Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chi Li gritted her teeth. “Since Qiao Chen doesn’t like that woman, why does he want to marry her?”

“I don’t know either. Who knows what Qiao Chen is thinking? My daughter, let’s forget it. Since Third Master Qiao has already announced this matter, what’s the use of persisting?” The lady sighed and patted her daughter’s shoulder helplessly.

“I won’t give up!” Chi Li said angrily. “That b*tch is just an orphan. She has no power or influence. What can she bring to Qiao Chen by marrying him? She must have seduced Qiao Chen, which is why Qiao Chen had no choice but to marry her. I won’t let her succeed! I’ve liked Qiao Chen for so many years. I won’t lose to such a woman!”

Chi Li ignored her mother’s advice and left the hall.

A moment later, Chi Li said to the waiter in front of her, “Are you clear about what I said?”

The waiter nodded, and Chi Li said in relief, “Go on.”

…

Xu Wan slept soundly in the suite. When she woke up, the sky was already dark.

Qiao Chen wasn’t back yet.

Xu Wan caressed her stomach. She felt a little hungry.

“Are you hungry too?” Xu Wan muttered to the baby in her tummy.

Perhaps she was too lonely. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Xu Wan would talk to her child from time to time.

Xu Wan stood up and walked out of the bedroom. She was about to call for food when she heard a knock on the door.

After opening the door, the waiter pushed the food cart in and asked, “Do you need to eat?”

Xu Wan nodded her head. What a timely meal.

After the waiter left, Xu Wan ate a few pieces of pizza and tried other desserts until she felt her stomach was almost full. Then, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and was about to call Qiao Chen to ask when he would be back.

“Hey.”

Qiao Chen’s voice was still cold and gloomy. Xu Wan shuddered before she asked, “Are you coming back?”

“Did you miss me?” Qiao Chen’s tone carried a hint of teasing. It was chilly, but very seductive.

Xu Wan’s face flushed red. She hung up the phone drearily.

Why was this person so indecent!

Qiao Chen held the phone and hesitated.

This woman hung up again.

Logically, Qiao Chen should feel angry. Yet this time, he could feel that Xu Wan was a little shy when she hung up the phone.

This woman knew how to be shy?

Qiao Chen’s lips curled up into a smirk, his eyes revealing a hint of mischief.

He suddenly felt that it was quite fun to tease her.

“Mr. Qiao, do you think we have the chance to work together?” The man opposite couldn’t help but remind Qiao Chen after he saw him being in a daze after receiving the call.

Qiao Chen nodded politely at the man. “We’ll talk about this later. I have something on, so I’ll get going first.”

“Okay, sure. Take care. We’ll talk again when we have the chance.” The man’s tone was respectful as he sent Qiao Chen off.

Qiao Chen spun the room card in his hand. On the way back to the suite, he couldn’t help but imagine Xu Wan’s expression when she saw him.

Qiao Chen opened the door.

The air was filled with the aroma of food.

Qiao Chen glanced over and saw Xu Wan lying on the sofa.

Qiao Chen frowned. Did she fall asleep?

He walked to Xu Wan’s side and patted her cheek with his cold hand. “Hey, wake up!”

Qiao Chen didn’t expect Xu Wan’s face to be burning!

What was going on? Was she having a fever?

Qiao Chen was a little surprised. He put his hand on Xu Wan’s forehead. She didn’t have a fever. Why was her face so hot?

Just as Qiao Chen was feeling puzzled, Xu Wan suddenly hugged him tightly, her arms around his neck.

Her soft cherry lips took the initiative to move up and suck on Qiao Chen’s lips uncontrollably. Qiao Chen was dumbfounded.

Was this woman… crazy?

“Hey, wake up…” Qiao Chen grabbed Xu Wan tightly. He wanted to drag the woman who was clinging to him away.

Xu Wan groaned unhappily and stared at Qiao Chen coquettishly. Her eyes were full of grievance and desire, as well as love and seduction.

“I want…” Xu Wan’s voice was delicate. It made Qiao Chen’s heart itch, and his body reacted instantly.

Did she know what she was talking about?

Qiao Chen’s eyes darkened, and his breathing became heavier.

“What do you want?” Qiao Chen asked knowingly.

Xu Wan was in a daze. She only felt that the man’s hand on her face was cool and comfortable. Hugging the man also felt very comfortable. Her whole body was scorching like a ball of fire. She wanted to pull the man over to burn with her.

“I want… I want you…” Her voice was tender and seductive.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Wan would never say such a thing—Qiao Chen knew it very well.

But why did he… like it when she said that?

His body’s reaction was becoming more and more obvious. Qiao Chen restrained himself and replied in a low and hoarse voice, “What… do you want me to do?”

She was going crazy, and he was like a devil that was luring her to hell. His voice was bewitching and seductive..
