Chapter 180: Chapter 173 Because You Are My Wife
As the man’s voice faded, Qiao Jing’s heart quivered and stirred.
So it really was that impossible guess she had harbored in her heart previously.
Did Zhan Qipei really put all his plans on hold because of her?
“Why… why are you so good to me?”
During this time, Qiao Jing felt that Zhan Qipei was exceptionally good to her, and whatever decision he made, he fully considered it from her perspective, prioritizing her stance.
She thought this kind of behavior was something only a mother could exhibit so selflessly.
Even if it were a mother, most people couldn’t compare to even half of what Zhan Qipei did, much less a tenth.
Zhan Qipei’s lips curled up slightly, his gaze on Qiao Jing was as tender as it could be.
“What do you think?”
What does she think? If she knew, would she be asking you?
Just as Qiao Jing was inwardly complaining, the man looked at her seriously and said, “Because you are my wife, if I don’t treat you well, who will I treat well?”
The man spoke in a very natural tone, which made it hard to doubt any falsehood in his words.
Qiao Jing stared at the man, slightly stunned.
She admitted, Zhan Qipei might really see her as his wife.
At the same time, she also knew clearly that she had no such thoughts or intentions towards Zhan Qipei.
“To be honest, do you want to hear it?”
Zhan Qipei’s brows furrowed, his eighth sense as a man told him that he might not like what Qiao Jing was about to say next.
But if she wanted to speak, he couldn’t stop her.
“Go ahead.”
“I think you’re quite a decent person,” Qiao Jing honestly said.
Zhan Qipei raised his eyebrows, he liked hearing that.
However, Qiao Jing shifted her tone, “We are very suited to be friends.”
The way Qiao Jing gasped while speaking almost threw Zhan Qipei off his rhythm.
He just knew, a man’s eighth sense wouldn’t deceive him.
“Fine, we’ll start as friends, and then as husband and wife.”
Qiao Jing “…”
That’s not what she meant, okay?
Qiao Jing knew the man said it on purpose, and also knew that with his stubborn nature, he wouldn’t give up his decision, no matter how clearly she spoke.
Nevermind, just let it happen naturally.
After all, there were only 90 days left.
Just three months, fleeting in an instant.
Wu Xirui received the news that Lan Yinyin was captured by Zhan Qipei, his face revealed a sinister, morbid smile.
“Zhan Qipei… truly worthy of being the successor personally chosen by Old Master Zhan, Lan Yinyin was discovered so quickly.”
He was very curious, where did Lan Yinyin slip up?
“Bring someone.”
Upon hearing this, the person waiting outside came in.
“Fifth Master.”
“Send a few more people to bring Lan Yinyin to me. Remember, bring her alive. I have questions for her.”
“Yes.”
As night fell,
Zhan Qipei received a phone call from Tang Yan.
“President Zhan, someone has kidnapped Lan Yinyin.”
“Didn’t I tell you to deploy more people around?” Zhan Qipei had guessed that someone would definitely come to take Lan Yinyin away tonight, so he had asked Tang Yan to station additional personnel around to catch the enemy easily.
“The intruder is skilled! Strong. And they seem to know the villa’s layout quite well.”
Hearing Tang Yan’s words, Zhan Qipei raised his hand and touched his chin, sinking into thought.
“Are you suspecting there’s a mole?”
“It’s a possibility, otherwise, the people I sent wouldn’t have been dealt with so easily,” Tang Yan analyzed.
“Alright, I got it.”
Tang Yan asked tentatively, “So, should I continue sending people to investigate?”
“No need, if they hide like sewer rats, they might be hard to find. Rather than wasting time and energy, it’s better to wait for them to come to us.”
Zhan Qipei guessed that since the opponent’s target was him and the plan had not succeeded, they would definitely not give up easily.
Qiao Jing, looking at Zhan Qipei’s serious face, asked in confusion, “What happened?”
“Lan Yinyin has been kidnapped,” Zhan Qipei replied.
“Did they escape?” Qiao Jing guessed.
“No wonder I married you, you’re so smart,” Zhan Qipei suddenly smiled broadly, looking at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing rolled her eyes subtly at Zhan Qipei, are you trying to have a serious conversation here? Can’t you be serious?
“Thanks, I know I’m smart, you don’t need to compliment me. Everyone in the world praises me.”
Zhan Qipei was amused by Qiao Jing’s deliberately narcissistic demeanor, his wife was indeed adorable.
…
Lan Yinyin was brought before Wu Xirui and told him everything she knew.
“No wonder. No wonder he figured it out. Qiao Jing… Hmm… quite an unexpected figure indeed! What surprised me even more is that Zhan Qipei had known all along that you had ulterior motives, yet kept you by his side, waiting to catch this big fish. But because of Qiao Jing, he decided to remove the bait, you.”
“It shows that Zhan Qipei really cares about Qiao Jing. Since Zhan Qipei cares so much about Qiao Jing, I must take her away from him and let him taste what it’s like to have his wife stolen.”
Wu Xirui decided not only to take Qiao Jing from him but also to make her pregnant with his child in the shortest possible time, to drive Zhan Qipei to complete despair!
Listening to Wu Xirui’s words, Lan Yinyin felt unbearably jealous. Why was it always Qiao Jing?
Zhan Qipei was saved by Qiao Jing, and even Wu Xirui had feelings for her. While Lan Yinyin believed that her looks and figure were not inferior to Qiao Jing’s, she had to endure so much suffering.
This isn’t fair!
Just as Lan Yinyin was cursing Qiao Jing in her heart, Wu Xirui’s gaze fell on her.
“I thought you might be of some use, but it turns out you’re totally useless.”
Wu Xirui’s sudden voice frightened Lan Yinyin terribly.
“Fifth Master, spare my life! Spare me! Considering that I’ve dedicated myself to completing tasks for you tirelessly, I may not have merits but I have put in the efforts! Please give me another chance to serve you, I’m willing to go through any trials for you,” she begged while kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
“Oh? You’re willing to do anything?” Wu Xirui looked at Lan Yinyin with eyes as sharp as knives.
Confronted by such a demonic gaze, Lan Yinyin was so scared her goosebumps ran down her spine. Swallowing her saliva, she replied, “I—I am willing.”
“Good, very good!” Wu Xirui stretched out his hand, grabbed Lan Yinyin’s chin tightly without any tenderness, lifted it and looked it over.
“I’m going to send you for plastic surgery, you might be useful in the future.”
Plastic surgery? Lan Yinyin’s heart trembled fiercely, terrified, but she was even more afraid of the consequences of refusing Wu Xirui.
Finally, she could only accept Wu Xirui’s arrangements, as he made cuts on her face.
Hate!
It was all Qiao Jing’s fault, she believed that one day, Qiao Jing’s fate would be worse than hers!
Three days later.
A celebratory banquet hosted by the Zhan Family and Zhan Nanqing was held at a five-star hotel.
“Dang dang dang—”
