Before Xu Wan could react to the situation, Qiao Chen sneered. "You found your next target pretty quickly. Xu Wan, I have underestimated you."
What did Qiao Chen mean?
Xu Wan's face turned pale. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain that she had nothing to do with Han Bing.
"Brother Chen, I've always felt that she's not a good person since a long time ago. When she was still your fiancée, she had already hooked up with another man. This kind of shameful behavior is really disgusting. Miss Xu, are you even worthy of the kindness that Old Master Qiao showed you? But luckily, Brother Chen and I ended up together. Brother Chen, let's ignore her. Let's go!" Bai Zhen held onto Qiao Chen's elbow and threw a loathing glance at Xu Wan.
Qiao Chen also glanced at Xu Wan. In the past, he rarely looked at Xu Wan directly because he didn't care about her at all.
This time, however, he examined Xu Wan carefully. Then he laughed mockingly. "I thought you were at least a clean person. I didn't expect you to be like this."
When Xu Wan heard Qiao Chen's words, she felt her blood boil. The rage in her heart almost made her give Qiao Chen a tight slap!
"Qiao Chen, I didn't—" Xu Wan opened her mouth furiously, ready to explain that she had nothing to do with Han Bing.
"Yo, Third Brother of the Qiao family, mind your words. Haven't you always disliked Wan Wan? Why didn't you allow me to pursue her? You're right. Wan Wan and I have gotten together since a long time ago. We were in love! Luckily, you broke off the engagement with her. Speaking of which, I have to thank you too!" Han Bing snickered while looking at Qiao Chen. Concurrently, he dragged Xu Wan to his back.
"Han Bing, you—" Xu Wan was interrupted by Han Bing. He hugged her and walked towards the hospital. "Come, baby, let's go see the doctor!"
Qiao Chen watched the two of them walk into the hospital ahead of time. His face was so gloomy that it seemed to be filled with murderous intent.
…
"Wan Wan, what's up with your expression?" Xu Wan looked so ghastly that Han Bing stared at her in shock after they entered the outpatient clinic.
"Are you still angry with Qiao Chen? Don't worry, from now on, I, Han Bing, will protect you. No one in the Imperial Capital will dare to bully you!"
Don't you know I'm mad at you?!
Xu Wan gritted her teeth as she glared at Han Bing. "I don't need it! Han Bing, can you stop spouting nonsense in front of outsiders? I have nothing to do with you!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We will be in a relationship in no time. Wan Wan, now that you have left the Qiao family, how can I not be worried about you? You are still a teenage girl. How about I be your boyfriend? I can take care of you. We can still display our affection in front of Qiao Chen and his girlfriend. It will make their blood boil!" Han Bing said sincerely.
Xu Wan looked at Han Bing speechlessly. After this interaction with him, she understood that it was useless to reason with someone like Han Bing.
"I need to go to the toilet," Xu Wan said coldly.
"Alright, alright, I'll wait for you!" Han Bing sat on the chair obediently and looked at Xu Wan with a smile, as if Xu Wan was already his beloved wife.
Xu Wan gritted her teeth as she walked to the bathroom.
Of course, she would not have her body examined in front of Han Bing. She had vomited because she was pregnant. Once she received an examination, Han Bing would surely find out.
She didn't want anyone to know about that.
Xu Wan put on some light makeup in the bathroom before she left through the back door of the hospital.
Han Bing did not expect her to sneak away, so he waited for her at the outpatient clinic. After waiting for over twenty minutes, he realized that something was amiss.
"F*ck, Little Meatball, you're good! You've actually learned how to lie!" Han Bing stomped his feet furiously.
Xu Wan left the hospital and went to the western restaurant where she worked. The manager saw her and frowned. "Why are you so late?"
Xu Wan hung her head. "I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
"Carry on." The manager waved his hand and didn't say much.
Xu Wan changed into the waitress's uniform and put on the staff's cap. Then, she took the menu and went to the dining table to serve the customers.
This western restaurant was in a bustling area and its business was very good. Xu Wan could earn quite a lot from tips by working here part time.
After the dining peak hour, Xu Wan finally had time to rest. She leaned against the bar counter and listened to the music played by the violinist in the restaurant. She closed her eyes in exhaustion.
"Wow, that man is so handsome! Oh my god, he's even more handsome than my idol!"
"Stop being so infatuated, can't you see that he already has a girlfriend?"
…
The lady at the front counter and the other waiters started whispering to one another. Xu Wan was neither interested in their conversations nor did she want to look at handsome guys. She continued leaning against the bar counter.
It was almost time for her part-time shift to end. The customers that came then were all serviced by staff members of the next shift.
Xu Wan propped herself up against the bar counter and felt her legs aching badly. She took her hat off and prepared to leave.
"Oh my god, isn't that Xu Wan? Why is she here? She really spoils the mood! Brother Chen, let's go somewhere else!"
