Yi Qingchen suddenly laughed out loud. “Hey, speaking of which, it’s all thanks to me that you can get a wife! Ruoxi is my…”
“Huh?”
As soon as he said this, Feng Yunan glared at Yi Qingchen with his dark eyes. Yi Qingchen immediately corrected himself. “It was a slip of the tongue. I mean Xiao Qiao used to be my employee.”
Yi Qingchen really felt that Feng Yunan was too overbearing. His possessiveness was extraordinary. His woman could not be mentioned by others?
However, he just insisted on mentioning it. “Are you worried about Ruoxi? Have you fallen in love with her?”
!!
Yi Qingchen knew about Feng Yunan and knew that he had always liked Wen Ke’er. If he had not gotten drunk at his place and had a one-night stand with Qiao Ruoxi, he would not have been forced to marry her by his grandfather.
“…”
Yi Qingchen’s words were like a shocking gong, ringing in his heart. It stunned him for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
爱上?
‘Are you kidding me?’
It was as if Feng Yunan had heard the funniest joke in the world. How could he fall in love with Qiao Ruoxi?
She was just a scheming woman who would do anything to achieve her goals. He would never fall in love with such a woman!
Feng Yunan’s method of self-hypnosis directly denied Yi Qingchen’s conjecture. However, deep in his heart was a huge ripple from his question.
He only wanted to control and possess Qiao Ruoxi. How could it be love?
The atmosphere was a little cold. Tang Yebing picked up his glass and said, “Come on, Boss. Let’s not talk to someone who has never been in a relationship. He has no right to judge. We are the ones who are in the same boat. Let’s have a drink.”
In fact, he was as depressed as Feng Yunan.
His stubborn sister, Li Yixue, had been in a deadlock with him ever since he caught her last time and punished her severely.
How frustrating!
‘Why are women so annoying?’
Why was a woman’s heart like a needle at the bottom of the ocean, unable to be touched?
Feng Yunan finished the whole bottle of wine and collapsed on the sofa. Perhaps only when he was drunk and unconscious would he not feel troubled and not face problems that he did not want to face.
Alcohol would solve a thousand worries. He could ask for a short period of peace and quiet, but he did not know how the person from the Sea Pavilion would sleep tonight.
Ocean Pavilion.
Qiao Ruoxi sobbed for a while until Auntie Jiang came to her and asked in a low voice, “Young Madam, are you okay?”
She lifted her sleeve and wiped her tears with it. Shaking her head, she said, “I’m fine, Auntie Jiang.”
“The floor is cold, get up!” Auntie Jiang reached out to help her up.
When Qiao Ruoxi stood up, she felt dizzy and her legs were numb.
He heard sounds coming from downstairs and looked over. He saw that it was Fu Huaiyi who was helping to clean the villa.
‘Feng Yunan left. Did Xiu Yi not go with him?’
The man left angrily, leaving behind a mess and a series of rumbling motor sounds.
She thought that Xiu Yi was responsible for driving.
But now, she couldn’t help but worry. She was worried that if he drove too fast while in a rage, they would get into an accident.
She let go of Auntie Jiang’s hand and walked down the stairs. “Didn’t you follow Feng Yunan?”
“No, the president left in his own car,” Xu Xiyan replied as she stared into Xiu Yi’s bloodshot eyes.
“If… if he drives too fast, won’t it be very dangerous?”
Qiao Ruoxi’s eyes were filled with worry. It wasn’t that Qiao Ruoxi didn’t have feelings for their president. She cared about Feng Yunan more than they thought.
“Don’t worry too much, Young Madam. The President’s driving skills are very good,” Xiu Yi comforted.
It was as if Qiao Ruoxi had heard a joke. “You call his lousy skills good?”
Xiu Yi was speechless.
Qiao Ruoxi was the first person who dared to criticize Feng Yunan’s skills.
Since Qiao Ruoxi was concerned about Feng Yunan, Xiu Yi said, “Young Madam, if you’re worried about him, why don’t you give him a call? He might come back after receiving your call.”
“Who cares about him? I’m just asking. I don’t care where he goes.”
Qiao Ruoxi did not want anyone to read her mind. She quickly denied it and went upstairs.
But what she didn’t know was that her eyes and panicked behavior had already betrayed her heart.
She was just lying.
Feng Yunan did not return the whole night.
The sound of waves could be heard coming from outside the window. It sounded like crying, and it was especially cold.
Qiao Ruoxi lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
She was worried for him and sad for him. She did not know how long she had to endure this torment before she fell asleep.
When she went downstairs the next morning, Qiao Ruoxi found that the villa that had been smashed into pieces had returned to its original state.
The house and furniture could be repaired, but could the tiny cracks in her heart be repaired?
Feng Yunan wasn’t there. She knew that he hadn’t come back since last night. Where did he go?
‘Did he go look for Wen Ke’er?’
‘Did Wen Ke’er get what she wanted?’
She was the one who threatened her and forced her to leave Feng Yunan. She did as she was told, but her heart was not at ease.
Pushing someone she liked into someone else’s arms was perhaps the stupidest thing she had ever done.
Actually, she really wanted to tell him last night that she loved him.
She wanted to ask if he cared about her a little too.
However, she didn’t dare to do it!
He had repeatedly emphasized that she was nothing to him. She was just a tool and a transaction. That was why she did not dare to reveal her feelings so easily.
She was afraid of being mocked by him. She was afraid of being mercilessly rejected by him. She was afraid of being cruelly trampled by him. She was afraid that she would lose her dignity in the end.
The weather was getting colder by the day.
The driver took Qiao Ruoxi to Di Ruiling Jewelry’s flagship store. She got out of the car, wrapped herself in a thick jacket, and walked to the store.
The shops on both sides of the street were decorated with white Christmas decorations.
Qiao Ruoxi came to the door of the flagship store and saw a tall Christmas tree outside.
Before she knew it, Christmas was coming.
Time flew.
It was almost Qiao Ruoxi’s birthday, which happened to fall on Christmas day too.
Pop, pop…
The sound of two cars honking came from afar and snapped Qiao Ruoxi out of her trance. She turned towards the sound and saw a silver car parked on the other side of the road.
The window of the driver’s seat was rolled down. With her sharp eyes, she could immediately tell who was sitting there.
It was Qin Xuming!
Was he going to pester her again?
Qiao Ruoxi could not help but panic as she recalled the terrifying words he had said at the gala that night. She quickly turned around and walked into the store.
As soon as she entered, her colleague told her, “Qiao Ruoxi, the manager is looking for you. You’re in big trouble.”
Qiao Ruoxi was confused. She didn’t know what trouble she was in. Was it because she had a fight with Feng Yunan last night and the man wanted to fire her?
