"My marriage with you has nothing to do with her. She just needs to take care of the baby." In Qiao Chen's eyes, it was as if they were two completely different things that did not conflict with each other.
Xu Wan looked at Qiao Chen as if he was crazy. She couldn't understand Qiao Chen's way of thinking at all.
This person was really sick in the head.
When they arrived at the hotel, the lobby was filled with fresh bouquets and balloons. The upper class guests dressed in formal attire walked through the lobby, either chatting amiably or ballroom dancing with the music on the dance floor.
When Qiao Chen appeared, everyone looked over.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Today, I'll formally introduce you to my fiancée, Xu Wan." Qiao Chen turned slightly and let Xu Wan appear in front of everyone.
Xu Wan had never been the center of attention before. She grabbed the edge of her dress uneasily when she felt everyone's different gazes on her.
Few people knew about Bai Zhen's pregnancy. Now that Qiao Chen announced that Xu Wan was his fiancée, Xu Wan suddenly attracted everyone's attention. Those noble ladies who secretly liked Qiao Chen all glared at Xu Wan with jealousy and hatred.
That night, Xu Wan sat uncomfortably for over two hours. She met many of Qiao Chen's business partners with him and acted as Qiao Chen's so-called fiancée like she was a puppet doll .
"That's right. You finally know how to repent. Isn't that the right to do? Wan Wan has such a good temperament. One look and you can tell she's from a noble family. Now that Old Qiao has left, don't blame Uncle Luo for being nosy. I'm doing this for your own good."
An old man with gray sideburns patted Qiao Chen on the shoulder. Among many people, he was the only person Qiao Chen respected.
Xu Wan had a vague impression of this old man. He seemed to be Old Master Qiao's good friend.
"Hello, Uncle Luo." Xu Wan greeted Old Master Luo politely.
"Yes, Wan Wan, you and Qiao Chen will truly be a family from now on. This rascal has a bad temper, but you don't have to be afraid of him. If he ever does anything wrong to you, feel free to tell Uncle Luo. I'll help you!" Old Master Luo laughed and said to Xu Wan, "When you get married, quickly have children so that Qiao Chen will turn over a new leaf."
Xu Wan was so embarrassed that she scratched the ground with her fingers. Who would want to have a child with this bastard!
No, she was already pregnant with this bastard's child…
Xu Wan instantly fell into despair.
Seeing Xu Wan's miserable face, Qiao Chen was afraid that Old Master Luo would notice that something was amiss. Hence, he hugged Xu Wan's waist and said affectionately, "Wan Wan, Uncle Luo is right. When we get together, let's have a few children. Then, we can bring our family to Uncle Luo's house for a meal."
Xu Wan got goosebumps from Qiao Chen's disgusting tone.
Qiao Chen, what are you pretending for!
Unexpectedly, Qiao Chen's manly act deceived Old Master Luo. He nodded in satisfaction. "Good, you rascal. You've finally grown up. I'll settle the paperwork for your goods in the next few days. I'll get a few more people to monitor them for you. I guarantee nothing will go wrong before you export them!"
"Thank you, Uncle Luo." Qiao Chen bowed politely.
After meeting the guests, Qiao Chen finally let Xu Wan off.
"What kind of expression is that? Do you feel aggrieved by being my girl? Do you know how many women out there dream of being in your current position?" Qiao Chen sat on the sofa and leaned against the backrest. He crossed his legs while he looked at Xu Wan leisurely and mockingly.
What a narcissist!
Xu Wan despised Qiao Chen from the depths of her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything else. She only had an expression that said, "Although I don't really approve of it, I won't comment."
"I'm tired. I want to rest." Xu Wan said when she realized she had nothing else to do.
"Bring her to my room," Qiao Chen told Ah De.
"You're my fiancée and we sleep in separate rooms?" Qiao Chen frowned as he looked at Xu Wan. "Why? Are you trying to make others think that I'm not good enough?"
Xu Wan did not know how to reply.
In the end, to save Qiao Chen's face, Xu Wan still went to his room.
Qiao Chen's room was the most luxurious suite. It was huge, but there was only one room. When Xu Wan entered the room, she took off her high heels first. After rubbing her feet, she felt both physically and mentally exhausted. She lay on the bed and fell asleep.
…
"Mom, how did Qiao Chen have a fiancée? Why didn't I know about it?"
Chi Li's eyes widened in disbelief.
The rich lady standing opposite Chi Li sighed. "I just found out that this Xu Wan is an orphan adopted by Qiao Chen's father. She had been raised in his family for many years. Although Old Master Qiao wanted to match-make the two of them, Qiao Chen has never liked that woman. He doesn't allow outsiders to talk about their relationship, so few people know about this."
