From Runaway Bride to Global Queen

Chapter 130: Chapter 130 Feng Siyu Has an Accident

“How come I never knew you had such a beautiful assistant before? Mr. Lu’s really lucky!”

Once they got into the car, Qiao Yi suddenly started speaking in a mocking tone.

Even though Lu Yanchuan had stood up for her just now, the thought of her husband being on the minds of two other women still irked Qiao Yi.

“Are you jealous?”

“Jealous? I am not jealous at all!”

Qiao Yi stubbornly denied it, but her flushed cheeks completely betrayed her true feelings.

“Today, those two women looked at you like they wanted to swallow you whole. It’s only because I left quickly, otherwise who knows what might have happened! I just think you shouldn’t just welcome anyone who comes your way. Assistant Xiao is one thing, but if you’re also interested in someone like Qiao Xin, then your taste is really too much!”

Women always say one thing and mean another, claiming not to be jealous or not to care, all the while their hearts are already sour, yet they still put on an indifferent front.

After saying all that, Qiao Yi didn’t get a response from Lu Yanchuan for a good while, her bubbling jealousy suddenly turning into towering rage.

Could it be that her own words struck at his heart? Could it be that he really was entangled with these two women?

With tears in her eyes, Qiao Yi was just about to ask Ma Yu to stop the car when, in the next moment, she was pulled entirely into Lu Yanchuan’s embrace.

“Being so concerned about the women around me, could it be that you’ve fallen in love with me?”

“I am not in love with you! Don’t flatter yourself!”

Qiao Yi struggled, but she couldn’t escape Lu Yanchuan’s hold and was securely embraced in his arms.

Lu Yanchuan rested his chin on Qiao Yi’s shoulder and wrapped his arms around her waist, making her lean entirely against him.

“Not in love with me, and yet you get so jealous? Hmm?”

“I am not jealous! It’s just… you’re married to me; you’re my person, and nobody else can lay a finger on what’s mine! You think I really care…”

Qiao Yi’s words were cut off by Lu Yanchuan.

Ma Yu, with good sense, pressed the button for the middle partition, and suddenly the back seat became a sealed-off little space.

Qiao Yi was certain that this partition had been added recently—Lu Yanchuan was really crafty!

The car stopped in the old house’s yard, and a blushing Qiao Yi was led out of the car by Lu Yanchuan.

Looking at Qiao Yi, there was no sign of her previous fierceness; she was as docile as a kitten, obediently following behind Lu Yanchuan without daring to raise her head.

“What’s the matter with Yiyi? Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Lu Xiaohua was coming out of the house and was surprised when she saw Qiao Yi. She quickly pulled her towards the house.

“I’m fine, big sister, don’t worry about me. It’s probably just too hot; I’ll be fine after lying down for a while!”

Watching the retreating figure of Qiao Yi running away in a panic, Lu Xiaohua touched the long-sleeved shirt she was wearing, puzzled. The weather in October… shouldn’t be hot enough to cause this, right?

Qiao Yi had just run into the house when she came face to face with Old Mr. Lu.

“Yiyi, come here; Dad has something to talk to you about.”

Qiao Yi wanted to leave but couldn’t; Old Mr. Lu pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

“I heard you’ve been bringing Yanchuan meals lately? Have you considered what Dad said about going to work at Lu Group with Yanchuan? You could be Yanchuan’s special assistant at Lu Group. Just let Yanchuan handle the tasks, how about it?”

Qiao Yi had a small doubt in her heart. Why did Old Mr. Lu always want her to join the company?

Not to mention her capabilities, there was simply no need for her to work at the company. Neither the Lu Family nor the Qiao Family were unable to support her, a small parasite.

“Actually, I was just thinking that if you and Yanchuan worked together, you could have more topics to talk about. You’re young now and don’t realize the helplessness when a couple has nothing to say to each other in old age.”

Old Mr. Lu sighed and began to explain proactively, without waiting for Qiao Yi to ask.

“Back then, when Yanchuan’s mom and I were young, we always had endless things to talk about. But after our second child was born, there was nothing left for us to say to each other. Every time I think about it now, I deeply regret not having her by my side…”

Old Mr. Lu and Old Madam Lu had a very deep relationship. They had been married for more than twenty years, and Old Mr. Lu only had this one woman. While the Old Madam was alive, they were known as a match made in heaven to the outside world.

However, not long after giving birth to Lu Yanchuan, Old Madam Lu passed away, and Old Mr. Lu never remarried.

Seeing the old gentleman bringing up such a sad topic, Qiao Yi hurriedly changed the subject.

“Dad, don’t worry about me and Yanchuan. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health. As for working at the company, I’ll think about it and discuss it with Yanchuan before making a decision.”

Old Mr. Lu was about to say more, but the maid came over to say dinner was ready, so he had to let the matter rest for now.

After dinner, Lu Yanchuan was summoned to the study by the old gentleman. Qiao Yi lounged boredly on the sofa watching TV and suddenly sat upright after switching channels.

When Lu Yanchuan came out of the study, he didn’t see Qiao Yi. After asking, he found out that Qiao Yi had just rushed out in a hurry, not knowing what she was going to do.

The TV in the living room was still on, and drawn by the sound, Lu Yanchuan glanced at it and instantly knew where Qiao Yi had gone.

Feng Siyu had an accident; Qiao Yi must have gone to find Feng Siyu!

Indeed, Qiao Yi had gone to find Feng Siyu, and she didn’t even have time to tell Lu Yanchuan. She booked the nearest flight and flew alone to the place where Feng Siyu was in trouble.

Since parting in Jiang City, Qiao Yi knew only that Feng Siyu had gone to participate in a survival-themed reality show. Because it was a fully enclosed shoot, Qiao Yi had been unable to contact Feng Siyu.

And just now, Qiao Yi had seen on TV that Feng Siyu was involved in an accident, injured, and hospitalized!

Feng Siyu could not be reached, and neither could Gu Ting. How could Qiao Yi stay put under such circumstances!

“Where are you now?”

Just having arrived at the airport, Qiao Yi received a call from Lu Yanchuan. After hesitating, she still told Lu Yanchuan the truth.

“I’m at the airport. Yuanyuan had an accident, I need to go see.”

“Wait for me, I’ll come with you.”

“Hello…”

Lu Yanchuan said a word and then hung up the phone. When Qiao Yi called back, no one picked up, leaving her no choice but to anxiously wait at the airport.

The TV report wasn’t detailed, only mentioning that Feng Siyu had an accident during filming, without specifying how severely injured Feng Siyu was, or where the accident had happened.

In her haste, Qiao Yi had only booked a ticket to country Z, and now sitting in the airport, she slowly realized that she wouldn’t be able to find anyone even if she went to country Z!

Lu Yanchuan quickly arrived, and upon seeing Qiao Yi, he immediately took her to cancel the ticket.

“What are you doing? Why are you canceling the ticket? Yuanyuan is in trouble, I must go!”
