Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’m sorry…” Eventually, Lu Huan’s tightly clenched hands loosened. She bowed to Sun Ping and apologized. At the same time, tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.
Sun Ping’s gloomy expression did not brighten up at all. He did not say anything.
Lu Huan turned around and looked at Xu Jiaojiao. Xu Jiaojiao’s face was pale, and she had not said a word. Even when she looked at Lu Huan, there was no expression in her eyes.
She must be secretly overjoyed.
Lu Huan clenched her fists again and a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes. “I’m sorry.”
Sun Ping was not happy with her nonchalant and insincere attitude. Just as he was about to say something, a low voice suddenly spoke from the door.
“I don’t sense any sincerity. You should tell that to the judge.”
Xu Jiaojiao was stunned as she looked at the door.
A man in a black coat walked in quickly. His facial features were handsome, and there was a hint of anger on his face. When he saw Xu Jiaojiao, the anger disappeared and a smile appeared on his thin lips.
Seeing Qi Shenbai walk over, Xu Jiaojiao finally felt at ease.
Since last night, she had not dared to sleep too soundly. She was afraid that someone would take advantage of her momentary negligence and use her carelessness against her.
It was only when she saw Qi Shenbai that she could finally relax her tense nerves.
At this moment, Qi Shenbai was striding towards her. He walked straight into the morning sunlight, as if he had crossed thousands of barriers to dispel all her worries in the mortal world.
All the worries and anxieties Xu Jiaojiao had suppressed earlier suddenly threatened to overwhelm her. She wanted to confide in him and seek his comfort.
Qi Shenbai saw the tears in her eyes and thought that she was not feeling well. He quickened his pace and walked up to her.
“Are you feeling sick?”
Qi Shenbai placed his hand on her forehead. The warmth of his palm reassured Xu Jiaojiao as she spoke in a hoarse voice.
“What are you doing here?”
After confirming that she did not have a fever, Qi Shenbai heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Xu Jiaojiao helplessly. “Didn’t you say that you would call me if something happened? You didn’t even tell me that you were sick.”
His deep and magnetic voice was very pleasant to the ears. The girls present were itching to hear him say more. At the same time, they were vexed. Why didn’t they have such a handsome and considerate boyfriend?
Lu Huan stared at Qi Shenbai’s back, feeling extremely bitter and angry.
How could he treat Xu Jiaojiao so gently? What right did Xu Jiaojiao have to deserve such treatment from him?
She was just an ignorant country bumpkin pretending to be innocent!
“I’m fine, it’s just a small cold…” Xu Jiaojiao said, clearly feeling a little guilty.
Qi Shenbai did not say anything. If he continued to lecture her in front of everyone, he would probably annoy her.
Sun Ping could not help but ask, “Who are you, again…?”
He had heard from Xu Jiaojiao that she had an older brother, but whether it was in terms of looks or the way they interacted, they did not look like siblings.
Unexpectedly, Qi Shenbai did not answer his question. Instead, he took out a diamond ring from his pocket.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Qi Shenbai took the diamond ring and put it on Xu Jiaojiao’s ring finger.
“You forgot to wear your wedding ring when you went out. Don’t forget next time, okay?”
Everyone was stunned.
The girls could hear the sound of something shattering. It was their hearts…
They thought that they might stand a chance, but it turned out that the hottie was already married.
Now, all they could do was envy Xu Jiaojiao.
“So they’re already married…” Sun Ping thought out loud. He could not help but feel shocked. After all, Xu Jiaojiao was still quite young.
Qin Yu looked at Xu Jiaojiao in shock. She was already married, and from a single glance, Qin Yu could already tell that her husband was strikingly handsome. Judging from his clothes, he must be from a wealthy family, too, and he was definitely no ordinary man.
Xu Jiaojiao did not like to keep a high profile, so she did not usually wear her wedding ring. She would only wear it when she went to the Lu Family or to visit her grandmother. It was just a simple deterrent effect that could save her a lot of trouble.
She never once considered wearing it for this art trip, so she could only nod sheepishly when Qi Shenbai confronted her about it. “Okay, I won’t do it again.”
After that, Qi Shenbai stood up and turned to look at Qin Yu and Sun Ping. Finally, his gaze landed on Qin Yu. “I heard that you were the one who started this entire ruckus. You even accused my wife of seducing your fiance, right?”
His sharp eyes seemed to see through their thoughts with a hint of disdain.
His contempt was directed at Qin Yu as well as Sun Ping.
Qin Yu’s tiny ray of hope was dashed when Qi Shenbai called Xu Jiaojiao his wife. She hurriedly explained, “It’s a misunderstanding. 1 was also deceived…” “A misunderstanding? I don’t care why you were targeting my wife. I want you to apologize to her, right now!” Qi Shenbai’s tone was unquestionable..
