My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 558 - 565 Witness Appearance_1

Qin Muchuan smiled easily. "Then you’re wasting your time thinking about it!"

She looked at him, puzzled. "Huh?"

He said earnestly, "Because I never thought of divorcing you. I’ve always loved you, how could I possibly leave..."

"Shut up!" Lin Xiangwan’s eyes darkened once again.

Qin Muchuan raised his hand, signaling her to pause. "Let me finish speaking first. You can berate me however you’d like once I’m done."

Anyway, she had already said all she wanted to and vented all her anger. It was only fair to give him a chance to speak. What he would say, and whether she would listen was up to her.

She closed her mouth.

"My involvement with Zhou Ziqing was a fabrication, purely for work reasons. That’s why I was with her..."

Lin Xiangwan nodded. "I see, your company and theirs had business together!"

"It’s not about that. It’s another matter, related to a drug enforcement organization," said Qin Muchuan, relieved. "The culprits have been caught, so my task is complete. I won’t be seeing her anymore." freewebnσvel.cøm

"Related to a drug enforcement organization?" Lin Xiangwan asked, raising her eyebrows.

Qin Muchuan nodded. "Since it’s a secret agency, I can’t disclose much. But the truth is, I used to work for them. This case was an important one I was involved in years ago. Since I had a convenient opportunity this time, the organization found me and asked me to get closer to Zhou Ziqing in order to gain some important leads."

Listening to all this, Lin Xiangwan found it hard to believe, as if she was watching a movie.

She gave a cold laugh. "Qin Muchuan, I always thought you were just a business savant, yet you’re also a master of deception? I can’t believe you came up with such a lie. If this were made into a movie, it would surely rake in both money and viewers. I’m sure it would be a hit."

Qin Muchuan frowned slightly, looking helplessly at her.

Seeing that he was silent, Lin Xiangwan smiled. "Nothing to say anymore?"

Qin Muchuan rubbed his forehead and returned a weak smile. "It’s not that I have nothing to say. I’m trying to figure out how to make you believe me. At the moment, I indeed lack evidence to prove myself."

"Why bother? It’s inefficient to go to so much trouble just to lie to me. Instead, you could spend this time thinking about how to expand your company and take your business to the next level," said Lin Xiangwan sarcastically.

"What’s the point of the company’s growth, or making more money if you’re not by my side? When a man’s wealth reaches a certain level, more wealth cannot bring him happiness," sighed Qin Muchuan, before picking up the phone on the dining table. "Let me call a friend and ask him to speak to you."

"Go ahead!" Lin Xiangwan stood up, straightened her clothes and said, "You can go on fabricating stories, or get your friends to lie to me. I won’t be listening through."

"When did I say I was lying to you?"

Lin Xiangwan gave a sarcastic smile. "Would you normally give me a heads up and say, ’I’m going to have someone lie to you later’? Could you say that?"

"Sit down and behave yourself," Qin Muchuan snapped at her.

"I won’t let you deceive me right under my nose!"

"If you keep being wilfully obstinate and refuse to listen to me, you’ll miss out on an opportunity with a man who was truly shocked to find out how much he loved you. And that man happens to be the father of your child, your husband," Qin Muchuan emphasised, before switching tack. "Since you’re so convinced I’m deceiving you, let’s just keep it up and see how far I can take this ’deception’."

This topic had piqued Lin Xiangwan’s interest. "Since your performance lacks an audience, fine, I’ll play along and assess your acting skills. But my time is precious, so make it quick! I need to go to the restroom."

Lin Xiangwan shook off his hand and went to the other side of the room.

The dining suite was large and had its own restroom. Qin Muchuan knew she wouldn’t leave and so he let her go.

Qin Muchuan nodded and then dialed Xiao Qingyao’s number.

"Hello... Ah, Old Qin!" Grinning, Xiao Qingyao wasted no time throwing around formalities soon as he answered the call.

Qin Muchuan found his tone infuriating. "I need you to come to the XX Private Kitchen right now. I’m waiting for you in the room on the east side!"

"Dinner, huh?" Xiao Qingyao replied, in high-spirits. "Look at you, you’ve done the organization a huge favor and it should be treating you to a meal! But here you are inviting me. That’s not right. Of course, you don’t need to bribe me. If the organization has any other exciting tasks like this one in the future, I won’t forget about you. You’ll be the first one we call!"

"Don’t you dare look for me. This was absolutely the last time," said Qin Muchuan firmly. "The reason I’m asking you to come for dinner is that you must help prove my innocence. Otherwise, my wife won’t believe me, and she wants to divorce me!"

Xiao Qingyao couldn’t believe it. "Really? Your wife wants a divorce? Come on, what did you do? It’s just because you helped us by pretending to be with Zhou Ziqing that she wants a divorce?"

"Are you kidding me? No woman can stand that. Even if it was fake, how could she believe me when I have no solid proof? Xiao Qingyao, you must come over now and clear this up!" Qin Muchuan demanded sternly.

"Fine, fine, I’m coming over right now!" Xiao Qingyao was fairly agreeable, but couldn’t help giving Qin Muchuan a little jab. "This isn’t me criticizing you, but your job performance really needs improvement. You couldn’t even handle a simple task properly and now you’re about to lose your wife. What should I say about you?"

Qin Muchuan, the one being lectured, almost cursed out loud. But he needed a favor from Xiao Qingyao right now, so he held it in.

He’ll wait, and once this is over, he’ll get his revenge.

"Alright, hurry up and get here!" Qin Muchuan urged.

"Okay, I’ll be there in fifteen minutes!"

"That’s too slow. Make sure you arrive within the next twenty minutes!" Qin Muchuan specified.

"Close enough. Order something I like – like the Braised Beef!"

"Don’t worry, I wouldn’t skimp on something as high-class as that. I’ll order it for you," Qin Muchuan generously offered.

"I’ll be right there!"

With that, Xiao Qingyao hung up the phone.

As soon as Qin Muchuan put the phone back on the table, Lin Xiangwan emerged from the restroom. "So, have you found your accomplice?"

"Yeah, found him!" Qin Muchuan gritted out. She still didn’t believe him.

"Who is it, they really stand by you!" Lin Xiangwan asked, not waiting for his reply, she continued. "Su Yueze, Qiao Junnan, or Xiao Qingcang?"
