The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1013 - 410: You’re Not Obedient, You’re Lying

Chapter 1013: Chapter 410: You’re Not Obedient, You’re Lying

Song Qiao heard Zuo Yuqing’s words, and she failed to hold the cup steadily, causing it to fall directly onto the table with a crisp ’bang’ sound before it rolled off and shattered on the floor.

The sound of the cup breaking also made Zuo Yuqing, who was about to continue speaking, suddenly stop, and she raised her head to look directly at Song Qiao opposite her, her face expressionless.

It was as if she had long anticipated this reaction.

But she had anticipated this reaction because she didn’t know.

Song Qiao felt deeply shaken, especially when she heard Zuo Yuqing say that Lu Jingchen almost died in the Middle East, she felt a wave of intense fear engulf her heart.

She always knew that Lu Jingchen had been looking for her all these years, even coming close to finding her home in Paris a few times, but each time Chu Munan erased the traces in secret, allowing her to live freely for these five years without being found by Lu Jingchen.

In Paris, it was no one’s domain; neither Lu Jingchen’s nor Chu Munan’s, but strangely, Chu Munan’s influence in Paris was much greater than Lu Jingchen’s, and it was done deliberately by Chu Munan, so she had not been found by Lu Jingchen in these years.

It took a long while for Song Qiao to regain her composure, she looked up at Zuo Yuqing opposite, biting her lips, and after a long pause, she murmured, "I’m sorry... I didn’t know these things... I’ve been in Paris all these years, never even been to the Middle East... I never thought someone would use me, deceive him into going to the Middle East, and then make a move against him..."

She really didn’t know these things; those years she had been busy avoiding Lu Jingchen while working, living, and taking care of her daughter, and she believed that Lu Jingchen was so capable that nothing would happen to him, but she hadn’t expected...

Zuo Yuqing heard Song Qiao’s words and interrupted lightly, "Song Qiao, the one you should apologize to isn’t me, it’s Lu Jingchen..."

Song Qiao suddenly raised her head to look at Zuo Yuqing in front of her, her pink lips moved, but in the end, not a single word came out.

Yes, the person she should apologize to the most was Lu Jingchen.

But after thinking carefully, she felt she still couldn’t say those three words to Lu Jingchen.

Probably because there were too many things standing between them.

Zuo Yuqing wasn’t in a hurry at all. She poured herself a cup of floral tea, took a sip, and then looked at Song Qiao opposite, continuing, "In the five years since you left, Lu Jingchen hasn’t been doing well, especially in the first year after you left, there was a time when he worked incessantly for three hundred and sixty-five days, and he almost broke off relations with Lu Tianming because he realized part of the reason you left was due to something Lu Tianming said to you. However, he isn’t sure what exactly Lu Tianming told you, but he didn’t dare to really blame Lu Tianming, only blaming himself..."

Throughout, Zuo Yuqing kept recounting those events, and Song Qiao just listened quietly, not interrupting.

Zuo Yuqing kept talking about what happened to Lu Jingchen in the years after Song Qiao left, and Song Qiao felt a very strange mood as she listened.

Perhaps it was because learning about that man’s affairs from another woman’s mouth made her feel a bit odd, but that feeling didn’t last long because she could sense that Zuo Yuqing probably no longer had the same feelings for Lu Jingchen, she was merely telling her about things she didn’t know in those five years.

Sure enough, towards the end, Zuo Yuqing spoke to her calmly and said, "Song Qiao, regarding Lu Jingchen’s matters, this is all I know and have shared. Finally... I just want to tell you one thing: I am indeed married now, and I have a daughter who is already over three years old, a year younger than your son."

Upon hearing Zuo Yuqing’s words, Song Qiao’s face was filled with disbelief.

It seemed she hadn’t expected Zuo Yuqing to be married, and her daughter was only a year younger than her son, which meant Zuo Yuqing was already pregnant when her son was born?

Yet all these years she had been following Zuo Yuqing’s news but had never heard about her marriage or that she had a daughter...

Zuo Yuqing looked down at the cup of floral tea in front of her but did not pick it up. Instead, she continued, "The year after you left An City, I got married. In all honesty, I am still not accustomed to the fact that I am married, and even now, when I see my daughter, it feels a bit surreal... Oh, and my husband isn’t someone from our circle, just an ordinary person who treats me well... So you need not consider me a rival anymore, and for the things I’ve done to you in the past, I want to apologize here."

Upon hearing Zuo Yuqing’s words, Song Qiao felt something was off, but after thinking it through, she couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.

Suddenly, she remembered Chu Munan.

If she wasn’t mistaken, Chu Munan and Zuo Yuqing once had a complicated relationship, didn’t they?

Moreover, knowing Chu Munan for so long, she inadvertently learned that Zuo Yuqing was supposedly Chu Munan’s first woman.

And Zuo Yuqing’s first night was given to Chu Munan...

Don’t ask her how she knew this; it was because Chu Munan got drunk once and answered everything truthfully, which is how she came to know.

At that moment, she thought Chu Munan was drunk, answering whatever people asked, which utterly refreshed her worldview.

No wonder that man didn’t drink often; turns out he becomes like that when drunk.

But that was the only time she had ever seen him drunk.

Just as she was about to say something, the door of the private room suddenly opened from outside. Song Qiao turned her head towards the door, only to see the tall, upright man standing there.

Lu... Lu Jingchen?

How is this man here?

The visitor was none other than Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen’s face didn’t show any extra expression, still a look of indifference, his gaze directly falling on Song Qiao, suddenly seeming to sigh in relief.

Zuo Yuqing saw Lu Jingchen appear and had no special reaction, evidently expecting the man to come back, then smiled and said, "Looking at you like that, anyone would think you’re afraid I’ll do something to Song Qiao."

Lu Jingchen calmed down, walked directly in, pressed his lips together, and addressed Zuo Yuqing, "Your family’s driver is waiting outside, and your daughter is in the car."

Upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, Zuo Yuqing instantly stopped sitting here, picked up the bag placed aside, and said to the two, "Well then, I’ll leave first, or Little Red Bean will probably start crying and fussing later."

Lu Jingchen responded with a sound, directly making way for Zuo Yuqing to leave, clearly eager to quickly get rid of her.

Zuo Yuqing didn’t care about this detail, as the most important thing now, no matter who it is, is her daughter.

Zuo Yuqing quickly left, leaving only Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao in the room. Seeing Zuo Yuqing leave, Song Qiao, without knowing why, also had a sudden urge to escape. Thinking this, she really picked up her handbag from the side and said to Lu Jingchen, "If you’re tired, rest here for a while. I have something to do, so I’m leaving first."

With that, she stood up and headed toward the door. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

However, just as she was about to pass by the man, Lu Jingchen suddenly stretched out a big hand, grabbed her wrist, and with a slight force, pulled her into his embrace, moved two steps, and Song Qiao staggered back, her back directly hitting the wall.

Lu Jingchen trapped Song Qiao between the wall and his chest, looked down at the little woman in front of him, lightly parted his thin lips, and asked, "What did Zuo Yuqing say to you?"

Song Qiao only felt surrounded by intense male aura, causing a moment of dizziness. Squinting her eyes, she looked up again, and it was clear. Her teeth bit her soft lips, she spoke, "Nothing was said."

However, the man’s deep, dark eyes stared at her unblinkingly, then directly uttered, "Song Qiao, you’re not honest; you’re lying..."

The man’s distinct finger bones grasped her shoulder, his fingertips caressing the skin on her exposed shoulder, while his other hand secured her waist, the two almost intimately pressed together.

Hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, Song Qiao’s tiny face suddenly showed a trace of discomfort, but she stubbornly responded, "I said it’s nothing, so it’s nothing. When did I lie?"

"You like biting your lip when you lie."

Upon hearing this, Song Qiao immediately released her lip that she was biting.

Lu Jingchen saw her reaction, and sudden joy appeared on his face, yet he said in a low voice, "Sometimes I really wonder, biting yourself like that, do you not know it will hurt..."

The man’s gaze was too intense, making Song Qiao increasingly uncomfortable. She raised her hand to push the man in front of her away, but found that no matter how hard she exerted, he remained motionless, which made her a bit annoyed, finally squeezing out a sentence, "It hurts me, not you..."

"Watching it pains my heart." Lu Jingchen answered without thinking.

Song Qiao, "..." She didn’t know how to respond.

But inside, she felt more discomfort; she was still perplexed, feeling muddled because of Zuo Yuqing’s words.
