From Runaway Bride to Global Queen

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Didn’t Give You the Chance to Seduce Someone Else’s Husband

Bai Lingling surprisingly hadn’t left; she was waiting for Qiao Yi to come down in the lobby on the first floor.

When Qiao Yi saw Bai Lingling, she was taken aback for a moment. Hadn’t this girl left already? Why was she still here, lying in wait like a hunter?

“I know you married Yanchuan, but don’t think that you can have Yanchuan completely. He will definitely be mine!”

“Miss Bai, you’re also twenty-two this year; you should be an adult. I suggest you watch less of those senseless novels and stop living in a fantasy world! Oh, I forgot to tell you, our marriage was actually Yanchuan’s own initiative!”

Qiao Yi made a helpless expression, and under Bai Lingling’s furious gaze, she turned and left.

Bullying children truly brought no pleasure; Qiao Yi felt it was much more satisfying to have a showdown with Qiao Xin.

Just thinking about Qiao Xin, she looked up to see Qiao Xin walking towards her. Without a word, Qiao Xin raised her hand to slap Qiao Yi.

Her little prowess didn’t even register in Qiao Yi’s eyes. With a lift of her hand, she caught Qiao Xin’s slap and flung her aside.

“What on earth did you do! Why did Dad call and scold me? Did you badmouth me to Dad!”

Qiao Xin was furiously irate, ready to devour Qiao Yi in the next moment.

“Dad scolded you, and you don’t ask him why, but instead, you come to me? Qiao Xin, is there something wrong with your brain?”

First provoked by the brat, and then by Qiao Xin, it was exasperating.

Qiao Xin, with an unscrupulous attitude, kept cursing at Qiao Yi, adamant that it was her doing.

Qiao Yi, becoming impatient, rolled her eyes and was about to leave but was caught by Qiao Xin, who wouldn’t let her go.

“Can you at least act like a human? Even if you accuse me of tattling to Dad, could you at least clearly state what I’m supposed to have reported? If you keep making these dirty accusations, watch out—I might just slap you!”

Gentlemen speak and don’t resort to violence. Qiao Yi never considered herself a gentleman; she preferred action rather than wasting words.

It wasn’t the first time Qiao Xin had been hit by Qiao Yi, and seeing Qiao Yi’s hand raised, she instinctively dodged backward.

After realizing what she had done, Qiao Xin became even more enraged.

“Qiao Yi! You well know that Lu Ming and I were forced to be together, and instead of repenting for stealing Lu Yanchuan from me, you’re now using such despicable tactics to bind me and Lu Ming together! Give me back my Lu Yanchuan!”

Qiao Yi understood, probably because of what Qiao Benqing said a few days ago about re-arranging Qiao Xin’s job. He had already made up his mind.

Qiao Xin hadn’t refused before; she had counted on getting a job at the Lu Group to be in close contact with Lu Yanchuan.

But Qiao Benqing’s words shattered her fantasy, for he had arranged her to be Lu Ming’s assistant! She wouldn’t be able to see Lu Yanchuan at all!

How could Qiao Xin be willing to accept this arrangement? But Qiao Benqing was very determined, and she didn’t have the right to refuse.

After receiving this news, Qiao Xin’s first reaction was that Qiao Yi must have said something behind her back.

It must be because she was afraid that if Xin entered Lu Group, she would be in frequent contact with Lu Yanchuan! That’s why she wanted to use this method to prevent her from seeing Lu Yanchuan!

Qiao Yi had almost completely guessed Qiao Xin’s thoughts—not because she could foretell the future, but because what Qiao Xin was thinking was written all over her face.

“Qiao Xin, listen carefully. I have nothing to do with your job arrangement. Of course, if you are convinced that I’m the one who sabotaged things, then continue to think that way. I don’t care.”

Qiao Yi crossed her arms and looked Qiao Xin up and down, ending with a disdainful curl of her lip.

“It’s really funny, what makes you think you have the right to come after me with accusations? Is it because I didn’t give you the chance to seduce someone else’s husband? You’ve lived for twenty-seven years, and all you’ve learned is how to lure married men?”

Qiao Xin was stung by Qiao Yi’s gaze, opened her mouth to retort, but was left speechless by Qiao Yi’s sharp words.

Qiao Yi hadn’t finished speaking, clicking her tongue as if she were judging a product, scrutinizing Qiao Xin from her fashion taste to her looks, with every aspect attracting Qiao Yi’s sarcastic remarks.

In the end, Qiao Yi glanced at the time and let out a cold snort.

“With the likes of you, even if you stood naked in front of Yanchuan, he probably wouldn’t spare you a glance. You really think too highly of yourself, it’s hilarious!”

Qiao Yi pulled sunglasses out of her purse, put them on, and forcefully bumped Qiao Xin’s shoulder as she walked out.

Qiao Xin glared at Qiao Yi’s departing figure, debating whether to rush up and fight with her when suddenly a hand landed on her shoulder.

“Let’s have a talk, shall we?”

Without that annoying person around, Qiao Yi happily went on a shopping spree, returning to the hotel with her spoils and the setting sun behind her.

In the room, the bed was piled high with items, and Qiao Yi was trying on a dress.

“How does it look, good or not?”

“It’s beautiful! I love this one! I want it!”

The bedside cabinet had Qiao Yi’s phone video open, and Feng Siyu on the other end was practically glistening with excitement at the sight of the dress on Qiao Yi, as if he wished he could reach through the screen and strip her of it right then.

“I knew you would like this one! I got two!”

Qiao Yi flipped another dress out from a pile of shopping bags, waving it in front of the camera, and packed the dress into the suitcase amidst Feng Siyu’s continuous confessions of “baby, I love you.”

Lu Yanchuan was sitting on the sofa, the documents in his hand had gone quite some time without being turned.

When Qiao Yi returned in the afternoon, Lu Yanchuan had already observed the twenty or so different-sized shopping bags in her hands, aware of the fruits of her shopping victories. Only after they finished dinner and darkness fell, did the hotel staff knock on the door, stating they had delivered all the items Qiao Yi bought, and had already brought them up.

Lu Yanchuan looked at the entire cart of goods and was genuinely stunned by Qiao Yi’s shopping prowess.

Qiao Yi didn’t even glance at Lu Yanchuan, lovingly had the cart pushed in, then called Feng Siyu.

For two whole hours, these two spent all their time just trying on and discussing clothes!

The cartful of goods, now less than half had been dealt with!

“Let me tell you, I’ve got my eye on a perfume, the scent is simply heavenly, the kind that could take you to the sky with a single whiff!”

Qiao Yi mysteriously dug out a small pouch from the pile, taking out a small box, which in turn had another small box inside.

Wrapped layer by layer, it took five layers for Lu Yanchuan to finally see the true face of this miraculous perfume.

This single perfume bottle, not even half the size of his hand, was more expensive than the entire haul of Qiao Yi’s stuff.

Lu Yanchuan, though not concerned about the money, genuinely couldn’t understand what Qiao Yi needed all these things for, and felt a certain itch himself.

Qiao Yi, discussing perfumes with Feng Siyu, turned her head to see Lu Yanchuan holding a pink box and immediately cried out.

“Put it down!”
