From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 109 - I Regret It

Chapter 109: Chapter 109 I Regret It

Qiao Yi, holding a box as if presenting a treasure, handed it to Lu Yanchuan with an expectant look on her face.

In all the time they had been married, Qiao Yi had never formally given Lu Yanchuan a gift. This time, she thought of preparing one for him because they needed to prepare return gifts for Old Mr. Lu’s old friends.

Lu Yanchuan was also somewhat surprised. He had received many gifts, but receiving a specially prepared gift from Qiao Yi was indeed something that had never happened before.

“What’s this?”

A small box about the size of a fist was pushed into Lu Yanchuan’s hand.

After pushing the box over, Qiao Yi seemed to be startled and hopped back to the sofa, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Lu Yanchuan looked at Qiao Yi, who had retracted back, with amusement and curiously opened the box in his hand.

Lying in the middle of the black velvet was a white jade ring, with a few streaks of green floating flowers mixed in, naturally forming a circle of wondrous patterns.

It was only after Lu Yanchuan picked up the jade ring that he realized it was a thumb ring.

However, compared to the thumb rings and rings on the table in front of Qiao Yi, this one was obviously a bit more rough.

A small guess rose in Lu Yanchuan’s mind. He slipped the thumb ring onto his thumb and turned it around quite comfortably.

“Thank you, I really like it.”

Qiao Yi’s ears turned red. She now really wanted to rush in front of Lu Yanchuan and snatch that thumb ring back.

She regretted it—why did she have to personally grind out a thumb ring!

Feeling Lu Yanchuan’s substantial gaze on her back, Qiao Yi grew so nervous that she almost froze up.

“As long as you like it…”

Qiao Yi decided to be like an ostrich with its head in the sand; giving out the thumb ring was already her limit, and if she had to do anything else, she would probably explode on the spot!

Fortunately, Lu Yanchuan seemed to realize her shyness and didn’t say much else; instead, he inquired about the pile of items on Qiao Yi’s table.

“Dad is taking us to join Old Mr. Zhou’s banquet, right? I thought about bringing some gifts.”

Qiao Yi picked up a jade carving from the table and shook it in front of Lu Yanchuan before putting it into a small box next to her.

“If it weren’t for the leftover materials from last time, I really wouldn’t have known what to prepare.”

Packing boxes is not an easy task after a while either. Having packed the final box, Qiao Yi stood up and stretched her back, with several joints in her body painfully groaning.

“Ah… I’m really exhausted…”

Lu Yanchuan glanced at the pile of boxes next to Qiao Yi. Even for attending a family banquet, one wouldn’t need to bring so many gifts, right? There must be thirty or forty of them?

Noticing Lu Yanchuan’s gaze, Qiao Yi touched her ear somewhat sheepishly.

“It might be a bit too much, but I thought this kind of thing is inevitable in the future, so it’s better to prepare more at once. When it’s needed later, you can just take them out directly, which is more convenient!”

Preparing gifts for banquets was never something Lu Yanchuan had to consider since he was always on the receiving end of gifts. Even if gifts needed to be prepared, his assistants or secretaries would have them ready in advance.

“There’s also one more thing, recently keep an eye on Lu Ming’s movements, I feel there’s something odd between him and Qiao Xin.”

Although today was only a brief meeting with Lu Ming, Qiao Yi felt that Lu Ming’s attitude towards Qiao Xin had changed since before they went to Jiang City.

Qiao Yi couldn’t pinpoint what was off, but it just felt strange.

This time, it was Lu Yanchuan’s turn to be surprised. Yun Qing had told him about something that he hadn’t yet mentioned to Qiao Yi, but Qiao Yi had already sensed something was wrong with Lu Ming. Should one say a woman’s sixth sense is truly terrifying?

“Do you know Lin Ke?”

“What? Lin Ke?”

Who is Lin Ke, Qiao Yi might not have known her six months ago, but now she knew her all too well!

Wasn’t Lu Ming demanding that she donate one of her kidneys to Lin Ke in an aboveboard manner, even going so far as to smear her own reputation in public…

If it hadn’t been for Lu Yanchuan’s arrival back then, she…

Lu Yanchuan caught Qiao Yi as she suddenly threw herself at him, and without time to wonder, she was already clinging to him. With a pair of small hands, she clumsily touched him twice before slipping them into his pants.

Perhaps Qiao Yi thought she had moved on, but being betrayed by her own sister and fiancé, one after another, would be too much for anyone to bear.

Qiao Yi could act as if nothing had happened for so long, which meant she was quite resilient mentally.

Lu Yanchuan didn’t make any other moves, just held Qiao Yi by the waist to prevent her from falling.

After writhing in Lu Yanchuan’s embrace for a while, Qiao Yi twisted her arms and legs around him, burying her face in his chest and humming with a muffled voice.

“Lu Yanchuan, I regret it…”

“Hmm?”

Qiao Yi refused to speak further, instead, she clung to Lu Yanchuan more tightly.

Like a drowning person, grasping at a life-saving straw.

The next day, after getting out of bed, Qiao Yi, who had turned into a human-shaped pendant, decisively pushed Lu Yanchuan aside and made an appointment with Lu Xiaohua to do a beauty treatment.

Since she had already agreed to attend the banquet, of course, Qiao Yi couldn’t let herself lose face among all the noble ladies and young misses!

When Lu Yanchuan went to pick up Qiao Yi, she hadn’t finished yet. Lu Yanchuan glanced at the door and was startled by Qiao Yi’s new style.

Indeed, women are a terrifying creature.

Returning to the old residence with Lu Yanchuan, they just happened to meet Qiao Xin and Lu Ming who had just arrived. The four of them looked at each other with dislike and completely ignored each other as they walked inside.

If possible, Qiao Yi really didn’t want to breathe the same air as Qiao Xin.

Qiao Xin was holding back anger from being played by Qiao Yi, and naturally, she didn’t want to talk to Qiao Yi either. Both felt mutual dislike, and this situation continued until the next day when they went to the banquet.
