From Runaway Bride to Global Queen

Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Don’t you remember?

Qiao Yi felt she must still be dreaming and pinched her thigh hard to wake herself up.

“Ow!”

Qiao Yi instantly jumped out of bed and stood barefoot on the floor, rubbing her thigh forcefully.

Lu Yanchuan came back into the room and watched Qiao Yi, who seemed to be going mad on the floor, and pressed his lips together, watching her silently.

Qiao Yi had been shouting for a while before she turned around and realized that Lu Yanchuan was actually standing at the doorway and hadn’t left. Did he… see everything just now?

There’s probably nothing left in this world worth staying for, Qiao Yi now just wanted to disappear on the spot.

Gathering her last bit of strength to maintain her composure, she smiled at Lu Yanchuan and then ran like her butt was on fire towards the dressing room.

Upon entering the dressing room, Qiao Yi was shocked again.

There were three-sided cabinets in the dressing room with a large mirror on the wall opposite the door.

That wasn’t the important part—the most important thing was, why were all three walls of cabinets filled with unworn women’s clothing?

Qiao Yi tentatively took down two pieces of clothing, only to find they were both her size.

Were these all prepared by Lu Yanchuan?

Just like before at Emperor Garden, the Lu Family, and this house, Qiao Yi wondered if Lu Yanchuan had prepared living supplies for her in all his houses?

“Hurry up and change clothes, we need to return to the old house for lunch.”

“Ah!”

Qiao Yi screamed and threw a punch behind her but was caught by someone and held in their arms.

Lu Yanchuan had slipped in at some point, his shirt already half-unbuttoned, and through the open collar, Qiao Yi could see the scars all over Lu Yanchuan’s chest.

Looking at those marks, they seemed to be scratches?

Qiao Yi’s struggles suddenly halted, and she was overwhelmed by indescribable feelings.

Although she had made it clear that their marriage was in name only and didn’t count, the scars on Lu Yanchuan’s body were too suggestive, leading her thoughts towards ambiguous territories.

Lu Yanchuan just looked at Qiao Yi’s eyes and knew what she was thinking. Thinking back to how she tormented him all last night, Lu Yanchuan initially intended to explain stopped the words at his lips.

“Hurry up and get ready.”

Lu Yanchuan quickly changed his clothes and went out, while Qiao Yi, head dizzy, randomly pulled on some clothes and followed.

Descending the stairs, Ma Yu was already waiting in the living room. Seeing Qiao Yi walking down from upstairs with a weary face, Ma Yu wore an odd expression.

Qiao Yi, seeing his look, felt he was mocking her. Just married for less than a month and her husband had already come back with a body full of marks, it was a complete embarrassment in her view.

“What are you looking at!”

Qiao Yi glared at Ma Yu as she passed by him, and the weird smile on Ma Yu’s face grew even deeper, even beginning to bite his lip to stop himself from laughing out loud.

This made Qiao Yi even more puzzled. If Ma Yu was just mocking her, his expression shouldn’t be like this now. It seemed like he was merely thinking of something hilarious, hence the expression.

Thinking this, Qiao Yi felt somewhat better inside, though her face still wore a look of dissatisfaction as she glared at Ma Yu.

“What are you laughing at! Do you think I’m funny!”

Ma Yu was initially startled, then looked at Qiao Yi somewhat strangely.

“You don’t remember?”

“What do I need to remember?”

Qiao Yi was even more puzzled than Ma Yu, and even had a faint ominous feeling.

Just as Ma Yu was about to speak, he saw Lu Yanchuan standing coldly at the door watching him. A cold sweat broke out on his back, and he lowered his head and walked past, quietly leaving a message for Qiao Yi.

“About last night, you can check the surveillance.”

Qiao Yi took note of these words, and her unease grew stronger, almost overwhelming her.

On the way, Qiao Yi tentatively asked Lu Yanchuan several times, but Lu Yanchuan was tight-lipped and she couldn’t get anything out of him. Instead, it was Qiao Yi herself who was restless, really wanting to rush back to check the surveillance to see what she had done last night.

She had drunk too much alcohol yesterday and had absolutely no memory of last night. Did she embarrass herself last night?

Thinking of this possibility, Qiao Yi simply wanted to die on the spot.

How could she live like this! Why does she always encounter such embarrassing situations!

Upon reaching the old house, when getting out of the car, Lu Yanchuan, as usual, showed no expression, and Qiao Yi, because of her nervousness and worry, also kept a straight face. The expressions of the two were strikingly similar, and even though they were holding hands, they looked like enemies.

Qiao Yi noticed that Qiao Xin and Lu Ming had also arrived.

After what happened yesterday, it was difficult to believe that Qiao Xin could still smile so ingratiatingly at Old Mr. Lu today.

Qiao Yi turned her face away and refused to look at her; she had already saved the evidence regarding yesterday’s incident immediately. Unless Qiao Xin was a fool, she wouldn’t come to trouble her at this time.

However, Qiao Yi still overestimated Qiao Xin’s intelligence. While sitting there playing with her phone, Qiao Xin suddenly sat down next to her.

Qiao Yi glanced at her and decided to ignore her, but Qiao Xin had no intention of letting Qiao Yi off the hook.

“Yesterday, you were just lucky. Don’t think you can be so smug all your life; Lu Yanchuan will eventually be mine. Just wait and see!”

Qiao Yi really wanted to know, her father Qiao Benqing and her mother Zhao Wenjing, both were not fools, and neither were her and her brother. Why did such an anomaly appear in their family?

Qiao Yi rolled her eyes and did not engage with Qiao Xin, her mind was full of what she had done last night.

“Qiao Yi! You!”

“Keep your voice down, do you know how annoying you are?”

Qiao Yi rubbed her ears, unable to bear the torture on her ears any longer.

“Ah!”

Qiao Xin suddenly screamed, and her whole body fell backward.

Seeing that she was about to fall onto the coffee table, Qiao Yi quickly grabbed her arm to stabilize her, but the next moment, Qiao Yi’s face suddenly felt a slap.

“Qiao Yi! I know you’re not happy that I’m marrying Lu Ming while you’re marrying Lu Yanchuan, but this was your own choice. Why are you treating me this way! I already said, I will live peacefully with Lu Ming, why can’t you just let me go!”

Qiao Xin pointed at Qiao Yi as if she was on the verge of collapse and started crying. A side of Qiao Yi’s face quickly swelled up, even her lips were split by the slap, and a bit of fresh blood spilled from Qiao Yi’s mouth.

Qiao Yi gently touched her face, looked at the high-pitched yelling Qiao Xin, and suddenly found it somewhat humorous.

She was being bullied by Qiao Xin again because of her soft heart.

Countless times, how could she never learn her lesson?

Qiao Yi calmly watched Qiao Xin, her eyes devoid of any warmth, yet there was a smile on her face. It was this look that gradually lowered Qiao Xin’s voice.
