Chapter 48 -48: He is Actually So Unscrupulous

He Xiuyu’s gaze was intently fixed on Qiao Qingyu as he observed her clear eyes and her unusual expression. He was certain that Qiao Qingyu was serious.

He slowly began to speak, his voice deep, “Qiao Qingyu, no one can disrupt my life and then just clap their hands and walk away!”

Haha, is he bragging about being a talented literary figure?

“Listen to me now, He Xiuyu,” Qiao Qingyu tapped her finger on the table, emphasizing strongly, “The divorce is definitely happening. Take this money; from now on, I don’t owe you anything.”

The room suddenly fell into dead silence.

In such a quiet atmosphere, He Xiuyu’s expression was inscrutable. He leaned over, with a smile that was not quite a smile, looking at Qiao Qingyu. Their eyes met and they breathed each other’s air. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he murmured softly, “Qiao Qingyu, slipping into my bed isn’t so easy!”

Qiao Qingyu’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the calm-faced He Xiuyu, her face turning bright red. She opened and closed her mouth, “Scoundrel, filthy scoundrel!”

He’s the male protagonist, how can he be so shameless!

Seeing his focused gaze and his beautiful thin lips parting as if he were about to speak, Qiao Qingyu pounced like a little leopard, trying to stop him from speaking, but He Xiuyu firmly grasped her wrist.

“Let go of your nonsense, He Xiuyu, shut your mouth!”

But she was slightly shorter; instead of blocking his mouth, it looked more like she was throwing herself into his arms.

Qiao Qingyu’s gaze was fiercely fixed on He Xiuyu, her voice just as fierce, “He Xiuyu, if you dare to bring this up again, I’ll fight you with my life!”

He Xiuyu chuckled softly. His gaze remained inspecting Qiao Qingyu’s face. When he was sure that her eyes lacked the usual fascination and love, he knew she had indeed changed.

She no longer liked him.

How could this be!

She didn’t understand how difficult it was for them to get married, nor did she know the effort and price he had paid for it.

Nor did she know the deep-seated hatred in his mother’s eyes and his father’s overnight whitened hair when he announced he would marry her.

Their union had placed everyone in an awkward, unbeatable relationship.

Therefore, he had brought her back to the Northwest Base.

He was busy, but even when he was busy, he would drop everything and come back immediately whenever she made trouble.

Explaining logic to her seemed beyond her comprehension.

His patience was limited, but he was still bearing it.

Their marriage was ridiculous, but he still clenched his teeth to maintain it.

Actually, these past few days, Qiao Qingyu had made him breathe a sigh of relief, but now, he realized that the breath was actually stuck here.

He drew closer to Qiao Qingyu, their proximity very close, their light and pleasant breaths instantly intermingling. He still lowered his voice, “Qiao Qingyu, keeping me silent is actually quite simple…”

The usually slick and scheming Qiao Qingyu became confused.

Did he actually say that?

“Scoundrel!” Qiao Qingyu spat out three words, pushed him, and He Xiuyu released his hand, allowing her to retreat to the doorway.

Then she glared fiercely at He Xiuyu once more before turning and leaving.

That figure, it somewhat resembled a hurried escape.

He Xiuyu’s gaze was deep, and after a few moments, he packed the money he had prepared for Qiao Qingyu’s household expenses along with the money that Qiao Qingyu had brought, and put them all together in a drawer.

He thought to himself, where did Qiao Qingyu get all this money?

Perhaps it was from her family.

But it didn’t quite seem likely…

His expression calm, he sat down and continued working as if nothing had happened.

Qiao Qingyu stood outside the door, her complexion very poor, not expecting to have her defeat right there.

He Xiuyu’s behavior shattered her perception of him as a gentleman as pure as jade—what gentleman, he was just a shameless rogue!

She walked on furiously, and only when she reached the entrance of the village did she finally calm down.

Divorce was He Xiuyu’s sensitive spot, not to be touched, but why?

Isn’t divorce a good thing?

Was it just because she crawled into his bed, held him tightly, and because he was drunk, he also hugged her in a daze?

But besides that, there was nothing else!

Thinking of this, Qiao Qingyu’s face flushed again; actually, as an experienced internet user, she shouldn’t be so shy.

But she couldn’t help it; the memories of the original body couldn’t be erased; she remembered that night all too clearly.

She didn’t want to think about it, but when she did, it was so embarrassing she wished she could bury the original owner underground.

The original owner and her cousin had arranged it all—two minutes after she entered, her cousin would come and knock on the door, bringing a few people to watch, so that He Xiuyu would have no choice but to acknowledge it.

In the end, things went according to her wishes.

But it also caused a huge uproar.

Now, it was she who started this ridiculous situation, and it was she who would end it; wouldn’t it be a joy for both the Qiao Family and the He Family to have nothing to do with each other anymore?

Was it worth it for him to be persistent over this?

He didn’t even like her!

Where was the problem then?

Qiao Qingyu began to analyze He Xiuyu’s personality calmly; first of all, he was a scientist passionate about research and innovation, pure and self-disciplined.

So, his reaction didn’t seem strange.

He definitely had a reasonable, scientific plan for his life.

But she had barged in unexpectedly.

For him, marriage was also like an experiment; when an uncertain element appeared, he would sort it out and clarify it, rather than let it take its course.

Was that it?

At that moment, Qiao Qingyu really wanted to go back and ask him.

…

Qiao Qingyu was tired from walking and took an afternoon nap at Sister-in-law Li’s house.

When she woke up, it was almost dark.

Qiao Qingyu immediately got up, and Sister-in-law Li, leading a sullen Xiao Hu, also returned.

She resolutely refused to allow Xiao Hu to scrounge for food anymore.

As she was putting on her shoes, Xiao Hu asked beside her earnestly and quietly, “Aunt Qiao, I’m thinking of being your son, what do you think?”

Qiao Qingyu looked at Xiao Hu in astonishment; the cheeky kid, influenced by Rongrong, was now thinking of changing allegiances?

She lowered her voice as well, “That’s not up to me. Your mom has to agree first.”

Adopting an older son wasn’t bad, especially since this kid was smart, knew how to make money, and was protective; when He Xuerong first entered the entertainment industry, people didn’t know about her family background.

One of the big bosses took a fancy to her and set up a trap to get her, arranging two nephews to record it; he used this method to ruin many girls who aspired to be stars.

After succeeding, he would leave with his nephews and cronies…

With the video in his hands and controlling the resources, the humiliated girls didn’t dare to complain, allowing him to remain untouchable, while he maintained the public image of a successful philanthropist.

He Xuerong’s agent was Li Mingguang’s person, so He Xuerong managed to escape the big boss’s villa smoothly, but the agent was beaten half to death.
