Watching her frown, as if she really hurt her nose, a trace of distress appeared in Lu Jingchen’s eyes. He lifted his hand to gently rub it for her, yet did not admit it was his fault, and instead spoke in a slightly annoying tone, "Who asked you to be so clumsy? It hurt, didn’t it? Next time, let’s see if you dare to be like this again..."

Upon hearing his words, Song Qiao immediately lifted her gaze and glared at him, her tone tinged with displeasure, "So, now you’re blaming me for this?"

Who was it that just grabbed her arm, pulling her abruptly into his arms, which hurt her nose??

Lu Jingchen’s thin lips were lightly pressed, his expression somewhat gloomy and unpleasant, clearly still angry. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Seeing the man like this, Song Qiao’s anger dissipated quite a bit, yet she still reached out to remove his hand from her nose, speaking in a neither good nor bad tone, "You said you trusted me, but your words just now clearly cast doubt on me and Chu Munan. Lu Jingchen... I said I really have nothing with Chu Munan, yet you don’t believe me..."

"I didn’t." The man denied without thinking, stepping closer to her, pulling her into his embrace, and couldn’t help but sigh, then spoke up, "Qiaoqiao, I don’t distrust you, I’m just jealous... Jealous of the five years you were away from me, Chu Munan was able to be by your side. Even when you gave birth to our son and daughter, he was there with you. I’m just jealous of him... I don’t distrust you..."

The man spoke very earnestly, yet his tone had a bit of a muffled feeling, as if he was truly jealous.

Song Qiao heard his words, and immediately her anger disappeared completely, directly laughing out loud, she voluntarily lifted her hands to wrap around his waist, saying, "I didn’t know, when did you become so petty? These years, Chu Munan’s just taken care of me like a sister, that’s all."

Lu Jingchen naturally didn’t mention that day Chu Munan and he had a fight, and she went to take care of him, even when she was in a coma in the hospital, she didn’t know, which made a huge rift in his heart.

After taking a bath, Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao watched a comedy and went to bed early because Lu Jingchen also told her that the next day, there would be a press conference to introduce Huanhuan to everyone, meaning Song Nianhuan would officially enter the Lu Family’s registration.

Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao were in a good mood, partly because Lu Jingchen found out he had a daughter, which he kept from Song Qiao; he actually prefers daughters over sons.

Especially one as beautiful as Song Qiao, he can dress her up as a little princess and take her out, indulging her every request.

Also, this event slightly sweetened their relationship, even while sitting in the cinema, Song Qiao curled up against Lu Jingchen like a lazy cat, chatting with him from time to time.

...

However, unlike Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao, the atmosphere was much less pleasant at Shallow Bay Villa, where Tan Shuya was sitting in the brightly lit living room, opposite Jiang Yingjie.

Jiang Yingjie looked at Tan Shuya, his face somewhat displeased, and straightforwardly said, "Didn’t I tell you not to be so impulsive? It’s not suitable to expose this information now, we don’t have enough evidence. If tomorrow Lu Jingchen retaliates against us, it wouldn’t be surprising. Do you think just buying those marketing accounts and hiring a bunch of internet trolls is right?"

His tone wasn’t very good, after all, he’d been precisely calculating each step of this plan from the beginning, unexpectedly it was Tan Shuya who couldn’t sit still and took action herself.

He regretted telling her everything.

He used to think Tan Shuya was quite smart, but for the first time, Jiang Yingjie felt she was just a big-breasted, brainless type.

He was indeed a bit annoyed this time by Tan Shuya’s impulsiveness.

Tan Shuya’s face was somewhat sullen and gloomy, she couldn’t help clenching her hands, used to Xue Wenbo’s gentle and warm demeanor towards her, and she understood his real feelings for her. It was the first time Jiang Yingjie spoke to her like this.

Feeling very uncomfortable inside, she bit her lip and said dissatisfied, "The internet is already cursing Song Qiao, hasn’t what I did been successful? Now everyone understands what kind of woman Song Qiao truly is..."

"You think that’s success?" Jiang Yingjie sneered, dismissively, "Don’t you see how neither CK Group, Ji Sifan, nor Song Qiao have responded at all? Do you think they’re scared? Shuyang, don’t be naive, just wait and see. They might be planning how to hit back at us now..."

Pausing, he showed a cynical smile, saying, "I’ve heard Song Qiao went to CK Group after work to find Lu Jingchen. The two didn’t stay long in the office before leaving hand in hand, and Lu Jingchen seemed to be in a good mood... Shuyang, do you understand what I’m saying?"

Tan Shuya’s expression changed immediately upon hearing Jiang Yingjie’s words, anxiously asking, "Could it be that the little girl isn’t Song Qiao’s daughter?"

Jiang Yingjie didn’t speak because he was thinking of another possibility, one that would indeed embarrass them.

Tan Shuya, seeing Jiang Yingjie’s expression, too had an idea flash in her mind, making her body freeze, and the blood drained from her face, she spoke after a long while, "Jiang Yingjie, do you know something?"

"Shuyang, maybe this time, we really made a mistake..."

"No, impossible... how could it be wrong? Haven’t you already investigated it clearly?" But Tan Shuya couldn’t believe it, stunned as she spoke, her tone full of endless hatred, "Song Qiao is inherently that kind of woman, it’s just that Lu Jingchen is deceived by her surface. I won’t give up on this thing so easily; don’t we still have her weakness? Shouldn’t we put that online? Not many people knew about that back then, and if everyone knows, Song Qiao’s reputation will surely be ruined..."
