Qiao Chen wanted to help her?

Xu Wan did not believe that he would be so kind.

“What do you want me to do? I have nothing. Nothing that you can seek to gain. I think it would be better for you to stop wasting your energy. Even if I get expelled from school, it has nothing to do with you. I will draw a line with the Qiao family. I won’t let the blame fall on the Qiao family.”

It was Xu Wan’s first time being so close to Qiao Chen. She could even see Qiao Chen’s eyelashes clearly. They were thicker and darker than a woman’s, which made him appear very profound and charming.

“I’m not discussing with you, do you understand? You don’t have a choice in this matter.” Qiao Chen reached out his hand to pinch Xu Wan’s chin. He lifted her chin slightly so that she could look up at him. Then, he said word by word, “I’ll help you settle your troubles. You, marry me.”

Upon hearing Qiao Chen’s words, Xu Wan was dumbfounded.

Marry?

Did this guy drink too much?

Hadn’t they already broken off their engagement?

Was Qiao Chen toying with her?

Xu Wan’s shocked gaze made Qiao Chen anxious.

Qiao Chen never liked to go back on his word, but he really had no choice.

That day, the head of the Luo clan, Old Master Luo, came to look for him. The first thing he did upon meeting Qiao Chen was to reprimand him.

“Qiao Chen, what on earth are you doing?!”

Old Master Luo was Old Master Qiao’s good friend for many years. He was also Qiao Chen’s elder. Hence, with Old Master Luo, Qiao Chen could only accept his chiding and could not retort at all.

“Old Qiao just died and you’re already disregarding his words? You actually chased Wan Wan out of the Qiao family?”

“I didn’t chase her away. She moved out by herself…” Qiao Chen said with a frown.

“If you weren’t reluctant to marry her, would she have moved out? Her parents lost their lives in order to save your father. Is this how you treat their child? If word got out, how would others think of your Qiao family! You unfilial scoundrel! If Old Qiao knew about this in his grave, he would be so furious that he would come back to life! Bring Wan Wan back immediately and marry her. If not, I’ll not allow your goods to pass the customs. Not even one of them!”

After reprimanding Qiao Chen, Old Master Luo left without looking back.

The goods pending customs clearance were worth 50 billion yuan, and it involved a collaborative order with overseas companies. If something went wrong, not only would the Qiao Corporation not be able to bear the losses, but the company’s reputation would also be tarnished.

Hence, Qiao Chen couldn’t ignore Old Master Luo’s words.

He could only look for Xu Wan.

But now, Xu Wan looked at him as if he was crazy. “Qiao Chen, do you think I’m as lunatic as you are? Why should I marry you? You already have a girlfriend and she’s pregnant. What will I be if I marry you? A mistress? If the two of us really get married, what will Bai Zhen be? Second Mistress? In the past, I only thought that you were too callous, but I didn’t expect you to be a scumbag as well!”

Scumbag…

No one had ever called Qiao Chen that in his entire life.

He was famous for his celibacy in the capital. His good friend Lu Xiao had tried to drag him to a brothel countless times, but he had always been unmoved. There were even rumors that he was gay.

He had been abstinent to such an extent, but now, Xu Wan was calling him a “scumbag”?

Qiao Chen was incensed.

However, he was angry because he felt wronged.

Xu Wan was very honored to have rubbed Qiao Chen off the wrong way. Qiao Chen was instantly livid.

“Xu Wan, on account that you’re a woman, I’ll tolerate you. Objecting to marriage is futile. You’re supposed to marry me, anyway. You’ve been my fiancée for over ten years. It’s only right for me to marry you. But don’t worry, I don’t fancy you either. We’re faking our marriage. When I’m done, I’ll divorce you. Of course, I won’t take advantage of you either. I’ll pay you a salary of two million dollars a day.”

Salary? Xu Wan looked at Qiao Chen in disbelief.

What did feelings mean to him?

What did marriage mean to him?

Who was she to him?

Was he so poor that he only had money left? Did he think he could buy anything with money?

Qiao Chen didn’t give Xu Wan a chance to reject him. He took out Xu Wan’s phone from her coat pocket and switched it on. Seeing that Xu Wan’s phone still had the iOS fingerprint unlock function, Qiao Chen directly grabbed Xu Wan’s finger over to unlock her phone. After that, he opened her contact list and unblocked his contact.

As he was using Xu Wan’s phone, his blood boiled—what the f*ck. This woman actually dared to block him!

“I’ll call you tomorrow. If you dare block me again…” Qiao Chen glared at Xu Wan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

After Qiao Chen left, Xu Wan still felt like she was dreaming.

Marry Qiao Chen? Impossible!

The next day, Qiao Chen called again and asked Xu Wan to dress up. He would pick her up in an hour.

Xu Wan didn’t know what Qiao Chen meant by dressing up. Why did she need to dress up to meet Qiao Chen?

However, Qiao Chen’s tone was too frightening. Xu Wan was also a little afraid that he would mess around, so she casually put on a knitted sweater and went downstairs to wait for Qiao Chen..
