Chapter 191: Chapter 184: Zhan Qipei Rushes Back to Explain
“Didn’t my brother go on a business trip abroad? How could he be with her?” Nanqing asked dubiously, then stealthily glanced at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing’s expression was indifferent, just as usual, showing no emotions.
“Take another look at the comments below,” Xu Moqian huffed.
Qiao Jing and Nanqing scrolled down.
“A match made in heaven, what a perfect couple!”
“Look at the bouquet of roses in her hand, such a large bunch, it was clearly prepared carefully by that handsome guy.”
“My wife is finally off the singles market, and the guy looks so handsome, he totally matches my wife.”
“To the person above, stop using the word ‘wife’. Now Ming Youling is someone else’s wife.”
“Ah, ow – although it hurts, I still wish you both happiness! Hey buddy, you better not mistreat our idol!”
“…”
All the comments were of this sort.
Seeing this, Nanqing again sneaked a peek at Qiao Jing’s face, which remained as calm as ever, without any ripples.
Alright, it seemed that Qiao Jing truly had no romantic interest in her brother, so even with such a misunderstanding, she was completely indifferent.
“Honestly, I don’t think you can accuse my brother of cheating from just one photo! You’re being too one-sided,” Nanqing said unconvincedly as she looked at Xu Moqian.
“Humph! Do you think I would be so upset over just one photo? Take a look at this! It’s definitive proof!” Xu Moqian retorted.
After saying that, Xu Moqian opened a video.
It was an interview with Ming Youling.
Reporter: “Teacher Ming, what would you like to say about the photos from today?”
Ming Youling blushed, coquettishly lifted her hand to brush her hair back behind her ear.
“He and I are just ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, please don’t gossip.”
Although Ming Youling explained it that way, it was clear to any discerning eye that she was fond of Zhan Qipei.
“See? I didn’t make it up, your brother is definitely cheating!” Xu Moqian thrust the phone screen in front of Nanqing, raising his eyebrows as he spoke.
After finishing, Xu Moqian turned his head to look at Qiao Jing.
“Sister Jing, you should hurry and divorce Zhan Qipei! That guy is two-faced. He doesn’t deserve you!”
Hearing Xu Moqian say this, Nanqing suddenly became anxious.
“Just one video doesn’t prove anything. Maybe Ming Youling likes my brother, and he isn’t interested in her at all. Yes! That must be it, my brother is so outstanding, many people like him, surely Ming Youling is just making a mountain out of a molehill to grab his attention.”
“Is that so? If that’s the case, then why hasn’t your brother even called to explain?” Xu Moqian retorted.
Nanqing, in her anxiety, kept stealing glances at Qiao Jing, “That – that must be because my brother is busy! He’s overwhelmed with work on his business trip abroad.”
“Young lady, you’re young and don’t understand. Let me tell you, if a man is always too busy to talk to a woman, it means he doesn’t care about her.
That’s just what men are like; most of them have a scumbag nature. If they have time to hang out with friends drinking and playing sports, they can surely find the time to talk to their wives.”
Hearing Xu Moqian’s words left Nanqing with a twitching corner of her mouth, thinking to herself, aren’t you a man too? Saying this, is it really appropriate?
As Nanqing was thinking this, Qiao Jing stopped her work, took off her work clothes, and walked outside.
“Qiao Jing, where are you going?” Nanqing couldn’t help but call out.
“Clocking out,” Qiao Jing said, leaving after dropping those words.
Nanqing felt that something was off and followed Qiao Jing out.
“Qiao Jing, don’t listen to Xu Moqian’s nonsense. My brother is not that kind of person.”
Xu Moqian saw Zhan Nanqing chasing after him and followed suit.
“Sister Jing, I’m not talking nonsense. Zhan Qipei did have an affair, and it’s all blown up now. He hasn’t called you once, which shows he doesn’t care about you.”
While speaking, Xu Moqian noticed that Qiao Jing, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, and Zhan Nanqing stopped as well.
Why did they suddenly stop?
Xu Moqian curiously followed the direction Qiao Jing and Zhan Nanqing were looking, and his eyes widened in shock.
Zhan Qipei leaned against the car door. Seeing Qiao Jing coming out, he immediately walked towards her.
“How are you back? Weren’t you supposed to be on a business trip for half a month?”
“I dealt with things ahead of schedule,” Zhan Qipei said tenderly, his gaze fixed on the girl in front of him, never shifting for a second.
Not seeing each other for a day felt like ages, but for Zhan Qipei, not seeing Qiao Jing for seven days felt like seventy-seven ages.
Qiao Jing lightly raised her exquisitely arched eyebrows. He took care of half a month’s work in just a week? He must have really pushed himself.
Qiao Jing wanted to ask why he pushed himself so hard, but seeing the man’s tender, doting gaze filled with endless longing, she suddenly understood why he rushed back.
“The thing about the photo was a misunderstanding. Our branch in M-country was looking to have Ming Youling as a spokesperson, and we happened to meet. As for what she held in her hand, it was a gift from her fans, which has nothing to do with me,” Zhan Qipei explained.
“So, did you rush back for this misunderstanding?” Qiao Jing asked.
“Yes. I was worried you’d misunderstand.”
“Then you could have called.”
“Explaining in person is more sincere.”
Standing by, Zhan Nanqing felt like she was being force-fed dog food. She stepped back and then turned with a smug look towards Xu Moqian.
Her expression was clear. See? Her brother was not the kind of jerk you described, and the reason he didn’t call was because he’s more sincere than you—coming back in person. You got that?
“I didn’t misunderstand, and I wasn’t bothered,” Qiao Jing said, speaking the truth.
Zhan Qipei heard her words, and his heart suddenly felt a twinge.
He had traveled a thousand miles to come back, and she couldn’t say a few words he’d like to hear?
Never mind, he wouldn’t quibble with her. Thinking too much would just make him feel worse.
However, he still needed to handle the situation with Ming Youling.
Zhan Qipei immediately took out his phone, dialed Ming Youling, and put it on speaker.
Ming Youling was having her makeup touched up backstage. When she received Zhan Qipei’s call, she excitedly told her makeup artist to stop.
Zhan Qipei was calling her!
Could this mean that her seduction in M-country had an effect on Zhan Qipei?
At this thought, Ming Youling laughed out loud.
The makeup artist and assistant were confused as they stared at Ming Youling.
What was she suddenly going crazy about?
Ming Youling looked at the assistant and makeup artist with an expression that regarded them as ignorant fools, “Let me tell you, it’s the President of Zhan Corporation calling me!”
Jealous, aren’t you? Envious, right?
Just wait until she becomes the President’s Wife of Zhan Corporation, you’ll be even more jealous!
