From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 116 - : There’s No Most Awkward, Only More Awkward
Chapter 116 -116: There’s No Most Awkward, Only More Awkward
“No.”
Lu Yanchuan replied crisply, causing Qiao Yi to roll her eyes in frustration.
“Hmph! Hurry up and go! Stop hanging around in front of me!”
Lu Yanchuan was ruthlessly driven out of the house by Qiao Yi, who then ran back to her bedroom and buried herself in the blanket, blushing secretly.
But in addition to being shy, Qiao Yi also felt some loss.
She had made it so obvious, yet Lu Yanchuan did not show any hint of jealousy, even cutting it off decisively as if he afraid to be involved with her.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yi suddenly sprang up from the bed, grabbed a pillow, and with a fierce look on her face, yelled at the air.
“You are already mine! Even if you want to leave now, you have to see if I agree!”
She regretted it; what could be done!
She had said that if Lu Yanchuan didn’t like her, they could break up; what could be done!
She wanted to go back on her word; what could be done!
After venting her anger at the air, Qiao Yi threw herself back onto the bed.
She needed to rest well today, for tomorrow is a big day; she needed to greet tomorrow in her best state!
Qiao Yi’s birthday banquet, under the joint effort of Zhao Wenjing and Old Mr. Lu,
started flamboyantly and grandly.
Qiao Yi was dragged out of bed by Zhao Wenjing early at five in the morning, and it took over five hours just for makeup and styling; they didn’t reach the venue until almost eleven.
After being fussed over by Zhao Wenjing, Qiao Yi herself became nervous.
Greeting after greeting, yet Qiao Yi couldn’t relax at all.
“Yiyi, do you feel unwell? Why do you look so pale?”
“I’m fine, maybe I got up too early and didn’t get enough sleep, I’ll be better later.”
Qiao Yi took several deep breaths and shook her head with a smile at Zhao Wenjing.
Seeing her speak so lightly, Zhao Wenjing also felt relieved and told Qiao Yi not to overexert herself, then went off to take care of other things.
Without Zhao Wenjing by her side, Qiao Yi felt much more relaxed and elegantly dealt with the guests coming and going at the venue.
“Ah! Miss Qiao! Long time no see! Haven’t wished you a happy birthday yet!”
A voice came from behind. Qiao Yi turned her head around, not yet having seen clearly who it was when she felt a chill on her chest; the entire cup of red wine the person was holding spattered all over her.
“I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry!”
Bai Lingling frantically tried to wipe off the wine stains on Qiao Yi’s body, but instead of cleaning the single spot, it spread all over after she was done wiping.
“It’s okay, but Miss Bai, you really can hold your wine.”
Qiao Yi pushed away Bai Lingling’s hand, and despite being completely disheveled, she inexplicably made Bai Lingling feel oppressed.
Bai Lingling clenched her hand and bit her lip, a face full of grievance and incomprehension.
“It’s indeed my fault for spilling wine on Miss Qiao, but, but it wasn’t on purpose… Miss Qiao, why say such strange things!”
“What’s Miss Bai nervous about, I just thought, carrying such a full cup of wine for so long, you must be able to hold more than one cup, right?”
Bai Lingling opened and closed her mouth, under Qiao Yi’s gaze that seemed to see through everything, yet she couldn’t say a word.
Yes, she did it on purpose, intentionally carrying a full cup of wine, intentionally splashing the red wine on Qiao Yi!
Of course, Qiao Yi saw her intention; otherwise, who would fill their wine glass so full at a banquet!
It’s impossible to say she was not angry, but Qiao Yi simply glanced indifferently at Bai Lingling a few times before turning around and heading to the restroom to change her clothes.
Thank goodness Zhao Wenjing had prepared a spare gown for her in advance, otherwise the embarrassment today would have been even greater.
“Let me see! Isn’t this the grand Second Miss Qiao, Third Madam of the Lu Family! How did she become a drowned chicken now!”
When things are at their worst, even worse things can happen.
Like when you are rushing to change your clothes soaked in red wine, you always bump into the person you least want to meet.
“What? Just out of the hospital and already rushing to be an eyesore?”
Qiao Yi glanced up and down at Qiao Xin disdainfully and snorted.
Qiao Yi always knew how to provoke Qiao Xin. Noticing the slight change in Qiao Xin’s expression, Qiao Yi’s eyes darted around, suddenly turning into a smile.
“Ah, I really don’t have time to waste with you; I need to hurry and change and go find my husband! Although my husband loves me no matter what I look like, what woman doesn’t want to show her most beautiful side to her loved one?”
“I guess you also dressed up so delicately to make Lu Ming love you more. I just saw Lu Ming, Sister, you should go quickly, he will definitely be charmed by you!”
Qiao Xin’s face turned from pale to green, from green to dark, Qiao Yi really knew how to make her both angry and disgusted.
Seeing that Qiao Xin probably wouldn’t recover any time soon, Qiao Yi pushed open the door of the dressing room with a triumphant posture and entered.
“Husband? Love you? Hmm?”
Goodness gracious! Someone strike her with lightning!
The most embarrassing life event is when you just borrowed someone else’s power behind their back, and then you run into the actual person.
Qiao Yi awkwardly carved out a three-bedroom one-living room apartment.
“Um… I just… cough cough, just joking!”
Lu Yanchuan’s gaze was piercing; Qiao Yi couldn’t bring herself to meet his eyes and, with a forced smile, moved to the dressing room door, only to be grabbed by someone just as she was about to push it open.
“Um…”
Qiao Yi’s lips were bitten, and the next moment, Lu Yanchuan’s voice with a hint of laughter sounded in her ear.
“Feeling shy? Or feeling guilty?”
“No! I’m not!”
Qiao Yi instinctively retorted, but Lu Yanchuan’s laughter deepened.
“Have you fallen in love with me?”
“I…”
She should have immediately denied it, but somehow Qiao Yi couldn’t utter the words of denial, her hands clutching at Lu Yanchuan’s clothes as if she didn’t want him to leave.
“Yiyi, I just heard someone say… Ah!!!”
The door to the dressing room was pushed open, and with a sharp scream, the door was slammed shut again.

The slightly amorous atmosphere that had just been building instantly vanished, and Lu Yanchuan looked towards the door unhappily, only to see Feng Siyu covering his eyes and repeatedly saying he saw nothing.
If you really don’t want to see, please close up your fingers! The gaps between those fingers are wide enough to drive a carriage through!
Qiao Yi pushed Lu Yanchuan away and turned to dive into the dressing room.
Unable to withstand Lu Yanchuan’s chilling air, Feng Siyu giggled and followed inside too.
“My dear sister! Why didn’t you tell me this gentleman was also here!”
Feng Siyu appeared frightened, clutching Qiao Yi and sobbing.
The look of wanting to stab someone in the eye is hard to hide; Lu Yanchuan’s gaze just now was already murderous!
Qiao Yi forcefully pushed Feng Siyu away, shoving her away from her face with both hands.
“You suddenly barged in! And you blame me! Get out quickly, I need to change my clothes!”
