418 You Again?!
“You should go back to your room and have a good rest.”
Yue Jiaojiao rested her head on his shoulder and relaxed after hearing what he said. She looked exhausted and said, “I’m a little tired, but fortunately, the three children are fine.”
“Zhao Zhan.”
Madam Qin waited for Zhao Zhan to leave Yue Jiaojiao in the room before she went up to him and said softly, “There’s a lady outside. She passed an invitation and said that she’s here to see you. We both know how good my lady’s temper is, but allow me to say something that I shouldn’t say. You must not-”
“I don’t have any other woman.”
Zhao Zhan didn’t wait for Madam Qin to finish speaking and immediately replied, afraid that Madam Qin would misunderstand him if he spoke any later. “Madam Qin, you can come with me to take a look.”
“You can’t possibly expect me to…”
“I won’t blame you. It’s only right for you to stand on Jiaojiao’s side. At home, whether it’s you, me, or even Zhao Nian, Jiaojiao will always be our number one priority forever.”
“I won’t be going to the door with you. I was just being a busybody. Naturally, I believe in your character.” Madam Qin’s face was a little hot. “I’ll go to Doctor Sun’s courtyard to look after the children. He doesn’t know how to take care of them at all.”
After Madam Qin finished speaking, she left in a hurry without waiting for Zhao Zhan’s reply.
Zhao Zhan’s brows were tightly furrowed all the way to the door. When he saw who it was, his brows were so tightly furrowed that they could squeeze a moth to death. His eyes were filled with obvious impatience and annoyance. “How did you find this place?”
“You’re finally here today, does it look like I’m one to give up?”
Liu Qinqin was wearing bright green clothes and the golden hair on her head was dazzling.
Zhao Zhan only took one look and immediately looked away when he felt uncomfortable.
His wife had always been gentle and elegant. The color of this woman’s clothes was a little brighter, and she looked pretty and lively. How can she live like this? It was so piercing that it made people’s eyes uncomfortable.
“Zhao Zhan,” Liu Qinqin lowered her head and sized herself up when he looked over. Then, she reached out to hold the hair ornament in her hair and lowered her head slightly as she spoke, “Why don’t you take a look at me? I’m a woman, yet I dare to come and look for you. Why are you acting so embarrassingly?”
Zhao Zhan didn’t expect her to twist these actions so badly.
He couldn’t help but think of Lin Yunxu back then. Back then, when he faced the other party with his heart, he should have been equally disgusted, right?
“I’m not looking at you because I don’t want to make myself unhappy. If there’s nothing else, please leave as soon as possible and don’t come back in the future. Our family doesn’t want to have anything to do with you.”
“I spent so much effort to find this place, how can you do this to me?”
Liu Qinqin’s face was full of grievances.
“About that day at the shop, I knew that you had no choice but to be so heartless to me because your wife was there. I came to find you today to invite you to go out of the city with me as forgiveness. Zhao Zhan, don’t you want to join me in the horse-riding party outside the city? That wife of yours is so delicate and needs you to pamper and protect her in everything. What’s the point of living with such a woman?”
“You don’t deserve to speak about my wife like that. If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“Zhao! Zhan!”
Liu Qinqin stomped her feet and looked at him with tears in her eyes. “I’m a woman. I’m literally standing right in front of you and putting my ego aside for you. I’ve said those things to you time and time again. Why are you trying to anger me? That day at the city gate, you didn’t even care about your own life and you tried to save me. At that time, I made up my mind to want you… But you’re actually so cold and emotionless.”
Zhao Zhan’s face was as cold as ice. After hearing her words, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. “That day at the city gate, I was worried that the crazy horse would scare my wife. If I had known that I would cause today’s trouble if I stopped that horse, I would have taken my wife and avoided it.”
A wind-breaking sound suddenly came from the door directly opposite.
Zhao Zhan suddenly raised his eyes and grabbed the whip tightly. He turned to look at Liu Qinqin with a stern expression. “With your violent personality, it’s no wonder you have a crazy horse. You can’t even compare to a strand of my wife’s hair.”
After he finished speaking, he let go of the long whip in his hand. Liu Qinqin lost her balance and took a few steps back. She looked at Zhao Zhan in disbelief. “You hurt me! You actually dare to hurt me! I know why you moved to Shangjing. I originally wanted to persuade my father to reconcile with you, but now, I’m going to go home and tell my father to not rest until you die!”
