was eating quietly. When she heard Baby Guans words, she could not help butugh out loud and nodded heavily. Baby, youre absolutely right! Chi Xias eyes met with a cold gaze. She lowered her head and continued eating. Ling Xi recalled the reason why Li Yan was treating her today and looked at Qiao Mu. Sister-inw, I heard that you participated in the fashion designpetition. I wish you the best! Qiao Mu smiled faintly. I dont dare to think about bing the champion. Ill just take it one step at a time. Its easy to win the championship. Once big brother appears, the championship will definitely be yours. Qiao Mu blinked and looked at Ling Xi seriously. Young Master Ling, do you know why youre still single? Why? Ling Xi subconsciously picked up the topic. Because youre too tacky and dont understand a womans mind. I would rather not be able to enter the semi-finals with my own strength than rely on Li Yans power to win the championship. My uncle is not as vulgar as you. He respects me very much.. Chapter 517 - 517: Shu Xinyu Is Actually a Stepmother! Chapter 517 - 517: Shu Xinyu Is Actually a Stepmother! Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was actually very grateful to Li Yan for this matter. Although this man had boundless power, he did not use his power to help her after she participated in thepetition. He had been silently watching her from the side, watching her improve little by little. This man had always been changing for her. He was not like this in the past. He was overbearing and unreasonable. He could do whatever he wanted, and she could only listen to him. But now, he knew how to respect her thoughts and cared about her more and more. Ling Xi coughed and didnt argue with the woman. Fine, you look down on us single people.
Li Yans lips curled up. He was very satisfied with this little womans performance today. Su Chen said lightly, That may be the case, but you think too simply of thispetition. If you dont use the back door, there will naturally be others who will. With just your strength, you might be eliminated by those who abuse their power. Su Chens words were not without reason, and it reminded Qiao Mu of Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtongs backer was very strong. Shu Xinyu was the investor of thepetition, so it should be very easy for Ning Tongtong to stabilize her footing in thepetition. However, Shu Xinyu didnt show off her authority in front of Key previously. It seemed like Key didnt fall for her tricks. Qiao Mus tone was firm. I believe that Key will treat thepetition strictly. Key will definitely not treat its ownpetition casually. Li Yan was a little displeased when he saw the little woman mentioning another man with sparkling eyes. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her calmly. You have such a high opinion of this Key. I really want to meet him. Even though the mans tone was so calm that no emotions could be detected, Qiao Mu immediately caught something amiss. Qiao Mu tactfully cupped the man in front of her. Uncle, you dont have to see him. Hes nothingpared to you. Li Yan snorted coldly. Judging from his expression, Qiao Mus ttery was effective. Chi Xias lips twitched- She never expected Oiao Mil to he so ingratiating- She Imew how noble Key was to Qiao Mu. He was Qiao Mus only idol, a male god. There were many times when Qiao Mu hugged a fashion magazine and looked at Key as if she was looking at her first love, praising her idol to the skies. However, in front of Li Yan, it was not even worth mentioning. As expected, the power of love was too great and terrifying. Qiao Mu thought for a moment. But Young Master Su does have a point. One of the contestantspeting with me is the daughter of the sponsor of thepetition. This person isnt very friendly to me because of a certain someone. Last time, the investor almost disqualified me from thepetition because I was a student. Li Yans eyes darkened. Theres such a thing? Why didnt you tell me? In the end, it was resolved smoothly, so I didnt mention it. Li Yans voice turned colder. The investor youre talking about is Shu Xinyu? Thats right. Its all because of you that her daughter is targeting me. Lu Jingzhis attention was originally on Baby Guan, who was eating with her head lowered. When he heard Qiao Mus words, he raised his head. Shu Xinyu, this woman, is quite amazing. She treats her daughter very well. Qiao Mu was puzzled. Whats wrong with a mother treating her daughter well? When Shu Xinyu married into the Ning family, the Ning family already had a son and a daughter. She married over as a stepmother, so thats not her biological daughter. Lu Jingzhis words stunned Qiao Mu. Shu Xinyu was actually Ning Tongtongs stepmother! Chapter 518 - 518: A competent stepmother Chapter 518 - 518: Apetent stepmother Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu never expected Shu Xinyu to be a stepmother. She had seen Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong together a few times, and the two of them were as close as mother and daughter, without the slightest estrangement. From an outsiders perspective, Shu Xinyu really treated Ning Tongtong like her own daughter. Her words and actions could be seen clearly, and she did not pretend. Qiao Mu never knew that a stepmother and stepdaughter could maintain such a good rtionship. Then, she looked at herself. Her rtionship with her stepmother was so bad. Compared to Ning Tongtong, she was really inferior.
However, she couldntpare them like that. After all, Shu Xinyu was willing to be a stepmother, and her rtionship with Yu Tingyun was veryplicated. It was normal for Yu Tingyun to be unable to ept her as an illegitimate daughter. If thats the case, Mu Mu doesnt have anything to worry about. A stepmother wont care too much about her stepdaughter, said Baby Guan. Lu Jingzhi nced at Baby Guan helplessly. Did you listen to me carefully? I just said that Shu Xinyu treats her daughter very well. When her stepdaughter was four or five years old, she married into the Ning family. Her stepdaughters biological mother passed away, so she treated Shu Xinyu like her biological mother and even addressed her as her biological mother. Moreover, Shu Xinyu has speciallyunched a clothing brand for her stepdaughter. One can imagine how much she dotes on this stepdaughter. She is definitely apetent stepmother. There are brands under the Lu Corporation that have worked with Shu Xinyus clothingpany before. Naturally, we have to understand the partners thoroughly. Oh, Baby Guan replied and looked at Qiao Mu. So youll definitely be at a disadvantage in this match! Sometimes, when a stepmother gets better, shes even better than her biological mother. In order to let her stepdaughter get good results in thepetition, shell definitely use her power! Qiao Mu didnt think much of it. Its too early to worry about that. There are so many contestants in thepetition, and we cant hinder each other. Li Yan looked down at her and asked softly, Do you need me to help you solve Qiao Mu shook her head and smiled lightly. No need. If I really cant solve it, Ill ask you for help. She naturally wouldnt not use the ready-made resources that were right beside her. If she could solve it herself, she would try her best to solve it herself. She could not rely on her blindly. However, with him as her backer, she felt even more confident. Li Yan nodded when he saw how confident she was. Although his little woman was sometimes very muddle-headed, when she was serious, there was nothing that she could not solve. He was very confident in her. After all, what could be difficult for a woman who could win him over? After the meal, Qiao Mu wanted to follow Li Yan home while Chi Xia and Baby Guan wanted to go back to school. After leaving the hotel, Chi Xia looked at Baby Guan. Are you leaving with me or with your wife? Who is my family? Are you addicted to joking with me? Of course, well take a taxi together! After Guan Baobei finished speaking, Lu Jingzhi walked over and dragged her to the parking lot without any exnation. Lu Jingzhi, what are you doing? Ill send you off. No need! Its not safe for a girl like you to take a taxi back. Dont make a fuss As Lu Jingzhi spoke, he suddenly felt a kicking from behind him. He quickly dodged the attack and released Baby Guans hand. Baby Guan snorted proudly. You still think Im not safe? Are you looking down on my martial arts? Lu Jingzhi was speechless. He couldnt be bothered to talk nonsense with her, so he forcefully held her up and stuffed her into the car.. Chapter 519 - 519: This Man Is Simply Unreasonable Chapter 519 - 519: This Man Is Simply Unreasonable Trantor: 549690339 It was useless to have a good attitude towards this woman. She was like a little bandit. She had been contaminated by this kind of atmosphere in the Guan family since she was young. If she wanted to deal with her, she could only use violence. Chi Xia watched helplessly as Baby Guan was taken away. Although Lu Jingzhi wanted to send Baby Guan back to school and they were going the same way, she did not have the habit of being a third wheel. She was the only one left now. She was quite safe with her bodyguard, Guan Baobei. Now that she was the only one left, she would not be safe if it was her. How could Qiao Mu let Chi Xia go back to school alone? She looked at Li Yan and asked, Uncle, lets send Xiaxia back first.
Li Yan nced at Su Chen, who was about to get his car, and said, Your ce is on the way. Send her back to school. No need! Before Su Chen could say anything, Chi Xia quickly rejected him. Su Chen stopped in his tracks and furrowed his brows slightly. He looked at Chi Xia coldly and said, I didnt say I was going to give it to you. You dont have to reject me so quickly. Chi Xia pursed her lips and prepared to hail a cab. Qiao Mu stepped forward and pulled her back. You cant walk by yourself. Its too unsafe to take a taxi. Let him send you. Its okay. Its not too far anyway. It was not safe to be with Su Chen. Half an hour isnt far! Seeing Chi Xias stubborn attitude, Qiao Mu was curious. Youre so awkward. Could it be that you have something going on with Su Chen? Theres nothing. Youre thinking too much! Since there isnt, then let him send you back. At this moment, Su Chen had already driven past. Qiao Mu stopped the car, opened the door of the passenger seat, and pushed Chi Xia into the car. After closing the car door, Qiao Mu instructed Su Chen, Young Master Su, please send Xiaxia back to her dormitory safely. Thank you. Chi Xia was speechless. Su Chen looked at Chi Xia coldly and started the car without saying anything. When Qiao Mus figure was no longer visible in the rearview mirror, Chi Xia looked at the man driving expressionlessly. You can stop the car now. Ill go back by myself. Su Chen raised his cold eyes. Do you think Im that casual? Do you think I can do it whenever I want? Chi Xias face turned red at those words. His words were unclear. She was in the car, but his words seemed to imply that she had slept with him! Chi Xia stopped talking and sat beside Su Chen, feeling a little nervous. After all, he had taken the opportunity to do that to her when she was drunkst time! Su Chens face darkened. You dont have to be nervous. I dont have a habit of forcing others. If you hadnt seduced mest time, I wouldnt have done anything to you. Chi Xia was speechless. He spoke as if he was a gentleman! She made her sound like a female hooligan! Seeing that she had lowered her head in silence, Su Chen said, This is the first time Ive seen a woman like you. You took the initiative to seduce someone, but the next day, you look like youre at a disadvantage. Thats because Im drunk! Chi Xia couldnt take it anymore. Who wants to do that with you! Then who do you want to have sex with? Dont twist logic! This man was simply unreasonable! Su Chen looked at her angry face. Although she pretended that nothing had happened that night, as if nothing had happened between them, he knew that this woman really minded having sex with him that night. He didnt even say anything after being toyed with by her after drinking, and she still dared to deny it! Thinking of her attitude after she woke up, a wave of anger pressed down on her heart and lingered. Chi Xia stepped on the brakes and was caught off guard. Her upper body fell forward and arge hand reached out and pressed down on her body. Before she could react, she could only feel the masculine scent.. Chapter 520 - 520: Remember Your Decision Today Chapter 520 - 520: Remember Your Decision Today Trantor: 549690339 In the next moment, her lips felt warm. She was kissed! Chi Xias eyes widened in shock. Thest time she had sex with him, she was drunk and her consciousness was blurry, so she had no idea what she was doing. This kiss at this moment made her panic and stunned. When the kiss deepened, Chi Xia suddenly reacted. She pushed Su Chen away and wiped her lips. Go away! Su Chen, what are you doing? Su Chen narrowed his cold eyes and pinched her chin. Why? Do you dislike it? You forgot how proactive you were that night!
Chi Xia took a deep breath. What happened that night was a mistake. What do you want? Didnt you say that you dont like to force others? Then what are you doing now?! You also know that it was a mistake? You treat me as someone else to y with, and you still have the cheek to shout at me here! You Chi Xia was so angry that she did not know what to say. She opened her mouth and gritted her teeth. Im sorry. Can I apologize? She really didnt want to be entangled with this man. If she could get rid of him, she would even apologize! No! Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Seeing the disgust in her eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her again. Oh Chi Xia widened her eyes and tried to push him away, but she couldnt. The kiss was so aggressive that Chi Xia was frightened. After a while, Su Chen left her lips and looked at the blushing woman in front of him. He asked coldly, IIS it annoying? Chi Xia was a little breathless from the kiss and could only re at him fiercely. He was asking the obvious! Let me ask you, do you hate me kissing you? The man seemed to want confirmation as he pressed on. Yes Just as Chi Xia opened her mouth, she saw the mans face approaching her again. She was shocked and immediately shouted, No, I dont hate you! Since you dont hate me, then be my woman. Chi Xia widened her eyes in shock. What did you say? Not willing? Let me tell you, I wont allow the woman I slept with to have someone else in her heart! Su Chen said coldly. Chi Xia was stunned. Was this man crazy? Then, the mans cold voice sounded again. Chi Xia, stay with me. I can make you forget about your ex-boyfriend. Su Chens words made Chi Xias mood sink. What right did he have to be so self-righteous! Why did she always bring up her sad matters? She didnt want to think of Gu Cheng at all, but he kept exposing her scars. Thinking of Gu Chengs pestering, even if she knew that he had a fiance, he still kept saying that he loved her and refused to solve the problem or let go of her. Her heart ached faintly. Why were all men like this? The once considerate Gu Cheng had be so selfish, while the man in front of her, who she had identally provoked, was so arrogant! In that instant, Chi Xia felt a sense of revenge. Seeing Chi Xia biting her lip and not saying anything, Su Chens face darkened. At this moment, the woman in front of him finally raised her head. Her eyes were filled with determination. She opened her mouth and only said one word, Good! Su Chen raised his eyebrows and stared at her. After a while, he started the car. The mans gaze shifted away. Chi Xias calm demeanor instantly lost its confidence. She felt dizzy. What did she promise?! Before she could heave a sigh of relief, the mans cold voice sounded,Chi Xia, remember your decision today. [The update will be done around 12 0clock. Dont be impatient..] Chapter 521 - 521: One Mistake Is Enough Chapter 521 - 521: One Mistake Is Enough Trantor: 549690339 The mans voice was like a bucket of cold water that was poured over Chi Xias head,pletely extinguishing her little bit of impulse. His tone sounded as if she had made a decision that she could not turn back. Suddenly, she regretted it! At this moment, the car suddenly turned around. He was going straight back to school, so why did he turn around Where are you going?
Youre my woman now. Whats wrong withing back with me? Go back with him Chi Xias face paled. Erm, I was just joking. Im not that casual. I didnt promise you seriously. Su Chen sneered. I think youre just that casual. Although he had given her a choice and she had tactfully agreed, which made him very satisfied, there was a trace of anger in his heart. This woman was really casual. Last time, she had casually slept with him, and this time, she had casually agreed to his suggestion! Hearing Su Chens words, Chi Xias face burned. Su Chen, thats enough! Do you have to humiliate me like this? Im casual, but youre not any better. If youre not casual, why did you have sex with me?! Chi Xias heart ached terribly and her vision blurred. She bit her lip, sniffed, and turned her face away. The moment Chi Xia turned her head, Su Chen caught the tears in her eyes and her expression darkened. Silence returned to the car. A momentter, the car stopped in front of Su Chens apartment. Chi Xia raised her head in shock and quickly jumped off the car. She was about to escape when Su Chen stopped her. Why are you running? Regretting it now? Who was the one who agreed to be my woman so confidently just now? Su Chen dragged Chi Xia into the apartment building. Chi Xia looked at him warily. Why are you bringing me home? Do what needs to be done! As he spoke, Su Chen pulled Chi Xia into the room and threw her onto the bed. His tall body leaned over her. Didnt you say that Im casual? Then Ill show it to you casually! Chi Xia pushed him away with a pale face. Su Chen, dont do anything rash. Youre breaking thew! Breaking thew? You really studyw. Then tell me, did you break thew when you raped mest time? Su Chens lips curled up coldly. Also, have you forgotten that youre my woman now? Su Chen kissed Chi Xias lips like a wild beast gnawing on its prey as he reached into her clothes. Chi Xias body stiffened and she shook her head vigorously. No! Bastard, take your hand away. Dont touch meGo away! She was wrong. She should not have provoked this man! When she agreed to be his woman, she didnt think too much about it. However, when she was sober, she felt an indescribable disgust when she was so intimate with him. She was not a casual woman. She had been with Gu Cheng for so long, but they had only kissed before. It was a very light kiss. There was no further rtionship. She had always been very conservative when it came to rtionships. She wanted to give herself to her lover at the most important moment. However, who would have thought that he would lose his first time so easily after drinking? She tried her best tofort herself and persuade herself to let go. At this moment, the man in front of her was like a beast, making her very afraid. She didnt want it! It was enough to make a mistake once. She could not ept it again! Chi Xias tears rolled down her face as she looked at the man in front of her in despair.. I beg you, dont Chapter 522 - 522: Mumu Misses You Chapter 522 - 522: Mumu Misses You Trantor: 549690339 Please, dont Su Chens body stiffened. He raised his head and met the pair of tear-filled eyes. The woman in front of him looked at him in horror. The rejection in her eyes was obvious. At this moment, Su Chen felt as if his heart was blocked by something. He was suffocating. Damn it, he was just thinking about how she treated him so casually and wanted to scare her.
The moment his body touched her, he inexplicably lost control. Thinking of her performance that night, she was so inexperienced that his body could not help but swell. Su Chen took a deep breath and got down from her body. He looked down at her and said, Chi Xia, youre not ready yet. I can give you time, but remember, dont go back on your word! Chi Xias body curled into a ball warily. She only rxed her guard when the man sitting by the bed got up and left the room. Her tensed body rxed, and she became dizzy. She fell asleep unknowingly. After Chi Xia and Su Chen left, Qiao Mu followed Li Yan into the car. Thinking about the uingpetition, Ning Tongtong and Shu Xinyu, his mood immediately became low. At the dining table, she did not show it because she did not want others to see her emotions. However, now that she had calmed down, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She realized that she was really a failure. All these years, whether it was her rtionship with Yu Tingyun or Zhou Jieru, she had not developed any feelings for her. Even her biological mother did not want her when she was born. Was she destined to be indifferent to family and unable to get a mothers love in this life? Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh. Li Yan looked at the silent woman. Ever since they got into the car, she had been in a bad mood. He held her hand and asked softly,What are you thinking about? Uncle, am I born unlikeable? Whether its my stepmother or my biological mother, do they not like me? Li Yan frowned. Nonsense. They dont like you, but I do. But youre not my mother. Tell me, is there anything wrong with me? Why is it that Ning Tongtongs rtionship with them is so bad, but Ning Tongtong gets along very well with her stepmother? Qiao Mu couldnt help but feel depressed when she thought of this. Li Yan rubbed Qiao Mus head. Its not your fault. Its their fault that they dont like you. Qiao Mus nose turned sour when she heard the mansforting words. It was their fault that they didnt like her! Only this man could say such unreasonable words. Li Yan saw that the little woman was in low spirits. He took out his phone and sent a message to Yu Yiduo.Mom,e home tonight. Soon, Yu Yiduo replied,Son, are you out of your mind? In the past, you couldnt wait for me to not go back and disturb the two of you. Why are you suddenly begging me to go back? Mumu misses you. Yu Yiduo looked at the message and was stunned for a long time. Although she didnt know what was going on, she immediately jumped up from the sofa and hurriedly picked up her coat to leave. Li Zheng scolded, Where are you going in the middle of the night? My daughter misses me. I want to see my daughter. Li Zheng was speechless. If he hadnt reacted quickly enough, he would have thought that she had an illegitimate daughter outside. On the way home, Qiao Mu was still in a bad mood.. When she reached home and entered the door, she heard a friendly voice call out, Mu Mu, youre back! Chapter 523 - 523: Too Bad to Be the Li Family’s Daughter-inlaw Chapter 523 - 523: Too Bad to Be the Li Familys Daughter-iw Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu looked over when she heard the voice and saw a figure rushing in front of her. Before she could react, she was already hugged. Auntie. Qiao Mu called out in a daze,pletely confused. She looked at Li Yan in confusion. What was this great aunt up to?! Yu Yiduo patted Qiao Mus back. I heard that Mumu missed Mommy, so Mommy came back to visit you. Youre indeed Mommys good daughter, much better than that heartless son!
After hearing Yu Yiduos words, Qiao Mu immediately understood what was going on. It was Li Yan who asked Yu Yiduo to go home. She was feeling down in the car, so he wanted Yu Yiduo toe home tofort her. Qiao Mus heart wavered. She looked at the nonchnt Li Yan, and her nose felt a little sour. Although this man didnt know how to say sweet words, most of the words he said would make her mad and angry, making her suffer and not know how to fight back. asionally, he would say something flirtatious, but it would always be colored, making her embarrassed and angry. To him, the best way tofort her was not to use words to enlighten her, but to take action to resolve her unhappiness. He wanted his mother toe home to tell her that her thoughts were wrong. Thats right. How could she forget that she had such a good mother by her side? Her heart ached for her, she loved her, and she treated her like her own daughter. Yu Yiduo hugged Qiao Mu for quite a while before releasing her hand and pinching Qiao Mus cheeks. Aiya, why is your little face so listless? You look like youre about to cry. Did Li Yan bully you? Tell me honestly. Although I cant beat him, I can let your father beat him! Qiao Mu was speechless. Li Yan walked over to the sofa and sat down. Mom, my dad is already so old. He was already no match for me a few years ago. At this moment, Li Zheng came down from upstairs and said with a heavy tone, You really know how to talk big. Come here, Illpete with you now. Lets see if you still dare to look down on your father. Li Yan looked uninterested. Im worried that if I identally hurt you, my mother will have to take care of you. Li Zheng was speechless. Qiao Mus lips twitched. Uncle, hes your biological father after all. Cant you give your father some face in front of your mother? Yu Yiduo said angrily, Alright, what are you two arguing about? If you want to argue, go outside. Cant you see that my daughter is in a bad mood? Dont affect Mumus mood. Auntie, Im fine. Qiao Mu said softly, her heart feeling warm. Actually, she liked to see Li Yan bicker with his father. Her uncle had never been at a disadvantage. Even in front of her father, he would not show mercy. The scene of a man who had always been calm outside getting angry with his father at home was quite funny. Although the father and son quarreled from time to time, this scene was very heartwarming. Yu Yiduo led Qiao Mu to the sofa. Mumu, sit down and tell Mommy why youre unhappy. Im fine now, Auntie. Im just a little nervous because I have apetition tomorrow. Its already sote, and you still came back for me. Ill feel bad. Before Yu Yiduo could say anything, Li Zheng snorted coldly, If you feel bad, then you should do well in thepetition. If youre too bad, you wont be the daughter-inw of the Li family. Li Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. Thats right. She has to be as outstanding as my mother. He emphasized thest two words.. Chapter 524 - 524: Be MV Love Sister Chapter 524 - 524: Be MV Love Sister Trantor: 549690339 Li Zheng was displeased. What do you mean? Are you saying that your mother isnt outstanding? You said it. You Yu Yiduo stopped him. Are you two done? Although Im very outstanding, is it really okay for you to say it in front of your daughter-inw and give her pressure? Li Yan was speechless.
Li Zheng was speechless. Mumu is preparing for thepetition tomorrow. Dont give her any pressure. The two of you should hurry back to your room. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mumu. Yu Yiduo sent the two men away with one sentence. Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo were the only ones left in the living room. Yu Yiduo held Qiao Mus hand and patted it. Mu Mu, dont feel pressured in thepetition. After all, youre still young. You just have to do your best to perform to the best of your abilities. Yes, thank you, Auntie. Also, I know that the fashion designpetition is veryplicated. You need to design clothes and models. If you need anything, juste to me. After all, Im the chairman of Yu Corporation now. Qiao Mu felt grateful. I will, Auntie. Dont worry, Im fine now. Thats good. Mumu, remember, you have me as your mother now. No one can bully you. If theres anything, just tell me, understand? Qiao Mus mood was already rather low, and with Yu Yiduos constantforting and considerate words, her mood instantly churned. She felt a lump in her throat and threw herself into Yu Yiduos arms. She said in a choked voice, Thank you, Mom. Yu Yiduo was stunned. She had always been the one who called herself Qiao Mus mother, and Qiao Mu had always politely addressed her as auntie. Now that Qiao Mu had suddenly addressed her as mommy, Yu Yiduos heart instantly bloomed with joy. He hugged Qiao Mu with both hands and patted Qiao Mus back repeatedly as if he was coaxing a baby. Good girl, my good daughter. Qiao Mu couldnt control her emotions in Yu Yiduos embrace and started crying. Yu Yiduo was infected by Qiao Mus emotions, and her eyes reddened as well. After a while, Li Yan went downstairs and saw two women hugging each other on the sofa. The scene was very touching. He furrowed his brows. He had originally asked his mother toe back tofort Qiao Mu, but why was she crying along with him? Li Yan stepped forward and separated the two of them. He pulled Qiao Mu into his arms domineeringly and looked down at Yu Yiduo. Mom, you should go back to your room to sleep. I still want to develop a rtionship with my daughter. Yu Yiduo was reluctant to part with him, and Li Zheng went downstairs to take her back to her room. Yu Yiduo excitedly boasted to Li Zheng, Mumu called me Mommy just now. Im so happy. Its so great to have a daughter! Facing the excited woman, Li Zheng frowned. She calls you mom and Qiao Jiannan dad. You guys are a family, but Im an outsider? Yu Yiduo was speechless. On the other side, Qiao Mu followed Li Yan back to her room. She calmed down and felt a little awkward. She had cried in Yu Yiduos arms without any regard for her image, and it was so emDarrass1ng to De seen DY mm. Li Yan looked at her reddened eyes and felt a little helpless. Are you feeling better now? Qiao Mu nodded and took a step forward to hug his waist. Thank you, Uncle. Thank me for what? He asked even though he knew the answer. Qiao Mu thought about it and grinned. Thank you for having such a good mother. I even have the urge to be your younger sister. Yes, thats not impossible. Li Yans lips curled up. Ill let you be my love sister. Qiao Mu was speechless.. Chapter 525 - 525: Ning Tongtong Secretly Provoked Him (1) Chapter 525 - 525: Ning Tongtong Secretly Provoked Him (1) Trantor: 549690339 The next day, Qiao Mu gathered at the venue for the semi-finals. It was indeed true that enemies would meet on a narrow road. As soon as she entered the door, she bumped into Ning Tongtong. When Ning Tongtong saw Qiao Mu, she was extremely shocked. Qiao Mu, you passed the preliminaries as well? I didnt expect you to be so lucky. Congrattions. The other partys expression was filled with shock and disbelief. Although he said congrattions, there was no intention of congratting him at all.
Thank you, Qiao Mu said politely. Then, he walked past Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong stared coldly at Qiao Mus back, and she felt an indescribable rage in her heart. In the first round of the preliminary round, Key reviewed the works alone. There were 120 people, and there were less than 50 people left. Thepetition was very intense. He originally thought that Qiao Mu would be eliminated no matter what, but he never expected that she would actually pass! How could a student who was still in school pass the strict checks of the Key and enter the semi-finals? It seemed like this woman had a lot of connections. She had almost forgotten that Qiao Mu had another backer, and that was Li Yan! She really knew how to make use of her beauty. Initially, she thought that Li Yan was a decent man who never had any scandals or gossip. Now, Ning Tongtong finally understood that Li Yan was not as lecherous as the rumors said. It was just that these women who could not be seen had no right to be exposed. Wasnt there a rumor that Li Yan had a fiance? As expected, only the real deal had the right to be exposed! Hmph, whats so great about this Qiao Mu! Perhaps Li Yan would lose interest in her before the semi-finals ended. By then, she could forget about getting in through the back door! At this moment, two contestants walked by,ughing and chatting. When they saw Ning Tongtong, they greeted her with a smile, Youre also a contestant, right? I havent seen you in the preliminaries. I wonder whichpany youre representing as a fashion designer? Ning Tongtong looked at the two women in front of her, and a scheming look shed across her eyes. Im Ning Tongtong. Im the fashion designer for Xinyu Clothing Company and Tong. Xinyu Clothing Company? Isnt he the investor of ourpetition? The other party was very surprised. Realizing that she had lost herposure, she smiled and said, I havent introduced myself. My name is Anting. This is my junior, Tang Xiaozhu. We are both designers of Huaya Clothing Company. Tang Xiaozhu smiled at Ning Tongtong and said, I have an impression of the TANG brand. It should be a girls clothing that has only be popr in recent months, right? Ning Tongtong smiled lightly. I didnt expect my brand to be so popr. You two are also designers in the same industry, but you two sisters actually know about TANG. An Ting was stunned. Your brand? In other words, you are the one who designed Tongs? Ning Tongtong smiled and nodded, only to be praised by the other party. Youre really amazing. Although weve been designers for many years, we haventunched our own brand yet. Yeah, you look very young. You should have just graduated, right? It seems that thepetitors in thispetition are very strong! Tang Xiaozhu looked envious. Although many of the designers present were famous, most of them were in the workce. Their reputation was built by their contributions in thepany. It was true that very few people had their own brands. Even if it was just a small brand, it was still very powerful. Ning Tongtong had always been praised by others, but she couldnt help but feel proud when she was recognized by her peers.. Chapter 526 - 526: Ning Tongtong Secretly Provoked Him (2) Chapter 526 - 526: Ning Tongtong Secretly Provoked Him (2) Trantor: 549690339 Although what they said was the truth, she still said humbly,Sister, you guys praise me too much. Im not that good. A capable and humble girl is really likable. An Ting smiled. Ning Tongtong shook her head. Thats nothing. Compared to me, that guy over there is more impressive. Hes a student and has no work experience. Hes really impressive to be able to pass the preliminary round! Ning Tongtongs tone was extremely modest, and it led the others to look at Qiao Mu. A student? Are there still students who havent graduated among us? An Ting said in surprise.
Someone heard An Tings words and came over, asking, Who are you calling a student? Isnt it unfair for us working designers topete with an inexperienced student? Thats right. No matter what, were designers of a big brand. Isntpeting with a student the same aspeting with a new assistant in ourpany? What a waste of time! The group of peopleined in dissatisfaction. The corners of Ning Tongtongs lips curled up slightly. It wasnt that her heart was dark, it was the truth. Anyone who knew of Qiao Mus identity would ept it! How could someone of her statuspete with someone like Qiao Mu who had pulled strings through the back door? Ning Tongtong smiled and said, Dont say that. The students in school might be capable. Miss Qiao must have something special about her to be able to pass the registration and preliminary round. Tongtong, do you know her? An Ting asked. Not really. I just met her once at arge banquet. She was someones femalepanion at that time, so we got to know each other. Ning Tongtongs words were just right, making peoples imagination run wild. Being able to attend arge banquet meant that her identity was not simple. She was hinting that Qiao Mu had entered thepetition through the back door and connections. An Ting was a straightforward person. When she heard Ning Tongtongs words, she said bluntly,Did this person get in through the back door? Tang Xiaozhu tugged at An Ting gently. Senior, you cant say that. Although the other party is a student, he might really be capable. I hope so. Otherwise, its too unfair for us who relied on our abilities to advance. Ning Tongtong looked at Qiao Mus back and smiled triumphantly. At this moment, Key walked out. Most of the yers present had never seen Key in person, so when Key appeared, they immediately turned their attention away. Qiao Mu found a seat and sat down. She heard Key speak on the stage, There are a total of 48 contestants here, and I personally selected them to advance. You can be said to be very outstanding designers for being able to design clothes that meet the standards given by me. Next, Im going to talk about the rules of the semi-finals. The semi-finals will still be the same as before. However, this time, each contestants theme will be different and confidential to prevent giarism. Your designs will be shown to everyone in the fashion show. The models and clothing will be provided to you. Everyone here is an experienced designer. These are all within your scope of work, so there should be no pressure on you. After Key finished speaking, someone suddenly raised his hand and stood up. The person who stood up was An Ting. Mr. Key, we are indeed very experienced, but it seems like there are some among us who are inexperienced. [Continueter until you havepleted yesterdays short update..] Chapter 527 - 527: Ning Tongtong Secretly Provoked Him (3) Chapter 527 - 527: Ning Tongtong Secretly Provoked Him (3) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu raised her head and met An Tings gaze. An Ting looked at Qiao Mu expressionlessly. This contestant is a student. Teacher Key, isnt it unfair for us designers topete with an inexperienced student? An Tings words caused amotion. In an instant, Qiao Mu became the center of attention. Qiao Mu had long expected this scene to happen. After all, she was indeed different from these designers. Knowing that she was a student, it was normal for them to face her.
She didnt need to think to know how others knew that she was a student. Who else could it be other than Ning Tongtong? However, Qiao Mu had a clear conscience. She had relied on her own ability to pass the preliminary round. Key stood on the stage leisurely with his hands in his pockets. He looked at An Ting indifferently and said, I was the one who nned thepetition. Do you think my selection was unfair? An Ting was stunned. No, Mr. Key, she quickly said. We all think that having an inexperienced yer is a waste of my time. Keys long and narrow eyes swept toward Qiao Mu, and Qiao Mu instantly felt a little nervous. She didnt care about other peoplesments and opinions, but she was worried that Keys stance was not firm enough. In order to appease the yers, he would really cancel her qualification. Right at this moment, Qiao Mu heard Keys deep voice. Ive personally checked every contestant here. If anyone feels that its unfair or a waste of time, please leave. Dont waste your time here. Hearing this, the tiny bit of worry in Qiao Mus heart waspletely dispelled. As expected of her idol, upright, handsome, and mighty! An Tings face turned red and white, but she couldnt help but say, Key, be honest. I dont mean to doubt you. Its just that we all know that students who havent graduated, even if they have some ability, have no experience in turning designs into clothes. If we give her a fashion show, Im afraid she wont be able to touch anything. Its not your concern whether she can differentiate north, south, east, and west. If she doesnt have any experience, the judges wont be blind during thepetition. They will naturally dismiss her. If you have the energy, why dont you think about how to treat thepetition instead of targeting a particr contestant! Keys words made An Ting speechless. Tang Xiaozhu tugged at her gently. Sister Anting, Teacher Key is right. If you continue talking, itll be detrimental to yourpetition. Its better to stop talking, An Ting sat down with a red face and a wave of anger in her heart. Ning Tongtong, who was silently watching the show, had a dark expression on her face. She did not expect Key to be so protective of Qiao Mu. It was the same in front of her mother thest time. Could Qiao Mu have bribed Key? Key nced at the yers and said coldly, In mypetition, I will not allow any impurities to be tolerated. It is useless to have any opinions against me. The way to defeat your opponent is not with your mouth and your messy thoughts, but with your strength! Key left after he finished speaking, and Amy walked up to them. Everyone, please wait here. Those whose names have been called can go to the office to get thepetition information. When the contestants regained their freedom, Ning Tongtong came to Qiao Mus side and sat down. Qiao Mu, dont mind them too much. Its normal for them to feel unbnced. You should understand the feelings of the other contestants. They didnt mean to target you. Qiao Mu found Ning Tongtongs act of concern extremelyughable. She looked at him coldly and said without giving him any face, Miss Ning, do you think Im a fool? Chapter 528 - 528: An Unexpected Discovery (1) Chapter 528 - 528: An Unexpected Discovery (1) Trantor: 549690339 Ning Tongtong was stunned and smiled apologetically. Qiao Mu, youve misunderstood. I didnt start the incident just now. They identally found out that youre a student. After all, this isnt a secret. Dont tell me you also feel that its shameful to be a student who hasnt graduated? A hint of coldness shed across Qiao Mus eyes. Why would I feel ashamed? Im just a student, but Im already recognized by Teacher Key. This can only mean that I have the ability, right? Ning Tongtong snorted coldly in her heart, and her expression turned ugly when she saw Qiao Mils arrogant manner. At this moment, Qiao Mus name was called. Qiao Mu stood up and entered the office.
In the office, Key was sitting in front of work. Qiao Mu walked in, and Amy pointed at the chair in front of the desk. Sit, Key has a few questions for you. Qiao Mu sat down, and Key, who was reading documents with his head lowered, looked up at her. Qiao Mu, tell me about your design concept for the preliminary round. After the contestant in front entered, he left after taking the information for a while. Qiao Mu thought that he was only here to take the information and had nothing else to do. Since Key asked, Qiao Mu calmed down and answered very seriously, To be in a bud refers to two states, and thepetition requirement is to design two sets of clothing. In other words, the two sets of clothing will represent two states. My design concept is very simple. One set of clothing is conservative while the other is explicit. It is to interpret the process of a flower bud blooming. Key leaned back in his chair and saidzily, Your design concept is very good, and your work is outstanding. However, have you ever designed finished clothes? Of course! We have a costume course, and Ive made a lot of outfits. Other than that, you havent designed a set of clothes that can be worn? Qiao Mu crossed her hands on her legs. That, does the clothes made for dolls count? KEY: Key stood up and crossed his arms in front of his chest, his gazending on Qiao Mu. Although Im interested in your design ability, if you dont have any actual experience, you wont be able to pass the semi-finals no matter how good your design is. Qiao Mu clenched her fists and said firmly, Teacher Key, I can do it! Im a qualified fashion designer. This kind of thing cant stump me! Key looked at the confident girl in front of him and smiled. Then Ill wait and see how you perform. Amy handed the information for the semi-finals to Qiao Mu. This is the detailedpetition process, the questions for the semi-finals, and the detailed requirements for the works. The questions set by the contestants are confidential, so dont share them with the other contestants. Qiao Mu nodded and prepared to leave with the documents. When she reached the door, she paused and turned to look at Key. Mr. Key, Ive seen your magazine interview. I remember you saying that fashion design and tailor are twopletely different professions. Your hands are used to draw design drafts, not to do needlework with scissors. But just because you dont do it doesnt mean you dont know how to do it. Qiao Mu raised her chin, and her face emitted a dazzling glow. I have the same thoughts as you. I want to be a designer like you in the future. Even if my ability to make clothes is inferior to my ability to design drafts, as long as the drafts I design are outstanding enough, there will naturally be people who can make my designs into finished products. Key narrowed his eyes, and a hint of surprise shed across his eyes when he heard Qiao Mus words. Immediately after, Qiao Mu bowed to Key. Thank you for your recognition of me. Ill try my best to perform well.. Chapter 529 - 529: An Unexpected Discovery (2) Chapter 529 - 529: An Unexpected Discovery (2) Trantor: 549690339 Amy looked at the girl in front of her. Her face was calm, and her clear eyes were sparkling. She had an extremely determined expression, and she looked very annoying. This was the first time someone had said something like that in front of Key,paring herself to Key. It was as if she would definitely reach Keys level in the future. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she turned around and left the room. Amy looked at Keys interested expression and smiled. Why? Are you interested in this kind of ambitious little girl? Keys lips curled up. I just didnt expect someone to brag to me.
But it looks like shes really your loyal fan. She actually remembers what you said in the interview. Key rubbed his chin with his slender fingers, and his eyes were filled with admiration. Shes right. There are many tailors who can make clothes now, but there are very few designers who can design unique clothes. Im looking forward to her next performance. Qiao Mu had just left when the next person to be called was Ning Tongtong. After Ning Tongtong entered the office, Amy gave her the documents and said that she could leave. Ning Tongtong was very puzzled. Qiao Mu had stayed in the room for a long time just now, but she was sent out so quickly. She wondered if Qiao Mu was trying to get close to Key. Just as Ning Tongtong was thinking about whether she should say something to get closer to Key, she heard Amy exim, Ah, Qiao Mus submitted and preliminarypetition works are still with me. I forgot to give them to her. Ning Tongtong was very curious about what kind of work Qiao Mu had designed, so she took the initiative to ask, Amy, give it to me. Ill give it to her. Amy thought for a moment. These works needed to bepleted and disyed during the semi-finals, so there was no need to keep it a secret. She handed a few design drafts to Ning Tongtong. Then Ill have to trouble you. The design sketch ced at the very top was Qiao Mus registered work. Ning Tongtong was stunned when she saw the design sketch at a nce. This design Amy noticed her strange behavior and asked, Whats wrong? Amy, is this Qiao Mus work? Yeah, is there a problem? Ning Tongtong realized that she had lost herposure and frowned. Dont you think that her design technique is very simr to my TANG brand? In other words, Qiao Mu had giarized her style. Amy looked at Ning Tongtongs doubtful expression. She didnt seem to be faking it. She smiled and said, This design draft is indeed very simr. Take a look at the other two works. Ning Tongtong flipped to the next page. When she saw Qiao Mus design with the budding flower as the theme, her grip on the draft subconsciously tightened. If one were to say that the first design was simr to her work and was an imitation of her, then thetter two designs were much more outstanding than her work. There was no reason for Qiao Mu to giarize her work. Ning Tongtong quickly regained herposure. Maybe its a coincidence. Amy didnt think too much about it. She also felt that it was very likely a coincidence. In terms of giarism, only Qiao Mu could have giarized Ning Tongtong. However, Qiao Mus work was more perfect than Ning Tongtongs, so this possibility would not be profitable. On the other hand, it was even more impossible for Ning Tongtong to copy Qiao Mus work. After all, the Tongs brand had already been on the market for a few months, and Qiao Mu was only a first-year student at that time. Ning Tongtong walked out of the office with an ugly expression on her face. The design drafts in her hands were almost deformed in her grip. This was Qiao Mus design. This was actually a work of art designed by Qiao NIII! How was this possible? Qiao Mu, whom she had always looked down on, actually Chapter 530 - 530: An Accident (3) Chapter 530 - 530: An ident (3) Trantor: 549690339 After Qiao Mu received the information, she immediately left. Just as she entered the elevator, Ning Tongtong followed behind her. Qiao Mu, Amy asked me to give this to you. She forgot to give it to you. Ning Tongtong entered the elevator and handed the draft to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu received it and thanked Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong looked at Qiao Mu and asked nonchntly, Qiao Mu, is this really your design? Qiao Mu could hear the disbelief in the other partys tone, so she smiled faintly. What do you mean, Miss Ning? Could it be that I can use someone elses drawing to participate in thepetition? Are you questioning my work?
Ning Tongtong secretly bit her lip and said coldly, Qiao Mu, I didnt say anything, so you dont have to feel guilty. Although you passed the preliminary round, the real fight will be in the next two rounds. Wellpete again in the semi-finals! Guilty? Qiao Mu felt that it was baffling. What did she have to feel guilty about? The elevator door opened and Ning Tongtong left in big strides. She got into the car, and her face, which was pretending to be calm, almost twisted in an instant. She took out her registered work from her folder. The design sketch was very simr to Qiao Mus registered work. She Imew Qiao Mus work and design techniques very well. It was exactly the same as her Tongs brand! Back then, she had just graduated and racked her brains tounch her own brand, but she had no inspiration. She identally saw a design draft on the Inte that was very suitable for the girl theme she wanted tounch. Aftermunicating on the Inte, she decided to buy the design draft from him. However, she never imagined that the person selling the drafts would actually be Qiao Mu! She had always looked down on college students who she looked down on! Thinking about how she had relied on a university student for so long to achieve what she had today, she could not restrain the anger in her heart. No! It was absolutely impossible! That person could have sold the draft to her, or he could have sold it to someone else. Perhaps Qiao Mu had also bought the draft from that person to participate in thepetition! That must be the case! As long as she did not have proof, she would never believe that Qiao Mu was that person! Ning Tongtong sat in the car and watched as Qiao Mu walked out of the main door. A cold glint shed across her eyes. This Oiao Mil must not be left alive! If Qiao Mu was allowed to continue thepetition, the matter of her design drafts would be discovered sooner orter, and her hard-earned achievements would go to waste! As long as she had a dark history in this industry, she could forget about making aeback! Qiao Mu walked out of the building and took out her phone to call Chi Xia. She wanted to ask Chi Xia out for a meal. Qiao Mu dialed Chi Xias number, and it rang for a long time before the other party picked up. Hello, he said in a hoarse andzy voice. Qiao Mu was stunned. Xiaxia, its alreadyte in the morning and youre still sleeping? Chi Xia was still in a daze when she was woken up by Qiao Mus call. She felt dizzy and opened her mouth, but her throat hurt like smoke. She turned over and rubbed her temples. Suddenly realizing where she was, her face turned pale. She suddenly sat up. Her movements were too fast, and her head hurt even more from the panic. She actually fell asleep at Su Chens housest night! She actually slept in such a dangerous ce for the entire night! Chi Xia was in a daze as she held her phone. She looked up and saw a tall figure standing at the door. Her mouth fell open and she was stunned. Since when was this man standing outside the door? Chapter 531 - 531: Being Taken Care of When Sick (1) Chapter 531 - 531: Being Taken Care of When Sick (1) Trantor: 549690339 Thinking of what happenedst night, she subconsciously became vignt and tightened her grip on the nket. Xiaxia? Qiao Mu muttered to herself when she didnt get a response, Did you fall asleep again? No No, my throat hurts a little. I think Ive caught a cold. Chi Xia said in a panic as she stared at Su Chen warily, afraid that he would approach her. Qiao Mu continued, I wanted to ask you out for a meal, but Ill go straight back to the dormitory. Ill bring you some medicer. No need! Theres still medicine in the dormitory. Ill eat outside. Dont worry about me. I still want to sleep for a while.
Alright then. Have a good rest. After hanging up the phone, Chi Xia quickly jumped off the bed. Last night, she had curled up by the bed and slept without a nket. It would be strange if she didnt catch a cold after being frozen for the entire night! Just as she stood up, her vision blurred and her body lost its bnce. She fell forward and fell back onto the bed. At this moment, the man at the door approached. She immediately got up and looked at Su Chen with a pale face. Donte over! Su Chen furrowed his brows. Seeing the fear and nervousness in her eyes, he was inexplicably furious. What did this woman take her for? Her body swayed, and her face was pale with an abnormal blush. He ignored her guard and went forward to grab her arm. The moment he touched her. her Detite bodv froze. Chi Xia instinctively tried to push him away, but her body was too weak to resist. Chi Xias heart sank when she thought about what this man had donest night. She hated herself for falling asleep so defenseless! She should have escaped when he let her gost night! However, just as Chi Xia was at a loss, the mansrge hand reached out to her. She shrunk her neck nervously and tried to avoid it, but in the next second, therge handnded on her forehead. She looked at him in shock, unable to react in time. Then, she heard the mans deep voice. Chi Xia, are you stupid? Dont you know that you have a fever? Her words made Chi Xias mind go nk. This man was not trying to do anything to her, but he had sensed that she was sick.. She took the opportunity to push him away. Im fine. Im leaving. As she spoke, she lowered her head and was about to leave when she was stopped before she could take two steps. Youre so sick. Are you sure you can leave? I can Chi Xia wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the heavens seemed to be against her. Before she could finish her sentence, she felt her vision blur and she almost fell. Su Chen looked at the woman in front of him who was trying to be brave and picked her up. You cant even walk properly. Where do you think youre going? Chi Xia shouted, Let go of me, Su Chen Shut up! Su Chen impatiently ced Chi Xia on the bed and pulled the nket over her. However, he pulled the nket too hard and covered Chi Xias entire head. Chi Xia pulled down the nket and propped her arms up to get up. Before she could sit up, arge hand pressed down on her shoulder and she fell back onto the bed. Lie down and dont move. A warning voice sounded above his head. Chi Xia was already feeling dizzy and feverish. After Su Chens torment, she felt her mind bing more and more muddled and she no longer had the strength to move. She looked at the man beside her and pleaded, Young Master Su, I can go back and rest. Let me go.. Chapter 532 - 532: Being Taken Care of When Sick (2) Chapter 532 - 532: Being Taken Care of When Sick (2) Trantor: 549690339 Regardless of whether it was safe to stay in this mans house or not, she always felt ufortable in a mans house that she was almost unfamiliar with. Su Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard her call him Young Master Su. Seeing how unwilling she was, his face darkened. Why? Did you forget what happenedst night before you got drunk? Do you need me to remind you that you agreed to be my womanst night?
Chi Xia tightened her grip on the nket. She had forgotten about this! She did such a stupid thing in a moment of heat! Without waiting for Chi Xia to deny it, Su Chen took out his phone and dialed a number. Dr. Chen, I have a patient with a cold. Hes in my apartment. Come over. After hearing Su Chens words, Chi Xia sat up again and quickly said, Young Master Su, theres no need to trouble you. Ill be fine after taking some medicine. Im really fine Su Chen hung up the phone and looked at Chi Xia coldly. Dont make me repeat myself. If you dont want me to continue what happenedst night, lie down! If you dont think your illness is serious, I dont mind doing something now. Dont forget that youre my woman now. Ill do anything! That one sentence stopped Chi Xia from saying anything else. She wanted to deny what she had promised himst night, but he had already taken her for his woman! His words were full of threats and warnings, so she did not dare to disobey him anymore. She could only lie down obediently. Even so, the nervousness in her heart still lingered, worried that he would really do something to her. After that, Chi Xia remained in a nervous state. She wanted to be on high alert, but she became less and less focused and fell asleep again.
After an unknown period of time, she was woken up by the sound of conversation. Before she opened her eyes, she felt someone touching her body. She threw a punch out of reflex. And thenHe hit a hard object and his finger joints hurt. She opened her eyes abruptly and met a pair of malicious ck eyes. She instantly became clear-headed. Chi Xia shuddered. She had thought that Su Chen would do something to her while she was sleeping, but when she saw the thermometer in his hand, she realized that he was taking her temperature! At this moment, the mans expression turned ugly. She seemed to have hit his shoulder just now Im sorry, I didnt mean to Su Chens face was cold as he handed the thermometer to her. Take your own temperature! Chi Xia silently took the thermometer, turned sideways, hid under the nket, and ced the thermometer under her armpit. At this moment, she noticed a middle-aged man beside her. He was probably the doctor Su Chen had called. After a while, her temperature was good. She took it out and looked at the thermometer. She nced at Su Chen and said, 38.9 degrees. Su Chen looked at the doctor. Dr. Chen, give her an IV drip. Before the doctor could reply, Chi Xia shook her head and said, No need. As long as you take the fever medicine and drink more water, your fever will go down. Theres no need for an injection. She had been in good health since she was young. She rarely had injections when she was sick. She would be fine after taking some medicine. There was no need for an IV drip. Su Chen frowned. Why? Are you a medical student? Chi Xia was speechless. Why was this man so unreasonable? This wasmon sense, alright? Even if she wasnt a medical student, she understood! At this moment, the doctor smiled and said, Mr. Su, the patient really doesnt need an IV drip. Ill prescribe some fever medicine and cold medicine for her. As long as she drinks more water and sweats a little, her temperature will drop naturally. This is a small cold, its not serious. After hearing the doctors words, Su Chen saw the woman lying on the bed and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He looked away coldly and nodded with a dark face. [I owe you a few chapters. I still have things to do in the next two days. Ill make up for it in two days. Theres an update today..] Chapter 533 - 533: We Are Already Together (1) Chapter 533 - 533: We Are Already Together (1) Trantor: 549690339 After the doctor prescribed the medicine, he left. Before he left, he reminded her to eat before taking the medicine. Chi Xias stomach had been empty since she woke up. Her stomach was rumbling with hunger, but she was too embarrassed to say it in front of Su
Chen. She wanted to leave this ce as soon as possible, but Su Chen had no intention of letting her go. After a while, Su Chen stood at the door and said, Come out and eat. Chi Xia was stunned. When she met Su Chens gaze, she gave up resisting and got off the bed. There was takeout on the dining table. Chi Xia ate a few bites and asked Su Chen, Mr. Smith, when can I go back? Whats wrong? Are you notfortable living here? Of course it was ufortable! However, Chi Xia knew that telling the truth would not end well. She lowered her head and ate her porridge. She whispered, Lets do thisNot too good. Su Chen red at Chi Xia coldly and said, You are my woman.
Chi Xia was speechless. She naturally understood what he meant. He was telling her that she was his woman, so it was normal for her to live in his house. But Even if were dating, isnt it a little too fast for us to progress to the point of cohabitation? Actually, she wanted to deny their rtionship, but when she thought about what he had warned her before, she agreed. Is it fast? Didnt you already have sex with me before you got together with me? Chi Xia was speechless. F * ck! Chi Xia had the urge to curse! This man looked gentle, but why was he so annoying? Was it interesting for him to constantly remind her of her mistakes? Chi Xia stopped talking and buried her head in her food. After the meal, Chi Xia returned to her room, took her medicine, andy down again. She looked at Su Chen and said, Mr. Su, my fever will be gone in a while. You can go do your own thing. Dont worry about me. Su Chen nced at her. Where did you get so much nonsense from? Do you think Im staying at home to apany you? Youre thinking too much. Im resting today! .. Alright then. Chi Xia really wanted to reply, Youre the one whos overthinking, arent you? She really didnt think that he was staying here to apany her. It was just that she didnt feel safe with him here. She would only feel more at ease if he left. At this moment, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Mu Mtl. Chi Xia was a little worried that Qiao Mu would be exposed when she returned to the dormitory and saw that she was not around. After some thought, she picked up the call. Mu Mu, whats wrong? At this moment, Qiao Mu was buying medicine at the pharmacy. Although Chi Xia said that she had medicine, she still wanted to buy more varieties. However, when she entered the pharmacy and was asked about her symptoms, she was unsure and could only call Chi Xia. Hearing Chi Xias voice, Qiao Mu asked, Xiaxia, what are your symptoms? Im at the pharmacy. Ill bring you some medicine. Chi Xia replied nonchntly, Ive already taken my medicine. You dont have to worry about me. Im not in the dormitory now. Im fine. You went out when you were sick. Where did you go? Chi Xia nced at Su Chen and said vaguely, 1 have something to do Su Chen saw that Chi Xia was trying her best to hide it and said coldly, Hang up the phone. You need to rest after taking your medicine. Qiao Mu heard him clearly on the other end of the phone and asked in surprise, Whos talking? Xiaxia, who are you with? I didnt Just as Chi Xia was about to cover it up, the phone in her hand was suddenly snatched away. She looked up in shock and saw Su Chen holding the phone to his ear Chapter 534 - 534: We Are Already Together (2) Chapter 534 - 534: We Are Already Together (2) Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xias eyes widened. She got up to grab the phone, knelt by the bed, and threw herself onto Su Chen. Before her hand could touch the phone, she heard the man speak slowly into the phone and spit out four simple words. Qiao Mu, its me.
Chi Xias face instantly turned red. Su Chen looked at the woman who threw herself into his arms and narrowed his eyes. He held the phone in one hand and grabbed her outstretched hand with the other to stop her from snatching the phone. However, it was useless to snatch it now. Qiao Mu was stunned when she suddenly heard a male voice on the other end of the phone. She never expected Chi Xia to be with a man! In just a moment, she recognized the other partys voice. It was Su Chen! Not only was Chi Xia with a man, but that man was also Su Chen! The amount of information was too much for Qiao Mu to react to. Qiao Mu controlled her surprise and asked, Young Master Su, why are you with Xiaxia? Su Chen answered matter-of-factly, Shes sick. Shes already taken her medicine and is preparing to rest. She cant talk on the phone. If theres anything, just tell me. Qiao Mu waspletely unable to digest this tremendous amount of information!
Su Chen did not answer Qiao Mus question directly, but his words revealed even more shocking information. Not only was he with Chi Xia, but Chi Xia seemed to be in his house! Chi Xias eyes widened. Why couldnt he control his mouth and say such ambiguous words! Qiao Mu was confused. After thinking about it, she still asked clearly, Young Master Su, whats going on between you and Xiaxia? Were already together. Were already together! They were already together! They were together! Young Master Su, can you give Xiaxia your phone? I want to confirm with her. After Su Chen finished speaking, he returned the phone to Chi Xia. Chi Xia snatched the phone back with a flushed face. Her head was buzzing and she didnt know what to say to Qiao Mu. Mu Mil Tell me honestly. You two are together. What happened? Qiao Mu questioned. Chi Xia sighed. She couldnt exin it clearly, so she could only reply with an mm . Worried that Qiao Mu would get to the bottom of it, she continued, Mumu, Ill tell you the details when we get back. Qiao Mu didnt pursue the matter. Alright, you rest first. After hanging up, Chi Xia red at Su Chen angrily. What are you doing? Did you get my permission to say those nonsense to Mumu?! Su Chens eyes darkened. Were already together. Isnt that the truth? Why are you so agitated? Didnt you promise to be my woman? Or do you want to be with me while sneaking around? Chi Xias expression changed again and again. This time, things were really out of control! Without waiting for Chi Xia to say anything, Su Chen walked over and stuffed Chi Xia under the nket without a word. This woman still dared to get angry at him. She was sick and was taken care of by him. She didnt know how to be grateful and had been on guard against him! He must be out of his mind to take care of such an insensible woman! To Chi Xia, this treatment was too stressful and she did not feel happy at all! However, when she saw the man beside her arranging the medicine on the bedside table, she did not know how she felt. When she was sick, her emotions were more easily affected. A man who had almost no interaction with her was only rted to her because of a mistake. He had no need to take care of her. This was the first time she was taken care of by a man when she was sick. Other than feeling very nervous, she was actually a little touched.. Chapter 535 - 535: Uncle’s Status Will Always Be Number One Chapter 535 - 535: Uncles Status Will Always Be Number One Trantor: 549690339 Next, Qiao Mu got busy. The schedule for thepetition was very tight, so he asked for leave from the school to focus on thepetition.
At this time, Li Yan was going on a business trip. When Li Yan packed his luggage and was about to leave for the airport, Qiao Mu was still lying on the coffee table, frowning and biting her pen as she racked her brains. Li Yan looked at the little one who was so focused and did not take him seriously at all. He could not help but feel a little dissatisfied. Although she knew how important this match was to her, it was actually more important than him! Li Yan walked over and patted Qiao Mus little head before saying indifferently, rm leaving. Yes. Qiao Mu only responded to Li Yan with a word that was neither too light nor too heavy. She did not even raise her head. Li Yans dissatisfaction reached its peak in an instant. This little thing dared to ignore him like this! Qiao Mu was too focused on her thoughts. When she heard Li Yans words, she thought that he was going to work as usual. However, a few secondster, she immediately remembered that this man was going on a business trip! She raised her head abruptly and met his cold, dark eyes.
It was over! She identally made Young Master Li unhappy. Qiao Mu chuckled as she stood up and held Li Yans arm. Uncle, lets go. Ill send you off. Li Yan snorted coldly and turned to leave. Qiao Mu eagerly followed him out the door. It was alreadyte autumn, and Qiao Mu was only wearing a thin set of home clothes at home. The moment she stepped out, the cold wind blew on her body, and she couldnt help but shiver. Seeing that Li Yan was walking in front of her and ignoring her, Qiao Mu enthusiastically took the luggage from the butler. Uncle Chen, Im here to help Little Uncle move his luggage. Li Yan turned around and saw the little woman clumsily moving his luggage into the trunk. Her delicate body was blown by the cold wind, and she was shivering as she moved the luggage. Li Yan frowned. He walked over to grab her suitcase and helped her move it into the car. Qiao Mu rubbed her hands and leaned against Li Yan. Uncle, its so cold. Li Yan opened his coat and wrapped her petite body in front of his chest, shielding her from the cold wind. He said in a slightly responsible tone, You dont even know how to put on more clothes when youe out. Youre so focused on yourpetition that you dont even have the brain to think about anything else. Even my position has to follow behind you. No! Uncle will always be the first in my heart! Qiao Mu wrapped her arms around Li Yans waist and rubbed against his warm body. She said coquettishly in a low voice, Uncle, the weather is getting colder. You have toe back early to warm my bed. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Only warming up the bed? Dont you need to warm up before warming up? Qiao Mu was speechless. She was starting to be indecent again! Li Yan looked down at her. Her soft body was leaning against his chest, making him want to eat her up. Pinching her toot cheeks, he instructed, When Im not around, youre not allowed to stay up toote. You cant forget to eat and sleep. If Ie back and find that youve be haggard and thin, watch how I punish you! Understood! Qiao Mu straightened her back, her attitude extremely serious. Also, if you run into any trouble during thepetition, or if you cant solve it, dont force yourself. Go find your mother-inw to solve it. Qiao Mu blushed when she heard him address her as granny. Whos granny?! Dont talk nonsense. Her face was red, and she looked very alluring. Li Yans eyes darkened. He pushed Qiao Mu against the car and lowered his head to kiss her lips.. Chapter 536 - 536: The Reluctance Before Parting Chapter 536 - 536: The Reluctance Before Parting
Trantor: 549690339 Every time he parted ways with her, he wished he could carry her in his pocket and bring her with him. The Li Yan of the past had always been alone. He had no worries wherever he went. How could he have thought that there would be someone who would hold him back so firmly?
Even back then, he did not expect this little thing to have such a huge influence. It was like a poison. Once it came into contact with him, he would be unable to extricate himself! After a while, Qiao Mus face turned red from the kiss. This kiss was filled with the reluctance to part before they parted, bringing out all of Qiao Mus emotions. She leaned against Li Yans chest weakly. Uncle, Im not by your side. You have to take good care of yourself. Li Yan was speechless. I should be the one telling you this. She made it sound like she was the one taking care of him whenever she was by his side. Qiao Mu smiled embarrassedly. Then you have to remember to miss me! Li Yans heart skipped a beat. Since you cant bear to part with me, why dont you leave with me? You know I cant leave. Humph! The two of them were like a young couple in the heat of love. They were reluctant to part with each other.
The people around them stood silently at the side. It was not strange for the two of them to be in love. However, when Young Master Li expressed his reluctance so tantly, the others could not help but be shocked. It was rare to see such a scene. The butler and servants lowered their heads,pletely treating themselves as if they did not exist. Lei Yi, who was standing beside the car, looked at the time on his watch and braced himself to say, Young Master, we should set off. The moment he said that, Li Yan red at him coldly. Lei Yi felt so innocent. He really didnt mean to disturb these two peoples sweet talk. If they didnt leave now, the ne would bete! Qiao Mu, who was originally immersed in sweetness, only realized that there were people around her! When she thought about how everything had happened right under the noses of others, her face turned red. She gently pushed the man in front of her. Uncle, get in the car. Li Yan sighed in his heart. Even if he did not want to leave, he had no choice. Qiao Mu silently watched as Li Yan got into the car. She waved at the car and watched it disappear into the courtyard before she reluctantly retracted her gaze. Li Yans business trip this time seemed to take a long time. She wondered if he could make it in time for herpetition.
Next, Qiao Mu focused on thepetition and fully expressed her longing for Li Yan into her own creation. Qiao Mu arrived at Xinyu Clothing Company and went to the sponsorship department to choose the fabric for her clothes. Qiao Mu showed her contestant identification, and the staff members gaze swept over Qiao Mu before asking for confirmation, Youre Qiao Mu? Yes. Qiao Mu nodded. Come with me. The staff member brought Qiao Mu to the storage unit and pointed at the messy pile of fabric inside. Go in and choose your own. Once youre done, just register at the front desk. The cloth in the warehouse was piled up in a mess. If one looked carefully, one could see that there was ayer of dust on the cloth. It was obvious that it had not been touched for a long time. How could the costume sponsorship for thepetition be so bad! Just as Qiao Mu was about to say something, she saw An Ting, who was also a contestant, walk out from another warehouse. An Ting instructed the movers, Sir, please be careful. These silk chiffon fabrics are easy to weave. Help me move them to the car. Qiao Mu looked at the warehouse An Ting was in. The fabric inside was neatly arranged, and there was a variety of colors and materials. There were also workers taking care of it. It was on apletely different level from the abandoned warehouse in front of her. Qiao Mu looked at the staff member who brought her over and asked in puzzlement, Excuse me, did you bring me to the wrong ce? She and I are in the same batch.. Why is the treatment different? Chapter 537 - 537: Being Difficult Everywhere Chapter 537 - 537: Being Difficult Everywhere
Trantor: 549690339 The staff member smiled disapprovingly. I dont know why she would choose fabric in that warehouse. I only know that it was right to bring you to this warehouse. If you dont want to choose here, you can go back and prepare yourself. Qiao Mus expression darkened.
There were rules in thepetition. In order to ensure fairness and to promote the sponsors products, all the things that could be used had to be selected from the sponsor. They were not allowed to prepare their own materials in private. The other party was deliberately making things difficult for her by treating her like this! At this moment, An Ting noticed Qiao Mu. What a coincidence, youre here to collect fabric too? As she spoke, An Ting nced at the warehouse behind Qiao Mu and smiled Imowingly. Qiao Mu, dont be discouraged. Thepetition is actually very fair. The sponsors also feel that giving you the good fabric is a waste of resources. You wont be able to pass the semi-finals anyway, so the fabric you use is just a formality. It wont affect the overall situation. Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Ms. An, no matter what, youre my senior. You should know that in this industry, you dont speak with your mouth, but with your ability. As a senior, dont you think its a little ungentlemanly of you to belittle a junior without any regard for your image? You Sister Ting. At this moment, Tang Xiaozhu came out of the warehouse and advised in a low voice, This is someone elsespany. Dont cause trouble. Lets go. An Ting red at Qiao Mu. Then Ill wait and see what abilities you have! An Ting turned around and entered the elevator. Tang Xiaozhu looked at Qiao Mu apologetically. Im sorry. Sister Anting isnt a bad person. Please dont take it to heart. Only then did Qiao Mu notice Tang Xiaozhu. She seemed to be very easy-going and easy to get along with. She said nonchntly, Its alright. Im still able to take a blow.
Tang Xiaozhu smiled. Although they all say that youre just a student and have no ability, Teacher Key personally selected you. You cant be wrong. Ill see you in thepetition! Tang Xiaozhus eyes lit up at the mention of the KEY. Qiao Mu was familiar with this expression. It was what a little fan should do to her idol. Qiao Mu instantly had a good impression of Tang Xiaozhu. They were all loyal fans of the game. From Qiao Mus point of view, anyone who could admire the same persons work as her must have a good character. After waving goodbye to Tang Xiaozhu, Qiao Mus expression turned grave. The staff looked at the time and urged,Please hurry up and choose. I still have to receive other contestants. As a contestant, dont be picky about ourpanys sponsorship. If you really dont want to choose, then go back and prepare yourself. If youre found out, itll be the same as forfeiting! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and entered the warehouse. The material of the fabric in the warehouse was not bad. After all, it was high-end goods made byrge enterprises. However, there were very few color ssifications. Some of the fabric was out of date from a few years ago. Otherwise, it would not have been ced in the abandoned warehouse. Qiao Mu thought about her design theme and chose a few bolts of fabric. After Qiao Mu finished choosing the fabric, the chauffeur sent her home. When Li Yan left, he specially arranged for her to have his car and driver.
In front of a window on the seventh floor of the skyscraper, Ning Tongtong watched Qiao Mu get into the ck sedan with disgust in her eyes. Her phone rang and she picked it up. Then, she heard the staff report, Tongs, Ive already done what you asked me to do. Qiao Mu picked a few pieces of discarded fabric and left. They were all outdated. She picked a huge pile of them, like a garbage recycling station. Very good. Oh right, dont mention this to my mother. Dont let her worry too much. Understood. Ning Tongtongs lips curled into a cold smile. Her beautiful face had turned ferocious because of the ruthlessness.. Chapter 538 - 538: An Unserious Uncle Chapter 538 - 538: An Unserious Uncle
Trantor: 549690339 As the fabric was unexpected, Qiao Mu could only change her design style to make the fabric appear in the most perfect form. In fact, these fabrics were not as bad as they looked on the surface. Qiao Mu was confident that she could turn her weakness into an advantage!
She remembered that Key had once said that an excellent designer could not design clothes from fashion brands by giving you perfect creative conditions. Instead, they could design the most popr clothes from outdated fabrics. Every season, the clothes that Key released were not in the current fashion colors and styles, but they could be the favorite of everyone. If Key could do it, Qiao Mu could also try it! Just as Qiao Mu was working tirelessly, her phone rang. She nced at the caller ID and grinned. She picked up the call sweetly. Uncle, youre calling me sote at night. Did you miss me? The mans deep voice sounded. Im here to check if youre sleeping on time. You sound so excited. It seems like youre not listening. Qiao Mu was stunned. She looked at the time and saw that it was already past midnight. She smiled and said, Actually, Im waiting for Uncle to call me. I cant bear to sleep. You have a glib tongue! Im telling the truth. I miss Uncle so much that I cant sleep. Li Yan snorted coldly. He knew that she was deliberately trying to fool him with nice words, but he still lost his temper and ordered forcefully, Hurry up and go to bed.
Qiao Mu nced at the pile of work on her hands and listened to the mans unyielding tone, so she could only listen obediently. Qiao Mu slowly climbed onto the bed andid on the nket, stretchingzily. Reporting to Your Excellency, this little girl has alreadyid down. Li Yans tone softened a little. Turn on the video. Let me take a look. Qiao Mu opened the video call and saw the mans handsome face on the screen. The smile on her face deepened, but when she saw the man sitting on the office chair, she frowned in displeasure. You told me to go to bed, but you stayed upte to work. This is too unfair! No, you have to sleep with me too! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up into a devilish smile. Alright, lets sleep together. Sleep together The mans expression when he said these three words was as if he was going to crawl into her bed the next second. These three words sounded innocent and proper when they came out of Qiao Mus mouth, but why did they sound so ambiguous when they came out of this mans mouth? Qiao Mus face reddened as she burrowed into the nket and spat. Hooligan!
Little thing, why have you be so perverted now? I didnt say anything. Why are you blushing? Qiao Mu was speechless. Lust your sister! Just as Qiao Mu was about to hang up the call out of embarrassment, she heard the mans deep and maic voice. Did you miss me just now? Qiao Mu really wanted to deny it, but after being separated for a few days, she could not restrain her longing for him. If it wasnt because of thepetition, she would have found it hard to endure. He humphed and replied with a very small hmm. Where? The mans lowughter sounded, and his tone was full of ambiguity. Do you want to think about it from above or from below? Qiao Mu was speechless. In an instant, Qiao Mus face flushed red. This bastard! Could he be any more indecent? Why did her once upright big brother be such a hooligan? He simply refreshed the lower limit of a hooligan time and time again.. He could not bear to look at it! Chapter 539 - 539: Who Dares to Bully My Daughter! Chapter 539 - 539: Who Dares to Bully My Daughter!
Trantor: 549690339 I dont want to anymore! Qiao Mu shouted angrily at the phone and quickly hung up. It would be very dangerous if she continued to chat with the hooligan! Li Yan looked at the ck screen on his phone and shook his head helplessly.
This little thing was still so shy even through the phone screen. It was really time for her to be thick-skinned, but she was embarrassed with him. However, he liked to tease her like this. He looked so cute that he wanted to eat her up. Li Yans body tensed up at the thought of this, and he started to feel ufortable. He sighed. His body was bing more and more inseparable from her. At this moment, his phone rang. He opened WeChat and saw a message from the little woman:Hurry up and put down your work and go to sleep. Im going to sleep. Good night. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. His handsome face was extraordinarily handsome. His slender fingers tapped the screen and replied to the message. Then, she stood up and went into the bathroom, ready to wash up and go to bed! Even if they couldnt sleep together, they could only sleep at the same time. He would treat her as if she was right beside him. Qiao Mu hugged her phone, and when she saw the simple words on the screen, her face instantly turned red. Her heart felt as if it was filled with something sweet, and a hint of sweetness spread out and enveloped her entire being. Goodnight, baby, Li Yan replied. In fact, happiness was that simple. Just a name was enough to make one feel as sweet as honey in their hearts.
Qiao Mu slept soundly that night, and she continued to be busy after waking up. The living room of the Li family had almost be her workce. She did not have any brands orpanies supporting her, so she could only do it at home. When Yu Yiduo returned home, she saw the messy fabric and the dust on the fabric flying in the air. She thought that she had entered the wrong door. Mumu, your uncle will be gone for a few days. I think youre going to tear down the eaves of our house. This is simply a clothing factory! The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. Was it that serious? Yu Yiduo rummaged through the pile of fabric and asked, Are these the fabrics you need for yourpetition? Qiao Mu nodded, and Yu Yiduo frowned. The colors of these fabrics arent the current trend. And this one, I think its a fabric used in a style that was introduced by thepany a few years ago. It was very popr back then, but its already outdated now! Yu Yiduo was indeed a fashionista, and she gave Qiao Mu a good beating the moment she opened her mouth. Auntie, Qiao Mu said helplessly, Ive actually offended the sponsor of ourpetition, so the products they sponsor for mypetition arent anything good. Yu Yiduos eyes widened in anger. Who dares to bully my daughter? Tell me, and Ill settle the score with him! As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and aggressively prepared to fight.
Qiao Mu stepped forward and held Yu Yiduos arm, persuading, Dont be angry. Even if they make things difficult for me, Ive thought of a solution. Ill use these fabrics to design fashionable clothes. The confident and beautiful smile on Qiao Mus face charmed Yu Yiduo. This was the first time Yu Yiduo had seen Qiao Mus expression when she mentioned fashion design. As expected, her daughter-inw was not only beautiful on the outside but also kind on the inside. She was simply abination of beauty, kindness, and wisdom! No wonder her son was so smitten. The Li family had indeed picked up a treasure! Yu Yiduo raised her hand to rub Qiao Mus face and praised, My good daugnter, youre so capable. you really nave my genes. Qiao Mu was speechless..

Trantor: 549690339 Ms. Yu, are you too engrossed in role-ying and really treating yourself as your own mother? However, having such a mother was indeed a very blissful thing for Qiao Mu.
Perhaps her mother would be like Yu Yiduo and would love her dearly when she saw her. Qiao Mu shook her head and turned her attention back to her work. Auntie,e and help me take a look and give me some suggestions. Alright! Qiao Mu discussed with Yu Yiduo as she designed the clothes. Even though Yu Yiduo was not an expert, she was very familiar with branded clothing. In terms of fashion, she gave Qiao Mu many useful suggestions. Qiao Mu lowered her head to cut the fabric. Yu Yiduo picked up Qiao Mus phone and casually opened WeChat to check if her daughter-inw had any other ambiguous chat partners when her son was not around. However, when he opened WeChat, he saw Qiao Mu and Li Yans chat history. Just as Qiao Mu was thinking about the size she should cut, Yu Yiduos voice suddenly rang in her ears. Baby? Startled, she looked up and saw Yu Yiduo holding her phone. Qiao Mu instantly understood that Yu Yiduo had seen her WeChat! Her face turned slightly red. What if someone peeped at her and her uncles words?
Yu Yiduo smiled and pretended to be ignorant, Mumu, when did you get a nickname? I didnt even know that you had the name baby and only let Li Yan call you by it. You hid it from me. Youre too insensible. Qiao Mu was speechless. Without waiting for Qiao Mu to say anything, Yu Yiduo looked at the butler. Old Chen, do you know Mumus nickname? Madam, this is obviously a pet name, replied the butler with a smile. Is that so? Yu Yiduo was surprised. She pondered for a while. Is this a message from my son? My son is very stubborn. Why would he call me by such a nickname? Mu Mu, is this a WeChat ount with the same name as Li Yan? Its not him, right? Qiao Mu blushed. Auntie, dont tease me. Yu Yiduos expression suddenly changed drastically, and she dashed in front of Qiao Mu, asking with a face full of admiration, Mumu, tell me honestly. What love secrets do you have? How did you train my son, who is such a difficult person, to be so obedient? Hurry up and teach me. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched fiercely. Why did she make it sound like she was training a pet? Auntie, I didnt do anything. I have no experience to teach you.
Hmph, youre not being honest with me, are you? Forget it, forget it. I wont make things difficult for you anymore. Look at your face. Yu Yiduo was magnanimous enough to let Qiao Mu go. In the end, she added, This is something worth showing off about, so theres nothing to be embarrassed about. Look at me, Ive been married into the Li family for decades, but Ive always been under my old mans tight control. I really envy you. Auntie, Im not as powerful as you think. Actually, Im also the one whos being controlled. What is it? Sigh, Mu Mu, so were in the same boat. The Li familys father and son are simply too despicable. Theyve been like this for generations. Dont give birth to another descendant of the Li family who will harm women in the future. Qiao Mu was speechless. What the hell is this! Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh bitterly when she saw Yu Yiduos hrious joy. Yu Yiduo apanied Qiao Mu for the entire day. In the evening, Yu Yiduo shouted for Qiao Mu to treat her to a meal as a reward, and then the two of them went to the dining room. Qiao Mu felt no pressure at all when she was with Yu Yiduo and was extremely happy.. Chapter 541 - 541: Xiaxia, Do You Like Him? Chapter 541 - 541: Xiaxia, Do You Like Him?
Trantor: 549690339 The two of them were eating for a while when a man and a woman came in from the entrance. The man held the womans hand and went straight up the stairs. Qiao Mu immediately made a call. Hello, Xiaxia, where are you?
The other party paused for a moment before replying, Im eating outside. With who? . A friend. Qiao Mu remained calm. Really? Are you feeling better? Yes, its done. Qiao Mu hung up the phone and smiled at Yu Yiduo. Auntie, I met a friend, so Im going over to say hello. Qiao Mu immediately arrived on the second floor and happened to catch the two figures entering a private room. Qiao Mu snorted, looking like she was ready to catch him in the act of adultery. Just as she was about to knock on the door, the door opened, and the person who opened the door was stunned. Mu Mu? Why are you here? Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mu, who had just called to ask where she was, in shock. If I wasnt here, I wouldnt have caught you having an affair! Qiao Mu nced at the man in the room with an ambiguous look. Young Master Su, what a coincidence. Youre here for dinner with Xiaxia?
Chi Xia looked awkward while Su Chen nodded at Qiao Mu nonchntly and said, Ill correct you. Were doing this openly. How could there be an affair? Qiao Mu nodded. Yes, yes, its fair and square. But why didnt you inform your friends when you were together openly? Su Chen said calmly, Ive already told you about my rtionship with Chi Xia. Qiao Mu looked at Chi Xia, who dragged Qiao Mu out of the room and into an empty corridor. Tell me honestly! Qiao Mu questioned. What happened?! Ever since Qiao Mu found out about Su Chen and Chi Xias rtionship over the phone, she had not seen Chi Xia. Every time she sent her a message, she would just brush it off, as if she did not want to admit that she was dating Su Chen. Qiao Mu frowned when she saw Chi Xias troubled expression. Dont tell me youreYou were forced, right? Chi Xia shook her head. No, were together now. Qiao Mu had never seen Chi Xia so conflicted and uncertain when it came to rtionships, so she asked, Xiaxia, do you like him? Chi Xia shook her head. Qiao Mu thought that she would say she didnt like it, but she only said vaguely, I dont know. Does he like you?
It should be You dont like it, right? If he doesnt like you, why would he be with you? Chi Xia felt a headacheing on. How would I know? Mu Mu, my mind is in a mess right now. Even I dont understand whats going on and I cant exin it to you. Anyway, Ill just take it one step at a time. Alright, I wont force you, but you cant let yourself be bullied. If Su Chen bullies you, tell me. Ill get Li Yan to teach him a lesson. You have to know that you have a backer. Youre not afraid of him! Qiao Mu didnt know the whole story. After all, it was someone elses rtionship, and she couldnt interfere as an outsider. She only hoped that Chi Xias new rtionship wouldnt be hurt in any way. Chi Xia felt a warmth in her heart and nodded. Dont worry, focus on thepetition. Ill be fine. Actually, Su Chen did not bully her anymore. Thest time she was sick, she stayed at his house for a day. After she got better, she left. They hadnt contacted each other for the next few days. She thought that Su Chen was just joking. She didnt expect him to suddenly appear and say that he was on a business trip! After that, they came to eat together for no reason and became lovers for no reason..

Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia returned to the private room and Su Chen looked up at her. Are you done chatting? Chi Xia nodded. As soon as she sat down, Su Chen handed her the menu.
Order. Just order. I dont know what you like to eat. Chi Xia took the menu and looked up at Su Chen after a while. The man leaned back in his seat and looked at her as if nothing had happened. Meeting his gaze, she lowered her head in panic, feeling inexplicably guilty. Qiao Mu asked her if she was forced to do so. Actually, she was forced to do it, wasnt she? What this man had done to her in the beginning made her afraid to get close to him. However, when she was sick and was taken care of by him, the estrangement in her heart was slowly diminishing. Even so, she still felt weird when she was with him. Then why was she with him? Was it because he said that being with him would make her forget Gu Cheng? Su Chen looked at the woman in front of him, his head lowered in a daze.
Woman, why are you daydreaming in front of me? What are you thinking about that you shouldnt be thinking about? I didnt! Chi Xia hurriedly lowered her head and focused on ordering. Forget it, Ill take it one step at a time. When Qiao Mu arrived downstairs, Yu Yiduo was eating. When she saw Qiao Mu, she waved at her. If you didnte back soon, I wouldve finished everything. Qiao Mu was speechless. Ms. Yu was a foodie like her. The two of them ate the delicious food. After a while, Yu Yiduo asked, Who did you see just now? Is it a man or a woman? Qiao Mu answered honestly, A man and a woman. The woman is my best friend. She andHer boyfriend is here for dinner. Oh. Yu Yiduo nodded. Since they were innocent, she didnt ask further. Was it easy for her? Her son was not around, so she, as a mother-inw, shouldered the responsibility of a detective and monitored her daughter-inws every move. However, her little Mu Mu would never do anything to let her son down!
Auntie, you said that a man and a woman dont like each other, so why are they dating? Qiao Mu asked after some thought. The premise is that both of them are serious people. Yu Yiduo raised her head and answered seriously, Its nothing. There are too many couples who get married without feelings. Do you think everyone is as lucky as you to find a man they like? Qiao Mu nodded. That was true. Actually, she was really lucky. In the beginning, she did not get together with Li Yan because of love, but they ended up together just like that. Therefore, when she found out that Chi Xia and Su Chen were together for an unknown reason, she did not try to stop them. Even if they did not have any feelings for each other, who knew if they would have feelings for each other in the end? Yu Yiduo was full. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and said lightly, Actually, when I was with Li Yans father back then, it wasnt because of feelings. Then why? Qiao Mu had always been curious about Yu Yiduo and Li Zhengs rtionship. Yu Yiduo and Qiao Jiannan had a marriage agreement back then, but it waster broken by Yu Tingyun. Then, Yu Yiduo met Li Zheng, and their rtionship was quiteplicated. Because we need each other. Yu Yiduo recalled the past. Back then, I was chased out of the Yu family by Yu Tingyun. I wandered outside and met Li Zheng, who took me in. At that time, Li Zheng was forced to get married by his family andcked a woman. At that time, I was bullied by Yu Tingyun and wanted to find a backer. He wanted to find a woman to marry to deal with his family, so we got married. Qiao Mu was stunned. Yu Yiduo and Li Zheng were so blissful that it made peoples eyes turn red. It was truly hard to imagine that their marriage was built on the basis of no feelings at all.. Chapter 543 - 543: Countdown to the Competition (1) Chapter 543 - 543: Countdown to the Competition (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Yu Yiduo added unhappily, If I didnt have to, do you think I would marry an old man whos ten years older than me? Qiao Mus lips twitched. Auntie, Li Yan and I are also ten years apart.
Yu Yiduo was stunned. Pah, pah, pah, look at what Im saying. Mumu, age isnt a problem when ites to love. Dont care about age. Dont dump my son! .. Qiao Mus face darkened. Madam Yu really made her not know whether tough or cry. And then? Qiao Mu asked curiously. Yu Yiduo said,Then, we agreed on a marriage of convenience. In the end, three months after we got married, we identally It had fallen. After that, the marriage of convenience ended. Li Yan was a little like his father, except that he had a well-behaved private life. At that time, Li Zheng had no shorings other than being domineering. I thought that since he was married, that was it. Later on, I found someone to back me up, and I finally turned over a new leaf in front of Yu Tingyun. However, Yu Tingyun hinted to Li Zheng and told him about my previous engagement with Qiao Jiannan. After that, we fell out because of some misunderstandings and almost got a divorce. However, I thought that I couldnt let Yu Tingyun achieve her goal. Later on, I realized that I had fallen in love with someone a long time ago. Am I the kind of person who doesnt dare to say that I like someone? Of course! But I had to force Li Zheng to confess to me. After Li Zhengs confession was sessful, I had to live with him for the rest of my life. Qiao Mus admiration for Yu Yiduo grew as she listened. Sure enough, one couldnt judge a book by its cover. Yu Yiduo looked rough, but he didnt expect her to be so good at rtionships. Li Zheng was such a difficult person to deal with, yet he was still taken down. Qiao Mu felt that she was the one who should be humbly asking for advice! She was the one who confessed to Li Yan first! In this aspect, she had lost! On the tenth day of Li Yans business trip, Qiao Mu finalized the design drafts and started making clothes.
After working overnight for two days, she finally managed to design all the clothes in perfect condition. Qiao Mu went to thepetition venue to prepare for thepetition. There were still two days left until thepetition. Qiao Mu was so busy that she asked Chi Xia and Baby Guan to help out. The other contestants all had a few assistants helping them out. Qiao Mu was the only one who was busy, and the two assistants beside her were still amateurs. Backstage, Amy walked in with a group of models. Amy pped her hands and said, Please stop for a moment. Ill arrange the models for you now. There are 24 models here, and each model is responsible for the costumes of two contestants. The order of appearance will be decided ording to the contestant number drawn on the day of thepetition. You have to be prepared. Dont make any mistakes during thepetition. You only have one chance topete. If you make any mistakes, youll automatically forfeit thepetition. Ning Tongtong smiled. We are all well-prepared. If we make a mistake during thepetition and cant solve it smartly, then we are not qualified to be a qualified designer. Every designer here is experienced. Thats not right. Tongtong, have you forgotten that we have an inexperienced contestant here? The person who spoke was An Ting. Amy frowned. Thats enough. Focus on thepetition! An Ting gritted her teeth and red at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu ignored him and looked at the models that were arranged for her. Their figures were all very standard, and their temperaments were also very good. She was very satisfied. She extended her hand. Hello, Im Qiao Mu..
Chapter 544 - 544: Countdown to the Competition (2) Chapter 544 - 544: Countdown to the Competition (2)
Trantor: 549690339 The beautiful model smiled and shook hands with Qiao Mu. Just call me Xuanxuan. At this moment, Ning Tongtong arrived in front of Qiao Mu and sized up Xuanxuan before smiling. Qiao Mu, your models overall qualities are pretty good. I just dont know what kind of work you can design and whether youll let such a good model down.
Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered to waste her breath on Ning Tongtong and answered, Your model is not bad either. An Ting said, Qiao Mu, I didnt expect us to use the same model. I heard that you went to the sponsor and chose a bunch of outdated fabrics. Dont tell me youre thinking of turning trash into a legend? Ning Tongtong was surprised. Oh? There was such a thing? Im really curious about the clothes you designed. Why dont you show them to us now? Qiao Mupletely ignored their obvious sarcasm. Before Qiao Mu could say anything, Baby Guan, who was behind her, could no longer hold her temper. Why should I show it to you? If you bring out your work before thepetition, were still worried that your work will be giarized! An Ting looked at Baby Guan unhappily. You seem to be here to help Qiao Mu, right? As expected of a university student. Even the helper he found is an inexperienced university student. Chi Xia smiled. Thats right. Not only do we have no experience, were not even in the fashion design major. Yo, why are you so shocked? This way, it can prove that Qiao Mus work was personally made by her, and its different from you so-called experienced designers. Perhaps your design drafts have been modified by many professionals, and we dont even know if its your own work! You What are you two amateurs doing here! Its useless to be stubborn now. On the day of thepetition, the judges will decide whose work is outstanding! An Ting choked and her expression turned ugly. Thats right! Qiao Mu raised her chin and said indifferently, The results of thepetition will prove everything, so its too early to say anything now. In order to prevent myself from pping you in the face, Senior, its better to keep a low profile for now. An Ting was so angry that her expression changed again and again. She did not expect Qiao Mu to be so sharp-tongued. Even if these people were a motley crew, they could only be arrogant now! As Qiao Mu left thepetition venue, Baby Guan was still gritting her teeth in anger. Who are yourpetitors? Theyre simply too infuriating. I really want to go up and kick her so that shell eat dog shit.
Qiao Mu was helpless. Can force solve the problem? Why are you acting like a little bandit all day? Your Lu Jingzhi didnt discipline you properly. What do you mean by my Lu Jingzhi? If you continue to spout nonsense, Ill reward you with this kick first! Qiao Mu feigned fear. Spare me, Heroine! Chi Xia couldnt help butugh. Mu Mu, even Im pissed off, let alone a baby. That Ning Tongtong is the stepdaughter of the sponsor of thepetition? Looks like shes not your only enemy. Qiao Mu didnt think much of it. After thepetition ends, Ill use my strength to shut them up. Xuanxuan, wait a minute. Xuanxuan turned around and saw Ning Tongtong. She asked in confusion, Whats the matter? This is my name card. Ning Tongtong handed her name card to Xuanxuan and said with a smile, I want to invite you to be the spokesperson for my brand. The models that thepetition arranged for the contestants were all new models who had just debuted without any achievements. It would be strange if they were unhappy to suddenly be given such a good opportunity.
Xuanxuan was pleasantly surprised. Why are you looking for me? I think your aptitude is not bad and fits my brand image very well, but At this point, Ning Tongtong felt a little awkward.. Chapter 545 - 545: Countdown to the Competition (3) Chapter 545 - 545: Countdown to the Competition (3)
Trantor: 549690339 But what? Its like this. Qiao Mu is an inexperienced student. You could also tell just now that the other contestants have a lot of opinions about her entering thepetition through the back door. You can imagine how bad the clothes she designs will be. If you show her work, the clothes she designs will ruin your pure image. The reason why I like you is because youre a neer and your image is clean and refined, so
Although Ning Tongtongs words did not provoke her, Xuanxuan immediately understood what she meant. You dont want me to show her clothes during thepetition? But I signed a contract. If I lose this opportunity, not only will I lose a chance to show off, but I wont be able to get the money for the show. Ning Tongtong smiled. Thats not a problem. As long as you agree, you can give me the money and the opportunity. Xuanxuans eyes shed as she nodded. Alright, Ill do as you say. But how? Ning Tongtongughed coldly in her heart and said softly, Juste on time on the day of thepetition. Leave the rest to me. Not far away, a tall figure stood there, looking at the scene in front of him. He casually took out his phone and took a photo. At night, Qiao Mu felt nervous, expectant, and a little disappointed. Li Yan had been on a business trip for almost half a month. She was going to have apetition tomorrow, but he was not back! Although he had gone on business trips for a month before, this was a special situation. She thought he woulde back! No matter how busy he was, how could he not participate in such an important matter! Thepetition was not closed off. Not only were there spectators, but it was also broadcasted live on the Inte. It waspletely different from the preliminary round! Qiao Mu did not call Li Yan in a fit of pique, but it was as if a certain man had disappeared. Even if he did note back, he did not call her to check on her condition!
She was so bored that she took a pen and paper to draw. After half an hour, she still did not receive a text message or a call! She drew a small figure on the paper and wrote the word bastard on the side. In the end, Qiao Mu huffed under the covers and turned off her phone. The disappointment in her heart multiplied. A certain man must have forgotten about her. Her current position was in danger! As Qiao Mu thought about it, she unknowingly fell asleep. At this moment, Li Yan was rushing to the airport after finishing thest negotiation meeting. The little thing had apetition tomorrow. How could he miss such an important event? On the way, Li Yan took out his phone to make a call, but the other partys phone was turned off! Li Yan frowned. This heartless little thing had put all her energy into thepetition. She did not even care if he went back or not? When Li Yan returned home, it was already one oclock in the morning. When he entered the room, he saw the little woman, whom he had not seen for a long time, lying on the big bed like a little frog, sleeping soundly. As expected, she did not miss him at all!
When he wasnt around, she upied the big bed alone. Her phone, pen, and paper were all ced on the nket. He really couldnt do anything about it. He walked to the bedside and sat down. He put away the pen and paper and identally saw a small figure drawn on the paper. There was an arrow next to the small figure, pointing at the word bastard. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up when he saw the painting. This little thing was angry at him because he didnt rush back. Li Yan lowered his head and kissed Qiao Mu lightly on the lips. His voice was low and carried a hint of tenderness that was rarely seen on a normal day. Baby, Im back.. Chapter 546 - 546: Countdown to the Competition (4) Chapter 546 - 546: Countdown to the Competition (4)
Trantor: 549690339 Early in the morning, Qiao Mu was woken up by her rm clock. She closed her eyes in a daze and groped for the position of the rm clock. As soon as she moved, she felt someone beside her.
He held her in his arms with one arm, and the other arm went past her to turn off the rm clock. The real feeling of being hugged in her arms made Qiao Mu sofortable that she subconsciously rubbed against his firm chest. She must be dreaming. Otherwise, why would she feel that Li Yan was right beside her? Suddenly, a voice came from above. Little thing, its time to wake up. His deep and maic voice instantly chased away Qiao Mus sleepiness. She opened her eyes abruptly and met the mans dark eyes. Qiao Mu blinked as if she couldnt believe what she was seeing. Then, she blinked again and tightened her grip on the mans waist. As if she wasnt sure yet, her small hand pinched the mans abdomen. Because the mans abdominal muscles were firm and tight, Qiao Mus actions were like teasing him, causing his body to instantly tense up. He grabbed her naughty little hand and looked at her dazed expression. He chuckled softly. Youre teasing me the moment youe back. Youve been empty for too long and cant wait to get back to me? The moment Li Yan spoke, Qiao Mus disbelief was instantly dispelled! How could this be a dream! Who else could it be but Li Yan to say such words?
Oiao Mu snorted and pursed her lips unhappily. You still know how toe back? I thought that you were seduced by that little vixen outside and had long forgotten about me! Li Yan could not help butugh out loud when he heard her sarcastic words. Qiao Mu instantly flew into a rage out of humiliation. She jumped up angrily and straddled him. She grabbed his neck with both hands and red at him. What are youughing at? Did I hit the nail on the head? Damn it! Why did this face look so devilish when it smiled? This cant do, this cant do. Qiao Mu felt that the person whose soul was seduced was her! Why did her uncle be even more handsome after not seeing him for two weeks? Could this be the legendary beauty of distance? Seeing Qiao Mus series of actions, the smile on Li Yans face did not diminish but instead deepened. He wrapped his arms around the little womans waist and pinched it gently in a teasing manner. This pinch seemed to carry an electric current, draining all the strength from Qiao Mus body. Her upper body went limp, and she fell weakly onto Li Yans body. Li Yan cupped Qiao Mus face and kissed her on the lips. Qiao Mu gently pushed him. She hadnt even settled the score with him properly, so how could he fool her with a kiss!
However, the shoving action did notst long. The mans kiss was fiery and passionate, instantly making Qiao Mu lose all resistance. After being separated for half a month, at this moment, all the emotions were brought out. All the longing had been hidden in her heart. Only when she faced each other would she reveal it without any concealment. However, in this position, with her on top, it was as if she was taking the initiative. Qiao Mu moved lightly and identally touched a certain part of the mans body. Her entire body instantly burned. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. He stopped her from moving away and did not hide his longing for her at all. His low and hoarse voice carried a flirtatious smile. Do you think your mans reaction is like he was seduced by a vixen outside? This big hooligan! Qiao Mus face was red as she slowly rubbed herself against his body. Im going to get up.. Chapter 547 - 547: Don’t Know How to Depend on Him (1) Chapter 547 - 547: Dont Know How to Depend on Him (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Before Qiao Mu could get up and escape from his body, she was pressed down by tworge hands and sat back on his body. Why, dont you want to verify it yourself?
Uncle! Qiao Mu red at him in embarrassment and anger. I have apetitionter! Its still early. Im worried that if I dont dispel your doubts about me, you wont be able to y well in the game. Qiao Mu was speechless. In the next moment, the man kissed her lips again. His kiss made her unable to resist. Just as she was in a daze from being kissed, she heard the mans low and hoarse voice, sucking her lips. Baby, I miss you. Baby, I miss you A simple sentence of love instantly made Qiao Mu surrender. How did this man be so glib? When he spoke sweet nothings, she was caught off guard and directly hit her heart. How could she reject him when he had already said so much? Moreover, she also wanted to have him in her heart! And thenThey remained in this position until the end.
It was simply too embarrassing! There was a saying that a short absence made the heart grow fonder. Every time she was separated from him for a period of time, he would be a wild beast that lost control. No, he was also a beast normally. He was just a little rational. Downstairs, Yu Yiduo rushed into the living room. Seeing that there was no one in the living room, she asked the housekeeper, Mu Mu still hasnt woken up? Madam, Young Master came backst night. The butler nodded. Yu Yiduos face instantly had a hint of an ambiguous smile as she strode upstairs. Her son had no sense of propriety. Although she was supportive of her son and daughter-inws harmonious private life, today was an important day for Mu Mu. Why did he not know what was important! Yu Yiduo walked out of the bedroom and knocked on the door. She raised her voice and shouted, Mumu, its time to get up and eat. Dont dy thepetition. At this moment, Qiao Mu was lying weakly on Li Yans chest. She clearly did not exert any strength at all, and it was a certain man who had been attacking her, but why was she still so exhausted! The mansrge hand caressed her back. It was sofortable that she did not want to move at all. She really wanted to lie down like this and go back to sleep. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Yu Yiduos voice.
Qiao Mus body stiffened, and she quickly straightened up. She red at Li Yan. Its all your fault. Auntie is here! Li Yan felt helpless. You were the one who was so enthusiastic about testing whether my body was loyal to you. Now, youre the one whosining? Qiao Mu was speechless. This bastard! Outside the door, Yu Yiduos voice sounded again, Eh, why do I hear voices in the room? Mumu, who are you with? Im going in. Qiao Mus face paled, and she shouted, Dont . Just as she opened her mouth, she saw the door handle twisting. She froze instantly and buried her head into Li Yans arms, pulling the nket over her body. Her naked body squirmed in his arms, causing the mes that had just subsided in Li Yans body to instantly ignite again. Damn it, there was amotion somewhere again. After being a vegetarian for so long, how could he be satisfied just once? If it wasnt for the fact that he didnt have enough time, how could he let her off so easily? Qiao Mu saw that he was acting as if he didnt care, so she lowered her voice and asked anxiously, What should we do? Auntie ising in. Doesnt she know that youre back? Li Yan was helpless. He spoke to calm her down. The door is locked.. Chapter 548 - 548: Don’t Know How to Depend on Him (2) Chapter 548 - 548: Dont Know How to Depend on Him (2)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Damn it, why didnt he say so earlier? He scared her! Go wash up. Li Yan patted her back.
Qiao Mu shielded her chest with her hands and flipped off the bed. As the exercise just now had made her legs sore, her feet had justnded on the ground, and she was not used to it in a short time. Her legs went soft and she almost fell. Li Yan smiled and supported her. Little thing, youre getting weaker and weaker. I havent done anything to you yet. It seems like you really wont be able to get out of bed tonight. Hooligan! Qiao Mus face was flushed red, and her eyes were filled with shame and anger. She kicked Li Yan hard and ran into the bathroom as if she was escaping. Li Yan smiled and shook his head. He heard Yu Yiduo talking to herself outside the door, Eh, why is the door locked? Mumu, are you doing something bad in the house? Li Yan put on his sleeping robe and opened the door. Yu Yiduo was pressing her ear against the door, eavesdropping on the conversation in the room. However, the soundproofing in the room was excellent, so she couldnt hear anything. Suddenly, the door opened from the inside. She threw herself forward and finally steadied herself. She saw Li Yan standing in the room. Yu Yiduo pretended to be surprised. Son, when did youe back? Why didnt you tell me? Old Chen, why didnt you tell me that you were back? Li Yans expression was calm as he looked down at Yu Yiduo. Mom, is eavesdropping on your son and daughter-inws private matters something an elder should do? Son, youve wronged Mom. You didnt tell me that youre back. I thought that
Mu Mu was alone in the room and that the conversation was very strange, so As she spoke, Yu Yiduo stood on her tiptoes and looked around the room. The messy bed was enough to exin everything. Sighing heavily, Yu Yiduo patted Li Yans shoulder. Son, take it easy. Dont forget that Mu Mu still has important matters to attend to today. Li Yan was speechless. After Qiao Mu washed up and tidied up everything, she went downstairs. She finished her breakfast under Yu Yiduos sympathetic and ambiguous gaze, then left for thepetition venue. Before they left, Yu Yiduo stopped Li Yan and whispered, Son, Mumu has been bullied a lot while you were away. You cant let Mumu be bullied for nothing. Li Yan frowned. Qiao Mu did not tell him anything. Li Yans eyes darkened as he watched the little woman happily get into the car. This little thing really did not know how to rely on him at all! On the way, Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu and asked, How are the preparations for thepetition going? Are you confident? Is there a need to say? I only have this one specialty. If I dont do it well, it will damage my profession! Qiao Mu grinned. Li Yan raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head. Did you encounter any trouble?
Qiao Mu shook her head, then nodded. Theres indeed a little trouble, but its nothing to me. I never thought that this oath would be smooth sailing. so just treat it as a test for me. Why didnt you tell me? Did you treat your man as a decoration? No! Uncle, you have to believe me. I can solve it myself! Li Yan was helpless. This little thing liked to put on a brave front. He knew that she was used to being alone all these years. She would solve everything by herself and did not like to rely on others, let alone when it came to fashion design, which she was proud of. He smiled faintly. Im waiting to see your performance. Qiao Mu nodded heavily. Uncle, during thepetition, you have to sit in a conspicuous position so that I can see you at a nce. That way, I wont be so nervous. Alright.. Chapter 549 - 549: Step by Step During the Competition (1) Chapter 549 - 549: Step by Step During the Competition (1)
Trantor: 549690339 After Qiao Mus figure disappeared into the building, Li Yan retracted his gaze and took out his phone to call Lei Yi. Get the sponsorship rights for the fashion designpetition. I want to be the sole sponsor and get Shu Xinyuspany to withdraw from thepetition. Yes, Young Master. Lei Yi paused for a moment before saying, Do you need me to inform the judging panel and let Miss Qiao
Li Yan snorted coldly. Why? Do you think that she wont be able to enter the finals if we dont greet her? The mans tone was full of protection. Lei Yi immediately became cautious. Young Master, I was overthinking. Did this man have to protect his little nephew like this? What youre thinking is not unnecessary, Li Yan said calmly. I dont want anyone to advance through connections in thispetition. It has to be fair! Yes, sir! Qiao Mu entered the backstage of thepetition and ced her work in the wardrobe. After a while, Chi Xia and Guan Baobei rushed over to help. The model Xuanxuan came over to try on some clothes, and Guan Baobei took out some clothes from the wardrobe to let Xuanxuan try them on. Xuanxuan changed her clothes and walked out of the changing room. Baby Guan was pleasantly surprised. Mu Mu, youre amazing. The clothes look simple, but they look really beautiful on you. Chi Xia nodded. Dark green is too beautiful. Xuanxuans temperament is just right. She looks so good in a casual style.
Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh after being scratched by her two picky friends. Since she had a different warehouse than other designers, it was a blessing in disguise. Most of the other designers clothes were bright and could only be worn with high heels. She, on the other hand, preferred a darker color. This color was very suitable for autumn and winter. It could be worn in both high heels and casual shoes. It was both casual and fashionable. Perhaps older women didnt like this old-fashioned color, but she had discussed it with Yu Yiduo, so it was not a problem to satisfy the preferences of women of all ages! Xuanxuan spun around in front of the mirror. Why do I feel like my slim and sexy figure cant be seen when Im wearing it? Chi Xia rolled her eyes. Sister, if you want to show off your sexiness, you can wear a swimsuit. This is a fashion show. Xuanxuans expression was ugly. She turned around and walked towards the changing room. Im done trying. Ill change out then. Ill go out and get some fresh air. There are still a few pieces I havent tried! Baby Guan shouted. It doesnt matter if you try it or not. If it doesnt fit now, can you change the size again? I still have to go to another contestant. Xuanxuan changed her clothes and left. Baby Guan frowned. What kind of attitude is this?! Isnt she just a small model? How dare she throw a tantrum at Mumu! Chi Xia consoled her, Forget it, dont cause trouble. When Mu Mus design bes popr, she should be d that she was the model for it.
Qiao Mu smiled helplessly. Youre right. Dont bother with others and do your own thing. Xuanxuan walked out of the backstage and saw Ning Tongtong at the end of the corridor. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she followed her. At the entrance of the corridor, Ning Tongtong handed a pill to Xuanxuan. Take this. Youll have diarrheater. Just say that you ate something bad and cant go on stage. Everything will be fine then. Then what you promised me? Dont worry, Ill do as I say! Xuanxuan nodded, took the medicine, and put it into her mouth. Seeing Xuanxuan swallow the medicine, Ning Tongtong smiled triumphantly. Now, lets see what Qiao Mu will do! Chapter 550 - 550: Step by Step During the Competition (2) Chapter 550 - 550: Step by Step During the Competition (2)
Trantor: 549690339 The contestants began to choose their number, and Qiao Mu was number nine. Qiao Mu was in the middle of ironing her clothes when Xuanxuan suddenly rushed in with a pale face. Qiao Mu, I have a stomachache. I might not be able to go on stage.
Qiao Mus expression changed. Why would you suddenly have a stomachache? Can you take some diarrhea medicine and hold on for a while? No, I was about to copse just now Xuanxuan hugged her stomach. Before she could finish her sentence, she rushed out. Im going to the washroom again. Well talkter. Baby Guan frowned. Why is it that she doesnt care about the time? Thepetition is about to start, but shes doing this. What should we do without any models? Qiao Mu panicked and paced back and forth. Ill go to the person-in-charge and see if we can arrange a new model. Before Qiao Mu could walk out, a figure suddenly rushed in. Immediately after, An Tings furious voice rang out, Qiao Mu, its fine if you dont want topete, but you still want to drag me down with you. Youre simply too sinister! Qiao Mus expression darkened. What do you mean? What do you think I mean? Xuanxuan said that she drank a ss of water at your ce and then had diarrhea. How could there be such a coincidence? I saw that you were too embarrassed to show your work to others, so you used this method to forfeit thepetition to save your face. Im really unlucky to use the same model as you! Antinz. thats enough! Now that the model is in trouble. voure anxious. but Im not? If you have the time to cause trouble here, you might as well think of a way to solve it! Qiao Mu was about to leave when An Ting stopped her. Stop pretending. Amy said before thepetition that if you make a mistake during thepetition and cant solve it yourself, its the same as giving up thepetition. Theres no model left, so how do you want to solve it? Qiao Mu didnt know what to do for a moment. Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from the door, and when she looked up, she saw Keys tall figure walking in.
Key nced at everyone. Why is it so noisy here? The match is about to start. What are you guys doing? Teacher Key, you came at the right time. Qiao Mu deliberately made the model have diarrhea so that the model couldnt go on stage and walk the runway. Ive been implicated as well! An Ting immediatelyined. I didnt! Qiao Mu said coldly and looked straight at Key. Teacher Key, can you arrange another model for me? Keys eyes were cold. Do you think thispetition is just for you? Every designer has to have the ability to deal with emergencies at thest minute. If you cant solve it, then withdraw from thepetition. Key said and turned to leave. Amy followed behind him and asked uncertainly,Key, are you really not going to help Qiao Mu? Dont you admire her talent? Its a pity that such a yer forfeited thepetition because of such a thing. If she cant even solve such a small matter, then she really needs to cultivate properly. Key paused for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. But you didnt see her eyes just now. Its obvious that she doesnt intend to give up. Lets just wait and see. After Key left, An Tings expression turned ugly. She red at the assistant behind her. Hurry up and contact a model for me! Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly. She thought that all her troubles would be resolved at this point, but who would have thought that she would suddenly encounter such a thing! Chi Xia stepped forward. Mu Mu, what should we do? Chi Xias words immediately drew Qiao Mus attention to her. She then looked at Baby Guan and sized up the two of them. Finally, her gazended on Baby
Guan. Baby, youre taller. You can do it.. Chapter 551 - 551: Step by Step During the Competition (3) Chapter 551 - 551: Step by Step During the Competition (3)
Trantor: 549690339 Baby Guan widened her eyes and waved her hand. Are you kidding me? I dont have any experience! Its okay. Just walk around the stage ande down. Among the three of us, youre the tallest. It can only be you. Help me. Qiao Mu gripped Baby Guans hand tightly.
But if Im a model, I might not be able to show the perfection of your clothes. Thats still better than having no models, Chi Xia said. If there are no models, we can only forfeit thepetition! Baby, please help Mumu. At this moment, a gloating voice came from the door. Yo, Qiao Mu, youre really in a mess. You pulled ayman to be your model at thest minute. Looks like youre desperate! Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtong coldly. Thepetition is about to start, and Miss Ning still has the mood to care about other peoples matters? I just heard that something happened to your model and wanted to ask what happened. Ning Tongtong paused and looked at Xuanxuan, who had rushed back. Speak of the devil. Why has Xuanxuan be so weak? Xuanxuan sat on the sofa and hugged her stomach. After a while, her face was pale and haggard. She did look like she had serious diarrhea. Since Xuanxuan could no longer use it, Qiao Mu seized the time to let Baby Guan try on the clothes. Ning Tongtong stood at the door and did not leave. She wanted to see what kind of clothes Qiao Mu would design for the semi-finals, but she knew without thinking that it would not be any better. If she could make any decent clothes with those discarded fabrics, she would be a genius. HoweverWhen Baby Guan came out of the changing room, Ning Tongtong frowned and her eyes shed with crazy jealousy. How was this possible? He had clearly asked her to choose a pile of fabric from the abandoned warehouse, but the clothes she had designed were just right! Ning Tongtong bit her lip viciously and poured a ss of water for Xuanxuan. She said with concern, Xuanxuan, look at how weak you are. Drink some water.
Xuanxuan thanked her and took the cup. Ning Tongtong pressed her finger hard and gave her a look. Actually, Xuanxuan had already sensed that Ning Tongtong was deliberately targeting Qiao Mu. She did not want Qiao Mu to sessfullypete while she became a chess piece to be used. However, in order to get Ning Tongtongs brand endorsement, she had alreadye this far. There was no need to do anything else! Xuanxuan took a sip of water and watched Baby Guan change her clothes. She hung the clothes on the hanger and went to try on another piece of clothing. Xuanxuan stood up weakly. She identally sprained her foot and knocked into the clothes rack. The clothes rack fell to the ground and the water from the cup spilled all over her clothes. Ah! Xuanxuan screamed and quickly went to pick up the clothes. However, the clothes were hooked by the hanger. She pulled hard and the thread was hooked. Qiao Mus expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward, but it was already toote. Qiao Mu angrily grabbed Xuanxuans wrist, which was still tugging at her clothes, and her voice turned gloomy. Let go of your hand! Xuanxuan panicked and fell onto the sofa. Qiao Mu, I didnt do it on purpose, 1 Qiao Mu took a deep breath and looked at her deformed clothes with a cold gaze. Xuanxuan, I didnt offend you, so why did you harm me like this? I didnt Xuanxuan shook her head innocently.
At this moment, when they heard the noise, the other contestants and models came over to watch the show. Ning Tongtong looked regretful. Qiao Mu, it seems like youre not suited for this ce. When the model gets into troubleter, I was just about to find someone to handle thepetition, but now that the entry is ruined, I think you should just give up on thepetition.. Chapter 552 - 552: Step by Step During the Competition (4) Chapter 552 - 552: Step by Step During the Competition (4)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu had been by Qiao Ya and Yu Tingyuns side since she was young, so she had long been trained to remain calm and collected when dealing with people and things. She would endure as much as she could and would not be easily angered. However, she really couldnt tolerate Ning Tongtong anymore!
Xuanxuan suddenly had diarrhea for an unknown reason, but she clearly saw Ning Tongtong pass Xuanxuan a ss of water, and then the ss of water spilled on herpetition piece. She was not a fool. She did not think that Ning Tongtong would be so kind as to care about Xuanxuans health at this time, nor did she think that everything was just a coincidence! Qiao Mu threw the deformed clothes in her hands onto the ground and strode toward Ning Tongtong, a cold glint shing in her eyes. Ning Tongtong, Im telling you clearly that Ill definitely finish this match smoothly! Ning Tongtong sneered and looked at the other contestants. Look at her, what nonsense is she talking about? The contestants works have already be mopping cloth, and you still have the cheek topete? You dont feel ashamed, but we do. Qiao Mu smiled coldly. Sorry, I forgot to mention that I made two copies of all the participating works just in case. Ning Tongtong was stunned. She gritted her teeth. Even if there are entries, where are your models? The design of the clothes is not good to begin with. If you find a model who doesnt know how to express the style of the clothes, Ill really worry for you. At this moment, a tall figure walked over. Qiao Mu, if you dont mind, I can be your model. When Qiao Mu saw the person who came, regardless of her temperament or appearance, she was above Xuanxuan. She was aplete beauty. This model looked familiar, but she didnt know which contestants model it was. Ning Tongtongs expression changed when she saw who it was. Ye Nuan, youre my model. You dont have the right to choose your contestants at will! Qiao Mu was stunned. She did not expect the other party to be Ning Tongtongs model. Ye Nuan crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled coldly. Miss Ning, youve misunderstood. What I meant was that in addition to being your model, I can also be Qiao Mus model. Theres no rule in thepetition that a person cant be a model for three contestants. At this moment, Ning Tongtongs expression was extremely ugly.
Ye Nuan looked at Qiao Mu. Dont worry, if you use me as a model, theres no possibility that Ill fall sick and cant go on stage. If I cant go on stage, wouldnt Miss Ning have to forfeit thepetition as well? What do you mean? You make it sound like Qiao Mus ident has something to do with me! Ning Tongtong said angrily. Miss Ning, youre too sensitive. Seeing Ye Nuan provoke Ning Tongtong, Qiao Mu instantly had a good impression of this girl. She nodded gratefully. Thank you for your help. Ye Nuan waved her hand. Youre wee. I just dont like people using underhanded methods. After the modeling issue was settled, Baby Guan finally did not need to go on stage anymore. She heaved a sigh of relief. Qiao Mu took her phone and dialed Li Yans number in the corridor. When she heard a deep and pleasant voiceing from the other end of the line, she suddenly felt like crying. She said softly, Uncle, Im in trouble. Li Yans expression darkened when he heard this. If this little woman had not encountered something that she could not solve, she would not have told him. She had never relied on him in thispetition. She wanted to rely on her own ability to solve all the problems on her own. Li Yan lowered his voice and said gently, What happened? Tell me slowly..
Chapter 553 - 553: Step by Step During the Competition (5) Chapter 553 - 553: Step by Step During the Competition (5)
Trantor: 549690339 My entry was destroyed by someone, and I still have a copy at home. Can you get someone to send it over for me? I only have half an hour. Although she was full of confidence in front of Ning Tongtong, she knew that time was tight. Alright. Li Yanforted her softly, Dont worry. Trust me. Ill send it to you in 20 minutes.
It would take more than 20 minutes to drive from the Li familys vi to thepetition venue without traffic jam. It was obviously impossible to send it over in 20 minutes. However, Qiao Mupletely believed it when it came from the mans mouth. As long as he could say it, he would definitely be able to do it! Li Yan put down the phone and looked at Lei Yi, who was watching the car in front of him. He said coldly, Arrange for a helicopter. In 20 minutes, go back to the vi to get some clothes and send them to thepetition venue. Lei Yi was stunned. From the rearview mirror, he saw the mans cold expression. He did not dare to dy for a second and immediately did as he was told. Lei Yi was extremely efficient. With a phone call, he arranged for his subordinates to do it. The car stopped outside thepetition building and Lei Yi said, Young Master, were here. The match will start in a few minutes. In order to watch this match, Young Master Li had put down a pile of work. Indeed, Qiao Mus matter was the most important. He was once a workaholic and careerist, but now, he had transformed into a true wife-loving maniac! The match had yet to start, but the three men sitting in the first row in a conspicuous position suddenly became the focus of the entire venue. Such apetition could actually invite the three young masters of the capital to appear at the same time.
Ling Xi sat on the chair with his legs crossed and said in boredom, Where is Big Brother? Hes always thest to arrive. Its a waste of time to call us here to watch such a boring game. As soon as Ling Xi finished speaking, a tall figure sat down beside him. Then, he heard the mans cold voice,lf you think its a waste of time, then go abroad to deal with things that arent boring. Ling Xi was speechless. Did Big Brother have to appear and disappear so mysteriously? He was too punctual. Thepetition had just started and he had already appeared! Thepetition began. The host exined the rules of thepetition and introduced the judges. There were a total of five judges. Three of them were professional judges in the fashion design world, and the other two were Key and Shu Xinyu. Li Yans gaze fell on Key and his eyes narrowed. This was the little womans idol? Li Yan felt ufortable when he thought of his little woman staring at this man with sparkling eyes. As if sensing Li Yans gaze, Key turned to look at Li Yan and nodded slightly. However, Li Yan looked away coldly the next second. Shu Xinyu, who was sitting in the judging panel, was slightly surprised to see Li Yan. She did not expect Li Yan to be interested in the fashion design exhibition. If Tongtong performed well in thispetition, she would definitely be noticed by Li Yan.
Thepetition officially began, and the models took turns to wear their costumes. Backstage, Qiao Mu anxiously waited for the clothes to arrive. She could not go to the front desk, so she could only capture the audiences figures on the LCD screen. The cameranded on the first row of seats. Under the camera, Li Yan sat there leisurely, unable to hide his noble and extraordinary aura. In an instant, his anxious and uneasy mood calmed down. At this moment, her phone rang. Miss Qiao, Young Master Li asked me to bring you some clothes. Im at the back door. Pleasee and get them. Qiao Mu was pleasantly surprised.. Sure enough, it was delivered within 20 minutes! Chapter 554 - 554: Ning Tongtong Is the Little T Chapter 554 - 554: Ning Tongtong Is the Little T
Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia watched as Qiao Mu brought the clothes back and smiled, Your husband is really efficient. With Young Master Li around, all difficulties are not worth mentioning. It was rare for Qiao Mu not to fight back tsundere, and her heart felt warm. It was only at critical moments that one could tell whether a man was worth relying on!
She took out her phone and sent a message to Li Yan. Uncle, thank you. I really love you so much! After Qiao Mu sent the message, the camera happened tond on the audience seats. Li Yan was seen looking down at his phone with a faint smile on his lips. Immediately after, Qiao Mu received a reply and blushed when she saw a line of words. If you want to thank me, show it with your actions. This man was always so indecent! Looking at the big screen, Baby Guan snorted. Seriously, why is Lu Jingzhi here too? Hes so focused on the models. He must be staring at those beautiful girls! What kind of clothes are they? Half of them are exposed. The clothes designed by Mu Mu are more reliable. Baby Guan was right. Most of the other contestants were wearing sexy and revealing clothes. They either had a big V on their chest or were wearing translucent clothes that were faintly visible. Even though it was fashionable and branded, it was not practical. Inparison, the clothes designed by Qiao Mu were more down-to-earth. The first item that Ye Nuan disyed was Qiao Mus clothes. She changed into Ning Tongtongs clothes after she got off the stage and continued onstage. Qiao Mu was stunned when she saw the clothes Ye Nuan was wearing. The design of this dress was extremely familiar. Although there were many changes to the details, it was almost identical to the design that she had personally designed! Qiao Mu suddenly felt that something was amiss. Ning TongtongTong, Little
T! Could it be that Ning Tongtong was the little T? At this moment, Ning Tongtong walked over and said provocatively, Qiao Mu, look at the catwalk. Your clothes are the most outdated. You should know the rules of thepetition. The contestants are divided into eight groups of six people each. Only one person from each group can enter the finals. The two of us happen to be in the same group, so you dont have a chance to advance. Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Its a little too early to say that now. Youre really stubborn. Lets wait and see. Ning Tongtong said and turned to leave. Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtongs back and called out, Little T? Ning Tongtong stopped in her tracks, and her expression instantly changed. She turned to look at Qiao Mu with a puzzled expression. Little T? Who are you calling? Calling you. Qiao Mus tone was firm. Ning Tongtong, youre the little T. What nonsense is this? I think youre about to lose and are starting to talk nonsense. I cant be bothered to talk nonsense with you. Ning Tongtong waved her hand and left. Mu Mu, what does Little T mean? Chi Xia asked in confusion. I suspect that the person who has been buying my drafts all this time is Ning Tongtong. Chi Xia was shocked. It cant be such a coincidence, right? She giarized you and is still so arrogant in front of you. Hurry up and expose her! Qiao Mu shook her head. Lets wait until thepetition is over. Im not sure if its her right now. After all, I sold the draft to her willingly.
If Ning Tongtong was the little T, then Ning Tongtongs Tong brand Qiao Mu took out her phone and searched for Ning Tongtongs brands. When she saw a series of spring clothing designers, the doubts in her heart werepletely confirmed. As expected, Ning Tongtong was the little T! Qiao Mu never expected to encounter the clothes she designed in such a manner. She actually didnt know that all the designs she had sold had been sold as branded clothing! Chapter 555 - 555: Uncle’s Encouragement:you l re the best Chapter 555 - 555: Uncles Encouragement:you l re the best
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu didnt have the energy to think too much about it. Next, it was the segment where the contestants brought their models along. This was thest segment. After that, they would wait for the judges to give their marks.
Qiao Mu put on the clothes she had personally designed and waited to step onto the runway. She instantly became nervous. The runway was filled with people, and more than ten cameras were filming. A long time ago, when Qiao Mu saw a runway show on television, she especially admired the scene where the designer appeared at the end. Although many of the designers were not as beautiful as the models, every designer had a confident smile on their faces. That charm was emitted from the bottom of their hearts because the clothes on the models behind them were all designed by them. How could he not be proud? Chi Xia could tell that Qiao Mu was pretending to be calm despite her nervousness. She held her hand and said, Mu Mu, dont be nervous. Take a deep breath. Youll definitely seed! Qiao Mu consoled herself. Mm, Im not nervous, not nervous! Just as Chi Xia was about to say something, she looked up and saw a tall figure approaching. She walked away silently. Qiao Mus gaze was fixed on the first group of contestants on the screen. Every contestant was an experienced designer, so she couldnt tell that they were nervous at all. It was only at this moment that she realized that she really had no experience. She grabbed Chi Xia s hand and was about to speak when she felt something was wrong. Why did Xiaxias hand suddenly be bigger?
She turned her head and saw the mans familiar face. Qiao Mu was stunned. She looked around at the empty room and eximed, Uncle, why did you sneak into the backstage of the yers? Li Yan held Qiao Mus small hand with hisrge hand. Dont worry, no one saw us. Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she heard the mans low voice. Are you nervous? No! Qiao Mu subconsciously denied it, not wanting to reveal her thoughts. Li Yan smiled and teased her when he saw her trying to be brave. Be good. If you perform wellter, Ill reward you when we get back tonight. Reward me with what? Qiao Mus eyes lit up. He must have brought her a gift after returning from his business trip for so long, but he was in a hurry this morning and didnt have time to give it to her? However, the next second, Li Yans lips curled up and he said in a flirtatious tone, As a reward, Ill let you exercise before you sleep and change your position a few more times. Qiao Mu was speechless. Was this really not a punishment? Qiao Mus face flushed red as she red at him with her big eyes. She was both angry and embarrassed. He was still making such a dirty joke with her at a time like this! At this moment, Chi Xia reminded them that the second group of contestants was about to start.
Just as Qiao Mu was about to leave, a strong arm suddenly hooked around her waist. Immediately after, she heard the mans deep voice slowly ringing in her ears.Girl, you are the best. Girl, youre the best All this while, Li Yan had never praised her easily. Every time she wanted to be praised, she would beat around the bush and beg him to praise her. However, in the end, she was always hit by the man. Sometimes, she really hated this mans venomous tongue! However, his sudden words of encouragement and praise made Qiao Mu instantly feel as if her heart was bursting with joy. Qiao Mu left the room lightly and headed to the waiting room with Chi Xia. Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mu. Your status is indeed different. Young Master Lis words of encouragement immediately changed your attitude. Qiao Mu smiled without saying a word. That was only natural! Chi Xias gaze became ambiguous.. However, the way your man rewarded you is really Unique! Chapter 556 - 556: Accused of Plundering (1) Chapter 556 - 556: used of Plundering (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was speechless. Mu Mu, you really have hidden your abilities. I cant even tell that you have so many requests.
. Chi Xia, you were eavesdropping on us! I really dont want to hear it. Who asked you to talk to me? After being tormented like this, Qiao Mu was no longer nervous. She stepped onto the catwalk and saw that Li Yan had already returned to his seat and sat down. Then, he lifted his feet and walked forward. The man she loved the most, the idol she admired the most, and her best friend were all looking at her. At this moment, no matter what the oue was, she was satisfied. The second group of catwalks ended, and the six contestants stood on the runway waiting to be graded. First was the first contestants score. The five judges scores were:7 points, 8 points, 8 points. 5 points, 8 points, 7 points. Out of a full score of 50, the contestant got 38. 5 points. The second contestant had a total score of 43. 5 points. Third contestant, 40 points. The fourth contestant, 37 points.
The fifth contestant was Ning Tongtong with a total score of 44. 5 points. Among them, Key gave 8 points and Shu Xinyu gave 9 points. 5 points. This score was already the highest score present. When the host announced the score, Ning Tongtongs face immediately revealed a brilliant smile. Ning Tongtong raised her chin slightly and looked at Qiao Mu, her gaze seemingly saying, Youve already lost. Qiao Mu stood there without batting an eyelid. Shu Xinyu was truly generous with the points she gave Ning Tongtong. She was even higher than the other contestants. When it was Qiao Mus turn, the first three judges gave her 9 points at the same time, and the KEY gave her -9- 5 points! Qiao Mus eyes widened in surprise. This score showed that she was recognized by the Key! Keysment immediately caused amotion. The host said in surprise,This is the highest score that Key has given so far, 9- 5 points. It seems like Key is very satisfied with contestant Qiao Mus work. Ning Tongtongs expression instantly turned ugly. Key gave her 8 points, but gave Qiao Mu 9. 5 points! This was simply a great humiliation to her!
The key point was Shu Xinyus score. Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mu and said, Before the grading, I want to ask Qiao Mu a question. I want to know what your first design concept is. The first work referred to the registered work. Qiao Mu replied, This piece of work has always been the technique Im best at. I didnt think too much before I started writing. I just designed this piece of clothing ording to my own preferences. I also think that you cant think too much because you giarized this dress! Qiao Mus expression changed upon hearing this. Without waiting for her to speak, Shu Xinyu continued, The biggest taboo in this industry is giarism. Why did he still favor this yer and give 9? A high score like 5 points? Key raised his brows lightly. Thats too arbitrary. If you look closely, you can tell that Qiao Mus work is better than Ning Tongtongs. Why are you so sure that Qiao Mu giarized? Shu Xinyus expression turned cold. Key, Ning Tongtongs brand has been on the market for half a year. We know who giarized who! There was a heated discussion below the stage. Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly. It was clearly a work that she had designed personally, yet Ning Tongtong had used her work to participate in thepetition, yet in the end, she had giarized it! Shu Xinyu gave a score. I will definitely not indulge in such behavior. Therefore, the score I give is -o points! The moment Shu Xinyu gave her score, Qiao Mu saw the corners of Ning Tongtongs lips curl up smugly.. Chapter 557 - 557: Accused of Plundering (2) Chapter 557 - 557: used of Plundering (2)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus face paled. If it was a fairpetition, she would have beenpletely convinced that she had lost to Ning Tongtong. However, she had been used of giarism! How could Qiao Mu allow herself to be bullied?
She took a step forward and looked straight at Shu Xinyu. As a judge, arent you afraid that others will say that youre biased towards your daughter by doing this? Even if my work is simr to Ning Tongtongs, and the matter hasnt been investigated clearly, if Im a suspect, Ning Tongtong is also a suspect. We should all get o points! Shu Xinyus face was cold. Im a judge. Do I need you to teach me what to do? Although Qiao Mu was confident, she could not casually reveal the truth. Even if she did, others would not believe her and could only suffer in silence. This Shu Xinyu was really apetent stepmother. She was so protective of her daughter! Below the stage, Li Yans face was gloomy, and the surrounding temperature dropped abruptly. Ling Xi sat beside Li Yan, feeling ufortable from the cold. He asked tentatively, Big Brother, Sister-inw is being bullied. Arent you going to help her? Li Yan swept a cold nce at Ling Xi. Do you want everyone to think that Qiao Mu is participating in thepetition because of me? Ling Xi was stunned. Li Yan had always been swift and decisive. He did whatever he wanted and did it based on his own thoughts, never caring about the consequences. However, he was clearly angry now, yet he was suppressing his anger for Qiao Mus sake. At this moment, Li Yan took out his phone and dialed Lei Yis number
There was a halftime break. Backstage, Qiao Mu rushed to Key and immediately defended herself. Mr. Key, I didnt giarize! Key raised an eyebrow when he saw Qiao Mus nervous expression. So, its a coincidence? Its not a coincidence! Qiao Mu clenched her fists. Ning Tongtong giarized my work. Do you believe me? Her words were affirmation, not just suspicion. Key did not expect this. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. Her big eyes were staring at him, and her ck eyes were clear. Key sat on the sofa and said slowly, If you want me to believe you, you should give me an exnation. Qiao Mu lowered her head and confessed that she was selling her design drafts. I only just found out that Ning Tongtong was the one who bought my design drafts. I was the one who designed her registered work, but she made some slight changes to it. Keys expression turned cold. Qiao Mu, youre the one who doesnt respect your own work. You asked for this situation. I know I was wrong, Teacher Key, please Suddenly, the lounge door opened, and Shu Xinyu walked in. When she saw Key and Qiao Mu alone in the room, her lips curled up coldly. Key, Qiao Mu has openly submitted a giarized work to thepetition. The original author wants to sue her for giarism! You wont stop me, will you?
Key smiled faintly. President Shu, what does this have to do with me? You should ask Ning Tongtong herself if she would stop it. Qiao Mu stood at the side without batting an eyelid. She wanted to see what Ning Tongtong would do. Ning Tongtong stepped forward and held Shu Xinyus arm, her tone gentle. Mom, forget it. Qiao Mu has already been eliminated anyway. She should have learned her lesson this time, so lets not pursue this matter. Shu Xinyu felt helpless. Youre just too kind. Too kind? Qiao Mu seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world as she sneered.. Ning Tongtong, when did you be so kind-hearted? Or are you feeling guilty? Chapter 558 - 558: Accused of Plundering (3) Chapter 558 - 558: used of Plundering (3)
Trantor: 549690339 Ning Tongtong frowned. Qiao Mu, why are you like this? Im speaking up for you! Are you speaking up for me or yourself? You know very well who giarized who!
An Ting, who was watching from the side, couldnt help butugh out loud. Qiao Mu, you really dare to boast. Could it be that Tongtong giarized you? I knew it. How could your work be so outstanding? So youre an expert at giarism! Qiao Mu looked over coldly. Shut up! You have no right to speak here! You An Ting was furious. Ning Tongtong snorted coldly. Qiao Mu, why are you so ungrateful?! Looking at Ning Tongtongs hypocritical expression, Qiao Mu naturally understood that it was absolutely impossible for her to admit to giarism! Ning Tongtong was even more scheming than she had imagined. Looking at Shu Xinyus expression, she seemed to bepletely clueless. She had probably always thought that Ning Tongtong, this stepdaughter, was kind and capable! Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mus cold eyes with disdain. Tongtong, you cant be lenient toward such a person! If we dont teach her a lesson this time, shell take advantage of the loophole next time! How could Ning Tongtong be willing to expand this matter? If things got out of hand, it wouldnt do her any good! If it ended in time, not only would Qiao Mu bear the name of giarism, but she would also gain more attention in thepetition. It would only benefit her, and no matter how Qiao Mu quibbled, it would be useless. If they really wanted to sue Qiao Mu for giarism, then the matter would blow up and the truth would be exposed. The result would only be her reputation being ruined!
Ning Tongtong nced at Qiao Mu and whispered to Shu Xinyu, Mom, forget it. Qiao Mu is just a student. Besides, if this matter blows up, it wont be good for thepetitions reputation. Ning Tongtong looked at Key. Key is honest, dont you think so? Key shrugged. You dont have to think about me. I dont care. Ning Tongtong originally thought that Key could speak up for Qiao Mu, but she never expected him to actually stay out of it! Ning Tongtong continued to persuade her. Mom, what if things get out of hand? Someone will target me and say that I relied on you to get promoted. Itll be bad for thepany and my reputation. Shu Xinyu thought about it and felt that Ning Tongtong was right. After all, herpany had invested in thispetition. If there was negative news, it might implicate thepany. Shu Xinyu nodded. Its fine if we dont sue Qiao Mu, but we have to make her dere that her work giarized the Tong brand! Dream on! Qiao Mu answered without thinking, President Shu, even if you love your daughter dearly, dont distort the truth! Shu Xinyus face darkened. Qiao Mu, were kind enough to let you off this time. You At this moment, a cold voice sounded from the door. Who let who off? Everyone looked at the door and saw a tall figure walking in leisurely. The mans hands were in his pockets, and his expression was cold. There was a faint smile on his handsome face, but there was a chill in his dark eyes that no man could look straight into.
Qiao Mu watched as the man walked toward her step by step. His bone-chilling gaze turned gentle the moment itnded on her. Qiao Mu could tell that this man was angry. It had been a long time since she had seen him look so scary. She had wanted to show him her best form in this match so that she could show off to him and enjoy his praise afterward. However, she still messed it up.. Chapter 559 - 559: Young Master Li Appears and Kills Everyone Instantly (1) Chapter 559 - 559: Young Master Li Appears and Kills Everyone Instantly (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans appearance immediately silenced the noisy lounge. Some people did not recognize him and whispered, Isnt he the handsome guy sitting in the first row of the audience? Hes sitting with the Third Young Master of Beijing. He must be a powerful figure!
Even he doesnt know. Hes Li Yan, the president of LSAG. He returned to China half a year ago to take charge of thepany. Hes been developing overseas. Why is this big shot here? Its said that the Shu Corporations Xinyu Clothing Company has a partnership with the Li Corporation. Could it be that theyre here to help resolve this matter? That Qiao Mu is going to be in trouble! Chi Xia, who had just arrived, heard the discussions around her and gloated. Indeed, someone was going to be unlucky! Once Young Master Li appeared, the unlucky ones were naturally the ones who bullied Qiao Mu! Shu Xinyu looked at Li Yan and put away her cold expression. She smiled faintly. Why is President Li here backstage? Were settling thepetition. Looking at Li Yans expressionless face, Shu Xinyu waspletely uncertain. She did not know why Li Yan was here. However, this was a good opportunity to let Li Yan know that Qiao Mu had done something shameful. This way, Li Yan would set his eyes on Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong and Shu Xinyu had simr thoughts. She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice as if she was the victim, Young Master Li, my work was giarized by Qiao Mu, but since shes still a student, we wont pursue the matter with her. How would we dare to trouble you with such a small matter? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. This matter isnt a big deal, but its not a small one either. Theres a need to pursue it. Hearing Li Yans words, Ning Tongtong was delighted. Although she did not want to pursue the matter, Li Yans intentions were obviously biased towards her!
Shu Xinyu looked at Ning Tongtong. Since President Li has said so, Tongtong, whats your opinion? Ning Tongtong pondered for a moment before shaking her head. Forget it. If we sue Qiao Mu in court, her future development will be ruined. Qiao Mu sneered. She had never seen such a kind person. He was so kind that it made her feel disgusted! The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up, but his face was cold. He opened his thin lips slightly. President Shu, your daughter is really understanding. Her work was giarized, but she still thought about the future of the giarist. Ning Tongtong lowered her head shyly. Shu Xinyu smiled. President Li, you must be joking. Tongtong, she Before Shu Xinyu could finish her sentence, Li Yan interrupted her. But Im not that kind. His words were bone-chilling and confusing. They did not understand what Li Yan was trying to say. Qiao Mu looked at Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtongs expressions and found them extremely funny, especially Ning Tongtong. She lowered her head in front of Li Yan and looked so gentle. It was like a huge joke! She stood at the side and did not interrupt. Based on her understanding of men, the man lookedpletely angry at this moment, but some people could not tell. However, it made sense. Other than her, who else could see through her uncle? At this moment, Lei Yi walked in and handed the document to Li Yan. Young Master, this is theint.
An usation? Ning Tongtongs eyes widened in shock. Then, she saw Li Yan handing her theint. She quickly shook her head. Young Master Li, we dont intend to sue Qiao Mu. Youre? You seem to be mistaken. Li Yan chuckled softly. His deep ck eyes became even colder. It seems like you still dont understand.. Then let me tell you clearly that youre not the intiff, but the defendant! Chapter 560 - 560: Young Master Li Appears and Kills Everyone Instantly (2) Chapter 560 - 560: Young Master Li Appears and Kills Everyone Instantly (2)
Trantor: 549690339 As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Ning Tongtongs face instantly turned pale. President Li, are you mistaken? Shu Xinyu frowned. How did our Tongtong be the defendant? Qiao Mu giarized Tongtongs work!
Then find the evidence. However, I do have evidence here. Ill see you in court. Li Yan was merciless. His words were enough to wake Ning Tongtong up from her dream. At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Li Yan had appeared to help Qiao Mu! It was no wonder Qiao Mu did not say a word ever since Li Yan arrived. She originally thought that she was feeling guilty, but now she understood that with Li Yan around, she did not need to say anything at all! Key remained silent. So Qiao Mu actually had such a backer. He recalled that Qiao Mu said she was selling the drafts to earn money. Now that she had Li Yan, she no longercked money, so she stopped selling the drafts? Keys expression turned cold. However, the girls clear eyes in front of him were not fake. At this moment, Ning Tongtong was already in aplete mess. When she heard that they were going to court, she shook her head with a pale face and grabbed Shu Xinyus hand in a panic. Mommy, what should we do? Compared to Ning Tongtongs guilty conscience, Shu Xinyu was full of confidence. She had absolute trust in Ning Tongtong. She patted Ning Tongtongs hand and said, Its okay. Even if we go to court, well still win! In Shu Xinyus opinion, Li Yans actions were just asking Qiao Mu to humiliate herself! Shu Xinyu took theint and handed it to Ning Tongtong. Tongtong, sign it. Leave the rest to me. No, you cant sign it! Ning Tongtong shook her head in panic.
An Ting, who was standing at the side, watched the change in the situation. The jealousy in her heart was hard to control. No wonder Qiao Mu, an inexperienced university student, signed up for thepetition. She was indeed backed by someone! It would be an insult to thepetition if such a scumbag remained in thepetition! An Ting looked at Ning Tongtongs useless appearance and fanned the mes, Tongtong, what are you afraid of? Its Qiao Mu who giarized your work. She should be the one feeling guilty. You should sue someone as ipetent as her and sue her until the end. Let her As An Ting spoke, she suddenly felt a cold gaze sweep over her. She met Li Yans icy gaze and her body froze. All the words were stuck in her throat and sne could not say tnem. Li Yan nced at the contestant card on An Tings chest and narrowed his cold eyes. He would remember this woman! It seemed that his little woman was too outstanding and attracted a group of people who were jealous of her. Qiao Mu looked coldly at Ning Tongtong. Whos the one feeling guilty? Ning Tongtong, since you said that I giarized, why dont you sign it? Ning Tongtongs expression was ugly. Qiao Mu, Im leaving you a way out. Dont invite a snub! Ha, thank you. Do I need you to leave me a way out? Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh out loud. In the next second, her expression turned cold. I should thank you for taking care of me. If it werent for your special care, my entry wouldnt have been destroyed, and I almost had to forfeit thepetition!
Ning Tongtong was exasperated. What evidence do you have? Youre inexperienced and keep making mistakes, but in the end, its all my fault. Qiao Mu, how can you nder me like this? Shu Xinyu berated, Qiao Mu, Ive really never seen a girl like you. Youre so scheming at such a young age. I think you didnt learn well from that imprisoned stepmother! Qiao Mus expression instantly turned gloomy and pale after hearing Shu Xinyus words.. Chapter 561 - 561: Li Yan Appears and Kills Everyone Instantly Chapter 561 - 561: Li Yan Appears and Kills Everyone Instantly
(3) Trantor: 549690339 Shu Xinyus words were saying that she had no upbringing!
Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed, and the scar she cared about the most was revealed. Qiao Mu felt the man beside her turn sinister and terrifying. The moment the man moved, Qiao Mu immediately stepped forward and shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine. It was true that she did not have a mother, but she had a father! Her stepmother had never raised her since she was young, but her father had done his duty to raise her! Qiao Mu expressionlessly returned Shu Xinyus gaze. President Shu, youre an elder. Dont you think its beneath you to say such words? My stepmother is indeed not aspetent as you. She wont be like you, spoiling her stepdaughter without any reason! You! Shu Xinyus expression was ugly. There was a burst of discussion in the surroundings. Outsiders knew that Ning Tongtong and Shu Xinyu were mother and daughter, but they did not know that Shu Xinyu was not Ning Tongtongs biological mother! Im sorry to disturb you. Suddenly, a voice interrupted, and a tall figure walked over. Ye Nuan looked at Qiao Mu before her gazended on Ning Tongtong. I overheard your conversation just now, and I can prove that Ning Tongtong did indeed look for Qiao Mus original model, Xuanxuan, in private. Ning Tongtongs expression changed. Ye Nuan, what nonsense are you spouting!
Ye Nuan shrugged. Miss Ning, youre too agitated. Youll know if youre talking nonsense after seeing the photo. I happened to see it, so I took a photo of it. I also heard Miss Ning tell Xuanxuan that she wants Xuanxuan to be the spokesperson for Tong. Qiao Mus expression turned cold. As expected, Xuanxuans sudden diarrhea is also rted to you! Ning Tongtong straightened her back. The more chaotic the situation was, the more she couldnt lose her sense of propriety. She sneered, Dont talk nonsense! It was just a photo. What could it prove? Ye Nuan, do you have a personal rtionship with Qiao Mu and are deliberately helping her? Ye Nuan raised her eyebrows. Didnt you say that you want Xuanxuan to be the spokesperson for Tong? Of course not! My clothing brand has a special spokesperson. How can I change it just like that? I definitely wouldnt let an inexperienced model be the spokesperson. What a joke! Ning Tongtong said confidently. How could she admit to something without evidence? Moreover, from the beginning, she was just trying to trick Xuanxuan into taking the bait! Ye Nuan sighed and looked at the door. Xuanxuan, you heard it. She said it herself. Hearing this, Ning Tongtong was stunned. The next second, she heard Xuanxuans furious voice,Ning Tongtong, you lied to me! I still fell for your trick and gave up the opportunity to go on stage to help you do so many things! You Ning Tongtong didnt know how to quibble for a moment, so she red at Qiao Mu. I know, you must have linked them together to frame me! Ning Tongtong looked at Shu Xinyu with an aggrieved expression. Mom, look at how bad they can be. Hurry up and get these people to leave. A goodpetition has been ruined by them! Shu Xinyu looked at Key, who was not involved in the matter. Key, this is apetition that you organized. Are you not going to do anything about letting these contestants mess around with the models? Key smiled faintly. Director Shu, you know that this is apetition. Ning Tongtong has been sued for giarism and has been used of viting the rules of thepetition. Logically speaking, she should be disqualified.
What? Ning Tongtongs eyes widened. Theres no evidence at all. Just because they ndered me, they want to disqualify me from thepetition? Shu Xinyu frowned. Key, apetition is not a game.. Without evidence, you cant make a decision! Chapter 562 - 562: Overbearing and Unreasonable Pet (1) Chapter 562 - 562: Overbearing and Unreasonable Pet (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Keys tone was indifferent. President Shu is right. Since you dont have any evidence to use Qiao Mu of giarism, its unfair for you to give the contestant a zero. Key, Im a judge. I have the right to use my own standards to judge the contestants. I sponsored thispetition. Do you think I dont have the right to give a yer with no character a zero?
Her words made Li Yan, who had been silent for a moment,ugh coldly. No moral character? President Li seems to be dissatisfied with my standards. Im only judging the matter, not the person. Shu Xinyu looked at Li Yans sinister expression. Although she had worked with Li Yan before, their working rtionship was still quite harmonious. Although Li Yans working attitude was cold, he was still polite. However, the Li Yan in front of her today was so cold that she had never seen him before. After all, she was an elder. How could she lose herposure in front of a junior? Im the exact opposite of President Shu. Im the one who treats people and not things. President Ning contacted me a few days ago and said that he was interested in working with the Li Corpora tion. I wanted to consider it at first, but it seems that theres no chance now. Li Yans words caused Shu Xinyus expression to change again and again. Qiao Mu listened to the mans unreasonable words and spoke so righteously. This man was like this. Whether it was right or wrong, it was like an imperial edict from his mouth. As long as it was something he wanted to do, there was no right or wrong. Ning Tongtong was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She took a step forward and approached Li Yan, then pointed at Qiao Mu angrily. Young Master Li, you cant be deceived by this scheming b * tch. She Hearing Ning Tongtongs words, Li Yans expression darkened. He picked up theint and threw it at Ning Tongtongs face.
Due to the speed and force, the paper scraped Ning Tongtongs face with great force. It was extremely sharp, causing Ning Tongtong to let out a low, sharp cry. Immediately after, a bone-chilling voice rang out with endless coldness, making people tremble uncontrobly. I never hit women. If you dont shut your mouth, I dont mind making an exception here. Qiao Mu saw Li Yans frightening expression and reached out to hold his hand gently. Lets go. Its fine if we dont participate in such an unfairpetition! Li Yan lowered his head, and when his gazended on Qiao Mu, his coldness vanished instantly. He held her hand and walked out. The entrance was originally blocked by a group of contestants who were watching the show, but they all consciously made way for Qiao Mu at this moment. Numerous gazes of envy and jealousynded on Qiao Mu. The famous Young Master Li was hundreds of times more handsome and cool than the rumors said! Just as the two of them were about to leave, Key said, Wait a minute. Qiao Mu turned her head and met Keys phoenix eyes. Teacher Key, thank you for recognizing my work. I wont have a chance to advance to the finals. I havent given the final result yet. Its a little too early to say that. Keys words stunned Qiao Mu. Could there be a turning point? As the organizer, Ill add a temporary rule to give Qiao Mu the right to advance to the finals, Key continued. Qiao Mu was stunned. The surprise came too suddenly and caught her off guard!
Teacher Key had been staying out of her matters. She thought that he did not want to offend Shu Xinyu, but she did not expect him to pull her back at thest moment! Shu Xinyus expression changed. Key, this is apetition. How can you change the rules just like that! President Shu, I think you should know that I have the final say in thispetition! Key paused for a moment and said, Also, my studio has received an invitation from LSAE today.. So, from the finals onwards, we will be working with the Li Group! Chapter 563 - 563: Overbearing and Unreasonable Pet (2) Chapter 563 - 563: Overbearing and Unreasonable Pet (2)
Trantor: 549690339 Key took a step forward and extended his hand to Li Yan. President Li, I hope we can work together happily. Naturally. Li Yans lips curled up as he held the other partys hand.
Everything had changed too quickly. Before Qiao Mu could recover from her shock, Li Yan had already led her back to the lounge. Li Yan pinched Qiao Mus cheeks. Youre back to your senses. What are you daydreaming about? Qiao Mu looked at the mans face in front of her and jumped up in surprise. She wrapped herself around Li Yan like an octopus. Uncle, youre really my savior! No, youre my lucky star! Li Yan chuckled softly and sat on the sofa with the little woman in his arms. If thats the case, why dont you look for your lucky star when you encounter trouble? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Im worried that my luck will run out, so I have to save it for use! Garrulous! Qiao Mu hooked her arm around Li Yans neck. Uncle, whats with thewsuit? I didnt know about it beforehand. When I saw Shu Xinyu use you of giarism, I asked Lei Yi to prepare awsuit. She dared to use my woman of giarism, so how could I not retaliate? Li Yans tone sounded like he should not be too protective of his own. What if I really giarized?
Then Ill turn ck into white. The mans words were overbearing and unreasonable, causing warmth to flow through Qiao Mus heart. In this world, there was one person who stubbornly supported her no matter what she did. Although this method was very rude and unreasonable, who wouldnt want to find a man who doted on them unconditionally? Qiao Mu thought that meeting him in this lifetime was truly the luckiest thing for her! In fact, Li Yan had never thought that she would giarize. His little woman was so serious about her work that he was a little jealous of the work that she valued. How could she giarize? He had never doubted her. When Shu Xinyu said that Ning Tongtongs work was simr to hers, he had thought of the mysterious person who had bought her work. Of course, if she was really wrong, she was right in front of others. To correct his mistakes, he naturally had to go home and teach him a lesson behind closed doors! Qiao Mu hugged the mans neck and gave him a heavy kiss. Li Yan licked his lips and smiled. Thats it?
What else do you want? Dont push your luck! Little thing, it ended so hastily this morning. Shouldnt you make it up to me? Hurriedly ending it? That was because his skills were not good enough! Qiao Mu really wanted to say this out loud, but she truly did not have the guts. Suddenly, thatrge hand reached into her clothes in a disobedient manner. Qiao Mu stiffened and red at him with a slightly red face. Quickly take your hand away! Im angry! Hmm? Then why dont you show me how angry you are? The man seemed to be teasing her on purpose, and his big hands became even more arrogant. A light touch of the little womans body was enough to ignite himpletely, not to mention that he had been hungry for so long. Li Yan pressed her against the sofa and kissed her. Qiao Mu was on tenterhooks. He was too reckless. Someone could enter this ce at any time! Li Yan knew that the little woman would not allow him to continue staying here. He only kissed him, unwilling to leave her lips. At this moment, the door was pushed open. Li Yan paused and looked up at the person at the door. His expression darkened, and he sat up as if nothing had happened and tidied up Qiao Mus clothes. Qiao Mus face was red and she was too embarrassed to look up.. She thought it would be Chi Xia and Baby Guan, but when she looked up, she saw Ning Tongtong! Chapter 564 - 564: Overbearing and Unreasonable Pet (3) Chapter 564 - 564: Overbearing and Unreasonable Pet (3)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu expressionlessly looked at Ning Tongtong. Did youe to the wrong door? Ning Tongtongs face turned purple the moment she pushed the door open. She never expected to see such a scene in the room!
The two of them were entangled on the sofa. The scene was simply unbearable! This Qiao Mu was truly shameless. She had lured men to such a ce! She was initially puzzled as to why Li Yan would be so biased towards Qiao Mu and was curious about what kind of methods Qiao Mu had used. Now, she finally understood that it was nothing more than that! Ning Tongtong stood at the door and lowered her head. Sorry to disturb you. Qiao Mu, I want to talk to you. Even though Qiao Mu did not want to waste her breath on Ning Tongtong, she still felt the need to mention the fact that Ning Tongtong had bought her design drafts. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. Uncle, wait for me outside. Li Yan furrowed his brows, clearly worried. Qiao Mu smiled back at him, reassuring him. Li Yan then stood up and walked out of the room. When he passed Ning Tongtong, his cold eyes swept over her with a warning. Ning Tongtong gritted her teeth and entered the room. Qiao Mu was the first to speak. If you have something to say, just say it. Its just the two of us, so you dont have to pretend anymore. We both know what happened between us.
Qiao Mu, I came to find you to talk about this. Ning Tongtong looked at Qiao Mu without the slightest hint of guilt. Thats right, I bought your design drafts, but you have to know that I gave you money and you gave me the drafts. It was a normal transaction between us, and there was no right or wrong, much less giarism. Back then, we clearly came to an agreement that no matter where you saw the work you sold to me, you were not allowed to tell a third person about our transaction! You sold your work to me, so its mine. You have no right to sue me! Ning Tongtong was right. Back then, she had sold the copyright willingly because shecked money. She could not me anyone else. This was also the reason why she had not made this matter public. Although Ning Tongtongs actions were disgraceful, she couldnt turn her back on her. Ning Tongtong, Qiao Mu said coldly, I can pretend that nothing happened before, but you keep saying that I giarized you. Do you think Ill sit by and do nothing? Ning Tongtongs tone softened. Actually, I thought that you bought the artwork from someone else, so Ive been targeting you. Im worried that what I did will be exposed. Since weve cleared up our matters, Ill exin it to my mother. In that case, I hope you wont say the wrong thing again. Goodbye! After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she left the room. Outside the door, Li Yan leaned against the wall. When he saw Qiao Mue out, he raised his eyebrows. Were done with this? Do you know that being merciful to your enemies is asking for trouble for yourself? Qiao Mu knew that he had overheard their conversation just now. She turned to look at Ning Tongtong, whose face was pale. She winked at Li Yan. Then what do you think we should do? ording to my style, its Cripple him! Qiao Mu was speechless.
How ruthless! Absolute! Qiao Mu rejoiced countless times that she was not his enemy! Ning Tongtongs legs went weak from fear, but she pretended to be calm. Qiao Mu held Li Yans hand and said as they walked, Uncle, if you educate me like this, others will think that I have a bad character. Wouldnt that make me even worse? It doesnt matter. My woman naturally has to work with me. Qiao Mu was speechless. If he was dirty, he would drag her along with him! What kind of twisted logic was this! Ning Tongtong, who was standing at the door of the room, looked at Qiao Mu and Li Yans intimate backs, and her expression turned ferocious.. Chapter 565 - 565: Likes the Secretive Type Chapter 565 - 565: Likes the Secretive Type
Trantor: 549690339 Thepetition had not ended yet, so Qiao Mu could not leave the venue. She went to the runway hall with Li Yan and continued watching thepetition. At some point, Baby Guan was already sitting in the audience. Although she was sitting on Lu Jingzhi, her expression was serious. It was obvious that the two of them were having a fight.
Ling Xi smiled when he saw Qiao Mu. Sister-inw, your face is glowing. Did you solve the problem? The way she called her sister-in w became more and more fluent, making Qiao Mu feel a little ufortable. Dont call me sister-inw. Li Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the little woman. Was she shy? Being called sister-inw by someone so old will make me look old, Qiao Mu continued. Ling Xi was speechless. At such an old age? How old was he? He was a few months younger than her man, alright? Lu Jingzhi said lightly, Qiao Mu, who asked your man to be the boss? Since you dont want to be the sister-inw, then ask Big Brother to give up his position as the boss. After interacting with Li Yan and his brothers for a long time, Qiao Mu realized that they were only cold and aloof on the surface and were not that difficult to get along with. After hearing Lu Jingzhis words, Qiao Mu immediately retaliated. Give it to who? Young Master Lu, do you want Baby to be your sister-inw? Baby Guan snorted. Mu Mu, why did you mention me? I have nothing to do with him! Qiao Mu raised her brows and smiled. If its alright, then why are you sitting next to him?
Because theres only one seat here! Baby Guan lied through her teeth. There was clearly an empty seat next to Su Chen. Lu Jingzhi crossed his legs and nced at Baby Guan. Oh, so you would let someone who has nothing to do with you kiss you. Qiao Mus lips twitched. Why was Young Master Lu so direct in front of so many people?! Sure enough, after Lu Jingzhi finished speaking, Baby Guans face turned red for once. Baby Guan had always been a big girl, but she was blushing! Lu Jingzhi refused to let her go. Why? Am I wrong? You Baby Guan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She stood up and was about to leave, but before she could take a step, her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled back to the chair in the next second. Alright, stop fooling around. Watch the game quietly! After Qiao Mu finished watching the show, she leaned toward Li Yan. Uncle, I realized that youre actually better offpared to them. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. What do you mean? At least youre serious in front of others and not so casual. This man was really coquettish. He did not reveal his true nature outside and always revealed his true colors when they were alone.
Li Yan chuckled. So, youre encouraging me to learn from Third Brother? No, no, dont learn from him. I like the quiet type! Since youre so sure of your man, Ill definitely work harder to satisfy you. Qiao Mu was speechless. After a while, Chi Xia came over and Qiao Mu waved at her. Xiaxia, where did you go? What else? You left with your man and I, your assistant, helped you pack up your clothes backstage. Qiao Mu chuckled and told Chi Xia to sit down and watch the match. The only seat left in the row was beside Su Chen. Chi Xia walked over and sat down with her head lowered. Qiao Mu saw that the two of them didnt have any conversation, and she couldnt help but be curious about what was going on between them. On the judges seats, Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mu expressionlessly. Her eyes turned cold, and she looked at Key.. Key, what benefits did Li Yan give you to make you protect Qiao Mu like this?

Trantor: 549690339 Keys attitude was cold. President Shu, there are some things that cant be exchanged with benefits. What he meant was that Shu Xinyus thoughts were too vulgar.
Shu Xinyus expression changed. I only know that a person with an extremely bad character cant be much better in any aspect. You probably dont know this, but Li Yan and Qiao Mus family have a feud. Qiao Mus stepmother was sent to prison by Li Yan, and shes already disowned at such a young age. Even if you want to nurture her, she wont remember your kindness in the future! Key turned a deaf ear to him. Thats not important, President Shu. You probably dont know this, but Li Yan and Qiao Mus family have a feud. Qiao Mus stepmother was sent to prison by Li Yan, and shes already disowned at such a young age. Even if you want to nurture her, she wont remember your kindness in the future! Key turned a deaf ear to him. Thats not important, President Shu. Below the stage, Qiao Mu saw that Key and Shu Xinyu were talking about something in the judges seats. Suddenly, Ling Xi eximed, Is this a fashion show or a pajamas show? Five women in pajamas came out at the same time. How stunning! Qiao Mu looked up and saw An Ting leading the models on stage. An Tings design was based on the explicit style of a fashion brand. The model did not even wear any underwear. Her upper body was covered with a translucent chiffon fabric with flowers printed on it. The lower hem was split to the thigh. When she walked, it was almost as if she was showing off her beauty. Previously, when each of the costumes appeared individually, it was not too stunning. Now that they appeared at the same time, it really made peoples imaginations run wild. Qiao Mu turned to look at the man beside her and red at him. Youre not allowed to look! Li Yan nced at her. Little thing, wheres your professional ethics? Hmph, do you like this kind of clothes very much?
Not bad. Not bad? From this mans mouth, it meant that she liked him! Qiao Mu was instantly unhappy. Indeed, all men were the same! Li Yan could tell that the little woman was unhappy, so he smiled faintly. However, its not worth wearing on them. I prefer to wear it on you. You can wear it as pajamas for me when we get home. Qiao Mu was speechless. In his eyes, the designer clothes were nothing more than pajamas! No, it should be more urate to say that it was a flirting nightgown. However, Qiao Mu found his words, Theres nothing to look at on them extremely pleasing to the ear. After An Tings team finished their performance, Tang Xiaozhu was thest to advance. When Qiao Mu announced the results, she saw An Tings confident expression, and her expression instantly turned extremely ugly. It was as if she had not expected this oue at all.
An Ting would never have thought that Tang Xiaozhu was her junior sister and usually helped her in thepany. However, she had designed such a big brand of clothes, and her total score was actually one point lower than Tang Xiaozhu! An Ting thought that since Qiao Mu was able to make an exception and be directly selected by Key to enter the finals, she would also have the same opportunity. Compared to Qiao Mu, that giarist, she was not inferior at all! After thepetition, eight teams had advanced to the next round. In the end, Key announced that it would make an exception and let Qiao Mu advance. After that, there was nothing else. In other words, all the other contestants were eliminated! An Ting went up on stage indignantly. Key teacher, why is Qiao Mu the only one who made an exception and advanced? We have so many contestants, but are we all inferior to her? Since she can advance, with my strength, I can too! Key looked at An Ting. Youre indeed good, but this is apetition, not an exhibition where you can do whatever you want. The clothes you designed did not match the theme of thepetition. No matter how outstanding they were, it was meaningless. For this match, having too much experience isnt necessarily a good thing. An Tings face turned pale. She was unwilling to ept this! She was aiming for the championship. How could she fall halfway and not even advance to the finals! [Q: Is Ning Tongtong done with her torture? A: Of course not! It was just a little torture, but the exciting part is yet toe!] Chapter 567 - 567: Definitely Defeat Qjao Mu in the Finals Chapter 567 - 567: Definitely Defeat Qjao Mu in the Finals
Trantor: 549690339 The match ended. Even though Qiao Mu was schemed against by Ning Tongtong and put in a difficult position by Shu Xinyu, she still managed to obtain a spot in the finals.
Yu Yiduo couldnt make it to the venue. After she called to ask about the results, she mored for Li Yan to bring Qiao Mu home. She wanted to personally cook for Qiao Mu to celebrate. Qiao Mu returned to the lounge to pack her things while Li Yan left to wait for her in the car. After she was done cleaning up, Qiao Mu came out of the lounge and bumped into An Ting. The moment An Ting saw her, her expression darkened. Qiao Mu, you still have the face to continuepeting in such a special way to enter the finals? Qiao Mu didnt think much of it. Why? Could it be that Teacher Key gave you such a chance, and you want to withdraw from thepetition because of your pride? An Tings expression changed. You dont have to be smug. I want to see how far a giarist like you can go! The higher you rise, the more painful it is to fall. Im just waiting to watch a good show! Thank you for paying so much attention to me. Qiao Mu was not angry no matter how much he provoked her and left. You! An Ting was exasperated. Tang Xiaozhu tugged at An Tings clothes lightly. Sister Ting, forget it. Teacher Key naturally had his reasons for helping Qiao Mu advance. Youd better Shut up! An Ting red at Tang Xiaozhu angrily. You have no right to speak here. Youve advanced, so of course youre satisfied. Im the one whos been eliminated! Tang Xiaozhu lowered her head in embarrassment. Qiao Mu originally didnt want to be a busybody, but she stopped in her tracks when she heard this. Anting, its reasonable for you to lose to Tang Xiaozhu. Tang Xiaozhus works, from the preliminary round to the semi-finals, not only have unique designs, but they alsopletely fit the theme of thepetition. As for your works, apart from disying fashion brands, what other design concepts do you have? Dont think that youve been treated unfairly. Just like Teacher Key said, in this game, having experience isnt necessarily a good thing!
Qiao Mus words made An Tings face turn red with anger. Youre even lecturing me now? No matter how bad I am, Im still better than you. Other than giarism, what else do you know?! Qiao Mus expression turned cold. If you say something without evidence, its a false usation! Please wait until after the finals before you evaluate me! Qiao Mu left and walked around the corner, bumping into Ning Tongtong and Shu Xinyu. She did not stop in her tracks. Just as she walked past the two of them, Shu Xinyu called out to her. Qiao Mu, youre still so young, so youre too eager for quick sess. There are some things that youve benefited from now, but youll pay the price for it sooner orter. Shu Xinyu lectured. Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Shu Xinyu. President Shu, what do you mean by that? Li Yan wont always protect you like this. Without him, you wont be able to survive in this industry. Qiao Mu found it extremelyughable. She relied on her own hard work to obtain results, yet she was regarded as worthless by others! President Shu, its not up to you whether I can survive in this industry or not. If you have the energy, you should put more effort into your daughter! Qiao Mu left immediately after she finished speaking. Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mus back and frowned. You really have no manners! Mom, forget it. Ning Tongtongs voice was soft and gentle. Dont try to see her again. Forget about the giarism. Ill defeat Qiao Mu in the finals. If she giarizes again, I wont let her off!
Shu Xinyu sighed. Youre the kind-hearted one.. Chapter 568 - 568: Haven’t Seen the World Chapter 568 - 568: Havent Seen the World
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was originally in a good mood, but after being lectured by Shu Xinyu, she hopped into Li Yans car listlessly. In order to stand out in thepetition with her own strength, she had already worked very hard. However, in the eyes of others, she still relied on Li Yan to get to the top.
Some people liked to use their own thoughts to evaluate others. In the end, it was because their thoughts were not pure that they thought that she was not pure. Thinking of this, he felt a little better. Li Yan looked at the little woman. What are you thinking about? Recalling that the Li Corporation was the sponsor of the finals, Qiao Mu red at him. Uncle, youre not allowed to interfere with my results during the finals. His tone was not one of pleading, but one ofmand. Li Yans lips curled up and he lookedzy. As long as you dont get bullied, you can do whatever you want. Qiao Mu smiled in satisfaction. How can I be bullied so easily? Dont worry! When he returned to the Li familys house, he heard the sound of pots and pans being smashed in the kitchen as soon as he entered. Li Zheng was sitting on the sofa. When he saw theming back, he frowned and looked helpless. Youre finally back. Your mother has prepared a feast for you. Qiao Mu looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, and then the sound of a basin falling to the ground was heard. This sound was somewhat familiar, and it was somewhat simr to the scene when she was cooking in the kitchen. Qiao Mu was especially touched to see Yu Yiduo personally cooking, and all the unhappiness she felt during thepetition flew away.
When she looked up, she saw that Li Yans expression had be exactly the same as Li Zhengs. He did not seem to be happy that Madam Yu had personally cooked for him. Qiao Mu realized a problem. Madam Yu definitely did not know how to cook. Even if he didnt know how to do it, it wouldnt be too bad, right? Qiao Mu entered the kitchen, hoping to get lucky. When Yu Yiduo saw her, she greeted her warmly, Mu Mu, youre finally back. Come, help Mommy bring the dishes to the table and prepare to eat. When Qiao Mus gazended on the dish that Yu Yiduo was pointing at, she instantlyHe was stunned. Auntie, what is this? Was this ck thing really for her to eat? Yu Yiduo looked at Qiao Mu as if she was looking at an idiot. This is braised prawn. Mumu, have you never seen such a big Argentina red prawn before? Youre really too ignorant! Qiao Mu was speechless. How ignorant was she to be unable to recognize a prawn? How could one tell that this ck lump of ash was a braised prawn?
Qiao Mu could only pretend that she was really ignorant. Then, she looked at the other te of ck things and said with a clear expression, know this. This is braised chicken wings, right? Yu Yiduo shook her head helplessly. Thats ck pepper steak. Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, she was really ignorant. At this moment, Li Yan walked over. Yu Yiduo scolded him, Son, youre too much. Mumu has been with you for so long, but why didnt you let her see the world? She doesnt even know how to cook the Argentina red prawns, and she hasnt even seen the steak before. Qiao Mu wanted to cry but had no tears. He couldnt look down on her like this! Just as she thought that Li Yan would put in a good word for her, he nodded and said seriously, Yes, Ill bring her out more often to see the world. Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu walked out of the kitchen with the food that was almost too much to eat. She red at Li Yan and whispered, You and your mother ganged up to bully me! Be good. Its not easy for my mom to cook. You have to cooperate with her and give her some face. .. Alright, she finally saw her uncle being filial for once. [I updatedte today. Im not in a good state. Try to update more..] Chapter 569 - 569: Touched to Tears Chapter 569 - 569: Touched to Tears
Trantor: 549690339 Finally, the meal began. Yu Yiduo spent a lot of effort to make four dishes. There were fish, prawns, beef, and vegetables.
Li Zheng stood up and prepared to go upstairs. I didnt sleep wellst night, so Im going upstairs to sleep. You guys go ahead and eat. Dont worry about me. Stop! Yu Yiduo was unhappy. Mu Mu has advanced in thepetition today. We have to celebrate for her. We have to sleep. Well sleep after we finish eating. Li Zheng was forced to walk over and sit down. His expression was as if he was going to the execution ground. This was the first time Qiao Mu had seen Li Zheng, who was even more arrogant than Li Yan, encounter something to worry about. Yu Yiduo poured four sses of red wine and raised her ss. To celebrate Mu Mus advancement in thepetition! Auntie, thank you for making such a table of dishes for me. Qiao Mus gratitude came from the bottom of her heart. Even though the food seemed difficult to swallow, her intentions were genuine. When she was young, no matter what kind of results she got, no one celebrated tor her. Qiao Ya scored full marks in the exam, and Yu Tingyun rewarded her with beautiful jewelry. She was so excited that she wanted to tell her father about it, but Yu Tingyun stopped her, saying that her father was busy with work and that she should not disturb him with such a small matter. Now that she had someone to worry about, it felt really good. Qiao Mus eyes couldnt help but redden. Yu Yiduo looked at her and consoled her with heartache, Whats wrong? Are you so touched that youre about to cry? This child really makes my heart ache. Hurry up and eat a prawn. Qiao Mu saw that there was arge prawn in her bowl, and after hesitating for a moment, she still started peeling the skin.
Although it was dark outside, the meat inside was still edible. She put it into her mouth and took a bite, thenHer eyes turned even redder. Yu Yiduo was shocked. Aiya, isnt it too delicious? Yes. Could she say that it wasnt delicious? In fact, she had been spiced! Qiao Mu wanted to vomit, but she didnt want to hurt Yu Yiduo. She could only silently chew, and after eating, she quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and drank arge mouthful of water. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan with reddened eyes. Li Yan frowned and picked up a prawn with his chopsticks to take a bite before putting it down. Mom, why did you add chili sauce to the braised prawn? What? Did I add chili sauce? I thought the braised prawns were red, so I added the red sauce from a crisper in the fridge to color them. Is that chili sauce? Madam, the butler said, thats the chili sauce specially made by the chef. Its very spicy and is used to season dishes. Yu Yiduo pped her forehead and looked at Qiao Mu worriedly. Mu Mu, why didnt you say it was spicy?
Qiao Mus lips twitched. Its alright, Auntie. I like spicy food. Thats good. I didnt expect it to suit your appetite. Eat more. Qiao Mu was speechless. Did thepetition go well? Li Zheng asked. Qiao Mu smiled. Thank you for your concern, Uncle. Theres a little trouble, but its fine. What trouble? Yu Yiduo asked. Before Qiao Mu could say anything, Li Yan said, How can a yer without a corporate backer and a university student not be in trouble? One of the judges targeted her and gave her a zero. Fortunately, the organizers of thepetition recognized her work and allowed her to advance to the finals directly. Yu Yiduo widened her eyes. Who dares to make things difficult for my daughter? Do you think my daughter is easy to bully? No backing, right? Mu Mu,e and look for me for this kind of thing. You can attend the finals as a designer from a brand under the Yu Corporation. Lets see if they still dare to look down on you! Qiao Mus heart warmed, and she tactfully refused, Thank you, Auntie. I wont trouble you. They thought that I got in through the back door when they found out about my rtionship with Li Yan. If I join the Yu Corporation, I dont know how they will gossip about me. If I really win the championship, they will definitely say that I got in through the back door. I want to handle this matter myself.. Chapter 570 - 570: Mu l s Mother, Got a Clue (1) Chapter 570 - 570: Mu l s Mother, Got a Clue (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Yu Yiduo sighed. Alright, well do as you say. Where can you find such a sensible girl nowadays? Lets not talk about this for now. Lets eat. Qiao Mu braced herself and finished the meal. In the end, she was practically full from drinking water. It was salty and spicy, and the taste was truly rich.
Qiao Mu had always felt that she was not virtuous enough. She only knew how to cook a few simple dishes and had never tried anythingplicated. However,pared to Madam Yu, she was apletely qualified wife! A wife Qiao Mu felt a little unnatural when this term suddenly popped up. She raised her head and met Li Yans gaze unintentionally. She blushed and averted her gaze. She was not someones wife! After the meal, Qiao Mu returned to her room for an afternoon nap. His nerves, which had been tense for half a month, were finally rxed. He really wanted to sleep. Just as she was about to change into her pajamas, Li Yan walked in. Li Yan walked to the closet and rummaged through a set of pajamas for Qiao Mu. Change into this. Qiao Mu couldnt help but blush when she saw him. She had bought the spaghetti strap dress in his hand to seduce him into wearing it. The pajamas were in his palm. He could hold the small fabric in his palm with just a big hand. The material of the pajamas was pitiful.
Qiao Mu ignored him. She picked up another set of pajamas and turned to leave. If you want to wear it, wear it yourself. The next moment, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her down. In the blink of an eye, she was pressed against the wardrobe and could not move. The mans deep voice slowly sounded.Little thing, do you like me wearing this kind of thing? Do you have any bad habits that I havent noticed? Qiao Mu was speechless. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he personally undressed Qiao Mu. Qiao Mus body stiffened as she red at him. Uncle, arent you going to work in the middle of the day? You just came back from a business trip. There must be a lot of things waiting for you to handle in thepany, right? You also know that I just came back from a business trip? The first thing I do when Ie back is not work, but to satisfy my womans needs. I didnt! No need? Li Yanughed softly and lost his bnce. His slender fingers slowly unbuttoned his shirt. Then why were you so enthusiastic this morning? Just now at the dining table, you even used your eyes to seduce me? Which eye of yours saw me lure you?! Li Yans perverted lower body pressed against hers. I can feel it here. F * ck! Could he be any more shameless? Qiao Mu could feel the scorching heat of his fingers being transmitted to her through his touch. Behind her was the ice-cold marble wardrobe, and in front of her was a scalding heat conductor. This cool and hot touch stimted Qiao Mus body to go limp.
Next, a certain man took off her clothes in a good mood and helped her put on her pajamas. Then, he stood in front of her and sized her up. He nodded with admiration. As expected of a fashion designer. I cant find any fault with the clothes you chose. Qiao Mu blushed. I dont like wearing this! Oh? If you dont like it, Ill help you take it off. Qiao Mu grabbed Li Yans hand and reminded him softly, Uncle, its daytime now. ISO so This bastard! He actually pretended to be stupid! If she said that she wanted to stop him, he would definitely say that her thoughts were not pure. He was just changing his clothes and did not remember anything. Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and remained silent. She red at him with a red face. Go and draw the curtains. I want to take an afternoon nap! Good! As Li Yan responded, he hooked his arm around Qiao Mus waist and brought her to the window with him. He then ced her on the cab by the window. The man quickly drew the curtains and walked towards her with a smile. Now, I can help you take off your clothes. This bastard! Chapter 571 - 571: Qjao Mu l s Mother, There’s a Clue (2) Chapter 571 - 571: Qjao Mu l s Mother, Theres a Clue (2)
Trantor: 549690339 Next, a certain man couldnt wait to finish what he hadnt done in the morning. She moved from the window to the bed, and in the end, Qiao Mu fell asleep from exhaustion.
After that, Li Yan pulled the little woman into his arms and closed his eyes to sleep. During the time they were apart, without her by his side, the quality of his sleep had obviously deteriorated. It was time to catch up on his sleep. For Li Yan, sleeping during the day was considered a luxury. However, it was fine for him to indulge himself when he was with a little woman asionally. The two of them slept soundly. It was only when Li Yans phone rang that he woke up. He looked at the little woman who was still sleeping in his arms. He got up and took the phone to the balcony to answer the call. Lei Yis voice sounded from the other end of the phone. Young Master, theres news from the orphanage. Li Yans eyes darkened. Speak! I asked the orphanages director to contact the nurse who worked in the orphanage back then. Coincidentally, the nurse came back from abroad. Shes the only one who knows about Miss Qiaos incident back then. Give me the contact information of this orphanage nurse. Shes been living abroad for a long time, Lei Yi replied. Shes been staying in the orphanage since she came back.
Li Yan hung up the phone and returned to his room to see Qiao Mu sitting up and looking at him. She looked at him nkly. I heard you mention an orphanage? She had just woken up and was not fully awake yet. She only vaguely heard him mention the orphanage when he was on the phone. She knew that he had been investigating her for a long time, but there had been no news. He didnt say anything, and she didnt ask either. She knew that this matter wouldnt be so easy to investigate. Li Yan walked to the bedside and sat down. His big hand gently patted her head. Lei Yi called just now and said that he had contacted the nurse from the orphanage. Shes at the orphanage. Shes the only clue to whether we can find any news about your parents. Qiao Mus grip on the nket tightened, and a glimmer of light shed in her eyes. The next second, her eyes darkened. Is it true that if she doesnt know, then I really wont be able to find my parents? Dont think too much. Theres always hope. Qiao Mu nodded and plunged into Li Yans embrace. In fact, she did not have much hope for this matter. Beijing was so big, and her parents might not be in the same city as her. She thought that there would be no news, but suddenly there was a clue, giving her a glimmer of hope. She was worried that everything would be for naught. Li Yan caressed her gently. Hisrge handnded on her head, wanting to give her some warmth. Dont think about it yet. Sleep for a while more.
Uncle, I want to go to the orphanage now. Its already veryte today. Ill go with you tomorrow morning. Although Qiao Mu was very anxious, she still nodded obediently. Early the next morning, Qiao Mu ate a few simple bites of breakfast before heading out. Li Yans heart ached a little when he saw how flustered she was but pretended to be calm. Qiao Mu did not say anything along the way. When they reached the orphanage, Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. Uncle, wait for me outside. You can do it yourself? Qiao Mu tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled. Its alright, dont worry. Qiao Mu alighted from the car and walked into the orphanage. This was Qiao Mus first time here. The old building had a history of several decades. ording to Zhou Jieru, she was only a few days old when she was taken away from the orphanage. In other words, she was taken in by the orphanage as soon as she was born.. Chapter 572 - 572: She Was Abandoned Chapter 572 - 572: She Was Abandoned
Trantor: 549690339 If she had been thrown into the orphanage, the orphanage would not have known about her background. Actually, she just wanted to confirm why she was born in an orphanage.
If she was abandoned by her parents, thenShe should havepletely given up on the idea of looking for her parents. Early in the morning, there were nurses walking around in the courtyard. Qiao Mu told the nurse why she was here, and the nurse brought her into the inner room. Then, she saw a grandmother in her sixties. It was the old nurse that Li Yan mentioned. When the old man saw Qiao Mu, a smile appeared on his aged face. You were the one who contacted me yesterday, right? 18 years ago, she was taken in by the orphanage when she was born. Qiao Mu nodded. Grandma, I want to know how I ended up in the orphanage back then. After so many years, do you still remember this matter? The old man sighed. How could I not remember? Ive been a nurse in the orphanage for more than ten years. Most orphans were taken in by the orphanage because of sudden changes in their families or because they were sick. They were forced toe to us. You, on the other hand, are the only healthy child who was abandoned in the orphanage. Abandoned Qiao Mus face paled, and she clenched her fists tightly. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, Are you saying that I was abandoned by my parents in the orphanage? Yeah, how can there be such cruel parents in this world? A newborn baby was ced outside the orphanage. However, your childs life isnt too bad. After two days, someone came to adopt the child and took you away. Looking at you now, you should be living well, right? Qiao Mu only felt her heart ache as if it had been cut into pieces. Although she had long expected this possibility, when she confirmed it, the suffocating pain still made her unable to bear it. It turned out that there were really such cruel parents in this world. Since they didnt want her, why did they give birth to her?
When the old man saw Qiao Mus pale face, he asked with concern, Child, are you alright? Qiao Mus lips twitched, and she forced a smile. Grandma, Im fine. Thank you for telling me this and letting me know the truth. Dont you want to find your parents? The orphanage has old information. If you want to look for it, you can flip through the information. There will more or less be records of your matters. The old man said. Qiao Mu shook her head, and a hint of determination shed in her eyes. Theres no need. I dont want to look for them now. Previously, she had thought that her parents had identally lost her and that they were looking for her. However, it seemed that her parents did not want her at all. Why would she do anything unnecessary? Even if they found it, so what? In the courtyard, a few children were carrying their small school bags and preparing to go to school. There were even younger children who were not old enough to go to school. They were ying in the courtyard while the nurse watched from the side. Qiao Mu saw that one of them was not wearing a nurses uniform and was handing out snacks to the children. The woman bent her back and faced her, so she must be a volunteer. Just as Qiao Mu was about to leave, she saw that person stand up and turn around. .. Shu Xinyu?
Qiao Mu did not expect Shu Xinyu to appear in a ce like this. Judging from how close the child was to her, it seemed like she often came here. Shu Xinyu also saw Qiao Mu, and the smile in her eyes instantly vanished. Seeing that the other party didnt like her, Qiao Mu didnt have the mood to greet him and left immediately.. Chapter 573 - 573: The Cruel Truth Chapter 573 - 573: The Cruel Truth
Trantor: 549690339 After Qiao Mu left, Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mus back and asked the nurse beside her, What was the girl who came to open the door doing at the orphanage? The nurse shook her head. Im not sure either. Shes either here to adopt orphans or to look for rtives. Judging from her age, she should be here to do charity. Its rare for her to know how to show love at such a young age. There are still many kind-hearted people like you, Ms. Shu.
Shu Xinyu retracted her gaze and smiled faintly. Im just doing my best to help. Its not a big deal. I feel very pitiful when I see these children without parents at such a young age. The daily necessities that you have provided to these children over the years have helped us reduce a lot of our burden. Your love will be remembered by both the hospital and the children. The nurse said gratefully. A hint of emotion shed across Shu Xinyus eyes, and her tone lowered a little. I just want these children to live better. Their parents can also feel a littleforted. One of the nurses sighed. Parents abandoned their children, so why should they care about their childrens well-being? If he really had a conscience, he wouldnt have let the child grow up in an orphanage. Another nurse nodded. These children are so cute. How could their parents bear to abandon them? Maybe they have their own difficulties. Who knows? Listening to their conversation, the smile on Shu Xinyus face stiffened. This is their fate. No one can change it. The nurse saw that Shu Xinyus expression wasnt too good and thought that she was sad for her child. She smiled and said, But Madam Shu, you definitely cant understand what those parents who abandon their children think. Your family is happy and your daughter is so beautiful and capable. Im really envious. Thats right. Thest time vour daughter. Miss Nine. came to the orDhanace with you, the children all called her Sister Fairy. Its so blissful to have such a daughter. The nurse spoke one sentence after another and did not notice the change in Shu Xinyus expression. To outsiders, everyone thought that Ning Tongtong was Shu Xinyus biological daughter. They did not know that Shu Xinyu was actually her stepmother. Very soon, Shu Xinyus expression returned to normal. She smiled and said,
Thats right. Its my blessing to have a daughter like her. Qiao Mu walked out of the orphanage and got into Li Yans car. She had just sat down when she met the mans concerned gaze, and Qiao Mu could not help but feel a lump in her throat. She desperately told herself not to care. She had long expected such a possibility. It waspletely within her expectations. But His heart really hurt. Not wanting him to worry, she smiled nonchntly. Theres no clue. Its fine if you cant find it. Li Yan frowned and reached out to pull her into his arms. His actions were extremely gentle. Silly girl, you dont have to pretend to be strong in front of me. One sentence made all of Qiao Mus hard work and pretense go to waste. All the grievances and unwillingness surged up and stuck into his arms. Her voice was choked up and made ones heart ache. Uncle, I was really abandoned by them. My parents didnt want me when I was just bornHow could they be so heartless! Since you dont want me, why did you give birth to me Li Yan caressed her hair gently with hisrge hand. Seeing how sad she was after finding out the truth, he regretted asking her toe over today.
She had been looking forward to it, but the truth was extremely cruel to her. [The update waspleted around 12 0clock. [Someone asked if theter part of the plot would be melodramatic.. Tell me, what would be melodramatic?] Chapter 574 - 574: It’s Their Loss Not To Want You Chapter 574 - 574: Its Their Loss Not To Want You
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus tears flowed uncontrobly. She buried her face in Li Yans chest and sobbed. Li Yan did not say anything. He silently hugged Qiao Mu and allowed her to cry and vent her grief.
Li Yans clothes were wet with tears. He sighed and cupped his tear-stained face. He said slowly, Qiao Mu, you still have me. His words were extremely firm and revealed the mans thoughts. Qiao Mus nose turned sour, and her tears flowed even more violently. Yes, she still had him. Even if everyone in the world abandoned her, he would not. Her uncle would always stand behind her and support her! Thousands of words could notpare to his words offort. In fact, God was fair. All the pain she had suffered in the past was exchanged for a unique man like him to love her. It was worth it! Qiao Mu sniffled and wiped away her tears. When she saw the mans concerned and worried zaze, she at the corners of her lips and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. Im fine now, Little Uncle. You dont have to worry about me. He patted her back gently. Girl, its not your fault. Its their loss to not want you. I have to thank them. If they werent so cruel, I wouldnt be able to have
you now. He was right. If it werent for a series of coincidences, they might have been people from twopletely different worlds. There must be a loss. Thinking about it this way, he felt much better. This man had never liked to express himself, and he was not good atforting others. This time, it was really difficult for him to think of a way to make her feelfortable. As the car drove on the road, Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest and recounted the old nurses words. The old nurse said that I was ced at the entrance of the orphanage. There was a note with my birth date written on it. I was just born at that time. She even said that my life was pretty good and that I was adopted in the blink of an eye. Actually, I dont know what to do if my parents suddenly appear in front of me. I have you, Auntie, and my father now. Ive never been so happy before. I have everything I need. I just want to know why they gave birth to me and didnt want me. I originally imagined that they had identally lost me. Even if I couldnt find them, at least I could think that they were worried about me. But now, theres no hope at all. Li Yan rubbed her face with hisrge hand. Maybe they have their own difficulties. There are no parents in this world who dont love their children. Qiao Mu nodded, and a glimmer of light shed in her eyes. Mm, I think so too. No matter what, I have to thank them for giving me life. Looking at the little womans big, sparkling eyes, Li Yans lips curled up slightly. This little woman, who looked so soft, was so strong that she sparkled. She always showed a side that moved his heart.
How could he not love such a small woman? Qiao Mu quickly recovered. No matter how upset she was, she could not allow herself to be immersed in an unchangeable fact. Li Yan sent Qiao Mu to school. Before he got off the car, he still asked worriedly, Are you sure you dont need me to apany you? Its okay, Uncle. Hurry back to thepany. I still have ss. Seeing that she was fine, Li Yan was relieved and let her leave. As the car drove back, Li Yan took out his phone and dialed Lei Yis number. Investigate who has been to the orphanage all these years. Find out their identities.. Chapter 575 - 575: Surprise Came Too Suddenly (1) Chapter 575 - 575: Surprise Came Too Suddenly (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Actually, no matter how nonchnt Qiao Mu acted, he knew that she still hoped to find her parents. He didnt want her to have a knot in her heart that she couldnt untie.
Due to thepetition, many sses were dyed, so Qiao Mu returned to school and worked hard to make up for it. The busy time made her not have the mood to think about other things. There was still a month before the finals, and the rules of thepetition had yet to be announced. She had already put all her focus on her studies to prepare for the finals- There was a video of the semi-finals online. Qiao Mu browsed through thements as she watched it. Many people said that her works were simr to Ning Tongtongs, and most of them said that the clothes she designed were both down-to-earth and fashionable. However, there was also a lot of negative news. After all, she had been selected for the finals through a special method. Qiao Mu was surfing the inte in the dormitory when Baby Guan returned. He smiled mysteriously at her and said, Mumu, let me show you something good. Qiao Mu burst intoughter. What the hell are you doing? Baby Guan took out a piece of clothing from her handbag and waved it in front of Qiao Mu. Your outfit for thepetition is going viral! Baby Guan was holding one of Qiao Mus clothes from the semi-finals. Qiao Mu had left all her previous entries at the Li familys residence. She was about to ask Baby Guan where she got the clothes when she took a closer look. The fabric of the clothes was not hers. Baby Guan saw her confusion and exined with a smile, I bought this at the store for 380 yuan. Its a high-quality imitation. Its selling really well. The store owner said that its going to sell for 400 to 500 yuan online. Qiao Mu was stunned. She took the clothes and examined them carefully. The design was indeed exactly the same.
It was only a few days after thepetition. Wasnt this efficiency a little too fast? Baby Guan browsed through the online store and excitedly handed her phone to Qiao Mu. Quick, look! This online store is pre-selling the clothes you designed. Its only been a few days, and its already selling for more than 500 yuan. The price isnt cheap either. Mu Mu, youre the only contestant whose work has be popr so quickly. The other contestants immediately released their works after thepetition ended. Unfortunately, theyre far inferior to yours! Qiao Mu found this sudden piece of news rather difficult to digest. Her dream had always been to see others wearing the clothes she had personally designed, and just thinking about it made her feel especially satisfied. She did not expect this day toe so quickly. Although they were all imitations, it was precisely because her designs were popr that they were imitations. Baby Guan became more and more excited as she spoke. It looks like youll win the championship sooner orter. Qiao Mu was helpless. Dont talk nonsense about this. The other eight contestants in the finals are all very powerful. How can they be so easy to deal with? At this moment, Qiao Mus phone rang. It was an unknown number. She was still in a state of shock, so she casually answered the call and said, Hello. A mans voice came from the other end of the phone. Qiao Mu, Im a Key. Qiao Mus eyes widened and she instantly focused. She immediately sat up straight and said into the phone, Hello, Teacher Key. Is there anything you need from me? Come to my studio tomorrow morning. Key said calmly. Alright, alright. Qiao Mu responded without any objections. Then, is there anything else, Teacher Key?
Then, a lowugh came from the other end of the phone. Why do I feel like Im talking to a pug? Qiao Mu was speechless. Was he mocking her? She was clearly being very respectful to her idol! However, Key actuallyughed.. This demonicughter was indeed worthy of her admiration! Chapter 576 - 576: Surprise Came Too Suddenly (2) Chapter 576 - 576: Surprise Came Too Suddenly (2)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu thought for a moment and said, Key teacher, youre my idol and talent scout. Its only right for me to be respectful to you! Calling your idol Gay? So this is how you respect your idol.
Qiao Mu was speechless. It was just a small misunderstanding! Key then hung up after saying, Come on time tomorrow. Qiao Mu put away her phone and saw Baby Guan sizing her up. Mu Mu, if your Young Master Li sees you talking to a man on the phone with such a nervous look, wont his jealousy jar flip over? Dont spout nonsense. Im just purely admiring my idol. Besides, my uncle isnt as petty as you make him out to be. Qiao Mu said the second half of the sentence without any confidence. Knowing Li Yans narrow-mindedness, she had told him that her Key was Gay. The next day, Qiao Mu arrived at Key Studio punctually. After knocking on the door and entering Keys office, Key gestured for Qiao Mu to sit on the sofa. Teacher Key, Qiao Mu sat down and asked, whats the matter? Key handed a fashion magazine to Qiao Mu. The name of this magazine was Key Fashion , and it was published once a month. It was a fashion magazine that Key Studio had withdrawn from, and the clothes in it could be said to drive the entire fashion trend. Qiao Mu would order this magazine every month, but this issue was published two days ago, which was the day after thepetition ended. She was busier after that and did not have the time to buy it.
Qiao Mu didnt understand why Key gave him the magazine. She casually flipped through two pages and was shocked to find that her entry had been published in the magazine. Then, Key said, The other contestants have their own teams andpanies that specially promote their works. For example, Ning Tongtong has Xinyu Clothing Company that has promoted her works. You are the only contestant without any backing, so Ive included your works in this magazine to see the results. The results are very satisfactory. Qiao Mu was extremely shocked. Teacher Key, isnt this treatment a little too good? After all, not just any outfit could be promoted by Key Fashion. No wonder her work was so popr. This was the reason! Key crossed his legs. Of course I didnt push you for nothing. I called you here today to talk to you about your work being released. Although these words were very tempting, Qiao Mu still spoke very rationally, Mr. Key, just like you said, I dont have a sponsor or an independent brand. How can I sell these clothes? Since Ive brought it up, I naturally have my own ideas. I want to include your work in the new autumn collection of the Key studio. You dont have a brand, so the brand can only be the Key brand. However, the clothing designer column will indicate your personal design. Qiao Mu felt like a pie had fallen from the sky, and she was momentarily unable to react. So, youre saying that you want to include my work under your brand? she asked for confirmation. Doesnt that mean that Ill be a designer under your brand?
The designers who joined the studio would not only enjoy a series of privileges such as promotion and publicity, but they could also develop their own branded clothing in private. It was the dream of many designers to be a designer under Key Studio. This was the treatment that only the champion of thepetition would receive! Key smirked. I gave you special treatment during thepetition. Some people already think that we have some kind of rtionship. If I let a university student with no results join my team, my fair image will be shattered.. Chapter 577 - 577: Paying Too Much Attention to Qjao Mu Chapter 577 - 577: Paying Too Much Attention to Qjao Mu
Trantor: 549690339 Hearing Keys words, Qiao Mu could not hide the disappointment in her heart. She said apologetically, Teacher Key, sorry for the trouble.
Theres no need for an apology. In the following matches, well see if you can sessfully join my team with your performance. The oue of thepetition will be decided. Qiao Mu nodded. Ill work hard. In the past, she did not have a chance. Now that she had such a good opportunity, she had to seize it! Regarding giarism, if you want to shut others up, you have to produce results. Teacher Key, thank you for believing in me. I will definitely defeat Ning Tongtong! Qiao Mu looked at Key with a determined gaze. Thats good. After Key finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something. Oh right, the Li Corporation is the sponsor for the finals. I dont know what rtionship you have with Li Yan, but I dont want the judges to cover up for the contestants again. You should understand what I mean. Dont worry, Im just a yer during thepetition. I have nothing to do with the sponsor. Qiao Mu understood that Key was hinting at her not to use the back door just because she was close to Li Yan. Key nodded. You can go now. Ill inform you about the final. Qiao Mu stood up and was about to leave when her gazended on the magazine on the coffee table. Teacher Key, can you give me this magazine? I didnt read this issue. Key raised his eyebrows. It seems like youre very concerned about my outfit. Of course. As long as its a fashion magazine or a runway show rted to
Teacher Key, I wont miss it. Key looked at the girl in front of him. His eyes were bright as he spoke, full of love for fashion design. Most of the fashion designers that he hade into contact with had slowly lost their most fundamental pursuit of fashion design, and from Qiao Mus eyes, he could see that her passion for fashion design and her unusual eye-catching expression were different from those designers who climbed up thedder for fame and fortune. Perhaps only someone like her who had her own heart could design good works. Seeing Key nod, Qiao Mu happily held the magazine in her hand. After bidding farewell to Key, she walked out. Just then, Amy came in from outside. Qiao Mu and Amy nodded politely before leaving. Amy was stunned for a moment when she saw the smile on Keys face. Looks like youre having a good chat with Qiao Mu. Key, are you paying too much attention to this girl? Now, hes giving her such a good opportunity. Others might even think that hes interested in this little girl Before she could finish her sentence, Key raised his head and nced at Amy. Amys lips twitched. I was just joking, but youre treating Qiao Mu too well. People will gossip about you. Whoever wants to say it, just say it. Key stood up disapprovingly and sat down at his desk. He just didnt want an outstanding designer to be buried. Whether it was from Qiao Mu or her works, he could see that her passion for fashion design was very precious. She might not be as professional as the other contestants, but her passion was enough to bring out her abilities to the extreme.
Amys eyes darkened when she saw Keys cold attitude. She had been by this mans side for so long, but this was the first time she had seen him so concerned and protective of a designer. It was obvious that Qiao Mu was different. In the past, there were many professional and powerful designers, but he had never seen him care so much. Moreover, he was a yer suspected of giarism.. Chapter 578 - 578: Passing By For A Free Meal Chapter 578 - 578: Passing By For A Free Meal
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu left Key Studio and took a taxi to Li Corporation. She had been staying in the dormitory for the past two days to make up for her missed lessons. Li Yan was very busy. After he came back from his business trip, he had a mountain of work to deal with, so he had no time to be dissatisfied with her.
In Li Yans office, Su Chen was sitting on the sofa, discussing business with Li Yan. Superintendent Ouyang was having a video conference with them from overseas, reporting the situation of the underground transaction. The chaotic matters abroad had stopped for a while, but trouble had appeared again. She was waiting for the boss in charge to go over and negotiate. After the meeting ended, Su Chen noticed that Li Yans gaze was on him. He spoke first, Big Brother, Ive been very busy recently. I cant leave. Li Yan looked at him coldly. Do you think I dont know about the Su Corporations situation? Youve cleaned up most of the dishonest things in your house. What else do you have to do? Its a private matter. Su Chen said briefly. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. It was indeed a good reason. After all, he had been through it himself. Naturally, he knew how important this private matter was. After thinking for a while, Li Yan said, Then arrange for Third Brother to go. I wont care about this matter. Su Chen nodded. He thought of something and asked, Big Brother, I heard that youre looking for Qiao Mus parents for her. You can ask my second uncle to investigate this matter at the police station. There might be some clues. Yes. Li Yan leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his brows. He asked Lei Yi to investigate, but there were no clues at all. It had been too long, and many people could not find anything. Suddenly, the office door was pushed open.
Qiao Mu stuck her little head into the door like a thief, acting sneakily. When she saw that there was someone else in the office, she was about to leave when she saw that it was Su Chen. She maintained her peeping posture and stared at Li Yan. Are you guys busy? wnen Ll yan saw wno It was, tne corners ot ms moutn curled up. youre like a doorman. Why are you standing at the door and noting in? If youre talking about serious matters, Ill wait outside. I wont go in and disturb you. Although she said that, her men had already stepped into the office. Our distinguished guests are here, Su Chen said with a smile. Even if were talking about serious matters, we have to stop. Qiao Mu paused in her steps. Were they really discussing business? Li Yan saw that the little woman wanted to avoid him and said helplessly, Were done. He waved at her. Why are you here now? Seeing him waving at her as if he was summoning a pet, she was very unwilling. There were other people present, so couldnt he show her some respect? Although she was unwilling, she still walked over obediently. I was passing by and wanted toe and ask you for a free meal.
Su Chen stood up. Big Brother, Ill be leaving first. Qiao Mu looked at the time and stopped him. Young Master Su, Xiaxia doesnt have ss today. Can you call her out and lets have dinner together? Su Chen raised his eyebrows. She doesnt have sses? Qiao Mu nodded. Yeah, when I came out, she was still lying in the dormitory, bored. If youre fine, Ill call her toe out. Li Yan narrowed his eyes. The little woman did not ask for his opinion and continued to invite others to eat with her. He hadnt seen her for a few days, and he didnt want to be disturbed while having a meal. He nced coldly at Su Chen. He thought that Su Chen would tactfully reject him, but Sister-inw invited me to dinner. Of course I cant refuse, Su Chen said lightly. Li Yans face darkened. Then, Su Chen sat back down on the sofa as if nothing had happened. [Theres still an update. It has to be after 12 0clock. You guys keep asking for Chi Xia and Su Chen. Ill satisfy you guys..] Chapter 579 - 579: Does Your Mother Know That You I re So Petty? Chapter 579 - 579: Does Your Mother Know That You I re So Petty?
Trantor: 549690339 Then, Qiao Mu called Chi Xia. Xiaxia,e out for lunch. Where is it?
Im at Li Yanspany. Su Chen is here too. Since youre free,e out and have dinner with me. Hearing this, the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment before a voice came out.Tell Su Chen that Im fine? Yeah, I thought you didnt have any sses? Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia felt a headacheing on. Gritting her teeth, she lowered her voice and said into the phone, Who says I dont have sses? I have sses! Youre telling me you dont have sses! Qiao Mu was still at a loss and had yet to react. . Dont tell me Su Chen is right next to you! Qiao Mu nced at Su Chen. Yes, hes here. Are you here to mess things up, mydy? Chi Xia sighed helplessly. I just told Su Chen that I have sses today and cant leave school. You told him that I dont have sses in the blink of an eye! I dont know. Qiao Mu thought about it and changed her tone. You actually have sses, so your sses were canceled? Alright, Su Chen will pick you upter. Qiao Mu then hung up the phone and smiled at Su Chen. I remembered wrongly. Xiaxia had a ss, but it was canceled at thest minute. This exnation sounded like it was trying to cover up the truth. Su Chen didnt say anything. He stood up and left to pick up Chi Xia. Qiao Mu sat beside Li Yan and asked curiously, Uncle, what do you think the two of them are fighting about?
Li Yan hooked his long arm and pressed Qiao Mu against his thigh. He wrapped her in his arms. Its rare to see you, but you keep talking about other peoples business. Do you need a lesson? What was rare? They had only not seen each other for two days! Qiao Mu wrapped her arms around Li Yans neck. Uncle, let me tell you about me. The clothes I designed will be released soon, and Key is going to include my work in the Key brand. Im so happy! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. So you went to meet your idol just now? The mans expression was indifferent, but there was a hint of imperceptible emotion in his eyes that immediately alerted Qiao Mu. She nodded and looked at him pitifully. She poked his chest with her finger. Uncle, youre not jealous of a Gay, are you? Does your mother know that youre so petty? Li Yan stared at her helplessly. He looked at her innocent face, hugged her head, and kissed her deeply. T University. Chi Xia braced herself and got into Su Chens car. The man at the side drove without saying a word. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. In the morning, he called and asked her to have dinner with him. In order to reject him, she could only lie that she had sses and could not leave.
However, he had been exposed so quickly! This bad friend of Qiao Mus was really good at finding trouble for her. Su Chen did not say anything, and Chi Xia did not know how to speak either, so the atmosphere was awkward. Su Chen stopped the car at a red light. He pursed his lips into a thin line and turned to look at the woman beside him. Chi Xia, dont you have anything to say to me? Chi Xia lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, lm sorry. Sorry? Apologize to him for lying? Su Chen frowned. I want to have a meal with my girlfriend, and I have to ask someone to invite you out. Youre really giving me face! Girlfriend This was the first time she had heard this word from his mouth. It felt so unfamiliar. Previously, he had always said that she was his woman. This address was so domineering that it made her feel ufortable.. Chapter 580 - 580: This Man Is Very Thoughtful Sometimes Chapter 580 - 580: This Man Is Very Thoughtful Sometimes
Trantor: 549690339 In fact, she had been keeping a friendly distance from him during this period of time. It was like the time when he lost control of himself. It never happened again, mainly because they never spent the night together again. After Qiao Musstpetition ended, she had dinner with him and had sses in the afternoon, so he sent her back to school. Actually, thinking about it, they got along quite well.
Today, she had her period. When she received his call in the morning, she was not feeling well. She could not tell him the reason directly, so she lied that she had sses. She did not deliberately avoid him. But looking at him, he was indeed angry. Chi Xia thought about it and said, Im not feeling well today, so I lied. Im sorry. Sorry again! Su Chens face turned cold. Your illness came and went quickly. Youre cured in the blink of an eye? His tone was strange. It was obvious that he did not believe her. Her stomach was still hurting. If her lie had not been exposed, she really would not havee out. Seeing his sullen face as if she had done something terribly wrong, Chi Xia red at him. Im really not feeling well! However, a certain man stared ahead and focused on driving, ignoring her exnation. Chi Xia had a bad temper during her period. At this moment, she felt a wave of frustration burning in her heart. If she didnt believe her, then so be it! She did not need him to believe her!
The car stopped in front of the restaurant. Chi Xia got out of the car and saw the man striding towards the restaurant. He was the one who wanted her toe out for dinner, but she endured the difort in her body and came out. In the end, he even showed her his face! Did he think he was a boss? It had been like this from the beginning. After they had sex, he acted as if she was forcing him. With just one sentence from him, she became his girlfriend. Why did he want to be with her? He didnt look like a boyfriend! Looking at the mans back, Chi Xia stood rooted to the ground. The pain in her stomach intensified and she squatted down to relieve it. Su Chen took a few steps and realized that the woman behind him was not following him. He turned around and saw her squatting on the ground, looking like she was in pain. He turned around and walked quickly to her. Whats wrong? My stomach hurts. She raised her head to look at him, looking very upset. She didnt look like she was faking it. Su Chen quickly realized what was going on. The frustration in her heart lessened a little. It seemed that she was indeed not feeling well. Just as Chi Xia was crouching to ease the pain, she heard a mans voice above her head, Get up, lets go to the dining room first.
She looked up and saw the man reaching out his hand to her. She was stunned and hesitated for a moment before reaching out and holding his hand. Actually, this man was really considerate sometimes. Chi Xia was quietly led into the dining room by Su Chen. The mans hand was broad and warm, and she was a little dazed by this feeling. After entering the private room, Qiao Mu saw the two of them holdinz hands, and the smile on her face was extremely bright. Youre finally here! Im starving. You made me wait for so long. Young Master Su, you must treat me to this meal! No problem. Su Chen said. Chi Xia secretly red at Qiao Mu. This fellow was still smiling after causing her trouble! Qiao Mu panicked at Chi Xias re. Xiaxia, why are you ring at me? Are you not happy that Young Master Su is treating you? Chi Xia was speechless. After that, they started to order. Qiao Mu held the menu and discussed with Chi Xia, Spicy crayfish? NO!? The two men denied it almost at the same time. [Todays update is over..

Trantor: 549690339 Youre a little inmed because of thepetition, Li Yan said calmly. You cant eat spicy food, remember? Qiao Mu pursed her lips and looked at Su Chen. Young Master Su, why cant you do it too? Is Xiaxias throat inmed too?
Chi Xias expression was a little unnatural. Even she herself did not realize that she could not eat spicy food when she was on her period. However, Su Chen noticed it. Seeing Qiao Mus gossipy face, Chi Xia could not help but re at her. Hurry up and continue ordering. Qiao Mu smiled sneakily as her gaze darted between the two people in front of her. She had forgotten about Chi Xias health at first, but now she had figured it out. It seemed like Su Chen was quite attentive to Chi Xia. For the next meal, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia chatted while eating. Compared to their noise, the two men beside them were much quieter. Mu Mu, why did Key look for you today? Chi Xia asked. Qiao Mu took a sip of water and said excitedly, He wants to include my semi-final work into the Key brand. So, your work is going to be released? Qiao Mu nodded. Keys efficiency is very high. Itll probably be released next week. Chi Xia held a ss of water. Here, cheers. Congrattions on taking another step towards your dream! Li Yan looked at the excited little woman. It seems like my personal designer will be born soon? Qiao Mu became smug. Of course! Dont worry, uncle. Ill definitely dress you up to be handsome and charming.
Arent you afraid that Young Master Li is so charming that a group of women will chase after him? Chi Xiaughed. Its not a big deal. If someone were to chase after him, Ill trip them. Besides, my uncle has long legs. No one can chase him. Others couldnt get her, but how did you do it? Su Chen asked calmly. Because my endurance is strong. I cantpete with speed, but I canpete with endurance! He had been wooing her since she was five years old. After so many years, was it easy for her? Li Yans lips curled up when he saw Qiao Mus arrogant behavior. He reached out to grab Qiao Mus hand that was ced under the table. Qiao Mu was stunned when her hand was suddenly grabbed from below. She raised her head and met the mans gaze, and her face involuntarily turned red. His gaze was burning as if he wanted to eat her up. This man really showed his emotions regardless of the asion. Chi Xia watched the two of them unt their affection and shook her head helplessly. There was no more water in the cup, so she reached for the teapot. Just as she touched the teapot, arge hand was one step ahead of her and picked up the kettle. Seeing that Su Chen was about to pour her a ss of water, Chi Xia quickly reached out her hand. Ill do it myself. Su Chen lowered his eyes. She covered his hand with her hand, trying to take the kettle away from him.
Through the touch of her skin, he could feel the slight coldness of her fingers. He frowned slightly but did not let go. Chi Xia held onto the water bottle for a long time, but the man did not seem to have any intention of letting go. He just stared at her without moving and was in a deadlock with her. Unwilling to give up, she tugged hard, wanting to snatch it from his hand. This tug identally knocked over the cup, and a small amount of water spilled on her legs. She hurriedly wiped her face with a tissue, looking extremely embarrassed. Im going to the washroom. Chi Xia stood up and left. Qiao Mu and Li Yan were exchanging flirtatious nces just now, so she did not notice the situation here. Seeing Su Chens slightly cold expression, Qiao Mu thought for a moment and reminded him, Young Master Su, Xiaxia is a girl. You should give in to her. You should learn from your brother.. Chapter 582 - 582: Gu Cheng’s Fiancée Chapter 582 - 582: Gu Chengs Fiance
Trantor: 549690339 Su Chen raised his eyebrows. I know shes a girl. I dont have the habit of dating boys. Qiao Mu was speechless.
Was this the main point? As expected of brothers, their mouths were merciless! Qiao Mu pretended to be wronged and leaned against Li Yan. Uncle, he bullied me. Li Yan patted the little womans head. Be good. He needs to be taught a lesson. Someone will teach him a lesson. Su Chen was speechless. Big Brother, is it really good for you to be unable to differentiate right from wrong? Qiao Mu immediately understood what Li Yan meant. He was saying that Chi Xia would make conditions for him! In an instant, Qiao Mu grinned. Her youngest uncle was still the best! Chi Xia came out of the washroom and was greeted by a woman. The woman walked past her and suddenly stopped. Hello, youre Chi Xia, right? ? Chi Xia was stunned. She turned around and looked at him. He was about 20 years old and was sizing her up.
Do you know me? Chi Xia asked curiously. My name is Mirou. You might not know me. Ive seen your photo on Gu Chengs phone, but that was a long time ago. Although your photo on his phone has been deleted, I remembered it because youre beautiful. Mirous words made Chi Xias face darken. Although the other party greeted her with a smile, her tone contained hostility. No matter how stupid she was, she could guess the identity of this woman. When she went overseas to look for Gu Cheng, she was discovered by this woman, but she did not meet this woman. It was this woman who called to tell her the truth. Before Chi Xia could reply, Mi Rou smiled and said, Do you think its strange that Im saying this right from the start? Im Gu Chengs fiance, and youre his ex-girlfriend. Its normal for me to pay more attention to you. I really didnt expect to have the chance to meet you in person. Actually, youre even more beautiful than in the photo. Gu Cheng really has high standards. The girlfriends he dated before are not bad in appearance. They didnt disappoint me. If he randomly finds a girlfriend with average looks, Ill be furious. Chi Xia felt disgusted when she heard the other partys words. How could a normal woman react like this when she saw her fiancs ex-girlfriend? Moreover, Gu Cheng was dating her when he already had a fiance. She did not believe that Mi Rou would not care. This Mi Rous behavior meant that she was either really naive and stupid, or she was scheming! Chi Xias face was cold. She had nothing to say to Mirou and turned to leave. Hey, dont go. Mi Rou stopped Chi Xia and said warmly, You dont seem to like me? Could it be that you havent forgotten Gu Cheng? Miss Chi, youve already let go of Gu Cheng. Dont waste your time on someone you cant have. Hurry up and let go.
Chi Xia looked at her impatiently. Miss Mirou, I dont know you. Please dont act so familiar with me. Please make way. You dont have to be so fierce, do you? Youve upied my fiance for so long, but Im not angry with you. Whats there to be angry about? Mirous warm smile turned cold. Or are you the third party? You dont have the face to face Chi Xia clenched her fists tightly and looked up at Mi Rou coldly. So, youre here to denounce me? Then I can tell you clearly that if I knew that Gu Cheng had a fiance, even if he knelt down and begged me, I would not be with him! When I found out about your existence, I had already cut ties with him. If you hate this matter, you can go and settle the score with him.. What does it have to do with me? Chapter 583 - 583: A White Lotus Flower Chapter 583 - 583: A White Lotus Flower
Trantor: 549690339 Mirous expression changed. Her previous gentleness had long disappeared. She gave Chi Xia a sarcastic smile. You put it nicely to cover up your modesty as a third party. Youve turned your back on her after breaking up with her. Youre so harsh. Do you dare to say that you werent enjoying yourself when you were under Gu Cheng? You must have experienced Ah Chengs skills. I just dont know if his performance is the same when hes with me and when hes with you.
Mi Rou stood in front of Chi Xia, blocking her way. Chi Xia did not want to waste any more words with her, so she pushed her away. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Mirous low cry and she crashed into the wall. Chi Xia frowned. She gently pushed Mi Rou to the side to make way for her, but she hit the wall instead! There was no one around. Who was she showing off to? At this moment, a voice sounded from the end of the corridor. Xiaxia, what are you doing? This voice Chi Xias face darkened. She turned around coldly and saw Gu Cheng walking towards her. No wonder! Chi Xia could not help but admire Gu Chengs fiance. She was indeed not an ordinary person! Gu Cheng walked over quickly and held onto Mirou. She looked at Chi Xia with aplicated expression. Xiaxia, even if youre angry at me, you can vent it on me. Rourou is innocent. Xiao Rou? He called her so affectionately!
Mi Rou tugged at Gu Chengs sleeve. Ah Cheng, its okay. I was the one who took the initiative to greet Miss Chi. I know she doesnt like me. I just want to make things clear with her. Chi Xia rolled her eyes at the big white lotus. Miss Mi, since you know that youre not wee, why are you asking for trouble in front of me? This man has nothing to do with me now. Youve put in so much effort, why dont you put in more effort on him! Chi Xia left after saying that. Gu Cheng, who was behind her, grabbed her wrist. Xiaxia, can you talk to me calmly? Its really not what you think. Ive been dealing with my family matters these past few days. Ill be done soon. Can you give me some time? Chi Xia shook off Gu Chengs hand forcefully. Please dont pull me in front of your fiance. Shell misunderstand. Gu Cheng, why dont you understand? Weve already cut ties! No, I know that youve been lying to me about what happened before. Even if its true, I dont care. As long as youe back and be with me Enough! Chi Xias anger surged in an instant, and she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. Even if they were separated, she still wanted to seal away the beautiful memories of the past. However, every time this man appeared, he could break the beauty in her heart! Mi Rou looked coldly at Gu Cheng and Chi Xia tugging at each other. A trace of ruthlessness shed across her eyes. She stepped forward and pretended to be concerned about Chi Xia. Miss Chi, your attitude towards Ah Cheng is too much. You dont know that even though were engaged, he still misses you. Even though they were engaged, he still missed her! These words were obviously hinting to her that she was the third party!
Chi Xia took a deep breath. Gu Cheng, I dont want to fall out with you. If you still want to be shameless, then take your fiance and disappear from my sight! Chi Xia turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly saw Su Chen appear in front of her.. Chapter 584 - 584: Who Do You Think You Are? Chapter 584 - 584: Who Do You Think You Are?
Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia was stunned. She lowered her head and walked up to Su Chen. Why are you here? Su Chen didnt answer Chi Xias question. He nced coldly at Gu Cheng and then at the woman beside Gu Chen.
He held Chi Xias hand and did not turn around to leave. Instead, he walked straight to Gu Cheng. Chi Xia did not know what he was going to do. She tugged at him gently, wanting him to leave. However, she tightened her grip on her hand, not allowing her to struggle. Su Chen looked at Gu Cheng coldly and said in a cold tone, I seem to have reminded you not to touch my woman, but you didnt seem to remember. Gu Cheng looked at the two of them holding hands and felt that it was very ring. Then, she looked at Chi Xias cold eyes and her expression was very hurt. He didnt recognize this man before, but heter found out that he was the CEO of the Su Family Enterprise, Su Chen. He was a famous figure in the capital! Why was his Xiaxia with this man? Gu Cheng looked back at Su Chen. Young Master Su, this is a private matter between Xiaxia and me. Please dont interfere. Oh? Private matters? Su Chen curled his lips coldly and looked down at Chi Xia with a questioning gaze, Are there any private matters between you and him that you havent rified? Chi Xias voice was indifferent. No. Su Chen was very satisfied with this answer.
Mi Rou thought that Chi Xias love for Gu Cheng was a huge hindrance to her, but she did not expect that this woman already had a new boyfriend! Mi Rous face darkened when she saw Su Chen. Why was this woman able to find such a handsome boyfriend again while she had to suffer the pain that she brought? Even when she set up a trap for Gu Cheng to have sex with her, Gu Cheng was still calling out this womans name! Chi Xia was a third party who interfered in someone elses rtionship! What right did she have to break someone elses engagement, but in the end, she hooked up with a tall, rich, and handsome man again? Mi Rou took a step forward and grabbed Gu Chengs arm. Ah Cheng, she already has a new boyfriend. Dont be sad for her. Shes not worthy of you treating her like this. As she spoke, Mi Rou looked at Chi Xia. Miss Chi, because of you, Ah Cheng has already decided to cancel the engagement with my family. You broke our engagement, yet youre happily with someone else. Are you letting Ah Cheng down? Chi Xias face turned cold. She broke their engagement? She had really seen how powerful Gu Chengs fiance was. She kept implying that she was the third party. Hearing Mi Rous words, Su Chen narrowed his eyes and his expression darkened. He nced coldly at the annoying woman. Do you have a problem with us being together? Mi Rou looked at Su Chen. Sir, you probably dont know this, but Chi Xia is the third party in our engagement. My fianc wanted to break off the engagement because of her, but she ended up being with you heartlessly. Youd better consider this kind of woman carefully! Su Chen curled his lips coldly, but there was no smile in his eyes. His voice was bone-chilling. My woman, do I need you to criticize her? Who do you think you are? His words made Mi Rous face turn pale.
How could a mistress be protected like this! Gu Cheng looked dispirited. Rourou, stop talking. Ah Cheng, what does a woman like her like about her? Chi Xia felt her stomach ache again. She looked up at Su Chen expressionlessly and pleaded, Lets go. She really didnt want to stay any longer. The trace of feelings she had for Gu Cheng hadpletely worn off.. Chapter 585 - 585: Help You Fall in Love With Someone Else Chapter 585: Help You Fall in Love With Someone Else Trantor: 549690339 Su Chen looked away coldly and turned around with Chi Xia. Xiaxia Gu Chengs voice came from behind. Su Chen stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at the man who was in pain. Im warning you onest time. This woman is mine. Dont let me see you touch my woman again! Also As Su Chen spoke, his cold eyes swept over Mi Rou. If someone dares to nder my woman, I cant guarantee that I wont do something that will make them speechless forever. The mans voice was gloomy and carried a hint of killing intent. Mi Rou could not help but shiver. Su Chen didnt stay and left with Chi Xia. A conversation sounded behind him. Chen Chen, since she has a change of heart, dont think about her anymore. You dont have to worry about me and Xiaxia! Dont need me to care? Chen Chen, Im already yours. In order to fulfill your wish, Id rather let go of you, but now youre ming me. Is it worth it for such a woman? You Stop talking! Chi Xia bit her lip and tried her best to walk forward as if nothing had happened. He couldnt describe the feeling in his heart. The bone-piercing pain had long since disappeared. However, when he faced such an unbearable reality, his heart still felt a little sour. Is that man that sad? A mans voice sounded above her head. Thinking about other people in front of your man. Do you treat me like air? Chi Xia raised her head in shock and met the mans gloomy gaze. She bit her lip and retorted in a low voice, You seem to have forgotten that you were the one who told me to forget him! Shouldnt you me yourself for not doing it? Su Chen narrowed his eyes. This woman actually knew how to refute her words. He thought that she was a rock in front of him! Su Chen smirked and turned around, pressing Chi Xia against the wall. Chi Xia widened her eyes and was about to ask him what he was doing when she saw the mans face approaching her. And thenShe was kissed! She reacted and pushed him hard, but all her struggles were useless in front of him. Chen Just as she opened her mouth, the mans tongue took advantage of the situation and invaded her domineeringly, doing whatever he wanted in her mouth. For a moment, Chi Xias mind went nk. The number of times she had actually kissed this man was extremely few. Although they were officially together, apart from the one time they had sex after drinking, she had always kept a distance from him. At most, they would just hold hands and not do anything else. However, at this moment, she was suddenly kissed by him forcefully. Her mind was in a daze. The man seemed to have sensed that she wasnt paying attention. He left her lips and said in a low voice, Didnt you ask me to help you change your love? Focus! Shifting love? Could he not use random words? Then, Su Chen did not give her a chance to be distracted and increased the intensity of the kiss. On the other side, Qiao Mu had her fill and asked the man beside her in confusion, Why isnt Xiaxia back yet? Su Chen is gone too. Did these two do something bad? Li Yans lips curled up. Little thing, who taught you to keep thinking about these messy things? You dont have the innocence that you should have at your age. Qiao Mu was speechless. What should she do? She really wanted to curse! She wasnt innocent? Who taught her to be like this? He was the culprit, alright? Besides, she didnt say anything! Li Yan raised his eyebrows when he saw the little womans flushed face and angry look.. What? Do you have a problem with your mans words? Chapter 586 - 586: Progress in Relationship (1) Chapter 586: Progress in Rtionship (1) Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu pursed her lips and snorted. I know you despise me! Li Yan caressed her head andforted her, Youre thinking too much. Why would I despise you? I like lecherous people like you. . Lust your sister! However, this man had been fondling her head recently, treating her like a child. At this moment, Su Chen and Chi Xia returned. Chi Xias face was red. Su Chen held her hand as if nothing had happened and sat her down. Qiao Mu sized Chi Xia up with a flirtatious look in her eyes. You went to the washroom. What did you do there? Why is your face red? No, queue up. Chi Xia casually gave ame excuse. Since Su Chen was present, Qiao Mu did not pursue the matter. After the meal, when they parted ways, Qiao Mu pulled Chi Xia aside and asked, Tell me honestly, what bad things did you do when you went to the bathroom? Chi Xia sighed and lost to her curiosity. She didnt n to hide this from her anyway, so she said directly, saw Gu Cheng. Qiao Mu was stunned. Gu Cheng has returned to the country? Hes back in the country a long time ago. I didnt tell you, but Ive already seen him once thest time. As Chi Xia spoke, she met Qiao Mus worried gaze and smiled. Im fine. Dont you think Im doing fine now? Su Chen knows? Yes, he knows everything about me. Its impossible between Gu Cheng and me. Its all in the past. Qiao Mu was relieved to see that Chi Xias expression did not change. Thats good then. You and Su Chen have to be good. Hes not bad. Everything was fine with Su Chen? Chi Xia smiled bitterly. She and Su Chen were so confused that she did not know what to do next. In order not to make Qiao Mu worry, Chi Xia jokingly changed the topic. I think youre just trying to love me and my dog. Anyone whos rted to Li Yan is not bad. However, Qiao Mu wasnt fooled by her joke. Her expression was very serious. Xiaxia, no matter what, I hope you can be happy. No one can guarantee that the first person you meet will be the right person. I watched you and Gu Chenge here. Hes already in the past. You cant stop yourself from meeting the next happiness. As an outsider, Qiao Mu saw it very clearly. Although people like Su Chen appeared to be calm on the surface, they were actually like Li Yan. They were high and mighty people who could distinguish between likes and dislikes. When it came to people or things that they did not like, they were always so cold that no one could get close to them. For example, Su Chens attitude towards Qiao Ya was that he was not interested in her, so he could not even be bothered to give her a good look. After this period of observation, Qiao Mu realized that Su Chens attitude toward Chi Xia waspletely different. Although he looked cold on the surface and could not be said to be very passionate, from the way he behaved in such small details, it was obvious that Su Chen was not being casual with Chi Xia. After they parted ways, Qiao Mu followed Li Yan back to hispany. It was rare for her to have nothing to do. so she spent all her time with him- Chi Xia left with Su Chen. In the car, Su Chen looked at Chi Xia and asked, No sses today? Chi Xia nodded and Su Chen continued, Then Ill send you to my ce. I have something to do at thepany and cant send you back in time. Wait for me at my ce first. If you have something to do, just drop me off by the roadside. I can go back to school by myself. I dont have the habit of leaving my woman by the roadside. Su Chen turned to look at Chi Xias hesitant and guarded face. His eyes darkened unhappily. You dont have to look like youve entered a wolfs den. Ill send you back to school after work. [My head is in a mess from staying up all night. Im still two chapters away. Ill resume my normal work schedule tomorrow and make up for what Im missing..] Chapter 587 - 587: Progress in Relationship (2) Chapter 587 - 587: Progress in Rtionship (2)
Trantor: 549690339 Su Chen red at Chi Xia coldly. This woman had no self-awareness to be with him! She was always on guard against him, as if he could eat her up! Chi Xia felt awkward after hearing Su Chens words.
However, going to his house was akin to entering a wolfs den. Suddenly, the car stopped. Chi Xia looked up at Su Chen and saw him unbuckle his belt, open the car door and say, Wait for me in the car. Then, Chi Xia saw Su Chen enter the pharmacy. Su Chen walked around the pharmacy and came to the health care products section. He bought a bottle of brown sugar. Brown sugar was more effective than brown sugar and could effectively relieve womens menstrual cramps. If he wanted to know how Su Chen knew, he would have to search online. When he was queuing up to pay the bill, he saw snacks on the shelf at the side. He casually picked up a few packets and saw a row of lollipops. He thought of how his eldest brother had asked Lu Jingzhi to go all over the city to buy these lollipops in order to coax Qiao Mu back then. After that, Qiao Mu ate them very happily. Since Qiao Mu liked it, Chi Xia would probably like it too. He took a few lollipops, quickly paid the bill, and returned to the car. Chi Xia was looking down at her phone when she heard the sound. She raised her head and saw a shopping bag on herp. She looked down and saw snacks, candy, and a bottle of ck stuff. She had no idea what it was. Is this for me? she asked nkly as she looked at him.
She felt a little stupid when she asked that question. If he didnt give it to her, who else could he give it to? Su Chen frowned. If you dont want it, leave it there! Chi Xia pouted and lowered her head, Thank you. Su Chens expression turned a little better after hearing her words. At least she knew what was good for her! The car was parked downstairs. Su Chen turned to look at Chi Xia. The passcode to the door is 871021. Im not going up. Wait for me toe back. Dont leave if theres nothing important. Chi Xia nodded and went upstairs with the bag. Chi Xias figure disappeared into the corridor, but the car parked outside did not leave. Su Chen took out his phone and logged into the fruit website. He chose a bunch of fruits and ced an order before starting the car and leaving. Actually, there was nothing urgent in thepany. He just didnt want to send Chi Xia back.
This woman had always maintained a rtionship with him. In front of him, even if she was unwilling, she would reluctantly listen to him. However, once she returned to school, shepletely ignored him. She called her to ask her out for dinner, either because she had sses or club activities. In short, she had a bunch of reasons to avoid him. Su Chen had never known that a girlfriends purpose was to annoy people! Now, she could finally understand her eldest brother and Qiao Mus state. Su Chens phone rang. He looked down at the caller ID, narrowed his cold eyes, and pressed the answer button. On the other end of the phone, a womans voice could be heard. Chen Chen, its Mom. The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Come home and celebrate the festival with your Uncle Sun and me. The family will be lively. Su Chen said coldly, lm not free. Chen Chen Im busy. Im hanging up. Su Chen hung up the phone after saying that. Chi Xia entered the house and walked around the huge room. She had been here twice before and had never looked around carefully. The house was a double-story apartment, and the two floorsbined were about 300 square meters. The interior design of the house was obviously specially designed by a designpany. Every piece of furniture and decoration was well-made.
However, there was no smell of home. There were all kinds of famous paintings hanging in the room, not even a single photo. Chi Xia was thirsty and wanted to drink some water. When she entered the kitchen, it was empty. There were no pots and pans.. Chapter 588 - 588: Progress in Relationship (3) Chapter 588 - 588: Progress in Rtionship (3)
Trantor: 549690339 Obviously, this was not Su Chens usual ce. Perhaps it was because it was close to hispany, so he would asionallye over to spend the night. Chi Xia boiled some water and turned on the television. She remembered the snacks that Su Chen had bought for her. She opened the shopping bag and took out the bottle of thick ck liquid. She then scanned the QR code on her phone and realized that it was ck sugar.
After checking the detailed information, Chi Xia was stunned when she saw the words relieve menstrual pain on the description. This man was actually so thoughtful! Chi Xia did not expect that the arrogant man who never took others seriously would care about such trivial matters. At this moment, the doorbell rang. Chi Xia was shocked. Was Su Chen back? She ran to the door to look at the surveince video outside and saw a person standing outside holding a box of fruit. He was wearing work clothes and seemed to be here to deliver goods. She hesitated for a moment before opening the door. The delivery man smiled and said,This is the fruit that Mr. Su ordered. Please sign for it. After Chi Xia signed for it, she closed the door and opened the fruit box. It was filled with a variety of fruits. Chi Xia stared at the fruits, snacks, and ck sugar in a daze for a while. She could not describe what she was feeling. After thinking for a while, she sent a message to Su Chen. I received the fruits. Thank you. At this time, Su Chen had already arrived at thepany. When he saw the message, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Chi Xia spent the entire afternoon eating fruits and snacks while watching TV, killing time in boredom. She was so bored that she fell asleep on the sofa. Her phone was identally muted. When Su Chen called, she was still sound asleep. After Su Chen got off work, he called Chi Xia on his way back. However, Chi Xia did not pick up and her phone was turned off! His originally good mood suddenly became terrible! If this woman dared to sneak back to school without a word, he would definitely go to her school and bring her back! However, when Su Chen opened the door gloomily, he heard the sound of the television. He frowned and walked past the entrance. Looking at the living room, he saw a slender body curled up on the sofa with a pillow in her arms. She was sleeping very unsightly. On the coffee table, there were a few fruit tes. Strawberries, blueberries, peaches, and other fruits were washed and ced on the tes. He opened a few bags of snacks and brown sugar. Everything was in order. In an instant, Su Chens tightly knitted brows rxed. The feeling of being affected by someone made him very ufortable. When Chi Xia woke up in a daze, she saw the sky outside the window turning dark.
She was stunned for a moment before she propped herself up and looked up to see Su Chen sitting beside her. Youre finally willing to wake up? Su Chen nced at Chi Xia. Her face was wrinkled by thece on the edge of the bolster, making her look ratherical. Chi Xia reacted and eximed, You When did youe back? Why didnt you wake me up? Su Chen put down the tablet in his hand and said calmly, You were sleeping like a pig, so I didnt want to wake you up. Embarrassed? What was there to be embarrassed about? That was not the main point. The main point was that he had called her a pig! Chi Xia immediately stood up and tidied her clothes. Then, will you send me back to school now? Su Chens face darkened and he said coldly, lve already ordered takeout. Ill leave after eating.. Chapter 589 - 589: Progress in Relationship (4) Chapter 589 - 589: Progress in Rtionship (4)
Trantor: 549690339 But She wanted to say that she would bete after dinner, but before she could say anything, he red at her coldly. She could only nod and do as he said. The takeout arrived very quickly. Chi Xia went to the kitchen and rummaged through the cab. She took out a few tes and poured the food out before cing it on the dining table.
As they ate, the atmosphere became awkward. Chi Xia found a topic to talk about and asked, Do you not stay here often? The kitchen is empty, and theres nothing in the fridge. Su Chen replied with an Mm. He looked at Chi Xia calmly. If you feel that youre missing anything, you can help me make up for it. After youre done, you can ask me for reimbursement. No, its quite good. He treated her like a nanny and even asked her to help him with the household items. After Chi Xia said that, Su Chen red at her coldly and she quickly changed her words, You dont live here often, and the kitchen doesnt cook. Its useless to buy those things. How do you know I dont stay here often? Su Chen was a little unhappy because of her rejection. He thought about it and said, Ille over to sleep when I have social events. If I dont, Ill go home for dinner. I live here four or five days a week. If I can cook here, I wont go home. Not going home? Dont you like living with your parents? Chi Xia asked casually and saw the mans expression turn cold. She didnt know what she said wrong. Then, she heard Su Chen say coldly, My dad passed away. Im sorry. Chi Xia lowered her head and apologized. What about your mother? she asked. She remarried. Su Chen said casually, So, other than the servants, Im the only one at home. Chi Xia didnt know about Su Chens private affairs. She thought that he was a young master who was high and mighty outside and everything was under his control. Presumably, if he went home alone, he would rathere back here. The house was smaller, and his heart was not as empty.
After some thought, Chi Xia raised her head and smiled at Su Chen. Then Ill help you make up for the things youre missing when Im free. If you dont want to go home in the future, you can ask your servant to cook for you. Itll be more convenient that way. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. A certain emotion shed through his heart, so fast that he couldnt catch it. He put down his chopsticks and stared at the smile on her face. His tone was so confident. Youre my girlfriend. Shouldnt you be the one cooking and taking care of me? Do you think Im a free nanny? If I spend money to hire a nanny like you, wouldnt that be a bad deal? Chi Xia was speechless. She was the one at a disadvantage, alright? After dinner, Chi Xia sat on the sofa and ate some fruit when thendline phone rang. Su Chen wasnt in the living room, so she heard the man shout, Answer the phone. Chi Xia picked up the call and answered with a Hello . She felt the other end of the line quiet for a while before asking, lm looking for Chen Chen. You are? It was a womans voice. Chi Xia thought about it and replied, lm the nanny. Its not convenient for Mr. Smith to answer the phone now. Im her mother. Help me tell him toe home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After hanging up, Chi Xia turned around and saw Su Chen standing behind her. She was shocked. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. It seems like youre very familiar with the role of a nanny. Chi Xia smiled awkwardly. Your mother called just now and asked you toe home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. She guessed that this man did not want to go to his stepfathers ce to celebrate.. Chapter 590 - 590: The First Festival With Uncle (1) Chapter 590 - 590: The First Festival With Uncle (1)
Trantor: 549690339 After some thought, Chi Xia said carefully, The Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival. You should go home and celebrate with your mother. Su Chen raised an eyebrow and bent down to hook her chin. What, you want to meddle in my familys business now?
Im just giving you some advice. If you dont want to listen, then forget it. Chi Xia pushed away his hand that was pinching her chin and stood up. Its gettingte. You should send me back to school. Su Chen looked at her. Youre going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Im not going home. School Before Chi Xia could finish her sentence, Su Chen interrupted her. Since youre not going home, then you can spend the rest of your life with me. Chi Xia immediately shook her head. We have an event at school, so we cante out. Then think of a way to get out! Then, this matter was settled! Su Chen sent Chi Xia back to school. Before he left, he threatened, 1f I dont see you that day, I dont minding to your school to arrest you. Chi Xia was speechless. This bastard! The day before the Mid -Autumn Festival, Li Yan was silently preparing for the festival. Yu Yiduo wanted to take responsibility for this important matter, but Li Yan rejected her.
Yu Yiduo didnt understand why her son was so concerned about this festival. She ran to Li Zheng and asked, What do you think is wrong with our son? I havent seen him celebrate any festivals in so many years. Why does he care so much about the Mid-Autumn Festival? Li Zheng looked at his wifes brainless expression at the critical moment and reminded her helplessly,lsnt there an extra person this year? His words woke Yu Yiduo up. In Qiao Mus mind, she would ignore festivals if she could. After more than ten years, she hated festivals the most. Every time there was a festival, other families would be happy and happy, but she would always have to go back to the Qiao family and suffer. Every time, she would have a hasty meal, lock herself in her room, sit on the balcony, and eat a mooncake as if it was a proper thing to do while admiring the moon alone. However, this year, she was able to spend it with Li Yan. Thinking about it, she was quite happy. Early in the morning, Qiao Mu woke upfortably, but the man beside her was no longer there. She got up and pulled open the curtains, but she was stunned when she saw the scene before her. In the front yard, there was a rope hanging in the air. There were all kinds of colorful lights hanging on the rope. The scene was very festive. What surprised Qiao Mu even more was that the person hanging the colorful lights was Li Yan! The tall man stepped on the shortdder, took thentern from the butler, and hung it on the rope.
She had to admit that no matter what this man did, he was always so elegant and charming. It was as if he was born with an irresistible charm. His every move was enough to make people fall for him. At this moment, Li Yan noticed the person standing by the window from the corner of his eye. He stopped what he was doing and waved at her. Qiao Mu didnt have time to wash up. She quickly changed her clothes and rushed downstairs. Li Yan looked at the little womans excited expression and came down from thedder. Do you like thisntern? Yes! Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. Uncle, let me help you! Lets go back to the room and eat first. Im not hungry Im hungry. As Li Yan spoke, he held her hand and walked into the house. Ill let you do whatever you want after dinner. Qiao Mu was so excited that she could not care less about the people around her and pounced on Li Yan. Uncle, youre really too good! Hisrge hand pinched her cheek. Its good that you know. Yu Yiduo, who happened to be downstairs, saw this scene and quickly walked forward. Her demonic ws reached for Qiao Mus face. Mumu, let Mommy pinch your little face too. He cant be the only one whos pinching it.
Qiao Mu was speechless.. Chapter 591 - 591: The First Festival With Uncle (2) Chapter 591 - 591: The First Festival With Uncle (2)
Trantor: 549690339 After breakfast, Qiao Mu and Li Yan hung up colorful lights together. Li Yan was worried that Qiao Mu would have to step on thedder to hang thenterns, so he would stand by her side every time she went up thedder to prevent her from falling off.
Qiao Mu sat on thedder with antern in her hand as she shouted at Li Yan, Uncle, take a photo of me. Li Yan had no choice but to raise his phone and take a picture of Qiao Mu. After taking a picture, Qiao Mu snatched the phone away and frowned. This one doesnt look good. Lets take another one. This one doesnt look good either, Qiao Mu said after Li Yan was done. Lets take another one. Its not good. Uncle, take a few more photos. After that, Qiao Mu posed in all sorts of poses, and Li Yan took a bunch of photos. Finally, Li Yan stopped filming. I think youre just saying that its not good looking to find an excuse. Youre treating me as your photographer. No, look at the photo. It really doesnt look good. Li Yan looked at the little woman on the phone screen. She was smiling so happily. Sometimes, she was holding her hands in a scissors position, and sometimes, she was pouting. She looked so cute that he could not help but want to kiss her. He raised his head and met the little womans expectant gaze. That expression was saying, Im very good-looking, right? Come and praise me! Li Yan nodded. Yes, shes indeed not good-looking. Shes just average looking. No matter how hard you take her, she wont look like a fairy. Qiao Mu was speechless.
Would it kill him to praise her? Qiao Mu pouted. Im angry, so Im ignoring you! Li Yan chuckled softly. Be good. Dont cause trouble when youe down. If you continue to hinder me from working, I wont be able to see thenterns tonight. Then say something nice for me. She took advantage of the situation. Hmm? Say what? Just say that you are beautiful in my eyes no matter what you look like. Li Yan nodded. I know. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Its normal for me to look good in your eyes. Li Yan! Qiao Mu cried out unhappily. Alright, youre good-looking in my eyes no matter what. I dont despise you. Qiao Mus face was filled with smiles upon hearing this. She excitedly came down from thedder, but the moment shended, she identally sprained her ankle. Li Yans face darkened and he hurriedly held her. I let you run around. Does it hurt to move your ankle?
Qiao Mu shook her head vigorously. It doesnt hurt. Li Yan did not say a word. He wrapped her up and ced her on the chair to check her ankle. Uncle, it really doesnt hurt. Its okay. Lets continue ying. Qiao Mu moved her ankle in front of him. It hurt a little, but it did not stop her from ying. Li Yans expression turned serious. After confirming that her ankle was not injured, he said coldly,Dont jump around. Sit obediently at the side. Uncle Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the man. Theres no room for discussion. Qiao Mus excited little face instantly crumbled. This mans expression changed faster than flipping through a book. He was fierce as he said! It had been a long time since she had seen him being fierce to her. Looking at him now, he was really quite handsome. She was still infatuated at this time. It was really enough! Then, Li Yan continued with his work, and Qiao Mu could only sit obediently at the side and watch. In the afternoon, the colorful lights in the courtyard were all hung up, and Qiao Mu was a little restless at home. She tilted her head and looked at the man beside her. Uncle, lets go buy food and prepare dinner? Dinner was already prepared in the kitchen. There was a sumptuous seafood feast, chicken, duck, fish, and meat.
Li Yan did not say anything and left with the little woman.. Chapter 592 - 592: The First Festival With Uncle (3) Chapter 592 - 592: The First Festival With Uncle (3)
Trantor: 549690339 When they arrived at the supermarket, there was a sea of people preparing for the festival. Qiao Mu pushed the shopping cart forward with difficulty. Li Yan protected her in his arms to prevent others from bumping into him.
There was a mooncake event going on, and a group of aunties and aunts were fighting over the mooncakes. Qiao Mu joined in the fun and squeezed into the crowd, choosing a box and cing it in the shopping cart. Uncle, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You must eat mooncakes. Alright. Li Yan replied indifferently. Didnt this little thing see the piles of mooncakes at home? Then, there were oranges on special sale in the fruit section. They cost 1.8 RMB per catty. Qiao Mu excitedly joined the crowd to pick out oranges, and in a short while, she bought arge bag of oranges. Li Yan followed Qiao Mu wherever she went. Although she bought a bunch of things, she might not eat them. As long as she liked them, how could he stop her? The two of them squeezed into the crowd like an ordinary couple, carefully choosing the cheapest things to buy. This feeling was like buying New Year goods for the New Year. This was the first time Qiao Mu felt that a festival could be so joyous. In the end, he bought a lot of vegetables and fruits, as well as fresh hairy crabs in the seafood area. Finally, when the shopping cart could not fit anymore, he returned with a full load. When they got home, the servants were moving bags of things into the house. Yu Yiduo walked over and rummaged through the shopping bags. She asked in surprise, What did you buy? Why did you buy such a big bag of oranges? Auntie, oranges are on sale, so I bought a little more at once, Qiao Mu said with a smile.
Yu Yiduo looked at the price tag on the shopping bag, and her mouth twitched. 30 yuan for a big bag. This wife really knows how to live, but is she sure she can finish all this? It was estimated that in the end, more would rot than eat. Would this be a good way to live or a waste? Alright, overall, this kind of thrifty and frugal attitude was not bad. Then, Yu Yiduo saw the mooncake and said helplessly, Mu Mu, there are so many mooncakes at home. We cant even finish them all, yet you still bought them. It was only then that Qiao Mu noticed that arge, western-style mooncake was already ced on the coffee table. She smiled awkvvardly. Its the Mooncake Festival today. Of course, the more mooncakes, the better! Then whats with this pile of vegetables? Tonights dinner! But the ingredients for dinner are all prepared. Qiao Mu was speechless. So, she bought a whole bunch of them, but it was useless? He secretly red at Li Yan. Since he did notck anything, why did he not remind her? Mom, Mumu bought the hairy crabs that you like, Li Yan said calmly.
Yu Yiduo subconsciously wanted to say something, but she suddenly realized that Li Yan was staring at her with a hint in his eyes. She immediately stopped what she was about to say and smiled happily. Mu Mu is so considerate. I like to eat hairy crabs! Ill take it to the kitchen and cook it for dinner! Qiao Mu only became happy after hearing Yu Yiduos words. She had finally bought the right item. However, that was not the case. Yu Yiduo had already gotten someone to send over authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in advance for a feast during the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner. The small hairy crabs that Qiao Mu bought from the supermarket were not authentic and fresh, so they were really useless. However, her son was wholeheartedly protecting his little woman. He did not want her to be disappointed, so she could only pretend to be very happy. Qiao Mu ced the fruits she bought on a te and arge watermelon on the coffee table after cutting them piece by piece. Li Zheng went downstairs and frowned when he saw the watermelons. Watermelons are out of season. Its better to eat less. [Do you have any sweet pets? Continueter..] Chapter 593: So Happy That I Want To Tears (1) Chapter 593: So Happy That I Want To Tears (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu froze. Why was it that no matter what she bought, it was always wrong? Did she really not have the potential to live at home? As soon as Li Zheng finished speaking, he felt his wife ring at him. The next moment, he picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite. Its okay to eat it once or twice.
When other families married a daughter-inw, they would have to serve the elders and servants. They had no status at all, but his daughter-inw had not even married into the family, and she had to be treated like an ancestor! Li Zheng thought about this as he chewed on the watermelon. Who asked him to give birth to a useless son? Sigh! Like his father! Qiao Mu saw that there were indeed many boxes of mooncakes at the side. They were probably gifts from others, and the box she bought was on special offer. It was really not presentable. It would be a waste if she couldnt finish so much. Qiao Mu thought for a moment and moved closer to Li Yan. Uncle, I have something to discuss with you. Hmm? Can you send those mooncakes to the orphanage? Thinking of her past experiences and the children who were not adopted in the orphanage, she really felt that she was quite lucky. Li Yan caressed her little face. Ill get the driver to send it over. Ill also send the vegetables, fruits, and snacks that you bought over. Yes! Qiao Mu grinned. The day was very fulfilling.
Dinner, a sumptuous table. Qiao Mu sat in front of the table and looked at the palm-sized mooncakes on the table. They looked like cakes that had been cut into pieces, looking extremely alluring. She used a small fork to fork a piece and ced it in front of Li Yan. Uncle, have a piece. You eat. Li Yan did not like to eat such sweet and greasy things. Qiao Mu pouted. No, we have to eat mooncakes today. Its a tradition. Just eat one piece. Li Yan was helpless. In the end, he was forced to eat a piece. Yu Yiduo showed off her skills in front of an expert. She held a mooncake to Li Zhengs mouth. Hubby, you should have one too. Li Zheng dodged. Its not like you dont know that I never touch sweets. Yu Yiduo gave a fake smile. Didnt you hear what Mumu said? You dont like it and want to eat a piece. Come, open your mouth. Honey, I really dont want to eat. Li Zhengs face was full of rejection. Eating this kind of thing before a meal would affect ones appetite.
This time, Yu Yiduo was furious. So, you want to quarrel with me during the holidays? Li Zheng was speechless. After decades, Li Zheng had never been forced to eat a piece of mooncake. Today, he was forced to eat it because of his daughter-inw and son. Seeing Li Zheng eat it, Yu Yiduo smiled in satisfaction. Mu Mu had taught her son to be obedient, but she couldnt even do this. Wasnt this embarrassing? Qiao Mu secretly exchanged nces with Li Yan. Madam Yu was really too scary. As expected, Li Yans ability to turn hostile at will was just like his mothers! When the hairy crabs were served, Qiao Mu saw the hairy crabs of different sizes on the te and asked in puzzlement, Why is the size different? I remember that when I bought it, it was the same size! Li Yan picked a big one and ced it in front of Qiao Mu. He exined nonchntly, 1t might have shrunk. Yu Yiduo was speechless. Did he take her daughter-inw for an idiot? Such unconvincing words could actually be said so boldly! But Crab shells are hard, Qiao Mu asked with a serious expression. Can they shrink?
Li Yan nodded. It means that the shop has filled it with water. Theres a possibility that its fake, so you dont have to eat it.. Chapter 594: So Happy That I Want To Tears (2) Chapter 594: So Happy That I Want To Tears (2)
Trantor: 549690339 I didnt expect arge supermarket to be such a scam! Qiao Mu really believed it. After all, fakes were serious nowadays, and many things were fake. It was not impossible for crabs to shrink in size. Yu Yiduo was really surprised.
Yu Yiduo took a small one and opened it. There was a bag of water inside. It was not fresh at all. She threw it on the table. It has indeed shrunk. The reunion dinner was very enjoyable. The entire room was filled with Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduosughter, and the two women couldnt stop eating. In the end, Qiao Mu ate her fill, and the sky outside hadpletely darkened. She tugged at Li Yan excitedly. Uncle, lets go y in the courtyard after were done eating. Li Yan could tell that the little girl was in a hurry to get out. He took a coat and put it on her before holding her hand and walking out. Qiao Mu turned to look at Yu Yiduo. Auntie, arent you going out to admire thenterns and the moon? Yu Yiduo waved her hand. We wont go out. Well stay at home and watch the Mid-Autumn Festival G. You guys can have fun. Actually, she didnt want to disturb her son and daughter-inws private time. This mother-inw was reallypetent! The moment Qiao Mu stepped out of the door, she saw the courtyard bathed in red light. All thenterns were lit up, making the courtyard look extremely beautiful. She waspletely stunned.
All kinds ofnterns formed a spectacr scene under the light. This scene was really like enjoying a grandntern festival. It was so beautiful that it was unreal. Qiao Mu quickly rushed to thentern, and the emotions in her heart uncontrobly gushed out and surrounded her. The beautiful scenery in front of him was personally created by Li Yan. He was the one who hung up everyntern. In an instant, Qiao Mus vision blurred. She sniffed, feeling so blissful that she wanted to cry. How could she not know that everything Li Yan did was for her! In order to give her a holiday like this, he, a man who never knew how to be wasteful or do romantic things, actually spent so much effort on such a thing. Li Yan saw the glimmer in the little womans eyes and frowned. He used his fingers to gently wipe her eyes. Shes fine. Why are you crying? Im not crying! Although she denied it, her voice sounded like she was about to cry. Alright, you didnt cry. You just had sand in your eyes.
Qiao Mu burst outughing at his words. When did he be so elegant? Qiao Mu wandered around under thentern several times, but she still found it surreal. She plunged into Li Yans arms. Uncle, thank you. Idiot. She did not need to thank him. The best way to thank him was to make herself happy. As long as she was happy, anything was worth it to him. Qiao Mu was tired from strolling in the courtyard, so Li Yan brought her to the roof to look at the moon. The night breeze was a little chilly. Qiao Mu leaned into Li Yans embrace, and every part of her body felt warm from her heart. She looked up at him and said, Uncle, I used to look at the moon by myself. At that time, I couldnt feel how beautiful the moon was. I couldnt feel the joy of the festival at all. Li Yan hugged her gently. With me around, youll get used to it in the future. Get used to all the good things and forget all the unhappiness in the past. Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. She did not doubt his words in the slightest. The two of them sat in the night breeze and chatted casually. After a while, the little woman in his arms fell silent. Li Yan looked down and realized that she had fallen asleep. This little thing had been excited for the whole day and had expended a lot of energy. Now, it fell asleep very quickly.
Li Yan carried Qiao Mu back to the room and ced her under the nket before lying down beside her. [Theres also an update estimated to be around 1 0clock..] Chapter 595: The Woman Who Surprised Him (1) Chapter 595: The Woman Who Surprised Him (1)
Trantor: 549690339 On this day, Qiao Mu was so blissful that she forgot herself. Chi Xia, on the other hand, was not so happy.
Chi Xia was from the Law Faculty, so there was indeed an event in the club on that day. Since she had agreed to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Su Chen, she wanted to have dinner with him after the event. She had wanted to send Su Chen a message, but her phone had run out of battery. She had forgotten about it when she got busy. After the event ended, she charged her phone and called Su Chen. Her phone rang. She picked up the phone and before she could speak, she heard the other partys fiery voice.Chi Xia, how dare you disappear! Ill give you five minutes to appear in front of me immediately. Otherwise, dont me me for turning Facing the mans anger, Chi Xia asked cautiously, Where are you? Your school gate! Chi Xia was stunned. When did hee to her school? Would he really go to school to look for her if she had answered the call a stepter? Chi Xia did not dare to dy any further. She returned to the dormitory, packed the things she had bought beforehand, and rushed to the school gate. When she saw Su Chens car, she panted heavily. At this moment, Su Chen was furious. He had been looking for this woman for the entire afternoon, but her phone was switched off and he could not contact her. It seemed like she was deliberately avoiding him! Her anger had already reached its peak and she was about to go to her school to arrest her when her phone was picked up.
When he saw Chi Xia running out of the car with bags of stuff, Su Chen got out of the car and looked at her coldly. Youre finally willing to show up? Chi Xia took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Seeing his questioning attitude, she frowned. You forced me to celebrate with you. I already have something to do in my club Try saying another word! This woman had angered him and made him wait for so long. Instead of bowing her head and admitting her mistake, she even dared to refute his words! Chi Xias head shrunk and she handed the bag to him. This is what I bought for you. The receipt is inside. Remember to reimburse me. Su Chen looked down and saw the thing in her hand. She was holding a briefcase in one hand. From the packaging, he could tell that it was a pot. In the shopping bag in his other hand were bottles and jars. There seemed to be oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and dishes. Su Chens eyes darkened. When did you buy these? I bought it when I went to the supermarket yesterday. Chi Xia answered casually. He bought it yesterday. So, this woman was nning to celebrate the festival with him today. She was indeed dyed by something? In an instant, Su Chens expression softened. He took the bag from her and ced it in the trunk of the car. The words that came out of his mouth were extremely annoying. To punish you for not being able to contact me, you have to pay for these things yourself. Ill teach you a lesson! Chi Xia was speechless.
Your grandpa! Chi Xia felt her heart ache. A pot cost more than 800 yuan. Initially, she thought that since he was going to reimburse her, a person of his status would be demeaning if he used a cheap pot that cost 100 to 200 yuan. If he wanted to buy something better, she bought it at a moderate price. How could she have thought that this rich man would do such a shameless thing! A thousand or eight hundred yuan was nothing to him, but it was her monthly living expenses! Su Chen put his things away and closed the trunk. Just as he was about to get into the car, he saw Chi Xia standing still on the spot. Her face was extremely pale. What are you standing there for? Get in the car! Chapter 596: The Woman Who Surprised Him (2) Chapter 596: The Woman Who Surprised Him (2)
Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia was so angry that she stood rooted to the ground. Im not going to celebrate the festival with you anymore. You can leave on your own! What did you say? Su Chens voice turned cold. Thinking about how I wont have any living expenses for the next month, I dont have the mood to celebrate the festival. I cant eat any big meals. Chi Xias tone had a rare hint of resistance.
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled. Chi Xia, are you a moneygrubber? Chi Xia was speechless. The money was clearly hers. What was wrong with her taking it back? Su Chen opened the car door and got into the car leisurely. He nced at her through the window. Come with me. You might be able to get the money. If you dare to turn around and go back, you can forget about getting the money. At this moment, Chi Xia had truly witnessed how stingy rich people were! In the past, Qiao Mu would alwaysin about how overboard and petty Li Yan was in front of her. She felt that Qiao Mu was just looking for trouble for no reason, but now, she was sincerely repenting. She had misunderstood Qiao Mil! Chi Xia did not hesitate for long and got into the car. Along the way, Chi Xia remained silent. Su Chen nced at her. Have you learned your lesson? Its grown! He answered without hesitation. Su Chen didnt know that this womans attitude would be so positive. The corners of her lips curled up. Do you still dare to make me unable to contact you? I wouldnt dare! I dont have cash. Add me on WeChat and Ill transfer the money to you.
Chi Xia was surprised. You have WeChat! Why? Do you think Im out of touch with society? Su Chen nced at Chi Xia and spoke confidently. However, the truth was that he did not have any friends on WeChat. It was just that he had identally seen his elder brother and Qiao Mu chatting on WeChat, so he was curious about this thing and downloaded it. To him, it was indeed useless, but now it came in handy. He looked at the woman beside him and asked,What do you want to eat? Is it Chinese food, Western food, or Thand food? He remembered that she liked curry. Chi Xia thought for a moment. Theres no such thing as eating out during the holidays. Ill make it for you when we get back. Ive already bought all the oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar anyway. Su Chen was stunned. You know how to cook? Chi Xia nodded and took out her phone. She ordered some vegetables from the delivery website and ced her order. This way, the vegetables would be delivered when she went back and she would not have to waste time buying them. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. He saw her minding her own business and buying groceries on her phone, but he didnt say anything. She didnt ask him what he wanted to eat, probably because her cooking skills were limited and she only cooked what she knew how to cook. When they reached home, Chi Xia went into the kitchen and put away the things she had bought. The kitchen quickly looked like it was in good condition.
Chi Xia pped her hands and smiled at Su Chen. Whether a house has the taste of home depends on the kitchen. Is it better now? Su Chens eyes darkened as he looked at the busy figure. This woman really surprised him. Su Chen rarely ate at home. Other than socializing, he would spend most of his time with Lu Jingzhi and Ling Xi. They would have dinner together at night, y cards for a while, and then go home to sleep. asionally, he would return to the Smiths vi when he had nothing to do at night, so this ce was only his ce to sleep. The kitchen was empty, so he didnt care. However, this woman came three times and started a fire in his kitchen to make up for all the missing things. It indeed looked like a home. Im done. Ive added two chapters from yesterday. Its about Su Chen and Chi Xia. I dont n to start another story. Ill finish it in this story. Everyone will be happy. I just realized today that the students are all in school.. Suying will try to update earlier in the future so that the girls who cant stay upte can finish reading it earlier!] Chapter 597 A Warm Festival (3) Chapter 597 A Warm Festival (3) This woman was too meddlesome. She waspletely acting like the mistress of the house. But... He knew that she had never wanted to be the mistress. Although she was with him, she did not put her heart on him. Since that was the case, why should she meddle in other people''s business? At the thought of this, Su Chen felt a surge of inexplicable anger. He turned around and left the kitchen without saying a word. Chi Xia was still talking when the man suddenly turned around and left, leaving her stunned. Why was he so rude? It was simply too infuriating! Chi Xia came out of the kitchen and saw Su Chen sitting on the sofa watching the Mid-Autumn Festival G on TV. She looked at him. "I should go. '' Su Chen''s cold eyes swept over. " Sit down." "I want to go back to school." Chi Xia repeated. Su Chen ignored her and sat still." Sit down and watch the party!" Chi Xia hesitated for a moment before sitting down. Although Su Chen''s gaze was fixed on the television screen, he didn''t pay attention to what was happening at the g. His attention waspletely focused on Chi Xia. He nced at Chi Xia sitting down on the sofa and the coldness in his eyes dissipated. At first, Chi Xia felt awkward sitting with him and watching TV. Gradually, she turned her attention to the party. She picked up the fruits on the coffee table and watched them while eating. When she saw the interesting skits, she started giggling. Just as she was smiling, she felt Su Chen''s gaze sweep over. Then, she heard his slightly puzzled voice, """Is it funny?" "You don''t think it''s funny?" "This kind of party can only fool an idiot like you." Chi Xia was speechless. If he wasn''t an idiot, why was he looking at it so seriously? Chi Xia''s cell phone rang. It was her mother. Chi Xia''s mother asked about it on the other end of the phone and Chi Xia smiled, ""Mom, don''t worry. I''m at a friend''s house for the holidays. I''m watching the party now ... Yes, I know. You and Dad have fun." Su Chen listened to Chi Xia''s cheerful voice. Through the reflective ss in front of him, he could see her bright smile. She looked like a child who had been spoiled by her parents since young. After Chi Xia hung up the phone, Su Chen asked calmly, ""Why didn''t you go home during the holidays?" "My parents went on a trip. I went home alone." Chi Xia looked at the time on her phone." It''ste, I really have to go back." Su Chen leaned back on the sofa and ced his legs on the coffee table.""I''m hungry. Go cook me some noodles." Chi Xia was speechless. "I just finished dinner!" "I haven''t eaten my fill yet, so I''m hungry quickly. Don''t dawdle. Hurry up and cook." Chi Xia was really going to be tortured by this young master. She rubbed her stomach. Actually, she was a little hungry too. She was the one who was not full! Fifteen minutester, the beef and vegetable noodles were ready. Su Chen ate slowly. Chi Xia wolfed down the noodles, wanting to finish them and leave as soon as possible. However, the man was not in a hurry. He finished the bowl of noodles for twenty minutes. Finally, supper was over. Chi Xia stood up, " Can we go now?" "It''s already 10 o''clock. Are you sure your dormitory door isn''t closed?" Chi Xia was speechless. Why did she feel like she had been deceived?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Su Chen stood up and walked to the door of a bedroom. He turned on the lights in the room. "You can sleep here tonight." "No, no, no. No need." Chi Xia waved her hands in a panic. How could she stay in such a dangerous ce for the night? Chapter 598: A Warm Festival (4) Chapter 598: A Warm Festival (4)
Trantor: 549690339 They were a single man and a single woman, not to mention that they were still dating in name. Most importantly, they had done something together before! Su Chen raised his cold eyes. I remember that your period hasnt ended yet.
Even if you wanted to, I wouldnt be interested. Chi Xia was speechless. She definitely couldnt go back to the dormitory at this time, so she could only stay here for the night. After Chi Xia entered the room, she realized that her phone was almost out of battery. She jumped off the bed and wanted to ask Su Chen for a charger. The door to Su Chens room wasnt closed tightly, and there was a gap. Chi Xia grabbed the doorknob and was about to push the door open when she was suddenly pulled from the inside. She was thrown forward by a force. In the next second, he crashed into a wall of flesh. Su Chen looked at the woman who had pounced on him. The corners of his mouth curled up as he hooked his arm around her waist. What? You cant wait to throw yourself into my arms so soon? Chi Xia felt a burning sensation on her face and pushed him away. I I just want a charger from you! Hmm, thats a good reason. Chi Xias face turned red. She felt extremely ufortable under his stare and turned around to leave. However, just as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed. In the next moment, she was pressed against the wall. The man in front of her kissed her on the lips!
Chi Xias eyes widened in shock. She felt the heat from the mans body and her heart was about to jump out of her chest. In an instant, his mind went nk. The mans kiss made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar She suddenly reacted and pushed him away with all her strength. She ran away and fled back to her room. Bang! The door was closed. Su Chen was pushed up without any warning. The feeling of being interrupted before he could enjoy it was very unpleasant! He rubbed his fingers against his lips, and his thin lips curled up bit by bit. That handsome face had an unfathomable expression. Chi Xias back was pressed against the door as she panted heavily. Her heart was still beating uncontrobly. This feeling seemed to want to swallow her whole. She subconsciously pressed her hand against her beating heart. It wasnt that she hadnt kissed Su Chen before, but this time, it felt different. Why did she not reject it at that moment? She was so nervous that her heart beat faster. She actually had such a reaction after being kissed forcefully. What was wrong with her?
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Chi Xias heart tightened as she heard the mans voice, Didnt you want a charger? I dont want it anymore! So, you used the charger as an excuse to get close to me on purpose? Before Chi Xia could reply, Su Chen said calmly, 111 put the charger on the cab for you. Come out and get it yourself. Chi Xia felt the footsteps gradually fade away and heard the sound of the door closing. She then heaved a sigh of relief. That night, Chi Xia fell asleep in fear. The next morning, she was woken up by the surging sensation in her lower body. She lifted the nket and saw a dazzling red flower blooming on the light blue bedsheet! The fifth day of her period had already ended, so she did not use sanitary pads. However, who would have thought that when she woke up, her period would appear again! She climbed out of bed in a panic and looked at the bedhead that she had dirtied. She felt a headache. This was someone elses house! Chi Xia cleaned herself up and pulled the bedsheet off. She snuck out of the room with the bedsheet in her arms, intending to wash it in the washing machine.
However, just as she was about to step into theundry room, a voice sounded behind her..What are you doing? Chapter 599 Li Yans Fiancée (1) Chapter 599 Li Yan''s Fiance (1) Chi Xia''s body stiffened. She turned around and saw Su Chen standing behind her. She hugged the nket and stood where she was. "I dirtied the bedsheets. I want to wash them." Su Chen raised his eyebrows." You''ve been sleeping all night and you''re already dirty. What did you do?" Chi Xia could not lift her head when she heard this. The man walked over and reached out to snatch the bedsheet from her hands. She couldn''t argue with him, so she could only tell him the truth." There''s a little stain on it..." Blood." Su Chen immediately understood what was going on when he saw Chi Xia lowering her head in embarrassment. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked down at her. "You still feel embarrassed? It''s not the first time this has happened. Last time, didn''t you leave your...Blood, and then he left?" Last time... Chi Xia''s mind was a little slow for a moment, but she quickly reacted and her face turned red. She was both embarrassed and angry! He was talking about the first time she had sex with him! After the holidays, Qiao Mu resumed her busy life. When she arrived at Key studio, Key gave her a contract regarding the sales of the clothing on the market. Key leaned back in his seat and said, "" Look at the contract carefully. If there are no objections, sign it. It''s written very clearly that after the clothes you design are released, we will give you a corresponding share based on the sales. At the same time, the copyright of the work will belong to Key Studio. If any clothing brand sells your work without permission, we have the right to take them off the shelves." Qiao Mu nodded and signed her name without paying attention to the number of shares on the contract. Key raised his eyebrows. " You have no objections to the split?" Qiao Mu shook her head. "It''s Teacher Key who gave me such a rare opportunity. I believe in him. Besides, I''m not very good at science, so I can''t understand the multiplication and deduction of the percentage. Even if I don''t get a share, I won''t object, let alone get some benefits." Key narrowed his eyes. " Qiao Mu, I want to know, in this industry, if you''re not doing it for money, then are you working so hard to be famous?" Famous? Qiao Mu thought for a moment and asked,"Is standing at Paris Fashion Week considered famous?" My goal is to stand in the position of Key teacher. Entering Paris Fashion Week is like walking in my own backyard. At that point, I''ll definitely be very famous!" Qiao Mu''s words were extremely serious. She had never doubted her goal. It might be difficult to achieve, but one should have the confidence to do their best. Key looked at the girl in front of him. For a 19-year-old girl to set such a lofty goal, it might seem like a dream. However, Qiao Mu''s expression was so serious and determined that he could see his own shadow in her. The same confidence, the same determination. He smiled. "I hope you can always maintain this mentality. "I will, Key teacher!" Key picked up the internal line." Amy,e to my office and take over Qiao Mu." He then looked up at Qiao Mu. " Amy is the creative director of the design department. She''s very outstanding in fashion design. Leave everything else to her. If you have any doubts, just look for her."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Qiao Mu nodded. Soon, Amy knocked on the door and entered. When she saw Qiao Mu, she smiled and said, "" Qiao Mu,e with me. I''ll bring you to the design department." After leaving the office, Qiao Mu respectfully said, ""Sister Amy, there are many things I don''t understand. I''ll have to trouble you for this period of time." Amy smiled faintly. "This is my job. If you need anything, juste to me. If you''re polite with me and do something wrong, Key will me me, the person in charge.'' Chapter 600: Li Yan’s Fiancée (2) Chapter 600: Li Yans Fiance (2)
Trantor: 549690339 I think Mr. Key is quite friendly. Youre his secretary and creative director. He wont me you, right? You dont know him. Hes a person who keeps his work and personal life separate.
As Amy said this, her eyes revealed an expression. Qiao Mu was a little puzzled. Could it be that Key and Amy had an unusual rtionship? At this moment, a woman came out of the elevator. When she saw Amy, she smiled and walked over. Amy, long time no see. Is Key here? Amy went up to hug her. Key is in the office. Miss Ji, is your performance over? Yeah, Im going to perform in Singapore next. Im here to ask Key about his costume. The woman nced at Qiao Mu. If you have something on, I wont disturb you. The woman left in her high heels, and Qiao Mus gaze followed her movements. She felt that this woman looked very familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen her before. Amy looked at Qiao Mu and asked, Qiao Mu, you know her, right? Qiao Mu shook her head. Sister Amy, who is she? You really dont know her? Qiao Mu smiled embarrassedly. Is there anything wrong with not knowing her? , Shes Ji Lan, a cellist. Key is the fashion consultant for many celebrities, and shes one of them. Amy observed Qiao Mus reaction as she spoke. Qiao Mu nodded. So shes an artist. I dont know much about the art circle, so its normal that I dont know her.
Qiao Mu, whats your rtionship with Li Yan? Amy suddenly asked. Qiao Mu was stunned. Why are you suddenly asking this? The topic just now had nothing to do with Li Yan at all. Why did he suddenly mention Li Yan? Amy smiled. Then Ill get straight to the point. Backstage, I saw Li Yan protecting you. Ji Lan is the only person who has a scandal with Li Yan. Rumor has it that shes Li Yans fiance. Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks. Li Yans fiance? Amys words cleared up her memory. She finally remembered why she felt that the woman looked familiar. This Ji Lan had a scandal with Li Yan before! Because Yu Yiduo had created a misunderstanding about her fiance, someone had exposed that Li Yan and his fiance had gone overseas for a holiday. The fiance that was exposed was Ji Lan! He did not expect to see Li Yans fiance in person! He looked up and saw Amy sizing him up. It seemed that Amy really thought that Ji Lan was Li Yans fiance! Qiao Mu smiled nonchntly. Sister Amy, isnt it normal for celebrities to have scandals? Its just a rumor. You cant take it seriously.
Amy looked at Qiao Mu for a while before nodding with a smile and saying nothing else. Qiao Mu followed Amy to the clothing production area and opened the door. The designer in the room was busy with his work. He held a pen in one hand and a marker on the fabric in the other. His movements were very skilled and professional. He was on apletely different level from Qiao Mu. This was a real designer. To be able to work under Key, his abilities were indeed extraordinary. Amy exined, The clothes here are all new products for the fall season. For suits, Key brand pursues perfection in the details, so they are all hand-tailored. All the clothes are tailored by the designer himself and then handed over to the people below to make. What you need to do now is toplete the first step and hand over the blueprints to me. You dont have to make the clothes yourself. Besides, you have apetition to attend to. You dont have that much time.. Chapter 601: I Can’t Wait For Qjao Mu To Be Unable To Turn Over Chapter 601: I Cant Wait For Qjao Mu To Be Unable To Turn Over
Trantor: 549690339 After Qiao Mu understood the series of itineraries, the first thing she needed to do was to choose and purchase fabric. Amy looked at the time. Theres still time. Qiao Mu,e with me to Xinyu Clothing Factory and prepare all the required fabric.
Qiao Mu nodded. The materials used for her work were all from Xinyu Clothing Company. In order to ensure that she was 100% authentic, Qiao Mus clothes had to be purchased from Shu Xinyuspany. When she arrived at Shu Enterprise, she bumped into Shu Xinyu, who had just returned from outside. When Shu Xinyu saw Qiao Mu, her expression was cold. She then put on a professional smile at Amy. Secretary Amy, what brings you to thepany? Mypany is no longer a sponsor of thepetition. I wonder if theres anything else I can use the Shu Corporation for? Although Shu Xinyu was dissatisfied, she was still a sessful woman who had seen the world. She had experienced everything. Even if they were unhappy during thepetition, she still did not show it. Amy smiled. President Shu, Im here to buy fabric from yourpany. Ive already contacted the department manager. Shu Xinyu coldly swept Qiao Mu a nce. Then I wonder whats the meaning of you bringing a contestant here? Key broke the rules of thepetition in public and took her into the finals in public, and shes so close to you in private. Its inevitable that people will think too much. President Shu, you must be joking. Key only values talent and doesnt care about anything else. Qiao Mus semi-final work has already been included in Key Studios autumn collection and will be released soon. Im here this time for the materials for herpetition work. After Amy finished speaking, the smile on Shu Xinyus face disappeared, and she looked a little surprised. Miss Qiao, youre really amazing. Key has always been famous for its high standards. Out of so many contestants, youre the only one chosen. Qiao Mu ignored Shu Xinyus disapproving attitude and politely said, Thank you for yourpliment, President Shu. Shu Xinyus eyes darkened. Miss Qiao, you must ept thispliment. Dont wait until the finals and embarrass Key. Qiao Mu raised her chin and smiled. President Shu, dont worry. I wont let
Key down. Thats good. Although Im not a judge for the finals, Ill definitely be there to watch thepetition. If anyone continues to be suspected of giarism, I wont let her off even if someone tries to stop me! After Shu Xinyu finished speaking, she nodded at Amy. I have a meetingter. Excuse me. After Shu Xinyu left, Amy looked at Qiao Mu and consoled her, Dont mind her words. Who asked your work to sh with Ning Tongtongs? Shu Xinyu has always been proud and arrogant, and shes especially protective of her own daughter, so shes a little against you. Dont take it to heart. Qiao Mu shook her head. Its okay. I didnt giarize, so I naturally wont take her words seriously. Qiao Mu, whether you giarize or not is determined by the results. I have to remind you that if you sh with Ning Tongtongs designs in the finals, youll be the biggest suspect. After all, Ning Tongtong is a professional designer, and youre just a student. Amy reminded. Qiao Mu smiled. I know. Thank you for reminding me, Sister Amy. In Shu Xinvus office. Ning Tongtong suddenly stood up from the sofa and looked at Shu Xinyu in disbelief. Mom, what did you say? Qiao Mus work has been included in the new autumn collection of the Key brand? Shu Xinyus brows furrowed slightly. I didnt expect that Key would treat Qiao Mu like this. It seems like this girl is really not simple. Dont be unhappy, sit down first. Ning Tongtong wasnt just unhappy! She was simply burning with rage, and she wished she could immediately disqualify Qiao Mu from thepetition and make aeback!
Chapter 602: She Must Not Be Disgraced! Chapter 602: She Must Not Be Disgraced!
Trantor: 549690339 Ning Tongtong couldnt ept this. The person she had always looked down on was actually the person who had designed her drafts! When she found out about Qiao Mus identity, she hated herself to the point of gnashing her teeth, but she was helpless. Who asked her to be famous by relying on Qiao Mus works!
Qiao Mus presence was a great threat to her. If she was not careful, she might lose all her reputation! Ning Tongtong sat down beside Shu Xinyu and held her hand tightly. Mom, Qiao Mu has Li Yan as her backer, and Key is so biased towards her. Im worried that the finals wont be fair. Shu Xinyus expression darkened. Dont worry, I wont let this happen. Qiao Mu giarized your work, but Im afraid she wont giarize in the finals. If she continues to copy your work without any scruples, I definitely wont sit idly But Qiao Mu has Li Yan! Shu Xinyu frowned and patted Ning Tongtongs handfortingly. Leave this to me. Ill think of a way. Ning Tongtong snuggled into Shu Xinyus embrace. Mom, thank you. Without you, my fashion design career would never have been able to take off. I really dont want Qiao Mu to ruin the reputation that Ive worked so hard to build. You must help me think of a way. You dont have to worry about these things. Leave everything to me. You just have to focus on thepetition. Looking at Ning Tongtong who was in her arms, sobbing pitifully, Shu Xinyus expression turned cold. Ning Tongtong had always been outstanding in everything she did since she was young. She had watched this child grow up, so she knew very well how great Ning Tongtong was. Although Ning Tongtong was not her biological daughter, she was more like her biological daughter.
When she married into the Ning family, it was this child who gave her warmth. They were not at odds with each other like other second-marriage families. When a four-year-old girl called her mother, that kind of happiness aroused her maternal love. All these years, she had always doted on her like her own daughter. How could she let her daughter be hurt at all! Ning Tongtong finally calmed down after receiving Shu Xinyus assurance. Shu Xinyu was also a formidable figure in the fashion design industry. As long as she thought that Qiao Mus work was giarized, Qiao Mu would not have a chance to turn things around! Qiao Mu and Amy left Shu Enterprise and returned to Key Studio. Next, Qiao Mu began preparing to start work. Qiao Mu spent the entire day cutting the fabric. Due to the urgency of time, she was extremely busy the entire day in order not to hinder the uingpetition and to catch up with theunch of the new autumn products. In the evening, just as Qiao Mu was concentrating on her work, she heard a faint voice from behind her. Youre really focused. Ive been standing here for so long, but you didnt notice. Its good that you put in the effort, but your technique is a little rough. Dont tell me you got selected for the autumn collection through the back door? Qiao Mu raised her head and saw a man in his twenties standing behind her with a cup of coffee in his hand.
The man was tall and thin, and he looked refined. Although the other partys words were not pleasant to the ears, Qiao Mu still asked politely, May I ask who you are? The man smiled apologetically. I thought everyone in the industry would know me because of my fame. I didnt expect someone to be so ignorant. Are you sure were in the same industry? Qiao Mu was speechless. Im sorry, although Im a designer, the only person I know the most in this industry is Teacher Key.. Are you more famous than Teacher Key? Chapter 603: Looks Like You Really Got In Through The Back Door Chapter 603: Looks Like You Really Got In Through The Back Door
Trantor: 549690339 Alright, if I was better than him, I wouldnt have to work for him here. A bright smile appeared on the mans face as he introduced himself. My name is Leo, and Im the exclusive designer under the brand KY. The name Leo sounded familiar.
Qiao Mu thought for a moment and suddenly reacted. She pped her hands and asked in pleasant surprise, You designed the Paris Love series, right? Qiao Mu was very familiar with the Key brand. There were many collections under this brand, and they were all designed by different designers. She had seen a very good piece of work before, and it wasbeled with the designers name, LEO, below it. Leo smiled. Looks like youre in the same industry. Its time for you to introduce yourself. Qiao Mu was also stunned. You dont know me? Are you very famous? No, I thought all of you would be watching the fashion designerpetition organized by Teacher Key. Im a contestant, Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu introduced herself with a smile. Leo was enlightened. So youre the university student that Key made an exception and selected for the finals. Not only that, but they also included your work in the new autumn collection! Looks like he really did use the back door! Qiao Mu was speechless. Why did she feel that she had gotten in through the back door? Leo smiled and patted Qiao Mus shoulder. Im just joking with you. We all know how Key is like. He can go through anyones back door, but he definitely cant. If it werent for your outstanding work, he wouldnt have given you special treatment. I was working overtime to design clothes and didnt go to thepetition. It seems like I missed a good show. As he spoke, Leo picked up Qiao Mus artwork and looked at it before nodding in admiration. Its indeed not bad. How old are you? Your work is on par with professional designers like us, but its still a littlecking.
Whats the difference? Qiao Mu humbly asked for advice. You said that my technique was crude just now. Senior, can you give me some pointers? Seeing that youre sincere, Ill make an exception and teach you. Leo put down the cup of coffee in his hand and his expression became serious. Judging from the way you cut the fabric, youre not very professional. One look and I can tell that you learned it in school. You dont have any actualbat experience. A single posture can affect the angle and speed of cutting Leo exined his professional knowledge to Qiao Mu while he demonstrated his skills. Although it was just a few simple sentences, it was extremely useful to Qiao Mu. As the two of them discussed, time passed unknowingly. It was already past the time to get off work. At this moment, Li Yan was on his way back to thepany after finishing his work. This ce was not far from Key Studios building. He looked at the time, and Qiao Mu should have finished her work by now. The little thing did not call him for the entire day. She only sent a message to briefly exin her schedule for the day. However, after this message, the little thing did not reply. Li Yan dialed Qiao Mus number, but she did not pick up. After putting down the phone, Li Yan said to the driver, Lets go directly to Key Studios. The car stopped in front of the building. Li Yan got out of the car and was about to enter the building when he faced off with KYE who came out from inside.
Key smiled faintly. President Li, why did youe to my small ce? Yourpany has already sent someone to negotiate our cooperation. Is there anything else that you need President Li toe personally? Li Yans long and narrow eyes stared at Key. Seeing how the little thing had praised him for being so outstanding, he did not even bother to show a polite smile. Im here to look for someone.. Chapter 604: We’re Just Pure Friendship Chapter 604: Were Just Pure Friendship
Trantor: 549690339 Key raised his eyebrows and quickly understood who Li Yan was looking for. However, he shouldnt have offended this man. Why was this man so hostile towards him?
The first room on the left on the sixth floor, he said after some thought. CEO Li can go there to look for Qiao Mu. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. His cold voice slowly sounded as he spat out two words from his thin lips. Thank you. Li Yan came out of the elevator and went to the first room on the left. He heardughter from the other room. That voice belonged to Qiao Mu. He thought that she had forgotten about him because she was too busy. In the end, she was here chatting andughing with people in the name of work? He pushed open the door and saw the scene in the room. His face instantly darkened. Inside the house, his little woman was being held by a pretty boy. The two of them were very close to each other, and they looked extremely intimate. In an instant, the anger in his heart boiled! Qiao Mu was learning the cutting technique from Leo. As her hand gestures were not standard, Leo was demonstrating and holding her hand to correct her hand gestures. At this moment, the door was pushed open.
The two people in the room stopped at the same time and looked over. Qiao Mu did not expect Li Yan toe looking for her. She was stunned for a moment and was about to call out to him when she saw that his expression was extremely bad, and his gaze fell on her hand. Lowering her head, she saw that Leos hand was still holding hers. She immediately pulled her hand back and giggled at the man at the door. It was over! Were done for! Why didnt hee earlier? Why did he have to appear at this time and just happen to see this scene! Qiao Mu could tell from the mans expression that Young Master Li was angry! To be precise, he was jealous! However, Leo, who was standing beside her, reacted slowly and leaned closer to her, asking softly, Who is this handsome guy? Is he here for you or me? Qiao Mu was speechless. Was he a joke? Did he know Li Yan? Why was Li Yan looking for him?
Before Qiao Mu could reply, Leo asked again, Do you know him? If you dont know him, hes here to look for me! This handsome guy is too charming! Qiao Mu already did not know how to describe her current feelings. Her man was currently staring at her with a frightening gaze, and there was a joker beside her who was exaggerating things and approaching her. Moreover, he was praising her mans handsomeness in a lovestruck tone! This was the first time she had heard a man praise her uncle! Li Yan pursed his thin lips into a thin line and stood motionlessly at the door. His gaze coldly swept across the pretty boy beside Qiao Mu before he turned to Qiao Mu. Come here! Qiao Mu suddenly came to her senses. She put down the things in her hands and immediately jogged over to Li Yan. Uncle, why are you here? If I didnte, would I have seen this scene? Qiao Mu was speechless. She was really innocent! At this moment, Leo rushed over and introduced himself to Li Yan. Hello, Qiao Mus uncle. Im Leo. I was just teaching Qiao Mu how to cut. Were just friends. I dont like her, so dont misunderstand. Qiao Mu was speechless. Who would want a simple friendship with him? They had only known each other for less than an hour. How did they develop a friendship?
Also, what did he mean by not liking her? Who asked him this question! Li Yans expression turned even gloomier after he said these baffling words, and Qiao Mu felt a headacheing on. Ji Lan was the one who had a scandal with Li Yan previously, and Qiao Mu knew that it was fake.. Ji Lan didnt appear to torture Mumu, so dont worry! Im asking for all kinds of support! Chapter 605: Uncle’s Jealousy Chapter 605: Uncles Jealousy
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu could not withstand Li Yans cold gaze and smiled at Leo. Teacher Leo, thank you for teaching me. Ill get going first. She lifted her head and looked at Li Yan. Li Yan retracted his cold gaze and held her hand domineeringly, striding away.
That hand was very strong, and it tightly gripped Qiao Mus hand that had just been touched. Although it was strong, it did not hurt Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu obediently followed Li Yan and watched as his entire body was covered in ayer of cold air, freezing her to death. Wuuuu It was too scary when Uncle was angry! Li Yans footsteps were very fast, and Qiao Mu could not keep up with him. She could only jog behind him in small steps, and just like that, she was led into the elevator. Inside the elevator, Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yan and panted softly. She looked up at the man and said innocently, Uncle, why are you ignoring me with a gloomy face? Li Yan then shifted his gaze down andnded on her. How am I supposed to deal with you? Do you want me to beat you up? Qiao Mu was speechless. Uncle, dont be like this! I was really asking Senior for advice just now. Qiao Mu shook Li Yans hand and said coquettishly. Li Yan snorted coldly. Your method of seeking advice is really unique! Thinking of his little woman getting close to another man, he was furious. Although he knew that she did not do it on purpose, he was angry that she did not have self-awareness. Did she not know how to keep a distance from the opposite sex? Qiao Mu lowered her head and muttered sincerely, was wrong.
The little woman obediently admitted her mistake. To Li Yan, this was a fatal wound. No matter how angry he was, how could he still burn? However, it was rare for her to be so obedient and please him. He could not let her off just like that. The elevator door opened, and Li Yan stepped out with a cold expression. Qiao Mu was about to follow him when she saw someone blocking the elevator entrance. He looked past Li Yan and saw that the person was Li Yans fiance Ji Lan. Ji Lan was about to enter the elevator when he saw the person who came out of the elevator. He was stunned. He did not expect it to be Li Yan! For a moment, Ji Lan forgot to make way for him. He stood in front of Li Yan and said with a smile,Hello, Young Master Li. Li Yan shot a cold nce at Ji Lan. It was just a nce, but he did not stop. He was about to walk past her. Ji Lan felt awkward. It was rare for her to see Li Yan, so she did not give up and continued to find a topic to talk about. Young Master Li, I had a scandal with youst time. The entertainment reporters gossiped that I was your fiance. Im really sorry for causing you trouble. Qiao Mu stood behind Li Yan and rolled her eyes. Since she felt sorry, then she shouldnt deliberately create a scandal with Li Yan!
She looked at the mans expression again. It was cold and distant. That coldness was different from when he was facing her just now. At this moment, it was really cold. It would have been better if Ji Lan did not mention it. Li Yan only remembered the scandal when she mentioned it. Up until now, he had only had one scandal. How could he not remember it? Moreover, it was caused by Yu Yiduo, and it took him a long time to reconcile with his little woman. Li Yan raised his eyebrows and said coldly, lm just having a scandal with you? Ji Lans expression changed when he heard that. He was involved in a scandal with her, but he did not remember her! Young Master Li, Im sorry. To express my apology, can I treat you to a meal? Ji Lan looked at Li Yan expectantly. You should apologize, not to me, but to my fiance. You made my fiance sad.. Do you think it will be resolved with just an apology? Chapter 606: 608-Double Guilt Chapter 606: 608-Double Guilt
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu, who was behind him, blushed for some reason when Li Yan kept calling her fiance. The fiance he was referring to was her?
Humph! She would never admit it! Qiao Mu looked at the face full of artificial uric acid opposite her, and it was as if it had eaten a fly, turning green and purple from the blow. Seeing that Li Yan had no intention of leaving, a scheme shed through Qiao Mus mind. She identally pounced forward and bumped into Li Yans back. Her originally upright body fell forward because of her collision. Even though Li Yan reacted quickly and dodged Ji Lan, who was in front of him, he still identally touched her. Qiao Mu seemed to have caught something that could be used against her. She stared intently at their shoulders that had bumped into each other, then red at Li Yan arrogantly. Her expression was as if she had caught an adulterer. And thenHe walked away with his chin held high. Li Yan frowned. This little thing really dared to cause trouble! Ji Lan did not expect to encounter such a good opportunity. He fell to the ground and cried out in pain. Before Li Yan could speak, Ji Lan waved her hand. Im fine, Young Master Li. Who was that just now? Why was he walking so carelessly Ji Lan did not get up as she spoke. She was waiting for Li Yan to help her up. As expected, the mans footsteps moved in the next moment. Just as she was filled with anticipation
Li Yan did not stay by her side and left! Li Yan strode out and saw that the little woman had already gotten into the car. He got into the car with a dark expression, but he saw that Qiao Musplexion was not much better than his. Qiao Mu crossed her arms in front of her chest and snorted. Did you consider my feelings when you bumped into a beauty in front of me just now? Who allowed you to touch him? Li Yan was speechless. This little thing! Although Qiao Mu pretended to be angry, she really couldnt get angry. She just wanted to use this opportunity to make him not angry. However, after the man beside her got into the car, he said to the driver, Drive, and there was no movement! Was he not going to coax her? Qiao Mu tilted her head and was about to question him, but she saw that the mans expression was still very sour. He did not have the slightest intention of coaxing him because she had done something wrong! Why arent you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty? Do you have any thoughts about the person you had a scandal with? She red at him, deliberately looking for trouble.
Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes and his thin lips moved. He only spat out four words.lm guilty! Qiao Mu was speechless. What was the meaning of this? Seeing Qiao Mus puzzled expression, Li Yan kindly exined, Not only did you get close to the opposite sex, but you also forced your man to get in touch with the opposite sex. Youre not far from asking for a beating. Qiao Mus little heart was thumping! In other words, she had failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice! It was a sin! Initially, Qiao Mu wanted to forcefully persist for a while, but under a certain mans cold might, how could she still be unyielding? Suddenly, Qiao Mu chuckled and inched closer to Li Yan. Uncle, actually, I was just joking with you. Do you find it funny? I dont think so. Uncle, I was too angry just now. Why did your fiance suddenly appear out of nowhere? I just wanted to teach her a lesson! I saw you snickering.
. Uncle, my smile at that time was uglier than crying. It was so sad. Qiao Mu saw that the man was unmoved by both persuasion and coercion, so she dove into his embrace and acted coquettishly as if there was no one else around. Uncle, I dont like you being so petty anymore.. Dont treat me like this! Chapter 607: I Like You So Much Chapter 607: I Like You So Much
Trantor: 549690339 Oh? The mans expression suddenly changed. He raised his eyebrows. I just had intimate contact with someone else, and you dont like me? Qiao Mu was speechless.
This man was deliberately looking for trouble! Qiao Mu bit her lip pitifully and blinked her big, watery eyes. She moved her face closer to Li Yan, and her lips were just a little bit away from touching his face. She kept a distance from him, looking as if she was asking for a kiss. Youre my dearest uncle. How can I not like you? I like it so much! Qiao Mu felt nauseous after saying that. He didnt even care that there was a driver in front of him. He just tantly threw away his face! As Qiao Mu spoke, the hot air from her mouth blew onto Li Yans face, causing the color in his eyes to instantly darken and his body to tighten bit by bit. This little thing suddenly became like a little fox. That gaze and tone made his heart tremble. Why didnt he feel that this wasnt a rabbit but a fox? Uncle Qiao Mu did not give up and continued to act coquettishly. Uncle UncleOh .
Li Yan lifted Qiao Mus chin and kissed her fiercely on the lips. How could he not ept her passionate kiss? The kiss was punishing and ruthless. It was only when his body became more and more stiff that he had no choice but to stop. Ill teach her a lesson when I get home! Qiao Mu was kissed until she could not breathe. She grabbed the clothes on his chest and panted as she asked, Uncle, are you not angry anymore? Li Yan tidied his cor and said something that deserved a beating. Thats a separate matter. Do you think a kiss will solve it? It was very interesting to make things difficult for this little thing. It was not easy to get a hold of something, so how could he just let it go? Qiao Mu wanted to go crazy. She had sacrificed a kiss for nothing, but it was all for nothing! When they reached home, there was no one at home. Li Yans parents spent most of their time alone in another vi. The moment they entered the house, Qiao Mu eagerly took off Li Yans coat, poured him tea, and massaged his shoulders and back. She acted like a professional nanny, snatching all the servants work and doing it herself.
The servant was very puzzled. She asked the butler in confusion, Whats wrong with Miss Qiao today? Shes in such a good mood and has be so diligent. In the past, it was always Young Master who served her. Do you think hes in a good mood? the butler asked in a low voice. I think Miss Qiao made a mistake and made Young Master unhappy. But Young Master doesnt look angry. Who is she? Do you think Young Master can be angry with others when he is angry with her? The butler stood at the side and watched silently. Li Yan was extremely frightening when he was cold to others, but when he was facing Qiao Mu, even if he had a stern face, there was no sign of anger. It was obvious that he was not really angry. He had seen it ten years ago, and it was still the same now. However, Qiao Mu was already used to Li Yans amiable appearance. It had been a long time since she had pulled a long face in front of her, so when she saw his serious expression, she wanted to coax him into being happy. She would rather he was mean to her than be so serious. Qiao Mu was extremely diligent the entire night. She put food into Li Yans bowl and poured him water during dinner. Li Yan ate like an emperor. Previously, he was the one who served this little thing. She was picky with her food, so he had to watch over her and force her to eat nutritious dishes. When she drank water, he would hold the cup like an old maid. Now that this little thing was serving him instead, this kind of treatment was indeed very good.. Coupled with the little womans attentive expression, he could not help but want to throw down his chopsticks and eat her!
Chapter 608: Li Yan’s Cold Violence Chapter 608: Li Yans Cold Violence
Trantor: 549690339 After the meal, Li Yan sat on the sofa. Qiao Mu did not stand on ceremony and sat on hisp. She hooked her arms around his neck and leaned against his chest like a kitten as she watched television. Time ticked by. Although Li Yan did not pay much attention to her and she was the one who took the initiative to get close to him, the atmosphere was still very warm.
Suddenly, the originally pure plot on the television changed. A man and a woman began to have sex. In that hot scene, the womans long, fair legs hooked around the mans waistThis scene was really unbearable! In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became stiff. Then, she picked up a ss of water and took a sip. As she did not hold the ss firmly, the water in the ss flowed out and spilled on their legs, soaking their clothes. Qiao Mu was shocked. She hurriedly jumped out of Li Yans arms and wiped the water with a tissue. Above her head, a gaze that could not be ignored was fixed on her. She looked up at him timidly. Uncle, your pants are wet. Take it off. Qiao Mu was speechless. Seeing the mans cold and aloof manner, Qiao Mu fiercely despised him in her heart. She urately caught a trace of a familiar emotion in his deep ck eyes, and she was secretly suppressing it. At night, the house was very quiet. The servants had all left to sleep. Qiao Mu steeled her heart and unbuttoned Li Yans shirt with trembling hands.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes. The fire that was hidden in the deepest part of his body burned brighter and brighter. His pants were wet, but this little thing was unbuttoning his shirt! A hint of anticipation shed in his dark eyes as he silently watched the little woman unbutton her clothes one by one. Her slender fingers gently ced on that firm and tight chest, gently drawing circles, one by one, with a teasing meaning. She looked up and winked at the man. Uncle, are you really not going to talk to me? Li Yans face tensed up and he restrained his emotions. He wanted to see how far this little woman could go! Qiao Mu lowered her head and lightly kissed the mans lips. It was only a light touch before she left. The man did not respond. Qiao Mus kiss moved down andnded on his chest. She timidly stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked it. The man still did not respond. Qiao Mus hands caressed randomly, and she could feel the mans body temperature getting hotter. Sensing that the time was right, she quickly left him and stood far away in front of him.
Then, she sighed regretfully. Uncle, it seems like you dont like me anymore. Youre not interested in me at all. Forget it, I wont force you. Qiao Mu turned around very, very slowly. She was so slow that before she could even move, her wrist was grabbed and her entire body was pulled forcefully, sinking into the sofa. Qiao Mu giggled. Didnt you ignore me? Are you finally unable to resist my temptation? The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, revealing his usual devilish expression. Little thing, do you know that Ive been waiting for you to take the initiative to offer yourself to me for an entire night? Qiao Mu was speechless. She finally couldntugh anymore! So he did it on purpose! The mans bestial nature began to erupt, and the mes that he had restrained earlier erupted in an instant. This is the living room! Qiao Mu btedly shouted. Everyone else is asleep! The mans voice was hoarse and sexy. But you took the initiative to seduce me. Dont you like thisExcitement? . Stimte your sister!
Chapter 609: I Am His Girlfriend Chapter 609: I Am His Girlfriend
Trantor: 549690339 The next day, Qiao Mu continued to rush to Key Studios. As soon as she entered the office, she saw Leo walking up to her. Qiao Mu, your uncle came to pick you up yesterday, and he didnt seem too happy. Is your upbringing very strict? Youre already a university student, yet your family forbids you from dating?
No, Mr. Leo, youre overthinking it. Besides, I already have a boyfriend. Qiao Mu said with a smile. Oh, then Im thinking too much. Qiao Mu, how old is your uncle? What did he do? Do you have a girlfriend? Leo asked in detail. Qiao Mu looked at Leos curious expression and asked doubtfully, Teacher Leo, why are you so nosy? Do you want to learn something useful from me? If you want, tell me about your uncle. Qiao Mu understood a little. Teacher Leo, dont tell me you want to introduce him to a partner? If he is, you should give up. He already has a girlfriend. You have a girlfriend? Leo looked disappointed. Qiao Mu nodded. Yes, Im his girlfriend. Isnt he your uncle? Qiao Mu saw the disbelief on Leos face and exined, Uncle, thats how I address her. Actually, hes my lover. Leos eyes lit up. Actually, I have a problem. I pay close attention to men who have the body of a model. I just saw that his body is super good, so I wanted to ask him if he was interested in being my model.
Thats all? Then why did you ask him if he has a girlfriend? Its like this. A new theme that I designed is more Returning to nature, revealing more body parts, so if you have a girlfriend, your girlfriend will definitely not allow it! Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Leos words. Teacher Leo, he really cant do this. Even if I agree, he wont! Although she really wanted to see Li Yan wearing those revealing clothes, she could only imagine it. Leo sighed. Alright, just pretend I didnt say anything. But your man is super handsome. Yesterday, I thought it was a model who came knocking on my door. I was surprised and happy, but it turned out to be you. Qiao Mu didnt know whether tough or cry. She really had to admire someone who was so dedicated to their work. At this moment, a man came in to deliver the design. Leo, this is thetest set of clothes. Cut the fabric and give a demonstration. Ill get the people below to do it As he was speaking, the man stopped. When he saw Qiao Mu, he was stunned and asked, Who is this? Shes the legendary contestant, Qiao Mu. As Leo spoke, he introduced her to Qiao Mu, This is designer Chen Ou, and hes also one of the most important members of our team. Qiao Mu looked at the other party, who looked to be in his thirties. He had stubble on his mouth and wore a pair of sses. To be honest, he looked a little wretched.
Qiao Mu smiled politely. Hello, Teacher Chen Ou. Chen Ou stared at Qiao Mus face, and a hint of amazement shed across his eyes. After a while, he smiled and nodded. Hello, youre able to enter the finals at such a young age, and youve even obtained the recognition of the STAR. You must be very talented. Leo smiled. Not only is she talented, but shes also good-looking. Qiao Mu was helpless. Teacher Leo, dont make fun of me. I wont disturb you guys anymore. Ill leave first. Chen Ou turned around and thought of something. He reminded her, Theres a meeting in the afternoon regarding the release of the new autumn products. Leo, youre in charge of bringing Qiao Mu along..

Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu was extremely honored to be able to attend the internal meeting of the designers. In the conference room, there were four chief designers, Qiao Mu, and a few assistants around them. Key was not present.
There were many chief designers under the Key brand, and among the four people present today, other than Leo and Chen Ou, there were twodies. Although Qiao Mu did not recognize faces, she could definitely recognize them when it came to works. The four of them were discussing the contents of the new productunch. As a junior, Qiao Mu did not have much experience, so she sat at the side and listened quietly. Suddenly, Chen Ou shifted the topic to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, what do you think? Before Qiao Mu could say anything, one of the designers, Rita, said, Chen, isnt it a waste of time to ask an inexperienced outsider? Shes only a temporary member of our team. Shes not an official member. Her opinion doesnt matter. That being said, her work is participating in the new autumn collection after all. She just needs to do her work well. Dont drag it down. Thats what I want from her. Qiao Mu looked at the other partys haughty chin, and she thought about how Ritas design was extremely beautiful andpletely out of line with her image. Leo took a sip of coffee and said, Rita, Qiao Mu was personally handpicked by Key. Who among us has ever received such special treatment? Obviously, theres no need to doubt her ability. Your worries are unnecessary. At the mention of Key, Rita was instantly deted. She nced at Qiao Mu in disdain and did not say anything else. I really dont have much experience, Qiao Mu said with a smile. Seniors, please forgive me. I wont be a burden. Qiao Mu was polite and generous, and her attitude immediately made people have a good impression of her.
The two assistants beside her whispered, I havent even met this girl yet, but Ive already heard rumors. Shes a contestant approved by Teacher Key. The entire design department was in an uproar back then. I know her too. Shes young, beautiful, and talented. I think the champion of this yearspetition has already been taken! So, when she wins the championship, she will officially be our member? Looks like we have another chief designer. Ritas expression darkened when she heard the discussion. Ritas assistant said in a strange tone, I heard that Qiao Mus work was suspected of giarism and was exposed by the judges on the spot. What is it? How can giarism get you into thepetition? Thats right. It must be a rumor, right? Leo frowned and mmed the table. Alright, this is a meeting, not a market. Shut your mouth! Rita sneered. Being pretty means that shes treated well. Even Leo has stepped forward to protect her. Is she your type? I thought you had the same taste as Chen! Leo revealed a bright smile. Rita, you can change a persons appearance if theyre not beautiful, but if theyre not beautiful at heart, theyre hopeless. You Rita blushed in anger.
Finally, the meeting ended in a stiff atmosphere. After leaving the meeting room, Qiao Mu and Leo returned to the office. Leoforted him. You dont have to worry about it. We designers dont usually get along well. Were used to mocking each other. Its not because of you. Were all colleagues. Why dont we get along? Qiao Mu was puzzled.. Chapter 611: Being Taken advantage of Chapter 611: Being Taken advantage of
Trantor: 549690339 Do you even need to ask? Werepetitors. Not every designer has the right to get the first seasons new product. Its just like apetition. The winners product will be released in the first round. Its a chance that every designer is fighting for, but you, a neer, got it. Its normal for Rita to be unhappy. Leo was worried that Qiao Mu would be dejected because of the discussion just now. Just as he was about to say something, he saw that Qiao Mus eyes were filled with confidence, and her emotions were not affected by her words at all.
He shrugged. He was worrying too much. Leo went out to do some work, so Qiao Mu was cutting fabric in the workshop alone. After a while, she heard footstepsing from the room. She thought that Leo had returned, so she did not look up. Your technique is not bad. Very professional. A voice rang out. Qiao Mu raised her head and saw Chen Ou standing beside her. Teacher Chen Ou, what brings you here? she asked with a smile. Its nothing. I was just passing by to see how youre doing. Chen Ou lowered his head to look at the fabric that Qiao Mu had tailored. He reached out and pointed at the sketch. This position isnt perfect. You can modify it. How? Qiao Mu was holding a paintbrush in her hand, and Chen Ou directly held her hand, holding her hand as he revised the draft. Qiao Mu froze. She did not expect the other party to directly hold her hand, and she subconsciously wanted to pull it back. She remembered Li Yans warning that no one was allowed to touch her, and she felt ufortable all over when someone touched her. Leo had never held her hand like this when he taught her before. He was only correcting her hand gesture when she was holding the scissors. However, seeing that the other party was very serious and that he was kind enough to teach her, it would be rude of her not to give him face. After thinking about it, she couldnt help it.
However, after he finished editing the draft, Chen Ous hand held onto Qiao Mus without letting go, and his fingers tickled the back of Qiao Mus hand teasingly. Qiao Mu felt ufortable all over and felt a wave of disgust. She quickly retracted her hand, and her expression turned colder as she distanced herself from Chen Ou. Teacher Chen, thank you. I can do the rest myself. Chen Ou smiled, Sure enough, you can understand it with just a little bit. If you encounter any problems again, feel free to ask me. Qiao Mu nodded. After Chen Ou left, she threw the pen in her hand into the trash can and entered the pantry. She turned on the tap and washed her hands vigorously. Although he didnt know if the other party did it on purpose, he still felt very awkward! Qiao Mu washed her hands twice with hand sanitizer before she felt a little better. At this moment, her phone rang. It was Li Yan! In an instant, Qiao Mu felt a sense of guilt as if she was being watched. She had just been touched by someone, and now he was calling her. Could he have grown eyes around her? Thinking of the punishment she sufferedst night, her face could not help but blush. The man picked up the phone and asked, Are you good today? Be good! Qiao Mu raised her voice to express her sincerity. Why do you sound so guilty? Li Yan seemed to be able to read minds. Qiao Mu was speechless.
Uncle, Im really obedient. Alright, Ill believe you. Im telling you that I have a social engagement tonight and will be homete. You can settle your own dinner. Qiao Mu quickly agreed and hung up the phone. She felt that she was indeed overthinking things and continued working. Before she got off work, an assistant came to inform Qiao Mu that Chen Ou was looking for her and asked her to go to his office. Qiao Mu furrowed her brows.. She and Chen Ou were busy with their own work and did not have any interactions, so why was he looking for her? Chapter 612: Taking advantage of her twice in a row Chapter 612: Taking advantage of her twice in a row
Trantor: 549690339 When Leo heard that Chen Ou was looking for Qiao Mu, he was also a little puzzled. Qiao Mu recalled Chen Ous actions from before and asked uncertainly, Teacher Leo, whats Teacher Chen Ou like? The work is not bad. People dontment. Whats wrong with that? Leo looked at Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu feigned ignorance and hung her head. Its like this. My uncle doesnt allow me to be alone with the opposite sex. You saw that he was unhappy when he saw me with you yesterday. Hes a very petty person. Im worried that hell be angry if I go to Teacher Chen Ou. Leoughed. Chen Ou wont be interested in you. You can go and find him without worry. Hell definitely be looking for you to discuss design matters. Seeing how confident Leo was, Qiao Mu assumed that Chen Ou already had a girlfriend, so he would not be interested in anyone else. Since that was the case, she was relieved. Perhaps Chen Ou was just too professional and lost hisposure. Qiao Mu arrived at Chen Outs office, knocked on the door, and walked in. Chen Ou was sitting on the sofa and looking at the draft. Qiao Mu walked over and asked, Teacher Chen, why are you looking for me? Sit down first. Chen Ou poured a cup of tea for Qiao Mu and raised his head. He adjusted his sses and sized up the dazzlingly beautiful girl in front of him. Qiao Mu, I want to talk to you about thepetition. Ive participated inpetitions before, so I want to see if I can help you in any way. Qiao Mu smiled. Thank you, Teacher Chen. Ill do my best for thepetition. The rules of the finals are about to be announced. Arent you curious? If we knew in advance, we could have thought of a way to deal with it earlier. Chen Ous words made the smile on Qiao Mus face vanish instantly. What do you mean, Teacher Chen? Chen Ou nced at the teacup that Qiao Mu hadnt touched and handed it to
Qiao Mu. Have a sip of tea first. Qiao Mu looked at him expressionlessly. He kept raising his hand to pass her the teacup and had no intention of putting it down, so she could only raise her hand to take it. However, she had already grabbed the nket, yet the other party did not let go of the teacup. Instead, he took advantage of the situation to rub against her fingers. Qiao Mus expression changed, and she quickly retracted her hand. She abruptly stood up and coldly looked at Chen Ou.Teacher Chen, I call you teacher because I respect you as a senior. Please mind your manners! Chen Ou looked at Qiao Mus angry expression, and his face became even more alluring. He smiled nonchntly and threw down his bait. Qiao Mu, you might not know this, but I also participated in thepetitions rules and theme, so I knew the inside story earlier than others. If Qiao Mu furrowed her brows when she heard this. She immediately understood the hint in Chen Ous words. This man did not let down his looks. He was extremely wretched! We have nothing to talk about! After saying this, Qiao Mu turned around and strode out. Chen Outs voice sounded from behind her, Dont you want to win the championship? Ill give you some time to think about it. Ill wait for your reply. Qiao Mu gritted her teeth in anger. She felt extremely nauseous when she heard the voice behind her. She mmed the office door shut and left quickly. When she returned to the office, Qiao Mu started washing her hands furiously again. She was really stupid to be touched by the same man twice in a day!
Although he only rubbed her fingers lightly, he felt ufortable and disgusted! Leo came to the pantry to make coffee. When he saw Qiao Mus hands moving over and over again, he smiled and said, Qiao Mu, are you a germaphobe? No, I just came into contact with bacteria. Wash and disinfect more! As Qiao Mu spoke, she looked up at Leo. Teacher Leo, you said earlier that Teacher Chen Ou wouldnt be interested in me.. Is it because he has a girlfriend? Chapter 613: A Real Guy! Chapter 613: A Real Guy!
Trantor: 549690339 Leo shook his head mysteriously. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He said in a low voice, Actually, Chen Ou is GAY. Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock, and then she heard Leo continue, This isnt a secret. We all know what kind of person he is. Since weve met his little boyfriend before, this circle is quite open, so we didnt think much of it.
In an instant, Qiao Mu felt as if she had eaten a fly. It was extremely disgusting! She had actually been taken advantage of by a GAY! A real GAY! She was not prejudiced against gays. It was true that she liked the same sex, but a man who liked men wanted to take advantage of her. How could she not feel disgusted? When he saw Qiao Mus surprised expression, Leo smiled. You seem to be shocked. Youll see a lot of it in the future. In our fashion industry, there are too many such things. But I have to repeat, Im definitely not. Im very normal. Qiao Mu could not bring herself tough at Leos self-deprecating and somewhatical look. He had thought that this would be a great experience, but in the end, he met such a wretched person! After work, Qiao Mu wanted to seekfort from Li Yan, but she remembered that he had a social gathering tonight. Just as she was about to take a taxi home, a car stopped in front of her. The window was rolled down, and a beautiful and delicate face appeared in the car. Ye Nuan? Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu called out. Ye Nuan had volunteered to be her model during thestpetition and had even helped her report Ning Tongtong at the critical moment. After thepetition ended, she could not find Ye Nuan and did not have the time to properly thank her. Ye Nuan nodded. Where are you going? Let me send you. Qiao Mu got into the car and looked at Ye Nuan. You helped me a lotst time. Thank you.
Youre wee. Ive long disliked Ning Tongtong for bullying others. If it werent for my professionalism, I wouldnt even want to wear her clothes. Ye Nuan was straightforward and smiled at Qiao Mu. I also want to thank you for being your model. Your work has be popr, and my value has also risen. Even though Ye Nuan appeared cold and aloof on the surface and didnt seem easy to get along with, Qiao Mu felt veryfortable chatting with her. After chatting for a while, Ye Nuan asked, I saw that you were quite down on the road just now. Whats wrong? At the mention of this matter, Qiao Mus mood sank once again. She sighed. Actually, I was harassed by a senior designer today. He touched my hand! As she spoke, Qiao Mu rubbed the back of her hands forcefully, feeling disgusted just thinking about it. Ye Nuan didnt think much of it. So thats what happened? I was only touched on the hand. My waist has been touched before. Qiao Mu was stunned. Youve been harassed before? Actually, this industry is morous on the surface, simr to the entertainment industry. Its very dark on the inside, especially for models like us. Our public image isnt very good. If we want to develop, we have to apany investors for a drink and a meal. At that time, I was really short of money, so I reluctantly agreed to apany a sponsor of an event for a meal. In the end, that old man drank and reached out his hand to my waist to hug me. I was so angry that I directly sshed the wine on his face, and in the end, I ruined everything. Qiao Mu gave Ye Nuan a thumbs up. Well done!
So,pared to me, you should be relieved. Just stay away from him in the future. Qiao Mu nodded and nced at the cars logo. Youre driving a luxury car now, so your career must have developed. Its not that difficult. This car belongs to my boyfriend. Im driving his car at thest minute. Ye Nuan sent Qiao Mu to the vi area. Before getting off the car, Qiao Mu asked for Ye Nuans phone number. It was rare for her to meet a friend whom she could chat with. Perhaps they would have a chance to work together in the future. [Im done today. Im trying my best to bring it forward, but I really cant bring It rorwara. GirlS wno are silently reading articles, pleasee up more.. Let Suying see your little figures so that she will have the motivation to write Chapter 614: Now She Had Someone to Depend On Chapter 614: Now She Had Someone to Depend On
Trantor: 549690339 When Li Yan returned home at night, it was already midnight. When he returned to the bedroom, Qiao Mu was nowhere to be seen.
In the middle of the night, this little thing was not sleeping in bed. Where did it Li Yan stood in the corridor and saw a glimmer of light in the study. He walked over and pushed open the door. He was about to teach the little one a lesson for staying upte to work, but he saw her petite body lying on the desk and sleeping. His handsome brows furrowed, and his movements lightened. He walked to Qiao Mus side and gently ced her in his embrace. Just as he lifted her up, the little woman in his embrace grunted and opened her eyes with narrowed eyes. Uncle, youre back. Qiao Mu raised her head and saw that it was Li Yan. She tilted her head and leaned against his chest. Why arent you in bed? Why are you sleeping here? Although Li Yans tone was very light, it carried a hint of me. Qiao Mu blurted out her answer almost the moment he finished speaking, Im waiting for you. Li Yans heart softened. Then, he saw the little thing raise her hand in front of him. Uncle, give me a kiss. Li Yans lips curled up. It was rare for the little one to take the initiative to ask for a kiss. He ced her under the nket and lowered his head to kiss her lips. The next second, she pushed him away. No, I want you to kiss my hand.
As she spoke, Qiao Mu brought the back of her hand to Li Yans mouth. Although Li Yan did not understand what was going on, he still kissed her. Kiss me again. Li Yan did as he was told. After the kiss, Qiao Mus small face broke into a smile. She reached her hand into Li Yans clothes and rubbed it a few times before hugging his waist. Im sleepy. Lets sleep. Li Yan was speechless. Li Yan held her hand and sized it up. Whats wrong? Qiao Mu wanted toin to Li Yan, but if this man found out that she had been taken advantage of, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause? Moreover, if she had to find him to solve such a small matter, she would really be a rice worm that reliedpletely on him. Ye Nuan was right. This industry was very dark. When she officially stepped into the fashion industry, there would be a lot of trouble. She couldnt rely on Li Yan for everything. With that thought, Qiao Mu snuggled into Li Yans embrace and shook her head. Its alright, Uncle. Lets sleep. Li Yan did not ask further when he saw the little womanughing so heartlessly. He only reminded her,lf you encounter anything that you cant solve, leave it all to me.
Qiao Mus heart felt warm. Dont worry, Uncle. I can resolve these small matters. If I really encounter something big, Ill tell you without holding back. As long as this man was around, she was not afraid of trouble. Even if she could not solve it, she had him. Now, she had someone to rely on. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. Although he wanted to protect her in his arms at all times, he also wanted to satisfy her desire to be independent. Actually, watching this little woman grow up bit by bit was also a kind of happiness. After that, Qiao Mu buried herself in her own matters and did not interact with anyone else. She also made an excuse not to attend the meeting of the team members that was temporarily formed for the sake of the new autumn product. However, they worked in the same department after all. How could they not have interacted? Key called Qiao Mu to his office upstairs. Qiao Mu entered the elevator and bumped into Chen Ou inside. Chen Ou wasnt the only one in the elevator. There were also two other staff members. Qiao Mu stood in the corner, keeping a distance from Chen Ou. Qiao Mu wanted to go to the ninth floor, but the elevator stopped at the seventh floor. Someone pushed a delivery cart in, and at this moment, Chen Ou came over and ced a hand behind Qiao Mus back. He kindly said, Qiao Mu, stand over here. Dont block the car..
Chapter 615: Chen Ou’s suggestion Chapter 615: Chen Ous suggestion
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu felt ufortable all over, and she quickly moved to the side to shake off that hand. His cold eyes swept across the wretched man in front of him with a warning.
Chen Ou didnt seem to mind at all. In a ce where no one could see, he revealed a disgusting smile. Xiao Qiao, have you considered the suggestion I gave you before? Qiao Mu didnt expect him to mention this matter in public, so she remained silent with a dark expression. Brother Chen, what suggestions did you give to Designer Qiao? asked his assistant curiously. Why do you think she doesnt look too good when you mention this? Chen Ou smiled and said, Its nothing much. I just gave her my opinion on her work, but Xiao Qiao didnt ept it. Its normal for every designer to have different opinions, but I have good intentions. I hope that Xiao Qiao will change her mind and adopt my opinion. It will definitely be beneficial for her future development. Qiao Mu coldly nced at Chen Ou. Outsiders would think that she was ungrateful. A neer like her should be secretly happy to receive a seniors advice, but she refused to ept the seniors suggestion. After Chen Ou stopped talking, his assistant advised, Designer Qiao, even if you performed well in thepetition, youre still a neer in this industry. Brother Chens suggestion is for your own good. Newbies shouldnt be so arrogant. Theres no harm in epting suggestions humbly. Thats right. I cant wait for Senior to give me some advice. A simple sentence can bring me a lot of help. Brother Chen, youre so biased. Youre helping a neer but not helping us, your assistants. Chen Ou smiled. I saw that Qiao Mu is going to be in the finals soon, so I dont want her talent to be buried. As he spoke, Chen Ou looked at Qiao Mu. Xiao Qiao, what do vou think? Qiao Mu sneered in her heart. Since she had already said it this way, if she were to reject it in front of everyone, she would really be arrogant and insensible. Did he think that she would agree to his shameless request just because he was forcing her?
Qiao Mu faintly curled her lips and said apologetically, Teacher Chen, its not that I dont want to ept your suggestion, but every part of my work has received Teacher Keys approval. Teacher Key has included my work in the new autumn collection, so if I make any random changes, Teacher Key will me me. I cant afford to do so. Although you have good intentions, this will put me in a difficult position. Chen Ous smile vanished upon hearing this. The assistant who was previously displeased with Qiao Mu instantly had no objections. No matter how powerful Chen Ou was, how could hepare to Key? Keys decision was an imperial edict, and no one could defy it. Since he had obtained Keys approval, no one had the right to interfere! Key put you in the design department so that you can do better with the help of designers like us. How could he not support my proposal? Chen Ou said nonchntly. You can ept it without worry. Qiao Mu raised her eyebrows. Is that so? Teacher Key asked me to go to his office. Ill personally ask him for advice. Teacher Chen is busy with the new autumn product, so I wont trouble you. Chen Outs words werepletely blocked by his words. The elevator doors opened, and Qiao Mu stepped out of the elevator. Chen Ou looked at Qiao Mus back and curled his lips coldly. The more difficult the challenge, the more exciting it was. He refused to believe that Qiao Mu would remain indifferent to such a huge temptation unless she had a more reliable backer behind her! Could it be that Qiao Mus backer was a Key?
Key had always done things as he pleased and did whatever he wanted to do. Hence, no one had any objections when he allowed Qiao Mu to enter the finals in a special way, thinking that he had taken a fancy to Qiao Mus talent. Perhaps he had another motive? Chapter 616: Ning Tongtong l s Harm Chapter 616: Ning Tongtong l s Harm
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu arrived at Keys office. Key was in the middle of exining something to Amy. When he saw her enter, he pointed at the sofa at the side, indicating for her to sit down and wait for him. After a moment, Key finished giving instructions and sat down in front of Qiao Mil.
Amy stood at the side. Key saw that she did not leave and said calmly,Go out and deal with the matter first. Amy was stunned. She nced at Qiao Mu and left without a word. Outside the office, Chen Ou saw Amying out and asked with a smile, Amy, why is Key looking for Qiao Mu? Why cant you be inside? I wonder what the two of them are doing in private. Am frowned. Chen Ou, what nonsense are you talking about? Key is obviously looking for Qiao Mu about the new autumn collection. If youre bored to death, I can arrange more things for you to do to shut your mouth! Dont be angry. Im just curious. I still feel that Key treats Qiao Mu differently. Itd be best if that didnt happen. We all know that KY never takes personal matters into consideration when ites to work! Amy sounded unhappy. Chen Ou smiled. Yeah, thats why youve been suppressing your feelings for Key for so long. Its been hard on you. Hearing Chen Ous words, a hint of anger shed across Amys face. What do you mean?! Nothing much. Dont be agitated. I have something to do and Ill be leaving first. Chen Ou stopped pestering her. He only wanted to test whether Key and Qiao Mu had any other rtionship in private. It seemed that Amy did not know about it.
Amys face turned pale as she watched Chen Ou leave. She thought that she had hidden her thoughts well and Key hadnt noticed it for so many years, but someone else had seen through her! She turned back to look at the tightly shut office door and frowned. Key was indeed different from Qiao Mu. At first, she was also a little suspicious, but when she found out that Qiao Mu was rted to Li Yan, shepletely gave up on this idea. She had been by Keys side all these years, and he had never been involved in anything other than work, so how could he have feelings for Qiao Mu in just a few days? Of course not! Teacher Key, whats the matter? Qiao Mu asked in the office. Keys expression was serious as he handed the tablet to Qiao Mu. Take a look for yourself. Qiao Mu received it and was stunned when she saw the content on the screen. There were people on the Inte whopared her work with Ning Tongtongs work and used her of giarism, causing a huge uproar. Previously, when thepetition video was broadcasted online, there was amotion. After that, for some reason, all the negative news about her disappeared. Now, there was amotion again, but this time, it was targeted at Ning Tongtong and her new autumn products. Key said, This is a post that was stirred up this morning. Yuan Bo is a master of Weibo and often reveals some gossip. He posted on Weibo that you giarized Ning Tongtongs works. The content is very professional and very convincing. Theizens are all leaning towards Ning Tongtong.
Qiao Mu frowned slightly. Key teacher, if you were a professional, you would definitely be able to tell that my work is more outstanding than Ning Tongtongs. How could it be At this point, he paused and reacted. The other party is deliberately targeting me? Key nodded. A few days ago, I put your work on the official website for pre-sales, and the sales have reached 5,000 units. Ning Tongtongs clothes are also in pre-sales, but its less than 1,000 units. However, after this post became popr this morning, Ning Tongtongs sales have suddenly reached 2,000 units. Are you saying that this is a publicity stunt for Ning Tongtong? Thats right. I dont mind if someone wants to use your reputation to promote their own brand. It just so happens that youre suspected of giarism. said Lui.. Chapter 617: Young Master Li’s Protection Chapter 617: Young Master Lis Protection
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus expression darkened. She did bask in the glory, but my reputation was attected.
The power of public opinion was very strong. If she was used of giarism, it would be very disadvantageous to her in the finals. As long as she did not rify it, it would be difficult for her to establish herself in this industry. Key trusted her, but no one else would believe in her ability as a university student! Thats why I asked you toe here. I want you to design a new product and release it in the fall collection. It will continue to be in your style, but it must be different from Ning Tongtongs work and get rid of the suspicion of giarism. Qiao Mu was touched to hear Keys advice, and she could not help but ask, Teacher Key, do you really not suspect me? Asking me such a stupid question at this time? As long as he had the slightest doubt, he would not use her work. Qiao Mus confidence was boosted by Keys trust, and she said firmly, 111 definitely make it within three days! Yeah, you can discuss it with Chen Ou and the other designers. Their opinions will be helpful to you. Qiao Mu cast a nce down and asked in discussion, Mr. Key, I can do it myself. Can you let me design my own drafts? Key thought that Qiao Mu did not want her work to involve other peoples elements, so he nodded. Time is tight, so Ill give you four days at most to finish your draft. LSA-Building.
In the CEOs office, Li Yan looked at the link that Lei Yi had sent him, and his face darkened. The content did not shy away from using Qiao Mu of giarism, mocking Qiao Mus work to the point that it could not withstand a single blow. He opened thements and saw a bunch of unsightly content. Its disgusting. That girl called Qiao something is only 19 years old, how could she advance to the finals? Didnt he rely on his connections to advance? Thats right. Ive seen the video of the onlinepetition. That woman looks like a vixen. I wonder which person in charge of thepetition slept with her! Girls nowadays are unscrupulous and willing to sell themselves for their goals! A murderous look shed across Li Yans eyes as he dialed the internal line. Ill give you three minutes to hack the Weibo ount of the person who leaked the news. Remove the post and all the negativements! Yes, CEO. Lei Yi immediately responded. Find out the information of the informant! Lei Yi replied and immediately busied himself in front of theputer. After a while, he replied to the phone,President, the blogger who exposed the news is just a Weibo expert. Someone must have paid him to publish those contents. Li Yans eyes narrowed coldly. The person behind this was naturally the one who benefited!
His thin lips curled up sinisterly. Since someone wants to be famous, then help her! Understood! After Qiao Mu returned to her workce, she kept scrolling through Weibo on her phone. She could not bear to look at thosements. They were attacking her personally with just a single post. Finally, someone came forward to defend her, saying that if she really giarized, Key would not tolerate her. Then, someone ndered her rtionship with Key, and Key teacher also suffered. In the end, the two factions began to fight. As Qiao Mu was reading, she casually refreshed the page, and a notification appeared on the webpage. This Weibo has been deleted! She thought that it was the systems fault. When she refreshed it again, the Weibo really disappeared! Immediately after, the blogger updated the new content:Sincest night, myputer has been hacked and my Weibo ount has been hacked. Ive just been rescued. Thest Weibo post wasnt from me. In other words, the previous Weibo post was not true! [The update time iste now. You cane and watch it the next morning..]
Chapter 618: Public opinion changes rapidly Chapter 618: Public opinion changes rapidly
Trantor: 549690339 Following that, there was another round ofments. I believe in Keys character. Hes the designer he supports, so theres no need to doubt his character. Besides, I think Qiao Mus work is much more beautiful than Ning Tongtongs. Ning Tongtong is just jealous and deliberately picking on her, right?
Thats right. So what if shes young? Shes talented and the clothes she designs are beautiful. I ordered one from the official website! Theres something fishy about the post just now. It seems like someone did it on purpose. Someone must be targeting Qiao Mu. I thought that TANG was a pretty girl brand, butpared to the uing release of Key, its not even worth mentioning. Thats right, theyre not on the same level! The fans of the STAR all came out to defend their idols brand. In an instant, ck and white switched, and Qiao Mu changed from being attacked to being supported. Thinking about this series of events, it was impossible for them to have happened out of nowhere. Someone must have been behind it. Qiao Mu thought that Key was the one who did it, and then Key called. She smiled and said, Looks like youre very lucky. Someone helped you reduce the damage value of this matter to the minimum. These words clearly meant that he was not the one who did this! Mr. Kyle, didnt you make this? Qiao Mu asked uncertainly. Although I want to, I cant be so efficient. Dont you have ready-made power by your side? Key was hinting at Li Yan.
Qiao Mu had thought that Li Yan was the culprit, but how did Li Yan find out about this earlier than she did? Therefore, she quickly dispelled this thought. Even if he had the intention to protect her, it was impossible for him to be so efficient! After hanging up the phone, Qiao Mu called Li Yan directly. When she heard the mans deep voice, she asked, Uncle, did you help me resolve this matter? If it wasnt me, who else could it be? What, do you have other admirers to help you clear the obstacles? The maic voice said unhurriedly. Qiao Mu grinned. I knew it. Uncles power is boundless. This small matter wont trouble you. You really know how to tter. Li Yan paused for a moment. Since youre so good at sucking up, Ill give you another surprise. What? You will know soon enough. Qiao Mu interrupted the call in confusion. However, she quickly understood what Li Yan meant by surprise. After a while, she refreshed her Weibo and wanted to check thetest updates. However, she discovered that another Weibo expert had posted the image that attacked Qiao Mu previously. After gaining the attention of theizens, that Weibo post was deleted again. Then, the blogger came out to rify that his Weibo ount had been stolen.
Following that, the same thing happened to a few other Weibo users. They deleted the posts quickly after they were posted, indicating that their ounts had been hacked. This series of actions caused theizens to start questioning the reason. They were even more certain that Ning Tongtong had hired hackers to hack her ount and used the Weibo ount of a Weibo expert to spread information that ndered Qiao Mu. However, this method was tooughable. Not only did it fail to spread, but it also wiped the dust off his body. Qiao Mu couldnt help but sigh at Li Yans ability to hit the nail on the head when dealing with his enemy. He didnt need to speak up to rify things for her. In such a situation, rification would only make things worse. However, by using such a method, he naturally pointed the spearhead at Ning Tongtong. Everyone felt that Qiao Mu was innocent and that Ning Tongtong was the one who framed her and hyped herself up. At this moment, the official Weibo ount of the Key brand sent a message: We reserve the right to sue for defamation of the works under the Key brand. If anyone defames the works under the Key brand again, we will resolve the matter through legal means..

Trantor: 549690339 Xinyu Clothing Company, Ning Tongtongs office was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Ning Tongtong mmed her phone on the table and red at her assistant angrily. How did this happen? Tell me, how did things turn out like this?
The assistant lowered her head and said in a panic, Sister Tong, Ive already bribed the Weibo expert. I transferred half of the money to him and gave him the other half after it was done. Who would have thought that he would change his mind so easily? Not only did he say that his ount was hacked, but he also said that he had to transfer the other half of the money to him. Otherwise, he would expose that we bribed him. Ning Tongtong mmed the table hard and pointed at her assistant angrily. Look at what youve done! Even if he doesnt expose this matter, others will think that I bribed so many Weibo users to nder Qiao Mu. My work is about to be released, and my reputation is so bad now. People are already applying for refunds for the clothes I just ordered on the official website! Sister Tong, dont worry. Ill think of another way. What can you think of? Get out, Im annoyed to see you! Ning Tongtong was so angry that her face turned ashen. Half an hour ago, she was still overjoyed, thinking that she had made Qiao Mu miserable, but things changed in the blink of an eye! The assistant turned around and walked out. Then, he asked in a low voice, Sister Tong, should we give him the other half before we give it to the Weibo celebrity? Ning Tongtong took a deep breath. Are you a pig?! If we dont give him money, are we going to wait for him to expose us? It was simply a double loss! The assistant left, feeling wronged. Ning Tongtong was in a bad mood when the door to the office was suddenly pushed open again. She red at him angrily. Didnt I tell you to get out? How did youMom? Halfway through her sentence, she saw that the person who came in was Shu Xinyu. Shu Xinyu frowned. Now you know how to throw a tantrum? You didnt ask for my opinion before doing anything!
Ning Tongtong wanted to deny that she was the one who did it, but she knew that her assistant was involved, so she couldnt hide it. Looking at Shu Xinyu, Ning Tongtongs furious expression instantly turned into a pitiful and aggrieved one. Her eyes were filled with tears. Mom, I know Im wrong. I was just too impulsive. I couldnt ept it when I saw Qiao Mu, a giarist, be so popr because of the promotion of the KYE brand As she spoke, tears fell and she sobbed softly. Shu Xinyu sighed. Dont cry, Tongtong. I understand how you feel. Didnt you agree to leave this matter to me? Ill think of a way to deal with it. If you do such a thing without my consent, youll hurt yourself in the end. How would I know that Qiao Mus methods were so brilliant? Mom, I really just wanted everyone to know the truth, but who knew that things would turn out like this? Seeing Ning Tongtong crying so sadly, Shu Xinyu frowned and patted her back. The current situation isnt as bad as you think. The more everyone believes in something, the more suspicious it is. No one is a fool. How could they bribe so many bloggers to post at once? If you think about it carefully, you must have been framed. Ning Tongtong was stunned. Then what should we do? They posted on Weibo to protect their rights and interests, so well do the same. Well distance ourselves from them and let theizens discuss it as they please. Qiao Mu wont get any benefits either. Ning Tongtong cried as she nodded. Mom, youre so thoughtful. I wont do anything rash again..

Trantor: 549690339 Shu Xinyu returned to her office and made a call. The call connected and she smiled. Designer Chen, I heard that Qiao Mu is a contestant in your design department. I would like to ask you for a small favor. President Shu, the Inte was so popr just now. You called me at this time. It must not be a small favor, right?
Shu Xinyu smiled. Designer Chen, youre really smart. If it wasnt something I couldnt solve, I wouldnt have bothered you. President Shu, please speak. You also know that my daughter and Qiao Mus work had some coincidences. My daughters work was giarized, and I dont like Qiao Mu to be able to smoothly enter the finals. Her existence is a huge stain on thepetition, so Shu Xinyus tone was timely as she waited for the person opposite her to reply. There was only a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before a chuckle sounded. Its not difficult. I just dont know what benefits President Shu wants to give me? As long as this is done, Ill give you a 10%mission on the coboration between the Key brand and Shu Group. Do you think this benefit will move you? President Shu, lets have a good cooperation! In the corridor of Key Studio, Chen Ou put away his phone and smiled. It was really effortless to obtain such arge sum of benefits! He had given Qiao Mu a hint, but this woman did not show herself to him. He had never intended to let her off, so how could he not agree to Shu Xinyus request for help at this time? At this moment, Qiao Mu came out of the bathroom and walked toward her workce. Chen Ou waved her over. Xiao Qiao,e over here. I want to talk to you about your new work.
Seeing that there was no one around, Qiao Mu ignored him and went straight into the workshop. Chen Outs face darkened. Lets see how long she can be reserved! The storm on the Inte continued. After it had calmed down, the official Weibo of the Tongs brand also issued a statement, simrly rifying that they had no involvement in this matter. If anyone ndered them, they would take legal action. As a result, there were many fans on both sides supporting him. It was difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong. For the sake of designing a new draft, Qiao Mu ignored thosements and focused on conceiving the design concept. After that, Qiao Mu brought her work home and stayed at home to think. She thought when she ate, thought when she drank, and even thought when she went to the toilet. Li Yan couldnt stand it anymore. He hugged the little woman tightly in his arms. You cant do this. Ill take you out for a meal. Maybe youll have some inspiration if you take a break. Theres no time, Uncle. Dont disturb me. Do you want me to try my best and give you inspiration likest time? At this moment, Qiao Mu no longer cared about her blushing and bashful face. She red at Li Yan very seriously.Stop fooling around. Im really anxious.
Therefore, Li Yan was left out in the cold. He patted her head helplessly. Dont think too much. Just think ording to the way youre good at thinking. The more you want to express it differently, the more difficult it will be. Li Yans words stunned Qiao Mu. She was indeed overthinking things because she was under too much pressure. She was so focused on the difference between Ning Tongtongs work and hers that she forgot her initial feelings. Qiao Mu took a deep breath and returned to her usual state of mind. She then began to draw, and finally, on the evening of the third day, she drew a satisfactory draft. At night, Li Yan saw how happy and rxed the little woman was. He hugged her and said, Since the matter has been resolved. Shouldnt you reward me for my meritorious service? However, just as Li Yan was about to start eating the delicacies in front of him, he realized that the little woman in his armsHe fell asleep! Chapter 621: No Response from Suo Ai Chapter 621: No Response from Suo Ai
Trantor: 549690339 When Qiao Mu woke up the next morning, she saw that Li Yans expression was very foul! It was as if she owed him a few hundred million yuan.
Qiao Mu had no idea what was going on at all. She felt drowsy the moment she touched the bedst night. It was as if the man had said something in her ear, but she could not remember clearly. At that time, her consciousness was almost blurry. So, why did he look so awful? While eating breakfast, Qiao Mu nced at the mans expression and asked, Uncle, what happened this morning? Who offended you? This morning? Li Yan narrowed his eyes. She had no idea that he did not respond to herst night! Li Yan snorted coldly and spat out two words in an extremely bad tone, lm fine. Then is your uncle here? Why do you look so pale so early in the morning? Li Yan was speechless. This woman must have forgotten his dignity after not beating her up for a long time! Qiao Mu ate a few simple mouthfuls of breakfast. When she saw Li Yan put down his chopsticks, she anxiously tugged at him. Uncle, lets go. Im in a hurry to go to work. Li Yan red at her coldly. Youre a student who goes to work all day without doing any proper work. Youre so dedicated. Do you have any money to earn? Of course! Qiao Mu was delighted at the mention of money. ording to the sales of my works, I can get a portion of themission. Let me calcte, if I sell 10,000 pieces, Ill getUh, anyway, its a lot ofmission!
Actually, she did not know how muchmission she could get. She was not short of money now, so she did not care how much money she could earn. Qiao Mu looked at the time and dragged Li Yan away, muttering, lts really toote. I have to see if my drafts have been approved. Then, under Qiao Mus urging, Li Yans mood was notforted, and the little woman went straight to work. When Qiao Mu finished the draftst night, she had already sent the electronic version to her email address. He arrived at the studio early in the morning and immediately held a meeting. Since the number of clothes for the new autumn collection was set, since Qiao Mus new designs were added, it was only natural that they had to rece the designs of other designers. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss this matter. Key said, Qiao Mus design drafts have beenpleted, so weve decided to use her new work. As for the clothes that will be taken off the shelves, do you have any objections? Leo was the first to speak. Take one of my collections off the shelves. Ive been participating in theunch of new products for several consecutive seasons anyway. It doesnt matter if one piece is missing. Rita sneered. Who doesnt know that your clothes are from the same series? The idea of taking it off the shelves doesnt form a theme. You really know how to be nice. I say, why are you so evil? Since I can say it out loud, Ive already thought about which one to take down. It wont affect me.
Qiao Mu was touched. She had only known Leo for a few days, but this senior had always taken good care of her. Unlike Chen Ou, this big boy was straightforward and passionate. He had no ulterior motives and was sincerely helping her. This matter involved her after all, and the final decision was made by Key, so it was not appropriate for Qiao Mu to say anything. Suddenly, Chen Ou said, You should take mine down. Dont force yourself on Leo. A series does affect you. Qiao Mu was stunned. What was Chen Ou thinking? She did not think that he would be so kind as to help him! She raised her head and met Chen Ous gaze. Although his gaze seemed to be the care of a senior to a junior, there was a trace of disgust in the depths of his eyes.. Chapter 622: Why Should She Get Special Treatment? Chapter 622: Why Should She Get Special Treatment?
Trantor: 549690339 Leo looked at Chen Ou and asked, When did you be so warm-hearted? Its not easy being a newbie. We all started as newbies, so we know how difficult it is. We naturally have to do our best to help as much as we can.
As he spoke, Chen Ou looked at Qiao Mu with a smile. I hope Xiao Qiao can understand my intentions. In the future, when we develop, you should take care of your peers. These words were really sensible. Not only did they help her, but they also showed that he did not have any personal feelings for her, making her feel good about him. However, Qiao Mu did not appreciate it at all! If she had not seen this mans wretched side, perhaps she would have really believed this mans kindness Teacher Chen, Ill remember what you said, but the final verdict on this matter will be given by Teacher Key. Qiao Mu then looked at Key. Teacher Key, what do you think? Key leaned back in his chair and pondered for a while before nodding. Just do as Chen Ou says. This is a special case. Qiao Mu, your senior has done something for you, so you should thank him properly. Qiao Mu looked at Chen Ou and smiled. Thank you, Teacher Chen. Youre wee. By the way, since I have one less piece of work online, my workload nas been reduced. It you need any nelP Witn your new work,e and find me. Chen Ou said with a smile. Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes. This was this mans goal? In order to let her get close to him, he was really willing to sacrifice! Key nodded. Thats right, Qiao Mu. Amy has been busytely. If you need anything, you can look for Chen Ou. As soon as he said this, Qiao Mu saw a glint of sess sh across Chen Ous eyes. But since Key had said so in public, how could she reject him? Moreover, Chen Ou had helped her. If she refused, others would think that she did not know what was good for her!
Qiao Mu could only nod unwillingly, thinking that she would try her best to resolve the matter herself. After the meeting ended, Qiao Mu packed up her artwork and was about to leave when Chen Ou called out to her from behind, Xiao Qiao, let me admire your new artwork. Since Key was able to rece my artwork with yours, it clearly shows that your artwork has its own merits. Qiao Mu did not stop in her tracks and politely said, Teacher Chen, I still have a lot of things to do right now. I cant waste any time. Please understand. Ill send you the electronic draft when I get back. With that, he left. She would not be alone with him for even a moment. After Qiao Mu left, she heard whispers of discussion behind her. Im also very curious about how outstanding Qiao Mus designs are. Its really rare for Key to rece Teacher Chens work and promote hers! Yeah, I realized that Qiao Mu is being treated well in every aspect. Whether its thepetition or the new autumn product, Teacher Key seems to be taking special care of her. In that case, thats really the case. Why should a college student whos worse than a neer get such special treatment? Weve been working here for so long. Were only qualified to help with the new productunch every season. Who asked him to be outstanding and capable? Were still not capable enough. Tsk, I dont believe that she can walk so smoothly just based on her ability! The discussions grew further and further away, and Qiao Mu could no longer hear what those people were saying. In short, they were very dissatisfied with her. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. Qiao Mu turned her head and saw Leo following her.
Dont mind the gossip, Leoforted. Im just jealous of you. [Is there still a girl who hasnt slept at 1 am? There will be updatester] Chapter 623: There Is A Kind Of People Who Can Eat Both Men And Women Chapter 623: There Is A Kind Of People Who Can Eat Both Men And Women
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu smiled gratefully. Thank you, Teacher Leo. I understand. I didnt take it seriously. Because her goal was higher and further, she would not take such a small matter to heart.
She had known since she was young that no matter which path she took, it would not be so smooth. She would always meet people she could not understand. It was fine as long as she understood herself. She didnt have many good points. The only good point was that she didnt care about what others thought. Qiao Ya had ruthlessly told her to die time and time again since she was young. If she had always cared about what others thought, she wouldnt have lived until now. She had grown up being provoked by vicious words since she was young, so this little provocation had no effect on her at all. Leo smiled. Thats good. I was overthinking. But why do I feel that youre not very friendly to Chen Ou? Qiao Mu was stunned. Was she that obvious? He had actually been seen through! After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said innocently, No, Teacher Chen is a senior. Its normal for me to respect him. Although she really wanted toin, she did not have any evidence. If she said it casually, it would be a nder to others. You respect him, but why do you respect me? Leo asked. Of course not, Teacher Leo. Its mainly because the age difference between us is rtively small. Were from the same generation, so we get along. Leo was very satisfied with her words. He shook his head regretfully. Such a good girl. Its a pity that you have a boyfriend. Otherwise, I would have forced myself to ept you.
. Teacher Leo, please dont force yourself. What happened next did not go so smoothly. Every step Qiao Mu took had to be approved by her superior. The superior was originally Amy, but now it was Chen Ou! Therefore, after she sent the draft to Chen Ou, Chen Ou picked out a bunch of ws. Chen Ou called Qiao Mu into his office. Xiao Qiao, Im not trying to make things difficult for you on purpose, but your work is indeed a little too rough. It needs to be edited to perfection. Qiao Mu said expressionlessly, Teacher Chen, this draft has passed the examination of the Key. I dont think theres anything else that needs to be changed. Besides, the sample of the clothes has already been made. Dont use Key to pressure me. Key asked me to guide you. Im doing this for your own good. Qiao Mus attitude was extremely cold. You know very well whether youre doing this for my own good or not! Looks like youre really insensible. I took the initiative to take my clothes off the shelves for you. Do you know how much of a loss this is for a designer? We designers have worked so hard to get these spots. I took the initiative to give them to you, but you dont appreciate it! As he spoke, Chen Ou walked around the desk and approached Qiao Mu. Xiao Qiao, you know what Im thinking. As long as Qiao Mu quickly took two steps back and looked at him in disgust. Teacher
Chen, I know that you like men. Why are you making things difficult for me? Chen Outs face stiffened, and then he smiled indifferently. The people in thepany are so talkative. I have to tell you this. I do like men, but do you know that theres a type of person who likes both men and women? Qiao Mu was speechless. In an instant, Qiao Mu felt nauseous! It was too disgusting! Especially when these words came from Chen Out s wretched face! Chen Ou smiled as he walked toward Qiao Mu. He reached out to grab her hand, but before he could touch Qiao Mu, he was pushed away. [Finally, its over..] Chapter 624: Pleased and Vented! Chapter 624: Pleased and Vented!
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus expression darkened. Chen Ou, arent you afraid that Ill expose you to Key teacher when youre acting so brazenly? Ha, Xiao Qiao, youre too naive. Go ahead and report me. Everyone in thepany knows that I only like men. Lets see if they believe that I have feelings for you! Chen Ou had a disgusting and wretched look on his face. It was as if no matter what Qiao Mu did, she could not do anything to him and could only allow him to eat her like a fish!
This sentence had indeed hit Qiao Mus heart. The reason why he didnt expose Chen Ou so easily was because he didnt have any evidence. Moreover, Chen Ous surname was different! Qiao Mus eyes turned cold as she looked at the disgusting face in front of her. She walked toward Chen Ou and curled her lips. Teacher Chen, I think youre right, so I wont expose you. Qiao Mus sudden change in attitude deepened the smile on Chen Ous face. It seemed that she was only pretending to be reserved. In the face of authority and benefits, she still submitted! The girl in front of him exuded a beautiful aura from the inside out, making him very tempted. If she satisfied him, he could consider rejecting Shu Xinyus request. Chen Ou raised his hand and touched Qiao Mus face while saying, Xiao Qiao, youre still sensible. As long as you Before Chen Ou could finish his sentence, Qiao Mu walked forward and kicked his lower body at lightning speed. She then swiftly grabbed his outstretched ws and twisted them forcefully, pushing him onto the sofa. The series of movements were so skillful that Chen Ou had no time to react. He was in so much pain that he had no ability to resist. Qiao Mu seemed to have touched something dirty on her hand. She pped her hands and looked down at Chen Ou. As long as its me, so what?
Chen Ou was curled up on the sofa, and he let out a painful groan. His face was red, and he wanted to scream, but he was worried that others would see him in such a sorry state. As he endured the pain, he red at Qiao Mu angrily. You Just you wait! Alright, Ill wait! Qiao Mu only felt extremely pleased and relieved! The moves he learned from Guan Baobei to deal with perverts were finally put to use. It was unexpectedly effective! She must treat Baby Guan to a big mealter to express her gratitude! Qiao Mu turned to leave, and someone knocked on the door. She looked back at Chen Ou and walked to the door to open it. Chen Ou was already sitting upright, but his face was unusually red. Chen Ou wasnt a fool. It wouldnt do him any good if someone discovered his abnormality at this time. Qiao Mu nodded at the assistant who walked in and walked out of the office. Then, she heard the assistants puzzled voiceing out from behind her. Brother Chen, are you sick? Why is your face so red? Qiao Mu couldnt help but want tough. Thats right, she was seriously ill! After that, Qiao Mu found Amy and bluntly said, Sister Amy, Ive shown the draft to Teacher Chen. Teacher Chen wants me to make some changes to the draft. The draft has already been finalized. The clothes samples have already been released. Should I go and ask Teacher Key? Amy nced at Qiao Mu and coldly at the draft. This was confirmed by Key, so its naturally qualified. Designer Chens suggestion is also good for you. The work is yours, so you can decide whether you need to modify it or not.
Qiao Mu turned to leave, but Amy called out to her.. Chapter 625: Ojao Mu l s Treatment Is Too Special Chapter 625: Ojao Mu l s Treatment Is Too Special
Trantor: 549690339 Amy looked at Qiao Mu and said coldly, Qiao Mu, do you know what everyone in thepany is talking about? Keys special treatment of you has already attracted the attention of others. I hope you can control yourself and not think about looking for Key for everything. His tone was clearly filled with responsibility.
Qiao Mu furrowed her brows. These two days, there were indeed some people who were jealous of her gossiping behind her back. She did not take those people with evil intentions seriously at all. It was fine if other people suspected it, but Amy knew it clearly. Now, she was telling her about it seriously, which made her feel strange. After some thought, Qiao Mu said, Sister Amy, I dont think Im afraid of doing things because of other peoples opinions. Its not something shameful for Teacher Key to approve of my work. If Teacher Key cared, he wouldnt have epted my work. Amys face darkened. Qiao Mu, Im just reminding you that if you want to use the name of Key to promote yourself, youd better give up on that idea. Key hates people who use their power to climb up thedder. Qiao Mu looked at Amy and said after a while, Teacher Amy, dont worry. I only admire Teacher Key. I dont have any other feelings. Amys expression froze. Why are you telling me this? Im not interested in your matters! l Youre interested in Teacher Key. Qiao Mu didnt wait for Amy to say anything else and calmly said, Teacher Amy, Ill be leaving first. Qiao Mu wasnt sure about Amys rtionship with Key, but she knew that Amy liked Key. Whenever Key was mentioned, Amys expression would change. Qiao Mu could understand that she didnt want the person she liked to get too close to the opposite sex. However, she really didnt have much contact with Key, so Amys worries werepletely unnecessary. Amys expression darkened as she watched Qiao Mu leave. She arrived outside Keys office, knocked on the door, and walked in. She saw Key sizing up the sample Qiao Mu had designed.
Key rubbed his chin when he saw Amy. You came at the right time. Take a look at the clothes that Qiao Mu designed. What do you think? Amy had already seen it before, so she didnt find it strange. She concluded, The colors are bright and the style is very trendy. It can keep people warm and fashionable inte autumn. Its the exact opposite of some big brands. Its not targeted at mature women. Her style is more suitable for young women. Key nodded. Indeed, the most important thing is that she avoided all simrities with the TANG brand. Yes, I am. Amy replied casually. When she saw the smile of admiration on Keys face, she felt a sting in her eyes. Keys lips curled up. This Qiao Mu really didnt disappoint me. Shes always able to surprise me. Its truly rare for her to have suchprehension at such a young age. Amy looked at Key and couldnt help but say, Key, the people in thepany have been talking about you taking too much care of Qiao Mu. Shes receiving special treatment that no one else has. Kev raised his eyebrows. Is the atmosphere in the design department so bad recently? Then why are you telling me this instead of handling it? Amy was stunned. She didnt expect Key to me her directly. She exined, Its just that this incident has a huge impact on your image.. They all say that youre
Chapter 626: Envious of Everyone Chapter 626: Envious of Everyone
Trantor: 549690339 What did I do to Qiao Mu? Key raised his head and his tone darkened. His displeased gaze fell on Amy. The people below are gossiping and you didnt stop them. Instead, you think theyre right? Amy, youre my secretary. Do you need me to teach you how to do this? No, 1 just
Amy, you know that I hate things thate out of nothing the most. I do treat Qiao Mu differently, but Qiao Mu has the right to do so. Other than the chief designer of the design department, who else can do the clothes she designs to this extent? Those gossiping people think that Im unfair. If theres anyone among them more capable than Qiao Mu to stand up, Ill treat them equally. Otherwise, Ill make them shut their mouths! Keys face was cold as he threw the ball down. Amy clenched her fists tightly. This was the first time Key had questioned her work because of a neer! Key was not a person who was often angry. Although he was usually strict with his work, he would not get angry. However, he was angry because of Qiao Mu. She bit her lip and said after a while, Key, I understand, but even if Qiao Mu is capable, you dont have to tter her like this, right? Keys eyes darkened. Why? Do you have a problem with my methods? Sensing that Key was really angry, Amy lowered her head. Im sorry, I was wrong. Key waved his hand. You may leave. After Amy left, Key sat in his office chair and rubbed his eyebrows. He treated Qiao Mu not only because of her talent, but also because of her experience! Ning Tongtong had giarized Qiao Mus work and turned Qiao Mus work into her own brand. He definitely could not pretend that he did not know about this. In this industry, his biggest taboo was giarism!
When he saw Qiao Mu, he seemed to see his own shadow from back then. His works had been stolen and used by others, but he was helpless! His current status was achieved step by step by himself, so he was extra attentive to Qiao Mus matters. Qiao Mu had Li Yan as her backer, but she did not ask Li Yan to help her build connections in this circle. This meant that this girl had ambition and did not want to rely on others. She wanted to rely on her own abilities! Reality proved that his choice was correct. Qiao Mu did not disappoint him. Amy left the office with her hands clenched into fists. Her expression was ugly. She had never made a mistake in her work after being by Keys side for so many years, and she would never let Key get angry because of her. However, Qiao Mu, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, gave her such an experience! When she passed by the bathroom door, she heard two people washing their hands and chatting. The new autumn product will be on sale soon. Our department has been working overnight and is extremely busy with that Qiao Mus new product. If it werent for her sudden incident, we wouldnt be so tired. Qiao Mu has potential. Key is now promoting her and even removed designer Chens works from the shelves. Its good that shes capable! What do you mean by capable? To be honest, its all because of her good looks.
I dont see any beautiful clothes that she designs. But her clothes have been on the official website for a few days. The sales are very hot. Buyers dont look at the designers looks. Thats because of the promotion of the Key brand. If it doesnt be popr after such a huge promotion, itll be hopeless. If I design a set of clothes and sell it on the official website, it will definitely not be worse than her. Everyone blindly praises the Key brand. But what you said makes sense.. Many fans are here for KY Chapter 627: My Boyfriend Is Not in the Same Profession Chapter 627: My Boyfriend Is Not in the Same Profession
Trantor: 549690339 As the two of them spoke, they turned around and walked out. They were in the middle of a heated conversation when they suddenly saw Amy at the door. Their expressions changed and they immediately stopped the topic.
Director Amy. The two women lowered their heads and greeted him. Amy sneered. Tell me, why arent you continuing? Director Amy, were just talking casually .. Casually? Can you say it casually? Amy red at one of them. You said that your design is more popr than Qiao Mus. If you have this ambition, why didnt you tell me? Alright, Ill give you a chance. Try designing a set and sell it. Ill see if you can sell one! Do you think the client is blind? Shes willing to spend such an expensive price on just a random piece of clothing? The other party lowered her head and was reprimanded harshly. Director Amy, I was wrong. I was just too tired and wanted to chat and rx. I really didnt mean to offend the designer. Tired? Alright, since you feel tired, pack up and leave. Ill let you rx! Director, I really know my mistake! Director, please spare us this once. We wont talk nonsense anymore. Amys face darkened as she nced at the surrounding staff. This is thest time. If I hear any more gossip, dont me me for being unreasonable! After saying that, Amy left. Everyone looked at each other. Wasnt it just some boring gossip? Director Amy usually had a good temper. Why was she suddenly angry now?
Because of Amys warning, Qiao Mus working environment became much quieter, and she no longer heard those gossips. Amy brought Qiao Mu to the processing workshop to inspect the clothes. Someone saw Qiao Mu and asked enthusiastically, So youre the neer they were talking about. Youre really young and beautiful. Youre really clever. The woman who had previously been scolded by Amy for badmouthing Qiao Mu behind her back smiled at Qiao Mu. Designer Qiao, youre still a university student. I wonder if you have a boyfriend? Thats right, thats right. We have a lot of single handsome guys here. Designer Qiao, do you want to pick one? Someone jeered. Qiao Mu smiled and shook her head. Stop joking with me. At this moment, Amy spoke up. Designer Qiao already has a boyfriend. Hes not from Key Studio. Dont worry about her. Qiao Mu nced at Amy, who seemed to be deliberately trying to rify that her boyfriend was not from here. So thats how it is! When this matter is over, well have a gathering. Designer Qiao, you must bring your boyfriend to us. What if hes someone from here? The woman smiled, her tone implying something. Recently, someone had been gossiping about Qiao Mu being given preferential treatment because she had hooked up with a Key. He wondered if these two people were really rted. Qiao Mu nced at him and said indifferently, My boyfriend is not in this industry.
Then you have to bring him here. You have to tell him how amazing Designer Qiao is in thepany. Joe could tell that the other partys tone was not friendly, so he nodded and ignored the other party. Amy followed Qiao Mu out of the processing workshop. Qiao Mu, do you know how influential those gossips are now? Everyone is suspecting your rtionship with Key! They ignore your ability and think of you as someone who relied on other methods to get to the top. Do you really not care? Qiao Mu smiled nonchntly. Thank you for your concern, Teacher Amy. Ill be leaving in two days when the new autumn collection is over. All the discussions will be dispelled then..

Trantor: 549690339 Before Qiao Mu got off work, she did not see Chen Ou. ording to Chen Out s assistant, Chen Ou had left work early and said that he was not feeling well, so he went to the hospital.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu could not help butugh. Did she break him with just one kick? That was simplyToo fragile! Qiao Mu happily got off work. When she returned to the Li residence, Li Yan was not at home. Qiao Mu entered the kitchen in a good mood. She had been too busy these few days and had neglected her uncle, so she had to make a feast to reward her uncles stomach. Only by capturing a mans stomach could she capture his heart! The butler stepped forward. Miss Qiao, youve had a tiring day. You still have to go home to cook. Young Master will be heartbroken if he knows. Qiao Mu smiled embarrassedly when she heard that Li Yan felt sorry for her. Its alright, Uncle Chen. Im not tired. The butler was about to say something when a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. It was as if a rocket had rushed in. Mumu, is my precious daughter at home? Qiao Mu was speechless. Who else could it be but Yu Yiduo? When Qiao Mu walked out of the kitchen, she saw Yu Yiduo quickly rushing to Qiao Mu. When she saw that Qiao Mu was wearing an apron, she frowned and grabbed Qiao Mus hand with heartache. Mu Mu, who told you to do such menial work? Your hands are used for drawing and designing clothes. Dont spoil that kid, Li Yan. If you want to eat, go make your own food. Qiao Mus lips twitched. Auntie, I just wanted to cook dinner for Uncle on a whim. He didnt force me to do it.
That wont do! Women cant always go into the kitchen. Once or twice is enough. If you keep your head down in the kitchen, the crown will fall off. Qiao Mu was speechless. Ms. Yu, can you be any more ridiculous? Yu Yiduo suddenly thought of serious matters and pulled Qiao Mu to sit on the sofa. Mu Mu, Im someone who cant keep up with the times, and I only know now that youve been bullied. That Ning Tongtong is really infuriating. She actually dared to use you of giarizing her! Qiao Mu smiled and consoled her. Auntie, its alright now. Its all in the past. When the new autumn products are released, the audiences eyes will be bright. Sigh, I just cant take it anymore. Ive seen Shu Xinyu before. How did she raise such a daughter?! Dont be angry. Ill cook a feast for you tonight. She was the one being bullied, but in the end, she was the oneforting Ms. Yu. Alright, alright, Im in luck! Yu Yiduos eyes lit up, and her smile suddenly disappeared. She stared at Qiao Mu suspiciously. Is the food you cooked edible? Qiao Mu was speechless. She wanted to say that it would definitely be better than yours, but she didnt dare to say it.
In the next second, Yu Yiduos arrogance was extinguished. She leaned listlessly on the sofa, her face full of Im not happy . Auntie, whats wrong? After Qiao Mu asked, Yu Yiduo sat up straight and said aggressively, Mu Mu, let me tell you Qiao Mu suddenly felt like she shouldnt have asked. Why was she so nosy?! Then, Yu Yiduo rattled on and on about what happened. She bought a big durian from the street and ate a piece of durian meat. She closed the durian shell and put it in a stic bag. The stic bag was ck. In order to prevent the durian from pricking her hand, she wrapped it in ayer of newspaper. She put it on the coffee table and wanted to eat it after dinner.. In the end, when Li Zheng came home, he threw her durian away as garbage when she wasnt paying attention! Chapter 629: Likes to Call Her Husband Uncle Chapter 629: Likes to Call Her Husband Uncle
Trantor: 549690339 Yu Yiduo was furious. Mu Mu, do you think he did it on purpose? He didnt like me eating durians, so he pretended to think that it was a garbage bag. His garbage bag was on the coffee table! Qiao Mu was speechless. Auntie, his house is your house, okay?
Yu Yiduo didnt wait for Qiao Mus response and pushed her. Are you angry at his behavior too? Auntie, maybe Uncle really thought that it was a trash bag, or maybe he thought that you had already finished eating. Impossible! He did it on purpose. Let him do it on purpose. Ill leave home and see if hes in a hurry! Qiao Mu did not know whether tough or cry. Li Yans mother was not young, yet she could still maintain such a childlike innocence. It was obvious that Li Yans father doted on her. Oiao Mu didnt know how to Dersuade him. so she could onlv wait for Li Yan to return home to settle it. Auntie, stay for dinner first and calm down. But I want to eat durian. Qiao Mu subconsciously gulped. We dont have durians at home. Mu Mu, call Li Yan and ask him to buy it for you. Tell him that you want to eat it. Qiao Mu was speechless. She couldnt push the me onto her like this. However, she did want to eat it. Under Yu Yiduos coercion, Qiao Mu picked up her phone and called Li Yan. When the call connected, Qiao Mu asked, Uncle, when are youing back?
Im already on the way. Do you know that you miss me? The mans deep voice sounded. Qiao Mu nced at Yu Yiduo and lightly coughed. She then said in a negotiating tone, Uncle, I suddenly feel like eating durian. Can you bring a durian back? Why do you suddenly want to eat that thing? Are you too tired from work and dont want me to touch you, so you deliberately ate it to make me dislike you? Qiao Mu was speechless. No, Im not in a good mood at work today, so I craved this. I want to eat it to calm down. If I remember correctly, eating durians is easy to get angry. Im fighting fire with fire. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she saw Yu Yiduo give her a thumbs up and give her a thumbs up. Immediately after, Qiao Mu added, Uncle, I really ran into some trouble at work today. Buy me a durian and Ill tell you what happened today. Under Qiao Mus repeated pleas, Li Yan finally reluctantly agreed. Yu Yiduo didnt feel happy at all. She sighed and said, Sigh,paring people is infuriating. If you ask him to buy it, he will buy it. Why is your man more considerate than my man? Qiao Mu was speechless. My man is your son, okay? Soon, Li Yan returned with a big durian.
Yu Yiduo went up to him and took the durian. Thank you, son. Li Yan frowned and looked at the innocent little woman beside him. Then, he understood why the little woman suddenly wanted to eat durians. Qiao Mu continued to work in the kitchen. Li Yan followed her and said with a smile, Youve be so virtuous now? Do you still have to go home to serve your husband after work? Hubby This was the first time he had heard him call her that. Qiao Mu couldnt help but blush and re at him. What husband? Shameless! Yeah, youre shameless. Youre just a little pervert who likes to call her husband uncle. Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mus tone was very bad. Its just that I feel that Ive been too busy these past few days. Now, I want to reward you. Forget it if you dont appreciate it! I appreciate it. Li Yans lips curled up. He took the vegetables from her hands and pulled her into his arms. You said on the phone that you were in trouble at thepany.. Shouldnt you tell me now?
Chapter 630: Let Me Tell You, You Can’t Be Angry Chapter 630: Let Me Tell You, You Cant Be Angry
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest. Ill tell you, but you promise not to get angry. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. It seemed like this was something that he would definitely be angry about.
He nodded and waited for the little woman to continue. Actually, someone came to harass me Qiao Mu had just opened her mouth when she saw Li Yans expression change. He immediately emphasized, Dont be angry! He didnt do anything to me. I kicked him and sent him to the hospital. I taught him a lesson. Qiao Mu was exaggerating a little to deliberately appease Li Yan. Li Yan furrowed his brows. He was definitely angry, but when he saw how happy and proud the little woman looked after she had solved the problem herself, he did not have the heart to hurt her. Seeing how happy she was, he knew that she did not suffer a loss. He raised his hand and patted her head. Mmm, my little thing is awesome. Qiao Mu grinned from ear to ear at his praise. She was extremely happy, and after some thought, she asked, Uncle, what if I really kick someone bad? Go ahead and do it. If you cause any trouble, Im here. This sentence made Qiao Mus mood even more beautiful. The air was filled with the fragrance of durians. Unable to resist the temptation, Qiao Mu walked out of the kitchen and saw Yu Yiduo sitting on the sofa like a mouse, watching television and eating durians. Qiao Mu walked over and saw arge durian. Half of its meat was already gone.
Her little face scrunched up into a ball as she rushed over. Auntie, why did you eat so much in one go? Leave two pieces for me. I thought you didnt have time to eat! Yu Yiduo ate happily. Qiao Mu stopped cooking and started eating as she sat down, worried that she would be finished. On the other side, Li Yan dialed Lei Yis number. Find me the name list of the designers at Key Studio. Get someone to keep an eye on them. Report to me if theres anything. After Li Yan finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a cold expression. To dare to have thoughts about his woman, he would not let it go just by kicking her! At this moment,ughter rang out from the living room. When he looked over, he saw Yu Yiduo and Qiao Mu chatting about something and eating happily. The coldness on his face disappeared bit by bit. As he walked over, the door was suddenly pushed open. Li Zheng came. Seeing Li Zheng, Yu Yiduo snorted and ate the durian in big mouthfuls. What are you doing here? Li Zheng stood at the door and didnt move. He straightened his back and looked at Yu Yiduo. He said arrogantly, Come home with me! No! Dont disturb me from eating durians! Yu Yiduo didnt lose face at all.
Li Zheng frowned and took out the imposing manner of a boss. Ill say it again. Come home with me! I wont! You threw my durian away, what are you so arrogant for! Youre not going back? I have ten durians in my car. If you donte back with me, Ill throw them away. Yu Yiduos eyes widened. Really? Come out and take a look for yourself. In the next second, Yu Yiduo jumped up and threw away the half-eaten durian. She ran to the door and said, Hubby, seeing that you are so sincere, I will forgive you this once. She still wanted to make trouble with Yu Yiduo for a while, but Li Zheng understood her well and coaxed her with just one sentence. Qiao Mu raised her head and looked at Li Yan enviously. Uncle, you should learn from your father. If Im angry with you in the future, you can coax me like this. Using ten durians to coax you? Li Yan did not understand at all. Qiao Mu corrected him very seriously. You can use whatever I like to coax me, but you have to face things properly, understand? I know. It was rare for Young Master Li to be so obedient.
Then, she heard the maic voice again. You like me. If youre angry in the future, Ill give myself to you. Qiao Mu was speechless.. Chapter 631: Separating From Uncle Chapter 631: Separating From Uncle
Trantor: 549690339 The next two days would be the busiest time for the fall fashion show. Chen Ou did not cause trouble for Qiao Mu anymore. It was not that he did not want to, but he was busy.
Once, when they bumped into each other in the corridor, Chen Ou red at Qiao Mu fiercely. You dont have to be so arrogant. Ill settle this score with you! Qiao Mu was unconcerned. If you want to be taught a lesson again, then continue! Next time, I wont show mercy. You Good! Qiao Mu, lets see how long you canst! Chen Ou waved his hand and left. Qiao Mu continued to be busy with her own matters, and then the release of the new autumn products arrived. The fashion show for the new autumn collection was being held in A City, and Qiao Mu, as a photographer, had to go with them. So, that meant that she was going to separate from Li Yan. Qiao Mu had to rush over in the morning to prepare for the fashion show the next day. Early in the morning, Li Yans expression was already very bad, so Qiao Mu coaxed him incessantly. Uncle, dont be unhappy. Im only going for one night. Ill rush back after the fashion show tomorrow. Hmph, I think youre quite happy to be separated from me! Of course Im happy! How could he not be happy? This time, they were going to participate in Keys new autumn fashion show! What a rare opportunity! She had been looking forward to it for so long! However, could Qiao Mu admit that she was happy? Of course not!
Therefore, she pouted and hugged Li Yan pitifully. Uncle, I really dont want to be separated from you. It would be great if you coulde with me. Alright. Li Yans lips curled up and he agreed immediately. Qiao Mu was stunned. You really want to go? Li Yan looked at his watch. Lets go. Ill send you to the airport. Otherwise, you wont be able to leave if you miss your flight. Qiao Mu did not know whether Li Yan was going or not! Just as she was feeling a little hopeful, Li Yan left after sending her to the airport! Needless to say, Qiao Mu was furious. He didnt go, but he tricked her! Qiao Mu met up with Keys group and boarded the ne. Li Yan rushed back to thepany for a meeting! If it wasnt for the fact that his schedule was full today and the meeting was important, he really wanted to apany the little woman. However, he had to settle the matter first.
In the evening, Li Yan finally finished his work. He stood up and walked out of the office. Lei Yi came up to him. President, are you going home or? Since Miss Qiao wasnt home, Young Master Li probably wouldnt be in the mood to go home alone, right? To A City. Lei Yi thought he was hearing things when Li Yan suddenly said that. He looked at Li Yan with uncertainty. Immediately after, Li Yan repeated in a good mood, Prepare the helicopter. Im going to City A. Lei Yi was speechless. Boss, cant you bear to leave your husband for one night? City A After Qiao Mu arrived at her destination, she started preparing for tomorrows fashion show.
The venue for the fashion show was set in the hotel they were staying in. Every designer had to move their work to their room first. They could only bring the clothes to the venue on the day of the fashion show tomorrow, just in case something went wrong. The other designers all had assistants, but Qiao Mu was alone. When they were moving the clothes, Chen Ou stepped forward. Xiao Qiao, let me help you. Qiao Mu immediately became alert. She would never let Chen Ou have the chance to enter her room! Teacher Chen, Qiao Mu said with a fake smile, I wont trouble you. I can do it myself. Designer Qiao, someone said. Dont crush your small frame when youre moving these things. Let Teacher Chen help you. Qiao Mu shook her head. Theres really no need. I can do it. [There are two more updates. Its time to torture Chen Ou..] Chapter 632: Help! Chapter 632: Help!
Trantor: 549690339 However, Chen Ou did not take Qiao Mus rejection seriously. He directly took her luggage and walked into the hotel. Qiao Mus eyes darkened, and her brain worked. She handed the other box to Leo. Teacher Leo, help me with this. This is too heavy, Ill carry a lighter one in your hand.
Leo smiled as he took Qiao Mus luggage. I was just saying that two suitcases are fine, but now youre starting to look delicate. Qiao Mu smiled and followed Leo into the elevator. When they arrived at their floor, they began to divide the rooms. Chen Outs room was next to Qiao Mus, and on the other side was Leo. Opposite them were Key and Amy, while the rest were distributed throughout the floor. When they reached the door, Qiao Mu did not enter her room. Instead, she helped Leo move his things into his room Qiao Mu turned around and saw Chen Ou standing at the door with her suitcase. She smiled and said, Teacher Chen, just leave the things at the door. Ill move them into the room myself. Seeing Qiao Mus heightened vignce, Chen Ou sneered and returned to his room. Qiao Mu only returned to her room at ease after seeing him leave and moved her things into the house. She tidied up her clothes in the room. When it was time to gather, she went to Leos door and Imocked. Now, she had to be with someone else for all her actions. She couldnt give Chen Ou the chance to meet her alone, especially now that she was outside and her uncle wasnt by her side. The door opened. Qiao Mu was about to ask Leo if he was done packing and go downstairs with him when a sudden force grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the room.
She was shocked to see Chen Ous face in front of her. This was clearly Leos room! Qiao Mu did not have time to think and subconsciously raised her leg to kick the other party. However, Chen Ou had suffered a loss thest time, so he was prepared this time and directly dodged Qiao Mus attack. Qiao Mu, lets see if you can escape from me today! I gave you a choice, but you didnt choose. You insisted that I do it myself! Chen Ou was very strong. He threw Qiao Mu against the wall, causing her back to hurt. When she saw Chen Ou walk forward, Qiao Mu frantically fumbled around on the shelf behind her. She casually found something and threw it at Chen Ous head. Chen Ou cried out in pain and fiercely pounced toward Qiao Mu. Youre courting death! Ill tame you today. I can do anything to men, but you cant do anything to a woman! At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Brother Chen, you left your bag in my room, Leo said from outside the door. Hearing Leos voice, Qiao Mu shouted, Teacher Leo, help! Chen Ou frowned in fear. Shut up!
Whats that sound? Qiao Mu pushed Chen Ou away when he wasnt paying attention, and she quickly rushed to the door, opened it, and rushed out. Leo, who was standing outside the door, was shocked. Qiao Mu, why are you Whats going on? Leo looked at this scene in astonishment. The kettle in the room fell to the ground, and Chen Ou and Qiao Mu were in the same room Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief and coldly looked at Chen Ou in the room. Ask him what exactly happened! In just a moment, Chen Outs expression returned to normal. Its nothing. Xiao Qiao and I are discussing the design. Who would believe this? At this moment, Key, Amy, and some staff members heard the noise and came out. Key looked over.. What are you guys doing at the entrance? Chapter 633: Distorting the Truth Chapter 633: Distorting the Truth
Trantor: 549690339 Leo looked at Chen Ou. Brother Chen, what did you do to Qiao Mu in the room just now? Leos words stunned everyone.
Qiao Mu and Chen Ou were alone in the room just now? These two people Everyones gaze shifted to Qiao Mu and Chen Ou. Qiao Mu smiled coldly and bluntly said, I came to look for Teacher Leo just now, but it was Teacher Chen who opened the door. Then, Teacher Chen dragged me into the room. Teacher Leo happened to knock on the door, so I escaped. Qiao Mus words were even more shocking, causing everyone to be stunned. Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd, Teacher Chen versus Qiao Mu? How was that possible? Everyone knew that Teacher Chen was a He likes the same sex! Thats right, we all know this. How could he possibly Key looked at Chen Ou coldly. Chen Ou, what happened? Chen Ou calmly nced at Qiao Mu and sighed. Xiao Qiao, Ive been good to you because youre a newbie. Its only right for me to take care of you, but you cant nder me like this and twist the truth. When I opened the door and saw that it was me, you said that you wanted toe in and have a seat. When you entered the room, you threw yourself into my arms. I told you that I didnt like you, but you didnt seed. Instead, you turned around and bit me! Qiao Mu took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. She had never seen such a shameless person who could actually push all the me onto her as if nothing had happened! As soon as Chen Ou said that, most of the people present were on his side. After all, Chen Ou was a senior, and his character was not bad. Furthermore, everyone knew that he liked men, so they did not believe that he would do anything to Qiao Mu.
Since it was not Chen Ou who had feelings for Qiao Mu, then Qiao Mu must have directed and acted out this whole thing? But why? Even if Qiao Mu wanted to suck up to him, she would have to suck up to Key. Her rtionship with Key had always been discussed by everyone. Key was so protective of her, and it made people think that their rtionship was abnormal. Why would hey his hands on a designer like Chen Ou? Teacher Chen, why would Qiao Mu do such a thing to you? someone asked. Yeah, she doesnt have a reason! Chen Ou said regretfully, She just told me that she wanted me to reveal the theme of the finals to her. Shes already very outstanding, so I dont understand why she chose this crooked path! Nonsense! Qiao Mu was furious. Realizing that she was agitated, she calmed her breathing and looked at Key. Teacher Key, it was Chen Ou who used the theme of the finals to force me. I didnt agree to it, so he kept targeting me. You know that even if I wanted to get in through the back door, I dont need to waste time on him! Qiao Mu only wanted to tell Key that she would not do such a thing. She had Li Yan as her backer, so it would be easy for her to take shortcuts in the finals. However, in the ears of others, these words became something between Qiao Mu and the Key. For a moment, everyone looked at Qiao Mu in dissatisfaction. Designer Qiao, how can you be so insidious? You pushed the me onto Teacher Chen when the matter was exposed. Fortunately, Teacher Chen doesnt like women. Otherwise, you would really have dirtied her!
Qiao Mus expression turned cold as she retorted, How do you know he doesnt like women? Dont tell me that he wont like women when hes with a man? You How disgusting.. How dare you say such a thing! Chapter 634: Being Verbally Attacked Chapter 634: Being Verbally Attacked
Trantor: 549690339 Chen Outs assistant stepped forward. Qiao Mu, to think that Teacher Chen took such good care of you and even removed his own work to fulfill your wish. Yet, you dont know whats good for you. Youre really vicious!
Thats right. We all know Teacher Chens character. Hes always done his duty and would never do what Qiao Mu said! This Qiao Mu is so scheming at such a young age. Are all university students nowadays so unscrupulous to achieve their goals? Isnt she suspected of giarizing other contestants works? I didnt believe it in the past and thought it was just a rumor. Now it seems that its most likely! Leo frowned and interrupted the discussion. Dont spout nonsense. Qiao Mu has a boyfriend, so she wouldnt do such a thing. Teacher Leo, youre too naive. Whats wrong with having a boyfriend? Girls nowadays are willing to do anything for fame and fortune! Yeah, otherwise, it would be a waste of such good external conditions. Enough! Why are you girls so vulgar? Teacher Leo, youre so protective of Qiao Mu. Could it be that you have something going on with her? You guys seem to be very close. Qiao Mus face darkened as she listened to the others hurling insults at her. Her cold eyes swept across those people. Dont think of me with your dirty thoughts! These people attacked her fiercely, treating her like an alien, but they did not know that the words they said had already revealed their disgusting faces. She raised her head and saw Chen Outs eyes sh with a hint of sess, as if he was saying that she couldnt do anything to him.
At this time, Chen Ou pretended to be a good person and said, Dont say anymore. Qiao Mu is still young and doesnt know any better. She just wants to show off her results in thepetition too much. Chen Ous words made everyone even angrier. Teacher Chen, you cant be so merciful to her. You must make her pay the price! This time, she could have thoughts about you. Next time, she will definitely have thoughts about others. Someone looked at Key. Teacher Key, arent you going to stop this? No matter how much you take care of Qiao Mu, how can thepetition tolerate her for doing such a thing? Isnt this your greatest taboo? Chen Ou smiled proudly in his heart. Thats right, this was what he wanted! Since Qiao Mu was seeking her own death, he would grant her wish and let her die thoroughly! As long as he could disqualify her from thepetition, he would be able toplete the task Shu Xinyu had given him. To him, themission was a huge fortune! Chen Ou looked at Key and said tactfully, Key, for the sake of Qiao Mu being the primary culprit, lets go easy on her. Its not easy for her either. After all, shes talented. Chen Ou knew that Key could not tolerate sand in his eyes. The thing he could not ept the most was someone who had obtained benefits through devious means. Since Qiao Mu had done such a thing, he would definitely not let her off the hook. However, his words of ttery revealed his magnanimity without changing the oue. Amy was the first to speak up. Key, we really cant protect Qiao Mu anymore after what she did. If he still wanted to protect Qiao Mu in this state, then it really meant that there was something going on between him and Qiao Mu!
Keys cold gazended on Qiao Mus face before shifting to Chen Ou after a while. Since Chen Ou has already spoken up for Qiao Mu, lets put this matter aside for now. What? Everyone was shocked.. They didnt expect that Key would use such a method to solve this matter! Chapter 635: Make Qiao Mu Pay the Price Chapter 635: Make Qiao Mu Pay the Price
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Keys words. She then saw Chen Outs eyes widen in disbelief. He had never expected Key to make such a ruling. Key, you mean you wont take this matter to heart? Chen Ou frowned.
Teacher Key, isnt this too unfair? How can you protect Qiao Mu like this! In the future, our working environment will only be more and more chaotic! Key, isnt this a little too hasty? Amy couldnt help but ask. Key raised his eyebrows. Didnt Chen Ou say that he wouldnt mind? But Chen Ous expression was ugly. We have to make Qiao Mu pay a price. Otherwise, others will say that this is the end. Qiao Mu red at Chen Ou. No one saw the truth with their own eyes, and you want to disqualify me from thepetition just because of a single sentence from you? You Key said coldly, What exactly happened? Well deal with it after the fashion show. Ill get to the bottom of it. No matter who lied, I wont let them off. Chen Ous expression changed. He didnt expect Key to not believe him! Someone whispered, Who else could be lying? Could it be that Teacher Chen did something to Qiao Mu? Thats obviously impossible! Qiao Mus eyes darkened. So, just because of this, youre certain that I did it? This room was originally Teacher Leos. Now that the person had suddenly changed, who was more suspicious? You guys havent figured out whats going on yet and youre attacking me. Are you going to say that Im a girl and that Im worthless before you feel happy? This sentence made many people feel guilty.
They had to admit that when they heard Chen Ous words, they were indeed very happy. When they thought about how capable Qiao Mu was at such a young age, which one of them wasnt jealous? When he found out that he had relied on such underhanded methods to get to the top, he finally felt a little more at ease. Leo spoke up at the right time, I dont want toment on Teacher Chen, but what I saw was indeed Qiao Mu rushing out in a panic, and I even heard a Chen Ou swung his hand angrily. Leo, I didnt expect you to twist the truth as well! I didnt want to fuss about this matter at first, but now you have to give me an exnation! Because Key said that he would resolve this matter after the fashion show, everyone quickly dispersed and went to do business. Leo patted Qiao Mus shoulder. Lets settle the fashion show first. Key will definitely give us a reasonable exnation for this. If Chen Ou really did something like that to you, Key wont sit idly by. Qiao Mu looked at him. Teacher Leo, do you not believe me either? Its not that I dont trust you. I know you have a boyfriend, and he doesnt look like an ordinary person. You wouldnt do anything to Chen Ou even if you wanted to get in through the back door. What makes me wonder is that Chen Ou really likes men. Everyone doesnt believe you because theyre certain about this. Leo did not Imow Li Yans identity, but judging from Li Yans noble temperament, he was not an ordinary person. What if I say that Chen Ou likes both men and women?
Leos eyes widened in shock. No way, this cant be that weird, right? Qiao Mus lips twitched and she smiled helplessly. It was just so bizarre.. Chapter 636: Believe in Qjao Mu’s Character Chapter 636: Believe in Qjao Mus Character
Trantor: 549690339 These peoples thoughts were still very simple. They thought that Chen Ou liked men. They never thought that while he liked men, that scum also liked women! Watching the crowd disperse, Amy followed Key and couldnt help but say,
Key, if you do this, it will make everyone feel unbnced. Whats wrong? Even you believe Chen Ous words? Do you expect me to believe Qiao Mus words? A person who likes men, but to her Key curled his lips coldly. Its not impossible. Dont forget that Qiao Mu has Li Yan. The possibility of her doing something like this is negative. Amy thought for a moment. Maybe shes not that important to Li Yan at all? Li Yan has been helping her all the way here. Now that Li Yan doesnt want to help her anymore, shes thinking of a way out on her own. No, I believe in Qiao Mus character. Key sounded very certain. Amy, who was following behind him, clenched her fists tightly. He said that he believed in Qiao Mu, a woman he had just met! Qiao Mus heart was filled with joy the entire afternoon. As long as Chen Ou insisted that he didnt like women, there was nothing she could do! As she busied herself in the exhibition hall, Qiao Mu would asionally hear people brazenly discussing her from the side, their words full of sarcasm and attacks. Qiao Mu really wanted to shout that if she really wanted to rely on a man to get to the top, she wouldnt have fallen for a disgusting man like Chen Ou. He couldnt evenpare to a strand of hair on her uncles head!
When she thought of Li Yan, Qiao Mu felt very wronged. Her work was really not going well. Why was it so difficult to advance through her own efforts?! She went to the corner and called Li Yan. Li Yan was about to board the helicopter. Lei Yi went to the side to answer a call. When he came back, his expression became serious. Young Master, the person I arranged to be by Miss Qiaos side has just informed me that Miss Qiao has encountered some trouble in City A. Li Yan stopped in his tracks and his eyes darkened. Whats wrong? Someone in the hotel wants to do something to Miss Qiao At this point, she looked at the man in front of her and continued, He didnt seed. He found out and used Miss Qiao of deliberately getting close to him in order to get ahead. Miss Qiaos situation is a little bad. Li Yans expression instantly turned cold. He strode into the helicopter with a sinister and frightening expression. Dont worry, Miss Qiao isnt hurt, Lei Yi quickly emphasized. Lei Yi was justforting Li Yan out of goodwill, but his words just happened to ignite the fire. You want me to be at ease? If your woman is targeted, will you be at ease? Lei Yi was speechless. At this moment, Li Yans phone rang. He quickly picked up the call when he saw the caller ID. The gentle voice of a little woman sounded from the other end of the phone.
Uncle. Li Yan did not ask directly. He said nonchntly, ls everything going well on your side? Im alright. Qiao Mu crouched on the stairs. She did not want to say it out loud and make him anxious, so she could only deal with it. What do you mean? Anyway, its fine. Qiao Mus voice sounded pitiful. Uncle, I miss you. Her words carried a trace of grievance, causing Li Yans heart to surge. He wished he could fly to her side and hug her. Li Yan answered softly into the phone, Mmm, I missed you too. I can see you tomorrow. Listening to the mans words and thinking about thements and denials of the people around her, she felt very ufortable.. Chapter 637: It’s Not Difficult to Get Evidence Chapter 637: Its Not Difficult to Get Evidence
Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans heart tightened. Why does it sound like youre about to cry? I miss you.
Li Yans heart ached. As the helicopter was about to take off, he said into the phone, Be good. I have something to do now. Ill contact youter. If you have something important, you can ignore it even if I miss you! Its really important. Ill exin it to you soon. Then say that you miss me. Qiao Mu stubbornly refused to hang up. Be good, I miss you. You said that you missed me so much that you were going crazy. Yes, I miss you so much that Ive gone crazy. Li Yan was very proactive. Qiao Mu was originally in a terrible mood, but when she heard the mans words, she suddenlyughed. Then why dont you go crazy and show me? Li Yan was speechless. Alright, after we meet, Ill go crazy for you to see. Only then did Qiao Mu let Li Yan go in satisfaction, and she was finally willing to hang up.
Qiao Mu put away her phone and turned around. She was shocked to see Key standing behind her. Teacher Key, when did you get here? Qiao Mu stared at him in a daze. From the moment you called. Key looked at the girl in front of him. When she was on the phone just now, she looked very wronged. She turned around and immediately returned to normal when she saw him. She kept her emotions away. At this time, she could have wronged him and asked him to make decisions for her. But she didnt. Just like when she was on the phone just now, she could have told the person on the other end of the phone. As long as she said it and let the other party know, that man would definitely resolve this matter directly. Key originally thought that the rtionship between Li Yan and Qiao Mu was merely built on a certain level. Just like Amy said, perhaps Li Yan would lose interest in Qiao Mu in the blink of an eye. After all, such a high and mighty man had almost the entire world in his hands. How could he take this little girl seriously? Maybe she was just looking for a young and beautiful girl. Anyone who saw it would think that Li Yan was just ying. However, that was not the case.
When they heard the contents of their conversation, Qiao Mus tone and her childish and willful actions made her sound like she was speaking sweet nothings to her lover. It was impossible for anyone to imagine that the person on the other end of the line was the cold and aloof Li Yan. Perhaps he was wrong. Qiao Mu stood rooted to the spot, feeling awkward. Key had heard her conversation with Li Yan just now? Key crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at her calmly. Qiao Mu, why didnt you tell Li Yan about what happened? Qiao Mu was stunned. Why should I tell him? You dont want him to seek justice for you? Qiao Mu shook her head. Telling him about this will only make him angry. Its fine if Im the only one unhappy, but I dont want him to be unhappy too. He paused for a moment, and a smile shed across his big eyes. Besides, I have a clear conscience. Even if he doesnt need toe forward, I believe that Key will definitely stand up for me. The girls eyes were shining, and her beautiful face was very moving. She trusted him as if it was a matter of course. She had never suspected him of making a wrong decision or favoring Chen Ou.
Key looked at her and said, Im neutral. I only believe in evidence. If you want me to believe you, you have to show me evidence. Qiao Mu watched as Key turned around and was about to leave after he finished speaking. At this moment, he spoke again, Its not difficult to obtain evidence.. You can Chapter 638: You Want to Murder Your Husband? Chapter 638: You Want to Murder Your Husband?
Trantor: 549690339 When Qiao Mu left the exhibition hall, she bumped into Chen Ou. Chen Ou looked at her with disdain. You still have the face to show your face here? Do you really not take other peoplesments seriously?
Qiao Mu put her hand into her pocket and secretly tapped on her phone. She looked at Chen Ou coldly. Do you think that youre being arrogant because your scheme seeded? You poured all the dirty water on me. I really didnt expect you to bite me back. Hmph, I got what I wanted? Didnt you hear Key say that he would investigate this matter after the incident? I say, Qiao Mu, I threw out such a huge temptation for you, but you refused to agree to my conditions. Did you hook up with Key long ago? Otherwise, why would he still protect you when its already set in stone? Qiao Mu was stunned. Shut up! Dont use your dirty thoughts to think that others are like you! Its not that Teacher Key believes me, he doesnt believe you. Who said that if you like men, you wont like women? Ha, those stupid pigs are sure that I only like men. They definitely dont know that I like both men and women! Back then, I was very frustrated when they found out that I liked men. But now, this matter has be my life-saving straw! Qiao Mu, lets wait and see! Qiao Mu really didnt want to continue facing Chen Ous disgusting face. She lifted her feet to leave, but she was stopped. Qiao Mu, Ill give you onest chance. If you obedientlye to my room tonight, I can deal with this matter. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you. If you still dont know your ce, then you wont be able to make it to the finals! Chen Ouughed wretchedly. Qiao Mu left in disgust. When she could no longer see Chen Ou, she took out her phone from her pocket. When she saw that the recording was still intact, the corners of her lips curled up. Key had given her a suggestion. If she wanted to get evidence, she had to get Chen Ou to speak up. This was more convincing than any verbal quibble! His mood, which had been gloomy for the entire afternoon, finally rxed a little. He had evidence in his hands. Lets see how Chen Ou would quibble! After getting the evidence, Qiao Mu was not in a hurry to report Chen Ou. After the fashion show ended, she would settle the score with Chen Ou! After she was done with her work, Qiao Mu did not go for dinner with the group of people. She did not want to be treated coldly by others, so she nned to return to her room to eat instant noodles to resolve her problems.
If the fashion show was sessful tomorrow, she would definitely make Li Yan reward her when she went back! She returned to her room and took out her room card to open the door. Just as she pushed the door open, a hand suddenly reached out from inside and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into the room. She had experienced such an experience during the day. The room was pitch-ck, and she couldnt see who the other party was. She was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat. Chen Ou was having dinner outside, so it was impossible for him to sneak into her room! Qiao Mu was about to scream when the mans body suddenly trapped her and sealed her lips. In the darkness, Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock, and she was so frightened that tears instantly flowed out of her eyes. She couldnt care less as she opened her mouth and fiercely bit the other partys lips. She lifted her leg and kicked the mans central important part! However, he kicked air! His tall body nimbly used his legs to block her attack, and he let out a muffled grunt. This little things bite was really vicious. That strength seemed to want to bite off a piece of meat from his lips. He hugged her tightly with both hands and stopped her from struggling. His low and deep voice rang in her ear, Little thing, do you want to murder your husband?
This voice Chapter 639: The Effect of Being Her Man Chapter 639: The Effect of Being Her Man
Trantor: 549690339 This familiar voice made Qiao Mus tense voice instantly rx. The tears that had umted in her eyes fell.
How was this possible? Why was he here? She really felt like she was dreaming. Then, she cried uncontrobly. If she could not be sure that it was him just by hearing his voice, then at this moment, her nerves rxed and she smelled the unique mint fragrance on his body, which made all her uneasiness disappear. The person in front of her was her uncle! Her uncle was here! Li Yan turned on the lights in the room and saw the little womans face full of tears. She was crying so hard. He lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely, sucking in all the tears in his mouth. However, Qiao Mu turned her face away in a fit of pique and ignored him. She continued to cry silently, her tears showing no signs of stopping. He lowered his head to kiss her again, and she avoided him again. In the end, she pushed him away and yelled at him as if she was venting her anger. Bastard, you scared me to death! Wuuuu You scared me to death!
Her choked voice was filled with great grievance. At that moment, she could no longer care about being happy. She was really scared to death just now. The scene during the day repeated itself, and in an instant, it made her feel as if she had fallen into hell. Li Yans heart ached, but he just narrowed his eyes and looked at her silently, allowing her to cry. After a while, Qiao Mu was tired from crying. Her tears had dried up, and she could only sob but not shed any tears. There was only thunder but not rain. In the end, she red at him angrily. Why arent you saying anything? Im so sad, arent you going tofort me? Li Yan snorted coldly. His handsome face was extremely cold. Do you need me tofort you? Qiao Mu was stunned. What kind of attitude was this?! Initially, she was very happy because he suddenly came to look for her. Although she did not have the time to show it, his attitude directly lowered her happiness to the lowest! Then, the man narrowed his cold eyes. Now, is it my turn to settle the score with you? What is itOh Before Qiao Mu could finish her question, a certain man kissed her again! This time, it came in a menacing manner, not giving her a chance to struggle at all! Li Yan kissed her fiercely, punishing her. Then, he hooked her waist and moved her to the big bed.
Qiao Mus delicate little body was mercilessly thrown onto the bed. The mans tall body pounced on her, and his imposing manner would definitely not show her any mercy! Qiao Mu took advantage of the fact that a certain mans head was buried in her chest to shout and question, Even if you want me to die, I have to die with an understanding. What did I do wrong that you have toe all the way here to punish me It hurt! Qiao Mu sucked in a breath of cold air. She felt a bite on her chest. This bastard! Qiao Mu red at him angrily, only to receive a cold re from a certain man that was even fiercer than hers. You havent reflected on yourself? What was she reflecting on No! An idea shed through Qiao Mus mind. There was only one thing that could make him so furious today! He definitely knew! Qiao Mu was about to say something, but the man didnt give her a chance to confess. He coldly said, You didnt tell me when you were bullied. How dare you hide such a serious matter from me and solve it alone? It was indeed this matter!
Qiao Mu felt wronged. He knew that she was bullied, but he still wanted to punish her! Li Yan narrowed his cold eyes.. Qiao Mu, Ill give you space to develop if you want to be independent, but do you think you can solve everything in this world by yourself? If you can, then why do you still want me as a man? Is it specially used for sex? Chapter 640: Kidney Failure Due to Stimulation? Chapter 640: Kidney Failure Due to Stimtion?
Trantor: 549690339 For sex? She had clearly rejected him on this matter, alright?
When this man was extremely angry, he could say anything! However, seeing him so angry, her mood was so good. All her unhappiness disappeared. Her uncle was worried about her, although the way he was worried was a little uneptable! Since you think that Im only so useful as a man, then Ill satisfy you! At this moment, the man used his actions to prove that he was very angry! He straightened his body, and when Qiao Mu waspletely caught off guard, his actions were very eager to possess her! Qiao Mu cried out, It hurts Ill do it if you hurt me! If I dont let you feel pain, you pig brain wont learn! Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu cried out in pain. She couldnt remember how long it had been since he had hurt her. Every time, he would always make her happy first and give her everything when she was fully prepared. He was always so gentle when it came to such matters and was concerned about her feelings.
From this incident, it was enough to prove that he was really, really angry this time! However, the pain did notst long. The mans repeated punishments made Qiao Mus body burn bit by bit. There was a strange feeling. After a while, the man said, Do you think your man is only so useful? Hmm? Qiao Mu was already panting and unable to speak. Do you still dare to do it in the future? No If you dont consider my feelings and bear everything alone, Ill punish you double next time! Unless you like this kind of punishment! Qiao Mu was speechless. Like your sister! Bastard!
Li Yan was originally in high spirits, but when he saw the tears on the little womans face that had yet to dry up, he began to me himself deeply. His movements suddenly stopped. He hugged her tightly, and his voice was no longer as arrogant and overbearing as before. Instead, it carried a hint of helplessness that made Qiao Mu absent-minded. Qiao Mu, dont make me worry anymore. Even if you want to be independent, letting me settle many things doesnt mean youre weak. Suddenly, Qiao Mus eyes became moist again. It was said that when a man did this kind of thing, all his rationality was cleared. There was only one thing in his mind to do. He had to finish it from the beginning and could not stop. But he stopped. How could this man be like this! She had never felt so happy before! She nodded in his embrace and ced her hands on his wet back. Uncle, I was wrong. In order to ease the atmosphere, Qiao Mu recklessly joked, Uncle, why did you stop? This is the first time youve stopped halfway. Are you done for? Could it be that I triggered it? Kidney failure? The emotions in Li Yans eyes disappeared instantly and were reced by extreme coldness. There was a scary smile in the coldness. That expression was too terrifying!
Do you know what you are saying? Qiao Mu felt a chill run down her spine. She was only joking to lighten the mood! He really didnt mean anything else! The mans body moved, and he was ready to strike somewhere in her body. How could there be any signs of kidney failure? He didnt even have a kidney deficiency, okay? Li Yan raised his hand to caress Qiao Mus face and lowered his head to kiss her gently. The corners of his lips curled up in a devilish manner.. Be good, Ill let you experience what kidney failure looks like! Chapter 641: The Consequences of Provoking the Tiger’s Authority Chapter 641: The Consequences of Provoking the Tigers Authority
Trantor: 549690339 Every time Qiao Mu recklessly challenged the tigers dignity, but every time she said something, she would end up regretting it the most in her life! Every time, she regretted it more than thest time. Because every time she provoked him, he would punish her twice as much!
For the next three hours, Qiao Mu spent her time in self-repentance and condemnation. In the end, she did not even have the strength to repent. Three hours had passed, but a certain tiger was still in high spirits. His appearance made people wonder if he had grown ten kidneys! Nestled in the mans embrace, Qiao Mu was so weak that she did not even have the strength to move her fingers and toes. She could only let him clean up the mess. After that, she wanted to sleep in a daze, but her stomach grumbled and protested against her. After venting his anger, the man turned back into Mr. Miyoshi and acted like a caring father. What do you want to eat? Ill get the hotel restaurant to send it to your room. Qiao Mu raised her eyelids and mumbled, 1 want to eat outside. City A was a famous food city with many specialties and delicacies. When she came, she wanted to go out and stroll around. Li Yan was definitely good-tempered. He got off the bed and handed the clothes to Qiao Mu. Do you need me to help you put them on? Qiao Mu grabbed the clothes and snorted. Dont think that Ill let you off just because youre so attentive to me at a time like this! Oh? Didnt you say that I missed you so much that I went crazy? Just now, it was a sign of madness. Qiao Mu was speechless.
F * ck! This mouth of his really made her unable to argue! Qiao Mu put on her clothes,bed her messy hair, and washed her face. She could finally go out and have a good meal. Li Yan held the little womans hand and left the hotel room. He brought his little woman out for a big meal! She had fed him until he was full, so he naturally had the obligation to feed her. Only by benefiting each other could they continue to work hard! When the door to Qiao Mus room opened, Chen Ou, who was in the room next to her, felt like a fish was about to take the bait. The door to his room was not closed, and he was waiting for Qiao Mu to deliver herself to him. However, when she heard the door of the room next door open and close, and the sound of footsteps approaching and then gradually disappearing, the anticipation in her heart was gone. He immediately went to the door to see what was going on. When the door opened, he saw a man and a woman walking past the corner at the end of the corridor. The woman was Qiao Mu, and that man Chen Ou didnt take a closer look. From the figure and back view, it should be Key!
Chen Outs expression changed drastically as he watched the two of them leave hand in hand. Indeed, Qiao Mu had hooked up with a Key! No wonder she didnt fall for his trick! Chen Ou was pacing back and forth in the room. Damn it, he had spent so much effort but got nothing! His entire body shuddered when he thought of Qiao Mus mesmerizing appearance. At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Chen Ous eyes lit up. Perhaps Qiao Mu had returned to look for him after coaxing Key away? He hurriedly opened the door and saw a sexy woman standing outside. Her curvaceous figure and beautiful face stimted his nerves. The woman entered the room and ced her hand on Chen Ous chest. She gently opened the cor of her nightgown. Oppa, Im your fan. I really like the clothes you designed. Chen Outs heart skipped a beat, and he impatiently pulled the woman into the room. Ten minutester, Chen Ou let out a blood-curdling scream. However, the soundproofing of the hotel room was too good, so no one noticed..
Chapter 642: He Was The Man Behind Her Chapter 642: He Was The Man Behind Her
Trantor: 549690339 The night in A City was very charming. Many specialty restaurants were open until midnight, so it was still very lively at 10 pm. Li Yan brought Qiao Mu to the most famous specialty restaurant and ate a table full of dishes. Because they had ordered too many dishes, there was a huge pile left. Qiao Mu was very reluctant to part with it. If she was in Beijing, she would definitely pack it up and bring it home. However, since she was staying in a hotel, she could not heat it up.
Looking at how the little woman knew how to live at home, Li Yan said helplessly,lf you like it, Ill open a simr restaurant when I go back. You can eat it all the time. Qiao Mu nodded happily. Uncle, when youre good to me, youre really good. Li Yan was speechless. What he meant was that when he treated her badly, he really did not treat her well. City A was a coastal city. After the meal, the two of them went to the seaside at Qiao Mus strong request. Initially, Li Yan was worried about her health. He had been busy all day during the day and exhausted from exercising at night. He still had work to do tomorrow and wanted her to go back to sleep early. However, who knew that the little womans physical fitness was actually so good. In just a short while, she was jumping and jumping. It seemed that he had still been merciful. Next time, he coulde even more violently- The autumn seaside wind was chilly, but fortunately, Li Yan had brought a jacket for Qiao Mu when they came out. Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand as they strolled along the beach. The two of them were like a young couple, enjoying the moment. Of course, Qiao Mu was still very young, but this kind of romance was a little off when it came to Li Yan, who was cold, aloof, and advanced in age. He was an older man who spent all his fun in life on the bed.
However, this was not a problem. It did not affect Li Yans interest at all. As long as he was with his little woman, there was nothing he couldnt do. Qiao Mu held Li Yans hand and shook it again and again. She asked a question after realizing what was going on, Uncle, why did you suddenlye? Is it because of this? No. Li Yan lowered his gaze and looked at her. In the next second, under Qiao Mus gaze, he slowly said, I nned this beforehand. Its my little womans first time officially attending a fashion show. As the man behind you, how can I note personally? These words were so thoughtful that it did not seem like they came from Li Yans mouth. Qiao Mu was so touched that her heart was in a mess. She actually had the thought that this nights punishment was worth it! She nudged him gently and expressed her gratitude generously. Uncle, thank you. The warmth in Li Yans eyes slowly faded away. Before Qiao Mu noticed, a hint of coldness shed across his eyes. I happened to run into this matter, so Ill take care of it while Im at it. Still dont want me to interfere? he asked after a pause. Qiao Mu smiled and shook her head. Actually, I already have a solution, and its all within my grasp. However, seeing how considerate you are, this prince agrees to let you assist this prince in handling it! In fact, Qiao Mu was a little puzzled. Li Yans men had been here for so long, yet they did not directly attack Chen Ou.
ording to his temper, he wouldnt let Chen Ou get through the night safely. Uncle, do you have a solution? Its not like you to let him live through the night safely and not do anything to him. It seems like you know me quite well. But how do you know that I didnt do anything to him? Qiao Mu was stunned. The mans gaze clearly showed that he had done something.. Chapter 643: This Man Belong to Her Alone Chapter 643: This Man Belong to Her Alone
Trantor: 549690339 The next day, the busy fashion show officially began. Even though Qiao Mu was so exhausted the night before that she almost copsed, she woke up in high spirits early in the morning without needing to think.
It was rare for the man beside her to be still sleeping after waking up. Qiao Mu leaned over and gently kissed his lips. The man slowly opened his eyes and wrapped his arm around her waist. Why are you awake so early? Im going to get busy. Uncle, you should sleep for a while more. She propped herself up with her arms, but before she could sit up, he pulled her into his arms and forbade her from getting up. Sleep with me for a while more. Uncle, I really have to get up. She sat up again, and he pulled her into his embrace again. After repeating this several times, Qiao Mu weaklyy on his chest. Li Yan flipped over and hugged Qiao Mu tightly under him. Sleep. Qiao Mu was speechless. Finally, after Qiao Mus resistance, she sessfully struggled to get out of bed. When Qiao Mu walked out of the room, she saw a few people in the corridor. Chen Ou, his assistant, and Leo.
Chen Ou limped in front of them, his posture very stiff. Leo asked in confusion, Teacher Chen, whats wrong with you? Are you limping from sleeping? Qiao Mu couldnt help but want tough. Leo was too direct. However, Chen Ous walking posture was indeed very abnormal. Could it be that a bolt of lightning had struck him in his sleep and given him a punishment? Qiao Mu was gloating when she saw Chen Ou turn his head with an ugly expression and re at her fiercely. His eyes seemed to be burning with fire. Qiao Mu, youre really sinister. You actually found someone to take revenge on me! Qiao Mu was stunned. Teacher Chen, what are you talking about? Why dont I understand? Youre the one who suffered retribution, but youre ming it on me? You Alright, just you wait. When the fashion show is over, Ill settle the score with you! After saying that, Chen Ou was supported by his assistant and limped into the elevator. Get even with you? Qiao Mu didnt understand who Chen Ou was referring to by you guys. Did you provoke him again? asked Leo curiously. No, I havent seen him since I was busy yesterday. I dont know what happened either. At this point, Qiao Mu suddenly thought of the man who was still sleeping in her room. Could it be Li Yan? Definitely! Li Yan must have done something to Chen Oust night, but what exactly did he do to make Chen Ou look like a disabled person?
No matter what Li Yan did, Qiao Mu gave him a thumbs up. He really deserved Next, the fashion show began. Li Yan stood in the front row of the audience and was as eye-catching as ever. Backstage, the women were discussing, Who is the man sitting in the first row? Hes so handsome, even more dazzling than the models on stage. I cant take my eyes off him! Are you stupid? Li Yan doesnt even know him. He has a partnership with our Key studio. He sponsored the finals of the fashion designpetition. I heard that during the semi-finals, Li Yans girlfriend had a conflict with the sponsor at that time, Shu Xinyu, so Li Yan epted the sponsorship to protect his girlfriend. What? He has a girlfriend? What a pity! Which woman is so lucky to be chosen by Li Yan? Who knows? Maybe theyll break up soon because of the novelty! Tsk, even if we split up, we wont have a chance! The corners of Qiao Mus lips curled up little by little as she listened to the discussions. She was extremely pleased with herself.. The man who had attracted the attention of all the women belonged to her alone! Chapter 644: His Little Woman Had Already Transformed Chapter 644: His Little Woman Had Already Transformed
Trantor: 549690339 Someone noticed that Qiao Mu was staring at Li Yan, who was in the audience, and said sarcastically, It seems that tall, rich, and handsome men are really attractive. Some peoples eyes start to shine when they see them. Could they be up to something shameful again? Does she think that everyone is as good- tempered as Teacher Chen? It wont end well if you offend Li Yan. He has a fiance.
Maybe someone is courting death? But thats true. Shes beautiful. I have the capital to take the risk! Thats right. We need to find a reliable backer as soon as possible. Otherwise, after the fashion show ends, well be in deep trouble if we find out the truth about yesterdays incident! Qiao Mu listened to the women huddled together and discussing in a moderate voice, not taking her existence seriously at all. She walked over and swept them with a cold gaze. You know the truth and havent found out yet, yet youre still gossiping here. I wonder what kind of thoughts you have? If Mr. Key finds out that his subordinates are all doing this kind of work, I wonder if Mr. Key will fire all of you in a fit of anger? Who would have thought that Qiao Mu would be so thick-skinned as toe up and continue the conversation? He originally thought that Qiao Mu would leave dejectedly after hearing these words out of guilt! And he even used the Key to fight back against them! Someone said indignantly, Qiao Mu, you really dont know how you charmed Key, but Teacher Key definitely didnt take the bait. Otherwise, you wouldnt have shifted your target to Teacher Chen. Even if you rely on a man to get to the top, just thinking about relying on a man who likes men makes you feel disgusted! If you have the ability, go seduce Li Yan! Qiao Mu raised her eyebrows and swept her gaze over the woman who spoke. Her eyes turned colder, and when she saw Chen Ou pass by, the corners of her lips curled up, and she raised her voice. Teacher Chen, someone looked down on you for liking men. They said that your preferences are disgusting. The womans expression changed. She quickly apologized to Chen Ou and emphasized that she didnt mean it that way. Chen Ous face was dark. He was still limping as he walked past her without saying a word. He would let her be arrogant now. He would strangle her to deathter! The group of women dispersed, and Leo came over in surprise. Qiao Mu, they said that the man in the audience is Li Yan? Qiao Mu nodded when she saw Leos shocked expression.
If Im not wrong, hes your boyfriend, right? Qiao Mu nodded again. This nod was met with Leos low growl. Qiao Mu, youre really hiding your true colors. Your boyfriend is actually Li Yan. If those women knew about this, they would be so shocked that their jaws would drop. Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Was this news that shocking? However, she didnt care what others thought of her. After this fashion show, she had nothing to do with these people who misunderstood her. The fashion show went smoothly. After preparing for half a month, it finally paid off. Qiao Mus work sessfully passed the autumnunch of the new product under the Key brand, presenting her perfect work to everyone. When Qiao Mu stepped onto the runway as a designer, the sense of aplishment she felt waspletely different from when she was in apetition. At this moment, she was standing on the runway as a fashion designer, not a contestant. Especially when Li Yan was looking at her intently below the stage, she could not help but feel her heart skip a beat. Li Yan stared at the little woman on the stage. She seemed to be surrounded by a halo, shining brightly and lighting up the entire audience.
This little woman was no longer that young girl. Unknowingly, she had transformed.. Chapter 645: Qjao Mu Framed Me! Chapter 645: Qjao Mu Framed Me!
Trantor: 549690339 Finally, the fashion show ended and Li Yan stood up to leave. It was time to deal with those reckless people. Backstage, the staff officially ended their work.
Qiao Mus work was very effective, and it did not pale inparison to the works of many famous designers. Moreover, she was praised by the professionals who came to the venue, so Qiao Mu was extremely happy at this moment. When Key returned to the lounge, someone came forward to congratte him on his sessfulpletion. Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd. Mr. Key, the fashion show is over. Shouldnt you give Mr. Chen some justice? At this moment, Chen Ou limped over and sat down on a chair. I want to see how Key is going to handle this matter. Will he clear my name or continue to protect Qiao Mu! Key looked indifferent. Amy said unhappily, Chen Ou, what do you mean? Key said that he would take care of this, so he will. Key wont side with anyone! Amy, whats the point of speaking up for Key? Youre so considerate of Key, but does he take you seriously? You probably dont know that theres anotheryer of rtionship between Key and Qiao Mu, right? Chen Ou sneered. For a moment, Amys expression was very ugly. Qiao Mu frowned. Teacher Chen, are you best at distorting facts and ndering others? Youre still denying it, Qiao Mu. I saw you and Keyst night
As Chen Ou was speaking, the liquid crystal screen hanging in the lounge suddenly opened up, and a shocking scene appeared. The people from Zhou made a ruckus. Chen Ou looked over and widened his eyes in disbelief. He suddenly jumped up from his chair. The pain in the part of his body that was injured became even more intense. On the screen, Chen Ou pulled a woman into the room and held her in his arms with a lecherous expression. Then, Chen Ou wanted to kiss the woman, but the woman avoided him and pulled Chen Ou to the bed, pressing him down. Chen Ou looked at the woman with an evil smile. Beauty, you took the initiative toe to me. Do you like me that much? Then, the woman knelt on Chen Ou ts body. Teacher Chen, dont you like me? When I was eating, I heard someone say that a little girl was seducing you, but you didnt take the bait. I wanted to verify if my idol was really as upright as the rumors said. Chen Ou burst intoughter and hugged the woman. Hisrge hand caressed the womans waist. With a fan who admires me like you, Im instantly uninterested in other people. Beauty, Ill let you know how powerful your idol Teacher Chen, but I heard that you seem to like men? Was it true? Can you tell me what it feels like to have both men and women? You little vixen, I didnt expect you to be so bad. Then Ill let you experience my rich experience for yourself! Suddenly, the screen went ck. Everyone looked at each other and looked at Chen Ou with disgust. Doesnt he only like men? Why do you treat women too
Oh my god, its so disgusting. Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up. I thought it was already uneptable that he liked men, but he actually liked women as well! Chen Outs face was livid as he pointed at the television screen angrily. Dont believe this! Qiao Mu set this up on purpose! Shes framing me! After Qiao Mu saw the video, she had already guessed that Li Yan must have done it. Li Yans methods were really extreme. Since no one believed that Chen Ou liked women, then he woulde up with such evidence. This way, her words would be more convincing.. Chapter 646: Shameless to a New Level Chapter 646: Shameless to a New Level
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus expression darkened. I framed you? Did I force you to do that? Teacher Chen, I thought you didnt like women? Then what is it? Chen Ou angrily pointed at Qiao Mu and angrily cursed, You sinister woman, this video is fake. Do you think that everyone will believe you just because you made a fake video? Also, Key, why are you so protective of Qiao Mu? Isnt it because the two of you have an affair in private? The two of you worked together to scheme against me!
Qiao Mu had never seen such a shameless person like Chen Ou. Even at this point, the evidence was right in front of her, yet he still tried his best to nder her! Chen Ou, Key said slowly, I wanted to give you a chance before, but now, you dont have a chance. I dont need people like you! You You want to chase me away when you see that Ive found out about you two? Last night, I saw you and Qiao Mu leave the room intimately. What were you two doing in the middle of the night? Chen Ou shouted. Teacher Chen, are you saying that Qiao Mu and Teacher Key really? someone eximed. Chen Ou snorted coldly. Actually, Qiao Mu is the most sinister one. She looks innocent, but shes actually very despicable deep down. Last night, she even asked me to go to her room to look for her at night. I gave her a chance to change again and again, but she clearly knew that I didnt like her, so she still pestered me. In the end, after she met me with a face full of dust, she went to look for Key, and Key fell for her tricks! The crowd burst into an uproar as they looked at Qiao Mu in disdain and discussed in whispers. Qiao Mu coldly looked at Chen Ou, whose face was already contorted, and questioned, Do you have any evidence? Do you still need evidence? Im telling the truth! You dont have evidence, but I do! Ill let you hear the truth from your own mouth! Qiao Mu took out her phone and turned on the recording. Chen Outs voice sounded from the phone.
Qiao Mu, I threw out such a huge temptation for you, but you refused to agree to my conditions. Did you hook up with Key long ago? Those stupid pigs are sure that I only like men. They definitely dont know that I like both men and women Ill give you onest chance. If youe to my room obediently tonight, I can deal with this matter. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you. If you still dont know your ce, then you wont be able to make it to the finals! Chen Ou shook his head desperately. No, this is fake. Even a video can be faked, let alone a recording! Qiao Mu smiled. Teacher Chen, why? You dont even remember what you said? You Chen Ou suddenly lost all his energy and sat on the chair weakly. He covered his face with his hands and said, Qiao Mu, I didnt promise to give you any benefits. How could you be so ruthless?! Qiao Mu frowned. Clearly, Chen Ou still refused to admit it! Qiao Mu looked at the mans acting skills. If it was someone who did not know about his pathetic state, they would really believe that he was an innocent victim! This kind of man was really disgusting! Then, he heard Chen Ou condemn himself, I really dont like women, but Qiao MuShe used this to threaten me and wanted me to reveal the theme of the finals to her. I didnt agree, so she tried to find trouble for me. Ive already made a mistake once and I cant continue to help her do bad things, but she just wont stop! This person was truly shameless to a new height!
[Li Yan is about to appear..] Chapter 647: President Li, You Can ‘t Let This Woman Off! Chapter 647: President Li, You Can t Let This Woman Off!
Trantor: 549690339 Teacher Chen, stop spouting nonsense! Qiao Mu has a boyfriend. She wouldnt do that! Leo chided. I also want to know why she still wants to be with me when she has a boyfriend Chen Ou looked hurt.
These words were obviously hinting to everyone that Qiao Mu had a boyfriend and still wanted to look for him because she had her eyes on the theme of the finals. Hence, it was not impossible for her to do so many things by hook or by crook just for this goal! After all, Qiao Mus excellence was uneptable in front of a group of jealous women. They would rather believe that Qiao Mus results were obtained through underhanded means than admit Qiao Mus own abilities. Do you know that Qiao Mus boyfriend is Leo said angrily. Teacher Leo, youre protecting Qiao Mu like this. Dont tell me youre her boyfriend? Someone mocked. I see that all the men here have an ambiguous rtionship with Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu is really amazing! Relying on a man to get to where she is, and still so arrogant. Ive really never seen such a shameless person! Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes emitted a frightful coldness. Are you done talking? The women who were still discussing were suddenly stunned by her terrifying gaze.
She was usually a gentle and gentle person, but when she changed her face, she actually had such a deterrent force. Qiao Mu and Li Yan had been together for so long. Even if she could not transform into a tiger, she was still affected by the Mountain King. The coldness emanating from her was actually somewhat simr to Li Yans. She pointed at Chen Ou and said coldly, You said that I relied on him to get to the top? This is hrious. My work has been included in the new autumn collection. You guys say that Teacher Key is giving me special treatment, but can you honestly say that my work is not good enough? You believe this mans words, but you dont take it seriously when I put the evidence in front of you. Am I the one whos insidious, or are you all thinking dirty? You only know how to attack people with your mouths. What qualifications do you have to criticize me? Do you have anything to do with me? Dont say that I havent done such a disgusting thing. Even if I did, why would I need you to meddle in my business? Qiao Mus words silenced everyone. Chen Ou was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Seeing that these people had been swayed, he was about to say something when he heard amotion at the door. Then, a tall figure appeared in everyones sight. I seem to bete? Li Yan slowly walked into the crowd and nced at Qiao Mu indifferently. When he saw the coldness in her eyes, he narrowed his eyes. His little woman was being bullied!
Even he couldnt bear to let her suffer the slightest grievance, yet someone else dared to touch his soft spot! He scanned the crowd and finally looked at Kyle. I heard that Key has always been fair and rigorous in his work. I didnt expect him to have such a group of vicious gossipers under him. Arent they afraid of dragging thepany down? The moment Li Yan opened his mouth, the gossiping women became embarrassed and their expressions turned ugly. Key smiled faintly. Im sorry, President Li. Seeing Keys respectful attitude towards Li Yan, Chen Ou immediately found someone he could rely on. He took the opportunity to speak, President Li, were dealing with a scandal in thepany. Someone used underhanded means to exchange for the theme of the finals. Youre the sponsor of the finals, so you cant let this woman off! Didnt Qiao Mu have an affair with Key? Since Key was covering up for Qiao Mu, someone would definitely step forward to disqualify this woman from thepetition! Chapter 648: A Shocking Truth Chapter 648: A Shocking Truth
Trantor: 549690339 After Chen Ou finished speaking, the others were waiting for a good show. This was going to be exciting! Qiao Mu did not say anything else. She saw Li Yans dark eyes sh with a malicious coldness, and his gaze swept toward Chen Ou like a sword.
The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up as a smile appeared on his face. He asked, 0h? Who is so bold? Its her! Chen Ou pointed fiercely at Qiao Mu, secretly rejoicing in his heart. He thought that even the heavens were helping him and sending him a helper. Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu. What happened to her? In order to cheat in the finals, she wanted to get close to the theme of my finals. In the end, she didnt seed. Instead, she framed me. President Li, you must not let her enter the finals! After Chen Ou finished speaking, Leo, who was standing at the side, observed Li Yans expression. He thought that Chen Ou was going to be in trouble this time. No one could save him from badmouthing his girlfriend in front of Li Yan! Simrly, Key, who was in the know, naturally predicted Chen Ous fate. He could not help but plead, President Li, please dont hold it against him on ount that hes my employee. Leave it to me. Key was pleading on behalf of Chen Ou, but in Chen Outs ears, it sounded like he was pleading on behalf of Qiao Mu. Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, Chen Ou shouted as if he had something on him,Dont argue with her? Key, youre too protective of Qiao Mu. Youre still siding with her at a time like this. Who would believe that you two arent rted? This b * tch is really annoying As he said this, Chen Ou suddenly let out a scream. As Li Yan lifted his leg, his entire body flew out and was kicked to the ground.
This sudden action stunned everyone. Chen Ou sat on the ground in shock and looked at Li Yan in disbelief. Li Yans eyes darkened and he looked bone-chilling. You said she approached you? Yes Thats right! Chen Ou swallowed his saliva and braced himself. Li Yan walked in front of Chen Ou and raised his foot to identally step on the back of Chen Outs hand. He ignored his face that was already twisted in pain and said in a dark voice, My fiance would get close to you. Is that convincing? Fiance? Qiao Mu looked at the man. She did not expect him to use such a form of address to introduce her. Not his girlfriend, but his fiance! Li Yans words stunned everyone. All of them opened their mouths wide, unable to ept this fact. Chen Ous face turned ashen. How could Qiao Mu be Li Yans fiance? Impossible! He must be hearing things! However, when he met Li Yans cold and malicious eyes, Chen Ou only had one thought in his mind. He was finished!
If the video and audio recording were not enough to convict Chen Ou, then the rtionship between Li Yan and Qiao Mu was enough to overturn everything Chen Ou had said. Looking at Li Yan and Chen Ou, they were simply a respectable emperor and a worthless piece of trash. Even if Chen Ou had some achievements in the fashion design industry, he was worthlesspared to Li Yan, the emperor of the business world! Even Key was a notch shorter than Li Yan, let alone Chen Ou! Since Qiao Mu had Li Yan as her backer, why would she waste her time on Chen Ou? Therefore, all of this was Chen Outs own doing! Qiao Mu was innocent from the start, yet the audience was actually helping Chen Ou attack Qiao Mu. Those who had verbally attacked Qiao Mu could not help but take a step back, worried that Li Yan would vent his anger on them. [The update will bepleted around 12 0clock. Ill make up for yesterdays update..] Chapter 649: Let Him Forget About Becoming a Designer Chapter 649: Let Him Forget About Bing a Designer
Trantor: 549690339 Young Master Li, someone took the opportunity to ingratiate himself. We never believed it in the first ce. He was the one who swore that Qiao Mu was the one who Thats right. Chen Ou is so disgusting. He made Designer Qiao suffer!
Qiao Mu looked over and sneered. You were all speaking up for Chen Ou before, so why are you changing your mind so suddenly? The person on the other end felt awkward. Designer Qiao, dont be angry. We were all deceived by Chen Ou! Yeah, who asked us to think that he likes men! Qiao Mu stepped forward to hold Li Yans hand and whispered, Now that things are clear, lets go. The moment Li Yans gazended on Qiao Mus face, it turned gentle. Are we just going to let it go like this? Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Teacher Key will deal with him. Li Yan nced at Key, who nodded at him to show his promise. Chen Outs angry voice sounded behind him, 1 know, it must be you. You arranged for that woman in the video! Li Yan raised his eyebrows coldly and did not deny it. Chen Ous expression gradually distorted. You You found a woman to harm me. Im going to sue you! Qiao Mu, you sinister woman, youve caused me to be in such a miserable state. Dont go! Chen Ou shouted as he pounced at Qiao Mu, but before he could get close, he was sent flying by Li Yans kick.
Chen Outs body fell back unsteadily, and his lower body identally hit the protruding part of the clothes rack. Then, he screamed like a pig being ughtered. He covered his crotch and curled up on the ground. Some people at the side took a deep breath and gloated. They thought that he liked men and dared to ruin women. He deserved this oue! Qiao Mu followed Li Yan out of the lounge and asked curiously, What happened after the video? Why does Chen Ou look so angry? Its nothing. I just cut a certain part of his body. Qiao Mu was shocked. He became a eunuch? Your man is not that ruthless, but since he dared to touch my woman, I naturally cant let him off easily! Li Yan said it very subtly. In fact, when a man was at his most excited, even if it was just a scratch, it was enough to cause fatal damage. Qiao Mu raised her head and looked at Li Yan. Uncle, if it werent for you, todays matter would have been very troublesome. Hmph, do you think that your man isnt only good at certain things now? Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu did not move with the staff anymore and stayed with Li Yan. The flight back to the capital at night, and in the afternoon, Li Yan apanied Qiao Mu to stroll around A City before returning home. After getting off the ne, Lei Yi came to pick her up. On the way back, Qiao Mu was so tired that she fell asleep on Li Yansp. Li Yan patted her head and looked at Lei Yi who was driving. Hows the matter going?
Chen Ou went to the hospital for a checkup. Hespletely crippled. Li Yans lips curled up coldly. Since he likes men, then let him only be with men for the rest of his life! Also, if he ever touched Qiao Mu with a finger, chop it off and let him forget about being a designer for the rest of his life! Yes. Lei Yi replied, then paused for a moment before continuing, Young Master, Shu Xinyu hasnt been very well-behaved. She has been in contact with Chen Ou, so I think that this matter might have something to do with Shu Xinyu. Li Yan narrowed his eyes coldly. It seems like there are too many people who dont know whats good for them! Suddenly, the little woman in his arms snorted and mumbled in a daze, Uncle, what are you talking about? In an instant, Li Yans eyes turned gentle as he said softly, Its nothing. Go to sleep. Ill wake you up when we get home.. Chapter 650: I’ll See You While 1 1 m At It Chapter 650: Ill See You While 1 1 m At It
Trantor: 549690339 Just as Qiao Mu was about to continue sleeping soundly, her phone rang. Li Yan frowned and took out his phone from her pocket. Just as he was about to hang up, the little woman in his arms had already left his embrace.
Qiao Mu sat up and asked, Who called? Chi Xia. Li Yan returned the phone to her. Qiao Muzily picked up the phone and called out, Xiaxia. Chi Xias voice was heard. Mu Mu, do you want to go to the high school reunion tomorrow? Qiao Mu happened to be free tomorrow. She had a few ssmates she was close to in high school, but she hadnt seen them for a long time, so it wasnt a bad idea to get together. Xiaxia, are you going? she asked after some thought. Is Gu Cheng here too? There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, he replied, I asked. He didnt participate. Lets go together. Alright. Qiao Mu hung up the phone and looked at the man beside her. Uncle, Im having a ss reunion tomorrow. Hmm? Do you need to bring your family? Qiao Mu smiled mischievously. Do I have to bring my parents along for a ss reunion? People willugh at me! The parent she was referring to was him. Li Yans face darkened. Do you want a beating?
Qiao Mu chuckled and coquettishly burrowed into his embrace. I was just joking! The two of them were fooling around behind the car. Lei Yi, who was driving in front, consciously treated himself as an invisible person. If these two people wanted to be affectionate, could they be affectionate behind closed doors at home? The car stopped in the vis courtyard. Lei Yi could not help but say, Young Master, were here. This abrupt sound made Qiao Mu suddenly recall that they were not the only ones in the car! She blushed and quickly jumped off the car and ran away. Chi Xia hung up the phone and was about to go to bed when her phone rang. It was Su Chen. She hesitated for a moment before answering the call. Hello, whats the matter? Su Chens tone wasnt very pleasant. Chi Xia, your boyfriend called you, and you only replied coldly with whats the matter Chi Xia was speechless.
What else could she say? Did he want her to say sweet nothings to him? She really couldnt bring herself to say it. Its already sote. Arent you asleep yet? she asked in a low voice. Can I call you when Im asleep Did he call on purpose to cause trouble? Chi Xia stopped talking, and the other end of the phone was also silent. She could vaguely hear the sounds of killing over the phone. Chi Xia asked, Are you outside? Yes. What are you doing? Drive. Ready to go home? No. Then where are we going? Chi Xia really felt thatmunicating with this man was too tiring. Would she dare to reply to her? He jumped out with two words. It was really enough!
If he was sozy to talk, why did he call her? However, as Chi Xia wished, the man finally finished his sentence, On the way to your school. On the way to your school? Chi Xia widened her eyes in shock. Are you kidding me? What are you doing in my school? Su Chens tone was indifferent. I just finished a social gathering and was going to go home. I was going to take a turn, but I went straight instead. I was toozy to turn around. If I kept walking, I would go to your school, so I wanted to see you. Chi Xia was speechless. What kind of reason was this? She really didnt need him to be so casual! It waste at night. Chi Xia looked at the time and advised, Hurry up and go home to sleep. Our dormitory is about to close. You wont be able to see me. When is it? Chapter 651: Remember, You I re My Woman (1) Chapter 651: Remember, You I re My Woman (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia looked at the time and realized that it would be another forty minutes before the door closed. She said directly, Ten minutester. Actually, he wanted him to go back, but
Yes, just in time. Ten minutes is enough for you toe downstairs. Huh? Im already here. Chi Xia was speechless. But I still need five minutes to get dressed. I really cant make it downstairs in time. Then Ill just rush down with the bedsheets on. If I dont see you for ten minutes, I dont mind breaking in and pulling you out. What else could Chi Xia say? She could only get out of bed as fast as she could and rush out of the dormitory. Fortunately, she was the only one in the dormitory. Baby Guan had long been like Qiao Mu, not returning home every night. When Chi Xia arrived at the entrance, she saw a ck car with shing lights. She got into the car and saw the man leaning against the drivers seat with his eyes closed. Su Chen opened his eyes and nced at Chi Xia before starting the car.
Chi Xia was stunned. Where? Our dormitory will be closed soon! Im hungry. Come with me for supper. As soon as Su Chen opened his mouth, Chi Xia smelled a faint scent of alcohol. She widened her eyes and asked, Did you drink? Su Chen nced at her. Dont worry, Im sober. Chi Xia frowned. Stop the car. Whats wrong? Afraid of death? Su Chen, I told you to stop the car! Chi Xia raised her voice and grabbed his wrist that was holding the steering wheel. If you dont stop the car, Ill turn off the engine! Su Chen lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on her hand that was holding his. He stopped the car by the roadside. Before he could say anything, the woman beside him got out of the car and left. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Was this woman that afraid of death? If he could drive here safely, what could he do to her? What a heartless woman! Su Chen took a deep breath, feeling frustrated.
He had been busy for a few days, and only today was the day he finished his work before twelve oclock. He didnt want to go back to his empty house, so he came straight over to see this woman he hadnt seen for a few days. However, when she heard that he was drunk and driving, she turned around and left! This woman did not have the slightest bit of self-awareness as his woman. Which girlfriend was like her! Su Chen took a deep breath. Just as he was about to start the car and chase after that d * mn woman, the drivers door suddenly opened from the outside. Then, Chi Xias face appeared in front of him. His eyes narrowed and his tone darkened. What are you doing? Chi Xia tugged at him gently. Get out of the car, Ill drive. After Chi Xia finished speaking, Su Chen sat still and stared at her with a deep gaze. Chi Xia urged, You cant drive after drinking. Thatsmon sense. Its not just a matter of safety. If the traffic police find out, youll be done for! At Chi Xias insistence, Su Chen got out of the car and listened to her ramble on. This was the first time someone had spoken to her with a tone of duty. However, not only was he not angry, he even found this woman very funny.
If the traffic police found out, he would be finished? In this womans world, did she not know the phrase theres always a heaven beyondw ? Su Chen sat in the front passenger seat. Seeing the woman starting the engine in a hurry, he raised his eyebrows. Are you sure you know how to drive? Looking at her, she didnt know how to drive at all. If she were to drive, it would be even more dangerous. Chi Xia red at him. Ive registered my marriage before! Although he didnt have much confidence in his words. Ever since she registered her marriage, this was one of the few times she had driven. It had been a long time since he had practiced, so it was normal that he could not find the feeling for a while.. Chapter 652: Remember, You I re My Woman (2) Chapter 652: Remember, You I re My Woman (2)
Trantor: 549690339 After Chi Xia got used to it, she started her journey. Su Chen looked at the woman who was driving. Her messy hair fell on her face and blocked her side profile.
The woman suddenly turned her head and met his gaze. What are you looking at? Help me keep an eye on the front and back, and remind me of the cars. Chi Xia, are you sure you got your license legally? Chi Xia blushed at his words and the man mocked her again, 1f you drive like this, the traffic police will definitely stop you. Driving without a license is a crime of carelessness. Thats still better than you driving drunk! Chi Xia retorted angrily. See, you admit it. Youre without a license. Chi Xia was speechless. Looking at the messy hair on her side profile, Su Chen raised his hand and tucked it behind her ear. This action caused Chi Xia to freeze. She mmed on the brakes and looked at him in panic. Why are you touching me? Her reaction made Su Chens face darken. He said coldly, lm just worried that your hair is blocking your line of sight. If you dont notice the car next to you, wont I die with you? Bah! Bah! Dont curse me, Im driving, its bad luck! Su Chen snorted and leaned back in his seat to rest. Since youve taken this job, you can focus on driving. Im going to sleep for a while.
Chi Xia felt ufortable when she saw the man closing his eyes to rest. She had taken the initiative to be his chauffeur for the sake of his safety, but he was the one who did it! What kind of attitude was this?! Chi Xia held the steering wheel and looked at the road ahead. There were not many cars. She had no problem on roads with fewer cars, but after crossing the main road, she would turn into a road with more cars. She was not confident in driving alone at night. Su Chen closed his eyes and waited for the car to continue driving. He opened his eyes in confusion and saw the woman beside him holding the steering wheel with a worried expression. What are you doing? Su Chen, why dont we call a designated driver? Su Chen was speechless. This woman had just pulled him out of the drivers seat confidently, and now she was telling him this! Su Chen rubbed his forehead. You drive. Ill direct you. After hearing Su Chens words, Chi Xia finally felt more confident and continued driving. Then, Su Chens chattering could be heard in the car. Theres no one on the road, and youre walking at 20 miles an hour. Are you enjoying the two of us together? Chi Xia endured it. Alright! Speed up!
Youre driving so fast. Cant you see a car turning in? Do you want us to spend the night together in the hospital? Chi Xia could endure it, alright! Slow down! Chi Xia, which driving school did you get your license from? Im going toin about that driving school tomorrow. Chi Xia was furious, but she could not refute him. She sped up abruptly, and Su Chen lunged forward without any warning. Before he could sit properly, the car suddenly slowed down again. The back-and-forth was giving him a headache. He red at her angrily, only to see Chi Xia smiling apologetically. Im sorry. I met an illegal driving school and they gave me a license so casually. You cant me me for being bad at driving. Su Chens lips curled up coldly. Its alright. Ive be your personal trainer for free. To thank me, you can treat me to supper. Chi Xia was speechless. She came out in a hurry and didnt even bring her bag.. How could she have the money to treat him to a meal? Chapter 653: Remember, You I re My Woman (3) Chapter 653: Remember, You I re My Woman (3)
Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia thought about it and retorted, You should thank me for being your free driver. After all, youre the one whos treating us to supper! Su Chen could not help but chuckle when he saw Chi Xias useless look. Youre such a stingy woman. Are you that reluctant to treat your boyfriend to a meal?
Chi Xia was speechless. Who gave him the courage to call her your boyfriend and my girlfriend ? However, this man was actually quite good-looking when he smiled. Chi Xia was stunned when she saw the smile on his face. She had forgotten that she loved cars. Suddenly, Su Chens expression changed and he shouted, Stop the car! Chi Xias attention was focused on the car in front of her. A car was making a turn and was about to crash into her. She was stunned and her mind went nk. She didnt know how to stop the car. Fortunately, Su Chen was quick to react. He quickly pulled out the car keys and turned off the engine. The car stopped abruptly, and they managed to avoid the disaster. Chi Xia was already scared out of her wits. Her body stiffened as she held onto the steering wheel. Her face was pale as she looked ahead and panted heavily. At this moment, he felt his hands trembling. That kind of danger was clearly imprinted in his mind and could not be forgotten. Su Chen frowned and pulled Chi Xia into his arms. He pressed her face against his chest and patted her back. Nothing happened. Dont be afraid. The woman in his arms was trembling, revealing her current emotions. Chi Xia, youre not that timid, are you? If you dont know how to drive, why are you showing off? Forget it. Im not a good personal trainer. I still have to talk to you while youre driving. You dont have to treat me to dinner.
Alright, Im sitting in the passenger seat. Why are you so scared? Chi Xia waspletely stunned. Before she could react, Su Chens voice rang in her ears and slowly dispelled her fear. She thought that this man would scold her since she almost caused him to get into a car ident. However, she did not expect that he wouldfort her. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart that slowly melted. She pushed him gently, wanting to break free from his embrace, but he stopped her. Dont move. If youre afraid, close your eyes and rx for a while. She pushed him again, but the man was unhappy.Why are you Um, the seatbelt is choking me. Chi Xia interrupted him softly. It was not that she did not appreciate his kindness, but she was going to be strangled to death if she continued to maintain this position. Su Chen was speechless. This woman really didnt understand romance! Su Chen looked out the window and asked, Can it still be driven? Move the car to the side of the road. Lets eat first. Chi Xia did as she was told and got out of the car with her legs weak. She heaved a sigh of relief. Su Chen walked over and held her hand, leading her to a restaurant by the roadside.
On the roadside was a small 24-hour Korea restaurant. The two of them entered the dining room and ordered a few dishes. Chi Xia did not pick up her chopsticks for a long time. She lowered her head for a while and said softly, lm sorry for what happened just now. Su Chen looked at her. Why are you apologizing? Well, you almost got into a car ident. Su Chen rested his chin on one hand and nced at the woman opposite him. His tone carried a hint of teasing, Chi Xia, why did I just realize that youre actually quite obedient? Chi Xia raised her head and red at him. She was apologizing to him, what did he mean by that? [Ill finish the rest in the middle of the night. The students should read the article tomorrow morning. Dont stay upte. I just want to say that those novels that maintain 6 chapters a day, even if the readers urge them to update, they donte out to find trouble. I maintain 10 chapters a day, and asionally, I will make up for it after one or two chapters, but I am despised. I know that your attitude is very bad because you really like Suyings article, but for somements, in order not to affect the mood of writing, I will directly ignore them.. Alright, at the end of 38, I wish everyone a happy Goddess Day and continue writing Chapter 654: Remember, You Are My Woman (4) Chapter 654: Remember, You Are My Woman (4)
Trantor: 549690339 Su Chen leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Actually, Im not interested in very obedient women. However, since youre quite fickle, I wont force myself to return the goods.
Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia gritted her teeth and shouted in her heart, Retreat now! Since the other party did not appreciate her apology, Chi Xia did not feel guilty anymore. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Su Chens lips curled up. He thought for a moment and said, But I ept your apology. To show your sincerity, from now on, you have to cook for me to make up for your mistake. You dont have to do it too many times, just 30 to 50 times will do. Puff Chi Xia almost spat out the rice in her mouth. Mr. Su, let me tell you clearly, Im your girlfriend, not your maid! Su Chen raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he heard her call herself his girlfriend. Since shes your girlfriend, you should take care of your boyfriend unconditionally. .! No matter what, it was her logic! After the meal, Chi Xia suggested again, Shall we call a designated driver? Su Chen nced at her helplessly. Im no longer drunk. Lets go. I can bring you home safely.
Chi Xia was no longer conflicted. At this moment, he was as sober as a shrew. There was no sign of him being drunk Chi Xia sat in the front passenger seat and did not notice that Su Chen was not talking about sending her back to the dormitory but bringing her home. Therefore, when Chi Xia woke up in the car, she was already downstairs at Su Chens ce. She looked at him. Why didnt you bring me to your house? Your dormitory door isnt closed? Its not like we havent lived together before. Get out of the car. Chi Xia was furious. What kind of twisted logic was this! Chi Xia always felt that it was dangerous to live under the same roof as a man, especially when they had made a mistake once and it was in a rtionship. After entering the house, Chi Xia washed up and went to sleep. Perhaps it was because she had slept in the car, but she couldnt fall asleep at this moment. Her mind was in a mess. Su Chen was right next door, and her mind was filled with this man! Every time she interacted with Su Chen, she had a very subtle feeling. She always felt that something was changing, but she just couldnt catch it.
The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. He tossed and turned for a while before finally picking up his phone to take a look. Forty minutes had passed! Helplessly, she could only y with her phone and browse WeChat and Weibo. After another half an hour, she climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom. There was no bathroom in the room she lived in, so she could only go out to the living room. When she came out of the bathroom and passed by the study, she realized that the lights were on and there were some faint voices. It was already midnight, and Su Chen was still awake? She quietly pushed open the door of the study and saw the man leaningzily against the chair. His voice was faint. That batch of goods has to arrive on time tomorrow. Wipe your butt clean before youe back. Dont cause any trouble and have to make another trip Hearing the door open, Su Chen raised his head. When he saw Chi Xia, he raised his eyebrows. What are you doing sneaking around? Nothing. Im just going to the washroom. I wont disturb you since youre busy. Wait a minute. Su Chen said, ignoring Ling Xis yelling. He hung up the video call and turned off theputer. Chi Xia looked at Su Chen in confusion. Is there anything else? Youre the one whos busy. Why are you looking for me sote at night? Are you inviting me to sleep with you? Su Chens words made Chi Xia blush. [Next, well be using a few mens and womens names. Normal ones will do.
Those who havent slept yet, just throw a few to Suying..] Chapter 655: Remember, You’re My Woman (5) Chapter 655: Remember, Youre My Woman (5)
Trantor: 549690339 Chi Xia red at him with a red face. When she saw the man approaching, she immediately felt danger approaching. She immediately turned around and prepared to return to her room. However, she had just taken two steps when she was stopped by the man. Why are you so flustered? Did I hit the nail on the head?
What nonsense are you spouting! Im sleepy. Im going to sleep! She struggled hard, but he pressed her against the wall and gave her a solid kabedon. Suddenly, the mans body came closer. His hot breath approached with danger. Su Chen looked down at the flustered woman and pinched her chin. Ive said it before. I wont reject anyone who offers themselves to me. Chi Xia widened her eyes. Before she could say anything, she saw the mans face approaching her. Her lips were kissed! Although it was not the first time they kissed, this time was more dangerous than any of the previous times. Chi Xia was flustered and at a loss. His heart ached, and his heart thumped faster. His passionate kiss continued to devour her. For a moment, Chi Xia was in a daze. Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation at her waist. The mansrge hand reached into her clothes, causing Chi Xias body to freeze. Her blushing face gradually turned pale, and her eyes suddenly widened. She felt what he was going to do next, and her nerves instantly tensed up. Thest time she had sex with him was a mistake and she had med herself for a long time. She could not make the same mistake twice. Even if she was dating him in name, she did not want to mess around with him like this. Su Chen felt the body in his arms gradually stiffen. Her entire body was filled with resistance to him, refusing to ept what he was about to do next.
All the enthusiasm was extinguished at this moment. He stopped and looked coldly at the woman who was on guard against him. His eyes gradually turned cold. Chi Xia, weve been together for so long. You cant ept me? Chi Xia panted heavily. She lowered her head and did not speak. Her mind went nk because of the panic. He knew that the reason they were together was ridiculous, but he kept it up. She had no idea what this man was thinking. He could have ignored her, but he would asionally show his kindness to her. The few times of contact made her more and more flustered. It was as if there was a change that was silently changing without her control. Seeing that she was silent, he held her chin and made her look at him. Chi Xia, remember, youre my woman. If I want you, you cant resist at all. Chi Xias face turned even paler. Su Chen pursed his lips coldly and continued, Dont worry, I wont force you. Ill make you my woman willingly. Why? Chi Xia asked. Why did he do this to her? To make someone who didnt love him fall in love with him because of his desire to conquer him?
Su Chens handsome face twitched. Because of you, Im going to take it! He wanted her. She did not know whether he wanted her or her heart. He didnt know when he started to have such thoughts. Perhaps it was because he saw her crying so miserably for a man on the roadside, or perhaps it was because she seduced him passionately that night, or perhaps it was because she went into the kitchen and busied herself with all sorts of things for him In short, he wanted this woman! Even if she had to be sad and in pain, she could only do it for him.. He would definitely make the person in her heart disappearpletely! Chapter 656: Su Chen, Remember, You Are My Woman (6) Chapter 656: Su Chen, Remember, You Are My Woman (6)
Trantor: 549690339 Su Chen said and turned to leave, leaving Chi Xia alone. The mans words made Chi Xia panic.
His tone was so firm that she did not dare to face him. It was as if she was his exclusive product and would be his sooner orter. However, the more he acted like this, the more uncertain she felt. The reason why they were together was so ridiculous. Chi Xia returned to her room in a sorry state and copsed on the bed weakly.l He looked up at the ceiling nkly. That night, Chi Xia did not sleep well. When she woke up, she saw two big dark circles under her eyes. They were having a ss reunion today. Was it really good to treat her like this? Afterst nights incident, she didnt know how to face Su Chen. She paced around the room for a long time before someone knocked on the door. She suddenly became nervous and pretended to have been woken up. She asked in a daze,What? Get up and make me breakfast. Su Chens voice sounded from outside the door. Chi Xia was speechless. This man had kissed her forcefullyst night, and he was so bold as to ask her to make breakfast early in the morning!
Chi Xia opened the door and mumbled unwillingly, Arent you going to eat breakfast when Im not around? How can the treatment of having a girlfriend be the same as not having a girlfriend? With a girlfriend who can only be looked at but not eaten, I naturally have to make it up to her in other ways. F * ck! Could he not say it so tantly? These words actually made her unable to find any words to refute! Chi Xia could only resign herself to her fate and enter the kitchen. She opened the fridge and saw that the vegetables she had ced in it previously had already rotted. This man really did not clean them up! The only thing that could be eaten was eggs. Together with the leftover noodles fromst time and beef in the freezer, he made a simple bowl of noodles. Su Chen nced at the noodles on the table and said unhappily, Is this all you know how to make? He had finally cooked a meal, but he was actually despised! Thats because you dont have anything at home! Chi Xia replied with a bad attitude. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. You dont know how to buy it if you dont have it? Chi Xia, do you need me to remind you ten times a day about your identity?
Chi Xias blood pressure was about to rise the entire morning. This man was taking revenge on her for rejecting himst night! Even though Su Chen was disgusted by her, Chi Xia still ate the noodles without leaving a single drop. Its the weekend today. What are you doing? he asked calmly as he put down his chopsticks. Its a ss reunion tonight. Im going shopping with Mumu during the day. Come back tonight and make dinner for me. Su Chen suddenly said after a while. Itll be veryte by the time my gathering ends! Chi Xia replied hurriedly. Then lets make supper. Chi Xia was speechless. In the morning, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia went shopping. Actually, Qiao Mu wanted to bring Chi Xia to the mall to take a look at the new clothes that she had designed. The two of them walked around the mall for a while before Qiao Mu suddenly thought of something. She patted her head hard and asked Chi Xia, Xiaxia, I forgot to return the money I borrowed from you. Why didnt you mention it to At the mention of money, Chi Xia was stunned for a moment. I forgot about that!
Qiao Mu frowned. So, you didnt return the money to Gu Cheng? As expected, Qiao Mu immediately med herself when she saw Chi Xia nod. Im sorry, Xiaxia. Ive troubled you with this. Ill transfer the money to you tomorrow. You should return it to him as soon as possible so that you can settle the score with him. Chi Xia nodded and was about to say something when she saw a familiar figure on the other side of the mall. Qiao Mu looked over.. Isnt that Su Chen? Chapter 657: It’s Just a Misunderstanding Between Me and Chapter 657: Its Just a Misunderstanding Between Me and
Him Trantor: 549690339 The person opposite him was indeed Su Chen, but there was a woman beside him.
The tall woman stood beside Su Chen. The two of them were about the same height. The two of them were walking separately, but suddenly, the woman held Su Chens arm. They looked very intimate. Chi Xia stood rooted to the ground, stunned. Qiao Mus face darkened. Xiaxia, lets go over and say hello. Chi Xia grabbed Qiao Mu and shook her head. Forget it, it was a misunderstanding between us. It has nothing to do with me who he likes to be with. Although he said that, why did he feel so ufortable when he said it? She had thought that she was eager for Su Chen to let go of her, but why did she not rx at all when she saw this scene? Qiao Mu frowned. It had nothing to do with her? But did she look like she was fine? Qiao Mu felt a surge of anger in her heart as she red at Su Chen, who was not far away. When she saw the woman beside him, she felt that her face was very familiar. She had seen this woman before! She suddenly realized that this woman was the woman that Li Yan had arranged for Chen Ou. She had seen this woman in the video before! Since Li Yan knew this woman, it was normal for her to know Su Chen. Perhaps they were not in the rtionship that they had seen. Xiaxia, things might not be asplicated as you think. She looked at Chi Xia and said hurriedly, This woman might just be Su Chens friend. Although this was not very convincing, it was indeed possible.
However, Chi Xia, who was in charge of this, did not listen to Qiao Mu at all. Very soon, Chi Xia, who was feeling down, smiled nonchntly. Its alright, Mu Mu. Im really fine. You dont have tofort me! Although Chi Xia tried her best to act nonchnt, Qiao Mu could still see the emotions shing in her eyes. She clearly cared. Chi Xia had alwavs been like this. She broke up with Gu Cheng and was so sad, but she pretended to let it go. In fact, only she knew the pain in her heart. Initially, Qiao Mu thought that Chi Xia and Su Chen were still in the middle of a transition period. After all, it would take some time for her to jump from a failed rtionship to a new one. However, she was still tempted. Qiao Mu sighed. After all, she was a bystander and had no right to speak about other peoples feelings. On the other side, Su Chen pushed away the woman who was leaning on him in disdain and said coldly, Kiimi, Im warning you for thest time. Dont touch me! The long-legged beauty who had been reced by Kiki snorted coquettishly. You bunch of heartless men. Every good thing finally took the initiative to contact her once, and you really let her seduce men. You really dont know how to cherish women!
Speak normally! With an Adams apple, no matter how woman she is, its disgusting! Kiimis expression changed and he said angrily, Can you not mention her sad things? The biggest regret in my life is that I have two protruding ces on my body. One is my Adams apple, and the other is below I dont mind cutting it off for you! KIWI: The next second, Kivi waved her arm roughly. Her previous gentleness and sexiness hadpletely disappeared. Alright, alright. I wont pretend with you anymore. Youre really heartless. Im still relying on this to seduce girls. How can I bear to not have it! Su Chen pointed at the mens clothing store. Go in and change your clothes! If I want to change, Id better go home and change. Are you trying to ruin my image by changing clothes here? Kiimi then dragged Su Chen away. Hurry up and get into the elevator. Im still waiting for Boss Li to treat me to a meal.. Its rare that he owes me a favor! Chapter 658: Beauty “Transvestite” Chapter 658: Beauty Transvestite
Trantor: 549690339 On the top floor of the mall, in a private restaurant. Li Yan and Lu Jingzhi were in a private room when Su Chen and Kiimi walked in.
As soon as he entered, Su Chen said calmly, Big Brother, Ive brought this transvestite here. Kiimi frowned unhappily. Second Master, watch your words. You cant discriminate against people just because they have this kind of hobby, okay? If I didnt transform at will, I wouldnt have been able to help Young Master Li! Su Chen snorted coldly. If you want to be a transvestite, no one will care about you. But dont pull me around! Were both single. What are you afraid of? Su Chens cold gaze swept over. How did you know I was single? Huh? Could it be that Second Young Master Su has a new lover? Lu Jingzhiughed. What do you mean by new lover? Does Second Brother have an old lover? Yes, isnt that me? Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Kiimi looked at Li Yan. Young Master Li, you asked me to do you such a big favor. In order to protect your wife, why didnt shee to thank me personally today?
Li Yan nced at her. You dont have the face to make here here personally. Tsk tsk, it seems that this person in your family has quite a high status! Kiimi sat down casually and shouted, Lets start serving the dishes. Ever since my hands were cut for Young Master Li, I havent been able to eat or sleep well all day. I have to make up for it today! Li Yan scoffed. I dont know how many times youve yed with your hands. Why? I asked you to do such a small thing, and youre still ming me? Is this a small matter? This is the first time Ive ever stabbed a man in the crotch. Its really scary just thinking about it. However, I owe you a favor. How can I be picky about what youve arranged? Su Chen nced at Kiimi. If you dont shut your mouth, you can forget about this meal. OK, OK! Kiwi-san surrendered. Kiimi was a businessman whom Li Yan had gotten to know when he was doing underground business. During a gang incident, Li Yan had let him go, so he owed him a favor. It just so happened that she thought of him, so she called him over. This person didnt have any fetishes. It was just that when doing business, it was very convenient for him to pretend to be a woman. He was originally a handsome person, but when he turned into a woman, he was also beautiful and sexy. Therefore, when others saw him, they almost couldnt tell.
That day, Chi Xia was absent-minded. When she was eating with Qiao Mu, she was very distracted. Qiao Mu took the opportunity to call Li Yan while she was in the washroom. She answered the call and asked straightforwardly, Uncle, whos the beauty you arranged to seduce Chen Ou? Hmm? Why are you suddenly asking this ? I saw her at the mall today. She was together with Su Chen and they were behaving intimately. Chi Xia happened to see them and thought that there was something going on between them. Li Yans voice sounded nonchnt on the other end of the phone. Ill tell you when we get home. Alright then. Have fun tonight. Ill pick you up tonight. Yes, alright. In the evening, the ss reunion was held at the magnificent hotel, Abundance of Gold and Jade. It was said that someone was treating her tonight. Chi Xia did not ask who it was, but her ssmate told her.
When Qiao Mu and Chi Xia arrived at the private room, there were eight or nine people inside. When the woman standing in the middle of the crowd saw them, she smiled and called out, Qiao Mu, Chi Xia, youre finally here.. Its so hard to meet you! Chapter 659: Class Reunion, Hidden Contest Chapter 659: ss Reunion, Hidden Contest
Trantor: 549690339 The person who spoke was Xu Xiyan, a ssmate whom they had a good rtionship with in high school. When Qiao Mu and Chi Xia walked into the crowd, Xu Xiyan shouted, Come, lets sit down first. Order whatever you want today, eat whatever you want, and y whatever you want. Its my treat!
Xiyan, youre so nice to have a rich boyfriend, someone said with a smile. Xu Xiyan smiled. Xiaohong, look at what youre saying. My husband is not only rich, but he also treats me well. Dont make it sound like Im only with him for money. Qiao Mu was surprised to hear the other party call her husband, Youre married? Im not old enough to get married yet, but my husband said that well get our marriage certificate once were old enough. Lets not talk about this. Theres nothing else to say. Xu Xiyan said it subtly, but her expression was full of pride. Xu Xiyan shifted the topic back to Qiao Mu. Mumu, do you have a boyfriend? Do you want me to introduce you? When you were in high school, your standards were very high. You didnt like anyone. I remember that a boy I liked confessed to you but was rejected by you. Qiao Mu indeed had many admirers in high school, and one of them was Xu Xiyans crush. Looking at Xu Xiyans smiling face, Qiao Mu could tell that Xu Xiyan had nned this ss reunion to bask in her happiness. He wanted to see his old ssmate, but the atmosphere was not very good. Faced with Xu Xiyans question, Qiao Mu said frankly, Thank you. I already have a boyfriend. There is? What does he do? Maybe it has something to do with my husbands industry and we can work together! Seeing how Xu Xiyan was so enthusiastic about mentioning her husband, Qiao
Mu asked, What does your husband do? Hes in finance and real estate. Hes quite famous in Beijing. Hes Juhao Enterprise. Have you heard of him? Qiao Mu shook her head. I havent heard of it. Xu Xiyans expression froze, and then she smiled. Everyone says that hes only a little famous. Hes only ranked among the top 300 in China. Sun Xiaohong went up to her and said, Xiyan, dont be so humble. The turnover of a top 300pany should be at least 20 million yuan, right? Im not sure either. I wonder what the ranking of Mumus boyfriendspany is? Mumus requirements are so high. It definitely wont be bad. Qiao Muughed dryly. My boyfriend is also in the top 300. It was one of the top 300panies in the world. Qiao Mu only knew that the Li Corporation was huge, but she really didnt know what the ranking was. She had no idea how much her uncle was worth! As soon as Qiao Mu said this, a hint of sarcasm shed across Xu Xiyans face. Mu Mu, whichpany is your boyfriend from? I might have heard of it. Hes a little famous. You wouldnt have heard of him. Qiao Mu responded.
Mu Mu, are you bragging to me? Why do you have to meet old ssmates? Thats right, Mumu. Were just university students. Dont be so vain. Qiao Mu was speechless. Chi Xia moved closer to Qiao Mu and whispered, I really regreting here. What are these things? I havent seen them for a year and theyve all be like this. If they knew who your man is, wouldnt they be so jealous that theyd go blind? Qiao Mu was helpless. Forget it. Since were already here, how can we leave halfway? Suddenly, someone changed the topic to Chi Xia. Xiaxia, why are you here alone? Wheres Gu Cheng? Chi Xia looked at him and said calmly, Ive already broken up with Gu Cheng. Break up? Oh my god, you guys were so good at that time. We all thought that you would get your marriage certificate as soon as you graduated.. Chapter 660: Class Reunion, Hidden Contest (2) Chapter 660: ss Reunion, Hidden Contest (2)
Trantor: 549690339 Xu Xiyan smiled. You guys dont know. Gu Cheng has a fiance. Its said that shes a rich youngdy. Theyre a good match. So, Chi Xia was dumped by Gu Cheng?
I really didnt expect this! Is it very interesting for you to gossip about other peoples affairs? Qiao Mu asked coldly. Were just concerned. How could Gu Cheng dump Chi Xia for his fiance? As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the door.Who said I dumped Xiaxia? Then, Gu Cheng walked into the room. Qiao Mu looked at him and frowned slightly. Didnt Xiaxia say that he wouldnte? Gu Cheng walked straight to Chi Xia and looked at the others. He said calmly, Xiaxia dumped me. Im pursuing her again now. The fiance youre talking about no longer exists. This position will only be reserved for Xiaxia. Oh, Gu Cheng, youre still so infatuated. Im so jealous. Xiaxia, why dont you agree to reconcile with him? Someone jeered. Qiao Mu looked at Gu Cheng. What do you mean? Wheres your fiance? Ive already called off the engagement. Gu Cheng stared at Chi Xia and said slowly, Xiaxia, can you be with me again? Give me another chance. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Finally, he had settled his family matters and asked her to give him a chance.
He believed that his Xiaxia only cared about his fiance. As long as he canceled the engagement, she would definitelye back to him. Facing Gu Chengs affectionate confession, Chi Xias expression was indifferent. Qiao Mu could feel that her gaze towards Gu Cheng was emotionless and extremely cold. This was the first time Qiao Mu had seen Chi Xia treat Gu Cheng so coldly. In the past, Chi Xia would burst into joy whenever Gu Chengs name was mentioned, and that joy could not be concealed. And now, he could be so calm. Qiao Mu knew that Chi Xia had truly given up on Gu Cheng. Chi Xia only nced at Gu Cheng before she retracted her gaze and responded to everyones jeering, You guys think that hes such a good person. Dont miss the chance that hes single now. I have nothing to do with him. If you guys want to make a move on him, you have to seize the opportunity. Gu Chengs expression changed. From the beginning to the end, Chi Xia had only nced at him as if she was facing a stranger. Even her words were directed at someone else. Gu Cheng looked at Chi Xias back with a hurt expression. Suddenly, a voice rang out. Qiao Mu, is that you? Qiao Mu looked over when she heard the voice, and only then did she notice a boy standing at the side. She sized him up and searched for his name in her mind before calling out, Yang Hao? The boy nodded. I didnt expect to see you at the ss reunion today. Yang Hao, Xu Xiyan said with a smile, youve been paying attention to Qiao
Mu ever since you entered. Could it be that Qiao Mu still has feelings for you? Yang Hao was Xu Xiyans crush in high school. When he confessed to Qiao Mu and was rejected, he swore, Qiao Mu, if you dont want to date now, its fine. I can wait for you for five years. After graduation, Ill confess to you again. Yang Hao smiled but did not reply. His gaze was fixed on Qiao Mus face. The girl in front of him was even more beautiful than when she was in high school. Her entire body exuded a different temperament, and she was so charming. Xu Xiyans tone was sour. Yang Hao, give up. Mumu already has a boyfriend. You dont stand a chance. [I slepttest night and felt drowsy today. I still finished updating after 12 oclock..] Chapter 661: Class Reunion, Hidden Contest (3) Chapter 661: ss Reunion, Hidden Contest (3)
Trantor:549690339 Yang Hao was stunned. Qiao Mu has a boyfriend? Qiao Mu nodded, and a hint of disappointment instantly shed across Yang Haos eyes.
Xu Xiyan smiled. Mu Mu, youre not giving Yang Hao any face. After all, he said he would wait for you for five years. You have a boyfriend in the blink of an eye. Qiao Mu smiled as if she was listening to someone elses business. Is that true? I dont remember. This sentence made Yang Hao lose all his energy. Someone patted Yang Haos shoulder and joked, Brother, dont be disappointed. Perhaps Qiao Mu will be single again in five years. You still have a chance. After a round of jokes, everyone arrived and began to eat. The entire meal was centered around Xu Xiyan, and all the topics revolved around her and her husband, who was ranked in the top 300. Qiao Mu finally experienced what it meant to show off modestly, but there were people supporting her. Yang Hao sat opposite Qiao Mu, and no matter how far away he was, he couldnt stop him from acting as her protector. After seeing which dish Qiao Mu picked up, he quickly ced it in front of Qiao Mu and said concernedly, Qiao Mu, eat more. Looks like Young Master Li has met a love rival, Chi Xia said with a smile as she moved closer to Qiao Mu. After saying that, Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at him. You still have the mood to joke around with me? Youd better get rid of the person beside you. I only realized now that Gu Cheng is so difficult to deal with. Chi Xia sighed and saw Gu Cheng cing a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into her bowl. A gentle voice rang in her ear, Xiaxia, this is your favorite. T-talk more and eat something. Chi Xias expression was cold as she ignored Gu Chengs words. She stood up and said to Qiao Mu, Im going to the bathroom.
As Chi Xia walked out, Qiao Mu saw that Gu Cheng had followed her out. She stood up and followed behind Gu Cheng. Just as she walked out of the room, she blocked Gu Chengs path. Gu Cheng, I have something to tell you. Qiao Mu looked at Gu Cheng and advised, If youre really good to Xiaxia, dont pester her. Her attitude is obvious. Gu Cheng frowned, obviously not pleased with her words. Qiao Mu, others might not know, but dont you know? Xiaxia and I are in love! If you really loved her, you wouldnt have let your fiance live. Even if you solve this problem now, its toote. Gu Cheng, you know Xiaxia isnt single now. If you keep pestering her like this, itll only make you look selfish. Gu Cheng clenched his fists tightly. Yes, he knew that Chi Xia was with someone else, but he just couldnt let it go. His Xiaxia only loved him! He truly loved Chi Xia. For her, he had almost fallen out with his family. He had sex with Mirou after he was drunk, but he had rejected his marriage with Mirou without any regard for his feelings. He was so stubborn when he did such an irresponsible thing, yet Chi Xia was so cold to him. Perhaps her attitude was within his expectations, but he had never tried it before. How would he know that she would really reject him mercilessly? Seeing Gu Cheng leaning against the wall in pain, Qiao Mu sighed and returned to her room. In the room, Xu Xiyan was talking about finding an internship for a ssmate. When she saw Qiao Mu, she suddenly changed the topic. Mumu, didnt you say that your boyfriendspany is also one of the top 300panies in the country? How about you let Sun Xiaohong do an internship at your boyfriendspany? My boyfriendspany doesnt hire interns. Qiao Mu rejected him directly, somewhat regretting her words. She really didnt want topare herself with Xu Xiyan, and she was just joking.
Chapter 662: Boyfriend Appears (1) Chapter 662: Boyfriend Appears (1)
Trantor:549690339 Sun Xiaohong pursed her lips. Qiao Mu, were ssmates, so why arent you helping me out with small things? Does the boyfriend you mentioned really exist? Dont tell me youre deliberately mentioning this boyfriend just topare yourself with Xiyan? Mu Mu, although you were more outstanding than Xiyan in all aspects during high school, you were just a littlecking in terms of boyfriends. Dont take it to heart. Someone advised earnestly.
Xu Xiyan took a sip of red wine and said, Mumu, I think you should just let Yang Hao go. After all, Yang Haos family owns apany. Hes a rich second-generation heir. Yang Hao frowned. Qiao Mu, is what they said true? Your boyfriend is fictional? Why are you so vain now? Qiao Mu could not be bothered to waste her breath on this group of people. At this moment, her phone rang. It was Li Yan. She picked up the phone and soon heard the mans voice asking,When do you want to finish? Uncle,e and pick me up. Why? Did you not have fun? Hearing the noise, Qiao Mu spoke softly into the phone, Yes, I want to go home. Qiao Mu hung up the phone and returned to her seat. The women at the table changed the topic. Xu Xiyan pointed at the phone screen and showed it off. Do you think this dress looks good? Its a new autumn product that just came out. Its the style I like. Sun Xiaohong looked over. Let me see. Wow, a sweater that costs more than 6,000 yuan. Is this a scam? Xu Xiyan didnt think much of it. Dont you know fashion? Do you know that Key is a big international brand? The cheapest clothes under his brand are already 6,000 yuan. I heard that this was designed by a new designer. I want to ce an order on the official website and go to the store to pick it up tomorrow.
Qiao Mu paused when she heard Xu Xiyans words. Wasnt she talking about her? Suddenly, Xu Xiyan looked up at Qiao Mu. Mumu, youre also studying fashion design, right? My husband has a fashion design department in hispany. Do you want me to pull strings for you so that you can go for an internship and learn something? Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Thank you, but theres no need. Sigh, youre just too unfamiliar. Xu Xiyan swiped her phone and said, Ill look for the designer of this dress. Maybe my husband knows her. It was designed byQiao Mu? Eh, this person actually has the same name as Qiao Mu Xu Xiyan did not associate Qiao Mu with the designer she mentioned at all. She smiled and said, Mu Mu, what a coincidence. Qiao Mu didnt know whether tough or cry. Its me. Wha What? Xu Xiyan was stunned. Stop joking. How is that possible? As she said this, she scrolled down the webpage and saw the designers photo. The smile on her face froze. After all, they did not have much interaction with the fashion industry, so it was normal for them not to know. Before this, Xu Xiyan had already praised the brand and the designer to the max, so when they found out that it was Qiao Mu, their attitudes towards Qiao Mu immediately changed. Mu Mu, youre really amazing. Youre already a designer before you graduate? A piece of clothing costs more than 6,000 yuan. How much money do you want to earn?
Qiao Mu replied, Im just a neer. Its already good enough that I have this opportunity. I cant earn much. Everyone says that a big fashion designer is awesome and has a lot of worth. Mumu, you wont need to rely on a man to make a fortune in the future. Youre a living, strong woman! Xu Xiyans expression changed when she heard this. It was obvious that he looked down on her for relying on men! Chapter 663: Boyfriend Appears (2) Chapter 663: Boyfriend Appears (2)
Trantor:549690339 Xu Xiyan echoed, Yeah, since its Mumus design, do I still need to spend money to buy it? You have to give each of us a set. Sorry, I dont have any finished products. All the clothes are sold through official channels.
Xu Xiyan pursed her lips. So youre not that capable as a designer! Chi Xia came back from the bathroom and smiled calmly when she heard Xu Xiyans words. Mu Mu isnt very capable, butpared to you, shes just a little better. You Chi Xia, thats not how youpare yourself. The most important thing for a woman in her life is to find a good man. Im sure you dumped Gu Cheng because you wanted to hook up with a rich man, right? Chi Xia shook her head helplessly. Can we not be so vulgar? Although your nature is indeed a little tacky, if you expose it, youll be a joke to others. Its better to keep a low profile. His words made Xu Xiyan blush. She red at Chi Xia and picked up her phone to make a call. Hello, Hubby, can youe and pick me up? Weve already finished eating Hmm, I wont continue entertaining myself. You dont know, but all of us ssmates are jealous that I found a good husband Im not angry. Hubby, Ill wait for you. Everyone at the table looked at each other. Originally, other people wanted to tter Xu Xiyan because they wanted to get along better with her and get some benefits, but she really took herself seriously. Upstairs, in a private room. When Li Yan heard the womans I want to go home , he hung up the phone and stood up slowly. Ill leave first. You guys continue. Since he knew that Qiao Mu would be having a gathering here tonight, he decided to settle his dinner here and take the little woman home while he was at it.
Big Brother, are you going to pick up Qiao Mu? Su Chen stood up as well and asked. Seeing Li Yan nod, Su Chen followed him. Ill go with you. Since Qiao Mu was done, Chi Xia was done as well. This woman did not even call her after she was done! Lu Jingzhi shouted, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, how can you stand me up like this? Youre leaving before I even finish my meal! Without Little Fourth around, he would be the one left alone. Why were the women of these two so obedient, but his woman was always looking for trouble for her. Comparing people was infuriating! In Qiao Mus room, the dinner party hadpletely ended because Xu Xiyans husband had rushed to pick her up. Suddenly, there were two knocks on the door. Someone pushed the door open from the outside. Hearing the sound, Xu Xiyan rushed to the door before she could see who it was. Hubby Everyone looked over and saw an extremely handsome man standing at the door. They were instantly shocked. Xu Xiyans husband was not only rich, but also so handsome that people couldnt take their eyes off him! However, why were there two handsome men as soon as they arrived?
Which of these two handsome men was Xu Xiyans husband? Could it be Xu Xiyans husbands assistant? But that assistant wasnt inferior at all! Xiyan, your boyfriend is so considerate. Hes so handsome and treats you well. Youre going to live a peaceful life! someone praised. Thats right, Xiyan. Its not good to hide such a good husband. You should bring him along for dinner! Xu Xiyan was delighted when she heard those words. She was worried that others would say that her husband was not worthy of her. It seemed that she had good taste! However, the next second, when she saw who it was, she stopped in her tracks and looked at the two handsome men who had suddenly appeared. Chapter 664: Boyfriend Appears (3) Chapter 664: Boyfriend Appears (3)
Trantor:549690339 When Qiao Mu saw this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched. She did not expect Li Yan toe directly to the private room she was in and arrive so quickly! Li Yan and Su Chen walked into the room under the ttery of a group of people. Li Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard the discussion. He nced at Xu Xiyan, who had almost pounced on him.
Xu Xiyan stood rooted to the ground. She felt Li Yans cold target hit her body. The tingling sensation was like an electric current that opened up her meridians, and her heartbeat suddenly elerated. How could this man be so handsome? When she thought of her boyfriend At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from outside the door. Baby, Im here to pick you up! As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly plump man rushed into the room with small steps. The mans head was shiny as he appeared in front of everyone. Then, before anyone could react, he rushed to Xu Xiyan and put his arm around her waist. Baby, the party is over. Lets go. If the two handsome men hadnt appeared, Xu Xiyan wouldnt have thought much of it. However, the short and fat bald man in front of her looked like a clown in front of the two handsome men. This dramatic scene shocked everyone. They whispered, This is her husband? I thought it was one of those two handsome guys! Sigh, reality is cruel indeed. How can there be so many rich and handsome men? Its just a pity that Xu Xiyan found such a boyfriend. Hearing the whispers, Xu Xiyans face darkened. She held the bald mans arm and said to the group of people, Who wants a ride? My husbands Mercedes-Benz can fit four more people. The man smiled. Baby, I didnt drive that car today. I drove a Porsche. Dont you like to drive a sports car at night? Aiya, hubby, youre so good to me.
Qiao Mu and Chi Xia looked at each other. These two idiots, it was alreadyte autumn. Would they freeze to death if they drove a sports car? Qiao Mu continued to watch the show, and she saw Li Yan, who was standing behind the bald man, getting impatient. She secretly shook her head and signaled him to wait a while. If Xu Xiyan found out that this handsome man was her man, she would probably die of jealousy. One had to keep a low profile. Xu Xiyan looked at Qiao Mu. Mu Mu, if you need any help with your work, feel free toe to me. Youre wee. The corners of Qiao Mus lips twitched but she did not reply. When the bald man saw Qiao Mu, his eyes immediately lit up. Xu Xiyans expression darkened when she saw this, and she continued to target Qiao Mu. Oh right, Mumu, wheres your boyfriend, whos ranked among the top 300 in the country? Why didnt hee to pick you up? Xu Xiyan looked at the bald man and said, Husband, my ssmates boyfriend also owns apany and is one of the top 300panies in the country. I just want you to get to know each other. We can help each other if we work together. Oh? Was that so? Then who was her boyfriend? Maybe I know him. As soon as the bald man finished speaking, a voice sounded behind him.Here. Li Yan ignored Qiao Mus warning and spoke directly. As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look at Li Yan.
Everyone was extremely shocked. They did not expect this handsome man to be Qiao Mus boyfriend! However, what was even more shocking was the bald mans performance. President Li! Hello, hello. Its my honor to meet you in person. I didnt notice you just now. Its really snobbish. Oh, and President Su, what good luck did I have today to meet the two of you at the same time Chapter 665: Boyfriend Appears (4) Chapter 665: Boyfriend Appears (4)
Trantor:549690339 The moment the bald man turned around and saw Li Yan, his eyeballs almost fell out. He was not tall to begin with, and his bent back and humble attitude made him look extremely insignificant in front of Li Yan. This action was truly shocking.
Xu Xiyan couldnt stand it and tugged at her bald head. What are you doing? The bald man shook Xu Xiyan off. Stop fooling around! Cant you see that Im greeting you? he said angrily. Li Yan looked at the bald man who was bowing to greet him. He curled his lips coldly and looked at Su Chen. This is? Su Chen had been staring at Chi Xia and Gu Cheng since he entered the room. The coldness in his eyes could not be concealed. When he heard Li Yans question, he nced at the bald man and replied indifferently, I dont know him. Xu Xiyans face darkened when she heard the question and the answer. However, the bald man still introduced himself with a smile. From his reaction, it could be seen that the two people in front of him were not ordinary people! However, it just had to be Qiao Mus boyfriend! Ever since she was in school, Qiao Mu had been more outstanding than her in every aspect. Even the boy she liked liked liked Qiao Mu. She liked Qiao Mu very much, but Qiao Mu did not take it seriously at all! Xu Xiyans eyes shed with a hint of calction and she smiled. Mu Mu, so this handsome man is your boyfriend. I thought you and Yang Hao would be able to meet again and reunite! Continue our rtionship? This word was full of hints. Qiao Mus expression darkened. There was clearly nothing between her and Yang Hao, but Xu Xiyans words made it seem like there was something between them.
Yang Hao stared at Qiao Mu, his emotions extremelyplicated. When he found out that the clothes designed by Qiao Mu were on the market, he felt that the girl in front of him was filled with positive energy, just like when she was in school. Perhaps Qiao Mu was not vain, and he had misunderstood her? Li Yan nced at Xu Xiyan with a calm expression. This nce made Xu Xiyans body stiffen and she felt a chill run down her spine. Then, Li Yans cold voice slowly sounded, CEO Wang, someone just said that my fiance needs your help when she encounters a problem? Xu Xiyans face turned even uglier when he called her fiance. She nodded and quickly apologized with a smile. President Li, my wife was just joking. Please dont take it to heart. Ill go back and control her mouth! Indeed, you should. With such a woman by your side, yourpany will bring bad luck sooner orter. These words were a warning. Xu Xiyans face turned pale. How can you say that! The bald man looked embarrassed. Thank you for your reminder, President Li. Ill go back and teach this insensible woman a lesson now! Hubby, why are you helping an outsider Hurry up and leave with me! The bald man roared and dragged Xu Xiyan away. The room was finally quiet. Li Yan strode toward Qiao Mu and held her hand. Lets go. Why are you still wasting time at such a ss reunion?
Qiao Mu was unable to retort. She also felt that it was a waste of time. She followed Li Yan out and suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around to look at Chi Xia, then at Su Chen. After some thought, she decided to forget about it. It was none of their business. At this moment, Yang Hao shouted, Qiao Mu, what I said back then still stands! Qiao Mu was stunned and did not understand what he meant for a moment. Li Yans cold eyes swept over. What words? I said, Ill wait for Qiao Mu for five years. If Qiao Mu is still single after five years, Ill Qiao Mu felt a headacheing on and hurriedly interrupted him. Yang Hao, my boyfriend is here. Her uncles expression was really scary! Her life would be in danger if someone of the opposite sex said such things to her in front of her! Chapter 666: Li Yan’s Jealousy and Vicious Tongue Chapter 666: Li Yans Jealousy and Vicious Tongue
Trantor:549690339 Just when Qiao Mu thought that Li Yan would not size up Yang Hao, she heard the mans voice. Brat, youve got some guts. Yang Hao met Li Yans gaze. Although his voice was calm, there was a hidden killing intent that made people not dare to look directly at him.
Li Yan lowered his head and nced at Qiao Mu, then held her hand and left. Qiao Mu lowered her head. She was so innocent, so why did she vent her anger on him? Qiao Mu gently tugged at Li Yans arm. Uncle, are you angry? What do you think? Qiao Mu pouted innocently. Uncle, Im really innocent. It was purely Xu Xiyan who was trying to sow discord. She was jealous that I found such an outstanding man like you, Uncle! Li Yan nced at the little woman. If she didnt mention it, I wouldnt have known that you had a spare tire. Qiao Mu was speechless. Young Master Li was really hard to please when he was looking for trouble. Just as the two of them walked out of the hotel, they saw Shu Xinyu walking towards them. Shu Xinyu stopped in her tracks, and her gaze swept across Qiao Mus face. She greeted her with a smile, President Li, what a coincidence. Are you here for dinner? Li Yan nced at her indifferently and nodded politely. Without pausing, he led Qiao Mu to the parking lot.
Shu Xinyus smile froze on her face when she was treated like this. Even Li Yans mother had to greet her politely when she saw her, but Li Yan, a junior, was actually so disrespectful to her! Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mus back. It seemed like she had really underestimated this womans influence on Li Yan. She had asked Chen Ou to deal with Qiao Mu, but in the end, Chen Ou was chased out of thepany andpletely turned into a useless piece of trash! At the thought of this, Shu Xinyus eyes shed with a cold light. She looked at Li Yans back and said, President Li, please wait a moment. Li Yan finally stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Shu Xinyu. Whats the matter? President Li, I saw your mother a while ago. Your mother doesnt seem to know about you and Miss Qiao. Moreover, you have a fiance, but youre with another womanAs a mother, I just want to remind you not to make your mother sad. Shu Xinyu said earnestly. Qiao Mus eyes darkened. This Shu Xinyu really did not like her at all. She actually lectured Li Yan right in front of her! However, her uncle would not be educated by anyone. Shu Xinyus words did not benefit her at all. Immediately after, Qiao Mu saw the corners of Li Yans lips curl up bit by bit. He looked gentle, but there was a hint of coldness hidden within. His thin lips moved, and he said nonchntly, President Shu, if I remember correctly, you dont have your own children. In other words, she was not a real mother at all! Qiao Mu had witnessed Li Yans venomous tongue time and time again, but each time, she felt that his venomous tongue had reached a new height! She had actually poked at someone elses pain with one sentence. A woman in her forties did not have her own flesh and blood. No matter what the reason was, this was a kind of pain for her, right?
Li Yans words hit the nail on the head! Shu Xinyu, who was opposite him, had an uncertain expression at this moment. It was impossible to describe what she looked like with words. Fortunately, Shu Xinyu was very shrewd and quickly concealed her emotions. Since President Li doesnt appreciate it, then pretend that I didnt say anything. Shu Xinyu turned around and left after saying that. When he turned around, his face, which was originally as if nothing had happened,pletely darkened! Chapter 667: Heartache for Your Old Lover? Chapter 667: Heartache for Your Old Lover?
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu was helpless. Why do you have to say such vicious words to an elder? Its not wrong for her to not have children. Li Yan curled his lips coldly. Elder? Shes not worthy.
This little thing still had the mood to plead for others. She had no idea that Shu Xinyu was bent on dealing with her. The reason why she had not been sessful during this period of time was definitely rted to that woman! Qiao Mu looked at his frigid and frightening expression, so she raised her small hand and pinched his cheek, just like how he pinched her usually. She teased him, Uncle, dont always keep a straight face. Smile! Li Yan narrowed his eyes. He did not know when he had lost all his dignity in front of her. She could do whatever she wanted to him. She was very bold! She felt her soft little hands rubbing her face, and the coldness in her eyes faded bit by bit. However, his tone was cold. You dare to touch a tigers face? We havent settled our scores yet! Qiao Mu was speechless. This man was not cute at all! Qiao Mu was brought home by Li Yan to settle the score, while Chi Xia was in danger. After Qiao Mu left, everyone dispersed. Chi Xia nced at Su Chen and walked past him. Thinking of the scene she had encountered during the day, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She really did not want to see him at this time. She just wanted to calm down! However, Su Chen did not let her go. He grabbed her wrist and frowned. Do you treat me like air?
Dont touch me! Dont touch her with someone elses hand! Chi Xia almost blurted out the words, but she stopped herself. She subconsciously wanted to shake him off, but he held her even tighter. Chi Xias reaction made Su Chens eyes turn cold. This woman was fine this morning, but in the blink of an eye, she had changed her attitude. Was it because there was a man she couldnt forget at the dinner party tonight? He thought that it was just a simple ss reunion, but in the end, it was just for that man! To think that he thought that this woman had improved a little towards him! Su Chens anger was just short of a fuse. At this moment, Gu Cheng, who had not left, stepped forward and grabbed Chi Xias arm that Su Chen had grabbed. Young Master Su, Xiaxia asked you to let her go! Gu Cheng finally saw a glimmer of hope. Xiaxia didnt want to talk to Su Chen. It must be because she knew that his marriage was canceled, so she wanted to return to his side! After Gu Cheng finished speaking, Su Chens eyes darkened. Let go of your hand! The one who has to let go is you Before Gu Cheng could finish speaking, he was kicked away by Su Chen. He was so fast that no one could react in time. Chi Xia screamed, Su Chen, what are you doing?
Why? Do you feel sorry for your old lover? Are you crazy? What does my matter have to do with you? What right do you have to tell me what to do! He was clearly having an ambiguous rtionship with another woman. What right did he have to interfere in her matters? Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Say that again! I have nothing to do with you. You Ah, put me down! Before Chi Xia could finish her sentence, Su Chen carried her up and left the private room. Chi Xias head was facing down and she felt dizzy. She almost vomited out what she had eaten. Su Chen didnt leave the hotel. He went straight into the elevator and went to the room upstairs. He opened the door and threw Chi Xia onto the sofa. Finally, there was no third party. Su Chen grabbed Chi Xias chin and asked coldly, You saw your ex-lover and you want to revive your rtionship with him? Chapter 668: Can’t You Forget That Man? Chapter 668: Cant You Forget That Man?
Trantor:549690339 What nonsense are you spouting! Isnt it? Su Chen smiled coldly. Let me guess. Did you start to fall in love after learning that Gu Cheng canceled his engagement with his fiance?
Chi Xias face paled. She gritted her teeth in response to Su Chens question. She wanted to deny it, but she felt that it was unnecessary. Her silence only made Su Chen angrier. She acted as if she was tacitly admitting to his question. Su Chen pursed his lips tightly and held Chi Xias chin. So, you want to dump me and throw yourself into that mans arms? Chi Xia frowned when she heard his sarcastic words. Su Chen, thats enough! Im not stupid enough to treat myself as your girlfriend. To you, am I not your target of conquest? Su Chens face darkened. She never thought of herself as his woman. She never had the self-awareness to do so! He thought that he had changed a little during this period of time, but in the end, he was still no match for her first love! Su Chen curled his lips coldly and pressed his entire body against hers. Alright, then Ill conquer you! You Oh Su Chen kissed Chi Xias lips fiercely and pushed her onto the sofa possessively. Chi Xias eyes widened in fear. She shook her head in panic, but she could not stop Su Chen.
Her heart felt so ufortable that she could not breathe. It seemed that many things were changing bit by bit. When she heard Gu Cheng mention the annulment of the engagement, she was not happy at all. It was as if she was listening to someone elses matter and it had nothing to do with her. However, when Su Chen questioned her in a suspicious tone, it made her chest hurt. It wasnt because he doubted her, but because he was clearly having an ambiguous rtionship with another woman, yet he still wanted to meddle in her affairs! She almost thought that there was nothing wrong with dating this man. Although he sometimes asked for more, she had gradually gotten used to it. But Suddenly, Chi Xia felt a chill on her chest and was startled awake. She pushed him hard and shouted angrily, Su Chen, I dont need you to conquer me! Su Chen raised his head and met Chi Xias repulsive gaze. He stopped moving. Chi Xia tightened her clothes in panic and her body trembled uncontrobly. Then, she heard the mans deep voice, Chi Xia, you just cant forget that man? His voice was low and hoarse with a trace of unknown emotion.
Chi Xia tightened her grip on her clothes. No, this had nothing to do with Gu Cheng! However, was there a need to exin to him? Even if they had nothing to do with each other, she did not want him to misunderstand her. She opened her mouth, but before she could deny it, she heard the manugh coldly. Thatughter seemed to be saying that he already understood. Su Chen stood up expressionlessly and red at her coldly. You can leave now. Chi Xia stared nkly at the cold man in front of her. Su Chen had always been cold to her, but he had never been as cold as he was now. He was so cold that she felt like a stranger to him. Chi Xia had no time to think. She got up and ran out of the room in a panic. There was a loud bang in the room behind him. It seemed like something had been knocked over, making a loud, ear-piercing sound. Chi Xia stopped in her tracks and ran out of the hotel in one breath. Outside the hotel, Gu Cheng saw Chi Xiaing out and quickly walked up to her. Xiaxia, are you alright? Did he do anything to you? Chapter 669: Can’t Go Back Chapter 669: Cant Go Back
Trantor:549690339 Chi Xias face darkened instantly. She took a few steps back to distance herself from Gu Cheng. Why are you still here? Xiaxia, I saw Su Chen take you away and was worried. Did you tell him? You guys broke up, didnt you? Gu Cheng asked with concern.
Chi Xias face turned cold. Gu Cheng, please dont think too highly of yourself. No matter what happens to Su Chen and I, it has nothing to do with you. The two of us are already in the past. Please get this straight! Xiaxia, thats not true. Su Chen must have forced me. You still love me. Mirou and I have canceled our engagement. Can youe back to me? Gu Chengs eyes were filled with pleading. Chi Xia looked at the once gentle young man who was now trying to reconcile with her without caring about his image. However, her heart no longer had any feelings for him. If it was before, she might have wavered. But now, her heart was filled with the man who was cold to her. Sometimes, human emotions were really wonderful. Chi Xia looked at Gu Cheng and said word by word without any hesitation, Gu Cheng, theres no misunderstanding between us. What has happened is what has happened. It cant be changed. Even if Mirou and Su Chen werent here, I wouldnt have reconciled with you. Ive already let go of our rtionship. If you still want me to keep the good things that happened in the past, dont pester me anymore. Gu Cheng looked at Chi Xia with a hurt expression and sighed. She seemed to be talking to herself, but at the same time, she seemed to be asking, Is it really impossible to go back? Chi Xia did not reply and turned to leave. She couldnt go back. When she found out about Mirou, she couldnt go back anymore. When she agreed to be with Su Chen, she and Gu Cheng hadpletelye to an end. Chi Xia hailed a taxi by the roadside and saw a car stop. Mirou jumped out of the car and ran towards Gu Cheng.
Only Mi Rous character was not good. Perhaps she was sincere to Gu Cheng. But what about her? Who was sincere to her? The next day, Qiao Mu woke upzily. She had been punished the moment she returned homest night. A certain man took the opportunity to punish her in various ways, and she could not take it anymore, so she forgot to mention the important things. After breakfast, Qiao Mu eagerly poured a cup of tea for Li Yan. Li Yan nced at her and asked bluntly, If you have something to say, say it. This little woman looked like ackey. It was obvious that she had a favor to ask of him. Qiao Mu coughed lightly and sat beside Li Yan. Her expression turned serious. Uncle, look. The clothes I designed have been on the market for a few days, and the results are pretty good. When the timees, well get a share at the end of the month. Perhaps we can get quite a bit. So? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Are you going to treat me to a meal or pay for my night? Qiao Mu was speechless. I just thought that my money is temporarily in someone elses ount. Itll be mine sooner orter. However, Im in a hurry for money now, so I wanted to ask you for an advance. Even though Qiao Mu usually ate and drank from Li Yan, when she really needed a lot of money, she started to lose her confidence when she asked him for it. After all, she had said that she wanted to be independent and not rely on him. Upon hearing this, Li Yans expression was indifferent. How much?
Eighty thousand. After saying that, she saw that the mans expression was normal. For what? .. Pay your debts. You borrowed my money to pay off other peoples debts. So, are you a loan shark? Qiao Mus lips twitched. Uncle, Im serious! Give me the money in advance and Ill return it to you when I get it. Chapter 670: A Deal That Only Profits and No Losses Chapter 670: A Deal That Only Profits and No Losses
Trantor:549690339 Return it to him? Li Yans expression darkened. Since she was so self-aware, he would grant her wish!
If you want this money, why do you want to pay off your debt? I borrowed it from Xiaxia before. In order to help me, Xiaxia borrowed 80,000 yuan from her ex-boyfriend. Weve all forgotten about it. Now that shes with Su Chen, she cant possibly be involved with her ex-boyfriend, right? Therefore, this money must be returned. Qiao Mu exined in detail. Li Yan nodded. Just as Qiao Mu thought he had agreed, he said, Then how are you going to thank me? Thank you This word was too heavy, and Qiao Mu really did not want to face it. Every time he mentioned punishment and gratitude, it meant that this man was going to take the opportunity to suppress her. Qiao Mus fingers were intertwined, and she looked pitiful. Uncle, theres no need for gratitude between us. Its too tacky. Is there? Even brothers have to settle ounts clearly, let alone the two of us. Im not married, youre not married. .. Then what do you think we should do? This man actually came up with this! Thats easy. In the future, until you pay off the money, you have to serve me to my satisfaction every night. Li Yans casual words made Qiao Mu blush.
This bastard! She knew that he would definitely be indecent! She could only get the money at the end of the month. There was still a long time before the end of the month! She was not convinced. Its only 80,000 yuan. Isnt that a loss for me? Its not a loss. Well serve each other. Well definitely make you profit without losing anything. Qiao Mu was speechless. When this man became petty, he really gave her a headache! Qiao Mu steeled her heart. Alright, deal! Li Yan raised his hand and patted Qiao Mus head. Be good and perform well. Qiao Mu snorted. The man took out a card and handed it to her. Go get it yourself. Qiao Mus eyes lit up. Uncle, youve already given me your savings card. Arent you afraid that Ill take all the money out when youre not paying attention? Yes, I support your decision. The more you achieve, the more you perform.
.. Alright, just pretend she didnt say anything. Qiao Mu looked at the bank card in her hand and wondered if Chi Xia and Su Chen had resolved their misunderstanding after she leftst night. At the thought of this, Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. Uncle, you still havent told me who the beauty you arranged for Chen Ou is? Could she be Su Chens ex-girlfriend? Li Yans mouth twitched. Su Chen doesnt have such a strong taste. Hes not interested in men. .. A man? Qiao Mu was stunned. So it was really just a misunderstanding! Qiao Mu quickly called Chi Xia and exined the situation to her. After all, their rtionship was not stable, and a small misunderstanding could easily lead to mistakes. There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then he replied indifferently,I understand. Sensing that Chi Xias tone wasnt very pleasant, Qiao Mu said, Xiaxia, whether its Gu Cheng or Su Chen, Ill support you no matter who you love. Dont torture yourself. Chi Xias heart warmed. Thank you, Mumu. Why are you thanking me? Ill transfer the money to you in a while. Return it to Gu Cheng as soon as possible. Alright.
Qiao Mu transferred the money to Chi Xia. After Chi Xia received the message, she sent a message to Gu Cheng asking for the card number. Soon, Gu Cheng replied, Xiaxia, Im going to continue studying abroad. Im leaving tomorrow. Can I see you onest time before I leave? After all, there was no great enmity between them and they would not meet for the rest of their lives, so Chi Xia agreed. It was good to end things with the past. [Its updated after 12 oclock again. I really want to hit the wall. I cant adjust it in time.] Chapter 671: She Can’t Get Cornered With This Man Chapter 671: She Cant Get Cornered With This Man Trantor: 549690339 In the dining room, Chi Xia arrived on time. Gu Cheng was already waiting for her. She sat opposite Gu Cheng. As soon as she sat down, she handed her bank card over. Theres exactly 80,000 yuan in here. Take it. Gu Cheng looked at the card, and a hint of hurt shed across his eyes. He was confused. Chi Xias hand was raised in the air, so he had no choice but to take it. When did they be so distant and distant? Gu Cheng sighed. Xiaxia, Im leaving tomorrow. Thank you foring out to have dinner with me. Chi Xia looked at him. Even if we broke up, we cant treat each other like enemies. Good things dont happen to each other, right? These words were said lightly, making Gu Chengs heart sink little by little. The girl opposite him had really let him go. He would rather see her sad eyes when she faced him than see her so free and easy. The girl who used to smile at her was gone. Gu Chengs hands on the table were clenched tightly as he looked at Chi Xia. Xiaxia, if I had settled my problem earlier, if I hade back to find you before you met Su Chen, would you have I wont. Chi Xia shook her head and interrupted Gu Cheng, Ive said it before. Some things have happened, and we cant pretend that they dont exist. There are some ifs, so dont think about them anymore. Gu Cheng was disheartened and forced a smile at Chi Xia. Xiaxia, I hope youll be happy. Thank you. Gu Cheng handed the menu to Chi Xia. Order your food. Ill treat this meal as your farewell. Chi Xia smiled as she took the menu. She had always thought that she hated Gu Cheng to death for lying to her. She never thought that she would let go of it so quickly. Just as Chi Xia was about to order, a ck shadow suddenly stood at the side and the menu in her hand flew out. She looked up in shock and met Su Chens dark eyes. His deep, dark eyes stared at her as if he wanted to pierce a hole through her. Chi Xia frowned. What are you doing? Why? Am I interrupting your date? The corners of Su Chens mouth curled up, but his face was dark and scary. Young Master Su, its not Gu Cheng wanted to end it but was interrupted by Su Chens cold shout.Shut up! Su Chen red at Chi Xia. Come out with me! Chi Xia sat still. Su Chen narrowed his eyes coldly. Did you hear me? Come out with me! In the dining hall, everyone else looked over. Chi Xia knew that if she did not leave with him, he would not let her go, so she could only stand up. Su Chen left after showing his face. Chi Xia smiled apologetically at Gu Cheng. Ill be leaving first. Gu Cheng wanted to say something, but in the end, he didnt say it. After they left the restaurant, Su Chen dragged Chi Xia to the car. Chi Xias struggle was futile and she was shoved into the car. Su Chen got into the car, pursed his lips, and looked ahead without saying a word. It was very quiet in the car. Chi Xia bit her lip and broke the silence. Su Chen, Gu Cheng and I Shut up! Su Chen interrupted her coldly. Veins bulged on his hand that was holding the steering wheel. Chi Xia, you just fell out with me and youre going to look for Gu Cheng now? Youre really impatient! Hearing his words, Chi Xia lowered her head and said after a while, Since you think so, lets not get entangled. Su Chens dark pupils constricted. Say that again?! Chi Xia bit her lip and remained silent. Even though what she saw at the mall was a misunderstanding, it made her realize that she could not touch this man. He was like a poison. If she fell for him, she would be finished. Chapter 672: The Woman Ran Away With Someone Else Chapter 672: The Woman Ran Away With Someone Else Trantor: 549690339 She and he were from two different worlds, and she didnt want to touch them. Su Chen pursed his lips, his face pale. Just now, when she was facing Gu Cheng, she smiled so easily, but now, when she was facing her, she only lowered her head and became mute! He hooked his arm around her chin and squinted at her. Chi Xia, do you think the woman I want can escape from me? Chi Xias face paled and she remained silent. If you want to get rid of me, thats fine too. Then, you can take the initiative to give yourself to me. Perhaps, after I seed, Ill lose interest in you. Chi Xia gritted her teeth and a hint of shock shed across her eyes. As expected, he could only conquer her! She took a deep breath and said after a while, Alright. Su Chens expression didnt improve at all. Instead, it became even gloomier. He kissed her fiercely and tugged at her clothes. Chi Xia tried to stop him in a panic, but he sneered at her. Didnt you agree? Then I want it now! Su Chens movements were so big that Chi Xia couldnt struggle and started to fight with him in the car. After a while, she had used up all her strength. She leaned back in her seat weakly and allowed him to kiss her rudely. Her vision started to blur. Chi Xia bit her lip, unwilling to let her tears fall. The woman in his arms did not respond. Su Chen moved and looked up to find that the woman was crying silently! In an instant, the anger in his heart surged up, and that frustration swallowed his entire body. He pushed her away forcefully and sneered. Didnt you do it willingly? Chi Xia, do you think I want any woman? You dont have the right! Chi Xias heart ached. She raised her hand to wipe her tears. Can I go now? Get lost! Su Chen said in a gloomy voice. Chi Xia escaped from the car with a pale face and ran in the opposite direction without looking back. Just as she thought, how could such a man fall for her? He was just ying around and enjoying the pleasure of conquering her. Unfortunately, he realized that she was very boring now. Fortunately, she was not tempted. In the car, Su Chen mmed his fist on the steering wheel, his face dark and ugly. He was really going crazy from this woman. How could hepletely lose control! He had always been good at controlling his emotions, but he almost His phone rang. Without looking at the caller ID, he answered the call and said impatiently,If you have something to say, just say it. Dont waste my time! The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds before azy voice sounded. Your tone is so bad. Did the woman run away with someone? The anger in Su Chens voice faded. Big Brother, Im not in the mood to joke around. Looks like I was right. I have a job for you here. Theres a problem with the goods in the south. Go over and take a look. Little Four cant go to the east now, so only you can go. Its a good ce to rx after falling out of love. Su Chen was speechless. For a moment, the anger in Su Chens heart was suffocating. She thought about it and asked, How long will you be gone? One month. Alright, Ill go. Su Chen was about to hang up when he heard Li Yan say, Help me thank Chi Xia. She borrowed money from her ex-boyfriend for Qiao Mu and only returned it now. Su Chen was stunned. Just as he was about to ask something, Li Yan hung up. Borrowing money from her ex-boyfriend? So, Chi Xia didnte to see Gu Cheng today because she wanted to cut ties with Gu Cheng? Su Chen looked at the rearview mirror, but the figure had already disappeared. Chapter 673: A Date Between Two People (1) Chapter 673: A Date Between Two People (1)
Trantor:549690339 Since it was Sunday, Qiao Mu stayed at home to apany Li Yan all day. She listened to the conversation between Li Yan and Su Chen quietly. When she saw the man hang up, she quickly went up to him. Uncle, what happened to Su Chen and Xiaxia?
I dont know. You just said that he was heartbroken. I just said it casually. Li Yan pulled the little woman into his arms helplessly. Can you stop worrying about other peoples matters? If you have such thoughts, put them on your man. Qiao Mu thought about it and felt that what Li Yan said made sense. It was indeed not good for an outsider like her to meddle too much. Qiao Mu saw that it was still early, so she shook Li Yans arm on a whim. Uncle, shall we go watch a movie? Li Yan looked at the little womans sparkling eyes and smiled. Okay. Qiao Mu was beyond excited. She was confident that they had not watched enough movies in the cinema after being together for so long. That was something every couple had to do! Qiao Mu returned to her room and rummaged through her wardrobe. She finally turned it upside down before she found two sets of clothes. The clothes were a couples outfit that she had personally designed so that she could wear it when she went out on a date with Li Yan one day. Now, it came in handy. Li Yan looked at the clothes in the little womans hands and frowned. Is this for me? Qiao Mu nodded. I designed it myself. Its a one-of-a-kind couple outfit. Arent you very happy?
Li Yan was speechless. Qiao Mus so-called couple outfit was two sets of sweaters. In Li Yans impression, the clothes were meant for young men and women. Qiao Mu was suitable to wear them, but he looked too childish in them! However, the little woman was very excited and stuffed the clothes into his hands. Uncle, go and change your clothes. Looking at the little womans expectant expression, Li Yan hesitated for a moment before helplessly changing his clothes. At this moment, Qiao Mu had also changed her clothes. She sized up the man who was dressed so casually and felt her eyes light up. He was apletely different type of handsomeness from his usual self. Most of the time, this man was dressed in formal attire. Even though he would wear casual clothes sometimes, this was probably his first time wearing such a style. The beautiful colors faded the fortitude on his body, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He looked like apletely warm man. Qiao Mu stroked her chin andmented, As expected, clothes make a person. Hes simply too cool! So, Im not usually handsome? Of course not as handsome as wearing the clothes I designed myself! Qiao Mu hugged Li Yans waist delightedly. Uncle, Im your personal designer now. You have to listen to me when ites to your clothes. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. Although he had a slight aversion to this set of clothes, it was gone in an instant.
Forget it. If the little thing likes it, let her be. The two of them dressed up. Qiao Mu was wearing a skirt and leggings, while Li Yans casual pants matched her outfit perfectly. When did you get my size so urate? Li Yan asked Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu chuckled. I secretly took the clothes in your wardrobe and measured them. Fortunately, theyre casual clothes, so I barely managed to get past them. If I were to wear formal clothes in the future, Id have to personally take my size. Li Yans eyes shed with a hint of ambiguity. Youre touching me all over every day and youre not even sure of my size? Next time, Ill take off my clothes and let you measure me urately. Qiao Mu was speechless. Why could he say such a serious thing so wretchedly? [Dont stay upte to read it. Itll be the same as reading it tomorrow morning.] Chapter 674: A Date Between Two People (2) Chapter 674: A Date Between Two People (2)
Trantor:549690339 After they went downstairs, the butler was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Yans attire. He smiled and went forward to wee him.Young Master, your attireIts very novel. Uncle Chen, I designed this, Qiao Mu said proudly. Doesnt Uncle look especially handsome in it?
Yeah, I feel ten years younger. Li Yan was speechless. Qiao Mu was speechless. Her words made it sound as if her uncle was usually very old. Qiao Mu excitedly went to the cinema. As it was the weekend, there were many people in the cinema, so it was a little difficult to buy tickets without booking in advance. Li Yan asked her what movie she wanted to watch. Qiao Mu looked at the introduction, but there was nothing she particrly liked. She said that she would watch whichever movie she could buy tickets for. The most important thing was not the content of the movie, but the fact that he was sitting next to her! Qiao Mu stood at the side and watched Li Yan queue up to buy tickets. He stood patiently in the crowd, his tall and straight body making it impossible for others to ignore him. This man had never done such a thing before. He had always done trivial things with just a word, and others had done it for him. This was the first time he had lined up for her to buy tickets like an ordinary boyfriend. She was inexplicably touched. This kind of in happiness made her shut her mouth and feel sour. She squeezed through the crowd and went up to Li Yan. At this moment, Li Yan had already bought his ticket. He turned around and saw that the little woman was being squeezed behind him. He reached out his arm to protect her. Why didnt you wait by the side?
Qiao Mu raised her head and smiled at him. Uncle, I want to eat popcorn and ice cream. Li Yan nodded and took out his card to pay. Li Yan handed the ice cream to Qiao Mu and helped her hold arge bucket of popcorn. He held her hand and entered the theater. When they were checking tickets, the ticket inspector nced at Li Yan and Qiao Mu before letting them pass. Then, the two ticket inspectors whispered, Another couple has entered the Haunted House. Looks like couples like to watch horror movies. Another said, Horror movies can increase the rtionship between two people. Girls will throw themselves at each other when they are afraid. These men are really scheming. Qiao Mu didnt know that they were being talked about at all, so she smiled disapprovingly. However, when they entered the theater and sat down, the atmosphere was not right. Qiao Mu only became puzzled when she heard a scary voice at the beginning. Uncle, what movie did you buy? I bought one randomly. Qiao Mu was speechless.
She picked up the movie ticket and saw that it was a horror movie! She nced at Li Yan. Uncle, so the scheming man the ticket inspector was talking about is you! Li Yan was speechless. He really didnt do it on purpose. He only told the ticket seller Qiao Mus exact words and bought a movie that was about to start and had tickets avable. He didnt know what it was exactly. Qiao Mu really did not have the guts to watch it, but she also felt that it was very exciting. She held Li Yans hand nervously and screamed along with the crowd as she watched. Li Yan was helpless. She was actually so scared of such a boring movie. However, he didnt mind that she kept hiding in his arms. In the end, she buried herself in his arms and stole a nce. Then, she screamed and turned her face to his chest. Throughout the entire process, the two of them did not watch much of the movie. One was scared, and the other waspletely enjoying the feeling of throwing herself into his arms. Finally, the movie ended. In the end, they found out that it was just a dream of the female lead. Qiao Mu had yet to recover from her shock. She walked out of the theater and held Li Yans hand, afraid that he would shake her off. When the sky turned dark outside, Li Yan asked Qiao Mu what she wanted to eat for dinner. Qiao Mu answered pitifully, I want to go home.
Chapter 675: The theme of the finals: True Love Chapter 675: The theme of the finals: True Love
Trantor:549690339 Then, the two of them went straight home. Throughout the night, Qiao Mu never left Li Yans side. She followed him wherever he went.
Li Yan was in the study room, so she followed him to the study room. When Li Yan went to get some water, she followed closely behind and even held his hand. In the end, Li Yan wanted to take a bath, but Qiao Mu was very shy and blushed as she discussed, Uncle, why dont we shower together? Li Yan was really ttered. At this moment, Li Yan concluded that he should watch this kind of movie more often in the future. Qiao Mu simply had mixed feelings as she showered with Li Yan. She was so embarrassed that she would die. She would never have thought that the first time she took the initiative to shower with Li Yan was because she was afraid of being alone! However, when she felt Li Yans naked gaze, she began to regret it. The great temptation was right in front of him. How could Li Yan endure it? Just as he was about to take advantage of the situation, he heard Qiao Mus aggrieved voice. Uncle, I cant. My mind is filled with the plot of the movie. Im not interested. Li Yan was speechless. After a few days of leisure, Qiao Muspetition was approaching. It was time to announce the theme of the finals.
Chen Ou was kicked out of thepany. In order to prevent the theme of thepetition from being leaked by him, the panel of judges redrafted the theme. The nine contestants, including Qiao Mu, arrived at the Key studio. Amy announced the rules of thepetition. The finalists were divided into three groups, and each group would choose one contestant topete for the top three spots. In other words, thepetition was divided into two rounds, and the costumes needed to be designed for two rounds. If they were eliminated in the first round, the works of the second round would not have a chance to be disyed. The theme of the finals was true love. Everything revolved around this theme, and he could use his imagination to his hearts content without any restrictions. After the announcement of the rules, the yers dispersed and went back to prepare. Amy stopped Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, go to Keys office. Qiao Mu nodded and walked toward the office. Ning Tongtong watched Qiao Mu leave and smiled at Amy. Director Amy, may I know why Teacher Key is looking for Qiao Mu? Shes so close to Teacher Key. Its inevitable that people will make wild guesses. Amys expression turned cold. Qiao Mus works are under the Key brand, so its normal for her to have dealings with thepany. Thepany wont give any contestants special treatment, so dont worry. I know, but I heard from the other contestants that Qiao Mu and Teacher Key are close and have an ambiguous rtionship Ning Tongtong, should you say such things?
Im really not spouting nonsense. I trust Teacher Key, but I dont trust Qiao Mus character. After all, she giarized my work. As Ning Tongtong spoke, she saw that Amys expression was wavering, so she continued to fan her. Director Amy, you must keep an eye on Qiao Mu. You cant let her do anything out of line with Teacher Key. You should know that Qiao Mu can even seduce Li Yan, who already has a fiance, let alone Teacher Key Originally, Ning Tongtong had ced all her hopes on Shu Xinyu, but Shu Xinyu had no one else to use, so she could only think of a way herself. As the match drew closer, she became more and more flustered and flustered. The current situation did not benefit her at all. Her image was also half ruined by the giarism incident. She had wanted to attack Qiao Mu, but she ended up getting herself dirty instead. She knew that with Qiao Mus qualifications, she was no match for her in a fairpetition, so she could only think of other ways! And the only person who could do it now was Amy! [After todays update, Ill start writing about Ning Tongtong and Shu Xinyu. It wont be long before I find out about their identities. Also, the students must go to bed early and not stay upte. During the day, they can rush for updates as much as they want. Who knows, maybe they can finish the update in one go during the day?] Chapter 676: This Girl Is Too Scheming Chapter 676: This Girl Is Too Scheming
Trantor:549690339 Ning Tongtongs words brought out the haze that already existed in Amys heart. Qiao Mus existence had always been a knot in her heart. She was extremely bothered by the way Key treated Qiao Mu. There were endless discussions outside, and she could not allow Qiao Mu to ruin Keys image.
Ning Tongtong looked at Amy, and the corners of her lips curled up sinisterly. She said apologetically, Director Amy, perhaps Im overthinking things, but I just cant stand people like Qiao Mu who use their power to climb up the ranks. Ill try my best to defeat her in thepetition, but if she were to exchange her final piece with Teacher Key in private, then Ill have no choice but to admit defeat. I didnt lose in terms of influence, but in terms of scheming. Amy sneered. Miss Ning, youre right. Youre indeed not as scheming as Qiao Mu. Otherwise, you wouldnt have done such a stupid thing as bribing Weibo users to spread the news. Ning Tongtongs expression froze, and her reaction quickly dimmed. Maybe you wont believe me if I say I didnt do it, but it really has nothing to do with me. I dont know who gave the order. Just like you said, even if I had a little brain, I wouldnt do such a self-destructive thing. Doesnt Director Amy think that theres something fishy about this? In the end, the person who benefits wont be me, but Qiao Mu. So, youre saying that Qiao Mu directed and acted by herself? Amy couldnt believe it. Seeing that Amy had taken the bait, Ning Tongtong shook her head. Im just suspecting. After all, I dont have any evidence. Amys brows were tightly knitted. It was not impossible to think about it this way. It seemed like Qiao Mu was attacked, but in the end, Qiao Mu did not suffer any losses. Instead, the sales of her works soared. If that was really the case, then this girl was too scheming. Qiao Mu came to Keys office. Key teacher, whats the matter? Key raised his head. Qiao Mu, leave your bank ount number. The contract was signed in a hurry, so the transfer procedures are iplete. Qiao Mu filled in the card information and asked expectantly, Teacher Key, how many clothes did I sell? Key said calmly, Starting from the official website, the total sales volume was 8,000 units. A few days after theunch, the sales volume in all the major shopping malls in the country was 14,000 units.
So many? Qiao Mus eyes widened in surprise when she heard this miraculous number. What, you dont have any information about your own work? Its only been on the market for a few days. Itll be a hot sale for the next two months. It wont be a problem for it to break through 100,000 sales. Qiao Mu suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked curiously, Then how much can I get? The first round will only calcte the sales on the official website. You will get about 400,000 yuan. Qiao Mu opened her mouth wide. Teacher Key, youre giving me so much, arent you going topensate me? KEY.. Key now believed that Qiao Mu was as bad at math as she had said. The total sales volume was tens of millions. After deducting all the costs andbor costs, thepany would at least earn more than five million. She actually thought that 400,000 yuan would be more. Key smiled helplessly. Do you think Im doing charity to support you? Qiao Mu smiled awkwardly. This sum of money was really much more than she had expected. At this moment, Amy walked into the office and saw Key and Qiao Mu talking about something while smiling. She walked over and put down the documents. Key, theres a meeting in ten minutes.
Key nodded and said to Qiao Mu, If nothing goes wrong, the first payment will be transferred today. Go back and focus on thepetition. By the way, send me the original draft of the new clothing when you have time. I want to save it. Qiao Mu nodded and left the office happily. Chapter 677: 679-The Right One Arrives at Your Door Chapter 677: 679-The Right One Arrives at Your Door
Trantor:549690339 Key handed Qiao Mus bank card information to Amy. Inform the finance department to transfer Qiao Mus share to her. Amy took it and said, Key, you gave Qiao Mu quite a high cut. Logically speaking, a neer like her should only get one point, but you gave her 1.5 points.
Key replied without even raising his head,With Qiao Mus ability, shell be able to get a 1.5 percent cut. But When Key saw that Amy still wanted to say something, he raised his head and looked at her. Amy, do you have something against Qiao Mu? Amy was stunned. How could that be! Thats good. Go prepare for the meeting. Amy clenched her fists. This man had always been like this, always keeping a distance from her, making it impossible for her to get close to him! After Qiao Mu left Key Studio, she went to school to apply for leave and prepare for the uingpetition. Fortunately, she had some results now. The school supported her unconditionally and gave her time topete. In the afternoon, Qiao Mu, Chi Xia, and Yu Bao had lunch at a small restaurant near the school. Qiao Mu looked at Chi Xia and asked, Xiaxia, how are things between you and Su Chen? Chi Xia lowered her gaze. Nothing much. I have nothing to do with him anymore.
Qiao Mu was stunned. Before she could say anything, Baby Guan asked anxiously, You guys separated? Isnt this too fast? We were never together. It was impossible for them to be together. Qiao Mu sighed. She could tell how much Su Chen cared about Chi Xia. She wanted to persuade him, but seeing that Chi Xia didnt want to talk about it, she had no choice but to stop. Qiao Mu shifted the topic to Baby Guan. Baby, what about you? Have you made any progress with Lu Jingzhi? Baby Guan held her chin and swiped her phone in boredom. Dont talk about me. Im still single. Chi Xia pursed her lips. A few nights ago, you didnte home at all. How dare you say that youre single? Her words made the usually thick-skinned Baby Guan blush. Well, you might not believe it, but Lu Jingzhi and I are really innocent. We just maintain a friendly cohabiting rtionship and dont sleep together. He said that my brother told him to keep an eye on me and not cause trouble, but now Ive sessfully escaped from his clutches. Qiao Mu smiled. Lu Jingzhi is so considerate. Didnt he despise you before? Why are you pestering me now? Baby Guan pointed at her head. There must be something wrong with him. Hes short-circuiting intermittently and now hes acting like an old mother. Xiaxia, were both single now. Do you want to go to some social event together? Who knows, maybe youll find your Mr. Right? Qiao Mu was speechless. Chi Xia was speechless.
Baby Guan, are you crazy about men? An angry voice rang out. Baby Guans eyes widened in shock. She looked up and saw Lu Jingzhi standing behind her like a ghost! She jumped up. You, you, you Why are you here? Lu Jingzhi nced at her. Didnt you want to find the right person? Im here. Baby Guan was speechless. Youre the obstacle that prevents me from finding happiness! Hurry up and go away! Baby Guan waved her hand, shooing him away like a duck. Qiao Mus lips twitched. She could not help but want tough when she saw Lu Jingzhis angry face. No matter what, she had some grudges against Lu Jingzhi. Back then, Lu Jingzhi did not like her being with Li Yan. After Li Yan went abroad, Lu Jingzhi took the opportunity to hit her when she was down. Now that she saw Lu Jingzhi being tortured, she was very happy. Chapter 678: You Change Your Mind So Quickly Chapter 678: You Change Your Mind So Quickly
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu gloated. Baby, our school has a social gathering every Friday. I know the group leader who organized it. Shall I sign you up? Baby Guan nodded happily. Okay, hurry up and sign up now!
Qiao Mu pretended to take out her phone and look through her contacts, but before she could make the call, Lu Jingzhi snatched it away. Lu Jingzhi frowned. Qiao Mu, dont make a fuss. Oh? What did you call me? Qiao Mu arrogantly raised her chin. Lu Jingzhi gritted his teeth. Sister-inw! Qiao Mu felt veryfortable when she heard him call her sister-inw. She smiled apologetically at Baby Guan and said, Baby, I cant get through to you. I wont register you this time. Well talk about it next time. Baby Guan was speechless. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. There was still the next time! This Qiao Mu was obviously trying to stir up trouble on purpose. Lu Jingzhi snorted coldly and dragged Baby Guan away. Baby Guan shouted, Hey, why are you pulling me? If you dont let go of me, dont me me for being rough with you! Youve already kissed her. Why are you being so reserved? Lu Jingzhi did not stop walking.
Embarrassed, Baby Guan kicked Lu Jingzhis back. Unfortunately, the man seemed to have eyes on his back. He pulled her hard and kicked air. Lu Jingzhi then started to lecture her, Baby Guan, didnt I warn you before? As a girl, dont kick and punch so easily. Dont you look like ady at all! Im not ady. If you like ady, go find ady! Lu Jingzhi stuffed Baby Guan into the car and sat in it himself. He nced at her and said, Who said I likedies? Baby Guan was stunned. Then, she heard the mans voice again.However, I dont like a rough woman like you either. You Who wants you to like it! I dont like men like you who have no taste! Oh? Was that so? You change your mind so quickly. Lu Jingzhi smiled and leaned closer to Baby Guan. I dont mind helping you get your heart back. As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jingzhi kissed Baby Guan. However, he did not seed. Baby Guan reacted quickly and punched Lu Jingzhi in the face. Lu Jingzhi was caught off guard. This woman was really insensible! Immediately after, the woman began to chatter, Lu Jingzhi, dont push your luck. If you dare to touch me again, I will
What are you going to do? Youll devote yourself to me? As soon as Lu Jingzhi finished speaking, he quickly pulled her into his arms and kissed her again. This time, he seeded! Mm Baby Guans eyes widened as she clenched her fists and punched his chest. However, the mans body was as hard as iron. Her hands hurt from the punches, but she did not waver. The strong kiss almost swallowed her. The familiar yet unfamiliar taste made her gradually give up struggling. Ever since he took her first kiss away, she had been on guard against him. Although the two of them lived together, they had never had any intimate contact. To be honest, she did not reject such a passionate kiss at all. She actually had the urge to respond. The more she was like this, the more unconvinced she was. It was clearly this man who pushed her away and would rather have sex with another woman than have her as his fiance! Now, he was pestering him. He thought he was the heavens and could do whatever he wanted! Baby Guan nimbly kicked Lu Jingzhis chest in the narrow space of the car. Just as Lu Jingzhi was kissing her, he was suddenly attacked and kicked into the seat.
Chapter 679: Fighting to the End Chapter 679: Fighting to the End
Trantor:549690339 He frowned. Then, her slender body pounced on him, sat on hisp, and took the initiative to kiss him! This woman
His kissing skills were terrible! Baby Guan took the initiative and kissed Lu Jingzhis lips randomly. To be precise, she nibbled on them. After taking two bites, she saw that the man was staring at her with narrowed eyes and had no reaction. She stopped smugly and sat on hisp, ring at him condescendingly. What? Youre allowed to take the initiative? Im returning this to you. Now, were even! She wasnt a rabbit that he could toy with. If he took advantage of her, she would also take advantage of him! However, Baby Guan was so stubborn that she didnt react in time. She was the one who suffered! The corners of Lu Jingzhis lips curled up into a beautiful smile. His handsome face was very charming and he was stunned by Baby Guan. Back then, she had chased her husband from thousands of miles away to go to school here because she was bewitched by this mans appearance. When she found out that she had a fianc, her attitude was disdainful and she did not take it to heart at all. However, when Lu Jingzhi came to her house as a guest, she felt that it was not bad to have such a handsome man as her fianc. In order to leave a good impression on him, she dressed up as a mature woman. When she was with him, she secretly observed him. She felt that this man was handsome and extraordinary. He had an imposing manner. The nobility that radiated from him made her decide that she must marry him! However, reality proved that looks and temperament were all lies. This man was aplete scum!
Just as Baby Guan was staring at Lu Jingzhi in a daze, Lu Jingzhi smiled rudely. Woman, we cant argue! Baby Guan blinked. Before she could react, she felt a big hand on the back of her head, and thenShe was kissed again! After that, the two of them went back and forth, and it was really unfair! After a while, Baby Guan was so tired that shey on Lu Jingzhis chest and panted, I admit defeat. Donte again! Lu Jingzhi felt the soft body in his arms and his body was already extremely ufortable. He patted her back and said, Youre so heavy. Go down and sit properly. Baby Guan turned around and got out of his arms. However, when she stepped off his body, she identally touched a hard part of his body She looked down and saw that a certain part of the mans body was propped upTent! In an instant, Baby Guans face turned red and she pointed at Lu Jingzhi angrily. You, you, you You pervert! Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Why was this woman not ying by the rules? When a woman encountered such a situation, wouldnt she be so shy as to pretend not to know and not point it out?
However, she really couldnt me him. She was kissing him so passionately. As a normal man, it would be abnormal if he didnt react! Seeing her flustered and blushing face, he started the car as if nothing had happened and replied,Dont worry, I wont be lecherous to you! That one sentence extinguished Baby Guans arrogance. She snorted coldly and said in a strange tone, Thats right. Young Master Lu is so beautiful. He even did not stay idle at your fathers birthday banquet. Lu Jingzhi frowned. He really wanted to p himself. Why did they change the topic to this? Baby Guan, the woman from that day he exined. Baby Guan immediately covered her ears. Dont, dont say anything. Im afraid youll dirty my ears! Lu Jingzhis expression turned cold. She did not want to hear it, but he did not want to tell her either! She begged him to exin, but he couldnt be bothered to exin to her! Damn it, this woman was certain that he had done something indecent! Chapter 680: A Big Gift Chapter 680: A Big Gift
Trantor:549690339 After Baby Guan left the restaurant, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia also left. Chi Xia returned to school and the Law Facultys club started preparing for the oral defensepetition. Chi Xia was selected and started to get busy.
On the way back to the Li residence, Qiao Mu received a text message reminding her that she had received a transfer of 420,000 yuan. She used her mobile phone to transfer the 80,000 yuan she had borrowed from Li Yan to him. This money was too heavy. She had to pay the price of borrowing it for another day. In Li Yans office, Lei Yi was reporting his work. The phone on the table rang. Li Yan turned it on and saw a transfer message. It was exactly 80,000 yuan. Immediately after, Lil Woman sent him a message.80,000 yuan has been paid off. The money and goods are settled! Li Yan smiled and replied, The goods arent clear yet. Ill go back tonight to check the goods. Lei Yi looked at the mans expression and knew who he was texting. He coughed lightly and said, President, the Ling family is holding a family banquet for Young Master Lings mothers birthday. They invited you. Its not a big deal. Its just a simple meal for rtives and friends. Li Yans gaze was fixed on his phone. While waiting for a reply, he asked Lei Yi,When is Ling Xiing back? The flight is in the afternoon. Li Yan nodded and said nothing more. Lei Yi then left. Li Yan did not wait for Qiao Mus reply and immediately made a call.
After Qiao Mu saw Li Yans indecent message, she was hesitating on how to retaliate against her, and she became even more imposing. Suddenly, the phone rang. She picked it up and heard the mans voice.Where? On the way home. Go home and wait for me to inspect the goods? Qiao Mu was speechless. When Li Yan saw that the little woman was silent, he guessed that she must be shy. He chuckled and got down to business. Come with me to a birthday party tonight. Its Ling Xis mothers birthday party. Qiao Mu knew that Li Yan, Ling Xi, and the others were like blood brothers, so he had to be present at his brothers parents birthday celebration. However, if he brought her along, why did it feel like he was bringing an ugly wife out to visit? Then Ill go home and change my clothes first, Qiao Mu said into the phone. At night, Li Yan picked Qiao Mu up and went to the hotel where the banquet was held. After the banquet was divided into a few tables, Li Yan and Qiao Mu went to their respective rooms and heard Lu Jingzhi and Baby Guan bickering.
Whats there to eat with these cold dishes on the table? Wait for the main course! Im hungry. I was dragged away by you before I had my fill at noon, and youre still bothering me. Dont you know any manners? Youre already eating before everyone is here. When I went to your house, I saw that you were as obedient as a Japan wife. How did you pretend back then? Go back to pretending now. Do you think Im embarrassing you? Hurry up and go to Hong Kong to find your Japan wife. Shes my twin sister! The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched involuntarily as she listened to their childish conversation. These two quarreled wherever they went, yet they didnt find it tiring at all. When Lu Jingzhi saw Li Yaning in, he was toozy to argue with Baby Guan anymore. This woman did not know what she was up to anyway. There were only five people at this table, including the three brothers, Qiao Mu, and Guan Baobei. Su Chen was away on a business trip. However, there were six chairs on the round table, so Qiao Mu did not pay them much attention and continued to chat with Li Yan. Uncle, Im going to give you a big gift when we get back tonight. Hmm? What gift? As Li Yan spoke, he swept his gaze over Qiao Mus body. Im serious! Lets talk after dinner.
Alright. Chapter 681: I’m a Little Angry Right Now Chapter 681: Im a Little Angry Right Now
Trantor:549690339 Baby Guan said faintly, Mu Mu, youve been talking to Young Master Li all day, and now youre whispering to him. Whats so good about it? Tell us, or itll be so boring. Lu Jingzhi nced at Baby Guan. Shes having a private conversation. Why are you joining in the fun?
Lu Jingzhi, Im not talking to you. Can you stop trying to make yourself known? Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Do you know that I brought you here today? Baby Guan looked at Ling Xi. Young Master Ling, Im here to celebrate your birthday today. Do you wee me? Of course youre wee! Beauty, it just so happens that I dont have a femalepanion. I dont mind throwing myself into my arms before you and little San are together. Ling Xi did not care about Lu Jingzhis ugly expression and continued to joke around. Qiao Mu added fuel to the fire. Baby, I also think that Ling Xi isnt any worse than Lu Jingzhi. You can think about it carefully. Lu Jingzhi red at Qiao Mu with a dark expression. Why didnt Big Brother control this woman? She was simplywless! Just as he red at Qiao Mu, Li Yans cold gaze swept over. His protective look was unbearable to look at. Didnt they say that women were like clothes and brothers were like hands and feet? As they chatted, the banquet officially began. Li Yan brought Qiao Mu to congratte her on her birthday. When they passed by the hall, the melodious sound of a cello rang out. Qiao Mu looked over and saw that the person ying was Ji Lan.
After a simple birthday celebration, the dishes were already served. At this moment, Ji Lan entered the room and asked in a low voice,Young Master Ling, is this my seat? Ling Xi nodded and pointed at the empty seat beside him. Sit. Only then did Qiao Mu understand that this empty seat was reserved for Ji Lan. Ling Xi was still looking for trouble with her, so he invited Li Yans fake fiance over. Young Master Ling, who is this? asked Baby Guan curiously. A cellist. My mom likes the cello, so I invited her to y a few songs for her. Ling Xi did not know that Ji Lan and Li Yan had been involved in a scandal. He never paid attention to those gossips. He just felt that he was always the one who was left alone at dinner. Therefore, since there was a ready-made woman here, he arranged for her to be by his side at least to make up for his loneliness. However, this empty seat was between Li Yan and Ling Xi. Ji Lan sat down on an empty seat and looked at the man beside her in surprise. Young Master Li, we meet again. Sometimes, fate could not be stopped. Although this man did not give her facest time, it did not matter. For such a high and mighty man, the colder he was, the more charming he was.
Upon hearing Ji Lans voice, Li Yan turned his head and casually nced at him. He did not have any reaction and continued to lower his head as he slowly peeled the prawn in his hand. He cleaned the prawns shell and ced it into Qiao Mus bowl before asking softly, What else do you want to eat? Baby Guan was so agitated by Li Yans thoughtfulness that she could not calm down. Indeed,paring people was infuriating! Did Young Master Li have to be so considerate? Baby Guan passed the sea cucumber in front of her to Qiao Mu. Mumu, eat a sea cucumber to nourish your body. Qiao Mu shook her head and nced at Ji Lan indifferently. Im a little angry now, so I cant eat this. His words were full of hints. Baby Guan immediately understood that this Ji Lan was not a good character! Ling Xi frowned. The woman he had invited had all her attention on his big brother. He had originally just randomly found someone to make up for his double. Why was he still single now? Ling Xi felt that the atmosphere was a little off all of a sudden. He raised his head and met Qiao Mus gaze. There was a hint of malice in her eyes as she faintly smiled at him. However, there was also a hint of coldness in her smile, making him feel baffled. Chapter 682: Qiao Mu’s Black-bellied and Jealousy (1) Chapter 682: Qiao Mus ck-bellied and Jealousy (1)
Trantor:549690339 Ling Xi felt that the atmosphere was a little off. He did not expect Ji Lan to know Li Yan and talk about meeting him again. Ling Xi inadvertently met Qiao Mus gaze. There was a hint of ill intent in her eyes as she faintly smiled at him. However, there was also a hint of coldness in her smile, which baffled him.
However, when Ling Xi saw the way Ji Lan looked at Li Yan, he immediately felt that something was wrong. The woman he had brought along was looking at his big brother lovingly. He felt very embarrassed, alright? He had just randomly found a woman to share a table with them and identally found Qiao Mu a love rival. He really didnt do it on purpose. In order to express his sincerity, Ling Xi looked at Ji Lan coldly. Miss Ji, you can leave after you finish your meal and y a song for my mother. Ji Lan was feeling awkward because of Li Yans disregard for her. Ling Xis words came to her rescue. Ji Lan could not suppress the jealousy in her heart as she watched Li Yan express his goodwill to the woman on the other side. She had thought that this man would treat everyone like this, but he was actually so good to a girl! Could this woman be Li Yans fiance? However, Li Yans fiance, who had been exposed, had short hair! Uncle, I want to eat bitter gourd, Qiao Mu said at this moment. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Why do you suddenly want to eat bitter gourd? I need to extinguish my anger. The moment Qiao Mu said this, Baby Guan could not help but burst outughing. Mu Mu, do you want to use the demon-vanquishing tool No, Ill get you a fire extinguisher. If you dont calm down, theres really a need. Qiao Mus tone was indifferent, but her heart was not so calm.
This Ling Xi was really a troublemaker, yet he had invited this woman over. Look at the way Ji Lan looked at Li Yan. It was as if she had never seen a man in her life. Moreover, the two of them were sitting so close to each other. She really wanted to put a screen between them. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up when he heard Qiao Mus sour words. It was rare to see her jealous, so he teased her with great enjoyment. Do you want to be jealous? Qiao Mu was speechless. He was still in the mood to joke with her! He red at her fiercely but smiled innocently. Sure, Uncle. I havent tried this new way of eating yet. However, the innocent Ling Xi immediately called the waiter over to prepare a te of vinegar and bitter gourd. At this moment, Qiao Mu really wanted to say to Ling Xi, Serves you right for not having a woman! Qiao Mu kept calling him little uncle, causing a glimmer of light to sh across Ji Lans eyes. Then, he looked at Qiao Mus pure and innocent appearance, and she looked like a student at first nce. So, she was Li Yans nephew! The smile on Ji Lans lips deepened as she continued to greet Li Yan. Young Master Li, Im really sorry for bumping into you in the elevatorst time. You left in a hurry and I didnt have time to apologize to you. Li Yan wanted to treat the other party as air, but he was screaming like a fly. He turned his head to look. Just as Ji Lan thought that Li Yan had finally started paying attention to her, she heard the man say coldly,Who are you?
You! Yes! Who was it? He didnt remember thest time, and this time, he still didnt remember her! No matter what, Ji Lan was still a public figure. She was slightly famous in the art circle and had outstanding looks. However, she had been forgotten by Li Yan time and time again. To her, it was a great humiliation! Seeing Ji Lansplexion alternating between green and white, Qiao Mu instantly felt a little better. She stood up, stretched, and looked at Li Yan. Uncle, Im feeling very ufortable here because of the air-conditioning. Lets change seats. Chapter 683: Qiao Mu’s Black-bellied and Jealousy (2) Chapter 683: Qiao Mus ck-bellied and Jealousy (2)
Trantor:549690339 After Qiao Mu finished speaking, Ji Lan immediately stood up and said with a smile, Come and sit with me. Ill go over and sit. Qiao Mus lips twitched and she smiled politely. Sorry, I dont like to sit in a seat that someone else has sat in.
Ji Lan felt awkward again. He had already stood up and sat down with an ugly expression. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he switched seats with Qiao Mu. Now, it was Ji Lan sitting beside Qiao Mu. Although the strong perfume smell affected her appetite, Qiao Mu felt a little better. At this moment, Ji Lan eagerly wanted to help Li Yan and Qiao Mu exchange bowls and chopsticks. In the next second, Qiao Mu picked up Li Yans chopsticks and started eating. Then, the bitter gourd mixed with vinegar was served. Qiao Mus anger had subsided by now, and she handed the bitter gourd to Ji Lan. Miss Ji, I see that your face is flushed. You must be very angry. Eat more bitter gourds to reduce your anger. Ling Xi was speechless. Ji Lans expression was extremely ugly! However, she was too embarrassed to reject him. After all, Qiao Mu had said this with a concerned tone. Ling Xi, who was watching silently, only felt that Qiao Mu was so two-faced. However, Li Yan, who was watching from the side, smiled as if he was very satisfied with Qiao Mus actions. These two people, one was more ck-bellied than the other. Sure enough, one couldnt judge a person by their appearance alone. Since this Qiao Mu was able to take down his big brother, she was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
He had offended his future sister-inw in such a short period of time. Ling Xi felt a little guilty. This time, Qiao Mu was the one to fawn over him. She personally peeled a prawn and brought it to Li Yans mouth. Uncle, open your mouth. Li Yan was speechless. This was the first time these little things had shown such goodwill to him in public. Usually, there were only two possibilities for her to be so attentive. Either she had a favor to ask of him, or she had made a mistake and was asking for his forgiveness. And now, she was doing this because she was jealous. Although it was meaningless to be jealous, Li Yan dly epted it. He opened his mouth and bit the prawn meat, but he did not let go of the hand that was holding the prawn. He saw her squinting at him and smiling, so he bit off half of the prawn meat. Qiao Mu directly put the other half into her mouth. This action was a tant disy of affection! Li Yans lips curled up slightly. His emotions were all over his face. Baby Guan rolled her eyes. Mu Mu, thats enough! Why? Are you envious of my rtionship with my uncle?
Qiao Mu had always kept a low profile and never had any romantic rtionships with Li Yan outside. She was afraid that she would agitate a single person like Ling Xi. However, the situation was special now. Who asked a woman with ill intentions to sit beside her? She even made up a story to im that she was Li Yans fiance. She had not even be Li Yans fiance yet, but this woman had taken the seat first. Just thinking about it made him very unhappy! Although she was showing off her love, she was still quite good at it. In the eyes of those in the know, she was openly showing off her affection for Li Yan. They all knew about her rtionship with Li Yan, but Qiao Mus actions made Ji Lans eyes widen. How could his uncle and niece be so intimate? Splitting a prawn between two people was something that couples did! The more Ji Lan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not impossible for his uncle and nephew to have such a good rtionship! She did not believe that Li Yan would have such an intimate lover, so Ji Lan still believed that Qiao Mu was only Li Yans nephew. Chapter 684: Qiao Mu’s Black-bellied and Jealousy (3) Chapter 684: Qiao Mus ck-bellied and Jealousy (3)
Trantor:549690339 In order to attract Li Yans attention, Ji Lan became friendly to Qiao Mu. He smiled and asked, Have we met somewhere before? Qiao Mu acted as if she did not hear Ji Lans words. She picked up a piece of salmon and dipped it in mustard sauce before bringing it to Li Yans mouth. Uncle, eat this.
Li Yan looked at the little woman and opened his mouth to eat. Then, he said, You eat. Dont starve yourself. Youll have to look for food when you go back tonight. Alright. Qiao Mu nodded and picked up a piece of salmon to eat. After a while, she turned to look at Ji Lan. What did you say to me just now? Ji Lan suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said with a gentle expression,I think you look familiar. Have we met before? Qiao Mu shook her head. Really? I dont know you. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw an awkward expression on Ji Lans face. How ironic would it be to say that you did not know a public figure, especially someone like Ji Lan, who was not only a cellist but had also participated in entertainment programs and taken on advertisements. No matter what, she was considered to be somewhat famous. However, Qiao Mu still felt that her answer was not enough. She looked at Baby Guan and asked, Baby, do you know her? Baby Guan absolutely loved to pick a fight, so when she heard Qiao Mus question, she immediately replied, Im face-blind. I dont have an impression of ordinary faces, especially those with uric acid. Qiao Mu was speechless. These words were too ruthless! Qiao Mu could not help but want tough, but she did not show it in order to save Ji Lan some face.
She smiled at Ji Lan and said, My friend is straightforward and speaks her mind. Please dont take it to heart. What he meant was that Baby Guan was telling the truth. Li Yan leaned back in his seat, admiring the little womans cunning little fox. The corners of his mouth curled up as he looked up at Baby Guan. He thought to himself, Third Brothers woman is not bad. Lu Jingzhi had already seen how annoying Baby Guan could be when she talked. Now that he heard that she was attacking someone else instead of him, he was in a good mood. The conversation between Qiao Mu and Baby Guan finally made Ji Lans face turn pale. She cursed Qiao Mu and Baby Guan countless times in her heart. She couldnt do anything to Qiao Mu, but how could she tolerate Baby Guan humiliating her like this? Ji Lan smiled at Baby Guan and touched her own face. Miss, let me help you spread the word. Nowadays, its not a shameful thing to get a shot with the serum. Every woman likes to pursue beauty. Its like putting on a facial mask. Your facial mask is applied on the outside, but mine is absorbed into the surface of the skin. Baby Guan replied as she ate. Sorry, I dont understand what youre saying. Im a natural beauty. I dont even need a facial mask. Qiao Mu smiled and agreed, Yeah, I dont like to do facial masks either. Anyway, my skin is already as good as it gets. Its good to be young! Yeah, I think so too. But what surprised me the most is that some people still look so ugly after taking the shot. Baby Guan was indeed a bbermouth. Her words made Ji Lans fake smile disappear. Ji Lan looked at Baby Guan. Youre discriminating against others based on their looks. You cant judge others based on their looks.
Baby Guan smiled disdainfully. It seems like you cant ept your own appearance, so you want to get stic surgery. It seems like youre denying yourself. You Ji Lan looked at Ling Xi. Young Master Ling, this girl is really ill-mannered. How could you treat such a guest? [Im updatingte again. I think itll be done around 12 oclock.] Chapter 685: Qiao Mu’s Black-bellied and Jealousy (4) Chapter 685: Qiao Mus ck-bellied and Jealousy (4)
Trantor:549690339 Ling Xi was admiring the two women attacking Ji Lan together. Just as he was about to witness the exciting part, he suddenly heard Ji Lan pulling him into it. Was there something wrong with this womans brain? He was nothing to her, and she wanted him to stand up for her?
The two women in front of him were his future sister-inw and third sister-inw, okay? However, Ji Lan was not too stupid and did noty a hand on Qiao Mu. However, it was not a smart move for her toy a hand on Baby Guan either. At this moment, Lu Jingzhis expression darkened a little. Ling Xi spoke up to clear her name, What does this have to do with me? If you want to find someone to make a decision, then look for the person opposite you. He brought the person here. Lu Jingzhi sat opposite Ji Lan. When Ji Lan heard that Ling Xi did not defend Baby Guan, she felt that this Baby Guan was not very useful. She was probably just a random femalepanion that Lu Jingzhi had randomly found. Ji Lan took the opportunity to speak. Young Master Lu, please dont take my words to heart. Its just that your femalepanion is indeed Indeed what? Lu Jingzhi nced at Ji Lan and smiled faintly. Youre really ill-mannered, arent you? Ji Lans eyes lit up and she nodded her head. She was looking forward to Lu Jingzhi chasing away Guan Baobei. This way, she would finally be able to vent her anger. After Li Yan had feelings for her, she would educate Qiao Mu as his aunt! Ji Lan thought very well. Just based on the fate that she and Li Yan had met again and again, even the heavens were helping her! Lu Jingzhi turned his head to look at Baby Guan. You still think that Im nagging at you? Look, everyone says that youre uneducated.
Seeing that he wasnt defending her, Baby Guan red at him fiercely. Its rare for someone to think the same as you. Its indeed very rare. Lu Jingzhi nodded and looked up at Ji Lan again. He still had a smile on his face, but his tone was extremely cold. Even if she is ill-mannered, only I can say it. Who are you to judge her? Dont you want your tongue anymore? Ji Lans face turned pale. She did not expect Lu Jingzhi to have such a reaction, which instantly shattered her beautiful dream. She hurriedly lowered her head. Im sorry, Young Master Lu. I didnt do it on purpose. I Shut up. Dont let me hear your voice. Its disgusting. Lu Jingzhi then looked at Baby Guan. Look at you. When others say that you have no manners, you dont say anything and dont fight back. When I say that you have no manners, you just kick me. Can you change your habit of being unreasonable? Baby Guan was speechless. What did she mean by being unreasonable in her own home? She had always been tantly unreasonable, okay? She did not react just now because she wanted to see how Lu Jingzhi would react. If this man dared to help others bully her, she wouldin to his parents and let his father beat him up! However, she was satisfied with the result. Baby Guan rolled her eyes at Lu Jingzhi and put some food into her mouth. She mumbled, Who asked you to discipline me all day? You say that Im not good here and there. My self-esteem has long been destroyed by you, so dont bother me for no reason in the future!
Lu Jingzhi frowned. Dont talk with your mouth full. Baby Guan, cant you fight back and perform well? No! Qiao Mu looked at the pair of enemies who were bickering. Although Lu Jingzhis attitude towards Baby Guan was not very good and his tone was very bad, the fact that he was protecting Baby Guan at the critical moment was enough to show how much he cared about Baby Guan. Although Baby Guan disliked Lu Jingzhi, she was not really unhappy when she was bickering with Lu Jingzhi. Chapter 686: You Seems to Be Enjoying It! Chapter 686: You Seems to Be Enjoying It!
Trantor:549690339 Ji Lans expression turned uglier and uglier, and Qiao Mu was in a particrly good mood. She then turned to Ling Xi and asked, Young Master Ling, why dont you ask Miss Ji to y the cello for us to liven things up? Lively?
This phrase instantly lowered Ji Lans status. How could Ji Lan be willing to let her perform as if she was performing while they were eating? Ling Xi originally thought that Qiao Mu would definitely have a problem with him if he invited Ji Lan to wreck the show. Since Qiao Mu had made a request, he naturally agreed immediately and asked Ji Lan to perform quickly. Although Ji Lan was unwilling, it was a good opportunity to show off her talent in front of Li Yan. However, throughout the entire process, Li Yans attention waspletely on Qiao Mu. It was unknown what the two of them were talking about, and he did not pay attention to her performance at all! On the other side, Lu Jingzhi and Baby Guan were arguing. Ling Xi would interrupt them from time to time, but she was ignored by everyone like a slightly. Qiao Mu yawned when the song ended. Uncle, Im sleepy. Shall we go home? Alright. The banquet wasing to an end. The few of them got up and prepared to leave. Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand as they walked out. Ji Lans eyes widened in shock when he saw the two of them holding hands. No! This was definitely not the rtionship between an uncle and a nephew! How could they be so intimate!
The two of them were undoubtedly a couple! In an instant, Ji Lan had a bad feeling. Could it be Ji Lan followed him out of the hotel and walked up to Li Yan. Young Master Li, my driver hasnt arrived yet. Can you give me a ride? Li Yan looked at Ji Lan coldly. No. Ji Lan looked at Qiao Mu again. Mu Mu, can you Qiao Mu felt extremely awkward when she heard her call her mum. She smiled faintly. Im sorry, Miss Ji. If we let you ride in our car and let rumors spread between you and Li Yan, Ill be jealous. At this moment, Qiao Mu had already changed her tone and called Li Yan by his name. Ji Lans expression changed. If she still could not react at this moment, she would really be too stupid! This Qiao Mu was simply too sinister! He wanted her to think that they were uncle and nephew! Thinking about how she had been trying to curry favor with Qiao Mu throughout the entire meal in order to leave a good impression on Li Yan, she was so angry that she was about to go crazy.
Qiao Mu did it on purpose! He knew her intentions, so he insulted her like this! Ji Lan gritted his teeth as he watched Qiao Mu and Li Yan get into the car. His expression was already contorted with anger. After getting into the car, Qiao Mus expression immediately turned cold. Li Yan looked at her with a smile. Whats wrong? Didnt you have energy just now? Hmph, are you happy? Do you enjoy sitting with your fiance? Yes, I really enjoyed it. Li Yan nodded. When he saw Qiao Mu ring at him angrily, the corners of his lips curled up bit by bit. He reached out his arm to stop her, but she pushed him away. Im angry, but youre still smiling so happily! Why are you angry? Are you jealous of yourself? What did he mean by being jealous of himself? Qiao Mu pouted, extremely unhappy. Li Yan chuckled. Arent you my fiance? Youve been serving me for the entire meal. How can I not enjoy it?
Qiao Mus face instantly turned red, and she snorted. Whos your fiance?! You still dont want to admit it? Or do you want to give this position to someone else? Dont even think about it! You still have such thoughts! Qiao Mu clenched her fist and punched Li Yans chest, but her heart was bursting with joy. Chapter 687: Cold War Chapter 687: Cold War
Trantor:549690339 Li Yan had Qiao Mu to y around with, and after they were done, Qiao Mu buried herself in Li Yans embrace andughed happily. Uncle, I really want to know how Ji Lan reacted when he found out about our rtionship. He must be furious. Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved! Lets see if she still dares to have any thoughts about you.
Li Yan nced at her indifferently. I dont minding here a few more times. The treatment of being served by you isnt bad. Hmph, in your dreams! Didnt you say that you have a big gift for me? Li Yan asked. Can you give it to me now? Qiao Mu suddenly thought of this and immediately sat up. She rummaged through her bag and took out a bank card from her wallet. Uncle, this is for you. Hmm? Didnt you transfer the money to me? This is the first sum of money Ive earned. Other than the 80,000 yuan Ive returned to you, theres still 340,000 yuan in my savings. This is for you. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. You want to take my wallet? .. Thats not true! Can you prove it? Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan seriously. Uncle, Ive been spending your money all this while. Now that I have the ability to earn money, I want to You want to return the money you spent on me? Before Qiao Mu could finish her sentence, Li Yan interrupted her coldly. His originally gentle expression instantly darkened with a trace of anger.
This little woman was still calcting with him at this point! No, Uncle, I didnt mean that. Take this card first and well talk. Li Yans face turned cold. Talk about what? Talk about how much money you spent on me, how much you owe me, and then you want to pay me back one debt at a time? Qiao Mu, do you really want to settle the score with me so badly? So this was the gift he had been waiting for! 340,000 yuan was really a big gift! Qiao Mu frowned and shook her head vigorously. How could he change his attitude so easily? She didnt mean it that way at all, alright? The car stopped at the courtyard of the vi. Li Yan did not ept the card and opened the door to get out of the car. Qiao Mu was helpless. She hadnt even finished speaking, so why was he angry?! Qiao Mu quickly followed him and entered the house. She saw Li Yan striding upstairs and entering the study room before mming the door shut. In her memory, Li Yan had not been angry with her for a long time. This was also due to her being more obedient. Because they were in the honeymoon period, there were almost no quarrels and conflicts between them. They got along very well. When she was faced with a choice, she would agree to whatever she could agree to, and if she could not ept it, she would find a way to make him change his mind.
For example, she did not want to rely on him at work, so he gave her the space she wanted and let her develop on her own. She didnt want to give him the card to pay him back. If she wanted to pay him back, she could transfer the money and the 80,000 yuan to him. She just wanted to use her own way to prove that she was equal to him. Qiao Mu knocked on the door of the study, but there was no response. She pushed the door open and entered. Li Yan was sitting in front of hisputer. He did not even look up when he heard the voice. Uncle. Qiao Mu called out pitifully. It had been a long time since she was treated coldly by Li Yan, and she had forgotten how it felt like. She really did not want to remember. Finally, Li Yan replied without raising his head, If you insist on paying me back, you can leave now. Uncle, why are you so unreasonable? Im going to give you this card today. You have to take it no matter what! Qiao Mu mmed the bank card on Li Yans desk aggressively and arrogantly. Chapter 688: Carry the Cold War to the End (1) Chapter 688: Carry the Cold War to the End (1)
Trantor:549690339 Li Yans eyes narrowed. This woman was so arrogant that she was out of control. If he did not teach her a lesson, he really did not know who was in charge of this family! Li Yan nced at the card and held it in his hand. Just as Qiao Mu thought that he had been subdued by her imposing manner and was about to ept her gift, he saw the mans slender fingers gently fold the bank card, and the card instantly changed shape!
Qiao Mus eyes widened and she quickly snatched the card back, but it was already scrapped! In an instant, Qiao Mu felt as if her entire body was burning up. She was so angry that she mmed the card on the table. Li Yan, youre unreasonable! Youre unreasonable! You bastard! Qiao Mu angrily turned around and ran out of the study. In the end, she mmed the studys door with a loud bang to express how angry she was! She had sincerely given him the first sum of money she had earned, but in return, he had treated her so badly! She didnt want to give him the money. She just wanted to put the money she earned with him and let him manage it for her. That way, she would be able to live off him in the future. She wouldnt feel like she was living off a woman. She wanted topletely integrate into his life. She did not want to eat and drink for free for the rest of her life. The two of them were equals when they were together. She did not want to be a rice worm raised by him! Qiao Mu returned to the bedroom angrily. She grabbed her pajamas and hugged a pillow before moving to the guest room. She wanted to live separately from him! Although the pillows in the guest room wereplete, she still had to use this behavior to tell him that she was very angry. If he did not apologize to her, she would have a cold war with him! When Qiao Mu entered and exited the bedroom, she didnt forget to m the door forcefully to remind a certain someone what she was doing. When she passed by the study, her footsteps were extremely heavy, and it was difficult for him not to hear her! Li Yan was in the study room. He pulled out the surveince cameras in the corridor and saw the little woman enter the guest room with a pillow in her arms. When she walked to the door of the study room, she red at the door fiercely. She looked angry, but no matter how he looked at her expression, he found it extremely cute.
Sighing helplessly, he held the bent bank card in his hand and examined it. Thinking of the happy and proud expression on the little womans face when she held the card, his heart could not help but soften a little. He put the card in the drawer and got up to leave the study. In the bedroom, the bed was in a mess. There was no pillow, and the nket was lifted up. It was a mess. This woman wanted him to know that she was angry with him! But he was the one who should be angry! The first thing his woman wanted to do after earning money was to return what she owed him. It was as if she wanted to cut ties with him. How could he be happy? She still dared to mess with him! Li Yan came to the guest room and gently twisted the door handle. However, he realized that the door was locked from the inside! This woman! He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Qiao Mu, open the door. There was no response from the room.
Open the door! I fell asleep! Then whos talking? Sleepwalking! Li Yan was speechless. Are you going to open the door yourself, or should I barge in? I dont want to see you! Li Yan suppressed his anger. Qiao Mu, lets talk. Its toote. I dont want to talk about it now! Ill give you onest chance! Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at the door and threatened her! Threatening her! She would not fall for this!
Then, there was no sound outside the room. Qiao Mu turned around and prepared to fight the Cold War to the end! Chapter 689: Carry the Cold War to the End (2) Chapter 689: Carry the Cold War to the End (2)
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mus drowsiness came very quickly, and just as she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she heard a series of noisesing from the door. Then, the door was pushed open and footsteps sounded behind him.
She opened her eyes abruptly and saw that Li Yan was already standing by the bed. She pointed at him angrily. Get out! I said I dont want to see you! You dont want to see me just because you dont want to? You angered me and brought your own things over to sleep. You really can sleep! Why cant I sleep? Youre unreasonable! I have to prepare for the finals tomorrow. I want to be a famous designer, I want to earn more money, and I want to start my own business. I dont want to be your rice worm! Li Yan frowned and his face darkened. So you want to get rid of me? Qiao Mu was stunned and snorted. You can think whatever you want. I have nothing to say to you! I have nothing to say to you These words deeply provoked Li Yan. The woman who was acting coquettishly in his arms a moment ago had now turned into a porcupine with her hair standing on end, desperately trying to make things difficult for him. How long had it been since this woman had made him angry? She was always so obedient that he had forgotten about her. When she provoked him, she could really drive him mad! Li Yan bent down and lifted Qiao Mus nket before carrying her horizontally. Since she had nothing to say to him, then he would not say anything and only act!
Qiao Mu struggled. What are you doing? F * ck You! Li Yan said lightly. Qiao Mu flew into a rage out of humiliation and struggled even harder. If you dare to touch me, Ill Just Li Yan retracted his arm that was hugging her. Arent I touching you right now? Qiao Mu was speechless. She was so angry! She wanted to give him a cold war, but why couldnt she? This man really deserved a beating! Qiao Mu failed to resist and was carried back to the bedroom and ced under the nket. The man turned around and left. After a while, he returned with a pillow. Qiao Mu waved at the man as if she was herding a duck. Go sleep in the guest room. I want to live separately from you!
Its impossible to live separately. If you dont want to touch me, then roll up your nket and sleep on the floor. Qiao Mu was speechless. Good! Ill sleep on the floor! He threw down a sentence fiercely, but he had no intention of taking action. Li Yan agreed generously. Okay, go down and sleep. Qiao Mu secretly gritted her teeth. He was ruthless enough! Her uncle must not love her anymore. How could he treat her like this? In order to regain her face, Qiao Mu red at him and raised her voice. Im really going down! Li Yan nodded. His eyes seemed to be saying,Hurry up and take action! Qiao Mu gritted her teeth fiercely and sat up. Ill go down now Hey, why are you pulling me! Qiao Mus mood instantly lightened up when she was pulled back onto the bed by Li Yan the moment she sat up. She snorted. Youre the one who dragged me here, so Ill give you some face!
Li Yan was angry and helpless. This woman really knew how to make him angry! Sighing, he raised his hand and patted her head. Qiao Mu, take back that card. Forget it if you dont want it! Qiao Mu bit her lip and let out a muffled grunt from her nose. She had wanted to exin herself, but her words were blocked by his. Tyrannical and unreasonable! Unreasonable! She thought that he could understand her feelings, but he did not understand at all! He did not understand how insignificant she was in front of him. She desperately wanted to achieve her goal, just to prove herself. To prove her ability and prove that she was not his rice worm. Chapter 690: Carry the Cold War to the End (3) Chapter 690: Carry the Cold War to the End (3)
Trantor:549690339 The more Qiao Mu thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She buried her face in the nket and ignored him. Li Yan pulled her into his arms and said helplessly, Itste. Lets sleep tonight. Well talk about this tomorrow.
Qiao Mu snorted in her heart. Whos talking to him! She struggled for a while, but she couldnt break free from his arm. She could only give up. She didnt forgive him. She was just toozy to move! Li Yan watched as the little woman in his arms fell asleep quickly like a little pig. He felt very helpless. This woman, cant she be obedient forever! Li Yan sighed at the thought of this. Didnt he like her like this? Sometimes, he was as obedient as a rabbit, sometimes as naughty as a little fox, and sometimes, like now, he was like a little tiger baring its fangs and brandishing its ws, resisting her to the end. In Li Yans understanding, everyone had to obey him. His words were the imperial edict because he knew that his decision was definitely right. The other party would not be wrong if they listened to him. However, Qiao Mus appearancepletely shattered his beliefs. She had her own thoughts and goals, and she knew what she wanted and what she didnt want. She was only a 19-year-old girl, but she was not as ignorant as her peers. Sometimes, she really gave him a headache. He had never thought that dealing with a woman would consume so much energy, but slowly, he realized that everything about her was what he wanted. No matter which part of her was missing, she was notplete.
Before she appeared, he thought that women were dispensable to him. When she barged into his life, he realized that if he really loved someone, he could let her have his entire world. This little fellow had changed him too much and broken many of his rules. However, at this moment, she was still trying to challenge his temper. He could ept many of her willful actions. If it was not serious, he would agree to it after she acted coquettishly. However, he could notpromise on this matter. He had to let her know that everything he had was hers. She could ask for anything from him without any need for an equivalent exchange. She did not have to feel ashamed. He just wanted to give her his entire world. Li Yan caressed Qiao Mus face and lowered his head to kiss her lips lightly. He would slowly help her change her little habits. The next morning. Qiao Mu opened her eyes and saw the face that was inches away from her. She subconsciously rubbed against his body and hugged him like an octopus. She found afortable position and prepared to go back to sleep. Youre awake? A mans voice sounded above her head. Yes
Qiao Mu grunted, and her consciousness gradually cleared. She suddenly recalled the unpleasant incidentst night and immediately pushed Li Yan away. Why are you hugging me so tightly? Did you ask for my permission? she asked. Li Yan was speechless. This woman! Qiao Mu snorted and mumbled, You took advantage of me while I was sleeping. Dont think that Ill forgive you just because you took advantage of me. This isnt over! Then how do we finish? Qiao Mu sat up and red at him. Reflect on yourself properly. If you know your mistake,e apologize to me! Li Yan was speechless. This woman was not far from asking for a beating! He had originally wanted to have a good talk with her, but could he really have a good talk with her like this? Qiao Mu red at him and asked fiercely with widened eyes, Do you know your mistake? You should ask yourself that!
Chapter 691: Carry the Cold War to the End (4) Chapter 691: Carry the Cold War to the End (4)
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu was speechless. His unrepentant and righteous attitude simply made Qiao Mu stomp her feet in anger.
Alright! He was amazing! Qiao Mu angrily got off the bed and identally pulled away the nket covering Li Yans body, instantly exposing his body. She had wanted to make him suffer from the cold and deliberately find trouble to torture him, but when she saw his sexy abs and perfect body contours, her face instantly turned red. Damn it! What was she embarrassed about! Was this the time to be shy? She had seen and touched this body countless times, but why was it still so useless? She really had no resistance to this mans sexiness. Just thinking about it made him feel very unbnced! Why was he so stubborn? That was why he was so unreasonable now! In order not to lose herposure, Qiao Mus lustful gaze instantly turned into disdain and disdain. She snorted at Li Yans body and turned to walk into the bathroom. Li Yan was both angry and helpless. Qiao Mu, what kind of attitude is that?! Hmph, you deserve this attitude!
Come over here! Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are? Second Brother! Second Brother? Qiao Mu had already stepped into the bathroom, but when she heard this word, she stopped in her tracks in an impure manner. Ever since she woke up, this was the umpteenth time she had despised herself. What was she thinking? Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that the man had already stood up and was walking towards her. Li Yan never wore clothes when he slept. He only wore boxers. At this moment, he was walking towards her openly. Somewhere, he was obviously acting arrogantly! While Qiao Mu was in a daze, Li Yan had already walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her. Why? Are you unhappy with it? Qiao Mu felt like her entire body was in a bad state. She could still conceal her blushing earlier, but her face now was truly red. It was so hot that even she herself could not ignore it!
This man! He was really shameless to say such words as if nothing had happened! Qiao Mu took a step back and kept a distance from him. Im warning you, dont touch me! You still want to warn me? Who gave you the guts? Li Yan pulled her into his arms and frowned when he saw her wary gaze. You dont like me so much now? I didnt! He was clearly the one who misunderstood her thoughts! Your face is about to explode, yet you still havent? Li Yan pinched her face as he spoke. Qiao Mu widened her eyes. I told you not to touch me! Im still angry! Li Yan narrowed his eyes and curled his lips. How do you know that I like to force myself on you? I want to see who is more angry between the two of us! In the next second, Li Yan kissed Qiao Mus lips. Qiao Mu immediately pushed him away and was still in a cold war with him. He actually dared to force himself on her? If he did not apologize, he could forget about reconciling with her! Did he really think that she was a pushover that he could easily pinch? At the critical moment, she also had a backer!
Qiao Mu quickly ran to the bedside and picked up her phone, dialing Yu Yiduos number. She red at Li Yan smugly while crying into the phone, Auntie, Li Yan is bullying me. Pleasee and save me Li Yan was speechless. This time, Li Yan really had a headache! He hadnt even settled the matter between the two of them, and now he had dragged his nosy mother into it! This woman is really getting more and more capable! Chapter 692: Carry the Cold War to the End (5) Chapter 692: Carry the Cold War to the End (5)
Trantor:549690339 On the other end of the phone, Yu Yiduo heard her precious daughters cry for help and immediately became Superman. Mumu, wait for Mommy. Mommy will be there right away! Qiao Mu sobbed. Yes, yes. Auntie, Ill wait for you
Qiao Mu was focused on acting when her phone was snatched away the next second. Li Yan raised the phone to his ear and said into the phone, Mom, were fine. Qiao Mu was just joking with you. Nonsense, Mumu is crying! We were just ying. Qiao Mus almond-shaped eyes widened. Whos ying with you! When Yu Yiduo heard that, she shouted, Mumu, wait for me and hung up the phone. Li Yans cold gaze swept toward Qiao Mu, but Qiao Mu pouted and raised her chin aggressively. Ill give you onest chance. Apologize and admit your mistakes now! This woman! Didnt he just not ept her money and bend her bank card? Wasnt that all because of her! She didnt admit her mistake, but she wanted him to admit it to her! Li Yan pursed his lips and stared at Qiao Mu for a long time. His gaze was too terrifying, and Qiao Mus head shrank back bit by bit. She thought that she was not in the wrong, so she straightened her back and red back at him. Just as she thought that a certain man was going to fly into a rage, she saw him turn around and enter the bathroom. He said,Since youre so reasonable, then let your dear aunt judge for you. Qiao Mu blinked. Why was he still so confident?!
Soon, Yu Yiduo rushed over. As soon as he entered, he shouted upstairs. Wheres my unfilial son? Come out and be punished! Qiao Mus lips twitched uncontrobly. She rushed downstairs and threw herself into Yu Yiduos arms. Auntie, youre finally here! Good Mu Mu, dont be sad. Mommy is here. Yu Yiduos heart ached as she patted Qiao Mus back and consoled her. At this moment, Li Yan went downstairs. Mother, how am I unfilial? If you dont treat Mu Mu well, youre being unfilial to me! I only have one daughter-inw. Are you trying to bully her away? Do you want to be single for the rest of your life? Li Yan was speechless. Qiao Mu was speechless. As she spoke, Yu Yiduo lowered her head and looked at Qiao Mu. Mumu, what exactly happened? Tell Mommy, and Mommy will help you! He Qiao Mu was about toin, but she thought that she couldnt exin it clearly in a few words. She sorted out her thoughts and said, He doesnt respect me! Yu Yiduo seemed to have resonated with him. She pped her thigh and said, I hate men who dont respect women the most, just like his father when he was young. Just thinking about it makes me angry, but
Yu Yiduo paused and changed her tone. Mumu, young men are all like this. You should stay with him for a few more years. When you have a child, your status will be different. Just like me back then, with a child in hand, you wont be afraid of anything. So, lets just endure it for now. Qiao Mu was speechless. Was there something wrong with her ears? Didnt he say that he would make the decision for her? She looked up and saw Li Yan sitting on the sofa as if nothing had happened. He did not take the situation here seriously at all. She was burning with anger. No matter how hard she watered him, she could not extinguish the mes. Qiao Mu refused to give up. Auntie, I cant tolerate this! I have no human rights at all! Yu Yiduo could not bear to see Qiao Mu blinking her big eyes pitifully for help, so she asked with heartache, Then tell me, why didnt he respect you? Qiao Mu was about to speak when Li Yan interrupted her. Let me say it. Mom, your daughter-inw just earned her first sum of money and shes using it to pay me back. She wants to use money to cut ties with me. If I dont ept the money, itll be disrespectful to her. Tell me, does she care about anyone? Chapter 693: Carry the Cold War to the End (6) Chapter 693: Carry the Cold War to the End (6)
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu frowned when Li Yan finished speaking. What did she mean by using money to cut ties with him? Had she ever said such a thing? However, Yu Yiduo didnt give her a chance to exin herself. She immediately concluded, Mumu, youre wrong. You have to do as Li Yan said. This time, Im on his side. How can the rtionship between two people be measured by money?!
Qiao Mu was deted. The more she described, the messier she became. This was not what she wanted to express at all. She red at Li Yan fiercely and snorted in dissatisfaction. However, Li Yan asked her back, What? Am I not telling the truth? Of course not! Yu Yiduo looked at Qiao Mu and waved at Li Yan. Dont be a hindrance here. Go upstairs first. Ill have a good chat with Mumu. Li Yan was helpless. The little woman refused to talk to him properly, so he really had no choice here. After Li Yan left, Yu Yiduo poured a cup of tea for Qiao Mu. Come, have a cup of tea to calm your anger. Tell me what exactly happened. Qiao Mu told Yu Yiduo everything that happenedst night. After she finished speaking, she was worried that Yu Yiduo would misunderstand, so she added, Auntie, my original intention was not to use money to pay off the debt. I gave him the money I earned because I wanted him to keep it for me. He can give me what he has unconditionally. I also want to share mine with him. Although its only a little money, I dont want to ask him for it one-sidedly. He just thinks that I want to settle things with him. Im angry that he misunderstood me! Qiao Mus heart was filled with grievances for the entire night. Li Yan did not understand her painstaking efforts, and he was still angry at her! Yu Yiduo sighed. She couldpletely understand what Qiao Mu said. Being with a man like him was a form of pressure in itself. Once their rtionship was made public, they would have to endure a lot of discussion. For example, Li Yan was just ying around for a moment of novelty, or that she was not worthy of Li Yan Yu Yiduo had experienced this before. Many people liked to use their own thoughts to judge others. No matter how strong ones mind was, it was difficult to withstand the pressure from all sides. Yet Qiao Mu used her own method to close the distance between the two of them.
Yu Yiduo looked at the girl in front of her. She was still at the age of pure love, but she could think so well. She did not ept Li Yans feelings one-sidedly. She also wanted to give. Although her response could not be the same as Li Yans, it was all she had. Yu Yiduo patted Qiao Mus hand. Mumu, Li Yan was wrong. You were right to be angry. You should punish him properly and forbid him froming to your bed for three days, no, ten days! I guarantee that he will take the initiative to apologize to you! Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mus sadness was instantly dispelled by Yu Yiduos words. Immediately after, Yu Yiduos expression turned serious. Mumu, Auntie doesnt want to side with Li Yan, but this matter isnt entirely his fault. You gave him the money as soon as you came up. Why would he think so much with his one-track mind? Do you know why Li Yan was so angry? Its because hes the same as you. Hes uncertain about your feelings for him. Hes not sure if your feelings for him are firm, so when you give him money, its easy for him to let his imagination run wild. Qiao Mu was stunned. She had never thought of this. Yu Yiduo continued, Li Yan has been very independent since he was young. Hes very reserved. Even I, his mother, dont know whats on his mind. So, Mu Mu, you have to understand him. Chapter 694: She’s Giving in Her Own Way Chapter 694: Shes Giving in Her Own Way
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu lowered her head. How could she not know that Li Yan was sultry? He was truly sultry and sultry! Yu Yiduos words surprised her. Yu Yiduo had always given her the image of a happy little joker. She was always more like a child than she was, but what she said just now was so serious.
Not only was he serious, but he was also speaking to her heart. She had always felt that she was at a disadvantage in this rtionship with Li Yan. Compared to Li Yan, who was so high and mighty, she was really not worth mentioning. Back then, she had the Qiao family backing her up, but her identity was that of an illegitimate daughter, while he was so noble that he was like an emperor standing at the top of the world. Now that she had gotten rid of her identity as an illegitimate daughter and became an orphan, no matter how her fate changed, he was still so high and mighty. In this rtionship, she was the one who was not confident. She had never thought that Li Yan would be uncertain too. Qiao Mus heart was in a mess. She originally thought that she had ten thousand reasons to be angry, but Yu Yiduos two simple sentencespletely overturned it. Qiao Mu raised her head and met Yu Yiduos concerned gaze. She smiled. Auntie, I understand. Yu Yiduo also smiled. Youre so obedient. As expected of my good daughter-inw! Qiao Mus face reddened. She thought to herself,This mother and son pair are reallyThey havent even married yet, yet they keep calling each other daughter-inw and mother-inw. Is that really good? Then, he heard Yu Yiduo ask, Mu Mu, how much money do you have in the card you gave Li Yan? At the mention of this, Qiao Mu immediately became proud, and her eyes lit up. Ive earned 420,000 yuan and paid off 80,000 yuan of debt. Im left with 340,000 yuan!
Qiao Mu happily waited for Yu Yiduo to praise her ability, and then she heard Yu Yiduo repeat in surprise, 340,000? Yeah! Mu Mu, lets hand over the money to Li Yan. Its only 340,000? No wonder he doesnt want it. Its not even enough for me to buy two sets of clothes. Qiao Mu was speechless. What was with this tant contempt? Yu Yiduo saw that Qiao Mus face had turned red from the blow and immediately smiled. Mumu, Im just joking. Its not that I dont like how little you earn, but its true. Next time, you can earn three million and throw it to Li Yan. Lets see if he values you! Qiao Mu was speechless. Was heforting her? Why did it sound like an even worse blow? As Yu Yiduo spoke, she nced at the man upstairs. She wanted him to eavesdrop on their conversation and watch her bully his little nephew. How could he still be calm? In the end, Li Yan really did not show himself. He returned to the study and took out the bank card that had been bent from the drawer. When he thought of what the little woman had said just now, the trace of anger in his heartpletely disappeared. It was reced by joy and self-me. Last night, she happily gave him the first sum of money she had saved up, but he misunderstood her.
She wanted to give him the money for safekeeping and share everything with him. She didnt want to cut ties with him. She was using this method to get closer to him. However, he came to a conclusion without saying anything. It would be strange if this little woman wasnt angry! Li Yan straightened the bank card bit by bit. Although it was a little deformed, it should still be usable. He had always thought that he was the one who was giving in his rtionship with Qiao Mu. He was willing to give and did not expect anything in return. It was fine as long as Qiao Mu was happy. But now, he realized that his little woman was actually working hard in her own way. Chapter 695: She Wanted to Give Him Her Best Chapter 695: She Wanted to Give Him Her Best
Trantor:549690339 Her hard work was not only for her own future, but also because of him. She wanted to give him the best of herself. Li Yans grip on the bank card tightened. All this while, she had neglected the efforts of this little woman.
In this rtionship, he only knew how deep his feelings for her were, but he did not know how much she loved him. Actually, his little woman loved him more than he had imagined. Downstairs, Yu Yiduo sessfully resolved the conflict and left. Qiao Mu looked upstairs. If she went upstairs to look for him at this time, it would be embarrassing. Thinking about Yu Yiduos words, Qiao Mu reflected on herself. She was a little childish about this matter, so she didnt have a proper discussion with him. She wasnt that reasonable either. When Li Yan went downstairs, he saw that Yu Yiduo was no longer there. Qiao Mu was sprawled on the coffee table, drawing with a blueprint in her hand, looking like she was working seriously. Wheres my mother? he asked. Auntie said that she was extremely disappointed with your behavior and felt that you were hopeless, so she left. Qiao Mu said without even turning her head, her words carrying a hint of anger. You have to act more like it! Li Yan sat down beside Qiao Mu and nced at the little woman. Is she disappointed in me, or are you? Qiao Mus hand that was holding the paintbrush paused, and she turned to re at the man. What do you mean? Are you looking for trouble with me?
Li Yan sighed helplessly and pulled Qiao Mu into his arms, letting her sit on hisp. The woman in his arms struggled and struggled, but he hugged her tightly and held her firmly in his arms. Dont move. Why should I listen to you? Hearing her angry words, Li Yans tone softened a little. Mu Mu, stop fooling around. The mans voice was low and heavy, carrying a hint of seduction, causing Qiao Mu topletely forget about struggling. Qiao Mu sat on hisp in frustration and mumbled, Im not messing around. Youre messing around! Alright, Im the one making a scene. What do you mean? Its clearly him! Alright, Im the one whos causing trouble! Thats more like it! Qiao Mus mood improved a little, and she pressed on, Why are you making a scene? Li Yan was speechless.
Mu Mu, lets have a good talk. Even though Qiao Mu wasnt that angry anymore, she still felt aggrieved. She pursed her lips. Talk about what? How did you destroy my bank card and ignore my hard-earned money? I know that you have a lot of money and dont care about my small amount of money. However, this money is a huge fortune to me. I cantpare with you, Young Master Li. At this point, Qiao Mu felt more and more aggrieved. Suddenly, the man moved and handed her bank card to her. She was stunned. The originally bent card had been straightened. She bit her lip and threw the card into the trash can. Forget it. Ive already given it to you. If you dont want it, throw it away! Qiao Mu regretted it the moment she threw the bank card out. She had wanted to have a good talk with him, but when she saw the card that was returned, she got angry and lost her rationality. She thought that even if she was not angry with him, she would still take advantage of the fact that she was in the right to resist him! Li Yan frowned. Go get it! I wont! Qiao Mu! Qiao Mu saw the mans fierce look and bit her lip in grievance. Why are you so fierce? Do you think youre so great just because youre rich? Im not your pet. Why should I ept your charity? If you give it to me, I have to ept it, but I cant give it to you! Do you think this is fair?
Chapter 696: The Gap Between Them Was Too Big Chapter 696: The Gap Between Them Was Too Big
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu cried out in an aggrieved manner. Her eyes even started to moisten after she finished speaking. Li Yans eyes darkened and he said after a while, Did I say I dont want it?
Qiao Mu was stunned. Do you want it? You didnt want itst night! Taking my money is as difficult as taking your life! Ill give you the money I worked so hard to earn for safekeeping. Lets see what your attitude is like. If others want it, I wont give it to them even if they beat me to death, but you dont give me face. If you dont want to live with me, just say it. Lets break up immediately! Li Yans face darkened when he heard thest sentence. Dont talk nonsense! Youre fierce to me again! What right do you have to be fierce to me? Youre judging a gentlemans belly with your petty heart. Are you still in the right? Qiao Mu poked Li Yans chest as she spoke. Li Yans head hurt from this womans eloquence. He was here to have a good talk with her, but she was ming him. She sighed. Mumu, I was wrong about this. Be good, dont be angry. Qiao Mu was stunned when the man suddenly admitted his mistake. She looked at him. His dark eyes were bottomless, but there was a familiar gentleness in them. Initially, she wanted to take the initiative to apologize to him, but she didnt expect him to be the one to lower his head first. Actually, thinking about it, there were many times when she was unreasonable, but in the end, he was the one who coaxed her. She wasnt sure if he really felt that he was wrong, but he was willing to lower his head for her. Her nose felt a little sour. She buried her head into Li Yans embrace and choked up as she spoke, If you had been so understanding earlier, I wouldnt have been angry for the entire night! Tell me, how are you going topensate me?
How do you want topensate? Pay with your body? Qiao Mu was speechless. Who cared! Qiao Mu bit down on his firm chest through his clothes as if venting her anger. A mans muffled grunt sounded above her head, followed by a low chuckle. Little thing, you bit the spot on my chest. .. Why are you so perverted! After Qiao Mu vented her anger, she leaned against Li Yans chest, and her voice softened. Uncle, I didnt mean to make a scene with you. Youve gone too far. Yes, I went overboard. You think so too, dont you? I know that the money I earn is pitifully little to you, but you cant deny the results of my hard work. Even if I cantpare to you in my entire life, the more money I earn and the more I take, the closer the distance between us can be. The gap between us is too big. She hoped to be able to stand by his side with dignity. Mu Mu, Im angry because I dont want you to differentiate between us. Theres no difference between us. If theres a difference, its only the difference in age. I should be the one feeling threatened. These words were really pleasant to hear. Qiao Mu nodded. Yes, I think theres indeed a huge age gap between us.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes. So? But I dont care! Seeing that the man was unhappy, Qiao Mu immediately expressed her thoughts. All the differences between us are not a problem, be it status or age, but you cant stop me from narrowing the gap, can you? Uncle, if I was a person who only knew how to squander, you wouldnt like me either, right? I like it when you squander. As long as it was her, he would like her no matter what. If you say you like it now, you wont say that when I really squander all your money. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Li Yan chuckled. If you can really squander all my money, then thats your ability. Humph! So what if he was rich! Chapter 697: The Settlement After the Cold War Chapter 697: The Settlement After the Cold War
Trantor:549690339 Li Yan patted Qiao Mus butt. Go pick up the card. At this moment, Qiao Mu eagerly went to rummage through the trash can before handing the card to Li Yan.
Do you think that the amount of money in this card is pitifully little? she asked in embarrassment. No, its already very impressive for my woman to earn so much. But auntie dislikes me for not earning enough. Thats because she hasnt earned so much money before. Shes jealous of you. Li Yans words made Qiao Mu smile. So thats how it is. Come to think of it, it makes sense. Auntie must be jealous of me! Li Yans lips curled up. Then Ill keep this card for you. I can use it however I want. Qiao Mu nodded without any objection. How could he use this little money? Qiao Mu suddenly remembered that Xu Xiyan had asked her boyfriend how strong hispany was in the country during the ss reunion. She knew nothing about his assets, so she became curious. Uncle, I told the public that yourpany is ranked among the top 300 in the country. How much is it actually? Remove thest two zeros. Although Li Yans answer was very subtle, and this result was also within Qiao Mus expectations, she could not help but be shocked. The Li Corporations businesses were spread all over the country and abroad. It was not only the top three in the country, but it was also estimated to be among the top three in the world. Her boyfriend was so powerful that it was both pressure and motivation for her.
After thismotion, Qiao Mu felt that her rtionship with Li Yan had gotten closer. Thinking of the theme of the finals, Qiao Mu raised her head in Li Yans arms. Uncle, what do you think true love is? Love is to make you unable to get out of bed. Qiao Mu was speechless. Can you be more serious? Im just being serious. Li Yan looked at the little things disappointed face and the corners of his mouth curled up. Before he had her, mentioning the word love to him would make him feel sour. But now, to him, love was the feeling when he was with her. He wanted to bring her by his side every moment and never feel tired of it. However, when he said that, this little fellow would definitely fly into the sky in joy. Seeing that Li Yan wasnt cooperating, Qiao Mu didnt ask further. She jumped off hisp and focused on the design concept. Love included many things. It could be between parents and children, siblings, or even the feelings between lovers. For example, between her and Li Yan, even if they were fighting, it did not affect their rtionship at all because their love for each other was real.
Because she had just experienced a ruckus, Qiao Mu quickly began toe up with ideas. The first round of the finals was to design two sets of clothes. The second round was to randomly design a set of clothes. Each set of clothes could be randomly matched andbined. In other words, a set of clothes could be designed into a set of mens and womens clothes. With the design concept in mind, Qiao Mu began to draw a simple sketch of the bride and grooms wedding dress. How could true love not have a wedding? As Qiao Mu drew, she asked the man beside her, Uncle, do you think my idea fits the theme? Yes, not bad. Only with a wedding can we do what we love legally. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at him. You still have the cheek to say that? Do you know that you do illegal things every day? Li Yan curled his lips. So, youre indirectly proposing to me? Qiao Mu was speechless. Beg your sister! Qiao Mu snorted and ignored him, concentrating on her work.
After that, Qiao Mu focused all her energy on the finals. Li Yan was busy with work and could not apany her at home every day. Fortunately, he was not at home, or else she would not be able to concentrate on her drawing. Chapter 698: Uncle, I Can Support You Chapter 698: Uncle, I Can Support You
Trantor:549690339 In Li Yans office, Lei Yi was about to leave after reporting his work when Li Yan took out a card from his pocket and handed it over. Go and withdraw the money from this card. Buy two stocks and save it after increasing it tenfold.
Lei Yi was a little puzzled. Li Yan had an ount that specialized in trading stocks, so he would never take out extra money to buy stocks. Although Lei Yi did not know Young Master Lis intentions, he still did as he was told. However, when Lei Yi took out the money, he was shocked to find that there was only 340,000 yuan in the card. When he saw the owner of the bank, he understood that Young Master Li was making money for his wife. Lei Yi professionally bought two stocks that would definitely make a profit. Although he was very confident, he was still very careful. If he lost the money of Young Master Lis family, he estimated that he would have to pay back ten times the amount from his own pocket. At the Li familys vi. Qiao Mu had just finished her lunch and was about to continue drawing. Her phone rang. At this time, Li Yan must havee to ask if she had eaten on time. However, when she picked up her phone, she saw a notification from her bank card. The money in her card had been withdrawn. Qiao Mus first reaction was that Li Yan had lost her card, the password had been cracked by a hacker, and her money had been stolen! Because Li Yan would never use her money! She immediately called Li Yan and asked anxiously, Uncle, did you take my money away or was it stolen?
Li Yan was helpless. I was the one who took it. Didnt you say that I could use your money as I pleased? You can use it, but what did you do with it? Could it be that yourpanys funds have not been running well recently and you want to use my money to help? Qiao Mu let her imagination run wild. Dont worry, your manspany has sufficient funds. Ive invested your money. Ill return the money in two days. Li Yan exined. Although Qiao Mu did not understand, she did not ask further. She thought that perhaps Li Yan was really short of money and was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he used such an excuse to reply to her. However, he was so short of money. Could it be that he was going bankrupt? Pah! Qiao Mu forcefully pped her mouth. When Li Yan returned home at night, Qiao Mu eagerly made him sit on the sofa and massaged his shoulders and temples. Uncle, dont tire yourself out. Thepany will definitely get better. Li Yan was baffled by the little womans series of actions. When he heard herforting words, he immediately understood. This girl really thought that hispany was in danger! Enjoying being served, Li Yan did not exin anything. At night, Qiao Mu suddenly remembered that Key had asked her to send the original drafts of her works to his email. She hurriedly went to the study room and turned on Li Yansputer.
Qiao Mu opened the mail, and Li Yan reminded her from the door, Time to sleep. Qiao Mu responded while she quickly clicked send and sent the draft. When she sent it out, she realized that she had sent it wrongly. She had sent the final draft over. This was her work for the finals. Before she could finish it, it had been leaked! Qiao Mu frantically sent another email and exined everything before returning to her bedroom under Li Yans urging. After Qiao Mu entered the house, she wanted to me Li Yan for urging her to make a mistake, but when she thought about how hispany was not in a good state, she considerately did not add to his troubles. Once they were on the bed, Qiao Mu took the initiative to hug Li Yan. Uncle, all difficulties will pass. Even if you be a pauper, I wont mind. I can support you. Li Yan was speechless. This little thing was really considerate! But was there anyone who would curse her man to be a pauper? Chapter 699: Ning Tongtong’s Plan Chapter 699: Ning Tongtongs n
Trantor:549690339 Li Yan flipped over and pinned Qiao Mu down. Whether you despise me or not, then prove it with your actions. Qiao Mu was speechless.
The next morning, Key Studio. Amy cleaned Keys office as usual. Key wasing to thepany soon, so she turned on theputer first. As she was tidying up her keyboard, a notification popped up on herputer desktop. There was an unread email. Initially, Amy did not pay much attention to it, but when she saw that the sender was Qiao Mu, she clicked on it out of the blue. Then, he saw two emails. The first email was a draft of two sets of clothes for a man and a woman, one suit and one wedding dress. The second email was an original copy of the work, with a line of exnation: Mr. Key, I sent the wrong draft. That was the draft I prepared for the finals. Please delete it after you read it. Dont leak it to the public. Thank you. Amy furrowed her brows, and a chill instantly rose in her heart. Could Qiao Mu be deliberately using this method to leak her work to Key so that Key could give her pointers? She sounded so innocent, but it was not convincing at all. How could she send the wrong email? Furthermore, he had released such a confidential draft for the finals! It seemed that this Qiao Mu was really as scheming as Ning Tongtong had said! Amy stared at the email for a long time, saved the original copy of the work that Key wanted, and then deleted the two emails.
At this moment, Key walked in. Amy stood up nonchntly and said, Key, I identally opened your email just now and saw that Qiao Mu had sent the original manuscript of the work you wanted, so I saved it for you. Key nodded without saying anything. At the Ning residence, Ning Tongtong came downstairs early in the morning. When Shu Xinyu saw her, she smiled and asked,Tongtong, you woke up so early today. The finals are getting shorter and shorter. Is there any progress on your work? Ning Tongtong smiled. Mom, dont worry. Ill finish it on time. Thats good. I believe in your ability. As for the other things, Ill think of a way to help you solve them. Shu Xinyu consoled. Ning Tongtong thanked her with a smile. She had long since lost all hope for Shu Xinyu. Shu Xinyu had targeted Qiao Mu because she could not stand Qiao Mu copying her works. Even if she stood up for her, she would not do anything overboard. However, if she did not act ruthlessly, she would not be able to topple Qiao Mu. If Qiao Mu did not fall, she would be the unlucky one! Seeing that thepetition was half a month away, he could only think of a way himself! If she didnt do anything, she would losepletely on the day of thepetition. She might as well fight for it as soon as possible! As Ning Tongtong was thinking, she heard Shu Xinyus voice.Ah Jian, breakfast is ready in the kitchen. Good morning, Aunt Shu. I wont be eating breakfast. Ill go to the office first. The person who came downstairs was Ning Jian, Ning Tongtongs brother.
When Ning Tongtong saw Ning Jian, she immediately went up to him. Brother, can you give me a ride to thepany? I happen to have something to talk to you about. Ning Tongtong greeted Shu Xinyu and left with Ning Jian. After they got into the car, Ning Tongtong scolded, Brother, can you be a little more friendly to Mommy? Youre still so cold. Shes not our mother. Shes already very polite to our stepmother. When Shu Xinyu married into the Ning family, Ning Jian was already nine years old, so he did not approve of this stepmother like Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong didnt say anything else and went straight to the point. Brother, I want to ask you for a favor. What favor? Ning Jian nced at Ning Tongtong. From the looks of it, it doesnt seem like a good thing. No! Its just a small favor. I want to mess with someone. Help me find a professional in the photo design industry and photoshop a few pictures for me. Chapter 700: Overwhelming Negative News Chapter 700: Overwhelming Negative News
Trantor:549690339 Ning Jian looked at Ning Tongtong. Who do you want to mess with this time? Brother, what do you think I am? Its not me whos messing with others, its others whos messing with me! You also know that a contestant is suspected of giarizing my work. Thepetition is about to start. You cant watch your sister be bullied by others, right?
Alright, what do you want me to do? Ning Tongtong smiled. Its very simple. As long as Qiao Mu buried herself in her work for the next few days. When she was resting, she would use her phone to surf the Inte. Then, she saw a piece of news- Li Yan and his fiance attend a banquet! Qiao Mus first reaction was that she had been exposed? However, when she looked at the picture, she realized that the so-called fiance of Li Yan was Ji Lan! The photo was of Ji Lan sitting beside Li Yan. The two of them were framed in the same frame. Ji Lan turned her head and smiled at Li Yan as she said something. Li Yan then handed over the prawn he was peeling and the way Li Yan looked at the person beside him was gentle and affectionate. The caption on the photo was: Li Yan and his fiance Ji Lan attended a banquet and personally peeled prawns for his fiance. The two of them were so envious of each other. Qiao Mu was so angry that she threw her phone to the side. Li Yans actions were all directed at her, but the screenshots had forcefully made it sound like he was targeting Ji Lan. If the previous scandal was not confirmed, this time, it was basically telling everyone that Li Yan and Ji Lan were rted. If there was no rtionship, why would the two of them sit together and eat? Her phone rang. It was Chi Xia. After picking up the call, she heard Chi Xias angry voice, Mumu, theyre too much. How can they write nonsense and distort the truth? You must not take it seriously. Dont affect your mood bar.
Qiao Mu burst intoughter. This isnt the first time Li Yan has been involved in such a scandal. Its fine as long as I know its fake. I wont mind. Chi Xia was stunned. Im not talking about Li Yans scandal. Its your own scandal. Dont you know? Quickly take a look at Weibo. Qiao Mu hung up the phone in confusion. What did it have to do with her? She logged into Weibo and scrolled through the trending searches. Then, she saw her name. When he saw the content, his face darkened. A newly registered ount posted a message:The contestants of the fashion designpetition are so close to the judges. The other contestants must be under a lot of pressure, right? Below the text was a series of photos of her and Key entering and leaving the hotel together. It was a photo of them staying in the same hotel in A City and eating at the hotel restaurant together. There were many people with them at that time, but the photo had been photoshopped, leaving only the two of them. Moreover, they looked very close to each other. Qiao Mu tried to recall. Back then, in order to be on guard against Chen Ou, she had always been close to Leo. As for Amy, who was standing beside Key, she had never approached Key at all. So where did these intimate photose from? This Weibo post took half an hour to post and was quickly forwarded like crazy. Among them, Chen Ous verified Weibo also responded to this matter. He posted a message on his own Weibo: Key kicked me out of Key Studio for Qiao Mu, and even ruined my ten years of reputation in this industry. Im just waiting for Qiao Mu to win the championship in the finals! Chen Ous words had practically verified the authenticity of this matter. Very soon, all the industry insiders who were unaware of the situation reposted the Weibo post, and all sorts of nastyments flooded Qiao Mus Weibo.
Compared to the scandal between Li Yan and Ji Lan, the scandal between Key and Qiao Mu was even more intense. Everyone was boycotting Qiao Mus backdoor connections and shouting for Qiao Mu to withdraw from thepetition so that Key could still maintain fairness in thepetition. Chapter 701: You Should Withdraw From the Competition Chapter 701: You Should Withdraw From the Competition
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu could no longer bear to watch those maliciousments. The previous Weibo incident definitely had something to do with Ning Tongtong. Who was targeting her this time?
Qiao Mu carefully thought about it. She seemed to have offended too many people. There were too many people who disliked her in a singlepetition. She rubbed her temples and called Key, but the other partys line was busy. Key must be more anxious than she was at this time. Qiao Mu had just hung up when her phone rang. It was an unknown number. She picked it up and heard the voice of the KEY.Qiao Mu, its me. Did you see the news on Weibo? Teacher Key, I just saw it. How are you going to handle this? Qiao Mu wasnt sure how Key would deal with this matter. In just half an hour, the matter had blown up so much, so one could imagine how big the impact was. What if Key decided to disqualify her in order to appease everyone? Qiao Mu was a little nervous, and then she received a Keys voice on the phone. How do you think Ill handle this? Qiao Mu was stunned and bit her lip. Teacher Key, you were the one who decided to let me enter thepetition. If you didnt give me this chance, I would have been eliminated in the semi-finals a long time ago. If you want me to withdraw from thepetition now, I have noints! It would be strange if there wasnt! Although Qiao Mu said so, she was very unconvinced in her heart. She had relied on her own results for every step, and Ning Tongtong was the one who had giarized, but in the end, she had to withdraw from thepetition without knowing why! If she was really not as good as him, she would have nothing to say. However, how could she be willing to withdraw from thepetition in such a way?!
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, a voice came through.Qiao Mu, I thought you could at least fight for it. Qiao Mu was at a loss. I just didnt want to cause you trouble. I was the one who started this matter from the very beginning. Alright, then you can withdraw from thepetition. Keys words instantly made Qiao Mus heart sink. Key spoke again, After you quit thepetition, your reputation in the industry will bepletely ruined. Even if you graduate from university, nopany will hire you as a fashion designer. Forget about being a sessful designer, your path in this industry will bepletely cut off. The only thing you can do is to change careers or be the young mistress of a rich family, but the prerequisite is that you can marry into the Li family. Qiao Mus grip on her phone tightened. Keys tone was filled with sarcasm, mocking her for being so nonchnt about this match because she was going to marry into a wealthy family in the future. However, this was what she cared about the most. She did not want to be a youngdy of a wealthy family who had aplished nothing. Key was right. If she withdrew from thepetition now, it would prove what others had said. They would admit that she had received special treatment in thepetition because of Key. If she did that, not only would her future be affected, but Keys image would also be affected. Qiao Mu took a deep breath, and her tone became firm. Key teacher, please give me a chance. Im not willing to withdraw from thepetition without a clear reason! How could she ept this! Ning Tongtong, who had giarized her work, was still in the finals. She had to rely on her own strength to defeat Ning Tongtong on the runway! She had to prove to everyone that she relied on her hard work and ability to get everyones recognition through her results!
She couldnt give up just like that. She wanted to gain a firm foothold in this industry and walk higher and further so that she could be worthy of Li Yan! Chapter 702: Qiao Mu in Danger Chapter 702: Qiao Mu in Danger
Trantor:549690339 Keys stern tone softened a little when he heard Qiao Mus words. Thats exactly what I want to hear. Qiao Mu, Ill handle this matter. You dont need to give any response on your own. Dont think too much about it and focus on thepetition. I got it, Teacher Key. Thank you.
Qiao Mu was extremely grateful. She had indeed relied on her rtionship with Key to achieve her current achievements. Without Keys help, she would not have been able to enter the finals. Without Keys recognition, her works would not have been included in the Key brand. Someone was targeting her, but at the same time, someone was helping her! In Keys office. Amy listened to Key and Qiao Mus conversation, and her expression was not too good. After Key hung up, she immediately said, Key, things have already developed to this point, yet you still want to help Qiao Mu? If you continue to help her, you will only confirm those rumors! If we do as they say, then well be guilty. Key disagreed. But its the truth that youve always been helping Qiao Mu! In her desperation, Amys tone became a little heavier and a little agitated. Key raised his head and looked at Amy. You should know what the truth is. Im not helping her. Im pulling this matter back onto the right track. Qiao Mu should have entered the finals, but do you want me to watch as she was unfairly treated by Shu Xinyu? Amy felt as if her heart was tied in a knot when she saw how Key was protecting Qiao Mu. She could not untie it no matter what, and it made her feel extremely ufortable. After calming herself down, Amy said,Then how are you going to deal with this matter? Chen Ou is involved in this matter. Its very difficult to calm down. First, find out who is behind this. Amy thought for a moment and said, Today, Li Yan and Ji Lans rtionship was exposed. These two incidents seemed to have been discussed beforehand and were posted on Weibo one after the other. Could it be that Ji Lan found out about Li Yan and Qiao Mus rtionship, so he used this method to warn Qiao Mu?
Key raised his eyebrows. What does this have to do with Ji Lan? Shes Li Yans fiance! Youre sure that Ji Lan is Li Yans fiance just because of two scandals? Did Li Yan admit it personally? You actually believe these false rumors? There have been more than one or two rumors between us. Could it be that theres really something between us? Keys words made Amys face sh with embarrassment. He actually used their rtionship as an analogy! Key didnt wait for Amy to say anything and said calmly, The press conference will be held in two days. Is it necessary to do this for a contestant? Amy, you should understand that I have my principles in this industry. Amy wanted to say something, but in the end, she didnt say it. He was actually willing to go to this extent just to help Qiao Mu! At the same time, at LSAE. Li Yan came out of the meeting room and went back to his office while instructing Lei Yi on the following arrangements. He looked up and saw Lei Yis hesitant expression. He raised his eyebrows. If you have something to say, just say it.
President, you and Miss Qiao have a scandal. Yes, Lei Yi added. They were involved in scandals with different people. Miss Qiaos current situation isnt too good. Li Yans eyes darkened as he strode into the office. He turned on hisputer and searched for information about Qiao Mu. Lei Yi spoke up immediately. Ive already dealt with the news about you. Those false news will disappear soon. As for Miss Qiao, even if we delete all the news, it wont stop the impact on Miss Qiaos image. Li Yan stared at theputer screen for a long time. His expression darkened when he saw thements that were attacking Qiao Mu. Chapter 703: Revealing Your Man’s Identity Chapter 703: Revealing Your Mans Identity
Trantor:549690339 Li Yan leaned back in his seat and tapped his long fingers on the table. After a while, he said, Have you checked the IP address of the person who leaked the news? Lei Yi replied, Ive checked. The other party is very thoughtful. They posted it in an inte cafe. Those photos have been professionally edited. There are almost no traces of editing. It seems that the other party has put in a lot of effort.
Li Yans eyes darkened. He nced at his phone. The little woman did not call him. Her hard work had been ruined by others. She should be feeling sad alone at this moment. At the thought of this, Li Yan stood up and walked out with his coat. Push todays work to tomorrow. After saying that, he disappeared from the office. After Qiao Mu ended the call with Key, she continued to draw. It was useless for her to be anxious. As long as she could get results in the finals, everything would fall apart. Suddenly, she heard some noise outside the door. She looked up and saw Li Yan entering the house. Qiao Mu was stunned. Uncle, why are you back at this time? Qiao Mu saw Li Yans grave expression after she finished speaking, and she immediately guessed that Li Yan had seen the scandal. With this mans appearance, could it be that he was petty and came back to settle scores with her? Qiao Mu immediately put down the paintbrush in her hand and rushed to Li Yan. Uncle, youre not allowed to be jealous. Were even today. Li Yan lowered his gaze and looked at Qiao Mu. Did this little thing think that he had returned to denounce her? Li Yan followed her intention and looked at her calmly. So, whats going on?
Its a misunderstanding. I wonder whos targeting me again. Li Yan changed his shoes and led Qiao Mu to the sofa to sit down. Have you thought about how to deal with this? Qiao Mu shook her head. Leave thepetition to Teacher Key. As a yer, the finals are the most important. If I dont perform well in the finals, then those who are targeting me will have something to use against me. Li Yan looked at the girl in front of him who was in high spirits and suddenly realized that his worries were unnecessary. His little woman was bing stronger and stronger. No, she had always been strong. It was just that when she was with him, he had always protected her in his hands and did not want her to be hurt. In fact, she had never been a flower in a greenhouse. Ive thought of the best way to solve this problem, Li Yan said after some thought. What? Qiao Mu tilted her head and looked at him. That is to reveal your mans identity. That way, wont the scandal between you and Key fall apart? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. This method wont work. Why? Do you want to keep a scandal with your idol? Are you happy to have a scandal with your idol?
The mans tone was sour, and Qiao Mu couldnt help but want tough. What nonsense are you spouting? If our rtionship is exposed, the situation will be even more serious than it is now. Youre the sponsor of the finals, and Ill really have to rely on my connections to climb up. Li Yan snorted coldly. In that case, your man can forget about seeing everyone in this lifetime. Qiao Mu clung onto Li Yans arm coquettishly. Uncle, were being together openly and openly. Were not hiding anything on purpose. Everyone around me knows about our rtionship. What else are you unhappy about? Li Yan was still unhappy. At this moment, Li Yans phone rang. He picked up the call and Lu Jingzhis voice sounded, Big Brother, Second Brother is back today. Should we give him a wee? [If you guys want to see Su Chen and Chi Xia, add a segment.] Chapter 704: Heaven’s Will or Man-made Chapter 704: Heavens Will or Man-made
Trantor:549690339 Li Yan leaned back on the sofa with one arm around Qiao Mus shoulder. He casually yed with her hair and replied, Why is he back so soon? Are you done? Yeah, ording to the reports from the people there, Second Brother worked very hard after he went there. He didnt stop working day and night. He solved a months work in half a month. If he was always so efficient, we wouldnt have to work so hard. Lu Jingzhi said.
Do you want to go out for a meal tonight to rx? Li Yan asked softly as he looked at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu thought about it and nodded. She had been cooped up at home for the entire day, so it was good to go out for a meal. However Uncle, Im not going with you guys. Im going to have dinner with Chi Xia and Baby Guan alone. I wont be joining you guys. Since Qiao Mu had an appointment tonight, Li Yan agreed to Lu Jingzhis request. Night fell. Qiao Mu asked Baby Guan and Chi Xia out for hotpot. Coincidentally, Li Yan and the others were also here for hotpot. When Ling Xi walked past their table, he sighed, Tsk tsk, what a coincidence. I wonder if its heavens will or man-made? Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan, who was walking over from behind her. Li Yan sat down beside Qiao Mu in an open manner. Since weve met, lets eat together. Qiao Mu was speechless. This man! Chi Xia had a bad feeling when she saw Li Yan and the others. Then, she saw Su Chen walking over from behind.
She looked at the man. They hadnt seen each other for half a month and hadnt contacted each other at all. Ever since she ran awayst time, they had be strangers. Chi Xias hand that was holding her chopsticks was in a daze. She lowered her head and averted her gaze as if nothing had happened. Qiao Mu noticed that something was off with Chi Xia. She looked up and saw Su Chen walking over. Su Chens expression did not change when he saw Chi Xia. He merely nced at her briefly before moving away. Then, Su Chen nced at Lu Jingzhi. You said that you were going to give me a wee dinner, so youre here to eat hotpot? Lu Jingzhi did not think much of it and directly pushed the me to Li Yan. Eldest Brother likes to eat, so just make do with it. With Qiao Mu here, Li Yan would not have any objections even if she went to eat at a roadside stall. Lu Jingzhi immediately asked the waiter to set up a table for seven people. Li Yan sat beside Qiao Mu, and Lu Jingzhi was naturally guarding Baby Guan, even though Baby Guan looked disgusted. Ling Xi sat between Lu Jingzhi and Li Yan, and thest seat was between Qiao Mu and Chi Xia. Su Chen walked over and sat down. Chi Xia, who was beside him, subconsciously moved her chair closer to Baby Guans seat. This action made Su Chens face darken.
This woman really didnt want to see her! He was chatting andughing with Qiao Mu and the others earlier, but when he saw him, his face immediately turned sour! Qiao Mu looked at the two of them without even making eye contact. They were so unfamiliar that it was as if she didnt know them at all. Ling Xi suddenly suggested, Lets eat hotpot and drink beer? Who wants to drink? After Ling Xi finished speaking, he started to worry about the other three men. He was the only one who was left alone. If no one gave him face and let him drink alone, he would really be too lonely. However, what he received in response was absolute silence. Ling Xi suddenly felt bad. Did she have to treat him like this?! Suddenly, a voice sounded, Ill drink. In the next second, everyones gaze shifted to Chi Xia. Chi Xia repeated, Young Master Ling, Ill drink with you.
Chapter 705: Don’t vomit all over me again Chapter 705: Dont vomit all over me again
Trantor:549690339 Su Chen looked at Chi Xia coldly, but Chi Xia didnt look at him. She reached out and took the beer from Ling Xi. Qiao Mu sensed that the atmosphere was not too good, so she looked at Li Yan. Why dont I drink a little too?
Li Yan red at her. Youre quite bold. Have you forgotten how you went crazy after getting drunk? Arent you here! Li Yan raised his eyebrows and lowered his head to approach Qiao Mu. He whispered into her ear, So, you want to drink and go home tonight to perform well? Qiao Mus face reddened. Um, I think Ill pass. Qiao Mu then looked at Chi Xia. Xiaxia, drink less. Chi Xia smiled. Its okay, I wont get drunk. Finally, someone was drinking with Ling Xi. Ling Xi was extremely grateful to Chi Xia. He poured a ss of wine and clinked it with Chi Xias. Then, he was met with Su Chens cold re. He was so innocent. Chi Xia was the one who offered to drink with him! Chi Xia raised her ss and clinked it with Ling Xis. Then, she raised her head and downed the beer in her ss in one gulp. Her actions were very bold and unrestrained. Chi Xias nerves were a little tense because Su Chen was sitting beside her. However, after two sses of wine, she gradually rxed. She raised her hand to pick up the food in the pot, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldnt get it out. At this moment, a slender arm reached over and picked up a few pieces of meat and vegetables, cing them into her bowl. Chi Xia tightened her grip on her chopsticks as she stared at the food in her bowl. After a while, she lowered her head and started eating without a word.
She could not taste the food in her mouth at all. She chewed a few times and swallowed. When she went to get more food, there was a prawn in her bowl. Chi Xia finally lifted her head to look at Su Chen, only to see the man acting as if nothing had happened. It was as if he had not picked these things up for her! What right did this man have to treat her however he wanted?! Thest time, he was the one who asked her to get lost. The two of them had said some harsh words to each other and finally, they didnt owe each other anything. What was this?! Chi Xia was frustrated. She picked up her ss and drank silently, pouring another ss after she finished it. Su Chen looked at the woman beside him and frowned. Finally, when Chi Xia raised her ss again, he held her hand with a dark face. Chi Xia, are you going to get drunk? Chi Xia flung his hand away. What does it have to do with you? Im worried that youll vomit on me again if you sit next to me. Dont worry, I wont. Even if I want to vomit, Ill only vomit after I look after her! As Chi Xia spoke, she raised the ss to her lips, but before she could drink it, Su Chen snatched it away.
Dont drink anymore! Su Chens tone sounded like an order, making Chi Xia feel ufortable. However, with so many people watching, she endured it and did not argue with Su Chen. Qiao Mu felt anxious for the two of them when she saw that they didnt want to talk things out properly and were being awkward. Li Yan saw that the little woman beside him had all her thoughts on others and did not even eat properly. He helplessly picked up some food for her and reminded her,Hurry up and eat your food. Dont mind other peoples business. Oh, Qiao Mu replied, thinking that Chi Xia and Su Chen werent just anyone else. Chi Xia was her best friend, and Su Chen was her best friend. However, even if she wanted to interfere, she couldnt do anything about it! After the meal, Chi Xia did not drink much, but her face was a little red. She had called for a taxi beforehand, and as soon as the meal ended, she ignored Qiao Mus attempts to stop her and got into the taxi to leave. Qiao Mu was still worried, so she was led into the car by Qieli Yan. Theres someone more attentive than you. Lets go home. Chapter 706: If She Had Meant Him First Chapter 706: If She Had Meant Him First
Trantor:549690339 Chi Xia sat in the car and felt dizzy. Su Chen had stopped her from drinking, so she only drank a few sses. Her alcohol tolerance was not that high, but she still felt a little tipsy. Chi Xias heart buzzed when she thought of this man.
The music Just Once was ying in the car. Chi Xias heart tightened as she listened to the mans gentle voice singing the emotional lyrics. Just once, Ill take you to see the end of the world The world is still small, Ill apany you to the ends of the earth Do you know that all my heart beats with you On her 17th birthday, Gu Cheng had sung this song for her. Chi Xia still remembered that Gu Cheng had sung every single word while looking at her affectionately. She felt that the lyrics were well written because she felt the same way. Her heart was beating with Gu Chengs. At that time, she really thought that Gu Cheng was her whole world. Even after Gu Cheng went abroad, she was very determined that she and Gu Cheng would not be destroyed by time. However, time was not a problem. They were blown away by reality. Chi Xia took a deep breath. She thought that she had let go of it a long time ago. When others mentioned Gu Cheng, she could be indifferent. When Gu Cheng begged her for peace, she responded coldly. However, how could she forget those real feelings just like that?
Every little thing reminded her of her first love, which ended early. At this moment, his phone received a message.Xiaxia, good night. Chi Xia stared at the phone screen as her vision gradually blurred. Miss, were here, said the driver in front. Chi Xia paid the money in a hurry and got out of the car. Her phone rang. Chi Xia saw the caller ID and saw that it was an international call. She hung up the call immediately and the phone rang again. She couldnt take it anymore and picked up the phone.Gu Cheng, what are you doing? There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, he said,Xiaxia, I just wanted to hear your voice. Chi Xia stopped in her tracks and said coldly, Gu Cheng, I thought I made it very clear that youve already let go. What do you mean by this? Were both adults. Can we not continue this? Xiaxia, are you happy now?
Chi Xia was a little impatient. Does my happiness have anything to do with you? Xiaxia, I know Ive done something that you cant forgive, but I hope youll be happy. Hearing Gu Chengs words, Chi Xia felt suffocated and hung up the phone. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, Chi Xia was in a daze. She thought about the past and squatted down bit by bit, shuttling through her body to suppress the pain in her heart. This was thest time she would be sad for Gu Cheng and say goodbye to her first love! Chi Xia didnt notice that a ck car was tailing the taxi from not far away. In the car, Su Chen looked at the lonely figure under the streetlights. His gaze was deep and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. This woman was sad by the roadside again. He thought that she was sad because of him this time, but when she picked up the phone and heard her call Gu Chengs name, his heart turned colder. She still couldnt forget that man! Was the man who had betrayed her so unforgettable?
If she met him first, would she fall in love with him like she did with that man? Thinking of this, Su Chenughed at himself. He was really sick to have such thoughts! Chapter 707: She and He Were Fated (1) Chapter 707: She and He Were Fated (1)
Trantor:549690339 Su Chen stared at Chi Xia for a long time in the car. The woman paused for a while before she stood up and entered the dormitory building. From the beginning to the end, that woman only left him with her back view. Perhaps she would turn around and notice him.
Su Chen only retracted his gaze when the slender figure disappeared. He took out a cigarette from the savings cab, put it to his mouth, lit it, and smoked. He had been on a business trip for half a month and wanted to calm himself down. However, the moment he saw her, everything was in a mess. In the next two days, the club that Chi Xia was in held a contest. In order to encourage the outstandingw students in the school to perform even better, the school invited a few famousw representatives to watch thepetition. After the event began, the students in the school took their seats. The members who participated in thepetition sat in the first row, while the four seats in the middle of the second row were reserved for thew representatives. I wonder who the representatives invited by the school will be? Could it be a senior who has already graduated from thew department? If it really is a senior, then he would have been motivated when he was on stage. It could also be Senior Sister. The one who spoke was a boy. Give up. Theres a 99% chance that its a professor. When has the school ever invited young people to such an event? As the few of them were discussing, they heard someone shout,Hes here! Everyone looked at the entrance and saw two middle-aged men. Just as their expectations were dashed, they saw a young woman enter from behind. She should be a senior from thew department. The boys instantly became excited.
The girl beside Chi Xia shouted in disappointment, The school is too biased. Satisfying the injustice of those men, cant they satisfy us women too! Chi Xia could not help butugh. Xiaoxiao, this is apetition, not a performance As she was speaking, Chi Xia saw a hint of surprise on the other partys face. At the same time, a female scream came from behind her, and the entire hall was in an uproar. Sun Xiaoxiao patted Chi Xias leg hard. Xiaxia, Iming! What is it Chi Xia curiously turned to look at the entrance and saw a tall figure walking towards them. The man was wearing a casual suit. He had one hand in his pants pocket, and his slender legs took steady steps. Amidst the apuse and screams, he didnt panic at all and walked to the center of the hall as if no one was around. Chi Xias grip on the folder tightened. She could no longer hear the lecturers introduction of thew representatives identity. She could only hear the two words Su Chen ringing in her ears. She watched as the man walked to her side and sat down in the empty seat beside her. It was only now that Chi Xia realized that the more she didnt want to see someone, the more she could meet them all the time. It could be considered fate. Evil fate!
Chi Xia lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the folder in her hand. She did not even nce at the man beside her. Sun Xiaoxiao was so excited that she kept mumbling in Chi Xias ear, Hes Su Chen! I didnt see him in person during the anniversary speech, but I didnt expect to see him here! Oh my god, hes so handsome up close! As Sun Xiaoxiao spoke, she noticed that Chi Xia had lowered her head and remained silent. She smiled and said, Xiaxia, dont be shy. Its okay to look at him. Youre so close to him. Im so jealous. Chi Xia was still worried about this. When she heard the other partys words, she suggested, Why dont we switch ces? Chapter 708: She and He Are Fated to Be Together (2) Chapter 708: She and He Are Fated to Be Together (2)
Trantor:549690339 Alright, alright! Sun Xiaoxiao was about to nod excitedly when she met a cold gaze. The gaze swept over her like a sword, making her shudder. She immediately shook her head and said, Forget it, Ill just sit here. Distance makes beauty! Su Chen turned his head to look at the person on his left. Everyones attention was on him. Only she lowered her head and did not look at him. She wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.
Suddenly, a voice came from his right. President Su, Im Tang Li. Nice to meet you. Su Chen turned his head to look at the woman who spoke. He did not stop and coldly looked away. The other party smiled awkwardly and continued to find a topic. President Su, Im a graduate of T Universitysw department. Are you our senior? After Tang Li finished speaking, Sun Xiaoxiao also asked softly, Su Chen isnt from our school. Why would he be a judge as aw representative? Chi Xia replied softly, Maybe thepany is about to close down, so he came out to earn some extra money. Xiaxia, keep your voice down. If President Su hears you, youll be in trouble! Chi Xia did not think much of it. She was already whispering enough. Then, a mans voice sounded in her ear.I studied for a masters degree inw overseas. Chi Xia was taken aback by his words. This man should have majored in finance and his industry was mainly rted to finance. She did not expect him to have a minor inw! She had thought that he was only here to put on an act, but in fact, he had real talent. Actually, it made sense when he thought about it. How could a person of his status have the same academic qualifications as an ordinary person?
She and he were people from two different worlds. Thepetition began. The contestants blindly chose the title, and after choosing the title, they began to argue. As Chi Xia listened to the contest, her hand moved and identally touched the mans hand. She was shocked and immediately pulled her hand back. However, before she could do so, someone suddenly grabbed her. She turned her head and met Su Chens gaze. What are you doing? You touched me first. Let go! Chi Xias face flushed red. There were so many people around, yet he dared to touch her so brazenly! You want me to release it, and I will? Su Chen, dont tease me! This man had always been like this, doing whatever he wanted. He was so domineering that she could not reject him. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Seeing her angry and anxious look, he only let go after a while. Did she think he was teasing her? He was really bored to death. In order to tease her, he had left a lot of work in hispany to attend this boring event!
Even he felt that his brain was going crazy. Chi Xia quickly pulled her hand back. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was paying attention to them. She moved to the side and put some distance between them and Su Chen. This action made Su Chens expression turn cold. At this moment, Tang Li came over from the other side. President Su, what do you think of this debate? Su Chens expression turned cold when he saw the other partys upper body approaching him. He said in an indifferent voice, I dont like people getting too close to me. Chi Xia looked over and saw Tang Li looking extremely awkward, but she couldnt show it. Her expression was really interesting. The mans expression was cold, and his undisguised aloofness made people afraid to approach him. However, when he was with her, he rarely showed such an expression to her. Chi Xia was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, Su Chens gaze swept over her. She hurriedly retracted her gaze and her heart started beating faster. Chapter 709: She and He Were Fated (3) Chapter 709: She and He Were Fated (3)
Trantor:549690339 Soon, it was Chi Xias turn to debate. However, the title that Chi Xia drew wasWhether love could develop into true love.
Chi Xia felt like the heavens were messing with her when she saw the title! Her 419 boyfriend was sitting below the stage, which made Chi Xia feel a lot of pressure. Chi Xia stood on the opposing side and couldnt develop into true love, while Sun Xiaoxiao stood on the supporting side. When the debate began, Sun Xiaoxiao was the first to speak and gave a lot of reasons. Chi Xia said, I object because this possibility doesnt exist. We were just having fun. How could we develop into lovers? Love is built on the foundation of feelings, not surnames! Sun Xiaoxiao: Only through sexual harmony can we further understand each other. Many lovers are together under the guise of true love, but they still dont end up together in the end. So, although Love in a Leaf is just a mistake, the two people are destined to have a spark. Chi Xia: Feelings are about understanding each other. Only when we arepatible in all aspects will we be able to have a heart-to-heart rtionship. Forcing two strangers to be together will only hurt each other. As Chi Xia spoke, she inadvertently looked down the stage and met the mans gaze. Her mind went nk. She didnt hear what Sun Xiaoxiao said clearly. When it was her turn to debate, she didnt know how to respond, so Chi Xia lost the debate. Chi Xia got off the stage and walked towards her seat. She felt the mans gaze on her and felt weak in her legs. When she walked past the man and was about to sit down, she identally tripped and fell to the side. Suddenly, a hand reached out to support her. She did not look up and said in a low voice,Thank you.
The other party did not answer. Chi Xia sat down on the chair silently and did not look at Su Chen again. Sun Xiaoxiao saw Chi Xias listlessness and thought that she was upset because she lost the debate. Sheforted her, Xiaxia, isnt it just a debate? If I lost, then so be it. I didnt feel very happy about winning either. This debate question is too deceptive. If I had to choose, I would definitely choose the opposite side. Actually, I dont think there will be any true love at the beginning. Sun Xiaoxiaos words stunned Chi Xia. Even though she lost the debate, she did not waver. 419 was still 419. Even if she and Su Chen were together, they would still break up in the end! Sun Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but she identally noticed Su Chen ring at her. His gaze was the same as before. It was so cold that she didnt dare to look at him directly. She quickly shut her mouth and said nothing. President Su, the topic just now was quite interesting. Do you think there will be results if we get together in that way? Tang Li asked. Chi Xia tensed up when she heard this question. Did he think that there would be a result? Then, Su Chens cold voice sounded, No, I dont know. Never What he meant was that he did not pass 419! Never! Then what was she!
Chi Xia clenched her fists on herp. This answer made her heave a sigh of relief. It was better to hear such words than to hear him say something sarcastic about her. At this moment, Su Chen looked at Chi Xia and said in a deep voice, If you were given a choice, would you still choose the opposite side? Chi Xia raised her head in shock and met those deep eyes. There was a questioning look in those eyes, as if she wanted to hear her answer her question personally. Chapter 710: She and He Were Unfated (4) Chapter 710: She and He Were Unfated (4)
Trantor:549690339 Why did he suddenly ask this question? How did he want her to answer? Or what kind of answer did he want to hear?
Chi Xia opened her mouth. Just as she was about to answer, the debate ended abruptly, interrupting everything. After the debate ended, Chi Xia ran backstage with the documents. She must be out of her mind to want to discuss this topic with Su Chen! Su Chens eyes darkened as he watched the departing figure. Tang Li noticed that Su Chen seemed to be very interested in this topic. She smiled and teased, President Su, did you really not have a good night? Su Chen didnt seem to hear the other partys question. He stood up and left without saying a word. He had never had a good nights sleep. He had never thought of the time he had with Chi Xia as a one-night stand! Because he was confident enough to keep that woman by his side. However, that woman was not what he wanted. After Chi Xia was done with her work, she left the hall and walked to a corner. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her and she was pinned against the wall.
She instinctively wanted to scream, but then she saw Su Chens face. You Why havent you left yet? What was he doing here! Su Chen narrowed his eyes at her. You havent answered my question. Chi Xia took a while to react before she realized what he was talking about. Su Chen, are you toying with me? Whats there to ask? You know how Im going to answer! I dont know! Then let me tell you. Even if I have a hundred chances, I will still choose the opposite side. I dont believe that Yi Yeqing will ever meet true love. Its even more impossible for it to happen to us Mm Before Chi Xia could finish her sentence, her lips were kissed. She panicked and pushed him away, but she couldnt. This was a school! Why should he kiss her? Chi Xia bit his lips angrily, but the man ignored her and took the opportunity to invade her mouth.
Chi Xia bit his tongue in a frenzy, and a bloody taste spread in her mouth, causing Su Chen to stop frowning. Her eyes were filled with resistance. She was very cautious when he got close to her. She had been like this from the beginning. The first time they were together, she had been like this after she woke up. After that, every time he kissed her, she would reject him. This woman had never epted him. To be precise, she had always treated him as a tool to forget her first love. The only reason she was with him was for this! Now, she finally didnt need him anymore, so she couldnt even be bothered to pretend! Chi Xia panted heavily. Before she could say anything, she heard the mans deep and suppressed voice, Chi Xia, do you despise me so much? Her body stiffened. She looked up and met his deep gaze. Before she could see his expression clearly, the man suddenly let go of her and turned to leave. At the same time, he said,As you wish. Chi Xia stood rooted to the ground, staring at the mans tall back, feeling a little lonely. Chi Xia leaned weakly against the wall behind her. The cold sensation on her back enveloped her whole body. She only looked away when the tall figure disappeared. It really ended here. Su Chen got into the car, the coldness still lingering in his body. He lit a cigarette and started smoking. At this moment, the car door opened.
Then, a figure got into the car and smiled at Su Chen. Young Master Su, long time no see. Do you still remember me? Chapter 711: Qiao Mu’s Mother? Chapter 711: Qiao Mus Mother?
Trantor:549690339 Su Chens cold eyes swept over. Who are you? Who allowed you to get in my car? Young Master Su, Im Mi Rou. Weve met before
Get down! Before Mi Rou could finish her sentence, Su Chen interrupted her coldly. His eyes were filled with disgust as if he was looking at trash. Mi Rous face stiffened. In the end, she got out of the car. She wanted to go around the other side of the car window to say something to Su Chen, but just as she closed the door, the car flew past her at high speed and almost knocked her down! Mi Rou stomped her feet in anger. Su Chen was kissing Chi Xia just now, but he was so cold when facing her! How was she inferior to Chi Xia? Gu Cheng had canceled their engagement for her, but Chi Xia didnt want Gu Cheng! On the other hand, Gu Cheng would rather be dumped by Chi Xia than have anything to do with her. That b * stard clearly had sex with her after getting drunk, but he still refused to take responsibility for her! Since Chi Xia had snatched Gu Cheng away from her, she would snatch Su Chen away and make Chi Xia pay! Qiao Muspetition was approaching, and Key had held a press conference for her. They announced that they would let the audience see the real results of the contestants during the finals, and that anyone who giarized would be given an exnation. Key had already put his words aside. If Qiao Mu did not fight with all her might, she would really be letting Key down. Qiao Mu hadpleted all of her works for thepetition, and just as she needed money to buy fabric to practice her skills, she suddenly received an extra three million! Three million!
Qiao Mu was instantly dumbfounded. She had memorized this series of numbers several times and was certain that it was correct! Qiao Mu called Li Yan to ask for the reason, but the man replied, Didnt I tell you to invest it? Now that the investment is over, the profits will be returned to you. It turned out that he was really using this money to invest. Qiao Mu thought that he was short of money! But what could he do to earn so much so quickly? Qiao Mu thought for a moment and asked, Uncle, could it be that youre deliberately saying that youll invest it and then give me your three million yuan? You dont believe me? Do you want me to show you the stock trading records? Qiao Mu was speechless. So it was used to specte in stocks! This sum of money had multiplied tenfold in just two days, making Qiao Mu instantly feel that the money she had worked so hard to earn was indeed not presentable! Li Yan could totally imagine the surprise on the little womans face. He hung up the phone in a good mood and knocked on the door. Lei Yi walked in and ced the documents on the table. President, theres news from the orphanage.
Li Yans eyes narrowed. Lei Yi continued, After investigating for so long and eliminating all the names of those who often went to the orphanage, we found out that there was a person who had been doing volunteer work at the orphanage and often sponsored the orphanage. After investigation, we found out that she gave birth to a child at the hospital 19 years ago, but that child is not by her side now. You can contact this person? Yes, she is Shu Xinyu. Li Yans expression darkened. He flipped open the documents and saw a detailed report on Shu Xinyu. To be precise, it was a report from 19 years ago. ording to the information, Shu Xinyu gave birth to a daughter in a hospital 19 years ago. Half a yearter, she married Ning Feng and became the young mistress of the Ning family. However, her daughter disappeared without a trace. Li Yan frowned. Are you sure about this? The information cant be fake. Its just that we havent verified whether the rtionship between Miss Qiao and Shu Xinyu is real. After all, its been so many years, and Shu Xinyu has cleared her name of her past. She spent a lot of effort investigating this information. Its obvious that she doesnt want others to know about her past. Chapter 712: Shu Xinyu, Qiao Mu, Let’s Talk Chapter 712: Shu Xinyu, Qiao Mu, Lets Talk
Trantor:549690339 Li Yan stared at the information. His thin lips were pursed slightly, and his face was drawn into a cold arc. Shu Xinyu!
If it really was Shu Xinyu, it might not be a good thing for Qiao Mu. Shu Xinyu had always been targeting Qiao Mu for Ning Tongtong. If Shu Xinyu was really Qiao Mus mother and let Qiao Mu know that her mother had done something to hurt her, that little woman would definitely be very sad. Continue to investigate what happened to Shu Xinyu 19 years ago. I want to be 100% sure! Li Yan ced the documents into the drawer. This matter had not been confirmed yet, and he did not want Qiao Mu to know about it. Furthermore, thepetition was about to start, and he could not let this matter affect Qiao Mus performance. At the same time, Qiao Mu was purchasing materials for thepetition. She came out of the mall and met Shu Xinyu by the roadside. Shu Xinyu alighted from the car, and her expression turned colder when she saw Qiao Mu. Just as Qiao Mu was about to pass by, she heard Shu Xinyu call out to her. Qiao Mu, I have something to tell you. His tone was extremely unyielding. Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks. Madam Shu, I dont think we have anything to talk about, right? Im your elder after all. Do you think youre being polite? Shu Xinyu spoke coldly and walked towards the cafe at the side. I wont waste your time. Come in and have a chat.
Qiao Mu didnt know what Shu Xinyu wanted to do. After hesitating for a moment, she still followed her into the cafe. Qiao Mu sat down opposite Shu Xinyu. Madam Shu, just say what you want to say. I still have to buy all the things I need for the finals before dark. Shu Xinyu slowly took a sip from her cup and looked at Qiao Mu. Then I wont beat around the bush. Qiao Mu, I want to know why yourepeting? I can give you anything you want. I want you to withdraw from thepetition. This is not a bad thing for you. Even though Qiao Mu knew Shu Xinyu came with ill intentions, she never expected to hear such words. Want her to withdraw from thepetition? She really didnt know where Shu Xinyu got the confidence to tell her this! Qiao Mu looked back at him. If thats all you want to say, I can leave now. Qiao Mu! The matter of you giarizing Tongtongs work and entering thepetition through the back door has been exposed. This matter has blown up so much. It wont do you any good if you continue to participate in thepetition. If you take the initiative to withdraw from thepetition now, not only can you avoid embarrassing yourself in the finals, I can also satisfy what you want. As long as you state your conditions, I will agree to them! What Qiao Mu hated the most was someone using money to get rid of her. Yu Tingyun had done this kind of thing many times, and she had really had enough of it. The woman in front of her had really put in a lot of effort for Ning Tongtong. She didnt know if Shu Xinyu was really kept in the dark by Ning Tongtong or if she had said those words to her after knowing that Ning Tongtong had giarized her work. She said in a distant tone, Ms. Shu, since Ning Tongtong is right, why are you trying so hard to get me to withdraw from thepetition? You seem to be feeling guilty, afraid that my outstanding performance in the finals will hinder Ning Tongtong. Shu Xinyu acted as if she had heard a joke. No matter how outstanding you are in thepetition, youre still copying someone elses work. How can you surpass Tongtong? I asked you to withdraw from thepetition because I didnt want you to affect Tongtongs reputation. However, from the looks of it, you dont intend to ept my suggestion?
Madam Shu, even if you love your daughter dearly and only trust your daughter, I have to tell you clearly that I did not giarize Ning Tongtongs work. You can go back and ask her who giarized who. Ill be leaving first Chapter 713: Do You Hate Shu Xinyu? Chapter 713: Do You Hate Shu Xinyu?
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu got up and prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps, Shu Xinyus voice sounded behind her. Qiao Mu, allow me to remind you that a girl shouldnt be so ambitious. Even if you have Li Yan backing you up, it wontst long. After all, Li Yan already has a fiance. Since youre unwilling to stop in time, Ill wait and see what kind of work you can produce in the finals! Faced with Shu Xinyus mockery, a cold glint shed across Qiao Mus eyes. She did not argue and left immediately.
She had finally seen how Shu Xinyu protected Ning Tongtong without distinguishing between right and wrong. Her daughter was right, and everyone else was wrong. She couldnt change what others thought of her. All she could do was use her strength to shut others up! Due to Shu Xinyus interference, Qiao Mu was no longer in the mood to continue shopping. She called Li Yan, who came over to pick her up when it was time to get off work. Qiao Mu got into the car with a puffed up face, looking as if she had been provoked. She was unwilling to show her emotions in front of others. After all, she had been in the Qiao family for so many years, so she could hide her feelings very well. However, when she faced Li Yan, those little grievances instantly appeared and she could not suppress them. Li Yan looked down at her. Whats wrong? Uncle, what if Im bullied? As Qiao Mu spoke, she plunged into Li Yans embrace. Li Yans eyes turned cold when he saw the aggrieved look on the little womans face. With me around, who would dare to bully you? This simple sentence instantly warmed Qiao Mus heart. Sometimes, Qiao Mu would think that the heavens were fair. They gave her a man like him to protect her, so there would be people who would bully her. Otherwise, how could she disy her uncles might and dominance?!
Qiao Mus anger subsided, but she still angrily said, I met Shu Xinyu when I was shopping just now. She wanted me to withdraw from thepetition and even said that I could name any conditions! Just thinking about it makes me angry. Shu Xinyu? Li Yan didnt frown. A chill gradually appeared in the depths of his eyes. Qiao Mu nodded. Shu Xinyu seems to be kept in the dark by Ning Tongtong and doesnt know that Ning Tongtong bought my work, so she firmly believes that I giarized Ning Tongtongs work. Shes reallypetent as a stepmother. Li Yan looked down at her. Do you hate Shu Xinyu? Qiao Mu thought about it. I dont really hate him. I just dont like him. She only felt that what she had done was a little overboard, but thinking about it carefully, she had done it for Ning Tongtongs good. As a mother, she was a little confused. I just dont know if shell continue to protect Ning Tongtong after she finds out that Ning Tongtong lied to her. At this point, Qiao Mu leaned on Li Yans shoulder, and her tone softened a little. Although Ning Tongtong isnt that great of a person, Im still quite envious of her in some aspects. At least she can get along so well with her stepmother. Shes like her own mother. Li Yan raised his hand and patted Qiao Mus head. Mumu, if you find your mother and realize that shes not as beautiful as you think she is, will you regret acknowledging her? Qiao Mu was startled, and her expression dimmed a little. I didnt imagine her to be that wonderful in the first ce. She abandoned me when I was born, so how wonderful could she be? Qiao Mu snuggled into Li Yans embrace. I have you, Auntie, and my father. Im already very satisfied. Chapter 714: Playing with Fire (1) Chapter 714: ying with Fire (1)
Trantor:549690339 Li Yan knew that even though Qiao Mu did not have much hope for her biological parents who abandoned her, she still wanted to see them and ask them why they treated her like this back then. How could he not understand what this little woman was thinking?
Even in front of him, she did not want to reveal the pain in her heart. Since she didnt want to say anything, he didnt force her. He held her with his arm and pulled her into his embrace. His voice was low as he said, Little thing, I know you like role-ying, so whoever you want to take me as, Ill cooperate with you. Qiao Mu was speechless. She couldnt stand this mans serious words. She snorted and pushed him away. I think youre deliberately trying to satisfy your hobby. I wont fall for it! Looking at the little womans slightly red face, Li Yans lips curled up. His expression was so devilish that it was mesmerizing. Are you sure you dont like it? Qiao Mu looked at the mans face, and her heartbeat suddenly sped up. She kept despising herself for being useless. Why was her self-control socking?! The mans face was handsome and charming like a demon. He had a familiar smile that could stir up waves in her heart every time. Even if she faced it 24 hours a day, she would still not be able to develop immunity and would still be seduced. Li Yan narrowed his eyes. Do you like it? .. I like it.
Qiao Mu had forgotten what he had said before. When she heard him, she dazedly followed the topic and replied with two words. However, when she saw the smile on the mans lips deepen the next second, she suddenly realized that he was asking her if she liked his hobby! This bastard! Qiao Mu opened her mouth and was about to deny it when the man suddenly lowered his head and kissed her. The moment he kissed her, he conveniently pulled down the curtain between him and the driver in front of him to prevent others from peeping. The little womans face was red with embarrassment. Her big eyes were shining, and her small mouth was slightly curled up. She looked angry and annoyed, as if she was asking him for a kiss. It made his heart throb, and he wanted to immediately pull her into his arms and dote on her. His thoughts and actions could always be carried out at the same time. He directly hugged her in his arms and savoured her sweetness. Qiao Mus nose was filled with the mans unique minty fragrance, which made her dizzy. She moved slightly in his arms, but he hugged her even tighter. His strong breath surrounded her. This man had always attacked her regardless of the asion. At this moment, there were all kinds of car horns outside the car. There was even a driver in front of the car ying melodious music. The atmosphere was extremely ambiguous. This kind of nervous stimtion made Qiao Mu suddenly have the urge to take a risk. After a while, Li Yan pressed the woman in his arms onto hisp and finally ended the kiss reluctantly. His lips pressed against her ear, almost kissing her earlobe. He said in a low voice,Little thing, Ill teach you a lesson when we get back!
Feeling the warm breath spreading by her ear, Qiao Mu felt her entire body quiver, and her body weakly leaned against his chest. This bastard was teasing her on purpose! Qiao Mus evil intentions that were hidden in her heart gradually began to bubble. She rested her head on his shoulder, and her lips were intentionally or unintentionally pressed against his neck. Breathing in hot air, she gently blew on his neck. She remembered reading in a magazine that one of the actions that could make a man lose control was to blow at a mans neck! Chapter 715: Playing with Fire (2) Chapter 715: ying with Fire (2)
Trantor:549690339 She recalled that she had never used such a seductive method on him before because this man did not need to seduce him at all. He could set himself on fire automatically. She loved ying with fire!
Of course, Qiao Mu knew that no matter how reckless this man was, he would noty his hands on her in the car. Of course, if there were no outsiders in the car, there was no guarantee that he would do something. At this moment, the driver in front was Qiao Mus best insurance. Hence, Qiao Mu dared to be impudent under such circumstances! Qiao Mu blew on Li Yans neck and could clearly feel the mans body stiffen. She was gloating in her heart, and her restless little factor became even more active. Her hand boldly drew circles on his chest through his shirt, once and twiceWith every touch, she could feel the mans body bing stiffer and stiffer. Qiao Mu finally realized that toying with this man in the palm of her hand was indescribableAwesome! Li Yan felt as if his body was about to explode. His gaze swept across the little womans mischievous smile. Her big ck eyes blinked mischievously as if she was ying with fire. However, this little woman did not know the phrase ying with fire at all! Did she really think that he couldnt do anything to her? Right at this moment, he felt an itch on his neck. A slippery feeling swept across his neck like a feather, followed by another
The mes that Li Yan had been trying his best to suppress burned to the extreme in an instant. Qiao Mu was currently licking Li Yans neck with the tip of her tongue. As she licked, she snickered. She was about half an hour away from home. Lets see what he could do to her! Finally, Li Yans body moved. Qiao Mu raised her head and smiled innocently at the man. Uncle, whats wrong? Are you not feeling well? The man curled his lips and said in an ambiguous tone, Comfortable. Qiao Mu was speechless. She would let him take advantage of her mouth since she was torturing his body. Qiao Mus finger continued to draw circles on his chest. Uncle, what do you want to eat tonight? Ill make it for you when we get home, okay? After torturing him, she would definitely not have a good ending, so he made him a meal to make it up to her. Li Yan was tickled by her hand. He grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice that only the two of them could hear, Eat you. Qiao Mu was speechless.
His answers always left her speechless! Alright? Li Yan narrowed his eyes at her. Alright! Regardless of whether it was good or not, he would let him have a taste of the sweetness first. He would talk about the restter! After Li Yan heard her answer, the corners of his mouth widened. In the next second, he ced one hand on the back of her head and kissed her fiercely on the lips. Qiao Mu instantly froze. What was he doing! Was he really going to act recklessly regardless of the situation? It was said that men used their lower bodies to think at times like this. Li Yan, who had always been rational, could he have really lost control? Qiao Mu was a little scared. She pushed him nervously, but she could not resist his passionate kiss. His breath filled his mouth as he devoured her without restraint. Just as Qiao Mu was nervously resisting, the man suddenly stopped and asked her, Do you want to eat durian? .. Hmm?
Qiao Mu did not react for a moment. Why did he suddenly ask this?! Then, the man ignored her answer and said to the driver in front, Park the car in the nearby parking lot. Go to the supermarket and buy two durians. Chapter 716: Playing with Fire (3) Chapter 716: ying with Fire (3)
Trantor:549690339 This man She looked at him in shock. You What are you doing?
The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. His expression was so angry that it could bewitch people. Be good. Dont you like to eat durians? Thest time I bought it, your mother-inw ate it. You were still envious that your mother-inw would have ten durians to eat when she went back. Today, Ill fulfill your small wish. Are you happy? Qiao Mu was speechless. She really couldnt be happy! These words were as considerate as possible! Normally, Qiao Mu would have been moved to tears. Her youngest uncle was so considerate and treated her so well! However, it wasnt like that, alright? Seeing the malicious glint in this mans eyes, Qiao Mu knew that if the driver got out of the car, she would What bad luck! Qiao Mu shook her head in a panic. Uncle, Ive been on fire recently, so I cant eat durians. Lets not buy them. Lets go home? Its okay if you get angry. You can eat some durian to fight poison with poison. Isnt that what you said? Qiao Mus expression changed rapidly, and she was like an ant on a hot pan in his embrace, not knowing what to do. Just as she was thinking about what to say, she felt the car stop!
He looked out of the car window and saw an empty parking lot! There was no one around. It was just right to do something bad here! At the thought of this, Qiao Mu could already predict the oue! She shouted that she didnt need to buy anything if she didnt want to eat durian, but the driver acted as if he didnt hear her and got out of the car ording to Li Yans instructions. And then Only the two of them were left in the car! In the car, other than the melodious music, there was no other sound. The atmosphere instantly changed! Qiao Mu chuckled dryly at Li Yan. Her butt, which was sitting on Li Yansp, slowly shifted, preparing to escape his embrace. At this time, any contact with him was dangerous for her. Therefore, they had to retreat quickly!
But She had just escaped from his embrace when her thigh was grabbed by the mansrge hand. With a gentle tug of his arm, she returned to his embrace. She looked at him pitifully. The arrogance she had earlier hadpletely disappeared. Uncle, dont do anything rash. Were outside. The chauffeur will be back soon. Li Yan smiled. Dont worry, he wont be back for a while. Qiao Mus face was flushed red. She would not be able toe back anytime soon, not because it would take a long time to buy durians, but because the driver knew Li Yans intentions and would note back abruptly! This man! Did he not have any shame? Li Yan hooked Qiao Mus chin. Why? Werent you very powerful just now? Why arent you continuing to make me fortable now? He deliberately emphasized the word fortable. Qiao Mu was so embarrassed that she couldnt even raise her head. Why was it that every time she took advantage of him, he would quickly take it back from her in double?! She didnt even have the chance to properly experience the feeling of arrogance! Qiao Mu was so anxious that she was about to cry. Uncle, I really know my mistake.
You didnt do anything wrong. You did a good job. So, you have to continue to perform! Li Yan grabbed her waist and wanted to fall back into his seat. You performed so well just now, so shouldnt we hurry up and finish what you love to do? Qiao Mu was speechless. Love your sister! Then, even after Qiao Mu begged for mercy in every possible way, the certain man still remained indifferent as he carried out his beastly nature! Chapter 717: Do You Know What I Like About You? Chapter 717: Do You Know What I Like About You?
Trantor:549690339 In the parking lot, every parking space was separated by wooden nks, so no one could see what was going on inside the car. There was a curtain in front of the car, and the privacy facilities were very good. However, they were still outside! Moreover, it was a parking lot for cars!
Although they couldnt see the situation inside the car, the people inside could hear themotion outside! Qiao Mu was so embarrassed that she couldnt bear to see anyone. This beast had truly broken the bottom line of a hooligan! Afterward, Qiao Mu practically kept her eyes closed the entire time, but she was also worried about what was happening outside. The conflicted feeling of embarrassment, nervousness, and wanting to find a hole to hide in almost made her copse! There was only soft music in the car. asionally, a few mens teasing voices and lowughter could be heard, as well as the sound of some kind of exercise. Qiao Mu bit her lip from the beginning to the end, not daring to make a single sound! FinallyEverything was over! Qiao Mu was so embarrassed that she was about to cry. She allowed the man to clean her up and then help her put on her clothes. After Li Yan put on Qiao Mus leggings, he put down her skirt and wiped the sweat off her forehead with a tissue. He chuckled and said, Little thing, did you n to wear a dress out today? Qiao Mu was speechless. Premeditated your sister! Qiao Mu really wanted to curse, but she really didnt have the strength, alright? He didnt even have the strength to speak. Moving around in such a small space was ten times more tiring than usual!
Not only did she have to endure physical fatigue, but she also had to endure mental pressure. It really did not torture her to death! Li Yan saw that the little woman was so embarrassed and angry as if he had gone too far. She was angry before and after. He rested her head on hisp and called the chauffeur toe back. He put down the phone and held her hand, pinching it slowly. Little thing, who was so excited that my clothes were deformed just now? Now, youre acting so disdainful. Sometimes, its not a bad thing to pretend to be reserved, but your behavior will make your man doubt his own ability. As Li Yan spoke, he even tugged at his deformed clothes for her to see. It was as if he had ced the evidence in front of her so that she could not refute him. Qiao Mu blushed and refused to look at him. She wasnt excited, she was boycotting his actions, alright? She thought for a moment and spat angrily. Your ability is questionable! Li Yans smile deepened upon hearing that, but the smile in his eyes was gone! Qiao Mu had only said such reckless words on impulse. She really did not mean to offend his strong self-esteem! Just as she was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, she heard the mans dark voice say, The driver hasnte back yet. Should we call him and tell him to make another trip to buy two more durians? Qiao Mu was speechless.
In fact, when she thought about it, although she resisted such indulgent behavior from the bottom of her heart, the feeling just now waspletely different from usual. She was nervous and excited, a little rejected and a little expectant Uh, actually, it was quite exciting. At this thought, Qiao Mu shook her head vigorously. What was she thinking about?! She must have been infected by this man! The man seemed to have seen through her thoughts andughed softly. Little thing, do you know what I like most about you? Qiao Mu blinked and looked at him expectantly when she suddenly said this. What? Chapter 718: I Like That You Don’t Say What You Say Chapter 718: I Like That You Dont Say What You Say
Trantor:549690339 Could it be that he had eaten his fill and wanted to say something sweet to her? However, in the next moment, Qiao Mu knew that she was daydreaming.
Li Yans lips curled into a devilish smile. I like it when you say one thing but mean another. You clearly want it in your heart, but you always say no with your mouth. Qiao Mu was speechless. She wanted to tape this mans mouth shut! At night, Li Yan did note out of his study. Qiao Mu went outside the study and was about to knock on the door to remind Li Yan that it was time to sleep when she heard Li Yans voiceing from inside the room. Whos in charge of new York? How can such a big project have a loophole? Ill go over tomorrow Li Yan paused for a moment. Ill get Lei Yi to settle this first. Ill head over in three days. Qiao Mu pushed the door open and entered. She saw Li Yan wearing earphones and staring at theputer screen. He seemed to be on a video call. Seeing her enter, Li Yan said a few words before hanging up the video call. Then, he looked up at her and waved at her. Are you sleepy? Qiao Mu sat on hisp. Uncle, are you busy? Its okay. Ill go to sleep now. Li Yan said calmly. Qiao Mu snorted. Youre lying to me. You said something happened in new York on the phone just now, so it must be an emergency. My finals are the day after tomorrow, so you dont have to stay and watch. Dont dy your work because of me.
When he said that he would leave in three days, she had already guessed that he would definitely wait until herpetition was over before leaving. Although she really hoped that he could watch the game live, work was the priority after all. She could not let him ignore work for the sake of the game. Silly girl, those things are not important. It doesnt matter if its a day earlier or a dayter. You still want to lie to me, Uncle? I really dont want you to affect your work because of me. Its okay. Even if youre not around, Ill definitely finish thepetition sessfully. So, you can go on your business trip in peace. Ill take care of thepetition in a down-to-earth manner, okay? Li Yan nodded helplessly when he saw her persistence. He instructed, During thepetition, if you run into any trouble, look for Su Chen and the others. Wait for me toe back and celebrate with you. Yes! Although Qiao Mu was reluctant to part with him, she did not want to hinder Li Yans work. She was already very happy that he could choose her between work and herself. Li Yan left reluctantly. Soon after, Qiao Mu weed the finals. The finals were held in the open-air manor when it was closed. A gorgeous runway was built on thewn. In order to show the most authentic work, there was no need for any lighting to affect the color difference of the clothes. Outside the manor, Ling Xi was driving a sleek ck Lamborghini. He parked the car at the entrance with one hand on the car window and the other hand holding the phone to his ear.
Although he looked sloppy, his tone was very respectful when he spoke into the phone. Brother, Im already at the scene now. Ill go in immediately. Ill definitely watch over Sister-inw for you and not let anything happen to her! Ling Xiined in his heart. This was the third time Young Master Li had reminded him. Wasnt this man very busy in new York? Where did she get so much free time to make such a boring call to him! On the other end of the phone, Li Yan said coldly, If I find out that shes been bullied, you can forget about marrying a woman for the rest of your life. If you cant even take good care of my woman, you can stay single for the rest of your life. Ling Xi was speechless. Did he have to be so vicious! Did he have to be so ruthless? Chapter 719: Problems Before the Match (1) Chapter 719: Problems Before the Match (1)
Trantor:549690339 Ling Xi nodded repeatedly. He finally managed to appease Li Yan and hung up the phone. He put the phone away and started the car with his head lowered. Just as he stepped on the elerator, a woman suddenly crashed into his car.
He opened the car door and got out of the car, only to see the woman kick his car. How did you drive? Cant you see that theres someone in front? Arent you afraid of hitting people when you drive a luxury car? Ling Xi frowned as he looked at the woman who raped his car. I think youre trying to scam me after seeing a luxury car, right? Didnt I just bump into you lightly? He knocked lightly! He really dared to say it! Ye Nuan raised her leg and kicked the car harder. I only kicked it lightly! Do you want to die? Ling Xi was furious. He was already very frustrated when he was forced to participate in this boringpetition, and now he had to meet such a woman! Looking at the womans face, he felt that she looked a little familiar, but he couldnt remember. Ye Nuan snorted coldly. I have something urgent to attend to today and I cant waste time with you. If I had nothing to do, I would haveid down beside your car and sued you for bankruptcy! Ling Xi was speechless. This woman was really whimsical! After she finished speaking, the woman waved her hand and left. Ling Xi wanted to say something, but the woman disappeared like the wind. Everything was ready. Before thepetition, all the contestants gathered for a small meeting. Amy briefly exined the rules of thepetition.
In the first round of thepetition, each contestant would present three sets of works. If they passed, they would advance to the top three and continue topete for the first and second ce. Every contestant had prepared two rounds of work. If they could not advance to the top three, they would not have the chance to show their second round of work. No one wanted to be eliminated at this critical moment. Since they had entered the finals, everyone wanted to go to the end! After Amy finished her introduction, she added,The grouping of the contestants will be decided by the contestants themselves. To ensure the fairness of thepetition, all the contestants will go up on stage to draw lots at the beginning of thepetition. The nine of you will be divided into three groups. As for who you will be divided into a group, it will depend on your luck. A contestant said, This is all luck. If youre in the same group as a contestant with poor results, then the chances of advancing are higher. If youre in the same group as a strong contestant, then you can only admit that youre unlucky! Ning Tongtong smiled. You cant put it that way. We all entered the finals through the selection process. If we can enter the finals, our results will naturally not be bad. It doesnt matter who group were in. Is that so? But we all know that some of us didnt advance through the selection. The contestants who should have been eliminated entered the finals. We all hope to be in the same group as her. That way, our chances of winning are higher. Someone said sarcastically. When Qiao Mu heard this, she looked at Ning Tongtong indifferently, but Ning Tongtong had an innocent look on her face, as if she was not the one who started this topic. Ever since Qiao Mu found out that Ning Tongtong was the person who bought her work, Ning Tongtong had be less arrogant in front of her, but she had caused her trouble behind her back. Ning Tongtong spoke again, She was supposed to be eliminated, but she advanced instead. This kind of contestant must have hidden her abilities. We cant not be vignt. If we were to be in the same group as her, who knows if her abilities would suddenly explode? Hidden ability?
Ning Tongtongs speaking skills were impressive. She spoke in a friendly manner, but she was hinting to others that Qiao Mu had a backer. Even if she did not have the ability, she could still turn the tables around with a backer. Her words immediately made the other contestants wary of Qiao Mu. Chapter 720: Problems Before the Match (2) Chapter 720: Problems Before the Match (2)
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu coldly nced at Ning Tongtong and faintly smiled. Ning Tongtong, I remember that Ms. Shu gave you a high score of 9.5 in the semi-finals, but Teacher Key only gave you 8 points. I wonder if you can still get a high score of 9.5 without Shu Xinyu in this round? Ning Tongtongs expression changed. She originally wanted everyone to attack Qiao Mu, but Qiao Mu directly threw the spearhead at her!
This Qiao Mu was truly eloquent! The greatest taboo in apetition was to rely on connections to advance. If Qiao Mu had a backer, then Ning Tongtong wasnt clean either. Who asked Shu Xinyu to be the judge! The people at the side began to whisper. Ning Tongtong suppressed her anger and said as if nothing had happened,Im also very troubled by my mother being a judge. Fortunately, she didnt participate in thepetition during the finals. Well wait and see if Ill still get high marks. Another person said, Tongtong already has her own brand of clothing. Of course, we believe in her ability. Shes not like someone who hasnt graduated from university. The only thing she can rely on is her external conditions. Qiao Mu nced at him. Can you see what I look like on the inside? How would I know! Im not interested! Since you cant see my inner conditions, how do you know that Im purely relying on external conditions? Qiao Mu retorted impolitely. His words made the other party speechless. Then, he snorted. I really dont know if the champion of thispetition is internally decided! Tang Xiaozhu softly helped Qiao Mu out of the predicament. I believe in Mr. Keys decision. The contestants he personally picked must be capable. We are all contestants chosen by Mr. Key, so we naturally have to respect his decision. Since were participating in thepetition, we have to believe in the fairness of thepetition. If we have doubts, we might as well withdraw from thepetition. Sigh, how can you say that? Were not talking about you. Dont tell me youre taking the opportunity to build a rtionship? Tang Xiaozhu was an introverted person. After being attacked like this, she blushed and red at the other party, not knowing how to retaliate.
Director Amy, Qiao Mu said at the right time, the contestant is questioning thepetition. Shouldnt you say something? Amy was flipping through some documents at the side,pletely ignoring the situation here. When she heard Qiao Mus words, she finally spoke, Alright, thepetition is about to start. Put your mind on thepetition. Just like what Tang Xiaozhu said, if you think thepetition is unfair, its not toote to withdraw from thepetition now! Instantly, everyone stoppedining. After the meeting ended, Qiao Mu thanked Tang Xiaozhu gratefully. Tang Xiaozhu shook her head with a smile and said somewhat embarrassedly, Actually, I dont believe you. I believe in Teacher Key. Hes absolutely fair! Qiao Mu smiled. As expected, idols were very powerful. When Ning Tongtong walked past Qiao Mu, she extended her hand to Qiao Mu. I look forward to an exciting match. Qiao Mu lowered her gaze to look at the hand that reached over, but she did not shake it. She calmly said, I only hope that you can present your own work in an upright manner and not After Qiao Mu said this, she didnt continue and immediately turned to leave. Ning Tongtong put her hand down and snorted coldly in her heart. She saw Amy walking over and instantly smiled warmly. Director Amy, thank you. Amy nced at Ning Tongtong indifferently, her expression distant. Is there anything between us that we need to thank? Ning Tongtong was stunned. She waved her hand in understanding. No.

Trantor:549690339 When Qiao Mu returned to her workce, Chi Xia asked, Did that Ning Tongtong cause any trouble? Thepetition is about to start. Dont let her cause any more trouble. Qiao Mu picked up a bottle of mineral water and took a sip. She merely used someone elses mouth to attack me, so its fine. I can see that she seems quite confident in this final. Could it be that shes reallye up with a satisfactory design?
Chi Xia scoffed. She even giarized your own brand. What good designs can she possiblye up with? Im afraid that this giarism was done by someone else! Qiao Mu shook her head to indicate that she was not sure. As long as Ning Tongtong did not giarize her works, it had nothing to do with her. Ye Nuan rushed over. Sorry, Imte. I was dyed by something outside. Qiao Mu looked at the time and said, Theres still time. Ye Nuan, thank you for epting my invitation to be my model. I should be the one thanking you. Although theres no reward, its a great help to my reputation. Im still waiting for you to be famous and hire me as your exclusive model. Ye Nuan didnt take on the role of the model for the finals. Qiao Mu had contacted her privately and asked her to help out. She didnt expect her to agree so readily. Ye Nuan was wearing a couple outfit, but when the male model arrived, Qiao Mu was instantly disappointed. Not to mention her looks, just her figure was not enough. The male model was too white and did not have a masculine aura. Moreover, his figure was tall and thin, not as tall and strong as a man. Standing next to Ye Nuan, she couldnt suppress Ye Nuan with her aura. Wasnt thispetition sponsored by Li Yan Company? Why did he choose such second-rate models? Just as Qiao Mu was having a headache, Ling Xi walked in leisurely. Sister-inw, Im here to help you with your chores. Big Brother told me to keep an eye on you and not let anything happen to you.
As they spoke, Ling Xi had already entered the room. When he saw Ye Nuan, his face darkened. Why is this woman here? Why is it you! Ye Nuan spoke up at the same time, her eyes filled with disdain as she nced at Ling Xi. Qiao Mu, why do you have such a tasteless friend? I say, woman, who gave you the guts to treat me like this As Ling Xi spoke, Qiao Mu shouted, Stop! His gaze swept across the two of them. You two know each other? Ye Nuan shook her head and Ling Xi nodded. The two of them acted in unison. Even though Qiao Mu did not know what was going on, she did not have the time to ask. She looked at Ling Xi and said, Young Master Ling, I dont need a noble young master like you to do odd jobs here. You should go to the front desk and watch thepetition. You think I wanted toe? Its because Big Brother forced me toe! Ling Xi stuffed his hands into his pockets and strolled around the room, refusing to leave. Just as Qiao Mu was about to say something, she saw Ye Nuan and Ling Xis aura when they stood together. Ye Nuans tall and slender figure coupled with her temperament made her look cold and aloof, while Ling Xis height and looks were impable and handsome. Just like Li Yan, he had brought out the words tall, rich, and handsome to the fullest. When the two of them stood together, they looked verypatible!
Qiao Mus eyes lit up, and her attitude toward Ling Xi immediately changed. Young Master Ling, you want to stay here and help me? Yes, what do you want me to do? After all, she was his future sister-inw, so Ling Xis attitude was still very good, as if she was at his beck and call. Qiao Mu smiled. Theres indeed a small favor that only you can help me with! What? Why did he feel that Qiao Mus eyes were filled with ill intentions? Chapter 722: Problems Before the Match (4) Chapter 722: Problems Before the Match (4)
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu smiled. I have a couples outfit here. I have a female model, but Im short of a male model. So, you want me to be your model?
Qiao Mu nodded repeatedly. Young Master Ling was really too smart! I say, Qiao Mu, are you kidding me? You want me to be your model, and youre being watched like a monkey on the runway? Ling Xis tone was unpleasant. Dont even think about it! Ye Nuan looked displeased. What do you mean by being visited like a monkey? Why are you making us models sound so worthless? Its not worth much to begin with! Ye Nuan crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, if he bes a male model, I can only wear your other clothes. Standing next to her will affect my performance and lower my standards. Ling Xi was unhappy. Are you saying that Im not good enough for you? Qiao Mu was speechless. Why was there such a strong smell of gunpowder between these two people? At this moment, Qiao Mus phone rang. It was Li Yan. She picked up the call and heard the mans voice on the other end.Is thepetition going well? Ling Xi can go over. If you need anything, just look for him. Theres no need to be embarrassed. Qiao Mu nced at Ling Xi and said into the phone, Uncle, I do need Young Master Lings help, but Im too embarrassed to ask.
Ling Xi was speechless. She had already spoken. What did she mean by sorry? Why didnt he see her embarrassed at all? She had said this to the person on the other end of the phone because she wanted her uncle to stand up for her! This woman was just as sinister as her man! This little uncle was really not called for nothing. He hadpletely inherited Young Master Lis genes! Qiao Mu smiled at Ling Xi and turned on her phones speaker. Li Yans voice sounded from the other end of the line, Theres no need to be shy with him. Just tell me what you want him to do. If he doesnt do it, tell me. Ill go back and teach him a lesson! Uncle, youre so mighty. As expected, youre not a big brother for nothing! Qiao Mu began to tter him. Ling Xis expression was ugly as he shouted into the phone, Brother, your little nephew asked me to be his model. How could I agree? Arent you deliberately embarrassing me? The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds before he said, Youre so good. Its a pity to waste resources. Mumu is giving you face by letting you be her model. What reason do you have to reject her? Ling Xi was speechless. Letting him be a model was giving him face!
How could Young Master Li say this! For his little woman, he could even abandon his brother. He was really ruthless! She knew that Li Yan was heartless, but she did not expect him to be so heartless! After that, Li Yan gave Qiao Mu a few instructions over the phone before hanging up. Qiao Mu smiled apologetically at Ling Xi. Young Master Ling, Im really sorry. I didnt force you. It was your elder brother who gave you the imperial edict. Ling Xi snorted coldly. Qiao Mu, youre really amazing! Thank you for your praise, Young Master Ling. Ling Xi was speechless. Was heplimenting her? Ye Nuan watched silently from the side. She was a little surprised to hear the conversation between Qiao Mu and Li Yan, as well as the change in Ling Xis attitude. Li Yans protective tone and the concern in his tone showed how intimate the two of them were. Soon, she understood.
She had thought that Qiao Mu was like her, finding a rich man just to be her backer. It seemed that she was wrong. Chapter 723: Problems Before the Match (5) Chapter 723: Problems Before the Match (5)
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu looked at Ye Nuan. Please, just bear with him. Can you help me with this? Other than you, the other models dont match him! Although Ling Xi was sloppy, his temperament and looks were not something that ordinary people could match.
When these two good-looking models with powerful auras stood together, they could perfectly showcase the perfection of her work! It was said that clothes made the man, but clothes could also pick people! Before Ye Nuan could say anything, Ling Xi walked over. I havent even picked on you yet, and youre picking on me? Ye Nuan coldly nced at Ling Xi before nodding at Qiao Mu. Forget it, Ill endure it. Hearing this, Ling Xi was extremely furious. Qiao Mu didnt care if he was angry or not, and she directly stuffed the clothes into his hands. Young Master Ling, go and change your clothes. The two of you should get ready first. Very soon, Ling Xi and Ye Nuan came out in their couple outfits. The warm colors made the two of them look different. Qiao Mu reminded them as she styled their clothes. Ye Nuan, youre a professional model. Tell him how to perform on the runway. Youre wearing a couples outfit, so you must work well together. Ling Xi said disdainfully, I havent been there before, but do I need to be called over for such a small matter? I know what to do. Ye Nuan looked at him. Then what do you think we should do? Just a casual walk on the stage? I dont mind if you screw it up, but if it affects Qiao Mus results, youll have to bear the consequences yourself. One sentence extinguished Ling Xis arrogance!
He was really unlucky today. How did he meet such a infuriating woman! Finally, the two of them went to rehearse. Qiao Mu finally heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at the time, and there was still half an hour before the show started. There was also a set of parent-child outfits. The models came over. The child kept crying and calling for his mother. The model said anxiously, Xiangxiangs parents were stuck in a traffic jam on the way here. They havente over yet. The childs parents arent by his side, so he keeps crying. The makeup that he had put on is ruined now. What should we do? Cant youe in half an hour? The traffic jam is terrible at this time. I dont think he cane. Qiao Mu felt a headacheing on. She had just settled the matter over there, and now something happened here! The child was only seven years old. It was normal for him to be inseparable from his parents. Chi Xia came over to coax the child. After a while, the child finally stopped crying.
However, when the model held her hand, she started crying again. As long as Chi Xia was around, she would not cry. Qiao Mu thought about it. Xiaxia, why dont you go on stage with Xiangxiang? Chi Xias face darkened. Dont joke with me! Im serious. He cant leave you, and his parents cante. Its just a parent-child outfit anyway. Just walk around casually. Theres no need to pose too much. Big Sis, but Im only 19 years old, and you want me to be a mother? Baby Guan gloated. Xiaxia, please help Mumu. Theres a first time for everything. Look at how cute Little Xiangxiang is. Just walk around the stage once. Chi Xia rolled her eyes at Baby Guan. If its that easy, you do it. I want to wear beautiful clothes, but Xiangxiang doesnt rely on me! Dont worry, Qiao Mu said. Ive designed a set of best friend outfits for the three of us. Ill put them on for you after thepetition. Baby Guan was delighted. In order tofort Chi Xia, she said with disappointment, I cant go on stage with beautiful clothes on. I always feel like something is missing. Chi Xia was speechless.
In the end, Qiao Mu coaxed and coaxed Chi Xia until she finally agreed Chapter 724: Work Stolen (1) Chapter 724: Work Stolen (1)
Trantor:549690339 Thepetition venue was veryrge. Representatives of designers from major fashionpanies and industry peers came to watch thepetition first. Regardless of whether they could enter the top three, the future of the participating designers would change drastically.
Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi sat down and looked around the audience. Lu Jingzhi said, Wheres Xiao Si? Didnt he say he was here long ago? Su Chen sat on a chair with his legs crossed. Hes probably keeping an eye on Qiao Mu backstage on behalf of Big Brother. Eldest Brother really treats Qiao Mu like his daughter. He cant even be at ease without her by his side. Lu Jingzhi sighed. Su Chen nced at Lu Jingzhi. Arent you the same? Im not the same. Baby Guan is a troublemaker. She only spoke a few words before she used her fists and legs. Im taking care of her! Lu Jingzhi said confidently. Su Chen ignored Lu Jingzhis words. Lu Jingzhi suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, Second Brother, wheres your girlfriend? Thest time we had dinner together, you didnt seem to be on good terms with her. Did you quarrel? A cold war is a very scary thing for girls. If you care about her, coax her When did you be a rtionship expert? Su Chen interrupted Lu Jingzhi. Lu Jingzhi felt Su Chens expression darken and did not continue. All these men who had never been stumped by anything had to fall into the hands of a woman in the end. Eldest Brother was, and so was Second Brother. Uh, he was the same!
The match officially began. Backstage, Qiao Mu had already made ample preparations. All the models were waiting in the waiting hall behind the runway as the contestants prepared to go on stage. The host introduced the three judges, Key and Leo, and the fashionista Fan Wenwen. Fan Wenwen was very picky. She had a unique aesthetic sense, and it was very difficult for any work to catch her eye. Because she had a good rtionship with Key in private, she was the judge. After introducing the judges, the contestants went on stage to draw lots. There was a box in the middle of the stage. The contestants went to draw their contestant numbers at a time. The nine contestants were divided into three groups ording to the order of their numbers. Qiao Mu was number three in group one. Ning Tongtong was number five in group two. Among the other contestants, Qiao Mu only knew Tang Xiaozhu. Number 7 was in group three. The contestants got off the stage and took their seats on both sides of the runway. Then, the models were ready toe up. ording to the order, contestant number ones works were disyed on stage one by one.
For the theme of true love, every contestants ideas were inseparable from familial love. The first two contestants had simr design concepts as Qiao Mu, but they were all disying the love between couples, and the design of their clothes was different. When it was contestant number threes turn, Qiao Mu looked on with anticipation as the models went up on stage. The first one was a couple outfit for Ling Xi and Ye Nuan, followed by a parent-child outfit for Chi Xia and Xiang Xiang. Qiao Mu had designed a set for the bride and groom in the second round, so such a stunning finale piece would naturally be cedst. As soon as Ling Xi and Ye Nuan went on stage, the audience let out a low growl. The two of them stood on the stage and looked like a perfect match. Although Ling Xi wasnt a professional model, he had the right temperament and demeanor. His tall body was held by Ye Nuan as they walked on the runway, and he performed extremely well. Below the stage, Lu Jingzhi stared at Ling Xi. Second Brother, am I seeing things? Why did you see Little Four standing on the runway? Youre not seeing things. Its Little Fours brain thats acting up. Su Chen said lightly. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. At this moment, Su Chen saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance of the runway. Chapter 725: Work Stolen (2) Chapter 725: Work Stolen (2)
Trantor: 549690339 After Ling Xi and Ye Nuan finished disying their works, they stood aside. With so many pairs of eyes staring at him, Ling Xi truly experienced the feeling of being admired like a monkey. This feeling was really not good!
He, the dignified Young Master Ling, had actually fallen to such a state. He inadvertently nced at the audience below the stage and saw Lu Jingzhi looking at him with disdain. This made things worse. He lowered his head and nced at the woman beside him. She seemed to have noticed his gaze. After ncing at him, she coldly retracted her gaze. Moreover, she even retracted her hand from his arm! At this moment, Ling Xi finally understood why he felt that Ye Nuan looked familiar. It turned out that he had seen her on the runway during thestpetition. As she was wearing clothes designed by Qiao Mu, she paid extra attention to them. Chi Xia held Xiangxiangs hand and walked briskly along the runway. In order to highlight her personal attire, Chi Xias makeup was slightly mature and covered her youthful appearance. Su Chen looked at the woman on the stage. Although her face was a little mature, her eyes were bright and wless. The corners of her lips curled into a beautiful arc. She smiled and looked down at the child she was holding, her eyes filled with love. This expression stung Su Chens eyes. It was as if he was looking at another woman, making him feel unfamiliar. This woman had never shown such an expression in front of him. When she faced him, she was only distant and guarded. No matter what, she never let her guard down.
It turned out that she could also smile happily and be so gentle. During the time he spent with her, he thought that he had gotten closer to her, but in the end, it was just an illusion. Chi Xia walked to the front of the runway and was about to turn back. Ye Nuan had reminded her that she had to sweep her gaze across the audience and circle around the audience to look more rxed. If she was too reserved on stage, it would affect the effect. Chi Xia did as she was told. When her gazended on the audience, she identally met a gloomy gaze. The pair of dark eyes were deep and cold. Chi Xia was caught off guard and was stunned. He stared straight at her without any intention of moving his gaze away, and he did not care if she noticed his gaze. Chi Xias heart tightened as she recalled the day he turned around and left. This was the first time they had met. Chi Xia forgot to react for a moment. Suddenly, Xiangxiang tugged at her gently and she finally reacted. She turned around and walked back. Qiao Mu noticed that something was off with Chi Xia, so she followed her line of sight and saw Su Chen in the audience. She understood immediately. Fortunately, this wasnt a modelpetition, or Xiaxia would have been eliminated. The first group of contestants finished their work. The models got off the stage and the contestants got on stage.
Qiao Mu stood on the stage and waited for the judges to give their marks. Although she had full confidence in her work and had already presented her best design, she was still very nervous at this moment. Key and Leomented on the outfit, but Fan Wenwen directlymented on Qiao Mus model. Ill give you 9. This high score is partly because of your work, and partly because of your model, especially the male model in the couple outfit. Hes my type. Qiao Mu was speechless. This wasnt a dating show! However, Qiao Mu could be considered to have gotten such a high score thanks to Ling Xi. Following that, Key gave 9 points, and so did Leo. 5 points, a full score of 30 points. In the end, Qiao Mu entered the top three with a high score of 28 points. Everything went smoothly. [The promised chapter 12 is over. Also, its been a long time since Suying has asked for a rmendation ticket. All kinds of support!] [Thank you to the girls who still voted without asking for votes ~ Chi Xias story will be written slowly. The girls who skipped chapters might miss it. For now, Qiao Mu is the main character, and the other characters are secondary.] Chapter 726: Work Stolen (3) Chapter 726: Work Stolen (3)
Trantor: 549690339 When Ling Xi and Ye Nuan got off the stage, Qiao Mu went up to them and saw Ling Xis ashen face urging them, Hurry up and let me change my clothes. Im about to lose all my face. Young Master Ling, Qiao Mu hurriedly said, the next round of work is a wedding gown for the bride and groom, so Ill have to trouble you to help me.
Do you want to do it again? What wedding gown? Qiao Mu, are you kidding me? Did you really treat me as your model?! No, no matter what, I cant go up and embarrass myself again. Its useless to use Eldest Brother to pressure me. You didnt even see the look in Third Brothers eyes when he looked at me! Ling Xi felt angry just thinking about it. The judge even dared to say that he was her type. If it was any other time, if someone dared to tease him like this, he would have cut the other party into pieces long ago! Qiao Mu put her palms together and negotiated in a good tone. Please! Young Master Ling, Im in the top three because of you. Youre handsome and the judges praised you. Please be a good person to the end and help me onest time! Dont tter me. Im not your uncle who can be fooled by a few words of ttery. Besides, Im not interested in an unlikeable woman standing beside me. Ling Xi nced at Ye Nuan. Qiao Mu saw that Ling Xi was not going to listen to her soft approach, so she could only change her attitude. Ling Xi, you invited Li Yans rumored fiance to your mothers birthday party and arranged her to be by Li Yans side. Are you deliberately making things difficult for me? I didnt even digest that meal. Because of this, I had a cold war with Li Yan for two days. Li Yan originally said that he wanted to teach you a lesson, and I was the one who pleaded for you. Now, Im asking you for a small favor. Itll be resolved in a few minutes, but youre making excuses. Im your future sister-inw. Is it really okay for you to treat me like this? Ling Xi was speechless. Ling Xi felt like he was suffocating and couldnt refute. The incidentst time was indeed unintentional. It was only after the incident that he found out that Ji Lan had such a rtionship. If he had known earlier, he would not have dared to call that woman over even if he was beaten to death! At this moment, Ye Nuan raised her chin. Qiao Mu, dont beg him anymore. Lets change to a male model. Although this man is quite good-looking, he doesnt lookpatible standing next to me. He wants to continue with the next round, but I wont agree to it. What did you say?! Ling Xi was annoyed when he heard that. Hurry up and change your clothes. What are you still standing here for? Ye Nuan provoked.
Ling Xi pointed at Ye Nuan and nodded. Since you say so, Im not leaving. Well continue with the next round! Ling Xi walked into the resting room to change his clothes. Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh out loud as she gave Ye Nuan a thumbs up. Youre really something. Provoking actually worked! Ye Nuan smiled. You have to provoke a young master like him a little. The more you beg him, the more he wont give you face. I thought you didnt want to partner up with him? Qiao Mu blinked. Although this young master is quite annoying, the judges are right. His appearance is indeed good. In terms of looks and temperament, he is better than any male model present today. With him around, it will still be helpful to your work. After a pause, Ye Nuan continued, Im going to change first. Dont dy the next round of thepetition. Qiao Mu nodded, and her favorable impression of Ye Nuan increased. This girl was older than her by two years, but she was calm andposed, not mboyant, and had a very good personality. She was lucky to have such a friend. Chapter 727: Work Stolen (4) Chapter 727: Work Stolen (4)
Trantor: 549690339 At this moment, Chi Xia came over with a flushed face. Im so nervous. Its finally over. I dont have anything to do in the next round, right? What? Are you addicted? Do you want to continue? Qiao Mu smiled.
Dont, please spare me. Im not even this nervous when debating in front of so many people in school. Chi Xia took a deep breath and looked down at the clothes she was wearing. This set of clothes is really beautiful. You can give it to me and Ill change out of it. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at her. Dream on. Thepetition works will be recycled and all of them will belong to thepetition organizers. Hurry up and change your clothes. Well watch thest roundter. Yes, yes, I want to witness thepetition with my own eyes! Chi Xia was about to leave when she nced at the runway. Mu Mu, its Ning Tongtongs turn to go on stage. Id like to see what she can design. Its definitely not as good as yours. After Chi Xia finished speaking, the model went on stage. Qiao Mu also wanted to know where Ning Tongtongs confidence came from. Could it be that her abilities had really exploded? The first set of clothes was a couples outfit. The color matching design was not bad, but it was not to the point of stunning her. It was a little wishful thinking to rely on such a work to defeat her. Then, the second set of works went on stage. Qiao Mu looked over, and her face instantly paled a few shades as she widened her eyes in disbelief. A male and female model stepped onto the runway. The man was wearing a ck suit. It was hand-tailored to the point. The design was unique and not as formal as the ordinary grooms dress. It was a little casual, but it did not lose its elegance. The womens dress was a bridal gown. It was not amon floor-length wedding dress. Itbined the characteristics of China and the West. The tight-fittingce outlined the perfect curves of the body. The hem was a fishtail skirt. In terms of design, it could be said to be perfect. If Qiao Mu were to give her points, she would definitely give 100 points!
This was because she had personally designed this set of clothes for the final round of the finals! However, it had now be Ning Tongtongs work! Mu Mu, how could this be! This set of clothes, and the one you designed Chi Xia eximed, She giarized your work again?! Qiao Mus face was pale and she could no longer hear what Chi Xia said. The anger in her heart was boiling. She suddenly red at Ning Tongtong, only to see that Ning Tongtong had a confident smile on her face as she was being praised by the other contestants. That look was extremely disgusting! Qiao Mu rushed over to Ning Tongtong, ignoring the gazes of the others as she red at Ning Tongtong. Whats with this set of clothes? Ning Tongtong looked innocent. What do you mean what happened? Qiao Mu, are you overly nervous because my design is perfect? You designed it? Ning Tongtong, did you design this? Qiao Mu roared angrily, and the surrounding people all looked over. Ning Tongtongs expression was devoid of guilt. Qiao Mu, I dont know what I did to offend you. Why are you questioning my work? I didnt design my work. Could it be that you designed it? At this moment, Amy walked over and scolded coldly, Were in the middle of apetition right now. Why are you all shouting? Whats going on?! Ning Tongtong remained innocent. Director Amy, I dont know whats going on with Qiao Mu either.
Chi Xia quickly went forward to support Qiao Mu. Mu Mu, calm down first. Thepetition is still ongoing. Qiao Mu took a deep breath before suppressing the anger in her heart. She had truly lost control of her anger! Chapter 728: Work Stolen (5) Chapter 728: Work Stolen (5)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mus heart was in a mess, and then she heard Ning Tongtongs hypocritical concern. Qiao Mu, you dont look too good. Are you alright? Qiao Mu curled her lips coldly. Do you think Ill be fine?
Seeing the scheming look in Ning Tongtongs eyes, Qiao Mu regretted losing control of herself. Her usations against Ning Tongtong without any rhyme or reason werepletely disorganized, which was exactly what Ning Tongtong wanted. The contestants work had been kept a secret from the beginning to the end. Even the organizers of thepetition did not know what work the contestant had prepared before thepetition. If she used Ning Tongtong of giarism, it was obvious that others would think that she was just spouting nonsense! Without evidence, she could not argue with her mouth! However, she had only shown her designs to Li Yan. Even Chi Xia and Baby Guan had only seen her designs on the day of thepetition. How could Ning Tongtong have stolen them? Something was wrong. Qiao Mu suddenly looked at Key on the judges table. She had identally sent the draft to Keys email. At that time, she had sent an email to exin, but the next morning, she received a reply with only three words:Got it. Qiao Mu did not take this matter to heart at all. She hadplete trust in Keys character. Teacher Key would definitely not leak her work! However, how did it end up in Ning Tongtongs hands? Amy said coldly, Qiao Mu, I dont care about anything. Well talk about it after thepetition. Youve already entered the finals for the championship, so you should focus on thepetition and not on the contestants! Director, Qiao Mu looked at Amy. If the contestants works are simr, how do we resolve it?
What simrities? Amy frowned. Qiao Mu, youve been in trouble ever since the semi-finals. Youve always been suspected of giarism. If your work is simr to the other contestants, are you trying to prove to everyone that youre giarizing? Ning Tongtongs lips curled up sinisterly as a hint of a triumphant smile shed across her eyes. Qiao Mu clenched her fists. Director, why are you so sure that I giarized and not the other party? Thepetition works are all confidential. If the works are simr, theres a possibility that I giarized them, but the other party doesnt? That was reasonable, but Ning Tongtong had calcted it well and showed her work before she did! Amy looked at Qiao Mu expressionlessly. Im just saying if. Why are you so agitated? Could it be that this time, youre simr to another contestants work? Its not identical, its exactly the same! Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtong. Dont you think so? Ning Tongtong looked surprised. Qiao Mu, why dont I understand what you mean? What does it have to do with me? At this moment, Ling Xi and Ye Nuan came out after changing their clothes. Ling Xi was ordered to keep an eye on Qiao Mu so that she wouldnt be bullied, so when he saw Qiao Mu arguing with someone, he immediately walked over. What happened? As soon as Ling Xi spoke, everyones eyes turned to him. When they saw the suit he was wearing, their eyes widened in shock. Ling Xi frowned. Whats wrong?
Ning Tongtong was the first to speak. Young Master Ling, why are you wearing my design? I prepared two sets of this dress. One is for the model, and the other is in the studio. Could it be that you found the model to wear it because you saw that she looked good in it? His words directly blocked Qiao Mus escape route. Qiao Mus expression instantly darkened. Ning Tongtong, I designed this set of clothes and was nning to show it in thest round. Coincidentally, its the same as yours! Ning Tongtong was shocked. Qiao Mu, what did you say? You Why would you take my work into thepetition?! Chapter 729: Competition Results (1) Chapter 729: Competition Results (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu had never seen such a shameless person before! How could he shamelessly say such words!
Chi Xia couldnt take it anymore and took a step forward. Ning Tongtong, youre really a thief crying catch the thief! You know very well who giarized who! If you insist on saying that, then I cant do anything about it. Since it was designed by Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu will continue to use this set of clothes in the next round of thepetition. Itll be a good opportunity for the judges to give me justice. Ning Tongtong was full of confidence. Someone whispered, This Qiao Mu is really gutsy. She imitated Tongtongs work thest time, and this time, shes giarizing it. Its exactly the same! You giarized someone elses work and still have the face to argue. How shameless! Shes just using this method to cover up her giarism. She even wants to pin the me on Ning Tongtong. Someone has to believe it! Hmph, lets see what shes going to do. Shes probably going to be disqualified! Ning Tongtong was indescribably happy when she heard others defending her and attacking Qiao Mu. Your name is Ning Tongtong, right? Ling Xi asked. Did you just say that I stole your clothes and wore them? Ning Tongtong quickly smiled. Young Master Ling, Im not talking about you. Im saying that Qiao Mu stole it Ling Xi raised an eyebrow. Really? Are you sure you designed two identical sets of clothes? Thats right! Ning Tongtong braced herself and nodded. Actually, she only wanted to embarrass Qiao Mu by deliberately saying that she had designed two sets.
Exactly the same as what the model is wearing? Ling Xi asked again. Although Ning Tongtong didnt understand what Ling Xi wanted to do, she still nodded. Then, Ling Xi sneered, Although my clothes are simr to those of the models over there, the cut of the clothes ispletely different. Moreover, my clothes dont have pockets, but yours has a pocket, and Ling Xi then pulled Ye Nuan to her side and pointed at the dress Ye Nuan was wearing. This gown is obviously better than the other one. Thece is different. Even an outsider like me can tell, cant you designers? Ling Xis words attracted everyones attention. If they didnt look carefully, they wouldnt have noticed the difference in these details. Although the design of these two sets of clothes was the same, the materials and production methods were different. It was obvious that they were made by different people. Then, Ning Tongtongs words just now were invalid. Qiao Mus set of clothes was not the one she stole from Ning Tongtong. Qiao Mu only calmed down after hearing Ling Xis words. Ning Tongtongs work was based on the draft she had mistakenly sent to Key. The draft at that time was her first draft, and her final draft was slightly different from that draft. At the very least, Ning Tongtongs attempt to frame her for stealing the clothes could no longer be established! Ning Tongtong secretly gritted her teeth. Young Master Ling is right. This set is indeed not mine. Thats strange. Ling Xi sneered. Dont you have another set of clothes? Then take it out and take a look. If you cant take it out, can I say that you deliberately framed Qiao Mu? Ning Tongtongs expression changedpletely. Young Master Ling, dont spout nonsense. Even if Qiao Mu didnt steal my work, her work is almost identical to mine. Could it be a coincidence?
Ling Xis face darkened. I told you to take out your extra set! Ning Tongtong panicked and red at her assistant. Go get it! The assistant stood nervously at the side. Um, Sister Tong, we didnt What is it? Theres nothing else? Ning Tongtong interrupted her assistant in time. How could it be gone? Who stole it?! Qiao Mu coldly said, Was it stolen, or was it never stolen? Chapter 730: Competition Results (2) Chapter 730: Competition Results (2)
Trantor: 549690339 Ning Tongtong red at Qiao Mu in embarrassment, gnashing her teeth in anger. If Ning Tongtong didnt prepare two sets of clothes at all, then what she said just now was intentionally framing Qiao Mu.
In this way, if two people designed the same work at the same time, there was a 50% chance of who giarized who. However, Qiao Mus reputation wasnt good to begin with, so the suspicion of giarism was greater. Ning Tongtong, its time for the judges to give their marks. You go on stage first. Amy said. As for Qiao Mu, you can use this set of clothes topete in the next round, but youll have to bear the consequences. Qiao Mu frowned. Director, why cant I show my work when theres no evidence of giarism? Theres no reason. I just decided ording to the rules of thepetition. There must be a firste, first served rule. If you want to me someone, me yourself for being toote. So you think I giarized? Amy replied coldly, I dont have the final say whether you giarized or not. Qiao Mu, if youre in the mood to argue about this, why dont you think about thepetitionter? At this time, the second group of contestants had finished their scores. Ning Tongtong entered the next round with the highest score. Qiao Mu knew that she couldnt drag this out any longer. It was impossible for her final piece to go on stage. Qiao Mu sat on the sofa when she returned to her workce, unusually calm. When she had sold the drafts to Ning Tongtong, she had indeed promised not to publicize it to the public. After all, it was a fair trade, so she had not minded what had happened before. However, Ning Tongtong had be addicted to giarism time and time again!
Baby Guan was so angry that she paced back and forth. Mumu, what should we do? Cant we expose that b * tch on the spot? Chi Xia said helplessly, Thats easy to say. We dont have any evidence! Then what should we do? Baby Guan stomped her foot and rushed out. Im going to teach that b * tch a lesson. She really deserves a beating! Chi Xia quickly pulled her back. Dont be rash. This is apetition. Dont cause Mu Mu any trouble. This match is sponsored by Big Brotherspany, Ling Xi said. We just need to ask the sponsor to stop the match and investigate the matter. No need! Qiao Mu stood up abruptly and took out two sets of clothes from her closet. Well use these two sets of clothes for the next round. These were originally designed for Xiaxia and Baby, but since theres nothing else, well have to use these two. Bestie outfits. They match the theme of thepetition perfectly. Qiao Mu handed the clothes to Chi Xia and Baby Guan. size are tailored for you, so Ill have to ask you to No problem! Chi Xia and Baby Guan agreed almost in unison. The two of them were not good at such asions. Without experience as models, they would be nervous and at a loss under so many pairs of eyes. However, they agreed without hesitation. Qiao Mu was touched. True friends could only be seen at critical moments. Baby Guan and Chi Xia immediately went to change and put on makeup.
Qiao Mu did not have the confidence. Although this best friend outfit was not bad, she did not design it for thepetition, so it was a far cry from the wedding dress. Ye Nuan walked over and said, Qiao Mu, dont worry too much. Ning Tongtong doesnt have the ability at all. She relied on your work to advance in the first round, and she relied on her own design in thest round. She definitely wont be able topare to you. I hope so. No matter what the result was, she would not let Ning Tongtong off this time! Chapter 731: Competition Results (3) Chapter 731: Competition Results (3)
Trantor: 549690339 Thepetition was in progress. Chi Xia and Guan Baobei had changed their clothes and put on their makeup. Everything was ready. When Qiao Mu arrived at the front desk, she bumped into Ning Tongtong.
Ning Tongtongs expression was extremely smug and arrogant. Qiao Mu, I really admire you for being able to remain so calm now. Youre really bold to giarize my work. Its a pity that even if you enter the top three, you wont be the champion! Ning Tongtongs expression turned sinister as she gritted her teeth and said,The championship is mine! Qiao Mu sneered. I giarized your work? Theres no one else here. Why are you still pretending in front of me? Im just very curious. Where did you get my drafts? Hmph, what are you talking about? Youre clearly the one who giarized me. Everyone thinks so. Qiao Mu, dont even think about getting rid of the suspicion of giarism in this lifetime! Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtong in disgust. Youre really a stinky fly that wont go through a seamless hole! You! Qiao Mu, you dont have to provoke me. Ill be the one who benefits in the end. Werent you very arrogant before? Why couldnt he be arrogant now? Li Yan helped youst time. I wonder where he is now? Let me guess, he must be apanying his fiance, right? You dont have a backer now, and you still want topete with me? Im going topletely extinguish your arrogance! Previously, because of Li Yan, she was bullied by Qiao Mu. Now, she could finally turn things around. Qiao Mu looked at him coldly. You seem to have forgotten that I have evidence of our transaction. You were the one who bought all the designs for the Tongs brand. Do you think you can be so arrogant in front of me with such a big piece of evidence in my hands? Haha, Qiao Mu, do you really think Im stupid? If I didnt clean up all these things, would I have stolen your work so tantly? Ive already cleared my name! Ning Tongtong smiled proudly. Also, youre curious about where I got your work for thepetition, arent you? You definitely wouldnt have thought that even the heavens are helping me!
After hearing this, Qiao Mu no longer wanted to continue talking nonsense with her. Take care of yourself. Qiao Mu, let me tell you, if you fight me, youll only die! As she thought about Ning Tongtongs crazy screams, Qiao Mu took out her phone from her pocket and ended the recording. Ning Tongtong really thought that she was in the mood to talk nonsense with her. If it wasnt for evidence, she wouldnt even bother to look at Ning Tongtong. At this moment, the third group of contestants had been selected. The other person who had advanced to the top three was Tang Xiaozhu. Tang Xiaozhus silent performance was not surprising, but her works in everypetition were outstanding. There was no break in the middle of the match and the second round was carried out directly. ording to the schedule, Qiao Mus work would go on stage first, followed by Baby Guan and Ning Tongtong. The two of them were not professional, but fortunately, they were dressed in a casual and rxed style, and they only needed to walk around casually. Below the stage, Lu Jingzhi frowned when he saw Baby Guan. This woman actually dared to show off on stage. With so many people staring at her, it made him feel ufortable. At this moment, Ling Xi walked over and sat down. Im going to be in trouble this time. I didnt help Big Brother look after his nephew and got bullied. Big Brother will vent all his anger on me when hees back. Lu Jingzhi red at Ling Xi. Whats wrong?
Qiao Mus work was giarized by another contestant, so she changed her work at thest minute. Thats why Chi Xia and Baby Guan are allowed to go on stage. As he spoke, Ling Xi looked at the two men beside him. Think of something. If Eldest Brother finds out that Qiao Mu has been wronged, youll definitely be implicated. Who asked you to be at the scene but not interfere? Chapter 732: Competition Results (4) Chapter 732: Competition Results (4)
Trantor: 549690339 Lu Jingzhi did not think much of it. If Brother were to pursue this matter, I would have said that I had something to do and did note. Ling Xi was speechless.
Ling Xi looked at Su Chen. Su Chen said nonchntly, Qiao Mu isnt someone wholl let others bully her. Eldest Brother wasnt by her side for so many years, but shes still living well by the Qiao familys stepmothers side. She naturally knows how to deal with things when she encounters them. Dont think of her as so ipetent. Ling Xi pursed his lips. Although that was the case, Young Master Li didnt think so! At this moment, Ling Xis phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he felt terrible. It was one in the morning in the United States. Li Yan returned to the hotel after he was done with his work. He turned on hisputer and yed a video. The video was a live broadcast of Qiao Muspetition. There was no live broadcast of this match on the Inte. Usually, it would only be avable on the Inte the next day. As the sponsor of thepetition, Li Yan naturally had the right to get his exclusive live broadcast. While he was recording, he was directly connected to hisputer. There were only two scenes of Qiao Mu in the live broadcast. One was the opening scene where she went on stage to draw lots for her groups, and the other was the first round of scoring where Qiao Mu advanced. Everything was within Li Yans expectations. He believed that his little woman had the ability to enter the finals. After that, Li Yan did not watch any more of Qiao Mus works. He turned on the video and lowered his head to work.
After calcting the time, Li Yan continued to watch the match when it was thest round. Qiao Mus work was the first to appear on stage. However, when Li Yan saw Chi Xia and Baby Guan on stage and the clothes they were wearing, he frowned slightly. Li Yan had seen the artwork that Qiao Mu had prepared beforehand, and when the little woman finished the artwork, she excitedly ran over to him to show off. At that time, he had even praised her for designing a good wedding dress. It would save them a lot of trouble when they got married in the future and he would let her design all the clothes. Then, he was even rolled his eyes by the little woman and said that he was not serious. In the end, he ran away with a red face. However, the work had changed at thest minute! The camera swept past Qiao Mu, only to see the little womans expression solemn, without the slightest hint of expectation. On the other hand, Ning Tongtong was brimming with confidence, and her gaze toward Qiao Mu was filled with scheming. Li Yans eyes narrowed. He picked up his phone and dialed Ling Xis number. The call went through and Ling Xis weak voice sounded, Yang, its alreadyte at night. Why are you still concerned about sister-inwspetition? What happened? Li Yan asked straightforwardly. Ling Xi yed dumb. What do you mean what happened?
Why did Qiao Muspetition piece change at thest minute? Hearing Li Yans words, Ling Xi felt a headacheing on. Did this man have to be so well-informed? Even from thousands of miles away, he knew everything! Initially, Ling Xi wanted to fool Li Yan, but now, he could only tell Li Yan everything that had happened. She thought that Young Master Li would be angry immediately, but unexpectedly, he only said, Got it and hung up the phone. Li Yan hung up the phone and continued to watch the video of thepetition. When it was time for the judges to give their marks, although Qiao Mu seemed to be standing there calmly, Li Yan could tell that the little woman was nervous. This kind of nervousness was not due to expectations. It was as if she had already expected that the results would not be good, and her eyes were filled with unwillingness. Li Yans expression darkened. He picked up his phone and dialed Lei Yis number. Im going to do something Chapter 733: Missing the Champion (1) Chapter 733: Missing the Champion (1)
Trantor: 549690339 At thepetition venue, the works were disyed and they were waiting for the judges to give their marks. Key nced at Qiao Mu and was a little disappointed. Qiao Mus first round of design was very perfect andpletely disyed her normal standards. However, although this rounds design was not bad, it was not as stunning.
On the contrary, Ning Tongtongs performance was even more outstanding. Key was a little confused because he knew about Ning Tongtongs giarism. However, the judges still gave the scores fairly. In the end, Qiao Mus score was lower than Ning Tongtongs by 0.5 points, and she was the runner-up. When Qiao Mu heard the results, she didnt feel happy at all. Logically speaking, the second ce was already very good. If the opponent was really stronger than her, she was willing to admit defeat! Ning Tongtong raised her chin and looked at Qiao Mu with an extremely happy smile. She extended her hand to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, congrattions on bing the runner-up. Everything was as she had expected. Qiao Mu did not have the guts to bring the same piece of work as hers into thepetition. If she were topete with another piece of work, she would at least be third ce. If she were to take the risk andpete with the same piece of work, she might face the consequences of being disqualified from thepetition. Who asked her to cleverly put that set of works in the first round and show it before Qiao Mu! Who asked Qiao Mu to have no evidence! This was just right. Actually, Ning Tongtong didnt want to make a big deal out of it. As long as she sessfully won the championship, it would be fine. She would receive all the benefits of winning the championship, such as bing a member of the Key studio and participating in the Paris Fashion Week in winter With this champion, she would be able to prosper in the fashion design industry! Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtongs outstretched hand and the hidden provocation in her eyes. She smiled and shook Ning Tongtongs hand. At the same time, she approached Ning Tongtong and whispered into her ear, If you want to be happy, you should be happy now. Because you wont be the champion for long.
Qiao Mus words caused the smile on Ning Tongtongs face to freeze for a moment before she quickly regained her usual expression and said disdainfully, Then lets see if you have the ability! Next, the winners were awarded the prizes and certificates. Ning Tongtong was grinning from ear to ear. Key personally presented the award to Qiao Mu. When he saw that Qiao Mu wasnt very happy, he raised his eyebrows. Why? Are you not satisfied with this ranking? Of course! Qiao Mu raised her head. Teacher Key, wait a moment. I have something to tell you. Ning Tongtong sneered. Even if sheined to Key afterwards, what was the use? Did she think Key would believe everything she said? What a whimsical idea! Below the stage, Baby Guan and Chi Xia were sitting in the audience seats. They were so angry that they wanted to go on stage and beat Ning Tongtong up. Lu Jingzhis thoughts were all on Baby Guan. She was dressed in adylike outfit, which waspletely different from her usual style. She had a different vor to her and it would be even better if her expression was gentler. Lu Jingzhi walked over to Baby Guan. Why are you gritting your teeth? Do you want to use force to help Qiao Mu solve her problem? Baby Guan had nowhere to vent her anger, so Lu Jingzhi came up to join in the fun. She bent her elbow and poked Lu Jingzhis waist hard. Its easy for you to say that. You dont have to use force to solve it! Its not like my woman is being bullied. Why should I be the one to solve it? Even if his big brother was overseas, he would settle this remotely.
Baby Guan looked at him with disdain. If you dont have the ability, just say it. You can stay single for the rest of your life. No woman will be willing to be with you. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. This woman really needed to be taught a lesson! Chapter 734: Missing the Champion (2) Chapter 734: Missing the Champion (2)
Trantor: 549690339 The crowd behind him dispersed and it was a little crowded. Lu Jingzhi hugged Baby Guans shoulders to protect her and pulled her into his arms. Then, the woman punched him in the stomach again without mercy. Lu Jingzhi grunted. Do you have a conscience?
Baby Guan huffed angrily. Who asked you to take advantage of me! Who else would want a vulgar woman like you other than me? Lu Jingzhis tone was filled with disdain. Baby Guan was stunned for a moment before she threw another punch at Lu Jingzhi. However, this time, Lu Jingzhi sessfully held her hand and refused to let go. Baby Guan struggled a few times but failed. She could only give up and red at him. Even if no one wants me, I dont want a second-hand goods like you! Lu Jingzhi frowned, but he was not annoyed. He said faintly, Whether its second-hand or not, youll know after you verify it. Baby Guan blushed and shook off Lu Jingzhis hand. Chi Xia was standing in the audience seats. When she saw that Qiao Mu was about to leave the stage, she lifted her feet and walked over. Coincidentally, there was arge crowd leaving. Chi Xia had only taken two steps when she was pushed back by the crowd. Then, she identally bumped into someone. The person behind her stood still and caught her unsteady body. Chi Xia quickly turned around and apologized. When she turned around, she saw Su Chens face. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted and immediately took a step back to put some distance between them.
Feeling the mans gaze on her, she lowered her eyes and did not know what to say. This was the most awkward thing. She could not treat the other party as a stranger or an acquaintance when they met again. Chi Xia was at a loss. Just as Chi Xia was about to leave, a strong force pushed her from behind. Caught off guard, she bumped headfirst into Su Chens chest. The surrounding crowd squeezed the two of them together. She wanted to keep a distance from him, but she couldnt move. The crowd was crowded, but Su Chens body was as steady as Mount Tai, not moving at all. She lowered her head and looked at the woman in front of her chest. She tried hard to stand up, but they happened to be standing in the crowd. After a while, the crowd finally passed by. Chi Xia finally stood up and looked up at Su Chen awkwardly. Thank you. Su Chen nced at her indifferently, his deep eyes unreadable. The next second, he turned around and left without a word. Chi Xia stood rooted to the ground, staring nkly at the mans back as he left. Once again, she watched him turn around and leave. This was clearly what she wanted. She wanted to be like a stranger and keep her distance, but she could not describe the feeling in her heart. Chi Xia stared at the back of the woman for a long time before she retracted her gaze. When she looked at the runway again, Qiao Mu was no longer there. Backstage, Key threw the folder in his hand onto the table and nced at Qiao Mu. Speak, whats the matter?
Teacher Key, shouldnt you give me an exnation? Qiao Mu said directly. Exin? What exnation? I want you to give me an exnation. Why is thest rounds work inferior to the first rounds work? Did you not expect to enter thest round, so thest set of works was just to fool people? Even though Key was not biased, he still had high expectations for Qiao Mu. This girl was very intelligent, and he thought that she would be the champion. However, he did not expect that his performance in thest round would not be outstanding, which made him a little disappointed. Key acted like he didnt know anything and had Qiao Mu ce the draft in front of Key. Teacher Key, Ning Tongtong stole this work from me, and my draft was only given to you alone. [Let Ning Tongtong be arrogant for two chapters.] Chapter 735: Missing the Champion (3) Chapter 735: Missing the Champion (3)
Trantor: 549690339 Key looked at the draft and frowned. When did you give me this draft? Qiao Mu was stunned. When she saw that Key waspletely clueless, she immediately felt that something was amiss.
She had absolute trust in Keys character, which was why she hade to talk to him about this matter immediately. She had thought that there might be some misunderstanding, but now it seemed that there was indeed a misunderstanding. Qiao Mu didnt exin much. Instead, she opened her phones mailbox and flipped through the mail history of the KEY. Everything was crystal clear. Keys face darkened after reading the email. The recipient was indeed him, and the reply was indeed from his email. However, he had never seen the email before, let alone reply to it. Key looked up at Qiao Mu. Why are you only telling me now? Director Amy knows about this. Youre on the judges bench, so I cant tell you. She wants me to continue thepetition, so I can only change my work to participate in thepetition at thest minute. At this point, Qiao Mu was certain that Key really did not know anything. At this moment, Amy knocked on the door and entered. Key said to Qiao Mu, Go out for a while. Qiao Mu nodded and walked out. When she met Amys cold gaze, Qiao Mu already had a guess in her heart. Amy walked in and saw Key looking at her with a confused expression. Her heart tightened. Key, this Qiao Mu came toin to you after thepetition, right? she asked nonchntly. This girl is full of lies and cant be trusted. I was about to tell you about her too. During thepetition, Qiao Mu giarized Ning Tongtongs work and was exposed. Fortunately, she changed her work at thest minute, and Ning Tongtong didnt pursue this matter for the sake of thepetition. Is that so? Key stood up and walked to Amy. Why are you so sure that Qiao Mu giarized Ning Tongtong? Is there evidence pointing to Qiao Mu? What evidence do you need? Key, arent you being too biased towards Qiao Mu? She was a university student. Although she had some talent,pared to Ning Tongtong, wasnt it obvious who giarized who? Qiao Mu has repeatedly copied Ning Tongtongs works, yet youre still willing to believe her. Youd rather believe her than me? Amy sounded a little excited.
After Amy finished speaking, she looked at Keys reaction. There was no emotion on his handsome face, which made her lose her confidence. All these years, she had been working as his secretary. She thought that she knew this man very well, but sometimes, she really couldnt see through him. Other than work matters, he never told her anything else. Many times, she didnt know what he was thinking because this man had always separated public and private matters. He wouldnt give her a chance to develop further. No, it was because he had never thought about going further with her. He had always treated her with restraint, and she was already used to it. At the very least, he was even more distant from others. Yet, Qiao Mu had to appear and receive special treatment time and time again. This was something she could not ept! Key looked at Amy expressionlessly, and Amy felt very guilty. After a while, she finally said,You know very well what youve done. Just because I didnt say it out loud doesnt mean I dont know. Amy, youve disappointed me. Amys body stiffened and she became even more agitated. Ive disappointed you? Ive always done my best to do things for you, but in the end, I got you to say these words. Did Qiao Mu sow discord in front of you? I was a little strict with her, which made her a little resistant to me. However, you believed her one-sided words and refused to believe me! Chapter 736: Missing the Champion (4) Chapter 736: Missing the Champion (4)
Trantor: 549690339 Keys expression turned cold as he suddenly said, Amy, only you can touch myputer. Amys heart tightened. What do you mean? Are you suspecting me of something? You listened to Qiao Mus instigation, didnt you?
Keys eyes darkened, and his next words made Amy lose her ability to quibble. You deleted all the emails in my mailbox, but you ignored the fact that Qiao Mus mailbox has a sending record. After Amy heard Keys words, the color drained from her face and she turned pale. Key ignored Amys reaction and continued, Qiao Mus drafts were leaked from me. Youre the only one who can touch myputer. I also thought that someone else might have done it, but I remembered that you said that you received Qiao Mus email that morning. You didnt tell me the contents. Amy shook her head subconsciously. Key, listen to me Amy, you gave Qiao Mus draft to Ning Tongtong. What benefits did Shu Xinyu give you to make you do such a thing? Amy widened her eyes in disbelief. You think I was bribed? Ive worked for you for so many years. Cant you feel my loyalty to you? Then why? Key looked at Amy coldly. Because of what? Because of Qiao Mu! Amy raised her voice. Key, youve been deceived by Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu is very scheming. Qiao Mu was the one who spread the rumors about you and Qiao Mu. She photoshopped all those intimate pictures of you and him. Shes willing to do anything to make use of you to increase her poprity. I cant let her seed! Im doing this to help you. You cant keep such a woman by your side! When she saw the scandal, she was furious. Of course, she knew that those pictures were fake. Later on, she bumped into Ning Tongtong by ident. Ning Tongtong saw Qiao Mu contacting the people from the news agency, and Ning Tongtong even took a photo for her to see. After learning about this, she absolutely could not allow Qiao Mu to be the champion of thepetition and stay by her side! Thus, she gave Qiao Mus draft to Ning Tongtong and used Ning Tongtong to scheme against Qiao Mu!
Key frowned slightly. The Amy he knew had always been generous, decent, urate, and capable. She was his best helper, but the Amy at this moment was unfamiliar to him. Key frowned and said coldly, You may leave. Key, youre really good to you. Trust me I dont need a secretary who causes me trouble at work! Amy widened her eyes in shock. You meanYou want to chase me away? Key, Im following you wholeheartedly. Cant you feel my feelings? Why are you so cruel to me? Key watched Amy lose control and left the lounge. He said coldly, Ive always treated you as a working partner. Amy sat weakly on the sofa. How could he be so heartless! If he only treated her as a working partner, then what did he treat Qiao Mu as? In the lounge, Qiao Mu was waiting at the door. The conversation between the two people in the room was clearly transmitted, and she heard it clearly. Sure enough, Amy liked Key. She had always thought that Amy had a different feeling for Key, but she didnt expect Amy to have such a deep misunderstanding of her.
The lounge door opened, and Key came out. Qiao Mu immediately stood up straight, only to see Keys gloomy face exuding a coldness she rarely saw. Key looked at Qiao Mu. You heard everything? Chapter 737: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack (1) Chapter 737: Qiao Mus Counterattack (1)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu nodded and hurriedly exined, Teacher Key, the scandal has nothing to do with me. I know. Key did not suspect Qiao Mu. If Qiao Mu really wanted to create a scandal to increase her poprity, she would not have hidden her rtionship with Li Yan so well.
This girl was not someone who coveted fame and fortune. That was why he cared more about her. Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Keys reply. She then asked, Teacher Key, what should we do? Keys eyes shed coldly. I wont allow a giarist to be the champion of thepetition. Its time to expose everything she has done. Mr. Key, I have evidence of the recording! Keys expression softened a little. He smiled and said, It seems like youre quite flexible with the move I taught you. Of course, I remember everything that Teacher Key taught me! As Qiao Mu spoke, she furrowed her brows. Its just that I cant find a suitable asion to make this matter public. It would be meaningless to expose Ning Tongtong in private. Even if the internal department disqualified Ning Tongtong from the championship, the outside world did not know the details. Others would think that she and Key were colluding. Therefore, he had to make sure that Ning Tongtong had no chance of making aeback! Qiao Mu had never thought of herself as a soft-hearted person. Ning Tongtong had schemed against her time and time again. If she were to be soft-hearted again, she really deserved to be bullied! At this moment, his KEY phone rang. He said to Qiao Mu, Wait a minute, then picked up the phone at the side. The call went through and Key said calmly, President Li, whats the matter?
Li Yans voice came from theputer. Its nothing. I just wanted to tell you that thepetition has ended. As a sponsor, Ive prepared a celebration party and invited some reporters to attend. Key nced at Qiao Mu and asked into the phone, President Li, you must know about Qiao Mus matter. Dont you want to settle it yourself? Li Yan chuckled. Youre the person in charge of thepetition. If I were to take care of such matters, wouldnt I be disrespecting you? Besides, she wants to settle her own matters. I wont interfere. Key was a little surprised and said lightly, Thank you, President Li. This man said that he wouldnt interfere, but this celebration party, didnt it mean that he had already interfered? However, what he did was very skillful. He didnt directly kill the other party with a single blow. Instead, he created an environment and left the rest to Qiao Mu. Did this man really believe that Qiao Mu would handle this matter well? Key walked over to Qiao Mu after finishing the call. Qiao Mu, didnt you just say that you didnt have a suitable ce to retaliate against Ning Tongtong? Now is the chance. At this moment, Ning Tongtong was admiring her championship trophy in the studio backstage. She held the trophy lovingly and asked her assistant to take photos of her. She posed in all kinds of poses and took dozens of photos in a row. Finally, she found two photos that she was satisfied with. She happily posted on Weibo to update her status and tell the world that she was the champion! Ning Tongtong was also considered a popr person on Weibo. She had her own group of fans. Other than those who supported the Tong brand, someizens were attracted by her Weibo content.
Other than the various selfies, there were also updates on work status and the environment for designing clothes. It could be said to be full of positive energy. At this moment, just as thetest news was released, a group of people werementing and congratting her. Looking at those ttering words, Ning Tongtong couldnt help but feel beautiful. Only she knew how difficult it was to win this championship. Chapter 738: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack (2) Chapter 738: Qiao Mus Counterattack (2)
Trantor: 549690339 At this moment, Shu Xinyu entered the resting room. She looked at Ning Tongtong and smiled warmly. Tongtong, congrattions. Ning Tongtong stepped forward and hugged Shu Xinyu. Mom, thank you for your support.
I know, youre the best! Your work is really outstanding. Mom is proud of you. Shu Xinyu praised. Ning Tongtong smiled happily. It was not easy to get all of this! The smile on Shu Xinyus face disappeared. I didnt expect the runner-up to be Qiao Mu. I wanted to grab hold of her and sue her for giarizing your work, but she managed to pass the finals without a hitch! Mom, forget it. As long as she doesnt get in my way, I wont hold it against her for what happened in the past. Actually, Ning Tongtong was feeling guilty. She didnt want to make a big deal out of it, as it wouldnt do her any good. Anyway, the championship was hers. She didnt care about anything else! At this moment, Ning Tongtongs assistant said, President Shu, you dont know this, but Qiao Mus work in the final round today was almost identical to Sister Tongs. Sister Tong relied on that sessful work to win first ce. I wonder where Qiao Mu giarized Sister Tongs design drafts from, and she almost got her way! Ning Tongtong had used Qiao Mus artwork. As long as she and Amy knew about it, no one else would know about it, so the assistant had no idea at all. When she mentioned this, she was still indignant. What?! Shu Xinyus expression changed. Tongtong, is that true? Why didnt you tell Mom?! Ning Tongtong red at her assistant. Who told you to talk so much! Isnt he fine now? Shu Xinyu frowned. Looks like this matter is true? Qiao Mus imitation and giarism over and over again is too detestable. No, she doesnt deserve to be the runner-up!
Ning Tongtongforted her, Mom, dont be angry. I didnt tell you because I was worried that it would affect your mood. Lets not argue with her. She has a backer! Tongtong, youre too kind, thats why youre bullied! That girl Qiao Mu is too scheming. Dont get involved with her in the future. I know, Mom. At this moment, a staff member came in from outside and informed Ning Tongtong, Miss Ning, theres a celebration party this afternoon. You and your family cane. Ning Tongtong was stunned. Really? I havent heard of it before. Its ast-minute event. Miss Ning is the champion, so she cant be absent. Ning Tongtong smiled and agreed. How could she not go? She wanted everyone to be blinded by her brilliance! Qiao Mu left Key and waited for the celebration party in the afternoon. She looked at her phone and hesitated about how to send a message to Li Yan. It was the second half of the night in New York. Li Yan must have fallen asleep. She did not know what had happened to her during thepetition. She should have sent him a message immediately to tell him the results of thepetition, but now, she didnt know how to tell him. Sighing, she put her phone back into her pocket. Forget it, she should settle the matters in the afternoon and contact him at night.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Li Yan! Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment before she quickly picked up the call and asked, Uncle, why arent you asleep yet? I cant sleep because of the jetg. The mans clear and indifferent voice drifted into Qiao Mus ears, and the depression in Qiao Mus heart instantly disappeared. She then smiled. Uncle, dont tell me youre not sleeping because youre paying attention to mypetition? How could you guess that? Li Yan did not hide anything and admitted it directly, which stunned Qiao Mu. Chapter 739: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack (3) Chapter 739: Qiao Mus Counterattack (3)
Trantor: 549690339 You already know? Yes, Im calling you to confirm if my little thing has been bullied and cried. Li Yans tone carried a faint smile and a hint of warmth, causing Qiao Mus heart to instantly feel warm.
In such a helpless moment, just hearing his voice was like a life-saving antidote to her. It turned out that he was really worried about herpetition. He was so busy, but he still had to stay up all night to watch herpetition. The touching feelings in her heart instantly appeared, making her nose ache. She snorted and said in a very rxed tone, You underestimate me. Such a small matter is not worth making me cry. He wasnt by her side, so who was she crying for? She never liked to cry, but in front of him, she was an exception. It seemed that she could vent any emotion she wanted in front of him. Whether they were happy, angry, willful, or sad. Then, a lowugh came from the other end of the phone. I think so too. Only I can bully you until you cry. No one else can do that. Qiao Mu was speechless. Why couldnt she tell that he wasforting her? Was bullying her until she cried something worth showing off about? Suddenly, the mans tone became serious. Have you thought about how to deal with the person who bullied you?
Yes, I have. Do you need me to do it? Not yet. Youre so far away. Do you have that long a hand? It seems like youve underestimated your mans ability. Shall I show you? Alright, I believe you have long hands, but Ill think of a way to deal with this matter. When Unclees back, Ill send my championship trophy to you. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up when he heard Qiao Mus spirited words. Even if he was not in front of her right now, he could imagine her expression. Her big eyes must be shining, as if all difficulties were not a problem for her. Why did his little woman move his heart so much? When she was in trouble, she was not the first to run to him and cry. She was strong and shining. Li Yan leaned back in his seat and crossed his legszily. So, youre nning to use your trophy as a token of love for me? .. Uncle, can you be more serious! Qiao Mus face could not help but turn red. She immediately changed the topic and urged, Put down the phone and go to sleep. Dont stay upte! Youre already ten years older than me, and you stay upte every day without caring about your health. If this continues, when we stand together, others will think that youre twenty years older than me!
Li Yan was speechless. This little thing! She dared to use the word old to provoke him! Li Yan sighed helplessly. He got up and moved to the bedroom. He leaned against the headboard and said in a low and maic voice, Mu Mu, Im looking forward to seeing you propose to me with your trophy when I get back. Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu was truly embarrassed and angry. This man was simply too How could he have the nerve to say such words and ask her to propose to him! No, no, that was not the main point! Who wants to marry you?! Qiao Mu replied angrily. Im busy. Go to sleep! After saying this, Qiao Mu quickly hung up the phone, not giving the other party a chance to speak again. She felt as if her face was burning. This was the first time she had heard the word proposal from his mouth, but it had to be her who proposed to him!
Chapter 740: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack (4) Chapter 740: Qiao Mus Counterattack (4)
Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans smile widened as he listened to the busy tone on the phone. He opened WeChat and sent Qiao Mu a message.
She really wanted to see the little thing blush and be shy, but unfortunately, she was not by her side. Li Yan looked at the time and realized that it was already two in the morning. Thinking of what the little woman had said, he picked up the mirror on the bedside table and looked at his face. Was he really as old as she had said? Li Yan, who had always been very conceited in all aspects, was doubting his looks for the first time. The difference of ten years was indeed an indisputable fact. It seemed that he had to take good care of himself in the future and not stay upte anymore. Otherwise, he would be despised to death by that heartless little thing! After Qiao Mu hung up the phone, her mood became very rxed. She patted her slightly flushed cheeks. She did not need to look in the mirror to know that the blush on her face had not disappeared. At this moment, his phone rang. It was a message notification. She opened WeChat and saw a few words from Li Yan:Little thing, youre shy. Qiao Mu was speechless. For a moment, Qiao Mu felt her face that had yet to cool down be even hotter. This man!
Even though they were thousands of miles apart, he still did not forget to tease her! This was simply too much! Hmph, Ill settle the score with him when hees back! Inside the banquet hall on the second floor of the Abundance of Gold and Jade Grand Hotel, it was magnificent. The celebration party started at five in the afternoon. It was not even five yet, but there were already many people, including entertainment reporters from various media outlets. Qiao Mu was waiting in the side hall for the banquet to officially begin when Ling Xi walked over. Everything is done. Qiao Mu smiled. Thank you, Young Master Ling. Li Yan wasnt around, so you helped me a lot. Ling Xi didnt think much of it. Its nothing. Abundance of Gold and Jade has shares in the Ling Corporation. Its like your own home here. You just need to say hello. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. What a rich man. Thergest hotel in Beijingbined food, amodation, and all sorts of banquets. It could be said to be the most luxurious and grand hotel, yet Young Master Ling directly said that it was like his own home. Ling Xi saw Qiao Mus surprised expression and asked in puzzlement, Qiao Mu, dont tell me you dont know whose property this hotel belongs to? How would I know Qiao Mu subconsciously answered, but she felt something was amiss as she spoke. She blinked. Could it be the Li family?
Youre not stupid, but youre not urate enough. This hotel is jointly invested by the four of us. We have shares in the Li Corporation, the Su Corporation, the Lu Corporation, and my Ling Corporation. After Ling Xi finished speaking, he shot Qiao Mu a disdainful look. Youve been with my brother for quite some time now. Howe you dont know anything? Dont you know how rich my brother is? If youre not after his money, what else can you be after? I really cant see what else he has to attract women other than his wealth. Oh, right, hes just a little handsome. Qiao Mu was speechless. Ling Xis mouth really deserved a p! He did not dare to say such words in front of Li Yan! How could Qiao Mu allow others to badmouth her uncle? She rolled her eyes at Ling Xi. Youre talking about yourself, arent you? So youre still single. Not only is my uncle rich and handsome, but most importantly, hes attractive on the inside. I like his inner self! PfftInside? Qiao Mu, are you joking with me? Ling Xiughed rudely. Chapter 741: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack (5) Chapter 741: Qiao Mus Counterattack (5)
Trantor: 549690339 The smile on Qiao Mus face froze, and then she curled her lips sinisterly. She took out her phone and waved it in front of Ling Xi. Young Master Ling, I think what you said makes sense, so I recorded your words. Ill show it to your brotherter so that he knows how his brothers evaluate him behind his back. This time, it was Ling Xis turn to have an ugly expression on his face. His face, which was originally smiling so widely, froze instantly as heughed dryly. Qiao Mu, I was joking just now. Dont take it seriously.
Im serious. Qiao Mu smiled. Dont sow discord between us brothers! So you two are brothers. I thought you had a grudge against him after you insulted him so much. Qiao Mus tone was neither hurried nor slow as she shook her phone. Ling Xi didnt dare to be arrogant anymore. Sister-inw, please forgive me. Sister-inw? Youre making me old. Sister-inw. Could it be that Im ranked the lowest? Do you have several sisters-inw? Ling Xi was speechless. Ling Xi didnt expect to be threatened by a little girl in this life! The woman in front of him was really ck-bellied! He originally thought that Qiao Mu was just a little white rabbit raised by his elder brother, but now it seemed that he was really blind. Even if she was just a rabbit, she would still be tainted by her ck-bellied nature after living with a fox all day long!
Moreover, how could he underestimate a rabbit that could take down an old fox? Ling Xis attitude waspletely sincere. Sister-inw, I saw that you were unhappy, so I was teasing you on behalf of my brother. If you give this recording to my brother, Im dead. You dont know, hes too petty. He doesnt show any mercy to his brothers. On ount of me being your model and running errands for you today, please be magnanimous! Seeing the dignified Young Master Ling being so respectful in front of her, Qiao Mu really couldnt help but want tough. This sense of superiority was really too great! No wonder Li Yan liked to be ttered so much. It turned out that the feeling of being high and mighty was really addictive! Qiao Mu kindly said, I ept your apology, but I didnt record it. I was lying to you. Huh? Theres a recording on your phone! A cold glint shed across Qiao Mus eyes. This recording is important evidence for myeback today! Ling Xi was instantly furious. Damn it, he had been yed! However, from the looks of it, Qiao Mu really did have a bit of Li Yans shadow. Neen years old was the age of maturity. It seemed that Young Master Li had inherited his little white rabbit character and walked down the wrong path. The banquet officially began, and a beautiful tune was yed in the banquet hall. Ning Tongtong was wearing a bright red dress that dragged the floor. She made her debut and was instantly surrounded by people to congratte her.
Qiao Mu was eating dessert to fill her stomach. She nced at Ning Tongtong and found itughable. She really treated this banquet as her home ground, but she was indeed the main character of this banquet. Chi Xia snorted. Look at how arrogant she is. Shes dressed so gaudy. Does she think shes walking the red carpet? No matter how glorious she is now, she will be in so much pain when she fallster. She wont die from the fall! Qiao Mu smiled. That makes sense. I cant wait to see her fall. A voice suddenly sounded from behind her. Isnt this Qiao Mu? You relied on giarism to get second ce. Youre really amazing. Your methods are really brilliant. Tell me how you did it? Qiao Mu turned around and saw An Tings face that was smiling sarcastically. All the previous contestants would be attending todays banquet. Chapter 742: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack (6) Chapter 742: Qiao Mus Counterattack (6)
Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Mu swallowed the food in her mouth, picked up a ss of champagne, and took a light sip. Then, she calmly said, Are you asking me for advice on how to giarize? Im sorry, Ive never giarized before, so I dont know how to teach you. If you want to learn, you can ask Ning Tongtong for advice. An Tings face was full of disdain. Youre really thick-skinned. Even now, you still dont admit what youve done. Whats there to be arrogant about if you only know how to giarize? But thats right. To be able to giarize and be the runner-up, I cant help but admire you!
Chi Xia couldnt stand it anymore. She frowned and looked at An Ting. Youre a woman. Why are you so vicious? Yo, why did you bring a bodyguard? An Ting nced at Chi Xia. Baby Guan flexed her fingers. Auntie, my ck belt in Taekwondo is 4th dan, so its not a problem for me to be Qiao Mus bodyguard. Why, do you want topete with me? An Ting almost exploded when she heard him call her auntie. What did you call me? Auntie, is there something wrong? Auntie is 28 years old again, right? But were only 18 years old now. We really cant understand how twisted the thoughts of older leftover women are. After Baby Guan finished speaking, she even took a sip of champagne. You! As expected, the type of person you associate with is the type of person you associate with! Im magnanimous and wont argue with people like you! An Ting took a deep breath to suppress her anger. She looked at Qiao Mu and continued to show off. Right, why didnt Li Yan show up on such an important day? Dont tell me shes already dumped you? Sister Ting, there are so many people watching. Dont say anything. Tang Xiaozhu said. Tang Xiaozhus words angered An Ting and she scolded her, Tell me, are you not capable? You won third ce in apetition and cant even beat a giarist. What else can you do?! Tang Xiaozhu blushed. She was already very satisfied with the third ce. She did not expect to enter the final round. Qiao Mus brows furrowed slightly. After all, Tang Xiaozhu had helped her out before. Seeing An Tings disappointed expression, she coldly said, Ms. An, Tang Xiaozhu is still the runner-up. You didnt even make it to the finals. You dont seem to have the right to teach her a lesson. One sentence made An Ting gnash her teeth in anger. The surrounding people came to watch the show, and An Tings face turned green and white.
In thepany, Tang Xiaozhu was originally her follower. Now, Tang Xiaozhu had suddenly won third ce andpletely turned the tables! An Ting snorted coldly. Im here to guide my junior. What does it have to do with you? Its a miracle that a yer who relied on giarism to get to the top has the face to stand here! Qiao Mus gaze turned colder. Which eye of yours saw me giarizing? If you continue to nder me, I can sue you for nder! Who are you trying to scare? Go ahead and sue me. Lets see if you have the face to sue me! An Ting rolled her eyes,pletely disregarding Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu waved at the waiter beside her. Ill have to trouble you. Please call the banquets security over. Someone is causing trouble here. An Ting never expected Qiao Mu to be so serious. Her face paled, and it was needless to say how unsightly it was. Qiao Mu, please forget about it for my sake, said Tang Xiaozhu hurriedly. Since Tang Xiaozhu had spoken, Qiao Mu could only let it go and not pursue the matter any further. The surrounding onlookers were originally watching with the mentality that Qiao Mu had been dealt a blow, but who knew that Qiao Mus casual words would infuriate An Ting to death. Chapter 743: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack (7) Chapter 743: Qiao Mus Counterattack (7)
Trantor:549690339 They were all contestants of somepetitions. Previously, An Ting was indeed a little unreasonable and arrogant just because she had some ability. However, who knew that she would not even pass the finals? Now that she was attacked by Qiao Mu, it was exactly what they wanted. After all, Qiao Mus giarism of Ning Tongtongs works was only half-true and half-false. They had only heard about it and never had any evidence, so the people around them did not say anything.
At this moment, Ning Tongtong walked over. Because she was the main character of the day, everyone was surrounding her andplimenting her. It was as if as long as she stood beside Ning Tongtong, she would be able to bask in some light. Ning Tongtong walked step by step to Qiao Mu, and the people beside her automatically made way for her. At this moment, An Ting seemed to have found a backer and moved closer to Ning Tongtong. Tongtong, Qiao Mu giarized your work. How could you let her secure the runner-up spot?! Ning Tongtong smiled disapprovingly. Im not the person in charge of thepetition. No matter how dissatisfied I am, I can only ept the truth. Fortunately, theres still a trace of fairness in thepetition. Thats why I won the championship. Ning Tongtongs words were hinting that she, the champion, was dissatisfied with the runner-up because Qiao Mu had giarized! Qiao Mu curled her lips coldly. Ning Tongtong, since youre so displeased with me, do you want to sue me now? I just dont want you to be too embarrassed. Qiao Mu, you should be more sensible. Ning Tongtongs words were very generous and appropriate! An Ting quickly added fuel to the fire. Tongtong, you cant let Qiao Mu off. You should sue her until she cant turn over a new leaf, so that she wont dare to giarize other peoples works anymore. Otherwise, who knows how many more victims there will be in the future! Thats right, Anting makes sense. If Qiao Mu really giarized, then she definitely cant be the runner-up! This match has beenpletely ruined by her. I was paired up with Qiao Mu in the final round of the finals. If it werent for her, I would have gotten the highest score, and I would be the runner-up now!
Thispetition is not fair at all! The voices of the group of people were getting louder and louder. Qiao Mu saw the sinister look that shed past Ning Tongtongs eyes, but she pretended to be very understanding on the surface. She smiled and said, Forget it, its useless for you to express your opinions here. After all, Key is in charge of thepetition. Key has the final say in everything. Since its already over, everyone can only ept reality. Following Ning Tongtongs words, someone suddenly said,Dont tell me the person whos protecting Qiao Mu is Teacher Key? Didnt Qiao Mu and Key have a scandal before? No way, Key has always been known for being fair and just. He wouldnt do something so disgusting, right? Its hard to say. Who asked her to have such a seductive face? Maybe even Teacher Key has fallen in love with her! An Ting sneered. As far as I know, Qiao Mu has more than one or two backers. She even had an affair with Li Yan in the past, but now that its been exposed that Li Yan and his fiance are on good terms, Im afraid that after she was dumped, shes hooked up with Teacher Key again. Although Teacher Key isnt as good as Li Yan, hes a heavenly king in our fashion industry! Qiao Mus expression darkened after An Tings sarcastic speech. She could tolerate others attacking her, but they still wanted to drag Teacher Key into this! At this moment, Baby Guan approached An Ting with a ss of wine in her hand. Then, she threw the nket in her hand and hit An Tings chest. The wine spilled out and the pink dress instantly bloomed with dark red flowers. It was beautiful!
Chapter 744: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack 8 Chapter 744: Qiao Mus Counterattack 8
Trantor:549690339 An Ting screamed and red at Baby Guan. You You did it on purpose! Sorry, my hand slipped. Baby Guan smiled, not apologetic at all.
You! Youre in cahoots. You only attacked me because you felt guilty! Security, quickly call security over! An Ting instantly lost control. She had rented this gown temporarily and had to return itter. What should she do now? Baby Guan wiped her hands with a tissue. Youre allowed to leave your mouth open, but you cant allow my hand to cramp? The security here is very good. They treat sick guests very well. Sick An Tings face was ashen. This was saying that she was sick! An Ting was about to go crazy with anger. She looked at the wet clothes on her chest and left angrily. Baby Guan picked up another ss of wine and nced at Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong was so frightened by her gaze that she quickly took a step back, afraid that the ss of wine would be thrown at her. The next second, Baby Guan raised her ss and took a sip. She praised,This red wine tastes really good. Qiao Mu couldnt help but want tough. Baby Guan had always been fearless and had a straightforward personality. She wasnt afraid of stirring up trouble at all. In such an asion, she should use such direct means with those hypocrites! Ning Tongtong saw Baby Guans rudeness and snorted. Qiao Mu, this matter ends here. I wont bicker with you anymore. Youd better take care of yourself! Qiao Mu smiled lightly. I hope youll be calctive with me. Good! As you wish!
The person who spoke was not Ning Tongtong, butShu Xinyu. As Shu Xinyu spoke, she had already walked to Ning Tongtongs side. Shu Xinyu looked coldly at Qiao Mu. Since you want to bicker, then well bicker to the end. Qiao Mu, this matter isnt over yet. Ill formally sue you through legal procedures! This stepmother was really considerate of her daughter! However, didnt she see the change in Ning Tongtongs expression? It seemed like Shu Xinyu really didnt know. Qiao Mu smiled. Madam Shu, Ill cooperate fully. I just hope that after today, this decision will still be the same. Mom, forget it. Lets not argue with this kind of person. Ning Tongtong quickly said. Tongtong, dont worry. With Mommy here, Ill definitely get justice for you. Qiao Mus lips curled into a mocking smile as she listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter. One was hypocritical and sinister, while the other was a hypocritical and kind mother. It was truly disgusting. At this moment, a light voice sounded. What part are you guys ying? Can I participate?
When Qiao Mu saw who it was, she was stunned for a moment. It was actually Yu Yiduo! Before Qiao Mu could speak, Shu Xinyu greeted her first. Madam Yu, we meet again. Are you interested in this fashion designpetition as well? Of course Im interested. Although I didnt go to thepetition venue, Ive been paying attention from the beginning to the end. Yu Yiduo smiled and her gaze fell on Ning Tongtong. Your daughters performance is not bad! Ning Tongtong was delighted. Thank you for yourpliment, Auntie. Yu Yiduo looked at Qiao Mu and took the opportunity to pinch Qiao Mus cheeks. Little beauty, your performance was great. I really like the clothes you designed. When are you going to design a set for me? Qiao Mu was speechless. He actually called her a little beauty. Ms. Yu pretended not to know her. What was going on? Also, was it really okay to pinch her face so casually on such an asion? Since that was the case, Qiao Mu could only nod cooperatively and smile. As long as you like it, I can design it for you anytime.

Trantor:549690339 Yu Yiduos actions made Ning Tongtongs eyes sh with jealousy. That was Li Yans mother. Shouldnt Yu Yiduo hate Qiao Mu, the mistress?
Shu Xinyu looked at Yu Yiduo and smiled, Ms. Yu, youre really lucky now. Your son already has a fiance. I think your son will get married soon, right? Qiao Mu raised her brows when she heard Shu Xinyus words. Clearly, the other party was stirring up trouble. Yu Yiduoughed. You even know that? It seems that you are very interested in our familys private affairs. Shu Xinyu felt awkward. I just saw your son and future daughter-inw being exposed. Is there? How would I know when they will be exposed? Yu Yiduo nced at Qiao Mu. However, youre right. Its true that they have a future daughter-inw, but unfortunately, they dont n to get married for the time being. That was because her daughter-inw was not old enough to get married! Yu Yiduo wondered if she should ask Li Yan to change Qiao Mus age on her household register and quickly register it. Shu Xinyu probed,Why dont you n to get married? Does your son still have other thoughts? Yu Yiduos expression turned serious. President Shu, youre really worried about my family. But youre thinking too much. My son and daughter-inw have a good rtionship. Upon hearing this, Shu Xinyu smiled. Thats good. Young people nowadays have wild thoughts. Fortunately, Young Master Li is a loyal person. Auntie, dont you know Qiao Mu? Ning Tongtong took the opportunity to speak. She seems to have a good rtionship with Young Master Li.
Yu Yiduo frowned. This mother and daughter pair dared to bully her adorable daughter-inw! Yu Yiduo sized up Qiao Mu. Who wouldnt like such a cute girl? I like her very much anyway. Why dont you be my daughter-inw? Qiao Mu was speechless. Ms. Yusical mood came back. Ning Tongtong clenched her fists tightly. Why was it different from what she had imagined? He originally thought that Yu Yiduo would make things difficult for Qiao Mu, but he didnt expect her attitude toward Qiao Mu to bepletely different! As Yu Yiduo spoke, she nced at Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong. Is there anything else? If theres nothing else, I want to talk to the little beauty alone. He didnt give her any face and directly chased her away. Shu Xinyus expression turned ugly. After all, she had the identities of Mrs. Ning and President Shu. She had always been respected by others, but this Yu Yiduo didnt give her any face at all! Shu Xinyu left with Ning Tongtong, and Ning Tongtong was furious. Mom, why is Yu Yiduo so passionate towards Qiao Mu?! Did she forget about Qiao Mu and not know about Qiao Mus rtionship with Li Yan? Shu Xinyu was also very puzzled. She turned to look at Qiao Mu and saw that Yu Yiduos expression was solemn. She was somewhat fierce toward Qiao Mu and was saying something, but Qiao Mu lowered her head and didnt say a word.
Shu Xinyu smiled faintly. Looks like this Yu Yiduo really cares about her face. She cant control her own sons private life, so she can only pretend that she doesnt care about other peoples face. See, once we left, her attitude towards Qiao Mu changed. When Ning Tongtong saw this scene, she instantly felt happy. On the other side, Yu Yiduo red fiercely at Qiao Mu. Mumu, what do you want me to say about you? You suffered so much during thepetition and were bullied by others, yet you kept quiet. Didnt I tell you to tell me if you have anything to say? Auntie, its not that Im embarrassed to trouble you. I can resolve this matter myself. Uncle knows and supports me. Qiao Mu coaxed softly. Chapter 746: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack (10) Chapter 746: Qiao Mus Counterattack (10)
Trantor:549690339 Humph! Yu Yiduo was very unhappy. Dont use your uncle to pressure me! Qiao Mu lowered her head pitifully. Auntie, dont be fierce to me. I was bullied by someone just now. If you continue to be fierce to me, Im really going to cry.
Yu Yiduo was speechless. Was she really that fierce? She was just venting her dissatisfaction. She really didnt me her daughter-inw! Yu Yiduos attitude immediately changed drastically, and she kept coaxing Qiao Mu, saying all sorts of nice things. However, when he saw Qiao Mu smiling happily, he knew that he had been tricked! She was really angry and helpless. She finally understood how it felt to have her sonpletely controlled! Who asked her precious daughter-inw to be so lovable! Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo coaxed each other for quite a while, thinking that they still had to settle some serious matterster. After coaxing each other for a long time, Yu Yiduo finally left with a peace of mind. Qiao Mu looked at the time. The banquet had already started more than half an hour ago, and it was currently the peak period. She saw Ning Tongtong go to the bathroom and followed her. The bathroom was empty except for Ning Tongtong.
When Qiao Mu entered, Ning Tongtong was taking out a tissue to wipe the water off her hands before touching up her makeup with a powder puff. When Qiao Mu walked behind Ning Tongtong, Ning Tongtong stopped and nced at Qiao Mu through the mirror. A sinister smile appeared on her face. Qiao Mu, are you especially unwilling to ept this? Everyone thinks that you giarized. It doesnt feel good to be framed and misunderstood, right? Qiao Mu curled her lips coldly. I also want to ask you, does it feel especially good to be ttered by others? However, Im afraid you wont be happy for long. Ning Tongtong did not think much of it. You cant win against me, so you want to be quick with your words? If you think this will make you feel better, then vent to your hearts content. It wont change the fact that Im the champion anyway! Qiao Mu took out her phone from her handbag. Do you think Im here to find you because I have nothing better to do? Without evidence, how can Iugh at a time like this? Ning Tongtong was stunned for a moment before sheughed. You have evidence? Then show me the evidence! Who are you trying to scare? Let me tell you, no matter how much you torture yourself, you wont be able to turn things around. In the end, the person who wins is me! Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtong as if she was looking at a clown and immediately yed the recording. Ill let you listen to a recording. After you listen to it, you wont be so confident anymore. At the same time as the recording began, Qiao Mu reached for the microphone in her bag. Ning Tongtong initially did not believe it and thought that Qiao Mu was bluffing. However, when she heard the contents of their conversation in the recording, her expression instantly changed! The recording clearly recorded her confession of giarizing Qiao Mus work. After listening to it, Ning Tongtongs face had already turned pale. No! How could this be! She did not expect Qiao Mu to have such a trick up her sleeve!
Qiao Mus lips curled up coldly. Ning Tongtong, you said this yourself this morning. You shouldnt have forgotten, right? You definitely didnt expect things to turn out like this. I didnt expect it either. I didnt expect you to be so shameless to the point ofpletely twisting the truth! Ning Tongtong stared at Qiao Mu in despair, her face as pale as a sheet of paper. She shook her head hard. She could not let this recording leak out! She pounced forward and snatched Qiao Mus phone before smashing it against the wall. In an instant, the phone waspletely scrapped. Hahahaha Ning Tongtong raised her head and burst intoughter. Qiao Mu, youre too stupid. You yed a recording in front of me alone. Now that my phone is destroyed, theres nothing left! Chapter 747: Qiao Mu’s Counterattack 11 Chapter 747: Qiao Mus Counterattack 11
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu smiled instead of getting angry, and her expression immediately darkened. Ning Tongtong, dont you feel guilty when youre facing me? I designed all of your designs for the best-selling Tongs, and even your designs for thepetition were giarized from me. Yet, you can act so confidently in front of me. I really want to know what kind of attitude you have. When Ning Tongtong saw that the evidence had been destroyed, a smug smile appeared on her face as she looked at Qiao Mu with contempt. I feel guilty? Why should I feel guilty? Qiao Mu, dont forget that I gave you the money. I didnt fight for it or snatch it. It was mine in the first ce, and I have a clear conscience. Why are youining here? In the end, its all because youre short of money to sell your work. Why are you ming me?
Yes, youre right. Im responsible. But what about the final piece? You giarized my work for thepetition, and you still feel that you have a clear conscience? Do you think its natural for you to be the champion? Qiao Mu questioned. Upon hearing Qiao Mus words, Ning Tongtongs expression was already twisted as she red fiercely at Qiao Mu. Plundering? Who would believe that I giarized your work? Hurry up and tell everyone that I giarized your work! Ha, what a joke! If you want to talk about giarism, youre the one who giarized me. In everyones eyes, I, Ning Tongtong, am the champion, and you, Qiao Mu, are the one suspected of giarism! Qiao Mu truly felt that Ning Tongtong was hopeless. This woman was only three years older than her, yet her thoughts were so twisted that it made her feel disgusted. Thinking about how she had sold her hand-drawn drawings to such a person, it was toote for regret! Qiao Mu ced her handbag next to the sink and slowly washed her hands. Ning Tongtong, there are no eternal secrets in this world. Everyone will soon find out about the disgusting things youve done. Qiao Mu, let me tell you, all of this belongs to me, so dont dream of snatching it back. Your phone is useless now, so lets see what evidence you can produce. If you want to sue me, then Ill apany you to the end. No matter what, your father is the chairman of the Qiao Corporation. Who would believe that you would be short of money to sell your drafts? By the way, its said that the Li Group has already started to acquire the Qiao Group. Youve been used for so long and you still think youre a treasure. If I were you, I wouldnt have the face toe out and meet people! At this point, Ning Tongtong tidied up her gown and gracefully swayed it in front of the mirror. Her tone was filled with fake apology as she said, I cant continue to apany you. There are still people waiting for me outside. Im the champion. Without me, this banquet will be meaningless. Qiao Mu curled her lips and wiped her hands clean. She turned off the microphone in her bag and said to Ning Tongtongs back, Ning Tongtong, Ive prepared a surprise for you. Ill let you have a good taste tonight. As she spoke, Qiao Mu squatted down to pick up the broken phone. She sighed and muttered to herself, Such a good phone. What a pity. Uncle had to change her phone again!
Ning Tongtong frowned and turned to re at Qiao Mu,pletely unable to understand what she was trying to do. She was clearly so arrogant in suppressing Qiao Mu, yet Qiao Mu was not angry at all. She looked as if she was Mrs. Qiao, which made her very puzzled. She thought about it again and felt that she was overthinking things. Why should she care about Qiao Mus mood? She only wanted to be happy. Ning Tongtong pushed open the bathroom door and walked out elegantly. Chapter 748: The Truth Is Revealed, Ning Tongtong Embarrassed (1) Chapter 748: The Truth Is Revealed, Ning Tongtong Embarrassed (1)
Trantor:549690339 Five minutes ago, in the banquet hall, the music suddenly stopped. There was a sudden noise in the yer, followed by the sound of two people conversing. Every word spoken in the washroom was transmitted through the microphone in Qiao Mus bag from the yer in the hall.
Ning Tongtongs every word rang out clearly. Her arrogant and vicious words filled the entire hall. For a moment, everyone listened to the conversation in surprise and lost their reaction. No one had expected such a good show to suddenly happen. Initially, Qiao Mu was suspected of giarism, but now, the tables had turned. The real giarist was actually Ning Tongtong! Ning Tongtongs public image had always been gentle and polite, but who would have thought that she would have such a vicious face? Everything was going ording to n. Chi Xia and Baby Guan looked at each other and felt relieved. The two of them gloated and clinked their sses together before taking a sip of wine in celebration. This time, Ning Tongtong was really done for! When Shu Xinyu heard Ning Tongtongs words, her face was filled with disbelief. She ran to the banquet manager and angrily scolded them to turn off the yer, but no one listened to her until the conversation ended. The hall was quiet for a moment before it erupted into an uproar. Ning Tongtong came out of the bathroom and walked back to the hall with elegant steps. However, she realized that everyone was looking at her strangely. She was a little surprised, but then she curled her lips and maintained her elegance. She must have been gone for too long, and they were all looking for her, the main character. She must be so free that she would waste so much time talking nonsense with Qiao Mu in the washroom and dy her uing social gathering.
She was the star of the day. There were so many people present, so many colleagues, so many reporters, and everyones focus was on her. She had to enjoy this important moment. Ning Tongtong saw Shu Xinyu and noticed that Shu Xinyus expression was grave. She was frowning as she walked towards her. Just as Ning Tongtong was puzzled, a group of reporters swarmed up and surrounded her. Ning Tongtong was delighted. Logically speaking, the interview should have waited until the end of the banquet. These reporters were too impatient. They were fighting to interview her now! Miss Ning, is what you said just now true? How are you going to exin this to us? Ning Tongtong didnt understand what the reporter meant. She tried to maintain her image whileforting the reporters. Dont push. Its not time for the interview yet. Dont be anxious. If you have any questions, take your time. Ill answer them one by one. Qiao Mu, who had juste out of the washroom, happened to see this scene. She felt that Ning Tongtong was like a clown, and her appearance was extremelyughable. Did she think that she was being interviewed because she was popr? Immediately after, the reporters questions filled the air.Miss Ning, did you giarize another contestants work? Is it true that you relied on giarism to win the championship? Did you buy all the designs for the Tongs? Was your conversation just now true?
Ning Tongtong, you admitted it yourself just now. Do you have anything to exin now? Ning Tongtong, shouldnt you give up the championship title Ning Tongtong Ning Tongtong could no longer hear what the reporters were saying. She stood stiffly in the crowd, her eyes wide open in fear. What was going on? What was going on? No, she could not panic! Ning Tongtong bellowed, What are you talking about? Shut up! Dont use me! Chapter 749: The Truth Is Revealed, Ning Tongtong Embarrassed (2) Chapter 749: The Truth Is Revealed, Ning Tongtong Embarrassed (2)
Trantor:549690339 Ning Tongtong, the reporter said sarcastically, all of us heard what you said just now. Our filming equipment has recorded it. Do you still not want to admit it? You just said that Qiao Mu has no evidence to sue you. Your conversation is the evidence. Dont tell us that the person who spoke just now wasnt you!
Ning Tongtong, say something! Werent you very arrogant just now? To tantly rely on giarism to win the championship, could it be that he relied on the Ning familys power to collude with thepetition? Ning Tongtongs face turned pale when she heard the reporters words. She must be dreaming. It couldnt be. How could these people know what she and Qiao Mu had just said?! However, just as Ning Tongtong was unwilling to ept reality, the reporter pulled out the recording from earlier and reyed the conversation. I didnt say that. Dont frame me. I can sue you for nder! Ning Tongtong lost control and pushed the reporter away. This push was fine, but the reporter was pushed to the ground. In an instant, the atmosphere became even more heated. He thought that there wouldnt be much news to gossip about in a match, but who knew that he would find such a big piece of news. The person involved even pushed the reporter down in embarrassment. There would be plenty of headlines tomorrow! The reporters continued to jeer, Ning Tongtong, if its not true, why are you so agitated? Are you feeling guilty? Ning Tongtongs face was pale. Why would I feel guilty? You want to frame me based on a conversation? The voice can also be faked! Ning Tongtong would never admit it. Even if she had enough evidence, as long as she didnt admit it, no one could do anything to her! Suddenly, a sharp-eyed reporter spotted Qiao Mu. Isnt that Qiao Mu? Ning Tongtong giarized her work! At this moment, a group of reporters rushed in front of Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, tell me what happened. Is it true that Ning Tongtong giarized your work? Why have you been selling her drafts privately?
Did she win thepetition with someone from the inside? Is there an unspoken rule in yourpetition? Faced with the reporters menacing questions, Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Im sure you all heard my conversation with Ning Tongtong just now. I wont exin this matter any further. Ill directly sue Ning Tongtong for giarism and protect my rights. As for other matters, I dont know much about them. Im sorry, but I cant answer your questions. Qiao Mus attitude was amiable, and she did not put on any pretense or exaggerate. She merely said that she would sue Ning Tongtong and blocked all the questions. The reporters looked at Qiao Mu and then at Ning Tongtong. They were on twopletely different levels. The reporters would rather believe Qiao Mu based on their attitudes toward the matter, so they did not press them any further. In the blink of an eye, the reporters started attacking Ning Tongtong again. Ning Tongtong had already gone mad from anger. She had always been a flower in a greenhouse, protected by her family. Now that she was caught off guard and met with such an unexpected turn of events, her mental endurance instantly crumbled. She red at Qiao Mu with fiery eyes and roared, Qiao Mu, shut your mouth! Youre spouting nonsense! Qiao Mus expression was indifferent. Ning Tongtong, Ill see you in court. You Ning Tongtong saw the reporters looking at her with disdain and said in a panic,Dont listen to her. This woman is full of lies. She giarized me. She framed me. I didnt giarize her! Chapter 750: The Truth Was Revealed, Ning Tongtong Was Embarrassed (3) Chapter 750: The Truth Was Revealed, Ning Tongtong Was Embarrassed (3)
Trantor:549690339 At this moment, Key walked over. The reporters eyes lit up as they felt that a good show was about to begin. Key, whats your stance on this? the reporter asked. Are you siding with Ning Tongtong for cheating?
The sponsor of thest round was Xinyu Clothing Company. Could it be that you were bribed by them? Ning Tongtong seemed to have found her savior as she threw herself in front of Key. Key teacher, please help me exin. They all believe Qiao Mus words. I won the championship with my own results, and its not like what Qiao Mu said! Key ignored Ning Tongtongs words and said coldly to the reporters, Ive only just found out about this as well. Ourpetition organizers will investigate this matter thoroughly and temporarily revoke Ning Tongtongs qualification to be the champion. If what Qiao Mu said is true, Key Studio will officially ban Ning Tongtong and return the championship title to Qiao Mu. Ning Tongtong widened her eyes and shook her head hard. She couldnt believe what she had just heard. Disqualify her from the championship? How could this be! She was the champion, and no one else could snatch her championship away! How could she give up the championship that she had won with great difficulty to someone else! Qiao Mu! It was all this sinister womans fault. She had actually schemed against her and ruined her ns! Ning Tongtong furiously pounced at Qiao Mu. There were too many reporters around her, and the road waspletely blocked. Ning Tongtong pounced forward, and someone stepped on the hem of her dress, causing her to fall to the ground. The bright red gown draped over Ning Tongtongs body, making her look extremelyical. Her disheveled appearance waspletely different from when she first entered the venue. No one was kind enough to go up and help her. The reporters formed a circle and kept taking photos of Ning Tongtong. Qiao Mu retracted her gaze and withdrew from the crowd. When she saw Ning Tongtongs miserable and embarrassed appearance, she felt no sympathy at all and only felt that she deserved it!
When he came to Chi Xia and Baby Guan, the two of them were already blushing and gloating at the scene. Whats wrong with you guys? Qiao Mu asked. I feel like I drank too much. Baby Guan chuckled. Were celebrating for you. Youve finally defeated Ning Tongtong! Chi Xia nodded. This show is too enjoyable to watch. Youre reaping what you sow! As they spoke, the two of them clinked their sses again. Qiao Mu was speechless. These two really knew how to enjoy themselves. They enjoyed the show while tasting the wine. Since the matter was settled, Qiao Mu had no intention of staying there. She dragged Chi Xia and Baby Guan to the lounge at the back of the hall. When she left the hall, she turned back to nce at Ning Tongtong. She saw Shu Xinyu stepping forward to help Ning Tongtong out of the predicament. As for the oue, she was not interested. At this moment, Su, Lu Jingzhi, and Ling Xi were ying poker in the lounge to pass the time.
Lu Jingzhi asked as he yed his cards, Little Four, arent you going out to see how Qiao Mu is handling the matter? If you get bullied again, big brother will definitely not let you off. Ling Xi did not think much of it. Ive got people watching. A little fox trained by an old fox wont be at a disadvantage. Our sister-inw is not easy to deal with. You only just realized? Su Chen said lightly. My eyes are bad. Ling Xi was speechless. Ling Xi suddenlyughed. Second Brother, Im just wondering why youre here with us to kill time. The mistress wanted to keep an eye on his fiance who had canceled the engagement. Who were you going to keep an eye on? I heard that you have nothing to do with Chi Xia anymore? As soon as she said this, Lu Jingzhi began to gloat. He was magnanimous and did not care about Ling Xis bbermouth, but he actually poked at Second Brothers wound. Chapter 751: The Truth Is Revealed, Ning Tongtong Embarrassed (4) Chapter 751: The Truth Is Revealed, Ning Tongtong Embarrassed (4)
Trantor:549690339 Su Chens face darkened, and Ling Xi felt like he had said something wrong. Just as Ling Xi was about to say something to fool her, someone knocked on the door. He immediately got up to open the door, only to see Qiao Mu standing outside with a person in each hand.
Has the matter been resolved? Ling Xi asked. Qiao Mu nodded and carried Chi Xia and Baby Guan into the house. When she saw the two men in the house, she was stunned for a moment before greeting them. Whats wrong with these two? Ling Xi asked again. Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi looked over. One of them had a cold expression while the other frowned. Qiao Mu ced the two of them on the sofa. They drank too much to celebrate with me. Ling Xi was speechless. Baby Guan humphed, Mu Mu, I didnt have much. How can I stay away from the wine at such an important moment? I only had two sses. As Baby Guan spoke, she stretched out her hand and drew a finger. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. Was this two cups? His hands and mouth were different. There were two sses of wine on the coffee table in front of her. Baby Guan picked one up and handed it to Chi Xia. She then toasted Chi Xia. Come, Xiaxia, lets continue the celebration. Chi Xia clinked her sses cooperatively and finished the wine. Qiao Mus lips twitched as she watched from the side. They were celebrating for her, but why did it seem like she had nothing to do with it?
Lu Jingzhi stood up and walked over to Baby Guan. He grabbed her hand and said, Youre not allowed to drink anymore! Baby Guan was stunned when she saw Lu Jingzhi. She then noticed that the man was there and pushed him away unhappily. Youre not allowed to do this or that. Arent you being too nosy, Brother? Lu Jingzhi pulled her up with a dark expression and dragged her out. As they walked, he muttered, You really dont let me worry! After Baby Guan was taken away, Chi Xia copsed on the sofa and smiled at Qiao Mu. Mu Mu, Im going to sleep for a while. Im a little dizzy. Qiao Mu looked at Su Chen, then at Ling Xi. Which one of you will help me send Xiaxia back to the dormitory? Ling Xi waved his hand. Im not a busybody. Big Brother told me to keep an eye on you. Im only responsible for sending you back. Qiao Mu looked at Su Chen. Young Master Su, so Ill have to trouble you? Im not free. Su Chen had just opened his mouth when Ling Xi exposed him. Second Brother, you dont have any ns today. Youre very free. Why would you not be free? Qiao Mu smiled. Young Master Su, please help. Xiaxia is drunk. Im still worried about letting her follow Ling Xi. This was the best opportunity to improve their rtionship. Su Chen wouldnt be so reckless, right? Ling Xi was expressing his dissatisfaction with Qiao Mus words when he saw Qiao Mu secretly nce at him, indicating that he could leave.
After leaving the lounge, Qiao Mu waved at Ling Xi. Young Master Ling, thank you for today. I have a chauffeur to pick me up. Ill take my leave first. Ling Xi shrugged. It was good that he didnt need to send her off. After seeing Qiao Mu get into the car, Ling Xi walked toward the parking lot with relief. She identally saw a man and a woman getting out of the car. That woman wasYe Nuan. Ye Nuan held the arm of a young man and the two of them entered the restaurant. Ling Xi nced at her. This woman was stillining that he didnt look good standing next to her. Who was that pretty boy beside her? He was thin and skinny, and was only half a head taller than her. He did not look like a man at all! How could he not be a match for that immature kid? It was simply a huge insult to him! Ling Xi snorted and got into the car. He mmed the door shut and started the car. Chapter 752: Su Chen’s Rage (1) Chapter 752: Su Chens Rage (1)
Trantor:549690339 Only Su Chen and Chi Xia were left in the lounge. Su Chen looked at the dazed Chi Xia and his eyes darkened. The woman was lying on the sofa. Although her eyes were closed, she was not asleep. She would let out a muffled groan from her nose and scratch her face. She seemed to be sleeping very ufortably.
After a while, Chi Xia opened her eyes and looked at the empty room. She shouted, Mu Mu? When she did not get a response, Chi Xia stood up with a frown and walked out of the lounge. Su Chen was sitting on the sofa beside her, but Chi Xia did not notice him. To be precise, she hadpletely ignored him. At this moment, she could not differentiate who was who. Seeing Chi Xia leave, Su Chen followed behind her with a dark expression. It was only when the two of them walked out of the hotel that Su Chen stepped forward to block Chi Xias path. Where are you going? he asked coldly. As she walked out of the hotel, a gust of cold wind hit her. Chi Xia shivered and stared nkly at the man in front of her. Why was he here? He even came up to greet her. Werent they strangers now? When he saw her during the day, he left without saying a word. Perhaps because of the alcohol, Chi Xia smiled at Su Chen. Hi, what a coincidence. Su Chen frowned. Seeing that she was quite drunk, he pursed his lips and dragged her into the car. Chi Xias mind only stayed clear for a moment before she felt even more dizzy. She followed Su Chen into the car in a daze. Chi Xias obedience made Su Chen frown. Wasnt she very rowdy when she was drunk? Why was it suddenly quiet now?
Was she really drunk, or was she just pretending? Su Chen held Chi Xias chin and turned her face towards him. He said in a low voice, Chi Xia, do you know who I am? Who are you? Chi Xia was confused. You dont know who I am, so youre leaving with me? Chi Xia tilted her head and looked at Su Chen, confused. She looked at her nk face. It was fair and clean. Although she had light makeup on, she still looked like a high school student. In the past, Su Chen always felt that Li Yan and Qiao Mu were very awkward when they stood together. They really looked like an uncle and a nephew. Although 28 years old was not old, in front of an 18-year-old girl who looked younger than 18 years old, he always felt that the difference was too big. Wasnt there a ten year age difference between him and the woman in front of him? The difference of ten years was enough to make their livespletely different. Su Chen stared at the woman in front of him. Seeing her lower her head, he held her chin again and made her face him. Chi Xia narrowed her eyes, licked her lips and mumbled, Im thirsty. Su Chens eyes darkened as he stared at the woman licking her lips. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
As soon as he kissed her, he thought of thest time he kissed her. She struggled and rejected him, and he immediately stopped. However, in the next second, the woman in front of him took the initiative to climb up his neck and respond to his kiss. It was as if she had found a source of water and was slowly taking it from him. Su Chen narrowed his eyes and ced his hand on the back of her head, deepening the kiss. This woman had clearly been rejecting her, but she was still flirting with him! After a while, Su Chen let go of her and said in a low and hoarse voice, Chi Xia, are you only so passionate to me when youre drunk? She raised her hand to touch the womans face. Suddenly, Chi Xia opened her mouth and mumbled, Gu Cheng, dont mess around! Gu Cheng Hearing this name, Su Chens face darkened like a storm. Chapter 753: Su Chen’s Rage (2) Chapter 753: Su Chens Rage (2)
Trantor:549690339 Chi Xias thoughts were in a mess. She felt an itch on her face and her consciousness drifted back to the past. She was asleep on the table, and Gu Cheng used her hair to brush her face, teasing her. Therefore, he blurted out subconsciously. When she finished speaking, she realized that she was dreaming, and her expression darkened bit by bit.
Su Chen stared coldly at Chi Xias expression as the fire in his heart burned. This woman had mistaken him for someone else! Su Chen felt all his anger umting in his heart, with nowhere to vent. He pinched Chi Xias chin and said coldly, When youre drunk, can you be very enthusiastic to anyone? Would you mistake anyone for that man? Chi Xia groaned in a daze and did not respond. Chi Xia, since you cant forget him so much, why dont you get back together with him? I gave you a chance to revive your old lover, but you keep appearing in front of me to provoke me! After Su Chen finished speaking, Chi Xia still did not respond. She only frowned, which made him even angrier. The hand that was pinching Chi Xias chin tightened. Chi Xia, wake up! Chi Xia opened her eyes in a daze. Perhaps it was because of the pain, she opened her eyes and slowly regained consciousness. In front of her was a furious face that made her shiver. She looked at him for a while and finally realized that the person in front of her was Su Chen! The pain was getting more and more obvious. Chi Xia suddenly became more clear-headed. She stared at him in shock and pushed him away. What are you doing? What am I doing? I want to ask you what you want to do! Are you treating me like another man again and trying to get drunk and seekfort from me?
Looking at her guarded expression, it was as if he had kidnapped her, which made his anger reach its peak in an instant. Chi Xias face paled. Su Chen, what do you mean?! Su Chen gripped the steering wheel tightly and spat out two words coldly, Get out of the car! Chi Xia clenched her fists. After a while, she opened the door and got out of the car without a word. Why did she get into Su Chens car for no reason? Su Chen watched as Chi Xia got out of the car. Because she was drunk, her body was still swaying when she got out of the car and she walked forward unsteadily. Su Chen felt extremely frustrated. As he watched the woman leave, he mmed the steering wheel hard and quickly got out of the car and walked towards Chi Xia. Chi Xia heard footsteps. Before she could turn around, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Chi Xia, I regret it! Werent you very enthusiastic just now? If youre drunk and asking forfort, then Ill satisfy you! Chi Xias face turned pale. Su Chen, dont do anything rash! It seems like youre really not responsible for what youve done. Who was the person who kissed me passionately just now? As he spoke, Su Chen kissed Chi Xia again. This kiss was passionate and possessive, causing Chi Xias mind to go nk for a moment. The man left her lips and dragged her into the hotel in the blink of an eye.
Su Chen mmed the door shut and continued his passionate kiss. Chi Xia felt dizzy and the alcohol was still lingering. The mans tall body pounced on her with a fanatical aura, as if he wanted to swallow her whole. Chi Xia struggled subconsciously, but she did not stop the mans actions. The kissnded slowly and possessively. Chi Xia felt as if all the alcohol in her body had rushed to her brain and was about to swallow her whole. Chi Xia thought that she must be drunk. At this moment, she actually had the urge to indulge herself. [Dont be impatient. I have something to do during the day. Ill definitely finish updating before midnight.] Chapter 754: Su Chen’s Rage (3) Chapter 754: Su Chens Rage (3)
Trantor:549690339 Sensing Chi Xias obedience, Su Chens movements paused and his expression darkened. Then, he increased the strength of his hands, as if he wanted to crush her. Chi Xia was in so much pain that she wanted to struggle, but it was toote. Su Chen didnt give her a chance at all and directly took her in. Chi Xias body stiffened. This was their second time.
Last time, she waspletely drunk and indulged herself. This time, she kept a sliver of rity. She knew clearly who the person in front of her was, and she also knew who the person she wanted to give to was. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her chin and a cold voice sounded, Chi Xia, who am I? .. Su Chen. Its rare that you didnt get the wrong person! Su Chens sarcastic words made Chi Xias heart tighten. How casual did this man think of her! Su Chen continued. Alcohol is really a good thing. If I want you in the future, Ill just get you drunk so that you can throw yourself into my arms. Chi Xias face turned pale and her hands and feet turned cold. Her eyes shed with anger. Su Chen, what do you take me for? Am I wrong? Didnt you want to numb yourself with alcohol and let me rece the man in your heart? Su Chens movements became more aggressive, as if he was punishing her. Substitute Chi Xia wanted to shake her head, but when she saw Su Chens sarcastic sneer, her heart tightened and she clenched her fists tightly. Get lost! Dont touch me! It was you who lured me. Its toote to go back on your word now!
Su Chen, you bastard! I never said I was a good person! He had always wanted to be a good person in front of her, but she never gave him the chance. She had sessfully aroused his true nature. He had endured it for so long, but in the end, he had used such a method to possess her. Chi Xias heart slowly turned cold. She could not tell if it was the pain in her heart or her body, but the pain was suffocating. She had always thought that she was very loyal to Gu Cheng. Even if she was deceived and even if she said that she had let go of him, Gu Cheng still had a ce in her heart. Letting go did not mean that she had no feelings for him, but it was not enough to affect her emotions. It was just a past of her first love hidden in her heart. It was not targeted at Gu Cheng. Perhaps thest time she had sex with him, it was indeed because of Gu Cheng. This time, she knew clearly what she was doing. She did not treat her as a substitute. She didnt know why, but she didnt want him to misunderstand. She didnt want him to speak ill of her. He had often mocked her before, but that feeling was different from now. The mans actions were rough and filled with anger. Chi Xia bit her lip but did not say anything in the end. When she opened her mouth, she could not help but blurt out shyly. Chi Xia thought that she must be crazy. Why did she have to provoke this man again and again? After a passionate night, Chi Xia fell into a deep sleep. Su Chen squinted at the woman beside him. Even though his body had been vented, his heart was already tense and ufortable.
Thest time, she had taken the initiative to have sex with him under the influence of alcohol, but this time, she had really been forced by him. This woman had been unwilling to be with him from the beginning. Su Chen got out of bed, put on his clothes, and left the room. If he had to face the sadness and rejection she would feel when she woke up tomorrow morning, he might as well leave now and give her some peace and quiet. After leaving the hotel, Su Chen called Ling Xi out and went to Glorious Dark Night for a drink. Ling Xi had just arrived and was surprised to see Su Chen getting drunk. Second Brother, did you break up? [Not in good condition, too inefficient] Chapter 755: Su Chen’s Rage (4) Chapter 755: Su Chens Rage (4)
Trantor:549690339 Wasnt he going to send Chi Xia home? But now, he was getting drunk here. Clearly, something unpleasant had happened. Su Chen nced at Ling Xi coldly. I didnt call you here to talk nonsense. Ling Xi shrugged his shoulders. It seemed like he was heartbroken.
Su Chen still couldnt suppress the frustration in his heart as he drank. The spicy alcohol poured down his stomach, and his mind was filled with that woman. This was the first time Ling Xi had seen Su Chen like this. If his elder brother was like this for Qiao Mu, he wouldnt be surprised. However, his second brother had always been a carefree person who didnt care about anything. Yet, he was here to get drunk. Ling Xi couldnt help but sigh. Love was really scary. No, to be precise, it was the female species that was too terrifying. They could actually make a man be like this. Su Chens phone rang. He nced at the caller ID and ignored it. After the phone stopped ringing, it soon rang again. Su Chen picked up the call impatiently. His voice was normal. Its sote. Whats the matter? Chen Chen, its your birthday next month. Can you go home and celebrate it with Mom? Mrs. Sus voice came from the other end of the phone. Her tone was very light as she discussed. Im not free. It was just three simple words. Chen Chen, you havent celebrated your birthday with Mom in many years. Lets go home today. If you want toe to my ce, why dont I go back to the Su residence? Or if you want to celebrate your birthday outside, I can do it Before Mother Su could finish her sentence, Su Chen interrupted her. No need. I have my own birthday ns. Im busy. Ill hang up first. Mother Su wanted to say something, but Su Chen ignored her and hung up. Seeing Su Chens cold attitude, Ling Xi had already guessed who he was.
Not long after Su Chens father passed away, Su Chens mother remarried with her shares of the Su Corporation. Su Chens mother directly gave Su Corporations shares to her current husband, causing Su Corporation to have internal and external troubles at that time. In the end, it took a lot of effort to reorganize thepany. From then on, Su Chen and his mother were estranged and barely interacted. To liven up the atmosphere, Ling Xi smiled and said,Second Brother, how are you going to celebrate your birthday next month? Do you have any arrangements? How about I help you n it? If you want anything, just tell me! I want you to shut up! Su Chen said coldly. Ling Xi was speechless. How ungrateful! Su Chen was getting annoyed by Ling Xis nagging and he had drunk a little too much. He got up to leave. When he reached the door of the room, a woman walked towards him. It was Mi Rou. When Mi Rou saw Su Chen, a hint of joy shed across her face. Young Master Su, what a coincidence. We meet again. Su Chen looked at him coldly, ignored him, and continued to walk forward. Mi Rou followed Su Chen unwillingly. Young Master Su, I think you drank too much. Do you have a chauffeur? Can I drive you back? Why dont you rest at the hotel opposite for a night? That hotel is my familys property.
Young Master Su, dont you remember me? We met at the restaurant before. Chi Xia and I have the same boyfriend. Young Master Su, whats your rtionship with Chi Xia? Dont be deceived by him. Shes now in a rtionship with Gu Cheng and ruined my marriage with Gu Cheng while being with you. Such a woman is simply too dirty! Mi Rou said fiercely. At the same time, she observed Su Chens expression. Suddenly, the man stopped in his tracks. Mi Rou was delighted. It seemed that he believed her. Chapter 756: Su Chen’s Rage (5) Chapter 756: Su Chens Rage (5)
Trantor:549690339 Su Chen didnt remember who Mirou was. He had some impression of her, but he didnt know where he had seen her before. After hearing her words, he immediately remembered that she was Gu Chengs fiance! Initially, he didnt want to pay attention to this woman, but when he heard her say that she was with Gu Cheng while being with him, the expression in his eyes darkened. He looked at the woman who was courting death in front of him and his thin lips moved. Name.
Mi Rou was delighted and quickly introduced herself. Young Master Su, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mi Rou, Im Ill remember you. Su Chens words made Mi Rous eyes light up. This man finally remembered her! Ever since she broke up with Gu Cheng, she had been bent on taking revenge on Chi Xia. It was all because of Chi Xia that she ruined her marriage. Therefore, she was prepared to start with Su Chen. Su Chen was much better than Gu Cheng in all aspects. A mature man and a college student who had yet to seed in his career were very different, both externally and internally. If she could seduce this man, she would not suffer any losses. At the same time, she could take revenge on Chi Xia. It was killing two birds with one stone! She thought that Su Chen would be a difficult character to get, but she didnt expect him to notice her so quickly! It was just two coincidences! Just as Mi Rou was ecstatic and wanted to take advantage of Su Chens drinking to develop further, she heard the mans cold and gloomy voice. I will make you pay for what you said just now! In an instant, Mi Rou waspletely dumbfounded. She looked at the mans back in shock and could not react at all. After a while, she finally understood what the man meant. Mirou quickly chased after him, but Su Chen had already entered the elevator and left.
Mirou gritted her teeth in anger. It seemed that she had underestimated Chi Xia. She was really a vixen. She was seducing Gu Cheng and Su Chen! The next day, Chi Xia woke up groggily before dawn. She opened her eyes and stared nkly at the ceiling for a while. She endured the pain in her lower body and got out of bed. Then, he realized that there was no one in the room. There was no warmth in the seat beside her. It was obvious that the man had been gone for a long time. She should have leftst night. In an instant, Chi Xia felt suffocated. He left without a word! Last time, she had fled after waking up. This time, he had left without mercy. Was he taking revenge on her? Chi Xias legs went weak as she fell to the side of the bed, her body curled into a ball. Wasnt this what she wanted? There was no need to feel awkward if she couldnt see him after waking up. Yes, it was pretty good. Chi Xia got up and went into the bathroom. She ran a hot bath and washed her body. She looked up and saw the red spots on her skin in the mirror. The red marks reminded her of what happenedst night. At that moment, she could not hold back her emotions and they exploded. She squatted down bit by bit, buried her face in her knees, and started crying silently. What was she doing?
It was a sunny night before, but what aboutst night? Su Chens behavior was already very obvious. He didnt want to continue pestering her. She Wasnt it? After a while, Chi Xia wiped away her tears and put on her clothes. Just as she was about to leave the hotel room, her phone rang. She received a series of photos. When she saw the photo, her face turned pale bit by bit. Chapter 757: Caught in a Deadlock (1) Chapter 757: Caught in a Deadlock (1)
Trantor:549690339 The photo was sent by an unknown number. The two people in the photo were walking in the corridor and seemed to be talking. The woman had a smile on her face, and the man looked down at the woman. The mans gaze could not be seen clearly in the photo. These two people were Su Chen and Mi Rou! Chi Xia tightened her grip on her phone. She knew where the corridor in the photo was. It was Brilliant Dark Night, and Su Chen was wearing the same outfit fromst night.
Chi Xias heart skipped a beat. It was obvious that Su Chen was with Mi Rou after he leftst night! Why were these two people together? Suddenly, he received another message. It was a line of text:Chi Xia, since you stole my Gu Cheng, dont me me for stealing Su Chen! I want this man! Chi Xia stared at the line of words and pursed her lips tightly. Anger surged in her heart. She thought that Mi Rou was sincere about Gu Cheng, but after she and Gu Cheng parted ways, Mi Rou not only did not work on Gu Cheng, but also changed her target and targeted Su Chen! Just to take revenge on her? Thinking about how Su Chen had leftst night and ended up with Mi Rou, she couldnt help but feel anxious. She didnt know if it was because of Su Chens departure or because he was with Mi Rou, but she felt very ufortable. That feeling was so suffocating that she couldnt breathe. It was just like thest time she saw Su Chen being intimate with a woman at the mall. She was caught off guard when she found out that Su Chen had another woman besides her. She could not digest the sudden surge of emotions. She tried her best to tell herself that she didnt care, but she still couldnt ignore the pain in her heart. Unknowingly, everything seemed to have changed. Chi Xias heart was in a mess, so she replied to Mirou with three words, Youre delusional! After Chi Xia left the hotel, she took a taxi back to school. When she passed by a pharmacy, she asked the driver to stop the car. She went into the pharmacy to buy some birth control pills. After taking the pills with water at the entrance of the pharmacy, she returned to the taxi and left.
Chi Xia did not notice that a ck car was following her after she got into the car. The man in the car waited outside the hotel for a long time before he saw Chi Xia walk out. Her eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that she had cried. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. As expected, it was just as he had expected. Halfway there, Su Chen noticed Chi Xia entering the pharmacy. When he saw Chi Xia knock the box of medicine into the trash can at the entrance of the pharmacy, his expression darkened. He only got out of the car after Chi Xia left. When he saw the medicine box in the trash can, his eyes narrowed coldly. The corners of his lips curled up sinisterly. It seemed that he had really made things difficult for her. The first thing he did when he woke up in the morning was actually to take the morning-after pill! She clenched her fists tightly and loosened them after a while. Then, she returned to the car and turned around to leave. After that, Chi Xia and Su Chen no longer had any contact. It was as if that night had put an end to the two of them and they had be strangers from then on. Soon after, Chi Xias period came. Perhaps it was because of the birth control pills, but this time, not only did ite a few days earlier, but her stomach also hurt a lot more than usual. Chi Xia hugged the hot water bag and snuggled under the nket. Her stomach was in so much pain and she was so hungry that she was growling. She turned on her phone and called Qiao Mu. The phone rang for a long time. Just as Chi Xia was about to hang up, the call was finally picked up. Chi Xia said sickly, Mumu, bring me a bowl of beef noodles when you go back to the dormitoryter. My stomach hurts and I need some hot soup.
Chapter 758: A Deadlock (2) Chapter 758: A Deadlock (2)
Trantor:549690339 After Chi Xia finished speaking, there was no response from the other end of the phone. Her stomach started to hurt again like it was cramping and she could not take it anymore. She then hung up the phone. Qiao Mu should have heard what she said. If she didnt, she would call her backter. However, Chi Xia did not realize that the number she dialed was not Qiao Mus.
Su Chen was working in his office when his phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he stopped. On the screen, the name Chi Xia was disyed. This was the first time Chi Xia called him. She had never contacted him before. Thinking of the matter between the two of them, he did not want to answer the call, but he still pressed the answer button. Perhaps this woman was looking for him for something? Before he could speak, a weak voice sounded from the other end. At this moment, Su Chen felt that he was ridiculous. This woman had dialed the wrong number. She wanted to call Qiao Mu, not him! He actually had the thought that she wanted to contact him! The woman on the other end of the phone only said one sentence before hanging up. Su Chen leaned back in his seat and rubbed his eyebrows. The frustration came again. After a while, he took out his phone and logged into the food delivery website to ce an order. In the dormitory, Chi Xia was about to fall asleep when Qiao Mu returned empty-handed.
Wheres my beef noodles? Chi Xia asked. What beef noodles? Qiao Mu was puzzled. I called you to ask you to bring me a bowl of beef noodles. Qiao Mu walked to Chi Xias bedside and touched her forehead. Xiaxia, youre having a fever. Are you confused? When did you call me? Chi Xia pped Qiao Mus hand away and rolled her eyes. I just have a stomachache. I dont have a fever. I called you just now! Qiao Mu took out her phone and was about to look through her call history when she heard a knock on the door. Qiao Mu walked over to open the door and saw a delivery girl standing at the door. This is Chi Xias delivery. Please sign for it. Qiao Mu carried the bag back into the house and concluded, Xiaxia, youre so feverish that you dont even remember ordering takeout? .. I didnt order takeout. Chi Xia was puzzled. She had clearly called Qiao Mu just now, so why was there someone delivering food now? Moreover, it was not beef noodles at all, but a sumptuous variety of dishes and soups. Mumu, I really called you just now As Chi Xia spoke, she opened her phone and searched for her contacts.
Then, when he saw the call log, he was stunned. She had just called Su Chen! So, Su Chen was the one who ordered this takeout for her! Qiao Mu walked over and nced at Chi Xias phone. She instantly understood and teased, Xiaxia, are you crazy about a certain man? Did you call him on purpose? I didnt do it on purpose. Chi Xias expression darkened. What did that man mean? He couldpletely ignore her. Qiao Mu nced at Chi Xia helplessly. It was obvious that there was still some unclear rtionship between the two of them. She waved at Chi Xia. Get off the bed and eat. Thanks to you, I can have a good meal too. Chi Xia held the bowl of hot soup and took a sip. Instantly, her entire body warmed up. She said on the phone that she wanted to drink hot soup, and Su Chen did as she said. Why should he treat her well just because he wanted to? Chapter 759: Caught in a Deadlock (3) Chapter 759: Caught in a Deadlock (3)
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu ate the sumptuous meal and sighed in her heart. It seemed like Su Chen was really interested. However, Xiaxia still didnt seem to understand. Qiao Mu scooped some soup for Chi Xia and reminded her, Drink more. Dont let her down.
Chi Xia was helpless. I cant shut you up even if I eat. Hmph, Im just jealous that you have someone who treats you well. I dont. Li Yan had been on a business trip for many days and had yet to return. There was also the time difference between the two of them, so it was difficult for them to contact each other. Young Master Li has only been away from you for a few days, and you cant take it anymore? Look at how pretentious you are. Chi Xia rolled her eyes. Qiao Mu chuckled. At this moment, Key called and asked her to make a trip to the studio. Two days after the fashion designpetition, the storm was still ongoing. This incident caused chaos on the Inte. The video of Ning Tongtong in a sorry state spread like wildfire, but Ning Tongtong did note forward to defend herself. A lot ofments on Weibo attacked her and scolded her profusely. Simrly, arge number ofizens defended Ning Tongtong, and the two forces that supported and attacked her were arguing on the Inte. Qiao Mu arrived at Keys office and saw the championship trophy on the desk. She walked over and Key handed the trophy to her. Its yours now. Qiao Mu looked at Key in surprise. Teacher Key, is this matter resolved? Key smiled. Yes, the results will be announced soon. Teacher Key, thank you. Qiao Mu gave Key a deep bow. Qiao Mu, its time for you to learn from this incident and protect the copyright of your works in the future. Key reminded.
Qiao Mu nodded repeatedly as she looked at the trophy in her hand. It was truly hard toe by. Ning family. Ning Tongtong locked herself in her room, looking extremely haggard. She took out her phone and logged into Weibo. When she saw the overwhelming negativements, the hatred in her heart almost made her burn. Then, Key Studio released a new message:Ning Tongtong giarized her work, and the evidence was conclusive. Ning Tongtong was disqualified from the championship, and the final winner of thepetition was Qiao Mu. Ning Tongtong widened her eyes in shock and shook her head in disbelief. This couldnt be true, this couldnt be true! At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Shu Xinyus voice came from outside the door.Tongtong, dont coop yourself up in your room. Come out and eat. Ning Tongtong roared, Go away! I dont want to see anyone. I have nothing now. I might as well die! Tongtong, dont be silly. Open the door and lets talk. Ning Tongtong mmed her phone against the door. Leave! I know that you all treat me as a joke and a liar! Shu Xinyu frowned. Things have developed to this point. You cant resolve it by giving up on yourself. Calm down and lets think of a way. Everything will be fine. Ning Tongtong forcefully tore at the nket, her expression already contorted. Shu Xinyu was right. She would only benefit Qiao Mu if she continued to be depressed like this. She could not let Qiao Mu have her way!
Ning Tongtong immediately rushed to the door and opened it. She cried and threw herself into Shu Xinyus arms. Mom, you have to believe that things arent like what they said. My reputation ispletely ruined. You have to help me! I didnt steal Qiao Mus design drafts for thepetition. Amy gave them to me. I was possessed to use someone elses design drafts. I really didnt know it was Qiao Mus. Also, I didnt buy Qiao Mus drafts, its Chapter 760: Refusing to Admit It Chapter 760: Refusing to Admit It
Trantor:549690339 Its my brother. My brother saw that I was worried about the brands clothing, so he got Qiao Mus design from somewhere. I was too anxious at that time, so I used her design. I only used it once. Later on, those works were all designed by me ording to that style, and not all of them were Qiao Mus works. However, Qiao Mu twisted the truth and said that all of my works were hers. I didnt say that at all, but Qiao Mu faked it! Ning Tongtong sobbed. Mom, Ive regretted it for a long time. Ive been ming myself for not telling you because I was afraid that you would be disappointed in me. I really know my mistake. Please help me! Shu Xinyu believed Ning Tongtongs words without a doubt. Ning Tongtong had always been a sensible and kind child in front of her. It was impossible for her to say such vicious and crazy words during the banquet.
Although Ning Tongtong giarized and disappointed her, she was still the closest child to her. She couldnt just leave her alone. However, after returning from the banquet, Ning Tongtong had locked herself in her room and refused to eat or drink. Shu Xinyu saw this and felt her heart ache. Patting Ning Tongtongs back, Shu Xinyu advised in a low voice, Dont cry. Leave this matter to me. Ill think of a solution. Its not like theres no solution. Right now, everything is just a one-sided announcement by Key Studios. As long as you dont admit it, there will definitely be people who believe you. Ning Tongtong stopped crying. Is this really okay? If Qiao Mu wants to sue me, what should I do? You dont need to worry about these. Ill think of a way to resolve Qiao Mus matter. Yes, thank you, Mom! I promise that from now on, I wont make any more mistakes. You have to believe me! Mommy believes you! Shu Xinyu persuaded Ning Tongtong to eat. When she returned to her room, she saw Ning Fengs ashen face and angrily said,She did such a shameful thing. Why do you still care about her? She was so capable that the Ning familys face had beenpletely thrown away by her! Hubby, dont be angry at Tongtong. Shes still young. If she takes the wrong path, well just correct her. She just wants to be more outstanding. Its all my fault for not noticing and not educating her. Shu Xinyu med herself. You spoil her too much. Be stricter with her in the future! Ning Feng sighed. Shu Xinyu smiled. A daughter should be pampered. Who asked her to be the apple of our eye? Ning Fengs expression softened a little. Xinyu, youve been married into the Ning family for so many years. Youve sacrificed so much for me. For Tongtong, you gave up on having a child of your own and took care of Tongtong like her own daughter. Its really hard on you.
A strange look shed in Shu Xinyus eyes, and she said gently, Were already an old couple. Arent you treating me as an outsider by saying this? Im willing to do anything for you and this family. Shu Xinyu lowered her eyes to hide the expression in her eyes. She wasnt that great. How could she not want to have a child with Ning Feng? However, she could not give birth at all! This secret had always been hidden in her heart, so in the end, she had made a sacrifice for this family. Back then, she had married into the Ning family with pain. It was Ning Tongtong, this three-year-old child, who treated her as her mother and gave her warmth. Therefore, Shu Xinyu was really good to Ning Tongtong. She treated Ning Tongtong like her own daughter. Even if Ning Tongtong made a mistake, she could not give up on her. Chapter 761: Are You Forcing Me To Get Married? Chapter 761: Are You Forcing Me To Get Married?
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu happily brought the trophy back to the Li family vi and polished it before cing it on the bedside table in the bedroom. Her phone rang. After seeing the caller ID, Qiao Mu smiled and answered the call. Then, she heard the mans voice. Little thing, did you get the trophy? Uncle, arent you a little too well-informed? He had just announced this matter to the public, but he was overseas, yet he knew about it at the same time.
Li Yans maic voice rang out. Of course I have to take my proposal gift seriously. Qiao Mu was speechless. Beg your sister! Qiao Mu couldnt help but blush when she recalled what he said earlier. She changed the topic. Uncle, when are youing back? Tomorrow morning at nine oclock, bring your trophy to the airport. .. What? Dont you want to give me your proposal gift as soon as possible? Youreing back tomorrow? Qiao Mu only rejoiced for a split second before she immediately shouted in embarrassment, If you propose again, Im going to get angry. If you want to propose, you should be the one proposing to me, alright? How can you let a woman propose? After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she heard Li Yan chuckle softly. So, you cant wait to force me to marry you? Qiao Mu was speechless. Could he not twist her words like this?
Just as Qiao Mu blushed and didnt know how to retort, her phone beeped. A call wasing in. She took the opportunity to say, Uncle, I have something to do tomorrow. I wont be picking you up at the airport! Im getting a call from my phone. I cant talk to you anymore. Ill hang up first. In order to avoid this topic, she quickly picked up another call. After picking it up, she realized that it was an unfamiliar number. She didnt know who was calling her in the middle of the night. Hello, Qiao Mu replied. Then, she heard a womans voice from the other end of the line. Qiao Mu, this is Shu Xinyu. The other partys call waspletely out of Qiao Mus expectations. Madam Shu, whats the matter? Qiao Mu asked in a deep voice. I want to talk to you about Ning Tongtong. Lets set a time to meet. Shu Xinyus tone was still as high and mighty as ever, as if Qiao Mu had to nod and agree to her request to meet. Qiao Mu curled her lips coldly. Sorry, Im very busy. I dont have time to waste on unimportant matters. Qiao Mu, in this industry, its not good for you to not give others a way out. Thank you for your reminder, Ms. Shu. If theres nothing else, Im hanging up. Goodbye. Qiao Mu hung up after she finished speaking. Her good mood was ruined by this phone call. It was obvious what Shu Xinyu wanted to do. Now that Ning Tongtong had fallen to such a state and was being sued by Key Studio in her name, Shu Xinyu was probably pleading for mercy on behalf of her daughter, right?
This was the first time Qiao Mu had seen someone using such a high and mighty attitude to ask for help! Thinking that Li Yan would be back tomorrow, Qiao Mus mood was not as bad anymore. Qiao Mu was bored, so she logged into Weibo and browsed through it. When she saw a recording of the entire banquet that was released by a media outlet, she clicked on it. The media reporters did not miss any details. They had clearly recorded the conversation between her and Ning Tongtong in the bathroom. Recalling the conversation at that time, Qiao Mu heard Ning Tongtong say in the video that the Li Group was preparing to acquire the Qiao Group, and Li Yan was only with her to make use of her. This Ning Tongtong was really trying to provoke her. She could say anything. Li Yan and her father had never mentioned the acquisition of the Qiao Corporation by the Li Corporation. Why would she believe Ning Tongtongs words? Chapter 762: Give Him A Surprise Chapter 762: Give Him A Surprise
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu woke up early the next morning. After she washed up, she left the house in a beautiful manner and set off for the airport. Although she said she wouldnt pick him up, she still couldnt help but want to see the man she had always missed.
When they arrived at the airport, Qiao Mus mood was so good that she was about to fly. The corners of her lips curled up uncontrobly, and she was extremely excited. Qiao Mu counted down the time and counted down the minutes and seconds. Finally, she heard the announcement that the flight from new York to Beijing had arrived. She stood at the arrival gate and waited. She wanted to give Li Yan a surprise. However, in her excitement, she forgot that Li Yan was using the VIP passage. When the nended, Li Yan turned on his phone. He did not receive a message from the little woman. This little thing was really calm. Li Yan got off the ne and made a call. He heard the little womanszy Hello. Then, he heard a noisy background noise and the broadcast from the airport. The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up as he asked in a low voice, Where? Uncle, did you get off the ne? Qiao Mu replied indifferently. Im at home now. I havent woken up yet. The smile on Li Yans face deepened, but he did not expose her. Go back to sleep. Ill go straight to the office. Qiao Mu was extremely displeased with this answer. He didnt see her immediately, but instead wanted to return to thepany! Qiao Mu snorted and angrily said, Goodbye, before hanging up the phone. She would give him a shock when she saw himter! Li Yan put away his phone and walked towards the exit. Lei Yi, who was behind him, saw the route Li Yan took and reminded him, Young Master, youre taking the normal exit. The VIP passage is this way.
Li Yan nced at Lei Yi indifferently. Do you think Im an idiot who doesnt know the way? Lei Yi was speechless. Lei Yi was a little confused. In front of him, Young Master Lis footsteps were steady, but his speed was a little faster than usual, as if he was in a hurry to see someone. After a moment of doubt, Lei Yi understood. Who else could make Young Master Li so anxious except for his nephew? Li Yan followed the crowd to the exit. From the noisy environment on the phone, he could tell that the little woman was waiting for him at the airport. This little thing wanted to give him a surprise, but she was so stupid that she was not fully prepared. If he hadnt called her, she would probably have waited for nothing at the airport. Li Yan walked out and was searching for the figure of the little woman in the crowd. Suddenly, a woman appeared beside him and greeted him warmly in English, Sir, this is my first time in China. Im not familiar with this ce. Can you give me a ride? Go away. Li Yans eyes darkened as he continued to search for the little woman. At this moment, a sneaky figure appeared in their line of sight. The little woman was wearing a baseball cap and a pair ofrge sunsses. She had a scarf around her neck. Her small face was not big to begin with, so at this moment, only her mouth could be seen. Others might think that a big star hade. Qiao Mu waited anxiously in the waiting area. When Li Yan came out, she immediately saw him standing tall and straight in the crowd. His noble and powerful aura was like a kind scenery just by standing there, making it impossible for people to look away.
Just as she was about to give him a surprise, she saw a blonde beauty walking up to Li Yan. She was so passionate that she did not know what she was talking about. She felt that it was extremely annoying. [The inte was cut off today. Suying wrote a chapter on theputer and then typed it out word by word on her phone. I think it will be slower.] Chapter 763: Qiao Mu’s Craftiness Chapter 763: Qiao Mus Craftiness
Trantor:549690339 The weather was gradually entering winter, but the blonde beauty was wearing sexy suspenders and shorts. She had a cloak over her, and her sexy chest and slender legs made the men around her reluctant to look away. Qiao Mus anger red up after watching this for a while. At this moment, she felt the mans gaze drift over, and a hint of a smile appeared on his expressionless face. He was not surprised to see her suddenly. Everything seemed to be within his expectations.
The surprise that Qiao Mu had prepared was instantly ruined. Did this man set a position on her? How did he know her movements like the back of his hand? No wonder he said those words on the phone just now. It turned out that he had exposed his disguise. The blonde beauty stared at Li Yans smiling face. Her heart was racing because of his handsome face. She took a step closer to Li Yan and smiled seductively. Sir, if you dont refuse, Ill take it that you agree. When Qiao Mu approached, she heard this sentence. Even though her English wasnt very good, she still understood such a simple sentence. However, what made her angry was that Li Yan did not respond to her after she said that. Instead, he looked at her and smiled at her, as if he was waiting for her to solve his problem. Qiao Mu revealed a sly smile and quickly pounced in front of Li Yan. At the same time, she identally knocked away the blonde beauty in front of Li Yan and grabbed his arm. Li Yan did not expect the little woman to be so passionate. He knew that she would be unhappy if someone approached him, but her behavior surprised him a little. His little woman was getting more and more enlightened! In the next second, he saw the wicked smile on Qiao Mus face. Through her sunsses, he could vaguely see the sly glint in her eyes. He was anticipating her next performance when he heard the womans sweet voice.Daddy ~ The corner of Li Yans mouth stiffened. This little thing! When the golden-haired beauty heard this form of address, she looked at Qiao Mu in shock. Her expression was one ofplete disbelief that such a young man could have such an old daughter! Qiao Mu raised her hand and took advantage of Li Yan by wiping his face twice. She said in English, Daddy, your stic surgery abroad was so sessful. If you hadnt sent me the photo in advance, I really wouldnt have recognized you. Youre practically twenty years younger!
Qiao Mu nced at the blonde beauty as she spoke. Daddy, look at this sister. She doesnt seem to believe that youre my daddy. Bring me along the next time you go abroad. Im going to get a makeover too. Alright, Ill bring you along next time. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, and he patted Qiao Mus head with a doting expression. He really looked like a father treating his daughter. Qiao Mu was smiling happily, but her eyes behind her sunsses were ring fiercely at Li Yan. The shock in the blonde beautys eyes gradually turned into disdain. She looked like she had been deceived and left. Qiao Mu snorted. A brainless woman with big breasts still dared to peep at her man! Raising her head, she saw Li Yan looking at her with a smile in his eyes. She narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly at him. She said in a delicate voice, Daddy, you looked so happy just now. Did I interrupt your further development with the big boobs? Li Yan lifted his hand to remove Qiao Mus sses. He leaned over slightly and whispered into her ear, You should know very well that I only like undeveloped Xiaobo. As he spoke, his gaze swept across Qiao Mus chest with ill intentions, hinting at something. Chapter 764: My Mumu is the Best Chapter 764: My Mumu is the Best
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu was speechless. Xiaobo your sister! How dare he insult her figure!
She was slim, alright? She didnt want to be turbulent! Well, it couldnt change even if he wanted to. She had to admit that she really couldnt bepared to the blonde beauty just now. She was on apletely different level! Qiao Mu pouted angrily and unhappily shook him off. She had only taken two steps when her hand was grabbed by him. The mans unique mischievousughter rang in her ear. What? Am I wrong? Qiao Mu subconsciously puffed out her chest. Of course not! This action was met with a light chuckle from the man, which made Qiao Mu feel ufortable! Heughed at her endlessly! Seeing that she was really angry, Li Yan coaxed her, Alright, I was just teasing you and you took it seriously. I dont even mind you calling me Daddy. Qiao Mu snorted. The man she had missed for many days was right in front of her, so how could she continue to be angry? After a while, Qiao Mu asked again, unwilling to give up, Is it really very small? Actually, Qiao Mu asked this to save some face. Logically speaking, this man would have denied it no matter what.
However, she heard the man enlighten her, Its okay. Youre still developing. You wont be small in the future. Qiao Mu was speechless. That was why she woke up early in the morning to pick him up. She was here to make herself suffer! Qiao Mu was really angry now. She walked out of the airport, got into the car, and ignored Li Yan without saying a word. Although what he said made sense and she would definitely still develop, she was still traumatized by being hit by him without giving her any face. Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand, but Qiao Mu flung it away in a fit of pique. He held her hand again and she shook it again. He held her hand again, and she shook it again. Li Yan burst intoughter. He approached her and whispered, Little thing, youre using this topic to seduce me the moment we meet. Looks like youve been hungry for too long and need to be fed. Qiao Mus face reddened as she red at him fiercely. After a while, Qiao Mu stopped making a fuss. She looked at Li Yan and asked, Are we going home? I have something to do at thepany. Come with me.
Qiao Mu nodded without any objections. She had nned to apany him today anyway. Qiao Mu slowly regained herposure and began to tell Li Yan about what had happened recently, including the events of thepetition and the banquet. She talked non-stop along the way, as if she was afraid that Li Yan would miss any details. Li Yan looked at the little womans dancing face and the corners of his mouth curled up. When she said that she was angry, she clenched her fists tightly and her little face puffed up. When she talked about happy things, she smiled very proudly, as if she was waiting to be praised by him. That look was so cute that he couldnt help but want to eat her. The little woman beside him hugged his arm, her body inadvertently rubbing against him, igniting his body that had been thirsty for many days. Looking at her red face, he felt his body tighten. He shifted his gaze away as if nothing had happened and diverted his attention. If the little woman knew what he was thinking, she would look down on him and call him a pervert. Finally, Qiao Mu finished speaking with her mouth dry. Seeing that the man did not respond, she unhappily asked for benefits. Uncle, arent you going to praise me? Yes, my Mu Mu is the best. You dont need to rely on me to clean up the people who bullied you. Ill give you a rewardter. Li Yans eyes were filled with a smile, and his cold face was warm at that moment. Qiao Mu smiled delightedly. Even though she did not think that her performance was worth showing off, she wanted to be praised by him in front of her. [I apologize to you again. Please understand that Im not in a good state. She wouldnt update it in the second half of the night. It was too tiring to type on her phone without the inte. Suying stayed up all night to save the manuscript. Tomorrow, when the inte was fixed, they would update it together. Please forgive me.] Chapter 765: Check If Your Growth Is Good Chapter 765: Check If Your Growth Is Good
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu followed Li Yan to thepany. In the past, when Qiao Mu came to thepany to look for Li Yan, she was still sneaky, but slowly, she became more and more open. Qiao Mu followed Li Yan out of the elevator and bumped into Tang Jiajia. Tang Jiajia was about to greet Qiao Mu when she saw her, but she quickly shut her mouth when she saw Li Yan beside Qiao Mu. Tang Jiajia looked at Lei Yi, who was following behind her. Her eyes were full of admiration. Lei Yis status in thepany was obvious to everyone, but she didnt expect his girlfriend to be brought into thepany so casually and even take the elevator with the CEO. Lei Yi sensed Tang Jiajias gaze and turned his head to look. Tang Jiajia immediately lowered her head. Every time Reiter looked at her, she felt a lot of pressure.
Qiao Mu hade to thepany many times, but she rarely saw Tang Jiajia. She smiled at Tang Jiajia and said, Jiajia, Ill go find youter. Tang Jiajia nodded with a smile. She felt that something was amiss when she saw Qiao Mu being so rxed in front of the CEO, even more so than Lei Yi. However, he couldnt tell what was wrong. Qiao Mu followed Li Yan into the office. Just as she stepped into the office, she heard the door behind her m shut. Then, a force pressed her against the door, and a familiar kiss fell on her. Qiao Mu did not struggle. She hooked her arms around the mans neck and responded to his kiss. At this moment, she did not want to be pretentious. She missed him, missed his kisses, missed the feeling of hugging him. Her nose was filled with the mans unique scent, causing Qiao Mus thoughts to be more and more muddled. She waspletely immersed in this kiss that had happened many days ago. After a while, the man stopped his crazy demand. He pressed his forehead against hers and said in a low voice,Little thing, did you miss me? Yes. Qiao Mus brain was not working at all at this moment. She answered subconsciously and expressed her thoughts instinctively. Li Yans lips curled up. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. We have an hour.
.. Hmm? Qiao Mu looked up at him in confusion. The next second, the man carried her in his arms and exined what he meant. There was a meeting in an hour that could not be dyed. He could put aside the other trivial matters for the time being. When Qiao Mu was ced on the bed in the lounge, she suddenly came to her senses. She red at him with a red face. Youve been on the ne for more than ten hours. Why dont you take a rest first? It was broad daylight and they were in his office. Although it wasnt the first time, she still felt shy, alright? Li Yan smirked. Its okay if Im tired, but I cant let you starve. Qiao Mu was speechless. Then, the man ced his hand on Qiao Mus chest and said in a low and husky voice with a hint of seduction, Little thing, let me check if its developed during this period of time. The mans hands started to move. Qiao Mus face flushed red, and she forcefully pped his hand away. Could this man not be so indecent? A momentter, the two of them werepletely honest with each other. Li Yan looked at the little womans seductive appearance and finally could not hold it in anymore. He directly prated her. Every time, after a long separation, there would be a passionate exercise.
Finally, everything returned to normal. Qiao Mu was so tired that she couldnt even be bothered to move her fingers. Li Yan stroked the little womans wet back in satisfaction. He looked at the time and said softly, You have a meeting. When you wake up, call for takeout if youre hungry. Chapter 766: It’s Great to Meet Him in This Lifetime Chapter 766: Its Great to Meet Him in This Lifetime
Trantor:549690339 After Li Yan finished speaking, he looked at the little woman and could not even be bothered to lift her eyelids. He curled his lips and reluctantly got out of bed to enter the bathroom. After a simple shower, Li Yan put on his clothes and went to the bedside to nt a kiss on Qiao Mus forehead before leaving the office. Qiao Mu slept for half an hour in a daze. She stretched her waistzily, and her body felt a little sore. She secretly cursed Li Yan in her heart. Every time he came back from a business trip, she would suffer along with him. It would be strange if her delicate body could develop well every time he tortured her like this! Qiao Mu entered the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror to admire her figure. She was already very perfect, alright?
She lowered her head and looked at her chest. Uh, actually, there was still a possibility that she could get better. Qiao Mu put on her clothes and walked out of the lounge. She leisurely strolled around Li Yans office before sitting down on his office chair. Turning on hisputer, she still needed to enter the password. It was a four-digit password. She entered her birthday with the intention of giving it a try. Didnt they say that if a man liked a woman, he would use the other partys birthday as the password for any ount? However, when Qiao Mu entered her birthday, she realized that the password was incorrect. He was instantly disappointed. Then, it was Li Yans birthday that she belonged to, but it was still wrong. Qiao Mu was a little puzzled. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Li Yan. Uncle, whats yourputer password? After a while, Li Yan replied with four digits:0426 Qiao Mu frowned. This was obviously a date, but her birthday was in May. She sent him another message. Tell me the truth. Which lovers birthday is this? At this moment, Li Yan, who was in the meeting room, saw the message. The corners of his mouth curled up. The atmosphere of the meeting, which was originally not very good, suddenly rose by a few degrees.
Li Yan listened to the senior manager report about the mistakes that had urred in a certain project when he was not around. He was not unhappy. Instead, he was in a good mood as he tapped on his phone screen. After sending the message, Li Yan put down his phone. His eyes instantly turned cold, and he returned to his cold and aloof CEO image, as if the person who was smiling just now was not him. In the office, Qiao Mu rested her chin on her hand as she waited for Li Yans message. She wanted to see what reason he coulde up with to convince her! If he really had an ex or a lover that he couldnt forget, she would smash hisputer. She had never thought that Li Yan had someone he liked before her. He was her one and only, and she wanted to be his one and only. Thinking about how he treated others as gently as he treated her, her heart ached. She was so selfish that she wanted someone to have his good points! At this moment, her phone rang. Qiao Mu opened the message with mixed feelings and saw Li Yans reply. This is the first time I met my lover thirteen years ago. The day they first met? Seeing this message, Qiao Mu felt terrible!
Why didnt he remember the day he first met her? He actually remembered the details of his first meeting with someone else, and it was thirteen years ago! Wait a minute Thirteen years ago? Qiao Mu suddenly realized that they had just met thirteen years ago! April 26th was her first day in Qiao Mu. Then, she hid under a big tree in the backyard and cried secretly. In the end, she was discovered by Li Yan, whoforted her fiercely Chapter 767: Li Yan’s Devotion, Ten Years Like One Day Chapter 767: Li Yans Devotion, Ten Years Like One Day
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu was a little absent-minded when her beautiful memories were dug out. It turned out that he had always remembered their first meeting and everything about them. He remembered it better than she did. She did not even notice these details. This man was clearly careless, but he was so meticulous about some things. Qiao Mus nose felt a little sour. This man had already touched her countless times, yet he still made her feel like crying.
It was great to meet this man in this life. After Qiao Mu was touched, she felt a little smug. She did not realize that Li Yan was actually so devoted to her. He had been thinking about her for ten years, and he could not forget her. And it was to a five-year-old child! This pervert! Could he be a pedophile? She looked like a decent person. Back then, when she was in front of him, she was very upright. She had tried all kinds of kisses but failed. In fact, he did not know how to fantasize about her! Qiao Mu quickly replied to Li Yans message. So you were already a pervert thirteen years ago! Actually, she did not seem to have the right to judge him. Back then, she was five years old and very dependent on him. At that time, she was still young and did not know anything about love. However, after three years of being together, how could she not have feelings for him? At that time, she had tried her best to get close to him. Every time she got close to him, she felt especially happy. Her face was red and her heart was racing. Thinking back, they had missed ten years. It might not be a bad thing for them. The reason why they had lost each other in the past was that they now had a sense of reality. It was great. Everything was so blissful. Qiao Mu waited in the office for a long time, but Li Yan still did not return. She rummaged through Li Yans drawer, preparing to find a pen and paper to draw a draft. He identally found a document. It was Shu Xinyus personal information.
Qiao Mu was a little puzzled. Why would Li Yan investigate Shu Xinyu? She took the document out of the drawer and flipped through it casually. However, when she saw the back, she was stunned. The information recorded Shu Xinyus experience 19 years ago in detail. She got pregnant before marriage. A few months after the child was born, she married into the Ning family as a bachelor. The childs whereabouts were unknown. Qiao Mu stared at the information in a daze. She read it over and over again, and her heart sank bit by bit. This How was this possible? It couldnt be. Shu Xinyus child definitely had nothing to do with her. The timing might just be a coincidence. But why was the birth record of the child in the hospital the same as her birthday? When she went to the orphanage, the old nurse told her that she had a note with her that recorded her date of birth, so her birthday could not be wrong. Yet, she was born on the same day as Shu Xinyus child 19 years ago! Moreover, she had met Shu Xinyu at the orphanage previously. That high and mighty woman was actually doing volunteer work at the orphanage. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Qiao Mus face paled. It must be a coincidence!
At this moment, the office door was pushed open. Qiao Mu frantically stuffed the documents into the drawer and nonchntly raised her head to look at the man who had just walked in. The corners of her lips twitched. Uncle, are you done with your work? Li Yan frowned when he saw Qiao Mus pale face and dejected look. He walked to her side and saw a drawer that was not closed. At the top of the drawer was a messy pile of documents. Li Yan took out the document and looked at Qiao Mu. He asked softly, Have you seen this? Chapter 768: Regarding Her Parents, She Had Thought Of Many Possibilities Chapter 768: Regarding Her Parents, She Had Thought Of Many Possibilities
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu wanted to pretend that she knew nothing, but after Li Yans question, she could no longer keep up the act. She looked up at him and asked, Youve been investigating my matter? Li Yan did not hide anything and nodded. Worried that she would overthink things, he exined, Mu Mu, this matter has not been confirmed yet, so I did not tell you. This information does not mean anything. He didnt tell her, partly because he wasnt 100% sure, and partly because she had a conflict with Shu Xinyu. If this was true, it was not a good thing for her. Obviously, after seeing this document, the little woman was not happy at all.
Li Yan looked at Qiao Mus lonely expression and reached out to pull her into his embrace, but the little woman pushed him away abruptly, and he became agitated. If it doesnt mean anything, why are you investigating? Ive already said that I dont want to look for my parents, but you still want to investigate. They abandoned me. I dont care who they are at all! Youve never respected my opinion. I clearly said that I didnt want to know, but you investigated behind my back! Li Yans expression turned cold. Immediately after, Qiao Mu grabbed the document and threw it into the trash can. What a joke. How could Shu Xinyu be my mother? This document isnt convincing at all. There are too many coincidences in this world. What does her previous child have to do with me?! The more Qiao Mu spoke, the more stifled she felt. Anger overwhelmed her, and she could not control it. She knew that Li Yan was doing this for her own good. He secretly investigated her parents because he knew that although she could not ept her parents abandoning her, she still yearned to find them and ask them why they did not want her. Even if she could not meet her parents, it was good to know who they were. She didnt want to me him for investigating this matter. It was just that the target of the investigation was Shu Xinyu. Why did it have to be Shu Xinyu? She had once thought of many possibilities. Perhaps her parents were poor financially and wanted a son but had a daughter, so they had no choice but to abandon her. Perhaps her parents had some difficulties that they had no choice but to face. PerhapsThere were many possibilities. But now that she had a clue, she couldnt be happy. How could she have anything to do with Shu Xinyu? This was simply impossible! If it really had something to do with Shu Xinyu, then she might as well not know who her parents were! The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. However, when she looked up and met Li Yans dark eyes, she immediately regretted it.
How could she lose her temper at Li Yan? How could she treat him like this because of an insignificant person?! In an instant, Qiao Mu was filled with regret. When she saw that the man was looking at her expressionlessly without any reaction, her confidence was instantly depleted. Suddenly, the mans hand reached out to her. She subconsciously shrank her head to avoid it, afraid that he would identally use violence on her. Li Yan sighed helplessly and pulled her into his embrace. He patted her back gently. Mu Mu, if youre unhappy, just vent it. This matter is indeed my fault. I shouldnt have investigated. He had always wanted to make up for the regret in her heart, but he had never thought that perhaps the truth was something she could not ept. This little woman looked strong, but she was actually so weak that she could not withstand a single blow. He could not bear to let her suffer the slightest bit of harm. Chapter 769: Don’t Give Me an Insatiable Foot Chapter 769: Dont Give Me an Insatiable Foot
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mus heart skipped a beat. He was apologizing to her! This man would never admit that he was wrong. His words were like an imperial edict. Even if he was wrong, he was right. Perhaps in his dictionary, there was no such word as admit ones mistake . Usually, he wouldnt lower his head even if it was a small matter between them. In the end, he would always push the me to her. In short, he was right. However, at this moment, he had lowered his head so easily and put down his so-called mans dignity. Qiao Mu felt a wave of difort in her heart. How could he break the rules like this and y his cards againstmon sense!
In an instant, all the self-me and grievances in her heart surged up. Qiao Mu finally lost control of her emotions when she was held in the mans arms. She hugged his waist and sobbed, Uncle, Im sorry. I dont really me you. I didnt want to lose my temper at you. Dont be angry at me. I thought I wouldnt be unreasonable anymore. I wont anymore. Dont be unhappy. Sob While Qiao Mu admitted her mistake, she started crying loudly. Her tears fell down and soaked Li Yans shirt. Li Yan frowned. He did not say anything. Why did the little thing be so self-aware? She kept admitting her mistakes as if she was worried that he would abandon her because of her unreasonable behavior. Li Yans heart ached and he felt helpless. He looked at her with a straight face. I didnt say that I was angry. Dont cry. Not only was Qiao Mu disobedient, but she also cried even harder. I know youre definitely angry. Youre so petty. If I give you a hard time, youll definitely be angry at me. Li Yan was speechless. Was he petty? Was this little thing apologizing to him or was she just angering him? Although she looked like she was apologizing for making him angry, she did not seem to be afraid of him at all. Li Yan rubbed his temples and lowered his voice. Be good. Dont cry. Im really not angry. Really? She blinked her big, watery eyes and looked up at him.
Li Yan nodded and coaxed her like he was coaxing a child. Really. Qiao Mu sniffed. Her tears stopped for less than three seconds before they started to flow again. She buried her face in Li Yans chest and cried silently. Why are you crying again? Li Yan asked softly as he nced at the document in the trash can. He patted Qiao Mus head gently. With me around, you dont have to think about anything else. Even if you encounter something you dont want to face, leave it all to me. Qiao Mu raised her head, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry. In the future, dont hide anything from me. You know that you have to tell me immediately, and youre not allowed to make decisions for me behind my back. Alright. He would answer first and talk about itter. You promise! .. I promise. Swear it! Li Yan was speechless. Little thing, do you know what it means to take a yard after taking a yard? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes after Li Yan finished speaking. Her dry eyes were now slightly moist again.
Li Yan felt a headacheing on. This little thing knew that he could not bear to see her cry, so she threatened him with her tears! Li Yan sighed again and wiped the tears off her face. At the same time, he said,I swear, okay? Uncle, youre so nice. Li Yan suddenly felt that his dignity waspletely useless in front of this little woman! When did she be so arrogant? Qiao Mu felt that it was too troublesome for Li Yan to wipe his tears with his hands, so she directly stuck her small face onto Li Yans clothes and rubbed it against him vigorously. Uncle Just as she opened her mouth, Li Yan interrupted her. Dont push your luck. Chapter 770: Be Good, I’m Here Chapter 770: Be Good, Im Here
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu pouted in grievance. I just wanted to say that Im hungry. As if she was deliberately torturing him, her big eyes glistened with tears as soon as she finished speaking. Li Yan felt a headacheing on. Since when did this little fellow like to cry so much? In the past, when she was sad, she refused to cry to him and pretended to be strong. But now, she was fine! It was said that women were made of water. Indeed, it was true. Her tears really flowed endlessly. They came and stopped as she said so.
Did she think that she was a faucet? Li Yan helplessly pulled her up from the chair and sat down. He pressed her onto hisp and pressed her face against his chest. The little woman consciously rubbed her face against his clothes to wipe away the tears that had yet to fall. His clothes were already dirty from her tears. She had put on simple makeup when she went to pick her up at the airport today. Her tears had stained all the mascaras she had put on, and now it was all on Li Yans shirt. Fortunately, the man was wearing a ck shirt, which concealed her crimes. A mans voice sounded from above her head. Stop crying. Are you a two-year-old child? You only know how to cry when youre hungry. Am I not going to feed you? Qiao Mus stubbornness rose when she heard his ungentle words. She raised her head and continued to cry for him to see. She didnt know why, but she never liked to cry. In the past, when she was bullied by Qiao Ya, she really couldnt control herself, so she hid and silently shed a few tears. She never shed tears in front of others. Except for this man, she did not want to hide any of her emotions in front of him. At this moment, her mood was unusually fragile and she wanted to cry. Li Yan was helpless. He pressed her face against his chest again. This little thing was deliberately trying to make his heart ache. Qiao Mu sullenly pressed her face against Li Yans chest and innocently said, Uncle, are you trying to get me to drink milk by pressing my face against your body? Do you have this function?
Li Yan was speechless. As Qiao Mu spoke, she stuck out her tongue recklessly. He looked like a child sucking milk. Li Yans body stiffened. He lowered his head and looked at her. His face was expressionless, but his low and hoarse voice revealed his uneasiness. So, youre actually not hungry. Its because I didnt feed you enough just now? Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes pitifully. Im just hungry. Finally, Li Yan called for takeout. Qiao Mu only regained her spirits and returned to normal after she was full. Qiao Mu was full and tired from crying. In the end, she fell asleep on the sofa in Li Yans office. Li Yan lowered his head as he worked, ncing at the sofa from time to time. The little guys eyes were still red, and it made his heart ache. He put down the work in his hands, got up, and walked to Qiao Mus side. He squatted down and stared at the little womans small face. She did not seem to be sleeping soundly. Her brows were slightly furrowed as if she had a bad dream. He raised his hand to smoothen her brows. Then, the little woman snorted and mumbled indistinctly,Mommy Li Yans heart tightened, and his eyes darkened. It was as if his heart had been cut by a knife. The pain was not obvious, but it made him feel extremely ufortable.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Be good. Im here. Chapter 771: He Will Always Be In Her Sight Chapter 771: He Will Always Be In Her Sight
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu had a very chaotic dream. She dreamed that she was sold by her mother when she was young. At that time, she could not understand why other childrens mothers were so gentle and kind, but her mother was heartless and cold-blooded. Later on, she had longed to restore her mother-daughter rtionship with her mother time and time again. Even if Zhou Jieru made things difficult for her, she had to do her best because Zhou Jieru was her mother. Butter, shepletely gave up on Zhou Jieru. At that time, she knew in despair that in a persons eyes, money was far more important than family. At that time, she didnt understand why Zhou Jieru was so cruel. It wasnt until the day the truth came out that she suddenly realized that it wasnt that Zhou Jieru didnt have maternal love, but because she only treated her as a tool to make money. They had no kinship at all.
At that moment, Qiao Mu did not know what kind ofplicated feelings she had in her heart. She was d that Zhou Jieru was not her mother, but at the same time, she was sad and despaired that she had be an orphan. How many times had she held hope for her biological parents, only to be disappointed again and again? It turned out that even if Zhou Jieru wasnt her mother, her life hadnt improved at all. She was still a child abandoned by her parents. However, when she found out that she was in contact with Shu Xinyu, that negative emotion enveloped her. Qiao Mu felt very ufortable in her heart. At this moment, a voice traveled into her brain, and a familiar aura enveloped her, dispersing her pain bit by bit. The voice said,Be good. Im here. A few simple words were enough. The sleeping Qiao Mu gradually calmed down. She knew that even if the whole world abandoned her, that man would still be standing in front of her once she turned around. Li Yan sighed when he saw that the little woman was no longer frowning. Everything in this world that he could not do anything about was rted to her. Could it be that the heavens could not bear to see his little one happy? Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, followed by a loud voice, Son, let me Yu Yiduo had just entered the room and before she could finish her sentence, she saw Li Yan squatting in front of the sofa, frowning and ring at her with slight dissatisfaction.
Yu Yiduo felt terrible. She was anxious for her son and hade to see her as soon as he returned to the country. In the end, she had received this attitude from her son! Then, Yu Yiduo saw Qiao Mu sleeping on the sofa. Humph! Even if it was because her daughter-inw was fierce to her, she would never be forgiven! He even despised his daughter-inw, making him forget his mother after having a wife! Yu Yiduo walked over angrily. Li Yan had already stood up and reminded her softly, Mom, keep your voice down. Mumu is asleep. Yo, look at you. How did your mother educate you to be so sentimental? Youre not allowed to talk to others even when youre asleep! Although Yu Yiduos tone wasnt good, she still lowered her voice. I inherited my fathers genes, didnt I? Li Yan replied calmly. This answer made Yu Yiduo feel much better. She walked up to Qiao Mu and was about to scold Li Yan when she suddenly saw Qiao Mus eyes turn red, as if she had cried before. In an instant, Yu Yiduos heart twitched violently. She stared at Qiao Mus small face with heartache, then red at Li Yan angrily. She pointed at him and said, Youre really something. You even learned how your father bullied his wife! Chapter 772: What Should I Do If Mumu Fell in Love With Someone Else? Chapter 772: What Should I Do If Mumu Fell in Love With Someone Else?
Trantor:549690339 Li Yan was speechless. She was truly apetent mother-inw. She didnt know anything, yet she used him of bullying Qiao Mu without even distinguishing between right and wrong. Li Yan walked to his desk and sat down. He replied, I didnt bully her. If it wasnt you, who else could it be? Look, Mumu is crying! She bullied me.
She bullied you? Could it be that she bullied you and got what she wanted, crying tears of joy? Or did she cry because she bullied you and felt sorry for you? Besides, if Mu Mu bullied him, would she be able to win? She knew her sons mouth very well. He had a sharp tongue. Who could beat him? While Yu Yiduo pitied Qiao Mu, she criticized Li Yan, Cant you be a little more manly? Girls should be treated gently. Our Mu Mu is such an obedient child. Dont think that you can treat her carelessly just because youve seeded. Besides, you havent really seeded yet. You havent even gotten married yet, and Im already worried for you. Mumu is only 19 years old. You, on the other hand, have already be an older leftover man. If Mumu despises you in two years and falls in love with someone else, you can cry then! Li Yan was speechless. What did he say? Li Yan looked at Yu Yiduo. Mom, if you continue to protect your daughter-inw, Im afraid your son will really be kicked out by her! Yu Yiduo was shocked. This is my fault? Aiya, actually, I can also tell who is closer and who is farther away. Im biased towards Mu Mu because she hasnt entered our house yet. When she enters the Li family, my attitude will be different! At that time, my mother-inw should have the dignity of a mother-inw. Ill let her give birth to eight or ten grandchildren for me. If she dares to disobey, Ill What will you do? Li Yan couldnt take it anymore and interrupted Yu Yiduo. Yu Yiduos imagination ran wild. Just as she was about to use her imagination to continue speaking like the TV series, she saw Li Yan ring at her with an unhappy expression. He seemed to be protecting his wife. Yu Yiduo snorted. I was joking, okay?
Yu Yiduo had nothing better to do, so she came here for a stroll. Seeing that Li Yan did not wee her, she could only tactfully give them their alone time. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she identally saw the documents scattered in the trash can. She picked it up and took a look. She was stunned and looked at Li Yan questioningly. Is this true? Im not 100% sure, Li Yan replied nonchntly. Mumu is sad because she knows about this, right? Yu Yiduo sighed, and the joking look on her face disappeared without a trace. She furrowed her brows and said, Last time, I saw Shu Xinyus attitude towards Mumu. It was really infuriating. That woman was so fierce towards Mumu because of her stepdaughter. Now, Mumu and Ning Tongtong are in such a big conflict. Please dont let it be true. Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu and said in a very low voice, Regardless of whether its true or not, I wont let Mu Mu get hurt in the slightest. Yu Yiduo nodded and stepped forward to pat Li Yans shoulder. This is my son. Protecting my wife is more important than anything else. Its just that Ive made things difficult for Mumu. I dont know if her small shoulders can handle all this. Fortunately, she has you. Mu Mu was only a 19-year-old girl. Girls nowadays were all extremely delicate. Each and every one of them was a flower in a greenhouse that was protected. Just thinking about Mu Mus bad experience from a young age made ones heart ache. How could she bear to be an evil mother-inw with such a daughter-inw? It was toote to like her. Chapter 773: Just Pretend I Don’t Exist Chapter 773: Just Pretend I Dont Exist
Trantor:549690339 At this moment, Qiao Mu was awoken by the noise. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw Yu Yiduo. She rubbed her eyes. Auntie, youre here? Yu Yiduo smiled, walked over, and pinched Qiao Mus little face. Aiya, Li Yan said that Im disturbing your sleep here and wants to chase me away. Look at how good your uncle is to you. You can continue sleeping. Im leaving first! Without waiting for Qiao Mu to say anything, Yu Yiduo left the office in a sh. Qiao Mu red at Li Yan. Why did you chase Auntie away? Do you know that Auntie will me me in the future if you disrespect Auntie because of me? Dont force me to ruin my rtionship with Auntie!
In the future? Li Yans lips curled up. When will it be in the future? Are you ready to propose to me? Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu kicked Li Yans chair in embarrassment and anger before grunting as she went into the lounge to wash her face. He still dared to continue this topic! Qiao Mu and Li Yan were inseparable the entire day. While Li Yan was working, Qiao Mu was sprawled on the sofa drawing. When she was tired from drawing, she yed with her phone. Her phone rang, and the screen showed a photo of Li Yan and her. Thest time they went to the movies in a couples outfit, she took a photo and used it on the caller ID. The call was for a courier. Qiao Mu bought some blueprints online, and Qiao Mu asked the courier to ce the items in the reception room before hanging up. She raised her head and looked at Li Yan. The mans gaze fell on theputer screen. He was working seriously. He looked so charming. Qiao Mu stood up and walked over quietly. She sneaked to Li Yans side and passionately kissed him on the cheek. Li Yan was stunned. Just as he raised his head, he saw the little woman taking a photo with her phone. Qiao Mu smiled triumphantly, then waved at Li Yan. I wont disturb your work. You can continue and pretend that I dont exist. Li Yan was speechless. How could he ignore her teasing him like this?
Then, Qiao Mu sneaked back to the sofa. When she left, she secretly took Li Yans phone from his desk. Li Yan watched the little womans every move from the corner of his eye. She was like a thief. He did not know what she was doing with his phone. After a while, she sneakily returned the phone. Then, the phone rang. Li Yan picked up his phone and realized that it was Qiao Mu. Then, he noticed that the caller ID had changed. It turned into a photo of the two of them. In the photo, he was looking at the camera with an unguarded expression, while she pouted and kissed his cheek. This little thing! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he answered the call. Do you like it? Qiao Mu raised her phone and asked with a smile. I like it. Alright, then hang up. Li Yan hung up the phone. Then, he saw that the screen of his phone had also changed. It had turned into her photo.
He raised his head to look at her, only to see that the little woman had her head lowered as if nothing had happened. However, there was a smile on her lips, as if she had done something bad and was secretly happy. Immediately after, a WeChat notification rang. Before he could open WeChat, he received one message after another. He nced at the little woman. She did not send him a message. He opened his WeChat and saw that Lu Jingzhi, Ling Xi, and the others had sent him an overwhelming number of messages. Ever since they found out that he had WeChat, they added him on WeChat. Therefore, only a few of their acquaintances were in his WeChat now. Chapter 774: 776-Henpecked Wife Chapter 774: 776-Henpecked Wife
Trantor:549690339 When he opened WeChat, the first thing Li Yan saw was that his profile picture had changed. Originally, he did not have a profile picture on WeChat, but now it had changed toQiao Mus selfie! This little thing was really everywhere. Li Yan realized that he had been added to a group. The group consisted of Su Chen, Lu Jingzhi, Ling Xi, and himself. He clicked on the group chat history and saw the contents.
Ling Xi: Guys, look at Big Brothers profile picture. I was wondering when I got Qiao Mus WeChat ount. Lu Jingzhi: Eldest Brother is really henpecked by his wife now. His little nephew has taken over his WeChat. He has no privacy at all. Being controlled so strictly by a woman, I feel bad for my brother. I think youre jealous because no one cares about you anymore. Arent you afraid of getting beaten up for gossiping about Big Brothers private affairs? Su Chen asked. Looking at the various discussions of the few of them, Li Yan replied:Who can tell me how to leave the group? Ling Xi was speechless. Lu Jingzhi: Hahaha, are you shy, Big Brother? I just dont want you guys to get beaten up. Qiao Mu stared at Li Yan for a long time before she finally couldnt help but lean over and ask curiously, Who are you chatting with? Li Yan nced at her. Youve already changed your profile picture to your photo. Who else can chat with me? Qiao Mu chuckled and snatched Li Yans phone away. She then ran off and thoughtfully said, Focus on your work. Ill help you deal with chatting.
Li Yan was speechless. Qiao Mu nestled on the sofa and read thetest chat content. Ling Xi: Big Brother, women cant be spoiled like this. Otherwise, they will step on your head. A wife respects her husband. We cant go against the virtues left behind by our ancestors! Big Brother, show us some dignity! Lu Jingzhi said. Qiao Mu imitated Li Yans tone and replied sinctly, Im willing. Ling Xi was speechless. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Seeing the two of them reply with a few dots, Qiao Mu added, None of your business. Ling Xi sent a horrified emoji. Is this Big Brother? Obviously not. Qiao Mu stopped pretending and directly replied, Arent you guys jealous when you see us showing off our love? Hurry up and disperse. No woman wants it
These three people in the group were the targets that many women dreamed of hooking up with, yet Qiao Mu made them sound worthless. Ling Xi was unhappy when he heard that. Who said were jealous? I just feel that Yang is being watched by a woman. How embarrassing! Qiao Mu curled her lips and pressed on the microphone. She looked up at Li Yan and said, Uncle, Young Master Ling said that its embarrassing for you to be with me. Li Yan raised his eyes. If he thinks its embarrassing, then let him be a bachelor for the rest of his life. After the man finished speaking, Qiao Mu released her fingers and sent the voice message. Young Master Ling, take care of yourself. Ling Xi looked at the message. This Qiao Mu was truly sinister. She did not lose to his big brother at all! Li Yan thought of something and said to Qiao Mu, Tell them to have dinner together tonight. Qiao Mu tilted her head and looked at Li Yan. Why are you eating with them? Li Yan typed on the keyboard as he said, I havent celebrated you winning the championship. Qiao Mu immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Chi Xia and Baby Guan in her WeChat group. She wanted to celebrate, and of course, everyone had to be present.
Chapter 775: Greeting You Bachelors Chapter 775: Greeting You Bachelors
Trantor:549690339 On the other side, after Qiao Mu, Chi Xia, and Baby Guan had made an appointment. On the other hand, Lu Jingzhi called Guan Baobei and said that he would bring her out for dinner tonight. However, Guan Baobei rejected him on the pretext that she had a date. Lu Jingzhi hung up the phone. When he saw Qiao Mus words on WeChat, he suddenly felt that he really did not have a woman! Ling Xi didnt even have a date, alright? Although he didnt want to ask a woman out, how could he ept being ridiculed by Qiao Mu like that?!
Moreover, although only his eldest brother had won the beauty, the other two also had goals. He was the only one who did not even have a goal. Thinking about it, he really felt pitiful. Night fell. Qiao Mu insisted on having a seafood feast for dinner, so Li Yan contacted the restaurant in advance to arrange for fresh seafood. When the two of them arrived at the dining room, the others had yet to arrive. There were a few small dishes on the dining table, and Qiao Mu started to eat when she felt a little hungry. She was eating spicy crab pincers when Ling Xi walked in. When he saw the two of them in the room, he was very surprised. What wind blew today? Why are you here so early? Because Im the main character today, I have toe first to wee you bachelors. Ling Xi was speechless. He should not havee today! Soon after, Lu Jingzhi arrived. He was also alone, which surprised Ling Xi. He thought that Lu Jingzhi woulde with Baby Guan. Another bachelor, Qiao Mu said with a smile as she nibbled on a crab leg. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Then, Su Chen arrived.
Qiao Mu tilted her head and looked at Li Yan. Uncle, what kind of brothers are you dating? Dont tell me your words came true? Are they really going to be single for the rest of their lives? Ling Xi frowned. Brother, did you not educate your wife properly before you left? How can a woman like her criticize us men? Li Yan raised his eyelids. What? Is she wrong? Ling Xi said hoarsely, pretending that he didnt say anything! He did not believe that he could not find a woman! Everyone is here, Lu Jingzhi said. Lets eat. Who said that? My friend isnt here yet. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, Lu Jingzhi asked, Who is it? Who else could it be? Isnt it the two people you know? At this moment, Qiao Mus phone rang. As soon as the call connected, Chi Xias anxious voice rang out, Mu Mu, baby is fighting with someone. What happened? Where are you? He was at the entrance of the restaurant. When he got out of the taxi, he got into an argument with someone. I couldnt stop him.
Wait here. Ill go out in a while. Qiao Mu hung up the phone and looked at Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen. Xiaxia and Baby were bullied at the door. Upon hearing this, Lu Jingzhi stood up abruptly and strode out. Qiao Mu looked at Su Chen. Young Master Su, arent you going out to take a look? Su Chen didnt say anything. After a while, he stood up and walked out. Outside the restaurant, when Chi Xia and Guan Baobei got out of the taxi, a car sped past them and stopped in the parking lot, almost hitting them. Chi Xia was shocked and Baby Guan was enraged. She kicked the car. Then, the two sloppy men got out of the car and one of them started fighting with Baby Guan. Chi Xia stood at the side and tried to persuade Qiao Mu, but she was unable to do so. She could only call Qiao Mu. Then, another man walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulders. Beauty, well get to know each other if we dont fight. Why dont you guys have dinner with us tonight? Chapter 776: She Didn’t Like Him Touching Her Chapter 776: She Didnt Like Him Touching Her
Trantor:549690339 Get lost! Chi Xia pushed him away in disgust, but the man immediately grabbed her shoulders. Looking at the disgusting smile on the mans face, Chi Xia felt nauseous. She stepped hard on the mans foot. The mans expression changed. He cursed and waved his hand at Chi Xia. Chi Xia was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at the mans palm. She lost her ability to react. Since she couldnt dodge it, she could only try not to look too embarrassed. Just as she thought that hand was about tond, she saw another hand grab the palm that was about tond. Chi Xia was stunned. The man cursed and in the next second, he was kicked away.
Chi Xia was stunned. She turned around in shock and saw Su Chens gloomy face. Su Chen looked down at Chi Xia. Are you stupid? Just stand there and let others hit you? Chi Xia had yet to recover from her shock. When she saw Su Chen, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her legs gave way and she took a step back. Then, she identally bumped into Su Chen. She hurriedly tried to dodge, but Su Chen grabbed her shoulder. If it were him, she would feel less repulsed. Since when did she not mind his touch? She lowered her head and took a step back to distance herself from him. She whispered,Thank you. Su Chens eyes darkened as he turned around and walked back. Chi Xia quickly stepped forward to stop him. This action made Su Chen stop in his tracks and he looked down at her hand that was reaching out to him. Then, he heard the woman say anxiously, Dont go, Baby Guan is still fighting with someone over there. Hearing her words, Su Chens eyes, which had just eased up a little, darkened again. Im not that nosy! Su Chen left after saying that. Chi Xia was about to say something when she saw Lu Jingzhi walking over to Baby Guan.
Su Chen took a few steps and turned back to look at Chi Xia. His voice was cold as he said, Do you want to stay here and wait for that person to get up and continue beating him up? Chi Xia panicked and quickly followed Su Chen into the dining room. So, he was also at dinner tonight. This Qiao Mu was actually deliberately hiding it from her! She was just having dinner with the three of them! Chi Xias heart was in a mess as she looked at the back of the man in front of her. He said that he did not like to meddle in other peoples business. Lu Jingzhi was with Baby Guan, so he came out to help her out? Chi Xia walked forward with her head lowered. She did not notice that the man in front of her had stopped and bumped into his back. Su Chen turned around and looked at her. Did you not bring your brain with you? Chi Xia blushed in embarrassment and apologized. The elevator door opened. Su Chen took two steps forward and realized that Chi Xia was not following him. He wanted to reach out to hold her hand, but as soon as his hand reached out, he pulled it back. He only reminded her that it was time to leave before entering the elevator. He had already forgotten that they were not in any rtionship now. She did not like him touching her either. Being with him would make her feel ufortable. After Lu Jingzhi walked out of the restaurant, he saw Baby Guan fighting with a man. His face was dark and ugly. He walked over and kicked the man twice, causing him to fall to the ground. He did not give up and continued to kick him twice. He was extremely ruthless. Baby Guan was stunned as she watched from the side. This was the first time she had seen such a ruthless side of Lu Jingzhi. She had been fighting with this person for a long time and could not escape, but she was restrained by Lu Jingzhi in just two moves.
In the past, every time she fought with him, he only restrained her actions and never fought back. [Continue updating in the afternoon] Chapter 777: Promise to Be Obedient in the Future Chapter 777: Promise to Be Obedient in the Future
Trantor:549690339 Only now did he realize that she was nothing but a three-legged cat in front of him. Lu Jingzhi turned around to look at Baby Guan and asked with a dark face, Are you hurt? Baby Guan shook her head, looking indifferent. Im not that easily hurt. Im just unhappy that I didnt let that bastard get hurt. After Baby Guan finished speaking, Lu Jingzhis expression turned ugly. Then, she heard the mans angry roar, Are you a pig? You still dare to show off? Do you think youre so powerful that you didnt make a move? With your skills, you still want to fight with others. Dont you have a brain? Baby Guan was stunned by Lu Jingzhis roar and could not react for a moment.
Although she admitted that she was only a three-legged cat in front of him, in front of others, she was still able to show off. Being looked down upon by him like this made her, the daughter of a martial arts family, feel very ufortable. Without waiting for her to speak, Lu Jingzhi continued to shout, Baby Guan, you better behave yourself in the future. Dont touch me so easily. A woman should behave like a woman. If I see you fighting with someone again, Ill p your hands and feet! Baby Guan was speechless. He was really addicted to caring about her! Baby Guan was so angry that she kicked Lu Jingzhi without saying a word. When dealing with this man, she always had to be direct. As she kicked him, she retorted,You dont think much of my skills, do you? Who told you to care about me? The more you dont let me fight, the more I want to fight! Lu Jingzhi grabbed her leg that was kicking him. I want to hit you. Ill apany you. Dont even think about hitting anyone else except me. Why? I cant beat you and Im always bullied by you. Do you feel good? Its indeed very satisfying. Baby Guan was stunned. Then, the man grabbed her leg and pulled her hard. She threw herself onto him. The next second, her vision blurred and she was lifted up by Lu Jingzhi!
To be more precise, he was carrying her on his shoulder with her head facing down. Lu Jingzhi, what are you doing?! Lu Jingzhi did not say anything and carried Baby Guan into the dining room. There were people walking around the restaurant, and Baby Guans face had nowhere to hide. She kept hitting him on the back, and then a certain man shamelessly patted her butt. Behave yourself! Dont you find it embarrassing? Put me down! You still know how to embarrass yourself? It seems that it hasnt reached the point of no cure. Baby Guan was speechless. Baby Guan had always been a high-ranking youngdy. She had never been controlled by someone like this. She was going crazy. However, at this moment, she could not break free from Lu Jingzhis restraint and could only give in. Lu Jingzhi, put me down. Ill listen to you, okay? Lu Jingzhi stopped in his tracks. Will you listen to me in the future? I promise to be obedient in the future! After hearing Baby Guans answer, Lu Jingzhi was satisfied and put her down. However, Baby Guan ran away as soon as her feet touched the ground.
However, before she could take two steps, someone grabbed her wrist. She gritted her teeth in anger and turned around to re at Lu Jingzhi. Lu Jingzhi nced at her. Is your promise that worthless? Baby Guan, you cant even beat a normal hooligan, and you still want to resist me. No wonder your brother repeatedly told me to keep an eye on you. You dont have the ability, but you still like to cause trouble. You better restrain yourself in the future! Baby Guans proud kung fu skills had been ridiculed by Lu Jingzhi. Lu Jingzhi did not care how unhappy Baby Guan was and dragged her back to the private room. Chapter 778: Dinner with Different Thoughts (1) Chapter 778: Dinner with Different Thoughts (1)
Trantor:549690339 The seafood feast was already served on the table. Qiao Mu did not care that everyone was not there yet. She chewed on the crab while waiting for Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi to bring Chi Xia and Baby Guan back. Ling Xi, who was standing at the side, appeared bored. Qiao Mu teased him, Young Master Ling, do you think that its very embarrassing to not have a woman at this time? Ling Xi hadnt even started eating yet, but he was already full from anger. Ling Xi raised his hands in surrender and looked at Li Yan pleadingly. Big Brother, can you control your husband? Is it embarrassing that he doesnt have a woman? This means that Im chaste! Li Yan did not think much of it. He helped Qiao Mu open the crabs shell while throwing an indifferent sentence at Ling Xi, Youre not young anymore. You should indeed find a woman. Uncle and Auntie werent in a hurry in the past because we were both single. Now that the people around us have partners, youre the only one whos single. If youre not in a hurry, theyll be anxious too.
Ling Xi was speechless. Was this what his big brother said? Since when did this man like to poke his nose into family matters! Was she forcing him to get married? Ling Xi felt that he couldnt eat this meal anymore. At this moment, the door of the private room opened. Someone entered and finally broke the deadlock. Su Chen and Chi Xia came in. Su Chen sat down expressionlessly, while Chi Xia followed behind him with her head lowered. She secretly red at Qiao Mu, annoyed that she didnt tell them that Su Chen was also having dinner with them today. Qiao Mu lowered her head and nibbled on the crab. She pretended not to notice Chi Xias gaze and asked with concern, Xiaxia, are you alright? Im fine. Its my baby who got into a fight. Chi Xia saw that there were three empty seats left and could only sit beside Su Chen. The remaining two seats were left for Lu Jingzhi and Baby Guan. As he spoke, Lu Jingzhi dragged Baby Guan into the house. Baby Guan looked unconvinced and grunted in displeasure. Baby, are you hurt? Qiao Mu hurriedly asked.
Baby Guan raised her chin and said shamelessly, Im fine. Its just two hooligans. I took care of them in a few moves! Chi Xia was speechless. Could she just watch from the side? He really lied without blinking. Chi Xia was too embarrassed to expose Baby Guan. Lu Jingzhi, who was standing beside her, did not give her any face. He sneered, If I dont go over, I dont know who will be the one to settle who. How dare you talk big! Baby Guan blushed and red at Lu Jingzhi. She gritted her teeth and said, I want to show off my martial arts to Mu Mu. Can you keep your mouth shut? Qiao Mu was speechless. No wonder Lu Jingzhi was angry. It turned out that Baby Guan had been bullied. Qiao Mu peeled the prawns as she watched themotion, and she identally pricked her finger with the prawns head, causing her to groan in pain. Whats wrong? Li Yan frowned. He held Qiao Mus hand and sized it up before putting her finger into his mouth and sucking. This action stunned Qiao Mu. She felt a warm sensation on her finger, and that touch directly invaded her heart, causing her to suddenly blush. She quickly pulled her hand back and red at him with a red face. Im fine. Its just a prick. This was in front of others. Could he pay attention to his actions? It didnt matter if he was thick-skinned, but she would be shy, okay?
Mu Mu, do you know if there are any other rich and handsome men like him around Young Master Li? Baobei Guan said faintly. Can you introduce one to me? Qiao Mu nodded. Yes. Chapter 779: Dinner with Different Thoughts (2) Chapter 779: Dinner with Different Thoughts (2)
Trantor:549690339 Baby Guan looked excited. Hurry up and introduce me! Qiao Mu nodded at Lu Jingzhi with her chin. Here, its right beside you. Baby Guan rolled her eyes. Are you kidding me? Lu Jingzhis face darkened. She looked so disgusted that she really deserved a beating! Baby Guan picked up a crab. Her eyes shed, and the crab in her hand fell on the table. At the same time, she let out a cry and frowned.
What happened? This time, it was Lu Jingzhi who was anxious. Baby Guan rubbed her hands. I think I got hurt when I fought with someone just now. It hurts a little. Ill take you to the hospital! Lu Jingzhi stood up abruptly. Ah, its fine. Its just a bruise. Itll be fine after the swelling goes down. Baby Guan used her other hand to pull Lu Jingzhi back to his seat. Then, she put on a pitiful look. Its just that I cant eat crabs anymore. Lu Jingzhi frowned and was about to teach Baby Guan a lesson when he saw Baby Guan cing the crab in front of him. You eat it. Ill watch you eat it to satisfy your craving. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. This woman had always been carefree in front of him. Now that she suddenly became weak and pitiful, his heart could not help but soften. However, no matter how he looked at her, he felt that she was hypocritical. This womans behavior was clearly not sincere. Lu Jingzhi nced at Baby Guans hand. She was still moving freely just now, but now she was injured? Soon, Lu Jingzhi understood what was going on. He knew that she was pretending, but he did not expose her. Silently, he opened the crab and cleaned it bit by bit before cing it in front of Baby Guan. Baby Guan was extremely smug in her heart. The feeling of being served was really satisfying!
Qiao Mu couldnt help but want tough when she saw Baby Guan eating happily. Not only was Baby Guans kung fu amazing, but her acting skills were also superb. On the other side, Chi Xia and Su Chen were not as happy. As Qiao Mu was observing, the man beside her peeled a prawn and handed it to her. She opened her mouth and ate it, and then she heard the man say, Focus on eating. Why are you so nosy? Qiao Mu pointed at the sashimi on the other end of the table. Uncle, I want to eat that. Li Yan reached out to spin the table. At this moment, Chi Xia was about to pick up some food and did not notice Li Yans actions. The prawns that she was about to eat were moved away and she did not pick up anything. With her chopsticks in her mouth, she watched Li Yan pick up the sashimi and was about to turn the table when Su Chen beat her to it. The cheese prawns stopped in front of Su Chen. Chi Xia reached out to grab them, but she could not reach them. Su Chen picked one prawn and ced it in her bowl the next second. Chi Xia was stunned. Before she could react, Su Chen picked up another one for her. After that, Su Chen ate his food as if nothing had happened. Chi Xia lowered her head to look at the two prawns and finally started eating. After eating, Chi Xia took a crab. She opened the shell and found that there was water in the crab. It was not fresh. She looked at the other people who were eating so much yellow, so why did she choose such a dish!
Just as she was about to make do with Chi Xia, another crab appeared in front of her. The one that was not fresh had been taken away and thrown into the bowl of trash. In an instant, Chi Xia felt as if her heart was slowly being stuffed. She could not describe what she was feeling. What was he trying to do? What was he trying to do? Chapter 780: Picked Up A Girlfriend (1) Chapter 780: Picked Up A Girlfriend (1)
Trantor:549690339 Chi Xia looked up at Su Chen. The man was nonchntly eating his food and taking a sip of tea. He then turned to look at her and met her gaze. He raised his eyebrows. Whats the matter? Of course there was something! They were in an awkward rtionship now. What was he doing to her? Chi Xia could not understand what Su Chen was thinking at all. She did not understand him from the start, and she did not want to understand him either. But now, he was messing with her!
Chi Xia didnt say what she was thinking. She lowered her head and ate the crab silently. While Chi Xia was munching on a crab, Qiao Mu reminded Su Chen, Young Master Su, pass the ginger juice to Xiaxia. Crabs are cold by nature, so tell Xiaxia to eat more ginger. Upon hearing this, Chi Xia raised her head and red at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu then looked away as if nothing had happened andpletely ignored her. Ill do it myself, Chi Xia said hurriedly. Su Chen ignored her and ced the ginger juice in front of her. Qiao Mu was secretly amused at the side and whispered to Li Yan, Uncle, Su Chen is actually quite smart! Li Yan was helpless. Hurry up and eat your food. Im already full. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, Ling Xi added, Im full too. Even if he wasnt full from eating, he was full from watching the show. Ling Xi stood up. You guys continue. I have something to doter. Ill be leaving first. What arrangements do you have? Lu Jingzhi asked.
Looking for a woman. Ling Xi said and left. It seemed that Young Master Ling had been provoked quite badly. Ling Xi left the private room and was about to walk to the elevator when he passed by a private room. The door of the private room was open. He casually nced inside and saw a familiar figure. That woman was Ye Nuan, and the man opposite her was tall and thin. He was the pretty boy she had brought into the restaurantst time. Across the table, the man touched Ye Nuans hand, but Ye Nuan flung it away. The pretty boy was instantly enraged. Immediately after, an angry roar came from the private room. Ye Nuan, thats enough. I only touched you once. Youre your boyfriend, not some wretched man. Do you have to have such a big reaction? Young Master Lin, Ye Nuan said expressionlessly, we agreed from the start that we would keep our distance. You agreed to it. Yes, sir! I respect your suggestion. I thought that if I treated you better, you would at least be touched. But youre so shameless! Weve been together for three months. Other than holding hands, were not allowed to develop any further. I know youre using me as your backer. I dont believe it today. So what if I touch you! As he spoke, the man held Ye Nuans hand again. Ye Nuan pushed it away with a cold expression. From the beginning, we were just using each other. I used your power, and you brought me along to make you proud. Since you want to fall out with me, theres no need to continue! You! The man took out a wad of money from his bag and threw it on the table. Thirty thousand yuan. Im going to sleep with you tonight! Im sorry, Young Master Lin. Im not interested in you either! Ye Nuan took her bag and was about to leave when the man stepped forward to stop her. If you want to leave, can you?
Ye Nuan ers face darkened. At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open and Ling Xi walked in. Ye Nuan turned around and saw Ling Xi. A hint of surprise shed across her eyes. Young Master Lin red angrily at the door.Who the f * ck is disturbing me! Ling Xi shrugged. Im here to watch a good show. Young Master Lin looked at Ling Xi. Who the f * ck are you? Get lost. Im teaching my woman a lesson. Cant you see? Chapter 781: Picked Up A Girlfriend (2) Chapter 781: Picked Up A Girlfriend (2)
Trantor:549690339 Ling Xi sized Ye Nuan up. Its time to teach this kind of woman a lesson. She found such a tasteless boyfriend, yet she didnt allow her to progress further. Is her brain fried? You look so wretched. How can you not want to eat tofu? You! I can tell, Ye Nuan, this is the helper you found! What, youve found a new job, so youre kicking me out? Young Master Lin pointed at Ye Nuan. Alright, youre really something! Youre pretending to be serious in front of me, but youre sleeping with another man! Ling Xi frowned. He lifted his leg and kicked the mans chest. He sneered, Thats right, Im kicking you out now. Ye Nuan was shocked. Before she could react, she was dragged away by Ling Xi. After leaving the dining room, Ye Nuan made sure that no one was chasing after her. She then heaved a sigh of relief and shook Ling Xi off. Thank you, Ill get going first.
Ling Xi pulled a long face and stopped Ye Nuan. What, I helped you, and youre done with just a thank you? Then what do you want? Ye Nuan red at him. You messed up my business. Im already giving you face by thanking you. Screw it up? You really dont appreciate it. Dont tell me you really want to stay and let that gigolo sleep with you? Hearing Ling Xis words, Ye Nuan was furious. What does it have to do with you? What do you care? Did Young Master Lin think it was easy for her to find him? In her line of work, without a backer, she would only end up being taken advantage of. She took advantage of Young Master Lins interest in her and agreed to date him. Usually, she would apany Young Master Lin to high-ss events. She could also use Young Master Lins identity to get good treatment, but the prerequisite was that she could not do anything intimate in private. At most, she could only hold his hand in front of outsiders. But recently, Young Master Lin was getting more and more impatient and wanted to take her to the next level. She knew that this rtionship could not continue. They could have broken up amicably, but after Ling Xis ruckus, her career would definitely be affected. Ling Xi looked at Ye Nuans ungrateful attitude and raised his hand to grab Ye Nuans chin. If you want to cling onto power so badly, I can satisfy you. Ling Xis lips curled up coldly as he gave a suggestion. Im much better than that pretty boy. Be my woman and Ill give you what you want. Ye Nuan was stunned and pped his hand away. I dont like people touching me! Heh, you think Im interested in you? Im clean and Im not interested in trash like you. Youck a backer, but Im just a formal woman. Were a perfect match. Whatever that pretty boy can give you, I can satisfy him. Ling Xi raised an eyebrow. How about this deal?
Ye Nuan clenched her fists. Even though she really minded Ling Xis sarcastic attitude, this deal was definitely beneficial to her. In this industry, if one wanted to continue on without being taken advantage of, one needed a backer. Ling Xi was obviously the best candidate. Ye Nuan took a deep breath. Then Ill state my conditions first. If you agree, well I agree. Alright, cut the crap and lets go. Ling Xi held Ye Nuans hand and walked towards the car. I havent said anything! You dont have to say it. Anyway, Im not interested in you. I also dislike those women who cling onto me. Youre so self-aware. Its exactly what I want. Walking to the car, Ling Xi looked at Ye Nuan. Im just afraid that youll be like that pretty boy from before. After a while, youll have ulterior motives against me. Ye Nuan was speechless. Youre thinking too much. Where are you going? As your boyfriend in name, I naturally have to send you home. He picked up a ready-made woman. Not bad. Chapter 782: Mumu, Marry Me (1) Chapter 782: Mumu, Marry Me (1)
Trantor:549690339 After a meal in the restaurant, everyone went home. After Chi Xia and Su Chen left, Qiao Mu felt relieved and left the restaurant with Li Yan. As he walked to the entrance of the restaurant, he was about to bump into Key, who wasing out of the restaurant. Qiao Mu waved at Key. Teacher Key, youre here to eat too. What a coincidence. Key smiled and looked at Li Yan. He nodded politely at Li Yan.
Li Yan nodded in response. It was a greeting between the two men. Key looked at Qiao Mu and said, I wanted to inform you tomorrow, but since Ive met you, Ill tell you that as the champion, your schedule will be quite full in the future. Come to the studio on Monday and Ill inform you of the specific arrangements. Alright, Teacher Key. Qiao Mu nodded with a smile. Li Yan looked at the little woman beside him. Her attitude was very enthusiastic when she was facing her idol. It waspletely different from when she was facing others. He narrowed his eyes, and the way he looked at Key changed. Key felt a hint of coldness in Li Yans gaze when he looked at him. He then looked at Qiao Mu and understood a little. He smiled. President Li, I still have something to do. Ill be leaving first. Li Yan nodded. When he saw Key turn around and leave, he turned his head slightly and his gazended on Qiao Mu. Youve already left. Havent you seen enough? Qiao Mu was stunned. She looked up and met those deep eyes, displeasure shing in her eyes. Qiao Mu suddenly smiled andforted the man. Uncle, how much do you want? How many times have I told you that Teacher Key is GAY? Li Yan raised his cold eyes. Do you think Ill believe you just because you said hes GAY? I see that hes quite enthusiastic about you. A hint of fear suddenly appeared in Qiao Mus eyes. Uncle, dont tell me Teacher Key has taken a fancy to you?
Li Yan was speechless. Li Yans eyes darkened little by little. Qiao Mu chuckled and held Li Yans hand as they walked towards the car. As they walked, she said, Uncle, youre really charming. Not only do women like you, but even men cant escape your handsomeness. Li Yan was both angry and helpless. He knew that this little thing was fooling him, but he could not get angry. Key, who was walking to the other side, paused for a moment when he heard Qiao Mus words. Then, he walked forward as if nothing had happened. When Qiao Mu and Li Yan returned home, it was already veryte. Qiao Mu went straight into the bathroom to wash up. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Li Yan standing by the bed, holding her trophy and sizing it up. She had been putting the trophy on the bedside table, waiting for her toe back and give him a surprise. However, after todays mess, she had actually forgotten about it when she got home! Uncle, do you like it? This is my first achievement. Ill give it to you! Qiao Mu sounded very proud. I like it. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up, and his slender arms pulled Qiao Mus petite body into his embrace. He said in a low and deep voice, Dont you think theres something missing? What do youck? Qiao Mu asked subconsciously. When she saw the ambiguous look in the mans eyes, she suddenly remembered what he had said on the phone earlier, asking her to propose to him with the trophy. Qiao Mus face couldnt help but turn red, and she pushed her away. Im going to sleep.
Yes, its indeed time to sleep. I didnt sleep enough during the day, so Ill make up for it at night. As Li Yan spoke, he followed Qiao Mu onto the bed. Qiao Mu didnt know if her thoughts had been dyed ck by him. He clearly said those words in a serious manner, but she felt that there was a hidden color in them. He didnt sleep enough during the day, so he made up for it at night. These words were clearly hinting at something, alright? Qiao Mu ignored the man behind her and closed her eyes to sleep with her back facing him. Chapter 783: Mumu, Marry Me (2) Chapter 783: Mumu, Marry Me (2)
Trantor:549690339 Li Yans arm hooked around Qiao Mus waist, and he held her firmly in his embrace. He hugged her from behind, his warm breath blowing on her neck, then lingered on her skin. Qiao Mu only felt her entire body quiver, and a hot stream of air flowed through her entire body, making her feel numb. She turned around and wanted to stop him, but his lips were sealed and a passionate kiss came. Qiao Mu felt dizzy from the kiss, and the man suddenly stopped.
Li Yansrge hand caressed Qiao Mus face and tucked her hair behind her ear. He said softly, Why are you avoiding what I just said? He was referring to the trophy. Qiao Mu pushed him with a red face. Dont joke around! Li Yan looked at Qiao Mus blushing face, and his starry eyes were extremely blurry. He narrowed his eyes and kissed her lips again. Just as Qiao Mu was feeling dizzy, she heard the mans deep voice. Im not joking. Startled, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him. She saw the mans lips curl up into a beautiful arc. Although his deep eyes were filled with emotion, there was a trace of seriousness mixed in. Then, his voice slowly sounded, Mumu, marry me. Mumu, marry me Qiao Mu was instantly stunned. What did he say? She began to wonder if she was hallucinating. After all, she was a little mesmerized by him at this moment. She just stared at him nkly without nodding or shaking her head. She did not give him any response.
Looking at her silly look, Li Yan chuckled in a good mood. It was really a critical moment. He was always being silly. The more she acted like this, the more the fire in his heart burned uncontrobly. His body tensed up. Then, he heard her reply, What did you say? Li Yan narrowed his eyes. As she spoke, he leaned forward and took her in. Following Qiao Mus low growl, Li Yans low and hoarse voice slowly rang out, repeating Qiao Mus uncertain words. Mumu, marry me. The corners of his lips curled up. Little thing, since youre not proposing, then Ill be the one proposing to you. He, he, heWas he proposing to her? What kind of proposal was this! Was there anyone who would propose in such a situation? Was this a romantic conversation in bed, or was this a serious proposal? Even though they were sweet nothings, Qiao Mus emotions could not help but fluctuate along with them. That kind of surprise that she had never felt before almost swallowed her whole.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her. So, youre going to ept it silently? Qiao Mu bit her lip, and her voice was a little intermittent. This doesnt count! Hmm? I dont ept it! Upon hearing Qiao Mus reply, Li Yan suddenly increased his movements. Still not epting? Qiao Mu was speechless. How was this a proposal? This was clearly forcing a marriage! In the end, Qiao Mu really couldnt take it anymore and almost cried from being bullied. She could only weakly shout, Bastard, you bullied me! You cant be like this! Although she was surprised by his proposal, the way he proposed was really tooHe couldnt be seen on the stage anymore! Finally, the proposal ended, and Qiao Mu was already exhausted. However, the man refused to give up and continued to ask, How was it? Was your mans proposal special?
Qiao Mu was speechless. Ritual your sister! If this could be considered a proposal ceremony, then all the men in the world would be eager to propose every day! He could actually think of such a vulgar method! Chapter 784: Mumu, Marry Me (3) Chapter 784: Mumu, Marry Me (3)
Trantor:549690339 Li Yan was displeased with Qiao Mus attitude. He turned her around and made her face him. Is this how you handle my proposal? Qiao Mu opened her mouth and bit the mans chest, ring at him angrily. This doesnt count! Dont confuse being a hooligan with proposing, okay? Li Yan curled his lips. So you think Im a hooligan. Then let me be a hooligan to you for the rest of my life, okay? Qiao Mu blushed. Pervert! Suddenly, the smile on the mans face disappeared, and the yful look in his eyes disappeared. He looked serious. Mu Mu, Im not joking with you.
Qiao Mus heart skipped a beat when she met the mans gaze. How could she not know that he was serious? He had never made such a joke. Although he treated her with a teasing attitude, the things he did to her were not as casual as he appeared. She knew that he was serious, which was why she was angry. Qiao Mu snorted. I hope youre joking. What did you say? Li Yans eyes darkened and he looked displeased. So, you dont want to marry me? Seeing that he was angry, Qiao Mu pinched his waist. Why are you so fierce? Im the one who should be angry! Your casual proposal doesnt bring out my importance at all, okay? I wont agree to it! So this little thing was bothered by this. Li Yans expression softened a little as he caressed her back with hisrge hand. The form is not important. Whats important is the intention. Where are your intentions? I cant see it at all. You mean, you want me to show your sincerity again? Qiao Mu was speechless.
He was starting to be indecent again. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Anyway, this is a major event in my life. If I say I wont ept it, I wont ept it! Li Yan felt a little helpless. He had thought that the little woman would nod at him happily with just a word from him. However, he never expected that this little fellow would be so difficult to please! Mu Mu Li Yan was about to say something when Qiao Mu waved her hand and interrupted him. She mumbled, I havent reached the legal age to get married yet. What you need to do now is to give me a satisfactory proposal ceremony. You still have more than a year to slowly prepare. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she hugged Li Yan and fell asleep. Li Yan was both angry and helpless. He had proposed to her, and she had used this kind of attitude to brush him off! He didnt pay attention to him at all! If it wasnt for the fact that she couldnt register her marriage now, he wouldnt have proposed. He would have taken her to the Civil Affairs Bureau and stamped his seal to dere his sovereignty. There was still more than a year before he could marry this little thing. Li Yan suddenly thought of what Yu Yiduo said. If Qiao Mu had a change of heart before she married him
Li Yans eyes darkened at the thought of this. He was really mad at this little woman. That was why he had such uncertain thoughts. The woman in his arms was obviously very tired and was sleeping soundly. Li Yan held his phone by the bedside and hesitated for a long time before sending a message to Yu Yiduo. Mom, how did my dad propose to you back then? Two minutes after the message was sent, a womans scream rang out in another vi of the Li family. Yu Yiduo was so excited that she grabbed Li Zheng and shouted, Hubby, our son is going to propose to our daughter-inw! Li Zheng felt like he was going deaf. She wasnt the one being proposed to, so why was she so agitated? When he proposed to her back then, she was not this excited. Chapter 785: Mumu, Marry Me (4) Chapter 785: Mumu, Marry Me (4)
Trantor:549690339 Yu Yiduo read the message and was too excited to think. She turned to look at the man beside her. Hubby, how did you propose to me back then? Li Zheng nced at Yu Yiduo. Have I ever proposed to you? You didnt? If you dont propose to me, how can I marry you?! Li Zheng was speechless. After living together for 30 years, this woman had indeed forgotten about their past!
I didnt ask for it, you threw yourself into my arms! Li Zheng replied in a bad mood. Yu Yiduo was immediately unhappy when she heard his words. You answer so confidently. I was blind to trade my lifes happiness with you. In the end, there was no romance at all! Li Zheng frowned. Have you forgotten? Didnt Ipensate you with my proposalter? Yu Yiduo thought about it. Back then, her marriage with Li Zheng was just a deal. Later on, after the deal, they had feelings for each other, and Li Zheng had proposed to her once. As for the process Yu Yiduo pped her head. How could she have forgotten! After she got pregnant, her belly grew bigger day by day. At that time, her feelings for Li Zheng were still unstable. Once again, Li Zheng knelt down in front of her with one knee and ced one hand on her neck. He told her with deep affection and seriousness that he would take care of her and the child for the rest of their lives and protect them for the rest of their lives. He hoped that she would give him this chance. At that time, Yu Yiduo was so touched that she nodded in agreement. The two of them had buried the hatchet and were blissful from then on. Thinking of this, Yu Yiduo started to reminisce again. After a while, she calmed down and sent a message to Li Yan.Son, your fathers proposal doesnt seem to work on you. The life he proposed to me, youre in my stomach. If you want to imitate us, you have to give birth to my grandson first! Li Yan was waiting for a message on his phone. A few minutester, he received a reply. When he saw the line of text, he frowned. Then, Ms. Yu sent another message.The proposal is really important. This matter concerns your happiness for the rest of your lives. If the proposal doesnt seed, Mumu will use this matter to cause trouble for you from time to time in the future. Dont me me for not reminding you in advance. Li Yans lips twitched.
Ms. Yu seemed to be addicted as she sent Li Yan messages one after another to give him ideas. Other peoples proposals are all about hugging roses, kneeling on one knee, giving a diamond ring, holding a romantic wedding banquet, and putting the diamond ring into the food. Just thinking about it is quite romantic. Mumu will definitely be happy. Or if you like to have a hydrogen balloon in the air with words like Mumu, marry me, Ill love you forever written on it, then Mumu might be loyal to you forever. Li Yan rubbed his temples. He felt a headache as he read the messages one after another. He must be crazy to ask her this question. He lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. He thought that marrying her would be a simple matter, but he didnt expect that he would be stumped by the proposal ceremony. Li Yan had never been a romantic person. If she liked it, he would give it to her. If she wanted it, he would satisfy her. This was the most direct way for him to treat her well. He felt that he had spent almost 30 years of his emotional cells on her, and now he was facing such a difficult problem. Li Yan sighed helplessly. It seemed like he really had to think about how to marry this little woman. Chapter 786: Mumu, Marry Me (5) Chapter 786: Mumu, Marry Me (5)
Trantor:549690339 The next day, Qiao Mu woke up groggily. She felt that the man beside her was still there, so shezily hugged him and found afortable spot to snuggle in his embrace. The hand around her waist tightened. Qiao Mu opened her eyes and met the mans gaze. His mind went nk as he muttered, Good morning, Uncle. Li Yan looked down at her. Ill give you one more chance. Give me an answer. Li Yans words made Qiao Mus head spin. She had just woken up in the morning and was still not fully awake.
She stared at him nkly and pondered over his words. It took her a while to realize what he meant! He proposed to herst night! Therefore, he was waiting for her reply! Give her another chance! Did he think that he could seed just by acting cool? In an instant, Qiao Mus mind cleared up. She rolled her eyes at him. Mr. Li, can you not treat my lifes important matters with the parts below my neck? If you are sincere, please think from your neck up and give me a proposal. Li Yan narrowed his eyes. This little thing was already so eloquent after waking up early in the morning! Although Qiao Mu was very quick-witted and intelligent, she was still muddle-headed in front of him. She used her intelligence to treat others. However, how could she be rational about this matter? She had not been surprised sincest night! Li Yan looked at her unhappily. Cant you feel my sincerity? Qiao Mu saw that the mans expression was very serious. She was using a very serious attitude to propose to her in such a direct manner. When she was talking about this topicst night, she was already very excited. However, under those circumstances, she hid her excitement.
Now that she had calmed down, her heart could not help but throb. This man had proposed to her, which waspletely out of her expectations. However, she was more insatiable. Since she had proposed, she should be more sincere, right? It was simply uneptable for her to do it directly in the bed. Qiao Mu wrapped her arms around Li Yans neck and looked at him seriously. Uncle, actually, its still a little early for us to discuss this topic. After all, Im still one or two years away from getting married. Li Yan narrowed his eyes coldly. So, youre rejecting my proposal? Is that considered a proposal? Youre acting like a hooligan. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Li Yan did not think much of it. He held her hand and stretched it under his body. I just wanted to tell you through this matter that if I want to do it, youll do it for the rest of your life. Isnt it obvious that youre sincere? Qiao Mu was speechless. This stinky hooligan! How could he say such words! Qiao Mu pulled her hand back in embarrassment and pushed him away. Youd better stay single for the rest of your life! Li Yans lips curled up. Little thing, I used my actions to express my feelings for you. I used my actions to love you for the rest of my life. Arent you happy?
Qiao Mu gnashed her teeth. He even asked for such a hooligan to propose to him. He truly had no limits. Qiao Mu slyly curled her lips. The act of ying with fire provoked Young Master Lis dignity as a man. Uncle, are you sure you can do it forever? After all, theres a gap in our ages. In the future, when youre old and Im still young, what should I do? Li Yans expression changed as expected. Li Yans lips curled into an evil smile as he looked at her sinisterly. So, to prevent this from happening, Ill do my best to satisfy you. Am I right? Qiao Mu felt like she was digging a hole for herself. Chapter 787: Qiao Mu, I Like Meeting You Chapter 787: Qiao Mu, I Like Meeting You
Trantor:549690339 Uncle, Im just joking. Youre not old at all. Youre really not old at all! Qiao Mu chuckled, then slowly crawled out of Li Yans embrace and slipped into the bathroom. Li Yan shook his head helplessly as he watched the fleeing figure. He picked up his phone and saw that Ms. Yu had sent him a bunch of marriage proposalsst night. He felt a headacheing on. After breakfast, Li Yan sent Qiao Mu to school before returning to thepany to get busy. Qiao Mu saw Chi Xia and went up to ask, Xiaxia, you left with Su Chenst night. Are you alright?
I didnt leave with him. I took a taxi after I left the hotel. Chi Xia replied nonchntly. Qiao Mu was stunned. Why are you still so stiff with him? I thought you two should have made progress. Chi Xia shrugged nonchntly. Dont even think about it. Its impossible between us. He has a new lover now. Good? Didnt I exin to you about the big transvestite I saw at the mall? Its not him. Chi Xias expression was calm as if nothing had happened. Its Mirou. Qiao Mus eyes widened. She knew Mirou, Gu Chengs fiance. Now that Gu Cheng had abandoned her, she actually hooked up with Su Chen? Even though Qiao Mu had never seen Mi Rou in person, Su Chen probably wouldnt like that kind of woman! Is this a misunderstanding? Qiao Mu asked after some thought. I already knew about this. Mirou and Su Chen have been in contact in private. I know that shes taking revenge on me because of Gu Cheng and provoking me. Whether its a misunderstanding or not, it has nothing to do with me. Chi Xia said casually. Qiao Mu frowned. Xiaxia, do you really not like Su Chen, or are you avoiding reality? Can you really not care that the same woman ruined two rtionships? If it were me, I would definitely snatch Su Chen back from Mi Rou. Chi Xia lowered her eyes and remained silent. Snatch it back? How? Su Chen wasnt hers at all. How could she snatch him? Chi Xias mind was in a mess. She had been trying her best to calm herself down. Two nights was nothing. She could pretend nothing had happened. However, after the mealst night, her mind became even more confused.
When she left the hotelst night, she ignored Su Chens attempts to stop her and jumped into a taxi to leave. Through the car window, she could see Su Chens cold expression. Forget it, everything was in the past. Qiao Mu wanted to persuade Chi Xia again, but her phone suddenly rang. It was a string of unknown numbers. She picked up the call. When she heard the other partys voice, her body stiffened and her face darkened. Qiao Mu, Im Shu Xinyu. I wish to meet you. Qiao Mu gripped her phone tightly and said coldly, Im sorry, Ms. Shu. Ive already made myself clear on the phone thest time. I have nothing to talk to you about. Shu Xinyu refused to give up. Im at your school gate now. If you donte out, I can wait for you. You dont want me to go to your principals ce to greet him, do you? Im very familiar with your principal. Qiao Mus eyes turned cold. After seeing Shu Xinyus information, she felt an indescribable awkwardness in her heart when she interacted with this woman again. There was a subtle change in her heart that she could not describe. She took a deep breath. Theres a tea restaurant at the east gate of the school. Wait for me there. After hanging up, Chi Xia asked worriedly, Shu Xinyu? Why is she looking for you? For Ning Tongtong.
Mu Mu, this woman is not to be trifled with. Shall I go with you? Chi Xia stood up and followed. Qiao Mu shook her head.No need. Ill be back soon. Chapter 788: Ridiculously Selfish Chapter 788: Ridiculously Selfish
Trantor:549690339 In the cafe. After Qiao Mu entered, she saw Shu Xinyu sitting in the cubicle. Qiao Mu looked at the other party. Shu Xinyu had taken good care of herself, and there was not a single wrinkle on her face. There was no trace of a forty-year-old on her face at all. This seemingly morous woman made her feel extremely disgusted. Regardless of whether Shu Xinyu was rted to her or not, abandoning her own child for the sake of her stepdaughter and not being able to distinguish right from wrong, there was no trace of greatness in it.
Qiao Mu walked over and sat opposite Shu Xinyu. She looked at the graceful and elegant woman in front of her. Shu Xinyus current condition was not good, and she looked rather haggard. Qiao Mu lowered her eyes, and then she heard Shu Xinyu say, Qiao Mu, just say it. How can we let Ning Tongtong live? Just like thest time, he questioned her with the same high and mighty attitude. Qiao Mu curled her lips into a smile. Dont you think that saying this is veryughable? Why should I let Ning Tongtong go? I didnt frame her. She deserves what she deserves. Madam Shu, Ning Tongtong is your daughter. Just because you care about her doesnt mean that others will care about her! Shu Xinyus expression darkened. Qiao Mu, dont be too heartless. Youve already gotten what you deserve, whether its the championship or a good reputation. Ning Tongtongs reputation is almostpletely ruined now, so leaving a path for others wont do you any harm. Should I leave a path for her? Qiao Mu gritted her teeth, and the smile on her lips turned cold. Now that the truth is out, you asked me to show mercy, but did Ning Tongtong think of leaving me a way out? How did Ning Tongtong treat me when I was used of giarism? Every time, Shu Xinyu could break the worlds best stepmother record. To her, others were not worth mentioning at all. Only her daughter was the most important! Shu Xinyus attitude finally softened. Qiao Mu, I apologize to you on behalf of Tongtong. I promise that she wont make the same mistake again. As long as you can withdraw thewsuit against her, I can stop Tongs from operating. Ningning is still young and cant suffer such a blow. Please understand how I feel as a mother. I cant let Ning-Nings reputation be ruined because of this. This was the first time Qiao Mu had seen the other party lower herself to such an extent. The impression Shu Xinyu gave her was that she had always been arrogant and distant. Her attitude was high and mighty, and she did not take her seriously at all. Such a person had made such a big concession for a stepdaughter. Qiao Mu had always looked down on people like Ning Tongtong, yet Ning Tongtong was able to maintain such a rtionship with her stepmother. She didnt have the ability. In the end, it was because she failed.
Qiao Mu did not waver. Shu Xinyu, you should know very well how important copyright is in this industry, especially for a neer like me. Ning Tongtong still refuses to admit to giarism. If I withdraw thewsuit, Ning Tongtong will be fine, but who will guarantee my reputation? This was the reason why Key insisted on suing Ning Tongtong. Only when thewsuit was sessful would she bepletely removed from suspicion. Otherwise, there would always be people who would think that she was framing Ning Tongtong without seeing the evidence. She could not let her career be tainted. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, the pleading look on Shu Xinyus face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and her expression sank bit by bit. Qiao Mu, so you want to force Tongtong to her death? Qiao Mu really wanted tough out loud. Ning Tongtong giarized her work, and in the end, it was still her fault? Shu Xinyu was ridiculously selfish. Ning Tongtongs reputation was important, but wasnt it important for others? [Continueter] Chapter 789: So Heartless at Such a Young Age Chapter 789: So Heartless at Such a Young Age
Trantor:549690339 Seeing Shu Xinyu protect Ning Tongtong without distinguishing between right and wrong, Qiao Mu felt suffocated. Clenching her fists tightly, Qiao Mu stood up. Ning Tongtong deserved what she did. If we dont punish her, shell frame someone else the next time she sets me up. I dont think youre being nice to her. Ms. Shu, I dont think we need to talk anymore. Ill leave this matter to Key Studio. Please donte looking for me again. My decision wont change. Shu Xinyu was burning with rage. Qiao Mu! How can you be so heartless at such a young age? Tongtong did something wrong, and Ive already apologized to you. Why wont you let her go? Shes only 21, and youre going to ruin her? I really want to know how your mother raised you like this. I heard that your biological mother was a gambler and didnt want you since you were young. Your stepmother who went to prison really taught you to be cold-blooded and heartless! Your biological motherI didnt want you since I was young
Qiao Mus heart fiercely twitched when she heard this. She bit her lip hard, not wanting to let her emotions show. She smiled sarcastically. Youre right. My biological mother really doesnt want me anymore. Of course, I cantpare to Ning Tongtong. Her stepmother taught her to only giarize and use all kinds of dirty tricks. How can Ipare to her! You! Shu Xinyu stood up abruptly and pointed angrily at Qiao Mu. Alright! You just wont take a step back, will you? Qiao Mu, do you think you can stand your ground in this industry? Ill see how you fall! After Shu Xinyu finished speaking, she took a deep breath and returned to her usual cold and aloof expression. Then, she took her bag and left. Qiao Mus fists were tightly clenched, and her nails dug into her palms, causing her to be in so much pain that she could not breathe. After a while, all her strength was drained and she fell weakly on the sofa. Why? She did not do anything wrong, but her heart ached. Was it wrong for her to protect her own interests? Was it wrong of her to give Ning Tongtong the punishment she deserved? Why did Shu Xinyu act as if she had done something unpardonable and treated her as the main culprit? Just because Shu Xinyu was Ning Tongtongs mother and she didnt have a mother, she should be bullied? Qiao Mu knew from a young age that there had to be a right and a wrong in everything. Qiao Ya bullied her, and Yu Tingyun abused her. She felt that she deserved it because she was the illegitimate daughter who barged into their lives and destroyed their family, so she had always endured it silently.
She was already very satisfied that she could live a healthy life in the Qiao family and go to school. Therefore, she wanted to rely on her own efforts to graduate from university and leave this life. She was willing to take responsibility for her mistakes. Simrly, she would not be soft-hearted when others made mistakes. She had never felt that she was so kind that she could forget the pain others had caused her. However, what right did Shu Xinyu have to be so confident that she had to let Ning Tongtong off? If she was the unlucky one today, would they be considerate enough to give her a way out after she was schemed against by Ning Tongtong? At this moment, Qiao Mu had never been so unwilling to know who her parents were. She had never believed in the gods, but she wanted to pray to the gods that she would not feel despair for her mother again. She would rather not find her biological parents in this lifetime than suffer another blow. In the past few years, Zhou Jieru had hurt her enough. Chapter 790: Ms. Shu Is Really a Good Person Chapter 790: Ms. Shu Is Really a Good Person
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu stayed in the cafe for a long time before leaving. She hailed a cab and went straight to the orphanage. The orphanage was very quiet. It was not time for school to end yet. There were only a few children who were not yet of school age ying in the house. A nurse in her thirties saw Qiao Mu and came up to her. Miss, may I help you? Qiao Mu shook her head. I was passing by and came in to take a look. I came out of this orphanage.
The nurse understood. This orphanage has been established for more than 20 years. People oftene back to visit and even subsidize the children in our orphanage. May I know your name, Miss? My name is Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu asked. So its Miss Qiao. Not long ago, you invested a sum of money in the reconstruction of our orphanage. You protected the childrens dormitory and allowed the children to live a warm winter. Im really grateful. the nurse said excitedly. Qiao Mu was stunned. Even though she would often send food and school supplies over after learning about this orphanage, they were all anonymous. However, she had no idea what kind of investment funds they had. The nurse continued, Ever since you gave us the sponsorship funds, you havente by. Our director wanted to thank you properly. By the way, the person who came to settle this matter was a tall and big man. He was wearing a suit and looked quite cold. He was quite handsome. His surname was Lei. Hes your boyfriend, right? The other party was talking about Lei Yi. Qiao Mu finally understood. It turned out that Li Yan had sponsored this orphanage in her name, but he had never mentioned it to her. Her heart couldnt help but feel warm. The most rare thing was that she didnt say anything, but the other party could capture her thoughts and help her perfect what she wanted to do. Miss Qiao? The nurse called out when she saw Qiao Mu in a daze. Qiao Mu smiled. Presumably, everyone who leaves this ce will remember this ce. At this point, she paused and asked indifferently,Last time I saw Shu Xinyu handing out snacks to the kids here, could it be that Shu Xinyu has some kind of rtionship with this ce? Oh, youre Ms. Shu. Shes just a volunteer here. Shes friendly and kind. She sponsors our orphanage unconditionally and evenes to visit the children from time to time. Shes really a good person!
Hearing the nurses heartfelt praise, Qiao Mus lips twitched and she forced a smile. I thought she was like me and had something to do with the orphanage. How could this be? Our orphanage has only been established for twenty years. With Madam Yishus age, she definitely wouldnt be an orphan here. When another nurse passed by, she heard their conversation and interrupted,Are you talking about Madam Shu Xinyu? Madam Shu is really a good person. She has done a lot of good deeds for the orphanage over the years. She is noble and kind, and she has a happy life. As expected, the heavens are especially protective of kind people. Yeah, its really perfect! The nurse looked at Qiao Mu and seemed to have thought of something. Oh right, I remember that there was a time when a girl about thisdys age came to the orphanage to visit the director. Madam Shu was also there at that time. When Madam Shu found out that the girl had left the orphanage, her expression changed after she asked about the girls age, and she left in a panic. Ive never heard of this before. Whats going on? Could it be that Ms. Shu has something to do with the children in our orphanage? It cant be, right? Ms. Shu has been here so many times, but she has never asked about the child. If theres really something going on, wouldnt she ask around? Chapter 791: The Mother Who Abandoned Her Child Chapter 791: The Mother Who Abandoned Her Child
Trantor:549690339 Shu Xinyu had never asked about the child Qiao Mu furrowed her brows when she heard the nurses conversation. ording to the information that Li Yan had found, Shu Xinyu had indeed sent the child to this orphanage. However, the date of delivery was not clear, so he could not be sure that the child was her. No matter who it was, that woman was too cruel. After throwing her child away, she did not ask about his whereabouts. She really did not want that child, right? Previously, Qiao Mu had thought that Shu Xinyu often came to the orphanage to find her child. Now, she realized that the womans kindness to the orphanage was actually to make up for the guilt in her heart.
She wanted to make up for the guilt of abandoning her child on the other orphans. However, it did not change the fact that she did not want that child. It turned out that there really were mothers in this world who did not want their own children. Thinking about Shu Xinyus motherly love for Ning Tongtong at this moment made one feel disgusted. Qiao Mu left the orphanage and walked aimlessly along the street. She felt empty inside. She was especially afraid, afraid that all these coincidences would turn into reality. He was afraid that she had something to do with Shu Xinyu. She squatted down helplessly, trying to get rid of this thought. Her phone rang. She saw the caller ID and picked up the call. Uncle At this moment, Li Yan was preparing to return to thepany after settling some matters outside. He turned on his phone in the car and took out the map that tracked Qiao Mus location. He wanted to see what the little woman was doing. However, he saw that Qiao Mu was at an orphanage. Then, he called her directly and heard her slightly low voice. She was a little depressed.
Where are you? Li Yan asked softly. I just came out of the orphanage. Qiao Mu replied with a dull tone. Okay, Ill apany you next time. This simple sentence chased away the frustration in Qiao Mus heart. He didnt ask her why she suddenly went to the orphanage or why she was in low spirits. Instead, he considerately said that he would apany her next time. He wanted to tell her that he was always by her side. Uncle Qiao Mu called out. Hmm? I miss you. Wait for me there. Ill pick you up in 10 minutes. Alright. The most beautiful thing was that if you said that you missed him, that person would immediatelye to you.
Action was always more tempting than sweet words. This was a remote area in the suburbs, so Qiao Mu did not doubt whether he could rush over within ten minutes. She knew that her youngest uncle had said that he woulde, and even if he had to jerk off, he would stille to her side. Qiao Mu hung up the phone and squatted by the roadside without moving. Suddenly, a ck car stopped by the side of the road. She turned around in surprise. How was this ten minutes? It was clearly one minute, okay? However, the car parked by the roadside was not Li Yans car. Just as Qiao Mu was wondering if the person in the car was Li Yan, the car window rolled down, revealing the handsome face of a Western man. Qiao Mus joy was in vain. She should just obediently wait for ten minutes. Qiao Mu retracted her gaze and suddenly felt that the other party looked a little familiar. Moreover, there were no red street lights here, so what was this car doing here? At this moment, the man sitting in the drivers seat got out of the car and walked toward Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu tried her best to search for this mans face in her mind. She kept squatting and hugging her knees, forgetting to stand up. Chapter 792: Kidnapped? Chapter 792: Kidnapped?
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu was about to stand up when she heard a mans voice above her head. Little thing, are you a stray dog? Thest time I saw you in Hong Kong, you were heartbroken. Are you heartbroken again? The mans words made Qiao Mu suddenly recall. The man in front of him was Li Yans enemy, Murong Chao! When she was in Hong Kong, Li Yan was injured. On the way to the airport, she was blocked by this man. Fortunately, Guan Baobeis brother helped her out. But why was this man here?
Could it be that he was here to seek revenge on Li Yan, so he had his eyes on her? Qiao Mus heart thumped wildly, and her two small hands clenched into fists nervously, not knowing how to react. Murong Chao sized up Qiao Mu with interest. Are you mute? Stand up. Youre already small, and you have to squat. Its very tiring for me to talk to you like this. Then dont talk to me. Goodbye. I wont see you out. In order to conceal her nervousness, Qiao Mu crouched down without moving. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the other party. She did not forget that the man in front of her had injured Li Yans men. The group of people had wanted to attack her, but Li Yan had blocked the knife for her. She did not dare to provoke such a heartless man. She could either chase him away or wait for Li Yan to save her. After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she heard a lightugh above her head. The pair of feet before her shifted a little, and just as Qiao Mu thought that the other party was about to leave, she realized that the person in front of her had crouched down! Qiao Mu was speechless. It was over. He had really targeted her! Qiao Mu had no choice but to raise her head and meet the mans gaze. She looked at him warily. What are you doing? I just want to know why you squatted down and got dumped by a man again. Murong Chao sized her up. Last time, she looked a little disheveled. Coupled with the situation at that time, he did not look at her carefully. Now, he realized that this woman was not bad looking.
This face was indeed very beautiful. It wasnt a particrly enchanting beauty, but a pure and lovely one. It was unforgettable. That was why when he passed by earlier, he recognized her with just a nce. She was squatting like an abandoned puppy, looking pitiful. Youre the one who got dumped. Im waiting for someone. Dont block my way. Qiao Mu pretended to be calm. Murong Chao stood up. Get in the car with me. Qiao Mu was stunned. She abruptly stood up, turned around, and ran. But After running two steps, she was dragged back. Little beauty, I dont like people disobeying my orders. As Murong Chao spoke, he directly pulled Qiao Mu and shoved her into the passenger seat. Qiao Mus eyes widened. You want to kidnap me? I dont have money. Let me go! What are you nervous about? I dontck money. Im just taking you for a ride. I just got here. Can you help me navigate? Murong Chao started the car. Qiao Mu secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the other partys words. He did not know about her rtionship with Li Yan. While Murong Chao was driving, Qiao Mu took out her phone and sent a message to Li Yan. It was a simple message. Ive been kidnapped.
At this moment, Li Yan was on his way to Qiao Mus side. As his office was in the suburbs, it would not take long for him to reach her. When he thought of Qiao Mu saying I miss you , his heart could not help but throb, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up. Lei Yi, who was driving, put down the phone and said in a serious tone, Young Master, we just received news that Murong Chao arrived at the Capital Airport half an hour ago. Chapter 793: A New Girlfriend Chapter 793: A New Girlfriend
Trantor:549690339 Half an hour ago? Li Yans eyes darkened, and the smile on his face disappeared. I didnt do my job well. Murong Chao didnt bring anyone over. Our people just received the news. Lei Yi exined. When the opponent arrived at his ce, he did not know the moment he boarded the ne. Instead, he only received the news half an hour after he arrived at his destination. It was indeed very disadvantageous. Li Yans face tensed up. Find out why hes here this time. Send someone to keep an eye on him. Although our conflictst time has been resolved, its inevitable that something will happen again. Yes.
At this moment, Li Yans phone rang and five words popped up on the screen:I was kidnapped! Li Yan immediately pulled out the map that was used to track Qiao Mus location. The target that was originally standing still was now moving forward at high speed. Li Yans face darkened when he thought of Murong Chao. After Qiao Mu sent the message, she stared at Li Yan in relief as he came to save her. Just as she was about to put her phone away, Murong Chao suddenly snatched it away. He looked at the content of her chat and sneered before throwing the phone back to her. Ask your uncle for help. Is your uncle a policeman? Murong Chao nced at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu nodded and took the opportunity to speak. My uncle is the chief of the police station. Its not toote for you to stop the car and let me go. Im just taking you for a ride. What are you afraid of? Anyway, youve been dumped by a man. Just treat it as a distraction. Stop the car! Little thing, why are you always in such a sorry state every time I see you? Little thing This form of address disgusted Qiao Mu!
It feltpletely different when her uncle called her that. Stop the car! Qiao Mu repeated. Murong Chao did not think much of it. It just so happens that Im single now. I wont stay here for too long. You can be my woman in China! Qiao Mu was speechless. This sentence was not a discussion or a suggestion, but an affirmation. Moreover, she was a woman in China. Did this man have to leave a woman behind wherever he went? Qiao Mu anxiously looked at the front and back of the car, wondering why Li Yan was still not here. Suddenly, a familiar ck car appeared in her line of sight, and Qiao Mus heart leaped with joy. Then youre my woman now. Murong Chao said. What nonsense are you talking about? I have a boyfriend! If there is, he dumped it. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at him. Did he think that boyfriends were clothes that he could just reject?!
Lei Yi sped up in Li Yans car. When he saw the person in the drivers seat, he said in a deep voice, Young Master, its Murong Chao. Li Yans face turned cold. Stop him. The car drove beside Murong Chaos car and honked. Qiao Mu immediately pointed outside the car when she heard the honking and reminded him, I think hes looking for you. Murong Chao turned his head and saw Li Yan in the car. He rolled down the window and greeted him with a smile. Boss Li, what a coincidence. Murong, shouldnt you have told me beforehand that youreing to my territory? You even want me to personally entertain you. Li Yan said coldly. Boss Li, you must be joking. Were all old friends, so forget about these superficial gifts. I heard that youre living a peaceful life with your woman in China, so I didnt want to disturb you, so I consciously came to y by myself. Murong Chaoughed. Li Yans gazended on Qiao Mu, and Murong introduced her enthusiastically, This is my new girlfriend, Boss Li. The women here are really stunning and match my taste. Chapter 794: Boss Li, You Scared My Woman Away Chapter 794: Boss Li, You Scared My Woman Away
Trantor:549690339 A new girlfriend The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. Could he not twist the truth? Can you not say such things in front of a petty man? Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan, and as expected, the mans expression darkened a little. Although she knew that he couldnt take her words seriously, he still took it to heart. Qiao Mu couldnt help but interrupt. I have a boyfriend, dont spout nonsense.
Murong Chao smiled at Li Yan indifferently. I havent taught him well yet. Please dont mind him, Boss Li. Qiao Mu was speechless. Li Yan did not know if Murong Chao knew about his rtionship with Qiao Mu, so he looked at him coldly. Murong, did youe here for a woman? Cant I? Stop the car. Its rare to see you. Should we catch up? Boss Li wants me to stop the car. Lets see if he has the ability. Murong Chao stepped on the elerator and the car flew away. Qiao Mu gripped the safety armrest tightly and red at Murong Chao. Drive slowly, Im going to fly out! Your man is being chased, and you want me to slow down? The people behind me want my life. Qiao Mu was speechless. The person chasing after her was her man, alright? On this side, Lei Yi was hot on his heels. After all, Murong Chaos temporary car could notpare to Li Yans luxury car. He caught up with Murong Chaos car in a short while and stopped it immediately.
The two cars braked at the same time. Qiao Mu was already prepared. The moment the car came to a stop, she quickly got out of the car and ran away. She knew that Murong Chao was in danger, so she did not expose her rtionship with Li Yan and fled across the road. Murong Chaos car was stopped, so he could only watch Qiao Mu leave. He then turned to Li Yan and said, Boss Li, your hospitality is not gentlemanly. You scared my woman away. When Li Yan heard Murong Chao say my woman , a cold glint shed across his eyes. He curled his lips coldly and said, Youre much more polite than when you were entertaining me. It seems like you really care about other peoples women. Murong shrugged. Boss Li, I didnt touch your woman. To be honest, Ive had too much money recently, so I came to this ce to develop a second business. Im sure you wont mind, right? Li Yan pursed his lips coldly and spat out two words.Of course. Li Yan raised his arm and nced at his watch. I still have something to do. Ill be leaving first. I hope youll have a good time here. Thank you, Boss Li. Murong Chao made an OK gesture and waved at Li Yan. Li Yan rolled up the car window, turned around, and drove in the direction Qiao Mu had left. Li Yan looked at the rearview mirror and saw Murong Chaos car driving away in the opposite direction. Young Master, Lei Yi said in a deep voice, theres no important transaction at the moment. Murong Chao came to us at this time. Could it be that he really wants to develop a second career?
Li Yans fingers were tapping on his legs. Suddenly, he stopped and said coldly, A few days ago, Ouyang found out that a batch of goods passed through the customs and was detained. Murong Chao must be here for this matter. If thats the case, it wont affect us at all. Lei Yi spoke. As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, he saw the little woman running forward by the roadside. She looked back as she ran, looking extremely flustered. Li Yan narrowed his malicious eyes and said coldly, Get someone to keep an eye on Murong Chao and prevent him from having any contact with Qiao Mu. Chapter 795: What Kind of Marriage Method Do Women Like? Chapter 795: What Kind of Marriage Method Do Women Like?
Trantor:549690339 After Qiao Mu escaped from Murong Chaos car, she ran along the roadside while waiting for Li Yan to catch up. Finally, she saw a familiar car and heaved a sigh of relief. The car stopped by the roadside and she sneaked into the car, panting heavily. Uncle, Im exhausted. Li Yan handed her a bottle of mineral water. Are you scared? What happened?
Qiao Mu gulped down a mouthful of water before calming her breathing. I was waiting for you by the roadside, and then I saw him. So, in a short while, you became his girlfriend? Li Yans expression did not change much when he said this, but his tone was filled with anger and displeasure. Im so wronged. That was his own words. What does it have to do with me? After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she looked at Li Yan. Uncle, arent you sworn enemies with him? Why was he fine now? Dont tell me youre going to fight and kill again? Thinking back to thest time in Hong Kong, when he was injured and hospitalized, she felt a little flustered. This man was doing dangerous things that she could not imagine when she was unaware of it. To her, it was apletely different world. Li Yan caressed Qiao Mus head with hisrge hand. The corners of his lips curled up, and there was a hint of warmth on his face. No, the conflict has already been resolved. Were neither friends nor enemies now, but for your safety, we cant expose our rtionship. Youre not allowed to interact with him in private in the future. Its very dangerous. Qiao Mu nodded and grinned. Its fine, Uncle. Im fine even if Im with a dangerous person like you every day, let alone someone else. Hearing her rxed words, Li Yan smiled. He knew that this little thing was trying to dispel his worries. His little woman had really grown up. Previously, when she encountered a dangerous life, her first reaction was to stay away from him. She did not want to get into trouble, so the further away she was from him, the better. But now, she could easilyfort his worries, even though she was actually very nervous. Thinking of her low mood on the phone just now, he looked down at her. Why are you going to the orphanage?
Qiao Mu didnt mention Shu Xinyu and only smiled. I just had nothing to do and went to take a look. Then, I found out that someone had donated to the orphanage in my name without telling me. And then? Thank you, Uncle. Qiao Mus voice lowered a few notches. She was truly grateful for his consideration. Li Yan nced at her. If you want to thank me, then ept what I saidst night. Qiao Mu was speechless. The obedient little woman rolled her eyes at Li Yan. Theyre two separate matters. You cant lump them together. This little thing! At noon, Qiao Mu and Li Yan had lunch. Li Yan sent Qiao Mu back to school and instructed her, Youve been busy with ssestely and have to go to Key Studio. Ill allow you to not go home when youre busy, but you have to call me at all times. Qiao Mu understood that Li Yan did not want Murong Chao to discover her identity and harm her, so they could not be too close. Li Yan watched as Qiao Mu entered the school and drove back. Suddenly, Li Yan looked at Lei Yi and said, Do you have a girlfriend? Lei Yi was overwhelmed by the sudden question about his personal affairs and replied, Young Master, Im single.
Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Its time to find one. Lei Yi was speechless. He couldnt figure out what Young Master Li meant. He didnt think that Young Master Li would suddenly be in a good mood to care about his lifelong bachelor status. As Lei Yi expected, he heard the mans deep voice behind him. What kind of proposal do women usually like? Chapter 796: Plans for the Next Two Years Chapter 796: ns for the Next Two Years
Trantor:549690339 Lei Yi was speechless. This question stumped Lei Yi. Young Master Li was asking him, a bachelor, was he sure he wasnt torturing him? Lei Yi cleared his throat and answered seriously, Young Master, first of all, I need a girlfriend before I can think about this. Li Yan red at him coldly. You cant even find a woman. Dont you feel ashamed?
Lei Yi looked embarrassed. For the first time, he felt that it was really embarrassing not to have a woman. But he really wanted to say, Young Master Li, you just got a woman not long ago, okay? Fortunately, Lei Yi was very good at reading Li Yans mind. After Li Yan asked that question, he understood what Li Yan wanted to do. Young Master, Ill help you think of a proposal now, he added considerately. However, after saying that, he felt a chill down his spine. Are you proposing or am I proposing? Do I need you to think for me? Lei Yi was speechless. Alright, he didnt dare to say anything else. This Young Master Li had now be both sultry and proud. Qiao Mu arrived at Key Studio. Key handed a document to Qiao Mu. Take a look. Thepetition has officially ended, and Ive already held a press conference. Ive drawn up a n for you. Qiao Mu was stunned. She received the document. It was a proposal.
Qiao Mu looked at the densely packed words and was prepared to read one sentence:Obtain an international designer certificate within two years. Just as Qiao Mu was feeling astonished, Key said indifferently, Qiao Mu, the university youre currently in isnt a professional design school. If you want to be a professional designer, youll have to receive professional guidance from overseas. Ill provide you with a famous design school in Paris to train you for two years. My designpany is based in Paris. As a designer under the name of SKK, I dont have to stay in Paris all year round. However, I have to travel around the country ording to my activities. This is a prerequisite. Key then handed another document to Qiao Mu. This is the contract. Once you sign it, youll officially be a designer under the brand, and the proposal will officially take effect. After youve considered it, sign this contract. Qiao Mu was a little stunned when she heard Keys words. Two years in Paris? She knew that this opportunity was very difficult. Key was nurturing her and giving her a chance. If it was in the past, she would definitely sign the contract without hesitation. However, when she heard that she would be away for two years, she was not happy at all. In the past, she did not have anything to miss about this city. However, it was different now. Li Yan was here. How could she bear to leave? Key watched as Qiao Mu held the document hesitantly and said indifferently, Theres no need to be in a hurry to answer me. Take the contract back first. If you ept my proposal, sign the contract and send it over. If you cant ept it, Ill respect your choice. Qiao Mu did not reply. She looked up at Key after a while. Teacher Key, how long can I consider it? Theres plenty of time. Ill stay in the country until the end of the year. Even if you agree, this n will be carried out early next year. During this period, even if I dont sign the contract, it wont affect the uing Paris Winter Fashion Week.
There were less than three months left until the end of the year. Qiao Mu nodded. Teacher Key, let me consider this matter. Qiao Mu, I hope youll consider this carefully. Key stood up and went to the water dispenser to get a ss of water. When he saw Qiao Mus grave expression, he smiled faintly. If youre worried that Li Yan wont be at ease, theres no need to do that. After all, Im GAY. I might like him, but I wont like you. Qiao Mu was originally in low spirits, but when she heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Key in astonishment. Teacher, are you really GAY? Chapter 797: A Woman’s Jealousy Chapter 797: A Womans Jealousy
Trantor:549690339 Qiao Mu was stunned when she saw the yful smile on Keys face. Key raised his eyebrows. What do you think? Didnt you say that Im GAY and that Ive taken a fancy to Li Yan? Qiao Mu was speechless. That meant that he had heard what she had said to Li Yan outside the restaurant. Qiao Mu felt awkward and scratched her head. Teacher Key, I was just joking. I really didnt mean anything else. Please dont hold it against me.
I dont mind your joke, but I have to say it again. Im very normal. Key paused and stopped joking. Qiao Mu, you have to know that this opportunity is hard toe by. I hope you can put your personal feelings aside and focus on your pursuit. Qiao Mu lowered her head. So Teacher Key was just joking to let her rx. Qiao Mu nodded heavily. Key teacher, Ill definitely consider it carefully! Qiao Mu left the office and ran into Amy. After thepetition, Key removed Amy from her position as a secretary and told the public that the design department was busy, allowing her to focus on her role as the design director. Key was already showing mercy by not firing a subordinate who had made a mistake. After all, Amy had been by Keys side for so many years, so she could be considered to have made up for her mistakes. Amys gazended on the contract in Qiao Mus hand, and her lips curled up. Qiao Mu, congrattions, youve finally achieved your goal. Qiao Mu could hear the sarcasm in the other partys tone, so she looked back at Amy. Director Amy, why did you give my draft to Ning Tongtong? I dont think Ive offended you in any way. Upon hearing this, Amys smile disappeared. Qiao Mu, since you already know, I wont put on airs with you anymore. I wont tolerate a scheming woman getting close to Key and using him! Qiao Mu sneered. She was scheming, yet she was using Key teacher? Qiao Mu immediately exposed Amys thoughts. Director Amy, youre not as great as you make yourself out to be. You like Key teacher, so youre worried about my rtionship with Key teacher, right?
Amys expression changed, and she didnt know how to respond. Qiao Mu continued, I can tell you very clearly that I have a lover. Theres nothing between me and Teacher Key, and it will be the same in the future. Please dont worry. Innocent? This is the first time Ive seen him spend so much effort on someone. No matter what others say about you, he believes you. Even I havent been treated like this! Therefore, she was jealous, jealous of Qiao Mu, jealous that Key valued Qiao Mu, yet he could not see her by his side. Qiao Mu said coldly, You dont understand Teacher Key at all. The reason why hes protecting me is because he knew about me from the start. Ning Tongtong giarized my work, and he wont allow giarists to appear in hispetition. Youve put your personal feelings into this matter, but Teacher Key always puts design first! Amys expression turned ugly. She was jealous of the girl who was calmlymenting on Key. Thats right, she was jealous of Qiao Mu, which was why she wanted Qiao Mu to disappear from her Keys sight. Qiao Mu was extremely talented in design. It was because of this unique talent that she was given special treatment by Key. However, she was unable to receive the attention that Key was giving her, which made her feel extremely unbnced. Back then, she wasnt sure who Qiao Mu or Ning Tongtong should trust either. It was precisely because Key trusted Qiao Mu without any reason that she was the one who interfered. However, her current fate was caused by Qiao Mu! Amy narrowed her eyes coldly as she watched Qiao Mu leave. Then, her phone rang. She picked up the call, and a female voice came from the other end. Director Amy, this is Ning Tongtong
Chapter 798: Definitely Won’t Let Qiao Mu Off! Chapter 798: Definitely Wont Let Qiao Mu Off!
Trantor:549690339 Amys face darkened when she heard this voice. Ning Tongtong, youve already been disqualified from thepetition. Why are you still contacting me? Director Amy, dont be so angry. You were the one who took the initiative to send me Qiao Mus draft back then. Were in the same battalion, and you dont want Qiao Mu to continue staying by Keys side, right? Ning Tongtongs voice sounded. Me and you? Ning Tongtong, youre worthless now. Youve already been sued by ourpany. Dont even think about it! Ning Tongtongs voice turned furious. Youre really burning bridges after crossing them and using me to attack Qiao Mu. If it werent for you, would I have giarized? Arent you afraid that Key will find out what his good secretary did? Amy sneered. Do you think Key will fire me because of such a small mistake? Key already knows about this, but Im still fine!
Is that so? Key wont pursue your responsibility now, but what if you sue him? How did I obtain Qiao Mus draft? Youre the one who helped me giarize, and you still want to get away with it? Director Amy, youre so smart, but you didnt think of this? In fact, Key is just not pursuing you for the time being. Do you really think Key is good to you? Ning Tongtongs words made Amys expression change. After a while, Amy said, What exactly do you want? Director Amy, I just dont want to be sued. By covering up for me, youre naturally covering up for yourself. So, I want you to help me. After a pause, Ning Tongtong continued, Actually, what I want is very simple. I cant bear to see Qiao Mu being arrogant. Our goals are the same, so I hope that you can help me resolve thewsuit. You can consider it carefully. Ning Tongtong hung up the phone. Her originally beautiful face had now be ferocious and terrifying. She locked herself up at home all day and didnt dare to go out. It was all Qiao Mus fault, so she absolutely couldnt let Qiao Mu off! Ning Tongtong came to the living room and did not see Shu Xinyu. Shu Xinyus wallet was ced on the coffee table, and it was open. She walked over and was about to help Shu Xinyu put the wallet away when she identally saw a photo inside the wallet. She pulled out the photo out of curiosity. It was an old one-inch photo. The photo was of a newborn baby, and the child was not her. At this moment, Shu Xinyu came out of the bathroom. Ning Tongtong smiled and said,Mom, is this a photo of you when you were young? Shu Xinyu was stunned. She immediately took the photo away and put it in her wallet. She smiled nonchntly. Yes, Mommy was too ugly when she was young. Dont look at it.
Ning Tongtong didnt mind. She held Shu Xinyus arm aggrievedly. Mom, you helped me resolve this matter. How is it going? I dont even have the face to go out now. If this goes on, Im going crazy. Shu Xinyu patted Ning Tongtongs hand andforted her. Dont be anxious. Well think of a solution slowly. I wont let anyone ruin your career. Ning Tongtong nodded, but her heart was already jumping with anxiety. That damned Qiao Mu, it was better for her to die! Qiao Mu sat in the taxi and returned to school, her mind filled with the matter of signing the contract. If Li Yan knew about this, he would probably be very unhappy, right? When she wanted to go to Hong Kong as an exchange student, Li Yan hadpletely cut off her path. Although the situation was a little different now, the result was still the same. How could Li Yan allow her to leave? Qiao Mu didnt know what she was thinking either. She didnt want to let go of this opportunity, but she also didnt want to leave Li Yan, so her head was buzzing. Forget it, there was still a long time. Lets talk about thister! Chapter 799: Meeting Murong Chao Again Chapter 799: Meeting Murong Chao Again Trantor: 549690339 The car stopped outside the school. Qiao Mu got out of the car, and just as she was about to enter the school gate, a car stopped in front of her, and a tall figure got out of it. Qiao Mus expression changed when she saw who it was, and she immediately ran away. However, before he could even take two steps, he was stopped. Murong Chao looked at Qiao Mu. Am I very scary? Why are you running? You Why are you here? Murong Chao red at Qiao Mu. Nonsense, of course Im here to find you. You ran away just like that thest time, and I spent a lot of effort to find out that youre studying here. Your man misses you a lot. You should be happy, right? Qiao Mu frowned. Dont talk to yourself. I have a boyfriend, and Im going back to school for sses now. Your boyfriend is a student of this school? Call him out and dump him in front of me. Facing such an outstanding man like me, do you still have any interest in others? Murong Chao said arrogantly. Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mu shook Murong Chao off forcefully. I love my boyfriend very much. Please dont pester me! Its okay. Love can be cultivated. Lets go to the car and cultivate our feelings. Murong Chao said as he dragged Qiao Mu toward the car. Qiao Mus face paled. She raised her leg and kicked Murong Chao with the self-protection technique Baby Guan taught her. Unfortunately, she dodged before she could even touch him. This time, Qiao Mu panicked. She didnt expect Murong Chao to pester her and not let her go. The man in front of her was arrogant and unruly. Although he looked frivolous, his deep ck eyes revealed his cold and murderous nature. That kind of murderous arrogance burst out from the bones. Only those who had been in contact with the darkness for many years would have it. Although Li Yan and Murong Chao were in the same boat, Li Yans main focus was on business development. Li Yan never exposed his emotions to others. He gave others the impression that he was distant and cold. He was different from a man who waspletely involved in sex. Even Li Yan said that Murong Chao was very dangerous, so how could Qiao Mu not be afraid? Qiao Mu struggled with all her might, and Murong Chao turned around to look at her with interest. You look so weak and meek, but I didnt expect you to be so spicy. Im getting more and more interested. You really suit my taste. If you can satisfy me, I can consider taking you away. Qiao Mu widened her eyes and instantly understood what Murong Chao was trying to do! In the next second, she was thrown into the backseat. Murong Chao followed suit. She lifted her leg with all her might to stop Murong Chao from getting into the car. Dont do anything rash. This is illegal! Breaking thew? Murong Chao sneered. I kill without batting an eye. I dont know what thew is. Qiao Mus face turned even paler as she fumbled for her phone in her pocket. Where did her uncle go?! She fumbled for her phone in her pocket. Where was her uncle? Didnt he send someone to keep an eye on Murong Chao? Suddenly, Murong Chao grabbed her struggling leg, and Qiao Mu looked at him in horror. Murong Chao curled his lips and was about to say something when his phone rang. Murong Chao picked up the phone and heard something on the other end. A hint of ruthlessness shed across his eyes. What? Something happened to the goods? Damn it, if you cant even handle such a small matter, whats the use of having a group of trash like you! After Murong Chao finished cursing, he hung up the phone and looked at Qiao Mu. Consider yourself lucky today. Ille and find you another day. Qiao Mu got out of the car in a panic. Seeing Murong Chaos car leave, she squatted on the ground with weak legs. She wiped her wrist that Murong Chao had just grabbed with a wet towel and felt disgusted. Chapter 800: Su Chen Is Sick (1) Chapter 800: Su Chen Is Sick (1) Trantor: 549690339 Li Yans office. Lei Yi knocked on the door and entered. He looked at Li Yan and said carefully, President, Murong Chao went to the school to look for Miss Qiao just now. After saying that, the mans face darkened. Lei Yi hurriedly exined, But I had someone tamper with his goods in time. He has already left. He has been busy for a while, so he shouldnt be able to free himself. Li Yans face darkened. It seemed like Murong Chao had his eyes on Qiao Mu. He could not protect Qiao Mu just by keeping a distance from her. In the evening, Qiao Mu, Chi Xia, and Baby Guan were about to head out for lunch when Li Yan called to ask her to go to the school gate. When she walked out of the school gate, she saw a familiar car. She got into the car and asked in confusion,Uncle, didnt you say that we shouldnt interact much during this period of time? The woman is already targeted by others. How can I sit still? Li Yan didnt have good expectations. Qiao Mu was stunned. You already know? He didnt want her to worry, so he didnt n to tell him. Li Yan patted Qiao Mus head. Ill send you to school every day for the next few days. Dont worry. Yes. Qiao Mu nodded and dove into Li Yans trap. She had long forgotten all about the unpleasantness during the day. In the next few days, Qiao Mu went home and stayed in school, living a peaceful life. As for the signing of the contract, she did not mention it to Li Yan. Even she herself had not thought of it and did not know how to tell Li Yan. That afternoon, Qiao Mu, Chi Xia, and Baby Guan were having lunch at the school cafeteria when Li Yan called to tell them that it was Su Chens birthday. After putting down the phone, Qiao Mu looked at Chi Xia and said, Xiaxia, its Su Chens birthday today. Chi Xia was stunned and replied nonchntly, What does it have to do with me? Baby Guan said, Lu Jingzhi asked me to go for dinner too. I thought that since Tangtang seldom celebrated his birthday, his family would at least hold a banquet. But Lu Jingzhi said that Su Chen would have a simple meal with them every year. Its not too grand. Xiaxia, do you want toe too? Its her birthday and she didnt invite me. Why should I go? Can the two of you not y matchmaker? Qiao Mu and Baby Guan exchanged nces and pursed their lips helplessly, but they didnt say anything else. However, in the evening, Li Yan called and said that the dinner had been canceled. Su Chen was sick and he could not celebrate his birthday. The fact that she could cancel her birthday dinner meant that she was seriously ill. Qiao Mu told Chi Xia about this matter many times and observed Chi Xias reaction, but she still acted as if nothing had happened. Qiao Mu was a little puzzled. Did Chi Xia have feelings for Su Chen? In the past, Chi Xias reaction to rtionships was very obvious. She liked Gu Cheng and she was angry. She would always show her emotions on her face. Her emotions were obvious and she never hid her feelings for Gu Cheng. But now, even Qiao Mu could not figure it out. Qiao Mu had already said what she needed to say. After ss, Li Yan came to pick her up, and she followed him home. When Chi Xia returned to the dormitory, it was extremely quiet. She could not help but think of what Qiao Mu had told her-Su Chen was seriously ill. She patted her head. She didnt know why she kept thinking about this. What did Su Chens illness have to do with her? Su Chen did not have a good rtionship with his mother. They were not even together during the holidays. Now that he was sick, where would he have anyone to take care of him? Chi Xia shook her head. What was she thinking about? He had servants at home. He couldnt possibly be alone in his apartment when he was sick, right? Chapter 801: Su Chen Is Sick (2) Chapter 801: Su Chen Is Sick (2)
Trantor:549690339 At this moment, Chi Xias phone rang. She was stunned when she saw the caller ID. It was Su Chen. The phone rang for a long time, but she still answered the call. Chi Xia did not say anything. She heard a hoarse voice from the other end of the phone, Send me some fever medicine. Im in the apartment. Chi Xia was stunned. He called her to deliver the medicine?
Are you having a fever? Chi Xia couldnt help but ask. As soon as Chi Xias voice came out, the other end of the phone went silent. Im calling my assistant, Su Chen said. Wrong number. Chi Xias grip on her phone tightened. It turned out that she had dialed the wrong number. Are you alright? she asked. What does it have to do with you whether Im fine or not? Su Chens tone was cold, but because of his illness, he looked very haggard. Then, he hung up. Feeling the mans distant attitude, Chi Xia held her phone and was a little stunned. He was sick and alone in the apartment. Today was his birthday. Chi Xias heart started to ache. After a while, she stood up, grabbed her coat, and rushed out of the dormitory. Su Cheny on the bed and looked at the end of the call. He threw his phone aside in frustration. He wanted to call his assistant, but he called that woman instead.
She did not know if it was because she was sick, but she was subconsciously thinking about her. Su Chens body was burning up. He didnt bother to ask for medicine and fell asleep. Half an hourter, Chi Xia arrived at Su Chens apartment. The password for the door lock was 1027, which was Su Chens birthday. Chi Xia opened the door. The room was very quiet. There was a pair of shoes at the door, which meant that Su Chen was at home. She entered the bedroom and saw the man lying on the bed. His eyes were tightly shut, and his brows were slightly furrowed. He looked very ufortable. When this man fell asleep, he felt less distant and different from usual. She raised her hand and touched his forehead. It was very hot. How much could he take? His fever was not going down. If he did not take his medicine, he might burn his brain if he continued sleeping like this. Chi Xia frowned. Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist. She was stunned. Then, she saw the man in front of her open his eyes.
Su Chen felt a cold object on his forehead. It made him feel indescribablyfortable. He subconsciously touched it and grabbed a hand. When he opened his eyes and saw the woman standing in front of him, his eyes darkened. The corners of his mouth curled up in a self-deprecating manner. How much did he want to see this woman? He actually had an illusion. Chi Xia looked at Su Chen and was thinking about how to say something when he suddenly pulled her wrist forcefully. She was caught off guard and identally fell onto him. Immediately after, the mans other hand reached over and trapped her in his embrace. Then, he kissed her. Chi Xias body stiffened and she pushed him away forcefully. Su Chen was already sick, so she didnt use much strength and was pushed away defenseless. Su Chen, dont be like this! This push made Su Chen dizzy. The feeling of his body and the womans voice felt real. It did not seem like an illusion. His consciousness gradually cleared up. He looked at the woman in front of him and narrowed his eyes. His voice deepened. Why are you here? His sudden cold attitude clearly showed that he did not wee her. Chi Xia said softly, Im here to deliver your medicine. No need. You can go now. He paused and added, I got the wrong person just now.
Just now, I got the wrong person Chapter 802: Su Chen Is Sick (3) Chapter 802: Su Chen Is Sick (3)
Trantor:549690339 Chi Xias heart skipped a beat and she could not describe what she was feeling. So when he kissed her just now, he thought she was someone else? Chi Xia bit her lip and opened the medicine box as if nothing had happened. She handed it to him and said, Ill leave after you take the medicine. I dont need your concern. Didnt you say that you didnt want to mess with me? Why are you pretending to be kind now? Su Chens hoarse voice still couldnt hide the coldness in it. Chi Xia ced the medicine in his hand and said slowly, Last time, you ordered takeout for me when I wasnt feeling well. This time, Ill give you medicine. Lets call it even. Im not pretending to be kind!
Su Chens eyes dimmed. So she didnt want to owe him a favor. Looking at the pill in his hand, he put it into his mouth and drank a mouthful of water. He then red at her coldly. You can leave now. Chi Xia did not stay and turned to leave. He didnt wee her, so why did she have toe here and make a fool of herself? What did it have to do with her that he was sick and burned to death? She must be overthinking things to be worried about him ande to see his condition! This time, he would treat it as returning his favor. They did not owe each other anything! Chi Xia walked to the door in one breath, opened it, and mmed it shut before walking out. Su Chens eyes darkened when he saw the woman in front of him turn around and leave. The door opened and then closed. The woman left without hesitation. He did not know if it was because of the side effects of the medicine, but his heart felt unusually ufortable. It was as if there was an invisible hand gripping him tightly, making him unable to breathe. He was the one who let her go. Could it be that she still hoped that heartless woman would not leave? Soon, the medicine took effect and he fell asleep in a daze.
However, Chi Xia did not leave. She stood in front of the elevator and waited for it to rise. She turned around and looked at the door. The anger she felt from being chased out slowly subsided. If she left just like that and left a patient here, wouldnt she seem too heartless? The elevator door opened. Chi Xia stood still until the elevator door closed again. She took a step back and leaned against the wall behind her, giving up on the idea of leaving. She really couldnt bear to let a sick person fend for himself. Moreover, it was his birthday today, and there was no one around him. He was so lonely. Usually, Su Chen had always been high and mighty, like a young master being pampered by others. Before this, she had never thought that this man would have no one by his side when he was sick on a holiday. Some people looked morous, but they had a side that no one knew about. Chi Xia took out her phone and ced an order on the vegetable website. Then, she opened the door and entered the house. She walked to the bedroom door and looked at the person in the room. She had already fallen asleep. She closed the bedroom door and waited in the living room for a while. The delivery man brought the vegetables she had bought and she carried them into the kitchen. The kitchen was still the same as thest time she came. She had bought the pots and pans, and there was nothing else. Chi Xia threw away the rotten fruits and vegetables in the fridge. After cleaning them up, she put the newly bought ingredients in and skillfully opened the fire. She put the ribs into the water and cooked them.
He washed the vegetables and ced them aside to wait for them to be ced in the pot. Then, he covered the rice with water. When Su Chen woke up, it was already dark outside. The room was pitch ck. His body temperature had dropped, but his throat was still dry and painful. His stomach had long lost its feeling from hunger. Chapter 803: Su Chen Is Sick 4 Chapter 803: Su Chen Is Sick 4
Trantor:549690339 Su Chen rubbed his temples and sat up. Then, he saw a glimmer of light through the gap in the door. He got out of bed, opened the bedroom door, and squinted at the bright light outside. The kitchen was filled with noises, and the fragrance wafted over, causing Su Chen to be stunned for a moment. He walked towards the kitchen and saw the womans slender body busy in the kitchen. He stopped in his tracks. That familiar scene made him feel so unreal.
Didnt this woman leave? Why did he appear here again? Su Chen felt like his heart was stuffed. At this moment, the woman turned around and walked out of the kitchen with the soup bowl. Chi Xia was stunned when she saw Su Chen. She then ced the bowl of soup on the dining table and whispered, Youre awake? I made you some pork rib soup. It wont be easy for you to recover if you dont eat. Su Chen narrowed his eyes and strode forward, grabbing Chi Xias wrist. Why havent you left yet? He chased her away, but she stayed to cook for him. What was this woman trying to do? When he was good to her, she kept rejecting him, but now that he was not pestering her, she refused to leave! Hearing his cold words, Chi Xia lowered her gaze and moved her wrist to break free from his grip. I saw that you were sick and wanted to cook for you. Ive already done it. If you want me to leave, Ill leave now. The rice is in the kitchen, you can get it yourself. Chi Xia walked past Su Chen with her head lowered. He didnt like her, but she wasnt thick-skinned enough to insist on staying. She wanted to leave after cooking. However, the pork rib soup took too long. He woke up just as she finished making it. She had expected that he would have a bad attitude when he woke up, but she didnt expect him to really not want to see her. It was as if she was a hindrance to him if she stayed. Chi Xia had barely taken two steps when her wrist was grabbed again. She turned around in shock and saw Su Chen looking at her with a confused expression. The man stared at her with his dark eyes. Chi Xia, what do you mean? Chi Xia was confused. What did she mean?
She shook her hand. Let go of me. Im leaving. However, the hand that was holding her wrist did not loosen. Instead, it tightened. Go get me some rice. Chi Xia frowned. Go by yourself I told you to go! Chi Xia gritted her teeth. Did he really treat her like a nanny and force her to serve him? Chi Xia moved, but his hand was still tightly clenched. She nced at his hand. If you dont let go, how am I going to get you rice? Su Chen let go of her and sat down at the dining table. Looking at the steaming pork rib soup on the table, Su Chen pursed his lips tightly. His cold heart seemed to be warmed by the steam. That kind of emotion affected his nerves. Chi Xia ced a bowl of rice in front of Su Chen and said, Then Ill be leaving. Stop! Su Chens voice was a little anxious as he looked up at her. Sit down and eat with me. Chi Xia could not fathom Su Chens thoughts at all. One moment, he did not want to see her and chased her away, and the next moment, he wanted her to stay for dinner. Su Chen stared at Chi Xia, but the woman in front of him did not sit down obediently. She turned around and prepared to leave.
His eyes darkened. I told you to stay Ill go get another bowl of rice. You want me to stay and watch you eat? Chi Xia interrupted Su Chens words and turned around to enter the kitchen. Seeing that this man was sick, she didnt hold it against him. The Xia Chen that youre all shouting about is here. The sky is about to brighten again. Suying is going to sleep. Ill continue updating after I wake up Chapter 804: A Simple Birthday (1) Chapter 804: A Simple Birthday (1)
Trantor:549690339 Chi Xia scooped a bowl of rice and sat down at the dining table. Su Chen watched as she scooped out a bowl of pork rib soup from arge bowl and ced it in front of him. Drink more soup and sweat to expel the toxins. Su Chen did not move. His gaze fell on the bowl of soup. After a long time, he looked up at Chi Xia and opened his mouth. His voice was a little hoarse. Why did you stay to cook for me? Then why did you order takeout for me? Chi Xia asked. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. So youre repaying me?
I guess so! Actually, she didnt know what this was. Chi Xia, its not that easy to return my favor. After Su Chen finished speaking, Chi Xia was stunned. She did not know what he wanted to do. When she looked up at him, she saw that he had already retracted his gaze, picked up the bowl, and drank the soup in one gulp. The warm soup slid down Su Chens throat, making his dry throat feel better. He handed the bowl to her. Get another bowl. The soup is right in front of you. Dig it yourself. Chi Xia ignored him. Is this how you repay a favor? Chi Xia was speechless. She was still so unreasonable even when she was sick. So, she was asking for trouble for herself? Chi Xia told herself once again that this man was sick, and she would forgive him. Then, the meal was very quiet. Chi Xia ate a few mouthfuls of rice and raised her head again, asking softly, Is it your birthday today?
Yes. Happy birthday. Su Chen paused and looked up at Chi Xia. Chi Xia picked up a piece of pork rib and ced it in his bowl. Eat more. Just treat it as a birthday meal, even though its a little simple. As the atmosphere eased up a little, Chi Xia did not keep a lookout and casually said, Youre really unlucky to be sick on your birthday. After saying that, the atmosphere froze. These words seemed to have gone a little too far This man was already pitiful enough. He had no rtives by his side on his birthday and no one to take care of him when he was sick. She even said that he was unlucky. Aiya, what a mouth! Before Su Chen could respond, Chi Xiaughed dryly. Dont mind me. I was just joking. Su Chen looked at Chi Xias awkward smile and his eyes turned cold. Was she pitying him? In an instant, he felt a little frustrated. He lowered his head and continued eating without saying anything else. There was only a pot of soup and a te of stir-fried vegetables on the table. It could not be any simpler. It could be said that this was the most frugal birthday meal he had ever eaten. In the past, he would celebrate his birthday with his brothers every year. Although his birthday was not much different from usual, at least the dishes on the table were iparably sumptuous.
A birthday party with a bowl of rice, soup, and dishes did look a little pitiful. However, for some reason, he felt a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before. If it werent for this woman today, he wouldnt even be able to have such a simple birthday meal. Suddenly, he felt lucky that his sudden illness had brought him such an unexpected birthday. After the meal, Chi Xia cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen beforeing out. Su Chen was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. When he heard her voice, he opened his eyes and looked at her. Are you still having a fever? Chi Xia asked. Did you take your temperature? No, I havent. What other symptoms do you have? A sore throat? Is it itchy? Coughing? Chi Xia threw out a series of questions. Su Chen looked up. Cant you hear me cough? Chi Xia was speechless. She was asking about his symptoms, but why was he not cooperating at all!
Chapter 805: A Simple Birthday (2) Chapter 805: A Simple Birthday (2)
Trantor:549690339 Chi Xia reached out and touched Su Chens forehead. It was no longer as hot as before. Su Chen narrowed his eyes and watched Chi Xias every move. He removed his cold hand from his forehead and went to look for the medicine. Soon, he took a ss of water and drank a few pills before handing them to Chi Xia. Take your medicine and rest well. As long as you take your medicine and eat on time, youll be fine soon. Chi Xia passed the medicine to Su Chen and added, I bought some fruits. If you have a sore throat, you can eat some fruits to moisten your throat. Itll help you recover more easily if you replenish your vitamins. Su Chen took the ss of water from Chi Xias hand and grabbed her wrist with his other hand. He pulled her onto the sofa and sat beside him. Hisrge hand hooked her chin and made her look up at him. He said in a low and hoarse voice, Chi Xia, are you so considerate to everyone?
Chi Xia was stunned. The mans body was pressed against hers, and the heat was transmitted to her through her skin, causing her heart to throb. She hurriedly pushed him away and said in an unstable tone, Erm, its veryte. Im going back. Youve taken your medicine, so go to bed early. At this moment, there was a sound at the door, and then the door was opened. At the same time, azy voice rang out, Second Brother, Im here to see you. Youre sick, but you didnt return to the Su residence. Instead, you came here. Arent you afraid that no one will know if you die of illness? Theyre all heartless. I was the only one who thought of sending you a cake As Ling Xi spoke, she walked through the door. She didnt even change out of her shoes. She walked past the entrance and arrived at the living room. She realized that Su Chen wasnt alone in the room. Ling Xi was stunned for a moment before he smiled. Second Brother, youre too good at pretending. You said you were sick and you wanted to celebrate your birthday alone. Just say it. We definitely wont disturb you. Theres no need to be so sneaky. Su Chen nced at Ling Xi coldly. It was obvious that he didnt wee Ling Xi. Ling Chen was very tactful. You guys continue, Ill be leaving first. You made me worry for nothing. Ling Xi put the cake on the coffee table with a sly smile and left. Chi Xia felt awkward and turned to look at Su Chen. Um, Im leaving too. Su Chen nced at the cake on the coffee table and said calmly, Eat the cake. Chi Xia hesitated for a moment before nodding. After all, it was her birthday and she couldnt bear to let him eat the cake alone.
Chi Xia opened the cake and cut two pieces. She handed one piece to Su Chen, who did not take it. You can eat it. I dont like sweet food. Ill just have one for my birthday. Chi Xia handed him a fork. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. You can eat sweets if your throat hurts? Its okay. One piece wont affect you. Youll get better soon if you get sick. But birthdayse once a year. You have to eat a cake to count it as a birthday. Chi Xia said seriously. Su Chen took the fork and put a mouthful of cream into his mouth. He didnt like to eat it. He felt that the cake was too sweet and greasy, but now that he was eating it, he felt that it was not bad. Chi Xia finished the cake very quickly. The cake was sweet but not greasy and melted in her mouth. The taste of the tiramisu was to her liking. Seeing that Su Chen had only eaten two mouthfuls, she was a little embarrassed to eat another piece. She had not eaten much for dinner, and now her appetite was greatly increased. Su Chen watched as the woman next to him took a fork and slowly scratched the cake on the te. Her eyes drifted to the cake. She looked like she wanted to eat it but was too embarrassed to. Chapter 806: A Simple Birthday (3) Chapter 806: A Simple Birthday (3)
Trantor:549690339 Eat as much as you can, Su Chen said nonchntly. If you cant finish it, throw the rest away. After hearing Su Chens words, Chi Xia quickly said, This brand of cake is very expensive. One costs more than a thousand yuan. Its a waste to throw it away! After Chi Xia finished speaking, she felt like a country bumpkin. To Su Chen, a thousand yuan was nothing. It was like ten yuan in her eyes. She would not feel any heartache even if she threw it away. Then, Su Chen said, If you think its a waste, eat it all. .. Im not a pig. Chi Xia mumbled to herself and started cutting the cake. She said considerately, Ill try my best.
Chi Xia lowered her head to cut the cake and did not notice the imperceptible smile on Su Chens face. Since she was going to throw it away anyway, Chi Xia did not feel embarrassed and started eating happily. Su Chen sat at the side, quietly watching her eat happily. There was a trace of cream on the corner of her mouth. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it for her, but he retracted his hand halfway. He had forgotten that this woman did not like him touching her. Then, he saw Chi Xia stick out her tongue and lick the corner of her mouth. This action made Su Chens eyes darken and he forcefully averted his gaze. Cough cough Su Chen suddenly coughed. Perhaps it was because she had eaten something sweet, her throat was a little itchy. Chi Xia immediately got up and rushed into the kitchen. She washed a pear and gave it to Su Chen. Have a pear. Itll help you stop coughing. Su Chen took it and sat on the sofa eating the pear while Chi Xia sat on the carpet eating the cake. Su Chen couldnt help but say, Dont you women go on a diet to lose weight? Is it okay to eat so much cake at night? Chi Xia paused, her mouth full of cake as she replied proudly, Im a natural beauty. No matter how much I eat, I wont get fat. I never go on a diet. So, in order not to throw the cake away, you n to stuff it into your stomach? Do you think youre a trash can? Chi Xia was speechless.
This man was saying that she ate too much. Chi Xias face turned red. She wanted to cut another piece of cake but stopped herself. Then I wont eat. Put the cake in the fridge and eat it tomorrow. Oh. Chi Xia did as she was told. After she took the cake into the kitchen, she realized that she would not be able to eat it tomorrow anyway. She might as well take it away tonight! When Chi Xia returned to the living room and was about to say that she was leaving, Su Chen seemed to have sensed what she was about to say and spoke first, Stay here today. .. Huh? Chi Xia was stunned. What was he trying to do by asking her to stay tonight? Su Chen nced at her and said in a deep voice, Youre overthinking it. My fever wont go down. If anything happens to me when Im asleep, itll be difficult to deal with it without anyone around. Just in case, you can stay here for the night. After a pause, as if worried that she would reject him, he said,Since you want to take care of me, you should take care of yourself. What did she mean by she wanted to take care of him? She had no intention of taking care of him!
However, what he said made sense. It was indeed worrying that he was sick alone. After some thought, she nodded. Ill be in the room next door. Call me if you need anything. I have something to call you? How can I call you when Im muddle-headed? Since youre taking care of me, then pay attention to my condition at night. Chi Xias mouth twitched. So, he wanted her to stay and be his nanny? He could still be so righteous when asking for help! Chapter 807: A Simple Birthday (4) Chapter 807: A Simple Birthday (4)
Time ticked by, and it was already veryte. Chi Xia urged Su Chen to sleep. She couldnt stay upte when she was sick. Su Chen entered the bedroom andy down. He could hear the faint sound of the television outside the room. He faced the pitch-ck room, not feeling sleepy at all. Su Chen couldnt remember how long it had been since he had experienced the feeling of being together as a family. They ate together and watched TV together. This simple life that he had lost a long time ago had given him a chance to enjoy it again tonight. He knew that the womans heart was not with him, but he still could not help but want to keep her by his side.
He tried his best not to disturb her life, but if this continued, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would use all means to trap her by his side. Perhaps after he recovered tomorrow, everything would return to its original track. Their lives would still have nothing to do with each other. She took care of him just to return the favor! Su Chen felt a wave of frustration. Hey there for a long time, but he still couldnt fall asleep. Suddenly, the television outside was turned off. Then, she heard footsteps approaching and the door was opened. In the darkness, the womans figure approached and stopped by the bed. Su Chen closed his eyes. Chi Xia looked at Su Chens shadow. He should have fallen asleep after such a long time. She raised her hand and touched his forehead. After confirming that his temperature had not risen, she left in relief and closed the door quietly. Su Chen opened his eyes and ced the back of his hand on his forehead. His deep eyes looked even darker in the dark night. That night, the two of them did not sleep well. Chi Xia had been worried about Su Chen the whole night. She wanted to wake up in the middle of the night to check if Su Chen had a fever, but she fell asleep until dawn. Early in the morning, Chi Xia opened her eyes abruptly and saw that the sky was already bright outside the curtains. She quickly jumped off the bed and rushed to Su Chens room. At this moment, Su Chen wasing out of the bathroom. He only had a towel wrapped around his waist and was drying his wet hair.
The door was suddenly pushed open, startling him. He turned around and saw Chi Xia rushing in in a panic. In an instant, time froze. Chi Xia thought that Su Chen was still sleeping, but she saw a beautying out of the shower. The lines on the mans sexy skin were deep and bright, and his honey-colored skin was illuminated by the sunlight that came in through the window. Droplets of water hung from his hair and dripped down onto his shoulders. They slid down his muscr body. This scene was veryTempting! Chi Xia could not help but swallow her saliva when she suddenly saw her sexy body. Su Chen threw the towel in his hand to the side. He didnt look ufortable at all as he raised his eyebrows. What do you want? What are you doing She said it as if she wanted to do something to him! Chi Xias face turned red and she awkwardly shifted her gaze to the side. She coughed lightly and said, Let me see if you have a fever. You slept like a dead pig the whole night and only remembered me now? If he had a fever, he would have been burned to death long ago. Su Chens tone was calm as he ran his hand through his wet hair. He continued to stand there, unbothered by Chi Xias gaze. Chi Xia was speechless.
Did this man not have any sense of shame? Put on your clothes quickly, she said with a red face. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Why? Its not like you havent seen it before. You still feel embarrassed? Chapter 808: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me? Chapter 808: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me?
Its not like I havent seen it before These words hit Chi Xia hard, causing her already blushing face to turn even redder. What had she seen? She had never seen anything, alright? Although it had only been two times, she had never looked at his body. Chi Xias face turned even redder at that thought. What was she thinking? This was not the main point! The point was that he was still sick, but he was naked after taking a shower. Was he trying to worsen his condition?
Chi Xia did not care about her shyness and walked straight to Su Chen. In fact, Su Chen was not as calm as he looked at that moment. Chi Xias gaze made his body restless. He tried his best to calm the fire, but the woman standing at the door did not escape! She looked like she was inviting him. At this moment, the woman walked towards him. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Then, he heard the womans angry voice.Do you know that youre sick? If you dont care about your body like this, itll be difficult for you to recover no matter how much medicine you take. Hurry up and lie down. As Chi Xia spoke, she walked up to Su Chen and pushed him onto the bed.|Go. Su Chen was caught off guard and was pushed down. The next second, Chi Xia pulled the nket over him and reminded him, Youre in the middle of recovering your body. You cant catch a cold. If you dont even care about your body, who else do you want to care about? As Chi Xia was speaking, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. The mans arm reached out from under the nket and pulled her onto the bed.|Go. Chi Xia was shocked. Then, the mans breath assaulted her and surrounded her. Su Chen flipped over and pinned her down. His deep voice was unusually hoarse. Chi Xia, are you trying to seduce me? I No! Chi Xia pushed him away in a panic, but he was too strong. Even if she was sick, she could not resist him. Why are you so concerned about me?
I just Chi Xia tried to argue in a panic, but she had no idea what she wanted to say. She was in close contact with him, so her mind was nk. Perhaps it was because Su Chen was sick that he had let down his guard against this man and forgotten that he was a dangerous character! Su Chen narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to kiss her. However, just as he was about to kiss her, Chi Xia turned her face away and avoided him. His body stiffened. The next second, he flipped over andy down. Im just scaring you. Im warning you that men are very dangerous creatures. If you encounter such a situation in the future, you should think about how to escape instead ofing up to me on your own ord. Ill think that you have ulterior motives. Chi Xia did not react in time. He just wanted to scare her. As he heaved a sigh of relief, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. She hurriedly jumped off the bed and turned to leave. Rest first, Ill make breakfast for you. Su Chen sighed. Luckily, his uncontroble actions didnt scare her away. Chi Xia made a simple breakfast and called Su Chen to eat. Now, she was careful. She knocked on the door first and did not dare to rush in directly. Soon, the door opened. Su Chen was already dressed and walked out.
Chi Xia looked at him. Dinner is ready. You can eat by yourself. You look fine. Im going back to school. Ill send you off after dinner. No need Eat first! Su Chen was unyielding. Chapter 809: Reaching an Agreement Chapter 809: Reaching an Agreement
At Su Chens insistence, Chi Xia finished her breakfast and Su Chen sent her back to school. Before they left, Chi Xia asked worriedly, Are you really alright? Im not so weak that I cant go out. Su Chen changed his shoes and opened the door, waiting for Chi Xia toe out. Chi Xia bent over to put on her shoes. She lost her bnce and her body tilted. Just as she was about to fall, Su Chen immediately went forward and picked her up to prevent her from falling. After Chi Xia steadied herself, she immediately took a step back and distanced herself from him. She whispered, Thank you. Su Chen didnt reply and strode out with Chi Xia following behind him. The two of them walked towards the elevator.
When the elevator came up, the janitor from the property management came to clean the corridor of his sister-inw. When he saw Su Chen, he greeted him with a smile, Mr. Su, youre going to work. As she spoke, she saw Chi Xia beside Su Chen. This is Mrs. Su, right? Theyre really a match made in heaven. Su Chen narrowed his eyes when he heard the term Mrs. Su . He saw that the woman beside him was about to exin herself when he dragged Chi Xia into the elevator. In the elevator, Chi Xia felt awkward. She looked at Su Chen and said, Youre not married. Where did you get a wife? Su Chen raised his eyebrows. You want to tell others that were not rted, but were living together? Chi Xia felt even more awkward. Fine, it was better not to exin. On the way, the car was very quiet. When they were about to reach school, Chi Xia looked at the man driving and instructed, You have to take your medicine and eat on time. Dont let your illness worsen. Su Chen looked ahead and could already see the signboard of T University. After this woman left, their rtionship might have returned to the way it was before. Chi Xia, Su Chen suddenly said, go cook for me. Huh? Did she really treat him as a nanny? Ill pay you, Su Chen said. Youll be responsible for my meals every day.
Im not short of money. My sses are very full. I dont have that much time to run back and forth. She didnt want to be his nanny. You can stay at my ce, Su Chen said calmly. Just treat it as a dormitory outside. Ill send you to and from ss every day. Staying at his ce was even more iplete. If things went wrong, she would be the unlucky one! You need a nanny, she replied after some thought. You can ask your servants to serve you in your apartment. I dont have the habit of serving others. I dont like people appearing in my sight and disturbing my life. Ive already gotten used to you. I hope you can agree to my proposal. You can pay me whatever you want, and you can ask for anything you want. Already adapted to you Chi Xia lowered her eyes. After a while, she looked up at him. Can I make a request? Yes. Then I hope that we can live together and mind our own business. We can only be hired and hired. We cant have any intimate actions, like this morning I dont want that to happen. Su Chen nodded without hesitation. Sure. Chi Xia was still worried. Youve already promised me. What if you make a mistake after getting drunk? Su Chen narrowed his eyes. So, you want me to give you a promise on paper?
Chi Xia thought about it and thought that it was a good idea. The car stopped. Su Chen said, Alright, Ill go back and draw up the contract. I touched you. Ill give you one billion yuan aspensation. One billion Chi Xias eyes widened in shock. Wasnt it too tempting? Chapter 810: 30,000 A Month As A Nanny Chapter 810: 30,000 A Month As A Nanny
Su Chen looked at her and smiled. Why? Or are you trying to seduce me for this one billion yuan? Chi Xia shook her head. You look down on me. Do you think Im interested in a billion? Tsk! These words were clearly said without confidence. Soon, Chi Xia lowered her head. He must really not want to touch her since he made such a promise! At the same time, he felt a little annoyed. Since he didnt want to touch her so much, why did he touch her before?
Just as Chi Xia was deep in thought, the man beside her suddenly approached her and grabbed her wrist. She looked up and saw his face approaching her. Just as she was in a daze, she heard the man say, Of course, if you touch me, you have to give me the samepensation. .. I wont touch you! Last time, you seemed to be very proactive? Chi Xia was speechless. Su Chens lips curled into a smile as he looked at the part of his wrist that was holding hers. This kind of touch doesnt count. If you dont believe me and want to impensation for touching you, then even if Im rich, I cant stand your torment. What did she mean by not being able to withstand her torment! Why did he say these words so inappropriately! Besides, was he identally touching her now? He was clearly grabbing her wrist on purpose, alright? Chi Xia shook off Su Chens hand and mumbled, I know, Im not an unreasonable person. To be fair, thepensation is mutual. Is that okay? We have reached a consensus. As Su Chen spoke, he took out a piece of white paper from thepartment of the car. Then, he took out a pen and quickly wrote a line of words. Chi Xia stared at him nkly. He was too impatient. He said he was going to draft a contract, and now he was going to draft a handwritten one?
Soon, Su Chen listed the requirements and thepensation of one billion yuan. He handed it to Chi Xia and said, How much sry do you want? You can fill it out yourself. .. There was such a good thing. If she could just fill in the sry, what about the hundred thousand yuan? Chi Xia felt like a pie had fallen from the sky. The good news was too obvious and came so suddenly, so she did not dare to ept it. Su Chen nced at her. Why? Are you worried that Ill sell you out? Chi Xia gritted her teeth, took a pen and paper, and wrote a few words:The monthly sry was 10,000 yuan! After she finished writing, she saw the smile on Su Chens face and felt that she was asking for too little. She had gritted her teeth and written this down. After all, food and amodation were included. It was just a meal. She would not have a problem with such a good deed. However, Su Chen was not short of money. Furthermore, he had a crafty taste and was difficult to please. Otherwise, he would not have looked for her. He nced at Su Chen and secretly added two lines above and below the number 1, turning 10,000 into 30,000. Su Chen did not expose her little actions. He took the contract back and signed his name. Then, he reached out to Chi Xia. Happy working with you. Pleasure. Chi Xia smiled. A monthly sry of 30,000 yuan, of course, the faster.
The smile in Su Chens eyes deepened when he saw Chi Xias smiling face. However, he quickly hid his smile. After being with him for so long, this woman finally smiled happily. Compared to her always being on guard against him, he still liked her at this moment. It seemed that she was relieved after signing the contract. This was good too. Even if he couldnt touch her, it was enough to let her wander around under his eyes every day. She felt that she was taking advantage of him by making him cook for her with a monthly sry of 30,000 yuan. However, she did not know that he was the one who was taking advantage of her. Chapter 811: My Nanny Is Very Popular Chapter 811: My Nanny Is Very Popr
Actually, Chi Xia couldnt tell what she was feeling, but she had agreed to Su Chens conditions without thinking. Although she had a 30,000 monthly sry, she was not short of money. It was just two meals anyway. She was tired of eating in the school cafeteria every day. With the contract in hand, she could finally be at ease with him. Su Chen came to pick Chi Xia up that evening. Chi Xia realized that this man was really free and had the time to be her chauffeur. Chi Xia came out of the dormitory with a big bag in her hand. She ced her bag on the backseat and sat down in the passenger seat.
Su Chen looked at the bag in the rearview mirror and asked, What are you holding? My daily necessities and clothes. Since Im going to live in your house, I have to prepare these things. Chi Xia said casually, but after she finished, she felt that she was being too casual. She looked at Su Chen and asked, Do you have any objections? If you dont want me to bring anything, I can Before she could say the word no , she saw the man lean over. She was shocked and stepped back defensively. What are you doing? Su Chen ignored her. He reached behind her and pulled her seatbelt over to buckle it. Chi Xia was speechless. She seemed to be too sensitive. However, he could have just reminded her about this. Did he need to do it himself? Su Chen nced at Chi Xia. I dont have the habit of squandering. Squander In other words, he wouldnt touch her and lose that one billion. Chi Xias eyes shed with embarrassment. She felt that he was doing this on purpose!
Su Chen started the car as if nothing had happened. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. On the way, they passed by a pharmacy. Chi Xia asked Su Chen to stop the car and wait for a while before she got out of the car and rushed into the pharmacy. Chi Xia bought a huge pile of medicine, all kinds of emergency medicine and cold medicine, and then returned to the car. Noticing Su Chens confused gaze, she exined, You dont have any medicine at home. These can be used just in case. In the future, if you catch a cold or have a fever, you can save yourself. Su Chen smiled. Looks like I made the right choice by choosing you as my nanny. Chi Xia was speechless. At this moment, her phone rang. Chi Xia picked it up, but before she could say anything, she heard Qiao Mus voice, Xiaxia, theres a draft in my dorm room. Take a photo and send it to me. Im outside. Chi Xia replied. What are you doing? Didnt you finish your ss? Im eating. Dinner so early? With who? .. Are you checking your household registration?
Xiaxia, youre feeling guilty. I still have something to do, so I wont talk about it for now. Chi Xia hung up after she finished speaking. Su Chen, who was driving, narrowed his eyes when he heard the contents of Chi Xias call. He asked nonchntly, Who is checking your ount? It seems that my nanny is very popr. Chi Xia heard his questioning tone and frowned. She lowered her head and didnt say anything. Su Chen noticed Chi Xias reaction from the corner of his eye. His face turned cold and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. Was it her first love? This woman was still in contact with that person? In an instant, Su Chens good mood was gone. Chi Xia could feel the change in the atmosphere. Seeing the mans gloomy face, she opened her mouth and exined, Mumu is looking for me. Is that so? It was obvious from his tone that he didnt believe her. Then, Su Chen said coldly, Be my nanny. You dont have to report your private matters to me! Chi Xia lowered her head and remained silent. That was right, why did she have to exin to him!
Chapter 812: Ning Tongtong’s Showing Off Chapter 812: Ning Tongtongs Showing Off
At the Li familys vi. Qiao Mu was nestled on the sofa drawing. During this period of time, Li Yan would pick her up and send her off every day after ss, so her days were very leisurely. Li Yan had a social gathering tonight, and Qiao Mu had no sses in the afternoon, so the chauffeur took her home. Then, he received a notification from Key, and the Paris Winter Fashion Week officially began nning. The time was set to be early next month. Qiao Mu would be in Paris for half a month, and she would have the chance to participate in this event if she won the championship. Qiao Mu was indescribably excited when she received this news. She wanted to share it with Li Yan immediately, but she also wanted to tell him personally, so she could only suppress her excitement and wait for Li Yan to return home.
Then, half an hour after she received the message from the Key, she logged into Weibo and found that Ning Tongtong had updated her Weibo. Ever since thepetition, Ning Tongtong had only posted one message. It was a simple message:The clear is clear. Then, he disappeared from the intepletely. In the face of all kinds of verbal attacks, he no longer exined or admitted it. When Qiao Mu saw this news, she found it extremelyughable. She truly found it hard to imagine what kind of mentality Ning Tongtong had when she said such words. However, after such a long time, Ning Tongtong posted on Weibo again. The content of the Weibo post was: See you at the Paris Winter Fashion Week. I will use my strength to dispel everyones doubts about me. Qiao Mu was stunned. Ning Tongtong was also participating in Paris Fashion Week? At this moment, the phone rang. It was an unknown number. The call went through, and Qiao Mu said, Hello. Ning Tongtongs voice sounded from the other end of the line. Qiao Mu, did you see my Weibo message? Are you surprised? Qiao Mus lips curled up coldly. Youve indeed surprised me. It looks like Shu Xinyu has pulled a lot of strings for you, right? You even managed to get into Paris Fashion Week. Congrattions in advance. The higher you climb through your connections, the harder you fall. Ning Tongtong burst intoughter. Qiao Mu, I know youre jealous of me, so you can be jealous all you want. Do you think you can ruin my reputation so easily? Ill make aeback very soon. As for you suing me, I look forward to your sess! Qiao Mu was speechless when she heard Ning Tongtongs maniacalughter. So youre here to show off to me. If this makes you feel better, you can show off to your hearts content. I just want to tell you that Paris Fashion Week is not a childs y. Are you sure your designs are presentable? I wont make the same mistake again and again. The thing I regret the most in my life is using your work. Its okay, Ill turn over a new leaf soon!
Sure, Im looking forward to seeing you flip and fall in the air. Qiao Mu gloated. Ning Tongtong originally wanted to call Qiao Mu to anger her and see how depressed Qiao Mu would be after learning about this, but she never expected it to bepletely different from what she had expected! This woman was indeed thick-skinned! Ning Tongtongughed coldly and said agitatedly, Qiao Mu, you dont have to be envious of me. Were not on the same level at all. My stepmother treats me as well as she can, but your biological mother doesnt want you, and your stepmother despises you. How pitiful! Qiao Mus expression darkened. She didnt care how Ning Tongtong attacked her, but she used this matter to provoke her! Ning Tongtong tightened her grip on her phone and continued,By the way, I found out a huge piece of news. I cant believe it. It turns out that youre not the illegitimate daughter of the Qiao family but an orphan! Oh my god, youre so pitiful. So you still have the Qiao family as your backer. Now, you have nothing. Compared to me, youre simply delusional andughable! Chapter 813: Who Made My Little Woman Angry? Chapter 813: Who Made My Little Woman Angry?
Qiao Mus eyes turned cold. Ning Tongtong, if this is the only way you can gain some face from me, I dont think you need to waste this time. No matter how much you show off, youre just trash in my eyes. I cant even get enough of you, so why would I envy trash? Qiao Mu! Ning Tongtong instantly lost control. Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Youd better go and show off to someone else. Youll only be asking for a snub here. Goodbye, Miss Trash. After saying that, Qiao Mu hung up the call and threw her phone away like she was throwing trash. She threw it on the sofa opposite her, and her phone bounced off the sofa and onto the floor. The phone collided with the ground, producing a crisp sound that instantly extinguished the anger in Qiao Mus heart. She immediately got up and took her phone back to check. The previous phone was broken by Ning Tongtong, and she had used her private savings to buy a new one. If she suffered because of Ning Tongtong, it would really not be worth it.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind. What are you doing? Who made my little woman angry? Qiao Mu was shocked and turned around abruptly. She saw Li Yan standing at the door without her noticing. She was so angry that she didnt hear the door open. Li Yan hung his suit jacket on the hanger and changed his shoes. He walked over to Qiao Mu and sat down beside her. He scooped her up and ced her on hisp. The little woman had been so aggressive just now, and now her face was filled with ayer of gloominess. Clearly, she had been provoked by someone. Qiao Mu took the opportunity to burrow into Li Yans embrace. She kissed the faint smell of alcohol and tobo on his body, but it still could not conceal his unique mint fragrance, which calmed her down instantly. She stuck her head out and sniffed around Li Yans mouth beforeing to a conclusion. Youre smoking and drinking. Youve been fooling around outside. Identificationplete! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. He lowered his head and steadied her lips. She could smell the alcohol in his mouth, and she could not resist it. As expected, she liked a person, even their ws. At this moment, the man was an annoying drunkard, but why didnt she dislike him at all? His scent instantly spread in her mouth, as if the alcohol content was extremely high. The kiss made Qiao Mu dizzy. After a while, Li Yan let go of her and looked down at her flushed face. This is the real test. Did you smoke? Qiao Mu shook her head. His body smelled like smoke, but there was no smoke in his mouth. It must be someone else smoking, and the smoke had caused his clothes to smell like smoke.
This man was quite obedient! Qiao Mu was curious. Uncle, why dont you smoke? Men are so handsome when they smoke. You wont even let me see your cool and handsome side. You want to see me smoke? Unless you want to get beaten up. What does smoking have to do with getting beaten up? Qiao Mu was puzzled. Because I only smoke when you make me angry. He smoked when he was in a bad mood, but only when she provoked him. When he encountered trouble at work, he would only use his actions to solve it. However, when he was provoked by a little woman, he could not vent his anger on her. He could only digest his emotions by himself. Qiao Mu chuckled. Then I can give it a try. Hmm? If you want to be beaten up, I can beat you up now. Li Yansrge hand patted her P * nis twice. The little woman snorted and waved his hand away. What happened just now? Li Yan asked.
Chapter 814: Husband, Father, Mother Chapter 814: Husband, Father, Mother
When Qiao Mu heard Li Yans question, she pouted in grievance. When she was alone, she could tolerate Ning Tongtongs insults, but in front of this man, she could not control her emotions. The habit of relying on him was too scary. She was not so fragile and pretentious, but now she was spoiled by him. Some peopleughed at me for not having a backer and for being an orphan without a mother. She pressed her face against his chest and said in a muffled voice, But Ive already fought back. I wont take advantage of my words. No one can take advantage of me! Except for him. Only the man in front of her had a venomous tongue to the point where she could not retaliate. Li Yans heart ached when he heard Qiao Mus words.
He lifted her up and let her sit on hisp, facing each other. This position made Qiao Mu a little shy. Seeing the mans serious expression, she immediately dismissed the impure thoughts in her mind and met his bottomless ck eyes. Li Yan pinched her toot cheeks. Youre unhappy because of such a boring thing? If youre worried, why dont you think about how to make me happy? Qiao Mu was speechless. Where was thefort? Then, Li Yans expression turned serious. Little thing, if you want someone to rely on, I dont think anyone can be more reliable than me. If you want parents, I can dote on you like a father, love you like a mother, and dote on you like a husband. Tell me, what else do youck? Qiao Mus heart throbbed. This man always made her feel touched like she had never felt before. Every time, she would feel that this was perhaps the most touching thing she had ever heard from him in her life. However, reality proved that the asional domineering aura of a man was enough to melt her. Li Yan had never been a man who liked to say sweet nothings, but every time he said it, it would take her months to digest it. Qiao Mu hugged Li Yans neck tightly. Her nose was a little sore, and she actually did not know what to say in response. After a while, she looked up at him. Uncle, Im just a male servant. Li Yan was speechless.
This little thing really knew how to ruin the atmosphere! Seeing the tears in her eyes, he grunted in annoyance. Ill satisfy you. I stillck a grandson. Actually, what she meant was that she needed him to be like a grandson sometimes, to serve her like a grandmother, so that she could be the empress dowager. However, Li Yans lips curled into a devilish smile. First, I want a son. Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, the atmosphere changed. Qiao Mu buried her face in Li Yans neck and breathed in the scent on his body. The two of them sat quietly. They didnt need to talk, but the warmth almost melted their hearts. After a while, Qiao Mu said in disgust, Hurry up and change your clothes and take a shower. It stinks! You smelled it for half an hour before you got sick of it? Li Yan curled his lips and held her in his arms. He got up and went upstairs. Qiao Mu was a little sleepy, but she suddenly thought of something. She blinked her big eyes and asked, Uncle, you said you wanted to be like a mother just now. How are you going to treat me? Li Yan met Qiao Mus sparkling eyes. He wanted to y dumb, but he still cooperated and said, I love you.
In the next second, Qiao Mu burst outughing happily. Love her! Qiao Mu wrapped her arms around Li Yans neck and kissed him on the lips before falling asleep contentedly in his arms. However, Qiao Mu had forgotten to share the important matter with Li Yan Chapter 815: Do You Want To Be In A Long-Distance Relationship With Me? Chapter 815: Do You Want To Be In A Long-Distance Rtionship With Me?
Early the next morning, Qiao Mu recalled important matters while having breakfast. Uncle, Im going to Paris next month to attend Fashion Week. Its thergest fashion week in the world! she said as she ate her porridge. His tone was a little boastful. Li Yan paused and raised his eyebrows. So, how long will you be gone? Qiao Mu was speechless. Why was he not happy at all! What he cared about was the time!
Qiao Mu answered very honestly, Not long. Its only been a month. Its like youre on a business trip. Li Yan frowned. Arent you worried about being expelled from school for skipping sses for a month? Qiao Mus lips twitched. So, was he looking for trouble? She had hoped that he would be as happy as she was, but this man was unhappy because he was going to be separated from her for a period of time! Alright, she had overestimated Young Master Lis tolerance. At this thought, Qiao Mu thought of something else. She looked at the man opposite her as if nothing had happened. Uncle, if I have a chance to go to Paris to further my studies, would you support me? It would be very helpful for my development in the field of design. Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes and asked this question. However, the man opposite her did not even think about it and directly replied,I dont support it. Qiao Mu was speechless. Why dont you ask how long youll be gone for? How can it help me? You dont take me seriously! Li Yan raised his eyes and nced at her. I wont support you no matter how long you go. Letting you go to Paris for a month is already my limit. I dont have the habit of staying alone in an empty room. Qiao Mu snorted. But thats my dream, my career, and my future! You have value in staying alone in an empty room.
In your dreams, you should put me first. His tone was domineering. Qiao Mu stretched out her finger and pointed at him. You, Li Yan, youre the typical straight male cancer patient on the inte. Youre a male chauvinist and unreasonable, hmph! Qiao Mu expressed her dissatisfaction despite her bad expectations. Actually, Li Yans answer was within her expectations. This man would definitely not agree to it. They had been separated for a month and he had already given her a hard time, let alone two years! She couldnt bear to be separated for two years, alright? That was why he was so conflicted! It would be a pity to let go of such a good opportunity. Two years was enough for her to grow up. As a presentable woman, just thinking about standing beside him made her feel very satisfied. If she gave up on this opportunity given to her by the Key and continued to graduate from university, she would be a newbie who had achieved nothing in two years. She would have to start over. After all, this industry was dominated by fashion, and the changes were too fast. As a designer, if she didnt make any progress, she would be retreating. Just as Qiao Mu was deep in thought, she heard Li Yan say, Why are you suddenly asking this? Do you want to have a long-distance rtionship with me? * Cough * Long-distance rtionship? His description was really vivid.
Qiao Mu smiled. Uncle, I was just casually saying it. Why are you so agitated? Itd be best if thats the case. If I find out what youre thinking, Ill kill those restless thoughts in the cradle. the man said forcefully. Qiao Mu was speechless. Uncle, you said you would support my career. The premise is that youre by my side. Leave me and develop your career. Dont even think about it! Li Yan paused and lowered his voice. Mu Mu, Ill give you time to grow, but thats on the condition that it doesnt affect our rtionship. [Shadow Finger can tell you that there will definitely not be a scene of a few yearster after a falling out.] Chapter 816: I’ve Already Missed Ten Years, I Don’t Want to Miss It Again Chapter 816: Ive Already Missed Ten Years, I Dont Want to Miss It Again
Qiao Mu pursed her lips. So our rtionship cant withstand the test of time that much? Separating for a period of time has affected our rtionship? Dont twist my words. Then what do you mean? Qiao Mu clutched at her braids and refused to let go. Li Yan wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and patted his thigh. Come here. I think I need to educate you and correct your way of thinking. NO!Qiao Mu crossed her arms childishly and rejected Li Yans invitation. Li Yan frowned and stood up. She stood still, so he walked towards her.
After that, Qiao Mu was scooped up from the chair by Li Yan, and he carried her in his arms as if he was carrying his daughter. Qiao Mu shouted, Im eating. What are you doing? I want to talk to you. I just asked a random question. Can you not be so serious? Actually, she didnt want to face this problem. Im already serious. He really lost to him! Qiao Mu ate the egg while replying, Speak, speak. Stop eating. Be more serious. Big Brother, Ill eat what youre saying. I listen to you with my ears, not my mouth. It wont affect my hearing. Li Yan really wanted to beat the little woman up when he saw how arrogant she was. When did she be so bold to treat him like this?! Thinking about it carefully, she no longer took him seriously. The little woman who used to be cautious and afraid of him had long disappeared. Li Yan was helpless. He took a tissue and wiped the egg yolk off the corner of her mouth. He whispered, Qiao Mu, I wont stop you from doing what you like. You have your ideals and goals, so Ill support you. If you need my help, Ill help you. If you can solve it yourself, Ill just watch from the side.
You want to improve your position in your industry. You think that this is the only way you can be worthy of me. Im very happy that youre working hard for me, but this doesnt mean that you can do whatever you want for your ideals. If you give up the time we spent together for your ideals, whats the point? Weve already wasted ten years on this. I dont want to waste any more time together. Li Yans words made Qiao Mus heart ache. This was the first time this man had brought up this matter so seriously. He had clearly told her his thoughts. Yes, they had been separated for ten years. They could have been together in these ten years. She could have watched him grow from a boy to a mature man with her own eyes, and he could have grown up happily with her. After missing out on ten years, how could they bear to part again? Qiao Mu lowered her head and did not dare to meet Li Yans deep and serious eyes, afraid that he would see through her thoughts. Actually, when she received the contract, it was a fifty-fifty decision to leave or stay. She was very conflicted and did not know how to make a decision. She really wanted to climb to a very high position as soon as possible. In front of him, she was no longer a university student who had aplished nothing. She was like his child, protected by him. She also hoped to help him. However, love and ideals were on the opposite side. As Qiao Mu thought about it, she forgot to stir the egg in her mouth. The dry yolk stuck to her throat, causing her to cough.
This cough was not a big deal. He spat out the egg in his mouth. The yellow and white egg crumbs sprayed all over Li Yans clean shirt. Chapter 817: My Dream Is You Chapter 817: My Dream Is You
Li Yan was speechless. Qiao Mu was speechless. In an instant, the atmosphere froze. Qiao Mu carefully raised her head to look at the mans expression. Uh, it was indeed very ugly. Uncle, Im sorry, Im sorry. Qiao Mu hurriedly took a tissue to wipe his clothes. This wipe was fine, but the eggs that were originally just floating on the surface of his clothes were all stuck to his clothes.
Li Yan grabbed her hand. Are you using this method to interrupt my conversation? ..She shook her head innocently. He patted her butt. Lets go down first. Oh, oh. Only then did Qiao Mu react and jump down from hisp. She felt her face burning. It was really embarrassing, okay? She was simply too udylike. She could even spit on Li Yan during a meal! Li Yan saw that he could no longer wear his clothes, so he unbuttoned them and took off his shirt. Qiao Mu was stunned. There were servants beside him, so how could he take off his clothes in front of another woman?! She quickly took off her jacket and ced it on his shoulder. Uncle, dont catch a cold. Li Yan was speechless. At this moment, the butler had already brought a set of clothes over. Li Yan slowly changed into it. Qiao Mu rushed into the washroom, washed her hands, and rinsed her mouth. She was finally done.
Qiao Mu lowered her head in front of Li Yan and said awkwardly, Uncle, I sprayed it. You dont think its dirty, do you? Dislike. ..Cant you give me some face? Li Yan patted her little head. Raise your head. Lets continue our previous topic. Alright, go ahead! At this moment, Qiao Mus attitude was obviously much better. Who asked her to make such a big fool of herself just now! Did you listen to my words? What do you want to say? I think youre right! Qiao Mu nodded in agreement. Li Yan frowned and said helplessly, I dont mind that youre dirty. Speak properly. Only then did Qiao Mu raise her head, her face somewhat eptable. Thinking of what he had just said, she leaned in front of him and hugged his waist. Li Yan, I dont want to be separated from you either. Li Yans eyes darkened as she called his name. This little woman would always call him uncle in a spoiled manner. Her sweet and soft voice made him feel veryfortable.
Although there were many times when he felt that if outsiders heard this uncle , they would really think that they were uncle and nephew, he still indulged her in calling him that. He felt very intimate hearing her call him that. Only when she was unhappy or angry would she call him Li Yan. However, the little woman was telling him her thoughts in a serious manner. She did not want to be separated from him either. This sentence was enough. Li Yan caressed Qiao Mus head. Mu Mu, I dont want to deprive you of your freedom. Its just thatpared to you realizing your dreams, I want to realize my own dreams more. My dream is you. I want to have you at all times. I will only allow you to realize your dreams when my dreams are fulfilled. So, dont think that Im selfish. To him, there was nothing that he could not achieve. Everything was within his control. Only she would have an unforeseen event that he could not control. Qiao Mus nose turned sour when she heard Li Yans words, and tears welled up in her eyes. He had already said it so emotionally, so how could she not appreciate it? Even if this man was overbearing and unreasonable, he was doing it for her own good. At this moment, Qiao Mu had already made up her mind.
Chapter 818: Have You Decided to Sign the Contract? Chapter 818: Have You Decided to Sign the Contract?
After that, Qiao Mu went to school while Li Yan went to thepany. The two of them parted ways. Qiao Mu returned to her dormitory and took out the contract and proposal that Key had given her before heaving a heavy sigh. She worked hard to get closer to her goal, not just to be able to stand side by side with Li Yan. This was a path that she had to walk in her life, a part of her n. She loved design, so she wanted to be recognized in this field. When her designs were recognized by Key, when the sales of her designs were hot, and when she won the championship medal that belonged to her, that kind of happiness was what she wanted. However,pared to her career, Li Yan was more important.
However, this didnt mean that she had to give up this opportunitypletely. Qiao Mu put the contract into her bag and then browsed through a lot of information on how to get a designers certificate as an amateur. Key wanted her to study so that she could get a designer certificate. With this certificate, her status in the industry would be different. Key had nurtured her with all his heart, and he didnt want to let her down. Qiao Mu had gathered a lot of information and understood this field, so she had a sense of propriety. Although Li Yan had said that he wanted to kill her restless thoughts, if he knew that she would really give up this opportunity for him, he would definitely feel guilty, right? There was still one more week before she was ready to leave for Paris. Qiao Mu wanted to rify this matter with Teacher Key before she left for Paris. The next two days were weekends. At night, Li Yan had a video conference in the study room and told Superintendent Ouyang about some overseas matters. After Qiao Mu took a shower, she recalled that it was Monday the next day, so she called Key. Mr. Key, Qiao Mu answered, I want to talk to you about the contract. Key was slightly stunned. Youve thought of it so quickly? Didnt I give you time to think it over? You dont have to answer me so quickly.
Qiao Mu smiled. Ive already thought it through. Even if I consider it for another month, my decision wont change. After all, Ill be leaving for two years. Ive thought about this very carefully, so I want to discuss my next n with you as soon as possible. So, have you decided to sign the contract? To discuss her next n with him meant that she was ready to sign the contract. Key was not surprised. This decision was within his expectations. He could clearly see Qiao Mus love for design. A designer who had the ability and the will to pursue the matter would not give up such a good opportunity. No, Qiao Mu replied frankly. Ill go to thepany tomorrow morning to look for you. I want to talk about it in person. Key could not figure out Qiao Mus thoughts. After a moment of silence, he said, Qiao Mu, I hope you wont disappoint me. I wont, Mr. Key. I wont let you down. I wont disturb your rest. Well talk about the contract when we meet. Outside the door, Li Yan finished his work and was about to return to his bedroom when he heard Qiao Mus voice. She was on the phone, and he was prepared to hear the word contract from her mouth. He stopped in his tracks. Then, when he heard the following content, his face darkened bit by bit. Contract? Leave for two years? What was his next n? Li Yan frowned when he heard those words. She had never mentioned a contract to him. He had a bad feeling about it.
He recalled that Qiao Mu had mentioned going to Paris for further studies [Todays update is over.] Chapter 819: I Hope He’s More Important Than Her Work Chapter 819: I Hope Hes More Important Than Her Work
Qiao Mu hung up the phone and heard some soft noises outside the door. She thought that Li Yan had returned, so she put the phone aside and got into bed to wait for him toe in. However, the door was not pushed open for a long time, and Qiao Muy down helplessly. It seemed like she was imagining things. She did not know how long Li Yans video conference wouldst. After all, they were going to be separated for a month soon. A certain man had a lot of needs, so of course, she was very understanding of him. Therefore, she was very considerate and got into bed. Outside the door, Li Yan did not enter the house. It was as if his heart was on fire, burning his rationality in an instant.
It turned out that what she had said before was not just a casual remark. She was testing him! She had already nned and made arrangements. Li Yan went downstairs and took out a document from Qiao Mus bag. When he saw the contents, his expression darkened. He signed a contract with the Key brand as the chief designer, with the condition that he had to study abroad for two years. Li Yan held the contract tightly. Therefore, her phone call just now meant that she had made up her mind and was ready to sign the contract! He didnt agree, so she hid this matter from him first and then reported it to him? He had already said what he needed to say, but she still decided to sign the contract! Li Yans heart suddenly tightened. It was as if there was a sharp sword stabbing his chest, causing him to suffocate in pain. It turned out that he had said so much nonsense! She said that she didnt want to be separated from him either. Was she just coaxing him? In her eyes, her career was always more important than him!
After a while, he put the contract back and returned to the study. Qiao Mu waited in bed for a long time. Time ticked by, and it was already veryte. She was a little sleepy, but Li Yan still did not return to his room. She got up and went to the study. She knocked on the door and pushed it open. She looked at the man who was working with his head lowered. Uncle, arent you going to sleep? Li Yans eyes did not even look up as he said coldly, I still have work to do. You sleep first. Its already veryte. Lets sleep together? Qiao Mu extended an invitation. If it was in the past, this man would put down his work and sleep with her no matter how busy he was when he heard such ambiguous words like lets sleep together. However, after she said this, she saw that the mans expression did not change at all. His gaze was fixed on theputer screen, and his attitude was still cold. Go to sleep first. I still have work to do. Qiao Mu suddenly felt like she was being ignored. She had invited him, but he actually refused! Qiao Mu did not give up. She walked up and leaned her upper body against the office desk, her head leaning close to him. Uncle, is work more important than me? Li Yans hand that was holding the keyboard paused for a moment. He raised his eyes and finally looked at Qiao Mu. He asked, What do you think? Of course Im the important one! Qiao Mu blinked. Right? What about you? Which is more important, work or me?
At that moment, Li Yan was trying his best to suppress the fire in his heart, trying to control it so that it would not explode. He just wanted to calm down and pretend that he didnt know anything while waiting for the results of her signing the contract tomorrow. Perhaps she would change her mind tomorrow? Perhaps, she regretted the decision she made tonight! Qiao Mu did not notice that something was wrong with Li Yan and pouted. Of course youre more important! For him, she had given up such a good opportunity to study abroad. She could have learned a lot less. If he knew, wouldnt he be touched to death? Li Yan narrowed his eyes. I hope so. Chapter 820: Can He Give You A Lifetime of Happiness? Chapter 820: Can He Give You A Lifetime of Happiness?
Qiao Mu did not understand what Li Yan meant. His attitude was really off. Then, Li Yan ordered her to leave. Go back to your room and sleep. Ill sleep after Im done with work. Dont worry about me. Qiao Mu could clearly feel that she was being treated coldly. She pouted her lips angrily and turned to leave. You can sleep with your work! Humph! When Qiao Mu left the study, Li Yans expression turned cold. He clenched his fists tightly and felt his temples throb, causing his nerves to tense up. Leaning back in his seat, his tall figure looked extremely lonely. Qiao Mu, dont disappoint me.
Qiao Mu did not wait for Li Yan to return to her room even after she fell asleep. When she woke up in the morning, the person beside her was not there either. Her resentment instantly soared. Why was she being ignored? She was going to Paris in two days and would be separated for a month. Not only did he not take the opportunity to develop a rtionship with her, but he also gave her the cold shoulder! Qiao Mu went downstairs and wanted to seek an exnation from Li Yan, butLi Yan was not at home! The butler said that Li Yan had something to do in thepany early in the morning and went out. Qiao Mu stomped her feet in anger. It was simply baffling. Miss Qiao, did you quarrel with Young Master? The butler asked with concern. Young Master doesnt look too good. Qiao Mu was very innocent. No, he probably encountered some troubles at work. Qiao Mu didnt think too much about it. Last night, he was on a video call with Ouyang in the study. Perhaps something troublesome had happened overseas and affected his mood, but he had transferred this bad mood onto her and neglected her! She was so angry! After Qiao Mu had breakfast, she went straight to Key Studios.
Key smiled when he saw Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, Im waiting for you. You can give me an answer now. Qiao Mu ced the contract on the desk. Key took a look at it, but Qiao Mus signature was not on the contract. Key was slightly stunned. This is your answer? You want to give up this opportunity? Qiao Mu shook her head. Key teacher, I dont want to give up this opportunity, but I cant leave this city either. Although this has always been my dream, there are people here that I cant bear to let go of. I want the best of both worlds. Qiao Mu, youre too greedy. I only gave you one choice. Whichever side you choose, you can only give up the other. I thought you would send a signed contract to me. I really didnt expect this oue. You gave up your future for love. Are you sure youve thought it through? Key stood up and walked to Qiao Mu. At your age, youll think that love is very important and you can give up everything for love. But in the future, youll regret the decision youve made now. Im not trying to deny your love, but can a man like Li Yan really give you a lifetime of happiness? Perhaps you are very important to him now, but what about the future? Qiao Mu, love can change, but as long as you work hard in your career, it wont let you down. He really did not want to give up on Qiao Mu. He thought that Qiao Mus decision would not disappoint him, and he was originally certain that Qiao Mu would agree. Although Qiao Mu was only a 19-year-old girl, she was more mature than her peers and knew what path was best for her. After all, Li Yan might just be a passerby in her youth. The happiness she had now might be real. However, could such a high and mighty man really stay by her side for the rest of her life? Chapter 821: Having Love and Careers at the Same Time Chapter 821: Having Love and Careers at the Same Time
Key did not expect Qiao Mu to take such a risky path for the sake of this love. She gave up her career and was willing to be Li Yans woman? However, it was indeed a good choice. She did not need to work hard or struggle. All she needed to do was reach out and Li Yan would give her everything she wanted. This kind of thing could be said to be very normal for other women, but he did not expect it to happen to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu lowered her head when she heard Keys words. Actually, she could understand Keys thoughts. Outsiders might think that Li Yan was not that serious about her, and she had been uncertain in the past. However, after experiencing so much, only she herself understood how strong her rtionship with Li Yan was. Even if they were given eight lifetimes, they would still be together.
Her uncle would never abandon her. However, it was normal for bystanders to hold a negative attitude. After all, the possibility of a man who was praised by everyone and an ordinary university student like her having a future was very small. This was also what she had always minded. That was why she had to work hard to prove herself. She wanted to seize any opportunity to make herself better. She did not want to leave. It was not because she was greedy and wanted to be Li Yans rice worm. Just as Li Yan had said, even if she worked hard to improve, she wanted to stay by his side. Qiao Mu did not want to exin her love to Key, but she wanted him to know how serious she was about her career. Before Qiao Mu could say anything, Key sighed. Qiao Mu, I didnt expect you to disappoint me. Since thats the case, I have nothing to say. Qiao Mu hurriedly shook her head. Its not like that, Key teacher. Listen to me, I didnt say I was giving up! Key frowned. Then what do you mean? Mr. Key, I know Im greedy, but I want both career and love. Please give me a chance. I didnte here today to reject this contract. Ill definitely sign it. Its just that I cant fulfill the conditions in advance. Keys face darkened. Qiao Mu, theres no such thing in this world. You cant just do whatever you want. I dont need a mediocre designer. Mr. Key, please let me finish before you make a decision. Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly and said very seriously, I know that Im not outstanding enough right now. You wanted me to study abroad and hope that I can get a designers certificate because you want to give me recognition in terms of status. I know that all of this is for my own good. Fashion design is indeed very important to me, and I wont give up. However, I wont give up my love for my future, either, so Ive already done my research. I can get a diploma from the Paris University of Professional Designer through self-study. Ill definitely pass the exam and get my certificate at the end of the semester.
After Qiao Mu finished speaking, she looked at Key with bright eyes. Seeing that the other party did not respond, she smiled awkwardly. You might think that Im bragging. Its so difficult to get a graduation certificate, and the chances of me self-studying are very small. However, Ill definitely work hard. Even if I have to risk my life, I want to be a designer under the brand of SKK. I hope you can give me this chance. She had done her research. In order to get a designers certificate, there was another way other than being a student. That was to study by herself. Although it was more difficult, she wanted to try it through her own efforts. Who asked her to be reluctant to part with Li Yan? Chapter 822: This Time, It’s Her Turn to Pay Chapter 822: This Time, Its Her Turn to Pay
Key narrowed his eyes and closely sized up Qiao Mu. Her words surprised him. He had thought that she was giving up on this opportunity, but this was the result. She wanted love and a career. But Key said calmly, Have you thought it through? Choosing to self-study and self-take the exam, how hard is this process? Are you mentally prepared? The requirements of foreign universities for self-study students are several times more difficult than for current students. Its not something you can do with just a few words. Teacher Key, I can do it. As long as you agree and give me this chance, I wont let you down. Qiao Mus tone was filled with confidence and did not back down at all.
Qiao Mu, is it worth it to choose such a difficult path in order to stay? Or are you not confident in your rtionship? If he really cares about you, he can wait for you for two years and let you walk the path you like. Or is this a choice he wants you to make? Qiao Mu shook her head and smiled. He doesnt know about this. I tried to probe him, and his answer was definitely not to let me leave. Key teacher, maybe you think hes very selfish, but when ites to rtionships, its selfish. I feel the same way as him. I dont want to leave him. Id rather work harder than to protect our love. Its worth it. In a rtionship between two people, there would always be sacrifices. There would always be one person who would sacrifice more. Regarding this matter, she did not feel that she was being wronged at all because she did not choose not to stay because she wanted to cater to Li Yans thoughts. She really did not want to leave. She did not want to be separated from Li Yan for another two years. She couldpletely understand the affectionate words that Li Yan had said to her that morning. How could she let him down? He had always been the one giving everything. This time, it was her turn! Key looked at the girl in front of him. Her body seemed to be shining with a beautiful light, dazzling and eye-catching. She looked like she was full of confidence in her love. At this moment, Key knew that Qiao Mu was indeed different from other girls. She did not pursue fame and fortune, nor did she worship money. All the decisions she made were because she loved that man. Key sat down on the chair and crossed his fingers on the desk. He pondered for a moment before looking up at Qiao Mu. I can agree to it, but there are still some prerequisites. Qiao Mus heart leaped with joy. She nodded and continued to speak while ring at Key. I support you if you want to study on your own, but you cantpletely refuse to ept professional guidance from overseas. Ill contact overseas schools for you. Every semester, you have to attend a months worth of courses and receive professional courses. Ive already made the final concession. If you cant even do this, then I have nothing to say. One month per semester meant two months per year.
Qiao Mu did not hesitate at all and nodded heavily. I promise you, Teacher Key. I can do this. Leaving for a month was equivalent to going on a business trip. It was not difficult at all. Key looked at Qiao Mus ecstatic expression and calmly said, What are you still standing there for? Sign the contract. Qiao Mu grunted in response and happily signed the contract. She smiled as she signed. Key teacher, youre really my talent. In the future, when my career is flourishing and Im richer than you, Ill definitely not forget your teachings. KEY Youre quite ambitious. Youve just started and you want to climb higher than me? Everyone has to have ambition! Chapter 823: His Little Woman Couldn’t Bear to Leave Him Chapter 823: His Little Woman Couldnt Bear to Leave Him
After signing the contract, Qiao Mu put it into her bag in satisfaction. Key said, You should know the news on Weibo. Ning Tongtong will be attending Paris Fashion Week. Qiao Mu nodded. Key teacher, how could she sneak into such arge fashion show? Shu Xinyu must have used her connections. You probably dont know this, but Shu Xinyu also graduated as a designer. She knows people in Paris. This time, she has organized a team, and Ning Tongtong is one of them. So even if Ning Tongtongs personal level is low, it wont affect the development of the entire team. So it was really Shu Xinyu who came forward. Qiao Mu never expected Shu Xinyu to be a designer as well. She wanted to take this pathpared to Ning Tongtong because of her stepmothers influence, right? So, did ourwsuit against Ning Tongtong have any effect? Qiao Mu asked after some thought.
Theint has been sent over. I reckon that the case will only be heard after the Paris Fashion Week ends. The evidence is in my hands. Its only a matter of time. You just have to focus on your own things and dont think about anything else. Qiao Mu nodded and felt relieved. She then bade farewell to Key and left. The contract would take effect early next year. By then, her hard days woulde and she would not be as rxed as she was now. Qiao Mus mood was indescribably happy. There were only three days left before she would be heading to Paris for the Fashion Week, so she had to celebrate this matter in advance. After Qiao Mu returned to school, she told Chi Xia and Guan Baobei the good news. The two of them kept asking her to treat them to a big meal. In the end, they decided to set it for the night before they left for Paris. They would have a good meal and a good nights sleep on the ne. Of course, he had to tell Li Yan about such a big matter. Qiao Mu had not told Li Yan about this because she wanted to give him a surprise. She had handled this matter so perfectly, so he would definitely praise her. After Qiao Mu returned home, she went straight into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Li Yan. Last night, he was in a bad mood at work and had neglected her. She was a magnanimous person and did not hold it against him. She even wanted to cook for him. Why was she so virtuous? Li Yans mood was extremely gloomy the entire day. Qiao Mu had indeed gone to Key Studio in the morning, and she had not contacted him for the entire day. Did she not mention this to him because she wanted to give up, so there was no need to tell him?
Li Yans heart tightened. The anger that he had been suppressing for the entire day was almost burning him up. On the way, Lei Yi drove the car. The atmosphere in the car was very bad. Lei Yi tried to mediate the atmosphere and said,Young Master, Ive collected a lot of ideas about the proposal you mentionedst time. Do you want to hear them? As soon as she said that, she received a cold gaze from the man behind her. When did I say that I wanted to propose? Lei Yi was speechless. Was Young Master Li being tsundere or changing his mind? When Li Yan returned home, he heard from the butler that Qiao Mu was in the kitchen. He walked to the kitchen door and saw Qiao Mu busying herself, looking very happy. Qiao Mu noticed Li Yan and smiled with narrowed eyes. Uncle, youre back? Wait for me outside. Ill be done cooking in a while. Li Yans heart skipped a beat. Looking at the busy figure, the haze of the whole day dissipated. How could his little woman bear to leave him? If she really decided to leave, she would definitely discuss it with him in advance and not hide it from him! Li Yan returned to the living room and waited for Qiao Mu to prepare dinner.
Chapter 824: Where Did She Place Him? Chapter 824: Where Did She ce Him?
Li Yan walked to the sofa and saw Qiao Mus bag at the side. He walked over to open her bag and saw that the contract was still inside. However, Qiao Mus name was already signed on the contract that was not signedst night! Li Yans face turned dark and ugly in an instant. His pitch-ck eyes seemed to be on fire, and his eyes were red. This woman! She really did sign the contract behind his back. So, she cooked just to please him and tell him about it?
Li Yan felt suffocated. He took a deep breath, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not control the mes. At this moment, Qiao Mu came out of the kitchen. Uncle, the food is ready. We can Before Qiao Mu could say the words lets eat, she saw Li Yan reading her contract in his hand. Why was he rummaging through her bag? However, she had to tell him about itter anyway. Since he had seen it now, it was nothing. Qiao Mu was about to speak when she saw Li Yan turn around to look at her. His expression was gloomy and uncertain, and his malicious eyes emitted a cold light that seemed to be burning as he red at her. Tell me, what is this? Qiao Mu was stunned. This is just a contract. I was just about to tell you, but today You signed this contract?! Li Yan questioned coldly. He sounded as if he knew about this contract beforehand. Shouldnt he be happy for her to sign such a contract? Why was he reacting like this? It was as if she had done something unforgivable to make him so angry. Qiao Mu nodded nkly. In the next second, she saw Li Yan swing his arm and throw the contract to the ground. The stack of papers that was not secured was thrown everywhere.
Qiao Mu looked at him in astonishment. What are you doing? I also want to ask, what do you want to do? Qiao Mu, are my words all nonsense? Was everything you said to me a lie? You promised me that you wouldnt leave me, but you signed this contract behind my back. Do you think that two years is nothing to us, or do you not take it seriously at all? The anger that Li Yan had been suppressing for the entire day instantly erupted when he saw Qiao Mu nod. He was so angry that he lost control of his words. He just wanted to know what position this woman ced him in! Qiao Mu was stunned by Li Yans enraged reaction. Two years? How did he know that they were going to be separated for two years? Besides, even if they signed the contract, there was no need to be separated for two years! But he Qiao Mu suddenly came to her senses. She had been keeping the contract in her bag for the past two days. When she took it out this morning to look at it, she realized that it seemed to have been scratched out of shape. He didnt pay much attention to it at that time. Recalling Li Yans sudden cold attitudest night, Qiao Mu finally understood. It turned out that Li Yan had seen this contractst night! Qiao Mu hurriedly took a step forward. Uncle, dont be angry. I never wanted to separate from you, I
Li Yan lost control and interrupted Qiao Mu. You dont want to separate from me? At this time, you still want to hide it from me? Qiao Mu, do you always put your career first in your heart, and I wont change your mind no matter what I say? Li Yans words stabbed Qiao Mu deeply, and she felt her heart ache. How could he think of her like that! [Its just a small misunderstanding. I wont torture you. I wont separate you.] Chapter 825: I Don’t Want To Talk To You Anymore Chapter 825: I Dont Want To Talk To You Anymore
She finally thought of a way to satisfy both sides. After signing the contract, she wanted to give him a surprise, but she did not get his praise and was misunderstood by him! Was he really that unbearable in her heart? Qiao Mu took a deep breath. Do you think that my career is more important than you in my heart? Do you think I chose to go abroad for two years without considering your feelings and acted first before reporting? Isnt it? Didnt you sign this contract yourself? Thats right, I signed it! Qiao Mu raised her chin and looked straight at him. Li Yan, do you have no confidence in yourself or me? What makes you so sure that I left behind your back for two years? Li Yan pursed his lips and stared at her confident face. He said coldly, So, I misunderstood you?
Qiao Mu gritted her teeth and said in a fit of pique, Theres no misunderstanding. Im just like what you said. Your career is so much worse than mine. For the sake of my career, I dont care about your feelings. Thats just how I am! Qiao Mu! Li Yan roared. What are you shouting for? Im not deaf! Qiao Mu retorted angrily. Did he think that she would exin herself to him just because he was so fierce? He was the one who had indiscriminately determined that she did not value him, so he should just think so! Li Yan was so angry that his face turned ashen. Cancel this contract. I wont allow you to leave! Weve already signed the contract. Dont even think about it! Are you deliberately trying to anger me to death? Youll be angered to death by me! Qiao Mu refused to give in. She squatted down to pick up the messy contracts on the floor, feeling extremely aggrieved. The feeling of being misunderstood by him was not good at all, but she just did not want to exin it to him! Li Yan grabbed Qiao Mus arm and pulled her up. He did not allow her to pick up the contract, but Qiao Mu insisted on going against him. She pushed him away and bent down to pick it up again.
One of them went to pick it up, while the other stopped her. After going back and forth for a while, Li Yan was so angry that he snatched the contract from her hand and tore it up in a fit of anger! Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock. She wanted to snatch it away, but it was already toote. She could only watch helplessly as he tore the paper in half and threw it on the ground. In an instant, Qiao Mus anger surged and she pushed Li Yan away forcefully. You bastard! Youre unreasonable! Go away! I dont want to talk to you anymore! Go away! Li Yan was pushed by her, but his body did not move. Qiao Mu, youre the one in the wrong. Hearing his domineering words, Qiao Mu was furious. She used both her hands and feet to kick him, kick him, and hit him. Finally, she said, I dont want to talk to you anymore! Li Yans face was dark and his brows were tightly knitted. He grabbed her hand that was waving wildly. Say that again? Ill say it ten or a hundred times. I dont want to talk to you anymore! You go! I dont want to see you! Li Yans body seemed to be covered in ayer of cold air, and the surrounding temperature was pulled down by him. The anger and coldness hidden within made Qiao Mus body feel cold from the outside to the inside. It had been a long time since she had seen this man so angry. She had long been used to his gentleness and his love. She was very ufortable when he suddenly became so scary. He was really angry, but she was also very angry! He was reasonable, but was she not?
She was misunderstood by him, and he didnt allow her to be angry! Li Yans eyes darkened as he looked at the woman in front of him. After a while, he finally let go of her and turned to leave. Chapter 826: Don’t Come Back Once You’re Gone Chapter 826: Dont Come Back Once Youre Gone
Qiao Mu watched Li Yan turn around in astonishment. He suddenly let go of her hand, which was originally held by him, and it remained in midair without moving. When the man turned around, his back was straight and there was a hint of anger and unnoticeable loneliness. Qiao Mu reacted and subconsciously reached out to grab him, but she grabbed nothing. The man tookrge strides and disappeared from her sight in an instant. Qiao Mu only snapped out of her daze when she heard the sound of the door closing. Li Yan had already left! He left just like that?
Did he really leave without a word? Qiao Mu immediately ran out, but before she could reach the door, she abruptly stopped! If he wanted to leave, she wouldnt stop him! She did not do anything wrong in the first ce. She was confident and did not feel guilty at all! However, how could he leave just like that! In an instant, Qiao Mu felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry. That immense resentment continued to devour her. She squatted on the spot and felt wronged for a while before returning to the dining room without looking back. Sit down and eat! Qiao Mu had made braised chicken wings for dinner. She had been staring at them in the kitchen for half an hour before she could make them look so good. She was worried that they would be like the ones Madam Yu had madest time, so overcooked that the true appearance of the chicken wings could not be seen. She was looking forward to cooking and wanted to share her joy with him, but he was the one who did it! Qiao Mu angrily picked up her chopsticks to pick up the chicken wings. The chicken wing was very slippery. As soon as he picked it up, it fell back into the te. He picked it up again and again. Finally, after a while, he picked it up and put it to his mouth. Before he could take a bite, it fell again.
She threw down her chopsticks angrily, grabbed the chicken wing with her hand, and put it into her mouth. It tasted salty when it entered her mouth. Qiao Mu was unmoved and continued eating, but the more she ate, the more salty it became. It was so salty that her throat felt ufortable, her nose felt sour, and her vision blurred. After a long while, Qiao Mus suppressed emotions finally erupted. She threw the chicken wing in her hand forcefully in the direction of the door and roared, Li Yan, you bastard. If you leave, donte back! I will never forgive you again! After she shouted this, Qiao Mu was like a deted balloon as sheid on the table and sobbed. The butler at the side silently watched Qiao Mu sob softly. After a long while, he saw Qiao Mu finally raise her head, rubbed her eyes, and stopped crying. Although the butler did not understand what misunderstanding the two of them had, he could not help but step forward. Miss Qiao, dont be angry with Young Master. Young Master just cares about you too much. Just apologize to him. Why? Qiao Mu asked hoarsely. Hes too unreasonable. He misunderstood me without asking clearly. If he wants to misunderstand me, then let him misunderstand! She was not going to exin to him. She wanted to see how long he could misunderstand her! If he didnt change his unreasonable temper this time, wouldnt she die of grievances if he med her wrongly for a small misunderstanding in the future? The butler sighed. This person was also stubborn. Could it be that he was waiting for the young master to take the initiative to apologize to him? Anyway, the butler did not have much confidence in this. After all, with Li Yans temper, the possibility of him admitting his mistake was almost zero.
In the courtyard of the vi, Li Yan did not leave after he walked out of the house. He stood in the courtyard for a long time, waiting for the woman to chase after him and beg for her forgiveness. However, there was no movement in the house. The woman did not appear at all! Chapter 827: A Frustration Never Before Seen Chapter 827: A Frustration Never Before Seen
Li Yans entire body seemed to be engulfed by a storm as he drove away from the vi. The car sped far away in one breath. The anger in his heart could not be suppressed, and he suddenly stepped on the brakes. His heart was suffocating. He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. He took out a box of cigarettes from the car, put it to his mouth, and lit it up with a lighter. He took a deep puff of the cigarette. The smell of tobo filled his entire respiratory tract, but it still did not suppress his irritation. That woman was unrepentant! She did such a thing behind his back without discussing it with him in advance. After he found out, she still dared to confront him so confidently!
She had never felt such a sense of defeat before, but she was helpless against it! Just now, he was indeed too impulsive and did not have the rationality to talk to her. After he found out that she had signed the contract, he hadpletely lost control. The feeling of not being valued almost swallowed him up. Actually, thinking about it carefully, what made him even angrier was that she hid this matter from him and acted first before reporting it to him. If she could tell him that she wanted to study abroadHe still wouldnt agree! Even if he didnt agree, he wouldnt be so angry! And the words he said to her that morning, she didnt listen at all! At this moment, Li Yan realized that he really had no confidence in Qiao Mu. He had never been so uncertain about something. He wasnt sure where he stood in her heart. Because he wasnt sure, he was so angry when he found out about this! Li Yan took a deep breath, took out his phone, and dialed a number. He said coldly, Come to Glory of the Dark Night and drink with me.
On the other end of the phone, Ling Xi was stunned for a moment. He was sure that the caller was Li Yan and that the voice was indeed Li Yan. But why did he ask him to go to a ce like the Glorious Dark Night with such a bad tone? At this time, Young Master Li should be at home apanying his little nephew! But she wanted him to drink with her? After the appraisal, the rtionship between Big Brother and Sister-inw was in danger! At that moment, Ling Xi was having dinner with Ye Nuan. This was the first time the two of them had asked each other out for a meal since they had confirmed their rtionship as a virtual couple. Today, Ling Xi was bored and had no one to apany him, so he thought of Ye Nuan. However, after the meal, Ye Nuan didnt say much and just ate with her head lowered, as if he didnt exist. Just as they finished their meal, they received a call from Li Yan. Ling Xi hung up the phone and nced at Ye Nuan. I have something to doter. You can go home by yourself. Oh. Ye Nuan replied lightly and stood up with her bag. Ling Xi was very dissatisfied with this attitude. Usually, when he ate with women, they would want to stick to him and follow him home. However, this woman did not have any nostalgia for him. Walking out of the dining room, Ling Xi was still sulking when he heard Ye Nuan call out to him, Young Master Ling.
Ling Xi looked up coldly and thought to herself, This woman is indeed pretending to be reserved. She actually wants me to send her home. However, what Ye Nuan asked was, Young Master Ling, do you have any connections to the Paris fashion show? I want to be a model for Paris Fashion Week. Ling Xi was speechless. This woman was begging him for help the moment she opened her mouth! No! Ling Xi replied angrily. Ye Nuan frowned. But our rtionship is built on the basis of using each other. If you cant let me use you, then why should I be with you? At least my ex-boyfriend can help me with small things like this. Chapter 828: Big Brother Was Dumped By Sister-in-law Chapter 828: Big Brother Was Dumped By Sister-inw
One sentence hurt Ling Xis dignity. He red at her coldly. Are youparing me to that pretty boy? But the facts have proven that you cant evenpare to a gigolo. Ye Nuan was actually trying to provoke him. She knew that with Ling Xis ability, it would only take a few words for him to help her. He didnt want to help her, so she decided to provoke him. As expected, Ling Xi was indeed agitated. He pulled her into the car and said as they walked,Wait for my news. Get in the car now. Ill send you home!
Ye Nuan shook him off. No need, I can go home by myself. I said Ill send you! Do you think Im like that pretty boy, only responsible for bringing you out and not sending you back? Im not that irresponsible. Ling Xi spoke in a serious tone, as if he wasnt the one who told Ye Nuan to go home by herself. Ye Nuan was about to reject him again when Ling Xi red at her. Dont make me repeat myself. Get in the car! Ye Nuan raised her finger and pointed at the neighborhood opposite. Young Master Ling, I live there. Its just across the road. Ling Xi was speechless. He seemed to have given it to herst time! However, he had forgotten! No wonder this woman chose to eat here. It was because it was close to her house! Then, Ling Xi waved his hand and left angrily. His big brother really understood him. At this time, he really needed alcohol to vent his anger! When Ling Xi arrived at Glory of the Dark Night, Li Yan was already in the private room. The whiskey on the table was half gone. Ling Xi was dumbfounded. How could he force himself to drink like this?
After sitting down, Ling Xi downed a ss of wine and said, Big Brother, you were dumped by my sister-inw? As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yans cold gaze swept over him like a knife. Ling Xi was sure that he had really been dumped. Li Yan downed another ss of wine and felt his stomach burning. He wanted to use the alcohol to extinguish his anger, but the more he drank, the stronger the fire became. After a while, Lu Jingzhi arrived. Ling Xi looked at Lu Jingzhi. Why are you here? He was socializing at the side and came over after he finished. Whats wrong with Big Brother? Lu Jingzhi asked softly. Im heartbroken. Ling Xi replied softly. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. It looked like she had indeed fallen out of love. At this moment, Li Yan ced the empty wine ss heavily on the coffee table. Then, he stood up and walked out with his tall body. Brother, where are you going? Lu Jingzhi asked. Go home! Lu Jingzhi was speechless. He had just sat down and this old man was about to leave?
Ling Xi said worriedly, Big Brother, you should sleep in the hotel for the night. If you go back like this, dont be so angry that you might beat up your husband. Lu Jingzhi rolled his eyes at Ling Xi. Is Big Brother the kind of person who would hit a woman? If you want to do it, you have to do it under the nket. Ling Xi gave a sly smile. Then its better to use more hands to improve our rtionship. Ling Xi, who was already at the door, heard the two people behind him making fun of him. He stopped in his tracks. Its been so many years since Iveid a hand on you guys. Do you miss it? He nced at Ling Xi and Lu Jingzhi, and the two of them stoppedughing. Then, Li Yan added, The two of you dont even have a woman who wants to hit you. How dare you talk about someone elses rtionship? Hurry up and go home to sleep! After saying that, he left like the wind. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Ling Xi was speechless. This was a tant humiliation! Who said they didnt have women!
Chapter 829: Xiaxia, Are You At A Wild Man’s Home? Chapter 829: Xiaxia, Are You At A Wild Mans Home?
Qiao Mus resentment persisted for the entire night as she waited for Li Yan to return home minute by minute. It was too boring to be alone, so she called Chi Xia to express her feelings and vent all her grievances. Listening to Chi Xias soft words offort and the background music of the television, Qiao Mu asked in puzzlement, Xiaxia, where are you? There was no television in the dormitory. Even if theputer was turned on, it was not allowed to watch videos openly at this time, right? Im outside, Chi Xia replied vaguely. Where is outside? At the hotel? Or a wild mans house? Xiaxia, youve been so secretivetely. Dont tell me you have a target? Let me guess, Su Chen?
This was the only person Qiao Mu could think of. However, these two people were still in a state of cold war previously. Why were they together again now? On the other end of the phone, Chi Xia coughed lightly and nced at the man who was watching TV on the sofa. She continued to reply vaguely, Youre thinking too much. Can I take your answer as a tacit agreement? Are you guys back together? What? Dont make wild guesses. Theres no reconciliation. It has nothing to do with him in the first ce. Chi Xia said softly. Seeing that the man beside her didnt respond, she continued to talk to Qiao Mu. Su Chens eyes were glued to the television, but his ears were listening to Chi Xias words. It has nothing to do with him. This was obviously referring to him! Although he was very concerned, he did not show it on his face. My throat is itchy. Go wash a pear for me, he said. Chi Xia was speechless. These words clearly reached Qiao Mus ears. Immediately after, Qiao Mu chuckled. I understand. You dont have to exin.
Chi Xia was speechless. She felt that this man was doing it on purpose. However, the next second, he coughed dryly. His throat was indeed ufortable and it did not seem like he was doing it on purpose. Qiao Mu said very considerately, Alright, go wash the pears. I wont disturb you. Sigh, no one washed pears for me. Chi Xia hung up the phone helplessly and went to the kitchen to wash a pear before sending it to Su Chen. Su Chen took the pear and took a bite. He nced at Chi Xiazily. Why? Are you afraid that others will find out about our rtionship? We didnt sign a confidentiality agreement. Chi Xia was speechless. What was her rtionship with him? His words were very ambiguous, alright? Chi Xia turned around and walked towards the bedroom, saying, Im going to sleep. Help yourself. Su Chen took another bite of the pear and looked at Chi Xias back. His cold eyes became warmer. Even if this woman did not have him in her heart, it was not bad to be able to maintain this state. After Qiao Mu hung up the phone, she heard the sound of a car engine outside the courtyard. She immediately put down her phone, turned off the lights in the room, and covered herself with the nket, pretending to be asleep. He was finally willing toe back! Soon, she heard the door open. Slowly, footsteps came up the stairs to the corridor. Then, they approached and stopped at the bedroom door. Qiao Mu thought about what she should say to himter. Actually, she was too impulsive and irrational. If this stalemate continued, it would not be good for anyone.
They were going to separate soon, and she couldnt bear to continue the cold war with him. The room door was pushed open, and the light from outside shone into the room. Qiao Mu had her back to the door as she quietly listened to the sound. However, the man standing at the door did note in. He just stood there motionless. If he didnte in, why was he standing at the door? Waiting for her to get up and pounce on him? Chapter 830: I Really Want To Beat Her Up Chapter 830: I Really Want To Beat Her Up
Outside the door, Li Yan quietly looked at the bulge under the nket. This woman actually slept without waiting for him! He really wanted to rush over and beat her up! After a while, he took a step back, closed the door, and left the room. Qiao Mu only turned her head abruptly when the door closed, but the man was already nowhere to be seen. Li Yan left! Immediately after, the door to the bedroom next door opened and closed. Qiao Mu was so angry that she jumped out of bed. He was actually sleeping in the guest room!
So, he was tantly ignoring her! In an instant, Qiao Mu copsed onto the bed like a deted balloon. She was originally filled with hope that Li Yan would lower his head to her when he returned and coax her so that she could exin this matter to him clearly. She told him that she would never leave him. However, what she got was Li Yans cold shoulder. If they wanted to have a cold war, then they would have to have a cold war to the end! That night, the two of them slept in separate rooms, each with their own thoughts. The next morning, Li Yan disappeared again. The butler said that Li Yan had a lot of things to do in thepany these past two days and was not avoiding her, but Qiao Mu did not believe him. He clearly misunderstood her and did not want to see her. In fact, Li Yan was really busy. Qiao Jiannan had proposed to merge the Qiao Corporation into the Li Corporation a long time ago. It was not easy to acquire arge enterprise. The internal affairs of the Qiao Corporation were very chaotic, and Li Yan had been dealing with it. After preparing for so long, it was finallying to an end. It just so happened that he was quite busy during this period. Li Yan had a meeting with a few higher-ups of the Qiao Corporation early in the morning. Throughout the meeting, Li Yan maintained a cold expression. After the meeting ended, the higher-ups left one after another. Qiao Jiannan asked Li Yan, Does Mu Mu know that the Li Corporation wants to acquire the Qiao Corporation? Li Yan retracted his coldness and said indifferently, I didnt tell her. I usually dont tell her about work. I dont think shes interested in these things.
I heard from Mumu that shes going to Paris to attend the Fashion Week in the next two days. When shees back, bring her home for a meal. Ill transfer part of the Qiao Corporations shares to her. Li Yan looked at Qiao Jiannan. It seemed like Qiao Jiannan really treated Qiao Mu like his own daughter by giving thepany shares to a daughter who was not rted to him by blood. He nodded and said,Okay. Speaking of Qiao Mus trip to Paris, she should be leaving tomorrow. Li Yan knew that Qiao Mu was only going to attend the Fashion Week this time, and the duration was one month. He had read the contract and knew that she would have to wait until the beginning of next year to study abroad. That night, Li Yan had dinner with a client outside and ended veryte. Qiao Mu didnt send a single message or call him the entire day. Usually, this little woman would send him a WeChat message to harass him. It was either a joke that she thought was especially funny or something trivial, such as reporting what she was doing or taking a few photos for him to see. He would read every message she sent seriously. Sometimes, the messages were too boring. When he was busy, he would be toozy to reply. The little woman did not mind and sent her messages by herself. Unknowingly, it had be a habit. After not receiving any messages from Qiao Mu for two consecutive days, Li Yan could feel that his phone was very lonely. He sat in the car and called home. The housekeeper answered the call. After Li Yan asked, he found out that Qiao Mu did note home that night! This woman! He was a little too arrogant!
He didnt treat her coldly to give her a chance to be arrogant. He wanted her to reflect on herself and apologize to him! She was going to Paris the next day, but she did not feel any regret tonight. Li Yans anger surged. It seemed that he really spoiled her too much! Chapter 831: I’m About to Get Lovelorn Chapter 831: Im About to Get Lovelorn
At this moment, Qiao Mu and Chi Xia were still drinking and chatting with their precious daughter in Glory of the Dark Night to celebrate Qiao Mus send-off. In the private room, Baby Guan was singing at the top of her lungs while Qiao Mu elegantly raised her ss of red wine. The ss was half-filled with wine, and it was obvious that she was enjoying life. However, she raised her head and downed the red wine in her ss in the next second, ruining her image. Baby Guan threw away the microphone and moved closer to Qiao Mu. Mumu, what triggered you? Im about to be heartbroken. Baby Guan was speechless. Chi Xiaughed. Isnt it just a misunderstanding? Just exin it clearly!
This isnt as simple as a misunderstanding. He actually ignored me for two days, two days, 48 hours. He didnt say a word to me and even looked very arrogant. He misunderstood me, and now hes in the right? Baby Guan gloated. I thought you and your dear uncle would never quarrel. But youre right. When you quarrel, the man should lower his head first. Lu Jingzhi and I have always been the ones who admit our mistakes. Baby Guan felt that she had said something wrong. Qiao Mu and Chi Xia looked at Baby Guan with bright eyes. When did you and Lu Jingzhi be a couple? Didnt you say that you were innocent before? CoughHes a male friend. As a pure male friend, hes always the first to lower his head. Baby Guan quickly exined. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Ive never seen the two of you being so pretentious. If you like her, then so be it. Why are you still being coy? Look at me As she spoke, Qiao Mu burped and changed the topic. Do you think Im too proactive and obedient, so he doesnt value me anymore? Chi Xia shook her head helplessly. Theres nothing we can do. We cant help you. Qiao Mu snorted and put down her wine ss before leaving the room to go to the bathroom. Chi Xia asked her if she neededpany, but she waved her hand and refused. She was sober and not drunk at all. She was just angry that Li Yan had ignored her. She felt so wronged. He was usually so good to her, but when he was angry, he could be so heartless! Men were really unpredictable creatures!
Qiao Mu was walking down the corridor from the bathroom when she suddenly bumped into a man walking toward her. She felt ufortable and subconsciously took two steps back, turning around to hide. However, a voice came from behind. Little beauty, we meet again. Qiao Mu felt extremely unlucky. Why did she bump into Murong Chao at this time?! The scene outside the school gatest time was still vivid in her mind. Thinking back, she felt a lingering fear. This man was not a good person. She could not handle him. Qiao Mu pretended not to hear him and walked forward with her head lowered. However, in the next second, a tall figure blocked her way. She quickly turned around and walked to the other side. Just as she turned around, she saw that the path behind her was blocked by Murong Chaos men. Qiao Mu tensed up and red at Murong Chao. What are you doing? Want to kidnap again? There are surveince cameras here. Our Imperial Capital will not tolerate people like you who vite thew. Dont do anything rash! Murong Chao smiled. Little girl, how did I break thew? Is it illegal for a couple to do something they like? Boyfriend and girlfriendWho was his girlfriend! The man who was watching from the side whistled. Boss, this girl is different from the type you used to like. She looks like she hasnt developed yet. Qiao Mus expression turned ugly. Murong Chao red at the men. Wait for me in the private room. Ill catch up with your sister-inw.
Qiao Mu was speechless. Chapter 832: I Will Definitely Kill You Chapter 832: I Will Definitely Kill You
Only Qiao Mu and Murong Chao were left in the corridor. Qiao Mu turned around and ran, but Murong Chao pulled her back. Qiao Mu looked at Murong Chao warily. Big Brother, I have a boyfriend. Dont waste your time here. Of course you have a boyfriend. Your boyfriend is me. I let you offst time, but this time, you appeared under my nose. How can there be such a coincidence? You knew I wasing, so you used this method to attract my attention, right? Murong Chao said narcissistically. Qiao Mu truly had no strength to retort, so she rolled her eyes fiercely. Im sorry, I only like Eastern men. Im not interested in mixed-blood men like you. My man is god knows how many times more handsome than you. Is that so? Murong Chao curled his lips and held Qiao Mus chin. It seems like he has good taste like me. If I sleep with you, he definitely wont want you anymore, and youll be mine.
Qiao Mu widened her eyes in horror. He actually said it so directly and crudely! Looking at Murong Chaos serious yet yful expression, he felt his scalp go numb. Dirty! She took the opportunity to kick at Murong Chaos spot. It was both ruthless and urate, but unfortunately, it was dodged! Murong Chao grabbed Qiao Mus leg and said with interest, It seems like youre very interested in my brother. Dont worry, Ill give you a chance now. Qiao Mu was truly panicking. Before she could react, Murong Chao dragged her to the elevator. As they walked, he said, Dont worry. This time, it wont be as unreasonable as thest time. At least Ill give you a bed. Murong Chao! Dont do anything rash! If you ruin my innocence, I will definitely kill you! After Qiao Mu said those harsh words, she red fiercely at the other party. Murong Chao stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes at Qiao Mu. A hint of viciousness appeared on his innocent face. He had originally thought that it was just a rabbit, but now it seemed that it had the potential to be a little wild wolf. Murong Chaos interest instantly intensified. He released Qiao Mus hand and looked at her with his arms crossed. I suddenly changed my mind. Qiao Mu took a step back, not knowing what this man wanted to do again. Then, Murong Chao said, Ive decided to make you fall in love with me and be my woman willingly. Qiao Mu was speechless.
Where did his confidencee from? Fortunately, he didnt use violence on her anymore, so Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to seize the opportunity to leave, she saw Murong Chao approach her and push her against the wall. He ced a hand beside her head and dispelled her thoughts of escaping. In order to make you fall in love with me sooner, Ive decided that from now on, youll be inseparable from me. Qiao Mus hopes that had just risen were instantly dashed. Just as she was in despair, she vaguely heard a conversationing from around the corner. Qiao Mu turned around and saw Li Yan, Lu Jingzhi, and Su Chen walking over. Li Yan had found out Qiao Mus whereabouts beforehand and was prepared to arrest her. However, when she suddenly saw Murong Chao and Qiao Mu being intimate in the corridor, her face instantly turned ashen. Qiao Mu eximed, My man is here! Murong Chao was stunned. He looked in the direction Qiao Mu was pointing at and saw three men. He let go of Qiao Mu with a smile. Which one of these three is your man? Qiao Mu took the opportunity to escape and ran straight for Li Yan. She said arrogantly to Murong Chao, Did you see that? Hes much more handsome than you! As she spoke, she hugged Li Yans waist. Hubby, youre here. I was almost bullied by bad people!
Chapter 833: Mistaken Husband
Li Yan lowered his gaze and looked at Qiao Mu without batting an eyelid. He wondered what this little woman was up to again. Murong Chao raised his eyebrows in disbelief. Boss Li, is this your wife? Does your fiance know that you have a wife outside? Immediately after, without waiting for Li Yan to speak, Qiao Mu immediately released him and innocently said, Ah, I got the wrong person. You look too much like my husband, but my husband is a little more handsome than you. Hehehe. Lu Jingzhi understood that Murong Chao should not know about Li Yan and Qiao Mus rtionship. He took the opportunity to tease him. Even your husband can admit his mistake? Is there something wrong with his brain? Qiao Mu secretly red at Lu Jingzhi andughed dryly. She turned around and nced at Murong Chao. You guys continue. Ill be leaving first. After saying that, he ran away.
Murong Chao wanted to chase after him, but Li Yan said calmly, Mister Murong, I heard that there was a big mistake in the goods you transported in my territory. You still have the mood to chase after a woman at this time. Youre really broad-minded. Murong Chao watched as Qiao Mus figure disappeared and stopped chasing after her. He looked at Li Yan and said, I really didnt expect that Boss Li, who never allowed women to get close to him, would let a woman take advantage of him just now, and you let her escape just like that? My woman, I havent even hugged her and shes already throwing herself at you. How can I have the mood to care about anything else? Li Yans face darkened as he red at Murong Chao with his dark eyes. Your woman? Dont you feel ashamed to say such things? That woman just now said that she has a husband. Its just a quarrel between lovers. Boss Li and your fiance must have had the same experience, right? Murong Chao did not connect Qiao Mu to Li Yan. After all, Li Yans fiance had been exposed before, and the news was quickly cleaned up afterward. It was obvious that Li Yan did not want this news to be exposed. Thus, even though Li Yan had appeared during the two meetings he had with Qiao Mu and indirectly helped Qiao Mu out of her predicament, Murong Chao did not think too much about it. Su Chen could feel the anger hidden under Li Yans expressionless face. He spoke at the right time, Boss Murong, how long will you be staying with us? Not long, about a month. I gained quite a lot this time. I got a woman. Su Chen smiled. The women here are not so easy to get. Murong Chao thought of Qiao Mus face and nodded. Thats true, but Ill try my best. You three, go ahead and enjoy yourselves. Ill take my leave first. After Murong Chao left, Su Chen looked at Li Yan. Big Brother, Murong Chao has his eyes on Qiao Mu, and hes going to stay here for another month. Im afraid Qiao Mu will be in grave danger. Li Yan entered the private room and said in a deep voice, Qiao Mu will be going to Paris for a month tomorrow. She can avoid Murong Chao. As long as Murong Chao finishes his business and leaves within this month, itll be fine.
Actually, it was not a bad thing for Qiao Mu to leave at this time. At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open and a tall woman walked in. When she saw Li Yan in the room, she said in surprise, Young Master Li, what a coincidence. We meet again. It was Ji Lan. When she saw Ao Li Yan enter the private room, she came over excitedly to greet him. She did not care about the fact that she had bumped into Li Yan previously and would not let go of any opportunity to get close to him. When he saw a woman enter, Lu Jingzhi said coldly, Get out, who let you in? Ji Lan stood at the door pitifully and looked at Li Yan longingly. Young Master Li, dont you feel bored drinking alone? Can I apany you? Chapter 834: Can We Have a Good Talk? Chapter 834: Can We Have a Good Talk?
Lu Jingzhi felt that Ji Lan was courting death. Was it not enough for her to have two scandals with Li Yan? She was simply tired of living. The others stopped talking. Just as they were waiting for Li Yan to express his stance, Li Yan looked at Ji Lan with a cold gaze. Come in. Come in, please? The others had always thought that there was something wrong with their ears. Even Ji Lan herself could not believe it. She was just here to try her luck, but she did not expect to really get a response from Li Yan! Li Yan stood up and nced at Ji Lan. Sit here and shut your mouth. I dont want to hear anything.
Ji Lan hurriedly nodded. He was so excited that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He could not believe it. Li Yan got up and went to y cards. He wanted to wait for Qiao Mu to finish. After all, Murong Chao was still here. He could not get too close to her, nor could he allow her to be bullied. The three people at the side were originally surprised, but they were not fools. They quickly understood what was going on. It turned out that Big Brother was trying to confuse the public and affect others attention. In another private room, Qiao Mu was scared out of her wits. She drank wine to calm herself down, but fortunately, Li Yan appeared in time. Li Yan must have been very unhappy when he saw Murong Chao ying kabedon with her just now, right? Thinking about the mans expression, it was indeed very bad. Qiao Mu was tired from the cold war. When two people quarreled, one of them had to lower his head first. In the past, Li Yan had lowered his head to her many times. This time, she did not want to continue the stalemate. After all, they would be separated for a month after tomorrow. Qiao Mu felt that she was being too childish, so she finally couldnt hold it in any longer and decided to send Li Yan a message. Qiao Mu sorted out her thoughts and sent the message. Uncle, the contract is just a misunderstanding. I wont go to Paris. Ive already fought to stay. Well meet at the door in ten minutes. At this moment, Li Yan and the others were ying cards in Li Yans private room while Ji Lan sat on the sofa obediently without moving.
Suddenly, the screen of her phone on the coffee table lit up. She saw that the person ying cards was not paying attention to her, so she secretly picked up her phone and opened WeChat. The senders note was Little Thing and when Ji Lan saw the words Little Uncle, she knew who the sender was! Qiao Mu! The Qiao Mu who had embarrassed her, the Qiao Mu who had gotten Li Yans attention! The nickname was actually little thing. These three words were so intimate that Ji Lan became crazily jealous. Looking at the content of the message, Ji Lan curled her lips sinisterly and replied to Li Yans message. Then, she deleted the two chat records from before. Destroy the corpse! After Qiao Mu sent the message, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that torturing him was also torturing herself. This feeling was really ufortable. She did not want to argue with him for another day. At this moment, he realized that it was no longer important who admitted their mistake first. She just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding before she left. After a while, her phone rang. Qiao Mu opened the message and stood up, preparing to wait for Li Yan at the entrance. However, when he saw the line of words on the dialog box, his face instantly turned pale.
Theres nothing to talk about, Li Yan said. Dont think too highly of yourself. Wherever you want to go has nothing to do with me. Qiao Mu felt her legs go weak, and she fell back onto the sofa. She finally wanted to lower her head to him, but in return, he replied like this! Qiao Mu immediately made the call, but the call was hung up the moment it rang. [Todays update is over. I repeat, I wont torture you, I definitely wont torture you! However, if you want to torture me, I can satisfy you [evil smile]] Chapter 835: Deepen the Misunderstanding Chapter 835: Deepen the Misunderstanding
Qiao Mus face was extremely pale as she stared nkly at the chat log. Dont take yourself too seriouslyWhere you want to go has nothing to do with me. So, he allowed her to study in Paris? Why would her uncle say such heartless words to him? These few days, even though they had a cold war, she never thought that Li Yan would really hate her. In the past, she had hoped to study abroad and had spent a lot of effort to get an exchange student.
If he wasnt here, she would definitely agree to study abroad without hesitation. However, she had thought of a way to stay and finally found a way to satisfy both sides. She wanted to give him a surprise, but in return, he was angry. She was angry and had a cold war with him because she felt wronged. She had clearly said that she would not leave him, but because he had seen the contract and did not ask what was going on, he misunderstood her immediately and did not believe her choice. Who would be able to calmly talk to him in that kind of situation? However, she never expected that everything would go beyond her expectations. Chi Xia and Baby Guan suddenly realized that something was wrong with Qiao Mu. Her face was as pale as a sheet, and she was clutching her phone tightly. She looked very scary. Mu Mu, whats wrong? Chi Xia asked hurriedly. Baby Guan was also anxious. You really look like youve fallen out of love. Dont scare us! Qiao Mus emotions exploded when she heard the word heartbroken. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her lip tightly to prevent her tears from falling. She stood up. Im going back. Chi Xia and Baby Guan didnt say anything else and quietly left with Qiao Mu. Chi Xia was staying at Su Chens ce, and Baby Guan was staying at Lu Jingzhis ce. These two ces were smooth sailing, but the Li family vi was headed in the other direction.
Chi Xia was worried about Qiao Mu and wanted to send Qiao Mu off, but Qiao Mu rejected her. Qiao Mu, who was originally sad and lonely, became nonchnt again. The more she acted like this, the more worried she became. Qiao Mu was in a taxi. When Chi Xia heard that Qiao Mu had asked the driver to return to T Universitys dormitory, she felt that something was amiss. After all, even though Qiao Mu and Li Yan had quarreled for the past two days, they were still living together. Yet, Qiao Mu was going back to the dormitory now. Chi Xia thought about it and called Su Chen. Su Chen was ying cards when he saw that it was Chi Xia. He squinted his eyes and answered the call as if nothing had happened. Young Master Su, where are you now? Chi Xia asked in a low voice. Outside. Su Chens tone was calm. Chi Xia had asked him for a night off to send Qiao Mu off. Since Qiao Mu was here, Chi Xia was naturally here as well. She called him at this time. Could it be that she was here to ask about his schedule? The joy in her heart did notst for more than two seconds before Chi Xia continued, Young Master Su, I just separated from Mumu. Mumu doesnt seem to be in a good mood. Can you contact Young Master Li? Su Chen frowned. This woman called him because of someone else. Where are you? he asked coldly. I just finished here and was about to take a taxi back. Chi Xia didnt know that Su Chen was here.
Wait there, dont go! Su Chen put down the phone and looked at Li Yan. Big Brother, Qiao Mu has left. Li Yan furrowed his brows. He thought that Qiao Mu would contact him after they met and left, but she actually left without a word! Li Yan stood up with a cold face. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and left with the phone on the coffee table. Chapter 836: You Want to Send Her Overseas for Two Years? Chapter 836: You Want to Send Her Overseas for Two Years?
Ji Lan sat on the sofa without moving. She was looking forward to Li Yan asking her to apany him tonight after he was done. However, Li Yan suddenly stood up and left. Just as Ji Lan called out to him, Li Yans figure disappeared at the door. Then, the men in the room left one by one. Ji Lan stomped her foot in anger. However, she was wearing high heels and identally sprained her ankle. She really wanted to die. However, when she thought of the good deed she had done earlier, her mood instantly brightened up. She wanted to see how long Qiao Mu could be arrogant for. Outside the Glorious Dark Night, Chi Xia followed Su Chens instructions and waited on the spot.
Soon, she saw Su Chen walking out of the Glorious Dark Night. She was stunned. So Su Chen was here too. Li Yan walked up to Chi Xia and asked in a deep voice, Wheres Qiao Mu? Mumu went back to the dormitory. She just took a taxi. The license te number is Chi Xia was prepared and remembered everything clearly, so she told Li Yan everything. As soon as Chi Xia finished speaking, Li Yan got into the car like a gust of wind and chased after Qiao Mu. Chi Xia looked at Su Chen. Su Chens expression was calm as he walked towards the car. After taking two steps, he saw Chi Xia standing still and looked at her impatiently. Youre not getting in the car. Do you want to be a doorman? Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia waved goodbye to Baby Guan and left with Su Chen. Lu Jingzhi saw that Baby Guans face was flushed red. It was obvious that she had drunk a lot. He frowned and went forward. You didnt tell me that you were drinking tonight. Arent you afraid of Aiya, I feel dizzy. Before Lu Jingzhi could finish, Baby Guan held her forehead and her body swayed as she fell to the side. Lu Jingzhi quickly stepped forward and caught her body. Just as he was about to scold her, he heard Baby Guan say weakly, I drank too much. Hurry up and get the car. I want to go back to sleep. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. He became her chauffeur?
When he came out just now, this woman was still very sober. Now, she was drunk? Baby Guanughed coldly in her heart. She really didnt want to hear him lecture her with his mouth open and his mouth shut. She had many ways to make him shut up! The group of people left, leaving Ling Xi alone. Ling Xi had no choice but to go home and sleep alone! Li Yan sped up and caught up to Qiao Mus taxi. Through the window, he saw Qiao Mu sitting in the backseat with her head lowered, so he could not see her expression clearly. He silently followed behind the taxi. When they reached their destination, the taxi stopped and Qiao Mu alighted. Li Yan watched as the figure entered the dormitorypound and went further and further away. His grip on the steering wheel tightened. It wasnt that he was unreasonable and didnt support her decision. It was just that being separated for two years was indeed difficult for him to ept. Feeling very frustrated, he habitually took out a cigarette and started smoking. Qiao Mus figure outside the car had long disappeared, and Li Yan continued to smoke one cigarette after another. After a while, the ground outside the car window was covered in a pile of cigarette butts. After a while, he took out his phone and dialed a number. The call went through and a clear male voice sounded. President Li, its sote. Is there anything you need? Key, what kind of contract did you sign for Qiao Mu? Li Yan asked straightforwardly. Key was silent for a moment. You still dont know about this? Qiao Mu is now a designer under my name, so I naturally gave her a series of ns that are most suitable for her. I thought you knew that she made this difficult decision.
A difficult decision? Li Yans eyes darkened. So, you want to send her abroad for two years? [No, the misunderstanding isnt deep. Ill give you a surprise soon. Be patient] Chapter 837: Break Her Wings? Key was stunned. From Li Yans tone, it was obvious that he did not know about Qiao Mu. President Li, you should ask Qiao Mu about this. Im only in charge of Qiao Mus career. I wont interfere with her personal life, Key said calmly. After a pause, Key continued, President Li, you and I both know Qiao Mus love for fashion design. If you really care about Qiao Mu, you should let her go instead of breaking her wings and keeping her by your side. Li Yan hung up the phone with a dark expression. The knuckles of his fingers that were holding the phone were slightly green and white. If he cared about her, would he let her do what she wanted to do? In Li Yans world, there was no such thing as letting go. He could let her do whatever she wanted, but he could not let go of her! He had already regretted letting go of her ten years ago. How could he bear to let the little woman leave her? Li Yan took a deep breath and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand. His pitch-ck eyes were like a bottomlesske in the night, calm and unperturbed. Li Yan thought of Qiao Mus energetic and energetic appearance every time she designed a draft. She was full of energy and indescribable passion. Whenever he was busy on the weekends and he was working in the study, she would sit by the side and silently draw her own drafts. After drawing a picture, she would show it off to him and let him evaluate it. In fact, in his eyes, her design was wless, but he deliberately teased her and picked out many ws. Sometimes, he was indeed looking for trouble, but she listened quietly. Although she was a little unhappy at times, most of the time, she seriously adopted his opinions and made changes.
Such a small woman was full of charm. She exuded a charming aura from her bones, making him admire and like her. Now, was he going to break her wings for his selfishness? He knew that Qiao Mu was a girl with a lot of ideas. Most of the people her age were still living afortable life in school, but she did not rely too much on him for her own goals and worked hard. How could he bear to let such a hardworking woman give up on her dreams? Li Yan took a deep breath and turned on his phone. He dialed Lei Yis number and said in a deep voice, Send Qiao Mus daily schedule to Paris tomorrow to my email. Also, umte all the work for the next month to the first half of the month. Leave the second half of the month free. After hanging up the phone, Li Yan looked at the dormitory building that had turned off the lights. He started the car, turned the steering wheel, and drove away. Qiao Mu was the only one in the dormitory. Qiao Mu nestled herself under the nket. It was already winter, and the weather at night was very cold. There was no heating in this season, so the entire house was icy cold. It was also very cold under the nket. The thick nket could not give her any warmth, and it made her feel cold from the outside to the inside. Thinking back, she hadnt had such a hard time in a long time. The air conditioner was on in the Li familys vi all year round. It was like spring every moment. Her days were sofortable. Habits were too scary. She was already used to the warmth that Li Yan gave her. Now that she was suddenly left out, she could not ept it. Qiao Mu clutched the nket tightly and pulled it up. Her phone was ced at the head of the bed, but there was not a single text or call. At this moment, Qiao Mu believed in karma. She was angry with him and did not contact him. Very soon, she was being ignored and he was unwilling to contact her. Chapter 838: Leaving with a Misunderstanding That night, Qiao Mu fell into a deep sleep and had a messy dream. She dreamed that Li Yan said to her,Qiao Mu, youre not that important to me. Your matters have nothing to do with me. Youre free now Qiao Mu jolted awake abruptly. The heart-wrenching pain in her chest practically swallowed her whole. Did he not want her anymore? She couldnt ept this! He must have been trying to scare her because he was angry that she did not exin it to him! Qiao Mu took out her phone and wanted to call Li Yan to rify things. She turned on her phone and saw a message from Li Yan. When you arrive in Paris, work in peace. Well talk about our matterster. Seeing this message, Qiao Mu couldnt help but feel tears welling up in her eyes. What was there to talk about? What was the meaning of that messagest night? Qiao Mu angrily put her phone down. He didnt want to contact her, so she didnt want to contact him either!
Then, Qiao Mu arrived at the airport with two puffy eyes. Alone, she arrived two hours early and waited for the others at the airport. Key Studio. Key and a group of designers were preparing to head to the airport. Before they left, Key looked at Amy and said, Ill leave this ce to you for the next month. Finish the proposal in your hands. Dont worry, Ill take care of everything. Amy smiled. In the past, Amy, as Keys secretary, was always inseparable from suchrge-scale events. This time, Amy took the initiative to apply to stay because she knew that Key did not want to bring her along. After all, Paris Fashion Week involved the copyright of the works. After making a mistake once, it was impossible to trust her again. Amy watched as Key left and got into the car. Then, she returned to Keys office and turned on Keysputer to dig out the evidence of Ning Tongtongs copyright vition. Then, he deleted the evidence filepletely, leaving no trace behind. Ning Tongtong was right. Key had already lost trust in her. If Ning Tongtong was used, she, who had leaked the drafts, would also be implicated. This time, she did not want to make things difficult for Qiao Mu, but she really did not want to get herself implicated! On the ne, Key sat beside Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu had been listless the entire time. Herplexion was not good, and her eyes were lifeless. Key recalled Li Yans callst night, and finally asked, Qiao Mu, didnt you tell Li Yan about the contract? Qiao Mu raised her head to look at Key and asked nkly, Teacher Key, how did you know? It seems like thats the case. Key looked down at her. It wasnt easy to convince me to let you stay in the capital and study by yourself. Why didnt you tell him clearly? Qiao Mu lowered her head in silence. Keys eyes twitched. Qiao Mu, is it worth it? Was it worth it? Qiao Mu didnt even need to think about this question. It was worth it. It was worth it for Li Yan. She looked up and smiled. Key, you seem to have asked me this question before. Maybe you think Im looking for trouble for myself. If you meet a woman you love, youll understand if its worth it. Every time Qiao Mu took Li Yans ce, her expression would be serious, even if the two of them were still at odds.
Key smiled disapprovingly. The woman you love? Its probably impossible. Why? Has Teacher Key never met a woman he likes? Because I like men. Key replied fluently. Qiao Mu was speechless.
He was still joking with her at a time like this! Chapter 839: A Woman’s Jealousy and Scheming (1) After that, Qiao Mu arrived in Paris. All her negative emotions could only be put aside for the time being in the face of work. The Fashion Week was veryrge, and it would take a month toplete. There were more than a dozen fashion shows, and Qiao Mu was already dizzy from the work. Celebrities from all over the world could be seen taking photos on the streets, whether they knew each other or not, including Ji Lan. Ji Lan was only a cellist in the art circle. Other celebrities could not bepared to her, yet she was wearing a cheongsam on the street to take photos on the cover of a magazine. Qiao Mu ignored Ji Lan when she saw him, but Ji Lan called out to her like a queen. Designer Qiao,e over here and help me tidy up my clothes. Its very awkward for me to wear them. Qiao Mu raised her eyebrows coldly. You can ask whoever designed the clothes. I dont have time to care about other peoples business, Miss Ji. However, Im very curious. Who designed this qipao for you? It makes your hip bone look especially wide and all the ws of your figure are exposed. Ji Lans expression changed. Initially, he was very satisfied with his China clothes, but after hearing Qiao Mus words and seeing the photos he took, he instantly felt that it was very ugly. Her frame was a little wide to begin with, unlike Qiao Mus slender and delicate figure. Fortunately, her tall figure covered up her ws. Now that she was wearing such a tight qipao, it was indeed an eyesore no matter how she looked at it! Ji Lan looked at his assistant angrily. Call the designer over! At this moment, Ning Tongtong walked over. Miss Ji, what happened to you? Ji Lans expression was ugly. Youre still asking me what kind of clothes you designed for me? It makes my figure look thick and strong. Why dont you wear such tacky clothes yourself? I gave up on being a fashion consultant at Key and wore clothes designed by you. Is this how you fool me?
Realization dawned on Qiao Mu. So Ning Tongtong was Ji Lans designer. Ji Lans fashion consultant had always been handled by Key Studio, but she had actually gone to Ning Tongtongs side for such an important fashion week. Ning Tongtong red at Qiao Mu coldly, then turned back to smile at Ji Lan. Miss Ji, dont listen to others. I made this qipao just for you. Only your perfect curves can bring out the beauty of the qipao. You should know that Qiao Mu and I dont get along. She knows that I designed it, so shes picking on me. Ning Tongtong also knew that Qiao Mu and Ji Lans rtionship was definitely not good. Ji Lan was rumored to be Li Yans fiance, while Qiao Mu was Li Yans lover. It was normal for the two of them to pick on each other. After hearing Ning Tongtongs words, Ji Lans expression did not look so bad anymore. He then looked at the clothes he was wearing and realized that they were actually not bad. Then, Ji Lan red at Qiao Mu. Donte out and embarrass yourself, a designer like you. Youre just a vixen who uses tricks to seduce men. You really think too highly of yourself! Ning Tongtong was gloating. Ji Lan was saying that Qiao Mu was seducing Li Yan! Qiao Mu looked at Ji Lan with a sharp gaze. You make it sound like its true. Did you see me use tricks to seduce men with your own eyes? Who gave you the right to nder me? You Just as Ji Lan opened his mouth, Qiao Mu interrupted him and shook his head helplessly. Some peoples jealousy is really scary. Im prettier than you, but because Im prettier, Im a vixen? The big shots here are much prettier than me. Are they also the vixens you mentioned? Chapter 840: A Woman’s Jealousy and Scheming (2) Ji Lan choked until her face turned green and white. This Qiao Mu was really sharp-tongued, making her want to go up and tear that mouth apart! Ning Tongtong incited, Miss Ji, this Qiao Mu is best at talking. Otherwise, she wouldnt have snatched someone elses fianc! Ning Tongtong deliberately emphasized the word fianc as she observed Qiao Mu and Ji Lans reactions. Ji Lan raised her chin and shot Qiao Mu a disdainful nce. Then she can snatch it away too! She looked exactly like Li Yans fiance. Ning Tongtong looked at Qiao Mu as if she was watching a good show. Indeed, she was right to invite Ji Lan to attend Fashion Week. With her official fiance around, how could Qiao Mu be arrogant?! Ning Tongtong said calmly, Miss Ji is right. How can a lover rise to the top? Of course, he cant bepared to you, his official fiance. Li Yan has only acknowledged you as his fiance. The others cant bepared to him. After she said this, a hint of pride shed in Ji Lans eyes. It seemed that the scandal was still very helpful to her. After Ning Tongtong said that, someone suddenly said, Aiya, I was wondering why she looked familiar. Ive seen this woman in a magazine before. Shes Li Yans fiance who had a scandal with him! Li YanThe CEO of LSAE? Can it be true that theres a scandal? Its not the first time. Li Yan didnt deny it. Im sure its true.
Oh my god, this woman is so lucky. Li Yan had always been overseas, so there was almost no socialite who did not know about him, especially those celebrities who wanted to rely on men to get to the top. They would definitely know such a powerful, tall, rich, and handsome man. This was an asion where a low-status celebrity would fawn over a high-status celebrity. Ji Lan, who was originally unknown, suddenly became the center of attention. Ji Lan felt that his aura had changed in an instant. He raised his chin and epted the enviousments of others while he shot Qiao Mu a contemptuous nce. Qiao Mu looked at Ji Lan as if she was watching a joke. It was clearly something that did not exist, yet she really treated her as Li Yans fiance? Did this kind of woman know what shame was? Ji Lan said, Could it be that Designer Qiao has something against me? Qiao Mu sneered. Miss Ji, are you really Li Yans fiance? Who could be sure that Li Yan had admitted it? If you let everyone think that youre Li Yans fiance, when they find out that youre not, dont p yourself in the face. Before Ji Lan could speak, Ning Tongtong gloated. Qiao Mu, youve been hit so hard that you cant ept the truth, right? Ji Lan took a step forward and approached Qiao Mu. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said softly, Do you think that Im directing and acting? Qiao Mu, I dont have the confidence, so how can I not deny it? The night before I came to Paris, I was with Li Yan. Even if Im not his fiance yet, I will be one day! Qiao Mu raised an eyebrow. Do you think Ill believe you? Its inevitable that you cant ept the truth. That night, Li Yan and I left the Glorious Dark Night and spent the night at the hotel. You dont know, but Li Yan drank a little that night and was really crazy. It was the first time I felt his sexiness. When I think about it, I cant bear to part with him. I think you know how charming he is, right? Ji Lan covered her mouth andughed arrogantly as if she had taken advantage of him. She was very happy. Chapter 841: Beautiful Counterattack Qiao Mus eyes emitted a sharp light. Ji Lan, your acting skills are so good. Its a pity that you dont be an actress! You dont believe me? Ji Lan thought, Oh, right, I still have to thank you for making this happen between us. He was initially uninterested, but the reason why he became so crazy was because he received a message. I dont know what he replied to, but after that, he kept calling me little thing and told me to leave while hugging me tightly Qiao Mus eyes darkened. Ji Lan actually knew how Li Yan addressed her! If Ji Lan was the one who fabricated this, then why did she know Li Yans whereabouts and how did she know that Li Yan had sent her a message? Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly. Her thoughts were a little messed up by Ji Lans provocation. That text message was a fatal pain to her. Every time she recalled the contents of the message, she would feel so much pain that she could not breathe. Yet now, she was hearing this from another woman! Qiao Mu looked at Ji Lans smug smile and took a deep breath. She suppressed the restlessness in her heart and tried her best to calm herself down. Her uncle would never do anything to let her down. Even if he was angry at her, he would never betray her! Ten years ago, she had already been instigated by Qiao Ya once. She had caused them to be separated for ten years because of her hatred. Now, Ji Lans words were not enough to make her lose her mind! She looked back at Ji Lan coldly and curled her lips sarcastically. Youre underestimating my rtionship with Li Yan. Do you think Ill believe a one-sided story without any evidence? Miss Ji, youre very scheming. If this matter is true, you must have left evidence behind after you finally managed to get your hands on it, right? Every time you and Li Yan get close, you can create a scandal. How can you let go of such explosive news about you going to a hotel? When Qiao Mu finished speaking, she saw a crack appear on Ji Lans smile. Ji Lans expression darkened. Qiao Mu, youre really a cockroach that cant be killed. Ive already shared this with you, yet youre still deceiving yourself. If Li Yan can treat you well, hell naturally treat others well too. Do you really think that a man like that belongs to you alone?
Thats right! He belongs to me alone! Qiao Mu answered without hesitation. That man was hers, and in this life, he could only be hers! Ji Lan was furious, but she still maintained her image and could not be angered by Qiao Mu. Otherwise, Qiao Mu would see that she was lying! Qiao Mu smiled. You want me to believe you? Fine, show me the photo! If not, dont be arrogant in front of me! I didnt expose your lie because I want to see how you p your face in public! You ! Alright, wait for me. Ill send you the photo when I get back! Ji Lan said angrily. Qiao Mu chuckled and looked at Ji Lan as if she was looking at an idiot. Do you think Im stupid? You went back and photoshopped a bunch of fake photos for me, and you expect me to believe you? My IQ is not as low as yours! Ji Lan gritted his teeth. He was so angry that he could not say a word. Qiao Mu shrugged. It looks like you cant produce any evidence, so I wont apany you anymore. You can continue daydreaming. Qiao Mu, just you wait! Ji Lan didnt know how to retaliate against Qiao Mu, so he could only throw out a harmless threat. Qiao Mu was about to turn around and leave when she saw Ji Lan ring at her fiercely. The corners of her lips curled up and she put on a surprised expression. She shouted to the crowd, Ah, its really Li Yans fiance! Everyone,e and interview her! Its rare to see Li Yans fiance in person! Chapter 842: Do You Really Not Want Me Anymore? Surrounded by celebrities and celebrities, there were naturally entertainment reporters. Each of them was collecting thetest exclusive news. Upon hearing Qiao Mus words, a group of reporters rushed forward and surrounded Ji Lan. Ji Lan did not understand what Qiao Mu was trying to do. Why would she admit that she was Li Yans fiance for no reason? However, when he saw Qiao Mus sly smile, he knew that she harbored ill intentions. Ji Lan did not have time to think about it. She was overwhelmed by the presence of so many reporters surrounding her. A group of reporters asked her, Li Yans fiance. Ji Lan smiled and nodded, answering everyones questions vaguely. Although she did not directly admit it, her attitude was already a tacit agreement that she was Li Yans fiance. Qiao Mus lips curled up coldly. With Ji Lans intelligence, he still wanted to bully her? After the news report, Ji Lan could be proud of herself for a while, but when the truth was revealed, lets see how she would end it! Qiao Mu turned around and bumped into Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong did it on purpose, wanting to knock her down and embarrass herself. Qiao Mu took a step back to steady herself, and the backpack on her shoulder fell off. Ning Tongtong gave a fake smile. Im sorry, I didnt do it on purpose. I was just too focused on Li Yans fiance and neglected you, my lover. Ning Tongtong, dont try to make yourself known here. I feel disgusted when I see your hypocritical look. Qiao Mu squatted down to pick up the bag. The zipper of the bag was not closed, and the messy things inside spilled out.
Ning Tongtong raised her foot, wanting to pretend that she didnt see it and step on Qiao Mus hand, but she suddenly saw a photo that fell out of Qiao Mus bag. She quickly picked up the photo and red at Qiao Mu. Where did you get this photo? Qiao Mu tidied her bag and stood up. She snatched the one-inch photo from Ning Tongtongs hands. What do you want to do now? This is a photo of me when I was just born. Are you crazy? Ning Tongtongs eyes widened in shock. She didnt react for quite a while when she saw Qiao Mu turn around and leave. She had clearly seen that photo in Shu Xinyus wallet before. Shu Xinyu said that it was a photo of her when she was young, and it was exactly the same photo. Why was she so anxious to see Qiao Mus photo now? Ning Tongtong instantly felt that something was amiss. That baby photo looked very much like Shu Xinyu, so she didnt think too much about it back then. But now, it seemed that the baby looked more like Qiao Mu! At this moment, Shu Xinyu walked over and called out to Ning Tongtong from behind. Ning Tongtong smiled nonchntly and said,Mom, I didnt bring my wallet. Give me some change. Ill go buy some snacks. Shu Xinyu took out her wallet from her bag and handed it to Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong was looking for money when she identally found the one-inch photo. Shu Xinyu frowned slightly. Ning Tongtong smiled and said,Mom, is this really when you were young? Why doesnt it look like it? Of course not. Okay, go buy some food. Shu Xinyu took the photo and wallet over and handed Ning Tongtong a card. She looked at the one-inch photo with a confused expression and ced it in the most difficult ce. Ning Tongtong watched silently from the side. The doubt in her heart grew even stronger. When Qiao Mu returned to her workce, the calmness she had maintained outside began to crumble bit by bit. She took out her phone and stared nkly for a while. Finally, she sent a message:Li Yan, do you really not want me anymore? [Todays update] Chapter 843: Already Booked A Flight To Paris Chapter 843: Already Booked A Flight To Paris Qiao Mu clearly knew that she should not care about Ji Lans words, but when she calmed down, her heart clenched in panic. If Ji Lan had said a bunch of nonsense without any basis, she could have ignored it, but every word had stabbed right into her heart. Finally, she could not take it anymore. She wanted to ask Li Yan for confirmation. She wanted him to give her an affirmative answer. Qiao Mu was a little nervous when she saw the message she sent. She was worried that the reply she received would not be as she wished. She was worried that the man would continue to speak harshly to her in a fit of anger and make her feel even more pain. However, he did not. She waited for a long time, but Li Yan did not reply. Qiao Mus heart instantly turned cold. At the top floor of the Li Corporation in the Imperial Capital, Li Yan was extremely busy. He shortened the workload of a month to half a month. He had to stay upte every night to finish the work.
He had to hurry up and finish his work for the next arrangements. Lei Yi knocked on the door and entered the office. He reported the situation in Paris. President, Ji Lan told the media that shes your fiance and even epted an interview. This news will soon spread to the country. Li Yans hands did not stop moving. He swiftly signed the document and replied coldly, Since she wants to be famous, lets satisfy her. Since Murong Chao is curious about my fiance, let him focus his attention on Ji Lan. At the same time, he could divert Murong Chaos attention away from Qiao Mu. He had wanted Murong Chao to misunderstand him at Glory of the Dark Night previously. Murong Chao already had feelings for Qiao Mu, and if he were to find out about their rtionship, he would cause a lot of trouble. However, Miss Qiao was present during Ji Lans interview. Ji Lan has been targeting Miss Qiao. If I dont exin it to Miss Qiao, Im afraid Miss Qiao will misunderstand. Lei Yi voiced out the worry in his heart. Li Yans hand that was holding the fountain pen paused for a moment. His tone was very certain. I wont. Even if they were at odds, he knew that Qiao Mu would not believe these nonsensical things. This was not the first time he and Ji Lan had been involved in a scandal. Qiao Mu knew the reason for the previous two scandals, so he was not worried about it. However, Li Yan did not know that what Ji Lan had done behind his back had already weakened Qiao Mus trust in him. Lei Yi saw that Li Yan was not worried, so he did not say anything more. Just as he was about to leave the office, he thought of something and looked at Li Yan. President, your flight to Paris has been booked in advance. After Lei Yi finished speaking, the man opposite him did not react and continued to busy himself. Ever since Qiao Mu had left for 48 hours, this man had been working like his life depended on it. He treated one day as two days, as if he had something very important to do next, so he finished the work at hand as quickly as possible. Because the Qiaos Enterprise was in the critical moment of the final handover, they couldnt let go. Otherwise, this man would definitely fly to Paris immediately. Li Yan finally finished the work he had arranged for that day. He looked at the time and saw that it was already three in the morning. He rubbed the space between his brows and suddenly recalled that Qiao Mu had once said that if he stayed upte, he would make himself very old. There was already a gap in their ages, and the gap would only grow bigger in the future, so he was not allowed to stay upte. That little woman was not by his side, so he could only rely on his memories to fill his emptiness. After Li Yan went into the lounge to wash up, hey down on the big bed in the lounge. He casually reached for his phone and realized that it was still outside. He had not touched his phone the entire day except for answering calls. Chapter 844: How Can I Bear to Not Want You Chapter 844: How Can I Bear to Not Want You At night, he could not help but miss his little woman. During the day, he could focus on work, but when he rxed, his mind was filled with the shadow of his little woman. The short two days of not contacting each other was extremely torturous for him. Thinking about how they would be separated for two years in the future, even if he flew over to see her often, they would be separated for countless days and nights. In the future, he would have to rely on his phone to keep in touch with her. Li Yan took the phone and opened it, his fingers skillfully opening WeChat. In the past, he had never used these messaging applications. For him, other than making phone calls, he only used his phone to surf the Inte and look at the stock market. There was no other use for him. However, he was bing more and more dependent on his phone now. When he opened WeChat, he found an unread message. It was from Qiao Mu! Li Yans steps towards the bed stopped abruptly. He opened the message and when he saw the line of words, his eyes darkened. Li Yan, do you really not want me anymore? In an instant, Li Yan felt his chest tighten. Those few simple words made him feel helpless and lonely.
His little woman had always been carefree, but he knew that she felt more insecure than anyone else. He had always known! But he didnt care about her feelings! Li Yans fingers that were holding the phone turned green. Then, he dialed the number. There was a six-hour time difference between the capital and Paris. It was nine oclock in Paris. Qiao Mu had just finished her work and returned to her hotel room. In the afternoon, she received many messages. Some were from Chi Xia, some were about the baby, and some were irrelevant. The only thing she did not receive was Li Yan. Every time she received a message, she would turn on her phone immediately and put it away in disappointment. She had never thought that Li Yan would ignore her one day. She had always thought that no matter how willful she was, no matter what she became, that man would always be by her side. At this moment, her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She felt like she was hallucinating. She pursed her lips tightly and answered the call. The call went through. Qiao Mu did not say anything, and neither did Li Yan. The short silence made Qiao Mu think that Li Yan had identally called her. Finally, a low voice came from the other end of the phone. Mu Mu The familiar voice was just a simple form of address, but it was enough to strike straight into Qiao Mus heart, causing the emotions she had suppressed for a long time to erupt bit by bit. How can I bear to abandon you? The mans voice rang out immediately after. His low voice carried a trace of helplessness and apology. How could I bear to abandon you These words made the tears in Qiao Mus eyes fall uncontrobly. Tears fell on the phone screen, on the couple photo. Qiao Mu bit her lip hard to prevent herself from crying out loud.
Qiao Mu wanted to apologize, but she couldnt stop her tears. She opened her mouth and let out soft sobs. Li Yans heart tightened as he said with heartache, Why are you crying? Be good, dont cry. Im not by your side. If you cry, who will wipe your tears? Qiao Mu sniffed and let out an en. Mumu, give me some time, okay?
Yes. Dont let your imagination run wild when youre alone. Yes. You have to believe me. Yes. The two of them clearly had a lot to say to each other, but theymunicated in the simplest way. Chapter 845: She Believes Him! Chapter 845: She Believes Him! After that, Qiao Mu passed the phone call with tears streaming down her face as she responded with an okay. When she hung up the phone, she suddenly realized that she hadnt asked him anything! She had so many questions to ask him. Why did he send her those messages? Why did he ignore her? What was going on with Ji Lan? Also, what did he mean by giving him some time? She still wanted to apologize to him and exin to him Qiao Mu stared nkly at the end of the call on her phone screen. Then, she felt that everything was no longer important. He said that he couldnt bear to abandon her. That was enough! She had always believed his words without any reason. Li Yans phone call had finally sobered Qiao Mu up. She was still in a state of confusion because of Ji Lans words, but now, she felt that there were many things that were amiss.
How did Ji Lan know that she had sent Li Yan a message? Naturally, she did not believe that something had really happened between Ji Lan and Li Yan. At the thought of this, Qiao Mu sent Chi Xia a message to ask about the situation that day. Soon, Chi Xia replied, telling her that Li Yan had gone after her that night, but she had no idea. So, Li Yan was not with Ji Lan that night! Qiao Mu then asked Chi Xia to help her find out more about Su Chen. That night, Su Chen and Li Yan were at Glory of the Dark Night, so she might be able to find out something. When Chi Xia saw Qiao Mus message, she was put in a difficult position. She asked Qiao Mu to ask Su Chen about it, but she really didnt want to interact with him in the middle of the night. Qiao Mu knew that Chi Xia might be put in a difficult position, so she sent over a dozen emojis of please , kneel and thank , beg , and cry . Chi Xia was helpless. She had already returned to her room at this time. Su Chen should be in the study. She could only walk out of the bedroom and knock on the door. Yes, Young Master Su. Su Chen walked in and looked at him awkwardly. Young Master Su, can I ask you something? Speak. Su Chens expression was indifferent. Thats right. Mu Mu seems to have some misunderstanding with Young Master Li. She asked me to ask you if Li Yan and Ji Lan had any contact that night at Glorious Dark Night. Shes the woman who had a scandal with Li Yan before. Su Chen leaned backzily in his seat. Do I have to tell you? This woman was always worrying about other peoples affairs! Im asking on behalf of Mumu. Dont you care about your big brothers marriage? If she wants to know, why doesnt she ask the person directly? I have noment. Su Chen said lightly. Chi Xia tried her best and turned to leave. After taking two steps, Su Chen said, Wait a minute. She turned around to look at the man, only to see Su Chen beckoning her with his hand and stretching his neck. I can tell you, bute over and massage my shoulders. Chi Xia was speechless.
Then, Su Chen said in a bossy manner, Your friends marriage is in your hands. Chi Xia gritted her teeth and walked over to massage Su Chens shoulders obediently. Can you tell me now? he asked after pinching it a few times. Too light.
Chi Xia increased her strength. And then You want to crush my bones? Finally, Su Chen felt that the strength was enough. As he enjoyed it, he said, You seem to be a busybody? .. Young Master Su, can you please tell me? Sure. After I tell you, you have to massage it for half an hour. .. Alright. Chapter 846: Handsome Men Are Not Good Things Chapter 846: Handsome Men Are Not Good Things Su Chen was satisfied and told Chi Xia what happened that night. Chi Xias hand that was massaging her shoulders stopped unconsciously. So Young Master Li was protecting Mu Mu. Su Chen tilted his head and looked at the two hands on his shoulders. The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. Suddenly, Chi Xia turned around and left. Su Chen frowned and reached out to grab her, but she flung him away. Young Master Su, Ill tell Mumu about this first. Shes anxious. With that, he left in a sh. After that, the woman returned to the bedroom and never came back. Su Chen sighed. Thefortable feeling on his shoulder was gone before he could enjoy it. Qiao Mu listened to Chi Xias narration over the phone and finally understood. Li Yan deliberately kept Ji Lan behind so that Murong Chao would not know about their rtionship. Therefore, the message she sent to Li Yan was Ji Lans doing! At this moment, Qiao Mu felt that she was extremely stupid. Why would Li Yan send her such a heartless message? She must have lost her mind to suspect Li Yan! In China, the news of Li Yans fiance attending Paris Fashion Week quickly spread like wildfire.
Ji Lans photo on the inte and the words Future Young Mistress Li in bold andrge letters were as exaggerated as they could get. At this moment, Ji Lan was extremely happy. She did not expect that a fashion week would actually make her popr. It was not in vain that she had used all her connections to get an admission ticket! When Ji Lan saw Qiao Mu, his eyes were filled with disdain. He really treated her as his official fiance and Qiao Mu as his unpresentable lover. Qiao Mu only felt that Ji Lan was a joke and silently waited for her to embarrass herself. However, the discussion on the Inte did notst long. Two hourster, all the news about Ji Lan was removed by the administrator. For a time, the rtionship between Ji Lan and Li Yan became a mystery. Li Yan did not respond to this matter. Ji Lan smiled disapprovingly. I really shouldnt have epted the interview. After all, Im standing at the center of the storm and will be envied by others. I n to keep my marriage a secret in the future. In one sentence, she was hinting to others that Li Yan was trying to hide his fiance from her, so he had never admitted to it and had always cleaned up those scandals. Leo looked at Qiao Mu and asked worriedly, Are you alright? Im fine, Teacher Leo. Im fine. I cant be better! How could she not be in a good mood when she saw Ji Lan, this big joke? Leo patted Qiao Mus shoulder. Dont overthink it. Men are all bad people, especially those who are handsome, rich, and powerful. Youre still young, so dont waste your time on the wrong person. Qiao Mu was speechless. Obviously, Leo believed Ji Lans words and really thought that she was Li Yans lover. Qiao Mu didnt exin and focused on her own matters. At that moment, she only wanted to do her job well. Then, when she returned to the country, she would exin everything to Li Yan. Ning Tongtong walked over and stopped behind Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, I have something to tell you. Come out for a moment. Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered with the other party. Seeing that there was no one around, Ning Tongtong waved her hand in front of Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu nced at it and saw that Ning Tongtong was holding a one-inch photo. Why did you take my photo? As Qiao Mu spoke, she reached out to grab it, but Ning Tongtong dodged her. Ning Tongtong smiled. Are you sure this is yours? See if your card is still there. Qiao Mu frowned. She had never interacted with Ning Tongtong in private, and her photo had always been in her bag. It was impossible for Ning Tongtong to have it.
Chapter 847: Why Did You Snatch Everything That Belong to Her? Chapter 847: Why Did You Snatch Everything That Belong to Her? Qiao Mu immediately confirmed that her card was still there. Ning Tongtong saw her confusion and smiled.Qiao Mu, youre very curious about where I got this photo, arent you? I found this in an old information in an orphanage. Later, I found out that you were an orphan. You were abandoned by your parents when you were born. Tell me, what right do you have to stand in such a high-ss event? Qiao Mus expression darkened, and she looked at Ning Tongtong with a sharp gaze. Im really curious. What kind of education did you receive since you were young? How did your brain be crippled? Every word you say reveals your vulgar and disgusting side. Please donte out and embarrass yourself! You! Qiao Mu, just you wait! Ning Tongtongs face was twisted as she gritted her teeth and spat out each word. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes. Alright, Ill wait! Ning Tongtong stared fixedly at Qiao Mus back. She raised her hand and tore the photo in her hand into pieces before throwing it into the trash can. She had stolen this photo from Shu Xinyus wallet! Qiao Mu! Why did she have to snatch everything that belonged to her! When Ning Tongtong realized that Shu Xinyu and Qiao Mu had the same photo, she became suspicious. One of them must have lied. Hence, she started investigating Qiao Mu. She had previously investigated that Qiao Mu was not the biological daughter of the Qiao family and was an orphan. After that, she did not continue investigating.
However, she had asked her brother to investigate Qiao Mu in detail yesterday and found out that the orphanage that adopted Qiao Mu was the same orphanage that Shu Xinyu had always sponsored! How could there be such a coincidence? All along, she had thought that Shu Xinyu was kind enough to volunteer at the orphanage. She had not thought much of it, but now she realized that there was a problem! From the very beginning, she had felt that Qiao Mu and Shu Xinyu had simr facial features. It was not obvious when the two of them stood together now, but Shu Xinyus photo when she was younger did indeed look very simr to Qiao Mus. The things that she did not care about in the past now all matched up! Ning Tongtong refused to believe her own guess. She couldnt ept it at all. If Qiao Mu and Shu Xinyu were somehow rted, what would happen to her? She absolutely couldnt let herself lose Shu Xinyu, her backer. Shu Xinyu was her mother! Ning Tongtong went back to her workce. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She raised her hand and pped herself. It hurt! However, she wanted to make Qiao Mu suffer even more! Shu Xinyu walked in and saw Ning Tongtong sitting on the sofa in a daze. She asked in a low voice,Tongtong, what are you doing here? You cant bezy with your busy work. After all, this Fashion Week is a key turning point for you to regain your reputation. Ning Tongtong lowered her head and sobbed softly. Shu Xinyu was startled and quickly asked,Why are you crying? Who offended you? Ning Tongtong buried her face even lower and sobbed with grievance. Mom, I really know my mistake for giarizing Qiao Mus work. I did something wrong and have nightmares every night. I wake up to condemn myself, so why cant I be forgiven? Shu Xinyu frowned. Who said you cant be forgiven? As long as you know your mistakes and can change, its fine. Hasnt Mom always been helping you? But when I went to apologize to Qiao Mu, my attitude was very sincere. I wanted to ask for her forgiveness, but she used some vicious words to attack me. She was clearly short of money for those works in the past, so she sold the drafts. Now, all the me is on me, and she even said that I had no upbringing. Ning Tongtong wiped away her tears and finally raised her head to look at Shu Xinyu. Mom, do you think Ill never be able to make up for the things Ive done wrong? Chapter 848: What Right Do You Have to Teach Me a lesson for My Mother? Chapter 848: What Right Do You Have to Teach Me a lesson for My Mother? Nonsense! Dont listen to Qiao Mus nonsense. Shes the one whos ill-mannered and still dares to lecture my daughter As Shu Xinyu spoke, she was shocked to see the red mark on Ning Tongtongs face. Tongtong, what happened to your face? Why is there a palm print? Ning Tongtong hurriedly dodged. Im fine, Mom. It was an ident I identally bumped into a wall. Seeing Ning Tongtongs evasiveness, Shu Xinyus eyes instantly burned with fire. Qiao Mu hit you?! No Mom, you cant me her. Its only right for her to hate me. Who asked me to Tongtong! Youre too kind, thats why youre bullied! Shu Xinyu grabbed Ning Tongtong and walked out. Follow me. I want to see whos the one with no manners! Ning Tongtong was being dragged by Shu Xinyu. The corners of her mouth curled up bit by bit, and a trace of ruthlessness shed in her eyes. Qiao Mu was tidying up her clothes in the office when she suddenly heard an angry shout from the door. Qiao Mu,e over here! She turned around and saw Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong walking into the office. One was furious, while the other was weeping. Qiao Mus brows furrowed slightly. What were these two people trying to do? Why were they looking for trouble with her all day?! Qiao Mu walked forward. Ms. Shu, please dont barge into my office
Pa! Before Qiao Mu could finish speaking, Shu Xinyu raised her arm and swiftly pped her across the face. For a moment, the workshop fell silent. Qiao Mu was dazed from the beating. She widened her eyes and looked at Shu Xinyu, only to see that Shu Xinyus hand had justnded when she immediately raised it again. Qiao Mu was caught off guard by the p just now. When Shu Xinyus hand fell again, Qiao Mu urately grabbed her arm and narrowed her eyes sharply. What right do you have to hit me? Why? Im here to tell you what upbringing is! Shu Xinyu had always been cold and arrogant, and she was still high and mighty. At this moment, her anger soared to the sky, as if hitting Qiao Mu was a matter of course. Qiao Mu felt a burning pain on her cheeks, and she gritted her teeth. What does my upbringing have to do with you? Ms. Shu, who are you to me? Im Tongtongs mother! My daughter is being bullied by you. I wonder if I should teach you. You dont have a mother to teach you, so Im teaching you what manners are on behalf of your mother. Shu Xinyu said sternly. Qiao Mu felt a stabbing pain in her heart when she saw Shu Xinyus stance of protecting Ning Tongtong. She was Ning Tongtongs mother, and she was protecting her daughter! Her gazended on Ning Tongtong, who was behind Shu Xinyu. At this moment, the tears on Ning Tongtongs face had already dried up, and there was a faint palm print on her cheek. Her expression was pitiful, and Qiao Mu could see the smug look in Ning Tongtongs eyes. In an instant, Qiao Mu understood that Ning Tongtong had directed and acted everything out! Qiao Mus lips twitched coldly, and her cheek, which had been pped, hurt a little. Madam Shu, youve really raised a good daughter! At this moment, Ning Tongtong pretended to tug at Shu Xinyu. Mom, forget it. Im fine. Its not good to blow things up. Tongtong, you were bullied by her because you were too kind. If I dont get justice for you today, shell get worse in the future! Shu Xinyu looked as if she was unwilling to let Qiao Mu go. Too kind? Upon hearing this evaluation, Qiao Mu really wanted tough out loud. She had truly witnessed this pair of top-notch mother and daughter! Qiao Mu took a deep breath. Madam Shu, I dont mind you protecting your daughter, but you said that I bullied Ning Tongtong. Who saw that? What right do you have to hit me? What right do you have to lecture me on behalf of my mother? Youre not worthy! Chapter 849: Distorted Motherly Love Chapter 849: Distorted Motherly Love You! Qiao Mu, youve done a bad thing and you still refuse to admit it. Do you think I should believe you instead of my own daughter? A designer like you is not worthy of participating in the Paris fashion show. Ill ask the person in charge to disqualify you now! Key walked over. Ms. Shu is right. We cant just let this matter go! Shu Xinyu raised her chin arrogantly. Key, since youve already said so, then Qiao Mu is your woman. How are you going to give me an exnation? Its official business, hitting someone. This kind of uncultured person really doesnt deserve to be a designer. Keys lips curled up coldly. Just now, Madam Shu hit Qiao Mu, and everyone present saw it with their own eyes. There are surveince cameras in the workshop that recorded everything clearly, so we wont let this matter rest. Madam Shu said that Qiao Mu hit Ning Tongtong, and I hope that you can provide evidence. Otherwise, just based on Ning Tongtongs one-sided words, its not convincing at all. You and Ning Tongtong have to apologize to Qiao Mu! Key, you Why? Ms. Shu, do you think this method is inappropriate? Shu Xinyu looked at Ning Tongtong. Tongtong, tell me, where did Qiao Mu hit you? Ill go find the recording! Ning Tongtong lowered her head, feeling wronged. She was so self-righteous, so she found a ce without surveince cameras. Mom, forget it. Its not good for us if this matter gets blown up. Ning Tongtong was originally watching a good show and did not expect that Key would step forward to help Qiao Mu. However, it did not matter. Anyway, her goal was to make Shu Xinyu hate Qiao Mu, and now she had achieved it! In Shu Xinyus eyes, Ning Tongtongs behavior was that she didnt want to blow things up. Keys attitude was firm, and she couldnt produce any evidence. Shu Xinyu hated Qiao Mu even more. Under such circumstances, Shu Xinyu could only leave with Ning Tongtong temporarily. However, Key stopped her. Madam Shu, are you nning to leave just like that? Qiao Mu shook her head at Key. Forget it, Teacher Key. Key furrowed his brows. Since Qiao Mu had said so, he didnt say anything else. However, Qiao Mu was not someone who would willingly let herself suffer a loss, so she actually did not pursue Shu Xinyus responsibility at this moment. In Shu Xinyus eyes, Qiao Mus behavior was guilty. She had done something bad, so what could she do if she didnt let it go? The workce returned to its usual calm. Qiao Mu stood in front of the mirror and saw that her face had already turned red. The degree of redness was enough to tell how hard the other party had hit her. However, she did not feel any pain at all. Why did it have to be Shu Xinyu! Key passed the medicine to Qiao Mu. Wipe it on, itll reduce the swelling. Teacher Key, I didnt hit Ning Tongtong. Qiao Mu exined. Kaye nodded and said after a while, I hope you hit her. Qiao Mu smiled. Fortunately, someone was on her side. However, her face hurt a little when she smiled. At the same time. In Li Yans office in the Imperial Capital, the man who was sitting at his desk had a dark expression on his face. He exuded a cold aura from the inside out. Upon hearing the news that Qiao Mu was beaten up, his pitch-ck eyes instantly burned with raging mes, yet they were frighteningly cold. Doesnt Shu Xinyu care about Ning Tongtong? Since she dared to hit my woman, then Ill let Ning Tongtong have a taste of what it feels like to be pped. I want his face to be unable to be seen by anyone! Lei Yi listened quietly. Also, disqualify Ning Tongtong from Paris Fashion Week! As for Shu Xinyu Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, Forget it for now. Li Yan spat out thest four words coldly. He did not settle the score with Shu Xinyu because he was concerned about Qiao Mu. However, he would not allow anyone to bully Qiao Mu, even if that person was Qiao Mus biological mother! [Theres still one more update today. Let the viin be arrogant for a while.] Chapter 850: It’s Very Satisfying to Hit Someone Chapter 850: Its Very Satisfying to Hit Someone The jawbone on Qiao Mus face was scratched by Shu Xinyus ring, and a faint red mark appeared on it. Her originally fair face was clean without any impurities, so even though this red mark was very faint, it was very obvious. She looked at herself in the mirror and examined her face. She had always been a beauty since she was young. In the past, she did not think too much about it. But now, it seemed that Zhou Jierus genes made her so beautiful. If that woman really gave her such a face, even if she ruined it with her own hands, she would treat it as a debt. Qiao Mu shook her head and continued to immerse herself in her work. That afternoon, there was a fashion show. Qiao Mu was not in the mood to be sad and lonely, and her mood quickly returned to normal. There was still an hour and a half before the fashion show, and a batch of new clothes was waiting to be released. Qiao Mu went downstairs to buy coffee for the people in the work team and went out to breathe in the fresh air while she was at it. When she entered the elevator, she bumped into Ning Tongtong. The red mark on Ning Tongtongs face from the p had long disappeared. She was in high spirits now, and her smile became even more sinister when she saw the mark on Qiao Mus face. When Qiao Mu entered the elevator, Ning Tongtong hurriedly pushed her to a corner in a panic and said pretentiously, Aiyo, theres only the two of us here. Youre not going to fight me again, are you? Again! Qiao Mu sneered. Ning Tongtong, dont you feel tired of pretending? Im not tired. Im very happy. Ning Tongtong touched her face. I didnt get pped for nothing. Youre really ruthless. In order to scheme against me, you hit yourself. But Im curious, why would you do such a thing? I was pped, but you also suffered pain. This is not good for you. What are your motives? Moreover, with Ning Tongtongs current situation, the best choice was to make things difficult for her in secret. She was openly targeting her without any evidence. Others would not be stupid enough to believe her groundless ims. Ning Tongtongs smile disappeared, and her eyes turned vicious. How do you know that I wont get any benefits? Ive already obtained my benefits! Look at your face, this is my benefit! Qiao Mus eyes darkened. Talking to such a woman was a waste of breath, so the best way was to directly hit her! She walked towards Ning Tongtong, raised her hand, and with lightning speed, pped Ning Tongtong hard. Ning Tongtong was beaten silly, and Qiao Mu felt very relieved when she saw this reaction. Before Ning Tongtong could react, she pped her again. She didnt go easy on her, and her hand was stinging. Indeed, she shouldnt hit someone herself. She should have prepared a ***** to deal with this kind of person! Ning Tongtong came to her senses and covered her face with both hands. She red at Qiao Mu in disbelief. You You actually dared to hit me! Qiao Mu, theres a surveince camera in the elevator. Just you wait, I dont have to worry about evidence now! Qiao Mu sneered. In any case, youve already falsely used me, so why cant I just satisfy my craving for beating people up? This feeling was indeed very satisfying! Now that both your cheeks are red, others will think that youve put on blush. The fashion show will start in a while, so you dont have to thank me for putting on makeup for you! You You sinister woman! Ning Tongtongs eyes were bloodshot as she pounced toward Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu calcted that the elevator would stop, and when Ning Tongtong pounced on her, she swiftly stepped out of the elevator. [Todays update is over.] Chapter 851: Cancel Ning Tongtong’s Qualification for Fashion Week Chapter 851: Cancel Ning Tongtongs Qualification for Fashion Week Outside the elevator were maintenance workers in uniform. Qiao Mu turned around to look at Ning Tongtong, who had a terrifying expression on her face, before politely greeting the maintenance workers. Master, are you here to fix the elevators surveince cameras? The repairman smiled. Yes, I received a notice this morning that the surveince camera was broken, so I rushed over to repair it. Itll be fixed in a while. I wont dy your ride. Ning Tongtongs expression turned ugly after the maintenance worker finished speaking. The surveince cameras were broken! Hence, Qiao Mu did it on purpose! Ahhhh! Ning Tongtong was so furious that she was about to go mad. She could only watch as Qiao Mu arrogantly left. Yet, Qiao Mu still turned around and smiled at her in an exasperating manner, mouthing three words at her. You brought this upon yourself. Sure enough, the tables had turned. Qiao Mu realized that her luck was pretty good. Qiao Mus principle was to take revenge for her grievances, and only when she vented her anger would everyone be happy. She had never been someone who was willing to suffer losses and swallow all the bitterness in her stomach! An hour before the show started, Shu Xinyu led the team backstage to make preparations.
However, she was stopped by the person in charge. Ms. Shu, I just received an order from the higher-ups. Ning Tongtong, a member of your team, has vited the rules of the designer industry. She is officially disqualified. What did you say? Ning Tongtong rushed forward. What right do you have to disqualify me? What rules have I broken?! The managers attitude was cold. The organizers have made the decision, and Im only following their instructions. As for what rules Ive vited, everyone in the industry should know that Ning Tongtong is suspected of giarizing other designers works. Paris Fashion Week is one of the four major fashion weeks in the world. Not just anyone can get involved. Ning Tongtongs expression was ugly. Shu Xinyu smiled and said, Mr. David, I entered the Paris Fashion Week through proper channels. Every member of my team was carefully selected by me. You cant stop us halfway. This is the decision of the higher-ups. Im just passing on a message. Ms. Shu, the runway show will start soon. You should bring the other members backstage to prepare. Dont waste time. Shu Xinyus expression turned cold. If you cant change your decision, then my entire team will withdraw from the fashion show. All the fashion shows had been arranged beforehand. If their works were to withdraw at thest minute, it would affect the progress of the fashion show. After all, the main reason for entering the Paris Fashion Week this time was for Ning Tongtong. She wanted to make Ning Tongtong change her life, but she had to cancel Ning Tongtongs qualification. How could Shu Xinyu ept it! Are you threatening us, Ms. Shu? Dave asked with a straight face. If you want to quit, I have no objections. We can find another team to rece you at the fashion show, but you should know that if you offend us, what ce do you have in this industry? Shu Xinyu never thought that the other party would not give her any face. No matter what, she was a schemer many years ago and had some influence. Now, she was being treated like this! Ning Tongtong tugged at Shu Xinyus clothes in a panic. Mom, what should I do? I cant be disqualified. Ive already announced to the public that Ill be in Paris Fashion Week! Shu Xinyu knew the importance of this. She suppressed her anger and softened her tone. Mr. David, what do you think? Ning Tongtong wont be participating in any of the uing fashion shows, but can you not remove her name from the list of designers at Fashion Week? Otherwise, Ning Tongtongs reputation would bepletely ruined. Chapter 852: 854-Self-directed and Self-Acting Chapter 852: Chapter 854-Self-directed and Self-Acting Dave looked at his watch impatiently and said coldly, I told you, Im following the instructions of my superior. If I cancel Ning Tongtongs participation, she wont be a designer. You can either go backstage and prepare or leave the show together. Shu Xinyu wanted to say something, but Dave didnt give her a chance. He turned around and left. Ning Tongtong was so anxious that she was about to cry. Mommy, what should we do? Please help me. How could this be? Ive already established a good rtionship! Shu Xinyu frowned and took out her phone to make a call. Then, she received an apologetic response from the other party. This matter had been passed down by her superiors. Even the people she knew could not do anything about it! Superior? Why would the higher-ups care about a small designer like Ning Tongtong? Mom, it must be Qiao Mu! Ning Tongtong suddenly said. Qiao Mu is plotting against me! Qiao Mu had Li Yan behind her, so it made sense. Shu Xinyus expression darkened. Who else could it be but Qiao Mu?! When he thought of Qiao Mu, he thought of another person Shu Xinyu reminded her, Tongtong, have you forgotten that Ji Lan is here?
Ning Tongtong suddenly reacted and immediately rushed out. At this moment, only Ji Lan could help her! Ji Lan was Li Yans fiance and was not on good terms with Qiao Mu. As long as Ji Lan spoke, this matter would be resolved! However, Ning Tongtong found Ji Lan and was about to exin her intentions when she was met with Ji Lans disdain. Why should I help you? Im very busy now and dont have the mood to meddle in other peoples business. Miss Ji, as long as you help me, Ill definitely remember this favor. If you need anything in the future, just let me know! Ning Tongtong grabbed onto her life-saving straw. Besides, you cant stand Qiao Mu being arrogant, right? Were on the same side. Although Ji Lan was very interested in Ning Tongtongs conditions, she could still help if she wanted to! Originally, she had nned and acted as Li Yans fiance to gain poprity, so it was useless now. Ning Tongtong was still pleading. Ji Lan thought about it and said calmly, Ill tell Li Yan about it, but I cant guarantee that hell be able to help you resolve this matter. Ill be responsible for talking to him. Ning Tongtong felt like she had seen hope. Miss Ji, as long as youre willing to help me pass the message, Ill be forever grateful to you no matter what the oue is! Ji Lan curled her lips. It would be a waste if she did not want such a favor. Ji Lan took her phone to the side and dialed a number. Then, she spoke gently into the phone,Yan, I want you to help me resolve somethingOkay, I miss you too. Goodbye. Ning Tongtong looked at Ji Lans expression and thought to herself that her real fiance was indeed different. That Qiao Mu was definitely just a tool for Li Yan to vent his anger! Ji Lan put down the phone and raised her chin with a smile. Li Yan has agreed, but its just a test. Hes been very busy recently, so I cant be sure of the results. After all, its not my own matter, so its inevitable that he wont be too concerned. Thank you, Miss Ji. No need to thank me. Theres a chance for you to repay me. I want to be a model for your team. Ning Tongtong was stunned. Ji Lans figure was far inferior to a models, but since he had asked, she agreed without hesitation. It would not do her any harm to please Li Yans fiance. If Ning Tongtong knew that everything that happened just now was Ji Lans acting, and that the person she was always high and mighty was trying to please was just a woman with no background who relied on selling her body to create a scandal to get to her position, wouldnt she be so angry that she would die of anger? Chapter 853: The Child Was Abandoned, The Mother Was Right! Chapter 853: The Child Was Abandoned, The Mother Was Right! Qiao Mu went backstage to get ready. The models came to try on the clothes, and Ye Nuan was one of them. Qiao Mu was pleasantly surprised to see an acquaintance in a foreign country. Ye Nuan, why didnt you tell me you wereing to Paris Fashion Week? You knew I was here. Ye Nuan smiled. I know youre here, and I know Im in charge of Keys team, so well have to meet sooner orter. I just rushed overst night. Qiao Mu was surprised. Youre too amazing. Its amazing that youre able to enter the Paris Fashion Week. Its nothing. I got in through my connections. Otherwise, how could it be so smooth? Qiao Mu was very calm when she saw Ye Nuans disapproving expression. If it were anyone else, she would have thought that she was showing off. However, Ye Nuan was simply stating the truth without disguising her backdoor connections or showing off that she had a backdoor connection. Her attitude made people feel veryfortable. In such an environment, it was indeed rare to be able to be yourself calmly, not to tter others, and not to pretend to be yourself. Ye Nuan went to change her clothes, and Qiao Mu also got busy. Each fashion showsted for an hour, and one brand after another was released. The Key brand was disyed from two in the afternoon to three in the afternoon. After the show ended, it was Shu Xinyus team that went on stage. Ever since she arrived in Paris, Qiao Mu had already attended three press conferences with her team, so she was already used to the schedule.
An hourter, the press conference went smoothly. When it was time for the designer to make her appearance, Qiao Mu stepped onto the runway. There were no clothes designed by Qiao Mu in the previous few shows, so she could only stay backstage and get busy. This was her first time stepping onto the stage of a Paris fashion show, and such a grand scale was more gorgeous than any fashion show in the country. After the press conference ended, Qiao Mu got off the runway and bumped into Shu Xinyu, who had walked backstage. Shu Xinyu nced coldly at Qiao Mu. She walked past her and suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around to look at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, allow me to remind you that you shouldnt be too reckless. You f * cking targeted Tongtong, and youll get your retribution sooner orter. Retribution? I do believe in karma! Id like to see whos getting their retribution! Qiao Mu originally did not want to argue with Shu Xinyu, but she really could not take it anymore. She had inexplicably pinned a bunch of crimes on her! She had been pped for no reasonst time, and now she was going to be lectured. This woman really did not intend to let her off. Shu Xinyus face darkened. The Qiao family has been ruined by you. You were abandoned by your mother since you were young. I really admire your strong heart. You were abandoned by your mother when you were young These words deeply stung Qiao Mu. She clenched her fists tightly andughed coldly. Madam Shu, your understanding is really unique. As a mother, you wholeheartedly protect Ning Tongtong, but youve lost the most basic humanity. I was abandoned by my mother. Is it because in Madam Shus eyes, its the childs fault for a mother to abandon her child? Theres nothing wrong with a mother abandoning her child, right? Shu Xinyus expression stiffened. Qiao Mu looked at the face that had always maintained its haughty appearance, wanting to see something from her face, but after catching a trace of unnaturalness, her expression instantly returned to normal, and there was even a trace of self-righteousness in her eyes. If the child is right, why would the mother abandon her? Which mother in this world didnt love her child? Its your own fault that you were abandoned! Chapter 854: Ms. Shu Is the Mother Who Abandoned Her Child? Chapter 854: Ms. Shu Is the Mother Who Abandoned Her Child? Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly, her sharp nails digging into her palms. She used her nails to pinch the flesh of her palms with all her might, desperately reminding herself to stay calm. In this world, there were really people who twisted human nature like this. It was the childs fault that the mother abandoned the child. Therefore, Shu Xinyu had abandoned that child back then. It was not her fault for abandoning him, but the childs existence was a mistake! Regardless of whether that child was her or not, Qiao Mu truly felt sorry for that child. At this moment, Qiao Mu had the urge topletely shed all pretense of cordiality. She looked coldly at Shu Xinyu and said word by word, Ms. Shu, are you the mother who abandoned her child and still thinks that shes right? What are you talking about! Shu Xinyu responded agitatedly and red at Qiao Mu. Youre really ill-mannered to push this kind of me onto someone else! Guilt? Didnt Ms. Shu just say that abandoning the child was right? How did it be guilty now? Qiao Mu looked at the face in front of her that seemed to have lost control from her words. So, this woman also had irrational moments. Was she always feeling guilty? Shu Xinyu was at a loss for words. She only felt a ball of fire burning in her heart and tormenting her when she faced Qiao Mus question. Ning Tongtong stood at the entrance. When she heard Qiao Mus words, she tookrge strides forward and held Shu Xinyus arm. Qiao Mu, is there any meaning to your gossiping? I wasnt abandoned by my mother. My mother is a verypetent mother. Youre really jealous. Ning Tongtongs appearance helped Shu Xinyu out of her predicament, causing Shu Xinyus abnormality to disappear.
Forget it, Tongtong. We dont have to argue with this kind of uneducated person, Shu Xinyu said coldly. The other party kept calling Qiao Mu uncultured, challenging Qiao Mus limits. Qiao Mu strode past the mother and daughter who were intimately linked and said, A well-educated person would never say that others are ill-educated. The two of you are really well-educated. Shu Xinyus expression was ugly. Ning Tongtong said angrily, Mom, look at this Qiao Mu. Why is she so rude?! Forget it. If we get angry, wont she get what she wants? Shu Xinyu spoke calmly, but her heart was in turmoil. Qiao Mus words brought up all the pain she had suffered many years ago. All those memories surged up and ruthlessly tormented her. Abandoning her own child But what did she do wrong? Why was Qiao Mu able to directly poke her fatal pain? This Qiao Mu was like her nemesis, always going against her! Shu Xinyu took out her wallet and rummaged through thepartment. However, the photo that was originally ced at the innermost part was gone. She rummaged through it but could not find it. Ning Tongtong watched from the side and asked in a low voice,Mom, what are you looking for? Im fine. Shu Xinyu kept the wallet. It was good that it was gone. It could make herpletely forget everything she had done! Ning Tongtongs eyes shed with a hint of ruthlessness. The photo was gone, but Shu Xinyu could still act as if nothing had happened. Clearly, the person in the photo was of no value to her. She was Shu Xinyus daughter. The others could forget about snatching her away! Earlier, she had secretly overheard Qiao Mu and Shu Xinyus conversation. Qiao Mu seemed to be deliberately targeting Shu Xinyus abandonment of the child, as if she knew something. Could it be that Qiao Mu already knew about her rtionship with Shu Xinyu? Chapter 855: It Was Qiao Mu Who Did Something Behind the Scenes Chapter 855: It Was Qiao Mu Who Did Something Behind the Scenes Ning Tongtongs initial guess became even more certain after seeing Qiao Mus reaction to Shu Xinyu. So what if Qiao Mu knew about Shu Xinyus rtionship with her? Shu Xinyu disliked Qiao Mu so much right now, and Qiao Mu was trash! Since it was trash, she didnt mind stomping on it and making it even more worthless! Ning Tongtong had been disqualified from the fashion show, but she was not in a hurry. She had already received Ji Lans help and made Ji Lan a model, so she firmly believed that her disqualification would be removed very soon. However, there was still no news from Ji Lan over the next few days. Ning Tongtong had gone to look for Ji Lan, but Ji Lan had only declined and said that she had already told Li Yan about it. She was not sure about the oue. Although Ning Tongtong was anxious and angry, she could only wait. Every time a fashion show ended, the list of participating designers would be released on the Inte. However, Ning Tongtong still did not appear for many days. Fortunately, there was no announcement of her disqualification. Therefore, Ning Tongtong could only rely on her Weibo to post photos of the Fashion Week venue and her busy work photos to prove that she had indeed participated in the Fashion Week. Later, a fashionista on Weibo revealed that Ning Tongtong did not participate in the Paris Fashion Show at all. The France Fashion Associations aim was to put an end to all pirated works and block giarists, so they would not ept Ning Tongtong, who was suspected of giarism.
Then, the Inte exploded. Ning Tongtongs temporary good image, which she had relied on the Paris fashion show to maintain, suddenly fell to rock bottom. Ning Tongtong was about to go crazy and could only remain silent. At this moment, Ji Lan took the initiative to look for Ning Tongtong and said apologetically,Miss Ning, I cant help you with this matter. Li Yan is in the country, and the matters abroad are not within his ability. We cant let him speciallye to Paris for such a matter, so I couldnt help you solve the matter in time and caused you trouble. Ji Lans attitude was sincere, and Ning Tongtong could not vent her anger. After all, she had to take into ount Ji Lans status. No matter how angry she was, she could not offend him. However, Ive heard some news, Ji Lan continued. Its impossible for your matter to be exposed for no reason. Qiao Mu must have done something behind this. Qiao Mu and Ye Nuan happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so they took the time to enjoy a local specialty meal from Paris. The two of them were eating and chatting happily when Ye Nuans phone rang. Ye Nuan nced at the caller ID and answered the call with a faint Hello. An unhappy voice sounded from the other end of the line. What are you talking about? Whats with your attitude? Youve been in Paris for a few days and you havent contacted me. Youre really heartless. Why should we contact each other? Ye Nuan asked in confusion. Ling Xi was instantly deted. She said angrily, Im your boyfriend! Isnt it just a name? She had always thought that they would not disturb each other except when they needed to contact each other. After all, they were not really boyfriend and girlfriend. Ling Xi took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger and asked coldly, Where? Im eating out. With who? Friend. What friend? Male or female? Ill send you to Paris. If you go behind my back Before Ling Xi could finish, Ye Nuan interrupted him. You know her. Shes Qiao Mu.
Chapter 856: Don’t Run Away With The Foreigner Chapter 856: Dont Run Away With The Foreigner When Qiao Mu heard her name, she looked at Ye Nuan, wondering who she was talking to on the phone. When Ling Xi heard that it was Qiao Mu, he replied with an oh and said, Alright then, before hanging up. Seeing Ye Nuan put away her phone, Qiao Mu asked curiously, Who called you? Do you know me? Before Ye Nuan could say anything, Qiao Mus phone rang. It was an unknown number in the country. Qiao Mu picked up the call and heard Ling Xi call out respectfully, Sister-inw, are you eating? Qiao Mu was speechless. What kind of wind was this? Not only did Young Master Ling take the initiative to contact her, but his attitude was also so friendly. How did you know I was eating? Qiao Mu asked. Your sister-inw told me. Sister-inw Qiao Mu couldnt help but nce at Ye Nuan across from her. She was stunned for a second before blinking in surprise.
So, what do you want to do by calling me? Qiao Mu asked indifferently. Its nothing. I just want Sister-inw to be able to disy her abilities as a sister-inw. Help me keep an eye on Ye Nuan. Ill send her to Paris. If she runs away with the foreigner, wont I suffer a huge loss? Are you sure its really Sister-inw? Of course! The girlfriend that he was dealing with was still his girlfriend. He had always been a responsible person. Qiao Mu somewhat understood. Ye Nuan said that she relied on her connections toe to the Paris fashion show, but it turned out that Ling Xi had helped her. How did these two get together? So, you want me to monitor Ye Nuan? Qiao Mu asked indifferently. Ye Nuans hand that was holding the fork paused for a moment, and she raised her head to meet Qiao Mus smiling face. Ling Xi exploded on the other end of the phone. Who told you to say it? If she finds out, shell think that I care about her! I just dont want to do a losing business. Sorry, Im very busy. I dont have time to talk to you. Qiao Mu immediately hung up the phone and said to Ye Nuan, Its Ling Xi. Allow me to gossip. Are you two together? Ye Nuan shook her head. You might look down on me if I tell you, but Im only with Ling Xi because of his power. Im his girlfriend in name, but Im not really his girlfriend. He helped me with my career, and we both got what we needed. Qiao Mu was stunned. She didnt expect that to be the case. She had been very happy just now, thinking that the two of them had developed feelings for each other. After all, she liked Ye Nuan very much. However, if she was just a girlfriend on the surface, why would Ling Xi let her monitor her? It was obviously not that simple. She recalled what Ye Nuan had said before, that this industry was very messy, and if one didnt have a backer, it would be very difficult for them to gain a foothold. Actually, she could totally understand. She had always had Li Yan as her backer, so she would still be bullied sometimes. Besides, Ling Xi was willing to fight and she was willing to take it. What did she have to object to? Qiao Mu did not think much of it. Why should I look down on you? If I look down on you, Im looking down on myself. Ive also relied on Li Yans influence quite a bit. Ye Nuan smiled. Youre different from me. You two have feelings for each other. Besides, youre already very good. Youve never used Li Yan to show off to others. Your works didnt be popr because of Li Yan. Qiao Mu loved hearing this. After all, she was a hardworking person. Ye Nuan thought about it and asked again, Since youre done gossiping, allow me to be curious. Is Ji Lan really Li Yans fiance?
Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu was stunned at first. When she met Ye Nuans worried gaze, she burst outughing. Youre thinking too much. I wont be a third party. That was just a scandal that Ji Lan directed and acted out. Ye Nuan smiled awkwardly. I knew it. So rumors are scary. Many people believe that its true. Dont you care? Chapter 857: Falling for Ning Tongtong’s Tricks Chapter 857: Falling for Ning Tongtongs Tricks Its okay. Its normal for others to want to snatch such a good man. As long as I dont let go, no one can snatch him away. As long as she didnt let go. Even if they were thousands of miles apart, she would not let go. Even if she felt uneasy and wronged, she still had to remain calm. Ye Nuan looked at Qiao Mus energetic and confident expression. Perhaps only good girls could obtain happiness. A woman like her who only knew how to use a mans power would never obtain a mans true love. After the meal, Qiao Mu held Ye Nuans arm and left the dining room. She joked, So, youre my sister-inw now? Ling Xi asked me to take good care of you. I will definitely fulfill my duty as sister-inw. Ye Nuanughed. You want to spy on me? Then can I bribe you? Qiao Mu was still smiling when a figure suddenly pounced toward her. Before she could react, she would have been knocked down by the person if not for Ye Nuan pulling her. Immediately after, a furious roar was heard. Qiao Mu, youre the one who spread the news that I didnt attend the Paris fashion show, right? You heartless woman, you want to kill me? Since thats the case, dont even think about being free! Immediately after, Ning Tongtong pounced over again. She was aggressive and waved her arms like a shrew. If Qiao Mu did not resist, she would be beaten up by Ning Tongtong. She could not care less and kicked Ning Tongtong away.
Ning Tongtong fell to the ground. Then, Ning Tongtong fell to the ground. She looked very miserable and did not get up. Qiao Mu pulled Ye Nuan away and smiled apologetically at her. Its too dangerous to be with me, and there are too many enemies. I think you should be the one taking care of me as my sister-inw. Ye Nuan was helpless. Youre a hater, arent you? What happened to Ning Tongtong? What did you do to her? Im confused now. She was disqualified by the Fashion Association and med it on me. In her eyes, everything was my fault and she was the victim. Ye Nuan thought about it and felt that something was wrong. Ning Tongtong was throwing a tantrum on the street in broad daylight, and she didnt even see you. How could she just let it go? Maybe he was agitated. Qiao Mu did not pay much attention to this matter. After all, it was not surprising for Ning Tongtong to do anything crazy. However, an hourter, Qiao Mu realized that she was still too careless. She went to Weibo to check on Ning Tongtongs news, but she saw a new piece of news. A reporter posted a set of photos. This reporter was a street reporter from a domestic media outlet in Paris. The nine pictures were of Ning Tongtong being kicked by her and falling to the ground. The first part of Ning Tongtongs attack on her was not taken, so everyone would think that she had used violence on Ning Tongtong. The headline of Ning Tongtong deceivingizens to attend the Paris fashion show was instantly covered by this message. Qiao Mu was furious. Ning Tongtongs public rtions were really good, catching her off guard! No wonder Ning Tongtong lost control and rushed to her to make a scene. In the past, Ning Tongtong had always done bad things in private, afraid that others would see her disgusting face. She did not expect to be tricked! Key walked over and asked with a dark face, Whats going on? Qiao Mu hurriedly exined the situation to Key and lowered her head. Teacher Key, I was wrong. I didnt think too much at that time. When I saw her pouncing over, I gave her a kick. I should have calmed down. Chapter 858: Sacrificing Everything to Destroy Qiao Mu Chapter 858: Sacrificing Everything to Destroy Qiao Mu Key frowned. Theres nothing wrong with your subconscious counterattack, but Qiao Mu, you have to remember that youre already a public figure now, especially in Paris. Fashion Week is still ongoing, so you have to take your image into consideration. You represent Key brand, and if you have negative news, it will affect our fashion show. Then what should we do now? Qiao Mu knew that if she denied it without evidence, the outside world would not believe her. Key pondered for a moment and said, Ill contact the reporter who took the photos. Ning Tongtong has given him so many benefits. We can only use double the benefits to see if we can get all the photos. Theres no need to respond to this matter for now. In the hospital, Ning Tongtong was bandaging her wound. The doctor was applying medicine. Ning Tongtong was in excruciating pain. In order to turn the tables, she had hardened her heart. Obviously, this trick of hurting herself was very effective. Of course, Qiao Mu did not have the strength to inflict such a serious injury on her. When she fell to the ground, she deliberately rubbed her arm against the ground. Not only did she receive sympathy from others, but she also made Qiao Mu the scapegoat! Shu Xinyu looked at Ning Tongtongs bloody arm with heartache. She said, We cant just let this matter go. Were going to sue Qiao Mu for personal injury! Ning Tongtong frowned in pain. Forget it, Mom. I have too much negative news now. I dont want others to say that Im creating hype. If she really sued and got the evidence, wouldnt she be notorious? Therefore, it was best for her to stop!
After leaving the hospital, Shu Xinyu still insisted on suing Qiao Mu, so Ning Tongtong could only confess to Shu Xinyu. Mom, I was the one who pounced on Qiao Mu first. Qiao Mu bribed a fashionista on Weibo to publicize my disqualification from the fashion show, so she went to argue with her in a fit of anger. I was a little out of control at that time, but I didnt expect her to hit me so hard. When Ning Tongtong said this, Shu Xinyus hatred for Qiao Mu grew even more. Since were not suing her, we cant let her off the hook! Then, Shu Xinyu posted on Weibo and publicized Ning Tongtongs badly mutted photo. She yed the role of a mother who felt sorry for her child to gain sympathy from everyone and portrayed Ning Tongtong as a pitiful victim, making Qiao Mus crime even heavier. After Ning Tongtong and Shu Xinyu parted ways, they sneaked into a hotel. He knocked on the door of a room. Soon, a middle-aged man in a bathrobe opened the door. When he saw Ning Tongtong, the man smiled wretchedly and dragged Ning Tongtong into the house. Miss Ning, Ive been waiting for you. Ive already done what I did for you. Its time for you to fulfill your promise. Ning Tongtong smiled and pushed the man away. Director Yang, dont be anxious. Look, Im already injured. Can we wait a few days before Your arms and hands arent affected. Hurry up and go to the bathroom to wash up. If Miss Ning doesnt fulfill her promise now, I can only assume that you broke the contract first. You should know what the oue will be. The man couldnt wait. Ning Tongtong was extremely disgusted, but she had no choice but to listen. In order to achieve her goal, she did not hesitate to offer her most precious body to the director of a certain mediapany, asking him to help take photos and spread the news. She knew that if she used money to hire someone else, Qiao Mu would use double the price to buy the negatives. Hence, she could only exchange for things that money could not buy! In order to defeat Qiao Mu and preserve her image, she did not hesitate to sacrifice everything! The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. The man outside was a little impatient. Suddenly, his phone rang and he answered the call impatiently. Who is it? Im very busy. Dont disturb me Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the other party. Director Yang, Im Li Yan. Chapter 859: How Dare You Touch My People? Aren’t You Courting Death? Chapter 859: How Dare You Touch My People? Arent You Courting Death? It was alreadyte at night in the capital. Li Yan raised his phone to his ear and browsed through the overwhelming news on Weibo. At the same time, he heard the unhappy voice on the other end of the phone. He interrupted coldly, Director Yang, Im Li Yan. As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, the tone on the other end of the phone immediately changed. He lowered his voice and said,President Li, whats the matter? Why did you call me personally? Li Yan snorted coldly and said in a sinister tone, Director Yang, Global Fashion is really amazing. You even dare to use your methods on my people. Yang Yue was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat. President Li, I dont know how I offended you. Please tell me directly Ning Tongtongs incident was exposed by yourpanys media reporters. You know about this, right? Yang Yue was shocked. So Li Yan was here for this matter. How could he not know about this matter? He was the one who orchestrated this. He had heard that Qiao Mu and Li Yans fiance were not on good terms, so when Ning Tongtong asked him to do this, he readily agreed, thinking that he might be able to gain Li Yans favor. Did he do something wrong? Or was Li Yan very satisfied with what he had done and wanted to invest in his mediapany? In that case, he would have made a killing!
Yang Yue smiled ingratiatingly. President Li, I asked someone to arrange this. That Qiao Mu was very arrogant at Paris Fashion Week and offended someone, so Ning Tongtong wanted me to destroy her. I only gave her a small blow. If President Li needs it, I can still No need, Director Yang. Yourpany will be destroyed soon. Yang Yue widened his eyes in shock. President Li, did I do something wrong? Im stupid and dont know how to do things. Please exin it to me. Li Yans sinister voice rang out word by word, Qiao Mu is my person. If you dare to touch my person, arent you courting death? Yang Yue was speechless. Qiao Mu was Li Yans subordinate! If Yang Yue had known beforehand that Qiao Mu was Li Yans subordinate, he would never have helped Ning Tongtong frame Qiao Mu! Yang Yue immediately realized that he had done something very stupid. He apologized to Li Yan in a low voice and said solemnly, President Li, please give me a chance. I wont let your people suffer. You have to believe in us media people. We can turn a white into a ck, and we can also turn a ck into a white in an instant. As for the person who targeted Miss Qiao, I will make her pay double the price! Li Yans tone changed. He sounded like he was smiling, but it was full of a sense of coldness. Then Ill wait to see Director Yangs sincerity. I believe that Director Yang will definitely satisfy me. Yes, yes. Dont worry, President Li! Li Yan hung up the phone. When he turned to look at theputer screen, his eyes were dark and scary. He could leave Shu Xinyu alone, but as for Ning Tongtong, he would not give her another chance to turn the tables! In the Paris hotel, Yang Yue put down his phone and wiped the thinyer of cold sweat on his forehead. He felt weak all over. He almost got into big trouble! Ning Tongtong actually dared to lie to him and drag him down with her! Since that was the case, he could only avenge Li Yan on Ning Tongtong! At this moment, Ning Tongtong came out of the bathroom. After all, she was young and her figure was not fake. Yang Yues interest was piqued again. If a woman took the initiative toe to him, how could he refuse? He would take advantage of her first. He would talk about the futureter!
After that, Yang Yueughed wretchedly and pounced towards Ning Tongtong [I just came back from my hometown at night, so the update will bete. Suying only let Ning Tongtong gain power for two chapters, and thats all shes got.] Chapter 860: Ning Tongtong’s Face Slapping (1) Chapter 860: Ning Tongtongs Face pping (1) Although it wasnt the first time Ning Tongtong had given herself to such a disgusting man, both her heart and body couldnt ept it. She was tortured alive for two hours in the hotel. Every minute, every second, and every pain reminded her that all of this was Qiao Mus fault! If it were not for Qiao Mu, she would not have needed to be so despicable, bing so dirty in order to achieve her goal by any means necessary! Why did Qiao Mu exist in this world?! After that, Ning Tongtong looked at Yang Yue. Our deal is done. Ill leave the rest to Director Yang. Dont worry, I wont go back on my word. Yang Yueughed. However, just as Ning Tongtong left, Yang Yue picked up his phone and made a call. At this time, Key was looking for public rtions to resolve this matter. He had gone to look for Yang Yue, but Yang Yues attitude was firm. He would only reveal the true news. He said that the reporters had only taken the part of the photos that had been exposed. They did not know anything about what had happened before. In short, no matter how much Key offered, they refused to sell the original photos to Key.
Just as Key was thinking of a solution, his phone rang. It was Yang Yue. The call went through, and Yang Yue smiled in a friendly manner. Key, you came to me this morning to ask for the photos of Qiao Mu and Ning Tongtongs argument. I didnt have the photos at that time, so I didnt know the whole story. I checked the photos just now and realized that the incident that happened before those photos were taken. Youll definitely need it. Ill get my assistant to send the photos and videos to your email. Director Yang, please state your price, Key said in a deep voice. Dont, Key. Youre using us wrongly. Our mediapany only reveals the truth. This time, it was the negligence of our subordinates. They casually posted the photos sent by others as the headlines. Ive already strictly disciplined them. This wont happen again. Throughout the day, Yang Yues attitude in the morning and afternoon waspletely different. Since the other party did not want to expose him, Key only responded, Thank you, Director Yang. I will definitely thank you in the future. You dont have to thank me. This is what I should do. I just hope that Miss Qiao can put in a good word for me in front of President Li. We really didnt do it on purpose. Key immediately understood that it was Li Yan who had stepped in. Key didnt say anything else and hung up the phone. Key received an email. Sure enough, it was a video and a photo, recording everything from beginning to end. The Inte was indeed a ce where things changed rapidly. Just now, Ning Tongtong was violently attacked by Qiao Mu, and Shu Xinyu posted on Weibo to defend her daughter, dering that she wanted to sue Qiao Mu for intentional bodily harm. This news caused a sensation on Weibo for three hours and instantly became the headline of Weibo. However, in the blink of an eye, someone revealed thetest video and directly covered the previous news. It turned out that Qiao Mu did not attack Ning Tongtong on purpose. She was just defending herself! It was Ning Tongtong who had charged at Qiao Mu first. Ning Tongtongs expression and actions were clearly captured. She was vicious, savage, and crazy as she swung her arms at Qiao Mu. From her actions, one could tell how ruthless she was. Fortunately, Qiao Mu was d that the person beside her pulled her back and dodged the bullet. Otherwise, this punch would havended solidly on Qiao Mus body. In the end, it was proven that Qiao Mu was the victim. Ning Tongtongs pictures were simply taken out of context! Chapter 861: Ning Tongtong’s Face Slapping (2) Chapter 861: Ning Tongtongs Face pping (2) In an instant, the situation changed drastically, shocking theizens and making it difficult for them to digest it. Manyizens doubted the authenticity of the matter and did not know which side to believe. Some people stood on Ning Tongtongs side. After all, Ning Tongtong was the victim in the end. She was seriously injured and gained a lot of sympathy. However, since the video was there, more people were biased towards Qiao Mu and thought that Ning Tongtong was two-faced. She clearly looked gentle on the surface, but she had a very vicious side. For a moment, the Inte exploded. At this moment, Qiao Mu was quietly scrolling through Weibo. The news that had been criticizing her before had instantly turned into scolding Ning Tongtong. Most of thements were in support of her. This matter had finally been resolved. Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief and expressed her gratitude to Key. Thank you, Teacher Key. Youve helped me resolve the trouble I caused again this time. Key said calmly, Qiao Mu, Im not the one you should thank. I didnt solve this problem. The person behind it was Li Yan. Qiao Mu was stunned. So it was Li Yan.
That man had been paying attention to her news. Ever since he called her that night, they had not contacted each other. She always thought that he would call her again, but every time she waited, it was in vain. Fortunately, she was busy and did not have much time to think about him. Previously, he had always thought that she would not be able to stand not contacting him for a day. Even if they were not together, they had never stopped calling and texting each other. There were even times when they had not contacted each other for a few days. However, she knew that Li Yan had always been concerned about her. Qiao Mu shook her head. Now was not the time to think about this. Teacher Key, what else do I need to do after this? Qiao Mu asked Key. Keep silent? Ive already arranged everything for you. This matter will have a huge impact in Paris and the country. With the backing of Paris Fashion Week, the hype will be doubled with half the effort. I want you to use this trend to counterattack Ning Tongtong. Qiao Mu nodded, and then Key continued, First of all, you need to register a new Weibo user. Ill get the officials to verify your identity and officiallyunch you as a designer under the Key brand. Qiao Mu frowned slightly. Key teacher, I love this career, but I dont want to be famous, and I dont want to use the poprity created by Ning Tongtong to promote myself. Qiao Mu, you have to be clear that your goal is to be an international designer. If you want to make a name for yourself, you have to make people remember you and your work. In the future, when your work is recognized, you will slowly build your own fan club to support your work, just like how you are doing now. Key was already a very popr public figure. As a model and designer, almost everyone in the industry knew about him. Not only did Key have its own design team, but it also had its own fan team. Therefore, whenever Key released a new product, loyal fans would immediately follow the clothes designed by their favorite designers. In this industry, sales were very important. Qiao Mu felt that Keys words made sense, so she could only do as he said. C At the same time, Ning Tongtong had just left the hotel. She switched off her phone and logged into Weibo. The number of reposts andments on Weibo was unbearable to look at. It had never been so popr before. Ning Tongtong was very proud of herself. Presumably, everyone was concerned about her. Ning Tongtong didnt look at thements and sent a new message: Your injuries are no longer a problem. Violent people will definitely be punished.
Chapter 862: Ning Tongtong’s Face Slapping (3) Chapter 862: Ning Tongtongs Face pping (3) After thetest post was sent out, the number ofments instantly increased. Ning Tongtong felt that all the gloominess from before had dissipated. She had sacrificed so much in exchange for such poprity. It was worth it. As she was thinking about it, she casually opened thements. And thenHe saw an overwhelming amount of information. Ning Tongtong, you bitch! You still have the face toe out? Hurry up and hide. Dont embarrass yourself! Youre the violent one. Youre the one who should be punished! Get lost! Donte out and disgust us. Let us sympathize for nothing. [Ning slut, you really put on a good show. We were almost fooled by you. Youre disgusting. Just die!] C Exactly, people like you live to cause harm to others! ..
Ning Tongtong was stunned by the overwhelming insults and stood rooted to the ground. How could this be? She was clearly the victim, but why was everyone scolding her? Ning Tongtong hurriedly scrolled through Weibo and finally saw the topic that was already at the top of the trending searches-the truth behind Ning Tongtongs attack on Qiao Mu. Ning Tongtongs mind went nk. She clicked on the video and opened it. Her face instantly turned pale. She must be dreaming. The angle of this video was indeed taken by Yang Yue. Yang Yue would never betray her. He had clearly reached an agreement with her just now! But why was the video exposed? Ning Tongtong identally saw Global Fashions official WeChat and officially apologized to the public. She said that the photos were sent to them byizens and that they had not been verified before they disappeared. It was their mistake. In an instant, Ning Tongtong felt like she was going crazy. She quickly dialed Yang Yues number, and the man on the other end of the phone picked up the phone as if nothing had happened. Yang Yue, what do you mean? You just got what you wanted, and now youre betraying me? Ning Tongtong lost control of her emotions and shouted into the phone. Yang Yue yed dumb. Whats wrong? What betray you? Dont pretend with me! Your official Weibo ount is starting to get rid of responsibility. You were the one in charge of this matter. Now that it has be like this, how are you going to resolve it? Miss Ning, I agreed to work for you. Weve made an equivalent exchange. The matter has already beenpleted. If theres trouble in the future, I can only escape and protect myself. What did you say? Youre telling me this now. Just now, you Yang Yue, dont you dare turn your back on me after taking advantage of me! Ning Tongtong was about to explode. Yang Yue sneered. Taking advantage of you? When did this happen? I forgot about it. You ! Arent you afraid that Ill expose this matter? I dont have an image now, so dont even think about protecting yourself. Youd better think of a way to solve this! If you dont want face anymore, then confess everything youve done to others. Im sure everyone will be very interested in how you used your body to make a deal and how you framed Qiao Mu, right? Ning Tongtong felt as if the sky was about to copse. Her actions had been exposed, and she had even sacrificed her body for nothing! She had sacrificed everything she could. She thought that it was worth it to exchange for Qiao Mus destruction, but in the end, the one who was destroyed was herself!
At this moment, a group of fashion show organizers rushed over and surrounded Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong stood stiffly in the crowd and could not react. Ning Tongtong, is the video online real? Please respond. What did you mean by that Weibo post just now? The video has already been released, yet youre still saying that Qiao Mu is a violent person, but you were clearly the one who attacked others first! Ning Tongtong, do you have anything to exin?
Chapter 863: Ning Tongtong’s Face Slapping (4) Chapter 863: Ning Tongtongs Face pping (4) Ning Tongtongs expression was stiff when she was questioned by the reporters. She could not even put on a fake smile. This time, she was really done for! No! She couldnt admit it. She absolutely couldnt! Ning Tongtong, if you dont say anything, does that mean youre tacitly agreeing? No words to exin? Ning Tongtong finally reacted. She covered her face with her hand. Stop patting Stop filming! The reporter: Ning Tongtong, we still need you to give us an exnation. We wont be filming anymore. I believe that at this time, everyone needs an exnation! Ning Tongtong Ning Tongtong The reporters words made Ning Tongtong lose controlpletely. Ah
Suddenly, Ning Tongtong screamed and covered her head. She crouched down in panic. The reporters were all shocked. They stared at Ning Tongtong in shock. Ning Tongtong kept shouting, Stop filming, stop filming, stop filming! Shu Xinyu squeezed in front of Ning Tongtong and hugged her. She looked at the reporters coldly. Do you still have any humanity? Shes injured and cant withstand your threats. Regarding this matter, well hold a press conferenceter. You can ask as many questions as you want! Now, please let the patient rest for a while. Shu Xinyu helped Ning Tongtong, who had lost control of her emotions, into the hotel. She then helped Ning Tongtong into her room to rest. When she left the room, she happened to bump into Qiao Mu. Qiao Mus room happened to be on the same floor as Ning Tongtongs. She stood at the door and rummaged through her bag for her room card when Shu Xinyu passed by. Qiao Mu could feel Shu Xinyus gaze on her, which was filled with rage from the inside out. It was as if everything Ning Tongtong was in now was caused by her. Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mu coldly. Qiao Mu, let me tell you, I wont let off anyone who tries to harm my daughter! Madam Shu, please understand that Ning Tongtong isnt the only one who has someone protecting her. You want to protect her, but there are also people who want to protect me. Therefore, those who bully me wont have a good ending, just like Ning Tongtong now! Qiao Mu said coldly and took out the room card from her bag. Just as she opened the door, she realized that something had fallen from her bag andnded beside her feet. Shu Xinyus face darkened. She suddenly saw the photo by Qiao Mus feet and frowned. She snatched the photo over. Qiao Mu, you stole my photo? Qiao Mu was stunned. What did you say? This is my photo. It disappeared not long ago. I put it in my wallet. Why is it with you? After Shu Xinyu finished speaking, she immediately came to a conclusion. Qiao Mu, your hand reached into my bag? What did you steal from me? At this moment, Qiao Mu stood rooted to the ground in a daze, her mind still lingering on Shu Xinyus words. This is my photo. Why do you have it If Qiao Mu had held onto a sliver of hope before, thinking that her rtionship with Shu Xinyu was just a coincidence and that there was no conclusive evidence, after hearing Shu Xinyus words, she couldnt even lie to herself and deny it. It really was Shu Xinyu! Shu Xinyu was still furiously questioning Qiao Mu, but Qiao Mu calmly retracted her gaze. I picked up this photo. Since its yours, you can take it. Shu Xinyu wasnt done yet, and Qiao Mu didnt want to continue speaking. She opened the door and entered the house, directly shutting Shu Xinyu outside. Qiao Mu leaned against the door and slid down bit by bit, burying her face in her knees. Even though she had defeated Ning Tongtong andpletely flipped over, she really couldnt feel happy.
Chapter 864: Does Li Yan Have a New Target? Chapter 864: Does Li Yan Have a New Target? Even if Ning Tongtong had lost everything, she had only won against Shu Xinyu! Shu Xinyu was really hers Qiao Mu shook her head vigorously. She did not want to admit it! Qiao Mu bit her lip, took out her phone, and sent Li Yan a message.Uncle, I miss you. She missed him! She wanted to see him! She needed his embrace andfort. Why couldnt he be by her side when her heart ached? C At this moment, Li Yan had already boarded the ne to Paris.
After working for half a month, he finally finished his work. After getting on the ne, he began to catch up on sleep because after getting off the ne, there would be another big project. Next, he was going to prepare a big surprise for her. He thought that the little woman would be overjoyed to see him. After being separated for half a month, he had too many thoughts and too many things to tell her. It was also because of this period of separation that he was able to calmly think about what was most important to him. Qiao Mu waited for an entire night, but she did not receive a reply from Li Yan. Her heart sank, and she finally mustered up the courage to call him, only to be reminded that the other party could not get through. Qiao Mu refused to give up and called Lei Yi to ask about Li Yans situation. Lei Yi stammered, Miss Qiao, the CEO is supervising the factory. The factory has to shut down its power. But he didnt reply to my messages all night. The president is very busy right now and doesnt even have time to sleep. He might be looking for a ce to sleep in the factory. I hope Miss Qiao can understand the president. Qiao Mu frowned. Assistant Lei Te, tell me honestly. Does Li Yan have a new target? So, he didnt want her anymore. Lei Yis mouth twitched. He didnt want to ruin Young Master Lis ns, so he said, Miss Qiao, dont think too much about it. I might as well tell you that Ive been by the CEOs side for so many years. Youre his only woman. I believe that youll continue to be the same in the future. Qiao Mu sighed. She knew that she was Li Yans only woman, but she had fallen ill from being neglected, and her imagination would run wild. When Qiao Mu passed by the hotel lobby, Li Yans figure suddenly appeared on the huge disy screen. She thought that she had gone crazy thinking about Li Yan and was hallucinating. However, when she saw the contents on the screen, she was stunned. Lis LSA-Enterprise, acquired Qiaos Enterprise and made Qiaos Enterprise a subsidiary. The twopanies officially merged yesterday. Qiao Mu stared at the global news in a daze. The Li Corporation had acquired the Qiao Corporation? This piece of news was like a bomb that exploded above Qiao Mus head without any warning. She suddenly remembered that Ning Tongtong had said before that Li Yan was using her for the Qiao Corporation. At that time, she did not take it seriously. How could Li Yan be interested in the Qiao Corporation? Back then, he had snatched back what Yu Yiduo deserved for the Yu Corporation. Then why was he buying over the Qiao Corporation now?
Why didnt she get any information beforehand? Qiao Mu hurriedly called Qiao Jiannan, but he did not pick up. She then sent a message to Qiao Jiannan to ask him what was going on! The weight on her heart had been heavy enough recently. Dont give her another blow. She really wanted to know the truth, but she was worried that the truth would make her unable to ept it.
If Li Yan really No! It was absolutely impossible! Qiao Mu felt that she was bing more and more worried about her own gains and losses. She actually suspected Li Yans motive for approaching her. Chapter 865: A Lifetime Deal Chapter 865: A Lifetime Deal Qiao Mu took a deep breath and calmed the nervousness in her heart. She had been with Li Yan for so long and had experienced too many things. If she did not even have this little bit of trust, then what right did she have to have Li Yans feelings? At this moment, Li Yan had just gotten off the ne, and Superintendent Ouyang hade to pick him up. Ouyang was called to Paris by Li Yan in advance. Lei Yi was too busy in the domesticpany, so when Li Yan went abroad, Ouyang followed him most of the time. They left the airport and headed to the parking lot. Li Yan walked in front while Superintendent Ouyang followed behind. She reported,Boss, the helicopter and venue that you asked me to prepare are ready. You booked the entire beach. Are you going to discuss some important business? Li Yan remained calm. Yes, it is very important. Superintendent Ouyang was surprised to hear the word very important from Li Yans mouth. Li Yan did not pay so much attention to a business that was worth tens of millions. Since it was so important, why didnt he inform him in advance so that he could be fully prepared? Superintendent Ouyang was curious. What business is so important? How much is it worth? A sky-high price! Li Yan spat out coldly. This transaction was priceless. He had spent his entire life in exchange for a womans lifelong happiness. Ouyang was speechless. If he couldnt even give an urate number, then it was really important! After thinking for a while, Superintendent Ouyang was a little worried. Boss, you didnt ask me to prepare anything. If I mess things up, I wont be able to bear the responsibility! Li Yan stopped in his tracks and turned around to nce at Ouyang. You really cant afford it. If you screw this up, youll have to collect your own corpse. Ouyang was speechless. Heavens! Did it have to be so serious! Boss Li didnt look like he was joking at all. Besides, he was already dead. How could he collect his corpse? Pei, pei, pei, he didnt want to die! Then what should I do now? Ouyang asked tactfully. Boss, just tell me what to do. In order not to collect my corpse, I will definitely do it well! Li Yan got into the car and leaned back in his seat. He instructed calmly,Send two trucks of roses over overnight. I want to use them. Rose? Superintendent Ouyang felt that there was something wrong with her hearing and confirmed again. Boss, are you sure youre talking about roses? And not some secret weapon code called Rose? He had never heard of this secret code before! After Ouyang finished speaking, Li Yan red at him coldly. Is there something wrong with your head? Why do I need you to prepare weapons? You want to use violence? I thought that I would have to make a move if the business deal failed Superintendent Ouyang said subconsciously. This was their motto. If they could not reach a deal with words, they would use force to make the other party convinced. Thinking of this, Superintendent Ouyang suddenly realized that what they were facing now was not a deal with an underground organization, but a fair and aboveboard deal betweenpanies. Therefore, violence was absolutely not allowed. So, what kind of business was it that required two trucks of roses? Li Yan could not be bothered to exin to his underling who had abnormal brain circuits. However, if he did not exin, he was worried that Superintendent Ouyang would not understand what he meant. He could only say coldly and throw out four words from his thin lips,I want to propose. I want to proposeSuperintendent Ouyang, who was driving, was greatly shocked when she heard this. Then, she mmed on the brakes, causing Li Yan to fall behind her. Chapter 866: Li Yan Wants to Propose Chapter 866: Li Yan Wants to Propose Ouyang, are you courting death? Li Yan saw Superintendent Ouyangs shocked expression in the rearview mirror and was instantly enraged! What kind of expression was that? It was as if she had heard that he was going to propose, as if she had heard that a world war was about to begin. Superintendent Ouyang suddenly reacted and coughed awkwardly. Boss, I didnt mean anything else. I just heard such shocking news and couldnt digest it for a while. Im so happy for you. Im too happy, really! Superintendent Ouyang kept exining. She finally regained herposure and continued driving. It was so scary. Boss Li was going to propose! Propose! With whom? Hmph! Li Yan snorted coldly. If you screw this up, youll have to bear the consequences. Ouyang was speechless. He wasnt the one who proposed, so it wasnt within his ability. Most importantly, whether the proposal was sessful or not depended on the person who proposed. If the other party refused and directly rejected Boss Li, wouldnt he have to bear the responsibility?
Superintendent Ouyang suddenly thought of something. Boss, who is Sister-inw? As soon as he said that, he felt a certain mans cold gaze sweep over, making his back turn cold. Do you have many sisters-inw? the man asked. Ouyang was speechless. Heavens, he said the wrong thing again! Superintendent Ouyang chuckled. Boss is loyal. Of course, I only have one sister-inw. Youre my future role model. I must learn from you! His ttery had a slight effect, and Li Yan did not argue with him anymore. Li Yans gaze shifted to the outside of the car. Many people dressed luxuriously were taking photos on the streets. He turned on his phone and opened the map that tracked Qiao Mus location. Only then did he realize that he was overseas and the Inte was not online. After he connected to the inte, his phone rang and he saw a message from Qiao Mu. Uncle, I miss you. These few simple words made Li Yans heart palpitate. The sentence I miss you seemed to contain all the emotions. She missed him, but he missed her too. Li Yan opened the map and gave Superintendent Ouyang a location. Superintendent Ouyang immediately drove over. Ten minutester, Li Yan saw that he was getting closer and closer to the red dot on the map. He looked out of the car and saw a familiar figure in front of him. Stop the car! Li Yan said immediately, and the car stopped. Superintendent Ouyang was about to get out of the car to open the door for Li Yan when she saw the man behind her through the rearview mirror. His gaze was fixed on the outside of the car and he had no intention of getting out of the car. Superintendent Ouyang looked over and saw people in the crowd. Boss Lis proposal partner!
Boss Li came all the way here just to propose marriage? This news was indeed shocking. ording to Lei Yi, Li Yan had worked hard for the first half of the month. He treated one day as two days just to finish his work and rush to Paris. He had thought that there was something important going on here, but it turned out that it was just to deal with personal matters.
However, she had already seen him sitting in the car, looking at the people outside the car affectionately. He did not get out of the car. Could it be that a nce would satisfy her craving? Should he get out of the car? How could Li Yan not want to get out of the car immediately and pull his little woman into his arms? Although he could not control his longing for her every time they parted ways, this time, it was more torturous than any other time. He wanted to rush out of the car immediately and pull his little woman into his arms! However, he had endured for so long just to give her a surprise. How could hee to this step and break the n? Chapter 867: We Will Meet Soon Chapter 867: We Will Meet Soon In the crowd, Qiao Mu was tidying up the clothes of the model for the shoot. She was chatting with the model while nodding in response to the photographer beside her. When the model started shooting, she went to another model and worked non-stop. Her expression was so focused that she had gotten rid of her usual mischievous behavior in front of him. Her every move was practiced and professional. There was a smile on her face, and she was natural and graceful. After not seeing her for a few days, his little woman seemed to have be even more charming. At this moment, not only did all his longing not dissipate, it became even stronger. He was only ten meters away from her, but he could not touch her. Looking at the little figure walking back and forth, Li Yan took out his phone and replied to her message.Yes, I miss you too. Well meet soon. At this moment, Qiao Mu was so busy that her head was spinning. Only when she got busy could she temporarily forget the sadness of not being able to contact Li Yan. She had to finish all the filming work for the outdoor costumes that she was responsible for today. The first half of the Paris Fashion Magazine was going to be published in a hurry, and all the clothes of the Key brand were going to be published. At this moment, the phone in her pocket vibrated. Perhaps she had been expecting something, but the phone reacted slightly, so she subconsciously took it out. When she opened WeChat and saw Li Yans reply, all the anxiety in her heart seemed to have been soothed. This man finally responded to her!
He said that they would meet soon. The corners of Qiao Mus lips curled up. Thats right, half of the Fashion Week had already passed, and she would return to China very soon. Qiao Mu did not think too much about it. She looked at Li Yans message and did not know what to reply. She wanted to ask him about the Qiao Corporation, what he had done, and why he had taken so long to contact her. She had so much to say, but she didnt know how to start. The message could not express her feelings at all. She opened her address book and prepared to call him back. At this moment, Ye Nuan patted Qiao Mus shoulder. Teacher Key wants you to go over for a while. Ive finished filming here, so you dont have to stay here. Qiao Mu nodded and nced at the number that had yet to be dialed. She could only put her phone away and go to the office opposite to look for the KEY. When Qiao Mu walked to the side of the road, she saw a car swaggering around. She swept her gaze over it, but she couldnt see the person in the car, so she ignored it and walked away. At this moment, Li Yan was sitting in the car, his gaze following Qiao Mus movements as she walked past the car. He watched as she slowly approached and then slowly walked away. He felt a little disappointed and a little annoyed. She did not reply to his message and acted as if nothing had happened. She even said that she missed him. He thought that she must have forgotten about him! Li Yan only retracted his gaze when Qiao Mus figure disappeared from his sight. Lets go. said Li Yan. Superintendent Ouyang was stunned. Boss, arent you going to get out of the car to catch up with Sister-inw? Li Yan red at Superintendent Ouyang. Superintendent Ouyang quickly reacted. I know, Boss. You want to give Sister-inw a surprise! Boss, youre really a role model among men. How romantic can a proposal be! Superintendent Ouyang wanted to tter him, but he failed and was red at by Li Yan again. He didnt know what he had said wrong. Boss Li was bing more and more unpredictable. Of course, Superintendent Ouyang did not know that Li Yan had proposed to Qiao Mu once before, but Qiao Mu had always despised him. This time, he had used all his romantic cells to give Qiao Mu a surprise.
Chapter 868: You See Me When You Close Your Eyes and Open Your Eyes Chapter 868: You See Me When You Close Your Eyes and Open Your Eyes Teacher Key, why are you looking for me? Qiao Mu asked after finding Key. Ill arrange your schedule for tomorrow. Theres a small show tomorrow that you dont have to attend. Bring the clothes you designed and the models to the beach for the next shoot. said Ray. Qiao Mu nodded. Teacher Key, she asked after some thought, how are we going to deal with Shu Xinyus side regarding Ning Tongtongs matter? Shu Xinyu will hold a press conference in two days. We dont know the details, but no matter how they handle it, it wont affect us. You dont have to worry. Thats good. Qiao Mu lowered her eyes and thought of Shu Xinyus care for Ning Tongtong. Even if she held a press conference, she wouldnt let Ning Tongtong get hurt, right? Qiao Mu felt a wave of difort in her heart. She felt as if the heavens were deliberately making things difficult for her life, causing her to encounter unfair treatment time and time again! She took out her phone and replied to Li Yans message.See you soon? How long is it? She was waiting for Li Yans reply when she raised her head and saw Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong walking over. What did it mean by enemies on a narrow road? The more she did not want to see someone, the more she had to appear in front of her.
In front of Shu Xinyu, Ning Tongtong returned to her delicate appearance. Suddenly, when Ning Tongtong saw Qiao Mu, she looked frightened and hid behind Shu Xinyu. Mom, shes a jinx. I dont want to see her. Nothing good will happen if I see her. Quickly make her disappear from my sight! Shu Xinyu patted Ning Tongtongs hand with heartache and nodded gently. When she looked at Qiao Mu, her expression instantly changed. Qiao Mu, youve caused Tongtong to lose her mind. Can you stop hurting her? Although she did do something wrong, she doesnt deserve such punishment. Dont provoke her! Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtongs nervous expression. It was indeed different from usual, but she did not think that Ning Tongtong was really out of her mind. She sized up Ning Tongtong and curled her lips. Ning Tongtong has be a lunatic? You! Shu Xinyus expression was ugly. Qiao Mu snorted coldly. Madam Shu, even if she really became a lunatic, shes not worthy of my sympathy. Besides, what she did was no different from a lunatic. I really cant tell if shes really crazy or pretending to be crazy! Shu Xinyu protected Ning Tongtong in her arms as she scolded angrily,Qiao Mu, dont be unreasonable! Qiao Mu really did not want to see such a scene at all. Shu Xinyu protected Ning Tongtong in her arms like a treasure. No matter what others did, they were all wrong, but no matter what Ning Tongtong did, she was always right! Qiao Mu took a deep breath. Forget it, she didnt care at all! Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered to say anything else and left right away. Then, his phone rang. Li Yan replied, Just close your eyes and open them, and youll see me. He closed his eyes and opened them again. Qiao Mu closed her eyes and opened them again, but she still didnt see the person she wanted to see. Liar! she replied unhappily. At this moment, Li Yan had already checked into a seaside hotel and was setting up a scene by the seaside. When he saw Qiao Mus reply, the corners of his mouth curled up. His tone finally resembled his little woman. Superintendent Ouyang, who was at the side, saw Li Yans message and secretly sent a message as well. Such a grand event, of course, he had to share it with his good friends. Then, Ouyang sent a message to Ling Xi, Fourth Leader, do you know why Boss came to Paris? I have absolutely explosive news here. Do you want to know? [I will update 10 or 12 chapters today. I will update them after 12 oclock.]
Chapter 869: A Secretly Flirtatious Man Can Be Romance Chapter 869: A Secretly Flirtatious Man Can Be Romance Ling Xi replied in surprise,[Big Brother went to Paris?] Superintendent Ouyang felt that her explosive information was of great value, so she replied in a ckmailing manner,Fourth Young Master, give me a six-figure tip and Ill sell you the information I know. Ling Xi: You really know how to do business. Didnt Big Brother go to Paris to look for Sister-inw? Is this something very secretive? Ouyang: Of course its not just that. I believe that after Fourth Young Master finds out, he will definitely not suffer a loss. This is first-hand news. Even Lei Yi doesnt know why Boss came here. If you dare to trick me, youll be hunted down! Ling Xi said. Not long after the message was sent, Ouyangs phone notified him that he had received a six-figure transfer! Ouyang replied,[Boss is here in Paris to propose!] After Ling Xi received the news, he was so shocked that he couldnt close his mouth. Big Brother actually went to propose? And he was even sneaking around!
Ling Xi suddenly felt that the information he had obtained with this money was worth it! Then, Ling Xi excitedly shouted in the group, Second Brother, Third Brother, let me tell you some explosive news. Its about Big Brother! Then, Lu Jingzhi popped up. Brother, whats the big news that made you so excited? Give me a seven-figure tip each, and Ill share this secret with you! This deal was simply too cost-effective! Then you can hold it in. Lu Jingzhi replied. Why arent you curious at all?! Ling Xi asked. Su Chen immediately replied, If you can let others know about your big brother, we will find out sooner orter. Since its a secret, you can keep it for yourself. Lu Jingzhi: If Big Brother finds out that youve peeped into his secret, youll be in trouble. Ling Xi was speechless. Ling Xi didnt expect that these two people wouldnt buy it. He had spent six figures to buy it! He already knew about such a big matter, so how could he hold it in and not say anything? He could not take it anymore. Forget it, were brothers, so I wont talk about money with you guys. Ill just tell you guys directly. Eldest Brother went to Paris to propose to Qiao Mu! Are you sure? Of course, Ouyang told me! I didnt expect Big Brother to be so romantic. Ling Xi: Big Brother is really going all out to please a woman. Hes such a coquettish person. When he bes romantic, its really scary! Lu Jingzhi: Little Four, youre openly discussing Big Brothers secret. Arent you afraid that Big Brother will find trouble with you? He doesnt know that Im talking about him. Let me remind you, this is a group chat.
Ling Xi was speechless. Oh my god, he was so excited that he forgot that Young Master Li was in the group! Ling Xi sent a cold sweat emoji. What should I do, what should I do? Please save me. Should I kick him out of the group before he sees the message? However, before Ling Xi could act, she saw a selfie of Qiao Mu appear. I already saw it.
Who else could the person with Qiao Mus selfie profile picture be but Young Master Li! The next second, Ling Xi left the group. Li Yan looked at the chat log and his eyes darkened. Then, he looked at Superintendent Ouyang. Superintendent Ouyang felt her hair stand on end. What was wrong with Young Master Li? Why did he suddenly change his expression? Superintendent Ouyang felt very guilty because she had just received a six-figure tip. Then, Li Yan said, Youd better be d that my proposal seeded. If Im in a good mood, Ill absolve you of your sins. Otherwise, Ill find someone to collect your corpse. Ouyang was shocked. At this moment, Ling Xi sent a message. Brother, I will collect your corpse. Ouyang was speechless. Chapter 870: My Baby, Marry Me (1) Chapter 870: My Baby, Marry Me (1) The venue of the Fashion Week was quite a distance away from the beach, and it would take three hours by car. The filming would not bepleted in a day, so ording to the n, Qiao Mu and a few other staff members would stay at a hotel near the beach for the night and return after finishing their work. After all, Qiao Mu was less experienced, and there was also the experienced designer, LEO, and Ye Nuan among the models. Early in the morning, Qiao Mu and her group arrived at the seaside. However, the news they received was that the tourist area by the seaside had been booked and entry was prohibited. Many tourists were blocked outside and left in disappointment. However, when Qiao Mu went up to ask, the security guard smiled and said, Are you Miss Qiao? Ive been informed that youre here to work, so you can enter. Qiao Mu thought that Key had specially booked the entire venue for them for the sake of filming convenience. She sighed inwardly at how wealthy Teacher Key was as she followed the crew to the beach. There were a total of sixteen models, photographers, makeup artists, and assistants. The beach was empty, and the blue sea and sky were unbelievably beautiful. The staff built a temporary tent on the beach and began to put on makeup and change clothes for the models. Qiao Mu remembered that thest time she came to the beach, she was with Li Yan. At that time, she followed Key to City A to attend the autumn fashion show. He suddenly appeared in front of her and gave her a surprise. That man would often surprise her. Gradually, she had a little more expectation for him. She always felt that he would always give her a hard time. However, this time, there wouldnt be any surprises.
They had barely contacted each other in half a month. He must still be angry at her for going abroad for further studies, so his attitude was always lukewarm. She sent him a message. Perhaps he was just trying to suppress his anger and fool her. Qiao Mu sat on the sofa in a daze. Suddenly, a truck stopped by the shore behind her. Immediately after, someone shouted, Look, that car is full of flowers! Qiao Mu turned around to take a look. The back of the truck was open, and a cart full of bright red roses was unbelievably beautiful. Immediately after, another truck stopped. This truck was carrying all kinds of flowers, dazzling people. A makeup artists assistant eximed, Its great to open a flower shop. When I have money in the future, I must open a flower shop too. How do you know that he runs a flower shop? Someoneughed. Why would a flower shop need so many roses? Then what are you doing? Dont tell me its a proposal! Eh, why do you say that? They really look alike! Another person said, Its really a proposal. I heard the security guards talking about it just now. They said that a rich man was proposing here tonight. It was a huge scale. I wonder who it is! So, we can watch the proposal with our own eyes tonight? Im looking forward to a marriage proposal with money. What are you looking forward to? Youre not the one who proposed to me. Rich people nowadays are either old or ugly. How many of them are really tall, rich, and handsome and know how to be romantic? Tall, rich, and handsome men are all ttered by women. Where would they have the energy to please women? When Qiao Mu heard these words, she thought of Li Yan. How many tall, rich, and handsome men knew romance? Indeed, wasnt a man like Li Yan a living example? He proposed to her on the bed and used his actions to force her to marry him. Just thinking about it made him angry. It might be impossible for Li Yan to put in so much effort to propose to her. Chapter 871: My Baby, Marry Me (2) Chapter 871: My Baby, Marry Me (2) When Qiao Mu saw the romantic proposal on television, she pulled Li Yan along to watch it, and Li Yan only responded with three words: Hypocrite. At that time, she was about to explode with anger. Such a romantic and touching scene had be hypocritical in the eyes of that man? Then, Li Yan said that love was made. It was not something that couldst forever just by saying a bunch of sweet nothings. Therefore, Li Yans motto was,As long as Im willing to do some kind of exercise with you, it means that my body and mind are yours. The reason why I do it so often is because my feelings for you are too deep. If I dont like you, I wont do such intimate things. This theory really made people speechless. Qiao Mu knew that Li Yan had always been a man of action. He did not like those meaningless romances. Compared to saying I love you, he was more willing to love her with his actions. Most of the time, Qiao Mu would always be tortured until she was exhausted and despised Li Yan in all sorts of ways. However, she was still very happy in her heart. This meant that she was very charming to her, although she would often silently pray that this charm could be reduced a little. It had been a long time since she had shown her charm, so she could not feel his love at all. At the thought of this, Qiao Mu pped her head hard. What was she thinking! The more he thought about it, the more he went astray!
Qiao Mu sighed. One could not be too insatiable. She had always been a person who was easily satisfied, yet she wanted more from Li Yan. Since this man didnt know how to be romantic, she could only ept it. Compared to his kindness to her, romance was indeed nothing. Qiao Mu busied herself with work the entire day. Li Yan was also very busy. He was the one who personally arranged the proposal. He only needed to move his lips and someone would do it for him. However, he was unwilling to let anyone else do it for him. He wanted to personally give Qiao Mu a proposal that satisfied her. At night, Qiao Mu and the staff checked into a hotel by the sea. During dinner, the people in the hotel restaurant kept discussing the proposal. Someone asked the waiter about the proposal. The waiter said excitedly, The man who proposed is so handsome. Hes like a tall, rich, and handsome man. We havent seen his girlfriend yet. I think hes going to give her a surprise. I wonder how many lifetimes his girlfriend has been blessed to find such a good man! Hearing the waiters words, the customer who was eating at the side smiled and said,This surprise is really too romantic. Could it be that the person who proposed to me is me? I have a lot of secret admirers! The person who spoke was France. The waiter immediately said,The other party is an Asian man. Hes the most handsome Asian man Ive ever seen. Hes especially tasteful! The France looked regretful. Hes an Asian man! Unfortunately, I dont know any Asian men, so the possibility of him proposing to me is almost zero. Its too sad. Then, the France woman looked at Qiao Mus table and eximed, Arent you guys from the East? All of you are so beautiful. Could it be that one of you is being proposed to? Sitting at Qiao Mus table were Ye Nuan, Leo, and a male and female makeup artist. They were all quite good-looking. Hearing the France womans words, Leo smiled and said, You guessed it right? Im the main character today. Actually, the other party wants to propose to me. Leo was just joking. Western countries were more open-minded and thought that Leo was serious. Chapter 872: My Baby, Marry Me (3) Chapter 872: My Baby, Marry Me (3) No one looked down on Leo. Instead, they gave him their blessings. Handsome, I hope you and your boyfriend will grow old together. LEO.. Qiao Mu couldnt help but burst outughing. Teacher Leo, I wish you well too. Dont follow suit! Embarrassed, Leo exined to the others, I was just joking. Dont be so serious. I like women. The France woman rolled her eyes at him, obviously thinking that Leos joke was a waste of her feelings. The female makeup artist said in surprise, They said that the person who proposed to me was an Asian man. Could it be that my boyfriend wanted to give me a surprise, so he secretly prepared to propose to me? Qiao Mu was helpless. Why were they all trying to get involved with her when other people proposed? Qiao Mu had never thought that the proposal had anything to do with her. After dinner, everyone went to the beach to watch the proposal. Ye Nuan smiled at Qiao Mu. Lets go and take a look too. Well witness whether the tall, rich, and handsome men in this world are good-looking, rich, and emotionally intelligent and romantic.
Qiao Mu burst intoughter. Youre also so gossipy? Its rare to meet such an asion. Since we have nothing to doter, lets go and join in the fun. Ye Nuan got up and pulled Qiao Mu out. The hotel that Qiao Mu was staying at was built on the beach by the sea. The hotels back door led directly to the sea, and the beach was just below the fenced stairs. Because the seaside tourist area was closed off, the people watching the show were all tourists staying in the hotel. There were not many people, and they were all waiting in the hotel corridor for the proposal to begin. However, the beach was pitch ck, so there was no proposal ceremony. After a while, most of the people had left. Only a few people sat on the lounge chairs, drinking and chatting. The wind by the sea was a little chilly, so Qiao Mu tugged at Ye Nuan. It looks like there wont be any good show to watch tonight. Lets go back. Ye Nuan shrunk her neck in agreement. Qiao Mu turned around, and the scarf around her neck was blown off by the wind, flying toward the beach. She rushed down the stairs, ran to the beach, and picked up the scarf. The sound of a helicopters engine could be heard above her head. Qiao Mu looked up at the night sky, but she could not see the helicopters shadow clearly because it was too dark. Was this a proposal? Qiao Mu realized that she was standing on the beach, so she hurriedly turned around and walked back. At this moment, the beach suddenly lit up. All the lights lit up, illuminating the originally dark beach. At the same time, beautiful music started ying. Qiao Mu thought that she had appeared at the wrong time and must have interrupted someone elses proposal, so she quickened her steps toward the shore. Suddenly, Ye Nuan shouted, Mu Mu, look! Qiao Mu followed Ye Nuans gaze in confusion. She turned her head and waspletely stunned. Behind him, the seashore flickered with colorful lights. In the distance, rows of lights shone on the sea, instantly illuminating the dark sea. A row ofrge words formed by the petals of red roses appeared on the sea:My baby, marry me. The sea actually used flower petals to form words. That scene was too spectacr, and it left Qiao Mu dumbstruck.
Such thoughtful romance made Qiao Mu feel a little envious of the woman who was proposed to. Something fell on her head. Qiao Mu stroked her hair and saw that it was a flower petal. In the sky, rainbow-colored petals slowly floated down as if it was raining. As the petals fell to the ground, a figure descended from the sky.
Chapter 873: My Baby, Marry Me (4) Chapter 873: My Baby, Marry Me (4) Li Yan was wearing a parachute suit as he jumped down from the helicopter. Hended precisely in the shadows of the beach, only a few meters away from Qiao Mu. Qiao Mus gaze was fixed on the man standing in the shadows. She couldnt see his face clearly, but that tall figure and that familiar silhouette made her feel a little dazed. Was it because he missed someone so much that he was hallucinating? How could Li Yan appear here? How could he n such a proposal ceremony? No matter what, these things could not be equated to Li Yan. Qiao Mu lowered her gaze and was about to turn around and leave when all the lights on the beach suddenly went out. The words on the sea surface that were synthesized with rose petals glowed in the water and became increasingly obvious. Suddenly, a light shone from somewhere. On the beach, a few words were projected by the light:Qiao Mu, I love you. Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock as she stared intently at the two words. Qiao Mu, thats right, it was her name! Qiao Mu saw the figure in the darkness slowly approach, getting closer and closer until that familiar face gradually became clear before her eyes. She covered her mouth in disbelief. There was only shock in her eyes!
It was only when the mans face walked out of the shadows and was illuminated by a beam of light that he reacted. Suddenly, she felt like she was dreaming. She widened her eyes and stared at the man in front of her without blinking. She was afraid that if she blinked, she would not see this familiar face. She was afraid that after the surprise, it was all her imagination! The surface of the sea sparkled, and the words My baby, marry me were reflected in Qiao Mus eyes with unusual rity. On the beach, the words Qiao Mu, I love you were reflected by the light. It was as if he was worried that she would not be able to see it, and the words swayed along with the light. The man in front of her walked towards her step by step. She stared at him nkly, her emotions churning. She thought about what had happened recently and the misunderstanding between her and him. She did not expect to meet him in such a way. She had always thought that he misunderstood her, was angry with her, and did not want to talk to her. However, this man had caught her off guard. He had given her the biggest surprise of her life! Li Yan looked at the face in front of him. She was staring at him in a daze. Tears welled up in her eyes. That look made his heart ache. He smiled at her and said in a low and clear voice, I told you, you can see me when you close your eyes and open them again. Im not a liar. Qiao Mus nose turned sour, and she desperately tried not to cry. He did not lie to her! He had never lied to her! She did not believe him and thought that he was fooling her! The man in front of her bent over and then knelt down on one knee. His tall body bent in front of her. She did not know how many times she had imagined the scene of this man kneeling on one knee in front of her. She had been looking forward to this day, butter on, she slowly gave up. She thought that she would not wait for this day. Just as she epted his unromantic nature, he suddenly descended from the sky and knelt in front of her. At this moment, she felt like she was about to explode from happiness. Happiness came so suddenly that she was caught off guard! She had never thought that he would give her such a surprise! Flowers, music, beach, waves There was also the diamond ring in Li Yans hand.
Everything was like a fairy tale. Chapter 874: My Baby, Marry Me (5) Chapter 874: My Baby, Marry Me (5) It was like a fairy tale, like a beautiful dream. The man in front of her was looking at her with a focused expression. His usual coldness and yfulness had been removed, and his expression was so serious that it contained a rare deep affection. His deep eyes seemed to want to devour her, causing Qiao Mus heart to race. Then, the mans thin lips moved slightly, and his charming voice sounded, Mumu, marry me. Mumu, marry me This was not the first time he had said this. Last time, he had used the same words to propose to her. However, his mood and the scene had changed. The same words were said at different times, but they had different feelings. At this very moment, Qiao Mu waspletely captivated by such an asion. Qiao Mu lost her reaction to the mans affectionate proposal.
Behind him, the onlookers were extremely quiet. However, after Li Yan said marry me , everyone was urging him anxiously. Quickly agree to his request! Such a good man. Hurry up and ept him. If you dont want him, Ill have to force myself! Aiyo, so touching. How can there be such a loving and handsome tall, rich, and handsome man in this world? But all outstanding men belong to other women! Such a handsome man kneeling in front of me, Im really going to faint from excitement! .. The discussions continued, but Qiao Mu could not take in a single word. Her world was so quiet that she could only hear the words of the man in front of her. Her eyes were filled with this mans figure! His every move, every expression, and every gaze moved her heart. After a while, Qiao Mu finally reacted. She took a step forward and raised her hand Just when everyone thought that she wanted to ept Li Yans ring, the hand was ced on Li Yans cheek. Li Yan raised his eyes and looked at the little woman. Actually, he had no idea how she would react to him. This was the first time he had done something he wasnt confident about. He had left everything to her and let her make the decision. Then, he heard the little woman say in a light and unsteady voice, Are you really Li Yan? Li Yan was speechless. At this moment, Li Yan did not know whether tough or cry. He proposed to her affectionately, but she was suspicious of his actions. Qiao Mu truly could not believe it, and she did not dare to believe it. She was afraid that she would wake up from her dream if she was not careful.
Therefore, she carefully confirmed it again and again. In the next second, his hand was held and she felt the warmth of his palm. Just as she was in a daze, she heard the mans voice. He answered her very seriously, Im really Li Yan. I only belong to your uncle. So, my baby, will you marry me? The mans voice was very soft, so soft that only the two of them could hear it.
In an instant, Qiao Mu felt that all her emotions had beenpletely thrown away because of his one sentence. Her tensed nerves snapped in an instant. Happiness surrounded her. He didnt do anything and was waiting for her to nod. She sniffed and held back her tears. She grinned and nodded heavily at him. Im willing! Her tone was extremely firm. If she was willing, how could she not be willing! She had already decided that this man would only belong to her in this life! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he slipped the shiny diamond ring onto Qiao Mus finger. At this moment, heaven and earth were the witnesses. Chapter 875: You Are My Wife Chapter 875: You Are My Wife Heaven and earth as a mirror, this woman only belonged to him! Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand very, very tightly. He did not let go, nor did he get up. He was still looking at her affectionately, his eyes filled with all kinds of emotions. Qiao Mu looked at the diamond ring on her finger, and her heart felt as if it was stuffed with something. That intense emotion swallowed her whole. Then, the man who was kneeling in front of her said softly, Mumu, I know that Im very overbearing and sometimes very unreasonable. Because of my feelings for you, I stopped you from pursuing your dreams. During this period of time, Ive already thought it through. I forced myself not to contact you because I wanted to get used to the feelings when you werent by my side. After being separated for half a month, didnt I get through it? Youll leave for two years for your career. At most, Ill fly to Paris twice a month. Weve already endured ten years, let alone two short years. Im willing to wait for you. Ill wait for the day you transform. One day, when you feel that you can stand by my side, Ill announce to the world that youre my wife. So, Mu Mu, dont be angry with me anymore. Be my wife, and I will respect everything you have. He had always minded how hard Qiao Mu worked. He felt that to her, enjoying happiness by his side was the best life she could have. However, he had forgotten that he could not control her life. She had her own way of living. He had trapped her in the name of love and made her choose between love and career. He was putting her in a difficult position.
It was onlyter that he realized that he loved her, loved everything about her, including her pursuit of her ideals. So, how could he be cruel enough to take everything from her? Li Yan enunciated each word and said something that moved Qiao Mu to tears. At this moment, Qiao Mus eyes finally couldnt bear the weight of her tears, and they fell with a plop. He said that she was his wife. This solemn and formal wording out of his mouth was enough to show how serious he was. These days, Qiao Mu often thought that she would have a good talk with Li Yan after she saw him and clear up the misunderstanding. She could actually understand how he felt. He was angry and angry at her. He was so agitated because he cared about her. His reluctance to part with her and his firm refusal to agree were indeed overbearing, but it was because he did not want to be separated from her. After calming down, she did not me him. However, who would have thought that after meeting again, this man would let go of everything and tell her that he respected everything about her and epted all her decisions! Tears gushed out of her eyes uncontrobly. Her vision became more and more blurry, and that handsome and charming face became unclear. The deep love in his eyes seeped into her heart and left a deep mark. How could he do this! He always gave her unexpected surprises, making her feel so happy that she was about to melt. Qiao Mu was crying foolishly, and Li Yans heart ached for her. He stood up and pulled her into his embrace. Her petite body was pressed against his chest, and that sense of fulfillment made him extremely satisfied. Finally, he could touch her. He had been waiting for this moment for half a month. Although it was not a long time, it was indeed a form of torture for him. Qiao Mu hugged his waist tightly and buried her face in his chest. She missed him so much that she was about to go crazy. How could she bear to let go of such a man? How could she bear to separate from him?! Chapter 876: Silly Girl, How Could I Bear to? Chapter 876: Silly Girl, How Could I Bear to? The two of them hugged each other quietly in the night. Neither of them spoke, feeling each others heartbeats. It was as if everything had disappeared, and there was only the other party in his eyes. Behind him, the beautiful scenery witnessed this moment. Qiao Mus tears slowly receded as she looked up. Li Yan, I have something to tell you As soon as she said that, the sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out in the air, drowning her voice. Immediately after, beautiful fireworks bloomed one after another on the sea. Qiao Mu looked at the fireworks in the sky and blinked herrge eyes in pleasant surprise. Li Yan looked down at her. Do you like it? Yes. Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. The surrounding people screamed excitedly, disturbing the two of them.
Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand and walked on the beach. Above their heads were fireworks, and under their feet were lights. The two of them held hands and walked step by step. It was so quiet that no one spoke. It was as if they would walk until the end of time. When Qiao Mu got tired of walking, she stopped and hung herself on Li Yans body. Uncle, can you carry me? Alright. Li Yan curled his lips and crouched down in front of Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu jumped behind Li Yan, or more urately, she pounced on him with all her might. Fortunately, Li Yans body was rtively stable, or she would have pounced on him. Qiao Mu clung tightly to Li Yans back. It was said that in this position, their hearts were closest to each other. He carried her on his back and walked back with steady steps. Unknowingly, they had already walked far away from the hotel. She pressed her face against his shoulder and looked at his exquisite side profile. In the past, she had always hoped that her father would carry her on his back to y. However, whenever his father got close to him, Qiao Ya woulde and snatch him away. Now, she had found a man who could be both a father and a husband. That was great! Uncle. She called out softly. Yes. I have so much to tell you, so much. I dont know what to say first. Then tell me slowly. I cant run away. Ill listen to you from the beginning to the end. Thinking about how little contact they had had recently, she felt a little bitter. I thought you didnt want me anymore. You didnt like me anymore. You werent interested in me anymore. Silly girl, how could I bear to do that? Li Yan sounded helpless. When I was bullied, you werent by my side. Although I was very sad, I got through it. Actually, Im quite strong. Yes, I know. His little woman had always been strong.
When I miss you, I go online to look for your information. However, theres very little news about a big boss like you on the Inte. I can only rely on the photos on my phone to ease my longing. If I expose myself too much, Ill give you more love rivals. So, prepare more photos of me on your phone in the future. Hmph, how narcissistic! Qiao Mu snorted andughed. Uncle, am I dreaming?
Li Yan turned his head to look at the womans big, sparkling eyes. He narrowed his eyes and kissed her lips on his neck. He was prepared to bite. He only released her when Qiao Mu grunted and cried out in pain. Am I dreaming? Yes, I am. Usually, my little uncle never bites me. Every time, he will give me a French kiss. Just as Qiao Mu finished speaking, Li Yans kissnded once again. It was a deep French kiss with a strong sense of affection, and it was done in a very difficult position. Chapter 877: She Chose Him Chapter 877: She Chose Him After a while, Qiao Mu buried her face in Li Yans shoulder with a flushed face, her heart beating rapidly. Qiao Mu thought of something and then said softly, Uncle, do you really agree to let me study in Paris for two years? Yes. Why have you suddenly be so reasonable? Li Yans voice was deep. I dont want you to me me for stopping your career in the future. Qiao Mus heart warmed. No one else was more considerate to her than this man. He was such a tough person. He had always been the one who obeyed his wishes, but he had lowered his head for her time and time again. Key asked her if it was worth it? How could such a man not be worth it? If she selfishly left him for her own pursuit and hurt his heart, then it was really not worth it!
Thank you, Uncle, Qiao Mu said in a very low voice. She changed the topic and smiled. Although Ive already given up on studying abroad, Ill consider taking back my previous decision since youre so supportive of me. Upon hearing her words, Li Yan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the little woman. What did you say? I said, I didnt ept the offer to study abroad, but Ive changed my mind! Qiao Mu smiled happily. She was extremely happy to see the mans expression change bit by bit. Li Yan frowned. You didnt ept the offer? What does that mean? What I mean is, I never said that I wanted to study abroad. I signed the contract and reached an agreement with Key. I only need to go to Paris for two months every semester. The rest of the time, I just need to continue studying at a university in China. The n you saw was indeed drafted by Key, but I rejected it. But you misunderstood me without distinguishing right from wrong, so I was angry. Qiao Mu exined everything clearly in one breath. Although the anger in her heart had already disappeared, she still deliberately angered him. Since youve already agreed, then Ive decided that its better to study abroad How dare you! Before he could finish, Li Yan interrupted him. In an instant, a certain gentle man quickly returned to his domineering nature. His tone was filled with frustration. He had never thought that things would turn out like this! This woman had refused to study abroad from the beginning. She had chosen him over her career! At this moment, Li Yan felt that he deserved all the torture he had suffered during this period of time! Li Yan put down his hand that was holding her buttocks and said in a deep voice,Come down. I wont! Qiao Mus legs hooked around him, still hanging on his back. Come down, Ill beat you up! Why did you hit me? I should be the one suffering. Li Yan sighed, and his tone was unprecedentedly soft. Qiao Mu, I was really muddle-headed from anger at that time. I thought you wanted to leave me. Even if you wanted to leave, you could have discussed it with me and we could have given it some thought. I thought that you had made a decision for your future behind my back. I was worried that I wasnt that important to you at all. Qiao Mus heart froze, and she felt as if someone had grabbed her heart in a hurry, making her feel very ufortable.
It turned out that this man could also be helpless and uncertain. She had always thought that he was confident in everything in his hands and that he was equally confident in her. It turned out that he would waver so much because of her. Qiao Mu tightened her grip on her neck. Li Yan, I wont leave you. Not now, not ever!
Chapter 878: Fortunately, I Didn’t Miss It Chapter 878: Fortunately, I Didnt Miss It Li Yans lips curled up. Promise me that youll discuss everything with me in advance in the future. Dont hide anything from me. Alright. Dont throw a tantrum at me. Ive given you the right to be arrogant, but if you dont listen to me, Ill still teach you a lesson! Qiao Mu pouted and reached out her hand, waving the finger with the ring in front of him. Ourws do not support domestic violence. I am yourw, so I have the final say. Qiao Mu pretended to be angry and snorted, but the corners of her lips curled up in a ce that Li Yan could not see. This man was still the same man she was familiar with. He was sometimes domineering, sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, and sometimes warm. Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans back in peace. Finally, the dust settled. Li Yan carried Qiao Mu back to the hotel room. The little woman clung onto him the entire way. When they entered the hotel lobby and were stared at by many people, he actually did not feel shy at all. After all, she was the main character of the proposal today. His little woman was getting more and more thick-skinned.
When they reached the door of the room, Li Yan held Qiao Mus body with both hands, making it inconvenient for him to take out the room card. He asked Qiao Mu to take out the room card from his pocket to open the door, but the person behind him did not respond. Only then did Li Yan realize that the little thing had fallen asleep! No wonder! After entering the room, Li Yan carefully ced Qiao Mu on the big bed and observed Qiao Mus face under the dim yellow light in the room. Her eyes were slightly red. Because she had cried just now, her small face was sleeping veryfortably. She snorted and moved closer to him. Li Yans heart skipped a beat. He bent down and touched her forehead. Mu Mu, thank you for staying for me. At this moment, Li Yan was d that he had made such a rational decision. Fortunately, he didnt miss her. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Li Yan walked to the balcony to answer the call. As soon as the call connected, a scream came from the other end of the line. Son, youre really my good son. Youve inherited your mothers romantic cells. Youre going to make your mother die of envy! Li Yan frowned. Mom, its already midnight in China. Why are you still up sote? What are you so excited about? Its not like youre the one being proposed to. Yu Yiduo was speechless. How can you say that? Youre overseas and youre having a romantic affair behind your mothers back. I only found out about this on Weibo. How can I not be excited when I find out about this big news in the toilet in the middle of the night? Weibo? Li Yan frowned. It seemed that these peoples ability to spread information was beyond his expectations. Then, Yu Yiduo said, Dont worry. Your identities are not exposed. I cant see their faces clearly, but your mother has sharp eyes. I can recognize them with one look! Yu Yiduos tone was filled with joy as she gave Li Yan a huge affirmation. Well done. I dont even need to ask about the results. No woman can escape the romantic means of a man! Mom, if theres nothing else, Im hanging up. Alright, I wont disturb you guys anymore! Yu Yiduo sensibly hung up. When Li Yan returned to the bedroom, the little woman was still sound asleep. He took off his clothes, got on the bed, and held the little woman in his arms.
When his body touched the soft body in his arms, he couldnt help but tighten. However, the little woman kept rubbing herself into his arms. He could only endure it! He hadnt touched her for more than half a month, and now he was sleeping soundly the moment he saw her. This annoying little thing really didnt let him have it easy! Chapter 879: Little thing, are you thirsty? Chapter 879: Little thing, are you thirsty? The next day, Qiao Mu woke up groggily and found herself in an unfamiliar room. Last night, she had fallen asleep unknowingly while being carried by Li Yan. She did not know how she had followed him back to her room. This room was not the one she had stayed in. It was obviously Li Yans room. The seat beside her was empty. She was sleepy and her mind was a little nk. It took her a while to react before she heard the sound of running water in the bathroom. The bathroom was connected to the bedroom, separated by ayer of ss. From Qiao Mus angle, she could see the figure bathing inside. The ss was covered with ayer of mist. The mans tall body was outlined behind the ss. A beautiful man bathing in the bath bloomed in front of her. Upon seeing this scene, Qiao Mus sleepiness instantly vanished. This hotel was too scheming. The bathroom was actually designed like this! Qiao Mu stared unblinkingly at the blurry figure. She had to admit that Li Yans figure was almost wless. Be it the ratio of his height to his weight or his muscr figure, every part of him was perfect. Although she had seen his body countless times, she still felt that it was too alluring to admire it openly in such a manner. She had a feeling that Li Yan had deliberately woken her up from showering so that she could admire him!
Suddenly, the sound of running water stopped. The tall figure picked up a towel and wiped his body. Vaguely watching his every move, looking at his sturdy back, thinking about the feeling of her sticking to his backst nightQiao Mu gulped and instantly felt that she had the potential to be a hooligan. Then, the man walked to the bathroom door, and Qiao Mu immediately closed her eyes. Soon after, the bathroom door opened, and she heard footsteps approaching. Qiao Mu pretended to be asleep, but her heart could not help but beat faster. The handsome mans muscr body appeared before her naked eyes. If she did not open her eyes to admire it, she would be at a disadvantage. Just as Qiao Mu was debating whether she should open her eyes and pretend that she had just woken up, she heard footsteps stop by the window. In the next second, the other side of the bed sank, and a certain man sat down. Li Yan wanted to wake Qiao Mu up, but when he got closer, he realized that Qiao Mus face was flushed red, her eyelids were moving, and she was even swallowing her saliva. The corners of his lips curled up. This little thing, how could she pretend to be asleep? Li Yan bent down and nced at Qiao Mu. He pressed his lips against her ear and asked, Little thing, are you thirsty? Qiao Mu seemed to have been interrupted halfway. She snorted and raised her hand to unintentionally ce it on Li Yans body. Her hand identally touched the edge of his boxers at his waist, then moved up a little as if nothing had happened. Under her palm was his tight abdominal muscles. His skin was different from the usual burning hot skin. At this time, it felt slightly cold. Her fingers moved lightly twice, taking advantage of him. Li Yans body had been thirsty for a long time. He had been suppressing his thirst the entire night. He felt restless when he woke up early in the morning, so he got up and took a cold shower. However, he did not expect this little thing to take the initiative to approach him. After being provoked by her, the mes that had just been extinguished suddenly rose. He suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice,Little thing, its time to wake up. Qiao Mu was speechless. A certain woman pretended to be asleep. Li Yans lips curled up. He held the little hand and moved it down a little, cing it on a small tent. Chapter 880: Enjoying the Time Alone Chapter 880: Enjoying the Time Alone Qiao Mu closed her eyes and felt Li Yan lift her hand up before cing it somewhere. She subconsciously grabbed the ce under her hand. At first, she did not realize what she was grabbing. After grabbing twice, a certain ce was expanding, and thenShe felt terrible. Her hand seemed to have a spring attached to it as it bounced off Li Yans body. Instantly, her face turned red. She could no longer pretend as she opened her eyes and red at Li Yan in embarrassment! Li Yans lips curled up and he leaned over. Little thing, when you were sleeping just now, you deliberately took advantage of me. You touched me so much. If you have any thoughts, just tell me. Dont be shy. Qiao Mu was speechless. Hooligan! She pushed him away. Her skin, which had been slightly cold just a moment ago, was now very hot. Who was the hooligan just now? Are you satisfied? Are you especially happy to find that your man has a reaction to you as usual? Qiao Mu was speechless. Happy your head! Li Yan looked at the little womans blushing face. It was so red that he wished he could eat her up in one bite. He leaned over and held her firmly in his arms. Qiao Mu struggled symbolically, and with a slight movement, she touched the part that she had touched earlier. She did not dare to move anymore.
The yful smile on Li Yans face vanished, and his grip on Qiao Mus waist tightened. His low and deep voice rang above her head. Mumu, did you miss me? Qiao Mu met the mans gaze, and her sexy voice was iparably alluring, making her dizzy. This man was rarely so serious in bed, especially when he asked such ambiguous questions. She looked into his deep eyes and lost her focus. She nodded subconsciously and replied softly, Mm. Her voice was like a kittens whisper, full of seduction, making her feel shy. After receiving her response, the man finally couldnt take it anymore and directly used his actions to possess her. Qiao Mu was so embarrassed that her entire body was flushed red. Then, a certain man was still chuckling softly as he asked, Do you like it? .. I dont like it! Looks like I havent worked hard enough. Today, Ill let you like me as much as you want! ..!! At this moment, the two of them enjoyed each others love. After being separated for a long time, all their feelings were satisfied at this moment. Of course, if you think that youll be satisfied in a short while, then youre too naive! Qiao Mu quickly experienced the feeling of a short absence making the heart of a newlywed grow fonder. It was the same as every other time, and it was even fiercer than when they met after they parted ways. A certain man had tormented her for the entire morning! Qiao Mus phone rang again and again after she threw all her work to the back of her mind. In the end, Li Yan turned off her phone and enjoyed their alone time. In the end, Qiao Mu was carried into the bathroom. She thought that everything was over, but a certain man wanted to continue. In the end, Qiao Mu hung weakly on Li Yans body. She heard a certain mans emotional voice. Little thing, why cant I love you enough? Your small body hasnt developed yet. I really dont know what makes you so attractive to me. Qiao Mu was speechless. Was heplimenting her or mocking her? Her small bodyHow was she small? In the end, Qiao Mu could not help but reply, Youre the one whos small.
Li Yan was not annoyed. He chuckled softly. Yes, thats why Im matching you, isnt it? Then lets continue to get used to it? Qiao Mu was speechless. Run in your sister!
Chapter 881: She Picked Up An Affectional and Rich Man Chapter 881: She Picked Up An Affectional and Rich Man After that, Li Yan finally let Qiao Mu off after she repeatedly admitted defeat. After that, Li Yan realized that a certain part of the womans body was red. He had not restrained himself just now, and her small body could not withstand it. His heart ached as he furrowed his brows. She was indeed still young and her body had not fully developed yet, so when he did this kind of thing, he tried his best to restrain himself and not let her get hurt. It was just that this time, he lost control for a moment and had too many emotions to release. He did not control his strength well. Qiao Muyzily under the nket. In a daze, she felt a certain man checking her body. She was so embarrassed that she pulled the nket over herself and kicked him away. Li Yan kissed her forehead and whispered, Sleep for a while. Ill go out for a while. Where are you going? Qiao Mu pursed her lips unhappily. How could he be so irresponsible to leave after just finishing?! Li Yan patted her head and smiled. Im going to buy you some ointment. If you cant bear to see me leave, Ill get someone else to buy it for you. Qiao Mu immediately understood what the ointment was for. She immediately pulled the nket to cover her blushing face and mumbled, Hurry up ande back! Humph! At least he still had some conscience! After Li Yan left, Qiao Mu could not help but smile at the empty house.
Her heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness. A huge change had happened overnight. It turned out that happiness coulde so suddenly. Qiao Mu flipped over and felt a burning pain in a certain part of her body. Her happiness index immediately dropped a few points. Indeed, happiness came with a price. She turned on her phone and found more than ten missed calls. For the entire morning, Ye Nuan, Leo, and the wardrobe assistant had all been waiting for her to get to work, but she had disappeared. Then, Qiao Mu saw Leos thoughtful message: Qiao, you and your fianc should enjoy your alone time. Ill take over your job for you. You dont have to thank me too much. Fianc Qiao Mu grinned. From now on, Li Yan was her fianc. The rtionship between the two of them had risen to another level. However, he did not know when she would be able to stand by his side and be his wife. At this moment, Qiao Mu finally realized that being too young was not a good thing. Qiao Mu turned on her phone and logged into Weibo. Then, she saw a topic-Paris proposal blockbuster. She clicked on the topic and realized that she was the main character of the blockbuster! Fortunately, her and Li Yans faces were not exposed. Because the camera was shot from a distance and they were in the shadows, only two figures could be seen. All kinds of videos and photos were being posted on Weibo. The scene of the proposalst night was very beautiful. Qiao Mu was stunned by the grand scenest night. However, when she saw Li Yan, all her attention was on him and she did not pay much attention to the other beautiful scenery. Now that she saw the video taken by someone else, it was as spectacr as a blockbuster. It was unbelievably beautiful. Seeing the various discussions among theizens, some said that this was a promotional program for a certain program, while others said that this was a hype. They all agreed that there would not be such a handsome, rich, and romantic man in reality. Qiao Mu couldnt help but want tough. Reality proved that she had picked up the rich and affectionate tall, rich, and handsome man! Qiao Mu flipped through Weibo and identally saw news about Shu Xinyu. Shu Xinyu had posted on Weibo that she was about to hold a press conference to rify Ning Tongtongs matter.
To rify! Qiao Mus expression turned cold. She really wanted to see how Shu Xinyu would clear her name! [It will probably be updated around 12:00.]
Chapter 882: His Marriage Suggestion Was a Beast Plan Chapter 882: His Marriage Suggestion Was a Beast n Li Yan bought the ointment and sat on the bed. He lifted the nket and started to apply the ointment. Qiao Mu was bashful. I can do it myself. I dont need you. Dont move. Li Yan ignored her and pressed down on her leg to apply the medicine. Seeing Qiao Mus blushing face and embarrassed look, Li Yan opened his mouth to divert her attention. What are you looking at? I watched your proposal moviest night. Qiao Mu was very sessful in changing the topic. She asked curiously, Uncle, did you find a proposal nner to arrange this proposal for you? Arent you not good at romance? Li Yan lowered his head and finished applying the ointment on her face. He ced the ointment on the table and said, Its not that Im not good at it, its just that I dont care. I dont think that the size of the scene can prove how sincere my intentions are. However, its my fault that this little thing with a low IQ likes it. I can only think of a way to satisfy her. Since Ive already done it, I have to do it well. If someone else has to help arrange a marriage proposal, is it someone else proposing or me proposing? If you want to marry a wife, of course you have to rely on yourself. Qiao Mu forgave him for saying that she had a low IQ, but what surprised her was that the proposal was personally arranged by him! She wrapped her arms around his neck and rubbed against him. Uncle, thank you for your effort. Li Yans lips curled up. You only realized now that your man is omnipotent? Qiao Mus heart warmed. Indeed, this man always surprised her.
The fact that he could give her such a wedding proposal was already a very beautiful memory for her. Moreover, he had personally nned it. How could she not dare to make a move? Suddenly, Qiao Mu realized that he had just said I dont think a big scene can prove how sincere your intentions are , and she instantly became a little unhappy. A big scene cant represent your intentions. Does that mean that even though you personally prepared it, you didnt put too much thought into it? Li Yan rubbed her head and said in an ambiguous tone, Havent I already made you feel my full heart for you this morning? Qiao Mu was speechless. C After that, Qiao Mu dawdled for a long time before she changed her clothes and followed Li Yan downstairs for dinner. At this time, it was already past the lunchtime peak, so there were not many people in the restaurant. After Qiao Mu and Li Yan entered the dining room, they felt the gazes of the people around them turning toward them. Qiao Mu sat down by the window and ordered a table full of dishes, which were quickly served. She was famished, so she started eating without caring about her image. Suddenly, a series of whispers and discussions rang out.This is the couple who proposedst night. I saw this handsome guy proposest night. This handsome guy booked the entire beach. He took a boat and a yacht. He went through a lot of trouble just to propose to that girl. He really spent a lot of money to please the girl! If I were that girl, I would be so happy. That girl looks pretty, but her figure is just average. Do all handsome men like to find this type of woman to marry? Qiao Mu looked over when she heard the voice and saw a pretty girl withrge breastsmenting on her figure with a sour tone. The other party was a western beauty. She was wearing a strapless top that exposed her surging hook, which was very sexy. She looked at herself. She was wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans with a casual jacket on top. After all, she was a designer. Even if she matched them casually, it still made her look fashionable. It was indeed very fashionable, but the bulge in front of her body covered it. In fact, her body was not bad at all. It was just that she hid the exposed parts of others in her clothes. Chapter 883: I Like Airports More Chapter 883: I Like Airports More At this moment, the man beside her could tell what she was thinking. He smiled lightly and ced a piece of meat into her bowl. Jealous of someone elses figure? Its okay. Eat more. Youll develop so well in the future. Qiao Mus lips twitched. Was he making fun of her? Qiao Mu subconsciously puffed out her chest and winked at Li Yan. Uncle, if you like it, I can change into a set of sexy clothes too. That way, youll feel especially proud when you go out with me! Li Yans eyes darkened. I dare you to wear it! Qiao Mu grinned. Dont you like it? I prefer a t airport. Li Yans tone was indifferent as his gaze swept across her chest. With one sentence, he categorized Qiao Mu into another type. Airport? Qiao Mu was very unconvinced! He actually dared to insult her figure, the figure she was so proud of. Although she didnt have huge boobs, her body proportions were almost perfect, okay? How was it rted to the airport? Qiao Mu red at Li Yan angrily, feeling extremely unhappy.
Then, the manughed softly. He peeled the prawn in his hand and handed it to her. At the same time, he said very considerately,If you really like it, I can allow you to wear it at home only for me. Qiao Mu was speechless. She opened her mouth and bit the prawn meat from his hand into her mouth. Dont even think about it! C After the meal, Qiao Mu was about to meet up with the team when she looked at Li Yan and asked, Do you have any ns for the afternoon? No, I havent. He would spend the next half a month with her 24/7. He thought that the little woman would invite him to the filming location, but Qiao Mu said, Then you can make your own arrangements. Im going to work. After saying that, Qiao Mu waved her hand and left. Li Yan frowned as he looked at Qiao Mus back. She was leaving just like that? When Qiao Mu arrived at the seaside, the group of people were still filming, and the filming was nearing its end. Upon seeing Qiao Mu, someone shouted, Mumu is back! Then, they all stared at Qiao Mu with shining eyes, making Qiao Mu feel ufortable. Im sorry for only rushing over now. Its alright, Leo said with a smile. We understand. Ye Nuan stepped forward and gave her sincere blessings. Mu Mu, congrattions. Qiao Mu smiled in embarrassment. Thank you. As the filming continued, Qiao Mu took over from Leo and helped Ye Nuan with her outfits. Then, she heard a few people gathered together and discussing softly. I didnt expect Qiao Mu to be so secretive. Shes actually with Li Yan! Its no wonder that a little designer can be on the stage of Paris Fashion Week. Thats right. Rumor has it that Ji Lan is Li Yans fiance, and Ji Lan has publicly admitted to this matter. Now, its actually Qiao Mu who is Li Yans fiance! Ji Lan is actually a fake? Thats hard to say. Maybe Ji Lan was dumped by Li Yan? Qiao Mu is younger and prettier than Ji Lan, so its not strange that she can get promoted.
Qiao Mu did not think much of the discussions. She was already used to being talked about. Ye Nuan was straightforward and said coldly, Is it interesting for you to talk about other peoples affairs behind their backs? Ji Lan said that she was Li Yans fiance, but did Li Yan admit it? The few of them were a little embarrassed by Ye Nuans words and smiled awkwardly. We didnt say anything. Its just strange. After all, Li Yan had a fiance before. At this moment, a lukewarm voice sounded not far away. I dont remember having many fiances.
Chapter 884: It’s Your Fortune to Have an Outstanding Husband Chapter 884: Its Your Fortune to Have an Outstanding Husband Qiao Mu turned around and saw a tall figure walking towards her. He stopped beside her and swept his clear and cold eyes across the women before him. He said coldly, I didnt even know that I had other fiances. How do you know better than me? His words silenced everyone. The gossipy women quickly retreated. Li Yan had said it himself, which proved that the scandal between him and Ji Lan was fake! Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. Why are you here? I have nothing to do anyway, so I came over to apany you. You do your thing, dont worry about me. Then, a certain man leisurely sat down on a chair, looking like a leader inspecting. It was rare for Qiao Mu to see Li Yan so free. She could not help butugh when she saw him sittingzily. You look like youre here for your honeymoon. Li Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word. Qiao Mu blushed at his reaction. Honeymoons were something that could only be done after marriage, yet she made it sound as if she was in a hurry to marry him! Qiao Mu ran off in a sh to get busy. Li Yan quietly watched Qiao Mu run around. This was the first time she was working while he waited at the side. If it was in the past, Li Yan would never have thought that there would be a day like this. He did not feel annoyed at all as he watched her work without doing anything. Qiao Mu was working on the other side. She would asionally turn back to look at Li Yan. When she met his gaze, she smiled at him and continued with her work. Finally, the filming was over.
The group prepared to return home. Qiao Mu did not go back with her colleagues. She applied for leave from Key and would be traveling with Li Yan tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, Li Yan brought Qiao Mu to stroll around this seaside city. This was a seaside city that belonged to Paris. It was rich in natural resources and was very bustling and lively. At night, after Li Yan and Qiao Mu had dinner, they enjoyed the night breeze by the beach. As the scenic area by the beach was already open, there were many more people thanst night, and it was even a little crowded. Qiao Mus hand was held by Li Yan as they walked in the crowd. They were like two people stuck together. No matter how the others squeezed, they could not separate them. Qiao Mu suddenly saw a street vendor selling snacks, and from afar, she saw the words Exclusive Secret Spicy Roasted Squid . Qiao Mu instantly drooled. She pulled Li Yan over. Uncle, I want to eat this. We just finished eating. Are we full? Im hungry. Li Yan saw that Qiao Mu was about to drool, so he took out a Euros from his wallet and handed it to the grandpa who sold snacks. However, the grandpa took the money awkwardly and said, Young man, can you give me some change? I cant give you change. Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, Qiao Mu generously said, Sir, take the money. Keep the change. Just give me a string of squid tes. Li Yans lips curled up as he silently watched Qiao Mu take charge in front of him. When Sir System heard that, he quickly waved his hand. How can that be? A skewer of squid doesnt cost so much. Its fine. You can keep it. The old man felt that he had met a good person and felt very apologetic. He took five skewers of grilled squid from the iron te and stuffed them into Qiao Mus hands. Qiao Mu refused to ept them, and the two of them argued for a long time. In the end, Qiao Mu took two skewers. Before he left, Sir System gave Li Yan a thumbs up. Young man, youve really found a kind lover. I wish you all the best. Thank you. Li Yan said politely. The smile on his face deepened. Qiao Mu did not understand what the old man was saying in the local French. She tilted her head and asked Li Yan, What did the old man say? He wished us happiness and said that its your blessing to have found such an outstanding husband like me.
Chapter 885: Exchange Rings Chapter 885: Exchange Rings Qiao Mu was speechless. The first sentence was true, but the second sentence seemed to have been added directly by this man. Qiao Mu happily held a skewer of squid in one hand. Since both her hands were upied, she could not hold Li Yans hand. She then handed one of the skewers to Li Yan. Li Yan shook his head. Im not eating. I asked you to hold it for me. Qiao Mu sniffed the fragrant aroma of the grilled squid and deliberately held Li Yans arm. Its so delicious. I cant bear to let you eat it even if you want to. Li Yan held the squid skewer in one hand and held her hand with the other. As they walked, the little woman wolfed down the food. She was eating very happily. No matter what she ate, it made people feel very appetizing. Qiao Mu had eaten quite a lot for dinner, so she wasnt hungry. She was just craving for food. She felt full after finishing a skewer of squid, but she really couldnt eat a second skewer. She brought the squid to his mouth. Uncle, let me give you a taste. Li Yan took a bite symbolically. The squid was especially spicy, and the little womans lips were red from the spiciness. Is it delicious? Qiao Mu asked with a smile. Yes. Then have another bite. Li Yan knew that the little woman could not eat anymore. He said helplessly, If you cant eat it, throw it away. Qiao Mu pouted. She couldnt bear to throw away such delicious food. Then, she took a bite and gave it to Li Yan. Even if Li Yan did not want to eat it, she still had to stuff it into his mouth. Finally, she finished the squid. Qiao Mus hands were greasy. Li Yan went to a small shop by the street to buy wet towels and wiped her hands clean. Qiao Mu looked at the man in front of her who was taking care of her like a father, and her heart felt so warm that it was about to melt. The night scenery on the street was beautiful. Qiao Mu raised her hand and waved the ring on her finger in front of her eyes. It was sparkling. Li Yan had given her an engagement ring, but she had not given him anything. Lowering her head to look at the mans bare hands, Qiao Mu caught sight of a stall selling silver jewelry by the roadside. She blocked his way and said to him,Uncle, turn around. Hmm? Li Yan was puzzled. Qiao Mu forcefully turned his body around and warned, Dont move. Dont turn around. Wait for me. Ill be right back. Li Yan did not know what the little woman was going to do. He felt her run away. The reflection of the little womans figure was on the shiny pir in front of him. She ran to a roadside stall and picked and chose for a while. It was unknown what she bought before she ran back. The little woman stopped beside him. Just as he was about to ask, he felt a chill on his finger. He looked down and saw a silver ring on his finger. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and saw that the little womans face was blushing. She smiled in embarrassment. I didnt prepare anything. Ill use this to rece the engagement ring first. Ill get you a better er. Li Yans eyes darkened as he replied, Alright. A diamond ring and a silver ring were sped tightly in his hands, and his fingers were crossed. However, Qiao Mu did not know that there was a pair of expensive and unique wedding rings in Li Yans pocket. They were prepared for their future. C The next morning, Qiao Mu was woken up by Li Yan. Qiao Mu washed up in a daze and left the hotel with Li Yan in a daze. The sky outside had just brightened. Even if she was in a hurry to return to the fashion show, there was no need to be so early, right? Outside the hotel, Superintendent Ouyang was waiting by the car. When she saw the two of theme out, she called out to Qiao Mu in a ttering manner, Good morning, Sister-inw! Chapter 886: Qiao Mu, Let’s Get Married Chapter 886: Qiao Mu, Lets Get Married Qiao Mu was woken up by the word sister-inw. After seeing Ouyang Shuo clearly, Qiao Mus expression turned ugly. After getting into the car, Qiao Mu nced at Ouyang, who was driving, and said to Li Yan, Uncle, thest time I saw this person, she stopped us from being together and forcefully chased me away from you. Ouyang was speechless. This is a matter of the past. Sister-inw, can you not bring it up? Ive already taught him a lesson for you, Li Yan said calmly. If he dares to disrespect you again, Ill cripple him. Alright, then Ill forgive him. Qiao Mu said generously. Ouyang was in tears. Sister-inw was really a good person! From the rearview mirror, he saw the two of them holding hands. There was a silver ring on Li Yans hand. He took a closer look and realized that it was a very ordinary ring. It looked very cheap. Even the boss could bring this kind of ring out. It was probably a gift from his sister-inw, right? Boss really valued his sister-inw more than he had imagined. C As the journey was rather long, Qiao Mu woke up too early. Leaning on Li Yans shoulder, she unknowingly fell asleep. In a daze, she heard the conversation between Li Yan and Superintendent Ouyang. Is everything ready? Bosss lifelong happiness must be prepared properly. Everything must be arranged properly. If we rush over now, itll be just in time. Whats the matter? Qiao Mu mumbled as she woke up. Li Yan patted her head. Were not here yet. Sleep a little longer. Qiao Mu fell asleep again. After a while, she was woken up by Li Yan. The car had already stopped, but it was not at the venue of Paris Fashion Week. Qiao Mu alighted from the car and saw a manor in front of her. Inside the manor was a tall and magnificent church. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan in confusion. Uncle, where is this ce? Youll know once you enter. Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand and walked into the manor. Step by step, they entered the church. Inside the church, there was a man dressed like a priest standing in the middle, smiling as he weed them. This scene was somewhat familiar, and it made Qiao Mu inexplicably nervous. She turned her head to look at Li Yan and happened to meet his gentle gaze. Li Yan held her hand and walked towards the priest with a serious expression. Qiao Mu, lets get married. Lets get married Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment. She stared at Li Yan in shock, and her heart raced. Before she could react, the man continued, We cant register our marriage in China, but at least we have to fill in our names in a red book. Hearing the mans words, Qiao Mus nose turned sour, and her eyes turned red. Therefore, he had nned all of this. His goal was not only to propose, but also to marry her. Even if they couldnt be legally married in China, they had to at least get a marriage certificate abroad. Qiao Mu originally thought that she was already very blissful, but happiness was far more abundant than she imagined, and it always caught her off guard. Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. Yes, lets get married! There was no grand wedding, no family or friends, just the two of them, receiving the baptism of the priest. Such a ceremony was simple yet solemn. Qiao Mu had seen it on television many times in the past, but she had never felt that it was grand. However, when it happened to her, she felt an indescribable sense of happiness. Qiao Mu sincerely prayed that she was willing to marry this man. Whether it was now or in the future, she was willing to be his wife for the rest of her life. Chapter 887: Finally Kidnapped Her Daughter-in-law Home Chapter 887: Finally Kidnapped Her Daughter-inw Home Trust him, respect him, love him, no matter good or bad, share with him, hold his hand, and entrust her life to him. No matter what happened, she would always be by his side, apanying him in life and death. Qiao Mu smiled at Li Yan and signed the agreement. At this moment, the agreement came into effect. They were truly husband and wife. When Qiao Mu and Li Yan came out of the church, each of them was holding a small red book. The little red book was printed in French. One day, they would receive a marriage certificate printed in Chinese! Qiao Mu excitedly took a photo of the marriage certificate tomemorate this moment. Before she could admire her marriage certificate, it was snatched away by Li Yan. Uncle, what are you doing? Ill keep this for you. Dont lose it because youre careless. Li Yans tone was overbearing.
We wont lose it. Besides, even if we lose it, it wont change the fact that were registered. Also, we dont need a marriage certificate for a divorce. Qiao Mus casual words made Li Yans face darken. What did you say? This little thing had just registered her marriage and was already asking for a divorce! Qiao Mu pped her mouth forcefully. Pah, pah, pah, Im spouting nonsense. Uncle, dont be angry! What did you call me? Li Yan waved the ID in his hand to remind her of her identity. Qiao Mu blushed and called out softly, Hubby. The way she addressed him made Li Yans blood boil. Looking at the seductive little woman, Li Yans body tightened. It turned out that calling him hubby could make him lose control. C On the way back, Qiao Mu secretly fiddled with Li Yans phone. After fiddling with it, she returned the phone to Li Yan. Then, Li Yans phone started to ring. One message after another was sent. Before Li Yan could look at it, the phone rang. It was Yu Yiduo. Li Yan looked at the woman who was smiling evilly beside him and knew what she had done just now. Yu Yiduos voice sounded like a bomb when she picked up the phone. Son, congrattions on kidnapping my daughter-inw Oh, no, no, marry her! Li Yan saw that the little woman was secretlyughing. He curled his lips and said,Mom, Ill get Mumu to talk to you. After saying that, he passed the phone to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mus expression froze. She took the phone with a stiff face, but Yu Yiduo interrupted her just as she was about to call him Auntie . Mumu, you should change your words. You still call me Auntie. Do you not treat me as Li Yans mother? .. Auntie, thats not what I meant. Qiao Mus lips twitched.
You still call me Auntie! Qiao Mu wanted to say that they werent legally married in the country, so it was a little too early to change her mind now. However, Ms. Yus firm attitude did not allow her to refuse. Qiao Mu was a little embarrassed when she suddenly called out for her mother. She looked at Li Yan for help, but Li Yan looked at her with a smile as if it had nothing to do with him, as if he was just watching a show.
Qiao Mu gave up on asking Li Yan for help. She called softly into the phone, Mom. It was her fortune to have a mother like Yu Yiduo. Almost at the same time Qiao Mu finished speaking, a scream came from the other end of the phone. Yu Yiduo shouted, Hubby, did you hear that? Mumu called me Mommy Qiao Mu was speechless. Did Ms. Yu have to be so agitated? Yu Yiduo was so agitated that she felt a little abnormal. After a while, she said into the phone, My dear daughter, when youe back, Ill hold a banquet to celebrate with you. Li Yan snatched Qiao Mus phone away and reminded her helplessly, Mom, its my daughter-inw. Oh, right, right, right, daughter-inw! Look at me, Im so happy that Im stupid! Chapter 888: So I’m That Popular? Chapter 888: So Im That Popr? Yu Yiduo was too happy. When Qiao Mu saw Li Yan hang up the phone, she asked in disdain, How difficult is it for you to get a wife? Its just a marriage certificate, and your mother is already so excited. Its like a bachelor who finally found a wife. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Its not that its hard for me to get a wife, its just that its hard for me to get a wife like you. It wasnt easy for me to finally get the daughter that my mother likes. How could she not be excited? Li Yans serious words made Qiao Mu feel a little embarrassed. Instantly, he felt a sense of superiority. Was he that happy to marry her? Qiao Mu was a little carried away. So Im so popr? If I had known earlier, I wouldnt have been in a hurry to get married. Just as Qiao Mu was reveling in her own self-satisfaction, a certain man spoke up to suppress her arrogance. My mother only wants me to marry you and let the Li family carry on the family line. Dont think too much. The smile on Qiao Mus face froze, and she red at Li Yan fiercely. The messages on his phone were still non-stop, so she reminded him angrily, Hurry up and look at the messages. Li Yan opened the message and saw a lot of questions about his marriage. There were no photos in the chat history. He turned to look at the woman beside him. What did you tell them? I sent a message to your friends, and all of your friends saw it. Simrly, youll see it when I send it to your friends. Qiao Mu raised her chin and gave a very smart expression.
Li Yan did not know much about messaging software like WeChat, so he did not know many of its functions. Besides chatting with Qiao Mu, he never clicked on anything else. He scrolled through the group for a while and blocked the group so that he could not hear the group notifications. Then, he opened Qiao Mus Moments and realized that she had not posted anything. Thetest update was from two days ago, and it was rted to Fashion Week! He frowned and nced at her unhappily. Why didnt you post it? Send what? Qiao Mu did not react for a moment. Marriage certificate! Sensing the mans unpleasant tone, Qiao Mu burst outughing. What do I want to post? These words sessfully angered Li Yan. He narrowed his eyes. So, you dont want others to know that youre a married woman? A married woman Qiao Mu didnt like this term, as it made her sound very old. She knew what he was angry about and exined with a smile, Most of my friends are my ssmates. Even if I post it, they wont believe me. Theyll think that Im joking with them. Qiao Mus exnation was Li Yans reason to decline. Seeing that he didnt believe her and his expression turned even worse, she smiled even more happily andforted him. Can we not be so petty? Cant I return it? Li Yans expression softened a little as he watched the little woman post on her Moments. Superintendent Ouyang, who was driving in the front, had a shocked expression. When she heard the conversation between the two people behind her, she was utterly impressed by Qiao Mu. There was actually someone who wasnt afraid of throwing a tantrum. If anyone else saw that, they wouldve long hidden far away, yet Qiao Mu wasughing arrogantly. Ouyang Rong was shocked. After all, he was not like Lei Yi, who was always by Li Yans side and was already used to Qiao Mu and Li Yans interactions. In Superintendent Ouyangs eyes, Li Yan was a cold-faced and iron-blooded representative of the underworld. He was cold-blooded and ruthless in the trading market. He never put his emotions on the surface and would not show mercy to anyone. However, in front of a woman, he could actually change so much. He was like an ordinary man who treated his wife, angry, unhappy, and doting.
Chapter 889: Congratulations, You Have Succeeded Chapter 889: Congrattions, You Have Seeded He was still wearing a cold and displeased expression earlier, but the coldness on his face had lessened a little now. It was only because of Qiao Mus one action. In fact, upon closer inspection, although the man was angry, he was not really angry. When Boss Li was angry, he would die. At this moment, he was just ying around. Superintendent Ouyang sighed again. As expected of his sister-inw. She had really broadened his horizons! After a while, Qiao Mus WeChat Moments message was sessfully sent. The content was exactly the same as Li Yans. She sent a photo of the marriage certificate and added a sentence:Were married! Five minutester, thements were as follows: Congrattions! Who is the father of the child? Mumu, youve learned to be bad. You actually want to cheat us of our money! Dont think that well believe you just because you photoshopped a foreign marriage certificate. Were not that stupid. Eh? Do you have a boyfriend? ying a sh marriage is really fashionable! Oh my god, youre married. Hahahaha, Ill pretend that I believe you.
Mu Mu, if you really want to find someone to marry, I can go abroad with you to get a marriage certificate! Dont thank me, please call me Lei Feng. Qiao Mu could not bear to look at the pile of simrments. It waspletely within her expectations. She raised her head and saw a certain mans gloomy expression, which was even uglier than before! Qiao Mus lips twitched. I told you, they wouldnt believe me. The corners of Li Yans lips darkened as he smiled coldly. So youre still single in school. No one knows that you have a boyfriend! .. This mans focus was actually here! Qiao Mus lips twitched. Uncle, you dont have to publicize your rtionship in school, do you? Its good that my good friends know that I have a boyfriend. At this moment, Chi Xia sent her a message, Mu Mu, did you register your marriage with Li Yan in Paris? Qiao Mu showed Li Yan the contents of the message. Look, Xiaxia believes you. Then, Baby Guan sent a message:Oh my god, Mu Mu, you got married so easily? Can we continue to keep your uncle in suspense? Its too easy for him to surrender so easily! Qiao Mu secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Baby Guan. Baby Guan had always been thick-skinned and would speak her mind whenever she had something to say. Actually, it was just a joke, but looking at the expression on a certain mans face, he did not treat it as a joke at all. Li Yan sent a message to Lu Jingzhi with a sullen face. You better control your fiance. If you cant control a woman, donte out and embarrass yourself. When Lu Jingzhi saw this message, he waspletely stunned. He did not know what was going on! His elder brother had just registered his marriage abroad, and he was already looking down on him. There was simply no brotherly love! C The small unhappiness of registering their marriage quickly passed. To Qiao Mu, although Young Master Li was difficult to please, it was not difficult to coax him. The car stopped in front of the building where Qiao Mus fashion show was held. She parted ways with Li Yan and went straight to the studio. Because of the marriage registration, she wasted a lot of time and came back two hourster than expected. Qiao Mu looked for Key to ask about her uing schedule. Key sat in front of his desk with his hands crossed on the table. He looked at Qiao Mu with a deep gaze and said, Qiao Mu, I take back what I said before. Congrattions on your marriage with Li Yan. Qiao Mu was stunned. Even though Teacher Key did not say anything about her rtionship with Li Yan, she could feel that he did not see them all this while. He had a nagging feeling that Li Yan would dump her.
Time could prove everything. Chapter 890: You’re My Mother’s Daughter Chapter 890: Youre My Mothers Daughter Qiao Mu smiled. Teacher Key, thank you, and thank you for the proposal you gave me. Although I didnt follow your n, I got what I wanted. Because of that incident, she and Li Yan were one step closer. Perhaps when two people were together, they always needed a lot of things to slowly get used to. She was very d that the misunderstanding had been resolved. Key looked at the girl in front of him, and his eyes were full of energy. She lookedpletely different from two days ago. Qiao Mu, does Li Yan know that you have to work twice as hard to choose the path you want to take so that you wont study abroad? Key asked. Qiao Mu smiled faintly. Its fine as long as he knows that Im staying for him. As for the rest, I can bear it myself. Key didnt say anything else. When he saw the confidence in Qiao Mus eyes, he knew that anything he said would be unnecessary. This girl knew what she had chosen, what she should sacrifice, and what path she should take. As her career mentor, he respected her decision. After Qiao Mu received the work assigned to her by Key, she left the workshop. When she turned around at the door, she saw Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong leaned against the wall of the corridor. When she saw Qiao Mue out, she walked up to her. Qiao Mu, Im waiting for you.
Arent you mentally unstable? Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtong as usual. Her eyes were still filled with ruthlessness, and there were no signs of abnormality. Ning Tongtongughed disdainfully. You really believe it? Qiao Mu, you dont have the right to provoke me into bing abnormal! Qiao Mu didnt think that it was a glorious thing to provoke such a lunatic into madness. She didnt want to waste time with a lunatic, as she felt disgusted just by saying another word. She had just taken two steps when Ning Tongtong stopped her. She heard Ning Tongtongs arrogant voice. I have something very important to tell you. Youll definitely be interested. Im sorry, Im not interested in anything about you. Qiao Mu replied coldly. Its about you! Ning Tongtongs attitude was extremely arrogant, and she had a fake smile on her face. Qiao Mu, thest time I saw the one-inch photo in your bag, I discovered a secret. Ive seen that photo of yours in my mothers wallet before. My mother said that it was a photo of her when she was young. It was onlyter that I found out that the baby in that photo was actually you! Ning Tongtongs words caused Qiao Mus eyes to widen in shock. Very quickly, she forced herself to return to normal and coldly looked at Ning Tongtong. What exactly are you trying to say? Are you interested in my words now? Ning Tongtong smiled. Your rtionship with my mother is extraordinary. At that time, I thought you didnt know, but after seeing your attitude towards Shu Xinyu, I realized that you knew. You knew that Shu Xinyu was your biological mother who abandoned you! Ning Tongtongs expression turned vicious as she red fiercely at Qiao Mu. The words that came out of her mouth were extremely cruel. Qiao Mus entire body stiffened. She never thought that this matter woulde out of someone elses mouth, and this person was Ning Tongtong! Clenching her fists tightly, she smiled coldly. Ning Tongtong, I think youre indeed not in your right mind. Theres no evidence. Are you saying all this just to make me lose myposure? Im afraid Ill have to disappoint you! Ning Tongtong raised her head andughed out loud. Herughter was extremely terrifying. Qiao Mu, youre really good at pretending! I hope that I made all of this up. When I found out about this, I hated you to death. Youre actually my mothers daughter! It has to be you! Chapter 891: Shu Xinyu Has Nothing to Do With Me Chapter 891: Shu Xinyu Has Nothing to Do With Me Hate her? Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtongs almost twisted face and found it bothughable and infuriating. This was the first time she had encountered such a funny thing. Just because of her rtionship with Shu Xinyu, Ning Tongtong, this crazy woman, hated her to death? She had been abandoned by her biological mother, and many yearster, her biological mother had targeted her time and time again for someone else. Who should she hate? Qiao Mu looked coldly at Ning Tongtong and said word by word, Ning Tongtong, my mother died the day she abandoned me. You dont have to worry about me snatching her from you! Shu Xinyu has nothing to do with me! After Qiao Mu finished speaking, Ning Tongtong snorted disdainfully. Snatch from me? Qiao Mu, can you win? I did mind at first, but now, I dont take you seriously at all! Shu Xinyu abandoned you, her biological daughter, but doted on me, her stepdaughter. Whether it was in the past or now, you have always been hated by her. She only has me, her only daughter, in her eyes! Ning Tongtong said fiercely. She seemed to sense that she had lost control, so she forced a smile on her fierce expression. She thought that Qiao Mu would be provoked to the point of embarrassment, but as soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Mu turned around and left as if nothing had happened, treating her like air. Qiao Mu had already mulled over Ning Tongtongs words many times. How could she not know that Shu Xinyu hated her? She had never thought of snatching her mother away. If she wanted to acknowledge her, she would have done so long ago, but she didnt want to. Having such a mother was a huge stain in her life. Why should she make things difficult for herself? Ning Tongtongs crazy behavior was only because she felt guilty and worried that Shu Xinyu would be snatched away by her.
Qiao Mu didnt want to waste any more words, but Ning Tongtong, who was behind her, refused to let it go. She continued to speak ruthlessly, Qiao Mu, she didnt want you back then, and she definitely wont want you now. Even if you wanted to acknowledge her, she wouldnt acknowledge you. You dont even know how much she hates you. In her eyes, youre an unpardonable, sinister viin. Dont you feel especially bad being hated by your mother like this? Oh no, people like you dont care at all! Qiao Mus expression darkened bit by bit. Ning Tongtongs words pierced into her heart word by word. Even though she didnt want to pay attention to them, she still felt heart-wrenching difort. She stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Ning Tongtongs smug expression. She smiled sarcastically as if she was looking at a clown. Youre right. I dont care. A mother like that is only suitable for a scumbag like you. Please help me keep this a secret. I dont want a mother like that. I wish you and your mother a harmonious rtionship! Qiao Mu left with those words and strode away. Ning Tongtong angrily red at the disappearing figure and stomped her feet in anger. What was there for Qiao Mu to be arrogant about? What right did an orphan who didnt even want her own mother have to be mentioned in the same breath as her? She was just jealous because she couldnt have it. She had a good mother, and this alone was enough to make Qiao Mu losepletely! Ning Tongtong snorted coldly. Of course, she had to keep it a secret. If Shu Xinyu found out, it wouldnt be good for her! Not only did she want to keep the secret, but she also wanted to sow discord between them! C Qiao Mu entered the washroom and washed her face before waking herself up. She lifted her head and looked at herself in the mirror. The corners of her mouth twitched. It was okay. She didnt care at all. However, even though she knew that Ning Tongtong was deliberately provoking her, she still couldnt help but feel upset. Chapter 892: Ji Lan’s Face Slapping (1) Chapter 892: Ji Lans Face pping (1) She had always thought that she could ignore it and treat it as if her mother was dead. However, when she thought of Shu Xinyu saying that it was the childs fault for a mother to abandon her child, her heart ached! What did she do wrong to have such a cruel mother? Perhaps, even though Shu Xinyu spoke ruthlessly, she still regretted it in her heart. Otherwise, why would he keep the photo of her when she was born? Qiao Mu shook her head and stopped herself from continuing to think about it. She did not want to leave herself with a sliver of hope and then be disappointed. She no longer dared to have any expectations for her mother. Qiao Mu took a deep breath, and her phone rang. It was a call from Ye Nuan, asking where she was and asking her to have lunch at the cafeteria. Qiao Muposed herself and left the bathroom. As Qiao Mu walked toward the cafeteria, she sent Li Yan a message. Uncle, you can settle lunch yourself. I wont eat with you. Soon, she replied,[Where are you eating?] I have work in the afternoon, Qiao Mu said. Ill eat at the restaurant in the building to save time.
Then, there was no response from the other side of the phone. When Qiao Mu arrived at the dining room, Ye Nuan was already there. Qiao Mu walked over, and just as she sat down, Ji Lan was escorted into the dining room by a group of people. This restaurant was located on the first floor of the building where the fashion show was held. It mainly provided food and drinks for the staff who were attending the fashion show. At this moment, most of the people in the restaurant were designers and models who were attending the fashion show. Ji Lans identity had long been made public, so she was more popr than some big celebrities. She was the future Young Madam of the Li Corporation, and if she could curry favor with her, she would definitely benefit from it. Therefore, those unknown models all gathered around Ji Lan. If they were on good terms with Ji Lan, a casual word from her could change a persons worth. When Ji Lan walked past Qiao Mu, he shot her a condescending nce. Designer Qiao, youre still in the mood to eat? Shu Xinyu will be holding a press conference for Ning Tongtong tomorrow to clear her name. Youve finally cleared your name, but Im afraid youll be criticized again. Qiao Mupletely ignored Ji Lan and said to Ye Nuan while eating with her head lowered, Last time, I treated you to a big meal. This time, I want you to treat me. Ye Nuan smiled. No problem, Ive earned a lot. Behind her, Ji Lans expression turned ugly. Qiao Mu was actually tantly ignoring her! At this moment, Qiao Mu seemed to have just noticed someone behind her. She turned to look at Ji Lan. Miss Ji, since when are you standing here? Although youre not a professional model and your performance on the runway isnt that good, you dont need toe to the restaurant and practice posing. Ji Lan instantly lost all face. Ji Lan was not a professional model, and his figure could not bepared to other models. If Ning Tongtong had not used Ji Lan to target Qiao Mu, she would never have been able to get on the runway. Ye Nuan said, Mumu, have you noticed that every time Miss Ji goes on stage for a runway show, her clothes dont suit her figure. Its also because of her that every piece of clothing she wears has a particrly bad sales volume. What I find strange is that Madam Shu Xinyu actually didnt change her? Qiao Mu smiled. Who asked Miss Ji to have such a strong backing! Ji Lan knew that Qiao Mu was mocking her, but she still raised her chin and said righteously, Although I have a backer, I rely on my own strength. At this moment, someone ttered her. Miss Ji has the temperament and the face. Otherwise, Young Master Li wouldnt have been charmed by her. Chapter 893: Ji Lan’s Face Slapping (2) Chapter 893: Ji Lans Face pping (2) Thats right. Miss Ji is a famous cellist. Shes good at both inside and outside. Men still like women with substance. Someone ttered. Who among us here is more fortunate than Sister Lan? By the way, Sister Lan receives a bouquet of flowers every day. Young Master Li arranged for someone in the country to send them. This kind of gesture is very enviable. Ji Lan smiled. Its nothing. Im not used to it. Qiao Mu looked at Ji Lan as if she was looking at a joke. Ji Lans shamelessness had truly broadened her horizons. She could talk about something that did not exist as if it was real. Ji Lan arrogantly retracted his gaze and walked to a seat at the side to sit down. This feeling of being protected and being high and mighty was really satisfying! She had used Li Yans reputation to be famous at Fashion Week. Her worth would skyrocket in the future. Even if it was revealed that there was nothing going on between her and Li Yan, others would think that they had broken up. In this industry, breaking up was normal. No matter what, she had be famous! Ji Lan did not think that Li Yan woulde forward to rify their rtionship. After all, she and Li Yan had been involved in two scandals, and Li Yan had never denied it. He had only stopped the rumors from spreading. Ye Nuan looked at Ji Lans arrogance and saw Qiao Mus disapproving expression. She asked, You dont mind her using Li Yan to hype herself up? Its impossible to say that I dont mind, but seeing her acting like a clown in front of me, I feel that shes quite pitiful. Ill just treat it as a joke. Qiao Mu smiled, and a hint of slyness shed in her eyes. Im looking forward to how embarrassed Ji Lan will be when the truth is revealed.
Ye Nuan understood. This kind of lie would notst long. The more arrogant Ji Lan was now, the more humiliated he would be when his identity was exposed. Qiao Mu got up and went to the bathroom. When she came out, she saw Ji Lan touching up his makeup in front of the mirror and smiling arrogantly at her. Qiao Mu washed her hands and wiped the water off with a tissue. Just as she was about to leave, Ji Lan spoke up, Qiao Mu, I know that you must be feeling very aggrieved right now. The whole world is gossiping about my rtionship with Li Yan, and you can only watch helplessly. Youre envious and jealous! This feeling isnt good, right? Why should I be aggrieved? Ji Lan, Li Yan is mine. You cant deny this fact just because of rumors. Yours? What a joke! If he really cared about you, he wouldnt have ignored the scandal between us! Youre just one of his many women. Although Im not Li Yans fiance, this person still exists! If you dont dare to do anything, it wont be yours! Qiao Mu shrugged. She was toozy to waste her breath on Ji Lan and left the bathroom first. When Qiao Mu returned to the dining room, Ji Lan followed behind her. The two of them walked one after the other. Suddenly, there was amotion at the entrance of the dining room, and then someone eximed, Wow, its Young Master Li! Qiao Mu and Ji Lan stopped in their tracks at the same time, and when they turned around, they saw a tall figure walking in through the door. The man was wearing casual clothes with his hands in his pockets. He lookedzy and so handsome that people could not take their eyes off him. Qiao Mu looked over and happened to meet Li Yans gaze. Her eyes were filled with questions, but the mans lips curled up as he walked towards her. Because Ji Lan was standing beside Qiao Mu, Li Yans gaze made everyone think that he was looking at Ji Lan. Everyone excitedly looked at the scene of the two rumored lovers in the same frame. Chapter 894: Ji Lan’s Face Slapping (3) Chapter 894: Ji Lans Face pping (3) Ji Lans face instantly turned pale. She did not think that Li Yan was here for her! At this moment, the bootlickers around them seized the opportunity. Young Master Li actually came to Paris. He must be here to look for Miss Ji. Theyre so loving! Im so envious of Young Master Lis feelings for Miss Ji. Miss Ji looks so surprised and doesnt seem to know that Young Master Li is here. Could it be that Young Master Li wants to give her a surprise? Oh my god, its so romantic. Tall, rich, and handsome men like Young Master Li are really rare. Hearing these discussions, Ji Lans expression turned even uglier. At this moment, she finally understood why Qiao Mu did not expose her lie. It turned out that she had been waiting for this moment. As long as Li Yan appeared, her lie would fall apart! This woman had deliberately set her up! No! If Li Yan walked over, she would be finished. She thought that she could at least hold on until the end of Fashion Week, but it was only halfway through. She could not be exposed, or else everything would be over! Ji Lan nervously stared at Li Yan as he approached her. From the beginning to the end, Li Yan did not even look at her. His gaze was fixed on Qiao Mu. Ji Lan did not have time to think about it anymore. She struck first before Li Yan could walk towards Qiao Mu. She immediately went forward, and when she turned around, she identally bumped into the table beside her.
Qiao Mu was on the other side of the table, and all her attention was on Li Yan. Suddenly, the table crashed into her, and the chair smashed toward her. In order to avoid the chair, she retreated and almost fell. At this moment, Ji Lan let out a low cry. Her legs were blocked by a chair and she fell towards Li Yan. As long as she took the opportunity to get hurt and pretended to be pitiful, this man would definitely take pity on her. This man definitely had feelings for her. Last time at Glorious Dark Night, he had asked her to stay. Although nothing happened in the end, it meant that he had some feelings for her. Ji Lan fell precisely in front of Li Yan. Suddenly, her arm was grabbed. Ji Lan was delighted. This was enough. As long as Li Yan protected her and ignored Qiao Mu, it would be enough for others to think that they were close! Just as Ji Lan was about to fall into Li Yans arms, a strong force pushed her away in the next second. Li Yans gaze was fixed on Qiao Mu from the beginning until the end. The sudden turn of events caused the little woman to almost fall. He quickened his pace and wanted to go over, but at this moment, someone pounced on him and blocked his path. Normally, Li Yan would have dodged the attack by taking a step back. However, when he reached Qiao Mus side in a hurry, he raised his hand to grab the person who pounced at him. In the next second, he impatiently pushed the person away. He did not care about what the person did and walked around the table to stand in front of Qiao Mu. He lowered his head to check her body and asked with a frown,Are you alright? Qiao Mu saw his nervous expression and shook her head with a smile. Im fine, but she seems to be busy. She pointed at Ji Lan, who had fallen to the ground. He looked extremely disheveled. However, Li Yan did not take Ji Lan seriously at all. He held Qiao Mus hand and sat down, allowing Ji Lan to lie there in a sorry state. Just now, Li Yan had mercilessly thrown Ji Lan away. That scene had stunned everyone present. Wasnt Ji Lan Li Yans fiance? Why was Li Yan treating her like a stranger? They did not care about Ji Lan, but they cared about Qiao Mu. Everyone immediately felt that something was amiss. [If I say that Ill stop here today, will I be scolded to death? I dont know if I can write it or not. If I cant, Ill make up for it with 12 chapters tomorrow.] Chapter 895: Ji Lan’s Face Slapping (4) Chapter 895: Ji Lans Face pping (4) Why was Li Yan so cold to his fiance? When they looked at Ji Lans resentful eyes that were looking at Li Yan and Qiao Mu, they thought about how Ji Lan had always been targeting Qiao Mu and how the two of them were at loggerheads. Some people had wild imaginations and thought that Qiao Mu was a third party who hade between Li Yan and Ji Lan. Although she was Li Yans fiance, her status in front of Li Yan was notparable to that of a third party. Presumably, this fiance was just a decoration. Ji Lan was being helped up by his assistant when he heard the whispers around him. He lost his bnce and fell to the ground again. The bystanders only heard a low groan and saw Ji Lan holding his waist with a pained expression. My waist Quick, call the ambnce. I cant stand up! She was only thinking about how to get out of this. She had impersonated Li Yans fiance. If Li Yan were to settle the score with her, she would be greatly embarrassed! There were so many people here. Even if it was embarrassing, she couldnt be present! The people around them looked at Ji Lan with sympathy. If it was before, they would have gone up to her and tried to curry favor with her. However, Li Yan was present. If he did not even care, then the others would not be so kind. Initially, everyone had been ttering Ji Lan because of Li Yan, who was backing her up. Now, seeing Ji Lans weight in front of Li Yan, it seemed like they had ttered the wrong person. They might as well tter Qiao Mu, who was more popr in front of Li Yan! Qiao Mu looked at Ji Lan who was frowning in pain before looking at Li Yan. Why are you here? I have a broad-minded wife. She doesnt care if someone else takes her seat. Of course, I have toe and take a look. Li Yan said calmly.
Qiao Mu couldnt help but blush when she heard the word wife from his mouth. They had just registered their marriage, and he was really calling her that easily! She looked around and realized that everyone was watching Ji Lan make a fool of himself and did not notice them. Li Yan nced at the little woman. Is it embarrassing to be my wife? Of course not. Qiao Mu smiled when she saw the displeasure on the mans face. I know that youre deliberately not going to rify your rtionship with Ji Lan. Youre trying to divert Murong Chaos attention, so Im just ying along with you. She was not stupid. Since Ji Lan wanted to stand up for her, she would let him. Li Yan curled his lips. Little thing, youve improved. Qiao Mu smiled and suddenly thought of something. But is it really okay for you to be with me openly now? What if our rtionship is exposed? Li Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Do you know that Im very unhappy that I cant let anyone know that I have a wife? So, lets just make it public today. How can that be! Qiao Mu pouted. Uncle, we agreed not to make it public for the time being! I dont want to be reported by the media for everything I do in the future, and I dont want to have the words Li Yans fiance in front of my name. Li Yan was helpless. Alright, Ill wait for the day when people mention me and add Qiao Mus husband in front of me. Qiao Mu chuckled. I didnt expect you to have the ambition to be a gigolo. Who asked my wife to be a strong woman? Li Yan smiled andforted her. Dont worry. Without my permission, the media wont dare to spread our story. Qiao Mu nodded. Since Li Yan had expressed his stance, she was naturally at ease. All of a sudden, Ye Nuan, who was sitting at the side, coughed. Qiao Mu finally reacted and immediately introduced her to Li Yan. Uncle, this is Ye Nuan, a model for the Fashion Week. You met her at the beach yesterday. She helped me many times. Chapter 896: Ji Lan’s Face Slapping (5) Chapter 896: Ji Lans Face pping (5) Li Yan looked at Ye Nuan. He had seen this woman in the video where Ning Tongtong attacked Qiao Mu. She was the one who had pulled Qiao Mu back at the crucial moment, allowing her to dodge the attack. Li Yan nodded at Ye Nuan. Miss Ye, thank you. Ye Nuan smiled. Mr. Li, youre too polite. Its all within my capabilities. Youre too polite to thank me. She really did not expect the famous Li Yan to thank her right away. Such a high and mighty man would easily lower himself for Qiao Mu. Li Yan never expressed his gratitude verbally. He continued,Which modelingpany is Miss Ye from? Since he had helped Qiao Mu, Li Yan naturally had to use his actions to thank her. To him, it was just a matter of a word. Ye Nuan was stunned, but she quickly understood Li Yans intentions. She shook her head and said, Mr. Li, I treat Qiao Mu as a friend. Youre acting like Im trying to get close to her with a purpose. Even though she was not a very upright person, she sincerely befriended Qiao Mu and had no other thoughts. Since Ye Nuan had said so, Li Yan did not say anything else. He trusted Qiao Mus taste in making friends. Qiao Mu smiled. Uncle, you dont have to worry about this. You dont know that Ye Nuan is with Young Master Ling now. Young Master Ling can settle her matters single-handedly.
Ye Nuan was speechless. She didnt think it was something worth showing off. Li Yan raised his eyebrows. He had never heard that Ling Xi had a girlfriend. Then, Li Yan picked up his phone and sent a message to Ling Xi. The girlfriend Im dating this time is not bad. When Ling Xi saw the message, he was overwhelmed. This was the first time Young Master Li had praised him! However, what did he mean by girlfriend this time? It was as if he had dated many girlfriends! On the other side, Qiao Mu was prepared to add more dishes because of Li Yansst-minute participation. She shouted that Ye Nuan would treat them and that they should eat more. Li Yan stopped her. I wont be eating. I have something important to doter. What business? Qiao Mu asked. Li Yan pointed outside the restaurant. Qiao Mu looked over and saw that Ji Lan had already been helped to the door by his assistant. Soon after, a group of reporters appeared. Qiao Mu was stunned, then she looked at Li Yan. You called this over? Li Yan smirked. She bullied my woman. Do you think your man will let her off? Qiao Mus heart warmed. Although this man was in the country, he had information about her everywhere. Outside the restaurant. A group of reporters swarmed forward and surrounded Ji Lan tightly. Ji Lan was shocked. She used the excuse of waiting for the ambnce to escape the awkwardness in the restaurant, but who would have thought that she would encounter so many reporters the moment she stepped out! The assistant stood in front of him, but he still could not stop the reporters. Then, he heard the reporters ask, Miss Ji, we received news that Mr. Li came to Paris two days ago. Why isnt Mr. Li with you? Is it true that someone saw Mr. Li enter the restaurant? Miss Ji, why did youe out alone? Wheres Mr. Li? From the start, Mr. Li never admitted that you were his fiance. You only made it public on your own. Miss Ji, are you really Li Yans fiance? If so, why didnt he admit it? Is it because your rtionship is not good, or because this news is false? The reporters words were sharp and directly hit the main point.
Ten minutes ago, the media suddenly received news that Li Yans schedule in Paris had been leaked, so a group of reporters rushed over immediately. They did not expect to see Ji Laning out. [Later, it will be finished today.] Chapter 897: Ji Lan’s Face Slapping (6) Chapter 897: Ji Lans Face pping (6) Ji Lans head was spinning from the reporters questions. Back then, when she admitted to her rtionship with Li Yan, she did not care about the consequences at all. She did not expect things to turn out like this. If Li Yan was not present, she could have responded to the reporters however she wanted. However, Li Yan was in the restaurant! Ji Lan remembered that her expression was ugly. As the reporter pushed her, she fell to the ground and said gently,Stop patting. My waist is injured, so I cant answer your questions for the time being. Miss Ji, are you avoiding the question because youre feeling guilty? Mr. Li is in the restaurant. You came out on your own when you were injured. Did Miss Ji get abandoned? Ji Lan, you and Li Yan arent actually engaged, right? Youre a popr figure in the fashion show now. Did you direct and act all of this? Can you face our problem? Ji Lan was furious. Even though she fell down, the reporters continued to take pictures of her. She could not care less and red at the reporters. If you continue to nder me, Im going to sue you for nder! Ji Lan spoke so confidently that the reporters were a little confused. They could not tell if what she said was true or false. Ji Lan saw that the reporters had rxed and slowly stood up. The pain in her back had long disappeared. Youd better spread out. Li Yan wille out in a while. If he sees me being bullied, you reporters wont have a good time!
We just want the truth. Ji Lan, I wonder if Mr. Li has agreed to your public threats against the media? Im his fiance. What I do represents him. Why would he disagree? Ji Lan raised his voice to make himself sound confident. As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Lan saw the group of reporters shift their gazes to her back. Their eyes were wide open. Young Master Li! Young Master Li is out! The reporter cried out in surprise. Ji Lans face instantly turned pale. She stood stiffly on the spot, not daring to turn around. At this moment, a cold voice sounded, Did I disturb you? The reporter immediately pounced in front of Li Yan. Young Master Li, you came at the right time. May I ask if Ji Lan is your fiance? You havent responded to this matter. Can you tell us? Are you really engaged? Young Master Li The reporters words slowly dragged Ji Lan to the bottom of the valley. It was over, everything was over! Li Yan stood in the crowd, and his image waspletely different from Ji Lans. Even when faced with so many people fighting to be the first to ask him questions, his expression did not change. He stood there with an awe-inspiring aura, and he looked noble and extraordinary. The noisy reporters around did not dare to push him. They kept a meter away and raised the microphone in front of Li Yan. Im indeed engaged, Li Yan said calmly. This sentence caused amotion. The reporters all looked at Ji Lan. Even Ji Lan was stunned.
Could it be that Li Yan was helping her out of her predicament, so he admitted it? Ji Lan was overjoyed as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. She turned around and looked at Li Yan with joy, but her eyes met Li Yans cold gaze. Before the reporter could continue asking, Li Yan added, Since youre so curious about my private life, why dont you share it with your media friends? Im not just engaged. Im already married. She didnt know if it was an engagement, but she was already married
This news was too explosive! Chapter 898: She’s Not Worthy To Be My Wife Chapter 898: Shes Not Worthy To Be My Wife Young Master Li, the reporter continued to ask, is your fiance, no, your wife, Miss Ji? Miss Ji has publicly admitted to being your fiance, so this matter is true? Li Yan raised his eyebrows, and his handsome face turned cold. The corners of his lips curled up coldly as he asked, Who is Miss Ji? Who was Miss Ji? Ji Lans expression froze when he heard that. The reporters were instantly stirred up, and their eyes gleamed with curiosity. Young Master Li, Miss Ji is Ji Lan! Miss Ji is here! The reporter quickly pointed at Ji Lan. Li Yan looked up and nced at the direction the reporter was pointing at. The next second, he looked away coldly. Shes not worthy of being my wife! One sentence was enough to send Ji Lan to hell. It was obvious that Ji Lan was not Li Yans fiance at all. The rtionship between the two of them had always been Ji Lans one-sided scandal!
This was huge news. Li Yan was married, but his marriage partner was not Ji Lan! Li Yan did not know Ji Lan at all. Everything was Ji Lans hype and self-directed act! The reporter finally managed to interview Li Yan. Seeing that Li Yan answered all his questions, he continued to ask, Young Master Li, may I ask which familys daughter is your wife? Li Yans expression was cold as he said coldly, Ive always paid attention to my privacy. My wife doesnt like to show her face in public. If we want to go public one day, well let everyone know. After saying that, Li Yan lifted his feet and was about to leave. When the reporters saw this, no one dared to stop him and immediately made way for him. Then, all the reporters surrounded Ji Lan and threw all kinds of sarcastic and contemptuous words at him. The crowd was so crowded that they pushed Ji Lan down the stairs behind them. With this fall, the waist injury that he had pretended to have became real. Ji Lan screamed in pain, but the reporters did not care. They only wanted to take photos of Ji Lan in a sorry state. No one sympathized with a liar like her! It was only when the ambnce arrived and Ji Lan was carried into the ambnce that she was finally out of trouble. Inside the restaurant, the huge disy screen in the center was broadcasting the live news. It captured everything that happened at the door clearly. Qiao Mu looked at Ji Lans sorry state and felt a little hical as she gloated over his misfortune. If she wanted to me someone, she could only me herself for reaping what she sowed. Did she really think that Li Yan was that easy to take advantage of? However, her uncle was really handsome. He looked cool in front of the camera! After the report ended, everyone present was shocked. They had thought that Ji Lan was just a fiance with no status, but who would have thought that this was the truth! She never expected Ji Lan to be so bold as to pretend to be Li Yans fiance! Everyones gaze turned to Qiao Mu. The people who had originally bumped into Qiao Mu for Ji Lan started attacking Ji Lan. This Ji Lan is too much. He actually fooled us! She must have gone crazy from wanting to be famous. You can even tell such a lie! Thats right. I knew it. Why would Young Master Li fall in love with that kind of woman? She was so arrogant and despotic at the exhibition. He thought that she was the heavens. Just thinking about it makes me angry! If I didnt mistakenly think that shes Young Master Lis fiance and had no choice but to submit to her because of her background, how could I treat her with respect? Suddenly, someone changed the topic to Qiao Mu. Designer Qiao, please dont mind if I offended you. Its Ji Lans fault for being too unreasonable. We cant do anything about it.
Qiao Mu nced at the other party. When this woman found out that Ji Lan was Li Yans fiance, she had been surrounding Ji Lan and sucking up to him. She had also helped Ji Lan mock her many times. Now that she realized that she had been deceived, she began to tter her again. Chapter 899: Two Crazy Women Chapter 899: Two Crazy Women Before Qiao Mu could say anything, another person pointed at Qiao Mu in surprise. Ah, the diamond ring on designer Qiaos finger, could it be her wedding ring with Young Master Li? Young Master Li said that hes married. Could it be that Designer Qiao is Young Master Lis wife? Qiao Mu didnt want to pay attention to these people who were changing their tune. She looked at Ye Nuan and said, Lets go. Ye Nuan nodded and the two of them got up. Before they could walk far, they heard whispers behind them. Li Yans wife cant be Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu is not even 20 years old yet. Shes not even of the age to get married yet! Thats right! Looks like Li Yan isnt a loyal man. He has a wife at home, but hes still cheating on her. Of course, men like young women. Besides, rich men are more fickle. .. Ye Nuan looked at Qiao Mus nonchnt expression and asked, Youre just going to let Ji Lan go? Shes so arrogant. Arent you going to get back at her? This blow is enough for her to digest. As long as she doesnt have Li Yan as her backing, who will take her seriously? She can forget about continuing the fashion show. She only managed to walk on the runway because of Ning Tongtong. If Ning Tongtong finds out that she was cheated, wont she go crazy? Ji Lans good days were over. C In the hospital, Ji Lan was undergoing a checkup. She had fallen quite heavily and her back was in so much pain that she did not dare to move. Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open. Ning Tongtong rushed in aggressively and roared,Ji Lan, you liar! At this moment, the truth could not be kept hidden. Since the matter had been exposed, Ji Lan could only throw caution to the wind. After the doctor left the ward, he looked at Ning Tongtong disapprovingly. Miss Ning, where did you get so angry? What did I lie to you about? You still have the face to say that! Ji Lan, you have nothing to do with Li Yan at all. If I didnt think that you were Li Yans fiance, would I have allowed you to appear on the runway? Why dont you take a look at your image? You still want to be a model? Youre simply disgusting! When Ning Tongtong saw the news, she immediately rushed to the hospital to look for Ji Lan. She was about to go crazy from anger. She had originally wanted to use Ji Lan to suppress Qiao Mu. No wonder Qiao Mu did not take Ji Lan seriously. Qiao Mu knew the truth from the start! When she thought about how she would always grant Ji Lans requests, she was so angry that her entire body was burning. When Ji Lan heard Ning Tongtongs words, he sneered. Who was the one who ttered me and made me sound so good? Did I lie to you? From the very beginning, you were the one who treated me as Li Yans fiance. You were so stupid to suck up to me and take the initiative to give me benefits. I dont want to be a fool! You want to use me to deal with Qiao Mu? Isnt that because you dont have the ability? You cant even deal with Qiao Mu, yet you still have the face toe out! You! What did you say? Say it again! Ning Tongtong immediately pounced in front of Ji Lan and grabbed his neck, shaking him. Ji Lan grabbed Ning Tongtongs neck and the two of them started to tear each other apart like madmen. After all, Ji Lans waist was injured and she was not as strong as Ning Tongtong. She was dragged off the bed and thrown to the ground. Ji Lan cried out in pain and called the nurse in to separate them. When the nurse saw this, she wanted to call the police, but she was stopped by two people at the same time. Who would want to publicize such an embarrassing thing? In the end, Ning Tongtong was about to leave in anger when Ji Lan shouted at her from behind,Ning Tongtong, if you have the ability, go deal with Qiao Mu. Whats the use of going crazy over here? Ning Tongtong looked at Ji Lan coldly. Ill defeat Qiao Mu, but dont think that you can live in peace! Chapter 900: Li Yan Is Married, You’re Not His Wife! Chapter 900: Li Yan Is Married, Youre Not His Wife! The speed at which the news spread on the Inte was terrifying. In just a short while, the news of Ji Lan lying about being Li Yans fiance had spread. Once again, Ji Lan became famous and was attacked by the entire Inte. It was just that this poprity did not bring her any benefits. Offending Li Yan was equivalent to being banned! Not only was Ji Lans second career development affected, but even her main job as a cellist was also greatly affected. The performances that were originally scheduled for the next few months were all canceled. Not only was her reputation in the country greatly damaged, but her reputation abroad was also affected. This time, he could forget about making aeback. Ji Lan was recuperating in the hospital and was depressed. On top of that, Ning Tongtong had caused her to fall, so it was difficult for her to recover. In the hospital, Ji Lan was so haggard that he looked like he had gone mad. He wanted to see Qiao Mu and called Qiao Mu, but Qiao Mu ignored him. She threatened Qiao Mu that if she did note to the hospital to see her, she would tell Li Yans wife about Qiao Mu and Li Yans rtionship. Qiao Mu felt that Ji Lan was seriously ill. She had never been kind enough to leave an escape route for her enemies. If Ji Lan felt that the blow was not enough, she did not mind adding insult to injury. When Ji Lan saw Qiao Mu, he thought that Qiao Mu was afraid, so heughed sarcastically. I knew you woulde. If Li Yans wife finds out about your existence, Im afraid you wont have a ce to stay, right? Qiao Mu looked at Ji Lan as if she was watching a joke. So, you asked me to meet you just to tell me this? Qiao Mu, you dont have to be so arrogant. Sooner orter, youll be like me and be treated as worthless by Li Yan! Ji Lan snorted. You heard it too. Li Yan is married, and that wife is definitely not you. So, sooner orter, your ending will be worse than mine! Qiao Mus expression was indifferent. Please dontpare me to you. Im Li Yans woman, and you have nothing to do with him. No rtion? Qiao Mu, youre really good at deceiving yourself. Dont forget that Li Yan was exercising on my body when you sent him a message that night! When Ji Lan said this, her expression was extremely smug. Qiao Mu smiled coldly. It seems like not only did you injure your waist, but your brain is also damaged. If your delusions are serious, please see a doctor. I believe the words of a person with a mental illness. Doesnt this mean that Im also mentally ill? Ji Lan originally thought that his words of provocation would make Qiao Mu waver, but he did not expect Qiao Mu to be unconcerned. Ji Lan was instantly enraged. Qiao Mu, Ive really underestimated you. It looks like youre only with Li Yan for his power. You dont care how many women share him with you, do you? Thats right. After all, he has a wife. Youre just a mistress. What face do you have? Qiao Mus gaze swept over him sharply. Ji Lan, do you know why I didnt expose your rtionship with Li Yan? Qiao Mu paused and did not give the other party a chance to speak before she continued, Because youre stupid. Youre so stupid that you think youre smart enough to sow discord between me and Li Yan. However, you have no idea what my rtionship with Li Yan is. The moment you publicly admitted your rtionship with Li Yan, I was quietly waiting for today toe. As expected, youve be worthless now. Qiao Mus words made Ji Lans face turn ashen. You treacherous woman, you must have provoked Li Yan and made him expose me. Youre the most vicious one. No wonder Ning Tongtong cant defeat you! Chapter 901: His Wife Is Me! Chapter 901: His Wife Is Me! Qiao Mu felt that Ji Lan was hopeless, so she smiled faintly. Since youre so concerned about me, I can tell you a secret of mine. I believe that youll definitely help me keep it a secret. She raised her hand and waved the ring in front of Ji Lan. Do you know what this is? This is Li Yans proposal ring. Also, this morning, Li Yan and I registered our marriage in Paris and became legally married under the protection of Francew. Therefore, the wife he mentioned is me. Ji Lan widened her eyes in horror and shook her head in disbelief. A sinister smile appeared on her shocked face. Impossible! Qiao Mu, this is impossible! Dont try to deceive me. How can Li Yan marry you? Qiao Mu sighed helplessly. I didnt want to tell you at first, but seeing that youre beyond cure, I wanted to treat you. If you dont want to help me keep this secret, you can tell someone else. I think you definitely wont do that. Ji Lans expression was already extremely ugly. Dont even think about asking her to help with the publicity! This was definitely not true, and she refused to believe it. If it was true, then wouldnt she be like an idiot performing acrobatics in front of Qiao Mu?! Qiao Mus phone rang. It was Li Yan. She turned around and left the ward while answering the call. Li Yans voice was heard. Where? I came to apany you on your honeymoon, and this is how you treat me? I didnt see you for the entire afternoon. Qiao Mu smiled. Ill return to the hotel immediately. Where are you? Ill pick you up.
Qiao Mu told him the address and walked out of the hospital. Soon, Li Yans car arrived. Li Yan drove the car himself. After Qiao Mu got into the car, the man beside her asked, What are you doing in the hospital? Ji Lan wanted to see me, so I came to see her. As she spoke, Qiao Mu noticed Li Yans frown and smiled. Dont worry. She wont bully me like this. Shes been trying to sow discord between you and me, so I came to show her how good my rtionship with my husband is! Li Yans lips curled up. Say it again. Hmm? What am I to you? Qiao Mu immediately realized what he wanted to hear and responded with a smile, Youre my uncle! Li Yan was extremely dissatisfied. In the past, he thought that the term uncle sounded intimate and pleasant to the ear. However, now, no matter how pleasant it sounded, it did not sound as intimate as hubby. When did that woman sow discord between us? he asked as he thought about what she had just said. Youre not that stupid to be instigated by an unrted person, are you? Qiao Mu understood that Li Yan obviously did not know that Ji Lan had secretly sent her a text message. However, she still kept the chat records, so she immediately turned on her phone and showed it to him. Li Yan took a look and frowned. When was this posted? The night before I left the country, you were at Glorious Dark Night. I sent you a message and Ji Lan replied to me with your phone. Qiao Mus tone was rxed at the mention of this matter. I was really sad at that time. You were too harsh with your words, but I quickly calmed down and asked Su Chen about it. I knew that you werent the one who sent this message. Li Yans eyes darkened. He stepped on the brakes and looked at Qiao Mu apologetically. Mumu, Im sorry. He had no idea that such a misunderstanding had urred. Chapter 902: I Have Your Back Chapter 902: I Have Your Back Fortunately, she trusted him and rationally cleared the misunderstanding. Qiao Mu smiled and shook her head. Its alright. Its all in the past. Li Yan looked at the little woman and smiled nonchntly. He knew that she must have been very sad at that time. Ji Lan probably did more than that, but she had endured it. He thought that the time they had been apart was torture for him, but at the same time, it was torture for her. Li Yan cupped Qiao Mus head and kissed her deeply. His tongue pierced straight into Qiao Mus mouth, bringing with it a familiar fanatical aura that swept through a storm as it churned in Qiao Mus mouth. Such a kiss was so familiar that Qiao Mu was intoxicated. It was so good to hug him again. This kind of fulfilling feeling almost melted her. After a while, Li Yan let go of Qiao Mu, and his low voice rang in her ear. Honey, shall we go back to the hotel first? Qiao Mu raised her head and red at him angrily. Can you not be such a hooligan?!
Li Yan chuckled. I only said that well go back to the hotel for dinner. What were you thinking? .. This bastard! However, it turned out that returning to the hotel was not just about eating. A certain man had been a vegetarian for half a month. How could he recover in one night? Therefore, the second round ofpensation was soon carried out. That night, it was another passionate night. It was only until midnight that Qiao Mu copsed in Li Yans arms. She was a little sleepy, but she could not bear to sleep. It felt so good to be in his arms. Li Yan gently supported Qiao Mus back and turned on the television. The television was ying thetest news from Fashion Week. Qiao Mu leanedzily against Li Yans chest, quietly enjoying this warm moment. She tilted her head and looked at him. Uncle, when are youing back to China? Ill go back with you. I still need ten more days! Qiao Mu was astonished. Li Yans hand was twirling her hair. Yes, I took a long leave for my honeymoon. Qiao Mu was delighted. She hooked her arms around Li Yans neck and kissed him on the cheek. Hubby, youre the best! Li Yan smiled. So, do you want to reward your husband? Ive already rewarded you just now. Dont push your luck! Qiao Mu grunted and sat down obediently, not daring to move. After all, this man was like dry wood that could be set on fire with a light tap! At this moment, a voice came from the television. Shu Xinyu will hold a press conference tomorrow morning to give theizens an exnation for Ning Tongtongs incident Qiao Mus expression darkened bit by bit. She wondered what Shu Xinyu would do to shock her again tomorrow. After all, this woman would do anything for Ning Tongtong.
Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the change in the little womans expression. Heforted her in a low voice, Be good. You have me. Qiao Mus heart felt warm. She pressed her face against Li Yans chest and said in a muffled voice, Uncle, let me tell you some very unfortunate news. Shu Xinyu is really the woman who abandoned me. Li Yan frowned. Are you sure? Qiao Mu nodded. She thought that she was very calm, but she suddenly became fragile. However, she wont have anything to do with me. She never had anything to do with me before, and she wont have anything to do with me in the future.
When Shu Xinyu said that a mother abandoning her child was the childs fault, she knew that she would not want this mother. Li Yan gently caressed Qiao Mus head. How much damage had she suffered when he wasnt by her side? At this moment, Qiao Mu med herself for not being by her side. Mu Mu, I support your decision. No matter what you do, Ill always be there for you. Remember, if theres anything you cant solve or you dont want to face, leave it to me. Qiao Mus nose turned sour, and she nodded vigorously. Chapter 903: Qiao Mu Is the Chief culprit (1) Chapter 903: Qiao Mu Is the Chief culprit (1) Li Yans gentle voice was like a zither that soothed ones soul, making Qiao Mu feel extremely at ease. In this world, she was not alone. She had him! Qiao Mu quickly fell asleep. Li Yan took out his phone and sent a message to Superintendent Ouyang. Contact the media. Arrange for a reporter from Global Fashion to attend Shu Xinyus press conference tomorrow. C The next day, the Key brand had a fashion show. Qiao Mu was busy helping the models match their outfits backstage. When she was done, Shu Xinyus face appeared on the huge screen in the studio. The press conference had just begun. Because this matter was of high concern in the country, it was broadcast live on the inte. Qiao Mu stood in front of the television and watched Shu Xinyu standing on the stage facing the camera below. She was dignified and magnanimous without the slightest bit of stage fright, as if she had long been used to such scenes. Ning Tongtong wasnt there, so she must have been protected by her mother. The reporter started to ask, Madam Shu, you held a press conference to rify Ning Tongtongs attack on Qiao Mu. However, the video was clearly recorded. How are you going to clear Ning Tongtongs name? Shu Xinyu smiled. I cant say that Im trying to clear my name. Ning Tongtong didnt do anything wrong in the first ce. Everyone was misled by the video and thought that it was Ning Tongtongs fault. However, there was actually a reason for this whole incident. The reason why Ning Tongtong went to Qiao Mu was because Qiao Mu had done something behind her back, causing her to be disqualified from being a designer by the organizers of the Fashion Week. Hence, Ning Tongtong was angry and went to Qiao Mu to reason with her. After all, she was young and couldnt keep her cool. She lost control of her emotions, so she ended up like what everyone saw.
Madam Shu, Ning Tongtong was clearly the one who nned this incident. She first made herself the victim and framed Qiao Mu, then the entire video was exposed. Now, shes standing up and saying that Qiao Mu made Ning Tongtong lose her right to participate in the fashion show. How could Qiao Mu, a designer, do this? Ms. Shu, do you love your daughter so much that you dont hesitate to hurt others for your daughter? Why didnt Ning Tongtonge out to exin herself? I did something myself, but I let you be my shield. Isnt that too irresponsible? Shu Xinyus expression gradually darkened. Tongtong also wanted to step in personally, but her mental condition is especially bad now because this incident has dealt a huge blow to her. She has been very emotional. I brought her to the hospital for a check-up and found that she has mild depression. As the childs mother, Im really heartbroken. If all of this was caused by her, I can say that she deserved it. However, I know very well that she was wronged. At this point, Shu Xinyu sighed. As for the giarism incident, although Key Studios has initiated awsuit, there is no evidence and no case has been filed yet. Isnt it too early to convict her now? Even if she really did something wrong, couldnt he give her a chance to change her mind? Some people are using Tongtongs dark history to nder her time and time again, causing her current situation to be so bad. The reporters looked at each other. Seeing Shu Xinyus sad face, they asked again, So, Madam Shu is saying that Qiao Mu nned everything? Im not sure about this. I only know that Tongtong is innocent, Shu Xinyu said gently. Since Ning Tongtong was innocent, didnt that mean that Qiao Mu wasnt innocent? Chapter 904: Qiao Mu Is the Chief culprit (2) Chapter 904: Qiao Mu Is the Chief culprit (2) Suddenly, a reporter spoke up. Madam Shu, I have a video of you pping Qiao Mu. Do you think you can be merciless to others just because you care about your own child? Why did you hit Qiao Mu? Shu Xinyus expression stiffened. She hadnt expected the reporters to mention this matter. She had originally arranged for half of the reporters today, but why did this person get this video! Shu Xinyu had seen the big picture before, after all, so she quickly replied frankly, You should ask Qiao Mu about this. She bullied Tongtong in private and pped Tongtong. As her mother, I naturally have to teach the younger generation a lesson. Is that so? the reporter asked. But I heard that Ning Tongtong has been making things difficult for Qiao Mu in private. Shu Xinyus face darkened. Friend from the media, may I know which mediapany youre from? The reporterughed. Could it be that Ms. Shu thinks that my question is too sharp and wants to take revenge on me afterwards? The surroundings were in an uproar. The reporter raised the badge on his chest. Im a reporter from Global Fashion. Isnt Global Fashion the media outlet that exposed Ning Tongtongs video of her attacking Qiao Mu? A reporter was surprised. Thats right, it was me. That video was shot by me. At that time, I exposed a portion of it because Ning Tongtong bribed me to destroy Qiao Mu. She promised to give me five million yuan, and I was tempted. However, after that, she actually didnt give me a single cent, so in a fit of anger, I exposed the entire video. Since Ning Tongtong was heartless, dont me me for being unjust!
Shu Xinyu red at the reporter. Dont ruin Ning Tongtongs reputation. I can sue you! Since I can stand up and tell the truth, I naturally have evidence! The other reporters struck while the iron was hot. Shu Xinyu, the reporter from Global Fashion said that you didnt know? Everything was nned by Ning Tongtong, yet youre ming Qiao Mu. Are you trying to clear Ning Tongtongs name on purpose, or are you being kept in the dark by her? Shu Xinyu, youre Ning Tongtongs mother. She must have gotten your approval for everything she did, right? Why do you keep targeting Qiao Mu? Shes a neer. Did she offend you in some way? The scene was in chaos. Shu Xinyu had already arranged everything to clear Ning Tongtongs name, but the situation had be out of her control. Nonsense! Suddenly, a shout was heard. Ning Tongtong rushed over and yelled at the reporters uncontrobly, Qiao Mu must have given you some benefits, so you ndered me and framed me! Qiao Mu isnt a good person. She must be having an ambiguous rtionship with the director of Global Fashion! Ning Tongtong was watching the live broadcast backstage. When she heard the reporters words, she had long forgotten that Shu Xinyu had instructed her not toe out. She rushed out in exasperation. Since Qiao Mu was able to bribe Global Fashion, it meant that Qiao Mu was definitely like her. She had sacrificed something, but what could Qiao Mu have? Wasnt she just selling her body like her?! When the reporters saw Ning Tongtong, they hurriedly interviewed her. Shu Xinyu immediately shielded Ning Tongtong behind her. Ive already told you that Tongtongs mental state is not good. Please dont ruin her. Todays interview will end here. Please dont ask any more questions. Shu Xinyu protected Ning Tongtong while being escorted backstage by the security guards. Ning Tongtong was still in a frenzy as she pushed Shu Xinyu. Why dont you let me make things clear? That b * tch Qiao Mu wants to kill me, so I cant let her off! Chapter 905: Qiao Mu Is the Chief culprit (3) Chapter 905: Qiao Mu Is the Chief culprit (3) Tongtong! Wake up. If you continue to be so irrational, your future will be over! Shu Xinyu berated sternly. Ning Tongtongs entire body stiffened. She stared nkly at Shu Xinyu and started crying. Mommy, what should I do, what should I do? Am I not going to have a chance to make aeback? Shu Xinyu frowned. She looked at Ning Tongtong and sighed. How did she be like this? Her Tongtong had always been gentle and kind. She had always been well-educated and reasonable, but why did she lose herposure like this? At the thought of this, Shu Xinyus expression turned cold. It was all because of Qiao Mu. If Qiao Mu did not target Tongtong, Tongtong would not have revealed such a side when she was still a high and mighty heiress! Shu Xinyu took a deep breath and asked, You just said that Qiao Mu has an ambiguous rtionship with the director of Global Fashion. What do you mean? I saw Qiao Mu and that Director Yanging out of the hotel together, so As Ning Tongtong spoke, she observed Shu Xinyus expression. Indeed, a look of disgust shed across Shu Xinyus eyes. Shu Xinyu loathed Qiao Mu even more. C Qiao Mu stood in front of the screen and watched Shu Xinyus downcast expression when she mentioned Ning Tongtong in front of the camera. She wholeheartedly defended Ning Tongtong and pushed all the me onto her.
She felt that it was especiallyughable. If Shu Xinyu still had a bit of conscience, she would not be so ruthless. For her own daughter, she would not care about others. However, the development of the matter was beyond her expectations. She did not expect that in the end, she would be the advantageous party. Shu Xinyu had meticulously prepared a press conference, but she was smearing Ning Tongtong! Qiao Mu didnt know that reporter from Global Fashion. When he stepped forward to help her rify things, she didnt need to think to know who was behind this. Although she did not ask Li Yan for help, he would not just stand by and watch her get bullied. When Qiao Mu walked out of the office and passed by the changing room, she identally bumped into someoneing out from inside. She took a few steps back before she could stabilize herself. Qiao Mu had just steadied herself when she heard an exasperated voice. Dont you have eyes when you walk? If I get hurt, can you take responsibility? The person who spoke was Abby, an international supermodel. Last year, she became famous on the Inte because of a catwalk show. She rose to fame in a very short period of time and developed rapidly. It was said that this year, a famous international brand specially invited her to be a model. She was 1.75 meters tall and 1.8 meters tall in high heels. Her figure was impable, and her face was exquisite. However, there were faint traces of cosmetic surgery, but it was not very obvious. Models with good looks were very popr. However, no matter how beautiful her figure was, the moment she opened her mouth, itpletely destroyed her image. Abby was the one who rushed out and bumped into someone. How could she me someone else? Qiao Mu didnt want to fuss over it, so she indifferently apologized and prepared to leave. However, the other party refused to give up. Forget it if youre sorry? Do you know how expensive I am? If I identally sprain my ankle, can you just apologize? Qiao Mu looked at him. So, what do you want? What kind of attitude is this? Who are you? Which designers assistant are you? After Abby finished speaking, the assistant beside her said, Sister Abby, shes Qiao Mu, a designer under Key. Oh, so its that infamous designer! Its better for me to stay away from her. With that, Abby turned around and left. Qiao Mu did not know that her reputation had already be so influential. She followed Abby out. Abbys figure was indeed very good, and she even wobbled when she walked. She did not know if it was intentional or just a habit. As Abby walked, she asked her assistant, Are you sure hes in the hotel? [Chapter 11. Im still missing one chapter. Its three in the morning. Im too sleepy. Ill make up for two chapters tomorrow.] Ji Lan has basically left the stage. Xia Chen wille out in a while.]
Chapter 906: Husband Is Staring at by a Woman (1) Chapter 906: Husband Is Staring at by a Woman (1) The assistant smiled and nodded. Sister Abby, Ive already asked around. Hes in the room. Alone? Yes, its said that he was specially invited by the Paris Fashion Week to watch the catwalk, but he didnt show up at the fashion show. Abby smiled and twisted her tall body. Her walking posture was extremely charming. Qiao Mus curiosity was piqued, and she smelled something indecent. No matter how she looked at Abby, she felt that she was abnormal. As Qiao Mu left the building, she realized that she and Abby had been walking in the same direction. They crossed the road and headed straight for the hotel across the street. The fashion show had arranged a hotel for the designers and models, so most of the guests in this six-star hotel were here to attend the fashion show. So it was not strange that Abby returned to the hotel. She just did not know who she was looking for. After all, there were many guests attending the fashion week, and they were all people of high status. After entering the hotel, Qiao Mu entered the elevator. When she saw Abbys assistant press the button for the top floor, she stood at the side and did not move. In order to make it easier for him to interact with her, Li Yan stayed in this hotel. However, Li Yan stayed in the presidential suite on the top floor. The famous designers and special guests of the Fashion Week were arranged to stay in the VIP room on the top floor.
It seemed that Abbys target wasnt a nobody. In the elevator, Abby took out some powder and touched up her makeup against the reflective wall of the elevator. Then, she painted her lips bright red and smiled in satisfaction. Her smile was very confident. Qiao Mu took a look. Abby indeed had the capital to be confident. That figure, long legs, proud chest, and curvaceous height were things that most men could notpare to. Fortunately, Qiao Mu wasnt short, but she wasnt wearing high heels, so she was cut off by Abbys 10-centimeter heels. At this moment, Qiao Mus phone rang. She took it out and opened a message. It was a message from Li Yan asking when she would be back. The man seemed to be getting anxious. This man was in the room, waiting for her without leaving the door. Just thinking about it made herugh. He put down his work to apany her, but she was busy with work and had no time to y with him. Thinking about it made her feel a little guilty. At this moment, Abby suddenly looked behind her as if she had just realized that there was someone else in the elevator. She said in surprise,Why are you here? Are you following me? Qiao Mu was speechless. Just because he was tall, did he have eyes that were above his head? If it wasnt for the phone ringing, he wouldnt have noticed her at all! Qiao Mu smiled politely. I live here. Abby finally reacted, but when she saw that the elevator only pressed the button for the top floor, she frowned. Which floor are you going to? At this moment, the elevator door opened and they arrived at the top floor. Qiao Mu pointed at this floor. I came here. Abby was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Qiao Mu. She stepped out of the elevator in her high heels and asked her assistant as she walked, Which room is he staying in? Qiao Mu held her phone and lowered her head to send Li Yan a message. Im out of the elevator. Open the door. As soon as the message was sent, the assistant in front of him said,He lives in room 3608.
3608 If Qiao Mu remembered correctly, this room number belonged to Li Yan! So the person Abby was looking for was Li Yan? She raised her head to look at Abby. As expected, the tall figure stopped outside Li Yans room and pressed the doorbell.
The moment the doorbell was pressed, the door opened. The speed at which the door opened made Abby smile in surprise. Chapter 907: Husband Is Staring at by a Woman (2) Chapter 907: Husband Is Staring at by a Woman (2) Qiao Mu suddenly felt as if she was helping Abby achieve something good. Why did she send Li Yan a message to ask him to open the door?! Didnt he look through the peephole before he opened the door? Alright, although she was the one who asked him to open the door, he couldnt open it so casually! Looking at Abbys expression, she thought that Li Yan opened the door so quickly because she was very popr. What made Qiao Mu even more upset was that this man was casually wearing a silk nightgown. He looked exactly the same as he did when she left in the morning, and he actually did not care about his image at all throughout the morning and just dressed like this to hang out in the room! The belt around her waist was casually knotted, and her sexy chest was vaguely exposed. Her slender legs were exposed, and her sexy leg hairIt made people drool. Of course, Qiao Mu was already immune to it since a long time ago. The one who really wanted to drool was Abby. Abbys eyes were fixed on him in a daze, as if she did not expect Li Yan to dress like this. It was actually veryical, and she gulped. Qiao Mu realized thatpared to other peoples reactions, she was really very calm in front of Li Yan, alright? However, the man who was staring at her by other women was staring at her. The little me in her heart suddenly rose, and she endured it again and again. Abby did not expect that Li Yan would open the door for her so quickly. Moreover, he was dressed so sexily as if he was weing her and waiting for her arrival.
Even though she had worked with many famous models and admired their perfect figures, she was still so agitated that she almost had a nosebleed when she saw the man in front of her. Before this, Abby had seen the video of Li Yan being interviewed outside the restaurant. At that time, she was already smitten by this handsome Asian man. She immediately found the hotel he was staying at and wanted to see him in person. Although that face was cold, it was very charming, making peoples hearts flutter. No wonder Ji Lan would lie about being Li Yans fiance. Who would not want to have something to do with a man like him? His very existence was to lure women into making mistakes. Abby gave Li Yan a smile that she thought was charming. Hello, Mr. Li. I have something to discuss with you. Can you let me in? Abby was full of confidence. After all, Li Yan would open the door for her. How could a man not ept an outstanding beauty like her? Li Yan had been working in his room with hisptop the entire morning. When he saw Qiao Mus text message, he immediately got up to open the door. However, when he saw the woman outside the door, his expression instantly darkened. Especially when that woman was staring at him lecherously, it made him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes emitted endless coldness. Li Yans eyes were cold and emotionless. He said expressionlessly, Who are you? The smile on Abbys face froze. She did not expect Li Yan to not know her! After all, she was a famous international model. Almost everyone who came to attend the Fashion Week knew her. Ever since she became famous, this was the first time someone had asked her the words who are you? But then she thought about it. It was normal for such a high and mighty man to like to pretend to be cold. If she wanted to catch a big fish, she had to put down her status. Abby smiled. Mr. Li, Im Abby, a model for Fashion Week Li Yan did not hear what Abby said at all because he saw Qiao Mu, who was watching the show from the side. Chapter 908: Hitting Her Husband Won’t Kill Her (1) Chapter 908: Hitting Her Husband Wont Kill Her (1) He raised his eyebrows. This little thing saw that his man was being targeted by others and still stood there without saying anything? Abby saw Li Yans reaction and thought that it was directed at her. She was excited and was introducing herself excitedly when the mans cold ck eyes suddenly swept over her. His thin lips parted slightly and he said coldly,Get lost! With a bang, the door closed. Abby was stunned by this sudden change. She stood stiffly outside the door. Her face, which had already been smeared with blush, was even redder now. She stood rooted to the ground for a long time, feeling extremely embarrassed. She raised her hand and wanted to knock on the door, but she was stopped by her assistant. Sister Abby, Li Yan is not someone to be trifled with. He might not be in the mood right now. Why dont we think of another way? Anyway, theres still a long time. It wont be good if we anger him. Abby was so angry that she shook off her assistant. She was stunned to discover Qiao Mus presence. She simply could not raise her head when she saw the embarrassing scene. She turned around and left, with her assistant following quickly behind her. Qiao Mus mood instantly brightened. Her uncle would not disappoint her as expected. She gave him full marks for his manner of driving away beautiful women! However, he actually pretended not to know her and closed the door! She was obviously angry because she was just watching the show.
With Qiao Mus personality, she would not remain indifferent if she saw someone spying on her husband. The small me in her heart burned brightly, and when she saw Abbys confident smile on Li Yans face, she became even angrier. She wanted to show this beauty how to seduce a tall, rich, and handsome man! Qiao Mu stepped forward and walked out of the room before pressing the doorbell. This action made Abby, who was about to leave, stop. The assistant beside her smiled sarcastically and said, So shes here to look for Li Yan as well. With her looks, its a joke if she wants to seduce Li Yan! Abby snorted coldly. Li Yan refused to pick me up just now. How dare she knock on the door again? Where did her confidencee from? Id like to see how shes going to embarrass herself! The two of them stood there, waiting for a good show. Qiao Mu pressed the doorbell. The man in the room seemed to be waiting at the door, and the door seemed to open very quickly. This made Abby a little unhappy. Li Yan actually knew how to open the door. If she had known this would happen, she would have knocked on the door again! Li Yan stood at the door with his arms crossed in front of his chest as he looked at Qiao Mu calmly. He saw the cunning look in the little womans eyes, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that the person from before had not left, so he guessed that she would definitely do something. As Li Yan was thinking about it, he heard her cry out. Then, she threw herself at him unsteadily. He subconsciously opened his arms to catch her. Although the little woman was frowning and looked ufortable, Li Yan could tell that she was faking it. Because of that Aiya, her voice was delicate and a little coquettish. Under normal circumstances, she would not have made such a hypocritical tone. Obviously, she did it on purpose. He looked at her and asked in a low voice, What happened to you? Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest and identally brushed away his sleeping robe. Her face was pressed against his skin, and the scorching heat transmitted to her, causing her to blush and her heart to race. F * ck! Cant you let her put on a good act?! What if someone took advantage of her sexy chest muscles? Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest and wrapped her arms around Li Yans neck. She rubbed her head against his chest, and her voice was soft and gentle, with a heart-wrenching tone. I sprained my ankle. Can you help me into the room to rest?
Chapter 909: She Won’t Be Tortured to Death If She Had Any Thoughts About Her Husband (2) Chapter 909: She Wont Be Tortured to Death If She Had Any Thoughts About Her Husband (2) As she spoke, Qiao Mu moved her ankles and then pretended to frown as if she was in great pain. Li Yan was instantly conquered by this little womans acting skills. He knew that she was faking it, but his body tensed up after being provoked by her delicate performance. Especially since she rarely behaved like this. In front of him, she was very reserved most of the time. Now that she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms and said suggestive words in an ambiguous tone, he could not resist. He really had no resistance to her at all times. Abby, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded. She never expected Qiao Mu to throw herself into Li Yans arms as soon as she came up. She never thought that Qiao Mu would do such an unreserved action, but it seemed to be very effective! Li Yan did not push her away! Moreover, Li Yans shirt seemed to have been rubbed open by her, which made Abby furious. This scheming b * tch! Abby took a deep breath and looked forward to Li Yan pushing Qiao Mu away. Li Yan wasnt even interested in her, so why would he take a fancy to someone like her?
However, what happened next surprised Abby. Come in! Li Yan said. Come in! Not only that, but Qiao Mu even insatiably said in a coquettish voice, I cant walk with my legs. Can you carry me in? Li Yan had no reason to reject such a plea. Seeing the little womans slightly red face and alluring appearance, Li Yan quickly picked her up. She looked like she was in a hurry. It was apletely different person from when he was with Abby. Li Yans performance made Qiao Mu snicker. As expected, her charm was irresistible. She was picked up and closed the door. She inadvertently nced at Abby, who was watching the show. Her exquisite face was filled with shock and surprise, as if she could not ept this fact at all. At the same time, he stared at her with eyes full of disgust and disgust. He could not ept her behavior. Qiao Mu found it funny. Both of them clearly had the same goal-to seduce Li Yan, yet she was disgusted by Abby just because she exposed herself a little? Humph! She did it to provoke Abby. She dared to have designs on her husband. She could not beat her to death! Abby watched as Qiao Mu and Li Yan entered the room and closed the door. She was so angry that her face turned ashen. She had nowhere to vent her anger, so she red at her assistant. Didnt you say that Li Yan is difficult to seduce? Sister Abby, I dont know whats going on either. the assistant said in a panic. As expected, men are all the same. If you want him to take the bait, you can only use the most direct method! Its all your fault. I was about to knock on the door but you stopped me. If I had insisted on knocking, I would be the one being carried into the room by Li Yan! Abby was so angry that she could not breathe properly. Abby, since you know Li Yans preferences, next time, lets You dont have to tell me! Its just that this time, Ill let this Qiao Mu hook up with me first. Can I feel bnced? She looks quite innocent, but shes actually a vixen! After Abby finished speaking, she turned around and left. At the same time, she scolded her assistant, What are you still standing there for? Do we have to listen to them being lovey-dovey outside? C Inside the room, Qiao Mu was carried into the room by Li Yan. She was still enjoying the joy of defeating her love rival. This move was simply too powerful. She even admired herself!
Qiao Mu was immersed in her own joy and was about to im credit from the man when she realized that she had been ced on the sofa. Chapter 910: Too Deep Into Acting, Unable to Extricate Chapter 910: Too Deep Into Acting, Unable to Extricate Qiao Mu raised her head and met the mans gaze. That pair of deep ck eyes shifted from her body to her feet. Then, she squatted down and took off her shoes. Qiao Mu was stunned. What are you doing? Didnt you sprain your ankle? Ill help you check. As he spoke, the mans hands were pinching Li Yans feet. Qiao Mu only felt warmth on her ankle. Looking at the mans serious expression, was he addicted to role-ying? She moved and wanted to pull her foot back, but he held her in his big hand, not allowing her to struggle. Then, his hands moved up from her ankle and pinched her calf and thigh Qiao Mus entire body stiffened, and she pressed down on his hand. Uncle, my leg has already recovered! Is that so? Did you really sprain your ankle? Could it be that you didnt deliberately lie to lure me into my room? The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched violently. He was too deeply immersed in his character and was unable to extricate himself? There was no way she could stop a certain man from continuing. Qiao Mu looked at his sleeping robe and saw arge hole in his chest as if he was deliberately provoking her. She looked up and met the mans smiling eyes. He grabbed her ankle and forcefully pulled, causing her to fall onto the sofa.
Then, he slowly unbuckled his belt, revealing his sexy skin in front of her. She blushed and looked away, reminding him,Its broad daylight now. Dont do anything rash. Didnt you take the initiative to knock on my door in broad daylight? Qiao Mu was speechless. Little thing, you lured me just now, and now youre pretending to be reserved? Qiao Mu red at him. You still dare to say that youre wearing this for other women to admire? Im just teaching her a lesson! The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he pounced on Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu had wanted to reason with him, but she was stunned. She realized that he was serious and hurriedly shouted, Dont do anything rash! Hmm? You sprained your ankle. Its good for you to move your muscles and bones. Li Yan said seriously, but his actions were very indecent. Qiao Mus face was flushed red, and she had no way of stopping him. She could only remind him with a blushing face, The curtains arent closed! Looks like you cant wait any longer. Li Yan scooped Qiao Mu up. Then lets go to a ce where we dont have to draw the curtains! Then, he moved to the bathroom. Qiao Mu realized that she had brought this upon herself. Why did she act with him on a whim just now? Now, she was being eaten dry in broad daylight! Qiao Mus petite body had been tormented for three consecutive days, and the man had made up for all that he had lost during the time they were apart. After that, Qiao Muzily took a nap. When he woke up, he was starving. Li Yan asked the hotels restaurant to deliver a feast on time. Qiao Mu got out of bed and went to the dining room. When she saw Li Yan still wearing his sleeping robezily, she said unhappily, Youre not allowed to dress so casually in the future. Even if youre in a hotel room, you have to dress formally! Li Yanughed. Why? Im dressed so sexily. Are you worried that you wont be able to resist my temptation? Qiao Mu was speechless. This man was really a sweet talker! After Qiao Mu filled her stomach, shezily curled up on the sofa and watched television. The man beside her was working on hisptop with his legs crossed.
He worked while she yed. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed such a warm moment. Initially, Li Yan was alone in the room, but now, the two of them were together. Qiao Mu suddenly thought of something very important. She had actually forgotten about it after she reconciled with Li Yan.
Chapter 911: Being With You Is A Losing Business Chapter 911: Being With You Is A Losing Business Uncle, I have something to ask you, she asked Li Yan in a low voice. Hmm? Li Yan did not look up. His gaze was still fixed on theputer screen. Qiao Mu thought about it and asked, Why did you get together with me back then? Li Yans hand that was typing on the keyboard paused. He turned his head to look at Qiao Mu, and when he saw her serious expression, he raised an eyebrow. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? I want to know. Li Yan ced theptop on the coffee table and leanedzily on the sofa. He ced his hand on her waist and said, Because its you. Why would there be so many whys for many things? Because it was her, he wanted her. He wanted her to be his woman, and he wanted him to be his wife. Although this question was vague, it passed the test. Qiao Mu asked again, Then, between your career and mine, which is more important? You are important.
Li Yan answered without hesitation almost as soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking. There was no need to hesitate about this question. He had already thought about it. If he lost his career, he could get it back. If he lost her, it would drive him crazy. Qiao Mus heart warmed. The conflicted matter in her heart instantly melted because of his reply. It was right for her to choose to believe him. Fortunately, she did not misunderstand him because of her momentary excitement. She took out her phone and searched for a business news article on the Inte. She handed it to him. Is it true that the Li Corporation has acquired the Qiao Corporation? Li Yan nced at the phone screen and understood what the little woman was thinking. He nodded. Its true. After he finished speaking, he saw her looking straight into his eyes. She was not agitated or irrational. She was just quietly waiting for him to exin the reason. He raised his hand to caress her face. Your father asked me to do this. Its a little difficult for him to manage a business with his health, and he doesnt have any descendants to take over for him. So, he wants to bring the Qiao Corporation under the Li Corporation and let me help him manage thepany. So it was like this! Qiao Mus nose felt a little sour when she heard him exin himself. Im sorry, Little Uncle. I almost misunderstood you. Ning Tongtong said that you used me in order to obtain the Qiao Corporation Although she didnt believe it, her heart was still wavering. She was afraid that this was really the truth. Li Yan knocked her head helplessly. Are you a pig? What benefits can I get from using you? Being with you once has always been a losing business. Im the one losing money! Qiao Mu pouted unhappily. No, Im offering myself to you! Li Yanughed. Where did you get such confidence from? Qiao Mu was speechless. Couldnt he satisfy her pride? Qiao Mu was a little unconvinced. Are we really losing money? she asked again. Yes, but your man is rich. He can afford it. These words were quite pleasant to hear.
Qiao Mu felt relieved after the knot in her heart was resolved. It was indeed as Li Yan had said. Even if he wanted to get the Qiao Corporation, he did not need to use her, as she did not seem to be of much use. In order to hit her while she was down, Ning Tongtong had thought of ways to say vicious words to her, yet she was still wavering! Qiao Mu buried her head into Li Yans embrace. By the way, Uncle, how did you bribe the reporter from Global Fashion who was working for Ning Tongtong? Global Fashion is a global mediapany. It cant be bought over with money. It just so happens that Li Group is a shareholder. Li Yan exined calmly.
Qiao Mu was stunned. She looked at Li Yan as if he was a monster. Why was this man involved in all kinds of industries? There was only something she could not imagine, but there was nothing he could not do. Then how did Ning Tongtong get Global Fashion to release that fake video for her? Li Yans expression was indifferent as he answered Qiao Mus question. Use your body. Chapter 912: Mother and Daughter Leave in a Distressed State Chapter 912: Mother and Daughter Leave in a Distressed State Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock. Ning Tongtong had actually done this! This was simply crazy! Qiao Mu smiled sarcastically. If Shu Xinyu knew that her precious daughter had be like this, she would be devastated. Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu. Do you need me to continue attacking? Qiao Mu shook her head. Theres no need. Ning Tongtong should have learned her lesson this time and suffered enough. I dont want to have anything to do with her anymore. Li Yan nodded, respecting her opinion. However, a woman like Ning Tongtong, who would use any means to deal with her, was not someone she could not get involved with just because she did not want to. C In the next two days, Qiao Mu did not need to attend any fashion shows. She would stay in the hotel with Li Yan all day. During this period, Qiao Mus period was about to arrive. She came out of the bathroom and took out a sanitary pad from her bag to save herself. Then, she changed her clothes and went out to buy things.
After Qiao Mu greeted Li Yan, Li Yan did not say anything, thinking that she had gone to buy snacks. Qiao Mu bought some fruits, snacks, and sanitary pads from the supermarket downstairs before walking back with the bag. Then, he saw Shu Xinyu, Ning Tongtong, and the others carrying their suitcases and leaving the hotel. Outside the hotel, there was a car waiting for them. Just as Qiao Mu was feeling puzzled, her phone rang. It was a call from her Key. The call connected, and the voice of the KEY rang out. Qiao Mu, I received an insider message that Shu Xinyus team has been disqualified from participating in the fashion show and will be returning to China today. Qiao Mu was stunned. Why so suddenly? Shu Xinyu created a lot of negative news because of Ning Tongtong. The Fashion Association made this decision for the sake of the fashion weeks image. They asked for it. Key said. Qiao Mu hung up the phone and saw that Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong were in a bad state, looking very disheveled. At this moment, Ning Tongtong saw her and red at her fiercely before walking towards her. Ning Tongtong was no longer as agitated as before. She only looked at Qiao Mus eyes as if she wanted to dig out a piece of meat. She lowered her voice and said, Qiao Mu, Ive lost this round, but it doesnt matter. Ill win in the end. My mother will always stand by my side. Qiao Mu expressionlessly watched the other partys disy of strength. Shu Xinyu, who was behind Ning Tongtong, seemed to be worried that Ning Tongtong would be hurt, so she worriedly stepped forward. Qiao Mu sneered and walked into the hotel. Behind her, Shu Xinyus concerned voice rang out. Tongtong, this woman is very scheming. Dont provoke her again. He was schemingQiao Mus grip on the shopping bags tightened, and she walked forward with steady steps whileughing sarcastically in her heart. Shu Xinyu was really a big joke! I know, Mom. Dont worry. She cant do anything to me in broad daylight. Ill learn my lesson. Ning Tongtong had suffered a great loss. This trip to Paris had caused her to lose a lot, but in the end, she still did not seed! It was naturally a good thing for Qiao Mu that someone she did not want to meet had left. She went to the top floor and coincidentally met Abby again.
Abby came out of another room on this floor with her assistant. As she walked out of the room, she said, I moved to the top floor and lived so close to Li Yan. I dont believe that I cant seed! Qiao Mu wanted tough. Abby really put in a lot of effort! At this moment, Abbys expression turned ugly when she saw Qiao Mu. Then, Qiao Mu leisurely took out her room card and opened the door. [Three chapters left]
Chapter 913: 915-Admirers Came to the Door Chapter 913: Chapter 915-Admirers Came to the Door Qiao Mu had just opened the door when Abby rushed over. Qiao Mu, why do you have Young Master Lis room card? This doesnt seem to have anything to do with you, right? Qiao Mu entered the room and was about to close the door when Abby reached her hand out to block the door and looked at Qiao Mu arrogantly. I have something to discuss with Young Master Li. Help me invite Young Master Li out to meet me. This woman really didnt give up. Qiao Mu smiled. If theres anything, just tell me. Ill pass it on to him. How can I do that? Its very important. I want to talk to him personally. Abby looked into the room, trying to find Li Yan. However, the room was too big and she could not see anything. Qiao Mu had never seen a woman who seduced another persons husband so openly. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Abby calmly. Give up. Li Yan is not interested in your type. Its not up to you to decide whether Im interested or not. Qiao Mu, dont think that you can monopolize Li Yan. Hes sick of your type, so hell naturally be interested in me. Ask Young Master Li toe out. I want to see him! As she spoke, Abby shouted into the room, Young Master Li, I have something to talk to you about. Pleasee out for a moment. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes fiercely. You dont have to shout anymore. Li Yan isnt in his room. If you want to see him, go downstairs and surround him. Really?
If Li Yan was here, how could he not hear you calling him like a pig being ughtered? Even if he heard it, he wouldnte out. Abby thought about it and somewhat believed it. She released her grip on the door, and Qiao Mu then mmed the door shut, finally chasing her away. When Qiao Mu entered the house, she saw that Li Yan was still in the same position as when she left. He was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with hisptop on the low table, concentrating on his work. When he heard her enter, he looked up at her. Whats that sound outside? Your admirer is here. As Qiao Mu spoke, she rolled her eyes at Li Yan. The culprit! Li Yanughed. You should be d that your husband is charming. Then Ill go out and show my charm, okay? Li Yans lips curled up. Although he had a smile on his face, his tone was full of warning. If you dare, go and try. Qiao Mu pouted angrily. Of course she wouldnt dare! C The two of them asked the hotels restaurant to deliver their dinner. When the waiter arrived, Li Yan happened to be taking a shower. The waiter finished his meal and left. Just as Qiao Mu was about to close the door, she saw Abby pounce on her aggressively and ferociously. Qiao Mu, you actually tricked me?! Li Yan has been in the room the whole time. I just asked the hotel front desk and they said that Li Yan hasnte downstairs all day! A delivery man came into this room just now. Hes in the room, right? You didnt really wait downstairs for the entire afternoon, did you? Qiao Mu asked in surprise as she looked at him. Qiao Mu got her answer when she saw Abbys reaction. Heavens! Just how persistent was this woman? Her desire to seduce Li Yan was too deep. She really had been waiting for Li Yan to meet him. Abby was so angry that her face turned ashen. Get out of the way. I want to see Li Yan. I want to tell Li Yan that you tricked me. If he knows that Im meeting him, hell definitely meet me! Qiao Mu blocked the door. Miss Abby, if you take another step forward, Im going to call security. You dont want to embarrass yourself, do you? You! Scream! Well see whos going to lose face then. Youre a designer, and youre living in the same room as a married man. Do you still have the face to let others know?
Qiao Mu smiled. If it were you, would you let the media know? You and I both know that although Li Yan is married, its more beneficial than harmful to have a scandal with him, isnt it? Chapter 914: Frustrate the Rival in Love Chapter 914: Frustrate the Rival in Love Qiao Mus words made Abby choke. Indeed, it was a great benefit to be able to create a scandal with Li Yan. There were many people who wanted to get close to someone of Li Yans status. As long as she became his woman, those who wanted to curry favor with him would all give her benefits. This special treatment was too tempting. However, with Abbys current status, there was no need for hype. She really liked Li Yan and wanted to be his woman. Abby was twenty-eight years old. She was neither young nor old. In this industry, she had tried everything. Along the way, she had been slept with countless times. At the same time, she had slept with many young hunks. Li Yan was such a perfect man. Of course, she wanted to try him. Even if she could not get any benefits from him, she still wanted him! However, she knew that with her looks, as long as she hooked up with Li Yan, that man would definitely be willing to do anything for her. That way, she would not have to tter those old men anymore! Therefore, Abby onlycked a chance to meet him. Although Li Yan was invited to attend the fashion show, he had not appeared at any fashion shows these past few days. She could not help but make a move here, but Qiao Mu had to stop her! It seemed that Qiao Mu had been staying with Li Yan for the past few days. This woman was really hiding her true colors, to be able to make Li Yan interested in her for so long!
Abby snorted. Dont even think about using me to create a scandal for you. No way! Qiao Mu smiled. I dont want to blow things up, so please leave quickly and return to the room next door. Abby gritted her teeth in anger. Qiao Mu, if Li Yan finds out that youre trying to stop me from meeting him, youll be courting death! Thank you for the reminder, but Li Yan probably doesnt know because Qiao Mu paused and smiled arrogantly. Hes showering. She didnt want to be polite to a woman who treated getting involved in someone elses marriage as an honor. She didnt mind lowering her spirit at all. Abbys expression was ever-changing, and Qiao Mu was indescribably happy. It turned out that beating someone up could actually make one so excited. At this moment, the sound of the bathroom door opening could be heard. Qiao Mu saw a glimmer of hope in Abbys eyes, thinking that she would have a chance once Li Yan came out. Qiao Mu revealed a sly smile and shouted toward the bedroom, Hubby, are you done showering? Come out and eat. Alright. A deep voice came from the bedroom. It was a maic voice that could make peoples hearts flutter. Qiao Mu looked at Abby provocatively. Im sorry, but were going to have dinner together. Without giving Abby a chance to react, he mmed the door shut. Abby looked at the tightly shut door and kicked it angrily. The kick was so hard that she grimaced in pain. Damn it, she did not believe that she would not have a chance to get close to Li Yan! What Abby did not know was that not getting close to Li Yan was the best oue. It did not matter if she was angered by Qiao Mu, but if she really got close to Li Yan, she would really be in trouble! C Inside the house, Li Yan walked out of the bedroom. When he saw Qiao Mu smiling happily, he pulled her into his embrace. Whats so happy about? Im not telling you! She could not help but blush when she smelled the fragrance of his body. She pushed him away, but he didnt push her away. He refused to give up and asked, What did you just call me? Call me again. Qiao Mu rolled her eyes. Big Brother, if you dont eat, the food will get cold!
The corners of Li Yans mouth curled up. Oh, so you want to y the game of lovers with me tonight? Chapter 915: If Only We Had Not Separated During Those Ten Years Chapter 915: If Only We Had Not Separated During Those Ten Years Qiao Mu was speechless. Qiao Mus face darkened. Seeing Li Yans expectant look, she did not have the heart to tell him that she was on her period! In fact, sometimes, her period was really quite intimate. At least she could have some time off. Dinner was a local wild seafood feast. Li Yan knew that Qiao Mu liked seafood, so he would always order dishes ording to her preferences. There was a variety of dishes, including salmon sashimi, fried tuna, salt-baked prawns, phoenix fish, spicy stir-fried crab, steak, and vegetable sd. Qiao Mu ate happily, not caring if her body could eat cold and spicy food. She ate and drank to her hearts content and even drank two sses of red wine with Li Yan. After eating, Qiao Mu felt a little tipsy, and her entire body felt light. After getting up, Qiao Mu fell into Li Yans arms. The beauty threw herself into his arms, and Li Yan carried Qiao Mu into the bedroom. Qiao Mu vaguely realized something and immediately stopped Li Yan. Uncle, you cant.
Hmm? Li Yan admired the little womans flushed face. His body suddenly tensed up, and a ball of fire burned. Li Yan was about to continue when Qiao Mus next words sent him straight to hell. Um, Im on my period. Li Yans face instantly turned colorful. His hands froze and the burning mes were instantly extinguished. She gritted her teeth and red at the innocent-looking woman. Qiao Mu, you did it on purpose, didnt you? I forgot to mention it. Qiao Mu pouted and leaned against Li Yans body, enjoying lying in his arms. Li Yan was both angry and helpless. He had taken half a month to apany this woman, but she had given him a big surprise. Half of the time, he could not touch her! When Qiao Mu saw Li Yans unhappy expression, she was in a good mood andughed out loud, taking pleasure in his misfortune. Li Yan flipped her over and pped her on the butt. He only let her go when she wailed and begged for mercy. Qiao Mu was tired from the torment, and the effects of the alcohol slowly wore off. Her stomach started to ache faintly, and the pain became more and more severe. She looked at Li Yan pitifully. Uncle, my stomach hurts. Li Yans face darkened. Youre on your period, eating spicy food and drinking alcohol. Qiao Mu, do you need a beating? Youve already touched me just now. Qiao Mus mouth twitched, and her expression made ones heart ache. Li Yan sighed and ced her under the nket. Qiao Mu looked at his busy figure as he walked around the house, pouring her tea and water. Then, he sat by the bed and rubbed her stomach. She smiled contentedly. After a while, she sighed and said, Uncle, if only we hadnt been separated during those ten years. She was so blissful every day when she was with him. They were together for 24 hours. Even if they were busy and did not speak, she felt very fulfilled. They could have been together for a longer time, but unfortunately, they had to be separated for so long. If he had always been by her side during the ten years she grew up, how happy would she be? Li Yan smiled. I cant change the past, but in the future, we will never be apart. The unhappiness of the past was to prepare for the happiness of the future.
When Qiao Mu thought about it this way, she felt more at ease. Qiao Mu fell asleepfortably with Li Yan rubbing her stomach. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Li Yan walked out of the bedroom and heard someone shouting outside the door. Mr. Li, are you there? Im Abby. Li Yan dialed the hotel security line. Two minutester, Abby was chased away by the security guard.
[Today is a little earlier than yesterday. The time has been brought forward a little over the past few days.] Chapter 916: You’re the One Who’s Feeling Uncomfortable Chapter 916: Youre the One Whos Feeling Ufortable After Qiao Mu woke up, she felt refreshed. The man beside her was still there, and she burrowed into his warm chest, feeling very happy. Li Yan was woken up by her and turned sideways to hug her in his arms. He did not allow her to move. She moved slightly, but he hugged her even tighter. The deep voice had a hint of a nasal voice that had just woken up. It was very sexy and sounded above her head.Dont move. Sleep. I have to get up. I have work today. Her face was pressed against his chest as she blew on his breath. Li Yan ced his hand on the back of her head and pressed her face against his chest. Sleep a little longer. He hadnt hugged her enough and she wanted to get up. He still liked herzing in bed. Qiao Mu had slept earlyst night, so she was full of energy at this moment, so how could she possibly fall asleep? It was rare for her to see himzing around in bed, so she was tempted to y around. She bit a certain part of his chest teasingly. As expected, the mans body stiffened and his grip on her loosened a little. Li Yan looked down at her. Do you think I cant touch you because youre in your safe period now? Qiao Muughed arrogantly. Why dont you try touching me?
Li Yan narrowed his eyes and kissed her as a punishment. His hands started to move. Qiao Mu whimpered and twisted her body in an attempt to dodge his attack. After a while, she begged for mercy.I was wrong, I was wrong. Dont y with fire. Youre the one whos suffering! This little thing! Li Yan pinched her P * nis. Dont you feel ufortable? Qiao Mu was speechless. Ufortable your sister! Qiao Mu pushed him away with a red face and got off the bed. Then, she realized that there was a pool of red on the bed. It had leaked out when she was fooling around with him earlier Qiao Mus lips twitched, and she nced at Li Yan awkwardly. At this moment, he also noticed that the bedsheets were dirty, so he raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Little thing, you If you think its dirty, try it! Qiao Mu did not wait for Li Yan to finish his sentence and interrupted him. Li Yan leaned against the headboard and curled his lipszily.I just wanted to remind you that your pants are bleeding. Qiao Mu was stunned. With a flushed face, she covered her P * nis and dashed into the bathroom. Half an hourter, Qiao Mu finished showering and changed into a clean set of clothes. When she walked out of the bedroom, breakfast had already been delivered. At the same time, the hotel staff came to clean the room. Qiao Mu was eating breakfast when she saw that the room service was preparing to clean the room. She frowned. Why are you so early? Its so awkward! Li Yanughed. Which woman hasnt bled before? Why are you so shy? Qiao Mus almond-shaped eyes widened. This man was really thick-skinned! In the bedroom, the two waitresses who were cleaning the room were talking in local French. Their voices were very soft, but they were enough to reach the dining room. Qiao Mu did not understand French, but she noticed that Li Yans expression was very bad. When the two of them came out of the room after cleaning, Qiao Mu looked up and unintentionally met their sympathetic gazes, which made her feel somewhat baffled. It was just her period that dirtied the bedsheets. Was there a need to look at her pitifully? Was there a very expensive fine?
Li Yan nced at the two waiters coldly. The two of them lowered their heads and left dejectedly. What did they say just now? Qiao Mu asked. Nothing much. Dont lie to me, tell me!
Do you really want to know? Qiao Mu nodded. Li Yan curled his lips and whispered something into Qiao Mus ear. Qiao Mus face instantly turned green and white. She red at him. Dont think you can fool me just because I dont understand French! Chapter 917: Can’t Keep Up With Her Brain Circuit Chapter 917: Cant Keep Up With Her Brain Circuit I dont want to tell you. Youre the one who insisted on knowing. Qiao Mus face gradually reddened, wishing she could find a hole to hide in. Li Yan said that the waiter thought that he was a person who had a habit of being abused. He thought that the blood on the bedsheet was caused by the abuse. Qiao Mu finally understood why the waiter was looking at her. It turned out that he really sympathized with her! She was simply too ashamed to face anyone! Were they not women? Didnt he know that women had their period? Was this the quality of a six-star hotel? She wanted to file aint! Seeing the man smiling at her, Qiao Mu buried her head in her food and ignored him. However, Li Yans level of education was really high. He could master thenguages of all countries and was good at all fields of knowledge. It seemed that he was omnipotent. On the other hand, she could only barely understand English, a foreignnguage. She was only good at her professional knowledge and knew nothing else. Her grades in school were pretty good, butpared to him, she was really a cker! Thinking about it this way, she really felt inferior.
Li Yan noticed that the little woman was staring at his bowl in a daze without moving, so he thought that she was shy. The next second, he saw Qiao Mu raise her head and stare at him with her big eyes. She asked in puzzlement, Li Yan, why are you so outstanding? Li Yan could not keep up with Qiao Mus train of thought at all, and he raised his eyebrows. Whats on your mind? Qiao Mu ignored his words and nodded her head. Looks like Ill have to work harder. Otherwise, the distance between us will widen and youll shake me off. After that, Qiao Mu finished the milk, got up, and walked out. When she reached the door, she took her coat and bag and waved goodbye to Li Yan. Li Yan was speechless. Did this little thing treat him like air? C Qiao Mu went to the workshop to make preparations. There was a fashion show in the afternoon, and since the matching of the clothes had already been prepared, she was not busy. After Qiao Mu finished her work, she sat on the sofa and watched the live broadcast of other brands fashion shows while drinking hot water. Leo held a cup of coffee and sat down at the side. He nced at Qiao Mu and asked in a gossipy manner, Have you been with your husband these past few days? Qiao Mu was a little embarrassed to hear this form of address from someone elses mouth, so she nodded with a smile. Leo had seen Li Yan propose to her with his own eyes and had her WeChat, so he was very clear about hertest updates. Qiao Mu, I really thought that you werent Li Yans fiance. I even thought that you were his Leo said. Im sorry. Qiao Mu smiled. Its alright, Teacher Leo. I didnt exin myself. Its not your fault. Thats good. Only then did Leo feel relieved. On the live broadcast, a brandunch ended. Leo was puzzled. Eh, why isnt Abby here? Shes a specially invited model for this brand. Last night, Abby seemed to be harassing other tenants and was reported. When the security guards chased her away, she sprained her ankle and needed to rest for two days, so her performance was canceled, the staff exined. Harassing tenants? What happened? Qiao Mu was astonished. The other party shook his head. Im not sure about the details. Its just that Abby moved to the top floor of the hotel to get close to someone. In the end, that person got the security guards to deal with him.
Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh when she heard this. Li Yan was indeed ruthless and urate. She had never thought of this move! This time, Abby was really asking for trouble. Chapter 918: Young Master Li, Can You Help Me Back to My Room? Chapter 918: Young Master Li, Can You Help Me Back to My Room? Li Yan finally appeared in the audience because Qiao Mus fashion show was in the afternoon. Qiao Mu was watching the live broadcast on television in her office, searching for Li Yans figure. She saw him sitting among the crowd of fashionistas and celebrities, still looking noble and extraordinary. His innate aura was something that no one could suppress. After the models runway show ended, the fashion designer went on stage. Qiao Mu stood on the runway and smiled at Li Yan, who was below the stage. She looked at the beautiful women around her who were flirting with him. Qiao Mu wanted to tell everyone that this man was hers as soon as possible! After the press conference ended, Qiao Mu was about to go look for Li Yan when she bumped into Abby limping over to her. It was as if she was relying on the fact that she was a disabled person and that no one could do anything to her. She looked extremely arrogant. Abbys eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, youre really sinister. If you didnt ask the security guards to chase me away, would I be injured now? Do you think I wont be able to see Li Yan just because youve stopped me from seeing him? Li Yan is in the audience now. Ill go see him now! Abby was resting in her room, but when she saw Li Yan during the press conference, she immediately rushed over and did not give up any chance to meet Li Yan. Qiao Mu was helpless. Youre already injured to this extent, yet youre still not giving up? Why should I give up? If you can be Li Yans lover, so can I! When I ascend the throne, you will be abandoned. Hmph! At that time, Ill make you pay back ten times the injury on my foot! Qiao Mu shrugged and did not stop him. She smiled and said, Then I wish you good luck. Go realize your daydream. Abby was too naive. How could Li Yan be so easy to get close to?
She tried to stop her again and again, but Abby still did not know what to do. She could only stand by and watch the show. Abby limped away arrogantly and walked towards the press conference venue. At this moment, Li Yan was about to leave the table. Just as he stood up, someone appeared in front of him and blocked his way. Li Yan looked at him coldly and his thin lips moved. Move aside. Abby had long expected Li Yan to be so cold. She understood that this man was a hypocrite. As long as he was a little more enthusiastic, he would still be unable to withstand it. Thinking of this, Abby did not take Li Yans indifference seriously at all. She smiled and said, Mr. Li, Im Abby. Ive been wanting to meet you. Id like to invite you to watch my fashion show. Its a lingerie show. As Abby spoke, she did not forget to give Li Yan a smile that she thought was charming. However, she did not know that when Li Yan looked at her, he only had one thought:Disgusting! Li Yan smirked coldly. Sorry, Im not interested in disabled peoples shows. These words were really ruthless! Abbys expression turned ugly. She smiled awkwardly. Mr. Li, you must be joking. My leg will recover soon. Move aside! Dont make me repeat myself! Li Yan did not have the patience to talk nonsense. The disgust in his eyes was revealed without any concealment. However, Abby could not see it at all. She gave her assistant a look, and the assistant immediately let go of Abby. Then, Abby fell unsteadily towards Li Yan and said in a delicate voice, Mr. Li, my leg is crooked. Can you help me back to my room? As she spoke, Abbys body almost touched Li Yans chest. Qiao Mu happened to pass by and saw this scene. The corner of his mouth twitched violently, and he almost burst outughing. Was this woman an idiot? It was the exact same case, the exact same lines. She had actually copied the method she used to get close to Li Yan! Chapter 919: Imitating Qiao Mu Doesn’t Work Chapter 919: Imitating Qiao Mu Doesnt Work It was fake that she sprained her ankle, but it was real for Abby! However, she was able to seed because this man was hers. Abby was an idiot to think that this method would work on everyone. Qiao Mu couldnt help but sympathize with Abby. The so-called big-breasted brainless woman was precisely this kind of woman who was hopelessly stupid! Abby was very confident and thought that everything was under her control. She deliberately wore a low-cut tight-fitting top with a t cor. With Li Yans height, he could clearly see the surging waves in her chest from his angle. He would definitely take the initiative to support her! Therefore, she was putting all her weight on Li Yan, getting closer and closer to him Just as she was about to fall into Li Yans arms, Abby closed her eyes and began to enjoy the strong chest that was about to catch her. Li Yan looked at the woman who was charging at him, and a cold glint shed across his eyes. He turned his body to the side and dodged the obstacle. Abby continued to lunge forward, but she didnt knock down her expected broad chest. Her assistant called out softly, Sister Abby! Abby frowned. Why was this damned assistant disturbing her?! She opened her eyes and was shocked to find that Li Yan was no longer in front of her. Before she could react, she fell to the ground in the next second.
A scream sounded, and everyone looked over. Some reporters came over to take pictures of Abbys sorry state. This time, not only was Abbys foot injured, but even her face, which was relying on her to eat, was also injured. Li Yan was nowhere to be seen in the hall. C The car drove on the road. Laughter rang out in the car. Li Yan looked at the woman beside him helplessly. Your husband was taken advantage of by someone else. Are you that happy? When Qiao Mu thought of the scene just now, she couldnt help but want tough. She took a deep breath and suppressed herughter. She said nonchntly, Didnt you say that you werent taken advantage of? Its harder than ascending to the heavens for others to touch you. So, youre disappointed? No! Im so happy. Qiao Mu saw that Li Yan was still unhappy, so she held his arm and asked with a smile, Hubby, what are our ns for the future? The word hubby made all of Li Yans bad emotions disappearpletely. He raised his arm and put it around her shoulder. Youve been working here every day. Ill bring you around. Qiao Mu was so happy that she wanted to hug Li Yan and give him a kiss. However, before she could kiss him, she realized that Superintendent Ouyang was driving in front. She immediately sat down obediently and acted more reserved. Ouyang, who was in front, silently isted himself. Now, he felt a little pity for Lei Yi. He watched others show off their love all day long. These days were really not good. Qiao Mu leanedzily on Li Yans shoulder and went online with her phone. Then, she saw thetest headline on Weibo. Ji Lans erotic photos! Ji Lans waist injury had yet to recover, but she had already returned to the country dejectedly. Because of the matter of pretending to be Li Yans fiance, her reputation had already spread on the Inte. This matter had not stopped yet, and erotic photos had been leaked again! Qiao Mu raised her head and looked at Li Yan. Uncle, did you do Ji Lans matter?
No. Liar! Li Yans expression was indifferent. Ouyang did it. Qiao Mu was speechless.
What Superintendent Ouyang did was also what he did. At this moment, Superintendent Ouyang immediately stood up to take credit. Sister-inw, I saw that this woman wanted to ruin your rtionship with Boss, so I stood up for you. You dont have to thank me too much. Chapter 920: Abby’s End Chapter 920: Abbys End Qiao Mu smiled at Ouyang Shuo. Thank you. No need to thank me. Superintendent Ouyang wasughing happily. As sheughed, she felt a cold light sweep over from behind her. She looked at the rearview mirror and saw a pair of malicious ck eyes. Superintendent Ouyang immediately stopped smiling and focused on driving. Boss was really fickle. He had just pushed the credit to him, but now he was unhappy. However, this matter was indeed done by him. Young Master Li only moved his mouth. He was the one who really contributed. Ji Lan was ruthless and ruthless in this matter, just like Li Yan. Initially, Ji Lans negative image had already reached a point where it could not be salvaged. No matter how much Ji Lanspany tried to do public rtions for her, it was useless. There was no chance for her to make aeback. From then on, Ji Lan would never have the chance to appear in front of the camera again. Li Yan had used his actions to prove that the person he wanted to kill would never let go of a chance to live. In the following days, besides attending fashion shows, Qiao Mu spent all her time eating, drinking, and having fun with Li Yan. Li Yan hadpletely be a full-time husband. He did nothing but apany her wholeheartedly. This feeling was extremely good. Abby was still unwilling to give up on Li Yan. She had just recovered from her injury, so she took advantage of Qiao Mus absence to get Li Yans room card from the hotel manager through her connections and sneak into Li Yans room. Li Yan was working. When he saw the woman who came in, his face darkened. Abby went forward recklessly and did not approach Li Yan. She just sat by the bed and looked at Li Yan seductively. She said coquettishly, Young Master Li, what Qiao Mu can give you, I can do the same too. Youve been eating the same vor for so long, do you want to change it? As she spoke, Abby pulled her cor down. She had always believed that there was no man she could not hook up with. Of course, Li Yan was no exception.
Li Yans lips curled up coldly, but there was no trace of a smile in his dark eyes. He said coldly, Do you know the consequences of barging into my room? Of course, Young Master Li. Please. Abby smiled ambiguously. Li Yan stood up and looked down at Abby. Youre not the first person who dared to barge into my room. There were people who did not know what was good for them in the past, but they ended up very badly! Abby was stunned for a moment before sheughed. Young Master Li, youre really good at scaring people. Just how miserable is it? Let me see it to my hearts content. Wait here. Li Yan said and left the room. Abby felt that hope hade. Li Yan asked her to wait. What was he doing? While waiting for Li Yan, Abby took off her clothes andy down in an ambiguous position, looking forward to Li Yans return. Five minutester, there was amotion at the door. Abby was delighted. The next second, a group of people rushed in and all kinds of cameras were shooting at her. The sudden change shocked Abby. She reacted and quickly pulled the nket over her body to cover herself. Unfortunately, it was toote. She had already taken everything that needed to be taken. Abby screamed, What are you doing? Get out of here! You broke into my room and filmed illegally. Im going to sue you! Ms. Abby, the security guard said, Mr. Li has informed us that you broke into his room with the intention of harassing him. So, you are the one who broke into someone elses room illegally. The reporter took the opportunity to speak up. Abby, ording to the security guard, this is not the first time. In the middle of the night, the security guard received a call from Young Master Li reporting you for harassment. Did you lose your face just to seduce Young Master Li? Chapter 921: Murong Chao Is Coming to Paris Chapter 921: Murong Chao Is Coming to Paris Abby, dont you know that Li Yan is already married? Do you want to be a mistress? Abby.. The questions were thrown at Abby. Abby was stunned when she faced the camera. Her mind went nk. In the end, she covered herself with a nket and screamed for the reporters to get lost. This incident caused another storm on the Inte. Abby was immediately disqualified from the fashion week. She was so agitated that her luck did notst long and instantly became worthless. With the two living examples of Ji Lan and Abby, no one dared to have any designs on Li Yan anymore. At the same time, Li Yans image of loving his wife and being devoted to her spread. He became the best candidate for the worlds best husband in the eyes of everyone and was praised by the majority ofizens. Qiao Mu was relieved now. No one would dare to have designs on Li Yan anymore. Li Yans high-profile behavior had saved her a lot of trouble. After Abbys ruckus, Li Yan moved into Qiao Mus room. When Qiao Mu finished her work and returned to her room, she heard Superintendent Ouyang reporting to Li Yan, Boss, Murong Chaos matters in China have been settled. He didnt return to China but is preparing toe to Paris. The shipment in the south isnt going well. It seems that Murong Chaos people are stopping him and deliberately causing trouble for us
Li Yan frowned. Go back and keep an eye on them. Inform me if anything happens. Boss, arent you going to settle it yourself? Li Yan was about to say something when he saw Qiao Mu enter, but he said to Superintendent Ouyang, You can get up now. You can settle everything yourself. Ouyang Shuo was speechless. Boss was getting more and more careless. However, Ouyang Shuo did not know that Li Yan was worried that Murong Chao wasing to Paris, and Qiao Mu was coincidentally in Paris. How could he let Qiao Mu meet that dangerous person alone? Did something happen to you? Qiao Mu asked after Superintendent Ouyang left. If theres anything, you can go back first. Anyway, Ill be done in these two days. Li Yans lips curled up slightly. Its nothing. I promised to apany you on our honeymoon. How can I leave? Qiao Mu did not want to hinder Li Yans work, nor did she want to be separated from him. Since he wanted to stay, she was more than happy to do so. Qiao Mu went to take a shower, and Li Yan took the time to have a video conference with Su Chen and a few other people in the country regarding foreign goods. Ling Xi then volunteered, Big Brother, Murong Chao must be plotting something against Sister-inw when he went to Paris. Thats why Ive decided to go and help you. Li Yan snorted. Am I doing this for me or for the woman? Ling Xi was stunned. You already know? Sister-inw is too talkative. Big Brother, its settled then! Lu Jingzhi was puzzled. Brother, when did Little Four have a woman? Who did he take a fancy to? Before Li Yan could say anything, he heard someone shouting from the bathroom, Uncle, pass me my pajamas. Immediately after, Li Yan hung up the video call and strode towards the bathroom. Qiao Mu stretched out her hand, wanting to catch her sleepiness, but she couldnt touch it even after scratching for a long time. Instead, she felt a naked body. Immediately after, Li Yan walked in openly under Qiao Mus astonished gaze. Im going to take a shower too. After Im done, well go out together. Theres no need to wear pajamas. Qiao Mu red at him with a red face and used the towel to cover her body. Then, she saw the man approaching her and looking at her with an ambiguous gaze. Little thing, did your rtive leave? Qiao Mu was speechless. Did you just leave? Had he always been thinking about this?
Chapter 922: I Heard You Have Countless Admirers? Chapter 922: I Heard You Have Countless Admirers? In thest few days, Qiao Mu was rather free. She was currently helping the models match their outfits for the magazine cover shoot. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure walking backstage. She said in surprise,Young Master Ling, why are you here? Ling Xi leisurely tucked his hands into his pockets and swept his gaze across the surroundings. His gaze locked onto Ye Nuan before he answered Qiao Mu, Big Brother asked me toe help. Since I had nothing to do, I came in to take a look. Then, Ling Xi sat down on the sofa like a boss. Sister-inw, your sister-inw hasnt done anything out of line recently, has she? Qiao Mu was speechless. I did. What? Ling Xi stood up immediately. Qiao Mu smiled and said, Dont be so agitated. Although Ye Nuan has many admirers, she hasnt epted anyone elses pursuit. Shes still very loyal to you. Ling Xi frowned. Many admirers? Of course. Although Ye Nuan is a neer at the Fashion Week, she quickly became famous and is now extremely popr. When a model appears on the stage of Paris Fashion Week, her status will be different. With more attention, there will naturally be more admirers.
Qiao Mu wasnt joking. There were indeed people around Ye Nuan who tried to curry favor with her, but they were all coldly rejected. Qiao Mus words made Ling Xis expression turn a little ugly. He looked at Ye Nuan, who was filming. That woman of hers was wearing an exquisite gown and was posing elegantly in front of the camera. He hadnt seen her for nearly a month. How did this woman be more and more beautiful? Qiao Mu noticed that Ling Xi was obviously not just using Ye Nuan for his own benefit, so she smiled and said, Young Master Ling, you have to hurry up. A great beauty like her will be snatched away if youre not careful. Ling Xi looked at Qiao Mu and snorted. Who dares to snatch it? This woman is with me for my power. Tell me, who else can satisfy her needs better than me? At this moment, Ye Nuan had just finished filming and was walking towards them. When she heard Ling Xis words, she stopped in her tracks and turned to walk away as if nothing had happened. When she saw Ling Xi earlier, she was indeed very surprised. She thought that he hade to look for her on purpose. After hearing his words, she realized that they were only in a business rtionship. How could hee here just to see her? Qiao Mu looked at Ling Xi as if she was looking at an idiot and reminded him helplessly, See, theyre all gone. Ling Xi strode forward and grabbed Ye Nuan. Hey, didnt you see me? Where are you going? Young Master Ling, Im working! Ye Nuan replied expressionlessly. Do you need me to remind you that I gave you this job? Do you believe that Ill immediately cancel your job if you treat me like this? Ling Xis words were arrogant and domineering. He wanted Ye Nuan to say something, but this woman only replied coldly, Yes. In an instant, Ling Xi was furious. He came to see how this woman was doing, but she had such an attitude! Alright, this womans attitude had never been good! This made him feel that he was just a tool for her! Ling Xi tightened his grip on Ye Nuans hand and said sarcastically, I heard that you have countless admirers? Someone confessed to you? Ye Nuan was stunned and looked at Ling Xi in confusion. Young Master Ling, this seems to be outside your jurisdiction. Are you saying that I cant do anything about it? Whats your rtionship with me now? If you ept another man behind my back, where will my face go?
Chapter 923: Murong Chao Has His Eyes on Qiao Mu (1) Chapter 923: Murong Chao Has His Eyes on Qiao Mu (1) Ye Nuan smiled. Dont worry, Young Master Ling. It wont happen. Just like you said, none of my admirers are more powerful than you. You woman! Ling Xi was furious. He hade to see her the moment he got off the ne! Qiao Mu looked at the two of them from the side. Their rtionship was much worse than she had imagined. Reality had proven that Li Yans brothers did not have very high EQ. Their IQ was all focused on their careers, and they were seriously failing in rtionships. Qiao Mu turned around and was about to leave when she saw a person enter from the entrance. It was Murong Chao! Qiao Mu was startled. She turned around and wanted to find a ce to hide, but there was nothing behind her, and Murong Chao had already seen her. Little thing, Ive finally found you! Murong Chao smiled as he walked toward Qiao Mu. On the other side, Ling Xi heard Murong Chaos voice and quickly let go of Ye Nuan. He strode over to Qiao Mu, blocking himself between Qiao Mu and Murong Chao, and greeted her with azy smile, Murong, what a coincidence. Why are you in Paris? Qiao Mu shot Ling Xi a grateful gaze and took the opportunity to leave through another door. Murong Chao raised his eyebrows. He smiled with interest when he saw Qiao Mu escape. Young Master Ling, you seem to be deliberately preventing me from meeting my girlfriend. Girlfriend? Ling Xi looked around and saw that there was no one around. He asked in confusion, Where is your girlfriend? Murong Chao narrowed his eyes. I heard that Boss Li has been in Paris all this while. Now that youre here, whats so important in Paris that both of you are here together? I also want to ask you. It wasnt easy to settle the matter. Why didnt you go back to your territory? Why did youe to Paris? I told you, Im here to look for my girlfriend. But she was scared away by you. Ill look for her another day. Murong Chao turned around and left. Ling Xi was d that Li Yan was not present when he heard Murong Chao calling her girlfriend. If his wife was called girlfriend by someone else, wouldnt his brother be furious? Ling Xi called Li Yan and reported the matter to him. When he turned around to look for Ye Nuan, he realized that the woman had already left! Previously, Ling Xi had mocked Lu Jingzhi for not being able to control a woman. Now, it was his turn to be humiliated. Wasnt she just a woman? He did not believe that he could not control it! Qiao Mu went all the way back to the hotel to look for Li Yan. While she was walking along the corridor, the door of the room next to her suddenly opened and a force pulled her in. She was so frightened that she screamed. Then, she heard a familiar voice above her head. Dont be afraid, its me. Qiao Mu instantly heaved a sigh of relief. You scared me to death. I thought Murong Chao? You already know? Why is he here? Qiao Mu asked. Li Yan nced at her and said unhappily, I heard that hes here to look for his girlfriend. Qiao Mu was speechless. This joke was not funny at all. Qiao Mu entered the room and realized that this was not her room. Li Yan seemed to know what she was thinking and exined, I booked another room to prevent Murong Chao from finding your room through your room records. Qiao Mu was a little worried. Uncle, what should we do now? He really seems to be pestering me? If he finds out about our rtionship, will it cause you trouble? Why dont you leave first? Li Yan was helpless. So, you want me to abandon my wife? Dont worry, he doesnt have the ability to cause me trouble. At that time, he did not want Murong Chao to know about his rtionship with Qiao Mu because he wanted Qiao Mu to be in less danger. However, Murong Chao had his eyes on Qiao Mu now, and he had chased her all the way to Paris. How could he possibly hide it? [Todays update is over. Good night ~] Chapter 924: Murong Chao Has His Eyes on Qiao Mu (2) Chapter 924: Murong Chao Has His Eyes on Qiao Mu (2) Qiao Mu looked at Li Yans cool appearance and hooked her arms around his neck. Uncle, why are you so handsome?! Li Yanughed. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned closer to her. So, your husband is so handsome. Shouldnt you show some appreciation? Qiao Mu was speechless. Why was this man thinking about such things all the time? Although she had made him eat vegetarian food for a few days, she had clearly made it up to himst night! She thought about how he had taken advantage of her in the bathroom when she asked him to bring her pajamasst night. She blushed and her heart raced when she thought about how hungry he was. This man was getting more and more demanding! With this thought, Qiao Mus face reddened even more. She cleared her throat and said, Uncle, my work is not over yet. I snuck back, so I have to go back to work. Li Yans expression froze. Then, the little woman broke free from his arms. As she walked out, she said seriously,Uncle, youre just too free. If you put more effort into your work, you wont always think about such things. I dont like a husband who doesnt work hard. Li Yan was speechless. This little thing! Li Yan stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Mu. He pushed her against the wall and kissed her fiercely. After kissing her for a while, he finally let go of her. His voice was low and close to her ear, Be good. Ill show you tonight. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched fiercely. She pushed her away with a red face and fled in a sh. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he watched Qiao Mu leave. When Qiao Mus figure disappeared, the smile on his face vanished, and his expression darkened bit by bit. Li Yan walked out of the hotel and received a call from Superintendent Ouyang. Boss, weve found out the truth. Murong Chaos purpose ining to Paris this time is actually to target sister-inw. Theres a business worth nine figures in the Southeast region that Murong Chao has his eyes on. This batch of goods is in our pocket, and if Murong Chao wants to get this batch of goods, he can only use threats to us. Therefore, I think he wants to make a move on sister-inw and make you let go of your own ord. Li Yans eyes darkened. He found out about Qiao Mu? Not yet. He doesnt know sister-inws identity yet. Ouyang replied. Li Yans lips curled up coldly. Doesnt he like to do shady things at the end of other peoples lives? Then give him a taste of some trouble and make him have no choice but to go back! Yes, boss! Superintendent Ouyang replied. Li Yan put down the phone and saw Murong Chao walking over. Murong Chao smiled. Boss Li, we run into each other everywhere we go. I heard that theres a problem with your goods. Boss Li, you didnt go to solve it yourself, but you stayed in Paris for a vacation. Im in a good mood. Li Yan smiled. You tter me. Im too tired from work. I need to take a break. Boss Li sure knows how to enjoy life. I heard from the media that youre already married. Boss Li is really not a good friend. I must give you a congrattory gift. Murong Chao smiled and paused before asking, I wonder who has the good fortune to be favored by Boss Li? Its better if you dont know about this. I still have something to do. Ill be leaving first. Li Yan nodded politely at Murong Chao and left. If Murong Chao dared to have any designs on Qiao Mu, he would definitely make this man leave lying down! Murong Chao looked at Li Yans back and his subordinate said, Boss, Li Yan hid his wife so well that the media didnt notice. We cant find out either. [Itll be eventer today. Later.] Chapter 925: Murong Chao Has His Eyes on Qiao Mu (3) Chapter 925: Murong Chao Has His Eyes on Qiao Mu (3) Murong Chao sneered. He must be living with his wife. Its easy to find out! But, can he be threatened by using his wife to discuss business with him? In order to apany his wife in Paris, Li Yan gave up hispany and business. Do you think his wife is not important to him? Murong Chao looked at his subordinate as if he was looking at a stupid pig. Li Yan protected his wife so tightly that he was afraid that others would find out. It was enough to show how important she was. Previously, Murong Chao had thought that Ji Lan was Li Yans fiance. When Li Yan denied it, Murong Chao still did not believe him. He thought that Li Yan was deliberately misleading the public and putting on an act. After Ji Lans scandal and erotic photos were reported, Murong Chao was certain that Ji Lan was just a cover! Murong Chao was curious. Li Yan was such a cold-blooded person. What kind of woman did he like? People like them were most afraid of having a weakness and putting themselves in a disadvantageous position. Li Yan happened to have made such a mistake. Wasnt this giving the enemy a chance to attack? This trip to Paris could be said to be very beneficial to her!
At the thought of this, Murong Chao looked at his subordinates. Go and investigate Qiao Mus room. The subordinate smiled. Boss, youre not going to bring a sister-inw back for us this time, are you? Sister-inw? Murong Chaos lips curled up. He could consider it. Qiao Mu was outside apanying a model for a street shoot. The model was in the middle of the shoot, so she sat in the temporary resting shed and drank tea out of boredom. She was originally quite bored by herself, but now Ling Xi was here. Young Master Ling, didnt you say that youre here to help Uncle? Qiao Mu teased. Why are you following Ye Nuan wherever she goes? Ling Xi snorted. Me following her? What a joke! I should thank the heavens if she doesnt chase after me. Do you think I want to be here? Im watching you on behalf of my brother to prevent Murong Chao from attacking you. What can Murong Chao do to me in broad daylight? I still need you to protect me, Young Master Ling? Seeing Qiao Mus nonchnt expression, Ling Xi reminded her, I think you really dont know how to sense danger. If Murong Chao finds out that youre Big Brothers wife At this point, Ling Xi realized that he had said too much and immediately stopped. Qiao Mu frowned. What do you mean? Is the consequence very serious? Li Yan said that it was fine, so she didnt mind. However, it didnt seem like it was as simple as Ling Xi watching her. Ling Xi shook his head. Its fine. Just dont let him know. Seeing that Ling Xi was hiding something, Qiao Mu smiled. Young Master Ling, should we share some secrets with each other? You tell me what I want to know, and Ill tell you what you want to know. How about it? Qiao Mus gaze swept toward Ye Nuan, who was filming not far away, with a hint in her eyes. Ling Xis expression changed slightly. Unable to resist Qiao Mus stare, he directly revealed the truth. Big Brother, please dont me him. If you want to me someone, me this sister-inw for being too curious. Only then did Qiao Mu understand that Murong Chao did note to find her on purpose. He wanted to use Li Yans wife to threaten Li Yan! How despicable!
Ling Xi looked at Qiao Mu. You dont have to worry. Big Brother can resolve this matter, and Murong Chao cant threaten him. Qiao Mu nodded, but she realized that Ling Xi was still staring at her. She blinked. Why are you staring at me? Its time for you to share your secrets with me. Qiao Mu chuckled softly. I thought you didnt care about Ye Nuans matters? If you dont want to know, why should I tell you?
Chapter 926: Murong Chao’s Eyes on Qiao Mu (4) Chapter 926: Murong Chaos Eyes on Qiao Mu (4) Ling Xi was speechless. Ling Xi was instantly enraged. Wasnt he ying with him? Qiao Mu stopped teasing him and leaned her head closer to him, saying in a low voice, ActuallyYe Nuan doesnt like you anymore, so if you want to woo her, you have to work harder! Ling Xis expression turned ugly. What kind of secret was this? He already knew that Ye Nuan didnt like him! She didnt like him as much as he liked her! Ling Xi was about to say something when he heard footsteps approaching. He turned around and saw Li Yan walking in. Li Yan looked at the woman who was smiling and talking to Ling Xi. His expression turned cold and his sharp eyes swept over. Ling Xi immediately noticed the unfriendly look in a certain mans eyes. Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu and raised his thin lips. Youre in such a hurry toe out to work just to chat with people here? Qiao Mu was speechless. Ling Xi was speechless.
Ling Xi suddenly felt so innocent. He immediately stood up and left the scene without any time to quibble. Young Master Li was anxious to protect his wife and would be jealous of anyone. He suddenly began to worry for Murong Chao. If he really offended Qiao Mu, he would probably end up in a very miserable state! When Ling Xi left, Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan in surprise. Why did youe out? So, I should be waiting in the hotel for you toe back and pamper me after youre done with your work? Li Yan sounded displeased. The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. This man actually used the word pampered! She doted on him? Thinking about that scene, it was pretty good. Wait a minute This was not something to be happy about. Qiao Mu stepped forward and hugged Li Yans arm, saying ingratiatingly, Uncle, of course Ill go back and let you pamper me. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. Alright, as you wish. Qiao Mu was speechless. Li Yan sat down, and Qiao Mu poured him a cup of tea. Uncle, I heard from Ling Xi about Murong Chaos motive. Li Yan sipped his tea. His tongue is quite long. Looks like he needs to be fixed! Dont me him. I used Ye Nuans matter to exchange information with him. Men, although they value friendship, love is the most important. Qiao Mu spoke logically and logically, but she was also a little worried. Uncle, youd better not be so close to me all the time. It wont be good if Murong Chao finds out. Li Yans expression was indifferent. This is not something you should worry about. After youre done with your work,e with me. Where to? Youve been so tired recently. Ill take you to the hot spring to rx. Qiao Mu was delighted and immediately pounced on Li Yan. At this moment, the tent p was lifted. Ye Nuan stood outside, stunned. Before she could react, she was pulled away by Ling Xi. Ling Xi tugged at Ye Nuan. Did you exin your work? Lets go eat. Ye Nuan struggled slightly. Young Master Ling, let go of me. Its not good to be seen on the streets.
Isnt it good to be seen? Dont forget that were together to let others know that itll help your career. Now that youre famous, are you afraid of getting into a scandal with me? As Ling Xi spoke, he tightened his grip on Ye Nuans hand, not intending to let go. Ye Nuan lowered her head. She thought that what he said made sense and didnt say anything else. Ling Xi just couldnt stand Ye Nuans nonchnt attitude. Ever since she got together with him, she had been especially obedient. Wasnt she quite good at talking when she was acting as his girlfriend? He, the great Young Master Ling, had never been treated like this before. If it were any other woman, she would have long tried to court him, but this woman
Ling Xi sighed. Forget it, this woman was pleasing to his eyes! Chapter 927: A Moment of Pleasure Chapter 927: A Moment of Pleasure At night, Qiao Mu was brought to a natural hot spring vi by Li Yan. The vi was located near the mountain, and there was a spring water on the mountain. A single-story inn was built in this holynd, and every inn had an independent spring pool in the backyard for the guests to use. Qiao Mufortably soaked in the water, lying on a rock beside the pool as her body floated in the water. She didnt bring a swimsuit, so she dived into the water in her underwear and a silk top. After a while, Li Yan came out of the house. Qiao Mu looked up and saw him standing by the pool in his sleeping robe. He then removed his sleeping robe, and she admired him. The night sky was very bright, and there was a dim yellow light by the pool. Coupled with the beautiful man taking off his clothes, this scene was perfect! But When the beautiful man took off his sleeping robe, Qiao Mu felt terrible! He was actually naked! To be precise, he wasnt even wearing the boxers that should have appeared! Qiao Mu blushed and turned her head to the side, muttering, Youre just soaking in a hot spring. Why are you acting like a hooligan?! Li Yan threw away his sleeping robe and entered the bathtub. He sat down leisurely. Youre a hooligan if you dont wear clothes? Who would wear clothes in the bath? Little thing, your thoughts are bing more and more impure.
Qiao Mu was speechless. He was being reasonable! Fine, she ignored it! After a while, a certain man leaned over. She stared at him warily. What are you doing? There are bacteria in your clothes. Ill help you take them off. No, I dont mind. I mind. Were in the same pool. Didnt you infect me with your bacteria? Qiao Mu was speechless. This made her unable to refute. Qiao Mu was just about to say that she would do it herself when she was stripped naked very quickly Qiao Mu wanted to take a bath in peace and enjoy herself for a while, so she moved her body to the side bit by bit, wanting to stay away from dangerous people. Suddenly, a pair ofrge hands pressed down on her. Her body stiffened and she turned around to re at him. Uncle, you cant. Cant what? I just wanted to massage your shoulders and let you rx. What impure things are you thinking about again? .. Why did he always say that she was impure? He was clearly the dirtiest one! Qiao Musrge hands massaged her shoulders, and her body rxed. Sheid on the rock, feeling sofortable that she almost fell asleep. Slowly, he felt the strength of the massage decrease, and the big hand began to stop moving down Qiao Mus body felt hot and dry. After that, a certain man pressed his entire body against hers and prated her in an embarrassing position It was absolutely impossible for a man and a woman to be naked without anything happening! He said that he would bring her here to rx, but in fact, he was just calling Fazi to do what he liked!
C At the same time, Ling Xi and Ye Nuan finished their dinner and entered the hotel. Ling Xi invited Ye Nuan to his room. Ye Nuan looked at Ling Xi cautiously and appeared very calm. Young Master Ling, weve said before that were only acting together. Ling Xi was furious. Youre thinking too much. I wont do anything to you. I just want you to help me!
Ling Xi opened a door, and Ye Nuan was surprised. Isnt this Qiao Mus room? Come in. Ling Xi rushed into the room. Ye Nuan thought about it and walked in. Ling Xi sat on the sofa and saidzily, Someone will knock on the doorter. Go and deal with it. Ye Nuan suddenly understood. Young Master Ling, you want me to deal with women for you, right? Ling Xi was speechless. Its a man! Huh? Ye Nuans gaze turned into disgust as she looked at Ling Xi warily. So you like men? Chapter 928: Am I Such a Casual Person? Chapter 928: Am I Such a Casual Person? Ling Xis veins bulged on his forehead. What kind of IQ did this woman have? Ling Xi nced at Ye Nuan. Do you want me to prove my sexual orientation right now? If youre interested in women, you can also be interested in both men and women. ..!! The doorbell rang, and Ling Xi entered the room in a huff. Ye Nuan went to open the door and saw the man who had been looking for Qiao Mu during the day. When Murong Chao saw the person who opened the door, he frowned and looked into the room. Wheres Qiao Mu? Shes not here. Ye Nuan said calmly. Murong Chao came looking for Qiao Mu with anticipation, but he didnt see Qiao Mu. He looked displeased. This is Qiao Mus room. Who are you? Who are you? She changed rooms with me. Im going to rest. After Ye Nuan finished speaking, she closed the door. Outside the door, Murong Chao frowned. Was Qiao Mu avoiding him? This woman really knew how to keep people in suspense. The more he couldnt get it, the more he wanted it!
Of course, Murong Chao would never have thought that Qiao Mu and Li Yan were currently enjoying a couples bath together. Inside the room, Ye Nuan entered the bedroom. Ling Xi sat by the bed and smiled. Your reaction speed is quite fast. I didnt even tell you what to say, and you already know what to do. Ye Nuan shrugged nonchntly. Im used to being harassed, so I naturally have the ability to deal with it. Harassed? Ling Xi narrowed his eyes. Seeing this woman say such words without a care, he felt irritated for no reason. He stood up and held her hand. Since youre my woman now, harassment wont happen again. Ye Nuan scoffed. They were just using each other. Could they use each other forever? Ye Nuan shook him off and turned to leave. She identally bumped into the cab behind her and fell backward,nding on Ling Xi. Ling Xi could have caught her, but he followed her and fell backward. The two of them fell onto the bed. Feeling the womans soft body on top of him, Ling Xis body stiffened. She moved slightly, wanting to stand up. That squirming feeling made his body itch. He flipped over and pressed her under his body. Looking at her face without makeup, Ling Xi narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to kiss her. Her soft lips gently touched him like a fire starter, causing his body to tense up. Then, he deepened the kiss. Ye Nuans eyes widened in disbelief. She was shocked by Ling Xis actions. She tried to push him away, but he was unmoved. She bit his lips and kicked him hard. A sharp pain on Ling Xis lips woke him up. Then, he felt the womans movements and kicked him mercilessly. He reacted quickly and snatched it away. The woman took the opportunity to stand up and run away. Ling Xi sat by the bed in a daze. His body tensed up. He lowered his head and saw that he was pregnantReaction! It was just a kiss, how could heHow long had it been since he had touched a woman? He had actually be so thirsty! He touched his lips. The feeling just now was pretty good.
He felt a sharp pain in his thigh. If he hadnt dodged quickly, that kick would havended on his crotch! This woman! Ling Xis heart sank. At this moment, thendline phone in the room rang. He picked it up and heard a gentle voice, Do you need any service? Ling Xis face darkened. What did you do to me? Am I such a casual person?
Throwing the phone down, Ling Xi rubbed his leg. He really should find a service staff to see if he was broken by that kick just now! Chapter 929: Qiao Mu’s Disappearance (1) Chapter 929: Qiao Mus Disappearance (1) Qiao Mu and Li Yan had just returned from enjoying the hot spring vacation, but Qiao Mu only had a tiny bit of time to soak in the hot spring! Sheined to Li Yan, but Li Yan said seriously that she could not soak in the hot spring for too long. It was not good for her health. But was exercising in the hot spring good for the body? When Qiao Mu returned to the fashion show, she was once again surrounded by Murong Chao. Murong Chao kicked his hands into his pockets and stood in front of Qiao Mu. I came all the way here to find you just to see you. Why is it so difficult? Qiao Mus nerves immediately tensed up. What exactly do you want? I already said I have a boyfriend. Can you stop pestering me? No! I also said that if you have a boyfriend, I will snatch you over. Lets have lunch together. Murong Chao was extremely shameless. Qiao Mus expression turned cold. Im busy! Its settled then. Wait for me to pick you up. Qiao Mu was speechless. Murong Chao suddenly thought of something and looked at Qiao Mu with a confused expression. Little thing, you said you have a boyfriend. Is your boyfriend in Paris too?
Qiao Mu shook her head nonchntly. No, my boyfriend is here, so he wont let you get close to me. Murong Chao smiled. You should be d that hes not around. Ill wait for you at noon. If you donte, Ill send someone to castrate your boyfriend! Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at Murong Chaos back, thinking to herself, Go castrate him if you have the ability! Qiao Mu ignored Murong Chao and prepared for the press conference in the morning. The Key brand only had one fashion show left. After a busy morning, Qiao Mu finally sent off herst fashion show. Her Paris Fashion Week was about toe to an end. A month had passed so quickly. Key smiled at Qiao Mu. Your performance was very good. The response to your designs was very good. Not only in the country, but even overseas, youll also be a little famous. Qiao Mu smiled happily. It was truly not easy to be praised by Key. Key reminded, You may be happy, but dont be arrogant. I know, Teacher Key. Ill take my leave first. Qiao Mu happily left the show venue and was about to return to the hotel when a car suddenly stopped in front of her while she was walking by the roadside. Before she could react, she was forcefully dragged into the car. Qiao Mu was shocked. A man beside her tugged at her mouth and said, Dont struggle. He wont do anything to you. My boss wants me to treat you to a meal with him. Qiao Mu had seen this man before. He was Murong Chaos subordinate. Qiao Mu struggled and whimpered. Was this the way to treat her to a meal? The man saw that Qiao Mu wasnt being honest, so he immediately handcuffed one of Qiao Mus hands and locked the other end to the car door. Little beauty, its your fortune that my boss has taken a fancy to you. Ive never seen my boss so interested in any woman. You can be secretly happy. Qiao Mus eyes widened in anger, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She wondered what the pervert Murong Chao was thinking! At this moment, the car stopped. The man got out of the car while holding the phone. Boss, the person is here for you. The car is parked by the roadside. Get out. At this moment, the chauffeur had also gotten out of the car. There was no one else in the car. Qiao Mu struggled to break free from the handcuffs, but she was unable to do so no matter how hard she tried. Did they think that they were police officers? Why did they even use these things?!
After a short while, the door in front opened. A person sat in the drivers seat, started the car, and drove away. Qiao Mu looked at the back of the person. He was wearing a ck coat and a hoodie. He was not tall, so this person was not Murong Chao! [Guess whos driving?]
Chapter 930: Qiao Mu’s Disappearance (2) Chapter 930: Qiao Mus Disappearance (2) Murong Chao went downstairs and looked at the empty roadside. He turned to look at his subordinate. Where is the car you mentioned? The subordinate was puzzled. I parked the car here! Why is it gone? Murong Chao red at his subordinate angrily. You put her in the car. Why didnt you get someone to keep an eye on her? Why didnt she run away by herself and wait for me toe? Boss, I handcuffed her to the car. She cant escape! Cuff her? I asked you to invite her over, but you actually Murong Chaos face darkened. He turned around and got into another car, quickly chasing after them. C The car sped along, and the driver waspletely covered in ck. Qiao Mu looked at the rearview mirror and could only see that he was wearing a ck mask and a pair ofrge sunsses. In addition, his hat was pulled down so low that not a single part of his face could be seen. He even wore gloves on his hands and was wrapped up tightly, as if he was afraid that others would see his appearance clearly. He couldnt even tell if it was a man or a woman! Qiao Mu instantly had a bad feeling. Murong Chaos men had openly tied her up in the car and said that they were waiting for Murong Chao toe over, but who was this person?
She was sure that this person was not Murong Chaos man! Qiao Mu panicked and questioned coldly, Who are you? What do you want? Hurry up and stop the car! The man in ck looked up at the rearview mirror and drove quickly without saying anything. Qiao Mu realized that she seemed to have been kidnapped! However, the kidnappers were not Murong Chaos men! Qiao Mus heart clenched. Her left hand was handcuffed to the door on the right, so she could only use her right hand to tug at the other partys shoulder with all her might. The car suddenly turned, and she was thrown fiercely against the car door. Her head hit the ss of the door, and she felt dizzy for a moment. Qiao Mu suddenly reacted and took out her phone from her bag to call Li Yan. The sudden change made her so flustered that she forgot to ask Li Yan for help! Just as Qiao Mu turned on her phone to call Li Yan, the car suddenly stopped and she tumbled over. The call had already been dialed, but the moment it rang, the man in ck snatched it away and threw it out of the car. Qiao Mus heart sank bit by bit. What exactly do you want? If you want money, I can give it to you. Why did you kidnap her? The other party did not respond. What are you going to do to me? Did someone hire you to kidnap me? How much did that person give you? Ill give you double. If you let me go, I wont hold you ountable. The other party remained indifferent and did not utter a single word. Qiao Mu realized that she definitely knew this person. He did not speak because he was afraid that she would recognize him! Qiao Mu stared at him. Who exactly are you? There are only a few people Ive offended. If anything happens to me, Ill definitely find out about you! Qiao Mu wanted to force the other party to speak, but she saw the man in ck take out a handkerchief from his pocket and spray it a few times with another small spray before forcefully covering her mouth and nose with the handkerchief. Her consciousness gradually became unclear. Before she fainted, she saw a hole in the mans earlobe. C Li Yans phone rang and hung up. He saw the caller ID and called, but the other partys phone was turned off. He frowned vigntly. Then, Ling Xi called. His tone was a little unpleasant. Brother, is sister-inw with you? Li Yan tightened his grip on his phone and his tone darkened. Didnt I tell you to keep an eye on her?
[Later] Chapter 931: Qiao Mu’s Disappearance (3) Chapter 931: Qiao Mus Disappearance (3) Ling Xi said under the immense pressure, I was not paying attention and she was already gone. It seems like she was taken away by Murong Chaos men Before he could finish speaking, the call was quickly hung up. Li Yan strode out of the hotel. As he walked, he checked Qiao Mus phone location. Li Yans heart tightened at the thought of the call he made earlier. Ling Xi rushed over and saw Li Yans murderous expression. He quickly advised, Big brother, it will be fine. Murong Chao doesnt know about your rtionship. Li Yan pursed his lips tightly, and his expression turned even colder. It was precisely because Murong Chao did not know that Qiao Mu was in even more danger! If Murong Chao knew about his rtionship with Qiao Mu, he would still care about his existence and wouldnt do anything to Qiao Mu. At most, he would kidnap Qiao Mu to threaten him. However, Murong Chao took Qiao Mu away because he had taken a fancy to Qiao Mu. That man was capable of anything! Ling Xi watched as Li Yan got into the car and the car flew away. He quickly brought his bodyguards and drove behind him. He had never seen his eldest brother so anxious and nervous. In the past, even if he encountered any urgent matter, he would always be as steady as Mount Tai and his expression would not change. However, when it came to Qiao Mus matter, he could no longer keep his cool.
C Qiao Mu woke up groggily and felt that the car was still moving. She opened her eyes and looked out of the car. She had no idea how long she had been unconscious. She was surrounded by a remote and unfamiliar ce with few people around her. She saw a fountain pen pinned to the back of the seat. She grabbed the fountain pen and jabbed it at the man in cks shoulder. Her fingers gripped the mans shoulder tightly and stabbed him as hard as she could. The ck-clothed man grunted in pain and pushed Qiao Mu away. He held his shoulder and endured the pain, forcefully not making a sound. Suddenly, the car came to a stop. The man in ck got out of the car and stood outside the car. He put down the handbrake, nced at Qiao Mu, and snorted coldly before mming the car door shut. Qiao Mu was stunned when she realized that the man in ck had left. When she realized that the car was slowly moving forward, she suddenly realized that the road ahead was downhill. Outside the car, there was a man-madeke. Thekeside was blocked by a fence, but there was a ce without a fence. The car was sliding towards an area without a fence. If it did not stop, it would slide directly into theke! Qiao Mus face paled, and she hurriedly pulled the handbrake. Even after pulling the handbrake, the car was still sliding down at a slow speed. She tugged hard at the handcuffs and kicked the car door with one foot. No matter how hard she tried, she could not break free from the handcuffs. She shouted for help, but there was no one around her. Suddenly, it began to rain. The heavy rain came in a menacing manner. A few secondster, it became a heavy downpour. The car was less than 50 meters away from thekeside. Qiao Mu was so anxious that she was about to cry. Was she going to die here? Who exactly had such a huge grudge against her and wanted to kill her? Was Li Yan on his way to save her now? He must have found out that she was missing. He would be here soon! Every time she was in danger, he would always appear at the critical moment. This time, he would definitely appear again! Theke was getting closer and closer Suddenly, the car jolted and stopped as if it was stuck in a mud pit. Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief, and then there was a ruckus outside the car. Qiao Mu turned around in pleasant surprise and vaguely saw a car approaching. It must be Li Yan! Her uncle hade to save her!
Chapter 932: Be My Woman, I’ll Save You! Chapter 932: Be My Woman, Ill Save You! She vaguely saw a tall figure rushing towards her car in the pouring rain. As the car door opened, Qiao Mu looked at the person who had just arrived with a pleasantly surprised expression. She opened her mouth and was about to call him uncle, but just as she was about to say it, she saw clearly that the person who had arrived was not Li Yan! Murong Chao swiftly jumped into Qiao Mus car. She was looking at him with a pale face and a pleasantly surprised expression. However, the moment she saw him, the surprise on her face faded bit by bit. Why is it you! Qiao Mus heart sank. It was not Li Yan! Murong Chao frowned and pulled Qiao Mus handcuffed hand over. He held a thin iron wire in his hand and opened the lock while saying, If it wasnt me, who do you think it was? Im here to save you, and this is your attitude? If it werent for you, I wouldnt be cuffed to the car and waiting to die! Qiao Mu shouted angrily in exasperation. She even suspected that Murong Chaos men were secretly colluding with the men in ck earlier. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?! Murong Chao stopped unlocking the lock and raised his head to nce at Qiao Mu. Since you dont appreciate it, I wont save you. Qiao Mus face paled. This man! Suddenly, the car started to shake again. Because of Murong Chaos participation, the car started to slide again.
Qiao Mu grabbed Murong Chaos hand in a panic. I appreciate your kindness. Please save me! However, Murong Chao was neither anxious nor flustered. He curled his lips and said, Qiao Mu, how about this? I can save you, but you have to promise me that youll be my woman. Impossible! Qiao Mu refused without hesitation, causing Murong Chaos expression to darken. He grabbed her chin. So, even if you die, youre not willing to be my woman? Very good! As he spoke, Murong Chao raised his hand and threw the iron wire out of the window. Qiao Mu, youre courting death! Qiao Mu widened her eyes in horror, wanting to stop him, but she could only watch helplessly as the only thing that could be used as a key was thrown away! This man had really left her in the lurch! Such a cold-blooded man could kill without batting an eye. If she did not like him, there was no need for him to save an insignificant person. Qiao Mu closed her eyes and fiercely said, Murong Chao, if anything happens to me today, my husband will definitely not let you off! Hearing the word husband , Murong Chao narrowed his eyes. Youre married? Its impossible for me to fall in love with you, and I dont want to pretend to agree to be your girlfriend and then go back on my word. If I dont like you, I dont like you. No matter how much you force me, I only love my husband! Qiao Mu took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. She believed that even if she fell into the river, Li Yan would stille and save her! Li Yan would definitelye back! The car was less than 20 meters away from theke, and it was sliding faster and faster. Qiao Mus mind was nk as she stared nkly at Murong Chao. Why wasnt he leaving? Could it be that he wanted to die for love with her? At this moment, the handcuffs were unlocked. Without giving Qiao Mu any time to react, she was dragged out of the car by Murong Chao. The ground outside the car was muddy, and Qiao Mu rolled a few times on the ground. She was so flustered that she felt dizzy, and she finally stopped when she heard Murong Chaos voice above her head. Are you alright? Are you scared silly? Qiao Mu strenuously pushed Murong Chao away and tried to get up, only to realize that her legs were weak and she could not muster any strength at all.
After struggling for a long time, he finally gave up and sat weakly on the muddy ground. Chapter 933: Li Yan’s Wife Is Qiao Mu! Chapter 933: Li Yans Wife Is Qiao Mu! Murong Chao looked at Qiao Mu and smiled sarcastically. This woman was actually so frightened. After a while, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. The rain fell on her clean face, but it still could not hide the panic in her eyes, as well as her red eyes. This woman, even if she was so scared, she still rejected him without hesitation when he asked her to be his woman just now! Did she really love her husband that much? What kind of man could make her love him to such an extent? At this moment, Qiao Mu refused to give up and continued to stand up. She finally stood up, but her legs went soft and she could not stand at all. She hated herself for being useless. She was already fine, so why was she still panicking? Her legs went weak and she almost fell down again. Suddenly, Murong Chao reached out to support her. In the next second, she was carried horizontally by him. Qiao Mu wanted to shake him off, but just as she struggled, she heard Murong Chao snicker. Dont tell me you only want to be touched by your husband. Id like to know where the husband she loves is now. Whats the use of a man who cant even protect his own woman at a critical moment?
Anger instantly welled up in Qiao Mus heart. You dont have to worry. Hell definitelye! I remember you saying that your husband isnt in Paris. Could it be that you two have telepathy? Just as Murong Chao finished speaking, a few cars drove over. He carried Qiao Mu and walked toward the cars. My people are here. Im still the one who can protect you at the critical moment, so having a change of heart isnt enough! Murong Chao looked at the woman in his arms, anticipating her reaction. He thought that she would be moved by his power and throw herself into his arms. However, he discovered that Qiao Mus eyes were fixed on the car in front of her, and herrge eyes shed with joy. Murong Chao raised his head in confusion. Was she really shocked by his power? Murong Chaos expression changed when he saw the person who got out of the car. It was Li Yan! Qiao Mu widened her eyes in surprise. When Li Yan got out of the car, she saw the blurry tall figure and knew that it was Li Yan! The tension in her heart instantly lessened a little, and her eyes gradually blurred. She had finally waited for him! When Li Yan was in the car, he saw Murong Chao carrying Qiao Mu. Their clothes were stained with mud, and they were in a sorry state. It was hard to imagine what had happened. In an instant, Qiao Mus nervousness eased a little, but the fury in her heart instantly boiled! He got out of the car and took a gun from the bodyguard. He strode to Murong Chao and pointed the gun at his temple. Li Yans expression was sinister and terrifying. His dark eyes shed with a bloodthirsty cold light as he said word by word, Murong Chao, what did you do to her? Qiao Mu struggled free from Murong Chaos embrace and was frightened by this scene. At this moment, Li Yans entire body was filled with a vicious aura, as if he really wanted to kill someone. Her voice was trembling. Li Yan, put down the gun. Im fine. Li Yan did not look at Qiao Mu. Instead, he spread his arms wide and shielded her in his embrace. He continued to aim his gun at Murong Chao. His gentle actions and his dark and fierce gaze seemed to be done by two different people at the same time. Murong Chao looked at Li Yans actions and saw Qiao Mu being protected in his arms. At this moment, he seemed to understand everything.
Li Yans wife was Qiao Mu! The husband Qiao Mu was talking about was Li Yan! Chapter 934: Li Yan Who Lost His Mind Chapter 934: Li Yan Who Lost His Mind Murong Chao never expected the rtionship between Li Yan and Qiao Mu! No wonder! It was no wonder Li Yan would appear every time he approached Qiao Mu. Li Yan would always appear wherever Qiao Mu was! When he first arrived in Paris, Ling Xi had stepped forward to stop him the moment he approached Qiao Mu. At that time, he did not think too much about it, but now that he thought about it, Li Yan had always been protecting Qiao Mu! He had been wondering what the woman Li Yan liked was like, but he had actually fallen for the same woman as him! Murong Chaos eyes darkened when he saw Qiao Mus expression of being at ease in Li Yans embrace. It turned out that the man she would rather die than betray was Li Yan! Murong Chao looked at Li Yans sinister target and ignored the gun that was pointed at his head. He smiled and said, Boss Li, youve hidden it so well. Ive always been curious about your wifes identity. I didnt expect it to be exposed in such a way. Li Yan narrowed his eyes coldly. Do you think I wont do anything to you? Will you? For a woman, you caused a fight between two gangs? Murong Chao smiled.
Ling Xi stepped forward and tried to persuade him, Brother, dont be rash. Sister-inw is lucky to be fine. Its raining heavily now. You should go back and rest first. We can talk about this slowly. Ling Xi absolutely believed that if Qiao Mu was really bullied by Murong Chao, Li Yan would not show any mercy in this shot. It was not difficult to take a persons life, but Murong Chao represented a gang. Originally, the two gangs did not interfere with each other. At most, they would fight over business. This was amon thing. If they really fell out, how many brothers would lose their lives to fight? At this moment, Li Yan was in a fit of anger. He had acted impulsively. If he really wanted to deal with Murong Chao, there were other ways. There was no need to do this. Qiao Mu was already a little weak from the shock, so she rxed in Li Yans embrace, and her consciousness gradually blurred. Listening to their conversation, Li Yan raised his head and saw that he was still pointing his gun at Murong Chao. He forced himself to stay awake and carefully held Murong Chaos wrist. Li Yan, he saved me. Hes not the one who harmed me. When Li Yan saw Qiao Mus current state and the car that was stuck by theke, his rationality had long disappeared. All his anger was transferred to Murong Chao. He had never been an impulsive person, but when it came to matters rted to Qiao Mu, he would lose all ability to think. He was so close to killing the man in front of him! Right at this moment, Qiao Mu grabbed his wrist. Her hand was ice-cold, and it was trembling cautiously as if she was very afraid. The words that came out of his mouth made him gradually regain his rationality. He looked down at her and realized that her face was abnormally pale and bloodless. Her body was so weak that all her weight was leaning on him. His heart tightened. He bent over and carried her in his arms, then turned around and walked quickly towards the car. After cing Qiao Mu in the car, he looked coldly at Murong Chao. Well settle thister! The person who abducted Qiao Mu was indeed Murong Chaos subordinate, but Qiao Mu imed that it was Murong Chao who saved her! Murong Chao watched as Li Yan drove away quickly andughed sarcastically. He had actually saved Li Yans woman! Li Yans men had just left when two cars drove over. Murong Chaos men immediately rushed over. Boss, are you alright? I saw Li Yans men just now
Chapter 935: Someone Wants Qiao Mu’s Life Chapter 935: Someone Wants Qiao Mus Life Murong Chao looked at his subordinates coldly and interrupted them impatiently, You were following behind me. You got the news earlier than Li Yan. Why did you only rush over now? A bunch of trash! Whats the use of keeping you alive? I almost got shot in the head! When the subordinate heard that, he rolled up his sleeves. Boss, Ill bring my men to settle the score with Li Yan! Are you deliberately causing trouble for me? Who are you going to settle the score with? Can you defeat Li Yans men? His subordinate was speechless. Murong Chao sneered. This matter was not over yet! How was Li Yan going to repay such a huge favor? C Li Yan drove all the way to the hospital. On the way, Qiao Mu had already fainted. After a round of examination, he found that he had lost consciousness due to excessive shock and had a low fever due to the cold. There was nothing else. Li Yan sat by the bed and looked at the unconscious woman with dark eyes.
Her wrist was red and there were wounds. What had happened during the short time she was missing? ording to what she said, Murong Chao had saved her. It should be the car she was in that drove towards the artificialke, and Murong Chao had saved her from the car. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Ling Xi said in a low voice, Big brother, the matter has been investigated. Li Yan walked out of the ward and gently closed the door. He looked at Ling Xi and asked, What happened? Weve investigated the surveince footage. At that time, Murong Chaos men kidnapped Qiao Mu and made a reservation at a nearby restaurant. They probably just wanted to have lunch with her. At that time, Qiao Mu was handcuffed to the car by Murong Chaos men and was waiting for Murong Chao toe out. During that time, someone took the opportunity to get into the car and drove Qiao Mu away. They drove her all the way to the artificialke. That person left and caused the car to slide down automatically. He wanted to kill Qiao Mu, but Murong Chao appeared and saved her. Ling Xi exined in detail. Li Yans face darkened. You found out the identity of that person? No, we cant see anything from the surveince cameras. We can only see that hes wearing a ck outfit that covers him uppletely. However, Qiao Mu is in the car, so she should know his identity. Li Yan pursed his lips and curled them up coldly. The cold light in his eyes was bloodthirsty and terrifying. C When Qiao Mu woke up, the sky was already dark. She opened her eyes and saw Li Yans worried face. He sat by her bed and looked at her. Youre awake? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Li Yan asked softly. Qiao Mu shook her head and opened her mouth. Her voice was a little hoarse. Its just that my throat hurts a little. Li Yan caressed her head. Its okay. You have a fever. Youll be fine soon. The scenes from before slowly surfaced in her mind, and Qiao Mus nose turned sour. Looking at the mans gentle expression in front of her, she could not help but want to cry. She raised her hand, wanting to touch him, but she realized that there was an IV drip on her hand. He held her hand down. Dont move. Its an IV drip. Qiao Mu sniffed. Little Uncle, hug me. Li Yans heart softened. Looking at her heart-wrenching appearance, his heart ached.
He bent down and pulled her into his embrace, pressing her face against his chest. His voice was low and filled with guilt. Mu Mu, Im sorry that I didnt appear in time when you needed me. Qiao Mu shook her head, and her voice became a little choked. Its already very timely. I knew you would definitelye. She was already very satisfied to see him appear when she was awake. [There will be updates after 12:00]
Chapter 936: Acting Rogue When You’re Sick Chapter 936: Acting Rogue When Youre Sick Thank you for being able to know about her in such a timely manner. She knew that if he hadnt been keeping an eye on her, he wouldnt havee so quickly. The two of them quietly embraced each other. Qiao Mu smelled the mans familiar scent and felt very at ease. After a while, she suddenly thought of something and asked worriedly,You didnt do anything to Murong Chao, did you? Li Yan looked down at her. What can I do to him? Your husband isw-abiding, not unreasonable, and he wont kill anyone casually. Qiao Mu was speechless. He wasw-abiding? He made it sound like it was true, but he looked like he really wanted to kill someone. Thinking back to his appearance at that time, it was too terrifying. Noticing that she was looking at him suspiciously, he chuckled softly. I was just scaring him. I didnt want to do anything to him. Dont think about this for now. Take care of yourself. Qiao Mu knew that he didnt mention this because he didnt want her to reminisce about unhappy memories. She took the initiative to speak up. Uncle, the person who wanted to harm me is a woman. She didnt say a single word on the way here, as if she was worried that I would expose her identity.
Li Yans cold eyes shed, but he quickly regained his gentle expression. Okay, I understand. Leave the rest to me. Dont think about it anymore. Qiao Mu was a little worried. Even though Murong Chao is up to no good, he still saved me. Can you stop using force to resolve this matter? Alright, Ill listen to you. Although Li Yan agreed readily, Qiao Mu knew that he had his own way of resolving the issue. Since he had promised her, he would not go overboard. With him around, she felt much more at ease. She did not want to close her eyes and stare at him. He stood up, not knowing what to do. She quickly reached out to grab his hand and looked at him pitifully. Uncle, stay with me. Li Yan looked at her with heartache. Ill get you a ss of water. I wont leave. Only then did Qiao Mu let go of him. She watched as he went to the side to get some water and then walked back, her gaze following his every movement. Li Yan fed her the medicine and sat by the bed to apany her quietly. He knew that she was still a little scared, so he said in a low voice,Go to sleep. Ill sleep after you finish the drip. Im not sleepy. Chat with me. Alright. Li Yan leaned against the headboard and hugged her gently. What are you talking about? The corners of Qiao Mus lips twitched. This man was usually quite eloquent when he was talking, but if she really wanted him to have a proper chat with her, he would ask her what she wanted to talk about. She thought for a moment. Tell me a story. Li Yan frowned. This little thing really knew how to make things difficult for him. Looking at her expectant eyes, it was difficult for him to reject her request. He casually picked up his phone and wanted to go online to find a story to tell her. However, this thought was exposed by her and she snatched his phone away. I want to hear what you want to say. It takes some effort to coax a girl. Dont be too perfunctory.
Youve already gotten your hands on her and registered your marriage. Do I still have to spend time coaxing you? So, you want to give up? Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at him. Dont forget that our marriage certificate isnt protected by thew in the country. So, if you dont behave well, Ill fall out with you whenever I want. This little woman still dared to fall out with him! Li Yan was helpless. He thought about it seriously and his maic voice sounded like a musical note. Once upon a time, there was a little girl who liked a big boy.
Chapter 937: Be Good, I’m Here Chapter 937: Be Good, Im Here The little girls skin is especially thick. She tried her best to get the big boy to kiss her, eat the ice cream, and deliberately put her ice-cream-stained mouth in front of the boy to lure the boy intomitting a crime. When the boy turned his head, she put her face close to the boy and let the boy identally kiss her. Then, she ran away shyly. In the end, the boy was seduced intomitting a crime and fell in love with an underage. As she listened to Li Yans story, the corners of Qiao Mus lips curled up uncontrobly. She asked with a smile, When did that boy fall in love with a little girl? The boy doesnt know either. Maybe he saw her crying under the big tree, or maybe he saw her being bullied but still pretended to be strong and pitiful. Maybe it was when she was always acting coquettishly with him, or maybe he was sleeping under the tree and she leaned over to kiss him secretly. By the time he reacted, his heart was already moved. Qiao Mu was stunned. He actually knew that she had secretly kissed him? As expected, when this man was 18 years old, he was already very shrewd. He pretended to be uninterested in her. He knew that she had secretly kissed him, but he pretended to be asleep and secretly enjoyed it! What else? Qiao Mu continued to ask. Ten yearster, I recognized her the first time I saw her. At that time, I was taken advantage of by her. Only then did I realize that a persons nature will not change even after ten years. Qiao Mu snorted. It was a different feeling to hear him talk about them personally. Li Yan continued to talk, and Qiao Mus heart felt warm. As she listened, she fell asleep unknowingly. Li Yan gently made Qiao Mu lie down. After she finished her drip, he pulled out her pillow, then went to bed and pulled her into his arms.
In a daze, Qiao Mu thought that Li Yan was about to leave, so she grabbed onto him and refused to let go. Be good, Im here. When she heard the mans voice, she opened her eyes and saw him lying down beside her. The familiar scent surrounded her and she continued to sleep soundly. A cold glint shed across Li Yans eyes as he gently hugged Qiao Mu. This incident had hurt her greatly. Now that he had found out who had hurt her, he would make that person pay a hundred times the price! C The next day, Qiao Mus spirits were much better. Her body temperature had dropped, and she had almost recovered. Li Yan was worried and asked her to stay in the hospital for a day for observation. When Ye Nuan came to the hospital to apany Qiao Mu, Ling Xi followed her around like a stalker. Li Yan said that he had something to deal with and left the hospital temporarily. Qiao Mu looked at Ling Xi. Young Master Ling, what did Li Yan do? Young Master Ling shrugged. How would I know about Yangs matters? He doesnt report to me. You must know. I dont know. Alright, you dont know. When Li Yanes back, Ill tell him that you bullied me. Ling Xi was speechless. A womans heart is the most poisonous! Big Brother went to settle the score with Murong Chao, Ling Xi said helplessly. Qiao Mu had already guessed it. Is he going to thank Murong Chao for saving me? she asked. Thank you? Ling Xi sneered, Big Brother is not that broad-minded. Even if Murong Chao saved you, he was the one who caused this. Its already good enough that Big Brother did not settle the score with him!
But someone wanted to harm me. Even if Murong Chao didnt tie me up, that person would still do it. The result would be the same. The result might not be the same. Perhaps the other party wouldnt have seeded. Murong Chao had created a very good opportunity for the other party. This was a fact. Therefore, Murong Chao could not escape responsibility.
C In the hotel room, Murong Chao looked at Li Yan and smiled.Boss Li, you came to find me so soon? Dont you need to apany your wife? [Today is even worse.] Chapter 938: Qiao Mu, I’m Definitely Going to Get It! Chapter 938: Qiao Mu, Im Definitely Going to Get It! Li Yan looked at Murong Chao coldly and sat down on the sofa opposite him. He curled his lips coldly. It seems like you knew that I woulde, so you waited for me here? Of course, I saved your woman. You wille and thank me. Murong Chao looked at Li Yan. Isnt that so? Thats right. Li Yan raised his leg and ced it on the other leg. He lookedzy. However, before we thank you, lets settle the score first. Murong Chao looked at Li Yan without batting an eyelid. Li Yans reaction was within his expectations. People like them would always repay kindness and revenge. They were always straightforward. However, Murong Chao didnt want to admit it. Boss Li, I only invited a woman I like for a meal. Who knew that this woman happened to be your woman? As expected, Boss Li and I have simr tastes. Li Yans expression darkened. Murong Chao, its fine if you didnt know about this before. But Im warning you now, dont have any designs on my woman! Ha, I hate to listen to other peoples warnings the most. I wont let go of the woman I like so easily. So, this is your stance? Li Yan raised his eyebrows andughed instead of getting angry. Are you trying to snatch my woman or my business? Can you win? Murong Chaos face turned cold. Li Yans lips curled into a mocking smile. Murong, if you could snatch her away, you wouldnt have tried so hard to find out my wifes identity and use her to threaten me. Do you think Ill let you threaten me?
Boss Li, are you saying that even if I use Qiao Mu to threaten you, you wont let me seed? Li Yans eyes shed coldly. Do you think Ill give you a chance to threaten me? The man in front of her was sinister and cold. He was calm and steady, just like when he was negotiating in the past. No one could tell his emotions, but he exuded an endless chill that lowered the temperature around him. Murong Chao had negotiated with Li Yan a few times, but he rarely saw Li Yans intimidating aura. He only wanted to test Qiao Mus weight in this mans heart. He did not even need to test her aura to feel Qiao Mus importance. This man wasnt looking for a random woman to y with. He didnt let go of her so easily. But Boss Li, do you think that I would let go of a woman that I finally fell in love with? Murong Chao paused for a moment before he slowly said, Qiao Mu, I want it! Li Yan raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth curled up. Looks like you want to fight me to the death! Murong Chao smiled disapprovingly. Thats not the case. If Boss Li wants me to give up on pursuing women, its not impossible. However, I have to make up for my disappointment in love and career, right? As Murong Chao spoke, he looked at Li Yan and went straight to the point. If you can give me all the goods worth nine digits in the southeast region, I can consider giving up on Qiao Mu. After all, I dont want toy my hands on a married woman. Li Yanughed softly as if he had heard a joke. Boss Murong, youre daydreaming well. Li Yans contemptuous attitude caused Murong Chaos face to darken. Murong Chaoughed coldly. Li Yan, you should know that youre in a passive position in this matter. If you take our path, youll be able to kill anyone who has a weakness. My request isnt too much! Indeed. Li Yan nodded. His eyes turned cold instantly. His hawk-like eyes swept towards Murong Chao. But, are you sure that you wont have a weakness in your life? Today, you have designs on me. In the future, its inevitable that you will burn yourself to death! Chapter 939: You Can’t Touch My Woman Chapter 939: You Cant Touch My Woman Li Yans words were a tant threat. Murong Chao believed that it would be easy for Li Yan to retaliate. No one could hide their weakness so well that it would not be discovered. Even Li Yan, who tried so hard to hide it, was still exposed in the end! However, the current Murong Chao did not have any weaknesses. He did not think that he would have any. Even if he had taken a fancy to Qiao Mu, it was not to the point where he would give it his all to get her. When he found out that she was Li Yans woman, although he was a little shocked, the first thing he thought of was how to use this matter to threaten Li Yan. At this moment, Li Yan mentioned his non-existent weakness. How could he possibly know what was going on? Murong Chao calmly said, If youre unwilling to back down and want to have both women and business in your hands, then you can give it a try. Even if you protect Qiao Mu tightly, Ill still find a chance toy my hands on her. Murong Chao looked at Li Yans reaction after he finished speaking. He could only use this method to make Li Yan take a step back. He could talk about the futureter. He had to get some benefits first. However, Li Yan did not have any reaction. His lips were still curled up coldly, and his fingers were gently tapping on the armrest of the sofa. He was neither warm nor angry, and it was hard to see through him. At this moment, Murong Chaos phone rang. He picked up the call and when he heard the content of the report, his expression changed drastically.
After hanging up the phone, Murong Chao stood up angrily and red at Li Yan. Li Yan, you sent someone to blow up my warehouse?! Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head helplessly. My subordinates are too inefficient. They didnt even clean up the mess and exposed their identities. It seems like I have to train them more in the future. Murong Qings face turned ashen. Li Yan, youre really ruthless! You tter me, but Ive already investigated. The goods worth ten million yuan arent considered expensive. Compared to your warehouse, its just the tip of the iceberg. Li Yan did not care about Murong Chaos exposure at all. Before Murong Chao could react, one of his subordinates was already furious. He took out his gun and pointed it at Li Yan. Boss, our warehouse has been blown up. What do you think we should do? Anyway, he came alone today Before the subordinate could finish speaking, he saw Li Yan raise his arm. In the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his ear and the vase behind him shattered. He looked at the broken vase in a daze and realized that it was a dagger that had shattered the vase. The pain in his ear became more and more obvious. He raised his hand to touch it and was shocked to find that his hand was covered in blood! Li Yan narrowed his eyes coldly. Murong, your subordinate really likes to point his gun at others. Dont you know that hell kill someone? The subordinate covered his ears in pain. You, you, you Murong Chao threw away his gun and roared, Are you f * cking looking for death? Did I ask you to raise your gun? The subordinate was unwilling. Boss, my ears Li Yan smirked coldly. It was a mistake. I was going to aim at your head, but I identally missed it. Next time, there shouldnt be a mistake. The subordinate was shocked and felt a chill. Hurry up and bandage your wound! Murong Chao roared and then looked at Li Yan. Boss Li, you touched my warehouse and caused me a huge loss. My subordinate only offended you a little. Tell me, which one of us suffered more? This is the consequence of touching my woman. You cant touch her! Li Yans voice was cold. You caused her to be kidnapped. This is my punishment for you. Are you satisfied? Chapter 940: Women Are For Pain Chapter 940: Women Are For Pain Murong cursed in his heart. He destroyed his warehouse and still wanted him to be satisfied? This man was indeed not to be trifled with! It was so f * cking difficult to take advantage of him! Murong Chao sneered. Youve already punished me. How do you want to thank me? Are you giving me the woman or the goods? Li Yan stood up and tidied his clothes. Other than my woman, which woman do you want? Tell me and Ill give it to you. You will be responsible for the transportation of the goods. However, we will split the profits 50 C 50. Murong Chao frowned. He had his men take care of the goods, and all the troublesome matters were left to him. In the end, he still had to split half of the profits? In other words, Li Yan did not do anything and only wanted to get a share of the profits? This n was really good! However, if he did not ept this proposal, he might have to snatch it by force. At that time, it was really hard to say who would get the goods! However, with Li Yans methods, if he had his eyes on the goods, he would definitely get his hands on them. The chances of him getting his hands on them were rtively small.
Therefore, in other words, if he wanted to get this batch of goods, he had no choice but to agree to Li Yans suggestion! Either this batch of goods would not be able to get their hands on it, or they would only get half of the benefits! Just as Murong Chao was deep in thought, Li Yan spoke again, Murong, this is my bottom line. I believe you will make a wise decision. I will wait for your reply. After Li Yan finished speaking, he ignored Murong Chaos ugly expression and turned to leave. C In the ward, Ye Nuan apanied Qiao Mu the entire time, and Ling Xi was there as well. Ye Nuan peeled an apple for Qiao Mu, but Qiao Mu didnt want to eat it. Just as she shook her head, Ling Xi stretched out his hand. Ill eat it. The next second, Ye Nuan took a bite of the apple andpletely ignored Ling Xi. Ling Xis expression was unsightly as he stared at Ye Nuan for a long time. He was so angry that he couldnt say a word. Qiao Mu looked at the two of them from the side and felt that the way they interacted with each other had changed a little. Before, Ye Nuan didnt like Ling Xi in her heart, but she didnt show it on the surface. But now, she didnt like Ling Xi from the inside out. After Ye Nuan took two bites of the apple, Ling Xi snatched the apple from her hand and took a bite at the spot where Ye Nuan had bitten. Give it back to me! Ling Xi said loudly, Be my girlfriend and peel an apple for me. Whats there to be unhappy about? Ling Xi nibbled on an apple as she pointed at Qiao Mu and said to Ye Nuan, Learn from Sister-inw. Watch how she acts like apetent girlfriend in front of Eldest Brother. Qiao Mu impolitely attacked him. Usually, its Li Yan who peels the apple for me. Ling Xi was speechless. Then, Ling Xi handed the apple she had just eaten to Ye Nuan. I wont eat it then. You can have it. Youve already eaten, Ye Nuan said in disdain. Theres your saliva! I didnt even dislike your saliva just now, and you still dislike me? Its not like I havent kissed Ling Xi stopped abruptly.
Qiao Mu suddenly sensed something and looked at Ye Nuan with a sly smile. Ye Nuan had her head lowered, and her face was unnaturally red. There was progress between the two of them! Ling Xi ced the apple in Ye Nuans hand and said forcefully, Eat it quickly. Ye Nuan was speechless.
Was there something wrong with him? At this moment, Li Yan returned and nced at Ling Xi. I can hear your voice from afar. Cant you shut your mouth in the ward? Big Brother, your sister-inw is disobedient. Ill teach her a lesson! Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Women are meant to be pampered. Are they meant to be taught a lesson by you? Chapter 941: Only She Can Make Him suffer Chapter 941: Only She Can Make Him suffer ..!! F * ck! Did these wordse out of Young Master Lis mouth? How f * cking sour! Ling Xi beckoned at Ye Nuan to leave. Ye Nuan informed Qiao Mu and left the ward with Ling Xi. Only Li Yan and Qiao Mu were left in the room. Qiao Mu got off the bed and walked up to Li Yan. Uncle, are you done settling the matter? Li Yan nodded. He carried Qiao Mu horizontally and sat her on the sofa. He let her sit on hisp and hugged her like he was carrying a baby. Are you feeling unwell? No, Im fine now. My throat doesnt hurt anymore. Qiao Mu leaned against Li Yans chest. Shouldnt we return to the country? Paris Fashion Week hade to an end. Everyone else had left. She had been dyed in the hospital for two days because of something.
Yes, Ill go home tomorrow. Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. She was just about to ask about Murong Chao when someone knocked on the door. A voice came from outside the door. Boss, Boss Murong is here. Just as the person at the door finished reporting, Murong Chao had already barged in. When he saw the two people on the sofa, a trace of surprise shed across his eyes, but he quickly regained hisposure. Boss Li, you dont have to send someone to guard the door, do you? I cant do anything to Madam Li. Qiao Mu stood up from Li Yans embrace and looked at Murong Chao. What are you doing here? Murong Chao smiled. I was the one who saved you. I came to see how youre doing. You dont seem to be very popr. Im afraid we wont have the chance to meet again. Youre really heartless. Li Yan looked at Murong Chao and said, It seems like youve thought it through. Lets talk outside. Qiao Mu was a little worried. Li Yan turned around to look at her and whispered, Its fine. The matter has been resolved. Qiao Mu nodded and was finally relieved. Murong Chao narrowed his eyes and sneered. Qiao Mu seemed to be very worried that he would do something harmful to Li Yan. This woman had really underestimated her man. Her man had never been the one to suffer a loss! He was the one who was truly at a disadvantage! He had finally taken a fancy to a woman, but it turned out to be someone elses wife. He wanted to snatch her away, but he could not. Even if he could snatch her away, he did not have the ability to take such a risk. Outside the ward, Murong Chao said, Boss Li, I ept your proposal. Well split the profits fifty-fifty. Its not a bad idea to build a friendship between us because of some misunderstandings. Li Yan curled his lips and extended his hand to Murong Chao. Its a pleasure working with you. Im afraid it wont be pleasant working with you. Murong Chao snorted coldly. He turned around and left without shaking hands. Li Yan had made him suffer so much, so he had to give Li Yan some face to make himself feel better. Li Yan looked at Murong Chaos back and retracted his hand nonchntly. When he returned to the ward, he saw Qiao Mus worried expression and asked, Is it really resolved? Really? You dont believe in your mans ability?
I believe you! Qiao Mu thought about it and confirmed again. Then did you suffer a loss? Li Yans lips curled into a smile. I only suffer losses when Im in front of you. It was impossible for anyone else to take advantage of him, unless it was her. These words were as sweet as they could be. Qiao Mus heart felt warm. All the unhappiness she had experienced was already in the past.
C Ling Xi drove back to the hotel with Ye Nuan. The car was parked outside the hotel. Ye Nuan was about to get out of the car, but the door was locked. She turned around, wanting to remind Ling Xi to open the door, but when she turned around, she saw his face right in front of her. She almost pressed her face against his, giving her a fright. Chapter 942: Do You Like Me? Chapter 942: Do You Like Me? Ye Nuan retreated. What are you doing? Ling Xi looked at her. Ye Nuan, do you like me? Huh? Ye Nuan was shocked by Ling Xis words. What was wrong with him? Ling Xi hooked Ye Nuans chin. Otherwise, why would you seduce me and make me ask you? Then, you yed hard to get. All of this was your way of luring me, right? Ye Nuan pushed Ling Xi away. Theres something wrong with your brain. Please go see a doctor. We both know why were together. How could I fall in love with you? Ling Xi frowned and pulled her over. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. He ced his hand on the back of her head and kissed her deeply, reminiscing the taste of that night when he had not kissed her to his hearts content. Ye Nuans body stiffened, and her eyes widened in shock. She opened her mouth and tried to speak, but he took the opportunity to enter her mouth and do whatever he wanted. Ye Nuans mind went nk for a moment. The car was cramped, and she couldnt break free from him. He kissed her until she couldnt breathe. Thest time she was kissed by this man, she could treat it as a mistake. But this time, he actually broke the rules!
After a while, Ling Xi finally let go of her. He looked at her blushing face and pursed his lips. This taste was indeed not bad. Ye Nuan panted heavily and red at him angrily. Ling Xi, when we were together, we agreed to only hold hands and keep our distance. Who told you to kiss me! You didnt reject me just now. Ling Xi said matter-of-factly. Ye Nuan gritted his teeth. How did he know that she had not rejected him? This man was really narcissistic! Open the door! Ye Nuan growled, so angry that she could barely breathe. Ling Xi looked at Ye Nuan calmly. Lets change the rules. Whatever you want, I can satisfy you unconditionally. However, other than holding hands, we can also kiss. How about that? Ye Nuan was speechless. Will we be able to have sex again in a few days? Ling Xi, even though I agreed to be your girlfriend easily, Im not a casual person. If you want to find that kind of woman, Im sorry, I cant satisfy you! Ye Nuan leaned forward and reached for the drivers seat to unlock the door. She had to get close to Ling Xi. Ling Xi took the opportunity to open her arms and hug Ye Nuan. See, women like to say things that they dont mean. You threw yourself into her arms. Ye Nuan pushed him away. Young Master Ling, please dont y with me! Im not ying with you! Then what are you going to do? I want you! Ye Nuan was stunned. Young Master Ling, since you broke the rules, our cooperation ends here! Dont even think about it. Ling Xis lips curled up in disapproval and his tone was light. If you want your career to plummet, I dont mind you ending it with me. Ye Nuan suddenly felt deted. This time, she realized that she had offended someone she shouldnt have! She got out of the car and mmed the door shut.
Ling Xi looked at Ye Nuans back and narrowed his eyes. He raised his hand to touch his lips and the corners of his mouth curled up. In the past, when a woman touched him, he would only feel disgusted. This was the first time he met a woman who did not feel disgusted. But this woman was not interested in him? C
The next day, they set off for their country. Qiao Mu slept for almost the entire flight. After a busy month, she felt extremely exhausted after rxing. When they got off the ne, it was already evening in the capital. Qiao Mu and Li Yan returned to the Li family vi and continued to sleep. They only managed topletely adjust their biological clock after a good nights sleep. Chapter 943: Mumu, Sorry to Have Suffered You Chapter 943: Mumu, Sorry to Have Suffered You When Qiao Mu woke up, the sky was already bright. Li Yan was nowhere to be seen in the room. When she went downstairs, she saw Yu Yiduo pouncing on her and hugging her. Yu Yiduo was very excited. Mu Mu, youre finally back. Auntie The moment Qiao Mu opened her mouth, Yu Yiduo interrupted her. Look at you, child. Call me mommy! Mommy. Qiao Mu called out shyly. Be good, my good daughter! As soon as Yu Yiduo finished speaking, Li Yan corrected her, Mom, its daughter-inw. Its all the same! Mumu, Mommy is preparing a banquet for you guys. Youve already registered your marriage. You must let everyone know about it!
Set up a banquet Qiao Mus lips twitched. Mom, theres no need. Use it! I must use it! Yu Yiduo was overjoyed. But marriage certificates from overseas are not recognized in China. Its fine as long as our family recognizes it! .. Madam Yu was so excited that she was afraid that she would run away. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan pleadingly, but Li Yan and Li Zheng were discussing something seriously on the sofa. They seemed to be discussing work matters andpletely ignored Qiao Mu. In the end, when Qiao Mu could no longer take it, Li Yan said, Mom, we dont n to make our rtionship public for the time being. Well talk about your thoughts after we officially register our marriage in China. How can that do? Thatll take more than a year. No matter what, we have to hold the banquet first and spread the news. What do you mean by making it public? Yu Yiduo disagreed. Qiao Mu listened silently from the side. If Madam Yu knew that she wanted to hide her rtionship with Li Yan in order to develop her career, would she have any opinions about her? Then, Li Yan said calmly, I have too manypetitors at work. It wont do her any good if I announce her now. Yu Yiduo shut her mouthpletely after hearing this. She then looked at Qiao Mu sympathetically. Mu Mu, Im sorry to have to trouble you. You cant make it public that youre married to a man like this. Youre too pitiful. Qiao Mu was speechless. Why did Ms. Yu make it sound like she was really pitiful? C After Qiao Mu had breakfast, she left the house in a hurry to report to school. After settling some trivial matters at school, she had lunch with Chi Xia and Baby Guan and went shopping together. After all, they hadnt seen each other for a month, and women had endless things to talk about when they met. Qiao Mu briefly told them about her time in Paris, but she didnt care about her rtionship with Shu Xinyu or her kidnapping. She didnt want them to worry.
After eating and strolling for an entire afternoon, the sky turned dark. Baby Guan suggested that they go back after dinner, and Qiao Mu agreed. Chi Xia picked up her phone and made a call, as if she was reporting her schedule to someone. Qiao Mu asked Baby Guan curiously, Hows Xiaxia and Su Chen doingtely? How would I know? Anyway, Xiaxia has moved out of the dormitorypletely. I dont know which wild man shes living with. Our dormitory is empty now. Its deserted. Baby Guan said.
Qiao Mu smiled. Then hows your cohabitation with that wild man of yours? Baby Guans expression was a little unnatural. She widened her eyes and emphasized, Were just purely living together, thats all! Oh, pure. Qiao Mu nodded, but her expression clearly showed disbelief. On the other side, Chi Xia told the phone that she would be having dinner outside. The other end of the phone was silent for a moment before she answered and hung up. Chapter 944: Are You Stupid? 1 Chapter 944: Are You Stupid? 1 Chi Xia put away her phone and walked over to Qiao Mu and Guan Baobei. She saw the two women looking at her ambiguously as if they were interrogating her about the person on the phone. Ill report to my boss, Chi Xia said. Dont think too much. Boss? Isnt your boss being too nosy in the middle of the night? Baby Guan pouted. Qiao Mu nodded in agreement. Xiaxia, when I called you in Paris, you were living with Su Chen. The two of you? Dont think too much. Hes my boss. Qiao Mu shrugged. Alright, boss it is. Chi Xia did not feel guilty at all. Su Chen was her boss after all. She could not go home to cook at night, so she had to report to him. She was his nanny, and he paid her. The two of them had always maintained this simple rtionship. Time passed too quickly. In the blink of an eye, she had been Su Chens nanny for a month. Every day, she would go to Su Chens apartment to cook for him. Su Chen would go back for dinner every day. Even if he had business meetings, she had to make that dinner. When he came home, she had to have supper. This mans food was not difficult to serve. No matter what she cooked, he would eat it. However, most of the time, he would find fault with it while eating.
She seriously suspected that this man was alone in the past. When no one cooked for him, why didnt he starve to death? The three women had Japan food for dinner. They chatted while eating. Time passed quickly and it was already veryte. Qiao Mus phone rang first. Li Yan asked if she was done and wanted to pick her up. Immediately after, Baby Guans phone rang. Lu Jingzhi urged her to go home. Although he sounded impatient, he still said that he would pick her up in the end. Chi Xia held her chin and felt that she was left alone. Qiao Mu looked at Chi Xia. Isnt your bossing to pick you up? Chi Xia pouted. I dont have such good treatment as an employee. As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Xias phone rang. The caller was Su Chen, which surprised Chi Xia. She picked up the call and heard the mans voice, Where are you? Chi Xia told him the address and Su Chen said, I just finished socializing. Im nearby. Ill go overter. No need Chi Xia was about to reject him, but before she could finish, the call was hung up. He raised his head and met Qiao Mus smiling face. It looks like your employee is treated much better than you imagined. Chi Xia did not know how to retort. She could not figure out what Su Chen was thinking. Sometimes, she felt that he was not that bad, but sometimes, he was really mean. Half an hourter, Li Yan and Lu Jingzhi arrived one after another to pick up Qiao Mu and Baby Guan. Chi Xia stood by the roadside, waiting for Su Chen. It was alreadyte winter and the night was cold. Chi Xia stood in the cold wind, shivering. Was this man ying with her on purpose? He said that he was nearby and woulde over in a while, but when he said a while, it meant a few hours? Just as Chi Xia was about to call Su Chen to confirm if he wasing to pick her up, she saw a familiar car stop in front of her. She got into the car and felt the warmth in the car. Only then did she rx.
Su Chen looked at her lips that were blue from the cold and frowned. How long have you been standing by the roadside? A long time. Chi Xia lowered her head and rubbed her hands as she breathed. Chapter 945: Su Chen, Are You Stupid? 2 Chapter 945: Su Chen, Are You Stupid? 2 Su Chens face darkened. Are you stupid? Why didnt you wait for me in the restaurant? You said youd be here in a while. How would I know it would take so long? Chi Xia was so cold that her voice trembled. Su Chen pursed his lips. It would take nearly an hour to get here from the ce where he was socializing. He had already sped as fast as he could, and it took him 40 minutes to get here. Did this woman really think that it was such a coincidence that he was nearby? She believed him when he said he would pick her up on the way! Looking at her bruised hands, he frowned and reached out to hold her hand. Her hands were so cold that they had no warmth at all. Chi Xias body stiffened. She felt the warmth from the mans palm and forgot to react. Although they lived under the same roof, it wasnt as if they didnt have any skin to skin contact. asionally touching was inevitable, but he had never held her hand directly like this before. She had forgotten what it felt like to touch him.
Chi Xia reacted and was about to pull her hand back when Su Chen released her the next second. He looked at her expression of rejection and said coldly, Why? Is touching you a breach of contract? You want to ask me for the penalty for breaching the contract? Young Master Su, even if its not that serious, please dont touch me. He touched her so casually as if he was concerned about her. However, his words were mocking her. He was the one who touched her first, and then he used the penalty to attack her. Why should he touch her whenever he wanted? Su Chen tightened his grip on the steering wheel and pursed his lips without saying a word. They were speechless throughout the journey. Chi Xia could sense that Su Chens aura wasnt good. She shifted her gaze to the outside of the car to distract herself. The end of the year was approaching. The trees on both sides of the street were covered with meteor lights. They flickered and were very eye-catching. The car turned and left the street with flickering lights. The surroundings outside darkened and Chi Xia identally saw Su Chens face reflected on the car window. The mans side profile was well-defined, and his gaze was focused on the front. She had to admit that Su Chen was really handsome. He was born with a noble temperament and impable facial features. He was almost perfect. At the same time, no one dared to get close. To Chi Xia, he was a dangerous existence. She regretted doing anything to touch him. Suddenly, the face reflected on the ss turned to look at her. Chi Xia was shocked and immediately closed her eyes, not daring to look him in the eye. Su Chen nced at Chi Xia. Her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep. However, her posture was very stiff. Her head was leaning against the car window. Her neck would hurt if she slept like this. He reached out to straighten her head. After making sure that she wouldnt be tired from sleeping, he continued to drive.
Chi Xia, who was pretending to be asleep, could not help but stiffen. The mans sudden action startled her. What was he doing? That was why Chi Xia could not understand this man. His emotions werepletely dependent on her mood. Simrly, he treated her with good or bad feelings. Chi Xias emotions wereplicated. She closed her eyes and fell asleep unknowingly. When the car arrived at the residential area, Chi Xia was still sleeping.
Su Chen got out of the car and opened the door of the passenger seat. He wanted to carry Chi Xia out of the car, but he thought that this woman would definitely make a fuss when she woke up and think that he had taken advantage of her. He pulled his hand back forcefully. He pushed her gently. Chi Xia, get out of the car. [Ill satisfy you. The update ends today ~] Chapter 946: Su Chen, Are You Stupid? 3 Chapter 946: Su Chen, Are You Stupid? 3 Chi Xia was still in a daze when she felt a hand touch her. She instinctively pushed the hand away. As she used too much force, she pped something hard and woke up from the pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw Su Chen standing at the side, looking at her coldly. His cold words woke her up. If you want to sleep in the car tonight, I dont mind. She immediately stood up to get out of the car when she identally knocked her head on the door frame. She grimaced in pain and rubbed her head before getting out of the car awkwardly. Su Chen looked at her silly face and smirked. Chi Xia, youre so stupid. Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia was still in a daze as she followed behind Su Chen with her head lowered. After entering the house, Chi Xia was about to return to her bedroom when she heard the mans voice behind her, Prepare supper for me. Chi Xia was fast asleep. She red at the man who was giving the orders unwillingly. Didnt you just finish your social engagement? Dont you eat when youre socializing? Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Are you concerned about me? I think youre deliberately making things difficult for me! Why do you want me to cook every day? Youre clearly eating outside, but you still want me to cook. Do you feel that youre unfair if you give me a sry and dont let me into the kitchen for a day? Chi Xias attitude was a little bad because she was too sleepy. All along, Su Chen would grant her every request. She felt that since he was taking his money, it was only right for him to serve her well.
However, there was no way he would deliberately make things difficult for her, right? Su Chen nced at her and sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened. You still know that I pay you? Since youre taking my money, be obedient. Take his money? She had been working for a month, but she had yet to see his sry! Chi Xia turned around and walked towards the bedroom. Su Chen frowned. Chi Xia! Can I wash my face and wake up, boss? After Chi Xia finished speaking, she went into the bedroom without looking back. Su Chen looked at the back of the man and the corners of his mouth curled up. He wasnt hungry, but he just wanted to see how busy she was in the kitchen. Sometimes, he woulde backte from work. If he didnt let her cook for him, she would lock herself in her room and not even look at him. If she could talk to him less, she would never say another word. After a while, Chi Xia came out of the bedroom and changed into a set of home clothes. She tied her long hair up and went into the kitchen with an apron on. Then, he heard the sounds of chopping and cooking in the kitchen. Su Chen didnt need to think to know what supper was tonight. Her signature beef noodles were so simple that she always used them to deal with him. Sure enough, ten minutester, Chi Xia came out of the kitchen with a bowl and chopsticks. She called out, Young Master Su, supper is ready. Su Chen walked over and nced at the hot noodles. Just as he sat down, he saw the woman remove her apron and turn around to leave. Where are you going? Su Chen looked up at her. Im going back to my room to sleep. The meal was already prepared, what else did he want? Go and mix me a te of cucumbers. Theres no cucumber in the fridge. Tomatoes. No more. Mix whatever you have. Su Chen ate his noodles and seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him. Actually, there was everything in the fridge, but Chi Xia just didnt want to serve it.
It was sote at night, and he still wanted to serve her with ten dishes and eight soups? [I have something to do during the day. Ill finish itter. Stay upte.] Chapter 947: Are You Stupid? 4 Chapter 947: Are You Stupid? 4 However, Chi Xia was already used to him making things difficult for her. She turned around and went into the kitchen. Two minutester, she came out and poured the food in her hands into Su Chens bowl. Su Chen lowered his head and saw that it was actuallyScallion! Chi Xia smiled. Young Master Su, this is all we have. Su Chen didnt get angry. He nodded at the person opposite him. Sit down. Im going to sleep. I havent slept yet, and you want to sleep? Su Chen ate his noodles slowly and repeated, Sit down. Im not hungry. Watch me eat. Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia did not want to bother with him, but when she thought about how bored he was eating alone, her heart softened and she sat down. She didnt know what was wrong with her. She clearly didnt want to get involved with this man, but she couldnt help but agree to his request. Sometimes, she always felt that this man seemed to be high and mighty, but when he was alone, his life was really terrible. There was no one to cook for him, no one to apany him, and he spent his time alone when he was sick. Compared to his morous appearance, his private life made her feel a little pitiful. Chi Xia had never realized that she liked to meddle in other peoples business so much. She did not know why she was entangled with this man. Sighing, she raised her head unintentionally and met Su Chens scrutinizing gaze. She was stunned for a moment before she heard the man say, Is it that worrying to apany me for a meal? No! Chi Xia replied instinctively, but she thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case. Hearing Chi Xias denial, the corners of Su Chens lips curled up. This woman was not too stupid. However, the next second, Chi Xia said something that deserved a beating, Young Master Su, I really dont want to have dinner with you. So, can I go back to my room now? The smile on Su Chens face froze before he could stop smiling. Then, his face darkened. He put down his chopsticks and got up to leave. Chi Xia was stunned. The man stood up abruptly, giving her a shock. Young Master Su, youre not eating? Chi Xia stood up and asked. He had only eaten half of a big bowl of beef noodles. It was a waste, alright? Su Chen didnt answer Chi Xias question at all. With a cold face, he walked towards the bedroom. Chi Xia thought of something and chased after him. Young Master Su, wait a moment. Su Chen stopped in his tracks and looked at the woman who had caught up to him. Didnt she dislike apanying him? Why did hee over now? Even though Su Chens face was cold, he still had a glimmer of hope for Chi Xias performance. Perhaps, this woman was not that stupid after all. But Chi Xias words made Su Chens face darken again. Young Master Su, Ive been working for you for a month and six days. When are you going to pay me? Chi Xia asked after some thought. Su Chen couldnt describe what he was feeling right now. He had high hopes for her time and time again, but he was disappointed again and again! He actually thought that this woman would be enlightened! Although Chi Xia did not like money, she was still looking forward to thirty thousand yuan! She usually worked part-time and could only earn two to three thousand yuan at most. A months sry was equivalent to a years worth of part-time work. She had worked hard to be Su Chens nanny for a month. She should at least be paid a sry to make her feel that it was worth it to be troubled by him for the past month, right? However, she didnt mention this matter, and this man didnt mention it either. She was a little worried that he would go back on his word. Wasnt it said that the richer one was, the more stingy he was? Chapter 948: Are You Stupid? 5 Chapter 948: Are You Stupid? 5 Chi Xia noticed that Su Chens expression was not too good. She thought that he was unhappy that she had mentioned money to him and wanted to renege on the debt. After some thought, Chi Xia said, Young Master Su, Ive been doing my best to cook for you every day. Ive been doing my job as a nanny. Now that its time for me to get paid, you want to go back on your word. Do you think thats a good idea? As Chi Xia was speaking, she saw Su Chen raise his hand at her. She was shocked and subconsciously shrank her neck, thinking that he was angry and wanted to hit her. This action made Su Chens expression turn even worse. He pinched her chin and shook her head. His tone was extremely harsh. Chi Xia, whats in your head? If youre tired, go to sleep quickly. Dont show off your low IQ here. Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia stared at Su Chen with her eyes wide open. After he finished speaking, he let go of her chin in disgust and turned around to enter the bedroom. So, this man was avoiding paying her sry? Chi Xia did not give up and knocked on the door. Then, a mans voice sounded in the room. If you want to stay in my room tonight, you cane in directly. Chi Xias action of knocking on the door suddenly froze. After a while, she finally gave up on arguing with him and went into the bedroom while gritting her teeth. It seemed that he really wanted to renege on his promise. No wonder he had agreed to her so readily. It turned out that he had no intention of giving her a sry at all! This big liar! The next morning, Chi Xia woke up andy motionless on the bed. If it was in the past, she would have woken up to prepare breakfast. However, she did not get paid and decided to quit her job. Why was she risking her life to live under the same roof as Su Chen every day? The only benefit she had was gone. What motivation did she have? There was a knock on the door and Su Chens unhappy voice could be heard. Chi Xia, get up and cook! Give me my sry first, and Ill cook. Chi Xia braced herself and voiced her thoughts. After all, she was still not confident in protesting against Su Chen. Su Chen sneered. Ill say it again. Come out and cook. If you donte out, dont even think about getting the money! Chi Xia was furious. Suddenly, she thought of something and climbed out of bed. She took out a receipt from thepartment of her wallet. It was the contract that Su Chen had written. The contract stated that the penalty for breach of contract was 100 million yuan! Chi Xia immediately perked up. She took the penalty money and opened the door aggressively. She rushed out, Su Chen, you broke the contract. Give me one billion! Su Chen looked down at the woman with messy hair. One button of her pajamas was slightly unbuttoned. Since she wasnt wearing any undergarments, she had a perky spot that could be seen through her undergarments. Su Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, Chi Xia, are you using this method to lure me in? Chi Xia was stunned. She followed his line of sight and lowered her head. Then, her face suddenly turned red. She was so excited that she came out without changing her clothes! Chi Xia felt both embarrassed and angry as she ran back to the bedroom. Ten minutester, Chi Xia came out in a neat outfit. She looked at the man sitting on the sofa and continued to argue, Either you give me thirty thousand or one billion! Su Chen leaned backzily on the sofa and looked down at his phone. He said calmly, The contract doesnt mention that not paying you is considered a breach of contract. One of the terms of the breach is that I touched you and gave you a billion yuan aspensation. So, are you hinting at me to touch you? Chapter 949: Are You Stupid? 6 Chapter 949: Are You Stupid? 6 Chi Xias face stiffened when she heard his words. Then, she saw him looking up at her and beckoning her with his finger. If you want one billion yuan, then think of a way to let me touch you. Chi Xia was speechless. How could this man be so shameless! Chi Xias face turned red and then white. She was so angry that she could not say a word. At that moment, Chi Xia felt like she had been cheated. She had swallowed her pride and worked as his nanny for a month just for the temptation of 30,000 yuan. But now, this man actually didnt want to admit it! Chi Xia bit her lip and stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. The man in front of her did not even look at her. She did not know what he was doing with his phone. After a while, he put down his phone and looked up at her. Go cook. Su Chen, dont go too far! Chi Xia gritted her teeth. She wanted to turn around and leave, but she was unwilling to ept it. She did not get her sry. It was not worth it to leave like this! Her phone rang, but Chi Xia ignored it. She continued to stand there and confront Su Chen. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Arent you going to check your phone?
Give me my sry! Chi Xia red at him. Take a look at your phone first. Chi Xia did not understand what Su Chen meant. Was he trying to divert her attention? She casually opened her phone and saw the transfer information from her bank card. Just now, there was an additional 30,000 yuan in her ount! Chi Xia was stunned. So, he was transferring money just now! Chi Xia counted again and again. It was indeed a five-digit number, and her mood improved. Su Chen looked at the woman in front of him. Her face was full of changes. The moment she saw the transfer, she was surprised, and then her eyes were filled with joy. Su Chens eyes narrowed when he saw how happy she was. So, from the beginning to the end, this woman had been with him for the sake of money. She had swallowed her anger and cooked for him to satisfy his requests. It was all for money! Su Chen clearly knew that he had used this temptation to tempt her to agree to his conditions. However, a monthter, when she still only had money in her eyes, he was still a little disappointed. He had thought that as long as he could keep her by his side, he would be able to ept her no matter what her identity was or what method she used. However, gradually, he wanted more and more. After trapping her by his side, he still wanted to have her! However, this woman would never give him the chance. Su Chen shifted his gaze away from Chi Xias face and said coldly, Can we go cook now? Chi Xia sobered up and nced at Su Chen. She turned around and walked into the room, saying, Im sorry, Young Master Su. Im done being your nanny. I quit this job! She had received the money, so she had to leave quickly. She did not want any more idents to happen. Su Chens face darkened. This woman really didnt want him to be in a good mood! He stood up and walked towards her. His tall body caught up with her after a few steps and grabbed her wrist. Chi Xia, are you ying hard to get with me? Chi Xia shook him off and took a step back. Young Master Su, it wasnt easy for me to get my first months sry. I dont know if youll go back on your word in the future. Since youre unwilling to spend money, why did you hire such an expensive nanny like me? Therefore, its better for our deal to end here. Sure! Su Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest and smiled coldly. Its ast-minute breach of contract. Take out one billion before leaving.
Chapter 950: Su Chen: I’m Serious (1) Chapter 950: Su Chen: Im Serious (1) Are you kidding me?! Chi Xia was practically shouting as she waved the contract that he had personally written in her hand. Which part of the contract states that I have topensate you with one billion yuan if I resign? Tell me, which sentence means this! This man was so unreasonable that his eyes were wide open! Su Chen took the contract from Chi Xias hands and looked at it for a while. Then, he picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper before returning it to Chi Xia. Its written very clearly on it now. Look for yourself. Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia snatched the contract over and saw a line of obvious words:Resigning early within a year was considered a breach of contract. Chi Xias mouth twitched. One year? He was really asking for an exorbitant price, wanting her to be his ve for a year? Su Chen nced at Chi Xia indifferently, not taking her emotions seriously at all. He said calmly, Alright, you can go cook now. Im not doing it! Its fine if you dont do it. Give me the penalty. Su Chen, youre being shameless. What you wrote just now doesnt count. It doesnt work at all!
Whether it takes effect or not, I have the final say. No matter how agitated Chi Xia was, Su Chen remained calm and collected. He raised his hand to look at his watch and urged, Ill give you twenty minutes to prepare breakfast. I have a meeting in the morning. If Imte, Ill deduct the loss of profits from your next months sry. Perhaps your monthly sry wont even be enough to deduct it. Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia was so angry that she had lost the ability to speak. She could only re at Su Chen with her furious eyes. This man! She no longer wanted to use any words to describe him! She took a deep breath and took another deep breath. She could endure it if he asked her to continue being his nanny. After all, she had no reason to reject such a high sry. Even if it was a little dangerous, it did not matter. However, he wanted to deduct her sry. In the first month, he only gave her a little bit of sweetness and paid her sry. If in the future, he often deducted her sry because she did not serve him properly, how could she endure such torture? So, you want me to be your nanny for a year, but you also want to go back on your word and not pay me? Chi Xia asked after a while. For the next eleven months, if you think of ways to deduct my sry, wont I suffer a huge loss? Su Chen raised his eyebrows. This woman was still thinking about money. He ignored her and reminded her kindly, There are still seventeen minutes left. Chi Xia was speechless. After hesitating for two seconds, Chi Xia turned around and went into the kitchen! Damn it! This bastard! Su Chen looked at her angry back and transferred the money to her. If this could allow her to stay by his side for a year in peace, it wouldnt be a bad thing. Chi Xia angrily finished cooking in fifteen minutes and delivered the food to Su Chen. She checked the time on her phone and saw an unread message. Chi Xias eyes widened in shock when she saw the contents of the message. It was another transfer message, but this time One, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand! A transfer of 300,000 yuan!
Just a moment ago, 300,000 yuan had entered her ount! Chi Xia did not react for a long time. She felt that she had been turned around by the wrong person. However, she suddenly felt that something was wrong and looked at the man who was eating. After hesitating for a moment, she asked tentatively,Su Chen, did you transfer the money to me? Su Chen looked up at her and did not deny it.
It really was him! Chapter 951: Su Chen: I’m Serious (2) Chapter 951: Su Chen: Im Serious (2) Chi Xia was shocked and did not react at all. What do you mean by that? Ill give you one years sry in advance. Su Chens tone was calm as he looked at Chi Xias surprised expression. So, you dont have to worry about me going back on my word. Im not that reluctant to pay for a nanny. Ive already given you the money. If you break the contract halfway, you dont have topensate me with one billion yuan At this point, Su Chen paused. Chi Xia suddenly felt that she had wronged Su Chen. Actually, this man was not that bad. Even if she epted the money and broke the contract midway, she did not need topensate him one billion! She only needed to return the money to him! However, just as Chi Xia was getting excited, she recalled Su Chens words, I know you cant afford to pay me a billion. Just pay me a hundred times your sry in advance. A hundred times? That one sentence made Chi Xias good mood plummet. 100 times was 30 million! 30 million! One billion was an astronomical figure to her, but thirty million was also an astronomical figure, okay?
He wasnt helping her at all. He was ying with her on purpose! Su Chen, is it fun to y with me like this? Chi Xia was deted. To think that she still had a moment to think that his character was not that bad. Su Chens eyes darkened and he said in a low voice, Im serious. Chi Xia, think about it carefully. Chi Xia looked at the man in front of her and her expression suddenly turned serious. She was stunned. Wasnt he toying with her? But he told her that he was serious! He was serious. He wanted her to consider it carefully! His tone and attitude made it seem like he was confessing to her. Chi Xias heart was in a mess. It was not because of the money. She just could not understand what this man meant. Hiring a nanny with an annual sry of 300,000 yuan was indeed not cheap. It was too extravagant. Moreover, she was a dabbler. She was not very good at cooking, let alone cleaning. She was not diligent at all. Moreover, she was a student and did not have much time every day. But why did he choose her? Was it because they identally had sex twice? Because he didnt think it was an eyesore, so he kept it by his side? Chi Xias mind was in a mess and she felt extremely ufortable. Or Chi Xia didnt dare to think about it, nor did she want to. She was afraid that some thoughts were not within the range of what she could bear. She had always felt that something was wrong, but she did not dare to think about it. Perhaps she was overthinking. Su Chen squinted at Chi Xias reaction. After a while, he asked, Have you thought it through? Chi Xia gritted her teeth and nodded. Deal! Almost the moment she finished speaking, she saw the man opposite her smile as if he had taken advantage of her. She instantly felt like she had been cheated.
Su Chen slowly wiped the corner of his mouth. Chi Xia, for this year, youre mine. Chi Xia was stunned. She watched as the man got up and walked to the door with his tall body. He put on his coat and prepared to leave. Chi Xia chased after him. Su Chen, I spent so much money to hire me to be your nanny. Dont you think its a loss? A monthly sry of 30,000 is not a normal amount for a nanny. This question was still asked.
She was just very puzzled. What was he trying to do? Chapter 952: Su Chen: I’m Serious (3) Chapter 952: Su Chen: Im Serious (3) Su Chen narrowed his eyes and nced at Chi Xia indifferently. He then leaned over and put on his shoes as if nothing had happened. When the man at the door was fully dressed, he finally gave her a look. The corners of his mouth curled up as he looked at her as if he was looking at a country bumpkin. Thirty thousand a month is a lot? The monthly sry of the nannies in my vi is not lower than five figures. Do you think youre worth a lot? Although the sentence sounded casual and natural, Chi Xia could hear the sarcasm in it! It was tant sarcasm! It turned out that she had gritted her teeth and written a monthly sry of 30,000 yuan. In his eyes, she really did not take it seriously at all! She felt that she had profited, but he also felt that he had profited! Chi Xia felt that she was just a country bumpkin in Su Chens eyes! A country bumpkin! By the time Chi Xia reacted, Su Chen had already opened the door and was walking out. She quickly called out, Young Master Su, arent you going to send me to school?
If you dy me for another minute, my meeting will be dyed. Do you want to return the 300,000 yuan I just gave you to me bit by bit? Chi Xia was speechless. Again! He was still thinking about such a small amount of money! Su Chen stood at the elevator entrance. When the elevator came up, he turned around and nced at Chi Xia. You just received a years sry. Splurge a little and take a taxi to school. Chi Xia really wanted to fight back. She was famous for her sharp tongue in the Law Department. How could she not use it at this time? However, when she was ready to fight back, Su Chen had already stepped into the elevator and left. C On the way back, Su Chen was driving. He wanted tough when he thought about Chi Xias defeated expression when he left. When the corners of his lips curled up unknowingly, his expression stiffened and he quickly retracted his smile. He was really crazy. He was actuallyughing alone! However, he finally found a way to make this woman stay by his side. One year was enough! If a year was still not enough to make her fall for him Su Chens face darkened at the thought of this. The possibility of this happening was almost zero! His phone rang. He picked it up and heard Ling Xis voice. Second Brother, do you want to get together tonight? Big Brother and I worked so hard toe back from abroad. Why arent you guys giving us a wee party? How unkind! How many days did you go to France? Su Chen asked. You chased a woman overseas and even used the excuse of doing business. You didnt even keep an eye on Big Brothers woman. You should have let Big Brother send you to South Africa to train you. Second Brother, do you have to be so ruthless? Even if you dont give me a wee party, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-inw have already registered their marriage. We have to celebrate for them, right? Ling Xi was very enthusiastic as she made the arrangements. Tonight or tomorrow night? Anyway, the sooner the better. Big Brother is the main character. Why are you asking me? Anytime. Alright! Then its settled! Su Chen was always easy to talk to when it came to gatherings, so Ling Xi contacted someone easy to talk to first.
After hanging up, Ling Xi called Lu Jingzhi. He finally had a woman. Of course, he had to show off at the gathering. He wanted to tell everyone that they were not the only ones who had women to apany them. He also had a woman! He had finally gotten the opportunity he had been waiting for! However, when he dialed Lu Jingzhis number, it was a woman who picked up the phone!
Chapter 953: Looks Like You Really Have No Experience Chapter 953: Looks Like You Really Have No Experience That wasnt the main point. The main point was that the womans voice waszy, as if she had just been woken up. Ling Xi immediately started gossiping. The other partys voice was indeed Baby Guan, but Lu Jingzhi was too fast. Unknowingly, he had already taken her down. Looking at the way he interacted with Baby Guan, she thought that he hadnt seeded yet. Hello, Baby Guan said. When she heard no response from the other end, she snorted unhappily. Who is it? Im looking for Lu Jingzhi. Ling Xi said. Youre looking for Lu Jingzhi. Why are you calling me? As Baby Guan spoke, she suddenly paused as if she had sensed something was wrong. Ling Xiughed. You two are so good. Cant you tell whose number it is? Tell him that he can bring a woman to the gathering at the same ce tonight. Ling Xi hung up the phone. On the other side, Baby Guan stared nkly at the phone in her hand. It was indeed not hers. Lu Jingzhis phone was ck, while hers was silver! But why was she holding Lu Jingzhis phone?
Just as Baby Guan was in a daze, she heard a clear voice beside her ear. Youre awake? Baby Guans body stiffened. She turned around and saw Lu Jingzhi lying beside her. Thats right, he was lying down! Baby Guan felt terrible. She stared at him with her eyes wide open. You, you, you Why are you on my bed? This is my bed. Lu Jingzhi sat up nonchntly and leaned against the headboard. He looked down at her and said, Look carefully. You are in my room. You are the one who climbed into my bed. Baby Guan looked around and sure enough, it was Lu Jingzhis room! But why was she in his room? Who was next to him? After dinnerst night, Qiao Mu and Chixia parted ways and got into Lu Jingzhis car. After that, she seemed to have fallen asleep and lost consciousness. Baby Guan suddenly reacted and pointed her finger at Lu Jingzhi. She said angrily, You took advantage of me while I was asleep. Lu Jingzhi, you bastard! Viin! Hooligan! Shameless! As she spoke, Baby Guan hugged the nket and kicked Lu Jingzhi hard. Lu Jingzhi was caught off guard and was kicked. Then, he was kicked again. He wanted to vent his hatred endlessly. Lu Jingzhi frowned. He lifted his head and pressed down on her outstretched leg, preventing her from moving freely. He leaned slightly closer to her and said with a smile, Baby Guan, if I took advantage of you, would you be able to sleep until now and kick me like a dragon and tiger? Lu Jingzhis tone was ambiguous and full of hints, reminding her that he did not touch her at all. Shameless! Baby Guans face turned red. She wanted to struggle to get up, but her legs were pressed down by him and she could not move. Such close intimacy made her heart beat faster. She suddenly felt that she was very useless. She definitely could not fall for his beauty! Although they had been living together for a long time, they had only kissed a few times. Pei, pei, pei. No, to be exact, he had kissed her forcefully a few times. Other than that, they had not progressed any further. Because every time he got close, she would definitely kick him. Why would she give him a chance? However, they slept together the moment she woke up. How could she not be angry? This man was always thinking of taking advantage of her!
Lu Jingzhis gaze swept across Baby Guans body through the nket. It seems that you really dont have much experience. Chapter 954: Using Her to Increase Experience Chapter 954: Using Her to Increase Experience Baby Guans face instantly turned colorful. She red angrily at the man who wasughing arrogantly in front of her. She lowered her hand to his face and pushed his face away. Lu Jingzhi did not dodge. He looked at the small hand that was ced against his mouth, opened his mouth, and bit it. To be precise, it was licking. Her palm felt itchy. Baby Guan froze and quickly pulled her hand back. Lu Jingzhiughed softly. Why? Are you so angry because I said you have no experience? Am I wrong? Baby Guan gritted her teeth and smiled coldly. Thats right. Im inexperienced. How can Ipare to you? Youre experienced. Youre out in the hotel every day! Lu Jingzhi narrowed his eyes. This woman really knew how to use him! Since when did he have so much experience outside? She had only caught him once, and it was just a misunderstanding. How casual did she think he was? How long had she been living in his house? Other than attending social events outside, when had he not returned home on time? Lu Jingzhi smirked. Since you think that Im so casual and did not take advantage of youst night, Im really sorry for my image in your heart. So, its not toote to be casual now.
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped over and pressed her under his body. Guan Baobei was shocked and kicked him. However, she had proven many times that as long as this man wanted to hide, she could not touch him at all. She kept struggling, using both her hands and feet, but he held her firmly in ce. Lu Jingzhi, take your ws away. Dont touch me! Lu Jingzhi held her hands above her head and kissed her lips fiercely. Her soft lips seemed to have a sweet taste that made him unable to stop. He had wanted to do this for a long time. Kissing her seemed to be an addiction. The way she looked when she was asleep was very alluring. He did want to take advantage of her, but when he thought aboutying his hands on an unconscious woman, he felt like a pervert. He had to endure it again and again before he stopped his evil thoughts. Although he did not steal a kiss from her, it felt good to sleep with her in his arms. If she had not fallen asleep and seized this good opportunity, how could she have slept on his bed? Sometimes, Lu Jingzhi felt that he was really quite dirty. He regretted very much that this woman had taken the initiative to lean into his arms but was pushed away by him. Since she wasnt taking the initiative now, he would take the initiative instead. Baby Guan was stunned by the kiss. Her eyes widened and she struggled. This bastard, was he trying to use her to enrich his experience? Didnt he despise her back then? He felt that having a fiance like her was a terrible thing. What was going on now? She knew now that this man was just trying to be irresponsible. It was just like the time when she caught the woman in the hotel. That woman was disheveled and then he coldly chased her away. So, when she was his fiance, he didnt touch her. Now that the marriage was canceled, he ced all his attention on her! Baby Guan felt dizzy from the kiss. She kept squirming and struggling, only to find that the mans kiss was even deeper, making her breathless. Lu Jingzhis body tensed up because of her provocation. He had only wanted to tease her, but now he had lost control. This woman was too tempting to him.
He reluctantly left her lips and met her dazed eyes. There was a trace of resistance and anger in the depths of his eyes. Chapter 955: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (1) Chapter 955: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (1) Baby Guan wanted to push Lu Jingzhi away, but Lu Jingzhi held her tightly in his arms and said in a low and hoarse voice, Dont move, or I cant guarantee that Ill do anything to you. Baby Guans body froze, not moving at all. A certain part of the mans body was pressed against her, making her feel embarrassed and angry. Men were indeed beasts! She took the opportunity to push him away. With a flip, she quickly jumped off the bed and escaped from the room. Lu Jingzhi was pushed aside and sighed helplessly. He got up and went into the bathroom. Didnt they say that if you wanted to possess a woman, you had to first possess her body? He wanted to try this move, but if it didnt work on this woman, he couldnt take such a risk. C After Ling Xi called Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi, he called Li Yan again. He said that his brothers were going to celebrate the marriage registration for his big brother. Even though it was an overseas marriage certificate, they still had to celebrate.
Li Yan asked Qiao Mu while he was on the phone, Theres a gathering tonight. Do you want to go? After Qiao Mu was done with her work, she had nothing else to do other than school matters. Since she had nothing to do, it was good to rx. She nodded at Li Yan to express her agreement. Ling Xi listened to Young Master Li and Qiao Mus conversation. Even though he had witnessed him doting on his woman countless times, he had nowpletely be a good husband who had no opinion of his own and had to consult his wife before making a decision. Was this really good? As a man, what dignity was there to talk about? A married man was really too scary! Since the matter was settled, Ling Xi called Ye Nuan again. The call went through and he said arrogantly, Tonight, theres a lot of gold and jade. Come have dinner with me. Young Master Ling, I have something on tonight Ye Nuan had just opened her mouth when Ling Xi interrupted her. Whats more important than me? As my femalepanion, when I need you, its time for you toe into y. Why was he so enthusiastic about organizing a gathering? This woman actually said that she was busy! Then, Ling Xi made a decision. Ill pick you up at your house at six oclock sharp. Ye Nuan was silent for a while before she finally agreed. Actually, she really didnt want to have any contact with Ling Xi. If she couldnt push him away, she could hide from him. However, he couldnt dodge it even if he wanted to. C At night, the ce was filled with gold and jade. Everyone was there except for Ling Xi. Lu Jingzhi said, Little Fourth has always been here earlier than anyone else. Whats wrong today? He made it, but its almost time for dinner and he hasnte yet. Su Chen looked at Lu Jingzhi. Give him a call. As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xi pushed open the door and entered. Ye Nuan stood beside him. If he hadnt picked up the woman beside him, would he haveete? When Qiao Mu saw Ye Nuan, she smiled and waved at her. Ye Nuan nodded with a smile and followed Ling Xi to sit on a chair.
Lu Jingzhi looked at Ye Nuan. Is this the woman you went to Paris to find? Ye Nuan was stunned. Ling Xi went to Paris to look for her? Ling Xis expression darkened. I went to Paris for business. When did I go to see her? Qiao Mu was struck. You still have the cheek to say that youre going to do something? How can I be in the mood to do anything?
Ling Xi was referring to keeping an eye on her for Li Yan, but in the end, Qiao Mu still got into trouble. Hence, Qiao Mus words werepletely sarcastic. Ling Xis expression was a little unnatural. This was really touching the sore spot. This was the first time he brought a woman out, couldnt these people give him some face? Chapter 956: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (2) Chapter 956: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (2) In order to change the topic, Ling Xi said, Mo, I called you in the morning and it was Baby Guan who picked up. She sounded like she was still asleep. You two really can sleep. Its alreadyte in the morning and youre still enjoying the warmth of the nket? Everyones gaze fell on Lu Jingzhi and Baby Guan. Baby Guan was speechless. Why did she have to make such a shameful matter known to everyone? She looked at Ling Xi angrily. Ling Xi shrugged innocently. He was telling the truth. Then, she red at Lu Jingzhi. Lu Jingzhi was even more disapproving. He raised his head and nced at Ling Xi. What does it have to do with you what time I sleep with my woman? You really like to meddle in other peoples business. Are you jealous that you dont have it yourself? Ling Xi choked. Why didnt I? Am I not? Why would I be jealous of you? Lu Jingzhi turned his head to look at Baby Guan. When he saw that she was staring at him with her big eyes, he smiled and leaned over to her, whispering, Youre so thick-skinned, yet youre actually shy? Who doesnt know that the two of us are living together? Whats there to be shy about? Baby Guan snorted and turned her face away to chat with Chi Xia. Qiao Mu looked at the couples flirting and could not help butugh. She said to Li Yan, Uncle, arent they here to celebrate our marriage? Why do you only know how to flirt with girls after you came?
Theyre like me, Li Yan said calmly. Women are more important than brothers. Qiao Mu was speechless. These words were said so naturally. He had really had enough! Qiao Mu coughed lightly and shook the ring on her finger. Then shouldnt we show off our affection now? She had always been wearing the diamond ring for the proposal. However, this unting did not have any effect. Chi Xia, Guan Baobei, and Ye Nuan had already seen the big diamond ring before, so they were indifferent to it. For these men, diamond rings were even more meaningless. They could be bought with money. However, Ling Xi suddenly said, Bro, this diamond ring doesnt look right. Didnt you ask the United Kingdom royal designer to make a pair of wedding rings? This model is obviously different from the sample I saw. Qiao Mu was stunned by his words. She looked at Li Yan in confusion. She did not know about this. As soon as Ling Xi finished speaking, he was met with Li Yans cold re. He immediately felt that he had said too much and quickly shut up. Baby Guan gloated. Young Master Li, you ordered such a wedding ring but didnt use it to propose to Mu Mu. Dont tell me youre saving it for someone elses marriage proposal? These words were obviously adding fuel to the fire, wasnt it? Lu Jingzhi picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Baby Guans mouth. Dont talk so much when youre eating. Shut your mouth and eat. How dare she say such things? Did this woman think that his brother was as easy to talk to as him? She was spouting nonsense. He could tolerate it and not argue with her, but he provoked his brother! However, women loved to gossip, so Chi Xia joined in the fun. The designer of the United Kingdom royal family. It sounds so high-ss. Look at the diamond ring on Mu Mus finger. Its actually quite ordinary. Ling Xi looked at the two reckless women and thought that his woman was more obedient. She sat there and ate without saying a word. However, just as Ling Xi felt that he had picked up a treasure, Ye Nuan spoke up, Ive heard that the royal designer can only make a few pairs of diamond rings in a year. They are all priceless and unique in the world. Although the diamond ring on Mu Mus hand is also expensive, it cant bepared.
Chapter 957: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (3) Chapter 957: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (3) Ling Xi was speechless. Alright, he was thinking too much just now. Initially, Qiao Mu did not think too much about it, but after hearing these peoples words, she became puzzled. She looked at Li Yan. Uncle, is what Young Master Ling said true? Why didnt I know that you prepared such a priceless wedding ring? Oh my god, Mu Mu, you actually dont know? Did Young Master Li prepare it behind your back? Theres indeed a conspiracy! Before Baby Guan could swallow the food in her mouth, she spoke again in surprise. Then, Lu Jingzhi stuffed an unpeeled prawn into her mouth. Baby Guan spat out the prawn and red at Lu Jingzhi angrily. Do you think Im a trash can? Youre stuffing everything into my mouth! Shut up and eat. Baby Guan suddenly looked like she understood. I know. You guys are colluding with each other and doing bad things, so youre feeling guilty! Lu Jingzhi was speechless. What was going on!
Why did they also benefit from his big brothers matter? Moreover, Lu Jingzhi had never heard of a wedding ring designed by a designer. He did not know how Ling Xi knew about it. In fact, Ling Xi had identally found it in Li Yans pocket when he was in Paris. At that time, Ling Xi was still puzzled. Hadnt they already registered their marriage? He had already proposed, so why didnt he give the ring away? Ling Xi only remembered this when Qiao Mu showed off her proposal ring earlier. Baby Guans words of colluding with evil had implicated several men. Chi Xia subconsciously nced at Su Chen. Su Chen raised an eyebrow and her eyes were filled with doubt, making him a little unhappy. He said coldly, Im not in a sorry state. Chi Xia was stunned. Was he trying to exin to her? Why was he exining to her? Whether they were colluding or not, it didnt seem to have anything to do with her, right? She was just an outsider, watching the show. The group of people were indulging in their own fantasies. In the end, everyone looked at Li Yan and waited for his answer. Including Qiao Mu. Seeing how calm he was, Qiao Mu could not help but ask again, Li Yan, so many people are staring at you? Shouldnt you be honest? Where did the ring go? Li Yan lowered his head and met Qiao Mus gaze. She called him by his name and did not call him uncle, which meant that this little thing was serious. Did she really think that he had other suitors? Li Yans expression was calm andposed as he faced the stares of the people at the table. He swept his cold gaze around with a hint of warning before hended his gaze on Qiao Mus face. He bent down and approached Qiao Mu, cing his lips next to her ear. Using a voice that only the two of them had, he said softly, I prepared that priceless wedding ring for our official wedding. Qiao Mu was still interrogating him, but she was stunned when she heard Li Yans words. Then, a blush appeared on her face. Their wedding? Their wedding was still far away, and he had actually prepared it so early! After Li Yan finished speaking, he straightened his body and his expression returned to normal. He did not want to share his private matters with these people who were watching the show.
The few people at the side did not hear anything, and they were very curious about what Li Yan had said when they saw Qiao Mus reaction. Ling Xi was extremely shocked. Big Brother was too awesome, settling Qiao Mu with just a sentence! Ling Xi nced at Ye Nuan. They were both men, but why wasnt he so capable? Baby Guan was a little disappointed that she didnt get to see a good show.
Chi Xia was about to look away when she noticed the silver ring on Li Yans finger. She could not help but ask, Young Master Li, the ring youre wearing, is it the proposal ring that Mu Mu gave you? Chapter 958: Passing on the Experience of Flirting 4 Chapter 958: Passing on the Experience of Flirting 4 Chi Xias words made everyones attention turn to Li Yan again. Only then did she realize that Li Yan was indeed wearing a ring on his finger. This man had never worn jewelry on his finger before, so this was definitely an engagement ring! Li Yan graciously replied, Yes, its from Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu felt a little awkward at the mention of this. She was really embarrassed to have bought a ring from a roadside stall as a gift. However, Ling Xi tactfully said, Why isnt there even a diamond? Sister-inw, youre a famous designer now. You even participated in the Paris Fashion Week. Your ie should be quite high, right? But the ring I gave you looks very cheap! Lu Jingzhi added, Moreover, it looks a little old-fashioned. It looks like a silver ring worn by an olddy. Is this the taste of a designer? Qiao Mu was speechless. Can you not give me such a blow? Although what they said was right.
The ring was a bare ring without any decorations. Although the ring was very rustic, it did not look that ugly on Li Yans finger. In any case, this man had his own halo. Anything that touched him would automatically glow, so the ring was still eptable. She had originally nned to give him a new ringter, but seeing that he was wearing it well, she was not in a hurry. It was really embarrassing to be like this now, alright? When Li Yan proposed to her, he gave her such a beautiful diamond ring and even made a priceless wedding ring to prepare for their future wedding. However, she seemed a little too insincere! Li Yan nced at Qiao Mus awkward expression and coldly nced at Ling Xi and Lu Jingzhi, who were meddling in other peoples business. He said venomously, Love token, do you know what it means? You dont even have a very cheap ring. If you do, dont make a fool of yourself here. Ling Xi was speechless. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Didnt they just casuallyment a few words? Did they have to attack them like this? A love token! When he said this word, it made her feel so jealous. Lu Jingzhi felt that the two of them were the only ones who had been insulted. He was a little unwilling and dragged Su Chen into the matter. Second Brother, what do you think? Su Chen raised his eyebrows. I agree with what Big Brother said. The two of you deserve to be abused! .. Qiao Mu felt Li Yans protection, and her heart was indescribably happy. She leaned closer to him and whispered, Wait for me to give you an expensive love token! This is good. I like it very much. As long as it was a gift from her, he would not dislike it. Qiao Mus heart was filled with even more happiness. Aiya, this man must have been soaked in honey. No matter what he said, he felt a tinge of sweetness. After the meal, they had no intention of leaving. The night was long, and Ling Xi suggested ying cards. Qiao Mu said she wanted to y, and the men all said they didnt want to y. However, Qiao Mu wanted to y, so she sent her own woman to y. When a woman fought another woman, there was no need to show mercy.
On the other side, the four women had already set up a table and were having a good time. On the other side, four men were sitting on the sofa and drinking tea. Big Brother, have you found out who kidnapped Qiao Mu? Su Chen asked. Li Yans eyes darkened as he looked at Ling Xi. You volunteered to investigate this matter. What happened?
Big Brother, its really not that I didnt do my job well. Ive checked, but there are still no clues. I havent rxed at all. Ling Xi expressed his sincerity. Chapter 959: Passing on the Experience of Flirting 5 Chapter 959: Passing on the Experience of Flirting 5 No matter what, it was Ling Xis ipetence that caused the Murong Dynastys people to take advantage of the loophole and cause Qiao Mu to be in trouble. Therefore, Ling Xi suggested that he investigate this matter thoroughly and give Li Yan an exnation. However, after a few days, they still did not find any clues. As long as they did not investigate thoroughly, Qiao Mu would be in danger. Arent you sure its a woman? Lu Jingzhi asked. Qiao Mu must know him, so why dont we just start investigating the people who oppose her? Ling Xi: Thats what I thought too, but Ive investigated everyone who had conflicts with Qiao Mu in Paris. They all have alibis, and we cant see their faces in the surveince cameras, so its a little difficult. Its not just the people in Paris. Have you investigated those who are at odds with Qiao Mu in the country? Su Chen said. Ling Xi nodded. Its easy to start with people in the country. We just need to check the entry and exit records. Neither Ning Tongtong nor Ji Lan have left the country. If they sent someone to do this, its simple. This person did it himself. It seems that he knows that hiring others is unreliable, so he did it wlessly. Li Yans lips curled up coldly. It seems like Qiao Mu still has such a powerful character hiding by her side. The hatred he has for wanting to kill her is not shallow. Send someone to keep an eye on Ning Tongtong and Ji Lan. Since we cant find anything on the other end, well keep an eye on the suspect. Since weve made a move and didnt seed, we wont stop so easily in the end. Ling Xi nodded. This was the only way. The atmosphere here was a little depressing. On the other side, the mahjong table was filled withughter. The four women were ying mahjong while chatting, having a good time. Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu, who was smiling so hard that her eyes were almost slits, and felt a little helpless. Wasnt it just a wild card game? Why did it feel like he had won a billion-dor lottery?
The atmosphere gradually eased up. Ling Xi leaned closer to Lu Jingzhi and whispered, Third brother, let me ask you something. What is it? Are you sneaking around? Lu Jingzhi nced at Ling Xi. Usually, when he was free, he would always call him a mistress. Only when he needed his help would he address him as Third Brother seriously and even use the word please at the end. Ling Xi coughed lightly. I want to ask you, Baby Guan is so wild and like a man. How did you manage to take her down? Lu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows. Who are you calling a man? I can say that about my woman, but you dare to say that about your sister-inw? Although Lu Jingzhi did think that Baby Guan was very rude at times, most of the time, she was still quite a woman. He was not very happy to hear suchments from others. Okay, okay, okay. Sister-inw, is that okay? Can you tell me how you managed to win Sister-inw over? Ling Xi humbly asked. Lu Jingzhi snorted. Why should I tell you? Think about it yourself! Ling Xi was speechless. How could this man be so petty? He just wanted to learn humbly, but he still kept it a secret! However, Ling Xi did not know that it was not that Lu Jingzhi did not want to tell her, but that he was too embarrassed to admit that he had never taken down the treasure! Ling Xi thought that he and Baby Guan had slept together and that it was a happy ending. If others found out that he didnt get any advantage even though they slept together, how would he be able to save his face? Lu Jingzhi changed the topic to Su Chen so that Ling Xi would not pester him. You can ask Second Brother. He is very experienced. Chapter 960: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (6) Chapter 960: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (6) Su Chen leanedzily on the sofa. Without waiting for Ling Xi to ask, he asked, You think I have experience? Ling Xi was speechless. Second Brother, youre too weak. Its been so long and you still havent taken it down? Ling Xi could not help butugh. Su Chens face darkened. Im not as efficient as Big Brother. Among the four of them, only Li Yan seeded. The most cold-hearted person had to fall in love first. It really made people feel very unbnced just thinking about it. Li Yan was currently looking at Qiao Mu. When he saw her gentle expression and every frown and smile, he suddenly sensed that someone was looking at him. He turned to look at the three men beside him and raised his eyebrows. Whats wrong? Lu Jingzhi was the first to speak. He asked what he wanted to know, Eldest Brother, how did you tackle Qiao Mu back then? Did she fall in love with you after you pounced on her? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. He did not want to share his personal feelings with them, but seeing that they had yet to be together, he pitied them and said calmly,She was the one who took the initiative to pounce on me. Su Chen was speechless. Path from:
Ling Xi was speechless. These words were too shocking! This was simply infuriating. The few of them could not get what they wanted, but this man was pounced on! This was the difference, the huge difference! A scheming man would never take the initiative to pounce on a woman. Instead, he would wait for the other party to pounce on him and then righteously say that he was the one who was taken advantage of! As expected, Young Master Li did not have a high IQ for nothing. He used all his scheming skills at work on Qiao Mu! However, their IQ was not low either. Why was their EQ so much lower than Li Yans? He had called her big brother for so many years, but it was a waste. As expected, they were not rted by blood, and their emotional intelligence was not contagious. At this moment, loudughter came from the mahjong table, as if mocking the mens failure. Li Yan, on the other hand, was in a good mood. He had alsoe from such a time and felt sympathy for them. On the other side, Qiao Mu waved at Li Yan. Uncle,e over and take a look at my deck of cards. Its great! Li Yan stood up and walked over with his hands in his pockets. Before he left, he said, Do you think its that easy to get a woman? You have Sister-inw now because I put most of my energy into her and married her. So, you dont have to be anxious. Take your time. .. Li Yan came behind Qiao Mu, and Qiao Mu asked curiously, What were you guys talking about just now? A grown man has so much to talk about. Its nothing. I just showed off my love. Li Yan casually threw out words that made Qiao Mus jaw drop. Showing off their affection? How could he show off his affection when she wasnt by his side? This man was getting more and more shameless! He was actually showing off his limits, right?
The three men at the side were indeed stimted by the show. It was fine to show off their love, but dont attack them at the same time! Not long after Li Yan stood behind Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu suddenly won, and she was instantly overjoyed. The women were all disgusted. They say that youre proud in love and frustrated in gambling. What are you doing? Youre so proud!
Baby Guan said helplessly, I dont have any more money. Mu Mu, stop ying cards. When Lu Jingzhi heard Baby Guans words, he took out a wad of money from his bag and threw it in front of her. Go ahead and lose. If you lose, its on me. Lu Jingzhi thought that Baby Guan would definitely be touched by him, but she rolled her eyes at him instead. Why are you cursing me to lose money? Lu Jingzhi was speechless. That was why it was so hard to guess a womans thoughts! Chapter 961: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (7) Chapter 961: Passing on the Experience of Flirting (7) Finally, the mahjong game ended. In the end, Qiao Mu, who was proud of her love life, was also proud of her gambling den to the end. Baby Guan stomped her feet angrily. Losing like a sore thumb! Mumu really doesnt show mercy! Qiao Mu smiled. Baby, dont go back on your words. You still owe me money, so I didnt even bother with you. You didnt even touch the wad of cash that Lu Jingzhi gave you. Why? You havent even married into the Lu family yet and you already know how to save money for Lu Jingzhi? Lu Jingzhi loved hearing this. He looked at Baby Guan and said, You dont have to save money for me. I can still afford this little bit of money! Baby Guan red at him. What are you to me? Why should I save money for you? Im not a gigolo. Why would I use your money? You woman, you really dont know whats good for you! Lu Jingzhi grabbed Baby Guans wrist and dragged her away. Lets go home. Ill help you change your bad habit of calling me mother! Then, Lu Jingzhi left with Baby Guan. Then, Ling Xi walked up to Ye Nuan. Lets go. Ill send you back.
Ye Nuan nodded and said goodbye to Qiao Mu before leaving with Ling Xi. Qiao Mu looked at Chi Xia and Su Chen and waved her hand. You guys should leave too, right? Chi Xia could feel Qiao Mus gaze darting back and forth between her and Su Chen, but she ignored it helplessly. She looked at Su Chen and wanted to ask him if he should leave. When she turned around, she saw that he had already walked in front of her, held her hand, and walked out. Chi Xia froze. They werent boyfriend and girlfriend yet, so why was he holding her hand so naturally? Qiao Mu had misunderstood their rtionship to begin with, and now, she was even more confused. Chi Xia shook off Su Chens hand and moved two steps to the side, putting some distance between them. Su Chen walked forward expressionlessly. He pursed his lips, and his expression didnt look good. Just now, he had subconsciously held her hand. After holding her hand, he realized that his actions would be met with her resistance. As expected, he was shaken off in the next second. He nced at her indifferently. Everyone else has a boyfriend. I saw that you were alone, so I helped you out. Are you not grateful? So, I have to thank you? Chi Xia rolled her eyes, not appreciating his kindness at all. No need to thank me. Su Chen ignored Chi Xias attitude and replied seriously. Chi Xia was speechless. Su Chen recalled Li Yans words. Li Yan said that Qiao Mu had pounced on him on her own ord. And didnt this woman take the initiative to pounce on him? But what was the result? However, she did not have Qiao Mus awareness and did not want him to take responsibility at all. Forget it, she would be his for the next year anyway. Why would he be worried that she wouldnt be enlightened? C When Qiao Mu and Li Yan returned home, they thought of something important.
Li Yan went into the bathroom to take a shower. She searched the entire room for their wedding ring. However, there was nothing. Li Yan came out of the shower and saw her head in the closet. He asked, What are you looking for? Ring.
Hmm? Our wedding rings! Qiao Mu moved closer to Li Yan. Uncle, I want to take a look at that priceless wedding ring. No. Li Yan refused. Why? Now that youve seen it, there wont be any surprises when we get married. If you want to see it earlier, then youll have to hope to get married to me sooner. Qiao Mu was speechless. How petty! If he didnt want to see it, then so be it. He would see it sooner orter. Qiao Mu yawned and burrowed into her nket. Li Yany down beside her. Qiao Mu held Li Yans hand and sized up the silver ring on his finger. Uncle, have you noticed that when Im with you, its like this ring is on your finger. Its a little shabby? Chapter 962: Why Don’t You Die? Chapter 962: Why Dont You Die? Dont talk nonsense! Li Yan patted Qiao Mus head. You have me, so youre the richest woman in the world. How can you be poor? Qiao Mu smiled and burrowed into Li Yans embrace. Uncle, Ill work hard to make myself more perfect so that Ill be worthy of you! Silly girl, youve never been unworthy of me. Having her was the greatest gain in his life. Qiao Mu took the initiative to kiss Li Yan. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. He was about to get down to business when Qiao Mu yawned andzily said, Im so sleepy. Lets sleep. Goodnight. Li Yan was speechless. C As the end of the year approached, Qiao Mu was busy with supplementary lessons and preparing materials for her self-study as a designer in Paris. Li Yan was also very busy as he traveled back and forth between the country and abroad. The two of them did not see each other every day. When Qiao Mu was in school, Baby Guan was inseparable from her. In a good name, she wanted to be Qiao Mus bodyguard. Qiao Mu was helpless. After interrogating him, she found out that Li Yan had promised her some benefits, which was why she was willing to protect him. Li Yan had never mentioned the kidnapping incident in Paris. Qiao Mu knew that he probably did not manage to find out who kidnapped her. To be able to hide himself so well under Li Yans influence, he was indeed not a simple person.
That was why Li Yan wanted Baby Guan to keep an eye on her when he was not by her side. After all, Baby Guan came from a martial arts family. Then, the court would officially issue aint against Ning Tongtong for giarism. The first time Qiao Mu met Ning Tongtong after returning to the country was outside the court. Ning Tongtongs condition was not particrly good, but she was still extremely vicious when facing Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, do you think youve won against me? In your dreams! If you sue me in court, youre asking for humiliation! Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtong and sneered. The evidence is conclusive. I dont know, so whats there to be stubborn about? Evidence? Then Ill wait for your evidence! Ning Tongtong smiled confidently. She did not take being sued seriously at all. Soon, Qiao Mu understood why Ning Tongtong was so confident. It was because she received a call from Key, telling her to leave the court and that thewsuit had been withdrawn. Qiao Mu was stunned. Teacher Key, whats going on? she asked in confusion. There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before he said, The evidence is gone. Qiao Mu put down the phone, and Baby Guan asked, Mu Mu, whats wrong? Qiao Mu shook her head. Something happened. Lets go back. Ning Tongtong sneered. Qiao Mu, didnt you say that the evidence was conclusive? Why are you discouraged now? Sue me? You use me of giarism, use me of giarism, but you cant produce any evidence. Let everyone know that you have no evidence and ruined my reputation! Qiao Mus eyes darkened. Ning Tongtong, youre indeed very impressive. Im very curious. How did you do it? Its not that Im powerful. Its just that youve offended too many people. Youre just a bug that everyone hates. So, as long as I ask, someone will help me! Ning Tongtong said fiercely. Qiao Mu pondered for a moment. The evidence was in Keys hands, and the only person who could make the evidence disappear was the people around Key, and that person was Amy! Qiao said coldly, Ning Tongtong, do you think youre safe just because you escaped? There are some things that you will get retribution for. Sooner orter, you dont have to be so smug. Retribution? Qiao Mu, if you want retribution, its on you. Why dont you just die for someone who even despises your own mother?! As she spoke, Ning Tongtong ferociously pounced at Qiao Mu, but before she could get close, she was blocked by Baby Guan and pushed away. Chapter 963: Were You the One Who Kidnapped Me? Chapter 963: Were You the One Who Kidnapped Me? Ning Tongtong shouted in exasperation, Someone hit someone! Someone hit someone at the court entrance! Baby Guan was furious. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward to teach Ning Tongtong a lesson, but Qiao Mu pulled her away. Forget it, shes a lunatic. If we argue with her, well lower our standards. Mu Mu, if we dont teach this kind of person a lesson, shell only push her luck! If you really hit her, she will have a reason to bite us back. Lets go. Qiao Mu knew that Baby Guan was short-tempered. If she really attacked the lunatic Ning Tongtong, what would happen? Baby Guan snorted angrily. Crazy woman, if I see you acting crazy again, dont me me for being rude. I promise to drag you into the small dark room and beat you up! My strength is beating people up! Ning Tongtong looked at Baby Guan in disdain. We wont have the chance to meet again. You two will be hit by a car on the way back! Qiao Mu narrowed her cold eyes, and she saw Baby Guan beside her quickly walk up and throw a punch at Ning Tongtongs face. After all, she had practiced, so the wind from her punch was very fast. Ning Tongtong didnt have time to react and looked at the fist that was flying toward her in astonishment. However, the fist stopped when it was a centimeter away from her face. Ning Tongtong was so scared that she took a step back. Baby Guanughed. Dont be nervous. I didnt touch you. Thew doesnt say that scaring people is against thew. You! As expected, sluts can get together. I wont hold it against you! Ning Tongtong was worried that Baby Guan would really do something to her, so she quickly turned around and left. Wait a minute. Qiao Mu called out to Ning Tongtong and coldly questioned, Ning Tongtong, do you really want me dead?
Nonsense! Its good that youre dead! So, the person who kidnapped me in Paris was you, right? Qiao Mu questioned. Ning Tongtong red fiercely at Qiao Mu. Kidnapped? Qiao Mu, dont tell me youre going to charge me with kidnapping? If you have evidence, sue me directly. This is the court! Ning Tongtong fiercely red at Qiao Mu beforeughing disdainfully and swaggering away. Qiao Mu observed Ning Tongtongs reaction, and she could not see any guilt. However, she could not think of a second person who could do such a terrible thing to her, and it was someone she knew. Even if Ji Lan had a grudge against her, Ji Lan was in such dire straits that he did not have the ability to do anything to her. However, Ning Tongtong was different. Ning Tongtongs hatred for her seeped into her bones and she really wanted to curse her to die! Baby Guan was puzzled. Mu Mu, do you think Ning Tongtong would do something so crazy? I think shes quite timid. Qiao Mu shook her head. Im not sure either. If its really her, Li Yan should have found out, but there hasnt been any results. Qiao Mu did not want to think about these unhappy things, so she smiled and asked Baby Guan, You said that Li Yan gave you benefits to protect me. What benefits did he give you? A smile appeared on Baby Guans face. Im not telling you! Qiao Mu was speechless. Actually, she knew that it was definitely about Lu Jingzhi. Chapter 964: Car Accident (1) Chapter 964: Car ident (1) On the way back, Baby Guan had something to attend to and had to leave. Before she left, Baby Guan was extremely apologetic. After all, she was protecting Qiao Mu with Li Yans benefits. What if Li Yan was dissatisfied and refused to give her the benefits? Dont worry, Qiao Mu said generously. I wont tell Li Yan. Ill still give you some benefits. Upon hearing this, Baby Guan almost hugged Qiao Mu and kissed her before waving her hand and leaving. Qiao Mu took a private car back to school, and Li Yan arranged a chauffeur for her. Qiao Mu first went to Key Studio and overheard the conversation inside from outside the office. Key, are you really going to fire me? I worked hard with you for three years, and this is all I get? Amy, I gave you a chance, but you destroyed the evidence of Ning Tongtong giarizing Qiao Mus work while I was in Paris. Youre the one who didnt seize the opportunity! Keys voice was very cold,pletely different from his usual image. Amy choked up. I really dont want to help Ning Tongtong. She threatened me. If I take her to court, Ill be implicated. Key, can you give me another chance? Ive made a decision, and I wont change it. You know that. I knew it. You have no feelings at all. Dont tell me you dont know that I like you. Ive liked you for three years, but in the end, I ended up like this! Key sounded surprised. You like me?
Amy thenughed as if she was discouraged. Hahaha, Im so stupid. I thought you could feel it but didnt show it. You really didnt know! Because you dont have any feelings for me at all! Amy, I only treat you as a colleague. If I had known that you had personal feelings for me, I wouldnt have let you stay by my side. You know that what I hate the most is to mix my feelings with work. Yes, I know. Ive always known. Amyughed bitterly and turned to leave the office. The office door suddenly opened and Amy walked out with a pale face. When she saw Qiao Mu, her expression turned cold before she straightened her back and left, as if the sorry state she was in just now did not belong to her. Qiao Mu walked into the office and said apologetically, Teacher Key, I identally overheard your conversation just now. Key looked a little sad. Then I dont need to exin anymore. This was my mistake. I should have been more careful with Amy. Teacher Key, do you really have no feelings for Director Amy? Although Director Amy did something wrong, it was also because she liked you. Amy had been quietly by Keys side for a few years, and this rtionship was not easy. Key was unmoved. Liking someone is not an excuse to hurt them. Qiao Mu did not say anything else when she saw how rational Key was. Since the evidence had been destroyed, and Key had shown mercy to Amy and did not pursue the matter, he could only let Ning Tongtong be arrogant for the time being. Qiao Mu left the Key studio and sat in the car back to school. Li Yan had arranged a driver for her. In the car, Qiao Mu held her phone and called Li Yan. The call had just connected when the car suddenly shook. Qiao Mu heard a loud bang and felt herself flying out of the car Chapter 965: Car Accident (2) Chapter 965: Car ident (2) Qiao Mu looked out the window in a panic and saw a small truck ramming into her car. A mans maic voice came from the other end of the phone. Before she could hear what the man said clearly, the phone in her hand had already flown out. In the next second, it spun around in an instant. The truck crashed into the front of Qiao Mus car. Fortunately, the driver reacted quickly and turned the steering wheel to the side, avoiding a fatal blow. Qiao Mus mind went nk from the panic, and her head mmed heavily into the seat. She thought to herself,Am I going to die? If she died just like that, the heavens would be too unfair to her. She had just gotten a man who loved her and hadnt had the chance to enjoy this love. How could she die like this? She could not die! She also wanted to be a famous designer and be Li Yans wife openly. She wanted to give birth to Li Yans children and live happily ever after. She still had a long life ahead of her. She did not want to end her life so hastily! She had not seen Li Yan for a few days. She really wanted to see him!
A mans anxious voice could faintly be heard from the phone that was still on the line, pulling Qiao Mu back to reality. She felt a liquid trickle down her face from her forehead. Her hand followed the sound of the phone and fumbled around. Finally, she grabbed the phone in the shaking car. At this moment, Qiao Mu realized that he had never confessed to Li Yan before. If he died just like that, she would not be able to ept it! She put the phone to her ear and heard the mans anxious voice. Mu Mu, say something. Answer me! What happened? Qiao Mus consciousness gradually faded, and she spoke into the phone in a daze, Li Yan, I love you. At this moment, in the meeting room on the top floor of the Li Corporation, Li Yan stood up uncontrobly. His brows were tightly knitted, and his tone was a little flustered. The sound of the car mming on the brakes and crashing into each other made his heart clench. Ignoring the fact that everyone was staring at him, he said in a low and nervous voice, Mu Mu, dont scare me! His woman had told him in a weak voice that she loved him, causing his rationality topletely disappear. The people present were all directors of thepany, including Li Zheng. This was the first time Li Zheng had seen his son lose hisposure. Immediately after, Li Yan turned around and left. Li Zheng followed him and asked,What happened? Li Yan did not wait for a response from the person on the other end of the line. He lowered his head to look at the location of his phone and said in a deep voice, Dad, please contact the Ministry of Transportation and seal off all the passages near 27 Jingdong Road. No cars are allowed to enter and exit as they please! Li Zheng was stunned. This was the first time his son had used the word trouble to him. He nodded and took out his phone to call the director of the Transportation Bureau. If something really happened to his daughter-inw, his family would probably not be at peace! Li Yan then instructed Lei Yi,Go and investigate the surveince cameras on this road section and investigate the people nearby, especially those Qiao Mu knows. He still underestimated the person who wanted to harm Qiao Mu. He clearly knew that person would not give up, but he still did not protect her well! If something really happened to her, he would hate her to death! No! Nothing would happen to her! Definitely not! When Li Yan got into the car, he received a call from Qiao Mus driver. Young Master Li, Miss Qiao is already on her way to the hospital
Chapter 966: Car Accident (3) Chapter 966: Car ident (3) Li Yans eyes darkened. Before the driver could finish, he questioned coldly,How is she? The driver quickly said, There was a car ident just now. A truck crashed into our car. Miss Qiaos injuries arent serious. Shes temporarily unconscious. Li Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He sped up and rushed straight to the hospital. Li Yan sped all the way and ran a few red lights. When he arrived at the hospital, Qiao Mu had already finished her checkup and was lying on the hospital bed. Qiao Mus forehead was bandaged, and he could see the blood-stained bandages that had been reced in the trash can at the side, deeply hurting his eyes. Li Yans heart ached as he looked at the pale woman. Li Yans face was dark and bloodthirsty. The doctor at the side said carefully,Mr. Li, Miss Qiaos head was hit and there are signs of a slight concussion. Shes only temporarily unconscious, its not serious. Is the concussion not serious? Li Yans face darkened. Then tell me, what is considered serious? The doctor felt a lot of pressure. In medical terms, a concussion did not have much of an effect. He would be fine after a short rest.
At this moment, Li Yans phone rang. Lei Yis voice sounded from the phone. President, the scene has been cordoned off. From the surveince footage, the truck obviously crashed into Miss Qiaos car on purpose. It was the same man in ck who kidnapped Miss Qiao in Paris. After that, he disappeared into the crowd. In the cordoned off area, Ning Tongtong and Shu Xinyu were found. Li Yans eyes darkened. After a while, he said, Theres no need to rm them. Check their whereabouts. Alright. Lei Yi replied. C In the cafe, Shu Xinyu saw Ning Tongtong enter and smiled. Tongtong, youre finally here. Ive been waiting for you for quite a while. Ning Tongtong sat down and said unhappily, Mom, when I came here just now, there was a car ident outside. There was a group of police officers. It was a mess and they blocked the road. Car idents aremon. You have to be careful when you drive in the future. Shu Xinyu reminded. I know. Ning Tongtong replied. After ordering some food, she took out her phone and went online. At this moment, a live report sounded on the TV in the cafe. ording to aizen, there was a car ident on the Jingdong Road. The truck suddenly went against the traffic and crashed into a private car. Aizen took a video of it In the video, a woman was lifted out of the car. The womans face was stained with blood, and her hair was a little messy, covering half of her face. Tongtong, why do you think this woman looks like Qiao Mu? Shu Xinyu asked. Ning Tongtong stared intently at the video and said with certainty, Shes Qiao Mu! Mom, the heavens have eyes. She got her retribution so quickly! At this moment, the video reported that the womans life was not in danger. Ning Tongtongs expression changed drastically. This scourge, why didnt the heavens take her away? Why didnt she die! In front of Shu Xinyu, Ning Tongtong no longer concealed her hatred for Qiao Mu, because Shu Xinyu also hated Qiao Mu. Tongtong, calm down. Ning Tongtong clenched her fists tightly. Mom, it would be great if she died. I really dont want to see her. Why does she always get away with it? Shu Xinyu lowered her head, her voice a little cold. The heavens will take her away sooner orter. Evil will be rewarded. Dont be anxious. Yes, I think so too! Ning Tongtong smiled sinisterly. Even if she didnt die, it wouldnt hurt her to be seriously injured!
Chapter 967: Car Accident (4) Chapter 967: Car ident (4) In the hospital, Qiao Mu woke up groggily and saw the man sitting by the bed. Panicking, she sat up abruptly and hugged Li Yan. Uncle, I thought I would never see you again. Li Yans eyes darkened as he gently stroked Qiao Mus head. Be good, its alright now. Its alright now. Have a good rest. Qiao Mu felt a slight headache and reached out to touch her forehead, but Li Yan stopped her. Your forehead is injured. You cant touch it. Qiao Mu pouted and asked pitifully, Will it leave a scar? No, you wont be able to see it after you recover. Qiao Mu was still worried and bit her lip. If I leave a scar, youll despise me. Silly girl, even if youre disfigured, I wont despise you. These words deeply provoked Qiao Mu. Initially, Li Yan had good intentions and wanted to reassure her, but he saw the little womans eyes start to tear up. She touched her face and stared at him in panic. Show me a mirror. Am I really disfigured?
Li Yan sighed helplessly. Did she know that she was so worried and med herself? Li Yan had no choice but to turn on the camera on his phone. Qiao Mu took a picture and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she chuckled and said, Uncle, Im sorry for making you worry. I seem to have bad luck recently. Strange, its not my natal year. Why do I have to go to the hospital every day? Li Yans eyes darkened. His heart ached when he saw her forcing a smile so that he would not worry. He hugged her gently. I should be the one apologizing. Ive hurt you time and time again. Dont worry about me. It was just an ident. Isnt everything fine now? Qiao Mus tone was rxed. After she finished speaking, she noticed that Li Yans expression had turned grave, which made her feel strange. Wasnt it an ident? she asked uncertainly. Li Yan patted her head. Dont think about it. Have a good rest. Qiao Mu had already confirmed that it was indeed not an ident. Who was it that wanted her dead? If he failed the first time, he would have to try a second time? She thought about how Ning Tongtong had cursed her so fiercely that she would get into a car ident on the way back. Indeed, it was true. Could this all be a coincidence? Qiao Mu felt dizzy and a little painful. She did not want Li Yan to worry, so she did not ask anything andy down to rest. News of the car ident had already spread on the Inte. Ever since Qiao Mu had participated in Paris Fashion Week, she was also a slightly famous designer. There were all sorts of concernedments on the Inte about the ident. At the same time, someone noticed that Qiao Mu was in a luxury car, and they immediately started gossiping about Qiao Mus identity. At this moment, Ning Tongtong took the opportunity to hire a troll army to nder Qiao Mu, saying that Qiao Mu was a kept mistress and had a backer, which was why she entered Paris Fashion Week. A group of Inte trolls imed that Qiao Mu had an ambiguous rtionship with Key, while another group ofments imed that Qiao Mu was being kept by a married man. In an instant, Qiao Mus image plummeted, andizens began to suspect her. At this time, Qiao Jiannan stepped forward to prove that Qiao Mu was the daughter of the Qiao family and owned shares of the Qiao Corporation. It was normal for her to drive a luxury car.
Then, theizens said that Qiao Mu kept a low profile and that the daughter of a wealthy family was not ostentatious. They shouted slogans for the police to find the driver of the ident. Ning Tongtong looked at thements that went along with the wind and was instantly enraged. This Qiao Mu was really lucky. Even with this, she still couldnt let her notoriety spread far and wide! He couldnt die in a car ident, but in exchange, he gained attention. It was really infuriating!
Chapter 968: Car Accident (5) Chapter 968: Car ident (5) Qiao Mu rested in the hospital for two days. After a checkup, she was discharged. Li Yan did not allow anyone to visit her for her peace and quiet. When Qiao Mu was discharged from the hospital, Baby Guan, who was waiting outside the door, rushed over and hugged her. She said guiltily, Mu Mu, its all my fault. Young Master Li asked me to protect you, but I wasnt by your side at the critical moment. Its all my fault! Qiao Mu was helpless. Dont me yourself. Its a good thing you werent around, or we would both have been injured. If I was here, I could protect you and you wouldnt have been injured! Baby Guan acted like a tough girl. When Lu Jingzhi heard this, he was a little unhappy. Do you think youre Superman? Dont try to be brave! Baby Guan red at Lu Jingzhi. Qiao Mu smiled and said, Young Master Lu is right. Li Yan will get someone else to protect me. You wont be able to take on this job. Dont let Lu Jingzhi worry about you. Hes worried about me? How can I tell that hes worried about me? No, I have to protect you. Ive already promised Young Master Li. Baby Guan insisted. Ill get Li Yan to give you the benefits you want, okay? When Baby Guan heard this, she was unhappy. This isnt about benefits. I always keep my promise. Until the person who harmed you is caught, I will be your bodyguard.
Qiao Mu felt helpless and looked at Lu Jingzhi apologetically. Lu Jingzhi said lightly, If she insists, then let her apany you. Anyway, Eldest Brother has sent someone to protect you. Protecting you alone is protection, protecting two people is also protection. Qiao Mu was speechless. Lu Jingzhi was really ambitious. Baby Guan snorted. Her eyes seemed to be saying, See, Lu Jingzhi doesnt care about me at all! When Qiao Mu returned home, Yu Yiduo served Qiao Mu well. Yu Yiduo used the excuse of taking care of Qiao Mu to move back to the Li family vi. She treated Qiao Mu like a pregnant woman and did not allow Qiao Mu to get out of bed. She would give Qiao Mu clothes and food as she pleased. After staying at home for three days, Qiao Mu felt like she had gained a few pounds of weight. Qiao Mu had nothing to do, but Li Yan was extremely busy. At night, Qiao Muy on the bed and touched the empty space beside her before getting up and walking to the study. In the study, Li Yan received a call from Ling Xi. Big Brother, theres some progress. The people I sent to follow Ning Tongtong found that Ning Tongtong touched a bag of trash. Inside was the ck outfit that harmed Sister-inw. ording to Lei Yis report, Ning Tongtong happened to be at the scene of sister-inws ident that day. Her car was parked in a nearby parking lot and she walked to the scene of the ident. Li Yans eyes turned cold. Hand over the evidence to the police and let them handle it. I dont want to see Ning Tongtonge out of the police station! Qiao Mu was about to knock on the door when she heard Li Yans words. She was slightly stunned. Evidence? Ning Tongtong? Li Yan heard faint footsteps outside the door. He hung up the phone and walked to the door. He opened the door and saw the little woman standing outside. He walked over and pulled her into his arms. He asked softly, Why arent you sleeping yet? I was waiting for you. Qiao Mu leaned against his chest. I heard you mention Ning Tongtong just now. Have you investigated the matter? Are you sure she did it? Li Yans eyes shed with a cold light as he replied with a Mm. He would rather kill ten thousand innocent people than let a single one of them go! Moreover, he had long nned to make a move on Ning Tongtong. It was just that she had always hoped that he would not interfere in her matters. However, now that things hade to this, it was impossible for him not to interfere! It would only make those who wanted to hurt her push their luck!
Chapter 969: Ning Tongtong Arrested Chapter 969: Ning Tongtong Arrested That night, Qiao Mu had a nightmare. She dreamed that the man in ck was strangling her neck and ring at her fiercely. She was suffocated and wanted to call for help, but she couldnt make a sound. Mumu, Im here. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. In her sleep, a familiar scent surrounded her, calming her flustered heart bit by bit. Li Yan looked at the woman in his arms and his face darkened. After coaxing her to sleep, he got up and went to the balcony. He took out his phone and dialed Lei Yis number. Cut off all cooperation with Ning Corporation and cancel all cooperation with Shu Xinyu Company! Ning Tongtongs debt, he wanted the Ning Family to repay it a thousand times over! Touching his woman, Ning Tongtong was courting death! C
Early in the morning, the Ning family of four was having breakfast. Ning Tongtong looked at Ning Jian. Brother, Ive been bullied by others recently. Can you help me? Do you think youve caused too little trouble? Ning Jian asked. What kind of reputation do you have now? Stay at home and dont do anything! Are you really my brother? Ning Tongtong looked at Ning Yue. Dad, look at my brother. My family doesnt care about me at this time. How am I going to live in the future? Shu Xinyu said, Thats right. Ah Jian, your sister is a little willful. Shes being bullied outside. If we dont care about her, who else can she rely on? Aunt Shu, youre spoiling her too much. Its not good for her. Ning Yue sighed. Thats enough. Ah Jian is right. Xinyu, you cant spoil Tongtong like this. She has disgraced the Ning family. Let her reflect on herself at home during this period of time! Daddy! Ning Tongtong let out a low growl and stood up angrily. None of you care about me. Ill just die! You! At this moment, the doorbell rang. The maid opened the door and three police officers walked in. They looked at Ning Tongtong and said, Ning Tongtong, you are suspected of attempted murder. We are going to arrest you and bring you to the police station for questioning. Ning Tongtongs face turned pale. What did you say? Shu Xinyu stood up and shielded Ning Tongtong behind her. Officer, are you guys mistaken? This is the arrest warrant. Take a look. Ning Tongtong,e with us. The police officer handed the arrest warrant to Shu Xinyu. Shu Xinyus expression turned ugly as she handed the arrest warrant to Ning Yue. Hubby, what do you think is going on? Ning Yue pulled a long face. Who allowed you to trespass into our house? You want to arrest my daughter with just a warrant? Ill call your bureau chief now! Ning Yue took out his phone and made a call. The call went through and he smiled.Chief Su, this is Ning Yue. There are three police officersing to our house to take my daughter away. What do you think is going on? The voice on the other end of the phone sounded, I know about this. The daughter of the Ning family is indeed suspected of attempted murder. Even if youe to me, I cant solve it. The smile on Ning Yues face froze. Su Hui was the chief of the police station. How could he not solve it?
Chief Su, I can guarantee that she wont do such a thing! Well only know if shell do it after the investigation. CEO Ning, the person your daughter has offended is not someone you can afford to offend. If you want to me someone, me her for offending someone she shouldnt have. I cant help you. A cold voice came from the other side of the phone, and then the call was hung up. Ning Yue frowned and Ning Tongtong rushed over. Dad, hurry up and chase them away. They brought them to our house. They think were easy to mess with! [Restore and update]
Chapter 970: Qiao Mu, You Framed Me! Chapter 970: Qiao Mu, You Framed Me! Ning Yue red at Ning Tongtong. Look at the trouble youve caused. Tell me honestly, what did you do? Ning Tongtong didnt expect Ning Yue to get angry. She was stunned. Dad, I didnt do anything. Ning Jian frowned. Dad, what happened? What did Chief Su say? Chief Su, you have to do business! Ning Yue said angrily, If she didnt cause trouble, how could it be so serious?! Ning Tongtongs eyes widened. Dad, are you going to let them take me away? Dad, I was framed. Please help me! The police walked towards Ning Tongtong with handcuffs in hand. Come with us. Youvemitted such a serious crime. Its not something that can be solved just because your family background is powerful. I didntmit a crime, I didnt! Ning Tongtong shouted excitedly. Tongtong, you really didnt do it? Ning Jian asked. No! Brother, even you dont believe me? Ning Tongtong almost lost control. Since you didnt do it, no one can use you of anything. You can leave with the police first. Ill get you awyer. Dont worry. Ning Jianforted.
Ning Tongtong grabbed Ning Jians hand. Brother, you have to get me out! The police left with Ning Tongtong. Ning Yue frowned and looked worried. Who did Tongtong offend? How did she get into such a big mess? Dad, Ill go and find out what happened. Ning Jian said. Ning Yue nodded. Seeing Shu Xinyus solemn expression, heforted her softly, Xinyu, its okay. Tongtong will be fine. Shu Xinyu was stunned and did not react. Ning Yue called out again, Xinyu? Shu Xinyu snapped back to her senses, and her expression was not too good. I know who the person behind this is. Its Li Yan. How did Tongtong offend him! Ning Yues expression turned ugly. At this moment, Ning Jians phone rang. He picked up the call and listened to what was said on the phone. Then, he said to Ning Yue, Dad, something happened at thepany! Li Corporation has blocked all of ourpanys transactions. At this moment, Shu Xinyu also received a call. The Li Group wanted to cancel the cooperation with herpany. It seems like Li Yan has the intention to mess with us! Shu Xinyus face turned ashen. She never expected that Li Yan would go to such lengths for Qiao Mu! She originally thought that Li Yan had long lost interest in Qiao Mu, but now, he actually made a move on the Ning Family! C In the police station, Ning Tongtong was locked up in the interrogation room. After a while, the door to the interrogation room opened, and Ning Tongtong stood up immediately. She thought that her family had sent someone to pick her up, but what she saw was Qiao Mu! Qiao Mu, you actually framed me! Ning Tongtong rushed over but was stopped by the police officers on guard. Qiao Mu looked coldly at Ning Tongtong. Framed? Youve tried to take my life time and time again and almost caused my death. Are you even qualified to say that you framed me? Qiao Mu, dont think that Ill take the bait just because youre trying to trick me. I didnt harm you, so dont even think about framing me! Ning Tongtong was exasperated. You know very well who the person who kidnapped me in Paris and hit me with a truck is. Ning Tongtong, I came to see you today to tell you that I will return everything you have done to me! Fine, I dont believe that the police can use me of something I didnt do. Theres no evidence. You want to use me? Dream on!
Qiao Mus eyes darkened. When she saw Ning Tongtong refusing to admit it, she approached Ning Tongtong in a vengeful manner and said in a voice that the two of them could hear, Im not delusional. You can experience it for yourself. You should know Li Yans power. Even if you dont admit it, it doesnt matter. Chapter 971: You Will Get Your Karma Chapter 971: You Will Get Your Karma Ning Tongtong widened her eyes in shock. Qiao Mu, you really wanted to frame me! Youll get your retribution, you vicious woman. So it was all nned by you! Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtongs expression. If Ning Tongtong was faking it, then she was too good at it. It was as if she really didnt do it. Ning Tongtongs vicious voice rang out again, Qiao Mu, its no wonder your biological mother didnt want you. If she knew that her daughter was so treacherous, she would definitely be d that she lost you! Qiao Mu sneered. I dont care what she thinks of me. Im just curious. If she finds out that your kind daughter is capable of doing all sorts of evil things, I wonder if your mother-daughter rtionship will still be maintained? Ning Tongtongs expression changed. Do you think my mother will believe you? Just you wait, my mother will pick me up soon! Then Ill wait. Qiao Mu turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she smiled at Ning Tongtong. Do you think you cane and go as you please at the police station? Dont be naive. Ning Tongtongs expression turned ugly as she roared hysterically,Get lost, get lost! I dont want to see you! Qiao Mu walked out of the interrogation room. Li Yan was waiting for her outside, and when he saw hering out, he went forward to hold her hand. Are you done interrogating? Qiao Mu nodded. Yes, lets go. Alright.
Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand as they walked out. Qiao Mu recalled Ning Tongtongs words and asked, Uncle, is there any conclusive evidence of what Ning Tongtong did? Whats wrong? Did she say something? She said that I framed her. She didnt look like she was faking it. You believe whatever she says? If she could admit it so honestly, she wouldnt have been hiding from what happened before. Qiao Mu thought about it and realized that it made sense. She actually believed Ning Tongtongs words at this time! Other than Ning Tongtong, who else could have done such a vicious thing to her? C Not long after Qiao Mu left the police station, Shu Xinyu came to visit Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong cried as she grabbed Shu Xinyus hand. Mom, save me. Qiao Mu used Li Yans power to harm me. I really didnt do anything. You have to believe me. Shu Xinyu furrowed her brows in heartache. I believe you. Your father and brother are already thinking of a way. They wont let her have her way. Its useless. Our family cant beat Li Yan at all. He even bribed the entire police station. Qiao Mu is bent on convicting me! Ning Tongtong cried. Mom, the only way to save me now is to make a move on Qiao Mu. Youre an elder, so can you help me beg Qiao Mu? She will definitely listen to you. She wants to harm you. Why would she listen to me? Yes, this is the only chance. Mom, please help me. Ning Tongtong knew that Shu Xinyu was Qiao Mus biological mother. At this moment, she could only ce her hopes on Shu Xinyu. Shu Xinyu thought about it and nodded. Alright, Ill go and try. C Qiao Mu received Shu Xinyus call the next afternoon. Qiao Mus school was already on vacation. She was in the library collecting some information on fashion design when Shu Xinyu called. Shu Xinyu said that she wanted to meet her. Qiao Mu decisively refused. Every time Shu Xinyu wanted to meet her, nothing good would happen.
Qiao Mu no longer held any hope for Shu Xinyu. Since that was the case, she would not meet him if she could. This was good for everyone. Chapter 972: Youre Not Worthy of Being a Mother Chapter 972: Youre Not Worthy of Being a Mother However, Shu Xinyus tone gradually softened. Qiao Mu, as Ning Tongtongs mother, please find some time to meet me. I hope you can understand my feelings as a mother. Qiao Mus grip on the phone tightened. She actually said that she was understanding her feelings as a mother? Qiao Mu truly found itughable. She was still unwilling to give up, and she didnt know what hope she was still harboring. In the end, she still agreed to meet Shu Xinyu. In the dining room, Qiao Mu looked at Shu Xinyu. At this moment, Shu Xinyu was not as arrogant as she usually was. She thought that this woman would always be high and mighty and treat her as an enemy. It turned out that she would also appear so lonely. Was it because of Ning Tongtong? For Ning Tongtongs sake, she did not hesitate to lower herself to look for her. Qiao Mu clenched her fists and said coldly, Madam Shu, if you have something to say, just say it. Qiao Mu, please let Tongtong off. Shu Xinyu said in a low voice. Qiao Mu felt like she was hallucinating. She was actually begging her! Didnt this woman teach her a lesson in a high-profile manner? He even looked down on her? Madam Shu, dont you think its ridiculous? Qiao Mu sneered after taking a deep breath. Ning Tongtong has harmed me time and time again. Why should I let her off? Why?
I believe that she didnt do it. Tongtong wouldnt be so vicious. Qiao Mu, I really hope that you can let her off this time. I know that my attitude toward you wasnt good before, so I hope you can understand how I feel as a mother. You want me to understand you? Who will understand me? Qiao Mu felt that her breathing was a little ufortable. She tucked the stray hair on her forehead behind her ear and pointed at the mark on her forehead that had yet to disappear. This is the scar left behind by my car ident. I was lucky and only managed to leave a scar. Because of Ning Tongtong, I almost died. Do you think Im that generous to not hold it against her? If your daughter was injured today, would you let go of the person who hurt her so easily? My daughter isnt the one whos injured. Shes currently being held in the police station! Shu Xinyu was a little agitated. Qiao Mu, Ive already begged you like this, but youre still unwilling to be magnanimous? It wasnt my daughter who was hurt Qiao Muughed. Madam Shu, Ive never seen someone as selfish as you. For Ning Tongtong, you dont care about the lives of others, even if she almost killed someone! She didnt kill anyone. Do you have evidence to prove that she did those things? If she didnt do it, could it be you? Qiao Mu retorted. You! Shu Xinyus expression was ugly. Qiao Mu, what do I have to do to make you let Tongtong off? Do you want me to kneel before you? If possible, I can promise you anything as long as you say the word. Qiao Mus heart gradually turned cold. She once again witnessed how great Shu Xinyus motherly love for Ning Tongtong was. It was trulyughable. Qiao Mu finally knew that she hadpletely lost. She had lost to Ning Tongtong and Shu Xinyus selfishness! No wonder Ning Tongtong was so confident. She knew that Shu Xinyu would definitely help her! At this moment, Shu Xinyu stood up and walked to the dining table. Qiao Mu, can I kneel down and beg you? Enough! Qiao Mu shouted angrily, Shu Xinyu, dont put on a show of mother-daughter rtionship here. Youre not worthy of being a mother at all! Shu Xinyus eyes burned with anger, but she suppressed her anger. For Ning Tongtong, she could endure it. Chapter 973: She Was Worthless to Shu Xinyu Chapter 973: She Was Worthless to Shu Xinyu Qiao Mu stood up. I can let Ning Tongtong off, but this is thest time. If she does anything to me again, I wont show any mercy even if you really kneel! This time, he would treat it as cutting off all ties with her. In the future, he would not have any extravagant hopes. This woman had always treated Ning Tongtong as her biological daughter. She did not take her abandoned biological daughter seriously at all. In her heart, there was only Ning Tongtong! It was time to give up. Hadnt she suffered enough blows? Time and time again, she was really tired. When Shu Xinyu said that she abandoned the child because the child was in the wrong, she should havepletely understood that she was worthless to Shu Xinyu. Qiao Mu didnt want to stay any longer, so she turned around and left. He had only taken a few steps when Shu Xinyus voice sounded from behind him.Qiao Mu, I promise that Tongtong wont do anything to you in the future. Qiao Mu left the restaurant and walked along the pedestrian street. Her heart was in pain, but she soon felt relieved. She should have expected such a situation. There was nothing to be sad about.
She had never held any hope for her mothers identity. Letting Ning Tongtong go was to repay Shu Xinyu for giving birth to her. In the future, they really didnt owe each other anything. At this moment, her phone rang. It was Yu Yiduo. Qiao Mu picked up the phone and heard Yu Yiduo rambling on, Mu Mu, what time are youing home today? I made some soup for you. Oh, no, I asked the chef to make it. You havent recovered from your injuries yet, so you have to rest more. Come back early, dont tire yourself out and leave behind seque. Qiao Mus nose turned sour, and she said softly, Ill be back in a while. Alright then. Ill be waiting for you at home to drink the hot soup. Yu Yiduo hung up after she finished speaking. Qiao Mu put away her phone and turned around to see the car that Li Yan had assigned to her following behind her. Fortunately, the driver was good at driving, which allowed her to escape the disaster. It was said that he was Li Yans subordinate and also her bodyguard. At this moment, the driver in the car was calling Li Yan to report Qiao Mus situation. He then hung up before Qiao Mu got into the car. Lets go back to the Li family, Qiao Mu said indifferently as she got into the car. The driver nodded and drove silently. When Qiao Mu returned to the Li residence, Yu Yiduo rushed over anxiously the moment she entered. Mu Mu, you came back just in time. The soup has just been served. Hurry up and drink it while its still hot. As he spoke, he pulled Qiao Mu to the dining room. The servant served the ck-bone chicken soup, and Yu Yiduo pressed Qiao Mu down on the chair and passed the chicken soup to her. Qiao Mu didnt know what to feel when she saw the steaming ck chicken soup. Yu Yiduo had been making soup for her almost every day these past few days. ck chicken soup was helpful for healing wounds. She evenined to Li Yan that she was sick of drinking soup every day. It was as if she was in confinement. Li Yan smiled and asked her to tell Yu Yiduo directly. If she did not refuse, Yu Yiduo would definitely continue to help her recuperate. However, how could she reject him? How could she reject such warm care? Qiao Mu lowered her head and drank the soup, her eyes gradually bing moist. Who said she couldnt get motherly love? Didnt she have such a loving mother?
Yu Yiduo panicked when she saw Qiao Mu drinking the soup with tears in her eyes. Mu Mu, if you dont like soup, just tell Mommy. Dont cry! [Theres an updateter in the night.] Chapter 974: She Had Her Mothers Love Chapter 974: She Had Her Mothers Love Qiao Mu finished the chicken soup in one gulp and sniffed. I like it. Mom, can you get me another bowl? Yu Yiduo looked at Qiao Mu but did not take the bowl. Instead, she patted Qiao Mus head with heartache. Mu Mu, you dont have to suffer so much just to cater to my preferences. Im not an evil granny. If youre trying to reason with me, Ill listen to your opinion. Hearing Yu Yiduos words, Qiao Mu only felt the emotions in her heart churn even more. The tears that were originally just swirling in her eyes could not bear it anymore and fell down. Some people despised her, some people did not care about her, and at the same time, there were also people who cared about her. They would feel sorry for her because of her emotions and words. She did not only have Li Yan, who loved her dearly. She also had Yu Yiduo. Although she was not her biological mother, she was more like her biological mother. What was there to be sad about? Qiao Mu sniffled and cried more and more fiercely, which made Yu Yiduo extremely anxious. She was really confused. How did her daughter-inw be so fragile? A bowl of chicken soup made her cry? Yu Yiduo panicked and went forward to pat Qiao Mus back tofort her. Alright, alright, stop crying. I wont force you to drink chicken soup anymore. Qiao Mu was speechless. Actually, she really wanted to drink it.
Instead, Qiao Mu could not say a word at this moment, and her tears were flowing furiously. When she cried, there would be a mother tofort her, although this mother was a little funny. Listening to Yu Yiduo clumsilyforting him and saying dont cry, dont cry in a panic, as if she was coaxing a child, it was a little funny. Li Yan must have never worried her since she was young, so she did not know how to coax him, right? Seeing that Qiao Mu was still not getting better, Yu Yiduo didnt know what to do. Mumu, dont cry anymore. If Li Yan finds out that I made you cry, hell definitely fall out with me! Just as Yu Yiduo finished her sentence, there was a series of noises at the door. Then, the servant opened the door and Li Yan walked in. Speaking of the devil, Li Yan had actually returned at this time! It was as if his gaze knew that his wife had been bullied and was crying. It fell from the sky! Yu Yiduo let go of Qiao Mu and quickly denied it to Li Yan. I didnt make Mumu cry. It really wasnt me. I didnt bully her! Li Yans eyes darkened as he looked at the woman who was crying her eyes out. He had received a call from the driver that she had met Shu Xinyu. She was in a very low mood, so he had rushed back immediately. However, he did not expect this little woman to cry so fiercely in her mother-inws arms. Although this little woman loved to cry sometimes, she only cried in front of him to make his heart ache. In front of others, she was still quite strong. Whats wrong? he asked in a low voice. Qiao Mu wiped her tears and instantly felt embarrassed. She mumbled, Mom made chicken soup for me. I was so touched, soShe shed a few tears. Yu Yiduo was speechless. These werent tears! However, as expected of her good daughter-inw, she didntin even when she cried. Yu Yiduo was instantly touched. She pounced forward and hugged Mu Mu, acting along. Qiao Mus lips twitched. Yu Yiduos ruckus instantly made her tears fall back.
She wanted to say that she was really moved to tears, not because she was forced to drink chicken soup! Yu Yiduo quickly retreated, leaving Qiao Mu and Li Yan behind. Chapter 975: Need Spiritual Compensation Chapter 975: Need Spiritual Compensation Qiao Mus eyes were slightly red. When she saw Li Yan looking at her with a dark gaze, she walked over and hugged his waist. Why are you back so early? If I didnte back so early, would I have been able to see you crying? Li Yan looked at her. Qiao Mu knew that he wouldnte back at such a coincidence. It was not time to get off work yet, and she had just returned home for a while, yet he had already followed her back. It was obvious that the driver had reported the situation to him. She snuggled into his embrace. You knew about it? Li Yan did not deny it. He touched her and said, What did she tell you? Its nothing. Qiao Mu shook her head nonchntly. It didnt matter what she said anymore. She thought about it and said, Uncle, let Ning Tongtong off this time. The reason? Li Yans expression gradually turned cold. Is it Shu Xinyu Qiao Mu shook her head. She did look for me to plead on behalf of Ning Tongtong, but I was the one who made the decision. She gave me life, so Ill let Ning Tongtong off as repayment. We wont owe each other anything in the future. She looked up at him. This time, can you listen to me? Li Yan sighed. Do you know that giving your enemy a way out is the same as being cruel to yourself?
No, I know you will protect me! Qiao Mu coquettishly wrapped her arms around his neck. Ill give her a life. From now on, my life is yours. You can do whatever you want with it, alright? Li Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled. Thats a good idea. Tell me, how should I deal with you? Why dont you marry me? Youve already promised me a long time ago. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Then punish me by scooping a bowl of chicken soup for you. Mommy made this for me. As she spoke, Qiao Mu slipped into the kitchen without giving Li Yan a chance to react. As he watched Qiao Mus back view, the smile on Li Yans face slowly disappeared. A cold glint shed across his eyes as he took his phone to the balcony to make a call. The call went through and he said coldly, Ask Chief Su to release Ning Tongtong. On the other end of the phone, Ling Xi was stunned. Brother, Ning Tongtong is about to be convicted. Why did you let her go? Sister-inws suffering is over just like that? Just like that? She was delusional! Spare Ning Tongtong and let Shu Xinyuspany go bankrupt! Didnt Shu Xinyu like to stand up for Ning Tongtong? Then he would let her have a taste of pain! He had promised to spare Ning Tongtong, but that didnt mean he could let it go! Previously, he was concerned about Shu Xinyus identity, but in the end, he realized that that woman would only bring pain to Qiao Mu! No matter who hurt his woman, he would make them pay the price! When Qiao Mu came out of the kitchen, she saw the figure standing on the balcony. He looked so cold that there was ayer of frost around him. She walked over and hugged him from behind. Did my decision make you unhappy? Li Yan put away his phone and turned around to hug her. Ive already asked the police station to let Ning Tongtong go. You know that Ill grant all your requests, but there wont be a next time. Ill get someone to keep an eye on Ning Tongtong. If theres a next time, regardless of whether its in my eyes or not, Ill make her pay for everything! Qiao Mu nodded. If it happens again, I wont let it go just like that. Seeing that the mans expression had eased up, Qiao Mu tugged at him. Alright, lets have chicken soup. I do need chicken soup, but its not for drinking. Itspensation for my soul. Li Yan said calmly.
Spiritualpensation Even though his words were serious, Qiao Mu still understood the meaning behind them. She blushed and mumbled softly, Ill give it to you tonight. Alright, deal!
Chapter 976: Years of Hard Work Ruined Chapter 976: Years of Hard Work Ruined When Ning Tongtong returned to the Ning residence, she cried in Shu Xinyus arms for quite a while, swearing that she would make Qiao Mu pay the price. Shu Xinyu advised, Tongtong, forget it. Dont provoke Qiao Mu again in the future. She has Li Yan as her backer. You cant win against her. No! I spent two nights in the police station. She was the one who gave me such painful memories. What does kidnapping and car ident have to do with me? She clearly framed me on purpose! Ning Tongtongs tone was agitated. I really dont know if this was all her own doing or if someone really wanted to harm her. That person who harmed her is really useless. He actually failed time and time again! Shu Xinyus eyes shed, and she said in a low voice, Tongtong, dont be so agitated. Well talk about thister. Rest well now. Mom, arent you angry? I was framed by her and locked up in the police station. Why dont you want to help me get justice! Did she say something to you to make you side with him? Ning Tongtongs emotions were somewhat out of control. She was worried that Shu Xinyu would develop other feelings for Qiao Mu after she found out about Qiao Mus identity! Qiao Mu, dont even think about snatching it from her! Dont even think about anything! Shu Xinyu frowned. What are you saying? Im doing this for your own good. Its not good for us to go against her now. But Ning Tongtong wanted to say something, but Ning Yue shouted at her, Shut up! Do you know that because of you, the Ning Corporation and your motherspany have been implicated? If this continues, thepany might face bankruptcy. If you dont admit your mistake, how can you be justified? Im not wrong! Dad, I really didnt do it. I was framed!
Enough! Go back to your room and reflect on your mistakes. We dont have time to care about you now. Dont cause trouble for us again! Ning Tongtong stomped her feet angrily and went upstairs. Shu Xinyu consoled him. Ah Yue, you cant me Tongtong for this. Dont be angry and ruin your health. Ning Yue sighed and hugged Shu Xinyu gently. Its been hard on you. Tongtong made a mistake. Not only did it implicate the Ning Corporation, but it also implicated yourpany. Were a family. Youre treating us like strangers. You were the one who helped me establish my clothingpany. If something happens to mypany, its better than something happening to the Ning Corporation. If it can exchange for Tongtong and the Ning Corporations stability, its worth it. Shu Xinyu leaned against Ning Yues chest. Her voice was very soft, but Ning Yue couldnt see the coldness in her eyes. Qiao Mu let Tongtong off, but she did not expect Li Yan to still attack the Ning family. Herpany was facing a huge crisis now, and all her years of hard work was going to be ruined! Perhaps it was just as Ning Tongtong had said. If Qiao Mu died at that time, everything would be over! C Qiao Mu did not waste too much energy on Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtongs matter. Shortly after, Key studio prepared to move back to Paris. The reason Key returned to China was to select outstanding designers and expand its domestic development. He would return to Paris before the end of the year. When Qiao Mu came to the airport to send him off, Key gave Qiao Mu some simple instructions on her arrangements after the new year, then said, Shu Xinyuspany is about to close down. Do you know that? Qiao Mu was stunned and shook her head. Key saw her reaction and exined, This matter hasnt been spread. Shu Xinyus external clothing supplier has a quality problem. At the same time, the Li Corporation has canceled their cooperation with Shu Xinyu. Thosepanies that have cooperated with her have withdrawn their investments one after another. They wont be able to hold on for long. I believe there will be news before the new year. Chapter 977: Shop, Shop, Shop Chapter 977: Shop, Shop, Shop So it was Li Yan! She should have expected that Li Yan would not let this matter go so easily. Key continued, Shu Xinyuspany went bankrupt, and Ning Tongtongs brand will be removed from the shelves. Although she didnt sessfully sue, she paid the price she deserved. This matter can be considered to havee to an end. Qiao Mu nodded. Key teacher, dont worry. Ill definitely protect the copyrights of my works in the future. This kind of thing wont happen again. In the airport, a notification for registration came through the broadcast. Key smiled and said, See you next year. After sending Key off, Qiao Mu received a call from Yu Yiduo on her way back. She asked her to go shopping and prepare clothes for the new year. Qiao Mu happily agreed and arranged to meet Yu Yiduo at the mall. The two of them shopped and bought all sorts of things. At the same time, in the conference room on the top floor of Li Enterprise, Li Yan and Li Zhengs phones rang continuously. In the board meeting, only the Li father and son could not mute their phones. However, after the two of them pressed their phones, they continued their meeting as if nothing had happened and ignored the continuous text messages. After the meeting, Li Zheng nced at Li Yan and asked, How much did your wife spend? What are you doing? Li Yan asked. Lets see if your wife can squander or my wife can squander. Li Yan was speechless. Li Yan did not answer such a boring question. He returned to his office and called Qiao Mu. At this moment, Qiao Mu was swiping her card like crazy. Her image of being thrifty was long gone. When she received Li Yans call, she said excitedly, Uncle, I bought you a lot of things. Come home early tonight. Li Yan smiled. What did you buy? Youll know when you get home! Qiao Mu kept him in suspense. Okay, when are you done? Ill pick you up. No need. Im with Mom. Well go back together after were done. As Qiao Mu spoke, she saw Yu Yiduo beckoning her over. She immediately ended the call with Li Yan and walked over. Yu Yiduo was in a lingerie store. When Qiao Mu walked in, she saw Yu Yiduo smiling extremely happily. Mu Mu, Ill give you a New Year present. Just as Qiao Mu was about to say that she had just bought the lingerie, she saw Yu Yiduo take a set of sexy silk pajamas from the sales assistant. Then, she said seriously, This material is veryfortable to wear. Its bright red and especially festive. Its suitable for the New Year. Qiao Mu was speechless. Are these really just pajamas? Qiao Mus face could not help but turn red. Although she had bought this kind of interesting pajamas before, it was still very differentpared to this bright red sleepwear. This dress was too frugal! She said shyly, Mom, I have pajamas. You dont have to buy them for me. You have one? Yu Yiduo smiled ambiguously. Mu Mu, I didnt know that youre quite open-minded! Qiao Mu was speechless. Yu Yiduo didnt care whether Qiao Mu epted it or not. She immediately paid the bill and handed the bag to Qiao Mu. Take it well. You dont have to thank me. .. This was really Li Yans biological mother! After a whole day of shopping, he was satisfied with everything except for a certain set of pajamas. Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo returned home withrge and small bags, and the two men were waiting in the living room. As soon as they entered the house, Yu Yiduo threw herself in front of Li Zheng. Hubby, I identally squandered again today. But its not my fault. Its all my daughter-inws fault for being too extravagant. As her mother-inw, I cant be worse than her, right? Qiao Mu was speechless. Ms. Yu, is it really okay for you to be like this? Chapter 978: Their First New Year Chapter 978: Their First New Year Li Zheng looked at Yu Yiduo and nodded cooperatively. Yes, my wife is right. As a father, I cant lose to my son. Yu Yiduo was ted. She then nced at Li Yan. Son, your wife is quite good at squandering. You have to watch her closely in the future! The corner of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. When they were shopping, who was the one who said that a man should give his money to a woman to spend? If she did not spend her husbands money, she would leave it for other women to spend. Hence, she absolutely did not need to show mercy when she swiped her card. However, once she got home, she changed her attitude! Her mother-inw was indeed not to be trifled with! Li Yan raised his eyelids and said in a protective tone, No matter how good she is at squandering, she cant be as good as her mother-inw. I can still take it. Yu Yiduo snorted. She only had eyes for her wifes son. He was not cute at all! After dinner, Qiao Mu excitedly dragged Li Yan back to the bedroom. The bags of things she bought were piled all over the floor in the bedroom. Li Yan sat on the sofa and watched her unwrap the items one by one. Now, can you tell me what you bought? Qiao Mu opened the gift box and showed it to Li Yan while saying, I bought couple socks, couple underwear, couple pajamas, couple scarves, and couple hats. These are all for us to wear during the new year. Its a new year, so we have to change everything. The corner of Li Yans eyes twitched. He did not look at the amount of money on the card details. Now, it seemed that the little woman had bought a lot of things, but they were all cheap. Also, what was a couples underwear? Was the heart-shaped boy underwear really prepared for him? Li Yan did not say anything, so Qiao Mu continued to introduce herself. Uncle, I bought you a cor, a belt, and shoes. I also designed a set of clothes for you so that you can wear the clothes I designed personally for the new year! Qiao Mu chattered on, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became. Li Yan looked at the pile of shopping bags in front of him. Most of them were his things. In the past, Yu Yiduo would always prepare for him during New Years. She would buy a lot of clothes that he could not wear at all. She would always say that she hoped that this year would be thest time she would buy something for him, urging him to find a wife to buy for him. This year, this person finally appeared. Do you like what I gave you? Qiao Mu asked expectantly. I squandered for you today. I didnt even buy anything for myself. I like it. Li Yan patted Qiao Mus head. Buy more things for yourself in the future. I dont mind buying these little things, but I dont need to get new ones for the new year. How can that be! This is the first new year Ive spent with you! Qiao Mu blurted out. The first new year she spent with him was also her happiest new year. In the past, she had never looked forward to the new year. But this time, it was different. She had him. She did not want to let go of any detail. Li Yans heart skipped a beat. Looking at the little womans excited expression, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply on the lips. Qiao Mus breathing quickened from the kiss, and Li Yan finally let go of her. His deep voice rang above her head. Mumu, well have many new years in the future. Anything you want to do wille true. Qiao Mu nodded heavily, feeling very pleased in her heart. Yes, this was just the beginning. Thinking that she had not packed her things, she pushed him away and casually picked up an unopened shopping bag. When she saw the red thing inside, her expression froze and she immediately put it back. Chapter 979: This Is A Scarf Chapter 979: This Is A Scarf Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Whats that? Its nothing! Li Yan saw her guilty look and reached out his long arm to snatch the thing from her hands. Qiao Mu did not stop him. She watched him open the bag, and her expression became unnatural. Mom bought this, not me! she said hurriedly. Li Yan opened it and narrowed his eyes. What is this? Qiao Mu was stunned. Li Yan actually didnt know what this was? Was it because there was too little fabric and no specific shape, so he didnt recognize it? Qiao Mu coughed lightly and said nonchntly, This is a silk scarf. Li Yan nodded and casually put the red pajamas aside. Then you can continue to clean up. After youre done, take a shower and go to bed. Its gettingte. .. Alright. Qiao Mu observed Li Yans expression with uncertainty. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that there was nothing wrong with him.
He really didnt recognize her! It turned out that Young Master Li was also naive and ignorant. After Qiao Mu finished packing her things, she went into the bathroom to take a shower. However, after she was done, she realized that she did not bring her pajamas in. Compared to asking Li Yan to bring her pajamas, she felt that it was safer to wear a towel when she went out. At this moment, Li Yan was sitting by the bed, quietly waiting for Qiao Mu toe out. The bathroom door opened, and when he looked up, he saw a picture of a beautying out of the bath. Qiao Mus hair had already been blown dry in the bathroom, and it hung loosely on her shoulders. The not-so-wide bath towel was wrapped around her chest, only covering her P * nis. It was both exposed and very alluring. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and smirked. Little thing, are you trying to seduce me? Qiao Mu blushed. I forgot to bring my pajamas. Did you forget, or did you do it on purpose? Qiao Mu was speechless. This man was really indecent! Qiao Mus pajamas were hanging on the clothes rack beside the sofa. She was about to go over to get them when she saw Li Yan standing up. She looked at him warily and then saw him walking towards the sofa. She suddenly felt that she had thought too badly of this man. In fact, sometimes, he was still very considerate. Just as Qiao Mu was deep in thought, Li Yan bent down and picked up thePajama! Thats right, it was pajamas, the new year present that Yu Yiduo had bought for her! Qiao Mus lips twitched. Uncle, this is a scarf. Well, youre showing your neck now. You need a scarf. ..This man did it on purpose! He clearly knew that this was a nightgown, but he pretended not to know just now!
In the next second, Li Yan stood in front of Qiao Mu and put the scarf around Qiao Mus neck. Miraculously, the simple fabric could be worn no matter how one wore it. Li Yan smirked and pretended to be confused. Little thing, this looks like a shawl. It can be worn as clothes. Qiao Mu was speechless.
As he said that, Li Yan pulled the towel off Qiao Mus body. Qiao Mus body stiffened, and she tried to push him away with her face flushed red. However, he held her firmly. He held her in ce with one hand and helped her put on the shawl with the other. He said slowly,It looks like theres very little fabric. I didnt expect it to be so practical. It can cover everything that needs to be covered. Qiao Mus entire body heated up. She felt the mans fingers touching her skin, and her body trembled as if she had been electrocuted. She didnt dare to move at all. She was so embarrassed that she didnt dare to look at the man opposite her. Very soon, she was dressed. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at his work. Her upper body was still tied up with ropes. Other than the three oclock spots that were covered, the other parts were tightly pressed against her skin. Chapter 980: One-Time Pajama Chapter 980: One-Time Pajama The red cloth made her skin look even fairer. Li Yan felt his mouth go dry. He narrowed his eyes and said in a low and hoarse voice, Little thing, you lied to me. This is actually pajamas! Qiao Mu waspletely jolted awake by his words. She pushed him away with a red face and burrowed into the nket. Damn it! What was this man pretending to be? He really deserved a beating! Li Yan walked over unhurriedly and lifted the nket. He sat down beside her and admired her. Such beautiful pajamas. Its a waste to cover them up. Li Yan, you bastard! Are you shy? Your mother bought this for me! Is that so? Li Yans hands started to get restless. His low and hoarse voice betrayed his calmness. Arent you the one who wants to please your husband?
Qiao Mu felt her entire body turn red. He was calmly admiring her, but he just sat there without moving, making her feel like a fish on a chopping board, anxiously waiting to be cut into pieces. However, there was also a sense of defeat. In any case, he would be at the mercy of others sooner orter, so he might as well take the initiative to provoke them. To Qiao Mu, ying with fire was her forte. Adding fuel to the fire! Qiao Mu got up and sat on Li Yansp. She hooked her arms around his neck. Uncle, do you like it? Li Yan had been forcefully suppressing that me, and Qiao Mus one move hadpletely made him lose control. The corners of his lips curled up. This little woman had improved! Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan shyly. She watched as the mans sexy Adams apple moved slightly before she said in a low and hoarse voice, I like it. Qiao Mus lips were sealed the moment she finished speaking. Then, both of them fell. Qiao Mu felt dizzy, and just as her consciousness gradually faded, she heard Li Yan continue, Little thing, I really like this feeling. Continue to perform well in the future. Qiao Mu was speechless. C Then, he used the New Years gift that Yu Yiduo had given him earlier. The next day, Yu Yiduo asked curiously if Li Yan was satisfied with her gift. Qiao Mu could only blushing as she tried to fool him. She was so embarrassed! He couldnt be more satisfied, alright? However, that expensive nightgown had already been gloriously sacrificedst night. It had been torn apart by a certain man.
Next, Qiao Mu devoted herself to preparing for the new year. She had designed four sets of clothes, two of which were for her and Li Yan, while the other two were for Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo. Qiao Mu knew that Madam Yu was definitely an easy-going person, and she would definitely like the clothes she gave her. However, Old Master Li couldnt say the same for he was worried that Madam Yu wouldnt like it. When Qiao Mu finished making the clothes and sent them to Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo, Yu Yiduo was iparably excited. Li Zheng, on the other hand, was indeed sitting there like a lord, coldly looking at the clothes. Just when Qiao Mu thought he didnt like it, he said indifferently, No matter what, youre the youngdy of the Li family. You dont have to do these things. Yu Yiduo was unhappy. This is Mu Mus kind intention. What kind of attitude is this?
What attitude? I just think that if she doesnt rest well, Li Yan will feel sorry for her! Then cant you speak properly? How can I speak properly? You old man, I dont even know how I added it to you back then. Youre really not cute at all! Li Zheng was speechless. Qiao Mu watched from the side and wanted to persuade him, but she felt that she was in no position to do so. After all, this couple often quarreled. Chapter 981: Ling Xis Birthday Chapter 981: Ling Xis Birthday At this moment, Li Zheng swept his cold gaze over. Just as Qiao Mu thought that he was shifting his anger onto her, he impatiently said, The clothes are not bad. Ill keep them for the New Year! Qiao Mu was stunned. Her heart warmed as she watched Li Zheng turn around and head upstairs. Although Li Zhengs attitude was stiff, he still epted her as his daughter-inw. When Li Yan returned home, Qiao Mu dragged him into the room. The clothes were very fitting and very handsome. She hooked her arms around his neck and sighed.Why is my man so handsome? Li Yanughed. Because my woman is too beautiful. Qiao Mu liked to hear this. Uncle, lets go to the supermarket to buy New Years goods one day, shall we? Alright. Li Yan patted Qiao Mus head. He knew that this little woman enjoyed the festive season very much. He thought of something and said, Its Ling Xis birthday tomorrow. The Ling family is holding a banquet. Lets go over. Ling Xis birthday was actually the twelfth lunar month. Qiao Mu nodded and asked, Then what gifts should we prepare?
Youre giving him face by going. You dont need a gift. They never sent gifts on their birthdays. Men were different from women. Since Li Yan had said so, Qiao Mu did as he said. After all, it was too impromptu and she did not have much preparation. C Ling Xis birthday waspletely different from Su Chens. It was very grand and many celebrities were invited to the banquet. When Qiao Mu and Li Yan arrived, Ling Xi was surrounded by a group of beauties. When he saw them, he walked over as if he had seen reinforcements. Big Brother, Sister-inw, youre here! Qiao Mu smiled. Happy birthday, Young Master Ling. Youre quite lucky with women. There are many beautiful women surrounding you. Ling Xi was helpless. Sister-inw, dont make fun of me. Those people are the daughters of my parents friends. I cant get rid of them. Ye Nuan didnte? Qiao Mu looked around and asked. At the mention of Ye Nuan, Ling Xis face darkened and he said in a bad mood, Not yet. Then, Su Chen and Chi Xia arrived. Chi Xia was extremely unwilling to be Su Chens femalepanion. The moment she saw Qiao Mu, she subconsciously let go of Su Chen and wanted to walk over. However, in the next second, her hand that had been removed from Su Chens wrist was grabbed by him. Chi Xia turned around and looked at Su Chen. Su Chens expression was indifferent as he reminded her, Youre my femalepanion today. I didnt bring you to the sisters gathering. Chi Xia was speechless. She broke free from his grip without a trace and stood silently beside him. Ling Xi walked over. Second Brother, are you here to attend my birthday party or for a date? Su Chen nced at Ling Xi, then nced at the other side. Someone is waiting for you over there. Go socialize. Ling Xi turned around and saw a few women staring at him, which annoyed him.
He looked at the time. Why wasnt that woman Ye Nuan here yet? Today, his parents had invited a bunch of youngdies from family friends. They said that it was his birthday, but it was actually a blind date. Seeing those women staring at him like wolves and tigers, he could only endure it and was very angry. Ling Xi called Ye Nuan. After a while, the call was picked up. Her tone was a little hurried. Young Master Ling, Im sorry. Im still on my way. Do you know that Im stuck with a bunch of women? Hurry up! As Ling Xi spoke, a woman came up to toast him. He hung up the phone.
Qiao Mu saw that Ling Xis expression was not too good, so she looked at Li Yan in puzzlement. Why does Young Master Ling look so unhappy when its his birthday? Chapter 982: 984-Mirous Provoke Chapter 982: Chapter 984-Mirous Provoke There are so many women taking turns to go on blind dates with him. How can he be happy? Li Yan said calmly. Qiao Mu understood now. Li Yan had told her before that they usually had a simple meal together on their birthdays in the past. However, Ling Xis birthday banquet this year was so grand that it was obviously arranged by Ling Xis parents. But wasnt Ling Xi already Ye Nuan? At this moment, Ye Nuan rushed over from the entrance. Ling Xi said to the woman in front of him in a gentlemanly manner, Wait a moment. Then, he strode over to Ye Nuan. He didnt look too good. He was about to scold Ye Nuan for beingte, but when he saw that she was panting heavily, his anger dissipated. Young Master Ling, Im stuck in traffic. Im sorry. Ye Nuan apologized. Although she was reluctant to attend his birthday party, she had the responsibility to be his femalepanion. When she needed him, he could help her. When he needed her, she had to be useful. Ling Xi didnt say anything and held Ye Nuans hand as they walked into the crowd. Ling Xi was supposed to be the main character today, but now that he had a femalepanion by his side, those youngdies who were spying on Ling Xi all stared at Ye Nuan. A woman walked over and asked with a smile, Young Master Ling, who is this person beside you?
My girlfriend. Ling Xi answered sinctly. The other party was stunned. Young Master Ling, arent you single? Who said that? Ling Xi said and brought Ye Nuan to receive the guests. As they walked, he reminded her, Your mission now is to stop all women from approaching me. Ye Nuan nodded, and when she saw Qiao Mu, she smiled at Qiao Mu from afar. Qiao Mu smiled back. It looked like Ye Nuan would have to work hard today. Someone toasted Li Yan as well, while Qiao Mu stood silently at the side. Suddenly, she saw a woman in a white dress walk in. The woman looked familiar, but she couldnt remember who it was. She didnt think too much about it and looked at Chi Xia. Just as she was about to say something, she realized that Chi Xia was staring at the woman who had just entered the room with a dark expression. Qiao Mu suddenly remembered that this woman was Mirou, Gu Chengs fiance! Chi Xia looked at Mirou expressionlessly and then shifted her gaze away. Her expression turned cold for a moment but quickly returned to normal. However, she clenched her fists tightly. Unknowingly, she had already forgotten about this woman. She almost forgot about the ambiguous rtionship between this woman and Su Chen! Chi Xia lowered her head and restrained her emotions when she recalled the ambiguous photos of Su Chen and Mirou that Mirou had sent her. Mirou entered the banquet hall and scanned the crowd. Her eyes fell on Chi Xia and Su Chen, and she walked up to them with a smile. Mi Rou stopped in front of Su Chen and looked at Chi Xia. She stared at Su Chen with sparkling eyes and said, Young Master Su, long time no see. Su Chen was toasting someone in front of him. After clinking sses with the other party, he heard someone greeting him. He turned his head and saw Mi Rou smiling at him. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chi Xia. Chi Xia was expressionless and did not seem to be acting strangely. However, he could feel that there was something wrong with this womans emotions. Su Chen didnt respond to Mirous words. He just looked at Chi Xia without batting an eyelid. Seeing that she didnt react, his lips curled up coldly. Seeing her old love rival, she started to feel sad again?
Mirou felt a little awkward after being treated coldly. She changed the topic to Chi Xia, Chi Xia, we meet again. This is the first time weve met since Gu Cheng left, right? Chapter 983: Mirous Provoke (2) Chapter 983: Mirous Provoke (2) Chi Xia looked at Mi Rou coldly. Although Mi Rou was smiling, she could see the hostility in her eyes. She looked at the man beside her. He didnt respond to Mirou but was looking at her. She couldnt tell what he was thinking. Chi Xia could not describe her feelings. She looked at Mi Rou coldly, Please dont try to be so familiar with me. I thought we were close. After all, we like the same man. As she spoke, Mi Rou nced at Su Chen. Chi Xia did not know if Mirou was referring to Gu Cheng or Su Chen when she said that she liked the same man. This woman was really arrogant. She liked Gu Cheng and then liked Su Chen, but she had to drag her in. What did it have to do with her? She and Su Chen were never in that kind of rtionship! Chi Xia didnt want to look at Mi Rou anymore. She let go of Su Chen and said coldly, I wont disturb you two anymore. You two can continue catching up. Su Chens face darkened after Chi Xia finished speaking. The woman next to him let go of her and walked away. On the other hand, Mi Rou was smiling very proudly.
His Gu Cheng had been snatched away by Chi Xia, but this time, she would not let it go! She had to snatch Su Chen away from Chi Xia! Mi Rou smiled at Su Chen and took a step forward. She took the opportunity to hold Su Chens arm. Mr. Su, you dont have a date now. Can I be your date? The moment Mi Rou approached him, Su Chens eyes darkened. He didnt push her away immediately. Instead, he looked at Mi Rou coldly. Mi Rou felt her scalp go numb from his stare. When this man was normal, he seemed calm and collected, but every time she got close to him, she could feel that he was very scary. But it didnt matter. Since she dared to approach him again and again, she was naturally mentally prepared. Do you know what happens if you touch me? Su Chen asked coldly. Mi Rou was stunned. Then, she leaned against Su Chen even more brazenly. Mr. Su, what will happen to me? After the banquet, can you let me try it? Without waiting for Su Chen to speak, Mi Rou smiled ambiguously. I booked a room upstairs. Su Chens expression darkened. Take your dirty hands away! Mister Su It doesnt seem like its the first time youve approached me. It seems like the warning I gave youst time didnt work. You dont have the qualifications! Ill give you onest chance. I dont like to be rough with a woman in public! Su Chens voice was cold and clear, causing Mi Rou to freeze. She couldnt help but let him go. However, she was unwilling to give up. Mr. Su, I will perform well. Please give me a chance. If Chi Xia can do it, I can do it too. If you allow her to touch you, you will also allow me to get close to you. Su Chens lips curled up coldly. Can you bepared to her? Get lost! Mirous face turned pale. Why, why did he say something simr again? Before Gu Cheng left, he told her that she could notpare to Chi Xia. She could not evenpare to Chi Xia! Why would all the men she fancied be charmed by Chi Xia? She couldnt ept this!
She was truly infatuated with Su Chen. Compared to Gu Cheng, Su Chens mature charm was irresistible. Whether it was out of revenge on Chi Xia or out of love for Su Chen, she had to get Su Chen! Since he couldnt make a move on Su Chen for the time being, he could only change his target. Chapter 984: Mirous Provoke (3) Chapter 984: Mirous Provoke (3) Qiao Mu was observing Chi Xias reaction when she saw Chi Xia turn around and walk towards the washroom. Meanwhile, Mi Rou was chatting andughing in front of Su Chen. She told Li Yan to go to the washroom and walked towards Chi Xia. Chi Xia smiled when she saw Qiao Mu. Why arent you apanying Young Master Li? Why are you here? Su Chen has been targeted, and youre leaving just like that? As Qiao Mu spoke, she turned to nce at Su Chen. She didnt mind this nce, but she saw Mi Rou holding Su Chens arm, and the two of them were extremely intimate. Qiao Mu frowned and looked at Chi Xia. Chi Xia had also witnessed this scene. Chi Xia met Qiao Mus worried gaze and shrugged nonchntly. I cant interfere in his personal matters. Our rtionship isnt what you think. Qiao Mu looked at Chi Xia and didnt ask further. Although Qiao Mu did not know Su Chen well, she knew that he was not a casual person. Li Yans brothers might have different personalities, but they were not people without principles when it came to rtionships. They would not allow people they did not like to get close to them. Was there really something between Su Chen and Mi Rou? This scene made it difficult for people not to think about it.
Chi Xia did not stay any longer. She turned around and entered the washroom. Qiao Mu stood where she was, and when she looked at Su Chen again, she saw that Mi Rou had already let go of Su Chen. From a distance, Qiao Mu could see the coldness and disgust on Su Chens face, as well as Mi Rous sorry state. Qiao Mu sighed helplessly as she watched Chi Xias disappearing figure. In the washroom, Chi Xia stood in front of the mirror in a daze. She felt a little depressed. It was not only because she saw Mirou, but also because of Mirou and Su Chen. She took a deep breath and smiled at the mirror. It was fine. She didnt care. When she came out of the bathroom, she bumped into Mi Rou who was walking over. She did not stop and wanted to walk around Mi Rou to leave, but she was stopped by Mi Rou. Chi Xia, lets talk. Mi Rou said. Chi Xia smirked coldly. We have nothing to talk about. Thats not necessarily true. Youre Su Chens woman now, and Im also his woman. Do you think we need to talk? Mirou smiled. You saw the photo I gave youst time, right? Chi Xia, you snatched my fianc away and now you want to snatch my man away from me. How can you be so shameless? Your man? Are you referring to Su Chen? Mirou, your man changes so quickly. If shes really your man, hold on tight and dont let go. You dont have to be arrogant here! Chi Xia ignored Mirou and was about to walk past her when Mirou grabbed her wrist. Chi Xia, let me tell you, Su Chen is mine! If you know your ce, dont pester him! You owe me this. Dont you feel guilty for ruining my rtionship with Gu Cheng? What face do you have to fight with me? Chi Xia smiled. Ive seen shameless people before, but Ive never seen someone as shameless as you. Let me tell you, I dont owe you anything. If you want to settle the score, go settle it with Gu Cheng! Chi Xia flung Mi Rou away and left. Chi Xias mood was ruined by Mi Rou. When she returned to the banquet hall, she saw Su Chen standing in front of Li Yan and Qiao Mu. She did not stop and walked straight to the exit of the banquet hall. Su Chens face darkened when he saw Chi Xia ignoring him and walking towards the exit. He quickly caught up with her and grabbed her wrist. Where are you going? Chi Xia was stunned. She turned back to look at him and whispered, Im not feeling well. I want to go back first. Chapter 985: Are You Making My Heart Hurt On Purpose? 1 Chapter 985: Are You Making My Heart Hurt On Purpose? 1 Chi Xia, do I need to remind you that you came with me and youre leaving without saying a word? Su Chens face darkened. Chi Xia looked at him calmly. Dont you have a new femalepanion? So it doesnt matter if Im here or not, right? Su Chens eyes darkened. He bent down and looked at her with disdain. What are you hiding from? Are you jealous, or is it because the other party is your old love rival that youre upset about? Chi Xias heart tightened. She saw the mans mocking gaze and subconsciously retorted, I didnt! Nothing? Su Chen pressed on, Chi Xia, youre really loyal. Its been so long and you still havent forgotten that scumbag? Chi Xias anger was getting worse. She was infuriated by Su Chen. It didnt matter what Gu Cheng had done. They had been together before, but this man was mocking Gu Cheng like this. He was mocking her for being blind back then. Chi Xia turned around and walked out. Su Chen followed her and dragged her towards the car. The next second, she was dragged into the car. Chi Xia was stunned when she saw the man sitting in the drivers seat. He was going to leave with her? The car started and Chi Xia could not help but say, Young Master Su, can you just leave like this? Your femalepanion is still waiting for you inside.
Su Chen turned to look at Chi Xia and narrowed his eyes. Are you a ghost? Youre the ghost! Chi Xia retorted subconsciously. He was baffled. Why did he suddenly say something like that? Su Chen raised his cold eyes. Youre sitting right next to me. I dont remember having a second femalepanion. Chi Xia lowered her eyes and said nothing. She didnt know what she cared about. What this man had with Mi Rou had nothing to do with her. Su Chen felt inexplicably angry. He stopped at the red light and said coldly, Chi Xia, dont act like youre heartbroken in front of me. I didnt hire you to affect my mood in front of me! Chi Xia bit her lip and smiled at Su Chen. Young Master Su, if you think that seeing me will affect your mood, Ill return the money to you and disappear from your sight, okay? Su Chens face darkened. Sure, but you have to pay a penalty of one billion yuan! Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart. She knew that nothing good woulde out of taking his money! C They were speechless all the way home. Chi Xia followed Su Chen into the house silently. Then, she went straight into the bedroom and locked herself inside. Chi Xias reaction made Su Chens face darken. This woman became so depressed after seeing her love rival. Why did she care so much about her old lover? After so long, she still couldnt let go! Very good! She was really loyal! Su Chen entered the study room and saw that the desk had been tidied up neatly. There were piles of documents on the desk. It was obvious that Chi Xia had tidied them up. Ever since this woman moved into this house, everything had changed. Even heIt also became different!
Taking a deep breath, he rummaged through the documents on his desk and found that a proposal he had left behindst night was missing. He went to Chi Xias room and knocked on the door. Soon, Chi Xia opened the door. Young Master Su, itste. Is there anything you need? Looking at her guarded expression, Su Chen asked in a deep voice, You cleaned up my desk this morning and threw away my documents?
Chapter 986: Are You Making My Heart Hurt On Purpose? 2 Chapter 986: Are You Making My Heart Hurt On Purpose? 2 No, I havent. Chi Xia replied. Youre the only one who touched my desk. You didnt lose it. Could it be that the documents flew away by themselves? Go and look for the table you tidied up. Chi Xias stomach was hurting. She wanted to rest, but she still went into the study to look for documents. There were a few piles of documents on the table. She had no idea what they looked like, so she could only reorganize them. In the end, she flipped through all the documents but could not find the one Su Chen was looking for. Chi Xia looked at the man sitting on the chair beside her, looking down at her busying herself as if he was deliberately looking for trouble. Her anger red up. She red at him. Su Chen, are you deliberately making things difficult for me? Is it fun to y with me? Where do you want me to find a document that doesnt exist? Su Chens face turned cold. Do you think I did it on purpose? Isnt it? At this moment, Chi Xia could not care less and retorted angrily. Su Chenughed coldly. Chi Xia, dont forget who you are. Youre my nanny. You have to take responsibility for your own mistakes. Dont push the me onto others because of your personal feelings! Good! Im the one whos shirking responsibility. Then tell me, what kind of documents did I lose! Chi Xia questioned. A n with a form.
After Su Chen finished speaking, Chi Xia was stunned. When she was cleaning the study this morning, there was a document beside the trash can. She thought it was useless, so she threw it into the trash can. She had thought that he was deliberately causing trouble for her, but it turned out that she had really lost a document! Seeing the mans cold expression, Chi Xia turned around and walked out. Su Chen frowned. Where are you going? I threw that document away. Ill get it back for you. Chi Xia had already reached the door and was walking out with her coat. Su Chen stopped her. Where are you going to find her in the middle of the night? Even if it was thrown into the trash can, it would have been taken away by now! Maybe I didnt take it away and identally threw it away. Dont worry, Ill take responsibility. Chi Xia insisted. Go back! Young Master Su, youre right. Im your nanny. Ill take responsibility for this mistake! I told you to go back! Su Chen raised his voice, his tone filled with anger. The two of them were in a deadlock. At this moment, the elevator doors opened and Chi Xia walked past Su Chen and entered the elevator. Su Chen red at the stubborn woman. He was furious and had no choice but to follow her into the elevator. The winter night was bone-chilling. Chi Xia walked out of the corridor and regretted it a little. She was too impulsive and did not change her shoes. She was barefoot and wearing sandals. She didnt stop and went straight to the trash can. Just as she was about to open the lid of the trash can, she was stopped by Su Chen. Young Master Su, you can go back. Ill find the documents. She seemed determined to be in a deadlock with him. She shook her off and put the trash can down. Su Chen red at the figure squatting on the ground. He lowered his voice and said angrily, Chi Xia, whats wrong with you? Chi Xia paused and ignored Su Chens rage as she rummaged through the trash. Wasnt it just a document? She would definitely get it back for him. What was the big deal? Did he have to be so fierce to her? Just as Chi Xia was rummaging through the trash, a force suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind and pulled her up. Before she could react, she heard an angry roar, Chi Xia, are you stupid? Chi Xia was stunned. In the next second, she was lifted up and she could see the mans cold face clearly.
Chapter 987: Are You Making My Heart Hurt On Purpose? 3 Chapter 987: Are You Making My Heart Hurt On Purpose? 3 Her hands and feet were numb from the cold and she forgot to struggle for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she subconsciously wanted to push him away, but when she raised her hand, she realized that her hands were dirty from rummaging through the trash can. She looked at him in a sorry state. Put me down! Didnt you ask me to find the documents for you? I told you to rummage through the trash can? Su Chen red at her and carried her into the elevator. Her hands were blue from the cold and her face was red from the cold, which made him angry. Did this woman even have a brain? Chi Xia bit her lip and didnt say anything. Her body was cold and her emotions surged after he shouted at her. Su Chen carried Chi Xia home andid her down on the sofa. Looking at her sorry state, he frowned and warned, Sit still! Then, he went into the bathroom and soaked a towel. He returned to Chi Xia and held her hand to wipe the dirty stains. Chi Xia was stunned. She stared nkly at the man in front of her. She wanted to retract her hand, but he held it tightly. Dont move! I can wash myself Su Chens wiping became rough and he looked up at her. Chi Xia, did you do it on purpose? She was stunned, not understanding what he meant. Then, Su Chen put down the towel and hooked her chin. He narrowed his eyes at her. You want to abuse yourself and make my heart ache? I didnt! Chi Xia was baffled. Looking at the woman in front of him, Su Chen pinched her chin and leaned over. Just as he approached her, he saw the woman retreat in panic, which made him stop. He let go of her coldly. Go back to your room and take a shower. If youre sick tomorrow and cant make breakfast on time, Ill deduct half a months sry from you! Half a months sry! Was this robbery? Chi Xia stood up silently and asked uncertainly, What about the documents? Is it important? Actually, she still felt a little guilty. After all, she was the one who had made a mistake. She had identally lost his documents and taken his money. It was normal for him to me her for making a mistake. She did not know why she was so angry. Su Chen turned back to look at her. He was about to give her an affirmative answer, but when he saw her guilty expression, he changed the topic. Why? You want topensate me for my loss? This project is worth more than one billion yuan. Chi Xia panicked and believed him. Just as she was at a loss for what to do, she realized that Su Chens eyes were filled with mockery, as if he wasughing at her for being so gullible. The guilt he felt disappearedpletely. If it was really important, he wouldnt have such an attitude. Obviously, it wasnt that important! Since it wasnt that important, he still wanted to make things difficult for her. This man really couldnt bear to see her idle! Chi Xia took a shower. Her body temperature had recovered, but her stomach was still hurting. She went to the living room and took out the brown sugar that Su Chen had bought for her to soak in water to relieve her period pain. After drinking the brown sugar water, Chi Xia was about to return to her bedroom when she heard Su Chens voice when she passed by the study room, Send me the information you sent mest night again. I want to reorganize it again Yes, Ive sorted it out. There was an ident and I identally lost the document. As Su Chen spoke, he heard theints on the other end of the phone. His tone darkened. Ouyang, if you want to sleep or not, you can send me an email. Tomorrow, Ill tell Big Brother. Ill leave the trading n for this lousy product to you. You were the one who took the initiative to apply for it. Chapter 988: Chi Xia, Are You Jealous?(1) Chapter 988: Chi Xia, Are You Jealous?(1) Superintendent Ouyang was originally sleeping. When she heard this, she immediately got up and turned on her phone to get down to business. Second Head, youve helped me with my heavy work despite your busy schedule. Its really hard on you. Ill send it to you in a minute. Su Chen put down the phone and heard a knock on the door. Before he could say anything, the door was pushed open. Chi Xia stood at the door and looked at him. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Whats the matter? Young Master Su, did I cause you trouble by losing the document? Listening to the content of his call, she realized that it really wasnt an ordinary document. Su Chens eyes twitched. Why? You want topensate me? Why was this woman acting pitiful in front of him now? Chi Xia walked into the study room. Im the one who caused this. If you need my help, I can help you sort it out. Su Chen looked at Chi Xia. She had just taken a shower and her hair was still wet on her shoulders. She hung her head and looked guilty. This was the first time this woman had behaved so obediently in front of her. He pointed at the chair beside him with his chin, indicating for her to sit down. Chi Xia sat down obediently and looked at him. What do you need me to do? Su Chen received an email in his mailbox. He printed out the document and handed it to Chi Xia. Then, he gave her a form. Record all the numbers and data on the form and fill them in at the corresponding ces, will you? Chi Xia looked at it, nodded, and did as she was told. The documents that Chi Xia had thrown away werepiled by Su Chenst night. It was not urgent overseas and he had the data in his head. He would be able to finish it in one or two hours. However, since Chi Xia had offered to help him, he did not reject her. This woman was rarely so docile. Recalling her stubborn look when she rummaged through the trash can, Su Chen stopped what she was doing and looked at her. Are you feeling better now? Chi Xia was stunned. Then, she heard him say, As long as its about that man, youll go crazy. Is he that important to you? Su Chens tone was calm, but only he knew that he was suppressing some kind of emotion in his heart. Chi Xia was stunned. Even though she did not want to exin, she still replied, No, I havent. No? Su Chens eyes shed with emotion. Was she denying it? Chi Xia lowered her head. Young Master Su, whats your rtionship with Mirou? she asked after a while. Su Chens eyes shed. Why do you ask? If you have an ambiguous rtionship with Mirou, please take care of your personal affairs. Dont let her disturb me all the time. Chi Xias words made Su Chens face darken. Before he could say anything, Chi Xias voice rang out again, muttering softly, But your taste is really unique. Why would you like Mirous type? Although these words did not sound pleasant to the ear, Su Chen understood another meaning. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her. When did I say that I like her? Oh, I dont like it. Im just having fun. Chi Xia pursed her lips, unable to hide the disdain in her eyes. Say it again! I wouldnt dare! Su Chen red at her. Chi Xia, my taste isnt that bad. Im not interested in that woman at all. Dont lump me together with her! If its not rted, then its not rted. You dont have to exin it to me. Su Chens eyes darkened. After a while, the corners of his lips curled up and he stared at her with a dark gaze. Chi Xia, youre jealous. Chapter 989: Chi Xia, Are You Jealous? 2 Chapter 989: Chi Xia, Are You Jealous? 2 Jealous? Was there something wrong with this man? Jealous of you? she replied directly. Do you think thats possible? Im not worried that shell take my job as a nanny. If she likes it, I can give it to her! Her words angered Su Chen. This woman had never taken him seriously. He knew that if he had not arranged for her to stay by his side in this way, he might never have been able to get close to her! Chi Xia could feel the mans eyes darken as he stared at her. Just as she felt her hair stand on end, the man shifted his gaze away, pursed his lips, and continued working. She let her guard down for a moment, and her tone seemed to be not very good. Or was it that she wasnt jealous, which made him feel embarrassed? After some thought, Chi Xia said softly, Young Master Su, I wont give Mirou the job of a nanny. Ive epted your money. Ill work for you honestly. Su Chen looked at Chi Xia coldly. Then go make me a bowl of noodles now. Chi Xia was speechless. She was a 24-hour nanny. Who could do a better job than her?
Chi Xia was also hungry. After making noodles, she and Su Chen each ate a bowl. After eating, he returned to the study room to continue sorting out the information. It was easy to feel sleepy after eating and drinking. Chi Xia sat in front of her desk and yawned, asking, Young Master Su, is it too early to finish? The document you threw away was made by mest night. Do you think itll end so easily? Su Chens eyes were fixed on theputer screen, his slender fingers typing on the keyboard without even looking at Chi Xia. Chi Xia sighed and could only force herself to continue working. She was too sleepy. She looked up at Su Chen and found him focused on hisputer. It was said that serious men were very charming. She had to admit that Su Chens temperament and appearance were impable. Chi Xia was lost in thought as she looked at Su Chen. When Su Chens gaze shifted to her, he did not look away in time. She was stunned for two seconds before she quickly picked up the document and handed it to him. Young Master Su, Im done. Is there anything else you need me to do? Su Chen looked at her flustered expression and took a look at the document with a calm expression. Chi Xia secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not notice her spying. Su Chen checked the documents. He didnt have any objections, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the woman beside him had an unnatural expression. The smile on his lips deepened. Actually, he had noticed her staring at him. Although he was working, his attention was always on her. He looked up at her and handed her another document as if nothing had happened, asking her to sort it out. Seeing her reluctant but forced expression, a smile shed across his eyes. Actually, he didnt need her help for a long time. It was just that he didnt want her to leave. It was rare for her to take the initiative to ask for help. He had no reason not to seize this opportunity. Chi Xia tidied up her documents listlessly. She looked up and saw that the man was not paying attention to her and was resting on the table. She was too sleepy and would be fine after resting for a while. However, just as her head touched the table, she fell asleep in a daze.
Su Chen looked at her and the corners of his lips curled up. He didnt wake him up and continued working. Half an hourter, he finished his work, got up, and walked to her side. He carefully carried her in his arms. Chapter 990: What If I Say Its Worth It? Chapter 990: What If I Say Its Worth It? Chi Xia was not in a deep sleep. She felt herself in afortable embrace. She groaned and wanted to continue sleeping. She opened her eyes in a daze and met the mans deep ck eyes. She was stunned and did not react for a moment. She stared nkly at those eyes. Su Chen didnt expect her to suddenly wake up. When his eyes met hers, he didnt look unnatural at all. As if nothing had happened, he shifted his gaze and put her on the bed. He looked straight into her eyes, bent down, hooked her chin, and said lightly, Chi Xia, are you trying to seduce me with that look? Chi Xia panicked and felt her heart skip a beat. She flung his hand away and turned her face away. Youre overthinking. I hope Im overthinking it. However, if you really have such thoughts, I have to consider if its worth it to use one billion yuan to bait you. Chi Xia could sense the ambiguity in the mans tone, so she changed the topic in a low voice, Have you finished organizing the information? As Chi Xia spoke, she turned around to look at Su Chen. However, when she turned around, she realized that Su Chens face was right in front of her. She waspletely stunned. Only then did she realize that the atmosphere was a little off. At this moment, she was lying on the bed, and he was leaning over the bed to look at her. Their faces were so close to touching. Everything happened too fast. Before Chi Xia could react, she suddenly saw the mans face approaching her.
In the next second, her lips were kissed! Su Chen couldnt control himself for a moment. This woman took the initiative to lean in front of him. His only reaction was to kiss her tender lips. When he touched her, his rationality disappeared instantly. He reached out to the back of her head and kissed her deeply. Chi Xia felt her head explode. The moment she was kissed, her entire body exploded. The unguarded kiss was so aggressive that it almost swallowed her whole. Chi Xias mind went nk. She forgot to struggle and resist as she endured his kiss. His kiss was passionate and possessive, exuding a dangerous aura. After a while, she finally reacted. Before she could push him away, the man suddenly stopped. His fingers gently rubbed her lips as he narrowed his eyes and looked at her with an unclear expression. Chi Xia felt her heart skip a beat and her heartbeat elerated. Just as Chi Xia adjusted her breathing and was about to say something, she heard the man say in a low voice, Tell me, is it worth it? Was it worth it What he said just now was whether it was worth it to use a billion yuan to bait her. Chi Xia took a deep breath and found her voice after a while. She asked, Dont you think its worth it? In fact, she was sure that he would say that it was not worth it. Young Master Su wanted a woman. What kind of woman was there? It was just a matter of beckoning with his finger. Why would he need to spend money? Using one billion to get her would not do him any good. Besides, she was no longer fresh to him. He had already gotten her body, so he would not waste money on her. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. So, youre putting the decision in my hands and letting me make the decision? Chi Xia panicked and felt like she had fallen into his trap. What if I say its worth it? the man asked. What if I say its worth it?
Chi Xia was stunned. She looked at the mans expression and couldnt see any emotion. [The previous chapter is repeated and Ill read it again. Today, Suying brought theputer back. Ill really resume the update. Ill continueter.] Chapter 991: Lets See If Im Addicted to You Chapter 991: Lets See If Im Addicted to You What did he mean? He said it was worth it. Did he think it was worth it to buy her for one billion yuan? If that was the case, he was really ttering her. She looked back at him and smiled sarcastically. Young Master Su, you really think highly of me. I dont think Im that valuable. Su Chens eyes darkened. This woman dared to say that she was worthless! His lips curled up coldly. You mean that I dont have to pay you so much for breaching the contract by touching you? Because youre not that valuable. Chi Xias expression changed as she realized that her words were indirectly lowering her status. She red at him and said provocatively, Young Master Su, its better if you dont touch me. The contract is there. Even if Im not worth much, you still have topensate me with one billion yuan. Its not good to spend a lot of money and suffer a loss. If youre addicted to me, Im afraid youll really go bankrupt because of me. The coldness in Su Chens eyes lessened as he scanned Chi Xia twice. It seems like you have a lot of confidence in yourself. Should I give it a try? Will I get addicted? Chi Xias expression froze. She wanted him to give up on this idea, but who knew that this man would do the opposite.
Havent you already tried? she asked softly after a while. The facts have proven that youre not addicted, so its better not to try it. How do you know Im not addicted? Hmm? He stared at her, his eyes full of questions. Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Su Chen smiled. Dont you think that what you said is contradictory? Chi Xia, are you trying to seduce me or not? Chi Xia jumped up from the bed and got out of bed. Youre upying my room and refusing to leave. If you dont want to leave, Ill leave! Su Chen grabbed her arm and pushed her back onto the bed. He nced at her and said, Ill let you off today. Well discuss this another day. Another day Chi Xia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Su Chen leave the room after he finished speaking. As she rxed, she felt inexplicably nervous. The nervousness of danger making her heart beat faster. She buried her face in the nket and pursed her lips. The kiss just now seemed to still be warm. She couldnt describe what she was feeling. It was both familiar and unfamiliar, making her feel very confused. She always felt that it was very dangerous to be by this mans side. Perhaps if she was not careful, she would lose her footing, but she did not stay far away. At this moment, Chi Xias phone rang. She opened her message and saw a message from an unknown number: Chi Xia, youre really smart. Dont think that you can stop me just because you took Su Chen away. Su Chen will be mine sooner orter! After staring at the message for a while, Chi Xia moved her fingers to delete the message and blocked the number. What did Su Chens identity have to do with her? C Ling Xis birthday party. Qiao Mu was standing beside Li Yan in boredom, her gaze sweeping across the main characters of the banquet. Ling Xi was standing in front of Mr. and Mrs. Ling with Ye Nuan. Qiao Mu had seen Ling Xis parents at Mrs. Lings birthday party before, and she was rather surprised to see this scene. However, Ye Nuan didnt know that there was this segment. She looked at the middle-aged couple in front of her and thought that they were guests. Then, she heard Ling Xi say, Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend, Ye Nuan. Dont arrange for me to meet those random women. Its unnecessary. Ye Nuan was stunned.
He didnt say that he would bring her to meet his parents! Hello, Uncle and Auntie, Ye Nuan braced herself and greeted them. Chapter 992: This Woman Is Not Greedy at All! Chapter 992: This Woman Is Not Greedy at All! Mr. and Mrs. Ling put on a look of disbelief at the same time. Why havent we heard you mention it? You didnt tell us that you have a girlfriend. Could it be that you just found someone to fool us? How is that possible? Ive been dating her for a few months. My brother can prove it. Ling Xi pointed at Li Yan who was not far away. Li Yans name became more convincing. Even if Ling Xi could fool them, Li Yan had always been a steady person and would not work together to fool them. Mrs. Ling sized Ye Nuan up and asked,Miss Ye, may I ask which familys daughter are you from? How did you meet Ling Xi? Ye Nuan was extremely embarrassed and looked at Ling Xi with a troubled expression. Ling Xi, however, looked nonchnt. Mom, dont make things difficult for her. Youll scare her. Mrs. Ling smiled and nodded. I was being rude. Miss Ye, how old are you? Auntie, Im 21 years old. Ye Nuan replied softly. 21 years old. Its the age to get married. Mrs. Ling looked at Ling Xi. Since you have a girlfriend, pick a good day and get married soon. Ling Xi and Ye Nuan were both shocked. Ling Xi frowned and said, Mom, whats the rush? My brother isnt even married yet. Youre all urging me to find a woman, and Ive already done so. Im not in a hurry to do anything else! Dont think that I dont know. Ah Yans fiance hasnt reached the age of marriage yet, but she has already registered her marriage overseas. You should learn from Ah Yan. Xiao Nuan is a pretty good girl. If you want to get married, you should get married early.
Under Mrs. Lings pressure, Ye Nuan couldnt help but say, Auntie, to be honest with you, Im from an ordinary family. Im not some richdy, so Mrs. Ling smiled. Oh, its okay. Our family doesnt care about matching social status. As long as Ling Xi likes him, its fine. This kid has too many problems. Its not easy to meet someone who likes him. Ye Nuan was speechless. How worried was her son about not being able to get a wife?! Mr. and Mrs. Ling left in satisfaction. Ling Xis expression wasnt too good. He lowered his head to look at Ye Nuan, only to realize that she didnt seem to care about what had just happened. He frowned. Are you eager to take this opportunity to marry me? Ye Nuan rolled her eyes. Youre thinking too much. Then why arent you anxious? Why should I be anxious? Were just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Its your parents who forced you to get married. What does it have to do with me? Ye Nuan said disapprovingly. Ling Xis face darkened. Why wasnt this woman greedy at all? Dont you think that after marrying me, youll be able to livefortably for the rest of your life? Ling Xi said in a low voice. The youngdy of the Ling family is your biggest backer? Ye Nuan smiled. Im sorry, I dont have that much ambition. If Young Master Ling is prepared to find someone to marry, then our deal is over. Ling Xi choked on his words. At this moment, another woman came to propose a toast. Ye Nuan took the opportunity to distance herself from Ling Xi. Young Master Ling, dont waste your parents efforts. Focus on finding a marriage partner. I wont disturb you anymore. ? This woman! Ling Xi wanted to drag her back but was blocked by the woman who came up to him. Ye Nuan went to the balcony to get some fresh air. After a while, she returned to the living room and bumped into a man. The other partys expression changed when he saw her. Yo, isnt this my ex-girlfriend? It seemed that a model had really caught a big fish by going to such a high-ss event. The man who took you awayst time? Does he still want you? Are you going to dump you after ying with you enough? Chapter 993: 995-Ling Xis Protection Chapter 993: Chapter 995-Ling Xis Protection Ye Nuans face darkened. This was the first time she had seen him since Ling Xi had taken her away. The woman standing beside him now exposed her chest and legs, sticking close to him. It made her feel nauseous. She was about to leave without saying a word when Young Master Lin stopped her. Dont leave. You dumped me. Id like to see what kind of man youve hooked up with now. Wheres your man? Im afraid youve already changed a few rounds, right? I dont believe that he wont touch you! Move aside! Ye Nuan scolded with a cold face. The woman beside Young Master Lin said in a strange tone, Young Master Lin, who is she? Shes quite pretty! If you care so much about her, Im going to be jealous. Young Master Lin sneered. Shes cold in certain aspects and doesnt allow men to touch her. Yo, I really couldnt tell. Ye Nuan didnt want to attract attention at the banquet, so she took a step back and looked at him coldly. Young Master Lin, youre here to attend the birthday banquet. Arent you worried that things will blow up? So what if it blows up? The Ling family has a partnership with my familys business. Do you think your man can help you? I just want to see which man would want a broken shoe like you! Young Master Lin only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. Today, he was arranged by his parents to attend the banquet. He had just entered and had not even seen the main character, so he did not know Ling Xi at all. Last time, Ye Nuan was snatched away by an unknown man, and he was unhappy. Now that he saw Ye Nuan again, he wanted to get back at her.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind. Who wants to see me? Young Master Lin turned around and saw Ling Xi. He immediately recognized him as the man who took Ye Nuan awayst time! To be able to participate in such an event, ones status was indeed extraordinary. However, with the Lin familys status, it was not something that ordinary people couldpare to. Young Master Lin nced at Ling Xi and said sarcastically, Ye Nuan, youre really something. You havent changed your man for so long. Dont tell me youre not cold anymore when youre with him? Ye Nuans eyes were filled with anger. Before she could say anything, Ling Xi smiled coldly. I think youre here to die. You Who allowed you to speak to me like this? Do you know what kind of asion this is? Its the birthday party of the young master of the Ling family. The Ling family and our Lin family are family friends! Young Master Lin said proudly. Is that so? I really dont know. Ling Xi replied indifferently. As he spoke, he walked to Ye Nuans side and protected her. This action caused Ye Nuan to be slightly stunned. Was this man protecting her? Young Master Lin looked at Ling Xis nonchnt attitude and became angry. You stole my womanst time. Lets settle this score! Yes, we should do a good calction. Ling Xi raised his eyebrows and took out his phone. It was a different number. Young Master Linughed sarcastically. What? Are you still thinking of calling for reinforcements? Let me tell you, its already toote As Young Master Lin was speaking, he heard Ling Xi speaking into the phone, President Lin, your son is causing trouble at my birthday party. What do you think we should do? Young Master Lin did not react for a moment. After a while, his eyes widened. Ling Xi smiled coldly. President Lin, the thing I cant ept the most is an apology. Your son seems to be very capable. It seems that Ive underestimated the Lin Groups strength. In that case, the Lin Group doesnt need to work with Young Master Ling anymore. Our cooperation is canceled. After saying that, Ling Xi kept apologizing and hanging up the phone. Chapter 994: Using a Kiss as a Birthday Present? Chapter 994: Using a Kiss as a Birthday Present? Young Master Lins expression changed drastically. He looked at Ling Xi in disbelief. You, you You are Young Master Ling? Dont fool me! How could you be Before Young Master Lin could finish his sentence, his phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he felt terrible. He picked up the phone and called out, Dad. Then, he was scolded. Young Master Lin hung up the phone and looked at Ling Xi, who was on the verge of tears. Young Master Ling, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I didnt know who you were. I was blind! Young Master Ling snorted and held Ye Nuans hand. This woman is mine. Do you have a problem with that? No, no! If you dare to nder her reputation again, it wont be as simple as a project cooperation. The Lin family can forget about having a foothold in Hillford, understand? Ling Xi warned with narrowed eyes. I understand, I understand. Can Young Master Ling give the Lin Group a chance regarding the project? Young Master Lin pleaded. We can give the Lin family a chance Just as Young Master Lins face lit up, he heard Ling Xis next words, In my next life. Ling Xi held Ye Nuans hand and walked all the way to the side hall. There was no one around. Ye Nuan finally looked up at him and was just about to say thank you when she was pinned against the wall by Ling Xi. Ling Xi looked at her. How are you going to thank me? Should he devote himself to her? How about marrying me?
Ye Nuan was originally filled with gratitude, but after hearing Ling Xis words, her gratitude disappeared. She nudged him. If youre helping me just to get my gratitude, then Im going to disappoint you. Ill only thank you verbally! Thats not necessarily true! Even if you dont devote yourself to me, there are other ways to thank me. As Ling Xi spoke, she lowered her head and kissed Ye Nuans lips. Ye Nuans entire body stiffened. Although this was not the first time he had kissed her, it still caught her off guard. She struggled, but the man kissed her even deeper. Ye Nuan, we agreed that we could kiss and not resist! He kissed her deeply again after saying that. Ye Nuan wanted to resist but was powerless. What did he mean by saying that they could get married? He suggested that they could not only hold hands but also kiss when they were together. Did she agree? Ye Nuan was still struggling at first, but gradually, she felt her breathing be heavier and heavier, and her body softened. After a while, Ling Xi let go of her in satisfaction. Looking at her slightly red lips, the corners of his mouth curled up. Then, the corners of her lips curled up and she narrowed her eyes at him. You saw a woman pestering me just now. How dare you sneak away? Have you forgotten your mission? Ye Nuan bit her lip and red at him angrily. Was he ming her after kissing her forcefully? Ling Xi wanted to settle the score with her, but when he saw her red face and big eyes staring at him, looking extremely cute, he didnt want to argue with him. Wheres my birthday present? he asked. Ye Nuan was still in a state of anger. Hearing his words, she replied in a bad mood, I didnt prepare anything. What is it? Not prepared? If your girlfriend doesnt prepare a birthday present for your boyfriend, Ye Nuan, do you want to die? Ling Xi was unhappy. Indeed, Ye Nuan wasnt prepared. This man didntck anything, and they werent really boyfriend and girlfriend. She didnt need to spend this money. Since you didnt prepare anything, lets use a kiss to pay for it. Ling Xi said. .. Wait! Ye Nuan stopped him in time. Im ready! I was just joking with you.
Chapter 995: Giving You the Position of Young Madam Ling Chapter 995: Giving You the Position of Young Madam Ling Ling Xi was skeptical. Then, he saw her open her clutch and take out aLittle thing. Ye Nuan braced herself and gave Ling Xi the only thing in her bag that she could give away. When she bought clothes previously, she gave Ling Xi a keychain as a gift. As it was from a big brand, the quality of the gift was also very good. It was eptable to give it to someone else. However, the little yellow duck was a little too childish. It really didnt match Ling Xi. But if she didnt prepare a present, then she didnt. Where was she supposed to get a birthday present at thest minute? In order to prevent her from being forced to kiss again, he could only lie. He frowned and took it from her hand. What is this? Keychain. You can hang it on your car keys. Ye Nuan looked at Ling Xis disdainful gaze and reached out to snatch the little yellow duck. If you dont like it, then forget it. Ill keep it for myself! Is there a gift that can be returned after it is given? Ling Xi held the little yellow duck tightly in his hand. The corners of his mouth curled up, and his mood became very good. Although it looks cheap, Ill reluctantly ept it. I just happen tock a keychain! Ye Nuan was speechless.
Was this young master speaking the truth? He actually took a fancy to a little yellow ducks keychain? Didnt he feel that it was childish and embarrassing to hang it? Or could it be that a man like him had the heart of a girl? Ling Xi looked at Ye Nuans eyes and thought that she was reluctant to give him the present. He put the little yellow duck into his pocket and lowered his head to kiss her. While Ye Nuan was still in a daze, he said, He held her hand and led her to the hall. Youre not allowed to run away at thest minute next time, understand? Continue apanying me to deal with the guests. Ye Nuan pursed her lips. This man was really addicted to taking advantage of her. He had already epted the gift and still kissed her! Young Master Ling, Ye Nuan looked at him and asked, with me by your side, you wont be able to find a girlfriend among all the beauties. Why dont I leave first? Ling Xis eyes darkened. I have you. Why would I need to find someone else? Im not that fickle! But didnt your parents urge you to get married? Im not your marriage partner. Seeing Ye Nuans eagerness to distance herself from him, Ling Xis good mood disappeared in an instant. He said in a very bad tone, Do you really not want to be promoted, or are you pretending to be reserved? You dont have to hide your thoughts. Whatever you want from me, you can try your best to get it. Maybe if you work hard, Ill give you the position of Young Madam Ling! Ye Nuan was speechless. Young Master Ling, I didnt think too much about it. I allow you to think too much! .. Forget it, I wont fight with this young master. He can think whatever he wants. Anyway, it has nothing to do with her. Ling Xis expression softened a little when she saw that Ye Nuan was no longer refuting her. This woman knew her ce! At the birthday party, Ling Xi immediately dismissed Ye Nuan as his fiance and rejected all the youngdies who wanted to get close to him. Ye Nuan didnt mind. He was using her to deal with trouble, and she was using his influence to make her career go smoothly. There was nothing wrong with each taking what they needed. After they were done, Ye Nuan was about to leave when Ling Xi stopped her. Ill send you back. No need. Ill take a taxi back myself. I said Ill send you! Wasnt it natural for a boyfriend to send his girlfriend? If you continue to be reserved with me, I wont leave tonight. Lets go get a room directly. Ling Xi held her hand and walked out without saying a word.
Ye Nuan was speechless. As expected, this mans thoughts could not be disobeyed at all. She had to follow his wishes. Chapter 996: In Love (1) Chapter 996: In Love (1) At the end of the year, Qiao Mu invited Chi Xia and Ye Nuan to go shopping. Baby Guan was called back to Hong Kong early by her family, while Chi Xia and Ye Nuan were locals and were not in a hurry to go home. When Qiao Mu was about to leave, she saw Li Yan reading some documents on the sofa in the living room. She rolled her eyes. Uncle, cant you have some spare time? He either goes to thepany or works at home. Hes like an old man. Li Yan raised his eyebrows and waved at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu obediently leaned over, and he said arrogantly, Which old man do you think will be as brave and mighty as me? Were you not satisfied with my performancest night? Looks like I have to reflect on myself. Otherwise, I wont be able to satisfy you. Qiao Mu was speechless. This hooligan! Was she referring to her living conditions? He didnt say that he was really old! She red at him with a red face and stood up to walk out. Im ignoring you. Im going out! After Qiao Mu left, Li Yan looked at the document for a while and thought about her words. In the end, he put the document down. This little thing had said more than once that he was old. There was a gap in age to begin with. His life had always been very monotonous. When she was by his side, he would apany her to do what she liked. When it came to him, he spent most of his time at thepany and at home. Now that the little woman went out shopping, if he continued to stay at home, the gap between them would be wider and wider. Li Yan opened his WeChat and saw that someone had sent a message in the group early in the morning. At this time, Lu Jingzhi was bored out of his mind. Without Baby Guan around, he felt that the house was empty and he was not used to it at all. So he sent a message in the group to ask if he had any ns and if he wanted toe out for a gathering.
Other than him, the other three men seemed to have women apanying them, so he did not expect these guys who valued women over friends to respond to him. At this moment, Li Yan sent a message.Forty minutester, at the sports center. Lu Jingzhi was stunned for a moment before he replied uninterestedly, Big brother, can we organize some other activities? Im toozy to exercise. What other activities do you think youre interested in? Li Yan asked. Lu Jingzhi thought for a moment. Shall we y cards? Are you an old man? Arent you afraid of bing an old man if you stay in the house all day? Lu Jingzhi was speechless. He was only 28 years old. He had nothing to do with the old man, alright? Then, Su Chen and Ling Xi came out and agreed with Li Yans arrangement. Lu Jingzhi was puzzled. When did these brothers be so loyal? It was such a beautiful day and they did not need to apany a woman? However, an hourter, when the four men were ying golf at the indoor golf course, Lu Jingzhi found out that all the women had gone to a party. They were all alone and only remembered their brother! At this moment, Qiao Mu, Chi Xia, and Ye Nuan were shopping in the mall. The women were all gathered together, chatting, eating, and shopping. Every time Qiao Mu bought a small item, she would take a photo of it for Li Yan and ask him if it looked good. The reply on the other end was always a mechanical one:It looks good. Dont tell me you dont find anything ugly? Qiao Mu asked back. As long as you like it. Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mu angrily. Are you out shopping with us or with your man? Should we retreat and let you find your man? Qiao Mu chuckled. Dont be so petty. You guys can also send messages to your men! Chapter 997: In Love (2) Chapter 997: In Love (2) No man. Chi Xia and Ye Nuan answered in unison, causing Qiao Mu to roll her eyes and look at them with disdain. On the other side, Li Yan was ying basketball. His phone was in his hand and would ring from time to time. He took a look and replied, causing the other three men to be very dissatisfied. Big Brother, are you here to y basketball or y with your phone? They had only been apart for an entire morning. Did they not need to keep sending messages? Its not like were in love. Brother, can you understand us? Lu Jingzhi asked. Li Yan looked up and said indifferently, You guys dont have the ability to take down a woman, so youreining here. Do you expect me to sympathize with you? ..Did he have to say such vicious words? Su Chen leaned back in his chair and saidzily, Big Brother is right. If you have the ability, you should work hard on women! Second Brother, you make it sound like youve taken Second Sister-inw down. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. How do you know I didnt get it? Lu Jingzhi was skeptical. He and Ling Xi looked at each other. Did that mean that they were the only ones who had yet to seed? This was too embarrassing!
After all, Ling Xi and Ye Nuan had not been together for long, so it was normal that they did not seed. However, Lu Jingzhi had been living with Baby Guan all day, so there were many opportunities for him to take advantage of her, but that woman just did not take the bait! Ling Xi looked at Su Chen and asked curiously, Second brother, can you share your experience? What do you want to know? Su Chen asked. Ling Xi thought about it. How do I know if that woman cares about you? Its simple. Youre sick. You just have to see if that woman cares about you. Su Chen taught her by example. Thinking about it, when he was sick, Chi Xia took care of him because she cared about him, right? That woman had some conscience! Ling Xi remembered Su Chens words. It seemed like he had to find time to test Ye Nuan. Li Yan was still texting Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu asked him what he was doing, and Li Yan replied that he was ying golf. He thought that the little woman would praise him for actively participating in outdoor activities, but the reply he received was full of disdain. Qiao Mu: Golfing is the specialty of middle-aged and elderly people. Uncle, youve already entered the ranks of middle-aged and elderly people so quickly? The corners of Li Yans mouth twitched. He threw the pole away. The other three men looked at him in confusion. He said nonchntly, Lets y billiards over there. Its too boring for middle-aged and elderly people to y golf. Su Chen was speechless. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Ling Xi was speechless. What was this! Wasnt he the one who suggested ying golf? After switching to the billiard ball, Li Yan sent a message to Qiao Mu to report the situation. He then added, If you dare tough at me again, Ill teach you a lesson tonight! Qiao Mu and the other two were currently resting in a cafe. She looked at her phone and smiled foolishly as she replied, I just think that basketball and basketball are the sports for young people. Theyre especially eye-catching for girls. Theyre so cool! Have you peeked at other people ying basketball in school? Qiao Mu sensed that a certain man was starting to be petty again, so she hurriedly said, Im looking forward to seeing you y basketball. Youll definitely be so handsome. Ive never seen you before! Ill have the chance to satisfy you in the future. When youre not around, you want me to y basketball and catch other womens eyeballs? Wont you be jealous if others see how handsome your man is? Qiao Mu: Right, right, right. Uncle is really thoughtful. You should continue ying with your activities for the middle-aged and elderly.
Li Yan was speechless. As Li Yan was sending a message, the three men beside him could not hold it in any longer and took out their phones. Chapter 998: In Love (3) Chapter 998: In Love (3) Chi Xia was about to say something when she received a message from Su Chen. What are you doing? It was rare that Chi Xia did not receive a message from Su Chen. It was a casual question. Before she left in the morning, she had told him that she was going shopping today. Now, he was asking her what she was doing. What did he mean? She thought about it and replied,Whats the matter? You dont have anything to say to me? Say what? Su Chen looked at the three words and frowned. This woman wanted to chat with her, but she didnt cooperate at all! How could others chat so passionately, but when it came to him, he was unusually cold. There had never been any warmth between them. It had always been cold. What are we having for dinner? he asked angrily.
Chi Xia could not understand Su Chens thoughts. He was looking for her because he wanted to ask her what they were having for dinner. Young Master Su, Ill cook whatever you eat first, Chi Xia asked calmly. Lets go to the supermarket after youre done. Chi Xia: I dont think so. What do you want to eat? Ill go buy it for you. Or, I can ask the delivery man to send it to our house. I said, lets go together! Su Chen sent the message and quickly added, If I dont go and see whats there to eat, I dont know what to eat. Chi Xia was speechless. Alright, she had always known that this man was difficult to please. At this moment, Qiao Mu stopped texting Li Yan and told him to have fun. She looked up and saw Chi Xia texting. Curious, she leaned over and saw Su Chens name on the chat box. She smiled ambiguously. Xiaxia, didnt you say you dont have a man? Chi Xia put her phone away nonchntly. Im discussing work with my boss. Qiao Mu pouted. Still stubborn! Can the two of you stop showing off your love in front of me? Ye Nuan said helplessly. Im alone. After Ye Nuan finished speaking, her phone rang. She opened her message and saw a message from Ling Xi:Buy whatever you like when shopping. Ill reimburse you when youe back. Ye Nuan could totally imagine Ling Xis arrogant and rich expression. She didnt reply and looked up to meet Qiao Mus gaze. Hurry up and reply to Young Master Ling, or else hell be unhappy, Qiao Mu smiled. What does his unhappiness have to do with me? Ye Nuan didnt think much of it. Youve already met your parents, but youre still not rted? .. That was just a misunderstanding! Ye Nuans face darkened.
On the other side, Ling Xi didnt get a reply and continued to send messages unhappily, Ye Nuan, if you dont reply to this message, try it! Ye Nuan sighed and could only reply, I have my own money. You dont have to reimburse me. Soon, Ling Xi replied, Its only right for a boyfriend to pay for his girlfriend. Why are you embarrassed? Ye Nuan was speechless.
This man kept talking about their rtionship. He seemed to have forgotten that they were not really a couple! Ye Nuan put her phone away and stopped replying to Ling Xi. Since Li Yan had stopped texting Qiao Mu, he turned around and saw three men hugging their phones. He said coldly, If you want to y with your phones, go home and y. Why are you ying basketball with your phones all day? Su Chen was speechless. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Ling Xi was speechless. No matter what, he was the one in the right. Who asked him to be the big brother? Chapter 999: In Love (4) Chapter 999: In Love (4) Ling Xi stood up and walked to the billiard table. He held the cue and leaned on the table. He felt something pressing against his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was his car key. The car key didnt take up much space, but a round yellow duck did. He quickly put the birthday present that Ye Nuan had given him to good use and hung it on his car keys. He casually ced the car keys on the table beside him. The little yellow duck was so obvious that it was difficult not to notice it. Lu Jingzhi picked it up and shook it before he could not help butugh out loud. Xiao Si, what is this? Ling Xi bent over and yed a shot, then replied nonchntly, Whats with your eyes? Cant you tell that youre a duck? Ducks? Hahaha, its fine if you hang a pendant on your car key, but what do you mean by hanging a duck? Are you trying to hint to others that you have the tendency to be a duck? Ling Xi was speechless. Ling Xi snatched the car keys from Lu Jingzhis hands and looked at him with disdain. This is a birthday present from my woman. I think youre jealous of me, arent you? You really think too highly of yourself. A yellow duck is as tacky as it can be. You think its a treasure? I wonder what kind of mentality the person who gave you this thing has.
Ling Xis expression didnt look too good. She shook the little yellow duck at Su Chen. Second Brother, do you think this gift is very tacky? No matter what, it was a token of his appreciation, right? She wants to give me something to carry around. Its quite romantic, right? Su Chen nced at it indifferently. I dont think so. It was originally a luxury car key, but the little yellow duck suddenly lowered its grade. Its very tasteless. Ling Xi was speechless. She might have done it on purpose. She was worried that someone would approach me with my car keys, so she used this method to chase away the flowers and nts around me. Su Chen nced at Ling Xi with an expression that said, Youre thinking too much. Ling Xi did not give up. He looked at Li Yan again. Big Brother, they dont understand. Surely you can understand, right? As expected, Li Yan did not disappoint her. He nodded generously. Indeed, its a token of my appreciation. Ling Xi was overjoyed. Just as he felt the excitement of meeting a confidant, he heard Li Yan continue,However, a womans feelings dont have to be epted unconditionally. Sometimes, it depends on the situation. Ling Xi was speechless. So, none of these people understood his feelings? Ling Xi snorted. I know, you guys are just jealous. I wont talk to you guys anymore! You must have never received a gift from a woman! Her words provoked Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi. It was true that they had never received a gift from their woman. Especially Su Chen. It was also his birthday, but Chi Xia did not give him any present. If she had to give him anything, she would have given him a bunch of cold medicine. However, to Li Yan, these were all verymon things. He had received many of these little things, such as couple phone case, cartoon cute ones, and insisted that he match them with her. Did she not think about how he, a grown man, would still have any face when he went out with those little boys things? However, he was smarter than Ling Xi. He knew how to reject Qiao Mu without making her unhappy, but Ling Xi was truly stupid. Hepletely enjoyed receiving this gift. At this moment, Lu Jingzhi said, Little Four, is this duck really a birthday present from your woman? Why is the word gift printed under the duck? Chapter 1000: In Love (5) Chapter 1000: In Love (5) Lu Jingzhis words made Ling Xis expression change. He grabbed the little yellow duck and looked at it. Sure enough, there were two small words at the bottom that were not very obvious: Gift! In an instant, Ling Xi was no longer happy. This woman actually used a gift to send her off! Lu Jingzhiughed out loud and patted Ling Xis shoulder. Little Four, your woman is really thoughtful! Ling Xi was speechless. In the cafe, the three women were chatting when Ye Nuan received a message:Woman, just you wait! Ye Nuan was baffled. She thought that she didnt reply to the message and made Young Master Ling unhappy, so she ignored her. After leaving the cafe, they were not far from Li Yans ce, so Qiao Mu suggested that they go over and take a look. Chi Xia remembered that Su Chen had said that they would go to the supermarket together, so she had no objections. On the other hand, Ye Nuan didnt want to look for Ling Xi. She wanted to leave, but Qiao Mu forcefully dragged her into the car.
Li Yan was in the independent hall of the billiard hall. There was a house number, so it was easy to find him. However, when Qiao Mu and the others pushed open the door and entered, they saw a scene that shocked her. Li Yan was standing next to the pool table, and there was a sexy woman standing next to him. She was wearing super hot shorts, a sexy camisole top, ck stockings, and ten-centimeter high heels. The woman pouted her sexy buttocks and ced one hand on the billiard table. She posed coquettishly and leaned over to Li Yan. Sir, its so boring for you guys to y alone. Do you need a sparring partner? When Qiao Mu saw this scene, she flew into a rage! Fortunately, she came in time. Otherwise, her man would have been snatched away! However, Qiao Mus worries were unnecessary. Her man had always been pure and chaste. If a woman took the initiative to approach him, he would usually end up in a very miserable state. But She realized that Li Yan did not have the reaction he should have when facing a sexy beauty! Actually, Li Yan wanted to chase her away, but he happened to see Qiao Muing. He turned his gaze over and curled his lips, waiting for her to settle it. Qiao Mu gritted her teeth. She absolutely could not tolerate the act of openly snatching her man! She took off her thick coat and strode towards Li Yan. Although her clothes were not considered sexy, she relied on her looks! When the sparring partner saw that Li Yan did not make any move, but the corners of his mouth were curled up. He seemed to be in a good mood. She immediately understood. She took a step forward and was about to stick close to him when a figure suddenly took a step forward. Qiao Mu walked straight to Li Yan and leaned against his chest. She ced her small hand on his firm chest and caressed it gently. Handsome, I dont know how to y pool. Can you teach me? Li Yan did not expect this little woman to do this. She was openly loving him, which was very beneficial to him. How should I teach him? he asked with a smile. Can I teach you step by step? As she spoke, Qiao Mu did not forget to throw Li Yan a flirtatious look. Li Yan hooked his arm around Qiao Mus waist and pinched her twice. Alright. Qiao Mu felt an itch on her waist, and she secretly red at a certain man while maintaining their intimate actions. When the sparring partner saw that a woman had stolen her business, she was instantly unhappy. Who are you? I came over first! Qiao Mu turned around and nced at him. Whats the use of youing over first? Look at this pair of handsome and extraordinary men. One look and I can tell that they are skilled in billiards. They need you to practice with them. With such good skills, of course they have to teach me so that I wont let down his talent.
Chapter 1001: In Love (6) Chapter 1001: In Love (6) As Qiao Mu spoke, she looked at Li Yan questioningly. Handsome, dont you agree? Yes. Then can you ask this eyesore to leave? Auntie A single form of address was enough to anger a person to death. Li Yans eyes were smiling as he replied indifferently, Alright. Forget it. If she likes to watch from the side, then let her be. You can teach me how to y now. Qiao Mu was too immersed in her role and hadpletely turned into a bad girl who had hooked up with a handsome guy. She leaned against Li Yans chest and waited for him to teach her step-by-step. Li Yan did not disappoint her and handed the cue stick to Qiao Mu. Then, he hooked one hand around her waist and held her hand with the other. He told her what pose she should assume and how to hold the cue stick. Their actions were extremely intimate.
In fact, Li Yan had taught Qiao Mu how to y pool before. Although her skills were not that great, she still knew the most basic knowledge. However, since there were visitors, she pretended not to know. He had originally wanted to use this method to provoke the woman who was spying on Li Yan. However, that woman seemed to be addicted to watching the show. She stood where she was and did not intend to leave. Qiao Mu could only continue acting. After Li Yan set her up, she hit a ball and received Li Yans praise. Qiao Mu was so excited that she threw her cue stick aside and hooked her arms around Li Yans neck. She gratefully kissed his lips. It was just a light kiss, but it quickly left his lips. She pretended to be shy and leaned against his chest. Li Yan pursed his lips. He felt an itch on his lips and did not continue with the kiss. At this moment, Qiao Mu looked at him with her big, watery eyes. Handsome, to thank you, can I treat you to dinner tonight? Alright. Can youe to my house after dinner? Sure. In just a short while, the two of them had sessfully put on a show. The woman at the side had an unwilling look on her face. She should have been the one who had seeded! However, seeing that he had seeded, she could only leave indignantly. Qiao Mu stood on her tiptoes and watched the womans figure disappear through Li Yans shoulder. She snorted. Shes still too inexperienced to fight with me! At this moment, loud and soft noises suddenly came from behind him. Qiao Mus expression stiffened. She turned around and saw the few people who had been watching the show earlierughing nonstop, including Chi Xia and Ye Nuan. Ling Xi smiled. Sister-inw, youve shown me your power. No wonder big brother never lets women get close to him. So theres a tigress at home! Qiao Mu was speechless. Lu Jingzhi could not help but say, Women are too scary. They can kill their love rival in seconds just by chatting andughing. Its really exciting! Qiao Mu was speechless.
Su Chen smiled. Although he didnt say anything, his expression said it all. Chi Xia and Ye Nuan, who were standing at the side, couldnt stopughing. Chi Xia gave Qiao Mu a thumbs up and secretly praised her. Qiao Mu instantly felt her face burn. She was too immersed in her character just now and actually forgot that someone was there! She buried her face in Li Yans chest. How embarrassing!
However, a certain man was alsoughing. She red at him fiercely and used her eyes to warn him not tough anymore! Did he think that she had not lost enough face? Li Yan pulled Qiao Mu into his embrace and wiped away the smile on his face. His cold eyes swept across the few people who wereughing non-stop. He shot them a warning look, and the three men immediately restrained their expressions. Chapter 1002: 1004-Easy to Fool Like a Child Chapter 1002: Chapter 1004-Easy to Fool Like a Child Ling Xi quickly smiled. We didnt mean to joke. We really admire sister-inw! Of course. Otherwise, I wouldnt have be your sister-inw. Li Yan led Qiao Mu to the sofa and sat down. Compared to Qiao Mus shyness, he appeared to be indifferent. Ling Xi was about to say something when he saw Ye Nuan standing at the door. His expression changed immediately. This woman still dared to appear in front of him! Ling Xi stood up. I have something to do. Ill be leaving first. Ling Xi then walked towards Ye Nuan and held her hand as they left. At this moment, Chi Xia was standing alone. She looked at Su Chen and was about to say something when Su Chen stood up and walked towards her. Im leaving too, Su Chen said. When Su Chen walked to the door, he realized that Chi Xia was still standing behind him. He turned around and nced at her. Arent you leaving? Chi Xia followed him with her head lowered. They had all left with their women, leaving Lu Jingzhi alone.
Lu Jingzhi had no choice but to stand up and leave alone. After a while, everyone left. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. Did I ruin your n? Li Yans lips curled up. I dont mind being interrupted by you. Now that hes gone, I can teach you how to y pool step by step. Qiao Mu red at him. Indecent! C After Ling Xi and Ye Nuan left, she had a cold expression on her face. When she got into the car, the atmosphere in the car was very bad. Ye Nuan didnt know what was going on. She thought for a moment and said, Young Master Ling, I was shopping just now and didnt see your message in time, so I didnt reply. Ling Xi couldnt help but nce at her. Where did you buy my birthday present? Ye Nuan was stunned. She did not understand why he suddenly asked this. Ling Xi took out his car keys and repeated, Where did you buy it? Only then did Ye Nuan see that the little yellow duck she had given him was hanging on his car keys. She had given him the keychain to deal with him, but she did not expect him to use it! He What was he thinking? Ling Xi looked at Ye Nuans stunned expression and snorted coldly. Why are you silent? Are you embarrassed to say that this keychain is a gift? ? At this moment, Ye Nuan finally understood why he was so angry! So, he knew that she was giving him a free gift! Ye Nuan suddenly felt guilty. If she told him that she didnt prepare a gift, this man would definitely be very angry. After thinking for a while, she lowered her head and said, Young Master Ling, this is a gift that I gave after spending a certain amount of money in the mall. I originally nned to keep it for myself. I really like this little thing, but when I thought about your birthday, I didnt know what to give you, so I gave you what I like. If you think its a gift thats not presentable, then you can return it to me. Ye Nuan spoke with sincerity, and Ling Xis expression softened with just one sentence.
Is it true? he asked in disbelief. Youd better not fool me! Its true! Ye Nuan looked up at him. Its fine if you dont believe me. I dont know how to make you believe me either. ? At this moment, the car stopped by the roadside. Ling Xi turned sideways to look at Ye Nuan, hooked her chin, and kissed her lips. Then, his tone became much better. Ill trust you this once. Im sure you wont dare to lie to me. Ye Nuan was speechless.
He suddenly realized that this Young Master Ling was as easy to fool as a child! Chapter 1003: Theyre Not a Couple Chapter 1003: Theyre Not a Couple Ling Xi continued to drive. My mom wants you toe to my house for dinner before the New Year. Huh? Ye Nuan was stunned. Why should I go to your house for dinner? Ling Xi frowned. Whats with that expression? Its just a meal. It wont make you lose a piece of meat. Besides, my parents think that youre their daughter-inw. Its normal for them to want me to bring you home for a meal. But Im not their daughter-inw! Ye Nuan subconsciously replied, causing Ling Xis expression to turn cold. Of course I know. I just want you to act and help me deal with them. As my girlfriend, shouldnt you take up this responsibility? Ye Nuan thought about it and felt that it did make sense. However, it waspletely different from the consensus she had just reached with him when she asked her to lie to his parents. Without waiting for Ye Nuan to say anything, Ling Xi said, Its settled then. Youd better straighten out your position. Sometimes, you dont have to be so self-conscious! Ling Xi felt that what annoyed him about this woman was that she was too self-aware. She always tried to distance herself from him. His words were already very suggestive. If she still didnt get it, he really wanted to pry open her head and see what was inside! C
At the same time, Su Chen was driving while Chi Xia sat in the passenger seat. Ever since they got into the car, the two of them had notmunicated much. Chi Xia was already used to this kind of atmosphere. It was definitely not wrong to speak less in front of this man. She thought about how the man beside her was smiling like a spring breeze in the billiard hall just now. She had always thought that this man did not like to smile. When he was with her, he would smile sometimes, but it was not as easy as he had thought. He was smiling veryfortably just now. He looked much more handsome than when he had a straight face. Looking at his smile, it even made her a littleHe was tempted. At this thought, Chi Xia shook her head violently. Her gaze met Su Chens eyes and she was stunned. Then, she heard the man say, Is your neck cramping? What are you shaking? Chi Xia awkwardly changed the topic and asked, Um, where are we going? Didnt I say that were going to the supermarket to buy things? Su Chen said calmly. Chi Xia thought for a moment. Young Master Su, why dont you go to the supermarket while I go back to prepare? Just buy whatever you want to eat. It felt weird to go shopping with him. They were not a couple After Chi Xia finished speaking, Su Chen red at her coldly. So, you want me to pick my own things and carry my own bags? You, the nanny, want to go home and enjoy yourself? Chi Xia was speechless. Alright, she was thinking too much. If he brought her along, she would only be a coolie. Chi Xia followed Su Chen into the supermarket. The supermarket at the end of the year was filled with joy. There were all kinds of new year goods on disy. Su Chen walked in front and looked like he was wandering aimlessly. It was obvious that the young master rarely came to the supermarket. He did not even know where the vegetable section was. Chi Xia pushed the cart and rushed in front of Su Chen, blocking his way and reminding him, Young Master Su, we need to go to the other end to buy food. If you go straight, youll find a ce that sells daily necessities. Why didnt you say so earlier? Su Chen turned around and silently took the shopping cart from Chi Xias hands. Chi Xia was stunned for a moment before she quietly let go of the cart without saying anything.
When they arrived at the fruit section, Chi Xia asked Su Chen what he wanted to eat. Su Chen said lightly, Buy whatever you want to eat. Chi Xia was speechless. If that was the case, then why did he have toe personally? [Todays update]
Chapter 1004: Are You Sure Youre Not In Love With Me? Chapter 1004: Are You Sure Youre Not In Love With Me? Chi Xia did not know what Su Chen liked to eat. During her time as his nanny, he did not seem to be picky at all. He would eat whatever she gave him, so she bought the fruits that she liked. During the new year, fruits became more expensive. Anyway, Su Chen was not short of money. Chi Xia only picked expensive and delicious food, but she was usually reluctant to buy them. The only benefit of being his nanny was that she would take care of his food. She would only eat whatever she wanted. However, when Chi Xia picked out a big watermelon, Su Chen rejected her suggestion. Out-of-season fruits cant be eaten. Chi Xia was speechless. Alright, since he said that she was not allowed to eat, she would not eat. She saw that the strawberries were quite fresh. Just as she looked at them, she heard the man say, Ive applied ayer of poison. Are you trying to poison me to death? She was just looking at it, she didnt say she wanted to buy it! Then, she stared at the durian beside her. Durians were the most expensive in this season. As she approached the durian, she heard the man beside her speak. Do you think I would like to eat this kind of thing? Chi Xia was speechless.
Good! If he didnt like it, he wouldnt buy it! But who was the one who said to buy what she liked? However, he stopped her from buying anything! After that, Chi Xia picked a few oranges. Worried that she would be stopped again, she subconsciously looked at the man beside her, but he red back at her. Why are you looking at me when youre shopping? You cant get enough of me every day. Are you sure you havent fallen in love with me? ? Chi Xia was speechless. She had nothing more to say to him. Blushing at Su Chens words, Chi Xia buried her head in the selection of oranges and weighed them. After a round of shopping, most of the fruits were rejected by Su Chen. Chi Xia saw a bag of imported red grapes and ced it in the shopping cart when Su Chen was not paying attention. Su Chen lowered his head and nced at her. Did this woman think he was blind? However, he didnt say anything. She clearly thought of herself as a nanny, but how was her behavior like a nanny? How could a nanny be so bold? After choosing the fruits, they went to the vegetable section. Su Chen really did not have many requirements for food. Actually, he was used to everything that Chi Xia cooked, even though the taste was average. When he saw the water spinach, he remembered that Chi Xia had made it for him before and said, Buy some of this. Chi Xia nodded and took the bag to choose the water convolvulus. Su Chen stood at the side and watched silently. This woman looked quite virtuous, as if she was focused on buying groceries for her man. A couple saw them and the boy said enviously, Look at how virtuous the girl is. Look at you. You cant even be bothered to do the shopping yourself. Youre like an empress dowager ordering me around. I want to be like that man and do nothing. The girl snorted. What do you know? This means that the man doesnt love his girlfriend enough. If he did, he wouldnt be willing to let her do these things. Chi Xias hands stopped moving as she listened to the couples conversation. She looked a little awkward. She wanted to say that they were not a couple, so there was no love between them. Chi Xia hurriedly went to weigh her body while Su Chen stood at the side with a confused expression. Then, he heard the conversation of the young couple buying vegetables beside him again.
Darling, Im going back to my hometown the day after tomorrow. I cant bear to leave you. Baby, I cant bear to leave you either. Why dont we not go home so early? How can I do that? Ive already booked the ne tickets. Its hard to book the year-end tickets. If I dont leave the day after tomorrow, I wont be able to leave. Then dont leave. Spend the New Year with me.
No way. Who doesnt go home to apany their parents during the New Year? Chapter 1005: Did She Not Want to Spend New Years Eve With Him That Much? Chapter 1005: Did She Not Want to Spend New Years Eve With Him That Much? Chi Xia came back from the weighing machine and asked Su Chen, What else do you want to eat? Su Chen nced at Chi Xia and pointed at the potatoes beside him. Chi Xia then lowered her head and picked up two potatoes. Su Chen asked, Why did you only buy two? Its almost the New Year. You have to go home. Itll be a waste if you cant finish all the food you bought. Chi Xia said casually. How did you know I was going home for the New Year? Su Chens words stunned Chi Xia. She looked up at him. Are you going to spend the New Year here? Arent you going home to celebrate the new year with your family? Then, Chi Xia remembered that Su Chen and his mother were not on good terms. But even if they werent, they couldnt not be together during the New Year. Chi Xia could already guess the result when she saw Su Chens pale face. He didnt even spend the holidays with his family, so he must be alone during the New Year.
Sometimes, she felt that this man was only morous on the surface and did not even have the most basic kinship. Chi Xia was looking down at the dishes when she heard the man beside her say, When are youing home? Chi Xia had wanted to tell Su Chen about this, but since he had mentioned it, she said directly, Young Master Su, the school is on holiday. When will you give me a holiday? My mom keeps calling me to rush me back to buy New Years goods with her. Hearing this, Su Chens eyes darkened and he said coldly, You can go back now. Such a straightforward answer stunned Chi Xia. A hint of joy shed across her eyes. Before she could savor it, she heard the mans voice again, Five thousand a day. You can take a few days off and deduct a few days worth of money. Chi Xia was speechless. 5,000 a day! How could he be such a scammer! One week of leave was equivalent to a months sry? Chi Xia frowned. Young Master Su, do you mean that you wont give me a break for the New Year? You want me to spend the new year with you? If you want, I dont mind. Su Chen said. Of course not! Chi Xia replied subconsciously. After that, she noticed that Su Chens expression had changed. It was obvious that he was annoyed by her direct rejection. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Did this woman really not want to be with him? She couldnt wait to leave him as soon as possible! Su Chen pursed his lips and remained silent. Chi Xia smiled and said, Young Master Su, you have to spend the New Year with your family. If I dont go home, my parents will break my legs. Actually, there was no need to exin to him at all. However, it was already very pitiful that he did not have any rtives to apany him during the new year. If he was despised by her again, his self-esteem would be severely damaged. It was better to give him some face. Chi Xias words eased Su Chens expression. He said calmly, Your school has two months of annual leave. Youve taken a years sry from me, and you want me to give you leave ording to your schools holiday? Youre working for me as a nanny, so you have to rest ording to your normal working days. So, from the 30th of December to the 7th of the first month, Ill give you a week off. Su Chens words made Chi Xias mood plummet. Was there a mistake? She was still a student. She didnt want to go home during the holidays and had to wait until the 30th of December? As expected, this mans money was really not that easy to earn! Chi Xias little face was wrinkled as she said in a gentle tone, Young Master Su, you really dont have much leave this time. Can you give me a few more days? I really have to go back early for the new year. Why dont I go back early ande back a few days earlier after the new year?
She could only use this kind of dying tactic. After she got home, she would not care if his words were useful or not. Chapter 1006: Always Liked Taking Benefits Chapter 1006: Always Liked Taking Benefits Su Chen nced at Chi Xia and saw that she was eagerly waiting for his reply. He only gave her a cold look and looked away without saying anything. Even if he could understand why she came home, he was selfish enough to keep her by his side. Chi Xia looked at the mans back as he walked in front of her and gritted her teeth. He was really unreasonable and unlikeable! Su Chen turned around and nced at Chi Xia. What else do you want to buy? Im in a good mood today. You can choose whatever you want. As he spoke, he noticed Chi Xias shocked expression and added, Consider it your year-end New Year gift. Chi Xia was in a good mood when she heard that. This was what a boss should be like! Boss is really generous. I wont stand on ceremony then! She smiled tteringly. Su Chens lips curled into a smile as he watched Chi Xia run to the snacks section and start picking out food. Chi Xia did not care about the price and bought whatever she liked. It was Su Chens fault for being generous. She bought a bunch of things and put them in the shopping cart. Then, she asked Su Chen, Boss, what do you want to eat?
Im not interested in junk food. Chi Xia pursed her lips and continued shopping. After she bought a lot of snacks, she looked at Su Chen with satisfaction. Just as she was about to say that she had bought them, she saw Su Chen looking at her with a confused expression. He curled his lips into a smile with a yful look, as if he was admiring her trash can. Are you done? Su Chen asked. Yes. Chi Xia nodded. Su Chens lips moved. Im giving you New Years goods, and youre nning to buy these things? Then what should I buy? Didnt she say that she could choose whatever she wanted? Other than snacks, she didnt know what else to buy. For example, your parents health supplements, tobo, alcohol, and tea. I told you to bring them home, not keep them for yourself, Su Chen reminded. Chi Xia was speechless. So there was such a meaning. Why didnt she think of it? She thought about it and smiled. Its alright, Young Master Su. My parents dontck those things. Ill just buy some snacks for myself. Su Chen ignored Chi Xia and pushed the cart to the health care products section. The salesperson immediately brought a big gift box to him and said, Sir, are you buying health care products for the elderly? This is a gift box that we specially prepared for the elderly during the new year. Its especially auspicious. There are many products inside, and its suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Su Chen took a look at the gift box. It was big enough and had a lot of health supplements inside. He took it and put it in the shopping cart. When the salesperson met a rich customer, his eyes lit up and he wanted to promote other products. Chi Xia leaned forward and looked at the price of the gift box. She was shocked. It was indeed very auspicious. A gift box of health supplements for 8,880 yuan. This was a huge scam. The salesperson looked as if he had met a sucker. It was probably very rare to sell such an expensive health supplement. Today, he had met someone who had taken the bait. Chi Xia immediately took out the gift box from the shopping cart and stuffed it into the salespersons hands. She said to Su Chen, Young Master Su, this is too expensive. I really dont need it. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Dont you always like to take advantage of me? Since when did you like to save money for me?
What did she mean by taking advantage of him? She was only receiving her basic sry. She deserved it, okay? Besides, she didnt save money for him first. She epted it as long as he bought something useful. However, this health supplement gift box was obviously a scam. Chapter 1007: Only a fool would fall for it Chapter 1007: Only a fool would fall for it Chi Xia coughed lightly. My parents are in good health and never eat these things. You really dont have to buy this. Its a waste of money. The salesperson rolled her eyes at Chi Xias words. The person who spent the money didnt say anything, so why was she rejecting him? Then, the salesperson immediately started promoting the product fervently. Miss, how is this a waste of money? The health of middle-aged and elderly people is starting to decline, so supplements must be taken. Your boyfriend is only willing to spend money because he treats you well. Were not Chi Xia instinctively wanted to exin, but the salesperson did not give her the chance to speak and continued chanting, Sir, this health supplement is very popr. Many young people will buy it as a gift to their elders. When the elders receive these things, they will be much happier after receiving the money. Moreover, it can also replenish the nutrients that the bodycks. This is definitely the best choice for the elders. Chi Xia was speechless. This salesman was too professional. However, the shrewd Young Master Su had actually fallen for it! He still insisted on buying them. In the end, Chi Xia was so anxious that she pushed the cart with one hand and dragged Su Chen with the other as they hurriedly left the health supplements section. Su Chen didnt expect Chi Xia to do something like this. She held his arm and acted very intimately. Usually, she would never act so intimately with him.
Chi Xia was not in the mood to care about this. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she pulled Su Chen to the side and away from the salesperson. She raised her head and noticed Su Chen looking at her with an ambiguous expression. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had overstepped her boundaries. She immediately let go of his hand and took a step back to maintain a distance from him. Su Chen felt the sensation on his arm disappear, and his expression darkened. He looked at her calmly. Why dont you let me buy it? Do you not want to ept my gift? I told you, thats the New Years Eve that I gave you when you worked for me. Its the same as the bonuses my employees get at the end of the year. Chi Xias eyes lit up. Can you give me a bonus too? Su Chen gave her a cold stare. She smiled awkwardly. Im not trying to save you money, but did you look at the price? That gift box is 8,880 yuan. Its obviously a scam! Those health supplements sold separately cost a few hundred yuan per bottle. If they were packaged and carried, the price would increase by a lot. Only a fool would fall for it, okay? I just feel that its too much of a scam. Its better to buy something affordable than those things. Chi Xia tried her best to exin and persuade Su Chen to understand that he was too naive and that money should not be wasted like this. However, she noticed that Su Chen did not look too good. Just as she was confused, she saw his lips curl into a cold smile. Only a fool would fall for it? So, Im that fool? Chi Xia was speechless. God was my witness, she really didnt have a trace of that! However, reality proved that his actions were very stupid! Chi Xiaughed. Young Master Su, dont think too much about it. Im notughing at you at all. I understand what you mean. You want me toe home for the New Year in a dignified manner and not embarrass you, my boss. But lets discuss it and decide on a bonus. Even if I dont get a bonus, can you give me a few more days off? My parents will definitely be very happy. They will definitely be happier than receiving any gifts! Dont even think about it! Su Chens words dispelled all of Chi Xias fantasies. [There are 4 more chapters] Chapter 1008: Meeting Mother Su at the Supermarket Chapter 1008: Meeting Mother Su at the Supermarket Chi Xia had never met such a difficult person. She had to go along with him on everything. If she had a slightly different opinion, he would change his attitude at will. This was simply too much! Lets go settle the bill then, Chi Xia mumbled as she lowered her head. It wasnt easy for me toe to the supermarket and buy your snacks. Are you leaving just like that? Obviously, Su Chen had not calmed down yet. Chi Xia was helpless. Then may I ask, what else do you want to buy? I want to eat fish. Go buy a fish. Chi Xia was speechless. She didnt know how to cook fish! Seeing Chi Xias troubled expression, Su Chen raised an eyebrow. Chi Xia, dont tell me you dont know how to cook fish. Chi Xia did not disappoint and nodded. Su Chen looked at her. As a nanny who earns 30,000 a month, dont you feel ashamed that you dont know how to cook fish?
.. Did he have to insult her like this? Was it embarrassing that she did not know how to cook fish? She secretly red at him. I know how to make it, but I dont know how to wash it. Then lets learn how to cook and sell fish. Su Chen pushed the cart forward, and Chi Xia had no choice but to follow him. As she walked, she passed by a snack section and conveniently took two bags of jerky to put into the shopping cart. Then, she noticed Su Chen looking back at her as if he was mocking her for being useless, and her lips curled into a smile. She suddenly felt so embarrassed! She was walking with her head lowered when the man in front of her suddenly stopped. She did not notice it and bumped into his back. She looked up and saw Su Chen looking ahead. She walked around him and was about to say something when she realized that his expression had darkened. The smile on Su Chens face was reced by coldness as he stared at a certain spot. Chi Xia did not know what he was looking at. She followed his line of sight and saw two people choosing drinks in the opposite bar. One was a middle-aged woman and the other was a young girl. Chi Xia wasnt sure if Su Chen was looking at the two of them. Su Chen turned around as if nothing had happened and was about to leave when the middle-aged woman opposite him saw Su Chen. Chen Chen. The woman changed her tone and walked over. Chi Xia looked at Su Chens expressionless face, then at the middle-aged womans passionate expression and intimate way of addressing him. She had a question in her heart and guessed the other partys identity. The woman walked towards them, but Su Chen did not stop. Seeing Chi Xia standing still, he held her hand and walked in the opposite direction. Chi Xia stared nkly at Su Chen holding her hand. Her palm was a little cold, but his was the opposite. She felt warm when he held her hand. The middle-aged woman seemed to have noticed Chi Xia who was beside Su Chen. She couldnt help but take a few more nces at Chi Xia. Without stopping, she walked to Su Chen and blocked his path. Chen Chen, I havent seen you for a long time. Why did you turn around and leave when you saw Mom? The womans words confirmed her doubts. So it really was Su Chens mother. She knew that Su Chens rtionship with his mother wasnt good, but she didnt expect it to be so bad that he didnt even greet her when they met.
Su Chen said lightly, I didnt see him. He didnt see This man was lying without blinking. He had been staring at Mrs. Su for a long time, but now he said he didnt see her! Mrs. Su seemed to be used to Su Chens attitude. She smiled faintly. I was surprised to see you too. I didnt expect to see you at the supermarket.
Chapter 1009: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me? Chapter 1009: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me? Su Chen was still expressionless as he said, If theres nothing else, Ill leave first. Why are you in such a hurry? Its not easy for us mother and son to meet. As Mother Su spoke, she shifted her gaze to Chi Xia. Although there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, she still maintained her smile. Chen Chen, is thisdy your girlfriend? When Mother Su saw Chi Xia, she was indeed surprised. Her proud son would never appear in a supermarket like this. He was shopping with a woman, so it was obvious that she had a different status. Chi Xia smiled politely when she heard Su Chens mother mention her. She then realized that Su Chen was still holding her hand. She pulled her hand back without saying anything and waited for Su Chen to deny it. However, Su Chen did not deny it. He looked at Mother Su. Is there anything else? We are in a hurry. At this moment, a figure ran over from the side. At the same time, a low cry of surprise sounded, Brother, Mom and I are shopping for New Years Eve. We chose some wine. Would you like toe with us? The person who spoke was a girl around 18 or 19 years old. She looked about the same age as Chi Xia, but she was dressed like a little princess. When she saw Su Chen, her eyes lit up and she was extremely happy. Su Chen nced at the girl coldly and said concisely, I dont have a sister. The smile on the girls face froze. She looked at Mrs. Su, who said in a negotiating tone,Chen Chen, will you spend the new year with us? Its so lively when the family is together. Thats right, Brother. Just spend the New Year with us. Mom is always very worried when youre not around during the holidays. Dont let her worry about you. The girl took the opportunity to speak in a coquettish tone.
Su Chens lips curled up coldly. Your family is having a holiday. Why should I join in the fun? Also, as I said just now, I dont have a sister. I dont need anyone to call me brother. The girl was hit twice in a row and said unhappily,Even if you dont want to admit it, youre still my brother! Mrs. Su red at her daughter and stopped her. Chen Chen, Jiaojiao is insensible. Dont hold it against her. Then, Mrs. Su looked at Chi Xia and smiled. Our familys matters are a littleplicated. Im sorry for the embarrassment, Miss. Please dont take it to heart. With just a few words, Chi Xia understood that this girl called Jiaojiao should be Su Chens half-sister, the child of Su Chens mother after she remarried. However, before Chi Xia could say anything, Su Chen said coldly, You also know that you will beughed at? Then dont say this in front of others. I have ns for the new year. Dont worry about me. That one sentence blocked everything that Mother Su wanted to say. Mother Su looked at Su Chen for a while and sighed. Chen Chen, have you still not forgiven me all these years? You didnt do anything wrong. Why should I forgive you? Mrs. Su didnt know what to say. She said helplessly, Alright then, I wont disturb you guys anymore. Jiaojiao and I will be leaving first. Mother Su nced at Su Chen. Seeing that he was ignoring her, she smiled at Chi Xia. Chi Xia returned the smile politely and then saw the other party turn around and leave in disappointment. From the looks of it, Su Chen was indeed too cold to Mother Su. As a mother, she only wanted to be closer to her son, but she was treated so coldly. However, she didnt know the reason. As an outsider, she couldntment too much. Chapter 1010: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me? 2 Chapter 1010: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me? 2 Because of Mother Sus appearance, Su Chens expression turned ugly. It waspletely different from before. At this moment, he was really cold and his entire body emitted a distant aura. Su Chen didnt look at Chi Xia as he walked forward. For some reason, Chi Xia felt that the tall figure in front of her was exuding a lonely aura. Impulsively, Chi Xia chased after Su Chen and grabbed his hand. Chi Xia froze when she felt the warmth from the hand. She regretted her impulsive behavior. Why was she pretending to be a saint? Why did she take the initiative to hold his hand? Su Chen stopped in his tracks and looked down at her hand. Then, he nced at Chi Xia and saw her looking at him awkwardly. Didnt she mind interacting with him? Why did she take the initiative to hold his hand? Chi Xias brain was spinning rapidly. She looked at Su Chen and said, Young Master Su, didnt you want to buy me New Years goods? Youre not buying anymore? As she spoke, Chi Xia wanted to let go of Su Chen, but before she could retract her hand, Su Chen grabbed her hand. Moreover, he was holding her so tightly that she couldnt pull him back even if she wanted to!
Chi Xia suddenly felt like dying. Su Chen narrowed his eyes and his thin lips moved. I thought you didnt want my gift for the New Year? I like it! Of course I like it! My father likes to drink, Chi Xia said, Why dont we buy him some good wine? Wine was much more expensive than health supplements! Her hand was held by him. She had already been taken advantage of by him. Of course, she had to get some benefits back. Then, Su Chen smiled. Okay. After that, Su Chen did not let go of Chi Xias hand. He held her hand and walked to the wine section. Chi Xia felt a lot of pressure and could not help but remind him, Young Master Su, dont you think that theres something extra in your hands? Do you want to let go? You touched me first. Do you think you can take it back just because you want to? It just so happens that my hands are too hot, Su Chen added. Ill use yours to cool them down. Chi Xia was speechless. In the end, Su Chen didnt manage to buy any good wine. As a young master, he was very particr about wine. He said that the wine in the supermarket wasnt good enough. Then, Chi Xia left the supermarket without buying anything for herself. When it was time to pay the bill, Chi Xia realized that she had really bought a lot of snacks. There werent many fruits and vegetables, and most of them were snacks. The snacks and snacks were all in intable bags, so they took up a lot of space. In the end, all the food was packed into fourrge shopping bags. Chi Xia resigned herself to her fate and volunteered to be herbor force. She carried two shopping bags in one hand and was about to leave when Su Chen paid the bill and walked up to her. Without a word, he took the shopping bags from her hands. Chi Xia looked at Su Chen empty-handed and did not react. She was a nanny, so it was only right for her to do this kind of rough work. However, this man had be so gentlemanly, which made her feel overwhelmed. Su Chen nced at her as if she was a fool. He then put the shopping bags into the shopping cart and pushed it forward as he said, Dont you know that shopping carts can be pushed directly to the parking lot? Do you have the strength to carry such a heavy bag out? Chi Xia was speechless. Alright, at this moment, Chi Xia felt that she was really stupid! She had actually thought that this man was tender and protective of women. It turned out that he could not stand her stupidity anymore.
Chapter 1011: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me? Chapter 1011: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me? Chi Xia was walking slowly behind her. Su Chen seemed to find her slow and stopped to wait for her. When she walked to his side, he held her hand and ced it on the armrest of the cart. He held her hand and pushed the cart out. This actionToo intimate. Chi Xia couldnt digest it for a while. She looked at him and could not help but remind him,Young Master Su, have you forgotten that we should keep our distance? If you breach the contract, you have to pay a billion yuan. Su Chen raised his cold eyes. I have topensate you with one billion just because I touched you? Then you hugged me just now and even took the initiative to hold my hand. Are you prepared topensate me with billions? .. What did he mean by hugging and hugging? Didnt she just hold his arm? Su Chen was full of reason, so Chi Xia had no choice but to give up arguing with him. She held his hand and walked to the parking lot. Su Chen ced the four bags into the trunk of the car and nced at Chi Xia. What are you still standing there for? Wait for me to open the car door for you and hold your hand to get in? ..
Chi Xia immediately lowered her head and got into the car. In fact, this kind of interaction really made her feel that something was wrong. She was clearly the nanny, but why was he doing all the physical work? Instead, she was the one who was being served. She watched him move the things into the car, then got in and started the car, acting as her driver. Thinking about it, Chi Xia realized that her treatment was a little too high. The car drove on the road. It was very quiet in the car. Recalling Su Chens attitude towards her mother, Chi Xia couldnt help but ask, Young Master Su, are you really going to spend the new year alone? Su Chen looked ahead. What? Do you want to stay and spend the New Year with me? Although he knew that it was impossible, he still couldnt help but have a trace of anticipation. However, reality was reality. Chi Xia immediately shook her head and denied, No, I just think that its better for you to spend the New Year with your family. Its better to have a lively New Year. Your mother seems to really want you to spend the New Year with her. Chi Xias words made Su Chens face darken. So, youre putting in a good word for her? Youve just met her and youre already sucking up to her. Could it be that she can give you some benefits? Su Chens words were sarcastic. He nced at her coldly. When he mentioned Mother Su, his expression changed instantly. Chi Xia bit her lip. Im not trying to suck up to anyone. Why do you have to make her sound so bad? Then why are you saying all this? Do you think Im very pitiful to spend the New Year alone? Is that why youre overflowing with love and sympathize with me? Im not Then why? Su Chen turned his head to look at Chi Xia. The traffic light in front of them was red. He stepped on the brakes and stared at her intently. Chi Xia, Im giving you your sry. You can take the money and do your job. Why do you care so much about me? This woman clearly did not want to have anything to do with him, but she always made him fantasize. So, did she really care about him? Or was it because she pitied him that she treated him differently? If that was the case, then he did not care about her pity at all!
Why do you care so much about me Su Chens words stunned Chi Xia. She didnt care about him at all, she just Pity him? Sympathize with him? In just a moment, this thought was scattered in her mind. Did such a high and mighty man need her pity and sympathy?
[Todays 8 chapters are over.] Chapter 1012: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me? Chapter 1012: Chi Xia, Why Do You Care About Me? Chi Xia hung her head, not knowing what to say. Even she felt like she was being a busybody. Just as she was in a dilemma, she saw from the corner of her eye that the red light in front of her had turned green. She quickly reminded him,Young Master Su, the light is green. We can go now. Su Chen ignored her change of topic and continued to press her. I asked you to answer me! The sound of a car horn came from the back of the car, urging her anxiously. However, Su Chen still stared at Chi Xia, not allowing her to avoid his question. Chi Xia was a little anxious. Hurry up and drive! Answer me first! Chi Xia had no choice but to think about it. Young Master Su, if you think that Im a busybody, then I wont meddle in your personal affairs anymore, alright? Can you drive first? Su Chen pursed his lips. Couldnt this woman say something he liked to hear? Su Chen didnt say anything. He looked away and continued driving. Chi Xia secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at the mans side profile and drew a cold line. She seemed to have provoked him again.
She thought about what he had just said and asked her why she cared about him. Actually, she didnt know either. Was this considered caring? He just didnt want to see his rtionship with his mother so stiff. He didnt want to spend the holidays alone. That kind of feeling wasnt pitiful. It was indescribable. Chi Xia didnt know what was wrong with her. Was she addicted to being a nanny and became more and more like to be a busybody? The car stopped in the parking lot and Su Chen got out of the car without a word. Chi Xia followed suit and opened the trunk. She wanted to take the bag out, but Su Chen beat her to it and closed the trunk with the bag. Chi Xia watched the mans back as he entered the elevator. She was not sure what he was angry about, so she followed him into the elevator silently. Then, she walked out of the elevator and into the house. She was speechless the entire way. After entering the room, Chi Xia packed up her things, put the vegetables in the fridge, put the snacks in the corner, washed the fruits, cut a few oranges, and brought the fruit tter into the study. Su Chen was working. She knocked on the door and walked in. She saw Su Chen buried in his work and ignored her. Chi Xia put down the fruit tter and frowned. She stood by the desk with her head lowered. After a while, Su Chen looked up at her. Is there anything else? Young Master Su, Im sorry. Chi Xia apologized seriously. Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Had this woman really be enlightened? However, Chi Xia continued, I wont meddle in other peoples business anymore. Dont be angry. I really didnt mean to offend you. Su Chens expression turned cold. So, this was why she apologized? He stood up and walked towards her. As he approached her, she subconsciously retreated and finally pressed her against the wall. What are you doing? Chi Xia stared at him with wide eyes. Chi Xia, what if I say that Im d youre meddling in my business? Su Chens casual words stunned Chi Xia. He was happy that she was meddling in other peoples business? What did this mean? Chi Xias mind went nk for a moment. She looked at the mans approaching face and instinctively pushed him away and ran out of the study. Why was this man acting so strange today?
Chi Xia rushed back to her room and closed the door. She took deep breaths and felt her heart beat faster as if it was going to jump out of her chest. However, she was just as strange today. Why was her heart beating so fast? It wasnt the first time Su Chen had gotten close to her, so why was he so nervous? [Its eventer. Well continueter.]
Chapter 1013: Like a Husband and Wife (1) Chapter 1013: Like a Husband and Wife (1) Su Chen looked at the fleeing figure. Although she ran very quickly, he could still see the panic on her face. That expression did not mean that she was rejecting him. Su Chens heart wavered. He couldnt tell what kind of emotion it was. This woman cared about whether he was angry or not and would apologize to him. In fact, she still cared about him, right? Thinking of this, the haze in Su Chens heart slowly dissipated. He walked out of the study and looked at the closed bedroom door. The corners of his mouth curled up. He didnt knock on the door, but the person in the room had no intention ofing out either. He turned on the television in the living room and watched it leisurely. Chi Xia paced back and forth in the room. She could not understand why her heart was beating so fast. Excited? Happy? How was that possible? She would never be happy just because Su Chen was close to her! She must be too greedy. Every time he got close to her, she felt like she had a billion in her hands, so she was excited! Thats right, that must be the case! At this moment, her phone rang. She opened WeChat and sawIt was a message from Su Chen! This man was right outside. Was there something wrong with him sending her a message?
He opened the message and saw the content,[How long do you n to hide in the house?] Cant you show your face? Chi Xia was speechless. Who was hiding? She was just thinking about something! She didnt want to hide at first, but after hearing what he said, she instantly felt guilty. She deleted the chat history and pretended not to see it. Then, another message came,[Come out and cook.] Chi Xia looked at the time. It was only four oclock in the afternoon. Did he have to rush her to cook? If he wasnt deliberately looking for trouble, what was? Chi Xia had no choice but to walk out of the bedroom. She saw a certain man leaningzily on the sofa, watching a football match. When he saw her, the corners of his lips curled up. Youre finally willing toe out? I was just washing my face in my room. Why are you rushing me? It doesnt cost money to send messages. Cant you call me? Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Oh? Did he have to spend money to send WeChat messages? I actually didnt know. Chi Xia was speechless. This man was obviously in a good mood. The cold expression on his face had long disappeared. He was in a strange mood! Chi Xia went into the kitchen and took out the fish she bought from the fridge. She stared at the fish with a worried expression. How should she do it? She logged into the gourmet website and looked at the method to clean the fish. Then, she put the fish into the water and prepared to cut it with scissors. However, she really hated washing fish! Why did Su Chen always think of ways to make things difficult for her? Chi Xia had no choice but to call her mother. When the call connected, Mother Chi asked, Xiaxia, are you going home?
No, Mom. Ill be home in two days. Im at a friends house now. Were going to cook. Arrange for me to cook fish. Can you teach me how to cook grouper? Chi Xia said softly. I see. Remember, the most important step in cooking fish is to wash it. If you dont wash it well and scrape the scales clean, the fish wont taste good. First, use a pair of scissors to scrape the scales clean, then cut open the fish belly and clean it As Mrs. Chi exined the details step by step, Chi Xia listened attentively. After Mrs. Chi finished, she almost understood.
Chapter 1014: Like a Husband and Wife (2) Chapter 1014: Like a Husband and Wife (2) Youre having dinner at a friends house? she asked curiously. Is it a party or a date? A gathering was a group of people, and a date was a solo date. Chi Xias mouth twitched and she answered directly, Its just a casual meal between friends. The other party is a girl. Oh, I see. Chi Xia could hear disappointment in those few words. In fact, when Chi Xia and Gu Cheng were together, her family did not know about it. After all, they were still young at that time and their parents thought that it was puppy love. However, things were different now that they were in university. Her mother was a very avant-garde person and supported her to date in university. It was a waste of time to not date in university. Therefore, she was very disappointed that she remained single. Chi Xia said a few words to her mother before hanging up. She turned around and saw Su Chen standing at the door of the study room. His expression turned ugly again. This face was sometimes sunny and sometimes dark. It might rain at any time. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. So Im a girl? Chi Xia was stunned for a moment before she realized that she had overheard the conversation.
She smiled awkwardly. Young Master Su, I cant tell my mother that Im cooking for a man in a mans house, right? If my mother finds out that Im a nanny for someone else, shell kill me! Oh? So Im bullying you? Of course not. I took your money willingly. Su Chen didnt say anything after hearing Chi Xias words. He hoped that she was really willing to cook for him and not that she had epted his money. Su Chen looked at her holding the scissors and looked at the fish, not knowing what to do. He said helplessly, Didnt you already call to ask? What are you looking at? Chi Xia nced at Su Chen. Dont you think its cruel to cut open a fish? Su Chen was speechless. So, are you mourning for a dead fish? Chi Xia really did not know where to start. She felt that her hands were fishy when she caught fish like this. She put down the scissors and put on gloves. She had to be very clean. Su Chen had never seen Chi Xia so worried about something. She had always been able to cope with the situation in the kitchen, but she had hit a wall over a fish. He walked to the side of the pool, holding the scissors in one hand and the fish in the other, ready to start. Chi Xia put on her gloves and turned around to see Su Chen doing it himself. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the man who did it himself as if she was looking at a monster. Su Chen felt her gaze and frowned. Did this woman need to put on such a scary expression? He said lightly, If we wait for you to finish washing the fish and make it, dinner will be supper. If we just watch from the side, we wont get such good treatment next time. Chi Xia nodded in surprise. She watched as Su Chen cut open the fishs belly with his nimble hands and eximed in surprise, You can cook? I wont. ..How did this look like someone who didnt know how to cook? He was clearly so skilled. Su Chen nced at Chi Xia and said something infuriating, This is the simplest way to wash fish. Its like washing vegetables. Even if I dont know how to cook, I can do it. These words were simply tant mockery and contempt! Didnt she just dislike washing fish? He didnt know how to cook, yet he was mocking her!
Chapter 1015: Like a Husband and Wife (3) Chapter 1015: Like a Husband and Wife (3) Actually, it was not that Su Chen did not know how to cook. He just did not want to admit it in front of Chi Xia. When he was studying abroad, other than Li Yans family who settled in new York, the other three people lived alone in the apartment like him. Sometimes, the four brothers would gather together. Even if they didnt want to eat takeout food, they would asionally cook. However, among the four of them, the eldest was the one whomanded with his mouth, and the youngest was the one who opened his mouth and waited to eat. Therefore, cooking was handed over to the second child. asionally, the third child would help, but he did not cook many times, so he was not familiar with it. As he was not familiar with it, he had nothing to show Chi Xia. While Su Chen was washing the fish, Chi Xia was cutting the vegetables. As she was cutting the vegetables, she watched Su Chen work seriously. This man washed the fish as if he was working. He had to admit that this was very attractive. One was washing fish while the other was cutting vegetables. The atmosphere was a little strange. Why did it feel like a couple cooking together? Chi Xia was shocked. What was she thinking? As she wasnt concentrating on cutting the vegetables, she identally cut her finger with the kitchen knife. She let out a low cry and raised her finger to check.
Before she could see if her finger was cut, the man beside her immediately put down the fish in his hand and held her hand. Did you cut your hand? Chi Xia was stunned. Why did this man react faster than her? There was no pain in her fingers. She quickly said,Im fine. Su Chen examined her and found that a piece of her fingernail had been cut off. Fortunately, it did not cut her flesh. In an instant, his expression turned cold again. Youre so stupid that you dont even know how to cut vegetables? Are you trying to get injured on purpose so that I can give you sick leave? .. Chi Xia was a little touched at first. This mans actions clearly showed his concern for her. However, his attitude soon revealed his thoughts. He was worried that she would get hurt because he was afraid that she would not be able to continue cooking! Simply narrow-minded! His hand was still holding hers. She was about to retract her hand when she realized that his hand was washing the fish. There was a fishy smell and he grabbed her hand! Chi Xia felt terrible. She flung his hand away and rushed out of the kitchen. She entered the bathroom sink and washed her hands with hand sanitizer. Su Chen frowned. Did this woman think that his hands were dirty? After Chi Xia washed her hands, she returned to the kitchen and saw that Su Chen had already washed the fish. His face was dark. He said coldly, Ive already washed it for you. Do you still need me to make it for you? If you want to practice your culinary skills, I dont mind Before she could finish her sentence, the man red at her. Dream on, do it when you sleep at night. Chi Xia was speechless. However, Su Chen did not leave the kitchen after washing the fish. He stood at the side and waited for her to start the fire. He looked like he didnt believe in her cooking, which made her very unhappy. Alright, even she did not believe in her own cooking skills. This was the first time she had cooked such a difficult dish.
Chi Xia turned on the fire and started cooking ording to the steps that Mrs. Chi had told her over the phone. She ced the fish into the pot and poured some water into it. She just needed to turn on the fire and cook it until the water was dry. Chi Xia pped her hands and nced at Su Chen. How is it? I didnt make you feel like you wasted your 30,000 yuan sry, did I? Whether its worth it or not, well have to wait and see. Su Chen said lightly.
Chapter 1016: So His Taste Is So Strong Chapter 1016: So His Taste Is So Strong Chi Xia pursed her lips. She would wait until the dish was cooked. By then, he would not look down on her! The fish had to be stewed for a long time. Chi Xia left the kitchen and sat on the sofa to rest. She hugged the fruit te and started eating. She saw Su Chen looking at her and handed the fruit te to him. Young Master Su, do you want some too? You want me to eat your saliva? Chi Xia was speechless. Didnt she just drip a few drops of orange juice on other fruits? Forget it if you dont want to eat it! Su Chen watched the football while Chi Xia finished her fruit and sat on the sofa, ying a Mini games on her phone. One was engrossed in ying with her phone, while the other had lost track of time while watching ser. Some even said that they didnt care about the time at all. When Chi Xia suddenly realized what was happening, it was already half an hourter. She rushed into the kitchen and smelled something burning. Chi Xia quickly scooped the fish out. Fortunately, the quality of the non-stick pan was better. Otherwise, this dish would really be inedible.
After serving dinner to the table, Chi Xia called for Su Chen to eat. Su Chens nose was sharp and he could smell the burnt smell before he even got close. He looked at the fish on the table that had changed beyond recognition and raised his eyebrows. Is this what you want me to think that the 30,000 yuan was not wasted? Chi Xia felt guilty and mumbled, Ill just make do with it this time. Ill definitely cook it well next time. Chi Xia was not confident. It was normal for Su Chen to put down his chopsticks and ask her to cook two more dishes. After all, he was quite difficult to please. However, Su Chen picked up the fish and ate it as if nothing had happened. She looked at his reaction expectantly. After cooking for him so many times, this was the first time she was looking forward to how he would feel after eating it. Su Chen put the fish into his mouth. A thick, burnt taste filled his mouth. It was definitely not delicious. His tongue had always been picky. If someone made such food, he would only feel that he had eaten garbage. However, the woman in front of him was looking at him expectantly, making him stop the disgust that was about to reach his mouth. He chewed slowly, ate a mouthful of rice, drank a mouthful of water, and said calmly, The taste is not bad. Chi Xia never expected to receive such a high evaluation! It was already not bad for him to say that it was passable! Usually, the delicious dishes she cooked with all her heart would be despised by him. She did not expect that the burnt fish would pass his test! Chi Xia thought that perhaps the burnt meat did not affect the taste. She picked up a piece of fish and started eating. ThenIt felt hard to swallow! That burnt smell was really thick! However, the man in front of her was eating enthusiastically. Why was his taste so unique? Could it be that he liked this kind of heavy taste? Chi Xia watched as Su Chen ate, bite by bite. In the end, she thought she was smart enough to say, Young Master Su, so you like the taste of food that is a little burnt. You should have told me your preference earlier. Now that I know, I will cook ording to your preference next time. Su Chens hand that was picking up the food paused. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he saw Chi Xia looking at him seriously and saying those words. Was this woman an idiot? She really didnt know that he was giving her face and didnt want her to be disappointed, so he forced himself to eat this fish that should have been thrown into the trash can?
Su Chen looked at Chi Xia. Tell me, are you really stupid? Huh? If youre stupid, eat more fish and grow your brain. ..Chi Xia was baffled.
[Go to sleep first and update earlier.] Chapter 1017: She Wants to Go Home! Chapter 1017: She Wants to Go Home! After dinner, Chi Xia received a text from her mother, urging her toe home early. Chi Xia looked at Su Chen and couldnt help but discuss, Young Master Su, can you really not give me a few more days off? I want to go home early. Su Chen nced at Chi Xia. So, you want me to starve for the next few days? You can go back to your house. Dont you have a nanny at home? I spent money to hire you. Why wouldnt I use you? ..This man was really unreasonable! There were only three days left until New Years Eve. It was a busy time at home. Chi Xia really did not want to stay here so leisurely. It would be a waste of time to be with Su Chen. In the past, she would have been home by this time. She steeled her heart, took out her phone, opened WeChat, and transferred fifteen thousand yuan to Su Chen. He said that if she went on strike for a day, her sry would be deducted by 5,000 yuan. Then, she would take three days off in advance, which would be 15,000 yuan! Anyway, she had taken so much money from him, so she didnt care about this.
After Chi Xia sessfully transferred the money, she looked at Su Chen and said firmly, Im going home tomorrow. Whether you agree or not, Ill transfer the money to you! Chi Xia turned around and returned to the bedroom. Su Chen frowned. He opened his phone and saw that she had sent him a message. This woman didnt want to be with him for a day! It was fine if they were separated for seven days during the New Year, but they had to spend three more days on top of that. Su Chens face darkened when he thought of this. The next day, Chi Xia woke up early to pack her things. When she walked out of the bedroom, she realized that Su Chen had already woken up. Su Chen looked at her as usual. Go cook. Chi Xia raised her chin and smiled. Young Master Su, Im on leave from today onwards, so I dont have to cook. Chi Xia, let me remind you that you havent left yet. Arent you worried that you wont be able to leave? Su Chen threatened. Chi Xia was speechless. For a moment, she was too pleased with herself. Even though she was not convinced, she still went into the kitchen and fried an egg, baked a piece of bread, and made a bowl of porridge. She finished Su Chens breakfast. After dinner, Chi Xia looked at Su Chen. Can I go now? Su Chens face was cold. He stood up and walked towards the door. Ill send you off. Chi Xia was stunned and did not react for a moment. He was going to send her off? Just as she said that she didnt need it, Su Chen red at her coldly. He seemed to have predicted that she would reject him and stopped her from saying anything. Chi Xia thought about it for a moment. It was indeed ufortable for her to carry her luggage and squeeze into the subway. It was too expensive to take a taxi. Since there was already a chauffeur, it would be a waste if she did not take it. Chi Xia dragged her luggage out of the house and brought along the snacks she had bought from the supermarket. Su Chen walked up to her and took the luggage from her. He nced at the shopping bags in her hands and raised his eyebrows. Youre going home to celebrate the new year and you still need to eat so many snacks? Chi Xia said subconsciously, Young Master Su, you bought this for me. Dont tell me you dont want me to take it away? Su Chens eyes turned cold. Is he that petty in this womans eyes?
Taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, Even if you leave them at home, I wont throw them away or eat them, so you dont have to take them away. Im not afraid that youll eat it. I have a niece and nephew at home, so I brought it back for them to eat. So you took my things to give away? Chi Xia smiled. She had already given it to her!
Su Chen moved his luggage into the car after they had upgraded their building and continued to be Chi Xias driver. Chapter 1018: Chi Xia, What Are You Feeling Guilty About? Chapter 1018: Chi Xia, What Are You Feeling Guilty About? On the way home, Mrs. Chi and Mr. Chi called several times. Chi Xia told them that she would be going home in the morning. They would ask them how to get home and where they were. When they were almost home, they would tell them to pick her up. Every time Chi Xia came home, her parents would be so enthusiastic. She would not stand on ceremony and would ask her father to pick her up from the neighborhood and help her carry her bags. However, Su Chen had personally sent her off today, so she didnt dare to ask her father toe out and pick him up. Chi Xia answered on the phone and said that she would only be home at noon. She told them to prepare dinner and wait for her at home. It was too cold and they did not need toe out to pick her up. Su Chen was driving as he listened to the woman beside him talking to the person on the other end of the phone in a gentle and casual tone. Her tone was especially rxed. Her attitude waspletely different when she was with him. This woman always kept her guard up in front of him. She had never treated him as someone close to her. Chi Xia put down the phone. Su Chen nced at her and said, You dont have to arrive at ten oclock. Why did you say youll only be home at noon? Upon hearing his words, Chi Xia replied without hesitation, I told them the timeter to prevent them froming out early to wait for me. If they see me with a man, they will definitely ask questions. Chi Xias words made Su Chens face darken. Chi Xia didnt realize that she had said the wrong thing. What she said was the truth. She didnt know why Su Chen changed his attitude.
After that, he was speechless for the rest of the journey. Chi Xia fell asleep with her head tilted to the side. Su Chen was furious. This woman was about to part with him, yet she was not reluctant at all. Instead, she was sleeping here! On the way back, Su Chen was filled with anger, while Chi Xia was in a good mood because she was going home. The car stopped outside Chi Xias residential area. Chi Xia quickly asked Su Chen to stop the car and she could go in herself. Su Chen wanted to drive the car in, but Chi Xia told him that the neighborhood didnt allow unfamiliar cars to enter. Su Chen nced at the ordinary residential area in front of him. It was not a closed residential area at all. She actually said that unfamiliar cars were not allowed to enter and exit! This unconvincing lie was obviously meant to deal with him! She was already in a bad mood, but now she was even more depressed. It was as if they had some kind of shameful rtionship. The two of them got out of the car. Su Chen took out his luggage from the trunk and took out two gift boxes from it, handing them to Chi Xia. Chi Xia was confused. Young Master Su, what is this? This is for you. Su Chen said coldly. Chi Xia was stunned and thanked him. She took the gift box and looked around to see if she knew anyone. Then, she said to Su Chen,Young Master Su, Ill take my leave first. Su Chen watched as she sneakily got out of the car. His eyes darkened, and he stepped forward and pressed her against the car. What are you feeling guilty about? Chi Xia was stunned. She looked at him who was approaching and pushed him away. Young Master Su, there are many people here. Be careful. Let me ask you, what are you feeling guilty about? Were innocent. What are you nervous about? Or is it that in your heart, we are not innocent at all? Su Chen asked. Im not nervous. Youre thinking too much! Chi Xia pushed her away forcefully and walked away. At this moment, a voice came from behind him. Xiaxia? Chi Xia stopped in her tracks. She turned around and saw her father looking at her with a puzzled expression, as if he was not sure if he was looking at her in person. Heavens! Why was her father here?
Chapter 1019: Hes My Boss Chapter 1019: Hes My Boss Daddy, why are you here? Chi Xia asked in surprise. I was ying chess at the Go club next door and was waiting for you toe back. My Go friend said that there was a luxury car parked at the entrance of our neighborhood. I saw that it looked like you, so I quickly came out to take a look. I didnt expect it to really be you. And this is? As he spoke, he looked at Su Chen with a questioning gaze. Chi Xia did not expect such a coincidence. Just as she was thinking about how to exin it to her father, she heard Su Chen say, Hello, Uncle. Im Su Chen, Chi Xias friend. Friends? Mr. Chi nced at the luxurious car. His daughter had found such a rich friend. Was he really just a friend? Chi Xia quickly exined, Daddy, I was going to take a ride home, but he happened to be on the way, so he gave me a ride. Su Chen noticed her troubled expression and added, Im going to a club on Yonghe Road to handle some business. Father Chi was skeptical, but there was indeed the club Su Chen mentioned nearby. He smiled and nodded. Little Su, sorry to trouble you. Why dont youe to our house? Little Su Chi Xias face darkened. Her father was too enthusiastic. Su Chen smiled and refused. No, Uncle. I still have something to do. I dont have time. Maybe next time.
Alright then, Little Su, you can go ahead with your work. Next time you have time, you must drop by our house. Father Chi said politely. Su Chen nodded and got into the car. Chi Xia heaved a sigh of relief as she watched the car leave. Mr. Chi stepped forward and took the things from her. Xiaxia, when did you make such a rich friend? Dad, shes not my friend. Actually, hes my boss. I said that I found a part-time job and that Im working under him. Of course, she couldnt say that her job was to be a nanny, but it was much easier to exin to Su Chen as a boss than to a friend. Boss? Why didnt you say so earlier? I was wondering why he was so rich. That car costs more than ten million! Why did your boss send you back personally? Mr. Chi asked. Its really on the way. I just hitched a ride. Chi Xia replied. Mr. Chi believed him. Feeling the weight of the things in his hands, he lowered his head and was surprised to see a gift box of famous wine in his hands. Shocked, he asked, Xiaxia, where did you get the money to buy this expensive wine? Chi Xia didnt know much about wine and she didnt know what price Su Chen had prepared for her, but she knew that it wouldnt be cheap. This is ourpanys year-end bonus, she said. Yourpanys treatment is so good? How could a part-time intern get such good benefits? Looks like your boss is really rich. Chi Xia nodded. Su Chens worth could not be simply described as rich . Daddy, how much is this wine? she asked curiously. Thepany sent it to me, but I dont know the exact amount. This is a white wine gift box. It costs five figures per box. Five figures Chi Xia was shocked. No wonder her father was so surprised! Your boss treats his employees well. He gave them two gift boxes. One is a tonic and the other is white wine. Theyre both for the elderly. Its rare to find such a thoughtfulpany. Not bad. Chi Xia pouted. Dad, our boss is actually quite stingy.
Youre still stingy? Dont be unsatisfied, child! Xiaxia, I cant believe I called your boss Little Su. Your boss wont mind, will he? Mr. Chi eximed. Chi Xia was speechless. Can we not be so slow?
Chapter 1020: 1022-Brilliant Method Chapter 1020: Chapter 1022-Brilliant Method On Su Chens way back, his phone rang. It was Li Yan. Come to my house for dinner tonight, Li Yan said simply. Youre in charge of informing Third and Fourth. Su Chen was feeling depressed because of Chi Xias departure. Hearing Li Yans words, he said unhappily, Big Brother, why do you need me to inform them that youre treating? Im driving. Its easy for you to just say hi in the group. Ever since the few of them started using WeChat,munication had be much more convenient. Im shopping with Mu Mu. I dont have time. Ill leave it to you, Li Yan said calmly. After saying that, Li Yan hung up the phone. Su Chen was speechless. After hanging up, Su Chen opened his WeChat. Just as he was about to notify the group, he saw a new message from Chi Xia. Thank you. Su Chen raised his eyebrows and replied,[Thank me for what?]
Chi Xia replied quickly, Thank you for cooperating with me in front of my father. Also, thank you for the gift. My parents are very satisfied. If you want to thank me, then take action. What should we do? Chi Xia asked. Come back three days before the New Year to serve me. Chi Xia was speechless. Then I wont thank you. Looking at the chat log, Su Chens lips curled up. Somehow, his mood improved. C At this moment, Li Yan and Qiao Mus shopping spree finally ended after two whole days. After walking out of the mall, Li Yan ced Qiao Mus shopping bags in the trunk. Qiao Mu stood by the car and waited. Then, she saw two people who were about to enter the mall-Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtong was holding Shu Xinyus arm and saying something when they saw her. Ning Tongtongs expression changed when she saw Qiao Mu, and she snorted. Its really unlucky today to see such a filthy thing outside! Qiao Mu retracted her gaze and ignored Ning Tongtong. Seeing this, Ning Tongtong became even angrier. Just as she was about to rush over to cause trouble, she was stopped by Shu Xinyu. Tongtong, forget it. Theres no benefit in provoking her. Lets ignore her! Mom, Im just angry. She framed me and sent me to the police station. If I dont settle this with her, Ill be furious sooner orter! Ning Tongtong shouted angrily. Li Yan walked over from the back of the car and swept a cold nce at Ning Tongtong. Ning Tongtongs expression instantly changed. Qiao Mu and Li Yan were together! She had really underestimated Qiao Mu. She had actually seduced Li Yan endlessly. Some time ago, she had thought that Li Yan had dumped Qiao Mu. In the end, she only found out when she entered the police station that the two of them were still in a rtionship! If Qiao Mu had not been so brilliant, how could she have let a man like Li Yan fall for her trap all the time? The more Ning Tongtong thought about it, the angrier she got. However, she was dragged away by Shu Xinyu. Mom, why did you ask me to leave? Ning Tongtong said angrily. I didnt do anything wrong! Tongtong, dont mention this matter anymore. Since Qiao Mu isnt pursuing this matter, as long as the person who harmed her isnt found, theres a possibility that hell harm her again. No matter who harmed Qiao Mu, theyve done something beneficial to us. You keep saying that you didnt do it. If she finds out that you really have nothing to do with it, shell investigate this matter. At that time, Qiao Mu will have one less enemy. Its not a bad thing for that person to be in the dark.
But I cant keep being wronged! Shu Xinyu sighed. Even if we find out that you didnt do it, do you think shell still apologize to you? Listen to me and put this matter aside for the time being. Although Ning Tongtong was unwilling to ept this, she felt that Shu Xinyus words made sense. She could only pray that the person hiding in the dark had sessfully killed Qiao Mu!
Chapter 1021: A Man Without a Woman Chapter 1021: A Man Without a Woman After Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong left, Li Yan held Qiao Mus shoulder. Get in the car. Qiao Mu raised her head and met Li Yans worried gaze. She smiled. Im fine, Uncle. It doesnt matter anymore. It really didnt matter anymore. She now knew what was most important to her. She wouldnt dwell on things that didnt belong to her. However, what she did not understand was why Ning Tongtong did not admit what she had done to her. She had already let it go, so there was no need for Ning Tongtong to pretend to be innocent. Perhaps he was worried that she would cause trouble again, so he refused to admit it? Qiao Mu shook her head to stop herself from thinking about unpleasant things. She got into the car and let out a long sigh. She felt very aplished as she drove the pile of things behind the car. I finally bought everything. Its really tiring to celebrate the new year. Li Yan rubbed her head helplessly. This job was originally your mother-inws, but you insisted on taking the initiative to do it. Its fine that you volunteered, but you even dragged me into it to apany you shopping for two days. In the past, the Li family spent the New Year abroad. A few years ago, the China New Year wasnt popr in the United States, but the Li family would still celebrate their own Spring Festival. Everything was arranged by Yu Yiduo, so it was equally lively. In recent years, the Chinese New Year was especially important abroad. Yu Yiduo made a big fuss and prepared many things in China. This year was the first Chinese New Year since she returned to the country, so she naturally couldnt spend it casually. Yu Yiduo was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation, but Qiao Mu enthusiastically took over, and Yu Yiduo couldnt wait to be the hands-off manager. Qiao Mu pouted after hearing his words. Youre unwilling to be with me? Im giving you a chance to be alone with me so that you wont keep saying that you wont see me for the whole day.
Li Yans lips curled up. Its not bad to spend more time with each other. However, I prefer to spend more time with each other in bed. Qiao Mu was speechless. Can we still have a proper chat? After a while, Qiao Mu tilted her head and looked at Li Yan. Were treating Su Chen and the others to a meal today. Are there any rules? Its not a rule. Its just that in the past, our family was overseas and we werent together with them during the New Year. Every time before the New Year, they would go to our home overseas for dinner and get together. After a long time, it became a habit. Qiao Mu nodded in understanding. She also understood that Li Yans rtionship with his brothers was not ordinary. They were all brothers who grew up together. Not only were they close, but even their parents from the previous generation were also very close. They were all family friends. She looked at the man in front of her. Fortunately, he had a few brothers who had been close since they were young. Otherwise, such a difficult man would probably not be able to make many friends. Therefore, her adaptability was really strong. Lu Jingzhi and Su Chen were already there when they returned to the Li familys house. The two of them sat leisurely on the sofa and drank tea. When he saw Li Yan return, Lu Jingzhi could not help butin, Brother, as the host, you invited us here for a meal, but youre out there doing whatever you want. Is that right? Li Yan nced at Lu Jingzhi. I told you toe at night. Who told you toe so early? Qiao Mu smiled and continued, Because he doesnt have anyone to keep himpany. Baby Guan has returned to Hong Kong, so hes so bored by himself. He despises her when shes around, but now that shes gone, does he know he cant bear to part with her? Her words exposed Lu Jingzhis thoughts. Lu Jingzhi did not argue with the woman and did not respond. Qiao Mu looked at Su Chen. Young Master Su, Young Master Lu doesnt have anyone to apany him, but why are you here so early? Wheres Xiaxia? Chapter 1022: Three Bachelors Chapter 1022: Three Bachelors Su Chen took a sip of tea and said lightly, I went home in the morning. Qiao Mu nodded in understanding. She was another person without a woman to apany him. Lu Jingzhi smiled. Second Brother, isnt it just that the woman isnt by your side? Why are you so down? Su Chen nced at him. Which eye of yours saw me down? I think youre talking about yourself. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan and smiled. Uncle,pared to them, do you feel especially blessed? Li Yans lips curled up. Thats true, but why would Ipare myself to them for no reason? Its not challenging. Su Chen was speechless. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. This was a double blow. Lu Jingzhi called Ling Xi to hurry her up, but Ling Xi was already on her way.
In order to prevent these bachelors from being agitated by Li Yan and Qiao Mus love, Qiao Mu did not participate in the mens conversation. Instead, she tidied up the New Years goods that she had bought today. Soon, Ling Xi arrived alone. Xiao Si, wheres your woman? Lu Jingzhi looked down on her. Why didnt you bring it? Ling Xi raised an eyebrow. Do you have to bring a woman with you wherever you go? She hasnt married yet. Why would I bring her to my eldest brothers house? These words were really arrogant! Qiao Mu thought,If you can really bring a woman over, then its also your ability. But for the sake of Young Master Ling, she didnt say this. But if she didnt say it, someone else would say it for him. Can you stop pretending? Su Chen said. Ling Xi was speechless. Lu Jingzhi burst intoughter. Little Four, youre so amazing. Then, go and call your woman over! Ling Xi looked at themughing at him so brazenly. He couldnt afford to lose face. It wasnt a big deal to shout! Ling Xi dialed Ye Nuans number. Soon, the call was picked up. Young Master Ling, whats the matter? What are you doing? Im at home Come out if you have nothing to do. I have a party here. In front of his brothers, Ling Xis tone was arrogant, but he was also arrogant in front of Ye Nuan. If nothing unexpected happened, Ye Nuan would definitelye out. Of course, this woman understood that they were in a business rtionship. He had helped her with everything. He had even let her participate inrge-scale events like Paris Fashion Week, which had increased her value by a hundred times. Therefore, when he needed her, she would be very tactful and appear. But Young Master Ling, Ye Nuan said, I cant go out. Its the end of the year now. Im a little busy at home.
In an instant, Ling Xi felt terrible! This woman had rejected him! Under everyones gaze, Ling Xi repeated, Say it again,e out now. I cant get out. This time, she rejected him directly.
You Ling Xi was about to say something when the other end of the phone hung up! He hung up! Ling Xis face turned ashen. This woman! This woman! At this moment, Lu Jingzhi did not hide his mockery. Xiao Si, think about the consequences before you talk big. Dont p yourself in the face. Ling Xi angrily called Ye Nuan again, but she didnt even pick up! Although he was very depressed, he still pretended to be indifferent and retorted sarcastically, You still have the face tough at me? Arent you the same? Other than Big Brother, the two of you have no right to speak here! Get Young Master Ling a cup of tea to calm his anger, Li Yan said to the servant beside him. Ling Xi was speechless. On the other side, Qiao Mu pursed her lips into a smile. She loved to see Li Yan use his venomous tongue on others. One word, awesome! Chapter 1023: Men Must Learn to Pamper Women Chapter 1023: Men Must Learn to Pamper Women Qiao Mu saw the men talking nonsense, so she took out candy from her bag and ced it on a candy tray before bringing it to the coffee table. Sister-inw, what are you doing? Lu Jingzhi asked. There are still two days to the new year. Why are the candies ready so early? Candies can only be eaten during the New Year? Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at Lu Jingzhi. You can treat it as our wedding candy, Li Yan said calmly. Qiao Mu was speechless. None of the men liked sweet food, so none of them went to eat the candies. Qiao Mu was a little unhappy. She had meticulously prepared these very expensive and delicious candies for the Spring Festival, but these people actually didnt give her any face. She picked a piece of chocte and ced it by Li Yans mouth. Uncle, have one. Li Yan nced at it. Although he was not interested in chocte, he still opened his mouth and took a bite. It was a spherical chocte. He had only eaten one-third of it. You can have the rest. Qiao Mu smiled as she ced the remaining half into her mouth. This action provoked the others.
Ling Xi clicked his tongue. There must be a limit to how much love you have. Lu Jingzhi echoed, Thats right. Who doesnt know how to show off their love? Its just that theres no one around to show off to for the time being. Qiao Mu was already used to it, so she did not take their jokes seriously. Su Chen looked at the two of them. This scene reminded him of many years ago when Qiao Mu had a lollipop in her mouth. She suddenly took the lollipop out of her mouth and handed it to Li Yan, sharing it with him. Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi, who were watching by the side, felt that Li Yan would not eat the lollipop that was stained with saliva. However, he still licked it and patted Qiao Mus head, telling her to continue eating. Everyone knew that Li Yan did not like sweet food, let alone chocte. Qiao Mu naturally knew that now. She knew that he did not like it, but she still gave it to him. She did not force him to eat it all. As long as she gave him a symbolic response, she would be satisfied with just one bite. Li Yan, on the other hand, did not like to eat, but he would still take a bite to satisfy Qiao Mu. It was as if this was the only way to show how much he valued her. For so many years, this man had never changed his love for the woman he loved. In fact, he had doted on her even more. Qiao Mu ate a piece of chocte before calling out to the other three men without giving up. You guys eat too. Its delicious, right, Uncle? Li Yan nodded and replied with an Mm. At the same time, he took a sip of tea to eliminate the sweetness in his mouth. Su Chen smiled faintly. Were not big brothers. We wont eat things we dont like just to please a woman. Qiao Mu found these words quite pleasing to the ear. She was hinting at Li Yan to spoil her. However, she still rolled her eyes at Su Chen. No wonder you havent taken Xiaxia yet. If a man doesnt lower himself and learn to pamper a woman, how can he make a woman fall for him? Su Chen was speechless. Su Chen, who had always been as eloquent as Li Yan, did not know what to say. He seemed to be cold to Chi Xia most of the time and did not reveal his feelings. He seemed to be worried that if she found out, he would not get a response from her and all the favorable conditions he had created would disappear. He did not know when, but he had already confirmed his feelings for Chi Xia. As for that woman, if he wanted to get her, he had to get her. It was only a matter of time. Sister-inw, has Brother been so nice to you since he started courting you? Lu Jingzhi asked. Who are you lying to!
Chapter 1024: 24 Filial Piety Good Man Chapter 1024: 24 Filial Piety Good Man The way she addressed her as sister-inw was friendly. Lu Jingzhi did not often address Qiao Mu as sister-inw. After all, she was not officially married into the Li family and was ten years younger than them. It would be awkward to address her as sister-inw. However, just like Ling Xi, she would only call her sister-inw when she needed help. Obviously, the other party was here to seek experience. Qiao Mu raised her chin proudly. Of course! We all saw how the two of you got along back then. Can it be the same in front of outsiders and in private? He would not dare to say anything in private. He would never dare to refuse to give me anything I wanted. He was a good man, and all men cared about their reputation. At first, they felt that it was embarrassing to go against a woman. As time passed, it did not matter anymore when their skin became thicker. If you dont believe me, ask the person involved. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan with a smile. Li Yans mouth twitched. This woman was so arrogant. Helplessly, he pulled her to sit beside him. You made your man sound so cowardly. Is that something to be proud of? Seeing that he wasnt cooperating, Qiao Mu snorted. I just wanted to urge them to use the method of spoiling women to woo their wives. Otherwise, they wouldnt even know how they lost their wives.
Its okay. Theyll be single for the rest of their lives. Only then will they be able to bring out our happiness, right? Qiao Mu was speechless. Did he have to be so ruthless? Actually, they werent good brothers, were they? At this moment, Yu Yiduo returned and saw everyone in the room. She smiled and said, You guys are really early. Dont you have any personal feelings to cultivate in such a good time? Why did youe so early to disturb my son and daughter-inws private time? Everyone was speechless. The three men hade today to take a blow. As it was still early, the three men really didnt want to be hit again, so they organized themselves to y cards upstairs and find a quiet ce. Qiao Mu busied herself downstairs, dividing some fruits and melon seeds into several tes and bringing them to the mahjong room. Everyone had a te of fruits and melon seeds by their hands, and they greeted them warmly, Just throw the peel on the ground after eating it. Youre wee. Li Yans lips curled up when he saw Qiao Mu busy herself like a hostess. This little woman seemed to enjoy having guests at home. Only when there were guests would it feel like the new year. The courtyard was currently being cleaned, and Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo were busy in the house. Yu Yiduo was personally cutting paper while Qiao Mu watched from the side. In just a short while, she had already cut out beautiful patterns. Qiao Mu was learning from the side, but the usually dexterous Qiao Mu became clumsy, and her cutting was very ugly. As Yu Yiduo was cutting paper, Qiao Mu chattered on and on. Mommy, I bought a lot of ornaments. Should we hang them up now? Well have to wait until New Years Eve to get busy with these things. Theres no hurry. Yu Yiduo said. So thats how it is. Qiao Mu was extremely excited. Yu Yiduo looked at Qiao Mus agitated expression andughed. Youre like a child. Youre so excited about celebrating the new year. At my age, the pressure of celebrating the new year is really great. Ive grown another year. Qiao Mu chuckled and lowered her head to speak the truth. Actually, I especially disliked festivals in the past, but this year is the first New Year Im spending with you guys, soIm looking forward to it. Qiao Mus words made Yu Yiduos heart ache, and her heart instantly ached. She put down the paper-cut in her hand and hugged Qiao Mu, patting her head as she said gently, Good daughter, Mommy will definitely spend an unforgettable New Year with you.
[Ill update it at night. Suying knows how to write about the rtionship between supporting characters. Some people like it and some dont. If you only like to watch Mu Mu, then when you write about other peoples stories, just skip it.] Chapter 1025: Pleased in Love, Frustrated in Casino Chapter 1025: Pleased in Love, Frustrated in Casino Qiao Mu felt warm in Yu Yiduos embrace. Unlike Li Yan, Yu Yiduos body was smaller like hers. She did not have a firm and broad chest, but she felt very safe in her arms. Qiao Mu thought that perhaps this was how a mother felt. She had never received any motherly love since she was young, but she had received it from Yu Yiduo. Everything was so beautiful. C When it was time for dinner, the mahjong game upstairs ended. Qiao Mu enthusiastically went up to him. Uncle, did you win again? Li Yan looked at the little womans money-grubber face and curled his lips. Before he could say anything, Ling Xiughed and said, Sister-inw, do you think Yang can win? Big Brother is the only one who lost, Lu Jingzhi said with a smile. We finally got an advantage.
Qiao Mu raised the corners of her lips and put on a fake smile. Thats right. Its a rare opportunity, so Ill let you guys have some fun. Who asked you to not have a woman to apany you? If I let you lose money again, that would really be too cruel. .. So, her man had lost money, so she had to get back some psychological bnce with her words? The kitchen was preparing dinner. The four men sat down on the sofa. When they saw the paper cut on the coffee table, Su Chen said, Auntie, after so many years, youre still so dexterous. This child really knows how to talk. Yu Yiduo smiled happily. How could she not be proud? This was the only specialty she had in her life. Ling Xi picked up a paper cut to admire, but he couldnt figure out what it was after looking at it for a long time. He asked curiously, Auntie, I want to praise you too, but I really dont know how to appreciate things. Yu Yiduo looked at the paper cut by Qiao Mu in Ling Xis hand and burst outughing. Qiao Mus face was filled with embarrassment as she snatched it from Ling Xis hands and coughed lightly. Of course you dont know how to appreciate it. This is art, do you have any artistic cells? Ling Xi did not react at first, but when he saw Qiao Mus reaction, he immediately understood. Sister-inw, so this was done by your dexterous hands! Qiao Mu waved the paper-cut in front of Li Yan. Uncle, do you like it? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. What pattern did you cut? This is a monkey. Doesnt it look like one? Li Yan smiled and patted Qiao Mus head. Its too troublesome to pick up a monkey. Next time, itll be easier to cut an apple. Qiao Mu Was heughing at her for not being skilled? The three men beside him startedughing, but Li Yan gave them a warning re and they immediately stoppedughing. They had all forgotten that Young Master Lis principle was that he could bully his own woman, but if others dared to look down on her, that was absolutely not allowed! Sister-inw, Lu Jingzhi said. Youve been calling me brother and uncle. Dont you want to change your way of addressing me? When youre young, you call me brother. When you grow up, you call me uncle. In ten years, will you call me grandfather? Qiao Mu was used to this form of address. Sometimes, she would also call Li Yan by his name, but most of the time, she would just let nature take its course and call him Little Uncle. She did not find anything wrong with it, and it felt especially cordial instead.
She looked at Li Yan and asked for his opinion. Should I change it? The corners of Li Yans lips curled up as he said indifferently, Ignore them. They dont know about the intimate nicknames between husband and wife. Please understand that theyre single. Between husband and wife Upon hearing this description, Qiao Mu couldnt help but blush.
Right, they were husband and wife. [My schedule ispletely messed up. Ill continue updating in the middle of the night. Its just in time for you toe and watch it in the morning.] Chapter 1026: The difference between having a wife and being single Chapter 1026: The difference between having a wife and being single Li Yans words silenced everyone else. Anyway, to sum up, whats so great about having a wife! Li Zheng returned, and dinner began. The meal was very lively, and the five men talked about the stock market business. Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo couldnt understand what they were talking about, so they talked about their own dishes and what they had nned for tomorrow. Then, the two of them started talking about the recent Korean dramas. When they talked about the male lead, they kept calling him oppa, which attracted the attention of the other men. Whos oppa? Li Zheng asked unhappily. Yu Yiduo nced at Li Zheng. You wouldnt know even if I told you. Li Zhengs face darkened, Then tell me, what is your oppas name? Seeing Li Zhengs expression change, Yu Yiduoughed, Im oppa, arent you?! Mumu insisted on introducing me to some Korea oppa just now. Thats too outrageous! Qiao Mu was speechless. You were the one who brought up this topic first, alright? As Yu Yiduo spoke, she looked at Li Yan. Son, you have to look after your wife. Be careful that she doesnt go after her oppa because shes infatuated with him. You have to know that girls who chase after idols are too scary. They can run away with someone just like that. Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu, who blinked her big eyes innocently. Although he did not say anything, his gaze seemed to be saying that he would settle the score with herter.
She was really innocent, alright? Her mother-inw was really not easy to deal with! The few men who were watching the show from the side all held back theirughter. As they ate, a battle between mother-inw and daughter-inw took ce. As expected, the rtionship between mother-inw and daughter-inw was very delicate. No matter how good a mother-inw was, there would be times when she would tear them down. After the meal, the few of them did not leave immediately. They continued to stay here and continue their nightlife. Qiao Mu was a little tired after strolling the streets for the entire day, so she returned to her room early to wash up and sleep. A few men were ying poker in the living room. Li Yan looked at the time. It was already past eleven oclock. He threw the poker cards away and stood up. You can go now. Big Brother, its not good to chase us away so early, right? Su Chen asked. Ling Xi: We havent had enough fun yet. Its only a few hours! Li Yan ignored them. If you guys want to y, go ahead. Im going to rest. Do you think Im like you guys, alone? ..Where was the man in charge? Lu Jingzhi: Brother, Sister-inw didnt rush you. You dont have to do this, right? With a wife, even his overnight life was canceled? In the past, we always stayed up all night! Li Yan nced at Lu Jingzhi. Only single men would stay out all night. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Li Yan had no intention of keeping the guests, so the three men could only leave early. Although they were indignant, they were still envious. Why was their woman not so obedient? When Li Yan returned to his room, the lights were on, and Qiao Mu was sleeping soundly under the nket. After Li Yan finished washing up, he came out of the bathroom and very inconsiderately turned on the hairdryer to dry his hair, sessfully waking Qiao Mu up. Qiao Mu grunted and narrowed her eyes at Li Yan. She furrowed her brows slightly. Cant you keep your voice down?! Did they all leave? Yes, youre sleeping so early? Li Yan got on the bed and pulled Qiao Mu into his embrace. Qiao Mus mosquito-like voice uttered the word so sleepy before she closed her eyes and fell asleep again. Li Yans hand, which was wrapped around her waist, reached into her clothes. Then, he moved it up little by little and started pinching her.
Chapter 1027: No wonder you’re not interested in me recently Chapter 1027: No wonder youre not interested in me recently Qiao Mu groaned and pped his hand away in a daze. She turned around and continued sleeping with her back facing Li Yan. This position made it easier for Li Yan to sneak an attack. He circled her from behind and continued to attack. Qiao Mu was sleepingfortably when she felt someone harassing her. She opened her eyes unwillingly. What are you doing? Little thing, shouldnt you exin to me whats going on with your oppa? Li Yan pressed his face close to Qiao Mus ear, and his voice was so low that he almost bit her earlobe as he spoke. What oppa? Hmm? What do you think? Li Yan increased the strength in his hands and took advantage of her openly. These few days, the two of them had been shopping all day and preparing for the New Years goods. At night, she would lie down and sleep, ignoring him for a few days. She did not have the self-awareness of a wife who did her duty. Qiao Mu felt a sharp pain in her chest, and she reacted immediately. She quickly pped his hand away and coquettishly burrowed into his embrace. Uncle, Im so sleepy. Stop fooling around. It would have been better if she hadnt acted coquettishly. However, when she acted coquettishly, her petite body pressed against his chest, allowing him to truly feel her touch. His body tensed up all of a sudden. In her daze, Qiao Mu felt a slight chill in her body. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch it and realized that her clothes had been unbuttoned. When she opened her eyes, she saw a certain man unbuttoning her shirt. His eyes were fixed on her, and his gaze made her drowsiness disappear by half. You pervert! What do you want? The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. I want to f * ck you! Qiao Mu was speechless. Li Yan bent over and kissed Qiao Mus lips lightly. He looked at her. Little thing, no wonder youve lost interest in me recently. So youve fallen in love with oppa? Qiao Mus face scrunched up. Uncle, youre my oppa. Stop fooling around. Im really sleepy. Alright, then Ill let you wake up. .. I want to sleep! Be good, let oppa dote on you. You pervert! En, dont you like perverted oppas like me? As Li Yan spoke, he started to move. Qiao Mu was initially extremely sleepy and unwilling, but a certain man was so skillful that he easily made some kind of emotion rece her sleepiness. It was said that after being together for a long time, a mans interest would decrease, but this man became more and more clingy. He didnt even let her sleep! C For the next two days, Qiao Mu was busy at home. Actually, she was not busy at all. She would run around the vi to find something to do while the vi was being cleaned. Finally, it was New Years Eve. Qiao Mu woke up early in the morning. Li Yan was awoken by her and pulled her into his arms unhappily. What are you doing up so early? Im very busy today. I have a lot of things to do. Qiao Mu couldnt hold it in any longer. Li Yan was helpless. He wrapped her in his arms. We can do those things after lunch. Theres no rush. Qiao Mu pouted unhappily when she saw Li Yanszy attitude. Why dont you value the new year so much? You definitely dont love me anymore. Previously, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you tried to create a festive atmosphere for me, but now youre fooling me like this. Men are really not good things! Humph! Qiao Mu grumbled as she slipped away from Li Yans embrace. She got off the bed and tore off the nket that covered Li Yan. Then, she slipped into the bathroom to wash up. Chapter 1028: Their First Spring Festival (1) Chapter 1028: Their First Spring Festival (1) After Qiao Mus torment, Li Yan could forget about sleeping anymore. However, it was only six in the morning, and the sky had just brightened. Qiao Mu woke up very early because of herself, but when she went downstairs, she realized that Yu Yiduo had also woken up. She smiled. Auntie, why are you up so early too? Could it be that Ms. Yu would be excited about the Spring Festival at her age? However, Yu Yiduo looked worried. Sigh, I cant sleep when I think about how Ill age another year after a year. Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, so that was the case. After breakfast, Qiao Mu asked curiously, Uncle, why didnt we prepare fireworks at home? We dont set off fireworks at home. After Li Yan finished speaking, he saw Qiao Mus expression darken. Its fine if you dont put it away, she said understandingly. Its an environmental protection! Li Yan looked at her pretending to be indifferent and patted her head. Sometimes, this little thing was always unwilling to confess her true preferences. Actually, she was looking forward to the fireworks during the Spring Festival, right? In the morning, Qiao Mu filled the coffee table with all kinds of fruit tters. Snacks, nuts, and sweets were ced on te after te, and exquisite fruit tters filled the coffee table. In the afternoon, Li Yan hung the Fu character on a high ground while Qiao Mu directed them from the side. Soon, the two of them decorated the house in a joyous manner. Looking at the festive atmosphere in the house, it felt like a new year. Yu Yiduo sat on the sofa and munched on melon seeds. She watched as Qiao Mu dragged Li Yan up and down the stairs, instructing Li Yan where to stick the word fortune and where to hang the decorations. Her excited and happy expression even infected Li Yan, causing him to smile. Yu Yiduo looked at Li Zheng and sighed, Its the world of the young now. Are we really getting old? Li Zheng sipped his tea. You want toment about your age in front of me? Even if Im old, Ill always be ahead of you. Ill be by your side. Although his words were in, Yu Yiduo was very touched. Thats right, this man was ten years older than her. Although he took good care of himself and did not look much older than a thirty-year-old young man, he was still young. As Yu Yiduo thought about it, she threw herself into Li Zhengs arms. Hubby, Ill try not to make you angry in the future. Take care of yourself. Why dont you anger me and not not anger me? I cant control myself. Sometimes, I just want to throw a tantrum! Yu Yiduos tone was sweet and coy. Li Zhengs face softened instantly. With such a wife, he was willing to be angry. Qiao Mu was instructing Li Yan to hang up the photo frames. She had bought a lot of fresh things for the new year. Then, she turned around and saw Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo hugging each other. She was startled and tugged at Li Yans sleeve. Uncle, look! Li Yan nced at it and continued to work. It was as if he was already used to such situations. Although Qiao Mu knew that these two people were very loving, this was the first time she saw them show it in public. They were already an old couple, yet they were still so loving, making Qiao Mu very envious. Would she and Li Yan be like this many yearster? Li Yan noticed that Qiao Mu was staring down the stairs in a daze, so he said indifferently, Dad, Mom, be careful in public. Dont teach your daughter-inw badly. Qiao Mu was speechless. Yu Yiduo raised her head and red at Li Yan. Youre allowed to show off your love in front of me every day. Its the new year, so I have to provoke you. Li Yan: I cant stimte it. I just feel that Im getting on in years. Im so jealous. [An all-nighter is too inefficient. My head is in a mess. Im too tired. Ill sleep first. When I wake up, Ill dare to update more at 12 oclock.] Chapter 1029: Their First Spring Festival (2) Chapter 1029: Their First Spring Festival (2) Before Yu Yiduo could say anything, Li Zheng was already furious. You brat, how dare you look down on your father? If we didnt have a good rtionship, how could we not raise our EQ to be so high? You can marry a wife today because youve been influenced by your parents feelings since you were young! The corners of Qiao Mus mouth twitched. It seemed like Old Master Lis words made sense. However, was Li Yans EQ really high? He had spent all his intelligence on other things, and his emotional intelligence was obviouslycking. Yu Yiduoforted Li Zheng, Hubby, dont be angry with him. He will have his son to mock him in the future. We wont lower ourselves to his level. Upon hearing this, Li Yan raised an eyebrow and inched closer to Qiao Mu ambiguously. Tell me, when can I have a son? Qiao Mu was speechless. She was originally watching the show from the side, but after hearing Li Yans words, her face could not help but turn red. Hurry up and get to work! Li Yan couldnt help but chuckle and work obediently. The day passed by quickly, and Qiao Mu did not stay idle for a while. Yu Yiduo saw that Qiao Mu was busy, so she pulled her to the sofa and sat down. Mumu, let Li Yan do the rest. The two of us can sit and watch TV and eat snacks.
Qiao Mu was truly too tired, so she sat down to rest. After a while, she went to look for Li Yan again, only to find that he was not at home. She had no idea where he had gone. As night fell, the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers rang out nearby. Qiao Mu leaned against the balcony and looked up into the sky, but she couldnt see anything. She was a little disappointed. At this moment, she saw the servants hanging a very long string of firecrackers in the courtyard. Her eyes lit up immediately. When she heard footsteps approaching from behind, she turned around and saw Li Yan. She said excitedly,Uncle, are you going to set off firecrackers? Yes, ording to tradition, we have to set off firecrackers before dinner. Its very loud. Lets go inside first. Qiao Mu entered the house and stood behind the door to look outside. The servant lit the firecrackers and ran away, and then the crackling sounds exploded in her ears. The firecrackers were very long and rang for a long time. Li Yan was worried that Qiao Mus ears would be shaken, so he covered her ears. The firecrackers only stopped after three minutes. Only when Yu Yiduo shouted that it was time to eat did Qiao Mu follow Li Yan to the dining room. On New Years Eve, every corner of the Li family vi was lit up, and the lights inside and outside shone brightly. The dinner was very sumptuous, and the table was filled with dishes. It was grander than ever before. At this moment, Qiao Mu truly realized that it was New Years Eve. After they sat down, Yu Yiduo raised her ss of red wine. Cheers. Qiao Mu raised her ss. I wish the two of you to be younger and healthier, and to be in love forever. Yu Yiduo smiled. How should I address you? Its very rude not to address him as a greeting. Qiao Mu was a little shy. Even though she had already addressed Yu Yiduo as her mother, she was still a little shy to address Li Zheng differently. After all, she hadnt officially married into the Li family. I think you dont want to change your words for me, right? Li Zheng pretended to be unhappy. Call her mom and call me uncle. If you call us that, can we be loving? Daddy, Mommy, of course youll love each other, Qiao Mu said with a red face. Li Zheng snorted. Although he did not reveal his emotions, he still raised his ss and clinked it with Qiao Mus. Yu Yiduo ignored her husbands awkward expression and smiled at Qiao Mu. Mumu, although its very unhappy for us to be older by a year, the New Year is very beneficial for you. If you grow older by a year, you can officially marry into our family earlier! Li Yan smiled. Mom, so in your eyes, Mumu is not your daughter-inw?
Chapter 1030: Their First Spring Festival (3) Chapter 1030: Their First Spring Festival (3) Of course shes my daughter-inw. Its just that we can do other things when we officially register our marriage! For example, adding another person to our family? Two is better. Yu Yiduoughed happily. Qiao Mu was speechless. It was the new year, was it really good to rush her? Yu Yiduo winked at Qiao Mu. Mumu, dont me me for being anxious. Li Yan is going to be thirty soon. After thirty years old, all aspects of a mans body will deteriorate, and he cant bepared to someone your age. So, for the sake of the quality of my grandchildren, lets work hard. Li Zheng coughed lightly. How can you talk about your own son like that? But Mumu is also my daughter. Im telling the truth! Qiao Mu couldnt help but nce at Li Yan, but the man said calmly, My wife knows whether my body is deteriorating or not. Qiao Mu was speechless. This man simply had no moral integrity! Cant this family have a proper meal? It was the new year, yet he was actually conflicted over such a problem!
Where was the warm and happy atmosphere? Outside the window, the sound of firecrackers continued. Inside the house, there wasughter. As Yu Yiduo talked about happy things, Li Zheng reminded her to control herughter while eating. Qiao Mu saw her smiling face through the polished marble opposite her, as well as the gentleness of the man beside her when he looked at her. Everything was so normal. There was not much difference from before, but it was also too beautiful. Every detail, every sentence, and everyugh could make the sweetness in her heart overflow uncontrobly. After dinner, Qiao Mu drank a few sses of red wine and was currently curled up on the sofa, feeling a little dizzy. Her face was slightly red. The sound of firecrackers outside continued, rising and falling in the air. She looked outside through the French window and could vaguely see some light. Li Yan sat beside her and asked in a low voice, Drunk? No, I havent. Qiao Mu waved her hand and smiled with narrowed eyes. My alcohol tolerance isnt that bad. Im just a little dizzy. As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around his neck. Uncle, I want to set off fireworks. Li Yans lips curled up. Alright, Ill bring you to set off the fireworks. He held her hand and walked out. Qiao Mu followed Li Yan to the door. Li Yan put on a coat and walked out. Uncle, where are we going? she asked in confusion. Youll know when we get there. Just as Qiao Mu was feeling puzzled, Li Yan moved her out of the Li family vi. Outside the vi was a street. Usually, only the residents of the vi area would pass by this road. Usually, there were very few cars passing by. However, at this moment, the streets were filled withFirework! All kinds of fireworks stood on the street. They were so long that one could not see the end, and they upied the entire street. Qiao Mus eyes widened in shock. Thest bit of drunkenness she hadpletely disappeared. She looked at Li Yan in surprise. Didnt you say you wouldnt set off fireworks?
I just wanted to give you a surprise. Li Yans lips curled up as he held Qiao Mus hand and walked along the street to the other end. Then, he picked up his phone and made a call. Lets begin. Immediately after, fireworks shed in the distant sky, emitting beautiful brilliance in the air. One after another, they bloomed continuously. Every pattern was different and unbelievably beautiful.
Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the excited little woman. Her eyes reflected the glow of fireworks as she smiled happily. At this moment, it was as if there were only the two of them in the world. [Later] Chapter 1031: Hubby, I Love You Chapter 1031: Hubby, I Love You Qiao Mu raised her head and met Li Yans gaze. Under the dim light, his pitch-ck eyes blended into the pitch-ck night sky above her head. It was as if there were stars in his eyes that twinkled, causing her heart to race. At this moment, she was so happy that she wanted to cry. She had felt that she was already very happy countless times, but every time, he could create a deeper beauty for her, making her feel that she was always immersed in happiness. This man did not know how to be romantic, but he had given her the romance that she had been looking forward to. Whether it was a proposal or every festival, he had prepared for her with all his heart. It was as if she could read her mind. She could read her mind and everything she did made her so excited that she wanted to scream. The fireworks in the sky were so beautiful that they seemed unreal. Qiao Mus heart skipped a beat, and she stood on her tiptoes to kiss Li Yans lips. Li Yans eyes narrowed. He was only slow for a moment. In the next second, he immediately took the initiative and hooked his lips onto hers, kissing her deeply in response. However, there was no expected French kiss. Li Yan held Qiao Mus slender waist and ended the kiss. He whispered softly into her ear, I dont mind kissing you all the time, but are you sure you want to kiss me instead of enjoying the fireworks? Qiao Mu was speechless.
This was the first time this man had been such a killjoy! Of course, she chose to watch the fireworks! This was a surprise that he had prepared for her. If she only cared about being in love with him and missed such a beautiful gift, she would be very regretful. Qiao Mu looked up at the sky and felt a little tired. She winked at Li Yan. Hubby, can you carry me? Li Yan curled his lips and walked over to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu smiled so widely that her teeth could not be seen. She immediately pounced onto Li Yans back and was carried by him. How could she have such a good husband who loved her so much and spoiled her? He would grant all her requests. She really loved him too much! She pressed her face against his and listened to the loud noise in the air. She whispered in his ear in a very, very soft voice, Hubby, I love you. She didnt seem to have said those three words to him formally. Although the love in her heart was obvious, she still felt shy when she said it. Therefore, she wanted to make use of the loud background noise to confess to him. Anyway, the voice was so loud that he wouldnt hear it. However, the moment she opened her mouth, the surroundings fell silent. Those five words were clearly transmitted into Li Yans ears. Qiao Mu immediately felt embarrassed, but Li Yan maintained his piggyback posture and looked at the sky without any reaction. Did he not hear it? That must be the case. Otherwise, why wouldnt this man have any reaction? However, Qiao Mu did not notice that Li Yans body froze for a moment. A confession without any warning made him so excited that he did not know how to respond for the first time. This little thing actually confessed to him! The fireworks continued to bloom. Although it onlysted for a second before dissipating, the hundreds of fireworkssted for half an hour. Finally, everything was over. Qiao Mu yfully patted Li Yans P share. Lets go home! However, Li Yan put her down. Qiao Mus feetnded on the ground unwillingly. Before she could be carried by him enough, the man suddenly hugged her and kissed her fiercely on the lips. Thats right, it was a fierce kiss. This kiss was too intense and so affectionate that she was stunned for a moment.
Chapter 1032: I Love You Too Chapter 1032: I Love You Too The scattered sounds of fireworks and firecrackers rang out in the distance, but Qiao Mu was no longer in the mood to appreciate it. She could only bear the mans kisses. After a while, he finally let go of her. He hooked her chin and made her look into his eyes. In a low and maic voice, he said,Honey, I love you too. Honey, I love you too Qiao Mu was stunned. He told her that he loved her, but that was not the main point. The main point was that he said he loved her too! In that instant, Qiao Mu did not have the time to rejoice. She red at him in embarrassment and anger. You actually heard my confession and pretended not to hear it! Li Yan smiled. I thought I was hallucinating. Humph! Youre really lucky! Qiao Mu pouted, but she could not conceal the smile on her lips. He said he loved her, and this man said he loved her! He had always been an action person. He could use actions to prove his love for her, but he would not express his love out loud. Therefore, it was indeed not easy to be confessed to by him once.
Li Yan held her hand and ced it in his coat pocket. Its cold outside. Lets go home. Qiao Mu nodded and followed him back step by step. Uncle, well be together every year in the future, right? Yes. What if you get sick of me after spending too much time with me? I wont. Why are you so sure? If I say I wont, then I wont. You dont believe me? I believe you! She believed everything he said. Even if he lied to her, she was willing to be deceived by him for the rest of her life! C When Qiao Mu returned home, she was so cold that her face was red. Yu Yiduo invited her to watch the g together. Although there was nothing much to watch at the g, it was Qiao Mus greatest desire to have a family eat melon seeds and snacks together during the Spring Festival G. In the past, every Chinese New Year, she would hide in her room and sit on the balcony to watch the fireworks outside the window. She would be bored and daydream while she texted Chi Xia to pass the time. Qiao Mu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa. She was originally sitting beside Li Yan, but Yu Yiduo came over and directly squeezed Li Yan onto the sofa on the other side. The two of them sat next to each other with a fruit peel te on their legs, and they kept eating fruits. Li Yan nced at Qiao Mu. He really wanted to pull her into his arms and watch TV with her, but unfortunately, his territory was upied. However, this little woman was so happy that she ate andughed with Madam Yu as if they were mother and daughter. Qiao Mu felt Li Yans gaze and handed over the orange slice she was about to stuff into his mouth. Li Yan opened his mouth and ate it, but he saw Qiao Mu beckoning at him. He thought that this little thing still had some conscience and hoped to sit with him. Uncle, Qiao Mu said, pass me that te of pine nuts. I want to eat it.
Li Yan was speechless. What was wishful thinking? That was him! Qiao Mus phone rang. She opened it and saw a message from Chi Xia asking her what she was doing and if she was having a great time with Li Yan. Qiao Mu very reservedly replied with three words, Its passable.
Then, he asked about Chi Xias condition. Just like in the past, the family had not finished their meal yet. Chi Xias family was very lively during the New Year. Every year, the three big families of one brother and one younger brother would gather together and drink during the meal, so it endedte. Meanwhile, Chi Xia would y with her nephew out of boredom and chat with Qiao Mu to apany her. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 1033: We Will All Be Happy Chapter 1033: We Will All Be Happy Chi Xia was munching on melon seeds as she texted Qiao Mu, Mu Mu, you dont need me to apany you this year, right? Qiao Mu: I know youve been working very hard in the past. Ill give you a big red packet after midnight. Thats more like it. You have a conscience. Qiao Mus smile deepened as she read the message. She tapped on the screen and sent a message:Xiaxia, Im really happy. Chi Xia looked at Qiao Mus message and suddenly felt like crying. She had seen how difficult it had been for Qiao Mu all these years, and finally, the sunny day she had been waiting for finally arrived. She was d to have Li Yan by her side as her good friend. Immediately after, Qiao Mu sent another message. We will all be happy. Chi Xia smiled. Yes, well all be happy. Qiao Mu put down her phone and suddenly wanted to burrow into Li Yans arms. Then, ignoring Yu Yiduo beside her, she directly jumped over to Li Yans side and sat down.
Li Yan looked at her and smiled. Yu Yiduo snorted like a child. Youre really heartless. Mu Mu, I wont treat you well anymore. Qiao Mu smiled. Mommy, dont you have a daddy? Hes just an old man. Whats so rare about him? It was not asfortable as hugging a soft little girl.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo started arguing, but Qiao Mu sat beside Li Yan happily. With the elders around, they couldnt get too close. Qiao Mu peeled the pine nuts and ate them nonstop like a squirrel. Li Yan saw that she was eating with great difficulty, so he started peeling the shells and brought the meat to Qiao Mus mouth. Qiao Mu ate it very naturally. It was warm indoors, but outside, it was snowing. At the same time, Chi Xia was curled up on the sofa with her phone in her hands. After sending the message to Qiao Mu, she identally saw that her chat with Su Chen had not been deleted. If it was a chat record, it was a transaction record. She had transferred 15,000 yuan to Su Chen, but he did not ept it. She did not notice that the debt had been returned to her ount. What was Su Chen doing at this moment? Was he going to sleep after a meal in a cold and empty house? Would he wake up the next day and the new year pass just like that? Perhaps it was because Qiao Mu had always spent New Years Eve alone all these years, which made her heart ache, so when she thought of how Su Chen was also alone, she felt a little upset. After some thought, Chi Xia casually found a topic to talk about, Young Master Su, you didnt ept my transfer. The money has been returned. After the message was sent out, there was no reply. She thought that he did not want to talk to her. However, after a long time, he replied with a simple yes. Chi Xia stared at the screen and pursed her lips. If she didnt want to talk to her, then just ignore her. What was this?
However, Chi Xia could not help but send another message, Young Master Su, have you eaten? This time, he replied with one word: I didnt eat it. Are you going to cook for me? No, Im just asking. In that case, dont ask.
Chi Xia was speechless. You have a chef to cook New Years Eve dinner at the Su residence. Why would you need me to cook? How did you know I was at the Su residence? Then where are you? Are you alone in the apartment? Chi Xia could not believe it. Why would he be alone in an empty house during the New Year? At least there were servants in the Su residence, so it was not so lonely. Chapter 1034: Dont Ask Where I Am If You Dont Want to Accompany Me Chapter 1034: Dont Ask Where I Am If You Dont Want to Apany Men/o/vel/b//in dot c//om After a while, Su Chen replied,[If you dont want to apany me, dont ask me where I am!] Chi Xia was speechless. Why did she feel that this man really wanted her to apany him? At this time, the elders New Years Eve dinner was over and Chi Xias uncles were about to leave. Chi Xias cousin said that he was going to meet up with his friends in the city centerter. There was an event on New Years Eve. Su Chen lived in the city center. Chi Xia suddenly stood up. Ill go too! Everyone in the room looked at Chi Xia. Chi Xia awkwardly exined that she was going to meet her friends. Her parents were naturally worried, so she could only lie and say that she was going to meet Qiao Mu. They knew that Qiao Mu spent the New Year alone in the past, so her parents agreed to it. Then, Chi Xia got into her cousins car in a daze. Her cousin and sister-inw even teased her on the way, saying that she looked like she was going to meet her lover, which made Chi Xia even more embarrassed. However, she suddenly had an urge to see if Su Chen was alone in the apartment. She couldnt describe her feelings, but she had somehowe to Su Chens apartment. Chi Xia went upstairs, keyed in the passcode, and pushed the door open. She saw a bright light in the room and then heard the sound of a g programing from the television
Was Su Chen really here? C On New Years Eve, Su Chen would usually have New Years Eve dinner at his second uncles house, and this year was no exception. After dinner, he left. The fireworks outside the car kept on ringing. He thought of Chi Xia. Chi Xia was obviously a girl who grew up in a beautiful family. Her familys Spring Festival should be very lively. Why would she think of him? Su Chen had wanted to return to the Su residence, but he had nothing better to do as he drove in the direction of the apartment. Recently, he had gotten used to returning to his apartment after work. He would usually go back to his apartment to take a nap when he was workingte into the night. He would usually return to the Su residence, but ever since Chi Xia appeared, the apartment had be his home. She was driving towards the apartment unknowingly! At this moment, his phone rang. He opened the message and saw that it was from Chi Xia. He texted her as he drove. Before he knew it, he had already arrived at the apartment. Even though he knew that she would never appear, he still couldnt help but feel hopeful. He was really crazy. That woman couldnt wait to stay away from him. At this moment, she was happily celebrating New Years Eve at home. Why would she take the initiative toe to him? However, she was already here and didnt want to go back. She turned and went upstairs. He went into the bathroom to take a shower, then turned on the television. The Spring Festival G was ying on the television. He leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes to rest, listening to the sounding from the television. The television was loud enough to drown out the sound of the door opening. Chi Xia had not thought of what to say to Su Chen when she saw him, but by the time she reacted, she had already walked past the entrance and arrived at the living room. The man on the sofa looked lonely. On a festival like this, he should be celebrating with his family, but he was alone. He had his eyes closed, perhaps he had fallen asleep. Chi Xia stood at the side and stared at him for a long time before approaching him. Su Chen did not fall asleep. He was not interested in the Spring Festival G. He closed his eyes to rest and listened to the music to pass the time. However, he suddenly felt faint and almost imperceptible footsteps, causing him to involuntarily open his eyes. [New January: Starting from this month, there will be a minimum of six updates per day. There will be two updates at the beginning of next month.]
Chapter 1035: Have You Always Pity Me? Chapter 1035: Have You Always Pity Me? Su Chen opened his eyes and suddenly saw the woman standing beside him. His dark eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the figure. He frowned. At this moment, he felt like he was hallucinating. Could it be that he missed this woman so much that he saw her standing in front of him? At this time, she should be at home celebrating New Years Eve Chi Xia was caught off guard when she saw Su Chen open his eyes. Before she could think of anything to say, she felt his sharp gaze on her. She panicked and at that moment, the man in front of her closed his eyes again. Chi Xia was stunned. What did he mean? Did he not see her? Su Chen closed his eyes and quickly opened them again. This was the first time he was so uncertain about something and suspected that there was something wrong with himself. However, when he opened his eyes again, the woman was still there, looking at him with confusion. Su Chens eyes darkened. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. She fell defenseless on his chest and let out a low cry. Then, arge hand reached behind her head and pressed her head against him. Before Chi Xia could react, his lips were kissed. The series of events made Chi Xias mind go nk. When she touched his lips, she was stunned and panicked.
At this moment, Su Chen no longer wanted to control his thoughts. When he touched the real her, a certain emotion instantly exploded.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om He pressed her tightly against his chest and kissed her so intensely that it seemed like he wanted to swallow her whole. Chi Xia struggled, but she could not break free from him. Their bodies were pressed together, and a dangerous aura surrounded her. She bit his tongue in a panic and pushed Su Chen away while he was in pain. She staggered up, but before she could stand properly, she slipped and fell onto Su Chen again. Su Chen wrapped his arms around her waist and hooked her chin, making her look at him. Chi Xia, dont tell me that you came looking for me on New Years Eve just to seduce me. Youre thinking too much! Chi Xia bit her lip, pushed him away, and turned to leave. Su Chen narrowed his eyes and chased after her, blocking her way. You want to leave after failing to lure her? I didnt seduce you! He was clearly the one who had been Then why did youe? Su Chen looked down at the woman in front of him. He really wanted to know why she would appear at this time. This woman, she had done everything she could to return home early to stay away from him, but now she had taken the initiative to appear in front of him! Chi Xias lips were still burning hot. Thinking of what this man had done to her just now, she was furious and red at him. I pity you for spending the New Year alone, so I came to see if youve starved to death! Pity me? Su Chens eyes darkened. He pinched her chin and questioned her coldly,So, youve always pitied me? Chi Xia regretted saying that. She was just too excited and identally said something overboard. She did not mean it that way. Chi Xia was about to deny it when she heard the mans cold voice, Should I thank you for having such sympathetic feelings for me? Hmm? In your eyes, Im so pitiful that you need to sacrifice your energy to deal with me, right? No You can go now! Su Chen interrupted Chi Xia coldly. Didnt you hear me? Arent you afraid of getting yourself into trouble? Chapter 1036: I Will Disappear Immediately Chapter 1036: I Will Disappear Immediately Chi Xia knew that she had gone overboard with her unintentional words, but did this man need to be so angry? She lowered her head and apologized softly. Su Chen turned around and entered the bedroom. He said coldly, Get out of my sight immediately! Chi Xia clenched her fists and turned to leave. Without looking back, she mmed the door shut. She had already apologized, so why was he still putting on such a sour face? Didnt this man always know this? He had always been temperamental and would change his attitude towards her ording to his mood. Chi Xia stood outside the door, feeling indescribably down. She had originally wanted to confirm if he was spending the New Year alone, yet they parted on bad terms. She stood outside the door for a while and suddenly felt a little wronged. At this time, she should have been at home celebrating New Years Eve with the whole family sitting around in front of the television. However, because of her stupid behavior, she had be so lonely! Wasnt she asking for trouble bying to find him? She hade out on impulse and had not considered how to go back at all.
On New Years Eve, even if they took a taxi, they should have gone home already, right? Was she going to spend New Years Eve outside alone? Inside the room, Su Chen stood rooted to the ground for a long time, staring at the tightly shut door. This woman had just left! She was furious. She hade to look for him, but he had chased her away just like that! However, when he thought of what she had said just now, he could not suppress his anger. He had always thought that their rtionship had at least be closer during this period of time. Even if she was not enlightened, he could take it slow. He was confident that he would be able to enlighten her. However, it turned out that this woman pitied him! She had indeed developed feelings for him, but it was a pitiful feeling! After a while, the crackling of firecrackers outside the window interrupted Su Chens train of thought. Only then did he realize what time it was. Her house was so far away. Why was she here? How could he go back? At this moment, Su Chen felt like he had gone mad from anger. That was why he was so irrational! He strode to the door and rushed out without changing his clothes. He quickly rushed to the elevator, but he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the door. He saw the woman leaning against the wall pitifully and squatting on the ground. She looked like she had been abandoned!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om He was the one who was abandoned! Chi Xia did not expect him toe out. She was stunned when she saw his anxious look. She stood up and walked past him with her head lowered, heading towards the elevator. Su Chen stepped forward and pulled her back. She waved her hand and muttered softly, Im sorry for upying your familys territory. Ill leave now. How do you want to go? he asked coldly. Its none of your business. How are you going back? Su Chen asked again with pursed lips. Chi Xia felt a lump in her throat when she heard his forceful tone. She became agitated. Its my own business how I go back. You want me to disappear from your sight, so why do you care? Even if I walk back, its my own business. You dont have to worry about it. Since you dont want to see me, I wont appear in front of you in the future. Dont worry, I wont sue you for breach of contract. I dont need you topensate me. Ill return the extra sry you gave me! Chi Xia said a lot of things in one breath, her attitude fierce. She did not care if she would anger Su Chen or not, it did not matter anyway.
Chapter 1037: Why Didnt You Listen to Me? Chapter 1037: Why Didnt You Listen to Me? In the past, it was because she was afraid that if she angered him, he would do something overboard to her. Later on, they had a contract and he was her boss. She was even more respectful in front of him and treated him as her boss. But now, he said that he wanted her to disappearpletely, which meant that their rtionship would end here. What was she afraid of? Su Chen took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to seal her mouth. This was the first time this woman had said so much to her. She had said a lot in one breath, and every word was so unpleasant to hear! The elevator door opened. Chi Xia was about to enter when Su Chen dragged her into the room. Chi Xia struggled and the more she struggled, the tighter Su Chen held onto her. When Chi Xia entered the room, Su Chen mmed the door shut to prevent her from running away. The loud bang startled Chi Xia. She looked at him in panic, her eyes full of vignce. You What are you doing? Chi Xia did not know much about this man. She did not know if he would hit her in a fit of anger. Su Chen frowned and curled his lips coldly. Werent you very capable just now? Why, are you not confident now?
Chi Xia bit her lip. You made me disappear! You disappeared just because I told you to. Then Ill leave first and tell you toe back. Why didnt you listen to me? N?v(el)B\\jnn Why should I listen to you about everything? I have dignity too! Chi Xia retorted in a low voice. Su Chen snorted. You have dignity, but you dont allow me to have dignity? Being pitied by a woman all the time, Im normally angry and fierce to you. Do you have to be so aggrieved? Chi Xia was stunned. She lowered her head and didnt say anything. After a while, she mumbled, Ive already apologized. Im leaving! Are you nning to walk back? No Chi Xia, dont you dare say that again! She wanted to say that it had nothing to do with him and push him a thousand miles away! Chi Xia quietly turned around and opened the door. This time, Su Chen did not stop her. The door wasnt closed, and there were some noises inside the room. Then, the sound of footsteps approached. She turned around and saw that he had already changed his shoes and clothes and was following behind her. Then, he walked to her side and held her hand as they entered the elevator. At the same time, the mans unhappy voice sounded.Do you really want to walk back by yourself? At this moment, Chi Xia felt like crying. What right does this man have! What right did he have to be fierce to her whenever he wanted to be fierce? When he wanted to be good, he could be so considerate! She pulled her hand away from his. She wanted to tell him confidently that she could go home without him, but she couldnt bring herself to say it. At this time, he was the only one she could rely on. The helplessness she felt when she was squatting at the door waspletely resolved because of him. After some thought, she mumbled,Its only right for you to send me off. I snuck out to see you!
Su Chen sneered. Youre getting paid. Youre really dedicated. You even pity me on New Years Eve? Chi Xia was speechless. She had already apologized. She really didnt mean to pity him. She just wanted to show some concern for him on such a day. However, in the end, she realized that she was wrong to care about him. C
The car drove on the road, and it was very quiet in the car. Chi Xia looked at the man beside her and tried to find a topic to talk about. Young Master Su, Im sorry to have troubled you. Su Chens lips curled up coldly. Youre not Shuo. Should I give you a ride? Anyway, Im alone. It doesnt matter if I send you off or not. I should thank you for taking pity on me! Chapter 1038: New Years Eve Together (1) Chapter 1038: New Years Eve Together (1) I really didnt mean it that way. I just wanted to see if you were spending the New Year alone. Who asked you to suddenly go overboard with me? Thats why I said something overboard too. Chi Xia thought to herself that she did note to see him on New Years Eve to make him angry. Although it was a little unpleasant, she really wanted to care about him. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Did I do something overboard to you? You came to see me on New Years Eve. Arent you hinting at me to do something to you? Su Chen then turned to Chi Xia. What do you think? If you dont pity me, what do you mean? I was just passing by and came to see you. Chi Xia lowered her head. Passing by? So you sleepwalked here? Su Chen looked at Chi Xia, his eyes darkened. He turned the steering wheel and stopped the car by the roadside. Chi Xia looked up at him in confusion and heard his voice, Since you sleepwalked past my house, you can sleepwalk back. It seems unnecessary for me to send you back. Chi Xia was speechless. Why arent you getting out of the car? Su Chen looked at Chi Xia and lifted her chin, his dark eyes emitting a mysterious light. Chi Xia, you better make it clear to me. I dont like it when youre being ambiguous with me. Tell me, are you in love with me? If so, I can give you a chance
Impossible! Before Su Chen could finish, Chi Xia denied agitatedly, Im just used to taking care of you, so I just wanted to confirm how you celebrate the new year. I dont mean anything else, dont think too much! Is that so? Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Even though she told him not to think too much, he still thought too much. He leaned closer to her, hooked her chin, and nted a kiss on her lips. His tone was domineering. Since youre used to it, youd better continue to get used to it! Chi Xias eyes widened. Why are you kissing me again? Have you forgotten our contract? Since youre so easily used to it, then continue to get used to my kiss!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chi Xia gritted her teeth and could not be bothered to argue with him anymore. Once again, she was certain that her brain must have been cramped foring to him on impulse tonight! The car continued to drive. On the way, the fireworks outside continued. Chi Xia tilted her head and looked at the man beside her. Young Master Su, why didnt you go back to the Su residence? Have you had dinner? I didnt eat. Su Chen said coldly. Chi Xia was stunned. You really didnt eat? Then go back. Ill cook for you. Youre really attentive. Why, are you starting to pity me again? I said I didnt! Su Chen snorted coldly and did not say anything else. However, Chi Xia still felt uneasy and asked, Why dont we go to a restaurant thats open? Su Chen nced at her. Im not as pitiful as you think. Im not at the point where I have to spend New Years Eve alone. Chi Xia was stunned. Why did he lie to her that he hadnt eaten?! Thinking about it, Chi Xia felt that she was being too nosy. She had a bunch of rtives in her family. The Su Family was a big family. Her father would not be the only child. He must have rtives. Chi Xia lowered her head and said nothing. The car passed by a grand fireworks disy. Many private cars stopped around to admire the fireworks. Chi Xia raised her head and looked out the window. Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw the brilliance in the sky.
Su Chen stopped the car and looked at the woman beside him. Her big eyes were sparkling with fireworks, and her face was unbelievably beautiful under the light in the sky. Chapter 1039: New Years Eve Together (2) Chapter 1039: New Years Eve Together (2) Su Chen had seen all kinds of beautiful women. To him, women were all the same. He would never remember what the other partys facial features looked like. However, this womans appearance was clearly imprinted in his mind. As long as he closed his eyes, he would be able to think of her. Chi Xia looked at Su Chen and asked expectantly, Young Master Su, lets get out of the car and watch the fireworks for a while, okay? As she spoke, she was afraid that he wouldnt like it, so she quickly added, If youre not interested and are in a hurry, then forget it. Su Chen frowned. How unreasonable did this woman think of him? She had no idea that he could not wait to spend more time with her. He opened the door and got out of the car without a word. Chi Xia was stunned for a moment before she followed him out of the car happily. There were a lot of people at the fireworks disy. Chi Xia found a suitable spot to watch the fireworks while Su Chen stood beside her. There would be a wave of fireworks every ten minutes. After a short period of silence, it suddenly reached its peak. Dozens of fireworks bloomed in the sky. The beautiful scene made people want to scream. Chi Xia jumped up excitedly and tugged at Su Chen subconsciously, eximing that she was too beautiful. Su Chens gaze was fixed on Chi Xias face. She was looking at the fireworks in the sky while he was looking at her. There was no other beautiful scenery that was more beautiful than her.
Her intimate actions made his heart feel warm. Finally, after the fireworks ended, Chi Xia realized that one of her hands was tugging at Su Chens sleeve while the other was held by him. She was stunned. Before she could react, Su Chen had already held her hand and walked towards the car. This strange feeling caused Chi Xias heart to waver. She did not know when he had held her hand, but she actually did not feel disgusted. Could it be that he had gotten used to holding hands and kissing after doing it too many times? While Chi Xia was still in a daze, Su Chen opened the car door and turned around to see her dazed expression. He raised his eyebrows. Do you need me to carry you into the car? She suddenly reacted and got into the car. After the intimate act just now, Chi Xias heart was not calm anymore. She suddenly realized that something seemed to have changed between her and Su Chen. At this moment, her hand that was ced at the side was suddenly touched. She reflexively flicked her hand away and looked at Su Chen in shock. Su Chens face darkened because of her actions. He drove the car with one hand and reached out to her. Give me your hand. Chi Xia was speechless. Why should she give him her hand? Although she had some thoughts in her heart, she still did as she was told. Su Chen grabbed her hand and frowned. Why didnt you put on more clothes when you came out sote at night? My hands are as cold as popsicles. Chi Xia was stunned. So, he was concerned about her? This man actually cared about how little clothes she wore? He felt a warm touch on his hand and held her hand tightly, driving away her cold. Chi Xias heart skipped a beat. That unfamiliar feeling made her forget to shake his hand off.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Just like that, they remained silent throughout the journey. However, their hands were sped together, as if they were a couple, so intimate.
It was supposed to be a two-hour journey, but Su Chen took more than half an hour. Su Chen did not listen to Chi Xia and stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood. Instead, he drove straight into the neighborhood and asked Chi Xia to point him in the right direction. After stopping the car, Su Chen let go of Chi Xias hand naturally. Chi Xia got out of the car as if she was running away, and Su Chen followed her. Chapter 1040: New Years Eve Together (3) Chapter 1040: New Years Eve Together (3) Chi Xia looked at the man walking towards her and waved her hand. Young Master Su, Im going back. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Wait a little longer. Su Chen raised his arm and looked at his watch. There were still a few seconds left. Chi Xia was puzzled and was about to speak when the sound of fireworks and firecrackers rang out all around them. The sound of firecrackers rose and fell one after another. In almost an instant, the sound of firecrackers continued. It was already midnight! Chi Xia never expected that she would be with him on New Years Eve this year. Su Chen pulled Chi Xia into his arms amidst the loud noises around him. Shouldnt you be greeting me at this time? Happy New Year, Chi Xia said in a daze. Mmm, Happy New Year, Chi Xia. Thank you for spending the New Year with me. As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her lips. She was kissed again! Chi Xias heart skipped a beat as a strange feeling surged in her heart, interrupting her train of thought.
He actually thanked her! Chi Xia was stunned. She knew that Su Chen had left her lips, but she still kept her head up and stared at him nkly. His face was in the shadows, so she couldnt see it clearly. Vaguely, the corners of his mouth curled up, and then his deep voice sounded again,Looks like youve really gotten used to kissing me. Not bad. Chi Xia was speechless. She snapped back to her senses, pushed him away with a red face, and turned around to run. However, before she could take two steps, a certain man grabbed her from behind. She turned around angrily. Youve already taken advantage of me. What else do you want? Su Chen looked at her with a deep gaze and a serious expression. However, the words he said almost made Chi Xia furious. I wanted to tell you that I didnt deduct your daily sry for dying work for three days. So, you have toe back to work three days earlier than usual after the New Year. Chi Xia was speechless. Su Chen said and got into the car. Chi Xias face was red with anger as she stomped into the corridor. Actually, she didnt want to admit that she blushed because she was shy! Su Chen sat in the car and watched Chi Xias figure disappear. The smile on his face deepened. Outside the car window, the sound of firecrackers could be heard. Every house was lit up. Although he was alone on the street, he had never felt as fulfilled as he had this year. C At the Li familys vi. The sound of the hosts countdown to the new year came from the television. Following the noise of the party, the sound of firecrackers outside rang out. Qiao Mu was currently leaning against Li Yan and had already fallen asleep in a daze. When she heard the sound, she abruptly sat up and looked around. Then, she realized that she and Li Yan were the only ones left in the living room. Li Yan caressed her face and whispered, Mu Mu, Happy New Year.
Qiao Mu grinned and wrapped her arms around Li Yans neck, rubbing her head against his neck. Uncle, I wish you a happy new year! Li Yan curled his lips into a smile. Then, he saw the little woman stretch out her hand to him happily. Wheres the red packet? Qiao Mu only asked out of the blue. Li Yan had indeed prepared red packets for the new year, and they were all for the servants. However, she did not get a share, so she did not expect him to take out a red packet. However, to her surprise, Li Yan took out a red packet and ced it on her palm as if he was performing magic.
Qiao Mus eyes widened and she couldnt stop smiling. Thank you, Uncle. Let me see how many red tickets youve prepared for me. The red packet was t and not as thick as the one he gave to the servant. She guessed that he must not have prepared anything and gave her an empty red packet. Chapter 1041: New Years Eve Together (4) Chapter 1041: New Years Eve Together (4) However, when she opened the red packet, she saw a bank card. .. Wasnt this man too tacky? Before she could ask, Li Yan exined, This is my personal savings card. It contains all my cash and assets. Give me your bank card for safekeeping, so you have to safeguard mine too. So it was like this! Qiao Mu was very curious about how much money there was in there, and she had already expected to count many zeros. Li Yan could see through her mischievous thoughts, so he smiled and said, Your mans most valuable asset isnt cash, but real estate. Look forward to the red packet next year. Why wait until next year? If youre sincere, give it to me together! Qiao Mu joked. Youll be 20 years old next year, Li Yan said with a smile. 20 years old Qiao Mu blushed. She could register her marriage at the age of 20! This man had been nning for a year!
Wheres Daddy and Mommy? Qiao Mu suddenly thought of something and asked. They cant stay up until midnight. Theyre already asleep. Ill give them a New Years greeting tomorrow morning. He caressed her head and looked at her red eyes. If youre sleepy, go to sleep. No, I want to watch the party with you. Qiao Mu insisted, and Li Yan was more than willing to apany her. C New Years Eve passed in a sh, and every detail was so fulfilling. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Mu was woken up by the sound of firecrackers early in the morning. She opened her eyes in a daze and felt that she was still beside him. She rubbed herself against his chest and mumbled, Uncle, Happy New Year. Give me a red packet. Li Yan looked at her. Didnt I give it to you on New Years Eve? New Years Eve is New Years Eve. The first day of the New Year is the first day of the New Year. Ill pay my respects to you once, so you have to pay your respects to me once. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Li Yan was speechless. This little thing! He got out of bed slowly. Ive given you all my savings. If you still want a red packet, go downstairs and wish your inws a happy new year. Qiao Mu pursed her lips. How petty. Dont you still have real estate? So, youre starting to reveal your true nature now? Li Yan reached his hands under the nket and scratched Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu giggled non-stop as she hooked her arms around his neck and started to do it conveniently. She leaned into his arms and whispered, Happy New Year, Uncle. Yeah, I wont give you red packets even if you say it a few times. Li Yan smiled. Hmph, youre all mine. Why would I be afraid that your assets would run away? Qiao Mu rubbed herself against it before she got up and went into the bathroom. After washing up, Qiao Mu changed into her own clothes and then helped Li Yan match his clothes. Li Yans clothes were designed by her, and when he wore them, he felt like he had fallen several levels. Really, there was no such thing as the most handsome, only more handsome! Qiao Mu hugged Li Yans waist before she walked out of the bedroom. She looked up at him. Happy New Year, Li Yan.
Li Yan could not help butugh. This was the fourth time she had said Happy New Year to him. He patted her head and replied,We will all be happy. Yes, Ive always been so happy! It was great that the first New Year she spent with him could be so wonderful. The two of them lingered in the room for a long time before finally going downstairs.
Downstairs, Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo were handing out red packets to the servants. Qiao Mu saw this and quickly walked up. Dad, Mom, Happy New Year! I wish you guys to be younger, Daddy to be more handsome, Mommy to be more beautiful, healthy, happy, and loving forever! Chapter 1042: Everything Is Wonderful Chapter 1042: Everything Is Wonderful Hearing Qiao Mus blessings, Yu Yiduo couldnt stop smiling. It was really fortunate to have a daughter. Even the New Years greetings were so touching, unlike Li Yan, who only said Happy New Year, Mom and did not continue. Yu Yiduo took out a thick red packet from her bag and handed it to Qiao Mu. At the same time, she gave Qiao Mu all sorts of blessings and praised Qiao Mu from top to bottom. She was beautiful, virtuous, and elegant, and all sorts of words to describe a beauty were thrown at Qiao Mu. This time, it was Qiao Mus turn to smile from ear to ear. Then, Qiao Mu looked at Li Zheng, who also gave her a red packet. Touching the thick red packet, she felt that it was a real red packet, which was much more substantial than a bank card. Qiao Mu turned around and unted her red packet at Li Yan. Li Yan smiled helplessly, and after he paid his New Years greetings to Yu Yiduo and Li Zheng, he did not receive any red packets. Qiao Mu was in a good mood because of this unfair treatment. Then, the servants came to pay their New Years greetings to her and said, Happy New Year, Young Madam. This was the first time Qiao Mu had heard this form of address. Although she was a little embarrassed, she tacitly agreed. In this way, her status would be different. Therefore, when the servants wished her a happy new year, she had to give them red packets. However, she was so focused on receiving red packets that she did not prepare any red packets at all. Qiao Mu turned around and saw a few red packets in Li Yans hands. She quickly snatched them over and handed them to the servants one by one. She said a bunch of blessings, and the servants left happily with the red packets. Li Yans smile deepened when he saw Qiao Mu behaving like a mistress. After that, Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo intimately held each others arms as they headed to the dining room to eat.
They had dumplings for breakfast. After breakfast, the doorbell rang. Someone wasing to visit. Su Chen and Ling Xi entered, followed by Lu Jingzhi. The three of them paid their New Years greetings, and Yu Yiduo gave each of them a red packet. Ling Xi then looked at Qiao Mu. Sister-inw, arent you going to give us a red packet? Red packets? Qiao Mu was very stingy, alright? She smiled and said, First of all, Im not your real sister-inw yet. ording to my age, if I should give you a red packet, you should be the one giving it to me, right? Hearing Qiao Mus words, Ling Xi looked at Li Yan. However, his big brother would not usually step forward to help him at this time. Then, Ling Xi could only pass the red packet that he had just taken from Yu Yiduo to Qiao Mu and casually said, Sister-inw, Happy New Year. This is for you. Aiya, I was just saying. Young Master Ling is really too polite. Qiao Mu spoke politely, but her hands unceremoniously ced the red packet into her bag. Ling Xi was speechless. Since Ling Xi had already done so, Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi were not spared either. They could only give the red packet to Qiao Mu. This time, Qiao Mu gained a lot. Yu Yiduo smiled happily and said proudly, Our Mumu is really too sensible and virtuous. She knows how to save money for our family even before we get married. Shes so stingy. As expected of my good daughter. She deserves praise! Qiao Mu was speechless. Ms. Yu, this really wasnt something worth bragging about.N?v(el)B\\jnn The three of them left after paying their New Years greetings and continued to visit other families. Li Yan also left. Li Zheng and Yu Yiduos old friends were Li Yans elders, so they naturally had to go and visit. After Li Yan left, Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo waited at home for others to visit them. Every time someone came, they would be confused about Qiao Mus identity. Yu Yiduo proudly introduced, This is our daughter-inw, my sons fiance. This made Qiao Mu feel very embarrassed. Chapter 1043: Being Together with Li Yan Was Very Blissful Chapter 1043: Being Together with Li Yan Was Very Blissful To Qiao Mu, interacting with friends and family on the first day of the new year was a very professional experience. In the past, she would also sit in the living room of the Qiao family and stare at her rtives and friends who came to visit her. At that time, she would pretend to be a good girl. Every time Yu Tingyuns rtives came, they would dig their eyes at her and look down on her. She did not feel the festive atmosphere at all. However, it waspletely different now. Looking at Yu Yiduos smiling face and the warm greetings from the guests, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart. At the thought of Qiao Jiannan, Qiao Mu greeted Yu Yiduo and went upstairs to call Qiao Jiannan to wish him a happy new year. This year, Qiao Jiannan and Qiao Ya were the only ones left in the Qiao family. The Qiao family was deserted, so Qiao Jiannan did not spend the New Year at the Qiao familys vi. Instead, he went to his rtives house. Qiao Mu gave Qiao Jiannan a call. Qiao Jiannan was happy after the New Years greetings and said that he would give her a red packet when they met. Mumu, did you have a good time during the Spring Festival this year? Qiao Jiannan asked after a while. How are you doing in the Li family? Qiao Mu felt her nose sting when she heard the concerned question on the other end of the phone. In order to dispel Qiao Jiannans uncertainty, she said firmly, Daddy, Im very happy. Im very happy to be with Li Yan. Thats good. Daddy wishes you well. Qiao Jiannan smiled. After hanging up, Qiao Mu felt even more rxed. Thats right, she was very blissful. C n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Qiao Mu stayed at home from the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, and she was happy every day. Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo were going back to United States for a while. They had been in China for a long time and had many friends to meet in America. On the fourth day of the new year, Li Zheng and Yu Yiduo set off. Li Yan and Qiao Mu sent them to the airport. At the airport, Qiao Mu and Yu Yiduo hugged each other like sisters, and they couldnt bear to part. Qiao Mu was really reluctant to part with her, so she hugged Yu Yiduo and said, Mom, youre fine now. Come back to China early. Alright, as long as my precious daughter calls and says she misses me, Ill fly back immediately. We have a private jet at home, so we cane and go as we please. Yu Yiduo spoke like a nouveau riche. Mommy, I miss you now. Dont leave. Yu Yiduo: Okay, Mommy wont go. Let your Daddy go alone! Li Zheng was speechless. In the end, Li Zheng dragged Yu Yiduo to board the ne, and Qiao Mu followed Li Yan out of the airport. Qiao Mu was unhappy when she saw Li Yans nonchnt expression. Are you your biological son? Arent you a little depressed after being separated from your parents? Li Yan nced at her. They have each otherspany, and I have you. Ill only be depressed if I separate from you. Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, she gave full marks to this sweet talk! However, raising a son was indeed for another woman! C Lu Jingzhi was also heading to the airport on the same day. He was going to Hong Kong. When Qiao Mu heard Li Yan mention this, sheughed. Lu Jingzhi finally couldnt hold it in anymore and wants to meet Baby Guan! He said hes going to visit the Guan family to pay a New Year visit, Li Yan said calmly. The drunkards intentions are not in the wine. Qiao Mu thought of something and discussed with Li Yan. When Lu Jingzhi and the otherse back, shall we invite them over for dinner? Shouldnt friends visit each other to eat and drink during the New Year? Tell them to bring their family members. This way, your friends and my friends will all be here! Li Yan looked at her expectant expression and smiled. Okay, Ill listen to you. Chapter 1044: For the sake of a man, do you have any future? Chapter 1044: For the sake of a man, do you have any future? Qiao Mu hugged his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Then, she opened her WeChat and sent a group message, asking everyone what they were doing and when they would be back. I want to wait until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year when my rtives are done visiting before I go back, Chi Xia said. Qiao Mu smiled. Xiaxia, why are you back so early? Do you have a ce to stay? Or are you going to join Young Master Su? Chi Xia was speechless. Goodbye! It was obvious that Qiao Mu was right. Su Chen wanted her to go back to work three days earlier, which meant that he wanted her to go back tomorrow. However, once she was home, she could not care less. He had already taken advantage of her, and it would not benefit her at all if she went back earlier. Anyway, he could not do anything to her at home. Immediately after, Baby Guan popped up in the group:I cant go back for the time being. Theres too much going on at home. Have you contacted Lu Jingzhi? Qiao Mu asked. Im too busy to bother with him. Obviously, Baby Guan did not know that Lu Jingzhi had gone to Hong Kong. At this moment, Baby Guan was busy entertaining her family. Baby Guan had a lot of rtives, but their rtionships were veryplicated. The rtives seemed to have a good rtionship, but they were secretly scheming. Therefore, Baby Guan disliked the contact between rtives during the New Year. However, Father Guan and Mother Guan were smart enough to travel abroad on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Only Baby Guan and her brother were left at home. That day, Guan Baobeis aunt invited all her rtives and friends to attend the banquet she held. It was said to be a family banquet, but there were many business celebrities. Although Baby Guan really didnt want to participate, her parents werent at home, so she and her brother could only represent their family. Her aunt already had all kinds of opinions about her. If she didnt participate, she would be criticized. However, Baby Guan had always been a carefree person, so she didnt want to argue with them. During the banquet, Baby Guan was sitting on the sofa and texting Qiao Mu out of boredom. When she mentioned Lu Jingzhi, she thought for a moment. She had not seen him for half a month, and she wondered if he was as carefree as ever. At midnight on New Years Eve, she received a call from him. After that, she didnt contact him anymore. She only saw a missed call this morning. When she replied, he turned off his phone. She didnt know if this man was doing something that he didnt want others to disturb. Thinking of Lu Jingzhi, Baby Guan stared nkly at the man in front of her. She had already made up her mind to cut ties with this man and not marry him. However, after not seeing him for a few days, she kept thinking about what he was doing. Every time this happened, she felt that she was useless. Why could she not escape from that mans ws? At this moment, a wealthydy walked up to Chi Xia and saw her sitting on the sofa doing nothing. She was very displeased, Baby, its not that I want to criticize you, but are you hiding here in such an asion? Dont me me for not reminding you. The distinguished guests here are all people with status. There are many noble young masters. You should seize this opportunity to get close to them. Baby Guan smiled. Aunt, thank you for your kindness. Im not interested in them. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Are you really not interested, or are you still unwilling to give up on that Lu guy? Your parents spoil you, but you cant be so stubborn. Ill have to talk to you about it. Why did you go to such a faraway university for a man? Dont you have any future? Chapter 1045: Baby Guan Is My Fiancée (1) Chapter 1045: Baby Guan Is My Fiance (1) Baby Guan looked at her calmly. Aunt, my parents didnt say anything about me going to university. You dont have to worry about it, right? Youre really insensible. Im thinking about your future. Its not a bad thing for a girl to find a rich man. There are many suitable candidates here today, but you have to fall in love with a man who doesnt like you. The Lu Corporation is famous in the business world. How can any girl hook up with him? Guan Baobeis aunt, Madam Guan, said a lot. Although she said that she was concerned, there was a hidden sarcasm.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Baby Guans face darkened and she said rudely, Aunt, youre bing more and more nosy. Baby Guan, as your elder, Im just being nice to you. Also, girls shouldnt be as rough as you. Women should be more delicate, like your cousin. Why would a girl like you practice martial arts? No man would want you! I have a lot of people who want me. Just put 10,000 letters. Baby Guan said coldly. She regretteding here again. Madam Guan nced at Baby Guan and smiled disapprovingly. Alright, baby, dont be angry with me. Lets go. Ill bring you to meet those rich young masters. Youll definitely like them. Baby Guan wanted to refuse, but Madam Guan pulled her into the crowd. Give me some face. Im just worried that you wont be able to get married. Im worried about your parents! Baby Guan took a deep breath. Was she trying to p her parents in the face? She wanted to tell everyone that no one wanted her and take the opportunity to mock her. Her aunt was eager for others to live a worse life than her. How could she really introduce a good man to her?
This was a family banquet, so Baby Guan had to endure it to not re up. Soon, she was dragged in front of a man. From his sloppy appearance, she could tell that he was an ignorant second-generation heir. After the introduction, the other party stared at her with shining eyes, which made her very disgusted. Baby Guan smiled coldly. Sir, do you know how to defend yourself? I dont have any other merits. Ive been fighting and killing with my brother in the gang since I was young. I dont really like the refined type. Guan Baobeis aunt was unhappy with Guan Baobeis words. She smiled and said, Young Master Jia, my niece is not verydylike. Please dont take offense. However, Master Jia waved his hand with great interest. I like girls with personality like Miss Guan. Shall we be friends? Baby Guan sneered. We can be friends, but lets have apetition first. How about that? Young Master Jia smiled and nodded. Sure, sure. Where shall wepete? Lets go now. The man held Baby Guans hand and squeezed it in a dishonest manner. Ms. Guan was dumbfounded. Baby Guan had always been aloof. In the past, when she mentioned that she was her boyfriend, she would always proudly say that she had a fianc and that her fianc would marry her. It seemed that she had been defeated by Lu Jingzhi, which was why she was willing to make do with any man. Baby Guan ced the wine ss in her hand to the side and held Master Jias hand. She smiled and said, Lets fight here. As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed his hand with one hand and ced the other on his shoulder. She kicked him and exerted force in her hand. A series of actions were swift and agile. In the next second, the man was thrown to the ground by her. Chapter 1046: Baby Guan Is My Fiancée (2) Chapter 1046: Baby Guan Is My Fiance (2) Young Master Jia screamed in pain, his heavy body falling to the ground. Fortunately, Baby Guan had shown mercy, so he didnt let the other party eat dog sh * t. At this moment, a tall figure walked in from the entrance of the banquet. There were many people present, but he saw Baby Guan at a nce and threw a man to the ground. This woman had actually moved to such an asion. However, when she saw the slightly plump man holding her hand, she deserved to be thrown. Guan Yunxiang saw Lu Jingzhi and walked over with a smile. Young Master Lu, youre here. Does Baby know that youreing? She didnt pick up when I called her. I dont know yet. Master Guan, whats going on with her? Lu Jingzhi rushed to the banquet as soon as he got off the ne. He had contacted Guan Yunxiang and wanted to see Baby Guan as soon as possible. He had not seen her for half a month, but this woman was dressed so stunningly and was even taken advantage of by another man. He was very unhappy. Hell be fine after a fall? He wanted to chop off that mans hand! Guan Yunxiang looked at Lu Jingzhis expression and smiled. You know, our house is very messy, but my baby can handle it. Lu Jingzhi nodded at Guan Yunxiang and walked towards the crowd. C On the other side, Miss Guan was shocked by Baby Guans actions. What are you doing?
Aunt, Ive agreed to have a duel with Master Jia. Why are you so excited? However, Young Master Jia is not very good. He fell so easily. Baby Guan gloated. Ms. Guan looked furious and lowered her voice. Are you trying to ruin my ce? You have no manners at all. Is this how your parents raised you? Baby Guan smiled. Aunt, you have to ask my parents yourself. How did they teach me? Young Master Jia stood up and patted the dust off his body. He said with a fake smile, Miss Guan, youve indeed grown up with Young Master Guan. Youre really amazing. I really cantpare to you. I still have something to do. Excuse me. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Although the other party had lost face, he couldnt be calctive with Baby Guan. Who asked Baby Guan to have a powerful brother? He was a famous figure in both the underworld and the underworld. This was also because Baby Guan had been arrogant since she was young and didnt know the consequences of causing trouble. In a big family, this kind of troublemaking personality would naturally not be liked by the elders. However, Baby Guan did not want them to like her. It was enough for her parents and brothers to like her. Madam Guan was furious. Baby Guan, youre already so old. If you dont change your personality, dont even think about getting married in the future. Aunt, you really dont have to worry about this. You! You really dont know whats good for you. You said that youre a good girl from a noble family, but youre like a bandit. Your brother is a man, so its fine if hes a little rough. As a girl, youve caused trouble since you were young and brought shame to our Guan family! Baby Guan was used to hearing such words. She said sarcastically,Aunt, youre already married. You should take your husbands surname now. You really dont have to care so much about the Guan familys matters. Arent you tired? Mrs. Guan was furious. No wonder Lu Jingzhi doesnt like you. You dont even have the taste of a girl. Who would like a vulgar girl like you? Look at you now. Youve been broken off by someone else. Who in our family doesnt know about it? You still have the face to pretend that nothing happened! Miss Guans words made Baby Guans face sink. Back then, she had treated Lu Jingzhi as her fianc and had already been ridiculed by these elders. At that time, she had even vowed that she would definitely marry Lu Jingzhi and that Lu Jingzhi would be her future husband. But now, she had really pped herself in the face. Chapter 1047: Baby Guan Is My Fiancée (3) Chapter 1047: Baby Guan Is My Fiance (3) She really wanted to retort beautifully, but she didnt know what to say. She said that she was the one who broke off the engagement? Who would believe that she was so silly to like Lu Jingzhi back then? If she told others about it, they would think that she was lying because she wanted to save face. Seeing that Baby Guan was silent, Ms. Guan smiled. You have nothing to say? Do you also have times when you feel embarrassed? I think your parents are too embarrassed to face anyone because of you, so they went abroad to have some free time, right? Have you said enough?! Baby Guan said in a deep voice. At this moment, Baby Guans aunt walked over. Oh, why is the atmosphere so bad here? I heard what you said just now. Baby, dont me your aunt for being harsh. This is the principle. Girls should be more reserved. Men wont like being too proactive. At this time, Lu Jingzhi had already approached Baby Guan. When he heard the two middle-aged women talking to Baby Guan, his face darkened. He was about to approach when he noticed a cold glint in Baby Guans eyes. It looked a little unfamiliar to him, so he stopped and watched the battle with interest. Baby Guan smiled coldly. Although the other partys words were unpleasant, who asked her to be thick-skinned! She was experienced in dealing with these old things. The only experience she had was that she was uneducated. They had always thought that she was uneducated, so why would she be polite to them? Madam Guan smiled. Sister-inw, youre absolutely right. Baby looks like a vixen just like her mother. Men will definitely like her. If you want to me someone, me her for having such a bad temper. No man will want her. N?v(el)B\\jnn You cant say that about Baby. Shes not bad either, but you should know your ce. Although shes not bad, dont set your sights on her too high. Otherwise, Lu Jingzhi wouldnt have broken off the engagement. Baby Guans aunt, Ms. Li, said sarcastically.
Thats right. Its really embarrassing for such an embarrassing thing to happen in our family. If the engagement was broken off when we were young, a girl would never be able to hold her head up high. It would be very difficult for her to get married again. Exactly! Eldest Brother is really too much. Why would he arrange such a marriage for Baby? Back then, when he decided on it, there was no need to mention how happy he was. What kind of power is the Lu family? If they really got married, it would be a great joy. Who asked his daughter to be disappointing! Baby Guans eyes shed coldly. Youve said enough, havent you? I say, auntie and auntie, why do you like to gossip about other peoples affairs so much? If your daughter dumps you one day, you can save some face for yourself. Madam Guan was instantly unhappy. Sigh, you wretched girl, youre too heartless. You even cursed my cousin. Shes so good now! Thats good. Dont get dumped by anyone. Otherwise, her mother will p her face. Ms. Guan was so angry that she couldnt speak. This Baby Guan was sharp-tongued and never knew the rules! Mrs. Li smiled and looked at Baby Guan. Baby, does Lu Jingzhi not like a boorish type like you? Does he like girls from noble families? Your cousin might be very suitable for him. Anyway, we are engaged and we are all family. If you cant do it, he will definitely take a fancy to your cousin. Give me Lu Jingzhis contact information. Hearing this, Baby Guan wanted tough out loud. This person really had no limits. Chapter 1048: Baby Guan Is My Fiancée (4) Chapter 1048: Baby Guan Is My Fiance (4) When he heard this, Lu Jingzhi frowned slightly. When did he agree to cancel their marriage? Since when did he break off the engagement? When others questioned their rtionship, this woman actually tacitly agreed and did not refute at all! Lu Jingzhi was furious. This woman lived with him every day and even slept in his bed. How could she deny their rtionship? Most importantly, someone was trying to poach her fianc in front of her. He wanted to see if she would give him up to someone else! How could Baby Guan send Lu Jingzhi away? Even if it wasnt hers, her rtives could forget about getting it! Sheughed dryly. Auntie, youre joking, right? I remember that you told me that someone with Lu Jingzhis status is unreliable and that I would have to suffer if I married him. Now, you want to send my dear cousin to suffer? Youre so great! Without giving the other party a chance to speak, Baby Guan said coldly, I advise you to give up on this idea. Lu Jingzhi likes beautiful, sexy, and mature women. He thinks that Im too young, so why would he like a cousin who has just turned sixteen? Besides, I dont think my cousin is prettier or has a better figure than me. You! I think you dont want to introduce him to your cousin, right? If you marry into the Lu family with such a personality, you will indeed suffer. However, your cousin is gentle and virtuous. Marrying her is a blessing. She doesnt like you, but you dont even know how to keep it for your cousin. Youre too selfish! Baby Guan had long seen how perverted these aunts were. Just as she was about to say something, she felt a tall figure walk up to her. She turned her head and was stunned when she saw the other partys face.
Was she hallucinating? Lu Jingzhis originally gloomy expression eased a little when he saw Baby Guans shocked expression. He held Baby Guans hand and looked at the two noblewomen opposite him. If theres anything, you can tell me directly. Who are you? As soon as Mrs. Li asked, she noticed that he was holding Baby Guans hand. Her eyes widened in surprise. Baby Guan, when did you hook up with a wild man? Dont tell me its because of this wild man that your engagement was broken off? Baby Guan was still in a state of shock when she heard Mrs. Lis shout. She immediately came back to her senses and took the initiative to hold Lu Jingzhis arm. Yes, hes that wild man. Although she did not know why Lu Jingzhi would appear here, she had to make good use of him since he had taken the initiative toe to her. Please forgive her ignorant aunties and aunts. They had never seen Lu Jingzhi in person. Although they imed that the Lu Corporation was famous, they did not know anything about Lu Jingzhi in person. Lu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows. He thought that this woman would throw him away and cut ties with him. It seemed that she was very reasonable. Baby Guan, you really want to embarrass our family. You actually found such a pretty boy? Ms. Guan mocked. Puff!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Pretty boy? How could she tell that Lu Jingzhi was a gigolo? His skin wasnt fair. His honey-colored skin, coupled with his well-defined facial features, couldnt hide his masculine aura. However, Baby Guan knew that her aunt was just trying to belittle her preferences. She smiled happily and nodded, ignoring Lu Jingzhis ugly expression. Yes, I like this type. Auntie, didnt you want to marry your cousin to this gigolo just now? Chapter 1049: Baby Guan Is My Fiancée (5) Chapter 1049: Baby Guan Is My Fiance (5) Baby Guans words stunned Ms. Li. Why would I marry my daughter to a pretty boy Mrs. Li paused. Baby Guan, what do you mean? Lu Jingzhi lowered his gaze and looked at Baby Guan who was smiling happily and mischievously. She looked like a child who was happy to have taken advantage of him. Even though she would beat him up coldly, she was still a girl after all. If he really broke off the engagement, if he didnt show up today, she might have to suffer in front of her rtives. Although Guan Yunxiang said that she could handle it, he didnt want to see her deal with such a thing. Lu Jingzhi nodded at the two women in front of him and introduced himself, Hello, I am Lu Jingzhi, my babys fianc. You, youWhat did you say? The two women did not seem to hear Lu Jingzhi clearly. Baby Guan is my fiance, Lu Jingzhi repeated. She was just joking. You are Lu Jingzhi? Madam Guan was shocked. How is that possible? Didnt the Lu family break off the engagement? Break off the engagement? Lu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows. Did the baby tell you or did you just guess? It seems that I havent visited you all this time, causing you to misunderstand. This time, Im here to pick her up in Hong Kong.
Baby Guan was stunned when she heard Lu Jingzhis words. Bring her back? She didnt think she had such a great reputation. Moreover, their marriage had indeed been canceled. In order to cooperate with her, he had put on a serious act. However, that was not important at the moment. What was important was that her aunts expression was extremely ugly. After all, she was a sly old fox. Madam Guan quicklyughed and looked at Baby Guan reproachfully. Aiya, baby, how can you joke about this with your family? Young Master Lu treats you so well, and you even said that he doesnt treat you well just now. I thought your engagement was really broken off! Baby Guan didnt give him any face and said, Aunt, you think he doesnt treat me well, right? Actually, you cant wait for my engagement to be broken off, right? Madam Guan was at a loss for words after hearing Baby Guans words. This wretched girl had actually hooked up with this tall, rich, and handsome man. Lu Jingzhis part-time job was even more handsome than she had imagined. Not only was he handsome, but he was also rich and powerful. What kind of luck did Baby Guan have?! Lu Jingzhi smiled faintly. Indeed, I havent treated my baby well enough. I will continue to perform well. As for breaking off the engagement, even if its my babys family, I wont allow any rumors to spread. As an elder, please cooperate. Madam Guanughed dryly. Young Master Lu is right. Its all a misunderstanding! Baby Guan was a little puzzled by the change in Madam Guans attitude. Her aunt had always been arrogant, so why was she so friendly to Lu Jingzhi?n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Then, her aunt took a step forward and pulled her aside. She said in a low voice,Baby, I treat you well usually. Do me a favor. Your unclespany is bidding for the Lu Corporations project. Tell him about it. Baby Guan suddenly understood and grinned. Aunt, I cant help you with this, and I dont want to! Its not worth it to affect my rtionship with him because of your family. Ms. Guan was so angry that her face turned ashen. At this moment, Madam Li said to Lu Jingzhi, Young Master Lu, Baby Guan has a cousin whos especially beautiful and gentle. If theres a chance, let Baby introduce you to her. Baby Guan raised her eyebrows. This aunt was brazenly poaching him! Baby Guan looked at Lu Jingzhi and wanted to see his reaction. [Todays update] Chapter 1050: Baby Guan Is My Fiancée (6) Chapter 1050: Baby Guan Is My Fiance (6) Lu Jingzhi looked at Baby Guan and smiled. Im sorry, but I dont think its necessary to get to know anyone of the opposite sex except my fiance. Besides, Im not interested in young children. As he spoke, Lu Jingzhi walked towards Baby Guan and held her hand. Just as they were about to leave, Mrs. Li said, Young Master Lu, Ive already said that you dont like young people. But shes still young. Then, you guys Lu Jingzhi stopped in his tracks and looked down at Baby Guan. He raised his eyebrows and said, Indeed, Baby is still young, so I will wait until she grows up and matures before marrying her. This sentence stunned Baby Guan. Such sweet words were not true at all when they came out of Lu Jingzhis mouth. She raised her head to look at him. His tone was so serious. If it wasnt for the hint of a yful smile in his eyes, she would have taken it seriously. Baby Guan rolled her eyes at Lu Jingzhi with a disgusted expression. Lu Jingzhi frowned. What was this womans attitude? Lu Jingzhi held Baby Guans hand as they entered the elevator. Before the elevator doors closed, he turned around and pressed her against the elevator wall. Feeling her resistance, he lifted her chin and reminded her, Those two people are probably still looking at us. If you want to tell them that our rtionship is not good, then struggle hard. Baby Guan red at him. You dont have to be a busybody. Theyll know the truth sooner orter. Im going to lose face anyway!
Lu Jingzhis eyes darkened. Baby Guan, we havent seen each other for half a month. I came to look for you, and this is your attitude? Baby Guan was stunned. Why are you looking for me? Of course Im here to bring you back! After Lu Jingzhi finished speaking, he saw Baby Guans puzzled expression and added unhappily, My parents asked me toe over! Baby Guan snorted. She hated herself for having such a tiny bit of expectation. She said sarcastically,When did Young Master Lu be so obedient to his parents? Its really rare. However, I can go back by myself. I wont trouble you Oh Halfway through her sentence, Lu Jingzhi could not take it anymore and covered her lips. This woman really needed to be taught a lesson. After being separated for half a month, she was not happy at all when they met again. Instead, she deserved to be beaten up even more!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Baby Guan started to punch and kick him, but Lu Jingzhi was not the weak Young Master Jia from before. No matter how much she resisted, she could not resist him! She wanted to curse, but the moment she opened her mouth, it gave him the chance to invade her. His kisses covered the sky and swallowed her. Baby Guan was dizzy from the kiss. Just as she was a little out of breath, he finally let go of her and carried her limp body out of the elevator. She looked up and saw that the elevator was not the hotels exit, but the room upstairs. She looked at him and asked, Where are you taking me? Get a room! Baby Guan opened her mouth to grab the back of his hand and ran away. Pervert! Lu Jingzhi pulled her back and turned around to enter a guest room. He closed the door and pressed her against the door. Baby Guan, its not like we havent slept in the same bed before. Why are you being so reserved? You As soon as Guan Baobei opened her mouth, Lu Jingzhi kissed her lightly. He then looked at her with a smile. What if I havent kissed enough? You bastard! Baby Guans face was red. Why was she being so ambiguous with him? Chapter 1051: Actually, I Miss You a Little (1) Chapter 1051: Actually, I Miss You a Little (1) Lu Jingzhi smiled and looked at her blushing face. He had long known that this woman might look carefree on the surface, but sometimes she would be arrogant and aloof. In fact, she was very innocent deep down. Just a kiss from her could make his face blush and his heart beat faster. Baby Guan ced her hands on his chest and was about to push him away when he grabbed her. Then, he leaned over and looked straight at her. Baby Guan, did you miss me? Haha, are you joking? Of course not The next second, Lu Jingzhi kissed her on the lips again and pressed his face against her neck. His deep voice rang in her ear, But I miss you a little. N?v(el)B\\jnn This woman was neither gentle nor considerate. She would even get physical from time to time. He did not know what attracted him to her. However, during this period of separation, he felt that his life, which had always been like a fish in water, had be tasteless. It was as if something was missing. Yet, she was so insensible. He was so good to her, so why was she so heartless?! Baby Guan waspletely stunned. The blush on her face had not faded because of the kiss just now. She asked with uncertainty,What did you say? Say it again? Lu Jingzhis eyes twitched. What was her reaction? His expression became yful. I realized that Im quite lonely when youre not by my side to cause trouble for me. Baby Guan scoffed. Go find another woman when youre lonely. Why are you looking for me? Lu Jingzhi frowned. Baby Guan, you are my fiance! Not anymore! Did I agree to your one-sided annulment? I never admitted that our marriage was canceled! You As soon as Baby Guan turned on the phone, she was scooped up by Lu Jingzhi. The next second, both of them fell onto the bed. What are you doing? Baby Guan, youre my fiance. I can do whatever I want! Lu Jingzhi kissed Baby Guans lips. He was addicted to kissing her and could not help but let go after a single touch. He had not kissed her enough! Baby Guans mind went nk. She felt her whole body burning. Their bodies were pressed together, making her feel unspeakably ufortable. The kiss continued. She clearly wanted to reject him, but she was a little intoxicated. After a while, she felt a heat in her abdomen and her eyes widened. The mans hands were moving around! She twisted her body and struggled in embarrassment. This action interrupted Lu Jingzhis thoughts and he realized that he had lost control. However, this woman was twisting her body so hard under him. Was she really trying to resist, or was she picking on him? He took a deep breath and suppressed the fire in his heart. He turned over andy down beside her, pressing her into his arms to stop her from moving. Behave yourself and sleep with me for a while. If she moved again, he really couldnt guarantee that he would do something. Why are you sleeping in broad daylight? Baby Guan asked sarcastically. Could it be that you yed all night to relieve your lonelinessst night? Baby Guan, why are you so frivolous at such a young age? Youre the one whos not serious! Lu Jingzhi tightened his grip around her waist. Hurry up and sleep. I havent had a good rest during the recent Chinese New Year. Lu Jingzhi really did not sleep well. He had a rare bout of insomniast night because he was going to look for her today. He did not sleep well the entire night. Now that he was hugging her, the only thing he wanted to do was to catch up on his sleep. Baby Guan wanted to say that he hadnt rested well, so why did he drag her to sleep with him? He was even hugging her so close, deliberately taking advantage of her! However, when she saw how sleepy he looked with his eyes closed, she stopped struggling. Chapter 1052: Actually, I Miss You A Little (2) Chapter 1052: Actually, I Miss You A Little (2) Baby Guan leaned into Lu Jingzhis arms and felt her face burning. At this moment, Baby Guan realized that she was really useless. She was obviously very powerful, but in front of Lu Jingzhi, how could she be a pushover? Baby Guan fell asleep in Lu Jingzhis arms. Lu Jingzhi was woken up by the woman in his arms. Her legs were on his body and her arms were around his waist. Her sleeping posture was extremely indecent. She was originally wearing a knee-length dress today, but the hem of her dress was piled up at her waist because of her actions. Her slender and fair legs were exposed in front of him. It would be abnormal for him not to be moved by such a sexy long leg, and it was the woman he liked. Baby Guan was sleeping soundly. She snorted, tilted her head to the other side, and continued sleeping. Perhaps it was because she was thirsty, but she licked her lips. This action made Lu Jingzhis body suddenly tense up. He lifted his head and kissed her lips. Baby Guan seemed to feel an itch on her lips and stuck out her tongue to lick it. This action carried the meaning of picking beans, and Lu Jingzhi instantly felt like he was about to explode. He suddenly realized why his actions were so wretched when he was so restless in front of a sleeping woman. He took a deep breath and lowered her skirt to cover her thighs. Baby Guan woke up in a daze and met a pair of deep ck eyes. The man in front of her was leaning sideways, looking at her with one hand on his head and the other on her waist. She suddenly woke up and was about to say something when she realized that she was hugging him even more intimately, like an octopus. Lu Jingzhi raised his hand naturally and tucked her hair behind her ear. He asked softly, Youre awake? What do you want to eat? Baby Guan pointed at him. Lu Jingzhi, youre taking advantage of me! Look at your posture. Whos taking advantage of whom? Im your fianc. I dont mind if you take advantage of me. Lu Jingzhis tone was very generous. As he spoke, he put down the switch and got out of bed. Baby Guans face was red, and she used her aura to hide her guilt.You must have let me hug you while I was asleep! Mother? Try saying that again. Lu Jingzhi turned around, as if he was going to seal her mouth with his actions. Baby Guan jumped up from the bed and prepared to attack. She red at Lu Jingzhi and said, Whos afraid of who? Come on! Lu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows. Are you asking me to go to bed and exercise with you? Baby Guan was speechless. Lu Jingzhi felt that this woman was stupid. He stepped forward and carried Baby Guan off the bed. As Baby Guan screamed, he carried her to the bathroom door. Tidying up your clothes and hair. Well go out for dinnerter. Baby Guan snorted coldly. I know you must be afraid of me. Ive learned new moves from my brother recently. You cant beat me at all. Yes, Im scared. Lu Jingzhi smiled faintly. Just as Baby Guan was surprised by how much he respected her, he continued, Im afraid that I might identally eat you. N?v(el)B\\jnn .. Eat your sister! Why is he so despicable! C When they arrived at the hotel restaurant, Baby Guan did not say a word. Her face was slightly red and her expression was very unnatural. Lu Jingzhi could not help butugh. This woman was so innocent. How could he make her so embarrassed with just one sentence? Ive already told your brother that Ill bring you back tomorrow, Lu Jingzhi said during dinner. Chapter 1053: 1055-Enemies in the Orphanage Chapter 1053: Chapter 1055-Enemies in the Orphanage On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Mu went to the orphanage together. When she was busy before the new year, she did not have time to go over. She made childrens clothes of various size and asked Li Yan to send them over. She also sent some fruits and candy. Qiao Mu wanted to go over to take a look since she had nothing to do after the new year. Li Yan was worried that she would be upset, so he went with her. In fact, Qiao Mu had really let go of it. She missed the orphanage only because it had taken her in. Although it had only been a few days, she should be grateful since she knew about what happened back then. When they arrived outside the orphanage, Qiao Mu was about to alight when she said to Li Yan, Uncle, wait for me here. Ill go in myself. Do you think Im your chauffeur? How dare you leave your husband by the roadside! Li Yan said as he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. Qiao Muughed. If others think that you adopted me, how embarrassing would that be for you! Li Yan narrowed his eyes. Do you want to be taught a lesson? Do you think your husband is old and embarrassing you? Im innocent!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om As the two of them chatted andughed, a car stopped behind them. Qiao Mu subconsciously looked over and saw the person inside the car through the ss in front of the car.
As expected, enemies meet on a narrow road. He could even meet this mother and daughter at the orphanage! Li Yans gaze turned colder. Qiao Mu met his gaze and shook her head with a smile. Its alright, Uncle. Lets go in. Li Yan took out the gift he had prepared for the child from the trunk and held Qiao Mus hand as they entered the orphanage. Behind them, Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong got out of the car. Shu Xinyu frowned. Why did Qiao Mue to the orphanage again and again? What was the rtionship between Qiao Mu and this orphanage? Even if she pretended to be charitable, she didnt have toe all the way to such a remote orphanage, right? Ning Tongtong was waiting for Qiao Mus figure. When Qiao Mu retracted her gaze, she saw Shu Xinyus thoughtful expression and secretly cried out, Mom, Qiao Mu actually came to the orphanage with Li Yan. Im guessing that she must be using this kind of charity to win Li Yans favor. Shes using this as an excuse to ask Li Yan toe with her during the new year. When Shu Xinyu heard Ning Tongtongs words, her expression turned colder. I knew this Qiao Mu wouldnt be so kind as to do good deeds. It looks like shes using Li Yans money to be a good person. Thats right, this Qiao Mu is really too disgusting! Ning Tongtong saw that Shu Xinyu seemed to have been convinced and was relieved. She did not expect to bump into Qiao Mu at the orphanage. It was as if Qiao Mu had known that she and her mother wereing and had deliberately coincidentally bumped into Qiao Mu in order to remind Shu Xinyu. There was no way! Qiao Mu and Li Yan entered the orphanage, and the nurse took the gifts from Li Yan. The principal came up to them and said, Miss Qiao, youve already sent a lot of gifts before the new year, and now youve brought gifts for the child. Im really grateful to you. Qiao Mu smiled. Director, the children need to be reced during the new year. Theyll need all these things. Is this Miss Qiaos? The dean looked at Li Yan and smiled. Hes my fianc. He sponsored the construction of the dormitory in my name. The director smiled happily. Miss Qiao is really blessed to have a fianc who loves you so much. Our orphanage has really done a good job. We have always received feedback from the orphans we took in. Im really happy for you guys to be living so well after leaving the orphanage. Chapter 1054: Qiao Mu Was Abandoned by Her Parents? Chapter 1054: Qiao Mu Was Abandoned by Her Parents? At this moment, Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong walked in. When the hospital director saw Shu Xinyu, he apologized to Qiao Mu and Li Yan and went over to wee her. Madam Shu, youre here. Shu Xinyu smiled faintly and swept her gaze across Qiao Mu before looking at Li Yan. CEO Li, I thought I saw wrongly when I saw you in the car just now. Li Yan looked at Shu Xinyu coldly and did not reply. Shu Xinyu felt awkward. She had to admit that she wanted to get close to Li Yan, but he ignored her. Herpany was about to copse because of Li Yan, and it was because of Qiao Mu that Li Yan would deal with her like this! The Ning Corporation was huge. He couldnt do it for a moment, so he decided to do it in her smallpany. This man was really ruthless! The director did not notice the tense atmosphere and asked with a smile,I didnt expect you to know each other. Youre all the benefactors of our orphanage. Shu Xinyu said, Director, you must be joking. I only contributed a little bit. Im sure I didnt contribute as much as President Li. As long as its love, it doesnt matter how heavy it is. Ms. Shu doesnt have any past friendship with our orphanage, but she sponsors us all year round. This kindness is very rare. The dean smiled.
He had no past rtionship with the orphanage? Qiao Mu curled her lips coldly. How could a selfish person like Shu Xinyu do good deeds without friendship? Previously, when she saw Shu Xinyu at the orphanage, she didnt understand what kind of mentality Shu Xinyu had. But now, she understood. It was probably because she felt guilty about what she had done back then, right? Didnt she say that a mother was not wrong to abandon her child? What was she feeling guilty about now? Just as Qiao Mu was thinking about this, she felt her hand tighten. She turned to look at Li Yan and shook her head with a smile, reassuring him. Ning Tongtong watched as Li Yan looked at Qiao Mu with a gentle gaze, and she felt a wave of jealousy in her heart. This was the first time she had seen that man look at someone so gently, and the other party had to be Qiao Mu! Ning Tongtong smiled and said to the director, Director, my mother has always been very kind. She especially likes children. She does these things from the bottom of her heart. Yes, Ms. Shu, youre so lucky to have a daughter like you. Youre such a kind family. God will definitely reward good people. the dean said. Shu Xinyu smiled and said, Thank you, Director. Well take your blessings and wont stay here any longer. Were quite busy during the New Year, so were here to give you some gifts. Okay, okay. Take care, Ms. Shu.N?v(el)B\\jnn After Shu Xinyu and Ning Tongtong turned around, the hospital director looked at Qiao Mu. Miss Qiao, both you and Madam Shu are good people. Thats why the heavens allowed you to develop so well. Its their loss that your parents abandoned you. Theyll suffer retribution. The hospital directors words made Shu Xinyu, who had just walked a short distance away, stop in her tracks. Qiao Mu was abandoned by her parents? Wasnt she the illegitimate daughter of the Qiao family? Qiao Mus expression stiffened when she heard the dean suddenly mention this matter. She subconsciously looked in the direction Shu Xinyu had left. Although she knew Shu Xinyu wouldnt think too much about it, she still didnt want this matter to be exposed. However, she felt a sense of danger in her heart. She really wanted to know what Shu Xinyu would do if she found out that she was an abandoned orphan. The hospital director felt that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized.Im sorry, Miss Qiao. I shouldnt have mentioned this on such a happy day. Li Yan furrowed his brows and looked at Qiao Mu before saying softly, Dont you want to see the child? Lets go in. Qiao Mu nodded, and then she heard Shu Xinyus voice behind her. Wait a minute! [Todays update]
Chapter 1055: Ms. Shu, Dont You Think Youre Hypocritical? Chapter 1055: Ms. Shu, Dont You Think Youre Hypocritical? Qiao Mus body stiffened. She turned around and saw Shu Xinyu return. At this moment, Ning Tongtong was also panicking. Shu Xinyu walked over. The dean smiled and asked, Ms. Shu, is there anything else? Director, I heard what you said just now. Are you mistaken? Miss Qiao is not an orphan abandoned by her parents. She has parents. Shu Xinyu nced at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu looked coldly at Shu Xinyu. What was she trying to prove? The director looked at Qiao Mu with a troubled expression. The orphanage was not allowed to disclose the situation of the orphans to the public. Furthermore, she was also present, so it was even more difficult for her to say anything. Madam Shu, what does it have to do with you whether Im an orphan or not? Qiao Mu asked coldly. It doesnt matter. Its just that Im not used to seeing people. Even orphans want to pretend. This is unfair to those children who have been abandoned by their parents. I really dont understand what young people are thinking these days. Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mu mockingly. Qiao Mus grip on Li Yans hand tightened. She sneered. Unfair? Do you know how those abandoned children feel? You can understand? A person who believes that the mother is not at fault for abandoning her child is here toin for the orphans and do good deeds. Madam Shu, dont you think its hypocritical? You! Shu Xinyu red at Qiao Mu angrily. Realizing that she had lost herposure, she took a deep breath and looked at Li Yan. CEO Li, the person she brought here is so rude. Arent you going to discipline her? Bringing such an insensible person around will embarrass you.
The topic turned to Li Yan. Li Yan raised his eyebrows and said coldly, Madam Shu, although you are an elder, you are not qualified to educate me on behalf of my parents. My woman, every word she says represents me. I dont think she said anything wrong. If you dont have a guilty conscience, why are you so agitated? Shu Xinyus face turned green and white. When she was working with Li Yan in the past, although Li Yan was also high and mighty, he was still very respectful and polite to her on ount of her age. But now, because of a woman, he could not differentiate right from wrong! Shu Xinyu stared at Qiao Mus face for a while before shifting her gaze away. It was just a coincidence. She had investigated Qiao Mus identity. She was the illegitimate daughter of the Qiao family. Her mother had sold her to her father, which was no different from being abandoned. This was probably what the dean meant! Ning Tongtong was worried that the matter would be exposed if this continued. She hurriedly said,Mom, her matter has nothing to do with me. Lets go. Shu Xinyu nodded and turned to leave.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Qiao Mus heart turned cold as she looked at that figures back. She felt that she was veryughable. Even though she had told herself countless times that she had already let go, there was still an impulse in her heart. She wanted to know what kind of reaction Shu Xinyu would have after she found out about her identity. Would she repent for her actions, or would she still insist that she was not in the wrong? Qiao Mu clenched her teeth tightly. Why was there a need for this? Why did she have to harbor hope?! Li Yan raised his hand and rubbed Qiao Mus head. When Qiao Mu met his gaze, all unhappiness was cast aside. Fortunately, he was by her side. The hospital director didnt know what was going on. Miss Qiao, he said, I dont know what kind of grudge you have with Madam Shu, but Shu Xinyu is really a good person. A good person? A trace of coldness shed across Qiao Mus eyes. The hospital director did not know that people who donated to charity were not necessarily good people! Qiao Mu nodded at the dean, who smiled and said, The child is inside. You two can go in. Chapter 1056: Shu Xinyu Was Suspicious! Chapter 1056: Shu Xinyu Was Suspicious! Outside the orphanage, Ning Tongtong looked at Shu Xinyu with a dark expression and said nothing. She probed,Mom, why do you care if Qiao Mu is an orphan? Didnt you tell me not to provoke her? Li Yan was here too, so offending him wont do us any good. Shu Xinyus lips twitched. I was too impulsive. I just cant stand people who lie. She has parents, but she said that she was abandoned by them. I wanted to expose her lies. Cant stand people who lie? Ning Tongtong sneered in her heart. She was probably shocked by this fact, right? Although others could not tell that Qiao Mu and Shu Xinyu looked alike, those who had seen Shu Xinyus photos when she was young would realize that Qiao Mus eyes and brows were very simr to Shu Xinyus. Although it was not very obvious, as long as one paid attention, they would be able to notice it. Shu Xinyu must have noticed it as well, but she did not think too much about it because Qiao Mu was not an orphan, right? Ning Tongtong snorted coldly. She would never let Qiao Mu have her way. No one could take her mother away from her! She had already lost too much. She had lost too much, and it was all because of Qiao Mu. She couldnt afford to make any more mistakes. She had to get what she wanted! Ning Tongtong said provocatively, Mom, we all know what kind of person Qiao Mu is. Her mother sold her to her father, so she bore grudges and told everyone that she was abandoned by her mother and that she was an orphan. Such a person is really heartless. After all, she was her mother who gave her life. Even if her mother didnt want her, it must be her own problem. Now that she likes to scheme and act so much, Im afraid that her mother has long seen through her true nature and abandoned her to her father. Thats why I say that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person!
Hearing Ning Tongtongs words, Shu Xinyus furrowed brows slowly rxed. Thats right, which mother in this world doesnt want her own child? The reason why she doesnt want it is because that child shouldnt exist! However, Shu Xinyu still felt uneasy about Qiao Mus identity. After returning to the Ning residence, Shu Xinyu entered her room and dialed her assistants number. Investigate something for me. Find out Qiao Mus identity and start with the orphanage. I want to know what rtionship she has with the orphanage. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Outside the door, Ning Tongtong secretly overheard the voices inside, and her expression turned ugly. Shu Xinyu actually investigated Qiao Mu in private. As expected, she was still suspicious! C Inside the orphanage, Qiao Mu was ying with the children, and her mood was very good after being infected by the childrens innocentughter. Apanying the child to y games and y with toys was an indescribable feeling in her heart. All of these children were healthy, adorable, and innocent, yet their parents did not want them. Li Yan, who was sitting on a chair, looked at Qiao Mu, who was smiling happily. She was surrounded by children, assembling toys with them, and controlling a model airne with a remote control. He liked Qiao Mu like this. She was innocent and pure. She wouldugh happily when the ne model was lifted off the ground by her control, and frown with regret when the ne identallynded. In his opinion, this was how she should be. She couldugh whenever she wanted, and she could make a scene whenever she wanted, without any burden to hide. Seeing this scene, Li Yans lips curled up unconsciously. At this moment, Qiao Mu was skillfully controlling the airne model to fly around in the air amidst the childrens jubnt shouts. Suddenly, she made a mistake and the airnended on the ground. The children were disappointed, making Qiao Mu feel that she was very stupid. Chapter 1057: Uncle Is Old Chapter 1057: Uncle Is Old Suddenly, a child walked over and tugged at the corner of Qiao Mus clothes. Sister, the hospital directors granny said that the IQ of every age group is set. Even if you try many times, your IQ is the same as ours and you wont know how to y. Ask the uncle over there toe over and y. Hes old, so his IQ must be enough! Qiao Mu was speechless. She was actually despised by a five-year-old child! However, was it really appropriate to say that about Li Yan? Qiao Mu subconsciously looked at Li Yan. He pursed his lips, and his expression did not look too good. Clearly, he had heard the childs words. The way she addressed him as uncle and the words older made the corners of Li Yans mouth curl up instantly. However, Qiao Mu was still gloating, wanting tough, but she held back herughter. He red at her coldly, and Qiao Mu couldnt help butugh out loud. The children wanted nothing more than to y with the ne, so they tugged at Qiao Mu. Sister, let Unclee over to y. Then go and call him yourself, Qiao Mu said with a smile. The childs face scrunched up. But Uncles expression is so fierce. Its so scary.
Puff! Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. He was indeed very frightening. Qiao Mu bent over and whispered to the child, Go over and call him brother. He wont be fierce anymore. Of course, she knew what this man was angry about. It was just a form of address. Children didnt mean it. However, Qiao Mu underestimated the childs intelligence. After hearing her words, the child pouted and said loudly, But the teacher said that children should be honest. Hes clearly an uncle, so why should he call him brother? Thats not right! ..Qiao Mu resisted the urge to burst outughing and patiently educated him. Its brother. Its wrong for you to call me uncle. Thats right. An uncle is an uncle. Hes not a brother. Isnt an uncle sisters uncle? Its right for us to call him uncle. .. Alright then. Actually, it was not wrong for the child to call him uncle based on his age. Qiao Mu thought about it and patiently said, Actually, his name is Uncle. Hes not my uncle, but my lover. If you call him Uncle, you have to call me Love. If you want to call me Sister, you have to call her Brother, understand? I see! The child nodded. Qiao Mu smiled. Truly smart. Then, one of the children ran in front of Li Yan. Uncle, Brother, do you want to y with us? Uncle and brother? Qiao Mus lips twitched. This form of address was really Li Yan nced at the little woman and ignored herical address. He stood up expressionlessly and walked over to take the remote control from her hand. Then, Qiao Mu and a group of children surrounded Li Yan and watched him operate the ne. Li Yans IQ was obviously not on the same level as Qiao Mus. He had mastered all the techniques in less than a minute. In a short while, the ne was flying around in the air under Li Yans control.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The children were extremely excited. One moment, they wanted the ne to fly to the left, and the next moment, they wanted the ne to fly to the right. Li Yan skillfully controlled the ne, and Qiao Mu also became happy as she watched. There was really nothing that this man could not do. He was just ying with a toy. His serious look was simply mesmerizing.
At this moment, a girl around six or seven years old tugged at Qiao Mus sleeve. Sister, are you really lovers? Yes, I am. Qiao Mu looked at the little girl, only to see that her face was slightly red. She said with slight disappointment, What a pity. Uncle is really too handsome, but since he already has you, I wont be a third party.
Chapter 1058: I Want to Become Someone Like You When I Grow Up Chapter 1058: I Want to Be Someone Like You When I Grow Up The corners of Qiao Mus lips twitched fiercely. She chuckled and corrected him in passing.Its big brother. Alright, big brother, but isnt the age difference between the two of you very big? Brother looks very rich. Could it be that Sister is with him because of this? When a girl grows up, she must marry a husband she likes. Although money is important, feelings are more important! Qiao Mu was speechless. Was this really something a six or seven-year-old child would say? Qiao Mu realized that the children in the orphanage were much more sensible than those who were pampered at home. Perhaps they had no one to rely on since they were young and had developed such a personality. Qiao Mu squatted down and smiled at the little girl. Youre right. Elder Sister is with Elder Brother because Elder Sister loves him. Feelings cant be measured with money. Money can be earned by oneself. The little girl smiled and nodded. Then, she asked in confusion,Then how can I make money? I also want to earn money. Qiao Mu consoled him in a low voice, Your main focus now is to study. When youre sessful in your studies, youll naturally earn a lot of money. If you think about earning money when you should be studying, youll only fail at both of these things. The little girl seemed to understand. I want to go to university too, but without money, I cant go to university. Qiao Mu felt her nose turn sour. She rubbed her head and said, Dont worry, there are many kind people in this world who will sponsor you. Sister will definitely let you go to university.
Li Yan looked at the little woman beside him. His heart softened when he heard her words. Qiao Mus eyes met his, and the two of them looked at each other. Just as Li Yan was focusing all his attention on Qiao Mu, the ne crashed into the wall. Theres an ident! the children shouted. Brother is not professional. Brother is so stupid. He drove the ne into the wall. .. Qiao Mu smiled and said to the children, Dontugh at me. I make mistakes too. Then, Li Yan assembled trucks and cars for the children. The children were very happy and yed with their own toys. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. I didnt expect you to know how to coax children. Youre quite patient! Li Yan smiled. Whats so difficult about that? Coaxing you is no different from coaxing them. When you were young, you were much harder to coax than them. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om I was very obedient when I was young, okay? Qiao Mu pouted, but she smiled very happily. In the evening, the sky had already darkened. Qiao Mu and Li Yan got up and prepared to leave. Just as she reached the door, someone called Qiao Mu from behind. Qiao Mu turned around and saw the little girl she was chatting with earlier. The little girl walked up to Qiao Mu and stared at her with her big eyes. Sister, I want to be someone like you when I grow up. Qiao Mu was puzzled. Bing someone like her? At this moment, Qiao Mu was a little narrow-minded. Did this little girl want to be like her and find a boyfriend like Li Yan? Then, the little girl squinted and smiled.I want to earn a lot of money like my sister and help my brothers and sisters in the orphanage. In an instant, Qiao Mus eyes welled up with tears. Such a kind and cute child had been abandoned by her parents. She pinched the little girls face, her voice choked with sobs. Youll definitely be better than me!
The little girl was overjoyed when she heard Qiao Mus words. She waved at Qiao Mu before turning around and running back in embarrassment. Chapter 1059: When Are We Going to Have a Child? Chapter 1059: When Are We Going to Have a Child?n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Qiao Mu got into the car, feeling rather down. Her heart ached for those children. At least she had the Qiao family to rely on when she was young, and she could go to university safely. However, the future of these children in the orphanage was not guaranteed at all. Suddenly, the hand on her leg was grabbed, and the man beside her said in a low voice,What are you thinking about? She looked at Li Yan. Uncle, can we help these children and provide some assurance for their future studies? I know that we cant help all the orphans, but I want to help as many children as possible. I want to change their fates with our help. Thats not a problem. Arent we doing that right now? Qiao Mu smiled and nodded. Uncle, youre the best. You just realized how good I am? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. Thinking about how she had fun ying with the child just now, he patted her head. Do you like children very much? Yeah, theyre so cute. Qiao Mu responded. Li Yans lips curled up slightly. Since you like children so much, when are we going to have a child? Qiao Mu blushed and red at him.
Do I look like a hooligan to you? .. So, he was serious? It was fine if Ms. Yu always joked like this, but he also joked! After some thought, she said, Uncle, we need to have a legal marriage certificate before we can have a child. So, we cant consider this matter for the time being. Dont you know the principle of getting pregnant before getting married? Qiao Mu was speechless. In order to dispel Li Yans thoughts, Qiao Mu made her stance clear. Uncle, my studies will be especially intense in the next two years. I want to focus on my studies and career. Youll definitely support me, right? So, if you want a child, then treat me like one. This little thing! Li Yan smiled helplessly. She was really sharp-tongued. However, he was not in a hurry. After all, she was indeed like a big child. However, she was joking with him. What if I identally win the bid? How can that be? Arent we About that! Qiao Mu was a little embarrassed at the mention of this matter. Which one? Its a measure! What if the measures fail? I still think its better not to take any precautions. Qiao Mu was speechless. She did not want to continue chatting with such an indecent Li Yan. C Early in the morning on the sixth day of the new year, Qiao Mu was extremely busy.
She prepared all kinds of New Years candy and nuts and filled the coffee table. The kitchen started to prepare the lunch banquet early in the morning, and Qiao Mu gave various instructions upstairs and downstairs. Compared to Qiao Mus busyness, Li Yan was leisurely sitting on the sofa and reading a business magazine. From time to time, he would look up at the woman who was running down the stairs and remind her to be careful. However, a certain woman ignored him and rolled her eyes at him, using him of being like a boss and not doing anything. But what was he going to do? It wasnt like there was going to be a VIP at home, so she really didnt know what to do. After Qiao Mu was done with the arrangements, she urged Li Yan to call and ask when they woulde. Li Yan immediately pulled her to his side and hugged her. Who cares about them? Its only nine oclock now. Why did you ask them toe so early? They are tactful and dont want to disturb our private time.
Qiao Mu could only call Baby Guan herself. Her phone was switched off, so she should be on the ne. Then, she called Ye Nuan and Ling Xi picked up. Chapter 1060: Bringing Family Members to the Party Chapter 1060: Bringing Family Members to the Party Sister-inw, why are you looking for Ye Nuan? asked Ling Xi. You guys are together so early? Qiao Mu was astonished. Ye Nuan spent the night at my housest night. Big Brother treated her to a meal, but didnt he say that he would bring his family along? Im going to bring her along. Ling Xi said casually. Overnight? Qiao Mu was stunned. You guys are developing quite quickly! Ling Xis tone was arrogant. Of course! As Ling Xi spoke, she saw Ye Nuane out of her room and speak into the phone, Sister-inw, well leave in a while. Ill hang up first. Ye Nuan saw Ling Xi holding her phone and heard how he addressed her. She asked, Its Qiao Mu? Ling Xi nodded. Hes asking when were going over. Young Master Ling, can I not go with you? Ye Nuan thought for a while and said softly. I didnt go homest night. There are guests at home today. Ling Xis expression darkened. What do you think? Ye Nuan, you always find excuses when I need you. Are you trying to piss me off?
I didnt reject you when you brought me home to deal with your parentsst night! She even dirtied her clothes and can only spend the night at your house Didnt Ipensate you with a set of clothes this morning? What else are you dissatisfied with? If you say any more nonsense, Ill shut your mouth! Ling Xi stepped forward and held Ye Nuans hand as they walked out. He snapped, Lets go! Ye Nuan was speechless. C On the other hand, Qiao Mu was still surprised that Ye Nuan had spent the night at Ling Xis house. She didnt expect the two of them to develop so quickly without her knowledge. Li Yan overheard Qiao Mus conversation and saw her excitement. He said helplessly, They spent the night together. What are you so excited about? Its very strange for an adult man and woman to have such a thing happen. Why dont you think about it? We slept together the first time we met on the cruise ship? Qiao Mu was speechless. Was he deliberately looking for trouble? Qiao Mu called Chi Xia again. When she picked up the call, Chi Xia was making a ruckus. Where are you, Xiaxia? Qiao Mu asked. Im at home. Where else could I be? Chi Xia said.N?v(el)B\\jnn Qiao Mu was stunned. Youre not with Su Chen? Why should I be with him? Qiao Mu frowned at Chi Xias words. They had agreed to bring their family members, so why didnt Su Chen contact Chi Xia? Qiao Mu was about to say something when she heard the childs voice on the other end of the phone. Chi Xia hurriedly said, My nephew is crying. Ill call you backter. With that, he hung up. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. Uncle, Su Chen isnting over? Whats wrong? Why didnt Xiaxia know about todays gathering? Li Yan hugged her. Youre so worried. Let them bring their family members. Its their own business whether they bring their family members or not.
Qiao Mu pouted and took Li Yans phone. She opened WeChat and sent a group message. Young Master Su, are you bringing your family? At this moment, Su Chen was driving. When he saw the content of Li Yans message, he knew that the person who sent the message was Qiao Mu. He replied with a short word,Yes. Seeing Su Chens reply, Qiao Mu didnt ask any further. Since Su Chen said he would bring her along, he would definitely bring her along. It must be because Xiaxia didnt know about it yet.
Su Chen dialed Chi Xias number after replying to the message. Chi Xia looked at the caller ID and felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, she should be going back to work. Su Chen had called her yesterday, but she did not answer. He must be urging her to go back to work. There were many people in the house, so Chi Xia decided not to answer the call and not give the other party a chance to speak. Chapter 1061: Ill Give You Five Minutes to Go Downstairs Chapter 1061: Ill Give You Five Minutes to Go Downstairs The call was hung up. Su Chen frowned and sent a voice message. How dare you ignore my calls! Chi Xia, youve got guts! Call me back! Chi Xia pouted when she received the message and replied, Young Master Su, my phone is broken. The touch screen is not working, so I cant answer the call. Im leaving first because I used my mothers phone to log in to WeChat. Im sorry. Su Chen saw the message and smiled. He turned the steering wheel and drove into the neighborhood. Then, he replied, If I remember correctly, you should havee back yesterday! Is that so? I remember it was the eighth day of the lunar new year! Chi Xia was innocent. I told you toe back three days earlier! I didnt hear anything. Su Chen stopped the car and looked out the window at the residential building. He replied, Its okay. Its not toote now. Lets go downstairs. Downstairs Chi Xia was stunned. Just as she was about to ask what the other party meant, another message was sent. It was a photo of her downstairs! Ill give you five minutes to pack.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chi Xia ran to the window and looked down, but she couldnt see downstairs at all. She could only hide in the bedroom and call Su Chen back.You really came to my house? The phone suddenly recovered? Chi Xia was speechless. Four minutes left. Dont try to fool me. I dont believe you! Only a ghost would believe that he woulde to her house without saying a word. Su Chens tone was calm. I dont mind taking a few more photos and sending them to you. Or should I go upstairs and knock on your door? Building 402, right? .. Dont you dare! Chi Xia stomped her feet in anger. She really regretted asking him to send her to her housest time! Three minutes left. .. Chi Xia gritted her teeth. Just you wait! After saying that, Chi Xia hung up and switched off her phone. She did not believe that he woulde to her door. If she did not go downstairs, what could he do to her? Even though that was what she thought, Chi Xia was still a little nervous. Time ticked by, and three minutes passed. Another five minutes passed, and Su Chen still did not move. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief. He definitely would not go upstairs! Downstairs, Su Chens lips curled up coldly. Was this woman trying to resist him to the end? Did she really not miss him after not seeing him for a few days? He hade to pick her up, but she had turned off her phone and was avoiding him! If she thought that she could stop him from contacting her, she was really an idiot. Then, Su Chen made another call. Chi Xia sat on the sofa and ate her strawberries casually. Her mothers phone suddenly rang. She was preparing lunch in the kitchen and asked her father to answer the phone for her. Soon, his father picked up the call. She did not know who was on the other end of the line or what they were talking about, but Chi Xia felt that after the call was answered, her father was staring at her with a strange gaze. Then, he answered enthusiastically, Okay, okay, okay. Boss Su, thank you for your trouble. Ill get her downstairs now.
Boss Su Chi Xias mouth turned into an O shape. Su Chen called her mothers phone! Father Chi hung up the phone and red at Chi Xia. Look at you, youre still sitting at home at work today. Your boss came to pick you up personally but couldnt contact you. Hurry up and pack your things. Your boss is waiting for you downstairs.
Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia was instantly petrified. Then, she heard Father Chi continue, Your boss is really amiable. He even wants to pick up his employees when hes passing by. Why dont you ask him toe up and have a meal? Chapter 1062: A Gift for the Boss Chapter 1062: A Gift for the Boss Chi Xia could no longer sit still. She jumped up from the sofa and ran towards the bedroom, shouting as she ran, Ill change and go downstairs now. Dad, Im very busy and dont have time toe over. Father Chi thought about it and agreed. Ill get your mother to prepare some gifts for her. After all, she sent you to school and even gave us such an expensive gift. We have to express our gratitude. In the bedroom, Chi Xias mouth twitched. What present did she have at home? Su Chen didnt need it at all. It would be a waste to give it to him! When Chi Xia was done cleaning up and walked out of the bedroom, she saw Mother Chi handing her many bags of things. This is some bacon and sausages that we made at home. Theres also some food. Even though its a small gift, its just a token of our appreciation. Chi Xia was speechless. Chi Xia had no choice but to take it. After saying goodbye, she rushed out of the house and heard Father Chis voice behind her, I made your boss wait for so long. Apologize to himter. Chi Xia felt a headacheing on. When she went downstairs, she saw Su Chens car parked at the entrance. Through the car window, she red at the man inside and reluctantly opened the door to get in. The moment Chi Xia closed the door, Su Chen started the car and drove off. Chi Xia looked at the man beside her. He was silent and his face was obviously angry. He didnt say anything, and she didnt say anything either. She just sat at the side and remained silent.
Su Chen finally couldnt help but look at the woman beside him and said coldly, You missed work for two days, and I came to pick you up. Is this your attitude? Do you think I cant contact you just because your phone is turned off? My phone is out of battery. I didnt turn it off on purpose! Chi Xia denied it. She thought about it and retorted, I didnt skip work. I transferred all the money to you, but you didnt ept it. Are you ming me? Are you the boss, or am I the boss? Who has the final say? You know that youre my boss, but youre still taking advantage of me. Youve already broken the rules. Give me the penalty! Seeing how unreasonable he was, Chi Xia was furious. He had taken advantage of her during New Years Eve and ruined her New Years Eve. She would think of him from time to time and her mind was in a mess, but he acted as if nothing had happened! Su Chen raised his eyebrows. What did I do to you? His innocent tone rendered Chi Xia speechless. Did he not know what he had done to her? He actually pretended to have amnesia! Chi Xia bit her lip and turned her face away angrily. She cursed softly, Rascal! Even though Chi Xias voice was very soft and she just wanted to vent her anger by scolding him, Su Chen still heard her words.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Shouldnt I deduct your sry if you call the boss a scoundrel? the man beside him said calmly. Chi Xia was speechless. Was he a dog? His ears were so sharp! Su Chen looked at the bag that Chi Xia was carrying after sending her to the car and asked, What are you holding? Chi Xia then remembered the thing in her arms. She couldnt see what was inside the ck bag, so she put it in the backseat as if nothing had happened and replied, Its nothing. Its my thing. She would not give him the delicious food that her mother had made herself. Even if she gave it to him, he would not care. She might as well keep it for herself. Su Chen didnt say anything. Just then, Chi Xias phone rang. She saw that it was Mother Chi. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Didnt you turn off your phone? Could it be a zombie? Chi Xia was speechless.
Chapter 1063: Does Your Boss Like It? Chapter 1063: Does Your Boss Like It? This man, cant you talk nicely? Since he knew that she was deliberately finding an excuse to lie to him, couldnt he just give her a little lie and not expose her? Chi Xia awkwardly picked up the call and Mother Chis voice sounded, Xiaxia, have you seen your boss? Yes, Im already in the car. Have you apologized to your boss? .. Yes. Apologize my ass! Thats good. Mom just wanted to ask if your boss likes the gift I prepared for him. Tell him that these are all home-cooked food that I personally made. They are very clean and different from the ones sold outside. Mom, he likes it. No way, because he didnt even know about the existence of this gift. After hearing that, Mother Chi hung up the phone in relief. Chi Xia put away her phone and heard the man beside her say, What do I like?
Huh? Chi Xiaxia was dumbfounded. Youre overthinking things. Im not talking about you. Oh? So you have a second boss besides me? Chi Xia was speechless. He had overheard the contents of her phone call! Su Chen looked at the package in the backseat through the rearview mirror. Those things belong to you? Of course! Chi Xia, do you know that embezzling and seizing other peoples property is a crime? Youre hogging the things your parents gave me. I think you want to deduct your sry again. Su Chens tone was light. Chi Xia felt ufortable and red at him. What do you mean Ive taken someone elses property? Its my business whether I give you my things or not. You wont like it anyway, so I might as well keep it for myself! You didnt give it to me, so how do you know I dont like it? Su Chen looked at the big bag of things behind the car. Whats the gift? n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Chi Xia hesitated for a long time before she finally said, Food. What food? Meat. Meat? Chi Xia saw Su Chen raise his eyebrows, as if he did not expect to give her meat. She pouted and said, I know you dont like it and dont want it! Su Chen frowned. Did I say that I dont like it? No matter what kind of meat it is, cook it for me when we get back! Chi Xia was speechless. He really didnt refuse anyone, even the meat! Chi Xia looked at the road outside the car and saw that it wasnt heading in the direction of Su Chens apartment. She asked, Where are you taking me? My big brother will treat us to lunch. Su Chen answered simply. Chi Xia was stunned. This was a message from Qiao Mu:Are you with Su Chen now?
Chi Xia was speechless. Was this Qiao Mu really her good friend? She clearly knew about Su Chens arrangements today, yet she didnt say anything when she called her and actually didnt inform her! C At the Li residence, Ling Xi and Ye Nuan arrived first. As soon as they entered, they saw Qiao Mu leaning against Li Yans chest. The two of them were hugging their tablets and seemed to be ying games. Big brother, are we early? Ling Xi asked.
Li Yan raised his head and red at Ling Xi. His gaze seemed to be saying, He knew the answer! However, Qiao Mu jumped out of Li Yans arms happily. Not early, not early. Youre finally here. As she spoke, Qiao Mu walked towards Ye Nuan and smiled. Ye Nuan felt ufortable under her gaze. Sister-inw, Ling Xi said, were guests. Dont bully Ye Nuan. Its fine as long as you dont bully her. Qiao Mu pulled Ye Nuan to the sofa and sat down. Then, she asked in a low voice, I heard that you moved into Ling Xis housest night? Ling Xi seems to be living with his parents. Could it be that you guys have met your parents? Chapter 1064: Asking Sister-in-law for Guidance Chapter 1064: Asking Sister-inw for Guidance Ye Nuan saw Qiao Mus gossipy look and said helplessly, Youre mistaken. Theres nothing between Ling Xi and me. Because I acted as his girlfriend at his birthday party, his parents wanted him to bring me home for dinner. I had no choice but to go and deal with it. Then why did you spend the night? During dinner, Ling Xi spilled soup on my clothes. I cant leave at night, so I can only sleep at his ce? Ye Nuan added, Im sleeping in the guest room. Hearing this, Qiao Mus expectations were dashed. She thought that the two of them had made progress. Ling Xi pursed his lips. Hearing Ye Nuans words, he felt a wave of frustration. Would it die if this woman admitted to their rtionship? She had to exin her words so clearly, as if she was afraid that others would misunderstand! Ye Nuan raised her head and met Ling Xis gaze. She was slightly startled. Why did this mans gaze look so unfriendly? Ling Xi looked away coldly. The more innocent she was, the angrier he got! Ye Nuan got up and went to the washroom. Qiao Mu looked at Ling Xi curiously. Young Master Ling, weve already brought her home, but shes still keeping a distance from you. Why do you think youre such a failure? Ling Xi instantly felt ashamed and red at Qiao Mu. Dont provoke me if you know Im angry. When Im angry, Ill be rude to you without any consideration even if youre a woman. As soon as Ling Xi finished speaking, Li Yans cold gaze swept over. Ling Little Four, youve grown a lot of courage now!
Ling Xi was speechless. Not even a joke! Youre such a tasteless man. Qiao Mu took the opportunity to mock him. No wonder Ye Nuan isnt interested in you. Ling Xi had nowhere to vent his anger. He also wanted to know why Ye Nuan was so stubborn! When he brought her home for dinner, she consciously didnt think too much about it. She didnt think about it either. Was he, Young Master Ling, someone who was forced by his parents to find a random girlfriend toe home with? Sometimes, he really felt that he was bing more and more wretched. In order to make this woman stay the night, he even spilled soup on her. Even he despised himself! Ling Xi put down his attitude. Sister-inw, do you have any good ideas for me? N?v(el)B\\jnn Qiao Mu was ttered. I wouldnt dare to. Im afraid that Young Master Ling would use violence on me. I was just joking. You took this seriously? Seeing Ling Xis expression, Qiao Mu could tell that he truly cared about Ye Nuan, but she just didnt know how to express her feelings. She thought for a moment and said, Actually, I really dont have anything that I can help you with. Let me give you an example. When Li Yan was pursuing me, if he had generously given me a few million dors, I would have been so touched. However, it varies from person to person. Ye Nuan isnt me, so this trick wont work on her. Back then, she was short of money, and Li Yan was so petty. He liked to haggle with her and made her suffer a lot. Li Yan nced at her. When have I ever pursued you? Werent you the one who was chasing me? .. How shameless! While Li Yan and Qiao Mu were flirting, Ling Xi was deep in thought. Should he try this move as well? Ye Nuan came out of the bathroom. She didnt know what they were talking about, but Ling Xi looked much better. Soon after, Lu Jingzhi and Guan Baobei rushed over from the airport. As they had brought some local specialties from Hong Kong, the servants were moving them out of the car. Qiao Mu and Ye Nuan went out to wee Baby Guan, and the three women chatted beside the car. Li Yan saw that Qiao Mu was not wearing a coat, so he took it out and put it on her. Its so cold out here. Are you going to catch a cold? Chapter 1065 - 1067-A Man in the Same Condition Chapter 1065: Chapter 1067-A Man in the Same Condition Qiao Mu smiled and put on her clothes. When Ling Xi saw this scene, he grabbed Ye Nuans jacket. He wanted to put it on Ye Nuan as gently as Li Yan did, but when he walked to Ye Nuans side, his attitude changed. He stuffed the clothes into Ye Nuans hands and said in a reproachful tone, Do you want to freeze to death? If you catch a cold, you deserve it! Puff! N?v(el)B\\jnn Qiao Mu couldnt help but want tough. She finally understood why Ling Xi didnt move Ye Nuan. His attitude was so bad, as if she owed him money. It would be strange if Ye Nuan was moved! At this moment, Qiao Mu realized thatpared to Ling Xi, Li Yan was really much better off. Ling Xis actions did not move Ye Nuan, but it made Qiao Mu feel even more touched towards Li Yan. However, Ye Nuan was already used to Ling Xis attitude. She took the clothes and said thank you without any extra reaction. Ling Xi turned around and walked into the room. He was arrogant and immersed in his thoughtfulness. Baby Guan was puzzled. Whats wrong with Young Master Ling? Ye Nuan, did you make him unhappy? What kind of attitude is that! Qiao Mu was speechless. Yet another person with low EQ came here. Couldnt he tell that Ling Xi was concerned? After some thought, Qiao Mu tactfully said, Young Master Ling, youre very considerate to care about Ye Nuans cold. Ye Nuan and Baby Guan rolled their eyes at the same time. Do you really think hes being considerate of me? Young Master Li is being considerate to you, alright? .. Alright, Qiao Mu was also speechless. Such thoughtfulness was indeed hard to digest. Young Master Ling, its really not that I dont want to help you! me your low EQ! At this time, Lu Jingzhi walked over and held Baby Guans hand as they walked into the house. The temperature here is much lower than in Hong Kong. You havent gotten used to it yet. Dont get cold outside. Im chatting with Mumu. Dont pull me! My physical fitness is very good. As a martial artist, I wont freeze so easily! Baby Guan, can you have some sense of weakness? Im not weak! Arent you weak in front of me? .. The two of them entered the house as they spoke. Behind them, Qiao Mu and Ye Nuan looked at each other. This was the true flirting between a couple. No wonder Ling Xi was the youngest and had the lowest EQ among the four. Qiao Mu wanted to call Chi Xia and ask when they would be back, but Su Chens car drove into the vipound. When the car stopped, Chi Xia suddenly realized that she hade empty-handed. She picked up the cured meat that her mother had prepared and said, Young Master Su, please give these to Mu Mu. She needs some gifts for her meal. Su Chens face darkened. You took my things to give me a gift? Did you get my permission? Put it down! Chi Xia was speechless. Su Chen: Im the one whos treating you today. Youre apanying me. You dont need to bring anything. Then why dont you give half to Mumu? Mumu especially likes to eat this. I repeat, this is mine! Su Chen red at her. Get out of the car. Chi Xia pulled her hand back in embarrassment. This man was really stingy. She was giving away some of her familys things, yet he was reluctant to do so! Chi Xia got out of the car and saw Qiao Mu waving at her. She had a bad feeling when Su Chen walked over. When Su Chen reached out to her, she ran to Qiao Mu first. Su Chens outstretched hand froze in mid-air as he watched Chi Xia run away in a panic. The corners of his mouth curled up. Ling Xi took the opportunity to tease him. Second Brother, youre so embarrassing. I wont let you touch me. Su Chen raised his eyebrows. So, you mean that your lover will let you touch her? Ling Xi was speechless. Were in the same boat! Chapter 1066 - 1068-Sparring Between Men Chapter 1066: Chapter 1068-Sparring Between Men After everyone had arrived, the hall of the Li family vi was very lively. The few of them chatted andughed, and soon it was lunchtime. Lunch was very rich and homely, and it was the dishes that Qiao Mu had ordered. During the meal, the topic of the four mens skills was brought up. Baby Guan was very interested and wanted them topete. Baby Guan was thinking that Lu Jingzhi had been so arrogant in front of her all day long. He was so arrogant when dealing with a girl like her. She wanted to make him lose in front of his brother today so that she could use him to mock him in the future. Qiao Mu had yet to witness Li Yans martial arts, so she joined in the jeering. Since we have nothing to do anyway, let us broaden our horizons. Its not good to exercise after a meal. Let them spar, Li Yan said as he stood up. Qiao Mu leaned over. Uncle, are you worried that youll lose face in front of so many people? Li Yan raised his eyebrows. It seems like you have no confidence in your mans skills. N?v(el)B\\jnn Ive never seen it before. How would I know? Li Yan scratched her nose. If youre interested, I can show you in private. However, dont you think that letting me participate will make the three of them lose face in front of their women? Realization dawned on Qiao Mu. So this was how it was! She suddenly remembered that they had said before that the order of the four people was not based on age, but on martial strength. However, that should have been many years ago. Now, everyone had improved. Then, Su Chen also refused. If Big Brother doesnt want to participate, one more person will be added to the three of us. Lets have the third and fourth brotherpete. Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Lu Jingzhi said. Dont tell me you dont have the guts topete with us? Yeah, we havent sparred with big brother for a long time. Ling Xi said. Li Yan shot a nce at the two of them who were acting recklessly. If you want topete with me, be prepared to offer up a rib. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. Ling Xi was speechless. Alright, they decided not to take the risk. Qiao Mu watched from the side and felt that Li Yan was really cool. As expected of her uncle. Then, the battlefield shifted. The living room was spacious enough for Lu Jingzhi and Ling Xi to fight. Since Guan Baobei could be coaxed, Lu Jingzhi naturally had to satisfy her curiosity. He also wanted to use this method to remind her not to always think that she was not afraid of anyone just because she had some mediocre martial arts skills. There were so many powerful people everywhere. Ling Xis mentality was that he wanted to look handsome in front of Ye Nuan, so that Ye Nuan could see his powerful side and fall in love with him. Uncle, whos more powerful between the two of them? Qiao Mu asked curiously. Ling Xi is ranked the lowest. Is he going to lose face in front of Ye Nuan? Just watch obediently. Whats the point of pointing it out before thepetition has even started? Alright then. Qiao Mu obediently watched the show. In fact, Ling Xi and Lu Jingzhis skills were about the same. For so many years, neither of them had indulged themselves and practiced diligently, especially Ling Xi. Being ranked the lowest was a big knot in his heart. He always wanted to turn things around and finally found such an opportunity. It was really rare. Su Chen, as the referee, shouted the start. Lu Jingzhi and Ling Xis aura instantly changed. Their bodies emitted a fierce aura and they began to attack each other without any defense. Lu Jingzhi suddenly raised his leg and kicked Ling Xi. Ling Xi reacted quickly and dodged. He threw a punch at Lu Jingzhis face but was easily dodged. [Im even more done for today ~] The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 1067: Lu Jingzhi Is Simply Too Handsome Chapter 1067: Lu Jingzhi Is Simply Too Handsome The two of them punched and kicked each other. Their attacks were ruthless and merciless, dazzling the onlookers. Qiao Mu was stunned. She had thought that it was just a casual spar since friendship came first, but she never expected it to be a real spar. The punches and kicks she threw out showed no mercy at all. It was as if the slightest rxation on either side would give the other an opening to counterattack. Although he knew that the few of them were very powerful, it was still a different feeling after seeing them for himself. Qiao Mu was a little regretful that she did not let Li Yan participate in thepetition. She also wanted to admire Li Yans handsome side. Just as she was deep in thought, Li Yan pinched Qiao Mus chin and forced her to look at him. Youre staring at another man so intently. Have you considered your mans feelings? Qiao Mu pursed her lips. Who asked you not to go on stage? If you were to go on stage, I would wave my hands and scream to cheer for you. Li Yan curled his lips and leaned closer to her. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, I only like topete with you. Lets go to bed at night and have a goodpetition. You can scream as much as you want. Qiao Mu was speechless. He could even think about such a serious scene. It was simply too dirty! Qiao Mu ignored him and continued to watch the battle. It was not that Baby Guan had never seen such a powerful character before. She thought that her brother was already the most powerful, but she did not expect Lu Jingzhi to be able topete with Guan Yunxiang. Although Lu Jingzhi usually used force against her and easily suppressed her, she could not help but feel less contempt for Lu Jingzhi when she saw him deal with others with her own eyes. Moreover, the enemy was also a master. When she saw the excitement, she subconsciously followed Lu Jingzhis rhythm and shouted excitedly, Kick Thats right, thats it. Why did he dodge? Kick his stomachGo, Lu Jingzhi! Lu Jingzhi seemed to have been charged by Baby Guans hard work and gradually gained the upper hand. Baby Guan jumped up excitedly and grabbed Qiao Mu, shaking her. Mumu, did you see that? Lu Jingzhi is so handsome. Hes about to win! Baby Guan had long forgotten her initial goal, which was to embarrass Lu Jingzhi. Qiao Mu felt dizzy from the shaking and agreed, Yes, yes, yes. Your Lu Jingzhi is the best, okay? Of course Baby Guan looked proud. She had just finished speaking when she suddenly realized that something was wrong and immediately changed her words. Pfft, pfft, pfft. Whose family is he from? Hes not mine! Qiao Mu was speechless. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Qiao Mu looked at Ye Nuan, who stared intently at Ling Xis figure. It seemed that men were really charming when they were handsome. These two men had achieved their goals at the same time. Ye Nuan usually saw Ling Xi as a slob, but she didnt expect him to have such a serious side. That focused and serious look was different from usual, but it was full of charm. At this moment, Ling Xis gaze suddenly turned over and met Ye Nuans eyes. Ye Nuan was stunned. She could sense the dissatisfaction in Ling Xis eyes. She was baffled. Why was this man always dissatisfied with her? Ling Xi listened to Baby Guans praises for Lu Jingzhi and felt ufortable. Lu Jingzhi was full of energy from Baby Guanspliments, but Ye Nuan did not say a word, which put him at a disadvantage. He red at the woman, but her confused expression made him even angrier. Ling Xi couldnt take it anymore and shouted at Ye Nuan, Her woman is cheering her on by the side. Is your man not as handsome as her man? Chapter 1068: Young Master Ling Is Furious Chapter 1068: Young Master Ling Is Furious Ye Nuan was speechless. Ling Xi was angry because of this. Young Master Ling, Ye Nuan said after some thought. Youre so awesome. Youre so handsome. A calm sentence without any agitation made Ling Xi lose his breath. While he was distracted, Lu Jingzhi threw a punch at him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged. He shouted angrily, Lu Jingzhi, sneak attack! Lu Jingzhi did not stop moving. Who asked you to be distracted? If you lose, you will lose face in front of your woman. Ling Xi was furious. He turned his anger into strength and started to fight back. The two of them were evenly matched, and neither of them had the upper hand. After a long stalemate, Su Chen finally interrupted, Alright, its a draw. When Lu Jingzhi stopped, Ling Xi kicked him again, causing Lu Jingzhi to mock him, Your own woman isnt strong enough and youre venting your anger on me. Arent you ashamed? Ling Xi red at Ye Nuan and sat down on the sofa angrily. This woman was really too infuriating! Comparisons were infuriating. Why was Ye Nuan so dull? Was she really not enlightened, or was she not interested in him at all? Alright, this woman really didnt seem to be interested in him. Lu Jingzhi wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and looked at Baby Guan. How is it? Are you satisfied with my performance? Baby Guan snorted. Its not bad. However, if a man cant even reach this level of skill, then hes living in vain. Lu Jingzhi was speechless. ording to her, most men in this world lived in vain. He knew that this woman did not mean what she said. He was in a good mood when he thought about how she had cheered him on just now. Compared to Lu Jingzhi, Ling Xi was depressed. Looking at the people in the room, Ling Xi realized that he was the biggest failure! Ye Nuan noticed Ling Xis displeasure. Although it was a little strange, it seemed to be caused by her. She handed him a towel. Young Master Ling, wipe your sweat. Ling Xi was sulking and sat there without moving. Ye Nuan looked at the beads of sweat on his face. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. She raised her hand and wiped his sweat with a towel. N?v(el)B\\jnn Ling Xis body stiffened and she looked up at Ye Nuan. She wiped his sweat seriously, her movements gentle and gentle. Ye Nuan looked at him. Young Master Ling, if you dont wipe your sweat after exercising, youll catch a cold easily. Ling Xis anger was reduced by half after hearing that. Why didnt you cheer me on just now? he asked in a deep voice. Do you think Im not powerful enough? Of course not. Youre very powerful. Ye Nuan said softly. You are very powerful This time, Ling Xis angerpletely disappeared. This woman was not that infuriating. At least she cared about him! Ling Xi sat there, allowing Ye Nuan to wipe his sweat. Seeing that he had calmed down, Ye Nuan handed him a towel. Wipe your neck yourself. Wipe it for me. Ling Xi leaned back on the sofa like a lord, waiting to be served. Qiao Mu, who was watching the show from the side, could not help butugh. Young Master Ling, dont you have limbs? You still need Ye Nuan to serve you. Do you want to strip naked and go into the bathroom so that she can help you take a shower? Qiao Mu was already familiar with these people, so she had no limits when it came to jokes. After she finished speaking, everyone in the room startedughing. Li Yan smiled helplessly. This little thing must have been infected by him for a long time. Her words were bing more and more casual. Ling Xi didnt think much of such a joke. However, Ye Nuans face was red as she stood stiffly at the side. [This is the second days update. Its very heartwarming, isnt it?] Chapter 1069 - 1071-Their Own Worlds Chapter 1069: Chapter 1071-Their Own Worlds Ling Xi grabbed Ye Nuans wrist and pulled her to sit down beside him. He took a towel from his hand and wiped himself a few times before pulling Ye Nuan into his arms. Sister-inw, it seems like you often help Big Brother bathe. Big Brother is really lucky. Im not as lucky as Big Brother. I cant stand such treatment. Hearing Ling Xis words, Ye Nuan was slightly stunned. Was he protecting her? Ye Nuan was already used to being made fun of by others. When she was acting as someone elses girlfriend, she was often teased by Young Master Lins friends at the dinner table. Sometimes, she would be very angry, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it. Who asked her to y the role of a girlfriend? She wasnt a real girlfriend, so why would she step forward to protect her? It didnt matter if they teased her a little. However, even she herself did not take Qiao Mus harmless joke seriously. Yet, Ling Xi spoke up to defend her. This feeling was very foreign to her. After Ling Xi finished speaking, it was Qiao Mus turn to feel embarrassed. She hid behind Li Yan andined, Uncle, some people are so heartless. They even asked me for advice with a good attitude before, but they changed their attitude just like that. Li Yan hugged Qiao Mu. Ignore him. This is called forsaking friendship for a woman. Puff The group of people couldnt help but want tough. Was it really appropriate for Young Master Li to say the words forsaking friendship for a woman ? The person who forsakes friendship the most at the sight of women is him! The afternoon quickly passed, and Qiao Mu suggested, Shall we go out for a feast tonight? I have something to do, so I wont go. I have something to do too. Then I have something to do too. .. Qiao Mu looked at her femalepatriots. Theyre all busy. Shall we meet up alone tonight? Li Yan was displeased when he said that. Im fine. So you want to leave me alone at home? Qiao Mu was speechless. At this moment, Su Chen had already stood up and pulled Chi Xia along. She and I have something on, well leave first. Im fine, Chi Xia said. Why did you drag me along? Su Chen was displeased. Have you forgotten that you still have work tonight? Chi Xia was speechless. So, he wanted her to go back and cook for him, right? Then, Lu Jingzhi dragged Baby Guan away. We havent gone home since we came back. Were leaving too. Ling Xi looked at Ye Nuan. Are you busy tonight? Ye Nuan thought about it. I want to go home. Okay, after you have dinner with me, Ill send you home! Ling Xi held Ye Nuans hand and left. After a while, everyone in the house left, leaving only Qiao Mu and Li Yan. Alright, Li Yan said. We can have some alone time now. What are your ns? Qiao Mu leaned into Li Yans embrace and thought for a while. Uncle, its still early. Lets go out to watch a movie and then have a feast, shall we? Li Yan smiled. Alright. Qiao Mu happily went out with Li Yan. This was their second time watching a movie, and the cinema was packed with people during the new year. The two of them watched the New Year blockbuster. When they walked out of the cinema, the sky was already dark. They went straight to the restaurant to eat. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om While waiting for the dishes, Qiao Mu went to the washroom. When she passed by a private room, she saw that the room was filled with people, and it was extremely lively withughter and chatter. Among them, she immediately saw Shu Xinyu. Shu Xinyu sat in the crowd with a gentle expression. Ning Tongtong sat on her left, and a middle-aged man sat on her right. Qiao Mu had seen him before. He was Ning Tongtongs father. It turned out that this was the Ning familys banquet. Chapter 1070: Are You The Qiao Familys Biological Daughter? Chapter 1070: Are You The Qiao Familys Biological Daughter? Shu Xinyu looked like she waspletely immersed in the family atmosphere. Qiao Mu did not see that gentle expression on her face often. It was the gentleness Shu Xinyu used to show Ning Tongtong, but it was even more intense now. Qiao Mu only felt a stinging pain in her eyes, but she didnt stop and walked past the rooms door. Qiao Mu felt that Shu Xinyu was truly ironic. She abandoned her child, yet she lived a blissful life with a clear conscience. In the past, Qiao Mu would still think that Shu Xinyu was a good mother to Ning Tongtong, but now, she only felt nauseous. Perhaps everything Shu Xinyu did, whether it was ying the role of a good mother or ying the role of a good person at the orphanage, was all to make up for the mistakes she had oncemitted. No! Shu Xinyu had never felt that she had done anything wrong. This woman was truly terrifyingly selfish. Qiao Mu always thought that if her mother wasnt so terrible, perhaps she wouldve kept harboring the thought of acknowledging her mother. Fortunately, Shu Xinyu was so heartless that shepletely let go of this thought. Since she had nothing to do with that woman for the past 18 years, she hoped that the time in the future would remain the same forever. When Qiao Mu walked past the door of the room, Shu Xinyus gaze caught her, and her expression changed. She said that she was going to the washroom and got up to leave the room. Qiao Mu stood in front of the sink in the bathroom to wash her hands. When she looked up at the mirror, she realized that Shu Xinyu was standing behind her. Her expression darkened and she looked at him expressionlessly. She wiped her hands clean and turned around to leave.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Qiao Mu, I have something to ask you, Shu Xinyu said at this moment.
Qiao Mu stopped in her tracks, her eyes cold. Madam Shu, I dont think I can help you with anything. Then Ill get straight to the point. I want to know if youre the biological daughter of the Qiao family. Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Mu with a hint of uncertainty in her tone. Upon hearing her words, Qiao Mus pupils constricted. What do you mean? Shu Xinyu observed Qiao Mu. When I was at the orphanage, I heard the director say that youre an orphan. Is this true? Hearing the other partys questioning tone, Qiao Mu sneered. Dont you think youre very rude? You asked me if Im an orphan right away. What does it have to do with you? Ms. Shu is being kind and wants to care about me, the person youve always hated and despised? Qiao Mu, Im asking you calmly. Heh, why should I answer you when you ask me? Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly, sinking them into her palms. She desperately reminded herself to calm down and not reveal any trace of agitation. Shu Xinyu frowned. With your upbringing, its not surprising that youre an orphan. Is this how Qiao Jiannan taught you to talk to your elders? You have no manners at all! At this moment, Qiao Mu really wanted tough out loud. This was what Shu Xinyu should have said. This was her true colors! The woman who had been pretending to be gentle and talking to her just now was not Shu Xinyus nature at all! Qiao Mu looked straight at Shu Xinyu and said word by word, Ms. Shu, my upbringing has nothing to do with you. You dont have the right to criticize my father. You were the one who took the initiative to look for me. I dont want to have any conversation with you. Ive always been like this to irrelevant people. Shu Xinyus expression turned ugly. She did not expect Qiao Mu to not give her face like this. Chapter 1071: 1073-Still Not Cruel Enough Chapter 1071: Chapter 1073-Still Not Cruel Enoughn/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Qiao Mu paused for a moment before continuing, Regarding your question just now, I feel that I still have to tell you. Qiao Jiannan is my father, and you should know that my mother abandoned me. To me, this person is dispensable and meaningless. Qiao Mu said these words so righteously and so heartbreakingly. Her mother no longer existed. After Shu Xinyu heard Qiao Mus words, her expression shifted slightly, and she seemed to heave a sigh of relief. I really dont understand. You clearly have parents, yet an orphan has to appear in an orphanage. Howughable. I dont have any objections to you having such a hobby. I just want to confirm it. Shu Xinyu turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned around and nced at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu, youre really amazing with what happened to Tongtong thest time. Although you let Tongtong off, you let Li Yan destroy mypany! Qiao Muughed. Dont you understand that you have to pay the price for doing something, Madam Shu? I almost died. Even if Ning Tongtong is locked up in prison for the rest of her life, she deserves it. Or do you think that my rotten life cant bepared to your daughters? I deserve to be hurt, and it doesnt matter if she did something wrong? Your life and death are irrelevant to me. I only care about Tongtong! I hope that our family will no longer have anything to do with a sinister woman like you. As Qiao Mu watched Shu Xinyus figure disappear through the door, she felt as if her heart had been forcefully torn apart by a pair of hands, and the pain was suffocating. There would be no more involvement! This was also what she wanted. She really did not want to have anything to do with this woman anymore! She walked out of the bathroom and wanted to go back as if nothing had happened. However, halfway through, she felt as if all her strength had been sucked away. She leaned weakly against the wall and her body went limp. She squatted down and hugged her knees. She bit her lip hard, reminding herself not to pay attention to it.
She should have gotten used to all of this long ago. Was it because she was not ruthless enough that she still cared about it? How could shepete with Shu Xinyu in ruthlessness? That woman had no heart at all! In the private room, the dishes had already been served, and Qiao Mu had yet to return. Li Yan stood up and walked to the washroom, only to see a petite figure squatting in the corner. His expression froze as he strode forward. Qiao Mu was lowering her head when she felt a tall figure stop in front of her. Before she could raise her head, that familiar aura enveloped her entire body, and the hands on her right arm wrapped around her. A worried voice sounded. Mu Mu, why are you squatting here? Did he sprain his ankle? Or does your stomach hurt? Li Yan could only think of these two possibilities. Qiao Mu was still alive and kicking when she left the private room, but in just a short while, her face had turned pale and lifeless. Her appearance made his heart ache. Qiao Mus nose turned sour, but she did not feel awkward or pretentious. She opened her mouth and said to him, I saw Shu Xinyu. Li Yan instantly understood what was going on. Shu Xinyu had said nasty things to Qiao Mu again! Mumu, Im sorry. Li Yans sudden apology stunned Qiao Mu. Why was he apologizing to her? Li Yan stood up with Qiao Mu in his arms and said softly, I shouldnt have chosen this restaurant to eat. Lets leave now. Chapter 1072: A Man Who Protects His Wife Like His Life Chapter 1072: A Man Who Protects His Wife Like His Life Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu felt like crying andughing at the same time. Her nose turned sour, and her eyes reddened. How could he be so shameless? It wasnt his fault. How could he apologize to her so easily? It wasnt worth it to apologize to her for such a thing! She shook her head. I dont want to leave. We havent eaten yet. Why should we leave? I still want to eat a big meal! Li Yan curled his lips. This was his little woman. He rubbed her head. You can walk on your own? Of course! Qiao Mu held Li Yans arm and intimately stuck close to him as they walked into the private room. Sometimes, she felt that the man beside her had a power that she could not see. In front of him, all her negative emotions would disappear. As long as he was around, all her unhappiness was not worth mentioning. Although there was still a trace of gloom in her heart that she could not go back to, she believed that time would solve everything. Those things that she did not want to remember would definitely bepletely let go. Just as the two of them passed by the private room of the Ning family banquet, Ning Yue came out and bumped into Li Yan and Qiao Mu. What a coincidence, President Li. Ning Yue spoke first. Youre having dinner here with your girlfriend?
Li Yan looked at him and nodded slightly. His expression was cold and he did not even greet him. Qiao Mu knew that Li Yan had a good upbringing. Even though he always had a high and mighty attitude, he would still nod and greet others in a distant manner when they greeted him. The way he treated Ning Yue now was obviously because of her, which made Li Yan treat the Ning family so coldly. Ning Yue admitted that he was in the wrong and said with an awkward smile, President Li, I havent apologized to you for what happenedst time. My daughter broke into the goods. Thank you, President Li, for not pursuing the matter anymore. As a father, Im really sorry.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om At this moment, Shu Xinyu walked out upon hearing the sound. When she saw Li Yan and Qiao Mu, her expression changed. Li Yans gaze swept across Shu Xinyu coldly. He raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice, CEO Ning, it seems like youre too busy with thepany and dont have the mood to discipline your daughter. I advise you to put in more effort into your daughters upbringing. Otherwise, itll be toote if she really gets into trouble one day. Ning Yue nodded. President Li is right. After this incident, my lover and I have educated her. She knows she was wrong. Shu Xinyus eyes were burning with rage as she red at Qiao Mu. This woman was truly sinister. In just a short while, she had already dragged Li Yan out to show her how powerful she was! Li Yan smirked coldly and looked at Shu Xinyu. But it seems that Madam Shu doesnt think that your daughter is in the wrong. Just now, she was targeting my lover. How could Li Yan, who had always protected his wife like his life, not seek revenge for Qiao Mus grievances? Since Shu Xinyu was present, she naturally wouldnt let this woman off so easily! She had made his woman sad time and time again. If he had not guessed her identity, he would not have only attacked herpany! Ning Yues expression was a little ugly. He red at Shu Xinyu and then smiled at Li Yan. President Li, you must be joking. How is that possible? My wife and I both understand that its our daughters fault. Naturally, we wont me thisdy. Qiao Mu silently watched this scene from the side. Shu Xinyu, who was standing behind Ning Yue, had an extremely ugly expression, but she forcefully suppressed her displeasure and smiled. Qiao Mu found her appearanceughable. [Im even more done for today ~] Chapter 1073: My Woman Has the Right to Be Arrogant Chapter 1073: My Woman Has the Right to Be Arrogant Shu Xinyu always had one image in front of others, and another image behind them. The anger hidden under the surface naturally would not be revealed. The more this was the case, the more Qiao Mu could not figure out how much this woman hated her to target her like that! It was because of Ning Tongtong that this woman had already categorized her as vicious. However, Ning Tongtong was clearly the one in the wrong for everything, yet Shu Xinyu could not see Ning Tongtongs fault at all! Qiao Mu didnt want to be entangled with Shu Xinyu any longer. Just as Shu Xinyu said, they had nothing to do with each other from now on. She looked up at Li Yan. Forget it, lets go. Li Yan did not nod. He looked at Ning Yue coldly, his entire body emitting a cold aura. CEO Ning, youve seen it yourself. My lover is very easy to talk to, but that doesnt mean that she can be bullied by others. Your daughter may be priceless in your eyes, but shes worthless in my eyes. Dont challenge my patience again. If the same thing happens again, your daughter wont be sitting here eating without a problem. As for the Ning Corporation President Ning, take care of yourself! Li Yans words were filled with undisguised threats and warnings. His words were filled with coldness, and no one dared to underestimate him. Qiao Mu could feel the sinister aura emanating from Li Yans body. It was so cold that it could freeze people, but she felt warmth in her heart. Compared to Shu Xinyus attitude towards her, the feeling of being protected by Li Yan made her heart melt. As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Ning Yue quickly added, I understand. Dont worry, President Li. Thank you for showing mercy. There wont be a next time. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Ning Yues attitude caused Shu Xinyu to feel a wave of anger. No matter what, Ning Yue was still an elder, but Li Yan had used such an attitude to humiliate him! What made her even angrier was that Ning Yue had epted Li Yans suppression without any temper, which made her angry and furious! Li Yan held Qiao Mus hand and walked towards his private room. At this moment, Shu Xinyu stepped forward and was about to say something, but Ning Yue quickly grabbed her wrist and stopped her from speaking. Li Yans influence in the business world was not something that the Ning family could resist. He could make Shu Xinyuspany go bankrupt with just a few words, and he could also make a move on the Ning Corporation with just a few fingers. Moreover, this matter was Ning Tongtongs fault. Ning Tongtong was the one who provoked them first, so they could only endure it. However, Shu Xinyu could not care less. She shook off Ning Yues hand and red at Li Yans back. President Li, what Tongtong did was indeed wrong, but our family paid the price. Mypany went bankrupt. Isnt this punishment? Its not that serious, but President Li is so ruthless. We admit it, but have you ever thought that protecting the woman beside you will only make her more arrogant and bring shame to your face? Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly. It seemed like Shu Xinyu really disliked her, which was why she risked offending Li Yan and belittled her time and time again. Thats right. Shu Xinyu had always treated Rang as Li Yans nameless lover. She had never thought that she was his fiance. Li Yans eyes darkened instantly. He nced at Shu Xinyu. Do I need others to tell me how to treat my woman? Even if shes spoiled by me, Ill clean up her mess from behind. She has the capital to be arrogant! He paused, and his voice suddenly turned cold. As for yourpanys bankruptcy, you must be mistaken. Thats not a punishment at all. If Ms. Shu wants to see how I behave after Im really annoyed, I dont mind you giving it a try. Chapter 1074 - 1076-Qiao Mu’s Identity Chapter 1074: Chapter 1076-Qiao Mus Identity Shu Xinyu was stunned by Li Yans undisguised defense of Qiao Mu. She originally wanted to let Li Yan see Qiao Mus character clearly and give him a reminder, but she did not expect Li Yan to have such an attitude! Shu Xinyu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Ning Yue. President Li, please forgive me. My wife doesnt mean any harm. Its just that shes not in a good mood after something happened at thepany recently. Please dont mind her. Li Yan coldly retracted his gaze and did not say anything else. He held Qiao Mus hand and left. After the two of them left, Ning Yue red at Shu Xinyu angrily. How could you be so impulsive? You said those words to Li Yan. If you anger him, our family will suffer as well. Cant you keep your cool?! How would I know that Li Yan is so protective of that woman? Mypany has been destroyed by him, and he doesnt allow me to argue? Arent you still feeling indignant for Tongtong?! Tongtongs bad habit was caused by you spoiling her. If she didnt provoke him, would he target her? Ning Yues tone was very bad. Shu Xinyus expression changed drastically. Youre saying that its all my fault? For your daughter, I didnt hesitate to offend Li Yan. Now that thepany is facing bankruptcy, Im doing this for her own good, but youre ming me now? Ning Yue realized that he had gone overboard with his words, so he lowered his voice. Alright, Xinyu, too many things have happened recently. Lets calm down and dont be angry. Shu Xinyu never expected that Ning Yue would throw a tantrum at her. She stared in the direction Qiao Mu had left in, her eyes burning with anger. As long as Qiao Mu was involved, nothing good woulde out of it. Ning Tongtong had gone from a designer to a giarist that everyone despised, and herpany had also met with misfortune. Qiao Mu was simply a jinx. Whoever provoked her would be in trouble! Her phone rang. Shu Xinyu saw the caller ID and walked to the side to answer the call. The assistants voice came through the phone. President Shu, Ive already investigated the matter that you asked me to investigate. The orphanage said that Qiao Mu is indeed an orphan, but they didnt find any detailed records of her entering and leaving the orphanage. The orphanage didnt reveal the privacy of the orphans. As for the Qiao family, they didnt find any clues either. Qiao Mu has shares of the Qiao Corporation under her name. This proves that Qiao Mu is indeed Qiao Jiannans daughter. Shu Xinyu pursed her lips and hung up the phone with an unclear expression. The orphanage had indeed treated Qiao Mu as an orphan, and this fact shocked her. If Qiao Mu was really Qiao Jiannans daughter, how could she have anything to do with the orphanage? However, if Qiao Mu was not Qiao Jiannans daughter, then Qiao Jiannan would not treat her like his own daughter. He could not figure it out! At this moment, Ning Tongtong walked out of the private room and smiled at Shu Xinyu. Mom,e in and eat. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Alright. Shu Xinyu nodded and absentmindedly entered the private room. Behind her, Ning Tongtongs smile had changed. She had heard everything that had happened just now. She wondered what Shu Xinyu had found out, which made her panic. Ning Tongtong did not return to the private room. Instead, she turned around and walked toward Qiao Mu and Li Yans private room. C In the private room, Qiao Mu looked at the table full of delicacies and felt a little unappetizing. Although Li Yan had helped her vent her anger, her heart was still sour and she could not describe what she was feeling. Li Yan opened a hairy crab and handed the shell that was filled with crab roe to Qiao Mu. Youre in a bad mood today, so Ill allow you to eat a few more crab roe. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan. He was only looking at her with a doting gaze. He did not need to say anyforting words. Just a nce was enough to warm her heart. Chapter 1075: A Problem He Couldn’t Solve Chapter 1075: A Problem He Couldnt Solve Usually, this man alwaysined that she didnt know how to eat properly. She liked to eat hairy crabs, so she ate crab roe without restraint. Every time, he would limit the amount, saying that crab roe was too high in calories and that she shouldnt eat too much. In the past, no matter how nicely she negotiated with him, it would be difficult for her to eat one more. She always felt that she was sometimes abused by him and was very unhappy. At this time, he generously rxed his requirements for her, obviously wanting to make her happy. Qiao Mu very impolitely picked up the crab shell and started eating. This man had always understood her very well. He knew what she wanted and what she didnt want, and he could easily see through her thoughts. She really did not need those high-sounding constions. She understood all the logic. No matter how much she consoled her, it would not change the truth. The truth was like this. She had no other choice but to ept it and let it go. Qiao Mu quickly finished a crab roe and licked her lips. She then said to Li Yan, The second one. Eat the crab meat, reminded Li Yan helplessly. I want to eat the crab roe first. Im afraid youll regret itter. Qiao Mu acted shamelessly. Li Yan did what he said. He opened another crab shell and handed it to Qiao Mu. In just a short while, Qiao Mu had eaten five crab roe, which was her usual limit. When she reached out for the crab, Li Yan stopped her. He then ced the crab meat on her face. She took a look and ate the crab meat without hesitation. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om As she ate, the man opposite her reminded her like an old mother to eat more ginger to get rid of the cold. Qiao Mu suddenly recalled that Li Yan had once said that she had no parents, so he could be her father, her mother, her lover, and y any role. At this moment, all of Qiao Mus unhappinesspletely disappeared. She widened her eyes and looked at Li Yan mischievously. Daddy, youre so good to me. Li Yan stopped eating and looked up at the mischievous little woman. The corners of his lips curled up. Be good. Ill take good care of you when we get home tonight. Qiao Mu was speechless. F * ck! She had forgotten that this man was shameless in front of her. How could he say such shameless words? Qiao Mu buried her head in her food while Li Yan looked at her with a smile. Gradually, the curve on the corners of his mouth disappeared. Li Yan had always believed that there was nothing in this world that he couldnt solve. He could handle anything very well. However, after meeting Qiao Mu, he realized that she was the only problem that he couldnt solve. And regarding Shu Xinyus matter, it made him feel even more helpless. Seeing her sad and disappointed, he was actually helpless. If it was anyone else, he would definitely make them pay a painful price and make that personpletely disappear in front of her. However, the other party was her mother. He could not do anything to her. Qiao Mu noticed the slight changes in Li Yans expression. She suddenly realized that she was only concerned about her own depression and neglected her happiness. This man was even more unhappy than she was. She picked up some food and brought it to Li Yans mouth. Uncle,e, have a bite. Li Yan opened his mouth and ate it. The corners of his lips curled up as he looked at her ambiguously. I prefer you to feed me with your mouth. .. Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan for two seconds before she stood up and sat down in front of him. Li Yan raised his eyebrows as he watched the little woman put a piece of beef into her mouth and then puckered her lips to kiss him. Chapter 1076 - 1078-Delivered to the Door and Suffered a Blow Chapter 1076: Chapter 1078-Delivered to the Door and Suffered a Blow Her face was slightly red. Due to the difference in height, she could not touch his mouth at all. She looked a little funny with the beef in her mouth. Li Yan could not help but admire the little things initiative. Qiao Mu raised her head and saw that the man waspletely unmoved and unresponsive. She stood up unhappily and straddled Li Yansp. She wrapped her arms around his neck and fed him the beef in her mouth. The corners of Li Yans lips curled up. He pressed Qiao Mus head down and kissed her lips, sweeping the food in her mouth into his own. At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open. Qiao Mus movements froze, and she quickly jumped down from Li Yansp. She red at Li Yan in embarrassment and anger before turning back to look at the door in embarrassment. However, the person who came in was not a waiter, butNing Tongtong! Ning Tongtong never expected to see such a scene the moment she entered the room. Qiao Mu was sitting on Li Yansp, shamelessly feeding him with her mouth. The scene was so intimate that it made her jealous, but it was also so obscene that it disgusted her! He had long known that Qiao Mus methods of seducing men were formidable, and it was indeed so. Looking at her pure appearance, the things she did were truly eye-opening. No wonder Li Yan was seduced by her. What a slut! Ning Tongtong looked at Li Yan. Im sorry, Young Master Li. Ive disturbed your meal. Qiao Mu frowned at Ning Tongtong. What are you doing here? Ning Tongtong felt disgust from the bottom of her heart when she saw Qiao Mu acting like a master. She suppressed her anger and softly said, Im looking for Young Master Li. Qiao Mu, can you make decisions regarding Young Master Lis matters? Qiao Mu raised her brows, not knowing what Ning Tongtong was nning. She shrugged and sat down at the side. Li Yans cold eyes swept over Ning Tongtong. His expression waspletely different from when he was with Qiao Mu earlier. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ning Tongtong felt a wave of imbnce in her heart. Why was she so gentle to Qiao Mu but so cold to her? She took a step forward and approached Li Yan with a pitiful look in her eyes. Young Master Li, Im here to apologize to you. My parents offended you just now. Im really sorry. Its all my fault. Please dont be angry, Young Master Li. Qiao Mu felt that Ning Tongtong was truly courting death by trying to get close to Li Yan for no reason. She wondered what this pig brain was up to. She was eating her delicious food when she heard Li Yans voice of disgust.Did I allow you toe in? Qiao Mu curled her lips. She did not need to look to know how awful Ning Tongtongs expression was. Didnt she want tomunicate with Li Yan? He would let her enjoy the treatment of being defeated. Ning Tongtong refused to give up. She hung her head and said, Young Master Li, please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf. As long as you say the word, I can do anything. I sincerely hope that you can forgive me. Qiao Mu nced at Ning Tongtong. Her delicate and pitiful appearance was so well put on. Seemed like this pig-brain didnt take her seriously at all when seducing her man in front of her. Qiao Mu couldnt be bothered to argue with the pig brain, so she picked up a crab and started eating it when Li Yan wasnt paying attention. Just as she was waiting for Li Yan to open his mouth to attack Ning Tongtong, a hand suddenly reached over and snatched the crab from her hand. She raised her head and met the mans displeased gaze, but her tone was very gentle,pletely different from when she was facing Ning Tongtong. I already told you not to eat crabs anymore. Eat more vegetables. If you dont want to eat, then dont eat. Youre so stingy. Qiao Mu pouted and nced at Ning Tongtong. But youre just going to let her stand here and watch us eat? Im afraid Ill have indigestion. Chapter 1077: Ning Tongtong, This Pig Brain Chapter 1077: Ning Tongtong, This Pig Brain Ning Tongtong clenched her fists. This damned Qiao Mu, who did she think she was? Li Yan would listen to whatever she said? However, what infuriated her even more was Li Yans attitude. She tried to please Li Yan, but he treated her like air and cared about what Qiao Mu ate. That doting tone was a stark contrast to the way he treated her, making her even more jealous. At this moment, Li Yan finally shifted his gaze back to Ning Tongtong. His expression returned to its previous cold and indifferent state. He raised his eyebrows and said, Since youre so sincere, Ill give you a chance to admit your mistake. Ning Tongtongs eyes brightened when she heard that. She stared at Li Yan as if she had seen hope. She lowered her head shyly. Please tell me, Young Master Li. Im willing to do anything. Then, she red at Qiao Mu, thinking to herself that Li Yan had given her a chance in front of Qiao Mu. Next time, Qiao Mu would be ruthlessly pped in the face. Lets see if she still dared to be so arrogant! Qiao Mu looked at Ning Tongtong as if she was watching a good show. Although she did not know what Li Yan meant by a chance to admit her mistake, it was definitely not something good. Yet, Ning Tongtong, that pig-headed girl, looked as if something good was about to happen, as if she was about to receive Li Yans favor. Li Yan leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked down at Ning Tongtong from above. Ning Tongtong was instantly moved by his gaze. If such a handsome and domineering man became her man, it would be the same as getting the whole world! At that time, she would be able to trample Qiao Mu beneath her feet Just as this thought shed through Ning Tongtongs mind, Li Yan opened his mouth and said casually, Then give yourself two ps. In an instant, Ning Tongtong felt that there was something wrong with her hearing. What did Li Yan say? He wanted her to p him? She widened her eyes in shock, unable to ept this fact. Young Master LiYou must be joking, right? Li Yan narrowed his eyes coldly. Do you think I have the time to waste with you? Are you joking? Ill give you 10 seconds! Ning Tongtongs face was ashen as she fiercely gritted her teeth and furiously red at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu was very innocent. She was not the one who asked Li Yan to do this, but she was very happy to see this scene. As expected, Li Yan was a worm in her stomach and knew what she wanted. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Ning Tongtongs words were so sincere that she could not figure out what Li Yan was thinking. However, she knew that Li Yan definitely did not want others to go against his wishes. She gritted her teeth and raised her hand to p herself. The pain and resentment exploded in an instant, and then he pped himself again. These two consecutive ps came too suddenly, and Qiao Mu, who was watching the show from the side, was dumbfounded. She didnt expect Ning Tongtong to be so obedient. She really hit herself when she was told to! Ning Tongtong put on a pitiful expression after she was done. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Li Yan. Young Master Li, is that enough? Can you forgive me? She had already done so much. She did not believe that this man would still be indifferent and ignore her! However, Li Yan did not even look at her and said coldly, If youre done, get lost. Ning Tongtongs face instantly turned pale. At this moment, she felt like a clown being toyed with! Then, she looked at Qiao Mu, who was gloating and watching a good show. Ning Tongtong gritted her teeth in resentment and turned to rush out. Chapter 1078: Her Daughter Could Not Be Qiao Mu! Chapter 1078: Her Daughter Could Not Be Qiao Mu! Seeing Ning Tongtong leave in a sorry state, Qiao Mu finally couldnt hold it in any longer. She mmed the table and burst outughing. Uncle, youre really too evil. Youre not even capable of humiliating someone like this. Youre too amazing. She beat her own subordinate so ruthlessly that her face was flushed red. Didnt you see her expression just now? It was as if she had applied makeup on her face. It was colorful and extremely ugly! On the other hand, Li Yan was not interested in what Ning Tongtong had be, but he was in a good mood when he saw Qiao Mu so happy. Seeing that she wasughing so hard that she was out of breath, he said helplessly, Dontugh when youre eating. Just eat. Well go home after dinner. Oh, pfftGive me a little more time Li Yan was speechless. C Ning Tongtong returned to the door of her private room. Shu Xinyu came up to her and stopped her when she saw Ning Tongtongs head hanging low and her sorry state. Whats wrong, Tongtong? Where did you go? Ning Tongtong shook her head. Im fine, Mom. Why is your face so red? Why is there a palm print? Shu Xinyu was startled. Who bullied you? No one bullied me. Ning Tongtongs voice became choked. I provoked them myself. I pped them myself. What did you say? Tell me what happened! Shu Xinyu questioned. Ning Tongtongs eyes started to tear up. Mom, I heard the conversation between you and Dad and Li Yan just now. I know its all my fault. Ill go apologize to Li Yan. I dont want my family to be implicated because of me So he pped you? No, I pped myself. It was just two ps. Since Qiao Mu wanted me to p myself twice, Ill fulfill her wish. If this can stop Qiao Mu from sowing discord, our family will have less trouble. As Ning Tongtong spoke, tears flowed out of her eyes and she started crying in a very aggrieved manner. These words infuriated Shu Xinyu. She wanted to settle the score with Qiao Mu, but Ning Tongtong stopped her. Mommy, Li Yan is here. We cant offend him. Daddy is right. Lets just endure it. We know what kind of person Qiao Mu is, so well just not interact with her. Im really fine. Shu Xinyus face was ashen from anger, but she still endured it. However, she could not suppress her disgust for Qiao Mu. Ning Tongtong finally felt a little better. She hadnt suffered two ps in vain!

Shu Xinyu was in the study room, browsing through information on the Inte. Ever since the orphanages director said that Qiao Mu was abandoned by her parents in this orphanage, her heart had been in aplete mess.

Shu Xinyu looked up all kinds of information, but she couldnt find out which hospital Zhou Jieru gave birth to Qiao Mu in the past. Zhou Jieru seemed to have disappeared, and she couldnt be found at all. Shu Xinyu stared at theputer and felt a pain in her temples.
